(The three greatest superheroes climb and fly through the ship until they get deeper into Kang's "empire"...and they run into...)

Batman: Sub-Zero! What happened to you?!

Sub-Zero: Kang made me better than I ever was.

Spider-Man: (to Batman) He's YOUR walking bomb. How do we get past him?

(Sub-Zero shoots ice shards at the three. As Batman leaps out of the way, Ghost flies to face him. But Sub-Zero dodges and grabs his ankle. Meanwhile, Spider-Man is subdued by Swamp Thing. The two Kang's slaves toss the two heroes against Batman and they crumple to the floor.)

Ghost: Swamp Thing too?

Sub-Zero: (landing beside Swamp Thing) Kang has unlocked the Green's power. He has mastered the Firestorm Matrix. All knowledge will be subsumed under his empire.

(Ghost gets up and pulls out another eyecon before replacing the current one with it.)

EYE! BATCHIRIMINA! KAIGAN! RYOMA! MEZAMEYO! NIHON! YOAKE-ZEYO!

(Ghost changes forms and prepares to fight Sub-Zero.)

Ghost: You should be grateful I won't let you join your brother so soon, Kuai Liang

Ghost: You should be grateful I won't let you join your brother so soon, Kuai Liang.

(Having various forms really helps when you're a ghost and fight against a grandmaster. But due to being controlled by Kang, Kuai Liang can't fight properly. That and Batman's teachings put the Kamen Rider some steps ahead, bringing Sub-Zero down.)

Ghost: We'll get your mind right... I promise.

(Meanwhile, Spider-Man socks Swamp Thing right past Ghost and to the floor. He and Batman then rejoin him. Swamp Thing gets up and swats debris out of his way. Numerous Betas appear behind him and walk towards the three.)

Spider-Man: You have a plan?

Batman: It's a work in progress. I might be able to restore them.

(Spider-Man swings up and fires his webs at the Betas, but they raise their hands and block the webs. Batman runs around the Betas and bum-rushes Swamp Thing.)

Ghost: (pulls out an eyecon) That's new.

(Batman leaps over a pod thrown by Swamp Thing and kicks the Green's master in the mush. Swamp Thing swings back but Batman dodges as Spider-Man joins him again.)

Batman: Kang's adapting.

Swamp Thing: Adaptation is nature's way.

Ghost: (to Batman and Spider-Man) I can help him. Keep those betas busy.

(The duo does so as Ghost prepares to change forms.)

EYE! BATCHIRIMINA! KAIGAN! HIMIKO! MIRAI NO YOKOKU! YAMATAIKOKU!

(Ghost changes forms again.)
