Reincarnated as Supergirl (YJ / Kara Zor-El (Comics))

Chapter 38 - Interlude 6

A/N: Some people didn't really like this one because of who it's focused on, but I'm posting it anyway.

My goal was to show that there are things happening in the world that have nothing to do with Kara, but that her actions have already caused changes in the canon of the YJ show.

So... while Kara isn't directly involved in much of the show's canon at this time, her presence has already caused changes that will only snowball the more time passes.

Basically, this is where the canon has started to collapse, even when Kara isn't directly destroying it.

Aquaman stopped in front of the defense line, hundreds of soldiers and at least a dozen mages doing their best to hold back the enemy's approach.

The Trench was always something that had to be watched, the animalistic inhabitants sometimes swam up towards the surface and had to be stopped or fought back.

He didn't like it, but it was necessary. The Trench, the collective name for all creatures of that inky black domain, weren't capable of reasoning and they were incredibly aggressive, attacking animals, Atlanteans and especially surface dwellers as soon as they saw them.

Still, it wasn't a hard thing to keep them back... usually. The Trench normally came out alone or in small groups and were easily repelled. Not this time.

A huge group swam out of the Trench, acting almost like a panicked shoal and the mages, protected by the soldiers, started casting spells, blasting the enemy with a wave of water that dispersed the shoal.

Usually, the Trench would retreat after that, instead, the lone members attacked everyone involved with an unmatched frenzy.

Clenching his teeth, Aquaman smashed into the fighters, punching one so hard it was sent flying into a couple of others before grabbing another and smashing its head, causing it to pass out.

He didn't try to kill them, but he wasn't completely avoiding it either, not if it would risk his own men.

Quickly, the Trench was defeated, but none swam back into the depths. Suddenly, Aquaman heard an impact coming from the deep, a second shoal swimming up and immediately turning to flee, spreading to all directions.

"Pressure them!" He commanded, but didn't follow himself. He was here to check what was wrong, to solve the issue, not to contain it.

He almost swam into the opening himself, but his instincts kept him back, his eyes focused on the opening for a tense minute.

Out of nowhere, an arm grabbed the edge of the opening and then a... creature pulled itself out. At first, Orin thought it was some kind of monstrous and inflated Trench, but he soon saw it was only using Trench body parts as clothes.

"Awright! The Main Man has arrived!" The man shouted, his voice traveling underwater with a shockwave. "Bastich, those fishers were fun, but killing 'em did get old."

Lobo looked around and finally saw the single man watching him, wearing a ridiculous pansy ass orange shirt. He immediately dismissed the fruitcake and started swimming to the surface.

"Lobo!" Aquaman shouted, finally recognizing his white skin and magnificent hair. "You're under arrest. Surrender now and I won't have to fight you!"

Lobo didn't even spare him a glance, he briefly considered killing the fragging idiot, but he had his fair share of routine slaughter with them fishers and, while he'd never be satisfied, he could prioritize.

Suddenly, Lobo got punched in the face, the impact sending him back through the water until he could stabilize himself.

"Sheesh, what wuz that? A love tap?" Lobo shook his head and lifted an eyebrow at Aquaman with disdain. "Beat it, ya chump, I'm already late to th' party as it is!"

The damn nerve of those fish people, just cuz he wuz leaving th' lot of them alive.

Suddenly, he caught sight of the pansy creep swimming towards him, faster than even Blondie had managed t' do in air.

Heh, suck's to be ye, bastich. This dude wasn't a hot blond with a nice temper so The Main Man wasn't about to hold back. Dodging the first punch by leaning his head to the side, The Main Man hit the creep with his massive fist, arresting all his momentum.

For a single second, Aquaman's eyes widened at the force of it and then he flew straight down, batted aside with so much strength he created a crater on the ocean floor before being buried six feet under the ground.

"Wuss," Lobo shook his head sadly, before turning and starting to swim back up. "I swear, some folks just ain't got enough common sense."

Behind him, the ocean floor exploded, the water being displaced faster than the speed of sound as Aquaman slammed into him, punching him three times in the kidney.

Lobo tried to elbow him, but the King ducked the blow and delivered an uppercut that sent one of his teeth flying, knee'd him in the stomach and then delivered a hammer blow to the back of his head.

Smashing into the floor and almost causing a quake, the Main Man flipped himself and spread his arms.

"Awright, tuna-fer-brains, that was slightly better," Putting a hand on his nose, he blew a wad of blood out, watching it drifting away in the water. "Ain't Ya a member of that fragging Juiced League or sumthing? Well, pucker up, ya pansy fish smelling bastich, The Main Man's coming for ya!"

Jumping from the ground, The Main Man sent himself straight at Aquaman, but the King was far too agile a swimmer, weaving away with an almost lazy movement before punching out at Lobo's head.

Lobo caught it, pulling the Atlantean closer and head-butting him. Aquaman struggled to free himself, punching out, but Lobo caught that too and put both arms into a joint lock, straining the King's bones and causing his back to bend from pain.

Suddenly, a giant shark rammed Lobo from the side, freeing Aquaman as some of his men returned and tried to engage the Czarnian.

"No! Don't!" Aquaman shouted, having felt his enemy's strength.

It didn't help. Swinging the giant shark around, Lobo sent it flying down before backhanding an attacking soldier and breaking every bone in his body.

One of the mages tried to send a spell his way, but Lobo actually punched out the ice javelin before punching a hole through another soldier's belly, grabbing his weapon and throwing it towards the mage, sending her away with the momentum.

Ocean creatures swarmed the bounty hunter, acting under Aquaman's control and doing their best to hurt, or at least inconvenience the man. None of it was helping.

The Main Man caught a fourth Atlantean by the throat and was about to crush it when Aquaman finally got within striking distance. He had grabbed a sword from one of his fallen guards and sliced off Lobo's arm before trying to skewer his heart.

Reacting blindingly fast, Lobo twisted away, leaving the sword buried in his chest and kneeing Aquaman in the side, grabbing his arm as he started to fly away and using his body as a shield to block a few shots from the remaining soldiers.

Aquaman screamed in pain, the hit from the weapons damaging his armor, but he recovered fast, putting a shoulder against Lobo's chest and swimming towards the wall, attempting to smash the Czarnian as hard as he could.

Unfortunately, even with one arm, Lobo was a better grappler than the King and managed to swing him around. Aquaman wasn't able to stop his momentum in time, hitting the underwater mountain face first and losing his concentration, and his hold on Lobo.

Grabbing the fragging Fishdude by the back of the head, the Main Man smashed his face against the rock repeatedly until he felt the bastich starting to lose strength. Releasing his head, Lobo let him start to float down a bit before grabbing him by the left arm and keeping the hero between him and the rest of the soldiers.

"Y'know, I'm starting t' think yer underestimating me. Was it cuz I waz playing with Blondie earlier?" The Main Man shook the King by his arm, causing the rest of the soldiers to pause. "What's wrong? Cat got yer tongue? Ya did know I gave her, like, a dozen free shots?"

Looking down at his already regenerating arm, Lobo frowned when he noticed it was taking far too much time. How fragging annoying.

Lifting the hero up by his arm, Lobo opened his mouth wide and actually bit off Aquaman's left hand, spitting it out to the side and causing the Hero to scream out in pain. "There, new we're even. Can't say yer' got a fair fight though, need a couple dozen more people fer that."

The pain snapped Aquaman out of his daze, his handless arm slipped out from Lobo's grip and he twisted, kicking out with both feet and propelling himself away from the man, clutching his arm to his chest.

"Off!" Lobo grunted, slamming into the wall, only to be bombarded with shots and spells as every Atlantean there unloaded on him once he was no longer holding their King.

Wrapping some cloth around his stump, Aquaman shouted. "Give me a weapon!"

"My King?"

"He's not dead! Call the rest of the League!" Aquaman quickly ordered, grabbing a trident from one of his soldiers. "... You, go warn Mera, I'll hold him back."

Suddenly, a huge boulder flew from where Lobo had been, scattering the Atlanteans and almost killing two of them. A second boulder came flying right after the first one, but Aquaman smashed into it, breaking it apart with a swing of his weapon.

From the destroyed rubble, Lobo came swimming at him, the sword still sticking out of his chest as the Czarnian didn't pay it any attention. Aquaman attacked, using everything he had to try and kill the monster.

Lobo only laughed, barely dodging the tip of the trident as it left a wide scratch at his face. Aquaman was a trained warrior with years of battle experience under his belt. He was incredibly skilled with a weapon and, under water, could give Superman a challenging fight.

Lobo wasn't Superman. He was worse. Superman would only try to disable him but, with Lobo, every blow was aimed to take Aquaman's life and he fought with vastly more skill than his actions suggested. Aquaman truly believed the man had been playing around before, because now... now Aquaman had to struggle just to last a second more.

His trident bit into the man, cut gashes in his chest and, once, even his neck, but Lobo just ignored it all, taking the hits as if they didn't matter and ignoring the resulting blood loss without losing strength.

Aquaman was exhausted, he was in pain from a missing hand and, worse, he could see Lobo's missing arm was nearly regenerated. He really doubted he'd get a second free shot at cutting off a limb in this fight so that advantage was effectively gone.

The surrounding animals and soldiers were doing less than nothing to the Czarnian; Lobo just ignored them or sent a few devastating attacks their way once they got too annoying.

Suddenly, his trident pierced one of Lobo's lungs but, before he could pull back, the monster put a hand on the shaft and pushed it further inside his body. Aquaman hesitated for less than a second before releasing the weapon, but that was enough.

"Got ya," The Main Man said, grabbing Aquaman's shoulder and pulling him closer. "Ya know, I don't usually do a fella for free, but I'm thinking I'ma make an exception... ah, who'm I kidding? I do a lot of fellas fer free when they annoy me!"

Finally having regenerated his arm, Lobo pulled out the sword on his chest and slowly pointed it to Aquaman's chest, starting to press it against his armor. Before he could kill him, however, Lobo had to release the orange-boy and duck as a monstrous fish almost bit off his head, the creature also almost killed Aquaman, but it was a risk the Atlantean was willing to take to avoid losing his heart.

Lobo really didn't want to have to re-grow a body all over again.

Moving through the water, Lobo cut a shark in half and then was smacked by the tail of a giant, monstrous blue whale, getting smashed nearly half a kilometer back. Kicking against the waves, Lobo swam back, weaving between several fishes and punching the whale away while ignoring the Atlanteans shooting at him.

Just as he was about to reach the exhausted hero, he saw Aquaman swimming away, helped by a pair of Dolphins. Widening his eyes, the Main Man paused and took a moment to look around.

There were several Dolphins around him, of all sizes and shapes, all of them staring at him with judging gazes and preparing to attack him, even when they had no chance.

"Im-Fragging-possible!" Lobo released the sword and used both hands to scratch at his eyes, but the image didn't change. "Why didn't ya say ya loved them fishies too? The Main Man can't fragg a fellow man of culture!"

Pausing in his retreat, Aquaman actually did a double take, seeing Lobo actually lifting his hands up. "What?"

"Yeah, I was, like, gonna turn ya into meat, but now I kinda feel bad about the arm, bastich. I'm gonna have ta' be civil now," scratching at his beard in embarrassment, Lobo shook his head and re-started swimming for the surface. "Y'know what, cheezhead, I'm outta here!"

Wounded, still bleeding and knowing that his soldiers couldn't do much against the bounty hunter, Aquaman actually lifted a hand and ordered them to stop. He could only hope the rest of the Justice League arrived soon; otherwise, he'd be forced to watch the Czarnian leave.

Looking at his helpers, the King actually couldn't believe what had happened... did-did he just get saved because of... Dolphins?

The Main Man lowered his scope and thought about the situation, he didn't usually let targets escape after he found them, but, well, he did have a more pressing problem right now, like making sure no bastich clone was still running around, those fragging lizards could wait.

It had been easy enough to find the girlie, what with those hero simps flying in and out of the place from time to time, but he wanted to do things personally. Blondie was fun like that.

In truth, he could brew some kinda virus or sumthing to kill Blondie, and her little bro-cuz-whatever too but, after eliminating his own species, he had always found such things unsatisfying. Really, he kinda regretted killing his race with that virus, it had been far too easy. Kinda took th' fun outta the whole thing. He should have fragged them all personally, made a game of it.

Besides, the Main Man was many things, but he ain't a cockblocker. Let Blondie have her fun, heck, maybe he could get a threesome out of it?

Bastich, the last time he had been with more than one girl was when he dated Triplicate Girl when he was sent to the future, it would be a tragic fraggin' waste to turn Blondie into meat right now.

Jumping out of the building, Lobo fell heavily on the street. His 'acquired' boots managing to survive the fall, adjusting his 'new' jacket, he found the correct bar and kicked his way inside.

"Awright, ya dweebs! The Main Man is here!" he pushed some chump out of the way and dropped heavily on the bar stool, grabbing the guy behind the counter, he said. "Yo, Barkeep, get me a bottle!"
