52 Vibranium

I spent over a month working on my mask/helmet. During this time I had gotten to know Peter while in human form. I was in no hurry to have him bitten or to tell him I was secretly an alien here to kill my father and later brother, I was planning to make him sign a couple of contracts before I shared so much with him. 

Vi'kog had successfully stolen Hank Pym's pym particle suit and because I had been working on the ancients time machine for quite a while in my free time ever since I removed it from the puddle jumper, I was already very familiar with quantum mechanics and could somewhat understand the technology to a certain extent. 

Unlike what Shuri believed, I was able to mold the Vibranium to what I wanted to make. That was the easy part of the whole process. The mask was made of pure vibranium, I didn't add any special feature aside from it being able to go on and come off with just a thought from myself using the ancient gene technology. 

It was just a flat mask until I put it up against my face and willed it to 'go on' and it would wrap itself around my head after. When I willed it to come off, it would go back to being an ordinary looking flat mask. Aside from that the only other real technology I added to it using pym particle technolgoy was a small naquadah/vibranium hybrid stargate that rested against the forehead of the mask. 

The mini stargate was fully functional and could be detached and used at any time. I placed a stargate on mars like I had in the Stargate Universe, only this time I dug out a small chunk of mars and placed the stargate underground and then shielded the area using an ancient shield. The hole I dug was the size of a small room that you would find inside a normal sized house. 

Now anytime I wanted to quickily store something away instead of carrying it around, I could simply dial the mars gate on my forehead via the stargate dial technology I had absorbed in the past and then throw the items into it. If the items were big, I could detach and enlarge the stargate to the size I needed it to be.

The stargate portal on the helmet appeared to always be active and swirled as if it was connected to another gate somewhere. I figured it was just an odd thing that happened due to it being shrunk. I thought it looked cool and it didn't seem to be a problem so I just kept it that way. Because of my mostly red helmet that it rested on, the usual blue swirl was more of a red swirl. 

My vibranium gloves were even more simple. In the palm of each glove was a bare circle that exposed my skin beneath it so that I could still use my powers while wearing them, aside from that they looked like typical biker gloves only I had dyed them when making them to match my helmet. 

Vibranium wasn't perfect and although it seemed to be quite effective in this universe when it came to protection against physical attacks, it still had a melting point like any other metal. I had tested this out myself with my lightsaber. My lightsaber could cut through it, it just took a bit longer than normal. I also wondered due to it being a type of metal if people like Magneto could bend it to their will. 

Although the helmet wasn't perfect, it was better than going into a fight against someone stronger without head protection and ending up like I had last time my brain had gotten fried.  Because I had recently finished both the helmet and gloves, I was now ready to consume the heart shaped herb and acquire it's power and I began to get ready. 

I had part of my crew on standby with strict instructions to bring me back to life if I died for more than a certain amount of time. I was aware that the heart shaped herb wasn't the mystical thing Wakandans thought it was and it was just plants that were mutated due to the vibranium around them. I wasn't worried about the scary stories of the Wakandan god bast, but just to be safe, I figured I would consume the herb in the stargate universe which should be away from the panther god's influence. 

Talokans similar to the Wakandas utilized a similar vibranium-mutated underwater plant that gave them water-breathing abilities. Sadly due to the herb, they could not breathe on land. I had thought about trying to make a plant vibranium hybrid that would give me specific powers i desired, but I did not want to end up like the Talokans so I felt the heart shaped herbs powers were enough. Sometimes being too greedy could be bad. 

Going out to the farm land the fae managed, Tuka, Yuna, Benny and his followers all gathered around me as I laid in an empty grave I had dug out for myself. Yuna ground up the heart shaped herb into paste and then poured it into my mouth as I laid down and they began to  bury me as instructed. 

Yuna looked worried. "Please don't die"

I smiled at her words. "Well, dying is part of the process, the trick is not staying dead. If the herb somehow judges that I am unworthy and kills me, then the herb is blind". 

The paste I swallowed made my insides burn very slightly and I could see my veins glowing blue. As my face was finally being covered in dirt, I prepared myself for death as I started to lose consciousness. Not long after being buried I found myself floating upward into space. On my way I saw many other beings that seemed similar to my current state. One of the beings pointed towards me and laughed. "Isn't that the man that stole the city we had left behind after ascending? How is he here? He doesn't appear to be ascended like we are". 

A man near her nodded his head. "Yes, he seems to have somehow accessed this plane of existence even though he is not qualified to do so, oh look... he's ascending even higher!" 

The man wasn't wrong, I seemed to continue to literally ascend as I sped past them and continued upward to another space. A darker space with only one being inside it to greet me.  A being I vaguely remember meeting before.

The grey alien that had reincarnated me, let me keep my partial memories, and gave me a strong Titan body due to the karma I had accumulated in my last life. Now that I saw the Alien again, I started to remember him and a few other things I had forgotten about. In my last life, I suddenly remembered that I had made a great breakthrough in agriculture and prevented millions from starving all around the world and then lived a long life and died peacefully in my sleep. 

At this time the grey alien looked my way.
