Synopsis for "Chapter Twelve"
Zatanna's owl tells the magician Kara Zor-El that they're reaching their destination, but Lord Zod becomes annoyed at the human not speaking herself, upon which Kara reminds that she had sacrificed her voice to protect the Sun in past and now the owl Merels, which is her familiar, is her only way of communicating. Learning her scythe is her only way to channel her magic, Zod says that humans are too afraid of magic and Zatanna, who's filled with it, should trust it. Kara reminds that few trust his necromancy, upon which he rebukes them, stating his powers from the Phantom Realm's lords will defeat the Black and resurrect Krypton. As they arrive at their destination, Kara investigates and states she must trust her allies despite her doubts, as Harbinger chose them.
As Kara wishes the Green Lantern were here, Zatanna reads her thoughts and ignores her question when she learns what she is doing. As Kara tells Zatanna that she doesn't like or trust her since she fears herself, Zod comes upon a tomb and alerts them. He reveals that it's called the "Long Barrow", where Doomsday was imprisoned long ago after being defeated, and he fears that the monster may have escaped. As the three investigate, Zatanna discovers that he really is gone, but is unable to find where he went. Zod discovers a strange technological device in the barrow and states that what the Harbinger told them about the coming crisis is turning out to be true. As Kara wonders what to do with the device, Zod destroys it, but it just reforms.
Zatanna reveals that all tombs of Earth have been emptied and their monsters loosened upon other worlds. Zod feels it too and Kara decides to warn the others. They however soon get ambushed by mysterious drones and fight back, but struggle to defeat them. Zatanna then uses her scythe to unleash blood magic, the most powerful of all kinds of magic, but a mysterious figure snatches it away when she starts turning the tide, leaving her powerless. Zod panics at this situation and wonders what to do, before Kara tells him to keep his promise of helping her. The mysterious figure then orders the drones to follow his orders and kill them all.
