" Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together."

- Woodrow Wilson

(NEW YORK CITY, 10:30 AM)

Two months had passed, the Kree-Lizard boy spent most of his time working as laborer at the processing grounds of the slave den. He carried a lot of cargo crates and heavy equipment which they were being transported from the site to the vehicle. There were times he was also assigned in assembling some simple and complex parts of a certain Kree equipment or weapon. He made sure that he got it correctly in fixing and creating it which he was very afraid to make any mistakes for he would receive such brutal punishment from the blue or pink skins including their reptilian counterparts.

Most of the days, he was melancholic which he could not forget that time when he and his mother got separated in Paris. That experience was very painful for him as he ended up as a slave for the tyrants. The hybrid remained silent as he could not mingle to his fellow slaves. In his mind, he wanted to return to France, reunite with his mother, and continue for his search for the hero which he has been looking for years.

Just then, he heard a loud wail from another human female slave which she was caught up stealing food from the storage. While working, he turned to his attention to her when the handlers whipped her. He could not tolerate such brutality in what he was seeing, so he ignored her and focused in his duty carrying the heavy objects. The Kree-Lizard boy was careful enough to place the crates into the corner. Then, he heard another commotion from a distance. It was an elderly blue Kree man who rebelled against his brothers and ended up as a slave like him. The man was about to escape from the den when the guards instantly caught him. The boy witnessed the Kree made such reasoning to the handlers, however, they never listened at him. Instead, he was being beaten up to death as the boy widened his eyes in shock. He had seen or heard enough from this place which he wanted to break free in this terrible hellhole.

Hours later, it was lunch time. The several people gathered up which the Lizard was guarding at them. The Kree-Lizard boy waited and felt irritated at the murmurings of those guards that surrounded them. He heard their conversation which they wanted to exterminate the rebellious ones. He secretly rolled his eyes and sighed. Finally, the food was being distributed, however it was being brought down like a gush of water from a faucet. Everyone immediately grabbed a handful of grain which he or she began to eat. The boy was trapped into the sea of unruly people, becoming uncomfortable and trying to get some grain for himself. Afterwards, there was a few of them left for him. It was very unfortunate that he could barely eat these days spent in the slave den.

" Almost everyday, I eat like this, " the boy sadly thought and ate his share. " But my stomach is still grumbling, this is not enough for me..."

He returned to his shift in carrying some loads of crates which he usually do. The boy was not satisfied from his meal, but he ignored his hunger and weakening which he wanted to focus on his work. Suddenly, a blonde Lunivian woman was pushing a cart of crates which she noticed his weariness and weakening. She paused and took something from her pocket. It was a piece of orange which she never ate and gave it to the boy.

" But...we're not allowed to eat..." he said. " The guards will find us. "

" No, it's okay. It is all yours, " she lowly replied with a smile. " You must be starving, Meister? "

" Svet. What's your name, miss? "

" Katean Knythe. It's nice to meet you, Meister Svet. "

" I hope we have more time to talk about, " the hybrid spoke.

" Same here, " Katean nodded. " I guess we should be vigilant for now. See you later, Meister Svet. "

" Sure. "

The two had parted ways when they continued working and avoiding such commotion from their handlers or any of their fellow slaves. From a distance, the boy noticed the same green-haired woman dressed in a dark fur coat along with her companion who was an Inhuman. He recognized them and quickly shunned away for he never wanted to put himself in trouble again. The woman, Solaris Shadowsong-Volkova sternly glared at him and turned to her associate.

" Something familiar, we have here, Darkvile, " Solaris said.

" We could have killed him in the first place, but that man and his wife prevented us from doing it, " Darkvile replied and crossed his arms. " What's the use for keeping him? "

" The overlord, Kasius has heard of the rumors of Methu-Selah's missing son. Perhaps, he considered that boy to put him in our side. "

" I don't think so. He might return to his old friends. "

" Let's see about that, " she evilly smirked. " We should keep an eye of him. He's making friends with another slave. "

" We should report this right away. "

" Not yet, Darkvile. We shall wait. "

Moments later, Katean the Lunivian and the hybrid boy were working together at the transport area where they kept transferring and carrying the crates. They never spent talking nor looking at each other which the handlers were observing them. Suddenly, the two heard another commotion just beside them when two slaves were whispering about interdimensional exiles had arrived on Earth. Listening to the conversation, a lizard guard heard them and reported to the other Kree guard. Then, he approached the two talkative slaves and captured them along with his associates.

" We were just discussing about..." the middle-aged female slave paused.

" My friends, those slaves are just talking instead of working, " the reptilian man said to his colleagues.

" Noted, I'll stun them right away, " the blue-skinned guard nodded and released his weapon. The two women widened their eyes in fear as they would face their instant execution in seconds.

" If you can't keep a muzzle on your own slaves, Then I might as well labor them till their death. "

The Kree man stunned the two ladies as they got electrocuted to their demise. The hybrid and the Lunivian refused to see the tragic deaths of the slave women as they kept working as possible. Suddenly, the boy heard a voice from his mind as he turned around. Then, he looked at Katean.

" Katean, are you calling me? " he asked.

" No, " she nodded.

" Then, who could that be? "

" I don't know. It must be your imagination, I think. "

Still continuing his work, the boy tried to ignore the voice from his head as he carried a pile of boxes to be transported. Looking under his clothes, he realized that he lost the necklace which Dr. Vandark gave him two months ago that would control his powers. Suddenly, he started to feel tremendous headaches as he touched his forehead. Katean paused her work and looked at her new friend with concern when the boy fell down to the ground. The rest of the slaves caught their attention to the unconscious Kree-Lizard boy as they headed to him.

Slowly gaining consciousness and opening his eyes, the hybrid found himself in a radiant place and turned his head to and fro. He was very dumbfounded in what he was seeing. Standing up and walking around, he noticed an imagery of a blue Kree man with a long silvery hair who was practically uncanny to Methu-Selah. The boy was bewildered to meet the man and approaching him.

" Who are you? " the Kree-Lizard boy curiously asked. " Are you the Kree Eternal? "

" No, " the man chuckled and replied. " I just took his form in order to meet you. By the way, I am the Supreme Intelligence, the one who rules the Kree Empire and with the minds of the ancients of Hala. The people call me Lord Supremor. "

" Supreme Intelligence? Why are you summoning me? Why do you look like the man from my dreams? "

" I just want to take images of anyone else and communicate with everyone. I have just realized you have unleashed your true capability, but not that quite powerful, " the virtual Kree man spoke and crossed his arms as the Kree-Lizard hybrid intently looked at him. " So you must be the clone of 682? I don't think you are that brutal like him. "

" Yes..." he said. " How did you know? "

" I have been observing you several days after you got separated with your mother. You are working for Kasius which he wants you to be a weapon for him. There is only one thing I want you to do while you're under him. He thinks you're the real indestructible being in this world. You may play along with him and obey his orders. "

" What is it? "

" I order you to keep an eye on his work. I find him as a potential traitor. He puts everything in jeopardy. "

" I don't understand, " the boy raised his voice. " Lord Supremor, why did you let your people rule this planet and create such an unending war?! "

" At first, my only order is to occupy every planet in the cosmos to fight against the Skrulls, our shape-shifting enemies, but one man from the house of Kasius was able to do that. I allowed him to form an army and colonize. He and his descendants were successful enough to execute it for thousands of years, however one of them had been corrupted and abused that responsibility. "

" You mean he just did it on his own without obeying your orders? "

" Exactly, " Supremor nodded. " A member of the House of Kasius had banished the Kree Eternal. "

" Why did you let Methu-Selah banish?! Did he ever do such a horrible thing to your people? "

" Our people, " he stressed corrected. " Only the Kree Eternal can answer your question, Amnon-Selah. "

" Amnon-Selah?! " the boy repeated and widened his eyes in shock as he couldn't believe he had a real name. " No, my name is Svet, a clone of SCP-682. I'm aware that I'm part Kree, but that doesn't mean..."

" You are one of us, Amnon. That is your real name," Supremor replied. " You may have a shell of that indestructible lizard, but you have not unleashed fully what you are. Your mother knows, but she has never spoken to you about your future. Your friends had a gist of your true identity, but you were never aware. Some of these humans kept those secrets from you, but you have to discover that by yourself. Only, your father can help you along with your mother. "

" My father?! " Amnon exclaimed in surprise. " Please tell me, Lord Supremor. Who is my father and where is he?! "

" You can only find an answer to yourself, " the virtual Kree man smiled. " Right now, you have a work to do..."

" But my lord, you haven't answered my question! Please tell me! "

" It's time to wake-up, Amnon-Selah..."

The Kree-Lizard boy, Amnon woke up from his bed when a group of slaves had surrounded him. His new friend Katean the Lunivian was giving him a glass of water. He sat up and quickly drank it. A brunette middle-aged slave named Gavin who was just new to the den crossed his arms and laughed at him.

" My, my, I didn't realize SCP-682 was now one of us! " Gavin sarcastically replied and shrugged. " A slave. What happened?! Did you perform a containment breach before the Kree and your lizard friends abducted you?! Glad, you have faced your consequence! "

" Meister Gavin, that's enough! " Katean angrily growled. " Svet got fainted, because he was really hungry! "

" Hungry?! Really?! He can eat a lot of slaves here! Damn, I never realized some slaves are also freaks! I mean " Svet " could have been killed for real by our handlers! I really like to see how he dies! "

" Gavin, shut up! " Amnon sternly spoke and glared at him as he got annoyed. " You're not really helping here. If I were you, you should go away before the guards will bring and feed you to the roaches. "

The human slave became silent and felt embarrassed as he instantly left. The fellow slaves sternly glared at him when they returned to their respective places. Katean heavily sighed and turned to him.

" Svet, I'm so sorry..." she calmly said with a remorse.

" It's all right, Katean, " he slightly smiled. " I'm okay now. My real name is Amnon-Selah. "

" Amnon?! You're also a Kree?! "

" Yes, I'm part Kree. "

" What happened, Meister Amnon?! "

" The Supreme Intelligence summoned me to have a talk, " he continued. " I needed to do something while I'm here. "

" Why?! What is it?! "

" It has something to do with Kasius. For now, I have to spy on him, but my real intention is to find the Kree Eternal. "

" How come?! "

" I will explain everything to you in these days, " Amnon said. " But do you know how to escape from here? "

" Maybe, I can help, " the Lunivian woman scratched her chin and thought. " I tried to escape, but I got unsuccessful several times. "

" Well, I'm willing to join with you. If that's fine with you. "

" Okay, I will. "
