At the tower, Mr. Mxyzptlk was at Kara's side. Hank, Alex, and Brainiac 5 assembled as well. "Her name is Nyxly?" Hank questioned.
"Officially, Nyxlygsptlnz," Mxyz corrected.
"Whatever it is, she tried to keep me down when I was at my worst," Kara said peeved.
"She was going to go after you sooner or later. You're that special in the universe," Mxyz flattered Kara and then kissed her hand.
"What do you mean?" Alex demanded.
"I can explain everything," Mxyz offered, ready to snap his fingers.
"Yeah, how about no?" Hank declined.
"I imagine Nyxly can track you here despite the Tower's shielding," Brainiac 5 assumed.
"She could track me, you, anyone, and there's no amount of three-dimensional shielding you can use to prevent that," Mxyz confirmed. "Now, I'm a show, don't tell kind of guy but, if need be, I will explain the situation in words, but I'll need a decent sound system."
"God no," Alex shook her head.
"She's a bitch, she's a lover, she's a child, she's a mother, she's a sinner, she's a saint, she doesn't feel ashamed. She's your dream, she's your hell, she's nothing in between...," Mxyz sang.
"I'm sorry. I don't have time for that kind of nonsense," Kara told him off, ending his singing.
"Fine. Nyxly is no ordinary imp. She was a princess, brave and strong. Like all of us, she is the child of the king," Mxyz said.
"You mean God?" Kara asked.
"Sure...whatever," Mxyz rolled his eyes. "She conspired against the king, got caught, put on trial, and sent to hell. And the King was praised by all for his divine judgment. Somehow, she escaped hell and has lived in the outer limits of this universe. Now, she seeks the All-stone."
Nia entered the tower looking befuddled. "Wait...what's an All-Stone?" she asked.
"The Infinity Gauntlet," Mxyz explained.
"Gotcha," Kara nodded.
"One imp named Jyrrd tried to use it for himself, the other imps found out about it, they banished his ass, and destroyed the All-Stone," Mxyz said. "Now, the pieces are scattered throughout the multiverse where they have become totems of truth, destiny, love, dreams, hope, humanity, and courage."
"Humanity, huh? That sounds like bullshit," Hank doubted.
"I mean to say...civilization. Yeah, let's go with that," Mxyz corrected himself.
"So...Infinity War," Kara identified.
"Exactly," Mxyz confirmed. "Nxyz needs these pieces to create the All-Stone but the totems can be disguised as literally anything."
"Like a pack of cigarettes," Kara suggested.
"Right, but she'll need a magical orb to find them," Mxyz continued. "Jyrdd's crystal."
"Like a homing beacon," Alex said following along.
"Like when you have one Infinity Stone and it leads you to all the others," Kara said.
"You're on a roll," Mxyz smiled at her. "To give power to the crystal, she will need a Mr. Mxyzptlk to help her."
"Nyxly wants to capture you to use the magical orb to find the totems to create the All-Stone," Brainiac 5 summarized.
"Yes," Mxyz nodded.
"This is all your fault," Alex scolded Kara.
"Say what?" Kara evaded.
"If you hadn't sealed yourself away in the Fortress all those months being a cry-baby because you lost, she would never have come to Earth. See how your actions have consequences for the country, the planet, the universe?" Alex pointed out.
"She could have tried to mess with me at any time for any reason," Kara said dismissively.
"Nyxly is fueled by negative energy, so you did give her that," Mxyz interrupted.
"Well...shit," Kara shook her head. "I didn't consciously choose to bring her back to terrorize the universe."
"You're still responsible," Alex told her.
"Can we build something to depower her?" Nia asked naively.
"It's fifth-dimensional energy. It's beyond the laws of physics," Brainiac 5 shot down.
"Wait...why are you even helping me?" Kara asked suspiciously of Mxyz.
"At the Tournament of Power, your team prevailed and this universe was preserved. So, I owe you a debt of gratitude," Mxyz replied.
Behind closed doors, Brainiac 5 decided it was time to chew Nia out. "You had intelligence of Nyxly's attack, you knew of her presence on Earth, but you said nothing. Nyxly could have killed the Super-Friends and everyone in that building. Up until the arrival of Mr. Mxyzptlk, the Super-Friends were the only ones that could put up a front against her. You risked all of our lives, the planet, and the universe so you could see your mother for twenty-four hours."
"Yes, and my mother scolded me for it," Nia admitted.
"I don't think a simple scolding is sufficient for you to understand what you have done," Brainiac 5 lectured. "You put your own personal feelings and desires above the fate of the universe. It is the epitome of selfishness."
"I know. I'm a horrible person," Nia said sitting on the couch.
"You're not wrong but you still have the potential to correct this mistake," Brainiac 5 said condescendingly.
"Like you're so different? I've heard of how you've restarted the timeline. You could have broke space and time doing that," Nia accused.
"I always knew the fifth dimension or higher could rectify any mistake I made with time travel. You, on the other hand, have thrown the fifth dimension into chaos," Brainiac 5 accused.
"So, what should I do?" Nia asked finally.
"Help us stop this imp with the rest of us. This will stay between us," Brainiac 5 said. "If you tell Kara, she'll lose what little respect she still has for you."
"I did the exact opposite of what a real hero should do. I should be fired or something," Nia said depressed.
"You will be constantly supervised and put under surveillance," Brainiac 5 offered.
"Thank you," Nia said gratefully.
The next day at the Tower, the Super-Friends worked to see what they could do to stop Nyxly. "If Nyxly derives power from negative emotional energy, we could reverse engineer the process," Brainiac 5 considered.
"How about these handcuffs that have power dampeners in them?" Alex suggested.
"Or a phantom projector?" Hank suggested showing it. "It should render her powerless and trap her forever."
"No, no, and no," Mxyz shot down. "She can easily insulate herself from your happy positive friendly energy, power dampeners will have no effect on her, and she can easily escape the Phantom Zone as easily as escaping a black hole. I don't think you truly appreciate the power of the fifth dimension. It is the power of imagination, of thought."
"You know, I've been thinking. Nyxly is troubled but she may also have been wrongly persecuted. I may still be able to make her see that revenge isn't the answer," Kara said.
Alex gave Kara a long stare. "You fucking with us? We don't have time for your bullshit. If we have the opportunity, we take her out. The planet, the universe is at stake. We don't play games with her. Now, didn't Mon-El use that amulet when he fought one of you?"
"Fought is too strong a word," Mxyz smirked.
"I thought the amulet was destroyed," Kara recalled.
"It's hidden away in Corto Maltese," Mxyz revealed. "Although, it was used as a base for a guerrilla warlord the last time I checked."
"So, go get it," Kara ordered.
"Okay, okay, look, I'm here to help but I can't do everything for you. It just wouldn't be fun that way," Mxyz declined.
"What if I decide to take sides with Nyxly and help her acquire the All-Stone to destroy everything?" Kara asked darkly.
"Be my guest, I'll simply hop into another universe and leave your ass behind," Mxyz said unconcernedly.
"If you lose your own universe, you're going to be in deep shit," Kara assumed.
"Nah, more like chewed out. I've been chewed out before," Mxyz bluffed.
The two stared each other down. "Fine, we'll play your little game," Kara relented.
"You have great power...well...relative to any other organic beings in this universe on the three-dimensional plane. You can even manipulate the fourth dimension in primitive ways. But, to me, you're way out of your league, Supergirl. You're going to need my help to take down Nyxly. So, go fetch me that amulet," Mxyz ordered her.
Kara glared at him but then flew out of the tower.
The Suicide Squad
(Rated I for Immature)
Kara entered an Osprey helicopter in a red-and-black uniform. She was sporting pigtails dyed in red and black, black lipstick, blush, and black eyeliner to make her nearly unrecognizable. "Sorry, I'm late. I had to go number two," she said as she entered.
"Good to know, " Col. Flag shook his head dismayed.
"Flag," Kara identified as she pointed at him and then made her way to her seat. "Coming through," she said to the Suicide Squad members. This time, the squad was composed of Savant, Blackguard, Weasel, TDK, Javelin, and Mongal.
"Oh, where's Captain Boomerang? Oh, that's right. I killed him last time," Kara said cheerfully as she took her seat.
The Osprey then took off towards Corto Maltese. "So, you decided to switch from Marvel to DC? Some would call that a whole step down," Kara mocked Savant.
"It's not my fault. I just followed the director over here," Savant said defensively.
"What does TDK stand for?" Javelin asked.
"It's my name," TDK said simply.
"Your name is just letters?" Javelin asked confused.
"All names are made up of letters, dickhead," TDK told him off.
"I love your accent," Kara said adoringly to Javelin.
"American women all love my accent," Javelin smiled.
"We do," Kara confirmed. "Because we got none," she said in her Kryptonian accent.
"Is this thing a dog?" Black Guard wondered of Weasel.
"I'm going to go with Afghan hound," TDK guessed.
"Is it a werewolf?" Kara asked wide-eyed.
"This fucking thing is a werewolf? Get me out of these restraints," Black Guard said frantically.
"He's not a werewolf, he's a weasel," Col. Flag informed the squad. "He's harmless...well, except for when he killed twenty-seven children but you know what I'm saying. Everyone, get into position to drop."
The lone osprey arrived at Corto Maltese and hovered over the ocean. The Suicide Squad dropped into the water and swam towards the beach except for weasel who apparently couldn't swim. Savant, being the hero that he was, saved the weasel but noticed he wasn't breathing. "Weasel is dead," he reported as he dragged the body to shore.
The rest of the Suicide Squad cautiously moved towards the beach. Kara took out her RPG while Col. Flag loaded his rifle. Black Guard then walked out into the open. "Hey, guys, you can come out now. It's me," he shouted to the jungle.
"What the fuck is he doing?" Col. Flag wondered.
"I say the same thing every time I watch SNL," Kara nodded.
"I was the one that contacted you. I brought you everyone," Black Guard shouted.
"Black Guard, get back to your fucking position," Col. Flag ordered.
"They're right behind me," Black Guard said holding up his hands. As he got closer to the jungle, searchlights came on showing an army. "Whoa, hey, we have a deal, right? I was the one that called you."
Black Guard was suddenly hit to the face blasting a large hole through it. He immediately fell in the sand dead. The Corto Maltese army proceeded to fire automatic weapons at the Suicide Squad. "Black Guard sold us out to the Corto Maltese army," Col. Flag reported to Amanda Waller. "We need to retreat."
"Negative, Colonel Flag. The mission is too important. You have a tough group. You can make it," Amanda Waller said knowing full well Supergirl was among them.
Kara gleefully fired an RPG at the Corto Maltese army blowing up a gun truck and scattering some troops. The Corto Maltese army moved closer to the beach firing non-stop as they did. Kara ran towards the army getting hit several times as she did and took cover behind some rocks. Col. Flag fired accurate shots against several soldiers and then used his pistol to get some more kills like the badass he was. He then dropped next to Kara to take cover.
TDK took cover behind his own rock and then detached his arms. The two arms went towards the army and started slapping them around. "What the fuck?" Kara wondered.
"I didn't pick the damn team," Col. Flag said defensively.
Mongal then leaped off a rock onto the Corto Maltese helicopter. The helicopter lost control and killed several soldiers as it crash-landed. Mongal crawled out of the wreckage of the helicopter on fire. She screamed in agony before she finally died. Javelin went to throw his...javelin when he was shot several times. TDK's arms got shot up several times in the air. TDK was on the ground squirming in pain. After all this death and destruction, Savant had seen enough. He bolted towards the ocean. Amanda gave him several warnings and then exploded his head.
As her position became more heated, Kara dodged enemy fire and found Javelin still alive. "Oh, no. Not you," Kara said sorrowfully.
"You are the only one...fit to carry my javelin," he said softly.
"I know, right?" Kara nodded.
"Carry it for...," Javelin said and then died.
"Carry it for who? For what?" Kara yelled at him.
"Stop where you are or die," the Corto Maltese soldiers said to her.
"I'm sorry. I only speak American," Kara said to them.
Col. Flag also got caught but by a different armed group and was forced to surrender.
The next morning, Kara was tied up and placed in a deep hole. "You guys are making a huge mistake," Kara said knowingly.
"Please, put this on," the Corto Maltese commander ordered her as he tossed her a dress.
"Wait, you want me to wear this over my dirty clothes? Shouldn't I take a shower first? Why do you have this with you? Was one of your men keeping it with them for just an occasion?" Kara mocked.
"You make a good point. You'll put on the dress after you've cleaned yourself up," the commander reconsidered.
"Well...no shit," Kara agreed.
Shortly thereafter, Kara took a shower to get all the sand, salt, and blood off her, got the dye out of her hair, and put on the red dress. She was escorted by the army to the palace building. "Do you guys know who the fuck I am? I am a queeeen!" Kara told her escort.
Kara was then greeted by the entire palace staff. "Seniorita, Quinn, on behalf of the president of Corto Maltese, it is a pleasure to serve you," the butler said to her.
"Finally, some respect," Kara smiled.
Kara entered the palace and jumped from title-to-tile in a childish manner. "Beat that," she said to her escort. She then noticed a nearly naked strong muscular man with countless battle scars emerge from a private pool. He was given towels to dry off by his servants and then given a bathrobe.
"Oh," Kara said positively aroused by him.
"Join me for dinner. That's not a request," Mon said to her.
"Of course," Kara said taking his hand.
What followed was Mon and Kara eating all sorts of delicacies at a large table, overlooking the city from the palace balcony, playing with the parrots, and then hanging out in Mon's suite room. "You want me to do what?" Kara asked incredulously.
"To marry me," Mon repeated.
"But we're already married," Kara reminded him.
"Oh...right," Mon recalled.
"Mon, what the fuck are you doing here? Why are you the president?" Kara asked.
"I was bored so I sacked the corrupt violent government. Now, Corto Maltese is under new Insane management," Mon said impressed with himself. "Still, many of the people here find me to be an unacceptable leader."
"Oh, really?" Kara rolled her eyes.
"These people are old-fashioned as fuck. They want me to be married," Mon said.
"When the fuck did you care about public opinion?" Kara asked.
"If we revealed our marriage publicly, the people would love you for it. You represent the American dream to them," Mon said.
"Yeah, maybe," Kara said, uncommitted.
"Why are you here?" Mon asked confused.
"There's an amulet here that can hurt fifth-dimensional beings," Kara said. "So, I got Amanda Waller to help me form a Suicide Squad to take down the government and get it," Kara explained.
"I have the amulet. It's in a lead box somewhere in a prison tower," Mon revealed.
"You bastard...that's so hawt," Kara said and then immediately starting making out with him. Mon slammed Kara up against an old painting shredding it, Kara tore off his belt and then slammed him into his gun collection case. Mon backed Kara up against a priceless vase breaking it as it fell and then slammed her on top of a table scattering a collection of candles on the floor. The rug on the floor immediately caught fire. The two made love on the floor as the fire raged around them. When they were done, the room was a complete mess.
"What you have...between your legs...is a real monster," Kara complimented as they lay on the floor looking up at the ceiling.
"I know," Mon agreed.
The next morning, Mon hung Kara from the ceiling with her hands tied. He proceeded to stun her every so often when his hand touched her side. "How many troops came with you on the beach?" Mon asked her.
"Sixty-nine," Kara mocked.
"Okay, bitch," Mon said as he stunned her again.
"Harder," Kara requested.
Mon placed his fingers on her abs and stunned her again. "Lower," Kara said completely enthralled. Mon proceeded to do so turning her on. Kara then did a pull-up and placed her thighs on his neck. Mon resisted her but was quickly overpowered as per usual. Kara carefully choked him out and then placed him on the floor. Kara snapped off her restraints and made sure Mon was okay. It was their thing. He would wake up in a few hours.
However, Mon did not tell his guards Kara could leave as she pleased. Three of them went to apprehend her as she went towards the exit. Kara swatted them down in less than a second. Kara casually walked down the halls as armed men fired upon her. Kara let the bullets recherche off her hitting them all in non-lethal areas in the confined space. Kara kicked a door open, headbutted a guard to the floor, and beat down several men with her martial arts skills. As headed to the exit, she was blasted by a squad of men with automatic rifle fire. Kara waited for them to run out of bullets and then clapped her hands knocking them all out at once. Retrieving Javelin's javelin, she casually exited the building to get a cab only to find Col. Flag and Bloodsport running around.
Kara intercepted them around the corner as they were planning an elaborate scheme to free her. "What are you guys doing?" Kara wondered.
"We're here to save you," Col. Flag said awkwardly.
"Save me?" Kara gave him an odd look.
"And it was a really good plan, too," Col. Flag said peeved.
"Well, I can go back inside and still do it," Kara volunteered.
"What's with the Javelin?" Bloodsport asked through his creepy mask.
"I'm waiting for God to tell me," Kara said honestly.
"Jesus Christ," Bloodsport said dismayed.
"Or him. Whichever of them, really," Kara said as she gave Col. Flag a hug.
"Okay," Col Flag patted her on the back with his pistol.
"I'm so sorry," Kara said with false sincerity. "I'm Harley Quinn," she introduced herself to Bloodsport.
"Bloodsport," he told her.
The Suicide Squad met up with a recovered Mon on the roof of a random building. "The amulet is in that tower," he pointed out. "It has lead everywhere inside and the amulet, itself, is in a lead case," Mon said.
"So, go there and go get it," Kara ordered.
"Bitch, I forgot where I put it," Mon said honestly.
"We search every floor of the building and find it," Col. Flag said.
"Doesn't sound too hard," Bloodsport shrugged. It then started to rain. "Well...shit," he muttered.
"I knew not killing your ass three seasons ago would pay off," Kara smiled.
"Wait...what?" Bloodsport thought he misheard.
The Suicide Squad composed of Kara, Mon, Col. Flag, Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Ratgirl, Polka-dot man, and King Shark got into a presidential limo and drove to the tower. As soon as the guards saw Mon's face, they let them through. However, once they arrived at the tower, they were fired upon. "What the fuck?" Col. Flag wondered.
"Must be a coup. General Mateo Suarez is behind this," Mon said.
The Suicide Squad exited the ruined car and came out shooting. Bloodsport fired off some darts from his wristband getting some good neck shots, Col. Flag fired off his shotgun, Peacemaker hacked men to death with his sword, and King Shark literally tore a man in half. Mon accessed the eye scanner and unlocked the doors. The Corto Maltese military loyal to Gen. Suarez then arrived in full force. Mon inputted the emergency shutdown code locking the doors.
"You could have told them you're Insane," Kara scolded.
"I figured my charisma alone would do the trick," Mon said defensively.
The army outside worked to try to take down the doors by smashing a humvee against it over and over again. Meanwhile, soldiers inside the tower were alerted to shoot-to-kill the Suicide Squad inside the tower. As the tower was searched, Kara, Mon, and Col. Flag found themselves in a crowded prison filled with men, women, and children.
"What's this?" Col. Flag asked outraged.
"They must be prisoners from the old regime," Mon figured.
"There must be records somewhere," Col. Flag said looking around and then found a computer core.
"Another Pulitizer for Kara Danvers," Kara said pleased and gave Col. Flag a high-five.
Peacemaker then pulled out a pistol against them both. "I can't let you release that, colonel," he told him. "Miss Waller charged me with keeping those records from leaving this building."
"Should have known Waller always had a backup," Col. Flag said unimpressed.
"Come on, man. It's not personal," Peacemaker said.
"Holding a gun on me is pretty fucking personal," Col. Flag pointed out.
"I'm going to need that drive, colonel," Peacemaker ordered.
"These people experimented on children," Col. Flag accused.
"No one says what they did was right. If that gets out, it will create an international incident. The cost of peace is worth any price including the life of a hero like yours so, please, don't make me do this," Peacemaker said to him. Finally, Peacemaker shot at Col. Flag.
Kara caught the bullet and then fired heat vision beams into the ceiling causing it to collapse on top of Peacemaker. He was instantly buried in concrete. "Release the prisoners," Kara ordered Mon who was just standing there.
The Corto Maltese army began firing artillery at the tower blasting holes into the walls and compromising its structural integrity. The aquarium broke open in front of King Shark and immediately the fish began to attack him. He was carried off by the water and fell out of the tower where he hit the ground with a thud. To add insult to injury, the Corto Maltese army fired on him with automatic weapons non-stop.
King Shark got back to his feet pissed off and bit off the head of the squad leader sending the other soldiers into a retreat. The tower began to collapse showering the Corto Maltese army in debris. King Shark and a great many soldiers were crushed by the falling debris. Inside the tower, the prisoners were released. Kara and Mon looked out the window. "Let the prisoners die or kill the army," Mon mused.
Kara went back and forth not liking either prospect. "Teleport the prisoners to the palace, make sure you get every one of them, and then come back here," she told him.
"Fine," Mon relented. "Get over here, we're going for a ride through time and space," he said to all the prisoners.
"The tower is about to collapse. We must abort," Col. Flag said to Kara.
"Fuck that. Where's ratgirl? She can use her rats to find the amulet," Kara said as she scanned the tower.
The tower then completely collapsed ending the argument. The surviving Suicide Squad members got out of the tower just in time and were surrendered by the Corto Maltese army. "Now would be a good time to reveal you're Supergirl," Col. Flag said dryly.
In the distance, Nyxly appeared amused by the Suicide Squad's lame-ass attempt to undermine her. She picked up a starfish off the beach and then threw it like a frisbee towards the tower. As it landed, it grew into a giant starfish with a giant eyeball. The Corto Maltese army immediately fired on the starfish in vain. At the same time, the starfish rained down smaller starfish on the Corto Maltese army instantly taking over their minds as they landed on their faces.
Bloodsport shot at the flying starfish, Polka-dot man swat them away, Ratgirl put on a gas mask, and King Shark's head was too big for them to suction onto. In short order, the Corto Maltese army was completely taken over including Gen. Suarez. "This city is mine," Nyxly said through Gen. Suarez.
"Find me that amulet," Kara ordered the Suicide Squad and then flew off the ground towards the main starfish. Kara sliced the eye of the starfish with her javelin creating massive damage. Nyxly then sealed the eye of the starfish with an energy shield trapping Kara inside. "To escape that shield, you'll have to unleash a solar flare powerful enough to destroy the city," Nyxly smirked.
The Suicide Squad watched dumbfounded as a giant starfish with its army unleashed hell upon the city. "Mission accomplished, Colonel Flag. Prepare to leave Corto Maltese with that computer core," Amanda Waller ordered via radio.
"I have to stop this," Col. Flag said heroically.
"Don't go off-mission, colonel," Amanda warned.
Col. Flag turned to the other Suicide Squad members. "I don't have a bomb in my head, so I have a duty to do something. If you don't come with me, I'll understand," he said.
"Well...shit," Bloodsport sighed.
"Don't you dare! Stop what you're doing. That's an order. I'll blow your heads fucking off," Amanda threatened via radio.
The Suicide Squad ignored her and continued their approach towards Starro. As it happened, there was an office coup in Amanda Waller's office stopping her from killing the Suicide Squad remotely. "You're free to engage," Amanda's communications officer informed them.
Mon instantly teleported near Starro's leg. "Fuck," he said as he concentrated. Starro attempted to evade him by going through some buildings. Mon grabbed Starro's leg and then instantly teleported himself and Starro into space.
No longer concerned with collateral damage, Kara incinerated Starro in a flash of light in space. Free of the giant starfish, Kara flew back towards Corto Maltese. Nyxly sensed the destruction of her starfish and proceeded to designate another starfish. That starfish grew to the same size and started stomping around. "This is some bullshit," Kara frowned as she thought of what to do.
"We'll have to kill every starfish on the island," Mon figured.
"Even if we did just that, she'd come up with something else to grow massive," Kara sighed.
On the street level, Bloodsport and Col. Flag fired on the new Starro without much result. "King Shark, monster is yum-yum," Bloodsport said to him.
"Monster is yum-yum?" King Shark questioned.
"Yes!" Bloodsport confirmed.
King Shark then charged the monster fearlessly and began biting chunks off. Polka-dot man unleashed his true power blasting off a large portion of Starro's leg. "I'm a superhero!" Polka-dot man shouted, exhilarated by his success.
Starro quickly crushed him dead with one of its legs. It then tossed King Shark off into a skyscraper. On the ground, Bloodsport became surrounded by civilians taken over by the starfishes. He shot at them, sliced at them with his sword, and even used a flame thrower. Still, he was quickly overwhelmed and brought to the ground. Ratgirl finally found the amulet in the rubble with the use of her rats.
"I found it!" she shouted.
Kara sped over to her position and took the amulet from her. "Thanks," she said appreciatively.
"Don't thank me, thank them," she said of the thousands of swarming rats.
"Yeah, sure," Kara said disgustedly. Kara pulsed her own energy into the amulet, immediately creating an energy dome around the island. Nyxly was forced off the island as the dome approached her. Mon sent an energy beam through Starro's eye and out the other side killing it instantly. The people with starfish faces fell to the ground dead.
After the battle, Col. Flag came up to Kara. "I trust you with this. Get it out there so the people know what happened here."
"I will," Kara said sincerely.
"Well, that's our ride," Col. Flag said as an osprey helicopter arrived.
Kara gave him a sincere salute which he returned back to her. The Suicide Squad then left the island. "I know you can hear me, Supergirl. Should you release that information to the press, I'll reveal you're Kara Danvers. Don't think to kill me. Upon my death, it all gets revealed, you, your family, your sister, your foster parents in Midvale. I've known about your activities ever since your ship landed so don't fuck with me," Amanda said to her on a frequency only she could hear.
"Well played," Kara shook her head dismayed.
In the tower, Alex and Hank were in the lab. Alex delicately worked on getting the glowing blue orb out of the amulet but was having some difficulty prying it out. "Looks like Supergirl had an easier time getting this amulet back from that warlord than I am just getting it out of its case," Alex complained.
"I think that says more about you than Supergirl," Hank burned.
"Maybe I can help," Mr. Mxyzptlk volunteered, appearing right in front of her.
"Jesus," Alex said startled. "You know what? I got this," she said as she took the stone out. "You can let me know if Kelly calls again. She's been dealing with all the fallout Nyzly did in the heights."
"Show, don't tell," Hank lectured Alex.
"No, I meant I can help you with this," Mxyz clarified.
"I'm not sure I trust you with magic," Hank said honestly.
"I have practical skills as well. I'm not like a Weasley in Harry Potter," Mxyz said defensively.
"Okay, well now that the stone is out, how do you get the magical current to flow into the electrical one?" Alex asked.
"It's actually beyond your comprehension as a third-dimensional being. It's like describing a spear to a stick figure," Mxyz said condescendingly.
"That sounds like bullshit. Try us," Hank challenged.
Mxyz casually deconstructed a handcuff in mid-air and then placed the stone inside it. "Impressed?" he asked.
Alarms went off in the Tower as Nyxly made her next strike in Metropolis. "Nia, Barney, there's fifth-dimensional energy downtown. Get there," Hank ordered.
Kara, Brainiac 5, Hank, Nia, Alex, and Mxyz casually walked about downtown as civilians ran and screamed in terror. "This is all my fault," Nia said dumbfounded.
"Truer words have never been said," Kara mocked.
A giant house cat leaped from building rooftop-to-rooftop and then landed at the street level hissing and snarling at civilians. "I got this," Hank said as he blocked a car from hitting some random civilians.
"Good work, Hank," Kara said condescendingly.
Alex then took up a bazooka and aimed at the cat. "Alex, are you really going to blast to pieces a cute kitty?" Kara asked her.
"Shut up, Kara. I'm trying to save the city," Alex told her off and fired at the cat. The cat grabbed the missile, placed it on the street, and let it explode in its paws.
"This is like that viral Youtube video where someone substituted a house cat for Godzilla against King Kong. Did you see that video?" Kara asked Mxyz.
"I did, indeed," he smiled. "Only that video's use of practical effects and green screen is more convincing than this CGI monstrosity Nyxly came up with."
"True...true," Kara agreed.
"Everybody stand back. I'm going to send it into the dream world," Nia said as she created a portal near the cat. She used an energy cable to drag the cat towards the portal. The cat wasn't budging and pulled Nia towards her own portal.
"Nia, don't be rash," Brainiac 5 said half-heartedly.
"I have to fix this," Nia said passionately as she struggled against the uncooperative giant cat.
"Make the cat mortal, please," Kara requested of Mxyz.
"As you wish," he said snapping his fingers.
Kara then fired on the cat with her heat vision blasting it to pieces. "That's really gross," Nia said as she was really close to the blast.
Back at the Tower, Nia was in panic mode. "I have to tell her," Nia said to Brainiac 5.
"Tell me what?" Kara asked as she entered the Tower.
"That I'm sorry I fucked up, today," Nia said avoiding the bigger issue.
"Do better," Kara said condescendingly. "I won't be around forever to save your ass."
"I let Nyxly attack you without warning so I could see my mother for twenty-four hours," Nia admitted. "She offered me a deal. I didn't know what she was capable of. And I know it was so selfish and you can't forgive me."
"Nyxly told me of your epic betrayal a week ago," Kara advanced on her. "It would have pissed me off a little if your intention was to take me out, but it wasn't. You have a great passion for your mother. Through passion, you gain strength. Through strength, you gain power. Through power, you gain victory. Through victory, your chains are broken. Your passion shall set you free," Kara taught.
"I just wish I could fix this," Nia lamented.
"How do you feel about being a decoy?" Kara asked her.
Kara and Nia entered the lab where they were testing the anti-magic cuffs on Mxyz's clone. "What if we use the image inducer to fool Nyxly into thinking Nia is Mxyz?" Kara suggested. "We'll go to the park alone and then cuff her ass."
"It won't work. Nyxly will know Nia is not me. An image inducer can't fool fifth-dimensional senses. She can sense whatever can be imagined," Myxz reminded her.
"Well...shit," Kara said stumped. "Mxyz, let's go. We'll do this, ourselves."
In the park, Kara and Mxyz walked into the open. "Nyxly, show yourself. I don't have all day," Kara said impatiently.
Nyxly then appeared in a flash with a gauntlet on her hand. "It's about time. Three hundred thousand years ago, I thought you were my friend. You assured me you would support me in overthrowing our father. After my plot failed, I was certain he would come to my defense. But you saw how the wind was blowing and crawled back into the ranks. You only care about yourself," Nyxly accused.
"I was merely testing you on behalf of the king," Mxyz said defensively.
"Liar," Nyxly spat and then unleashed a dragon onto the field. The dragon took flight, flew around the city, and then fired Kryptonite flames down on Kara. Mxyz materialized a spear and threw it at the dragon. The spear gutted the dragon and caused it to crash in the park.
"How you are fallen from heaven, how you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations. For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of the king; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.' Yet you shall be brought down to Hell, to the lowest depths of the Pit," Mxyz mocked.
The two fired beams at each other with a power level that stunned Kara. Occasionally, static electricity would spark off the beams hitting Kara and devastating her. "Stay back," Mxyz warned Kara.
Nyxly laughed as she formed a snake of pure fire. Mxyz pushed the snake back on Nyxly with the wind nearly consuming her in her own fire. Nxyzly extinguished her own snake just in time. Mxyz placed a bubble of water around Nxyly to trap her. After a brief struggle, Nxyly collapsed the water bubble and materialized millions of shards of lethal glass towards Mxyz and Kara. Mxyz put his hand up and turned the glass into harmless sand.
Hank, Nia, and Brainiac 5 arrived on the scene to assist. Hank tried to attack Nyxly with a psychic attack while Nia distracted her with a portal to the dream world. There was a sudden vibration in the air as Mon suddenly appeared behind Nyxly. Faster than the speed of thought, Mon placed the handcuff on her and then withdrew. Upon seeing the opening, Kara fired heat vision into Nyxly's heart, shattering her into nothing.
"You didn't even attempt to reach her and try to persuade her to do the right thing as she held your universe hostage," Mxyz mused.
"Not my style," Kara shook her head.
"What about appealing to the good in everyone?" Mxyz asked.
"I don't judge people. I just send them to God's courtroom," Kara smirked.
"That's my girl," Mxyz said giving her a fist bump. "We'll be following your career with great interest," he said as he disappeared.
At the Tower, Nia suddenly awoke with a start. "What is it?" Hank questioned her.
"It's Nyxly. She's alive," she revealed. "She's a grotesque-looking baby in some guy's arms in a dark forest."
"Do you have a problem killing an evil devil baby?" Kara asked Mon.
"None at all," he assured her.
"Then, it's settled. No holding back," Kara said resolved.
