Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 5: There is an honest person among the three, but I won’t tell you who it is
At the edge of the solar system in a certain dimension, on an uninhabited planet far away from a star, Ms. Elizabeth Swann, one of the "three generals" of the K Corps' servant army, is patiently waiting for the arrival of the "guests".
Although today's meeting was of great significance to her, Ms. Elizabeth did not change out of her servant army commander's uniform. She just adorned herself with some classic accessories that she would wear as a pirate king in the pirate world.
However, in addition to the accessories with a mix-and-match style of the Age of Discovery, there is also a space travel bubble capsule that comes with the commander's uniform.
A layer of special material covers her body, allowing her to balance the internal pressure while breathing in space. There is a life-support module inside to ensure that she can survive in a crisis.
Elizabeth held a signal device in her hand.
If there is any danger, she can activate this thing and call the speedster to take her away.
But the former Pirate King believed that she would never encounter any danger today. This confidence was not without reason, but because the person she was going to meet today was of great significance to her.
"Countdown 5 minutes..."
She had tempered herself into an excellent commander She looked down at the Mason watch on her wrist. There was only a little time left before the agreed time.
If the other party doesn't come again, then I have to go back.
She took a deep breath and looked up at the no-man's sky around her. The dim stars dotted on the black screen, and it seemed full of loneliness.
Just like her mood at the moment.
You want the other person to come, but you don't want the other person to appear.
It is extremely contradictory yet logically consistent.
"Buzz"
When the countdown reached three minutes, a dim light suddenly lit up, and a circle of light appeared at the end of Elizabeth's sight. It was the sound of a wormhole opening during the plane transfer.
Then a black starship quickly emerged from it.
That thing was not graceful at all. It was filled with a dark, weird feeling of oppression. It was very much like an enlarged version of the landing ship used by the cleaners. It was modified from the plundering mothership of the Space Locust Chitauri. It reeked of cheap cannon fodder from head to toe.
Although in the eyes of the Mason Group, the cleaners who always appear as miscellaneous soldiers can no longer be considered as opponents, in the ruling system of the Council, these high-quality cannon fodders that can be consumed at any time and will not cause any adverse effects are still a very useful deterrent force.
Especially for some marginal forces that are currently ready to make moves.
The Cleaners themselves might not be powerful, but their presence near a certain Earth means that the Council is watching it, and if something goes wrong, more dangerous Conquerors will arrive in an instant.
Elizabeth stared at the ship, her finger on the activation key of the annunciator.
She was not panicking. Having seen many big scenes, she was very calm.
Ten seconds later, large numbers of small shuttles were released from the black mothership, just like a swarm of bees surrounding a nest. Amid the twinkling of dense stars, an inconspicuous shuttle quietly turned off its lights and broke away from the swarm, heading quickly towards the uninhabited planet where Elizabeth was.
It landed on the barren ground a few hundred meters away from Elizabeth with one minute left on the countdown.
As the hatch opened, a familiar figure appeared in front of the former Pirate King, making her eyes immediately red. It was her husband!
He is the father of her children, her former navigator, and the eternal home in the ocean of her soul.
But Elizabeth still did not show up.
Instead, she held the kinetic energy and beam dual-purpose commander's pistol at her waist. As long as the other party showed any hostility, a bullet would be the best farewell gift for her husband.
She played her role in a great and difficult action, and she had her own heavy mission to fulfill. In such a situation, personal emotions were no longer sufficient to be the reason and reason that drove her to act.
As the other party approached quickly, his figure became clearer in Lady Elizabeth's eyes.
Will Turner!
The man who disappeared into the waves that submerged everything with the Flying Dutchman and all the dead and the damned when the pirate world was destroyed is no longer the monster who blended in with the marine life.
On the contrary, he completely recovered his human form and even returned to his youthful and healthy physique.
He was wearing a black Cleaner Commander uniform, a black melta sword at his waist, a black helmet and a cloak that wrapped around his body.
It's filled with a Darth Vader-like sense of oppression.
If Mason were here, he would definitely complain that the first sentence they would say when they met would be the classic "I am your father".
Of course, considering their relationship, perhaps father should be changed to husband, and then Elizabeth shouted NO in a desperate tone!!!
It would have been a dramatic scene, but it didn't happen.
"Elizabeth? My love, are you here?"
Turner took off his dark helmet on his own initiative, revealing his handsome face and long golden hair. He called out to her affectionately, and Lady Elizabeth burst into tears instantly, but she only stood up after wiping away her tears.
She held the activated pistol and aimed it at her husband. The two were five meters apart, and the military uniforms on their bodies had opposite meanings, representing their current opposing camps.
"I thought you weren't coming."
Lady Elizabeth said hoarsely:
"I was just about to leave."
"There was a little problem with the plane transfer. Probably because of the interference of the Eye of Time and Space, I was five minutes late, but fortunately I still caught up."
Captain Turner showed a charming smile. He ignored the dangerous pistol in his wife's hand, strode forward and took the Pirate King into his arms while she struggled slightly.
The two of them staged an emotional outburst at their reunion on this uninhabited planet at the edge of the solar system, just as they did when they met once every ten years in their home world.
After a quick and passionate kiss, Elizabeth suddenly pushed him away and said:
"I haven't confirmed that you are sober yet! Now that you have joined the Cleaners, they will definitely make some changes to you!"
"I admit, they did a lot to me."
Turner shrugged and shook his head.
“We are not entities but ghosts, so they did not use the magic-like creature transformation like ordinary cleaners, but used black magic.
But our world is gone, and the curse of the Demon Prison has allowed me to gradually regain my sanity and my original body.
Not only me, but also Barbossa and others, the pirate kings have regained their consciousness. Now we control an entire army of cleaners, working under the third sequence of Conquerors.
Of course, compared to my amazing wife, my achievements pale in comparison.
The brilliant performances of you and your K Corps in several major wars have spread throughout this small circle. I even saved the briefing of your dashing image when you commanded the assault of the helicarrier in the Gotham World War.
As for control...
No, don’t worry about that.”
Captain Turner explained seriously:
"We are the grassroots terminal of the Cleaner Corps under the Quint Club system. We are responsible for transporting some secret items for Old A that cannot be known by others.
This action was mixed in with the complex movements of the liquidators to conceal its presence.
My immediate superior is Old J, Jack's father.
In fact, he was recruited into the Quint Society to be responsible for logistics and security communications. His unique power is effective in every world with an ocean.
We Pirate Kings are also granted this privilege."
"Mason said something similar."
Lady Elizabeth was relieved. She took back her gun and said:
"The captain told me that you will have a comfortable life among the cleaners because of Old A. I thought he was trying to comfort me."
"Mason is as wise as ever."
Captain Turner sighed.
But he had no time to reminisce with his dear wife. He took out a device that stored information from the secret compartment of his belt and put it into Elizabeth's hand.
He said:
"This is all the information Mason needs, including the coordinates of several secret bases of the Weapon X project that we have inquired about, as well as the manufacturing centers of the Cleaners Corps, those worlds called 'Dark Hives'.
It also contains the coordinates of the home ports and base worlds of each conqueror sequence, as well as the large interstellar warehouses where they store important materials.
But it should be noted that not all of this information is collected by us. After all, our position in this violent system is relatively low, and we cannot collect a lot of sensitive information.
Much of the information here was delivered to me personally by His Excellency Steve Rogers, the Third Order Conqueror Commander.
Unfortunately, the coordinates of the Council's base world remain top secret.
Sir Steve was worried that Mason would launch a devastating attack there, so he didn't reveal it. After all, it is his hometown, and it is quite normal for him to be worried. "
"You said this is the information given by the Third Sequence Commander?"
Lady Elizabeth narrowed her eyes due to her professional sensitivity and said:
"Isn't that Old A's direct descendant? How could he be so kind now that the conflict between General Mason and Old A is about to erupt due to the completion of the fusion project?
Could this be a trap?"
"This is also the second thing I came here to tell you today."
Turner took a deep breath and whispered in his wife's ear:
"Commander Steve asked me to tell Mason that he is trying to convince Old A to accept the current result. He said that Mason has fulfilled his original promise. At least for him personally, he is willing to accept the loss."
"Tsk, I don't believe that."
Elizabeth sneered and said:
"Miss Hunter doesn't have a good impression of this commander, but since he said so, I will pass on his message. But Turner, what about you?
What are your choices? "
She looked her husband in the eye and asked:
"Which side are you on? Old A who gave you shelter and saved you from disaster? Or Mason who brought us a possible future full of hope?"
"What autonomy do I have?"
Captain Turner, with a mixture of laughter and tears, took his wife's shoulder and held her in his arms again.
He sniffed his wife's hair and said jokingly:
"What kind of status can a married man with children expect in a family? Of course, I will go wherever you, the shopkeeper, say.
Barbosa had conveyed the same message before I came.
Wherever her precious daughter was, there he was.
There is no need to worry about our future. Commander Steve has issued a blank exploration commission. Once the situation changes, we can use this thing to leave the Cleaner's system and go to other dimensions in a short time.
But we don’t want to just leave like that.”
Turner's eyes were firm as he said:
"I will never forget the tragic scene when our homeland was destroyed. The cleaners are twisted beings that should not exist! Now that we have this opportunity, we pirates who have lost our homeland will naturally make a big fuss before we can leave with satisfaction.
Before sailing off to the new world, we must offer a final sacrifice to the passing of the old era!"
"Henry will be very happy to see you now. Although the child has never said anything, I know he is also worried about his father's fate."
Elizabeth hugged her husband and said with relief:
"Finally... I can finally announce to our child without hesitation that his father is still as upright and brave as he imagined.
In that future, which is already within reach, we will finally be reunited.
Everyone, everyone who has lost their hometown will eventually find their own harbor and put everything aside to live out the rest of their lives."
Turner responded with silence. In this rare peace, he closed his eyes, and after a few minutes he sighed and said:
"Barboza is calling me. I have to go back because the situation caused by Mason has caused the ruling system under the Council to be in turmoil. We are frequently mobilized to various places to carry out deterrence missions.
But that's a good thing.
They are afraid.
They are afraid that Mason will surprise them with more, and that’s what we want to see.”
Turner took a step back and put on the dark helmet of the high-ranking commander of the Cleaner Corps again. He said to Elizabeth, whose eyes were red, in a muffled voice:
“Remember to remind Mason that although this information is credible, it does not mean that the conquerors will not make preparations in advance, especially the first-sequence clones.
After the destruction of Utopia, they have placed a bounty on Mason in the place of the once supreme professor.
Mason, please be careful and be safe. There are too many malicious eyes staring at him. "
"Well, I'll tell him."
Elizabeth stood in this desolate area and watched her husband return to the shuttle, which then took off during the voyage and swayed across the dark sea of stars like time and space, using his superb driving skills to draw a heart-shaped wake in the air before returning to his own ship.
This scene made the former Pirate King curl his lips.
Deciding that her husband was being childish, she wiped her eyes and activated the signaler.
The speed force tunnel suddenly opened, and Flash, holding the pizza, rushed over, grabbed the royal sister pirate's arm, and pulled her back to the New Osborne Tower in a flash.
The switch was almost seamless, and Elizabeth was back in Mason's office in a flash.
The captain was working on a plan for tonight's action, while Daqun, a man with artistic long hair, was standing at the window arguing with himself, and the argument was quite fierce.
"I got the information."
Madam Elizabeth handed the device to Mason. The captain looked at her, noticed the tear stains on her face, and asked:
"Did the meeting go well?"
"It's going better than expected, and there may be some news that will surprise you."
Elizabeth relayed what Turner told her to Mason, who was visibly stunned when he heard Steve Rogers say the word "admit defeat."
Perhaps he didn't expect that among the three people who made that joking agreement in the Afterlife Bar, one of them actually took it seriously.
It’s a pity that it’s not Old A, which is really regrettable.
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Go and enjoy your vacation."
Mason inserted the information device in his hand into a decoder and winked at Lady Elizabeth.
“I guess you must have a lot to say to your son now, go ahead and tell him that his father was in darkness but still served for the right thing.
By the way, tell this news to Serena and let her know that her pirate leader father has turned over a new leaf.
I heard she's very popular at Gotham High.
But anyway, before getting Barbossa's permission, I think she'd better choose her boyfriend carefully, lest the unlucky guy who lusts for her body be chopped off by her pirate father."
When Lady Elizabeth heard this, she laughed out loud, turned around and left easily. A few seconds later, a large star map unfolded in front of Mason.
He searched and checked among them, and soon selected a location for action.
“This is it.”
Mason turned to the crowd at the window and said:
"Come and take a look at these coordinates. You have to take us there tonight. Also, how is your discussion with your personalities going? Who will be the executor of the Cradle Project?
I have no psychic abilities.
I can’t use that ridiculously powerful EEG Enhancer 7.0.”
