Goku chuckled at her antics, before turning to face the two remaining villains. He closed his eyes before opening them sharply, igniting his aura once more in the process. A pulsing red aura danced around his form, dancing like a flame in the wind. He slunk low, pulling his hands to one side and cupping them together. He began the legendary chant of "Kaaaaa…Meeeee…Haaaaa…Meeeee…" that had struck fear in many of his opponents from before.
A furious azure coloured ball of pure energy formed, swirling between his cupped hands. The hero from another universe then thrust both hands forward, spreading his palms apart with a roar of "HAAA!". A furious beam of blue escaped his hands and streamed towards Owlman, who stood transfixed to the spot in fear, and Ultraman who stood with a cocky smirk on his face.
It approached them, whilst evaporating everything caught in its path of destruction before it swallowed both male villains completely. Owlman screamed in pain whilst his metal armour evaporated first, followed up by his under-suit, and lastly his skin and bones. After one final pained scream he was completely vaporized leaving nothing behind, but Ultraman was lucky due to his alien heritage and the Kryptonite in his system, but his suit was completely vaporized, cape and boots included, his skin was being slowly burned by the raw energy in the beam, counteracting the effects of the Kryptonite in his system but he held up.
The wall of blue eventually died down, revealing its destructive path. A deep trench had been cut into the floor, and the far wall had not been lucky either with a gigantic gaping hole having been burned through it. Everything in its path had been erased from existence, and a mass of wires and cables hung from the roof, sparking dangerously. A few ashes lingering in the air was all that was left of Owlman, and Ultraman was leaning on one knee, breathing heavily, smoke and steam rising from his naked form.
"I think I overdone it a little bit there." commented Goku, meekly scratching his cheek with a finger. He knew the sheer destruction the Kamehameha could produce, however this time he had tried to hold back. Key word being tried, evidenced by the state the room was left in, like a hurricane had blown through.
"You think?" deadpanned Mary, having been awed and impressed at the pure power behind the beam, but also frightened 'That looked even better in person, more so than through his memories. I can't imagine what it would feel like to get hit by that' she felt grateful to have seen reason when she had, "You have to teach me that!"
Goku smirked, before addressing her "We'll see. Now what shall we do with him. He survived even though I put what felt like 20% of my power into it."
Mary looked at the martial artist with a mixture of respect and fear."That was only 20%? I really want to see your full power now."
Goku chuckled awkwardly, not having expected the praise. Pushing it aside for a moment, he closed the distance towards the heavily bruised Ultraman. The spiky haired male positioned himself above his opponent, hands down by his side once again. "This usually bites me in the back, but I am willing to give you a second chance. You can leave your life of crime and cruelty behind and start afresh like your friend did." offered the saiyan.
Ultraman merely scoffed at the offer "I'd rather die than join you and that traitor, also screw your offer, 'phoot'."
Goku looked down on his boots and noticed the crimson liquid gliding down his shoe, he sighed before turning to look at Superwoman, checking to see how she would react to the action of her former teammate, however she remained stoic. Placing his hand above the villain's head, a bright blue light, like the beam but much fiercer enveloped Ultraman's form and evaporated what remained of the evil tyrant. When the light died down there was nothing left but a scorch mark on the floor.
Goku had never wanted to kill him, hell he never liked killing if he could help it, however some people were just too far gone to save. He stayed motionless as he just stared at the spot where the blue wearing villain had been kneeling previously, his tail twitching behind him mirroring its owner's mood. He barely registered the sound of heels heading towards him until he felt a pair of strong arms being wrapped around his chest, then the feeling of someone's head resting between his shoulder blades.
"What's wrong Goku, you have been staring at that spot for a while now?"
Goku sighed before he pushed his hand through his red locks, the action easing some tension "I-it's just that I can't help but feel like they could have been saved, like they didn't have to die."Suddenly Goku felt his body getting twisted around until he was face to face with Superwoman. He looked down to avoid her questioning gaze, but she knew better. Grabbing his chin, she lifted it up and positioned the martial artists face directly in front of her own,
"Goku listen to me, not everybody is going to be as willing to accept your offer for a second chance at life like I did." She received an amused smile from the saiyan,
"Yeah, but not everyone has seen what I can do through my memories."
"Touché." concluded the former villain with a small smile, before she sidled up close to Goku.
"W-what are you doing?" enquired Goku, attempting to back up from the beautiful villain.
Mary in response just chuckled at his reaction with a roll of her eyes, "Just roll with it." Goku had barely nodded in acceptance, when his new partner began to slowly lean in for another kiss.

"Ultraman, come on out. I have someone I'd like you to meet."
Up in the skies of Metropolis two figures could be seen levitating, one without the aid of technology and the other needing rocket boots. The figure not requiring rocket boots was dressed in a tight blue spandex suit that revealed the muscles beneath with red boots and a red belt around his waist. A massive red 'S' was showing proudly on his chest.
Beside him was the male using mechanically assisted flight. He was dressed in a power suit with black and gold trimmings. Golden gauntlets and boots finished the look.
"Luthor, are you certain this will work?" inquired the blue clad male, as they faced the house they were levitating in front of.
"Don't worry Superman I'm certain of it, if we can get Jimmy out of the house, we can lure Ultraman here."responded Luthor, his confidence bleeding into his very words.
Suddenly a loud *BANG * went off from behind the duo, causing both to turn quickly in time to see a massive blue beam of what appeared to be energy cut its way across the sky. Luthor glanced at his partner before he saw him blast of towards the location of the massive bang, whilst he stayed behind momentarily "That was the syndicates base of operations. Who would be foolhardy enough to attack it at such a time?" mused the bald leader of the Justice League before he too took off towards their base, pushing his thrusters to their maximum output to catch up to Superman.
Superman was the first to arrive until he was joined a moment later by Luthor. Both heroes were floating in front of what appeared to have been the exit of the massive beam they had seen. From what they could see it stretched about halfway through the base, whilst wires sparked, and lights flickered.
"What could have caused this?" inquired Superman, glancing at Luthor for answers.
"I wouldn't know. I do not recall the syndicate having such weapons of this power." replied Luthor "Why not use your x-ray vision to see what is inside. That way we might not enter blind."
"Good idea." concluded Superman, focusing his eyes on the base. Initially all he could see was the gun metal grey of the outer walls before they became transparent. He scanned all through the base looking for something or anything that might be out of place. everything had appeared normal until he came across the landing bay or more specifically what was left of it. Superman noted the damage to the walls, the two unconscious bodies with one lying on the ground in a heap and another slumped on the wall.
That was when he noticed Superwoman kissing an unidentifiable male in the middle of it all. The male had a tall but lean body type with well-defined muscles. He had unruly red hair which was a sharp contrast to the orange martial arts gear he was wearing. A blue undershirt, wristbands and boots completed the look.
"I've found something!" exclaimed Superman to his companion, not taking his eyes off their target.
"Shall I call for backup?"
Superman nodded his consent to the idea "From what I can see it's better to be safe than sorry."
Luthor then pressed two fingers to his right ear before attempting to call the rest of the members of their small group "Hello! We require backup, I repeat we need backup."
