"Yo Shuri!" I said as i walked into her lab
"Yes Quill?" She Asked as i walked up to her.
"How's my new suit coming along?" I asked.
"It's coming along smoothly" she said.
"Awesome" i said. "When will it be ready?" I asked.
"Thirty minutes" she said.
"Damn you work fast" i said.
"I try Thomas" she said as Dash zoomed into the room.
"How's it going babe?" She asked.
"Great, my new suits almost ready" i said.
"Awesome!" Said Dash. "When do i get my vibranium suit?" She asked.
"When i damn feel like making it" said Shuri.
"Fair enough" said Dash.
'Thomas Quill and Rainbow Dash to Throne room' said a voice on the intercoms.
"Mind speeding us over there babe?" I asked.
"No problem" said Dash as she grabbed me and sped us over to the throne room.
*Throne room, 5 seconds later*
"I will never get used to that" i said.
"Quill" said T'Challa.
"Yes your Majesty?" I asked.
"I have good news, and bad news" said T'Challa.
"You know i like my desert first" i said.
"The good news is Bucky's ready to wake up" said T'Challa.
"Alright, and the veggies?" I asked.
"Cap is a wanted criminal world wide, so he cant be here" said T'Challa. "And sense he left Wakanda in the first place, we cant help him with out every nation declaring war on us" said T'Challa.
"That's terrible news" i said.
"Couldn't i speed him here?" Asked Dash.
"No" i said. "After Quick Silver was reveled to the world all nations have tech to sense super speed" i said.
"Shit" said Dash.
"When do we wake Bucky up?" I asked.
"In 28 minutes" said T'Challa.
"Alright, ill bee there" i said.
"So will I" said Dash.
*Twenty-eight minutes later*
"Alright everyone, we ready to wake him up?" Asked Shuri.
"Yes Mam" said all the doctors as Bucky's pod started to open.
"Huh, ware am I?" He asked.
"Bucky, you remember me?" I asked.
"Thomas, Steve's friend" said Bucky.
"That's right, where in Wakanda"
"Right you and Steve brought me here" said Bucky.
"That's right, Shuri here has fixed your head" i said. "No more being an evil puppet" i said.
"Thank you" he said to Shuri.
"Your welcome Sargent Barns" said Shuri. "Now Thomas, if you would follow me, your suits ready" she said to me.
"I'll be right there" i said as she left. "I gotta go with her, but Dash will escort you around" i said as i left.
*2 minutes later*
"This suit is kick ass" I said.
"I'm glad you think so" said Shuri.
"I'm defiantly giving this thing a test run" i said.
*Two hours later*
"How long was i gone?" I asked as i got back from said test run.
"Two hours" said Shuri.
"Not that bad" i said.
"What you want to do now?" Asked Dash.
"That's up to you babe" i said.
"I don't know, that's why i asked you" said Dash.
"Fair enough" i said.
"You two honestly cant think of anything to do?" Asked Shuri.
"Nope" me and Dash replied.
"Yall's brains are lazy" said Shuri.
"I resemble that remark" i said.
"Don't you mean represent?" Asked Dash.
"I know what i said" i said.
"OK" said Dash.
"You two are weird" said Shuri.
"Says the sixteen year old super genius" i said.
"Hey!, I resemble that remark" said Shuri, making all three of us laugh.
"Hey Shuri, i know this kid named Peter, i think you two would be the best of friends" i said.
"Whats his last name?" Asked Shuri.
"Parker" i said.
"I'll look him up" said Shuri.
"You do that" i said. "Me and Dash are gonna go do something" i said.
"That is?" Asked Dash.
"What do we do whenever theirs nothing else to do?" I asked.
"Oh" said Dash. "I'm down" she continued.
*Next day*
"What fucking time is it?" I asked as i leaned up in bed.
"Eleven PM" said Dash as she sat up and got out of bed.
"Why is that to early?" I asked.
"Good question" said dash.
*Two hours later*
I was testing my new suit again.
"THIS SUIT IS FUCKING AWESOME!" I yelled.
"I'm glad you like it" said Shuri. "I spent a day working on that" she continued.
"I've been meaning to ask, Hows Bucky doing?" I asked.
"The wolf?, he's doing great" said Shuri. "He loves the small village not far from here" she continued.
"You mean the fake Wakanda?" I asked.
"Yep" said Shuri.
"Wanna go test some weapons?" Asked Shuri.
"Hell yes!" Me and Dash yelled.
*3 hours later*
"That was fun, but me and Dashie are gonna hit the hay" i said.
"I'll see ya in the morning guys" said Shuri.
"Roughly thirty-six hours tell Black Panther happens Sir" said Karen.
"Thanks K" i said.
"Are you ready for that?" Asked Dashie.
"I honestly dont know" i said.
*roughly 12 hours later*
"Twenty-four hours until Black Panther Sir" said Karen.
"Thanks K" i said. "Wake up Dashie, we got 24 hours tell Black Panther starts" i said as i woke Dashie up.
"God fucking damn it" said Dashie. "It's midnight... this is fucking bullshit" she said.
"I agree" i said. "Still needs to be done tho" i continued. "Now get your ass in your super suit, we need to get ready for the movie" i finished as i slapped her on her ass.
"Your really handsome... if you want to stay that way you wont slap my ass again" she said as she pushed me up against the wall. "Got it?" She asked.
"Got it" i said as she kissed me and walked into the bath room to change into her suit.
*30 minutes later, Shuri's lab*
"Alright you two, why am i up at this god forsaken hour?" Asked Shuri.
"We need to speed things along" i said. "Is Dashie's new suit ready yet?" I asked.
"Yes, i planed on giving it her tomorrow" said Shuri.
"Well you gotta give it to me know, we have twenty-three and a half hours until the next big events Thomas knows about happen" said Dashie.
"Fine" said Shuri as she went to go get Dashie's suit. "Follow me" she continued.
"That looks bad ass" said Dashie.
"It's perfect, thanks Shuri" i said.
"Your both welcome, now im gonna go back to bed" said Shuri as she left.
"Get changed, we dont have much time" i said.
"Right" said Dashie.
*30 minutes later, training grounds*
"You ready Dashie?" I asked.
"Are you?" She said as she started to run. Next second i was on the ground. "What, you didn't see that coming?" She asked.
"I did" said Karen.
"Wow... thanks Karen" i said sarcastically.
"Your welcome Sir" said Karen even more sarcastically.
"Well this is gonna be fun" i said.
*12 hours later, throne room*
"T'Challa" i said.
"Thomas" said T'Challa.
"How goes it?" I asked.
"It goes good" he said. "I dont think i need to tell you what happens tomorrow" he continued.
"Your right, you dont" i said. "Or tonight for that mater" i continued. "Just do all us guys a favor tonight" i continued.
"Sure, what?" He asked.
"Dont freeze" i said making his head of guard snicker.
"God damn it" he said. "Anyway, id actually like you to provide air saport on tonight's mission" he continued.
"Im down" i said. "It'll give me a front row seat to you freezing" i said as his head guard started to laugh.
"I heard the suffering of my brother!" Yelled Shuri as she burst through the doors with Dashie.
"Yep, was telling him not to freeze tonight" i said making Shuri laugh.
"I might just reconsider letting you join the mission" said T'Challa.
"Im sorry" i said getting really serious all of a sudden, everyone laughing.
*5 hours before mission*
"I think that does it for training today, let's enjoy the last five hours before all hell breaks lose" i said.
"I can agree to that" said Dashie.
"Of course you can" i said.
*Shuri's lab, 30 minutes later*
"Alright Shuri, we've got four and a half hours until the mission, what you got for us?" I asked.
"I've got all sorts of cool shit for the whole crew" said Shuri. "Follow me" she continued as she left, me and Dashie following her.
*Launch pad, 5 minutes later*
"First we have the crews highly modified jet" said Shuri. "And as for shit you'll be using Thomas, that's it" she continued.
"That's cold" i said. "I'll see ya later babe" i said to Dashie as i got on the ship.
"What about me?" Asked Dashie.
"Im afraid you cant come on this mission Dash" said T'Challa.
"Why not?" Asked Dashie.
"Because i said so" said T'Challa with a smirk.
"Fuck you your majesty" said Dashie as she left.
"Brother" said Shuri. "All the things you'll be using on this mission are on the ship" she continued. "With instructions" she continued before turning to T'Challa's head guard. "You better tell me if he freezes Okoye" she said.
"We both will!" I yelled from the ship earning a laugh from Shuri and Okoye.
"God damn it" said T'Challa as him and Okoye got on the ship.
*1 hour until events of Black Panther start*
"Let's go over the plan one last time" i said. "You go down there and kick there asses and rescue Nakia" i continued. "While me and Okoye provide air saport" i finished.
"Yep" said T'Challa and Okoye.
"Alright, sounds like a plan" i said as T'Challa walked away from me and Okoye. "Thirty dollars says he freezes" i whispered to her.
"I cant bet against you, ill lose" she said.
"This is true" i replied.
"There something else you want Quill?" She asked.
"Yeah, to get this mission over with" i said.
"And whys that?" She asked.
"Because the sooner this gets done, the sooner the whole movie gets done" i said.
"What do you mean movie?" She asked.
"He means more of the future he knows is about to unfold" said T'Challa.
“The tiny nation of Wakanda is mourning the death of its monarch, King T'Chaka. The beloved ruler was one of many confirmed dead...after a terrorist attack at the United Nations a week ago. The suspect has since been apprehended. Though it remains one of the poorest countries in the world… fortified by mountain ranges… and an impenetrable rainforest… Wakanda does not engage in international trade or accept aid. The succession of the throne… is expected to fall to the oldest of the king's two children… Prince T'Challa” said a reporter on one of the screens inside a wakandan jet.
“My Prince...coming up on them now” said Okoye, piloting the jet.
“I will get Nakia out as quickly as possible” said T’Challa.
“Just don't freeze when you see her” I said flying alongside the jet.
“What are you talking about? I never freeze” said T’Challa as he jumped out of the jet and threw a couple tiny objects at a military transport. The cars stop working and come to a complete stop. The military men then get attacked by a bing dressed like a Black Panther all of the rendered unconscious but one, who was sneaking up on T’Challa. I fired a taser disc and struck the militant right in the forehead, he fell to the ground unconscious. I landed next to T’Challa.
“I got you six” I said sarcastically.
“You missed one” he said walking up to a smaller soldier.
“T’Challa no! This one’s just a boy, he got kidnaped as well. Why are you hear? You ruined my mission” said Nakia.
“My father is dead Nakia. I will be crowned king tomorrow, and i wish for you to be there” said T’Challa.
“Carry yourselves home now, & take the boy. Get him to his people, & speak nothing of this day” said Nakia to the kidnaped women and children as they left.
*A few hours later*
The jet landed in front of the royal ‘palace’ and all four of us walked out of it and up to T’Challa’s Mom and Sister.
“Did he freeze?” Asked Shuri.
“No, but i did have to save his ass” i said as i walked up and fist bumped her, still inside my suit.
“Are you finished?” Asked T’Challa. “How are you feeling today Mama?” He asked his mother.
“Proud. Your father and i would talk about this day all the time. He is with us & it is your time to be king” said His mother.
*Challenger arena, a couple hours later*
T’Challa has had the strength of the Black Panther stripped away from him and has challenged someone to come forward and fight him for the throne. All the tribes say the will not challenge him this day. Then chanting is heard as the banished tribe walks into the stadium.
“M'Baku, what are you doing here?” Asked T’Challa’s mother.
“It's challenge day. We have watched… and listened from the mountains! We have watched with disgust… as your technological advancements have been overseen by a child! Who scoffs at tradition! And now you want to hand the nation over to this prince… who could not keep his own father safe. We will not have it. I, M'Baku… leader of the Jabari…” M’Baku tried to say before getting cut off by T’Challa.
“I accept your challenge, M'Baku” said T’Challa.
The two warriors started to fight. Punches, kicks, and stabs where exchanged before T’Challa had M’Baku in a headlock ready to throw him over the cliff.
“Yield! Don't make me kill you!” Yelled T’Challa.
“I would rather die!” Yelled M’Baku.
“You have fought with honor, now yield!” Yelled T’Challa. “Your people need you, yield man!” He continued.
“I now present to you King T’Challa… the Black Panther” said Suri.
“Wakanda forever!” Yelled T’Challa.
“Wakanda forever!” Yelled everyone present.
*Shuri’s lab, a day later: after Klaue has been found heading to korea*
“I've already sent a car ahead to Busan for you. Who are you taking with you to Korea?” Asked Shuri.
“Okoye, Nakia & Thomas as well” said T’Challa.
“Alright then. Come with me brother, i have great things to show you” said Shuri. “Here are your communication devices for Korea. Unlimited range, also equipped with audio surveillance system.”
“Impressive” i said. She leads us to two Black Panther necklace parts of the suit.
“Which one do you want?” Asked Shuri.
“This one” said T’Challa pointing to the silver one.
“Now tell it to go on and strike it anywhere” said Shuri. T’Challa does as instructed and goes flying backwards.
“Not that hard dumbass” i said.
“She said to strike it, didn't say how hard” said T’Challa.
*That night: location of Klaue’s deal*
“Spread out, the buyer is likely already here” said T’Challa.
“Just spotted an old friend that works for the CIA” i said walking over to him. “Agent Ross” i said as i walked up to him.
“Thomas” said Ross.
“You're the one buying from Klaue” i said. “Don't try to deny it, you know i know” i continued.
“Do me a favor, stay out of my way” said Ross.
“No can do, Klaue leaves with me and T’Challa” i said. I walked away and left the building and waited by the road. A few minutes late Klaue and his goons came rushing out of the club like bats out of hell, hopped on their cars and started speeding off, that's when i summoned my suit and started chasing one of the two cars that Klaue wasn't in.
*Hours later, secret CIA base, 2 minutes until Klaue’s interrogation.
“So how long have you been hiding out in Wakanda?” Asked Ross.
“Ever since the Avengers civil war” i said.
“So a whole week, go figure” said Ross.
“I want you to listen to me Ross, i still know enough about the future to know where this all goes when where done with the events of the movie where living, and you should be afraid for the whole planet, cuss when Avengers 3 rolls around… lets just say its not pretty” i said as i walked over to the one way mirror. During the interrogation the wall blew inwards and Klaue escaped. “Don’t go after him, he’s supposed to get away”
“Supposed to?” Asked Nakia.
“Thomas knows the future Nakia” said T’Challa. “We must get Ross to Wakanda, only we can save his life” he continued.
*Wakanda, Shuri’s lab, hours later*
“All right, ware am i?” Asked Ross as he got of the medical table.
“Wakanda” i said as i came out of nowhere and scared the shit out of him.
“This is Wakanda?” Asked Ross.
“Yep, great place” i said. “Me and The Dash love it here” i continued.
“She’s here to?” Asked Ross.
“Yep” said Dashie as she came out of nowhere and scared the shit out of Ross just like i did.
“Will everyone please stop scaring me?” Asked Ross.
“No promises” said Shuri.
“Why did i expect that answer?” Asked Ross sarcastically.
“Cuss your a smart man Mr. Ross” i said. “Now, we best prepare for Killmonger” i said.
“That Ex-Military psychopath is here?” Asked Ross.
“No, but he’s on his way here” i said. “To claim his throne” i continued.
*Throne room, a couple hours later*
“Speak” said T’Challa.
“I'm standing in your house… serving justice to a man who stole your vibranium and murdered your people. Justice your king couldn't deliver” said Erik Killmonger.
“What do you want?” Asked T’Challa.
“The throne” said Erik. “Y'all sittin' up here Comfortable. Must feel good. It's about two billion people all over the world that looks like us. But their lives are a lot harder. Wakanda has the tools to liberate 'em all” he continued.
“Our weapons will not be used to wage war on the world. It is not our way to be judge, jury and executioner… for people who are not our own” said T’Challa.
“Not your own? But didn't life start right here on this continent? So ain't all people your people?” Asked Erik.
“I am not king of all people. I am king of Wakanda. And it is my responsibility to make sure our people are safe… and that vibranium does not fall into the hands of a person like you” said T’Challa.
“I am N'Jadaka, son of Prince N'Jobu. I'm exercising my blood right to challenge for the mantles of king… and Black Panther” said Erik.
“I accept your challenge” said T’Challa.
“He'll never beat T'Challa. He should've just come to the first challenge and gotten it over with” said Shuri.
“The king will now have the strength of the Black Panther stripped away” said Suri.
“Where is Agent Ross?” Asked Nakia.
“I locked him in the office. He's not going anywhere” i said.
“This is your last chance. Throw down your weapons, and we can handle this another way” said T’Challa.
“I lived my entire life waiting for this moment. I trained, I lied, I killed… just to get here. I killed in America, Afghanistan… Iraq. I took life from my own brothers and sisters right here on this continent. And all this death… just so I could kill you” said Erik.
“Let the challenge begin” said Suri. After a long and hard battle Erik is about to kill T’Challa when Zuri interrupts him.
“Erik!” He yells. “I am the cause of your father's death. Not him. Take me” he continued.
“I'll take you both, Uncle James” Erik stabs Zuri who falls over. Erik walks over to T’Challa.
“Is this your king? Huh? Is this your king?” Asked Erik. “The Black Panther, who's supposed to lead you into the future? He's supposed to protect you? Nah. I'm your king” He said as he kicked T’Challa off the cliff.
*Hours later, the lost tribe medical room*
“Is he breathing?” Asked T’Challa’s mother.
“He's in a coma. Barely clinging to life” i said walking into the room.
“So this is where you went when after he was defeated” said shuri.
“Yep” i said.
*After the ritual to give T’Chall his power back*
“Killmonger has the full support of our military. And he burned the garden of the Heart-Shaped Herb” said Nakia.
“Of course he did. That's what he was trained to do. His unit used to work with the CIA to destabilize foreign countries. They would always strike at transitions of power… like an election year, or the death of a monarch. You get control of government, the military, and resources” said Ross.
“The Great Mound. Our vibranium, all of my designs. He will send our weapons all over the world. You must get them out of Wakanda safely” said Shuri.
“The challenge will have to continue” said T’Challa.
“T'Challa, we will not leave Wakanda” said Nakia.
“It is my duty to keep you safe” said T’Challa.
“If he gets control of your technology, nowhere will be safe” i said.
“The Black Panther lives. And when he fights for the fate of Wakanda… I will be right there beside him” said Shuri.
“As will I” i said.
“I'm in, too” said Ross. “You're gonna need all the help you can get” he continued.
*Hours later at the landing pads around Shuri’s lab, an explosion breaks out and T’Challa is standing in the ruble.
“He lives” said one of the soldiers now loyal to Erik.
“N'Jadaka!” Yelled T’Challa.
“Wassup?” Asked Erik.
“I never yielded! And as you can see, I am not dead!” Said T’Challa.
“All that challenge shit is over with! I'm the king now! Get those planes in the air! Carry out the mission!” said Erik.
“Shuri, now” i said over the radio.
“Copy that” she responded.
“W'Kabi, man, kill this clown” said Erik.
“W'Kabi, the challenge is not complete” said T’Challa as he turns to Erik. “Your heart
is so full of hatred… you are not fit to be a king!” He yelled.
*after a great fight between me, Erik, and T’Challa we all ended up on the bottom track inside the vibranium mine.
“The stabilizers will deactivate your suit brother! You won't have protection!” Yelled Shuri.
“Neither will he” i said.
“I don't need a suit to kill you. Your reign is over! You sat up here, safe and protected” Yelled Erik.
“You want to see us become just like the people you hate so much. Divide and conquer the land as they did!” Yelled T’Challa.
“Nah, I learn from my enemies. Beat them at they own game” said Erik.
“You have become them! You will destroy the world, Wakanda included!” I said.
“The world took everything away from me! Everything I ever loved! But I'mma make sure we're even. I'mma track down anyone who would even think about being loyal to you! And I'm gonna put they ass in the dirt right next to Zuri!” Yelled Erik as he charged the two of us.
*After a fierce battle T'Challa manages to land the hit that will kill Erik slowly, but not painfully.*
*Cliff side edge*
“This is it for you, Cousin” said T’Challa.
“My pop said Wakanda was the most beautiful thing he ever seen. He promised he was gonna show it to me one day. You believe that? Kid from Oakland, running around believing in fairy tales. It's beautiful” said Erik.
“Maybe we can still heal you” i said.
“Why? So you can just lock me up? Nah. Just bury me in the ocean… with my ancestors that jumped from the ships. 'Cause they knew death was better than bondage” said Erik as he pulled out the knife in his gut and bleed out.
*Days later, random basketball court across from a hotel in california*
“When you said you would take me to California for the first time… I thought you meant Coachella… or Disneyland. Why here?” Asked Shuri.
“This is where your father killed your uncle. They're tearing it down” i said.
“Good” said Shuri.
“They are not tearing it down. I bought this building. And that building. And that one over there. This will be the first Wakandan International Outreach Center. Nakia will oversee the social outreach. And you will spearhead the science and information exchange” said T’Challa.
“You're kidding” said Shuri.
“He’s not, i'm going to be security for the second one in New York City” i said.
*Day later, countries of the world conference*
Im clocked in my WarMachine armor watching from the door.
“My name is King T'Challa… son of King T'Chaka. I am the sovereign ruler of the nation of Wakanda. And for the first time in our history… we will be sharing our knowledge and resources… with the outside world. Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We cannot. We must not. We will work to be an example of how we… as brothers and sisters on this earth… should treat each other. Now, more than ever… the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth. More connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis… the wise build bridges… while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way… to look after one another… as if we were one, single tribe” said T’Challa.
“With all due respect, King T'Challa… what can a nation of farmers have to offer the rest of the world?” Asked the leader of a random country as T’Challa smirked and only one thought went through my mind… ‘show time’
To be continued...
