Faora woke up in a strange location. This city… it was not like the location where Zod wanted to set the foundation for the new Krypton. It was ran by both people and some anthropometric animals. She had no idea where she was… but her body felt better than ever, well, at least back to its peak. She was likely launched by the distorted explosion.

Confused, she stood up and glanced around, trying to adjust to her new location. It was a bit baffling at first; but maybe it could be of some use. Zod needs a new foundation, and this place may be worthy.

She glanced at the nearest man and walked up to him, wondering if she’ll speak his language.

“Where am I?” she asked. The man stammered a bit before finally speaking up.

“This- this is Red South City.” He replied in worry. The Kryptonian turned and walked around, looking at the many shocked faces. She decided to check it out. This new world must be ripened. After a quick set up, she ran and hopped, the sheer force leaving a crater on the ground.

-A few miles away, empty field-

18 sighed as she watched Krillin fly off.

“Sheesh, we can’t even enjoy a family outing without something going wrong.” She said to herself. Turns out, a distortion in space-time caused Krillin to be summoned by Dende so they could investigate. The android simply picked up her sandwich and took a bite, keeping her head on her hand.

“Well, now what am I going to do?” she wondered. That’s when she heard the sound of an implosion and felt the shockwave. Curious, she turned around and saw a grayish blur in the air land before her. It was a rather beautiful woman in armor, around her height, if not a bit taller by an inch or two.

“Well, this is a surprise. You must be the houseguest that interrupted my picnic.” 18 scoffed. The woman; Faora glanced at her and smirked.

“Forgive me then. I’m just searching for a worthy location for my leading commander.” She stated. 18 folded her arms.

“I’ve seen this more than enough times. You want to destroy the planet. Sorry honey. But I’m not going to let that happen.” 18 mocked. To show her point, she crossed her arms across her face then slammed them to each side. With a yell; an aura shrouded her. Faora just smirked.

Looks like Zod will have to wait for a bit.

“A good death is its own reward. Allow me to grant it to you.” She mocked. 18 just glanced back at her.

“Yeah. For you.”

FIGHT

18 charged forth in a hop, throwing a powerful kick. Faora easily foresaw the attack and crouched, glancing up to watch the leg go over her head. In a quick move; Faora gabbed 18’s leg and slammed her against the ground without pause.

To further add insult to injury, the Kryptonian lifted her foot and stomped it on 18’s back. The Android hissed in pain and turned, firing a single shot of ki from her palm.

The blast hit Faora dead-on, staggering her in shock. The Android quickly followed up by pulling her leg back and launched it against the woman’s gut, sending her across the clearing. As Faora flew, she turned and held one hand out. The dirt began to raise around her as she used her feet and hand as stoppers. Glancing up, she was greeted with 18 kicking her across the face with enough force to launch her across the clearing again.

The Android wasn’t done yet. She hopped at the woman and began firing a barrage of ki blasts at her. Faora noticed the barrage and tried to find a way to land and evade. The second she hit the ground; she began to roll, each ki blast making an explosion skyrocket into the air. The kinetic force nearly sent her flying with each one.

Standing up; Faora was barely given time to recover. 18 nearly hit her dead-on with a straight punch. Impressed at how well her blonde foe was doing; Faora grabbed 18’s arm and pulled her over. The Kryptonian held her head back than struck directly into 18’s face, the resulting concussion was minor but noticeable. Remembering her training; Faora struck 18 across the face with enough force to create a sonic boom. The second one launched the Android into the sky.

Without hesitation; Faora hopped into the air and grabbed 18 by her waist and allowed gravity to do the work. From a good forty meters up, she performed a piledriver that resulted in an impact that resembled the impact of the Davy Crockett. A small yet visible crater surrounded by the vegetation. Faora still her arms round 18’s waist, sitting on the Android’s hands in an attempt to crush them during the impact, and dirt coated the Android’s jacket and shirt.

Confident in her victory; Faora stood and began to walk away, hearing the crumbling dirt from 18’s impact. That was when she heard a faint cough and turned.

“Not bad. Any higher and that piece of plastic covering your body may have hurt.” Mocked the Android as she stood, dusting herself off. Faora simply smirked and watched as her foe put on a pair of fingerless gloves. In an instinct, ki coated her fists.

“Now, its MY turn.”

With that, 18 seemed to vanish from view. Faora simply ducked below an oncoming jab and tried to strike her opponent. 18 vanished the second she did. Baffled; Faora was met with a ki-charged punch launching her into the sky. But 18 wasn’t done just yet.

Following her foe; the Android unleashed an endless array of punches against the Kryptonian’s chest and stomach, each punch launching her higher and higher. During this, 18 continued to yell, allowing her force to increase by a good 20%.

After a good 40- maybe 50 jabs; 18 grabbed the Kryptonian’s foot and swung her like one would a weight. With a single yell; she launched the now injured Kryptonian back into Red South City. She wasn’t finished there either.

With a vanishing air-dash; 18 intercepted Faora and kicked her in the chin, adding to the momentum. The Kryptonian crashed directly through an office building and as she tried to adjust, she was hit by the Android’s knee and sent into the air, right through an airplane. 18 wasn’t finished yet either. She hurried to the Kryptonian and struck her side with a hip-strike and again with a jab to the face.

Faora could barely even keep up with her enemy anymore. Not even Kal-El was this good. As she tried to adjust, she was met with a powerful punch to the face and sent crashing into a Wendys® restaurant.

To make sure her foe was done for; 18 placed her palms together and yelled, firing a blast of yellow ki into the restaurant and destroying a good two and a half kilometers of the city. 18 caught her breath and decided to levitate down, holding a ball of yellow ki in her right hand just for safety. When she landed, she noticed the heavily damaged suit of Faora; the Kryptonian trying to stand. She was clearly in pain.

With a smirk one’d expect a psychopath to have; 18 tossed the ki at the Kryptonian, shattering her mask. Faora yelled in pain and fell over, slowly becoming overwhelmed by the sheer amount of senses entering her system.

“Whatsgoingon?”

“Helpmemychildisn’tbreathing!”

“ThisisToriyamaAirlineswelostaltitudewe’regoingdown!”

“Thisjustimwesawchaosagaininthrskiesaswhatappearstobetwowomen-!”

Those were just SOME of the thousands of people screaming in terror. Faora couldn’t handle it. The exposure to yellow sun radiation wasn’t helping at all either.

With what felt like a sledgehammer to her temple; Faora was knocked into the air than slammed against the ground. Her head was pounding, she could see 18’s insides, the insides of the building she crashed through, of people, corpses and through entire sewerlines.

She couldn’t adjust, couldn’t understand what was going on.

“What was that you told me? ‘A good death is its own reward’ was it?”

Faora felt the Android climb on top of her, aiming to make her suffer more. The Android jammed both hands into the suit and began to open it in the matter one would part a curtain. Faora could only scream in pain. As if millions of sharks were biting onto her at once. 18 continued by grabbing the woman by her hair and punching her back against the ground, causing a shockwave from the impact.

She decided to go again. Each punch adding just a little more weight to it. Faora could feel herself blacking out, her senses overloading… and slowly… just slowly… They began to settle. And she felt something ringing in her eyes. It felt like a powerful energy that she just needed to expel unless she wanted to end up a mess on the dirt.

With a yell; Faora opened her eyes and faced 18. Twin blasts of powerful energy burnt through 18’s collarbone, forcing her to jump off at least a good fourteen meters after a few seconds of intense pain.

Holding her neck in pain; feeling the two new drilled holes, 18 glanced at her enemy as she staggered onto her feet. Faora caught her breath and slowly glanced at her.

“Thank you.” She hissed. As her pupils began to glow bright red; 18 took a step forward and crossed her arms. Faora responded with a victorious roar and fired the heat vision directly at the Android. The range of the heat vision easily exceeded the height of a skyscraper and the width reaching half of a city block. When Faora stopped the blast she could see 18 had somehow set up a red barrier around herself. All that existed behind her was rubble, a few charred corpses, and destroyed buildings. Not even a single piece of vegetation was sighted.

“Okay, guess I should’ve killed you when I had the chance.” 18 scoffed, letting down her barrier. Faora simply took a single step towards her. The Android got into a combat stance and watched as the sound barrier formed around Faora’s being. 18 prepared for the inevitable clash.

vrrrm vrrrrrm

KROOM!!

With a single bound; Faora broke through the sound barrier and tackled 18 across the air. The Kryptonian held onto 18’s waist and the two crashed directly into the dirt, causing a crater on impact. Faora sat on top of her foe and began to throw jabs at the Android. 18 was easily capable of blocking with both arms than kicked her foe into the air. She slowly sat up and vanished from view. However… These beams of heat wasn’t the ONLY upgrade Faora gained.

The Kryptonian turned and threw a powerful jab, the fist connecting with 18’s leg with enough force to cause another sonic boom. This one shattered the windows in a four mile radius. With an enraged glare; 18 turned back and vanished. Her speed may have outshined Faora. Especially since she was flying… but Faora had a secret weapon. Her ears were at full capacity, if not more.

The Kryptonian easily blocked and countered every attack 18 attempted to land. From each direction from north to east. To Faora, it was second nature. On the seventh attempt; she prepared to catch another strike but was met with a head-butt instead. The force easily sent the Kryptonian into a construction site just half a mile away.

Slightly dazed; Faora watched as 18 tossed a seemingly endless barrage of ki blasts at her. The Kryptonian sneered and easily countered the onslaught with one heat vision shot per blast.

“Enough! Are you afraid to challenge me now!?” Faora roared. She got her answer in the form of a kick to the face. 18 took advantage of this by grabbing her foe’s cape and soaring into the air. Without putting any sort of strain; she tossed Faora across the air… and into an abandoned wrestling stadium… and into a mud pit.

Confused at the substance sticking to her uniform; Faora didn’t get the time to adjust as 18 slammed her into it. She attempted to suffocate the Kryptonian but was instead met with another heat vision to the face.

“Damn you!”

As 18 pulled back; Faora grabbed her shoulder and tugged, slamming her next to her. The Kryptonian climbed on top and grabbed onto 18’s hair and lifted her… then proceeded to slam her against the cement floor multiple times. 18 responded with a blast of yellow ki to the side of her foe’s face, knocking her into the audience seats. The Android spat out the mud and removed her trademark jacket in anger.

“Just great. Now I need to go shopping after this.”

Faora didn’t even let her finish undoing the other sleeve. She had already lifted an entire bench and threw it at the Android. 18 could dodge with ease but was met with a powerful kick to the face as a result; as if payback for earlier. With rage in her eyes; Faora grabbed onto 18’s arm and tugged it out and quickly placed her knee just under the elbow. When 18 adjusted, she could only look in horror as Faora slammed her own elbow down onto the top.

The scream could be heard around the world…

As 18 held onto the now broken arm, she turned to see Faora towering over her. The Kryptonian smirked.

“I see cybernetic parts. Tell me. Will you run even faster in the upper atmosphere?” she asked. 18 tried to fly off but Faora simply grabbed her foot and pulled her into a powerful punch at the back of the head. The force caused the entire stadium to collapse around them. As Faora felt contempt with her victory, she picked up the Android and tossed her into the air, aiming to have her freeze in space.

“Dammit… I have one attempt left… Come on honey, lets see if you taught me ANYTHING helpful from being soft.” She thought.

As she tried to slow her ascension, the woman forced her ki to be like weight and held a small ball of ki that formed in her palm.

Faora walked across the empty land, smiling.

“If I get in contact with Zod, I can get started with turning this to Krypton for him. If he kills Kal-El, then it makes our job even easier.”

Something just kept bugging her however. The sound of buzzing that slowly grew louder. Out of curiosity, Faora looked up and saw what appeared to be a buzz-saw heading her way.

“Still alive? No matter.” Faora stated. As she prepared to use heat vision; 18 appeared before her and grabbed her face with her last good arm.

“A good death is its own reward huh!? Then lets go out together!!” screamed the Android. Faora’s heat vision was slowly burning through the fingers as she herself tried to push the Android. But it was too late.

The trump card: the Distructo Disc had already ripped through 18’s arm and hand, and rammed into Faora’s skull.

Faora screamed in pain but it was quickly silenced when the spinning buzzsaw of ki shredded her brain. It slowly pierced through her impervious makeup and cut through the bone, ripping and tearing from the spinal column to the ribs, the organs, and finally the remainder of the cape.

The ally to Zod was dead through bifurcation and it showed. She fell over, completely in half. Alongside her was 18’s arm. The Android held the now partially destroyed arm bone and yelled in pain, trying to keep the blood in. It was her victory. But at a cost.

K-O

Wendy: “Oh boy. We’re going to be accused of weeabos or complainers of Superman’s victory are we?”

Hakuboshi: “Lets hope not. It was actually one of the toughest matches this season, and these two went back and forth. While its true Faora would overwhelm 18 as the fight went on, there were plenty of holes.”

Wendy: “For one, as Zod shown; it took him a while to adjust to his newfound abilities. Even then, while he was stronger than Kal and would’ve won eventually, he didn’t have a full grasp on the abilities and couldn’t experiment with them. The same would be true for Faora.”

Hakuboshi: “Also, unlike Faora, who was only in one high-speed battle; 18 was pretty much bred for combat, in her very first outing she easily ripped Vegeta a new one without even trying.”

Wendy: “It also helped that she regularly trains in such high speeds with her husband, who is the strongest HUMAN in the Dragonball Franchise, so she would be more experienced. Also, shes just as ruthless as Faora and possibly faster.”

Hakuboshi: “And remember, Man of Steel isn’t like the comics. As such; even Kal didn’t show off feats the original Superman can do, as such, the same can be said for Faora and Zod.”

Wendy: “Looks like poor sexy Faora just didn’t make the cut.”

Hakuboshi: “The winner is Android 18.”
