With Stark and Barton working on my space pod, I flew toward the Black Zero, which the beam was beginning to destroy small buildings, though thankfully, this wasn't a movie, and the people below were smart enough to move away when they noticed a spaceship hovering right above Manhattan. With the Black Zero terraforming the Earth, it was distorting gravity, causing various objects to orbit itself, and as I got closer to the spaceship, I began to be affected as well, though it was easy to resist.
Just as I was about to crash through the heart of the Black Zero, I heard a grunt from a familiar voice; quickly glancing to my left, I spotted Zod leaping off a building, damaging it in the process, and heading right for me. Seeing Zod flared my anger as I immediately blasted him with my heat vision, sending him crashing back into the same building he leaped out of, though just as quickly as he disappeared into the building, he reappeared, jumping right for me.
"Tch, fine, I need to get you near the Black Zero anyways." Muttered Pharaoh with a frown as he dashed toward Zod, the two colliding mid-air, causing hundreds of windows to shatter from the shockwave their impact made.
Flying towards the ground, I crashed him into the middle of the street while holding him down by the collar of his armor as I glared into his eyes, noticing he wasn't wearing a helmet.
"Heh, it seems someone got used to all those powers; they're not going to help you, though, Zod; you're far too weak to threaten me." Said Pharaoh in a mocking tone as he eyed Zod before reeling his fist back preparing to punch him.
"That only depends on where we're fighting." Replied Zod, and almost immediately after, off in the distance, an explosion was heard while a car was seen flying through the air.
Glancing to my right, I looked through all of the fleeing citizens, only to see Faora and Nam-Ek causing destruction and death, prompting me to grit my teeth in anger.
'Fucking bastards!' Thought Pharaoh angrily as he ignored Zod before quickly flying through the fleeing crowd, only to appear standing before a family of four, who were about to be crushed to death by a car thrown at them.
Dropping the car down, I glared at Faora and Nam-Ek, only to realize they, too, were no longer wearing any masks; Faora looked decently beautiful while Nam-Ek's face was scarred everywhere, though I could care less about their physical appearance, not to mention I've been known what they look like.
"We're not stupid brutes, Zara-Al; we're Kryptonian warriors who learn, adapt, and conquer. That is who we are, Zara-Al." Declared Zod, landing on the ground from a leap, only to start removing his armor as he stood there wearing nothing but a black suit, which was somewhat similar to Pharaoh's, except it had a different symbol.
Following his stupid speech and the removal of his armor, Zod suddenly floated several meters into the air, causing me to curse inwardly; he hadn't even been exposed to the sun for a full day, and he was already able to fly, the only saving grace of this situation was that neither Faora nor Nam-Ek could do it, at least not yet.
"I don't give a fuck who you and your Kryptonian pals are; y'all are fucking around with my planet, and I'm not about to let this shit continue." Declared Pharaoh solemnly with an irritated expression as he prepared to fly toward the three through before he could; Zod's eyes opened, only for him to emit a concentrated blast of plasma from them.
Quickly raising my arms, I blocked Zod's heat vision, though I was in for a rude awakening since following that, both Faora and Nam-Ek's eyes took on a faint red glow before they, too, blasted me with their heat vision.
"M-Mind moving, please!?" Exclaimed Pharaoh as he glanced behind him at the cowering family of four while blocking the three's heat vision from melting them into a pile of ash.
Once the four finally started to run away, I was slightly worried they would get attacked, but no, the three cared little about them, which made me inwardly sigh in relief.
'Haa, at least they're not targeting the civilians; they're only making me fight in populated areas, so I can't really fight back. Brilliant plan, except for the part where they won't ever manage to harm me.' Thought Pharoh with an annoyed expression as he allowed the force from the three's heat vision to push him back, crashing him into the building behind him, which was thankfully already empty.
Emerging from the other side of the building, Zod came flying through while Faora and Nam-Ek were right behind him, leaping towards me. Dodging Zod, I grabbed his leg, using him to hit Faora and Nam-Ek back into the building while I tossed him towards the Black Zero before chasing after him.
However, I couldn't make it far before I heard the sound of Faora and Nam-Ek attacking the fleeing civilians again, which forced me to ignore Zod as I flew back toward his two lackeys, covering Nam-Ek's eyes with my hand from behind; I stopped him from disintegrating a group of people with his heat vision, before chucking him at Faora who was about to do the same. Just as I turned around, Zod slammed into me, grabbing me by my collar as he flew me through the crowd, trying to use my body as a battering ram while he punched me, though I was able to maneuver just good enough to dodge everyone before grabbing Zod's face, squeezing his head.
Using Zod's head, I flipped our positions before slamming him into the ground, dragging him through the street by the face and tossing him away from the civilians; just when I was about to go after him, I was suddenly punched from behind. Turning around, I reached my hand forth and grabbed Faora's fist, though I couldn't help but sport an ugly expression since she was also flying; pulling her forward, I head-butted her before throwing her at the approaching Zod, flinging them both away from the crowd, though, like the pathetic lot they were, Nam-Ek took on the role of attacking the civilians, forcing my hand to ignore the other two and focus on him.
"T-Tut, can you hear me?" Said Fury, his voice emerging resounding from the earpiece on Pharaoh's head, though there was some static.
"Yeah, I can hear everything on Earth, remember? How long would it take for the civilians to evacuate from New York?" Asked Pharaoh as he lunged towards Nam-Ek, grabbing his arm and stopping him from attacking a disabled person before slamming him on the ground.
"Too long. Your fight is being broadcast from a news chopper; I can see everything." Said Fury with a slight frown, watching Pharaoh fight against Zod, Faora, and Nam-Ek while also protecting the civilians to the best of his ability.
Getting punched and flung away, I looked up at the sky, noticing a News Seven helicopter flying in the air, and along with that, I spotted several fighter jets launching missiles at the Black Zero, though the distorted gravity field made it impossible for them to get anywhere near the Black Zero.
"Anyways, I heard everything from Barton; will your plan work?" Asked Fury while sitting in his office, watching on his computer as he saw Pharaoh receive a combo attack from all three.
"Tch, fuckers. Yeah, it should work; the only problem is, I don't know what the phantom drive looks like; even after looking through the space pod and Black Zero, there are so many intricate and highly advanced components I've got no idea what I'm actually looking for. I may be Kryptonian, but my knowledge of their technology is only slightly better than yours." Remarked Pharaoh with a click of his tongue as he removed himself from the small crater in the ground before punching Zod, slamming Faora, and blasting Nam-Ek with heat vision.
"Good, just a warning though, but an unauthorized fighter jet has just taken to the sky, and it's carrying a special heavy payload." Said Fury with a scowl and a furious expression as he turned and glanced out the window, eyeing the smoke trail the fighter jet left behind.
"When you're talking special heavy payload, please tell me you mean only a nuclear warhead and not one of those prototype missiles Shield has been making with the energy siphoned from the Tesseract. And before you ask how I know, remember, I can hear everything." Replied Pharaoh with a frown as he protected a school bus full of children from Zod, who threatened to slice it in half, though he managed to cover the bus in his aura, protecting it from harm.
"Yes, it'll arrive within twenty minutes, and when I say you can't allow that thing to land, you can't. It'll wipe Manhattan completely off the map." Stated Fury seriously with a cold yet angry tone as he looked back to Tut's battle, only to see him get blasted with heat vision into the sky.
"Are you kidding me? Who are the fucking idiots who allowed this!? Was it that fucking stupid ass council you speak to!?" Questioned Pharaoh in slight shock before practically yelling through the earpiece angrily, causing Fury to remove his own from his ear.
"Most likely, they greatly dislike when anything is out of their control; that's why they're so incessant on mutant suppressive devices and whatnot, though I'm sure you already knew that." Said Fury with a nod as he tapped his finger on the desk, only to see Pharaoh glare at the chopper in anger.

So, I'm curious, but does anyone want my Special Heavy Payload?😀
