Squadron Supreme; Welcome to The Island
8/19/1945, Fort Erskine, Teton Wilderness
The members of the ‘Squadron Supreme’ had been looking around at it all as they saw The General walking towards them with a file, “Congratulations!” he told them with a file offered to them, “Your first mission is to this place.” he said, making them see that it was an island, one that seemed to be strange in a way as he spoke, “Back during the war, there were monsters that attacked Japanese vessels.” he told them, making the group curious at that right now.
“They had been called Sea Monsters, strange blue raiders had used them when suddenly, they vanished.” the man explained, “Some of the Navy noticed they came from this island, but there was no need for hostility.” he explained, making them all the more curious on what exactly he wanted from them, “The SSR wants to send a team, so I offered to send you all instead.” he told them.
Hearing that, Joseph looked towards the island, “Does it have a name?” he asked, making the man chuckle at that, “The Japanese call it モンスターの島。The island of monsters.” he said and hearing that, The Squad looked towards each other before smiling, “Should be interesting.” Sk’ym’x had told them as Zarda looked, “So then, whose flying?” she asked with a smile now.

The Squad had landed the plane on the beach, looking around now as they all were geared up and at the ready, “Scanning for nearby life.” Spectrum said before getting a read, “According to this, the larger animals are further in or underground, and there seems to be a village nearby the beach.” he continued, making Robbie look, “Human or not?” he asked of him.
“Looks human enough.” Joseph said as they had all agreed that it was the best option, going and heading towards the village now, they had each been cautious of it all now as they started to walk, Zarda with a sword, Joseph hovering over them all as Sk’ym’x had taken his featureless form and revealed his Skrull face, all of them unaware that there was a monster coming for them now.

8/19/1945, The Village, Monster Isle
The four of them looked towards each other before they walked in, seeing the people there and how they seemed to have a green dusting over their skin, one that was curious as one of them spoke, “Salam,(Hello there,)” The child said to them, “Siapa awak(Who are you?)” He said when they heard it, “Jauhi mereka! Mereka mungkin berasal dari negeri jahat!(Get away from them! They could be from the evil lands!)”
The Squadron had looked towards the people and how they seemed to be cautious, a few of them having a frit in their hands ready to throw while the others started to head towards some of the buildings there, “Krimonn, translate.” he said to the Prism, “Acknowledged.” The stone said as they had all started to understand, “Do you serve the evil ones?” the biggest one asked.
“The Evil ones?” Zarda asked, surprising them all at that before he continued, “They bear the mark of the Red Sun, they had hurt us, but they left when The Gods awoken and hungered.” he continued, making the four of them cautious of that phrasing but also something else, “The Red Sun?” Sk’ym’x had asked before he created the symbol of The Japanese Flag, “Like this?”
They all started to nod, scared of the sight as the child who spoke approached him with some wonder now, “Are you a god?” he asked, making Sk’ym’x shake his head, “No, I’m nothing like the gods that live here.” he said as Robbie had done a quick zoom and Joseph had flown upwards, looking around at everything there before The Villagers had looked towards each other.
“We wish to meet the gods.” Zarda said, “Our friends of The Red, White and Blue want us to make sure that The Evil Ones and others cannot hurt them.” She said as Sk’ym’x revealed The American flag now, “It is not those Evil Ones you must worry for, it is the others that we must worry over.” They continued, making the Squadron confused by that statement.
“Can you show us where the gods live? That way we can make their homes strong, so they will not have to deal with unworthy pests.” Zarda said, hearing that, the biggest one nodded, “I will show you.” he said, “As long as you promise not to draw the blood of our gods.” he continued, making the four of them look before Zarda spoke, “As long as we are allowed to defend ourselves.” she said.
Hearing that, they had nodded, finding that acceptable now, “Then let us go, to The Entrance of The Gods home.” he said and hearing that, they started to walk now, the four of them wondering what kind of gods they would be facing, and hopefully they would at least be able to make sure that nothing dangerous would be willing to come there to harm the people around there.

8/19/1945, The Entrance, Monster Isle
The four had looked at the gaping maw, almost as if the Earth was swallowing everything, leaving a hot and cruel darkness, “This is The Home of The gods.” he said and hearing that, the four were a bit more cautious as they started to approach now as Joseph brought in the sensors from the ship now, going and started to plant one into the ground now and as they had looked there was a noise.
They looked and seen that the sensor was starting up, “Okay, we should be able to get a monthly reading of the sensor and seeing that, they backed away now, “How deep does it go?” Zarda asked, making the man shake his head, “Deeper than a thousand trees, there is no end for the world of The gods.” he told them and hearing that, they were all a bit nervous.
Looking towards it all, they had been a bit scared at what was going on down there as Joseph had started to create a telescope, one that was large and set up for them to look and see everything there before Joseph had pause, “We need to back away, now.” he said and hearing that, the others complied, Sk’ym’x had went and started to camouflage while the man seemed unperturbed.
“We need not fear.” he said, confusing them as a creature had started to come out, an abominable snowman it seemed that was coming out, looking angry at it all before seeing that there was something that made the four confused by it all before seeing the creature sniff now and as it did so, the creature had backed away now, seeming to dislike the smell now.
“How did you that–?” “There is a flower that grows here, we use it’s fruit as ink to stain our skins, the smell keeping the gods from devouring us.” he said and hearing that, they had been a bit interested at the statement, “Can we see this flower?” Robbie asked and hearing that, they started to get a bit nervous before the man nodded, “Please, follow me.” he said and hearing that, the group followed.

8/19/1945, The Flower Temple, Monster isle
The five of them had walked in and as they saw it, The Squadron had been a bit surprised by how beautiful it was before the man spoke, “Here is the flower, born from the blood of a god and what offers us our protection.” he said and hearing that, The group was confused as they saw that there was some sort of metal that was having the strangest affect, “What kind of metal is this?” Sk’ym’x had asked.
Hearing that, the man looked towards him with a confusion, “We do not know, it has been here since Monster Isle, and we have known to not live near it, or else we become demons to spite our gods.” The villager said and hearing that, The Squadron was a bit more worried by that as Sk’ym’x had touched it now with a bit of curiosity now, which was when he had felt a flash.
He saw that there was a giant of Metal who had come to a place of magma and primordial change, of the titan coming to Skrullos, he did not know how he knew this, but he did, Sk’ym’x saw as The Changing People slayed The Unworthies, how their headwoman had lead them to slaughter them and The Eternal ones, when they found the last one kneeling in prayer to the metal gods.
“The Space Gods named me Kly’bn when they made me,” The being said, “And you must not kill me.” It told them as the Headwoman asked, “And why is that, coward?” She asked, “Because I AM you, and you cannot kill me without killing yourselves.” He said as Sk’ym’x realize what was happening, “For I am Kly’bn. I am The Eternal Skrull. And I love you.” Kly’bn said.
They cheered, celebrated as The Headwoman, Sl’gur’t, had joined with him as both of them began to unite, The Unchanging and She of The Eternal Names became the first gods of their pantheon now– “Skymax! Are you alright?” Joseph asked as Robbie had grabbed and pulled him away now as Zarda looked at the metal with caution, “What happened?” she asked scared now.
“I… I saw the birth of my gods.” Skymax said now and hearing that, they were confused, “Your gods?” the man asked, “Sl’gur’t and Kly’bn, those that had slaughtered The Unworthies and gave us our future.” he said and hearing that, they were spooked, “The Unworthies?” Joseph asked and hearing that, Skymax sighed, “Not a pretty part of our history.” he said and hearing that, they had gotten confused.
“There were originally three versions of our people, The Changing People, The Eternal Skrulls, and The Unworthies, the only ones born with no abilities, more like your Mutants.” he continued towards them, “Millions of years ago, I have no idea what had caused it, but The Changing People, my People, made sure that we were the only ones to rule our planet until Kly’bn had ascended to godhood.
That made them look, “So this metal is Skrull?” Zarda asked, making Sk’ym’x shake his head, “I’m saying that the metal is from The Space Gods that created us.” he stated and making the group all confused by that as the manspoke, “These ‘Space Gods’, what are they like?” the man had asked, hearing that, the Skrull had taken a breath, “Bigger and mightier than anything here.”
That made the Squadron confused as they started to hear a roar now which made the group look towards the sight of a giant Tree, “I AM KNUTT!” the creature snarled, making them look towards it now, “Spectrum–?” “Unable to translate, Flora Colossi is impossible to decipher through translators.” Krimonn had told him, “Flora Colossi?” he asked as the man bowed towards the creature.
The Flora Colossi had knelt down, glaring towards them, “I am Knutt.” the beast said before its eyes settled on Sk’ym’x, “I am Knutt!” the beast said again, shooting out a vine towards the Skrull who started to fly away in panic while the others charged, Zarda drew her blade to protect the villager and as he looked towards them, “You promised–!” “We are protecting ourselves!” Zarda said.
Hearing that, the man glared as Robbie grabbed at the man now as he went to run now, getting the civilian away now while Spectrum had created a forcefield around the creature, making a dome only for the creature to create roots into the ground and as they saw it, the vines had shot upwards now and it made the Squadron scared as they saw that each of them had went to wrap around them.
That made the four try to get free now, “I am Knutt!” the monster snarled and hearing that, they were confused as the monster pointed upwards, “I. Am. Knutt!” it shouted again, pointing to the sky, making the group confused, “Do you want me to bring you to space?” he asked, making the creature nod, “I am Knutt!” the being, the Flora Colossus said towards him.
“I am sorry, but I am unable to do that.” he said, “I have no vessel and do not even know where Planet X is in the sky.” he said and hearing that, The Flora Colossus had smashed the nearby ground, their vines tightening now, “I AM KNUTT!” the being said which made them all struggle, “Look!” Zarda said, “We can’t help you now!” she said towards the tree who glared.
“I am Knutt!” the being who was probably Knutt, had snarled before seeming to drop them know, “I am… Knutt.” Knutt told them, going and walking away now and as Knutt did as much, they had seen how Knutt started to walk away from them now and towards a arboreal vessel now which made them curious, “I am Knutt.” the being said, making them walk in after the being now.
Looking through everything that was there, they were surprised by it all before they saw that there was so much that was interesting, “This… This looks like it was designed for trees.” he explained, making the others confused by it before they saw that there was a core there, it had appeared almost like a seed, and it was dead it seemed, “I am Knutt.” the alien told them now.
“He wants us to jumpstart his ship.” Joseph said, “Can you do that?” he asked The Prism, “Yes, The Prism is able to do as much.” Hearing that, he smiled before he looked towards Sk’ym’x, “Can we trust him to not invade our planet?” he asked, making Skymax take a breath before he looked towards the creature, “Flora Colossi don’t care about meat.” he said to them.
That made the group confused, “They see vegetation as lesser, they use maintenance mammals to maintain their home, but honestly, they prefer to abduct a species now and then, but otherwise they just terraform a planet.” he said and hearing that, the group looked towards him with some caution, “I am Knutt?” he asked, making the group do a silent agreement.
“Do it, but Skymax–?” “Will do.” he said, going to steal a file from his computer and as they had done so, Knutt had watched the Doctor Spectrum who had looked at the jewel, “Krimonn?” he asked, “Acknowledged, will proceed with the process.” The jewel said and with that, they began to charge up the engine, the item beginning to glow now before it had finally begun to sprout now.
They had watched as a small root system proceeded to spread out now and as it had done so, the vessel had come to life, making the four of them amazed by that as they had seen almost an entire ecosystem come to life now, “I am Knutt.” the Flora Colossus told them with a small bend of his head, “You are welcome, “Knutt.” Zarda told him as they went to leave now, Skymax having a seed as they had left.
The group had watched as a pollen based fuel had started to lift off now, showing them as the tree almost bloomed, leaving behind life in its wake, “If we ever have the ability to fly into the stars… I hope we fly like them.” The Utopian said and hearing that, they all agreed, at least until there was a shot of a dart that had hit them each, making them start to fall down in confusion now before passing out.

8/19/1945, The Village, Monster Isle
As they awoke from their dream, the Squadron saw that there was the villagers who had been glaring, but also were a bit confused, “What did you do to the god?” the villagers leader had asked, making them look towards him, “Knutt wanted to go home in the stars, so we helped him.” Skymax said, making the group look down, “No, up.” Robbie told them, making the group surprised.
They had started to look upwards now before they had started to cheer, “The god of The Trees had returned home!” they had started to chant now and hearing that, they looked towards each other before they had seen that they were safe at the moment right now as they started to move, the villagers had went to start and grab, dancing with them now with a bit of enjoyment at that.
They had ben fine right now as the four of them had been a bit relieved, at least until they started to heard a noise which made the Squadron look and see that there was a creature that was coming towards them, an abominable snowman that had seemed furious, seeing the beast, The villagers had all started to go down in prayer like the one had done as usual right now.
They saw that unlike the others, the beast had seemed to be more enraged, going to attack one of the creatures now and seeing that, they looked towards the villagers, “This one is not stopping, should we–?” “The god is enraged, please quell them.” The one that had been leading them said and hearing that, they had started to move towards the beast.
First off, Spectrum had started to create a forcefield to protect the village, increasing the defense right about now and with that, Zarda started, charging forth with the shield right now, as she hit him in the gut right about now as Robbie had gotten a sable he had attached to his belt right about now to rite up his legs right now as Skymax had went to fire extreme amounts of heat to make him back off.
Seeing that, Zarda had lifted up to attack the Abominable Snowman now which made the creature back away, only for the cable to knock himself down now and seeing that, Robbie had gotten some more sables that were there to tie up the wrists and ankles right about now and as he was hogtied, looking towards the beast, they had been a bit relieved at the moment right now.
“Okay… where does he go?” Joseph asked of the villagers who looked towards the beast, the god and how they had defeated it, “The Snow God lives near the dark jungle where the land is colder.” he said, painting towards the direction which made the four of them start to get up right about now and as they did as much, The Villagers started to carve their symbols onto the ground now.

8/19/1990, The Dark Jungle, Monster Isle
They had started to move The Snow Monster onto the ground now, all of them starting to move away cautiously right now, “This should be fine, and it seems we’re going to need another sensor around here.” Spectrum so, going and placing it in somewhere that was safe at the moment and as they had watched that, Zarda went to slice through the cable right now.
The Abominable Snowman had started to get up, grunting in annoyance right about now before he looked towards them and huffed, going and walking away now and as he started to shuffle away, it seemed to be fine for the moment as they started to move right about now and as they had begun to look around, the Squadron had take a moment, “We need to monitor everything here.” Zarda told them.
The others were in agreement as they had each take a beacon or so, all of them were moving as cautiously as they could towards all of it right about now and as they had started to move their own ways, it might be more dangerous, but they wanted to make sure that they made sure that everything was secured so that nothing would surprise attack Japan or anywhere else.

8/20/1945, Monster Isle, Sea of Okhotsk
They had all arrived at the landing site now and as they walked towards the plane, they had each been given a few presents like the sarong that Spectrum wore around his waist or the idol that Robbie had been gifted, they all had been glad to meet them, but there was no way in Hell that they were going to tell The United State Government about them right now.
As they walked in, Joseph created a bubble to hold all of the items in question right now as Zarda went to the radio, “This is Power Princess.” she said, “We have finished with the marker placing and are now heading back.” she said, “Roger that, did you meet any friendlies there?” The man on the radio had asked, “No.” she said, “The monsters here are too dangerous and they can FEED off radiation.”
They saw that with Knutt and a few others, this place… it was not natural, “If we tried to bomb it or send an observation team, they might get worse.” she warned, all of them waiting with some worry right now, “Acknowledged.” He said, “Looks like you’re getting a new job.” He joked as The Squadron hoped that the people within and without the island would survive their decisions.
