Avengers: Rise of Legends
A marvel/Digimon x-over by Dark Anbu Knight
Chapter 1: The Kree
18 year old Tai Kamiya sat on top of car, looking up at the stars. He had graduated High School a month prior and was contemplating his future. While the digidestined had grown apart, Tai still had missed the good old days. Though he doubted it would every be the same again, considering the fight he had gotten into two months ago.
-Flashback-
It was a few weeks before senior graduation. Tai was sitting in the café as he and the others had a started doing during high school. In his hands was a copy of the Daily Globe, an internationally printed newspaper focusing about the world. He was fascinated at the antics of various super heroes from America; his favorite was Spider-Man. A man who looked like his age out saving the day from the likes of Doc Ock, Electro, and Green Goblin. He saw him as a hero, despite what another paper called the Daily Bugle said. Another batch of heroes Tai liked reading about was the X-men. Mutants who used there abilities to show the world mutants weren't the unstable monsters Senator Kelly claimed them to be. These stories came to a screeching halt a year ago, and no one heard from the X-men since. The Fantastic Four was also pretty interesting to hear about, but it was mainly about Reed Richard's inventions.
"Hey Tai." Sora said as she, Izzy, and Matt showed up. Tai didn't want to look up from his paper. On Sora's hand, was an engagement ring. Matt had proposed to her and promised to marry Sora after college. It hurt Tai to lose Sora like this. He tried to tell her his feelings, but he could never muster the courage. Although, it wasn't the same. Sora had changed. Gone was his soccer loving, slightly angered, tomboy, sisterly teammate, and now was a tennis playing, girly girl, easily angered, stranger.
"You still read that junk?" Sora asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, I do like to know what goes on in our world." Tai answered, emphasizing our world.
"Those guys at the globe only print junk." Sora said.
"I don't know, they do interest me about Tony Stark." Izzy said. Tony Stark was the biggest name in weapons in the world. Also parties, women, and booze.
"Well you won't like this, he's been captured." Tai said, handing him the paper with a certain page open.
Izzy grabbed hold and read the article.
"They say he was showing off his new weapon and a terrorist group snatched him." Tai explained.
"Yeah, the Jericho missile." Izzy said, looking up. "Using repulsor tech, it releases a massive number of high powered explosive charges."
"Nice." Tai sad happily.
"Quit reading that and grow up." Sora said irritated.
"It's just some news." Tai insisted.
"No its lies people make up to sell stories." Sora insisted, taking the paper. "Look, a guy in a red costume with Spider powers."
"It could happen." Tai said. "We all said the same about the digital world."
"He's got a point." Izzy said.
Matt put his hand on Izzy's shoulder and warned. "Don't."
"That's different, it's the digital world, a lot could happen." Sora shouted.
"So out of the ordinary stuff can't originate from earth?" Tai asked getting agitated.
"No, just not too unbelievable." Sora shouted. "Like this." She pointed to an article. "A paramedic from New York claims to be the girlfriend of Thor."
"So, people have a hard time believing you're getting married to Matt." Tai pointed out. He grabbed the paper and left, leaving change for his coffee.
-End Flashback-
After that, Sora stopped talking to him. He tried to patch things up with the girl, but she wouldn't listen. Majority of the other digidestined agreed with her. Kari and Izzy were the only two who did. Joe was neutral territory as he was still in college. Everyone left him alone as Joe once had a stress related heart attack, and ended up staying in the hospital for a week. Davis, on the other hand sided with Sora due to the fact that Kari broke his heart several months ago and in rage, returned Tai's goggles. Tai left them hanging on the side of his bed. He decided that he had enough stargazing and leave. He started his car and drove off. Not 5 minutes in to his trip, his car shut down.
"What the?" Tai asked. He tried to start it again, but nothing happened.
"Cheap piece of junk." Tai shouted. His thoughts were interrupted by the car shaking, he looked up and the roof of his car tore off. With a flash of light, Tai was blinded.
Before he knew it, he was walked down a hallway by someone.
"What's going on here?" Tai asked have dazed. He was led into a room and thrown in.
"Hey!" Tai shouted. His eyes widened, his capturers were turquoise faced humans. They were clad in some kind silver armor. The door closed behind him, right before Tai could get to them. "Great, I've been abducted by aliens."
"Open this door!" Tai demanded. He repeatively slammed his fist on the door, but it wouldn't budge.
"Great." Tai groaned. He looked around the room he was in and noticed he wasn't alone. Not too far away from him face down was a girl his age of American decent, she had long blond hair tied into a low ponytail and had perfect curves. She was clad in a short sleeve blue blouse, tan pants, and black boots. The girl soon began to stir, revealing she had lovely blue eyes.
"Hi." Tai opened up with. Her response was not so friendly. The girl slammed Tai into the wall and placed a firm grip on his neck.
"Who are you, and what am I doing here?" She demanded.
"I don't know." Tai said, gasping for air.
The girl looked at him and her eyes widened. "You're Tai Kamiya, the leader of the Japanese digidestined." She immediately released her grip.
"You know that how?" Tai asked, rubbing his throat.
"I just do." The girl said, innocently. "I'm Carol by the way, Carol Danvers."
"Hey." Tai said. He took off his jacket, feeling warm, his eyes not leaving the girl. Tai knew she wasn't telling the truth. He then pulled out his cell, revealing it had no bars.
"No reception on mine either." Carol said, pulling out her cell.
"So how did you get here?" Tai asked.
"I was taking a walk and wound up here." Carol said quickly.
Before either could say anything else, four more of the aliens came in. Two took Tai, while the others grabbed Carol. Both teens tried to struggle, but to no avail.
Over the course of what seemed like hours, Tai was tortured, injected and electrocuted. Tai did his best to stay conscious, but it wasn't working out so well. Whatever they were doing to him, it hurt, and took a lot of energy away. After what seemed like hours, Tai was thrown back into the room face first, the only difference was he was now stark naked.
"Ow." Tai said weakly. He tried to stand up, but nothing happened. The doors opened once more and Carol was thrown in in the same predicament. The only difference was Carol seemed to be unconscious. Using what little strength he had left he crawled over to Carol and tried to shake her awake.
"C'mon Carol, stay with me." Tai said weakly. She didn't budge.
"Damn it." Tai cursed. He then remembered he left his jacket in the room. With what energy he had left, he crawled over and pulled his jacket over Carol. Tai laid back down, completely exhausted.
To his own surprise he felt some weight on his back.
"You're such a gentleman." Carol said weakly. She then gave him a light peck on the cheek. Over the course of the next few days the two had the same day, experimented on, then left for dead in the room. At least they thought it was days. Since they didn't have their cells anymore and there was no way of telling time.
The two were at least grateful they were given clothes of some kind. Tai was now clad in a full body suit which was black with red shoulders, upper legs, and a red v like strip across the chest. On his wrists were large blue bands. Carol was clad in a black and red unitard which sleeve reached her upper arms, and red shorts reaching her mid calf. The shoulders and sleeves were red as well and a yellow star was on the front. Though some details were hard to tell as Carol was still wearing Tai's jacket for obvious reasons. Carol was currently lying on top of Tai, her head on his chest. During their imprisonment, the two had become close, and found out they had a lot in common. They both loved sports, and had alcoholic fathers. Carol had always wanted to be in the USAF and had recently gotten her pilots license. Tai even felt comforted enough to tell Carol some of his adventures.
"So then, Shogungeckomon is all like, you call that singing?" Tai explained, laughing in the process, "Then he starts blasting down the walls as everyone's running around crazy."
"To be fair, I don't like being woken up either." Carol joked.
"I even remember herring some of the Geckomon saying they didn't want the guy up in the first place." Tai laughed again. As he stopped to continue the story, his eyes widened.
"Uh Carol?" Tai asked, in a serious and panicked tone. "When did the ceiling get so low?"
"What are you?" She began only to see that Tai was right. She looked down and saw they were floating in mid air. Carol got off Tai, and found out she was flying along side Tai.
"What's happening to us?" Carol asked her voice filled with shock. Before Tai could respond, they both felt incredibly heavy and slammed into the ground.
"Gravity control?" Tai groaned. Soon, a gas was released causing the teens to pass out.
Tai tried his hardest to wake up, in doing so he heard the words early, Skrull, and experiment. All meaning, he had to wake up. Then a blast was heard, several in fact. Tai's eyes shot open, one of the aliens was blasting several others.
"What the?" Tai asked. He tried to move, only to reveal he was on a table, covered with restraints.
"Total Sci-fi movie moment." He said. He turned to see Carol trying to escape as well.
"Stand still." The alien ordered, after the last had fallen. He had a futuristic blaster in hand and shot the teens restraints.
"Already, I like you." Carol said grateful. After she got out of her restraints, she floated upwards.
"Carol." Tai cried, with an outreached hand. As he did, energy build up in his hand, and shot a powerful beam at Carol. She barely dodged.
"Not cool." Carol shouted, as she landed.
"How'd I do that?" Tai asked, freaked.
"Your powers are adapting to your DNA faster than expected." The alien said.
"Our what's doing what?" Tai asked freaked. As he made a fist, the power in Tai's hand grew. The same was with Carol.
"I know," The alien said, exasperate, "But not here, I'm getting you two off this ship."
"Cool." Tai said, as he and Carol left the room.
"Wait did he say ship?" Carol asked.
"Yes, I did." The alien said.
"And you are?" Tai asked.
"Captain Mar-Vell of the Kree Empire." The alien said, as the three continued down the hall. "The two of you are the first in our Kree/Human hybrid projects to survive."
"What?" Tai demeaned, getting angry. Carol shared his anger. As they did, energy build up in their hands.
"Let me explain." Mar-vell said, trying not to experience their wrath. "For years, we have been at war with the Skrull Empire, who wish to take control over this solar system."
"Why?" Tai asked, not getting this.
"For, some reason that we aren't even aware off, this part of space is the easiest for wormhole creation." Mar-Vell explained the best he could.
"Ok." Carol said, trying to understand this.
"But the Skrull have gone to places we haven't with our solders." Mar-Vell said. "They've experimented on their own with DNA from various life forms and Digimon."
"Wait, you know about Digimon?" Tai asked surprised.
"Yes, for some reason, Digimon have been showing up all over the galaxy, attacking randomly." The alien said. Carol shifted nervously at that.
"Define experimented with." Carol said, trying to change the subject.
"One of their soldiers has the combine powers of the heroes on your planet the Fantastic Four." The captain explained as they continued down the hall.
"And what happened to us?" Tai asked.
Captain Mar-Vell lowered his head. "You've been spliced with Kree DNA, giving you amazing powers such as flight, enhanced durability, energy projection, and enhanced strength." He then looked upset. "You two are the first to survive the experiments."
"Out of how many?" Tai asked eyes widened.
"Too many." The Kree said.
"So, uh, the costumes?" Carol asked, hoping to change the subject.
"They allow your additional powers to stabilize." Mar-Vell said, as he turned to Tai. "Those bracers on your arms are called Nega-bands, they allow you to alter your frequency of your energy beams with a thought, enabling you to pierce energy shields."
"And what do I get?" Carol asked.
"You've been given the ability to absorb energy and add it to your own strength, which in turn gives you a slight resistance to energy." The Kree explained. "The two of you were scheduled to be brainwashed into our soldiers, in time for the grand accuser's arrival."
"The who?" Tai asked, not liking the sound of that.
"The Kree warrior who will decide if earth is good enough to join the Kree Empire," The Captain explained. "Though with your encounters with Digimon, it won't look good."
"Ok, why not just attack the Skrull home world, and make them surrender?" Carol suggested.
"Because they don't have a home world, it was eaten by Galactus." Mar-vell said.
"What!" Carol asked freaked.
"Ok, I have a question, if we just escaped from your operation table, why hasn't anyone else shown up?" Tai brought up, as the three reached the door.
"That's a valid point." Mar-Vell admitted.
"Open the door." Carol said firmly.
"What?" Mar-vell asked.
"Do it." She insisted.
Captain Mar-vell reluctantly opened the door, and several rounds were fired. All hit Carol. As they did, yellow energy covered her.
"Hit the deck." Carol shouted. She raised her hands and unleashed a powerful energy blast. When the smoke cleared, all Kree soldiers were unconscious.
"I love being half you." Carol said gleefully, turning to the captain.
"Remind me never to get her mad." Tai told the alien.
"Good idea." Mar-Vell said.
The three continued through the ship, with Carol taking up the rear, looking exhausted.
"So where we headed?" Tai asked.
"The hanger, we're getting you of the ship, then explaining this to your leaders." Mar-vell said.
"So why are you helping us?" Carol asked.
"Because I've been to Earth, you have a right to live, despite what the Supreme Intelligence has to say." The Kree explained.
"The what?" Tai asked.
"The organic/computer hybrid that is our leader." He explained.
"That's stupid." Carol said in disbelief.
"It is a commonly brought up topic." Mar-vell admitted.
The three made their way down the halls and stopped at one door in particular.
"Wait here, I'm going on ahead to secure the area." Mar-vell ordered. As the Kree walked on ahead, Carol slumped down to the ground.
"Something wrong?" Tai asked concerned, getting down to her level.
"We're hosed." Carol groaned, tears running down her face.
"You just took down an army of aliens." Tai reminded.
"And I feel completely drained." Carol cried. Tai was shocked as Carol pulled him into a hug.
"What's wrong?" Tai asked.
"Tai, I think it's best to tell you how I know about you." Carol cried, and braced herself, "I intern at SHIELD."
"That big security force with the huge air ship?" Tai asked.
Carol nodded, "They have files on all of you since Parrotmon, afraid you all might go all invasion on us."
"That wouldn't happen." Tai shouted.
"You're on the list of digidestined that Shield is certain won't turn on Earth." Carol stated.
"That's actually comforting to hear." Tai admitted. He then noticed Carol's mood getting worse.
"So, you're like a solider?" Tai asked, hoping to cheer her up.
"No, I push the mail cart around, and bumped into the files on you guys." She continued to cry. "Karla was right about me."
"Hey, don't feel bad, we all start somewhere." Tai said, trying to help.
"Easy for you say, you've got experience in these situations." Carol shouted, tears still in her eyes.
"Hey, I'm a cheerleader." Tai said. "Basically, my partner Agumon does all the work, and I just get him to digivolve and stuff."
Carol stopped her tears and looked at him.
"Truth be told, this is the first time I've ever done anything like this by myself." Tai admitted.
Just then, a series of shots were heard, the two humans turned to see the Captain, slammed against the wall. He was clutching the side of his body.
"Captain." Tai shouted. He immediately rushed down the hall with Carol right behind him. Several Kree soldiers came from around the corner.
Tai lifted his arms and concentrated, the energy built up and shot at the aliens. The aliens were blasted into the wall.
"Captain." Tai shouted. He and Carol dashed to the alien. "Hang on we'll get you some help."
"No time." Mar-Vell said weakly. He then handed the boy a card key. "Use this, get hanger, warn earth." Captain Mar-vell then closed his eyes and his head fell back.
Tai lowered his head, and looked more determine. "Still thinking we should give up?" Carol shook her head as her tears dried.
"Let's go." She said determined.
With energy flowing the two made their way down the halls and blasted any Kree soldiers that stood in their way.
"This is officially the strangest day of my life." Carol admitted slamming her bare foot into a Kree's face.
"I've had about 14 of those." Tai laughed. The two soon made their way into the hanger after inserting the card into a slot on the wall. The hanger was full of high tech space ships that looked like purple stealth jets.
"Any chance you can fly one of these things?" Tai asked.
"One way to find out." Carol said hopefully. They headed towards one and Tai turned around, he blasted away at the other ships.
"This way they can't follow us." Tai said, answering Carol's confused look.
"Alright, if they gave us lunch, get ready to loose it." Carol said, sitting in the cockpit. She was floored on how similar the controls were.
"Here goes everything." She pushed a control forward and the vehicle took off. The machine blasted off and several turrets from the main ship soon started targeting the ship.
Doing what she could, Carol dodged as many shots as she could.
"Could you find some weapons?" Carol asked stressed.
"Uh." Tai said, looking around. His eyes soon focused on another pair of controls. "Here goes something." Tai grabbed the controls and blasted the oncoming shots he could. Not long after, he began to feel woozy.
"Hey Carol," Tai began, only to see the girl had fallen unconscious.
"Damn it." Tai moved over to where Carol was and tried to take control over the ship itself.
"Hey, this is my thing, you make a lizard grow." Carol chuckled gain consciousness. Just then, the ship received a direct blast to the main engines.
"Oh man." Tai shouted.
"I think we're entering Earth's atmosphere." Carol shouted panicked.
"How close were we?" Tai asked.
"Just passed Mars was the ship." Carol shouted. She knew there was only one chance given their trajectory.
"This is going to hurt." Carol shouted.
Tai woke with a jolt. He looked around his surroundings and noticed he was in a hospital bed. He looked around and saw he was wearing scrubs and his negabands were still on. His eyes darted around the room.
"Tai you're up." Sora said happily as she entered the room.
The first thing Tai noticed was her engagement ring was off.
"We were all so worried after you had your accident,." Sora hugged Tai gently. "How you ended up in the ocean five days later is beyond me."
"Not that it's not good to see you again." Tai said confused. "But what room is Carol staying in?"
"Who?" Sora asked confused.
"Carol Danvers, the blond girl that was with me." Tai explained.
"Tai, you were alone when we found you." Sora explained.
So here's chapter one of a new story I've been considering for quiet sometime. I've already got a line up for the Avengers in this story. Don't worry, the main four are going to be in it. The more reviews I get, the faster the next chapter comes.
