The Ms Marvel Chronicles
Data Entry: 12/28/2010
Everything is black and I can hear only the sound of my own breath as a hand shakes my right shoulder. I must be coming to as I can hear someone say my name as they turn me on to my back.
"Carol." The voice says again as I can now see red through my shut eye lids. I begin to blink as I try to focus on the person calling me.
"Carol you have to wake up." The voice of a paniked young woman rings through my ears.
My eyes finally focus on the face on a young blonde haired woman trying to rouse me from my slumber. As my mind finally begins to function on all levels I recognize the young woman wearing my original costume as Tsu-Zana, or as she is known to her freinds, Suzi.
"Suzi... wha..." I barely manage to say that before the all to familar sound of cannon shells whistle through the air and proceed to impact near Suzi... sorry, Ultra Girl and myself.
Dirt and asphault are flung into the air and spray the area where we're at. Luckily the two of us are both invulnerable but it's the principal of the matter at hand.
I cough as I breath in the smokey air. I can hear the sounds of tanks and infantry troops aproaching our position and motion for Ultragirl to take flight. Another shell explodes withing five feet of our position and using the smoke and debree as cover we launch ourselves into the air. We fly extremely fast until we reach the clouds and use the momentary cover to try and catch our bearings.
"Do you think they saw us take off?" Ultra Girl asks.
"Not sure. Even if they did I doubt that they can see us in this cloud cover." I reply.
Of course because I just uttered the words Mr. Murphy has to intervine and Suzi and I hear the sounds of turbines in the distance. Judging by the sounds they are single turbine so it could be any number of U.S. or foreign fighter planes as I still have no idea where we are. The quick look of then tanks and uniforms I got before the last bombardment told me that at the very least we are not being attacked by our own troops for some reason. I am brought back to reality by the sounds of an automatic cannon firing at our position.
The first volley miss us initially due to are small stature but the second hits Suzi center mass and sends her back towards the ground. Exiting the cloud cover I take aim at the plane, a Saab-39 Gripen, and let a blast of energy loose from my left hand. The blast strikes the left wing blowing it off the plane. I watch as the plane begins to spin out of control and the pilot ejects before his aircraft smashes into the ground, exploding in a rather spectacular fireball. I immediately dive for Ultra Girl on the off chance one of the shells managed to wind her enough that she was unable to recover.
As I'm doing this I hear two more planes heading my direction and open fire on me. I smile as the wingman (or woman, who knows right) is removed from the equation by my protege who not only recovered from her attack but decided she needed a bit of retribution. I watch as Susanna seperates the cockpit from the rest of the plane. Apparently the pilot decided to eject from the plane rather than test their sidearm on Suzi... smart move on their part.
The final fighter opens up on me but I simply out maneuver the cannon, and as I near the fighter it banks out of the way, executes a barrel roll and then changes course away from the battlefield.
Suzi and I are pretty proud of ourselves until we notice that the advancing army has ceased its advance and is now waiting. We slowly float down and prepare to try and talk to the military force when we see four figures, four female figures, advancing on our position. The one on point then motions for them to stop. Suzi and I touch down and before I can call out to them I find myself flying through the air, not under my own power, and crashing through a nearby building. As I open my eyes I watch as the building I landed in comes tumbling down upon me.
What a day I'm having.
AU: I do not own Ms Marvel or Ultragirl. The are TM of Disney/Marvel.
