Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: Atlantis Coupe d’etat part 2!

Stark tower

Manhattan, NYC

Tony POV

As EMP wave came, I was prepared for it. Thanks to Lady Dorma, I was able to save my tower from the emp waves. But those were really strong.

Jarvis " Sir, we were barely able to protect ourselves against EMP waves. It's astonishing, how such an advanced race was hidden."

Tony" We don't have time for that. Excluding the submarine suit. Activate all including my latest armour. It's time for Project: Iron Legion to shine."

As he said that his new suit came flying towards him and equipped on him, itself. As he donned his suit, he flew out of his tower through an opening in the ceiling.

But he wasn't alone. Dozens of Ironman suits of different designs were following him. It was his Iron Legion!

Tony " Jarvis. According to our alliance with Lady Dorma, we are going to strike the weapons of the ships. We are going to make a precise strike mission and have to make sure not a single Atlantean die."

Jarvis" It seems hard but maybe with planning and strategies, we were doing earlier. We might succeed."

With determination...

Tony" No, Jarvis. We have to. It's my chance of showing the world that I am still strong and superior! I am going to save the East coast of America. Solo."

Jarvis" As you wish, Sir."

The public which had come outside in the darkness. They saw Legion of Ironmen flying towards the Atlanteans fleets in awe. Some were baffled, shocked and excited.

They were cheering. But some were filming including Shield.

Shield HQ Triskelion

Fury was watching this along everyone.

Fury " Agent-13, open a link with Tony, NOW!"

Agent-13 aka Sharon Carter, grand niece of Margaret Elizabeth Peggy Carter opened the link.

Agent-13 " Sir, it's on!"

Fury " Tony, I am happy that you are prepared. But who are these people in your suits. I thought, you didn't share your tech."

After some moments of static...

Tony" I am not sharing or allowing anyone to use my suits. What you are seeing is my Iron Legion! Which is controlled by Jarvis."

Fury" You seems prepared and your tower and suits are okay considering the emp waves. Do you know about this before?"

With a humorous voice...

Tony" What? You don't know about dad's stories about Atlanteans...."

Fury" Tony. I am not in the mood for jokes!"

Sighing....

Tony" Okay, jokes aside and long story short. Atlantis is currently in coupe d'etat. What's happening here is a part of what is going to happen across the Atlantic Ocean!"

Fury and others were astonished.

Fury" WHAT?!!"

Tony " Sorry but I am close to Atlanteans fleets now. So, I can not talk."

Call was cut and silence was in the command centre.

Fury " GIVE ME REPORTS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, NOW!!! THIS IS A GLOBAL CATASTROPHE!!"

...

On other side

Ironman and his iron Legion started its attack on the Atlanteans fleets in a hit and run tactic. He was maneuvering around the Cannon fires. Which were shooting short and long beams and thick energy balls.

Tony while blasting some canons, was also hit by electric beams from Atlanteans pikes. But this time, his suit just jolted or was sent flying.

Jarvis " Sir! Are you alright?!"

Tony " Concentrate on the ships! I am fine. It's a lot better than last time."

He steadied himself above water and flew back towards the ships.

Sharon POV

I was in the command centre and was working with my fellow agents on director's orders. It was an unprecedented event. A civil war in Atlantis!

But it was affecting the whole world or at least one near Atlantic Ocean. Soon, we got images and satellite footages on our screens. There were three big Atlanteans fleets each moving towards a shore!

Targets were London, Izmir and Rio de Janeiro.

Fury " DAMN IT! CONTACT ALL LOCAL AGENTS AND AGENCIES! ORDER THEM TO GATHER EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO STOP THEM FAST!!!"

But then we saw multiple EMP waves emitting and hitting the cities.

Sharon " No! All assets are down like East coast of America!"

Fury" DAMN! We don't have any assets to send in time to stop them!"

Was it the end?

Midnight

Beach

Rio de Janeiro

Brazil

As Atlanteans fleets were approaching, a humanoid armadillo without long ears or nose and without tail appeared on the beach.

Obviously, a Meta human. He was wearing white shorts with black edges. His chest was bare. He was broad, muscular and bulky with muscles. His scales were starting to shine in rainbow colours.

???" Alright. That's IT! It's time for some dodgeball!"

He ran towards the sea and jumped. Then, he curled into a ball like any armadillo by curling inwards! Landing on sandy beach. His body started rotating fast like a yoyo or a bike tyre!

It's surface was like a pinwheel of rainbow colours. Then, it shot forward like a fast ball with a rainbow wavelength! This rainbow light was not just propelling him.

It was also covering his body like a shell or forcefield! It hit one of the canons. It damaged the Canon cylindrical body while changing its direction!

This made Atlanteans fleets took this strange creature seriously and opened fire. But the said creature changed its direction by bouncing away from a sudden appearance of a hard rainbow diagonal platform in the air!

It went off to other ship and hit another Canon. It repeated the same tactic many times while dodging the Canon fires. While a scenery of rainbow colours and platforms was surrounding the Atlantean fleets.

Brazilian people living near the beach were baffled and speechless.

...

9 pm

Shield HQ Triskelion

Command centre

Everyone was baffled and speechless including Fury. Who were watching satellite grainy visuals of this rainbow armadillo Meta human moving like a dodgeball around the Atlanteans fleets!

It was damaging their canons while dodging canon shots. It was bouncing off hard rainbow light platforms!

Fury " So, what am I looking at?"

Sharon " Don't know, sir. He's not in our database."

Fury, who was baffled, run his hand on his bald head.

Fury " You are telling me, this rainbow ball which is defeating Atlanteans fleets. It is not under our database! It should be among the files on my desk yesterday!"

Analyst" But sir. He's effectively stopping them considering his strange powers."

Fury and everyone nodded at that.

...

Back in Rio de Janeiro shoreline

Few Atlanteans fleets tried to gain his attention by shooting towards the city but a big rainbow wall stopped their shots! A rainbow square platform appeared near the wall.

On it the rainbow armadillo landed, his scales and his white shorts were glowing with rainbow light. Armadillo cracked his neck and knuckles with a wide smile.

Then, he curled into a ball again. Blasting forward with a rainbow wavelength, his rotating body started shooting rainbow bullets on the Atlanteans fleets!

Brazilian were cheering their strange saviour.

5 am

Izmir shoreline

Atlanteans fleets which had arrived, were moving forward with a menacing speed. At that time, a black coloured sleek submarine like a Mantaray with red edges arrived from the deep!

It's yellow propulsive line was visible but it was creating zero sounds. It started shooting with a small compressed sonic cannon! It started destroying the Atlanteans fleets cannons!

Seeing this, they started their assault on the Batsub but it was maneuvering around the beams and blasts seamlessly with its side mini but powerful thrusters!

....

Shield HQ Triskelion

Command centre

Everyone was baffled and speechless by this technological marvel of the Batman! Once again proving that West was not only den of the geniuses. Seeing this, Fury turned towards his analysts.

Fury " What kind of boat or whatever is that?!"

Analyst" Sir. We have no idea. It's not on radar, or sonar, no heat signature and energy signature! It's like, we are seeing another tech Lord like Stark but different."

Fury grumbled and said.

Fury" DAMN! This Bat is a headache. For now, let him be!"

They started watching the satellite visuals of the Batsub again.

...

Back in Izmir shoreline

Atlanteans tried to aim together on Batsub but it dodged by using its upper thrusters to go underwater! After some moments, Atlanteans fleets were hit with sonic cannon from between them!

Batsub had emerged between them and was now moving like a blur among them, attacking their cannons. People were cheering their local vigilante.

2 am

London

Atlanteans fleets had almost reached the London and they were aiming their cannons to hit and destroy the London bridge! But before a ship could fire a blast.

A blue streak hit cylindrical body of a cannon and destroyed it with a loud bang! One responsible for this was a luminous figure in a white tactical spandex suit!

He was standing on the Big Ben and was glowing with an ethereal blue light. His body seemed like made of hard blue light and he was holding a blue Long bow of Psychic energy!

He was also wearing white specs like eye mask obviously for visual. He drew his hand like pulling an arrow and exactly three psychic arrows appeared pulled by his psychic blue string.

He released them and these projectiles moved forward faster than shells and destroyed the fleet cannons!

....

Shield HQ Triskelion

Command centre

Everyone was once again baffled and astonished by the emergence of an unknown hero, obviously a Meta human with visible attraction! Fury looked at everyone's bewilderment and said.

Fury " Don't tell me, we have nothing on our luminous Hawkeye?!"

Everyone was silent. Fury sighed grumbling about making sure to lecture his agents.

Fury " Tell me, how WE HAVE NOTHING ON A GUY! WHO CAN BE SEEN IN CROWD LIKE A LIGHT BULB?! WE NEED TO STEP UP AND PAY ATTENTION MORE CLOSELY!!!"

Everyone resumed seeing the satellite grainy visuals, knowing a remand was waiting for them.

....

Back in London

Luminous archer jumped from the edges of Big Ben and threw a flat square. Which extended into a crystalline luminous hover board! He stood on it in his fall and moved towards the Atlanteans fleets faster.

Fleets sent a barrage of beams and blasts but he counter with his psychic arrows. Those stopped the energy beams and blasts in mid air! Then, he shot an arrow in air which with a bang changed into hundreds of Psychic arrows peppering the fleets!

Meanwhile he was maneuvering around the Atlanteans fleets on his hover board shooting more arrows. People of London were cheering.

1 am

Central Atlantic Ocean

A pink human with pointy ears in a royal garb of Greek Minoan era floated up from the water. His each ankle had a set of wings flapping. They might look weak but were quite durable!

He also had a magnificent golden Trident. He was none other than Namor the Sub-mariner! A human Atlantean hybrid and a Meta human with flight.

But his eyes, those were a bright green. At that time, Enigma came flying and stopped near him.

Enigma " Your highness. Can you hear me?"

Set voice came out of Namor....

Set-Namor" He's under my control and with his Trident given by Poseidon. I am going to spread destruction!"

Enigma" I will take that as a no."

Set-Namor raised his Trident and two massive tidal waves were created! They were going in the opposite directions.

Enigma " Enough!"

Enigma thrusted his arms in their respective directions and two massive shockwaves destroyed the massive tidal waves into drops of water! Set-Namor eyes widened seeing this.

Enigma appeared before him and punched his torso and a bright green light came out. But it came back again. Set-Namor tried to strike Enigma but he dodged it.

Set-Namor " Magical extraction, huh? But I am possessing this body with the help of Crown of Wisdom! Which I can keep anywhere in the planet with or without its user.

I can change it places and I can recreate it instantly upon destruction!"

Enigma" ...."

Then, Set-Namor raised his Trident again.

....

Shield HQ Triskelion

Command centre

Everyone was seeing the satellite grainy and full of static visuals on the holograms. Fury and everyone were shocked and speechless upon hearing Set words.

Fury " I WANT YOU TO CONTACT ALL EGYPTIAN EXPERTS ON SET, RIGHT NOW!!! I WANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CROWN OF WISDOM AND HOW WE CAN CONTAIN IT!!!

SO, ENIGMA CAN EXPELLED THE SNAKE BASTARD FROM NAMOR'S BODY FOR ONCE AND ALL!!!!!"

Agents" YES SIR!!!"

They started contacting Egyptian archeologists while watching the mythical battle going on in the central Atlantic Ocean.

...

Back in central Atlantic Ocean

Massive thunderclouds were spreading towards the entire Atlantic Ocean and Set-Namor was making a colossal wall of water behind him. Which started to change into giant snakes!

Set-Namor " Let's see how strong you are until I gain some attention."

His compressed sea water giant snakes opened their maws with massive fangs and rushed towards Enigma. Seeing this, Enigma right arm became a blur.

And multiple consecutive shockwaves destroyed the snakes, causing a rainfall!

Enigma " You want a civil war among Helipolitan and Olympian pantheons!"

Spreading his arms....

Set-Namor" I am an embodiment of wrath and destruction, you know! But you remind me of an orphan Egyptian. Who suddenly gained remarkable powers and became a King!

He went on a war against me and my friends and even involved the Celestials! But it made me stronger than ever in the end! But what was his name?"

He was tapping his right cheek thinking.

Enigma " His name was En Sabah Nur! He was a Meta human like me. Who decided to protect humanity from the likes of you!"

Enigma pointed towards him.

Set-Namor" Meta humans? So, that's what you are. In that case, I am going to take revenge for my humiliation by your ancestor!"

He pulled the Trident downward in a swift motion and a hurricane of wind, water and lightning engulfed Enigma! But after some moments...

BOOOM!!!

It exploded with lightning dispersing, wind spreading and water as rain falling. Enigma was floating unscathed. With an evil smirk...

Set-Namor " You are a spitting image of YOUR ANCESTOR!!"

He raised his Trident again.

.....

Meanwhile

In the Atlantic Ocean

Many Ferries and cargo ships were shaking badly due to thunderstorms and treacherous waves. Some were even going to capsized. At that time, a silver lining or glow covered them and they started levitating!

A figure in Silver Green tactical spandex suit with silver plating and a helmet covering his head except his lower face arrived floating. It was Lodestar!

Lodestar " Don't worry, everyone. I am going to keep you safe until Atlantic Ocean calm down again."

Saying that he flew away with ships following him in the air by his magnetism!

....

Shield HQ Triskelion

Command centre

Everyone was baffled and astonished by power of Lodestar. Who was said to be weaker than Magneto!

Fury " DAMN! We were really underestimating his powers. If he's this strong, how much will be Magneto! I want a revaluation of Magneto and his daughter Lorna Dane aka Polaris limits!"

Analyst" Yes, Sir."

They keep watching the grainy, glitching and static satellite visuals of Lodestar saving ships in Atlantic Ocean.

...

Back in the Atlantic Ocean

Lodestar was maneuvering himself and ships in his magnetic fields through treacherous waves of Atlantic Ocean undergoing a mythical battle. A colossal Central storm was also Visible from far!

It was crackling with more lightning than the rest of the Atlantic Ocean. At that time when he was saving ships. Large tentacles started to coming out of the waters!

He dodged them with ships.

Lodestar " Sorry but I am not in the mood of takoyaki today!"

He flew away from emerging tentacles and saw a Kraken or a giant squid holding a ship. It was bringing it to its maw!

Lodestar " Not on my watch!"

He took out a ball from one of his utility belt pouches. It was a metallic ball seemed condensed. Lodestar turned it into a sharp disc with serrations. Then, he shot it forward.

Disc moved like a silver blur and sliced the tentacles around the ship at same time ship started shining with a silver lining. Lodestar moved both the ship and his disc away while cut tentacles parts were falling in the ocean.

Squid also went under the waves.

Lodestar " Yeah, go and eat something else!"

Then, he flew away with ships. The passengers and crews were cheering inside the ships.

4 am

Paris

People were standing in the vicinity of Paris at the end of river, Seine. At that time, large flocks of seagulls were seen coming from the Atlantic Ocean. They were coming towards the people and they seemed angry.

It terrified the people. Some including channel 24 were filming this. But before seagulls attacked them. An echo of Loons from behind them was heard.

They were in massive numbers too. People were truly scared. Instead of what they imagined. They saw the very large flocks of Loons started fighting with seagulls in the air!

Few seagulls, who made it near some kids were tackled by the Loons. Who quacks at teary eyed kids with a gesture of their wings to leave the area before battling with the seagulls.

A natural battle of Atlantic Ocean's seagulls and Parisian Loons had started. At that time, some sharks were seen coming towards the sidewalk. This further scared everyone.

These sharks jumped out with open maws towards the people but at that time, Another help in the form of port Jackson Sharks emerged from the sea. They also jumped and tackled the Atlantic Ocean's sharks.

Both were glaring and growling at each other. Then, they moved forward and a visible sharks brawl began near the Paris. At that time, a kid fell in the water and was pushed with waves.

His parents shouted for help. Boy was crying and yelling. At that time, some Atlantic sharks were seen coming towards him but they were stopped by Port Jackson Sharks.

A single port Jackson Shark emerged under the boy and carried him to the land, making sure he didn't fall in the undulating waves. He brought the boy near his baffled, astonished and speechless parents.

Boy was instantly carried by the mother and Port Jackson Shark with an audible roar went towards the battle of Atlantic Ocean's sharks.

Boy, his parents and everyone including channel 24 reporters were baffled, astonished, shocked and speechless upon this natural defence line!

At some point when Loons and Port Jackson Sharks got injured, a light green light healed them. A power which was possessed by Enigma. Hero of France and boyfriend of Miss France Laury Thilleman.

At that time, many kids were cheering for the Loons and Port Jackson Sharks. Seeing them, rest of the public joined them sooner.

Casablanca

Near the beach and ports of Casablanca, a massive army of Lemurian Atlanteans, who had animalistic fish features were seen coming.

Seeing this, terrified the people. As they reached the shores, they started running with bloodlust towards the people. At that time, a reply from Earth came.

Large beings emerged from the land. Who were none other than Enigma's summons known as Lesser Earth Elementals! They moved forward while punching, kicking, throwing, smashing or choking the lemurians.

A line of defence for public safety was also formed behind the battle.

L.E.E." Please stay behind! It's dangerous for humans! Leave the Lemurians to us."

Morrocco Times TV reporters were filming this. While people started cheering.

....

Dakar

Near the ports five giant sea monsters appeared to destroy the City. A fear of death was spread among the populace. But suddenly, five giant Greater Earth Elementals emerged from the land.

They moved forward and a battle among sea monsters and sons of Gaia started. ONTv reporters were catching up with everything.

...

Lagos

A colossal sea monster appeared near the port and was moving forward with bloodlust. Sirens started playing around the area. At that time, a colossal Primal Earth Elemental emerged from the land.

It was made of earth, steel and crystals. It moved forward stomping on the ground. Causing shockwave, both titans clashes were sending shockwaves.

Sea monster was shooting compressed water beams at the Earth's son and Earth's son was replying with a barrage of crystals. It was captured by Touba TV reporters.

Midnight

Panama City, Panama

This Port City was now covered with thunderstorms which came from Atlantic Ocean. People were worried and afraid. At that time, dozens of Atlanteans with advanced jet packs wearing helmets and suits came out of the shoreline.

This was the Flying Fish squad! They had their pikes. They were going to start a devastating impact here. But before that began, they saw a movement in the air.

It wasn't a plane because they had used EMP waves earlier before coming out of the sea. That's why, everything was in darkness. Only sky lightning and non EMP stuff were working.

What they saw, was a humanoid butterfly. He was of pink colour with black outlines and designs of a butterfly. His head was like a butterfly too.

Big insectoid black and pink eyes but with a normal nose and mouth like a human. Two butterfly like ribbon like antennas. His hands and feet were like humans too.

He was wearing a tactical spandex suit of pink colour with black outlines. As he was approaching near them, two pink colour psychic pistols appeared in his hands. He started shooting them with pink bullets.

One's being hit, fell down on the beach. Because he was targeting their jetpack controls. After that others started shooting electric beams at him. But he dodged them maneuvering around and dropped more of them.

People of Panama City were baffled.

...

Shield HQ Triskelion

Command centre

Most of the male agents and Fury were baffled but female agents were squealing on this beautiful butterfly! Talking about how his colour and power were complementary to each other.

Fury " Do we have a profile on him?"

Silence. He moved his hand on his face.

Fury " No doubt, people are humiliating us! There's no way! He could hide!"

Then, they started watching the satellite visuals again.

...

Panama City

Right now, pink butterfly Meta human was flying around the beach using the area to drop down the others. One's who were dropped had tried to attack him.

But he either use their shots in friendly fire or seemingly stun them with his bullets. One time, they tried to corner him at that time, he escaped by flapping his wings upward.

Which ended in them, hitting each other. He also dodged the electric beams by curling his wings while flying around and shot his pursuers.

5 am

Poseidonis, Atlantis

Krang's selected squad was going to a chamber of royal palace. Where they were keeping the Atlantean council loyal to Namor. Because they were free from Trident's effect.

As they came inside, a council man spoke. They were all in Minoan garbs.

C.M." Do you know, what you are doing?! Treason!"

Leader of the squad with a sinister smile.

Leader " That King is a puppet of Lord Set! Who is using him to destroy the surface world!"

A female member spoke.

C.M." You idiot! Lord Poseidon will kill us all!"

Leader" Enough of your rambling! Silence them!"

His few men moved forward and council members were afraid. But one of the Pike holders suddenly attacked his fellow pike holders. He hit one on the head.

Tripped the other and hit the third in his torso making him hitting the fourth. Council members and squad leader was baffled and astonished. Leader got angry and yelled.

Leader" You moron! Are you out of your mind?!"

At that time, a glitch happened and the seemed traitor changed into a black skinned purple eyed African guy with kinky black hair. He was using a hologram device for disguise.

He was wearing a sleeveless black tactical spandex suit with purple outlines. His pike was of black colour with purple outline. It was a Psychic weapon.

Everyone was baffled and astonished.

Leader " Who are you?! How did you get here?!"

???" I am working with Lady Dorma and her highness asked me to save the Atlantean council."

He was speaking Atlantean. All council members were relaxed and happy. This guy was wearing purple specs for seeing in the water and a purple mask clasped to his mouth.

It was helping him in breathing. Leader, Who was mad.

Leader" Finish him!"

He ordered his men but black guy with pike moved forward and beat them by hitting on the vital points. Then, he threw his pike which hit others in a rotating manner.

One of the earlier was going for the council when the Pike impacted him away. Black guy also beat some guys using martial arts. The leader grunting moved forward with a spear.

As he made a lunge, black guy held it. Suddenly, the spear started to corrode!

Leader" WHAT?!"

???" Yeah, I can do that too."

His spear fell melting. Black guy punch the general while melting his helmet. Then, he turned towards the council and his pike came back sticking to his back.

He took out a symbol of royalty from his utility belt pouch.

???" Just for insurance."

A wise looking member raised his hand.

C.M." It's alright, lad. We already believe you. Where's Lady Dorma?"

???" She is challenging Krang with big bro of mine in the throne room."

Everyone's eyes widened. A skinny one said.

C.M." WHAT?! We have to help her!"

???" Ok. Come with me. She had given us a map earlier."

Then, they went out of the chamber towards the throne room.
