As Chikasu, Kuraya and Sayuri recieved a recent later from David, they pondered on the current situation.
"It looks like things are starting to get serious." Kuraya said. She is a tall and slim woman in a dress with flowing light blonde hair.
"Yes. It would seem that it's not only Jedah we need to worry about, but Dragon of the Elements that have been targeting David and his friends as well." Chikasu said.
"Both threaten to destroy the entire multiverse and create one of their own making." Sayuri said.
"And with David being the cause of Water and Dark defecting, Dragon will no doubt prioritize his death above all else so that there won't be anyone to interfere." Kuraya said.
"We will need to enlist the aid of those who aided him, then. But they're all busy rebuilding what was damaged in the struggles or living their own successful lives." Sayuri said.
A thought then came to Chikasu's mind. "If an ally won't work, then we'll have to find...an enemy."
It wasn't long before the three travelled to the Injustice world.
"So, who are we hoping to find here?" Kuraya asked.
"After Brainiac's invasion, the people of this world are beginning to rebuild. The Justice League are busy keeping things in check in case Superman manages to escape from his prison in the Phantom Zone. Not only that, but the remainder of the Regime have been sent off to Universal Prison. Same goes for the Society, except for two people." Chikasu said.
"Two?" Kuraya said.
"Gorilla Grodd was already killed by Aquaman when David defeated Brainiac. That just leaves one other person." Chikasu said.
"Wait… You don't mean…" Sayuri said.
"Yes. Barbara Ann Minerva. Also known as Cheetah." Chikasu said.
"Are you sure you want her aid? Trusting her seems a little unwise." Kuraya said. "After all, David robbed her of the chance to take down Wonder Woman when she was sent to Universal Prison."
"I admit, trusting the fate of the multiverse to someone like her does seem like a very rash decision. But I'm sure she will cooperate once we tell her of David's situation." Chikasu said. "After all, hunters share a special kind of bond with each other. One born of competition. They seek to improve themselves by eliminating their quarry faster than their rivals. However, when a quarry becomes too big for one to tackle, they force themselves to work together. This is one of those situations where we must band together against a common threat."
"Even if we do find a way to convince her, it's pointless if we can't find her." Kuraya said.
"That's actually the easy part. Her dedication to the Goddess of the Hunt dictates that she makes tribute of the most powerful prey she can find. She'll come running if we stir things up a little." Sayuri said.
It didn't take long for them to find Emotionless terrorizing the city. Not just any Emotionless, though… These Emotionless are affiliated with Dragon.
"So, these are the Emotionless that have been making the news lately." Chikasu said as he dealt a massive blow to one of them.
"Yes, but it seems that these ones are diiferent from the others." Sayuri said as she blew an icy wind at some coming her way.
"I agree. It's weird that they'd have a different leader than originally." Kuraya said as she summoned lightning bolts.
The three of them soon found themselves surrounded by them. Just when they think this is the end, the Emotionless fall to a set of claws upon closer inspection, they see it was just who they were looking for.
"I couldn't but overhear you earlier." Cheetah said. "You wanted to see me for something?"
The three spent the next few minutes explaining to Cheetah about the situation.
"It seems the situation is worse than I initially thought." Cheetah said. "The first sign was how agitated those creatures were as of late."
"Yes. They don't seem to discriminate who they fight. Their only goal seems to be to eliminate all of life." Chikasu said grimacing.
"And then there is the return of Jedah Domah and how similar his goals are to this Dragon fellow that you mentioned." Cheetah said.
"That's why we need your help, Miss Minerva. As a huntress yourself, you know how these creatures operate and that knowledge would prove fruitful in the coming battle." Chikasu said.
"I could see where your son got his tongue from." Cheetah said. "But… I cannot cooperate."
"Even if the Goddess of the Hunt wills it?" Chikasu asked.
"She keeps telling me to...aid him in his endeavors against this Dragon." Cheetah said.
"It's called destiny, Cheetah. The Goddess is telling you to aid your rival." Kuraya said.
"We know that deep down, you do not wish for all of life to be destroyed. So please, even if you can't aid us directly, we would appreciate it if you can tell us how to weaken him." Sayuri said.
Cheetah thought about this for a moment. She had once been tricked by Gorilla Grodd into working for Brainiac, who sought to add this world to his collection. As much as she wanted to aid her rival in his fight against him, her pride couldn't bring her to do so. She has finally decided that he may need her help now more than ever.
"Those creatures called the Emotionless." Cheetah said. "He seemed fixated on making them his servants in this new plane of existence he is creating. As a former hero yourself, you should be able to divert his attention from your son if you pose enough of a threat. If it's true that Dragon considers him a major threat to his plans, then he will continue to send his forces to stop him from ruining his grand design. Keep fighting his Emotionless, and you will weaken his forces enough for your son to finally defeat him."
"Thank you. The information you've given us has proved most helpful." Kuraya said.
"I'm just trying to help him in his time of need. With Wonder Woman locked up in Universal Prison, he's the only form of competition that I have left. It would be a shame if he were to die so soon." Cheetah said.
"Well, good to see you care enough for his well being to tell us this. Don't worry. Your contribution will not be forgotten." Chikasu said as the three of them left.
"Well, that turned out to be easier than we thought." Kuraya said.
"See? What did I tell you? Hunters share a bond between each other as well. Okay, it's more of a professional relationship, but it's still a respectful bond." Chikasu said.
"In any case, we know how to weaken his forces significantly now." Sayuri said.
"Yes. And now the time has come for us to play our part." Chikasu said.
Cheetah could only watch with a smile on her face. "Ishihara… Your father is a courageous and well-respected man. I can see where you got your wits from." She looks up to the sky. "Even in the face of adversity, he decides to come out of retirement to stand and fight, just like you. You have both...earned my respect." Cheetah then got on all fours and hurried off in search of more creatures to hunt.
