Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here, the story advances further as Baron Mordo and the Scarlet Witch make their moves…which puts the Nanatsu no Taizai members at risk as they never encountered these kind of villains before…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 33: Iruminati to no deai part 3
The scene shows that Strange, Thor, Loki, Wong and the Nanatsu no Taizai members are TRANSPORTED somewhere, and though they are still in the mall, the scene shows that there are no people here, and that the mall they are in appeared to be abandoned, with Strange being the first to wake up, and finds out that America Chavez and the Nanatsu no Taizai members are here, but Thor and Loki are nowhere to be seen.
Strange checked on Chavez and asked her if she is okay, which she nodded, assuring him that she is not wounded or anything of the sort, which Strange is relieved to hear this, and looked around, seeing that while this appeared to the same mall as before, the interior tells another story.
"Seems like something just happened…"
"How…?"
"While this is the same mall as before…it's current appearance tells a different story."
"Really…?"
"Looks like it…"
"Then…"
"We better get moving…"
"Okay…"
Strange then glanced around, seeing that neither Thor or Loki are around, and even noticed that Wong is also not here, which made Strange even more worried, and wondered what happened here, as he recalled that the entity called Shuma-Gorath was attacking a while ago before a strange light enveloped them, and now they appeared to be in the same mall but there are no people here.
Strange then helps Chavez up and tells her that they better look for the others and find out what just happened here, which Chavez agreed, worried that Shuma-Gorath might show up and go after her for whatever reason the entity has, as she fear for her life.
"I think we should get going…"
"Y-yeah…"
"We need to find some of my…charges…"
"O-okay…"
"Just be ready for anything."
"Y-yeah…"
"Okay. Let's go."
"R-right…"
Strange then led Chavez out of the area and began looking for the others, hoping that Meliodas and the others are okay and unharmed, not knowing that something unexpected is bound to happen sooner or later.
Somewhere else within the mall, Meliodas and Elizabeth slowly regain consciousness after what happened moments ago, and looked around, seeing that this is the same mall but there are no people here and that the area they are in appeared to be abandoned as there are dusts and webs.
Meliodas and Elizabeth then wondered what happened, but noticed that King, Diane, Gowther and Ban are unconscious, and there Meliodas and Elizabeth decided to try wake up the others and figure out what happened here as they also noticed that Strange and Wong are not here, as well as seeing that Thor and Loki are not here as well.
"Elizabeth…"
"Meliodas-sama…"
"We better wake the others up…"
"Yeah…"
"And get to the bottom of this."
"Agreed."
"We better wake them up."
"Got it."
After that, Meliodas and Elizabeth began waking up the other Nanatsu no Taizai members, managing to get them up, and they too were baffled at the current environment they are in, as they also recalled about encountering Shuma-Gorath, and wondered if this is a dream or not.
"Wake up, guys…"
"Meliodas…"
"Huh? What gives…? Why is this place look so old and abandoned?"
"Ban's right…it wasn't like this a while ago…"
"This doesn't seem like the place we are in…"
"Elizabeth…are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Diane…"
"…"
Meliodas led the others out and traverses around the now-abandoned mall, seeing that there are no people around and felt that this place has long been forsaken, as it was dusty and dirty, which made Diane worried, and there King assured to her that things are going to be okay, saying that all they need is to stick together.
"Its okay, Diane."
"King…"
"I'll protect you."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Okay."
"Just stay beside me…"
"Okay…"
Gowther noticed that Wong is not here, which Ban agreed, and tells Meliodas that something must have happened, as he also brought out the fact that the Scarlet Witch is not here as well, which Meliodas nodded, and said that they should find a way out of here and see if Strange and Wong are here, and maybe they can figure out what just happened here.
"We better get going. Let's find Strange and figure out what is going on here."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
As the Nanatsu no Taizai members carefully traverse the mall by finding the stairways and escalators, they noted that every establishment are abandoned, as if it was deserted, and there Elizabeth felt even worried, which Meliodas held her hand and assured to her that everything would be okay.
As the group arrived at the second floor, they saw Strange and Chavez there and the two groups came together, relieved that they have found each other, and after telling each other what they noticed within the mall, Strange concluded that they may have accidentally came to another dimension or MULTIVERSE.
Meliodas listened intently as Strange explained about their current situation, and told him and the Nanatsu no Taizai members to be ready for anything as they might encounter something unexpected, as well as they might encounter either Mordo or Shuma-Gorath.
"We better get going. Be ready. We might get into an unexpected fight."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
As the group went on to leave the mall, they were slightly taken aback the moment they got out of the mall and got to the streets, where there are no people around and that the city appeared to be deserted for a reason, which made Strange feel a bit worried, as this reinforces his hunch that he and the Nanatsu no Taizai members are in another universe.
He also noted that neither Wong or Thor are around and believed that the two ended up either somewhere in this world or at another universe, and there Strange told Chavez and the Nanatsu no Taizai members to stick together as they got to find a way out of this and return home, which the rest nodded in acknowledgement.
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
As they traveled around, Meliodas asked Chavez how she ended up at the mall before getting caught in their current predicament, in which she said that she and a version of Stephen Strange are chased by a demon in the space between universes while searching for the Book of Vishanti.
According to Chavez, the Doctor Strange who was with her before is killed and Chavez accidentally creates a portal that transports herself to Earth-616, which is the universe where the Nanatsu no Taizai members ended up before she accidentally transported herself in and led to their current predicament, surprising Strange himself upon hearing that there are other versions of himself, and that the one that Chavez mentioned was killed.
"Let me get this straight…"
"…"
"I have…a counterpart…is that what you say…?"
"Yes."
"And he got…killed…?"
"Yes."
"And in panic you ended up here…"
"Yes…"
Strange wondered if Chavez has control over her powers and asked her if she could use them to transport everyone to the MAIN UNIVERSE, which Chavez appeared hesitant at first, but gave it a try, and while she appeared to fumble, she managed to get it right for now, and the group return to Earth 616, which they ended up back to the Sanctum Sanctorum in Kamar-Taj, which is located in Kathmandu, Nepal that serves as the main headquarters of the Masters of the Mystic Arts.
The staff and students there are glad to see Strange again though they were baffled that Wong wasn't with him as they knew that Strange and Wong went to the Scottish branch of the Sanctum Sanctorum, but Strange told the caretaker of the current situation, as well as he introduced the Nanatsu no Taizai members as guests.
"…and these are my…guests…who are under my care…"
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Hello."
"I see…please to meet you. If Strange says that you are guests…then you are most welcome…"
To everyone's surprises, the Scarlet Witch showed up, and is now wearing a COSTUME, which was colored red, and there she eyed Chavez, and tells Strange to hand over Chavez immediately, saying that she has a need for the girl, and Chavez hid behind Strange, sensing something terrifying towards the Scarlet Witch.
The Nanatsu no Taizai members saw Chavez's reaction and they immediately went into their battle stances, but Strange urged them to calm down as he would try to reason with the Scarlet Witch, though Meliodas said that it looks like the Scarlet Witch is in no mood to listen, yet Strange said that he would give it a try.
The Nanatsu no Taizai members reluctantly obliges as they allowed Strange to try taking a risk.
"Let me try this. I might calm her down…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
The Nanatsu no Taizai members reluctantly accepted and Strange attempted to try reasoning with the Scarlet Witch, but she would not listen and demanded that he surrender Chavez to her unconditionally or else there would be hell to pay, surprising the Sanctum Sanctorum staff members and the Nanatsu no Taizai members sensed that the Scarlet Witch seemed to emit a MURDEROUS VIBE.
When Strange refuses to surrender Chavez, the Scarlet Witch attacks Kamar-Taj, killing many sorcerers, and this prompted Meliodas and Ban to try stopping her, but the Scarlet Witch uses her hex powers to knock the two back, prompting Diane to try confronting her but she too was knocked back, landing on King and Gowther.
Seeing the carnage made Chavez panicking, and she accidentally transports herself, Strange and the Nanatsu no Taizai members to another universe, while the Scarlet Witch pissed off before taking her leave.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as comedy abound which the Nanatsu no Taizai members are finding themselves in…especially when they and Doctor Strange got a taste of entering a multiverse, and though they got back to the MAIN UNIVERSE, the Scarlet Witch (MCU version) makes an unannounced appearance, as she appeared to have become MALEVOLENT, and now she wants Chavez for a malevolent reason…which caused Chavez to transport everyone to another multiverse…
