Chapter IX
Carol walked back to where Battra stood. Next to him, Fury and Maria waited, alongside Dr. Pym, clad in a black and red leather suit.
"They surrender?" Fury asked.
"Ronan doesn't surrender," Carol replied. "He's a zealot. He won't stop until the Kree are victorious."
"Well, they won't be winning today," Maria said confidently. "Right?"
"I hope so."
They turned around to see the Kree warships open their tops. From each of these ships came a different creature.
The middle ship sprouted a creature similar to a bird, but it was mechanized greatly. It's arms had long blades attached to them by the wrists, and it's back had a flexible shell of metal plates. Poking out from the shell were three spiny sails. It landed on the ground with a thud, it's single-toed feet firmly planted in the ground. It's eye visor stared at it's enemies.
The right ship revealed a beast similar to a rhinoceros beetle. It's horn was a spike of metal, and it's forelimbs had a pair of drills attached to them. The rest of the green bug was completely organic.
The left ship unleashed a giant centipede creature. It's tan body was propelled by millions of metal legs. It's red eyes bore no emotion.
"I... remember... these... beasts..." Battra said, catching Carol's attention.
"Who are they?" she asked.
Battra stared at her as he shared his memory with her, the memory of his ancestor, passed down by genetic memory.
Canadian Glacial Plain, 12,780 years ago
Battra flew past the giant bird monster with the grace of a hawk, his bladed arms cutting through it's side with ease. The beast shrieked as it swung it's long talons at Battra, only to miss.
Nearby, Mothra battled with the centipede creature. She repeatedly cut off it's legs with hers and stabbing her stinger into it's body. The centipede screamed in it's feeble attempts to retaliate, as the venom slowly broke down it's nervous system.
The beetle fought with a large spiderlike creature. The spider slammed it's six crablike legs into the beetle's carapace with tremendous force. As it did, the tentacles on it's face wrapped around the beetle's horn, before breaking it off completely.
Battra returned his focus to his own fight with the birdlike creature. He slashed his arms at it's sides before using the razor-sharp edges of his wings to cut it's head off completely. Victory in his grasp, Battra screeched loudly as his red glow reached a crescendo.
Carol returned to her plane of existence, Battra's eyes now focused on something behind him. Carol flew a short distance above him, ignoring the soreness in her body.
Mothra flew above the ground, glowing brightly like the sun. Underneath her, two other creatures stood. One was the same spiderlike creature from Battra's vision, while the other one resembled a giant praying mantis, albeit with an orchid coloration and a crownlike frill on the back of it's head.
"We have friends," Fury noted as Carol returned to the ground. "What did Black Mothra here show you?"
"It's 'Battra,'" Carol corrected. "These monsters that Ronan brought were here before, during the last ice age. They were called Venous,"
She pointed at the centipede.
"Megalon,"
She then pointed at the beetle.
"and Gigan."
