Hello and A Return
11/5/1943, Falsworth Manor, Dymhurst
Namor had been watching and waiting when he had seen that there was the vehicle that had been approaching, as he had watched, Namor was at the ready, knowing that it was going to be a vicious battle as he had went and watched them, at the ready as he saw that John had gotten out of his vessel, looking to be at ease, but Namor was no fool, he knew a sleeping predator when he saw one.
“I heard the news.” he had said to them with a smile, “I’m so glad that Jacqueline is safe!” he had said with a grin, “Can I see her?” he had started to ask before hearing a whistling, making the man turn and see that there was a wooden stake that was heading towards him, making the Vampire leap out of the way which had made John turn and hiss towards them.
Montgomery and Maximus had each raised a pistol to fire at him with wooden bullets, “Hello there, Baron Blood.” Montgomery had said towards him in anger as he had went and headed into the shadows, “Damn, I was hoping I could get to her before–” “She’s your niece!” Montgomery had said towards him, “And I don’t care.” he had simply said before pulling out a whistle and blowing it, confusing them at the noise.
They had then seen that there was Meranno who had come out of the car with a grenade, “Special delivery!” he had shouted out towards them before he had thrown the grenade towards the two of them, making the pair go and run back towards the inside as the item in question had exploded a bright blue flash, disintegrating the area that was around them and making the group worried.
But Namor, Namor was furious as he had seen the traitor, seen the monster that had attacked their city, so he had flown out from the woods, charging forth and as he had done so, The Atlantean had tackled The Blue Nazi before he could do anything else, “Die!” he had snapped out in anger towards him, making Meranno snarl as he had went and elbowed the back of The Prince.
“You first!” he had snapped as well, the two of them started to circle around, Meranno biting him with his fangs whileNamor punched him in the kidneys, biology and modification being against each other as they had started to force each other, at least until they had been able to push off of each other and in so doing were able to hear from the others now.
John had shouted towards the enemy of Atlantis, “Meranno! Get us out of here!” he had ordered, making him angry at the interruption in their fight before he had pulled out a vial, “Let’s hope that mad bastard wasn’t lying.” he had said before breaking the vial, making a black liquid start to pour out as Meranno had leapt towards John as the liquid began to envelop them now.
They had seemed to be covered as the soldiers had started to run and get absorbed by the black liquid that was there, “Next we meet, it’ll be on the battlefield!” John had shouted with a grin before they had started to vanish now, as if the black was a spot of emptiness that had started to fill in itself now which had made the group all the more confused as Maximus had went and approached it.
Namor had been furious, he had been so close, but he still was too far to capture the traitor, it was infuriating, so much so that he had almost not heard the orders that had been shouted out from the aftermath, “We need to tear everything apart, NOW.” Montgomery had said towards them, Robbie nodding at that as he had turned and prepared to run towards the city in a simple flash.

Nammu had been swimming by Naga, “[You had brought this creature to us, if I hear something I don’t like, BOTH of you will perish.]” Immortal Naga had told her, making Nammu nod at that, “[Understood, Lord Naga.]” she had said towards him with a bow before she had waited, watching as he and his warriors had went and started to approach the cage where the creature had been left in.
“[Who are you, and why were you sacrificed to us?]” Immortal Naga had demanded of her, “What?” the woman said, Immortal Naga had looked towards her and Nammu nodded, she understood the language as she had went and swam into her view, looking towards them now, “Hello there,” she had said, “My name is Nammu Sar Dorma, and you?” she had asked of her, making The woman nod.
“My name is Auran Amakitsu.” the strange woman had asked, making Nammu nod at that before looking towards Naga, “[Lord Naga, this one calls herself Auran Amakitsu, she appears to be something not pinking.]” she had told him, making Naga angry, “[Question this Auran, and ask her why she was sacrificed to us.]” he had said, making Nammu nod at that.
“Immortal Naga, long may he reign, has demanded to know why you had been sacrificed.” she had said, making Auran glare, “You can tell him that your ‘neighbors’ are Hydra, and they–” “Did you say Hydra?” Nammu had asked of her, remembering how they had released the stone and corrupted the heroes of Atlantis and Lemuria, “[Nammu! Translate or I will remove your tongue!]” he had snapped.
“[A thousand pardons, Immortal Naga,]” she had said, “[But this one spoke of the evil corrupters who took The Swift Tide,]” she asked, “[I only asked for confirmation.]” she had said towards him and hearing that, Immortal Naga snarled, “Yeah… how do you know about Hydra?” Auran had said and hearing that, Nammu had sighed at that before she had answered.
“One of them, Baron Strucker, had dug into the waters of Atlantis, and released a stone that had ravaged The Chasm People.” Nammu had snarled and hearing that, the Inhuman had taken a breath which made Nammu cautious now, “Baron Strucker is up there now, he is planning, and one day, he will look towards Lemuria like he did Atlantis.” Auran had told them.
Hearing that, Nammu had gotten furious, “[The Corrupter of The Swift Tide is up above, and he may one day come to both Atlantis and .]” she had said and as Nammu had finished that, Immortal Naga and The Lemurians were enraged, “[We would not allow such a foolish end!]” he had told them in fury, “[We will make them fear the Ocean!]” he had snapped towards them now.
That had made Nammu nod at that as they had went and started to nod, “[For Naga!]” one of the soldiers had shouted out in anger, “[For Naga!]” Nammu had said as well before one of them had went to look towards Auran, “We have a proposition.” Nammu had said, opening the door now, “How would you like to kill two birds with one stone.” Nammu said, making Auran smile, “What do you have in mind?”

11/5/1943, The Whip and Fiddle, London
Namor had been fuming with Machan and Randall, the three of them were with each other in the pub, they had seen that the soldiers that had been rescued were at, “I’ve gotta say, surprised that those guys are listening to Spangles.” Randall had said, making Namor snort at that, “Spangles.” he had said, making Machan smile towards him as they saw that the soldiers were agreeing.
“Looks like you’re gonna be getting some competition.” he had told Namor who had rolled his eyes at that, “Please, Zarda could take them all–” he had started to say before Howard Shelton had went to go and talk to Dum Dum while Rogers went to go and speak towards a woman in red, “Speaking of Zarda…” he had said before making sure that Howard saw him.
Namor had motioned for him to come over while Dum Dum talked to Jimmy and Smiles, “Hey there, Namor,” Howard said with a smile, “Didn’t see you there.” he had said as Namor had waited with a raised eyebrow, making Howard pause, “Planning to join The Captain?” he had asked, making Howard laugh, “With The Needle? No way! I was just saying hi to my cousin.” he had told Namor.
Hearing that, the Atlantean had nodded at that before he had went and stood up, “Namor–?” Machan started to say, “Come on, might as well say hello.” he had said, making the pair both grin at that as they prepared to meet them, “Jimmy! Smiles!” he had went, making them both smile as they had went to join them, tonight going to be a fun night for them all hopefully.

11/7/1943, The Royal Palace, Atlantis
As they had went and walked around, Dorma with the twins had seen that Thakorr had went and swam by and as he had done so,Dorma spoke, “My King, had you heard anything about the progress in America or Ryūgū-jō?” Dorma had asked of him, bowing deeply as she had done so, making the King nod, “It appears that Naga will be dealing with our Asia Threat for now.” he had said.
That had made the Atlantean glad at that, “That is good to hear, my King.” she had said and hearing that, the lady had smiled at that, “I will proceed to find out everything that I can on europe for you.” she had said and hearing that, Thakorr had started to nod at that before he swam off, appearing more and more withdrawn which had seemed more and more worrying as time went on.

11/7/1943, Bobo’s Home, Long Beach
Bobo had been looking though everything when he had seen the papers and had noticed that there was a something more from The Invaders which had made the Prince smile at that before he had heard a knock from his door, confusing Bobo as he had went and headed towards the door, going to open it up and seeing that there was one of the spies he had helped come into the state.
“Illyana–” “Ilias.” she had said, the Atlantean walking in now and as she had looked around, the woman had come in, relieved at everything before she had sat down, looking around, “I wanted to talk to you.” Ilias had said towards him, making Bobo confused, “What do you wish to speak of?” he had asked, making the female sigh, “How can you stand living here?” she had questioned.
Hearing that, Bobo had sighed as he had stepped over and prepared some alcohol for them, “I had a tough time initially.” he had said towards her, “They were so dry, they were so closed off, they had hated each other over different shading and beliefs–” he had started to say before sighing, “But then I had met Liz.” he had said towards her as he had sat down and leaned back.
“She was the love of my life, and still is.” he had told her which had made Ilias sigh before she had went and leaned forward, “Do you still love her?” Ilias had said and hearing that, he had given a sad smile, “She carried my child and she’s the reason I made my home.” he had said, making the Atlantean woman pout at that before she had decided to look on that in the future, Bobo unaware of her heart right now.

11/7/1943, Kendal Residence, New Canaan
Cass and Liz had been giggling towards the replay of the demonstration that a newscaster had shown and it had made them laugh at how he was unable to show The Captain when they saw that The Rice Family were coming and that had made Cass stand up now with a smile as she had look towards the young boy that had been brought with them.
“Phillip!” she had shouted towards him as Cass had ran over and hugged him, the two of them smiling at each other as they went ahead and started to chat excited until they had noticed that there were some photographs which had made Cass pause, “What’s that?” she had asked, making Phillip look in surprise, “That’s a boy I met.” he had said towards her, “He called himself Ash Seawing and–” “He’s pretty.”
That had surprised Phillip which had made the boy look at her staring at the picture, “But he looks… wrong?” Cass had said while Phillip took the photo, “He said that he didn’t like girls.” Phillip had said, making Cass sigh at that, “Too bad, he looks like a fairytale prince.” she had told him, making Phillip angrier as he had thrown the photo away, “Come on!” he had told her.
Cass had taken a pause, disliking that, but followed anyways, going and heading towards the playroom that had been made, she had watched as he had started to lift her boxes with some struggle and as he had continued to do so, the young girl had paused before going to help, making him surprised, “They’re easy to lift.” she had told him, making Phillip glare, “It’s not bad if you can’t–”
“I can!” He had said, going and taking the box from her, “Boys are stronger than girls after all!” he had told her, making Cass look at him before she had nodded, “Okay.” Cass had said, not really understanding but deciding to listen as she and Phillip went to have their fun, Cass listening to him now like always, him always in charge while Cass was happy to follow whatever he said for now.

11/8/1943, Projekt Brain Drain, Berlin
The Atlantean had watched as he had seen that there were some diodes coming to life, “Sag mir nochmal, wie soll das funktionieren?(Tell me again, how is this supposed to work?)” Meranno had said, making one of the scientists approach, “Wer auch immer das Gehirn entfernt hatte, hatte dies perfekt gemacht.(Whoever had removed the brain had done so perfectly.)” he had said.
“Das Gehirn ist im Wesentlichen eine Batterie, und mit diesen Maschinen bleibt der Patient dank der bereitgestellten Flüssigkeit und Elektrizität am Leben.(The brain is essentially a battery, and with these machines, he will be alive thanks to the fluids and electricity provided.)” The Scientist said when they had heard something, “Was… Was ist das?(What… What is this?)” a voice asked.
They had turned and seen that the brain in the jaw looking around thanks to the spinal cord, “Was ist mit mir passiert?(What happened to me?)” he had said as Meranno had approached him now, “Nammu war geschehen,(Nammu had happened,)” he had told Werner, making him confused, taking a deep breath, Meranno had went and turned him towards a mirror to see himself.
“Sie konnte sich irgendwie befreien, die anderen töten und Magni und Modi mitnehmen, nachdem sie euch DAS angetan hat.(She somehow slipped free, killed the others and took Magni and Modi after she did THIS to you.)” he had said, making the man angry, angry enough that he had started to crackle, to pop which had made them worried at that, “Werner–” one started.
He had went to touch him and was instead electrocuted, making him scream in pain before falling down, some of the others had been shocked at that, going to help him when Werner spoke, “Ich werde diese Frau töten!(I will kill that woman!)” he had shouted and all of them had heard that in their minds, surprising them at that, “Töte sie, töte sie, töte sie!(Kill her, kill her, kill her!)” he had said.
As they had heard that, they had all started to get angry, “Töte sie, töte sie, töte sie!(Kill her, kill her, kill her!)” they had all started to shout out in anger like his and that had made Meranno chuckle at that, “Es scheint, als wäre das Projekt mehr als ein Erfolg gewesen.(It looks like the project was more than a success.)” he had said, wondering if they could bring him to the field now.

11/10/1943, Hydra Island Border, Ryūgū-jō
Nammu was there with Auran and the Lemurian warriors, all of them cautious and watching as they had reached the border, “There’s a shaft here.” She had said towards Nammu, “If we can open the hole, we can access there and–” “We are here only to map, nothing more, nothing less.” Nammu had told her, this was reconnaissance only, anything more was for later.
As they did so, Nammu had went and placed the gill scarf on as they had went and started to move, all of them being cautious as The Lemurian warriors that were there with them had started to feel off it seemed as they had drawn their weapons, at the ready while Auran spoke, “There’s weaponry there and there in surplus, you can use that to advance your own technology.” she had told them.
The warriors there had nodded, going and preparing themselves as they had moved in, Auran and Nammu looking at each other before the former had started to point, “That way is the barracks, a few floors up is the officers quarters,” she had said, “They come in multiple spirals with the throne being in the center.” she had told them and hearing that, Nammu nodded before they started to move.
All of them going and walking towards the halls and such, as they had done so, the two of them had seen that there were some soldiers that were approaching, Auran at the ready while Nammu kept her in the shadows, “We don’t want to give away our advantage yet.” she had told Auran who had nodded at that, both of them making sure that the soldiers were passing by them.
Seeing as they had passed, Auran had taken a breath, “Okay, let us proceed.” she had said, the two of them being as stealthy as possible as they had headed forward, both of them cautious and careful right now as they had seen that there were more and more coming in now which had made them all the more cautious as they had proceeded to map out every way they could wipe them all out.

11/11/1943, Underwater Base, Casablanca
As they had all been looking though, the base and as they had done so, The Invaders had all started to move right now, Namor with Triton and Zarda as they had entered, looking around everywhere as the trio had went and opened up the pod there while the others had been waiting at the access, and as they had entered, Triton and Zarda had readied their weapons while Namor marched through.
“What is this place?” Zarda had asked, making the Atlantean pause before speaking, “A lab made here, for observation and experimentation, like the one that we had sunk.” he had said towards Zarda who had nodded at that as they had continued to move, seeing that there were tubes there which had made the trio notice the corpses that were there, many of them appearing monstrous.
Seeing them, they had been disturbed, Namor wondering how many of them had been their people turned after Meranno had stolen so much, it was making the group all the more worried before they had seen that there was a twitch from one of the fleshier corpses, in reaction, Namor had went to stab it, “Namor–!” Zarda had started when the creature turned and knocked the trident away.
Seeing that, Triton had went and stabbed it in the head next with both of his Kopis, “We need to be ready, he can’t be the only one.” The others nodded at that as Namor went to the lift, “I’ll call the others down, Nammu told me how to activate it.” he had said, making the other two of them look, wondering how Nammu knew about this as he had operated the controls.
That had made them look and see that there was a moaning that was coming from one of the halls there, it had made them look around before seeing that more of the creatures that were there now, “We’ll hold them off, get the others.” Zarda said, drawing her sword since she knew it would be a mercy as they had proceeded to give them time for the others to come now.
They had started to rush and a s they had done so, the two of them readied their weapons as Zarda charged and Triton leaped off of her back as the pair of them went and started to swipe and slash, tearing them into them and as they had done so, the creatures had tried to get the advantage, one almost getting Zarda when Namor attacked, smashing it into a wall amongst the others as he joined the fray with them.
As they had fought with fury, Meranno had seen that there was footage from the base, watching them and as he had seen it all, the Atlantean had grinned at everything there, wanting to see their weaknesses and strengths now so that they can destroy as many as possible in the future, leaning back, the Atlantean had looked to his friend then back at the footage with some interest right about now.
