Chapter ? The Menace of Metallo; Mai(and Cassie's) Insane Mission Pt 1

In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Trunks and Gohan were going at it in terms of training and improving their power. At first Gohan was apprehensive because like his Universe 7 counterpart this was the first time he ever been in there. It was ironic when he thought about it, the hybrid had taught Trunks how to fight but now the student had become the teacher and it was him teaching Goku's son how to endure inside the chamber. At first Gohan struggled because the only comparable training he could compare it to was on Grand Kaio's planet but the chamber's climate changing on a dime signified how much different it was. After a few hours though Gohan got used to the climate changes that the chamber could've dished out and soon he and Trunks was going at it. "Try and sustain your super-saiyan 3 powers" Vegeta's son instructed Gohan; he complied and did everything to sustain that power.

He wanted to get it to a level of sustainability so that he(like Goku) could use that power without having to worry about the strain on his Ki. Trunks likewise followed suit by powering up to his maximum with the potential that Old Kai had unlocked months earlier. "How does this help us obtain divine energy" Gohan asked; "well you already had a taste when we did the ceremony" Trunks answered "now it's just a matter of you tapping into it". "What about the form your alternate self obtained" Gohan inquired; "I intend to get that but something has to seriously piss me off" Trunks answered darkly. He knew that his alternate self obtained it by anger and pain and Vegeta's son didn't want to experience the same so that he could obtain that new form. Gohan too secretly resolved to reach that form as well as they continued to train. On the outside world, several days passed while Trunks and Gohan trained inside the chamber. Outside, Piccolo was mediating by himself as Dende watched the chamber but they botn were thinking about what they were told by Trunks and Gohan when they had returned from Universe 7.

Flashback

Dende and Piccolo were wondering what had happened to Trunks and Kara given that Earth's current guardian said that the others had returned. Suddenly the air shimmed around them and when they saw it was Trunks, Dende exclaimed "you're back". "Where's Kara?" Piccolo asked seeing that Kara was not with him or Gohan "and why is she here?" Gohan answered "all that will be explained in time"; "does this have to do with Champa's tournament" Dende inquired. "Yes" Trunks replied before turning to Piccolo and saying "you were right about warning us before we left; did you know that the opposing team was the universe I saved?" "WHAT?!" the ex-guardian exclaimed in disbelief "guess you didn't" Gohan quipped; "what do you mean that your opponents was the universe you saved?" Dende asked Trunks. He replied "exactly like I said Dende, and furthermore Piccolo was also right about history being different over there...Goku being alive is the most significant example.

"Wait Goku's alive?" the shocked Ex-Guardian asked "how?"; "he was brought back because he wanted to fight in the WMAT tournament..which was organized by Videl" Gohan replied. "That's another thing" Trunks explained seeing the shock on the Namekian faces "in that universe, Videl blackmailed Gohan's alternative self to join the tournament because she threatened the exposure of his identity". "The Kid has a duel identity?" an amused Piccolo asked; "yea" Gohan softly answered "he called it the Great Saiyaman", "that timeline Videl never told her father about Gohan being Goku's son" Trunks went on to explain which lead Piccolo to quip "unlike what happened here". "The most shocking thing is that she..she and him married and had a daughter" Gohan painfully explained which drew a sharp gasp from Piccolo in a rare show of emotion for the stoic Namekian. "Wait..you're saying...that in that timeline..Pan's has both a mother and father?" Dende asked; "not only that but Hercule gave his blessings to the couple by building them a house and giving Goku a million Zeni for saving the world from Majin Buu" Trunks supplemented.

That was another shock "wait Majin Buu became active in that world?" Piccolo asked remembering all too well Master Jailer's revelation; "yes" Trunks answered "Shin-the Supreme Kaio of Universe 7- and his assistant entered the tournament with the intent to find Babadi's goons..which were not too long in finding because one of them named Spopovich beat the crap out of Videl. After that his cohort drained the energy from Gohan's alternate self...it was chaos after that. They fought Babadi's henchmen which included Dabura but in the process the alternate version of dad gave in to his mind control". "He destroyed the stadium and killed millions just so that he could get a rematch with dad" Gohan continued seeing that Trunks didn't like telling this part "during their fight Buu became active. Dabura and Kabito were the first to fall and Supreme Kaio and I would've followed; Vegeta also sacrificed himself". "All because of universe 6 and 7 being twins all of that changed?" Dende asked "yes and there's more" Trunks answered "you know of the fusion dance?(*they nodded their heads yes*) "well in that world, alternate kid me and Goku's second son learned it. Their fusion even achieved Super-Saiyan 3"."How?" a shocked Piccolo asked "you'll be happy to know that it was you who drilled them to become stronger as Super-Saiyans.." Gohan began to which a surprised Dende asked "wait they're already Super-Saiyans?!"

Trunks nodded yes and said "they fought Buu but he toyed with him resulting in him almost being killed until Gohan returned"; "but how did he recover?" Dende asked. "The alternate me was saved by Shin and Kabito who was revived with the Dragon Balls and brought to Supreme Kaio's dimension to release the Z sword..."; "just like I did" Trunks supplemented "he too got his potential unleashed but...still Buu tricked them..and in the end Goku had to be brought back by Old Kai and he along with Vegeta and Good Buu killed the evil one". "Wait what's the connection? How is Buu important to Champa's tournament?"; "he was one of Beerus' fighters until he fell asleep" Gohan replied "that was the second of many...odd things"."What was the first odd thing?" Piccolo asked "the original planet we came from still exists in this universe and there are saiyans there" came the blunt reply from Trunks which caused a loud "WHAT?!" by Dende "the ORIGINAL PLANET of the Saiyans".

"Sadal" Trunks explained "it wasn't destroyed by infighting and they fight for justice instead of power. However they don't have tails and didn't know anything about the Super-Saiyan forms until Goku fought John..". "Wait Goku fought John?" Dende asked; "yes and he dominated as a mere Super-Saiyan" Trunks answered "it took all I got just to keep up with him and Goku dominating him as a mere Super-Saiyan..something wasn't right". "We didn't know how they could've gotten more powerful until Vegeta and Kyabe faced off" Gohan went on "after he taught Kyabe how to go super..." "Wait VEGETA actually taught someone?!" a shocked Piccolo inquired "he changed a lot" Trunks explained before turning grim "but then...he..showed Kyabe something greater than Super-Saiyan". "Divine energy in the form of Super-Saiyan Blue" Gohan supplemented; "that cannot be" Dende mumbled which caused Alice to break her silence by saying "you knew about the God forms and didn't tell my dad about it? Why?"

Piccolo snapped "because that kind of power would've thrown this entire dimension out of balance!" to Alice. "When your father accessed a portion of it battling Kara we sealed it away because we rationalized that this dimension wasn't ready for it" Dende explained in a much calmer tone then the ex-guardian which caused him to inquire "which begs the question how the hell did he reacess that power?" Gohan replied by saying "all of us plus Alice joined together in the Super-Saiyan God ritural" which caused Piccolo to ask "couldn't you have used Kyabe and avoid the questioning by Goku?" "Whis said that he was ineligible because he came from a different universe" Gohan explained; "not that it did any good. The truth eventually came out anyway when my..alternate self came" Trunks grumbled. "Wait your alternate self?" Piccolo asked not liking the sound of this; "yes" Trunks answered "he came begging for help. His timeline which I guess is my former timeline had gone to hell again and mom..".

"What happened to your mother in that universe?" a now concerned Dende asked; "she..she was killed" Trunks answered in a trembling voice "by a man she called Black" Gohan supplemented "when he came, we were shocked. Not only did he look like Dad but he also knew about Kara's heritage". "How?" Piccolo asked "that's not possible"; "that's what we wanted to know so we investigated" Trunks answered(after regaining himself emotionally). "Our search led us to Zamasu a Supreme Kaio apprentice from Universe 10..."; "wait Universe 10?" Dende repeated. "Yes that's one of the remaining universes though the number used to be 18.." Trunks explained which led to Piccolo asking "what happened to the other universes"."A child-like character called Zeno destroyed them-he's above everyone in the universe; even the Gods and the Supreme Kais fear him" Gohan bluntly stated to which Trunks quipped "given the fear on their faces I don't blame them for being scared". The Namekians were stunned by this revelation but Trunks wasn't finished "Goku being Goku challenged Zamasu to a spar and after he lost Kara had some choice words to him..what we didn't know was that he was harboring a hate for every mortal being and his loss to Goku as well as Kara's words brought it into the open".

"What happened next.."Gohan growled "he became obsessed with both dad and Kara and when he found out about the Super Dragon Balls he used them to give him dad's body"; "you mean like Ginyu did" a fearful Dende asked remembering all too well the battle on Namek. "Worse he mastered Goku's techniques and gained a God like form of his own" Gohan stated "but before he did that he..killed that timeline's version of mom and Goten". "No" a horrified Piccolo gasped "that's not all" Trunks growled "he also killed Gowasu and used his time-ring"; "what's a time-ring?" Dende asked "simply put they're devices created to go to the past. They were in Gowasu's possession so he used that to go to the past after killing him" Gohan explained. "But how does this relate to Kara and why she(*points to Alice*) is here?" Piccolo asked, "using the time ring Black as he is now called went back and recruited Gowasu after killing him. They then used the Super Dragon Balls a second time to wish for immortality for Zamasu. When he overwhelmed dad with his..version of Super-Saiyan Blue Zamasu and 3 other figures appeared".

"Who were they?" Piccolo asked "Bianca an apprentice of Selena who herself was an enemy of Supergirl" Trunks answered "that's impossible" Dende muttered "Kara never battled a witch named Selena here". "Exactly" Gohan said "but not only that..the other figure was a version of Superman that didn't even know Kara existed on Earth as either her human or super-hero identity" Trunks growled; "no..no way" Piccolo muttered no completely in shock "how is this possible?" Dende asked. "Well" Alice said picking up the explanation "we found out Black used his time ring to...recruit them to satisfy his obsession with Kara..including a version of Superman that not only didn't know of Kara but also was responsible for murdering General Zod". "That certainly didn't happen here" Dende mused "irregardless it prompted that version of the Dark Night's feud with him an event which also didn't happen here. What we didn't know is that Luthor was behind this" Trunks growled. "Luthor?" Piccolo asked "as in Lex Luthor"; "is there any other Luthors we know of?" Vegeta's son dryly asked. "Luthor influenced those two to fight but as always he had a back-up plan" Gohan snarled; "what was that?" Dende asked worriedly. "He experimented on Zod's dead body in violation of Kryptonian law to create..a God-lite monster of his own he called Doomsday" spat Trunks to which Alice added "he beat Kara senselessly but what we didn't expect was 2 alternate versions of Supergirl showing up as well". "Wait 2 alternate versions of Supergirl?" Dende repeated making sure he heard that correctly "yes" Trunks answered "but we didn't find out who they were until we got back". "Who were they?" Piccolo asked "Eliza and Indigo" Trunks answered "no..no way" Dende stammered in disbelief "how".

"Eliza showed us an old tattered uniform and blond wig which we immediately matched up with the first Supergirl" Alice explained "which means that she was once her" Trunks supplemented. "What about Indigo?" Dende asked "how was she Supergirl?"; "Gowasu informed Zamasu of Super-Saiyan Blue thanks to an innovation called Godtube" Gohan explained "and Bulma being curious she decided to do an investigation of her own regarding the second Supergirl". "Mom found out that Indigo was Supergirl because Godtube had a clip of her being a TV show called Smallville. Back in the day Indigo was Supergirl" Trunks explained which lead to Dende asked "but how did they get to your alternate self's timeline?". "The engagement ring I gave Kara is a replica of Clark's one in the Fortress and I think that functioned as a time ring bringing those versions of Supergirl there" Trunks answerd "which leads to where we are now. The alternate version of mom needs time to refuel the time machine and we all are training to get stronger".

"What are you saying Trunks?" Dende asked "only this. Kara is staying with me and Gohan in Universe 7 when we eventually return" he replied; "and Alice?" Piccolo asked. "She will become both Kara and Supergirl to the human world" the hybrid told him and before he could protest Trunks IT'ed himself and her away to Kara's apartment leaving Gohan behind to try and explain his reasoning behind that decision. END FLASHBACK It took a lot of convincing on Gohan's part to explain Trunks's reasoning; "no one(outside of the immediate group) even knew that Universe 7 was the time-line Trunks saved and no one of Kara's friends knows of the events in their universe that occurred after the Cell Games" he argued "as long as CADMUS(or anyone else for that matter) is in the dark about Dad's recent revival, he(and Vegeta) gaining Deity-lite status-thanks to Super-Saiyan Blue, and the knowledge that no one knows Planet Sadal hasn't been destroyed then there's nothing to worry about". Piccolo conceded to his former student's argument but privately the Namekian wasn't convinced; he feared what would happen should something expose Alice as both Kara and Supergirl and the moment that happened everything would come apart and even Alice's secret of being Kara's daughter(which he and Dende had been faithfully keeping) would be exposed. For now though, the Ex-Guardian of Earth would support this decision because he knew that National City still needed both Supergirl and Kara.

If Piccolo's worry was a test on Alice's part then she was passing with flying colors; "I hope to God she shows up" the firefighter uttered in prayer hoping that Supergirl would show; incidentally this was the same firefighter that was there the day Kara was exposed to Red K. When he saw Superman alongside the female he quipped "even better"; 'Kara'(as Alice) and Clark flew to the scene of the fire and she asked him "do you want to do the honors?" Krypton's last son replied "eh I got to look cool last time" which indicated that he wanted 'Kara' to have a turn. Then he told 'her' "I'll handle the cloud you give them what they need"; Alice used Kara's freeze breath powers(while at the same time marveling at how proficient she was in using it) to change the atmosphere while Superman used super-speed to whip clouds together. The result of both was rain which extinguished the fires and relishing in the cheers of the crowd(because of her Saiyan DNA) Alice asked "does this ever get old?" to Clark as 'Kara' with a giggle. "If it does I'll let you know" he answered before hearing a siren go off thanks to Super-Hearing. "That's our cue" Clark said to 'her' and they took off again(Alice knew what he really was saying was that there was another situation where their help was needed).

The situation was a robbery and when the robber's cohort showed up in his car he ordered the driver "MOVE MOVE" knowing that the authorities were going to be called. They didn't expect to be stopped; "what's the hurry" asked 'Supergirl' in a somewhat cocky tone after stopping them(as Alice let her 'inner saiyan' speak through Kara). The robbers panicked and tried to reverse but was stopped by Superman on the other end who sheepishly told the robbers "oh..uh I'm with her"(indicating his 'niece'). "Uh I think I may have scratched your bumper here" Clark joked to the robbers who opened fire on both him and 'Kara' with their gunfire. Seeing that the gunfire wasn't affecting either of them, one of the robbers tried to punch the Man of Steel on the shoulder but he only ending up breaking his hand. "See now if the bullets don't work right? Why the punching?" Superman rhetorically asked the robber who tried to hurt him(after hoisting him to his chest) pointing out his stupidity. Then emulating Marvel's merchant with a mouth(i.e. self-awareness) Superman said "never understood that" after a simple knockout. Alice on the other hand just threw a kick at the would-be robber which knocked him out before skipping over to Krypton's last son and squealing "I'm having a really good day" and it was true.

Not only was it too easy but Alice was genually enjoying having Superman with her because it made her work(as Kara) that much easier. Plus Alice also enjoyed re-connecting with him and of course she also enjoyed beating the crap out of hapless robbers-a trait passed down to the hybrid from Vegeta(although he was destroying lives under Frieza, whereas Alice was saving lives as Supergirl). Superman felt the same way and said "me to" to his 'niece' when John's voice fumingly came in her ear piece saying "when you two are done showboating, there's a renegade cregorian in Renoside Park". "We're on it Hank" came the voice of 'Kara' indicating that 'she' and Superman got it covered before they took off. "We're on it" the DEO head silently fumed which caused Winn to quip "grumpy" and Pan to mutter "and jealous". "Eyes on the keys" John ordered not wanting to discuss his ongoing feud with Superman; "sir yes sir" Winn saluted in response "our bad" Bulla meekly apologized.

Pan however wouldn't be dissuaded and pressed John by saying "look just because she is spending some quality time with Superman doesn't mean you have to be such an ass to him". Alex jumped on top of Pan's comment by pointing out "you promised Kara that you be nicer when cousin was around" to which John retorted "I said I would try". "Well try harder dammit" Pan cursed John to which her boyfriend quoted "do or do not there is no try". Irradiated by yet another Star Wars reference John asked the IT pro "exactly how badly did you want this job Mr. Shott?"; "he'll be leaving town sure I'm sure" Alex said(which saved Winn from explaining) "so until then.."('Kara's' voice over the earpiece(gleeful tone) "who-hoo!" followed by laughter). "I'll be in the armory shooting of something" John said to Alex to which Winn dryly commented "that sounds relaxing"; "Manhunter's definitely emulating Dad whenever he's angry about something" Bulla sadly sighed to which Pan muttered "which is like all the time".

While one John went to the armory to cool off his anger, another John was experiencing something else entirely. The mysterious lady told him "time to wake up Mr. Corbin" before giving a nod to another associate who fired a gun at him. He cried out in pain before groaning "I feel strange"; "I can only imagine" the woman said understanding exactly what the assassin was going through. Corbin then broke the shackles like it was nothing and disabled the device; "I'm calling security" the cohort fearfully told the lady unnerved by what he just witnessed. "We don't need the men with guns down here do we John?" she asked him; but Corbin wanted answers and harshly asked "how did I do that?" The woman grabbed a pair of glasses and replied "let me give you a little context. Kryptonians tried to kill you; we salvaged you and modified you and resurrected you".

John then asked the woman "and who are you?"; she replied "merely a doctor. I'm a member of an organization called CADMUS..and you".(*the doctor continued*).."you were what we've been waiting for Mr. Corbin". The associate who shot John doubtfully told the doctor "I don't believe he's ready"; "is that true John? Are you not ready to become the man who saved the world from an alien menace?" she asked the assassin before touching his chest which to his shock glowed green. "What did you do to me?" Corbin fearfully asked the doctor; "I've given you a gift" she answered "I've given you life with the very thing that will bring your enemies death. I've given you a second chance..I've given you a cause"(dialog with addition from Supergirl Season 2 episode 2 "Last Children of Krypton").

In universe 7, Bulma had finally refueled the time machine and was thinking about the battle that laid in the future; 'hold on Trunks' she thought, I'm sure Vegeta and Goku will defeat them'(meaning Black and Zamasu). Similarly, Future Bulma thought the same as she finished refueling Alice's time machine, only she thought 'hold on Mira and Cassie; I know Kara, Trunks and Gohan are going to beat them!' As Roshi was creating the pot Goku needed to seal away Zamasu for good, Kara decided to get stronger the only way she knew how; solar intake. Quietly sneaking off, the Kryptonian flew above Earth's atmosphere and began to absorb sun light. "I can't train and become stronger the same way Gohan my fiance and Vegeta can and I certainly can't learn the Mafuba like Goku" Kara mused before plunging into the Sun's core then resolved "I have to beat them. Not only because Trunks is counting on me but the alternate version of my cousin in spite of all that is different between him and I".

Speaking of which, Dende and Mr. Popo was watching the Universe 7 counterpart of the Time Chamber when suddenly Vegeta came out but he didn't do it in the 'traditional' way; he busted out of the entire chamber with his sheer power. Dende was shocked, Super Buu and Gotenks(as a Super-Saiyan 3) merely escaped the chamber with their shout, but Vegeta..he busted it in his BASE FORM. "V..Vegeta" was the only thing Earth's guardian could say regarding the Saiyan Prince's incredible power before he wordlessly blasted off. At last Roshi finished the pot and gave it to his student; "thanks a lot Master Roshi" a grateful Goku said to the turtle hermit/pervert. "Go show the future world the strength of Kami Style!"(Dragon Ball Super episode 63 "Don't Defy Saiyan Blood! Vegeta's Heroic Battle Begins!") he told the Saiyan who chuckled and said "well I'm off" and instant transmitted back to Capsule Corps.

Meanwhile in the future counterpart of Universe 7, Jan finally brought Lois to the hideout; "what is this place" the ever so curious reporter asked aloud. "This is where we are hiding" son of Fred and Sylvia(who was brought to that timeline thanks to the time ring); "hiding? From what?" Clark's girlfriend asked. "It's a long story involving him" came the voice of the recovered Cassie Stanwick pointing to Mirai's unconscious and bandaged body while at the same time not telling Lois anything about the dimension she found herself in 'since' Cassie figured 'Lois doesn't know a thing about Black, time travel, Saiyans, Supreme Kaioshins, Destroyer deities and most importantly Supergirl'. It didn't matter anyway because the sight of Blue Haired Trunks' bandaged body made Lois gag(as she recalled all too well what happened to Clark on the Black Zero) before she asked "what..what happened to him".

"He got hurt real bad fighting that..murderer" Jan answered holding back a curse word; "how long has he been like this?" the reporter asked. "Honestly with all the crap that we've been going through I've honestly lost count" Cassie sadly sighed when Future Mai came in and seeing her Lois asked "who's she?" Haru proudly replied "our protector";"her name is Mai and she took orphans like Haru and Maki in after Black slaughtered their families" Jan explained struggling to hold back his anger as he thought of what the body stealer did. Lois gasped in horror as the only thing she could compare that too was Zod threatening to incinerate a family before her now boyfriend was forced to kill him.

"Trunks here's a senzu bean" Mai said "eat up"; "hey what did you give him?" Lois inquired from the resistance leader. "Basically it's medicine that can heal a person from any injury" Cassie replied before beginning to walk out with Mai(as Lois thought 'if we had that, Clark wouldn't have been at Zod's mercy). However seeing the both of them leaving she asked "hey where are you going?"; "to kill Black. I'll show him the consequences of defying the Gods" Cassie replied in a cold voice(the warrior knew because Mai told her where Black was as she cleaned up Cassie's armor). The reporter thought they were completely crazy 'then again' she thought 'I've seen crazier'(remembering how she was saved from being killed by the Sentry on Clark's alien ship when he used his heat vision to cauterize the wound it gave her). In the end curiosity won over reasoning, and Lois decided to follow them(dialog with addition from Dragon Ball Super episode 63 "Don't you Disgrace Saiyan Cells! Vegeta's fierce battle begins!").

They were similar amounts of worry regarding where Alice was; "I think we should take out the Cregorian on our own" Bulla had told Alex after efforts by both she and Vegeta to contact her mentally failed(Alice simply blocked it). The DEO Agent sighed and gathered other agents to do just that even telling them "lets go" when she heard a woosh. "Supergirl we haven't heard from you, we were just about to leave to catch the Cregori"; "oh we just shoved that little guy in containment" Superman told Alex in a very non-nonchalant tone to which 'Kara' said "yea" in agreement. "You had us worried Kara!" Bulla exclaimed exasperated that her niece would do something like this but Alex simply told the other agents "stand down guys" seeing as they were about to do something drastic. "I'm sorry" came the apology from 'Kara' -though the tone she used suggested that it wasn't sincere- before squealing "Team Krypton was having hashtag too much fun! I mean I've always loved being Supergirl but today..". "Next time it would be nice if you followed protocol and alerted us that an alien combative was no longer a threat" John said cutting 'Kara' off in a reprimanding tone before reminding 'her' "you're cousin may not work for the DEO but you still do". "Sorry" 'Kara' apologized this time being sincere "we were just having..";"hashtag too much fan we know" John fumed to which Bulla said "alright no need to stick the knife in again".

Just then the lights went off "uh energy drain coming from the holding area..again" came the voice of Winn which caused Vegeta to fume "this alien is seriously pissing me off. Every-time the power goes out I lose out on precious training!" "Calm down grandpa" Alice mentally communicated to the Saiyan prince before asking "Winn how long has this been going on?" as Kara. "It started happening last night" he replied; "all resources at the DEO suddenly diverted to him" Alex explained. "You're exposing him to Kryptonite?" Superman asked John "he's a survivor not a prisoner"; "it's a precaution" Mars Last son said defensively "we don't know anything about him". "He's right Superman" Pan sighed, she didn't like it but it was for their own good until they figured out what their alien friend was.

The lights came on and Winn exclaimed "woah power is back on at 100%" to which Alex pointed out "his vitals jumped again. It's at the same rate as the power drain". "He's repairing himself at a cellular level?" Superman inquired, Alex confirmed the answer as yes by saying "it's like photosynthesis. He's absorbing the electrical energy and converting them into chemical energy". "Great" Vegeta moaned knowing what this meant "an accelerated healing factor"; "you should test his levels again now that he's...". "We've got this Superman" John calmly said cutting Krypton's last statement short; "I'm sure you do" he tersely said with a slight scoff before softly telling 'Kara' "I should go".

"I know the two of you aren't the best of friends but you promised you'd be nice to him while he's here" fumed 'Kara' to the boss to which Winn pointed out "actually he said he would try". "How..how is it hard to be nice to Superman? He's Superman!" came the comeback to John from 'Kara'; "if it means that much to you we will get along" he said before walking away. "Thank you" 'Kara' said with a sigh after which Alex asked "we still on for sister night?(*reminding her*) Veep and training?" "Yep of course" came the answer(as Pan was the one who informed Alice of what Kara was originally planning for sister night) then remembered something and asked "do you know it's Clark's favorite show too?" A surprised Alex asked "is Clark coming for sister night?"; "yeah" came the answer from 'Kara' before 'she' pointed out "he is in town and he's family". "The more the merrier" said Alex seemingly in acceptance(even though Alice didn't ask her if Clark could come to sister night) but for her sake she wouldn't say anything. Vegeta however wasn't fooled and thought 'something tells me that John is not the only one mad because my granddaughter is spending so much time with the Kryptonian as my son's mate'.

When 'Kara' got back to work, Clark decided to join 'her'. "First day as a reporter which is five times more exciting than buying school supplies" an excited 'Kara' was saying to Clark before adding "which look I did that". "I see that" he bantered back; "I got a reporter pad for taking reporting notes" Alice squealed; then what was happening truly hit the hybrid and she uttered "I'm a reporter now" as Kara. Clark saw the tell-tale signs of anxiety and said "Kara Kara"(*Alice stops*)"you're going to do great". "I hope so" came the nervous reply "I really don't want to disappoint.."; "Kara" came the voice of Cat ending the 'everyone' part 'she' was going to say to Clark. "Do you think I could trouble you for a minute?" the most powerful woman in National City asked; Alice figured it must've been big if Cat was using the correct pronunciation Kara's name(as Cat used called her Kee-rah) and seeing that 'she' was nervous Clark uttered a "good luck".

Cat gave a flirtatious wag of her fingers and watched Clark walk away; "oh watching Clark Kent walk away is like transcendental mediation. All of your worries, all of your concerns in life they just(*sighs*) fall away" she cooed. "That's..glad to hear it" was the only thing 'Kara' could say in response; Alice used all of her restraint not to reprimand Cat on her thoughts of potentially jumping Clark and during her love-induced confession, the hybrid repeadily thought 'Dende if you're hearing this please kill her'. "Kara I would like to introduce you to your new boss" Cat informally said; "really that's wonderful cause when they get here I'm ready for action". "I like your view Cat very clear" came a male's voice to which she bantered "I'm sure that's the first and last time you will complement my view on anything". "Snapper Carr meet Kara Danvers"; "hi sir" 'she' said extending her hand to shake but he didn't as Cat continued "Snapper will be running the investigative team at Catco magazines. He is one of the best journalists I've ever known and he has the apparel to match-shabby not so sheek.

"Mr. Carr its an honor to meet you; I've read your series on corruption in the mayor's office..it won the Pulitzer" Alice gushed as she knew who he was thanks to Kara's memories; "Kara will be your new stringer, teach her well" Cat instructed. "I am so excited to get started; I will work on this harder than I worked on any..(*Snapper walks away*) anything else ever before..did that go well?" asked 'Kara' seeing that she was being snubbed. "Uh yes..yes he really liked you" came the answer from Cat though it was somewhat disingenuous before ordering her "now run along".

The whole day was like this in fact; Snapper saying absolutely nothing to his new stringer. Alice just chalked it off to him having a bad day so she decided not to worry about it. In any case, Clark was coming to sister night and Trunks daughter was looking forward to it. " So does Clark like red or white?" Alex inquired wanting to know what type of wine Clark preferred. "Oh none for him" came the answer before hearing the door knock(indicating he had arrived). 'Kara' then went on to explain "alcohol doesn't affect Kryptonians but he still won't drink and fly he's a big big nerd" before opening the door and saying "perfect timing"(while at the same time making a subtle dig at how Clark was late in arriving to help during the whole L Corp renaming ceremony). "Hey Clark" Alex greeted; "hey Alex" he greeted back before asking "um could you give Kara and a me a moment together?"

She replied with an "of course"; "thanks" then turning to 'Kara' and saying "listen um..there's something we need to discuss". "It's okay; you're going back to Metropolis" said 'Kara' in understanding. "Yea" he confirmed "it's time"; "yep" was the only thing 'she' could say although Alice really didn't want Clark to go. She had gotten used to his presence and with her father leaving to go back to fight in his alternate self's timeline, Alice needed another source of stability. She communicated that need to him by saying "I just..I thought you'd stay for a couple days longer"; "and I would love to" Clark stated understanding that desire "but I got to get back to Lois, and to the planet and..Metropolis needs its hero too". "I understand" Alice said the 'Kara' mask coming right back on; 'besides' she thought 'I don't think I could live with myself if Lois, and Metropolis gets hurt in his absence simply because I as Kara want him here with me and truth is he could never take dad's place'. A news bulletin of "head shelf-er on the National City bridge; emergency personal is in route. A bridge closure is in effect".

"One last team-up?" asked 'Kara' to Clark and he chuckled indicating a 'yes' to Alice. They flew to the bridge where they saw a man hanging off it; "sir, sir you don't want to do this" the 'Girl of Steel' said to him. The man turned around causing 'Kara' to mutter "Corbin" in recognition and a 'how the hell is he still alive? Lena shot him!' thought from Alice. The answer came when he burned through his shirt revealing Kryptonite before shooting a beam at Superman(crippling him) before saying "no; Metallo" to 'Kara'. Metallo(as he now called himself) shot off another Kryptonite beam at Clark causing him to scream in pain and getting mad, Alice threw a punch at the villain but instead of him being hurt he absorbed it like it was nothing. 'No Way!' Alice thought before Corbin backhanded her causing her to cry out in pain. 'That hurt' the hybrid thought to herself 'that actually hurt' as Corbin once again advanced to Superman and began to punch him in the face before grabbing him and giving him direct exposure to Kryptonite.

Alice recovered from Metallo's blow and shot Kara's heat vision at him thinking it would incinerate him but to her shock, his hand blocked the attack(although it did manage to burn the villain's skin). He then shot another Kryptonite beam but Alice evaded the attack and ducked behind a car. She then began to push the car towards Corbin(as he shot off more Kryptonite beams). Finally he decided to downright stop the car entirely which caused Alice to realize that Corbin received more than a cosmetic change; he gained super-strength too. Infuriated she stood atop of a car and Metallo used this as an opportunity to give her a direct strike which caused 'Kara' to fall to the ground crippled by it's effect. 'Dad...please...help me' a weakened Alice mentally called out as Corbin sneered "I was shot in the back; at least you'll see your death coming" to 'Kara' as he prepared the kill shot when a revitalized(and pissed off) Superman shoved him away his screams the last thing being heard. "Kara" he muttered before he picked 'her' up and flying off(dialog with addition from Supergirl Season 2 episode 2 "Last Children of Krypton").

"Alice" Trunks shouted in the chamber after hearing his daughter's cry of distress; "what happened to Alice?" Gohan asked his student; Goku's son was sparring with him when Trunks suddenly shouted his daughter's name. "She's hurt" a panicked Trunks answered "someone's hurt her and she needs me NOW!"; "Trunks wait!" Gohan called "our time is not up yet; we can't leave until our year is up!" The son of Vegeta didn't hear Gohan for he was reminded too much of the injuries Alice had suffered in Mirai's timeline and how helpless Trunks was in failing to protect her due to being overwhelmed by the sheer power of Black and his allies.

'No' he silently resolved 'I won't allow that to happen again in our dimension' and began to power increase in Trunks' strength as well as his anger at the person who hurt Alice destroyed the chamber (just like the alternate version of his dad did). "Trunks!" Piccolo exclaimed seeing his pissed off state, the ruined time-chamber and wondering what had happened. "Heal me Dende; my daughter is hurt and she needs me" Trunks said. Earth's guardian complied and healed the hybrid back to full power and after being healed he concentrated on Alice's fading energy signal and Instant Transmitted away. "How did Alice get hurt?" Piccolo asked Gohan; "I don't know but I do know that whoever did it to her will be sorry" he darkly answered. Trunks arrived to find Superman flying with his daughter; "who did this to her?" Trunks asked him seething at the site of her unconscious body.

Clark was taken off guard by the site of the pissed of half-saiyan but said "Corbin" in reply. "I thought he was dead" Trunks stated remembering Lena shooting him "so how did he hurt Kara?" "Apparently" came the answer "someone got a hold of him and...gave him an upgrade; he now calls himself Metallo. As to how he hurt Kara, he used Kryptonite". That pushed Trunks' anger over the edge and he growled "I...won't..let..him..get away..with THIS...GRR". Lightening suddenly began to crackle in the clear night sky and the waters of National City began to swell as Trunks continued to growl "I..won't"; he then let out a loud "AHHH!"(Dragon Ball Z episode 95 "Transformed at Last") Superman was amazed(and somewhat horrified) at the change; Trunks turned Super-Saiyan but his aura was now blue. The hybrid was so mad, that he didn't notice that he had involuntarily transformed into Super-Saiyan Rage the same form Mirai had achieved. "Mark my words Kal-El mark them well; Metallo's going to suffer for what he's done"(dialog with change from Dragon Ball Super episode 7 "How Dare You Do That To My Bulma! Vegeta's Metamorphosis of Fury?)" the now Super-Saiyan Rage Trunks angrily vowed to the Man of Steel. He whispered "what power; he must be really mad if he called me by my birth name" before Trunks calmed down and engulf 'Kara' with a Ki blast which successfully revived her.

"Wha what happened?" a woozy 'Kara' asked then seeing the site of the demi-saiyan 'she' asked "Trunks?" He acknowledged his name being called and told 'Kara' "you'll be okay but we need to get back to the DEO". Then turning to Superman Trunks said "you and Kara grab on to my shoulder"; Krypton's last son complied and when he did, the demi-saiyan transported them outside the new DEO headquarters using IT. Superman and Trunks still had to fly a still somewhat woozy 'Kryptonian' inside due to the injuries Metallo had inflicted; "Kara!" Alex exclaimed seeing 'her' injured stated. "Are you okay?" a panicked Bulla asked 'Kara'; "what happened to you?" Pan inquired in an equally concerned tone. 'Kara' answered by saying "I'm fine; I'm just a little dizzy"; "as for what happened she was attacked and overpowered". "But how?" Bulla asked; Superman said "you told me that only the DEO had access to Kryptonite, so how do you explain what just happened out there?" to John. When the last Son of Mars didn't answer, he answered Bulla's question by saying "a Kryptonite charged Cyborg almost killed Kara. Almost killed me!"

"Who? Who did this?" Vegeta simmered angrily; "Corbin although he goes by Metallo now" Trunks answered before turning to Manhunter and angrily growled "what I'd like to know is how the hell he got a hold of Kryptonite". "Start talking John!" Superman angrily demanded; "a shipment went missing 4 months ago. We've done all we can to find it" came the answer from him causing 'Kara' to repeat "4 months ago?" in question and a "went missing" from Superman. "Stolen" came the correction from Alex; "who stole it?" asked Trunks, "at first we taught it was an inside job but everyone on the transport came clean" the DEO agent explained which caused Superman to realize "so you have a mole" in question. "We don't know that" said John not wanting to jump to conclusions; "sounds like a mole to me" Vegeta scoffed irately "if you ask me, all of this crap could've been prevented if all the Kryptonite had been destroyed". Superman jumped on Vegeta's statement by saying(to John) "if you have gotten rid of it when I told you"; "we would've been helpless when Non and Astra launched Myriad" he rebutted before adding "or have you forgotten it was a force even the Man of Steel couldn't defeat?" in question to him.

That last remark caused Superman to give John a violent shove which caused Winn to quip "oh Superman and Martian Manhunter are going to fight this is terrible(*changes his mind*) This is awesome". "Winn please!" Pan pleaded in a reprimanding tone, "the last thing we need now is for those two to start trading blows" recalling-thanks to Alice- that it was a feud like this that caused the alternate version of Superman and Gotham's Dark Knight to come to blows. "We have given our lives to protect the people of Earth, if you cared about Kara at all..." Superman growled which caused John to grab his hand and hiss "watch what you say" in warning. "Or what?" Krypton's last son angrily asked in a challenging tone and just when it seemed like they were going to come to blows, the TV monitors at the DEO came on.

"People of National City, the Earth has been stolen from us and the enemy has come in the guise of heroes" came a distorted voice before images of Supergirl and Trunks came on the screen causing Vegeta to exclaim "what the hell is this?" The Demi-Saiyan seethed as he watched footage of the damage Kara had caused during the battle with Astra and while she was under the influence of Red K as the voice continued "they say they come in peace to protect us from ourselves. But how long will it be before these Gods decide to rule instead of serve?"(it asked). "We are the antidote to their poisoning; we are the scientists who will show what humans are capable of. Those who side with the invaders will not be spared; you cannot stop us, we are everywhere" the voice continued before it declared "we are CADMUS". "CADMUS" Superman repeated after the broadcast to which Winn added "announcing themselves to the world" and John finished by saying "declaring open war". Alice knew what this meant and said "they want to kill us; all of us" as Kara to which Trunks snarled "it wouldn't surprise me if they were the ones that gave Corbin his..upgrade"(*vowing*)"I'll make them pay for what they did".

Bulla then said "um I hate to say this but I think we're forgetting something very important"; "what?" Trunks asked to which Alex reminded "CADMUS has my father. If they turned John Corbin into Metallo what do you think they've done with him?" Vegeta spoke up to calm his raging son by stating "I hate to say it but she's right; for all we know they've probably tortured or worse brainwashed him for information". Wanting to calm Alex's worry(because Vegeta's intuition was usually spot on), 'Kara' said "we'll find him"; "and stop them" Superman vowed. "How?" came the question from Winn to which Trunks added "we don't know anything about who CADMUS' leaders are and all of your punches and Kryptonian based abilities didn't even make him flinch!" Superman analytically replied "Metallo isn't just flesh and blood anymore; Cadmus has given him a metal exoskeleton and traces of the alloy adentium when I hit him". "That explains why everything you threw at that Kryptonian android didn't work" Vegeta said silently impressed by Superman's intelligence.

John carefully pondered the explanation before he offered a proposal by saying "I can analyze it at the Fortress of Solitude". "Agent Shott get Non and Astra's anti-kryptonite technology out of storage, see if you can improve upon it for our two friends here" Manhunter ordered Winn(to which Alice thought 'never thought we'd be using this again). He excitedly(yet fearfully) stammered "I...I get to make Superman's new suit?" in question to which the said Kryptonian quipped "no pressure"; "don't worry" Pan whispered in his ear "I'll help you". "I'll go and inform some..friends about what happened" Trunks said referring to Gohan, Piccolo and Dende "they need to know who it was that hurt Kara and Superman"; "when we come up with a plan of action, we'll let you know" Bulla promised to which the demi-saiyan nodded and instant transmitted away. John waited until Trunks was gone to catch up with a retreating Man of Steel; "Superman" he called "this thing is bigger than the both of us, we should work together on this" to which Vegeta stated "I hate to say this but he's right Kryptonian so..I'll help(spits the word out) as well". Superman accepted their assistance by quipping "well I hope you like the cold"(dialog with addition from Supergirl Season 2 Episode 2 "Last Children Of Krypton").

The same hysteria and panic that was going on in National City in the aftermath of Cadmus' ominous message was being experienced by Mirai-in relations to Mai's well being; after he was healed the hybrid thought the visage was that of the freedom fighter/love interest, even going as far as calling out "Mai". However, it was only a hallucination and Future Yajirobe was the one really standing over his bed side causing him to squeal in embarrassment(because he feared the samurai heard him mutter Mai's name. His worries were misfounded because he said "there ya go kid you're looking better already" he told Blue Haired Trunks "not even attacks from fancy looking Gods are too much for Senzu Beans". " Hold on a Sensu?" the demi-saiyan asked as he recalled the "kiss" with Mai before he terrifyingly asked the bearded samurai "ah please tell me you didn't just feed it to me mouth to mouth". He denied it by saying "don't be so dense man; I like you man but I dont like you that much!" to which Jan told him "it was Mai who gave you that senzu bean and no Yajirobe didn't feed it to you mouth to mouth".

Mirai nodded(signifying that the explanation Mai gave was satisfactory) and was about to ask where she was when Haru and Maki globbed him shouting "Trunks!"; "it looks like you're feeling better" Haru said to the demi-saiyan to which Maki cheered "hooray!" A relieved Trunks said "glad to see you too" and seeing that an explanation was in order Yajirobe told him "these two fun sized runts grounded up your senzu bean so it'll be easier for you to swallow"; "and they thought of that themselves" Mirai asked back; "they did" Jan responded further vouching for them by saying "they were also very brave, looking for the senzu beans despite knowing that Black could easily find and kill them". "Thanks guys" Mirai said grateful for what they did and how brave they were before adding "sorry to make you worry".

"I'm glad you're fine but I should say you should be more careful out there" Yajirobe said to the demi-saiyan in an adivisary tone before jokingly adding "saving your hide is getting kinda old". " Yea I'm sorry" he once again apologized knowing the samurai had spoken the truth then after taking a look around and feeling that something was off he asked the samurai "where's Mai is she down here"; "well after lugging you're unconscious keyster down here, she went topside again" came the explanation to which Jan added "along with Cassie and that reporter that Kryptonian-I mean Kara- was worried about". "She said she found Black's hideout" came the supplemental information from Yajirobe; "no doubt she went there to avenge you by killing him" the alternate Alex told Mirai and knowing that her life was in grave danger, he immediately flew off.

Meanwhile the enemies were having their own discussion round-table; Bianca was not content to wait around but she was in league with Black so the sorceress had to go along with his idea. "Goku and the others will be return and will likely be even stronger" Black was telling them to which Bianca fumed "you know that they will get stronger and yet you stand around doing nothing?!" Black reassured the witch by saying "well through the process of defeating him for the final time, I expect my power will reach its ultimate pick". "No venture is impossible for those who are truly mighty am I correct?" Zamasu asked the body-stealer back before taking a sip of tea. "Indeed" Black responded looking at his cohert with a sadistic smile as the light from the Nuclear Explosion used on Doomsday (and alternate Superman) lit up the eastern night sky. They didn't know that a few feet away Mai and her men were staking out their location; "shouldn't we get a little closer commander" one of the male commanders asked her to which she whispered "its too dangerous" in response.

The same male commander then asked "are you sure you can hit them at such a long range?" "Yea no problem" the freedom fighter answered in an assured tone to which Cassie thought 'I hope my weapon can reach that far damn I should've taken a measurement of how long this lasso can go". Thankfully her worried thoughts were broken off by Mai ordering another underling "give me that"(as in the gun); he handed it over then said "she's all yours" to her. She nodded then took a look at the gun and prayed that the weapon she had would take down Black for good; at the same time Mirai was rushing to her location recalling Yajirobe's last words along the way."She said you keep getting hurt is cause we all count on you to save us and she felt guilty about that" the samuri had explained when the demi-saiyan angrily asked Jan why she(along with Cassie and Lois) would risk their lives so foolishly; "she said it was her turn to fight. Jan had also said "as for Cassie, she feels like she owes Mai for repairing her broken armor, plus she also said she would quote show Black the consequences of defying the gods unquote. Lois on the other hand is just being her curious reporter self and I'm guessing that she finds both of them to be..shall we say intriguing?" Any way the Demi-saiyan looked at it, taking on Black was suicide and he reflected that worry by muttering " Please Mai..just wait for me"(dialog with heavy addition from Dragon Ball Super episode 63 "Don't you Disgrace Saiyan Cells! Vegeta's Fierce Battle begins!") as the situation(in both National City and the future) seemed to have turned for the worse...TBC
