Chereads / The Immortal [Invincible] / Chapter 9 - Alien

Chapter 9 - Alien

"Ok, what is it?" The man asked obviously tired, 

"Sir Cecil, we have an unknown incoming object and it's approaching fast" The man he met said pointing at the screen which showed a picture of the solar system and something approaching it. 

"What, why didn't you say this sooner, you could have just told me that on the phone" Cecil shouted as he instantly woke up from his half-asleep state

"Did you manage to contact the stranger?" Cecil asked his assistant who was standing beside him

"No, he still refuses to work with anyone and seems to just do as he likes for now" the assistant replied, Nolan had refused to work with them no matter how they approached him. 

"Do you know his current location?" Cecil asked

"No, he is too fast to track and placing a tracker on him is useless since most of them fly away from his body on multiple occasions, we simply have no way of tracing him for now" 

"Call up the Immortal, vacation's over," Cecil said sternly as he left the room

"Ok sir" the assistant replied as he followed him.

 A day later, Henry was floating above the Earth's atmosphere. In fact he had left Earth's gravitational field as he just floated there waiting. 

At the moment, Henry had added his own little changes to the Immortal's looks. There was nothing wrong with the Immortal's original looks after all the guy was a stunner but Henry just felt that the hair was a little bit long so he had trimmed it to better suit his needs though not so much that you wouldn't recognize him.

 Henry was also wearing a super suit that had the same design as the original but looking at it, one could easily tell that the fabric was different. 

Henry refused to go into battle with any being while only wearing normal clothes. Even if those clothes were designed not to burn up in the atmosphere when flying.

The super suits the current supes wore were made only for decoration and to resist the intense heat from flight but when in battle, the clothes rip apart easily. 

They can resist heat but they can't resist the simple pull of anyone with even a little bit of enhanced strength.

 "Finally" Henry said when he finally saw the unknown object flying towards him. Cecil had called him making noise about some unknown entity that was making its way towards Earth.

Henry didn't know who or what the so-called unknown entity was but he was happy to test out his power. 

It has been a little over a year since he acquired this new body of his and since then he hasn't really put it to good use. Though at the moment he was about 5x as strong as he used to be in his original body. 

It was all acquired through training and Age. He planned to use whoever was coming as a testing method to check his new power level.

"Good, you're the guardian, right? Let's begin" a strange voice said in Henry's mind and looking at its source, 

Henry saw an orange and hairless being. It was humanoid in nature but it had weirdly shaped body parts. For example, its head had a sharp protruding part at the back of the head, it had only three fingers and two toes.

The alien was wearing a uniform that looked weirdly like it was made from normal spandex. Henry looking at this creature immediately knew who it was, It was Allen the Alien. 

The alien came from a race called the Unopians. A race that was nearly destroyed by the Viltrumites but with their incredible technology they managed to survive and even create a being as sophisticated as Allen though, at the moment, he hadn't awakened his true power yet.

"Yes, I am but you are from the Coalition of Planets right," Henry asked

"Oh, you already know about us and yes, I am called Allen the Alien by most people in the planets I visit" Allen said as he extended his hand for a handshake

Looking at his habit, Henry could help but wonder what the writers of Invincible were thinking when they made basically every race speak English and all have normal human customs. 

How the hell does a guy who has never been to Earth know that we see handshakes as a sign of agreement or peace?

"Immortal" Henry replied as he shook the hand extended to him

"Oh okay…. Wait are you actually immortal" Allen asked slightly surprised

"Yes" Henry replied

"Wow that must really help but let's get on with the evaluation, I have a lot of other planets to visit" Allen said then immediately got into a fighting stance 

Henry smiled and played along after all Allen would never defeat him in hand-to-hand combat. This wasn't him being arrogant or anything but it was just a fact.

Most of the races in this universe don't even bother to study martial arts because their strength is enough. Just like how Superman doesn't need martial arts to fight when just a punch solves it all.

It was the same for the entire race of Viltrumites, Allen, Battle Beast and basically every other powerful being in this universe.

"Ready?" Henry asked

"Yeah, let's go" Allen replied then rushed straight in for a punch, no tactics just straight-out punch

Of course, Henry just looked at him and moved a little bit to the right thereby dodging Allen entirely then proceeded to land a punch to the alien's back followed by a kick. 

All happening at insane speeds, Allen was sent flying away from the Earth's orbit and to Mars.

As much as Henry would have loved to just smash out this guy's teeth whilst he was still on Mars, he knew that the planet still held many innocent lives beneath its surface so he picked up the Unopian as he flew towards the edge of the solar system.
