It took an hour for all the people that were scattered all around the globe to arrive at the Avengers Tower. Most of them were not so fast, as many were far away in various other countries. But the presence of Hal, Natasha, Barry, Pietro, Hyperion and other fast moving members made it faster for all the members of different teams to arrive at the Tower fast.
But each one that had arrived were just surprised out of their wits by seeing the new people that John had arrived with. Especially Deadpool. He was having a time of his life by making fun of each one of them.
Especially Kurotsuchi Mayuri. Seeing the blabbermouth he almost cut Deadpool in two, not that it would have mattered to Deadpool, as he was almost immortal when it came to injuries and cuts that could lead to death.
Only way that Deadpool could die was old age and his rate of ageing didn't seem like he would die any time soon. One of his bane. Being barred by Death, has its aftereffects. Urahara had to hold down Mayuri so as not to make a commotion here on foreign lands.
At the end there were so many people that, 616-Tony had to bring all the people to the garage of the Tower so that all had enough space and talk. The Green lanterns set up a temporary stage and even seats for everyone to sit. The Guardians, John and other leaders took the stage. This looked funny but there was no other way to accommodate everyone.
Appa came forward as he was leading this mission. The Guardian would be the leader as they were better fit in this kind of mission. The enemies might be manipulative so they needed someone who was devoid of personal emotions and would be able to think for the greater of the multiverse.
"Greetings. I am Appa, a Guardian of Oa. I know that many of you are confused and many were taken aback about what had happened a few hours prior. You all have been thrown into a situation that none of us has any solution. The best we can do is duct tape the problem and move on. This seems pessimistic, but that is the optimistic solution that we can offer you. I don't want to give false hopes but from what Mr. Jameson has told us, it might not be a good one. With all being said, we will have to try our best to remedy the problem."
Such words by Appa didn't raise any kind of hopes to anyone present. They were given a glimpse before by the words of OAA but they had held hopes. Hope that they might be able to overcome it. But it seemed like the journey would be a tough one and it might not lead to a desired result. They thought that everyone would be properly introduced but all they received was a dose of fear.
There was a small murmur among the people but soon stopped it as they could see that Appa was not done with the speech. It was just the starter.
"The Source Wall, or you can call it the Wall here is what is called a boundary between multiverses. We belong to a race called Maltusians. An ancient race that had seen how technological advancement could lead to. We had faced wars and destruction before. From our own kind and thus long ago we had decided to advocate only peace and never interfere among the fellow beings. Since we belonged to an ancient race, we have knowledge far greater than the other alien species. This knowledge gave us a glimpse of what the Source Wall is."
"Along the course of time, we have gathered all knowledge that we could gather about the Wall. The Wall could be said as a prison for people who wanted to achieve more than their limitations. Or you can say these people who were prisoned there wanted powers that could destroy the multiverse. There are beings trapped there which we have no answers to. Anyone of them leaving the multiverse will create havoc and there would be a fall in natural order."
"Let me show you some of the beings and their descriptions so that you have an idea of what these people could do if they go out." Appa said.
Hal used his ring to project a huge screen. And on that screen was a humanoid man who looked like a Roman gladiator. He had a helmet which two massive horns. the horns seemed like they were taken from a huge goat but such huge sized goats had never been seen ever before. The person was at least 9 feet tall and his body seemed like it was made of broken rock, but the streamlined between the broken rock pieces established the fact that it was only a rock like skin. He had a sword in his hand and looked intimidating to everyone.
Even though it was just a still picture of the person.
