《Multiverse of Marvel》259. The leader
Advertisement
As the Black Priests made their way for their superior to arrive, everybody got to see a person emerging from the multiverse passage in the same outfit as other Black Priests. The only difference was that this new guy was wearing a weirder and bigger mask. He levitated down slowly towards them.
John got irritated with all the slow theatrics of this leader, especially when he knew the identity of their superior so he said
"Constantine, give me the staff."
"Ah.. Sure mate." Constantine said as he threw the staff of Shazam to John who was still in his Phoenix form. John caught the staff with his claws and shouted
"SHAZAM."
The next moment a huge lightning bolt fell on him from the sky. As the lightning fell the Phoenix form which had fire on his wings were now added by lightning spark all over the body. After the dust settled created by the lightning bolt, the Phoenix looked totally different now. He now looked so huge that even the people from the city of Kathmandu could see the Phoenix. There were lightning sparks all over him and instead of blue fire he had an orange colored fire.
John didn't waste any more time and directly flew to the leader's side. Before the leader could even determine what just happened he was caught by the claws of John and was thrown away with a huge force to the snowy mountains at the back.
The force of his throw was so huge that the leader basically went through a series of mountain ranges before stopping. This destroyed a lot of mountains. They all were dumbfounded by this sudden action of John. Nobody knew that Constantine had the staff of Shazam and even lesser people have ideas about the staff.

The Ancient One who saw that the mountain ranges were collapsing directed the mages to stop the mountains and avalanche from coming down and killing the people living on the foot of the mountains while she got ready for the retaliation from the Black Priests but surprisingly none of the Black Priests moved.
John on the other hand flew so fast to the direction the leader was being thrown that only few people could make out that John had flown away, while others thought that he just vanished.
John found the leader lying in rubble. John used both lightning and fire to hit at the leader and used his full force. The leader who just got back up was hit again by such a huge attack. He was again thrown away a few miles before stopping. John then proceeded to do the same cycle with the leader before he could even speak a word.
These actions of John were seen by everybody. Even the satellites of Earth could now see such a massive Phoenix bird flying around and causing destruction. Even though nobody died, the Himalayan mountain ranges had now officially become one of the ranges which housed the lowest peaks. Mt. Everest was totally gone.
All the governments who saw this got scared and immediately called Fury. Fury, who had no idea what had happened, called Wayne only to receive a vague answer of enemies arriving from another universe and John fighting against it.
After 5 minutes of flying around and using all attacks possible on the leader, he took the leader in his claws and came back to the position where it started. He then threw the leader to the center where everyone was present. The Black Priests surprisingly still didn't react to all of this. The mages had all gone away to secure the collapsing ranges. And even some Avengers joined them after seeing no reaction from Black Priests.

The leader seemed dead as most of them thought that no matter how powerful a person might be, such a continuous and huge assault couldn't be survived from.
"That's a nice trick you did. Called the leader and killed him. We should use such strategies." Arthur said.
"If only it was that easy. I know you are alive, Strange. You can stop pretending to be dead." John said. The Ancient One, Stephen, Mordo and some other mages shuddered when said the name 'Strange'.
The Avengers didn't know anything about the name Strange so they had no reaction. The leader who was seemingly dead got up slowly. Everybody was surprised as they didn't really expect that somebody could survive even after that assault.
"What is this guy's body made of? Vibranium?" Steve asked as that was the toughest metal known to them.
"No. He is using letters to defend himself. Isn't it right Strange?" John said.
The leader finally removed his mask to show his face and what some of them doubted finally came to be true. It really was Stephen Strange. Those who had been fighting for the last 15 minutes recognized him and turned their head to the person who actually looked like. Even though he had bruises on his face the Avengers could make out his identity.
Doctor Stephen Strange.
"Why do these two guys look the same? Is he the leader of these people from another universe?" Pietro asked. John didn't reply to that but asked.
"Why are you here Strange? There is no Molecule Man in our universe. Nor is there any incursion. You better give me a good explanation or else I don't mind locking you up at a place where you won't be able to utter a single word. Let alone finishing a sentence."

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

The Five Series - redemption
Book 1 - Redemption Three generations have passed since the last near-apocalyptic war. Civilization is beginning to thrive again at an ever increasing pace. The burden of society has been once again placed on the back of a massive robotic workforce, creating a huge divide between industrial glory, and those forced to live in its shadow. Many have stubbornly held onto the old ways of self-governance from back when the government fell, but with its return, life in Welan City is changing. Aaron, a middle-aged man, who is stuck in the rut of daily life, witnesses a murder and finds himself in trouble, love, and the middle of a highly secretive robotics project. Aaron stakes his life on helping a prototype survive, and pays for it dearly. Passionate hate, love, and indifference send life in Welan City spiraling out of control, leaving no one innocent in the end. The Five Series is, well, a series. I've completed 3 of the books so far and will finish with a fourth, maybe fifth book. Book 1 is heavy on the character development side while the following will be much more decision and consequence oriented. This story reaches into the soul of a person and the universe we live in. Some people deserve a second chance, and some do not. With that im mind, no one really ever gets what they deserve though, do they? Always tell the people you care about that you love them as often as you can, they could be gone tomorrow. Would that change if you could always bring them back? I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it. Cody
