:Marvel Universe:

"Attention, everyone! We need all hands on deck! Stop that, Jetta!"

Never in his life did Phil anticipate he would say those words, but life always had a way of surprising him.

As his urgent command echoed through the radio waves, a flurry of agents sprang into action, swiftly retrieving their weapons.

The most logical thing to do was to shoot out the tires to stop the vehicle from moving.

*Ding! Ding! Ping!*

However, as they quickly found out, bullets were useless.

They were being blocked.

"They are shooting at us!!" shouted Gwen as she ducked her head down.

Living in New York had exposed her to its fair share of danger, but the intensity of the current situation surpassed anything she had encountered before.

Whoever prepares for this such a thing?

"I know! But it won't work," Emil replied, swerving to the left to avoid a few attackers blocking his path. He was no pro driver, but his increased stats increased his reaction time, and by feeling the qi around him, he could get a general idea of what was happening around him.

"How do you know?" It wasn't logical to trust someone you haven't known for less than 30 minutes.

"Just trust me!" And his answer didn't make it any better.

"Oh, absolutely! That's exactly what I should do!" she exclaimed, her frustration evident in her voice.

She didn't quite have a choice in the matter, but somehow she couldn't help but feel that the unfolding chaos was somehow connected to her own actions.

'Why does this feel familiar to me?... Am I always going to be the problem?...' Gwen frowned.

"Bark!" Lambert, who had been quiet for some time, sensed the woman's unease, and like a gentleman dog, he consoled her with gentle licks on the face.

Gwen's lips curled into a grateful smile as she addressed Lambert. "Thank you," she expressed, appreciating his presence amidst the chaos.

While her problem was temporality solved, Emil was having a crisis of his own.

'Mona?! Where are you? I need you?!'

No matter what he did, Mona wasn't responding to him, which was strange as she was supposed to be his sentient system.

'Mona, can you hear me?! Mona?!'

There was still no response.

'FUCK!' Emil mentally cursed, his teeth clenched tightly in frustration.

'Shouldn't she be with me all the time? Or is something blocking her connection?' He contemplated.

However, regardless of what happened, without Mona, he couldn't envision a positive outcome without her vast knowledge and expertise.

She may have kept secrets and was a general asshole to him, but there was no denying she made things simple for him.

Perhaps he depended on her too much...

"The target is getting away!"

In an act of desperation, one of the attackers resorted to pulling out an RPG.

*BOOM!*

Fortunately, Emil had his trusty storage ring.

As the missile hurtled towards them, it met an invisible qi barrier generated by the ring, causing it to explode harmlessly, sparing them from its destructive force.

The reason why the projectiles weren't working was because of the third ability. He could think about it after he had already torn up the car.

'I wish I could go back in time.' Emil let out a frustrated groan, his grip on the steering wheel tightening as he pushed the car to its maximum speed. Despite the challenging circumstances, he remained resolute, determined to outmaneuver their pursuers and ensure their safety.

As a relentless downpour engulfed the surroundings, visibility became next to nothing. Unfortunately, their pursuers were undeterred by the adverse weather conditions, and some of them swiftly hopped into their own vehicles, determined to continue the chase.

"What are we going to do?" Gwen hurriedly asked.

Even if they somehow get away, Emil has no clue where they are nor how to get back, and the lack of a certain woman makes the situation worse.

Could they surrender? Probably.

Unfortunately, Emil has seen enough science fiction moves that show that 9 out of 10 times, surrendering was a bad idea.

Those weren't good odds.

"Ok..." Emil exhaled deeply, trying his best to sound calm. "You're going to have to promise me not to freak out."

"..." Gwen gave him a blank stare.

"More than I am now? I'm pretty sure I can't get more freaked out! In fact, if I could get any more freaked, I'll kiss you!"

"Well, about that..."

While all this was happening, the live chat in Liberate was going wild.

[Watchers - 1,001]

The number of watchers surged as the channel was spread by word of mouth.

They were expecting the name of the movie to be posted somewhere, but there was no such thing anywhere.

It was like a ghost.

∆Alaniz - Is this a new kind of movie format?

∆Serina - I don't think so. If it is, I think it's a giant waste to show something of this quality for free.

∆BBGreen14 - I don't care what it is. It's so awesome! I never knew a car like that could really move!

DangerKing has donated $200

∆Does anyone know who this person is?

∆Zathura42 - No, this guy is completely unknown. I heard his name earlier, but I doubt that it was his real name.

As time pressed on, people became more and more curious, but who would have thought their fun would be cut short?

:Marvel Universe:

Hidden within the depths of Nepal, a woman draped in a hooded ceremonial robe sat in serene stillness, assuming a meditative posture. The air around her seemed to carry an aura of significance befitting her esteemed title.

The Ancient One.

Having forsaken her birth name, she had embraced the path of her predecessors, assuming the mantle of the Sorcerer Supreme, the revered leader of the enigmatic and mystical order known as Kamar-Taj.

Her sacred duty entailed safeguarding Earth from the perils of mystical threats, a responsibility she fulfilled by meticulously observing the countless timelines that unfolded across existence. With unwavering vigilance, she would swiftly intervene whenever an anomaly or disturbance threatened the delicate balance of reality.

But now...she was at a loss.

To her astonishment, the timeline she had always relied upon was now shrouded in an impenetrable veil, rendering her sight into the future obscured. It was as if an extraordinary force had erected a barrier that even she, with all her mystical prowess, dared not tamper with.

"What is happening..." She frowned.

A sense of unease crept over her, for this was a power beyond her comprehension, leaving her feeling vulnerable and uncertain of what lay ahead.

^•°^°•^•°^°•^°

:Marvel Universe:

If someone had told Gwen that she would find herself in space, she would have called them insane.

Although outer space had always been an interesting topic, she was more into things such as biology and chemistry.

So when a colossal golden spaceship materialized before her eyes, Gwen's jaw dropped in sheer astonishment, her mind struggling to process the surreal sight before her.

Even the person responsible for the ship was stunned, but in a way that mirrored a child's awe and wonderment, captivated by the sheer magnificence of what they brought forth.

"Hahaha! THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!" Emil shouted, his exhilaration shooting the rough.

"How do you even plan to get on that thing!?" Gwen shouted.

She had hoped he had a plan because, from their vantage point, there seemed to be no visible entrances, and the ship appeared to defy gravity, leaving them perplexed and uncertain of how to proceed.

"Oh, damn... I don't know," Emil muttered, his brow furrowing in confusion and frustration.

"Bark..."

Fortunately, someone seemed to know that their captain was in need of assistance.
