Hey everyone. Back with another chapter.
This chapter will involve a battle against the forces of HYDRA and surprise characters and revelations.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed or favirouted this fic so far.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters and elements you see in this fic. I only own Jason Stark and any other OC's and worlds you see in this fic.
On with the show.
ButtonPusherExtraordinare: Thanks for the review. No problem. I understand that life often comes first.
Power of Magic: Thanks for the review. Glad you liked the fight scene and the kiss. HYDRA wont get there asses kicked just yet and you'll see why in this chapter.
SupergodzillaSailorCosmos: Thanks for the review. Rebecca and Narya might become a couple but not sure as I have several other characters in mind.
AntBoy1: Thanks for the review. Yes that does sound like Arrowverse Lex. Yes he is a grown up man baby. Yes he is a good character though. The only version of Lex Luthor I didn't like was the DCEU version as he is a clown and an embarrassment of a villain.
OmniUIShaggyOverexagerated: Thanks for the review. XD! That sounds hilarious. And yes I do plan for an SCP-1000 Vs SCP-2317-K fight.
Rebecca's POV.
Turns out, storming the HYDRA fortress was not a good idea at all.
When we got into the place, there were two dozen HYDRA soldiers who started firing on us imiadetley.
The Rescue armour formed over me as I flew into battle, firing repulsor blasts.
Lex fired off beams of energy from his hands and Doreen flipped, smacking HYDRA soldiers off there feet.
I shot two soldiers down with my repulsers, before firing a missile that blew up one pillar on the temple.
Lex fought against several HYDRA solders at once, firing off his powers.
"Yeah! If anybody's gonna take over the world, its gonna be me!" Lex yelled and took down two others.
Tippytoe was even in the middle of the fight, scratching and clawing eyes out.
Doreen used her bushy tail to smack two agents down.
I landed and kicked one HYDRA soldier own, and killed another with a rocket blast.
My suit tanked bullets that were fired at me, and I flew up to dodge a railgun blast.
Lex flipped and took down another.
Doreen dodged another hit and replied by punching him down.
I fired my unibeam at the railgun, destroying it.
"Boss, there are several people coming out of the temple" VERONICA warned.
I frowned in confusion and looked around, to see that all the HYDRA agents were down.
Then 8 people moved from out of the shadow and stepped into the plaza.
The first was a man dressed in a green suit of amour and looked like a goblin.
The second was a bald headed man who began turning green like the Hulk.
The third was a tall man clad in a dark suit of silver armour beneath red boots.
The fourth was a red haired woman with a pretty face who held a pistol in her hand. She looked at me with something close to sympathy.
The fifth was an Asian man dressed in regal robes and held 10 rings on his hands.
The sixth was a dark haired woman who gave me a look of pity. She held some sort of large collar on her neck.
The seventh was a man dressed in a similar attire to the dark haired woman except he looked at me with a glare. He also didn't wear any collar on him.
And the eighth was a man who made me pale as he looked exactly like Loki, except his attire was different.
"Who the hell are you guys?" Lex demanded.
"I am the Green Goblin" the first man said.
I recognized that voice as my eyes widened.
"You're Norman Osborn!" I exclaimed.
"Oh look, you figured it out" Osborn clapped and said sarcastically.
"I am Samuel Sterns. Call me the Leader" the bald headed man said as he stepped forward.
"I am the High Evolutionary" the silver clad man said in a deep voice.
"I am Sinthea Schmidt. Call me Sin" the red haired woman said as she drew a pistol, looking at me with a tight smile, as if she didn't want to be there.
"The real Mandarin" the Asian man said with a sweep of his robes.
"I thought we dealt with the Mandarin" I asked in confusion.
The Mandarin glared at me.
"He was an insolent, pathetic fool" he snarled.
"I am General Astra of Krypton" the dark haired woman said, and then winced as if in pain.
Lex's eyes widened at that and so did mine as he did explain that Superman was from Krypton.
If we were fighting a Kryptonian, we were screwed, badly!
"I am General Non, also of Krypton" the man next to her said.
Oh dear god.
"And of course, I am Loki, the rightful ruler of Asgard" the new Loki said.
"Oh dear god, now there's two of them" I groaned.
"Oh dear, I am not even from this universe" Loki grinned.
"Yeah I figured that much" I replied sarcastically.
"We are the Masters of Evil" the Mandarin declared.
Cool name.
"Yeah, but if anyone's gonna take over the universe, it sure as hell aint you" Lex declared and charged at the Masters of Evil.
I groaned and flew at them along with Doreen.
We split up to fight them; I fought Astra, Non and Loki simultansuly while Lex engaged Osborn, Sterns and High Evolutionary.
Doreen fought Sinthea and the Mandarin.
I dodged a blast of heat vision from Astra and elbowed Non in the face.
Non barely flinched and hit me with Heat Vision, charring some of my armour and sending me flying into a wall.
Lex fired off two blasts at Sterns who dodged while Osborn hammered a blow into his side.
Lex grunted and fell to one knee which allowed High Evolutionary to kick him backwards.
Doreen flipped to avoid a gunshot fired by Sinthea while the Mandarin used his rings to throw several chunks of rock at Doreen.
I dodged a blast of heat vision from Non and my suit was penetrated by Loki.
"Go away!" I growled and head-butted Loki backwards.
Astra flew and tackled me into a wall, punching me twice in the face, denting the face helmet.
"I'm sorry" Astra said remorsefully which confused me.
She then grabbed me and threw me into the middle of the plaza.
Lex shot Osborn back and flipped to avoid a blast of energy from High Evolutionary.
Doreen jumped and kicked Sinthea back and dodged a blast of energy from the Mandarin.
Sinthea got back up and kicked Doreen in the head and she went flying.
I was punched by Non across the plaza.
"Wanna switch?" Doreen asked.
"Yes!" I said and we switched opponents.
I fired a repulsor blast at Sinthea who flipped while the Mandarin kicked me down.
I flew back up and shot at Sinthea who fired several bullets that deflected off my armour.
I was totally unprepared for when Non rammed into me at full speed, sending me crashing to the other side of the plaza.
Lex fired two blasts that sent Osborn flying across the plaza, where he was knocked out.
Sterns punched him across the face, causing blood to fly from his mouth.
Doreen flipped to dodge Astra's punch only to get smacked by Loki, and she was knocked out instantly.
I got back up and charged at Non who smirked and grabbed me, kicking me towards the ground, where I swore I felt several bones crack.
I groaned and coughed.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lex trying to fight High Evolutionary but he was clearly weakened and he was knocked out as well.
I tried to get up and saw Non and the Mandarin walk up to me.
"You 3 will never get out of this place" the Mandarin said.
Non smirked and punched me out.
When I woke up, I was in a dark prison.
Lex was already awake, but Doreen was nowhere to be seen.
"You okay?" Lex asked me.
I nodded, my head still pounding.
"Where's Doreen?" I asked.
"She was dragged from here about 5 minutes ago. Probably for torture or something" Lex said.
I paled.
Oh this was bad.
I sighed and leaned back against the wall.
"Cant you use your powers to escape?" I asked him.
Lex just stared at me like I was dumb.
"If I did have my powers, don't you think we'd be out of here?" Lex asked sarcastically.
I glared at him.
I closed my eyes, feeling more exhausted than I had in been in months.
When I opened my eyes again, Doreen was in our cell.
She looked battered and injured.
She had a split lip and both her eyes were bruised.
"Holy shit" I breathed out.
"Yeah welcome to the joy zone" a new voice spoke.
I growled and balled my fists, ready for a fight while Lex also stood up.
"Who are you?" I growled.
"Relax, I'm a friend" the voice spoke again.
A blonde haired man in a brown leather jacket emerged from the shadows with a pair of glasses on his face and a smile.
"So nice to finally have company in this place" the man grinned.
"Who are you?" I repeated although I had a vague idea.
"The name's Clint Barton, codename is Hawkeye" the man spoke confidently.
My jaw dropped at that.
"And you're Rebecca Potts-Stark, I know. There's a version of you on my Earth" the new Clint said.
This Multiverse was crazy as hell.
"I don't know you two though" Clint frowned in confusion.
"Lex Luthor of Earth-38" Lex introduced himself.
"And this is Doreen Green codename Squirrel Girl" I introduced Doreen who looked near dead.
Unfortunately, there was nothing we could do.
"Ah okay that makes sense" Clint clicked his fingers.
"How long have you been here for?" I asked him.
"Don't know. I'd say about 3 weeks" Clint shrugged.
Holy shit okay.
"I have something that can slow down the injuries in young Doreen's body" Clint said and took out a vial of some purple liquid.
He gently opened Doreen's mouth and poured a single drop in it.
"Give it about an hour and she should be fine" Clint said and I sighed in relief.
"Thanks" I said gratefully.
"No problem" Clint replied with a smile.
We all sat back down.
After about five minutes we all began talking.
Clint told me about his Earth's version of the Avengers, which were slightly different as for example Janet Van Dyne was still alive and was the superhero known as the Wasp.
He also told us about Loki, Ultron, the Skrulls and his Earth's version of HYDRA.
Seems that HYDRA are a bunch of assholes no matter what Earth there on.
He also said that there were two other superhero teams; the X-Men and the Fantastic Four.
I was surprised to hear that Reed Richards was a superhero.
He didn't strike me as the superhero type.
But this was the Multiverse after all, anything was possible.
Clint then took out some sort of dusty book from the ground and opened it.
"What's that?" I asked.
"The Book of the Daevite's. It tells about the Scarlet King on Earth-2008" Clint explained in a sombre voice.
My eyes widened as I remembered the Scarlet King.
"What does it say?" I enquired as Lex also leaned forward as well.
Doreen was asleep and some of her wounds had started closing up.
"In the beginning, after the fall of the Yeren and before the Great Flood, there were two trees planted by the Goddess-Mother herself. There were two gods, Nahash and Hakhama, her children who were set to guard the Trees" Clint read.
This sounded fascinating.
"In the East, the Scarlet King rose from the ashes of his hellish realms to destroy Creation. He battled both Azathoth and Chaos King and although he overpowered Azathoth, he was incapable of defeating Chaos King" Clint read.
Oh shit.
Jason had told me about Azathoth so anyone who could defeat him was not someone you wanted to piss off.
"The Goddess-Mother elected a champion to go fight him and the Deviates. His name was Olorin, but he now goes by the name Gandalf. For 33 years, he fought his forces but was forced to retreat back to the City of the Gods. The Scarlet King and his forces marched and destroyed the two Trees, killing Hakhama and forcing Nahash to flee into the Wanderers Library at the centre of all dimensions and there are 196,884 observable dimensions" Clint explained.
Oh dear god, that was a lot of dimensions.
And these were just observable dimensions. That didn't even count any dimensions beyond those.
"The Scarlet King declared war against his mother the Goddess-Mother, Nalia her name was" Clint read.
Nalia that was a cute name.
"She forced him back and trapped him within his own hellish realms until a time when the war would no longer have to be fought in secret" Clint continued.
"Nalia then created a Great Flood that wiped the world clean. She then vowed to save anyone who had committed sin and lost there way" Clint finished.
This was bloody intense.
"What can wash away my sin?" Lex asked.
And Clint replied in a completely serious tone.
"Nothing but the blood of Nalia".
And Chapter 24 is done. I hope you all enjoyed it.
So to discuss the major things of this chapter…
Eagle-eyed readers may have seen this one coming. With the DC Animated Universe added, it was only a matter of time before 'The Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes!' Joined the Multiverse.
I also hope I kept EMH Loki and Clint in character.
And while the MCU is amazing and phenomenal, EMH captured the spirit of the comics better and its sad the show ended and was replaced by the much more inferior 'Assemble' which tried too hard to be like the MCU and failed miserably at that while not amounting to much good either.
And now my version of the Masters of Evil are here. Obviously, picture Astra and Non being played by Laura Benanti and Chris Vance, same as in the Arrowverse. And EMH Loki is voiced by Graham McTavish same as in the show.
But here are my casting choices for the other Masters of Evil.
Matthew McConaughey as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin.
Mark Strong as Samuel Sterns/Leader.
Liam Neeson as Herbert Edgar Wyndham/High Evolutionary.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai as the real Mandarin.
Emma Stone as Sinthea Schmidt/Sin.
Now you know some more about the Scarlet King. And the Yeren are SCP-1000, who will be one of the most important SCP's in this series.
And my final OC is Nalia, the Goddess-Mother. You will meet her soon.
Also, for those who don't know who Azathoth is, he is a Lovecraftian deity and is the most powerful. Just shows how powerful the Scarlet King is.
And I hope you like that Gandalf was the one to battle the Scarlet King's forces. Gandalf was always going to be my first choice and this chapter shows the big role he will play in the Final Crisis which will merge DC's 'Final Crisis', Marvel's 'Chaos War' and the SCP Foundation Mythos's 'When We Came Home' storylines together into one.
Now next chapter will involve some more conversations and then an escape, along with two special characters showing up to help.
Until next time, review, follow, faviroute, stay tuned and tell me what you thought of this chapter.
