The Hunt
Chapter 19: Crossing the line part 2
The power of the spirits. That is what we call the source of our abilities. We claim power from different aspects of the spiritual world. Lazlo, once took power from the spirits of redemption, but now gains power from the spirits of friendship as the hero Albion. Jack represents and draws on the spirits of time, as well as his natural mutant abilities of super speed. Rick, known as Brute gains power from the wild spirits of integrity and pride. Kyle, once known as Red Falcon gained his power from the benevolent spirits of freedom, but now as Azure Eagle the malevolent spirits of hatred have trapped him. There were other avatars as well that wielded the powers of multiple spirits. The most notable was Hellfire; she was an avatar of the neutral spirit of fire and, the benevolent spirit of kindness as well as the demon of lust, the corrupt form of love.
Sven Reilly had fused his soul with that of Aeon, the protector of this spiritual network and the one that sought to keep humanity from discovering the spirits. As Aeon, Sven draws his power from the hero of the spiritual realm, making him the most powerful avatar of them all. Yet there were spirits from outside the spiritual network that he couldn't control. One, the spirit of Justice once occupied my body, but in time it became corrupt and changed into a spirit of revenge. The day Sven saved Sieg's life and protected him so passionately was the day he created another spirit. Sieg has drawn on the uncontrolled power of that spirit. But now after having his natural mutant abilities restored, Sieg is now capable of controlling the true aspect of the spirit. He now stands like his adopted father as an avatar of the spirits.
Sieg casually jumped off of the building he stood on, letting Crash pummel the empty space. He mockingly saluted the angry man before diving towards the ground. Swinging his arms two times, Sieg created a crystal platform. A crystal sword materialised in Sieg's hand as he landed on the platform. He held his sword and threw crystal dust around his body. A distortion in the dust caught Sieg's attention and he immediately backhanded one of Cortez's manufactured heroes. Grabbing the Gypsy woman by the waist, Sieg jumped off the platform. The woman screamed as she and Sieg crashed to the ground. When the dust settled it revealed a crystal dome on Sieg's back. It had acted as a cushion for himself and the now unconscious Gypsy.
"Very sorry about that," Sieg said as his armour shattered.
He laid the woman out on the floor and applied CPR before moving her into the recovery position. Tyrone crashed into the ground, yelling at Sieg in fury. Arachnophillia and the other Squadron Supreme members followed him shortly after. Sieg walked away from the unconscious Gypsy and crossed his arms at the villains.
"I think I liked your outfit before," Arachnophillia sighed in disappointed.
"Sorry about that, I don't have full control of it yet, sometimes it disappears when I become too relaxed. The fusion of spiritual powers and the mutant gene are complicated things, not even Warp had full control of his super speed," Sieg explained.
"Did you come here to fight or delivering a history lesson?" Tyrone asked.
"I wouldn't bother with you, we all know you've only got interests in trivial things," Sieg dismissed Tyrone and focused on Arachnophillia. "There's something I wanted to know, before I fought you again, I know that Tyrone Cash had a very happy family and that he pathetically left that family behind for his own fantasies, did you leave your life behind or where you taken?"
Arachnophillia gasped slightly, for Sieg looked at her with genuine concern. It was a look she hadn't seen in a long time and still wasn't numb to. Her mouth expanded into a smile as she ran her hand across her body.
"My skin became acidic when my powers first manifested, I used it to kill a guy that was trying to rape me. Osborn soon found me and modified my body so that I could spit the acid, he also infused me with DNA from Jessica Drew and even his arch nemesis Spider-man. He intended to turn me into a Spider-woman and I loved the idea," she explained. "I love the idea of being a hero, perhaps even more than I love to dominate men, especially naïve ones like you!"
Arachnophillia rolled her head back, laughing hysterically as the sun shined over her body. The other Squadron members were taken aback by her manner, yet Sieg showed indifference. He raised his hand, a crystal materialising in his palm.
"When I was but a baby an evil warlord tried to kidnap me and turn into his apprentice. But I ended up becoming the adopted son of a hero, and its something I strangely don't regret, I could have a happy life with my grandparents, going through college but I'm not living that kind of life. I can make the choice to turn my back but I don't, I can make the choice to profit from my powers but I don't, I could even choose to give into everyone's belief that I'm going to be as sick and twisted as you two are," Sieg explained as he squeezed the crystal.
"You complete and utter fool, YOUR GOING TO DIE HERE!" Tyrone yelled.
"Why are you so set on this belief that you wont be a villain, why not just give in and enjoy your destiny?" Arachnophillia asked.
"Because its not what I believe!" Sieg growled.
A giant crystal appeared behind Sieg as he shattered the crystal in his hand. He spread his legs out and raised his hand as the crystal passed through him, consuming him and changing him.
"Benevolent spirits of belief, GRANT ME POWER!" he yelled.
The crystal shattered, releasing a dust that spread around the villains. They looked at Sieg in shock as he revealed his new armour. He dropped into a fighting stance as he declared his identity:
"Avatar of faith, deifier of fate, VICTORY PEACE!"
Sieg ran, the dust rushing past him as he charged at the villains. Despite his head start, the villains didn't back down and rushed at Sieg. Jumping over Tyrone Cash, Sieg dodged a punch from Arachnophillia, and then tripped her to the floor. He punched Nighthawk in the head, shattering his mouth guard. Then he dodged a sword strike from the Knight and in a flurry of punches and kicks, struck each member of the Squadron. He sidestepped and punched at each opponent, practically dancing around his enemies. Rushing past the villains, Sieg turned around and clapped his hands together. Light shined in his right hand before he slammed it into the ground. Crystal spikes then burst out of the concrete, trapping the villains in a makeshift prison.
"Just like my old man taught me!" he said.
Tyrone Cash let out a roar of anger before he shattered the crystal pillars. One landed on a squadron member, causing his comrades to disperse. Cash however looked to Sieg and growled. Once again the boy mockingly beckoned his enemy to approach. The 'first Hulk's' roar echoed through the streets, shaking whole buildings. Sieg clutched his chest for a moment, feeling his bones and even his heart vibrate from the shockwave.
"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE ME MAD!" Tyrone roared.
Yet again, Sieg taunted Cash and challenged him.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
Tyrone shot like a bullet towards Sieg, punching him in the face. But much to Tyrone's shock, Sieg's head shattered like a crystal.
"You fool that isn't him," Arachnophillia said.
Cash looked up, widening his eyes to see Sieg standing on a crystal platform. He was flying up the side of the building, heading straight for Cortez. Two crystal swords materialised in Sieg's hands as he jumped off the platform and landed behind Cortez.
"Neo Cortez, you didn't really put much effort into that alias did you?" Sieg asked.
"Not really, but it did its job I suppose," Cortez sighed.
Arcanna stepped in front of Sieg, her hands glowing with green energy. Sieg crossed his swords together as Arcanna fired an energy blast. The blast knocked Sieg off the building. He grinned as he landed in the arms of Blue Marvel.
"They're all in place Sieg," Adam said.
Arachnophillia widened her eyes as she heard the roar of several engines. A pair of jets flew over the region, dropping missiles on the Squadron members. The blast threw Arachnophillia back and she looked up, seeing a news copter flying over them.
"No way, this isn't supposed to happen, heroes are supposed to beat the villains not the army or the cops," Arachnophillia gasped.
"Actually those jets were Airforce, my dad has a few contacts there!"
Arachnophillia turned her head, glaring as Karen walked out of the smoke. She slammed her spear into the ground and changed her skin into a flesh-based suit of armour.
"You know technically we're both naked, it's a good thing there's no perverted guys around for what happens next," Karen grinned as she twirled her staff around.
"Kinky, and what's going to happen next?" Arachnophillia asked.
"I'm going to kick your ass for what you did to Sieg!" Karen growled before she lunged at her opponent.
The other Squadron members got off the floor and screamed as SWAT teams began running out of the smoke. They fired their rifles, hitting some of the Squadron members. Temptress drew on the powers of a cheetah as she ran way from the officers. Blue Nova raised his hands, ready to disintegrate the cops. Suddenly a device flew onto its chest releasing electrical sparks. Citizen V then rushed through the smoke and drove his sword through Blue Nova's chest.
"That was for Michael," John growled.
Hind Sight lad then walked out of the smoke, brandishing a futuristic rifle. He wore a Kevlar vest and goggles in place of his glasses. Several police officers in riot gear then walked up behind him.
"We've heard from our officers downtown and are beginning to clear the safe houses you mentioned," one of the officer said.
"Good job officer, now move into secure the suspects," Citizen V pointed his finger at the retreating Squadron members.
Ben Urich ran out of the smoke, leading his camera crew.
"Citizen V, what is the nature of this joint police and military exercise?" Urich asked.
"It is an operation to bring down the Squadron Supreme, the people have already decided that they have had enough so we are working with local authorities and the military to disarm the Squadron Supreme," Citizen V explained.
"Do you have anything to say to the people watching right now?"
John turned to the camera and focused his eyes. All across New York, Washington and every major population centre in the world, civilians watched Citizen V address them as a commander:
"People of America and I hope the whole world, put your faith in your heroes but don't just stand out of their way, help them where you can, if you see something suspicious report it to the police, ask them for help but don't ask for anything more, we wear these masks because we too have things to protect. The government can not help, right now the services and heroes stand as the only authority that's looking out for the world, with the Avengers distracted a select group of heroes have begun working with police, rescue and armed forces to assist in the arrest of the Squadron supreme and the protection of the people. But do not simply rely or wait for us, help each other, protect one another, offer shelter to the helpless and in your own way help your neighbours!"
Unknown to Cortez, people across the world were doing that part. On Utopia, mutants took in humans and even joined hands. The sight was certainly inspiring, inspiring enough to bring the X-men together to drive back the invading Squadron and U-men forces. In Japan, the Big Hero five were helping the police to catch criminals. Sunfire slammed Silver Samurai into the ground, standing tall as the police approached to drag his opponent away. Across New York, SWAT teams raided Squadron science labs, dragging scientists out one at a time. Detective Mac Taylor and Carlie Cooper exited their police hotrod and aimed their guns at Flag Smasher.
"Give it up Thierrault its over," Mac warned the super villain.
Flag Smasher laughed as he raised his mace.
"You stupid idiots, I've already achieved my goal, America is finally relinquishing its authority figures, riots will soon break out and the destruction of your supposed society will…"
Suddenly, Black Tarantula dived into Flag Smasher, punching him in the head.
"Didn't you hear the news, people are rioting, they're just using their aggression to smash the people that are really responsible for their suffering," Black Tarantula said before he punched Flag Smasher across the face.
He then raised his hands and walked towards Mac and Carlie.
"I surrender!"
In Wakanda, the female Black Panther kicked back several Squadron agents before slashing one across the chest. Her fellow Wakandan warriors helped her drive back the enemy forces, while protecting the civilians. Blue Marvel suddenly flew into the region, dragging a hover ship to the ground. Civilians then began throwing rocks and spears at the ship, smashing its windows. They climbed into the aircraft, shutting down the controls and knocking out the pilots. Blue Marvel let the ship go and flew like a bullet to another continent. He flew into Moscow, crashing through a Squadron robot. Vanguard threw his shield into Missile Blue's head, while Whip Lash slashed Comet-man across the chest. Darkstar and Dynamo shot multiple Squadron Justifiers as Titanium man magnetically pulled their helmets off.
"The Justifiers can be freed of their mind control when their helmets are taken off, half of them are civilians so no lethal force is authorised," Citizen V said over his radio.
Stingray burst out of the water, punching Tiger Shark across the chest. He then crossed his arms together as several Justifiers fired their blasts at him. Namora walked out of the water, casually knocking them out before turning her attention to Tiger Shark. She raised her fist and delivered a hard punch to the man's gut, knocking him out of the fight. Taskmaster slashed a Squadron member across the chest and knocked a Justifier out with his shield. He ducked underneath a Squadron member's sword before kicking his opponent in the chest.
"COMING THROUGH!" Prime yelled as he flew through several Justifiers, throwing them back in heaps.
Mockingbird smashed a Justifier across the head, while Spider-woman hit two with a venom blast. War Machine fired his Gatling guns at Squadron members as Rescue pulled several people out of a burning building. Lyra the Savage She-Hulk fought back to back alongside White Tiger, both of them engaging the 'justified' versions of Hardball and Komodo. Prime punched Thor Girl across the head, shattering her Justifier helmet. Thor swung his hammer around, forming a tornado that threw several Squadron members like rag dolls. In Washington, riot crews began striking back against Justifier forces, whilst in the war museum a very different battle went on.
Michael Van Patrick delivered a series of punches and kicks to King Cobra's head, swinging his shield around the knock the man out. He blocked a spray of bullets from a Hydra Agents gun before he jumped and kicked two AIM agents. Falcon tackled Crossbones, knocking him into a line of Hydra agents. Black Widow slid across the floor, shooting both Viper and Eel in the chest. Battlestar and US Agent stood back to back, smashing Hydra agents with their shields. Sharon Carter rolled across the floor, dodging the foot of a Nazi mech. Sin yelled at Carter as she targeted the agent. Suddenly a missile slammed into the back of the mech. Rikki Barnes loaded a missile into Bucky's rocket launcher, allowing him to shoot it into the back of Sin's mech. Michael moved through the Hydra agents, viciously kicking and punching them aside. He came to a halt as he looked upon a familiar and hateful figure. The Red Skull drew his pistol and promptly threw it to the floor.
"Let us see if you are worthy of that shield boy," the Skull said as he and Michael moved in a circle.
They both charged towards one another. Red Skull slammed his fist into Michael's shield, throwing him backwards. Jumping to his feet, Michael ducked under the Skull's second punch. He swung the edge of his shield into Red Skull's chin, knocking him back. But the Red Skull quickly grabbed Michael's shield, pulling him across the floor. Michael kept a tight hold of his shield, beginning a deadly game of tug of war with the Red Skull. Black Widow delivered a series of chops and kicks to Eel's neck and knees. Pulling her fist back, she punched the villain in the head, tearing his mask off of his face. Falcon punched Crossbones multiple times, viciously drawing blood from the mass murderer. Crossbones suddenly head butted Sam, throwing him off. He grabbed Sam's harness and threw him across the carpet.
"This time I get to kill you for real," Crossbones grinned as he lifted his boot to Sam's face.
Suddenly, Redwing flew into Crossbones's face, pecking at his eyes. The masked man yelled in agony, flailing his arms around. Falcon got up off the floor and delivered a savage punch to his enemy's gut. He grabbed Crossbones by his neck and retracted his wings, flying towards the ceiling.
"THIS IS FOR SHOOTING CAP!"
Like a rocket, Falcon flew straight into the ceiling, bursting into the floor above. He continued to fly upwards, pouring every bit of power his wings had into one last burst. Falcon let out yell as he and Crossbones burst through the museum roof. He flew higher and higher, continuing to savagely beat the man that had killed hundreds. Then Falcon dived downwards, increasing his speed as he flew back through the hole. Falcon landed, using Crossbones as a pillow to cushion his fall. He stood up, spitting on Crossbone's body.
"Brock! YOU BASTARD!" Sin yelled as she turned her mech to Falcon.
Suddenly, the left leg of Sin's mech gave away, causing the machine to collapse. Spitfire ran through the museum, throwing the screws and bolts she had taken from the mech's leg into the Hydra agents. Nick Fury and Dugan fired their rifles at Hydra agents, while Toro and Jim Hammond burnt a Nazi mech to the ground. Sin jumped out of the fallen Mech, firing her pistols at Rikki and Bucky. James pushed his Counter-Earth copy to cover, using his own arm as a shield.
"JUST DIE!" Sin screamed.
"You first bitch," Natasha growled as she grabbed Sin's arm.
Natasha thrust the palm of her hand into Sin's elbow and with one strong push, dislocated the arm. Sin screamed like she never had before, her pistols falling to the floor. In one last ditch effort, Sin removed a knife from her suit and swung it at Natasha. But the Black Widow quickly grabbed Sin's arm, ready to break that one as well. Sin grit her teeth together as she fought against the greatest spy. Suddenly, blood spurted from Sin's belly as multiple bullets slammed into her back.
"That was for my baby!" Sharon declared before shooting Sin one more time.
Sin fell to the floor, resting permanently in a pool of her own blood. Red Skull tugged on Michael's shield, lifting and swinging him off the ground. But Michael ran across the wall, using the momentum to jump behind Red Skull. He cupped his hands together and slammed them into the back of the Nazi's head. Ducking underneath Cap's shield, Michael kicked Red Skull in the chest, knocking him into a display of European swords. The Red Skull threw the shield at Michael, only for the boy to slide across the floor, narrowly dodging the discus. Michael quickly jumped to his feet and slammed his knees into Red Skull's face. Red Skull drew a knife from his boot and swung it at Michael, slashing his cheek. Michael pulled off his helmet and smacked Red Skull across the face. Red Skull slammed his fist into Michael's gut, knocking a lot more than just the wind out of him.
"Idiotic boy, did you think I was merely flesh? Arnim Zola remade my body with the finest materials, what makes you think a mere iron helmet can stop me?" Red Skull asked.
Red Skull brandished his knife, laughing as Michael looked up at him defiantly. Suddenly a red and white blur flew through the Red Skulls arm. As his robotic arm fell to the floor, the Red Skull and Michael looked at the new arrival in shock. While Michael was left in awe, true terror distracted the Red Skull from his battle plans.
"Impossible," he said.
"Vibranium seems to do it just fine," the new arrival grinned.
Neo Cortez looked at his phone, reading hundreds of blogs being sent out across the net. In the past few hours Squadron members were being arrested and their operations shut down. Sieg smirked at the man's horrified expression.
"But how, how is this happening?" Neo asked.
"I followed the connections and told the others where to go, that and I turned the Hood over to the authorities. He gave them everything he knew so that he wouldn't end up in Ryker's, that combined with the evidence and information I had Hindsight Lad send them enabled them to find and shut down the Squadron projects in the country," Sieg explained.
"This isn't right," Neo growled.
"What, I'm supposed to fall, to cross a line? I've already crossed a line, I've encouraged us all to work together, the X-men, The Avengers, the police, we're all together in our own way. My father wanted to unite the heroes, but heroes can only be united when they need to be, in fact if anything its you whose helped unite us," Sieg brandished a crystal shield as Arcanna's hands glowed.
Neo walked towards the edge of the roof and watched as his Squadron members ran out of the SWAT tear gas clouds. They huffed and puffed, driven to become far cries from the 'heroes' they were supposed to be. Jason walked towards the Squadron members, twirling his tonfa.
"Who are you?" Chem-man asked.
"You can call me the Spirit, and that's no connection to the guy that doesn't die," Jason grinned as he smacked his weapons together.
The gold silhoutte appeared over his body as his costume engaged its battle mode. A plate slid over Jason's mouth, as the lenses of his mask took on a red colour.
"Avatars of the spirits, grant me strength," Jason whispered.
The gold aura around him shaped itself into a pair of shoulder pads, armour boots and a war crown around Jason's face. His dual tonfa suddenly turned into gold, two handled swords. Twirling the blades around, Jason challenged the gathered Squadron members.
"Idiot, there's seven of us and only one of you," Shape said.
"And you psychos came out of the lab a week ago, I've been at this since I was thirteen," Jason said.
"You'd best count the numbers again!"
Shape and the other Squadron members looked to the smoke. The floor practically shook as Grasshopper walked towards them. He had a cybernetic replacement for his lost arm and wore heavier green armour. But the former Great Lakes Avenger wasn't alone. Beside him was Squirrel Girl, Molly Hayes, the Sam Alexander Nova, and the new Power Man Victor Alvarez. But he wasn't just joined by 'junior' heroes, A-Bomb, Monica Rambeau, Hellcat and Micromax also joined them. Shape and Haywire stepped back in fear as the bruisers of the team began cracking their fists together.
"A word of advice, go limp and it wont hurt," Power Man grinned.
Neo looked towards Sieg and narrowed his eyes in fury. At his unspoken command, Arcanna fired an energy blast. But another blast intercepted it, leading Cortez to look at the edge of the building. Nico stood holding her staff, smiling as Neo growled.
"So that's where you went, you were uniting heroes," Neo said.
"Just making calls to some friends, and getting other junior off of their asses. With Nova Prime so distracted with space, he sent one of his protégés to protect the Earth. Power Man lives on these streets so naturally he'll throw down to defend them, Molly got bored of Utopia and Nico of course cant stand back while she's fighting, I visited the Great Lakes team, Squirrel Girl was the only one willing to do something. Citizen V called Micromax and when I called Stark he was willing to lend me Pulsar and Hellcat, while Rick Jones volunteered," Sieg explained.
Nico walked onto the building, brandishing her staff at Arcanna. The two witches fired energy blasts at one another, creating all manner of magical effects. Portals to other dimensions appeared to protect them and redirect energy blasts. Nico created a torrent of magical wires, wrapping them around Arcanna. With a swing of her staff, Nico sent Arcanna flying off the rooftop. While Nico flew off, Sieg began walking towards Neo.
"Now let's just calm down for a moment shall we, I can give you information too," Cortez said.
"Not likely, your not programmed to," Sieg shrugged.
"Programmed? What are you talking about?" Neo asked.
Sieg smirked slightly as crystal dust flowed from his fingers tips.
"You've been breathing this stuff in without even knowing it, I'm connected to the dust and it allows me to…well at the risk of sounding very perverted feel inside peoples bodies," Sieg sheepishly chuckled.
Neo widened his eyes, stepping towards the edge of the building.
"You've got no real organs, just imitation copies, even your lungs are made of plastic, everything else that makes your body work runs on batteries," Sieg stopped the flow of dust as his sword appeared in his hand.
Sieg suddenly lunged forward, driving the sword through Cortez's chest. Oil and sparks gushed out of the man's back and chest. Sieg pulled the blade out the robot's chest, watching it fall off the edge of the building.
"That's how I know, that you're not the real mastermind behind this mess," Sieg let out a sigh as he shattered his weapons.
He looked to the area where the hunt for Deathblade was taking place. The young man hoped that the others would heed his advice and take down Deathblade quickly. With the world at war with crime everything would depend on the Avengers, or any team really finding out who was responsible for this Squadron's sudden arrival.
He watched the fall of Cortez and smiled. It was a kink in the plan but it wouldn't interfere with the end result. The other scientists looked at him in fear, aware of what he would do when this happy. His apprentice brandished his sword, looking to him for approval. With a simple nod of his head, he unleashed the full rage his apprentice had been hiding for weeks now. The scientists screamed as the young man shot across the room, beheading one scientist that had been responsible for Hyperion's augmentations. While his apprentice claimed 'justice', he walked to the last experiments Cortez had authorised. His black gloves hand wrapped around the handle attached to the wall. He pulled the canister out of the wall, marvelling at the shining object encased in the shatterproof. His fascination with the strange experiment faded as he removed a book from his belt.
"Destiny, what utter garbage…it seems your predictions weren't all they were cracked up to be," he sighed. "Oh well, it'll be interesting to see how the world reacts to Sieg changing time itself, though he wont become the tyrant they fear, they'll still fear him and in their paranoia they will trigger delicious tragedy," he paused as his apprentice walked up behind him, drenched in the blood of the scientists.
"What now?" the young man asked.
"Get the others, Deathblade still has the real heroes distracted, and we still have more work to do," his master said.
"But why take that object?"
"Oh this, I have possession of a Destiny diary, which has allowed me to see Sieg's future. Right now he is diverging from the events Destiny predicted, I'm curious to see whether my actions will put him back on what many think of as the 'right' path, oh I wish I could stay to watch what happens next," he grinned.
"Did Destiny predict this?"
"No, she wrote in the diary, but the diary doesn't change, it always remains the same and eventually becomes useless when its clear that this future isn't the one Destiny predicted," he dropped the diary and squashed it with his boot. "Just useless drivel now, but the universe still reacts, the future will still react. They are still going to come here thinking they can reverse their present…I can't STAND SUCH PEOPLE!"
He sighed, his anger forgotten as he lifted the canister onto his shoulder.
"Still, it'll be entertaining to watch the idiots actually try to change their futures when in actuality they've just left their present behind to make another present worse!"
He laughed as he left the bloodbath, his apprentice following close behind him.
Sieg watched as the battle between the Squadron Supreme and the assembled authorities intensified. He saw Karen fighting a violent match with Arachnophillia and Jason practically tearing the inexperienced Squadron members apart. Sieg imagined the difference Sofia, Sooraya and Laura had made with the defence of San Francisco. Alls that was left to do was finish up with Deathblade and focus on the real enemy.
"Siegfried Wallace!"
Raising his eyebrows, Sieg turned to the speaker. He sighed, not wanting to see one more person from the supposed future. Floating before Sieg, his futuristic helmet clinging to his angered expression was the founder of the Young Avengers.
"Siegfried Wallace, you have no idea what your current path is doing to the timeline," Iron Lad growled.
"Time travel, first its changing events creates an alternate timeline then its paradoxes and end of the universe bullshit. And yet, here you are, not as Kang the Conqueror, isn't that proof enough that destiny isn't all its cracked up to be?" Sieg asked.
"YOUR GOING TO DESTROY TIME ITSELF!" Iron Lad yelled.
"I guess there's no reasoning with you then, if you and everyone thinks that I have to be a villain then so be it, I don't care about your views. There's only one persons opinion I care about, he believes in me and I wont let that belief down," Sieg summoned his sword and stood his ground.
Iron lad let out a yelled before firing an energy blast at Sieg.
'I've got no idea what's going on, then again it is time travel,' Sieg thought before throwing himself into battle.
Next Chapter 20: Crossing the line part 3
Hope everyone enjoyed Sieg's reappearence and his new powers, he'll be showing them off later when he defends himself against Iron Lad. Next time Avengers Academy fights back the Justifier brainwashed Initiative, with Zack accessing new levels of his powers
