In Athens, Greece, two random Spartan warriors entered an Ancient Greek Museum and approached a case holding a broken staff. The museum was filled with Greek statues, weapons, shields, pottery, and so forth. "Behold, the mythical staff of the gods," a tour guide said to no one in particular.
"Who are you speaking to?" one of the Spartans asked.
"The audience, it's important they know," the tour guide said.
"And why are you speaking to us in English?" the other Spartan asked.
"Look, I'm just trying to have fun here. Museums are amusement parks for the brain, you know," the tour guide said defensively.
"No, they're not," the first Spartan denied.
"This ancient staff replica was found in a Philidelphia waste processing plant of all places. I say replica because there's no way a Greek artifact from over two thousand years ago could be this intact," the tour guide continued.
The Spartans began to bang on the glass that apparently had the strength to withstand the power of the gods. "Yeah, if you could just stop, that would be great," the tour guide said awkwardly.
The Spartans continued to punch at the glass without result. "I'm going to have to ask you to leave," the tour guide said impatiently as the two Spartans pushed hard on the glass without effect. Finally, the two of them managed to push the glass over where it shattered on the floor. The two Spartans then took off their helmets revealing themselves to be an old white woman and a middle-aged Asian woman, Hespera and Kalypso.
The two goddesses took each section of the staff and regained their powers. A security guard tried to apprehend Kalypso. "Joining the EU was a mistake," she whispered into his ear.
Immediately, he became pissed off and started to attack other patrons of the museum. As he did, he whispered the same thing to a woman he had tackled. This caused her to get pissed off as well and then suddenly everyone in the museum was pissed off and fighting each other. The gates then lowered trapping the patrons with the two goddesses. Since this was Europe and guns are not allowed, a security guard tried to strike at the goddesses with his baton staff. He was telekinetically slammed into a glass case of exhibits.
Kalypso swung her staff at another security guard slamming his head into a wall. The tour guide came up to the goddesses pleading for his life. "Please, just let me go," he said pathetically.
Hespera spoke a spell that dissolved all the fake-ass statues in the museum and then made all the fat tourists statues instead including the tour guide. In an act of unnecessary evil, Kalypso pushed the hapless tour guide statue over so that he shattered into thousands of pieces on the floor.
"Time to have some fun," she smiled wickedly.
"We can do nothing while our staff remains broken and without power," Hespera reminded her. "Champions of this world outnumber us."
"They are just humans and we are gods," Kalypso said arrogantly.
"Don't underestimate the chosen one, the strongest, most intelligent creature this world has ever witnessed," Hespera warned.
Metropolis
Kara rested on the couch in front of Dr. Wong. "I don't deserve these powers. What am I even contributing? Flash is so fast and Aquaman is so manly, and Batman is so cool. I'm just me."
"Is this the part where I reassure you that you're awesome to enable your continued narcissism?" Dr. Wong asked rhetorically.
"I can't tell anyone but you these things because everyone at the DEO looks to me as a leader," Kara lamented.
"They don't," Dr. Wong rolled her eyes.
"I feel like a fraud," Kara said dramatically.
"You are," Dr. Wong confirmed. "You are aware that I don't give a shit about your petty complaints, right?"
"I'm in a funk. I need a fix," Kara admitted.
"It sounds like you have imposter syndrome, trauma that originates early in life. You still sulking about your childhood?" Dr. Wong asked.
"Every day," Kara muttered. "My parents dumped me on this shit-hole planet, I got into fights, killed some people, went forward in time where I conquered Earth, went backward in time to kick more ass, and I'm just trying to keep my family together. And by family, I mean exclusively Alex."
"Rejected by your parents, the system, and the city you're supposedly trying to protect," Dr. Wong listed off.
"I haven't been rejected by my city," Kara denied.
Dr. Wong showed her a Daily Planet newspaper headlined, "Rejected by City" with Supergirl's smiling face on the front page. "What the fuck? I work there now," Kara said dismayed.
"Shocking betrayal," Dr. Wong smirked.
"Look, I have to go and mentor some kids to be superheroes now," Kara said taking off.
"God help those kids," Dr. Wong sighed.
DEO Fortress
Kara entered the DEO and found Billy Batson and his foster siblings playing video games. As she did, she met up with Brainiac 5. "The fortress is frequently hit by lightning. It's becoming an issue."
"I'll remind them again," Kara said annoyed.
Kara eyed Billy and Ian playing COD and getting their hostages killed. "I suck balls at military games," Billy complained.
"Hey, it's good practice. Military strategy, multiple team members, each with a special skill set, against an unknown enemy," Ian said.
"Couldn't have said it better myself," Kara said pleased.
"But we don't need guns," Billy protested.
"The fuck did I just hear?" Kara rebuked.
"We are the guns," Billy clarified.
"And what happens if you lose your powers? Then, you would be fucked. People use Kryptonite on me, it doesn't matter. Why? Because I got this," Kara said as she pulled a pistol out of her jacket.
"Why the fuck are there Skittles in my pockets?" Mary said outraged as she came down the stairs with her laundry.
"It was supposed to be a surprise," Darla excused.
"Is this a diagram of unicorns fighting Genghis Khan?" Kara questioned her.
"It's for my alternative history project," she said adorably.
Kara turned to Pedro watching a baseball game and reading a magazine. "Still fat?" she asked him.
"Yep," he muttered.
"Still gay?" Kara continued.
"Yep," he sighed.
"Good to know," Kara mocked. With her super-hearing, she listened in on Freddy's earphones. "What do you think you're doing listening in on the police? No superhero crap without authorization."
"But Metropolis bridge is going to collapse," he told her.
"Fine, Shazam Kids, assemble!" Kara ordered.
Metropolis
On the bridge, a firetruck lost control, scattered some cars, and hit the bridge railing with enough force that it supposedly compromised the entire structural integrity of the bridge. Supergirl landed on the bridge and immediately took notice of a pretzel truck. "Get me some of that shit," Kara said to the driver. As Kara ate a giant-ass pretzel, she scanned the bridge for issues.
"It's going to break!" a woman said as the bridge started to collapse, and cables snapped off.
"What the fuck?" Kara wondered.
Pieces of the bridge started to fall off and then the bridge pavement itself began to crack open. "The only way this vehicle crash could take down an entire bridge of this size is fucking magic. A wizard fucking did it," Kara suspected.
The bridge, supernaturally determined to split in half, did so as the Shazam kids arrived. Billy caught a car as it was about to fall into the bay. With his super-hearing, he listened to the song being played on the car's speakers. "Really? You're playing, "I need a hero" at the exact moment I'm saving your ass?" Billy asked her.
The woman merely nodded. Billy placed the car back on the bridge while Freddy sped over to two other cars about to fall in. He grabbed the cars by their bumpers and pulled them back onto the bridge. Darla then eyed kittens in a car filled with blond girls. "Oh, how adorable," she said, and then took off with them.
Darla then came back and sped the car out of danger. With incredible speed, Mary got every single person a good distance away from where the bridge was collapsing. With Ian and Pedro unable to repair the bridge, the middle section of the bridge fell into the bay. "Well...shit," Kara muttered.
After the disaster, reporters interviewed Kara on what had happened. "Great to be here. What can I say, it's all in a day's work," Kara smiled for the cameras.
"How do you feel about being called the Metropolis Maniac?" Snapper asked.
"Who calls me that? They...can go fuck themselves," Kara said outraged. "I saved 162 lives. That bridge couldn't have fallen due to a mere traffic accident. Someone in the city bridge maintenance department fucked up. When I find out who is responsible, I'm going to have their ass."
DEO Fortress
In the basement of the DEO, the Shazam kids had completely redecorated the place so that it resembled a frat house. Kara turned on the news covering the bridge collapse. "Alright, let's do an AAR," Kara ordered.
"What's that?" Pedro asked.
"After Action Review, stupid," Ian scolded him.
"That's right. So, what did we set out to do? What was the plan?" Kara asked condescendingly.
"To save the bridge," Billy said brightly.
"And what ultimately did happen?" Kara asked with the same tone.
"The bridge fell into the bay," Freddy said wide-eyed.
"Give me some sustains," Kara ordered.
"We saved 162 lives," Mary said as she read her organic chemistry book.
"Right, that did happen," Kara allowed. "And some improves?"
"I have no idea how to weld bridge cables to the size of my d...," Pedro admitted.
"Me either," Ian seconded.
"That's why we must work as a team. Does anyone know how to weld metal cables?" Kara asked the group. No one raised their hands. "Ah, you have to be shitting me. None of you know how to weld using your powers?"
Still, no one raised their hands. "Okay, I'll have Barney give you a class on that," Kara said as she took notes. "Look, in the beginning, you were really strong. There was cohesiveness and coordination."
"I need to go fly and stuff," Freddy said, taking off.
"I need to take a shower," Ian said getting up.
"I have a Phillies game to watch," Pedro excused.
"I'm going to take this kitten back," Darla said.
"Everyone, sit your ass back down," Kara ordered with red glowing eyes. No one made a move. "Now, Freddy, what the fuck were you doing playing around with those cars?"
"At first, I wasn't sure I had the strength to pull them both at the same time, but then I believed in myself, and I did it," he said brightly.
"Don't bullshit me, Freddy," Kara scolded. "Darla, did you seriously save two kittens over three teenage girls?"
"Yeah, they're cute," Darla smiled adorably.
"God damn it, I can't stay mad at you," Kara shook her head dismayed.
Mary then got in Kara's face. "You're holding too tight."
"Your bra is holding too tight, God damn," Kara said stunned.
"Just because Freddy wants to go flying, it doesn't mean he's going to abandon you like your parents," Mary said.
"Don't try to psycho-analyze me, bitch. It will send you to weird nasty places," Kara warned. "Look, we're not friends. You are all my child laborers. Some of you are already out of the foster care system," Kara said pointing to Mary. "Some of you are on the verge of exiting," she said, pointing to Billy. "When that happens, you have no homes, no checks, nothing. My future sister-in-law is a social worker so believe me when I tell you how fucked you are...without me. So, it would behoove you all to not piss me off."
The Shazam kids simply stared at her. "Class dismissed," Kara said and then stormed out.
Paris, France
Shazam found himself in an expensive restaurant with Supergirl with the Eiffel Tower in view. The French patrons completely ignored them even as they were in their respective uniforms. "Wow, I never realized you felt this way. I mean, look at all this, the romantic setting, the champagne, big plate-tiny food, you went all out," Billy complimented.
"It's super easy, barely an inconvenience when you're rich," Kara reminded him.
"And I love that about you, but I'm not sure I'm ready to commit right now," Billy told her.
"What the fuck, Billy? You signed a binding contract with me to be my apprentice slave forever. Is it me?" Kara asked outraged.
"No, it's not about you. It's me. I know the whole world wants to see this happen, the dynamic duo, the hottie goddies, She-Zam, the M-She-U," Billy said awkwardly. "I guess I'm just afraid I'm going to let them all down. That, I'm going to let you down."
"Billy, you already have so many times. So, no pressure," Kara reassured him.
"Alright, fuck it. Let's do this. Maybe seal it with a kiss," Billy suggested.
"You're such a smart kid. Why are you so retarded when you become an adult?" Kara wondered. "Look, these assholes did this around the same time as the bridge collapse," she said and then showed video surveillance footage of Hespera and Kalypso in the Greek museum.
"Looks like magic," Billy noted.
"Yeah, no shit," Kara agreed. "You're going to hunt them down and kill their ass."
"Why me?" Billy asked. "You can take them down easily enough, right?"
"I'm not going to be here for long. Either you get the job done or face getting rebooted," Kara said seriously.
DEO Fortress
The next evening, Kara hauled the Shazam kids into the DEO Fortress for a meeting. "Freddy, what is this shit?" Kara demanded as she showed him her smartphone with an article of him destroying a stolen armored bank truck.
"First of all, I didn't explode it. It was like that. And that's the Daily Planet, fake news," Freddy said defensively.
"I work there, asshole," Kara reminded him. "Did you forget the first rule?"
"All or none," Freddy rolled his eyes. "But it's a stupid rule. I got a girl talking to me. For the first time in my life, a girl is talking to me."
"Yeah, you don't have a shot in hell with her," Kara said rudely.
"How am I ever going to find out if you control everything I want to do?" Freddy asked exasperated.
"Freddy, if you'd stop being a royal fuck-up, I'd fix your leg and then you might actually get laid one day!" Kara shouted.
"Do you...have to...talk...so loud?" Mary asked while wearing sunglasses and obviously hungover.
"What's your deal? You fucked up?" Kara asked slightly concerned.
"I'm okay," Mary downplayed.
"Why are you wearing sunglasses? Did you go to the eye doctor this morning?" Darla asked ignorantly.
"No, stupid," Mary told her off.
"You go to some club?" Kara demanded.
"In point of fact, I did, and I had a lot of fun socializing with people my age and enjoying the company of three other men," Mary said nonchalantly.
"Mary, what the fuck?" Kara scolded.
"Whenever I say the magic word, it's like an instant STD injection and morning-after pill," Mary assured her.
"Let's get this conversation back on track. These two witches have been identified by Barney as being the Daughters of Atlas. This is the real deal, people," Kara said as she showed their images on the giant TV screen.
"Let me see that shit," Mary said, asking for Kara's smartphone. "The mythic daughters guard the tree of life which grows golden apples that contain the seeds of life that build their realm, protected by a dragon. This sounds like bullshit."
"Dragon?" Ian asked excitedly.
"Pay attention," Kara snapped. "Look, we all have to be on the same page. This is magic shit. I don't do magic so you're all going to have to step up."
"How?" Pedro asked.
"You're all going to do research," Kara ordered and then dumped a bunch of old books on them.
"How did the staff end up in Europe?" Billy asked.
"Well, I broke it in half and then sent it to Greece for a tax write-off," Kara said obviously.
"Why did you break the staff?" Mary asked stunned.
"I have enough orphans with magical powers to deal with. I don't need more," Kara told her.
"That broke the barrier between worlds," Mary pointed out.
"Which we now know," Kara said dismissively. "It's not a big deal. We know what they look like. We'll see them coming a mile away."
"Hey, I think there's three total: Hespera, Kalypso, and Anthea," Pedro pointed out from a book.
"Oh, shit, that's your new girlfriend," Billy said to Freddy.
Kara eyed Freddy with a dangerous look in her eye. "Freddy, you're going to listen to me very carefully."
Metropolis
On Kara's orders, Freddy went back to see Anthea on the roof of their school. "You know, I've never actually been up here," Freddy said awkwardly.
"Don't lie. Isn't this the place where you hang out with your superhero friends, isn't it?" she quizzed.
"Why would they ever come by here? I mean, I've seen them...," Freddy stuttered.
"Do you actually know those guys?" Anthea doubted.
"Do you want to meet one of them?" Freddy asked.
"Like now?" Athea wondered.
"Like face-to-face, right now," Freddy pressed.
"Yes," Athea smiled.
"Well, today is your lucky day because I'm going to call the hot one," Freddy said boastfully.
"Is this a joke, Freddy? Because you don't have to actually prove it," Athea said reluctantly.
"No, it's not a joke and I'm going to make the call right now," Freddy assured her. "Stay right there." Freddy went around the roof door and disappeared. Athea waited patiently as Freddy talked on the phone out of sight.
Suddenly, Athea was punched hard off the roof with a speed beyond her comprehension. A sonic boom rattled the school blasting out the windows on every floor. Athea was flung off the school and through the air towards the city. Supergirl punched her again with the same speed and power sending her farther inside the city. Anthea put her hands up as her civilian clothes became that of her goddess uniform. Reality appeared to shift as she tried to evade. Kara navigated through the city and sliced through any building that got in her way. Anthea then teleported quickly away from Kara to escape from her. She ended up on the street level in front of a building. A red beam sliced through the glass of the building and hit her hard, blasting glass in all directions and knocking her to the ground.
Anthea attempted to get her bearings when Kara was on her in a flash. She broke Anthea's wrists, brought them up to her lips, froze her hands solid, and then shattered them. "Oh, fuck," Athea said stunned.
Kara kneed her to the gut hard, so she bent over coughing blood. Kara then used her right index finger to Antha's chin to pull her back up. "I don't mean you any harm. I don't want anyone to get hurt," Anthea said to her.
Kara ignored her and side-punched her with her left. Anthea was slammed into a building wall devastating her. "Why would you do that?" she cried.
"I'm going to squish you like a grape unless you call for the others," Kara threatened and then placed her hands on either side of her head. Anthea resisted for a moment and then screamed out in pain.
"Move to my position," Kara radioed the others. The Shazam family all arrived at her position.
"Holy shit," Freddy said stunned as he saw Anthea's injuries.
"Are you emotionally compromised?" Kara asked him.
"No," he shook his head fearfully.
"Lock her up in your lair," Kara ordered Billy.
"Right, let's move out," Billy ordered the others. They grabbed Anthea and used a random door to teleport to their magical lair with many doors. Kara then waited for the other two witches to show up.
It didn't take long for Hespera to advance on Kara. "I'm going to slit your throat for that," Hespera said angrily.
Kara chuckled at that. "Oh, you were serious? Let me laugh harder."
"If one stole one's sister, you would naturally give chase, would you not?" Hespera questioned.
Kara said nothing to that. "You have assaulted and maimed our sister. We take that very personally," Hespera said angrily. "I'll make this simple for you. You will surrender our sister, give back our magical powers from those children so that we can rebuild our realm," Hespera said to her.
"You sound very menacing for an old hag," Kara mocked. "How about a compromise? I'll give back your sister and you give me that magical staff of yours."
"There will be no compromise," Hespera denied.
"You either take my offer or I annihilate your ass. It's a good offer. I'm being serious. Don't fuck with me," Kara said half-heartedly.
"You play the part of a woman, but you don't play it well," Hespera said condescendingly.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Kara asked peeved.
"You are a child, a Supergirl. You are no leader, Kara. You are a lost girl that likes to make-believe you're a warrior," Hesperia chided.
"I may not be as experienced as you, being the old hag that you are, but I'm pretty sure I have experiences you don't have. I've killed a lot of bitches in my day. So, what's it going to be? Do you want to die fast, or do you want to die furiously?" Kara asked seriously.
"I've had enough of your shit," Hespera said angrily. "Attack!"
A flash of lightning went straight for Kara but simply went through her as if she was an illusion. The real Kara blasted Kalyspo into a building with heat vision taking her out momentarily. Hespera kicked Kara across the street and into a building. In a flash, Kara landed on top of Hespera with enough force the both of them crashed into an underground warehouse.
"You're wasting my time, girl," Hespera said snidely.
Kara rushed Hespera and slammed her against a pillar. With Hespera stunned, Kara slammed her to the floor. Kara then picked Hespera back up above her head and slammed her to the floor again creating a crater. While on the floor, Hespera telekinetically summoned electrical cables around Kara's body.
"You can't be serious," Kara mocked as she easily snapped the cables off her. A random wooden crate then slammed into her, blasting apart to pieces on impact.
Kara grabbed Hespera and slammed her against the wall and against supply crates back and forth without mercy. She then dragged her ass across the floor until she found a sufficiently open space. Kara then took Hespera over her head and slammed her to the floor. With her peripheral vision, Kara noticed a ball of junk was being telekinetically bound together in a ball to be thrown at her.
"My father was Atlas, the god of stamina and strength. You may be a Supergirl, but you'll never be a true god," Hespera mocked.
Kara waited for Hespera to make her move. As the ball of junk went straight for her, Kara got out of the way and then moved Hespera in her place. Hespera was hit hard by her own attack and fell to the floor in a heap. With Hespera knocked out, Kara activated a portal device. Kara then placed Hespera over her shoulder and went inside the portal.
Kara, with Hespera over her shoulders, exited a magical door with Billy opening the door for her. Kara then tossed Hespera into a cell and waited for her to wake up. "Welcome to the Rock of Eternity, bitch," Kara woke her up.
"Is this the time when we tell her about the power of the doors in a gloating manner," Billy asked her as other Shazam kids gathered around.
"No, Billy, shut the fuck up. Listen and learn," Kara lectured. "We must assume they have the same abilities if not more than what you can do in all areas. We were a total success due to strategic thinking and being brutal as fuck."
Kara then went back to Hespera. "You will give over the staff in return for your freedom."
"And what of Anthea?" Hespera asked.
"No, her powers weird me the fuck out. That's some Dr. Strange-level bullshit," Kara denied. "Now, Billy, did you place the Golden Apple in the library as I told you to?"
"Yep," he answered.
"Good deal, let's go to the throne room where we can eat Skittles and gloat over our victory," Kara told them all.
"Shouldn't we keep a guard?" Mary questioned.
"Nah, it will be fine," Kara said dismissively.
For a good while, Kara and the Shazam kids trash-talked the three goddesses while on their thrones. "How are they even sisters? Not going to lie, the age difference is slightly upsetting," Billy remarked.
"The age difference between me and Alex is 30 years, so you can go fuck yourself," Kara smiled.
"I'm going to give the prisoners Skittles," Darla said as she took off with all-Yellow Skittles.
"Why is the only candy in here Skittles?" Ian asked.
"Because we have a financial partnership with them," Kara said obviously.
"FYI, they're both gone," Darla reported.
"Oh, no, really? Who would have thought?" Kara asked unconcernedly.
"That's why it was so easy. She wanted to get caught," Mary noted.
"I feel this has been played out many many times before," Kara rolled her eyes.
Realm of the Gods
In the Realm of the Gods, Hespera and Anthea made their way back to their throne room with the mystical Golden Apple. In their realm, Anthea's hands grew back and Hespera was back to perfect health. Kalypso was present with the staff waiting patiently.
"Finally, we can restore our realm," Anthea said joyfully.
"Or plant it in their realm," Kalypso suggested.
"That would destroy their world," Anthea said obviously.
"No shit," Kalypso spat. "Just as they destroyed ours."
"You can't be serious," Hespera said shocked and appalled.
"I was merely joking," Kalypso lied. The apple began to beep. "What the fuck is that?" she wondered.
The apple suddenly exploded seriously injuring the three of them and gutting the temple. Flames roared through the halls of the temple revealing the Golden Apple to be a thermonuclear detonator. The statue of Atlas and the Earth in his hands was blasted to pieces.
Kara and the Shazam kids went through the doorway and entered a tunnel system. "Billy, take point, Pedro, the rear as usual," Kara ordered. The group moved through the tunnel system in a straight line with each of them pointing their hands in different directions.
With Kara in the center of the squad, they eventually reached the throne room where the three goddesses were severely injured by the blast. "The staff," Kara directed Billy. In a flash, he took hold of the staff and then threw it to Kara.
Hespera, Kalypso, and Anthea painfully got back to their feet as their wounds quickly regenerated. "None of you will leave this place," Hespera promised.
"I'll handle them," Kara said to the Shazam kids. "Billy, move them out."
"Alright, let's go," Billy said to the others and took off with the staff.
"You'll handle us? We are gods. Your predecessor knew to give us proper respect," Hespera lectured.
"I am the predecessor," Kara corrected, referring to Superman. In a flash, Kara uppercut Hespera and then quickly knife-handed her to the face splitting her face open. Kara then backhanded Anthea as she gave Kalypso a powerful uppercut. Kara cocked her hand back and blasted a basketball-sized hole through Kalypso's gut. Kara then quickly turned to Anthea and sliced her in half with her heat vision.
To her slight amazement, the three goddesses quickly recovered from their grievous wounds and charged her. Kara sliced off the heads of Kalypso and Anthea as they charged her. Kara and Hespera punched and dodged each other for a brief dance until Kara chopped Hespera's leg off and then slammed her to the floor with her boot.
Kalypso quickly recovered and slammed Kara with a mace. "Damn, I actually felt that," Kara winced as she dropped to a knee. Anthea stabbed Kara through the gut with a knife. Kara swiped them both with her knife hand, ripping open their midsections and then backhanding Kalypso away. Anthea stabbed Kara through the back a second time as Kalypso swung her mace down on Kara's head.
Kara grabbed Kalypso by the neck and decapitated her. Kara then leaped up and with a swift kick destroyed Anthea's head and her back. Kara avoided Hespera's sword swipes, disarmed her, and then split her in half at the midsection with her own sword. Now armed with a magical sword, Kara sliced through Anthea's gut. Kalypso swung her mace at Kara's side slamming her up against a wall. Kara then fought all three at once with her sword giving them all mortal injuries in a quick second. Kara grabbed Anthea's wrist before she could get stabbed and then threw her against the wall crushing her body in a blood-splattered mess.
Kara then gave Hespera an uppercut as she split Klypso in half with her heat vision. Anthea then threw herself onto Kara's back to stab at her. Kara tossed her off and then tore through her chest with her boot as she landed on the floor. Kara then threw Anthea's lifeless-looking body up against a wall where her head splattered upon impact. Kalypso got a solid hit on Kara's face with her mace. Kara quickly swung her sword cutting her half. At this point, Hespera, Kalypso, and Anthea regenerated from their wounds quicker and quicker. In response, Kara increased her lethal attacks as she engaged all three at once.
Kara sliced off Kalypso's leg and then slit her throat in a fast movement. Hespera took hold of Kara's sword and the two struggled over it. Kara kicked her away and then stabbed her through with it. With Hespera still stuck on the sword, Kara threw Hespera's body over her shoulders where she landed on top of Kalypso and Anthea. Kara then landed next to all three decapitating them all at once as she came down.
As the fight dragged on, Kara got slammed into a wall and got her throat slit by Anthea while Kalypso cut deep into her leg. Kara quickly regenerated the wound with her own power reserves and fought on. Anthea sliced through the back of her neck as Kalypso hit her hard to the back of the head with her mace.
"This is some bullshit," Kara said painfully as she killed all three of them in quick succession.
"Do you see the futility of your position, girl?" Hespera mocked.
"I've fought immortal gods and angels before. I just wanted to have some fun before I do this," Kara said and then gave them a flash of light that destroyed the entire palace in a powerful explosion. Hespera, Kalypso, and Anthea were immediately incinerated. As with the goddesses, the palace also regenerated to what it once was. As the three goddesses regenerated from the ash, Kara made her retreat back to Metropolis.
"We have been humiliated by a mere Kryptonian mortal. It's time we take this more seriously," Kalypso said peeved.
"And so, we shall," Hespera agreed.
DEO Fortress
Kara entered the DEO Fortress pissed off. "Barney, how do I kill these immortal bitches?"
"Plant the real Golden Apple in the real world, allow it to grow into a full-grown tree, and then destroy the tree," Brainiac 5 said obviously.
"You're telling me these goddesses have been trying to acquire the very thing that will destroy them?" Kara asked incredulously.
"Immortality does not equal wisdom or intelligence," Brainiac 5 reminded her.
"Isn't that the damn truth," Kara agreed. "Billy!"
"Sup?" Billy asked as he entered the room.
"There will come a time when your siblings will need to go their own way. When that happens, they will give back their powers to you. You, and you alone, must be ready for the Day of Judgement," Kara told him.
"Okay," Billy said uncertainly. "But what if I fail?"
"Then, you give me the power," Kara told him.
Middle of Nowhere
In the middle of nowhere, Kara planted the Golden Apple in the ground with Brainiac 5 and Billy at her side. The tree immediately started growing to skyscraper-level heights with extensive roots that went for miles. The three quickly grew leaves and fruit. Three dragons then appeared with Hespera, Kalypso, and Anthea riding them.
"Take my powers. I don't know what I'm doing," Billy pleaded with Kara.
"Billy, don't be a bitch," Kara chided. "You may be a dumbass kid, but you have a good heart. Believe me when I say that ever since you got your powers, I've been looking to trade up, but I haven't found anyone worthy to be this world's champion. You could have been a total asshole, hoarding your powers for yourself, but you didn't hesitate to share them with your siblings. Now, fight for your world, and your family. I chose right when I didn't fire your ass."
"Really? Because I thought you were going to fire me once I turned eighteen," Billy said confused.
"Billy, do I look poor to you? In one way or another, I'll always be here for you...as your boss," Kara assured him. "Now, kick their ass."
"Shazam!" Billy shouted and transformed.
Kara watched passively as Billy took to the air and engaged the three goddesses on their dragons. Billy punched Kalypso's dragon to the face briefly stunning it. "That was really satisfying," Billy smiled, impressed with himself. Kalypso's dragon fired on Billy blasting him to the ground where a good chunk of his left shoulder became burned.
"Keep up the good work, Billy," Kara mocked as he got back up.
"You thought yourself invulnerable? Magic kills magic," Kalypso informed him.
"Well...no shit," Billy groaned and then fired lightning at her.
Kara watched passively, eating from a bag of Skittles, as she watched Billy fight with the three dragons. "You can't even taste the product placement," Kara said to Brainiac 5 who was also watching the fight.
Billy got blasted with blue fire but managed to not get himself incinerated. "Impossible," Kalypso said stunned. Billy then zipped behind Kalypso and took hold of the dragon's tail.
"Having a tail is a serious design flaw," Billy mocked.
Kalypso's dragon whipped its tail slamming Billy into the tree. Billy then began firing electrical charges into the dome field creating a lightning storm. The lightning clouds inside the dome struck at the dragons every so often. Kalypso's dragon blasted Billy with fire and then whipped him with its tail against the dome barrier. Billy came up with a punch to the dragon's jaw and then an uppercut. The infuriated dragon gave chase to Billy blasting the ground with blue fire as it did. At this point, more and more of Billy's suit was getting charred by the fire.
Billy then flew in for a final charge. Kalypso's dragon breathed continuous blue fire at him. Billy went through the fire and then underneath it. Cocking his fist back, he then fired lightning through the dragon's midsection, and into the tree causing a massive explosion. The tree disintegrated by the electrical discharge explosion causing the dragon and Kalypso to turn to dust.
"Good job, Billy. Two more to go," Kara complimented.
A weak and injured Billy collapsed on the ground. "Holy shit," he said stunned as the two other dragons were still blasting at the energy dome to escape. Enraged by Kalypso's death and realizing their mortality, the other two dragon riders engaged. The two dragons blasted the ground around Kara creating a firestorm and tearing into the ground. Kara emerged from the flames unharmed and calmly eyed the two flying dragons. With careful aim of the staff, she fired lightning that sliced into the dragon's heart and blasted a hole through its chest. The dragon bled profusely as it fell from the sky and then hit the ground hard in a heap.
Kara aimed at the second dragon and fired off three quick lightning strikes. The first blasted through the dragon's chest, the second through a wing, and the third went through its neck. The dragon quickly came down and slammed into the ground. Hespera arose injured and dumbfounded but still determined. A heat vision beam went through her back and out her chest, killing her on the spot. Kara then nonchalantly marched towards Anthea.
"I didn't want any part of this. My two sisters made me do it. I only wanted peace with the humans. Just let me return to my realm," Anthea begged Kara.
"I believe you," Kara said gently. "Tell you what: Freddy really needs a girlfriend. If you stay with him, I'll let you live."
"Really?" Anthea asked hopefully.
A heat vision beam went through Anthea's chest killing her instantly. "No," Kara shook her head and then went over to an injured Billy. "Not bad, my young apprentice," she complimented.
"I could have died just now," Billy said amazed, and then shouted "Shazam" to go back to being a kid again without any injuries.
"You probably would have if you had said your magic name right before you made the kill," Kara agreed.
"So, does this mean all the gods are gone now?" Billy asked.
"Gods have a tendency to resurrect and not stay dead. Always be vigilante, Billy," Kara instructed.
"Since I did a great job and all, do you think you could hook me up with Wonder Woman?" Billy asked hopefully.
"You're not even eighteen and she's thousands of years old," Kara reminded him.
"And?" Billy wondered.
"Sure, Billy, I'll make it happen. It's been long overdue since I've been to Themyscira," Kara agreed.
31st Century
In the Palace of Gods, thousands of gods including Zeus were assembled for a grand celebration. Gods of all kinds from all over the universe were present for this meeting. A man in a dark cloak entered the great hall. He was bald, had pale skin, black lips, yellowish sunken eyes, and looked like he was up to no good. He came before Zeus on a large platform. Zeus, himself, was on his throne suspended over the platform.
"I come before you, Mighty Zeus, to kill you and all those present here. I seek to kill every god in the universe," Gorr said boldly.
"You think you're so tough? You've only killed a few low-level gods. Who gives a shit? If that's all, take a seat and be quiet," Zeus said condescendingly.
"I don't think you understand the seriousness of the situation. I intend to murder you all," Gorr told him.
"I tell you one time to shut the fuck up, now, you've fucked up and you're this close to not being invited to the orgy," Zeus warned.
"I'm giving you fair warning," Gorr threatened.
In response, Zues place lightning ropes around Gorr's hands keeping him in place on the platform. "Let's see what you really look like," Zeus said and then cast off Gorr's black robes revealing a pale naked muscular man with scars all over his body from countless battles. "Okay, clothes back on," Zeus said disturbed, and placed black robes back on Gorr.
"You are Gorr, the so-called god-killer, a mere mortal, not even a god. Who do you think I am? The king of the gods, no more, no less," Zeus said to him.
"The mighty will fall," Gorr predicted. "You were my hero, but you let my daughter die. Now, I'll make you afraid."
Zeus casually walked up to Gorr and whispered to him so no one else would hear. "I know you're trying to do the right thing, to avenge your daughter's death but killing random gods is not the answer. If I knew of your daughter's plight, I would have intervened. Now, if you bend the knee and hand over the Necro sword to us, you will be safe here. Have some wine, have some bitches, anything goes here."
"I'm going to reach eternity and kill every false god," Gorr promised.
"I have thunderbolt," Zeus said as he whirled the lightning-shaped rod in his hand. "And I see that you left your Necro-sword behind so the fuck you going to do, hmmm?"
"My Necro-sword is here, it's merely in the darkness," Gorr replied. Instantly, Gorr's shadow became alive and stretched out. As it did, other shadows in the room stretched out and combined with his own shadow. These shadows then wrapped around each of the individual gods including Zeus and began to strangle them. The entire hall became dark as if a black tent had been set up. Even Zeus' thunderbolt and shiny armor no longer glowed in the darkness.
"I was born in the darkness, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man and by then it was nothing but blinding," Gorr said as he retrieved his Necro-sword and went to work.
Author's Notes: The events of this chapter belong at the end of AOS Season 6 just prior to Justice League 2. It will be moved once I figure most people have been able to see this chapter. While this movie was a struggle to get through, I felt it was necessary to show Kara being Billy's mentor to make their confrontation in Justice League 2 make more sense. An adaptation of Thor Love and Thunder will be done in AOS The Next Generation at some point so here's a little teaser for that.
