"Hey." Galaxia started.

"Hey!" She tried again.

"HEY!"

"What?" Beerus asked, "What could possibly be so important that you had to stop our flight?"

"Where are the ICHPAUs that were chasing us?" Galaxia asked, "We fought some a few weeks ago, right? They seemed to have stopped their pursuit and… I don't know, maybe they went back?"

"If they went back, then they would have had to have detected a power much greater than ours." Beerus noted, "That Roger fellow said that they attack the strongest being that they can find."

"We got word that Broly showed up though. Didn't your friend speculate that he was stronger than you?"

"Please." Beerus scoffed, "I still haven't shown Goku my full power. But that still doesn't answer the question… What could have possibly shown up to make them turn around?"


"'Ey, Saitama! On yer left!"

"Hah! Thanks, Popeye!" Saitama replied as he struck a strange being with his fist, sending it scattering into pieces, "You got one coming in from behind you!"

"Aye!" Popeye gave it a swift blow and sent it flying into the sun, "Thanks fer the heads up!"

"Okay! I think we found a nearby planet where this fight can take place without- AHH!" Gwen narrowly dodged out of the way of a recently defeated ICHPAU, "A little warning next time?"

"Sorry ma'am." Popeye tipped his hat.

Gwen sighed, "It's okay. Just… Be a bit more careful next time."

"Those things are really annoying, huh?" Barbara asked.

"Yeah, those ICHPAU units are really annoying."

"'ICHPAU' stands for 'Interdimensional Character-Hunting Polymorphic Attack Unit.' You just said 'Unit' twice."

"People say 'ATM Machine'" Gwen snarled, "Bite my ass, but I'm not taking flak for that."

"Either way, we think we found a planet where the fight won't, y'know, break the planet." Barbara rolled her eyes, "Popeye! Saitama! You guys hear that?- You won't have to hold back anymore!"

"Wait, don't these guys operate off of toon physics?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"So, shouldn't that mean that these ICHPAU Units-"

"Basically said 'units' twice there again." Barbara interjected.

"Say that again. See what happens." Gwen glared, "But, back on topic, should't that mean that these things should also be adapting similar abilit- GAH!"

*CLANG!*

"Uh, sorry about that!" Saitama apologized.

Barbara was a bit in awe as the ICHPAU that had previously been struck by him had simply… rubber hosed its way back to hitting Saitama, only for him to only narrowly be able to move out of the way.

"I got it!" Popeye called out as he punched the Attack Unit with enough force that it started careening towards the sun.

"Nice moves!" Saitama called to his rival as the two shared a fist bump.

"Yer not half bad yaself!" Popeye complimented back.

"… Ow…" Gwen muttered.

"So uh… You need some help?" Barbara asked.

"No." Gwen sarcastically said as she pushed herself up, "I was just lying on the ground because the asphalt was really comfortable."

"Well, considering that these guys broke all of the kinetic energy reflectors we had-"

"Was it really a surprise?"

"Yes!" Barbara stressed, "Not even Broly could break through those! I figured, 'Hey! Maybe it could stop these guys from breaking everything.' But noooo! Stupid Toon Force and broken Anime Bullshit had to ruin all of them!"

"Yeesh! We said 'sorry' already!" Saitama called out as he smacked away another ICHPAU into Popeye's fists.

"Huh. Weird, you'd tink that they'd've jus' split up by now…" Popeye wondered.

"Crap. Now they're enhanced by Toon Force. This day could not get much worse." Barbara grumbled.

"INCOMING!"

*CRASH!*

"Crona. What a surprise. Honestly, if someone was going to end up crashing into the pavement after I jinxed everything, I would have expected it to be-"

"LOOK OUT!"

*CRASH!*

"Speak of the devil. Korra. How'd you end up in this situation?"

"Give it a moment."

"HEADS UP!"

*CRASH!*

"Good grief. Star. Can you explain what's going on?"

"We uh… We tried fighting Madara and Aizen." She said, gripping her broken arm.

"And?"

"We kinda, sorta, maybe just a teensy weensy bit, got blown up…" She admitted.

"I see." Barbara sighed, "Is this something that we should be worried about?"

"We uh… Didn't get blown up by Aizen or Madara." Korra said sheepishly.

"DIO?"

"It wasn't a villain." Crona said as they shook their head.

"Mickey?" Gwen asked, only to be answered by Korra scratching the back of her head.

"Broly?" Barbara sighed, as she likely knew the answer.

"Yeah…" Star said, "On the bright side, Wally and Thawne are there and can hopefully knock him out."

"Great. Just great." Gwen complained, "Of all the times, it had to be when we're trying to relocate these two so that them drawing in the ICHPAU Units wouldn't cause any trouble!"

"Doesn't 'ICHPAU' stand for 'Interdimensional Character-Hunting Polymorphic Attack Unit'?" Crona asked.

"Yeah, you basically just said 'unit' twice!" Ragnarok added in.

Gwen glared, "I really don't care for you two now-"

"LOOK OUT!"

*SMACK!*

"-GAH!"

"Well… That's probably going to leave a concussion." Barbara commented.


Dude: I have a bad feeling about this…

Wade: Is that a Star Wars reference?

Dude: Wha? That's a stock quote! It's not exclusive to Star Wars!

Wade: Sorry. I tend to cope with hopeless situations like this with sarcastic humor.

Dude: Mood. But can we maybe have some extra optimism?

Wade: Eh, no promises.
