Shark Attack
9/9/1948, Brooklyn, New York City
The Atlantean had been sitting at the bench now, taking a deep breath now and as he took a deep breath, trying to stay under control right now before the man noticed how there was some people who were looking at him, “Are you okay?” the woman who was wearing a white bodysuit like his friend Jim asked, making Namor sigh, “I’m fine, I just need my medicine.” he told her, taking a pill and swallowing it.
The woman looked towards them as she went to sit down besides him, “I’m sorry, what are you sick with?” she asked, making the Atlatnean sigh, “I have no idea, I’ve just been getting worse and worse headaches… I can barely do things I used to do back during the war.” he said and hearing that, the woman cocked her head to the side, “The War?” she asked, making the Atlantean shake his head.
“The Second World War? The Nazi’s trying to destroy The Jewish population? How do you not know?” he asked and hearing that, the woman had taken a deep breath before she started to lean back, whistling towards the wind that was around them, making Namor surprised and confused by that as a man approached them, “Hello there, Namor, and you must be Penny Hammond, The Human Cyclone?”
That made the woman and him confused, “Penny Hammond?” The Aerokinetic started to ask before Namor saw that his face was starting to get covered by a Scarlet helmet, “I am The Scarlet Centurion, and I need Namor and another.” he said towards them, making the Atlantean confused and worried, he went to attack, his cane at the ready to attack when he was hit with something that made him confused.

Namor had found himself in unfamiliar waters, they looked normal, but as he observed it all, the Prince saw that there were Atlanteans who were all dead, appearing to have been devoured by some sort of strange shark, “I need you to take care of this.” The Scarlet Centurion told him, throwing a device on him which wrapped him in some sort of strange field, “Don’t worry, you’ll be full powered for this.”
But the moment that Namor felt it, he charged forward, going to punch him in the jaw until his body froze up, making the Prince glare towards it all before The Scarlet Centurion spoke, “On this Earth, there was a attack from one of the most dangerous enemies of The Golden Agency.” he said, making Namor glare, “What is that supposed to be–?” he started to ask before seeing there was the target.
The Prince saw that there was a Shark–like being that had a spike–like fin between his brow, his inky black eyes seeing them and snarling as he started to swim towards them, “That is Kekon, he would wipe out your people if you let him, so I suggest that you kill him or else.” the man said before he vanished, Namor back in motion as he saw the being that was known as Kekon apparently.
“I missed one of you? Good… I will make sure that your meat will last.” he said with a grin, the large dark blue being said, his claws going to slash towards Namor, but he was able to duck and avoid the attack from the beast, “I am not sharing this, meat.” he snarled towards Namor, making the Prince confused by that, what he was trying to avoid his attacks before seeing a trident he took.
The man tried to pierce through the skin, but it hit the armor that he wore, making it break as the item that was buried into the center started to glow violet before it fired towards him, hitting the Prince hard and into a building, destroying it and making him cough up blood, in pain and looking towards the being, “I am Kekon, The Leviathan, your water is mine, and your people are my meat.” he snarled.
Hearing that, Namor was about to be charged by the being, Kekon, again, but instead of feeling the claws hit him, there was the sound of something else hit something, making him confused as he looked around, trying to see what was going on when he saw there was a little girl in blue and white with a dark blue cape, her platinum blonde hair and purple eyes looking at him with concern underneath a glass bubble.
“Are you okay?” she asked of Namor, looking at him with concern as the being, Kekon, he smiled, “Tough meat, you will be delicious!” the man said with a grin and hearing that, Namor got up, grabbed a great sword that he twirled like the old days, “Stay behind me, this monster needs to be dealt with.” he said as the girl looked around and gasped, shocked by the sight before her.
Namor went into a fighting stance, ready to fight when he saw red hair floating, following them, he realized that it might be Dorma, but also could have been his mother, the two of them could have struggled as they were torn apart, “Imperius Rex.” he snarled towards Kekon who simply laughed towards him as he charged forward, the core powering up again as the Prince went to charge as well.
Slashing towards the skin, he started to use the flat of the blade, making sure that there was pain that he deserved from everything before the Prince saw that there were more and more of those shark monsters that were coming in and it made the Prince look at the girl, “Get out of–!” he started to say when she grabbed him and started to lift him upwards and into the air.

Namor had gasped as he and the girl had been torn up into the air, Namor started to use his wings and flew in the air, the feeling that his powers were back to their full power had made him feel great, and he almost smiled while the… was she nine years old? How did a kid have that much power? “Uncle Namor?” the girl asked him, making Namor confused, “I’m sorry, I have no idea who you are.”
That made the girl give a look, “You said bye to me before the nuclear bomb, mama and papa said that–” she started to say when there was a roar from below, the two looked down and saw that there were the shark people coming up, all of them wrapped around the same violet energy as Kekon who had grinned, “Take their meat!” He shouted with glee as the girl fired beams of energy from her eyes.
The glass helmet had two holes melted in and Namor went to fall down, going and punching one, kicking another, and slashing with the sword, it seemed that the ones that WEREN’T Kekon had been more vulnerable and it felt good that he was getting his revenge for his family before seeing that there was a beam of light that came in, he thought it was joseph for a moment before seeing it was someone else.
It was a man that wore a deep red airman outfit who had a long coat on as well as a staff that was glowing with light, using his item to force them downwards and back onto the water, making the Prince relieved for a bit before he looked towards the man, “Thank you–” “Namor? You– You’re dead.” the man said as the girl flew over to him, “Uncle Tristan! The space sharks are back!”
Hearing that, the man, Tristan, had glared towards the sight and saw that there was the man in question, “Come on, to The Kolesnitsa!” he shouted as they headed away, seeing that, the Prince thought before deciding that there was more and more of The Shark Aliens that were coming in and it was making the man wonder more and more on what exactly was going on.

The Atlantean had been following them and as he looked, the man saw that there were two beings who had been looking at them, one of them was a blonde man that wore yellow with a blue cape and belt while the woman who looked identical to the girl, wore a white bodysuit with a yellow cape, “Eden! What were you thinking?!” The woman who was obviously her mother asked.
“I’m sorry, I wanted to see The Atlantean people, you always said they were so nice and that Queen Fen would be so–” “Namor?” The blonde asked, making the Prince look towards the man with some caution and some confusion as he landed, the sword still in hand, “Can you tell me what is going on? The Scarlet Centurion brought me here and told me to fight those–?” “Wait, a quick question.” Zarda who was there asked.
“Where you are from, is there a Squadron Supreme or a Golden Agency?” She asked, him as the strangers all looked towards the Prince with wonder and confusion, “The Squadron Supreme, which means that you’re that universe the others told me about?” the Prince said as Zoran smiled towards him, “Well, I’m Zoran, The Sun God, this is my wife, Sumerki, The Moon Goddess.”
The woman there looked at him with a smile now before she looked to the girl, Eden, “And this is Theia, our daughter, Reverie is somewhere around here, but–” “I’m sorry, but what’s Kekon exactly?” Namor asked and hearing that, the group paused, all of them confused by all of it, their dead friend from another universe and it made the group a bit confused by it before The Rider spoke.
“Kekon is an alien conqueror, he is from a species that had lost its water over millions of years, evolving to survive without it, now it’s their most valuable resource, it’s addictive like a narcotic, and they will wipe out entire planets so that they can have all the water they want.” the man said and hearing that, Namor paused, “And why is Kekon stronger than me? What’s that strange purple thing he has in his chest?”
That made Zoran sigh, “It’s a irradiated meteor from Kekon and it has enhanced him to the levels of me and Sumerki–” “Evelyn.” The woman said towards him, “Ethan, he’s Namor, even if he’s from another universe, I think that we can trust him.” The Platinum Blonde said towards him and hearing that, the little girl smiled wide, “I’m Eden Elliott! And I’m gonna be named Theia when I become a superhero!”
That made Namor smile towards that when the boat started to rock, making them look towards each other before The Photon Flyer had left the boat now, aiming towards the water, “They found us!” The man shouted out and hearing that, the others went to help out as well, going to the sides as Namor readied the blade, at least until he saw The Boogeyman who went to wrap around his sword.
It started to enhance the blade, “That should give you an edge.” the human half said towards them, making the Atlantean nod towards that before the man slashed towards one of the creatures which made the beast shout out in pain as it was torn asunder, the Prince surprised by that, looking at the item with some concern as more of them leapt towards the ship, some of them starting to eat into the ship.
“Aim for their gills by their ribs! Kekon is the most dangerous but the others are not slouches!” Sumerki had shouted before firing a shot of Flash Vision towards one that got close to the girl, “Eden! Out of range, NOW!” She shouted as The Photon Flyer started to create a bubble of energy that started to collect some of them, but Kekon had seemed to be unaffected, instead he seemed to be excited.
“I will eat your flesh and dry your planet!” he shouted towards them and hearing that, the Atlantean and Zoran both charged forth, Namor going to stab into the chest piece, but it only created a field which protected the core as he went to grip Zoran’s fists and then headbutt the man, making the man get thrown backwards and glaring towards Kekon who chuckled, looking to Namor.
“I don’t like fried meat, but you should be worth it.” he said to him as the sphere shot out, frying him, but keeping Namor alive as he had fallen down onto the ground, stumbling as he crashed in pain, at least until the spirit that come out of the sword and cushioned him, “Thank you.” he said as it dropped him and went back into the sword and as he did Kekon laughed.
“Zoran! I cannot wait to devour your–!” he started to shout before there was a noise which made the man look down and see that there was a shadow where the item was, a hand grabbed at it and tore it away, “No…” Kekon said, grabbing at the shadow, but the power around him started to power down, making the others start to power down enough, “Let’s go, NOW!” The Boogeymsn shouted.
Reacting, Namor had flown fast and punched him HARD in the jaw, knocking him back enough to skip the water into Sumerki who had been taking care of the majority with the rest of The Golden Agency, the shark aliens restrained by The Photon Flyer and Eden as she grabbed him, “It’s time to sleep with the fishes, Kekon!” The Superwoman shouted, taking him down with a final blow.

They had looked towards the wrapped up aliens who were still in the Gravity Bubble, “I’ll let The Nova Guardians know and they’ll bring him to The Kyln.” Tristan promised, “Nova Guardians?” he asked, making Tristan lift his staff, “They’re Spacemen that act as police, one of their helmets had crashed here and I used it to connect to The Nova Force.” he said, twirling the staff.
Namor had been surprised by that, wondering what The Nova Force was, but seeing that they were all restrained, he gave a moment of relief towards them, at least until The Scarlet Centurion had appeared there, making them all look towards each other before Nathaniel looked around, “I have to say, you did splendid work, and if I had a choice, I would help you wipe out Kekon or keep him as a slave.”
That made the leader of the shark people who wanted to snap, “Oh shut up, go home.” he said, snapping his fingers and sending them away and towards somewhere else, “What did you–?!” Zoran started, “They’re home, on timeout for a year back on their planet.” he explained, making the Golden Agency a bit worried and concerned by that before they saw The Scarlet Centurion approach Namor.
“Take the Spirit out, you can keep the sword.” he said, hearing that, Namor looked as B’og S’piir came out and entered Thaddeus again, the man relieved by the feeling before he saw that there was a few Atlanteans who started to get up to the water, Dorma and Fen, both looking relieved with Dorma having something in her arms that made him pause in surprise for a moment.
“Zoran, thank you for dealing with the Sharks and–” “Namor?” Dorma said, the two women looking towards The Prince with shock and concern as the baby boy looked at him with confusion, “Dada?” he asked now, making Namor pause, looking towards them with shock, confusion now as Nathaniel sighed, “No, we’re not doing this, Windor McKenzie, your alternates son, Namor from Earth–20484, not yours.”
The three of them were about to say more before Nathaniel made the Atlantean vanish, “We’re done with that, enjoy yourselves.” he said, not seeming to care about that as they started to be concerned about what was going on as they started to move, “What… what happened?” Dorma asked in shock, confused by what happened as Fen looked towards them as well with some caution.
“He was an alternate from another Earth sent here to fight against Kekon… the same Earth we’ve deal with before.” Zoran said and hearing that, Eden had looked towards him, “Is there a Golden Agency like here?” she asked with fascination towards them, making the others start to think on that as the boy that they had been looking for had landed there now, “Solomon! Where were you?” Evelyn, his mother asked.
That made the boy who named himself Reverie, had looked towards them, “I went to find Mrs. Fen and Miss Dorma, then I got everyone else.” he said, pointing towards the plane which had the others on it, making Zoran smile towards his son, patting him on the shoulder, “Good job, Solomon.” he said with a smile, making the boy happy towards the statement while Eden went to go and hug her brother.
The two of them were the supertwins, happy to be like their parents and to save the world, “Can you… can you tell us about Namor?” Dorma asked of the group, “I want to hear whatever you know about him, about the life that he lived.” she said and hearing that, the others looked towards each other before this Zarda spoke, “To start off with, the man survived the atomic bomb…”

Namor arrived in the area again and as he looked around, Namor saw that there was his cane from before, he was back where he had been, looking around with confusion, the Prince realized that the device his kidnapper installed broke and he felt his powers back to their weakened state, making the man grab the cane, the greatsword was still there but it was fine.
He had been relieved, he liked that, but there was still the matter of that girl, Penny Hammond, so he went to walk off towards The Hammond residence, hoping that things shouldn’t be took bad for his friend with that person, in fact, he might like the fact that he had a family member there with him, taking a deep breath, he took the sword which was thankfully in a large bag, got his cane and started to walk forward.

9/9/1948, Hammond Residence, Brooklyn
The Atlantean knocked on the door, worried for what was going to happen when the door opened, revealing his friend who was wearing his policeman’s uniform, “Namor, what’s–?” “Penny Hammond, she has a power like you, and I want to–” “Jim? What’s going on?” a African American Man had asked, making the Atlantean confused by the man as he saw that Jim looked a little anxious.
“Meet my brother, Franklin, The Human Fissure.” he said and hearing that, the Atlantean was surprised while Franklin twisted his hand and the nearby dust, sand and first coalesced into a fist around his hand, “I control Earth, Cyclone controls air and… Jim, controls Fire.” he said and hearing that, the Atlantean was confused, “No water?” he asked them, making Franklin shrug.
“Penny and Franklin are joining The Squadron Supreme.” he explained towards Namor who was smiling towards that, at least until Jim saw his state, “What happened to you?” he asked, making the Prince chuckle, “I fought a Shark Alien on an Alternate Earth with The Golden Agency.” he said and hearing that, the Synthezoid was surprised by that statement before they started to move inside.
He started to talk and as he did so, Penny came in now and the moment that she did so, Penny smiled towards the sight, “I’m glad that you’re okay!” The woman said, going to hug him, “So did that Scarlet Centurion bring you back or did you have to fight them?” she asked, making Namor a bit confused by what was going on right now as Jim was making some more space for him.
“So, what was it like on The Alternate Earth?” she asked and hearing that, the Altantean had been given a cup of coffee from the kitchen, “Well, the first thing that I saw was that there was a torn apart Atlantis that the monster Kekon had chewed up and spewed out before going to attack the others.” he said and hearing that, the three listened in with fascination while he wondered what they did while he was gone too.

Dorma smiled towards the latest files that she had before she noticed that there was a message from Nammu, curious, she looked and seen that there was something that made her curious, apparently, she had been told a story by Namor about being taken from their universe and then brought to fight against something called a Kekon, and there, Fen had been the queen and Dorma–
She stopped and saw that there was something which made the Lady of Atlantis pause, apparently Namor dies, but she was carrying a little red haired boy named Windor McKenzie, “Windor, I like that for a name.” She thought and hearing that thought in her head, The Lady of Atlantis was surprised by that before deciding that she was going to log that away for later.
Dorma went to destroy the letter and as she did so, the woman saw that there was something which made her confused, going to pick it up, she realized that there was something, it was a camera, one that was starting to skitter around and making the woman realize that whoever had sent this knew things that she probably didn’t want people to know, and it made the Lady all the more spooked at what could happen.
