  Ego’s orbit [July 2015]

  –Jack Sullivan–

  “This is pointless. Cease this instant,” That’s riing from you, was what he wao say but he had to maintain the uber raged, frenzied, almost gone warrior as he made his barriers brighter and brighter, promptio attack him with heavier attacks, attacks that now began making use of his giant ass body. His very surroundings began turning on him but he repared for that.

  In the end, after a particurly nasty blow, that blew off the head part of his Gundam, he immediately created a small barrier around his body and colpsed on one khe very picture of almost defeated. He also had several miade during the fight, so he was very much bloodied as well. It was all theatrics so he wasn’t worried.

  “See, Peter,”

  And then, Ego did the ohing that every third rate failed vilin does, he tried to monologue during a fight, even if it seemed as if the fight was over.

  “This–this is the fate of all the beings in the universe. They are destio kneel before us, lorious heritage. We are superior to them, always will be. Open your eyes, my son, ater,” By the end, Ego was nearly shouting and was about to press a golden glowing hand on Quill’s head. Something told him that it would be a pretty fug bad idea and Roicket and Groot had just phe first bomb.

  Theoretically, they had already won but he was not going to leave something like this to a fluke.

  He made a small noise as he stood up, and flung his hand in Ego’s dire, creating a yer of barrier that travelled so fast that it slicked straight through Ego’s hand, creating a shockwave ter on, pushing him back, as he was currently “weakened”. He looked to the side and rolled his eyes as he saw Thor in the same position as before.

  “You dare,” There it es again.

  He let the man ramble a him walk towards him, as Rocket [phe sed bomb as well. Well, he supposed that it was time to stop sandbagging then, not his style anyway.

  “Yeah, I dare,” He stood upright, blood disappearing from his body as lightning fshes iire cavern, the smell of ozoent in the air.

  He took in Thor’s royal garb from the er of his vision.

  “Now, why don’t we let you uh all your dear children,” Thor uood his signal even as Ego’s face morphed into one of pure fusion, even as Mjolnir just created a regur hole in Ego’s fabsp;

  Welp, that was brutal. As expected from Space Vikings though.

  He snapped his fingers, creating a portal right beh Quill, as multiple bdes just cut through energy, even as the entire p began shaking.

  He dropped Quill in front of him because he couldn’t really make intergactic portals on his own, punted Rocket and Groot out of the core, something that Ego must have realised but he was not given time to think because, to his enhanced vision, the very air around them busted due to the sheer pressure geed from the speed with which he had thrown all of them right into orbit.

  He had already sed the p and aside from some skeletons and wild animals, there were no other se beings on the p. Within a fsh, they were out into orbit, with Ego’s body, the entire p lighting up in blue and yellow, a, he could see the pure white, the moon breaker doing its job as Ego’s body was destroyed from within, through the weakest point of his body.

  His brows furrowed as he watched a part of Ego’s body bulge in one dire. “No,” Thor muttered to himself before an Asgardian hand ut on his shoulders with a meaty thwack.

  “rade Guardian, we must finish this,” Damn, somehow, they were able to verse in super speed, with all the Guardians not eveing to anything happening to them, with Quill’s body still sparking arcs of blue.

  He couldn’t even speak as he created a se in the barrier, opening up the space for them. He flew right behind Thor who flew without the aid of Mjolnir, with the Raikage’s lightning shroud filling his vision as they both, smmed right into Ego’s body, even as the p began to bubble, bulge and fracture in all pces as it seemed like something was trying to escape the p’s dense core but was uo do so.

  Trag Ego’s core could not have been easier, now with all his defenses pletely gone, he was a giant target to his senses. He let THor's lighting barrages disie any attacks ing their way as he covered Thor’s legs in his barriers, Thor turning to him with a raised eyebrow.

  All of this was happening at super speed, while they were desding on Ego’s breaking form at mach fuck speeds, dropping straight into the bst radius of a moon breaker. Yeah, so he just ughed nervously at Thor’s questioning gaze a his powers do the talking. With Thor allowing it, his barriers covered the ey of Thor’s body, the lightning cloak flickering a bit before it suffused the barriers.

  His eyebrows rose as he could feel another point of trol ehe normally exclusive zone of trol that he maintained over all of his barriers. Gulping nervously, he just did his job, throwing Thor at the location of Ego’s broken brain with all his power, creating a rge shockwave as he was blown back.

  He ground to a halt ter on as he watched a white dot of light appear in his vision, then another, and then another, as he finally felt Thor slow down. He pulled Thor bapletely, THor letting him do so, because apparently, The Prince of Asgard was now the Odin Borson of Asgard when it came to magicks and hijag of said magicks.

  Then, the small dots of light somehow expanded so much that, even across that much distance, even after being engulfed by a dizzying amount of yers of his barrier, he felt the sheer heat of the attack that Thor had just unleashed on the poor pseudo celestial’s brain.

  Wheack subsided, he let the barrier c his eyes fade and then had to blink a few more times as his healing factor worked to erase any minor disfort he would have felt in his eyes.

  When he finally opened both his eyes, without immediately being assaulted by a mesh of blurry white, his jaw hung agape as he looked at Ego, or rather, what was left of it.

  “Holy Fuck,” He muttered to himself, suddenly being aware of his panions. He immediately used his barriers to che on them.

  He wasn’t a fool. There was no way in any heaven or hell that he was going to miss an attack like this. Like, what in the fuck?

  Where Ego’s elongating body was, now was just white dust, still sparking with electricity. The white formed an elliptical wave that became brighter the deeper o into the ter.

  He looked at Thor, who looked at the attack with a solemn look in his eyes and also, he was holding his right arm, with Mjolnir floating beside him.

  “Are you injured?” He asked Thor and if he came to know that the atta front of him was something that Thor could do only once before being a gss , he would eat his a figure colle, which was buried deep into the o, with runes responsible for maintaining optimum temperature, airflow, humidity, and even automated systems to warn him in case something needed h9is attention.

  Thor answered his question by just shoving his hand back against himself, with a manly grunt. He then shook his hand, the lightning fading from his eyes, as he could Thor’s aura, the hyper dense aura of energy that Thor kept active at all times right under his skin faded to such arming low levels that it almost matched that of past Thor’s energy levels.

  “Nay, I still have fight left in me. As, even one such as I ’t do that lightly, again.” Thor rumbled and turned around, heading to the Guardians, and he found himself looking at the literally ic phenomenon that Thor had created and then after shaking his head at the absurdity of it all, found himself following after Thor.

  Something had happened, something drasti Thor’s travels, to turn him into such a brooding powerhouse capable of eveing Thanos unpowered with ease and he would give Thor, Captain Marvel, and himself very fair odds of beating even Thanos with a couple of stones, provided they add someone on their side disrupting Thanos from using the full power of the stones.

  With his hopes raised, especially with the Single Infinity Stohat was stored in his ste with another one in Asgard, which would now, iably fall uhor’s rule, he was feeling pretty great.

  So great, in fact, that he fot that they had no SHIP!

  No fug way of getting to the Jump Gate or something. Maybe Rocket would have something to unicate with someone Rocket had NOT needlessly antagonised on his tact list. The odds were low but oh well.

  He used his barriers to give all of them low powered zaps of electricity, except Quill who probably deserved his full sleep now, and also because he did not want to be there when Quill was informed that his daddy was killed. He didn’t eveo show Quill the bone cave to break Quill out of whatever trance his daddy dearest had put him under.

  “Ah, what the fuck happened,” Rocket swore as Groot probably did too, in his nguage. Gamora was asleep one sed and fully awake and aware of the space with all its exits ary points, i.e., zero, in a sed.

  “Asgard is safe, yes?” Thor asked him and he couldn’t help but furrow his brows at the sheer hollowness in Thor’s tone as he spoke of his home, his supposed pride and soul, as if proteg Asgartd was some old promise that had seeped deep in his being, with no reason to question the directive in any way.

  A drone, of sorts.

  He frowned. “No, this is just one of the ways. We o get to Asgard soon–” he then interrupted Thor who probably had opened his mouth to object to going home, on principle, since his “father” would be the one who would cel his banishment, fet the fact that the current Thor could smoke Asgard as it was, on his own, without breaking a sweat.

  “--and if that doesn’t agree with you, then we o get to Earth. It is my realm, Prince of Asgard, and I officially extend you an invitation,” Thor’s eyes widened as he let magic flow into his void did something like a pseudo woen ended vow, something that would not kill him when broken but what mattered was the principle.

  Thor hesitantly nodded and stood up. He was about to ask what when his eyes widened, humongous amounts of energy flowing through Thor as Mjolnir floated right beside him, looking more and more like the spa, as a rainbow of energy covered his form, his arm outstretched into the emptiness of space, or rather, the white fuck off cloud of “whatever it was” that Thor made just moments ago.

  “Thor–” His words were cut short as, with a thunderg sound, Thor broke through his barrier and floated on top of all of them, his green barrier shattering and repced by what looked like alive lightning. Thor stood up on the barrier, hand still outstretched, his body still glowing in rainbow.

  Okay, what in the fuck kind of powerup was going on here? This was Mot some shonen anime, and even then, where was the power of friendship.

  He realised that he was rambling because, for the first time in years, he was feeling helpless, pletely and utterly. Sure, he could make a she portal but even that would only keep him in space itself, nowhere near any civilisatiores as Ego was sure to be avoiding any suffitly powerful species that could detect him and do something that might promise his pn.

  He looked up, the Guardians once again being subjected to airely new power set as, with a hat seemed as if it broke space itself, the entire white elliptic was sucked into the ter as a shinieor headed straight towards them.

  All he could do was create multiple barriers in the split sed it had taken for the meteor to reach Thor.

  When his mind finally caught up with what his eyes were seeing, his jaw might as well have been on the ground, as a very familiar outline of an axe became visible in Thor’s hand.

  “Stormbreaker…” Words escaped his lips at the majestic sight of the on.

  “Nay, my friend. Tis but merely an imitation, a hollow copy borne by magicks most a,” Thor answered him as he could feel happiness from the axe.

  “Soon, my friend. Soon,” Thor muttered to the axe which seemed to bee giddy at those words before Thor poiormbreaker in the sky and he smiled as he felt the familiar rays of the Bi-Frost fall on him, taking them away from the death pce of a pseudo Celestial, something that was sure to alert the real powerhouses of the universe.

  When his eyes opened, he found himself standing on top of what looked like the burned patio of Aveower, with multiple drones and an Iron Man suit aiming repulsors at them.

  Thor looked wistful as he let Stormbreaker, which immediately began dissipating in thin air. He could feel the sadness, the tent, and the giddiness at being found again, radiating through the white dust before the light show was over.

  “Okay, what the fuck was that? And why did I just sense happiness from fug white dust? Were those some space drugs?” Tony’s voice greeted him as the drones vanished bato their respective panels and Tony’s suit folded all around him, turning into a small backpack that then floated and parked itself on the sofa.

  He raised an eyebrow at the progress. Not quite the Endgame Iron Man armour but very close.

  “Tony, it is a long story but hey, I have some very crappy space tech for you? And anenius ior.” He gestured at Rocket who sniffed haughtily at Tony who deadpa him.

  “Really? A Ra,” He had to hold back Rocket mid lunge.

  “Tempers….have been really high. Now, why don’t we all take a day to rex and then we’ll meet again? Tony, please get them hosted on my floor, I never use it and it is more than enough for all of them.” Tony looked rather offe being ordered but that was his normal state so he igony and turo the rather disgruntled Guardians, sans Quill who was hung around Drax’s shoulders like a sack of potato, the well of energy in him almost gone as well.

  “Look, Tony is an ally. You will get food, eai, safety and all the creature forts you think of. I will make sure that you guys are ba space as soon as possible but my mission is far from over, so it might take a little while for me to get you guys another ship on par with the Mino,” Especially since he was about to go the A One and figure out a way to get the Power Sto of the damned box.

  Irani Rael. Hmph.

  To think she could outsmart and outmaneuver him.

  He turo Thor who was oddly silent and was also looking straight at the sun, “Thor?”

  “Heimdall. I ’t feel Heimdall’s gaze on me. her Father’s,” Thor muttered in fusion and he grinned as that could turn into a spark that would have He destroyed, with Asgard not suffering a double genocide in a short period of time.
