Earth-2
Metropolis
The Monitor addressed Lois, Superman(38), Superman(96), Kara, Kate, and Iris at HQ. "We have only located four of the Paragons needed to save the multiverse.
"Yeah, so, what's the delay?" Batwoman demanded of Ray as he worked on his machine.
"Hey, it's a Paragon detector. It's complicated stuff, alright," Ray excused as he kept working.
Team Flash then arrived on the scene via a portal. "Someone call for backup?" Cisco asked rhetorically as they arrived.
"Cisco, I could use another genius, stat," Ray said calling him over.
"Since Supergirl's strike on the Anti-Monitor's fleet, it has not moved. For the time being, Earths of other universes are safe," the Monitor said cautiously.
"We should evacuate this Earth while we have the chance," Superman(96) said anxiously.
"No, Barney and I have constructed a new weapon that utilizes the lifeforce of all living things. The energy collected from the planet if aimed directly at the Anti-Monitor could kill him and end this Crisis," Kara rejected.
"A spirit bomb?" Barry questioned.
"It's an Insane technique that was able to destroy Parallax," Kara explained.
"What will happen to the people of the planet when you take their energy?" Iris asked.
"A slight fatigue, nothing more," Kara lied.
"Sounds like a plan," Superman(38) said naively.
"I got it," Ray announced. He then showed the group the identities of the other three Paragons. J'onn J'onnz was the Paragon of Honor, Barry was the Paragon of Love, and Dr. Ryan Troy was the Paragon of Humanity.
Kara eyed the screen and let the group analyze the significance of the revelation. In truth, Brainiac 5 had hacked into Ray's machine to give them the desired result as the Paragons were a mere ploy to keep the heroes busy.
"Dr. Ryan Troy is a physics professor at Ivy-town University on this Earth," Cisco read off a tablet also hacked by Brainiac 5.
"I guess we know our first stop," Iris said.
"With all the Paragons identified, our next priority is to stop the Anti-Monitor," the Monitor said to them.
Brainiac 5 then approached Kara and Kate. "We have a situation."
Oliver, Mia, Alex, James, Nia, and Lena went through a heavily guarded skyscraper that housed the Myriad device. The guards, controlled by Myriad, identified them as threats but did not take out their pistols. What followed was largely a hand-to-hand combat fight through the halls and stairwells. Alex used her laser pistol to stun everyone in front of her as she led the team. Oliver and Mia fired TASER arrows at the guards. When they ran out of those, they used concussion arrows blasting guards to the floor. James took his shield and started whacking fools left-and-right. Nia fired energy pulses as much as she could. At one point, she fired energy cables around several men and slammed them against the walls knocking them out.
"Here it is," Alex said looking at her phone. In front of them was the Myriad device humming along.
"Disconnect it," Oliver said tensely.
"It has to be done gradually or it will be a shock to the system. The human mind won't be able to take it," Lena said as she worked on the controls.
"What's the hold-up?" James asked as more guards showed up.
"The program is resisting me," Lena said as she furiously worked to undermine it.
The team circled around the Myriad device and fought off the guards as they swarmed in. Finally, Lena depowered the device. The guards stopped what they were doing and looked around confused. "I did it," Lena said pleased.
"Now, destroy that thing," Oliver said quickly.
Nia aimed her hand at the device and blasted it to pieces. A sonic-boom rattled the building as Kara landed on the roof. "I think she knows we're here," Nia said dryly.
The guards were suddenly swatted down to the floor knocked out as Supergirl appeared before them faster than they could even track. She eyed the ruined Myriad and then back at the group. "How...disappointing," Kara shook her head and then clapped her hands knocking them all out.
Kara dragged the rebels back to HQ and placed them in the infirmary. She then entered her office where Brainiac 5 was waiting for her. Looking out the window, it was complete chaos as scared and pissed-off humans suddenly had free will. "Another Myriad device will be up and running momentarily," Brainiac 5 assured her.
"That's not the point! How dare they go against my orders! Is this what it has come to? They have been fucking lying to me from the beginning! A bunch of disloyal cowards!" Kara raged.
"Well, surely not all," Brainiac 5 said to her.
"Cowards, traitors, incompetents! These heroes are the scum of the universe. No sense of honor. For years, heroes obstructed me and thwarted me. I should have them all executed!" Kara shouted.
Brainiac 5 remained silent humoring her. Kara calmed down a little and focused herself. "I was never part of some fancy league or legion, but I'm the most powerful being in this universe. But all these traitors will pay in blood! They will drown in their own blood!" she said clutching Brainiac 5's jacket.
"Calm yourself, Kara," Brainiac 5 soothed her.
"My orders are being ignored. I am not appreciated for my efforts. I fucking died trying to save these wretches," Kara said tearfully. "How can I lead under such circumstances? It's over. The war is lost," Kara said softly.
"Do you intend to leave?" Brainiac 5 asked her.
"No, I'm staying right here. I'd rather die for good than retreat. I will never retreat, never surrender," she said to Brainiac 5.
"This attack on Myriad was unexpected. A new device will be set up in a more secure location. As for the rebels, I advise mercy. Many of them are on the protected list," Brainiac 5 said to her.
"Do what you want," Kara said glumly.
"Holy shit," Sara whispered as she overheard the conversation behind the door.
Sara, John, and Oliver met up in the infirmary. "I got the worst headache," Oliver said in the medical bed.
"How could you let this happen, Sara? What the fuck?" John asked outraged.
"It's not that bad, really," Oliver groaned.
"It's complicated," Sara excused.
"It's not complicated. Supergirl is using mind-control on the entire planet. Why was this allowed?" John asked.
"If we didn't use it, there would be chaos, crime, panic in the streets. We can't afford to be concerned for both the people of this Earth and fight the Anti-Monitor at the same time," Sara said.
"It's unAmerican," John said frustrated.
"We have bigger concerns to worry about. Supergirl is bat-shit insane. She died fighting the Anti-Monitor and was resurrected by the Lazarus Pit. Her mind is there but her soul is gone," Sara told him.
"No shit?" John asked stunned.
"The Kara I was told about is hopeful, caring, sweet, funny, and innocent. I don't recognize this monster," Sara said. "She's talking about executing heroes that defy her," Sara said freaked out.
"Let's go back to the beginning. Kara is and has always been a crazy bitch. She was before she died and she is after she died," John doubted.
"I don't think so. I think we have to go to purgatory and get back her soul," Sara said super-serious.
"Fine, count me in," John volunteered.
"Also, Lyla is missing FYI," Sara added.
"I don't give a fuck about that. She can take care of herself," John said dismissively.
"Well, okay then," Sara allowed.
Brainiac 5 brought Alex to Kara's office. As she came in, Kara glared at her. "This is not the time for games, Alex," Kara said to her.
"I wasn't playing any games with you, Kara. What you're doing is wrong. You've lost touch with your values," Alex said to her.
Kara walked over to Alex and lightly punched her to the gut dropping her. "You think you're protected and can do whatever the fuck you want? This is a war on a multiverse scale. Billions if not trillions of people across the multiverse are dead. I don't have the luxury of some constitution or code."
"If we lose our values then what's the point of all this?" Alex asked as she recovered from the floor.
Kara gave her an incredulous look. "We fight for life, for order, for quality of life, and then freedoms and liberties. Discussions on rights and privileges can be hashed out after the war is already won!" Kara shouted at her.
"With Myriad and the way you treat everyone here, you're acting like a fascist," Alex accused.
"You're the director of the DEO, a secret paramilitary organization. You arrest, search, and imprison humans and aliens alike without charges, trial, or any due process. You call me the fascist one. Look in the fucking mirror," Kara shot back.
"I can change and I have made some reforms at the DEO. Can you change, Kara?" Alex asked her.
Kate then entered the room earning an odd look from Alex. "It's more insane out there than a pride parade, I tell you," she said commenting on the riots and looting outside.
"Barney, program your units to execute these rioters and looters on the spot," Kara ordered.
"Let's not be too hasty," Kate interjected.
"The human chaos below is irrelevant," Brainiac 5 added.
Kara noticed she was being outnumbered. "Kate, deal with Director Danvers. Keep her out of trouble."
"No problem," Kate said taking Alex away.
Kate and Alex walked down the halls away from Kara's office. "She's...just having a bad day," Kate said to Alex.
"Whatever is going on with you two, I'm going to find out before this is over," Alex pledged.
"Me and Kara? It's nothing like that," Kate said dismissively.
"You know what I mean," Alex said impatiently.
"Look, Kara can do things I can't. She attacked the Anti-Monitor's fleet with the intention of killing quadrillions of sentient beings, destroying entire civilizations, and knowing it would end with her own death. That's some fucked-up shit I can't even imagine myself doing," Kate said.
"You follow her because she's ruthless but in my experience, those kinds of people destroy friends and foe alike. I don't want that for Kara or anyone else," Alex said.
"We're all here for each other. It's better that we be in Kara's orbit than outside it," Kate said. "That was a pretty bad-ass raid, though. Make sure to invite me to the next one," Kate smiled.
Earth 666 (Yeah, Really)
Los Angeles
Constantine led John and Sara through the streets of Los Angeles on their way to a strip club. "I can't get us to purgatory. I'm going to need some help," Constantine told them.
"From whom?" John asked.
"The Devil," Constantine said seriously.
"I don't believe in the Devil," Mia scoffed.
"You should. He believes in you," Constantine said darkly as he knocked on the door.
The door to the strip club finally opened revealing a white man, with a crewcut, wearing a white suit. "What took you so long, Lu?" Constantine asked impatiently.
"I didn't think you would make the same mistake twice, coming down here," Lucifer remarked.
"How's the family?" Constantine asked.
"The family's doing just fine. Busy, busy, busy, need a vacation," Lucifer replied.
"I need your help. It's a soul retrieval," Constantine said.
"Who's the soul this time, John?" Lucifer asked condescendingly.
"Kara Zor-El," Constantine replied.
Lucifer stared at him as if he himself was afraid of that name. "So many souls have been delivered to me through that woman. It's only right I return the favor," he agreed. "Is there anything I can give the little one? What if I made a deal with you to keep your father alive through this Crisis in return for your soul?" he asked Mia.
"She's not interested," Constantine interjected.
"We're kind of in a hurry," John told him off.
Lucifer eyed Mia and John. "No accounting for tastes, John. So, it would seem God no longer has your back. Is that why you come to me now?"
"This way is just easier and faster," Constantine smirked.
"Isn't that the truth?" Lucifer smirked and then took out a card. "Just stare at it and picture the person you want to save. Oh, and if you take too long your souls will be lost for all eternity in limbo."
"I got the concept," Constantine said taking the card from him.
"Always a pleasure, John," Lucifer sneered and then went back inside.
Constantine turned to the group. "Well, we're all still here alive. That's a good start. Now, keep your mind focused." He stared at the card and then the three of them transported themselves to purgatory. What they found was Krypton in ruins. The sky was dark and magnificent skyscrapers were wrecked. The terrain looked as though the planet was one second before exploding with lava plumes erupting high into the air.
"What is this place?" Mia looked around.
"Purgatory is different for everyone. I imagine this is Krypton right before it exploded. Here, she experiences the hopelessness of not being able to stop her planet's destruction," Constantine figured.
"Will she be able to recognize us?" John asked him.
"Not likely. You will have to make her recognize you," Constantine said.
Earth-2
Metropolis
Barry and the rest of Team Flash considered what to do to get through the Anti-Monitor's fleet's shields. A portal suddenly opened as the Monitor brought Barry Allen of Earth 90 and Jefferson Pierce aka Black Lightning. "I have brought these two heroes to strengthen our numbers and hopefully provide an answer to defeating the Anti-Monitor's defenses."
"I still hate you," Barry(90) shook his head at the Monitor.
"What the fuck is going on?" Jefferson wondered.
"I'll explain everything," Barry promised him.
Lois looked over the location of the Anti-Monitor fleet just sitting there just outside the Helipause barrier. "Why haven't they moved? Are they sticking around to conduct repairs?" she wondered.
Alarm bells went off as an anti-matter torpedo went past the Earth, a warning shot. "What is it that you want?" Lois asked herself.
"A question that has confounded me for billions of years and yet I have no answer," the Monitor said frustrated.
"It's ironic. I'm witnessing the biggest event in history but no one will ever read the story," Lois said bitterly.
"These Earths are not the only ones destroyed. My world died. My family," the Monitor said reflectively.
"What were they like?" Lois asked.
"So full of life. They were everything to me. If only I cared as much for them as I did my work. Now, I understand why you're such a good reporter, Miss Lane.
Kara, Kate, Hank, and Brainiac 5 discussed their plan of action. "I believe it is safe to say the Monitor cannot ready my cybernetic mind. Only I can be trusted with the plan," Brainiac 5 said.
"Agreed. No one can know about this until the proper time. Are you sure two are up for it?" Hank asked Kara and Kate.
"We got this," Kate said giving Kara a fist-bump.
"I will have our workers construct the spirit bomb machine outside Metropolis. There, we will make our stand," Brainiac 5 said.
"Alright, this is going to feel a little weird," Hank said as he erased Kara and Kate's memory of the plan. He then erased the plan from his own mind.
Barry dressed as the Flash as he prepared to commit the ultimate sacrifice. He turned to his team. "I couldn't have made it this far without you guys."
"Sorry, kid, but this has to happen," Barry(90) said as he absorbed Barry's powers.
"What the hell, man?" Barry asked him.
"I'm only momentarily stealing your speed. When you've played this game long enough, you learn some neat tricks," he said as he took Barry to the floor.
"Why are you doing this?" Barry asked him.
"The Monitor said the Flash had to die during Crisis. He never said which one," Barry(90) replied.
"I'm spent," Jefferson said as he gave all he had to the portal machine.
"Open the portal," Barry(90) said to Cisco.
"No," he shook his head.
"Do you want your friend to die? Let me do this. Let me save you all," Barry(90) said to him.
Cisco reluctantly turned on the portal. "Keep riding the lightning, son. I know you'll make us all proud," Barry(90) said to Barry.
Kara then entered the room and noticed the portal. "What the fuck? Shut that down now!" she ordered.
Barry(90) gave her a smirk and then went through the portal. The portal then closed behind him. "Where did he go?" Kara demanded.
Barry(90) suddenly appeared inside the Dyson sphere of the Anti-Monitor fleet. Running at the speed of light, Barry(90) caused massive damage inside the interior of the Dyson sphere causing explosions to be seen on the outside. As Barry(90) traveled inside the anti-matter ship, his atoms began to annihilate with the air around him, the metal under his feet, and all the debris he came into contact with. His body slowly deteriorated relative to his speed and then he was gone in a flash of light. Massive explosions could be seen from the Dyson sphere as it suffered significant internal damage.
"The Dyson sphere has received heavy damage but is still intact," Pariah sensed.
"Damn it," Kara muttered.
"What's your problem, Kara? I thought you would be pleased that we struck a blow against the Anti-Monitor. For all we know, he could be dead," Barry asked her.
"If he were dead, we would know it," Kara glared at him. "You've merely escalated the situation. If we cannot achieve total victory then we do not strike at all."
"Indeed, we have struck a heavy blow against the Anti-Monitor's forces but he still lives," the Monitor said appearing in the room.
Kara eyed an exhausted Jefferson. "Who the fuck are you and what are you doing here?" she sneered.
"The fuck? I was brought here," Jefferson said confused.
"He's fulfilled his role. He's no longer necessary here," Kara said of him.
"You know what? That's just rude," Barry scolded her.
"He's your baggage," Kara said to him and left the room.
"What a bitch," Jefferson said dismayed.
Purgatory
Constantine, John, and Mia kept walking around the ruins of Krypton. "Are you sure this is the right way?" Mia said uncertainly.
"We're on an alien planet so no," Constantine said dryly.
They finally came upon a statue of Kara Zor-El. "Is this her?" John asked.
"Yes," Constantine looked her over.
"What does this mean? She's a statue," Mia pointed out.
"In purgatory, time has no meaning. This is Kara but in the future when she dies for good," Constantine realized.
"So, her soul isn't here?" Mia asked.
"Precisely," Constantine said grimly.
"So, she didn't lose her soul when she came out of the Lazarus Pit? That's how she is normally?" Mia asked incredulously.
"I don't know but her soul isn't here," Constantine told them.
Earth-2
Metropolis
Constantine, John, and Mia returned to HQ. "What happened?" Superman(96) asked them.
"Her soul isn't in purgatory. She is who she is," Mia said glumly.
"I'm sorry, Sara," John said to her.
"Barry's team managed to strike a blow against the Anti-Monitor's Dyson sphere. They were able to project a portal through the Dyson's sphere's shields," Superman(38) reported. "However, a large fleet of a few hundred battleships is now approaching us."
"The Anti-Monitor is with them," the Monitor sensed.
"It looks like you just pissed him off," John considered.
"I need a drink," Constantine said as he took off to the bar.
The Supergirl crew of Alex, James, Kelly, Nia, and Lena came together at the bar. "When I was in Myriad, I could see what was happening like in a dream but I couldn't control my own body," Kelly said, still shell-shocked.
"It was pretty rough going through it a second time," James agreed.
Nia then experienced a flash as she dreamed. She saw the spirit bomb machine deploy like a flower with large pannels that collected all the life energy on the planet. She saw countless people putting their hands up contributing to the bomb. The bomb became bigger and brighter with each second becoming larger than a city. Nia then saw the people becoming tired, collapse, and then die in droves all around her. She then saw the heroes also drop and die as well. Nia found herself in the middle of Metropolis with bodies all around her.
"Oh my God!" Nia snapped out of it.
"What is it?" Alex asked.
"The spirit bomb is going to kill everyone, all life on the planet," Nia revealed.
"Damn," James said stunned.
"We have to stop this," Lena said forcefully. "Kara is using Myriad to force everyone to give up their energy to the point of death."
"If we're going to stop her, we'll need everyone," Alex said.
Supergirl, Batwoman, Brainiac 5, Hank, and the Monitor worked on the spirit bomb machine outside Metropolis. At the appropriate time, Brainiac 5 placed a device on Hank's forehead allowing him to remember their plan. Hank then telepathically informed Supergirl and Batwoman of the plan.
"It's ready," Brainiac 5 said to them.
"Activate Myriad," Kara ordered.
"Myriad activated," Brainiac 5 said regaining control of the entire population of Earth once more. The entire human population then raised their hands lending their life energy to the spirit bomb.
The spirit bomb tower opened like a flower extending large panels to collect the spirit energy from around the world. All five of them looked up as they saw a flicker of light in the sky and then suddenly it became like a bright star above them. "Charge it to maximum," Kara ordered Brainiac 5 ensuring the human population's death.
A ship then landed nearby. The assembled heroes came out of the ship and confronted the five. The two Supermen, Team Flash, Team Arrow, Team Supergirl, Legends, Black Lightning, and Pariah formed a united front against them. "We can't let you do this," Superman(96) told Kara.
"It's the only way to win," Kara said to him.
"We've managed to get past their shields and portal inside the ships. There is another way," Barry said to her.
Kara gave him an intrigued expression but then gave him a cold stare. "Kara, this isn't you," Superman(38) said to her.
"None of you know who I really am," Kara said dismissively.
"But I do," Monitor said to them all. "Kara is doing what is necessary to secure victory, to save the multiverse. The sacrifice of Earth-2 is a necessary one," he said.
"I can't stand for this," Oliver said to him. He bravely went over to her. "I know your soul isn't in purgatory. This is all you. If you do this, you're damned."
"I was damned long ago," Kara told him. "In any other setting, your words would reach me, Oliver. But not now, not here."
"Don't make us fight you," Oliver said to her.
"You think you can win wars through feelings? I would sacrifice any of you, all of you, to achieve victory. Including you," Kara said to him.
"Sacrifice me. I don't give a fuck but let these people live," Oliver said to her. "We'll find another way."
"It's too late, Oliver," Kara replied and then went back to the other four.
"We don't have much time before everyone is dead," Ray said as the spirit bomb got larger.
"It's now or never," Barry realized.
Kara went over to the Monitor. "Once the spirit bomb is at full power, launch it at the Anti-Monitor fleet. We will rendezvous at Earth-1."
"Agreed," Monitor said to her. "Of all the heroes I have come across, only a very few have had your will to achieve victory at any cost," he complimented her.
"It was my pleasure," Kara replied.
Lyla suddenly appeared between the assembled heroes and the Monitor. "Marv, it's a trap!" she shouted at him.
"Lyla?" John wondered.
"What do you mean?" the Monitor asked her.
A device slid between the Monitor's legs and created a powerful gravitational force keeping him planted to the ground. A heat vision beam went through the Monitor's back and out his chest. The Monitor fell to his knees devastated. Batwoman fired her cable gun wrapping the Monitor up, pinning his arms to his side. Hank placed his hands on the Monitor's head making him fall asleep.
"He's very strong. I can't hold him for long," Hank said to everyone.
Brainiac 5 fired his stun gun at Lyla dropping her as she rushed over. He then placed a device on the Monitor's forehead and connected cables to it. "This may take time to process," he warned the others.
"Shut off the spirit bomb," Batwoman said to Brainiac 5. He immediately complied turning the device off before the entire population could be killed.
The assembled heroes and teams rushed forward to confront the four for their epic betrayal. Supergirl and Batwoman went back-to-back as they eyed the heroes rushing them. "You take the Kryptonians. I'll take everyone else," Kara said to Batwoman.
"Too easy," Batwoman replied activating her suit. Her knuckles and Bat-symbol became a glowing green.
The Supermen and Flash were the first to arrive speeding towards them. Superman(96) gave Batwoman a half-hearted push so he could get to Kara. Batwoman took hold of his arm and threw him across the ground. "What the?" Superman(38) wondered as he saw what happened. Batwoman uppercut him to the ground nearly knocking him out.
Kara eyed the Flash as he sped towards the captured Monitor. He circled around the Monitor looking for an opening. Kara blew super-cold frost around the Monitor slowing down the Flash. As he approached, Kara kicked his leg, breaking it. Barry went for a super-fast punch. Kara caught it and dislocated his arm. Kara then cast him to the ground. Jefferson fired everything he had at Kara in a powerful electrical discharge. Kara felt a tingling sensation on her crest from the attack.
"No way," Jefferson realized.
A heat vision beam went through his torso dropping him. Batwoman fought off both Supermen at once keeping them at bay. Taking out two pistols, she fired Kryptonite bullets at Superman(96). He dodged her bullets twisting and turning his body to avoid them. Superman(96) then steadied himself as his speed returned to normal.
"Dodge this," Batwoman said from his side, punching him to the head knocking him out.
Superman(38) blasted Batwoman with intense wind. Her boots remained planted to the ground no matter how hard he blew. Batwoman then fired a cable gun at Superman's boot and then dragged him to her. As soon as Superman(38) landed on the ground, Batwoman punched him hard to the chest dropping him.
"Done yet?" Batwoman asked Brainiac 5.
"Still processing," he replied.
At this point, the lower-tier heroes charged forward. Kara rose off the ground and fired heat vision creating a wall of flames on the ground. Oliver was now the last man standing on the other side of the firewall. John was at Lyla's side as he saw Oliver bravely walk forward. "Oliver," he said softly realizing he had no chance.
"Dad," Mia shook her head dismayed.
Kara approached Oliver away from the captured Monitor. "What is this? Make me understand," Oliver said to her.
"Loyalty means you don't question me," Kara said to him.
Oliver shook his head and readied his bow. Kara increased the air pressure around them forcing most of the civilians and weaker heroes to fall to the ground overwhelmed. Oliver struggled to stand as Kara increased the air pressure around them. "Alright, fight it is," Oliver said as he fired a single arrow at her.
Kara watched as the arrow split in the air and rained down several arrows around her. As they impacted the ground, they exploded sending smoke into the air. "You're going to have to do better than that," Kara smirked.
An arrow went through the smoke and penetrated Kara's suit. Kara stared at the arrow in shock as it managed to puncture her lung. She pulled the arrow out and realized it was Kryptonite. Oliver emerged from the smoke with his bow ready.
Kara smiled impressed with him. She motioned for him to come to her. Oliver fired another arrow at her. Midair, the arrow became a sonic charge forcing Kara to clutch her ears painfully. Oliver fired at her as he rushed her. The arrow ignited in a blinding flash of light. Kara closed her eyes from the intensity of it. Oliver took his bow and smacked Kara to the head. Kara regained her senses and struggled with Oliver over his bow. He leaped up and kicked her to the chest, flipping, and freeing himself from her. He then grabbed a Kryptonite blade and tried to slice her shoulder.
"You won't win with non-lethal strikes, Oliver," Kara said to him.
"Don't tell me how to fight," Oliver told her off.
Kara and Oliver fought over the knife until it flew out of Oliver's hands to the dirt. Oliver then struck her with his bow forcing her back a few steps. Oliver kept at it getting several hits on her. Oliver then took a Nanite arrow, courtesy of Ray, and stuck it into her shoulder.
Kara immediately felt weaker as the nanites circulated around her body. "Not bad," Kara smiled.
"What do you want with the Monitor?" Oliver demanded.
"Beat me and I'll tell you," Kara said to him.
The two went at it at roughly equal strength, punching each other in a fierce battle. Kara smiled as she enjoyed the battle not going at full speed. Nia blasted the fire away giving Alex a path towards the fallen Monitor. Batwoman stepped up to block her. Alex pounded on Batwoman as hard as she could. Batwoman merely blocked her strikes.
"The download is complete," Brainiac 5 reported.
"About time," Hank struggled to keep the Monitor under.
"Wake him up," Batwoman said to Hank.
He obliged, withdrawing from the Monitor. Batwoman then disarmed Alex of her pistol and pointed it at the Monitor's head. The Monitor stared at Batwoman with groggy confused eyes. "Game over," she said as she fired into his head. The Monitor fell to the ground dead.
Kara kicked the bow out of Oliver's hands, the bow flipped in the air, and landed in Kara's hands. Kara then aimed an arrow at Oliver defeating him. Sighing, she glowed briefly destroying the annoying nanites in her system. Kara smirked at Oliver and tossed his bow aside. She then proceeded to walk up to Batwoman, Brainiac 5, and Hank.
"Do you have the answer we need?" Kara asked Brainiac 5.
"Assuming the Monitor's information is correct, yes," Brainiac 5 replied.
"What have you done?" Alex asked them stupified by the Monitor's death.
"We've either won the war or doomed us all," Kara replied.
Author's Notes: Lucifer is presented as he is Constantine (2005) with a much more sinister appearance. It is very likely he will return in later episodes of Adventures of Supergirl. I found it amusing to have the CW characters go to purgatory to find Kara's soul only to realize she is a terrible person. Their optimism about her is completely destroyed. Also, CW Arrow was dedicated to creating the Harbinger only for her to betray the Monitor. Her role in transporting heroes is not only reduced but unnecessary with the portal devices. In the comic, the Monitor intentionally allows himself to be killed by Lyla whereas in the CW version he's just dumb. A lot of other nonsense was cut and revised. In part 4, we will get the Anti-Monitor's motivation and history, which was never given to us in the CW version.
