Disclaimer: Goes without saying but I do not own Bruce Banner nor the Hulk nor any other Marvel character herein included. They're the properties of the original creators as dictated by official documents, whom you can find out more about in Wikipedia or something. Stan Lee, Marvel Comics, etc.
The Anolians and every related character/lore are invented by me, as is the overarching plot, but obviously, I don't own it. Still Marvel.
Rating: T for a bit of violence. I censor profanity like they would in a comic, if I ever use it.
PART 8: Captain Marvel
Captain Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel, stood in front of Geena and absorbed as much of the blast as she could. It hurt very much for one second since it was a weird energy signature that she wasn't familiar with, but she quickly adapted and absorbed it. That part of the experience was pretty familiar.
Carol could see it storming up into the sky, forming a beacon. That meant it completely tore through the massive tree, opening a massive tear across its side. As it dissipated, she saw Wonder Man's energy flow battling the explosion. He was standing with both his arms open, shaping an ionic shield into a cone-like structure that protected most everyone inside the tree palace.
The rebel leader was all but gone, as were three of the eight members of the presidency, plus half their guards.
At the end of it all, Captain Marvel was left beaming with all the absorbed power, and Wonder Man was shining with his particular energy.
"Whoah," Geena said, carefully touching Carol's back with her finger. "Wow."
"What is happening? Over," War-Machine asked.
The silence and shock were broken by a sleuth of explosions, happening far away, but close enough. Happening near the outskirts of the city.
"The outworlders are helping the rebels!" the woman president screeched, pointing its vines at the three. "Unite them! Unite them with the eeaaartthhh."
The Anolian rifles charged and opened fire, but Wonder Man moved and reshaped his shield, sucking it into an arch that successfully protected the three of them. There was a massive crater where the explosion had happened, so he had to float to them.
Streaks of yellow beams struck at the shield, all while the presidency sent in orders to several different entities.
"They are attacking from the north-west, respond immediately!"
"Evacuate due east!"
"Secure the granaries, they must not destroy our food supply!"
"Your orders, captain," Wonder Man requested, looking worried. Carol watched the presidency with spite, and all she wanted was to charge in and end them all. But she couldn't let that affect her judgment.
"Nova, bring the Chosen to the capital and protect him at all costs. We will broadcast his testimony to the Anolians. Over."
"What do the rest of us do?" Mr. Immortal asked.
"Are you under attack? Over!" War-Machine asked.
"Not for long," Captain Marvel said, growling. Captain Marvel's body was glowing with charged up energy, which made her feel as good as anything could. That was still nothing when compared to the lack of doubts. They were all gone now that she knew exactly what to do.
"Get back to the ship, War-Machine, they might attack it. Sunfire, stop the rebel attacks. Geena, Wonder Man, we will take over whatever facility we need to use to broadcast. I'll find out which."
Carol flew back and over Wonder Man's shield. The yellow light beams concentrated on her, but she just absorbed them, powering up further. She was already strong enough to handle their kinetic force, so she wasn't even flinching.
Captain Marvel took a breath, concentrating the energy, and then let out a little bit of it with a yell. She punched forward with her hands, blasting the floor near some of the guards with photon light energy. It heated up and erupted, blowing them against the walls of the shattered tree. She turned her body in the air, doing the same to pretty much everyone there.
"Grab a president, Geena."
"You got it!" yelled the girl, running off after a member of the presidency. She was quite agile, all things considered. Geena hopped and dove, rolling forward, and quickly got to one of the presidents. She placed her rifle against his head and dragged him over on the threat of death, using him as a shield while she was at it. More guardsmen came to the aid of their leaders, but Carol blasted the entrance to gain time.
Carol felt great. It always felt amazing to have the power of Binary again. Wonder Man was still just maintaining his shield, though. Still, that should be more than enough.
Just as they had discussed before, the Anolians weren't very brave. The president agreed to show them to the broadcasting facility without much coercion.
"Just don't unite me with the earth, please! I'm too young to be united with the earth!"
"I have engaged the rebels," Sunfire reported, "Nova should be with you in but a minute. What is the policy on collateral damage?"
"Self-defense only," Carol said as fast as she could. "Kill as a last resort."
"Fine," Sunfire said, annoyed. "I will not kill anyone," he said, meaning to say the Anolians couldn't possibly pose any danger to him.
"Wonder Man, you'll take Geena and follow me." Captain Marvel grabbed hold of the helpful president, the one with the slithering voice. "Up up and away, mister president."
Grabbing hold of him, Carol blasted off the floor and out the top of the tree that had been blown up. Flying fast and with purpose.
Part End: Thank you for reading, please consider leaving a review if you have the time.
No one can stand against Avengers: Intergalactic! The Galaxy's Mightiest Heroes. But they can trick them, though. Find out how when next we return.
This story and Spider-man: Repulse are heavily connected by lore, even though they're not connected by plot. All my marvel stories are in the same universe, and following an overarching plot. Just in case you want to give that a read.
