SIVA UPRISING

Chapter 11

(Earlier: Medical Tent Area, Birnin Zana, Wakanda, 3:40 pm)

     Gladius Fernal had finished healing with injured victims as Christopher Knightfall assisted him in bringing more patients from Amnon, Kai, and Skoúro's retrieval operation. Colonel James Rhodes was safe inside the tent where he was lying down on a stretcher. The long haired mutant and his younger Kree-Hybrid friend came to see him. 

     " So, you guys are gonna check on me, " the African-American Avenger said. 

     " Mr. Marvel and Skoúro just asked me to see how you're doing, " Gladius nodded and used his purging light and Rhythm Stone Energy from his hands to scan Rhodey for any injuries. Until, he found the armored man recovering from them. " Well, you're just back in shape. "

     " Yeah, thanks to your comrades, " Rhodey smiled. " But that thing almost hit me to death. So, those freaks have come back to life, haven't they? "

     " Well, I have just heard from Amnon about the man named Sivarius had started all of these mess. He summoned them to invade this kingdom, " the green-haired answered. 

     Rhodey heavily sighed as he heard more intense fighting from the outside. He slowly sat up from the bed as Gladius and Christopher noticed him. The War Machine clenched his fists in anger, thinking of fighting back. 

    " Rhodey, just stay here! you can't deal this on your own, " Gladius raised his voice. " You're too weak! " 

    " Look guys, I can't lie down and do nothing here! " he cried. " I'm okay! "

 
    " You don't seem okay to us, " Christopher added and said. " You're still recovering from your wounds. " 

    " What are you guys talking about?! I can't take this lame duck..." 

    Suddenly, they heard a crash from a distance when the three men went out of the tent and saw an explosion from the ship's hull. Gladius and Christopher sensed something as they exchanged glances. Rhodey was turning to the mutant and the Kree-Hybrid which he got curious at them.

 
    " Guys?! What's going on? " he asked.

    " Carol..."  Gladius anxiously muttered. " She..."

    " It can't be..." Christopher added and widened his eyes in shock. " No! No! "

    " You mean Captain Marvel, the Mind Stone Bearer? " 

   
    " Yes..." the two replied in unison. 

     " Oh god, more casualties are coming again. " 

    (Streets of Birnin Zana, 3:45 PM) 

     General Okoye saw the tragic deaths of the Dora Milaje troops which the Fallen Splicers and Dregs had made. She remained speechless and silently wept for such disastrous end was done. She knelt down and uttered a Wakandan prayer for the dead. The bald lady general never realized a group of Splicers were behind him and ready to slay her. 

     They were all murmuring in Eliksni and signalling the others to give Okoye a fatal ambush. The other Splicers nodded and turned to her.  The female general was unaware when something had grabbed and punctured her. Then, she opened her eyes and saw herself heavily bleeding on her right leg. She turned around and took her spear. Okoye was ready to fight to death against them, however she was falling down and bleeding profusely. 

    The Splicers were about to give her an instant end, until they ended up as being warped and distorted. The radiant red energy beamed when a scarlet haired cosmic being appeared in the alley holding the Reality Stone. The Wakandan lady general was surprised to see him. Détente gave the Splicers an evil grin and poked one into ashes until they all got decimated in a domino effect.
