[no Catbites]
Previously, a group of Legionnaires came to the Myrmidons for help gathering the essence of OG Supergirl from four locations in order to save Hunter’s sisters in the future. The teams split.
Now, Achilles, Orichalcum, Reflecti-Kid, Quatro Lad, Katrina, and Hunter head to the Fortress of Solitude via the Myrmidons’ invisible jet. Katrina is holding the rod used to gather the essence, but the atmospherium in it starts absorbing her own essence, so she passes it to Reflecti-Kid. Upon arriving, it starts to vibrate.
Reflecti-Kid uses their mirrors to help keep Achilles and Hunter warm since they don’t have protection from the cold. Hunter scans inside the Fortress and sees robots inside. But she also hears someone approaching through the snow outside. A large group of black-clad ninjas from the League of Assassins attack the group. The group easily takes them down, but their bodies dissipate along with their swords.
We discover the Fortress door open and the robots destroyed by ninja swords. Reflecti-Kid, Katrina, and Orichalcum follow the rod outside, while Achilles, Quatro, and Hunter head inside to find the intruders. More robots have been destroyed inside, and the group come across Black Diamond, Vandal Savage, and an Indian version of Ra’s al Ghul. The other group comes across an image of Superman praying that Kat identifies as a time displacement illusion due to the thinning of the barrier. As Reflecti-Kid sets up the rod at that spot, Grandfather attacks them and Kat, thinking they’re enemies that Orichalcum has brought to him, while more ninjas attack Reflecti-Kid.
Achilles and Hunter go after Vandal, while Quatro breaks a couple of Ra’s al Ghul’s ribs. Ra’s makes a note to remember the Quatro race. Achilles almost runs through Vandal, but Black Diamond interposes himself and takes the blow, fatally wounded. Vandal wounds Achilles with the Stygian Dagger that he got from Patroclus. Hunter takes Vandal to his knees. Vandal notices the bat symbol on Hunter’s costume and says he’ll remember that.
Kat hits Grandfather with so much energy that he begins to melt. Orichalcum is unable to convince him that her comrades are friends, so he keeps attacking. She grabs him and takes him high into the air. Meanwhile, Quatro wounds Ra’s and forces him to flee by hitting his wristband and swearing at “the time lord.” Meanwhile, Achilles strikes at Vandal again, who also decides to flee with his own wristband. But Achilles strikes at the band to stop him. Black Diamond gives a last gasp to intervene again, but Achilles severs his hand and still manages to damage the wristband. A blast of energy from the broken wristband bursts out and affects Quatro and Hunter’s wristbands. Vandal flees on foot, but Quatro catches up and takes him down. Meanwhile Kat takes out the remaining ninjas.
Hunter binds Black Diamond’s wounds as best he’s able with primitive technology. The image Reflecti-Kid is watching reveals it’s Superman mourning a dead Supergirl. Reflecti-Kid finishes collecting the essence in their rod. The groups reunite, and Orichalcum questions Grandfather, who says Indian Ra’s came and said that the group was trying to steal from Superman.
Superman himself arrives, and Achilles explains what happens. Superman takes Black Diamond to a bio-bed to heal him. Meanwhile, Kat fixes Hunter and Quatro’s wristbands and examines Vandal’s, which turns out to be powered by magic and was probably created by Mordru. She concludes Mordru has sent his own agents to the past. Superman promises to return Grandfather and Black Diamond to the Embassy once he’s healed. Achilles takes the Stygian Dagger from Vandal.
The group crushes the gem that Dynasty created to send them to the anti-matter universe. They step through, leaving the invisible jet with Superman. They arrive in a barren universe with wonky physics and a rocky planetoid. The rod leads them toward the planetoid, where there’s a stone fortress that was the site of a battle. There they see about 20 Weaponers of Qward.
