Kol Mikaelson – Journey To The Multiverse - Chapter 34

The question was – What was alluring enough for the members of Confederacy to travel all the way here to such an unremarkable place as earth from so far away?

Thankfully, the answer walked itself to them in the form of Daisy Johnson, who, as usual, against the advice of her teammates, risked her life and the lives of the last remaining surviving members of the human race to rescue her friend, Jemma from the Krees because she couldn’t trust Kol enough to protect her.

If Kasaius and Sinara hadn’t already become Kol’s minions, then Daisy would no doubt end up getting captured. Then in retaliation, what Kasaius would do to the remaining human population here would be something unthinkably cruel.

But in this case, Daisy was safely escorted to the room where Jemma, Kol, and Kasaius were already waiting.

Daisy paused at the door when she saw Jemma and Kol sitting comfortably on the couch, eating gr.a.p.es.

She was surprised by this revelation.

“Move!”, her escort, Sinara pushed her forward.

Daisy came back to her senses and entered the room without any resistance.

“Oh Daisy, you’re here! Come on in.”, Jemma spoke cheerfully.

Daisy asked, “Jemma… what’s going on? I thought… you were captured?”, with confusion written on her face.

So Kol replied, “Sit down and we’ll explain everything.” while munching on the gr.a.p.es.

“Hmm.”, so Daisy sat down next to Jemma.

Then, Kol commanded Sinara who was still standing at the door, “Sinara, come over and feed me.”.

So Sinara picked up one of the trays from the table and sat down next to Kol.

Then Kol wrapped his arm around Sinara’s slim waist, leaned back comfortably, and spoke to Daisy, “Daisy, weren’t you thirsty before? Drink some water.”.

“No, I’m fine.”, Daisy replied.

“It’s alright Daisy.”, Jemma urged.

“Ok.”, So Daisy then picked up a glass of water from the table and emptied it down at once.

“Tok!”, she put down the glass, and spoke, “Ok… so what’s going on here? I thought you were in trouble.”.

Kol replied, “About that… it turns out, it was all a big misunderstanding.”.

“What do you mean?”, Daisy asked, with confusion written on her face.

So Kol explained, “Well… we walked down here expecting a fight, much like you were, but instead, we were welcomed in. We ate and drank, then Kasaius explained to us the real situation.”, then he pointed at Kasaius.

Jemma interjected, “They are just trying to help.”.

But Daisy argued, “Everything we’ve seen so far indicates otherwise. The people here are slaves, living even worse than homeless people, and from what I can tell, he’s in charge of all this.”, referring to Kasaius, who was just quietly listening to their conversation.

So Kol explained, “That’s just for show. Treating humans harshly is a way for Kasaius to show his family that he’s competent. He doesn’t really have much of a choice in this matter.”.

Then continued, “They already tried to kill him once for suggesting that all races are equal, and when that failed, they exiled him here. If he makes another mistake, they will kill him for real this time, then the rest of humanity will have no one to protect them. The galactic civilizations will make them slaves and use them to breed more Inhumans, who would fetch them a hefty price in the market.”.

Then Kasaius elaborated Kol’s words, “For ages, I witnessed my race commit horrendous atrocities upon others, the stuff of nightmares. Inflicting great suffering and unjustly ruling over other races, all because they believe themselves to be superior. So when I tried to suggest otherwise, they tried to assassinate me, and when that failed, they exiled me here.”.

“I see… So you’re saying that we should be thankful to you for turning us into slaves?”, Daisy asked in an accusing tone.

But before Kasaius could reply, Kol interrupted this conversation in a mocking sarcastic tone, “‘Them’, It’s ‘Them’, not ‘We’ Daisy. It’s amazing how quickly you would consider yourself to be one of them just because we’re all humans. Don’t you see the irony in that? And the utter hypocrisy of it all?”.

Then continued, “This is 2091. Seventy years into the future. A future where people have to fight for every little scrap of food survive in a space station, a place so small that it’s worse than a prison cell. They don’t even have a ground to walk on.”.

Then asked with apparent anger in his tone, “You think you can imagine how that must’ve been like just because you had a tough childhood? Huh! Don’t pretend to be one of ‘Them’, you’re not them. Do you know the consequences of your recklessly barging in here? If Kasaius was not on our side then the Kree could end the remaining humanity here with the push of a button. You knew that, and yet here we are.”.

Daisy had many good qualities, but that didn’t mean she lacked any bad qualities. Only most people subconsciously looked past them.

Coulson always told Daisy to trust her gut and believe in herself, which seemed like good advice, until Daisy took that to a whole new level.

Now Daisy was a woman of strong opinions and too stubborn in her beliefs. She was strongly driven by her need to be recognized and her behavior could get radical and unreasonable at times, knowingly putting others in unnecessary danger.

However, Kol knew exactly how to deal with that. Daisy used to be fascinated by superhero culture and still had a great sense of justice.

To deal with such a person, all Kol had to do was use guilt.

And that’s exactly what he did.

Daisy asked with guilt apparent in her tone, “Ok… I get it. ‘Them’… Fine, so he’s trying to help. But why now? And why at all? I mean, if his whole race is like that, then what makes him different? I mean there’s one thing if…”, but was interrupted.

Sinara, who was sitting beside Kol, started breathing heavily, “Huh! Huh! HAA!Aahhh!!”, apparently Kol’s hand, which was hugging her from the waist just moments ago was now stuck between her t.h.i.g.hs.

Kol paused, and turned to look at Sinara, immediately realizing his subconscious mistake, “Oh sorry… I… I didn’t mean to do that. It’s a force of habit.”, embarrassed, he pulled his hand back.

Sinara spoke in between hurried breaths, “Haai… I don’t… mind!”, while rubbing her t.h.i.g.hs against each other as an attempt to relieve her l.u.s.t.

But Daisy picked up on something particularly disturbing, “Force of habit! What do you mean ‘force of habit’? Do you molest women often?”, she asked with her eyes narrowed into a slit.

But Kol clarified, “No… Not it means I’m married. Don’t you see this ring?”, while showing her his M-Ring, and continued, “I don’t usually sit in such close proximity to people other than my wife.”.

“Is that right?”, Daisy asked skeptically.

However, it made sense. Kol was a King, so of course, he wouldn’t sit NEXT TO other people, and only either sit ABOVE them or sit IN FRONT of them.

As far as Sinara was concerned, the Kree had blue skin, but it wasn’t literally, the color blue itself. Just like the skin color of white people was not the color white, black was not black, red, yellow, orange… purple and so on.

The aliens in the movies and TV shows were just actors who had painted their skins with different colors, that did not mean that the real thing looked anything like them.

In fact, Kol found Sinara quite attractive.

However, just as he said, he didn’t mean to do it. It was one thing to just find someone attractive and another to do something about it, and Kol didn’t plan to do anything more than perhaps compliment her.

So Kol continued while trying to avoiding the topic, “So! Anyway… Kasaius! Why don’t you…ah, why don’t you show Daisy what makes you so different from the other Kree?”.

Kasaius explained, “I am different from others of my race. I’m going to show you how, but please don’t be alarmed.”, then before Daisy could ask any more, “GrRShhhh!!”, the sclera in his eyes became pitch black and white vampire fangs grew out of his mouth.

Seeing this, Daisy nearly jumped out of the couch in surprise, “Hollly SHHHITT!!!”.

“HE’S A MONSTER!! Is this what you wanted to show me? Not a very good argument.”, she called out in surprise.

But Kol replied sarcastically, “Monster? Why? What makes him a monster? Because of his teeth? Do you realize how hypocritical you sound right now? Your palms can generate vibrations that can tear apart buildings in seconds, I wonder who’s the bigger monster here.”.

Hearing this, Daisy realized that she was overreacting, perhaps it had something to do with the fact that Kasaius’s appearance looked just like a vampire from a horror show, and that surprised her.

Then Kol continued, “Anyway, because of his special biology, Kasaius was never welcomed among his people, always despised. Over time, he began to feel like an outsider… as something different.”.

Then continued, “But that’s not all. Because of his special biology, Kasaius is very empathetic. He’s a s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e fellow who feels very deeply. When he witnessed his people waging wars and slaughtering others for petty little reasons, he tried to protest in a desperate attempt to stop them. But as expected, he failed.”.

Then continued, “Now we are his hope and the last hope of mankind here. All this time, Kasaius has been bidding his time quietly, waiting for an opportunity to strike, but he has never had enough power to back it up. If we help him, then the lives of people here will also improve. They can migrate to a new habitable planet, and then with Kasaius’s help, they will come out stronger than ever before.”.

Daisy was famously known as “Destroyer of Worlds”.

Apparently, the other civilizations in the galaxy believed that Daisy was the one who destroyed Earth, so they called her “Destroyer of Worlds”.

So in a place where Inhumans were sold as super high quality, super rare commodities, the presence of Daisy was enough for the members of the Confederacy and many more influential figures across the galaxy to jump at a chance to acquire her.

She was the perfect bait.

But Kol also knew that she wouldn’t come aboard easily with his plans, especially since he wouldn’t reveal his identity to her.

She was called “Destroyer of Worlds” in this timeline, and if there was smoke, then how could there be no fire somewhere nearby? Kol wasn’t stupid enough to still trust her even after that.

So he chose to tell her a little white lie instead. A lie that would save mankind in this timeline.

With Daisy abord, everything else was smooth sailing. Kasaius and Sinara could handle the rest and there was no need for Kol to stay.

.

It was a desolate land in this apocalyptic world.

The surface was no place for the living. When they came out of the elevator, the only way was forward.

“Coulson, where did the signal come from?”, Kol inquired, while looking around cautiously.

Daisy and Jemma had stayed behind to help Kasaius and Sinara, but the rest took the elevator to the surface.

Currently, they were no longer in those casual clothes as when they first arrived here but wore body armor provided by Kasaius, along with special energy weapons.

When Kol was busy setting up the plans for the future, Coulson and others were busy too.

Coulson discovered flight logs inside Vergil’s room that led towards a specific set of coordinates. So May took the job of the pilot and they took the Trawler out to check it out.

When they arrived at the destination, they picked up on a signal coming from the surface of the destroyed planet, which indicated that people still survived there somehow, and Vergil was in constant communication with them.

So now Kol and others were heading down that location to check it out.

In reply to Kol’s inquiry, Coulson checked his tablet and replied, “A few miles that way.”, while pointing forward.

So Kol loudly warned everyone, “ALRIGHT EVERYBODY! Look alive, there’s gonna be a lot of ‘roaches’ on the way. We have to stick…”, but was interrupted.

In front of them was a forest, “CRRiiiiiiii!!!!!”, loud bestial voices came out from the front, like the call of many beasts, but since they came out simultaneously, it seemed like the whole forest was a terrifying beast waiting to devour them whole.

They subconsciously swallowed their saliva in fear.

“Ahhh shiiit!’, Mack exclaimed in irritation.

Then they raised their weapons and pointed them towards the forest, ready for the upcoming battle.

Despite the distance only being a few miles, it took them three days on foot.

It wasn’t an easy journey. The threat of ‘roaches’ was many times greater in these woods, especially at night.

Many times they came close to death, but thanks to Kol accompanying them, the guy who was only pretending to be normal, they somehow survived and managed to reach their destination.

It was the wreckage of their old mobile SHIELD base, Zypher-1. Whoever it was was sending the signal from there.

.

30,000 years ago, the people of Chronicom, located in the Cygnus system, deployed Enoch to planet Earth in order to study and record the development of the Human race.

For centuries, he lived among the humans, observing them and charting their progress.

Robin Hinton was an Inhuman who had the ability of “visions”, which allowed her to witness the events of her entire lifespan mashed together all at once, all the time.

In the early 21st century, Enoch became aware of the existence of Robin, and her visions of a terrible disaster that would break the Earth in half and precede an invasion by the Kree.

Concerned that the disaster would end the human species, Enoch began to prepare countermeasures to prevent that future from coming to pass.

To that end, Enoch abducted Coulson and others and brought them to a massive underground bunker and an unused undoc.u.mented SHIELD base called the Lighthouse, where he used the Time Monolith to send them into the future to the year 2091.

In the year 2017, when Coulson and others were taken from their timeline, Robin was just a pre-teen, but now in the year 2091, she was an old woman.

Robin was now the leader of “Believers”, a group of people who believed in her visions and the fact that Coulson and others would one day come and make things better.

After they were banished to the surface by the Kree, the “Believers” now lived in the wreckage of an old mobile SHIELD base, Zypher-1, which was basically just a modified passenger plane.

When Kol, Coulson, and others finally found their way to the entrance of Zypher-1 after three days of constant struggle, the “Believers” there were more than surprised.

Because according to Robin’s visions, this wasn’t supposed to happen this way. They weren’t supposed to find their hideout this quickly.

Despite that, they were immediately trusted and invited inside with much enthusiasm.

Of course, there were questions about Kol’s presence since he wasn’t supposed to be there, but by this point, Coulson and others very much trusted Kol, so an easily acceptable answer was that whoever sent them here sent him along for reasons unknown.

On the other hand, life inside Zypher-1 was much more free compared to what it was under the Kree rule, but even still, every day was a battle for survival.

While wandering around the base, Kol came across an isochronous cyclotron designed to achieve some specific thermoelectrical process.

[Images]

After studying it further, Kol discovered that this machine used resonant superconducting coils and was used to initiate a thermodynamic cascading process into a specific object that contained some special energy used to achieve a very specific result.

However, whatever object this machine was created for was now missing. So Kol could only look around while inquiring about the machine.

From the members of the “Believers”, he discovered that this machine was used to control the Time Monolith that brought Coulson and others to this time.

Unfortunately, all that was left of the time monolith now was a single piece that was barely the size of a basketball.

Even still, it was enough for Kol.

Even after all his knowledge combined he hadn’t seen anything like it.

The stone contained special temporal energy inside it, and the gaps and pores in it formed a unique structure that worked like a magic matrix on its own.

This magic matrix used the temporal energy inside the stone to perform extremely complicated Time spells, yet with remarkable ease.

As the God of Power, Kol immediately drained and copied the unique temporal energy from inside the stone.

Now he possessed the energy of Omega effect, Solar energy, Phoenix energy, Natural Lightning energy, and Temporal energy.

The rest was easy.

Kol just put his hands forward and started generating the temporal energy that he had just copied.

When it became a glowing sphere of green light, he did a spell that covered the energy with the unique stone structure of the Monolith.

Since he was the God of Power, Kol could convert one form of energy into another and could manipulate all forms of energy to his will. So he didn’t need the stone structure. But even so, he wasn’t going to reveal his abilities to Coulson and others just like that.

Yo-Yo commented, “So now we can finally go home.”.

Kol explained, “Yeah. This machine can control the Monolith… and as it turns out, the Monoliths can never be truly destroyed because they are energy bodies. So all I had to do was use this machine to revive the Monolith. It didn’t even need any extra energy, I just entered a command from the console and that was it.”.

Then Mack spoke, “Great! Let’s call Daisy and Simmons over so we can all go home.”.

But Kol denied that idea, “No… That won’t work. Reviving the Monolith was just changing its form, but if we wanna use it to send us home, it will require a gigantic amount of energy. The kind we can’t find here.”.

“So we need to take this machine and Monolith back to the Kree base.”, Coulson understood Kol’s implication.

“Yep!”, Kol nodded.

Mack had an idea, “I saw communication equipment here. Since the Kree are now helping us, I say we contact them.”.

But May interrupted, “You sure it’d be wise to give them a time machine? We don’t even know if we can trust them enough to not try and kill us as soon as we head back.”.

Yo-Yo agreed with May, “Yeah… just because they’re playing nice for now doesn’t mean they won’t stab us in the back. Don’t forget what we saw back there.”.

But Kol replied, “Don’t forget these Monoliths are also called Kree Monoliths. It’s their technology, to begin with.”.

By this point, Coulson had made a decision, “It’s not like we have many options here. Not much room to maneuver, let’s call them but be ready for a fight. We’ll see what happens.”.

When Enoch sent Coulson and others to this timeline, Fitz was left behind.

But after losing all his friends and the love of his life, all in just a single night, without any explanation, Fitz didn’t just forget all about it and continued onto his life.

He never stopped looking, and eventually, he somehow managed to track down Enoch.

Then after learning the reason behind Enoch’s actions, Fitz decided to travel into the future.

However, it was easier said than done. Enoch himself had no idea how to operate the Monolith. Before it was only done through the machine in the future.

So instead, they decided to use a Cryo-sleep chamber from Enoch’s ship that was still well preserved even after 30,000 years.

Though it should make one wonder what it was doing there in the first place, since Chronicoms are inorganic, they don’t even age.

Anyhow, Fitz then slept inside the Cryo-chamber while Enoch watched over him even as his spaceship orbited Jupiter for 74 years.

Right around the time when Kol, Coulson, and others went to the surface, Fitz and Enoch entered the Kree base under aliases.

Fitz as Boshtok, a vile space Marauder of unlimited wealth, and Enoch as his right-hand man.

However, with Kasaius and Sinara already secretly working for Kol, there was no need for such a masquerade.

Jemma, Kasaius, Daisy, and Sinara brought Fitz and Enoch into a separate room and explained the situation.

However, Enoch was the one who sent Coulson and others to this timeline, so he easily exposed Kol when Daisy mentioned him.

Thankfully, Jemma came up with a convenient lie to cover up Kol’s true identity without revealing the truth, in a way that even Enoch wasn’t able to deny anything.

She told them that Kol had already revealed the truth to her and that he was someone from an alternate timeline who was brought here when he touched an infinity stone in his timeline at the same time as when a time crack accidentally opened because of them traveling to the year 2091 from 2017 using Time Monolith.

With several unknown factors involved here like the infinity stones and time cracks and Monoliths, no one, not even the best of scientists from the most advanced civilization could verify this claim. Especially since it was undeniably a possibility.

By the time Kol, Coulson, and others contacted the Kree base from the surface, Kasaius and others had already taken control of their wealthy reputable guests, which included all the members of the Confederacy, Kasaius’s elder brother, and many other influential people across the galaxy. They had all come here together at the rare chance of catching a glimpse of “destroyer of worlds”.

Soon after, help was sent out to Kol, Coulson, and others, many rules changed and the “Believers” were welcomed back with open arms.

Kol met Fitz for the first time and immediately liked the guy. He was glad that Jemma was with someone like Fitz. She would be happy.

And so, with several Kree scientists helping them out, along with Kol’s occasional inputs, Fitz and Jemma figured out how to make use of the machine to operate the Time Monolith to sent them back home to their timeline.
