Clark immediately contacted Bruce Wayne via comms.
Without a contract with the Mirror Creature, no one could stay in the Mirror World for long.
Once the time limit was exceeded, their bodies would begin to disintegrate into particles.
Even for Clark and the others, they could only remain slightly longer than normal.
Boom!
Just as Clark tried to contact Bruce, a Siren Head appeared behind him and smashed him into the ground.
Moments later, several Siren Heads moved to surround Clark, Diana, Arthur, and Neptunemon.
Their siren heads emitted a chilling light—
—freezing the four of them, and the street around them, into solid blocks of ice.
WHOOOOMMM!!
The next second, the ice encasing Clark began to shake violently before he burst free, shattering it.
He quickly unleashed his heat vision to melt the ice imprisoning Arthur, Diana, and Neptunemon.
But now, all four of them were visibly suffering from severe particle disintegration. They didn't have much time left.
Meanwhile, the Siren Heads showed no signs of disintegration at all.
"Final Arrival!"
A digitized voice echoed across the battlefield.
A motorcycle wrapped in a black cape—like a drill in motion—charged through and plowed straight through the Siren Heads, knocking them aside.
It screeched to a halt in front of Clark and the others.
As the black cape retracted…
Bruce Wayne appeared—now in Survival Gale Mode.
"Get on, now!"
At his command, the three immediately jumped onto the motorcycle.
Arthur made sure to retrieve Neptunemon, storing him back into his Digivice.
Bruce then drove the bike straight into a mirror—returning them to the real world.
The corresponding location in reality was a bustling shopping district.
The sudden appearance of a group of people leaping out of a mirror caused a huge commotion.
To avoid drawing further attention, Clark took them into the sky and flew off to land elsewhere in private.
"Phew… I seriously thought we were done for in there! You couldn't have come a bit earlier?"
Arthur groaned, glancing at his own hands as he lay on the ground, clearly exhausted.
"Sorry. The distance was too far."
Bruce gave an apologetic nod.
"You did bring them, right?" Diana asked suddenly.
"Of course."
Bruce raised his hand—revealing several miniature Siren Heads.
Their horns had been destroyed, and they were curled up in agony.
"These little guys are surprisingly convenient. Shrink 'em, carry 'em. Easy."
Bruce took out a small circular device from his belt.
It was one of Ant-Man's tools—used to shrink or enlarge anything it touched.
When Bruce made his "Final Arrival," he'd already shrunk the heavily injured Siren Heads and brought them with him.
"You all rest up. We're heading back to the Mirror World shortly. Clark—can you toss these into the Blood Pool for me? Along with the Hallucination Predators I collected."
He handed both the shrunken Siren Heads and the containment box full of predators to Clark.
"Yes, sir, Captain."
Clark smirked as he accepted them—teasing Bruce slightly.
And, truthfully, Bruce did feel like a team captain, issuing orders left and right.
Bruce had no idea how to respond to that.
"But seriously… why can those things stay in the Mirror World forever and not disintegrate? Totally unfair."
Arthur leaned against a wall and muttered.
"I'm not sure… probably something about their body structure."
Bruce lowered his head in thought.
He'd once considered letting the Siren Heads stay too long in the Mirror World so they'd disintegrate and die.
But it hadn't worked.
They had remained inside for a long time with no signs of particle decay.
So Bruce shifted tactics.
He decided to throw the severely injured Siren Heads into the Blood Pool.
That way, they would sink into the Blood Pool's otherworldly depths—and never wreak havoc in this world again.
And while he was at it, he tossed in the Hallucination Predators too.
Whether they'd ever return? That would be a question for another day.
"Hey! Look over there!"
Diana suddenly pointed in alarm toward the direction they had come from.
Everyone turned—and their faces changed instantly.
The Siren Heads were emerging through the glass of a skyscraper!
Their sudden appearance threw the citizens into a panic—screaming and running in every direction.
"They're crawling out of the glass?!"
Arthur cried in disbelief.
"Of course! They've figured it out! They must've analyzed how we were crossing between the Mirror World and reality—they've opened their own spatial tunnels!"
Bruce immediately proposed the grim conclusion.
If you could see under his mask, his expression was terribly grim.
"Clark, get to the Blood Pool! We'll handle things here!"
Bruce urged him.
"Got it. I'll be back in under a minute!"
Clark rocketed into the sky, flying straight toward the Blood Pool.
At that moment, the Darkwing Bat emerged from a mirror.
The other three jumped aboard, rushing to engage the Siren Heads.
The Siren Heads, furious at being dragged into another dimension, attacked with immediate and powerful sonic blasts.
They were enraged.
Some of their own had been wounded, taken away, and they couldn't even exact revenge.
Now they needed bloodshed to vent their fury!
But just as their sonic waves burst forth—
A yellow barrier shimmered into place ahead of the fleeing citizens.
It absorbed the sonic impact completely.
That shield was conjured by Bruce Wayne—using his Yellow Lantern Ring!
"Fish-Man Karate: Shark Arrows!"
Arthur's voice rang from above. Arrows of water rained down like a meteor shower, striking the Siren Heads' horned heads.
At the same time, beams of light rained down, sweeping the area.
The Siren Heads were stunned and overwhelmed.
Then—BOOM!
Bruce Wayne, still in his Ant-Man armor, suddenly appeared in giant form right in front of them.
He raised both arms and scooped up multiple Siren Heads at once—forcing them back into the Mirror World!
The battle in the DC Universe… raged on!
Leo's World
In Ultraman Leo's universe, Hallucination Predators had appeared too—spreading across multiple cities.
But unlike the DC Universe, they didn't have someone like The Flash.
Nor the convenience of Mirror World access.
So Dan Moroboshi deployed MAC team members to each location where Predators had been detected—and what objects they'd taken the form of.
At first, no one believed something so absurd.
But after someone got their hand melted by a Hallucination Predator—
They knew it was all too real.
