Star Adventure Part 2

[Kronium Station 07 : 08/01/1995]

POV : Superman

Xemnu, I remember seeing him in a clip of the shitty cartoon Hulk and his companions, as far as I remember, he's a cosmic warrior who challenges the strongest on every planet to a fight.

"Come on!!, there's no one?!" He kept screaming.

"Ok...stay here and I'll take care of it." Nova said as he got ready, but I stopped him in his tracks.

"Let me handle this one, I think you'd do more damage to the place in the fight than he would alone." I say listening to my gut, he just shrugged and accepted.The aliens made way for me to pass, Xemnu stopped screaming and the furball looked at me smiling, he seemed to really enjoy fighting with the others.

"Oh what do we have here!!, a living Kryptonian!!" Everyone seems to know the symbol of house El on my chest, it makes me wonder what my people did to become so famous and that fame lasts after their self-imposed exile.

"I believe you will only stop this criminal act if someone challenges you right?" I asked calmly, he simply nodded in acceptance.

"Very well, I dare you there." I say clenching my fists.

He smiled and walked over to me, he must have been ten feet tall, I had to look up to meet his eyes.

"I will crush you, little Kryptonian." He smiled and then punched me.

The fist made contact with my face, sending out a shock wave that knocked most of the aliens close by, but there was another sound, the sound of something snapping.

"AHHHRGH!!" Xenmu roared as he held his broken hand.

"Does it survive in space?" I asked Nova he was surprised.

"Boy, I've seen people with glass jaws, but this is the first time I've seen a steel jaw, yes he can survive in space, and he already has a security squad coming to get him." He said as he received information from the helmet.

Smiling, I went to Xenmu and grabbed him by the thick mustache, he was at my level of vision so I headbutted him, then quickly turned and sent him through an entrance sending him out of the station, close to the security ships that were arriving.

"Now where should we go?" I asked Nova.

He then took us through the station, it was a variety of life forms, but the strange thing is that most were carbon based and breathed oxygen at different levels of need.

"I also found it strange at first, but from what little I know, millions of years from Earth's perspective, there was a race that dominated a good part of the cosmos, enslaving the others, after a furious battle, finally the Nova Troop defeated them all , banishing them." Nova explained.

"From there, the languages spoken were variations of the language of that empire, as for the fact that almost everyone breathes oxygen, most living beings have influence from the Celestials, making everyone more or less similar." That is indeed something to consider.

"Where are we?" I asked seeing that we were in a darker area.

"See an informant." Nova said simply.

"So...a Bad Cop and Good Cop thing?" I asked smiling.

"Something like!!" He said as his hands glowed blue.

[Condor's Base : 08/01/1995]

Nova exploded the gates of a huge warehouse, when the smoke cleared, several energy shots of different colors were targeting the heroes, but Nova had a force field around him and Superman was invulnerable.

The shots came from men who wore assorted costumes, but all had wings similar to Earth birds, not to mention dark pupil-less eyes, and fangs in their teeth.

Leading them was a member of the same species, larger than the rest and wearing a red suit with golden armlets on each hand, and its wings were black as coal.

"Cease fire men!!, you will only waste ammunition." He told the men that they stopped firing.

"Richard Rider, I sure remember saying that if I saw you again I'd have my claws piercing your heart, so what brings you to me." he asked Nova as he seemed to hold back from killing him.

"Come on Condor, you Avians are very sentimental, and don't make an idiot of yourself, you know what I want." Nova said as he deactivated the force field.

Condor just spat in response.

"If you want to know about your old partner, give it up, that bastard will probably destroy half a galaxy before one of the big shots decides to do something." He pulled out some kind of metal cigarette.

"Not if you help me find him, come on man your people will suffer too if he isn't stopped." Nova insisted.Condor sighed, blowing blue smoke.

"Last I heard of him, he was picking up the Builders, I think he went through Skrull space leaving a mess." He said as he sat down.

"Thanks, I won't forget this." Nova said.

"Best not to forget anyway, you Novas seem to have forgotten how to protect the weakest." Condor replied bitterly.

The two heroes left the warehouse without major problems.

"Who was he anyway?" Superman asked after all the confusion.

"A former Avian general who fell from grace after he lost the war against the Kree, his people were forced into the wildest and most unexplored areas of the cosmos." Nova said simply.

"But why does he hate you so much?" Superman asked raising an eyebrow.

"You know how it is, newbie boy, wanting a fight, in the process I ended up preventing his transition that guaranteed more resources for his people, I had to redeem myself later but the hurt continues." Nova said sighing.

"And now ?" Superman asked.

"We're going to have to go through Skrull space, it's going to be complicated due to the border fleet, but we'll manage." Nova said.

[Old Zone : 08/01/1995]

Far from where Superman and Nova were, in a forgotten region of the galaxy, Garthan Saal walked the surface of a barren and dead planet, around a species similar to cybernetic clams working on something.

"You got it?" asked one of the race members.

"Yes, I got it, are you done yet?" He asked turning to the huge metallic sphere that emitted a golden glow.

"Yes...we did, all it takes is one power source." The being replied.

"Fine, take it." He removed the helmet and handed it to the being, who went to his brothers.

They then placed the helmet in the heart of the massive device, causing it to come to life.

"It's connected to your brain synapses, it will follow your commands, and you'll have access to energy, but be careful, the weapon has an irreversible malfunction." One of the members said as all the others disappeared.

Garthan Saal frowned.

"And what is this defect?" Soon only member of that species was present.

"The flaw that even we Builders can't fix, the flaw in every weapon...the owner." And then he was gone, leaving Garthan Saal alone.

Lots of changes to some characters' backstory, however let me know if you have any suggestions.
