Orochimaru's team was special. They were given a timeline of 1 month maximum and if they weren't able to return, the Avengers would take matters into their own hands. And thus the long wait had started. Soon a month had gone by.
During this one month a special team of SHIELD was set up in Ta Lo to look after the broken door and make sure that nothing escaped the dark hole that had been created. SHIELD even hired some shinigamis for this. Since these creatures were soul type it was better to let the experts handle them. In fact there was now a security detail around the house of Xu Wenwu.
Xu protested against it as he could easily safeguard himself and his family but Coulson was not ready to hear anything about it and forcefully assigned some agents around. Goku was now a Super Saiyan and neither Nick nor Coulson was ready to let anything happen to him. Saiyans might be really powerful but if there was a deadly poison being administered into their body then it would be game over.
Even Goku suffered from a heart problem once and almost died if it was not for Trunks from future coming with the medicine, then Goku would have been in the abode of King Yama much earlier.
Avengers conducted many meetings during this one month and had already started making plans and for this mission that would lead them to the multiverse, the Pokemon were called for the first time. Arceus, Mew, the three spirits of the lake, Dialga, Palkiya and Giratina were called. They didn't call Groudon and Kyogre were not called because these two were unstable and the moment they would be woken up, these two would just fight.
Dialga and Palkiya were known to fight each other but at least at times these two would shimmer down and work together. The Pokemon were called because the Avengers would soon leave for the multiverse and they need a proper protection at home. Normally the Pokemon were left to themselves but this time everyone needed to participate as Earth would be defenseless.
"We will protect the Earth as all the wild pokemons would be sent on high alert but Pokemons could only do so much." Arceus said as he stood at the front of the meeting.
"Shinobis and Shinigamis would be sent to cooperate and they would sent to all the corners of the Earth." Naruto replied to this. Like the Avengers the Kages too would leave and soon their dimensions would be shut. Even Hell would be shut by Yamamoto as nobody was ready to see any more death in their front yards.
And after much discussion and talks everything was planned out. Dialga and Palkiya would remove their differences aside and would protect Earth from any kind of invasion which may happen due to teleportation.
All teleportation facilities would be prohibited on Earth until The Avengers were back safe and sound. SHIELD just put the whole of Earth under red alert and all the agents that had been on vacation were asked to report back. All hands were on deck. Even Coulson who always had a smiling face had a stern look as he went through the reports.
The death of a dimension had hit people hard and gave many people a sense of fear and Coulson hated the fact that there was nobody to help them and the response was too late so now he had decided to build special stations on Hell and the Naruto world so that this situation doesn't repeat itself.
Thus the wait started. The Avengers, X-men from 3 different worlds, Kages, Fairy Tail and the Soul Society were eagerly waiting for the return of the people who had gone in search of the amalgam universe with any information.
But there was none. None returned!!!
After waiting for a month and even a week more there was nobody who returned. Everyone had gloomy faces when they saw none returning. Though the people who went were mostly criminals and it didn't really matter, it still hurt them. Especially for John, his connection with his summons were cut off.
And according to the system it was because the Wall was preventing them from accessing information.
"Are you sure there is no problem with loyalty? The last time I lost loyalty due to the interference of Ultron."
[
Rest assured host. The last time it was because of Cube and they were not the summons. The summons of the host would always be loyal to the host, even if they were brainwashed.
]
"Fine, I will trust you on this."
As John made sure one last before entering the Hall of Justice. This was the meeting where it will be decided to launch a full fledged attack on the other side of the multiverse and the Wall.
The war is on!
