Earth. Department of Planetary Defense Forces.
"Scott. How's the heavy frigate assembly going?" asked Hank Pym in a calm tone. But the other man in the room was not as calm as he.
"DAMN. One of these. And Ryan Knight could conquer the whole Earth!" muttered Scott Lang in an excited tone. He wore the ant controller on his left ear, and countless ants assembled the mini spaceship for him.
Hank Pym smacked Scott on the back of the head with a rolled-up newspaper. "He created it to protect. Not to conquer i. Stop talking nonsense and get back to work. The defense line needs this now!"
The Space Marines heavy frigate was moved up in production a week ago, but it's still not ready. There are four heavy frigates in production, but right now Ryan needs the Paris-class, a UNSC frigate. He bought the blueprints from Halo World, along with the method to find and handle deuterium - a stable isotope of hydrogen.
Currently in production, the Paris ship has a magnetic accelerator gun and is equipped with an arsenal of nuclear weapons.
When it reaches its original size, the frigate ship will be 535 meters long, 199 meters wide and 112.3 meters high - taller than some buildings. For this reason, only the ants have been working on the development of the ship, so that Ryan does not alarm the whole world with his announcement.
"Three of them are done," Scott said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Good, send them all. The Templars have been preparing for this for some time and are restless."
"Roger that." said Scott, pressing the signal for the Templars. The ships would be augmented in a deserted area and would go into battle as soon as they were born.
Watching the Templars enter the huge ship with grim expressions on their faces, Scott had to chuckle. "Does that make them ... Space Knights?" he asked with a grin.
* SMACK * Hank Pym slapped the back of Scott's head again. He then looked up at the sky, desperately wishing for his godson's safety.
A jump point away from Earth's solar system.
"Urmm. Guys. Please do not get too excited. Skrull reinforcements will be here soon." said Ryan ambiguously in the command center.
His scanner picked up several warships coming in the direction of the battle. Some of them were not even of the Skrull species.
"Apparently the Mandalorian bounty the Collector was offering was too tempting for some people. Well. If they are suicidal, I'll help them to the other side," Ryan said, grinning. Two floating spheres were generated by his nanosuit, and he placed his palm on both.
One of the spheres glowed red, the other blue. As soon as the sphere was activated, several rings emerged from the sphere and flew behind Ryan.
[Song of Fire and Ice] Ryan murmured slowly.
Through the rings, several ice spear and fireball projectiles shot toward the Skrull hunting ship. The 1-kilometer radius around Ryan was immediately cleared, and he flew to the Skrull mother ship to deal with an emergency,
The Organization's fighters SWORD eventually arrived and saw the sight of Ryan decimating the fighter ships around him. The agents of the organization swallowed their saliva when they saw Ryan's imperious aura on the battlefield.
Hela joined the SWORD agents' communications line and scolded them. "Too late! The left flank needs reinforcements! NOW!"
They couldn't even disagree with the order and immediately joined the formation.
Inside the Skrulls mothership.
The girl in the yukata, Park Shin, hurried to storm the mother ship. First, she felt the need to end the battle early so as not to increase the Earth faction's losses. Secondly.
"STOP KILLING THE ONES I WANT TO KILL!" Park Shin yelled at her elder Valkyrie member who'd taken her opponent away. The elder widow grinned and stuck her tongue out at Park Shin cutely before she went in search of another victim.
"Damn it. Every single one of them. F*cki*g Sl*t." muttered Park Shin quietly to herself before running in a different direction than the rest of the team.
Dawn shook her head and let the girl do what she wanted to do. Despite Park Shin's extraordinary skills, she lacked the experience that the older widows had. The fight will help her to overcome this shortcoming.
After two minutes of walking, Park Shin saw the human prisoners who were walking toward the hangar hall. They were led by a member of the army and a crippled SHIELD agent who'd been captured years ago.
Her enhanced vision captured the traces of the torture and experimentation the Skrulls had done to the prisoners in the split second they came into her field of vision.
"Where are you going?" asked Park Shin.
The group's temporary leader, a blond man with a dragon tattoo on his chest, startled when he saw them. He was wearing a martial artist outfit, and his face was covered by a yellow mask.
The group becomes alert and suspicious of her presence. 'A human on a Skrull's mother ship?" thought the crippled SHIELD agent.
Park Shin was silent for a while, waiting for the answer, but it didn't come. She noticed that the group secretly moved their hands to attack her with their plasma cannon instead. She shook her head after realizing the situation.
"Don't worry about it. I'm not a Skrull. I can't say the same about him, though." Park Shin said, pointing at the blond man with the dragon tattoo on his chest.
"Also, the hangar is on the other side of the compound. If you continue in that direction, you'll come across the soldiers' barracks... not that any of them are still alive..."
"Don't spit out lies SKRULL. ATTACK!" roared the Iron Fist impostor. But Park Shin threw a small grenade on the ground.
BOOM
A purple shockwave exploded from the shell, and the energy spread to the prisoners there. Then the people's eyes widened as they saw that their leader had turned into a Skrull! So had 20 of the prisoners there among them!
'How is this possible?' Daniel Sousa Jr, the son of Daniel Sousa, a member of the SSR, quickly distanced himself from the Skrulls as they gathered. Chaos broke out and the human prisoners quickly fought with the Skrulls among them.
Veranke suspicion was on Nick Fury level that she had placed several Skrull among the prisoner incase a prison break happened.
"!! You! How did you find out?" said the Iron Fist SuperSkrull as he touched the walls of the mother ship. His body absorbed the properties of the metal he touched, turning its composition into solid titanium.
"Well... I'd love to take credit, but even I do not know..." said Park Shin, grinning. Ryan's enhanced detector could target the Super Skrull through the help of magic, something that he couldn't give the human soldier to use. She unsheathed her sword and pointed it at the Iron Fist Skrull.
"Enough talk. You. Led the prisoner in the same direction. The Deer God's ship is there. It will take you back to Earth. In this battle, the humans and the pirates are temporary allies," Park Shin said to Daniel Sousa Jr.
"Pirates? I have so many questions. Can I talk to you later?" said Daniel in a calm voice. His politeness and handsome face caused Park Shin to look at him a second time.
"Ho~ A date? Sure!" replied Park Shin playfully.
Daniel smiled gently and obeyed her orders. Then he led hundreds of human prisoners into the soldier barracks where the Arcadia Anchor was located.
"Do not even think about it. You are the property of Queen Veranke. You should be grateful to her for letting you live!" said Iron Fist Skrull, trying to attack Daniel.
Park Shin intercepted his fist before he could cut Daniel's head off. 'Hard!" Park Shin gritted her teeth and used all her strength to stop the Skrull. She then delivered a kick to the Skrull's knees that brought him to his knees. She drew her sword forward to cut off its head.
CLANG
The sword impacted the metal skin of the Skrull, creating sparks of fire. The Skrull opened its mouth and let out a supersonic scream.
"AAAAAaaaa"
Park Shin was struck by the blunt force of the scream and flung forward. She flew farther than the human prisoners and crashed into the wall of the spaceship.
Daniel's eyes snapped open and he looked at her with concern. Nevertheless, he still tried to get the others to safety.
"Good, I'd be offended if you tried to help me. One extra point before our date." Park Shin stood up from the rubble and wiped off the dust.
Her ears were bloody, and part of her yukata was torn. Still, she had a bloodthirsty smile on her face when she caught sight of the Super Skrull.
"This is going to be fun." muttered Park Shin viciously. Her figure disappeared from its previous place and immediately reappeared in front of the Super Skrull. He widened his eyes, but before he could dodge, she kicked him in the face.
BOOM
The super-skrull was the one who flew this time and crashed into the wall. He'd no injuries because his body still bore the titanium metal composition, but he knew not to underestimate his opponent now.
He rose from the rubble and activated his glowing fist with the chi he'd copied from the original Iron Fist.
"Ohh. I did too." said Park Shin as she sensed the energy her opponent was using. She then activated her chi and amplified the power of her whole body.
All the while, she only used the original power of her body without amplifying anything. She took a fighting stance and waited for an opportunity.
"No. It can't be!" muttered the Super Skrull in panic when he saw her posture. He'd seen this posture before, in a prison on Earth that he and Veranka had broken into. Without knowing it, Kai's dominant aura had caused trauma to the Skrull in front of Park Shin.
His hand trembled. He shook his nerves, assumed a fighting stance, and faced Park Shin. However, fear kept circling his mind, making him prone to mistakes.
...
In the command center, Kai faced 3 Super Skrulls whose abilities were shocking to him.
'Wolverine. Cyclop. Colossus. Negasonic Teenage...What's her name again?'
He leapt into the air as the Cyclop Skrull shot an optical beam at him. Julz, the Skrull commander with the skills of the Fantastic Four, stretched his upper body and hit Kai from above.
He blocked with the replica DarkSaber and was knocked to the ground by the force.
"Do you want me to use the Force now? But the Mandalorian couldn't use it...Hmmm..." muttered Kai to himself as he lay on the crater he'd fallen into for a few seconds.
A huge flaming fist with a rocky skin came at him from above, and he rolled to the side to avoid it. At the same time, the Wolverine Skrull attacked him and tried to pierce him with its metal claw.
He didn't have adamantium bones like the real Wolverine, but the Colossus ability he'd stolen could increase the strength of his bone claw.
The claw left a white mark on Kai's armor, but couldn't penetrate it. Kai kicked the animalistic Skrull away and dodged another optical blast by jumping and spinning in the air.
"Why didn't you fight back, Mandalorian? Did the Skrull Empire scare you that much?" said Julz with an evil grin on his face. He controlled the force field and tried to bring Kai to his knees. However, Kai was able to dodge before the force field hit him.
"Nah. I don't know how to get the information into your head without completely destroying you. So I'll wait." said Kai ambiguously.
"!!" Julz was startled. He immediately checked his mind and found that someone had breached his defenses by mimicking the same type of energy he was using. "Impossible!" muttered Julz, lunging at Kai with his upper body while his legs remained in the same place.
Ryan telepathically made contact with Kai. "I'm done. You can kill him now." He'd penetrated the mothership and extracted all the information he needed from the Skrull commander. He hid himself using invisibility and was in the same room as Kai moments before. Now he'd teleported to another location that required his attention.
Kai held his DarkSaber in his right hand, and his left palm rested on the back of the sword. He angled his knee slightly and aimed at the troublesome Cyclop Skrull. "Time's up."
He released the pressure from his leg and almost instantly appeared in front of the Cyclop Skrull. The alien tried to use Negasonic Teenage Warhead's power to repel the attack, but Kai was already finished.
Kai stopped behind the alien and left his position. The alien was confused when he saw his action. Kai turned to the side and walked towards the Wolverine Skrull, which earned him confused looks from the aliens around him.
Julz's eyes snapped open when he saw what Kai had done. The Cyclop Skrull was about to remove his visor and attack Kai again, but then his vision changed. Instead of standing upright, he looked like he had fallen to the ground and rolled over a few times. Then he saw the sight of his body, still standing, but without his head.
[Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri] Kai muttered quietly to himself. 'Damn. I am influenced by Dawn's One Piece game, huh.' He wanted to sheath his sword to imitate Brook, but the DarkSaber had no sheath.
Slowly, the Skrull's limbs fall away. Its torso slides off the rest of its body as a broken Lego. The Cyclop Skrull was now dead, cut to pieces in the split second it crossed paths with Kai.
"One down," Kai muttered.
The Wolverine Skrull was startled as Kai walked toward him. However, his body was stronger than the Cyclop Skrull's and was made of metallic properties.
"I am going to kill you, bub." the Skrull said, lunging at Kai.
"Please. Do not destroy my image of the wolf." muttered Kai. Then he closed his eyes and felt the "breath" of the metal composition in the Skrull's body.
'I hope Park Shin remembered what I taught her about that.' he thought secretly.
"You can not cut me!" Said the Wolverine Skrull a meter away from Kai.
"When one wants to cut something, their sword will even cut the thickest of steel. But when they do not want to cut something, their sword will not cut even the thinnest of paper." Kai covered his sword with his will. His ... Haki and slashed at the Wolverine skrull from his head to his crotch.
Like a hot knife on butter, the sword went through the Skrull's body without any resistance.
In another part of the ship, Park Shin was in a difficult fight.
"Damn. My sword qi failed." she muttered, leaping backward to avoid her opponent's glowing blow.
"What am I missing here?" she muttered to herself as she landed on the ground and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
The Skrull did not let her think and screamed at her. Immediately, she thrust her sword into the air and formed an air strike that split the supersonic wave in two and knocked the Skrull back a few steps.
During his confusion, Park Shin took a deep breath and strained to see what she had missed.
'Breath? What is that again?' She dodged the blow and struck at the Skrull with a sword coated with Qi. She was only a beginner in the field of sword qi. In a few years, this kind of opponent would no longer be a problem for her, but she needed to develop... Right now.
She was distracted for a moment, and the Skrull managed to hit her with a supersonic scream.
"ARGH." Park Shin covered her ears in pain. She temporarily lost her hearing, and the only sound she heard was a high-pitched buzzing. The Skrull took the opportunity to strike her abdomen with a fist covered in chi.
Blood spurted from her mouth, and she was thrown 100 feet away. The Super Skrull panted heavily and turned its back on her. "That's a good fight." Said the Super Skrull softly.
Then his eyes widened as he realized his opponent had gotten back up.
"Haa...I made a mistake." muttered Park Shin. Her legs were swaying, and she could barely stand up with her sword for support.
Breath. Every living thing has its own breath. Its own... Rhythm.' she thought, panting heavily. The figure of the skrull entered her blurry field of vision.
" I can hear it. Your steel." said Park Shin.
"You can barely defend against me when you are at your best. How can you defend yourself with only one sword?" Asked the Super Skrull.
"I am not going to ... Defend myself." said Park Shin with a smile.
"Then prepare to die." said the Skrull, gathering all his Chi on his hand, making it glow brighter than usual. He lunged at Park Shin, intending to deliver the killing blow.
Park Shin sheathed her sword and placed it at her left side.
[She muttered, "A sword style... Lion Strike.
CLASH
Both of them crossed paths with extreme speed and only stopped with their backs to each other 20 meters away. After they struck their blow, both were motionless.
Park Shin was the first to move. She staggered a few steps and almost fell down. The Iron Fist Super Skrull turned to her and muttered, "It's a good fight. Thank you."
Having absorbed Iron Fist's memories and abilities, he had maintained his respect for martial arts and dueling. After that, the Super Skrull closed his eyes.
SPLURT
A deep wound gaped on his titanium body and blood spurted from it. Then the Super Skrull fell to the ground and lost the sparkle in its eyes.
"Yeah, that's a good fight." said Park Shin, sheathing her sword again. Then she walked toward the anchor line and retreated early because of her severe injuries.
On the other side of the ship. Kai smirked as he noticed the changes in his student.
"Now I must finish my fight."
The Skrull commander had lost an arm and half his face to Kai's blade. Since he did not hold back, the fight became easy.
"The Skrull army will not stop until they kill you," Julz said, trying to get Kai to negotiate. But Kai turned a deaf ear to his words.
"One shot. Give me your best in this one shot. Otherwise, you'll die." He said with a grin under his mask.
"ARGHH!!!" The Skrull commander released his stolen power, and its flame reached nearly 3000 degrees Celsius, melting various devices in the command center. A force field was conjured and enveloped Kai and Julz in it.
Julz wanted to burn Kai and him at the same time by exploding in a supernova.
"Good, good job. I think?" said Kai mockingly. He then summoned his first Myth rank companion animal, the recently evolved Gate of Hell.
On its head appeared a crown embedded with red diamonds. On its back appeared a red cape, fluttering violently from the flames created by the Super Skrull.
(Mythical companion beast form: Lord of Fire).
The cosmic flames that the Super Skrull had ignited were swallowed by the crown, and the heat in the room decreased.
"What..." Julz's eyes snapped open in shock. "You are from HELL!" He shouted.
Kai held the DarkSaber in his arm and disappeared from his place. Then Julz's head was seen rolling on the ground.
"I am not. But ... I guess I am a pseudo-demon lord in this form?" muttered Kai and slowly walked back to Arcadia.
Only Ryan and Dawn were still on the mothership. Fury and Brand were there as well, doing their own mission.
Abigail Brand and her elite team of prisoners approached the Queen's quarters. But when she opened it, it was filled with... Iron Man suit.
