Chapter 10 – Kree Wars: The Coming Storm
The Camps, City Square, Republic City…two weeks later
Alpha team has already advanced through the occupied streets without being alerted. It seemed that the new Captain's plan was going well, alpha team which consisted of the new Captain, Nova, Iron Man and Korra had made their way to the city square. The area had been completely transformed; the little park in the middle of the square had been transformed into one of the many encampments made by the Kree to subjugate the humans.
The Captain did a signal to the rooftops, at first Korra thought that he was being silly but then she saw a figure appear on top of the rooftop. It was a figure of a man who took out a bow and arrow. He aimed towards the fuel canisters that the Kree used to power almost everything they used, from ships to comm. Towers and with these towers gone they would 'blinded' and cut from the fleet above.
The bow man shot at the canisters, the explosion was of blue color and unbendable as it seemed to not be made of fire. The comm. Tower itself began to fall on to itself, with several Kree engineers and soldiers scattering around. Iron Man then gave the archer thumbs up, the archer then proceeded to escape as several Kree Guardians began giving chase. This gave alpha team a window big enough to get the captive people out.
Outer Space
The mighty son of Odin had been blasting and destroying incoming Kree warships for days now. They seemed to be relentless on their assault on Earth. The Odinson had lost contact with his attack partner, the Sentry. Thor didn't care, although he is a god he still feels jealously and he can see that Sentry is attracted to Korra and Thor will have none of that. Still, he has to think about the Golden Guardian's safety and well-being and so he went on to look for him. Thor passed the Moon, it was bright and luminous, perhaps it were his eyes tricking him but he thought he had seen a hidden city on the dark side of the moon…he brushed it aside for now.
Thor flew towards the Kree Mothership that was stationed well beyond the Earth's orbit. The ship or station looked dark and lifeless, as if there was none inside. The God of Thunder entered through a already made hole in what it seemed to be a vehicle hangar…Thor searched for his colleague inside the dark and derelict ship.
Republic City, Earth
"Let's go team." The Captain said, and then they all moved towards the closed gates of the camp. Iron Man busted them opened. The team hurried to get the captives out, before the Kree soldiers returned.
"Tenzin, follow the others, you'll be okay." Korra said to her former mentor.
"Thanks Korra." Tenzin responded as he followed the others underground. The team had already secured the tunnels and made a way for them to fall back in case everything went south.
"Objective number two is coming." Nova said.
"You all know the plan, with their tower out; they'll send their forces from the barracks. If all went well, second team might have already taken care of that. Let's take these remnants out." The new Captain said.
The team led by the new Captain attacked the Kree Assault group coming in to their location, Iron Man and Nova flew and took several Kree Trackers down while The Captain and Korra worked together to smash their way through Kree Manipulars.
The Kree group didn't see them coming and were easily taken care of. Then an explosion was heard from the distance. "That must Team B." Iron Man said. "We better rendezvous with them at the checkpoint."
"Correct, let's go team." The Captain acknowledged and soon they followed his lead. They hurried through several alleyways and derelict buildings. In an abandoned boy's home, the Secret Avengers and The Mighty Avengers met.
"That was one hell of a ride." Torch said as they met with Team A.
"We are not finish just yet." The new Captain said. "There are still several encampments throughout the city, and we will need to spread out if we are to free the people inside. But with the main Kree barracks taken out, our job is significantly easier."
"What about the big metal men they have?" Korra asked.
"That's a problem." Nova added.
"No problem for Hulk, Hulk smashed big purple tin men!" Hulk yelled.
"Calm down there big guy, with the aid of several X-Men and Champions, we'll be able to defend ourselves." Iron Man said.
"Any word on the Asgardians up north?" Invisible Woman asked.
"Not yet, but their place has already been hit several times. All of the assaults done by the Kree have failed." Iron Man reported.
"That's what they get for messing with gods." Korra said.
"We'll need their help eventually if the Nova Corps don't get here on time." The Captain informed.
"They will, trust me." Nova said. "Have you been contacted by the Professor yet? He stayed to look after Asami and Mar-Vell."
"Not yet, but I am sure they are fine." Je Gray said. Mako was slightly calmed by this but he still worried.
"Speaking of missing friends…any word of Thor?" Iron Man asked Korra. She looked at her armband, it rested on her right bicep, it was blessed with the power of the runes and several magic spells…
"Not yet." Korra responded.
Kree Mothership, Outer Space
"Sentry!" Thor yelled across the dark metallic halls of the alien ship. Blood was splattered on the walls, floor and ceiling. A massacre….still, Thor was unfazed; he had seen worse in the battlefields of Jotunheim. "Sentry!"
"I don't like the looks of this, Thor." Daishi said to Thor.
"Indeed…" Thor responded. "I have not seen this level of carnage since the incident in Alfheim with the Storm Giants and the bottle of fire whiskey that the light elves obtained from Midgard."
"You should really tell me more of these adventures of yours since I am your reincarnation after all." Daishi said.
"Everything on their own time, friend, first we need to find this Sentry fellow." Thor responded as he kept walking down several halls and looking at empty rooms and halls.
"You don't like him, the Sentry guy." Daishi said.
"I don't know him that much." Thor said.
"No, what I mean is that you are jealous." Daishi said.
"Me, the Son of Odin, suffering from such mortal annoyances as jealousy? You jest." Thor responded.
"Come on Thor, I know you as much as I know about medical science. You're jealous." Daishi bothered.
"Sheesh…I hear something." Thor said as he raised his hammer. He got closer to the sound, he opened the metal gate and beheld the Sentry, and he seemed to be injured. "What the?"
Thor kneeled down next to the unconscious Sentry; he had been bathed in Kree blood and guts. The mighty Thunder God was puzzled, around him was several skeletons of Kree Elite Troopers, he knew this because the only thing left of these men were their uniforms. Sentry's uniform was ripped below his arms and back, but his cape was intact. Thor didn't know what had happened, but nevertheless, he took the Sentry on his shoulder and took him away from the mothership. After coming out, Thor used the Odinforce to blow the mothership up.
Kree Flagship, Outer Space
"Sir, mothership has been destroyed." A Kree officer reported to Ronan the Accuser.
"Curses!" Ronan cursed, he slammed his fist on the captain chair's armrest. "The being known as Thor has eluded us for too long!"
"We have just lost contact with planetside teams!" Another Kree officer reported.
"Several barracks have been lost, sir!" Another officer reported.
"Gah! No more! Bring us to atmosphere, we will end this battle!" Ronan commanded.
