Chapter 8: Initiative
"Have you heard of the Ultimates Imitative?", was all Fury decided on saying after the experience.
"You wouldn't belief me even if I would tell you everything but yes, yes I have and I'm in."
All Fury could do was accept she didn't know what Noel knew, but she had to accept what other choice exists?
"Anyway so when will you start making your way back, to your headquarters?"
Now with the situation "under control" she had to make sure the free world stays protected, besides that there were innovations and negotiations to be done, the new headquarters weren't yet finished and maintaining a Helicarrier as a main base was a drain on all resources.
"Take one of my bodies with you, others will later join you. Now let's get you ready did, you have something to eat yet?"
She didn't but wasn't going to say something instead just dressing herself, one Noel watched and dressed himself in robes and the other explored a women called Red, something about her body reminded herself about Red Skull, and she made the connections a bit shocked but nothing other reality warpers aren't capable off just one more to deal with.
Exploring the vastness of his mind Noel found the cafeteria and made an offer "If you want to meet up with the rest of your crew they should be at the cafeteria, so lets get you some grub? No?"
"Sure, fine, whatever." flippant and slightly delighted about familiar elements in her life, she had to recollect the squad. She wasn't a blushing young innocent virgin, more of a trained killer, now training to find out how to classify whatever Noel was and wanted.
Both dressed now, left the others behind and wandered the compound, on the way to the cafeteria Fury had to accept at seeing the ever changing scenery, that going against Noel would be terrible, several larger halls have being made in the white hell that was outside, and ominous light flickered inside.
There were numerous circles carved everywhere, on the ceiling on the grounds, the walls were just covered in them.
"Just a precaution, after the latest intrusions.", he was embarrassed about how easy it was to infiltrate and attack him, so he was going to do what all wizards eventually do build a dungeon and a wizard tower on top.
He wasn't spoked at all, totally chill, really not like the devil wasn't real and could have claimed his soul or some other god, and it could have been game over, or worse eternal enslavement their already exist 40 million slaves and more, no need for him to be added there for all eternity.
The only really logical conclusion was to act like a Roman and do an attack prematurely before he can be subjugated, several A.I.M scientist were back on their feet by this point of time and are working on recreating parts of the super robots, just for safety an invasion of hell is planned as well as a purge of most alien invaders.
They caused World War 2 in this universe and most likely were back for a second round of attempted world dominations this time with their main forces.
A quick spell filled his mind with most of the relevant info about this world, and suddenly he had to wonder that if captain America was a women, then how was she also fighting on the frontlines, or was she for the entire pregnancy not present because if so how did she divert the Bombs, if Red was born after, there was a lot of reality warping at work here and the scarlet witch was a women, which shouldn't be the case. She or he should be in an incestuous relationship with their sibling, but she is a very powerful reality warper.
Some powerful quackery was at work here.
"Anyway anything specific a lady of your standing would like to have provided just for you?"
"No I will just take what is given and eat with my crew."
In the cafeteria clones were just spawning in whatever food anybody wanted, considering their magical reserves and the fact if not consumed it would just disappear, even if the quantities produced were just absurdly huge.
Finding all here friends a wave of relief washed over Nickole, as on first glance all here friends had nothing but smiling faces them, and they were genuinely happy maybe because they just got laid their possibly life threatening or country destroying missions turned out not to be so dangerous to them and they just got boyfriends maybe, they prefer to think that way.
Plans had to be adjusted, more bodies more minds, more power quicker, the established reality warpers have to be taken of the board before the even know what happened. Scarlet witch has a speedster as a bodyguard and a mother that can just sterilize this planet. The devil most likely in hell and staying there, then Legion or rather Proteus whatever her name is should be high on drugs in hospital room and besides those there is the watchers chosen and that was it if nobody is forgotten, no the magical inclined, there is Doctor Strange's daughter, Dormammu and Loki.
Loki oh shit!
The gods, any other pantheons here in this world not that I know of but if the Aesir are real so might be the others.
Panic the mere thought of panic, send shivers through the hive sending most into overdrive, in a bad way everybody wanted to do more, some didn't know or want to know why they felt like that.
One thing after another, first greater Teleportation target Xavier Davina, or is it Davida, Noel didn't quite know what to do with the information his intellect was feeding him.
Time to obtain/ enlist reality warper number one.
Standing in a hospital next to a young unconscious woman drugged to into unconsciousness for god knows how long already. Safety first, Charm then Geas then Blood Oath, to make her immortal for good measures, now Modify Memories otherwise she would immediately go and attack her mother in a murderous rage while going on a body snatching spree and committing enormous amounts of chaos all around.
Next up disconnecting her from all her IVs putting a greater healing spell with 24 hour continuity on her. Just so that she doesn't burn through her own body, if that even is her original.
As Noel was making sure the memories where properly suppressed, a hand appears grabbing his own.
Apparently Snow White recovered already.
"Good Morning, sleepy head?", was all Noel could say as the very person holding him started morphing.
Her hair and body grew, her face practically split open into a viscous grin, matter around her changed and she was clothed anew in sportswear. The hand railing for patients melted and morphed till it adored her ears, finally sitting up and looking at her saviour? She instinctively knew something was wrong with the entire situation and it wasn't she that smelled fishy here.
Noel looked her into her eyes and screamed in inner panic as did hundreds of minds that were watching the situations, all uniform that this was a bad idea all inherently cowards, by design of the system, you gain some you lose some. Incapable of anything besides watching as within seconds her body stated to emit heat, before slowly setting itself on fire.
His mind shouldn't be an open gate way and she should not be capable of possessing him thanks to the defensive spells and high stat, but in front of any reality warper nothing is certain not even their power set as they could just switch it out.
Davina observed, the pain nothing special, nothing she hasn't endured before, she knew their where things she should do, plans she had in stock and most important of all sports games to watch, but there was something besides that, something far more important it was familiar but she couldn't put her mind to what it was.
That certainly was pretty buy who awakened her maybe her prince charming, oh for how long she has slept, but why, who put her to sleep. A contingency activated, as Noel watched with a women be consumed by an inferno taking parts of the room with her, she wasn't even suppressing it, no her skin was already burnt black, and parts of her extremity are flacking off, nothing she could care about.
Sooner than the heat can consume him, he shakes himself, free part of him on fire nonetheless, nothing a minor conjuration of water cannot fix and a healing spell after. Would he have the time or rather would she?
Just before she would have forced his mind to part and revealed his every secret, she had to hide the heat rising to her checks as she admires his beauty, registering what is going on she attempts again and finds herself drawn to his well chiselled chin, his tall and alluring frame, grasping parts of the severity of how compromised her mind is, and who was the actor of such deceit, she has to admire his intellect. All those thoughts fill her mind in their own unnaturally, and were the only thing for the time stopping her from raising hell.
Before her body itself could be consumed entirely, she thinks and most walls simply cease to exist in her hospital room, a nurse spotted, takeover started.
In heartbeats she had assessed the situation and entered a new host, leaving her old empty burning husk behind, nonetheless the aftereffect followed.
"Come here.", was all Noel said quite softly at that, and she came.
Earlier than she can catch herself, she finds herself kneeling in front of him, without rhyme or reason, she knew oh and how she knew, but every cohesive thought she could muster or use to have him cease to be failed, yet maybe she didn't want to destroy something so precious, all the same her body burned once more.
A conundrum, what else is a being, who till she matures has to go through so many body or perhaps just some more adjusted ones. Would Noel allow it to happen that in his world one set for conquest and inevitable dominations body snatchers go wild and claim innocent lives of course not, he could just heal them, produce, or revive them.
Yes moral was leaving his every fibber with every new possibility he discovered of what he could achieve by genociding the worm population of about one continent, now what about same number of demons.
Kneeling while fire consumed here made her want to remodel and restructure her mind form brain too the soul, but she always in one way or the other in spite of all her attempts still found herself incapable no inconceivable of that. That alone pained her and whatever was buried in her mind wasn't revealing itself either, but with such a hunk in front of her did she really have to think so hard.
Yes, yes she had she was all thought, her power was not limited a stupid move, a happy accident, or still a deliberate choice she didn't know, and that consumed her more than the flames eating at her body, she was at someone's mercy.
A perfect example of why you don't want to be caught with your pants down or being low levelled, you were fucked and just lost all your eternal soul and its freedom for not being capable of paying attention.
The mad mage knew that before long most conceptual beings would give him a reality check if he didn't outstrip them in power, in the shortest amount of time, meaning either more totally willing recruits or genocide on levels that would make torching all inhabitants on entire worlds pale in comparison.
Thankfully immortal creatures exist and they can be killed over and over again.
The new recruit snatched a new body once more hoping it would achieve anything, but no.
"So do you want to fix the problem with your,… hmm rather wasteful spending of your vessels, or would you prefer to continue suffering!", Noel tried to appear calm and collected on the outside while dozen minds were still melting down about how this would go with others off similar power levels.
He offered an open hand, and a burning one took it, and he cast a long living healing spell, meant to keep her flesh living long enough for her to adjust and actually hone her skills, considering, she mastered that in days, meaning Doctor Xaviar kept her daughter drugged and unconscious for almost a decade if we go by the fact that mutations awaken in one's team, and she must have been quick on getting her in a near permanent coma.
Anyway time to invade hell.
