Were back folks!
Ready to cause some real crap on mount Olympus?
"If by that, you mean to beat the crap out of some titans. Then YES!" Maverick beamed.
But first, a few words from our fans.
Guest: Thank very much. It will only get better from here.
ZILLAFAN: Batman is DC and Goblin Slayer is from a different anime series. I only introduce new characters that are from Disney or marvel. And i'm not really that familiar with Goblin Slayer. But if you have anyone else in mind let me know.
Also a re-wrote a statement made in the 'Lost In Space' chapter, so the story could fit better with this chapter. Just a statement J'son made about Deathbird returning and killing her sister Lilandra. It still happened, but i changed one of the details. You see when you read this.
So without anymore delays!
LET'S GET DANGEROUS!
Clash Of The Guardians.
Inside the throne room of Castle Corona….
With her son being far across the stars, Elsa focused her mind on dealing with matters in front of her. Like their new guests from outer space.
Elsa and her sister Anna were currently in the throne room with the King and Queen of Corona. Hearing J'son and King Mickey tell them everything about Deathbird's imperial guard and who were their elite members.
While this was going on, Elsa was deep in thought. Being a mother, the Snow Queen felt that she should be worrying for Aiden's safety. But deep down she knew that he would be alright. He suffered worse odds when he traveled around this world alone with a talking tree, he has better odds now that he's become more powerful and well equipped. And with good people this time. The Queen had nothing to worry about, at least not when it comes to Aiden.
Speaking of which.
I'm Maverick
I'm awesome
I got a six pack
I'm awesome
Elsa's charm bracelet played that song again, letting her know her son is calling her right now. So she excused herself and went to an empty corner in the throne room.
She pressed the button on the gemstone and a holographic screen appeared on the wall just like last time. Then Aiden popped up on the screen. He was seen sitting on the ship, looking at his mother on screen.
"Hey Little Spark! I didn't expect to hear from you so soon." Elsa smiled.
"Oh you expected to wait until after the dramatic journey is over and we pull off a tearful Don Bluth reunion?" Aiden quipped. "I'm the Maverick, not Jim Hawkins."
Elsa giggled. "Okay don't get to cocky- wait. What are you wearing?" She said catching Aiden's new set of clothes.
"Oh, this? Yen Sid gave me these on my last birthday." Aiden answered. "And-"
"There magical and you were saving them for a special occasion. Like traveling through the stars." Elsa deadpanned.
" I plead the fifth." Aiden countered humorously. "Also I'm on new world and not the kind Al Jarreau puts us all in."
"Okay? What kind of world?" Elsa smiled and raised an eyebrow.
" Let's just say i think making Uranus jokes would be considered a felony." Aiden hinted.
Aiden was trying to come up with an easy way to tell her. But obviously his mother would worry about him fighting monsters in a coliseum.
In the home of the Greek gods.
"Why?" Elsa asked resisting the suspense.
Aiden sighed. "I'm on-"
"I am Groot!" Groot called from the back. Translate: ' Let's go Aid, it's time!'
" What does he mean? Time for what?" Elsa asked.
" We found the first crystal shard, and we're working on getting it." Aiden said quickly while getting up to leave. " I'm sorry but i gotta go."
"Wait!" Elsa said stopping him. " I just have to ask….Is what your doing, dangerous?"
She couldn't help but ask.
Aiden leaned forward on screen. "Do you trust me, Mom?" Aiden asked.
"You know i do." Elsa said sincerely.
"That's all i needed to hear. Listen I'll be alright, but i have to go. I'll call you later." Aiden said.
"Alright Sweetie. I love you." Elsa said with a smile, and with no sadness in her voice this time.
Elsa knew all would be well with her son.
"I love you two." Aiden smiled back before ending the call.
'I don't have a reason to worry. My son is the Maverick.' Elsa thought with confident smile of her own.
Then the Snow Queen walked back over to Anna and the others, While listening to the King and Queen's conversation with J'son And King Mickey.
"If the Shi'ar are more advanced, then why did Deathbird send space criminals to do her dirty work?" Queen Arianna asked.
"Because the Shi'ar are strict about never wreaking havoc on planets outside of their empire. If Deathbird came here directly, she would lose the throne just for breaking capital law." J'son answered.
" Despite the fact that she killed her sister? And took the throne by force." Elsa pointed out while joining back in to their conversation.
"She didn't take over by starting a cue, it was from a ritual combat." J'son stated. Making the sisters confused.
"Ritual combat? Like in the gladiator arenas?" Anna asked.
"Something like that. Every year the Shi'ar would hold a ceremony for anyone from across the empire to come challenge are leader for the throne." J'son explained. "Deathbird came back after ten years of exile and preparation. Even though she was an outcast, Cal'syee was still the firstborn. That make her obligated. So she challenged her sister legally for the throne. And she won the fight."
That's how Lilandra died.
"And people just accepted her? Just like that?" Elsa asked quirking her eyebrows.
" Yes and no. The Shi'ar council did nothing, since they were always just a bunch of letter biting dicebags. But many people who were still loyal to Lilandra went to war against Deathbird. Including me." J'son sighed. " Deathbird had commanded over an entire Shi'ar armada. Enough to wipe out entire planets. It made my army look like a small ant farm, You can imagine how hard we lost."
"So Deathbird's 'hostile takeover' was completely legal?" King Frederic asked.
"In a cosmic sort of way, yeah. I know It sucks, but that's life for an empire in outer space." J'son said. " Just be glad that she can't bring any of her crap over here. At least Not legally."
"But is there anything we can do?" Anna asked.
"Aiden is already doing it." King Mickey spoke up. "You see, there is a great amount of darkness that's blocking us from entering the empire, even by a gummi ship. But once your son has the entire M'kraan Crystal, we'll be able to open a path way directly into the Shi'ar galaxy and stop Deathbird once and for all."
"But until then, we're all just cheerleaders." J'son shrugged. "Except none of us are named Ashley."
Anna giggled at his statement. Meaning that all they could do is hope and cheer for Aiden's progress.
"Still, that only leaves one matter. How do we deal with our Ravager prisoners?" King Frederic asked.
"Leave them to me. Your Majesty." Mickey said with a smile. "I've contacted some specials from across the galaxy to arrive and take care of them. They should be here soon."
Just then they heard the sound of space ships coming from outside. Entering from the sky, at first the people outside panicked a little thinking it was more of the Ravagers. But then the people saw that the ships had a different color scheme. Who were these aliens?
"Speak of the devil." J'son quipped with a grin know who they were.
"Who are they?" Queen Arianna asked.
Mickey smiled at them. "The Nova Corp. You will definitely want to come meet them. Follow me." He said to the royals of Corona. As they left with the mouse.
"Did anyone ever tell you, that glitter attire of yours, makes you look like Mrs Claus?" J'son asked Elsa.
The Queen blushes but hides it. "My son calls me that all the time." She said walking out.
"You have Christmas on Spartax?!" Anna gasped with a huge smile.
"Yeah well my wife was from Earth, she introduced me to all of the pop cultural media and all of the festive goodness." J'son remarked. "Also i met Santa, he's very real."
"Oh i knew that, Aiden and Yen Sid told us- wait your married?" Anna inquired.
'Darn! he would've been a good match for my sister.' The Princess thought. She had it on her mind the moment she saw him.
J'son smile faltered. "Yeah…..Well i was. She was taken from me thirteen years ago." He said. "Life's not all sunshine and rainbows in outer space."
"Oh, i-i'm sorry to hear that." Anna said feeling guilty for asking.
"It's alright Red. My Amelia was the best thing i had in my life. But Deathbird was the death for everything good i had." J'son said in recollection. "But i better get going, the Nova Corp will want to hear a full report from me and King Mickey about the Ravager."
"Yeah sure. See ya." Anna said watching him leave.
She would join her sister with the others later, but she wanted to go check on her daughter first. But then something just hit her like a giant snowball.
'Wait! Did he just say Amelia?!' Anna thought, then her eyes widened.
Aiden's birth mother was named Amelia!
*****LIGHT BULB!*****
"Could it be?" Anna whispered in shock.
Back at the Olympus Coliseum…..
After defeating Zambron The Crusher, Maverick and his team, the Guardians Of The Multiverse were ready for what's next. What they have to do now is beat five rounds in the tournament in order to win the platinum cup.
While they were getting ready on the fight ring, Phil came over to let them know what to expect next.
"Alright Guardians, we've all heard the old saying 'a hero is always as good as his or her villain'. but here's rule number 57, 'be better.' Got it?" Phil stated while smacking his fist. "Because your opponents for the next three rounds will require you to follow that rule to the letter."
"Okay? But...what about the last two rounds after this next one? Dare i ask." Darkwing Duck asked sarcastically.
"Well then Fowl Play, If you can't go beyond better. Your dead to where you stand!" Phil shot back.
"I am Groot." Groot grinned.
"He says he likes those odds." Maverick translated. "So when do we start?"
"Right…..Now." Phil smirked while walking away.
ROUND 1!
( Ramones - I wanna be sedated)
MONTAGE!
With neon speakers playing Maverick's selected song. The Guardians stood in front of their next opponent. The three-headed hell-hound who guards the Underworld, Cerberus. He roars at the guardians with ferocious rage.
Twenty twenty twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, no where to go o
I wanna be sedated
"Yipe!" Darkwing Duck squeaked with eyed eyes.
"Oh ***k. now i know why Mom never lets me buy a puppy. My top 10 worst fear list, has now become a top 11." Maverick shuddered looking at the teeth.
"Aiden, focus." Victoria said bringing her sword out.
"Right, Darkwing. Get ready to use three of those grenades i gave you." Maverick said pointed at the duck's belt.
"What?! How are small bombs going to bring down that giant Petsmart from hell?!" Darkwing exclaimed in a whisper.
"Just do it. And Groot. Go play fetch." Maverick quipped at Groot, giving him a hint.
Then the match started.
"I am Groot." The tree nodded and sprinted toward the Three headed mutt.
Just get me to the airport,
put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry,
before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I
can't control my brain
Oh no oh oh oh oh
Groot slid underneath Cerberus, while dodging their teeth. And uses his vines to grab their feet. Groot got up and pulled on his arm vines making Cerberus trip and fall flat and face down.
Then Darkwing Duck threw a triple knockout grenade provided by Aiden and threw it at the beast. Once the grenade went off, causing a dark vapor to emit and
Cerberus smelled the gas coming from the grenade. It smelled horrible. Enough to leak tears out of three dog heads and making them pass out.
Thus Cerberus was K.O'ED.
" Huh... note to self, don't let Gosalyn get her hand on these." Darkwing duck said being impressed by the result of knockout grenades.
"What were in those grenades? Victoria asked curiously.
"Um, lets….Just say my uncle owns a reindeer back home, and there's a reason why we don't feed him anymore prunes." Maverick said nervously.
"You know what, forget i asked." Victoria quickly said, not wanting to hear any obvious fart jokes.
ROUND 2
On the next match. The Guardians stand against the skeletal ice titan named Hydros. This titan stood tall and intimidating.
Twenty twenty twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, no where to go o
I wanna be sedated
"OH HELL YEAH!" Maverick whispered pumping his fist in excitement.
"Okay, now your starting to bum me out Mav." Darkwing Duck said looking at him weirdly.
Then the match started.
Just put me in a wheelchair
get me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry
before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
Oh no oh oh oh oh
But before Hydros could attack.
"DROP AND GIVE ME FIFTY!" Maverick pointed to the ground as he bellowed an order to the ice titan.
Hydros being made of ice was now put under Maverick's control. Having the powers of the Snow Queen, this gives him the ability to not only to create ice. But to control ice. So Hydros eyes widened and he obeyed the will of the Snow Queen's son. The ice titan dropped to the ground and started doing push ups. The music stopped and the whole audience went so silent, you could hear a small pin drop. Everyone including the Guardians were shocked seeing Maverick take control of Hydros.
The power to control ice means Maverick has the power to control ice. ALL ICE!
"How in the underworld's bathhouse did that work?!" Phil asked himself while being blown away.
"Uh huh! That's right! When i say BAD, you say ASS!" Maverick rapped humorously. "BAD!
"ASS!" Hydros yelled while doing his push ups.
"BAD!" Maverick Repeated.
"ASS!" Hyros responded.
Even the gods that came to see the match were there. And they were all flabbergasted to see Hydros submit to Maverick's childish commands. Zeus came back over to his seat, with a refilled bag of popcorn. "So, what did i miss?" he asked being curious of what just happened.
How can they ever explain this to Zeus. It was just unbelievable.
ROUND 3
Then the Guardians stood against the rock titan named Lythos. He smashed his rock fists together and let out a roar. For this round, it will take two to tango.
Twenty twenty twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, no where to go o
I wanna be sedated
"We can take him." Victoria grinned.
"It's clobberin time." Maverick agreed as they stood together.
Victoria's lightning and fire powers make her about as strong as the Maverick, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Then the match started.
Just put me in a wheelchair,
get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry
before I go loco
I can't control my fingers,
I can't control my toes
Oh no oh oh oh oh
Victoria Jumped up while turning her body into a bolt of lightning, smacking Lythos up in the air. Maverick ran up and dashed in the speed of neon knocking him to the side.
"Ha! I like her style!" Zeus smiled as the audience cheered and the gods danced to the music.
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, I wanna be sedated
Then Victoria jumped off the wall and Maverick ran back over. As they both came at the rock titan in different directions. Attacking Lythos with tremendous speed and strength as they kept running into him.
After many fast moving hits, Maverick slid under Lythos and slashed both keyblades under him with the power of ice, sending the rock titan screaming into the air.
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, I wanna be sedated
Then Victoria emitted a large swirly plumes of smoke around her arms and lower body. She then launches herself into the sky, and transforms into three balls of fire that swirled into the sky. Once she reached a high enough altitude, the fire balls collide, causing them to re-materialize back into Victoria. She then back-flips in the air whilst smirking to herself and heads back down hard towards Lythos bellow, using fire at her feet to thrust herself and accelerate her descent. Before Victoria hits the ground on top of Lythos, Maverick creates a large Neon shield around the girl and the titan. At that split-second Maverick acted, Victoria then impacts on top of the rock titan, smashing her fist into him and causing an explosion. Thankfully, Maverick's shield kept the explosion contained.
Thus the match was over.
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, I wanna be sedated
Aiden and Victoria planned this super move out before the match, they knew this would work.
Once the shield dropped and the ash cloud cleared, Victoria stepped out in one piece, with the fallen titan behind her.
"On a scale of one to ten, i'd give that a nine." Maverick quipped.
"A nine?" Victoria scoffed walking up to him.
"Yeah well the downgrade is my fault, smokes not good for the lungs or civilians. Besides i prefer to see what happens when we don't need a shield." Maverick stated.
Victoria chuckled. "Whatever, i'd give that a thirty." She said.
"If you did that, the scale would be broken." Maverick pointed out.
"Exactly." Victoria countered.
The crowd and the Greek gods cheered for the Guardians victory. But the games were not over yet.
MONTAGE ENDS
Back in the lobby….
After the fourth match, the Guardians went back to the lobby to talk to Phil and Hercules about the last two matches. Aiden was out of his Maverick suit since he's away from public eye.
"WOW! That was, u-unbelievable!" Hercules exclaimed in amazement. "And when you took over Hydros and the part where you took down Lythos! Where do you learn to do those moves so quickly?!"
"That was actually our first time." Victoria answered with a smirk.
" But learn quickly, she just starts burning. No matter what." Aiden said looking at her. "And now about the secret powers?"
She rose and eyebrow. "Save it for after the blood fest, Frostbite." Victoria said waving him off.
"Fine, but you owe me one after we're done." Aiden held her to it.
"Uh, no i don't." Victoria said giving him a hard look.
"I saved your life." Aiden said back.
"I saved yours back." Victoria countered.
Everyone else was amused by the two fighting like a married couple.
"I stopped Zambron the Buffalo Butt from nailing you to death with his horns." Aiden challenged her.
"And I would've flambeed his ass before he could." Victoria shot back.
"Yeah you would have. Well then i... stopped a poisonous spider from biting you in your sleep before we came here." Aiden lied.
"No." Victoria deadpanned.
"Shit." Aiden gave up.
'Something about those two remind me of Meg and i. Except for the language.' Hercules thought.
"Ahem! If you junior gladiators are done flirting i like to get down to business." Phil said coming over to them.
"Go on ahead. And we're not a couple." Victoria said putting her hand on her hip.
"I am Groot." Groot teased with a smirked, earning a look from Aiden. Translated: 'Oh i know but, like hell your not.'
"Whatever the tree just said, i'm inclined to agree." Phil said with a sarcastic grin of his own. "But i'm not here to play matchmaker, i'm here to inform you on the details of what the last two matches has to offer."
"That's not matchmaking?" Aiden quipped raising an eyebrow, but Phil ignored him.
"In the fourth match, you're going to face a mysterious contender who recently registered just before you won the second match. Don't ask me who, it wouldn't be called a mystery if i told you." Phil said walking back and forth in front of them. "And in the final match, one of you will go toe to toe with Hercules. And since the Maverick is the reason your all here. It will be him fighting Herc in the final fight."
"Or…. We could give the kid a break and put a certain feathered hero in the ring instead." Darkwing duck suggested while patting Aiden on the back. "I mean i'll give our 'Wesley Barker' friend some credit, but he looks like he's ready to collapse in his ice undies."
"Did you just compare me to Beetleborgs?" Aiden inquired.
"Stow it kid, i'm trying to save your hide." Darkwing whispered then spoke up again. "C'mon, what do you say Coach Capretto?"
Phil gave him a blank stare. "Alright. Just try not to get your blood and fathers everywhere. Herc's a nice guy but he's not that careful with birds." Phil agreed.
"C'mon Phil! Those Stymphalian birds weren't my fault, i barely touched them! They popped the moment they ran into me!" Hercules protested.
Darkwing Duck's eyes widened and he chuckled nervously. "Oy vey….On, second thought. Aid here is a big boy, he can handle a few hits." He declined quickly.
"That's what i thought." Phil grinned.
"I am Groot." Groot mocked. Translate: 'I wonder if his real name is Darkwing Cluck, as in chicken.'
"Way too easy pal." Aiden muttered up at the tree. He's right, that joke is too easy.
"And after we beat these last two rounds, we finally win the platinum trophy?" Victoria asked.
"Fair and square." Phil nodded. " So Guardians, are you ready for this?"
"Just try and stop me." Victoria's sarcastic snarky way of saying yes.
Aiden shifted back into Maverick.
"Ditto." Maverick agreed.
"I am Groot." Groot saying yes.
"Let's get competitive….ly dangerous." Darkwing said darkly agreeable.
"Hey, may the best hero win." Hercules smirked saluting Maverick.
"Don't go soft on me in the finals Herc, my pride and armor can take a crap ton." Maverick grinned giving him a peace sign.
Back on the coliseum…
After that the Guardians went back in the field to wait for their next and mysterious opponent. As they stood in the middle of the ring, they waited. For quite a few long minutes.
"I don't know about you, but i hope we're about to fight the hell out of a hydra." Maverick stated humorously. "Cause i would love to drop five hydra heads over Chris Columbus's lawn for making those Percy Jackson films."
"And i don't know about you. But your dreams, are my nightmares." Darkwing said back at him.
"Relax Chicken Nuggets. We got this." Victoria said. "Hopefully. What's taking so long?"
"Yeah i thought Phil said it would start in five minutes." Maverick wondered. "what's keeping-"
Then they hear Phil yelling from the entrance.
"HEY! YOU CAN'T BRING THOSE! THAT'S IN VIOLATION OF YOUR REGIST-" Phil gets smacked back someone, sending him a few feet above the Colosseum. "-STRAAAATIOOOOON!"
Maverick flew up and caught him and brought him back down to the others.
"You alright?" Maverick asked the satyr.
"Oy, yeah. I think." Phil said rubbing his jaw. "That guy can't really pack a- BEHIND YOU!"
Maverick turns only to be met with a hard punch to his face. Knocking him down to the ground.
"Ugh…" Maverick moans and turn over only to see Victoria and the rest get knocked down as well.
Even Hercules gets knocked flat on his back. But he, Maverick and the Guardians rose back up on their feet and stood together with the demigod hero, against the mysterious attacker that was standing in front of them.
It was Taskmaster. He is their real next opponent.
"How's it going Maverick? Ready for round two?" Taskmaster said darkly with his bow staff out.
Then a numerous swarm of insect alien invaders called the Brood, surrounded the audience, including the gods themselves. The crowd panicked but the Greek gods stood strong, though these aliens may be too advance for even Zeus to handle.
With the gods occupied with the Brood that were about to attack, Maverick and his friend were the only ones standing against Taskmaster.
But would they be enough to handle him?
To Be Continued….
That's all for now folks!
That's right! Taskmaster registered for the games and he's not playing by the rules. And before anyone says that Maverick's powers can handle him, Taskmaster in this story is wearing a suit that's impervious to all elemental powers.
That's one of the reasons why Victoria was running. And how he was able to knock her down with the other Guardians.
"You just had to make it hard for me didn't you?" Victoria glared.
"Yeah the author can be a huge prick sometimes." Aiden muttered quietly.
I heard that. BTW Let me know what do you think about the Nova Corp being in this story.
Also Elsa is still has faith in Aiden and doesn't worry about his safety at the moment, even though she's oblivious of the battle he's in ceriantly.
But don't worry folks, not matter what the Snow Queen will always be in good terms with her adopted son the Maverick.
Also i we now know that Deathbird took control of the throne of Shi'ar legally, from defeating and killing her sister in ritual combat.
Which made J'son and his family traitors for not submitting to Deathbird's rule and defying her all those years ago.
But on top of that. Anna suspects something about J'son that they don't even know about, or even him for what matter. It could be that the Amelia she's thinking off might have gotten out alive without J'son knowing. And he thinks she was dead at the time when Deathbird took over and went to war on the people of Spartax.
Could it be possible.
"Oh come on! You know were not idiots you and i hinted about this since the end of my last story!" Aiden exclaimed.
Okay i know i've hinted about this for a while now, but it was never supposed to be secret. I'm just building up the suspense of when will everyone find out the true about J'son.
So for those that might be new to this story now. No more hints from the author…... except for what's said in the story.
But here's a secret. Victoria's background, and i can promise you she and Aiden are not siblings.
"Thank God." Victoria and Aiden said at the same time.
But what's the story behind her powers?
What else will Anna find out?
And how will Maverick and his friends beat Taskmaster and save Olympus from the Brood?
Find out in the next chapter! And as always Square Enix and Disney fans!
FISTBUMP!
