Chapter 191: Invasion n
[You can read 60 chapters in advance and GOT fic on /misterimmortal.]
As soon as the first rays of the morning sun touched the surface somewhere. The world forgot about seeing Santast night. However, Peter was an exception because it was his wish to see Santa, and he was allowed on Hector''s behalf.
So when he woke up the next day after passing out in fear when Santa burst into his room, he found a nice small rectangr gift-wrapped box beside his bed. He quickly opened it and looked. It was just a simple cardboard box. He opened it and found another box. It was made of metal with leather covering all around it and felt much more premium.
"WOAH!" He finally opened it and nearly passed out in excitement. It was a lightsaber, and not just any lightsaber but the one belonging to his favorite character, Obi-Wan Kenobi. And the first actor to y that role was none other than Hector.
The lightsaber was the third one, simr to what Hector wielded in Episode 4 until the character''s death. The movie prop was currently in a museum, not far from the whip Hector used to drag Hitler in Berlin. Basically, everything Hector had touched in his life was gold at this point.
Returning to Peter, he was happy with this new toy he got. "How do I turn the light on?"
Being a nerd about Star Wars, he knew about nearly every single toy lightsaber on the market. So he knew it would either have a light or some sort of tube on it that lights up.
He saw a slider on the hilt and turned it up quickly. *WOOSH* All of a sudden, a bright blueser came out of it, about three feet long. Peter''s mind went nk for the first two seconds, and his eyes shut close from so much light.
*ZZZZZ...*
But when he heard that buzzing sound and looked, his room was already on fire. Not just anything but his beloved oldputer CRT monitor was sliced in half, and now the table was the victim.
"OH MY GOD! IT''S REAL!"
"OH NO! IT''S TOO REAL!"
He panicked and tried to turn it off. But he moved a lot in doing so, and anything that came in the way of the shining de either got burned or sliced in half.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Peter, is everything okay? What''s all that sound?"
"It''s nothing, Aunt May. Some stuff fell. I''ll be out in a minute," he shouted in response and breathed longer to calm down. He quickly pulled back the lightsaber, kept it in the air, and slowly turned down the slider.
He looked at his room in fear, but then he remembered, "Oh, didn''t Mister President gift me a new PC? I''ve been so lucky these days. I hope the bad luck of a lifetime doesn''te with it."
Next, he quickly stuffed all the burnt stuff under the bed and walked out to eat breakfast with his aunt. He''d deal with the rest of the damage after returning from school.
~Ned will go mad if he sees this.~ he thought.
...
The year 2012 was around the corner, and Hector wondered if the invasion was even going to happen since Thanos met him once and he knew Hector belonged to Earth.
At this point, Hector was famous around the Universe as the ruler of two gxies, the strongestmander and being. His army constituted billions of warships and hundreds of billions of soldiers.
This meant that any attack on Earth, while he was on the, would be an attack on the President of the United Gctic Federation, prompting the whole war machine toe to the defense.
Another thing that got Hector worried was that Loki did note to Earth, and Thor had gotten a bit toofortable on Earth. He was now a shut-in boyfriend of Jane Foster. Things were going opposite of what he had nned.
*Knock Knock*
"Boss, we hit a hundred million ounts on Instagram," Adam entered his office to inform him.
Hector sighed and looked at the report. He was not too shocked as he knew it would be popr. He had introduced features that were too good for this era. His Whatsapp was the highest-used online messenger app. People now use it instead of standard message texting over thework.
Meanwhile, Tiktok had gained extreme attention in the East, mainly in Asian countries. There were, however, no revenue models for now. All they wished was to be as famous as possible.
So TikTok was given funds of 10 million to burn out and award creators who constantly get high views. Hector had also opened his own pages on them, which were verified ounts with his full name. They only had photos and videos of Moony for now.
"Great, add that short-form video concept on Instagram as well after we hit 1 billion users on TikTok. Make Instagram feel like a more expensive and branded TikTok where getting famous is extremely hard. Meanwhile, add the Stories feature from Instagram to Whatsapp as well. By the way, how is Snapchat doing?" He asked.
"It hit the market a few weeks ago. We''re promoting it on our other tforms for now. We were able to pull in many celebrities to make an ount on it. Facebook is getting old for many people already." Adam replied.
Hector sighed. He wanted to control most of the future content media tforms to one day influence the world in the direction of tolerance. He didn''t want people to be easily offended snowkes. They should be able to tolerate opposing views and be chill with jokes.
"How are the talks going with Google? Are they interested in selling Youtube?" He inquired.
Adam fixed his sses that he only wore for show, "They bought it for 1.6 billion dors in 2006. They have invested a lot in it and wish to triple their return. So they want at least 5 billion."
Hector rubbed his chin, "Tell them I am ready to triple it. 4.8 Billion cash. I will pay for it in one go."
Due to Hector''s Space Business Empire, KingTech Industries had be the world''srgest rare earth mineralspany globally, and the business was only increasing with time. Thepany makes 30 billion dors each week, as they were thergest client of a majority of car and energy manufacturers in the world. Not to mention, Hector may be selling oil cheaply, but it was not an unprofitable price.
Hence, 5 billion was not much for him. Not at all if he could own apany that would be synonymous with video media one day. On top of that, he had also developed Twitch, and soon, he willbine both of thesepanies. He will literally have the world media by the balls.
However, sadly, the news media was grabbed by the balls by other corporate interests, and they didn''t align with his peace, unity, and prosperity agenda. So, they had to go.
"Great. Go call Yondu and Logan in. I have something to discuss with you guys." he ordered.
The three generals sat before him in no time, awaiting hismand. Hector seriously said his following words, "I''m afraid we''re going to have to invade this."
"WHAT?!"
"Yes. Things seem to be going different from what I nned. I don''t think Thanos will invade anymore. We are too strong to make him think a dozen times before taking such a risk. But, I need an invasion to happen in order to unite the. I need the people to open their eyes to the fact that we''re not alone and we''re weak as an ant.
So I want you to assemble a droid army. Then invade in a month. Do limited destruction, destroy a few dozen buildings in New York City. Spread chaos and fear. A few other heroes, and I will be there to stop you," he nned.
Logan grunted, "That''s so much work,"
Adam fixed his sses again, "It''s understandable. This is far too divided that even the Kree seem like saints. It''s not just the skin color but nationality, gender, religion, caste, and wealth. Then there are also political ideologies. It''s a total mess, and to clear it, we need a bigger mess on which people can focus,"
"Exactly. So I need you three to head to Moran and gather the army. Report everything to me on a daily basis. Remember, this has to be a secret that dies with us,"
The three got up, saluted, and left calmly. They had seen far too many messed-up things to feel shocked about anything anymore. A fake alien invasion was nothing.
Alone now, Hector nned for the future. However.
"BOW, WOW!"
"Dad, it''s ytime!" Moony entered, wagging his tail and holding a big stick in his jaw.
"Where is your mum?" He inquired.
~Oh, she went on a date.~ Moony answered.
*BAM*
The pen fell from Hector''s hand, "W-What? Where? With whom?"
~With Natasha and Yelena. She said it''s a family bonding date,~ Moony replied.
*Sigh*
Hector took a long, calming breath, "Damn, son. Be careful with your words. You nearly made your dad single again. Anyway, let''s go. I''ll throw the stick."
~YAY!~
