Chapter 150 - Chapter 149: Stark

Flying toward the Indian Ocean, passing over Africa and several of its countries, including Wakanda, which is hiding from the world using some type of advanced holographic technology; though it was useless against my eyes, I simply looked right through it with ease to view the technologically advanced Wakanda. Besides, even if they could shield themselves from my eyes, they couldn't stop the sound of an entire city filled with thousands of people from entering my ears; I've known about Wakanda's existence for quite some time, just never really cared about them, or the Vibranium they have at their disposal.

'A beautiful city; though, it's good they got all that vibranium, if it were any other country, it probably would've been used in war's and what not.' Musde Pharaoh as he flew over the holographic shielding of Wakanda, looking through the whole city before quickly leaving it behind him, passing over other African countries.

Arriving at the Indian Ocean, I flew towards the sound of the terraforming machine, which was next to impossible to miss when it was constantly releasing such a loud sound, not to mention all the black smoke it was releasing into the air. Nearing the machine, same with the other one, when I got close, several metallic tentacle arms emerged from the heart of the machine as they chased after me while I flew around the machine; however, I didn't have any time to waste, so, using my heat vision, I sliced all of the tentacles in half, before dashing downwards right through the smoke, crashing into the machine and emerging from the bottom, where the beam was previously at.

I didn't cut it in half since after just flying over Wakanda; I remembered that I couldn't allow the world to get their hands on Kryptonian technology; it was far too soon for humans to have such advanced technology, and wars would quickly erupt.

So, instead of cutting it in half with my heat vision, I grabbed one of the machine's three legs and tossed it into orbit; I made sure to use a little bit of extra strength just to be sure it didn't come crashing back into earth, I don't need a meteor to destroy all of Australia or something.

Dusting my hands off, I gave the fisherman in the distance a wave before once again dashing through the sky, heading for Kansas this time since I needed to get my space pod before anything. Speedily flying over Africa and the Pacific Ocean once more, I entered the United States, followed by me entering Kansas, and then finally Smallville, where I eventually found Barton overseeing the process of shield hauling my space pod onto a truck.

"W-What are you doing here, Tut? Don't you have other things to worry about? Like those massive terraforming-looking machines?" Questioned Barton with a frown as he glanced and approached Pharaoh, who landed beside the truck from out of nowhere, surprising every shield agent.

"Already did so, and I'm about to try and finish the job, though I need my spaceship to do so." Replied Pharaoh quickly as he used his heat vision to cut off all of the cables holding the spaceport before grabbing it with his hand and lifting it off the flatbed of the truck.

"Why do you need your spaceship?" asked Barton with a deep frown and furrowed brows as he beard Pharaoh, who suddenly turned around before grabbing the back of his collar.

"Long story short, I need my space pod to send the Black Zero along with all of Zod's hundreds of soldiers back into the Phantom dimension. Also, you're coming with me; your assistance might be needed." Stated Pharaoh swiftly as he gave Barton a look before glancing at Romanoff in the distance, only to blast off into the sky while carrying two pieces of luggage.

Quickly arriving in New York, I set Barton down atop a skyscraper along with my space pod as we stared at the massive spaceship floating right above Manhattan.

"Woah, is that the Black Zero?" Asked Barton with slightly wide eyes as he stared at the spaceship, which looked oddly familiar to the two world engines Tut had destroyed.

"Yeah, it's also filled with all of Zod's soldiers, so if we don't do anything soon, we'll have hundreds of people similar to me flying all over the world. The only difference is, they'll be causing destruction, mayhem, and death, something I've been actively trying to avoid Zod and his lackeys from doing." Remarked Pharaoh with an unsightly expression as he looked through the entire Black Zero, eyeing the numerous soldiers, though he only ended up frowning with even more intensity.

'Where is Zod, Nam-Ek, or Faora?' Thought Pharaoh with furrowed brows as he again looked at the ship, yet he still couldn't locate the the trio.

"That sounds beyond terrifying, so you need my assistance? What can I help with?" Asked Barton with an ugly expression before looking at Pharaoh, who was currently trying to locate the trio of kryptonians.

"Two things: I need to know what the Phantom drive, the core that powers both the Spacepod and the Black Zero, looks like; I also like a way to contact Fury." Replied Pharaoh quickly, and just as he finished speaking, the Black Zero released a loud humming noise before firing a large beam toward the earth, causing all of New York to tremble when it touched the ground.

"I don't know about the first one, but here you go, direct access to Fury." Said Barton as he removed an earpiece from his own ear and tossed it to Pharaoh, who easily caught it before glancing at the spaceship.

Putting the ar piece on, I was about to go and stop the Black Zero from terraforming the earth and destroying New York in the process, but before I could move far, Barton grabbed my cape, causing me to groan in annoyance, nonetheless I stopped and turned around.

"You need to know what the core of the Phantom drive looks like? I'm no technician, electrician, or mechanic, but I have an idea who could help us. Drop me off at Starks building." Stated Hawkeye as he held Pharaoh's white cape, gesturing to his space pod before pointing at Stark's building in the distance.

Nodding my head at what he was getting at, I grabbed Barton and my space pod before quickly flying towards Stark's tower, unceremoniously, bursting through the large window, directly into what looked like his home floor, which caused a whole bunch of automated turrets to emerge from the ground, while Tony was actually standing not too far away, eyeing the Black Zero.

"Ay, Stark, not much time to explain; I'm calling in that favor you owe for saving your ass after you fainted in the middle of the desert." Remarked Tut quickly as he glanced at Stark, who gave him a wary and confused look before he shot off through the sky, leaving Barton and Stark alone.

"What the hell is he talking about?" Muttered Stark with a raised eyebrow as he looked at Tut flying towards the Black Zero before glancing at Barton for information, though he simply shook his head.

"No idea, Stark, but we don't really have time for that. I'm Special Agent Barton from Shield. We can get all friendly later, but we need your help finding the Phantom Drive in this space pod." Stated Barton with a shake of his head as he showed Stark his ID before gesturing him to the space pod by his feet.

"Alien technology? This will be interesting." Said Stark with a slight frown as he set his drink on the table before tapping his finger on the corner of the table, causing the numerous automated turrets to return to their compartments.

"What's the point in all this Barton?" Asked Stark as he squatted down beside the spacepod and intently looked at.

"Don't exactly know, but Tut plans to use the Phantom drive inside this Spacepod and the Black Zero to send all of the hundreds of Krptonians back into the Phantom Dimension. If not, we'll have several hundred people with power similar to him running amok all over the world; you're suits are powerful Stark, but it's not stopping him, I'm sure you must've seen the videos about him already." Replied Barton seriously as he gestured towards the Black Zero before eyeing Stark, who nodded and stood up.

"Yeah, Blacksteel; I saw him fighting against two of his own in Kansas; those three were causing a lot of destruction. And as painful as it is to admit, I might as well not wear a suit if I was forced to face them. So let's send those people back into the Phantom Dimension, whatever the hell that is." Declared Stark as he placed his hand on the table's edge, causing it to open up, revealing a large wrack of varying tools.

"Thanks for him putting this in a terrible spot, so we'll have to do this the old-fashioned way; it's bringing back bad memories." Added Stark as he got on his knees, grabbing a handful of varying tools before quickly getting to work, while Barton just watched everything from the side.

"How can I help?" Asked Barton curiously as he squatted down beside Stark, who momentarily stopped working only to hold up a random tool.

"Do you know what this tool is called?" Asked Stark seriously as he looked at Barton, who shook his head, causing him to nod.

"Then you can help by staying out of the way." Said Stark as he focused back on dismantling the space pod while slowly trying to figure out how this thing operated.
