Marvel: Breezing Through History as an Eternal

Chapter 59: Interspecies War. 200 CE

[3rd POV]

In the Domo, Pluto and Thena were eating at the dining table in the ship. In front of them are Ajak, looking at them rather seriously.

“So, what’s this about?” questioned Pluto as he drank from his mug. “Is this about me and Thena together? You know you can’t force us to separate.”

“It’s a rather rude move if you’re really going there.” added Thena, eating a piece of bread from her plate.

Ajak’s eyebrow twitched as she heard what they said. “No, it isn’t about that.” she answered calmly.

“Then?”

Ajak sighed. She placed a rather complex device, and put it on the table. She pressed a button on that device, and a video of a battlefield appeared.

“This is taken by Phastos’s Drone.” said Ajak. “In the area between Congo and Wakanda.”

“Okay… what are you saying?”

“Recognize these creatures?” asked Ajak calmly as she zoomed in on the footage, where a rather large Gorilla was fighting against a couple of men. With a stone warhammer…

As soon as they saw that, Pluto and Thena choked on their drinks.

Ajak hummed in amusement. “So you really are the culprits…”

Pluto recovered first. “Is that… Gorillas? Fighting humans?”

“With weapons?” Thena added awkwardly.

“Not only that-” Ajak then tapped the device again, and it shows footage of a rather big ape civilization… They had huts on a tree, and all of them were connected using woods and ropes. “They built homes… big ones.”

Thena and Pluto then turned to each other, already knowing that they were the cause for this. They gulped, and turned to Ajak once more. “I-In our defence, we thought that they’ll just forget it after a couple of centuries…”

“What did you teach them anyways?” asked Ajak again.

“Sign language,” said Pluto awkwardly.

“And how to defend themselves…” added Thena.

Ajak sighed. “Well, you have to deal with this now.”

“D-Deal with what?”

“The war, Pluto, the war.” said Ajak calmly, but Pluto could tell that she was annoyed. “We don’t want an ape civilization terrorising the humans, do we?”

“What do you want us to do then? Kill the apes?” questioned Thena.

“Of course not.” Ajak shook her head. “Try to help the two civilizations get along, make the two sign for peace or something.”

“That’s it?”

“Well, do you want more?” questioned Ajak demandingly. “This is already a mess, we don’t want to wipe out the ape society, just make sure that they won’t trouble the humans.”

“So, we just need to stop the bloodshed?” Thena reconfirmed.

“Yes.” nodded Ajak. “Stop the bloodshed.”

Near the jungle border, an orange portal appeared out of nowhere, making a hole in the fabric of space. From the hole, a man and a woman walked out, wearing a black and white clothes. The man and the woman were frowning, and the two are of course Pluto and Thena.

“You know, this is your fault,” said Pluto suddenly.

Thena, who heard his argument, scoffed. “Why is it my fault?”

“You taught them how to make weapons and fight with them.” answered Pluto.

“You taught them how to speak.” refuted Thena coldly. “You increase their intelligence because of that, and they make a society…”

“They wouldn’t wage war if you hadn’t taught them how to fight,” said Pluto again.

“They would die quickly if I hadn’t taught them how to fight.” Thena once again refuted.

They kept bickering as they neared the ape-made town. As they approached it, they saw something weird… it was their statues, standing at the gate, as if the apes were worshipping it…

“Did you teach them how to make a statue too?” questioned Thena calmly, not looking away at a statue of her.

“I just discovered this, how would I teach them?” said Pluto, defending himself, he too was looking at a statue of him.

“Good point…”

Then, two gorilla guards approached them, they were frowning, and they looked quite threatening if Pluto and Thena were normal humans.

The guards roared at Pluto and Thena, trying to scare them. But it failed, Pluto and Thena just kept standing casually in front of them.

The Gorillas were surprised. A gorilla looked at his partner, and said to the other gorilla with sign language. “Hey Chewie, it doesn’t work, should we just attack them?”

“Do not attack them Azizi, our god says that we do not attack unprovoked.” said the other gorilla, who was named Chewie.

Azizi nodded vigorously. “You’re right Chewie!”

Pluto then coughed, bringing the gorillas’ attention to him. He then said in sign language. “Can I meet with your leader?”

The two gorillas were surprised. “How do you know our language!?” said Azizi while jumping up and down, seemingly alert and excited at the same time.

Pluto smiled. “Who do you think taught you all that?”

Azizi was confused, but then, Chewie tugged him. Azizi looked at Chewie, and saw that Chewie was pale, and he was pointing at a statue of their god.

Azizi looked at the statue, then to Pluto, then to the statue again, and he realised that he is their god.

“A-Are you Eshu?” questioned Chewie, shaking from fear and excitement.

“Is that what Harambe calls me?” Pluto murmured. “I guess so….”

Chewie then turned to Thena, who was also smiling softly at them like a mother smiling at her child.

“A-And you must be I-Ifri…”

“Most likely.” Thena nodded.

The two gorillas then looked at each other, and they jumped around from excitement. “W-We need to tell the king about this Chewie! O-Our gods have come back!”

“Let’s go now Azizi!”

The two gorillas then grabbed the hands of Pluto and Thena, and they dragged him to the middle of the village, where the king was.
