Supergirl Z: The Growth and Maturation of a Superhero
Disclaimer: "Hello humans, my name is Maxwell Lord telling you that superspeeder doesn't own either us or the characters of Dragon Ball; they belong to the properties of their respective owners. If he did I wouldn't have creating a clone of Supergirl to deal with her or that monkey boyfriend of hers; I swear I will prove to the world that these aliens are threats!"
Me:In terms of Universe 6's Goku, I'm afraid that he's not coming back because he died Sage. HOWEVER, there will be a lot of mentioning of universe 7's Goku that will be known to the villains- to be more specific Cell- in regards to Maxwell Lord's "creation"(or whenever Supergirl features said creation as the villain of the week) so you have that to look forward to as Trunks will come under heavy questioning by his girlfriend in terms of his secrets! For now, you have more Wynn/Pan interaction to look forward to in particular when Toyman comes to town in the next episode of Supergirl!
Last time on Supergirl Z, Supreme Kai and Old Kai told King Kai and Baba about the events of Beerus, and Frieza and revealed that Beeru's brother Champa and his assistant Vados wants Trunks and Kara to participate in a tournament that would decide the faith of their universe's Earth! They also said that the tournament will happen 4 months from now and that things are different since the saiyans are alive in Trunk's universe and Champa had a hand in Kara's escape from Krypton! Furthermore Alice will be shocked when she finds out about the powers relating to Super-Saiyan God but for now, present events are what's really important. What will happen in terms of Astra's plan; will it succeed and what will be the consequences? How will both families react to the new relationship? How will Kara be able to convince her boss that she's not Supergirl without raising future suspicion from Cat?! Well all that will be answered RIGHT NOW ON DRAGON GIRL Z!
Chapter 18: Bonds that tie and keep us together!
Back to where we left Trunks, he and Kara had finished their make-out session with both warriors blushing red as a result. However, the time for rest was soon coming to an end as Bulma called Trunks and Kara back to Capsule Corps. Even though she was going to warn them about Astra's plan with Non, she decided to hold off on that for a few days in light of the news she joyously received from Bra that Trunks and Kara had finally buried the hatchet and became a couple. 'Alas to be young and in love again' Bulma thought to herself and over the next few days managed to keep the photo of them kissing away from Trunks while simultaneously showing the picture to the rest of the Z fighters and stashing it away for safe keeping in the sacred "Z Album". Pan and Bra were overcome were joy while Vegeta just ignored the photo; the most hilarious reactions came from Piccolo when he said "you know what, I can never understand the human concept of love". Bulma snorted in laughter and said "you and John are so similar when it comes to romantic love its almost scary Piccolo" and left before the Namekian could ask who this John person was.
Vegeta did tell her that the time for fun and games were over and that Astra would follow through on her plan; the only question was where was Non and his army would strike? Well they found that out when Non attacked Lord Industry on the day that Astra told Gohan the attack would occur. He and Alex initially led the counter assault with Kara following behind them afterwards(as she was somewhat distracted from her job thanks to Trunks!) When she got there she said "You're NON! Astra's husband and general"! "Ah Kara glad to see someone recognizes me" the general sneered in disgust due to his hatred towards Kara's mother. The two then proceeded to start to battle but then out of nowhere Trunks arrived(as he was made aware of Kara's Kai being in distress thanks to the growing power of their bond). "I wouldn't do that if I were you" he glared as Non currently had Supergirl in a choke-hold; "ah the monkey what an unexpected surprise" Non snarled angrily. "Whatever problems you have with Kara you can take up with me now" Trunks declared angrily; "ah so the daughter of Alura has a boyfriend this is a most unusual of development so I'll deal with you later" he said then before Trunks could move, Alex came on the scene and yelled "let him go![1]". Seeing that he was surrounded Non attacked Alex with his eye beam which caused Trunks to be distracted for a split second as he shouted "hit the deck" and shielded her from the attack. However that second was all Non needed as he took John's unconscious body-he took a hard hit from Non when Kara was in the choke-hold- and flew off!
Supergirl gathered to regain her breath "thanks for saving my life" Alex said; "no problem so that was Non huh?" Trunks said grateful that no one was hurt while at the same time cursing at his own lack of judgment with his relationship with Kara. "Yes" Kara replied for her sister and they all headed back to Lord's office(as it was the site of the attack)without Henshaw; once there she said(to Alex) "I'm sorry I couldn't stop them[2]". Trunks however was interested as to why Non chose to attack Lord's office and asked them "why do you think Non attacked here?" "Hard to say" Alex replied business like "only Max himself would know the reason." "Max?" Trunks whispered to Kara in confusion; "they worked together during the whole bomb threat...it's a long story" she replied sheepishly. "Max we need to secure the area, this is an active crime scene" Alex said diplomatically; "no" the mogul replied arrogantly; "this is my property". Trunks growled in anger in response to Lord's heartless words but restrained his emotions as Alex continued; "this attack has been traumatic for all of us. They kidnapped my commanding officer" she pleaded trying to make him see reason. However the Business tycoon dismissed Alex by saying "I think the days of us teaming up are over Agent Danvers." "At least tell us what the aliens were looking for" Trunks said trying his best not to lose his patience; "yea at least they can help us locate our man" Alex said in agreement. "Why don't you ask your pet alien?" he asked arrogantly to which Trunks thought 'is he talking about Kara or me' but his thoughts were silenced by Lord's final words of "as for me, I'll protect myself in the future; now get your jackboots off my grounds[3]."
Alex gasped in shock that Lord had handled the situation and her sisiter so coldly but Trunks silenced her shock when he said "that sort of person makes my skin crawl; if I were you Alex I wouldn't go to him for help anymore". "You're right Trunks" Alex replied sadly "all we can do now is try and regain my boss"; "I'll recruit my mom to help you guys; it's the least I can do to repay Hankshaw for keeping my secret and of course his approval" Trunks said and dialed home. "What's Trunks talking about Kara did something happen between you 2 that I don't know about" Alex asked as she wasn't aware of Trunks revelation of his love for her sister or the lengths he went through with Hank to get his approval to date her. "Oh something happened alright, but I'm not going to say what it is" Kara replied in a mischievous voice and despite the dire circumstances of their present situation, the two sisters couldn't help but laugh.
Trunks returned back to Capsule Corps and reported what had happened to Bulma to which the scientist asked "but why didn't Hank just transform into that Martian; it would've made things far easier than it had to be Trunks?" "My guess is that John doesn't think the time is right for him to reveal himself to Kara and frankly I agree; it should be a last resort sort of thing" Trunks theorized. Gohan(who was with Bulma) agreed asking "so what are we going to do? And who's in charge now?[4]" "I help Kara go after Non and his thugs, I don't know who's in charge it's all classified data after all" Trunks replied; Bulma smiled smugly and stated "I do, in case John 'died' or 'replaced' Alex is to take charge of the DEO[5]." "I have to admit Director Danvers is a catchy name" Gohan chuckled in an amused tone "but how do you know that mom?" Trunks asked skeptically. "I got him to confess in exchange for all the Oreo cookies the alien could eat" Bulma said smoothly; "wow mom, I never figured you for a smooth operator" Trunks joked.
Meanwhile Kara was trying to console her sister over the loss of Hank by saying "you must be so upset about losing Hank"; "he could hold his own" Alex replied confidently cryptically referring to his extraterrestrial origins as the last son of Mars. Kara didn't believe her saying "unless he has superpowers you're not telling me about we have to help him!" she replied. Alex looked uncomfortable as her sister unknowingly hit the nail on the head; however she was too caught up in trying to help Hank so she didn't notice Alex's discomfort. "Maybe I can get Astra to tell me why Non took him" Kara suggested; Alex was silent to which Kara asked "Do you have a better idea?" "Are you sure you're up for it" Alex asked remembering their last encounter "I saw how Astra affected you a week ago"; "Do we have a choice?"[5] Kara responded and taking Alex's silence as a 'no' went to interrogate Astra once again. At Capsule Corps, Bulma had been trying to fend off phone calls from Cat Grant as well as keeping an eye on what was going on with Max Lord and while she had little success fending off Cat Grant in regards to Kara's dual identity she also came to a shocking discovery about Lord(as to why Non attacked). Calling Gohan, she said "I think it's time someone exposed that slime ball; he's been undermining Kara ever since she first arrived in National City and now he's working on something behind the scenes. Even Vegeta suspects that Lord is up to something and he's a saiyan!"
"The problem is what we will do about Lord, we can't just ask Trunks to go full commando by busting down his doors and demanding an audience" Gohan joked re-fixing his glasses for the 10th time. "Well the only thing I could think of that can go in there is James Olsten and Wynn Shmitt and since Pan helped out James during their last scheme she can help bust what's going inside of Lord Industry wide open" Bulma suggested. "The only issue I have is that Pan and James will tell Trunks and Kara what is going on and believe me; Trunks is going to lose his mind when he finds out how much of a sleaze ball Max really is" Gohan replied in a worried tone. "Don't worry, I'll tell her not to say anything to Kara unless one of them loses their temper; besides she could help Kara's cause. After all Cat is onto Kara's dual identity as Supergirl thanks to Astra and I think Pan will help Kara convince Cat otherwise." "What makes you so sure?" Gohan inquired curiously; "well" Bulma replied; "Cat was ranting to me over the phone that either Kara 'proved to her that you are not Supergirl or you can clean out your desk tomorrow'[6]". "That sounds like an ultimatum to me and here I thought we had our hands full with Max, Non, and Astra" Gohan deadpanned but agreed to Bulma's plan not knowing how drastically things were going to turn out in relation to Pan's quasi-friendship with Winn.
Kara didn't know what was going on with her boss(until she met with her) as she was busy questioning Astra as to where Non took Hank. Although she brought the house against Astra-even going as far as threatening her aunt with Kal-El and Trunks- with Astra quibbling "neither Kal-El nor the boy have the stomach for it. They were raised on Planet Earth; they might as well be human"[7]. Supergirl scoffed as she knew that both Kal-El and Trunks(from what limited information that he told her thus far) had killed before so her aunt's statement was nothing more than a farce intending to rile her up. Astra continued by stating to Kara that "you are the true heir of the house of El"; "if you help me maybe I could help you" Supergirl offered Astra even though a small part of her loved that her aunt had called her the heir of the house of El. However Astra saw through Kara's ruse by saying "you're trying to manipulate my emotion. But your undermined by your own fear"; Kara refused to allow her Aunt's barb against her character affect her(as she remembered what Trunks had said about using what other people said as a tool to get stronger in the week they had been together).
"I'm not frightened of you" Kara declared reflecting her new found confidence to Astra; "Not of me" Astra said agreeing to her statement but continued "but of the truth I hold about your mother". "This has nothing to do with her; this is about saving a man's life" Kara scoffed disagreeing with her as she knew the truth-in terms from Trunks' story related by his father- rather than the whole picture (as Old Kai had told King Kai and Baba in Otherworld). She continued by declaring "my mother may have not been the woman that I thought she was, but I know what you and Non are!""Are you so certain of that? Did Non kill you today when he had the chance?" Astra questioned Kara. Seeing that Kara wasn't going to respond(although she was tempted to say that Trunks had stopped Non from choking her to death) Astra continued "I ordered him[Non] to spare you because blood bonds us all". "Those are empty words coming from you" Kara said sadly to which Astra contested by stating "if they were, you would not be alive."
Instead of replying tick for tat, Kara attempted a different strategy to get Astra to talk by asking "if blood bonds us all, then why don't you just tell me where Henshaw is?" "Because blood does not bond us to him[8] or Trunks for that matter" Astra replied in a cold voice. "I couldn't disagree more" Kara stated empathetically "all life is bonded by blood" she said lecturing Astra in the way Goku lectured Frieza during their first fight on Namek after he had turned super-saiyan. "You talk about your human family[9] and the saiyans; the ones who have caged me in here" Astra growled angrily; "you've done this to yourself" Kara replied as she knew that the Saiyans had no direct involvement in the decision to imprison Astra and Non by her mother Alura. Seeing that she couldn't win Astra asked(in a rhetorical manner) "so you've chosen your side"[10] and watched Kara walk out without any answers.
Astra then had a flashback to when she and Non were imprisoned in Fort Rozz by Alura; in fact she had used the same quote Astra used against Kara to try and make her sister see reason. However, Astra was convinced that Alura's Goku like way of thinking-that all people had good in them- was wrong and like Vegeta had thought for so many years, Astra too believed that the normal person was weak. Astra's only goal was to give her people the courage to save themselves, but it was Non who was truly delusional. He was convinced that Alura and Jor-El had already branded them as terrorists while she stood idly by watching her people face complete annihilation. Alura then said that Non's outrage would've been justified had not many people had died as a result of his delusional act and pulled the trigger which imprisoned Non inside of Fort Rozz(A/N which was soon to be followed by Astra but that part of the story will be told a little bit later).
Gohan told Pan that Kara's job was in danger thanks to Cat's suspicion and the encounter Trunks and Kara had with Max; "I agree with Bulma, something's definitely up with Max" she replied. Gohan ruffled her head and asked "so do you think you can help Wynn and James find out what's going on while Bulma and Trunks try and rescue John?" "Gladly" Pan replied seriously "John is allowing Trunks to go out with Kara the least we can do is save his life" and flew off to Catco. Thanks to her connections with Supergirl, Pan was allowed entry and went upstairs to the office; "hey guys did you get any news on what Max is up to?" "Wait what are you doing here Pan? Not that it's not nice to see you but how did you know about Max?" Wynn asked trying not to stutter. "Nice to see you too Wynn" Pan replied diplomatically then said "I know about what happened because Bulma has been looking into Max's dealing ever since that bomb threat." Kara looked at the two of them with a bit of interest; 'I think Wynn has a crush on Pan; he deserves to be happy with somebody even if it's not me' Kara thought warmly as she watched their interaction."That's not a surprise; he's been against Supergirl since day 1" James replied- interrupting Kara's train of thought- shaking his head but then the TV came on with Max Lord himself addressing the media.
"I'd like to address the rumors of an incident at Lord Technology" the mogul began his address; "oh this is going to be ugly"[11] Kara said sighing "I couldn't agree more" Pan added rolling her eyes in disgust. "We're the target of international espionage. Thankfully there was no causalities and those responsible have been apprehended thank you" Max said ending the conference before the reporters could ask any questions; "he's covering up the attack"[12] James said. "That's no surprise to me James, if anything it reminds me how my grandfather lied to the media" Pan noted remembering how Trunks had told her that Hercule had lied about the truth of the Cell Games from the Earthlings and that he had taken the credit away from Gohan and put it on himself. 'What the heck does Pan mean by that' Kara thought to herself but decided not to focus on Pan's statement by asking "what is he [Max] up to?" "Well let me see what I can find out" James offered; "No Way! NO! Max Lord is way too dangerous" Kara shouted disagreeing with James offer. "Hey I brushed up my press credentials; let me just talk to him and see what I can dig up" James replied trying his best to re-assure Kara.
Just then Kara heard Cat coming up the elevator (using her super-hearing) and nervously said "Ms. Grant's on her way up. Um..Uh today we have to seem really really normal. Like like not just normal-normal but super-normal" she said nervously. "Are you having a stroke?"[13] Wynn asked concerned by Kara's bizarre behavior; "Kara's not having a stroke Wynn" Pan replied then leaned over and whispered "Cat found out that she's Supergirl and Kara is freaking out!" "Wait CAT; she found out Kara is Supergirl?! Wynn replied trying not to shout; "yep Trunks told me, oh and before you say anything else I know Kara is Supergirl and she's cool with me knowing that" Pan replied smugly.
Winn's mouth opened in shock but was stopped by James' question of "is this what a stroke looks like?"[14] Kara replied "Ms. Grant thinks I'm Supergirl"[15] "told you!" Pan exclaimed in triumph. "WHAT?!" James shouted in disbelief; "I will handle it" Kara replied authoritatively which took Pan by surprise by Kara's assertiveness. "But if she sees us acting weird it's going to blow everything" she replied then tried to be 'normal' by heating up Cat's coffee, but she didn't have as much experience as her cousin Superman did as the coffee spilled all over the place as Kara tried to heat up the copy using her heat vision. Kara panicked and asked "what will we do?" "All right round 2 round 2[16]" James replied pouring Cat's replacement cup of coffee for Kara as he was able to keep his cool. However, Kara was so frazzled that she ran out without her glasses; Winn gave the glasses to James who proceeded to run after Kara. Pan couldn't help but laugh at Kara's predicament; "oh man" she said clutching her stomach trying to regain her breath "and here I thought the reaction to Vegeta was hilarious when he wore his pink shirt for the first time!""You act like this type of thing happens all the time" Wynn sweat-dropped; "not all the time but when it does its priceless!" Pan replied remembering the good times they had ever since everyone was re-united thanks to the Dragon Balls.
Meanwhile Trunks was at Capsule Corps training to make sure Non didn't have his way with Kara again; Vegeta noticed him training and stated "you sure are hell bent on protecting your woman boy; you're acting like a real saiyan!" "I let my new relationship with Kara cloud my judgment and now as a result of my indiscretion, John's life is in danger; I'm a failure!" Trunks said coldly. "You are not a failure boy" Vegeta replied surprising his son; "there are times that I could've acted to protect the Earth but didn't because I care about Bulma brat. The point is that although it's important to train to protect your woman, you must spend time with her as well; it's the only way that a bond between a saiyan and its mate will strengthen" Vegeta said wisely. 'Father's right' Trunks thought 'I can't be mad at myself simply because of the time that I spend with Kara; in fact other than when I first met Goku these last few days with her have been the best days of my life'. "Thanks for the advice dad it means a lot to me" Trunks said gratefully; "just don't repeat this conversation to anybody boy; I don't want it to be said that the Prince of Saiyans have grown soft" Vegeta growled. Trunks chuckled 'that's dad for you' he thought and exited the GR where his mother met him.
"There you are Trunks, I received a message from Alex asking you to come down to the DEO; she says it's urgent!" Bulma said worrying about the disturbing message Alex gave to her. "You better go boy, and remember Kara is your woman; protect her with your life!" Vegeta urged to which Trunks nodded and took off to the DEO. "What have you two been up to Vegeta? Trunks has been mad ever since that lieutenant abducted John?" Bulma asked trying to get the prince to spill the beans; "I just told him that there's more to a relationship than just blaming yourself for the abduction of their secret Martian ally" Vegeta responded vaguely. Bulma knew that this was the prince's bizarre way of saying 'I handled the situation' and kissed her husband "what was that for" Vegeta asked confused; "oh you know just my way of saying 'thanks'" Bulma replied sweetly getting back to work. "No matter how much time I spend with Bulma one thing's clear: women are such enigmas" [17] Vegeta grumbled and went back to the GR to train.
Trunks flew to the DEO and said to Alex "I got your message what's up"; suddenly Supergirl appeared out of nowhere with a meal from a food truck. "Kara what are you doing here?" Trunks asked surprised; "I know how my sister is when she's stressed out so I brought her a meal from a food truck she likes" she responded in a rushed matter. Alex didn't seemed surprised and asked "the one from Chicago?[Kara nods 'yes'](squealing) "you're my favorite person"[18]. "Ok that was totally awkward" Trunks muttered amazed by Kara's power of super-speed; he probably wouldn't be able to go to Chicago and back unless he used IT-although Gotenks once circled the globe as a Super-Saiyan so it was theoretically possible for a saiyan to go as fast(or even faster than Supergirl)- but of course Trunks didn't know that. In any case the computer buzzed to life as Lieutenant Non had an offer that would change the game. "This is Lieutenant Non of Krypton; we each posses someone of great value to the other; I propose a trade" he said. "This is acting director Alex Danvers; excuse me if I don't take you at your word. I need proof of life. I need to hear from Henshaw himself" Alex said sternly. Trunks watched the interaction trying to get a location of where Henshaw was located using his Ki sensing but with little success.
Non turned the camera to Henshaw who said "Director Danvers; congratulations on your promotion." Alex promised to bring him back safely but Non said that it would only happen if they do what he said. His offer? "I will return Henshaw unharmed if you return General Astra safely to me. You have 48 hours or your man dies!"[19] Trunks growled at the screen angrily and said "Non is playing us for fools! There is no way that he will honor that promise!" Kara looked at Trunks and said "we don't know that for sure but we have to save Hank no matter what." Trunks massaged his temples and said "I told you that sparing Astra will hurt you and unfortunately I was right; look Kara if you believe that there is good in Astra then I won't hurt her but Non is a man who I cannot trust."
"So what are you going to do?" Kara asked both Trunks and Alex; "If I turn down the deal Non kills Hank; if I go through with it, I free a criminal with the strength of you"[20] Alex replied in a grave voice. Trunks however dismissed Alex's concern about her claim about Non's strength and said "Alex I have shown your sister the full extent of my powers and I assure you that Non will be no match for me". "Is this true Kara?" Alex asked in a surprised tone; "yes, his gold form -which I have found out is the legendary Super-Saiyan Astra was scared of-gave Astra a hard time and he showed me that there was a power beyond it called Super-Saiyan 2" Kara explained remembering when Trunks had shown her the power-up. Alex was shocked that Astra had told the truth about the legendary Super-Saiyan but was interrupted by the presence of General Lane. He had taken over (via an executive order by the president himself) in Hank's absence and told them that he had a garrison of soldiers ready to retrieve Henshaw and bring him back. Trunks was surprised when Alex willingly handed the base to the general without a fight but 'then again, this is the same idiot that didn't exactly get along with Alex because of the Red Tornado incident' he thought to himself.
Meanwhile, James had got to Lord Industries and begun to take pictures; Winn and Pan were at the other end of the computer helping James break in. Even though Kara had warned them not to risk it, Pan never took no for an answer, so she spearheaded the operation with the help of James and Wynn. Wynn was impressed by Pan's act of open defiance against the girl of steel and asked her "how did you get this way?" "I guess I've always been like this even when I was younger; Trunks says I get it from my mom…" Pan responded trailing off into space. "I wonder what's she's like can you tell me about her?" Wynn asked; "I'm sorry" Pan responded tearfully "my father refuses to talk to me about her so I have no idea what her name is. I do know from Trunks that my mom was the youngest girl to win the Junior WMAT and that she was a crime fighter alongside my father calling herself 'Saiyangirl' to dads 'The Great Saiyanman'" she explained. Wynn pitied Pan(as her situation and his weren't that different) and handed her a tissue saying "it's the same with my dad Pan; I refuse to talk about him because he's nothing more than a criminal who has a thing for creating havoc using Toys; but enough about him I didn't know your father fought crime."
"He did although it was because the people needed someone to look up to things were really bad back then" Pan explained not mentioning the androids to Wynn however she did think to herself 'Wynn's father creates havoc using toys? What is he a Toyman?' However Pan's train of thought was interrupted by James: "How we're doing Wynn; feeling kind of exposed here" he said. "OK the alarms are disabled but I'm going to need a little more time with this lock bud" Wynn replied. "You're sure about the alarms?" James asked doubtfully; "yea of course he's sure[21] I double checked it you're clear James" Pan replied confidently. James then broke down the door but stopped: "Wynn we have a problem here" he said in a concerned voice. "Oh you can't kick down lasers?" Wynn dryly replied; "come on man help me out!" James pleaded. "Ok man only because you asked so politely"[22] Wynn relented and managed to get the lasers down. "Is the banter always like this between you two?" Pan asked after Wynn got the lasers down for James; "only where Kara is concerned it is" Wynn replied smoothly. 'It's a good thing Trunks is Kara's boyfriend and made peace with Wynn or Trunks would snap Wynn's neck if he heard him say that about Kara' Pan thought with a sweat-drop as she continued to monitor the situation.
James continued to advance through the building taking pictures when he came to a strange door; "wait hold on wait a minute" Wynn stammered "that is interesting". "What's interesting?" James asked; "Well all the other locks in Max's facility uses a keypad system but this one's a bio-diagnostic what?.." he replied to James. "That's odd" Pan commented agreeing with Wynn "considering that Capsule Corps is the only company that has that as part of their security system." "What does Capsule Corp use it for?" Wynn asked Pan curiously; "training" she replied simply "the bio-diagnostic identifies our DNA and allows us access to train in the GR". "Can you hack it?" James interrupted before Wynn could ask Pan another question; "no no James that's kind of the whole point. It's better than a finger print, a voice print a retinal scan..[James is knocked out] James are you still there"[23]. "Damn it" Pan cursed "I think James has been knocked out I can't get a read on his energy!" "What do you think is going on right now?" Wynn asked in a worried tone; "I think Max has him in his clutches right now more than likely he wants to "talk" with him" Pan stated seriously. "Let's hope that James can handle Max; we need answers!" Wynn exclaimed as they had another issue to worry about.
Trunks had left Kara and Alex and went back home after their conversation where Bulma met him "so did you find out what's going on?" she asked. "Non wants a trade-off John for Astra" Trunks replied; "sounds like they're playing with fire" Gohan commented to Trunks(as he was working with Bulma to plan their next move). "I know but it's the only way to get John back alive; who knows how long his Martian powers will last against Non?" Trunks replied worried. "I think he can stall Non and his army long enough for Alex and Kara to at least find their hiding spot" Bulma replied hopefully when the phone rang. "Speak of the devil, just as I was thinking of this something happened" Bulma said bemused; "who is it?"Trunks asked. "Director Danvers" Bulma replied mischievously; hearing Alex's name Trunks took the phone from his mother.
"Trunks? Astra gave up Non's location[24]; we're mobilizing now although it was a bit rough" she communicated to Trunks over the phone. "Where is he and what happened" Trunks asked seriously; "well General Lane tried to torture Astra into giving up the location using a Kryptonite syringe, but I was able to talk him out of it and Astra soon gave in anyway" Alex related to hybrid gravely recalling Lane's torture of Astra. "That's a pretty low move for someone who is supposed to be a leader" Trunks replied shaking his head in disdain; "I agree and Kara even told her that humans are supposed to be 'better than this' which I think is why Astra gave up Non's location" Alex replied. "So where's the point of our rendezvous?" Trunks asked; "I'll send you the coordinates; I called Kara as well and she insists on coming with me" Alex stated in a leader-like tone and hung up. "Looks like I'm going on alien retrieving duties" Trunks joked but Bulma replied by saying "be careful Trunks, it could be a trap." "Yea I wouldn't be surprised if it was a trap designed by Astra; still if there's a chance to save Hank we have to take it[25]" Trunks replied returning to a serious tone and after transforming into a super-saiyan took off to the coordinates Alex provided.
Landing there, Alex met him with the now transformed Supergirl landing immediately afterwards; seeing Kara's confusion Alex stated "I called Trunks in for insurance and backup; who knows what Non will do." Kara couldn't argue with her sister's statement and together all three went to break Hank out however upon getting there they found General Lane's squadron waiting! "General Supergirl and the boy are here!" a solider exclaimed; "WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING HERE" a clearly pissed off General Lane shouted "this is a human recovery mission!" "I called them!" Alex replied back shouting; "the containers are lined with lead, I can't see through them"[26] Kara panted out of breath. "Then allow me" Trunks replied calmly and using his Ki sensing he said "I sense two strong power-levels". "Whoa freaky" the soldier muttered; "you'll get used to it eventually" Kara deadpanned as Trunks had told her how Ki sensing worked during their time together as a couple.
Alex was baffled by Kara's statement 'I wonder what she means by you'll get used to it; I don't think I have even gotten my mind around the fact that Trunks is half alien' she thought to herself as the commanding soldier ordered the others to fan out and close in on Non. One of Non's soldiers noticed this and said "they're closing in sir[27]"; Non just nodded and watched what was going to happen next. Kara was searching through the containers and opened one "Hank!" she exclaimed relived to have found him at last. However, Trunks sensed something was off; unfortunately he was proven correct as Alex screamed "BOMB![28]" "LOOK OUT!" Trunks yelled but it was too late; the bomb exploded violently killing the soldiers in one shot! Thankfully, Kara had shielded Alex with her cape and seeing Kara in trouble Trunks powered up and shielded her and one of the soldiers that was far away from the pieces of metal flying all over the place. Luckily no one was hurt, but it did leave that lead soldier a bit rattled; "my men" he said mournfully; "it was a trap; Astra played us"[29] Alex said realizing the ruse. "Darn it my mother and I had a feeling it was a trap" Trunks cursed once again. "YOU knew?!" Alex asked angrily; "I had a feeling that it was a trap but I wasn't 100% certain Alex; I will say that I'm not surprised" Trunks explained. "Alex don't blame Trunks for this, if anyone is at fault it's me; I was the one who agreed to this trade in the first place" Kara said defending her boyfriend's actions. "You're right I'm sorry Trunks, I put the blame on you when we're all at fault here" Alex apologized humbly; "it's OK Alex you have every reason to be upset, but the real person to take your anger out on is Astra and I intend to get the truth out of her even if I have to beat her up for this!" Trunks replied accepting Alex's apology and vowing to find the truth.
Meanwhile, James had returned to the office with an ice pack over his left eye as a result of being hit by Max. "Dude, what happened to you?" Wynn asked "Yea we were worried sick; shame on you!" Pan scolded James like he was a child. James sighed and explained what had happened after he was knocked out. He told them that Maxwell wanted to settle this "like men" and that "human, alien, super; if you go up against me you will lose". He then proceeded to shatter James camera destroying all the evidence and work he had undertaken and that next time he wouldn't stop with James's camera. "That sounds like a threat against your life James" Pan stated in a grave tone; "I know; that's why we mustn't say ANYTHING about what had happened to Kara!" James replied seriously. "You do know that she will get the truth out of you one way or another; she just has that way of looking at you that will make you talk" Wynn said knowing from their previous interactions Kara's sleuthing ways. "Heh sounds like the stories Dad tells me of my grandpa; he could do that as well" Pan chuckled remembering how Gohan had told her of Goku reading Krillen's mind on Namek when he faced Recoome.
Suddenly who else but Kara appeared out of nowhere; "James!" she exclaimed shocked at his haggard appearance; "what happened to you?" "It looks much worse than it is" James replied trying his best not to rile up Kara's suspicion; "that's not what I asked!" she exclaimed. "I didn't want to get you upset; that's why I didn't tell you in the first place". In that instance Kara knew that James had defied her by investigating James, and when Pan and Winn came in the room carrying ice(in Pan's case a tub of ice!) there was no doubt in Kara's mind that James made a 'visit' to Max. "Max Lord did this to you" Kara said neutrally when she saw all the ice; "you were on this two?" she asked Winn. "We all were in on this Kara and it was me who told James to go ahead and find out what the hell was going on with Max; we were looking out for your safety!" Pan exclaimed trying to explain the situation.
"You both lied to me?!" Kara asked in disbelief; "We were trying to help you!" Wynn replied coming to Pan's defense this time. Kara scoffed "by taking him on yourselves?[puts her glasses on the table] "Max Lord is evil; I see it now and I will do whatever it takes to stop him!" she vowed angrily. "Wait Kara, you're sounding an awful look like Astra" James stated in a concerned tone; "yea? Well what if she's not so wrong?" Kara asked rhetorically. "Hey Kara!" James exclaimed shocked that his co-worker would even sound like Astra "don't do this!" "YOU CAN'T STOP ME!" she yelled and was about to storm out of the room when Wynn stopped her. "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Kara ordered angrily; "If you go after Maxwell Lord like this, then you know what you're just proving him right. That you are no different from Astra or Non!" he pleaded eloquently."What if I'm not so different?" Kara asked rhetorically once more "You have to be Kara" Wynn replied showing his emotions with Kara; "because if you aren't then we lose!" "No, you don't understand Wynn; I feel like I lost everything" Kara replied disdainfully adding "I can't stop Max, I can't get through with Astra, I can't rescue Hank, I can't even salvage my relationship with Cat!" she said mournfully.
Pan was listening to Kara thinking of a response when the Kryptonian continued her rant "even the memory of my own mother, one thing that I could always count on, is ruined". She sighed and said in a despondent voice "I have nothing left; I don't know what to do anymore. I have all these powers, but I never felt more powerless". "You're wrong Kara, even when things look the bleakest heroes find a way[30]; you have Trunks -his family and friends-, as well as your own friends and family so you defiantly aren't alone" Pan stated emphatically and stated "you think YOU lost everything you don't know the half of what Trunks or me has gone through!" and before Kara could reply Pan went off on a rant of her own: "my grandpa died shortly Trunks was born thanks to that heart virus with no cure and Chi-Chi committed suicide a few years later because it broke her damn heart. In addition he lost his father, Piccolo, and Tien to the damn androids and to make things worse, he even lost HIS BEST FRIEND MY FATHER 13 years after that first battle KARA! DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT FEELS?! TO LOSE THE ONLY PERSON HE COULD RELATE TO UNTIL HE MET MY GRANDFATHER?! And don't forget my mother's dead too, so if you add her that's 5 people that died thanks to the damn androids! Trunks and Bulma were the only ones left! Do you know how much it hurt Bulma when she made that decision to send Trunks back even though we knew that the chances of him or me even being born BACK THERE were slim AND that more lives were lost making the invention that saved my Grandfather and the other Z warriors from meeting the same fate we did?!"
Pan was inconsolable and Winn wondered 'it sounds like Pan is speaking from personal experience almost as if she had experienced this nightmare first hand' as he tried to comfort her however Pan's rant only amplified Kara's confusion 'how the hell are Vegeta, Gohan, and this 'Piccolo' alive now if they died thanks to the androids? What the heck does she mean that Bulma 'sent Trunks back' even though she knew that Pan or her son may not be born? And what the hell does she mean that Goku and the Z fighters would have met the same faith as they did had it not been for Trunks? was the Androids that much of a threat?' Kara thought in confusion but deep down she knew that Pan was right about heroes rising up when things look the bleakest; 'Pan's right, as long as I have Trunks and Alex's support and my friend's there is no reason that I have to act irrationally' she thought and said "Thank you Pan; you're right, humans are stronger and better than the likes of Max and now it's time that me and Trunks prove it to him!"And walked out determined to make things right. Winn was amazed at the turnaround and commented "that was a bit of a weird speech but hey it worked; Kara no longer wants revenge on Max". Pan chucked and replied "if anything I should be thanking you, you're bravery in standing up to Kara even when she was mad was admirable; it was your bravery that inspired me to say what I had to say". Wynn blushed from Pan's praise and replied "thanks you know something Pan? You and I make a pretty damn good team"; Pan smiled "that we do Wynn although I do prefer the term 'friend' better than 'teammate'" she replied. "Then" Winn replied smiling back "friends we shall be" and in that moment the stage was set for Pan and Winn to not only develop their friendship but also love -the he couldn't give to Kara-he(in time)- would give to the hybrid daughter of Gohan.
Kara called Trunks and said "I'm ready to hear what Astra has to say"; "I thought you wanted no part in what she had to say?" Trunks asked confused. "I was scared before, but I'm not scared now" Kara replied bravely; 'I wonder what happened that caused this change?' Trunks thought but had no time to think of it as he went once more to confront Astra together with Kara. Once Astra saw them she stated "They send you and the monkey back to try again; what makes you think it'll be different this time?" Kara replied by repeating what she had said to Trunks "because now I'm ready to hear what you have to say. I was afraid to listen before. But today, I got so upset, I couldn't think. I didn't want to; I wanted to hurt somebody. Because I was afraid of losing everything that mattered to me; like you must've felt back home."
Trunks was a bit surprised that Kara had gotten so upset as he did over the issue of Hank, but was relieved that it was over now. Kara continued her plea by saying "but if there's any hope for the future, we can't let out fear control us; we have to be better!" "You give me too much credit" Astra stated in a cynical voice; "because I know the real you" Kara said trying to break through to her. "The woman you knew died on Krypton" Astra said dismissively but Kara wasn't convinced: "I still believe that there is good in you". "I am not worth your faith" Astra said sadly; "everyone deserves faith Astra even you" Kara softly said looking at Trunks who nodded in agreement-as he knew firsthand what Kara meant(namely Goku sparing his father's life during their 1st fight on Earth)- which turned out to be a good decision on his end(as the faith of not only Earth but also the entire solar system would've been destroyed by Cell had it not been for Goku sparing Vegeta). Kara continued by pleading "now tell me what happened on Krypton; the truth". Astra sighed as she flashed back to the same scene earlier on with Non; it turned out that Alura did in fact believe that Krypton was going to blow up(which confirmed Bardock's visions about Krypton's destruction after the mission to Kannasan were also true as related by Vegeta to Trunks). She also promised Astra to fight for her cause "not through fear or manipulation, but through compassion and reason" as Alura eloquently stated to Astra before she said "it is the only hope to save our world" and condemned her to Fort Rozz but not before saying "I love you Astra [31]".
Trunks listened to the story contemplatively as Astra snapped out of her flashback and told Kara "your mother never stopped believing in me; you are so much like her Kara". Kara had to choke back tears as she said "it's not too late Astra. Please tell me where Henshaw is"; "the only way to save him is to make the trade; the humans would never agree to that" Astra said in a doubtful voice. Kara sighed looked at Trunks and he gave her the thumbs up; knowing that Trunks was agreeing to her risky plan Kara smirked and said "then it's a good thing that I'm not human".[32] Kara called Alex and together with Trunks presented a united front ready to make the exchange but was stopped by General Lane; "what do you think you're doing?" he asked angrily; "making a prisoner exchange" Kara replied. "The hell you are" Lane replied which caused the soldiers to ready their guns; "let us pass General" Alex demanded to which Lane replied "that alien is the enemy Agent Danvers". "Your orders were to return Director Henshaw home and that's what I'm doing; "you take one more step and my men will put you down" Lane threatened. "You're not going to shoot anybody and if you do I swear you will regret it" Trunks growled firing up his aura to show them he wasn't playing around which was an outward manifestation of his saiyan side's natural reaction to Kara-or another member of her family for that matter-being threatened by another man. "I wouldn't be so sure of that" Kara stated forcefully looking at the soldier who was with them the last time in the eye; seeing Kara's intense stare he backed off and said "she and that boy saved my life sir". Seeing that there was no convincing otherwise, General Lane allowed them to pass but asked "how do you know that Non and his army won't betray you?" "I don't but I do have faith" Kara replied-to which Trunks nodded in complete agreement- and went to the true location of Non and his soldiers' hideout.
Trunks powered up (however he didn't turn super) and followed Kara to the place where the hostages would be exchanged by Kara. 'I hope Non holds up his end of the bargain otherwise this deal means nothing' Trunks thought nervously after he landed alongside of Kara. "Despite your earlier bravado you're clearly conflicted about this deal" Astra said to Alex snapping Trunks back to attention. "If it were up to me I would leave you rotting in that cell" Alex dryly replied "but" she continued after Astra glared at her "I want you and your people to see that we're better than General Lane, because maybe then we'll find a way to end this war" Alex said. "You sound just like my niece" Astra noted to which Alex added "she has a powerful effect on people"[33]. Trunks added to Alex's statement by saying "she and Alex aren't the only ones that believe that Astra; it's something me and my friends and family also strongly believe in and fight for. It's the reason why -despite all the problems human beings have. I love and defend them with my life no matter what you and your fanatic husband believe." Trunks then footnoted Alex's statement about Kara to Astra by saying "in addition not only does Kara's effects on people remind me of myself, her effect also reminds me of Goku. Even his greatest enemies such as Frieza and Cell recognized that, and they were just as sadistic and cruel as you and Non were on Krypton".
Astra growled from Trunks words about the character of her and Non but said nothing as the exchange was about to take place; "they're here" Kara said and was followed by Non and Hank(the later still in handcuffs). "Go!" Non ordered as he saw that Astra had be un-cuffed by Alex; Hank complied and walked back which was followed by an emotional reunion of Astra and Non. "It's good to see you sir" Alex said in a relieved voice; "when I get out of here; I'll remind you of our policy of negotiating with terrorists" Hank said in a stern voice but then softened up "until then, I'll just say: thanks". "It was not just Alex that's responsible for this; Kara was the one who managed to break through to Astra and I agreed with her decision for the trade-off" Trunks explained to the now restored director; "Thank you Trunks" Hankshaw said sincerely now convinced that Trunks could be counted on not only as Kara's boyfriend but also act as her pseudo-advisor. Kara smiled but then frowned "something's wrong" she said; "you're right Kara" Trunks said turning serious again "I sense several power levels and there closing in on us fast!" he exclaimed. Trunks was right as a dozen (or more) Kryptonian soldiers under the command of Non surrounded the area. "We're surrounded you have to transform" Alex whispered quietly to Hank; Trunks silently watched to see what Hank would do while keeping his guard up. While he knew that he could take Non on 1 on 1, he couldn't fend off an army of super-powered soldiers. Of course Trunks didn't know that in universe 7, the Z fighters did just that against Frieza's soldiers-after he was revived with the dragon balls-eliminating them(although Frieza killed the rest when he powered up to his final form).
"Prepare to attack!" Non ordered; Trunks growled and prepared himself for battle with Kara following him when suddenly "STOP! STAND DOWN!" rung out. In a shocking move, it was Astra who ordered the army to stop and stand down! "We have to strike now General; we have them at our mercy" Non counseled Astra, but she responded by saying "honor the agreement Non; there will be no more battles today". Non relented "withdraw" he ordered and the army backed off into whatever holes they had crawled out of. Non flew off afterwards at which point Astra turned to Kara and said "do not mistake my compassion for weakness; this is not a truce". "Then let's call it a start"[34] Kara replied and Astra flew away. "Nicely done Kara I couldn't have said it better myself" Trunks said complementing Kara; "thanks, but this isn't over yet: there's still something we have to take care of" Kara said accepting Trunks praise with a slight blush(although if they were alone she would've kissed him). "Yea, getting that general Lane out and restoring John-I mean Hank- to his rightful position as the head of the DEO" Trunks replied; Kara wondered why Trunks corrected himself when he said 'John' but put that on the back burner and decided to flirt with Trunks by saying "care to join me?" "Gladly" the hybrid replied smiling. 'Oh yea there's definitely something going on between those 2 and I intend to find out what' Alex thought as they went back to the DEO.
Once they explained what had happened with Astra, General Lane said "you've only delayed the inevitable; this enemy cannot be reason with". "We prefer a more thoughtful approach here at the DEO General" Hank said sternly and then took back command as he said that Lane's presence were "no longer required". Hank then decided to thank them for rescuing him in his own unique way by saying "you can thank my agents and Trunks for completing your mission" "Their idealism will doom this planet" General Lane spat skeptically; "no" Hank replied wisely "that's what will save it". After Lane departed Kara decided to speak up asking "so..what did Alex mean when she said you had to 'transform'?; Or did you forget I had super-hearing?" 'That's Kara she never misses a single detail of a conversation' Trunks thought bemused; Hank looked at Trunks and Alex and-deciding that the time had come-was honest and told her everything.
"You're from Mars?!" Kara exclaimed in disbelief after Hank had told her the entire story-which was collaborated and added to by Trunks to Kara- thanks to Vegeta. "You're from Krypton, you boyfriend's father is from Planet Vegeta; which is harder to believe?" John pointed out/asked rhetorically. "But why stay hidden?" Kara asked in a baffled tone; "I'm trying to make the world a safe place for everybody; humans and aliens alike" he replied. Trunks smiled and responded by saying "now that's an idea I like" after which John continued by saying "I failed Alex's father before I assumed the identity of Hank Henshaw; I won't fail again." "And you saw what the DEO is like under General Lane; so we need Hank-J'ohn- on top." "I agree" Trunks said "to me Lane represents a greater evil to both alien and human alike; I trust John as much as I trust Piccolo and he's been fighting for the Earth for years". "You always talk about this 'Piccolo' when are you going to introduce me to him?" Kara asked with a pout; "someday Kara but not today" Trunks reassured her. "You know you guys could've just told me; I can keep a secret" Kara said putting Piccolo off for another day; "no you can't"[35] replied the combined voices of John, Alex, and even Trunks(but Kara decided to take it in good humor). "I do have one question though" Trunks said "how are you going to convince Cat that you're not Supergirl?"
"I have an idea; consider it my way of thanking Kara for saving my life" John stated and whispered the plan in Trunks' ear. Trunks smirked and said "I'll leave you to it John, see you later Kara love you" and took off to Capsule Corps with a smile on his face. Alex watched Trunks leave and asked "is there something about you and Trunks that you're keeping from your sister?" Kara sighed and said "Trunks told me that he loved me and I've accepted him as my boyfriend". Alex was astonished "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR SENSES?"she asked; "how am I out of my senses Alex?" "Kara" Alex warned "what if Trunks uses his powers and abilities against you? With that Super-Saiyan ability of his you have to be careful if the two of you should get into a fight." "Alex I'm as strong as my cousin and I don't think Trunks will surpass him even with his Super-Saiyan powers" Kara retorted. Alex sighed and said "well okay just as long as he and his family keeps you being Supergirl secret we don't want another General Lane takeover of the DEO". "I just hope whatever John has planned works" Kara muttered to Alex and went back to the office; John didn't confront her as Kara oh no; he confronted her as Supergirl! He imitated all the looks and mannerisms of Supergirl to absolute perfection which totally threw Cat off her game when Kara came into the room to 'meet' her double! Cat was shocked that she could be so wrong and apologized to Kara for mistaking her as Supergirl and told her that she could have her job back(which Kara eagerly accepted) as long as she didn't tell anyone that Cat mistook her for Supergirl. Kara said that it would be in both of their interests if she did-after all she had come to accept the pseudo mother-like relationship with her boss- and wouldn't change it for the world. The clincher of course was after Kara left her boss; ascending to the roof she 'met' her double and in a double-transformation "Supergirl" transformed into John for a brief moment before re assuming Hank's identity.
After Kara thanked him(which he accepted with a 'you're welcome') Hank stated "I wouldn't have minded you coming to work for the DEO full time". "I can't leave this place; it's not just a secret identity to me" Kara said implying that her relationship with Trunks and his family was very meaningful before adding "I almost did something today that I would've regretted the rest of my life". "What stopped you?" Hank asked the kryptonian curiously; "my friends" Kara sincerely replied and added "the DEO keeps you human; they do that for me". John nodded in understanding and left but it would be remiss if I[as the author] didn't add one last conversation between Kara and her cousin. CLARK: are you ok? KARA: yes Clark: do you need help? Kara: If I do I'll ask; I promise they wrote to each other via IM. Clark responded by saying: I'm here if you need me Kara. Remember...Blood bonds us all; Kara smiled; you didn't learn that in Kansas she IM'ed; No Clark replied; I learned it from you. "Hey" James said ending the conversation "how are things on the Cat front?" he asked. "She came to her senses"[chuckles]"so did I; thank you for stopping me before" Kara responded grateful for her friend's help. "Hey its why you keep us around right?" Winn joked to which Pan said "you're such a goof Wynn! But in all due seriousness you're welcome…Supergirl" she teased.
James then followed up his question with another question: "so what's the plan?"; "we expose whatever Maxwell Lord is up too and put him away for good" Kara replied seriously to which Pan smirked; "now that's a plan I can get behind; whatever you come up with I promise that me and my family will help you do whatever it takes put that slimy creep behind bars where he belongs" she vowed. "Here Here to Kara!" Wynn replied cheerfully 'toasting' Kara's plan; but all wasn't well. Behind the doors that James could not break into was Max plotting his next move. "They just brought her in" a scientist was telling him; "she meets all of your requirements: No relatives, no connections of any kind; it wasn't easy to arrange" he said. "I didn't think it would be; that will be all" Max replied dismissing him then putting his hands on the door he went inside where a woman that was roughly the same age Lazuli(aka Android 18) was when she was abducted and turned into an android by the nefarious Dr. Gero. However, in terms of abilities, this mysterious woman was more like Cell in that she was designed to imitate Supergirl move for move. "My name is Maxwell Lord and I'm going to help you[36]" he said to the woman who opened up her black emotionless eyes…End chapter
Outtro: hey it's me Winn and next time on Supergirl Z, it looks like I'm in for some major trouble! Why you ask? Because my father's back, and he's out to get revenge on Kara! Oh no…If Pan finds out about this; she'll freak out considering his childish attitude…I hope Trunks can deal with this more sanely? Next time on Supergirl Z: HIS NAME IS TOYMAN! Wynn's tragic past! You don't want to miss any of the action!
Me: In the words of Vegeta "IT'S OVER 9000"!(words that is) But in all due seriousness, I hope you like this chapter as it took me 2 DAYS to complete and edit. This is probably my longest 1 part chapter to date and probably one of the longest chapters I have written yet! Don't worry though; with Toyman's appearance as the "Villain of the week" I will return to the 2 chapter format I have been taking for most of my story next time! I would've done that for this chapter, but there wasn't enough Supergirl material for me to work this week with so I compensated by writing in fill-in dialog whenever the show goes to commercial break. That is something I will do more of in the future-as it makes it easier for me to transition between scenes- as well as add in extra "moments" for my pairings! Finally I want to address the whole universe 6 and 7 thing(and this is just my opinion so don't rag on me ok!) The way I see it(for this story) universe 6 is ball, Z/HOT(history of Trunks), GT while universe 7 contains ball, z, and super. Now with Super, all the episodes past #287 of Z(Celebrations with Majin Buu for those who don't know) can be officially be written out as non-canon with both the Super manga and anime replacing the events after the defeat of Kid Buu but before Goku leaves with Uub in the 25th WMAT with the whole Battle of Gods/Res F/ Universe 6 arcs. Now as for GT in relations 7's universe, Akira T.(the creator of all things Dragon Ball) has stated that he considers it as a side-story. He had no direct role in GT(except when it came to the designs for Baby, the Shadow Dragons) it was a series created by Toei animation and it's its own separate universe. This is why Alice is so important; she is the PERFECT representation of the division that exists between Super and GT.
HOWEVER, I will be referring to the EVENTS in GT-by both the mystery warrior of team 7(to Cabe's father about round 1 of an infamous death battle regarding said father's 2nd son as well as his great-granddaughter) and Zuno (to Alice in relations to said round as well as the rematch involving Super-Saiyan God/Blue equally infamous death battle rematch(which also includes said great-granddaughter). In a nutshell Universe 6 doesn't know of Buu/Golden Frieza/the Gods, and universe 7 doesn't know of Baby/Omega Shenron-or the Shadow Dragons on the Whole-/Super-Saiyan 4 so I hope that clears up any confusion! With all that out of the way on to the references and oh boy there are a lot of them!
