Chapter 196: The Invasion
Chapter 196: The Invasion
[You can read 60 chapters in advance and GOT fic on /misterimmortal.]
The invasion was happening, and it was not how Hector planned it would go. He quickly got on a spacecraft and went directly to space. Unfortunately, he had to move much further away in order to exit the atmosphere safely.
However, when they did that, their hearts were shaken. Even in the space over the African Continent, there were various spaceships blockading. Hector looked to all sides, and the ships appeared as if they were copied and pasted there.
"Why are there so many?" Logan wondered.
"They didn't come here just to invade, Logan. I'm getting a bad feeling about this. Let's return and deal with the mess. I need to make an announcement to them after that. I got enough stones anyway. But just to be sure, let's take the space stone too,"
...
"Aaaaaa..."
"HELP!"
"MOM?!"
The invasion first struck Manhattan, and there was chaos everywhere, with the buildings being damaged and their rubble falling on cars. But, the heroes arrived on time and started saving people. Wonder Woman was extremely powerful, and her green Lantern Ring was the most helpful thing in existence right now.
She could create multiple safety harnesses as if they were tentacles and save multiple people around her while beating the ugly-looking aliens with ease.
Moony used his portals and brought in the X-Men as well. Jean alone was a tank. But she could not be utilized right now since their first priority was to save as many people as possible.
From Kamar Taj as well, masters and sorcerers started to flood out and fought the aliens to protect the people. Then Hulk also appeared beside Jean and did as she told him for some reason.
Iron Man summoned a few dozen more suits that roamed around on their own through AI. So the world was surely better prepared, but the invasion was also much more significant.
*BOOM*
A building started to collapse suddenly because a Leviathan collided with it and chipped a part of it from the middle. Wonder Woman flew towards it and caught the building with a giant hand made of green light. She was merely trying to allow people time to leave quickly.
*WOOSH*
"Need some help, grandma?"
Diana rolled her eyes, "Oh dear, I'm getting too old for this. Mind a hand?"
Jean giggled and flew straight into the building and started to throw people out of the broken windows. Initially, Diana was shocked by what her next plan was. But just then, Magneto appeared flying in the air. He had a fishing net with a metallic frame with him, and it was big enough.
He caught everyone and helped them slide down to the ground. He also greeted Diana, "Greeting, mother."
Diana was taken aback, ~How many kids has Hector taken in?~
She forced out a smile, "Ah, yes... Let's move out."
But of course, they couldn't just let the building fall, so Magneto got to work and used steel beams to fix the building once again enough that it won't quickly drop now. The people were still running away.
The scope of the battle was too big at this time, and the whole of New York City was slowly being consumed by it. Trying to ensure nobody died was getting more and more hard.
The Ancient One took the lead at this time. She flew to Wonder Woman and Magneto and asked for help, "If you have any way to transmit my words, I might be able to help people escape. Other sorcerers and I can create thousands of portals all around the city and get them to safety,"
"Charles can!" Magneto blurted.
"Great, get him to do it. I will command the sorcerers!"
They started to coordinate quickly to get the people out as soon as possible. The invasion was intensifying as more aliens were pouring in from the sky even now.
In no time, the portals started to appear all around the city. But at the same time, Charles transmitted his words to all the people, telling them to go to the other side to safety.
It was like giving a shoulder to someone injured. People rushed towards the portals madly. There were enough of them, however, so they all felt relaxed.
Ancient One nodded while looking at the evacuation process, "We can go all out after this as long a... NO!"
All of a sudden, she felt her mental connections with other sorcerers diminishing and eventually ending. Knowing what madness the sudden closure of portals would cause, she used all her powers. Her eyes glowed in golden light, and various magic rune circles hovered around her body.
"DIANA!" She groaned.
*WOOSH*
Just then, the sorcerers changed their aim and started firing magic at the Ancient One. Their eyes were shining red, and they had no expressions on their faces, seeming robotic.
Diana quickly went before her and deflected the attacks with her shield. "Are they being controlled?"
"UGH! HURRY! I can't hold on for too long. Someone is trying to take over the minds of all beings in the vicinity. I can save mine but not others'" Charles' voice resounded in everyone's mind.
"Oh no!" Jean looked around, people were starting to fall down one by one, and the heroes turned against each other. Even Hulk was mind-controlled. "Who is doing this?"
"I don't know. Contact Hector, I will- *BAM*" Diana was trying to fly away towards the sky to deal with whomever the manipulator was. But then, out of nowhere, a steel rod hit her and curled around her like a snake.
"Erik has been taken!" Jean exclaimed. But she decided enough was enough. She had to use her phoenix powers no matter how destructive they may be.
~Are you sure?~
~Yup, I can do it, red. Just lend me some power.~ Jean talked with the Phoenix inside her body. Being a good bird, she did just that, and in no time, Jean's body started getting covered in fire.
"Fine. Let's kick some asses!" She angrily growled and flew towards the sky. On her way, any small or large ships that went too close to her caught fire. But that was just the trailer.
~Grandpa, watch me fly!~ she muttered to herself. After all, the only person she wanted to prove herself to was Hector. Her dearest grandpa and the one who gave her this peaceful life.
...
The cat was out of the bag. In the age of the internet, it doesn't take too much time for words to spread around the world. Initially, people thought it was some sort of edited CGI clip. But then the news channels started to blast it with loud voices of people running around in fear.
People who were sleeping in the eastern part of the world started to wake up and nervously watch the news, unaware of what they should be doing or the fact that the invasion had arrived to attack the whole planet rather than just one city.
Panic spread around, and as Hector had expected previously, criminals thought there would be no tomorrow, so they could do anything they wished to do. But unfortunately, sick, perverted desires were the ones that mostly appeared since people didn't see money as important.
Mobs of sick men and women gathered and started running around. In each country, and each city, the scenes were similar. The alien invasion had just shown how fragile the world was.
But he knew this would happen long ago and had already worked up a solution. It was also now the time to do some severe damage. So he drives the spacecraft back to New York City. But knowing the invasion would destroy it, he put it on autopilot and let it go with Logan, who would jump on a building soon.
Hector, though, had jumped already and was zooming down towards the surface like a rocket with his head first. In his ear was a small earphone that connected him to various vehicles around the world and their speakers. Not only that, every single screen in the world started to show him as he fell from the sky.
But he did not address the people immediately. He first needed to show he was the original President Hector King Washington. And what better way to do that than destroy a whole Leviathan with a single punch?
*SHOoooo...*
Soon, he was mere meters away from the alien thing, so he extended his right fist at it. The cameras from the ground focused on his body and then the whole scene from a distance. His red coat and the stars on his shoulder shined like a beacon of hope even in the sunlight.
Moments later came the well-known roar, "UNITED STATES OFSMAAAASH!"
*BOOOM*
