Today, I finished Chapters 21, 27, 28, and 29. In Chapter 21 concludes the side stories for the story, with the Elemental Universe (Universe E) as it's setting. Agent E is in his Command Center, trying to plan his next move. Not only does he have to worry about his Universe due to the current Avatar (Aang) still being trained, but now, he has to worry about Agent N coming for him. Suddenly, he is alerted that the Fire Nation is attacking the Air Nomads, where the current Avatar is being trained. Knowing it's a trap, Agent E knows that he can't risk the Avatar being killed, and teleports there.
However, by the time he gets there, the battle has already been finished, with all of the Air Nomads being killed. Agent E falls to his knees as he takes all of it in. Suddenly, Agent N appears behind him, mocking him. When Agent N reveals that he was the one who opened the gate for the Fire Nation to walk through, Agent E loses it. He lunges towards Agent N, attacking him with the power of the elements. He lands some strikes on Agent N, and it looks like he can win. However, Agent N was only tricking Agent E by having him tire himself out. Once Agent E couldn't fight anymore, Agent N executed his opportunity. He managed to rip Agent E's Core out of him, and threw him over a cliff, killing him.
The story then goes to a girl named Madison Brand, who is walking home from her job when she decides to make a trip to the market. There, she notices that two Fire Nation guards are harassing a vendor for not paying them for "insurance". Angered, Madison throws a rock at them, angering them. Realizing that she bought off more than she could chew, Madison began running. Once getting to a dead end, Madison thought she was done for. Before the guards could attack her with fire, she was teleported.
When she woke up, Madison noticed that she was on an island, thinking that she was dead. But then, the island grew, revealing that it wasn't an island at all, but instead an Element Turtle. Confused, Madison asked what was going on. The Element Turtle explained to her about the Protectors.
Later, the Element Turtle asked if Madison was up to the challenge, to which she agreed. Using his power, the Element Turtle gave Madison the power of all elements. After receiving her new powers, Madison had trouble controlling them. The Element Turtle then told her that he would train her on how to master her abilities. This is where the chapter ends.
In Chapter 27, Doctor Strange fights Doctor Doom. As the two have a brief chat, they begin to use their powers to fight. Doctor Doom continues to launch blows of green lightning at the Sorcerer, but he easily deflects them. Doctor Strange then teleports Doctor Doom to the Fire Dimension, where they continue to fight. Doctor Strange then entraps Doom, and decides to leave him there as punishment.
'
However, as he opened a portal to leave, Doctor Doom broke free and struck the Sorcerer with a burst of green lightning. Caught off guard, Doctor Strange was damaged and fell. Doctor Doom then exited the portal, and was about to strike a finishing blow on the Sorcerer. Doom asked Strange if he had any last words, to which the Sorcerer responded "Brace yourself".
Confused, Doctor Doom turned around and say Ethan in his giant form, kicking him into the air. Ethan then shrunk back to his normal self and aided the Sorcerer. After a brief chat, the two went after Doctor Doom. This is where the Chapter ends.
In Chapter 28, Agent X fights a weakened Agent N, who cannot use his powers. As Agent X takes out his two swords and Agent N activates his pike, the two charge towards each other. The two kept blocking each other's blows until Agent X blasted Agent N with his Core. With Agent N on the ground, Agent X prepared to strike his Core.
Before he could do that, Agent X was thrown away by the Reverse Flash, who just exited a portal. The speedster then proceeded to give Agent N the Dark Stone and Staff. Agent X couldn't believe his eyes, and realized tat this was all a distraction.
As Agent N put the two objects together, it emitted a massive amount of Dark Energy. When the Dark Energy cleared, Agent N was holding the Dark Stone in his hands. Agent X tried to get up, but was too weak. The Reverse Flash then urged Agent N to give him his payment, with Agent N agreeing. He the pulled out a vial containing Velocity X, a speed drug that could give the user unlimited speed and power.
Agent N then proceeded to leave, walking through a portal. Agent X saw the Reverse Flash holding the vial, laughing. Agent X knew that he couldn't have the serum, so with all of his power, Agent X blasted the serum with his hand, destroying it. Enraged, Thawne ran up to Agent X and struck him over and over.
Finally, Thawne chocked Agent X, and vibrated his hand towards the Protector's Core. However, before he could do it, Thawne was made frozen by Ben, who was using the Force. Barry then ran up to Thawne and punched him, knocking him out.
Later, the team finds out about what happened, and the team boards the Universe Jumper to report back to Verndari and come up with a plan. This is where the Chapter ends.
In Chapter 29, the Protectors travel back to the Unknown Sector, where Verndari is waiting. Once they land, the Grand Protector greets them, urging them to follow him as he has something to show them. When they enter the room, they see three other people standing there. He explains that after discovering that Agent N possessed the Dark Stone, he deiced to search the Multiverse for anyone that could help, leading him to the three individuals.
Verndari introduces them to Andrew Hunter of Universe L (appears in Chapter 13), who is wearing a white power ring. Next is Brandon Riley (appears in Chapter 15), who is wearing a strange-looking watch. And finally, he introduces them to Madison Brand (appears in Chapter 21), who is wearing battle armor.
After the introduction, Verndari and the team begin discussing the plan. They plan on teleporting to Homeworld, where they would move towards the giant energy shield protecting the Grand Temple. The only way to get through the shield is if they focused a massive amount of energy on a specific spot which would briefly open a hole in the shield. Once through, they would move into the Grand Temple to find Agent N. Agent X believes that Agent N would be in the Observatory.
After finishing the plan, the team began preparing.
Once finished, everyone boarded the Universe Jumper. Agent X had a brief chat with Verndari, wishing him and his team luck. Once finished, the team set off on their mission. This is where the Chapter ends.
Like the previous entry, I will explain more about the villains seen in Chapter 27.
Victor Von Doom (Doctor Doom)
Abilities:
*Magic
*Control Electricity
*Telepathy
Equipment:
*Green Cloak
*Vibranium Armor
Bio: Victor Von Doom allowed Reed Richards to bring a team to a solar flare, believing they could use it to create a new type of energy. Going into space with them, Victor, along with the other members, became exposed to the solar flare's energy, reorganizing their genes. Later, Victor found out that the flare gave him the power of telepathy along with controlling nearby electricity. This drove Victor to evil, using his power to take over the world under the alias Doctor Doom. However, his plan was stopped by the Fantastic Four.
Doctor Doom later formed the Legion of Doom, a group of Supervillains who wanted to stop the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. His advanced abilities made him a perfect choice for Agent N's group of villains.
Before I end this update, here is a few interesting facts about the chapters:
*Chapter 21 takes place after the events of Chapter 5
