(Chapter four: "The gathering")

    "We're gonna need a bigger building knowing this could happen." Flash said in a sarcastic tone.
    It was very awkward and felt so different between everybody that the people beside them were from different worlds.  Superman and Raiden went alone to discuss things, Cyborg Jax and Kano were having a group conversation about the technological surgery they had and they constantly laughed at how many times Cyborg knocked Kano on his ass by accident.  He explained that his functions had an automatic defense mechanism if he felt threatened his body controlled him.  He'd fired at Superman once and got put through a wall.  Johnny Cage, Sonya, and their daughter Cassie were planning out architect strategies with Bruce Wayne.  Johnny took back what he joked about calling Batman a worthless competitor because he'd no powers. But when he learned about Batman defeating Superman and how many uncountable criminals he imprisoned, Johnny apologized.  Scorpion and Subzero were in a separate room with Green Lantern and Night Wing.  They were holding a brawl practice together training in teams so they'd be ready for the god.  Flash and Aquaman didn't feel easy about the idea of a war against zombified warriors but they had to be prepared.
    "You hit me one more time I'll turn you into spare parts." Kano laughed.
    Cyborg also chuckled.  Apparently his systems were getting used to the energy of Kano.  Cyborg could scan his life force, electrical currents and discovered that Kano was 40% steel.

    Raiden and Superman sat in a mountainside with Supergirl keeping open ears in case a fight brewed.  Her job was to somehow stop them if anything happened.
    "What are your tournaments? some sort of game of skill or-?" Superman was trying to get an idea about the lifestyle of the other world.
    "The tournaments aren't a game Superman they're life or death.  Too many good warriors I once knew died in these and if you didn't participate you were killed unjustly." Raiden fixed his gaze over the tiny world with a sympathetic look.
    "Why are they held what's so sacred about them?" Superman pressed on.
    Raiden slowly paced as he spoke.  "Nobody knows really.  The reason behind them from how I get it is to see who you are, what you're made of and if you're good enough to stand your ground.  On the other hand Scorpion sees it as murder.  He joined to kill Subzero.  Both belong to a separate clan which had bad blood and were consistently at war.  But over time they learned that one day they'll be a team and would need each other."
    Supergirl joined in.  "He's that chain guy in gold right?"
    Raiden nodded and noticed their uniforms matched.
    "A couple I suppose or nearly some kind of relation? I've never seen you before lad." Raiden studied Supergirl who laughed glancing at her cousin.
    "We're cousins and I'm older." She answered politely.
    Raiden chuckled with an apology.
    Older? How is that possible? What are they? Were they from here as well? Raidens thoughts were interrupted by Superman who seemed to read his mind.
    "We came from a separate planet from earth, ours had been destroyed and with it the rest of our kind.  There were three of us left until I took the life of a friend who corrupted himself upon arrival by the name of Zod.  We're not human but you could say humans believe her and I are gods because of our nature being immune to pain." Superman stared into the sky.  A look of defense spread quickly across his face.  Raiden and Supergirl seen what he'd seen.  A woman was coming straight to earth and a loud sonic boom was heard as she was headed toward the ground.  Superman took flight at a high speed and was immediately followed by Kara and Raiden who had no trouble keeping up.  When they arrived Superman and the mysterious blonde woman were staring each other down.  There was a crater created after she landed explosively and by the battle uniform Raiden had noted was similar to Superman and Supergirl.  Raiden didn't say a word everything was eerily quiet except the sound of the wind howling.  Fists were clenched between Clark and the woman.  Confusion hit homerun in Kara and Clarks' mind.  This is impossible, there is no other survivor from my planet except Kara! Superman thought to himself.  One thing was certain hell was about to break loose if one movement was made.
