Alexandra Potter shook the cobwebs loose from her mind. She had to do so rather quickly, as these monsters marched upon her.

"Kara?"

Kara could feel the yellow sunlight healing her body and not a moment too soon. She dodged the tentacles of a creature who had tried to ensnare her.

"Okay, unless you want to become an extra out of a hentai, we better get these things back into the Phantom Zone," Alex said, sending a slicing spell at the slimy creature's arms. Unfortunately, true to form, his arms healed back. The redhead female could feel a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach and she jumped up and over its head.

BOOM!

Large creature made of rocks began to hurl them at the two girls. Alex's sinking feeling in her stomach sunk even lower. The redhead closed her eyes tightly and fired, causing the rocks to fire.

"We have to kill them, because opening up a Phantom Zone portal will be too dangerous," Alex said, and she did not feel much sympathy for these creatures. Given the fact that they were in the Phantom Zone for a reason, she wasn't going to hold back.

"Good, I don't have to hold back," Kara said, flying up in closer proximity to the sun and the energy surrounded her body.

The blonde put her hands together and rocked the top of her enemy's head with a huge double axe handle type blow. It rocked the enemy, causing him to crumble to dust.

The blonde froze the dust particles and dodged the acid spit of another creature. It looked to be an insect of some sort. Maybe something else because it had more legs and eyes than should have been allowed by law.

It shot some kind of sticky fluid at Kara.

"I really hope that's not some kind of mating thing," Kara said, shuddering with a grimace.

Alex cringed, she needed brain bleach. There was some kind of armor around this creature, which repelled even her strongest of spells. The redhead put up more barriers, having the two remaining creatures stay in here, until she and Kara could find a way to herd them out of there.

Something that she reminded herself was easier said than done. The redhead ducked her head, using the same skills that allowed her to dodge bludgers. The pillars were taken out and Alex tied the creature's tentacles around the pillar.

She knocked the pillars of this particular chamber over and caused the temple to land on the creature, crushing it underneath the sheer force of it.

"Two down," Alex said, letting a long and poignant sigh out of her body. She could see the toughest and dare she say it, nastiest, creature on its way.

"It looks like it wants to molest us, then have us for dinner," Kara said and Alex closed her eyes. The blonde used her ice breath in an attempt to stall the creature. "Too much information?"

"Way too much," Alex confirmed, her chest rose and fell, the redhead closing her eyes tightly. She sent an overarching blast of magic underneath its fleshy underside and caused it to stop.

Stop for the briefest moment that was and it broke through the ice, returning fire. Alex now was trying to take a look at its fleshy underside, if she had figured out what she was going to do, the redhead was in good shape.

The green eyed wizard launched herself up into the air, and conjured three iron spears. With a full blunt force, she busted the insect like creature apart.

Blood and insect guts covered both Kara and Alex. Both girls were not weirded out by this like most girls were but at the same time, it was not fun.

Not fun at all, Alex dropped down to one knee, the breath knocked out of her body. She got back up and assessed the situation.

"So I broke the spell but Isobel was still lingering in the Phantom Zone….." Alex concluded and the redhead sighed. Her hands flew down and landed on the side of her hips. "And that witch, she has a head start."

"I know, it seems dire," Kara agreed, placing her hand on Alex's. "We're going to find her."

Kara decided to pause, allowing Alex to clean them up. A good thing because neither girl wanted to be dripping with anything that came out of the Phantom Zone.

"So back to the castle?"

"Not necessarily," Alex said and she got down onto the ground. They were outside of the pull of the temple now and the three monsters were slain. "That's the only stone that's safe from her."

Alex sat down and concentrated, if she could lock onto Isobel, then she could find her. The witch made a huge mistake when she tried to possess her. That always leaves a faint imprint behind that she could latch onto and track.

All it took was the proper amount of focus.

"I've got here, she's heading to China, that's where the final stone is."

Alex and Kara had no time to waste. They had the first stone secure, she stole the second, and now it was a race for the third stone.

This was not the body that Isobel wanted for sure but never the less, this was going to have to be the body that she was going to take. She thought about finishing her blood feud but the stones were alluring and the power of them would be the perfect bait to draw the Teagues out in the open.

She shifted, this body was a bit different than most but she would not be wearing the face of a hideous beast as she escaped that Phantom Zone. Even though her plan to possess her descendent went completely off of the rails, any woman of her status would have a backup plan or two.

The temple was right in her cross hairs and the woman stood on the outset of it. She knew that there would be traps and tricks to get in.

It was hard to blend in right now, which is why she had to wait for nightfall. Eyes glowed as she could see the pair of guards outside of the temple.

Once she had the power of the stones, she would banish those creatures that kept her descendent and her mate occupied. The third stone was not in her crosshairs but she might have to tear down the castle walls of Peve-Rell to get them.

That woman warned her the end of the power of the stones would bring her, being burned at the stake, but naturally, Isobel refused to listen. It was putting her trust in the wrong person.

Manipulating Raya's body, she aimed her eyes, focusing a beam of heat vision. It was far weaker than she thought it might be. Her possession had eliminated the ability to focus energy proper and channel yellow solar radiation into power. That was a most frustrating thing but something that she would have to learn to work around.

The men went off and she cracked the temple doors open. Isobel stopped and she could feel the radiating power.

"You know, going for the stone right now, you really don't know what you're getting yourself into."

Alex stood at the end of the hallway, having already beaten her to the temple. Slowly, Isobel lifted her hands of her possessed body and clapped at her.

"Alexandra, I know you've descended from my bloodline, because only you would have found this place, so well done," Isobel said, continuing her slow clap and Alex stared her down, the smile burning over her lips.

"Condescending much?"

"I was offering you a complement my dear," Isobel said and she looked at her. "Where's your other half? Or did you leave her to deal with the monsters? Come to think of it, she might be more of your underling then your equal."

"Kara's around, you don't need to worry about her," Alex said, standing off with Isobel, going face to face. "You took that body, it does have power. But the question is, can you control it?"

"Let's….." Isobel said and she used Raya's body to move forward at super speed. She grabbed Alex around the throat and slammed her against the wall. "Find out."

She did have the same super powered Kryptonian strength but Alex released an electric pulse that knocked Isobel back halfway across the temple.

"Oh, you're very clever," Isobel whispered as she went for Alex, who dodged another attack. Another back spin, another punch, another doge.

"Clever enough to outwit the likes of you, yes," Alex said, trying to bait Isobel into doing something that she might end up regretting.

Her super powered punch swung forward but Alex caught the hand, twisted it around and kicked Isobel in the back of the head.

She bounced back, landing rather gracefully, as they continued to fight in the temple.

"You think that you're really clever, don't you?" Isobel asked her again.

"Yes, we just established that, are we stuck in a loop?" Alex asked, ramming her hand down onto the floor and causing it to crumble underneath her. Both of them landed hard in another level.

Isobel's greed was something that could not be denied, the stone was here. She reached towards the clasp of the temple and slowly opened up the door to grab the stone.

Alex let her open the door, knowing what happened next.

Glowing green rocks caused Isobel to back up and Alex picked one off of the shelf.

"Raya, sorry about this," Alex said, as she smashed the green rock into the face of Isobel's vessel. She backed the woman off. Another set of punches backed her off nicely and the green eyed wizard curled her fist around the rock.

Isobel dropped down to one knee and kicked in the side.

"I thought…..I had powers….."

"With power, there comes weakness," Alex said, binding her body and Kara dropped up, a spell shielding her from the green rocks. She held a silver crystal in her hand. "Have fun plotting your next scheme in the Phantom Zone."

Isobel screamed as she was banished, the witch could not believe it, she had been duped.

The stone she had dropped to the ground and Alex caught it. Then she summoned the other stone.

"Get Raya to the castle and have Peve look over her injuries," Alex said, only a slight hint of a sheepish grin on her face. She might have knocked her around a bit more but that was to weaken Isobel for the kill.

"Right," Kara said, scooping up Raya and zooming her off. Alex was close behind and she had two stones, and the third was at the castle.

Perhaps it was how strange Alex felt, but there was always that moment of weirdness that she felt when they actually got through the situation at hand. And this time, she actually came out ahead and won. There were times where she won a battle but the war was an entirely different thing. The redhead, green eyed witch tapped her finger on the side of her face, seeing the third and second stone in her mouth.

"That was interesting," Kara said and truer words could not have been said. The three stones were in their hands, all they needed to do is take advantage of the knowledge that they had.

That was one adventure and Alex knew that there was many more to come. There was a sense of accomplishment going through her mind and it really fell good.

"Raya is going to make a recovery even if you walloped her with the Kryptonite," Kara said, barely able to keep the amused expression on her face.

Alex had one question. "Kryptonite?"

"Meteor rocks from Krypton, Kryptonite, makes sense, makes true sense, doesn't it?" Kara asked and Alex was not about to argue with that.

"So you've done it."

Peve said that statement with a smile on her face.

"After all of the times you passed a test, you've done it," Peve said, the smile on her face something that caused Alex to gain more confidence.

"I feel like I'm at the end of one road and the beginning of another road," Alex said, stones two and three were in her hand.

"Are we really going to do this?" Kara asked, and she thought about it. There was anxiety about what the stones would bring and also, promise, loads of promise. The blonde crossed her arms together and her lips curled into a smile.

"Yes, we're going to do this, I think that we deserve this," Alex said, grabbing hands with Kara and the blonde stepped forward.

It was one of those now or never moments in life. Alex thought that she had come full circle in many ways. Sometimes a person had to hit bottom and lose everything, before they appreciated how much they gained.

"The castle will allow you to put the stones together without drawing anything down," Peve said, scanning it. "If any human blood touched the stones, it would have brought down….well it would have brought down torment."

"I figured that much," Kara agreed, but no human blood touched those stones.

"We did a scan and….."

"No Phantoms have escaped the Phantom Zone, other than the slain monsters that you released."

Kara and Alex nodded, the two girls were ready, set to go about this. The two grabbed hands together.

"So, are we ready to unleash it?" Alex asked, she could feel like everything was going pretty fast. But there was no reason to slow down.

"What's the worst that could happen?" Kara asked and Alex looked at her, in indignation. "What?"

"That's one of the things that you should never, ever say on Earth," Alex said, grabbing Kara firmly around the hand and the blonde's lips curled into a smile, a pouty look on her face.

"Sorry."

Alex just smiled in spite of herself. Despite how smart Kara was, there was a lot of things that she had yet to learn about Earth and most importantly, it was about tempting face.

She held the three stones in her hand and they began to hum loudly in they were proximity to themselves.

The blonde and the redhead looked both nervous, they really hoped that things would turn out for the best. Only one way to find out.

The stones connected together with a solid bing and blinded them with light. The two girls backed up, their breath being knocked out of their bodies.

They blinked suddenly, their mouths halfway open as they followed the crystal through the portal that opened.

This was not the first strange portal that Alex would have gone through and this would most certainly not be the last. At least she hoped that this would not be the last. Her stomach turned.

"Beautiful," Kara whispered and there was something to be seen about the crystal Fortress that was forming in the beautiful snow where they stood.

The Fortress rested in the snow and their hearts skipped a beat as the two of them walked forward.

This was an adventure getting to this point and maybe someday they wanted to hope for another. However, this was an end and it was time to rest.

The two stepped forward into the brave new world, into the shining like. The Death Angel smiled brightly as Kara put her arm around her.

This was just one step that the two of them could have that would build the future together.

The two girls entered their Fortress to explore it and the knowledge that was within. The future was here.

The End.
