X-Force: Beyond Omega

Chapter 70: Nebula vs Natasha



After stripping down Nebula's armor, I decided to heal her body. The first reason is to get rid of the chances of her cybernetics sending info to Thanos, secondly, I wanted to see how she looks without those cybernetics, and finally, if Thanos somehow manage to take her away, she'll feel that pain of her body getting ripped apart again. I hope it's the last one because, she gotta pay for all those agents she killed.

It was really hard because after transferring the healing factor to her body, I had to rip out those cybernetics implants and it was bloody, not in a good way. But it worked. No more cyborg Nebula. Her hair grew back, and even her skin became smooth and blemish-free. Even her eyes I pulled out, recovered completely. Her body was as good as new. Her skin has shades of blue and purple, one darker than the other, giving it a unique marble-like appearance. Her eyes were beautiful and blue, unlike the black ones she had before.

Well, it ain't no time to be impressed by her body. 

I had to use telepathy to keep the pain away and keep her asleep.

It looks like she regained her true form. She lay naked in front of me. Big boobs, small waist, and smooth hips. A perfect hourglass figure. Tight looking pussy and nice ass too. Her face was beautiful as well, a mix of sharpness and softness. I don't know if I can call this beautiful or hot... I teleported to the Shield's base along with her and took a dead guy's clothes to put on her.

With that done, it's time to read her mind and find out what happened to Natasha.

As I entered her memories. Images, emotions, and sounds began flooding into my mind—a vivid, chaotic stream of her experiences. I focused on the recent events.

The scene shifted. Nebula, in her stealth-enhanced nanite armor, stood at the entrance of the temporary Shield base. Her black eyes scanned the area, her body cloaked in shimmering invisibility. Her hands gripped two sharp blades, glowing faintly with energy.

[3rd person POV]

The base was bustling with activity. Agents moved through the corridors, unaware of the predator in their midst. Silent as death, Nebula struck.

Her movements were precise, mechanical, and brutal. She emerged from invisibility behind her first target—a young Shield agent. Before he could react, she drove one blade into his heart and the other into his neck. Blood splattered out as she severed his head. He crumpled without a sound.

Nebula disappeared again, her form blending with the shadows. She moved from one agent to the next, cutting them down with horrifying efficiency. Her blades pierced hearts and slit throats, leaving no time for alarm. The base fell silent within minutes, the bodies of Shield agents scattered across the halls.

Nebula moved to the control room, deactivated security systems, and hacked into the main server, thanks to her superior technology. She began downloading Shield's data onto a little device. After downloading the data as she turned to leave, the door burst open. Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow, stood there, guns drawn. She was surprised to see an alien before her, but kept her calm as usual.

"Why did you kill them?" Natasha said, her voice low and cold.

Nebula tilted her head, amused. "They died because they were weak. Now, you will join them too."

Natasha didn't hesitate. She fired. Nebula dodged with inhuman speed, her nanite armor absorbing the stray shots. The two women clashed, blades against fists.

Nebula's nanite armor gave her superior strength and durability not to mention her brutal training and experience, but Natasha's years of training, missions, and biochemically enhanced body, not to mention the Red Room special training and their version of SSS in her body, she was at the peak human form. It made her a match for even the best fighters.

After disarming Natasha's guns, Nebula lunged forward, her twin energy blades slicing through the air in lethal arcs. Natasha quickly took out her batons from her hips and sidestepped the first strike then parried the second with one of her batons, the electrified weapon crackling as it connected with Nebula's blade. Sparks flew, illuminating the dim hallway in bursts of blue and red.

She spun out of Nebula's reach and fired a grappling hook to the ceiling. She yanked herself upward, evading another swipe of the alien's blade. From her elevated position, Natasha tossed a flashbang grenade. It detonated with a blinding light and deafening roar. Nebula snarled as her vision overloaded, her nanites struggling to recalibrate.

Seizing the moment, Natasha dropped down and landed a solid kick to Nebula's chest, sending her staggering back. She followed with a series of rapid strikes to Nebula's exposed joints, aiming to disable her movement. Her blows were precise, targeting weak points in the armor.

But Nebula adapted quickly. Her armor shifted, creating new protective layers over its vulnerabilities. She caught Natasha's wrist mid-strike, her grip like a vice.

"Impressive," Nebula said, her voice cold. "But futile."

She punched her, breaking her ribs before spinning Natasha like a rag doll, and slamming her into the wall. Natasha gasped in pain but managed to twist free, landing awkwardly on her feet. She winced, clutching her side where a rib had cracked. Despite her enhanced body, Nebula's strength was incredible. If it was a normal human, that person would have died on the spot.

Natasha activated her widow bites, sending a powerful electrical charge through them. They sizzled as she aimed at Nebula. The alien woman simply grinned, unaffected by the current. The nanites were insulated against any kind of attack.

Nebula advanced, her blades spinning. "You're delaying the inevitable. Surrender, and I might let you live."

Natasha smirked through the pain. "You don't know me very well." She triggered a hidden mechanism in her suit, releasing a cloud of nanite-disrupting EMP particles. It was still in the development phase to counter Trask Industries nanites if any bad situation arose. But Fury told Natasha to be ready during this mission since they were dealing with the unknowns.

The air shimmered as the particles interfered with Nebula's armor, causing it to flicker and glitch.

Nebula faltered, her movements stuttering as her systems struggled to compensate. Natasha didn't hesitate. She closed the distance and landed a hard punch to Nebula's jaw, followed by a knee to the stomach. She swept Nebula's legs out from under her, sending the alien crashing to the ground.

Before Nebula could recover, Natasha drew a knife and pressed it against her throat. "Game over."

But Nebula wasn't finished yet. Her armor surged with energy, expelling the EMP interference. A pulse of raw power knocked Natasha off her feet, sending her skidding across the floor.

Nebula stood, her blades glowing brighter than before. "I've had enough of this," she growled, her voice low and dangerous. She advanced toward Natasha, who was struggling to stand.

Natasha tried to dodge, but Nebula anticipated her move. With one swift motion, she severed Natasha's left arm at the shoulder. Natasha screamed in agony as blood spurted out from her severed limb, coating the floor in crimson. She fell to her knees, clutching her shoulder, trying to stop the bleeding.

"In the end, you are just a puny human," She raised her sword, but to her surprise, a blast knocked her back, sending her crashing onto the wall. There was a Shield agent who was barely alive, standing near the door with a blaster. It was a miscalculation on her part. She got a little arrogant and deactivated her targeting mode when she was killing those agents. One of them luckily survived.

"Run!" He reloaded the blaster with the last shot.

"No, no, no... You're not going anywhere." Nebula stood up. She didn't even feel pain because of her cybernetic enhancements. The agent fired. Nebula dodged the shot and jumped forward, lunging at him with her sword. She plunged it into his chest, piercing his heart.

He fell, his lifeless body slumping to the ground. "I told you..." Nebula muttered as she retrieved her blade. "You're all weak."

But it was enough for Natasha to run away. Well, she took her severed arm with her.

However, it was only snow outside... Injured and in a critical condition, she couldn't run much further and stopped near a cliff. Below was a frozen lake. Trails of blood marked her passage as she staggered toward the edge. The wind howled around her, a freezing chill seeping into her bones. She tried to use her emergency device to inform Fury, but it was broken during the fight. She threw the last of her mines on the icy ground and took her last grenade into her hand.

She collapsed to her knees, her remaining arm clutching the stump where her other limb had once been.

Nebula flew down behind her. "You have wasted enough time."

Natasha turned to face her, a cold determination etched on her face.

"You know..." she said, her voice barely audible over the howling wind. "There's a guy. A very insanely strong man... He'll come for you. And when he does..." She let out a weak chuckle. "You'll wish you were never born."

Nebula sneered. "Who? The one you call 'Captain America?' Or maybe that 'Hulk?' Maybe Ironman. They are weak." She has already uploaded the info she hacked from Shield's system into her system.

Natasha smiled. "..."

Nebula raised an eyebrow. "Then who?"

"You will know when he arrives," Natasha let out a painful chuckle. "Hahaha... Heck, I don't even know why I am thinking of him in this situation." Her face contorted in pain as she clutched her bleeding shoulder.

"It's time to end this," Nebula said coldly.

Natasha took a deep breath, steeling herself.

Nebula took a step forward and a beeping sound caught her attention. She looked down to see a small device under her feet. Natasha grinned.

"I'm not gonna go alone," She threw the grenade at Nebula.

[Booom!] A massive explosion ripped through the area. It was a powerful explosion that created a crater with a radius of a kilometer. Snow, ice, and dirt were sent flying into the air. Nebula's armor protected her from the brunt of the blast, but she was still thrown back, landing hard on her back. She sat up, cursing. The nanites slowly regenerated the damaged parts of her armor, but it would take some time.

The cliff was gone and so was Natasha.

Her body crashed onto the frozen lake, the thin ice broke and she fell into the freezing water below.

The cold water engulfed her, instantly numbing her senses. She struggled to stay awake, her movements slowing as the cold sapped her energy. The pain of her missing arm seemed distant now, replaced by an overwhelming sense of fatigue. Her vision blurred and darkness closed in around her.

As she sank into the depths of the lake, her thoughts turned to a certain someone... 'Aron... He was cute...'

[Present time]

Although Aron didn't get what Natasha felt or thought, he saw and heard everything that happened at the base.
