The flight up to the mountains had being rough. The team had began to think this was hopeless and tried to convince Steve to turn back. He was not going to abandon this just because of some weather. He fought against H.Y.D.R.A in the snowy Alps and it didn't bother him then and why should this be any different.
"We are now reaching the mountain range. So if you guys want to wrap up nice to warm before we land it would be ideal." Natasha called from the cockpit. The guys did as they were instructed and wrapped up in enough layers to make a polar bear look cold. The landing was rough even for Clint who was a experienced pilot.
"Nice landing birdie." Tony said picking himself off the floor. Clint just glared at Tony, as Tony just had a huge grin plastered on his face. They opened the hatch leaning the snowy mountain.
"This is going to be one hell of a search to find her." Tony said to Steve as they began to walk into the unknown. Little did they know something had already found them, it just sat at the peak of the mountain. Watching them with dangerous glowing eyes. And this time they were going to pay.
OoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Lizzie woke up to something nudging her. She opened her eyes and saw the Skrill lying down next to her.
"Good morning." He said as Lizzie sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes.
"Morning to you too" She replied, swinging her legs over the edge of the bed.
"How did you sleep." He asked bringing over a pot off tea in his mouth.
"Like a baby." She replied as she drank the hot liquid the gentle beast had just poured for her. She quickly drank and stood up following the beast as it sat near the water. " Skrill?" The beast looked up at the young blonde haired girl. "Am I going to live here forever?" She asked. A hint of sadness in her voice had made the beast pick her up with its wing.
"No you will not. Because of the blood in your heart, it gives you some powers and knowledge already." He said pointing with the hook on his wing. He sighed before continuing. "Dear child. I know only a few of the answers that you ask yourself, but the rest is for you to find them out yourself." Skrill looked at himself in the water. "I never told you this but I am dying." With that phrase Lizzie eyes began to widen.
"Wait. WHAT. Your dying. Please don't die Skrill." She pleaded with the beast, grabbing the side of its large head. The tears had began to fall. Skrill gave her a nudge and what seemed like a smile.
"Dear child I am too old now. I have lived my life. The questions you seek will be answered." with that the beast stood up walking behind Lizzie and nudging her up on her feet.
"I have some news. Your friends are here on this mountain looking for you." He exclaimed.
"I don't have any friends Skrill." She replied.
"Your father."
"My dad. He's here. On this mountain. Looking for me." Skrill just simply nodded. She nearly yelled with joy and disappointment.
Also there was a man. The billionaire metal man.
"Tony stark? What the hell is he doing here?" she wondered. She shrugged it off and followerd Skrill deeper into the cave.
"Also a scientist who thinks himself a man while hiding his mirrored image. I think his name is Bruce Banner?"
"Is he not the hulk."
"Yes. Also two assassins. One Russian with a red Ledger and a man who acts like is a hawk." He replied.
"I don't know who they are. Wait how do you know these people and what and who they are." she asked, stopping in mid pace.
"A curse my child. A curse. They made me see everything when the men who decided to play God created me. I see it as a curse, but you with your human counterpart will have it as a gift."
"I don't think I want to see everything. I let fate see what is to come and go. But I still find that gift freaky."
"Wise words from someone as young as you."
"I think I have a great teacher." She smiled innocently. They carried on walking in silence and stopped in a dark tunnel. Skrill blew a small amount of fire and caused all the lanterns to light up. With he darkness gone the light revealed the full scale size of the tunnel.
"It is time to show you the way of the Dragon." Lizzie looked at the beast in its eyes. She stood up and followed the beast down the tunnel to a to a stone door as tall as the eye can see.
"Here my dear is the room of knowledge. Behind this door is the pathway to the knowledge I have gathered over the years. I can not come in with you as it not for my eyes to see the the gift that is going to be give to you. Whatever the room throws at you. Don't let it in. Do you understand?" He exclaimed.
"Yes. I do." She simply replied.
"Now follow the sapphire stones my dear. Good luck." With that Lizzie walked through the stone door before it closed up behind her. Seeing Skrill one last time.
"No turning back now Lizzie. What's the worst that could happen?" The stones shone a bright blue. The stones led down to somewhere and this is where she was going to get these answers she yearned for.
After what felt like hours she reached the bottom of the cave. She saw rock statues protecting a tree which was surround by a bright liquid. There was some sort of glow surrounding the tree almost like a barrier. As she stood upon the golden floor the glow began to manifest brighter into something or someone. Lizzie halted and stood very still as the glow began to come closer to her. She looked around her feet the light had began to claw up her leg like a spider on the wall. It was taking off her clothes. After what seemed liked minutes she stood there naked alone in this place. As she walked closer to the tree the earth began to rumble under her.
"I am Elizabeth. The Skrill sent me here." She stood there after announcing herself. The ground began to shake.
"Elizabeth. A voice whispered.
"What do you want from me."
"Come closer." The voice replied. It was almost Lizzie had no control of her actions. It was almost the light was pulling her towards the tree. "The same face I remember all those years ago. Those blue eyes of knowledge." The voice stopped. "They show me that you are hurt dear one. Tell me what has happened."
Lizzie paused for the moment. "I found out about my father and how I came to be on to be on this earth." A tear fell down her cheek. She felt the glow caress her cheek. She looked at the tree and saw what looked that figure staring at her. There was no facial features but Lizzie knew that it was looking at her. The way it hovered like a ghost began to freak her out a bit. But she knew showing her fear would lead to something going wrong.
"You were made to be greater than something. You were made to the be a ruler. A Queen. A Queen of dragons. A Queen of the elements. Of water. Of Light. Of Earth. Of Sky. Of Fire. You have proven your worth to me and the Skrill outside those doors. Now go and prove to everyone you are made of something much stronger than skin and bone." With that last word the light the tree had produced has done. The cherry blossoms had fallen and the tree stood dead in the middle of the chamber. Lizzie looked down to see her dress had changed to the blue in the water in the chamber. The shone with brightness and had precious stones. She noticed her necklace was on the floor at her feet. She bent down and gently picked it up. Lizzie looked back the tree.
She sighed before walking back to to Skrill when a little light hovered around her face.
"Hello there." It did not respond with speech but it bobbed around Lizzie like it was puppy dog. I was almost like Lizzie could understand it. It then rushed off behind the tree.
"Hey where are you going?" She called after it following it behind the now dead tree. She looked around the tree to find the light stopped at a wall with a picture of a white dragon. She looked at her necklace to see the same image matched that of the wall. She noticed a small round hole in the wall. It was the same size as the pendant. The little light kept bobbing around her face.
"So what do you want me to do?" The light floated up to the hole. "You want me to put this into that. The light bobbed around like saying 'Yes' to her question. "OK I can do that."Lizzie tip toed to reach the hole. She then placed the pendant in the hole. The light still stayed where it was. What else? The light then began to turn it clockwise.
The cave began to move as the wall began to light up in the shape of the image that was pictured. Lizzie walked back in front of the tree as the walls began to crack. Then when the wall had opened. Lizzie walked slowly up to the wall looking into the silent darkness that had just being reviled. It was cold and eary. Lizzie could see her breath in the air. As she began to walk closer to the wall, two large eyes opened and stared at her. She slowly backed away but the creature that was lurking in the shadows followed her too. Lizzie tripped on the steps falling backwards. The beast come closer and closer. A black mist camouflaged it, making it impossible for Lizzie to see what it looked like.
"What are you?" She asked. Nothing. The sound of the fear in her voice made the beast lift its head up and opened it's mouth. Then out of nowhere it roared with a sonic blast. Making the walls of the cave rumble. Lizzie curled up into a ball covering her ears as the beasts mighty roar brought down rocks.
OoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The Avengers walked around the mountain searching for any clue of where Lizzie was. Nothing. For 6 hours not a single thing. As they began to call it quits the ground began to rumble.
"What the hell was that." Steve said.
"I have no idea." Clint answered looking around the area.
"I think we better get off this mountain." Bruce said.
"I think that's a good idea." Natasha said.
As they began to run back the way they came. The ground began to give way. Catching the team off guard. The ground then collapsed from under their feet. There was no way they could out run it. They fell into the dark caven below. Screams followed them down with the tones of rock.
