Chapter 5: S.H.I.E.L.D
It's been a few weeks since Soron was inducted into S.H.I.E.L.D and he was still hating every second of it. One day when Soron was in the training room destroying the Life Model Decoys someone walked up to him and said, "So you're the recruit huh. What form is that exactly? It looks like the tiger thing that Fury brought in a while back." Rath stared at the agent then grunted as he resumed his bashing of the LMDs however when the LMDs turned into the smashers Rath roared, "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING LMDS! NOBODY BEATS RATH NO MATTER HOW STRONG THEY ARE! ESPECIALLY WHEN I GO ULTIMATE!" right before he slabbed the golden symbol on his chest and when the golden light subsided a green extremely buff cat that looked like Battle Cat but bipedal and without a tail. The agent widened his eyes in awe as he watched Ultimate Rath take on the LMDs and win, but he had no chance against the Hulk LMD. Ultimate Rath was punched across the room to crash into the wall, which caused Ultimate Rath to roar, "YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BEAT ULTIMATE RATH HULK LMD, BUT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BEAT…" right before he slapped his chest again and this time a less buff more human looking one took his place. "Mystico!" yelled a girl with a black cloak. The agent blinked twice as he stared at the girl and dropped his jaw when he saw her shoot some black substance at LMD Hulk which took him down immediately. "Magic beats brawn." said an emotionless voice.
As soon as Fury walked in he widened his eye at the strange development then shook his head before he said, "Agent MacLeod. You are to report to Agent Coulson immediately." Mystico glared at him before fading into the shadow, but when Fury received a call from Coulson a few minutes later he slammed his fist into his desk. "Dammit!" yelled Fury then he immediately called Carol Danvers and when she picked up he said, "I have an agent that's gone rogue and is uncontrollable. I need you to pick a team to take him down. He's too powerful for you alone." Meanwhile, Mystico had arrived at Doom's palace and noticed that it was heavily guarded but that only made her smirk. She immediately faded into the shadows and kept an eye on the whole island till she found Natasha. Natasha was staring at her cell wall with an emotionless expression as she tried to make a plan to escape when she was suddenly staring at a girl's face inside of the wall. Natasha quickly jumped back before readying herself in a defensive position. However, when the girl said, "Relax Nat. It's me Soron, but in this form you can call me Mystico." she slowly relaxed then raised an eyebrow at Mystico before she started laughing uncontrollably. "What's so funny?" asked Mystico with genuine curiosity, but she only received more laughter from Natasha which made her grumble before she grabbed Natasha and took her from her cell. When they had arrived on another continent Mystico finally slapped her right shoulder which transformed her back into Soron who asked, "Why did you break out into laughter Nat?"
When Natasha finally slowed down her laughter she said, "I just found the idea of you becoming a girl as hilarious. If that insulted you, I'm sorry about that. Wait, where's the rest of the team? Also, why did it take you so long to come to our rescue?" Soron looked away for a few minutes before he said, "I only planned to rescue you and Fury kept me under surveillance for a few weeks. He was ready to abandon you and the others. I had my chance to escape from it, so I took it." Nat stared at Soron before striding up and slapping him in the face as she glared at him. "We are going back for the others right now. Never leave a man behind, besides they would never leave you behind! Avengers don't ever abandon each other." said Natasha sternly and Soron saw the look in her eyes then nodded reluctantly. "I need to let the Megatrix recharge a bit. I used quite a bit of power today." Natasha was annoyed but she slowly accepted it, but when she had walked a few steps a way she made a realization. "Were you drafted into S.H.I.E.L.D by Fury?" asked Natasha cautiously then when Soron nodded once she growled once. "He's labeled you as rogue and uncontrollable now. Not even your status as an Avenger will help you now. After we save the my friends you have to go on the run." Soron slowly nodded before he laid down and stared at the stars. "You know, I've never told you what it was like being immortal. It's horrible most of the time, but there are good things about it too. I've seen civilisations rise and fall which is both awesome and sad. I've lost friends, but I always gain more. The longer I love, the more I lose myself. By the time I'm nine billion I suspect that I'll lose everything that makes me human. I was on my way to that, but you help me remember what it means to be human."
After the Megatrix beeped which indicated that it had recharged Soron immediately changed into Jupiter and teleported both of them back to Latveria. "You go break them out of the cells. I'll deal with Doom." said Jupiter before he flew into the sky and and proceeded to shoot lightning from his hands. Victor Von Doom was in his lab when he heard the alarm blare which made him snarl. When he made it outside he saw lightning striking the ground and trailed it upwards then saw someone shooting lightning from his hands. "VICTOR VON DOOM! YOU HAVE PRETENDED TO BE A GOD FOR TOO LONG! I WILL NOT LET THAT RESUME ANYMORE!" yelled Jupiter as he saw Doctor Doom staring at him. Doctor Doom scoffed before he said, "You are no god. You are even more of a pretender than I." Suddenly, a pillar of light blasted down from the sky and when it vanished some one said, "Doom! You will release my friends immediately! I Thor son of Odin will not let you keep them!" yelled Thor angrily before he summoned some lightning and slammed it down into the ground which caused a large shockwave to go down in a big radius. Doom merely raised his right eyebrow in amusement before he said, "I have beaten you at every turn Asgardian." Before Thor could respond Jupiter flew down at Doom and grabbed him by the throat with his right hand before he allowed his other hand to start emanating lightning. "You will no longer live in this world Doom! Let the underworld judge you harshly!" snarled Jupiter before he punched his left fist into his right chest and started shocking Doom's heart repeatedly. Natasha had just managed to open all of the cellblocks when she heard a bloodcurdling scream coming from outside. Jupiter dropped Doom on the ground and looked up when he heard a gasp, then saw Natasha staring at Jupiter and Doom who was dead on the ground. "The whole world will see you as a villain for killing a government official now. There is no redemption for you." Jupiter stared at Nat with true sadness then said, "I destroyed my own universe. I'm sorry Nat, but I am the villain of this story." right before teleporting away in a flash of lightning.
