Hops and Coulson were sharing tea as they watched a game of Wheel Ball going on with Anne, Polly, Sprig, and Gabe having a blast. Though, Robbie was never one for these kind of things as he worked on the cottage. Trying what he can to either repair damages or improve upon it. "I have to thank you for watching over Anne and the others. Hope they were not too much of a problem for you." Phil announced with a warm smile. Hops just laughed at this as he took a drink of the tea he had prepared for the two of them.
"Don't sweat it, Phil. I already have to deal with two youngsters. Anne and her friends weren't that much of an issue to add on. Plus, Robbie has been quite helpful around the house. Being the handy man he is has it benefits ya know." The elderly frog announced with a wink as Coulson shared his thoughts. The three have a lot of promise, including Marcy and Sasha. Coulson just hoped he could help them realize their potential.
"If you don't mind, it would be helpful that you help me and my team learn more about your world. It doesn't take much to realize we would be here for a while." Coulson requested with a sincere tone as Hops nodded to this. "Plus, from what I have learn from Anne. AIM is most likely here too. I am grateful that you haven't ran into any of their more dangerous members aside from Noob Saibot." He told Hops with a sip of his tea.
"True that... But how did you even end up here?" Hops asked with a raised eyebrow, "Interdimensonal travel isn't something that happens every sunday..." He added on.
"From what we believe to be the cause, it was an experiment of AIM with some music box that SHIELD dug up from a set of ruins. The ruins themselves were associated with the Civilation of Xerxes. Xerxes seemed to have use the Stones encase on the lid as an energy source and AIM wanted to harness that power." Coulson explained as Hops seemed to have an expression of dread, as if the orange frog knew what he was talking about.
Meanwhile at the crash site of the Bus, Melinda was over seeing the repair process as Leo and Jean were trying to repair the electrical systems of the plane. "How are things looking Fitz? Think we can get the Bus in the air anytime soon?" Questioned Agent May as Leo alongside Jean Havoc. The massive energy surge that brought them into Amphibia did quite the number on the Bus. It sure didn't help that the crash landing further damaged the plane. Shortly the sound of Jean shouting out in pain from an electrical shock rang out as May began to rub the bridge of her nose in frustration.
"Damn It, Havoc! You are just making things worse! I told you to NOT mess with the breaker until I gave you the clear." Yelled Scottish Tech Agent as Jean shook his hand to soothe the pain from the violent zap. Letting out a quick sigh, Leo then turned to Melinda with some reassurance regarding the progress of the repairs. "Good news, we can repair most of the Bus and get the power on. Assuming that Havoc doesn't cause more damage than there already is with his reckless actions..." Fitz announced with a scolding glare toward the SHIELD Field Specialist who just flipped him off in a rage. "Though, regarding getting the bus airworthy? That will take more time. The engines are heavily damaged and from what I have seen from this world so far. There aren't many resources to do the repairs." Leo lamented with a small look of frustration.
"Too bad we haven't been able to locate both Sasha or Marcy. Marcy would definitely been able to make something with the scraps of this world that would help..." Announced the Hotheaded Lin Kuei Cryomancer, Frost, as she crossed her arms in minor annoyance. Why is it that we appeared in the same area while Anne, Gabe, Robbie, Sasha, and Marcy appeared in different areas?" Frost questioned with curiosity regarding this oddity.
"The most likely explanation would be that they were in different locations when AIM's experiment with that music box went wrong..." Jemma reasoned as she turned on the power to the Bus and activated the Holo-Table. She then brought up a projection of the device created by AIM. In the center of the machine, the Music Box was shown with a powerful aura surrounding it. "From what little we discovered about the Box itself before AIM got ahold of it. These three gems on the lid," Agent Simmons began as she then closed in on the Three Color Gems of Cyan, Green, and Pink, "Seemed to hold an incredible form of energy. Both Monica and Quan Chi were trying to harness that power with a mix of mysticism as well as science before we intercept them." Jemma explained as Leo came over to share his insight to the incident that brought them to Amphibia.
"Now, the energy within these gems are definitely unlike anything we know of. We even believe that these are the same gems that were used in the Legend regarding The Battle Against Kronika and her league of corrupted Celestials, Eternals, and Titans like Zamasu, Shao Kahn, and Sindel." Leo stated with a clear sense of excitement in his voice as Jemma also showed the same excitement.
"Speaking of AIM Obtaining the Box itself. Any ideas how Monica even got it when SHIELD had it under lock and key?" Questioned Agent X with a serious glare on his face as the Agents began to ponder this as well. "AIM's tech may be impressive but SHIELD has better safety protocols for even Ms Rappiccini to simply take it under our noses." Agent X added on as he noticed that Coulson was oddly absent before realizing where he was most likely to be. "Coulson with Anne and the frogs again?" The Agent questioned with disbelief.
"They have names, X. Treat them with some sense of respect. The Planters helped Anne, Robbie, and Gabe. They have shown that we can trust them. Furthermore, Hops is our best chance for us to learn what we can about this world." Melinda declared with narrowed eyes, causing X to flinch a bit. However, May did catch a glimpse of distaste from Frost regarding the fact Robbie was fine from the recent attack from Yunnan and her crew. "Though, you have a point regarding how Monica managed to get the box in the first place." May finished off as she knew that the amount of people being able to grab the box was not large. Director Fury, Sonya Blade, Maria Hill, Phil Coulson, and Agent X were the only ones with that kind of access. Though, it was doubtful any of them would try something like this. So, who was the culprit that gave AIM this form of Celestial Power?
