Right after leaving the pier, the girls chatted about how they had fun.

  “Well, ladies, after a night like this I think we deserve something sweet,” said Zee.

  “To Sweet Justice!” Zee, Kara, Karen and Jessica said in unison as they entered the cafe.

  “You don’t want to miss this!” Kara dragged Diana and Barbara inside.

  The interior of the cafe was of vibrant pink, with the clients enjoying several sweet delicacies, from ice cream to cakes.

  The girls went to the counter to make their order, and they were welcomed by a tall lanky boy with short blonde hair and blue eyes.

  “Hey, guys. So, what's the haps, what's poppin', what's the latest?” He spoke fastly, “Can I get you something sweet? Sure hope so, 'cause that's what we have. It's sort of our speciality!“

  “Hi, Barry!” The girls minus Diana and Barbara said in unison.

  “So, what will it be? The usual? The usual? The usual? The usual? The usu-” Barry noticed Barbara and Diana. “Oh, hi there! I didn’t notice you.”

  “Babs will have the “Candy Cake Triple Ripple Tower” while Diana will have the “Death by Chocolate,” said Zee, she glanced at Diana. “Figure of speech, of course.”

  In a flash, Barry brought to the girls what they ordered. As they sat down, Diana inspected the chocolate ice cream she had in front of her.

  “Well? What are you waiting for, Diana?” Jessica noticed her friend hesitating.

  The Amazon then took her spoon and tried her ice cream…Then proceeded to devour it like she hadn’t eaten in days from how good it was, much to the disgust of her teammates.

  “Never have I tasted such wonderment!” She said, “More, I must have more of this magical concoction!”

  Diana then proceeded to ravenously eat all the sweet food the girls have ordered till she collapsed on the table.

  “Huh…Diana?” Karen checked if she was okay.

  “SISTERS!” Diana suddenly woke up, “This food is more delectable than ambrosia and this place is more perfect than Elysium! I declare that we must celebrate our every future victory here and thus!”

  “Sweet Justice for the win!” said Barbara, happily.

  However, her enthusiasm soon faded as the robots stormed inside the cafe.

  “Attention, citizens,” the robot in the front spoke. “This business or dwelling has been categorised for immediate destruction. By order of the City of Metropolis, you must vacate before structure removal begins. You have 30 seconds to comply.”

  Panic ensued, as the civilians started to evacuate the Sweet Justice. The girls, however, stood still, unsure on wherever to intervene or not.

  “I think we should do something…” said Kara.

  “Leaving, perhaps.” said Zee, “They’re City robots, it’s not like there’s much we can do.”

  “You have 15 seconds to comply,” said the robot.

  “But it doesn’t make sense!” said Jessica, “Why did the City decide to tear this place down out of sudden, while it’s still open?”

  “You have 10 seconds to comply. 10, 9, 8…” said the robot.

  “Is this a law we must obey? Or should we fight?” said Diana

  “Let’s get out of here, we’re not ready for a fight!” said Karen.

  “2,1…This completes your warning. Demolition will now begin.” The robot announced.

  Suddenly, more robots crashed into the Sweet Justice by destroying the walls and the windows. But then, as a robot was approaching a table where a boy wearing VR specs was sitting, unaware of the situation, Diana in an instant changed into her costume and destroyed the robot.

  “It matters not if these villains are protected by Man’s Law, our mission is to protect the innocent, and that is what we must do.” Diana spoke to her teammates. “Come, sisters, this is our time.”

  The girls, inspired by the Amazon’s words, instantly changed into their costumes and started fighting back the hordes of robots.

  …However, things quickly went downhill due to the girls’ inexperience in fighting. Zee acted cocky, treating it more like it was one of her many magic shows rather actually fighting to protect several people’s lives. Karen acted cowardly and soon retreated, Kara didn’t even let Diana finish giving her order and accidentally threw a robot towards two catatonic civilians, but luckily Jessica intervened and created a trampoline to bounce them away…Towards a wall, making the ceiling start falling apart.

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  Babs was having a hard time destroying the robots until suddenly, all of them were cut in half.

  As she saw who did, the redhead gasped in shock. “You’re…You’re…”

  The figure calmly turned and then went to destroy the other robots with his sword. But unfortunately, his intervention wasn’t enough to save the cafe from falling apart. The final nail in the coffin was Zee, who accidentally hit Diana with her magic blasts, who in turn hit Kara and pushed her to the wall.

  “Everyone out! It’s coming down!” Jessica shouted.

  The girls jumped out of the windows, with Jessica and the masked figure evacuating the remaining civilians right before the place fell down.

  The team couldn’t help look in shock at their failure as the robots went away.

  Then, Diana slapped Kara. “Insubordination! Why did you not await my orders?! You are reckless!”

  “Well, excuuuse me, Princess!” said Kara with a mocking tone, “In case you didn’t notice, I was the only one in there actually fighting-”

  Suddenly, they heard a laugh. It sounded hammy, yet collected. The girls turned and sawthe masked figure standing on a light pole. “It appears that you lot aren’t as efficient as I hoped. What a disappointment.” His voice was deep with a generic US accent

  “Who are you?” Diana asked, not sure whether to trust the figure.

  “I am…Zero.” Zero jumped from the pole and kneeled in front of Diana like a knight. “At last, we finally meet, Wonder Woman.”

  “Wait…Zero? ‘The Black Knight’ they talked about on the news?” said Jessica.

  “He does have some style,” Zee commented, “The purple cloak looks classy.”

  "He looks stupid, what's with the mask?" Kara commented.

  Barbara squealed like the fangirl she was.

  “You may stand up, there’s no need to kneel,” said Diana, both flattered and slightly embarrassed, “I have heard many tales about you. I take you were also fighting these mechanical fiends before?”

  “Indeed,” Zero stood up, “These robots have been targeting several hotspots of Metropolis, just a bit ago I encountered a few at the movie theatre.”

  “But why does the City suddenly want to tear down these places? There wasn’t anything wrong with the theatre.” Jessica asked.

  “That is a good question. Whoever is behind this, must be linked to LexCorp in some way.” Zero picked up on the pieces of the slashed robots.

  “And…What could Lex Luthor possibly have against cupcakes?” Kara asked.

  “I don't know at the moment, I need to investigate.” said Zero, “But first, we must keep chasing those robots, it's unlikely they'll stop now.”

  “Well, looks like you already have a plan. I'm out!” Zee turned back to normal and left.

  “What?!” Barbara was shocked, “Why?!”

  “Let's face it, we were never meant to be heroes, especially me…” Karen took off her helmet and left.

  “I knew this ring would lead to just violence and destruction.” Jessica took off her ring and left.

  “Like I said, being superheroes is for chumps.” Kara left.

  “Guys, wai-” Barbara sounded so defeated. Zero put his hand on her shoulder, attempting to comfort her.

  “Let them go,” He said, “We can deal with this by ourselves. Isn't that right, Wonder Wo-”

  Suddenly, a cloud of smoke appeared. Diana looked at the smoke with a distraught expression.

  “Barbara Gordon, Zero, meet…My mother.” She said.

  A massive muscular woman emerged from the smoke. She had long golden blonde hair and golden eyes and wore a matching armour, tiara and a coat. As the smoke vanished, the woman’s soldiers appeared standing in line.

  “Hippolyta…” Zero thought.

  “Dude…Your mom looks like a final boss!” said Barbara, feeling intimidated.

  “Disguising yourself as a warrior, entering the tournament of Athena and Aphrodite against the wishes of your Queen, leaving Themyscira without my permission!” Hippolyta scolded her daughter.

  “Wait, you…Snuck out?” Barbara was puzzled, “But I thought it was your destiny to save the World of Man!”

  “This insolent child has no such destiny! She has brought shame upon her people!” Hippolyta then headed towards the ship along with the other Amazons, dragging Diana by her ear. “Come, Diana! It is for us to go home.”

  And so, they left. Barbara fell on her knees, her morale was lower than sea level as she took off her mask.

  “The situation got worse in a matter of seconds.” Zero thought, “All of my pawns have been eliminated instantly, I have to think of a plan…”

  Then, Zero’s train of thought was interrupted by Barbara’s weeping.

  “Batgirl, are you…?” He said.

  “I’m…Fine.” Barbara lied. “I’ve…I’ve ruined everything, I shouldn’t have forced them to become heroes.”

  “No, you are not at fault.” said Zero, “Your comrades have potential, they only lack motivation after their…Lackluster performance against the robots, motivation you are going to give them back.”

  Barbara wiped off her tears. “Me?”

  “Yes, you. I am sure you will succeed, Babs.” Zero walked away.

  “Hey! Where are you going?” Barbara asked.

  “To give a hero back her freedom.” Zero used his grappling hook and left, heading to the Amazons’ ship.

  Barbara stood up and looked at the Black Knight leaving. “How did he know my name…?”

  Later, Barbara went directly to each girl's house, but with no success as they immediately slammed the door the moment they saw her. So, the redhead was forced to use other methods to get them to listen. Using her tablet, she videocalled the girls.

  “I am not talking to you, Babs!” they said in unison.

  “Girls, please!” said Barbara, “Don't hang up!”

  “Give us one reason why not!” said Kara.

  “ 'Cause I need you to fight!” said Barbara. She sighed, “Look, I know not all of us wanted to be heroes, but one of us did: H er . We don't have to choose to be heroes, but Diana's super scary warrior mom is dragging her back to her crazy magical island forever and now the one of us who knew for sure she wanted to be, she's the one who doesn't have a choice. She wanted to save everybody in the whole entire world, and now she needs saving. Zero went to save her, but he'll need all the help he can find. You don't have to be heroes if you don't want to, you don't have to fight...Except this one time. Because she's our friend. And best friends, they're worth fighting for, you know?”

  The girls, after hearing Babs’ speech, now looked unsure about their decision.

  “...Well, I suppose we owe her one,” said Jessica.

  And so, the girls prepared for their rescue mission.

  Meanwhile, the Amazons’ ship navigated the sea until suddenly it stopped moving.

  “What is going on?! Why have we stopped?!” Hippolyta asked.

  “I-I do not know, someone has dropped the anchor!” An Amazon soldier said.

  “And who did it?” said Hippolyta.

  “That would be me,” A male voice spoke: It was Zero, standing on the mast of the ship.

  “A man?!” Several Amazons drew their swords, but the Black Knight wasn’t intimidated, as he calmly went down the mast.

  “And who you might be?” Hippolyta asked.

  Zero bowed, his cloak moving giving a dramatic effect. “I am Zero, the Black Knight, and I am here to give your daughter her freedom back. And in order to do that…”

  He drew his sword and pointed at Hippolyta. “I challenge you to a duel, Queen of the Amazons!”
