(The Next Day)

Working around the yard, Amnon spent mowing the garden lawn after studying his training course modules. His older half-sister had gone for some errands and duties. He kept thinking about Shega's existence which he got curious.

" I wonder why she fails to get the wishes correctly, " he thought and kept busying himself at the lawn. " Oh, well. I have been overthinking again. Perhaps, I should finish this. "

Looking around, he heard some strange music being played inside the house and sensed energy.

" Welp, there we go again...."

The younger Kree Eternal opened the door and got surprised to see what had transpired. He saw her dancing in a loud upbeat Middle-Eastern music.

" What on Hala?! " he muttered and saw the sudden distortion of the objects and furnitures within the house. Shega was happily dancing and strutting herself following the tempo.

Shega noticed him and stopped dancing the furniture and the room returned to normal like nothing happened. Amnon dropped his jaw to his astonishment.

" Welcome back master. You ok? You look oddly shocked, " she asked.

A growling noise was heard coming from somewhere outside. Shega and Amnon walked outside to find an odd yet majestic sight. In the distance was a rather large wolf with fur made of blue flames. It eyed the Kree and then glared at the genie and howled eerily. The Kree Eternal sensed some danger and moved his head around, ignoring the wolf and turning to the genie.

" Look, I know you're happy dancing at this moment. " he said and raised his hands in interjection. " It's just I got concerned with the neighbors might find bizarre to see those things get distorted. You know what I mean. "

Shega got surprised when some of the people turned their attention to her and murmured.

" See? " Amnon turned to the people and to Shega. " I think we should get inside and have a drink. "

The wolf curled up and burned out in a bright flash burning an odd pattern on the ground. Amnon turned around to the wolf and ignored it as he closed the door. He went to check some lemonade from the refrigerator and took two glasses. Shega turned to him and saw him serving the drinks. Then, he took some chocolate cookies as a snack.

" There, have a choccy biccy, " the Kree Eternal offered her a plate of cookies and took a bite. Shega took one and bit into it, a look of joy came over her face.

" Mmmm...delicious!!! What is this? " she asked.

" Chocolate chip cookies, I baked them just this morning. For the Aussies, they call it choccy biccy, " he answered.

Shega quickly ate the rest and chanted joyfully, " More! More!"

" Oh, you liked it? " he smiled and stood up, returning to the kitchen and taking the cookies from the refrigerator. " Okay, I still have some. There you go. "

Shega was happy to see her new master got his baked goodies and placed it on the table.

" I have a question though, did your masters treat you like this? " he asked.

She frowned and sadly sighed, " Not usually... Erickson Valkin did though sort of..."

" Okay, so this is your first time that you meet me, " he said. " I guess you're gonna get used to live in this age. Though, you have a lot to learn. " He snapped his fingers and remembered. " Wait, there is something I want to tell you about. I....I...."

The Kree Eternal turned to the magazine page of a famous Australian tourist spot and saw a picture of a couple when he sadly sighed. Shega curiously looked at him. Suddenly, the house tilted from side to side rather violently knocking several things over.

" Earthquake shakes molehill..." a male voice echoed from the outside.

" Cheese, " Amnon anxiously muttered and instantly grabbed Shega's hand when they ducked and covered under the table. A large hand punched through the right wall.

" Wood pecker cracks wall! ", said the same male voice, but this time with more enthusiasm.

" Let's get outta here! " Amnon exclaimed and took Shega away.

Amnon and Shega kept running away from the intruders. The neighborhood turned to them and got curious. They became more frantic to see what's happening and paused their own work.

" Oi, mate, what's going on?! " a red-headed man asked.

" Hey, Bud. May I borrow your phone please?! I've just left it in my sister's house. "

" I beg your pardon? " the man asked.

" I need your phone, this is an emergency! " he stressedly said and panted. " The house is being destroyed!! "

The red-headed man gulped in fear when he saw the intruders were coming and gave his phone to the Kree man.

" Right-O, just call the coppers! Quick! "

" Thanks, mate, " Amnon nodded and received the device. He dialled the numbers. " This is Amnon Montmartre, I'm calling for an emergency! We have intruders! Please send someone to get them! My sister's house gets messed up! "

" We will be on our way for ten minutes or less as priority ten, " a female voice answered.

" Thanks, just hurry-up, please! "

A voice echoed in the young Kree Eternal's mind, " Bad idea...idea...idea..."

The Kree Eternal ignored the voice and turned to Shega and the others. He sighed in relief when the police cars came. The neighborhood got alarmed when they arrived.

" Thank goodness, " he muttered and gave the phone to the neighbor.

" This is the NSW police! " a female voice echoed from the megaphone. " We ask you to leave the premises at once! "

An old man in really good shape walked out into view. His hair was long and wild, a vivid shade of white. His eyes were milky revealing him to be blind.

" Thank God, an officer. Can you help a poor blind old man? " he asked and felt disoriented, scratching his head. " I appear to be lost."

" Sir, I beg your pardon? " another male officer asked.

Amnon intently looked at the old man and secretly read his mind. Shega was standing beside him and looking more apprehensive than ever. The old man trembled and fumbled as he tried to walk.

" I got separated from my tour group yesterday after we left Tasmania," he said feebly. " I've been stuck in the wilderness ever since."

" Sir, you're at Bondi Junction in Sydney, New South Wales, " the Kree Eternal answered and asked, still feeling suspicious at him. " May I know your name please? "

The old man sniffed the air taking in the Kree Eternal's scent. Suddenly,he caught a whiff of perfume and coughed, looking sick for a second.

" Fu...Strongberg, they call me. Back in my heyday, I was a martial arts master. But as you can see, an accident robbed me of sight long ago..."

The Kree Eternal widened his eyes in shock and controlled his powers. The policemen surrounded the old man along with the neighborhood. Shega was also cautious and turning her head around. Amnon thought of diverting the attention and created a fake sneeze.

" Sorry..." he wryly smiled.

Fu sadly sighed and smiled in a strange way, " I have no family since my brother died. I guess he is always with me in spirit. "

" Sir, I think we should bring you to the office, " the policewoman said. " We have an incident report from a concerned resident whose house got mocked up by intruders. Perhaps, we should keep you safe from them. "

" Nice one, mate, " the Kree Eternal sighed in relief.

Another old man wearing a cap and Australian farming clothes walked over to the officer.

" Speaking of odd things, officer. Did you read the report I submitted yesterday? "

One of the officers looked at the man skeptically, " You're the farmer that claimed his scarecrows attacked his cattle in Tobruk, ain't ya?"

The Kree Eternal turned around and raised his eyebrows, crossing his arms. He secretly read the newcomer's mind. Shega was more afraid than ever and still holding the Kree's hands.

" How did that bloke get here? " the old woman asked. " What state are you from?! "

" I'm still in New South Wales! "
the farmer heatedly exclaimed and jumped up and down. " You don't believe me at all, do you?! Can't count on the police these days.."

The male officer gave the old farmer a serious look and said, " I'm going to ask you to calm down..."

The farmer became more agitated and found them ridiculous, " I lost three cows this week. Vanished like ghosts...saw a strange wolf on the property a week before it happened. The thing was unnatural, I tell ya."

The Kree Eternal intently listened at the conversation and sensed something's off with the man. Shega looked at him with a concern.

" Master? " she lowly asked. " I'm so scared. "

" Just stay here with me, " he whispered. " We have to be in low profile. "

" Look, we are still investigating that strange wolf and those scarecrows, but we need further evidences from your claim, " the police officer answered.

Fu perked his ears at the farmers tale and asked curiously, " Tell me, sir. Do these scarecrows talk in fortune cookie like nonsense? "

The farmer was dumbstruck and replied, " Yes, mate. How did you know? "

" He does not quit and continues to chase me. He will never rest."

" Your brother, you say?! But you said he was dead?! "

" Dead,yes,but not gone. If you take me to your farm, maybe I can calm this nightmare you now live in."

The rest of the people got dumbfounded along with the policemen. Amnon and Shega were still listening at the conversation.
Fu's smile became twisted for a split second and went unnoticed.

" I've dealt with him before. These scary things only happen at night, yes? "

The farmer nodded astounded by the knowledge of his problem Fu had.

" Sorry, to interrupt you people, is this relevant to what I am experiencing today? " Amnon asked with a concern. " My sister's house got bantered by intruders. You're telling us about scarecrows somewhere else. "

" As I stumbled, I did feel something hard made of stone near a house, " he lightly sneezed and said shakily. " It's left hand was in the house's wall and seemed odd."

The young Kree Eternal quickly ran over to the side of the house. Indeed, with its hand in the wall was a stone statue with big hands. It was missing its head and was still as death.

The farmer walked up behind him and loudly gasped, " Oh, Bloody Hell! Why that was from my farm?! It vanished from my property two days ago! "

" I do apologise for what happened to your farm, sir, " he calmly answered and heavily sighed. " Now, how am I going to explain this to my sister? She will blame for everything that happened! "

Fu gave them a look of concern, " The sooner I stop the haunting, the sooner we can forget about this spooky business."

" What's going on?! " a middle-aged Kree hybrid arrived and left her car.

Amnon looked nervous and turned to his older half-sister. Eumeralla crossed her arms and indignantly glared at him. She was not pleased to see what had transpired to her house. The neighbors saw them and murmured.

" Ella, Shega and I have just left the house. I just finished lawn mowing when something happened. Someone almost broke the house down. "

" You are being negligent the whole time, Amjoe! " she indignantly replied and pointed her index finger at him.

" Sis, I'm not being negligent! " he raised his voice. " Something has happened this afternoon! I called the cops when the intruder just appeared! "

" You are making up excuses! "

" No, I am not! "

" Master Amnon took me away from those beings, " Shega added. " He's telling the truth. "

" Beings?! Where? " Ella asked and raised her voice. " I didn't see anything. I'm seeing the coppers and some neighbours here! What's going on, seriously?! You two are getting ridiculous!! "

" No, we aren't, Sis! " Amnon reasoned and pointed at the side of the house. " Can't you just look at it for yourself?! "

" Fine, I'll take a look, " his older half-sister indignantly replied. " I want to make sure, you don't make any senseless stories and excuses. "

A voice spoke to the Kree Eternal's mind this time loud, " The farmer is just appetizer...in the night we come.You can't keep girl from us. lies...lies..lies..."

" Cut the crap out of it!! " he angrily gritted his teeth and sighed.

" Amjoe, You're right. I think we can fix the house, tomorrow. " Ella said and inspected the damage.

" See?! " Amnon shrugged. " A trip to the hardware store will do. "

" Master, I'm sorry this has happened, " Shega sadly sighed.

" I know, we're gonna fix this. It's not your fault, Shega, " he said and thought of something, checking the hole. " Maybe, we can temporarily cover that hole with a black garbage bag or a cloth. "

" Right, " Ella nodded. " Then, Next thing to do is to sort it out with bricks and hard cement. You are responsible for doing it. "

" Got it, " Amnon sighed.

Fu and the farmer got into a pickup truck and sped off east towards the old man's farm. The cops cleared out the crowd and once everything settled down waved and returned to thier cars, leaving the neighborhood quiet once more. The rest of the crowd returned to their normal lives. The two half-siblings and the genie entered the house like nothing happened.

" Sis, I am sensing that old guy is an intruder, " Amnon whispered. " I just played along with him. "

" Really? " Ella asked in disbelief. " Why didn't you say so, earlier? "

" He ruined your house. If I tell this to you outrightly infront of the crowd, they will laugh at me for sure. "

" Bloody Hell..." she angrily muttered. " I think we need our mum's help, if he comes again. "

" Good idea...I know you don't have the powers from the light soul like she has. "

" I still inherited her Kree guts and superstrength, " Ella replied and raised her hand interjection. " I can't do the light show which you and mum always do. I'm proud to be human and part-Kree. It doesn't matter to me at all. "

" Copy that. "

Shega took her seat on the couch in the living room when Amnon sat down and still looked at the image. He sadly sighed and bowed his head. His older half-sister noticed and looked concerned at him.

" You're missing her, aren't ya? " she asked and smiled.

" Yeah..." Amnon sighed when Shega was about to say something and listening. " You know, Sis. I spent half a year here in Down Under without contacting anyone from SHIELD and MTF America. "

" I know, your flight training occupies you, " she continued. " Love grows fonder when you're away. I hope you will see that special someone very soon. "

Shega smiled and looked at Amnon when she overheard the conversation. The genie knew what to do and attracted his attention by snapping her fingers.

" I could try to...maybe..summon her here..." she hesitantly answered.

" Really? " he curiously raised his voice. The Kree Eternal was eager to see the one whom he had spared in the slave den six months ago. " Do you know who she is? Can you do it for me? "

" It would have to be a wish though, hence why I said try..."

" Okay, " he nodded, took a holographic picture of a young cyborg woman with short golden locks and icy blue eyes, and showed to the genie. " So, this is Gourai Titanius. She's one of the former slaves which me and my teammates saved from the slave den in New York. Can you bring her here as my first wish? Please..."

Shega cracked her knuckles and smiled, " I can try but you have to say I wish..."

" Oh... wait... I have to get changed! " he said and rushed into his room getting his clothes and then to the bathroom. " One moment, Shega!! Let me fix myself, first! "

Shega patiently waited for her new master to prepare himself. It took several minutes for him to get a shower and change clothes. He sprayed himself with his perfume. Amnon was wearing a dark business suit and a light blue shirt and navy blue necktie. The genie was pleased to see him after he combed his hair and sprayed himself with men's perfume. He looked at his pair of black leather shoes if they're polished. His older half-sister curiously looked at her brother's appearance and knew what he would do.

" There, I wish to meet Gourai Titanius and date with her here in Australia. Please? "

Shega snapped her right fingers and winked when there was a poof of white smoke. It seemed like it worked. A mysterious being fell to the floor and instantly sat down. Ella was puzzled and seeing who the person was. Amnon was eager to see her, but he was coughing from the smoke and covered his eyes. Then, he slowly opened his eyes. The figure happened to be a seven-foot crossdressing man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a dark blue dress and high-heels, showing his hairy and strong muscular legs. The Kree Eternal's smile gradually turned into a frown of disappointment when he kept slapping his face in seeing his date.

" Hello, Love! " a deep male gruff voice with an Aussie accent cheerfully greeted him and winked, giving him a flying kiss.

Amnon's face cringed more than ever in seeing the person and nervously chuckled, thinking of running away. Ella intently looked at the crossdressing man and raised her eyebrows. Shega became more anxious than ever which she failed in fulfilling her master's first wish.

" Are you really, Gourai? " he doubtfully asked.

" Of course, I am! " the blonde man tightly hugged the Kree Eternal and kissed his cheek. " Do you still miss me, Love?! I do miss ya, ya know! "

" What on Earth? "

" What's wrong? Aren't ya thrilled to see me?! "

" This is a mistake...." he wryly grinned.

" No, it's not a mistake! You want to date with me! Where are you taking me, Love? "

" Ella, Shega!! Help!! "

The Kree Eternal was stepping back and running away from his date. The crossdressing man kept chasing him around. They were like cat and mouse in this scene. Ella and Shega were helplessly watching him.

" HELP!! "

" What's the matter, Love?! Why are you running away from me? I am really Gourai! " he exclaimed and grabbed Amnon's suit. " Come on, Love! Kiss me! "

" Not in my wildest dreams!! "

" Kiss me, please!!

" No, you're not Gourai! You can't be her!! "

" It is me! Please kiss me, like you did to me before! "

" Hey!! How am I gonna deal with this dude?!" the Kree Eternal loudly yelled and turned to the two ladies. " Don't just stand there and do something!! "

The crossdressing man was grabbed the Kree's suit as his face began to melt in horrific fashion.

" My love, please kiss meeeeee...... "

The man melted into a puddle screaming horrifically. It dried up and turned into just a stain on the floor as all went dead silent.

" Oh, goodness! " the Kree-Aussie woman commented in fear.

" Crap..." Amnon heavily sighed and facepalmed when he instantly sat on the couch.

" I know this is not the right time. It's not even meant to be, " Ella seriously spoke and sat beside her younger half-brother.

" I spent minutes in the shower and changed clothes. I was supposed to meet and date her, but that's not Gourai at all! Now, what am I supposed to do?! "

Shega sat down in between them, sniffled, and began to cry, " I messed up again. This is all my fault!! "

" Look, Shega...Nevermind, It's okay, " he said and gently patted her shoulders with a hint of disappointment and frustration. " I will find my way to contact her. "
