Chapter 37 - Chapter 37

"She must be an enhanced" Nebula motioned to her flying while the man used a jetpack. They had read about enhanced individuals that were found in their universes earth and were still in the process of building prison cells that would contain all of them by suppressing their abilities.

"Both Definitely underwent extensive training" Gamora added watching them move swiftly each with their own weapon. The lady used some kind of sword capable of cutting through their trap doors like hot knife cutting butter. The man used an assortment of canons and grenades whenever necessary other wise he preferred killing using hand to hand combat.

The woman found the control room, killed everyone but two operators and started dismantling everything. The man soon joined her, restrained the two captives and proceeded to carry them out while the woman started typing in one of the computers.

"She's trying to access our database." Nebula told Gamora when she glanced at her and to reassure Gamora she added "she won't be able to access it before the vessel self destructs."

"It only does that when the vessels integrity has dropped below 80%" Gamora pointed out.

"No matter, she won't have the time to do it." Nebula declared watching the screen with renewed interest.

Proxima midnight and cull obsidian had teleported into the control room and we're currently engaged in a fierce battle with the woman and man.

"She will make a good addition to fathers loyal followers" Nebula declared watching how effortlessly both women handles their sword while the men had stumbled out of view clearly fighting as the control room would occasionally shake.

"Let's finish this" Gamora ordered with the second vessel dropping at an alarming rate to replenish the chitauri numbers on the battle field while the woman was currently battling both Proxima midnight and cull obsidian plus the occasional chitauri that would find itself in the middle of the battle. She really knew how to handle her self. Proxima midnight and cull obsidian were clearly struggling fighting with her. In the next room the general was passed out after obsidian knocked him out.

We cannot disappoint father It was time the children of Thanos join the fight.

Apokolips

Steppenwolf, Kalibak, Ganny goodness and the furies eyes were all glued to the various screens projected in Darkseids throne room displaying the invasion taking place in Almerac.

Darkseid sitting on his throne, silently. Watching everything. Interesting.

OA

Four guardians were interfacing with their computers while the rest typed furiously into the holograms displaying various information and code.

"It has began" one meditating guardian spoke up. All the green lines of code and the green glow of the room turned red with various lines of code overlapping each other, both green and red fighting for dominance.

"How much longer!?" One guardian asked as his alien hands practically gestured at every hologram interfacing with them.

"It won't be long now" the other meditating guardian replied.

For the past few minutes they have been hacking the Omnitrix to install a tracer program to always know it's whereabouts and activities. While it was a good idea to track a device as powerful as the Omnitrix, this came with a price by giving its wielder an opportunity or window to return the favor so they needed to work fast.

The Omnitrix was already hacking through their firewall disabling them quite efficiently.

"Redirect him to what he is looking for." One guardian spoke up referring to them searching for any type of information about multiverse and time travel. They redirected Trixx attack on their firewall to a specific database containing time travel information. This was the only way to make sure she did not gain access to any other information by hacking through all of their firewalls, something they suspected was possible with the omnitrix. They were taking too long to plant a tracer program in the Omnitrix system.

"Done" one guardian announced. They had successfully planted their Trojan in the Omnitrix making sure that Ben would not discover and get rid of it.

"He is still accessing our files" Trixx had found the intended information but was still digging deeper into their system.

"Cut him off"

Blaze was currently floating towards Hal after retrieving the data he was looking for. Trixx had used brute force and managed to hack into their system without the use of the backdoor earlier installed by her.

The guardians have rebooted their system cutting me out Trixx informed Blaze telepathically.

"Were you able to retrieve any information?" Blaze asked her studying the data she displayed in his HUD eyes.

I have extracted and currently sorting out some amount of data relating to time travel found in parts of their database I managed to infiltrate. The guardians have also attached a Trojan horse to one of my firewalls which intends to monitor any transformation occurring.

"Good. Can you disable it?"

Yes I can but in doing so they will be notified.

"Who cares!? Get rid of it. And why did you allow them to place a tracker in your system?" From Blazes knowledge of Trixx, she was extremely advanced and could have easily thwarted their attempts at hacking her.. or so he thought.

The guardians placing that Trojan makes it possible for me to study and adapt their code more efficiently since this is by far the most sophisticated code I have come across in this universe. I can detect fail safes added to it.

Trixx had isolated the guardians code and was currently developing an algorithm based on it that could she could reverse engineer so that they wouldn't have to constantly hack OA to get information. According to the ETA given by her, it was still unknown when the algorithm would be complete and functioning.

"Okay. Thank you Trixx" Blaze came to float beside Hal who was busy gloating at a few gathered lanterns on how he got to go into the main Hall. Word had spread that Hal, an unknown person and apokolip's weapon of destruction were in OA meeting with the guardians in their main hub and most of the lanterns became certainly curious.

They knew Hal couldn't have taken down the weapon by himself since it had previously killed some lanterns when they responded to distress calls in the planets it invaded.

All the attention diverted from Hal to Blaze as soon as he joined them.

"You going to introduce me?" He had head Hal loved and craved attention from the whispers in the watchtower. Other lanterns were now staring at the watch on his wrist, no doubt none having seen a watch with that design and source of power emanating from it in the universe.

"Oh, yeah. Guys this is Ben" Hal shrugged waving off Blaze.

"Blaze" he spoke up correcting Hal. "My name as per now" he added upon seeing the confused looks on their faces.

"Yeah yeah…we got to go." Hal said hurriedly flying away knowing Blaze was following him. Killowog was just about to join their small gathering and Hal couldn't have him asking questions right now.

"So, what were you doing back there?"

"Trixx was sorting out some issues with the watch, we're good now" Blaze informed him just as they broke the sound barrier flying towards earth. "Okay"

Blaze was really beginning to appreciate space travel without being enclosed in a space craft but just flying. All the planets, meteors and asteroids they flew past made up for a very beautiful scenery. As he was thinking about these, videos of a nation at war popped up in his HUD showing soldiers and some form of creatures at war.

What's happening? Which planet is that? Blaze asked Trixx coming to a stop and floating. Hal noticing this, slowed down and flew back to where Blaze had halted.

"What's wrong?" He asked. They had quite a distance to fly in order to reach earth and constant stops would just delay their arrival time. He had to go and tell Bary, his best friend, about his latest achievement. Only two lanterns had ever had the opportunity to be invited into the guardians main hall.

"Some planet is under attack." Blaze answered gesturing to the hologram Trixx was able to project from the watch showing the invasion. " Trixx picked up an emergency frequency broadcasting the invasion. It showed one vessel was already damaged and up in smoke while the other had just touched down releasing a new wave of those creatures in the thousands.

"That's Almerac!" Hal gasped. "But who are those?" He had never seen that type of creature before and he has been to almost all planets. Blaze looked up at him expectantly. Trixx was already compiling every information she had on Almerac and displaying it to Blazes HUD.

"The creatures are invading Almerac meaning they are either well prepared or just plain stupid" Hal stated. Almeracs army was well trained, advanced and had superhuman strength and qualities depending on the individual almeracian gene pool.

"Let's go and help them" blaze started flying off in their direction.

"Wait! Their queen does not tolerate off-world interference!" Hal shouted at Blaze but following him nonetheless.

"Then it's a good thing I am not from this or any other world in this universe and I cannot sit by while civilians are being harmed" Blaze increased his speed. Destination…Almerac.

"Shit!" Hal groaned already regretting this decision to get involved in Queen Maximas affairs. Their last encounter did not end well so to say.
