Chapter five: Yusei and friends do Super Hero High School
It was a peaceful and lovely enough day over in New Domino City, a suburb of San Francisco, California. The Atlas Penthouse seemed perfectly fine as four of the residents of said penthouse, Yusei Fudo, Jack Atlas, Crow Hogan and Kalin Kessler, walked up to the front door after having returned from doing a bit of grocery shopping.
"That's when her little brother made me something that he called a Peanut Butter and Sauerkraut sandwich," Crow said in a casual and conversational tone as he and the other three guys got up to the penthouse's front door, "Despite how it may sound, it actually tasted pretty damn good. After finishing the sandwich, I proceeded to ask him for the recipe." (1)
"From the sound of things, Birdbrain," Jack remarked as he opened the front door, "It doesn't sound all that difficult of a recipe to figure WHAT IN THE BLOODY FUCK HAPPENED HERE?!" Jack changed his trail of thought and dialogue midsentence when he and the other three guys saw, to their shock, that there was a rather large hole in the penthouse's ceiling, exposing the living room to the elements.
…And by 'rather large hole in the penthouse's ceiling', I mean that the penthouse's living room no longer has a ceiling. Standing in the middle of the ceiling-less living room were Akiza Izinski, Carly Carmine and Brianna Stone, the respective girlfriends of Yusei, Jack and Crow. As the guys looked at the girls, Leo and Luna the wonder twins came walking into the living room. Looking to the guys, Leo said in a deadpan, "Yeah, guys. Akiza, Carly and Brianna thought that it would be a good idea to pet-sit for the new next-door neighbors."
"Pet-sitting did this?!" Jack exclaimed as he gestured to the lack of a ceiling in the penthouse living room. Facing the women, Jack said, "Carly, girls, what the bloody fuck were the three of you looking after?!"
"Pokémon," Carly replied in as casual of a tone as she could manage. (2)
"Pokémon?" Yusei repeated in a confused deadpan.
Nodding in the affirmative, Akiza said, "It's true, Yusei. The new next-door neighbors are a mom and her twin fourteen-year-old children, one boy and one girl. Both children own a party's worth of Pokémon each, and the girls and I were asked to pet-sit all twelve of those Pokémon while the mom and her kids went to assist their elderly aunt with moving furniture."
"So, one of the Pokémon that you girls watched did this?" Kalin asked as he pointed to where the penthouse living room's ceiling used to be.
"Well how the fuck was I supposed to know that the boy's Palkia would freak out upon eating some spicy sashimi rolls that I gave it?" Brianna replied in a defensive tone as she shrugged.
"I'm guessing that it had a nature that inhibits the growth of its physical attack stat," Crow remarked as he wore a look of consideration, "Pokémon with natures that inhibit the growth of the physical attack stat hate spicy foods."
"Well this is just great," Jack remarked as he threw his hands up into the air, "My penthouse's living room in now completely devoid of a ceiling, exposing everything to the elements!"
"Can we at least get the family whose Pokémon did this to cover the costs of replacing the ceiling?" Yusei asked.
"Yeah, that's not going to happen," Akiza replied. Holding up a sheet of paper that had some instructions written on it, Akiza said, "Partly because this whole mess is kind-of Brianna's fault, as she didn't even read the instructions that the boy left concerning his Pokémon, which would have told Brianna that the boy's Palkia has a Timid nature-"
"I knew it!" Crow exclaimed.
"-But mostly because the next-door neighbors can't afford to replace the penthouse living room's ceiling," Akiza finished.
"Well shit," Jack swore, "Ain't this just fan-fucking-tastic." Looking skyward, Jack shouted, "How the fuck are we going to fix this-" Jack was cut off when he suddenly coughed and spat at the floor. "A fucking bird just shat in my mouth!" Jack exclaimed as he spat and coughed.
Looking up, Akiza said in a conversational tone, "Oh, that was actually the neighbor girl's Gliscor. He must be out getting some exercise."
"Okay everyone, first thing's first," Yusei began as he got everyone's attention, "We need to restore the penthouse's living room's ceiling, then we need to send in for an application for the aspect of our home owner's insurance that covers living in close proximity to Pokémon."
"How are you going to afford fixing the ceiling, Yusei?" Luna asked.
"It's not so much fixing the ceiling, so much as it is getting a new ceiling altogether," Leo pointed out to his twin sister.
"Luckily for me, an old friend of mine is looking to hire some help at the school that she runs," Crow remarked, getting everyone's attention, "Conveniently, she needs to hire four new people. I'll just call my friend up, tell her that Yusei, Jack, Kalin and I are in the market for some new jobs, and bada-bing bada-boom, the guys and I will get the employment we need to be able to afford to replace the penthouse living room's ceiling."
"And where, pray tell, does your friend work, Birdbrain?" Jack asked as Crow pulled out a smartphone to call up his friend.
"Super Hero High School," Crow replied in a casual tone as the other end of the call was at that moment picked up.
As Crow talked on the phone with his friend, Kalin asked, "Are we just going to overlook the fact that one of the next-door neighbor kids owns a deity?" (3)
The following afternoon, Yusei and the guys pulled into a parking lot at Super Hero High School in Yusei's Volkswagen van. "So, Crow," Yusei began as he locked the van up, "Who is this friend of yours who works here?"
Before Crow could answer, they heard a woman's voice say from behind them, "About damn time you boys got here!" The guys turned to see a dark-skinned woman with short black hair walk up to them. She wore a black long-sleeved suit-top that was open in the front, revealing a dark-blue (4) dress shirt worn underneath. The woman also wore a black dress skirt that reached close to her knees, black high heel shoes, a gold necklace with three circles hanging off the front, and two gold earrings, one in each ear lobe, that were both circular and roughly the same size as the middle gold circle on the necklace.
"Amanda B. Waller," (5) Crow remarked in a happy tone upon seeing the woman, "Girl, it's been ages!"
"Crow F. Hogan," replied Amanda, sounding just as happy to see Crow as he is to see her. Holding her arms out, Amanda said, "Come here and give me a hug, my nigga!"
"Wait a minute," Jack began as Crow and Amanda hugged each other, "Birdbrain, your middle initial is F?"
"Yeah," Crow replied as he turned to face Jack and the other guys upon breaking out of the hug with Amanda.
Sighing, Jack continued, "I know I'm probably going to regret asking this, but what does the F stand for?"
"Fucking," Crow replied in a casual tone, "Which means my full name Crow Fucking Hogan."
Sighing in a knowing manner, Jack muttered to himself as he pinched the bridge of his nose, "Of course, that's what the F stands for. Of course, it is."
"These your friends you were telling me about over the phone, C-Fly?" Amanda asked as she turned to face Crow.
Nodding in the affirmative, Crow replied, "Damn straight, girl! Going from left to right, their names are Yusei Fudo, Kalin Kessler and Jack Atlas."
"Ma'am, we were informed that you're looking to hire some new staff members here," Yusei began in as respectful a manner as he could manage, "Is this true?"
"That is indeed true," Amanda replied. Turning around, Amanda said as she gestured for Yusei and the guys to follow her, "Well don't just stand there with your thumbs up your asses, boys. Come on in!"
In Amanda's office in the school's main building, Amanda sat at her desk as Yusei, Jack, Crow and Kalin stood before it. "So, Crow," Amanda began, "You think that you and your friends have what it takes to teach here at Super Hero High School?"
"This isn't the first time I taught at a High School," Crow replied, "I can handle it."
"Wait a minute," Yusei said, "Crow, you have experience teaching at a High School?"
"I subbed for one of the teachers back when we visited Echo Creek," Crow explained, "Also, one of my previous trips to Royal Woods prior to Music-palooza involved me subbing for one of the teachers at Royal Woods High."
"Ma'am, with all due respect, why would you even consider trusting Birdbrain here with the task of teaching some of the students here at this school?" Jack asked Amanda while jerking a thumb at Crow.
"Because I trusted him with my diet and exercise regimen from a while ago," Amanda replied as she opened a desk drawer. Removing something, Amanda laid what she removed, a photo, on her desk and slid it over to the guys. It was Yusei who picked up the photo, which showed a full-body picture of a very well-fed Amanda Waller. "It's thanks to Crow that I dropped well over two-hundred pounds," Amanda remarked, "I may not have even become the person I am today if it were not for Crow."
"I used a dance-based workout routine I picked up during one of my trips out to Konohagakure," Crow remarked as he turned to face his friends, "It involves using a different dance every day. The inventors of the routine used it to help some really fat local lady drop a lot of weight."
"…Impressive," Yusei remarked as he handed the photo back to Amanda. After Amanda put the photo away, Yusei said, "Well ma'am, I have another question concerning this school."
"Go on, child," Amanda replied, giving Yusei the go-ahead to proceed.
"Seeing how this is a High School," Yusei began, "Is there a clique of popular students at this school who the boys and I should be made aware of? You know, a group consisting of five to seven students, most if not all of the students in the group being girls, that routinely solves the vast majority of the problems here at the school?"
"Like the human versions of those ponies that Brianna likes so much," Crow remarked as he held up his right index finger. (6)
"Now that you mention it, I gathered seven of the students to serve as your welcome party and to take you boys on a tour of the school," Amanda replied, "In fact, they should be-" Amanda was cut off when someone knocked at her office door. "Come in!" Amanda called out loud enough to have been heard on the other side of the door. At that prompting, a teenage girl opened the door and entered the office.
She had long orange hair, green eyes, and fair skin. She wore a purple long-sleeved shirt with a yellow bat-shaped symbol over her chest, gold-colored arm guards, black gloves, a yellow utility belt with a bat-shaped symbol on the center in the front, black pants, and yellow boots. "I was told that the new teachers arrived, Principal Waller?" the girl said in a mildly unsure tone as she entered the office.
Turning to face Amanda, Crow asked, "Who the fuck is this girl? She's not one of the geeks here at the school, is she?"
"Oh, hells yeah, C-Fly," Amanda replied with a casual nod in the affirmative. Gesturing to the girl who just walked into the office, Amanda said to Yusei and the other guys, "Boys, this here is Barbara Gordon. She's one of those straight-A students who you can trust." Looking to Barbara, Amanda continued, "Young lady, these here are the new teachers."
"I'm Yusei," Yusei greeted. Gesturing to Jack, Crow and Kalin (in that order), Yusei continued, "These are my friends Jack, Crow and Kalin."
"Is there anything we should know about you before we begin the tour?" Jack asked.
"Well," Barbara replied as she began to list things off of her fingers, "I have a GPA that exceeds 4.0, I love working with computers and other technology, my bestie is a Kryptonian, my dad is a police commissioner, oh, and I'm also known as Batgirl."
"…Explanation, please?" Kalin said as he turned to face Amanda.
"Yeah, this is a High School for superheroes," Amanda stated, "But then again, you'd have to be a dummy to not realize that, especially given that the name of the school is Super Hero High."
"Crow, why didn't you tell us the students at this school were superheroes?" Yusei asked, "I'm not sure about you, but I feel like something like that is info that we need to be made aware of right away."
With a casual shrug, Crow replied, "I personally don't see what the big deal is."
"So, when do we start?" Jack asked when he turned to face Amanda.
"The tour or your jobs?" Amanda replied.
"Yes," Jack said, drawing a confused look out of the principal.
Gesturing for Yusei and the other guys to follow her, Barbara said, "Well sirs, don't just stand there! I've got a tour to take you on!" After they all exchanged confused looks and indifferent shoulder shrugs, Yusei, Jack, Crow and Kalin all proceeded to follow Barbara so she could show them around the school.
"So, Barbara," Yusei began as he and the other guys followed Barbara, "You mentioned that you love working with tech. I can assume from that statement that you're a dab hand at working with computers?"
"Oh, defiantly," Barbara replied as she gave a quick nod in the affirmative, "In fact, if it weren't for me, not a single computer in this school would be functional."
"Because your principal is a cheap bastard who refuses to upgrade the computers in this school to models beyond systems made in the nineteen-eighties?" Jack asked.
Giving Jack a confused look, Barbara said, "Umm, no. Because a few weeks back, my friend Harley tried to fix Hal Jordan's desktop computer. When she tried to fix Hal's computer, Harley somehow managed to create and upload a computer virus that was able to spread to every last computer on campus. I was able to clean up Harley's mess in quick order, and even make all of the computers more resistant to viruses."
"…Why did your friend try to fix a computer when she is very clearly a walking tech-bane?" Jack asked, giving the teenaged superhero a confused look.
"She said that she wanted to be more like me," Barbara replied, "Granted, she should have just asked me to fix Hal's computer instead, but I still think it's rather sweet that she wanted to be like me."
"Hey Bat-see!" a cheerful and bubbly voice called out, then before anyone could react, another teenage girl came cartwheeling over. Coming out of her cartwheeling, the girl threw her arms around Barbara and drew her into a friendly hug. This new girl had long blonde hair that was up in two pigtails, one coming down each side of her head, with one having a red streak and the other having a blue streak. She wore a top with a red, white and black diamond pattern and black puffy short sleeves, blue shorts, one red stocking and one black stocking, white socks, blue shoes with gray soles, and a black eye mask over her face.
Looking over Barbara's shoulders and spotting Yusei and the other guys, the new girl said, "Hey Bat-see, who are these new guys?"
"These are the new teachers that Principal Waller brought in," Barbara explained. To Yusei and the guys, Barbara said, "Sirs, this is my friend Harley, who I was just telling you about."
"The name's Harley Quinn! Nice to meetcha, sirs!" Harley nearly exclaimed in happy excitement as she shook the guys' hands one by one, very nearly dislocating Kalin's right shoulder in the process.
"You seem like a nice kid, Harley," Crow remarked, "I can already tell that having you in the classroom will make things fun!"
"Great," Jack thought in a bemused tone as he watched Harley and Crow exchange laughs, "I think that we may have just found Birdbrain's illegitimate daughter." (7)
"So, girls, you two seem like good friends," Yusei began, "There wouldn't happen to be any more friends of yours that my friends and I should be made aware of, is there?"
As he saw Harley's eyes and smile widen while she gasped in an excited manner, Jack muttered, "Smooth move, Yusei."
Yusei, Jack, Crow and Kalin were soon, by courtesy of Barbara, introduced to five other girls that Barbara and Harley were friends with. "These are the other girls that Harley and I told you about," Barbara said to Yusei and the other guys as Wonder Woman, Bumblebee, Katana, Poison Ivy and Supergirl all stood side-by-side (8), "Going from left to right, their names are Diana, Karen, Tatsu, Pamela and Kara." Yusei, Jack, Crow and Kalin all just stood there, taking in all that they were learning in the sudden info dump. Trying to memorize five new names all at once is not all that easy.
"So, you guys are the new teachers?" Kara said as she walked up to Yusei and the other guys.
"Yeah, Blondie," Crow replied as he tried to pop his jacket collar (it didn't work), "We're here to show you and your other classmates how to do things New Domino City style."
"Excuse me?" Kara said in a mildly offended tone, "What did you call me?"
"I called you the High Queen-Duchess of Charleston Chews, but that's beside the point," Crow replied, "Now then, girls. Seeing as how this school looks like there's on-campus dorms where students live, is there a place where the boys and I can crash while we're here?"
"Yeah, Crow's got a point," Yusei said to the girls, "My friends and I need to settle in while we're teachers here."
Tatsu said something to Yusei and the other guys in Japanese, to which Harley said in a mild pouty tone, "I hate it when you do that to us, Katana! You know I don't understand you when you use that beautiful language of yours!"
To Tatsu, Yusei spoke something else in Japanese, then followed that up by giving Tatsu a thumbs-up. To the group as a whole, Yusei said, "Tatsu here said that she can show the guys and I to some available dorm rooms on the top floor of the dorm building. She says that the view you can see from the windows on the top floor is nothing short of breathtaking."
"The view from high up is pretty amazing," Kara remarked in a knowing tone, "Trust me."
That night, after the guys had settled in, they all went to bed, intent on starting their teaching jobs first thing in the morning. As they slept, Crow got up out of his bed while mumbling, "Goddamn themysciran cooking. That's the last fucking time I let miss perfect convince me into trying some cuisine from her homeland." Walking out of his dorm room and down the hall to a restroom, Crow mumbled in an annoyed tone, "It's like the fucking Amazons haven't even heard of-"
Crow stopped short when he heard someone fall over, followed by hushed, angry swearing. Mildly alarmed, Crow followed the direction that the noises came from while drawing his Sig Sauer 9MM from its holster on his right side. After turning a corner, Crow spotted what appeared to be a shadowy figure sneaking into the dorm room of one of the girls. His eyes widening just a bit, Crow quickly tip-toed over to the dorm room in question and walked in.
Five seconds later, a gunshot sounded from the dorm room, followed by the occupant turning on some lights while screaming in fright.
The following morning, the main seven girls, along with about twenty or so classmates, were standing outside at one of the practice ranges. Standing before them was Crow, who had a table outside a little bit off to his left; there was a sheet covering various items that were laying on the table. "Good morning, class," Crow greeted as he walked from left to right while holding his arms behind his back, "My name is Crow Hogan, and I am one of your new teachers."
"Hello, Mr. Hogan," the students all said in unison.
"Now class," Crow continued, "As I am certain that some of you may have heard by now, sometime during the night last night, a masked gunman snuck into one of the dorm buildings and into the room of your classmate Barbara. Luckily for your classmate, her amazon friend's cooking gave me a really bad case of the squirts, so I got up in the middle of the night to find the bathroom so I could take a shit, which is why I caught the gunman in the act and shot him dead before he could do the same to your friend."
"That man was a mere thug," Crow continued, "No superpowers or anything fancy like that." Crow then walked over to the table and pulled the sheet off, revealing that the sheet was covering a collection of various paintball guns. "All he had was a gun," Crow explained to the class as he gently stroked the paintball guns, "Not a paintball gun like one of these, but an actual gun that could have actually killed your classmate."
To the class, Crow said, "Using these paintball guns, I'm going to get you kids to learn how to handle guns so that, if you're ever stuck in a situation where your usual arsenal of gadgets and powers are out of commission, you can still fight back."
"Where are the paintball targets?" Pamela asked as she raised a hand. Looking around, she added, "I don't see any paintball targets."
"You kids are the targets," Crow said with a mischievous smirk. As he handed out the paintball guns, Crow said, "Class, for today's lesson, I want you to run around the field here while you all shoot at each other with the paintball guns that I have just provided you with."
"Fuck yeah!" Hal Jordan exclaimed at the top of his lungs, raising the paintball gun he was given up into the air. The rest of the class cheered in a likewise manner.
In another classroom during the next period, Yusei was standing in front of a chalkboard as he wrote his name on it. When he was done writing, Yusei turned around to face the class. "My name is Yusei Fudo," Yusei greeted the class, "And I will be your-" Yusei stopped short when he saw that a few of the students in his class were covered in paint.
Seeing that Kara was one of the paint-covered students in question, Yusei said, "Kara, why are you and some of your classmates covered in paint?"
"Mr. Hogan had everyone in his first period class run around one of the practice ranges while shooting at each other with paintball guns," Kara explained.
"…Seriously?" Yusei replied in a deadpan.
Kara said as she nodded a few times in the affirmative, "I was even told that Principal Waller not only greenlit the lesson plan personally, but expressed regret about not being able to take part in the lesson plan herself." Yusei could only sigh in a defeated tone as he shook his head.
In another class that took place later on, Kalin was in a science classroom. "According to the lesson plan that I was provided with, we're going to brush up on basic forensic skills," Kalin said as he picked up a clipboard from the teacher's desk in the classroom.
"Oh, oh, Mister Double-K," Harley said in her usual excited tone as she raised a hand, "When do we get to science?"
"Umm, according to one of the notes on the lesson plan, I was told that you lost your science privileges for the week, miss Quinn," Kalin replied in a tone that was three parts unsure and seven parts confused.
Slumping over the surface of her desk, Harley said in a pouty tone, "Aww fiddlesticks."
During lunch, Yusei and the other guys sat together to discuss how the day went for them so far. "I'm still concerned about the attempt on Barbara's life last night," Crow remarked after taking a swig from his to-go cup, "I mean, who would want her dead? The Joker? The Penguin? Pacifica Northwest?" (9)
"That last one makes no sense, Crow," Jack remarked right before eating a forkful of salad.
"Even so, I cannot overlook the fact that Barbara was nearly killed last night," Crow remarked.
"But we are apparently willing to overlook the fact that the new neighbor boy owns a deity," Kalin remarked before taking a sip from his drink.
"I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but Crow raises a valid point," Yusei said to the others, "One of the students was almost killed. Who's to say that there won't be another attempt on one of the student's-"
Yusei was cut off when the entirety of the school shook, as if an earthquake was taking place. "The hell was that?" Yusei said as he got up and ran outside, with Jack, Crow and Kalin following him. When the four guys got outside, they saw that a tall-and I do mean tall- mech was walking through the city.
"…How come I knew that some bad guy was going to attempt some crazy scheme while we were here?" Yusei asked rhetorically as six of the main seven girls came running up to Yusei and the other guys; only Barbara was missing.
"Lex Luthor just kidnapped Barbara!" Pamela exclaimed.
"We also discovered that the thug that Mr. Hogan killed last night was actually an employee on the LEXCORP payroll," Karen explained, "We think that Lex Luthor's behind everything!"
"Wait a minute," Jack interrupted, "I thought that Lex Luthor had a beef with Supergirl and her ilk. Why the fuck would he try to screw with Batgirl?"
"Barbara's dad, Commissioner Gordon, is the police officer leading an investigation against LEXCORP concerning allegations of tax evasion, workplace discrimination, and possession of child pornography," Diana explained, "Lex Luthor must be trying to send Barbara's dad a warning against trying to investigate further."
"That ass-fucking son of a shit-eating whore-bitch!" Kara exclaimed angrily at the top of her lungs, "I will tear his head off and shove it up his ass so hard that it comes out of the still-bleeding neck hole! Then I'll chuck his headless corpse into the sky so hard that it flies into the fucking sun!"
"…Jesus," Yusei remarked, "You really hate to see your friends in danger, don't you, Kara?"
"It's more than that, Mr. Fudo," Pamela explained in an understanding tone, "Kara and Barbara are besties. And if there's one thing that you ever learn about High Schools, it should be that you never mess with a girl's bestie."
"Especially if the girl is a bloody Kryptonian," Jack remarked in a mildly subdued tone of shock.
As he watched the giant mech walk through the city, Crow said, "Well, looks like I have to perform a summoning ritual."
"Summoning ritual?" Yusei, Jack and Kalin all said in unison.
Turing to face the girls, Crow said as he handed Harley a list, "Can you girls do me a solid and gather the items on this list?"
"Sure thing, mister H!" Harley replied as she gave Crow a salute right before she went off with the girls to gather the things that Crow requested.
A few minutes later, Yusei, Jack and Kalin watched as Crow had just finished drawing a circle on the ground with chalk; the circle was approximately the size of a large above-ground swimming pool. As Crow used the chalk to divide the circle up into five even wedges, Jack said, "What the bloody hell are you planning to summon, Birdbrain?"
"You'll see when I perform the ritual," Crow replied as he made the final line in the circle, making it look like a pie chart with five even wedges. Right when Crow did that, the six girls came over, with each girl other than Tatsu carrying something. Crow said as he pointed to the top-most wedge and going clockwise, "Diana, put the lump of dirt from a plane in that wedge. Kara, put the bowl of sand from an island in the wedge going clockwise from the lump of plane dirt. Karen, put the tub of swamp water in the next clockwise wedge. Harley, put the stone from a mountain in the next clockwise wedge. Pamela, put the shard of bark from a tree from a forest in the wedge between the plane dirt and the mountain rock."
Once all of the girls put their respective items in the wedges as they were told, Crow said as he raised his hands straight up into the air, "Now that the set-up is finished, I will now say the summoning chant." After inhaling and exhaling, Crow proceeded to sway from side to side while his hands were still raised as high as he could get them. As Crow did this, he said, "Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao!" (10)
As Yusei, Jack, Kalin and the girls watched this, Jack said, "The bloody fuck is Crow-" Jack was cut off when a crack in the fabric of space appeared in between two nearby buildings. The crack was forcefully widened from the other side as a towering creature of otherworldly origin came out from the crack and into the city. This creature roughly resembled a mushroom cap that had countless tentacles coming out from the bottom of said mushroom cap. The creature let out a loud cry that sounded like countless cats being strangled.
"AN ELDRAZI?!" Jack exclaimed angrily. Turning to face Crow, Jack shouted, "DID YOU JUST SUMMON A FUCKING ELDRAZI?!"
"Not just any eldrazi, but one of the three big-daddy eldrazi!" Crow said with a hint of pride in his tone. Gesturing to the creature he had just summoned, Crow said, "Boys and girls, say hello to Emrakul the Promised End!" Turning to face Emrakul, Crow shouted, "Hey Emrakul!"
Having heard someone shout its name, Emrakul turned to face the direction the shout came from. Seeing Crow in the circle, Emrakul let out another cry, showing that it was acknowledging Crow. Pointing to the giant mech that was walking through the city, Crow shouted, "You see that thing? Go kick its ass for us!" Understanding the order, Emrakul floated towards the mech, tapped it on the shoulder from behind, then proceeded to slap it repeatedly when it turned around.
When the mech turned around, Karen said as she pointed to the mech's chest area, "That thing had the LEXCORP insignia on it! Lex Luthor's behind the mech!"
"Lex must be using the mech as a diversion of some sort so he can get away with his plans involving Barbara," Pamela reasoned as she held a hand to her chin.
"Well the Eldritch Abomination that Crow has just summoned is taking care of the mech for us," Yusei said, "That leaves us with-" Yusei was cut off when the mech kicked at Emrakul and missed, kicking up a car that flew through the air and landing on top of Yusei, which resulted in Yusei being crushed to death. (11)
"Mr. Fudo's dead!" Harley exclaimed, "Goddamn it!"
"Relax, this happens to the four of us all the time," Jack replied in a dismissive tone, "We should be more focused on trying to stop Lex Luthor." As the fight continued to go on, a pod jettisoned from the mech when it looked like Emrakul had the upper hand in the fight.
"That looks like an escape pod!" Crow exclaimed as he pointed at the pod, "Someone must have been piloting the giant mech!"
"I'm on it!" Kara said as she flew quickly at the pod as it flew away. Luckily, Kara was faster, and she was able to catch the pod in quick order. Bringing it towards the ground, Kara punched a hole in the pod on the side of a door, then yanked the door off entirely, revealing Lex Luthor inside of the pod.
Giving the young Kryptonian girl a defiant glare, Lex said, "I'm not afraid of your cousin, nor am I afraid of you. Go ahead and do-" Lex was cut off when Kara grabbed him by the collar of his suit top.
Bringing Lex's face closer to hers, Kara said with an expression and tone that were both menacing, "You should be afraid." The Kryptonian girl's eyes began to glow a hot, fiery red, indicating that she was going to go full force with her laser eyes. As Lex Luthor shat his pants, Kara said, "I am giving you one chance. Where…is…Barbara?!"
Later, as police cleaned up the scene while some students from the school helped with handling the wrecked remains of the mech, Jack, Kalin and Crow stood with the seven main girls; in the time between Kara capturing Lex Luthor and the police all showing up, Barbara had been rescued (at some point between all of that, Emrakul returned to the realm from which it was summoned). Jack, Crow, Kalin and the seven girls were all being questioned by Amanda.
"Let me see if I got this straight," Amanda began, "C-Fly summoned Emrakul the Promised End to fight the giant LEXCORP mech, Mr. Fudo was crushed to death by a random car that was kicked up, Supergirl caught Lex Luthor as he tried to flee, and she got Batgirl's location out of Lex, right before she killed him." Looking around, Amanda asked, "Where's Luthor's body?"
"I threw it into the sun," Kara replied casually.
With an indifferent shrug, Amanda replied, "Meh, Luthor was getting to be a pain in my ass anyway. Good riddance."
"Well folks," Crow said as he put his fists on his hips, "I say all's well that ends well!" Everyone other than Jack, Kalin, Tatsu and Barbara proceeded to laugh; the non-laughing people just stood around with confused looks on their faces.
END, CHAPTER FIVE
Author's Notes:
1. Crow is never one to shy away from trying new cuisine.
2. Yes, Pokémon exist in the world of this story.
3. Yes. Yes, they are.
4. Going off of a picture I found on the internet; I'm guessing it's dark-blue.
5. B really is Amanda Waller's middle initial; it stands for Blake.
6. Thanks to Brianna, Crow also saw the movies. Not that he paid much attention, though.
