บท 181: Chapter 181: Princess
[3rd POV]
Shinoa's World
It looked like more and more dark clouds were gathering while covering the already dark city in even more darkness.
It used to be dangerous for regular people to just walk through the city. If not vampires, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse could kill you in an instant.
Shibuya was the center of the Imperial Demon Army, and it was evident that something terrible had happened in the middle of it.
Half-destroyed buildings with broken windows, rotting cars on the roads, huge potholes, and fallen streetlights created a gloomy scene.
What happened here was even worse just over a year ago when humans were no longer at the top of the food chain.
However, the city had now grown to be more than twice as big as it had been, and people could be seen walking around without fear.
There were people on top of a twenty-story building that was leaning that weren't there five minutes ago.
"It brings back memories."
Shinoa said with a smile and tried hiding what she felt inside.
However, she couldn't maintain that expression for long as no one was left to hide from.
"We're here to help."
Winter said, stepping up next to her.
"This world really needs our help... Hermione, you can stop checking the ring. We definitely brought everything with us."
"I just want to be sure."
She muttered but she stopped recounting the items in the dimensional ring.
"Horrible weather..."
"Oh, it's not always like this. The sun shines often enough."
Shinoa replied.
"People are rebuilding... When I was last here, Guren became the leader and began restoring humanity's former glory. Even the vampires weren't acting up and were helping under Krul Tepes' leadership."
"Yes, I remember her from the broadcast..."
Hermione recalled something.
"So, we need to contact this Guren?"
Lena asked.
"I hope he's not pretentious like that Batman..."
Erina grumbled, still remembering Batman's distrust and the others from the last mission.
"He wasn't like that,"
Rias responded.
"We need to find out what's happening in the world and start acting. Shall we start with this city?"
She addressed everyone.
"First, we need to understand the situation."
Winter said after a moment, and the others agreed.
"Then let's go!"
Shinoa exclaimed, and soon, they found themselves near one of the Imperial Demon Army bases.
It wasn't long before they all met with him, and Shinoa could see her sister.
It turned out that while the situation in the world had stabilized somewhat but it was far from ideal.
There are some vampires under Krul's leadership who continue to keep their word and truly help Guren and humans in general.
There were special establishments created where people could voluntarily donate their blood, and surprisingly, there were many willing donors.
After all, people saw how useful the vampires were in many areas even though they were somewhat arrogant.
It wasn't mandatory, but artificial blood played a part in it.
Moreover, all vampires connected to Krul had long since regained their emotions and had become much more understanding, gentle, and generally compassionate.
However, just because things were good in Japan didn't mean the rest of the world was the same.
After the Sixth Trumpet died, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse stopped appearing.
However, the ones that were still around were still a nuisance.
The Nobles emerged over time and wanted to return to the old order and turn humans into livestock again.
Then the group of girls had plenty to do.
Hermione cast a spell and shot a beam into the sky while clearing it of clouds entirely.
In a few hours, the city seemed to have traveled back decades.
Hermione restored entire neighborhoods with Rias.
Lena and Erina began unloading various household and essential items into a magically created city center building where anyone could come.
Winter contacted Krul and helped locate fools who still considered humans only as livestock.
The "Life Foundation" began slowly changing this world, starting with Japan...

[Anthony's POV]
DC World
While the girls were busy with their own things in Shinoa's world, I was working on LuthorCorp.
It would have been hard to do without Cortana's help.
I often checked the Green Lantern Corps databases to see what was happening in the universe.
Luckily, I soon discovered that Tamaran had quickly lost to the Citadel, which had completely occupied the planet.
I couldn't just ignore this when knowing that it meant the king of Tamaran had handed his daughter over to the Citadel.
Starfire is a vital member of Earth's defenders, and I decided to intervene and bring Kara along.
"Of course, let's help them!"
Kara exclaimed after I told her what was happening.
She quickly finished her donut and expressed her enthusiasm to bring justice to the world.
The moment she was ready, I opened a Boom Tube, and we transported ourselves right next to the planet Tamaran.
The planet looked very pleasant, like a tropical paradise.
It is the eighth planet in the system and is constantly warm due to its location.
The Tamaraneans evolved from a feline race and have golden skin. They are driven by emotions, making them a passionate race.
"Beautiful..."
Kara said.
We were in the planet's atmosphere and she could breathe and talk.
"First, we need to find the princess..."
I said, scanning the ships in the planet's orbit.
There were Citadel and Psion ships.
Within a minute, I found the person we were looking for on a Psion ship.
The ship suddenly exploded as soon as we approached it, and a smaller ship with "Starfire" written on it flew out.
It didn't fly that far before exploding from the inside... and a red-haired girl came glowing with ultraviolet energy like a mini-sun.
She was followed by another girl who looked like her but had a violet glow and looked stronger than her.
In terms of emotions, the second girl was angry at the first.
They started fighting, but the Psions quickly recovered, and several ships surrounded them while aiming to capture and likely study them again.
This is when Kara and I intervened.
At high speed, Kara rammed into the alien ships with her body.
These aliens looked like small reptilians.
She exploded the Psion and Citadel cruisers that had come to help them with her heat vision.
However, they were no match for her.
"Kara is on a rampage."
I commented while creating a barrier around the two exhausted girls.
"Are you the princesses of Tamaran?"
"Don't stand in my way!"
The ultraviolet energy hit me but didn't even budge me from my spot.
She started bombarding me with violet fire which was impressive.
It was enough to demolish half of Metropolis to the ground.
We didn't speak the same language, but I understood them perfectly through magic.
"Sister, stop!"
The red-haired girl shouted.
"No one dares to stand in my way, and especially not you, sister!"
The other girl shouted with some vengeful pleasure while directing one of her attacks towards her sister.
"So, you're the evil sister."
I said while binding her with magical chains.
"Sister... she's not bad... she's just... confused..."
The red-haired girl a bit naively as she flew closer to me.
"Did you come to help us? Did Father send you?"
"Yes, I learned that the Citadel was rampaging in the Vega system, so I decided to intervene. I'm Anthony Luthor from Earth, a planet in the solar system and no, your father didn't send me."
"I am Koriand'r, Princess of Tamaran. Thank you for intervening..."
She said with a shudder while glancing at the destroyed ships.
"If it weren't for your help, we would probably have been captured again, and I don't know if I could have escaped."
"Grrr!"
The other girl still struggled to break free.
"That's Komand'r... my sister."
Koriand'r said.
"Oh, what do we do now... I... I surrendered to the Citadel to save our people."
"They didn't manage to do anything to you?"
I asked while analyzing her body.
"N-no... the Citadel jailers... they might have wanted to, but the Psions took me for experiments, and then they brought my sister too."
She said, glancing at her sister.
"And I got these powers..."
She looked at her hands.
After a few minutes, she relaxed somewhat. She explained that she and her sister were Tamaran princesses, with Komand'r first in line for the throne.
However, due to a childhood illness that prevented her from converting ultraviolet light into flight energy, she was deemed unworthy of becoming queen.
This responsibility then fell on Koriand'r which made Komand'r very angry because everyone else believed she was worthless except their parents and Koriand'r who loved her.
After they were recently ordered to train under the warriors of Okaara, Komand'r ran away and contacted the Citadel.
She gave them the vital information to capture the planet.
This plan worked, but she quickly learned that her victory did not last long as the Citadel took her and Koriand'r.
Therefore, she failed to usurp the throne but succeeded in causing significant trouble for everyone.
Despite this, Koriand'r was not angry with Komand'r, which surprised me and continued to show her care and love.
O on the other hand, Komand'r was rather spiteful, not truly evil, just very bitter.
"So, what should we do with you?"
I wondered aloud after hearing the story.
"Return them to Tamaran?"
Kara suggested.
"I will do whatever it takes to claim the throne! With my current powers, I am more deserving than you!"
Komand'r shouted while bound and directed her words at Koriand'r.
"Sister... we need to go home! We need to check on our parents!"
Koriand'r said as she took flight.
Kara destroyed the Citadel and the Psion cruisers in space, but some ships were still on the planet.
Koriand'r and I dealt with them as soon as she spotted them.
Besides the Citadel and Psions, there were other invaders, the Gordanians, a race of intergalactic slavers.
It soon became clear what they were doing and abducting the inhabitants of Tamaran.
"Surrender, or your planet..."
A voice from a Citadel ship declared, but Kara flew into it while punching a hole through it and hitting the engines, causing it to explode.
"Was it worth the throne?"
I asked the bound and floating Komand'r.
"You have no right to speak about this, outsider! Once I get free, I will have my revenge!"
Komand'r yelled with anger.
"If it weren't for you, everything would have worked out! I would have made a deal with the Citadel and handed over that arrogant bitch to the Psions to rot there forever!"
"She is your sister, and she loves you,"
I managed to say.
"Just a hypocritical mask hiding her true face."
She scoffed.
Koriand'r was so strong with her increased power that she could blow up ships and melt holes in them with her ultraviolet attacks.
After analyzing them, I realized that their physiology was somewhat similar to that of Kryptonians as both absorbed energy from stars.
Soon, the Tamaraneans themselves joined the fight and took advantage of the opportunity to attack the invaders.
They were very aggressive and charged forward with determination.
Their skills made them formidable fighters who wanted to free their planet.
"Well, I wanted to help a pretty girl and ended up liberating a planet from invaders."
I mused while watching some of the ships retreat and fly away.
On the bright side, this was an opportunity to establish good diplomatic relations between Earth and Tamaran.
The girls may be would want to visit this tropical paradise after completing their mission with the "Life Foundation."
