Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 23: As long as Mazefak attacks, everything will be fine. Part 2
"This kind of worldwide blackout was clearly planned in advance. I guess it may be related to the energy modules that Stark Industries has been transforming all over the world in recent years.
Maybe these bastards have secretly taken control of my competitor's company, and their stock price will definitely plummet.
It might be a good choice to buy at the bottom or complete a hostile takeover now..."
Zhang Parker's voice rang out from the hand-cranked global quantum communicator in front of Mason, with an urgent expectation to find the telephone pole and the ethics of an excellent capitalist.
But Mason was not asking for investment advice, so he coughed and reminded Mr. Zhang not to think about his unfortunate business layout at this time.
If you can't get over this hurdle, your dream of building a business empire will be gone with the wind.
Mr. Zhang reacted and coughed awkwardly before he hurriedly reported:
"Wakanda's energy is independent of the world's power grid, so there is no impact here. In addition, Wakanda's military satellites have sent back images from near Earth orbit. A large fleet of different styles and shapes is approaching the Earth. It looks aggressive. That should be the Skrulls' 'Made in Various Countries' fleet.
Honestly, just looking at the patchwork of this fleet, you can tell that they have wreaked havoc on many worlds."
"What about Wakanda's military strength?"
He asked in the communication:
"Didn't the Leopard Prince who was appointed as regent plan to do anything?"
"I just met Ms. Okoye. The Black Panther general said that they must prioritize the security of Wakanda's borders, and that mobilizing troops requires the order of His Majesty the Black Panther."
Mr. Zhang lowered his voice and answered:
“This means that for the time being, don’t even think about letting them go abroad to fight. But thanks to the warning we brought, they completed their defense in advance, and this side looks impregnable.
Or you guys withdraw?"
"Sweetheart! Something is falling from the sky!"
Harley, who had been looking up at the stars, suddenly screamed.
Mason looked up and saw something as bright as a meteor falling from the dark sky, with a brilliant flame from the friction with the atmosphere as it fell at high speed. When it got close to the ground, it was not difficult to find that it was a Skrull troop transport ship.
The place where it crashed was just outside New York City. If Mason's spatial perception was correct, the spaceship was heading straight for the Triskelion headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Mazefak man in this world... is so reckless!
“I won’t be going there for now. Nick Fury always has to make his heroic appearance on time, and the first battle against the Skrull invaders will also begin here.
They have headed straight for SHIELD headquarters.
To put it in a positive way, this is called revenge, but to put it in a low EQ way, this is just sending someone to die.”
Mason said to Mr. Zhang:
"Just wait patiently in Wakanda for us to withdraw. By the way, check the intruders strictly. Parker, there must be high-level Skrull spies in the Wakanda court who have not been exposed."
"Got it. Be careful."
Zhang Parker cut off the call, and Mason heard a loud noise as he put down the phone.
Then, a towering flame lit up in the darkness, and the Skrulls' spaceship crashed into the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, turning it into the most dazzling guiding light in the night.
Mason sighed and looked back. With Nightcrawler's repeated and rapid jumps, all the X-Men from the academy who could fight had been teleported there.
They are led by veteran X-Men including Logan, Hank, Cyclops, Jean and Storm. Agent Brand is also among them. Because of her excellent service record, she is temporarily appointed as the commander of the new recruits.
A group of young people led by Iceman are officially wearing X-Men uniforms for the first time. They are trying hard to appear reliable, but their eyes are either excited or worried, which makes people doubt their real fighting ability.
“We brought this for you.”
Cyclops, the current leader of the mutants, stepped forward and handed Mason a set of folded special material battle suits. He said:
"You are one of us, and I invite you to fight alongside us as an X-Men in this battle, Mason."
“That really touched me.”
Mason looked at the black tights that were brought to him.
He did not refuse. He put his hand on the suit and put it on by reorganizing the water molecules. The big X logo on his chest and back made him look no different from other X-Men.
"Click"
Harley held up her camera and captured this scene.
She felt that this scene meant a lot to the little sweetheart.
"Ciri, take us to where the spaceship crashed."
Mason turned around and said to his "new assistant" who had put on his mask again:
"It's time to join up with Lu Dan and the others. Only by uniting our forces can we break through the iron wall of defense seized by the Skrulls in a short period of time."
"The SHIELD helicarrier has taken off! Mason, those green bastards are coming this way."
Zha Kang, who was suspended in the air with a magic levitation cloak, reported:
"It seems that the X-Men's transfer was captured."
"No need to be polite to them this time."
Standing in front of the silver rift opened by Ciri, Mason said without turning his head:
"That ship is yours, John. Show them some color."
"Hey"
Zha Kang laughed and threw out the black voodoo statue. The zombie dragon Norber, who had not appeared for a long time, carried him into the sky. Then, a faint blue fire ignited the night sky, mixed with the green light of the Avada Kedavra curse, which looked quite gorgeous.
The X-Men on the ground quickly passed through the portal opened by Ciri and landed at the ruins of the Triskelion Building on the other side.
The alien spacecraft had "hard landed" with most of its head smashed into the ground, and the buildings on the ground were badly damaged . It was like a disaster scene of a magnitude 10 earthquake.
The Iceman, who was well prepared, gathered ice when he jumped out and cooperated with the Storm Girl next to him to create a sudden downpour of wind and rain that swept away everything. With the help of the Water Man... uh, no, Lord Mason who just decided to change his nickname to "Water-kun", the place was instantly covered with heavy rain that quickly extinguished the burning flames.
The Skrull transport ship that had been broken into three sections looked like a stranded giant beast, its outer armor covered with scars and penetration marks from attacks, and it was obvious that it had barely survived the attack of the Skrull fleet.
The huge impact caused the hatch on the lower deck of the troop transport to be unable to open normally. When Mason and others rushed over in the rain, they could hear the clanging sounds coming from inside from a long distance away.
"Bang"
Cyclops used his ruby blast to quickly cut through the outer armor and create a triangular entrance and exit. Although it was very similar to Superman's heat ray in form, his "eye attack" was obviously more powerful. Judging from the force of the smooth cutting with sparks flying everywhere, he must be a good hand at using it as a humanoid laser cutter.
"Mazerfak!"
A loud and vigorous shout soon came out from the triangular gap, and then Lu Dan rushed out holding an alien gun as tall as him.
He looked at the vast water around him and shouted:
"I fought my way in and out of the alien bastard's spaceship, rescued the rookie heroes, and dodged the firepower of an entire fleet before finally returning to Earth to vent my anger...
If this person were to fall to death, it would be a cause for great laughter.”
"You can still curse, it doesn't seem like a big problem."
Mason whispered to Ciri, who was staring at the boiled egg with a frown beside him:
"This braised egg is so lame, compared to Old A, he's like a bare-bones version of Mazefake, but I've tried it before, and he does have the same spy mindset as Old A.
He can help us.”
"I'm more worried that he will be killed by Old A, or worse, become involved with him."
Ciri pouted and replied.
As the two watched, a large number of replaced heroes used their hands and feet to climb out of the stranded spaceship. There were quite a lot of people, including Phantom Flame, Colossus, and Beichen, who had been killed by Mason in the Mutant Academy before.
In addition, there are the Fantastic Four, the Street Fighters and a large number of heroes from all over the world.
Based on a preliminary estimate of this scale, at least two-thirds of the world's famous superheroes have been replaced, and the remaining group are just third-rate heroes who are not worth mentioning.
These Skrulls are really cruel, but this is not the most terrifying thing.
After a group of heroes ran out, the last one to be sent out of the cabin was a biological capsule escorted by Agent Natasha herself. Mason stepped forward and pushed aside the stains on the hatch and saw Tony Stark frozen inside.
"Sure enough, the one in SHIELD is an imposter."
"No, he is not."
Fury explained with a sour face:
"Look closely at this Tony, Mason. He doesn't have that iconic energy reactor on his chest. We checked the time when this bio-capsule took effect. It started working eight years ago.
Tony wasn't a superhero yet.
So the one in S.H.I.E.L.D. is the real Iron Man, who lived out a period of his life that originally belonged to this playboy who had long been replaced.
If you ask me, I guess the imposter himself may not even know that he is a Skrull... You know what I mean? If you want a spy to stay hidden for a long time in the best condition, then let him not know that he is a spy.
This way there is no need for disguise, and it can be perfect enough to deceive everyone.
I suspect they have brainwashed their own people.”
“That’s even better.”
Mason complained:
"So all your action plans in the past eight years were done together with the Skrulls. No wonder SHIELD has been infiltrated into such a mess."
"boom"
A loud bang exploded in the distant night sky, and the helical mothership used by SHIELD to hunt down the X-Men exploded in the air, like a dazzling firework lighting up the night sky, and more like a signal.
Zha Kang made his first appearance in this world perfectly, and the huge explosion also ignited a fire in the eyes of the heroes who were climbing out of the spaceship.
Beneath the ruins razed by the falling offensive, muffled sounds were heard from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s famously stable underground buildings. It seemed that the Skrulls, who were caught off guard, activated some anti-intrusion equipment.
"Can you still fight?"
Mason felt that many lives were rushing towards this side in the rain, and a big battle was about to break out, so he turned around and shouted.
Few people answered.
But the heroes, whose bodies still bore traces of torture and malnutrition from long-term imprisonment, stood up one by one in silence.
They responded with action.
"You coming?"
Mason glanced at the boiled egg and made a "please" gesture, but Mazefak waved his hand modestly and said:
"You obviously have a complete plan in this matter, so come on, professionals do professional things, this is my consistent policy. So, please give the order, commander."
"Then I'll be welcome."
Mason let out a long sigh. He threw out several boxes of stimulants and healing potions, then turned around and said to the hundreds of people bustling around behind him:
"You are going to follow our young X-Men to Wakanda. I understand that you want revenge now, but this is a long-term confrontation and it will not be decided in one or two battles.
The best time for you to demonstrate your power is when the Skrull fleet approaches Earth and a large-scale invasion occurs.
Those who are in good condition stay here to stop the Skrull bastards from encircling and annihilating us!
But everyone, please remember that this is a raid, and our first goal is to eliminate the Skrull spy chief planted on Earth, Tony Stark, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who is hiding under our feet, and to destroy the supplies they prepared to support the fleet and the secret plans that will affect subsequent operations. "
"Just blow up the twenty-seventh underground base!"
Fury said with a gloomy face:
"The secret project bases are scattered all over the world, but their main control rooms are all underground in the SHIELD headquarters. Blowing up the whole place can effectively delay progress.
The rest will be dealt with one by one after we regroup in Wakanda."
"There is a self-destruct device here."
Agent Natasha says:
"I'll go start it."
"Very well, that's our plan."
Mason opened his arms and shouted:
"Now, the Guardians of the Galaxy and the veterans of the X-Men, step out and follow me. The rest of you, hold on here! Captain Carter has already contacted the Inhumans to support us, and the gates of Attilan will be opened on the battlefield soon.
That is your retreat route.
Don't worry about us going underground, we have our own way to evacuate! Now, let's start the battle!"
"Swish, swish, swish"
In an instant, many heroes with flying abilities took off from the rainstorm and rushed in all directions to stop the surrounding Skrull soldiers and the SHIELD robot army controlled by them.
The heroes on the ground also set up defenses in the ruins under the leadership of several leaders. Mason contributed his own arsenal so that they would not lack "handy weapons".
However, most of the heroes are quite weak and they probably won’t be able to hold on for long, especially after Mazefak chose the genius tactic of “center bloom”, which made it impossible for them to even break out.
Zack, who destroyed an aerospace carrier, soon came over on his own dragon and was assigned to open a portal to send the remnants of the army who had just escaped from prison back to Wakanda. Mason, Ciri and twenty fully armed raiders, led by Natasha, rushed into the military tunnel that led to the underground base.
Unexpectedly, fighting has already begun here.
Amid the gorgeous dance of magic, large numbers of Mark series robots were cut and destroyed. A group of Kamar-Taj's battle mages were rushing towards the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters under the leadership of their Supreme Sorcerer.
"What are they doing here?"
Star-Lord Black Panther in the team said in surprise :
"These mages look very angry, as if their homes were robbed ."
"Shua"
A rotating light gate opened before everyone's eyes, and Lord Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme of this world, holding a severed robot head, fell down expressionlessly.
He looked at Agent Natasha, Cyclops, and Logan in the team. After confirming that these people were "genuine", he whispered:
"The Skrulls disguised themselves as my assistant, Lao Wang, and stole the Time Stone from the Holy Land..."
"boom"
Mason, who was at the back of the crowd, suddenly raised the muzzle of the electromagnetic gun in his hand, pulled the trigger, and a green arc of light blasted out from the muzzle of the "disposable" BFG9000, enveloping the Sorcerer Supreme who was caught off guard in a devastating beam of light, and by the way, instantly and neatly knocked down all the guys blocking the way and the closed door in the passage in front of him.
It is conservatively estimated that this attack destroyed at least one hundred Mark Armors and seven blocked all-steel gates, and the road leading to the underground base is now unobstructed.
Mason threw the broken and smoking electromagnetic gun on the ground with an expressionless face , and casually took out a new Falkner from his bag and loaded it.
He looked at the corpse of the "Supreme Sorcerer" in front of him, with most of his body melted and only a burnt head left. The guy's burnt skeleton clearly did not look like an Earthling.
"How do you know it's a Skrull? Doctor Strange wasn't on that ship."
The Black Widow next to him asked in astonishment, and Mason curled his lips and said:
"I knew it before, and even if I didn't know, a Supreme Sorcerer who lost the Time Stone in such a bad situation really deserves to die, doesn't he?"
