Just to say a lot Merry Christmas everyone. I hope that you all got what you asked for from Santa and that you had a great day. I don't want to say have a good year as I think that I will be posting the next chapter within the next couple of days but if that is not the cause I want to wish you the best new year when it rolls on and that 2020 brings you many good things.

Chapter 32

"Tell me Captain?" Seth asked Captain America as he stood tall and proud above the leader of the Avengers with the Book of the Dead in one hand and in the other hand he had Natasha in a tight grip by her neck. "How does it feel to know that no matter what you do you will always lose?" he spoke up again.

Captain America looked up at the God of Chaos. Seth had changed his normal suit for a battle armour unlike anything that he had seen before. At Seth's hip was a moon shaped golden blade. It had been that blade that Seth had used to cause Optimus to crash. From that event Seth had managed to get the better of him, Natasha and Black Panther. "You may have the Book at the moment but you have to deal with the rest of the Avengers!" Captain America shouted at Seth.

Seth smirked as he looked down at the supersoldier who lead the Avengers. He had to admit the first time that he had meet the human he had not thought much of him. The same could be said about every other human that he crossed paths with. Even Thomas, whose body he had been possessing for the past seventy to eighty years was seen as nothing more than a pawn to him. The only human that he had respect for was Imhotep . The High Priest of Osiris had been nothing but a pain in his side since Ancient Egypt all the way to the modern time when the Avengers released him from his time capsule. Nightshade did not count. She was not human, but he felt that she was wasting her powers in protect the humans. Shadowstalker being the opposite of Nightshade used her powers to get what she wanted and no doubt she was already planning a way to get out of the trap that the Avengers had put her in.

"You could not stand up to me before I had my prize! What makes you think you can do anything against me now that I have it?" Seth asked Captain America. He tightened his grip on Natasha's neck causing the international spy to gasp as she found it harder to breathe in the grip of the Chaos God.

"Seth release her!" boomed Optimus Prime. The leader of the Autobots had finally got out of his alternative form and stood above the humans and God. Black Panther at his side with his claws out as he got ready to fight Seth.

Seth heard heavy footsteps behind him and turned his head around to see Dalek Sec. The newly upgraded body suit that he had gotten from one of the other Ancient Gods had its weapons locked onto his head. Seth knew from his intertations with both Dalek Caan and Dalek X that Daleks were good at killing their targets, that was if they were not the Doctor or one of his allies. The Doctor was just one of those heroes who were too hard to kill.

"Look at that! The whole team is here to stop me!" Seth laughed as once more he tightened his grip on Natasha's throat. The Black Widow who had been through a lot in her training and then out in the field but she had never felt the strength that was coming from Seth. "Now we have a dilemma! Now I can let go of sweet Natasha's throat and you let me go with the Book of the Dead!" Seth started to say to the Avengers. He slightly let go of Natasha's neck and she instantly found herself trying to get air back into her lungs. That didn't last long as once again Seth tightened his grip on her neck, "Or we fight and risk Natasha life along with many others as you try to get the Book back from me rather than falling back and regrouping with the other Avengers!" Seth said as he looked right at Captain America.

"THAT IS NOT THE DALEK WAY! WE WILL FIGHT YOU SETH TO THE LAST OF US!" Dalek Sec declared as he powered up his weapon system. The hum of the cannon that was mounted on his arm glowed a bright blue as he got ready to strike Seth with a blow that he hoped would see him releasing Natasha from his hold. He was unlike any other Dalek that had came before him. Being the leader of the Cult of Skaro had marked that and then him being the first ever Dalek to see the wrongs of the Dalek Empire to side with the Doctor and Nightshade. Now he was a part of the Avengers, a group of heroes who defended the Earth from the likes of Seth and Dalek Caan. Now one of them was being threatened and he felt that he had to do something to get Black Widow out of it. She was a part of the team and being a part of the team meant that she was under his protection. A normal Dalek would never look out for other Daleks, but he was far from normal.

Seth flung his head backwards and laughed loudly at the Daleks words. "Wow! I had expected something like that from either Captain America or Optimus Prime! But not you!" he laughed at Dalek Sec.

Dalek Sec took a step forward. He kept his weapons locked on Seth but he froze when he saw Captain America raise his hand up to stop his approach. He stole a glance from Captain America back to Seth. He may have stopped his approach on Seth but he was ready in case he needed to strike and get Natasha out of Seth's hold. "I PROTECT EVERYONE WHO IS A PART OF THIS TEAM!" Dalek Sec shouted back at Seth.

Seth smiled and showed his sharp fangs at Dalek Sec. "That is so unDalek of you! I can see why Dalek Caan has a hatred for you. You are different! You are a stain on the purity that is the Dalek race!" Seth sneered at Dalek Sec. He could see that he was getting to the Dalek. He had spend many hours with Dalek Caan to know what was the best way to annoy the Daleks and he had learned that Dalek Sec was always fearing for his life because he always knew that he was different.

Without any warning or care at all he released his grip on Natasha's neck. She dropped to the ground like a heavy sack of potatoes and was instantly gasping for air to get back into her lungs. Captain America moved quickly to her side as Seth moved away from the downed spy. Rubbing her back he watched as Seth's attention went to Dalek Sec.

"Tell me Dalek Sec how does it feel now that you look different to any other Dalek. You had always been different from other Daleks with your genetics that marked you out for the Emperor to recruit you as a member of the Cult of Skaro. But before you were given that title you were always afraid that the other Daleks would know that you were different. You could feel more emotions other than anger and hatred. That was what helped you to be feared during the Time War as you had a better understanding of the enemies!" Seth said as he walked towards Dalek Sec. He was already breaking Dalek Sec. He just needed to get the former leader of the Cult of Skaro, once he had dealt with him he would move on to both Optimus Prime and Black Panther.

Dalek Sec glared at Seth. "I MAY HAVE BEEN DIFFENT FROM NY DALEK BROTHERS AND YES I MAY HAV E FEARED FOR MY LIFE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER! BUT I WAS A DALEK SUPREME IT DID NOT MATTER IF I HAD DEFECTS AS I HAD USED THEM TO MAKE MYSELF FEARED TO BOTH DALEKS AND ENEMIES ALIKE!" Dalek Sec told Seth. He had made sure that he was feared by other Daleks so that they were too afraid to touch him for his defects. It was because of that that had gained the Emperors attention to as he formed the Cult of Skaro.

Seth's smirk feel but only for a moment. He had not expected that from Dalek Sec. He had hoped that cause him some self doubt. But it would seem that he would need to go with plan B. "Well then. I have someone from your past who would love to meet you once again!" he told Seth with that smirk still on his face.

Dalek Sec was about to ask Seth what he meant by that when he was blasted backwards. He looked up at the source of the blast to see Dalek Caan standing beside Seth.

"DALEK CAAN!"

"DALEK SEC!"

Without any warning of any kind the two Daleks who had once been commander and follower began their fight. Their weapons sang as they fired at each other. It didn't take them long for them to take their fight away from the still recovering Natasha with Steve making sure that she was okay and the just as weakened Optimus Prime and Black Panther.

"So glad to see that you both know each other! Now I am off to do more important things other than play this game with you heroes!" Seth spoke to the other heroes that were gathered around him. Summoning his limited powers he teleported away from the gathered heroes who were still recovering from his attack.
