" The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater. "
- J.R.R. Tolkien
(Danakil Desert, Ethiopia: 7:30 PM)
A rugged and dark-haired Kree-Faunus man had come from walking from the streets of Addis Ababa and reached the tent where he sat and spent his time observing the people around the tent community.
" I'm glad they're still attaining their freedom in times like this, "he thought and sighed." Someday, this planet will return to its normal state of living. "
Looking around the place, he remembered what his friend and relatives had said about his missing son in years. The blue skinned cat man remained silent and looked at the stars.
" I know there will be more heroes coming into this place, "he wondered and sensed something from a distance using his cosmic awareness." What on Hala is that?! I'm also sensing another person with cosmic radiance as mine, but it's not powerful enough. Could it be my son, Amnon coming to me? I know he will take me down very soon, but I need to save his life before it's too late..."
Methu-Selah or Methuselah Belladonna stood up and stretched his both arms when one of the free nomads found him.
" Ah,anytime soon! " the Kree-Faunus hybrid exclaimed. '' I see more heroes are coming! "
" Old man, what are your orders?! " the dark-skinned man sternly asked.
" My orders?! " Methu-Selah curiously repeated the phrase and loudly laughed when the Ethiopian residents got startled at his eccentricity. " My main man, you are meeting the two heroes from the other dimension as well as the Elders of this community! You will see it for yourself! "
" Yes, it is indeed true, " the blue Kree Ethiopian goat herder added and pointed at the distance." I found them lying unconsciously in the desert minutes ago, a man and a woman buried on the ground."
" May I see them? "
" Hmmm..." the guard nodded and replied. " Let the rest know of their arrival."
The young Kree man brought Methu-Selah and the guard as they were coming to the tent. A long-haired curly Ethiopian woman in her forties attended the man and the woman on their as she checked the vitals. She was wearing a long dress with colored trimmings and kneeling down in between the two unconscious people. This woman has served as a medic in this community for some years.
" Lady Candace is taking care of them, " the Kree goat herder said.
" I knew it! It's them! " the Kree-Faunus hybrid confidently beamed.
" What are their conditions? Any serious Injuries? " the guard asked.
" They are stabilized, but they have not been awake for hours. I'm afraid they are in comatose condition, " Candace calmly replied and stood up from her position.
" I must say that we bring the two Inhuman elders in this community, " Methu-Selah turned to the young blue skinned one as he nodded.
" Yes, them. "
" I may not be wary of who these people are though, mind spilling information? " the guard curiously asked.
The Kree-Faunus man looked intently at the unconscious couple who remained bed ridden. The husband had dark hair and his wife was blonde. Methu-Selah scratched his beard and found it familiar to these people. Candace and the other two waited for him to open up.
" The man here looks like Pyromaniac, " he explained. " The younger blonde woman is Firefly. Perhaps, a Kree Terrigen Crystal or dust needs them to get awakened. "
" Let's talk to them first for their decision, " the blue goat herder added and turned to the medic. " What do you think? "
" Yes, " Candace instantly replied.
The guard nodded and left for a while. Then, he brought the two senior citizen spouses as they went to the tent.
" Candace, what is going on? " the tall elderly Inhuman asked.
" Have you found more people out there? " his wife added.
" Unfortunately, No..." the guard replied.
" We found two people in this tent as this man mentions you both, " Candace said.
" I see, do you mind if we could check them? " the elder Dr. Pyromaniac crossed his arms.
" I hope they're not from Kasius! " Firefly laughed.
" ...Hope so, " the Ethiopian guard replied. " Although, I've heard rumors that Kasius had gained a powerful ally or a race. I hope it isn't the creatures that the legends speak of. "
" Well then, he must have been taking a lot of people nowadays, " the elderly Inhuman scientist sighed. " It has been like this since fifty years ago! "
His golden blonde wife approached the other spouses and got curious. Elder Yang Xiao Long-Williams or Firefly was like a child who got happy to see someone. She signalled her husband to come over.
" Pyro-daddy! Will you look at them! " she happily repeatedly exclaimed. " Will you look at them! "
" My goodness, Newton's Laws! " Dr. Pyromaniac got startled and almost fell down to his position when Methu-Selah aided him to stand up. " The parallel universe theory has been proven! It's been a long time since I have studied that! Now, it's real! "
" See? You are seeing your younger selves! " Methu-Selah smiled.
" Parallel universes?...time?...What have I been doing with my life. Living under a rock?! " the guard felt baffled and scratched his head.
" My astrophysics lectures have come to life! Well, it's hard to understand. " the elderly Inhuman scientist exclaimed.
" Are we going to wake them up? " his wife asked.
" I'll see if I can find any crystals. If not, I'll send a party to scavenge some more. "
" No, not yet! We have to remain discrete first, " Dr. Pyromaniac sternly warned. " Kasius's army will find such terrigenetic activity. He might send out his minions to take everyone in this community. We have been hiding for five decades. We will never allow anyone to be in danger! "
" What do you mean, Doctor? We'll have a better chance if we have more powerful allies. You know, the more the merrier. "
" Well as you see, his men are hunting for more Inhumans. We will do such a procedure if they are ready. Just let them be one of us in our community, " the elder Inhuman said and turned to his wife. " I think it's time to transfer heat to them. "
" Right. " Firefly nodded.
" Well, anyways, I'll see if I can find any remaining crystals here, " the guard was about to walk off until he noticed a small boy peeking into the tent." yik'irita wet'ati ፣ yihi-(...Excuse young man, this-) "
The elderly Inhuman spouses transferred their heat to their younger counterparts.
" I hope this will work, " the guard brought the blue crystals to the two.
" All right, then," Dr. Pyromaniac sighed and nodded
The boy watched the two spouses. The rest of the people from the tent moved away as Methu-Selah smiled.
" This is it! " he thought.
An explosion of rocks and smoke occured as the elderly and younger couple made their terrigenesis. Finally, it was over when the others had entered.
" I feel younger! " Dr. Pyromaniac happily beamed.
" So do I! " Firefly added and laughed.
The younger spouses were dumbfounded in seeing their older selves. They felt astounded seeing their mirror images.
" What's going on? " the dark-haired man asked.
" Where are we? " his blonde wife became more confused than ever.
The boy's eyes enlightened at the sight of the two spouses and whispered," t'iruuuu...(...Coooool...)"
" āhuni yayehutini mameni ālichilimi! (I can't believe what I'm seeing here now!) "the guard muttered in awe.
" I understand your confusion in this world. Right now, we'll take care of you, " Firefly smiled and gently touched her younger self's hand to assure her.
" Okay... " Yang nodded and curiously raised her eyebrows to see her older self.
" For now, you need something to wear. You can't go out in that nakedness, " Dr. Pyromaniac reminded and gently patted his younger self's back.
Paul blushed in embarrassment and covered himself with a blanket, " Yes, sir. "
" Heh, you know, we do have spare armor back in the armory you could wear, " the guard chuckled.
" I do have some spare tunics in our tent. "
" And mine as well. "
" Thank you, sir, ma'am, " Paul smiled.
" It's been a pleasure to meet you both, " Yang added and felt pleased to experience such generosity from their older selves.
Methu-Selah smiled and watched from a distance to see the spouses talking with each other. He sighed and thought about Carol back in France, turning his attention to the four people inside the tent.
" Carol, I'm sorry I have to remain here, " he thought and looked at the sky. " I'm feeling that our son is out there. I can't express these mixed emotions to anyone which I have been experiencing. These people only know I'm just an old rugged blue cat who wanders around, not my powerful true self. Anytime soon, I will meet you and Amnon in France. "
The guard noticed the Kree-Faunus man's silence and stood beside him as he said, " Finally, we may have a chance against them. With two of the same heroes in their respective time here. We might be able to win this...But I feel like we might need more. "
" It is my friend. It is, " Methu-Selah nodded in agreement and replied. " The prophecy is going to be fulfilled as well as the Kree Eternal's son will come. "
" Yes, it is, " the guard replied. " But do you think we might receive more heroes? Perhaps heroes of old? I know their legends and all. "
The blue skinned cat man crossed his arms and deeply thought. He remembered his best friend, Carol Danvers who knew every hero she had encountered. Then, his late greatest nephew, Mar-Vell had met some of them before he became a street rat. Methu-Selah had encountered a lot of people from the past here on Earth and even in the cosmos. The guard noticed his silence and got curious.
" Old man? "
" Ah, yes. The Men in Black, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers once made their glorious and successful days in saving our world from your enemies. Pyromaniac was once known as Dr. P of MIB. Firefly was Agent Y. When the corrupted Kree empire changed its course, the three allied factions failed and banished forever, " the Kree-Faunus man broke his silence and changed his tone into a serious one. " My aunt had exiled when the Kree-Faunus alliance ruined. Now, the descendants, the living elders, and their parallel counterparts are our only hope in fighting those invaders. The Kree nomads and their allies will also help in saving this world. "
" Hm...You know, I may be just throwing this out there. But we could learn a thing or two from the darkness..."
Suddenly, another thin and young guard listened to the conversation,approached them, and said in his language," ibidi nehi? ch'elemani irasu lemelikami t'ik'imi yemet'ek'emi ādegani yawik'alu። (Are you mad? You know the risks of using the darkness itself to benefit good.) "
" gini Kree layi mashenefi bichenya 'idilachini līhoni yichilali ፡፡ yechigirochi budini lezelek'ētawi kalitewegede besitek'eri ānidi weyimi huleti ke'inesu memari inichili neberi ፡፡ (But it might be our only chance to win against the Kree. Unless the Legion of Watchers aren't disbanded permanently, we could've learned a thing or two from them.) "
" If I were not mistaken, my fellow Kree people banished me from my planet, because I speak everything against them. I tried to reason out with my Faunus side, but no one listened to me. Yes, everyone thinks I am lunatic. But my words will come true. " Methu-Selah slipped the truth out of his tongue when the two Ethiopian guards were surprised the blue cat man could understand their native tongue.
" Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, " the guard chuckled as his younger companion facepalmed to his embarrassment.
" I understood. It's the people who want to know my answers. I appreciate them. "
" Hey, we need your help in this one! " Dr. Pyromaniac called him from a distance.
" The younger ones need to know everything, " Firefly added. " Hurry! "
Methu-Selah laughed and rushed, " YES! YES! SOMEONE NEEDS MY HELP! "
The Kree-Faunus quickly returned to the tent as the two guards exchanged glances and got intrigued at him.
" āwo ... betelemido k'i lti āyidelemi ፡፡ (Yeah...Totally not a lunatic.) "
" wedajochēni nek'efu ፡፡ " (Blame our enemies, my friend.)
" wedajē hoyi ፣ be'inezīhi k'enati hulu negeri huligīzē mameni āyichalimi። (Can't always believe everything these days, my friend.) "
" āwik'alehu... (I know...) "
" dehina ፣ wede ginibaru temelesi ፡፡ (Well, back to the front.) "
The guard walked out of the tent and back to the front gate where his original post was. Methu-Selah went into the tent as the two couples spent time discussing their origins. The Kree-Faunus man joined the conversation.
" I'm sorry for bothering you, but I hope the four of you find it very interesting, " he spoke and sat down on the rug with pillows.
" Really? How so? " the younger Yang curiously asked.
" Ah from what I envisioned the younger ones are from the Army of a certain world."
" Yes, sir. I was an army colonel before this had happened, " Paul replied.
" But still, we found our older selves to be very expert huntsmen if they live in our universe from what we heard, " his wife added.
" There is much to know from you two, " Dr. Pyromaniac said and offered some cups of tea for the others to drink.
" Yes, " Firefly smiled and took her share when the others got their cups.
" How long has all of this happened? And, if I may be vague about this, what happened during all of this time? "
" All we could remember was we ended up as fuel in our ship. No one tells us how we get here in the first place. We didn't even know how long we remained unconscious in the desert. "
" My, my, " Methu-Selah sighed and sternly replied. " A greater enemy has brought you into this new settlement, but a dangerous situation. "
" Probably, a wormhole that pulled your ship's gravity into a different universe, " the elder Inhuman scientist added and finished drinking his cup.
" Maybe, " Yang nodded and took a sip from her cup." Or something or someone had planned a portal for us to get to this time era. It could've been anyone with the ability to summon portals. "
" Definitely your people had scattered everywhere into our planet, " Firefly raised her left hand in interjection while her right hand was holding her cup of tea.
" Sir, madam. We wish to see and meet some survivors from our fleet, but my wife and I are the only ones whom your people found. " Paul responded and also finished drinking his tea.
" Apparently, you were the first ones in our community, " his older self answered.
" No one else found? " Yang asked.
" Some of them ended as slaves, " Methu-Selah warned and crossed his arms.
" Oh no..."
" Some of them are part of the Kree-Interracial rebels. "
" Well..." Paul gulped and turned to his wife as she sighed.
" I'm worried..."
" It's okay, " he hugged Yang as she hugged back her husband.
" Thanks, Pyro-daddy..."
" That's why we gave up fighting against our enemies because our children and grandchildren ended up in their hands, " Dr. Pyromaniac spoke and placed his empty cup of tea on the table.
" Mizu was taken away from us," Firefly added and rubbed her eyes as she wept. " Summer became a slave along with her children. Alice became a weapon for the Zarthans. Zachary was an engineer for the Kree in Alaska, but he died. Philip joined the nomadic rebels from Absalom's faction. Until now, we are still worried about what their future will be. "
" How Long...How long has all of this happened? " the younger blonde Inhuman showed early signs of beginning to tear up.
" Fifty years..." the older blonde replied. " Our granddaughter Madeline ended up living in Kasius' base. We don't even know if she survived. "
Yang's tears began to seek out as her husband held her left hand. Methu-Selah crossed his arms and understood the long term hardships which the entire planet had faced.
"...All of this destruction...in just half a century..." she said in a crackled voice.
Paul sighed in sadness, " If only we could have been here earlier. "
Yang sat down and gently rested her head on the palm of her hand, "...I think I might just need to rest for the day...I had enough..."
Methu-Selah remained silent and sensed the younger blonde Inhuman's condition, " Young lady, I can sense new life within you. "
" Wait, she's just sad about what happened, " Paul replied.
" Colonel Williams, your wife is pregnant. "
Yang's eyes widened in shock and turned to her husband. She never realized what happened before they had come here. The elderly spouses exchanged glances and understood what they had heard.
"...Wh-What?..."
" You are the father of the child she brings! " the Kree-Faunus declared.
" What do you mean? " Paul asked.
" A new life? " his wife wept.
" A new life means a new hope and a future. Perhaps, your people from your dimension will save us from danger! That is a new life aside from that child, " Methu-Selah replied to the younger spouses. " You must protect the child within you. Our enemies are seeking out more Inhumans as weapons. "
Yang looked at Paul and gently held his hand. They intently listened to the Kree-Faunus man.
" Your descendants will bring change in this world, " he pointed to the elderly ones. " Like theirs. "
" We hope to see our grandchildren, " Dr. Pyromaniac said.
" When this chaos is over, " his wife added.
Yang looked at the elderly spouses and smiled at them." You will, sooner or later. "
" I understood how you feel, " Firefly nodded and hugged her younger-self as she felt pleased. Yang hugged back her older-self.
Elder Pyromaniac spoke, " Well, young man. This is just the beginning. I want to warn you and your wife about the Tyrants."
" Yes, as much as possible, we wander around the world so no one can find us. "
" You two must stay away from the Kree soldiers! " Methu-Selah warned.
"...Well, isn't that obvious? " Yang asked.
" I was almost captured by them, " Firefly sadly sighed and recalled. " They almost turned us into slaves when a Kree-Faunus nomad saved us."
" How did the Kree-Faunus save you? "
" He disguised as one of the soldiers and felt pity for us. He knew we were too old and frail for slavery. "
" And so he guided you guys out of the prison? "
" Yes, that was Absalom Bav-Tek, " she said. " That young blue-goat recruited our youngest son to join the battle. "
" Well, we need to find this man, " Paul stood up.
" Maybe, he found our people in his faction. " Yang added.
The dark-skinned guard came into the tent with a worried expression on his face, " Methuselah! Sir! We have critical reports! "
" Such madness! " the Kree-Faunus anxiously muttered.
" What is going on? " Dr. Pyromaniac asked.
" Anything, can we help? " Firefly added, looking concerned at the newcomer.
" There's been sightings of...panting sorry...one moment...okay, " he panted, looked at everyone, and continued. " There's been sightings of what appears to be military personnels spying upon our camp. I'm for sure they're not the Kree, but they may be something of higher levels of technology...We captured...one photo of them. "
The guard took out a photo and presented it to everyone. It showed what appeared to be a trooper wearing some kind of full plated armor of unknown material, with desert amo to blend within the environment. It appeared the trooper is holding what could be a high tech scope in it's hand. There's also these words written onto the armor points at the shoulder blade as words were barely visible, but could be read as "MTF". "
" No, it can't be! " Yang got horrified and thought of leaving.
" Yang, calm down. I need you to get some rest, " her husband held her hands.
" We can handle this situation. You two should go to your tent, " Dr. Pyromaniac reminded.
" This must be a serious problem, " Firefly turned to the guard.
" Anyone with ideas of what the "MTF" could stand for? "
" Monika Task Force, " the Inhuman scientist grew his eyes in shock for which he knew that a woman named Monika was still working with enemy side.
" Maybe...We could strike at them at night. When they're off guard. "
" We must leave this place at once. Tell everyone to evacuate. "
" I'll send some men to deal with this Force, if so, we could question them. "
" Good. "
"' Alright, we'll strike at 9 sharp. "
(PLATEAU NEAR THE CAMP: 9:00 PM)
Under the starry evening skies, the MTF Trooper was walking to the edge of the plateau. He took out his scope and zoomed into the camp, spying from a distance.
"...Hmm..." the armored personnel muttered.
" See any undesirables? "
"...Not so far...but if we do get spotted, you remember what the Commander says. Just drop your weapons and wait for him. And let the leader of the Nomads and the Commander negotiate terms. Honestly, with the younger spouses of those Inhumans arriving, this just became a suicide mission if they would get aggressive towards us. "
" I Know, I know...you know, it brings me the thought of the Elite Commander and the General Commander...I find them and the spouses quite similar. "
" Yeah, me two...although the Elite Commander is more Optimistic and a whole lot more open minded than Pyromaniac would be."
" That's just a guess though. "
The two headed from their position going back to the ground. Looking and walking around the desert, they saw nothing and felt a strong evening desert wind blowing them..
" Wait! I don't see the nomadic community here! How come?! " his partner exclaimed.
" We may be spotted, " the MTF trooper looked at the distance and saw some of the nomadic community guards scaling up. " Well, they are coming."
" They're just Ethiopian nomadic guards. I don't see any Inhumans, Kree, or other races from here! "
" First of all, that's because it's dark out and you don't have a night vision scope or visor like I do. And secondly, alert the others and the Commander about the Nomadic guard coming. "
" Okay. "
Suddenly, one of the Nomadic Guards was a young male Inhuman who spied and passed through as he became invisible. Kamal secretly saw the troopers as he sneaked around. He was like a ghost haunting them.
"...Oh and just in case, " the MTF trooper switched to Infrared mode and used a switch on his helmet to switch to infrared vision." ...Intruder! Stun him! "
The troopers put their scope away and pulled out a modified handgun and fired a stunt charge at the nomadic Inhuman. Kamal quickly dodged and disappeared as the MTF Troopers had a hard time catching him.
" He's too quick! " the trooper yelled.
" Can't chase him! " the other cried.
Another Inhuman created tremors as the troopers got trembled. It appeared to be an elderly woman with a dark cloak standing up in front of them. She grinned at the MTFs.
" WHAT'S GOING ON?! "
" Don't tell me! "
" Dammit..." he kept firing upon the Inhuman to get him, but she sent him and the others flying out of the way.
" You people don't have respect for an old woman like me, " she indignantly spoke and brushed off, seeing the MTF Troopers falling down and feeling disoriented after the earthquake.
(Within the camp on the Plateau)
The trooper had received the message from his remaining colleagues running into the superior named Roosevelt, " Sir! The Nomadic guards are attacking! "
" Hm...I feared this might all happen, " Roosevelt muttered and turned to the others. " Station all troopers too all stun any aggressors! "
" Yes, Sir! " they spoke in unison and headed out to the grounds.
" Don't mess with the former SHIELD Agent! " the old woman instantly punched and shook the camp on the Plateau. The others got disoriented when they felt another seismic activity.
" It's Quake! " the trooper ceased attacking and yelled.
" WHAT?! "
Some of the troopers still remained on their ground and charged to anyone who attacked them, however they too got affected with another intense earthquake when it created another faultline.
" You don't have respect for an old lady, do you?! " she harshly spoke.
" You're the ones who struck first! "
" Well, go home! " she made another tremor on the ground as the Troopers retreated. " AND NEVER COME BACK! "
" Elder Quake! " Kamal the young Inhuman returned to his normal form and called her.
" Young man, it's Mrs. Tellumo, now, " the elderly Inhuman crossed her arms and removed her veil, revealing her long curly platinum hair.
" Mrs. Tellumo, we should run! "
" I'm teaching these boys a lesson, not to mess up with. They haven't understood my words! " the old woman replied and touched the ground, causing another tectonic earthquake in the middle of the desert. The other troopers stopped firing and remained on the ground.
" STOP THIS NONSENSE! "
All of the Troopers recognized the voice as they turned to the source of the voice. Elder Daisy Johnson-Tellumo emotionlessly glared at them. Her young dark-skinned companion became more anxious and agitated at this encounter. Out from the ruined tent came out Commander Roosevelt, who all the Troops saluted at his presence. He slowly walked to the middle, between his troops and the two Inhumans. All of his men looked at each other
"...Now...mind telling me both sides of your stories? " he asked.
" The old woman! " the trooper cried.
" It's Quake the Destroyer of Worlds! " the other recognized her.
" But Lord Kasius has the younger Quake in his New York base! " the third added.
" But how come she is an older woman? "
" I thought the training program taught you to respect any and all elderly, even if they are dangerous, " Roosevelt walked towards Daisy and bowed his head. " Madam, we're truly sorry for our misconception. "
" My, my... They have almost got mistaken, " she sarcastically spoke and crossed her arms. " Is this how you train your subordinates? Become trigger-happy when they see a dangerous Inhuman coming? I have never experienced that in my younger years back in SHIELD. "
" And I can see that. "
" I just passed by a young man here, " Elder Daisy replied and pointed at Kamal. " He saw me coughing along the way. "
" Yes... I am warning her to go away, " Kamal added.
" First, let's get things cleared up, " he turned his body so that his shoulder plate facing the elderly woman and the younger Ethiopian. " You see, I'm sure you've misinterpreted this as the "Monika Task Force". Now, we are a task force, but we are not working for that damned tyrannic empire. We are our own Military, we are the MOBILE Task Force. "
" But those boys saw an earthquake, whatever it is, it's just a coincidence. "
Roosevelt smiled back, " Heh, and it sure is! "
" Thank you for your time, we need to go. Sorry for that trouble..."
Kamal added, " Farewell. "
Roosevelt widened his eyes in shock, seeing the two Inhumans walking away from the site. He rushed to them as Elder Daisy and Kamal both raised their eyebrows in doubt.
" Wait! Don't go anywhere! Please! "
" Now, what does he want? " the young Ethiopian Inhuman asked and got annoyed. " Seriously, I doubt if we could trust them, Mrs. Tellumo. "
" This is how we should maintain civilized, not like his brutal trigger-happy boys, " she answered.
" But they might be involved with Kasius! "
" Involved or not, we need to face him. "
Kamal heavily sighed and followed the old woman. They both saw Roosevelt running towards them, pausing at the corner, and catching up for his breath.
" I thought we had ended our conversation? " Elder Daisy raised her voice and crossed her arms. " What do you want? "
" I may need an explanation of why we're here! " Roosevelt pleaded and sighed. " Please don't go! "
" That's the thing you need to find out. It is classified. "
" Look, do you want answers or not? "
" You want answers then? Well, ask the Overlord. "
" Do they need their hearing check or something?! "Roosevelt thought and tried to negotiate. " Look, that wasn't a complicated question. I'm asking you guys to see why my forces are here, spying on your nomadic tribe. Simple, as that. "'
The elderly Inhuman crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows in doubt. For Elder Daisy Johnson-Tellumo, she had started to have trust issues to meet with other people after the fall of the other forces from fifty years ago and the death of her husband. Kamal was also suspicious of trusting anyone outside the Rebel Forces whose entire family was killed by an encounter since he was younger. This time, they saw the MTF trooper negotiating with them.
" Well, do you have men working with Kasius? " Elder Daisy indignantly asked. " We had a lot of issues during my time in the Rebel Forces. So, one of your people is a traitor and a spy who started to cause trouble. You need to punish the one who chases after my community. "
" That order was given by our Supreme Commander, Lord Hood, " Roosevelt explained. " The reason why is that, ever since the fall of MIB, Avengers, and SHIELD fifty years ago. He has thought you guys need a little bit of help. So, we've been "spying" on you guys ever since so the Kree would never capture any of you Inhumans. "
Kamal looked at the elderly Inhuman when he was still suspicious of the MTF personnel. Elder Daisy Johnson-Tellumo crossed her arms and heavily sighed.
" I see. Come with us, and you'll find out what you're looking for. " she sternly replied.
Kamal grimly stared at the first Trooper as he nervously gulped, " I hope you will not sell us to the slave drivers! "
The two Inhumans brought the MTF troopers to the community as they had transferred to a village near Addis Ababa. The rest of the people murmured and glared at their arrival. The elderly Inhuman and her younger companion stood beside the tent where Roosevelt and the others remained.
" There, you will talk to the elders, first, " Kamal reminded the guests. " You must wait. "
Roosevelt and his lot waited when Elder Daisy entered the tent. She was talking to someone inside which took some time to finish. Finally, an elderly blue Kree man stood in front of them. He was wearing a grey tunic and holding a staff.
" Who are they? " he asked.
" Elder Galenn, we have our visitors, " Kamal answered.
" Let them in. "
" Hello, there. I'm Commander Roosevelt, leader of the RR legion within the Mobile Task Force, " Roosevelt greeted and shook hands with the Kree.
" I am Galenn-Konn, the community leader of Ethiopian Rebel Forces. We have been undercover as the Nomadic tribe for several years, " he replied and responded with the same gesture. " Don't worry, Commander Roosevelt, I'm not a tyrant. I support people from various races especially my exiled Kree brothers from the global slave exploitation. The council tribe will be seeing you. "
" So what I heard from the MTF had gathered that is. "
" The other elders are here, " Galenn turned to the people who came out of the tent.
One of those people who left the tent was another blue skinned cat man and happily beaming, " I sense more allies coming! "
" Yes, your allies are here, " Roosevelt nodded.
" Galenn, I never expected to see them here! " Dr. Pyromaniac exclaimed and scratched his head. " What's going on?! "
" Woah! " Firefly added and turned to the incoming new forces.
" My! How! Cool! " Elder Kamala Khan was bewildered in seeing them.
" I just made them all shook up! " Elderly Daisy grinned and chuckled.
" This is the council of elders of the Nomadic tribe, " Elder Galenn-Konn introduced the others.
Roosevelt stared at the elderly brunette Inhuman, " And your "shook up" had cost thousands of cash. " Then he looked at the council members, " Anyway, sorry for our misconception with the Kree empire. To be blunt with you, we never even heard of them until the MIB and the other forces had fallen fifty years ago. "
" We apologise for that suspicion, " Dr. Pyromaniac responded. " We are here to speak with all of you. One more thing, Methuselah Belladonna, the seer, is our newest member. I think you may know him..."
Methu-Selah was surprised to see that the MTF troopers came into the camp. Somehow, he was worried for his son to encounter them for another time. He clearly recalled how the MTF people made his son miserable five decades ago before the invasion. Roosevelt and the other crowd noticed his long silence.
" Hey, are you going to talk to them? " Elder Kamala called his attention.
" Oh... right! " the Kree-Faunus loudly laughed and touched his abdomen, trying to play along. " Sometimes, I do have my mishaps! It's nice to meet you people! "
" Yeah, and look how that turned out, " Roosevelt nodded.
" We have our agenda that you want to join forces with us, " Firefly reminded. " We will make further decisions for our next step. "
Suddenly, another elder had appeared, holding his bow and quiver who arrived from hunting animals for food. The rest of the people turned his attention to him.
" Sorry, I'm late! " the old man laughed. " The other guys just tell me everything about your troopers. "
" Yes, Clint you are always getting out of track, " Galenn heavily sighed and facepalmed to his embarrassment. " You have been hunting for food like you used to? "
" Yeah. "
" Hmm, I will have to contact my Supreme Commander to make asset meetings. But right now, I'm not sure if that's possible. He's currently busy with an on-going procedure to keep our Elite Commander and General Commander in "sleep", " he replied and turned to Hawkeye. " And ha ha ha, very funny! "
" Apparently, we have two new members of the nomadic community, " Dr. Pyromaniac reminded.
" They're Yangtastically uncanny! " Firefly added.
RR Trooper barraged in without notice, " Sorry to interrupt, but I have information from the Supreme Commander...AND THEY'RE ALL GOOD NEWS! "
" What is it? " Elder Galenn-Konn curiously raised his eyebrows and got intrigued from the interruption.
" Really? Show us private, " Roosevelt turned to his subordinate who walked by his side.
" Yes,sir. "
"...Well? "
" The Elite and General Commanders, they've both reawakened from their sleep since six months ago in Boston, Massachusets! " the RR Trooper happily beamed.
Methu-Selah remained smiling and listening, but with a hint of anxiety which he had known that his son would come anytime soon and get killed by the same people who had chased him before. The disguised Kree Eternal also sensed another light soul aside from himself and Carol would meet in Paris, France. Everyone ignored his silence while they were busily talking to each other.
Roosevelt grinned with delight, " Our losing war had turned things around now."
" Speaking of that, the new member turned out to be a former Colonel from his home world's army, " the dark-haired elderly pyrokinetic Inhuman replied.
" Which is your past, correct? "
" His wife was a lieutenant and a former terrorist, but she remains submissive to her superior, but we are talking about the new members, " he answered and turned to his wife. " Sunshine, I hope this is the right time to introduce our younger selves to them. "
" I know, Pyro-daddy, " Firefly smiled and turned to the young Ethiopian Inhuman. " Kamal, bring them here. "
" Yes, Mrs. Williams, " Kamal nodded and brought the younger Inhuman spouses as MTF troopers were amazed to see them.
Colonel Paul Williams and his wife left the other tent after eating their supper. They were surprised to see more forces in this camp.
" Heh, guess the Multiverse theory was right after all, " the trooper grinned.
" It's always been true, " his companion added.
" It's good to see the both of you, " Roosevelt smiled.
" I'm former Colonel Paul Williams of the Nui Army and this is my wife, former Lieutenant Yang Xiao Long-Williams, " the young dark haired Inhuman man greeted.
Yang smiled back, " It's an honor to meet you all. "
