Marvel: Breezing Through History as an Eternal

Chapter 182: The Madness Within. 2012 CE

Kojirou was running to the Stark tower, and he met Cleo just outside of the entrance.

“How do we get up?” he questioned.

“The lift’s dead, someone turned it off.” answered Cleo.

“Stairs then?”

“I’ve got something quicker.” Cleo then raised her hands, and a humongous chain started to come out from the ground. The chain launched towards the balcony of the tower, securing itself tightly towards the foundation.

“Come on.” said Cleo, jumping to the chain and quickly ascended.

“Really?” Kojirou raised his brow. “Stairs would’ve been so much better…” Kojirou just sighed, and also climbed the chains.

Both of them quickly jumped from chain to chain, climbing the tower rapidly. But the Chitauri noticed the appearance of the chain, and they started to attack them.

“See!?” Kojirou exclaimed. “Bad idea!”

“It’s faster, idiot!” said Cleo, her eyes glowing silver. The Chitauri are slamming each other left and right, courtesy of the woman.

Kojirou then saw a Leviathan approaching them, traversing the sky of New York, breaking the buildings along the way. Kojirou clicked his tongue, and turned his body towards the Leviathan. “You go on, I’ll catch up!”

“What?! We’re almost there!”

“Well there’s a fucking space worm approaching the tower!” Kojirou jumped from the chain, shaking it a little. He hovered in the air for a little while, unsheathed his sword, and a gigantic wave of Crimson Energy slashed the Leviathan in half, splitting it open.

Kojirou then landed on the carcass, his hand at his Nodachi, resting at the pommel. He then saw more Leviathans coming, targeting him specifically. 

Instead of gulping, Kojirou grinned. He unsheathed his nodachi once again, and it was emanating a strong crimson energy. He jumped from the carcass, and landed on the concrete. As he saw the Leviathans lining up just right, he slammed his feet to the ground, cracking the asphalt, and made a strong Vertical Slash that sent a huge wave of Crimson energy towards the Leviathans.

The Leviathans were of course sliced in two, but it also made the road cracked open, making a small ravine that exposed the sewers underneath.

The leviathans dropped towards the ground, landing just beside the tall buildings, and some even went into one, and it destroyed the entire building in the process.

 “Kojirou! What have you done!?” his comms suddenly started to blow up as his face clearly still has that wide grin.

“What? I killed the space worms!”

“You destroyed New York!” the voice shouted, it was Anna. “What the hell is going on with you Kojirou!?”

As Kojirou realised what he just did, he saw the destruction he caused, the whole road was exposed, revealing the sewers, some even hit the subway. The buildings around him were full of halls, the Leviathan corpses resting inside the building itself, waiting for the place to collapse.

“Well… Shit.”

—

Anna adeptly controlled some Chitauri forces using her dream abilities that made the Chitauri sleep walk. She even controlled one of the Leviathan to do her bidding, but she needs absolute focus to do that.

Her eyes were constantly glowing pink, she was sweating, her knees weak, and she wanted to pass out.

She was just shouting to the comms as she saw the destruction that Kojirou had caused from the Chitauri’s eyes, and she kept shouting profanities at Kojirou for doing that.

“Well I’m sorry okay!? I lost myself for a second!” Kojirou defended himself.

“You need to check yourself for corruption!”

“The ring doesn’t allow corruption, remember?!”

“The ring doesn’t allow interference from the owner of the dimension idiot! But it doesn’t mean that their powers couldn’t corrupt you!”

“Whatever!”

Anna clicked her tongue as she was annoyed by Kojirou’s actions, but that made her a bit unfocused, and suddenly, a Chitauri was coming towards her from the back, and it wanted to slam its vehicle to Anna.

But a gunshot suddenly echoed throughout the rooftops of New York, and it snapped Anna back.

She turned around, and saw that a Chitauri was dead just near her.

“Watch your back Anna.” said a voice in the comms, it was Michel, using an unscoped sniper as his weapon.

“Right… sorry…” Anna coughed in embarrassment.

“But you’re right.” Michel spoke in the comms. “Kojirou, you need to check yourself.”

As Cleo arrived at the rooftop again, he noticed that it was all… quiet… there was no noise inside the place, and Cleo didn’t like it at all.

“Loki, show yourself!” she said, chains started to drop from her hands, making a screeching sound as it moved on the tile floor.

But it was still quiet… Cleo doesn’t have that feeling of danger again, she felt that it was safe being here, she didn’t know why, but she kept pushing.

“Loki!” she shouted, grabbing her chains more tightly.

Then, she sensed a movement.

She quickly spun around, and her chains wrapped around the hands of the man that made a noise, but once she saw who it was, she was shocked.

It wasn’t Loki, it was someone else.

“F-Father? What are you doing here?” she stuttered, quickly unsummoning her chains that wrapped around her father’s arms.

“Dealing with him,” said Pluto, looking at the ground below him. There, stood Loki, passed out, looking pale as fuck, with the sceptre besides him, laying gently.

“W-What? I thought you left the task to us?” Cleo stammered. “D-Did you not trust us?”

“Oh, I trust you Cleo, you’ve done a spectacular job outside, well, except Kojirou, seems like you need to deal with him after this.”

“What? What did he do?” she frowned, looking down to the streets below.

“You’ll find out later.” Pluto shrugged. “For now, I’ll see you later, my task here is done.”

Pluto suddenly disappeared from the place, confusing Cleo to the highest degree. She walked towards the unconscious Loki, and grabbed the Sceptre away from him.

She then stared at Loki, still contemplating on what had happened here…
