New Allies Along The Way
1/10/1937, Phaeder’s Laboratory, The FInal Tomb
Phaeder was looking over the samples that Alveus had given and as he had looked on his shoulder, the worm had looked to Maelstrom who had been looking at everything that was there before he had went to the scrolls that were all there, curious, the scientist had went and looked at it, “The tale of the two scientists?” he had asked, making the boy nervous, “Y– Yes.” he said.
That had made Phaeder curious as he had went and walked over, making them both look as they had heard the boy, “Yeah, long ago, there were two scientists, one that believed in Science, the other in Magic.” he had said as they listened to him, both having heard the story as they had seen the blue scientists in their minds, “The Scientist of Science had wanted to create a chemical,” he said.
“One that would allow them to grow and create warriors which they would be able fight their enemies, the green demons.” he said, there never being a singular image, they were always changing, “The other one though wanted to equip them with a stone, one that would give them powers untold!” he had told them with a smile as they had seen that there was a crystal.
“The Scientist of Science had bargained with The Scientist of Magic, they would each create a champion with their own tools, and the Scientist of Magic agreed!” he said with a smile as they had looked towards him, “So they had each brought a hundred of the subjects and left them in a arena and then their tools, one of the Magic Scientist’s fifty had taken the crystal, flying and glowing!” he said happily.
“But when Science Scientist had dropped his item, it had exploded and turned the remaining 99 into their warriors, making them all on The Science Scientist’s side, so then they had went and fought and Science won!” he had shouted to them, making the two smile at that as Maelstrom continued, “So they let the Science Gas stay but no more Crystals were allowed here!” he said proudly.
That had made the two of them glad that he knew as they had went and taken the scroll, “So what are we going to do about The Royals being a problem?” Phaeder had asked of Alveus as his son read it again, “That is something that we won’t have to worry about if my favorite Deviant Prophet is correct.” he had told them, making the worm all the more curious.

9/2/1939, The Throne Room, The Royal Palace
Monarch had been sitting on his throne, the recent problems that were happening with The Alpha Primitives were a problem, it seemed that unless the Jurat had some way to constantly protect themselves, they ended up dead a little while later thanks to Dkamas, glaring at it all, he had went and started to twirl a lock of his hair around his finger before he had seen that there was a Scout.
“My King!” he had shouted out, making them look towards the man who was breathing heavily, “There… there is a new war happening in Europe!” he had said towards them, making the King raise an eyebrow, “My King, I’ll start to recall the scouts–” You’ll do no such thing.” Monarch had said towards Gorgon, surprising them all as Monarch had looked to the telepath there.
“Sterilon, I want you to give this order.” he had commanded, “Tell them all to infiltrate, stay hidden, and tell me all military secrets, understood?” he had asked, making them all look at each other before Sterilon had spoken, “My King?” he had asked of him, making Monarch glare, “The world is advancing.” he told them, “It is only a matter of time before they discover us so we must be careful.” he told them.
Hearing that, they had looked at each other, a bit unsure when Monarch had grinned, “Is there anyone else that does not see the necessity of such a situation?” he had asked of them, making the Inhumans all bow their heads, “No, My King.” Gorgon had said towards him, “Excellent, then we will go ahead and send them all the message.” he had told them all.
That had made the group all curious as they had seen that there was the Telepath going ahead and doing as much, taking a deep breath as he had went ahead and started to give the message as far as he could to everybody that was within his range and those telepaths telling those that were within their range and so on and so forth until they all knew now.
Seeing that it was done, he had smiled before going and walking away from them, as he did so, the rest of the Royal Family had wondered what was going on before they had all started to go and headed towards their own schemes and their own thoughts, all of them going and heading towards the places where they could do as much and try to get ready for whatever was happening.

9/2/1939, Petragon Apartments, The Royal Palace
Gorgon had went and taken a glass, going and drinking a glass and as he had done so, The members of the Royal Family had looked towards each other before Blackagar had started to sign, “<He’s trying to expand his influence.>” he had said, disliking that with the others as they had started to think, “We have Auran in the West, but she’s stuck on that naval base.” Medusalith had told them.
That had made them look and think, “We can go ahead and get some knowledge there, but we’ll need to send Triton.” Karnak had said, “Or somebody that can go there without being tracked.” Minxi said there, Elejea and Marista standing behind The Amaquelin sisters with curious eyes, “Triton’s spoken about this girl… Codri, maybe–” “No, she lives in the lowest section of The Ocean, she’s not reliable.”
That had made them all think on that before Crystal had spoken, “What about that guy?” she had asked of them, confusing them, “What guy?” Maximus had asked, “You know, the guy that Kitsu and Aunt Azur had pushed back… maybe he’s a friend we can count on?” She had asked and hearing that, they had looked to Maximus, thinking he would be the best to ask her, making him look up from his work confused, “What?”

9/2/1939, Amakitsu Residence, Residential Area
Maximus had knocked and waited as Kitsu had opened the door, smiling, “Prince Maximus, what can I do for you?” she had asked of him, making him a bit nervous before going and entering, “So what is this about?” she had asked of him, making Maximus look and see that there was photos of Auran, “I was wondering about Auran’s father.” he said, making Kitsu pause, “What?” she asked.
That had made Maximus curious at that before he had spoken, “Auran’s father isn’t an Inhuman, I’ve seen Vinatos’s records and the only reason he’d leave the paternal lineage missing is if he didn’t know the lineage,” he had told her, making Kitsu glare towards him, “So he had to have not been born on Attilan.” he said, making Kitsu sigh at that, “I’ll tell you, on the condition you don’t repeat any of it to Auran.”
Hearing that, Maximus had nodded as she had started to tell him everything, “He is what he likes to call, a ‘stranger’, a person born with a unique ability unlike us who needs Terrigen.” she told him, he was kind, he had seen much loss… and he has power back in his home country.” she had told him, making Maximus think, “Is there a way to contact him?” he had asked of her.
“Why?” she had asked, cautious at the moment as Maximus spoke, “Because I’d like to have a spy in the Western World.” he had said and hearing that, they had both looked, “I told him that he could never come here again.” he had said and hearing that, Maximus grinned, “I’m sure that we would be able to work with something like that.” he told her and hearing that, Kitsu started to think on who she hated more right now.

9/9/1939, Palace Hotel, San Francisco
John Howlett Junior was reading over a newspaper, waiting for the time when he would be able to go ahead and speak to his contacts in the Far East, his Silk Dealers being stubborn and annoyed before there was a ringing in his ears, annoying him as he had went and starting to drop his cup, at least until he had noticed that there was something, something that had made him look around.
“Who are you?!” he had snarled, making the ringing turn into an annoyed noise, “It has been a while, but then again, you preferred Kitsu to myself.” The bot had said, making him look around in anger, “Sterilon?!” he had asked, looking around in anger before Sterilon spoke, “Kitsu wishes to speak to you.” He had said, making him start to stand up, curious as he looked around.
“Kitsu?” he had asked of her, making the sound in his mind change, “Hello there, John.” She had said to him, “I’m sorry that I–” “And here I was getting over you.” he had joked, never having gotten over her, “This is serious.” She told him, “I was wondering… how would you like to keep talking like this?” She had asked, making him sigh at that, “That’s what I hate about you.” he said to her.
“What?” She had asked of him, “You always knew how to pull my strings.” he had told her, getting up and stretching, “So what do you need me to do?” He had asked of her, “Just to watch and listen in the heart of The Western World.” She had said and hearing that, John smiled, “Now doesn’t THAT sound like fun?” he had asked her, hoping that this would lead to better relations in the future.

5/25/1940, Capitol Building, Washington DC
John had went and entered, looking around everywhere before he had seen that there was a man that had looked quite familiar to him, “Phaeder?” he had asked, making the man turn towards him, “Well, it’s been a while, Mr. Howlett.” he had said and hearing that, John had smiled before he had entered, “Should I be worried?” he asked, “No…” Phaeder said, “I’ll be heading to Asia soon.” he said as they both went to deal.

6/1/1941, Storage Vault R3M12–9, Vormir
Sk’ym’x had been sent on his first missing, he was to infiltrate this Storage Vault of forbidden secrets ad weapons that were too dangerous for even The Kree to utilize, it had made him curious and cautious as he had went and scanned through, the Vorms were kept away thanks to the cage that was there, Sk’ym’x was disguised as a Kree General of The Science Council, it having taken him MONTHS to find the proper ID.
So as he had typed away on the datapad, searching for anything that his Empire would be able to win against them when he had seen something, it was some sort of crystal which had apparently the capabilities of being a planetary threat which was discontinued due to a debate on something called Project Primagen, seeing that, he had decided the crystal was the best possible option at the moment.
The ‘General’ had went and started to get to work on the data that was available before he had seen that the door was opening up and revealing that there was something coming, a squadron of Kree soldiers who had all started to raise their weapons, “Stop in the name of The Supremor!” The General he had been impersonating had shouted out to them.
Hearing that, Sk’ym’x, the Super–Skrull, had went and shot out a mind blast, hitting a few at he had grown an extra pair of arms to go and request the stone and as he had went and done as much, the Kree had glared, “Somebody shoot that Flarker!” The General had shouted as he had went and accessed another terminal, looking to see what he was taking as they saw that there was something coming.
The orbs that were there had started to be dragged through and as he had seen that, he had went and flown upwards, going and grabbing it, tearing it open as he had aimed one of the spare arms and shot a blaze of fire and that had made the Kree back away as he had seen that there was a cylinder of crystal inside of it, seeing that, he had went and grabbed and aimed it at them.
But there was nothing, nothing at all happened, making The General laugh, “That piece of scut doesn’t work, you idiot!” he said, but as he had said that, The Super–Skrull had went and reached into his mind and saw the truth, it did work, but there was a requirement that he could easily solve as He had went and made a cavity inside himself and shoved it in.
“Long live the Empire!” he had shouted towards them before he had went and flown overhead, as he had done so, the group had went and fired upon him, but they weren’t strong enough as he had released a wall of fire which had burned at the general, getting half of his face and making him scream as the soldiers had fired, “Somebody lower the cage!” he snapped.
That had made the soldiers look at him while The Super–Skrull had went and kept flying as the soldiers looked, “But sir–?” “Do it!” The general had shouted out and hearing that, they had looked at each other before one of them with the controls had went and lowered the cage, making the nearby Vorms go and enter, curious, “He’s a Skrull! Kill him!” The general shouted.
That had made them both look before they had started to approach and roar towards him, all of them throwing spears and using slings and as they had done so, the Skrull ignored them, their primitive weapons were annoying, but they were nothing to him as his clothes formed a helm protecting him from the vacuum before he had went and entered his ship now.
As he had went and started it up, Sk’ym’x had popped out the prism, looking at it before he had went and started up, looking to see that there was a map on the prism, there were coordinates on it and seeing those, he had grinned, “Perfect.” he said, going and heading towards the nearest one that was there and hopefully there was a way that he could use this weapon for The Skrulls.

6/20/1941, The Alkss, Earth’s Exosphere
The Super Skrull had looked, he saw that his engine was Flarked from a Kree attack, that was a problem, he looked and seen that he had lost them, that was great, but he needed to crash now, that had made him worry as he had went to grab the prism, looking around, he had opened a channel, “Kl’rt! Can you hear me?!” he had questioned on the comms, “Sk’ym’x– Wh– where–?” It had went.
Hearing that, he had started to send his coordinates, “Sk’ym’x! Repeat loc–!” Kl’rt had shouted out and hearing that, The Skymaster had went and started to send the information again and as he had done so, there was an error, “Sk’–! Re–! W– Sen– He–!” The commander of The Super–Skrullproject had shouted towards him, making him glare as he had checked the Hypernet on this planet.
It was primitive, but there were a lot of species that had visited it, even his people did fifty years ago or so, they never came back…seeing all of this, he had sighed, “Better than nothing.” He had went before he had went and started to direct the flight towards one of places that he would be able to survive in as he had hoped that there wasn’t anything that would kill him there.

6/20/1941, San Antonio, Texas
Joseph Ledger was flying his plane, his co–pilot, Randolph Gordon, was there too, seeing everything was good, “Okay then all systems are green.” Joseph had told them as he had seen everything, The Beechcraft C–45 was going smoothly and as they had continued to fly, Jo saw something that was off, “What is that?” he muttered and hearing that, Randy had looked as well.
“That looks like a comet.” Randy had said to him as they had went and headed towards the location which they had predicted was where it was as he had went and started a descent, “What do you think this is?” he had asked and hearing that, Randy had sighed, “I have no idea.” Joseph had said as they had went and landed, both of them starting to unstrap themselves and get out.
The two of them had looked at it, the thing was a strange and purple vessel that neither of them had ever seen before as they had walked towards it, both of them pulling out their pistols, ready to face anything when they had heard something, “Help… me…” A voice had said inside of their minds now which had made Randy scared which Joseph was curious as he had approached the ship.
“Joe–!” Randy had shouted, but he didn’t care, instead he had went and approached the inside where he had seen a Green Skinned man who was looking wounded, “Who… what are you?” he had asked as Randy raised a pistol to fire, but the green man snatched it away, “I am Sk’ym’x… a Member of The Skrulls… and I need assistance.” he had said to them.
Hearing that, Joe looked towards the creature when he had seen that there was a glowing light that had made him realize that there was a crystal there that had looked like a diamond, “It’s you…” he had said towards him, making the pilot confused now as he offered it, “I have been looking for a warrior… one with the ability to wield The Prism of Power.” he said, lying through his teeth.
“Do you accept the honor… of protecting your world from evil?” he had asked him, making Joe look while Sk’ym’x though that this would be the perfect field test as Joe looked at the him and the weapon, “Hell Yes I do, sir.” Joseph said, reaching out and the moment he touched it, he felt lightning in his veins.

9/3/1941, Boltagon Apartments, The Royal Palace
Maximus had been looking through everything that was there before he had seen that there was was something that had made him look as Maximus had seen the latest note that he had received from Auran, he had noticed that there was some discrepancies compared to the messages that they had gotten from John Howlett, she was getting limited info, as if they were hiding something.
That had made Maximus worried as he had looked towards everything as Karnak had went and entered, “So then… do you have any new strategies or plans in mind?” he had asked of him and hearing that, Maximus had pointed towards the old maps of the Control Group that they had been looking at before, “Come on, we’ve never even found anything.” Karnak had said towards him.
That had made the Prince giggle at that before he had went and taken a pill, he was getting sloppy, needed to work on that, “About that, I went ahead and checked on all of Triton’s old charts, asked around the smugglers… THIS is what I had found.” he had said, pointing towards a landmass that had been in The Southern Sea, “The Island of The Control Group is here.” he told Karnak.
Hearing that, the unchanged warrior had thought, “So then, how do you propose that we sneak out and find them?” he had asked, making Maximus grin, “Simply put, Maximus and I need to be committed.” he had said towards Karnak, making him a bt surprised and confused with that before he had gotten a rough idea, “I’m listening.” he had said, making maximus smile as he answered.

9/3/1941, The Amaquelin Apartments, The Royal Palace
The group that they had gathered had all looked around, Maximus being the only one standing as he had hit a gavel, “I’ve got a plan in mind.” he had told them, making the group look towards him, “What kind of plan?” Aireo had asked, curious what his boss would say, “I think I have a force that we can access.” he had told them, making the group all curious, “Do they have a name?” Medusa had asked.
“They do, they’re the control group.” he had said to them, making the older members who remembered his obsession sigh at that, “No, this time we ACTUALLY have their location.” Triton had said to them, Maximus had nodded as well, “We just need two things for this to work.” he told them, “What?” Crystal asked as confused as the others, “We need the two most expendable Royals.” he said with a grin.
