(A male figure known as Ikari Kido is seen packing his stuff on Daily Planet as both Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen approach him.)

Lois: Do you really have to go, Ikari?

Ikari: I do, Lois. My family is waiting for me.

Jimmy: Is there any specific reasons for them to want you back in Japan?

Ikari: Well, it's been a long time since my family last celebrated my birthday.

Lois: Congratulations, Ikari.

Jimmy: Happy birthday.

Ikari: Thank you, guys. But where is Clark?

Jimmy: It looks like he's late... again...

Ikari: I wonder what else is new... well, send him my regards.

(Ikari walks away)

Lois: We will, Ikari.

(Some hours later, Ikari is seen in his house on Japan as they celebrate his birthday.)

Ikari's Family: 🎵Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!🎵

(They clap their hands as they resume their celebration.)

(Some weeks later, Ikari is seen in his house watching TV until he sees Superman in some kind of Press Conference along with Wonder Woman.)

Superman: You all know me as Superman or Kal-El, but my Earth name is Clark Kent.

Ikari: (eyes widen) Clark?

Superman: I am... was a reporter for the Daily Planet. I spent my time writing about the evils of this world. I spent my time as a hero reacting to many of those evils. I failed you on both counts.

(Ikari is seen in shock as he found out his former coworker is Superman.)

Superman: What happened in Metropolis can never be allowed to occur again.

Ikari: (shocked) He wouldn't...

Superman: I don't care about your lands, beliefs or petty squabbles. I don't care if you're a freedom fighter or a terrorist, dictator or president. Monsters will not be allowed to roam free.

Ikari: I take it back...

Superman: I am calling an immediate... worldwide ceasefire. All hostilities will stop, or I will stop them. No one has the right to take innocent lives. No one. It's over.

(Ikari turns off the TV and leaves his house. As he walks in the streets, he realizes that nobody will be safe from Superman.)

Ikari: This can't be true... what changed Clark so much to the point he revealed to be the Man of Steel and decided to become a dictator?

(Suddenly he finds a ridewatch.)

Ikari: What's this?

(He picks up the ridewatch and activates it.)

RYUKI!

(Ikari's eyes widen as the ridewatch suddenly turns into an advent deck, and then he looks at the mirror and points the deck at it, causing a buckle to appear in his waist.)

Ikari: Clark... no, Superman...

(The screen goes black.)

Ikari: I'm going to stop you!
