Prologue
(Emerald Forest, Republic of Remnant, 5:30 AM)
Inside the cave, there was a jet structure where it remained to be dormant for several years. The cold water dropped from the sturdy limestone pillars on the cave ceilings. The grey metallic structure had a Decepticon symbol on its left metallic shoulder.
Suddenly, the metallic being began to detect a strange energy signature from the outside. Its red eyes began to glow and opened. It crawled out of the cave and left.
" This is strange, " it thought. " Are the Decepticons after me for a long time? Or is it something else? "
The large grey metallic being with wings appeared to be a male Decepticon. He walked around the forest and began scanning for any lifeforms who would go at this point.
Suddenly, he saw a crocodile Faunus man walking around the forest and holding some fishing gear. The man was about to go to the river and catch a fresh fish. The mechanical being appeared at him as the Faunus widened his eyes in fear.
" Who the heck are you?! " he yelled. " Are you those guys who try to take over the planet and take down lives?! "
" No, I don't belong to any faction, I have been here for two centuries, " the living machine replied.
" Two centuries?! What the hell are you talking about?! "
" I came from that cave over there and spent sleeping. "
" You can't be serious, " the Faunus said in disbelief.
" I am telling the truth, sir. I sensed a strange energy signature..."
" Strange energy signature? What the hell are you talking about?! "
" Extraterrestrial in origin..."
" Hold on, you mean those alien invaders running and destroying around the world?! "
" Yes..."
" Oh no..." the crocodile Faunus anxiously muttered and widened his eyes in fear as his fingers and tail began to decimate. Some of his body parts turned into ashes.
" This is what I have detected..." the machine replied.
" Just get out of here! Run away! Stay away from any trouble! "'
The crocodile Faunus man became ashes when the metallic being followed his final words. Then, he wandered around the forest and started finding for any refuge. He looked around when he saw some people who fought the Cabal and the Behni from a distance. At the moment, he noticed the other soldiers and refugees being decimated, except for the invaders which they kept destroying and fighting.
" Definitely, this is not a work of Megatron or the others, " he thought. " It's something else. I need to find a place where I could escape and hide. "
The mechanical being instantly left and headed into the woods, however there were two vehicles roaming around the highway. The first one was a Red Plymouth GTX and the other, a blue AMC Javelin. They stopped and parked at the middle of the highway as they sensed a familiar energy signature.
" Drop-Kick, did you notice something? " the female voice from the red muscle car asked.
" Yeah, very familiar, " the blue one answered. " What is he doing in this time of the invasion? "
" Skyblade can be anywhere else in this place. I'm sure he's upto something. "
" Hiding in the woods? "
" Yes. "
" Should we find him? "
" This is not the right time to locate him. For now, we will just witness the destruction of this planet. Megatron tells us about this ancient prophecy from the Kree race. "
" Right, Shatter, " he said. " Let's see what will happen to these humans in facing their fate. "
" We can make time to find that traitor anytime soon. "
(A Month Later: Avengers West Coast Compound, 11:45 PM)
A blonde pink-Kree man dressed in a dark long-sleeve shirt and a pair of dark pants took his maintenance medicine and drank his glass of water. He instantly sat down on his bed and yawned which he was about to meet his slumber. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door and sighed.
" For Hala's sake, what now?! " he grumblingly thought. " Don't tell me, it's Shade the Abyss Watcher has gone with his brutal raids against HYDRA. Now, I need to cover-up for whatever he is doing right now. "
The Kree man opened the door and saw the dark haired Inhuman dressed in black. He sighed in relief and exasperatedly said, " Dr. P. Isn't it too late for me to check and study all the documents? I'm about to have my shut-eye at the moment! Look, I have just come from a sudden HYDRA raid after I went shopping earlier. Can you guys give me some rest? We'll talk about this by tomorrow morning. "
" Lawson, someone needs to meet and talk to you. It's very important, " Dr. P replied.
Amnon Montmartre or Mr. Marvel, who took the name Agent Lawson, secretly sensed a familiar heat energy. He already knew he encountered that being from the streets earlier. Dr. P noticed the Kree Eternal's sudden silence and curiously raised his right eyebrow.
" Lawson, did the cat get your tongue again? " the Inhuman MIB scientist asked.
" Oh, cheese! I must have been overthinking, " Amnon facepalmed and sighed. " Is that important or what? "
" It is. "
" Just tell that guy, he can get into my room, " the Kree Eternal replied.
" I'm sorry for disturbing your slumber, Agent Lawson. I know you're not allowed to stay up late, because of your terminal condition. "
" No, no. It's fine, pop him through. I'll have a chat with him. "
Dr. P nodded and left the hallway as Amnon leaned his back on the door and waited for his evening visitor. He turned his head around when peace and sleep were visiting in this place. Just then, he saw a grey haired man wearing a cloak. Amnon expected him to arrive and let the visitor enter his room.
" This is surely a nice place, Agent Lawson, " the visitor spoke.
" Thanks, " Amnon nodded and closed the door. " By the way, please don't mind the broken window. Something had happened before. "
" You mean an intruder who was about to take your life? "
" Yeah, sort of..." the Kree Eternal offered his visitor a seat. " Please sit down. Make yourself at home. "
" Thank you. "
" Do you need anything to drink or eat? "
" No, thanks..."
Amnon took his glass of water when he instantly sat down on his couch. Zeta thought of asking something to him. The Kree Eternal secretly read his mind and pretended to be curious, thinking of a topic to begin with.
" So, you need to talk about something related to this situation? " he asked.
" Yes. "
" Okay, go on. "
" Agent Lawson, I have a question. Were you hiding in the alley when Mr. Marvel came? "
Amnon got alarmed which he never wanted to disclose his alter-ego to anyone else in this universe. He drank his glass and thought about the visitor's question.
" Yes, why? "
" When those HYDRA people were looking and chasing after you, I confronted them. You missed the blue Kree man who came to help me fighting them. "
" You mean, Mr. Marvel, right? " Amnon placed his empty glass of water and raised his left hand in interjection. " I'm pretty sure he caught them along with you before those SHIELD Agents came. "
" Yes, " Zeta nodded. " While he was with me, I never saw you at the alley. "
" While fighting, you're looking after me? "
" Yes. I got curious why you had disappeared. "
" I was hiding behind the garbage and then I got stuck on the trash can. Mr. Marvel could have taken me out of there, but he was busy fighting along with you. "
Zeta raised his eyebrows in doubt and seemed not convinced at the Kree Eternal's excuses. Amnon thought of blocking his mind, in order to protect himself from being discovered as Mr. Marvel. Finally, he thought of diverting his visitor by changing the topic.
" Anyways, I have a question for you, " Amnon broke his silence and clasped his both hands. " You said earlier that you're not from Earth. Where did you come from and why are you here? "
" I am from the planet Cybertron. My own people were duelling at each other for several years, " Zeta explained. " I was once from the faction called the Decepticons. We did terrible things in my home planet and elsewhere in the cosmos. We have invaded your planet, Agent Lawson. "
Amnon heavily sighed and never realized that planet Hala in this universe had invaded by Megatron. He bowed his head in sadness as Zeta noticed him.
" Is there something wrong in what I have said? "
" It's just I have never heard about my home planet in this universe has experienced such hardships, " the Kree seriously replied. " Back in my universe, they invaded my Earth for fifty years. Then, in return, they got invaded by the Skrulls. "
" I see, this is for corrupted conquest and revenge. "
" Exactly. From what I have heard about your statement, it seemed you never wanted to be involved with your former acquaintances. Am I right? "
" Yes, " Zeta firmly answered. " I have been living and hiding for two centuries on this planet from my enemies. If I return to my home planet, they will attempt to kill me. I need your help to stay...."
" Okay, for the meantime you can stay here. Like I said earlier, I need to stay safe from HYDRA. You also should do the same thing from your enemies. "
" Of course, sir. "
" Second question. Aside from being chased by your enemies, what are they after for? "
" Megatron has heard of your ancient tale of the twelve Infinity Stones, " Zeta answered. " He has been looking for a powerful golden object, known as the Control Stone. "
Amnon remained silent and thought of Dr. P had taken the ownership of the Infinity Stone. He paused and started composing his response to his visitor. The Kree Eternal suspiciously looked at him and crossed his arms.
" Are you looking for it to give it to your master? " he doubtfully asked.
" No, I'm out of their league. I have no interest for acquiring it, " Zeta truthfully answered. " I know you found me suspicious, but I come here on Earth for my exile. I don't have any intention to harm you, all. You can ask Mr. Marvel , if you see him. He has witnessed what I have done this evening to save you from your enemies. "
Amnon intently looked at him and understood as he recalled what happened earlier. He read Zeta's mind and smiled.
" I'm glad you're being honest, " he said.
" Yes, " he nodded. " Agent Lawson, I do understand you're hiding something. I have been doing this for two centuries. If you have something in mind, I promise not to disclose your secret. "
" If I remember correctly, you're a grey machine with wings. "
" Yes, sir. I would have a hard time to reveal myself here. "
" I hope you won't break your promise, " Amnon sternly said, slammed his golden bands, and illuminated his whole body.
Finally, Zeta saw how the lanky semi-balded blond man transformed into a well-built blue Kree masked man with silvery white hair. Decepticon smiled and understood who the man really was.
" I knew you were that Kree hero all along. "
" It's better to conceal this before they discover who I really am, " Mr. Marvel said.
" So, you're also a bearer of an Infinity Stone? "
" Yes," he nodded and showed the blue stone to the visitor. " This is the Space Stone. I can travel elsewhere by using it."
" How about the one with the Control stone? "
" An Inhuman scientist who dresses in black. You need to protect him from your enemies. "
" I see. So, he is the one who will help me in the future? "
" Yes, please do anything to protect him. He is the key for your mission. "
" I will, Mr. Marvel. "
