Chapter 83 - Starforce Command Ship - 2

Maria held his palm, "Don't put your finger on the trigger? Ok?"

"Ok," Harry breathed in, and they followed after Cloud.

Maria looked at him holding her daughter's hand, and a smile appeared on her lips. She rushed up beside her daughter, walking in front of her.

"They are here!" A few Kree Soldiers came running, but they got pulled upwards and back before firing their guns.

"Demi."

"Sleepaga."

He picked Monica up, walking over their sleeping bodies when Fury stooped to poke their cheeks, "Are they…dead?"

"Sleeping. It won't last long. Twenty-seconds."

"Ok!" Fury walked over to them and, walking backwards, pointing at them, "Should I shoot?"

"Thundaga," Cloud muttered, and thunder started striking down from the ship's roof to the ground, but it didn't hurt them. It was struck down on a blank area, forming a wall.

"That should keep them away," He stopped, looking at them, "Hastega."

A blue gear formed around them, turning faster when he said again, "Shellga."

"Protectga."

"These should give you an edge, but try not to kill anyone."

"I am not sure if you realise. But we are in an alien warship?"

"And there is a child here," Cloud narrowed his eyes, "Do not kill in front of her."

"Big brother, I understand," Monica nervously smiled.

"Shut up. No one asked you."

Monica parted her lips, closing them; speechless, she looked down, "Ok."

They made another turn, and by now, Fury had an idea where they were, "Is it just me…or are we near the front of the ship?"

Cloud opened a door, and they could see numerous operators running the ship. He put Monica down and patted her head, "Stay here."

"We are coming," Maria said, but Cloud shook his head, stepping inside, and the door closed after him.

Fury turned around, pointing behind him in case someone came.

"So…what is he?"

"Super Soldier…from what I hear."

"Magic?"

Fury glanced back at Harry, "Where did you learn magic?"

"Uh…Hogwarts…it's a Magic School in London…there are others like that, in every country," Harry said, "Muggles don't know about them."

"Muggles?"

"Non-Magical People."

"Aliens, Wizards, Super, Soldiers," Fury muttered, "It's all too much at once."

"When they checked him…it said Race Unknown…you don't think they used Alien Blood, right?"

"Seeing these Kree and their natural Super Strength? I wouldn't be surprised if they did do that shit. Someone went through a lot of trouble."

"Super Solider and Magic…almost doesn't sound fair," Maria whispered.

"He lost his family! His village! His mother! And everyone he knew for that! I know he'd rather not have all that if he could have them back!" Harry raised his voice, getting annoyed as he heard them talk.

Fury looked back, seeing his gasp for breath, "Right…sorry. Wait…if magic is real, then that scar…? Your mom?"

"Yeah."

"Sorry, kid," Fury apologised, tightening his grip on the gun when there was a flash of light, and a woman appeared in front of them.

"Carol!"

Carol breathed in, "You are safe. Where is that guy?"

"Inside," Fury pointed at the door, and Carol nodded, walking over to the door, which opened before she could break it down, and her eyes landed on Cloud, "You are ok?"

"Yeah. Come in," Cloud said, and they entered, one after the other.

They were expecting chaos and destruction, but when they entered, they only found Kree's on one side and their guns on one side as if someone had neatly placed them there.

"They are?" Carol wondered.

"Breathing."

She frowned, "And you are leaving them be? What if they attack?"

"Yeah. They won't. They can't. I found a way around that," Cloud scratched his head. He didn't want to tell them that he had forgotten he could seal space.

He instead changed the topic, asking her, "Forget that. You can use these systems, right? How do we make sure they get safely back to Earth?"

"I think…the Question you should be asking is…how will you get safely back to Earth."

Cloud followed the direction Fury was pointing and looked out in space, seeing numerous ships arrive, and he muttered, "Let me guess. Ronan the Accuser."

Cloud closed his eyes when he felt Angeal's palm on his shoulder, "Ask her if she can open communication with that ship."

"Can you open a channel with that ship?" Cloud looked over his shoulder, asking Carol.

"Yeah. But that won't be of any use," Carol said, tapping away on the ship's systems, "I'll start the weapon systems, but I alone can't do it."

"Leave that to me," Cloud looked at the pendant, "Connect me to them."

"Connected."

"Is this Ronan the Accuser?"

"Where is Yan-Rogg? The Commander of Starforce?"

"Dunno. Dead? Anyway. What do you want?"

There was silence on the other side, "Who are you?"

"Cloud. Cloud Strife."

Again, the silence lasted a little longer, "Am I supposed to know that name?"

"You are supposed to remember that name."

"Cloud…Strife. Did you take out the Starforce?"

"No. They invited me for dinner."

Monica burst out in a giggle that she had been trying to hold back. Her mother gave her a look, and she covered her mouth.

"Humor. Do you think humour can save you? We are of the Noble Kree Race! We will not be disrespected! Now you will see the consequence of your disrespect!"

The communications got cut off, and Fury raised his hand, throwing them down, "Aw! Shunks. When you talked about communicating, I thought you planned to negotiate! Not annoy him!"

"I did negotiate."

"Look, I know no one taught you, but that is not how you negotiate!"

"I told them my demands."

Fury closed his eyes, "That's…not…negotiating!"

Cloud shrugged, "Don't panic…and watch."

"Watch what? They are firing ballistic missiles," Carol Danvers said, "I need to get out there."

She turned to leave when he stopped her, "Stop. And Watch."

He opened the seal on the pendant and took it in his hands, watching the missiles shoot down from the ship.

[Do not use that. You will cause the Kree to become obsessed with the stone's powers. The power to control time.]

'You couldn't have told me that before?' Cloud closed his eyes, feeling the energy of the stone course through his body, 'Ok. I won't.'

He turned his Buster Sword Keyblade into its original form, that of the black-bladed key with two holes for materia. He pointed them towards the missiles, "SECTUMSEMPRA!!"

They watched as a large cut appeared in the space, with a greenish glow, and the missiles were cut apart and destroyed as they went off.

"That magic…."

"It was the energy of the stone," Cloud said and walked over to clear space, summoning Fenrir, which appeared in front of him. He opened the compartment, took out a red orb, and walked back to the others, "Connect me to him again."

"You don't think he'd stop now, do you?" Carol connected, "This is the last time. As a thank you for saving Wendy. After this, I am doing this my way."

"Ok," Cloud waited, and the connection didn't go through. Instead, the missiles came out from the ships, all three.

He sighed, "I didn't want to use this."

"That orb? What is it?"

"It's a summoning stone."

"Ok. I'll bite," Fury raised his eyebrows, "What does it summon?"

Cloud pointed his hand forward, and a purple magic circle appeared in the space outside, "Other World Entity—Bahamut."

Even in space, a roar resounded through space, and the magic circle expanded as a being came out of it, rotating, and it opened its wings, roaring again, shaking the whole space and destroying the missiles that Kree fired.

"I have ordered it to stop all attacks, so do me a favour…take her away," Cloud shot a look at Monica, "I can't keep going with my hands tied behind my back."

"Will do," Maria turned, stopping, looking at him, "Thank you."

Monica followed after her mother, stopping, and she looked back, "Carol, Cloud…Harry. Defeat them!"

"You bet," Carol smiled, and Harry scratched his cheek, embarrassment over even being included. But he nervously smiled, nodding.

"Harry, you too."

"No! I'll stay!"

"Wait, you are sending away…does that mean you plan to leave after this?"

"Yeah. I plan on going to Hala."

"I am coming with you," Fury narrowed his eyes, "Looking at other civilisations? Especially this Kree? There is no better time to collect information. So I am coming."

"I can't go back now! You said you were going to teach me! I am coming too!"

"I have unfinished business out there. You know," Carol Danvers shrugged.

Cloud rubbed his head, "Does anyone else has anything to say?"

"Yes. Mr Strife. Can I have Eye of Agamotto back? Did you hear me when I said it's Earth's Last Defense? Right."

"I know. I didn't know how to return it to you," Cloud took it out from his neck, throwing it back at her, and it stopped in the middle, floating into her palm.

"Be careful on your trip," She smiled, opening a portal as she stepped inside.

Fury stared at the place where she disappeared, flabbergasted, "Wizard?"

"Sorcerer," Cloud shrugged.
