Chapter 102: I am putting together a team of remarkable people…

Chat Group: Circle of Fools.

Mythic: …..

VampireKid: …..

Hydra: …..

TheDoctor: …..

RedWidow: ….. I got to say the name is growing on me…

KickBaal: HAHAHAHAHA, it really describes us doesn't it. (Lol.gif)

Ryan finally sees the new name of the group. 

"Is the management trying to subtly tell us something?" He is dissatisfied with the new name.

"However, I couldn't get mad at the ones who had helped us. She had lowered the number of penalties I had to take. Minus the reward from the achievement, then I only had one additional quest."

He is now chatting on a Wednesday. He can only chat on Tuesdays and Thursdays before this. He got a full week this time. He is in his secret room, making some adjustments to his Imperium armor.

"This is the most heavily armored suit I have made…," Ryan sighs while completing it. The Imperium armor is 2.5-meter tall armor made with his references to the Warhammer 40k games. He had bought knowledge from a lot of different universe armor and procured their blueprint to create this new one. 

The armor is black with red lines and a golden skull with a wing logo on its chest. It has a long sword with spiked blades like a saw-headed shark on its back and a railgun in its hand. It is made to withstand the onslaught of an army of monsters.

"I planned to sell this and use the other armor inside the storage ring, but…"

Ryan sighs again while using a wrench to tighten up a part in the armor's shoulder. He didn't want to use his chance to buy something from the higher-tier marketplace right now. What if the thing that catches his eyes is an item? Then he would have to wait for a month.

RetiredMechanic: I am now tier 3 (coolsunglasses.gif)

Hydra: Congrats Retired Mechanic! Don't forget to throw us below some quests…

RetiredMechanic: I also got us a table at the higher-tier marketplace. A man in a level-up universe. I will tell you about his offer later.

VampireKid: @Hydra, how much more quests do you need?

Hydra: I have taken 17 quests. Two quests are still ongoing, while the rest is completed. Minus the penalty then I have done 14 quests.

Mephisto: You still haven't completed Hela's quest? Thousands of years imprisoned and hundreds of years being imprisoned is different. If it is my big sister Hela then the quest is already completed. Or you just suck…

Hydra: ….. You know I only take the quest because of you right?

Ryan figures that he will be the next one to tier 3. In the group, only three people are in tier 2. KickBaal, GreenWitch, and him. He is confident to finish the country's development quest in a month. However, he didn't know what to do with Hela's quest. 

KickBaal: I WILL BECOME TIER 3 TODAY!

QueenElf: How is that possible? (Bewildered.gif)

KickBaal: There are a lot of quests I can take in the Diablo universe. I only didn't because of the war. 

In a week, Raikas completed 20 quests. He initially had done 4 of the quests. As he got to pay the price of the body, he had to do additional 5 quests to get to tier 3. The additional quest will be added to Mythic's account, so it will be easier for him to get to tier 4.

Hydra: Damn, now it's only me and GreenWitch who is in tier 2! 

GreenWitch: Um….

Hydra: …. Don't tell me….

GreenWitch: I have completed my 19th quest today and will be done with 20 quests by tomorrow…

Mythic: You have fallen behind @Hydra (mock)

Ryan doesn't have any excuses for himself. The quest in the public board is mostly weird, but there are some decent ones. Most of his time is spent studying and creating, he didn't search for a new quest to take. 

That night, while he is tinkering with some gadgets, he feels a pulse from the earth. 

"What is going on?" He tries to investigate it, but a circular magic spark is trying to open a portal at his house. He allows the connection to stabilize. An Asian man comes by from the portal to meet him.

"I bring a message from the Ancient One…" Wong said to Ryan. 

…

Kai is at his clinic. Steve is coming to visit him riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle. 

"Kai, are you sure about me using it?" Steve asks. He came today as Kai invited him to watch baseball together. It's been one week since they got to know each other. As they have much in common, they quickly become friends. 

"If you don't, then it will only collect dust in my garage. If you feel bored, there are 3 more bikes there. You can exchange it anytime you want," Kai said as he was closing up the clinic. It was only the afternoon, but he had been opening the clinic for almost 48 hours.

The more Steve learns about Kai, the more he admires the man. He had met with Skye, Domingo, Lana, and many others who are Kai's close friends and heard the story. 

When he wakes up in the restaurant, Kai leaves him a key and an address on a note. The note also says to come over anytime he wants. Steve politely rides back to the Harley Davidson to give it to Kai at that time, but he came at an awkward moment. He hears some noise inside the house that stopped him in his tracks.

"He is with a girl?" Steve doesn't want to disturb Kai and let him have his night. He came again the next day to send the bike, but Kai invited him to his house for a meal. 

"What is this Kai?" Steve is looking at Kai's collection of books. He found a book that Kai made on his own.

"Well, when I first came to America, I thought they were going to ask me the questions during my immigration test. I was wrong," Kai said embarrassingly.

It is a short history book from the time after the war. It is useless for Kai, but not for Steve. It greatly helped Steve to adapt to living in the future. The book wasn't put there by Kai to help Steve in the first place. He really did use the book when he was going to take the immigration test. Ryan created it after reading the thick history book inside the library of his father's house. 

Steve also found out that Kai used to be an army man in Latveria before he came here. He figures that's why they become close so quickly. 

Today, Steve is now inside Kai's house drinking beer. He doesn't know how Kai does it. All of the drinks Kai brought out can make him drunk. They drink beer and eat chicken wings while watching baseball. 

"Dad, I am leaving now…" Skye said while carrying her luggage. She, Ava, Jessica, and Trish are going to take a vacation together in California. 

"Bye Steve~," Skye said coquettishly while waving at Steve. The man is the first handsome man Kai who becomes Kai's friend. Skye's heart beats wildly when she sees him for the first time. 

"Don't forget about my teaching. Be safe, all of you," Kai hugged his daughter before she went out to meet the others. He didn't care much about his daughter's crush. In fact, he is glad Skye is liking someone. She had been going for five years now without a boyfriend. He is afraid that she will die alone and her face will be eaten by a cat.

"Meow.." Felicia rubs her body on Skye's leg to say goodbye. Skye will be on vacation for 2 weeks. The cat will miss her. After Skye left, Felicia went to Steve and sat on his head.

"Ohh she likes you, Steve," Kai teased. Steve takes Felicia from his head and puts it in his lab. Felicia purrs while Steve is stroking her back. 

"Should I bring her back with me? You are always at the clinic right?" Steve offered. Having a companion isn't that bad.

"If you want to steal my cat, then you have to take my daughter with you…" Kai said while trying to be a wingman for Skye. 

"I wonder how Skye would feel if she knew she is a part of a buy one free one deal…" Steve quipped softly. 

"She will kill me," Kai said softly. Steve and Kai are both laughing when they think about it.

…

In Paradiso.

Frank finally learns about the island and its capability. Richard is now surrounded by a group of older girls trying to tease him. It couldn't be helped that he is the only boy on the island.

"So, I have a year to decide huh…" Frank mutters. He understands now what Dawn means by a punisher. Using the computer on the island, he quickly learns that there is something off about the operation in Central Park that has taken the public life of his family. 

Dawn isn't using him to assassinate politicians or mafia members. He just needs to make the punisher way to be his way of life. To return to the time when he was 10 years old and killed the gangster because he needed to die. He couldn't let laws get in his way.

"Simply put, I will be an outlaw. That's why he said my family will die because of me," Frank said. He will never hide his identity. If his family is dead, then he won't have any weaknesses or something to be leveraged on him. 

Yinsen, who was sipping tea in front of Frank, nodded his head. 

"He said war is coming. Is it true?" Frank asks in concern. If it is true, why is Dawn not warning the people?

"The Deer God can see the future, but it has limitations. He couldn't tell the exact time it would happen. He only knows the rough timeline…" Yinsen said to back up the Deer God. 

At this moment, Dawn teleported in front of Yinsen. 

"Get the team ready. The battle is starting…" Dawn said monotonously.

Yinsen and Frank are both shocked. They didn't expect that the war would come suddenly. 

"Who are we fighting exactly?" Frank asks. If he is to be the commander, he needs to know who the enemy is.

"Red Queen. Show him." Dawn said before he teleported away. A holographic projection of the enemy is displayed to Frank.

"Alien?" His worldview is shattered. But his mind is steady as he needs to learn about the enemy. "This will be fun."

…

[Joint Dark Energy Research NASA]

-Western Division

-Project Pegasus

-Space Radiation Facility 

"All personnel, please proceed to the evacuation site immediately. I repeat, all personnel…" The agent on the PA system is warning the reached on the research base to go to the designated evacuation vehicles. Hundreds of agents, researchers, and workers are evacuating the entire site. 

"Dr. Selvig read an energy source from the Tesseract about four hours ago," Phil Coulson is briefing Nick Fury and Maria Hill about the situation on the site. When the others are running to evacuate, the trio moves against the crowd to get to the testing site where the Tesseract is.

Walking briskly, Fury said to Coulson, "NASA didn't authorize Selvig for testing." 

"He wasn't testing it. Wasn't even in the room. Spontaneous event." 

"It just turned itself on?" Maria Hill who is walking two steps behind Fury interjected. 

"What is the energy level now?" Fury asks. 

"Climbing. Selvig couldn't shut it down. We ordered Evac. The campus should be cleared in the next half hour." Coulson said before he stopped walking as Fury reached the entrance to get down to the testing area. 

"Do better," Fury ordered. Coulson nodded and left Fury's side to help the agents evacuate.

"Sir, evacuation may be unnecessary. If we can't contain the tesseract energy, there may not be a minimum safe distance," Hill said solemnly while Fury and she were running down the stairs. 

"I need you to make sure the Phase 2 prototype is shipped out," Fury ordered Maria Hill.

"Sir, is that really a priority right now?" Hill said accusingly. Are weapons more important than lives?

"Until that time where the world ends, we will act as if it intends to spin on," Fury turns back to look Maria Hill in the eye while he says this. Hill nods reluctantly and orders a few agents to follow her to get the weapons. Fury goes down to the Tesseract place alone. 

He meets Dr. Selvig and asks him about the situation. However, Selvig isn't sure what is happening. The energy keeps spiking up. 

"We prepared for this doctor. Harnessing energy from space," Fury said to Selvig. When it is confirmed that the cube can open up an Einstein-Rosen bridge, they have become more careful in researching it. 

"But we don't have the harness. My calculation is far from complete," Selvig answered. The device that can siphon off the cube's energy isn't ready yet.

"And she's throwing off interference. Radiation. Nothing harmful, just low-level gamma radiation," Selvig added. 

"That…can be harmful," Fury said while the figure of the green monster flashed inside his mind. He goes to meet with agent Barton who is hypothesizing whatever it is that interfering with the tesseract isn't from this side of the door. 

*Dup* A massive amount of energy is pulsing around the Tesseract. The vibration can be felt even at the edge of the campus. Fury and Barton's eyes are on the Tesseract. 

The cube shoots out bright light to the platform in front of it. It opened up a circular gate to the universe. Fury saw some stars inside the portal. 

'That must be what Captain is talking about.'

The energy of the portal destabilized and the doorway was disconnected. An amalgamation of space energy congregates on top of the basement ceiling. The raw energy is pulsing, waiting to feed. 

In the short interval of the opened doorway, a pale man was transferred here on earth. He is kneeling with one knee, while slowly showing his face to the agent. He stood up calmly despite his weakness. His forehead is sweating and he has a deep eye bag on his face. To transfer from the other side of the universe, he had been gathering and holding dark energy inside of him. 

"Sir, put down the spear!" yelled Fury at the man.

The man tilted his head, seemingly unable to understand the ant speaking to him. Without warning, he shoots out an energy blast from the scepter toward Fury. Barton's eyes widened and he grabbed Fury to move him out of the way. Barton barely manages to avoid the director's fate of being mutilated. 

*Ratatata* The other agents are shooting at the man with the scepter with their rifles. However, a bullet cannot penetrate the man's skin. Or even his clothes. The intruder jumped toward the man shooting at him and stabbing the scepter into the agent's chest. The agent lost his life instantly. 

The intruder throws two small knives toward the next of the other agents and kills the last one who is attacking him. Tina Banko and Eric Selvig, the researcher who is studying the tesseract, try to stabilize the cube, but the intruder shoots out a blast of energy toward the equipment, heavily injuring Tina Banko, the NASA researcher.

The intruder's eyes are moving quickly assessing the situation while panting his breath. He is still weak right now. In his weakened state, he had reaped the lives of 20 fully trained Shield agents. 

"You have heart," He grabbed the hand of the most skillful agent there, Clint Barton, and put his scepter on the agent's chest. Guided by magic, the energy from the scepter seeps into Barton's mind, making his loyalty to Shield change to serve the man in front of him. 

While the intruder is turning his enemy into the subordinate, Fury is putting the Tesseract inside the previous briefcase to bring it out of there. He couldn't let the cube fall into the enemy's hand. Fury is turning his back on the enemy to run with the briefcase, but his action isn't escaping the intruder's sight. 

"Please don't," The intruder said, warning Fury. He finally catches his breath to be able to talk, albeit weakly.

"This doesn't have to get any messier,"  Fury advised the man with a slight warning. He notices that the main target is the cube. More reason he couldn't let the intruder get it. 

"Of course it does. I've come too far for anything else…" The intruder said weakly. He had paid a big price to come to earth. If he doesn't get the Tesseract now, it will all be for naught. 

"I am Loki, of Asgard. And I am burdened with a glorious purpose…" The intruder introduces himself. 

"Loki, brother of Thor?" Dr. Selvig, who is tending to Tina Banko, puts her injured body on the ground. A few months of working side by side had made Dr. Selvig have a good impression on the woman. She too has the same feeling, that she asks Selvig for a cup of coffee in her quarter after their research today. 

"We have no quarrel with your people…" Fury said.

"An ant, have no quarrel with a boot," Loki said menacingly but with a calm tone. 

"Are you planning to step on us?" Fury raised his eyebrow.

"I come with glad tidings…" Loki grinned and walked to Dr. Selvig. He stopped and turned his back toward the old man. To prepare for his dramatic action. 

"Of a world made free…" Loki tries to show Fury his point of view.

"Free from what?" 

"Freedom,"  Loki said calmly. He then continues. " Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept it in your heart…"  Loki turned suddenly and pointed the spear at Selvig's chest, controlling him too. His mind cheered for his performance. Too bad none of the mortals knows how to appreciate it. 

"...you will know peace." 

Barton is observing the entire situation. He realizes that Fury is too calm in this situation. 

"Sir, Director Fury is stalling. This place is about to blow. And drop 100 feet of rock on top of us," Barton walked next to Loki while looking at the energy pulsing on the ceiling, growing while destroying everything it touches. 

"He means to bury us," Barton got an order in his mind. To protect Loki and to help him in his journey. 

"Like the pharaoh of old," Fury smiles. Watching Barton had completely turned into the enemy side, Fury felt a little jealous that the scepter wasn't in his hand. 

"He is right. The portal is collapsing on itself. We got maybe two minutes before the thing goes critical," The controlled Dr. Selvig reads the calculation on the computer and figures out the situation almost instantly. His mind had been greatly expanded by the scepter. 

"Well then," Loki signaled. Barton shoots Fury instantly, and he grabs the briefcase from the old man. Loki with 4 of his entourage is commandeering a vehicle to get out of the campus site.

Fury groaned as he pulled the bullet from his bulletproof vest. He radioed Maria Hill and she started to chase down the traitors. Fury gets out of the place quickly as the whole campus is about to blow. He gets inside the helicopter to run away. The energy is pulsing again, and it causes cracks all over the building. 

In front of the amalgamation of energy in the basement,  space seems to be distorted. A cut, a hole, a cube. Then, the space is finally connected. Another man suddenly appears inside the basement test site. 

"The energy is interfering with me teleporting here. Interesting…" Ryan in his Eclipse's magic suit appeared in front of the accumulating energy. He can feel the tremendous power inside the energy sphere in front of him. 

"Let's see if this works," Ryan said, a little worried. It is his first time encountering the infinity stones. The only reference he got is when Mephisto shared with him the technique he used before.

*Bam* He throws four black rods into a diamond shape surrounding the energy. Then, he throws a 30-centimeter tall battery to the floor beneath it. 

Holding a golden-red staff, he guided the violent energy into the black rod. His robe flutters in the wind as the minor rejection are making a strong wind blast. If he was an ordinary man, he would have been pushed into the wall. 

"Urghhh!!!" He groaned as the process was consuming his mental prowess. The energy on the black rod shots down to the battery beneath it. *Zing* The Battery is showing signs that it is holding the energy. 

"ARGHHHH, FASTER YOU LITTLE (Bleep) (Bleep) Mother ( bleep)!!" He cursed non-stop as the violent energy was tearing into his hand. It flows along with his hand to his heart, where the magic circuit is now swallowing the intruding energy. The energy didn't hurt him at all, but he felt an invisible pain. 

20 seconds later, all the space energy from the infinity stone is sucked into the battery. "Fuh, that was exhausting," he plopped on the ground, trying to catch his breath. 

The rod helps stabilize it before it is transferred into the battery. Ryan has siphoned off the energy that Shield wanted to use to create their version of Hydra weapons. He held the battery in his hand. 

"With this, I can supply 1000 Hydra tanks with power for about a year,"

There are a lot of things he can make with the energy. To let it be used to destroy the research campus is a waste. Not to mention the energy can interfere with the space between realms. 

"Ugh.." A slow groan is coming from behind Ryan, snapping him out of his imagination. He sees the female researcher is still breathing.

"It must be your lucky day today," He said, joking to the unconscious researcher. He cast a magic spell to help her get out of the critical state and carried her in his arms. He teleported outside the campus with the woman and put her inside an infirmary.

Fury is confused. Why hasn't the building exploded? But he doesn't have time to deal with that. His helicopter is trying to intercept the car with the traitors, but Loki shoots down the helicopter using an energy blast. Maria Hill's car also had been shot with a similar blast a mile back.

The director has no choice but to let the car drive away. He has no more men to intercept the car. He contacted the other agent using the radio.

"The tesseract is with a hostile force. Hill, find out what happened to the energy inside the building. Why has it disappeared?"

"Roger that sir," Hill said, wiping the blood on her head while getting out of the car wreckage. If the explosion happened, it would take a lot of life. Hill will soon find out about the man who had saved a lot of agents from the researcher in the infirmary.

"Sound a general call. I want every soul not working on rescue looking for the briefcase," Fury ordered Hill again. 

"Coulson, get back to base. This is level 7," Fury said solemnly. Coulson and Hill are listening with the realization of the order's purpose. Their faces are grim, waiting for the next play. 

Fury takes a deep breath. "As of right now, the world is at war…"

"... What do we do?" Coulson asks the director. Fury looks at the trail of the Asgardian. There is only one thing he can do. 

He pressed the radio and informed his close subordinates. Coulson's eyes widened after he heard the order. 

"Are you sure?" Coulson had to clarify.

"Yes. We need… the Avengers."

Side Chapter 11: Grandpa and Grandchild. ( a little unhinged. 18+. Skip it if you feel uncomfortable)

Knightland, Florida.

Kai is bringing some kids to the theme park to enjoy their summer vacation. He is holding a few ice cream cones using both hands to give them to Arana and Anya. 

Suddenly, he felt a vibration on the ground, coming from 50 miles away. 

"Lana, why don't you take the kids and Skye to the spinning cups," Kai said to his clinic assistant. Skye is a little surprised as Kai always brings the kids everywhere. Miles, Arana, Anya, Ned, and Peter are all here. 

"Kai, is there something wrong?" Skye said in a whisper. 

"Not quite sure yet," Kai replied in a hushed voice. It is summer so he didn't wear a coat. Just a simple long-sleeved white shirt and jeans.

"If I text you, then evacuate immediately." Kai patted Skye on the head before he got out of the theme park. Outside the surveillance radius, he summoned his wings and flew toward the source of the vibration he was feeling. 

When he is near, he stops in the air as he is trying to process the abomination in front of him. He rubs his eyes a few times, in disbelief about what is happening. 

"What in the world??" His eyes widened. Goosebumps appear all over his body. In front of him, there is a 20-meter-long tentacles monster, with each tentacle displaying a part that should be in mosaic. The monster is chasing a duo. 

The grandfather who has blue hair and blue eyebrows. His hair is pointy like a sunflower, and the back of his head is bald. He is wearing a white lab coat and a blue shirt. He is drooling on his face, seemingly intoxicated. He is trying to build something as he runs.

The grandson is wearing a yellow shirt. He is running with all of his might. His hand is fluttering at the back as all of his strength is in his leg. He screams at his grandpa.

"We're gonna die, Rick, we gonna die, we are going to die being (bleep) in the ass by a d*ck-tentacle and eaten by the v*g*na mouth with feet as its teeth!!"

"Look Morty, we are in 3-D…(Burppppp) I told you to put the creature at home Morty..(puke in his mouth, then swallows), it feeds on obsessions, Morty. Why didn't you listen to me?"

Morty said angrily, "I didn't think you're going to bring me to a freak convention, Rick. Who in their right mind will bring a 10-year-old there?" 

Well…Rick brought Morty there to have some fun. The freak will enjoy pleasuring Morty very much. A 10-year-old in a freak convention is a hot commodity amongst the aliens. Nothing sexual in the convention, just licking and taking pictures there. 

"It had sucked all the freak's obsession, Morty. (fart) it won't stop until all the obsession is fulfilled," Rick is trying to portal away, but the portal gun in his hand was whipped away by a grandmother's saggy t*ts and is broken. 

Seemingly excited, one of the tentacles is spurting white fluid to the duo. "Noo Rick help me!" Morty opened his mouth to scream. He should have closed it quickly, but he didn't. 

"Just enjoy it, Morty. Just enjoy it being slathered all over your body but continue running," Rick said. He is almost done fixing the portal. 

However, at this time, Kai uses a wind barrier to stop the white fluid from squirting all over the people there. 

"Shriek!!!" The monster screamed from its vertically split mouth that resembles a private part. 

"Can you not? I am trying to keep things PG-13 here!" Kai flew in a supersonic flight and kicked the monster with all his might. His leg is dug deep into the monster's body, a mixture of slime, softness, and something hard, before the shockwave comes and the monster flies a hundred meters backward. 

"Ew..ew ew ew ew gross!!!!" Kai is cleaning his leg. The monster fluid is slathered there. 

"A SUPERHERO RICK! WE ARE SAVED!" Morty screams in excitement.

"We must be in a superhero universe, Morty. It's been a while since I stumbled into one," Rick said while studying Kai. The flying man is giving him precious time to fix the portal gun.

"Old man, what is that thing?" Kai asks the duo. It is the grossest monster he ever met. 

"It's an…(burppppppppppppppppppppppppp)"

Kai is waiting a while but the burp doesn't stop.

"Kid. Tell me?" He turns to Morty instead. The burp still doesn't stop. 

"That's a bewilderment beast. It is a cute, cuddly, shaped like an octopus beast before it turned into that," Morty pointed to the beast in front of them. The beast is recollecting itself. It is using his man-part tentacles to spit lube toward the hurt place. The masochist side of the beast wanted Kai to kick him more. It is looking at Kai lovingly that he had goosebumps.

"(Burp stop) You can't kill it. It won't die unless the obsession is fulfilled. Anyway, Have fun. " Rick shoots his portal gun, making a green gateway portal to another universe.

"You're going to keep the monster here? There is a theme park full of kids nearby!!" Kai widened his eyes. The man in front of him is clearly clever enough to solve the problem. He just doesn't want to.

"What do you want me to do? Throw me at it and let it have its way with me? Maybe on a Saturday night but I am so busy right now," Rick slides down the mouth gag that is hanging by his pocket deeper so that he won't lose it. Another party is waiting for him at the convention.

Kai stares at the old man. "You know what. Please leave. Civilians shouldn't get involved in a hero business. It's not like you can do anything about it," He takes out his sword and goes to fight the monster. 

"Let's go, Morty!" Rick pulled his grandson's shirt and dragged him into the portal. 

"But…A superhero Rick!" Morty is reluctant to leave. However, Rick throws him inside the portal before he jumps inside. 

The tentacle skin is so hard that Kai with all of his strength couldn't cut through. The more Kai is fighting it, the harder it is. Veins pop out at the tentacle's skin, seemingly ready for another explosion.

"Did I just help it get off?" Kai is disgusted. What kind of universe sick mind produces something like this. 

He is fighting a 'hard' battle. Shield is alerted of the monster entering the vicinity of the theme park. A squadron of Shield agents and quiet is coming here. 

"Should I throw it at the Kree Mother planet?" Kai is thinking about what to do in case his gamble doesn't pay off. But today his luck is good as his gamble is working.

*ziu* The green portal opened again. "What do you mean I can't do anything about it? Do you know who I am?" Rick takes out an energy siphon that he grabs back at home and starts to drain the obsession energy on the monster. 

"That's why…(burp) superheroes are annoying…" Rick said. Kai smiles at the old man. Rick then realizes something. 

"Oh, you're good. You're really good," Rick said in admiration. Kai purposely uses Rick's ego to make sure he helps. 

Kai is holding off the monster back from Rick so that it will not interfere in the process. A minute later, the monster returned to become a cute and cuddly octopus with big eyes. 

"Now if you will excuse me. I have some matter to tend to," Rick put on the mouth gag and opened up a portal back to the convention. He almost leaves the octopus there but Kai throws it inside the portal before it closes. 

"Wait. The monster feeds on obsession right? Did I make a mistake throwing it after the old man?" Kai stopped in his tracks. But with Shield nearby, he flew back into the Knightland after he took a long bath to cleanse himself. 

Many Shield agents are cordoning the area.

"Sir, we found nothing but buckets and buckets of s*men." An agent is reporting to Sitwell who is curious about the thing that smells like pineapple. Sitwell's eyes widened and he quickly took out his finger from his mouth and tried to puke out the fluid. 

In another universe. 

A giant mosaic monster is attacking the convention. However, the people there are looking at it like a Messiah.

"I was wrong. I didn't have to bring it away," Rick said before he took off his clothes and jumped on top of the monster.
