Supergirl:Kaori Zora-Ku
based on Udon studios Ame-Comi design


Kaori, as well as the other inhabitants of Kandor, awoke to a strange skyline. the entire city was transported into the Phantom Zone, but not before the entire populace's control collars were rendered inert. They were free, but now in an extremely hostile environment. The scientific nature of the Kryptonians took hold and they immediately began to craft a shelter from their new surroundings. The completion of the wedding which brought them there was the least of their concerns. The natural leader that he was, Zod took control, and made himself protector of the city as well as their leader. The scientists deduced a way of escape from the Zone, by using a natural energy well that existed far from the city, utilizing a device they had developed. When they decided to implement the plan, a team of scientists would be escorted by a team of warriors to the energy well to set up the device. Zod chose to be a part of the escort, as Kaori was one of the scientists that volunteered. they flew off, and were immediately besieged by the hostile denizens of the Phantom zone. by the time they got to the well, only Kaori, Zod, & his lieutenants; Ursa and Non had survived the trip. she quickly set up the device, and they were transported through and wound up on Apokalips. They soon discovered that Krypton was no more, but they also intercepted the beacon that told of the location of "The Son of Our Jailer", and agreed that they should take vengeance out on him before setting free the rest of their citizens from the Phantom Zone. Kaori protested, but she was quickly rendered unconscious as they found their way off world. during their travel to earth, they came to realize that the 11 months in the zone were equal to 22 years. the unconscious Kaori would be found by Darkseid's Female Furies trainer Granny Goodness, and they would begin her "re-education" before sending her to Warworld, where Superman would find her, after defeating Darkseid a year later.

Blue Devil:Shoki Chikamoto
based on Shizuka from Queen's Blade


Librarian Shoki was a very quiet person who was disrespected, and taken advantage of in almost every aspect of her life. Her only havens from abuse were her church, and her job at the public Library. Even though people used the library less and less, those who did acknowledged and respected her skill at navigating the stacks and her level of knowledge in ancient & recent books. One evening a man came in and went to a section that had ancient books on the occult. Shoki recognized the man as one who had come in before and taken out books, but she quickly checked to confirm those books were never returned. she followed him into the isle and confronted him about the missing books. He grabbed her by the neck and pushed her against a shelf, causing the books to rain down on top of her. he looked into her eyes, but upon seeing the book he came for on the ground, he tossed her aside , picked up the book and left. enraged that the only place she had ever stood up for herself was now yet another place where she was violated, she followed the man, determined to get the books back that he had stolen. when he arrived at his destination, she saw that a demonic ritual had been prepared and the man ripped pages from the book he had just taken to add to pages he had torn from the other books and began to chant in a language she didn't understand. in the middle of the runes inscribed in blood on the floor, she saw a card that she thought may have been from the popular card game that had recently become the latest overnight sensation. after completing his incantation, a transparent figure stood above the card in encased in a circle of glowing energy. It was a stunningly beautiful, yet otherworldly looking woman with pale skin and hair, Shoki could barely keep her eyes off of her. the man addressed the figure as Amanozako, The Wishweaver. [link] The man said he would complete the spell of summoning for the Demonqueen, if she allowed him to have the power of a demon. she agreed, and upon completion of the ritual, the man doubled over in pain. he began to convulse and vomit blood, until a demon literally burst from inside his body, spraying his body parts and organs all over the room. what stood in his place was a large, horned, blue skinned demon that turned its head in Shoki's direction, when she cried out at the grisly scene. the demon ran towards her, and she fled for her life. he followed her into the streets, running down people and cars that got in his way. she somehow made it onto a train thinking she was safe, until the roof of the car was torn off and the demon jumped in. As he was about to bite into her neck, her crucifix fell out from within her blouse and caused him to draw back as if blinded by a searing heat. when she opened her eyes, the demon was gone, but so was the damage to the train. she was unsure of what had just happened, and she went to her church, looking over her shoulder the whole way there. when the priest saw her there at that late hour, he inquired what had her looking so haggard. she recounted the tale and the young priest, whom she had a crush on, tried to reassure her that she probably had just hit her head really hard when she was attacked in the library. An elder priest, however told her to come with him. he took her to his office, and opened an ornately designed wooden box. inside was a dagger, that he wrapped in cloth and gave to her. he told her that he was given the blade years ago and told to protect it. he would also know when the time would come to give it up to another. They left the church, and as the elder priest walked with Shoki towards his car he told her that the dagger was blessed and would protect her if she truly had come across demons. he called the younger priest over to drive Shoki home, but then the blue demon landed on top of the car. he swatted Shoki with his tail, sending her flying through another car's windshield. he bit the elder priest's face off as he picked up and then slammed shoki against the car, much like she was earlier in the library. the younger priest came to assist, but the demon slashed his face with his free hand, then flung him with his tail back across the street to land hard on the church steps. Shoki's necklace had fallen off when he grabbed her, and she was no longer on hallowed ground. she did still have the knife, which she turned on the blue demon. she stabbed him repeatedly, and the demons blood spewed out on her as she did, covering her in it as well as some going in her mouth as she screamed the whole time. As it was dying, the demon said that it had already opened the gate to the Hell Realms and that more were still coming thru. torn between seeing to the young priest and stopping anymore demons from coming into their world and wreaking havoc, she jumped into the car and sped back to where she saw the ritual. demons were flowing out of the portal until she took the knife and stabbed the floor directly in the center of it. the portal closed, but the trapped spirit was still there. the blood drenched librarian looked at the card-locked spirit and asked her what this was all about. she told her that she was bound to the card, but tried to release one of the most powerful demon sorcerers from the Hell Realms to help free her from the card's magic. Shoki said that she would ensure that that never happened by destroying the card. Amanozako said that she looked exquisite in red, then asked if that was demon's blood. Shoki stopped to think why she would ask ,then fell over in pain. she began to convulse. Amanozako said by drinking the blood of the demon she had killed, she was now becoming the demon. She said she could help Shoki regain her humanity, but she had to destroy the power circle that kept her trapped. she did so and the energy cage disappeared. however, Shoki continued to transform into a blue skinned, horned, tailed demon. As the spirit began to return to its card, Shoki cried out, invoking the deal that was struck. Amanozako informed her that prior to her return, 113 demons escaped from the Hell Realms. She had 666 days to return them from whence they came, or she would be stuck in that form for eternity. She also informed her that the sorcerer that Amanozako sought was one of the ones that escaped prior to closing the gate. Shoki passed out, and when she came to, the WishWeaver card was gone. she tried to retrieve the blade that was stuck hilt deep in the ground, but when she made contact with it, her demonic flesh burned. she left the blade there and ran back to see about the young priest. he still lay on the steps to the church, but awoke as Shoki approached. he backpedaled, but as soon as she touched the sidewalk where the church stood, searing pain lanced through her body. she retreated and tried to reassure the priest that it was her, but he didn't care if it was or not. she had brought much horror to his door & he could only see her as the demon she was now. she left and returned to the library, as it was now her only haven, only to find it burning. she would have to find a new location to research the new world she had fallen into and begin her hunt. As she left, she picked up the skull of the dead blue demon, whose place she had taken.

-Shoki doesnt allow anyone to call her by her name. she goes by Blue Devil.
- Amanozako is Neron. Because she is one of the more powerful cards of the Tenshu Obake Karuta, she can influence (not control) her cardholder. the darker their spirit, the greater her influence
- Blue Devil can create her trident from a plucked hair from her head.
-She will find out that ingesting the blood of other demons temporarily increases her powers and abilities, but the idea of it is as revolting to her as it is addictive.
- She will be in at least two Meta-Brawls.
-Her new base of operations will eventually be The House of Weirdness.
