Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

After the Tournament of Power's conclusion and Karn's wish for all the erased universes to be brought back, with some exceptions, everyone returned to their own universes. Only for Amazo to find Karn and warn him Moro somehow survived, and is now the Destroyer for the Tenth Universe. But, even more surprisingly, Zamasu arrived before him. Thanking Karn for helping him see a new path forward. Not as the bane of mortals, but instead to make 'better' mortals. And after a night of celebrating like the old days, Karn and everyone go to Ubo's adoptive world to resurrect Metropolis. Only to find the Justice League under attack from a new Amazo, one you all with Plastic Man's help defeat. Following Batman halfway across the planet, he leads your group to the League of Assassin's headquarters, the city 'Eth Alth'eban hidden deep underground. And as we rejoin Karn, you get your first look over the sprawling, massive underground city.

“Woah...” Karn Junior says, eyes wide as you all stop. Staring out over the massive underground network, with a prominent statue in the middle of a man holding the single light source. Which seems to be a miniature sun, you glancing to Ubo. Who shakes his head slightly, confirming that whatever the light is, it isn't natural sunlight. Despite feeling the warmth on your skin like the sunny day above in the desert's heat. “There's a whole city down here! Just like back home, except there's still people living here!”
“Yeah.” you reply, a sense of dread rising. These powerlevels down here are of a grade higher than the mortals of the world above, at least of the general populations you can sense.

“So, should we just remove this problem here and now?” your wife asks, raising a finger as she gathers a pinpoint of ki at the tip. Glowing menacingly, as you know she'd obliterate this city without a second thought.
“No. We have to make sure Ra's al Ghul's down here first. Then, find out what his plan was, recreating Amazo.” Batman says with his usual scowl, looking out over the city. “And better yet, how he did it. To make sure no one else can also replicate that android. Or more planets than just this one could fall to it.”
“Can we explore the city, before we blow it up?” Junior asks innocently, clearly wanting to see more of this underground city up close.

Well? What do you do?
>Agree with Meloka and obliterate this whole city. Nothing good comes from groups of people hiding their misdeeds underground
>Follow Batman's lead for now, you do want to make sure if you decide to kill him you actually get Ra's al Ghul. Don't want another villain running around like Nefarious did

“Maybe kiddo, depends on what happens.” you tell him, reaching down and ruffling your kid's hair as you turn to face the cowled man. “We'll follow your lead for now. I do want to make sure we actually get him. Don't need another Dr. Nefarious situation.”

As you say this, a shiver runs up your wife's back, the dark knight's eyes narrowing at your reactions. Noticing even how confused Junior looks by this, but also Ubo's sudden scowl as well. Something he'll no doubt remember as he then draws something from behind his back, firing a grappling hook. Which hits on a stalactite, Batman swinging out into the air over the city. Cape billowing out like the wings of a predator, your son's eyes widening a moment at him.

“Woah...!” he says, eyes wide before you all lift off into the air, flying after him. The dark knight's swing takes him down from the overlook down to the main promenade into the city. And your group draws several dozen pairs of eyes immediately as you all do, the crowd scattering before Batman. Who lands in a low crouch with his cape around him, it looking almost like a liquid as he rises back up to his full height. His cape wrapped around his body almost like a dark liquid armor. But as everyone else moves away, one figure doesn't retreat. Wearing a leather jacket over dark armor, his head fully encased in a bright crimson red helmet. And immediately his body language turns aggressive, taking a step forward.

“What the hell do you want, Bats?” the figure asks, voice distorted through the helmet's speaker. “Whatever it is you think I did, I didn't-”
“Not here for you. Not today.” Batman replies, you sensing the slight edge of anger in his voice as he talks. Yeah, these two clearly have history. Personal history. “Where's Ra's?”
“Busy. Whatever you have to say to him, you can say to me.” he replies, the man clearly close to this 'Ra's' figure. But just as you're about to speak up, Ubo beats you to it.

“He tried to kill Superman.” Ubo says, the gathered crowd muttering at this declaration. But as this exchange goes on, you feel your eyes drawn off to the left. Turning, looking down a dark alleyway, you see a hint of gold. What looks like a golden helmet, and your blood runs cold as Ubo continues to talk. But you don't hear him, Berserker God aura suddenly blazing as you surge towards that shine. Dashing over the crowd and past the figure, turning and sliding to a stop at the other end of the alley, cutting off both figures' escape. Who both turn, one wearing a black and orange face covering, and the other, unmistakably, is none other than the deity who tried to have your son assassinated!

“Nabu.” you snarl, and as you do the wind from your dash catches up to you. Washing over Nabu and the other man. Staggering the human, Nabu's cape blowing around him from the breeze you whipped up with your super speed. “How the hell are you still alive? I watched you die!”
“Karn, son of Tatsu.” Nabu says, turning to you. As does the orange and black-suited man, hands going reflexively to his weapons. But as he sees you, suddenly you see him visibly relax. Instead of addressing you the figure turns back to Nabu.
“You're on your own. You can't pay me enough to fight him.” he says nonchalantly, turning his back on you both and walking back out into the open. Silence hangs between you two, your fists trembling with barely-restrained rage.

“Karn! That's enough. He's on our side.” Batman calls, you blinking in surprise at the words.
“What? After what this monster's done? He tried to have my son murdered!” you snarl, aura blazing higher as the sandstone cobblestone beneath your feet shatters as your power swells. “You think I can just let him go?”
“He already died for his crimes. He was given a second chance to redeem himself.” Batman says, his tone hard, commanding. But then he quits addressing you, instead addressing Nabu. “How goes the search?”

“Deathstroke knew nothing. He spoke honestly.” Nabu replies to Batman, neither of you taking your eyes off one another. The tension so thick you could cut it with a knife. “We're at a dead end.”
“Dead for one of us.” you reply, clenching your fists tighter, your rage threatening to burst forth. But as you draw deeper and deeper into your rage, suddenly you feel your body starting to tap back into Supreme Instinct. And cold clarity washes over you as you straighten yourself, Nabu backing away as he immediately senses the change in you. And as you speak, your voice is no longer strained. But calm. Eerily, overly calm. Like the surface of a frozen lake, your words laced with frost as you address him again. “Disappear. Or I'll kill you again.”

Your voice, spoken with such cold certainty has Nabu acting IMMEDIATELY. An ankh shape appears of his magic behind him, Nabu vanishing with his teleportation spell. You can still sense his energy distantly, up near the surface. Proving to you that this place isn't one you can simply teleport out of. But knowing he's fleeing satisfies your frigid anger, and with a sigh power back down. Not dropping all the way down out of your Berserker God form too, but letting this icy power fade away again until it's needed.

“Now THAT's how intimidation is done.” the red-helmeted figure says from the alleyway entrance, giving you a slow clap. “The old man could take some lessons.”
“Mhrm.” Batman grumbles in response as the helmeted man approaches you. And, surprisingly, offers his hand with a, “Call me Red Hood, General Karn.”

“You know me?” you reply, but still take his offered hand. Gently wrapping your hand around his entire forearm, applying as little pressure as possible, yet you still see in his body language as he winces. “So. What now?”
“You want to go see Ra's, right? I'll take you to 'em.” Red Hood says, pointing back over his shoulder with his thumb. “Follow me, I'll lead you there.”

Well? What now?

“Why?” you ask him, stopping Red Hood in his place. “Why do you want to help us?”
“Us? No, I'm not helping some 'us'.” he answers, and even through the helmet you can feel his expression darken. “I'm helping YOU. Because you did what HE-!”

Red Hood points accusingly towards Batman, not turning his helmeted face from you as he continues.

“-never would do. And kill that fucking psycho. Like. He. Deserved.” Red Hood says, real heat in his voice now. “Tell me, you're clearly a dad: if some monster even tried to kill your kid, much less succeeded, what would you do?”
“Ask Nabu. He died for sending an assassin after my son.” you reply, Red Hood nodding before whirling towards Batman.
“See? That's what a REAL father would do!” he shouts, voice full of anger and pain. “A real father wouldn't even let the vacuum of space stop him from avenging his kid! But you? You let that fucker walk free Even after he killed me! Didn't even irreparably break his arms and legs, so even if your 'oh so righteous' morals kept you from actually killing him, at least stop him from hurting anyone else! But I guess you never really saw me as your son, did you Bruce?”

Silence hangs heavy in the alley, as you all look to Batman. Who looks as stoic as ever, unmoving in the face of Red Hood's anger. And now you understand why he's so angry, why he's so willing to help you. But what you don't get is why. Why that man, who you hadn't realized was a father, would EVER let someone who hurt his family like that live, much less go unharmed. And as you look at him, you can feel any respect you had for him disappearing. Whatever moral code he has that keeps him from avenging his family's deaths is something you're not interested in.

“Is that true?” you ask, Batman not immediately answering. The silence stretches, before Red Hood again speaks up.
“Well? Aren't you going to preach your morals at him? The one who had the balls to do what you could not?” he asks, tone still furious. “Tell him it's 'wrong' to kill psychopathic murdering, irredeemable lunatics like that sadistic fuck?”

But Batman still doesn't answer, remaining still and silent. Which clearly gets under Red Hood's skin, as he's about to take another step forward towards him.

“Enough, we can do this later. Right now, I'll follow you to Ra's al Ghul.” you tell Red Hood, who turns to face you. “Lead on.”
“Right, right. Mission first.” he replies, taking a calming breath before turning and walking straight out of the alley. “I'll show you the quickest way to him. Follow me.”

Red Hood leads the way back out of the alley, you following with Meloka and Junior. Batman doesn't immediately come with you all, as he remains standing there. Ubo, you see glance between you all and Batman before taking a few quick steps and rejoining your group, leaving the cowled man by himself as you follow Red Hood. Quiet hangs over your group, until Junior flies up, hovering by Red Hood.

“Was that your dad?” he asks innocently, Red Hood sighing out.
“He was, once. I looked up to him like a father. But when I was captured by the Joker and beaten to death before getting blown up, it was Ra's al Ghul's daughter, Talia, who saved me. She brought my body to the Lazarus Pit, and brought me back to life.”
“You died too? Just like big bro Chilli? Where are your wings?” Junior asks, confused. “Or did you lose them too when you were brought back to life?”

“Wings...?” Red Hood asks, confused. Looking to you, and even through his mask you feel his confusion. So, as he leads you all through the streets you tell what happened to Chilli in the tournament, how he was killed by his own attack and raised himself from the dead as a death god. And then, once it was over Freeza brought him back to life.
“Brought him back to life, just like we'll do the people of Metropolis killed by that monster.” you finish up, Red Hood nodding approvingly.
“Good. Those innocent people didn't deserve to have their lives ripped away by that monster.” Red Hood says to you, then back to your son. “No, didn't have wings when I died. But, when I was brought back, the Lazarus Pit made me stronger.”

“Ohhhh, so that's why you're stronger than other people here.” Junior nods, as if he understands. Then the two stronger powers over there have to be Ra's and Talia, right? If they used the pit more, it makes them stronger, right?”
“What?” Red Hood asks, looking at your son pointing, then to where he points. “That's... How did you...?”
“You can't sense energy?” Junior asks innocently, tilting his head sideways. “But how else do you see who you're fighting behind that big helmet?”

“I have... Other ways.” he replies, clearly surprised at the ki sensing ability. But what now? You know where Ra's and Talia are, presumably. Which just leaves one question:

What do you do?
>Keep following Red Hood, you'll keep your Instant Transmission under wraps for now, save it for if you really need it
>Take everyone and Instant Transmission directly to this Ra's al Ghul, you've waited long enough

“Let's hurry and get this finished up. We need to get Junior back soon, to help his sister rebuild that city.” you tell him, Red Hood nodding and continuing forward. Leading you all down a nondescript alley, to an unmarked wall. Pressing his hand to a hidden switch, which slides into the wall with a click. Revealing a doorway that slides open, also seamlessly.
“Stay close. If you're with me, there shouldn't be any trouble.” Red Hood says, glancing to Ubo as he reconsiders something. “Actually, you'd better be right at my right. Just in case.”
“Of course.” your old friend replies, the two leading the way inside. You let Meloka and Junior follow them, bringing up the rear. But before you go through you glance back down the alley, not seeing any signs of Batman before stepping inside as well.

The door closes behind you, and suddenly you feel the ground drop. This secret room, which you now realizes is an elevator, descends down further. Descending for about twenty seconds before coming to a stop, opening into a wider room. One where, immediately, about a hundred men level metal and wood weapons at you all, rifles of some sort.

“Easy boys. They're with me.” Red Hood says, hands up, palms out towards them as he steps forward. “Here to see the boss.”
“You bring not only outsiders, but offworlders to this sacred place?” one asks, accent thick and heavy. “You dare?”
“I dare. Would you rather let them talk with the boss? Or let them make what happened to Metropolis look like a gentle breeze in here?” Red Hood replies, and after a couple tense seconds everyone lowers their weapons. Standing aside, and letting you all through. “That's what I thought.”

“What're those?” Junior asks, flying over to one. Your son's speed catching the guy off guard, who nearly levels his weapon on reflex. But before he can you blur to him, grabbing the barrel of the weapon. Metal groaning as your bare hand bends and warps the metal, the guy's eyes widening. “Some kinda weapon?”
“AK forty sevens.” Red Hood says, walking across the room while answering your kid's question as he then turns to you. “What do you say, want to give the kid one?”
“Can I? Really?” Junior asks, eyes wide as he turns to you. “Can I get one? Please?”

“Maybe as we're leaving, not yet.” you tell him, your son and you rejoining everyone else as Red Hood leads you deeper into the complex. Down and down, arriving at another elevator. This one going up, and as it opens, you find yourself in a rather ornate, spacious room. Where two beings, a man and woman await.
“Welcome to 'Eth Alth'eban, General Karn. Meloka. Ubo, and... Sorry, I do not know your name, little one.” Ra's al Ghul says cordially. “Who are you?”
“I'm Karn Junior!” your son replies, puffing out his chest, fists on his hips. To which the man, who you can tell at just a glance is dangerous, laughs. Not a cunning laugh, or a staged laugh. But a genuine, grandfatherly laugh. One you recognize as a laugh not too unlike your own.

“I see. You certainly have your father's eyes.” the man says, turning to you. No hint of malice or anger there. “General Karn. A pleasure to finally meet someone as important as you, face-to-face.”
“So, you're Ra's al Ghul?” you ask, the man placing a hand to his chest, bowing slightly.
“At your service.” he replies smoothly, rising with a small hint of a smirk. “To what do I owe the pleasure of a personal visit from the personal representative of our planet's new ruler?”

Well? How do you respond?
>Ask him what he knows about Amazo
>Tell him you know he's behind this new Amazo, and that it needs to be shut down. He's working with powers he doesn't understand and that could destroy his entire planet

As you look at him, at this being, suddenly you have an idea. And with a thought and moment of focus, you activate your Dark Gaze. Staring down at him, watching Ra's al Ghul's eyes narrow slightly as he no doubt sees the change in your eyes.

“Ra's al Ghul. Why did you create a construct as potentially destructive as Amazo?” you ask him, meeting his gaze. “And why did you deploy it against the Justice League?”
“Why did I create a weapon? The same reason anyone creates a weapon. The same reason you train your body so diligently.” he says, you not sensing any deception from him as he stands tall, hands going behind his back. Standing like Lord Beerus does, surprisingly enough. “To enforce my will, and to prevent others' will from being enforced upon me.”
“Then why did you send it to attack the Justice League?” Ubo suddenly shouts, taking a step forward. Talia, presumably, reaches behind her back for something. But is stopped as Ra's raises a hand casually, dismissively. “That monster nearly killed Superman!”

“It would not have killed him. I merely sent it as a... Test run. Once it had rendered all of you so-called heroes unconscious, the android was to return here with all of its combat data.” Ra's says, unshakably cool in his demeanor. “But it would seem our otherworldly friends are never more than a blink away. And, before you ask why I hadn't sent a warning before, well. If you knew that machine wasn't there to destroy you all, would you have fought it so intensely? Pushed it past the breaking point, and showing me the weaknesses of the design? Speaking of, it was a clever move, by Plastic Man. His abilities are the most... Troublesome to plan for.”
“Wait wait wait. You rebuilt that android Amazo? The one that nearly killed the League back when Lex found it?” Red Hood asks, sounding shocked and more than a little horrified.

“No, at least, not the same level as that godly machine. The late Doctor Ivo's nanotechnology is something I do not have access to. Lex does not keep any physical records of that tech he discovered, leaving it only within his own mind as he's destroyed every physical trace of Ivo's nanotechnology research.” Ra's al Ghul says, shaking his head. “No, I was forced to re-engineer it with what knowledge and records I could discover from Ivo's collaborators and friends. As well as help from another source, who has also gained access to a different, but still impressive cyber technology. Allowing me to create lesser, but still powerful androids based off of the Amazo framework. All to do what you so-called heroes cannot do: protect this world.”

“What?” Ubo asks, tone a mix of offended, curious, and insulted. “What do you mean by that?”

“Darkseid. Doomsday, the Thanagarian invasion, Brainiac, General Zod, Starro, the White Martians. Each and every time the world has been invaded, millions have suffered before you all were able to best them, to repel these invaders. But yet, despite the casualties they caused, every time, they have gotten away. You all can stop these threats, eventually, but no true justice gets carried out.” Ra's al Ghul says, clearly growing more impassioned as he speaks. “Only when our otherworldly friends, like the General here arrive do the threats to this world face true justice. Like Doomsday, or Joker. Irredeemable monsters who should be put down, for the good of everyone else.”

“But that's- We just can't-” Ubo starts, you glancing to him. Seeing the conflict on his face, something you're not used to seeing.
“General Karn. The people of this world need true strength, strength like yours to protect them. And those currently protecting this world are woefully inadequate for the task.” Ra's continues, turning to you. “But your arrival, that first time showed me the truth. You cannot bargain with evil, with monsters who seek only to conquer and destroy. They must be destroyed, utterly and completely. And to that end, I have started this new android project. If you would allow me, I would show you my vision.”

“Father?” Talia asks, eyes going wide. “Do you mean-?”
“Of course. Our friend, General Karn here. Or his wife, or even their son could have destroyed this entire city the moment they were through the doors.” Ra's answers her casually, turning and going to another door. Opening it and revealing another elevator. “They did not, because they seek the truth. And I wish to show it to them. Only... Ubo, you cannot come with us.”
“What? Why?” Ubo asks, suddenly suspicious. To which Ra's, still the picture perfect host continues.

“The room would kill you in minutes, at most. Between the Kryptonite and Red Sun lamps, you'd be so weak I would be afraid for your health.” the man says, his tone seeming to be genuinely apologetic. “Talia will let you join our conversation, at least hearing it, through the camera feeds so you won't miss what I will be showing them. Shall we?”

And you look from the elevator to Ra's inviting gesture, not sensing any malice or ill intent from him. But can you trust him? Should you?

Well?

>Agree, you're curious now. If it's a trap, you're sure you can easily destroy everything down here and get your family clear
I don't think Cooler would ever let us hear the end of it if we destroyed whatever's down there without verifying what it actually is. I'm sure Frieza is also extremely curious as to what this ace-in-the hole is.
Also I'm glad that Ra's understood that we're trying to be diplomatic here. Pic extremely related.
Anyways...what could it be? The Kryponite and Red Solar lamps might imply that it's a Kryptonian specimen, but those could also just as easily be simple safeguards to prevent Kryptonian intrusion. But that brings up the question of what would you NOT want a Kryptonian to see or have access to?

I'm sure we do, but he could just as easily be blowing smoke up our ass right now. That line about "[...]others' will from being enforced upon me." feels like it was tailor made to appeal to Karn specifically. He DEFINITELY knows more about us than just surface level observations.
>we've been very forgiving of some foes like the time patrol and the sangheili
True, but that's only because Karn knows it's the leadership of those respective factions that are the root of their hostility towards him. Also don't forget that we've just as often wiped out entire organizations, species, and planets for crimes far less damning than a potential army of Amazos.

“Sure, we'll come along.” you reply, giving your wife a small nod. Who returns it, placing a hand on Junior's shoulder. If anything happens, she'll take care of him. And you'll handle whatever's down here, if it proves to be a trap. Your subtle glances don't go unnoticed, as Ra's actually nods approvingly before turning his back on you all and stepping inside. “Stay alert, Ubo. Never know who's watching.”

Ubo nods at your instruction as you, Meloka and Junior all move to go inside. But Ra's raises a hand at Red Hood, stopping him.

“Before you head down, I'll need you to disarm.” Ra's tells him, Red Hood's stance immediately becoming aggressive. “Not all of the prototypes down here are finished, and will... React violently towards openly worn weapons.”
“Then I'll stay up here, keep the big guy and Talia company.” he replies, giving you a small nod before backing up. The elevator door then shuts, and you feel the ground fall out from under you again. Weight shifting, you ride this elevator down. And down, and down, far deeper than the other one. For over two minutes you all descend, Ra's standing in silence, the rest of you wondering what will be beyond the door when it opens. But as the elevator comes to a stop, the door doesn't immediately open. Ra's turns to you, his expression serious.
“Some of these machines may be... Malfunctioning. I don't expect you to hold back, should any faulty machine attempt to harm you and your family. However, please keep collateral damage to a minimum.” Ra's says, tone slightly apologetic. “The technology can be...uncooperative, at times. Which is why the need for the testing. As well as the containment protocols.”

And as he says containment, the door begins to open. And as it does, the ambient red glow illuminating the room beyond is the first thing you see. The door fully opening, you see a large, open room with machines humming that remind you of Arctus' droid factory. And more than a dozen MORE of the Amazo-looking androids. Who all freeze, turning towards the elevator door in perfect sync. Ra's al Ghul steps forward first, boldly, without hesitation. And all the machines watch him, as if scanning him. Then they all look past him towards you, their postures shifting subtly.

“They are guests.” Ra's commands, and with that declaration they all go back to what they were doing. And at the far end of the room, next to a cylindrical sort of machine reminiscent of something you've seen before, but you're not sure exactly what or where, stands a figure with his back to you all. But at Ra's voice the figure turns, and you see a man. A half man, half machine being who immediately makes your skin crawl. “Brother Blood. We have company.”

“Well now, this is quite the surprise. The otherworldly conquerors, come to our humble home.” the cyborg says, spreading his arms wide in a welcoming gesture that makes you uneasy. “Welcome, to the future of Earth.”
“Thanks to Brother Blood's knowledge of advanced cyborg technology, and Doctor Hamilton's genetics work with Kryptonian DNA, we have managed to take the next step forward for the protection of our world.” Ra's al Ghul proclaims, gesturing towards the android-looking machines. “Behold, the new Amazo!”
“Wait, they're... Not entirely machines?” you ask, suddenly surprised. However, as you focus your ki sense, your jaw drops as you're filled with a sudden, horrific dread. That machine looks familiar because it IS familiar. Down to there being a ki signature within, just like aboard the Big Gete Star all those years ago. “No, this... It, it can't be...!”

“D-Dad?” Junior asks, his tone worried at your shock. But you can't look away, sensing the powerlevel inside the machine, controlling it.
“There's no way. There was a second one?” your wife asks, both men turning their gazes on you both, curiously.
“A... Second... One? The one called Brother Blood asks, looking confused. But Ra's, seeing your worried expressions immediately turns worried as well.

“General Karn, what is it? You seem as if you've seen a ghost.” he says, approaching you cautiously. “Are you alright?”
“Where-? How did the Big Gete Star survive?” you ask, the name not registering. “How is this thing still around? I destroyed it!”
“Big Gete Star? General, I do not know what you're talking about. But your sudden worry has me concerned.” he says, seemingly genuinely upset with your reaction. Upset, and... Scared. Seeing your reaction to his collaborative creation and reacting so has clearly spooked him. Even Brother Blood looks worried, though far less so than Ra's.

But what do you do? What do you say?

>>6349575
Yeah, this might be something that would have conceivably wiped out the Saiyans. Imagine what it would to a population with single digit power levels on average (and an army of Amazo at its beck and call if they share a network).

I still think it really sold the earth-shattering, blinding fury that the first Beserker transformation was all that time ago. You could really feel the HATE and RAGE boiling over. It's one of the reasons why I stuck around for this quest.

“What you've built. I've... We've faced it before. And it nearly drove our people to extinction.” you tell Ra's, who freezes. Eyes going wide with shock. “It was called the Big Gete Star. A floating space station of metal, one with a living being acting as its core. Allowing the station to recreate its previous bodies with metal, creating titans of terror.”

As you talk, your wife uses her mastery over her ki to create an image of the mecha lizards that invaded New Salda, with tiny to-scale Saiyans underfoot of the massive monster and its energy breath.

“That station came to our world, attaching itself to our planet to drain it of resources in its ever-expanding quest for raw materials.” you continue, remembering the scars your father had after the battle. How they'd nearly killed him, how even you and your wife couldn't fight through the hordes of monsters and were captured. Brought inside to be tortured for the pleasure of the madman Dr. Nefarious who directed it at your people. “We... Barely survived. If I hadn't tapped into this power, the strength and fury of the Berserker Soul... Our people would have been exterminated. Erased completely, and forgotten to time as the monstrous Big Gete Star continued its travels, consuming ever more worlds to feed its forges.”
“How did you overcome such a monstrous creation?” Brother Blood asks, expression determined. “If they were so great, how did you best it?”

“Simple. My longtime nemesis, Dr. Nefarious, had one of his machine bodies inside the Big Gete Star, steering it towards his goals of revenge. And instead of killing me and my wife outright, had its monsters bring us deeper inside so he could gloat in person. Straight to the core, where the biological core was.” you reply, pointing at the machine. Where you can sense a living being inside, something stronger than anyone non-Saiyan in the room by a WIDE margin, even stronger than your son too. “And as that bastard tortured my wife and I, he...”

Your voice trails off, the memories painful even all these years later.

“As it was electrocuting us, it also brought up displays through the eyes of its many metal bodies. Showing me the torture of my race, even going after my young children. I...” your voice cracks, remembering the despair, the pain you'd felt in the moment of hearing your daughter beg hopelessly for you to save her. “I almost watched them die. And with everything happening, something inside me broke. And I tapped into this power instead. And with it, I was able to destroy the core, killing that monster that had merged with the machine. Setting off a chain reaction that destroyed the Big Gete Star.”

Silence hangs in the room as you finish speaking, your wife pressing herself to your side. Even Junior's quiet, looking down at the ground as you slowly take a deep breath in, sighing out evenly.

“But the worst part, what made the Big Gete Star such a threat, was that it learned.” you continue, both men's gazes IMMEDIATELY snapping back to you. “Figure out how to damage one machine body? It learns from the encounter. That same attack won't work twice. Find a weak point and tear off an arm? It can then repair that arm, better than before and unable to be severed by the same attack. Destroy one body? The weakness is that it only has one body, and makes an army. The machine's ability to adapt and overcome. No matter what techniques, powers, and abilities we have, the monstrous machine kept getting stronger.”
“Does this machine do the same?” your wife asks them seriously, her gaze and voice iron. “Does this machine adapt in the same way?”

“No. This device is in no way such a massively destructive weapon.” Ra's al Ghul answers immediately. “Such a power would be completely uncontrollable, would grow beyond any measure to contain and destroy us. Not only us, but our entire world. There are too many unchecked powers running rampant on this earth for us to make an ARMY of them.”
“Would be foolish of us to not have failsafes.” Brother Blood replies, but also looks noticeably uneasy. Clearly now doubting the control he has over this machine, over these android warriors he and Ra's are making.

What now?
>Ask what failsafes it has, how they can stop it from becoming the same menace that nearly wiped your people out. And remind them your people are a warrior race, while most of theirs aren't even strong enough to STAND on your planet without being crushed by the gravity alone

“Regardless, this machine's ultimate fate is up to Emperor Cooler. Who, once I've left, will be told about this.” you tell the two men seriously. “It will be up to him to either allow this to continue, or obliterate it and everyone who knows of what was needed to make it work. I can't begin to guess which path he'll take, this is... Honestly, beyond me. And I'm too personally affected to even begin to offer an objective look at your device.”

Your honest, frank reaction startles Brother Blood, but Ra's al Ghul nods along with your words.

“A wise man knows when his own vision is clouded, and seeks outside council to see what he cannot.” Ra's replies. “For now, we shall continue operations as planned. With a rather... Comprehensive review of all failsafes and safeguards on this power. Your perspective and worry are both appreciated.”
“Junior!” Meloka hisses, you turning your focus from Ra's and seeing your youngest has flown directly up to the machine itself, laying a hand on it as he peers in.
“That little heart in there, beating all by itself.” Junior says, turning his head back towards you all. Expression... Conflicted. “It's lonely.”

“Lonely?” Ra's asks your son, turning to him. “What makes you think this?”
“I asked it.” Junior replies, your young son's expression troubled. “It can't think, not like a person. But it still... Feels things. And it feels lonely, like it's missing something. Like it doesn't want to be in there, but be in a real body.”
“And it... Told you this?” Brother Blood asks incredulously. “The heart?”

“Yeah. Just like this.” Junior says, and as Brother Blood's eyes widen, you realize your son's reaching out to him telepathically. “Like that!”
“Direct soul-to-soul communication...” Brother Blood says, voice awed as he looks down at his metal hands. “I... I see now. I understand. Yes, it all makes sense now.”

And Brother Blood, without another word rushes off to a computer terminal, clawed metal fingers flying over the keys as he mutters to himself. Ra's al Ghul looks to him a moment before turning back to you all.

“You have my thanks, for everything. And take word to your... Our, I suppose, Emperor Cooler. We await his instruction on whether or not we should proceed with our operation, or ceasing all functions.” Ra's al Ghul says to you. The two of you sharing a nod, but as you all return to the elevator, door closing on that room and the memories it reawakened, you look back on your life. On everything you've done, all you've accomplished. Realizing that it is thanks, at least in part, to Nefarious that you've become who you are, and that your family are thriving. Seems his greatest achievement wasn't any of his own inventions, but making you better.

And that's it for tonight, everyone enjoy the ride? Ready to leave this city behind and finally restore Metropolis? Do you think Cooler will permit this experiment to continue, or will he obliterate them all personally? What do you think Ubo's reaction will be, to learn a Kryptonian heart is what's at the core of these androids? And where has Batman gotten to? All this and more, when Saiyan Conqueror Quest continues at noon EST!

>>6349641
>Ready to leave this city behind and finally restore Metropolis?
Perhaps not so quickly. If Junior's insistent on grabbing a souvenir, I wanna see if we can't get something for everybody.
>Do you think Cooler will permit this experiment to continue, or will he obliterate them all personally?
Brother Blood is definitely getting the axe. He's far too ambitious for his own good and Arctus is more than equipped to take over his project, assuming Cooler deems it fit to continue that is.
>What do you think Ubo's reaction will be, to learn a Kryptonian heart is what's at the core of these androids?
Shock, then anger, and finally when it dawns on him, fear.
>And where has Batman gotten to?
Bats was clearly in his own thoughts, but that's never stopped him from doing his job. I imagine he's gathering as much intel as he can while he's here and compiling it for Cooler.
If the Emperor were to get a third party report that conflicts with what Ra's shows him, that might push the Justice League higher in his estimation by virtue of not lying to him outright.

>>6349645
He just liked the aks. Thought they looked neat.
Perhaps. But Cooler does appreciate ambition.
We'll see. After all, he already knows what's down there.
It's a good question, where he's gotten to. Or WHICH mission he's currently on.

>>6349667
>He just liked the aks. Thought they looked neat.
Polished wood and blued steel definitely have a look to them. It's a shame that he's well beyond the need of such things. That said, most weapons aren't able to scale with the user, but we've seen those that can. Something to think about if he catches the gun bug I guess.
>Perhaps. But Cooler does appreciate ambition.
Ambition is admirable, sure, but it's also incredibly dangerous to those who might run counter to it. Something I'm sure Cold has told Cooler about a thousand times.
>We'll see. After all, he already knows what's down there.
Ah. It's a wonder he hasn't vaporized the place then.
>It's a good question, where he's gotten to. Or WHICH mission he's currently on.
Well the mission better not be "Drown my sorrows in fine liquor and Talia's thighs". I also hope he was smart enough to slip a bug on us before we got separated.

The elevator ride back to where you'd first met Ra's goes in silence, everyone lost in their own thoughts. Even Junior, who's usually far too enthusiastic to stand still for long stays quiet. But that quiet is broken as the elevator door opens to a sight. Ubo, furious, staring down both Red Hood and Talia, both of who are wielding faintly luminous green rocks. Which you recognize immediately as Kryptonite, the biggest weakness of a Kryptonian like Ubo. But even in the face of it, he's still standing, clearly pained.

“-o down there. It'll kill you in seconds.” Talia is saying as the doors open.
“Get out of my way! I-! I have to-! Save her!” Ubo shouts, struggling to move but instead dropping to a knee, gasping for air as his hand covers a slash across his chest.
“What is the meaning of this?” Ra's al Ghul asks, tone full of authority.
“The moment Ubo here learned what's at the core of your machines he was about to fly down there.” Red Hood answers, not taking his eyes off your friend. And you notice his piece of glowing rock is just that, unlike Talia's. Hers isn't just a random chunk of rock. But a small, carved DAGGER of it. And there's blood on the blade, Ubo's blood. And as you see this sight you clench your fists, but remaining calm.

“My apologies for slashing your friend, General, but Ihad to stop him before he destroyed the elevator. It would have triggered a failsafe.” she explains as Ubo gasps for air. “Filling the vault below with lethal gasses, another containment protocol. One that would have killed everyone down there in under twenty seconds.”
“That is enough, put the Kryptonite away. Both of you.” Ra's says, walking past them to Ubo. “I understand how you must feel, but you mus-”
“UNDERSTAND?!” Ubo snarls, and the moment the rocks are away he grabs Ra's by his collar, lifting him up into the air as he stands to his full height. Holding the much smaller man more than a foot off the ground, shouting furiously. “She's down there, and needs my help!”

Well? What do you do?

“She? Ubo, what are you talking about?” you ask him, confused. “Do you mean that heart?”
“Didn't you sense it? That's HER!” he replies with a snarl, turning his gaze from Ra's to you. Eyes furious, but there's something else in there too. “They made her the same way they made Galatea! And now my wife's sister is nothing but a heart beating in the core of their infernal machine!”
“Ubo. If we remove that heart from the machine, it will perish.” Ra's tells your friend, who's gaze immediately snaps back to him. “That heart wasn't built to live on its own, it was grown to be an integral part of the androids. If it is removed, 'she' dies.”

Silence hangs at Ra's al Ghul's declaration, you watching the shock on Ubo's face as the realization dawns. He understands that he's unable to 'free' her, that the heart's life is reliant on the machine as he slowly lowers Ra's back down to the ground.

“I understand that you're rather... Touchy about the subject of clones, and of copies of genetic materials birthing new life.” Ra's continues, making a show of dusting himself off as he addresses your friend. “But rest assured, it is well cared for. And if the ruler of this universe, Emperor Cooler, decides to shut down the program, that heart will still be cared for. I shall consult with Brother Blood and Doctor Hamilton and develop a contingency for... her continued care. I shall reach out to you in that eventuality, to home her. Are these terms acceptable?”
“I...” Ubo replies, unsure. Still clearly conflicted, but giving you a worried glance before reaching out to you telepathically. “You don't think Cooler will just... Kill her, will he? Just destroy the entire system?”
“I do not know.” you reply to him honestly, also telepathically. “I cannot tell you for sure. But, I'll tell him everything, and then we'll have to wait and see what happens. If he tells me he's going to end it, then I'll push to have her turned in to your care.”

Ubo stares for a long moment before nodding, sighing out. Visibly relaxing before returning his gaze to Ra's.

“Take... Take good care of her.” he says, then turns to the other elevator door. “Are we done here, Karn?”
“Yeah.” you reply with a nod, then turn to Ra's al Ghul. “We're done here.”
“Very well. Thank you for your time, General.” Ra's says with another bow, then turns to Red Hood. “If you would escort them back out, I believe they have a Metropolis to hurry along and save.”

“Right. Let's move, people.” Red Hood says, you all piling in the elevator, leaving Talia and Ra's back in presumably his office as you all take the other elevator back down. Down to the room where the hundred or so guards are waiting, but this time they don't even look your way. You see some sparring hand-to-hand, others blade-to-blade, and a few others target practicing with those same rifles. And you follow Junior's gaze to the ones using the rifles, watching them shoot and reload with smooth, practiced efficiency. “Hey, kid. You wanted to try one, right? C'mon, I'll show you how it's done.”
“Really?!” Junior asks him excitedly, then turns to you. “Can I?”

Well? How do you answer?
>Tell him of course, to have fun for a bit before leaving

“Of course kiddo, go have a bit of fun.” you say, reaching down and ruffling his blonde hair. “Just be careful not to break their toys, okay?”
“YAAAAAAAY!” he shouts, pumping both fists in the air before rushing over to the guys with the rifles. Startling them, as he crosses the distance before they can even react.
“Ah-! Wait, hold on a second!” Red Hood shouts after your son, rushing to catch up to him as you chuckle. Then turn to Ubo, whose expression is still far away.

“You doin' alright?” you ask him, Ubo blinking in surprise. Looking around confused a moment before turning back to you.
“Oh, Karn. Right. I'm-I'm fine.” he says, but his tone doesn't sound fine. Even Meloka looks to him as he's clearly struggling internally, while from the corner of your eye you see Red Hood explaining to your son the different parts of their weapon, dropping a part and showing much shinier brass needle-like shapes stacked inside before replacing the piece. “It's just.... That's a living being down there. Trapped and isolated, unable to do anything or even interact with the world. And when your son said she felt lonely, I... Remembered how Galatea felt, when Cadmus collapsed. They were going to “decommission” her too, if I didn't step in and save her. These people, they don't... “

He then turns to face you, expression conflicted as he continues.

“They don't view clones as PEOPLE, Karn. They're viewed as little more than slaves, like... Property! With no will or autonomy of their own.” Ubo says, anger still smoldering beneath the surface as he clenches his fists. Clearly needing to vent, to let his anger out somehow. And as he does, an idea comes to mind.
“Meloka, mind throwing up a Barrier around us?” you ask, turning to your wife. Who raises a brow, curiously. “I think Ubo needs to let off a little big of steam.”

“Heh. Sure.” your wife replies with a smirk, raising her arms and forming a dome-shaped barrier around the three of you in the middle of the room before flashing up into her form beyond Blue. Everyone freezes and turns, except for your son who keeps working the weapon over in his hands. “Don't go full power you two, but this should be enough to hold.”
“Alright then, lay it on me. Hit me with your best shot.” you tell Ubo, leaping back and taking your fighting stance. “C'mon Ubo, show- Khhh!”

And before you can finish talking he's closed the distance in a single bound, right fist slamming into your raised, guarding left forearm. The force of the blow sending you sliding back across your wife's energy covering the floor, the shock wave slamming into her shielding energy. Meloka absorbs the blow with her energy, staying clear as Ubo goes on the attack.

You defend yourself, yet as Ubo attacks, he keeps upping the pace. Attacking faster and faster, swinging harder and harder. Forcing you to fight more and more seriously, until his right slips through your guard. Just under your raised left arm, fist slamming into your ribs hard enough to make you wince, recoiling in pain as Ubo follows up with his left, crashing into your jaw and knocking you off your feet. Crashing down to the ground, bouncing once before sliding across the ground. Rolling back onto your feet, hand to your jaw as you use his punch's remaining momentum to slide back to standing, rubbing your jaw.

“Heh. Good to see you haven't been slacking off.” you tell him, only for you to hear your son's laughter over the noise of consecutive explosions. And, turning your head, you see him wielding one of the rifles in both hands, watching it jump slightly with each burst as it fires round after round downrange. Giggling to himself as he shoots, only for the weapon to run dry with a click.
“Oh, it's empty.” he says after pulling the trigger a couple more times, laying the weapon with the smoking barrel down on the table before turning to Red Hood. “That was fun, thank you!”
“Heh, of course kid.” Red Hood says, and even though that helmet covers his head entirely, you're sure he's smiling under there. “Come back anytime, we'll go shooting again. I'll let you shoot some of the guns from my private collection.”

“Really? Cool! I can't wait!” Junior shouts to him, then turns to find you and Ubo inside the dome of his mother's energy. “Dad?”
“Did you have fun?” you ask your son, rising up to your full height, dropping your fighting stance as you turn to him as your son rushes over, words blurring together as he talks about using the weapon. Ubo does the same, dropping his stance as Meloka ends the barrier around you both. And as a group you all head to the other elevator, riding it back up and out into the underground city. Where Red Hood turns to you all, his tone a bit questioning.
“So, you all heading out? Or do you want to stick around a bit longer, see what else this city's got to offer?”

Well?

You're not the first aliens to just show up. Lobo's a regular, after all. As for the ones guarding Ra's, you were guests. Of course you'd leave without issue. However, they were stunned watching you and Ubo throwing hands, as they could feel the impacts through the floor.

>>6350002
Heh, nice.

>>6350002
Wait until they realize Meloka's barrier was eating most of the impact. They'd probably think there was an earthquake otherwise.

“Maybe later. Depends on what happens after that city and its people are all restored.” you tell him, Red Hood nodding once. “But for now, they've waited long enough to be revived.”
“Yeah, you're right about that. Undo at least SOME of that clown's many, many heinous crimes.” Red Hood answers you as you all exit the alleyway, emerging back onto the main road. Where there's no sign of Batman, as Red Hood takes the lead. “I'll show you the way back to the surface, you all can fly it from there.”

“Thanks again for letting me shoot that gun!” Junior says, bouncing along with a skip in his step as Red Hood turns to him, nodding once. Yet even without a word, from his body language you can tell he's smiling as he leads. Your son going beside him, Ubo bringing up the rear as you walk side-by-side with your wife. The bustle of the city around you is calming, not the frantic energy of a panicked city under siege but one where everyone's comfortable.
“There. That's the path back up.” Red Hood says, pointing the way as you all stand under the giant statue of who you now recognize as Ra's al Ghul holding up the artificial light source. As if he's holding up the entire city, bathing it in his light. “But you all should come back some time, under less... Urgent circumstances.”
“I will! And we can shoot more guns!” Junior agrees enthusiastically as you all take to the air, your son waving energetically at him with both hands as the four of you now take to the air. Flying back up to the path you'd walked down before, quickly returning back to the surface. The heavy doors swing open automatically as you all approach, and as they're opened you can suddenly feel everyone's energy. And immediately Lord Freeza reaches out telepathically.

“KARN! There you are, what happened?” he asks, a slightly frantic edge to his mind. “Your energy just vanishes, yours and Meloka's. I couldn't reach either of you telepathically.”
“It's a long story.” you reply, and once outside take to the sky. Flying back over the ocean towards your ally's energy signature, filling him in on everything that's happened and what all you learned.
“So, cloning, huh? Hmmm. This... Complicates matters.” Freeza answers as you finish explaining everything. “And you're leaving this up to my brother?”

“Of course. He IS Emperor now, and even with as much authority as I have, I feel over my head with this one.” you reply, seeing the mainland quickly approaching. “So, we'll tell your brother what's happening, and let him figure out how he wants to handle it.”
“Very well. I'll relay your story while the city is being rebuilt.” Freeza answers as you all fly close, finding the crater and everyone's energy beside it. Dropping out of the air and landing by them all, where immediately Superman looks confused.

“Wait. Where's Bruce?” he asks, noticing who didn't come back with you all.
“He left and went on his own exploration down in that city.” Ubo answers, walking over to Galatea, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and walking a short distance away. No doubt whispering about what he discovered with you all down there as you turn to your daughter.
“So, are you ready?” you ask her, Okira beaming. Even Imagine Dragon looks pleased with itself.

“We're ready.” they say, both slightly out-of-sync just in case. “Are you ready Junior?”
“Just a sec!” he replies, clenching his fists as he focuses. “Haaaaaaaaa! HrrrrrrRRAAAAAAAA!!”

And with a roar Junior's power surges, ascending once more into his more unique form. The heroes of this world all recoil from the pressure of his power suddenly growing so dense, forcing those nearby back who weren't ready for the pressure.

“Now I'm ready! I got all the power you need!” Junior says, Okira nodding.
“Good. Now it's my turn. HYAAAAH!” she shouts, then ALSO ascends into her Berserker form. Emerald aura blazing as she holds the page in her hands, focusing on the words as Junior places his hands on her back.

“THE CITY OF METROPOLIS AND ALL THE BODIES OF ITS FORMER INHABITANTS, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO WERE WITHIN THE BLAST EXCEPT THE ONE WHO PLANNED ITS DESTRUCTION ARE RESTORED TO HOW THEY WERE THAT MORNING AT DAWN[/b]!” Okira and Imagine Dragon say simultaneously, and as they do, you feel the world begin to change. Before your eyes the massive crater begins to fill in, a latticework of underground subways, wires and pipes rebuilding as the city begins to reform. However, as it does you feel Okira's power begin to dip dangerously, and that's when Junior steps in.

Focusing his bottomless well of power, your son begins channeling his energy into his sister. Fueling her own power with his own, you all watching in awe as the city is reconstructed from thin air. Seeing buildings rebuild, bodies reassemble themselves and the world become whole once more. And after two minutes it's done, Okira immediately powering back down and slumping. You catch her before she can fall, your daughter falling asleep right there in your arms with a murmured word. Even Junior's exhausted, for the first time since you've felt this power in him, his energy feels diminished. Seems his bottomless well of power isn't truly bottomless, it does have a limit after all.

“Got you.” your wife whispers as she catches him, Junior going limp in her arms as he powers back down as well. They did it.
“Most impressive. Now, it's my turn.” Freeza declares, stepping forward. But, before he can, Superman takes off. Launching himself into the newly-reconstructed city, flying back a moment later. “Is everything quite alright?”

“Yes, just... Just had to check on a few people.” Superman replies, his entire demeanor having changed. His body's almost vibrating with hopeful energy, clearly excited he'll get to see his wife again. “We're all set.”
“Then stand back and bear witness. As Lord Freeza, apprentice God of Destruction, uses his power this day! Not to destroy, but to return the lives taken!” he shouts, taking his usual pose, then leaping into the air. Curling up on himself as his aura shifts from normal to gold, then even further as he transforms into BLACK FREEZA! But then his aura changes to a bright blue-green, the former emperor and your friend throwing his arms wide. “SHYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

And with his cry, that energy surges forth from him in a sphere. Growing ever-larger, engulfing more and more of the city as he disappears inside that blinding light. You feel his power wash over you, the strange power you can't quite place as his expanding energy continues to swell. Until the ENTIRE city is engulfed in his blinding energy, the former emperor turned Apprentice Destroyer still shouting as he unleashes more and more power. But then, you feel it. One by one, then two at a time, then more and more as tens, hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands of beings' lives are restored! The tiny powerlevels of these humans blip back into existence, millions upon millions of beings revived by your friend's power.

“KYAAAAAAAAAAH! GYAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!” he roars, pouring more and more energy into his resurrection of the city. You feel his strength dropping by the second, and right as you're about to pass Okira to your wife to leap up and help him, he unleashes one final defiant shout before ending the technique. “SHYAAAAAAAAAA!”

And then... It's over. The blue-green glow fades, your ally's power plummets as he reverts back to his normal form, dropping out of the air. Catching himself near the ground, landing in a three-point stance as he catches his breath. Everyone else, yourself included, looking on in awe. You can feel them, all the millions of lives your friend saved. But Superman doesn't wait, immediately taking back off. No doubt to make sure his wife's okay, as you sense him with two minuscule powerlevels. The rest of Superman's allies don't move, staring shellshocked at this display of power. Even Plastic Man's stunned, his jaw laying on the floor as his hands hold his head. But all you can feel is pride. Pride in your children, and pride in your friend. Lord Freeza. Who slowly pushes himself upright, turning to you with a smug and satisfied but exhausted grin. To which you can only return the gesture, the two of you sharing a nod of understanding. No matter what happens, as long as you face it together, no force in this universe or the other eleven can stand up to you.

How did it got to earth? That second version.

Need to see the entire worlds reaction to this, Ra's must have had a chip watching, or the illuminati's satellite on us during this, how's the world reacting to our kids and friend backing up the claims we made?

>>6350019
Perhaps. Once the world sees the PTO's power not only for violence, but also for peacetime, acceptance of the PTO'll spread.
>>6350035
Yes, I'd mentioned offhand ooc once that Zatanna had brought him back, but now IC you know. And between that and what Karn learned of Jason's backstory, his trust in Batman's in shambles.
A very good question. Is this an "everything becomes crab" situation or was outside influence needed to reach this outcome? Perhaps you'll find out eventually.
>spoiler1
A prime suspect, for sure.
Agreed. I still get emotional when I read it.
Paragus died, Tatsu got maimed, and thousands also perished.
>You could say it’s Galatea’s clone sister.
Ubo certainly sees it that way.
>I wonder what happens next
Me too. I guess we'll have to wait and see!
Yes. It can block even Martian Manhunter's telepathy, and it's also why you can't teleport in or out. Even Darkseid can't directly teleport in from Apokalypse.
Glad you enjoyed.
>spoiler 2
Ha, but no.
>>6350040
Every satellite in the area was watching, as was the Watchtower. World governments believe now the PTO, with its powers over life and death, are THE undisputed power in the universe.

>>6350094
I want to say that this planet needs more surveillance than just random teleportation inspections every other month, but I don't want to micromanage things to death either.
>And between that and what Karn learned of Jason's backstory, his trust in Batman's in shambles.
Does Batman understand the value of what he just fumbled? Being in the General of the PTO's goodbooks goes a long way.
>World governments believe now the PTO, with its powers over life and death, are THE undisputed power in the universe.
Ayyy, can never have too much soft power. Hopefully they get their shit together after seeing all of that.

>>6350094
>Me too. I guess we'll have to wait and see!
It’s good that Karn Junior connected to the heart in the machine. What if this was fist interaction this heart had since it started to exist. Now it’s lonely, but what if in time this changes to anger at people who made this machine and the fate they put that heart into?
I wonder what Brother Blood’s solution to this situation will be.

Also this lonely heart that may grow to hate it’s creators is if understood this right in control of the growing army of the Amazo copies?

Those copies are weaker than Amazo, they don’t have such potential… but they connected this whole thing to new Big Gete Star. Which can improve and may figure out how to overcome its limitations. Those androids are not as dangerous as Amazo yet but they can get better.

This new Big Gete Star seems like a guarantee that what they are building here will reach threat levels that the first star had and may even grow higher.

I guess we will see how it goes. I have a feeling that what is happening in this underground city will have big consequences.

>>6350099
It is a bit of a hotbed for chaos. Perhaps that's partially why a Lord of Order is there? Or perhaps BECAUSE the Lord of Order is there that Chaos happens?

Yes, that was the first. This may affect Junior just as much as that cloned Kryptonian heart. Fortunately it's only a heart and not a brain, so it can't 'think'. Only feel.
I'll say this, it isn't a Big Gete Star. It isn't that powerful, and it can't operate independently. That's partially why it can't COPY superpowers like Amazo could, but why its bodies are around Kryptonian levels of strong. As for Blood, well, perhaps telling him of the potential of the Big Gete Star might not have been the cautionary tale you'd intended, but will be seen as the path to overthrowing everything? We'll see who comes out on top, Blood or al Ghul.

Blood I swear to fuck. We literally already killed your god. We have his skull as a tourist attraction.

You don't want to escalate this.

Also this new Captcha is the worst one SO FAR. I couldn't even post during Live my captchas were so shit.

Uh, which one was that? I'm thinking Trigon since I dont remember keeping skulls on purpose

It's just spot-the-difference, isn't it?

Some of them false-negative you. Or they don't register click inputs. Swear to god.

It was Trigon yeah, but he's been cooped up in Ra's basement so he might have missed that fight. Need to make sure he gets a copy of us ripping his God a New One.

Trigon's been dead for 16 years at this point, so I imagine he learned of his patron's demise at some point...or maybe not actually.
I imagine Trigon rarely went out of his way to interact with his mortal worshippers directly, so between that and "Earth" not being incorporated into the PTO until recently, he might actually still be waiting for a call that will never come.
