Chapter 89:
Steve " Well since you and Tony are the one who design that, the mechanism should be familiar to you, as long as it is commanded, it will be a big help in the upcoming fight."
Rhody glanced at us and saw me and Lyla standing not far away so he walked to us and asked " Cain.. Lyla I heard you are with Tony when the battle happened at New York?"
I replied " Yeah, the big guy named Cull have been resolved and his body is given to the Sorcerers where they can imprison him in more secure places"
Rhody asked what he is really concerns about " Do you have any idea where Tony and the wizard might go, is there a chance they will come back."
I looked at him and sigh while the others also waited for my reply " Sigh. My guess was that they will choose to bring the fight to Thanos instead."
"It's been more than a couple of hours and they didn't come back, Dr. Strange have a spell to make a portal wherever he is, so there is a chance they will come back if they succeed on rescuing Dr. Strange from Ebony Maw."
Rhody " I heard from Tony that there is really a guy who knows Sorcery but I've never met him. Do you have any information that can help us?"
I shook my head and said " No, I already told all I know but Thanos is very smart so he might predict whatever we going to do. Since our main priority is the infinity stones and that's what he is coming for no matter what and how many he sacrifice."
" He has the stubbornness and obsession to kill half life of population of planets he conquered."
Rhody nodded and ask Captain Steve " Cap, do we have a plan?"
Steve nodded and looked at all of us " We have a place to go and they have the power to defend this world. Suit up and get all your things ready and proceed to Quinjet."
The team moved and take all of their things, Bruce and Rhody readied their Armour. While Sam and Natasha get to Quinjet with Steve while the Maximoff twins with Vision talk to each other about the mind stone if ever Thanos is near.
Nara and Lyla came with me and we prepare to board the Quinjet. The inside is cramped a little because our numbers added a few new passengers.
Vision and I and Rhody chose to fly on our own beside the Quinjet. Lyla is inside to conserve energy and Sam Wilson wings is not for long distances flight but flexibility and speed.
Natasha piloted the Quinjet to Africa and then flew to the forest as Bruce stared wide eye looking at the city or specifically Kingdom of Wakanda.
We're not barging through as we've already been here a few several times while Rhody just followed with us.
The palace is on the middle top of the mountain so we landed there where the royal family of Wakanda waited.
T'chala and Shuri greeted us and nodded to Vision. Steve and Bucky hug each other when they met at last since Bucky had to be Iced to rehabilitate him on the outskirts of the city.
He got new vibranium arm since his last one got blasted to pieces by Iron Man on the last fight.
The dora milaje stood straight beside the royal family and Natasha nodded to them, while they smiled back.
The most unexpected person on this was Erik Killmonger beside the King. T'chala didn't choose to kill him but instead gave him a chance, the only crime he got was being a King at the wrong time.
He defeated T'chala in fair fight and got defeated by T'chala on the last battle, T'chala gave him the Black Panther suit with leopard patterns as he had been obedient since.
Erik have been roaming the whole Africa as Leopard Black Panther, killing criminals and saving people from slavery. He doesn't have the right travel far off and he can't leave the continent until T'chala say so.
His identity is hidden since he live in America as a SEAL so he have records there due to his identity. Right now, he's with the royal family helping them make Wakanda and for African people's betterment.
T'chala listened to his advice and open Wakanda's borders and help the world by exchanging technology and resources as well as battle racism and discrimination against black people and minority from European and American.
Back to the present, as we greet each other, Bruce who's new here awkwardly bowed to T'chala since he heard that they are a royal family.
T'chala scan Bruce and said " We don't do that here."
Bruce confusedly look at others watching him bow as it is his first time coming in contact with Wakanda.
Rhody patted him on the shoulder and we walked towards inside of the palace to talk about plans and strategies to battle Thanos and his army.
The room are decorated grandly with smart technology, advanced hologram that shows the wide field with grass and small stream.
We sat in the chairs provided by servers and discussed about Vision's position.
Vision choose to fight alongside than being cowardly hiding at the back.
It is preferable to have Vision close since they can all protect him in case of ambush. Thanos infinity gauntlet will be the most powerful weapon in the universe according to Bruce's description.
The power stone and space stone already made Thanos a monster only few can defeat. The soul and reality stones are still unfounded while time stone is with Tony and Dr. Strange and mind stone are with us.
He has a fleet of powerful and technological army that has the power to kill all life of this planet if he choose to.
Bruce " Thanos have four generals, only three now since Cain defeated one just recently."
Others looked at me and I shrugged " Don't get complacent, there is a possibility that they have more clones that has similar prowess than that guy."
" And it's not easy to defeat that guy, his powers are even comparable to Hulk but with technique and use a powerful weapon. I had to incinerate him and carbonised his limbs using my full power."
Shuri tap her bracelet and a big projection appears on the centre, the presentation showed my fight with Cull on the street, the brawl didn't take long as I flew with him to a more desolate place.
Shuri looked at me and said " I used our satellite to look at your battle incase you might need some reinforcements."
" You might want to remove the tracker in the future inside of our suit since it might caused inconvenience." I said to her as I guess there must be a tracker inside the battle suit to spy on us whenever she wants.
The others focused on my battle and commented from time to time, some praise me for efficiency and others pointed out my skills and techniques is rough during the fight.
The power of both of us with using only sheer strength can create destruction and pot holes everywhere, dust and stones are blasted, trees and boulders thrown to each other as we progressed in the fight.
Cull have weapons to strike and defend while I only have my suit and Optic blast. My used of optic blast are praised my all since it not only been used as my weapon but also to support whenever necessary like my use of it to push and distract Cull's vision to create an effect to attack his blindside.
This fight also shows Cull's used of his weapon and shield, he reflected most of my optic blast to surroundings and myself and the pickaxe is the main killer.
The way the pickaxe destroy the ground and boulders thrown at him is pulverised. One hit from that pickaxe can kill a normal people with just a single wave.
I even got scratched on the shoulders and many times because of my insufficient defense and one good hit can severely injured me.
Fortunately, the fight did not take too long as Cull got blinded by my Optic Blast at the same time had to defend to a huge boulder coming at him.
The strike came and his knees got destroyed and that's where my advantage started. The fight intensified even more and Cull and I got closer and closer to the ending of the battle which shows in the records where I incinerated both his limbs and pummelled him to near death on the ground before I stop.
The people whose watching my fight clap at my performance as there are some who still look seriously watching and thinking of something.
I know my show of prowess is incredible but most of my fights are hidden or I quickly solve my opponents but this time my full power showed my incredible strength that will top me in humanity but I shake my thoughts there to prevent arrogance corroding my mind and heart.
Bruce commented with wide mouth " you can have the same strength as Thor without his hammer but your use of abilities are more flexible than Thor who have poor control of his lightning."
" Yeah, I will accept that compliment" I replied to Bruce.
Shuri asked her questions " Where did you place the Pickaxe, can I look at it later?"
" It's on Quinjet along with the fragments of broken shield."
Erik just quietly watch my battle thinking that there are more powerful humans on this planet than just a super soldier.
Erik have also heard our reputation as international criminals while being heroes in the dark. Because of Accords force to people with super human abilities to obey their orders or else arrested.
