J'emm J'axx watched as Kara left. He could only watch from the side as he was here without authorization.. He had joined the assault team in disguise. He really wanted to take part in this fight; he should be fighting to free his people.
"We will come back later to get the M'hontrrs," the team leader ordered. "Join back with the other."
J'emm followed the rest out of the prison and joined back with the other team before moving up the stairs, returning to the main corridor. The team leader contacted the other troops and learned that they were at the top.
The troops moved fast and reached the top since there was no danger, as per troop A's exploration. They came face to face with another door. This door had many intricate carvings on it.
"What happened?" the team leader questioned.
"The door is locked," the one leading the rest answered.
"Did you try to go through it?" the team leader of R'o asked.
Instead of answering, the man density-shifted his hand, which would normally allow them to phase through objects. But the minute he touched it, an electric snake jumped from the wall, giving him a shock. The man shook his hand to remove the numbness.
"It seems the Female was right," Team 2's leader answered.
"Who?"
"The female named Kara. She informed us that we couldn't open the control room without the authorization of the highest authority."
"We need to capture him then."
"Did you try in his form?" Team 2's leader asked.
"No, but let's give it a try."
The Martian then morphed into Zion and touched the wall, "Open," he commanded.
["Really?!"]
["Aren't you guys dumb!"]
The door lit up in neon light, and the space was brightened to the limit, stunning everyone. J'emm closed his eyes to avoid the flashbang while using his TK to scan the surroundings. It was then he noticed that he was the only one left. He abruptly opened his eyes in shock to search for others and tried to communicate with them through the link.
But nothing, it was all he got. He looked around and noticed the familiar cubes lying on the floor and blasters protruding from the wall. Another light flashed, and a being constructed itself out of light. He looked like Zion, and he looked straight at J'emm.
["Not the most intelligent move,"] Z.A.I stated, picking up the cube next to him. He looked closely at it, twisting and turning it, observing carefully.
["We have much to discuss, Prince J'emm J'axx."]
He turned to the G'arrunn wearing armor, its eyes opening wide. J'emm didn't know how his disguise was seen through. He perfectly blended in with the other Martians.
["You're still green, aren't you?"]
["The General and the Commander knew it was you the minute you walked in."]
["How I knew you were J'emm? That's a secret."] He answered J'emm thoughts.
["Now, come in."]
["We have much to discuss."]
"Why should I follow you? You already betrayed us," J'emm shouted, his blasters pointing at Z.A.I.
["Dude"]
*buzzzz*
All the blasters on the wall locked onto J'emm. The slight buzz they gave off showed that they would fire at him, at a thought of pulling the trigger.
["J'emm, I am trying to be civil."]
"What do you want?" J'emm questioned, his blasters still pointing.
Z.A.I was baffled, but he also understood. J'emm was just a teenager, and he also had the impulsivity disorder of all teenagers.
["If you listen, war will end."]
"Why should I trust you?" J'emm questioned.
["Listen here, kid."]
["I have a civilization of Mechmorphs, and I outnumber and outgun you in every way."]
["I could enslave your whole species in a day."]
["So stop wasting my time."]
Z.A.I was done dealing with idiots.
["Now, you follow me."]
Z.A.I waved his hand, and the door to the control room opened. Z.A.I walked in leisurely, not caring about the blaster pointed at his back. J'emm followed with guarded steps, ready to density shift to phase through the energy blaster and take control of the room.
["Don't try,"] Z.A.I stated.
He then waved his hand and pulled up the image of M'arzz in its entirety. The projection showed the location of the capital city, Ma'aleca'andra, and the remaining city. These cities were marked in green, covering less than 15% of the planet. The rest was lit up in gold, the territory of Mechmorphs.
["I have control of the whole planet."]
["If I wanted, I could make your species go extinct."]
["I hope you don't want that."]
J'emm watched the map in trepidation. This was the first time he saw the extent of Zion's reach on M'arzz. He could tell that they were fighting a losing battle, but he never believed that they were facing an insurmountable wall.
"What do you want?" J'emm asked, learning he had no way out of this.
["I want you to become King, J'emm J'axx."]
"So, you could control me?" J'emm scoffed.
["You are of no consequence, if I wanted control that is."]
["You already know that."]
Z.A.I flashed the image of M'arzz before J'emm.
"Then why?" J'emm asked.
["You are a good kid, J'emm J'axx."]
["You look toward the future and not the past."]
["You have the character to become King."]
["But you are still young."]
["So, I want you to be my proxy."]
"Proxy?" J'emm didn't understand.
["Yes."]
["You will be working for me as you take on responsibilities."]
["You will lead your people out of oppression and bring them here."]
["A land flowing with milk and honey."]
["You will be the King of this new land."]
"Why me?" J'emm asked.
["You know your father will never allow your marriage with S'yraa."]
["And the oppressed A'shenn will rebel sooner or later."]
["But you could change that if you become king."]
["So what do you say?"]
"You will not control my people?" J'emm asked.
["Nope."]
"Will they live freely?"
["Yes."]
["I will also allow you guys to use some of my tech."]
["I have taken over Earth."]
["Soon, you guys could even travel there."]
J'emm thought for a moment, and arrived at his answer. He wanted for his people to be at peace, instead of die fighting.
"Okay," J'emm agreed. "As long as you don't go back on your word."
["That took a lot of convincing."]
"What do I do now?" J'emm asked. "Should I just go ask my people to come? That wouldn't work at all."
["I know."]
["But I've got just the plan."]
...
Zion, after searching for a few minutes, found Superman about five miles away. He then dragged him back to where the others were and piled them up together. They were all lying on the ground. Now that he had knocked out most of the trouble, he had to deal with the last one.
NoiZ turned to the sky.
"Good to see you, Kara," he stated.
Kara looked at the pile of heroes and then to Zion. She knew she couldn't defeat Zion in a battle of strength. He was intelligent enough to counter all her moves, and with this new form with which he defeated Superman, she had no chance.
And she recognized it.
"Why are you doing this, Zion?" she asked.
NoiZ nodded with a bit of pride, "Finally not choosing the punching option. You have grown well."
"Answer me, Zion! Why are you doing this?" she asked again.
"For peace," NoiZ answered.
"For peace? You call this bringing peace."
"It was necessary. Those who don't know chaos will not appreciate peace."
"So you brought war to a civilization, to people who were just minding their business."
"They were not at peace, Kara. They were living in an illusion of it. True peace is only achieved when no one is oppressed. A'ashenn were condemned here, they were not treated right. They would have rebelled, and the straws they grasp in their desperation will not only bring an end to them but also to Earth."
*beep beep*
The omnitrix on Noiz's shoulder beeped. He was going to time out.
"You could have chosen to explain," Kara stated, not moving.
"No one would have believed."
"We would have, Kal-El would have."
NoiZ de-transformed, returning to Zion with his suit.
"He would have stopped me," Zion replied.
"Because you were wrong." Kara decided not to attack.
"Am I, Kara? You understand it more than Kal-El. You have seen the worst of humanity. The humans are stuck in their ways."
"But they can be better, you have seen better."
"Yes, I have seen both of it. I know people can be good. That's why change needs to be brought, and I will make the world better, stronger, and more prepared."
"You don't need to do this, Zion."
"I have to, it is my mission after all." Zion smiled. "The world will be better when you wake up."
"Zion-"
Kara couldn't finish her sentence as she froze in the air. Zion pulled out the device he was hiding. {I will add the image later} This was the device he had asked Z.A.I to make. This was a device made with chronosapien Bio-Matrix data. It functioned similarly to a watch and showed time. It showed the exact time of the universe and space-time coordinates, but that wasn't all its functions. It could control time for a short period, like moving forward or backward, slow or speeding up, and freezing time.
It's called a Quantum Tempus. [Yes, I did add Quantum to make it cool] Now, Kara was frozen in a temporal bubble. She would be like this for a day or so, but it was more than enough for his plans. Now to deal with the heroes, he needed them. The humans needed their saviors.
"Z.A.I, is everything ready?" Zion asked.
["Yup."]
"Time to leave, then," Zion spoke, and the ground rippled as many Mechmorphs rose from the ground.
They were in millions, and each was armed with a dehydration gun. They were his army; they would help him win the war without much trouble. The forces of the dark god would have to meet their defeat today at his hands.
Today, he would conquer Earth.
Today, he would kill a god.
Today, he would bring change.
"Let's Rock!!!" Zion shouted as his helmet formed around his head, and the space glitched around the field. The millions of Mechmorphs were teleported out of Mars. Their course was set towards Earth. Zion's suit created a force-field enough to combat the vacuum of space and provide him with life support.
The millions of Mechmorphs traveled through space like streaking comets with tails on their backs.
And the show had just begun.
