Nakia opened the door of the office that (Y/N) and Everett were in.

Everett got up "What's wrong?"

"The King is dead."She answered.

Before (Y/N) and Everett could say anything , Nakia threw large cloaks to them.

"Come with me , unless you two want to join him."

Everett and (Y/N) then quickly placed on the cloaks as they walked out the room with Nakia.

★

Queen Ramonda and Shuri were now outside of the Palace , grieving of T'Challa's death.

"First Baba." Shuri started "And now my brother.Mama , we didn't even get to bury him."Shuri said , beginning to cry again.

Queen Ramonda held her daughter as she was crying too.

Ramonda then heard a sound and brought up her weapon defensively until Nakia revealed herself.

"It's me." She said.

Then Ramonda looked at Everett and (Y/N) "Nakia.Who are these men?"She said pointing her weapon at them.

"He's a friend of T'Challa's."Nakia said pointing to Everett "Him and his son saved mine and Okoye's life."She said then pointing between the both of them.

"Where's Okoye?" Queen Ramonda asked. "Okoye is not coming."Nakia replied."She and the Dora Milaje will serve the new king."

Queen Ramonda brought down her hand with the weapon slowly , in disapointment that Okoye won't be with them.

"Wait here." Nakia said walking away.

"What has happened to our Wakanda?"Ramonda asked , still in shock and disbelief.

★

Nakia managed to find a sercet way to the heart-shaped herb and was walking through a small tunnel.

She found the end of the tunnel , slightly coming out of the hole and then saw Killmonger in the heart-shaped herb with the Elders.

"The Heart-Shaped herb did that?" He asked , after drinking the heart-shaped herb to become 'the new Black Panther'.One of the Elders nodded at him.

Erik then looked around and saw more of the Herb."This all of it?" He asked.

"Yes.So when it comes time for another king , we will be ready."The elder replied.

"Another king?" Erik asked her.She looked at the side , nodding.

"Yeah , go ahead and burn all that." Erik demanded.

"My king , we cannot do that.It is our tradition..."

She was then cut off by Killmonger picking her up by the throat , chocking her.

Nakia looked at what was happening worriedly.
"When I tell you to do something , I mean that shit."The woman then nodded and he finally let go of her as she fell to the ground , gasping for air.

The other Elders watched them in horror.Erik looked up at them and shouted "Burn it all!"

Nakia then came out of the hole completly and took one of the Heart-Shaped Herb and went back into the tunnel.

The Elders then took long staff's and put fire on them as they did what Erik commanded them to do , burn't the herb.

★

"So where are we going again?" Everett asked Nakia . Nakia , Everett , (Y/N), Queen Ramonda and Shuri were now walking up a mountain that was covered in snow.

"We're taking the Heart-Shaped Herb to Jabariland."Nakia replied.

"Heart-Shaped Herb? What is that?" (Y/N) asked.

"It gives whoever takes it heightened abilities."Shuri answered to him.

(Y/N) looked at her , he wasn't expecting her to answer because of what had just took place.He also wanted to talk to her but thought it was the wrong time.

"It's what made T'Challa so strong."Nakia added.

Everyone continued walking on until Queen Ramonda stopped Nakia and pulled her to the side.

(Y/N) was now standing next to Shuri and Everett was looking around and up the mountain.
"Hey..."(Y/N) started "You feeling okay?"(Y/N) asked Shuri softly.

Shuri looked at him and sent him a small warm smile."I'm trying my best."(Y/N) smiled back at her ."I know you are." They turned away from eachothers eye contact and both had pink cheeks.

"I don't like this."Queen Ramonda said to Nakia.
"The Herb belongs to us."We may be creating a bigger monster with M'Baku."

Nakia and Queen Ramonda both looked at the entrance of M'Baku's home.

"Nakia , you should take it yourself."

"I am a spy with no army.I wouldn't stand a chance." Nakia told her.

Queen Ramonda nodded "We'll go."

Shuri then left (Y/N)'s side and went back with her mother as Nakia began to lead everyone to the entrance.

Nakia then stopped as she heard some of the Jabari men.

"Oh , shit." Everett said looking around and seeing them surrounding him , Nakia , (Y/N) , Shuri and Queen Ramonda.

"Look down . Stay calm."Nakia instructed.

They Jabari men all surrounded them.

★

Queen Ramonda , Shuri , Nakia , Everett and (Y/N) were now walking into the Jabari's throne room and saw M'Baku sitting on his throne.

The Jabari men stomped their staffs to the ground causing eveyone to jump.

M'Baku looked at everyone but then focased his eyes on Queen Ramonda.

Queen Ramonda stepped forward."My son...was murdered in ritual combat."

"Were the odds fair?" M'Baku asked her.

"Yes but..."Nakia started.

"So it was less a murder than a defeat."M'Baku continued.

"Do not rub our noses in it!" Shuri said.

"Silence!"

"I make the pronouncemnets here , girl."M'Baku said to her , (Y/N) furrowed his eyebrows and slightly squinted his eyes at M'Baku.

"Look , uh , Your Highness , the new king is a U.S..."Everett started but he was cut off by the Jabri chant.

Everett stopped , looking scared and confused.

The chat went on for a few seconds.

"You cannot talk!" M'Baku shouted to Everett.(Y/N) was really beginning to not like M'Baku at all and was tempted to say something but knew he couldn't.

"One more word , and I will feed you to my children."M'Baku threatend.

Everett gulped and Queen Ramonda slightly looked at him.

"I'm kidding we are vegetarians."M'Baku joked and began laughing

"Great Gorilla M'Baku..."Nakia said , stopping M'Baku from laughing.She knelt down and showed the herb to M'Baku.

"This is why we are here.To offer this to you.An outsider sits on our throne.Only you can help us stop him."

M'Baku then stood up.Queen Ramonda knelt down and Shuri and Everett did the same and as much as (Y/N) didn't want to , he knelt down aswell.

"Come with me."M'Baku said walking out of the room.

★

M'Baku was leading them to a new place in the Jabariland.

They all walked into the room and gasped at what they saw.

"Impossible!" Nakia said.

There , lay T'Challa in snow.Queen Ramonda , Nakia and Shuri sat next to where he lay.

"Is he breathing?"Nakia asked.

"He's in a coma.Barely clinging to life."M'Baku stated."One of our fishermen found him at the edge of the river boarder.He brought him to me."

"Why do you have him in the snow?"Shuri asked M'Baku.

"It's the only thing keeping him from joining the ancestors."

"We need to get him to my lab.I can heal him there."Shuri stated.

"Take him.He'll be dead in seconds."M'Baku simply said.

"Nakia.The Herb."Ramonda said to her.

Nakia gave the Herb to Ramonda as she was givin a bowl and a stick to make the herb into a liquid.

"I call upon the ancestors.I call upon Bast.I am here with my son , T'Challa.Heal him."Queen Ramonda said now placing the Herb into T'Challa's mouth.

"We must bury him.Cover him.Cover him!"Ramonda said as Shuri and Nakia oboyed.

" Praise the ancestors. " Nakia , Shuri and Ramonda said a couple of times.

"Wake up T'Challa.Wake up." Nakia said.

✯✯✯....

T'Challa woke up abrubtly and he was panting as he woke up.

Everett and (Y/N) looked in shock but also in happiness.

Shuri , Nakia and Ramonda looked at M'Baku and M'Baku nodded with a small smile meaning a 'Your Welcome'.

T'Challa lookes around , beginning to feel cold"Do you have a blanket?" He asked with a small smile. Shuri giggled and got him one.

(Y/N) smiled warmly at seeing Shuri happy and upbeat again and Everett smiled at the family.
