Chapter 113 Hawk and Dove
It's been a couple weeks since Sean turned 27 years old. And now the Legion was busy since the Regime was back in action. Mest of course though still was a problem to the Legion but he hadn't done anything yet. But he was still under a watchful eye.
Currently right now Wonder Woman was out in civilian clothes wanting to spend an ordinary day out in public before she spotted a bang being robbed making her sigh.
"Don't these people ever learn?" Wonder Woman said about to stop their car when they got blasted down out cold making her blink.
"Hey honey." Sean said floating down to her in his suit.
"You know I kinda miss when you only had Ghost Rider Powers only." Diana said.
"Hey I still use them from time to time. I'm just practicing with these new powers. Getting warmed up for when Thanos shows up. But never mind that now we got a problem." Sean said before she swirled around till her armor appeared and they flew away.
"Whats going on now? The Regime up to something?" Diana asked.
"No but good guess. It's Kaznia. Audria said the country is on the verge of a civil war. Apparently there are two factions at work here." Sean said making her sigh. "Something wrong?" Sean asked.
"What is wrong with people? We do all this to protect them and they just want an excuse to fight. They should be grateful for what we do." Diana said.
"It's not their fault exactly. It's human nature. We unfortunately picked up some of Unicron's ways of chaos and destruction before he changed into what he is now. Eventually there will be a day when Violence is a thing of the past. But that day is not here yet. But it will be. Raidan And Jura will be waiting for us.(Jura is from Fairy Tail just so people don't get confused) We have to pick up some idiots who aren't answering their calls." Sean said.
Soon enough they arrived at a sports bar before Sean kicked the door down revealing the brothers Hawk and Dove standing over some punks.
"Seriously this is why you didn't answer?" Sean asked.
"Sorry but these guys started it." Hawk said.
"Whatever we got a problem on our hands." Sean said as they got in the invisible plane.
"Why not just let them obliterate each other? If people can't control their own country they don't deserve to have one." Hawk said.
"Thats a little harsh don't you think?" Sean said. "These people live poverty. It's easy to turn the blame on someone else. Besides I think something else is at work here." Sean said before they landed right in front of Raiden and Jura.
"You've arrived just in time." Jura said. (Just so everyone knows picture Jura before the seven year time skip)
"Whats going on?" Sean asked before they spotted explosions. Looking down they saw the two factions fighting each other.
However what was strange was someone in black armor fighting with the Northern side.
"The hell is that thing?" Hawk asked.
"I'll handle that. You guys try to stop them from killing each other." Sean said before flying right at the armored man.
Quickly grabbing the man Sean threw him into the wall before it got right back up and charged right at him before their fists collided and the armored man proved to be stronger sending Sean crashing into a building.
"Ok thats new." Sean said before Jura got in the way.
"IRON ROCK WALL!" Jura yelled creating a rock wall but the armored man broke right through and sent Jura into a wall.
Raiden blasted the armored man but had no effect before Diana Threw a large rock at the man's face and made him stumble back beofre the front of the helmet was open. However they were shocked to see no one was in there.
"The hell? Theres even inside that thing!" Sean yelled before blasting it back.
"Theres strong magic inside the armor." Raiden said. Sean took a closer look before he spotted a symbol on the chest and narrowed his eyes before blasting the thing back with twice the amount of power before Sean grabbed Hawk and Dove and flew off along with the others retreating.
"What are you doing? You pulled us right out of battle!" Hawk said.
"He just saved our lives Hank." Dove said.
"Two yards would have done that." Hawk said.
"Enough. I know who made that armor. Hephaestus." Sean said.
"The Smith God?" Jura asked.
"Yeah I recognize that symbol of his anywhere. But why would he build something like that?" Sean asked since Hephaestus was someone who valued peace and supported the Legion.
"We can go and ask him ourselves." Wonder Woman said.
"Yeah. In the meantime I want you guys to see if you can get the leaders to talk this out." Sean said as he, Raiden and Wonder Woman flew away.
Later
Hephaestus was working on another of his works when the three landed.
"You know I gotta hand it to your ancestor the General. That armor of yours surpasses all of my work." Hephaestus said.
"I wouldn't say that." Sean said.
"And I made that armor for her mother but did she ever thank me? No. I love her mom but she doesn't have her build." Hephaestus said about Diana Mother.
"We didn't come for small talk. Theres an armor in Kaznia that needs no one inside to operate it and has your damn mark." Sean said.
"Oh the Annihilator." Hephaestus said.
"Then you did build it." Raiden said.
"Who else does such fine craftsmanship? Ares liked it." Hephaestus said.
"Ares? Why? He's been supporting the Legion because we get the job done." Sean said in surprise making him laugh.
"You forget his title as the god of war. Beside its not like he's trying to make the whole world go to war. Theres been plenty of that in the last seven years. World war three and various other events." Hephaestus said before Said man walked in.
"Well, this is a surprise. It's been a while Kruger." Ares said.
"You mind explaining why you had this Annihilator built?" Sean asked.
"Annihilator? What are you talking about? I didn't ask Hephaestus to build anything." Ares said in confusion.
"Don't play games with us Ares. If you..." Raiden tried to say.
"He's telling the truth." Sean said confusing them. "I know Ares. If he actually did ask him to build something like this he would be bragging about it and not be feigning ignorance thats not how he works." Sean said making him laugh.
"You know me so well. Yes, I didn't ask Hephaestus to build anything." Ares said.
"But if it wasn't you who stood before me today...Who was it?" Hephaestus asked.
"I have a pretty good idea. How do you stop this thing?" Sean asked.
"Well, thats a simple answer. Stop feeding it. It feeds off rage and suffering." Hephaestus said before they left along with Ares since he wanted answers. "Come back when you have time Kruger. I'll upgrade that suit of yours." Hephaestus said.
Later
"Oh fuck!" Sean said in annoyance seeing the North converging on the South. And who was leading them you may ask. The Fake Ares.
"Now why would someone go through all the trouble of posing as me." Ares asked.
"Like I said I think I have a pretty good idea." Sean said.
Soon enough Sean and his group got everyone to stop fighting.
"Whats the matter with you fools! Keep fighting!" The Fake Ares said.
"This is just embarrassing." The Real Ares making the fake widen his eyes.
"It's over Ares...Or should I say...Shinock!" Sean yelled blasting the fake Ares till the appearance of Shinock the fallen Elder God appeared.
"ARGH! How did you know?" Shinock asked in annoyance.
"Wasn't really that hard. Sure Ares gains power from conflict thats true but this is small time conflict even for him. You gain your power from death thats why you tricked Hephaestus to build this thing to speed up the death toll. Because of the lack of murder lately on Earth your powers are dropping rapidly so you had to find a way to speed that up." Sean said making him growl.
"I'm still strong enough to kill you!" Shinock yelled charging at him but Sean just wrapped his chain around him.
"Please. I've killed people who are a hundred times more powerful than you. Onaga, Mephesto...Twice actually and I've killed Apocalypse. You? Your no threat to me as you are right now." Sean said.
"You can't kill me! I'm an elder God. We're unkillable!" Shinock yelled.
"Physically yes no can kill you...But your soul on the other hand." Sean said making his eyes widen before he turned into the Ghost Rider. "Look into my eyes. Your soul is stained by the blood of the innocent. Feel their pain!" Sean yelled before Shinock screamed as his soul was burned before his eyes looked burned before Sean dropped him.
"Finally Earth Realm is safe from Shinock forever." Raiden said.
"Now what do we do about this thing?" Hawk asked pointing to the Annihilator.
"We can place it on the Watchtower." Sean said.
Meanwhile
A facility in New York that belonged to the Legion had been attacked by the Regime an hour ago.
"Why would the Regime just attack so suddenly?" Wonder Woman asked.
"I have no idea. This place doesn't even have anything remotely valuable. No weapons no Tech." Sean said before Flash rushed in.
"I did a little inventory check of the place And strangely only one thing was taken." Barry said.
"What the hell is missing?" Russo asked.
"The Original Zilla's dead body." Barry said making Sean raise an eyebrow.
"Why would they steal the Original Zilla's dead body. Vilgax is cruel sure but he's no mad scientist thats brings back the dead." Gwen Tennyson said.
"I don't think this has anything to do with him specifically. Don't forget the Regime has multiple leaders he's just the new primary leader. I think someone in the Regime has plans for the Original Zilla." Sean said.
"I've never seen them so well organized. It's like they stepped up their game." Lane said.
"You forget Freddy was never really against us to begin with. He, Makarov and Mryyah were secretly helping us. No one was bold enough to question them both out of respect and fear. Vilgax however now is not holding them back. That means we're gonna have a more difficult time trying to stop them." Sean said.
Meanwhile
"Ah excellent." Frax said looking at the still perfectly preserved dead body of the Original Zilla. It was on ice since it was killed years ago so the body hasn't really decomposed much.
"What exactly are your plans for this thing?" MODOK asked Frax.
"Patience my friend that is a surprise. But know with what I have in store will cripple the Legion once and for all." Frax said laughing.
Meanwhile
Russo was in the armory making sure all the weapons were accounted for when someone walked in.
"The area is off limits right now get out." Russo said.
"I don't take orders from you."
Russo turned around and saw Mest glaring at him.
"Oh its you again. What do you want now?" Russo asked in annoyance before he took out a knife making him raise an eyebrow. "What do you think you're doing?" Russo asked.
"Since Kruger is a fool I'll do the Legion a favor and dispose of you." Mest said making him sigh.
"You do that and you'll be hunted down by the Legion. Killing a fellow member is considered high treason. Do you really want to go through with it?" Russo asked making him snort.
"You're no fellow member. You're a criminal and I'll kill you and everyone will see things my way." Mest said not seeing someone behind him.
"No you won't" Sean said making him widen his eyes and turned to face him. "I told you already they've all been given a full pardon and are extremely valuable to the Legion because of their skills. Clearly you cannot accept people can change. Which leaves me with only one option." Sean said.
"And whats that?" Mest asked.
"To kick you out of the Legion. Strip you of your memory. You are cruel and unforgiven to anyone who has a committed a crime no matter how big or small." Sean said.
"AND YOU'RE AN IDIOT AND A FOOL!" Mest yelled making him sigh.
"Your right I am a fool...To think you had a place here." Sean said walking to him. "You have no place here." Sean said before grabbing his head before erasing memories on important facts on the Legion other than knowing he was a member for a short time. Mest quickly jumped back.
"NO! You won't listen to me but you'll trust a monster like him!" Mest yelled.
"With my life. I've made plenty of mistakes before. Trusting Hawkgirl's people when Hro lied about his true objectives and tried to destroy our world. Forgiving Mills before he kidnapped my son. And my newest mistake was thinking you had a place here in the Legion after your first outburst. I make a few mistakes...But I correct them. My correction is kicking you out of here." Sean said before he created a portal. "You are no longer welcome here." Sean said kicking him through the portal before it closed.
"Good riddance." Russo said.
"When your done I have a mission for ya." Sean said making him smirk.
"Don't you always?" Russo asked making him chuckle before he left.
Meanwhile
Mest was livid. He tried to get others to see his way that every criminal no matter what crime deserved to die but they wouldn't listen to him.
"Fools all of them. I'll get back at them for this." Mest said.
"I might be able to help you on that."
Mest turned around and saw a General Hager behind him.
"I know you. General Hager." Mest said.
"Indeed. And like you and many associates and I we have a personal vendetta against Kruger and his Legion. Which why I've come with a proposition. We'd like you to join us." Hager said.
"Who's us?" Mest asked.
"Cadmus." Hager said.
Authors note: Oh crap. Frax is up to something and Now Mest is joining Cadmus. Now I still got plenty of surprises for the Unlimited series since I've had years to think this over. Next Chapter Fearful symmetry involving our favorite female clone. Now as to what Frax is up to...My most Loyal Guest and SpikedTankedmaster300 can easily figure that out. Plus it also will involve the other series I was talking about before. You'll all love it in the end. Read, Review, Fav and Follow. REVIEW MY LOYAL FANS AND YOU'LL GET A LEMON OUT OF IT! See ya. Oh and uh one more thing (Christ I sound like Uncle from Jackie Chan Adventures). I have something very special planed out for the end of the first half of season one. It involves what happened to Turok's home 11 years ago. Soon enough you'll all find out exactly what really happened. See ya.
