Chapter 99 The Titan problem

POV Nick Tatopoulos

Location: Outside outpost 55

Serizawa: "This does change some things," he said hearing what we find and our new information about the titan.

Fury: "How exactly do a few eggs change things," Nick Fury asked with a cold tone and he received a nod of agreement from the representative of the president of Japan.

Elsie: "The fact that no other titan we have seen so far has produced offspring all we know is that they do but the finer details are completely a mystery to us," she explained.

Mendel: "This would be a great opportunity to observe the young Titans and see their life cycle," he said and got a quick nod from Fury understanding the situation.

Representative: "And what of the dangers this creature and its offspring will pose to Tokyo and other nearby cities and towns not to mention its proximity to a natural park and Mount Fuji all of which are popular tourist and thicker spots," he asked a note of disapproval in his voice.

Serizawa: "I understand your worries me representative that is why we have Heat and our best reader hers working on all angles of the situation," he said respectfully and the Representative nodded.

Fury: "What are we going to do about the missing personnel," he asked and we all glanced at each other.

Nick: "We're working on that sir but the situation is unique and with a lot of unknown factors," I began noticing the glances I was getting from everyone around me.

Representative: "Perhaps we could use the assistants of some of your heroes to deal with this situation," he asked and Fury simply shook his head.

Fury: "The Justice League and the Avengers are on standby or are deployed to other nations at the moment helping prepare for the possible Atlantian threat," he said, and just them a buzz was heard and Serizawa looked down and after a moment, had a smile on his face.

Serizawa: "That may not be a problem I have just got word that Nightfury will be heading to Tokyo and Reed Richards and Susan Storm will be arriving tomorrow," he said.

POV Max Draco

I sat up in my bed the morning sunlight hitting my face just right through the window I stretched and looked around a little confused.

'Huh, I didn't go to my dreamscape this time?' I thought as I got out of bed and went to the living room to make breakfast and get ready to leave for Japan.

[Good morning so when do we leave for Japan]

"Once I've eaten breakfast ill make a clone and set off for Japan," I said grabbing a menu and my phone 'what's the point of bearing rich if you can't get some expensive hotel service?' I thought with a smile on my face.

I watched tv until I got a knock at my door and before I could even think of getting up the door was unlocked and coming in with a food tray was multiple cute maids who set my table and food within less than a minute before bowing and leaving.

"If I ever need to come back to the west coast Tron reminds me to come to this hotel," I said trying the scrambled eggs, pancakes, and grilled sausages.

Finishing my breakfast each plate and container emptied I left my clone to catch a flight back to New York while I had t decided how I was going to get to Japan.

[I must ask why your Phoenix and not Valstrax it's much faster?]

"Well I haven't used it before besides I'm not going to use it all the time just for a few minutes then [Thunderbird] then I'll finish the flight with [Valstrax]," I said selecting the monster and looking over its stats.

"Not bad stuff definitely needs some more skills but I can work on that later," I said to myself and teleported into the air and transformed fully.

Warmth was all I felt and I felt freedom like I never felt before as I flapped my wings and felt the wind brush my orange and red feathers I let out a cry of joy as I flew far over the ocean not knowing or caring that all I've San Francisco heard my cry.

'Have I ever said how much I love flying,' I thought as I flew between the clouds.

[Every time you fly with a new monster actually]

'Thank Tron I definitely wasn't trying to be sarcastic and enjoy the moment,' I thought to myself deadpanning.

[You're very much welcome :)]

I shook my head and dived down towards the ocean only evening out once I was just above the surface of the water.

After flying for a few more minutes in the form I changed to [Thunderbird] and imminently sensed the distinction between the two avians.

The Phoenix felt like freedom and life it was a fire that would go out eventually but will always reignite.

The Thunderbird was almost the complete opposite as my wings expanded to be double the size my bright fire-like feathers changed to be as black as the angry storm clouds.

Power, thunder, a predator that's what I felt as I flapped my wings and watched as the clouds around me once white and puffy like marshmallows changed to Grey and clomped together and start to form storm clouds blocking out the sun I once enjoyed.

Now I flew into those clouds and enjoyed the feeling of the shadow and the electricity passing through and my cry sounded like thunder.

The feeling of superiority built up inside me as with every beat of my wings lightning flashed and thunder boomed while I was in the growing storm but I found no issue in flying inside of it more did it impede my vision.

Enjoying the feeling I couldn't help but think when was the last time I had used my [Storm Dragon] form and had a little trouble remembering.

[The last time you used Storm Dragon was against Shaggy Man]

'I wonder if this is how Ben feels when he has so many aliens,' I thought transforming into [Elder Valstrax], and with a mighty roar, I took off becoming a red comet in the sky.

POV Nick Tatopoulos

Location: Outside outpost 55

I stood outside Elsie's tent as she and Susan Storm worked on a way to dissolve the Titans' chemical solution but I didn't wait long as the flap of the tent opened to reveal both women smiling.

Elsie: "Good news thanks to Susan we finally found a solution that will dissolve the snake's glue," she said and I nodded looking at all the military hardware that was being set up.

Susan: "I see you're enjoying the new security as much as the rest of us," she said and I nodded I had argued the need to not be viewed as threatening to the titan and to remain a small camp.

But the representative was adamant to have some kind of deterrent forces set up here and in the surrounding area just in case it made a move towards a populated area.

Susan: "Any news from the others," she asked and I shrugged.

"Mendel and Reed are still working on creating those drones from N.I.G.L.E's spare parts Monique and Randy went to advise Major of these forces," I said getting a nod from both.

*Bzz* *Bzz* *Bzz* *Bzz*

When the sound of multi-buzzing filled the air before the shape of four small yellow drones flew off and walking over we saw Mendel and Reed looking at a laptop.

Mendel: "And we are fully operational," he said and the two shook hands before noticing us standing there.

Reed: "The drones are on their way and if the Titan moves three will follow its movements but passively they will monitor the environment inside and out of the cave," he said and I nodded when Randy came running.

Randy: "Guys we got a major problem," he said trying to catch his breath "The major isn't here just for protection," he explained before trying to breathe again.

"Ok Randy deep breaths now what do you mean he isn't here just for protection?" I asked and after a few deep breaths, then he spoke.

Randy: "We'll Monique happened to notice some of the soldiers and hardware was a bit much so I decided to do some digging," he said plugging his phone into the laptop.

Elsie: "You hacked the Japanese military," she said glaring at Randy

Reed: "Impressive," he said only to get a glare from Susan "I mean wrong and irresponsible," he corrected himself.

Mendel: "What were you thinking what if you had been caught?" he asked bewildered and I stood by randys side.

"What did you find?" I asked getting a bewildered look from everyone and a smile from Randy.

Randy: "The Major and his troop have a few other objectives," he said and multiple files and emails appeared I glanced over it all and I felt my hand clench in rage and my blood go cold.

Mendel: "We'll what are they doing," he asked concerned and Elsie put a hand on my shoulder causing me to relax.

"They want to capture the eggs or at the very least destroy them," I said my voice cold.

Susan: "For what purpose could they possibly want-" he began but Reed interrupted her.

Reed: "A domesticated titan," he said loud enough for everyone to hear his mind somewhere else not even noticing the looks from everyone he was getting.

Mendel: "That's. . .actually brilliant," he said holding his chin in his hands until he noticed me, Elsie, Randy, and Susan starting "What I'm just saying," he defended raising his hands.

Elsie: "What it is is insanity and completely unorthodox," she berated.

"And goes against what Monarch stands for we studied these creatures and contain them if we can but our main goal is to find a way to live with the Titans not control them," I said going over the documents with a more detailed look.

Reed: "But could lead to humanity and titans coexisting in peace," he argued but I shook my head.

"You call putting a leash with a chain on them peaceful coexistence no this is steps to nations using the Titans as weapons," I said.

Mendel: "Nick these are creatures that can wipe out city's why not look at every option available?" he asked.

Susan: "I can't believe we're actually arguing about this when Nightfury gets here-," she began only for Monique to run over.

Monique: "The Titan has left its face and is headed this way!" she shouted and we all ran and the sound of soldiers and military vehicles downed out our steps.

We made our way to the front of the camp that faced the destroyed outpost those who were investigating left their tools and ran past the soldiers and vehicles that quickly got into position in front of the camp.

For a few minutes, there was an uneasy silence the only sound heard was the running engines of the military until the ground started to shake and a close of dust appeared in the distance.

There was a shout and suddenly all the military personnel was firing everything artillery shells sailed through the air and bombarded the area.

*SSSCCCRRREEESSS*

A Roar of rage rang out and raising through the dust cloud was the shape of Titanus Ophiophagus aka King Snake.

Elsie: "They need to stop firing their guns aren't doing anything but agitating the Titan," she yelled over the sound.

Looking around I found Major standing next to one of the tanks looking at the Titan stunned I ran up to him.

"Major you need to call off your attack now and call back your men before the titan retaliates," I said sampling the stunned major out of his trance.

But it was too late as suddenly the panicked screams of the soldier were heard ad the Titan sprayed the soldiers and vehicles with its adhesive

"Elsie Susan the Solution!" I shouted but else shook her head.

Elsie: "It would take us hours to make enough to dissolve this much of its adhesive," she shouted back.

Randy: "Huh guys we don't have hours!" he yelled as the titan made its way towards them.

???: "STORM DRAGON ROAR!!!" The words echoed and that followed and then a tornado suddenly appeared right in Infront of us and it pushed the snake back as it was struck by lightning, rain, hail, and high-speed winds.

???: "So you guys look like you could use some help," and turning towards the voice floating in the air large blue wings and tail was Nightfury.
