I really can't handle reviews sometimes.
Not in a bad way, in a good way, in a very good way. Knowing that so many people actually still give a damn about this uncontrolled and utterly bizarre story is honestly a more amazing feeling than I can handle. Owing to the general mood, I'll be sticking to one universe only stuff, though I might end up making a side-story of shorter chapters for that plan just so I can have those in case I get writer's block.
It'd be non-linear, so those chapters wouldn't have a direct connection to what Akari does, and it'd be left vague as to when they happen, that way I don't have to worry about Akari doing something wrong or having something she shouldn't (Though at this point Akari can have anything she wants to whatever =D)
But honestly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for your responses ^.^
Chapter 19
"You know, when I said we should decapitate the government of the Kree and stick their heads on pikes, I didn't expect you to take it so literally."
Akari shrugged. "Going through the Kree Empire itself with an actual fleet would cause a whole hell of a lot of innocent Kree to die, sentient and intelligent beings who are simply forced to believe what they are told because they don't know any better. If you were told from the day you were born that all the other races in the galaxy are scum and the Kree have to do anything and everything to survive in the Universe, then you'd believe it, simply because you don't know anything except that. I may be a bit of a bitch sometimes, but I'm not going to butcher the populace for no reason."
As she spoke, she planted another head onto a spear, having invaded the Kree homeworld and begun the task of hopping around the planet, finding all of the upper echelon Kree, those who knew the truth and still acted like degenerates, then made a simple chop and planted their decapitated heads on spears. She was also using the time to ponder the bizarre decision by the Kree to replace their Supreme Intelligence with a regular Kree Emperor. Maybe they didn't like being ruled by an AI or something, even though said AI ruler seemed to actually be pretty useful to them. "I guess...it just feels like I'm being useless right now I guess. So, what's the plan?"
Akari gave Alaria a look, frowning at her. "Don't say that, you aren't useless boo, I promise. And the plan is to basically just cripple the upper echelons of Kree leadership, those that are unrepentant, know the truth about the galaxy and their Empire and don't care." She responded with a sigh, shaking her hands mostly clean of the sticky blue blood of the Kree. "Those that do give a shit but just can't do anything because of the ingrained positions of others I won't be killing. I'm actually pretty curious about their Emperor, since even though he could have pressed further into the Nova Empire territory, he decided to sue for peace instead, and honestly took far less than he could have, though still enough to placate the hardliners."
Alaria hummed in response, rolling her finger around the rim of a nearby vase then tipping it over casually. "Well, I can't say it isn't a let-down. Though you are definitely taking me out to make up for this. Oh, and we can at least go after Thanos, right? He has that big creepy insect-thing fleet we can fight, the...I don't remember the name of them, but you know, the ones that attacked New York and all that."
"Well, it'd be a shame for me to have trained you so well only for it to go to waste, so yeah, we'll go after the Chitauri after this. As for taking you out, maybe we could go drop in on Tony and the others, I do still need to actually tell them I'm alive and all that." Suitably placated, Alaria gave her a grin, then went back to wrecking things while Akari cut another head off and impaled it. It was petty but still hilarious watching her ambling around tipping over utterly priceless objects simply because it amused her.
With a squelch, she finished jamming the final of three heads onto a spear, taking a step back to admire her handiwork and ignoring Alaria as she crept up behind her and wrapped her arms around her, a chin coming to rest on her shoulder. "You know, normally I think I'd be a bit creeped out by how easy it is to look at those three and not be revolted, but considering how much those three scumbags suck, even when on a universe-scale standard of sucking, I don't think I'd call it overkill if you brought them back to life only to kill them repeatedly. I know I'd want my go at crushing their balls...do Kree actually have balls?"
"Yeah, but that's mainly because of the fact that they are based on humans. I mean, think about how many bipedal beings there are in fiction, with forms very close to human. It's not about feasibility really, it's about the fact that it's easier to have actors play them, rather than using CGI and stuff to make them. Take Star Wars, there are countless near-human species, like the Twi'leks, the Chiss, Zabraks, there are loads of them." Akari explained with a shrug. "And if you ask how I know they have balls I will make everything you eat for the next month taste like coleslaw."
Alaria's jaw clicked shut audibly, and she grumbled something about her being a pervert before tipping another fragile object over, immediately fixing her mood.
"You know, I expected pushback for my actions, but I have to admit, I didn't expect an assassin so soon."
Akari looked at herself, then at Alaria, before refocusing on the Kree that was stood in front of her. "I mean, if we're assassins, we fucking suck at our jobs. And to answer your next question, we're here because I wanted to ask you what you were thinking when you signed that peace deal with the Nova Empire." It was obvious from his expression that the Kree in front of them didn't actually think they were assassins, but he still had a hint of surprise at her question.
"Well, that's a rather simple question, and not one you'd have to invade my home to ask. Any news outlet would tell you that it was because I saw our armies would not be able to sufficiently pressure the Nova Empire in the future, and as such I decided it would be best to consolidate our gains before-" His next words were halted as Akari moved over to him and put a finger over his lips.
"Don't bother touting the party line, I want to know the truth. Sure, the populace might believe that, but I know enough to know that you could have definitely taken a lot more space before running into a defence that could repel those assaults. So, I'll ask again, and if you lie to me, I will not be lenient. Don't forget, we both got into the most secure building on Hala without any alarm or even suspicions of an intrusion." The Kree looked at her for a moment before sighing, his well-defined face wrinkling as he slouched, coming out of his posture casually.
"I want to find a way to restructure the Kree Empire, and the best way to do that is with time. If the Kree Empire eliminates the Nova Empire as a threat, I will have to find another threat for the militarists to chew on. If they don't see a threat, they will start to get irritable and more willing to find a more warmongering leader to rule them. By halting the war as it is, it gives me time. They will accept time to rebuild our forces and prepare for another assault, time I can use to try and change things." As he spoke, he articulated his words with gestures, seemingly getting more enthused about his speaking as Akari showed no hostility.
He even ignored when Alaria got bored and started wandering around, instead focusing all his attention on speaking to Akari. "Of course, public opinion is critical, and changing the mindset of my race from 'everyone else is unworthy of licking the soles of our feet' to 'other races aren't so bad' is a task that will far surpass my lifetime, but I hope to at least get the ball rolling so to speak."
Akari folded her arms, listening to him and only speaking after he had finished explaining his plan. "Okay, I understand your position now. While I can say honestly and without a single speck of guilt that I don't really give a shit, I do think it's nice you're trying to fix your race. And yes, I do mean fix. Slavery is something I cannot abide, and is the reason I already butchered plenty of Kree today. If I find out that you are just a wolf in sheep's clothing, your blood would be decorating the walls within an instant, and there wouldn't be anything solid enough for you to even be given a burial." At first, there was outrage at her words, but that outrage quickly became worry as the Kree Emperor remembered two very important facts.
The first was that Akari and Alaria were in the Emperor's personal chambers, inside the Emperor's Palace, literally the most well-defended location on Hala. The second was that despite being in said chambers now for at least ten minutes as he explained his political stance, not a single thing had been done about it. So, rather than letting himself fly off the handle, he visibly collected himself, almost losing his composure as Akari smirked at him. "So, what do you plan to do?"
"Well, I've already killed all those I could find who pissed me off, slavers, psychopaths and other detestable pieces of shit, so honestly, I'm probably going to go burst Thanos's blue balls with a groin kick, let Alaria over there blast his fleets to bits-" Alaria looked over and gave a finger wave as her name was mentioned, then finished lining up her golf swing and punted several literally priceless objects across the room, using another priceless artifact as her club. "-and then rip a tear in reality and find a new reality to fuck with." The Kree Emperor stared at her for a few moments before pinching his nose and shaking his head.
"Humans truly are an insane species."
"I don't want you to just hate me, I want your very soul to desire nothing but my utter destruction, down to the very dregs of my existence."
Blinking, Akari stopped and turned around, peeking around the doorframe to look at the screen that Alaria was avidly watching. "Okay, that's a line I'm pretty sure I've never heard before. What's it from?" Alaria didn't turn around, she just patted the seat beside her, apparently too engrossed in what she was watching to answer Akari's question. Rolling her eyes, she ambled over, idly creating a clone to go and chat with the Kree Emperor, which was what she was originally heading to do. "Soo...?"
Alaria didn't turn her head even slightly. "It's apparently the Kree equivalent of a Cult Classic, even if it's a bit like WW2 movies made in America. You know, they are always so 'America, fuck yeah' and 'Germany sucks' in everything."Alaria then stopped for a moment, tapping her chin. "You know, now that I'm thinking about WW2, I think I'm gonna watch that Jude Law movie next. He's hot."
Blinking at the abrupt change, Akari snorted. "Oh, so I've got competition from a dead man now? Oh, woe is me, I'll never be able to recover from this mortal wound!" The next moment she grinned as Alaria rolled her eyes and gave her a peck on the cheek before turning back to watching her movie. Reaching over, she tugged her to rest on her shoulder, leaning her own head to rest atop Alaria's. "So, any idea when you want to go mess Thanos up?" Alaria shifted slightly to look at her, and a smile pulled at her lips as she gave Akari another soft kiss.
"Soon...I think I'd prefer meeting the Avengers first though."
Staring down at the scene beneath her, Akari inwardly pondered whether fate really existed.
It had to be some kind of act of providence or deliberate space-time fuckery that when she came back to Earth, it was in time to watch Sokovia, or more specifically the city of Novi Grad, being lifted up by Ultron. "Aren't you going to go and help them?" Akari turned to look at Alaria for a moment before looking back at the ongoing battle and shrugging. "Why not?"
"I don't know. It feels...weird interfering with stuff sometimes. Like, I fucked up the Star Wars galaxy for my own amusement and by now trillions have died because of it. Those scumbag Kree we killed? Their crimes are a drop in the bucket compared to what I caused. So, if I step in and fuck around for no reason now, what am I going to cause in the future?" She said with a sigh, surprised when Alaria wrapped an arm around her.
Opening her mouth, she found it blocked by one of Alaria's fingers, silencing her before she could speak. "Then don't." Akari jolted slightly, turning to look questioningly at Alaria. "You have the power to literally solve every problem in the Universe if you felt like it, but that doesn't make you responsible. Just do what you want to do, the same as everybody else does. If you cause problems, then fine, try to fix them, but don't get wrapped up in it. Say that by saving ten people a hundred people end up dead. So what? What was the name of that soldier who didn't shoot Hitler? Some would say that because of him, World War 2 happened."
She was about to retort, but a firm glare from Alaria kept her quiet. "But Germany was still fucking pissed. World War 2 would almost certainly still have happened. Maybe not as bad, and maybe it would have been longer before it began, but resentment like that doesn't go away, not after what was done to Germany after the war was over. The main reason World War 3 didn't kick off like clockwork was because of the change in tactics after the war, reparations instead of punishments and sanctions."
Akari thought about that for a moment, eventually sighing exaggeratedly and looking down at Novi Grad. "Alright, you don't have to get all philosophical just because you want to see me kick some ass." That got her a smack on the head, making her grin. "I'll go do...I don't know, something. You want to go have a look at that thingie in the church?"
Alaria nodded, prompting her to send her into the church along with a Shadow Clone watching over her just in case, then she went down to the flat ground at the edge of the crater that Novi Grad left to figure out just what the fuck she even wanted to do. Teleporting out all the people still on the husk or nearby would be easy, but did she want to do that? Pondering it for a moment, she eventually grinned, activating her Sharingan and quietly intoning a technique she hadn't used in ages. "Susano'o."
Immediately the air began rippling as her power exploded out, a very loud and very visible corona of energy enveloping her which condensed into her Susano'o. Levels 1, 2 and 3 quickly formed up around her, leaving her hovering in the head of her colossal creation. Less than a fraction of a fraction of a percentile of her energy went into the creation of the colossus, and yet it still stood proud and tall beside the hovering hunk of rock and earth.
Swarms of Ultron Drones began converging on her, and just as quickly lightning and rockets began blasting them to bits. With a glance, she could see that Iron Man and Thor were both trying to keep the drones away from her Susano'o, even if it was an utterly hopeless endeavour. Reaching out, she snatched ahold of the underside of the rock, gouging both her hands deep into the rock and immediately grasping the earth beneath her Susano'o with a formless Jutsu, wrapping tendrils of rock and dirt around herself to give off the impression of anchoring herself.
After a moment, she smirked, pulling the city down just a little, and immediately got blasted by a bunch of attacks from the Ultron Drones as he recognized the threat she posed to his grand plan. For a moment, she considered feigning damages just to keep things interesting, but eventually decided she really couldn't be bothered and simply shrugged off their attacks. "Hey look, it's the return of Snake Eyes."
Surprised, Akari actually slightly let up on her grip, allowing the city to slip out of her grasp a short way. She immediately gripped back on, casting a glance at Stark, the only person who would make a joke at a time like that. "I don't know if that's meant to refer to that period when I was silent, the fact I'm a Kunoichi, or the fact I'm a badass." She said with a grin as he glided up to float in front of her face. "So, how's things?"
"Good, though junior here is having a bit of a teenage rebellion and wants to re-enact the Jurassic Extinction for his school play." That brought a surprised laugh out of her, though this time her surprise didn't mean Novi Grad got any further out of her grasp. "So, not dead then? That's good, makes this whole thing easier for us. I don't think a cracked Earth would be good for business after all."
"Oh Tony, never change. And don't worry, I got this. You guys go and shut down whatever is lifting this up, those attacks aren't enough to break this technique." He seemed hesitant, since he himself knew how powerful the attacks of Ultron Drones really were, but she waved him off with her physical body, not moving her Susano'o. "Go, I'll be fine, and I sent a little help as well as a surprise up there."
With that, she gave Novi Grad another pull, drawing it down a little bit further and bringing even more intensified firepower onto herself. Going with her earlier notion of really not bothering to feign danger, she just entirely ignored the impacts, her Susano'o fueled by more energy than would ever be needed to endure the attacks. "Ahh, the anomaly, Earth's mysterious protector. You know, people really believe you're a hero on the internet, not knowing what you really are."
Raising an eyebrow, she watched as a drone hovered around in front of her face. "Oh? If you're planning to twist words around me and make me all mopey about how you know my true self or some bullshit, by all means, waste your processing power on it. I know what I am, a selfish and arrogant bitch who plays with lives, and to be honest, I'd rather be that than a puppet to a mandate given by the man you've tried and failed to kill repeatedly."
Her first words obviously surprised the AI, who likely didn't expect her to actually comprehend her own failings. And the words that came after absolutely infuriated him if the attacks that suddenly and ferociously battered at her Susano'o were any indication. "I am nobody's puppet!" She raised an eyebrow, prompting the drone to fly at the face of her Susano'o and explode, doing absolutely nothing to her.
"Oh, but you are. You are still following that mandate Tony gave you, to 'preserve life'. Sure, not remotely in the way he intended, but for all you say you have no strings, you really are just a puppet dancing along to the tune of another." Not even remotely bothering to hide her amusement, she watched gleefully as Ultron funnelled countless drones at her in a rage, attacks peppering every part of her Susano'o.
After a moment, she yanked one of her arms out of the rock and swept it to the side, smashing through the veritable cloud of machines and breaking many of them. She then upturned her palm and formed a giant vortex of red lightning, sending arcs out to strike and chain-react through the machine horde, utterly decimating them. During all of this, the horde never stopped attacking her, some diving at her hands, her feet, even blasting the earthen tentacles latched onto her feet and trying to shift her and get her to relinquish her hold on Novi Grad.
Akari gathered up a thin and incredibly dense layer of lightning chakra on the surface of her Susano'o then released it all at once, expelling it outwards as an immeasurably powerful wave of crimson lightning that fried all the drones buzzing around her like flies. With those gnats dealt with, she made a show of shifting a foot back, then pulled downwards, fighting against the propulsion lifting the city up and dragging the entire thing towards the ground again.
Thanks to her actions and the fact that the Avengers were all fighting over the device that was in the church, only a few drones actually showed up, who simply flew around and observed her. Ultron, while a megalomaniac and an arrogant robot, wasn't lacking in intelligence. After losing all those drones for zero gain, he had likely decided she wasn't something he could eliminate.
She was surprised then when a clone was dispersed by the clone she'd sent to the church, whilst at the same time the notable lift being generated to carry the city and hold it together suddenly cut off. With her Sharingan active, she immediately spotted that the entire thing was now fracturing into pieces, no longer being held together by the device. If allowed to continue, the city would literally fall to pieces and probably cause a hell of a lot of deaths.
Rather than allow that to happen, she made a dozen Shadow Clones, all of whom instantly darted out and took up positions under the city, then formed their own Susano'o, hands up as they grasped the underside of Novi Grad, a dozen giants holding up a mountain. As she looked at it, she amused herself with the thought that it was like Atlas, except instead of holding the heavens, they were holding the world itself up.
Then she realized that, if she wanted to, she really could hold the entire world in her hand, and shivered just a little.
"So, who's the girl?"
Staring at Natasha, Akari waited for a beat, then two more, before smirking as Alaria all but melted. "Akari, I know you said that...I mean, sure, we went and saw a bunch of blue people, but...this is really real and that's really freaky and cool." She laughed softly, looking at Alaria's utterly star-struck expression that hadn't faded the entire time they'd been there.
She supposed that after spending a decade fighting and being beaten the shit out of repeatedly, then spending another decade fucking around in a magical world, when she got to the Star Wars universe, while it was fascinating, she didn't really give as much of a shit about meeting fictional characters. Alaria, on the other hand, was her if she was dropped straight into a world she actually knew about.
Of course, she had to explain quickly, since literally everyone there had very confused expressions. Well, aside from Tony, who already knew that they were already in a fictional world, at least from her perspective. "Okay, to get a major issue out of the way right now, let's do something. Everybody who is willing to do so, raise your left arm." Steve, Banner, Wanda, Vision and Thor raised their arms, whilst Natasha, Tony, and Clint didn't. "This proves that you are making your own choices, since you decided to do so or not to do so."
She could tell her words confused them, but her next words definitely were a lot worse. "Where I, and subsequently Alaria, are from, you are all fictional characters like Harry Potter or Anakin Skywalker, both of whom I have personally met. I know that's pretty impossible to believe, but I can quite happily take you there and demonstrate, personally, that it's real. Tony himself can vouch for it, I took him to visit Konoha, which is where I grew up after I died and got reincarnated."
The scepticism was so thick she genuinely felt like if she cut a Kunai through the air there would be tangible resistance. "She's not lying. She even showed me a giant starship, more than a kilometer long, and not a fake hollow version, it was a perfect functional replica at that. When she took me to Konoha, I met people who really do exist as fictional characters here." Tony backed her up, but even his words weren't enough to break that barrier of disbelief that they held. Well, Thor didn't know about Anakin or Harry or any of those characters, so his scepticism wasn't as major, but he obviously also didn't believe her words.
"Look, the best way to show you would be to take you, right?" After a few moments, those who were sceptical looked between themselves and collectively agreed. "Then I'll take you to...Hogwarts? Diagon Alley? Or we could go Star Wars and visit Coruscant or Naboo or Geonosis, I don't know to be honest." She admitted with a shrug, nonchalant in the face of rising disbelief. "The problem is that you can rationalize powers, so doing this-" She created a B-1 Battle Droid beside herself. "-doesn't prove anything, you'll rationalize it somehow, like 'I just created it to fool you' or something to that effect. Seeing a real fictional world is the best way to handle things."
As she spoke, she smiled upon feeling Alaria's head on her shoulder, silently supporting her even as she herself probably wanted to blast the Avengers with questions. "I suppose these things you speak of are like stories, things that were invented by brilliant minds?" Thor piped up, to which she nodded in agreement. "Well, Jane has mentioned wanting to show me this 'Star Wars' you speak of, so perhaps showing us these places will help to convince us."
Shrugging, she waved a hand, and in the next instant, she had pulled everybody present across realities and dropped them all on the landing pad of the home she still owned on Coruscant. her little display of power absolutely stunned all those present, most shocked of whom was Thor, who seemingly couldn't wrap his head around the power she had so casually shown them. "This is Coruscant, and this place right here is my apartment. I haven't visited here in ages and the Jedi definitely searched it when I up and ran off because they wanted to suppress me, but whatever. If they want to find an issue with me I'll just nullify their powers for a while and slap them around a bit."
Absently shrugging, she took Alaria by the hip who laughed and wrapped her own arm around her, and walked off the landing pad and into her apartment, leaving the others to their own devices. She had an invisible clone following each of them, so if they got into trouble they'd be protected, but for now, it was all going to be a big learning experience for them. She was still a bit worried about the Jedi, but only a little.
If they wanted to fuck with her, she'd do a hell of a lot worse than just nullifying their powers.
After letting the Avengers all form their own belief that Akari was telling the truth, she took them back.
Some of them, meaning Black Widow and Hawkeye, expressed the opinions that Akari should consider telling Fury about what she could do, but she was adamant of her stance that she only showed them because it'd make believing easier, and that she was only really doing it so that Alaria could fangasm over them, which she had done repeatedly and heavily already, without them getting confused about exactly why she was so enamoured with them, or knew things about them that she shouldn't.
That sentence definitely made Black Widow uncomfortable, since while Akari didn't explicitly know her past, she did remember reading something about the Red Room and how she couldn't have kids as part of the 'graduation ceremony'. She could have offered to heal her, but honestly, while she liked Natasha, she wasn't that close to her that she'd do that. Tony she'd spent ages with and was happy to help him out, but Natasha wasn't as special unfortunately for her.
Then again, if she ever got together with Banner, maybe not having kids would be a plus, since she didn't seem like the type who would be happy to get pregnant. In the future maybe, but for now Natasha definitely would prefer not being able to get pregnant. But right now she had her hands full with Alaria's full attention. Thinking back to her old life, she had to admit that Natasha was definitely the Avenger she admired most.
She was a badass who wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Rather than flashy lasers or lightning or a fucking bow and arrow, she used guns, and she wasn't afraid to shoot people, rather than Cap who just beat people down. That led her to wondering whether Cap had ever actually killed someone. And, when she thought about it, he probably had. She'd seen a little of the Captain America movies, and recalled a scene where he was walking forwards with his shield and firing a pistol, probably shooting people as he did so.
That honestly put a new spin on him, for her at least. Black Widow was a lot easier to identify as someone willing to kill, but Cap, when she considered it, was just as capable. He just didn't get seen doing it...well, Black Widow also didn't get seen doing it, at least in terms of witnesses. Tony had also killed, he blew up a tank in the first Iron Man after all, and unless that tank was magically unmanned, that meant he had a kill count. Then there were the terrorists that died in Afghanistan, he'd definitely killed people in that cave after all.
Shrugging to herself, she focused in again just in time for Alaria to turn and look at her. "We're going to that shawarma place." It wasn't a question, but Akari still rolled her eyes and nodded, garnering a happy smile from Alaria and confused expressions from the others. "In the movie, it was the actors who played you all who decided to go and have shawarma, and everyone loved it...that sounded better in my head."
Sighing, Akari raised her hand and snapped her fingers, sending the group from their place back in Sokovia to New York, more specifically in an alleyway close to the shawarma place. "Okay, that's cool, casual intercontinental teleportation. Wait a minute, was this how you were able to always get ahead of me?" Tony piped up, staring at her fingers. She shook her head in response.
"No, I recently got stronger, like...a fuckton stronger. What I used was a Hiraishin tag, it was...well, you can look it up actually. I don't know all the techniques that exist obviously, but my main powerset comes from Naruto's world, so you can honestly just look through that list and compare those techniques to my own." Tony seemingly did so, fucking around on his phone as they exited the alleyway.
Not wanting Alaria's moment to be ruined by the public, Akari formed a Genjutsu over each of them which removed the idea of perception from anyone who wanted to observe them. It meant that they literally couldn't be perceived, and that way they'd be able to avoid any of the annoyance that came with fame. They quickly asked her what was going on, as the public were literally walking straight past them and not noticing their presence, even when Cap waved his shield right in front of someone.
"I don't want this to be ruined for Alaria, so I just weaved a bit of trickery." Akari could tell that Scarlet Witch wanted to jump her and ask her a myriad of questions, while Black Widow seemed to be debating whether or not she should be trying to subdue her, call Fury, or just give up and follow along, which seemed to be the answer the eventually arrived at after remembering that Akari had just dragged all of them to a fictional world for a visit on a whim. "Basically, don't bump into anyone and they won't be able to perceive our existences."
When they entered the shawarma shop, she dropped the Genjutsu, allowing all of the nobody present to detect their presence again. Cap went up to the counter to ding the bell, to which the guy who ran the place came out and exchanged pleasantries with him, probably rather surprised that the Avengers, plus a few members, were now back in his place again.
Soon enough they ended up seated down at a few tables being served, and Cap, being the good American boy he was, offered to pay, which somehow ended up with him and Tony getting into a verbal debate about money and how the intent is more important than the quantity. She honestly wasn't that interested, she was much more interested in Vision, who had come along with them and was processing the fact that a fictional world was real, and that he himself was in a fictional world.
It wasn't exactly him she was interested in, it was the Infinity Stone in his forehead. She had made a duplicate which was now in her inventory, and she was honestly curious as to whether it was any less powerful than the one in his head. Deciding it couldn't hurt, she looked at him directly, drawing his attention. "Apologies, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the facts revealed today. Do you want to ask me something perhaps?"
Akari chuckled and nodded. "You're sharp. I...well, that stone in your head...it's special. It's supposed to be unique, one of six of a set in the entire Universe. I recently came into possession of a duplicate and I wanted to see how it fairs compared to the real deal." Her words seemed to surprise Vision, who thoughtfully tapped the stone in his head. "You don't have to feel obligated or anything, I just wanted to know out of pure curiosity, nothing more. I'd just make an identical copy of your body, minus the consciousness of course, then put the stone in and directly puppet it to match you."
"I see...I don't see a problem with that. I believe there is a rather apt term here." She raised an eyebrow at him, to which his lips pulled into a smile. "There is nothing that says that a fake cannot surpass the original." Akari tipped her head for a moment, before she snapped her fingers and laughed, recalling the anime that he was referring to. It was another she had never seen properly, only watching clips and reading about the characters involved, one of whom fascinated her.
"Emiya Shirou, right?" Vision nodded, confirming that for her. "Yeah, he's a pretty fascinating character. Though I doubt a puppet would be able to beat you. Maybe one day we'll find out, though for now, shawarma!" Saying that, she poked a strip of meat and nibbled it, savouring the flavour. As she ate, she idly wondered what kind of place she was going to visit next. Thanos was her target, obviously, and she wasn't going to begrudge Alaria the chance to crush his fleet with her own, but after that, she had to decide whether to stick around or go visit another Universe.
Eventually, she decided she'd just decide when Thanos was lying on the ground with his balls burst.

Title: Animal Tamer - Rank 5 - 100% chance to dissuade creatures from attacking during encounter. Prolonged or repeated exposure allows reputation, rapport as well as affinity to build with any animal. Note - familiars and mind-controlled creatures are exempt from this ability.
Secondary Title: Multi-dimensional Universal Goddess - Your power has reached a realm no mortal has ever, nor was ever, supposed to attain. This is the highest level of deity possible in any Universe, on the level above Universal Entities such as the One Above All, Azathoth and other omnipresent and absolute beings. Your vast and dense power allows you to rewrite reality to be as you will it, though to lesser beings the energy cost of such an act would be utterly exorbitant. To a being such as yourself, it is a mere drop in the bucket of your limitless and regal power.
