Chapter 9
AN: hey guys thanks for the review, thank you the guests that reviewed and Lynx Wilde for your comments, you were right as promised here is the next chapter, always glad to hear from you. I do not own any marvel characters.
"And who is it that is going to invade this planet?" Sif asked
"The Enemy," She threw back shortly.
"And who is that?"
"That is what they are called- the Enemy- they had a name many years ago, but that is long lost. They simply go by the Enemy; however for such a simple name they are far from being so. They are more advanced in things such as war methods than even you Asguardians. They are second best in all universes." Alex explained, rather annoyed at having a questions and answers session in the middle of a street.
"Out of curiosity, who is the first?" May interjected,
"A force not to be reckoned with. The true guardians of the galaxies." Alex replied
"So what are they? Some form of gods?"
"Blasphemy there is only…" Alex stopped a little too late.
"Only?"
"Only nothing, there is a bigger problem to concern your-self with."
"I have never heard of these species." Sif remarked, still eyeing the girl.
"Neither have we." Maria added
"But, you have, you have …"Once again she reigned herself back.
"We have?" May asked, again picking up on the small blunders.
"Lucifer, the leader of The Enemy will come for her first. Then he will attack. If he cannot find her he will attack first, slaughtering innocents until he calls for a seize fire to demand that you hand her over. He will say that they will leave after, that no more blood will have to be spilled. He will lie, he has no honour. He will break the code of truce in a heartbeat once he gets what he wants." Alex growled angrily.
"How will he know who she is?" May asked
"The same way the Pilgraets found her through her sent and aura."
"What's, 'aura'?" Skye asked, more than a little alarmed.
"Aura is your essence of sorts; every living creature has their own aura. Just like how you have fingerprints or DNA, which I understand to be more comparable now, some species can read peoples' auras and track them. They know yours, because on earth peoples auras are weak -no offence- so yours stands out. Especially when you use your gift, it is kind of like a beacon that says 'I AM RIGHT HERE!'
Lucifer is a known tracker, so I'm guessing when the Obelisk roused your gift; he probably started his march this way. Lucky for us, he has never actually been near this universe before. So have got some time to prepare as he works his way here, not to mention the time it'll take to transport his army across such a distance." Alex explained more gently.
"How long do you reckon we have?" Maria snapped, the seriousness beginning to weigh on her.
"He would have started shortly after your transformation," She nodded towards Skye, "That was what? Five-six weeks ago so I'd say… sometime by the end of the week."
Chaos answered her.
"Let them come, we will help you fight them off."Lady Sif retorted.
"A noble response, pointless, but noble," She smirked grimly, "If you get your warriors here, they will die here."
"Are saying that we don't have a chance?" Maria asked
"Not with your fighting methods. The Asguardians may put a dent in the Enemy's armour, but nothing more, your bullets will just bounce off of them, Stark's weapons will only make loud noises and make a tiny fire. They know your weapon systems; everyone does due to the Chatarrie invasion. Very few will go up against you, some because they see that there is nothing here of interest, but no one will stand against The Enemy. Those who have, fall to them. They are not the Chatarrie. They're not connected to a mother-ship like the one Stark blew up. They are smarter and fiercer than any other species." Alex ominously declared.
"So how do we stop them?" May asked
"They have never been defeated before. This fact alone intimidates their opponents into surrender. Not surprisingly, they're arrogant. And I think it is time someone stands up to them, don't you?" Alex announced, smiling slyly at each woman in turn.
