God Of Shadows

Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Creating ripples



After I had added to my army, I burned the corpses and then made sure that the ship's I was dragging were put back together as best I could before I attached some enchanted ropes to them and made to have them be dragged behind my ship as I made my way to Xandar. I am sure the Nova Corps will pay a decent amount to get their hands on the ships.

It won't be that much, as the ships were damaged by me, If nothing else, they can learn the weaknesses of the ships and even re-purpose the parts for their fleet. The Kree and the Xandarians are at war after all.

Before I could continue my journey, I was interrupted by the Kree dropship coming back. They saw the remnants of the battle and me towing the Accuser's ships.

I was instantly attacked and I could tell they were already upset as I'm sure "Vers" as they called her, has already been Kreenapped.

Their blaster bolts were stopped by my ships shields and as they got close, I grabbed my spear which had also been brought with me on my journey along with a glaive. My spear and glaive were not as powerful as the weapon I received from the dwarves, but they were still made very well, even if they were disposable in my eyes.

I used my black flames to cover my spear and a small part of my ship's shield opened automatically as i threw my spear with all my strength and even increased it's speed with Ruler's Authority. They tried to svoid the projectile, but only barely moved out of the way of a direct impact as it struck and smashed through an entire part of the ship, even striking the wing making the ship start to have difficulty in flight.

Eventually they opened a jump point and went back to what I assumed would be either Hala or C-53 if they are able to get into contact with Carol.

"Finally. Some peace and quiet once more." I joked as I continued my journey to Xandar.

...

(A few minutes ago aboard the Kree Dropship)

"What the hell happened down there?!?" Yon-Rogg demanded while looking at Menerva

"The skrulls mist have used a signal jammer, I couldn't warn about the possible ambush until it was too late." She explained.

"Fine, we need to regroup and then we need to figure out what happened to Vers." Yon-Rogg replied.

Yon-Rogg was about to ask something else when he saw the remains of some of the Accuser's ships and then looked over and saw the two shops being towed by a large ship that looked to be Asgardian in Nature as it was the only civilization he'd heard of that used actual wooden ship looking spaceships.

"What happened here?" Menerva questioned aloud.

"I don't know, but we'll find out." Yon-Rogg replied.

"Fire some warning shots." Yon-Rogg requested.

Korath who was manning the weapons systems nodded as he sent a bunch of shots towards the individual ship they could see. All the shots were blocked by the ship's shields which they didn't expect it to have then they saw an individual on the ship pick up what looked like a spear then it was covered in a dark flame and it was thrown towards them.

"MOVE!!" Yon-Rogg shouted as they saw the spear heading towards them.

They only barely escaped a direct impact that would have potentially caused irreparable damage to the ship. But, unfortunately the impact took out their communications array and a part of their wing and flight stabilizer. They knew this was a losing battle and quickly made their way to the jump point they arrived from, do they could go back to Hala, report, and make repairs to their ship.

....

(3 Days later)

After reminiscing about his first space battle, Erebos finally saw Xandar. As he was preparing to land, two smaller yellow ships stopped in front of him and a visual projection appeared in front of him.

"Unidentified ship, you have to follow us to the spaceport for registration of your ship and your identity before landing on the planet. Someone from the Nova Corps will also meet you to discuss why you have two Kree battleships being towed behind you.

I told them that i would comply and began to dock my ship along with the towed ships. The spaceport itself was actually not in space as the name would suggest, but was situated in the lower atmosphere of the planet and one could see the cities below them.

After docking my ship and the two others were secure, I lowered my ship's shields and lowered the ramp as I walked down.

I noticed the surprised looks I was receiving from the nearby Xandarians and other people that happened to be visiting Xandar like I was. They were actually staring more at my viking like ship than myself.

Asgardians can live up to 5000 years, give or take depending upon external factors, so it wasn't surprising that many knew of Asgard. We were a legendary race of beings with top notch combat abilities, technology, magic, and divine power. It was just that they rarely left the Nine Realms so seeing them was a spectacle indeed.

As I got to the bottom of the ramp, just as I had been told, a member of the Nova Corps was indeed waiting for me.

"Hello, I will complete your registration and you will be questioned regarding your 'unique' circumstances." The Nova Corps representative said with trepidation as they did not want to offend me which could cause a scene and could possibly endanger the people.

He then directed me to an empty capsule which seemed to be where I would be registered and activated what he called the Heart of Xandar to begin my registration.

The Heart of Xandar was similar to the Kree's Supreme Intelligence except it works more like Jarvis and works to provide basic assistance and allows for much more autonomy and ease.

*Characteristic scan: Species-Asgardian

Danger Level: Very High. No offenses on record. As it is your first time arriving on Xandar please tell your age, name, and reason for your visit.* the machine stated

I didn't care that it rated my danger level as very high because it was definitely true, and I gave my information.

"I am 110 years old and my name is Erebos Odinson. As for my reason for visiting, I'd say it's business and pleasure." I explained.

*Noted. Information annotated. As this is your first time visiting Xandar and you are visiting for Business, would you like me to create a bank account for you?* the AI asked.

"Yes, that would be very helpful thank you." I answered.

*Initializing.....Account creation successful. Details for account access are as follows.....*

After mentally writing down all the information they gave me to access my account I stepped out of the capsule.

"Alright. Registration completed. Now for questioning. Why are you towing two Kree battleships, specifically those belonging to the Accusers?" The Nova Corps representative asked.

"Ah yes that. I came across the battleships attacking a planet on my way over here and when they discovered me, they attacked. In self defense, I destroyed their ships, killed all the crew and brought the ships here for sale." I explained.

The representative was taking not of my response but paused when he got to the last part of my response.

"You said sale? You are willing to sell the ships to the Nova Corps?" He asked.

"The Nova Corps or whoever offers the highest price, Asgardian gold is useless outside the Nine Realms afterall." I explained.

At my words, the Nova Corpsman blanched as he had to make sure I sold the ships to them.

"I will schedule a meeting with Nova Prime for the sale if you are willing to wait. We will provide funds for room and board." He explained.

I nodded in agreement as I waved my hand causing my asgardian ship to raise the ramp, and the shields as I walked with the Nova Corps representative.
