Marvelous Angel
Chapter Twenty-Five
Part One: Return of the Battle Angel
AN: This chapter will be set during the events of Captain Marvel, which is 1995 and happy new year everyone.
Vers and the Skrulls crash in Los Angeles. While Talos and the Skrulls assume the role of surfers on a beach the next day, Vers crashes through the roof of a Blockbuster Video in the middle of a shopping plaza.
A brief communication with Yon-Rogg, learning she will be stranded on Earth for the next 22 hours, she attracts the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. after a night-shift Los Angeles Police Department officer reports her in.
Nick Fury and Phil Coulson led by Keller arrive at Los Angeles to interrogate Vers, dismissing her Kree authority and her claims that the Skrulls have arrived on Earth.
Los Angeles train station
After landing in Los Angeles, he spotted Vers and tried to neutralize her with a Skrull Sniper Rifle. He failed and she went after him. He went into a nearby train and shapeshifted into an old lady who just got off the train.
Vers noticed and started fighting him. The bystanders thought that Vers was fighting just an old lady, so they held her back. He managed to get away and shapeshift into another person.
The Skrull though he had gotten away only to be struck by something or someone. His heart rate started to increase, his body is shaking in a form of a seizure.
He lost control of his shape shifting ability transforming into various people right before the crowd of humans. The Skrull could only look up to see a cloaked figure standing before him.
"You don't belong on this planet," spoke the female voice.
"Who are you? asked the Skrull with a gasp?
Before she could answer, the Skrull reached for his blaster hidden in his wrist and tried to aim at the mysterious woman. Only for the cold steel of the woman's blade sliced off the hand and then the head of the shape shifting alien.
Vers had arrived to find the Skrull she had been chasing is dead, decapitated by a mysterious cloaked woman. Their eyes met as the crowd of people looked on, to witness a return as the woman pulled back her hood, the crowd is in awe.
Alita, the legendary Battle Angel has returned.
Vers narrowed her eyes as if she had previously met this girl. A girl that roughly looks like she hasn't aged a day since World War two. The crowd then backed off as Vers hands started to glow.
"The Skull attacked me," said Vers "In the name of the Kree back off he may have something I want."
"Then stand down." Said Alita
"No," growled Vers
Vers fired her energy stream at Alita. However the Battle angel spins around by using her momentum in form of a spin and sent the energy stream right back at Vers square in the chest that sent her flying to some distance. What did Alita just do?
This is Ausser Stosse A counter maneuver which redirects the kinetic energy of an attacking opponent back at them using a spin, adding to the momentum.
Alita then stopped and stared at a crystal object on the ground near the Skrull and took it. At the same time agent, Nick Fury and Phil Coulson have shown up to see Alita standing there over a dead alien.
The Battle angel used her ability to hack into the crystal and right before her eyes are a flash of memories. It's not hers. It's someone she had met before a young girl named Carol Danvers who had grown up to be an air force pilot. Last reported she is dead according to the files.
"It's an honor to finally meet you," said Coulson
"Quit drooling fan boy," said Fury "What do you have there."
"It's a crystal of her memories, and her name is Carol Danvers." Said Alita "Hold onto this will you"
She handed the crystal to Fury.
"Where did she go," asked Fury?
"Hm" said Alita "By my calculations she will land on dodger stadium."
"It will take us awhile to get there," said Coulson.
"I can get us there right now." Replied Alita "Comes in handy."
A wave from her hand which two right glowed and a portal opened up to show another location dodger stadium. Alita acquired these objects awhile ago from the ancient one. What are they if anyone had to ask?
The Sling Ring is a two-finger ring used by the Masters of the Mystic Arts which enables the wearer to open a temporary portal to another location. She did have to master it first before using it to go places.
"Do I need to ask," said Coulson
"Nevermind" shrugged the shoulders of Fury "Let's go."
Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles
The warrior known as Vers crashed hard into the back of the empty baseball stadium, bounced hard like a pebble upon water in the outfield until she regained her footing which left a dirt trail behind her and ended up stopping at home plate. She shook off in how she was attacked by her own attack.
"Carol Danvers," called out Alita
Vers looked to see the girl along with two others she did not recognize. Could this girl be working for the Skrulls? She did not know and all Vers knows that she is an enemy.
"I am a member of the StarForce of the Kree empire," and Vers "You ally with the Skrulls that makes you an enemy."
"You had flashbacks," said Alita "The crystal holds a secret to your past."
"You know nothing of me." Growled Vers "Prepare to die."
Vers charged at Alita in full speed, which the Battle angel braced herself and blocked her hits, then counter acting her own hits only for them to be blocked by Vers. Alita did want to hurt Carol Danvers, but will have to put her down so she will stop.
Moving in super-Sonic speed, she got behind Vers and the space warrior tried to match the girls speed only for Vers to be struck by a strike by Alita. Vers bellowed in pain by grabbing her ears as the ringing wouldn't stop until Vers passed out. What did Alita use?
Verschlag An initial Hertza Haeon-like strike that triggers a shock wave which bounces inside the body like a rubber ball before focusing in the extremities. The target may notice this as a ringing in their ears.
"She isn't dead," said Fury
"No, I just knocked her out." Said Alita "Best you put the crystal on her."
Fury took the crystal out of his pocket, placed it in Vers hand.
"So what now," asked Coulson?
"There is a place which could jog her memory." Said Alita "Let's go."
Pancho's Bar
Vers or the woman known as Carol Danvers lies on the bed on the top floor of the bar. She is dreaming of the past, the past she never knew, the past that is hers and then something happened that made her scream and woke up. She took quick breaths a few times and wiped the sweat from her brow.
Looking around this place looked familiar and then she glanced at herself to realize she is not wearing a Kree uniform, more of a common citizen of this planet called Earth.
"So, your awake," said Alita
"I met you," said Danvers "It was years ago, a child, on a beach."
"Yes," nodded Alita.
"I need to know more," said Danvers.
"Yeah you do," said Fury "You recognize this place."
"The smell," said Danvers,"I remember a friend, Maria."
"It would be best to have your past checked out," said Fury "At the base."
"How do I know you two are not Skrulls? Said Danvers
"Trust me I never heard of a Skrull before." Said Fury
"A shape shifting alien is new to me," said Alita
"Very well take me there." Said Danvers "To this base."
"I'll leave this situation to Shield." Said Alita "For now"
"Works for me," said Fury
Rambeau residence, New Orleans
Both Rambeau and her daughter Monica are surprised to see Vers or Carol Danvers still alive. They didn't believe it at first, because visiting them is the legendary Battle Angel.
The two identify Vers as Carol Danvers, a fighter pilot who was seemingly killed with Lawson in a test flight gone awry. They also identify Goose as Lawson and Danvers' pet.
Talos and Norex arrive at the Rambeau Residence, only to negotiate a temporary alliance after Talos reveals that he was in possession of a black box from the plane crash.
Talos reveals that Danvers has been deceived by the Kree and that the Skrulls are simply homeless refugees constantly on the run from the Kree, on the brink of extinction.
"Sounds like a tyrant like people," said Alita
"Yes, they are," said Talos.
"You've done more than enough Alita," said Danvers "I'll take it from here."
"Sure thing." Said Alita "Always fly high like an angel."
Much later
The Skrulls take temporary shelter at the Rambeau Residence, where Talos begins to recover from his injuries. Before Danvers departs Earth with the Skrulls to find them a new home, she hands Fury a modified Transmitter Pager to call her in the event of an emergency.
"Nice work," said Alita
"I'll be back," said Danvers
"Get going Captain Marvel." Smiled Alita
With that the Battle angel walked away.
New Avengers facility: 2018
Bruce Banner, James Rhodes, Steve Rogers and Natasha are in a room and examining a pager that was signaling for awhile. Until suddenly the device stopped signalling. They are startled by the appearance of someone else, a woman in costume.
"Where's Fury," asksd Danvers "Where's Alita?"
They looked at the woman and gave sharp glances at each other.
