Chapter 1 – The Visitor
Millions of light-years from Earth, a star shaped ship was racing through space at lightspeed. Inside, a small pink creature slept peacefully, when suddenly, a meteor flew by and crashed right into the ship.
The little pink thing woke up with a start at the impact, and looked around wildly as his ship started flying in a completely different course. Of course, the pink being didn't realize this, and just shook it off and went back to sleep as its ship veered off into unknown territories.
ooooo
Eighteen months later…
"Sir, we've got something!"
On the bridge of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Agent Sitwell blinked over to a young BridgeTech. The Helicarrier was still undergoing repairs after Loki's attack, which was almost a month ago. Walking over to the tech, Sitwell looked over his shoulder and studied the monitor. It showed an unknown object passing through the atmosphere and plummeting towards Earth.
"Meteorite?" Sitwell asked the tech.
The tech shrugged. "I don't know, sir. Given recent events, it could be anything."
"What's the trajectory?" Sitwell asked.
"It's on a collision course." The tech said. "Headed straight for the Rocky Mountains."
"Shit." Sitwell cursed. "What kind of time do we have?"
"Less than an hour, sir. Not enough time to stop the impact."
"Damnit. If the public gets wind of this we are going to have another major crisis on our hands." Sitwell said. "File your findings to Director Fury."
"Sir?"
Sitwell turned back to the BridgeTech, eyebrow raised. The tech cleared his throat. "Do you actually think it could be aliens?"
"Given what's happened recently?" Sitwell said. "It just might be."
ooooo
On the beaches of Miami, Florida, Agent Soladat Wrekk, codename Archangel, was lying down on a sunbathing chair, clad in sunglasses, a black short tanktop to cover up her folded wings, and bikini shorts. Her curly brown hair was tied back in a ponytail, and she was enjoying the rays of the sun coming down on her.
"Aliens, gods, machines." Soladat said quietly. "Finally a day without all of that."
But then she heard the sound of her cellphone ringing, and groaned.
"Of course."
Taking off her sunglasses, she reached over into her bag, which was lying beside her chair, and reached around for her phone. Finding it, she read the collar ID.
Fury.
She answered it, and didn't even give the director enough time to speak.
"Whatever it is, Nick, I'm sure it can wait." Soladat said, frowning.
"With how we work, Agent Wrekk, there's no time to wait." Fury responded. "We have a situation in the Rocky Mountains we'd like you to look into."
"The Rockies?" Soladat said. "I kinda prefer the beaches of Miami right now, Nick."
"I'm sure you are." Fury said. "But we're looking at possibly another alien visitation, and I think that's important enough to drag you out of your vacation time."
Soladat blinked. "Another one? Is Earth now suddenly the universal vacation spot?"
"I don't know, Soladat." Nick said. "I just need you to investigate it. We're not sure exactly what it is. It could just be a meteorite for all we know."
"But why me?" Soladat said. "What about Natasha or Clint? Hell what about Darcy and Xegh? I mean she's our experienced alien fighter here, right?"
"Agent Romanoff and Agent Barton off of surveying potential candidates for the Initiative. As for Thordis and Hikesh, they're both at the New Mexico installation helping Ms. Foster and Dr. Selvig in their research." Fury explained. "And I can't even reach Stark or Rogers, so you're the best I've got right now."
Soladat sighed. "Fine. Just give me the location and I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Affermative." Fury said. "Fury out."
Fury hung up, and Soladat grumbled and she shoved her phone back into her bag. She got up from her chair and put her sunglasses back on and her bag over her shoulder. So Earth might have another alien visitor? After seeing the Frost Giants and then the Chitauri, Soladat could only wonder what this new creature could look like…
ooooo
In the woods of the Rocky Mountains, a star shaped ship lay ruined in a deep impact crater. Inside, its little pink passenger woke with a start, and looked around in confusion. He couldn't see through the window, as it was all fogged up with dirt and dust. Looking around at his ship's controls, he pushed a large red button, and the hatch flew open.
Sucking in some air, the alien fluttered up out of the ship like a balloon and hovered above the ground. Exhaling, the creature landed lightly on the ground and looked around to see himself surrounded by trees.
"Poyo?"
The creature turned around to see his ship, and gave a sad face when he saw how totaled it was. Scratching his head in thought, the alien blinked when he heard a loud chirping sound. Looking up, he saw a red bird sitting atop a tree branch, cocking its head in confusion and chirping loudly.
The alien gave a smile, which looked frighteningly adorable on its small, cartoonish face, and suddenly started inhaling like a vacuum at the bird. The bird chirped in surprise as it was suddenly being pulled towards the alien's mouth, and flapped wildly to escape the suction.
But it was too late for the bird, as it was sucked into the alien's mouth and swallowed whole.
The pilot rubbed his… stomach, wherever it was, and started hopping around happily.
"Poyo!" Then, the alien eagerly looked around the wooded area and wondered off into the wilderness.
Here is the first story in the dossier collection, which will be a number of stories that will introduce a few different potential candidates for the Avengers Initiative, whether they be owned by Marvel or not. In this case, Nintendo's Kirby. Those who don't like it don't read. My little bro requested I do this one, as he is a huge Nintendo fan.
The events of this story, if you haven't already guessed, take place a month after Phase One in United They Stand.
