Chapter 32: Another Poor Guy

Inside the British Museum.

Andy is trying to restore the historical artefacts and the damage they caused earlier, using 'matter manipulation' and 'telekinesis' really compliement each other very well making his job easier.

Fortunately, the situatiom inside the museum is not known by the authorities and the guard outside were still unconscious.

After placing a new Staff of One on the display case, he turned his attention to the three witches and asked, "Right, what are you trying to do about this staff?"

He still don't know about their true purpose by taking away the Staff of One.

The three look at each other and then decided to tell the truth since it's no use of hiding this, then Lady Linnea honestly answered, "We need this magical relic to realease a member of our witch alliance trapped on the Dark Dimension."

"I also needed her to tech me more dark magic." Agatha Harkness said, because if there was someone who can teach her more knowledge about dark magic, then it's a witch who survived on the dark dimension.

Andy nodded, it's not a surprised that they will rescue her because she is a also part of their group, even Agatha is a power hungry woman and will do anything to learn more magic.

Actually, he was more surprised to say that Witch Alliance could tolerate the kind of Agatha, Selene, and Morgan.

"What else?" He look at Selene, wondering how she will accompanied them and participated in this.

Selene thought for a moment, then decide to sell her friend, "We need Morgan le Fay to perform a ritual to our fellow witch."

She knows when she said this, Andy will get intrigue and will try to find her friend. Well, she think its better for her sister to end up the same fate with them, it's not fair if they were the only one who suffers.

"Hm? Who is she." Just like she expected, Andy really got curious.

Seeing that he is hooked up with the information, Selene replied, "Her name is Candra, just like me an immortal mutant and sorceress."

"What?" Andy was a bit surprised and quickly asked, "Where is she now?"

Selene was confused by his reaction but still answered, "Inside the dimension, waiting for our return."

"..." Well, what can he say? it's impossible for him go to the witch dimension to subdued her, but he still asked, "Can you contact her to go out of the dimension?"

"Unfortunately, we can't." Selene shook her head, they doubt that they can still go back to the dimension since its possible that Laday Zhered-Na already knows about their situation with her precognitve ability.

Even them were still confused why they're not warned by her before leaving the dimension, it's like she decided to deliver or sold them to Andy.

"Oh, i see." Andy shook his head regretfully.

He is really a bit surprised knowing Candra existed, she is also a powerful mutant and member of the Externals.

"Then what about the ritual you are talking about?" Andy asked curiosly.

"We don't know, she only said it needed five powerful witches to perform the ritual."

Hearing this, Andy instantly thought about the Heart Stone or Heart-Gem.

In the comics after developing her knowledge of sorcery as well as her mutant powers, she summoned her five fellow Externals including Apocalypse and Selene to perform a ritual, since only the fellow Externals can kill them, she used her talent to transfer the external essence of her heart into a gemstone, and hoped to hide it away so she could preserved her life and cannot be killed by her fellow Externals to truly become immortal.

Although the ritual is a success, but at a cost she is weakened and vulnerable without the gem beside her, and she also needed the gem if she wanted access to her full abilities.

It seemed she is trying to do the same thing by inviting five powerful witches to perform a ritual.

Andy decide not to think about her for now, he is sure that woman will not stay still in the dimension, the ritual is just to important for her.

"Oh, i almost forgot to ask... what do you mean by saying that Selene would still be trapped inside the forest if you didn't rescue her." Andy recalled the argument of Selene and Agatha earlier.

From the situation of Selene, her life experience is not the same in the comics and didn't experience anything about Rome or someone who would be trapped on the town of Nova Roma inside the Amazon forest.

"Selene? this idiot snuck out of the dimension 600 years ago and tried to rule a civilization to practice her mutant power."

"Shut up bitch, don't say it." Selene quickly approach Agatha and covered her mouth to prevent her from exposing her embarassment.

Seeing this, Andy just look at Lady Linnea to continued the story.

Lady Linnea showed an apologetic smile to Selene then said, "During her reign as Black Priestess in Aztec Civilization, she encountered 10 powerful being... Sensing their body contained a very strong life force, she got greedy and tried to captured them but she is eventually defeated and was imprisoned by them for 400 years."

"Fortunately when we rescued her later, only one powerful guy remained and build a settlement deep within the Peruvian Amazonia."

Andy is speechless after hearing this story, looking at the embarass Selene, he could only say 'Girl, you are to arrogant.'

If he guessed right, the 10 people she encountered is the 10 Eternals.

In the movie, that is the time period when Druig decided to split with his fellow Eternals and would playing a civilization game without war deep inside the amazon forest by controlling the minds of the fighting Spaniards and Aztec people.

Even Andy will not understimate the combined effort of the battle hardened 10 Eternals, especially if they have a powerful Celestial Daddy backing them, Arishem the Judge.

And because of Arishem the Judge, he is having a second thought of touching them given the fact that he already obtained 'immortality' even the exclusive ability of Phastos 'Constructs Creation' is not appealing anymore.

With the 'Matter Manipulation' and 'Telekinesis' of Apocalypse and he can obtained an advance technology from his next destination.

-----

While Andy and the others is restoring the mess in the British Museum.

Agnes Cully and Violet quickly mobilized all the Masque Group in Los Angeles, California.

Their mission is to find a religious Preacher capable of healing.

Well, that Preacher really doesn't have an extraordinary abilities of healing power, he's just using an advance technology of his own civilization to perform the so-called miracles.

After unlocking the new power of sorcery and some of the abilities of Apocalypse, Agnes quickly opened a portal to Los Angeles.

After arriving with Violet, they were greeted by some high levels member of Masque Group in charge of seacrhing the target.

"Did you find the target?" Agnes nodded to them and asked.

"Yes, Madame... The target will start preaching inside a tent on a remote location this morning." The subordinate quickly replied and said the adress of the remote town.

"Is that so? good job." Agnes nodded in satisfaction, then look at Violet and said, "Let's go."

They opened a portal again and step inside, what came into their view is a large tent in the distance.

Violet looked around and ask in doubt, "So....what are we looking for?"

Agnes Cully glanced at her and said, "Well, we are looking for an Alien and to capture him."

"Wow, Really... Then what does the alien look like." Violet said in amazement.

"Silly girl! Of course i don't know, this will also be my first time seeing one." Agnes rolled her eyes at her silliness, of course the symbiote is not in included.

"Based on the description of our Dear, our target is an alien life of extra long live species made of pure light, their civilization is called Gibborim."

"Get ready and used the Staff of One to create a barrier to trapped him, it said that this guy is difficult to capture and could possessed someone quickly if we didn't pay attention to him." Agnes reminded her.

"It's not like he can do anything to us." Violet stuck out her tongue.

Agnes and Violet summoned a Staff of One and cast a huge barrier to covered the huge tent in the distance.

Meanwhile inside the tent, The Preacher or The Magistrate is arranging the chairs for his morning sermon when he suddenly sense an energy covering his surroundings.

"What happened?" The Magistrate is having a bad feeling after sensing this, he focused his sight at at the entrance of the tent.

It didn't take long for him to hear the footsteps and two women entering the tent in his sight.

The Magistrate tried to act calm and like an amiable old man, he asked them with a smile, "Ladies, what brings you here earlier in the morning, my sermon will start in 6."

"We are not here for the sermon, we are here to capture you, a Gibborim." Violet said straight to the topic to tease him.

"How do you know my origins." The Magistrate stared at them with a shock.

"Enough of chitchat, just captured him quickly." Agnes said coldy and waved the staff to cast a binding spell.

"Not a chance." Seeing that the other woman started, The Magistrate has no choice but to fight back.

His body suddenly glowed in white light, he raised his right hand and project a light beam to deflect the binding magic.

Violet just watch the scene on the side and cheered for Agnes, "Woah, amazing.... go and bring him down.".

Seeing thaglt he can deflect the binding magic, Agnes pointed the staff to him and shoot a continuous magic energy beam.

The Magistrate also raised his other hand to counter her magic.

The inside of the tent bathe in bright light and the furniture is being destroyed.

You can see The Magistrate's light beam and Agnes' magic energy colliding.

The situation quickly come into stalemate.

"Andy is right, you are really strong but what about this." Agnes decided to strengthen her magic output.

In the [Runaways], he is shown to holding his grounds against the PRIDE and Runaways.

The energy beam of Agness suddenly become huge and stronger.

The Magistrate was caught off guard and was blast back by the magic energy.

After he landed, his body is swallowed to the ground leaving only the face.

Agnes use the famous stunt of Apocalypse on the movie.

Seeing that he cannot move for a while, she summoned a symbiote and throw it at his exposed face.

The symbiote quickly seeped into his every spores and succesfully possesed him.

When The Magistrate see the black slime drilled into his body, he decided to abandoned his body quickly.

A ball of white light suddenly leave the body of the old preacher, and quickly formed to a humanoid colorful light.

"Hmmp, you think you can capture me with that weird looking black goo, naive!" The Magistrate sneered and quickly flew to the cheering Violet.

He will try to possessed this idiot looking woman, although its uncomfortable occupying the body of a woman, he has no other option since he can't survive in the earths atmosphere without a host.

Agnes just stared at him desperately flying to Violet and expresionlessly said, "You are the naive one here."

Violet on the other hand was surprised at his decision, she stared at him blankly and raised the staff to to generate a force field in front and bounced him back.

Agnes just shook her head and activated the symbiote lurking in his body.

"Whaaaat? what's going on?" The Magistrate was surpised and wondering how there was a symbiote in his energy body.

His voiced stop and he was quickly covered by the symbiote, sealing him inside.

Agnes used telekinesis to lift the symbiote with the size of basketball, containing the energy body of the Magistrate.

This is the confidence of Andy, as long as the symbiote succesfully attached to someone, it cannot escape from his palm even if it decided to abandon its physical body to become any type of energy bodies.

"Let's go the crater and wait for our Dear." Agnes said to Violet, she quickly walked out of the destroyed tent followed by the floating symbiote ball.

"Yes, I'm excited to see an alien spaceship." Violet hopped and tried poked and playing the floating symbiote ball, teasing the poor guy inside.
