King and Ancient One!?
The plane lands on a runway waking Vaelk from his nap. He looks around and scans the area in the plane and outside of the plane. He picks up several heat signatures but none are armed or show signs of hostility. He looks to his mother he exhales and stands before smiling at him. His mother has been very nervous about returning home and Vaelk will finally know why. He has been distracted because of Kori but his attention is focused now. As they step of the plane Vaelk looks around for something to tell him where they are as he slept through most of the flight. Well slept as in spent most of his time in cyberspace. He tilts his head when he learns they are in Vlatava; an Eastern European country. It is a medium sized country ruled by a king. Descending down the plane steps the two are met by several men with glasses on. Vaelk scans them and knows they are professionals. But he knows they won't attack them.
"Princess Victoria and Prince Vaelk, we've been expecting you." Says the leader with a bow making Vaelk tilt his head. He was not expecting that. On the ride he begins to put the pieces together. His mother is a princess and no doubt she was engaged to someone. She obviously did not agree and married his father. She of course left her home and never returned. He turns to his mother who seems downcast.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Says his mother making him tilt his head.
"Everyone is entitled to their secrets mother." Assured Vaelk making his mother look out the window.
"It's been some time since I've come here." Muses Victoria making Vaelk grasp her hand. Victoria widens her eyes before smiling and hugging Vaelk he sighs at the display of affection. The car stops making the two look out the window. Vaelk whistles when he sees a massive palace before he exits the car with his mother.
They are greeted by a two lines of maids who welcome them. Vaelk spots cameras and various other security measures all made by the Nebula Corporation. He ignores the greetings but nods his head while he scans the area. They are both stopped by an elderly man who looks stern. He looks at the two before staring hard at Victoria who sighs and steps forward.
"Abraham, it is good to see you're still living." Says Victoria making the butler smile.
"Still as cheeky as ever my lady, and you've even hid your natural hair; along with your own son, disappointing." Says Abraham making Victoria narrow her eyes before she sighs and pulls out a small bottle. She looks to Vaelk who nods before they pour the contents of the bottle on their hair. It acts quickly as the black hair dye fades to show white hair on both of them. Victoria takes out her contacts to show brilliant blue eyes.
"Follow me." States Abraham as Vaelk looks to his mother who nods. They walk into the palace making the various people gasp and whisper. They ignore the whispers and walk to a lift. Abraham steps in first followed by Victoria and Vaelk. The ride is silent as no one says anything. Vaelk continues to scan the area before he picks up to signatures. Vaelk scans the two and notices that they both have internal problems.
The lift stops on the same floor before mother and son follow the butler. They stop at a large jewel covered door before Abraham knocks. He then enters while gesturing for the two to wait out here. Minutes go by before the doors open and the butler comes back out.
"He wishes to see you alone." States Abraham to Victoria who nods her head. Vaelk glances at her and nods his head. He will be watching anyways.
"Your son can stay out here with your niece." Says Abraham making Vaelk surprised that he has a cousin. From behind the butler comes a young girl with delicate features reminding Vaelk of himself. She has green eyes and chin-length blonde hair that is swept back behind her ears. She has dark, arched eyebrows.
"This is princess Perdita." Says Abraham making the girl do a curtsy. Victoria looks at her and smiles. Vaelk already knows that his mother's sister has passed on due to a heart condition. Evidently it was passed on to the young girl as Vaelk can tell. The girl stares at him and the two analyze each other. Vaelk is impressed as the girl immediately recognized she was out matched and simply nodded her head at him.
Victoria walks into the room leaving the teen alone with the kid. The two sit in silence as Perdita plays with her doll while glancing at Vaelk who scans the area. He looks down at the girl who tilts her head with curiosity.
"What?" Asks Vaelk getting tired of the staring. Perdita looks at him before looking away.
"Are you really my cousin?" Asks Perdita making Vaelk shrug.
"I didn't even know I was a prince until 30 minutes ago." Says Vaelk getting a giggle from Perdita.
"I hope you are." Whispers Perdita but Vaelk still heard her. He then scans the girl with deduction. Age 10, spirited, joyful, but lonely, wishes for family, loves to play going by her doll, fearful of the future and wishes for an older sibling. Deduces Vaelk.
In the room Victoria sits down on a chair to the right of an aged man hooked up to medical machines. She then picks up the medical chart and looks through it. Her face saddens before she sighs.
"The doctors tell me it's bad." Says the aged man making Victoria look to him. His heart is nearly covered in a tumor. There is nothing she can do.
"I'm afraid so…father." Says Victoria while looking away.
"Well that is to be expected, but I'm not scared." Says the man making a small smile.
"I'll get to see your mother again." States the man making Victoria close her eyes. The man looks to her and sighs.
"I'm not saying this to put you down," assures the man making Victoria loosen up, "she loved you till the day she died." Victoria turns to the man.
"Father, I can't save you so why send for me," asks Victoria with her soft tone, "it is not secret that you are disappointed in me." The man looks at her before sighing before he coughs. Victoria looks at him before passing him some water.
"Is it so wrong for me to see my only living daughter?" Asks the man after drinking.
"Sarah never forgave me for leaving you alone." Says the man with a cough. Victoria stiffens when she hears the name of her sister.
"I didn't know how to forgive you and before I knew it, so much time had gone by." Says the man making Victoria nod her head.
"I never hated you for that father." Says Victoria as she knew what she did embarrassed her family.
"I see that your son has grown to become a fine man." Says her father making Victoria nod her head.
"Where is his father?" Asks the man making Victoria downcast.
"Gone." Says Victoria making her father grasp her hand. He thinks he is dead but in reality he's not even in this galaxy.
"I'm sorry to hear that, even though I did not approve he seemed like a good man." Says her father making Victoria nod her head with a smile. The man then enters a coughing fit making Victoria give a pill to calm him.
"My daughter my time is running out here." Says her father making Victoria widen her eyes. She of course knows that he can't live long but she still loves her father no matter their past. She take a breath to calm herself and nods making her father smile at her level headiness.
"You know why I called you here even though you do not want to think about it." Says her father making Victoria turn away.
"You must take the throne when I pass on." Says her father making Victoria glance at him.
Outside Vaelk has decided to entertain his cousin by doing magic tricks. He smiles when she widens her eyes and claps. He is of course still watching his mother and monitoring her heart beat. Suddenly though he picks up another person coming up the lift. He narrows his eyes as this man seems angry.
He stops his magic tricks and looks to the lift making Perdita look with him. She narrows her eyes when she sees a man she is familiar with. Vaelk analyzes the man and he doesn't like what he sees. Arrogant and cold, cares for nothing but himself and power hungry are just some of the things he picks up. He is a Caucasian male with blue eyes, white hair slicked back and a widow's peak hairline. He wears a lime blazer on top of a brown waistcoat and a dark green ascot with a golden broche. He also dons a dark green cape and matching pants and gloves.
The man steps up to the door before he spots Perdita and Vaelk. He glares at the girl while he stares at the boy.
"What is this peasant doing in the palace, guards remove him." Says Vertigo making Vaelk narrow his eyes. He then notices the difference in their accents and changes his voice to suit the area he is in.
"My name is Vaelk Nebula, son of Victoria Nebula and we were invited here." Says Vaelk in a thick eastern European accent. The moment he mentioned Victoria the man's eyes narrowed before he turns away. He is opens the doors with Vaelk right behind him.
Victoria looks to the doors and spots her son with someone she doesn't like very much. Her father looks to the man before glancing at Vaelk who wears a stoic face.
"Father I've come like you asked." Says Vertigo with a bow. He then stands and looks to Victoria.
"Sister I had no idea you would be here with your son." Says Vertigo making Victoria nod her head. Vaelk glances at the man and scoffs at his uncle. All the while his grandfather stares at him.
"Vertigo I've decided who to name my heir." Says the elderly man while coughing. Vertigo smiles before sitting in a chair.
"Father it seems I should take the throne right now to save you the stress of running the kingdom." Says Vertigo before his father looks to him.
"No, my heir will be your sister Victoria." States the elderly man making Vertigo freeze.
"What?" States Vertigo making Victoria turn away.
"Well that was the plan but it seems she does not want the throne as she runs a global Corporation." Says the man making Vertigo smile.
"So we talked and I've come to a decision," says the man making Vertigo smile and Victoria look to Vaelk before mouthing 'I'm sorry' to him, "Victoria's first on only son will take the throne when is pass." Vaelk is unfazed by the revelation but is surprised. He looks to his mother who can't even look at him. Vaelk sighs before grasping her hand and smiling at her. Victoria covers her mouth and hugs him.
"I'm sorry that I pushed this burden upon you, I just can't be a ruler." Says Victoria while Vaelk runs her back. Control over an entire country. Analysis confirms this would be beneficial. Request to use this to save the primitive humans from themselves. Rants his inner voice making Vaelk nod his head. This could be beneficial to him. Perdita grabs his hand with a small smile making Vaelk form a small smile.
"You can't be serious!" Yells Vertigo ruining the scene. Vaelk moves in front of his family while Perdita is grabbed by Victoria.
"This is the best for the country my son." Says the elderly man.
"You give my birthright over to a child and say that it is for the betterment of the country!" Shouts Vertigo before several guards show up and restrain him.
"Look at yourself Vertigo, you can't even control your pride and ego to see that you are not suited to be ruler." Says Victoria making Vertigo livid.
"MY DESCISION IS FINAL UNDERSTAND!" Shouts the elderly man making Vertigo stop and growl.
"Understood…father." Growls Vertigo before leaving the room. As he leaves the old man coughs before blood drips down his mouth. Vaelk scans the man and even with his advanced technology and magic he could not save this man who is so close to death.
"Come child." Says the man making Vaelk walk up to him. He scans the man and finds happiness, love, longing, and acceptance. The human does not fear death. May you pass in peace old one. Says the voice in his head. Vaelk stands still as the elderly man's hands run across his face.
"Ah how I wish I got to know you more, but it seems my own arrogance stopped me from that." Says the man as his hand loses strength. Vaelk catches his hand and presses it against his cheek. He makes sure that the old man can feel the blood running through and the warmth.
"I too wish we could have met sooner, Grandfather." Says Vaelk as he knows what type of person this man is and was.
"Look after them for me will you." States the man as he breathing becomes raspy. Vaelk looks to Victoria and Perdita before nodding his head. The old man's hand goes limp and he stops breathing making Vaelk lower his hand over the chest. Perdita starts to cry while his mother sheds tears for her father. Vaelk looks down at the body before he looks away.
"Farewell… Lord Grandfather." Says Vaelk as he turns and the guards and maids bow to him.
The camera turns black to a rainy day where citizens of Vlatava shed tears for their dead king. Vaelk and his family stand near the coffin before the body is frozen and placed into a tomb. The tomb acts like a freezer to keep the bodies of the past kings unfazed by time.
Days later the people begin to rejoice as Vaelk crouches on his knee before a silver crown is placed on his head. He stands as his royal cape moves behind him before he sits on the throne. The ceremony is live all over the world. Vaelk does not smile and instead remains impassive but smiles when Perdita hugs him albeit a small smile.
Months Later
Vaelk has been busy all day every day. Due to being a hero and king he is never bored. As king he has expanded his kingdom and uniting with several smaller countries around Vlatava. Most simply united to get income and safety while others did so because their neighbors did. Now Vlatava is one of the wealthiest nations in the world as well as the most advanced. The Nebula Corporation remains global but the main office is stationed in Vlatava. He is also become very fond of Perdita and thinks of her as his younger sister. Also he has expanded his cyber world to reach across his kingdom meaning he knows everything that happens in his kingdom while he is connected to the cyberspace all across the world.
He has also been busy fighting as a hero all across the world. But most times the villains show up in Vlatava. New villain are popping up all over the world. But with his magic and tech he ends the threat quickly. However lately he has been feeling something far off calling him. He feels magic from the call making him intrigued.
Now he travels to Nepal under the guise of Genisys while his decoy acts as king in his stead. He lands in an ally where there seems to be singing coming from it. Female by the voice.
Praise for the high tide, Praise for the seaside, Praise for the sun at high noon.
Praise for the lightning, Praise for the singing. Praise the Father sun, And sister Moon
Praise for the red dawn, Grass that we walk upon, Praise for the river's whispered tune.
Praise for the Wind Brother, Praise for the Earth Mother. Praise the Father Sun, And Sister Moon.
Praise the Father Sun, And Sister Moon.
Vaelk listens to the music before walking towards a cloaked figure who walks into an open door. Vaelk scans the room using techno magic and picks up high levels of sorcery. He walks in with is guard up.
"Defense mode activated." Says his inner voice as he blocks and grabs the forearm of a man who attacks him. Vaelk counters and punches the man in the gut bringing him down before more men attack. Vaelk scans them. He dodges a punch and breaks the arm before punching a man straight in the face making his head snap back. He then electrocutes one man with the Lightning ring. He ducks under a kick before raising his hand making the man slam into the ceiling with the Daimonic ring. He shoots up several propulsion-concussion beams from his hands that send the men flying into walls or out windows before he blocks a fist and head butts another man. He then covers himself in a wind vortex that expands and blows the other men out of the room with significant damage to the building. He sees more men stand in front of him before he sighs and high pitched sonic frequency attacks the enemy's auditory system, overloading their nervous system and causes their entire body to lock up and become paralyzed. They pale and their veins become visible while Vaelk walks over their bodies.
Sitting down waiting for him is the same woman that was singing but this time she has her hood off as she sips tea. Behind her stands a man wielding a staff of some sort with a stoic gaze met with Genisys's own. Suddenly the man attacks as the staff extends. Genisys dodges the staff before hitting the man with his sonic cannon that sends the man into wall. The man stands before he jumps and using his agility appears behind Genisys whose eyes scan the man vigorously. The man punches only to grasp his hand in pain before Genisys launches a back kick that the man blocks with his staff. His eyes then zoom in on his boot before Genisys steps forward and cracks the ground when the man takes a step back. However the man freezes and looks down when he sees his feet are frozen.
"Naisolpxe Ecrof (Force Explosion)!" Says Genisys launching the man back and into a wall that cracks before he falls to the ground. Genisys steps up to him before grabbing his boots and putting them on. He jumps and goes right through the roof as the woman sips her tea. Genisys lands and looks around before using magic to fix the room.
"Impressive use of your magic." Says the woman as she pours more tea. Genisys scans the woman.
"Scanning… Threat level: Maximum." Says the voice in his head as Genisys activates his weapons.
"Recommend preemptive strike." Says the voice as Genisys forms magic over his hands and aim at the woman.
"Relax I called you here to talk, not to fight." Says the woman and judging by her face and heart beat she is telling the truth. Genisys lowers his weapon before sitting in front of the woman. He is given a cup of tea before he drinks it making the woman smile.
"How do you know I didn't poison that?" asks the woman making Genisys look to her.
"Even if you did my Nano bots would have filtered out the poison and alerted me before the drink touched my mouth." Says Genisys.
"Indeed your magic is on I've rarely seen but you are very adept at it." Says the woman with intrigue. She then sips the tea in her hand before standing while Genisys stands at the same time.
"I called you here to teach you more about magic, of course I had to see if you were worthy." Says the woman as she walks followed by Genisys.
"Why?" Demands Genisys while preparing for combat.
"Because that is my destiny just as it is yours to become the leader of the Masters of the Mystic Arts." Says the woman before she palms Genisys who enters an astral form. His form is a body of code while hers is the same but see through. She raises her hand when Genisys begins to chant backwards.
"I'm just showing you what lies beyond the reach of this world." Says the woman as Genisys sees different worlds and places. He is shown many things but one makes him narrow his eyes. He spots a great darkness that roars at him. Suddenly it changes to an image of two planets at war. One radiates with light while the other with darkness. He sees the symbols for Alpha and Omega appear before he renters his body. As he does he sees a dimension of pure code making him widen his eyes.
"Yes there is even a dimension of pure code that I will teach you how to reach." Says the woman with a smile making Genisys look to her.
"When do we begin?" Says Genisys with a flash of blue eyes. The woman smiles before she forms a magic circle in the air while Genisys forms a blue one.
Ok so I made this chapter the same day as the last. But for those who guessed it yes i'm making Vaelk ruler of his own kingdom because well Doctor Doom is badass and Vaelk is sort of like him. There will be a time skip to the first episode of Young Justice as I've delayed long enough.
Starfire will be a part of the team just because it would have been awesome to have her on the team. When he appears he will be even more connected to the cyber world so he will view human life as… irrelevant. But he will still be a hero. His magic will be even more powerful and combined with his technology he will be a badass but not to overpowered.
As for magic relics I was thinking of giving him the Vaulting Boots of Valtorr from Doctor Strange, as well as the Cloak of Levitation, and The Eye of Agamotto. Now the Infinity Stones will be a part of the story as he already has two if you guys didn't notice.
The Mind Stone- His brain is one with the mind stone. Gifted by his father when he was first formed. Translation when he was still just a fetus. Grants unprecedented intelligence also making him impassive to things that would faze normal people.
The Space Stone- His heart is one with the space stone. Gifted by his father when he was first formed. Translation when he was still just a fetus. Grants him unlimited energy and the ability to traverse the universe.
The Time Stone- Worn by Genisys in battle across his neck after time skip.
Gauntlets of Mars- OC creation granting him strength and power. Merged with body. Able to deflect energy attacks.
Eyes of Dashi and Hanabi and Crystal Glasses - fused from the Shen Gong Wu of Xiaolin Showdown. Fused with his own eyes. Giving him lightning flame vision which comes out of… you guessed it his eyes. Also the ability to foretell the future but only 10 seconds.
Third Arm Sash- wrapped around his waist.
And many others that he doesn't carry with him but can pull out from space.
