[Chitauri Mothership : 17/02/2001]

The Chitauri leader knelt before the giant figure of Black Dwarf being emitted by the monolith, he had no illusions that he could speak freely with one of the most bloodthirsty beings in the universe.

"Zamīndār, māmūrīyat-i mā tā ba barnāmah pīsh miravad. ud. Ū yak-i nīrūmand ast, ammā zanjīrīhā-yi filzī-yi mā va fanāvarī-yi kontrolī kih tūsāhī dādah-īm ū rā bī-fursat dar giraftārī nigāh mī-dārad. 'Alāvah bar īn, mā fa' ālīyat-i zamīn rā nazārat mī-konīm, nuqṭahā-yi z̤a'fash rā shināsā'ī kardah-īm va barā-yi shurū'-i hamlāt-i istirāṯījī āmadah-īm." (Sir, our mission is progressing as planned. Superman is under our control and will be a valuable addition to our arsenal when we conquer this world. He is a powerful being, but our metal chains and the red solar radiation technology we developed they keep him trapped with no chance of escape. Furthermore, we are achieving good results in conquering the Earth.)

"Skorosz'thak! Vosk tha'gorth zyrak ven'morgul, Kryptonian phesk-dinsho xya'khel. Góral-skor sarka vosh'yar, vraxnok yinostan'ksh! Adstrakh krin'zok kriv'orban, glokha'gk zhovyn'turkyan!

The Chitauri leader swallowed hard, understanding the gravity of the situation and the absolute rigor required. The Kryptonian's survival and successful conquest of Earth were imperative, and any lapse would be unacceptable, knowing the Black Dwarf's wrath was merciless.

"Vorsh skorik, yl'sharn-vorash. Black Dwarf zhurak'khel, yl'zorgarash." (Yes, understood, Lord Black Dwarf's orders will be obeyed, no questions will be asked.)

The tension was palpable as the Chitauri leader continued to speak, remaining subservient to the towering figure of the Black Dwarf, whose power was undeniable and bloodthirsty fame beyond dispute. As the words flowed out, the Chitauri mother ship was rocked by a sudden onslaught, causing it to shudder violently.

The Chitauri aboard the ship felt the impact, and the lights momentarily flickered, threatening the stability of communication. The atmosphere in the room was charged with tension, and the Chitauri leader knew that the situation was now even more critical.

"Zargh'ak! Anar'kysh ruk'gornok, gash'narkh yl'zhogar! Kharnozh brak'tur zyrak, Xar'nath khorok'nir!" (Attention! Defend the ship, identify the enemy! Reinforce the defenses, prepare for combat!)

The Chitauri leader rose quickly, focused on commanding the response to the attack that threatened the mothership and, consequently, the crucial mission. As chaos unfolded, he held command, aware that the Black Dwarf wouldn't tolerate more failure.

"Vorsh sh'karnoth tharn'kryth!?" (What the hell hit us!?) The Chitauri Leader muttered as he walked out of the room.

Going to the control room he looked at the holographic screens, and there he saw something shocking, a huge space station built around an asteroid with a loaded cannon firing again at them!!

"Vorsh sh'zor'karnoth Krala azgan'kth zorash!!?" (What in the seven hells of Krala is that!?)

[A few minutes before on Asteroid M]

"Okay, that's really cool!" Pietro said as he ran across the base, once belonged to his father, now looked modified.

"Stunning indeed but we need to focus." T'Challa said as he prepared some commands for the base.

He, Pietro and Namor were together on this mission, it was part of the plan that T'Challa organized to stop the Chitauri invasion.

While the three of them went after Superman, Storm and Nova stayed on Earth to neutralize the Chitauri ships that were causing much destruction around the world.

"Stay ready, the ship is already prepared and the cannon will open an opportunity for us to invade and then we can sever the connection of the mothership with the assault ships on Earth, and then save Superman from his prison."

"We are ready to dive into the depths of the enemy and face any resistance we encounter." Namor declared. He was determined to accomplish the goal.

Pietro was just as eager to move forward.

"Let's kick some alien ass." He said punching his fist into the palm of his hand.

"As soon as the cannon opens up that opportunity, we'll move forward. We need to be quick and accurate. Time is of the essence." T'Challa informed.

"Attention, preparing to fire 3, 2, 1 fire!!" T'Challa said as the base's massive cannon fired, piercing the shields of the massive Chitauri mother ship and destroying part of the ship's hull.

"Quick let's go to the ship!!" T'Challa yelled and everyone went to the Javelin-7.

As the Javelin-7 ship advanced towards the Chitauri mothership, they felt turbulence pass through the hole in the shield of the Chitauri mothership that was reforming.

"Prepare for impact!!" T'Challa yelled as they broke through the ship's hull.

*Boom*

A small explosion but all three survived, Namor being naturally resilient, T'Challa with his suit and Pietro vibrating through the debris, and now the three were on the Chitauri ship.

"Wow, it's cold in here!!" Pietro said as he smacked his chin, so cold he was.

"In fact, it's almost as cold as the bottom of the sea." Namor said without bothering.

"Chitauri appear to be ectothermic, and apparently evolved in cold environments." T'Challa made his guess as he guided his companions through the Chitauri mother ship.

"Stay alert, friends. We need to find Superman and neutralize any resistance we encounter. Remember, we're here to save our friend and stop the Chitauri plan." T'Challa reminded them as they both ran through the ship's corridors.

"We will move forward without hesitation. We cannot allow these Chitauri to continue wreaking havoc on Earth." Namor said.

"It's not the most welcoming climate but we can adapt." Pietro said as he tried not to think about the cold.

"Come on, if Kelex is right then our friend is on that way." T'Challa said as he looked at a holographic map on his fist.

As they advanced, the corridors of the Chitauri mothership stretched ahead, filled with technology and signs of activity. It was clear that the enemy was prepared to face invaders, and the tension was building with every step.

"We are entering deeper into the ship. We will likely encounter more resistance as we approach the target." T'Challa warned, anticipating what was to come.

As the trio made their way forward, they came to a large room filled with Chitauri technology. In the center was a squadron of Chitauri, armed and ready to defend their mothership. The tension in the room was palpable, and the confrontation was inevitable.

"Ready for some fun?" Pietro asked, his smile showing that even facing an enemy squad, he was up for the challenge.
