RIP Kenpachiro Satsuma



The first thing Kara saw when she woke up was the Sun. She lifted her head up and saw that she was on the roof. A large roof at that. And that she was wearing her suit. She looked to the side of the roof and saw that masked man with horns sitting down not too far away, holding a paper. It was a newspaper, the front of it read, "Union City turned into a Sea of Fire by Male Godzilla Kaiju!"

"Who are you?" she said in a demanding tone. The Bull Faunus lowered his newspaper and glanced at her direction.

"Someone who doesn't want to hurt you." The Bull Faunus replied. "My name is Adam Taurus."

"Adam Taurus," she repeated. "My name is Kara, daughter of Zor-El." Suddenly over a dozen different kind of noises hit her ears and she could see Adam's bones as if his skin and flesh was made of see through glass. She held her head and grimaced in pain.

"Are you okay?" he asked in concern. "Is it always this loud?" she asked in response. Adam blinked under his mask and seemed to repeat what she just said silently to himself before realization seemed to hit him. 

"Your heightened senses." he stated. Of course. The Imperial had recorded that in their files about her. "Kara, focus." he said to her. "Focus. Focus. Breathe."

Kara took deep breaths with her eyes closed. Soon all the noises faded away. When she opened her eyes, she could see Adam as a normal person would. No skeleton or organs visible. She sighed in relief. "Thank you," she said to the Bull Faunus.

Adam nodded before placing the newspaper down. "Now, it's been three days I assume you have some questions," he stated as he turned back to Kara with his arms crossed.

Kara nodded. "I am grateful that you broke me out of that cage, but why do it?" she asked.

"A vast majority of the people who put you in that cage were from the Galactic Empire," Adam began. "The Empire is one that rules with an iron fist. My allies and I are rebelling against them. We need your help to create a hole in the blockade of Star Destroyers for more Rebels to come down here on Remnant. We have hijacked a Orbital Gun but its controls are damaged. We've managed to work around that but you can even the odds more."

"Why should I help you?" she asked. "How do I know that Remnant won't put me back in another cage?"

"Well for one, this planet is home to dozens of super powered beings like you," Adam said. "As long as you act like a nice person and not harm innocents, Remnant won't have a reason to cage you. I mean, you're not here to conquer Remnant, are you?"

No, she was not. She simply had the intention of finding a new home after Krypton's destruction. Preferably with her younger cousin Kal-El, but it seems that fate had separated them. She had no idea where her cousin was now but she prayed to Rao that he was safe. She looked back to Adam and nodded firmly. "I will help you."

Adam nodded. "Thank you, Kara, daughter of Zor-El." he said in a grateful tone. "Come, the others are downstairs." he waved to the door ten feet from them.

"We've managed to make some changes to the overall plan." Hera filled them all in when Adam came down from the roof with who Miko and Mikey had dubbed Supergirl. It was either that or something else that sounded childish. "The Pandora Raiders have home made tracking devices that will be picked up on the Orbital Gun's targeting system. Both Kara and the gun can cripple the blockade enough for the Rebel fleet to make it to Remnant's surface."
