Earth,

Capitol Hill, United States Senate

Vice President Rupert Hawk was the one presiding over the Senate. He was a native American, the same person who helped Hector bring together the Native clans and bring prosperity to them. He was the first-ever Vice President from the native community. Kennedy had to face a bit of heat for selecting him initially, but he shut all mouths by reciting his achievements.

Kennedy had another year left in office. Since he was juiced with Super Soldier Serum, even in his late 70s, he was as fit as a guy in his 40s. He could have run many more times, but Hector had passed the law of limiting two terms before he left.

Today, Senator Erik Lensherr King was introducing a new bill, which, if passed here, would go to the House of Representatives. [A/N: Bills could be introduced in both houses.]

"I believe that if my father were among us, he too would have wanted the same to happen. It's a fact that for years now, the X-Men and other gifted ones have helped humanity in times of crisis. But still, they are not given the same rights as others. They still have to hide. The law does not have a clause to protect them either. We do not even consider them humans, so they don't have the constitution on their side either.

"Their status has been made lower than animals since we have PETA for even those. So I am introducing the Extended Civil Rights Bill to ensure all people are treated equally."

...

That evening, Erik found himself sitting in the school for gifted children's principal's office, looking dejected. "This was the second time, Charles. They once again voted against a bill that would only make this nation stronger."

Charles passed him a glass of water, "Calm down, Erik, you knew this fight will be long. All those politicians can't just agree. The hate runs deep, and they are merely the people's representatives."

"Then how did the old man bring Civil Rights in the 40s? When Jim Crow laws were so popular?"

Raven entered and started massaging Erik's head, "Well, that's because he was him, and we are we. Mister President did things that the world is still learning about. Who knows what else he did to bring all politicians under one umbrella. But ever since he's gone, new representatives and senators are getting elected. These were never involved with him. So now the mentality is changing, sadly for the worse."

Erik held her hand, his wife. "We have done so much over the years. The X-Men are loved around the world. But why won't they forgo their hate?"

*KNOCK KNOCK*

Just then, the door opened, and an older man walked in. Charles welcomed him, "I didn't think you would come here, President Kennedy,"

"Hah, I'm not so weak yet. Sit-sit, I just came to have a few words with you two. Both of you are Senators, pretty powerful in the gifted one's communities. But I advise you not to do anything drastic. The old man left me a few notes. He wrote that civil rights for gifted ones can't be brought until the world has a bigger enemy to pour their combined hate on. Currently, they see the X-Gene holders as a threat."

"And when will that happen?" Erik asked.

"Soon, he had written that the next century would be very turbulent for humanity and planet Earth in general. There will be plenty of enemies for people. You can still try, but never do something that would destroy the years of hard work and name the X-Men have earned." Kennedy warned him. But in reality, in his notebook, Hector had written that he must tell all this to Erik especially.

"I hope he returns soon," Charles said with a sigh.

"He should return soon, Jean has grown now and misses him," Raven complained.

Kennedy chuckled, "Give him a little break. He's out there to help Earth eventually. He may have retired, but he's still doing the duty of the President,"

...

Back in space, a great armada of warships was headed to an icy planet in the Moran star system of the Kree Empire. A total of ten clans were taking part in this job. The prominent leaders' clans were the Freedom clan and four more clans whose captains Yondu was friends with.

In total, 69 warships were headed out. Among them, 11 warships belonged to Hector, with one being his leading ship, Freedom One. The firepower was enough to decimate any planet in the Universe as long as it did not have significant defences.

Here, they were talking about a planet taken over by pirates and mercenaries. These thieves were anything but united. Instead, each faction had divided the planet into patches of land among themselves and now even waged war on each other.

Their main reason for coming to the planet was a rare mineral mine of Vibranium. Moran was a planet that had just entered the age of space a century ago. They were still developing new technology and better ships. So when they found Vibranium, the Moran government, instead of selling it, hoped to use it to advance themselves in secret.

But the former Commander in Chief of the planet's defence, who led the planet's defence forces, staged a coup and hired mercenaries to do it. Eventually, he himself ended up getting assassinated as the hired mercenaries and pirates found what treasure the planet was. Soon, as the word spread around, more goons came.

It didn't catch the eye of the Kree Empire as later it was found the Vibranium was so little that they'd rather buy it than mine it. It could have been crucial for Moran's people, though. But, the mercenaries and pirates didn't care. They still wanted it. And hence, constant wars were raging. The local species were enslaved for mining and a great many vicious things.

"That's the situation with Moran right now. Our first step is the easiest; it's to destroy their ability to provide support from space. So we are to destroy or take over enemy ships.

"The main problem is the land fight. In total, there are about 15,000 of us. Not enough to make a difference, but I think we will be able to inflict severe damage with the help of sorcerers, Moony and Krugarr.

"We don't know the ground reality. Hopefully, there are not too many. Any more questions?" Hector briefed the captains about the mission. There was not much to say, however. They had no way to gather intel about the ground reality.

Stakar raised his hand, "You said you want to take Enemy ships? How would you or we do that? Do you want to focus on land fighting or air first?"

Hector smirked, "Don't worry, I have someone who's utterly strong and can take over any machine. The vacuum of space doesn't affect him, so it'll be fine. Let me call him,"

Hector swung his right hand. Out of nowhere, air brushed past everyone's faces. Then a small cloud of black smoke appeared, giving off a warm sensation.

"Grrr..."

A growl came, and all those who didn't know who this was felt goosebumps. This felt like some occult stuff. *BAM* In an instant, they all stood up and aimed their guns. From the cloud came out Skull Knight H, fire raging in the place of his head. Then he kneeled in front of Hector, "I am at your service, Lord Inquisitor,"

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" Mainframe shouted, pointing his mechanical arm.

Skull Knight introduced himself, "I am the vanquisher of sinners, the light that ends darkness. I am the Spirit of Vengeance, my lord's loyal servant,"

(•ˋ _ ˊ•)(●__●)(⚆_⚆)(◉_◉)

They all looked at the Skull Knight in wonder. Then, *Slurp* "Does it have a cock?" A drunk Ravager clan captain, Hongsing Kaing, asked.

Hector honestly had no idea, so he too stared at the Skull Knight, "Do you?"

"In my skeleton body, no. In this... I shall show you,"

He quickly stopped him, "NO! No no... it's fine, Skull Knight. We were just kidding. No need to show that. I'm sure Romulus had a big pecker,"

He had nearly forgotten that Romulus was a 7-foot tall beast. There was no way he had a small dick.

*CLAP CLAP*

Adam redirected everyone's focus back to the task, "Let's get back to work. We are not getting paid to see hell's demon penis, captains."

Hector just sighed. Adam has yet to learn what not to say in public.
