Chapter 162: Invasion Begins
Chapter 162: Invasion Begins
Loki was happy that he was caught now. But he was also worried because he had dropped the Iridium in Germany. He just hoped that someone would use the Scepter and release him from mind control.
...
Back in Germany, Hawkeye had picked the Iridium and had started setting up the portal maker on top of Alexander's newly built Universe Tower as it was the tallest.
The Avengers had the Scepter so someone had to retrieve it. And the one coming to get it was Ronan himself.
Ronan was directly in service of Thanos this time. But he had ulterior motives too. He was planning to take both stones and use them on Thanos. Then take over Thanos' fleet and became the Emperor of the Kree Empire.
...
Phixheim,
"Howard, tell me why Earth still doesn't have flying cars?" Dobby asked.
"I was limited by the technology of my time. I miscalculated the power needed to make them. Normal gas engines wouldn't have worked. I needed to make arc reactors for that. And it was impossible to make with technology at that time. I think Tony is using it now as I left knowledge of it for him." Howard explained.
Dobby nodded as it all actually made sense....
On Helicarrier,
Everyone was in a heated discussion of what should happen with Loki and Tesseract.
"You Humans experimented on it which led to this situation. You have no idea how many powerful beings in the universe are looking for the tesseract. Your open usage of it is simply like an invitation for them." Thor revealed.
Fury still did not budge, "That is why I was preparing."
Leonidas walked to the middle then. "Director Fury, you are a foolish man living like a fish in a closed pond. Thinking that the pond is the world.
"You have no idea what kind of strong entities live out there. So strong that destroying Earth is like flicking a finger for them. Hell, some of them even live on Earth. And here you are, planning on fighting them. You should first work towards uniting this planet under one banner. As long as you all are divided, you cannot protect yourself. No matter how strong your weapons are, you will always use them on each other first. That's just how humans are. Arrogant, short-sighted, and foolish. Asgard has been protecting Earth since humans were cave dwellers, so they have a better track record as Earth still exists.
"The rest is your choice. If you want to put your planet in unnecessary risk, be my guest." He went away and sat down.
Everyone looked shocked again,
"Boy, it was a good speech. But you don't make the decisions here, you're a damn alien and don't get a say..."
Thor angrily came forward and picked Fury by the neck. Natasha quickly took out her gun as if it was going to hurt him.
Thor looked at Fury and roared, "Don't disrespect, Leonidas. He alone can destroy this planet if he wants. His father can wipe this planet out of existence if he wants. Even Asgard respects uncle so you better do the same."
It seems Thor had become a fan of Alexander since he learned his lessons on Earth.
Tony was surprisingly silent all that time. Bruce as well, though he already knew everything.
Thor then let Fury go, but Fury again spoke. "This is not your planet. This is Earth, not Asgard..."
"I say, let them take the Tesseract." Tony suddenly chimed in.
Fury looked at him weirdly, "What are you saying? We can't..."
"I know you want to make weapons from them but let's be honest here. We can't even defeat one kid. No offense," he looked at Leonidas.
Leonidas shrugged, "None taken."
Tony continued, "Now imagine a whole alien army attacking us from space. Shield can not protect the planet. You don't even have permission to go to some countries. Like China. They would never let you make decisions for them. Leonidas is right, Humans aren't ready for the big leagues yet."
Leonidas was smiling as he saw a bit of Howard in Tony. Both were too similar. Surprisingly, Captain agreed to him. "Tony is right. We can't fend off an alien invasion yet."
Fury still didn't look convinced. He knew stuff about space from the incident of Captain marvel but that was it.
To put the final nail in the coffin, Bruce stood up. "You guys, I want to tell you all something. I've actually been to space. Don't ask how and why. Just know that I have seen things out there. There are Empires spanning Galaxies. Beings that can eat planets.
"I'm telling you, we aren't ready yet. If they come someday then we'll only be able to just sit and watch. And don't expect a quick death as space pirates and space warlords are a thing. They will enslave us and sell us in space. Then sell the planet to someone too. It's vicious and dangerous out there, guys."
Bruce's words hit most of them hard. They all would have accepted dying but getting enslaved was much scarier.
*BOOM*
A loud explosion happened in one of the thrusters. They all knew they were under attack so they went to fight.
They first went to check on their prisoner. None of them understood the importance of the Scepter yet so they left it alone.
"Foolish Terrans," Ronan said and stopped his camouflage. He was in the room for who knows how long.
He picked the Scepter and looked for Loki. He was still going to use the Asgardian.
On his way, he saw all the Avengers. He just tapped the Scepter on them and turned them against each other.
It was only Leonidas who was unaffected so Ronan made everyone attack him. While he went and took Loki away.
Fury returned to see the situation but was greeted by an ongoing fight, "What the f*ck is happening here?"
"He has done something to their mind with the Scepter," Leonidas replied.
~If the mind control is happening due to that Scepter, then there must be some connection between their minds and the Scepter. Alright, let's try this.~
Leonidas used magic to cover the bodies of the Avengers. It was like a thin shield over their bodies.
Soon, one by one, the Avengers stopped fighting.
"So this is what happened to Loki." Thor contemplated.
"This is not the time for discussion. Helicarrier is falling down. Stark, we need you at the second thruster." Fury announced. They all got back to work.
"Thanks," Steve said to Leonidas.
Natasha walked close to Leonidas and winked at him, "Thank you"
Leonidas turned red suddenly as his heartbeat increased. He didn't really have much interaction with women other than his mom and sisters so it was the first time for him to feel such a strong attraction towards someone.
~Is this love at first sight?~
...
It took a while for them to repair the Helicarrier. Fury went on to confess that he was planning on making weapons. He also told them about the Avengers Initiative. Phil Coulson still died. Which was actually a fake death Fury planned to get the Avengers together.
After a while, the newly formed Avengers secretly went ahead to get Loki as they had found him in New York. They couldn't find the blue alien that attacked them though.
Loki was still in Stark Tower as it had an open roof. While the portal machine was on top of Universe Tower. Tony confronted Loki and nearly got him. But just when he thought things couldn't get any worse.
A giant hole appeared in the sky and aliens started swarming out of it. There were some space ships(Ronan's) and lots of Chitauri and Leviathan too.
Tony looked at it all in horror, "We aren't ready for this"
...
Back at the damaged Helicarrier, Fury was getting ready to talk with the Council. But then an unknown uninvited legendary guest landed on the Helicarrier.
Alexander appeared in his old army dress but now he was wearing a dark green Trench coat. His shoulders and collar were decorated with 6 golden stars each. A wide smile, sunglasses and a cigar made him look exactly like he used to. Dobby also followed behind in an Army Uniform.
The truth was, Alexander had made so many changes secretly. On occasions, he had made the government make amendments to the constitution that now give him higher authority in the matters of national security. Even higher than the president. He had also never removed his name from serving military personnel records. He was currently the head of every defense organization in the U.S.A.
"Let's get this started, Dobby." He loudly said and went to find Fury.
He passed by many people and everyone was left with their jaws dropped. Some thought it was cosplay.
He saw Fury talking to Agent Hill, "Haha, Agent Hill, how are you? Ready to work with me?"
Agent Hill quickly ignored Fury and saluted him, "Yes sir, it'll be an honor."
Fury confusedly looked behind. His remaining eye nearly popped out due to the shock and only one bad word came out of his mouth.
"MOTHERFU*KER"
