(DAY 6: KREE-LAR PENETENTIARY, KREE-LAR CITY, PLANET HALA)

" Great Pama! So, this is what I get from being treasoned?! Those fools!! Curses!! " Colonel Jul-Shek angrily ranted inside the prison cell which the Vroks heard.

" Jules, you need to calm down. We're all on the same page here, " Taron heavily sighed and sat on the floor with his father.

" BUT I LOST MY JOB AS THE COLONEL OF THE KREE IMPERIAL ARMY BECAUSE OF THAT BRUTE!! "

" You mean Ronan? "

" Exactly, my friend! He deserves to be in prison not all of us! "

" Well, I can sense of wickedness, too."

" That seems very obvious, " the former councilor nodded.

" O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain! "

" Wait, " Amnon snapped his fingers and asked. " Jul-Shek, is that from a quote of Earth literature? "

" Yes, sir. It's from William Shakespeare's Hamlet. "

" Is the House of Shek related to the Earthman whom you are referring to? " Taron asked another question.

" When I get to Earth, that's I need to find out. "

" Right."

Then, the rest of the blue and pink-skinned prisoners got frightened to see the dark hooded man who they recognized Amnon and Taron Vrok and Jul-Shek indignantly glared at him. Ronan the Accuser walked on the prison hallway along with his companions. The Kree prison guards nervously gulped to see him.

" Do you think your rodents will let us out of here just to remain loyal to your corrupted concept for the Empire?! " Taron defiantly asked as Ronan evily grinned. Beside him, a dark-skinned Kree cyborg confronted the former captain. " We don't work for that nonsense. Infact, you want us to stay here for a long time before your exploit against Nova Empire will come true. "

" I'm afraid this is going to be rough, " Korath blandly spoke. " But in a few minutes, you will experience so much pain that you will submit to the Empire's objectives."

" Just do what you've gotta do, Korath." Ronan impatiently added. " Make it quick. "

" Ronan, you can't be serious! " the other prisoner cried.

" Hey! We can't let you do...." the prison warden paused.

" SILENCE, YOU PIGS! " the corrupted Kree man yelled.

" YES, SIR!! "

Korath took out his white pistol called Necroblaster as everyone got surprised to see him targeting the former Kree Army captain. His father and best friend were anxiously seeing this unexpected execution to happen.

" Wait...this is..." Taron widened his eyes in shock.

" That's right! Your instant execution will happen in seconds, " Ronan answered. " We have signed the Kree-Nova peace pact, but you, your father, and anyone who supports will die! Korath, now! "

Korath aimed at Taron by simply triggering his pistol, but the former Kree Army captain quickly dodged and then blasted him with ultaviolet void energy coming out from his hands and aiming at his opponent. The dark Kree cyborg avoided his blasts and kept shooting him.

" What's happening here?! Captain Vrok is a Kree-Inhuman with void powers?! " the prison warden felt amazed.

" Great Hala! He's gonna make the whole building blown away! " his fellow warden yelled.

" Haha! Perfect! He unleashes his true power to become awfully strong! " Ronan yelped. " Go ahead, Korath! Shoot him! "

" Let's do this! " Taron broke the prison bars using his void powers and superstrength. Korath kept his pistol and made his fighting stance. The Kree Inhuman illuminated his fists with dark violet energy and punched his opponent's gut. Korath fell on the ground which he felt pain and managed to stand up. Everyone was surprised to see the duel between the Inhuman and the cyborg. Korath grabbed Taron's hand and instantly flipped him down, however Taron was able to get himself by leaping and kicked him down. Then he blasted the cyborg away. Ronan defiantly looked at the Kree Inhuman army captain.

" I can't believe that you do this to me. You manifest more power than any Kree man has! " Korath indignantly replied.

" Your strength and agility are impressive too, " Taron replied and turned to the hooded one. " Tell me, Ronan. Did you send this one to attack me? "

" Of course, I did. Since you are representing your father's futile brigade, you deserve to get exterminated! " Ronan answered.

" Captain Vrok, do you think you can easily get out of prison? " Korath defiantly asked and hit him down. " You are the first one to be executed? "

Taron got himself bruised and fallen down on the ground then he quickly regenerated. Korath was about to hit him on his spine, but the elderly Kree man hindered the opponent.

" Ronan, stop this! You're hurting my son! " Amnon cried. " Take me, instead! "

" This doesn't make any sense! " the warden added.

" Ronan and Korath are plotting an instant execution. " his fellow warden said.

" Ahohohoho! Councilor Vrok, you will be next after your son's instant demise, " Ronan grinned. " You traitors deserve death after all! We are thinking to send you all to Vormir."

Taron slowly sat and stood up as he was thinking for his next move in attacking his opponent. He looked at the other prisoners, his father, and his friend who were concerned at this moment. They were all anxious of what would happen next. The Kree Inhuman's eyes turned purple as his body illuminated with the same energy.

" My son is going to be more dangerous as ever, " his father said.

" That's right, " Ronan answered and crossed his arms. " This Kree Inhuman could have been my weapon against the Nova Corps, but you brainwashed him to turn against our empire! "

" You're wrong! He hoped to end this war! "

" So, Taron. Do you think you can cheat death through your powers? " Korath taunted. " A powerful traitor like you deserve to suffer just like your friends? "

" No, you don't understand, " Taron indignantly answered. " You're putting our planet into jeopardy! Even your master is using the empire to destroy everything. Even if I stay here with the others, you will just fail and then DIE. "

Suddenly, the objects began to levitate and break which Taron manipulated them using his powers. Everyone was shocked to see at this moment which Ronan and Korath remained dumbfounded and got hit by the floating objects.

" What on Hala is that?! " Jul-Shek exclaimed.

" Captain Vrok is one of the most powerful Kree men in the planet aside from the Kree Eternal! " the warden added.

" Now, Korath...YOU HAVE YOUR CHANCE!! " Taron released his most powerful energy which the void energy emitted his fist and readied himself to strike his opponent, but Korath walked away and turned to his master. The Kree Inhuman ceased fighting and felt dumbfounded. " Hey, hey, hey, we're not done here! Why are you easily walking away like that? "

" Lord Ronan and I have some important things to do, Captain Vrok. "

" What the hell? We're not even done! "

" That's enough for now. We have other things to do, " Ronan sternly said.

" I will crush you soon, child You're my target for later." Korath added. Taron's eyes turned purple in fury as he was about to attack him, but his father grabbed his hands to calm him down.

" Damn it! " he angrily cursed.

" Son, calm down. " his father reminded.

" Listen mate, we'll find a way to get out of here. " Jul-Shek assured. " If only we could convince our fellow inmates and the prison guards. "

" Lord Ronan, what shall you require of me? " the dark Kree cyborg asked and went walking along with his hooded master.

" Come, we shall go to the Dark Aster and proceed with our next step. "

Korath nodded as he left with Ronan while giving Taron a glare as they left. The rest of the prisoners felt dismayed and heavily sighed which they got dissatisfied of what happened on the entire day. Taron Vrok sat on the floor and leaned his head on the wall. His father and friend remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, a bright portal had flashed the entire place. A pink-skinned Kree man with a silvery-white hair and his blue eyes had met the people. He was wearing a blue hooded poncho, a long sleeved shirt with a yellow Kree star emblem on his black armband, brown pants, a silver chest armor, and a pair of black boots. The people recognized him as they got surprised to see him returning to his home planet and dimension. The blue hooded Kree man gave them a warm grin.

" Former Lieutenant Moragg-Vell! " the other prisoner called his name.

" Hey, guys! Long time no see! I just came from the other Earth doin' some stuff. Ya guys can call me Maverick Verne from now on!" Moragg-Vell answered and turned to his other friends. " Taron, Jules, and Colonel Vrok! What are ya guys doin' here? Damn, ya got framed-up or somethin'? "

" We got accused by Ronan, " Councilor Vrok heavily sighed. " Now, we're in prison for ' betraying the government' and supporting the Kree-Nova peace pact. "

" Then, I got almost killed by his minion just recently. " Taron added.

" Woah! Woah! Woah! Slow down! I just travelled through the Monolith and came to find out why?! " Maverick exclaimed. " Okay, I got the gist. So, that scumbag Ronan pissed ya off! Ya guys need my help, then?! I'm in! I'll join ya to get the hell outta here! I know the right guy to meet ya! Then, we're goin' somewhere else where no Kree man has ever gone before! "
