Makena woke up with a gasp, looking around for Shuri. "You won't find her, where you are, my little cub."

Makena closed her eyes and shook her head in denial. "No, no, no, no, you're not real." Makena mumbled to herself as tears uncontrollably streamed down her face. She looked at her body, seeing she was in a gold shimmering dress. Despite how much she hated dresses, this one was incredibly gorgeous.

The woman leaned down in front of Makena and gently raised Makena's head up by her chin. "Look at me, darling." Makena slowly opened her eyes, face to face with her mother.

"Where am I?" Makena asked, looking around. It was similar to the Wakandan ancestry plane. But the sky's were a shiny gold and Makena was in a huge fancy looking palace. But it looked extremely ancient.

"You're in my Ancestral Plane. Where everyone from any Egyptian bloodline goes to when they die," Zenna explained softly.

"Wait, am I dead?"

Zenna shook her head softly, "No, you're not dead. You're just here for guidance that I'm here to give you." Zenna explained, cupping Makena's face gently.

"What do you mean? What guidance? I saved Shuri, everything's fine now," Makena spluttered out, shaking her head in disbelief as she thought this was all just a dream.

Zenna sighed and stood up, taking Makena's hands and guiding her to the balcony. "You started a war, Makena. And now Wakanda is in trouble and without you and the Black Panther, Wakanda will crumble," Zenna explained.

"I didn't-I didn't mean to. She was gonna kill Shuri, I had to. I had no choice." Makena said, tears threatening to fall.

Zenna turned to look at Makena. "You always have a choice, darling. And you made yours. You saved her, but at what cost?" Zenna asked softly.

Makena leaned her arms on the balcony, a tear scrolled down her cheek. "So what do you suggest I do? I can't lose her, I can't afford to lose anyone else."

Zenna took Makena's hands in hers and looked down at her daughter. "I can't tell you what happens in the future so you can prevent loss. But I will tell you this. Your purpose is to fight for what you love. You fight for Wakanda, you fight for your love. And you kill Namor when you get the chance," Zenna stated.

Makena looked at her mother and wiped her tears. "I'll kill Namor. And I'll protect Wakanda with my life."

"Good. Because when you wake up, you're gonna get the chance."

A gasp came from Makena's body as she awoke. Makena pulled the IV out of her body and stood up, looking around the Dora Milaje held spears up to her. "Hey! Hey! Stand down!" Shuri ordered.

They lowered their spears but were still on guard. "Makena, it's me. It's Shuri." Shuri stepped closer but Aneka grabbed her arm.

"It's okay, she won't hurt me," Shuri reassured and Aneka slowly let go.

Shuri stepped closer and Makena backed up, her body hitting the table to prevent her from moving back anymore.

Shuri gently placed her hands on Makena's face. Makena's hands immediately grabbed onto Shuri's wrists and the Dora held up their spears in case Makena tried anything. Shuri took ahold of Makena's hands and placed them on her face. "See? It's me, it's Shuri. You're safe," Shuri spoke.

Makena's eyes slowly went back to normal, the purple no longer taking over her sight. Shuri sighed in relief and wrapped her arms around Makena. It took Makena a second before she hugged Shuri back. She didn't know if she could trust her strength after what her mother informed her.

A tear rolled down Makena's cheek as she held onto Shuri as if she'd lose her. "I lo-" Makena was cut off when the alarms went off.

They both pulled away and she followed Shuri up the stairs. "Griot, activate the sunbird," Shuri ordered.

"Shuri, where are you?" Ramonda's voice came through from the throne room.

"Making my way to the city right now," Shuri replied.

"Stand down! That is an order!" Ramonda spoke.

"Mother I'm with Aneka. We can provide air support," Shuri defended.

"Aneka, do not let her leave the lab!" Ramonda ordered the Dora.

"Mother, you're-you're breaking up! We can't hear you!" Shuri lied. "Love you bye!" Shuri hung up.

"You just hung up on the Queen," Aneka deadpanned.

"I just hung up on my mum. There's a difference. Come on, let's go!" Shuri rushed.

"If you die I will kill you!" Makena said and Shuri paused in her steps and turned to look at her. "That's not possible!"

"I'll make it possible!" Makena argued. Shuri ran over towards her and pressed her lips against Makena's. "Mmm, I love you! Go find M'Baku!" Shuri said before running off with Aneka towards the Sunbird.

"Aneka! Keep her safe until this is done!" Makena ordered. Aneka looked back and her and nodded, "Of course, Makena."

Makena got to the roof and jumped off, before heading to the Queen. Makena made it in front of the window where Ramonda and Riri stood. "Makena! Do you know what to do?" Ramonda asked.

"Yeah. But it's not gonna be pretty, or peaceful," Makena stated, wanting permission from Ramonda before she made an rash decisions.

"Do it!" Ramonda granted.

Makena nodded and flew off towards where she seen the Talokans in the water. Makena raised her hands, making three Talokans rise from the water with purple energy holding them up. Makena twisted her wrists and snapped their necks, letting them fall back into the water, dead.

Makena was suddenly tackled mid air by a furious Atumma. They rolled onto the sand and Atumma held a knife to her neck and held her onto her knees as Namor emerged from the water. Makena didn't bother fighting, wanting to see what Namor wanted.

They kneeled down to him and Namora stood up. "We lured the defenses away from the palace. The rest is up to you." Namora spoke in Mayan.

Before Namor could speak M'Baku jumped from the canoe and smashed his wooden weapon against Namor. He held up his bicep, the weapon crushing as it hit him. Namor turned around and smashed his fist into M'Baku's chest. The force making M'Baku be sent back into a bar island, stunned.

Namor turned to Makena and before they could move Ayo's aircraft flew over them, shooting at them but missed.

The three Talokan women swam back into the water to avoid gun fire and Namor turned back to Makena. "Don't worry, Meritites. You'll finally get to live in peace with your beloved family. And watch from above as I kill your precious princess." Namor smirked, calling Makena by her Egyptian name. It meant "loved by her father".

Makena's eyes glowed purple and she forced her arm out of Atumma's grip and turned around, throwing him into a building. Makena turned around, eyes glowing as she looked at Namor. "Actually, you're gonna watch from below as your nation goes extinct by my hands," Makena stated.

Namor smirked, "I don't think so."

Makena was thrown forward into the water by Atumma and the Talokans pulled her down, preventing her from reaching the surface for air. Makena held her breath and fought Namora, both of them sending strikes but Makena couldn't use her powers properly under water. Makena grabbed her pocket knife and turned it into a gun, hitting Namora with a blast that didn't kill her but forced her back.

Makena rose up from the water and let out a gasp for air. She flew up just in time, seeing Namor on the Sunbird Shuri and Aneka were in. Makena flew, tackling Namor off the Sunbird but it still crashed down into the water.

"You better save your precious princess!" Namor said, both of them face to face.

"I'll deal with you later," Makema mumbled before dropping down and landing in the water.

Makena pulled off the glass and pulled Shuri out. She swam towards where Aneka was and slammed her fist into the glass, sticking her hands into where it broke and Shuri pulled Aneka out as Makena held up the glass.

Makena, Shuri and Aneka were pulled up into the ship Okoye and Nakia were on. Makena pulled the glass shards out of her hands and looked out the window. They immediately seen Namor throw water bombs at the palace into the throne room where the Queen and Riri were. "Get to the Queen now!" Makena ordered.

Okoye nodded, immediately flying them towards the palace. Makena was the first one off, running into the palace with Okoye and Nakia right behind her. Makena opened the door and ran in, Namor was there, watching, waiting for them.

"Help the girl!" Okoye ordered Nakia. Makena ran to Ramonda, and pulled her out of the water, laying her on her back.

"She did this!" Namor spoke. Makena and Okoye focused on the Queen. Okoye pulled off her Kimoyo Beads and placed them on Ramonda's chest as Nakia did the same with Riri.

"In one weeks time I will return with my entire army! And you will join us against the surface world! Or I will wash Wakanda from the face of the Earth!" Namor announced.

Shuri rushed in with Aneka, "Mother!"

"Keep her back!" Makena ordered Aneka. Okoye focused on trying to shock the Queen back awake. Nakia did the same with Riri.

"Mother! Mama!" Shuri shouted, being held back by Aneka.

"Bury you dead. Mourn your losses. You are Queen now," Namor pointed at Shuri. M'Baku having ran in to hold Shuri back. (namor was doin too much with this line 😒)

"Mother! No! No! Mother! Mama!" Shuri cried.

Some more of the Dora Milaje ran in as Nakia got Riri to start coughing out the water.

"Mama! Mother!"

Makena stood up, remembering what Zenna told her. "Good. Because when you wake up, you're gonna get the chance."

"Mama!"

Nakia ran over to Ramonda and checked her Kimoyo Beads. "Wake up, mom!" Okoye cried.

"She's gone." Nakia said.

"Mama!" Shuri cried, no longer fighting against their hold.

Makena held in her tears, her jaw clenched with anger as she looked out the window, no longer seeing Namor but she could feel his presence still in Wakanda. She didn't want to leave Shuri but she felt she had no choice.

Makena ran and jumped out of the window without warning. "Makena, no!" Okoye shouted, but it was too late.

Makena jumped into the water and grabbed onto Namor who was swimming away. She threw him up out of the water and flew up.

"Easy, Meritites. You don't know what you're starting!" Namor spoke, watching Makena's eyes glow and her hands radiate purple energy. (like wanda)

"You're right. I don't know what I'm starting. But I know what I'm ending," Makena spoke, her teeth clenched and she shot a blast of energy at him, sending him crashing down into where the ship they had been in, landed. She landed onto the concrete, her teeth clenched with anger. Her purple eyes glared at him with deadly intentions.

Makena made sure nobody was in it before she shot more energy at him that he blocked with his powerful spear. Makena got closer and he used his spear to cut her leg but she was unaffected. Namor's eyes widened in shock as it was vibranium so it should've weakened her.

Unfortunately, for him, it only fueled her anger and her vengeance. "This doesn't end in Wakanda's downfall! It ends in yours!" Makena exclaimed.

Namor and her fought with their spears, hers being more powerful but her mind was to distracted with anger that she wasn't focusing or being smart in battle. Namor cut her cheek with his spear, still she remained unaffected. Namor ran forward, impaling her with his spear. Makena looked at him and shot out her hand, throwing him back against the building.

Makena pulled the spear out of her and tossed it to the side. She used her energy and pulled him towards her, his body in the air. "You will pay for her life with yours," Makena said, using her powers to remove each bit of armor Namor had. (not his shorts obvs)

Makena grabbed her spear and used her powers, throwing it straight for his heart but it stopped, barely even grazing Namor.

A spear suddenly struck directly into Makena's throat from behind and pulled out. Blood spilled from her throat amd mouth and her hand went for her throat. Makena raised her fingers, blood on them and dropped to her knees, losing her abilities to even breathe or speak.

Namor dropped to the floor, catching himself. He walked towards her and Namora walked to his side, revealing her to be the person who impaled Makena's throat.

"You're weakness was never vibranium, Meritites. It was love." Namor spoke, speaking in past tense, assuming this would kill Makena.

Makena fell unconscious, presumably dead, and they jumped back into the water.

"Makena!"
