Chapter 12.
Hey everyone. Back with another chapter.
This chapter will cover my version of Episode 7, which by the way, is my faviroute episode of Season 1.
Just pretend that the events of Episode 6 happened exactly the way it did in canon.
After this chapter, there will be a major canon divergence that will only pick up again for Episode 10 onwards.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed or favirouted this fic so far.
Disclaimer: I don't own Flash, Avengers, Star Trek or any characters and elements pertaining to the mentioned franchises. I only own Jason Stark and any other OC's and worlds you see in this fic.
On with the show.
Flashraven: Thanks for the review. Let's just say that the Queen Mother has a way of opening people's eyes. Plus I have a very special way to redeem Lex.
OmniarchOnePunchSuperman: Thanks for the review. Actually according to my sources, it is said that the Scarlet King is the most powerful. Actually though, my OC, Nalia, aka Queen Mother will explain how the Scarlet King is the most powerful. The infinite darkness who sent Jason to the future will be the final and ultimate villain in this series. And let me know if you would like any other SCP's to appear.
AntBoy1: Thanks for the review. Glad you liked my casting choices. Actually, my faviroute live-action versions of Superman are in this order: Christopher Reeve/Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill, Smallville Tom Welling and Tyler Hoechilin. No offence taken on Scarlett Johansson as Earth-96 Sara Lance.
Aragorn II Elessar: Thanks for the review. Glad you liked the fight scenes against the Klingons. Poor Jason indeed. Yes that describes Earth-96. Yep on Earth-96 Superman.
Jason's POV.
Following our victory against the Klingons, well a temporary victory that is, we had decided to have a large celebration.
Well I certainly needed it, trust me, working on the spore drive and fighting Klingons all week long certainly made things a truck load more tiring than usual.
So I had joined Snart and Beck who had become my closest friends on this ship, along with Stammets.
As we moved into a large ball room, the party was in full swing as pretty much every person on the ship had been invited.
Thanks to the super-soldier serum in me, I became incapable of getting drunk, which I had found out when I out drank my team-mates on Team Monitor and they had all passed out from too much liquor.
Yeah that was so entertaining, especially watching Morris drink a Whiskey shot and then fall backwards and pass out.
Snart, Beck and I had found our way to where Burnham and Tyler were chatting with a few other Starfleet officers.
"Hey guys" I greeted.
"Hey Jason! Good to see you guys" Tyler greeted with a smile.
Snart just nodded his head while Beck replied with an over-enthusiastic wave, causing me to elbow him in the ribs.
I began mingling with everyone and even took in a few shots, not to get drunk, merely for the taste.
I know, call me a heathen, whatever.
I had a feeling that something was going to go south, very quickly.
I felt someone tapping me on the shoulder and turned around to see that it was Burnham.
"What is it?" I asked, seeing the look on her face.
"The Captain wants you, me, Tyler and Snart to go to the Shuttle Bay. He said there's some type of creature that needs to come onboard" Burnham said.
Another creature? What the heck?
"I'll go find Snart" I told her.
She nodded as I left to go find Snart.
I eventually found him and re-laid the same message to him.
So the four of us departed to the Shuttle Bay to go see whatever the heck this was about.
Looks like I cant get a damn break around here.
But then again, I haven't had a break since 2008, so who am I to judge.
We made it to the Shuttle Bay where there was a ship docking.
"You ready?" I asked around.
I received nods.
The shuttle door opened and something came out.
No, wait it was someone.
The blood instantly drained from my face when I recognized who it was.
It was Harry Mudd.
And he didn't look happy.
He probably still had a grudge against me for punching him in the face and leaving him to die.
"Okay what?" I gaped.
Harry glared at me with something akin to hatred.
"You know this man?" Burnham asked.
"Yeah that's Harry Mudd. Petty criminal. He was on the ship that Tyler, the Captain and I were captured on" I said.
"And you left me to die on that filthy ship" Harry snarled at us.
"What do you want?" I demanded.
"To sell this ship to the Klingons of course" Harry said with a smirk.
"Yeah, buddy hate to inform you but that aint going to happen" Snart said, taking out his Cold Gun and activating it.
"I knew you would say that. Which is why I placed a bomb on me" Harry revealed.
Now all of us paled.
"What?" Burnham asked.
"Yes. Sayonara" Harry smirked and pressed a device in his hand.
"NOOOOO!" I shouted and attempted to stop Harry.
But I was too late.
A fiery explosion erupted and I was instantly thrown back from the blast.
A few moments later, I, Burnham, Snart, Tyler and the rest of the ship were blown up.
And I died.
Yes you heard that one right.
I died.
Now some of you may be thinking, 'Oh Jason, you didn't really die. It just felt like dying'.
No I literally died.
100 percent, D.E.A.D.
I'm not even joking.
When I somehow woke up again, I was at the same party I was it before we went all kaboom.
How I have absolutely no idea.
"Are you okay?" Beck asked when he saw my conflicted expression.
"Yeah, something I ate" I lied.
I felt someone nudge me in the ribs and turned around to face Snart.
"We died right?" Snart asked me.
So he also remembered?
I guess only those who had been the first to get blown up were the ones who remembered.
"What was that?" Snart asked.
I guess only those who had been blown up originally, remember what happened.
"That means that Burnham and Tyler should remember as well" I deduced.
"Yeah, let's ask them" Snart agreed.
We soon found Tyler and Burnham both of whom looked just as shell shocked.
"You remember getting blown up right?" I asked.
They both nodded, looking extremely relieved.
"We need to stop Harry from blowing up the ship or selling it to the Klingons for that matter" I said.
"Yeah, he should be here about now" Tyler agreed.
"Let's go kick his ass" I smirked.
"And hopefully not die this time around" Snart added.
"And that" I agreed.
We made our way to Shuttle Bay where the pod had already landed.
"Get ready" I said.
I drew a knife, Burnham and Tyler drew there phasers and Snart activated his Cold Gun.
"Stop right there! We know you have a bomb" I said to Harry.
"Really? Well that just saves me a whole lot of time" Harry said and clicked the device.
"Oh come on really?" I groaned as I was blown up and killed again.
Once again, I was at the party.
"Okay, let's try this again" I sighed.
Snart came up to me again, looking extremely pissed.
I guess that's what happens when you get blown up twice.
"You good?" I asked him.
"Yeah and very pissed" Snart replied.
"Oh yeah? Get in line" I snorted.
We found Burnham and Tyler and once again, they both remembered what happened.
Before we could come up with a new plan, Stammets approached us.
"You guys are in the time-loop right?" he asked.
"Yeah, how do you even know that?" I asked him.
"The spores allow me to remove myself from the time-loop. We need to figure out how to break the time-loop and stop this Harry from blowing up the ship" Stammets explained.
"How did you know there was a time-loop?" I asked.
"After the second time we got blown up, I found the Shuttle Bay and saw what happened?" Stammets revealed.
"I'm all open to suggestions" Snart said.
"We should get to Engineering. We only have about 10 minutes until he blows the ship up for a third time" Stammets said.
10 minutes?
Are you kidding me?
How the hell could we figure out how to break a time-loop in 10 minutes?
But there was no time to waste so the 3 of us found Burnham and Tyler and we made our way down to Engineering.
"What do we need to do?" Tyler asked as we reached Engineering.
"We need to find the source of the time-loop and hopefully find someway to stop the source before it blows up" Stammets explained.
"And we need to review the ship's data logs to possibly get any indication of what caused it" I realized, catching onto his plan.
Stammets nodded.
"All right, Tyler, you're with me. Snart, please make sure no one tries to kill us" I asked.
"You got it" Snart nodded and activated his Cold Gun.
Going through the data-logs was a pain in the ass as there were so many, I'm not sure at what point I smelled the explosion.
"We're dead now. See you guys again" I said to everyone as the explosion engulfed me.
And for the third time that night, I woke up again at the party.
I didn't even bother talking to anyone, I just found Stammets.
"Let's fix this damn mess" I snarled.
"Yeah, let's grab everyone else" Stammets replied.
We found Snart, Tyler and Burnham and finally found our way down to Engineering.
I began searching through the data logs as fast as I possibly could because if I died one more time, I was going to kill someone.
Tyler came over and we began searching through the data-logs as fast as we could as working together, well we were fast.
I ended up finding several data hacks into our mainframe which was weird as they were supposed to be unhackble.
It was for a full blueprint on the ship.
Harry had obviously been planning this for quite a while.
"Guys, he knows every square inch of this entire ship. Which means that he knows what we're going to do, before we even do it. He probably has a mole too" I told everyone else with dread.
"Oh crap" Stammets replied.
"Jay, Snart, I need you to go figure out how to reverse the data-hack so that we can stop Harry from blowing the ship up" Stammets instructed.
"On it" I replied as Snart and I made it out of Engineering.
I took out one of my pads and began tracking the source.
"The data-hack originated from somewhere down here" I said, pointing to a nearby hallway.
Then I heard the explosion.
"Bloody hell" I cursed and was killed again.
I woke up at the party again.
This time Snart was standing next to me and looked equally as mad.
I guess being killed over and over again, kinda rubs you up the wrong way.
"Let's go" I sighed and grabbed Snart.
Stammets, Burnham and Tyler went down to Engineering while Snart and I went searching for the origin of the hack.
"Found it" I declared, finding a computer panel.
What I found horrified me.
Harry had managed to download 95 percent of the ship's entire schematics.
What the hell?
"Oh this is not good" I said, horrified.
"We need to tell the others now" Snart said, after reading what I found.
We found the others down in Engineering.
"Guys, Harry's downloaded 95 percent of the ship's entire schematics" I told them.
"Damn it" Stammets cursed.
"Yeah we also have much bigger problems to worry about" Snart said as we all died for the fifth fucking time that night.
Once again, I found everyone else and we went down to Engineering.
"I have a new plan. We need to make Harry believe he has won. He'll believe it and the time loop will stop. Don't ask how I know, I just do" Stammets explained.
"Let's kick this guy's ass" I said with determination in my face.
We all made our way down to the Shuttle Bay where Harry was coming out.
"Finally decided to give me the ship?" Harry asked with a smirk.
"Yes actually. You win" I said in my most convincing voice.
"Good work" Harry said.
"The time-loop is broken" Stammets mouthed to me.
I nodded.
"Actually, you lose this time Harry" I smirked.
Harry frowned and I threw a knife which disarmed him of his detonator.
He looked shocked briefly and Snart moved into action, firing an ice beam from his Cold Gun which caused Harry to yell in pain.
I leapt forward and engaged Harry in hand-to-hand combat.
I threw a series of punches that instantly sent Harry to the floor while Snart stood by, ready to fire his Cold Gun if neascary.
Harry groaned and got up, glaring at me.
"Had enough?" I taunted.
Harry pulled out a phaser and prepared to shoot me, but Snart fired an ice-beam that hit Harry in his face, killing him instantly.
I flinched back in slight shock before recovering.
But then imiadetley, I sighed in relief.
At least this was over.
"Bomb's disabled" Stammets called over.
More good news, yay!
At least this bloody thing was now over.
But now, Lorca was acting suspicious when I heard him talking with someone, saying that they needed to get rid of someone on the ship who was a threat to his plans.
I had no idea what was coming.
And with everything that happened and was happening, I wasn't sure I would ever be ready.
But I knew that I would have allies in all this.
And in the end, I would win one final time.
I kept seeing images of a golden city and beautiful goddess walking through the golden halls.
There were multiple moons in the sky and a massive tree at the entre of the city.
Just before I faded from it, I heard her speak.
"Find me Jason Stark" she whispered.
And Chapter 12 is done. I hope you all enjoyed it.
So as you can see, I changed Harry's fate in here so that he is killed since Harry was a scumbag who deserved what came to him.
Poor Jason, Stammets, Burnham, Tyler and Snart. They kept getting killed over and over again.
The goddess is the Queen Mother by the way. She will be important in later chapters.
Now, next chapter will have a major canon divergence that will pick up again in Episode 10. It will also have a major role for the rest of the trilogy.
Until next time, review, follow, faviroute, stay tuned and tell me what you thought of this chapter.
