Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Getting the Hands on Vibranium

Running down the corridor, he heard the music he had put on and saw a man ahead of him with a black dot above his head.

Grabbing his katana from the right side, he threw it and hit him right in the heart.

The man behind him saw him kill his colleague.

When he saw him, he was ready to shoot, but he could not because Peter had already shot him in the shoulder.

Before he could scream in pain, Peter grabbed his second katana and threw it so that the handle hit him in the forehead, knocking him out.

Taking both katanas, Peter put them away and quickly repeated the same process he had done with the previous knockout victim.

Jumping, he grabbed the rod above and started to climb.

Hiding behind some barrels, he saw three subjects watching the perimeter. Looking over their heads, only one of the three had a black dot.

'I am surprised there is so little work here. I thought by the time I got out of here I would have killed more than half of them, but it seems I was wrong.'

Taking a few seconds, he looked at the crimes for each dot.

'Impressive. The vast majority are expert thieves. They may have committed one or two murders or rapes, but they do not compare to the black dots, which range from pimps, psychopaths, pedophile-rapists, kidnappers, slave traders, drug addicts, and dealers.'

Seeing the one in front of him, he was one of the worst: a slave owner and drug dealer.

Grabbing the crowbar next to him, he left his hiding place and ran toward the three of them. Jumping, he grabbed one between his legs and spun around, hitting one of them on the head with the crowbar, knocking him out.

Releasing the man, he quickly took his pistol from the holster and shot the subject with the black dot in the head. The remaining one was shocked by his attack on his companions, and looking down, he hit the last one in the head with the weapon, knocking him out.

'I love silencers.'

Turning his head, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs to his right. Running toward them, he looked down and saw a man going up them. When the man looked up, he saw him. Jumping up the stairs, he hit him with a double kick, making him fall back down the stairs and knocking him out in the process. Looking to the left, he saw another man who was about to talk on the radio. Before he could, he grabbed the gun from the knocked-out man and threw it at him.

Grabbing the weapon in mid-air, he hit him repeatedly, disfiguring his face in the process, but he ended up knocked out. Opening the door on the left, he looked down the hallway and saw three other subjects, two with black dots and one with a red one, each at a good distance from the other.

'In moments like this, I wish I had Cap's shield.'

Running, he grabbed the man with the black dot by the collar and made him crash into the one behind him, then pointed the gun at his stomach and fired twice, causing the bullets to pierce his stomach along with that of his colleague behind him, and then fired one into the middle of his forehead, killing them both.

Running again, he approached the third one and kicked him, causing him to crash into some objects and knock him out. He repeated the same process with him, breaking his bones and gagging him. Turning the whole ship around, he started knocking out and fracturing the bones of all the red dots and killing the black dots.

Returning to the starting point, he opened the captain's cabin door and went down some stairs. Looking at the HUD, he saw a large number of red dots and some black ones.

Taking a breath, he slowly began to knock out and eliminate each one. When everyone gradually realized that people were starting to disappear, he launched four bombs loaded with a powerful sleeping potion.

Little by little he watched the red dots turn blue, indicating they were neutralized, along with the orange dot. As he walked, he shot all the knocked-out subjects who had a black dot. When he approached Ulysses' office, he found him passed out on the floor, snoring.

"Cortana, do a scan of the ship and look for any secret compartments."

His eyes went from white to red and he moved his head in circles until the scanner detected something. Before leaving the office, he put a Guber in the computer so it would start copying all the important and interesting data.

Upon leaving the office, he approached the secret compartment and, looking at it closely, recognized it as the place shown in the Ultron film.

When he opened the door, all he found were barrels of oil.

"Cortana, I want you to open this door."

Instead of hearing a response, he heard a buzzing sound coming from the helmet. "Apparently, she is still angry about the fall."

Looking at the barrels, he heard the noise of gears turning, and little by little the barrels were lowered. Then he saw one of the beautiful things.

"Vibranium. One of the strongest metals on Earth," he said, taking a tube in his hands. "Magnificent. Simply magnificent."

He put the Vibranium back where it was before, then took a Nanocube from his belt, unfolded it, and a black metal chest quickly appeared.

Taking off his glove, he put his hand on the smooth top part.

A scanner appeared, and then he heard the sound of a lock. Once it was open, he put his glove back on and opened the chest.

Getting up, he took three tubes of Vibranium and placed them neatly side by side. Looking one last time at the Vibranium compartment, he noticed a silver stone. Picking it up, he saw it was slightly larger than his hand and heavier than it looked.

Looking at it curiously, he wondered internally why Klaue would have this here.

Using the helmet scanner, he searched to see what kind of mineral it was, but the only thing the scanner detected was that this component had similarities to Logan's DNA. That surprised him, because the only remaining component of Logan's blood was the poison that came from the adamantium skeleton.

"Adamantium!" He laughed like a maniac at having found another important mineral.

"Today, luck is on my side!" Putting the mineral in the chest, he closed it and pressed a button located to the left of it. The chest turned into a Nanocube which he put in his pocket.

Having obtained what he wanted, he returned to Klaue's office and retrieved the Guber.

Looking at Ulysses for a few seconds, he shook his head and sighed heavily before walking away.

"You will not kill him, will you?" Cortana's question made him stop in the middle of a hallway filled with men asleep on top of each other.

"Finally you speak. And sadly no. Ulysses is more useful alive than dead, and we can take that as a good thing for us."

'Not to mention that if I kill him I will disrupt the Wakanda and Ultron events, and I would much rather Ultron come with this man than go to Wakanda to steal Vibranium directly. A controlled outcome is preferable to one that is not. This man is like me in some ways. Many people may call me crazy, insane, a psychopath, a sociopath, a murderer, but unfortunately for those people, he, Doom, and I are necessary evils in this world, just like other villains.'

He continued walking down the corridor and every now and then stepped on some poor wretch.

Turning around, he took one last look, and right at that moment an imaginary lightbulb went off above his head.

"I think I have finally got it."

A huge smile through the helmet. "Cortana, bring the Web-Jet! Hahahaha."

---------------

Once Peter is up in the office, he looked up the ship's blueprints on the computer and opened several hatches through which the heavy compartment could be accessed.

Running back upstairs, he waited a few minutes and watched as the Web-Jet descended to land on the ship in a space where he had moved some things to allow it to land.

Approaching the Web-Jet, he turned around to grab two Nanocubes from his back pockets.

Twisting them with his thumb, he launched one, from which a small square emerged, and from the other, a small remote control.

He pressed the red button on the remote, causing the box to enlarge, its doors to open, and a total of 15 NS-5s to step out.

"Listen. I want you to go and take everything that is marked on your scanners. If it is too big, use one of these and mark it with its contents," he said, taking a Nanocube from his side pocket, twisting it, and throwing it so that a bag full of Nanocubes came out. "Okay. Let us get to work!"

Giving the final order, he watched as all the NS-5s began to work. Jumping up, he sat on top of the Web-Jet and watched them at it.

He put on some music through the helmet, something irreverent and playful, the kind of song a villain might whistle while his minions completed a heist.

He nodded his head to the rhythm and sang along quietly to himself, comparing himself to Gru from Despicable Me with complete satisfaction, because when Gru gets serious there is genuinely no one who can stop him.

After he finished, he watched as all the NS-5s arranged, organized, and labeled everything.

Once that was done, he saw each of them go back into the box. After the last one entered and lined up, the box doors closed.

Pressing the remote control button again, the box returned to its original size. Pressing another button, he transformed the box into a Nanocube. He got down to pick it up and put it back in his back pocket, doing the same with the remote control. With the bag full of Nanocubes and another bag containing a few more, he loaded them onto the Web-Jet and placed them in one of the hangars.

"Well, there is nothing else I need to do here. Let us go."

Taking a walk, he got into the Web-Jet and they headed toward the Spider-Cave.

'What a magnificent day. I got what I wanted, found some excellent material, killed some very bad people, and stole from someone very bad. Just another day in the life of Peter Parker.'
