The Black Lion - The New Order is coming

Prince T’challa, The Black Rock – New York

“We are gathered on this special night, for an even more special occasion, Harrison Evans, founder and owner of Evans Technologies is about to unveil to the world the results of the enigmatic Pathfinder project, shareholders, the U.S. government and the entire world are holding their breath anxiously over whatever it is that the Black Lion describes as "the next big step for the human race" reporting for the New York Bulletin,  Karen Page," said the intrepid reporter, who was at the entrance to the Black Rock reserved for the press

The occasion was simply too important for everyone, reporters and media from all over the world were present, all wishing to take the Black Lion's attention, at least for a second

"This place is impressive," Shuri said grumblingly, as she looked with a frown at the imposing and terrifying building, the Black Rock was an architectural monster, overshadowing everything they had in Wakanda, no matter how much such a statement bothered his father, King T'chaka and hurt the pride of his mother and sister

The prince focused his gaze on his sister, who moved her fingers at great speed over her kimoyo beads, while frowning at the Tower, as if it were her greatest rival

"What are you doing, sister?" T'challa asked, with obvious amusement in his voice, at least until his sister's artifact began to release emerald sparks, at the same time that it turned on and off nonstop, alarming Shuri, T'challa and T'chaka alike

"Daughter?" T'chaka asked, with a dangerous tone of voice, while looking around, the Dora Milaje made a circle around the royal family, blocking the view of the people, but evidently attracting the attention of several guests, at least for a moment

Shuri looked really worried, unable to take control of the beads again, which had stopped emitting the traditional purple glow of Wakanda, and now shone a completely emerald color

"I don't know what's going on, Baba! I tried to break into the tower's systems and..." However, the words of his young, brilliant but naïve sister were interrupted by King T'chaka

"What? Why did you do what? Are you crazy? We came to the event to try to get close to the Black Lion and buy a flotilla of ships, and the first thing you do is try to hack his tower?” The annoyance in the king's voice was more than evident

"I thought I could outwit his systems and..." the young genius tried to speak, but again, she was interrupted, this time, for someone far more powerful and terrifying that the King of Wakanda

“And trying to steal the blueprints for the Evans-Richards engine, as well as snooping on my company's secret projects?” said an icy voice, which just by hearing it made the entire royal family and the Dora Milaje shudder

T'challa turned his head, staring straight ahead at Harrison Evans' towering vision, his impressive height and terrifyingly perfect physique staring straight at the royal family of Wakanda, while, on his wrist, an emerald-colored holographic interface glowed softly, an enormous amount of data appearing for an instant on the interface before disappearing

Beside him, there was someone familiar to T'challa, someone he hadn't seen in a long time, and to his anguish, she took the arm of the Young Lion with elegance and intimacy, she looked even more beautiful than he remembered, her ebony skin made a beautiful contrast with the white dress and gold jewelry that adorned her skin, her beautiful white curls made her look like the Goddess she was

And taking the arm of a man who was not him, T'challa thought with anguish and jealousy

"Goddess," he said with respect and devotion

Only to watch with a frown as the Black Lion elegantly placed his hand on the waist of the beautiful African Goddess, bringing her closer to his body in a subtle gesture, the contrast between the physiques of both was quite clear, the Goddess was a tall, slender and beautiful woman, stealing glances wherever she passed,  and even so, she seemed insignificant with the more than two meters and imposing physique of the Black Lion

"We agree with that statement Prince T'challa, my Ororo is as beautiful as a Goddess of fertility," Harrison Evans said with a subtle smile, making Ororo blush softly as she leaned on his body intimately, making the reciprocity between the two more than clear

His father quickly pulled himself together, and took his classic king stance, Shuri doing his best to make herself small, while T'challa stood one step behind her father, as was proper, however, when King T'chaka opened his mouth to speak, the Black Lion continued

A simple conversation control tactic

“Although I must admit that, such a curious device is really interesting, these kimoyo beads, are more sophisticated than anything I've seen before, your firewalls are relentless, Hermione really enjoyed tearing them to pieces, King T'chaka of the hidden nation of Wakanda, a land with slightly better than average technology hiding in the middle of Africa, curious to say the least, a mountain of vibranium,  well, someone has been a selfish child, although not very bright to say the least” said the Black Lion his face adorned with a small smile of amusement, while the royal family of Wakanda tensed up

The family's bodyguards were preparing to intervene, at least until the king raised a hand and stopped them on the spot to T’challa’s relief, something in Harrison Evans' physique telling him that he was the most dangerous man he had ever met

"That information is classified, Mr. Evans," said his father, his face empty of any expression

Harrison smiled again, this time, without a hint of amusement, it was a cynical smile

"Curious, the secrets of my company are too, and I didn't see that the little brat had any qualms about trying to snoop around about them" she said sharply

And although T'challa knew that the Black Lion was right, he found himself tense about the situation with Ororo, so he opened his mouth to argue, only to be interrupted by King T'chaka

"You're right, my daughter has always been brilliant, but impulsive and arrogant, rest assured that I will take care of disciplining her properly," said the king, making the young princess Shuri frown at the tone used, but knowing how tense the situation was, she did not respond, something wise and strange on her part

Harrison Evans stared at the royal family for a few moments, before nodding slowly and continuing

"I guess that, like everyone here, you want to get on the waiting list for space vehicles, the price is standard, a billion dollars per vehicle and a one-year waiting list," Harrison Evans said calmly, as he reactivated his curious holographic interface, which inevitably caught the attention of the curious princess

“Is that a neural holographic interface? What's its name? What type of data processing do you use?” asked the young princess, her curiosity being stronger than her embarrassment

The black lion raised an eyebrow in amusement and replied

"I call it Omni-tool, I make it, it's a holographic wrist device, which works like a kind of digital Swiss Army knife, they work as a communication device, computer, scanner and manufacturing module, the processor is microscopic and is owned by Evans Technologies, of my own creation, seven hundred and seventy-seven cores with one thousand two hundred threads, a frequency of 343 GHz. Designed specifically for the optimization of my hardware," said Harrison, confusing both T'challa and his father, though to his no surprise, Shuri was able to understand what the black lion was talking about

His sister saw Harrison Evans as if he were a deity and couldn't help but ask

"But…but... but... that level of architecture would involve huge heat emissions, your wrist should be cooking alive, the best processor in Wakanda is two hundred and twenty-three cores and six hundred threads, and the highest frequency we can safely use is 100 GHz.” whispered Shuri, as her eyes begged for more information about it

Harrison Evans' response? Smile enigmatically and focus his gaze on King T'chaka

"I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement to expedite Wakanda's request on the waiting list," said the old king slyly, causing the Black Lion to raise an eyebrow and speak

“Can we? The Mandarin, my apologies, the Chinese government commissioned a hundred units, Latveria fifty, those two are my biggest customers at the moment, all the countries in Europe commissioned at least three, even the countries in Latin America commissioned at least one, with Mexico and Brazil commissioning two each, if you want a higher priority, the incentive should be quite attractive”

The king nodded, waiting for that answer, however, T'challa couldn't help to notice something

"You mentioned many countries in the world, but not the United States," said the prince, causing the black lion to look directly at him

"President Kelly is still adamant that Evans-Richards technology should belong to the United States for reasons of national security, consequently, for the United States, the price of each space vehicle amounted to a hundred billion dollars until the president is removed from office," Harrison Evans said matter-of-factly, the message quite clear to both the nation, as for the world

Harrison Evans dominated the country, no matter how much an imbecile like Kelly sat in the oval office, and dozens of senators with luxurious suits and inflated salaries shouted every day that they governed the country, the reality was much simpler, if the black lion gave an order

The West obeyed, as easy as that

The new world order was approaching, the Mandarin dominated Asia, his influence was wide and his reach vast, he is present in all important sectors of the country

Victor Von Doom ruled from Latveria with an iron fist in one hand, and abundance in the other, the ruler had considerable influence in Eastern Europe and Russia, it was matter of time before he takes control of the region

And Harrison Evans' word was law in the West, his most recent alliance with Potter technologies, the absorption of the Donald Pierce and Paris Seville industries, as well as the founding of the Black Diamond coalition, chaired by Emma Frost in person, made it clear who really had the last word in this hemisphere

The only power vacuum was in Africa, he had to talk seriously to his father, it was vitally important that Wakanda expand its political influence in the region, the isolation policies they had managed all this time had become obsolete, the world was unified, and if they didn't do something about it, they would be left behind

"Well, the time has come for the main event, you will come tomorrow to my office King T'chaka, with a good offer, if you really want to acquire my ships, ten o’clock, don't be late," ordered the black lion, before nodding elegantly and leaving, heading by the hand of the Goddess towards the central dais

Okoye, captain of the royal family's personal guard, frowned and said

“Who the hell does he think he is to give orders to the political leaders of a sovereign nation?” she asks, it was evident that the warrior's opinion of the black lion was not the best

“He is the one who has all the cards, and he knows it, we can do nothing, he releases our agenda for tomorrow, apparently, we have a meeting to attend”

A second later, the central platform began to levitate in the center of the event, in it, the black lion was surrounded by his inner circle, T'challa was able to recognize important faces, being the Goddess, Miss Frost and the imposing and elegant Miss Seville among a lot of beautiful women

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you are having fun at this beautiful evening, Miss Frost has excellent taste," began the young businessman to break the ice

Everyone present laughed falsely, though Harrison Evans didn't seem to make any big deal out of it.

Smiling, the black lion used his brand new omni-tool, starting to give orders through the curious interface

“Now, the moment that everyone is waiting for has arrived, the official presentation of the amazing and brand-new commercial spacecraft of Evans Technologies, so, without further ado, I present to you the manned space vehicle of cargo mk. 1, nicknamed the Minotaur” and as soon as the black lion finished speaking, a projection of the Minotaur appeared in the elegant living room

It was large, with a square and crude exterior, evidently modular, designed to carry four huge containers at the bottom, while the top was equipped with mechanical arms and mining tools, the ship was austere but futuristic at the same time, a rather strange contrast for T'challa

“With one hundred meters long and with the capacity to carry fifty tons per trip, the Minotaur is designed for civilian space mining tasks, it has a gravitational attraction system that will allow it to anchor asteroids to its hull, while the mechanical arms and diamond-tipped drills are responsible for the processing of minerals, its specialized ion engines will allow it to move at one thousand two hundred kilometers per hour in zero gravity in sub flight while its brand new Evans-Richards engine will allow flights at the speed of light, three hundred thousand kilometers per second” said the tycoon and in the process, leaving the world totally mute again

An instant later, the cheers and applause overwhelmed the entire room, everyone looked wonderfully at the most important invention in the history of humanity,

"Oh, so that's his plan," Shuri said to herself, drawing the attention of her father and T'challa himself

“What do you mean, sister?” asked the prince, while the princess observed the hologram of the Minotaur with great attention

"Simple brother, the minotaur will move at the speed of light, which, although it sounds impressive, is really slow on an astronomical scale, the Stingray flew to Charon in seconds, in comparison, it would take the Minotaur more than five hours to make the same trip," said Shuri, impressed with the Black Lion's Machiavellian mind

"So, are these ships a scam?" asked the king while frowning, looking at the hologram in question

"Of course, not Baba, the Minotaur is still a wonderful technological invention, the average world technology would take ten years to send an unmanned vehicle to Pluto, in comparison, the ability to send humans in an average of five hours is something really wonderful, but it makes one thing clear," Shuri said

And T'challa understood it instantly

"The Evans-Richards engine that is on sale is an inferior version of the one used by the Stingray, so while humanity will be playing with mirrors in the solar system..." Shuri interrupted his brother

"The Black Lion will have the stars in his hands," said the princess

And in case there was any doubt about the superiority of the Black Lion, Harrison Evans spoke again

“And for the grand finale, it is my pleasure to inform you of the new exploration ship, owned by Evans Technologies, which will have the mission of beginning the processes of space exploration and colonization, on behalf of the Black Diamond coalition, ladies and gentlemen, before you, the PATHFINDER!!” Harrison exclaimed, at the same time that the windows of the living room suddenly became transparent, showing a stunning image of the New York sky

And from the clouds...something appeared

"Shit," Shuri said without anyone reprimanding her, as a powerful colossus began to descend, made of matte black metal and emerald lights, at least half a kilometer long, everything in the imposing ship screamed only one thing

Absolute power

Words were lacking in all the guests, while the members of the inner circle of the Black Lion looked with evident satisfaction, the political message more than evident

"That thing is not a scout ship, it's a battleship," whispered King T'chaka, looking at the imposing and terrifying image of the Pathfinder, floating over the city, T'challa had no doubt that tomorrow, all the newspapers in the country or even the whole world would talk about the imposing ship, the message more than clear

The world was walking toward the stars because Harrison Evans allowed it, and if the black lion had shown the world the Evans-Richards engine

It is because it was evidently outdated technology for him

"An alliance with Harrison Evans is our priority," said the young prince, looking at his father, who simply nodded

The political and economic winds were shifting, the world was unifying, and Wakanda was not going to be left behind

T'challa would make sure of that

Ororo Munroe, at the same time, The Black Rock

The revelation of the Pathfinder had been a success, Emma watched in an almost orgasmic state as the world reacted to the revelation, the shares and value of companies increased unrealistically, while, through the internet, Harrison Evans was declared the most influential man in human history

And they were right, thought the beautiful Ebony Goddess, the Pathfinder was simply impressive and another nail in the ever-tightening coffin of the current global governments, very slowly, Harrison was tying the knots for the new regime  

The problems were coming to a head, President Kelly's government was openly hostile to Harrison, although they could not do much considering the dependence they had on Evans Technologies in general

Harrison's unorthodox stance, his obvious pro-mutant policies, and his principle of helping humanity in general, and not just the United States, made him persona non grata in Washington, although since the Stern incident, no one had been stupid enough to try anything against the black lion

Everyone was really terrified of him, after all, there was no politician totally clean, and if Harrison was able to unravel Sterns' deepest secrets, no one was really safe

The reality was that, as much as Washington wanted to fool himself, Harry was far more powerful and influential than they were, both in political and economic power, and as his beloved man said, there was nothing a pathetic man with a shred of power to detest than to be challenged

"This was a success," said Jean, dressed in an beautiful emerald dress that highlighted her eyes, as she watched all the guests look at each other in amazement and accomplishment

"That's right, my dear, I'm sure the message will be loud and clear, let's hope this reduces the famous hunts of the friends of humanity, or we'll have to take the trouble to take more action..." Ororo snapped with more than obvious contempt, even remembering the near death of the little mutant, who was stopped thanks to the intervention of Sai, one of the deadliest lionesses in Harry's service

Fifty supremacists dead and the little girl safe and protected with Charles, without clues, without witnesses, Sai's psionic blade slaughtered fifty animals that night, the best outcome in Ororo's opinion

Alas, the Goddess's annoyance disappeared as she felt Harrison's huge and strong hand on her lower back, totally naked due to the dress chosen, the contrast of his rough hand on Ororo's smooth and perfect skin made the Goddess shudder completely, Harrison's magic enveloped her with warmth, while her sweet petals began to moisten

Apparently, her beloved lion was in good spirits, Ororo thought with amusement, as she rubbed her thighs discreetly to ease a little of the fire in her womanhood

"Do we have any news about the King Namor affair?" Harrison asked while the guests were still hypnotized by the Pathfinder

Ororo shook his head, when the world knew the Olympus Station, more than one would faint from the emotion

“No, we keep our part of the deal, we are cleaning the oceans, however, Aquaria requests a personal meeting with you darling- said Ororo, ignoring the cause of such a request

“Emma's plan worked perfectly, Shaw's downfall process is imminent, the club is a joke at this point, Pierce is in prison, Warrington abandoned Shaw completely, and Hammer is on the verge of bankruptcy, Emma and Pepper are dividing the bone between them, we are waiting for the lowest point of despair to release all the misdeeds carried out,  when Hammer Industries no longer exists, Shaw will be really vulnerable, everything is planned for that moment," Ororo said calmly, while drinking from his glass calmly

"Excellent work, but I couldn't expect anything less from my queens," Harrison said with obvious pride, making Ororo smile pleased with herself

“Will we have fun tonight?” she asked with obvious desire, her hand seductively caressed her man's arm, the message more than clear

"Of course, my dear, the rest of the lionesses must prepare for the New Dawn project, so it will be up to my dear Goddess to satisfy my carnal appetites tonight," Harrison growled with desire, as he lowered his hand to Ororo's beautiful and large butt, at the same time using his hand discreetly to avoid peeping toms

The beautiful African Goddess groaned loudly and focusing her eyes on Harrison said with a smile of amusement 

"You don't have to worry about T'challa dear, you know I'm yours, forever, you take my pussy and makes me addicted to your amazing manhood" Ororo said with amusement mixed real concern, she didn't want trouble with her man for a passing flame from the past

Harrison's response? Give her a gentle kiss on the cheek, while whispering in her ear softly

"I will erase any trace of another man from your beautiful skin my love, you are mine, one of my queens, one of the lionesses of my pride, and no one else," Harrison said with a possessive and determined tone that wreaked havoc on the mutant's crotch

Ororo stifled a loud groan at his man's words and looked around, observing that everyone was still absorbed with the Pathfinder, taking photos and videos about the gala

"Let's go, right now, I need to ride you my lion" Ororo ordered, groping Harrison's crotch without any shame, desire had overcome her

Harrison's response? Smile triumphantly, and command the rest of the lionesses

"I will go ahead with Ororo to our chambers, as soon as the gala is over, join us" and without waiting for an answer, he took the ebony Goddess by the waist, with all the intention of disappearing instantly

However,...

Such action was interrupted by an explosion, and not a normal one

Scarlet flames and a powerful magical energy were present in the outskirts of the city, nature was chaotic and unbridled, for lack of a better adjective

“What the hell was that?” Ororo asked, looking through the windows with concern

Harrison didn't answer, his gaze totally focused on the magical pulsations he was feeling

“Hermione, origin of the anomaly?” Harr asks

And the Black Lion's personal Artificial Intelligence responded

“Ravencroft Institute, apparently, a catastrophic failure caused a mass escape of prisoners”

Harry nodded, as the happy and pleasant atmosphere of the gala turned to suspicion and curiosity

No one knew what to expect, least of all Harrison, who could only use one word to describe the powerful and strange sensation that invaded him

Madness

Little did Harrison know that a new lioness had just arrived, a powerful one that would change the world forever

A scarlet one
