The six of them walked in the dry desert in Australia.

They saw that a Deviant was slain.

"This is the Deviant you fought in London."

Kingo asked, staring at the huge beast.

"It's different. There must be more out there than we thought."

Ikaris looked around.

"Oh. Is...is this a Deviant, sir?"

Karun asked Kingo.

"Yep."

Kingo stared at it.

"It's a beautiful creature."

Karun chuckled.

"What? This? This? No! It's hideous! You've never had one try to bite your head off. Roll."

"You're about to meet two of the greatest warriors the world has ever known. Thena. Legendary, deadly, fashionable. And her trusty friend, a mighty powerhouse of strength...the fearsome Gilgamesh!"

Kingo shouted.

"Gilgamesh!"

The doors swung open.

"What took you so long?"

He walked out wearing an apron.

"You look younger today, Sprite."

He walked out of the residence.

"I have the same apron."

Karun smiled.

"Who the hell are you?"

Gilgamesh turned around.

"I am Karun. Kingo's valet."

"Oh, valet. Like Alfred in Batman."

"Gilgamesh, the Deviants are back."

Ikaris notified.

"No shit. I could've used some help."

"We we're attacked by a Deviant in London, too."

Y/N took of her sunglasses.

"Even Ikaris couldn't kill it."

Sersi's hair flew in the wind.

"You couldn't?"

"I was distracted."

He made up an excuse.

"Sure, man."

Gilgamesh laughed.

"Hey, you guys wanna try my pie?"

"I'm sorry, Gil. Ajak's dead."

"It's true, buddy."

Sprite looked over the top of her sunglasses.

"We lost her."

Gilgamesh dropped his pie.

We all looked at eachother in silence.

Sersi looked off into the distance.

"Sersi..the attack triggered her. She's no fun to be around right now."

Gilgamesh warned.

"Hey, Thena."

Gilgamesh called out to the woman.

"Look who's here."

He pointed to us.

Thena got up and brought out her weapon.

"Thena."

"Everyone in Centuri-6 is going to die."

She said.

"Give me your hand."

Gilgamesh sighed.

"It's too late. We can't save them."

She panted.

"Thena."

Sprite used her power.

"Thena, we came to Earth together on our ship."

"You're an Eternal. The greatest warrior of Olympia. The legendary protector of Athens. The goddess of war. Remember who you are."

"Remember."

Gilgamesh touched Thena's hand.

The illusion around us faded.

"Thena."

Ikaris nodded.

"Hi."

Kingo waved.

"Hey, Thena."

Y/N smiled.

"Hello."

She glared at us.

"Hey, who's your gardener?"

Kingo asked.

——————

"This is what you guys eat everyday?"

"Yeah, this is amazing."

"Every day."

"Thank you for this."

"Oh, you're welcome."

"Help yourself."

"This one is a trio of wine, beer, and mead. Made for all the soldiers in the battle of Troy."

"That's so thoughtful."

Karun smiled.

Kingo looked at Thena.

"Should she be drinking?"

"No, hers is non-alcoholic. For kids."

Gilgamesh whispered.

"I gave you the same thing, Sprite."

Gilgamesh and Kingo bursted into laughter.

"I was just kidding. Yours is a secret brew Odin taught me as a thank-you."

Sprite used her power, dressing Gilgamesh in a baby outfit.

Everyone else started giggling and holding in laughter.

"What? Oh."

Gilgamesh frowned.

"I'm a big baby."

"Very mature. Can you stop?"

She reversed the illusion.

"Speaking of Odin, Thor used to follow me around when he was a little kid. Now he's a famous Avenger and won't return my calls."

"So, now that Captain Rogers and Iron Man are both gone, who do you think is gonna lead the Avengers?"

Sprite cut her food.

"I could lead them."

Ikaris offered.

"I figure I'd be good at that."

"Yeah, you would."

"Ajak didn't even choose you to lead us."

Gilgamesh teased.

"Woah!"

Y/N laughed.

"Ouch, Gil. Ouch."

Ikaris frowned.

"Harsh."

"I'm gonna let that one slide, because you know, you've always been bitter that I can fly and you can't."

"Oh, so what, you can fly. I'm better-looking and everybody knows that."

"Where are you going?"

Everyone noticed Sersi got up.

"I'm just gonna get some air."

"Mm, this is really good, Gil. You know, I could sell this. Put my face on it, move some units."

Kingo sipped the drink.

"I made it from corn."

"I chew each kernel myself and ferment it in my spit."

Kingo quickly spit it out.

"Ya kinda had that one coming, Kingo."

Y/N covered her mouth, trying not to laugh.

"So, who are we going out to get next?"

Gilgamesh asked.

"Sersi said Druig."

Ikaris looked at Y/N.

"What?"

She just noticed what they were talking about.

"Oh, Druig? Yeah, good times! So, who wants to tell everyone what they did over all these years? How about we start with Kingo?"

She avoided the conversation.

Kingo started going on and on about his movies and things.

Gilgamesh left after boredom.

—————————-

"So, you're saying we're basically fancy robots? And our past memories are stored somewhere in space?"

Kingo summed it up.

"And Arishem made the Deviants."

Sersi added.

"I'm sorry, Thena."

Gilgamesh apologized.

"You tried to warn us."

"The last time Arishem reset your memories, something must have gone wrong."

Sprite said.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, that's what Mahd Wy'ry is, isn't it?"

"All this time, Thena was remembering all the other planets we've been sent to and everyone dying during the emergence."

"I thought we were heroes. Turns out we're the bad guys."

Gilgamesh locked his fingers together.

"We're not the bad guys, okay?"

Kingo reassured.

"We've helped the Celestials expand life across the universe. That's not what bad guys do. That's what good guys do."

"Every time innocent lives have been sacrificed for the greater good, it turns out to be a mistake."

Sersi leaned on the wall.

"We have to stop the emergence."

"Sersi, we have no right to stop the birth of a Celestial."

"There has to be a way Tiamut can emerge without destroying the Earth."

"We just have to delay it until we figure out how."

"Could Druig control it's mind?"

Gilgamesh asked.

Y/N jumped.

"Maybe put it to sleep?"

"Put it to sleep? Are you serious?"

"Gilgamesh asked Druig to put me to sleep once."

Thena spoke.

"So I could take a vacation to Fiji, you know?"

"We're talking about a Celestial, okay?"

"We have to try."

"Come on, we're not gonna let everyone on Earth die, right?"

"Right."

Karun chuckled.

"I'm human. I'm a little biased."

Kingo started speaking Hindi to Karun.

"And do what? Watch TV? When I could be with the Earth's original superheroes as they try to save the world?"

Karun gestured with his hands.

"Fine. If you want to, stay."

"Thank you very much, sir."

"Gilgamesh, could you please get rid of the saliva beer?"

"I thought you liked it, man."

"We need to go. Now."

Ikaris demanded.

"Find the others."

"Once we're all together, we'll decide what to do about the emergence."

He insisted.

"Uhhh, are you sure? Can't I just stay here?"

Y/N leaned in her chair.

"Y/N, I know you don't wanna see Druig bu-"

"Druig? Nah, we're cool! I just...uh..."

She stammered.

"Okay then. To the Amazon."

Kingo got up.

"WAIT-"
