" When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. "

- Thomas Jefferson

(Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 6PM)

An abandoned facility within the African city was still standing despite the invasion. Anytime soon, a group of Kree and Lizards would occupy the structure. Jusis Vandark and the Kree Eternal, disguised as a blue Kree-Faunus feline reached this place from the dusty and crowded streets. Vandark turned to his companion and got curious of the Kree Eternal's disguise. Then, his stomach growled as he reached into his jacket pocket for a candy bar instinctively but the pocket was empty.

" Ah, yes, that is unfortunate, " the paranormal scientist commented. " Odd choice for a disguise my friend. "

" Well, this is the only thing I have for now, " Methu-Selah said. " I found this one back in Moulin Rouge. This unfortunate person had died more than ten years ago. So, I took his persona to protect myself. Tell me, did my son do the same thing when you met him? "

Vandark stroked his chin and thought back. Recalling those days, he took care of the young Kree-Lizard hybrid wanderer back in Ukraine.

" I'm not sure, " he said. " I found him unconscious near a cursed statue in a haunted land. "

" Some years ago in Europe, right? "

Vandark chuckled cheerfully and pulled out his flashlight.

" It was a surprise, let me tell you. I certainly did not expect company in that region. Due to its spiritual weirdness, even the lizards and the Kree like you avoided the area mostly. An area rich in Mavka and Dullahan."

" Ukrainian legends, right? Did he find something from there aside from the mavka and statue? "

Vandark relaxed and smiled when he replied cheerfully, " Confidence. "

" I see...I believe my son has achieved that. "

Vandark switched off his flashlight and began to search trash cans nearby.

" Your son was also useful for my research. He helped me figure a few things out, " he nodded, looked around, and scratched his face in an agitated manner.

" So, do you mean he has been translating and rewriting some documents? "

" Yes, among other things. He is rather bright for his age, you know."

" Well, somewhat he has inherited that one from me..." Methu-Selah smiled and nodded as he sensed something was coming. Vandark was becoming more on edge and fidgeting.

" Your sixth sense is screaming at you, too? "

" My cosmic awareness rather..."

" Whatever that is, it does not seem fun. "

Vandark pulled the blue light crystal out of his flashlight and replaced it with a green one. Methu-Selah remained calm and took a deep breath when the impending trouble was coming. However, he had to reveal himself to the attacker. He illuminated his both hands with blue light and turned his head to and fro.The air became still and heavy as if it too could sense the tension. Vandark closed his eyes and focused his breathing sending a psychic wave in all directions trying to locate the source of the feeling.

" Over there..." Methu-Selah pointed at the farther side of the hallway.

A noise echoed from the location halfway between a snarl and a hiss. The sound of scratching like something was crawling on the walls in the dark echoed softly as whatever it was moved. Methu-Selah and Vandark noticed a being coming from a distance. It was a tall male African metal snake being who confronted them.

Vandark aimed his flashlight at the creature and loudly exclaimed, " Lookout!! It's a Kobold! "

" You have come to dessstroy! " the being indignantly spoke in a thick African accent.

Methu-Selah indignantly glared at the being and thought of reverting back into his true form. Vandark hit the snake man with the green light from his crystal flash light levitating it through a wall with nasty force.

" Kobolds do not live in this region...or talk...I want to study this one, " he said when the flashlight started to sputter forcing Vandark to smack it back on the stupid thing.

" My evil brothers made an experiment on this one..." the blue cat man replied.

The African snake man tackled Vandark as he was ready to bite him. Suddenly, Methu-Selah instantly grabbed his legs as the man yelled in pain that a Kree-Faunus man could break metal.

" You..dessspicable! "

" I won't let you do that to my friend..." he sternly spoke.

Vandark reached into his left pants pocket and pulled out a silver gauntlet and in one fluid motion put it on his left hand. Then, he grabbed the snake man's tail with the gauntlet and slammed him hard on his face.

" What did they combine with you, poor creature? Your body shares similarities with a race called the elevention. You remind me of a Kobold/ Metallion. Odd mix of DNA. "

" How did you know?! What do you want from me? Who are you people? " the snake man felt apprehensive from the two men in front of him. " You ssshould sssstay away from me before I hurt you! "

" We are not those enemies. We are friends. " Methu-Selah replied. " I'm sorry if I crushed your legs..."

" I know... I'm ssorry too. I thought you were those people from the Rebel Forcesss... I am a ssslave... I don't want to be with them anymore! "

Vandark studied the creature's body tapping on certain parts of the chest and shoulders causing metallic thunks. " What metal is that? It seems familiar but not...fascinating."

" Vibranium... I am originally from Wakanda..."

Vandark tapped two more spots with a skeptical look and asked, " Are you sure about that? Doesn't feel quite right, it feels more like an alloy than pure Vibranium."

" Thosse blue people and the lizardssss... They made me like thissss..They turned me into a weapon....They sssstole Vibranium and everything in my country... King T'Challa isss long dead... Pleasse, I need your help. I don't want to be like thissss anymore! "

" So, they made you into a killing machine? " Methu-Selah added.

" Yess...I killed a lot of sslavess and innocent people, even my fellow Wakandanss.. I don't want to do thessse anymore! " the Wakandan snake man cried. " Pleasse help me! "

Vandark put a reassuring hand on the Wakandan snake man's shoulder and replied, " If you come back with me to my lab, I can try to help you. I'm not sure if there is much that can be done though."

" Where ssshould I go? " he asked.

" France, " Methu-Selah replied.

" How sshould we get there? "

Vandark attached the red crystal to his flashlight but the device kept sputtering light faintly. Then, he pulled out a screw driver and began tinkering with his flashlight.

" Yeah... no... that won't be an option..."

" I will not go with you? "

" Normally, I'd just flash us there but this thing is acting up. I wouldn't want to demolecule us by mistake. It looks like we are going to have to go to France the long way... I will help you if I can though."

" Well, I can fly you two from there..." Methu-Selah suggested.

"Really? He looks quite heavy..." Vandark remarked.

" It doesn't matter to me at all, " the blue cat Faunus man grinned and illuminated his body into his true form. The two men closed their eyes and then they saw the blue Kree man with a long silvery-white hair.

" Wait, you are? " the Wakandan snake man paused in shock.

" Just keep quiet, young man..." the Kree Eternal shushed.

Vandark sighed, " Is that still a no on studying your cosmic powers? Picture what I can do with such knowledge."

" Well, do you want to go to France or not? " Methu-Selah gave them a suggestive look and instantly carried the two, flying away from Ethiopia. " Look, time is running out. We should not waste every millisecond of it. "

Vandark nodded no furiously when he got grabbed by the Kree man along with the Wakandan. They were surprised to see him doing so when they flew farther away from Africa and reached the dark clouds.
The paranormal scientist recalled Amnon's sudden action back in Ukraine when he realized that Methu-Selah had the same determination along with his son. He smiled and understood the Kree Eternal's action.

" Are we going there? " the Wakandan man asked.

" Yes, " the Kree Eternal nodded.

" I see..." he replied. " I want you to sshare my sstory, firssst... I wass a Wakandan army lieutenant and sserving for King T'Challa fifty yearsss ago. My fellow ssoldierss died in battle between the Kree and the Lizardssss. I wass about to face my death and taken away. I didn't know what happened to me...Until I ended up like thisss. They ssaid they put me into a deep sssleep and trained me to become a killing weapon for Africa... I have killed a lot of people for sseveral yearss. Now, you found me... I don't want to get involved in taking down livess anymore..."

Vandark sadly sighed on hearing a story from the former Wakandan soldier and deeply thought about it. Then he continued listening and looked at him with concern.

" I don't know what happened to my parents. If they are still living, can you help me find them after this? "

The paranormal scientist instinctively reached for a candy bar in his jacket pocket only to once again find nothing and solemnly replied, " We will do what we can."

" All right, then. "

The three reached the mansion in Rouen, France and landed safely.Jusis Vandark pressed his right hand on the wall enveloping his hand in red light.

" Just shutting the security off. I just had it upgraded.." he smiled comfortingly. " Ah, but they used Hellvanite. I'm more than sure the machine will work now. Hellvanite is easy to work with."

" I have never been here..." the Wakandan snake man said.

" You still have more time to see everything, young man. "

" My real name is Masssud Luki, " he replied. " Thossse enemiesss gave me a falssse name, " Metal Loyde. "

" You mean, Masud? "

" Yessss...." Masud nodded and turned to Vandark. " So, what issss exactly are you going to do? "

The paranormal scientist reached into his minifridge and grabbed a mallock time brand candy bar. He unwrapped and began to hungrily munch it.

" I'm going to run your body through some tests. If all the tests check out I will then run you through a machine in my lab called the God Complex machine. It separates foreign DNA from a person, " he answered.

" Interesssting..." Masud slightly smiled.

" I believe this is how my son awakened his Kree genes, " Methu-Selah inspected the machine.

" You have a ssson, ssir? "

" Yes, he has been missing for a long time.." the Kree Eternal replied.

" I sssee.. then. You might be missing him very much, " Masud nodded and understood when he looked at the machine. " When I return to normal, I will go home to Wakanda and find my family there. I hope they are all right. "

" Eventually, you will, Masud. "

" Thank you. "

The machine had a symbol of the letter A reflected in black and white with a halo over the fire. Jusis Vandark pointed to the symbol of the A.

" I have seen this symbol on some old ruins in England dating back to 600 AD, " he said.

" I have never sseen anything like it..."

" That was a long time ago, Masud. "

Vandark leaned back in his swivel chair when the two men listened to his explanation. Masud became more interested in what he had heard.

" Apparently, this kingdom was super advanced using steam power and humanoid clockwork machines. No one knows what happened to the kingdom, only that it was toppled in a single week by some dark force. "

" So, what sshould I do with this? " the Wakandan snake man curiously asked and carefully inspected the machine.

" Well first, I have to figure out what alloy they merged you with. The metallic thunk from earlier when I tapped on your body was not just only Vibranium, " Vandark answered, grabbed a scanning tool, and began to scan the Wakandan's body. Then, he tapped some buttons on the god complex machine making it whir and cackle on. " Knowing the alloy is important since it will help me recalibrate the machine. "

" All right, then..." he nodded.

The machine dinged as a scanning light upon Masud and then it dinged again printing a paper document. The Wakandan snake man curiously raised his eyebrows and turned to the Kree Eternal as he wondered what and why it dinged. Vandark grabbed the document excitedly.

" Odd! " he exclaimed and laughed. " I had no clue it could do that! "

" What iss it? " Masud asked.

" A fact sheet," Vandark replied and eagerly looked the document over, two words were in English, Hellvanite and Vibranium. " Written in such dead language as the Vikings."

" Wait, ssso thosse invaderss put me Vibranium and the other metal? Thiss iss unacceptable! " the Wakandan snake man cried and facepalmed to his dismay. The Kree Eternal felt sorry to the young mutated soldier as he lost his humanity and dignity. " Now, I realized why they put me into deep sssleep....Thisss iss so unfair! "

Vandark gently patted the Wakandan lizard's back, smiled comfortingly, and said, " Ah, but they used Hellvanite and Vibranium. I'm more than sure the machine will work now. Then, they are easy to work with."

" How will it work? Will I ever go back to normal? " the Wakandan snake man curiously asked.

" Well, it failed to do to the boy, Amnon, what I originally thought it would. Instead of removing the lizard it gave him radiant hands. To tell the truth, I'm not 100% certain if it may work fully on you. The technology is rather old, " he answered.

" Perhaps, I could help..." Methu-Selah replied and turned to Vandark. " My son has turned his recessive Kree genes into a dominant one. He needs only me to help him out. But for Masud, I can give out my energy to support your machine, Jusis. This poor young man needs his life back. "

Vandark grabbed a wrench and nodded when he looked at the equipment. " Then, I'm going to rework the machine. I do not feel good enough as a mechanic to do that on my own."

" I'll try to emit my energy, " he pointed out to the crystal.

" I would've loved to meet the inventor of this machine. Sadly, he must be dead by now, even with the machine's original purpose."

" Perhaps, let me try this one..."

Vandark backed away as his pen in his jacket pocket vibrated and said, " Hold on I have to take this..."

" Go ahead.. "

The paranormal scientist pulled out a sheet of paper and placed his pen on it. The pen began to write utter gibberish. Masud and Methu-Selah waited for him to finish. They both exchanged glances and turned to him. Vandark noted their looks when he was about to explain.

" It's the language of dreams. It wont make sense until I sleep. Psychic messages, " he said.

" Well, what sshould we do then? " Masud asked.

Vandark smiled and nodded, " You first, then that."

"' Sso, sshould I enter thisss chamber? "

Vandark pulled three big vials of various liquids red,blue and gold and placed them in the machine making it steam and hiss as its buttons changed color.

" Ready..."

" Ready. "

Masud entered the chamber and sat down. Methu-Selah illuminated his both hands with blue light and held the machine. Finally, the Wakandan soldier would return to his normality anytime soon. The pen was still writing, its pace quickening. As it neared the end, it drew a strange symbol of a skull eating itself wearing a headdress. Masud widened his eyes in shock when his metallic skin slowly began to shed away from his body. It was slowly returning to his own dark skin. The sharp reptilian claws were diminishing and returning into his human fingers.

It made a strange noise as the process finished, a flame lit in a chamber projecting a black and white video like image with subtitles of a white male with blond hair and green eyes in Viking gear,a lab coat and wrench in his hand. The message flashed on the holographic flash.

" This is the second time my machine has been used improperly. This machine is for the use of genetic fixing only. Small imperfections only. Please refer to the Aviric Ganjo handbook on epigenetics. Your current actions are going to break the machine. "

Finally, Masud returned to his normality, but he was leaving the machine, naked. He appeared to be a tall bald dark skinned man in his late twenties. Even though it was a recording, it happened to be a black and white image. The man's eyes followed the Kree Eternal and the young Wakandan no matter where in the room they were.

" This machine was designed by... For the use of the nation of Aviric Ganjo... 600 AD. All rights reserved."

" This is amazing! " he exclaimed and wept for joy. " Thank you! Thank you! "

The recorded holographic display and message ended. Vandark recorded the playback in his hand mirror and returned his attention to the Wakandan man.

" I'm free! I'm free! Thank you so much! " Masud happily beamed. " This is a miracle! "

" You're naked....Masud..." Methu-Selah reminded and gently poked the man's shoulders.

" Oh, no...." the Wakandan man blushed to his embarrassment.

Vandark threw a can of spray at Masud while covering his eyes and said, " A spray on clothes, nanotechnology. I picked up the idea from Stark. Sadly all I have left is lab clothes spray. I hope he's still alive. "

" Thank you..." Masud smiled.

Vandark was replaying the black and white holographic recording on his hand mirror. He was intently listening and reading the message being played.

" The creator finally revealed, huh? He seems familiar but not, " he muttered.

" Well, if he does not want to use the machine again, " Methu-Selah said. " That's fine with me, at least we saved a young man's life."

Vandark poured a bowl of banana pudding and chopped two gram crackers in half as he prepared a rotisserie turkey in the back of his lab. The young Wakandan man was surprised to see the food which he had known was scarce for this problematic era. He approached the paranormal scientist and raised his eyebrows.

" Wait, where did you get those? " Masud curiously asked. " The Kree and the Lizards took our food away. How come you have those? "

Vandark aimed his flashlight at a wall hitting it dead center with a red light revealing a storage facility that was in another dimension.

" Interdimensional storage. Freezer and pantry."

" Weird. I don't understand. Where does it come from? "

Vandark shifted his eyes around the room and shrugged, " I have no idea how far the storage goes,how deep or the variety of stuff in there."

" Did the Rebel Forces help you for this? " he asked.

" It's always just kind of been there. I have no idea how long or why. I discovered it by accident. The food replenishes itself every week."

" It must have been the Rebel Forces who stole and kept the food, " Methu-Selah said when Vandark began mixing mashed potatoes and stuffing.

"I don't care where it comes from as long as it is delicious. Stay for dinner, Masud? "

" I have not eaten for days, " the Wakandan sadly sighed and felt weak, while his stomach was loudly grumbling.

Vandark activated some big beaker heaters and began rotating the turkey on a spit." I'm making a famous recipe rustic turkey with cheddar mashed potatoes, turkey stuffing and a side of range corn, " he replied with a smile. "I would have made dessert but could not find a decent brand of pie."

" Thank you..."

Suddenly, a long haired elderly mutant man entered the laboratory and noticed the three men eating. Gladius Fernal was heavily panting and looked tired when Methu-Selah turned to him.

" Gladius, what's wrong? " the Kree Eternal asked.

" That strange lizard almost killed me! " the mutant spoke.

" Where? "

" At the forest. "

" How did it know I have been found? "

" I think you should transform to your other self, before it's too late. "

" Right. "

Vandark looked at the mutant, held up pictures of different types of lizard men, and asked, " Which type of strange lizard? "

" It's not like SCP 682, but it's a stronger one and has the ability to change color. Then, he has some gold trimmings, " Gladius described. " He calls himself Kadoom.

Then, he found and held up a picture of a lizard man wearing gold attire from the Aztecs, " Is this him? "

" Yes, " he nodded.

" Well, good news and bad news. He is not a spirit, that's the good news. The bad news is you clashed with a Quaziquatle an alien....a dangerous alien," Vandark explained.

" Yeah, he's looking for the Kree Eternal. That's what he said, " Gladius replied.

The Kree-Faunus man appeared after transforming back, " Well, perhaps, this disguise can do. "

Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from outside the mansion. It was from the trees coming to the garden.

" SWORN ENEMY OF THE QUAZI QUATLE HAND OVER METAL LOYDE! " a loud male voice echoed.

" Gladius, Jusis, hide Masud, " Methu-Selah lowly spoke.

" Got it, " Vandark and Fernal nodded as they took the Wakandan away.

" KADOOM DOESN'T WISH TO TAKE LONG. SUMMONERS ARE NOT PATIENT..."

A fireball shook the mansion with a small explosion as Vandark entered a security code in a rush. Gladius joined him as Masud had gone away from trouble. The others heard the loud noise and got alarmed.

" Great Pama, this should be one of the worst encounters..." the disguised Kree Eternal thought.

" RARGH! THE TARGET DOES NOT SMELL THE SAME....WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! "

Just from the outside, Elder Carol Danvers stood behind the door and crossed her arms. She looked at the attacker from a distance and readied herself to fight. Kadoom snickered at her as his tail flicked back and forth.

" Battle is no place for you, old woman, " he said. " It is a rival male Kadoom seek...stand aside..."

" You have to face me, first young man...." she sternly replied.

The old woman blasted the lizard with her illuminating fists. Kadoom caught himself with his left hand, raised his right hand and fired three paralysis darts at her in retaliation. She quickly dodged the paralysis darts and blasted him down.The gem on Kadoom's belt glowed as his body became reflective like glass. Kadoom then charged at her claws drawn. She blasted him again, but this time the blast got deflected to the right where it blew a hole through a tree.

" You are not the target, " the reptilian snarled. " Stand down, before Kadoom hurt you! "

" Well, first of all, I have my seventh sense and cosmic awareness that you're looking for someone, " she replied. " I'm not letting you do that. "

" Pay back reflection..."

Kadoom opened glass mirrors around Carol and tried to hit her with four versions of her own attack. Carol blasted the mirrors as the reflections had disappeared. Methu-Selah or Methuselah Belladonna watched them fighting. Kadoom breathed blue fire in Carol's direction then breathed fire on himself absorbing it

" Mirror dimension..."

" Miss Danvers, get out of here! " the Kree-Faunus man yelled.

Carol quickly dodged the attacks from Kadoom as Methu-Selah was contemplating to revert and fight. Mirrors opened up behind her as flames roared out at her.

" Pay back reflection! "

The Kree Faunus man quickly tackled her, avoiding the attacks.

" Get down! " he cried.

" Methie, you could have..." she paused and blushed.

" Don't blow my cover, okay? " he whispered.

Kadoom sniffed the air and asked, growing more and more complex, " You smell strange. Are you going to fight Kadoom, too? Why fight for the sake of one man? Foolish..."

" Look, I just want to ask something," Methu-Selah stood up, asked and scratched his beard, pretending to be oblivious. " Why are you here? I don't even know what you're doing? Who are you looking for? I need some answers, you know. "

" Kadoom is part of the retrieval team, looking for experiment that never came home."

" Hmmm... What experiment? "

Kadoom growled in frustration, " Don't play stupid! Kadoom can smell the metal. Kadoom is just perplexed by something..."

" I don't see metal here, seriously? " the disguised Kree Eternal shrugged. " You have been mistaken..."

He ignored the disguised Kree Eternal's remark and continued talking when his eyes narrowed in suspicion.

" The smell goes through the air for a good while before stopping near the ground nearby. Flying is not on Metal Loyde's list of powers and it would take someone rather strong to carry one so heavy..."

" Look, I don't know what you are saying. Secondly, I didn't see anyone carrying metal earlier. Why don't you go elsewhere and find whom you are seeking for. "

" Kadoom's nose does not lie, Old Man! You're trying too hard to get Kadoom to leave! "

" Well, you don't even understand a single word, do you?! " the Kree-Faunus man loudly laughed. Carol watched the disguised Kree Eternal diverting the attacker's attention. " I wonder why Kasius has recruited an idiot, like you! "

Kadoom's gem turned black as his body changed to a shadow. Kadoom raised his left hand and opened a shadow portal summoning three lizard guards.

" Enough stalling, " Kadoom angrily hissed. " Show usss...what you're hiding...that's an order."

" Me? hiding?! " he gave the lizard a hardy laugh. " No...you gotta be kidding me! "

" Go ahead, Methie. Divert that freak! " Carol smirked and watched them.

The disguised Kree Eternal glared at the three guards which he was ready to fight. The three guards jumped onto the mansion and began crawling all over it sniffing as Kadoom charged the Kree Eternal. Methu-Selah instantly punched Kadoom's gut and sent him flying. He stood up and turned around to see the other people in the mansion. Kadoom's body rippled as he reached out with a giant shadow hand and grabbed the Kree-Faunus man around the waist, spinning his arms to his side. Suddenly, the bright lights on the side of the mansion kicked on making the lizard shriek and drop the blue skinned feline man. Kadoom's gem turned red as he grew wings and lost his shadow complexion as he flew back where the lights dimmed and glared angrily at the mansion.

The intercom system kicked on with a cackle as vandark spoke and taunted, " Ooh, you were using a nightgarian body! That's clever, but this mansion has defenses against the supernatural! I've already taken care of your friends."

" Nice one, Jusis, " the blue cat man spoke in telepathy.

The Kree Eternal secretly blasted the lizards using his pointing finger and sent them falling. Kadoom flew at the Methu-Selah and summoned his laser battle axe to his hand.

" Kadoom is done playing games with you..." Kadoom smiled evilly and swung his axe at the disguised Kree Eternal with glee.

" Look, you have wasted your damn time, imbecile. The best thing you can do is to leave, " he sternly replied.

" Killing is never a waste of time! "

" Don't tell me you have harshly abused someone on your end...." the blue cat Faunus man secretly read the lizard's mind and crossed his arms. " Is the Kree Eternal's son whom you have been dealing with before you ended up here? Secondly, are you looking for his father, as well? He's not here, either. "

Kadoom stopped mid-swing, the blade stopping an inch from Methu-Selah's face. Then, he set the axe down with a thud.

" What do you know about the Kree Eternal and the child? "

" It's a rumor which I have heard from these people, " Methu-Selah shrugged. " My question is have you dealt with the child? "

Carol overheard the conversation as she remembered leaving Amnon from the slave den. The elderly half-Kree woman got concerned to hear more.

Kadoom sneered and answered, " Kadoom teach ignorant child lesson in humility. Not child's fault though, not sound of mind...even with a mighty hammer. "

Methu-Selah glared at the lizard as he knew something was wrong with Amnon. The blue cat Faunus man shrugged it off and decided to play along.

" Oh, the Kree Eternal will be very angry if he finds out about that, " he chuckled.

Kadoom nodded sadly " Child is brainwashed, but he is still capable of being himself. If he tries, fake self strong. His true self weak, but true of heart. "

" You got it all wrong...." Methu-Selah replied and sighed. " That hybrid boy is the next Kree Eternal after his father. "

" In fact, I have adopted him as my son..." Carol added.

" Kadoom don't envy the child, then. Dark forces already want him...a sad existence. "

" I knew you did something wrong to him. I'm asking you to leave him alone! " the elderly woman cried.

Kadoom leered in her direction, chuckled darkly, and asked, " Why? What is he to you? Okay...who are you? You smell funny....but you smell similar to that child...who is he...to you?! "

" Just a friend of the Kree Eternal, " Methu-Selah replied. " He is asking me to deal with you first. By the way, I do not tolerate what you have done to this woman here. "

" I'm his mother! Please leave the boy, alone! " Carol added.

" It's not Kadoom he has to worry about. Kadoom feel bad for your son's current predicament. This mission has been interesting. I can deal with the loss of the amorceed prototype for now. Kadoom has more interesting news for the boss now anyways."

" Just leave us alone! " the elderly half-Kree woman yelled.

" Kadoom will leave for now. You're not on my mission plans, " the lizard smiled and turned his head half way with a dark look. " Kadoom knows who you are now. Kadoom may be back later to collect the idiot scientist. The boss has interest in him."

" I'll protect Vandark and the others, " Carol whispered to the Kree-Faunus. " You go deal with him. "

Methu-Selah nodded and turned to the lizard, " Look, you have been wasting your time again. I suggest you need to leave. "

Kadoom activated his return beacon and began to levitate into the sky " Gone as the wind Kadoom is...but back maybe Kadoom shall be. Not as dumb as you think. "

" Idiot...." Methu-Selah angrily muttered.

Kadoom vanished and entered hyperspace. The two remained on the grounds and watched the skies.

" Isn't that interesting? " he asked his gem which turned blue then pink. " Yes, Kadoom think so too. We will keep it to ourselves for now. Only we will know..." The gem turned black then orange " Leverage against Kasius if things hit the jet. "

Kadoom returned to New York City in Kasius's lair when the Mad Kree tyrant crossed his arms.

" What took you so long? " he gave the lizard a suspicious look when Kadoom bowed in reverence to the overlord.

" Kadoom is sure they did something to the prototype metal soldier we made. Well that scientist, Vandark. Whatever they did, the scent is gone."

" I have never heard of that man before...." Kasius replied. " Is this the one who allies with the Kree Eternal and the Rebel Forces? "

Kadoom nodded, " Yes, a nuisance and genius in a bunch of fields including the supernatural and genetics. "

" Hmmmm, I'm thinking that pseudo-682's Kree powers got unleashed by him. Am I right? "

" Yes, Kadoom believe that's what the reports say, he has access to the Foundation technology and resources, maybe a former member of said group."

" I have heard of the Foundation from my most reliable men, " the Kree tyrant spoke and furiously facepalmed. " But that stupid Kree-682 accuser I have taken is an experiment, I could have dispatched him right away. Have you dealt with his father or his adoptive mother? "

Kadoom's gem projected the image of Elders Carol Danvers, Jusis Vandark and an unknown blue skinned Cat Faunus. Kasius intently looked at them and scratched his chin.

" Encountered these three on a mission. Good fighters, awfully chatty about child accuser. "

" Now, do you know who the Kree-Faunus man is? Any idea of him? "

Kadoom lied carefully when the gem changed hologram to a mansion in France, " Nothing, but suspicion and random guesses. He did not seem important to the mission at hand so Kadoom eventually left and tried very hard to take Kadoom away from here."

" Hmmm, I'm thinking that is the Kree Eternal in disguise..." Kasius replied. " Have you tried to reveal who he really is?! "

Kadoom twitched slightly but calmed himself when Kasius sternly glared at the lizard. The blue tyrant needed more answers and truths from what his other accuser had said.

" Attacked him and he did nothing, but punch Kadoom weakly and dodge...are you sure it's him? "

" He wears various disguises... You idiot! " he violently slapped Kadoom's scaly face. " You are not even aware who he really is! "

Kadoom grabbed Kasius by the throat and began to choke him while holding him off the ground.

" Keep your hands to yourself, worm! I am Kadoom, not a grunt! " he indignantly spoke.

Kasius quickly grabbed the lizard's hand and angrily yelled, " Y-you are such an...IDIOT! Now, do your job to kill him. UNDERSTOOD?! Don't be like that stupid and futile Kree Eternal's son! I ordered you to kill him! Now, go back and take him, Is that difficult?! "

The lizard became more rattled than ever when he brought down the tyrant. Kasius heavily sighed,crossed his arms and sternly looked at Kadoom. " I order you to return and sort this. I will report to your headmistress of what you have done. "

Kadoom nodded and crossed his arms, his tail flicked right as he got an idea and asked, " Can Kadoom borrow experiment 92 for once? "

" Well, you might use this one...." he replied and took his equipment.

Kadoom shrugged " The Kree Eternal, Kadoom can handle, but if you expect Kadoom to go against him, the scientist, and the old woman in one location, then the power disrupter gauntlets could give me the upper hand, Kadoom need to succeed."

" Now, do it right! Basha and I are expecting results from you..."

Kadoom grinned and licked his lips with his snake-like tongue. Then, he respectfully bowed at the tyrant as Kasius became more annoyed.

" It's going to be delicious carnage, Boss. "

" Now... Go...."

Kadoom bowed again as he left an evil smile on his face. Kasius sighed heavily and thought, " I hope he makes it right..."

(Rouen, France)

After the encounter with Kadoom, Carol sat alone on the bed in her son's room and thought of what happened to Amnon back in the slave den. She was sleepless and silent, remembering those words from the attacker. Vandark and Methu-Selah were still talking, as the Kree Eternal looked at his female friend and sensed her anxious mind. The paranormal expert stopped talking and looked in her direction, entering the room with Methu-Selah.

" Something in your mind, Ms. Danvers? " he asked.

" I wondered how Amnon has been doing these days...." she sadly spoke and looked at the window, showing the clear starry night sky. " I hope he's still thinking of me and Methu-Selah. "

" I'm sure he is, " Vandark sincerely smiled and patted her on the back reassuringly. " We will get him back. He can't be fully gone, he is too strong for that. I know he has his ways to reunite with you. "

" I hope, Methie can see him very soon..."

Vandark pondered for a second and snapped his fingers, " What about the mirror of Lozantos Veri? "

" Well, what is that? "

Vandark bolted from the room and went into a storage unit two rooms over, after five minutes of rustling and banging. Then he returned with a giant mirror on wheels. Its surface was a brilliant white platinum like metal adorned with jewels and inscription that read Highperior stairway in Latin. Carol curiously looked at the object when Methu-Selah sat down on the chair.

" How does it work? " she asked when Vandark also sat down and poured some tea.

" Not entirely sure. The information I found says upon a Highperior's touch I grant Highperior sight. I'm guessing it's a spying mirror of some kind. I could never get it to work though. "

" I hope this will work..."

Vandark pointed to Methu-Selah and said, " I have a feeling it might work for him only. He alone in this room meets the minimum requirements of a highperior. The Highperior were beings of great power like Galactus that once existed all over. A war between them wiped out a good 98% of them."

" Well, Galactus has once eaten a world before, " the Kree Eternal loudly laughed and joked. " Too much craving has been with him! What a glutton he is! "

" This mirror was locked away in a vault and labeled cursed. The Foundation once had a being calling itself god that warned them not to ever use it. They ignored the being but the mirror would not work for them. You might be fair differently though, Methu."

" I want to see my son using this mirror, first, " Methu-Selah replied and approached the mirror as it suddenly booted on to everyone's surprise.

" Connecting to the network... Network found...Welcome Methu-Selah to the Highperior network monitoring the reality since 12 Voiridian. What do you seek? " the male voice said.

" Where on Hala did you come from? " he asked.

A man in robes appeared on the screen and became perplexed at what the Kree Eternal had said.

" I'm sorry I cannot process Hala... what voidrant is Hala in? "

" Planet Hala, my homeworld in the Pama system, Large Magellanic Cloud Galaxy, " Methu-Selah sighed to his embarrassment. " It's just my expression, I'm sorry. "

" I see. Hala, center of the Kree Empire, " the robed man smiled, sat down, and meditated. " Incoming data... Multiverse detected....Updating map and clock... Updating databases of known life forms and beings.... wait time 12 hours..."

" 12 hours. This is ridiculously frustrating. I need to know what's happening to my son! That's all, " the Kree Eternal exasperatedly thought and answered. " No, what I mean is my son's whereabouts, I'm sorry..."

The robed man gazed up from meditation as a thumb print scanner appeared on the glass. " Kree, Please allow for source DNA scan. "

" All right, then..." he nodded no furiously and followed the instruction by placing his thumb. It took minutes for the male imagery to scan until the mirror dinged.

" One result was found in quadrant 65,11,42. Amnon-Selah. Is this the one you seek? "

" Yes, how did you know his location? " he asked.

The robed figure nodded then the screen got static. Carol and Vandark shared glances and kept listening to the conversation.

" Hmmm, odd. I'm trying to get near him, but I'm getting some kind of interference, " the man said.

" Tell me, what kind? "

" It's coming from a source similar to a...hmmm...infinity stone....but not time energy. Downloading patch 1 of 5, " the robed man in the mirror tried his best to get the data done which took him more time to finish until he dinged. " Patch done. Let's try that again. Approaching Amnon-Selah."

The image was static at first when the three got intrigued to what they would see. Finally, it fixed itself showing what was going on at the New York slave den. The mirror gave off an alarm and showed an image of a giant red crystal and some people involved.

" Evil entities detected..."

Methu-Selah saw his son being harshly maltreated by Kasius's guards as he was defenseless and injured. Carol and Vandark widened their eyes in shock while the hybrid yelled in pain. Then, he was being brought to the same chamber for his mind manipulation. Amnon was trying to resist and yelling at them to stop it, but he got strapped again to the equipment.

" No..." Carol wept and turned to imagery when the Kree Eternal instantly put his arms on her.

The robed man nodded in sadness and calmly spoke, " Sad affair indeed. Master Methu-Selah, are you a good, bad or neutral Highperior? I need the info for behaviour correction interface."

" Look, I understand what you're asking. I don't have much time to answer your question. My son is in trouble, right now! " the Kree Eternal sharply raised his voice. " Is that even important? I need to go out there and do something, even if it will cost my life! "

The robed man shook his head frantically and exclaimed, " No,no, no master! I wouldn't do that! There are multiple high class evils detected. We really need to make sure you're not one of them! "

" Why are you asking such irrelevant questions?! All I need is to see my son. Now, you have shown him to me! Look, I don't have time for this regardless if you're asking me for my alignment! "

" Methu, please calm down...." Vandark calmly spoke. " The system is detecting..."

" Jusis, if you're a father, how will you feel that your child is in danger? "

Vandark again looked at the imagery of Amnon still shrieking in pain from the slave den and sadly sighed. Somehow, the question from the Kree Eternal had striken him. The paranormal scientist understood what he meant. The robed man in the mirror heard the question and felt sorry for the Kree Eternal and elderly blonde woman.

" I see, then, " he nodded and looked at Carol weeping. " I will feel angry and get worried about the danger he has been experiencing. I will think and do the same thing as you are planning. "

" I'm sorry for asking you that question earlier, master. I understood what you're saying, " the robed man empathized and nodded. " But they want you. Why are you handing yourself over by risking a full frontal assault?"

" They have my son..." the Kree Eternal heavily sighed and seriously replied. " I will risk my life to save him. It's been fifty years since I have been searching for him. The Foundation never allowed me to get near him and contained him until he escaped. I understand he has been looking for me, too. I thanked Jusis, Carol, and the others who helped him along the way. I just want to be with him before I end my life here on Earth.

" Methie..." Carol muttered and tightly hugged him. " Please bring him back! "

" I will, Carol. I promise to bring him back. "

The robed man in the mirror sadly sighed and silently sat down when he heard the couple. He thought of a suggestion and waited some minutes for them to pacify. Suddenly, he glowed and dinged to call their suggestion.

" May I suggest using the cave system to get around? It's a better solution."

" Look, I had been with the boy back in Ukraine and here in France. His father and I rescued another person back in Ethiopia, " Vandark replied and scratched his beard. " How come there's a cave system since the Kree and the Lizards have hindered such ways of transportation?"

" Natural caves and deep ones at that. They seem to have been missed in the sweep. "

" Hmmm..." the paranormal scientist took Amnon's journals and read them thoroughly by flipping every page. " Amnon had been hiding in caves and forests. I'm not even sure if there are caves going to New York since we are situated in France. If we go trans-Atlantic, there's an underground railroad from Paris to London. But New York? "

" It's several thousand miles from here, " Carol rubbed her eyes and calmly spoke. " I know. I have been there with Mai. "

" Hold on...." the man in the mirror began loading information.

" Wait, a second...." the elder Paranormal scientist snapped his fingers when he flipped a page on Amnon's journal written in Russian with some sketches of a trans-Atlantic undersea railroad from London to New York. " Methu, did your son do this? "

" Hmmm, yes, " the Kree Eternal intently checked his son's notes, translated them, and read aloud in English. " Alexei just mentioned to me sometime ago about an underwater train from London to New York. I asked him how is that possible? He just explained to me it would be an extension from the UK-France route. It takes days to go to America by crossing the Atlantic Ocean, however that project was postponed because of the Kree-Lizard invasion. It never came true to travel to America from Europe and back and forth. "

" Sounds unfortunate, but true. "

" That was the initial project way back, " Carol continued. " The United States, United Kingdom, and France were supposed to begin with that trans-Atlantic undersea railroad, fifty-five years ago. They proposed a multi-Billion dollar project, but it failed. "

" Could someone have picked the project in secret? " the robed man curiously asked.

" Well, Kasius's father had taken on that project. That had started the slavery, but many of them died in drowning. So, it's really impossible to continue that underground trans-Atlantic travel. "

The room was silent for a moment when the robed man in the mirror showed the information that the trans-Atlantic railroad had been postponed for good.

" So, is this the one which you are referring to? " he queried.

" Well, that was a long time ago, " Carol sadly sighed. " No one ever dared to go there after that. It was already abandoned. "

" So, there is no point reviving it? "

" Yes, " Vandark nodded.

" Anything else? " Carol asked.

The mirror ran some tracking and said, " I did though find some slave dens and locate several weaknesses in their construction and security. "

" New York City..." she muttered.

" Three slave dens currently showing occupation in New York. "

" Not just construction, production, and tournament. They have set out some prostitutes as well. "

Vandark sadly sighed, slapped his forehead, and recalled those days in Kiev with Amnon, " Right. I know. Slaves are everywhere. "

" Well, at times like this, it is normal, Jusis, " Carol said.

" Oh, yes. I meant to ask, does this symbol flag mean anything to you? " he asked, holding up a small flag of a fist sporting brass knuckles with spikes on fire. " They have been popping up at slave dens throughout Europe. The slave dens are in ruins too and that's not all. There's also the carnage at these sites. "

" If I recall correctly from Amnon's stories, he saw that as a symbol of the Kree-Lizard occupied areas. He said that the flag serves as a marker that an authorized person can only penetrate. It's also showing that it's a hazard district. "

Jusis walked over to the mirror and ordered, " Show her what you showed me 2 minutes ago. "

The mirror showed a slave den in a nearby city destroyed outright with ripped in half lizards and Kree heads and bodies on pile along with other disturbing violent things done to the invaders.

" Such violence! What or who could do that?! " Vandark exclaimed in shock.

" Is this in Italy? " Methu-Selah asked and saw the Italian slaves got terrified.

" If only Amnon were here with us, he wouldn't like to see this one, " Carol sadly spoke.

The mirror spoke in riddles, " When crushing skulls, none can run from the duo who thinks violence fun. Pain is their cup of tea, their violent acts sickening to see. "

" The slaves also got killed, " Vandark sadly spoke and saw the deceased slaves being scattered.

" Not all, but some got out, " the robed man spoke. " This was done in anger towards the invaders. "

" Who did it? " Carol asked.

" Searching..." the mirror ran a search when the symbol of a crown appeared on the screen along with a password screen " Odd. The network is asking for security credentials in the Kree language. "

" Where exactly in Italy? "

" Searching.... Florence..Downtown."

" Oh, goodness..." the paranormal scientist muttered.

" I guess I need to find out who, " the Kree Eternal sternly spoke.

The robed man in the mirror shuddered, " Good luck. You're going to need it against them."

" We'll just stay here, Methie, " Carol said.

" Just take care of yourself, my friend, " Vandark added.

" I will. "

The mirror flashed some instructions in Italian as the Kree Eternal carefully read and understood. Methu-Selah had left France for Italy and flew up to the skies. Seeing such disasters, he saw how terrible had happened on the border between two countries. Suddenly, he landed into the streets of Florence and illuminated himself, disguising again as the rugged blue cat man. He turned around and was surprised to see so many deaths. Then, he noticed some Italian slaves had been running along and shouting in their native tongue. A destroyed army vehicle sailed through the air almost hitting a man in a general's uniform who was throwing balls of fire at unseen targets down the street.

" What on Hala is that?! " the disguised Kree Eternal thought. " He might detect me for something. I'd better play along..."

A laser light from a gun appeared on the general's forehead as a gunshot nailed him in the head knocking him back.

" Argh! Cheap shot! Fight me like a man, you cowards! " the man yelled.

Methu-Selah took a Kree pistol from the ground and thought of defending himself when someone dared to attack him. He looked around and saw a group of Italian slaves fleeing around.

The general sputtered and summoned missiles out of thin air, " Snuffing out my fire wont snuff out the power of war, the destructive eternal."

Then, he fired the missiles at the buff man who caught them and threw them back surrounding the general in detonations. The remaining Kree and Lizard soldiers cowered and ran away as Methu-Selah noticed them. The general fell to his knees out of breath as the buff man picked him up by his army uniform, " You should have stayed home war...I'm going to have to hurt you now, hehehe! "

" I regret this invasion! Methu-Selah is right! All is stupid! " he yelled. " I surrender! "

The buff man giggled and turned to his partner, " Did you hear that recon? He surrenders. "

Another man walked out of the shadows wielding modified handguns.

" That's rich coming from him. Send him home, Sin. I want to return to base..." Recon said when he unhappily turned his bottle of alcohol to show it was empty. " I need a stiff one after this..."

Methu-Selah sighed heavily and saw the deaths of other people. Sin pulled his hand back and punched war hard as he exploded into nothing.

" Did you find who the Kree and Lizard leaders are? " He stretched and asked Recon when he looked half drunk.

" Huh... not only two in the area. Their network is vast, " he shrugged. " This may be beyond just us, you know. "

" Excuse me...." the disguised Kree Eternal turned to the two men and asked. " I'm a bit lost. I don't know how I can go to Rome? "

Recon drew his guns half out of it and got alarmed, " Who goes there?! "

Sin calmed him and answered, " Relax, it's just another alien. Harmless. "

" I'm just a wandering Kree-Faunus man, " Methu-Selah replied and held the pistol. " I just found this on my way here. "

" Kree? Any relation to the invading non natives currently occupying the planet?" he asked, cracking his knuckles.

" Look, I was never affiliated to those mad invaders. I can sense you are intensely mad at them, " he explained. " Secondly, I was sent by the Kree Eternal to observe the planet. Methu-Selah knows what's happening here. He wants to end his evil brothers and the Lizards' onslaught for good! "

Recon picked up his head at the mention of the Kree Eternal and nervously gulped. Sin scratched his head and raised his eyebrows at his friend and Methu-Selah.

" Blimey, Sin! Could he mean Methu-Selah the Ancient Kree who appeared on the reactivated network on this planet? "

" I don't know, mate, " Sin replied and scratched his head. " I have heard from some people that the Kree Eternal is still looking for his young bloke on this planet. It's been a long time. "

" Yes, " Methu-Selah nodded. " And he also asked me to search for the boy. Now, I need to go to Rome. Can you help me go there? "

" Why Rome of all places? " Sin asked.

Methu-Selah deeply thought and sensed some people being terrorized by Kadoom, " There's a lizard who tries to kill a lot of people. His name is Kadoom, the mad accuser. If you heard of that creature, you might want to hunt him. "

" There is a Kadoom on the list of leaders..."

" Yes, but how to get you there. We can fly, but you don't look like you can, " Sin nodded and looked at the blue-skinned Faunus man with concern.

" I can manage that, " the disguised Kree Eternal grinned and pointed at the truck parked on the street." Perhaps, a ride will do. "

The three men entered into the truck as Methu-Selah took the driver's seat. He noticed there was no key inserted at the ignition knob. Instead, he secretly illuminated his right index finger and started up the engine.

" Hah, I didn't know this four wheeler is still working! " he grinned and asked his companions. " So, are you giving me directions to go there? "

" Sure, after a bite to eat, " Sin licked his lips and nodded.

Methu-Selah raised his eyebrows in doubt and secretly read their minds, while driving. Sin pointed to a vial of red liquid that looked eerily like blood. Then, he uncorked it and drank its contents.

" Any bars on the way? " Recon asked. " I'm sobering up..."

" I don't know, " he answered. " I'm not even sure if there's one in Rome. "

Methu-Selah thought of asking the two men which he was frightened to talk, although he had remained calm and changed the topic.

" Tell me, how did you know of this powerful man from the Kree race and his son on Earth? "

" That's classified, but we heard some rumours about them," Sin responded.

" Classified, then, " the Kree-Faunus man nodded. " All right. "

Recon laughed and shrugged, " Yeah Highperior stuff! Ugh, so I'm not drunk anymore. "

Then, he hobbled around unsteady on his feet like he was severely drunk and heavily sighing, " Great,no balance! Beer...wine...anything..."

" I'm not even sure if we can find a nearby pub, " Methu-Selah sighed.

" Is there a dollar tree around here?" his fellow asked, " His body can convert even hand sanitizer. "

" This is planet Earth, there is no Dollar Tree, " the Kree Eternal answered when the vehicle was approaching Rome.

" Odd no dollar tree store or did you mean an actual dollar tree...." Sin sighed and asked. " Did they go out of business? How long have we been out on Earth?"

" You're in Italy, not in the United States, " the Kree Eternal replied. " This is the origin of the Roman Empire here on Earth. Secondly, the Kree-Lizard invasion made this planet in ruckus for five decades. "

Sin widened his eyes in shock and heard Methu-Selah's explanation when he found it too ridiculous. He couldn't believe what he had known and saw. He kept turning his head around and became more uneasy than ever, scratching his head and turning to his partner. Recon raised his eyebrows and intently looked at him, while hiccuping.

" What's wrong mate? " he asked.

" Five decades! Damn, we are late!! " Sin exclaimed in worry.

" I told you we should have taken the shuttle!! "

" The channel beam is faster..."

Recon coughed, " No, it seems faster we missed out on four decades due to delayed travel! I blame you! "

" It seems the both of you have been in trouble, " Methu-Selah raised his eyebrows as the two men turned their attention to him. " Secondly, I have read in your mind that you're not from this planet. Thirdly, you have a mission which seems obscure. "

" You can read Sin's mind?! A brick like him! " the drunkard loudly laughed.

" Yeah..." Sin said, eyeing Methu-Selah with suspicion, " We are usually not susceptible to mind reading, but how come you can do it? Who are you? "

" Methuselah Belladonna, " the disguised Kree Eternal smiled and played along. " I'm a relative of the Cat lady named Blake Belladonna-Odinson and a friend of King Thor of Asgard. "

" Okay. "

Recon sniffed the air and looked at the window, " Mmmmm, I smell wine. "

" Well, I'm not even sure if the winery is working, " Methu-Selah spoke.

Recon pointed to someone's vineyard in the fields when the truck was still roaming on the highway to Rome. Methu-Selah looked at the fields as he saw some slaves toiled throughout the evening to dawn as the Kree and Lizard slave drivers were watching them.

" Wine cellar, vineyard....still stocked," Recon said.

" You might get in trouble, again, mate..." Sin whispered to his friend.

" Worth it for booze, mate.."

" Whatever..."

Recon flew and snuck around to the vineyard to the wine cellar and pulled open the wine cellar. He went down and began drinking fast. Then he grabbed a bunch of bottles and strapped them to his suit for later.

" Oi! " Sin loudly called him out. " What are you thinking?! Those baddies get us soon! "

Recon flew back to the truck with a huge grin and returned to the seat. Methu-Selah parked the truck for a while and facepalmed to his annoyance. He sternly glared at the drunkard and heavily sighed.

" Now, I parked the truck to wait for you to enter. You just intruded on a vineyard for that?! " the blue skinned Faunus seriously spoke. " Are we going or what?! "

" Going! " Recon grinned and chuckled. " I'm thinking I'm better off in a fight drunk than sober. You know my powers don't work when I'm sober."

" Crikey... Bloody Hell, mate! Have you even got ashamed of the old blue cat driver here? " Sin added.

" Ashamed....I don't know the meaning of the word, " Recon smirked.

Sin kept looking around sniffing the air and muttering under his breath, " Guilty...guilty...guilty..."

Minutes into hours, the truck was making its way to arrive at the nation's most famous capital since ancient times. It had headed on the streets where Recon and Sin both stared at the window while the disguised Kree Eternal was still driving. They saw some abandoned centuries old structures. Some of them were still standing and the others were no longer existent.

" We're now here, " Methu-Selah reminded them. " We need to find the safest place to park this truck. "

Recon cocked his guns and asked, " You guys smell him, don't you? "

" Hmmm, Kadoom could be anywhere..." Methu-Selah answered.

Sin put on his brass knuckles and said, " Oh, he is here... I can tell."

" Well, I can sense more skirmish here than in New York, " the disguised Kree Eternal said.

" You talk funny mate! " Sin laughed and looked at the Kree Eternal.

" I'm serious..." Methu-Selah sternly spoke as Sin stopped laughing and felt embarrassed.

" He means violence and collateral damage, Sin, " Recon glared at his friend and facepalmed to his embarrassment.

" Right, right, " Sin nodded and shrugged when he licked his lips and bared his fangs. "80% of the collateral damage done is not our fault. Some villains just don't go down easy."

" Well, the overlord Kasius just made this mess and asked his minions to deal with this, " Methu-Selah spoke.

" The more minions the better, I'm parched. "

Recon opened the bottle of wine and drank when the two waited for him to speak up. Then, he lowered down his bottle by holding it and wiped his mouth using his left hand.

" So, who is this Kasius? " he asked.

" Have you heard of the Kree overlord? " Methu-Selah responded and raised his eyebrows in doubt.

Sin coughed, " No. We get told only what's relevant to the mission."

" Hmmm... Is that it?! " Methu-Selah raised his voice and eyebrows in suspicion. " You never have any clue of what's happening and entered this delicate mission. That seems to be rough work without any information and knowledge about this setting. Yet, no strategy. You just fight without any plans. How dumb is that for you to execute? "

Sin maliciously grinned and answered, " What's wrong with fighting and killing? It hasn't steered us wrong, yet. Also, we are suffering from 40 year jet lag too!!"

" I don't even know what to say. I have been dealing with a bunch of crazy idiots, tonight. I must finish my obligation with them, leave them here, and return to Ethiopia before my son meets me, " the disguised Kree Eternal angrily thought, sternly stared at the two and parked the truck near the remains of the Roman Colosseum. Then, he diverted the two by changing the topic and broke his silence, looking at the tourist attraction. " This used to be an entertainment place for your gladiators. "

Sin also stared at the Colosseum with a grin and replied, " Back in my mum's days she said this place was really rocking."

" The Kree and the Lizard race had taken its barbaric idea from this planet, like taking it as the tournament slaves and sold them to the highest bidders. "

Recon pulled up a hologram of the tournament boss and spoke, " Boss, we have our list for execution. "

" Well, not all. Remember, let the Kree Eternal's son deal with the overlord. "

" Really? " Sin asked. " Why can't we just kill them all? "

" The Kree Eternal has to meet his son first to stop the tyrant ."

" Because we are supposed to mostly be on recon not fighting, " Recon added as he was the first one to open the truck's door and left.

" Kill joy..." Sin frowned and pouted, following his friend.

" You idiots..." Methu-Selah muttered and also left the truck.

Suddenly, they heard a loud explosion from a distance. The three covered their ears and needed to protect their hearing. Few minutes later, it had ceased when they began walking around the streets of Rome. Suddenly, they found a communicator lying on the debris of rocks and cement. Methu-Selah instantly picked it up and closely inspected it. The device had lit up as a hologram of an old man with an impressive physique and wise eyes appeared. Sin and Recon recognized him when they instantly bowed.

" You guys are late! " the male voice sternly spoke. " Took the beam again. I keep telling you it's on the fritz. How many times do I have to remind you?! "

" Chief Dewitz! " the two men greeted the man's name in unison and felt ashamed to see him.

Chief Dewitz smiled and looked at Methu-Selah when he telepathically spoke, " I know who you are, Ancient Kree. Don't worry, these guys don't need to know. "

" This is my disguise at the moment. Thank you if you don't blow my cover. " he replied.

" No problem. I know they don't seem the brightest but they can be rather useful in a pinch."

" I know. Thank you. "

" Has my mirror been useful to you? " Chief Dewitz asked.

" Yes, thank you. I got myself here. "

" You've always been good at getting things done on your own. I'm more worried about that being named, Kadoom. He has been using a crystal for years. I haven't seen since the hero Xenocide dealt with its earth counterpart."

" My son has been a victim of Kadoom. I knew he was doing this to surpass him. "

" It will pass. Your son has trials of his own to deal with to become who he is supposed to be in the future," Chief Dewitz nodded at the Kree Eternal and smiled.

" I know. My only chance is to see him in Ethiopia very soon."

" Seeing him at this moment won't do much. But anyways, I'm sure you will make it happen and unite with him very soon. I know you can do it, Methu, " Chief Dewitz assured.

" Well, indeed, " Methu-Selah nodded back when Sin and Recon had no idea of what they were talking about.

" I have an agent on earth that can answer some questions about the power these Kree and Lizards use. Do what you have to and he will find you."

" Yes, please. I need to know as well, since they are under Kree influence. "

" Thank you. "

Chief Dewitz turned to the other two men and gave instructions. Waiting for them to finish, Methu-Selah heard more screaming from a distance when he thought of transforming to his true self, but he looked at the Kree and Lizards talking to Kadoom. Recon pointed at the mad lizard.

" Chief says he wants that lizard for questioning, " he reminded me. " Non lethal force may be used. He doesn't care how, but needs to get it done. Oh and try to keep the skirmish as low as possible please."

" I will, " the disguised Kree Eternal nodded and intently listened to the conversation when Kadoom was still talking at the Kree-Lizard soldiers, " So, this is the one who harmed my son and attacked the palace. Let's see what he can do. "

Sin picked up the husk of a car and gestured a hand signal to Recon who smirked, " Gotcha 23,14,63 maneuver 11."

Suddenly, they found a hiding Kree-Italian mute woman. She was blue skinned as her neck was covered with a purple scarf. Methu-Selah and the others turned their attention to her. She was making some hand signals which warned them not to go where Kadoom was found. Recon summoned his sniper rifle and jumped into a dilapidated building. The Kree woman instantly flew and grabbed the man's hand. Making a gesture of "no", she sternly glared at him. Recon signed for her to relax and explained in sign language he was not going to get close. Then, they were being ambushed by a group of Kree-Lizard forces as the woman frantically kept making signs. Methu-Selah and Sin turned around as they saw the other two being cornered. Just then, they noticed a strange looking lizard accuser who confronted them. Sin cracked his knuckles with such force several glass panes shattered nearby.

" It's him again..." the disguised Kree Eternal thought.

" Kadoom is pleased to see you all.." the lizard darkly chuckled and grinned. " You are all weak!! "

The Kree woman was frantically making signs to the other men as she was afraid to confront them on her own.

" She said he can take your lives, " Methu-Selah translated her words. " Nothing can defeat him. "

Sin picked up the husk of a rotting car and threw it at the cocky lizard. Kadoom was not affected and threw the car back to Sin.

" Kadoom will kill you all! "

" Not if I even make the odds..." Sin said, sniffing the air like an animal, and glowed red. " Guilty....22,45,78,92, pacts 23 subsection a have been violated, slavery, free will,torture, brain washing, murder, 2 cosmic crimes committed. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you can say or do will be used in a court of law."

" Kadoom does not listen to anyone! " he yelled and signalled the other forces. " Blue men, Lizards get them! "

The Kree soldiers instantly shot the two men as Methu-Selah and the woman got attacked by lizards. Sin and Recon fell down on the ground and then soon received more slashing from the other lizards and bleeding. Kadoom watched them suffer and laughed. Sin grabbed one of them by the face and crushed its skull as his wounds healed.

Kadoom instantly grabbed Sin's neck and choked him to death, " Kadoom wishes you to die..."

Sin grinned in pain and spoke, struggling to break free, " It's nice to want, huh?! $#%hole! "

Recon and the other three noticed him being suffering from the lizard. Methu-Selah widened his eyes in shock and got anxious of revealing himself.

" Stop this...." the disguised Kree Eternal muttered and blasted the Kree and the Lizards away. Recon revealed his wings blinding the remaining invaders with a bright holy light as he backed away cautiously.

" Blue light...." the lizard angrily muttered and yelled. " Kadoom smells like another Kree Eternal coming! Where is he?! "

" Maybe, you're imagining things mate, " Recon stepped forward and shot at the Lizard's hand trying to make a non lethal attack. Kadoom put down Sin as the other warrior went coughing and panting.

" Where is the Blue Light! Kadoom saw the blue light, same as the weakling! "

The muted Kree woman made signs that she was the one who created the blue light and defended the Kree-Faunus man.

" Kadoom does not understand hand words! " he yelled and grabbed the Kree woman. " Die, blue traitor woman! "

She was silently yelling and gasping for breath. Methu-Selah, Recon, and Sin noticed him doing it. An anti-demon bullet went through Kadoom's left leg attracting his attention as Recon took a heavy swig of wine.

" Why must you terrorize the locals, eh? " he asked.

" You try to shoot Kadoom! Kadoom kill slaves and warriors who disobey Lord Kasius and Lady Basha! Kadoom wants you all dead! "

" You had almost taken the boy's life! " Methu-Selah raised his voice " Now, you made it to this poor woman! "

" Boy should die like you, all! "

The same bullet ricocheted off several buildings and bounced off a damaged stop sign nailing Kadoom in the right arm. Kadoom dropped the woman down, but her life had ceased through the mad lizard. Methu-Selah sadly bowed his head and glared at him.

" Kadoom take life! Life cannot be returned! "

" It's all because of that Genesis stone that's within you, " the disguised Kree Eternal reasoned. " It made you that way! I want you to stop this madness! "

Sin coughed and slowly stood up, " Genesis....stone....impossible."

" Yeah," Recon reasoned. " The Genesis crystal was destroyed back in the stone age by the evolution hero."

" The Genesis stone was originally a normal big cluster of common quartz from planet Chakal at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. About 4000 years ago, an interstellar storm gave off time energy and a ton of time radiation was absorbed by the cluster turning it into a powerful crystal. It influenced the lizards especially the quaziquatle race acting as their deity and evolving their minds, tech and powers, " Methu-Selah explained.

" No way! " Sin exclaimed in disbelief. " How come?! What kind of rock is that?! We were not fully aware of it! "

" It is an evil rock with some kind of agenda, it is searching for something secret. The rock manipulates body plans through the process of evolution. It changes color to communicate and its power can be negated by blue light. In those periods, my own race, the Kree, made a truce with the Lizards and used the Genesis stone to make a conquest of every distant planet. "

" Woah, woah, woah, slow down. Boss! " Recon scratched his head and became intrigued. " How did you know everything about this stone and Kadoom's people? Tell us, was there a story behind it? Does the Kree Eternal know of this? "

" The Kree Eternal told me he had been to Chakal and disguised as a lizard. He had known that crystal is evil and tried to liberate that race from its influence, however they became corrupted. Then, the Kree had taken advantage of them and possessed that crystal to manipulate anyone for their own benefit. "

" Wait? What?! " the two raised their voice in unison. " Who the heck from that race did that?! "

" The ancestors of the mad tyrant, Kasius! They're the ones who banished Methu-Selah out of Hala! They used the lizard race to form allies and start this damn invasion thanks to Taryan and his son! " Methu-Selah stressed his words and glared at Kadoom. " He's using you as a lethal weapon for Hala's sakes! You killed all these people! You even hurt the Kree Eternal's son! How dare you make such a mess! "

Kadoom angrily gritted his teeth and clenched his both fists. He wanted to hurt the blue skinned Faunus man and end him for good. Methu-Selah crossed his arms.

" What's the matter, Kadoom? The truth hurts? " he asked.

" LIAR! Kadoom will kill you! "

" That's not even a lie! That's a complete damn truth which Kasius has deceived you! "

" NO!! "

" That explains why my judgment power did not affect you, Kadoom! " Sin added and backed away from the lizard when he indignantly pointed at Kadoom using his index finger. " Your body plan is not the chief anymore."

" Kadoom does not listen to you! " the mad lizard took the blue cat Faunus man. Methu-Selah was struggling to break free from the dreaded claws and hands. " Kadoom smells something in you! "

" Let me go!! " he yelled. " Let me go!! "

" You like the Boy! You and the Boy must die!! "

Sin grinned as he had spread his wings black and bright.

" That's good though. It means I can stop fighting like the light and start being a demon," he said.

Sin's eyes changed color to demonic red as he flew at Kadoom's fists on fire

" Burn in hell's judgement! "

Kadoom was not affected by the flames from Sin. Methu-Selah sparked blue light from his both hands and blasted him. Recon was surprised to see the act, had an idea, and pulled out three cans of powdered cesium. Then, he began to pour the powder in a circle around Kadoom and lit it on fire, burning with blue fire and bathing the area in blue light. Kadoom was still choking the blue cat man until the blue light and fire had illuminated his body.

The mad Lizard yelled in pain as Methu-Selah transformed into his true self. Kadoom widened his eyes in shock as he was still grabbing his arm. The Kree Eternal readied himself to illuminate his left hand and glared at the reptilian.

" Methu-Selah! You scoundrel! Kadoom knew it was you! You are just like that boy! " the lizard angrily yelled. " You must die like the boy! "

" Not this time, lad! " the Kree Eternal smirked. " Checkmate! "

" What?! Noooo!!! "

Methu-Selah gave him a powerful and radiant bluish-white photon blast, sending him flying to a debris of fallen rocks and wood. Kadoom was weakening and shrieking in pain. The Kree Eternal flew over and took the Genesis stone from Kadoom and crushed it. The lizard was weakened as his powers had disappeared. Suddenly, he looked around and became more dumbfounded.

" Who are you? Kadoom cannot remember anything..." he said. " What Kadoom doing here? "

" He has no memory of what happened, " the Kree Eternal replied and turned to the two men. " You may take him away from this planet. Make him isolated. Kasius and Basha might kill him when their minions find him. "

" Kasius, Basha? Kadoom doesn't understand. Who are they? Kadoom does not know what you're talking about. "

Suddenly, the time slowed to a stop for everyone,but Methu-Selah remained moving his head as a woman walked out behind him.

" You again, Methu-Selah of Hala, why do we keep meeting when I'm planning? " she curiously asked and smiled.

" These two have revealed my true identity, thanks to the blue fire, " he said. " I asked them to take away Kadoom on this planet.."

The woman looked the two men over and answered, " Ah, yes Sin Repentance, Borough Agents. You have nothing to worry about, Methu. The enemy won't remember who you are once the cover up process happens."

" Well, my mission is over. I shall go to Ethiopia again, " he said. " Very soon, I have to be with my son. "

" You do know me right? Usually our conversations are a bit more talkative. Or am I meeting you in reverse still? "

" I forgot your name already. I'm sorry. It's just that I got easily affected by the mute Kree woman's passing..." the Kree Eternal sadly spoke.

" Yes, it is really a sad state of events. My name is Sasha Ages. You know my husband Timex."

" Yes, he's an old friend, " he spoke and looked sadly at the deceased one. " She was a good help to us. "

A figure in a black robe appeared, its face shrouded in a hood next to the deceased woman as something left her body.

" Gratzie, Signore Methu-Selah, " the soul of the deceased woman spoke. Her low pitched voice had made the Kree Eternal in awe.

" Può riposare in paradiso, signorina. (You may rest in paradise, miss.)"

Sasha Ages turned to the figure and asked, " How's work Genocide? "

The hooded figure chuckled sarcastically and answered, " How's work? She asks! Good one! That takes you all day to come with that one? You wanna know how my weeks have gone? It sucks! Death, death, death everywhere, people dropping dead like dinosaurs and you have the audacity to ask how just my day is going. You are a funny lady? Someone gives this %$&** an award."

" Sono pronto a lasciare questo universo. Non sono più necessario qui. (I am ready to leave this universe. I am no longer needed here.) " she politely said and turned to the two people. " A nome del Kree esiliato, mi scuso per gli atti maligni della mia gente su questo pianeta. (On behalf of the exiled Kree, I do apologise for my people's malicious acts in this planet.)"

Sasha Ages bowed in apology and sadly, sighed " I'm sorry I meant no offense..."

" Non tutte le persone Kree sono malvagie. Potremmo essere più forti e più dominanti degli umani, ma tendiamo ad adattarci in ambienti e culture diversi. "

" She said, '' Not all Kree people are evil, we may be stronger and more dominant than humans, but we tend to adjust in different environments and cultures, " Methu-Selah translated the deceased Kree-Italian lady's words. " That's why we're here. "

" Per questo motivo, siamo stati stereotipati dai nostri fratelli corrotti. "

" Because of that, we have been stereotyped from our corrupted brothers. "

" Qualcuno della nostra razza ci ha fatto guardare il male nei tuoi occhi. "

" Someone from our race has made us look evil in your eyes, " the Kree Eternal continued. " That is Kasius and his ancestors. "

" sì. "

" I must report back to my chief. May your quest in searching for your son be praised, Methu, " she bowed at the Kree Eternal and the other woman and replied.

" Just take care of this lady, she has just explained her case, " he said. " She has been a victim of prejudice and murder. "

Genocide coughed and shrugged, " Well, if she has nothing to hide, then the court at the work place should give her a favorable ruling."

" Well, just give my fellow Kree woman a new life, " Methu-Selah replied. " However, she doesn't speak English, she can only speak in our native tongue from Hala and Italian as her second Earth language. I believe when she was living, she had spoken in hands. "

" Non capisco e parlo la lingua della Terra, ma cercherò di stare al passo. (I don't understand and speak that Earth language, but I'll try to keep up.)" she reminded.

" We reapers speak all languages. The usual reaper for Europe had an accident. I usually only handle England and America. We're spreading pretty thin."

" Do you think she can handle it? " he asked.

" Si, " the deceased Kree woman nodded.

" Very well, " Sasha nodded and smiled at the Kree Eternal. " We shall take care of her. Anyways, several days from now, you will meet my husband in Ethiopia and remind you about your son. I have understood it is very crucial and yet important for you and this child to reunite. "

" Indeed, I have predicted that event, Sasha. I will make sure to be fulfilled. "

" Fair enough, " she cheerfully replied. " I give you my blessing and luck for your further exploits! Farewell! "

The Reaper and Sasha Ages bowed and vanished along with the blue skinned woman when the time resumed. Sin and Recon yawned when they looked around suspiciously.

" Was he here, The Reaper? " he asked.

" I don't know, mate, " Recon scratched his head when his friend crossed his arms and sighed.

" Agh!! I never get to meet him! "

The blue cat Faunus man stood in front of them as Kadoom remained catatonic and confused.

" What are you boys talking about? " Methu-Selah asked, rubbed his cat's ears with his right hand, and raised his left hand in interjection. " I don't know who you are referring to. "

Sin slapped handcuffs on Kadoom and placed chains on his legs. The lizard was very dumbfounded and curiously raised his eyebrows. He had no idea what the man was doing to him.

" Once we get him before the interrogator, we will make sure to get some evidence of that Genesis stone, along with the Kree-Lizard involvement, " he said. " Thank you, Boss, for letting us know about it. "

" You're welcome, gentlemen, " Methu-Selah nodded in agreement.

" Kadoom don't understand... What's going on? " the lizard asked and scratched his head.

" Come with us, sir..."

" Kadoom has no memory..."

Recon chuckled, " That's not going to matter to the interrogator, he can see your past. We will know what you were up to during your Genesis stone control."

" Kadoom doesn't know anything! "

" Well, it's your responsibility now, " Methu-Selah smiled. " I have a mission to do. "

" Thank you, Boss! That will do, " Sin said, hitting Kadoom on the head knocking him out.

" I will see you two soon, " the blue skinned Cat Faunus man smiled at the two men and waved at them. Sin and Recon waved back and watched him walking away.
