(Paris, France, 1:23 AM)

Amnon woke up from a nightmare which he had just seen. He instantly sat up when he heavily and rapidly breathed in fear. Then, he shook his head in disbelief and instantly stood up from his bed, stretching his both arms.

" Great Pama! " the hybrid anxiously muttered to himself. " What was that vision?......an.....another me?! "

He saw his father sitting on the chair and standing up. Methu-Selah walked over and said, " Son, take a look in the lab. The scientists have kept your new body. " 

" New body?! " his son raised his voice in disbelief. 

" Yes, why don't you see for yourself. " 

" Okay. " 

Amnon-Selah and the Kree Eternal headed down to the stairs and saw people in lab coats. The two men headed to the laboratory and walked around. 

" So, I made this vision right? " he curiously asked. 

" You made it on your own, son, " Methu-Selah answered.

Amnon kept an eye on an unconscious blonde male humanoid sleeping inside the chamber. The new body had a facial feature of late twenties to early thirties and with a height of six feet and two inches. He was very curious and paying attention to his new body. 

" That's me from my vision earlier! " Amnon-Selah exclaimed.

" It's a gift for you, " his father said. " I will explain everything about it later. " 

" Really? " 

" Yes, it is! " 

A red-headed male scientist approached the two men. He was wearing a white lab coat and glasses. Just beside him, there was the elderly Russian scientist who guided the laboratory staff.

" We do have the other bodies uncovered from France and Switzerland. Clones and test tube children have been kept for a long time, " he said with a smooth French accent. " Most of them were killed by the invaders for some decades. " 

" What do you mean clones and test tube children? " Amnon curiously asked. " You mean they died in this invasion? " 

" There is one actually kept here in Paris, " the scientist explained. "  A pink-Kree male from around thirty years ago. I believe he is Amnon Joseph D. Montmartre who will be the new recipient of this body. " 

Amnon widened his eyes to his astonishment and remained silent. He couldn't believe in what the scientist had said. The Kree Eternal beside him gently patted his son's back.

" Master, am I going to be a human or…" 

" You're still a Kree, " Methu-Selah sincerely smiled. " But almost like a human. "

Suddenly, the entire room went all dark and they heard  the scientist screaming and the chamber breaking. Among the sounds of suffering, they could hear something vibrating at a high frequency before it stopped. When the light turned on again, all of the scientists were dead, as well as the recipient of Amnon. Along the walls were covered in blood: " All of you incompetent races will soon witness my destruction upon the world…"

The Kree-Lizard hybrid was horrified at the sight and said, "....This....This is just another vision right? Like an inception of dreams?! " 

" Yes, there's no time for explaining, " Methu-Selah said. " Now, save your new self! Hurry! " 

Amnon nodded and broke the glass with his photon blast. Then, he brought the new body with him. The two hurriedly dashed into safety as they could. Then, a father and son heard a deep voice coming from a distance. 
 

" Well.....what an interesting research center…" 

" Huh?! " Amnon-Selah looked at where the voice came from and carried his naked pink-Kree self when he and his father saw nothing and got surprised. " Who's there?! Show yourself! " 

" It's just an old friend from two of yours....this isn't a vision you are experiencing, but an illusion that I manifested into your mind! " 

Soon, the father and son both found themselves surrounded by fire as they witnessed the world around them burning.

" Stop it! Stop it, now! " 

" I will, this was only a message to the both of you, so you can deliver to the two of my closest friends. "

" Will there be enough time to be in my new body? " Amnon turned to his father and asked. 

" Yes! " 

Methu-Selah illuminated Amnon's soul as he transferred him into the human. The hybrid became lifeless as the new Amnon awakened.

" Now, don't you two ramble on without the acknowledgement of my existence. I only wanted to spread my message. The message of my Advent…"

" I won't let you get away from this! I am the Kree Eternal's apprentice! I will never surrender from your threats! " the pink Kree firmly replied.

" Oh really?! Aren't you two mindless and stubborn forms of life? Especially you Methu-Selah."

" This body he has is a powerful one! Now be banished! "

" Sadly, no...this is merely an illusion....but, I will wake you two from it. But do me one favor. Spread the message. Spread on to see your world in chaos once more, " the voice answered. 

The father and son both woke up when the sudden grimm imagery had disappeared. Amnon-Selah looked at himself in the mirror in his new body, still wearing his blue pajamas. Methu-Selah smiled and sighed in relief. 

" It's almost like real, " his son commented. " I don't even understand what's going on."

" At least, you have a new body, but the threat will happen anytime soon, " his father replied. 

" I know, " Amnon nodded and continued. " That voice said he wanted us to spread the message of his Advent. Should we do it, Master? " 

" Yes, tell them, son, but I doubt if everyone will believe in what we will say later. " 

" Yes, Master. " 

" My look at you! " another male voice called him out.

Amnon looked at the pinkish skin and smiled when he touched his short golden wavy locks. Then, he again turned to the mirror and felt pleased. The scientists were happy to see the new pink-Kree man in pajamas walking around the facility.

" Amnon, you can't walk around the place in sleeping clothes. Get something decent to wear, " the scientist reminded. 

" Oui, monsieur, I have some spare clothing. You are exactly my same size, " his French colleague added. 

" Ah, merci beaucoup, monsieur, " the young Kree man replied. 

" De rien. " 

" Yeah, this is the only way so that the enemies will no longer identify you as a Kree-Lizard accuser. Plus, your new body is still adjusting for your superstrength and energy blasts just like your master, since it had undergone some experiments for thirty years. "

" Wow! " Amnon exclaimed and bewildered. " This is....This is...I don't even know what to even say now. So, this must be…"

" You have been in a deep sleep for a week, monsieur. " 

" Well, just like the story of the Ugly Duckling, " Methu-Selah smiled and gently patted his son's back. " You are now a beautiful swan, my boy! " 

" Heh, I guess you can say that, Old Man! " Amnon laughed. " Now, what's next? " 

" Go on, boy! You can meet more ladies! "

" Please don't embarrass me, Old man…" his son chuckled and blushed when he secretly kept an eye on the other female staff. 

 
" Your previous body is already cremated, " the scientist continued.

 
" Cremated? So, you're not just going to keep it just in case this body gets destroyed? " 

" Well, the Elite Commander's orders. " 

" Hm…" Amnon scratched his chin and became doubtful. " That just seems suspicious. "

" The new seer deserves a new body. Actually, that's the reason in order to protect you, since you are the new seer. " 

" I see, " the pink Kree nodded. " But still, you guys didn't think twice before creating my original body......well, technically a second body. I really need to know why  it is truly designated for me. "  

" That's in your vision, son. We'll explain that later, " Methu-Selah said. 

" Well, the Kree has been hunting you both. That's the bad news. "

" We know. " 

" That's why we recreated you, using that new body that we uncovered from here in Paris, " the scientist added. 

" But...I...., " Amnon sighed and nodded no furiously. " Nevermind, we'll talk about it later. " 

 " Oh, and by the way. Just don't be surprised by what's going to happen next. I've heard the next plan is crazy. " 

Amnon nervously laughed and blushed, " The French girls! "

" Nah, it's something even crazier. Apparently a major event is happening today! " 

Amnon quickly took some extra clothes and changed inside the room. Then, he left the room and looked at the crowd. 

" What's going on?! That's odd, " Amnon-Selah replied. 

" It seems like a celebration, " his father answered. 

" Celebration? "

" Why don't we take a look? " 

" I don't know, but it's going to be something great! " 

The scientist evilly grinned and chuckled. Methu-Selah widened his eyes in shock on seeing his son running to the hallway. He followed him and got alarmed of what would happen next. The young Kree ran up to the entrance of the research center and opened the door.

" WHAT'S HAPPENING?!! " Amnon's expression slowly turns from a cheery mood to a horrified look. "...NO! " 

The entire world around them was burning, just as in the illusion. The building behind them crumpled down due to the intensity of the fire. 

" WHY!? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! " 

" Oh...my bad, this was just another of my illusions....I would fully wake the both of you up now, " the male voice echoed. 

A giant flash of light was beginning to form as it expanded rapidly, permanently blinding them in the illusion. Amnon groaned in pain as he woke up from his bed, where he'd wake up last time. He frantically looked at his body to be sure, but unfortunately, he was in the same Kree-Lizard hybrid body as before

".........It was a lie......it was all a lie.........You and that prophecy was all a lie......Why?! I don't understand all of those! " 

" Amnon, you don't even realize. We are trapped in this illusion! " 

" But?! " 

" We must do something! " 

" Right! " Amnon nodded and then something snapped in his mind. ".....No....no we do not..... I don't get it! What on Hala?! Why is this happening again?! "  

Suddenly, the two ended up in Kasius's lair. A group of Kree and Lizard troopers were heavily armed and pointed their weapons at them. The father and son exchanged glances and felt cornered by the invaders. 

 " No! " 

" It can't be! " 

" Don't worry fellows....it's only a vision of the future....or an illusion of mine…"

The blue Kree tyrant stood up and confronted when he grinned and crossed his arms. Methu-Selah and his son felt more apprehended than ever. 

" Kasius…" Amnon recognised the man and angrily muttered. 

" The two prophets or should I say traitors have just come into my lair. Look at your people, " Kasius said and pointed at the people who suffered and perished.

" No! " Amnon cried. 

" Let them out! " Methu-Selah added. 

" Please, don't let them die and suffer! " 

" Kasius, we are warning you! " 

" Let us all go! You are all gonna die! "

The man came from behind Kasius, stood a figure that was in a silhouette. He snapped his fingers as everything had stopped, except for Methu-Selah and Amnon. 

" Now, do you see the reality you two brought? Only within an illusion? " he asked.

" You deceiver! " the Kree Eternal angrily gritted his teeth. " You make lies! " 

" Honestly Methu-Selah, it's quite sad how you manipulate people to join your cause, and in the end, it was only an empty promise you gave. Your "prophecies" can only go as far as your life and is going to be in the coming future. "

" He made everything possible with his help! " Amnon indignantly replied. " You are trying to thwart us! " 

" Heh.....From a mortal who saw beyond all once said, " Both paths of light and darkness will only cause constant chaos with each other. There is no end to it, it's a continuous loop. " 

" Leave us alone, you fool! Just get out! " 

" Unfortunately, this is my illusionary nightmare, I've created. Which hinders you from even becoming conscious in your inner conscious.....Meta, I know. "'

" We are stronger than you think! " Methu-Selah answered when he and his son formed a bright cosmic radiance. 

" Too bad though, " the man created a dark spell that overrided the illumination. " I'm more powerful than what you led on to be. "

" I really don't understand what you're saying! " Amnon cried and widened his eyes in shock. " Master, even if we don't understand or believe, we have no other choice but to listen to what he has to say. " 

" This is psychological warfare! " his father replied.

" What?! " 

" He's using this to divert us. " 

" No...not really. It's an advanced form of a Dark spell. " 

" Into our deaths? " 

" Yes. "

" And still no…" 

" What do you want from us? " the Kree-Lizard hybrid asked.

The shadowed man jumped off from the throne and walked over to them, " I want you to open your eyes more.....I want you to truly see what it will lead to. And the truth about your prophecies. " 

" You are from the darkness, aren't you?! " Methu-Selah doubtfully spoke. " You have sent us to get killed! " 

" No...I just learned the dark arts….I take no side...anyway, let's start with the latter.....you see, prophecies is just another fancier term for those who can see into the future.....but like any vision of the future, it's not always true.....no matter how much you want to convinced other to believe it, that vision can be change by just simply override the decision that lead to that future. " 

" Only the power of the Kree Eternal has the right to tell the future. It's either we can tell it or not! Everyone who hears it has a choice to believe it or not! " 

" Not necessarily....I know a friend who can see the future. And she's not even eternal, it's just her natural Semblance. " 

"  Well, Inhumans, Eternals, and other beings have that. So don't let us thwart our visions! We don't even fully trust you. You don't even show yourself to us, " Amnon sternly said. " You are sent by someone, aren't you?! " 

" I was.....I was sent by myself. "

" I don't believe and trust you. " 

"  Neither do I, I don't think you will help us either, " his father added. 

" The truth is stranger than fiction.....But it's all true.....I never worked side by side with other beings who want destruction....they'll only get in my way. "

" How? By what way? " 

" Just to put it simply, " the man replied. " They always rely on their allies or servants to do the heavy lifting, not necessarily themselves....But me, I see past that....it'll only wither themselves within time......and so, by working on my own, in a long term run, it's actually beneficial. If you're patient of course. "

" Working on your own? We don't think that's right. " 

" Believe what you believe....But it's best for me. " 

" We will do what is right for people, that's what I learned from my master. What you've shown us merely an illusion, " the Kree-Lizard hybrid sternly said. " Whatever plans you try to hinder us, you will fail! By the way, you're just a horrifying nuisance after all! "

" Hmm....Oh dear, is that someone's alarm clock going off?....I guess it's finally time to wake up from this nightmare…" the man sighed.

" GET OUT! " the father and son angrily spoke in unison. 

" You could've just said it nicely, " he snapped his fingers one more time, and the same blinding forms consumed them. 

Amnon heard someone's alarm clock going off with his hybrid ears. He grimaced and yawned which he felt annoyed.

" Ugh....Who has their alarm volume that high?! "  he sat up and stretched his arms out. " Wait, it's still 2:00 AM!  That was a nightmare. Master, I don't think I can sleep throughout this day. "

The Kree Eternal nodded and sat on his chair, remaining sleepless. He stood up and sat beside his son on the bed.

" I know, " he nodded. 

" Wait, what if it's real? We're both being hunted by Kasius. " 

" Well, that's what we have to be vigilant for the days to come. " 

Suddenly, they heard a loud knock on the door. The Kree-Lizard hybrid became more terrified when he still remembered that nightmare he had. His father, Methu-Selah opened the door and saw an MTF trooper who stayed awake. 

" What is it, young man? " the Kree Eternal asked. 

" Sir, it's Elder Danvers, " the trooper replied. " Me and my colleagues tried to stop her from binge drinking, but she's…." 

" …Unstoppable?! " Amnon continued the thought and raised his voice. 

" Yes, you two should come quickly before she gets into trouble. " 

The two men headed to the apartment's rooftop and saw the elderly half-Kree woman who kept drinking the last bottle of red wine. They were surprised when they saw two to twelve bottles were emptied. Now, she was ingesting the thirteenth and throwing the final bottle at them. The father and son instantly dodged at the shattered glass and then grabbed her arms.

" YOU TWO, GET OUT!! LET GO OF ME!! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU, BOTH! " 

" MOM! " Amnon sharply cried. " STOP THIS!! " 

" CAROL, THAT'S ENOUGH! " Methu-Selah added. 

" You two! You're trying to shhtop me from binge drinking!! '' she angrily yelled and attempted to break free from them. " HOW DARE YOU!! MEN LIKE YOU ARE DISSHGUSSHTING AND DISSHGRACEFUL!! YOU DON'T CARE IF A WOMAN GETSSH HURT BECAUSSH FOR YOUR DAMN MISTAKESH!! " 

" Please, Mom! You need to stop this! You're waking up some of the people here and making a lot of trouble! " 

" Did I ever make trouble before?! Yesssh...that wasssh a long time ago!! But your dear old daddy wassshh the worrssshht! " 

" Mom, we're not talking about before. We're talking about now. You need to stop this! " 

" Shtop thish?! Really, Kid, Really?! " Carol repeated her son's words and loudly laughed at the two men. " You know, Amnon, your good 'ol shuperzero ish a damn womanizer!! You found hish darkessht shecretsh! I hope you won't be like him when you get older! You don't want to end ridiculousssh assshh him!! " 

" Mom, what are you talking about?! " Amnon shook her body and cried. " Master is just helping a friend out?! You don't understand how Amelie needs help!!" 

" Oh, Amelie? Issh that her name?! Isssh ssshe taking me out of the equation?! " 

" No, she's just a friend who needs help! You're just jealous! " 

" Jealoussh, of courshhe I am! " Carol indignantly spoke. " You my damn shon, how dare you to shhpeak to me that way! "

" Mom, " Amnon replied. " I have to tell this to you, because you're not in the right mind! " 

" Becaussshe I am in love with the Kree Eternal whom you have been ssshearching for in yearssshhh!! " 

Amnon widened his eyes in shock and turned to his father and glanced back at his mother. 

" Is that true or just another illusion again? " he asked. 

" Carol, Amnon. This is true, " the Kree Eternal seriously broke his silence and sighed when the hybrid and his mother turned their attention to him. " I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. " 

" Finally, you have admitted you are a damn cheater! " Carol indignantly spoke and pointed at Methu-Selah's face using her index finger. 

" Master, please tell her the truth…" Amnon calmly spoke. " I hope this will resolve her issues with you. " 

" When I was Methuselah Belladonna, I used the dead person's life to take care of her a decade ago, " the Kree Eternal explained. " Amelie got sick of cancer. She was a fellow slave and a former Moulin Rouge Mutiny victim. I fell in love with her out of mercy. Amnon even spared her life and helped her escape from the slave den in Switzerland. " 

" Ish thish true? " Carol asked. 

" Yes, she's going to die anytime soon. She needs more attention and my help. Carol, I do understand you have feelings for me. Honestly, I fell in love with you before I met Amelie during the Kree-Lizard invasion and before we set up Project Marvel from the MTF. I am so sorry if I put you into so much trouble…"

" Methie…." she bitterly wept and sadly spoke. " I don't know any of thessshhe...I don't undersssshhtand! "

" Mom….he's sorry…." Amnon added. 

" Carol, I still love you…." the Kree Eternal sincerely spoke and put his arms around her. 

The elderly half Kree woman felt helpless and bitterly wailed. She put her face on Methu-Selah and watered her eyes into tears while he was hugging her. Amnon-Selah joined and hugged his parents. Despite the nightmare and sadness that had happened, love and forgiveness had bonded them in the wee hours of the morning.
