>>6346757Immediately you recognize Plastic Man's voice, and without hesitation withdraw your Stand. Kicking off Amazo's back, getting clear as you watch Plastic Man's elastic body shoot up <span class="mu-i">inside</span> the opening you'd made in the machine's guts! The robot's eye beams end, Freeza ending his own attack as well as you all watch the machine start to rapidly swell. More and more rotund, swelling larger and larger until the robot's stretched into a large sphere. Only to pop like a balloon, metal shearing and tearing as Plastic Man's spherical shape is all that remains. Staying like a giant ball a moment before returning to his more 'normal' shape, dropping back down to the ground on his feet and flashing you a thumbs up.
“Nicely done!” you call down to him, everyone gathering back in the crater as parts of this new Amazo continue raining down. “Good idea, I'd have never considered it.”
“Yeah, wasn't something I could exactly DO in the tournament. Cause, you know.” he replies, grinning. “But you guys sure have excellent timing.”
“We came to bring this city back.” Freeza says, you glancing to Superman. Who suddenly is looking very intensely at you all, hope in his eyes. “But, after the tournament, we decided we didn't need the Dragon Balls to restore your city. We could do it ourselves.”
“Yourselves? Eleven million people lived in Metropolis when it was destroyed.” Superman says, shocked. “You can really bring that many back?”
“Of course.” Freeza says nonchalantly, but you recognize the slight worry behind his expression. He clearly wasn't expecting that large a number. But first, we need the ones who'll make this all possible.”
“Right.” you reply, giving Raven the all-clear, the portal reopening a moment later. Your two youngest children stepping through, the mood IMMEDIATELY shifting.
“Uhh, you said the ones who were going to make this all possible would be coming through. They're just kids.” Plastic Man says, Okira turning to him. Her Stand, Imagine Dragon and her sharing a look, before speaking in unison.
“<span class="mu-s">Plastic Man's mouth is now covered by a muzzle he can't shapeshift out of.</span>” they say, and suddenly a muzzle appears around his head. You watch as his eyes widen in shock, hands trying to pull it off first, then trying to shapeshift out of it. But now matter how he contorts himself, the mask remains firmly planted on his face. Everyone who calls this planet home turns to Okira, expressions all various states of shock. Even the one who'd been hiding in the shadows, stunned by her reality-warping power as she turns to them, looking more than a little smug. “Now, anyone else want to question me?”
And as no one challenges her, eyes wide with shock and slight worry, you can't help but grin. That's your daughter. One who has the power to change worlds. You just hope that, with your influence, she'll use that power wisely.
