Chapter 5: Why Things Go From Bad to Worse.
POV Lady Mystery (Alex Vier Brunestud / Mystic)
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
These words very well describe what just happened.
Albedo and Supergirl, guided by their emotions and good intentions, freed the clones, my cloned daughter and the cloned son of Superman.
In an ideal world, cloned relatives would be grateful and would join us.
But we live in a strange, crazy and above all imperfect world.
Once the clones awakened they attacked mercilessly.
Superboy as if he were a ferocious wolf lashes out at Supergirl and Wonder Girl, but not before knocking out Robin as a single punch, sending him into a wall.
Apparently every time I or one of my alter egos get close to Robin, he suffers an injury or is hit by bad luck.
The last daughter of Kryptoni and the daughter of Zeus against a laboratory experiment started and finished by two different people, who will win?
I definitely don't care, Superboy is a secondary or even tertiary target, what matters to me is Zauber.
Perhaps this human and ephemeral form prevents me from using my full powers and seals almost all of my Servant-Vampore abilities, including my clairvoyance.
But that doesn't stop me from recognizing my own molecular manipulation or at least an altered version of it.
Zauber opened his right eye, showing a crimson eye with a vertical pupil resembling a snake or a dragon.
" Remove !" My cloned daughter screamed ... her first words ... I don't know if I should feel disgusted and angry or happy and proud.
I have to come later. He deals with how I should feel about him. He began to understand why Arturia Pendragon treated Mordred so badly.
I can feel that when she broke free of her capsule, her body altered the molecules or / and atoms around her to create an armor of lightning.
'I was once able to create invisible armor around the body using nitrogen in the air, but a lightning armor combines offense and defense, giving a solid method of defense and enhancing strength and speed.' I thought, analyzing my daughter's powers and comparing them to mine, looking for similarities and oddities.
Zauber sprints in a straight line aiming at Albedo, leaving behind a trail of golden lightning.
I would have jumped in a hurry to help her, the reason I'm here, disguised / turned into a woman is to stay close and protect Albedo.
But Zauber is full of surprises it seems, at the same time in here she ran towards Albedo. I don't know how, he created a mountain of swords that emerge from the ground.
In an instant, several dozen blades the size of a grown man exploded from the ground, trying to impale me, Gray, and the rest of the young heroes.
By activating my Magical Circuits, I used Advanced Reinforcement on my body, empowering every single tissue, organ and bone in my body.
Did I spend a few seconds longer than expected, is my real body less flesh and frailty, and more metal? diamond? bio-diamond?
Whatever I'm made of here is enormously more resilient, which allows me to use Advanced Reinforcement deeper and without fear of blowing up something important.
However, I'm at a good enough level to jump back and dodge the blades emerging from the ground.
My acrobatic maneuver brought me close to Gray, Acqualad and ... Kid Flash, how it is possible that the fastest idiot in the world is not thrown into the fray to get his legs broken is a mystery.
I would have run to help Albedo handle Zauber, but the swords and blades kept popping up.
From the floor and ceiling, blades, swords, knives emerged.
These metal blades have grown in size, forming a huge wall of swords that divided the room in two.
Now, Albedo is trapped alone with a hybrid of four magical super-races, with Akasha knowing unknown and deadly powers.
Taking a look at Gray and Acqualad, I saw two people from here I can rely on.
My first and only student, Gray Pendragon, the last descendant of King Arthur, destined to find the lost relics, Excalibur and Avalon.
A kitten without self-confidence, which will one day become a force to be reckoned with. It is now a glass cannon that needs to be stormed with care.
Acqualad, the third oldest of the group, trained by the military forces of Atlandite and Acquaman.
The more mature, a good head, his sword skills and water magic are slightly above average. A soldier and a shield to allow Gray to shine.
Finally, Kid Flash aka Wally is Wally, a living walking diversion.
"Kid Flash, go help Supergirl and Wonder Girl, they don't want to hurt Superboy, but he doesn't grant the same privilege.
Help them defeat him by making openings in his guard. Use hit-and-run tactics, if that's not enough just open his mouth and start talking, you'll surely drive him mad with anger. ' I said, giving orders to Kid Flash, pointing to the fight between Supergirl and Wonder Girl VS Superboy.
Superboy's cloned son must have been improved by the new direct, because he seems to stand up to or even defeat Supergirl and Wonder Girl.
'Later I have to completely read the file about Superboy and how it was created.
It is perhaps learning Absolute Reinforcement as soon as possible, which allows me to Reinforce every molecule in part of my body, not just the tissues and cells.
Better Reinforcement will be useful if I have to fight regularly with Superman's son or someone with similar power. ' I thought, pretty sure that in the future I will have to fight many super-beings and titanic monsters.
"Got it, I'm going to help the blonde beauties, the nudist princess of swords and yours." Kid Flash said, rushing to help her blonde teammates handle Superboy.
"Gray, get your scythe ready, if you need to take out your spear and use it to the fullest extent you can." I warned Gray to prepare his magical weapon and if things get ugly to use, Rhongomyniad: The Lance that Shines to the Ends of the World.
While Gray hasn't learned how to use Rhongomyniad yet, his simple raw power is enough to defeat most threats, as well as destroying the entire Cadmus along with anyone who doesn't have A-rank magic resist.
"Teach, it's not excessive to use the Holy Spear in such a place, underground." Gray said, reluctant to use his magical weapon, it's good, Rhongomyniad is incredibly dangerous but ...
"Better to die buried than to die vivisected in a laboratory." I said, convinced that it is preferable to use Rhongomyniad is to make a mess comparable to an atomic bomb instead of being captured and used to create an army of clones.
What if somehow the creator of Superboy and Zauber manages to somehow replicate the power of Rhongomyniad or worse, destroy Rhongomyniad.
It would be a planetary portion disaster, Rhongomyniad is a storm anchor that fixes the planet together, as its main body, existing to ensure the stability of the world.
Originally, this Sacred Spear is a "pillar of light" that fixes the two parts of the world itself: the outer layer of the world (reality) and the reverse of the world (illusion). It has been said that in the unlikely event that this is undone, reality will be ripped from the surface of the world to reveal the reverse of the world, evoking the Age of the Gods, allowing Divine Beasts and other creatures to return to the modern world.
"Acqualad, protect Gray until his magic is ready, I'm going to help Albedo." I said, trying to think of a terrible scenario involving the breaking of
Rhongomyniad.
Before I could take three steps towards the wall of swords, it exploded into a thousand shards of metal.
Then I saw three things that made me mad.
One, Albedo, my cousin who is an older sister to me and almost certainly my best friend, knocked down with several injuries on her body.
Two, Zauber, with a sort of magical / electric energy arm, are holding two short sabers, one white and one black.
Three, behind Zauber the space around him deformed into a haze, in the next instant, the glow of splendid blades began to escape from the empty space.
There are bare blades and spears. Each of them is decorated with eye-catching ornaments and emits fierce magical power. It is clear that they are not ordinary weapons but noble ghosts.
'Ce naiba, fica mea, poate prima puterile lui EMIYA și a lui Gilgamesh, iar ieu nu (What the hell, my daughter, can receive the powers of EMIYA and Gilgamesh, but not me)' I shouted mental, clenching my fists not accepting that someone else can receive the powers of my two favorite Heroic Spirits.

"Eliminate ... exterminate ... hybrids kneeling before your king ... they are the bone of my sword ... Enduku ... ▄▃▂▄▅▅▉▉ !" Zauber screamed, holding his head in his hands in pain as his magical power went mad worse than any Berserker.
Zauber's body begins to mutate, swords begin to sprout all over his body. His muscles become micro swords and he begins to sprout blade wings on his back.
Her white hair appears to be made of pins and needles, resembling some kind of metallic hedgehog.
Hundreds of metal objects came out of the walls, ceiling, floor - blades, beams, blushes, sheets, pipes, spears, needles, etc.
To not be enough the Gate of Babylon is going crazy starting to randomly create golden portals and shoot random objects.
"I'm not cursed, I'm damned cursed." She murmured Lady Mystery, seeing what kind of death trap she found herself in.
'It seems like I have to play cunning and bring out my newest and most exotic toys.' Lady Mystery thought, deciding how to proceed in this chaotic scenario.
XXX
Zauber, the priority project of Cadmus, a clone and a homunculus, created with DNA samples taken from Alex Vier Brunestud, a creature half vampire and half Servant, later perfected with secret methods to give him the attribute of a True Ancestor and the power of the Servants.
But there is a design problem, Zauber is an incomplete copy.
Even though Cadmus' new direct managed to obtain the DNA of a Servant, and create a body capable of the feats of a Servant, recreating the spiritual side is a completely different thing.
The result Zauber's body can contain and use the power of a Servant, but his soul cannot support the presence of the Servants.
Alex Vier Brunestud manages to support the power / essence / memories of Seven different Servants, because he has been implanted with seven Class Cards which contain the bare minimum without the ego and consciousness of the Heroic Spirits, all in a slow process that is not completely finished even after a full year from the plant.
But Zauber raised and designed in a glass tube was filled with the full power of the Servants. Including ego, memories, conscience, ideals, all in too short a time.
It is now that Zauber has added to the power of a couple of these Servants, his soul is collapsing, his mind is going crazy, his body won't last long, if someone doesn't do something.
XXX
Kid Flash is normally the laid back, playful kid, but when he's in a wacky underground lab, locked away with two OP clones ... Kid Flash knows when to stop messing around too.
Noticing the huge number of sharp objects coming all over the place, Kid Flash tried to use his super speed to gather his team in one place.
Keyword tried, after approaching the fainted Robin, time seems to have stopped.
No. In truth, it has stopped, not the flow of time, but its own body.
Just before he lifted Robin, his limbs, shoulders and abdomen were wrapped in a hard chain.
Enkidu - the secret among the secrets contained in the vault of the King of Heroes. The moderation that has also captured the Bull of Heaven.
This same fate befell Superboy, Supergirl, Wonder Girl, Acqualad and Gray.
The only ones who weren't pinned down were Albedo and Robin who were knocked out for months, being spared because they are no longer considered a threat by Zauber.
"Where Lady Mystery disappeared, a moment ago she was right in front of us." Acqualad asked, seeing nowhere False Valkyria, did she run away?
At the moment it doesn't matter to Acqualad, he and his friends are trapped by this strange chain and the hundreds of weapons are about to hit him full.
At the last moment, the thousands of swords and metal weapons stopped within an inch of the skin of the young superheroes.
Zauber after his inhuman scream and the invocation of the divine chains seems to have temporarily "stabilized", with a gesture of the hands, some of the swords have tilted, forming a path for the queen of swords.
"You understand, no one cannot defeat the goddess queen of swords and heroes! Prepare to die in the presence of the strongest hero!" Proclaimed Zauber, beginning to speak as a sort of parody of Gilgamesh.
Interrupting his final attack at the last moment to brag to helpless enemies, pure arrogance combined with inexperience and stupidity.
"Why did you imprison me we are on the same side!" Superboy yelled, creating to break free, unsuccessfully, the divine chain is too strong to be spun by Superboy's strength.
"Servant, do not dare to raise your queen, I let you serve me and fight for me against these midges. But you are too slow, shut up and see how your queen shows you how to defeat the enemy." Zauber said, preparing the coup de grace, not noticing that her silver hair is turning slightly golden.
Apparently the remnants of Gilgamesh's soul are taking over, stabilizing Zauber, but by overwriting his "internal systems", can his body withstand such an action?
"Have you ever heard this saying: Pride before the fall." She declared Lady Mystery, appearing before Zauber, holding an unusual weapon, a 55-inch nail with a wide circumference, under her head a bright red scarf is tied.
When Zauber uttered the name Enkidu, Lady Mystery already knew that it is impossible to escape from these chains.
But to be chained, it must first be located, so the false Valkyria has used her armor to create a small bubble of energy that deflects light, granting invisibility.
Once invisible she stood still waiting for the perfect moment to strike with the weapon pulled out of its pocket size.
Using his free hand he hit Zauber in the face, who pure reflection invoked several golden portals around Lady Mystery, ready to pierce her with numerous legendary treasures.
"Too late, The Phoenix Wing: Rettenjo!" Cried Lady Mystery, activating the power of this nail-like weapon.
The effect was instantaneous, and the ceiling of the room collapses, crushing the young heroes and the two clones of Cadmus.
XXX
Before explaining what happened you have our protagonists and the power of that strange nail.
Here is a brief history lesson on magic and its historical eras.
The earliest known time period to the world itself was called: The age of the primordials, when the world was young and the human race is just born.
The two most powerful magi of the era are:
The Great Wizard Bezel, the first wizard of humanity, considered the very first magical user of the human race and perhaps the most powerful ever born.
Nine the Phantom aka Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury, historically known as the Great Wizard Nine, the most powerful witch in the world, the only one capable of beating Bezel.
The second time period was: The Age of the Gods, when the world followed laws based not on physics but on mystery.
This period is characterized by a greater proliferation of ghostly species and a greater interaction between deities and mortals
The most powerful wizards of this era are:
King Solomon, the King of the Magus, hence all FGO players know who he is and what he is capable of.
Aldan, a monstrously strong witch, her real name is not pronounceable to man, nicknamed the Daughter of Belialuin and Throat Boar.
The third period of time for the world: The age of the fairy, a mysterious period of history, few things are sane of this time.
The most formidable magical users of the fairy age are:
Zeref Dragneel, the dark wizard, historically regarded as the most evil wizard in history and the most infamous necromancer ever born.
Mavis Vermillion, nicknamed Fairy strategist, given her prodigious abilities in planning attack tactics and her enormous illusory and military skills.
The fourth age, The Age of Man, around AD 0, the Age of Gods and Fairies ended completely and the population of humanity grew explosively.
As the Earth obeys the law of the most prosperous species on its surface, the rules of the world have been completely changed from one that mainly obeys Mystery to one that mainly obeys physics.
The ghostly species ceded the surface of the Earth to humans and moved to the opposite side of the world, where mystery still thrives.
Towards the end of the age of the gods and the fairies the beginning of the age of man, the best two magical users are:
Merlinus Ambrosius or Merlin, Magus of Flowers, and his rival Morgan le Fay.
Around the middle of man's age, there are two wizards emerging in the east:
Hao Hagaromo, the most powerful Onmyoji in history.
Master Libel, a Japanese-born witch who combined Eastern and Western techniques to create a new magical system, considered a paladin-level sorceress.
Towards the end of the age of man the most powerful magus are the direct and deputy director of the Clock Tower:
The unnamed director, whom no one besides the deputy director and the 12 gentlemen have seen.
Barthomeloi Lorelei, The Queen: The Supreme Mage of the Present Era, known as one of the greatest modern magi.
The current age we are in here, known as the fifth period, the age of wonders.
In 1999 the magic was dying, getting weaker and weaker.
But a mysterious event happened in 2000, the magic and the mystery have risen.
Consequently, Spirits, Gods, ghostly creatures etc. have reappeared.
A side effect is the appearance of superheroes and supervillains.
This era is still in its infancy, barely a decade since it began.
But the most powerful magus of this second age of the gods are the 10 Riesen Weltklasse Zauberer, considered by all without doubt, the 10 most powerful practitioners of the mystical arts.
Among them it has not yet been established who is the most powerful Magus of this age.
The existence of the primeval age is unknown to all, except for two people:
Lady Mystery who is actually Alex Vier Brunestud, number four of the Riesen Weltklasse Zauberer and one of the main protagonists of this story.
He has uncovered all the information mentioned earlier by Rachel Alucard, the sixth of the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, nicknamed, Akasha Watcher or True Ancestors Prototype.
Considered by all vampires as the oldest of them all, living on earth before the appearance of humanity, who does not believe it ... well there is evidence that she lived at least 72,500 years, but how old is actually a mystery.
The only certain thing is that she is a powerful and ancient vampire in possession of a vast collection of treasures, which she has never shown or / and given to anyone but Alex Vier Brunestud.
Months ago Alex Vier Brunestud met Rachel Alucard, thanks to Zelretch and Marem Solomon, after some events Rachel loaned some of her treasures.
The Nox Nyctores created by Nine the Phantom aka Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury, the first and most powerful witch ever born in this world.
The Nox Nyctores used by Lady Mystery was The Phoenix Wing: Rettenjo, its full power is to stop the world's flow of magic and destroy the other Nox that exist.
But Lady Mystery not being her true master can use a small portion of her abilities.
Clean the area designated by magic and seal the enemy's magical force for a short period of time.
This ability is perfect for blocking access to the Gate of Babylon and its vast arsenal of Noble Ghosts.
But he took away the magic present in the invoked swords from the ground and ceiling as a result the laws of physics came into effect.
Several tons of swords anchored to the ceiling + gravity = The ceiling does not support the weight and collapses on the protagonists.
XXX
Returning to history.
Cadmus' secret laboratory, used to create Zauber and Superboy, was destroyed by an avalanche of debris and thousands of fragments of broken swords.
Destroying all kinds of equipment and burying all the people in the debris or maybe not.
Each hero was overwhelmed by the rapid change of events. One moment a fight between clones, then rain of swords and weapons sprout from the ground like mushrooms, they are chained and saved by Lady Mystery, but the ceiling collapses.
It is when they open their eyes, expecting to be buried in the rubble, they find themselves more or less unscathed with strange dolls in front of them.
With Supergirl and Wonder Woman there is a large purple doll 195 cm high. It has a decidedly feminine look. Her face is gray with soft features, soulless eyes and a large crack above her left eye.
Atop her metallic blonde hair rests a large purple hat with a ring that pierces the left side. The arms are long and thin with its thin nails at the end of each arm. Under her metallic dress are small, slender legs that end flat, with no feet.
Next to the passed out Robin and Kid Flash there is a doll is 209 cm tall with a large red dress and a decidedly feminine appearance.
His gray face has piercing blue eyes with a singular crack on the left one, his face is framed by blond hair and on top he rests a round hat with an 'X' on the front. There are two rings that pierce this hat and two large 'ears' detach from it, dangling to the ground and filled with various weapons. His arms have large rings around his shoulders and his hands are sharp blades.
Acqualad and Gray were also protected by a strange canister, especially Gray who is in the arms of the bride-style doll.
The latest tank has a steely complexion, metallic black hair and bright red eyes.
Her figure is decidedly feminine with notable breasts and hips. Her shoulders are pure black while her torso, arms and thighs are the same steely color as her face. The rest of the legs and sleeves are darker gray.
There is a large metal hat on top of the doll's head and from its back protrudes a large thick wire with a thorn on the back.
The cylinder has four arms. The first pair is elegant and man-like with delicate hands, but the second has thick wrists and large, thick hands; above these wrists are large brass-colored plates with the words "ES Embryo Storage No 03" inscribed on them.
The clavicle and flanks of are brass-colored plates.
"In the name of Zeus ..." Wonder Girl began.
"In the name of the speedforce ..." Kid Flash said, taking Robin in his arms.
"By the trident of Poseidon ..." Acqualad said as he looks around noticing his partially uninjured friends.
" ... What happened !?" They said the rider, the sprinter and the fish man.
"Teacher, teacher, where did you teach !?" Gray shouted, not seeing Lady Mystery anywhere.
Supergirl wastes no time using her X-ray vision, and looking for her teammate who is surely buried in the rubble along with Albedo.
XXX
A few minutes ago.
'The plan worked, the Babylon Gate was put out of use. But the collapse of the ceiling does not enter the floors.
The only ones who can survive have tons of rubble falling on them are Supergirl and Wonder Girl.
No, only Supergirl, Wonder Girl is a demigod, magic is part of her existence, her powers will be weakened or even canceled.
The rest of the group is in danger of being crushed, I have to do something! ' Lady Mystery thought, watching how everything falls apart.
Learning the magic of the Atlas Alchemists: Acceleration of thought and partition of memory, have never been more useful as on this occasion.
Perhaps her current form prevents her from moving at her usual superhuman speed, but her mind has no such limitations, especially when empowered by two spells:
The acceleration of thought is the main magic of the Atlas alchemists. Fast thinking is only a prerequisite, and it is truly the ability of multi-expansion diagrams. The acceleration of thought is the test of an alchemist, while the partition of memory is a test of their structures.
Memory partition is a skill used by Atlas' higher alchemists. Coupled with the acceleration of thought, the very proof that one is an alchemist of the Atlas is the ability to divide their thoughts to form multiple independent thought processes. While normal people may only have one "room" in their brain and focus on one thought, partitioning adds partitions to the one room to create more rooms. The prerequisite for Atlas' superior alchemists is at least three rooms.
It is different from having multiple independent machines in mind because, while there are multiple processes, they work towards one goal. They handle different sets of problems, but work together to generate a global solution. While machines can calculate at the same level, nothing else can compare when used for troubleshooting.
With these spells running, the speed of thought is so high that the rest of the world including her own body seems to be going in slow motion.
"Nirvana, Ignis, Minerva, save the idiots from the rubble" Lady Mystery ordered, immediately three cracks appeared in mid-air around her, three huge dolls came out of the space-time cracks and ran towards the young heroes.
While the machines summoned save the companions. Lady Mystery simply ran over to Albedo, and wraps herself around the unconscious girl, her arms wrapping protectively as she strengthened her entire body to its maximum potential ...
... Allowing all the rubble, beams, concrete and debris to fall on her.
XXX
Here I'm
'In Akasha's name it hurts, this human woman's body isn't as tough as my half-vampire body.
Personal note, invest more resources in researching a dragon.
Once you find a fire-breathing reptile comparable to Godzilla, kill it, then soak in its blood and eat its heart.
You gain a new magical core, invulnerable skin, and perhaps dragon magic. ' Lady Mystery thought, trying to keep her mind busy and not think about the rubble that could hit Albedo, if she moves an inch.
'What not to do for the girls I love, falsified a new entity, I change shape and gender, I infiltrate the ranks of the Justice League, Finally I use my own body as a shield. All this because I want my cousin / surrogate sister to be safe and happy. 'Lady Mystery thought, with a bittersweet look at Albedo.
"How can you lose against Zauber, sure Gate of Babylon is OP, but you are OP too, you should have resisted much longer.
Surely your good heart gets in your way, the enemy is a child created to kill, daughter of your dear brother.
Sometimes I don't support your benevolent saintly nature, but I think that's your strong point. "Lady Mystery thought, noting that Albedo's wounds are already healing, her Demi-Servant powers seem to be unaffected by the Nox Nyctores, Phoenix Wing: Rettenjo.
XXX
"Where am I ?" Albedo muttered, waking up and finding himself in a dark place and that something is wrapped around her. It was almost as if she were being held by the darkness itself, a tight grip.
Albedo tries to move but every time he does, he can feel the aggravating vibrations of the ground. The more he moved, the more vibrations occur.
"What was going on?" Albedo said, confused about how she got here.
"Thanks to Akasha, you woke up, that means we can get out of here in no time." An unknown female voice said.
The sudden rumor causes a thrill of surprise in Albedo, however, that wasn't what's truly shocking. But the simple closeness, how close the voice was to the ear.
'Someone covering me. A stranger is incredibly close to my body! 'Albedo thought, imagining worst-case scenarios and panicking.
Albedo can enter a burning building ready to collapse to save a child without hesitation or blink, but handling men and close physical contact ... it's hard for her.
Albedo began wrestling and writhing, hoping to free himself from the stranger's grasp, and as he did so, the vibrations around them amplified.
"Calm down, Albedo! I am Lady Mystery and we are in Cadmus, you remember, dungeon full of monsters, two bosses created from the blood of Superman and Mystic." Lady Mystery warned, trying to calm Albedo, who slowly begins to remember.
"Things got out of hand!" Albedo said the obvious, sighing for a moment.
'Usually this kind of thing only happens when Alex is around.' Albedo thought, remembering that every visit from his surrogate brother and is followed by big problems with supervillains, aliens or something magical.
"We can say yes, but at least we are alive, with all the limbs attached to the torso." Commented Lady Mystery, they look to the arms, to date some of his greatest adventures / battles / misfortunes have cost him an arm or a leg, if it weren't for his healing factor ... he would need to mechanical prostheses for 3 out of 4 limbs.
"You have a plan to get out." Albedo asked, not wanting to hang on to Lady Mystery all day.
"Now that you are awake, can we ..." When Lady Mystery is about to tell her plan, an outside force lifts the rubble and throws it away.
Lady Mystery and Albedo looked up to see Supergirl, Wonder Girl and three life-size puppets clearing the rubble.
"We are interposing something
lovebirds, "Kid Flash joked, taking advantage of Albedo and Lady Mystery's compromising position.
"Actually, I defeat the queen of swords, then sacrifice my safety by sending my dolls to protect you from the rubble, that's my reward, silly pranks with a homosexual background." Lady Mystery declared, not too much in the mood for silly nonsense jokes.
The witch-valkyria stood up on her own and the first thing she did was run to her apprentice.
"Gray you're fine, something happened to you, a cut, a bruise, Kid Flash molested you." Asked Lady Mystery, inspecting King Arthur's last descendant.
"Taught, I'm fine, Minerva projected me from the rubble, and Kid Flash kept her hands at her house." Gray said, reassuring his teacher.
"Too bad, I wanted to order the dolls to tear Kid Flash apart." Lady Mystery commented, as the three dolls went around her.
"Your dolls are ... reliable." She asked Supergirl, not wanting to offend her new friend, but in her short superhero career the robots have never been very good, most of them tried to kill her along with Superman.
"I would have beautiful sayings, he asks me why the bad guys don't make cars like that, they would make the hero job more pleasing." Kid Flash said, appreciating the nice and very feminine aesthetics of the dolls.
"The girl in purple is Nirvana, the woman in red is Ignis, and finally the silver madame with four arms is Minerva. They are puppets of the highest level possible and more unique than rare, so don't salivate them or think weird about them. of them. "Lady Mystery said, giving introductions and looking at Kid Flash, who is trying not to stare at the porcelain beauties.
"Runes, hacking, wind and ice spells, now puppets, you are very skilled in magic." He complimented Albedo, maybe he doesn't know much about magic, but he knows how to recognize strength or talent.
"I am a witch prodigy, mistress of the five elements and future great puppeteer. One day superhero Touko Aozaki!" She declared Lady Mystery, with pride and a confident tone.
"Who is Tokuko Auzati?" Wonder Woman asked, killing the pronunciation of the Japanese name.
"Touko Aozaki is one of the most powerful magus in this world, undoubtedly recognized as the greatest puppeteer of this era, many of my brother here want to recruit or learn his secrets." Albedo explained, recalling this name from one of his brother's discussed magic lessons / lessons, lately half of what they talk about is about magic or magical women combining problems.
'A work in progress, Touko is an elusive woman, but I have managed to get in touch with her and am negotiating with her for some of her masterpieces.
It would be easier to take the knowledge out of his head, but he only sends his Doppelgänger puppets to argue.
Once her lair is located ... 'Lady Mystery thought, mentally noting to check the Louvre contacts on how their research on Touko, Avalon, Draghi ect is proceeding.
Before the heroes can stop arguing about frivolous things, and think about how to get out of Cadmus, trouble has appeared again
" ▄▃▂▄▅▅▉▉ ! " Inhumane screams have been heard, together with rubble blowing up, the clones are back and they are angry.
Superboy with eyes that glow red, his tights white and ruined, showing his naked torso, showing off his muscular chest and glowing red symbols.
Zauber without the influence of the Gate of Babylon has returned to his unstable self. As a Superboy his right eye glows red and his tattoos sparkle.
His left arm is now a jumble of sharp blades in the form of a monstrous arm.
Somehow her modesty is protected by locks of hair and sword scales.
"A moment of respite, I ask too much." Lady Mystery muttered, as she analyzes the enemy who is completely different from before.
'Zauber has gone mad again, and Superboy is in no better position. Cadmus must have put a Berserker program in them that increases their physical strength. But leave your mind under the command of an outside force, this means that enemy reinforcements are on the way. 'Lady Mystery thought, suddenly stiffening, already imagining her way through a flood of enemies and corpses.
'I can go through such a scenario, but the rest of them can't. We have to finish Zauber and Superboy as soon as possible, you can destroy the energy reactor and escape from here. If things get ugly, where to reveal my true form and use command seals to call in reinforcements. ' She thought Lady Mystery, invoking another dimensional purple slit and pulling out a katana with a blue sweat. The sword has a ceramic hilt, green metal handle and a metal pommel. The blade itself is made of permafrost.
"At least it can't get worse." Kid Flash said, urging the universe to throw shit on them.
As if by magic, the armored door of the devastated laboratory blew up, opening the way for a brigade of Genimorps. If that weren't enough, as many Cadmus monsters fell from the huge hole that used to be the ceiling.
"Kid Flash, if we run away alive he turned you into a marionette for target practice, or I ask Minerva to get you squeezed like a lemon." He threatened Lady Mystery, drawing out the sword ready for the world end.
"Superboy Berserker is mine.
Gray, Supergirl and Wonder Girl take Zauber and try to immobilize her I have something that could calm her down.
Albedo, Acqualad, Kid Flash, Nirvana and Ignis killed the monsters.
Minerva keeps the little sleeping sparrow safe and lends a helping hand to those in need. "She ordered Lady Mystery, before running to Superboy Berserker.
While the rest of the young heroes and the three puppets listen and obey the orders of the Witch-Valkyria
Go on ...
