Chapter 8: Fight me !! P1

Noah POV :

I want to fight her . that was the first thought I had when I saw the ancient one walk out of the mirror dimension. ahhhh, how far could the strongest guardian of earth push me in a fight? Maybe il have to use the super Saiyan one? But, no, we are talking about THE Sorcerer Supreme here. She will be able to push me toward using super Saiyan three.

I could feel my blood pumping from such a thought. A battle between the strong. Is this what the Saiyans feel? The craving for a Strong opponent, someone who would test their metal and help them reach a higher level through Combat. No wonder most of them are battle junkies. They were born to chase battles and would happily die in one.

Nonetheless, il have to get her to fight me on her own accord. The sooner, the better, but how? I can't use threats. It will just destroy any chance of me living on earth. What is worse, if the ancient one got injured, it would fall upon me to defend the planet from every single invader. No thanks, fighting is fun and all, but there is no guarantee all of them will be on the same level or higher than the ancient one.

Wait a second. I am overthinking it. The ancient one is a Master of the mystic arts AND the Martial Artist. So she would understand if I asked her for a spar, right?

Alright, Noah, smooth and easy just ask her for a spar and be done with it.

I descended toward where the ancient one was standing and opened my mouth, uttering one word, " fight me !!!".

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH , internally screamed. You fucking idiot. Who starts a conversation like that?

The ancient one, visibly confused, replied, " excuse me ?".

While trying to save what is left of my image, I hurriedly replied: "a spar, I meant spar. I sensed you are a strong individual, so I wanted to ask for a spar ".

God damn it, this is awkward. More than ten thousand years in that place made my Social skills akin to that of a primate.

After a few moments of awkward silence, the ancient one hummed and replied, " interesting. But, before I decide, I'll need to clarify this."

"You. An alien entity. Flew down to earth, saved one of the brilliant minds of this era, and somehow afterward, you pinpointed the exact location from where I was observing you just for you to land in front of and yell and a quote (Fight me!!) for no apparent reason other than me being strong? Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered, but I'll need a better reason than that to spar with you."

I scratched the back of my head while pondering how to respond.

After a few seconds, I sighed and replied.

" To answer your question il have to go back to the origin of my race.

My race, called the Saiyans, is a warrior race of an alien planet. We are naturally aggressive and like nothing but to battle the strong. So we would even spare worthy fighters just for the chance they could come back stronger and give us a better fight."

"That is the race I hail from; We are a bunch of bloodthirsty battle maniacs that like nothing more than fighting. But I'm different.

I am an ancient Saiyan, the ancestor of all peoples who call themselves Saiyans.

I have the purest blood of all my race, and with that blood comes ten times the aggressiveness and even higher thirst for battle.

If I were a normal ancient Saiyan, I would have already dashed toward you and started a fight—no, asking for a spar. No heads-ups."

"That how aggressive this bloodline is, but as I said, I am different. I used to be human before I was reborn and became what I am now, and with me retaining some of my human psyches, I managed to keep myself in check."

"But after .... let's say fortunate and unfortunate circumstances, I fused with something, and afterward, I went into a coma-like state."

"When I woke up, I gained this body, but Still, at the same time, I lost what made my mind human. My thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all changing with every passing second.

The worst of all. I don't know if I have lost my humanity entirely or if it's just buried deep inside my psyche by someone or something....."

"Anyway, back to the point, I must vent off all the aggression I have built so far. Then would my mind and body reach a temporarily but calm state, then I would be able to delve deep into my mind and figure out what is wrong with me ".

I exhaled deeply and continued, "but I won't ask for your help for free.

If you help me, I will help you in return. I will defeat Dormammu and find a safe way for you to prolong your life on that, I promise ".

The eyes of the Sorcerer Supreme became sharp, and she replied,

" as I thought, you do know the future. At first, I wasn't sure, but now I am certain."

" You saved the life of stark and then healed him, getting his gratitude in the process. But what stark doesn't know is that you altered his future."

"Stark was supposed to learn that the palladium core in the arc reactor that keeps him alive and powers the armor is slowly poisoning him. But, unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to find a substitute—growing increasingly reckless and despondent about his impending death."

" S.H.I.E.L.D. would offer assistance that will lead him to discover his father's legacy. But you altered his body while healing him, didn't you? You made his body better, stronger, and the peek of what a human being could normally be."

" But you failed to mention that you enchanted stark body with poison resistance and an above-average one. You knew very well that all Stark needed was time, and you gave him plenty of it."

" By all means, the palladium poisoning will happen, but now it won't be as fast. Stark would have the time to find the new element on his own, and he won't need anyone's help. "

"And now, in return for my help, you offering to settle a problem no one expects me knew about, so either you have knowledge of the future of heroes and key figures of earth or you just one hell of a prophet. And let's not forget the source of my problem is not normal either."

"We are talking about the Cosmic Conqueror Dormammu, the Destroyer of Worlds. A being of infinite power and endless hunger, on a quest to invade every universe and bring all worlds into his Dark Dimension. And he hungers for earth most of all."

" So now you telling me you would take on such a being just to return a Favor? If it were any other person, I would have opened a portal and thrown them off Mount Everest."

" But you are different. I peeked into the future and saw a few things you have done, so I am inclined to believe in you. And to be honest, I already have a long list of cosmic beings who want to invade earth for one reason or another. So adding you to that list because you have gone feral is just silly I'll rather spend that time drinking tea while reading, thank you very much ".

The ancient one waved her hand, and a glass-like crack appeared behind her

" Follow me into the mirror dimension. I don't want half of Los Angeles to turn into a battlefield while we are sparing. I am the guardian of earth after all," said the ancient one, walking into the crack with both hands behind her back.

I stared at the ancient one for a second and headed into the crack.

When I got in, I looked around curiously and said, " You know, I always expected the mirror dimension to be purple. I don't know why ".

The ancient one chuckled. She waved her hands, and the entire dimension began moving and changing.

After a while, a vast circle-shaped platform could be seen, then after a few moments, the ancient one said, " the preparations are complete . all is left is to proceed with the Kamar-Taj sparing costume," said the ancient one with a hint of cheerfulness could be heard in her tone.

I had a bewildered look on my face while replying to the ancient one, " Kamar-Taj sparing costume? I had never heard of such a thing ".

The ancient one smiled lightly and replied, " it is an old costume of Kamar-Taj when two sorcerers intend to spar, both the challenger and the challenged will state their name and title then the spar would commence after. "

I nodded my head and replied while crossing my arms," I see," and began profoundly thinking about how I would represent myself.

After a few moments of consideration, I looked at the ancient one and replied, " alright, I'm ready. "

I stood tall, looked into the ancient one eye, and said, " I, Noah Alexander, the plane walker here, formally request a spar of the ancient one. "

The ancient one looked back at me and replied, " I, the ancient one, the Sorcerer Supreme accept your request. "

Both of us immediately took a fighting stance. The ancient one materialized a Tao Fan in her right hand and moved the other hand behind her back. At the same time, I took a square stance ( a stance similar to the Goku stance), and after a few moments of assessing each other, I made the first move and Flew toward the ancient one with lightning speed.

:BAAAAAAAAANG:

Meanwhile, one could hear Fury Talking on the phone in S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Nick Fury: "Agent Maria, is there any news on what is happening in Los Angeles? ".

Agent Maria: "Sir, I have good news and bad news. "

Nick Fury:" tell me the good news. "

Agent Maria: " Tony stark has survived, and he is on his way back to his Villa as we speak with and with no apparent injuries. "

Nick Fury:" That's good to hear. Stark is a high-value asset to shield. But what of the bad news? Has Obadiah managed to Escape? "

Agent Maria: " No, Sir Obadiah is dead, though the one who killed him appears to be the unknown Alien entity ".

Nick Fury: "WHAT!!? Do we have any footage of the fight Between the two ? ".

Agent Maria: "Sending you the footage now, Sir. "

Nick observed the whole fight between Noah and Obadiah, his eye twitching every few sec, and after the footage had stopped playing, he got up from his desk and yelled, "FU*K!!. What the hell is this? that was a one-sided massacre. A person wearing high-tech armor got torn apart like paper. Also, what the hell is wrong with that Alien mother fu*ker?Super strength, super speed, flight, and on top of that, HE CAN SHOOT LASER. What the hell is he? the only other person I know who could do that is Carol Danvers (captain marvel) ".

Nick started walking around his office in deep thought, and after a few minutes, he stopped and murmured, "I have to call Carol. The avenger program isn't ready yet, and if that alien ends up being bad news for earth, then the only person who could stop him is her."

"But that is for the worst scenario. So, for now, let's try to approach the alien and find out what he intended to do. By the time we figured everything out, Carol should have arrived if he had been friendly and cooperative. We could use the alien in the avenger program, and if he was bat sh*t crazy, shield and Carol Could take care of him" Nick Walked back to his desk and called from his phone.

Nick Fury: "Agent Maria. "

Agent maria:" yes, Sir?".

Nick Fury: "Send an order to agent Natasha to drop whatever mission she is doing right now and head back to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. We urgently need her expertise to approach and track the alien entity, brief her about the target, and ..."

: Rumble : : Rumble :

Nick Fury:" An earthquake ?"

:Rumble : :Rumble : :Rumble : :Rumble : :Rumble : :Rumble :

Nick Fury: "No, that's not it. Then what the hell is this sound? Agent Maria call the analysis team and ask them what the hell is going on ".

Agent Maria;" on it, Sir."

After what felt like years of waiting for Nick, his phone rang, and he answered hastily.

Nick Fury:" what did the analysis team say?"

Agent Maria:" Sir, unfortunately, they could only find the starting point for earthquakes. "

Nick Fury:" Where are these earthquakes coming from? "

Agent Maria:" Los Angeles, Sir "

Nick Fury:" MOTHER FU*CKER. "
