The transition from Earth's atmosphere to the infinite void of space hit Aidan's consciousness. Through the Jaeger's enhanced sensors, the universe revealed itself in all its terrible beauty endless expanses of star-drunk darkness punctuated by distant galaxies that painted the cosmic canvas in swirls of impossible color. The silence was absolute and profound, a quietude so complete it seemed to press against his eardrums despite the neural link's artificial mediation.
The portal behind him pulsed with Earth's familiar light, a doorway home that seemed impossibly small against the backdrop of infinity. But his attention was immediately drawn to the alien craft scattered before him like deadly metallic insects, their bio-luminescent hulls .
Time to clear the neighborhood.
The Wanderer mecha's massive fists moved with hydraulic precision as Aidan engaged the weapon systems. Twin plasma cutting blades erupted from the backs of the giant's hands with a sound like tearing reality a thrumming, vibrating buzz that traveled through the machine's superstructure and into his bones. The weapons blazed with contained stellar fire, each edge capable of slicing through molecular bonds with precision.
Two Leviathans emerged from the cosmic debris field, their bio-mechanical forms undulating through the vacuum with predatory grace. These were larger than their Earth-based cousins, their carapaces scarred by countless battles among the stars. Weapon ports along their flanks began charging with lethal blue energy, painting the surrounding space with an eerie bioluminescent glow.
But they were too slow.
The Wanderer spun in a perfect three-hundred-sixty-degree rotation, its massive frame moving with balletic grace despite weighing several thousand tons. The plasma blades carved twin arcs of destruction through the void, their superheated edges parting alien bio-metal like tissue paper. The Leviathans separated cleanly down their center lines, their internal atmosphere venting in crystalline clouds of frozen alien breath.
Chitauri soldiers spilled from the dying vessels like seeds from a split pod, their personal flight systems flaring as they attempted to reach the safety of the massive mothership that dominated the starfield beyond.
And what a ship it was.
The craft defied easy description—part biological nightmare, part technological marvel. Its hull resembled a colossal spider crafted from living darkness, with appendages that stretched for kilometers in every direction. Weapon emplacements dotted its surface like cancerous growths, each one pulsing with barely contained destructive potential. The ship's very presence seemed to corrupt the space around it, bending light and shadow in ways that made Aidan's enhanced vision struggle to maintain focus.
That's definitely the flagship.
The alien vessel's response was immediate and overwhelming. Warning klaxons that echoed through its corridors as thousands of crew members scrambled to weapon stations. Within seconds, the ship bristled with hostile energy as every gun emplacement swiveled toward the approaching mecha.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
The barrage that followed was nothing short of apocalyptic. Streams of coherent energy lanced across the void , each bolt carrying enough power to vaporize a city block. The weapons fired in perfect coordination, creating a web of destruction that would have overwhelmed any conventional military force.
The impacts against the Wanderer's armor plating sent shockwaves through the machine's frame that Aidan felt in his teeth. Warning alerts flashed across his neural interface as the Jaeger's self-repair systems worked overtime to compensate for the damage. The AllSpark's energy reserves began depleting at an alarming rate as the mecha's Transformer-derived healing abilities struggled to keep pace with the incoming destruction.
Aidan's hands moved in the familiar patterns of sorcery, red sparks cascading around his fingers as he reached across dimensional barriers. The spell's completion manifested as a massive magical portal easily large enough to accommodate the Jaeger's bulk that materialized directly in front of the incoming weapons fire.
The effect was immediate and devastating. Every energy bolt, every plasma burst, every destructive beam disappeared into the portal's red-rimmed maw only to emerge from its twin that had appeared directly behind the Chitauri flagship. The ship's own weapons fire rained down upon its hull with merciless precision, secondary explosions blooming like deadly flowers across its surface as ammunition storage and power conduits succumbed to their own reflected fury.
"Stop! Stop!" The alien captain's voice carried across space through electromagnetic frequencies . The weapons fire ceased abruptly, leaving only the cold radiation of distant stars to illuminate the scene.
But Aidan was far from finished.
Space around the portal shimmered as the Wanderer mecha underwent its own transformation. Metal plates shifted and reconfigured with sounds like a clockwork mechanism, hydraulics hissing as the humanoid form compressed and reshaped itself. Within moments, where the giant robot had stood, now hung a sleek warship of impossible design its hull gleaming with the same blue-grey finish, its weapon systems already charging for the next phase of attack.
The ship's primary cannon was a thing of beauty and terror a massive barrel that crackled with plasma energy drawn directly from the AllSpark's infinite reserves. When it fired, the beam that lanced across the void carried the concentrated fury of a dying star.
BOOM!
The impact vaporized an entire section of the Chitauri flagship's superstructure, sending the spider-like appendages tumbling into the cosmic dark. Aidan didn't pause his next shots targeted the vessel's engine clusters with precision, crippling its ability to escape while leaving the majority of the ship intact.
Might need that for later. Always good to have a spare mothership lying around.
The alien crew's response was predictably desperate. Like angry hornets from a disturbed nest, hundreds of small craft launched from the damaged ship's bays. The Chitauri pilots flew with the reckless courage of beings who knew their ship was crippled and their options limited.
Their captain's reasoning was sound but flawed surely such a massive war machine would require hundreds of operators, making it vulnerable to a boarding action. If they could get inside, they might be able to disable it from within.
Aidan smiled within the control chamber and initiated another transformation. The sleek warship collapsed back into its humanoid configuration with mechanical thunder that echoed through the void. As the last Chitauri fighter craft cleared their mothership's launch bays, the Wanderer's engines ignited with stellar fury.
The charge was magnificent and terrible a mountain of living metal accelerating through space with impossible grace. The Chitauri fighters opened fire with everything they had, their energy weapons painting abstract patterns across the Jaeger's armored hide. But their combined firepower was like raindrops against a battleship individually meaningless, collectively inadequate.
The mecha carved through their formations like a scythe through wheat, each movement destroying dozens of craft in silent explosions that briefly painted the void in shades of alien fire.
Within minutes, the Wanderer hung motionless beside the crippled flagship.
Aidan's gestures within the control room took on a new complexity as he reached deeper into the mystical arts. The spell that followed was one of the most challenging in his repertoire—the Images of Ikonn, a technique that could split consciousness itself across multiple forms.
Energy flowed from the AllSpark through arcane channels, pooling at the Jaeger's shoulders where new appendages began to form. Metal plates shifted and reconfigured as a second head emerged from the mecha's back, followed by a pair of arms that moved with perfect synchronization to the originals. The new growth was more than mechanical it carried with it a fragment of Aidan's own consciousness, a perfect duplicate with all his memories, skills, and determination.
The clone materialized within the secondary control chamber already clad in his familiar black and scarlet combat suit, the bio-mechanical armor flowing across his form like living shadow. Without a word between the two versions of himself, the duplicate stepped toward the airlock that had formed in the Jaeger's chest.
Time to take this fight inside.
The interior of the Chitauri flagship was a nightmare of alien architecture and bioluminescent decay. Corridors twisted like the inside of some vast organism, their walls pulsing with veins of sickly light that cast writhing shadows in every direction.
Aidan's clone moved through the alien passages with grace, his scarlet lightsaber humming with energy. The weapon's blade cast its own illumination, painting the organic walls in shades of blood and fire. the wet sound of the ship's bio-mechanical systems, the ozone scent of alien electronics, the way the floor seemed to pulse beneath his feet like a living thing's heartbeat.
The first group of Chitauri warriors appeared at a corridor junction, their angular forms silhouetted against the ship's internal lighting. They moved with the coordinated precision of a hive mind, energy spears crackling with lethal potential as they formed a defensive line.
Aidan's response was swift and brutal. The cylindrical grenade left his hand in a perfect arc, its trajectory calculated by combat prediction algorithms running at the speed of thought. The device detonated not with an explosion, but with a reality-warping pulse that sent ripples through local spacetime.
THRUM.
The gravitational field that erupted from the device's core was localized but devastating. Every Chitauri warrior in the corridor suddenly found themselves subject to crushing forces that pinned them helplessly in place. Their weapons clattered to the deck as muscles strained against the irresistible pull of artificially enhanced gravity.
Aidan moved through their immobilized ranks. His scarlet blade carved impossible patterns through the air, The lightsaber's monomolecular edge parted alien armor and flesh with equal ease, leaving trails of superheated plasma in its wake.
"Hey!... Puchi..." The sounds of combat were brief and decisive the whisper of the blade cutting air, the wet finality of strikes finding their marks, the metallic clatter of falling weapons. Aidan passed through the group like a crimson ghost, his movements too fast for conventional perception to follow.
By the time he sheathed the weapon and continued down the corridor, the gravitational field was already dissipating. Behind him, Chitauri warriors collapsed to the deck in graceless heaps, their forms already beginning to cool in the ship's recycled atmosphere.
Puff! Puff!...
The pattern repeated throughout the vessel—groups of defenders appearing only to fall before the relentless advance of Earth's deadliest sorcerer. Each engagement was brief, efficient, and utterly one-sided. Aidan's route through the ship became marked by the bodies of those who had tried to stand against him.
Finally, after cutting a path through deck after deck of alien architecture, he reached his destination. The control room's entrance was a massive portal that seemed more grown than built, its surface covered in bio-mechanical controls . As he approached, the barrier began to iris open with sounds like tearing cartilage.
Aidan's hand found the grip of his sword, fingers tightening around the familiar weight as he prepared for whatever waited beyond.
BANG!
The energy pulse that erupted from the opening doorway was blindingly bright and carrying enough force to punch through starship armor. But Aidan's enhanced reflexes were already moving, his scarlet blade clearing its sheath in a motion too fast for human eyes to follow.
The lightsaber met the energy bolt at the perfect angle, its monomolecular edge splitting the coherent plasma and redirecting the charge harmlessly into the corridor walls. Sparks cascaded around him like falling stars as the displaced energy earthed itself through the ship's bio-mechanical systems.
