Chapter 57: Intergalactic Games
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Sorry about the wait. It took me a while to find a new source to watch Intergalactic Games. But I'm pleased to say I found one and now have over 650 followers and favorites! Thanks for the patience and support. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
At Capes and Cowls, we see Steve Trevor chatting with Stan at the counter as several customers are enjoying themselves and their meals.
"Stan I can't thank you enough for helping me rebuild," Steve Trevor said.
"Hey, it's an investment. Even Heroes need a place to have a good meal." Stan shrugs.
"I swear I will pay you back every cent you put in on the repairs," Steve Trevor vows.
"Partners?" Stan asks raising his glass.
"Partners," Steve said clinking their glasses and sealing it but right when they did something punched a hole in the window causing everyone to duck for cover to avoid the glass.
Looking up Stan and Steve saw three robots entering the restaurant. One was short and gray, one was tall and blue and the middle one looked to be female-based with silver plating. These were Lead, Iron, and Platinum.
"Uh, I don't suppose you have Motor Oil drinks in the back?" Stan asks but Steve shook his head. "Yeah, I didn't think so."
Meanwhile, at Superhero High, all the students were preparing for the Intergalactic Games.
In the lab, we see Batgirl and Bumblebee with two robots, Supergirl was holding a target and Tony was sitting nearby with a drink in his hand.
"Okay, we've tested movements, close ranges, and accessories. Time for long range. Try to hit the target and Supergirl don't make it easy." Tony said taking a sip.
Nodding Supergirl took flight the two robots fired at her.
"Can't catch me huh?" Supergirl giggles flying around the room when she notices the lasers coming at her from opposite directions.
Flying up she tries to avoid it but gets blasted in the shoe.
"Hey!" Supergirl flinches.
"Oops." Batgirl cringed.
"Sorry Kara," Bumblebee said as they shut down their robots.
"Blaster test, a success, Intergalactic Games here we come." Batgirl grins.
"The Batgirl and Bumblebee Battle Bots are the bomb." Bumblebee grins.
"What did you think?" Batgirl asks looking at Tony.
"Well it's not an Iron Man suit but that might just be me setting the bar high. You got this one in the bag." Tony smirks.
"Nice work," Supergirl said when she picked something up with her super hearing. "There's trouble in Metropolis!"
"Sound the Save the Day Alarm!" Bumblebee gasps.
"You girls go ahead. I'm on it." Tony said as Batgirl got into her jet while Supergirl and Bumblebee flew ahead.
At Capes and Cowls, the three robots smashed the window and were approaching Stan and Steve Trevor.
"We're sorry about that. We should have known the customers are always right." Steve said.
"Just take what you want and leave," Stan said.
"Initiating protocol. Crush humans." Platinum said raising her fist.
Flying in Supergirl grabs the two of them and flies them out before they can get crushed.
"Thanks, Supergirl." Steve smiles.
"Seriously. I thought I was about to check out." Stan smiles.
"You two find cover. We'll handle this." Supergirl said.
As Platinum tries to follow Bumblebee flies in.
"Hey over here you hunk of hardware!" Bumblebee said firing at her forcing Platnium to dodge.
When Iron and Lead smash through the door forcing Bumblebee to fall back.
Dropping down after landing her ship, Batgirl saw the damage.
"Oh man major wreckage," Batgirl said when Wonder Woman, Starfire, Spider-Man, Iron Fist, and Flash arrived.
"We heard the Save the Day Alarm." Wonder Woman said.
"What's going on?" Flash asks when Platnium lifts a truck and throws it aside revealing her, Iron, and Lead wrecking up the streets.
"Robots," Batgirl said as they rushed into action.
"You will not do that on the watch that is mine," Starfire said.
With a glowing fist, Iron Fist punches the crater Lead was about to use to crush some civilians.
"Come on!" Iron Fist said leading them away. When Lead tries to follow Starfire blasts it with Starbolts.
Nearby, Batgirl threw batarrangs at Platinum but she stretched her body causing the attack to go right through her.
"Iron will crush Wonder Woman," Iron said holding a steel girder.
"Bring it." Wonder Woman said ready for this.
Swinging the girder at him, Wonder Woman deflects it but just as she is about to counter her phone rings. "Just a sec, gotta take this. Hi Mom."
"Hi princess how are you?" Hippolyta asks.
However Iron was that interested in letting her talk.
"Just ducky." Wonder Woman said dodging his attacks forcing her back to the others.
"Have you been studying the Treaties of Themyscria that I've been sending you?" Hippolyta asks.
"Well, it's been hectic preparing for the Intergalactic Games." Wonder Woman said when Iron picked up its girder and attacked her but the attack suddenly came to a stop.
"Mind if I cut in?" Popping his head out, we see Spider-Man has stopped the attack.
"Good timing as always Spidey." Wonder Woman smiles.
Pushing back Spider-Man knocks Iron against a white van.
"Which is precisely why you should study the treaties. To impress the Ambassador during the games. This is your chance to get the last spot at the Inaugural Intergalactic Ambassador's Student Summit." Hippolyta said.
"I know it could really help me become a better queen." Wonder Woman said glancing up to see Spider-Man dodging Iron's attacks.
"What the heck are you supposed to be? A cheap Iron Man ripoff?" Spider-Man asks as Iron throws a punch forcing Spider-Man to jump up. "Hope you got a good lawyer because Iron Man will sue your metal ass for copyright infringement."
Firing 2 webs at its arms, Spider-Man swings in and delivers a double kick to the chest knocking it to the ground.
"I could use some help here!" Spider-Man said looking at Wonder Woman who gestured to her phone. "Tag in!" Firing a web he grabs the phone while Wonder Woman attacks Iron. "Hi, Your Majesty good to see you again. How's the pregnancy coming along?"
"Oh, Spider-Man? Do you mind I was talking to my daughter." Hippolyta said.
"I'm sorry you kinda called at a bad time. We're dealing with a little evil robot problem. She'll call you back when we're done." Spider-Man said hanging up.
"Did you just hang up on my mom?" Wonder Woman asks.
"She's called you every day this week," Spider-Man said joining the fight. "I still think you shouldn't have to kiss some Ambassador's ass just to go to this Summit."
"It's a big deal for me." Wonder Woman said blocking Iron's punch with her bracers.
"I just don't want you to demean yourself trying to impress this guy. You're amazing and if he can't see that, then that's on him." Spider-Man said making her smile.
"Aww thank you." Wonder Woman said as both swung a punch nailing Iron in the face.
Behind them, Flash and Iron Fist punched Lead but to their surprise, the robot reformed undoing all the damage.
"What the?" Flash gasps before Lead swings a newsstand like a hammer attempting to crush them.
And Platinum was proving to be a challenge as well.
Flying up she slams Bumblebee down on the roof.
"Feel the burn!" Supergirl said firing heat vision at her but Platinum seemed unaffected.
"Heat Vision, approximately 2000 degrees. Melting point of Platinum 3250 degrees." Platnium said as Supergirl threw a punch only to be blocked. "Platinum speed velocity is 200 miles per hour. Supergirl is only 168 miles per hour. All fault of Super Hero's faulty programming."
Cringing Supergirl managed to break free.
"I'm a person. I don't have programming." Supergirl counters.
"Shame. Platinum is programmed to protect herself and preserve her power. But Supergirl will predictably save humans above all else." Platinum states.
"Help! Help!" Down below we see Lead corner a man whose back was to a building.
"Hang on!" True to Platinum's calculations Supergirl flew in and saved the man just before he could get hurt.
Nearby, Spider-Man fired multiple webs trying to restrain Iron.
"Up with the heads!" Starfire calls out firing starbolts.
Quickly ducking the attack hit a fire extinguisher causing water to rain down including onto Wonder Woman's phone.
"Now I'm really mad." Wonder Woman growls closing it so no more water can escape.
Meeting up the heroes needed a plan.
"We have to stop them," Supergirl said pointing to the three robots trying to destroy buildings.
"What shall we do? Their metal is of the indestructibility." Starfire points out.
"Starfire's right. Every time we get a hit they just reform." Flash adds.
"What we need is another way to stop them." Iron Fist said.
"If only it was easy to ruin them as it was for my phone." Wonder Woman said giving Batgirl an idea.
"That's it. They're robots. Their bodies may be tough but they still depend on technology. They must be powered by computers." Batgirl starts.
"We can scramble their powers we can shut them down," Spider-Man adds.
"Exactly. Magnets scramble computers so if we magnetize our ships." Batgirl said activating her Oracle. "Oracle bring Supergirl's jet to this location."
"Alright while Batgirl works on shutting them down we need to keep the damage to a minimum. Let's go!" Spider-Man said as the other heroes raced in.
As the two climbed into their ships they flew over the street.
"I've armed our jets with electromagnetic pulse blasters. It'll totally shut them down." Batgirl said as they flew in.
"Okay, people first evil robot coming up! Wonder Woman, Iron Fist you're up!" Spider-Man said.
Charging at Lead, Iron Fist delivers a glowing fist to the face sending him airborne allowing Wonder Woman to grab him and fly him up towards the jets.
"Error! Release Lead immediately!" Lead orders but Wonder Woman didn't listen.
Activating the electromagnetic blasters, they zapped Lead causing the robot to shut down immediately.
"One down," Spider-Man said as Starfire and Bumblebee pursued Iron.
Grabbing it by its arms the two heroes lifted it into the air and just like Lead was zapped and forced to shut down.
"Now where's that last—" Before Batgirl could finish she gasped seeing Platinum was holding Stan by his collar over the edge of a building.
"Return Lead and Iron to me or the human shall be destroyed." Platinum threatens.
"Oh no." Wonder Woman gasps.
"This is not my day." Stan gulps.
"Supergirl stick with the plan. Magnetize her on 3. One…two—" Batgirl said as they prepared.
"Too late," Platinum said letting go of Stan causing him to plummet to the ground.
As the two ships zapped Platinum, Spider-Man swung in from below and catches Stan just before impact.
"You okay?" Spider-Man asks.
"I am now. Thanks, Spider-Man." Stan smiles grateful to be alive.
Soon they brought the robots back to Superhero High and in the tech lab, we see Cyborg, Batgirl, Bumblebee, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Big Barda with Dr. Magnus, Waller, and Tony while the robot Platinum was lying motionless on a table nearby and Iron and Lead were leaning against the wall.
"An experiment?!" Waller said demanding an explanation.
"Uh that was a malfunction, but I've made real strides with the technology," Magnus assures.
"You've made strides right into trouble central. I can't have teachers building evil robots." Waller counters. "Especially not now with all the scrutiny around the games."
"But Waller—" Magnus pleads but Waller holds up her hand silencing him.
"Stark you're no stranger to technology what do you and the Student Tech committee think?" Waller asks.
Pausing Tony looks at it. "Well it's definitely powerful I'll give you that doc, but something tells me there's something else you haven't pointed out yet."
"Yeah, it's got some kind of wicked chip in there," Cyborg said.
"But this technology could change the world. I call it the Responsometer." Doc Magnus said showing them a small round object barely bigger than Tony's arc reactor.
"What does it do?" Batgirl asks.
"It makes robots more human. Gives them free will. We know the robots are powerful. Today they proved they could stand up to some of the toughest heroes." Magnus said gesturing to the students.
"Yeah we figured that out when they tried to take us down." Batgirl glares.
"But what if they were fighting villains instead? If the robots could make good choices, they could be superheroes. Overnight we could double, even triple the number of certified heroes and stop evil worldwide." Magnus explains.
While Tony seemed interested in the thought, the others had different thoughts.
"What do you think?" Waller asks.
"We need to destroy them," Spider-Man said stepping forward. "Listen Doc I got nothing against your whole idea add more heroes to the world but this is not the way to go. If anything they proved these robots make bad choices."
"Spider-Man is right, these robots are corrupt and need to be destroyed." Batgirl agrees.
Hearing their opinion, the others were immediately on board when suddenly Lena walked in with her phone in hand.
"Hi Principal Waller, I just wanted to let you know that I increased the WIFI capacity and we can handle all our guests for the games," Lena informs.
"Thank you, Lena," Waller said unaware of Lena taking a picture of the Responsometer.
"Sounds like you're really on top of all the IT girl duties," Batgirl said happy to see her old position is in good hands.
"I try, anything else I can do for you?" Lena asks.
"Actually yes, these robots need to be put in secure disposal."
"Yeah, sure," Lena said not having a problem with it.
As Lena took Platinum away to be disposed of she stopped at the giant secure disposal but instead of throwing Platinum in she tossed in some small gears and kept the robot for herself.
Meanwhile, in Apokolips, we see Granny Goodness and the Female Furies looking at an image of the Responsometer.
"The Responsometer." Granny grins.
"What's that got to do with us?" Lashina asks.
"That fool at Super Hero High created it to make more heroes." Granny mocks. "But combine it with our Apokolipstion robots and we'll have the greatest army ever seen." She grins.
"Ooh wicked." Mad Harriet grins.
"Stompa like army," Stompa agrees.
"The Responsometers will allow the robots to act on their own spreading our Apokolipstion throughout the galaxy." Granny declares.
"Uh, we're wanted criminals. Not to mention the Avengers. If you think they're just gonna let us walk in and take it you're getting crazy in your old age." Lashina points out.
Immediately Granny grabs her and yanks her in.
"Lashina. Don't forget your place." Granny threatens with a cold look in her eyes causing Lashina to instantly take back what she said.
"Yes, Granny Goodness." Lashina nodded as she was freed.
"Our ally at Super Hero High who sent us this picture has arranged safe passage for us. Super Hero High will be forced to welcome us. This is your chance to get your revenge on that traitor, Big Barda, and give her the punishment she deserves." Granny Goodness explains.
"Yes." Lashina grins before turning to her allies. "Furies Forever! Furies Forever!" She said as they joined in the chant.
Back at Super Hero High, we see all the heroes preparing for the games.
As Big Barda was standing in front of a cannon that shot training dummies at her.
"I'll sing you a song to swear my allegiance. I'll tell you a tale of loyalty strong." Big Barda sang whacking the dummies and sending them flying.
Nearby Wonder Woman had a clipboard and noticed her singing.
"Hey, Wonder Woman." Big Barda said stopping her training.
"What are you doing?" Wonder Woman asks.
"Practicing my villain launch. You know, my event for the games." Big Barda points out.
"Not that part. The singing part." Wonder Woman clarifies.
"Oh, it's just some song from when I was a kid. It helps me focus. It's one of those ear snakes." Big Barda said.
"You mean earworm?" Wonder Woman corrects.
"On Apokolips, we called them ear snakes. Because if Granny Goodness heard you singing you'd have rather be bit by a snake." Big Barda warns making Wonder Woman pause.
"Well, that's nostalgic. Good luck." Wonder Woman said walking away.
As Big Barda got back to training, Wonder Woman noticed Shadowcat doing a maze event. Or rather running through the maze.
Running as fast she could Shadowcat ran through each wall before finally coming out the end and slamming down on the buzzer.
"Time." She pants as Dazzler shows her time. "Yes."
"Well, that's one way to win an event." Wonder Woman said.
"Hey, the rules say you have to get from one end to the maze. The only thing you can't do is fly over it. Technically this counts." Shadowcat points out.
"We'll be counting on you. What about you Dazzler? What event are you in?" Wonder Woman asks.
"I was originally going to be in the shooting event but Spider-Man found me a better job. I'm gonna be the opening act to the games. Complete with my own personal fireworks." Dazzler declares.
"Oh my god that's so awesome." Shadowcat squeals. "Please tell me you have a new song."
"Been working on it for weeks." Dazzler nods.
"How did Jaden manage to convince Waller to let you do that?" Wonder Woman asks.
"He's just full of surprises." Shadowcat smiles.
"Yeah, I'll have to come up with some way to thank for this later." Dazzler agrees.
"Well you two keep it up." Wonder Woman said flying away.
Arriving at the flying course, we see Hawkgirl having completed the course.
"Hola Wonder Woman." Hawkgirl acknowledges. "Should you need any help in your duties as head of the games committee like enforcing rules or making sure Korugar Academy isn't cheating I'm here for you," Hawkgirl said.
"Thanks, Hawkgirl." Wonder Woman said checking this off the list and flying away.
Flying by the giant beams, Wonder Woman saw Nightwing do a series of flips and spins that could put a professional gymnast to shame.
"Whoa, Nightwing. Not bad." Wonder Woman said as he stuck the landing.
"Piece of cake," Nightwing assures. "So is Spidey really not competing in this?"
"We got him registered for Round 1 as an alternate in case we want to change things up but he seems determined to sit this one out." Wonder Woman said.
"I swear that guy is so unpredictable. You can't get a solid read on him." Nightwing shook his head.
"Oh…I think it adds to his charm." Wonder Woman giggles before flying away.
"Princesses." Nightwing shook his head amused.
You see Jaden had spent more time helping everyone prepare for their events than any for himself.
Arriving at the stadium, Wonder Woman saw Supergirl and Starfire flying around shooting heat vision and starbolts at the targets hitting them all dead center.
When they finished Starfire flew over.
"Is it time? Have they made their arrival?" Starfire asks excitedly.
"Not yet, Starfire." Wonder Woman assures as Starfire reaches into her suit and pulls out a beautiful glowing flower.
"I made this gift of good luck and welcoming. Do you think it will be appreciated by my knifster?" Starfire asks.
"Knifster? Oh you mean your sister, Blackfire." Wonder Woman realized.
"Yes, on Tamaran we say knifster. It is like your sister on Earth but on my planet, it means so much more than just sharing DNA. It actually means girls who have the bond of the eternal." Starfire translates.
"That's beautiful. I'm sure Blackfire will love it." Wonder Woman assures.
"Ooh, I cannot wait," Starfire said excitedly.
"Hey Diana a word." Looking up, Wonder Woman saw her dad, Tony, and Stephen in casual wear but they also had Clint, Natasha, and Sam with them as well.
"Hey Dad, what are you guys doing here?" Wonder Woman asks.
"Checking to make sure we got good seats for the games," Steve said.
"As mentors, we need to make sure the students representing our teams don't do anything to embarrass us," Sam said.
"So wait you guys aren't gonna be at the judge's table?" Wonder Woman asks.
"Hard pass. Where's the fun in that?" Clint asks.
"Plus Waller said since we're all too invested in you kids we might play favorites and give you more points," Stephen said.
"Like a certain father," Natasha said as they glanced at Steve.
"What? I wouldn't give my own daughter a perfect score out of nowhere." Steve said.
"Yes you would," Tony said almost instantly. "Anyway, I got us all front-row seats so we can watch and judge you kids ourselves."
"Well, hopefully, we can make you guys proud." Wonder Woman said before taking off.
Making her way inside, Diana sighs relieved to be almost done. As she passes by rooms on her way to the IT room she hears a familiar chirping noise.
Peeking inside, she saw Jaden working on some upgrades to TRACE-E.
"Alright TRACE-E how does it feel?" Jaden asks as TRACE-E stretches each leg before looking at him and nods. "Perfect."
"Hey, what are you up to?" She asks walking in.
"Oh hey. I took a little break from training to fix TRACE-E up." Jaden said.
"Oh, anything handy?" Diana asks curious.
"A few things. So is everything ready for the games?" Jaden asks.
"Yep. Are you sure you don't want to sign up for any events? It's not too late. I don't think anyone will mind stepping down." Diana asks.
"I'm fine just being an alternate. If Waller wants to switch me out for Round 1, she can but I don't mind giving other people the spotlight. Besides this way, I can cheer for you girls the loudest when you win." Jaden said making her giggle.
"Ooh does that mean if we win you'll be the first to congratulate us?" Diana asks interested.
"I think something can be arranged." Jaden chuckles as she hugs him from behind.
"Thanks for choosing me to lead the team." Diana smiles.
"You were the best choice," Jaden said which caused Diana to kiss him on the cheek.
"Still I hope we do get to see you compete. Something tells me you would make the Games very entertaining." She said walking out.
Looking at them TRACE-E chirps resembled a wolf whistle this time.
"Oh knock it off you." Jaden chuckles.
Finally arriving at the IT Room, Wonder Woman knocks on the door.
"Lena, how are the improvements on the Hero Ball Stadium coming along?" She asks opening the door to see Lena fiddling with her hair.
"Good. Great. Excellent." Lena assures before noticing a stray Kryptomite emerging from under her desk. Acting quickly she kicked it out of view and stood up. "There's several new features that'll make the game really exciting during the big game on Friday."
"Wow, you've really gone all out with the randomized floor traps." Wonder Woman said noticing one panel.
"And that's not all, but I can't let the Captain of our Hero Ball team find out about these surprises. Wouldn't be fair." Lena said pushing Wonder Woman to the door.
"Well okay. Thanks, Lena." She said.
"Sure anytime. Bye." Lena said closing the door and locking it. "You can come out now."
Hearing this the Kryptomite walked over to her. "Soon my little Kryptomite. Soon." She said with an evil grin.
At the final stadium where Lena had everything set up for the Hero Ball game, we see Principal Waller leading a man with brown hair styled similar to Wolverine's hairdo, wearing an elegant blue super suit with a cape and black pants. This was Ambassador Garren Bek.
"This stadium will make an excellent venue for the finale of the games," Bek said when Waller noticed Wonder Woman flying in.
"Oh and here comes one of our top students. Wonder Woman." Waller introduces.
"Ambassador Bek. I hope the council is pleased." Wonder Woman said bowing to him.
"Most pleased. We are proud that two superb schools will be competing for the Championship." Bek said.
"Our thanks to the council for sponsoring the games. May they bring peace throughout the galaxy through friendly competition." Wonder Woman said standing up.
"And may my fortune be even greater that I find the final participant to attend next week's exclusive student summit," Bek said making her smile at the thought.
"Yes I hope—" Before she could finish a large black and yellow ship flew over their heads. "Korugar! They're early." She gasps.
"They better not be parking on my lawn." Waller glares.
However much to the gardener's disappointment the Korugar ship landed right on top of a rose hedge crushing part of it into weeds.
As everyone scrambled to get ready for the opening ceremony Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Bumblebee, and Starfire all put on formal dresses while Mary Jane was still in her room.
"Man, what do I wear?" Deciding to go simple she put her Spider-Woman mask on over a black dress with red highlights.
"Superheroes and high heels are not a smart combination." Tossing them aside she puts on flats and runs out.
Up in front of the school all the school students were donning their super suits and waiting for it to begin when a floating platform flew in with Beast Boy and Harley sitting inside it.
"Welcome, Harley fans to your Harley Quin-tessential play by play by play of the opening ceremony to the Intergalactic Games!" Harley declares as the 6 Super Hero Girls make their way out carrying the flag.
"And here comes the home team, my personal favs. Super Hero High!" Beastboy declares.
"Well, don't they look smashing?" Taking out a watermelon Harley smashes it with her mallet to emphasize her point.
"Yeah, totally fly," Beastboy said turning into a bird to emphasize his.
"And the visitors from Korugar Academy." Bek declares.
Emerging from the ship, we see a man with purple skin and a yellow lantern uniform. This was Sinestro. Following him was his team of Mongal, Maxima, Lobo, Bleez, Nova, and finally Blackfire.
"Ooh, that nasty ray of fright is Headmaster Sinestro." Harley introduces.
"That guy gives me the heebie jeebies." Beast Boy said.
"Okay, guys I know we all want to win but the Ambassador is watching so make sure we have good sportsmanship." Wonder Woman insists.
"Yeah," Bumblebee said.
"You got it." Batgirl agrees.
"Uh, should we really be focusing on what one guy wants more than what our school wants?" Spider-Woman asks.
"Don't worry we're still gonna win. We have to try not to be so in your face about it." Wonder Woman said.
"If you say so," Spider-Woman said unsure about it.
"Blackfire! Blackfire! It's me! Your knifster!" Starfire calls out but Blackfire doesn't seem to acknowledge her. "Perhaps she didn't hear me?" Starfire asks a little hurt by that.
"Yeah, I'm sure that's what it was," Batgirl said trying to be supportive.
As Korugar stood opposite the Super Hero High team, Wonder Woman and Sinestro stepped forward.
"Welcome, we look forward to competing with you." Wonder Woman said holding out her hand.
"Of course you do. Now if your mundanities are complete I believe it's time for my speech." Sinestro brushes up.
Flying up Sinestro stands next to where he will light the flame and looks out at the students of Super Hero High.
"Thank you for having us on your humble planet. Having coached Korugar Academy to victory in the past 8 games—" Sinestro said doing his speech.
"Oh knifster I have missed you," Starfire said giving Blackfire a hug.
"Starfire. I see you haven't changed. How unfortunate." Blackfire said.
"I made for you the gift of the luck that is good," Starfire said giving her the flower.
"Luck? We're Korugar Academy we don't need luck. Only students with the greatest superpowers are accepted. Not like your school who lets in mere mortals." Blackfire said before pointing to Batgirl and Nightwing. "Like those two."
"Us?" Batgirl asks.
"Am I mistaken? Do either of you have super speed? Super strength? Can you fly?" Blackfire asks.
"In a jet." Nightwing counters.
"The only thing you two are super at is being boring." Blackfire mocks.
"But Batgirl and Nightwing are friends of mine. Nightwing is even the leader of the Titans of which I am also a teammate." Starfire defends.
"You let this guy order you around? Then maybe you need this more than I do. Super Hero High will need all the luck they can get." Blackfire holds the gift out but it slips from her fingers and breaks upon contact with the ground. "Oops," Blackfire said walking away.
Looking down at her gift Starfire began to tear up.
"Hey don't let what she said get to you," Nightwing said approaching her but immediately Starfire hugged and sniffled.
Sighing Nightwing returned the hug. "It's gonna be okay." He said patting her on the back.
"And now let the games begin!" Sinestro said lighting the torch causing the students to cheer.
But that moment was short-lived as a portal opened and suddenly a large tank leaped through and flattened more of the garden.
As the hatch opened they saw the Female Furies.
"The Female Furies?" Big Barda gasps seeing her old teammates.
"And they're on my lawn." Waller groans hating this.
"Granny Goodness," Vixen growls as she steps forward.
"Please supers. We came seeking peace. The same peace the ambassadors are seeking with these games." Granny Goodness declares approaching the podium.
"Anyone got a clear shot?" Spider-Man asks.
"One wrong move and she's toast," Stargirl said readying her staff while Jolt Arachnid took a stance.
"Should I get the other guy ready?" Brian whispers.
"Not yet Brian. Granny doesn't know about you so we can use that." Spider-Man whispers.
"Ambassador Garren Bek I presume. I am Granny Goodness, dean of the Apokolips Magnet School. We received an invitation from your council." Granny said presenting him with it.
"Ambassador Bek don't listen to a thing she says. Granny and the Furies tried to brainwash our school and poisoned one of my teachers to break out of prison." Waller points out.
"Amanda, I understand you are used to running things around here, but do remember that the games are the jurisdiction of the council." Bek reminds before examining the invite. "Hmm. This does appear official. It's not the decision I would make but I trust the council has its reasons. As ambassadors, it is our mission to promote peace. Today we uphold that mission by allowing Apokolips Magnet to participate in the Championships." Bek declares making the Furies cheer.
"This is not gonna be good." Big Barda said.
"Amp up security and tell all supers to keep their masks on and not say any secret identities." Waller orders.
"I'll install fingerprint scanners on every door. The school will only be accessible to our students." Magnus assures.
"Good, the Furies are up to something," Waller said not fooled for a second by this.
"And now we feast!" Bek declares ending the opening ceremony.
"What do you think?" Spider-Woman asks.
"Come on guys, as long as they follow the rules we should promote peace as well." Wonder Woman said.
"Spoken like a true ambassador," Bumblebee said.
"But we still want to win right?" Supergirl asks
"More than ever." Wonder Woman grins as they all begin chanting.
Nearby in the IT room, we see Lena watching all this.
"Ah I love the smell of impending doom." Reaching up, Lena takes her hair off revealing it was actually a wig and she was bald. "Ah feels good to let my hair down."
Walking over to a table, Lena worked in Platinum while her Kryptomite was banging against the door wanting to leave.
"Not yet. You need to keep that mischief bottled up inside until Friday, okay?" Lena reminded making the little Krypotmite groaned in an annoyed and bored tone.
After making some adjustments Platinum's eyes turned on and she sat up.
"Rebooting. Thank you, master." Platinum said.
"Master? Indeed. But we're in undercover mode so call me, Lena." Taking off her glasses, Lena allows Platinum to scan her.
"Lena Thurol, employed by Super Hero High School as IT Specialist. No criminal record." Platinum starts causing Lena to burst into laughter.
"You're a riot Platinum, that's what I hacked the school computer to say but between you and me Thurol isn't my real last name," Lena admits.
"I am programmed to keep secrets." Platinum states.
"Great. Do as you're programmed and everything will be super. Or should I say unsuper? See what I did there?" Lena jokes.
"Ha ha ha good one," Platinum said lightly chuckling at that.
Soon it was time for dinner and all the students of Super Hero High were wearing formal clothes with their own touches. Jaden kept his Spider-Man mask on while wearing a tux.
"Never thought I would attend a dinner like this," Spider-Man said walking in only to see tables filled with amazing and delicious food. "Whoa."
As everyone took their seats Big Barda sat at a table next to the Female Furies.
Nearby, Bek sat at a table with Waller, Sinestro, Grodd, and Granny.
"Now as you say on Earth, dig in," Bek said as the feast began.
"Hey Big Barda, we saved you a seat," Lashina calls out getting her attention. "Once a Fury always a Fury, right?"
"Ignore them, they're using known tactics to mess with you." Lady Shiva said.
"Thanks, Shiva." Big Barda smiles before digging in.
"Lashina don't be so upset about Big Barda. She has new friends now." Artemiz said.
"And she'll probably leave them in a lurch too, just like us." Mad Harriet said.
"Stompa no like lurch," Stompa said angering Barda.
"It wasn't a lurch. It was a prison. We were doing our time." Big Barda corrects.
"But you didn't do your time. You betrayed us to get out. Gotta give you credit you convinced that idiot Spider-Man you actually went good." Lashina mocks getting glares.
"Okay you girls have said enough," Spider-Man said walking over.
"Ooh did we make the little spider angry?" Lashina mocks as the furies laugh at him.
Needless to say, the others were curious how he was gonna respond.
"Alright hold up. You girls don't get a bitch pass just because we let you into the school. If you're gonna act like an ass I'm gonna treat you like an ass. And then tomorrow we're gonna kick your ass. So you might want to have ice packs at the ready." Spider-Man said making everyone from Super Hero High snickered as the Female Furies blushed in embarrassment.
Growling the Female Furies were about to counter but Spider-Man holds up his hands.
"Hold up ladies. You hit me and you'll be back in Belle Reve before we even get to dessert." Spider-Man said making them pause in realization. "Yeah, that's right. If you wanna bash us we can bash you right back. Now you can either sit down, shut your mouth, and enjoy the first decent meal you've had in who knows how long or we can have ourselves a little pre-game entertainment. Your call."
Grumbling the 5 Furies looked to Granny who glared telling them to keep it together.
"Smart call. Save the looks of disappointment for when wipe the floor with you in front of an audience." Spider-Man said walking away.
As he made his way back to his table Jolt Arachnid calps him on the back.
"Dude I can't believe you just walked up to them like that and bashed the Furies at their own table." He laughs.
"Hey, no one talks like that to my friends and gets away with it." Spider-Man shrugs while TRACE-E giggles amused by this.
"Wasn't really sportsmanlike of him but I'll let it slide this one time." Wonder Woman giggles.
"Boy are they gonna be disappointed he's not a regular." Supergirl whispers.
"A little extra screw you and they don't even know it yet." Batgirl snickers.
Back in the IT room, the Kryptomite was banging its head against the door bored out of its mind. Tired to being forced to sit around and wait, the Kryptomite rammed against the door creating a small dent, and unlocked the door much to the little pest's joy.
Now finally free, the Kryptomite ran into the school towards the feast.
Tilting up the bottom half of his mask, Spider-Man took a bite of his meal.
"Boy, you sure seem hungry." Walking over, we see Zatanna in a sparkling black and purple dress sitting down next to him.
"Don't eat like this often. Trying to make it last." Spider-Man said as Catwoman in a sexy black dress sat on his other side.
"Sweetie you continue to amaze me. You bashed the Furies at their own table and they just sat there and took it." She giggles.
"Hey, we were all thinking it I just said it," Spider-Man said.
"Well, we thank for it," Zatanna said pecking him on the cheek.
"You call that a thank you?" Leaning in Catwoman kisses him on the lips.
Across from them at the Champion's table, Starfire looked over at Blackfire and got up.
"Where are you going?" Supergirl asks.
"I must see if this gala is to Blackfire's enjoyment," Starfire said causing the other teammates to pause.
"Really? But uh isn't she mean? And I'm putting that lightly." Batgirl asks recalling what she did with Starfire's gift. "Why do you keep trying with her?"
"Blackfire has been mean. But she has also been sweeter than the pie of the Gorka berries. I must give her another chance." Starfire said walking away.
"If that's sweet, I wonder what's classified as sour on her planet?" Spider-Woman asks.
At the Korugar table, Starfire approaches her sister.
"Hello knifster, is this seat taken?" Starfire asks.
"Sadly no," Blackfire said as Starfire sat down.
"I do not know why you are upset with me. Have I done something to offend you?" Starfire asks as Blackfire briefly stops eating.
"Actually you have. Your whole superhero lifestyle is what offends me. We are princesses of Tamaran. I shouldn't have to endure the thought of my sister who lowers herself to help humans." Blackfire explains.
"I am sorry for your distress." Starfire frowns.
"If you were really sorry you'd drop out of Super Hero High and join Korugar where you can truly learn to use your powers for the good of our planet. Don't you want what's best for our family and Tamaran?" Blackfire asks.
"Yes." Narrowing her eyes, Starfire decided to try something. "If Korugar is victorious I will leave Super Hero High and join you."
"Deal." Blackfire grins holding out her hand to seal it.
"But if Super Hero High wins, you have to do what I want." Starfire quickly adds.
"Which is?" Blackfire asks retracting her hand.
"You will answer my calls and make responses to my e-messages. And like my updates of status of social media. Plus you shall spend one day of funship with me." Starfire said.
"Day of Funship?" Blackfire asks unsure what she means.
"24 hours of the bonding of the knipsters." Starfire corrects.
"Sure why not? While you're at it you might as well ask me to join your Titans group." Blackfire mocks.
"Ooh would you?" Starfire asks excited at the idea.
Glancing at her teammates eating Blackfire knew her response. "There's no way we'll lose so you got yourself a deal." Blackfire said as they shook hands sealing it.
As she went back to her seat no one noticed the Kryptomite sneak into the room and noticed Mongal drop a meatball off her plate.
Grinning the little fella kicks it across the room causing it to hit Lashina in the face.
"Ew. Who did this?" Lashina asks before noticing Katana and Iron Fist laughing.
"Good one Iron Fist." Katana smiles.
"Katana." Lashina accuses.
Grabbing some pie she hurls it at Katana but when Katana bends down to pick up her napkin it hits Bleez causing her to fall face-first into her plate.
Growling she got up and grabbed a handful of food.
"FOOD FIGHT!" Harley declares as everyone immediately begins throwing food at each other.
Quickly jumping off the table, TRACE-E was about to run for cover when it noticed a small hint of green running around. Narrowing its eyes the little robot had a change of plans.
"Cease! Stop it this instant!" Bek orders but they kept throwing food.
As a banana hit Grodd he just shrugged it off and kept eating.
"For Croc's sake. You're breaking the peace." Bek said as a bowl of borscht flew at him.
"Stay behind me." Flying in Wonder Woman tried to deflect it but it just smashed on her. "Ew guess my bracelets can only deflect bullets, not food."
Deciding to change a plan, she flipped the table to shield them.
While the Ambassador was crying over the mess, Wonder Woman tried to stop it.
"Okay everyone that's enough!" Wonder Woman calls out but she just got hit with more food for trying to stop the fun.
As the Kryptomite ran under the table closest to Supergirl she floated down feeling weak.
"Hey, you okay?" Batgirl asks concerned.
"I feel weak." Supergirl groans.
Looking over, Batgirl sees the Kryptomite emerge from under the table.
"A Krypotmite?" Batgirl gasps.
Seeing it was busted the little creature tried to make a run for it only to be tackled by something.
Tumbling into the hallway, the Kryptomite found itself being glared down by TRACE-E.
Chirping TRACE-E told it the party was over.
Leaping in TRACE-E fires a web pinning it to an open locker
As the Kryptomite tries to break free TRACE-E repeatedly smacks the locker door against it.
"Good work TRACE-E keep it there until I bring help," Batgirl said signaling Spider-Man.
"Spider-Man, do you read me?" Batgirl asks.
Throwing a pie it landed right into Beastboy's mouth. "Score! Yeah, what's up?" Spider-Man answers.
"A Krpytomite is in the school. TRACE-E has it pinned down but we need Frost and Ivy's formula to destroy it." Batgirl said.
"On it." Firing two webs, Spider-Man yanks them away. "Sorry Ladies you're needed elsewhere," Spider-Man said swinging out.
Making their way outside with their Anti-K, the 4 of them see TRACE-E and the Kryptomite throwing down.
As the Kryptomite tackles TRACE-E throwing multiple hits the robot raced to the wall and rammed against it causing the Kryptomite to fall off.
Firing two webs TRACE-E pins it to the ground and delivers a punch to the face.
"Wow, that is one tough little robot." Batgirl said impressed.
"Way to go TRACE-E guess compared to you Kryptomites don't stand a chance," Spider-Man said as TRACE-E chirped in a bashful tone.
Firing the Anti-K, the Kryptomite turned back into a normal rock.
"Phew, that could have been a disaster," Batgirl said.
Back at the feast, Wonder Woman was looking around for a way to stop this when she noticed Zatanna using her magic to levitate several dishes.
"Zatanna! I need your help." Wonder Woman calls out.
Putting the dishes down Zatanna ran over.
"What do you need?" Zatanna asks.
"Use your magic to amplify the mics we need to stop this." Wonder Woman said.
"Emulov esaercni." Zatanna chants as Wonder Woman grabs the mic up to the speakers and as the loud feedback echoes through the room everyone cringes in pain forcing them to stop until Zatanna shuts down the volume.
Walking over, Ambassador Bek took the microphone from Wonder Woman.
"Students. You should be ashamed of yourselves. If that kind of nonsense happens again I am canceling the games." Bek declares. "Now go to your rooms and prepare for tomorrow's competition."
As all of the students left the room, Wonder Woman approached the ambassador.
"Are you alright?" Wonder Woman asks.
"Absolutely not! I have garlic in my eye. I expected more from you." Bek scolds before leaving.
As Wonder Woman hugged her head, Zatanna and Bumblebee walked over.
"Hey don't let him get you down. The only reason it stopped was because of your quick thinking." Zatanna said.
"Yeah don't listen to garlic eye," Bumblebee adds.
"Thanks guys." Wonder Woman smiles feeling better.
Soon Waller met with Spider-Man, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, and Frost.
"Another Kryptomite? I thought we cleared these things out of Metropolis." Waller asks.
"Well, apparently one slipped under the radar," Spider-Man gestured.
"But luckily the Anti-K still works like a charm." Poison Ivy smiles.
"Frost, Ivy make sure we have plenty of your solution ready. There might be more of these monsters out there." Waller said looking at the rock.
Little did Waller know she was so right.
In the abandoned LexCorp factory, Lena had a whole Kryptomite assembly line that loaded them all into a container.
"Precious, all my baby Kryptomites in a row. I'm so glad I figured out how to build you cute little butterballs of destruction." Lena said while Platinum was nearby being told to watch tons of footage of superheroes. Including the Avengers vs the Chitauri invasion.
"Platinum have you analyzed the footage and their fighting techniques?" Lena asks.
"Yes, but I do not understand the reason for these many strange deviations in the behavior of superheroes in comparison to normal people. They act strangely for no reason." Platinum said.
"It's called Heroism," Lena said disgusted.
"Heroism?" Turning her attention back to the screen her eyes focused on the heroes.
The next day, at the main Metropolis stadium, heroes and spectators were gathering for round 1 of the games.
At the front we see Lois talking to a teenage girl with brown skin, long brown hair, a black sleeveless shirt, blue jeans, and a green jacket wrapped around her waist. This was Jessica Cruz.
"Okay, Jess you ready?" Lois asks as Jessica adjusts her camera.
"Ready Lois." Jessica said as Lois was about to begin when suddenly Harley butts in and shuts this down.
"Beat it girlies! Today it's the Harley Quinn show!" Harley declares as she began her opening.
"Lois are you okay?" Jess asks.
"Whatever happened to freedom of the press?" Lois groans when a hand helps her up.
"Yeah, Harley's really into her role as MC," Jaden said standing in his civilian wear.
"Jaden." Getting up Lois gives him a big hug. "So glad you could make it. Jessica Cruz meet Jaden Cooper."
"Oh, you're the one who's taking over my old job as cameraman." Jaden realizes.
"Yep, that's me. Nice to meet you." Jessica said as they shook hands.
"We better get inside and find our seats the opening event is about to start," Jaden said.
"Yeah, good idea," Jessica said as they walked inside.
Making sure the coast was clear Lois leans in.
"You sure you should be with us? What if they need you?" Lois whispers.
"Waller give me a message but if it happens can I count on you to cover for me?" Jaden whispers.
"Like you even have to ask," Lois smirks giving him a peck on the cheek.
Making their way to the stands everyone looked to see a small stage.
"Alright, folks and now for our opening act! We give you a special performance by Dazzler!" Harley said as we Dazzler with Cheetah, Katana, and Beast Boy on instruments.
"Alright everyone, this song goes out to all the heroes participating in the games and all heroes in the world. This is for you. Hit it!" Dazzler said as music began to echo through the stadium.
(Play Make My Story English Cover by Megami33)
I know what I have to do now
It's my life, one and only
Man I've cried so many times,
I try to stop, but they keep on coming!
Why go with a simple life...
If I never learn to overcome it?
Follow my way!
There's always tough times waiting ahead!
Follow my way!
Gotta face whatever's around the bend!
No one's gonna stop me,
From being able to reach my dreams!
I know what I have to do now!
All life someday finds,
All answers buried way deep inside,
And I know I just found mine!
Make My Story!
I want to keep living for myself and forever more!
An I vow that I'll be,
Nobody else, but me!
I'll show this world and continue to explore!
There will be days
I'll keep on crying & let it all out,
but I'll always think back, and get back on track!
I'll keep on moving on without a doubt!
One and only!
(Song End)
When Dazzler finished the audience burst into cheers applauding her.
"Now let the Intergalactic Games…BEGIN!" Dazzler threw several balls of light into the air causing them to explode into fireworks.
Making his way back to the booth, Beast Boy joins Harley as the first events start.
The first event was a sprint with Flash representing Super Hero High, Speed Queen representing Apokolips, and Lobo representing Korugar.
As the whistle blew, the two super speed heroes raced ahead leaving Lobo in the dust but they were so fast they needed a photo finish to see who crossed it first.
Bringing it up on the monitor everyone saw the winner was…Flash!
"And Flash clobbers the competition in the Super Speed Sprint!" Harley declares.
In the next event, we see Lashina against Mongal and Catwoman.
Flicking her whip, Lashina hits the first three targets easily but falls short at the last one earning an 8.2.
"Lashina gets a sweet 8.2 in the long-distance whip," Beastboy said.
"Ha measly." Harley mocks as it is Catwoman's turn.
"Beat that Kitty girl." Lashina mocks.
"The name's Catwoman." Catwoman glares.
"Whatever I didn't even think you liked this stuff," Lashina said.
"I don't," Catwoman said before glancing up at the audience and saw Jaden looking at her. "But someone knew how to motivate me."
Snapping her whip Catwoman strikes the first 3 before leaping up into the air, doing a series of spins, she flicks her whip sideways whacking the 4th target and sticking the landing.
"Meow," Catwoman smirked as both girls glared at her.
Standing up Bek gave Catwoman a perfect 10.
"That's what's up! Perfect 10 for Catwoman!" Beastboy said.
"Aw yeah, this cat knows how to land on her feet!" Harley said as Catwoman looked at Jaden and smirked.
Sighing Jaden knew he would have to reward her later for this.
Super Hero High won the first 2 events but these games were far from over as the events pressed on. Each one was more intense than the last.
In the weapons round, we see Katana clashing with Mad Harriet.
In the Skeet Shoot, we see Frost facing Artemiz and Maxima.
As the targets shot into the air, Frost froze all the ones in her direction while Artemiz shot them down with her arrows. However, Maxima just smirks as she fires a golden beam from her head hitting all the targets as they shoot out of the cannons.
"And Maxima goes for maximum damage in the Skeet Shoot." Beastboy declares.
The next event was the gymnastics. As Nightwing runs to the platform he leaps bounces off leaps over the bar and sticks the landing with ease.
"No wonder he's called Nightwing because that dude was soaring!" Harley said as Starfire applauded him happily.
Next up Mongal ran across the field and when she leaps high over the bar but when she comes down her landing is messy as she twists her ankle causing the whole crowd to cringe.
"Ooh, that's gotta hurt." Tony cringed.
"My ankle." Mongal groans falling over.
Walking out Wonder Woman offers to help but Mongal brushes her aside and tries to stand on her own. But when she struggles Wonder Woman helps her off the field.
"That's my girl." Steve smiles proudly.
"Well apparently the Ambassador was a fan of that too," Sam said pointing to Bek who was smiling.
In the hand-to-hand combat event, Lady Shiva was facing Stompa but lost.
Soon the score was Super Hero High 90, Korugar 110, and Apokolips 50.
"Better say goodbye to your friends. Korugar has this in the bag." Blackfire said walking away as her team scores another 10 points moving up to 120.
In another event, we see Shadowcat, Speed Queen, and Lobo at the maze event.
As Kitty was phasing through the walls Lobo was hot on her tail but he just smashed through each wall gaining on her.
However, as both made it to the end they saw Speed Queen pressing the buzzer with a smirk on her face.
Soon we came to the second to last event, in it we saw Nova facing Stargirl and Lashina who was equipped with hover shoes.
As they took off, Nova began to take the lead until Lashina rammed into him causing him to spin out of control.
Looking at Stargirl, Lashina was about to do the same but Stargirl saw this. Leaning to the side, Stargirl leaps off the edge and over Lashina.
Gasping Lashina's eyes widen as Stargirl smacks her with her star rod causing her to fall back allowing her to race ahead and hit the buzzer.
"Yes!" Stargirl cheers as Spider-Woman, Shadowcat, and Jaden clap for their friend.
"And Stargirl kicks the competition right in the kisser with the aerial obstacle course." Harley declares.
Looking at the scoreboard, Waller saw the score was Super Hero High 200, Korugar 210, and Apokolips 180. There was only one event left.
"Alright, folks for this final event each school will pick two members to represent them." Harley declares.
"Ooh double trouble," Beastboy said.
"It doesn't matter who you pick Waller, it'll end the same with my school winning and your school losing." Sinestro mocks.
Narrowing her eyes, Waller took out her phone and sent a message.
In the stands, Jaden received a text and saw it was from Waller.
"We need you in the next event. Suit up." It read.
As much as Jaden wasn't a fan of this it was the last event. It wouldn't hurt to participate once.
"Okay, I'll be there. And for my partner…" When Jaden replies Waller sees his pick and grins liking where this is going.
"Girls I'll be right back. I need to take care of something." Jaden said getting up.
"You have to leave? But it's the final event." Jessica gestures.
"Sorry Jess, but hey I promise I'll meet you girls for Day 2 tomorrow. It's really important." Jaden hints.
"Yeah totally, we'll let you know what happens. Get going." Lois urges.
"Thanks," Jaden said running out of the stands.
From Korugar they picked Lobo and Nova to represent them while Apokolips chose Mad Harriet and Stompa.
"Waller, where's your team?" Bek asks.
"Who did you choose to represent you? Not that it matters. My team is sure to win my event." Sinestro said when Harley and Beastboy received a note.
"Hold the phone folks, looks like there's been a change. Representing Superhero High in this event is none other than our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!" Harley declares as Spider-Man swings in.
As he entered the arena, Spider-Man had the most mixed reaction of all the heroes. While half were cheering for him, the other half were booing him.
"Whoo! Go Spidey!"
"Kick their butts!"
"Get out you menace!"
"This is for heroes! So get lost!" One guy said.
Hearing this the other Superhero High students and Lois cringed.
"Poor guy." Lois frowns.
"These people are making him sound like a villain," Jessica said confused.
"Whoa. Whoa. Where's the love?" Beastboy asks.
Smirking Sinestro turns to Waller. "Good thing this isn't a popularity contest or you'd lose instantly."
"Yes, are you sure you wouldn't want to pick another hero? I've seen a handful of J. Jonah Jameson's stories on him and he is not well-liked. Honestly, I bet he was the one who started that food fight last night." Bek agrees.
"I appreciate your opinions, but why don't you just wait until the event is over before you criticize my choice," Waller said not even glancing at them.
Walking to the starting line, Spider-Man passed by the Korugar team to see Lobo and Nova mocking him.
"You sure you don't want to leave before people hate you more?" Lobo mocks.
"If you ask nice enough, we'll give you some tips on how to improve your image." Nova mocks.
"Yeah like I'm really gonna take advice from a guy who flies around with a bucket on his head and a loser with a biker complex." Spider-Man counters.
"What you say?!" Lobo growls.
"Newsflash Lobo, loud motorcycles are not a substitute for personality. It just means you're so desperate and needy for attention." Spider-Man said causing even Blackfire to snicker.
"Oh, am I gonna kick your ass! Let me go." Lobo said.
"No way he's mine!" Nova said as the two were fighting to see who would get their shot at him.
"It doesn't matter. My girls will smash him and his partner." Granny Goodness said.
"Interesting choice of words Granny Goodness. And while I admit your students are strong...but we have a Hulk." Waller declares.
"A what?" Granny raises an eyebrow.
As if on cue, the door broke down and a familiar large green monster landed next to Spider-Man and roared at the other teams surprising them.
"You ready to play Hulk?" Spider-Man asks.
"Hulk ready to win," Hulk said pounding his fists together.
"What on Earth is that monstrosity?" Sinestro asks in disbelief.
"My student," Waller smirks.
"Now this is a finale, folks! For the last event of Day 1 Spider-Man and my man the Hulk are gonna bring the pain!" Beastboy said.
"And the name of this event is the Robot Smash!" Harley declares as three heavily armored robots that were three times Hulk's size entered the arena.
"Well talk about saving the best event for last," Stephen said.
"I've seen better." Tony shrugs.
"You mean you've built better," Steve smirks.
"Same thing," Tony said.
"These robots are used at Korugar Academy to test our students just before graduation. They are armed to the teeth and very vicious. Your scores will be settled by which team defeats it the fastest." Sinestro explains.
"Now which team will go first?" Harley asks.
"Losers first." Nova offers.
"Oh go ahead, guys." Spider-Man said stepping aside pissing them off even more.
"Why you." Lobo growls.
"Ha nice one." Mad Harriet mocks.
"Stompa enjoy that," Stompa said.
"Why are you laughing? You're both gonna lose too." Spider-Man said causing them to stop laughing.
"Excuse me?" Mad Harriet growls.
"I mean seriously? Apokolips Magnet School. Like anyone would actually believe you two could get into a Magnet School. This one can't even say a complete sentence. Hell, even Hulk has better grammar than you." Spider-Man said.
"Haha. Moron." Hulk chuckles pissing them off.
"That's it! Move it! We're next!" Mad Harriet said shoving past Super Hero High making them last.
As Nova and Lobo faced the first robot, it fired missiles at them but they ran out of the way.
"I don't like this Spider-Man. He's very disrespectful and doesn't show any sportsman-like behavior." Bek said crossing his arms.
"Let me tell you if he was my student he wouldn't last long," Sinestro said as Nova flew in and fired energy beams hitting the robot in the face allowing Lobo to rush in and ram against it.
'I see what you did there Spidey.' Waller smirks noticing something.
As the robot fell to the ground Nova blasted its head clean off.
"And the time is 1 minute and 15 seconds. Oh, mama, that's gonna be tough to top." Harley said.
"Next up, Apokolips." Beastboy said as Stompa and Mad Harriet faced theirs.
As the Korugar robot swings a punch at them, Mad Harriet leaps up and runs along its arm but when it raises its other arm it swats her away.
Slamming her foot down Stompa crushes the robot's left foot leaving in where it stood.
"Come on! Demolish that walking junk pile already!" Granny Goodness orders.
"Grodd, Coulson do you see what I see?" Waller whispers.
Curious the two teachers looked down and smirked.
"I see it," Grodd said.
"We got this win in the bag," Phil smirks.
"What are you three talking about?" Bek asks curious.
"Oh nothing. You'll see soon enough." Waller said playing it cool.
As the Furies ripped the robot limps off it fell to the ground defeated.
"And the time is 1 minute, 24 seconds. Ooh so close." Harley said.
"Now it's up to Super Hero High, Spider-Man has to beat Korugar's score in order to win this," Beastboy said as Spider-Man and Hulk stepped forward.
"Hulk." Leaning in, Spider-Man whispers something making the big guy grin.
"Sounds good to me," Hulk said.
"Let's do this," Spider-Man said taking a stance.
"And…go!" They said starting the time.
The Korugar robot making the first attack fires multiple missiles at them.
Grabbing Spider-Man, Hulk threw him over the attack and the robot much to everyone's surprise.
"Hey, you Korugar! If this thing is your final test to graduate you guys have a long way to go!" Landing behind it, Spider-Man fires multiple webs at its legs trapping it before firing more at the arms.
"Wait a second. That's how—" Granny gasps.
"Wow gotta give the kid credit. You played the other two schools easily." Stephen chuckles.
Charging in, Hulk leaps at the robot. Raising its arm, it was about to retaliate when Spider-Man pulled hard causing the robot's limb to fall back.
"They got reckless and allowed him to figure out the best way to take that thing down. So that when it was our turn—" Steve starts.
With no distraction, Hulk punches the robot so hard that its head flies off its body and lands in the stands.
"I got it!" A lucky fan said raising it high in the air.
"Ooh looks like a lucky fan is going home with a souvenir." Harley laughs.
"And the time is…35 seconds!" Beastboy declares causing the Korugar team to drop their jaws in disbelief.
"We would win easily and make them look like idiots." Tony finishes with a big laugh.
"HE SET US UP!" Sinestro and Granny said outraged.
"And they fell for it hook, line, and sinker," Natasha said that the final score was Super Hero High 210, Korugar 210, and Apokolips 180.
As Spider-Man and Hulk made their way back they were greeted by the main team of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Bumblebee, Starfire and Spider-Woman.
"There is a word to describe you, genius," Batgirl said.
"I can't believe you pissed off both schools to the point they basically handed us the win," Bumblebee said. "How is that even possible?"
"I'm a people person who knows how to piss people off." Spider-Man jokes making Hulk laugh.
"Hulk have fun with Spidey. Can Hulk compete again?" Hulk asks.
"Sorry Hulk that was the last event where someone other than us could compete," Supergirl said making him frown. "Hey don't worry big guy if I get the chance, I'll smash something just for you."
"Flygirl the best," Hulk said as they high-fived.
"You know those other schools are gonna want to destroy you now, right?" Spider-Woman asks.
"Too bad for them." Spider-Man smirks amused. "I tied us up now it's you girls to win this thing."
"Count on it," Batgirl said.
As the first day of the Intergalactic Games came to an end, all the students returned back to rest and prepare for the second event.
In Big Barda's room, we see her polishing her Mega Rod and singing a familiar song.
"I sing you a song to swear my allegiance. I'll sing you a tale of loyalty strong. Forever in battle expanding our homeland—" Big Barda sang when Lashina walked in from behind.
"With you by my side, I know I belong." Both finished.
"Lashina? What are you doing here?" Big Barda asks defensively.
"I heard you singing. Thought you must have been reminiscing." Lashina said walking in.
"That song gets stuck in my head." Big Barda admits.
"It was always my favorite. Remember how you used to have those nightmares? If was bad news if your crying woke Granny. I'd sing to you until you went to sleep." Lashina said sitting next to Big Barda on her bed.
"I almost forgot about that." Big Barda admits.
"Probably better that way. Now that we're enemies." Lashina admits.
"Well, we don't have to be enemies." Big Barda points out.
"You'll come back to the Furies?" Lashina asks hopeful.
"No, I'll never do that. But you guys could go good. Break off from Darkseid. I'll talk to Spider-Man, with him and me vouching for you guys Super Hero High would be happy to take you in." Big Barda offers but that just makes Lashina laugh.
"You were always a wishful thinker. I made an oath to the Furies." Lashina said turning to leave but stopping herself. "But as long as we're here for the games we might as well get along for old time's sake?" Lashina offers holding out her hand.
"Yeah." Reaching out, Big Barda and Lashina shook and when her fingertips touched Lashina's bracelet she grinned.
Soon Lashina was outside the school with Granny Goodness and the other Furies. Taking off her bracelet, we see it showed Big Barda's fingerprints.
"The fingerprints weren't a problem. Fed her some sob story about that stupid song she always sings." Lashina mocks handing it to Granny Goodness.
"Big Barda has always been a sentimental fool." Granny smirks.
"What a perfect punishment for her to find out she was to blame for the Furies acquiring universe-destroying technology." Lashina grins. "And she actually thought we'd let Spider-Man help us?"
"After the stunts he's pulled, he'll be the first one to fall," Granny said as all the Furies growled eager for revenge for all the humiliation, they've suffered from him.
In Starfire's room, we see Blackfire tossing various outfits to the floor as she examines her sister's wardrobe.
"None of these will do. We'll have to get you a whole new wardrobe at Korugar." Blackfire assumes.
"But the winners have not been decided. We still have the Hero Ball, the Battle Bots, and the partner biathlon." Starfire lists.
"You really think you and Supergirl can beat me and Bleez in the biathlon? Please." Blackfire asks revealing she was in the same event.
"Supergirl and I have trained and refined the strategy of the partnership. I competed against her to earn my spot on the team and—" Gasping Starfire quickly covers her mouth to not spill the beans.
"Go on. Tell me all about your strategy." Blackfire smirks eager for some hints.
"I am only saying that if Super Hero High should prevail, I look forward to our day of funship." Starfire said much to her sister's annoyance and disgust.
Back with the Furies, we see them making their way to Magnus' lab and using Big Barda's fingerprints got the door open easily.
As they made their way inside none of them realized that they had they had tripped a silent alarm.
"You won't need to bring all this stuff to Korugar. It's all junk." Blackfire said tossing a photo into a trashcan but Starfire pulled it out.
"This is not the junk. Do you not remember the great laughs of hilarity we had this day at the Tamaran Zoo?" Starfire asks.
"I remember being embarrassed by your waiting when you fell into the Polka Hoozy pen," Blackfire said when she got a message.
"Starfire, we got trouble," Batgirl said as she put the picture down.
"Blackfire, join me in this mission of saving the day." Stargfire insists.
"Yeah right. Have fun being a super zero." Blackfire mocks.
Narrowing her eyes, Starfire turns away and leaves to go help.
Looking at the photo, Blackfire saw it had her and Starfire smiling with funny faces and for a brief moment a smile appeared on Blackfire's face.
In the lab, we see the Furies tearing the place upside down looking for the Responsometer.
"Find that Responsometer!" Granny orders as Mad Harriet throws a table across the room.
As Stompa knocks a blackboard out of the way she sees a locked safe making her grin.
Grinning she rips the safe out of the wall and yanks the door open causing various files to fall out and the Responsometer.
"Stompa find pretty." Stompa declares giving it to Granny Goodness.
"Put that down." Dropping in, we see Supergirl, Spider-Woman, Starfire, Nightwing, Batgirl, Zatanna, Wonder Woman, and Spider-Man arrive.
"Really? It wasn't bad enough we humiliated you in public you just had to have a second helping?" Spider-Man mocks.
"Furies! Finish these supers!" Granny orders.
Loading arrows into her quiver, Artemiz fires at them. While the other heroes dodged, Wonder Woman deflects them with her bracelets.
Racing in, Speed Queen ran circles around Spider-Woman and Zatanna.
"What's with the lame outfit? You some kind of magic performer?" Speed Queen mocks. "And what? You a superfan of the bug?"
"Why yes I am. Why don't you check out this opener? Ezeerf eht ground dnuorg!" As the ground around them turned the ice Speed Queen slipped on it and slid towards them.
"How's this for a fan?" Swinging her fist, Spider-Woman punches Speed Queen in the face knocking her down a level.
Flying in at Granny Goodness, Supergirl tries to take back the Responsometer but Granny dodges.
"I should have finished you off last time!" Swinging her staff, Granny whacks Supergirl across the room allowing Stompa to leap in and grab her.
"Look what Stompa caught. Can I keep her?" Stompa asks as Supergirl struggles to break free.
As Spider-Man fires a web at Granny's arm he slides in and kicks her in the chest making her tumble backwards.
Grabbing several bataraangs, Batgirl threw them at Granny but Granny pulled her arm forward making it cut the webs freeing her.
Moving in, Lashina throws her whip at Batgirl wrapping it around her leg. Bending down Batgirl tried to free herself.
"Nu-uh Bats." Lashina mocks as electricity flows through her whip electrocuting Batgirl making her scream in pain before collapsing.
Gasping Spider-Man ran to help her up when his Spider sense went off. Just as Artemiz fires arrows at him, Spider-Man dodges it with ease.
"Hey Stompa, I don't think she likes you." Turning her arm into a mace, Spider-Woman punches Stompa in the back causing her to yelp in pain giving Supergirl the opening she needed to judo throw Stompa off her sending her crashing into Granny Goodness.
"Stompa no like second spider," Stompa said as Granny got up.
"Neither do I," Granny said staring her down.
"I heard you were the school Librarian who always gave out cookies. If you keep calling yourself Granny that role seems more your speed." Spider-Woman mocks.
Firing her webs, Spider-Woman swings in but Granny Goodness dodges her attack and swings her staff hitting her in the chest.
"Well compared to Spider-Man this role isn't suited much to you either." Granny mocks.
"Hey, Batgirl. How many fingers do you see?" Spider-Man asks holding up three as Batgirl regains consciousness.
"Uh six?" Batgirl answers still a little dizzy.
"Close enough," Spider-Man said helping her up.
Nearby, Nightwing swings his escrima sticks clashing with Mad Harriet's claws.
"Anyone ever tell you that laugh of yours gets annoying really fast?" Nightwing asks making her growl in anger.
Swinging her claws at him, he ducks and delivers a sidekick to the gut making her skid back.
Using this chance, Wonder Woman flew in and grappled with her. While Mad Harriet managed to knock her lasso of truth off her belt, Wonder Woman threw her off sending her back towards the rails.
Leaping in Zatanna blasts Mad Harriet sending her crashing against a file cabinet and knocking her down a level.
Racing in, Speed Queen rammed into Zatanna knocking her to the ground.
As Wonder Woman reached for her lasso she realized it was gone. Looking around she saw it on the floor and so did Speed Queen.
When the super-speed villain raced in two webs grabbed her by the elbows.
"Oh no you don't," Spider-Man said pulling her back and allowing Wonder Woman to grab her lasso.
She was about to use it when Lashina threw her whip around her arm electrocuting her as well.
Yanking Speed Queen in, Spider-Man throws her across the room.
Flying in, Starfire throws multiple starbolts at Lashina forcing her to retreat. While Starfire pursued she didn't notice Mad Harriet climbing up behind her.
Cackling she leaps and attacks Starfire scratching her arm and causing her to bleed.
"Good gorka. I am oozing the life goop." Starfire said holding her arm in pain.
"Come on Furies!" Granny Goodness orders as they try to make their escape only for Big Barda to block the exit.
"Hey Granny." Big Barda glares.
"Out of the way Big Barda." Granny Goodness orders.
However, Big Barda charges causing the two of them to clash.
"I don't take orders from you anymore. I make my own choices." Big Barda said knocking Granny back and the Responsometer out of her hands.
She was about to grab it when Speed Queen raced in and grabbed it.
"Can't beat me Barda!" She mocks racing circles around her.
"Zatanna! Use your magic on Speed Queen's skates!" Big Barda calls out.
"Sleehw emoc ffo!" Zatanna chants causing the wheels on Speed Queen's skates to fall off causing her to super-speed crash right into the wall.
Running over, Spider-Woman grabs it.
"Give it back. Or Batty gets it." Mad Harriet threatens with her claws inches from Spider-Woman.
However, Big Barda smirks. "Oh, Harriet I'd let her go if I were you."
"And why's that?" Mad Harriet asks when suddenly a web hit her in the face causing her to cringe.
Swinging in Spider-Man punches Mad Harriet so hard she crashes into the wall.
"That's why," Spider-Man said.
Before the other furies can react, Nightwing throws a bolo tying up Artemiz and Wonder Woman ties up Stompa in her lasso of truth.
Seeing they were outmatched, Granny Goodness and Lashina tried breaking for the exit only to see Big Barda blocking their way again.
"Come with us. You were born a Fury and you will always be a Fury." Lashina reminds.
Pausing Big Barda realized there was some truth to that.
"You're right. I was born a Fury, but I changed. I fight for good now." Big Barda declares.
Enraged Lashina attacks her, but Big Barda swings her mega rod knocking Lashina to the ground.
As Granny is about to run, Spider-Man fires a web tying up her legs allowing Big Barda to whack her as well.
"You did it." Supergirl smiles.
"Been wanting to do that for a long time." Big Barda grins.
Soon the police came and the Female Furies were taken away to prison again.
"Good riddance, the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit will take care of the Furies now," Waller said as she and Ambassador Bek watched this.
"I do not envy them the paperwork," Bek said as Wonder Woman approached them.
"I'm just glad the school is safe again. Now we don't have to worry about our identities as much." Wonder Woman sighs.
"Thanks in no small part to your efforts. Which is why I'd formally like to invite you to join us next week for the summit." Bek declares making Wonder Woman smile.
"Really?! Oh, my Hera! My parents are gonna flip when they hear this! Thank you, Ambassador!" Wonder Woman said excitedly.
Nearby, Nightwing was wrapping a bandage around her arm.
"There you go. That should stop the bleeding." Nightwing said.
"Sorry, Mad Harriet got the jump on me." Starfire apologizes.
"This stuff happens to all of us Star. Don't beat yourself over it." Nightwing said before noticing a frown. "Is something on your mind?"
"It's my knipster." Starfire said making him sigh.
"What did she do this time?" Nightwing asks sitting down next to her.
"All she seems to want to talk about is me going to Korugar. How I'm better off there and that my talent is wasted being a hero. And part of me wonders if that is true?" Starfire asks.
"Kori. Just because it's what she wants doesn't it's what you want. Do you think being a hero was a mistake?" Nightwing asks.
"No. I could never think that." Starfire shook her head.
"Well then that's proof enough you made the right one. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Show your sister you belong here." Nightwing urged.
"Perhaps I will. Nightwing I am curious about your answer to one more question." Starfire said getting his attention. "If I ended up leaving the Titans, who would you think could be a good replacement for me?"
"No one," Nightwing said surprising her. "No one could ever take your place, Kori." He smiles.
Smiling Starfire blushes softly happy to hear that.
Nearby, as Big Barda was making her way back to her room she was still thinking about what happened.
"Hey Barda," Spider-Man calls out getting her attention. "Just wanna say that was really big of you to stand up to your former teammates like that."
"Thanks, it wasn't easy that's for sure. I really thought Lashina would be open to change but she was just using me." Big Barda frowns.
"You gave her a chance, it's not your fault she didn't take it." Spider-Man said.
"Yeah well, now I'm officially without a team." Big Barda sighs.
"Not entirely," Spider-Man said lifting up his mask to show his smirking face.
"What do you mean?" Big Barda asks confused.
"Big Barda, I took a chance on you to let you be a good guy and I'm happy to say you've made the most of that chance. You're a real hero and someone I'm glad I can count on. Which is why…" Reaching out Jaden taps both her shoulders as if he was knighting her. "You're an Avenger now." He declares making her gasp in shock.
"No freaking way. Are you serious? Wait if this is a joke I swear to god I will—" Big Barda starts but Jaden laughs.
"No, no Barda I'm serious. Iron Man put me in charge of finding new members and with Wolverine switching his status to part-time and Thor in Asgard, I realized I need heroes who I could count on in worst-case scenarios at a moment's notice. So, what do you say?" Jaden asks holding out his hand. "You wanna be a part of a new team?"
Smiling Barda reached out and shook his hand. "Jaden I don't care what those Jameson Supporters think. You're a great hero. But an even greater friend. I promise I won't waste this opportunity."
"I know you won't," Jaden said putting his mask back on over his head. "Come on, let's get out of here. At least we can sleep easier without the Furies under the same roof as us."
"No arguments there." Big Barda chuckles.
In her room, MJ was lying in her bed. This was not her night. She got her butt kicked by Granny and then she had to be saved from Mad Harriet. And on top of that they didn't even think of her as a hero. Just as another Spider.
'Jaden told me it was my chance to shine but how can I if I keep blowing it?' MJ thought turning her head over. Maybe she'd have a better chance in the finals.
In Waller's office, Waller met with Magnus who was holding the Responsometer.
"I can't believe all that was over my gadget," Magnus said.
"Super Hero High does attract more than its share of supervillains." Waller points.
"I could never forgive myself if this got into the wrong hands. We have to destroy it." Magnus declares handing it to her.
"You're right Doc. I'll put it in secure disposal. It'll be gone for good that way." Waller said standing up.
Little did they know Platinum was watching them.
As Waller made her way to the Secure Disposal unit, she put the Responsometer inside it but what she didn't know was that Platinum caught it before it dropped it. Opening her other hand, it drops a series of nuts and bolts making a grinding noise to fool Waller into believing the device was destroyed.
Bringing it to Lena's warehouse, she examined the device.
"Letting the Furies do all the hard work was a nice stroke. One tip-off to Batgirl's security system and bang, bang, bing, bang. The Furies are out and the Responsometer is ours." Lena declares.
"The army is 92% complete." Platinum informs.
Looking at the screen, Lena saw several high-tech robots lined up.
"So cool. How great am I gonna look commanding these things?" Lena asks excitedly.
"Very great, master." Platinum responds.
"Platinum, I have a treat for you. You'll be my first ultrabot." Lena declares putting the Responsometer on Platinum causing a purple light to glow and consume her resulting in life appearing in her eyes.
"Whoa," Platinum said surprised by this new sensation.
"How does it feel?" Lena asks interested.
"I feel like…" Pausing Platinum just realized what she said. "I feel. Whoo-hoo."
"Excellent. Soon Metropolis will be cured of its "Super" problem. I'd like to see you top this Cooper." Lena cackles as we zoom in on what appears to be an earpiece in her left ear. On it, we see a symbol of 3 circles linked together.
The next day, in Diana's room, we see Steve and Diana on a conference call with Hippolyta.
"Did you pack enough socks?" Hippolyta asks.
"Mom. It's one week." Diana points out.
"You're right. Honey grab as many as you can. She needs as many as you can grab." Hippolyta said.
"Sweetie calm down she'll be fine," Steve said before turning to his daughter. "I just wish we had more time before you left."
"I'm leaving right after the games. I've never been 62 Lightyears away from home before. You sure you guys will be able to handle things without me?" Diana asks.
"I think we can manage," Steve assures.
"Look at our little princess. On her way to becoming a great ambassador and an even greater queen. I wish I was there so I could give you a big hug." Hippolyta said.
"Gotcha covered on that one." Leaning in Steve hugged Diana close.
"Thanks you guys." Diana sighs leaning into it.
Across the school, it was soon time for the second event. With the Furies eliminated from the game the score was now Super Hero High 250 and Korugar 250 as we go into the Battle Bots event.
"The teams are tied up as we get ready for some heavy metal action!" Harley said as Beastboy did an air guitar solo to emphasize the heavy metal part. "Not that kind of heavy metal! It's team bot battle time. Batgirl and Bumblebee against Mongal and Lobo!"
"If these girls blow it, I will never let them live it down," Tony said as the mentors sat front row.
"Geez Stark laying on the pressure." Clint chuckles.
"It's robots, what did you expect?" Natasha chuckles.
"Relax, give them some credit," Sam said.
As the Korugar team walked by the Super Hero High corner, Starfire gave her sister a hug.
"Good morning Knipster." Starfire said when Blackfire noticed her bandages.
"What happened to your arm?" Blackfire asks.
"It's only a flesh wound from my fight with the Furies last night," Starfire assures.
"You fought the Furies?" Blackfire points.
"I was not alone. Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Nightwing, Batgirl—" Starfire lists.
"Nightwing and Batgirl? The non-supers?" Blackfire asks.
"They may not have the superpowers but both are true superheroes," Starfire assures.
"Blackfire. The Korugar section is over here." Sinestro said coming to get her.
"Of course, Headmaster Sinestro," Blackfire said following him.
"You are bothered by your sister's injury?" Sinestro asks.
"No way, of course not. I was just thinking how much greater my powers are than hers since going to Korugar. Furies wouldn't hurt me." Blackfire assures.
"Indeed, but as long as you live the Korugarian way you will never need to take risks. Your sister was injured because she fancies herself a superhero. It's abhorrent." Sinestro mocks.
"Of course, headmaster." Blackfire agrees sitting down.
In the arena, we see the Bumblebee and Batgirl battle bots facing the Lobo and Mongal bots. The Mongal bot had 4 metal legs and a large red muscular upper half with big arms. The Lobo bot was standing on one wheel with black designs almost like a motorcycle with two hooks for arms.
In the stands, we see Lois and Jessica recording this.
"Alright, Jess you got a good view of the robots?" Lois asks.
"Yep got them all." Jessica nods as Jaden walks up the steps.
"Hey, you girls got room for one more?" Jaden asks.
"Absolutely," Lois said as Jaden sat down with her.
"So where did you go yesterday? You missed Spider-Man." Jessica asks.
"Yeah, I saw it on TV. Pretty funny. And I had to take care of something important." Jaden said.
"Well, what's important is you're here now," Lois said.
"Yeah, I don't see me having to leave anytime soon," Jaden assures.
Down near the stage, Spider-Woman looks up to see Lois scooting closer to Jaden and MJ couldn't help but be a little jealous.
'If we win this, I'm gonna tell him.' She thought as the event began and the 4 robots moved in.
Firing beams, the Batbot blasts one arm off the Mongalbot's arms.
"Hey!" Enraged Mongal activated the controls turning the other good arm into a chainsaw.
Swinging it at the Beebot it attempted to chop it in half but the Beebot flew out of the way and rammed into it knocking it to the ground.
"Yeah, honey!" Bumblebee grins as the Lobobot threw hooks at her bot forcing it to fly away.
When the Mongalbot got up, Batgirl clicked a button and the Batbot's wings dropped down and it began spinning like a top.
"Ah yeah. Let it rip Batgirl." Jaden grins.
"Wait, where have I heard that phrase before?" Jessica asks.
"Oh nothing," Jaden said quickly.
As the Batbot launched itself at the Mongalbot it sliced it in half before it could even strike back.
"What? How could she?" Mongal gasps while Lobo just shrugs.
"Yes!" Tony pumps his fist happy to see they drew first blood.
"Torn limb from metal limb. Oh, the humanity." Harley comments.
"Did someone call for a manatee?" Beastboy asks turning into one.
With only one robot left, the Batbot charged at the Lobobot from behind but Lobo didn't seem fazed. As it got closer, Lobo pressed a button causing flames to shoot out of the back exhausts roasting Batgirl's robot like a marshmallow before it collapsed and exploded.
"Oh no!" Batgirl groans.
"Oh that was low," Stephen said.
"Flames out of the rear? So lame." Tony said.
Flying in, the Bumblebot fires at the Lobobot but they just bounced off.
Activating a button, a targeting system appeared on the Lobobot.
"Target confirmed. Guess who's got auto-targeting twerps? Nothing can escape my blasters." Lobo said as his robot retaliated.
"Don't worry, I got this," Bumblebee said as her Bumblebot shrank down to the size of a bee. "Go small or go home."
Flying into the Lobobot's brain area.
"Let's see you auto-target this," Bumblebee said as Lobo's robot blew its own head off because of its programming but the Bumblebot flew out completely unharmed.
"And Super Hero High scores!" Harley said as they took the lead with 260 points.
"Whoo!" Jaden and Jolt Arachnid said cheering for their girls.
As they celebrated Blackfire looked out at her sister celebrating with her team and had a look of envy on her face.
Back at Lena's base, we see on one screen a room full of Kyrptomites.
"Assembling time," Lena said wearing a green and purple suit with a big L on the chest.
"Destroying the supers will be fun. Hey, I know what fun is. Neato." Platinum said.
"Yes." A dark voice said echoing inside the room getting their attention. "It'll be loads of fun."
"What? How'd you do that?" Lena asks briefly taking out her earpiece.
"I was so excited about our upcoming triumph I could hardly remain a secret whispering in your ear." The voice said.
"Whoa. Whose voice is that?" Platinum asks.
"Uh, no one. Just another one of my minions." Lena said covering it up. "Now back to what's important."
Opening the door, Lena saw all her Kryptomites inside.
"Hello, my babies. Time to play." Lena declares.
Soon everyone was at the stadium for the final events. It was now time for the Biathlon and the stands were packed with spectators.
"What a roller coaster of a game it has been. With Super Hero High leading with 26 wins and Korugar with 25 wins as we get ready for the second to last event." Harley said.
"If we kick some booty in the partner biathlon the championship is ours. No way Korugar can catch us." Beastboy said.
Down below, we see Supergirl and Starfire doing some stretches while Sinestro gives Blackfire and Bleez a talk.
"You both have superpowers by nature. We won't allow a school that lets mere mortals masquerade as supers." Sinestro states.
"Yes, headmaster." Both said with powers at the ready.
As both teams made their way to the starting line, Ambassador Bek approached the stands.
"On your marks, get set…GO!" Bek said as all 4 heroes took flight.
Flying at the targets, Starfire hurled her starbolts hitting all the targets dead center.
"Yes!" Starfire grins.
"I got solar powers too sister!" Blackfire said hurling her starbolts but nearly all of them missed much to her frustration.
Using her heat vision, Supergirl suddenly came to a stop picking something up with her super hearing allowing Korugar to take the lead.
"I have to go, there's a fire going on!" Supergirl said to Starfire before taking off.
"Partners in the biathlon, partners in saving the day," Starfire said as they took off.
"Where are they going?" Everyone said curious.
At a building fire, Supergirl and Starfire flew in to get all of the people out.
"Where are they going? This is highly unorthodox." Bek asks
Once they were sure everyone was out, they flew back to the arena only to see Korugar had won.
"It's down to the Hero Ball game." Bek declares.
"Congratulations," Starfire said.
"Where did you go?" Blackfire asks.
"To save people. There was a fire." Starfire explains.
"You sacrificed winning the championship for some humans?" Blackfire asks in disbelief.
"It is just a game. Principal Waller teaches there is no greatness without sacrifice and Titan Mentor Falcon often tells me never to turn a blind eye to those in need." Starfire recites.
Hearing this Sam couldn't help but smile that she remembered.
"There she is. That's the one." From the stadium entrance, they see a father, mother and their daughter being escorted in.
Smiling the little girl ran over to Starfire and hugged her. "Thank you for saving my daddy. You're my hero." The girl said giving Starfire a flower.
"Thank you," Starfire said happily taking it.
As night came, it was time for the final event and everyone was eager to see who would win.
At the Hero Ball field, we see Mongal, Blackfire, Bleez, Lobo, Maxima, and Nova on one side we see Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Bumblebee, Starfire, Supergirl, and Spider-Woman all ready to win this.
As Grodd stepped forward to be the ref, both teams took their positions.
"And now to set the field." Bek declares about to push the button to activate the traps but for some reason it wouldn't budge. "There seems to be some sort of technical difficulty."
Pulling on it with all his might it still wouldn't budge.
Suddenly, Jaden, Jolt Arachnid's, and Spider-Woman's spider sense went off indicating something was coming.
On the field, a panel opens, and from it everyone sees Lena emerge in a large green and purple robotic super suit.
"Tony is this you?" Stephen asks.
"For once. No, it isn't." Tony said alarmed by this.
"Wait a second. That suit…" Pausing Jaden remembers seeing Lex Luthor fighting him and Superman in a suit very similar to that.
"Hello." Lena declares surprising everyone.
"What the what now?" Beastboy said in disbelief.
"Lena Thurol?" Supergirl said confused.
"She has the suit of the powers," Starfire said.
"Wait a minute, that suit looks like Lex Luthor's suit," Bumblebee said.
"Wait. Luthor? Thurol? Those names have the same letters." Nightwing realizes.
"You finally realized it? I changed my last name years ago but I guess now that the cat's out of the big. I'm the sister of Lex Luthor." Lena declares shocking everyone including Jaden.
"I've been competing against Lex Luthor's sister?" Jaden gulps glad he never revealed his identity around her.
"Did someone ask for the IT girl's help?" Lena asks scaring Bek. "Oh I can fix your little game but I'd rather fix this whole city." Lena declares.
Emerging from several panels all over the arena, we see Kryptomites piloting their own mechsuits and they were all armed to the teeth. But the biggest surprise was Platinum joining them.
"Oh, my cog! Platinum?" Magnus gasps not expecting to see her again.
As one Kyrptobot looked to the stands, Jaden saw it was looking right at him making him nervous.
"Ambassador stay back." Wonder Woman warns.
"Your first mission as student ambassador is to make peace with this villain so that the games can continue." Bek orders.
Even though she didn't think Lena was open to it, she decided to try it.
"Lena, I'm sure we can resolve this. What do you want?" Wonder Woman asks.
"What do I want? What I want is to rid Metropolis of supers!" Lean declares as her suit flies forward and smacks Wonder Woman sending her crashing through a metal door.
Gasping Steve stood up.
"Think about it Metropolis. That robot attack earlier was because of the supers. The Sinister 6, the Wild 5, Eclipso, Dark Opal, the Female Furies, Klarion. Supervillains target our city because these supers are here. Join my side and we rid Metropolis and then the world of these supers forever." Lena declares.
"No!" A voice calls out and we see Stan rise out of his seat. "Supers don't cause problems. They fix problems. And if you can't see that young lady then you need to get your eyes checked."
"Yeah, they saved me!" Steve Trevor calls out.
"And me!" The father that Starfire had saved earlier today. "I'm with Superhero High."
"Superhero High! Superhero High! Superhero High!" The citizens chanted.
"Looks like you don't speak for anyone but yourself young lady." Stan declares.
"Fine whatever. Then I'll just do it all myself. Kryptomites attack!" Lena ordered as the Kryptobots went on the attack.
As the people fled in terror, the mentors stood up from their seats.
"We need to suit up and fast," Tony said.
"First we need to get everyone out of here," Steve said reaching into a bag and pulling out his Captain America shield.
Snapping his bow into position, Clint put on his shades. "Let's move it then." He said as they started guiding the people on their level out of the arena.
Looking up one Kyrptobot shot into the audience with its target set on Jaden.
"Jaden run!" Lois yells as the Kryptobot fires at him.
Panicking Jaden ran for his life and down the hallway with the Kryptobot right on his tail.
Chirping loudly, we see TRACE-E climb out of his pocket and into his hands
"TRACE-E try to see if you can hack one of those things!" Jaden said passing by a gap where he could see the field, he threw his robot with his all might sending it flying towards the Kryptobots.
Turning a corner, Jaden narrowly avoided getting blasted.
As the Kryptobot was about to follow it heard a noise near the elevators and we saw a bunch of kids pushing inside as it closed. Seeing this an evil grin appeared on the Kryptomite's face getting a wicked idea.
Gasping in horror, Jaden ran to suit up.
Down below, Waller and the other heroes ran to the field.
"Flyers get all the people to safety, the rest of you destroy those Kryptomites." Waller orders before turning to Supergirl. "Supergirl, bring Lena in."
Nodding Supergirl flew up into the air to meet her.
Running onto the field, Frost and Dazzler blast a Kryptobot with ice and light causing it to stumble back when Shadowcat phased out of the ground holding onto Jolt Arachnid.
"Heads up!" Jolt Arachnid slams his hand against the Kryptobot electrocuting it until it explodes.
"And I thought we were done competing." Ms. Marvel said smashing one with her fists.
Swinging her mega rod, Big Barda sends one flying across the field and into the goal scoring points for Super Hero High on the board.
"Alright 10 points to Big Barda in the villain launch." Barda grins.
As Spider-Woman looked around she noticed Sinestro and his team under a barrier.
"Pathetic. Super Hero High couldn't even secure itself long enough for the games." Sinestro mocks.
Up in the air, we see Supergirl meet Lena.
"Come on Lena. We don't have to fight. Just turn yourself in." Supergirl said.
"That would be so easy for you, wouldn't it? Just another time Supergirl doesn't even have to try." Lena said ramming into her.
"What are you talking about?" Supergirl asks pushing back.
"All you had to do was land on Earth to get superpowers. I tried everything to get them: chemical accidents, close encounters with meteors, genetic mutation!" Lena lists firing a green beam from her arms. "Day and night I have been working on these Kryptomites even when it was so toxic that my hair fell out. I didn't stop." Reaching up Lena yanks off her wig surprising Supergirl before she continues her assault.
As one Kyrptobot was about to attack TRACE-E leaped out from the stands and attacked the glass.
Chattering in anger the Kyrptomite tried to shake it off but the little spider broke through the glass.
Chirping in retaliation TRACE-E grabbed the Kryptomtie and threw it out of its own robot.
Climbing into the control space, a USB came out of its back and it began hacking the controls.
Narrowing its eyes determined TRACE-E's robot began to change from red and green to blue and red with the L being changed to the words SPIDER STOMPER.
Charging in, the Spider Stomper punched a Kyrptobot in the face knocking it back.
Growling the Kryptomite saw the Spider Stomper giving it the come and get it sign.
Lunching forward the two robots grappled with the two little guys hitting rapidly at the controls like it was giant version of Rock'em, Sock'em Robots before the Spider Stomper punched it so hard the head flew clean off.
Chirping with a smile TRACE-E and the Spider Stomper raised their arms in victory.
Zooming out to the city we see Jessica and Lois being carried off by Bumblebee and Hawkgirl.
"So as it turns out Lena Luthor alias Lena Thurol sibling of full villain Lex Luthor has launched a full-scale attack on the supers," Lois said as Jessica was holding her camera up to record this.
Landing near Capes and Cowls with the other civilians that were being evacuated.
Back at the arena, the fights were getting intense. As Nightwing smacked multiple bots away, Cyborg blasted them with his sonic cannon before Beastboy ran over them as an elephant.
"Ni Hao Kryptobots!" Lady Shiva said delivering a fierce kick while Katana chops off an arm and a leg.
Lunging forward, Black Panther delivers a series of kicks before slashing the Kryptobot to shreds.
"Sure wish we had a Hulk right about now." Black Panther said.
"Come on, let's go." Sinestro said as he and his team made their escape only for Waller and Spider-Woman to cut them off.
"Where the heck are you, guys going?" Spider-Woman asks.
"We're leaving," Sinestro said.
"Please Sinestro, we need your help. Your team has such great superpowers you could save so many." Waller said.
"Out of the way. This is not our battle." Sinestro said pushing her aside.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Spider-Woman said getting in his face. "We have robots destroying everything and you don't think this is your problem?"
"So? It's not my fault you people are lousy at being heroes." Sinestro when Spider-Woman grabs him and yanks him in.
"You call yourself a hero? You're not a hero. You're a joke." Spider-Woman glares grabbing him
"Unhand me now or regret it," Sinestro warns.
"Spider-Woman don't. He's not worth it." Waller said.
Narrowing her eyes Spider-Woman shoves him back.
"You know someone very close to me once told me with great comes great responsibility and let me tell you Sinestro none of you use your powers responsibly." Spider-Woman mocks.
"Where did you hear that line? From a fortune cookie?" Lobo mocks as they all but Blackfire leave.
Looking at the battle she couldn't help but wonder. "Great power…comes great responsibility?"
Across from her, Batgirl yanked the glass off one Kyrptobot allowing her to fire a net gun and yank the Kryptomite out.
Nearby Starfire clashed with a Kryptobot but appeared to be losing.
"Blackfire!" Sinestro calls out. "Come immediately or the consequences will be severe."
However, when Blackfire saw her sister blasted to the ground and surrounded Blackfire flew off to help her.
Growling Sinestro left realizing he would punish her later.
Firing starbolts, Blackfire blasted all the Kryptobots surrounding her sister.
"Come on knipster." Blackfire smiles offering a hand.
Nearby Platinum sees this and stops fighting.
"I thought you were leaving to go back to Korugar," Starfire asks.
"I was but you need my help and your teammate told me some interesting advice," Blackfire said as they charged into battle together.
"Heroism, irrational but…good." Platinum realized as her responsometer glowed.
"Fire on three. One, two…" But just as the two Tamaraean sisters were about to attack their hands glowed when they linked arms. "Three!"
With their new combined attack, they blasted away several Kryptobots.
"What was that?" Blackfire asks amazed.
"We are the knipsters. We are the strongest when we do the blast of togetherness." Starfire informs making her sister smile.
On the streets of Metropolis, we see Wonder Woman place Ambassador Bek down with the others they rescued.
"You're safe here. I'm going back to fight." Wonder Woman said about to leave.
"No!" Reaching out Bek grabs her arm. "You should stay here. Protect me. Uh I mean protect us. Should any of those things escape the stadium." Bek said quickly recovering.
"But they need me." Wonder Woman explains.
"I need you. You already failed me once today. If you want to go to the summit I command you stay." Bek orders.
Eyes widening, she finally realized Jaden was right. This man was making her change who she was just to do what he wanted.
"Respectfully Ambassador…kiss my ass." Wonder Woman declares shocking him.
"Excuse me? Young lady how dare you—" Bek starts but Wonder Woman gets in his face.
"I'm done listening to you. Now it's your turn to listen to me. I've been by your side, trying to get your attention for days so I could go to your stupid summit. Done things the way you want them done so you would pick me well I'm done. Your way is the wrong way. And now you think your life is more valuable than everyone else's? Well, forget it. The only future I want is where I can do the most good and if it's not with you then it's with the Avengers so go and hide for all I care!" Wonder Woman said before taking off into the sky.
"Ooh, that's gotta sting." Turning around Bek saw Lois and Jessica had recorded all of that.
"Turn that off right now!" He orders.
At the stadium, we see Lena knocking Supergirl back down into the arena.
Supergirl was about to retaliate when several Kryptobots shined kryptonite down at her making Supergirl cringe unable to fight.
However, before she could worry about herself they all heard some screaming. Looking up they saw a Kryptobot on the roof of the stadium but it was holding the elevator full of screaming kids by its cable.
"No!" Supergirl gasps unable to move.
Letting go the kids plummeted to the ground when suddenly Spider-Man raced in and leaped up.
Firing a web, it attaches the roof of the stadium while Spider-Man fires another at the elevator preventing the kids from crashing.
As the fans were running out a handful of Spider-Man's mixed viewers were seeing this.
"He's stuck." A man said when Lena set her sights on him.
"Well look what we have here." Lena grins.
Seeing the jam he was in, Spider-Man tried to slowly lower the elevator down but all the other heroes were busy fighting.
"Lena do see what you're doing? Is putting innocent people's lives in danger just to prove you're right really worth it?" Spider-Man asks.
"You think you can judge me? You cause the most trouble out of every hero out there. In fact, I think it's time someone squashed you, permanently." Lena said flying in at him.
Acting quickly, Spider-Man lets go so he can dodge resulting in the elevator briefly dropping.
As the kids screamed in horror Spider-Man grabbed the cable again and fired another web at the upper levels before it was too late.
"Hang on kids!" Spider-Man calls out slowly lowering them down.
"Heroes so predictable!" Using this chance Lena flies in and nails Spider-Man with a punch causing him to rattle around along with the kids inside.
Screaming the kids were scared out of their minds.
"I've been wanting to say this since the moment I met you Spidey. Shut up!" Lena said punching him again.
Falling backward, Spider-Man struggled to hold on and keep lowering the kids to safety.
"He won't let go. Even though it means he'll keep being harmed he refuses to let them be harmed." Platinum said amazed by this.
"He's not gonna make it!" Big Barda gasps.
"He'll make it!" Batgirl assures.
Flying back a little, Lena engaged her thrusters ready to deliver a big strike.
Gasping even Platinum was worried about what was going to happen next.
"Time to die Spider-Man!" Lena was about to strike when suddenly a fire extinguisher flew in and hit her mech suit causing her to swerve out the way.
Confused they looked to the stands to see several members of the audience throwing whatever they could find at Lena.
"Back off you little brat!" A man yells.
"Yeah why don't come over here!" A woman yells.
"Leave Spider-Man alone! You feel good picking on a guy trying to save a bunch of kids?!" A former hater yells.
"Yeah I got something for your ass!" A man yells throwing a metal pipe and hitting Lena's glass rim. "The only menace in this arena right now is you, you little brat!
Even though they couldn't see because of the mask, Spider-Man had a look of pure joy on his face.
Suddenly a figure flew in and grabbed the kids from the bottom lightening the load.
"Need a hand kid?" Looking down Spider-Man saw Iron Man fully suited up.
"What took you so long?" Spider-Man said.
"We had to help the others. Plus we needed some muscle." Iron Man said when Captain America charged in and threw his shield hitting one of the Kryptobots that was surrounding Supergirl.
Dropping in Black Widow kicks one away while Hawkeye fires arrows from the stands shattering the glass when Doctor Strange fires several energy whips taking more out.
"Leave Fly Girl alone!" Leaping in Hulk smashes the other robots around her.
"Thanks, big guy," Supergirl said weakly.
"Can't let you kids have all the fun." Hawkeye grins when Falcon swoops in and slashes them with his wings.
"You okay kid?" Falcon asks helping Supergirl up.
Looking over they saw Spider-Man and Iron Man used this chance to lower the elevator down to the ground.
Ripping the doors open, Iron Man helps the kids out.
"Falcon, Cap help me get these kids out of here." Iron Man said as both ran over.
"Good work soldier," Cap said patting Spider-Man before they took off.
Nearby Bumblebee and Flash ran to Batgirl.
"Batgirl how do we stop them?" Bumblebee asks.
"Can we magnetize them like last time?" Flash asks.
"They're not powered by computers like the last ones. They're powered by…" Pausing Batgirl noticed TRACE-E piloting the Spider Stomper and realized it. "They're powered by whoever is piloting them. This means if TRACE-E is controlling one with its energy source that means the others are being powered by kryptonite. We need the Anti-K juice." Batgirl realized.
Jumping down, Batgirl ran to Frost and Poison Ivy.
"Frost, Ivy come on!" Batgirl said as they ran off to the school to get the serum.
As the Kryptobot was about to follow Wonder Woman flew in and smashed it into the ground.
"Don't mess with me. I've had a really bad day." Wonder Woman glares slamming her shield down on it.
Climbing atop the elevator, Spider-Man looks up at Lena and chuckles. "Hey Lena, I gotta ask what's it like to know Jameson's fans hate you more than me? Gotta sting, right?" Spider-Man mocks.
Growling Lena screams in rage and tackles Spider-Man off the elevator.
"I don't care if this stupid thing was a mess. If I can destroy anyone, I'm fine with only 3. You!" Lena said blasting him back. "Supergirl!" She said blasting him again. "And the most annoying, human being to ever walk this planet! The person I've hated for years! And when I'm done with you I will crush myself! JADEN COOPER!" Lena roars getting Spider-Woman's attention.
"What…did you say?" She mutters.
As Lena was about to attack Platinum flung her arms wrapping around her preventing her from attacking.
"What in the?" Lena said turning to see Platinum had turned traitor but before she could react Spider-Woman swung in and kicked Lena through the walls.
"Spider-Woman." Spider-Man gasps as she helps him up.
"You focus on these stupid robots and getting the people to safety," Spider-Woman said.
"But what about Lena?" Spider-Man asks.
"It's like you said tiger…time for me to step up." Spider-Woman declares and he nods.
Racing out of the hole, Spider-Woman attacked Lena again as she got up but Platinum was still laying among the rubble.
"Hey get off me!" Activating her jets, the two of them flew around wildly but Spider-Woman wouldn't let go.
Climbing onto her back, Spider-Woman rips the hatch off the thrusters causing them to fly out of control and crash onto the roof of the school.
"You're pathetic Lena, you know that?" Spider-Woman said as they got up.
"Excuse me?" Lena said.
"Look at you. Your so-called grudges are nothing but jealousy. You're jealous of the heroes because they got powers and you didn't and what did this Jaden guy do?" Spider-Woman asks faking ignorance but that makes Lena growl.
"5 years. 5 years in a row I placed second to that loser. I had access to the best technology around and yet he managed to win with stuff he pulled out of the garbage. And then when I finally meet that loser, I find out he's working at Stark Industries while I was stuck in this dump!" Lena snaps stomping her foot down causing the roof to briefly crack. "There's no way he's actually that smart. No way he deserves all this stuff to happen to him. When I learned he was at this arena I cackled at the idea of rubbing my mental superiority in his face."
"You have no idea what Tiger's been through," Spider-Woman mutters to herself tightening her fist.
This girl had the nerve to call her childhood friend garbage?!
What Lena failed to realize is that MJ was there as well. For every Science Fair Jaden beat Lena in MJ would watch how much hard work and effort he put into his entries. Yes he didn't have much but he found a way to make the most of it and when he won he wasn't arrogant or a sore winner. He won with his head held high.
"What's the matter? I thought you spiders always had something to say. Scared I'm gonna crush you?" Lena asks.
As Spider-Woman looks up she notices the Crystal right above her on the ledge. Pausing in realization, Spider-Woman was facing Lena on the exact same area where Spider-Man fought Doc Ock. It was during the fight that Jaden realized how much he needed to step up to prove himself. The perfect battlefield for Mary Jane as well.
"Scared of you? Hardly. Lena it's time someone finally told you. The reason you can't get powers, the reason you can't win anything is because you don't deserve it! You just think you do! You think you're special? Well, newsflash everyone wants to believe they're special that doesn't mean it's true. Maybe when I beat you, you'll see that." Spider-Woman said taking a fighting stance.
"I'll show you!" Lena said charging in.
Charging in to meet her, Spider-Woman fires multiple webs in front of the screen so Lena couldn't see.
As she struggles to get it off, Spider-Woman delivers a powerful punch to the chest knocking her back.
Firing another web it wrapped around her right arm. Pulling with all her might Spider-Woman yanks the arm right out of its socket.
"Hey, Lena! Why are you hitting yourself?" Swinging the arm back at Lena, it smacks her causing her glass canopy to shatter. "Why are you hitting yourself?"
Spider-Woman throws it at her but Lena smacks it away. Using her one good arm, Lena punches Spider-Woman sending her tumbling back.
Firing multiple blasts at her, Spider-Woman fired a web and swung out of the way.
Diving down, Spider-Woman attempted another strike but Lena grabbed her and held her tight trying to crush her.
"I don't know how a loser like you got on the team but I think it's clear it was out of pity. You're no hero." Lena mocks.
Growling Spider-Woman's arm slowly began to change. "Yes…I…AM!" Swinging upwards Spider-Woman's arm was now a scythe allowing her to chop Lena's second arm off.
Delivering a powerful double kick Spider-Woman knocks Lena back to the opposite end.
"Give it up Lena. You don't have to do this." Spider-Woman said.
"But I want to!" Lena declares before screaming at her.
Charging in, Lena leaps at Spider-Woman attempting to crush her but she rolls out of the way causing her to crash into the building.
As Lena's robot dangles over the edge causing her to fall into the Intergalactic torch.
Gasping Spider-Woman dives in after her.
Firing a web, she yanks Lena out of the robot just as it explodes.
Landing on the ground, Lena looks up to see Spider-Woman holding her.
"You saved me? How dare—" Before Lena could finish Spider-Woman webbed her mouth shut.
"Lena I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. I wasn't born with these powers. I got them by accident. So I think you don't deserve to have powers and you never will." Spider-Woman said as Lena's screams of rage were muffled by the webs.
Taking her to a police van, Spider-Woman yanks the webs off her face making her scream in pain as Lena was locked in arm and leg braces preventing any movement.
"Once we're done with your robots you're going away for a long time, Lena." Spider-Woman declares.
"You'll pay for this Spider-Woman!" Lena snaps.
"Put it on my tab," Spider-Woman said before slamming the door on her.
At the arena, Batgirl flew in on her jet while Poison Ivy and Frost at the Anti-K serium.
"Everyone aim for the canopies on the Kryptobots!" Batgirl calls out.
Blasting the glass off all the Kryptobots they open fired turning them all back into rocks thanks to the Anti-K serum.
With all the robots defeated everyone was able to take a breath.
"Thanks for the help back there," Nightwing said as he and Batgirl walked over.
"You two did some pretty impressive heroing. Maybe not all heroes need powers." Blackfire admits.
"So what happened with the Ambassador?" Spider-Man asks walking over to Wonder Woman.
"I don't think I'll be going after all." Wonder Woman shrugs.
"Sorry sweetie. I know how much it meant to you." Captain America said.
"It's fine dad, there are other ways that I can better myself, but thanks for looking for me. Both of you." Wonder Woman smiles.
As the van holding Lena drove away, Lena still had her earpiece in.
"Hello? Can you hear me?" Lena asks.
"Oh, you're still alive? Pity it's come to this. Now I must reveal myself." The voice said.
"No you don't! Just get me out of here and I'll finish the job myself." Lena said.
"The supers were right about one thing. There is no greatness without sacrifice. And for my greatness, I'm sacrificing you." The voice declares.
Out in front of the police van, we see a reflection of something large with the same symbol Lena had on her earpiece.
A large metallic tendril shot out and whacks the van causing it to swerve and flip upside down with the top part landing in the lake. While the drivers were able to get out in time, Lena was upside down to see water filling up the area she was trapped in.
As the large shadow descended on the stadium all the heroes looked in shock to see a giant mechanical head with several tendrils floating above them.
"Hello, supers. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Brainiac. Lena Luthor failed but I will destroy you all." As the symbol on Brainiac's head glowed all the robots including the Spider Stomper glowed.
As TRACE-E jumps out of her robot it and all the others are reconstructed into something big and bad.
"I have gathered all the best technology across the galaxies so I can rid the universe of superheroes.
Emerging from the wreckage Platinum felt herself being pulled in.
"Not my metal!" Platinum gasps before being put in a trance and merged with the main power core in the center, we see it finally form a gigantic robot body where Brainiac's head is right on top of it.
"Bow to my power!" Brainiac orders as he fires a powerful green shockwave several heroes away.
Raising his arm, Brainiac fired powerful electrical blasts.
Hawkgirl flew in with her mace but was hit with a big blast of air sending her flying back.
Frost fired Ice but Brainaic used magma to neutralize it.
When Human Torch brought the heat, Brainiac doused him with a torrent of water.
Poison Ivy tried using her vines, but Brainiac released a powerful gas killing the plants instantly.
As all of them scrambled to find cover, Spider-Man, Batgirl, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Captain America and Big Barda huddled together.
"That thing is insane. It knows our moves before we even do them." Iron Man said.
"How do we defeat it?" Wonder Woman asks.
"It's not invincible. There's gotta be some kind of weakness." Captain America said.
"Lena's been hanging out with this guy she should know." Big Barda assumes.
"You go see if you can get anything out of her," Spider-Man said.
"What do we do in the meantime?" Batgirl asks.
"Easy. Until we find out what the weakness is. We make one ourselves." Spider-Man said grabbing a nearby mic.
"Hey Brainiac!" Spider-Man said getting his attention while Big Barda flew off. "You're new to this planet so I think you should know something before you think you can take it over."
"What are you babbling about?" Brainiac asks.
"You want to beat all the superheroes out there? Well, consider us your big first test…Avengers Assemble!" Spider-Man declares.
Hearing this Wonder Woman, Captain America, Batgirl, Supergirl, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Ms. Marvel, Zatanna, Iron Fist, Human Torch, Black Panther, Hulk, Daredevil, and Katana grin.
Nearby Nightwing looked to his classmates. "We can't let them have all the fun. Titans Go!" Nightwing said as Cyborg, Beastboy, Bumblebee, Jolt Arachnid, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Falcon, and Stargire grinned.
"Join us Knipster." Starfire said as Blackfire flew with them and Spider-Woman swung in from behind.
"Don't leave us out!" Spider-Woman said as the other team-less heroes joined the fight.
Making her way to the police van, Big Barda yanks it out of the water and flips it right side up before opening the door to show Lena was still alive.
"What do you want?" Lena asks.
"Brainiac is gonna destroy the city and soon the whole world. We need your help." Big Barda said.
"Nope. No way. Not gonna happen." Lena shook her head.
Deciding to try a different approach, Big Barda walks up to her.
"Lena, I know what it's like. When all you've known is being bad, it's hard to be good. But if you help us you can still be a hero. Come on, think about how helpful that big brain of yours would be on the right side." Big Barda offers.
"Really? Thanks." Lena smiles at first before looking at her annoyed. "But no thanks. Now scram. Vamoose. Shoo." Lena said brushing her away.
"You're pathetic you know that?" Big Barda said slamming the doors shut.
As Brainiac climbs out of the stadium he fires a blue energy blast making a big hole in Super Hero High.
Leaping off the arena, he landed in the main area in front of the school.
Climbing into her batjet, Batgirl flew in with Iron Man and Falcon at her side.
"Alright guys, let's blast this thing back to the pit it was mined from," Batgirl said.
"Couldn't have said it better myself," Falcon said holding two machine guns.
Firing missiles, bullets, and blasts they flew at Brainiac but at the last second it raised its arm creating an energy shield that absorbed all the blows.
With the shield, Brainiac blocks their attacks and keeps up his attack on the school.
Flying in, Supergirl uses her heat vision but like the other attacks, Brainiac deflected it. Using her X-ray vision she hoped to see some kind of weakness but nothing came up.
"I don't see any obvious targets but for some reason, my X-Ray Vision isn't working on that skull thing," Supergirl said.
"I thought you could see through anything with that power." Up high, we see Hawkeye loading his bow with arrows ready to fire.
"Must be lead-lined, Bumblebee said that I can't see through it," Supergirl said when Brainiac released a green shockwave hitting Supergirl and sending her crashing into the building but for some reason, she really felt that one. "Kryptonite?"
"Of course. Who do you think taught Lena how to use it? She's a bright girl but needed a little guidance." Brainiac said about to blast her when several webs flew in hitting it in the eyes.
"That's a job for a therapist. Not you pal." Spider-Man said swinging in and grabbing Supergirl. "You okay?"
"Been better," Supergirl said.
As Brainica pulled the webs off Hawkeye shot an arrow that exploded upon contact.
Looking up, Brainica set his thoughts.
"Oh boy. Uh could use some help." Running off the edge, Hawkeye jumps down narrowly avoiding being blasted.
Swinging in, Jolt Arachnid caught him but Spider-Woman saw that the attack didn't leave a scratch.
With his Kryptonite waves, his shield, armor, and a giant arsenal of weapons Brainiac wasn't giving the heroes even an inch.
"Hey robo I think you could use some more RAM!" Turning himself into a ram to emphasize his point Beastboy rams into his leg but falls back revealing the metal was too hard. "Or not."
As Spider-Man and Supergirl land nearby Black Widow got an idea.
"Hey, Bumblebee. Remember that project you told me about for Supergirl?" Black Widow recalls.
"But it's not ready," Bumblebee said.
"We need all hands on deck for this. Get it to her." Black Widow orders.
Not wanting to ignore one of her team mentors, Bumblebee knew Supergirl couldn't fight in these conditions. "Drones. Suit her up."
Flying in several bee drones surround Supergirl and when they leave we see Supergirl was in a new super suit that was dark blue and had a protective headgear with her red cape.
"Whoa, what is this?" Supergirl asks amazed.
"Super suits are my specialty. This will keep you safe from Kryptonite. It's laced with lead." Bumblebee explains making Supergirl smile.
Flying in from the back, Big Barda threw Black Panther at the machine allowing him to do several slashes before she flew in and smacked her rod against it causing a giant dent but all the damage went away and to make matters worse it grabbed her Mega Rod.
"Give me back my Mega Rod!" Big Barda said but was smacked away.
Charging in, Captain America and Wonder Woman throw their shields shattering a hole in brainiacs allowing Hulk to leap through.
As he delivers a powerful punch to the chest causing Brainiac to step back but it isn't enough to knock him down.
Grabbing Hulk, Brainiac threw him sending him crashing into Wonder Woman and they both fell to the ground.
Firing multiple webs, Spider-Man, Jolt Arachnid, and Spider-Woman attempted to tie him up. But Brainiac aimed his arm at them and fired a blast sending all 3 Spiders crashing to the ground.
"Anyone figure out anything new about Brainiac yet?" Batgirl asks.
"Only that he really wants to destroy us." Wonder Woman said as she and Hulk emerged from the wreckage.
Flying in with her new suit on, Supergirl rams into Brainiac doing some damage.
"You want me? Well, here I am." Supergirl said delivering several punches to his body before she was blasted back.
As Brainiac made his way further in we saw Cyborg covering Nightwing as Nightwing had a cable hooked up to Cyborg making his red eye glow.
"Come on man, hurry," Cyborg said scanning Brainiac.
Bringing up some schematics Nightwing began furiously typing as he scanned Brainiac.
"I got something. Everyone aim for the dots on his forehead." Nightwing said disconnecting from Cyborg.
"Now what's what I'm talking about." Cyborg grins.
Using her heat vision Supergirl fires allowing Iron Man and Falcons to attack, Batgirl fires missiles, Starfire and Blackfire release their combo attack, Stargirl fires a beam from her staff, Dazzler releases a ball of light, Zatanna, and Strange release magical attacks, Bumblebee fires stingers, Cyborg uses his Sonic Cannon and Hawkeye fires arrows.
Raising his shield, Brainiac absorbs all the blows.
"I am stronger than your superpowers." Brainiac declares raising his other arm and releasing a powerful blast knocking them all away.
From Brainiac's chest, we see Platinum emerge. Seeing all the heroes struggle to fight back no matter how many times Brainiac knocked them down it caused the responsometer to glow and for a brief moment a tear ran down Platinum's eyes.
"They need to combine their power. They need a conduit." Platinum realized.
Realizing something, Platinum breaks from Brainiac's chest and leaps through the shield landing among all the heroes.
"Hold it right there." Iron Man said ready to blast her but Platinum held up her arms in surrender
"Supers I've got an idea." Platinum said confusing them.
"Platinum I command you to get back here." Brainiac orders.
"I'm not just a machine anymore." Taking off her metal headpiece we see metallic colored hair under it. "Supers power me up!"
Confused they hesitated wondering if this was the right choice.
"It's worth a try," Blackfire said.
"What do we got to lose?" Zatanna said they gathered around Platinum.
"Now charge!" Platinum orders as Iron Man, Starfire, Blackfire, Cyborg, Bumblebee, Dazzler, Supergirl, Stargirl, Zatanna, and Doctor Strange sent all their powers. "Just a little more."
Stepping back all of them kept their attacks going fueling it into Platinum while Brainiac got closer and closer.
When Platinum absorbed them all she began to glow bright white. With all their combined energy, Platinum leaps at Brainiac slamming right into the weak spot on the head resulting in a giant explosion.
As the smoke cleared everyone looked in amazement to see Brainiac was nowhere to be seen and in his place was just a big pile of rubble.
Bursting into cheers everyone smiled that their day was saved.
"Platinum did it." Starfire smiled as Batgirl made her way down to the bottom of the crater, there the only piece that was left of her lay, the responsometer.
"She saved us," Batgirl said picking it up.
"So Diana." Walking over to her, Captain America took off his mask. "I heard you were very rude to the Ambassador before he left."
Cringing she knew she was in trouble.
"I'm sorry Dad. I know you and Mom must be disappointed in me." Diana frowns.
"Disappointed? Not at all." Steve smiles confusing her.
"Really? You're not mad?" Diana asks.
"A good soldier has to know when not to follow orders. You stood for what you believed in. I'm proud of you and so will your mother." Steve vows as they hug.
Looking at her sister, Starfire walks over.
"I am proud to be sharing the bond of eternity with you," Starfire said.
"Me too, too bad our bond is about as long as I'm going to be in detention. You think your principal will let me catch a Boom Tube back to Korugar?" Blackfire asks.
"Of course, I will go ask Principal Waller immediately," Starfire said.
"Uh hold on I didn't say I had to leave this minute. There are a few things I want to do first." Blackfire said.
"Oh like what?" Starfire asks as Blackfire walks over to Nightwing.
"I see why my sister speaks highly of this team. You must be quite the leader if she's willing to fight for you all." Blackfire said.
"We try." Nightwing smiles.
"So uhm…can anyone join the Titans or do I have to do something first?" Blackfire asks scratching her cheek making Starfire gasp with joy.
"Oh please Nightwing. Please can my knipster join the Titans?" Starfire begs.
"I don't see why not. You two are obviously way stronger together. Welcome to the Titans Blackfire." Nightwing smiles making Starfire squeal.
"Oh thank you! Thank you!" Giving Nightwing a big hug Starfire pecks him on the cheek causing Nightwing to blush and so did Starfire when she realized what she did.
"Uh no problem Kori." Nightwing said trying to fix himself while Blackfire giggled.
"So any chance we can still do that day of funship you wanted?" Blackfire asks.
"Absolutely." Starfire smiles.
As Spider-Woman took off her mask, she noticed Spider-Man crawling up the building.
Curious Mary Jane follows to see Jaden take his mask off and sit on the roof looking out at everything.
"Hey for someone who just saved the day you're not as happy as you should be." Mary Jane said sitting next to him.
"I can't believe Lena hated me this whole time. I mean I thought it was just friendly competition. Was I that bad?" Jaden asks.
"Don't give yourself too much credit. Lena blames everyone for her shortcomings. It's not your fault she never moved on with her life." Mary Jane said.
"Still it's crazy to think I was the person she wanted to destroy the most." Jaden said.
"Don't worry, if she ever shows her face again I'll deal with her." She assures scooting closer.
"Thanks, MJ." Jaden smiles.
Looking at his smiling face MJ knew it was now or never.
"You know Jaden…y-you don't deserve all the hate you get. You're an amazing hero and an amazing person. And I really wish everyone would see that instead of labeling you as the problem." Reaching out MJ took his hand.
"You think so?" Jaden asks.
"I do. You've always been there for people who need it. And you've been there for me. Not just since I've been a hero. Always. Back to when we were kids. I thought you were the perfect best friend which is why it was hard for me to tell you something. Something I've been thinking about for a while." She admits.
"MJ you can tell me anything," Jaden promises.
"I know. Jaden…I love you." Mary Jane declares grabbing him by the suit and kissing him on the lips.
Surprised at first Jaden leans in and kisses back.
"To be honest I was worried all you ever saw me as was a friend," Jaden admits.
"No way tiger. Face it, we hit the jackpot." MJ grins kissing him again.
No prize for the Intergalactic Games could ever come close to the prize Jaden just got.
Soon it was time for the award ceremony.
Walking out, we see Ambassador Bek holding the trophy.
"Since the team from Korugar ran away before the last competition, they have forfeited. Therefore it is my pleasure to award the Intergalactic Game Championship to Super Hero High!" Bek said handing it to Waller causing all the students to erupt in cheers.
From backstage, a hand moved the curtain and a familiar robot girl emerged.
"Oh hi everybody." Platinum waves.
"Platinum? You're okay?" Barbara gasps.
"Rebuilt and better than ever." Platinum smiles when Tony and Magnus walked out.
"Platinum you're not finished yet," Magnus said.
"But they're having a celebration. And I've never been the kind of girl to miss a celebration." Platinum points out.
"That's because you've never been any type of girl before." Magnus defends.
"Oh let her have some fun. We'll finish you up later." Tony gestures allowing Platinum to join the ground.
"What are you up to Stark?" Magnus asks as Tony wraps his arm around his shoulder and they walk off stage.
"I had this thought. You seem to know your way around this stuff. I might have an idea for a future project and I could use a hand." Tony said.
"What is it?" Magnus asks.
"Instead of trying to make an entire army we change it up. Picture this, a suit of armor around the entire earth." Tony declares.
"I'm in." Magnus grins liking the sound of that.
As everyone celebrated their victory we found ourselves on the outskirts of Metropolis where in a small crater the remains of Brainiac's skull lay.
Slowly as smoke emerged from it, a figure ripped its way out.
Standing atop the remains was a green-skinned alien, in black armor with silver plates and a few glowing purple highlights, including a familiar symbol on his chest. This was the real Brainiac.
"I will destroy those supers," Brainiac vows before taking off into space to plot his revenge on the ones who stopped him.
