Chapter 55: What it took...

"WHAT!"(Zasa)

Commandress Zasa was stunned by the request of this person, and she wasn't alone; almost all of the Amazons on the royal throne were too.

"You are really well informed about us, isn't it?" (Queen Hippolyta)

The queen sarcastically commented.

"There are many things that I know and many things that I don't know."

"I see...(Queen Hippolyta)

*Sigh*

"Very well, I Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, give you my word(Queen Hippolyta).

*Gasp*

"Really mother!?" (Diana)

The princess interrupted.

"Not now, child (Queen Hippolyta)

But the Queen didn't budge at all.

"Very well then..."

Isaac lifted up his right hand, and with a snap of his fingers, a portal appeared behind him.

Two individuals came through the portal: a golem and an Amazon with chains on her hands.

The Amazon looked alright, although a little malnourished, but the Amazons understood why. It was part of their training to not eat or drink anything when you are captured; dead is more preferable than giving any kind of intel to the enemy.

"Release her"

Isaac gave the order to the golem.

"Yes master"

The golem came closer to the Amazon to release her, but it was then that the Amazon tried to attack it with her feet.

A straight kick to the chest, but the golem moved to the side. After moving right past him, she recovered her balance, then she launched a round kick to the left, to which the golem responded by grabbing her foot and spinning it around hard, thus breaking her balance.

*Thud*

*Pant* *Pant*

She fell to the floor exhausted, partially from the lack of food and water.

When she attempted to get up to continue fighting, Commandress Zasa didn't want to watch anymore; luckily, Queen Hippolyta spoke.

"That's enough, Faruka" (Queen Hippolyta)

Her voice was stern and grave; this woke up Faruka from her trance-like state immediately.

"My...my Queen..." (Faruka)

She looked panicked at the projection in the middle of the hall.

The golem took the opportunity to remove the cuffs and chains from the Amazon, then left through a portal that appeared beside it.

"There's your Amazon; I will visit your island in a couple of weeks if that's fine with you, Queen."

The voice of Sephiroth brought attention back to him.

"Yes, it's fine with us. Commandress Zasa secure the prisoner and depart immediately. Sephiroth, we will speak further when you come here." (Queen Hippolyta)

*Gasp*

"Q...Queen"(Faruka)

"I will look forward to that."

He stood up and made a cordial bow. In response, the projection disappeared from the hall.

"You four get the prisoner"(Zasa)

Commandress Zasa immediately gave orders to apprehend her sister, and then she took the orb from the ground.

"If that's all, I wish you all happy travels."

(A polite way to say get out) (Zasa)

"We are leaving(Commandress Zasa)

"Yes!"(Amazons)

They didn't take more time; they got Faruka, and with the same motion, they left the hall the same way they came.

When they reached the blue film, they didn't hesitate to go through, but contrary to where they thought they would land, they were directly in front of their ship.

"What!?""How!?"

"Ah, right, I forgot, according to the report, he is a sorcerer."

"Right"

(I forgot about it to, after all he gave warrior vibes in the first place.) (Zasa)

"Let's go, everyone!" (Zasa)

"Yes!"(Amazons)

***********************************

"Finally peace and quiet, at least for a moment..."

Isaac returned to his chamber on the tower; he had many things to analyze and look through.

Which he did; he spent an entire week just looking through the data that Ivory extracted from the Atlantean prisoners.

"I see, so they view their magic as energy, and instead of depending on it, they combined it with technology, which is interesting."

(Unfortunately, the downside of this choice left them with only a basic understanding of her own gift.)

He hasn't left the room that he was in for an entire week, not even to sleep or eat.

"Well, now that I finish with that, I need to see the ships, Ivory."

[Yes master]

"Pull up the schematics of the ships on the holo projector, please."

[Understood]

In front of him, the projection of a submarine ship appeared. Not only the ship was on this projection, but the weapon system and the engine were also there in great detail.

"Oh, would you look at that? They had the solution to prevent pollution in the environment."

(They created an electrolytic engine powerful enough to power all their weapons and ships.)

*Sigh*

"The hypocrisy of these people is that they complain about us, saying that we are killing the ocean, but they don't share the solution with us either."

(Well, it is not like I will do it either.)

After that moral rant, he stood up from his seat, then went to the bathroom to take the first shower of the entire week.

**************************

30 minutes later...

*Uff*

"Even when I can clean myself with magic, it's not the same."

After the hot shower, he went right back up into his chamber to further study when suddenly...

[Master, there's movement outside the solar system.]

"Hmm?... movement. Let me see."

He hurriedly went to the table where the holographic projection of outer space was visible.

On it, an individual was running from a bunch of spaceships. The curious thing was that as the individual was fleeing, he was also fighting back, throwing neon green energy beams.

"A green lantern is getting jumped by some thughs."

(No wait...)

"Ivory, check the military flight records for Hal Jordan."

[Understood.]

[Acquiring information.]

[Success.]

[Hal Jordan has been assigned as a test pilot for a prototype stealth combat jet.]

"Is it in test right now?"

[Correct, it took off 10 minutes ago.]

Isaac looked at the green lanter fighting for his life, and coincidentally, he was getting closer and closer to earth.

"Hmm...so his time has come to become a green lantern, huh? I suppose he will be leaving earth to train in Oa."

(But what about my brother? Why hasn't he made his debut as Superman?)

Isaac was wondering all that as the green lanter was gravelly injured, crashing on earth, and coincidentally on Hal Jordan Jet.

Both of them crashed on the ground, and then the green lanter passed his ring to Hal.

[What an interesting source of energy!]

"It's called the emotional spectrum; it's a powerful force that can destroy or rebuild the universe at will."

All this was been observed by Isaac and Ivory.

After receiving the ring, Hal Jordan flew outside the earth and soon outside the solar system, but something interesting happened...

A couple of meteors moved due to the energy manifestation of his ring when he passed through them, making a chain reaction that launched a small meteor straight to earth.

[Master, according to the calculations and possible trajectory, this meteor will fall on earth in approximately 2 days.]

(Wait...no way..)

"It is going to fall on Metropolis?"

[That is correct.]

Isaac was shocked; his question was, What it took for Superman to come out...

But he didn't expect for the answer to be...a f*ck*g meteor!.


Chapter 56: What is that?...

*crack*

"What did you say?" (President Bush)

On the White House in the oval office, the president of the United States of America, George W. Bush, and the Secretary of Defense received the news from the N.A.S.A.

'A meteor's going to impact earth in two days, and it will land on Metropolis, to be more precise.'

In his surprise, the cup of water that he had on his left hand slipped onto the floor.

*Cough*

"Mister President, we need to decide what to do." (Secretary of Defense)

"What can we do!?" (President Bush)

He looked at the secretary, and then he looked at the representative of N.A.S.A.

"Well, that's the problem. The velocity and size of the meteor are..." (Representative)

"You're not going to tell me that you all don't have any solutions, are you?" (President Bush)

"Well..."(Representative)

The representative started to sweat; after all, they indeed didn't have any solution; the meteor was traveling at such extraordinary velocity that it was impossible to stop or change course in these limited hours, but there was only one solution—the worse one.

"A nuclear missile"(Secretary of Defense)

"!?"(Representative)

Indeed, the most destructive one was the only solution. This method will not save the planet completely. After all, the minute that the meteor is destroyed, the debris will fall on earth. The smaller parts will be destroyed in the Earth's atmosphere, but the bigger ones will fall all over the globe, doing irreparable damage to the ecosystem and to the nations and their citizens.

"Is there any other solution?" (President Bush)

The answer he received was silence from the representative and his secretary of defense.

"Very well, it's time to tell the American people"(President Bush).

"Sir...""Sir..."

"God blesses us all"(President Bush)

******************

The next morning, an emergency transmission was announced on public television.

"In the early hours of the morning..." (President Bush)

The news was transmitted on all televisions in the United States, not only to them but to the whole world.

All of them said the same: a catastrophic incident will occur in two days when a meteor will fall on Earth, bringing chaos and destruction with it. To prevent this, a nuclear solution is necessary.

"What!?..."

"No way!"

"Oh my god!"

"No,no, no, it can't be."

"I need to call my parents..."

Immediately, chaos and unrest filled the whole world, but a man in Metropolis was different from the rest.

***********************

Clark saw the news on the cafeteria's television; in fact, the whole campus saw it, and he couldn't believe it, but with a look from his supervision into the sky, he saw the meteor coming quickly in the direction of the earth.

"This..."(Clark)

He got an idea—an opportunity for him to reveal himself to the whole world—but he was doubtful, so he picked up his phone and made the first call.

*Ring*

*Click*

"Hi mom..." (Clark)

After an hour of greetings and worries, the only thing the both of them told him was to be careful. They knew that he was invincible, so they didn't worry about that; instead, they worried about his mood and mental health.

"Yes, mom, I will. Okay, I will talk to both of you later." (Clark)

*Beep*

Ending that call, he looked for another number in his contacts; he didn't have many to begin with. The title of this contact was registered as "little bro".

*Ring* *Ring**Click*

"Hi little brother..." (Clark)

**************************

I was watching the emergency broadcast that the government put on television. I was at my house in Florida right now for a bit of a vacation before going back to deal with the Amazons.

*Ring*

Suddenly I received a phone call, and I have some clue as to who is calling right now.

I reached for my phone and answered.

*Click*

"Hi little brother..." (Clark)

(Indeed, it was you.)

"Well, hello, big brother, what can I do for you in these apocalyptic circumstances?"

"You saw the news..." (Clark)

"I think most of the population knows these news by now, don't you think?"

"Right, I was calling you to ask you something." (Clark)

"Hmm...let me guess, are you going to ask me to do something about the meteor?"

"What!?, no, wait...you can do something about it?" (Clark)

"Not really..."

"....."(Clark)

(Ha, ha, ha, ha... ok, enough of teasing him.)

"Ok, enough jokes. Tell me, brother, what happened?"

*Sigh*

"I wanted to ask your opinion about me doing something about this situation." (Clark)

"Hmm...did you call mom and dad?"

"Yes, I did(Clark)

"What did they tell you?"

"To be careful(Clark)

(Well, they know their son.)

"Then let me repeat those words: be careful, big brother. This will be a decision that will change your life and the lives of many, so be brave and know that I will always have your back in case things get dire. Just call me and I will be there."

Hearing those words, Clark felt a huge burden on his chest get thrown away.

"Thank you, and I will take those words to heart. Well,  see you around, little brother.(Clark)

*Beep*

Hanging the phone Isaac looked at the screen of his television.

"And so it begins—the new era for this universe and the planet Earth."

************************

Somewhere on the North Pole

*Crash*

Clark landed in front of a cave.

*Thud* *thud*

He slowly approached the interior of the cave; the cold was nothing to him. Instead, he was recalling the words of his father, mother, and brother, along with the memories of the people around him.

Without noticing, he was standing in front of a beautiful crystal-like structure when suddenly a male voice spoke to him.

[Did you find the answer, my son?]

"Yes, yes, I did(Clark)

[Then tell me, Kal-El, why do you wish to become their champion?]

"Because I love them, I love my mother, my father, my brother, and every person on this planet, and I know that they can do terrible things, but I believe they have the potential to do so much good" (Clark)

A silence engulfed the cave.

[Well said, my son. Come,  I have something for you if you wish to help them.]

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C.

"Mister President: Rusia, China, and North Korea are opposing the decision." (Secretary of Defense)

"So what, if they are!, the meteor will not fall on their country, isn't it?" (President Bush)

"But sir, they will take these chances to..." (Minister of External Affairs)

Since America announced his solution to the meteor problem, other countries strongly oppose that decision, and some even threaten the U.S.A. with nuclear warfare.

"All of them are..." (President Bush)

Before he was going to finish that sentence, the representative of N.A.S.A. came running into the oval office.

"Mister President!" (Representative of N.A.S.A.)

"What!"(President Bush)

Seeing the president so upset, he quickly said what the Observatory Department told him.

"There's something approaching the meteor,Sir"(Representative)

The way he said it was the same way the other people said it, with a tone full of incredulity.

"Say what now?" (President Bush)

___________________________________

Clark took off past Earth's atmosphere into space, and when he reached Mars atmosphere, he finally saw his objective: a relatively small meteor, or at least small compared to a planet.

"Here it goes"(Clark)

He flew close to him, and he match the speed at which the meteor was traveling, then he slowly started to push the meteor out of the Earth's orbit with his hands and body. He was carefully pushing it because he felt that he could break the meteor easily.

Once the meteor was out of Earth's orbit, he went back to Earth.

Metropolis

"Hey, what is that?" (Random Person)

"What?" (Random Person 2)

"There up in the sky"(random person)

The person pointed at the sky, or more specifically, at the object that was coming straight to them.

"Huh?"

More and more people stopped on the streets, trying to figure it out.

"Is that a plane?"

"Is that a bird?"

"No that's...."
