(DAY 10: LUZHI, JIANGSU PROVINCE, CHINA, 7:00 AM)


The historic old Chinese structures of this town had drastically changed into colossal cybernetic pillars and structures created by a large group of supposedly extraterrestrial cybernetic units after the major earthquake shook the area. The waterways were blocked by a large barrier where some of the parts of the town were flooded. There were no signs of any living residents which the robots had consumed. The machines roamed around the town, patrolling the area with their perfect formations. On the nearby expressway, a group of Behni Dark troopers and Cabal Sand Eaters brought their equipment to absorb Gravitonium under the ground. They ambushed the robots and had neutralized all of them, allowing the Cabal and Behni to secure the Gravitonium rich area.

" So, this must be the Gravitonium? " the top hat named Bakudan cackled madly with a hint of curiosity.

" Yes, " The Fulminator nodded and calmly spoke. " Our masters ordered them to take the element for weaponry and fuel for the ships.. "

" I see, " Chronostatis grinned. " So it manipulates gravity, am I right? "

" Indeed, it is rather obvious don't you think? " she replied and turned to the working group of machines. " Now, we have to keep an eye out for more of these robots. "

From the town's outskirts, a young woman with blue markings on her skin and wearing a white and blue armor reached the partially terraformed environment. Walking on the streets, she saw more Cabal gathering around the street. She peeked at the huge pillar where she could hide. Hearing sounds from them, she widened her eyes at the conversation they spoke in, only able to translate something about recreating the world after it got destroyed. Clenching her fists, the woman began to crush objects without holding anything. Some of the cybernetic pillars fell as the Cabal turned to her. Fulminator and her two companions looked at the Chinese woman.

" Who the heck?! " Chronostatis startled and attempted to alter the running seconds.

" With power like that, I say we have an Inhuman on our hands, " Fulminator calmly answered.

" An Inhuman then, " Bakudan flipped the coin which he took it from his pocket. " So, she started the trouble? "

" Let the Legionaries handle her for now. "

The Chinese Inhuman quickly turned around as the army of Sand Eaters surrounded her. She raised her hands forward and exhibited an extreme air pressure to crush the armor of the Cabal.

" GET HER!! " the Fulminator ordered. All the Sand Eaters opened fire at once. She quickly averted their strikes and crushed them using enough air pressure to warp metal. The Fulminator and here lackies simply watched from a far.

" Should we use the gravitonium sample to pull and suck her away? " the top hat man cackled..

" No, this person is an too powerful an Inhuman, " the armored woman asked. " Let the Sand Eaters deal with her. Emperor Calus ordered us not to waste the element. "

" Yeah, let's see how she fails this time, " the cloaked young man answered. Suddenly, a group of Behni Dark troopers and Cabal Sand Eaters hindered her way to escape.

One of the Cabal soldiers shouted in it's language to surrender, snatching her attention.

" You people let these Robots change everything! " the dark-haired Inhuman indignantly answered. " Now it's time for your lives to take a similar turn! "

" What?! That's absurd! " the red-skinned foot soldier loudly laughed. The woman grimly stared at the enemies and clenched her fists. Most of the Behni and Cabal forces felt being pushed and crushed as they sensed their blood flow decreasing. All of them passed out and met their demise.

" Ay Blyat." Chronostatis anxiously muttered when he saw the woman's ability.

" Eh heh heh... This is no longer a funny joke " Bakudan's regular insane voice shook with a drop of fear.

" We need to have the remaining troops secure the element first, " Fulminator reminded to her companions. " Let the surviving ones deal with her. "

Then another wave of Cabal from the elite Blind Legion descended upon her and opened fire at the Inhuman using a variety of Cabal weaponry. She immediately dodged their strikes as she used her air pressure semblance and delivered fatal blows to every single on of them.

" So, you're the one interfering with the bosom interest of our Emperor " the Fulminator looked to the woman and even approached her.

" Who are you? " the female Inhuman asked in a growl.

" I am only one of the most loyal servants of the great Emperor. I am the Fulminator, the greatest confidante of Emperor Calus. "

" The name's Xiaoyi Chen or Iso, " she indignantly said. " You'll never make it to invade and terraform another city! "

" Of, this wasn't our doing. However," the Fulminator then reached his hand to the sky and opened his hand. Then all of a sudden, pure light formed in his hand and began to take shape of a sword. It was a very unique sword with a very regal design. The Fulminator took an offensive sword stance and stared at Xiaoyi. "Your death will be my doing."


( JING'AN DISTRICT, SHANGHAI, CHINA, 8:00 AM)


" Agent B, I'm sorry that Flowerhorn fish is not for you, " the Kree-Chinese scientist said as the Cat-Faunus MIB turned to him and sighed. " It's a very aggressive subspecies, it can attack smaller fish and kill them within seconds. "


" Oh okay, sir..." she nervously smiled. " I was just looking at it. "


" You can have a tuna sandwich for breakfast which Thor has prepared for you as a matter of fact. He's waiting for you in the dining room."

" Right, I'll be seeing him there, " she blushed and looked at the Asgardian prince smiling and waving at her.


" I'll just have to check my..." Tengfei paused and saw the tremors.


" What's going on? " May asked.


" Is that from our enemies? " Zavala added.


" It's emanating from the basement, " Tengfei answered.


" Are those your monoliths, Teng? Because they're making shakes harder than any speakers I ever blasted." Cayde raised his tone.


" Yes, I think more people are coming again! " the Kree-Chinese man rushed to the basement when he looked at the people coming to the stairs. A hooded blue-skinned man, an armored being, a woman in magenta poncho, and another woman with blonde hair wearing a grey shirt startled the guests.


" Tengfei, we could have used the ships to fly and come over to your house, " the blonde lady shrugged. " Where in the universe did you get those weird looking boulders? "


" Who the hell are these guys? " Thor stood up from his seat as he got surprised.


" They're my other friends, Thor, " Tengfei nervously smiled and answered.


" I can't believe what I'm seeing! Is this the Mirror Earth? " An armored man startled as his head went sideways.


" You're in China, " May sternly replied.


" China? Tengfei, did your rocks just bring us back to a lost country?"


" Yes, Lord Shaxx, " the Kree-Chinese man respectfully bowed. "At least, I believed China was lost in your world wasn't it.


" You have come to join us then? " Ikora asked.


" Well, the Kree has brought us here with his Monolith and this engram, " a hooded Awoken man calmly spoke and held an object. He turned to the others. " Master Rahool is my name. I'm a Cryptarch, but I don't think I have time to explain that."


" So that object contains some information? " B asked.


" Yes, it's the fate of the Mirror Earth which Tengfei and I had decrypted. " Rahool answered.


" I helped Rahool for that one. "


" I understand, " Zavala nodded.


" Affirmative, " a woman's voice called their attention as the others looked at her. She had circular dots on her face. " Suraya Hawthorne's the name, and then there's my pet Louis "


" Hawthorne? " Cayde raised his voice to his surprise. " Looks like, the whole gang's here! "

" I used the Monolith earlier, " Tengfei admitted. " Before preparing breakfast, I asked them to join us. "


" So, your friends are here to support us? " Chris asked as he placed his helmet on the side table.


" Yes. "


" That's what I have been looking for. "


" More heads are better than a few! " KH beamed. " Cool! "


" Interesting, " VH blandly nodded. " Are they gonna fight these invaders for real? "


" Cabal are just dominoes to knock down one by one. " Hawthorne calmly replied. " We understood what Tengfei has mentioned to us and of course I had to join in."


" You have come to the right place. I'm Melinda May of SHIELD, " the Chinese woman said. " The threat of Alien Invasion has been a problem to all of us. Commander Zavala and Wang Tengfei have helped us in this mission so far. I'll be assigning you to your positions soon. "


" Agent May and I have prepared for your battle positions around Shanghai with her Response Team, " the Vanguard Commander added. " Aside from the assault and defense, we will also conduct search and rescue activities. Some of you will remain at Tengfei's house as our base of operations."


" That means Amanda and Rahool will do the monitoring duty?" Tengfei added.


" Of course. "


" You two will stay in the Zephyr, " May turned to the blonde woman and the hooded Awoken.


" Well, I have to check out what's in there, " Amanda smiled and nodded, fidgeting with a wrench she held in her hand.


" Definitely, I have to obtain more data from this timeline. " Rahool added.


" Dr. P would like to meet that guy, " B said to the Asgardian prince.


" I know this man Rahool will be a great help to us. " Thor replied to his Faunus girlfriend.


" Guys, it looks like we have a problem, " the white haired Remnite MIB called their attention. " Agent E sent us a message. The Invaders are rapidly approaching to Shanghai. "


" Wait, what? " Cayde sat up startled. " The party guests arrived? I didn't even get the chips. "


" The Darkness might as well come right in and take the place if that's all we've got." Shaxx said and placed his hands on his back. " Zavala, are you sure these wimps can do this? I bet they couldn't even handle the Crucible! "


" We have to be prepared as well, " Zavala replied. "And do not worry Shaxx, I can speak for their prowess in battle."


" So, who are they? " the spartan asked.


" The Behni, Cabal... " KH spoke in observation as she saw the images. " No, it can't be! "


" What are they doing? " Ikora raised a question.

" They have been looting Gravitonium! "


" You want to take on the Cabal? You've got to train, or they'll stomp you flat." Shaxx boldly scoffed.


" Well, we fought them in seven days, " the blonde mutant MIB answered. " They're after us including those red skin giants. That's why we need more help. "


" I see. That makes sense. "


" Shall we go now? " Chris shrugged while he was giving them a suggestive look.


" Everyone, let's proceed. " May called the others' attention as they left the Kree man's house. Master Rahool and Amanda went to the large airfleet. A short-haired woman appeared to them as they saw her.


" So, you must be from SHIELD? " Rahool curiously spoke. " Agent May assigned us to observe the city. "


" Yes, I'm Agent Piper. You guys are gonna stay here for a light duty." she replied


" I'm Rahool the Cryptarch, " the blue skin man introduced. " This is Amanda Holliday, she's a shipwright from our dimension. "


" Nice to meet you, Pipes. " the blonde woman greeted.


" Same here, " she smiled. " Come inside, you'll be helping me around while the other agents are on field. Also, I prefer you call me Piper."


" Such obsolete technology they have, " he looked around in the interior. " How did they preserve this thing? "


" Yeah, I need to figure out how it works, " Amanda replied as she inspected the cockpit. " This looks good! "


" Thanks! And I'm going to need to ask you about what you meant by obsolete."


(PUDONG NEW AREA, SHANGHAI, 9:20 am)


The ruined buildings were seen as the whole view of the Huangpu River and Eastern Chinese Sea. The residents of Shanghai remained in hiding indoors and a large evacuation area was underway on the city outskirts. On the other side of this famous city, a group of robots. Now, they were discovered as the Vex. They had started transforming the area into a suitable place for them. A man named Peter Quill and his female alien partner patrolled around the streets which they kept monitoring.


" Gamora, you see any freaks around? " he asked.


" Lots of shadows from them to say the least. " the green skinned woman replied as she saw the machines walking around.


" Okay, okay. It's just we've been dealing with big reds, space rhinos, and now more of these walking scrap heaps! "


Moments later, they saw someone on top of one of the ruined buildings. He had some demonic wings which he had used to ascend into the sky. His wings had a demonic look to them and was showing signs of infused fire when he was coming down. Gamora and Quill were surprised to see him now standing on the street.


" Aliens... Red guys, Rhinos. " the winged male being mumbled. " Now robots..."


" Wait, who are you dude? " the red-head asked in disbelief.

" How did you get here? " Gamora added as she crossed her arms and gave him a deadly glare.


" A human and an alien. It's been so long since I've seen any alien." he slightly smiled. " My name is Xenon, it is a pleasure to meet you both."


" The name's Gamora, and we're not with those savages" she answered.


" I'm Star Lord, but you probably already knew that. " the man gave the demon a friendly grin as he took his earphones and a walkman. " Just hanging around and kicking butt to awesome music." Then, he danced and sang, " Everybody wants Kung Fu Fighting! "


" Peter, you're getting awkward, " his alien girlfriend stared at him and sighed." Seriously, we have work to do. What if those machines find us, here? "

" Hey, I'm just lightening up the mood even if it is rather bleak! "


" Peter, you're embarrassing me..."


" Alright, alright. I'm sorry! "


" Well, what're you doing here? " Xenon asked.

" We're patrolling and hunting for more tyrants and savages here on Earth, " Gamora said.


" Yeah... Funny enough Gamora's dad is- "


" Shush! " she cut him off.


" Interesting. I'll accompany you for now."


" Yeah, feel free. " Quill nodded.


" Well, we'll be dealing with more people, believe me. " Gamora added.


" Yeah, that lady from SHIELD asked us to keep monitoring the city and remind the other guys. "


" What's SHIELD? I haven't visited the human world for a while." the demon curiously asked. Suddenly, a hooded man with a blue suit walked appeared along with his wife.


" Yeah, that's Strategic Homeland Intervention Espionage Logistic Division." he said. " I work there with my friends and my wife."


" Yo, Armando, you're here! " Quill happily beamed.


" Yeah, Agents E and May ask us to check around for more goons on the streets. " Armanhammer said. " Better watch out for those robots, they build things and take everything. I saw them terraforming tall pillars replacing those skyscrapers. "


" Damn, that's awful. "


" Yeah..."


" So, is this the new guy? " Hazle asked and noticed the demon stood beside the couple.


" Yes. " the alien nodded. Xenon's right hand sparked slightly, and his right eye was yellow, glowing. The Vex turned around as they sensed a bright energy on the street.


" Hey, cut it out! " Quill warned the male demon as he lowered his voice. " Those machines might notice us. We're trying to keep ourselves on the down-low for a while. "

" Sorry..." Xenon bowed his head as he felt ashamed.


" Oh, I see! " Hazle nodded.


" You guys should be careful. More monsters might be along the way. They almost attacked the Kree guy last night. " Armanhammer warned. " May and the others have guarded him throughout the evening. "

" A Kree? "


" Living in China? "


" Wait, is that? "


" He said he had quit working with Ronan the Accuser. " he continued. " He and his buddies from the other dimension are gonna be helping us. "


" Then we should go. " the blonde haired demon said.


" Morre, here, " Hazle took her hand-held radio


" Hazle, this is May. " a woman's voice was heard. The Asgardian and the Faunus need reinforcements at the HYDRA Facility. "


" A ruined facility. " May said.

" I shall kill HYRDA soldiers then." Xenon muttered. " Where? "


" A ruined building on Fuzhou Street. "


" What? " Quill scratched his head as he was not familiar to any street names on Earth. Gamora held her forehead and bowed in shame which her boyfriend was being awkward at the moment.


" Fuzhou Street! " the three SHIELD agents replied in unison.


" Oh okay."


" Apparently, we're not dealing with HYDRA Agents. " May continued.

" I'll kill them regardless." Xenon nodded.


" They're some Zombie like beings. You need to get there right away. "


" Zombies!? No way! " Quill gulped.


" Do you know them? " Agent Armanhammer asked.


" I don't know, I only heard reports of them being some kind of aliens! "

" I don't take orders from humans but I'll follow your judgment right now." the demon said as
