“ The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. ”

- Albert Einstein
 

(MONTMARTRE FAMILY FLAT, AVENGERS COMPOUND, UPSTATE NEW YORK: 12:30 AM)

In the wee hours of the morning, Amnon kept tossing and turning to his bed. He was frowning and moaning which he had seen something in his dream. He instantly opened his eyes and sat up on his bed. The pink Kree was wearing a golden brown shirt and a pair of blue pajamas when he looked at the clock. It was thirty minutes after twelve o'clock. He scratched his chin and deeply thought of what he saw in his dream. Amnon stretched his arms and stood up from his bed as his insomniac moments had just begun.

He silently left his room and watched his steps since he knew his parents were sleeping in the other room. The insomniac Kree headed himself to the kitchen, opened the fridge, looked for some midnight snack, and found sweet and crispy chocolate chip cookies from Elder Hank McCoy. Amnon took two pieces when he was happily chewing and tasting them.

" Not bad for these baked choco chips cookies. I could have asked him for the recipe earlier, " he happily thought and kept eating. " Well, maybe next time if he visits. "

Amnon finished ingesting and returned the cookie jar into the fridge and grabbed a bottle of cow's milk, carefully pouring it into the glass. He drank and emptied it, placing it into the kitchen sink and washed the glass with liquid soap and running water from the faucet. He was done rinsing it and dried it with a paper towel. The pink Kree looked closely at his parents' room and noticed that his mother was peacefully sleeping.

" Dad must be at the rooftop as usual. He's also an insomniac like me, " he thought and placed the glass into the cabinet. " I guess I need to talk to him about the dream I have seen. "

Amnon wore his slippers and carefully closed the flat's door. Walking around the Avengers Compound residential area, he moved his head around and noticed the deep eerie silence on the hallway.

" This place reminds me of the Site 19 Foundation Facility, " he fearfully thought and felt sweat flowing on his forehead. " I hope nobody would notice or hinder me from meeting my father at the rooftop. "

Then, he heard some night duty guards chattering from a distance. On his right, he turned to an elevator and pressed the button going up. The doors were automatically opened when he entered. It took a few minutes for him to get him onto the rooftop and stepped out of the lift. Finally, he saw his ancient blue skinned father levitating in a meditative position.

" Um, Dad. Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, " Amnon tilted his head and meekly called him out.

" Son, you don't need to apologise. I have already sensed and known that you're coming, " he replied and smiled with his eyes closed. " Anyways, how can I help? "

Amnon sat down on the ground avoiding the cold flurry snow and replied, " I just had a dream earlier and saw Kasius spent talking to someone. He brought out a witch as a slave and tortured her. "

" Well, did they saw you in that dream? " Methu-Selah asked.

" No, they didn't. I was invisible or something. I could only hear them, but I couldn't comprehend about what they were talking about. No clue, honestly. I saw the witch was being tortured just like they did to me before, " the pink skinned son sadly sighed. " I wasn't able to save her. "

" It seems like he's looking for someone who could hinder us. The one who used to work with the Abyss, I clearly remembered you have talked about darkness and the Abyss in Ethiopia, " the Kree Eternal recalled, opened his eyes, and descended on the ground, helping his son to stand up.

" I guess mad blue tyrant is going to use her to topple us down. I take it? "

" Bingo, my dear boy! You have been so clever, " he smiled, gently patted his son's head, and changed his cheerful tone into a serious one. " But she or anyone will try to banter us very soon. "

" That will lead to your final day? " Amnon asked and grew concerned at his father. " Dad, I'm not allowing you to sacrifice yourself. I'm going with you. You need a partner and a bodyguard, dad. And that will be me. "

" Amnon, I appreciate your concern, but..."

" Dad, you have done a lot of things to me from the first time I met you in Danakil until now. I was supposed to be your servant and you were my master like we have agreed. Just realising our relationship, it was more than that. Through the same blue blood running into our veins, you are my real father all along, " Amnon sincerely replied and placed his right hand on his father's shoulder. " Now, you married my mother as she wanted to spend more time with you until your last day on Earth. She's also anxious if that happens. That's why I am here to protect you. "

" Amnon...my son..." Methu-Selah tightly hugged him. " Thank you..."

" Dad, I want to make you happy and do my best to keep you alive, " he hugged back his father.

Suddenly, the Kree Eternal sensed a mysterious energy within the area and parted away from his son. He looked his head around as Amnon looked oblivious at his father and curiously tilted his head.

" Dad? What's the matter? " he asked.

" Son, it's way too early in the morning to gather the escapees, but we need to change clothes. "

" Escapees? What are you talking about? "

" Why don't you come with me and see them for yourself? "

" Right, " Amnon nodded no furiously and joined his father.

(COMPOUND GROUNDS)

Elder Ruby Rose-Rogers or former MIB Agent R had watched from the Quinjet's window and saw an opening from a distance. The vehicle reached at the end of the tunnel where the Avengers Compound was situated. She widened her eyes in shock and felt an intense joy which she experienced freedom like her fellow slaves. The patrolling guards were flabbergasted to see an aircraft right in front of their eyes. Walking closer to it, the vehicle's hatch was instantly opened when the group of slaves were stepping out.

" My goodness, " the middle-aged Caucasian guard looked at his African-American partner. " I didn't even think that they're..."

" Dude, it's an army of free people! " the other guard exclaimed and saw the former slaves leaving the Quinjet.

" Haha! We're free! " Elder Nikolai Efpistons happily cheered and rushed along with his granddaughter.

Before the point B portal could close, Mist and Shade came out of it just in time as it closed. Mist looked behind to where the portal was when it disappeared.

" Phew, that was a close one! " she sighed in relief.

" Yep......" Shade nodded and looked up. Then, he saw and recognised the Elder Ruby Rose-Rogers and her younger alternate self hugging and talking to each other. " There's two!? "

Upon seeing the two, the pyrokinetic Inhuman spouses joined their fellow elderly freed one and instantly hugged her.

" Ruby, Agent R! " Elder Firefly happily exclaimed and wept for joy. " Thank goodness, we have seen you alive! "

" Sis, Big Bro, you're here! " Elder Rose-Rogers cheerfully replied and hugged the spouses.

" My sister-in-law has returned with us! We missed you so much! " Elder Pyromaniac also exclaimed.

Shade looked over to the Elder Pyromaniac and recognized him as well. Mist got up and dusted herself off.

" Crap, let's just hope he doesn't remember me from earlier, " he anxiously thought.

Methu-Selah and his son just changed their clothes and arrived from the residential area of the Avengers Compound. The father and son knew and saw some former slaves who were rescued and brought here. Commander Jared Coulson approached the newcomers and smiled at them in greeting. The Portuguese nurse Cassia Da Costa busied looking after the exiles along with the resident physician and other medical staff.

" Now, that's really surprising..." Amnon muttered in shock and asked. " How many people are there? "

" Good morning, gentlemen, " the scarlet haired nurse politely greeted at the three men. " We have an additional five hundred people freed. No wonder why did they come here in the first place. "

" Five hundred people?! " the pink Kree raised his voice and turned to his companions. " Is this true? "

" It seems to be, Amnon, " Jared nodded in agreement and crossed his arms.

" Yes, exactly. They are the 500 people in Bronx where it is Kasius's second base, " Cassia interjected. " His main base is in Manhattan. "

The three men noticed the other exiles and exchanged glances. Indeed, the Kree Eternal Methu-Selah was right. He had foreseen the arrival of the interdimensional people. The most of them were here. Elder Daisy Johnson felt surprised to see her younger self as she hugged the other Quake.

Mist looked over too the others and nervously smiled at them. She shyly greeted, " Uuuhhhh.....Hi? "

Shade got up and anxiously thought, " Please don't recognize me, please don't recognize me, please don't recognize me, please don't recognize me, please don't recognize me..."

While Amnon was busy talking to the exiles and gathering some pertinent information from them, his father smiled at Mist and noticed the other man beside her. Shade became sweating and more anxious in seeing the ancient blue man. The Kree Eternal approached them and laughed, leaving his son.

" I have been reading your mind! Don't worry, your debts have paid, " Methu-Selah reminded.

Mist cursiously looked at the ancient blue man and asked, " You know him? "

" Well, his voice sounds familiar from a dream when my son and I had encountered him around two years ago, " he recalled. " Then, he attacked me and my wife before leaving the Triskelion. "

" Oh, crud, you noticed and recognised me, " Shade muttered unamused.

" Anyways, we'll bring you to the other heads, if you don't mind. "

The Kree Eternal accompanied the two watchers. Seeing his father's companions, Amnon finished talking and intently looked at them.

He approached his father and the two watchers, gave them a warm smile, and spoke, " Oh, hi. I'm glad my father just found you both. Come. Let's eat early breakfast. Doctor Pyromaniac and Mr. Williams prepared something delicious before dawn. "

" Did you say food? " Mist asked and smiled.

" Uhm, yeah, " he pointed at the cafeteria and suggested. " My father and I will guide you going there. Besides, you two must be very tired and probably hurt after that who breach. Why not come with us? "

" No, thanks. I'm good, " Shade blandly spoke.

Mist grabbed her partner's hand and gave him a puppy eyed look, " Come on Shade! How can you not resist food!? Besides, all we have been eating is hunted animals. So, why not change up the pace? "

Shade rolled his eyes and replied, " I guess..."

" Yay! "

(AVENGERS COMPOUND CAFETERIA: 3:10 AM)

The rest of the exiles have been eating along with the Upstate New York residents who were awake. Some of them were in evening duty. Methu-Selah and his son were finished eating breakfast as they decided to stay awake for the rest of the day. Just then, A brunette half-Lizard man appeared to the new exiles and smiled. He came along with the blue Kree-Faunus leader from the European and Middle East battalion.

" I'm Jared Coulson, leader of the American Rebel Forces. We have MTF troopers and other free nomads with us. Please enjoy your stay and make yourselves at home, " the reptilian hybrid man introduced himself. " And this is my colleague, Absalom Bav-Tek, commander of the European and Middle East faction. "

" A pleasure to meet you all people, " Absalom responded cordially.

Shade pondered, looked at the officials, and heavily sighed, " MTF? So, Kai must've allied with them. If we do meet at some point, it's going to be ugly. "

Mist was having a difficult time what to eat first. Amnon chuckled at the sight of the two and approached, " Well, why not you guys remove your gear placed upon your head? You might frighten the little ones here. "

Both Mist and Shade stared at each other and looked at Amnon. The pink Kree also looked intently at man and recognised him back in Rouen when Shade came to talk with Cassie Rains at the garden a few years ago. The Kree Eternal's son and the Abyss Watcher stared at each other as Mist curiously tilted her head.

" We do have other reasons than just for intimidation alone, " Shade answered.

" It's to hide our what we are as well, shadows of a person that you might know, " Mist added.

" Shadows? I wonder where Cassie could have been? Should I ask him? " the pink Kree man pondered. " Maybe, next time. Still got some work to do. "

" Have we met before? " Shade emotionlessly asked. " Your emerald irises in your eyes reminded me of someone from Rouen, France. "

Amnon pretended to be oblivious, responded, and helplessly shrugged," Well, I think so? Maybe, I'll ask you some questions some other time. I'm too busy these days. Sorry, I have no time for..."

The pink Kree noticed an old fox Faunus man who finished eating his meal and accidentally got slipped on a wet floor. Elder Nikolai Efpistons moaned in pain and had a difficulty to stand up. Amnon quickly assisted him to stand up.

" Thank you, young man..." Elder Nikolai smiled and sighed in relief.

" I'll take you to a nurse, " Amnon said and looked at Cassia.

" No, no. I'm okay, kid, " the old Faunus chuckled and nodded, looking and blushing at Elder Daisy Johnson-Tellumo. " I think this lovely woman will take me to the clinic. I need to get to Marie, first. "

" Okay, sir. Go on you can talk to her. It's your chance, " Amnon encouraged.

" Really, kid? "

" Yes, sir. There, she is. "

Elder Daisy exasperatedly sighed and crossed her arms, " My, how clumsy! "

" I need to wear a pair of glasses from now on, my dear Quake, " Elder Nikolai nervously grinned and chuckled. " Hello, there. I'm still okay. "

" You need my help going to the clinic, Mr. Efpistons? " she asked and blushed in seeing him.

" Yes, please. It's been a while talking to you, Miss Quake. "

" Yeah, long time no see. You could have been careful next time. "

Amnon sighed and watched the elderly love birds leaving the cafeteria. Then, he looked at his father and said, " Dad, I guess we can return after further conversations. "

" Unless, our friends have something more to say, " Old Methu-Selah reminded and turned to the Abyss Watchers. " I know that you have brought the exiles with us. You don't need to be afraid. You're all doing the right thing. "

" Anyway, back on the topic. Do you even wish to know what lies under our masks? Or in this case, Iron hats and neck sleeves that reach up to our mid nose bridge range, " Shade said as Mist looked at him with a concern. Then, he looked at her and said, " Mist, it doesn't even matter, we're the only two Shadows left of this universe, so we could be examples of what variants of the Abyss holds if they wish to face them. "

The half-reptilian American Rebel Forces leader approached the Kree father and son and the two Abyss Watchers and said, " Well, we noticed that from your appearances. This place has facial and body scan recognition. "

" But we are very curious, why did you bring the exiles from Bronx? " Absalom asked.

Shade sighed as he took off his hat and neck sleve off, to reveal his facial features. He was strikingly similar to Kai's appearance.

" To do the right thing. For a long time now, my clans have been ruled out as monsters from both light and Darkness. Our goal was too prevent all corruption of the Abyss spread by having a fragment of the soul of darkness within a corrupted leader of their respective kingdom/government, " he replied.

After listening to the Abyss Watcher's answer, Amnon exchanged glances at his father and nodded in agreement, " I see. Right. "

" Kasius must have been corrupted, " the Kree Eternal whispered at his son's ear.

" And so is Basha. "

Jared listened intentively and replied, " If ever that this happens, this must be an initiative in our jurisdiction. "

" With that, Jared plans to bring back S.H.I.E.L.D. in this situation, " Commander Bav-Tek added. " Along with the MTF forces. "

Shade groaned slightly when he heard the initials, MTF. Old Methu-Selah cocked his eyebrows at the Abyss Watcher and crossed his both arms, secretly using his Kree Cosmic Awareness. Amnon never paid attention to his father and the dark man.

" That can be a possibility if it happens. Right, Dad? " the pink Kree called his father's attention and gave him a suggestive look.

Methu-Selah nodded and replied, " Yes, the Rebel Forces consist of former MIBs, SHIELD, Avengers, and other forces aside from the Kree exiles will be joining the fight. "

" In some way, it reminded me of the Late Jake Fury's dream, " Jared sadly bowed his head and heavily sighed.

" If possible, could you tell us what he dreamed of? Or is it unknown? " Mist curiously asked.

The half-reptilian man turned to his blonde best friend and gloomily said, " Perhaps, your old man may answer her question. I'm really not in the mood to tell this..."

" Understood, " Amnon nodded, looked at his father, and asked. " Dad, are you letting them see just like you have shown me back in Ethiopia? "

" Son, I require you to join with me to witness that too, " the Kree Eternal said.

" Okay, I'm in. "

Methu-Selah held Amnon's right hand and touched Mist and Shade's foreheads. The three ended up in a trance as the Kree Eternal looked at them and moved his head around. They stood on the same spot that happened two years ago. The Kree father and son as well as the two Abyss Watchers turned their attention to the two men walking from a distance. The brunette half-reptilian person was very familiar, but his companion was a tall bald African-American man in his late sixties and holding a cane. The four turned their attention to them, overhearing the two men's conversation.

" Sir, I know your chance of recovery from cancer is 50-50, " Jared said with a concern. " You still have a chance to fight and help us win this prolonged war. "

" Coulson, the European Rebel Forces along with the Foundation troops successfully accomplished their mission in Bern several weeks ago. I may no longer require to serve, " his ailing superior replied. " I know this motherf+$(#ing disease will help me kick the bucket very soon. Elder Maria Hill told me to take it easy before I slip away. She recommended you to be my successor in the days ahead. "

The half-Lizard man seemed to be very perplexed and crossed his arms. He scratched his scaly chin and deeply thought before he could respond. Amnon watched his best friend and understood of his feeling which he didn't want someone to die.

" Commander Fury, I don't understand, " Jared anxiously broke his silence. " Is it because you're dying? "

" Yep, " Jacob Fury nodded and sadly smiled. " Just talked with the doctor two weeks ago before I had a word with Old Hill. I have three to four months to live. "

Three to four months to live? Amnon overheard the previous American Rebel Forces commander's words and gradually realised of Jared's promotion. He looked at his father and the other two as they were listening further.

" Commander Fury...I mean Jake..." Jared paused and continued. " I am not even ready to be a leader yet. We still need you, sir. You still can guide us, right? "

" Coulson, you have reached at this stage and spent working for several decades. Your lizard buddy, Svet could have joined us here. He should have stayed with us, " Fury chuckled and continued. " Besides, Old Methuselah Belladonna just mentioned that to me when I met him in Addis Ababa a few years ago. Here's his exact verbatim from the Old Blue Cat, " The people will need your help until the whole planet gets freed from pain and terror of the tyrant and his league. You will rise from the ashes and rebuild a protector from impending dangers. " "

Amnon again overheard the words of the commander and turned to his father. The Kree Eternal Methu-Selah sincerely smiled and nodded at his son. Mist and Shade were still silent and listening.

" Do you believe in that Old Blue Cat, Fury? " Jared curiously asked. " When is it going to happen? Who's gonna stop the tyrant? "

" That remains a mystery to me, Coulson, " his superior seriously answered. " He never gave me further details of that prophecy. Spending more time to think of that prophetic statement and Old Hill's recommendation, you'll bring back S.H.I.E.L.D. just like the old days, but you're all gonna defeat the Indestrucs in days to come."

" How? Like we have difficult enemies to fight? "

" Who knows? You'll bring more people. That's what I've been dreaming of. Fighting evil people and protecting everyone, just like our folks in the past had done, " Fury smiled and gently placed his hand to his subordinate's shoulder.

Jared looked at his superior and nodded in agreement, " Okay, I guess I have to work on it, sir. "

" Jared, you're one of the Lizards whoknows the full truth. I'm glad that you have proven yourself in joining the rebels. You're the only one who will fulfill it aside from more manpower. You want to be just like your great grand uncle, right? "

" Yes, sir, " the half-Lizard nodded and smiled. " Pretty much. "

" Well, that sums it. Now, be the man that he had dreamed off. Okay? "

" Definitely, I will. "

Methu-Selah turned to his son and the other two as they were done watching and listening the conversation from the two men. Then, he instantly snapped his fingers when they returned into their consciousness when the three opened their eyes. Jared and Absalom waited for them to speak up.

" Well? Are you guys all right? " the half-Lizard curiously asked. Shade remained speechless and crossed his arms as he couldn't think of what he could say and bewildered.

" It's really heartwarming, " Mist answered. " And, we can help you out with you causes. I know your gaining allies left and right, but the faster you'll be receiving allies, the better. "

Jared smiled, " It is true. Jake could have seen this, if he were still living with us. "

" I'm sure he's still smiling upon you and your accomplishments wherever he is now, " she sweetly smiled at him and replied.

" Thank you. "

" You're welcome, " Mist gently hugged him.

Upon looking and overhearing the conversation, the rest of the crowd from the former Triskelion residents, Avengers Compound, the interdimensional exiles, and former slaves turned their attention to the half-reptilian man and stood from their seats. Elder Daisy Johnson, Anton Mackenzie, Amanda Coulson, and the other SHIELD Agents' descendants were all smiling at him. Methu-Selah and Amnon-Selah placed their hands at Jared's shoulders. Shade couldn't help, but smiled slightly at them.

" Guys, seriously?!" Jared widened his eyes in shock and looked at his best friend and everyone.

" We've got your back, Jared, " Amnon sincerely smiled and replied. " We all believe in you. Now, go fulfill that dream. "

Another young half-Lizard man with short dark blonde locks who stood up, approached the leader, and said, " Sir, on behalf of my greater grand uncle Steve Rogers who is also here with us today, we want to thank you for letting us staying here and allowing us to fight. "

" You must be? "

" Joshua Samuel Rogers, " the lizard hybrid smiled and saluted. " It's an honor to work with you, sir. "

" Thank you...I mean, thank you all..." Jared wept joyfully and rubbed his eyes.

" You're welcome, Jared. You're a great friend to anyone, " Mist replied and warmly smiled at him.

" Heh, " Shade grinned.

Absalom Bav-Tek walked over and carried the old S.H.I.E.L.D. emblem which the MTF troopers had brought him around two days ago and said, " Here you go, Director Coulson. Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. "

Jared felt inspired and nodded as he said, " Okay guys, let's get into business. "

Everyone got out of their seats and cheered at them, except for Shade, who only clapped. Methu-Selah sighed in relief and smiled when his son looked at him.

" Now, your prophecy came true, Dad, " Amnon whispered and asked. " Do you know what will happen next? "

" We will tell the good news to your mother once she wakes up, " the Kree Eternal replied.

" Right, she's still sleeping, " he understood.

" Son, you don't expect someone who will enter this place, " his father reminded and used his Kree Cosmic Awareness, sensing another energy in the area.

" Dad, please don't tell me..."

" No, it's neither from the Abyss or anyone from Kasius's league. It's magic. I presume I have met this man in Washington DC. "

" What?! "

The Kree father and son noticed a bright portal coming from the wall. An elderly bearded sorcerer dressed in a blue robe and a sentient scarlet cape. He stepped into the premises and summoned his hands to close the magical portal. Amnon was dumbfounded and speechless to see what the man had done.

" Never seen real magic spells, kid? " the man's deep smooth voice echoed.

" Ehhh....Ahhhh...Uhhhm..." the pink Kree dumbly responded.

" My apologies to my son, Stephen, " the Kree Eternal wryly grinned and chuckled. " He has never seen in anything like it. "

" I understand, Old Methu. He must be the boy who escaped from a doomed Foundation Facility in California and spent five decades travelling around the world in chaotic times. "

" Yes, he is. "

" Sorry? " Amnon obliviously tilted his head and asked Methu-Selah. " Dad, who is he? "

" Son, this is my friend, Doctor Stephen Strange, " the ancient Kree introduced the sorcerer and turned to the other elderly man. " Stephen, this is my son, Amnon-Selah. I mean... his human name, Amnon Joseph Danvers-Montmartre. "

Elder Strange intently looked at the young pink Kree, smiled, and respectfully bowed and knelt at him, " This man is more than meets the eye. He's a very interesting fellow. It's a pleasure to meet you, young prince of Planet Hala. "

" M-Me, A P-Prince of Planet Hala?! " Amnon nervously gulped and stuttered, laughing. " Y-You must be kidding, right?! "

" I have read a book of a young alien prince who lived inside the secluded dungeon with a monstrous beast. I heard rumours of the Foundation kept a boy like you. That legend and your life parallels to one another, your intergalactic highness, Prince Amnon-Selah. "

" Daaaad?! " the pink Kree raised his voice in fear and looked at his father. " Doctor Strange is freaking me out! Is he insane just like me?! "

" No, he's not, " Methu-Selah softly chuckled and gently patted his son's back. " He's just comparing you to the story. You're not even aware if it will come true! "

" My apologies, my dear prince. Perhaps, I owe you and your father some explanations about the mystic arts and sorcery in relation to this prolonged invasion. "

" But Doctor, I'm not a prince. I'm just a secretary..."

" I have known that, young prince. Come with me. "

" To be frank and no offense, sir, " Amnon nervously chuckled and grinned. " You may be a great sorcerer, but you sound like my indestructible abuser back in Site 19. Your voice and tone is too deep as his. I'm so sorry if I compare you to him. "

Doctor Strange frowned and heavily sighed, becoming unamused, " Your Highness, don't compare me with that beast. I'll bring you to the Sanctum. "

" Son, let's keep it going, " the Kree Eternal gestured his son.

" Right...Sorry..."

(SANCTUM SANCTORUM: GREENWICH VILLAGE, MANHATTAN: 5:25 AM)

The 20th century residential building remained standing and protected by a magical force field. Once the Kree and the Lizards would dare to infiltrate, they would get stunned to death and transform into ashes. Only Doctor Strange himself could enter the area using his teleportation spells. When the Kree father and son entered the end of the portal, they saw some ancient artifacts and items being contained inside the glass. There were several books of spells and tales on each bookshelves.

" Sir, How long have you been living here? " Amnon curiously asked.

" It's been fifty-two years since the start of the Kree-Lizard invasion, Your Highness, " Strange replied. " Your father has left the Foundation facility and visited me before the verge of those attacks and skirmish. "

" So, you protected this place for a long time, I took it? "

" Through the ways of magic, of course. "

" Stephen, my son and I had discussed about the Darkness and Abyss, " the Kree Eternal changed the topic.

" I see, " Strange nodded and stepped down on the stairs along with the two Kree men, warning them. " Gentlemen, I believe the forces of the Abyss cannot be defeated. In your terms, a dark god cannot be killed and can revive himself in another form. "

" I think I can remember saying that before in Ethiopia, doctor, " Amnon replied and recalled. " My father showed me a vision of chaos which the Abyssal Lord's disciple had created. I mentioned to him the only way is to destroy the dark soul, however it will be too complicated to deal with. "

" I understand, " Dr. Strange heavily sighed and nodded.

" In a related thought, Did you try to defeat Dormammu, Stephen? " Methu-Selah asked.

" Several times and failed, " the elderly sorcerer answered. " The darkness may be a powerful force just like the light, but there are entities who wanted and attained the force from the Abyss like Dormammu, Salem, and many others. They used it for their own benefit. "

" Dad, have you ever tried fighting them before I was created twice? " Amnon curiously queried his father.

As Strange and Amnon-Selah were ready to listen, Old Methu-Selah heavily sighed and deeply thought, recalling, " I was a captain of the Kree Imperial Army when I landed here on Earth around 200 AD after dealing against the Skrulls. At that time, your Terran ancestors were under the Roman Empire rule. I have dealt with your people and the emperor himself which happened to be benevolent support mission for scientific and technological advancement. The Kree people like me at those times found the humans as potential allies of the Kree Empire. Something had changed when I encountered Manus in Britannia. He was a young Master of the Dark Arts. He never had the Dark Soul or proclaimed himself as the God of Darkness and Humanity. Manus sensed my Light Soul and challenged me to fight me. I refused since my mission on Earth was not for war. He dared me to fight, but I lost. I returned to planet Hala afterwards and reported that incident, however one of them had an ability of the darkness rejected me. It was someone from the House of Kasius. "

" So, another disciple of the Abyss, I assume? " Strange asked.

" Yes, it's the same person who influenced the Lord Supremor and banished me from my homeworld, after I envisioned of what will happen on Earth and before Manus inherited the Dark Soul, " the Kree Eternal replied and sadly sighed.

" Dad, I wish I could hear the detail of your story. I'm sorry you had experienced it back then, " Amnon empathised. " I understood why you wandered off throughout the cosmos and spent in hiding. "

" Son, perhaps, you can read my journals and write my adventures, " the Kree Eternal said.

" Possibly, that descendant could be looking after it, " Strange presumed and crossed his arms. " But not directly, perhaps it could be another person. "

" I believe my son has a dream of seeing a witch, " Methu-Selah replied and turned to the young pink Kree. " Is that right, Amnon? "

" Yes, Dad. Pretty much like it. It's a witch, " Amnon nodded.

" A witch you say, Your Highness? " Strange asked.

" I believe so. "

Suddenly, the Kree Eternal secretly sensed a strange aura and coldness using his Cosmic Awareness and moved his head around. He looked uneasy as his son and sorcerer friend noticed him.

" Dad? What's going on? " Amnon queried his father with concern.

" Amnon, Stephen, I can sense them coming, " Methu-Selah answered anxiously.

" Who? " Strange added.

" It's them! "
