Hello everyone. So if anyone has come here from my original Star Wars: Force Awakens will no wonder why I have decided to rewrite it with only just two chapters in. Well there is many reasons for doing this. I wanted to explain more about what is happening with Nightshade and with Qymaen before getting right into the story itself. And the best way to do that is following right after the events that had happened at the end of Avengers and the Book of the Dead. If you are new to my stories you will find that all my stories are connected with characters and events coming in from different fandoms coming together in events in the series. You can find the series on my profile if you are interested to seeing this from the start.
So just a little background information about the series that I am writing for those that are new to it. The series that I am working on is called the 'Infinity Avengers' and all the stories so far are connected and have lead to the events that had happened in Avengers and the Book of the Dead. So there will be characters and events from different fandoms other than Star Wars and Transformers. Those fandoms include Avengers (MCU but there will be characters from Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes), Doctor Who, Digimon Adventure 01, The Mummy and Supernatural. They wont play a big role in this story but they are in it.
Another note for you all is that Galvatron along with the other Decepticons that goes with him are from the Primeverse. I would say that to better understand what had happened to Galvatron from Primeverse to read Transformers: Redemption of a Fallen Warrior. This universe itself is set in the Generation 1 universe.
Nightshade and Galvatron are exiled from Earth and are looking for allies who can help her in retaking Earth from Seth and his forces. It sounds easy but when she finds herself in the middle of the Clone Wars she is going to need all her years of experience in keeping ahead of a Sidious plan. 8th in the Infinity Avengers series. Canon divergence.
The Force Within
Chapter 1: Seth's Temple and Exile
Outside of Cairo hovering over the desert and the Great Pyramids was a massive pyramid temple. The temple was that of Seth, the Ancient Egyptian God of Chaos. He had been quick in rebuilding his temple. His temple that for many years had been in the desert well away from any city; both modern and ancient. He had changed that when he defeated the Avengers and their allies in London. Using his magic he repaired the passage of time to his temple and then moved it closer to Cairo.
The golden walls of the temple reflected the light of the sun back out in all directions. Hieroglyphics told the story of Seth on all the walls of the pyramid that looked out to the world. On one of the walls workers and slaves where working on telling more of his story. The story of how he managed to defeat the Avengers and Guardians along with the combined forces of the Autobots and Decepticons. It did not matter that they knew of his existence for seventy years.
It was their own arrogance that had allowed Seth to win and get his hands on the Book of the Dead. The one thing that they knew could make Seth all powerful and also kill him. They had thought that by working together they would win in the fight, like so many before. He had made it seem that he had first came on the scene during the Second World War by aiding the Red Skull and HYDRA with their plans. He had been carefully planning his rise to power for three thousand years. Most of that time he had just been a spirit hiding in his temple until he got more strength back. Once he had enough strength he ventured out to see a changed world. He quickly learned what was different and what was the same and made tweaks to his plans.
His plans for a while did not make sense. They seemed to be random and out of place, but finally they all came together. He at long last had defeated Imhotep. The heigh priest who had first read from the Book all those years ago that stripped him of his powers. He now had the governments of the world in his hands. He controlled all the gang families and police force. SHIELD and UNIT had been dissolved with their leaders being jailed before they could think of standing up to him with any resistance. The Avengers and Guardians where locked up in the Tower of London awaiting to be moved to a more permanent residence. The Autobots where being send to a mine in North America to mine Energon as his agreement with Megatron.
Seth smiled to himself. He sat on his throne in his grand throne room. All around him his allies stood and watched the three who were on their knees before him. He tapped his fingers as he looked at them all individual.
Nightshade was on her knees before Seth and his court. Her arms where tied behind her back in golden chains. The gold having burnt all the way to the metal bone beneath, but she was not showing any pain as she glared at Seth who was glaring back at him. He had a smug look on his face as he looked at the three who had yet to be send to the Tower of London. She snarled and showed her teeth at him. His smug look only got bigger.
On either side of her was Thor and Galvatron. The two of them were also in chains on their knees. Their arms trapped behind their backs with demons and Terrorcons standing on either side of them. Thor was struggling against the chains that where keeping him grounded. He kept shouting curses and promises for war to Seth as he tried and failed to get out of the chains keeping him at bay. The demons looked at each other before looking at Thor. The Asgardian was showing no sign that he was getting tired. They looked up towards Seth as they waited for him to give the word to end the Gods struggles.
Galvatron, unlike Thor was keeping still. His red optics where locked ahead of him as he waited for Seth to say something. He like Nightshade where keeping calm as they waited for what was to be their fate. He had learned recently that it was better to keep calm and think rather than rushing into things with his plasma canon. That was what he had been before. Before he had meet Nightshade and faced against Unicron with Optimus Prime and uniting Cybertron together. Before he had renamed himself as Galvatron. Behind him stood Megatron. The Tankformer had a wicked grin on his faceplate as he looked down towards the alternative dimension version of himself.
Seth leaned back on his throne and looked bored as he tapped a finger on to the arm of his throne. His yellow eyes looked towards the three who had yet to be flung into jail after their defeat in London. He still wore his fancy tailored suit. He had added the crown and robes of the Royal Family of Britain to his wardrobe. The crown sat on his head and the red robes where draped over his shoulders.
He studied the three of them as they all glared at him. He had won. He had gotten everything that he had before and more. He ruled the Earth with an iron fist. He had the governments of the world in his hands. Every crime syndicate was now also under his control. He ruled everything and the Avengers had nothing left. They were just relics of the old order that he had destroyed.
"Whatever you are going to do with us fiend, do it now and be over with these mind games!" demanded Thor. The Asgardian was angry and rightly so. The battle of London was going their way until Seth had managed to get the Book of the Dead. He had gotten it at the very last minute of the battle. A moment that was just as important as the start and the middle. With the Book he had been able to reclaim all his powers and more. He had managed to then defeat all of the Avengers and Guardians.
Seth smirked at Thor. He slowly stood up from his throne and walked towards the three trapped Avengers. His hands clasped behind his back as he walked towards the three of them. The two remaining Serpent Sisters, Python and Cobra walked on either side of him. Their weapons in their scaly hands as they marched on either side of him. They now wore helmets shaped like snake heads to cover their faces.
"My dear Thor! I do not want to start another war when I have just won the last one! No, I want my new empire to have a peaceful beginning and the best way to do that is for the three of you to go into exile and stay away from Earth!" he told the three of them.
"No! We shall not flee from the likes of you villain!" Thor shouted. He struggled on his chains again, but this time the demons on either side grabbed his shoulders. With their supernatural strength they forced him back onto his knees. He grunted when they forced them back down onto his knees. He looked up at one of the demons and was given a punch in the face.
"Enough!" Seth boomed. He was right in front of them now. The red robe was on the ground. Python and Cobra both had their weapons in a defensive stance as they waited for the Avengers to make a move against their master. Their tails that were encased in heavy armour dragged on the ground as they stood on either side of him. The two Sisters glared towards Nightshade. Even with the helmets that they wore everyone in the throne room could feel the hatred that they both shared for her. Nightshade had killed their Sister, Viper during the Battle of London.
Seth looked at the three of them. Nightshade already knew what he was going to do. They had talked in her cell deep in the catacombs of his temple. Every second of that meeting went against everything that she stood for. But it was for the best for everyone. Not until she, Galvatron and Thor had time to regroup and not under the watchful eyes of the Serpent Sisters and Ahmanet.
"Like I said Thor, I do not want to start a war. Not after everything that we have been through. So I am going to give you a chance. A chance to save yourself and the people that you care for!" Seth told them all. His attention was on Thor. The Prince of Thunder was growling as he looked at the Wereset that stood before him. Seth smirked before he looked towards Nightshade.
"What's your terms?" she asked him. She felt Thor's eyes and Galvatron's optics on her. She lowered her head. She didn't want to look at them. Not after what she had agreed with Seth. Why he was doing this, she didn't know? Was it to embarrass her more than he already done so? Was it to show to the world that even with the combined efforts of the Avengers, Guardians and New Decepticons didn't stand a chance against him? Nightshade knew when she was beat and right now they were beaten.
Seth smirked at Nightshade. "I am glad that are on my side with this Nightshade! Unlike that brute of a ghoul that follows you around like a lost puppy!" he told her. The two of them had come to an agreement away from the prying ears of Thor and Galvatron. The two of them like Nightshade where fighters, but unlike Nightshade they didn't think about ending a fight peacefully. Nightshade, he had learned over the years of watching the Guardians was good at talking herself out of a problem that Edward or Julian had walked themselves in. He had to commend her sense of honour on keeping to her core beliefs as she faced the being who had defeated her in a battle.
Nightshade growled and looked up at him. "Stop stalling and get on with it! I am sure that you are dying to speak with your subjects and tell them that they are so lucky to have you as their ruler!" she told him.
Seth fixed his suit and looked at her more than the other two. "I don't want to start another war. Not one with Asgard and not one with your allies Nightshade that you have in the galaxy. So I am asking the three of you to leave Earth on peaceful terms. Return to Asgard and return to a new planet to start a refresh! In doing so I will not kill your friends and I will give more rights to the Autobots in the mines for their trouble in helping rebuilt Cybertron!" he told her. He smirked at her knowing that she knew what was he was asking of her.
"We shall never expect your terms, fiend!" Thor roared at Seth. He was once again struggling in his restraints as a he also glared at Seth. "Let me out of these bindings and I will avenge everyone that you have killed and enslaved!" Thor snapped at Seth.
Seth looked towards Thor before he looked back at Nightshade. "You haven't told them of the little agreement we made last night, Nightshade?" he asked her. He saw the looks that Thor and Galvatron gave Nightshade. "I see you haven't told them of our conversation last night?!" he asked her.
Nightshade kept looking at Seth. She had agreed to his terms and he had agreed to hers. They needed to fall back and reclaim their strength before they can think about fighting against Seth once again. The Battle of London had shown them how outmatched they were with Seth having all of his powers back. They needed to regroup and heal their wounds before they thought about going up against Seth again.
"Well then! I will have to tell them!" he said to both Thor and Galvatron. He smirked at seeing their faces as they looked towards one of their own. He was glad that Nightshade had agreed to his terms. "Like I said before, I don't want to start a fight. Not with Asgard with jailing their prince and not with you Nightshade with your allies beyond the stars! So I am asking you three to leave Earth and never come back! If I hear that any of you are sniffing about the Earth then I will not hesitate to destroy a city!" he told them all.
Galvatron looked over his shoulder at Megatron. "You promised me, Seth that I will have both Optimus Prime and Nightshade!" Megatron snapped at Seth. He stepped back when those yellow eyes of Seth landed on him. "Not that I am not happy to have a work force that you have given me!" he said to Seth.
Seth once again smirked as he looked towards Thor and Galvatron. Thor was glaring at him and looked ready to take him on once again. Galvatron, like Nightshade had accepted his terms. "Now that you know the terms, do you accept them?" he asked them all.
"We shall never surrender to the likes of you fiend!" Thor shouted at Seth. He was once again struggling in the chains that where holding him in place. The two demons who where standing on either side of him were ready to fight him should he escape from his bonds. Raising a hand, he told them to stand down. Instantly the two demons stood down, but their eyes watched the Prince of Asgard closely. Waiting for him to make a move against Seth.
"Thor! Stand down! This is the best for everyone!" Nightshade spoke for the first time. She watched Thor until he stopped struggling before looking back at Seth. "We accept your terms and condition. As long as you keep to your word then I will keep to mine!" she said to Seth.
Seth bowed his head towards her. "Many thanks again Nightshade! You are a being of your world and so am I! There shall be no harm to the cities and your allies! I have gotten what I was simple told that I deserved from my youth!" he said to her. He looked at all three of them. "And I promise that the people of earth shall be treated well under my rule. That is if they follow it!" he warned her.
"The people of Earth will not allow you to rule over them without standing their ground!" Galvatron shouted at Seth. He had seen it many times back in his dimension. He had tried to overtake planets and have the locals always standing up to the Decepticons. That all changed when he was killed by Optimus Prime and then brought back by Unicron to be his puppet in taken Cybertron. Following those events he was brought to this dimension where he had meet Nightshade, who had helped heal his Spark with a Cursebreaker.
Seth looked towards Galvatron. "That is true! I am aware that the first few months of this new rule will be difficult for many people, but in time they will learn their place!" he told the silver and purple Mech before he focused once again on all of them. "They no doubt learned their lesson when they saw their defenders being defeated by my army!" he said to them.
Galvatron was beginning to see what Nightshade was planning. He didn't like it and he was sure that she didn't like it either. The alternative was not any better. He looked over to her to see her watching him. Her scarred eye had gotten worse without the proper care that she had normal given it. He would need to have Knockout look at it when they got on bored the Nemesis. He looked back to Seth to see him gloating in front of Thor once again.
"We accept your terms Seth! We will leave earth in your care!" Galvatron shouted out. He got many strange looks considering that only a moment ago he was voicing ideas of revolution before Seth. All of Seth's allies sniggered at the weakness he was showing. They seemed to think that they were beaten. A ploy that he and Nightshade where hoping they would think.
Seth smiled at him and looked towards Thor. "See it is not so easy to see when you have been defeated, Prince of Thunder! I am allowing you to go back to Asgard and be with your people as a sign of peace between our worlds!" he said to Thor. He then looked towards Nightshade. "I shall give you enough provisions needed to leave this System well behind you!" he told her.
"What Izzy and Tentomon?" she asked him.
Seth sucked in air through his teeth and stomped towards her. Python and Viper following him as he went to stand in front of her. "What about the brat and the bug? He was there in London with you when you were fighting me? He is a part of the Avengers like you? So why are you more interested him in than either Edward or Julian?" he asked her.
"Because they are just kids and I made a promise that I would protect him and by default Tentomon to! And you know I am a person of my word or this 'alliance' wouldn't be gone so smoothly as it is at the moment!" she responded back to Seth.
Seth looked over his shoulder and at Tony Stark who stood in the shadow of his throne. The hypnotised Avenger had helped bring them down long before the Battle of London had begun. The armoured Avenger had then proven to be useful in testing the Avengers strength in working as a team. Now he along with the Iron Legion would help the Serpent Sisters in maintaining order all throughout his new Empire. "What is the situation with the Izumi boy?" he asked Stark.
Stark stood to attention. His blank eyes staring past everyone and out to the city of Cairo that was just at the Temple's doorstep. He was no longer wearing his Iron Man suit, rather he was wearing a toga with sandals. Seth had complete control over the man who once had vailed his own freedom over everything. "He is in the Tower of London with the other Avengers and their allies!" came Stark's bland response back to Seth.
"Friend Iron Man! You must fight over the enchantment that Seth has placed over you!" Thor shouted at Stark.
"Thor, that's not good! Stark's mind is lost!" Nightshade snapped back to Thor.
"No, you have just given up hope that you have made a deal with this monster!" Thor shouted back at Nightshade. He looked towards her to see that both her and Galvatron where staring at him. Both their red optics had a glint in them that he would have missed if he was not looking for it.
"That is where Izzy and Tentomon will stay!" Seth spoke up and earning their attention once again.
Nightshade growled. "He is just a child. He should not be treated like the others. Allow him to come with us!" she snapped at him
"He was not a part of the deal that we spoke of the last night!" Seth growled back towards her. His yellow eyes narrowed as he wondered what she was planning on doing next. In their conversation last night there had been no mention of the DigiDestined of Knowledge or the bug that followed him. He was going to put it down to shock in losing a battle. Something that had been a long time coming for her. She had gotten too comfortable in the world that she had created. Much like the world that SHIELD and HYDRA had helped to create before it all came crashing down.
Nightshade strained against the chains that where keeping her held back. She was worried about the other Avengers and Guardians, but they could take care of themselves. Izzy was only fifteen years old and he would rather spend his time on his laptop. This whole thing that they found themselves in was huge and she knew that Izzy would be afraid. She didn't know the full extend of his adventures in the Digital World, but she knew that he had his own adventures. As long as Izzy had Tentomon she hoped that he would fine. That was something she hoped that Seth would allow if he was not allowed to come with them.
Seth rubbed his chin in thought to what she was asking of him. Allowing the Izumi boy to go with Nightshade it would show that he had mercy and that would allow the public to come around to his rule much quicker. He looked towards Python who shook her head in response. He then looked towards the three Avengers in chains before him. "Very well the boy and the bug will leave with you! Python," he said looking towards his loyal supporter, "Transport them back to the Nemesis and oversee the preparation of them leaving tomorrow!"
Python bowed her head before she looked towards the three Avengers. "Get up on your feet! Once we get you back to your ship you will be given your weapons back!" she told the three of them. She smirked when both Nightshade and Thor were pushed around by the demons that had come from the Daut. Megatron gave Galvatron a whack in the back of the helm when the Mech stood up on his feet. She walked ahead of them as she led them to where the Nemesis was along with Galvatron's forces.
Seth turned around to Viper. "Tell the guards at the Tower of London to release the boy and the bug and bring them here!" he ordered the other Serpent Sister.
Viper, like her sister bowed before she went to do the task that he had asked her to do. She didn't say anything as she walked away to carry out the task that she was asked to do.
