The Chronicles Of Elijah - Chapter 74

Ultron became sentient and began scouring information from both Jarvis and the Network. Funding the humans prone to self destruction, Ultron absorbs JARVIS and continue to scour for information in the network.

After exhausting Stark servers, he turned to unearth informations from Haven servers.

On the other side of town, Eve monitoring the situation and seeing Ultron attacks, protects the servers then uses a mind stone powered device to blast Ultron back.

Eve then reports to Elijah:” Sir, the attacks were avoided and the enemy was repulsed.”

Elijah:” Good work Eve. Please keep monitoring the situation and report to Natasha if something amiss.”

-Back to the avengers tower-

The avengers were partying after the successful mission. They were together playing a game in which they try to lift Mjølnir to no avail.

Ultron controlling few Iron Legion interrupts their get together. Declaring them to be all killers, he then command some iron legion to attack the team.

During the thwarted attack , Ultron successfully upload his consciousness into another iron legion then escapes with the Sceptre in hand.

In the Aftermath, the avengers confront Tony for creating Ultron. Thor and Steve were particularly pissed. Thor because the Sceptre is lost again, Steve because Tony did something unnecessary and dumb.

Fury came back and they all relocated to the Helicarrier since that one wasn’t destroyed by Ultron like he destroyed everything in the Avengers Hq networks.

-On the Helicarrier-

In the meeting room.

Fury:” This is some piss ȧss bullshit you did. Now we need to figure out where this Ultron is going next.”

They go through Von Strucker’s downloaded files.

Tony:” Found it.” He then shows them Ulysses Klaue files.

Steve:” What’s that on his neck?”

Thor :” It’s a brand.”

Maria searched for the brand in the network.

Maria:” it’s thief in wakandan.”

Steve :” I thought your father got the last of it.”

Fury:” You mean Vibranium?”

Tony :” Yeah.”

Steve :”So where is this guy now?”

Tony:” At the coast of South Africa.”

The avengers decide to attack the Salvage yard.

At the salvage yard, Ulysses Klaue has just done doing business with Ultron selling some of his Vibranium Stash which was really scarce since most of it was stolen by a masked man in 1992. Klaue stills remembers how the man knocked all of them without even touching them and took everything and disappeared. Klaue then tried to procure some Vibranium but with no success.

Suddenly The avengers minus the Hulk came in and attacked the ship.

A confrontation between Ultron with his two minions against the avengers ensued.

Thor’s vision was hazy but he saw something in relationship with the mind stone.

The battle unfortunately derailed into a skirmish on Johannesburg ground causing some destruction around as Ultron didn’t really care about civil casualty.

Following the battle, the avengers were a bit depressed and frustrated since the public opinion kinda blamed them for the debacle on Johannesburg.

Barton piloted the jet and said:” Relax guys. We’ll arrive shortly to a safe house.”

The jet arrived to an undisclosed farm house.

Barton:” We’re here.”

Tony:” Where is here?”

Everybody walked out of the jet and entered the house.

Barton:” Sorry i didn’t call ahead.”

She was Laura , Clint’s wife.

Laura:” It’s alright. The kids missed you. Natasha didn’t come?”

Barton:” No she is busy.”

Laura turned to the guys and said:” Welcome come on in. Nick and Maria are waiting inside.”

Everybody went inside while Thor slipped out and left to find answers.

A discussion broke out between the rest of the avengers.

Suddenly a portal opened next to them startling Tony and the others.

Tony:” Holy Shit.”

Natasha:” Hello boys.”

Natasha was followed by Elijah who also came out from the portal.

Natasha:” I leave you for 3 days alone and you guys go on and create a rampaging robot. Do you have any idea how much clean up i had to do in Johannesburg.”

Tony looked embarrassed.

Elijah walked forward and two chairs materialised out of thin air behind him and Natasha. Both of them sat down.

Elijah emotionless face always make the avengers uncomfortable specially now that they thought he was probably pissed.

Elijah looked at Tony and said in a flat tone:”What in the Creator’s name was that all about?”

Tony:” I wanted to end the fight and created Ultron. It was a good idea. It just went sideways.”

Elijah raised and eyebrow:” went sideways? Do you think your think cans can repulse an alien invasion? Do you think the avengers can do that? You bloody can’t even deal with local threats and enemies created by you personally? Do you seek the destruction of the human race at your hands?”

Elijah :” I warned you many times to be careful of what you create. You aren’t looking promising in leaving the earth safety in your hands. This is disappointing. I will warn you for the last time. Next time you create something as dangerous as Ultron you will be eliminated . Do you understand me?”

A scary atmosphere enveloped the house. Elijah’s aura was really scary.

Elijah stood up and said:” If you think you tin can toys can prevent an alien invasion then you have no idea on outside threats and how many of them i stopped from approaching earth. Leave defending the earth to me , That is my duty. Suffice yourself with only inside threats.”

Elijah then turned and left in a burst of flame leaving an awkward atmosphere between the avengers.

Tony weirdly turned to Natasha:”Is he serious?”

Natasha smiled and said:” You are only alive because he decided to give you a chance. I voted for your death a long time ago but he refused.”

Tony felt shivers run down his spine.

Steve:” What did he mean by outside threats?”

Natasha sighed:” You think the Chitauri and asgardians are all there is in the universe?”

Natasha turned to Fury :” You also know that the Kree and Skrulls also exist and more around the universe.”

Fury sighed and said:” The universe is vast and there is different races. Some are hostile and others not so much but we are protected by Asgard in some sense.”
