This is the last issue. It's very short because it just wraps up this story here. Enjoy!
Issue #8 The End (?)
"It's a new day at National City", the radio host just said as Kara tuned in.
"And looks like it's gonna be a very good day, that's what the sun is promising at least. Isn't that right, Danny?"
"That's absolutely right, Kristine. The forecast for the day says there won't be a single cloud in the sky over our beautiful city today and the temperature will go up to 90 degrees this afternoon."
Kara got ready for work. Bedroom to bathroom. Bathroom to kitchen and back to the bathroom. Purse and out the front door. During all that she listened to a few songs and the radio host complained about sweat stains that are gonna appear in inappropriate places today while the co-host wondered weather there are any appropriate places for sweat stains. As she heard that, Kara was grateful that kryptonians couldn't break a sweat that easily.
As she had just closed the door, Kara's phone rung. It was Alex.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Hi, Kara. Are you at work already?"
"No I'm just on my way there. Why?"
"You have to tell Miss Grant that you'll be late today, you need to get here now."
"What, what's going on?"
"It's about the spaceship of the Sterregoi. It's activating!"
"Activating how? Did Doctor Jones figure out how it works?"
"No, that's what makes this so creepy. The ship is acting on it's own. There are lights flashing and electricity running over it."
"Okay, I'll be there in five."
"Thank you. This just looks so unnerving."
On the way to the roof Kara called Winn and asked him to cover for her until she got to work. He reluctantly agreed to take her calls.
Then Supergirl flew over to the DEO.

Doctor Jones stood behind a monitor while she stared at the spaceship behind it with a concerned look. A few feet away was Alex, looking at the ship with a concerned expression on her face. At the wall next to her leaned Hank, looking concerned while observing the ship.
Then, as Kara opened the door, everyone startled up a bit like they had all been lost in their own thoughts.
"Hey, what's happened?" Kara asked them.
"See for yourself", Alex suggested and pointed at the ship. "Every once in a while it sets off a... oh yes, a spark like that".
And indeed, spark of electricity ran over the surface. It covered every part of the ship, then it disappeared again.
"I've seen that before", said Kara. "Maybe we'll find more if I just..." She walked towards the ship and placed a hand on it.
"Supergirl, wait!" Doctor Jones started but was cut off by a flash of light coming from the ship.
A thousand little sparks covered Supergirl's entire body, head to toe.
It made Supergirl jump in surprise but the sparks vanished again, as quickly as they had come. Kara walked a few steps back, just as the electricity sparks reappeared, but this time they covered the ring on the ship's top. Everyone stared in fascination as a small, orange light appeared in the center of the ring and grew bigger and bigger until it covered the entire ring in a pulsating, bright light.
"What on earth is that?" Alex wondered.
"Your guess is as good as mine", Doctor Jones replied. "But I do know that it uses an incredibly high amount of energy to do that."
"Hold on", Kara said. "There is something moving in the light".
Now they all saw it. Something manifested inside the circle. At first they could only make out the outlines but then it got clearer and clearer. It looked vaguely human, about 6 feet high and now they could make out arms and legs until the creature fully emerged and stepped out of the orange light.
It was an alien. The orange-brown skin gave no doubt about that. It was covered in a thick cloak of different colors: green, blue, yellow, purple, and red that all swirled into one another.
The man (at least he looked male to Kara) stood there, in a sacred position.
Then he spoke: "My warmest greetings to you all. My name is J'ahn Fére and I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time."

End of issue # 8
So that's it. J'ahn Fére is a teaser for a new fanfic I'm planning on writing. It will pick up the story just where I left it.
How did you like Superirl: Action Comics Volume 1 ? What improvements could be made for the next story (regarding the plot, building up suspense, and also grammar and repetitive spelling mistakes you might have found)? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this first fanfic of mine and stay tuned for stories to follow.
