SWNOVELXO Chapter 39: Donald is Dead
THIRD POV—
In a chair, there was sitting a bald man with a patch in his left eye. Around him, there were many people sitting in front of supercomputers. The man's position was alleviated from the others as if, his purpose was to observe the other's work. His name was Nick Fury. Over the past few weeks, he had been monitoring Stella's movements.
"What are you thinking Sir?" said a man, who stood near him.
Frowning, Fury said, "I am thinking about Stella. Coulson, her movements are weird. First, as expected she gets captured by HYDRA then, she escapes, and finally she vanishes."
"Do you think somebody helped her?"
Fury nodded his head. He said, "Definitely, Coulson. She can't do this on her own. She was from 20th century. She is not capable enough to know and use advanced technology by herself."
Coulson asked, "Do you think she joined—"
Shaking his head, Fury interjected, "No. She isn't one who would join HYDRA. Even if she wants to, she can't join them. She very well knows joining them would get her in trouble, a lot of trouble."
"So, what should we do now?"
Clicking his tongue, Fury replied, "Find her. We have to find her."
STELLA'S POV—
There were multiple kronans standing in front of me. Out of them only four were real. Mother Night said, "Is it to your liking? Why am I even asking you?! You must have liked it. The way, you can't hit them as, your hand just passes through them and you," she pointed at me, "gets hit by them. It's just fantastic."
Getting up the ground, I wiped the blood from busted lip. I asked, "Do you think that your illusions can defeat me? It's just a cheap trick of yours."
Hearing my words, Mother Night clapped. She applauded, "I am impressed. Really, I never thought anyone could get my so-called trick, this easily. Good for you."
"So, you don't believe that your fucking pets could take me down, do you? Unless you help them, they can't defeat me by themselves."
Sighing, Mother Night said, "Unfortunately, yes. It's true. Whether I like it or not, you are strong. But strong enough to defeat me."
"That's what everyone says until, they taste the flavour of defeat from me."
Fucking bitch. What should I do now? I can't do anything unless, I find a way to discern between illusions and real ones. Neither hitting nor, shooting would help me here.
What should I do then? Suddenly, an idea clicked my mind. Grenade. But using grenade would cause serious issues here. I mean, blowing of the grenade, might cause this whole cave to collapse. Although, what choice do I have then to take this risk. Taking out a few grenades from my pocket, I threw them around me.
Mother Night yelled, "ARE YOU MAD?! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! YOU WILL KILL US ALL!" Her tone was full of horror. I threw the final grenade around three to four unopened, but this time I pulled out the safety pin, to start the chain reaction. Thankfully these grenades are highly advanced than that of the normal ones. As expected from Marvel.
I know that it's lunacy to just throw grenades inside the cave. But if I get succeed in what I am doing then, I might get the opening that I am looking for.
All of a sudden, with a cane in his hand, Donald came running towards me from my right side with all his might. Fuck! Fuck!! Where did he come from? Is this one of Mother Night's illusion? Just as he tried to say something, he fell on the ground as his cane got obstructed from a rock that was in his path. Like before, I speculated that this fake Donald would vanish, when he hits the ground. But he didn't. My eyes widened in horror as I realised this was the real Donald. As I tried to rush towards him, the grenades blown up all together. This caused me to fly away a several metres away from Donald, until I stopped when I hit the cave's wall. The cave started to shake from this impact, as huge chunks of rocks fell down upon me, burying me in them. After a minute or so, the shaking stopped. With some effort, I got from the debris. The lights were flickering. I was surrounded by debris all around me. Quickly standing up on my feet, I tried to find Donald.
I yelled, "DONALD!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME?"
"DONALD!!!"
Suddenly I spotted a hand that was out from the rubble in front of me. There was a ring in its finger. This hand belongs to Donald. Rushing towards it, I started to clear the rubble, until I found Donald. Taking him out to a clear place, I tried to shake him up, in the hopes of waking him up.
Shaking him, I called, "Donald!! Wake up! Nothing's going to happen anymore. I rescued you. It's over. Wake up!!"
"Donald!!"
"DONALD!!!"
Seeing him not responding at all, a bad premonition raised up within my heart. Closing my eyes, I moved my fingers to his nose to find him not breathing at all. Then, with a heavy hand I put it on his chest. His heart was not beating. It seems like my bad premonition has come true. Donald is dead.
Note— From now on, I will be uploading chapters on Mon, Wed, Fri and Sun. I am also going to start a new fanfic. That fanfic will be uploaded on the alternate days. The genre will be same that is Gender Bender, but it would be Yuri only, with a bottom protagonist.
