First I want to apologize for the issues and second still don't own anything used in this story.
I do hope you enjoy
"Move, move, out of the way" an older seeming woman carrying a blue cube with tongs shouted as she ran through a well-lit gray hallway running past a bunch of green humanoids with pointed ears. The woman ran to a set of door and pressed a button with her shoulder and throwing the cube past them and immediately turning around to press another button shutting that door and opening another one behind it revealing the void of space that sucked the glowing cube out of the ship
"Um, Mar-vel why did you just launch the stone into space?" a female green humanoid asked and the named Mar-vel was too busy looking out the window to respond. "D-don't we need that in order to complete the engine?" the humanoid asked. Mar-vel didn't answer as a blue light came flooding through the window knocking Mar-vel and the green lady back. Mar-vel got up quickly and ran to the window only to witness a ship bigger than her own floating in space looking to be disabled as there were now lights coming from it
"this might go well, go tell everyone to hide but be ready to evacuate if necessary" Mar-vel told the humanoid before turning around and heading towards the bridge the humanoid alien ran to tell everyone else on the ship.
Break
I gripped my console and pulled myself up, "okay blighted vex gate so far not fun, Kalais, if you're there buddy give me a scan of the area I want to know where we are and if I should get the guns or the engines working" I said turning to where the ghost was before we went into the gate and watched him wobbly float upwards his light flickered before steadying
"yep I'll look" he said before floating over to his dock. I started working on getting the systems up and running starting on shields, then checking the inventory of my materials, weapons, and a few smaller vehicles, everything was there. "Jason we are back at Earth" I stopped what I was doing and turned around
"engines first then, how are the shielding around the shard?" I asked him, I really wanted to get away without Ikora finding out I have a shard of the traveler generating light. "Jason you didn't let me finish we above Earth, but I can't find the traveler or the city." The ghost said this time I completely stopped what I was doing and looked at him "did we time travel? I hesitantly asked him "I don't know, I don't know what's happening. We might need to figure it out later there's a ship nearby, I'm detecting life signs," I looked towards him and stood up grabbing my hand cannon
"okay, I have a few questions to ask them do they have transmat shielding?" I asked him the light shook back and forth cool let me grab my shotgun and then "transma-" I started saying as I appeared in a gray hallway. "That piece of, nope not going to give him this satisfaction," I said before I started walking down the hallway sliding on my helmet keeping my eye on the radar, with my hand cannon loosely gripped.
I turned down a hallway when a red dot came up onto my screen I lifted my hand cannon to a position in front of my chest and turned around a corner only to find a little green alien with elf ears, the little alien jumped back and hid in a divot on the wall, but still peeking out from it. I put up my hand and put my hand cannon on my lower back then making sure the little creature could still see my hands and slowly removed my helmet so my face was visible to it I smiled at it to try and reassure it but my blue face seemed to just scare it even more. I could tell as it shrunk back into the divot, I started forward "I'm not going to hurt you, my ship was brought here, I was hoping to get some help" I spoke softly trying to coax the little creature out. When it peeked out again it looked me in the eyes and moved out of the divot. "Hi, I don't know if you can understand me but I'm not here to hurt you, I just want to know where I am," the little guy stood out from the divot and looked me straight in the eyes
"I can understand you, you don't need to talk to me like an idiot," the little thing said very bravely all of a sudden causing me to stand up very straight "oh um sorry about that, little guy, uh could you help me out though?" I asked and it nodded hesitantly going back to a shy attitude "I don't know, you would have to ask professor Mar-vel," the little thing said, "okay well could you take me to this professor?" I asked it, I got an immediate response via a nod of its head.
It started guiding me down the hall when I decided to ask it a question "by the way this might seem like a rude question but what are you?" the little green person looked up at me "I'm a Skrull, I know that there aren't many of us left, but there are wanted posters on the Kree homeworld how have you not seen them?" the Skrull asked me I looked and her confused "I'm not a Kree" I stated simply and she blinked at me then started walking forward in silence not questioning me further.
Break
We walked into to what I assume was a control room where I saw a human-looking woman frantically running around looking at consoles. I stopped when we got inside, but the little Skrull rushed forward and tapped her arm, the woman didn't even turn around to respond "Tolos not right now I have to find the tesseract again before that ship notices us" the older woman said while still moving around.
"About that professor, they noticed us," Tolos said still trying to get her attention. The women stopped and turned to look at Tolos which led to her seeing me and immediately jumping and diving for what I assume was a weapon I on the other hand just brought my arm up to cover my face "wait I don't want to fight!" I shouted hoping to prevent myself from being shot. I looked at the woman meeting her eyes "you're not Kree" the woman stated simply and put her gun back onto the table letting Tolos move from behind her.
I lowered my arm "no I'm not, I'm what is called an awoken which apparently looks similar to these Kree you keep mentioning, are you human?" I asked the woman she looked at me "no I'm a Kree, you came from that ship out there?" the woman countered both of us digging for information "yes I did, why is a Kree scared of other Kree?" I asked in response to her "because I decided to help instead of harm." She said before turning her back on me to look at her consoles again.
"What are you looking for?" I asked her and she stopped not even looking behind her "the thing that brought you here, what is your name?" she asked guess we're back to the question game "Jason, and yours?" I flipped the question back to her "Mar-vel, I don't know if you could help but I'm looking for a blue cube that is radiating gamma rays?" she asked, and I nodded and I put my helmet back on "Kalais have you been listening?" I asked my ghost who I assume had been connected to my helmet "yeah Jason I've already found the cube there is too much energy to transmat I'll bring it over myself. Would you do me a favor and ask miss Mar-vel to open an airlock for me?" he asked before I responded I thought about what could be done with something that produces too much energy to transmat as a basis I compared it to the shard which had the same problem, I smiled before I realized she said she was helping these people and needs this thing enough to turn her back to a potential danger to herself and her ship to look for this cube, I made my decision concerning this cube.
"My compatriot has already found the cube, I asked earlier if you were human, you were unsurprised by this question, so clearly humanity is here, so I have a question. Will you use this cube to harm the human race in anyway?" I asked with her attention still on me she seemed more confused by my protectiveness of humanity over anything else, it took Tolos poking her to get her out of her thoughts "I would not doom one race, to save another." She said to me there was a lot of emotion behind her voice. I smiled "okay open an airlock and my compatriot will bring the cube in," I told her, she nodded and returned to her console I moved to sit down and Tolos moved over to talk to me.
Break
It didn't take longer than a few minutes for Kalais to arrive with a glowing blue cube in his beam. Both Tolos and Mar-vel looked over surprised by the floating orb, Kalais ignored them and floated over to me "you would not believe, how much energy is coming off this thing Jason." He said while I held out my hand and Kalais dropped the cube into it
"wait don't touch it!" both Tolos and Mar-vel shouted I looked at them surprised, but nothing happened as I held the cube, "what was something supposed to happen?" I asked the two of them they just looked at me "okay, just put the cube in there," Mar-vel said to me while pointing to a machine. I moved and placed the cube into it and the cube began floating, Mar-vel turned to Kalais "and who are you?" she asked the orb obviously having heard him speak. "Me? I'm this guys ghost, I keep him alive," the orb said to her "yeah and you aren't the best at that job," I called back to me his outer ring spun in annoyance "you're alive, aren't you?" The ghost said back "yeah I'm currently alive," I corrected him our argument continuing when we should really be discussing how we can help these people and set up some complicated defense network for the earth.
"Okay well are you a drone piloted by someone on the ship or maybe an advanced artificial intelligence?" Mar-vel asked him with a level of curiosity that only a scientist could have. Unfortunately, the only answer she got was "I'm a ghost," from Kalais she looked to me and I just waved my hand to tell her to let it go "Kalais this earth is still alive, humanity is flourishing. I want to keep it that way, these people are also in need of assistance, whatever theory you have of how we got here forget it. It doesn't matter we are going to safeguard this humanity." I told the ghost his eye glowed brighter to simulate joy his response was immediate "what are we going to do first?"
