Chapter 31

New Threat

The Rock of Eternity

Billy Batson had woken up. He wasn't at his one roomed apartment, he was at the Rock of Eternity again. He saw Shazam sitting on his throne and the same eight statues he saw on his first trip there.

"Hello Billy Batson." Shazam greeted.

"Hello Shazam, why am I here? Am I using the powers you gave me incorrectly?" Billy asked.

"No, not at all. In fact you are using the powers perfectly." Shazam said. "Telling you that wasn't why I had you come here. There is a new threat among the humans. He comes from the ocean. His name is Orm Marius."

"What do I have to do to stop him?" Billy asked.

"There is a big invasion that you and other heroes will have to stop." Shazam said. A holographic picture showed up in front of Billy's face. A man with an odd mask and a black cape showed up on it. "You and these heroes are bigger than the threat, which means you can stop it."

"Why is Orm here?" Billy asked.

"He wants to conquer all of Earth. Do not fear. There is another Kryptonian on Earth that came here to live with her cousin, Kal-El, or as you know him, Superman. Her name is Kara Zor-El. She is older than Superman but doesn't appear older; she will look like she is a teen. You can trust her." Shazam said. The building began to crumble, "These meeting do not last long."

"You don't say?" Billy said sarcastically.

"You need to stop this threat. He will flood the whole Earth if you do not." Shazam stated.

"I will." Billy said, "And I'll have help."
