Chương 218: Attack

"So you are like a Prophet. You can see the past and future. Now wonder you are important for the Avengers." Hank finally said.

"Well, watching the timeline isn't my only power." John replied as he got up to leave. He didn't want to speak more of himself. Scott's friends had already arrived and were surprised to see everything had been resolved. John offered them jobs too in Umbrella. They were happy to be able to join such a huge company and get paid like a normal person.

He returned back home with Bee as the arc of Ant-Man was over pretty fast. After the thing with Ultron he would never let anyone get the better of him in any way. About the new protest that had started he didn't care. Umbrella will just wash off the responsibility saying it was already on Mars when they had arrived. If the protest still insists he will take measures.

John was waiting for the first move of Ultron and he had a feeling that it would arrive soon. He was looking forward to it.

The days went like normal and it was October now. Mars had finally started the process of colonisation little by little. Umbrella had sent many people by now. The spaceships were on the other end of the planet so the people never saw the world engine or any other spaceship. Tony and Bruce finally informed that they have developed vibranium nano armour for both of them.

Wayne's new hellbat armor was made of Vibranium and Tony had a new bleeding edge armor, similarly made of Vibranium. John was happy to see such a huge leap so fast. Even Ryan said that he was researching a new kind of suit for himself which could make his body shrink.

On a fine day in October as John was working in Disney about the new superhero movie he got a reminder by the system.

Warning

The world engine and a scout ship is losing it's sentience. Please look into it.

Warning.

The world engine and a scout ship is losing it's sentience. Please look into it.]

"What?" John almost shouted and ran. The people who were working got scared by the sudden reaction of John as they thought they made some mistake but after he ran away they realised it was something else. They were just curious of what had happened that triggered such a reaction from John.

John directly ran to the roof. He directly transformed into Victor Stone and opened the boom tube to Mars where the spaceships were located. By the time he reached Mars the system had informed that both the spaceships had lost sentience and were now out of his control.

When John reached he saw that both the spaceships were high up in the air. The scout ship was about to open the phantom drive and vanish. John saw this and directly shot at the scout ship. This was the first time he lost a comrade in arms in his whole life and he was very angry. Even though he hadn't much talked with any of the spaceships he considered them his friends. Now he just lost two in a single go.

John was furious so he didn't hold back as he directly shot at the scout ship. The world engine was going high up in the air and it had opened the phantom drive yet. John's shot directly damaged a part of the hull of the spaceship as he had just put full power in the proton cannon. Even though the hull was damaged the scout ship was able to open the phantom drive and vanish. A damaged scout ship could never travel safely using the phantom drive. The ship would be destroyed no matter what.

John took another aim to the world engine as this world engine too was out of his control. As he took the aim to shoot, the world engine too vanished from his sight opening the phantom drive. John had a solemn face now. He had a hunch of what had happened but he needed to make sure. He opened the boom tube and returned back to Earth on the same roof.

After reaching he transformed himself back to John and opened the FOCUS.

"Avengers. We have a situation. Meet me at the headquarters." John said. After a few minutes a boom tube opened and John walked into it. After he emerged from the boom tube he saw almost everybody had come while others were emerging from the boom tubes. Victor was operating the mother box to bring all of them in.

"What happened?" Arthur asked.

"We lost a scout ship and a world engine. FOS no will relay the video of it." John said.

"What? What did you say? We lost a World engine and a scout ship?" Tony and Steve almost shouted. They had stayed on Mars for quite a long time and they had a good friendship with the spaceships. Now suddenly out of nowhere they lost two of their friends.
