Quintus leaped after them and pulled out a Hand and a half sword almost as tall as him and held it by the blade. "Here comes the Pitch that wins it for Chicago!" He shouted as he knocked the two to Kirito who quickly finished them off.<br/><br/>"Whew! That was a fun tutorial encounter. Now we gotta see where the action takes place now.<br/><br/>"Right!" Quintus stated as he checked his objectives, "It says we have to stop Zod's plan to convert earth to Krypton. Let's go!"<br/><br/>"Yeah! Let's kick Zod's butt!" Lisbeth shouted as the group began to fly off.<br/><br/>"This could get ugly..." is all Yui had to say.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>The group cheered at the Phantom Zone and their objectives directed them to General Zod, defeated as Superman approached him. He was looking down holding dust.<br/><br/>"Look at this. We could have built a new Krypton in this squalor, but you chose the humans over us." Zod Looked up "You should know...that I LIVE for my people...they are the sole reason for my existence. And every action I take, no matter how cruel...or coldhearted....is out of love for them." "And NOW THANKS TO YOU! I HAVE NO PEOPLE!!" Zod screamed as he stood up. "I'm going to make the people of this world suffer, Kal. These inferior humans you've adopted! I'll make you watch as I kill them one by one!"<br/><br/>"Wow, Zod probably didn't like us foiling his plans." Leafa said as she scratched her head.<br/><br/>"No kidding." Asuna said.<br/><br/>"Alright everyone! Gather around we gotta help Superman! Now we should all do this as a team so-" Kirito said, attempting to get everyone in on strategizing, but Quintus had other plans.<br/><br/>"Feel the Wrath of a Hero!!!!" He shouted as he charged but was swatted by Zod as he flew through several ruined buildings. Superman tightened his fists as Zod glared at him.<br/><br/>"I was BRED to be a warrior, Kal! I trained my whole life for combat! Where did YOu train? ON A FARM!?" He shouted.<br/><br/>Kirito sweat dropped at the scene.<br/><br/>"Wow, what a noob." Klein commented.<br/><br/>"Yeah... so we don't do what Quintus did and use all our abilities to help Superman beat him!" Kirito shouted. "Ready?"<br/><br/>"Ready!" The group shouted together as the went as one to aid Superman.<br/><br/>And what a battle it was, they used all their abilities to help Superman push the General and beat him to submission in a train station.<br/><br/>But Zod wasn't done yet as he used his Laser vision to try and attack a family. Superman put the General in a headlock, begging him to stop.<br/><br/>The General only yelled out a stubborn "No! I will never stop!" This forced Superman to snap Zod's neck, killing him instantly and saving the family. But at what cost?<br/><br/>He fell to his knees and lamented. Kirito, almost looking slightly horrified at what just happened, stopped and thought about it, recalling how he felt in his Adventure in GGO, when he too, took a life.<br/><br/>He went over and patted his shoulder. "Well... um, I'm not the best at comforting but, If he continued, he'd have probably killed more and more people.... but it's still never easy. The guilt of taking a life never washes away.." Kirito trailed off as he recalled them.<br/><br/>"But hey, it's not like Zod was the only Kryptonian, right? There's a lot of us here, mostly in hiding." He said. "We just... took care of a bad apple." Kirito then backed off a bit, as Superman stood up and gave Kirito an understanding smile.<br/><br/>"Thanks for your help." He said. "Maybe with little more practice, we all will become something great, just like my father wanted us to be."<br/><br/>"Well, it was nothing sir." Lisbeth said.<br/><br/>"Well, I'd say a job well done eh?" Quintus asked. "Who's up for a celebration?" Nearly the whole group raised their hands.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Quest: A Bridge between Worlds: Complete!</span></span>
