MAALOTDEZEEM IS STANDING IN A FIELD ROLLING MARBLES IN HER RIGHT HAND. She studied the trees, the vast space, the energy barrier. She can see the dropships sticking out between the trees, but she doesn't see anyone coming out. She can hear the hovercrafts a few feet behind her with Wakandan armed forces dismounting and joining the formations that are gathering to face the invaders.
After Heimdall and Maalot left the Avengers and their friends behind in the room, Maalot got on her ship and flew out to the field to plan out fighting strategies. She has no doubt that Sybbyl is doing the same from up there. Many strategies came to mind but she won't know which one will work once she sees their opponent. Thanos could've recruited anything or anyone from the depths of space, that's not including the types of weapons he has, or the machinery.
Maalot closed her eyes, took in a deep steady breath and continued to roll the marbles in her hand ignoring the chanting behind her and the sounds of War Machine and Falcon flying over everyone on ground. After a couple of seconds, Maalot turned around and as she walked up to the Avengers, she looked down at the metal wristband around her left wrist and tapped something. The ship's engine turned on, raised in the air and flew back to the palace.
"It's still not late to tell you who created humans" Maalot smiled at the Avengers.
"I'd rather not know" T'Challa kindly told her. She giggled.
"Fine" she rolled the smooth marbles in her hand which helped keep her calm before the impending chaos.
"Thank you for standing with us" Steve told Maalot.
She smiled small. "I'm sorry it's just me. If there were more time I would've come with more soldiers, but I was near your planet so here I am" She stopped rolling the marbles as she looked around trying to locate her friends but only saw the Wakandans and the Avengers. "Where are Sybbyl, Loki and Heimdall?"
"We're on our way" Loki's voice rang through the comms. Just as Loki finished saying that, Heimdall informed them that Cull Obsidian and Proxima Midnight are nearing the tree line.
Maalot stepped back from the group, shoved the marbles in an empty pocket of her pants and then pulled out a blue gem band diadem from another pocket. She placed it on her head, the center of the diadem is resting just above her forehead. The centerpiece is a sky blue stone and it's bigger than the other gems in the diadem. The drops on the sides make it look regal, and the way the light reflects on it- it made the Avengers wonder why Maalot had such a beautiful piece of jewelry stuffed in the pocket of her pants. Made them wonder if she's some type of royalty on her planet. How didn't it get tangled in there?
She looked down at her wristband, tapped it and a hologram appeared over it. She began to tap and turned to her left and walked down the formation as she spoke in her native language.
Sybbyl made her way to the front of the formation of the Wakandan armed forces. Heimdall and Loki are just behind her but Sybbyl has her eyes set on the two distant figures standing behind the energy barrier. Steve, T'Challa and Natasha are already walking back after they've spoken to them.
