Somewhere near a planet, a small S.H.I.E.L.D. space ship, which was given as a gift by the Skrulls that now work for the agency, had been passing through several systems. Given the name Quake, the crew members onboard the space ship were Daisy Johnson, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Michael Davis, Piper Baines, Deke Shaw, and Imogen Snow, who were all going on a diplomatic mission to negotiate with the Kree, the very beings responsible for the creation of the Inhumans. As for the Kree, they are scientifically and technologically advanced militaristic race of mostly blue-skinned humanoids who the rulers of the Kree Empire, a large, interstellar imperial group that encompasses various planets, and features the Sakaaran species as a client race. Many were known to be very deceitful and savage in a way. Wars between the Kree and other races is renownedly frequent and has brought a negative viewpoint upon their culture by other civilizations.
Daisy hated the idea in wanting to go to the planet Hala, for she feared that the Kree would try to keep her prisoner and make into a weapon like Kasius had back on Kegger 24-7. However, Captain Marvel, Thor, Ms. Marvel, Blue Marvel, Jalene, Talos, Councilor Lena Sendak, Matani Tivan, Doctor Strange, Pkzkrfmknna, Irani Rael, Athena Parthenos, Vision, Wanda Maximoff, the Le Pym Couple, and the Guardians of the Galaxy would be among those to attend the peace conference, making sure that the Kree won't break their word. King Blackagar Boltagon and his wife Queen Medusalith Amaquelin were invited as well and would be the only ones to go to Hala with Talos since they didn't want to bring the others along also. Medusalith's adopted human sister Verna also wanted to attend since she was good at negotiating, even though she felt nervous of how the Kree would react about a human being a negotiator.
Daisy Johnson, now the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., really doesn't like to be late for this peace conference. However, while on the way to Hala, the Kree's capital world, Daisy and her team were suddenly ambushed by a ship crewed by Sakaaran Mercenaries, who probably worked for Mad Titan Thanos Rex during his reign in trying to bring balance to the Multiverse by eliminating 50% of life. Daisy and her team quickly take action in keeping the ship active and try to get off their tale.
"Don't worry, we're going to be butterflies," Imogen murmured to herself.
"What is their problem?!" Agent Simmons exclaimed while trying to fix up the Jump Drive.
"These are Sakaarans, Jemma," Deke described what they do. "Sakaarans! Its what they are. Soldiers, assassins, scavengers, or mercenaries, whatever they do, they just do it for loyalty or money."
"And what planet do they come from exactly?" Agent Baines asked, helping Davis stir the ship.
"Uh, Sakaar, I would calculate," Deke assumed. "Though I may not be right, but it is for a fact."
"Well this is second time they try to hit us!" Agent Davis shouted while flying the Quake across space and started to panic. "Director, any suggestions?!"
"FitzSimmons, fire up the Jump Drive!" Director Johnson shouter. "Its now or never!"
"What... now?!" Agent Fitz gasped in pure confusion.
"Fitz, c'mon, let's do this!" Agent Simmons shouted.
Fitz tried to say something. "But we haven't..."
"Just do it!" Director Johnson exclaimed.
Without hesitating, Agents Fitz and Simmons quickly set the coordinates to an unknown location and prepare the jump drive within this ship to go through hyperspace at once in order to get away from the enemy. Within seconds, FitzSimmons managed to activate the jump drive and the Quake safely goes through hyperspace, and after more than twenty minutes the most, the ship emerged from hyperspace up in a different solar system and sets orbit over a massive planet. The planet was beautiful to look at and the team can see that it was covered with continents of green and blue oceans. Agents Davis and Baine keep the ship in orbit over the planet.
"Are we here?" Imogen asked, staring at the view of the planet.
"Is this Hala?" Deke asked.
"Don't know," Agent Davis answered, checking the scans on the planet. "The scans aren't reading it. No name. Whatever this planet or this solar system we're at, it has no name."
"Maybe we made a wrong turn," Agent Baines assumed.
"Let me check the map," Agent Davis suggested and checks the map of the galaxy. "Pretty sure it'll tell us where we are."
"What does it say?" Agent Baines asked.
"We're still miles away from Hala," Agent Davis answered.
"Well if this isn't Hala, then we need to make the jump again," Director Johnson said as she walked over between them.
"I don't know if that's gonna happen, director," Agent Davis said, checking the scans of the ship. "A few parts of our ship are damaged due to the attack. The fuel to the Jump Drive is leaking."
"D**n," Agent Baines breathed.
"Great, now we're stranded," Deke wearily sighed. "Nice job Fitz."
"Nice job... nice job!" Agent Fitz screamed, like he was already in fury. "You all told me and Jemma to activate the Jump Drive! I was going to tell you that the coordinates weren't set yet, so I needed a little more time to get it ready!"
"Its not your fault Fitz," Director Johnson said.
"Oh thank you," Agent Fitz responded in sarcasm. "Here's an idea so solve all our problems. Why don't we go down there and see if we find a place for our ship to be repaired."
"Hey great idea," Deke hastily exclaimed in approval to the idea when he snapped his fingers. "That was sarcasm alright, and the good news is, I have enough space tokens to pay for the damage and to buy the best fuel there is to power up the jump drive." He gives Daisy a grin. "There, problem solved, director. So..." He claps his hands two times. "... what are your orders?"
Daisy was a bit hesitant at first, for she knew that she and her team couldn't be late to attend the peace conference. Since Agent Davis already informed that this world and solar system was unknown, she didn't like the idea in wanting to go to a world that could be uncivilized and worse, there can be no places for their ship to be repaired. However, since their ship was desperate need of repair.
"Agent Davis, how much power do we have?" Director Johnson asked.
"We still have enough, but our ship has suffered a lot of damage," Agent Davis reported what of he knows of the ship's status. "My guess is if we stay here for too long, then the Quake will lose power. We should probably land as soon as possible."
"And worse will be trapped in the void... as butterflies, right?" Imogen asked.
"Daisy, you are the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., what are your orders?" Jemma asked.
Director Johnson sighed and let out a response. "Agent Davis, find a good spot to land the ship on the planet."
"Copy that," Agent Davis complied to her orders.
"Right ahead of you," Agent Baines complied also.
Director Johnson turns to FitzSimons and says, "FitzSimmons, with enough power, patch me through to Captain Marvel."
"Patching through," Agent Simmons complied to her friend's orders, and with her husband's help, they managed to get through with Captain Marvel from Hala. Seconds pass, a hologram of Captain Marvel appears in front of Director Johnson.
"Captain Marvel, I need to inform you that my team and I going to be late," Director Johnson said.
"Daisy no, you need to set a course back to Earth at once," Captain Marvel warned with a worried and urgent look on her face.
"Why, what's going on?" Director Johnson asked, confused.
"Hala is under attack," Captain Marvel informed. "The peace conference won't be happening."
"Attack?" Agent Simmons responded with a surprised look on her face. "By whom?"
"Sakaarans," Captain Marvel answered. "Thousands of them. Honestly, we don't know why they'd be invading the planet like this, but were holding them back as long as we they can. I'm sorry about this Director, but you and your team need to get yourselves out of there at once and return to Earth right now. That's an order, okay?"
"I'm afraid that's out of line, we were attacked too," Director Johnson informed her that she and he team were attacked too by Sakaarans. "Our ship is badly damaged and we're about to make a landing on a planet in search for a place of repair."
"Which planet is it?" Captain Marvel asked.
"W-We don't know that, captain," Agent Simmons answered. "We don't know what its called. It has no name in our charts."
"So I guess your coming to a planet that no one has ever been to?" Captain Marvel stated and then gave Director Johnson a warning. "You need to be careful, Director. Offworlders, who haven't been to planets that have no names, have no idea whether its safe or unsafe. Some prefer to take the risk, so tell me director, are you willing to take that risk?"
"The power in this ship might run out soon, so that's why we're taking that risk," Director Johnson said. "We should land immediately and see if we're lucky to enough to find anyone that can help us."
"I'll have Talos pinpoint your location immediately," Captain Marvel said. "If you can't find anyone that can help you, then will be here as soon as possible. Understood?"
"Copy that," Director Johnson complied by giving her a nod.
"Good luck," Captain Marvel said and the call is cut off immediately.
"Something doesn't add up, why would Sakaarans want to be interfering a peace conference on Hala like that?" Agent Simmons asked, who was starting to feel a bit suspicious.
"Well let me tell you this, many of these guys work as mercenaries," Deke said.
"And what are you trying to get at?" Agent Fitz asked.
"What I'm saying is, these mercenaries were hired by someone," Deke answered his question. "Whoever this someone is, maybe wanted some leverage with the Kree."
"Well, whatever happened, we need to dread with caution," Director Johnson said. "If what Captain Marvel says is true, then we might end up in the Lion's Den." She turns her head a bit. "Agent Davis, set the ship under camouflage mode."
"Right," Agent Davis complied.
Within seconds, every part of the Quake was made invisible while they were flying through the clouds. Agents Davis and Baines were the first ones to notice the lands down below and couldn't imagine how lovely they were. In the center of the ship, Daisy, Deke, Imogen, Fitz, and Jemma used a holographic map as to where they currently are now.
"Okay, this where we are now, so will be heading directly towards the mountains," Director Johnson said as she looks at the map. "Perhaps there, we might find a good spot to settle and hopefully if there's inhabitant that can help us." She turns to Jemma and asks. "Jemma, is the beacon on?"
"100%, ready," Agent Simmons replied with a grin.
"Hope we have enough time to land cause right now, we're barely have enough power to go on," Deke said, staring at the map. "No far, no sign of any..." He pauses for a moment until he was the first to notice something appear in the map. "Hey guys, I think we're in luck."
"What?" Director Johnson asked.
Deke happily points at a location. "Its something big. Its a city, surrounded by a very huge valley."
"Well it looks like our luck has turned the tables," Agent Simmons sounded a bit thrilled by the news. "We find the people that can help us and then we can go home."
Suddenly, the alarm goes off. This was the sound of trouble that began to alarm the S.H.I.E.L.D. crew of the Quake. Daisy rushes over to Davis and Baines that were busy stirring the ship.
"What's going on?" Director Johnson asked.
"I don't know, our scans indicate an armed missile was just launched from the sky and its heading straight towards us!" Agent Davis warned his director with a loud panic.
"That's not possible," Agent Fitz panicked in confusion. "We put our ship in camoflauge mode. Unless..."
"Unless if we might've been wandering into someone's territory," Agent Simmons stated. "Its possible they might've detected our ship."
"Maybe they launched it because they think we're enemies," Agent Fitz guessed too.
"Well, I don't think we might live to tell them that!" Agent Baines raised her voice a bit while helping Agent Davis. "Its coming in hot!"
"Okay, so our peace conference was canceled, we end up in an unknown planet, coming through someone's territory, about to get ourselves blown to pieces, and I just gave 5% of my company's property for the experience!" Deke started to roar in fury.
"Just shut up and get the escape pod ready, now!" Director Johnson shouted back, in which Deke complied to her orders. Then, the director turns around to face Agent Fitz. "Fitz, how much power can you give me to send a distress call."
"Bout 50%," Agent Fitz answered, confused. "Why?"
The missile was moving at top speed like the wind. The Quake suffered a lot of damage and neither Agents Davis and Baines could try and get the ship away in time. Once it reaches its destination, the Quake is destroyed, causing a very huge explosion which decimated every part of the ship. However, just in the nick of time, Daisy Johnson and her team had all managed to get themselves inside an escape pod, which popped out from under the ship just before it was destroyed, and then prepares to land directly downwards into the forest below.
"Ugh, Fitz!" Agent Simmons grunted.
"Jemma," Agent Fitz responded in a very weak tone, as if he wasn't feeling that great since the escape pod was falling down fast.
"Brace yourselves!" Director Johnson shouted.
Daisy and her team keep themselves strapped and protected once the escape pod reaches the surface. However, the landing was very heavy, and everyone inside the escape pod was knocked out from the impact.
In the city of Rivendell, Bobbi and Hunter were fast asleep on their own bed they were on. It was very soft, for its like they were sleeping on a cloud. That was when Artemis comes unexpectedly and tosses the two guns which land directly on both Bobbi and Hunter's chests, causing them to wake up in a gasp.
"The hell?!" Bobbi snapped.
"What's the idea waking us up?!" Hunter exclaimed, demanding a specific answer as to why she would come in to wake him and his lover up.
"Best you lower your tone, hunting man," Artemis calmly warned. "Yelling is not my kind of style."
"Okay, its Hunter by the way," Hunter corrected her. "Lance Hunter. Can you remember that?"
"What do you want from us?" Bobbi asked.
"Get up, both of you, I'll tell you on the way," Artemis promised to answer her question.
Bobbi and Hunter took their time to get dressed and make their bed at once rarther than letting the servants do it. After they finish, they load up their guns and walk out the door where Artemis was waiting. As they walked through the hallway, Artemis managed to answer their question about an explosion she had just seen about an hour ago.
"Explosion?" Hunter responded.
"Not to far from the city," Artemis explained of what she knows. "I was scouting a few miles away until I saw something that was flying..."
"What did you see?" Bobbi asked.
"A space ship, probably?" Hunter asked, making a guess.
"It was camouflaged," Artemis answered. "I didn't get a good look at it, but that was when I saw something else. It was flying at top speed, something that I haven't seen before... and then boom."
"Boom?" Hunter asked, confused.
"Fire and smoke," Artemis specifically added. "Everything obliterated."
"But that's not all, you must've woke us up because you saw something else, right?" Bobbi wondered if that is the case.
"That is why I woke you, Hunter, Shannon, Strider, and Lincoln up for this," Artemis answered. "Natasha included. We're going to investigate, so unless if you don't want to come, I'll find someone else who can."
"No, no, will go, but just to be clear, you and I, don't ever walk into our room like that and wake us up," Hunter warned.
"Otherwise he be really pissed if something like that ever happened," Bobbi warned.
"Then what were you dreaming about when I woke you?" Artemis began to wonder with a smile.
"Okay, let's try and focus on the mission please," Bobbi decided to ignore that and get on with what she and Hunter had to do.
"That's what I thought," Artemis grinned.
Outside the city of Rivendell, Artemis, Strider, Bobbi Morse, Lance Hunter, Shannon Lawrence, Lincoln Campbell, and Natasha Romanoff had been walking for about an hour across the forest. The seven companions knew they were getting closer to where the escape pod was. Once they find it, they'll find out if anyone was in there and then destroy all traces of it to keep it from being from being found by others, which is part Artemis' mission.
"How far are we going?" Hunter asked.
"As far as we go, will find out exactly what it is," Natasha Romanoff answered. "Your welcome to turn back if you want. Neither I nor Artemis would care if you plan to desert us."
"Who says anything about deserting?!" Hunter gasped. "I haven't even done one bloody thing!"
"Let it go, Hunter," Bobbi said. "She's kidding."
"Don't care really if she's joking," Hunter spat.
"Does the man you love always react like this?" Strider whispered to Bobbi without Hunter hearing.
"Oh Hunter always gets like that all the time," Bobbi whispered back to him. "Don't tell him I said it."
"You have my word, my lady," Strider swore in a whisper.
Lincoln walks next to Natasha and says. "So, I see people call you the Black Widow. I know I never had a chance to mention all of this to you when we first met during our travel to Rivendell. You're an Avengers, aren't you?"
"Nice for you to ask, and I know you who are," Natasha said. "As I recall, I was one of the very best Avengers that volunteered to track you down in the U.S years ago. You were wanted by the authorities. They said you were dangerous, but I didn't think that was true. You can generate or summon electricity. Are you like a Human who is enhanced?"
"I would prefer the term 'Inhuman'," Lincoln answered.
"Yeah, I've read a lot of reports of Inhumans that lived on Earth," Natasha Romanoff remembered what she did before she became the team leader of the Avengers since the Infinity War. "People say all the time that this is like a disease that came from the oceans. Tell me, how is it that one like you would end up here like I have?"
"Well, its kinda of uh, long story," Lincoln said.
"Save it for later if you want," Natasha dismissed. "Focus on the mission."
"Yes ma'am," Lincoln sighed.
"We're getting close," Artemis sniffed through the air. "We find it and destroy all evidence of its existence. We cannot let anyone uncover this."
"Best we stay back and let Artemis go in first," Natasha Romanoff suggested.
"We also need to watch out," Artemis warned. "Orcs can patrol these part of the lands."
"I thought they didn't," Lincoln responded in confusion.
"Be mindful Lincoln, but these creatures never like to wander in the daytime and they can choose to do so when they catch a scent of man-flesh," Strider described what Orcs can do.
"Don't forget the Sakaarans," Natasha Romanoff added. "I hear these guys pay their homage to 'You Know Who' and they like to hunt too, no matter where they like to go to."
"Sounds like you really know everything on this world Natasha," Bobbi grinned.
"Its my job to know everything," Natasha Romanoff smirked.
Artemis raises her hand up, signaling the group to make a sudden halt and hide behind the trees. While everyone readies their weapons in defense, Artemis slowly walks towards an escape pod, which was almost buried under the soil within the forest. Smoke was around, and the fire seems to have dissipated since the impact.
"Looks Artemis was right, it is an escape pod, but of what kind?" Shannon asked, catching a glimpse of the escape pod.
"C'mon, let's check it out," Lincoln decided.
"Must everyone has to rush," Hunter whispered very sharply. "Its could be a trap." His efforts to stop the group from going gave him a complete deep sigh. "Oh bloodly hell." Then, he leaves his hiding spot and runs in last.
"Shannon! Hunter! Natasha!" Bobbi called. "I think you may need to see this!"
"What is it?" Shannon asked.
Bobbi looks at something that was very familiar. What she was looking at was a symbol of an eagle surrounded by stars. It was symbol of the agency S.H.I.E.L.D., an agency that operated on Earth for decades since the end of World War II.
"Is that what I think it is?" Hunter asked, taking glance of the symbol.
"Its an escape pod that belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D.," Bobbi gasped, like she was relief.
"But how's that possible?" Natasha asked, confused as to why it was here. "For the last few years since the Snap and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s third incarnation, no one in this agency has ever uncovered the whereabouts of this planet."
"Well whatever happened, they must've ended up here for a reason," Hunter stated as he started to gain a sense of excitement since he believed that there might be a chance to get back home to Earth after all.
"Not for a reason, but I think by accident," Natasha assumed if that was the case.
"Well, if any S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is alive and they might have something useful, then it could even the odds in getting us back home to Earth," Bobbi hopefully believed.
"Well, we didn't come all this way for nothing," Hunter said and turns to give Artemis a thumbs up. "Thanks you very much."
"For what?" Artemis asked, concerned as to why Hunter would say that to her.
"For giving us a sign of hope," Hunter continued to thank her, but in sarcasm.
"You're welcome... Hunter," Artemis said and focused on the door to the escape pod. "Let's get this open. See if anyone is still breathing."
Hunter leans in to Bobbi and whispers confidentially, but loud enough for Artemis to hear. "I like it when she thinks."
Artemis uses the might of her Olympian strength to rip the door open, like she's slicing a piece of cheese. She was the first to enter the escape pod and began to notice Director Daisy Johnson, Deke Shaw, Imogen Snow, Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz, Michael Davis, and Piper Baines, who were all unconscious and none of them had ever awoke since the crash. Artemis crawls over to Daisy first and checks on her. Placing her hand around her neck, she smiled in relief that she felt that the young Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was still breathing like the others were.
The next day, as light from the east was touching slowly across the city of Rivendell, Daisy was still lying back with her eyes closed. As the birds outside her room were chirping and singing, Daisy wakes up and discovers that she was lying in bed. She slowly gets up and looks around in confusion as to how she got here. The last thing she remembered that she and her team managed to board an escape pod, but the impact knocked her out. Its possible that she and her team were found by inhabitants and brought them to their city to recover. She looks around, but then suddenly, she began to notice someone that had been watching her all the time. It was Lincoln. As her eyes are wide, her mouth is open in shock and it looks like she's just seen a ghost.
"Lincoln," Daisy gasped.
"Daisy," Lincoln whispered with a bright smile on his face.
Daisy gets out of bed, wearing a white elvish gown that the elves of Rivendell gave to her. At first, Lincoln thought Daisy was going to slap him since she thought he was dead at the time when he sacrificed his life to kill Hive and save all of humanity from being turned into Primitives. Instead of slapping him in the left or right side of Lincoln's face, she holds up his face in an emotional sight and starts to smile tearfully. The two stare at each other for seconds and then they gently kiss each other.
Hiya folks, I'm sorry it took so long for this chapter to be made. Ever since this crazy COVID-19, I started to forget about writing on Fanfiction and I've been stuck with a lot of ideas on how to make this chapter. But finally, its done. I hope you'll like the ending of this chapter where Daisy Johnson and Lincoln Campbell reunite at last.
