Chapter 7

This Hostage Earth, Part 4

Insane

.

Earth 8096, Former Hydra Base

.

Amora the Enchantress stands by the portal in the middle of the room. She's keeping it stable.

Zemo stands behind her, observing.

Thor floats nearby, wrapped in glowing green chains.

Hidden from veiw behind trashed machinery, is a red-haired young man in his early twenties.

James wasn't sure what was going on. All he knew, was that his Aunt Amora and some Evil Purple Guy had a younger version of his Uncle Thor captive, and were obviously up to no good.

"Do not trust the Enchantress, Zemo", warned Thor, "Whatever she promised you, it is a lie. To her, mortals are nothing. They are beneath Asgardians. Not equals to be bargained with."

Zemo chuckles. From a bag hooked to his waist he pulls out a golden mind controlling collar.

This can't be good, thinks James.

"Do you think I ever trusted her?", taunts Zemo.

He walks behind Amora and snaps the collar around her neck.

She gasps, "You dare-Aagghh!"

Zemo has activated the collar, Amora's eyes white. Her face blank.

"Now, Enchantress, continue your spell. But when the armies of Asgard come to Earth, I want them under MY control", he whispers in her ear.

This guy is insane, thinks James and Thor.

.


Lake

.

Hawkeye and Pym watch as a burly Asgardian flys out of the water to places unknown to them.

"Wonder how that happened?", wonders Pym.

Hawkeye gives him a look, "Better question is how we ended up on a sand bar in the middle of a lake, when a few seconds ago we were in the Reactor Chamber!", his voice had steadily rose to the point of yelling at small yellow teen.

Then the Hulk walks out of the water, holding a large axe.

"Huh, lightweight", he says.

Pym squeaks and hides behind Hawkeye. Remembering his first encounter with the green giant.

"And I believe that that answers your question", Hawkeye says camly.

Hulk looks at them with narrowed eyes. But before anyone can do anything, the water comes alive! Tentacles of water wave through the air. Faces in the water glare at the trio.

"Well, that's new", Hawkeye says unhelpfuly.

.


Island Castle

.

The phantom-like creatures slowly approach Crimson Dynamo. He's starting to panic. Two grab at the glass dome protecting his head. He flails his arms, trying to send the creatures away.

"No-no! Stay away!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Dynamo", Captain America pushes himself off the ground with his hands. This propels his feet against Dynamo's dome. Shattering it open.

The creatures take advantage of this new entrance. Dynamo's screams of horror can be heard for miles.

From a safe distance away, Steve watches stone-faced, "Always stay focused on the matter at hand, Comrade."

Just then, the comms. come back online.

"Anyone listening?", Hanks voice asks, "We've got a big problem here!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the castle, Skaar is fighting off the phantom creatures as best he could.

Slash with his sword! Punch with his fist! Yell in it's face! (That last one didn't really help)

Slash! Punch! Slash! Slash! Yell!

"Skaar don't know where he is!", he yelled into a creatures face. Proper grammer quickly forgotten in his mini rampage.

He slashed another creature.

"Skaar don't know how he got here!"

Punch! Slash! Punch!

"What Skaar dose know!"

Slash!

"Is Skaar is-!"

SHLIK! A peice of stone brick slid to the ground in a clean cut.

"MAD!"

.


Jungle

.

Clint releases an arrow. The arrow whizzes through the air. Pinning Chemistro to the trunk of a tree with a gluey substsnce.

Chemistro glances at his hand and and then glares at Clint. He aims his acid gun at the purple archer.

Spider-Woman lands in a crouch next to Clint.

THWIP! THWIP!

The nosle to Chemistro's acid gun is clogged up and his lower body is stuck to the tree. The gun explodes from the pressure. Acid covering his form. But it's not strong enough to eat through the webs or glue, but has no problems with his mask.

"Aagghh! Help me! This stuff is dangerous!"

"Acid? Dangerous?", May tilts her head to the side in mock thought, "Nah! You'll be fine!"

Chemistro glares at her after taking off his half melted mask.

Hawkeye glances at her before pulling out his ID Card.

"Does anyone know how to stop this-Whatever it is? I'm surrounded by Elves and Spider-Man's little sister is spouting off bad puns."

"Actually I'm-Hey!", she yells indignatly, "They aren't that bad!"

"Yeah, right...", Clint rolls his eyes, unconvinced, "Thanks for the help, but really, who are you?"

May stands up on the branch both of them are on, "Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Woman", confidently using her father's catch phrase.

"I mean who are you really?"

"You mean my secret identity?"

He nods.

May snorts, "Yeah, nice try. But I don't just give my identity out to just anyone. I know I'm in an alternate dimension",she shrugs, "but I still can't just go around telling everyone who I am."

"Alternate dimension?"

May sighs, shoulders slumped, "It's a long story. Well, not really long, but-Yeah, this is going to take a bit of explaining."

.


Cematary

.

Wonder Man, AKA Simon Williams, is knocked out of the sky by Black Panther's vibranium shots.

He lands on the ground and shoots purple energy at T'Chala. But he dodges.

Shadowy arms reach through the fog and grab at Wonder Man's legs.

He panics and blasts them and flys up higher to get away from them clawing limbs.

"What is this? What's happening?!"

"I do not know Simon Williams. bit it is time to ask yourself. Do you truly beleve there will be a world left for you to live in if you help Zemo?"

Wonder Man hesitates, unsure of what to do. In the end he decides to fly away.

"Aaaggghhh!"

Panther whips around to find Dark Elves surounding him. But not all of them were focused on him. Many were chasing a young women with blond hair.

Panther pounced into action.

.


Rain Forrest

.

The Living Laser zips to the top of the cavern.

iron Man dodges a lser beam.

"JARVIS begin energy absorbstion!"

Laser rams into Tony, only to be absorbed into the armour.

"Aagghh! Energy relese...Now!"

The Living Laser is shot out of the Unibeam and into space.

Iron Man colapses to his hands and knees. He removes his face plate, panting heavily.

"Wha-where? Tony?!", shouts a concerned voice.

Tony looks up to see a young dark skinned man. He had a jagged crew cut and wore a sleeveless black bodysuit. His worried (and a bit confused) brown eyes, told Tony he wasn't an enemy.

"Okay...", the man dragged the word out, "I'm in a weird cave with a younger-than-I-last-checked Tony Stark",he looks up to stare at the glowing alien rock giving out energy in waves, "with a Norn Stone."

"How did you-"

"And we've got company!"

Tony turns his head to see a multiple pairs of eyes glowing in the shadows.

"Thor? Thor!", he yells into his ID Card, "Any tips on how to turn off a magic rock?"

.


Former Hydra Base

.

James watched as Zemo approached Thor with his sword uncheathed.

"I've never slain an Asgardian before", Zemo says with sick glee.

Thor tries to summon Mjonir. But with the dome in place, it dosn't even budge.

"I'm looking forward to it", Zemo raises his sword.

WHAM!

Zemo falls to the ground, unconsious.

"Not today, your Highness!", James comes out of his hiding place, catching his sheild in one hand.

He walks over to Amora and uses his sheild to break the collar around her neck.

She gasps, her hand shooting up to her throat. Her brows knits together.

"Who are you?", she asks him.

Now it's his turn to be confused, "What do you mean? It's me, James."

"I have never met you before, Mortal."

James looks confused. Then it clicks, "No, you havn't. Not yet", he says more to himself.

"What are you talking abou-"

"Your opening a portal to Asgard", James inturupts, facing the portal, "And Unc-er-Loki's forces will come through. So he can conquor Earth."

Both Thor and Amora looked at him in shock. Before either can ask him how he knows this, James slams his sheild at Amora's head.

"Agh!", she stumbles back, holding forehead. Thor winces, that has to hurt.

But then he falls to the floor. The binds having disapeared while Amora had been distracted. He quickly contacts the Avengers and tells them to destroy the Norn Stones.

"How dare you!", Amora yells. Her hands glow green, ready to attack the red-headed man. But then she freezes at the sight that catches her attention.

Thor was about to destroy the Stone with his hammer.

James and Amora quickly forget about each other. Their focus, keeping Thor from destroying the Stone.

Time seems to slow down.

James and Amora reaching forward to stop Thor.

Their protests coming to late.

And Mjonir making contact with the Stone.

JARVIS

.

"All magical activety has subsided. Threat level, zero. Connection to Iron Man armour, lost. Connection to Avengers iD Cards, lost. Avengers bio-signitures, not found."

.


Asgard

.

"What an unexpected surprise", said a voice that was anything but surprised.

Thor and James lifted their heads from the ground to see who had spoken.

"Neh!", Thor gasps.

"Welcome home, Brother."

As Loki laughs James analyzes his situation.

The crack in the Reactor. The Norn Stones. The protal Evil Aunt Amora was creating. A clean shaven younger Thor.

He knew what was happening.

He knew was going to happen.

He knew because he'd read about it.

In a history book.
