"Okay, context." Darth Anarchus declared. "While Oscar learned his heritage, Amber spent a few weeks looking Oscar because he saved her from the scout ship's security."

Amber quickly said her thanks to Oscar who said, "It's nothing."

"She followed his trail of sightings all the way to his home town known as Smallville." the Host continued, ignoring the snickers or 'Seriously?' from most of the Audience. "She spoke to Oscar and changed her mind about telling his story to the world. General Hazel and his fellow officers arrived outside of the moon's orbit and sent a message to all of Remnant to surrender Oz-El or the world will suffer. Another reporter threw Amber under the bus, saying that she knew where to find Oscar. The government arrested her and after some reminiscing of the past and speaking with a priest, Oscar surrendered to the Atlassian Military."

"How did General Hazel arrive at Remnant?" Ozpin asked. "You said they were imprisoned in the Phantom Zone."

"And the destruction of Krypton freed them." Darth Anarchus replied. "They managed to retro fit their Phantom Projector into a Phantom drive, an engine capable of bending time and space, and after finding a World Engine, a great machine that reshapes planets to fit Kryptonian needs, they had spent the next two decades travelling the stars until Oscar sent out signal in the scout ship unintentionally."

Oscar felt sheepish for his counterpart unintentionally calling the bad guys to Earth. Most of the Audience felt a sense of dread at the mention of the World Engine. "Shortly after, Hazel's second in command, Vernal arrived and took both Oscar and Amber to the World Engine. Oscar lost conscious because he was not adjusted to the ship's atmospherics. Hazel then used technology to speak to him within his mind."

"That sounds both cool and disturbing," Jaune said and many nodded in agreement. "Hazel revealed that Ozma had taken Krypton's Registry Codex and stored it in the pod Oscar was placed in. It contained the DNA of a billion people. It's what aided the Kryptonians to reproduce with genesis chambers." Darth Anarchus said. "He believed that Ozma did it so that Krypton could live again. . . On Remnant."

Many of the Audience's eyes widened. "And with the World Engine, they could reshape the planet." Oscar said in dread. The Host nodded. "Luckily, that wasn't the case. Ozma and Salem intended for their son to know how to be human and then, when the time came, he'd be the bridge between both worlds. Oscar had given Amber the command key that had Ozma's AI and reprogrammed the ship for Remnant's atmospherics. Oscar retrieved his strength back as Hazel left to go Remnant and find the Codex in Oscar's pod and Ozma spoke to Amber of a way to defeat Hazel's forces."

This gave most of the Audience relief that Superman wasn't sent to Remnant as a conqueror. "What they didn't know was the Ozma merged the Codex with Oscar's cells." Darth Anarchus added.

"Oh no," Oscar said in realization. "What is it, Oscar?" Ruby asked.

"Where is the pod?" Oscar asked. "The Belladonna farmhouse." The Host answered. Many gasped in realization as Blake straightened. Hazel was going to Oscar's home where her parents were.

"Wait, why was my counterpart taken?" Amber asked. "They needed to find out where his house was, and they looked into Amber's memories." Darth Anarchus replied.

"Oh great," Oscar and Amber said in unison.

"Oscar is racing to save Amber in an out of control escape pod." The Host added nonchalantly.

Superman races through the air towards the escape. He grabs onto the door. He uses his x-ray vision to see Amber's terrified expression and that the ground is getting closer! He punches through the door and rips it off. He catches Amber as she falls out and turns around to shield her from the exploding pod as it impacts the ground.

Many, save for Tyrian, Cinder and her followers, sighed in relief.

"Well, I guess I owe you two," Amber said to Oscar in a joking tone. Oscar waved his hand dismissively. "Don't think anything about it." he said. "I'm training to be a Huntsman. It's what we do." He gestures to his counterpart on the screen. "What we both do, apparently."

The scene changes to Kali opening her door and seeing Hazel's ship landing in the front yard. She frowned. Back when she and Ghira were younger, she had dreaded that either the government would come to the house looking for little Oscar or his own people would. Looks like its the second option. Except Oscar wasn't here.

"Oh no," Blake muttered in dread. "Don't worry, Blake." Yang said, placing her arm on her shoulder. "I'm sure she's going to be feline." she grinned. Blake stared at her with a deadpan look while Weiss and Ruby facepalmed.

"Wait, where is my counterpart?" Ghira asked. "Dead and buried," Darth Anarchus replied. At the shocked and confused looks, he elaborated. "In most of parts of the DC multiverse, Superman's human father suffers a heart attack. A twist of irony to Superman who had all the powers to protect him except from human heart problems. In this universe, Ghira forbid Oscar from using his powers to save him from a tornado." Some opened their mouths to protest, especially Blake but the Host held his hand up. "Remember the trailer? Oscar said that his father believed that if the world found out what Oscar really was, they'd reject him out fear. Ghira was convinced that the world was not ready for a being like Oscar. Like Superman. This little tidbit of info is also what convinced Amber to drop the story."

"Wow," Penny said with wide eyes.

"Did that piss her boss off?" Fox asked. "Dropping a story like that?"

"Actually no," Darth Anarchus replied. "Coco Adel understood the risk of panic from the public. Until Hazel sent a message to every TV and Scroll on the planet."

Most felt surprised at the fact that a news manager would react like that but Coco took it as personal pride for her counterpart keeping a secret.

Back with Oscar and Amber, he was spinning slowly and lowering Amber to the ground next to the wrecked pod. "You'll be safe here," he says softly before they touch the ground.

Amber shuddered as she stood back. "They-They did something in my head," she tried to explain. "It's okay, they did the same to me too," Oscar assures. The two stare at one another before Oscar's expression changes and then he takes off to the air. "Oscar!" Amber called after him before a police cruiser drove behind her. She turned around and waved her arms.

"You stared at each other a bit long there," Qrow said to Amber. "There something I should know?"

"Oh, lay off, you Old Bird," Amber said, pushing the veteran Huntsman a little. "It's another universe." she turned back to the screen. Got to admit though, he is quite the looker, she thought.

"The craft he arrived in," Hazel spoke coldly to Kali. He and his soldiers wearing black armor and breathing helmets. "Where is it?" he demanded.

Kali narrowed her eyes. She didn't like his tone. "Go to Hell," she spat.

The mothers in the Audience, to an extent Raven, nodded at Kali protecting her child, even if it wasn't hers by blood. Jacques scoffed. That Faunus just strapped herself to the interrogation chair.

Hazel glanced over to Vernal who walked up to Kali and swiftly grabbed her by the throat. She lifted the Cat Faunus off the ground without effort. Kali chocked and squirmed but Vernal's grip was ironclad. Despite herself, she glanced over to the barn house.

"Hey!" Blake shouted in anger. "Don't touch her!" Ghira shouted.

Kali looked down in shame that her counterpart gave herself away. Summer placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's okay, stuff like that happens." The Cat Faunus smiled slightly in response.

Oscar himself tensed, imagining his aunt in Kali's position. He gripped the armrests tightly. Oscar, remember, your counterpart is on his way. Ozpin said to him.

"There," Hazel pointed to the building. Vernal tossed Kali back and she hit the ground. Vernal then jumped high into the air and crashed through the roof and landed in the basement. She tilted her head at the House of El's symbol before pulling the shuttle open with her bare hands. Upon seeing nothing, she jumped back out and landed in front of Hazel.

"Oh great, now they have Superman's powers too?" Roman shouted. "All Kryptonians get empowered by the yellow sun." the Host replied. "When they adapt to the atmosphere like Oscar did."

"The Codex is not here," she reported. Hazel's anger began to show. He grabbed the pickup truck next to him and threw it into the house. Yelping, Kali covered her head in fear.

"Where has he hidden it?!" he demanded. "I don't know!" Kali said in complete honest. She doesn't even know what codex they were looking for. "WHERE IS THE CODEX?!" Hazel shouted, making Kali recoil in fear.

BOOM!

A red and blue blur suddenly zoomed into view and tackled Hazel and he was gone. Kali blinked and looked to where the alien general and blur had gone as Vernal and the other Kryptonian soldiers raced to their ship. Oscar? she thought.

Oscar screamed in rage as he carried Hazel and tackled him through a tower that exploded. He then slammed the general to the ground and began to punch him in the face repeatedly. In all his years, Oscar had to hold back his strength. Pent up his frustration and rage to no break something. Someone. And now he can release it right on Hazel to protect the one thing he has on Remnant. His mother. "YOU THINK YOU CAN THREATEN MY MOTHER?!" he shouted between punches. This man killed his birth father. He stood by when Ghira was taken by the tornado. No way in Hell was he going to let anything happen to his mother if he could help it.

"Leave her alone!" Blake and Ghira said angrily and protectively. Vernal hoped they didn't look over to her direction. Then all the Faunus jumped at the sonic boom.

When they saw Oscar tackle Hazel, Nora, Yang and Coco cheered, "HELL YEAH!" Some though flinched at his angry scream.

"Damn right!" most of the other students, including Whitley shouted in agreement with Oscar's counterpart.

"Get him, Oscar!" Ruby cheered. "Show him who's boss!"

"Ruby, I'm right here," Oscar chuckled in amusement. "I'm sure the other me would appreciate the support though." he added when Ruby blushed.

He reigned himself in a bit as they arrived at Smallville and turned towards an empty gas station and crashed Hazel into it. The whole station exploded. Oscar and Hazel came skidding to a halt on opposite sides of the street. Hazel stood up and took his burning cape off. He grabbed his helmet as it flickered before it disappeared. Hazel's eyes widen as he sees the bones and ligaments in his hand as if his armored gauntlet and flesh wasn't there to begin with. Shortly after, Hazel begins to everything. The screams of nearby people. The cars honking. A train blowing its horn and sirens blaring. Hazel tries to shake his head to clear it but nothing changes.

The Faunus all covered their ears in pain. "Shit, is this what it feels like?" Sun asked, holding his ears.

"Yep, and Oscar had to grow up with this as a kid," Darth Anarchus replied. "He was blessed with a mother like Kali. She helped him like what he's about to say."

This made Kali swell with pride while the rest thought twice of having the same powers as Superman.

"W-What have you done to me?" Hazel demands, his voice now laced with fear. Oscar smiles a little sadistic. "My parents taught me to hone my senses, Hazel." he reveals as he stands up. "Focus on what I wanted to see and hear." he adds as Hazel holds his head before dropping to the ground, writhing in pain. "Without your helmet, you're getting it all. And it hurts, doesn't it?"

The Kryptonian ship arrives and one of its guns shoots Oscar in the chest, knocking him back against a parked truck. Blue energy dissipates around his chest as he glares at Hazel who is aided by two soldiers. The general glares back at him before returning to his ship. Oscar moves to follow before he stops. He looks behind him and the Audience sees what caught his attention.

Down the street stood Vernal and Nam-Ek.

"Looks like we got ourselves a good old fashioned standoff," Sun says excitedly.

The scene changes to show Atlassian military ships flying towards the small town.

Meanwhile the three Kryptonians began to walk towards each other. Both Vernal and Oscar clenched their fists as they walked. Oscar glances to people nearby running and hiding in buildings. "Get inside," he urges the people still outside. "It's not safe."

Before the three could fight, the military attacked first. Oscar's head rocked back as a bullet bounced off his face. Vernal jumped out of the line of fire while Nam-Ek tanked the heavy gunfire and then jumped onto one of the jets. He broke through the windshield and killed the pilot. Vernal then jumped towards the other jet.

Many respected Oscar for trying to tell people to get inside and away from the danger.

"Hey, he's on your side!" Ruby shouted when the military ships fired at Oscar. "They don't know that," Darth Anarchus replied. "They don't know him like Amber or Kali at this point in time. They just know that he's kept his presence a secret."

"Contact! Boogey incoming!" the pilot shouted, shooting at Vernal. "Oh shit." he stated when he saw her closing, unaffected by the gunfire before Oscar tackled Vernal and flew to the other side of the town.

"No!" Most of the Audience cried out at seeing Vernal jumping to the jet before faltering at seeing Oscar tackling her.

They crashed outside of an IHOP establishment before Oscar was tossed into the restaurant. Customers ran out in terror as Oscar stood back up. He then saw a familiar face behind the desk. ". . . Pete Ross?" he asked.

". . . Oscar Pine?" the ginger haired man asked in surprise before Oscar was kicked down by Vernal. "Run," he said to Pete who didn't need to be told twice. Oscar tried to tackle Vernal but she dodged easily.

"Who's he?" Ruby asked.

"Oscar's former bully turned friend from his childhood." Darth Anarchus replied.

"You're weak, Son of El," Vernal stated. "Unsure of yourself." Oscar tried to attack again but was quickly floored. "The fact that you posses a sense of morality and we do not," she continues. "Gives us an evolutionary advantage." she grabs Oscar by the cape. "And if history has taught us anything," she then tosses Oscar across town back to where they were originally and he landed in a bank against the vault door. She lands near the entrance. "It's that evolution always wins."

"She has a point," Raven said. "His morals are holding him-" The Host pointed to her with a glare. "Trust me, Branwen. You don't want absolute power to corrupt Superman absolutely." he said in a dark tone.

Oscar glared before tackling her out the door.

Outside more soldiers were arriving. "They are extremely dangerous," Colonel Hardy said. "We've been granted to use lethal force. Engage all targets."

"Sir, what about the one in blue?" a soldier asked as they aimed towards Superman, Vernal and Nam-Ek. "I said engage all targets," Hardy said firmly.

"Oh come on!" Yang, Jaune, Sun, Neptune, Coco, Mercury and Oscar shouted.

"He's on your side! Don't shoot him!" Ruby shouted again.

Meanwhile Oscar was getting tossed by Nam-Ek and punched by Vernal. They pinned him to the ground before Oscar's eyes glowed red and he shot his laser vision at Vernal and Nam-Ek.

Two helicopters began firing at them. Vernal responded by picking up a truck and throwing it at the helicopters like it was a softball. One chopper managed to evade the thrown vehicle but the one Hardy was in. The thrown vehicle slammed into the side of the chopper, making it loose control and one soldier fell out.

The man screamed, flailing his arms as he fell. Before he could hit the pavement, Superman flew in and caught him in a blur and the man found himself on the ground, unharmed. "You alright?" he asked. The soldier nodded before seeing something behind the Man of Steel and reached for his sidearm. Superman turned around and met Nam-Ek's fist to the face.

Most of the students gasped in worry at seeing the soldier fall before sighing in relief at seeing Superman caught him.

Vernal watched the helicopter swerve out of control before her attention was pulled to the Atlassian soldiers approaching her and firing at her. She leaped up to the center of them as they fired at her. The bullets bounced off her armor and then she began to move at superhuman speeds, killing soldiers left and right with her punches and kicks.

"Too quick, not enough blood," Tyrian said in a bored tone and Neo nodded in agreement. Adam would have nodded since they were Atlassian soldiers but didn't because these aliens wanted to kill everyone.

Hardy was the only to survive the crash. "Guardian is down," the radio said. "Repeat, Guardian is down." Hardy responds that he's still alive. "Lock onto my position and rain fire. Danger close. Repeat, Danger close." he says.

"Copy that, Guardian." the radio responded as Hardy sees Vernal looking at him with a emotionless expression. "Good luck." The scene changed to Superman flying up in the air with Nam-Ek and then punched him towards the train station and the train exploded.

Colonel Hardy pulled a machine gun and fired at Vernal as she jumped in the air and landed less than ten feet away from him. Once he ran out of ammo, he pulled out his sidearm and fired at her face. The bullets bounced off her helmet without scratching it. Vernal's mask lowered and smiled a little. Hardy steeled his expression as he reached to his belt and pulled out his combat knife.

In response, Vernal reached down to her left thigh and pulled out her dagger. The two stare at each other. "A good death is its own reward." Vernal said to Hardy in a respectful tone. Hardy stared unflinching and lunged forward-

Ironwood, Winter and the Ace-Ops saluted the Colonel on the screen. As did Taiyang, Port, Sienna and Oobleck. Qrow raised his flask in respect. Roman tipped his hat. Ozpin and Glynda bowed their heads with Willow.

"Guy has balls, I'll say that," Mercury said in a respectful tone and nodded with Emerald and Neo. Cinder and Adam hummed.

Jacques and Watts scoffed while Tyrian eagerly waited for blood to be shed.

"No, no. Oscar, someone, save him!" Ruby shouted.

Only for Superman to fly in and deliver a devastating punch to Vernal's helmet. Hardy stared shock at the scene.

"Yes!" Ruby and the students cheered.

"Didn't see that coming, did you, bitch!" Nora shouted. "Nora, there's a baby in here!" Ren scolded.

"You will not win," Vernal said to Superman. "For every human and Faunus you save, we will kill a million more," she grimaces from the sounds she hears through the cracks of her helmet.

The remaining jets fly into view and one of them fires a missile at Vernal. The female Kryptonian turns around and hold her arm out to block or catch it and it explodes upon contact.

Suddenly, a flaming train was thrown towards Superman. He holds his hands out to catch it to prevent a lot of damage only for it to push him into the building behind him.

Then a Kryptonian ship flew behind the jets and shot them down. Nam-Ek appeared by the unconscious Vernal and carries her to the ship that takes off.

The remaining soldiers arrive at the crashed train and aim their guns in the shadows. The train shifts slightly and the Audience see a red boot step into view. Superman looks at them a little warily. Before he could say anything, they lower their guns Colonel Hardy walked up to one of them and holds eye contact with Superman as he states out loud for all to hear, "This man is not our enemy."

"Don't shoot, don't shoot," Ruby and Velvet muttered.

"He comes in peace, he comes in peace." Jaune chants a little. Cardin looked at him as if he grew another head before shaking his head. They all let out a breath they didn't know they were holding at Hardy's declaration.

"About damn time," Qrow said, the Host winced. Oh boy, he's going to love his arc in the next few viewings.

Superman nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Colonel." he said. "I couldn't have stopped them without your help."

That was too generous but Hardy simply nodded. Superman glanced at the soldiers before flying off.

The scene changes to Kali rummaging through the wrecked living room of her house. She picked up a photo album book and stares sadly at a picture of a young Oscar and Ghira in a science fair with a baking soda volcano.

Kali and Ghira smiled at the photo, being reminded of the photos of their daughter. Based on her smile, Blake though the same thing.

Oscar felt a little envious of his counterpart growing up and knowing his parents before shaking his head. He still has his aunt, Ozpin and his friends. That's all the family he needs.

"Mom?" Oscar calls outside. Kali looks up and smiles in relief. Her son was okay. "I'm alright!" she calls out.

Oscar stands outside the porch. His shoulders sag in relief as he sighs. The two meet in the doorway. "Nice suit, Son." Kali says before the two hug.

"Yeah, really easy on the eyes," Yang teased. "You should wear an outfit like that in the future."

"Like Huntsmen actually wear something like that," Oscar rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mom." Oscar says. "Oh, it's just stuff, Oscar." Kali dismisses, glancing at the house. "It can always be replaced."

"But you can't," Oscar pointed out as Kali walked down the porch steps. Kali looks back at him. "Mom, Hazel believes this codex can bring my people back."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Kali asked confused. Oscar shook his head. "I don't think they're interested in sharing this world." he replied grimly.

"Oh." Now that Kali understood.

A police siren sounds before Oscar hears Amber's voice. "Oscar! Oscar," she calls as she jogs over to them. "I know how to stop them."

"What's the plan?" Ironwood asked.

"Give it a few minutes," Darth Anarchus replied.

General Hazel walks to the helm of his ship as his scientist asks him what happened down on Remnant. "He exposed us to a temporary weakness."

"It's of little consequence." The Kryptonian scientist says dismissively. "Because I have located the Codex." he declares. "It was never in the capsule." He explains that Ozma-El took the Codex and bonded it with his son's very cells. "All of Krypton's heirs are living in one refugee's body." He displays a hologram of Oscar's blood cells.

Hazel walks to the window. "Does Oz-El need to be alive to extract the Codex from his cells?" he asked. The scientist barely even hesitated. "No."

"He can't be seriously thinking," Winter stated in disbelief.

The Host nods. "He is."

"But Oscar is the son of his best friend," Penny protested. She can't imagine doing that to Ruby's children.

Darth Anarchus shook his head. "He's a soldier of Krypton. He has a duty to Krypton and he will not let anyone prevent him for carrying it out."

A beat of silence before Hazel declares, "Release the World Engine." And the screen went black after the World Engine is released.

"Oh shoot," Ruby, Velvet, Jaune and Nora muttered.

"Aw nuts," Sun slumped in his seat.

"Oh shit," The rest of the students muttered.

"Fuck," Qrow, Raven, Robyn, Roman, Emerald and Mercury said.

"Poop," Adrian declared. Saphron and Terra gasped before glaring at Jaune. The blonde knight held his arms up. "Sorry." he said sheepishly.

I do hope I did this all justice.

Now what was your favorite reaction of the whole chapter? I honestly enjoyed writing the part of Colonel Hardy standing his ground. What about you?

Next is the Black Zero Event/Final Battle of Man of Steel combined with Bruce Wayne's perspective of the event from BvS: Dawn of Justice.

Until then.

Take care.
