Meta Essence Gacha in Marvel-Chapter 109: VS Annihilus
Third Person P.O.V.
The quarantined Baxter Building is attracting attention.
It's an obvious development if you think about it for more than three seconds.
A spaceship floating on top of the building, a forcefield shining with red lights and warning words, a dozen androids patrolling the area, and Shadow with Rover acting as a guard.
The whole spectacle reached the intended objective of making the more rational stay away from the area, but the opposite effect is bound to happen too… It's inevitable that people with the survival instincts of moths and jellyfishes would instead get closer to take pictures and to see what is happening.
Luckily, the quarantine is dozens of meters high in the air, on the uppermost floor, so is still pretty safe for the general populace.
The main problem comes from outside the general populace.
It didn't even take a minute after Eidolon and the rest entered the portal that other inhabitants of the World of Superheroes arrived.
Iron Man is the first that reach the area, but it is commendable that the black cars of S.H.I.E.L.D. arrive just as quickly.
Tony Stark's path is blocked by two Failsafe androids that hover in front of him.
"Stay Back." The robotic voice echoes in the air while they put their hand forward in a warning.
"Oh geez, it's rare for me to be barred from a party." He stops, using his hand propulsors to stabilize himself. His HUD visor shows the many androids paying attention to him, but no route ahead that he can use.
He then decides to go down and land close to where he is seeing Natasha and Fury.
"So, do you guys have the invitations?" He asks after landing with a thud.
"My agents are telling me that the elevators are blocked after a certain floor… And the stairs too." Fury says with some annoyance slipping on his words
"We don't even know what happened, but we know that Eidolon went out before the whole place was locked." Natasha says "I don't think we can do much here…" She sighs
"You are even more pessimistic today." Tony notices
"Ugh, I have dealt with that guy more times than you… If he established a perimeter to keep people out, it will keep people out." She rolls her eyes "I'm seeing only one of his people, and that dog, but I bet if we try invading more will pop up. I fear that it will become a battle…"
She barely finished her words when Shadow herself dropped down, doing her own superhero landing in front of them.
"No." She says simply with a hand in the universal sign of "Stop".
"Now what?" Fury asks
"No."

"..."
"I don't think she is very talkative…" Tony says helpfully in a sarcastic tone.
"Where is Eidolon?" Fury also noticed that and decided to ask for the man with the answers.
"Other dimension." Shadow answers dryly
"What other dimension?" Tony is suddenly interested
"From the portal." She says
"Portal?" Their ears perk up at the word. New York and Portals do not go well together.
"To the other dimension…" Shadow continues in a calm tone.
"..."
"Is she doing that on purpose?" Tony asks them
"I kinda like her." Natasha smiles
"Okay…*Huff* Girl, what is Eidolon doing?" Fury decides to try again after recovering his calm with a deep breath.
"Rescuing."
"Rescuing who?"
"People."
"Where? From what?"
"Portal."
"...."
"Romanoff… you try." Fury says tightly.
"Okay~" Natasha steps forward "Hi~, we will need more details than that… Can you answer some questions?" She addresses Cassandra.
"..." The black-clad heroine nods
"What happnenned here?"
"Portal exploded." She answers
"I see… So he is rescuing people caught in the explosion… It is the Fantastic Four?"
Cassandra nods.
"What is on the other side of the portal? Do you know what dimension is?"
"Negative Zone."
"Okay, we are progressing…" Natasha nods to herself. "Can you explain to us what is this 'Negative Zone'?"
"No."
"No, like… You don't want to? Or 'no' like you don't know?"
Cassandra shrugs her shoulders and raises her palms in the universal sign of "Whatever, I have no idea about this"
"I see… Can you help in some way?" Natasha tries to be diplomatic.
"No."
"..."
"..."
"...you are his sidekick, alright." Black Widow rolls her eyes
After that and before she could try to say anything, Shadow removes a paper from her utility belt, gives it to her, and flies high in the air to go back to her position.
"What is this?" Fury and Tony approached to take a look at the paper.
"Oh shit!" It's rare for Susan to curse so this act attracts the attention of She-Hulk
"What now?"
"I… I think… I think I lost Eidolon's gift." She says with her eyes wide, still checking herself. The fanny pack that she is wearing is open and some things fall at some point. "The time where the vacuum sucked the air in the ship…" She murmurs in realization
"Damn, girl~ You fumbled hard now." Jen shakes her head "Let's hope Eidolon will understand."
......….
Eidolon has bigger things to worry about now.
'Ugh… so annoying…' The hero is groaning in his mind while he is being squeezed by the weight of the universe. Or at least this part of the galaxy…
Annihilus got better with the Cosmic Control Rod, his control over the fundamental forces of the Negative Zone increased and now he is using all of them to try to squeeze Eidolon into a pulp.
The forces are so strong that even Eidolon is reduced to a ball of struggle while the space tries to squeeze him. Curled into a ball, despite being eerily calm, because he knows from now on Annihililus will need to do better than that if he wants to crush his sturdy body, Eidolon found his enemy's limits and a strange balance.
But even so, he decides to draw out some anger from being in this little embarrassing situation, and decides to use the Force against those forces crushing him.
With a roar, he released an Omnidirectional Force Blast that pushed back Annihilus's trap, freeing himself.
"This will never stop being cool." He allows himself to enjoy the moment a little before attacking again.
Despite pushing back the forces of the Negative Zone, Eidolon is still surrounded, only that is a larger area now.
As he advances to Annihilus, aware that his path is blocked by a thick layer of anti-matter and negative energy, Eidolon does a rare action and calls his stand.
Mr. Blue Sky separates from Hector seamlessly, his body covered in black and white, floating behind him, his blue eyes staring ahead calmly. Eidolon finally reaches the hostile areas that separate him from Annihilus.
"Really big explosions." She-Hulk adds with surprise in her voice
"Ah, I'm fine. Light work. Just the final of my battle with Annihilus. It's all good now." He hides the details "Gave him some good punches for you, Ben." He says to change the subject, he succeeds because the Thing laughs loudly and thanks him again.
"Eidolon, I need to tell you something…" Susan speaks hesitantly
"Wait, before that, look what I found." The hero raises his hand from below his mantle, between his fingers the necklace he gave her before and she lost. "I found floating in space.
"Oh my god! This is exactly what I was about to tell you! I lost your gift!" Susan exclaims full of surprise "I'm sorry, Eidolon." She adds regretfully
"No worries, I can understand… And I wouldn't mind you losing it while doing hero work."
Even so, I feel horrible… I shouldn't have taken with me to the Negative Zone." Susan is still feeling bad
"Relax, you are worried about Reed and the others. Here, again, Happy Birthday." He offers the gift one more time
She smiles sweetly "Okay… And again. Thank you." She accepts
Ben, Alicia, and Jen look at each other with knowing grins.
Eidolon noticed, obviously, that he can understand how it looks from an outside perspective, he is not that dense. Susan Storm was indeed a fictional crush, but he will take his famous "wait and see" approach… He still believes that she is not one to accept his special love life circumstances… But who knows?
Maybe he will be the father of Meta Baby Jesus here in this world.
"We don't we go hang out? Without portal shenanigans?" Jennifer offers with a smile, putting her arm around Eidolon's shoulder. She is probably trying to help her friend.
"Sorry, but I have things to do…" Eidolon polluted declines the offer "And believe in me, I wish I could stay away from portal shenanigans"
......…..
Days later
"Seriously, am I cursed or something?!" Hector exclaims with his hands on his hips while staring at the familiar, but different, New York.
He ended up in another universe…
Now he is on the top of a building, donning his Spider-Man suit while staring at some billboards showing the death of Peter Parker.
He sighs heavily "I know exactly where I am… Isn't it too soon? Shouldn't have been Peter here?" He facepalm.
Suddenly, an orange wormhole appears at his side and without him having time to dodge, someone hits him at full force.
He and this unknown person roll on the rooftop for some time, confusion of limbs all over the place in an unstoppable ball. He can only notice that it is a woman and she is wearing black and white, in a suit a little similar to his… He can guess who it is pretty accurately.
When they finally stop, they are in a very compromising state… He lies on the ground, with her above him in a sixty-nine position. Her face touches his crotch while her legs straddle his head.
'Welcome back, Yuki Rito's Luck… It has been a long time since your last appearance.' Hector deadpans in his mind
The woman quickly notices the strange state they are in and instantly moves her head away from his crotch, but this made her butt move closer instead…
"..." Being smothered by buttcheeks, Eidolon thinks that there are worse ways to start the Arc than having Spider-Gwen sitting on his face.
........
Extra
In some places in the Negative Zone, a big insectoid denizen struggles while on a bed. She looks fat and bloated, with many smaller insectoids around them and helping her.
She is Annihilus' wife.
Eventually, after a lot of effort from her, she finally gives birth, laying down an egg in the hands of a maid.
The female insectoid respectfully holds the transparent green egg in her hands and raises high in the air, inside is possible to see a very distinctive insect-shaped head.
"LORD ANNIHILUS LIVES!!" She screeches
