Stark's POV (entire chapter):

I walked through the dark hall until I came upon a large room off to the side. I walked in and began looking around. There were a lot of boxes and tools on the walls and small vehicles and robotics on the ground. Looking up into the ceiling, my heart stopped...no not like that, I would be dead. Anyways, there was a large figure that was blacked out by the lights shining from above. The thing looked to be a bit larger than a Helicarrier. It had a rounded long front and a wider black with sharp angles. Two large cannons were fixed to the top and there were many other smaller cannons attached all over. There wasn't any sign of landing gear whatsoever. What struck me the most was that the front looked like it was shaped like a skull. The whole figure of the ship was haunting and ghost like. It was like it wasn't even there at all, but I could see it clearly.


"Tony, have you located the staff yet?" Natasha asked.

"No, but I found something more interesting."

"Stop getting distracted and find Loki's staff." Cap ordered. I sighed and turned away from the ship. I spotted a familiar blue glow and found the staff. With a covered hand, I picked it up and began walking out the room.


I stopped at the door and looked back at the strange airship (well that is what I thought it was). Amazingly, I could see it a bit better. There was a strange anchor-like thing on the bottom with sharp edges and more sharp ridges could be seen. There was also a strange spine-like pattern on the top of the long the ships' long nose. It did look like an airship of sorts, but I couldn't classify where it was from. I had already concluded that Hydra couldn't make such a thing, but the skull was an interesting match. Making a mental note to come back and retrieve the ship, I went back to the group. 


Later...once Ultron "killed" Jarvis (because I don't want to write all that)


"You never know what elst is out there that can kill us or destroy the world! I distinctly remember saving this world from aliens and beasts from space, not too long ago. Don't you all remember? We need something that can protect the world not just from the inside, but the outside!" I explained angrily, but then I realized something, no remembered. It was something that I had seen earlier that was probably not from this world (not Thor), the strange ship.

"We really need to protect ourselves by ourselves." Cap said.

"We need to end your project Ultron. It's going to destroy the world with what's happened so far." Natasha said in a deadpan voice.

"I know, I know, but the source of Ultron's power is from another world. To destroy it the power has to be from another world or source that is stronger, and by what I have seen, there isn't a power stronger, but I have seen a possibility." I said.

"What possibility did you see?" Hawkeye asked.

"A strange airship on the hangar where I found the staff." I replied. A round of sighs fills the air. I raised my hands in surrender, "I know it sounds like another crazy and horrible idea, but if this ship is from another world, we might have a chance."

"I guess we could take a look at it." Banner agreed reluctantly. 


...  


We opened the secret door and walked down the hall, but there seemed to be more doors than I remembered. 


"Everyone split up and try to find the hangar." Cap ordered. 


"Hey there's a person here." Natasha called over. We all ran over and saw a man bound in chains. He had thick wavy brown hair and a muscular form. His hair covered the right side of his face where a black eye-patch could be seen. Behind his patch, a long ragged scar came over his nose and ended on his left cheek. He wore tall black leather boots that went up to the mid-thigh, black leather pants with two belts at the waist that had skulls as the buckles. A tight black jacket with a white skull on it and leather gloves. He also had a high-collared black cape that also covered his chest and shoulders. It was red on the inside and torn at the end, and the clasp was yet another skull. A holster for a large pistol was on his right thigh, and the pistol was hanging on the wall alongside a strange looking sword with a skull on the hand guard (pardon me for not knowing everything about swords...all I know is that the Masamune is 7ft long). I began to wonder what this guy's obsession over skulls was about.


"Who are you?" Natasha commanded. The man's head lifted slightly and a faint chuckle was heard, "I think one should state their own name, before asking someone else theirs." he said in a smug tone. His voice was low and rough. Yet it seemed soft all the same.


"I'm the Black Widow. So, who are you?" Natasha asked sharply.

"Black Widow?" the man questioned though he didn't move to look up at her.

"Yes, now state your name." Natasha ordered.

"You really want to know?" the man asked.

"Yes." I could tell Natasha was losing her patience.

"I'm Captain Harlock."

"Captain?" I questioned.

"Yes, I am captain of the Pirate Ship Arcadia."

"You mean that strange ship I saw in the hangar?" I asked.

"Probably, if it had a skull." Harlock replied.

"Verrry funny." I smirked.

The hangar still had the large ship in it. When Harlock entered the room a low rumble of an engine starting to run was hear. A red glow was seen from the front of the ship and a yellow glow came from the engines behind. It seemed like the whole ship had a reaction to the Captain's presence. 


"Is that the Arcadia?" Hawkeye asked.

"Yes, it is my ship." Harlock replied. With that, he jumped up and landed on the port side of the Arcadia. Jumping higher he reached a door and entered his ship. Immediately, the engines began to roar louder, the yellow glow enhancing along with the red. The ship began to move slowly at first but then it sped up and began its way towards the wall. 

"He's gonna crash" Natasha yelled. We all watched as the Arcadia neared the wall, but then it disappeared. To rings of black clouds dispersing in the air and beams of light were all that remained.

"Where did he go?" Cap asked quietly. We all heard a low rumble of a giant engine outside. The building began to shake and crack.

Alright, done with the first chapter. Now, this story is also on my FanFiciton page under a different name. So, if you have already read it there, don't think I'm copying. I also know that this story didn't end with a "I can't wait for the next chapter!!! XD!!! " kind of thing, but I will work to make it better.
