The screen is now pitch black. Moments later, a voice is heard.

Son: Baba?

Father: Yes, my son?

Son: Tell me a story.

Father: Which one?

Son: The story of home.

A meteorite drifts into the frame, heading towards Earth off in the distance.

Father: Millions of years ago, a meteorite made of vibranium, the strongest substance in the universe, struck the continent of Africa, affecting the plant life around it. And when the time of men came, five tribes settled on it and called it tribes lived in constant war with each other until a warrior shaman received a vision from the Panther goddess Bast who led him to the Heart Shaped Herb, a plant that granted him super human strength, speed, and instincts. The warrior became king and the first Black Panther, the protector of Wakanda. Four tribes agreed to live under the King's rule, but the Jabari Tribe isolated themselves in the mountains. The Wakandans used vibranium to develop technology more advanced than any other nation, but as Wakanda thrived the world around it descended further into chaos. To keep vibranium safe, the Wakandans vowed to hide in plain sight, keeping the truth of their power from the outside world.

Son: And we still hide, Baba?

Father: Yes.

Son: Why?


1992

Oakland, night

Somewhere across the street from the complex apartment building a group of boys playing pickup basketball on a milk carton hoop. However, unbeknownst to them, a myserious light appears in the sky above the apartment building.


Complex Apartment, inside

In the room, two men, An African man, who turns out to be N'Jobu sorts through firearms and goes over maps with another man, James. Live news footage of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots plays on the TV.

N'Jobu: Hey look, if we get in and out quick won't be any worries. You in the van come in through from the west, come around the corner, land right here. Me and the twins pulling up right here, we leavin' this car behind, ok? We come this...

Unfortunately, a faint noise is heard.

N'Jobu: Hide the straps.

James quickly moves into action, hiding the guns in the walls as N'Jobu peers out a window, then clears the maps from the table and unrolls a tapestry on the wall, hiding a bulletin board. James cocks a handgun.

James: Is it the Feds?

N'Jobu: No.

A Knock rattles the door. James walks over and looks out of a peep hole, then turns back with a confused expression.

James: It's two Grace Jones-looking chicks... They're holding spears.

N'Jobu: Open it.

James: You serious?

N'Jobu: They won't knock again.

James opens the door and Two Dora Milaje (members of the All Female Wakandan Special Forces) slowly enter carrying vibranium spears. They eye on N'Jobu.

Dora Milaje #1: (in Xhosa) Who are you?

N'Jobu: Prince N'Jobu, son of Azzuri.

Dora Milaje #1: (In Xhosa) Prove to me you are one of us .

N'Jobu grabs his bottom lip and flips it, revealing a vibranium threaded tattoo glowing blue with Wakandan script. The Dora Milaje swiftly slam their spears down in unison, making the sound of an EMP. All electronics in the room instantly die out. The room is now pitch black and then boom, the spears slam the floor again and the lights come back on and reveal a young King T'Chaka, who is in his Black Panther suit standing before them. N'Jobu kneels at the sight of him . He swats James, urging him to do the same.

N'Jobu: (in Xhosa) My King.

Young T'Chaka: (turns to James) Leave us.

N'Jobu: This is James. I trust him with my life. He stays, with your permission, King T'Chaka.

Young T'Chaka: As you wish, at ease.

He takes off his mask before handing it off to the Dora and the women step out into the hall, closing the door behind them.

Young T'Chaka: (in Xhosa) Come, baby brother. (in English) Let me see how you're holding up.

N'Jobu stands while his brother walks up to him and they embrace.

Young T'Chaka: You look strong.

N'Jobu: Glory to Bast. I am in good health. How is home?

Young T'Chaka: (becomes worried) Not so good, baby brother. There has been an attack.

The young king activates a small metal-beaded bracelet that projects a holographic image of an arms dealer, Ulysses Klaue.

Young T'Chaka: This man, Ulysses Klaue, stole a quarter ton of vibraniurn from us and triggered a bomb at the border to escape . Many lives were lost. He knew where we hid the vibranium, and how to strike. He had someone on the inside.

As he waits for the news to come out but his brother does not.

N'Jobu:(concerned) Why are you here?

Young T'Chaka: Because I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me why you betrayed Wakanda.

N'Jobu: I did no such thing.

Young T'Chaka: (in Xhosa) Tell him who are you?

James: Zuri, son of Badu.

N'Jobu: (shocked) What?

As N'Jobu's becomes stunned that James is revealed to be a Young Zuri, a Wakandan spy. Zuri reveals his vibranium lip tattoo. N'Jobu grabs him.

N'Jobu: (livid) James, James you lied to me? I invite you into my home and you were Wakandan this whole time?

Young Zuri: You betrayed Wakanda!

N'Jobu: How could you lie to me like-

Young T'Chaka: (stops the fight) Stand down. Did you think that you were the only spy we sent here?

Young Zuri walks to the wall and removes a duffle bag containing vibranium canisters glowing blue. Showing one to his king.

Young T'Chaka: Prince N'Jobu, you will return home at once, where you face the council and inform them of your crimes.

As he turns to leave to bring the Dora Milaje in the apartment to arrest N'Jobu.


Outside, night

Boy #1: Check up!

His players were chattering before the one in the blue hoodie witness something in the sky above apartment building.

Boy #2: Guard your man, guard your man!

Boy #3: Yo.

The other two boys starting looking up as well. However, it turns out to be an aircraft from Wakanda starts to speed off. The basketball drops from the boy's hands.


This is the reason why vibranium came to Earth, which was the only reason how Captain America's Shield was made from the same stuff. How did Howard Stark find vibranium to create a shield?
