" Words are the source of misunderstandings. "
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
(ROUEN, FRANCE: 12:30 PM)
After talking with the new visitor, Elder Carol Danvers spent time sweeping around the mansion's garden which her son used to do every afternoon. Busying herself working, she thought of Amnon returning home. Suddenly, she widened her eyes to her astonishment as her seventh sense got activated. She sensed the arrival of the Kree Eternal and his son and paused her work. Asuga, the blind Inhuman, was talking to Dr. Jusis Vandark along with the others. The residents looked at the elderly half-Kree lady and stopped working. Vandark noticed her and approached.
" Ms. Danvers, is there something wrong? " the elderly paranormal scientist asked.
" Amnon... Methu-Selah…" she muttered and exclaimed. " They're in Paris! "
" That's good news! We can see them for their safe return and reunion! "
" No, Jusis, it's not that, " she answered. " There's something wrong! "
" The air has told me there's trouble coming, Danvers-san, " Asuga warned. " Those same people who Amnon has been running away from. "
" The MTF…"
" Yes. "
Vandark seriously replied, " You must go now, Ms. Danvers, before it's too late! "
Carol felt anxious and had no choice, but to see her son and friend's whereabouts in Paris. Vandark, Asuga, and the others gave her the approval to leave the mansion. The elderly half-Kree woman nodded and instantly flew above the skies.
The clear blue sky and the wind greeted her when she flew above Rouen to Paris. She closely inspected the ground for the whereabouts of the MTF and the Ethiopian Rebel Forces on the streets, until she saw a group of people at the park. She hid in the branches of the tree and witnessed the sudden confusion.
Without warning, they all heard a sniper rifle fired. Amnon was shot directly in the head with the same Crystal bullets. His body went limp and fell to the ground while the crystals spread rapidly. He and his father groaned, excruciating in pain. Carol remained speechless and shocked to see her son being shot.
" Great Pama! Somebody help us! "Methu-Selah and Amnon-Selah yelled in unison.
Shortly after, another sniper was fired within the distance and went through Amnon's head. He was bleeding profusely in blue blood. Then effectively, turning his head into shards and slowly dissolved.
" No! " Roosevelt exclaimed.
Carol thought of showing up and hindering the sniper, however she noticed the Kree Eternal immediately revealed himself and healed his son's body. She turned to the MTF people and clenched her fists in anger.
" Those insolents! " she angrily muttered.
Amnon was recovering from that fatal blow when he slowly crawled and watched his father illuminated his both hands. Carol also thought the same way, but her attention was directed to her son's recovery.
" What's going on?! " he thought and sensed his mother's presence. " Wait, Mom?! Are you here? Where are you? "
" Kid, I'm right here, "Carol telepathically said.
" Methu-Selah just saved me. Mom, you have to come here with us. "
" I'm watching you right now. Don't worry, I will show up. You should trust your hero, understand? "
" I will. "
" STOP THIS NONSENSE! " the Kree Eternal furiously exclaimed. " HOW DARE YOU HURT MY APPRENTICE! ALL OF YOU SHALL PAY! "
" Methu-Selah! Listen, that was our own men! Calm down! " Roosevelt replied.
" You humans do not understand my warnings! "
" Master... Please return to my shell! " Amnon spoke.
" I'll watch all of your actions, " the Kree returned to Amnon's body.
Carol sighed in relief and saw her son returned to normal, thanks to his father. Then, she watched the Rebel Forces and the MTF observing the place.
The MTF Sergeant turned to the Commander and said, " I thought you sent them a message. "
" I did, but it may have taken a while for it to reach them, " Roosevelt sighed and turned to the Kree-Lizard hybrid.
" Please forgive my master, he has been so difficult for this adjustment, " Amnon humbly spoke and begged. " Please, I'll do anything, just don't hurt us! I will work harder for you to keep up. "
" We will, but I think the entire legion isn't aware of…"
Another sniper was heard being fired as it penetrated Amnon's chest, and soon after, a barrage of sniper bullets rained onto him. Carol noticed it coming and clenched her both fists when she illuminated and blasted it to the sniper's direction. The MTF troopers and the others got surprised to see a bright golden yellow light coming from the trees. The sniper quickly dodged from the blast. Methu-Selah sensed his female friend was hiding and noticed his son got wounded once again.
" Master, help! "Amnon-Selah cried.
His father got out of his son's body and turned to the sniper and released his cosmic energy blasts to the sniper.
" It is a Kree soldier hiding on the top of those buildings! One from Kasius's men! "
Roosevelt tried to contact the nearest FW legion Troopers, " CEASE FIRE, YOU IDIOTS, WHEREVER YOU ARE! "
Within the sniper's podium, a blue-Kree man dressed in a FW MTF Trooper uniform jumped from his position and widened his eyes in shock. The blue energy blast contacted the podium and destroyed it.
" Crap…" the Kree sniper muttered and said to himself. " Kasius would be mad to hear of this. That Kree Eternal's kid should be dead by now! Now, it's time to act. "
He started initiating a level 10 alert signal within a 100 miles radius and turned to the MTF and Rebel Forces, " Let's see if you can hinder me, but I'll make sure I can kill Methu-Selah's hybrid brat. "
MTF Sergeant received the alert signal, " An FW Trooper had initiated a level 10 alert signal, sir! "
Upon witnessing the confusion, Elder Kamala Khan rushed herself to the sniper's position and immediately took the FW MTF Trooper with her long arms.
" Got problems, Sonny? " she grinned and grabbed the man.
" Let me go! Let me go! "
" You're hurting one of our elders here! "
" Argh…" he soon activated a hidden plasma blade and plunged it into the Inhuman's arm. Elder Kamala removed the blade and tightened the trooper as she found a Kree soldier in disguise.
" There, I've got your wolf in sheep's clothing! " she exclaimed.
" Thank you… " Methu-Selah healed Amnon's body and smiled.
" Arrest him! " the MTF Sergeant ordered the others.
The Kree Eternal returned to his son's body and remained there. The Rebel Forces and the MTF troopers took the Kree man from the Elderly Inhuman. Carol watched from the trees and smirked.
" Now, there's your culprit…" she thought and heard the sniper kept reasoning.
" W-Wait, I can…" the blue Kree soldier paused.
Without taking any chances, Roosevelt quickly drew his pistol and fired into the Kree soldier's skull. It bled with the same color of Amnon's blood. Carol watched the scene and crossed her arms.
" There…"
" Excellent shot, sir! " the RR MTF Trooper commented.
Suddenly, a blue skinned man with a pair of lamb horns appeared. He was a semi-balded one and wearing dark clothes. The Rebel Forces saluted him along with the MTF troopers. Roosevelt recognized and approached the Kree-Faunus man as he shook hands.
" I'm afraid that man is a spy from Kasius, " he said. " He has been following us ever since from Jerusalem to Russia. "
" But, why did it have the MTF uniform? There were no reports of any casualties within the suburbs of Paris, " the RR MTF trooper got puzzled.
" Or even a crazier thought, it could've been a defective Kree Soldier, " his fellow answered.
" Or, perhaps, he's some sleuth who stole some uniform, " a male voice echoed. " I could have burned him myself, but I'm seeing photon blasts here. "
Elder Pyromaniac and Firefly turned to the other man and recognized him. He was a tall and well-built man. He has dark hair with streaks of gold. He hugged his parents as everyone saw them. Carol sighed and saw her son and the Kree Eternal were on the ground. She thought of reuniting with them anytime soon.
" Philip? " the elderly Inhuman spouses hugged him back.
" Mom! Dad! " Philip happily beamed to see them both.
Methu-Selah smiled and turned to his son," A family reunion, it is indeed interesting! "
" Yes, it is, "Amnon-Selah felt pleased and replied." Did you sense my mother here? "
" I did, "he nodded." She's hiding in one of those trees. "
" Why can't she show up? "
" She has her reasons, son. "
" Right. "
Suddenly, Carol sensed another signal coming and turned her head around. Then, Roosevelt received a critical signal, which actually created a loud electronic burst that everyone heard.
" What on Hala is that? " she muttered and covered her ears.
" Ah!...God, that hurt! " the MTF Commander yelled.
Philip Williams' device got a loud alarm and took it, turning it off. He sighed and departed from his parents' arms, " Sorry, it must have been a signal glitch earlier. It seems we have been expecting you all. "
" We are sorry about the misunderstanding from our MTF brothers. I believe you brought a very interesting guest to meet, " Absalom added.
" Yep, it's a rare creature within these days, " Roosevelt smiled and chuckled.
Absalom turned to Amnon and Methu-Selah, " Don't worry, I understood that Kree Eternal seer is within his hybrid apprentice. As a payment for this damage, I shall give benefits for them. "
" Did you say benefits? "Amnon-Selah and his father spoke in unison.
" You'll be living in a Parisian lifestyle for a while. "
" We've got some goods from the past, like signature clothes, and food from the local nomadic tribes and Rebel Forces. It's like you'll be living in Old Paris before the invasion happened, " Philip added.
" Yep, come this way, my friends, " the Kree-Faunus man invited everyone as they were heading to the streets of Paris.
" Um, Absalom, Philip, I don't need to alarm you ,but there's a Firewing legion squad coming this way as we speak, " the MTF Sergeant added.
" Don't worry, Sergeant. They are minimally armed, so it's only an integration squad, " Roosevelt smiled.
The rest had left the park and headed to the streets of Paris. Carol flew and followed above, making sure that the people from the ground would not notice her. She watched her son return to his cage. The vehicles were roaming around the streets. The MTF Troopers and the other members of the Rebel Forces were talking and discussing.
" The Firewing legion is in Montmartre district as we are approaching. They are expecting you as well, " Absalom reminded. " You might explain the events upon your arrival. "
" Well that's the first time I've ever seen one in action before, " The RR MTF trooper said when his partner looked out the window while driving. They saw another vehicle coming in front of them.
" Hang on...isn't that-...It's Commando Buck's squad 7, with ARC Troopers! " his partner said, stopped, and parked the truck in the middle of the street.
" All right, " Roosevelt looked at the vehicle. " But unfortunately, we might need to be haunted for a little bit. Commando Buck might need to talk to us about something. "
Looking around, Amnon-Selah smiled, sighed, and saw the former tourist attractions. He began daydreaming and recalled those days when he was reading a book about Paris.
" Clothes, Food, Everything! "he cheerfully smiled." I can't wait! Perhaps, Mom is watching us from above! I wish she's here with us. "
" You will experience Paris in my days. Be still, my boy, "his father answered." We're closely approaching. I know she will be there anytime. "
" Just have patience, everyone. I'll talk to him, " the Commander left the vehicle and walked over to the Commando with his squad of ARC Troopers. " Buck, my friend…"
" Silence, Commander. We've received a casualty report of one of our own troopers. So, explain, " Buck sternly replied.
" Um...Well,...um. "
Buck Henderson looked behind the Commander as he saw Amnon at the back of the truck.
" We have reported that you've captured one of the Indestruc who turned out to be the overlord's accuser, " he continued. " We cannot risk it within a fragile city. "
" Buck, please let me explain, " Roosevelt pleaded.
" Also, that very same trooper was ordered to execute that accuser. It's been five decades that we've been hunting him. So tell me, why didn't you and your own Troopers kill that monster with the Keter Crystals that we've provided you earlier? "
Roosevelt was sweating in fear and turning around the large truck with people. He didn't want to alarm them. Just above the skies, Carol sternly glared at the other faction of the MTF and observed the sudden tension. She looked at her son in the cage and thought of an idea.
" Kid, distract that fool, "she telepathically said." You and Methie can do it. Just make sure, you can convince him. "
" Got it! "Amnon-Selah replied and turned to his father." I know you heard my mother, Old Man. I'm giving you my permission to speak. "
" Right, "the Kree Eternal responded, turned to the Commando, and politely greeted him. " Bonjour, monsieur! "
Buck was surprised that a Kree-Lizard hybrid greeted in French and scratched his head. He sternly glared at the Amnon even though Methu-Selah was controlling his body. The Kree father and son secretly read the MTF's mind as they understood him.
" I knew you could speak English, but when the hell did you learn a different language?! " he indignantly asked.
" Monsieur Henderson, " Methu-Selah calmly answered using his son's voice. " Your people have been chasing me for five decades. How surprising that we have encountered again in the City of Lights. If I answer your question, I have spent my two to six years in Rouen, France. Then, I met some generous people who taught me to communicate with the language of love. Unlike you who harshly kept and maltreated me in my early years. How dare you even do that to me! You didn't understand how painful it was to face death and labeled as the monster you have thought of, but YOU'RE WRONG! "
Buck remained speechless, heard the Kree Eternal's words, and said, " Lie all you want 682, but I don't believe that bull crap anymore. Especially after that whole Site 19 crisis. Now, you're a damned accuser chosen by that tyrant. "
Amnon-Selah returned to his body and sternly replied, " I'm a changed man now. By the way, my name is not 682."
The Kree-Lizard hybrid grabbed the MTF Commando's hands and stunned him with a bright blue light. Buck widened his eyes as he saw his future and yelled in fear. Amnon had let go of the MTF soldier's hand. Buck became more terrified than ever as he was shaking.
" Are you mind blown? " he indignantly asked.
He glared at Amnon for a good minute before turning to his ARC Troopers, " Execute him, he may turn later on. "
" Yes, sir! " the ARC troopers circled around Amnon as they drew swords that were made of the same crystals as the bullets.
" I'm not taking any chances with your lies. You may inherit powers beyond the human imagination, but you'll only come back to stab us in the back. So, for the sake of this. I will end this once and for all! " Buck glared at Amnon.
" No, you lied to me for the record! You kept the truth from me for several years! I'm not turning back to that tyrant, ever! I found the Kree Eternal who will help me! "
" You still did not believe in him and me…" a deeper male voice echoed.
The Kree Eternal revealed to the Commando and left his son's body. Buck got frightened to see the Methu-Selah sitting beside Amnon.
" And his Kree name is Amnon-Selah, get that right! "
" And I'm not taking any chances from a Kree like you… " Buck looked at the ARC Trooper. " Alpha, enhance your weapon. "
" Yes, sir, " she pulled out a small staff and began to enhance her weapon.
" All remaining Arc Troopers attack. And be sure to show no mercy! "
The female ARC trooper concentrated more with the enhancement, " Almost there..."
All the Arc began slashed and cut off the limbs of Amnon as crystals started to rapidly form during the process. Carol watched from a distance and saw the brutality from below. Methu-Selah thought of diverting them and blasted them with radiant blue light as they got stunned.
" Stop this! " Amnon-Selah yelled in pain.
" LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU FOOLS! " the Kree Eternal hindered the ARC troopers.
" Everyone, Amnon and Methu-Selah are part of the Rebel Forces! You must treat them with respect! " Elder Galenn-Konn yelled. " They are really important to us! "
" But I'm sure you've fought him before and knew the damage he could do, I'm not taking any chances! "
" Methu-Selah needs to train Amnon for his new journey. It is the only way he could pass on his legacy. The Elder has no child to pass on. Only, Amnon can. "
" Damn that legacy! He's a threat to humanity itself! " Bucky angrily gritted his teeth and yelled.
" You people don't understand my words in my previous lives. I have seen your world fighting your invaders. Now, I have come to support using Amnon as my apprentice, " Methu-Selah sternly replied.
" I can be your slave if you want. Just listen to my master's words! " Amnon-Selah cried. " Please, I don't want to hurt you anymore! "
" Methu-Selah is a wandering prophet! Please he must be treated with respect as well as his servant. He carries our future! " Absalom reasoned.
One of the ARC Soldiers ceased targeting and the others approached Amnon and Methu-Selah. Carol couldn't take the brutality from Buck's faction and thought of descending.
" Who cares! The Indestruc and the Kree are powerful allies with one another. So, if we take down the leader of those species, then the rest of them would fall for a short while! " Buck yelled.
Some of the ARC Troopers kept on hacking and slashing the remaining torso and head of Amnon. The others wanted to stop them from this brutality, but they were helpless in sparing him.
" Stop this! " the Kree-Lizard hybrid yelled in pain. " HELP! "
" Sir, he keeps on regenerating at an impossible rate, There's no way to even him now! " the ARC trooper said.
" His Damned Kree and 682 genes! " Buck muttered and looked over to Alpha who had completed the enhancement, " ...Alpha strike now! "
" Roger! " Alpha took her stance with the now transparent sword.
All of the other Arc Troopers jumped out of the way as Alpha dashed to Amnon and struck where his now crystalized heart was, but without any physical damage.
" Hah! " she slashed using her sword out of Amnon's body and left him bleeding in blue blood.
" Stop this….." he cried and turned to the others. " Help me…."
Shortly after, the body of Amnon started to fade away as particles came off him and shortly after his body combusted into unknown particles and they slowly dissipated into nothing. Suddenly, a bright golden yellow light blasted the ARC troopers. They all got struck down as Buck angrily glared at the attacker. Elder Carol Danvers in Binary form appeared from the skies and descended onto the ground.
Everyone looked at her when Methu-Selah slowly brought back Amnon's remaining particles into life by his light soul and Kree blood without being noticed. Carol angrily glared at the ARC troopers.
" You damned fools! "she angrily spoke to them." You all don't even understand a word, do you?! Stop this mess, once and for all! "
The other ARC troopers were terrified to see her. Buck ignored the half-Kree woman and crossed his arms.
" Cut the crap! " the ARC trooper sighed heavily. " We need to stop this! Captain Marvel is here! "
" It's too late…." Buck said.
" You idiots! "Carol harshly spoke to them. " Don't you even realize I have raised the boy for damn two years as my son! You guys are maltreating him again! What kind of people are you?! He's different from that monster! You guys are not satisfied enough in slaughtering him! You are the real monsters, not him! "
The rest of the ARC troopers felt ashamed to confront the elderly half-Kree woman as they put the weapons down. Carol reverted to her normal self and stood beside Amnon who had just recovered from that brutality. Methu-Selah joined his friend and son and stood in between them.
" I'm sorry…" Alpha sadly spoke.
" We never realized…." the ARC trooper added.
" My friends, we came here to join not to fight you, " Methu-Selah broke his silence and stressedly explained. " Your enemies are greater than those tyrants you saw! "
Amnon-Selah opened his eyes and wept as he instantly hugged her, " Mom… I'm so scared..."
" It's okay, I'm here along with the Kree Eternal. No one's gonna harm you, " she hugged him back and kissed his forehead. " We're all together now. "
Roosevelt got convinced and understood as he saw Methu-Selah and Carol were hugging the Kree-Lizard hybrid. He smiled to see them reuniting. Buck ignored the family reunion and crossed his arms.
" If you all open your ears and listen to yourselves! You're all acting more mindless and manipulated than a hollow! "
" RelaxBuck, we need him," Roosevelt calmly spoke and pointed to the family." I mean, we all need them. "
" That's the decision up to either the Elite Commander or Lord Hood, " Buck remained stern to his words.
" Please, Buck. You have seen and heard the boy has nothing to do with 682. All he wants is to reunite with his family here. "
" Heh, family?! He might kill them soon. "
" Have you ever forgotten his origins before?! He deserves the truth! He's not the monster that we have thought of! "
" He's right. 682 is a threat not even to humanity itself, but the Kree too, " the other ARC trooper replied.
" People, we need your help in defeating Kasius, " the hybrid broke his silence and stood apart from his parents. " I'm no longer a threat, but a servant of the Kree Eternal Methu-Selah and an adopted son of Carol Danvers. My real name is Amnon-Selah. I am here to tell you the truth. Please, you have to listen to me. "
" And yet you were manipulated into being a servant of a being of greater power than you, including that old lady. Honestly, you really disappoint me. "
" Did I disappoint you? No, you all disappointed me from the beginning, " the hybrid said. " It was no accident I left that facility and started on my own, but you kept chasing me, even though I tried helping your people fight against the invaders for years! I have been hiding and sparing the slaves if you didn't know. Until I met my mother here! I got abducted in this city six months ago! I spent being enslaved and manipulated by the overlord. "
" Really? " Buck chuckled and found the Kree-Lizard's testimony ridiculous.
" It was not an accident that I met my master yesterday! For your information, my master has lived on your planet for a long time. Now, he needs to fulfill this prophecy in freeing the slaves and unify all the races against our enemies. The Lord of Abyss will destroy this planet anytime soon, if we do not remain united! Kasius is hindering us to live our freedom and our future! Now, we have to be united or else danger will strike all of us! These are my master's words. I believed in them because I knew how horrible and hard this invasion was! You people don't even understand it at all! "
" You're crazy, you're just unbelievably beyond insane. " he spoke and turned to his ARC Troopers. " ARC Troopers, take the RR legion and their commander, and Amnon into custody, including the others who oppose! "
" Sir, yes sir! " the few loyal ARC troopers answered.
" Hey, stop this! Please, no! " Amnon-Selah cried and tried to break free.
The two Arc Troopers dragged the hybrid as the others demanded the RR legion to follow them, which the RR legion complied without any question.
Buck sighed and looked to the nomadic community, " I'm sorry this isn't a warm welcome, but we had to do what needs to be done. And the last time, we have ever trusted a being that can see the future, it will only lead us to the brink of death. "
" Why did I think this was a good idea? " Roosevelt asked and found this conflict ridiculous.
" Shut up and stick with the program. We might even have to check up to see if your inhibitor chip is damaged, " the other ARC trooper answered.
" We're already on the case for it. It's just been a slow start for us to be kicked bad, not gear, " Buck answered.
Carol saw her son being taken away and became more furious than ever. She looked at the Moulin Rouge structure and remembered the day she and her companions made a memorial -Selah was about to hinder her, but she instantly blasted the two ARC troopers down as Buck widened his eyes in shock. They quickly dodged from the blast, cried, and ran away. They brought the others down and surrendered. Carol glared at the Commando and illuminated her left hand to threaten him. This appalling scenario had triggered her light soul to form her Binary energy.
" You….just…." Buck turned to the elder and got more intimidated to see her. " B-But…why?! "
" Mr. Henderson, there will be no second Moulin Rouge Mutiny, ever! No more! "she indignantly stressed her words, used her index finger, and pointed on the ground and then to Buck." I am going to kill you if YOU DARE! "
'' Kill me?! What the heck are you talking about?! I don't understand…."
" For your information, you're standing on the same street where the people had perished more than a decade ago. Now, you're doing the same thing all over again. Like you said, you have to do what needs to be done. What's next?! You will kill all the people who you label as Indestrucs, even if they are innocent and victims of injustice and abuse! So, congratulations, you have completely ruined a hybrid boy who has been suffering from PTSD and depression because of your reckless actions! "
" Lady, you don't understand, that boy is a threat to humanity and…"
Carol instantly used her photon energy blast when the ARC troopers' vehicles exploded into smithereens. Buck became more furious than ever and facepalmed. The others became more terrified to confront the elderly half-Kree.
" Oh, Geez! What the hell?! " he loudly cried. " Lady, are you an Indestruc, too?! "
" That's for being reckless and brutal to my son! One more damn gunshot or slashing from you or you'll get toast from me! So, let them go or we'll talk more civilized than you did. They respectfully tried reasoning with you, but you horribly refused to listen, "she seriously answered and crossed her arms." You consider yourself as a soldier, but you act like a barbarian. You're the real lunatic and monster, not my son! "
" I'm so sorry, ma'am….I…."
" Now, you people need to fix yourselves in these dire times. "
The rest of the nomadic community and the RR and ARC troopers joined and stood behind Methu-Selah and Carol. Amnon rejoined with his parents as Buck felt ashamed and guilty when he heavily sighed.
" We do not intend such violence, but your world will be extinct if you don't heed to our warning, " the Kree Eternal sighed. " You people are uncivilized. I hope you all learned your lesson. "
" We have heard enough. The seer is indeed right, " a male voice echoed as he appeared to be a tall brunette man wearing a white MTF uniform. Kai Izalieth noticed Carol Danvers, Methu-Selah, and Amnon-Selah reunited after this sudden conflict. " I mean, they're right. "
" We all do need their help, " the man named Lord Hood added. " Now, bring them to us. "
" You believe? " Methu-Selah curiously raised his voice as Carol and Amnon both exchanged glances in unbelief.
" Of course, we do, " Kai smiled and nodded. " We have been looking for you even in your true form for years."
" Oh!...E-elite Commander Kai! Let me explain...We...um…" Buck nervously chuckled and scratched his head. " B-by the way, Captain Marvel just appeared and exploded our vehicle units and…."
" Enough Buck, you have caused tension between our own forces as we speak. We have never expected Miss Danvers to appear. You have tremendously done in triggering her, I take it. "
" But, we were following what you…"
" With exceptions of course, " Kai sternly replied and turned to Methu-Selah's family. " As for the three of you, we need to talk. "
" I just came here when you guys harmed him in the first place, so why bother?! " Carol raised her voice in doubt and spoke in-behalf of the Kree Eternal and his son. " I don't expect any help from the MTF at all after all you have done with Amnon before! I have heard everything from him. "
" I do apologise for what happened, Ms. Danvers. Roosevelt has reported of the Kree Eternal's sudden transformation in Ethiopia as well as his servant's six month captivity and manipulation from the slave den. This is the right time for us to help you out. "
" I hope you make it right for my son and Methie. I'm still half-hearted to trust the MTF, despite one of your respectable scientists had a very decent plan for Amnon thirty years ago. Do you understand what I have been arguing about in years?! "
" Yes, I understand that, ma'am. "
" Make sure you have it resolved and sorted, Kai. "
" We will treat you as one of our VIPs, " Kai turned to Amnon and Methu-Selah. " We assure you will be safe in your temporary custody. "
" Thank you, " the father and son responded in unison and smiled.
" And as for you…." he again looked at Buck and sternly reminded. " Take you and your troopers' attitude somewhere else. We'll talk about this later. "
" Sir, yes, sir…." Buck sadly sighed and bowed his head in shame.
" Good, " Kai smiled.
Carol and Methu-Selah sternly glared at the Commando as Buck became more anxious and uncomfortable in seeing them. He gave them a wryly grin as Amnon-Selah sincerely smiled back at him. Then, he immediately left along with the ARC troopers in shame.
" Mom, Are we going back to the mansion in Rouen? " the Kree-Lizard hybrid turned to his mother and asked.
" Kid, this is a slight change of plans since we're already here in Paris, " Carol answered. " I know you badly missed our friends there. Don't worry, we will be home soon as Methu-Selah and I are still under your care. We have to wait for the two forces' decision. "
" Son, your mother's right, " his father added. " We're in good hands now. As long as we are together as a family, we can start over here. Or perhaps, I could invite and bring a couple of friends to visit us. How's that sound to you? "
Amnon-Selah intently looked at his parents and realized his ultimate goal of reuniting with his mother and then searching for his hero had finally been fulfilled. It took him years to search for a family which he has been longing for. The Kree Eternal and his beloved friend exchanged glances and understood.
" Kid? " she raised her voice. " Did 682 get your tongue? "
" No, no… I just found out my searching for a real family and the Kree Eternal is over, " he sincerely smiled and turned to his parents, hugging them as he wept tears of joy. " Oh, Great Tam-Borr and Lord Supremor, Thank you! Thank you! I can live peacefully! This is just the beginning of breaking the curse of 682 and Kasius! I'm so glad I found you both! This is the best day of my life, ever! My dream has come true! "
Roosevelt and the others had overheard the family's conversation as they felt pleased and thought of something. One of the elders approached them.
" You must be Car-Ell. I'm so sorry to ruin your moment, " the Kree leader of the Ethiopian Rebel Forces approached the three and politely spoke. " My name is Galenn-Konn. If ever you get bothered and stressed out with those MTF people, we'll bring Methu-Selah and Amnon-Selah with us. We can accommodate everyone who is a worthy ally. Please feel free to stay with us for the meantime. You're always welcome with us. "
" Thank you for the offer, " she said. " But let's see how this civilized ordeal goes. If not, we will return home to Rouen for good. "
" We'll keep it noted. "
" We need to change our clothes as well as them, " Dr. Pyromaniac got embarrassed and turned to his wife. " Sunshine, shall we? "
" Yeah, " Elder Firefly nodded and shrugged. " Like we have just moved to France from Ethiopia, we need to change our wardrobe. "
" Dad, Mom. I'll take you all to the apartments, " Philip said. " Just come along with me, and we're set! "
" Thanks, Flip. It's good to have you with us. "
" Sure, mom. Let's go, " the younger pyrokinetic Inhuman assisted to get his parents' belongings.
Methu-Selah turned to the younger Inhuman couple and said, " You two can join. "
" Thanks, " Paul smiled and turned to the other Inhuman. " Is this our son in this world? "
" He looks just like us combined, " Yang smiled.
" Yes, his name is Philip Williams, " the Kree Eternal said. " He has a family living with him. "
" Such a good person, he is. "
" Okay, we'll meet up properly later then, " Kai turned to the others and called their attention. " Firstly, I would need to talk to Buck and his team. Oh, one more thing, along the way, You'll might meet up My friend Skoúro. She and her troopers would provide some new clothes and food inside the flats. "
" Thanks, I'll meet them, " Philip smiled and nodded.
" Philip, you seem to be a good soldier, " Paul commented and gently patted at the other Inhuman's shoulder.
" Definitely, your parents are so proud to have you, " Yang added.
Philip got blushed and felt surprised as he looked at the elderly and the younger spouses, " Wow! thanks! That's such a wonderful day, then. "
" No problem, " Kai calmly smiled at them all. " Well, see you all later then! "
All of the seven troopers followed the Elite Commander and headed off to the streets. Carol and Methu-Selah turned to their son and stood in between him.
" Are you reminiscing there, Kid? " his mother asked.
" Mom, it's been so long since I've seen Kai, " the Kree-Lizard hybrid said. " I'm sorry, my 682 memories got messed up in my head, recently. "
" We know that, Amnon, " Methu-Selah replied. " Thanks to him and your mother, they have rescued us from that tumult.
" Well, Old Man, I don't blame, Buck. It might be either the carbon sickness or his PTSD that 682 might have caused. I do understand how that feels. "
" Kid, you're with us, now, " the elderly half-Kree woman reminded her son. " We'll help you out to make those nightmares into dreams. We're not gonna let you down. "
" Sure, thanks, Mom, " Amnon smiled at his parents. " I will count on you, guys. "
" Just off-topic here, son, " his father recalled. " He reminded me of my other friend from when I once served in the Kree army. I disguised myself as a Skrull to fight the enemy lines, but he almost killed me. "
" Really? How come? "
" I felt the same experience as you had earlier. "
" Right, we're on the same page, I guess, " Amnon nodded and continued. " Well, Kai is another story who you can ask. We'll talk about that later. I hope we won't lose track. So, let's find our apartments, help anyone and…."
The Kree-Lizard hybrid paused and lost his track as his parents looked at him with concern. It took several minutes to stand still. Amnon-Selah began recalling that day before the earthquake and the time he had escaped. It was the same being who he encountered back in New York before Kasius punished him for his failures.
" Amnon-Selah?! " His father called the hybrid's Kree name. " Is everything alright? Are you okay? "
" Kid, your superhero is calling you, " Carol gently patted her son's shoulder when Amnon turned to them.
" Oh...sorry, I'm the one who has lost track then! " he chuckled and snapped his fingers. " Wait...Skoúro...Skoúro...why does that name sound so familiar? Is the Telekill moment or meeting with Old Methu-Selah helping me to gain my real memories? "
" Both, " his mother instantly answered and softly laughed.
" Well, I hope we can get along well with them. She might be your friend. Am I right? " Methu-Selah gave his son a suggestive look.
" Yeah, I guess we're going to talk about them later. "
" You need to change that damn Kree Accuser uniform into civilian clothing and throw it for good, " his mother whispered. " Everyone knows about your killing sprees before. You don't want to start and cause another trouble, do you? "
Amnon looked at his clothes and sadly sighed, " Thanks, mom. I guess I'll restart my life as a regular guy like I have used to."
" Well, here we are, " Methu-Selah pointed at the place where Philip and the others had gone. Carol and Amnon were surprised to see some people from the MTF who lived in the district.
" Huh, that's odd, " the Kree-Lizard hybrid curiously looked at the street. " There are only troopers. Where are the others who live here? "
" You'll find that out, Kid, " the elderly half-Kree answered and held her son's hands along with Methu-Selah. " Now, we need to keep going. "
" Right. "
Roosevelt quickly ran towards the other legion ,specifically their commander. The Kree Eternal's family curiously looked at them and exchanged glances at each other.
" Commander Thorn! " he greeted.
" Hmmmm…." Thorn muttered as he was cladded in a mixture of red and white uniform. Then, he turned to see Roosevelt. " Well, I'll be damned. You actually survived that mission in Ethiopia? "
" What can I say? The Rough Rider legion is the best when dealing with harsh conditions, even in this unending alien invasion! " Roosevelt chuckled.
" Yep, " he got convinced and soon looked over Roosevelt's shoulder when he walked over to the Rebel Forces community. " So,you must the community that Rooseveltspiedon. "
" We have been travelling all the way from Ethiopia, " Elder Galenn-Konn answered. " With some two exiles from another dimension. "
" Oh, really? So then the Multiverse theory is true after all, " Thorn chuckled slightly and looked at the other Inhuman couple.
" Yes, " Paul nodded.
" Well, we are the younger counterparts of this elderly couple, " Yang added.
" Your brother Absalom Bav-Tek also mentions people found in this faction, " Methu-Selah explained and pointed at more people coming.
" Well, there they are, " the Kree-Faunus man pointed at them from a distance when the others were astonished to see them alive.
" Well, anyways, it's great to meet you all. Honestly, I have never seen the light of day to meet old heroes such as yourselves for five decades, " Thorn commented.
A group of people gathered around the streets of Montmartre as Paul and Yang were both surprised to see them. Most of them looked familiar with the other heroes as they happily flocked around to the younger Inhuman couple.
" Now, that's a very interesting reunion for them! " Carol commented and felt pleased to see them.
" Ah, as the words have come true! " Methu-Selah grinned.
" It surely does! " Amnon happily replied and smiled back at his parents '' What a grand reunion this is, like we have! "
" Just like the good old days, " his mother said.
Thorn smiled at the sight under his helmet and watched more people coming and cheering.
" Heh..." Roosevelt grinned.
" The Nui Army Squadron has been a great family! Do you think? " the Kree Eternal asked.
" Yes, it is. " Dr. Pyromaniac nodded in agreement.
" They seem to be glad to have them back together! " Elder Firefly commented.
" From what it looks, it is, " Carol added and crossed her arms.
Amnon-Selah used his cosmic awareness and remained silent as he turned his head around. His parents again looked at him with concern.
" Kid, did you just use your Kree powers again? " she asked.
" Mom...Master, " he broke his silence and turned to his parents. " I don't mean to alarm you both, but I do sense a passive dark, yet another light force coming closer. "
" So do I. But we have to be watchful at the same time. The Kree might endanger us this time, " his father nodded and understood as he gently patted his son's shoulders. " We will talk again later, son. Why don't you enjoy the rest of the day with us? You deserve this! Come on, this is your second chance to live like a normal person again! "
" Come on, Kid! Brush off the bleak past! Enjoy! " his mother smiled at him. " Go ahead, have fun! "
Amnon widened his smile and understood their suggestion. For years, he had been on the run, joining with a couple of friends from the Rebel Forces, spending time with his mother and becoming a slave under Kasius. Finally, he felt the freedom and joy which he had ever wanted.
" Yes, master, mom. " he smiled and spoke in the language of love." Oh, c'est une journée très ensoleillée pour un festin! Mais je veux écouter de la musique et ressentir l'atmosphère du Vieux Paris, (Oh, it is a very sunny day for a feast! But I want to listen to music and feel the Old Parisian atmosphere.) "
Thorn had received a message signal from someone, curiously raised his tone and grinned slightly, clearing his throat, " Alright then, everyone, why not begin your long awaited feast in Montmartre district? "
" C'est le meilleur jour de ma vie, monsieur. Nous serions ravis d'y passer, (This is best day ever, sir. We would love to spend there), "the hybrid answered and shrugged.
" Tu parles français? (You speak French?) "Roosevelt curiously turned to the Kree-Lizard boy and asked as he and Thorn got surprised to hear him responding in a non-English tongue.
" Oui, monsieur. J'ai appris cette langue pendant six mois en plus du russe il y a quelques années. Une bonne amie vient de m'apprendre. Êtes-vous surpris d'entendre qu'un hybride Kree-SCP 682 peut converser le langage de l'amour? (Yes, sir. I learned this language for six months aside from Russian few years ago. A good lady friend just taught me. Are you surprised to hear a Kree-SCP 682 hybrid can converse the language of love?) "Amnon politely replied.
" Je vois. Ça a du sens. (That makes sense.) "
" This is a great idea, " Elder Kamala Khan beamed. " We could spend more time since this is really a pretty place! "
Thorn chuckled and nodded, " Well then, whatever works for you all then. Feel free to do whatever you want. Oh, and if you experience an increase of heavy wind flow. It may or may not be caused by our General Commander. "
" Oui, la fété, sil vous plait! (Yes, a party, please!) "Elder Firefly joyfully beamed.
" Keep an eye on slave captors, they might linger somewhere else, " the Kree Eternal whispered to the other MTF Commander and warned.
" Will do, sir, " Roosevelt nodded.
" Yes, I am worried with these villagers as well, " Elder Galenn-Konn looked around to the happy crowd. " Our evil brothers from Hala along with the reptiles might endanger them. "
" Don't worry, Methu-Selah and Galenn, we have a tight security system and any intruder would most likely get immediately spotted and be captured, " Thorn assured.
" Thank you. "
" We'll coordinate as well. "
" Oh, Really? Then explain the Grimm Rabbit incident…" Roosevelt gave his fellow a pompous look and put his both hands on his waist.
" THEY WERE TOO CUTE, OKAY?! " Thorn raised his voice and sighed. " Every soldier has a soft side. Anyways, just stay on watch for anything suspicious. "
Without warning, there was a sudden wind drag that made everyone went to their knees, for a short while, the drag got up and looked up to the sky.
" There's that one of many wind drags that she created. "
" She never gets bored when she does that, doesn't she? "
" Not that I am aware of…"
