Trick 174: Meeting Ancient Relics

A few minutes later

The three were sitting at a table, drinking coffee and tea as Stephen waved a biscuit, saying "Still, I don't see the issue. That was a different universe." Ace sipped his coffee, replying "You were running from her after she got the Darkhold, you ran into another universe. So you tell me, lock her up or not?" Wong sipped his tea and added, "Most likely she went to mount Wundergore."

Ace waved a finger, saying "Not anymore, hehe~ Plus, I have both Darkholds." Stephen and Wong looked at him in confusion as Ace waved "The one from our Universe and the one from the other universe… You should've seen what I saw in Mordo's private collection…"

He sighed and shook his head, telling them.

Strange's lips twitched as he repeated "MorDO's and MorDON'Ts…" Wong was so confused, asking "The Sorcerer and the Village girl?" they looked at each other in confusion as Ace laughed, "I know! That's what I said!"

He slapped the table and laughed, "Imagine! They were also heavily misinformed. Apparently they were ready to murder your other self just to stop an Incursion." Stephen was stunned, asking "An Incursion? That doesn't make any sense…"

Wong nodded and sighed, "The troubles of other universes are very strange." Ace nodded and sipped his coffee as Wong changed the topic, "And so? You needed a favor?"

Ace snapped his fingers, saying "I almost forgot! I wanted some help finding 3 People. I think they're Wizards or something." he flipped his palm and showed the duo the three faces, adding "The guy is like Superman, the little girl can create illusions, and the other woman seems to have the same powers as me. She turned a Double Decker bus into flower petals."

Wong and Strange looked at the pictures and nodded, replying "No problem." Ace let out a breath and smiled "Thanks, guys." before getting up, stretching his back as he added, "I'll add to the library while I wait."

Wong turned to Strange, asking "You can do it?" Stephen nodded with a thumbs up as Wong led Ace, saying "Let's talk about these additions of yours…"

Around a day later

Ace looked at the extended Library and smiled, "Good, more Sorcerers can get stronger." as he held his hips, sighing slightly.

Wong came over, saying "We found them." Ace let out a breath and smiled, following him to Strange, who said "They were last seen with another 2 to their group in Australia. Right here." as he tapped on an orb.

Ace looked at it carefully before nodding, "Thanks, guys." Stephen and Wong smiled, nodding "No problem." Ace scratched his neck and yawned, adding "I'll see you guys later…" before smirking, "If you need a teacher, you know where to find me. Hehe~"

Stephen waved him off and Wong snickered as Ace disappeared into a puff of smoke.

The next thing Ace knew, he was above a secluded house in Australia.

He looked around, seeing a woman sitting next to a tree before floating to the house, feeling more people inside.

Suddenly, a man shot out of the house and flew at him, eye lasers blazing towards Ace!

Ace was stunned and held out his hand, blocking the lasers with his hand as he asked "Is this how you greet people, normally?" The man frowned and floated across from him, asking "Who are you?"

Ace tilted his head and donned his cloak, saying "You recognize me now?" The man paused and asked "Why is an Avenger here?" Ace reverted to normal, landing on the ground as he walked into the house, seeing a bunch of people at a table, looking at him.

Ace's lips twitched and he said "Hello? Your friend isn't very friendly…" An indian man asked "Not to strangers, you are?" the man from outside came back, saying "Cloak, the Avenger."

The Indian man gasped and said "Ikaris, weren't you just saying you could lead the Avengers?" Ikaris, the fake Superman, looked awkward and Ace looked at him with his arms crossed.

Ikaris waved, saying "Nonsense…" as he glared at the indian man, making a throat cutting motion, before introducing everyone.

Ace came to know their names, the little girl was Sprite, the Indian man was Kingo, the jacked asian guy was Gilgamesh, and the pretty blonde woman was Thena.

The fat indian man introduced himself, smiling "I'm Karun Patel, Kingo's Valet."

Ace smiled at him, turning to the rest, asking "The one outside?" Gilgamesh replied "Sersi. Want some pie?" Ace waved his hand and said "No that's okay, thanks though. Anyway, I'm gonna need you all to leave this planet."

They all froze and Kingo frowned, "Why?" Ace crossed his arms saying "Your Cosmic Energy readings are too strong for this planet. You shouldn't be here to begin with, if one of you snaps thousands can die before anybody is able to do anything about it and I suspect I may be the only one capable of stopping you. So it's a headache for me, get it?"

He held his hand out, adding "Nothing against you guys, honestly. I think you're pretty cool!" he pointed his thumb at Ikaris, "This guy is like Superman! Awesome! However, for the general safety of innocents, I'm sorry but you will have to leave."

Everyone was silent and Karun said sincerely "Sir Cloak, I can safely say that the Eternals are no threat to anyone. I've been with Sir Kingo for 50 years!" Ace smiled at him, saying "I'm sure you have, Mr. Patel. However, the threat is not what they do when they are in control. It's more of what they can do if they go bananas."

Kingo stood up and asked "What if we don't want to leave." Ikaris glared at him, motioning for Kingo to sit down quickly. Ace looked at Kingo, saying "Then I will have no choice but to evacuate you from this planet personally. However, I would advise you to think rationally."

Kingo pointed a finger gun at Ace, a ball of glowing light at the tips, "Can you? Ikaris isn't just like Superman, you know." Ace looked at him with a smile, "I see. You're the clown of the group, I assume?"

Kingo frowned, "Clown?! I'll show you clown!" as he fired an energy bullet at Ace's face.

Ace raised a finger and blocked the energy bullet, smiling "Unfortunately, you've failed to show me anything." as he flicked the energy bullet back, sending Kingo flying through the wall of the house, landing on the ground outside, groaning.

Ace waved and the house reverted to normal as he smiled at everyone, "Sorry. You don't have to go far! I can find a habitable planet for you within a week, unless you can breathe in space, to which you may relocate to the moon. I can even help you build a city on it, it's not an issue."

The Eternals were silent and Sprite muttered "I don't wanna go to the moon…" Gilgamesh held out his hands, saying "Well, sit down, eat a bit, we can talk about this a little more, right?"

Ace looked at him and sat down, saying "I'm not very busy at the moment, please." Gilgamesh let out a breath, smiling "Thanks for fixing my house." Ace smiled, "No problem." as the wall exploded, Kingo running in, shooting bullets at Ace.

Gilgamesh's lips twitched and he said "This is my house, man!" Ace didn't even look at Kingo, pressing the air and asking "How long have you all been on Earth?"

Kingo and all the bullets froze before he was sent flying out of the house like a train, his bullets hitting him one by one and sending him far away, smashing into a hill in the distance.

The wall repaired itself and Sprite swallowed nervously.

Ikaris sat down, replying "7000 years." Ace coughed on water and said "Excuse me?" Gilgamesh explained "We're a Race called Eternals from the Planet Olympia, we were sent here to take care of the Deviants and protect Humanity."

Ace frowned and nodded, "Okay…" Ikaris inserted himself in with an explanation "We didn't fight Thanos because we only deal with Deviants." Ace squinted in thought, saying slowly "Alright…"

Sprite added, "We're under Arishem? The Celestial?"

Ace frowned deeper, a look of confusion appearing on his face, "Yeah?" they all nodded and Ace tilted his head, asking "Only Earth?" Thena frowned for a moment, asking "What does that mean?"

Ace chuckled and served himself a piece of pie, revealing "Well, you see… To my knowledge, this planet 'Olympia'... It doesn't exist." as he scooped the pie into his mouth.

Sprite rolled her eyes, replying "And you know everything about Space?" Ace waved his fork, smiling "Not everything. Only most things. There is a planet Olympus where all the Greek Gods are."

Sprite and the rest were confused, asking "What? That's not possible… We created Athens."

Ace looked at them strangely, chuckling "Wait… You don't believe that you created Myths and Gods do you? Odin, Zeus, etc are all very real people. You guys are funny." as he ate his pie, shaking his head to himself.

The Eternals were all confused and Sersi walked in with Kingo, asking "Hello?" Ace looked over and smiled, "Hello." she smiled at him for a moment before looking at the rest strangely.

Ace cleared his throat and stood up, wiping his mouth with a napkin, smiling, "Now that you're all here, I can send you off."

Ikaris said "Wait. We're not all here. We're missing 3 members." Ace nodded and said "Well, let's go find them. Do you know where they are?" Sersi was confused and Kingo said "I know where one is! Druig is in the Amazon forest!"

Ikaris narrowed his eyes and Kingo gave him a look secretly. Gilgamesh frowned and Ace nodded "Excellent, let's go then." as massive white wings sprouted from his back and wrapped everyone up, disappearing.
