My versions of Wiccan and Speed are based on the costumes Wanda's sons wore in WandaVision, which were loosely based on their actual costumes in the comics. And unlike Pokémon where Pre-Evolved Pokémon are a separate species from their Evolved forms even when they hatch as eggs, every Marémon is born from an egg in a Pre-Matured form before becoming their Matured forms regardless of whether the parents are in their Pre-Matured forms or not. Now in relation to my version of the show within WandaVision, there will be references to sitcoms that focus on animals instead of just regular sitcoms. Think shows like Lassie, Mr. Ed, Flipper, Woof! and Dog with a Blog.
Episode 74: Vexing Hex Field!
After Darcy took Monica back to the bed behind the computer screens, Peter and the others introduced themselves to Darcy explaining their journeys in more detail.
"We arrived from Xandar City not long ago, and we were hoping to get into the Anomaly to find out what happened," Peter said, finishing his side of the story.
Darcy's eyes widened. "You want to go inside the Hex Field?"
"Hex Field? I thought it was called the Anomaly," MJ remarked.
"Only the media calls it that," Darcy clarified. "The red thing outside is actually called the Hex Field, because it's shaped like a hexagon and I think Wanda's Marémon Witchlet created it."
"Witchlet?" Thor was perplexed. "I know one of Witchlet's attacks is called Hex Barrier, but it's not big enough to swallow an entire city."
"Not a typical Hex Barrier, but this one might have been enhanced by an Infinity Stone," Darcy speculated. "And I think it's the Reality Stone specifically, because of what's happened to Sokovia City inside the Hex Field."
Darcy moved her chair aside so the TV screen was visible to everyone. They saw Pepper Potts, Gwen Stacy, and Peter Quill standing to the left side of a brunette-haired girl wearing a red jacket over a red plaid skirt with black leggings and leather boots, who was lying on a couch in a living room that looked like a built interior. Standing to the girl's right was a living Tony Stark, a girl with green skin and magenta-tipped hair, and a boy with silver hair. On top of that, everyone on the TV was wearing retro-style clothing with canned laughter playing after every other word they said.
"Is that Wanda?" Liz said, pointing to the girl in the red jacket.
"Yep," Darcy nodded.
"This can't be real!" Thor remarked, pointing at Tony and the silver-haired boy. "How can Tony and Wanda's brother Pietro still be alive? I saw them both die."
"My guess is that they're mental projections created by Witchlet's Mind Distortion power, and they've been given solid form thanks to the Reality Stone," Darcy said. "It would explain why Vistro is not dead now."
Looking back at the TV, Thor noticed a Marémon made of green metal with red hexagonal nuts along its joints and a ball-shaped yellow gemstone on its hexagonal head. Standing next to it on the living room floor was another Marémon, whom Thor recognized was Witchlet due to its feminine body, long dark hair, upward spikes that resembled a crown, and red flowing trails that resembled the ends of a coat.
"So that's Vistro," Peter said, looking at the metallic Marémon. "I remember he died in the Infinity War because his forehead gemstone was removed, which happened to be the Mind Stone, and Witchlet was devastated because she loved him."
"Sounds like you kept up with the news," Darcy remarked. "But according to this show, not only is Vistro alive but he and Witchlet now have kids."
Not believing Darcy, Peter got a closer look at the TV screen. The camera panned down from Vistro and Witchlet, showing two Marémon of smaller size. One was a humanoid figure wearing a red cape and a blue band around its short black hair, while the other looked like a light-blue zebra colt with a silver lightning streak along its body.
"That's a Wikkid, the Pre-Matured form of Witchlet," Peter said, pointing to the Marémon with the red cape and then the zebra Marémon. "And that's a Spedfoal, the Pre-Matured form of Quickze, the Marémon Pietro had before he died."
"But how could Witchlet and Vistro have procreated to make eggs that would hatch into Wikkid and Spedfoal?" MJ said out of confusion. "Interspecies mating between Marémon is rare, and can only be done between Marémon of similar species — with Salidow being the exception."
"And did I hear you correctly when you said this was a show?" Thor said, pointing to the TV screen. "Isn't this what is happening in Sokovia City?"
"Okay, one question at a time!" Darcy snapped, adjusting her glasses. "Yes, what you're seeing is what's happening in Sokovia City. But for some reason, it's being broadcasted to us as a fictional TV show called Wanda & Vistro."
Darcy then moved to one of the computer screens and clicked on a file. It showed video files of the same interior Wanda was in, only she was wearing clothes from an earlier time period and the images were black and white.
"The broadcasts began shortly after the Hex Field appeared and swallowed up Sokovia City along with its residents and the visitors, which included Pepper Potts, Peter Quill, and Gwen Stacy among them," Darcy said. "As you can see, it looks like a sitcom show where the Marémon are the main focus."
"Like Marby?" Peter said.
"Marby? You mean that show from the 1950s about the kid with the Marby who kept getting into trouble?" Betty said.
"Yeah, Wanda & Vistro started off being like that show right down to the fact that it takes place in a small town called Westview and not Sokovia City," Darcy said. She then clicked on a similar file where the videos were in color though the clothes everyone wore were still old-fashioned. "Then toward the end of last week, it moved up to the 1960s in look resembling the show Namor."
"Oh, I remember that show," Liz said remorsefully. "My dad and I bonded over it, with me pretending to be Betty Dean and hoping to have just as strong of a bond with my Marémon as Betty did with her Namor."
"Then it briefly went to the 1970s when Wikkid and Spedfoal were born, and now it's in the 1980s," Darcy concluded.
Just then, Monica began to stir from her bed.
