  " As soon as there is life there is danger. "

- Ralph Waldo Emerson



(SIX MONTHS LATER: KOLYMA LOWLAND, SIBERIA RUSSIA)

The heavy cold wind and snow had touched the Russian Arctic tundra. It's been several days to months which the Kree-Lizard hybrid had left Nome, Alaska to Provideniya. He spent crossing the mountains and walking in the grasslands, searching for food and temporary shelter. On his solitary trip, he found abandoned villages and railroads from centuries ago. From there, he returned to his life as wandering nomad just like before. The boy made his own scavenger hunt and looked for something to eat and felt hopeless in finding.

Going elsewhere, he ended up eating grass from the ground and drinking fresh water from the rivers and ponds in order for him to survive, but still it wasn't enough for him to survive. He began to feel exhausted and weakened as he kept travelling and walking elsewhere. The boy ignored his weakening and kept moving on to endure his long journey into a foreign land. Reaching in nearby towns and cities, he saw some street signs written in Cyrillic alphabet. Aware of being illiterate, he couldn't understand what those words were. He started to look for anyone to help him, but no one was there. Hopelessness and despair had frequently visited him for he had been lost in translation.

On his way to Kolyma, the strong cold winds and more snow had visited him. He embraced his arms and felt freezing. As part 682, he realized extreme cold was his weakness. But as part-Kree, he wasn't aware he could endure unending travels in days to months. However the hybrid had never eaten solid food in a long period of time, he became starving and malnourished. He felt constant grumbling from his stomach and his bones were cracking as he heard. At the same time, he began hallucinating and seeing things coming out from his mind. There were times, he saw images of his friends which he had been for years. Just this morning, he saw some familiar people from a distance and instantly ran, coming over.

" JARED! I'M HERE! " he loudly yelled. " I'M COMING WITH YOU! "

There was long silence and no sign of his half-Lizard friend. He kept moving his head to and fro and looking for his best friend. The hybrid kept running as he accidentally got tripped by rock buried in the snow and fell down.

" JARED, HELP! " the boy cried. " WHERE ARE YOU?! HEY! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! "

Still, there was no response. It was his imagination which he made him see his best friend. Then, he saw another images of his other friends from the Rebel forces. He smiled and wept for joy as he slowly stood up and walked over to nothingness.

" GLADIUS, CHRISTOPHER, PETER, ZED! I'M HERE! " he exclaimed. " PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU! JARED'S GONE! I NEED YOUR HELP! I'M ALL ALONE HERE! "

Silence was still present as his friends were absent at this point. The Kree-Lizard hybrid boy widened his eyes and rubbed them. No one was there to help him. His body was shaking and trembling which he became more weakened than ever. Still his imagination tricked him as he thought his friends were still with him.

" HELP!! "

His voice echoed the entire place, but still there was no answer from anybody. The boy kept walking even his condition became worse than before. Hearing his stomach loudly grumbling, he was seeing cooked food on the ground and eating it, but he never realized he was ingesting snow and ice fragments. He never minded what he ate as he wanted to live during the extreme wintertime.

That evening, he was still walking and finding a temporary place to stay. He couldn't find anything from this tundra, but endless snow and strong winds. He was experiencing hypothermia as he was freezing and weakening. His arms wrapped around with his body when the strong cold breeze blew over him.

" No one was there to help me..." he sadly thought. " I couldn't find anything from this place. I feel so lost! How could I ever endure this?! "

Just looking from a distance, a huge motionless figure was found. The boy widened his eyes in fear as he was realizing it was his evil predecessor whose memories were mentally torturing him. The hybrid wanted to flee immediately as he could.

" No...no...please stay away from me! " he tremblingly muttered. " Please don't you dare, 682! Just stay away! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! "

The boy's loud frightened voice echoed again. The object from a distance was not SCP-682, but a large boulder covered with snow. Terrified and running away, he accidentally bumped on a tree trunk with snow on its branches. It instantly fell and dumped upon him making him buried under the white blizzard. He couldn't break free and ended up being unconscious.



(TWO WEEKS LATER)

It was morning when the extreme snow storm had lessened. Even the tundra experienced sunny weather, it was still below freezing temperature which the snow flurry remained in the entire place. The boy was still on his slumber and buried at the same time.

Suddenly, there was a loud Russian rock music being played to entice the locals. It was a military song which the people got interested to hear, since the Russians loved their motherland very much, however it was the work of the Russian speaking blue skinned fascists from another galaxy. They took a multitude of slaves by deceiving them to protect Mother Russia from any detractors from Earth and another planets.

A green-haired woman from Remnant wearing thick brown fur coat and a hat walked along with the reptilian and Kree men. She held a red handled katana on her right hand. A Kree commander approached to see her while looking at the people to be enslaved.

   " Solaris Shadowsong, priyatno poznakomit'sya. (Solaris Shadowsong, it's a pleasure to meet you.) " the blue-skinned officer saluted her.

" Polkovnik Borr-Zov, eto Solaris Volkova. YA uzhe zhenat na vashem lazurnom tovarishche, zhivushchem v etoy strane. (Colonel Borr-Zov, it's Solaris Volkova. I am already married to your azure skinned comrade living in this county.) " she replied.

" Akh, ya ponimayu. Togda ya ponyal sut'. Dumayu, vselennaya stanovitsya vse men'she!
(Ah, I see. I'm getting the gist, then. I guess the universe is becoming smaller after all! ) "

" Ochen' smeshno, Borr-Zov, (Very humorous, Borr-Zov, ) " Solaris answered unamusedly and glared at him. " Vy uznali stol'ko anekdotov na moyey planete. (You have learned so much jokes in my planet.) "

The bald Kree commander ceased laughing and saw the Remnite-Russian woman's deathstare. Borr-Zov nervously gulped and waited for her to speak up. Solaris began her thoughts before informing him.

" Vo vsyakom sluchaye, chto vy, kazhetsya, zdes', v Sibiri, a ne v vashey strane ili gde-libo yeshche? (Anyway, what seems you to be here in Siberia, instead of your country or anywhere else?) " he curiously asked.

 " U menya dostatochno sil Carol Danvers, okazyvayushchikh soprotivleniye vsem vam. Oni stanovyatsya boleye agressivnymi, chem kogda-libo. Teper' vash povelitel' poruchil mne proverit' vashu moshennicheskuyu taktiku s russkimi. (I have enough of Carol Danvers's forces making resistance against all of you. They are getting more agressive than ever. Now, your overlord has assigned me to inspect your deceptive tactics with the Russians.) "

" Eto stanovitsya boleye effektivnym, chem pozvolit' im umeret', kak i drugiye. My legko zavoyevali ikh doveriye. (It is getting more effective than letting them die like the others do. We easily gained their trust.) "

Remnite-Russian woman and the Kree commander watched more people getting recruited in the so-called Russian armed forces while the Red Army song was being played. The captain was also speaking and orienting the captives.

" Eto kak promyvaniye mozgov. Zamechatel'nyy! (It is like brainwashing them. Wonderful!) " Solaris evilly grinned.

" Da, v samom dele. G-zha Volkova U nas yest' sposoby ikh vzyat'. (Yes, indeed. Mrs. Volkova. We have our ways to take them.) " Borr-Zov smiled back and asked. " Vo vsyakom sluchaye, u vas byli drugiye dela pomimo etogo? (Anyway, did you have other business aside from that?) "

" Nu, ya zdes', chtoby okhotit'sya na Kri Vechnogo, kotorogo vy schitayete predatelem s vashey storony. YA slyshal slukhi, chto u nego na Zemle propal syn. (Well, I am here to hunt for the Kree Eternal who you deemed as a traitor on your part. I have heard rumors that he has a missing son here on Earth.) "

" Otkuda vy vzyali takuyu ​​informatsiyu? (Where did you get such information?) "

" Ot moyego muzha, konechno. (From my husband, of course.) "

The two intently smiled and thought of doing that operation aside from capturing the new slaves. Solaris Shadowsong-Volkova was determined to find the two persons of interest as she pulled her katana's sharp blade. Colonel Borr-Zov evilly grinned and understood the history of the traitorous one from his planet. Solaris waited for the opportunity from him. 

 " S moyego razresheniya vy mozhete ikh poluchit'. (With my permission, you can get them.) " Borr-Zov replied.

" YA budu. Spasibo. (I will. Thank you.) " she smiled and nodded.

(MOMENTS LATER)


The Kree-Lizard hybrid remained slumberous for longer hours into days which he was still buried under the thick snow. He never realized his cold and icy surroundings were being removed and dug away. Solaris Shadowsong-Volkova spent searching for dead exiled Kree people as she found nothing related to the Kree Eternal. She heavily sighed and rubbed her face from the scattered blizzard on her face and furcoat.

" Where in the universe am I going to find that freak and his brat? " she angrily thought. " This is already wasting my time here! I should be killing more of those damn rebels or anyone else. "

Without her knowledge, she found a body of humanoid looking reptilian with a height of seven feet. The Remnite-Russian woman looked closely and noticed the blue color scar on his left side of the face. Then, the shades of sapphire on his spikes and claws were also seen. She evilly smirked and inspected them. Then, she checked his pulse and breathing.

" This is not an ordinary lizard! He's part-Kree from his blood and human-like appearance. Definitely, he's still alive! " she concluded and released her katana when she was ready to end his life. " He's gonna die by his own bloodbath for sure if everyone finds him! "

Solaris determined herself to slay a half-Kree and positioned her sword to sever him for good. Suddenly, she was being pushed back by a loud echo from a distance and sending her flying. It was a middle-aged brunette Inhuman who looked uncanny to Tony Stark. He was wearing a black sheep-skin hat and a long dark coat. The green-haired lady slowly stood-up and faced her overpowered challenger.

" Vy derzhites' podal'she ot mertvykh, inache vy prisoyedinites' k nim! (You stay away from the dead or else you will join them!) " he cried.

" I can understand and respond in your language! " she scoffed and held her weapon. " Prishlo vremya tebe prisoyedinit'sya k mogile, beschelovechnyy! (It's time for you to join the grave, Inhuman!) "

" NIKOGDAAAA!! (NEVER!!) " the Inhuman yelled and echoed again to send her away from a distance. Solaris Shadowsong-Volkova failed to slay another victim as she hurriedly went away.

The Russian Inhuman checked the Kree-Lizard hybrid's vitals as he knew he was still alive. He took his laser flashlight and pointed at the boy's body. It took him some time to gain into normal temperature and consciousness. The hybrid opened his eyes and got surprised to see his rescuer.

" Vse khorosho, ya zdes'. Ne boysya...(It's okay, I'm here. Don't be afraid...) " the man assured and carefully aided him to stand-up.

" I'm sorry...I don't understand, " the boy spoke and felt lost in translation as he raised his eyebrows.

" Okay, you speak English, then. I'm sorry I assume you can understand Russian. "

" Russian? "

" It's our language in our country where you are standing, right now. "

 The Kree-Lizard boy remembered six months ago when he met the mysterious entity in Providenya. He had set his foot on the shores of the largest European nation. The burning skull man found him after he almost lost his life in sea. Finally, he realized he was no longer in Alaska.

" Russia? "

" Yes, " the man smiled and offered a handshake. " By the way, my name is Pavel Pesnya. What about you? "

" I don't have a name, " he sadly sighed and responded with the same gesture.

" It's all right, comrade, " Pavel smiled. " You're no longer alone and getting terrorized. "

" How did you know? "

" I scared that woman to death and she ran away. Wait, a minute, you're unconscious, right? "

 " I think so. Why? "

" Look, my friend, " Pavel explained and shrugged. " I have been spying around against those freaks who invaded our planet. It's a solo mission which I have done before. Now, I don't anyone to mess-up with someone's graveyard. Okay? "

" Indeed, as you wish. " 

 " By the way, this place is no longer safe to live, " he said. " Do you know where to go? "

" I don't know. I have been to America and Canada before I got here. "

" Well, I can help, " Pavel slightly smiled. " Don't worry. I can take you to Chernobyl or any nearby Siberian town where you can stay for the meantime. Now, let's go! "
