Somewhere near a planet, a small S.H.I.E.L.D. space ship, which was given as a gift by the Skrulls that now work for the agency, had been passing through several systems. Given the name Quake, the crew members onboard the space ship were Daisy Louise Johnson, Leopold James Fitz, Jemma Anne Simmons, James Davis, and Piper Baines, who were all going on a diplomatic mission to negotiate with the Kree, the very beings responsible for the creation of the Inhumans. As for the Kree, they are scientifically and technologically advanced militaristic race of mostly blue-skinned humanoids who the rulers of the Kree Empire, a large, interstellar imperial group that encompasses various planets, and features the Sakaaran species as a client race. Many were known to be very deceitful and savage in a way. Wars between the Kree and other races is renownedly frequent and has brought a negative viewpoint upon their culture by other civilizations.
Daisy hated the idea in wanting to go to the planet Hala, for she feared that the Kree would try to keep her prisoner and make into a weapon like Kasius had back on Kegger 24-7. However, Captain Marvel, Thor, Ms. Marvel, Blue Marvel, Jalene, Talos, Councilor Lena Sendak, Matani Tivan, Doctor Strange, Pkzkrfmknna, Irani Rael, Athena Parthenos, Vision, Wanda Maximoff, the Le Pym Couple, and the Guardians of the Galaxy would be among those to attend the peace conference, making sure that the Kree won't break their word. King Blackagar Boltagon and his wife Queen Medusalith Amaquelin were invited as well and would be the only ones to go to Hala with Talos since they didn't want to bring the others along also. Medusalith's adopted human sister Verna Adams also wanted to attend since she was good at negotiating, even though she felt nervous of how the Kree would react about a human being a negotiator.
Daisy Louise Johnson, who everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. calls her Quake, had recently became the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. on behalf of her father figure and friend Phillip Jamie Coulson, and former Director Ben Morse, who survived Thanos' genocide and was responsible for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s third incarnation. Daisy never thought it would be easy to become the next director, but she was willing to do anything she could since she had the experience as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.. She really doesn't like to be late for this peace conference. However, while on the way to Hala, the Kree's capital world, Daisy and her team were suddenly ambushed by a ship crewed by Sakaaran Native Mercenaries, who probably worked for Mad Titan Thanos Rex during his reign in trying to bring balance to the universe by eliminating 50% of life. Daisy and her team quickly take action in keeping the ship active and try to get off their tale.
"Why is this day turning to be day when we're getting shot at?!" Agent Red exclaimed whiel flying with Piper Baines.
"What is their problem?!" Agent Simmons exclaimed while trying to fix up the Jump Drive.
"Well, I don't know!" Agent Fitz cried out in a panic.
"If anyone is crying from the back, can somebody tell us when the Jump Drive will be ready?" Agent Baines asked.
"In a moment Piper," Agent Simmons replied.
"Well this is the second time they try to hit us!" Agent Red shouted while flying the Quake across space and started to panic. "Director, any suggestions?!"
"FitzSimmons, fire up the Jump Drive!" Quake shouted. "Its now or never!"
"What... now?!" Agent Fitz gasped in pure confusion.
"Fitz, c'mon, let's do this!" Agent Simmons shouted.
Fitz tried to say something. "But we haven't..."
"Just do it!" Quake exclaimed.
Without hesitating, Leopold Fitz and Jemma Anne Simmons quickly set the coordinates to an unknown location and prepare the jump drive within this ship to go through hyperspace at once in order to get away from the enemy. Within seconds, FitzSimmons managed to activate the jump drive and the Quake safely goes through hyperspace, and after more than twenty minutes the most, the ship emerged from hyperspace up in a different solar system and sets orbit over a massive planet. The planet was beautiful to look at and the team can see that it was covered with continents of green and blue oceans. James Davis and Piper Baines keep the ship in orbit over the planet.
"Are we here?" Agent Baines asked, staring at the view of the planet.
"Is this Hala?" Quake asked, wondering if she and her team arrived.
"Don't know," Agent Red answered, checking the scans on the planet. "The scans aren't reading it. No name. Whatever this planet or this solar system we're at, it has no name in any of our charts."
"Maybe we made the wrong turn," Agent Baines assumed.
"You know Piper, I can always check the map again," Agent Red suggested and checks the map of the galaxy. "Pretty sure it'll tell us where we are."
"What does it say?" Agent Baines asked.
"Uh, we're still miles away from Hala," Agent Red answered.
"Well if this isn't Hala, then we need to make the jump again," Quake said as she walked over between them.
"I don't know if that's gonna happen, director," Agent Red said, checking the scans of the ship. "A few parts of our ship are damaged due to the attack. The fuel to the Jump Drive is leaking."
"Well that's not good news," Agent Baines wearily sighed by the news.
"Great!" Agent Fitz screamed, like he was already in fury. "We activate the Jump Drive too soon! I was going to tell you that the coordinates weren't set yet, so I needed a little more time to get it ready!"
"Its not your fault Fitz," Quake assured him.
"Oh thank you," Agent Fitz responded in sarcasm. "Here's an idea so solve all our problems. Why don't we go down there and see if we find a place for our ship to be repaired."
"Agent Fitz makes a good point director," Agent Red agreed to the plan. "Thanks to this Captain Marvel woman, we still have enough space tokens to pay for the damage and to buy the best fuel there is to power up the jump drive."
"I think its worth a shot," Agent Baines agreed too.
Daisy was a bit hesitant at first, for she knew that she and her team couldn't be late to attend the peace conference. Since Agent Red already informed that this world and solar system was unknown, she didn't like the idea in wanting to go to a world that could be uncivilized and worse, there can be no places for their ship to be repaired. However, since their ship was desperate need of repair.
"Agent Red, how much power do we have?" Quake asked.
"We still have enough, but our ship has suffered a lot of damage," Agent Red reported what of he knows of the ship's status. "My guess is if we stay here for too long, then the Quake will lose power. We should probably land as soon as possible."
"And worse will be trapped in the void," Agent Baines said.
"Daisy, you are the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., what are your orders?" Agent Simmons asked.
Daisy Johnson sighed and let out a response. "Agent Red, find a good spot to land the ship on the planet."
"Copy that," Agent Red complied to her orders.
"Right ahead of you boss," Agent Baines complied also.
Daisy Johnson turns to Agents Fitz and Simmons, and gives them an important order. "FitzSimmons, with enough power, patch me through to Captain Marvel."
"Patching through," Agent Simmons complied to her friend's orders, and with her husband's help, they managed to get through with Captain Marvel from Hala. Seconds pass, a hologram of Captain Marvel appears in front of Director Johnson.
"Captain Marvel, I need to inform you that my team and I are going to be late," Quake told her the news.
"Daisy no, you need to set a course back to Earth at once," Captain Marvel warned with a worried and urgent look on her face.
"Why, what's going on?" Quake asked, confused.
"Hala is under attack," Captain Marvel informed her. "The peace conference won't be happening."
"Attack?" Agent Simmons responded with a surprised look on her face. "By whom?"
"Sakaaran Natives," Captain Marvel answered. "Thousands of them. Honestly, we don't know why they'd be invading the planet like this, but were holding them back as long as we they can. I'm sorry about this Director, but you and your team need to get yourselves out of there at once and return to Earth right now. That's an order, okay?"
"I'm afraid that's out of line, we were attacked too," Quake informed her that she and he team were attacked too by Sakaarans. "Our ship is badly damaged and we're about to make a landing on a planet in search for a place of repair."
"Which planet is it?" Captain Marvel asked.
"W-We don't know that, captain," Agent Simmons answered. "We don't know what its called. It has no name in our charts."
"So I guess your coming to a planet that no one has ever been to?" Captain Marvel stated and then gave the director a warning. "You need to be careful, Director Johnson. Offworlders, who haven't been to planets that have no names, have no idea whether its safe or unsafe. Some prefer to take the risk, so tell me, are you willing to take that risk?"
"The power in this ship might run out soon, so that's why we're taking that risk," Quake said. "We should land immediately and see if we're lucky enough to find anyone that can help us."
"I'll have Talos pinpoint your location immediately," Captain Marvel said. "If you can't find anyone that can help you, then will be here as soon as possible. Understood?"
"Copy that," Quake complied by giving her a nod.
"Good luck," Captain Marvel said and the call is cut off immediately.
"Something doesn't add up, why would Sakaaran Natives want to be interfering a peace conference on Hala like that?" Agent Simmons asked, who was starting to feel a bit suspicious.
"Well let me tell you this, many of these guys work as mercenaries," Deke said.
"And what are you trying to get at?" Agent Fitz asked.
"What I'm saying is, these mercenaries were hired by someone," Agent Simmons answered his question. "Whoever this someone is, maybe wanted some leverage with the Kree."
"Well, whatever happened, we need to dread with caution," Quake said. "If what Captain Marvel says is true, then we might end up in the Lion's Den." She turns her head a bit. "Red, set the ship under camouflage mode."
"Right," Agent Red complied. "Camouflage is on in five, four, three, two, one."
Within seconds, every part of the Quake was made invisible while they were flying through the clouds. James Davis and Piper Baines were the first ones to notice the lands down below and couldn't imagine how lovely they were. In the center of the ship, Daisy, Fitz, and Jemma used a holographic map as to where they currently are now.
"Okay, this where we are now, so will be heading directly towards the mountains," Quake said as she looks at the map. "Perhaps there, we might find a good spot to settle and hopefully if there's inhabitant that can help us." She turns to Jemma and asks. "Jemma, is the beacon on?"
"100%, ready," Agent Simmons replied with a grin.
"Hope we have enough time to land cause right now, we barely have enough power to go on," Agent Fitz informed as he was staring at the map in disgust. "No far, no sign of any..." He pauses for a moment until he was the first to notice something appear in the map. "Hey guys, I think we're in luck."
"What?" Director Johnson asked.
Agent Fitz happily points at a location. "Its something big. Its a city, surrounded by a very huge valley."
"Well it looks like our luck has turned the tables," Agent Simmons sounded a bit thrilled by the news. "We find the people that can help us and then we can go home."
Suddenly, the alarm goes off. This was the sound of trouble that began to alarm the S.H.I.E.L.D. crew of the Quake. Daisy rushes over to Davis and Baines that were busy stirring the ship.
"What's going on?" Quake asked, worriedly.
"I don't know, our scans indicate an armed missile was just launched from the sky and its heading straight towards us!" Agent Red warned his director with a loud panic.
"That's not possible," Agent Fitz panicked in confusion. "We put our ship in camoflauge mode. Unless..."
"Unless if we might've been wandering into someone's territory," Agent Simmons stated. "Its possible they might've detected our ship."
"Maybe they launched it because they think we're enemies," Agent Fitz guessed too.
"Well, I don't think we might live to tell them that!" Agent Baines raised her voice a bit while helping Agent Kedzierski "Its coming in hot!"
"Fitz, how much power can you give me to send a distress call?" Quake asked hastily.
"Bout 50%," Agent Fitz answered, confused. "Why?"
The missile was moving at top speed like the wind. The Quake suffered a lot of damage and neither Agents Davis and Baines could try and get the ship away in time. Once it reaches its destination, the Quake is destroyed, causing a very huge explosion which decimated every part of the ship. However, just in the nick of time, Daisy Johnson and her team had all managed to get themselves inside an escape pod, which popped out from under the ship just before it was destroyed, and then prepares to land directly downwards into the forest below.
"Ugh, Fitz!" Agent Simmons grunted.
"Jemma," Agent Fitz responded in a very weak tone, as if he wasn't feeling that great since the escape pod was falling down fast.
"Brace yourselves!" Quake shouted.
Daisy and her team keep themselves strapped and protected once the escape pod reaches the surface. However, the landing was very heavy, and everyone inside the escape pod was knocked out from the impact.
In the city of Rivendell, Barbara Morse and Lancelot Hunter were fast asleep on their own bed they were on. It was very soft, for its like they were sleeping on a cloud. That was when Artemis comes unexpectedly and tosses the two guns which land directly on both Bobbi and Hunter's chests, causing them to wake up in a gasp.
"The hell?!" Mockingbird snapped.
"What's the idea waking us up?!" Rifleman exclaimed, demanding a specific answer as to why she would come in to wake him and his lover up.
"Best you lower your tone, hunting man," Artemis calmly warned. "Yelling is not my kind of style."
"Okay, its Hunter by the way," Lancelot corrected her. "Lance Hunter or Rifleman. Can you remember that?"
"Fine," Artemis sighed. "Hunter... Rifleman."
"What do you want from us?" Mockingbird asked.
"Get up, both of you, I'll tell you on the way," Artemis promised to answer her question.
Barbara Morse and Lancelot Hunter took their time to get dressed and make their bed at once rarther than letting the servants do it. After they finish, they load up their guns and walk out the door where Artemis was waiting. As they walked through the hallway, Artemis managed to answer their question about an explosion she had just seen about an hour ago.
"Explosion?" Rifleman responded.
"Not to far from the city," Artemis explained of what she knows. "I was scouting a few miles away until I saw something that was flying..."
"What did you see?" Mockingbird asked.
"A space ship, probably?" Rifleman asked, making an assumption.
"It was camouflaged," Artemis answered. "I didn't get a good look at it, but that was when I saw something else. It was flying at top speed, something that I haven't seen before... and then boom."
"Boom?" Rifleman scoffed.
"Fire and smoke," Artemis specifically added. "Everything obliterated."
"But that's not all, you must've woke us up because you saw something else, right?" Mockingbird wondered if that is the case.
"No wonder why they call you the Mockingbird cause I feel you're on the verge in mocking me right now, but that is why I woke you and the rest of your team for this," Artemis scoffed. "Natasha included. We're going to investigate, so unless if you don't want to come, I'll find someone else who can."
"No, no, will go, but just to be clear, you and I, don't ever walk into our room like that and wake us up," Lancelot warned.
"Otherwise he be really pissed if something like that ever happened," Mockingbird warned. "Oh and I'm not good at mocking."
"Then what were you dreaming about when I woke you?" Artemis began to wonder with a smile.
"Okay, let's try and focus on the mission please," Mockingbird decided to ignore that and get on with what she and Hunter had to do.
"That's what I thought," Artemis grinned.
Outside the city of Rivendell, Artemis, Strider, Barbara Morse, Lancelot Hunter, Soo-jin Smith, Jerry Fortunov, Lincoln Slade, and Natasha Romanoff had been walking for about an hour across the forest. The seven companions knew they were getting closer to where the escape pod was. Once they find it, they'll find out if anyone was in there and then destroy all traces of it to keep it from being from being found by others, which is part Artemis' mission.
"So how far are we going?" Agent Fortunov asked.
"As far as we go, will find out exactly what it is," Black Widow answered. "Your welcome to turn back if you want. Neither I nor Artemis would care if you plan to desert us."
"Who says anything about deserting?!" Agent Fortunov gasped. "I haven't even done one damn thing!"
"Let it go, Jerry," Mockingbird said. "She's kidding."
"Fine, whatever," Agent Fortunov sighed.
"If anyone asks, I didn't ask to be part of this," Lancelot whispered to Jerry.
Lincoln walks next to Natasha and says. "So, I see people call you the Black Widow. I know I never had a chance to mention all of this to you when we first met during our travel to Rivendell. You're an Avenger, aren't you?"
"Nice for you to ask, and I know you who are," Black Widow said. "As I recall, I was one of the very best Avengers that volunteered to track you down in the U.S years ago. You were wanted by the authorities. They said you were dangerous, but I didn't think that was true. You can generate or summon electricity. Are you like a Human who is enhanced?"
"I would prefer the term 'Inhuman'," Linc answered.
"Yeah, I've read a lot of reports of Inhumans that lived on Earth," Black Widow remembered what she did before she became the team leader of the Avengers since the Infinity War. "People say all the time that this is like a disease that came from the oceans. Tell me, how is it that one like you would end up here like I have?"
"Well, its kinda of uh, long story," Linc said.
"Save it for later if you want," Black Widow dismissed. "Focus on the mission."
"Yes ma'am," Linc sighed.
"We're getting close," Artemis sniffed through the air. "We find it and destroy all evidence of its existence. We cannot let anyone uncover this."
"Best we stay back and let Artemis go in first," Black Widow suggested.
"We also need to watch out," Artemis warned. "Orcs can patrol these part of the lands."
"You serious, I thought no enemy wander through these territories," Bangs recalled.
"We all did, but now, I have no idea," Linc said.
"Be mindful Lincoln, but these creatures never like to wander in the daytime and they can choose to do so when they catch a scent of man-flesh," Strider described what Orcs can do.
"Don't forget the Trolls," Black Widow added. "I hear these guys pay their homage to 'You Know Who' and they like to hunt too, no matter where they like to go to."
"Sounds like you really know everything on this world Natasha," Mockingbird grinned.
"Its my job to know everything," Black Widow smirked.
Artemis raises her hand up, signaling the group to make a sudden halt and hide behind the trees. While everyone readies their weapons in defense, Artemis slowly walks towards an escape pod, which was almost buried under the soil within the forest. Smoke was around, and the fire seems to have dissipated since the impact.
"Looks like Artemis was right, its an escape pod, but of what kind?" Bangs asked, catching a glimpse of the escape pod.
"C'mon, let's check it out," Linc decided.
"Does anyone have to rush?" Rifleman whispered very sharply. "It could be a trap." His efforts to stop the group from going gave him a complete deep sigh. "Oh bloodly hell." Then, he leaves his hiding spot and runs in last.
"Bangs! Hunter! Natasha!" Mockingbird called. "I think you may need to see this!"
"What is it?" Bangs asked.
Barbara Morse looks at something that was very familiar. What she was looking at was a symbol of an eagle surrounded by stars. It was symbol of the agency S.H.I.E.L.D., an agency that operated on Earth for decades since the end of World War II.
"Is that what I think it is?" Rifleman asked, taking glance of the symbol.
"Its an escape pod that belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D.," Mockingbird gasped, like she was relief.
"Wow, you serious?" Agent Fortunov gasped in surprise and awe.
"But how's that possible?" Black Widow asked, confused as to why it was here. "For the last few years since the Snap and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s third incarnation, no one in this agency has ever uncovered the whereabouts of this planet."
"But what's it doing here?" Bangs asked.
"Well whatever happened, they must've ended up here for a reason," Rifleman stated as he started to gain a sense of excitement since he believed that there might be a chance to get back home to Earth after all.
"Not for a reason, but I think by accident," Black Widow assumed if that was the case.
"Well, if any S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is alive and they might have something useful, then it could even the odds in getting us back home to Earth," Bobbie hopefully believed.
"Well, we didn't come all this way for nothing," Lancelot said and turns to give Artemis a thumbs up. "Thank you very much."
"For what?" Artemis asked, concerned as to why Hunter would say that to her.
"For giving us a sign of hope," Rifleman continued to thank her, but in sarcasm.
"You're welcome... Hunter," Artemis said and focused on the door to the escape pod. "Let's get this open. See if anyone is still breathing."
Lancelot Hunter leans to Barbara Morse and whispers confidentially, but loud enough for Artemis to hear. "I like it when she thinks."
Artemis uses the might of her Olympian strength to rip the door open, like she's slicing a piece of cheese. She was the first to enter the escape pod and began to notice Director Daisy Louise Johnson, Jemma Anne Simmons, Leopold Fitz, James Davis, and Piper Baines, who were all unconscious and none of them had ever awoke since the crash. Artemis crawls over to Daisy first and checks on her. Placing her hand around her neck, she smiled in relief that she felt that the young Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was still breathing like the others were.
"They're breathing!" Artemis called from inside the Escape Pod. "Let's get them to Rivendell."
The next day, as light from the east was touching slowly across the city of Rivendell, Daisy was still lying back with her eyes closed. As the birds outside her room were chirping and singing, Daisy wakes up and discovers that she was lying in bed. She slowly gets up and looks around in confusion as to how she got here. The last thing she remembered that she and her team managed to board an escape pod, but the impact knocked her out. Its possible that she and her team were found by inhabitants and brought them to their city to recover. She looks around, but then suddenly, she began to notice someone that had been watching her all the time. It was Lincoln. As her eyes are wide, her mouth is open in shock and it looks like she's just seen a ghost.
"Lincoln," Daisy gasped.
"Daisy," Linc whispered with a bright smile on his face.
Daisy gets out of bed, wearing a white elvish gown that the elves of Rivendell gave to her. At first, Lincoln thought Daisy was going to slap him since she thought he was dead at the time when he sacrificed his life to kill Hive and save all of humanity from being turned into Primitives. Instead of slapping him in the left or right side of Lincoln's face, she holds up his face in an emotional sight and starts to smile tearfully. The two stare at each other for seconds and then they gently kiss each other.
Hiya folks, I'm sorry it took so long for this chapter to be made. Ever since this crazy COVID-19, I started to forget about writing on Fanfiction and I've been stuck with a lot of ideas on how to make this chapter. But finally, its done. I hope you'll like the ending of this chapter where Daisy Johnson and Lincoln Campbell reunite at last.
