The two combatants were so busy fighting each other that they didn't see a dark figure standing near the entrance to the ring. As she brought a hand up and uttered something in Old Archaic, the ring's sides, which each had small runes etched into them pulsed to life and a red haze misted over the area. Clark immediately stopped flying, which confused Goku for a moment until he too was brought to a knee.<br/><br/>"What-What's going on... Can't m-move..." Goku got out before he passed out, Superman soon following.<br/><br/>"Kakarot you FOOL!" Vegeta shouted as he saw the woman who had her concentration on the ring. Moments later there was nothing left of the two of them. Both the Man of Steel and Goku were no more than ashes.<br/><br/>"Well... my work here is done..." The woman said as she left the area.<br/><br/>"And mine can continue..." A male's voice answered her as they left.<br/><div><hr style="height:2px; width:100%; border:0; color: green;background:green;"/></div><br/>Shadow Link and Kallen had been following the shouts of excitement until they subsided, only to be replaced with screaming. Shadow Link smirked. "So do we follow the screaming populace or do we find something else to-fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu-well that answers my question... Hey Kallen? if I don't survive this... tell Ivan to go screw himself." he said as a large flock of literal flying eyeballs started to converge and form Vaati the f***mothering Wind Mage.<br/><br/>Shadow Link felt oddly more powerful yet more insignificant in the presence of the Wind Mage himself. "So boss... What are you doing here? I mean why did you come find me? I doubt it was to say hello and leave me be." JD asked, his head beginning to grow foggy as Vaati's mere presence made it hard to think clearly.<br/><br/>"Quite. I take it this girl... she is indeed a female, yes?"<br/><br/>"Yeah, what'sitoya?" Shadow asked snarkily. What bugged JD was that he hadn't meant to be snarky at all...<br/><br/>"Right... well, in any case, I felt you and Ivan from my abode here and thought I would offer to help you out. That is if it's not too much of a bother?" Vaati asked. He seemed amused about something, but Shadow Link's head wasn't clear enough to realize what was happening. "Not like I can say no to the Fraggin Wind Mage." he commented.<br/><br/>"You know I can hear you right?" Vaati asked, once again a slightly amused tone seeping into his words. Kallen sighed. "Am I gonna be left in the dark forever?" She asked exasperatedly. Shadow Link smiled creepily, "Kallen, Vaati the Wind Mage, Vaati, Kallen. She pilots a mech... It's like a big mobile Iron Knuckle you can operate from the inside."<br/><br/>"Impressive. Perhaps we should find a place that would sell or build one for her use..." Vaati said. JD nodded. "I agree... but where would we find a Knightmare frame around here?"<br/><br/>"There is a stadium not far from here. It is the second reason I was headed this way. Follow me." Vaati said. JD mock saluted in a very sarcastic fashion before they got to a hill overlooking a huge stadium. JD noted that there were people sitting around and some whispers of "death of gods" and "a red haze of some sort". Flying over to one of the people Shadow Link recognized-a shirtless midget with a metal arm and a blonde ponytail- Ivan bobbed up and down. "Excuse me... can you tell us what's going on?" He asked Ed in his tingling voice.<br/><div><hr style="height:2px; width:100%; border:0; color: green;background:green;"/></div><br/>Almost as soon as Asterous decided to explore, He ran into someone who DEFINITELY knew him. "Wally? Is it me or am I in a dream I never want to wake up from?" Robin, boy wonder asked as they saw each other and he ran over to Asterous. "Seriously. could this get any better?"<br/><br/>They didn't have any more time to chat because a hell of a lot of Footclan ninjas from TMNT just surrounded them like someone had planned to ambush them.<br/><br/>"You take the ones on the left I'll take the ones on the right?" Robin smirked as he grabbed something from his belt which extended to a metal staff.
