Ambassador to Paradise Island

Kara-Ur, Tal-Zod, and Vin-Ar hovered near the Paradise archipelago. The central island they were looking for was the biggest. Several smaller islands housed smaller groups of Amazons. 

If not for their supervision, the three wouldn't be able to see through the illusions of Paradise Island. Kara-Ur was more or less in charge of this mission. It was her job to meet with Queen Hippolyta. 

"Why don't ya try knockin'," Talent suggested. 

"What do you want me to knock on?" A confused Kara-Ur asked her older brother. 

"He doesn't mean literally, he's just saying why not let them know you are here and what you want to do? From their perspective, they probably think we're lost and can't see them," Tommy said. 

"Ah!" Kara-Ur realized there was another way to go about this. "I really wish I could take you two with me, I don't know how to talk with queens. 

"Be respectful, your job isn't to convince the queen. Your job is to present the Krystallian to the queen,' Tommy said.

"Yeah, but don't forget dat if ya need sum help we're right here," Talent encouraged the young girl. To his mind, she looked to be about 13 or 14 years old. 

"Ok, no need to keep putting this off," Kara-Ur said. She waved at her older brothers and yelled.

"I am Kara-Ur of Krypton the daughter and representative of Siyan-Ur Matriarch of the Ur family. I request an audience with Queen Hippolyta to bring joyous news and offer a petition," Kara-Ur finished. Tommy and Talent noticed that instead of ignoring them, the inhabitants of the group of islands were all shocked and looked at them.

An Amazon riding a pegasus flew from the central island. In one hand she held a spear and with the other, she held the reigns of the horse. A round shield was slung over her back. She wore golden armor, while here pegasus also wore a combination of leather and metal armor. 

Flying up to the group of three, the woman hovered before them on her flying horse. Greetings Kara-Ur daughter of Siyan-Ur of Krypton, the great Queen Hippolyta welcomes you. She bids you to share your news and to make your petition. Your male servants must wait outside the barrier of the Island. No man shall step foot on Paradise Island," The Amazon spoke with a stern commitment to the Amazon Law of Aphrodite.

"These are not my servants mighty Amazon, but my elder brothers. This one is Tal of the house of Zodd. The other is Vin of the house of Ar, they are both heads of their houses. Although young Tal-Zod is wise and Vin-Ar is brilliant. 

They were forewarned by my mother for stepping foot on your island. We will respect the Amazon way, of course," Kara-Ur spoke and bowed. 

"That is good, I will send someone with refreshments to honor the heads of the Zod and Ar families. Will you attend me Lady Ur?" The Amazon respectfully asked.

"Please lead the way...I don't not know your name mighty warrior," Kara-Ur asked. 

"I am Philippus, the Queen's General and commander of the Amazon military," Philippus spoke with pride. 

After speaking, Philippus lead Kara-Ur to her meeting with the Queen.

"How da heck does she know how ta speak in such a fancy way. What is she 13, and didn't we just wake her up taday?: Talent asked.

"I think Ma gave Kara-Ur more than just a supercharge. She probably implanted knowledge about such things. However, if this was the knowledge of the girl, then she is impressive," Tommy said.

Butch and Victor arrived in Keystone City and spent the day looking for Michael Fox and his cursed ring. It was when a red blur passed by them that they saw a large green mallet striking the road. 

Butch watched as the malet struck over and over again, it seemed like the person in the air was trying to hit the red streak. He kept missing, but it seemed like the man using the green energy was distracted. 

"I already told you that I don't want fight the Flash, I don't want to fight anyone!" 

Butch listened and finally concluded, "That must be Michael. He already has his ring on, put on that costume and get that ring from the Green guy," Butch commanded. Victor pressed a gold necklace he was wearing and a costume shot out of it. 

The costume was mostly black, but there was a patriotic flag on a vest that was hidden by the black cape. A helmet with a black back, but mostly white, and then red and blue colors were put on. This was the costume Butch picked out for Mr. Victory. For the most part, it was a black suit. The only superhero elements were the red and blue gloves, the cape and vest, and finally the helmet. 

Butch contracted all the muscles in his body and brandished a domino mask. He had several gold chains, rings, and a gold watch. Mr. Gold made his public debut! Butch walked with a calm stride to the middle of the street. The mallet construct that kept missing Flash smashed down toward Mr. Gold. Butch didn't dodge, instead, he raised his hand and caught the mallet. 

The small hand Butch shrunk down and must have had a lot of power because, in the next instant, the green energy mallet construct shattered. This was the first time the man wearing a green, black, and white, Power Ring, stopped yelling at the air. 

"Stop trying to make cute objects, just blast him!...Then why are we fighting?...What?...I never said that...I didn't say that either...Well I don't think it's right that you hold that against me....It was your maid!" Mr. Victory snuck up behind Power Ring. A layer of talc covered his left hand. 

He grabbed Power ring with his left hand and then shot the ring with a watergun he was carrying. Power Ring kicked Mr. Victory off with a shrug of his green energy shield, but things seemed strange to Michael. He looked down and realized his ring fell of and hewas falling toward the ground. 

Mr. Gold sent out both of his hands, one hand held the cylinder Ma gave him. The Ring fell neatly inside and as soon as he heard the "clink" sound he closed the cylinder. Mr. Victory grew a pair of wings out of his back and caught Michael while slowly lowering him to the ground.

"The Flash came in front of Mr. Gold and Mr. Victory when they saw how quickly they delt with Power Ring. 

"Thanks for the help boys! I kept trying to get close to him, but that mallet was one mean weapon!

"Sure, this fellow is a friend of ours. His ring got cursed and now he's suffering from some illusions. We already have a cure, we promise justice will be done! Mr. Gold shouted.

"Ok, Make sure he doesn't get away," Flash said.

"Don't worry, the next time you see him, he'll apologize to you," Mr. Victory added. The Flash thought there was something odd about this whole thing, but in the end, he didn't care. He disappeared in a Flash. 

It took some time to find Michael's power battery, which too was sealed in Ma's magic container. After accomplishing their mission, they hurried back to Talent's place.
