The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Reo]

"Luna that wasn't nice of you... you shouldn't reveal someone else's secret" Momo pointed out with a stern look on her face and Luna nodded her head in agreement but the look on her face was a completely different story... she looked really proud after revealing the secret.

"Don't worry Momo... I am completely fine with it... I have no problem with Reo finding out about my feelings in such a manner... It is nothing to be ashamed of" Hela said proudly while looking towards me... I already know about her feelings for me from Jean and Ororo and to be honest, I haven't decided anything.

I don't hate Hela... in fact, I like her, she is proud, strong, beautiful and very dangerous... there isn't anything to not like... "...Hela, is it fine if I have some time before giving you an answer?" I asked her and she smiled. I wasn't being indecisive but I simply wanted to return to my former glory before accepting her. Obviously, I was going to accept her... there was no way I am going to reject an amazing woman like her and I always liked to tread in dangerous waters.

"I have no problems with that" Hela said while nodding her head and an ethereal green sword formed in her hands... the sword looked quite dangerous... and she started to approach me with the sword in her hands... though I didn't think that she was going to attack me... so I simply stood where I was...

(Image Here)

She finally stopped in front of me and placed the tip of her sword in the ground and kneeled down like a knight... "From now on, your enemies will be my enemies... you will simply need to point me towards your enemies and I will present you their heads... so, allow me to become your sword..." Hela spoke up proudly, she was staring right into my eyes... I could see the determination in her eyes.

Shit...!!! I wasn't expecting this!! I might look completely stoic on the outside but I was freaking out inside my mind... I noticed the other girls gasped when they heard Hela's words... I had never imagined that Hela would do something like this... I guess she still thinks of herself as a weapon since Odin trained her to be like that since she was born.

Hela was still kneeling in front of me waiting for answers... so I gathered back my wits and stared into her eyes... "I accept" I said with a determined look on my face. Hela slowly stood up and looked into my eyes and a small smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you..." Hela said softly and her sword dispersed into thin air... she placed both of her hands on my cheeks and before I could ask... she pecked me on my lips and both Hela and I were surrounded by a green glow... the glow disappeared after a few seconds... "From now on, your wish would be my command" Hela said seriously and backed away.

Suddenly, a disturbing thought appeared inside my mind and I grimaced... Hela noticed that and she also grimaced... "Please... don't think something so disgusting... this ritual would have worked even if I have touched your hand but I wanted a kiss" Hela said with a somewhat disgusted look on her face... ah... so, that's how it is.

I decided to check the changes inside me and found that there was a connection between Hela and me. Through the connection, I could send her messages and orders and I could even force her to follow my commands... I wasn't going to do that ever and there was no way that she could break the connection.

I decided to test the connection... 'Hela... how were you able to break the connection between you and Odin?' I sent her a message.

'I didn't... Death broke the connection between us, she can also break the connection between us' Hela's voice was heard inside my head... I could have always done this with the powers of the Mind Stone but I still need to master my telepathic powers.

"Hela, have you told Death about this?" I asked her aloud.

"Yes, you don't have to worry about that... she said she didn't have any problem as long as I can finish the jobs she gives me..." Hela said with a smile and I nodded my head in understanding. Finally, the other girls surrounded Hela and started to congratulate Hela... I am really glad that they are fine with each other.

The girls finally finished congratulating Hela, "Girls... are you finally ready to go?" I asked and all of them nodded their heads.

"Don't get me wrong but where are we going..." Dora asked while raising up her hand... I rolled my eyes after seeing her antics...

"We are going to get the final Stone... the Ego Stone..." I said and all of their eyes started to shine. I waved my hand and a portal appeared in front of us... all of us slowly entered the portal and the girls gasped because of the lack of air but none of them had any problems staying alive without air.

"Are you girls ok??" I asked... yes, for whatever reason we were able to speak in space completely fine... it must be because of some Marvel Multiverse mechanics... we were floating in front of a frozen burning planet... I don't know how something like that is even possible but sometimes planets are very bizarre...

(A/N: In the comics, the Ego Stone wasn't shown to have a specific location... so, I decided to create this scenario for simplicity and think of the planet as Gliese 436 b, the whole planet is made of water but the surface is on the fire all the time).

"We are fine..." Luna said in an excited tone and teleported away... only after a second she returned with her sketchbook in her hands.

"Ok..." I said with an unsure look on my face and turned towards the other girls... they also nodded their heads though Dora seemed to be pouting.

"I hate space..." Dora whined and continued pouting.

"Shush... in space you don't have to worry about tripping" Luna said with an innocent smile on her face. I could already hear the gears turning inside Dora's head... she looked really thoughtful until a look of realisation came to her face.

"Yosh... I am going to live in Space from now on... air can get buggered for all I care" Dora finished with a serious look on her face.

"Uh... okay sure" I said with an unsure look on my face and once again I turned my eyes towards the burning planet. "Ok... I am going, you guys can wait here if you want even though that measly fire can't harm any of you" I said and the girls agreed that they are going to stay here.

"Best of luck Reo..." Luna said and pecked me on the lips... that was a flag right there. Soon the other girls also followed Luna's example and started kissing me while wishing me luck... soon, I ended up with a total of 9 flags. Hela finally approached me and this time it was me who took the initiative and pecked her on the lips. She also wished me luck and I finally appeared on the surface of the planet...

The fire didn't even bother me in the slightest and I was still trying to ignore the 10 flags that the girls have raised. I started to walk towards the Ego Stone... the planet was made up of solid ice... and the ice was on fire... and the ice wasn't even melting. Even the strongest metals from earth would melt in this fire but Anti-Metal was not from Earth... originally.

From now on if anyone says that water or ice can't burn then I am gonna smash their face on this planet... I finally arrived in front of a giant hole... the hole was made by some kind of meteor... I could sense the Ego Stone at the bottom of the hole... I finally jumped down the hole and landed inside a crater...

My eyes were immediately on the fist-sized sky blue orb... I didn't need to be a genius to figure out what that orb was... without looking anywhere else I approached the Ego Stone... I held my breath in anticipation and I was finally standing over the Ego Stone. I kneeled down and slowly grabbed the Ego Stone and with that my whole world went black...

[With the Girls]

"This Universe is quite different than ours... I wonder how Earth looks like in this dimension" Momo said with a thoughtful look on her face.

"I am pretty sure that it would interesting... but I find this planet to be more fascinating... don't you want to find out why the frozen planet is burning without melting?" Fleur asked Momo and Momo immediately nodded her head in agreement.

"It has been some time since Reo has landed on the planet... isn't this taking more time than usual?" Nat asked and all the girls became slightly worried.

"Luna, is he going to be fine?" Nemuri asked with a slightly worried look on her face.

"...I don't know... but I know that this is going to be his hardest fight... let's wait for him" Luna said cryptically, the innocent look on her face was long gone... she knew that there could be only two outcomes after this, but she decided not to tell the other girls about this... being Omniperceptive is not easy...
