Thread: Infinity's Edge (Arctic Fox & HaloHeroWolf118)

The sunset on the home of Xandarian scientist Ovvyr Syzygy. Truth was he could use the rest. He and his family had gone on retreat as the Nova corp and scientists pondered his postulations. Various Infinity stones had crossed his path over his many years. He postulated it was possible to control such stones, or even destroy them. Then over 2 years ago there were ominous omens. Nothing he could pin point exactly. Then last year Xandar was attacked by Ronan and the Kree. Some in authority began thinking his paranoia was more than that. His superior suggested he go on a retreat until some in the Nova corp could discern any threat real or imagined. Unknown to many of his collegues his research was farther along than they thought. He managed to bring his work with him as well as his family. Now this evening he had watched the sun set. His middle daughter Naya came out onto the porch with 2 cups. steam escaping from the liquid. Father...Chagga? She offered him the broth. Thank you Naya he replied. Mother is worried for you. She wants to know when we can go back to Xandar She flipped a tendril of coppery bronze hair that danced across her face. Your mother is always worried he gave a smirk then sipped the broth. What are you working on any way? I'd like to understand it It is hard to explain...In a way it is a weapon and a way to stop a weapon. It... He stopped as a flash caught his eyes. he had to think quick. I'll show you he sat the mug down and led his daughter inside. He knew company was coming, a flash that close and its trajectory meant is was clandestine. Inside he had to be quick, he did not know how much time he had. In to a small lab where his family was not allowed Naya was ushered by her father. The door shut behind them Naya...Daughter...Do you trust me? Of course. she replied. Her sea green eyes looked at him in an uneasy way. What is wrong? I am not sure but my work must not fall into the wrong hands He notices that her neck and part of her collarbone area was showing. In a bell jar case was an oval shaped clear gem with a white star in it. With a pair of tweezers he picked it up. This close both could feel a surge of power in it. She stared at it. Her father approached her as so she could see. It was then both heard weapons fire from outside. Before the first screams could be heard Naya turned her head at the surprising noises her father touched it to her skin between her collarbones. Instantly it burned her skin and grafted itself to her. She screamed as others began screaming. Loud and panicking. She began hearing voices. Not aloud but in her mind. She fell to the floor clutching her head. Her father began burning and destroying his lab. Then even as heavy boots could be heard her father hugged his daughter Naya...I am so sorry...but it was the only way. One hand on her temple he used his other and touched the stone. Instantly she knew what he knew, felt what he felt. It was garbled though. She knew something important just happened, but she would need time to decipher it. He had not expected to survive, but he did Naya, go now...run. Get to Xandar. I love you he sat wearily on the floor. Naya stood up and looked about. There was another door. She had never seen it, but she knew it was there. She did not know how she knew but she did. She could hear danger coming closer. Father? Go! Now! he scolded her Naya opened the secret door and looked about. Then began to run for safety. The families small shuttle. Making it to the forest line she stopped she could see that there were many Kree soldiers including one who looked to be in charge, tall angry looking, rather cruel looking. A moment later she saw her mother and father being flung at his feet. At this distance it was hard to hear them clearly. She could tell her father was asked a question, he refused and her mother was shot. Her hand covered her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. He was asked again, there was another shot. She turned and ran. Unknown to her at that moment is she was spotted. The leader found the last of Ovvyr children. In moments the pursuit began. Naya made it to the shuttle. Luckily she knew how to pilot, not the greatest, but enough. The shuttle was started and was already 15 feet up when the attackers cleared the launch area. Some took shots at it, one or two were even good. She would not make it to Xandar in the shuttle. In less than a minute she cleared the planets field and was space born. She had seen her home being burned as she left. Her heart beating hard she tried to calm herself and think about what happened and what she needed to do. She partially had controls for a jump to Xandar then realized she would not make it. With a navcomputer she punched in a random port to which she could make. The Kree craft watched the shuttle jump. It would be a few hours before she would pop out some where. In that time the Kree and their allies put a bounty on her 1 million units alive! Scavengers and Bountyhunters would be out in force! end part I of prologue
