Delta's POV

"Chaos." I bowed to the creator of the Universe and then stood straight. He nodded and gestured for the nine of us to sit down at the big round table. So that's what we did.

"You're probably wondering why I called you in here." Chaos started, and we all agreed and nodded. "I need you to go on a mission to find the time stones." He said.

"Like from the Avengers?" I asked, confused. It was just movies, they didn't really exist. Did they?

"Wait, the Avengers exist?" Theta asked suddenly following in on the conversation.

"No." Chaos said, killing Theta and I's mood. "They are just called time stones, they don't actually control time and reality and that stuff. Besides, the stones from Avengers are called Infinity stones." He waved his hand ignorantly.

"Then why do you need them?" Eta asked, crossing her arms.

"Because they're pretty, and also dangerous. If they get knocked together they can blow up a whole planet. And the ruler of the planet Io, is planning on blowing up a few planets." Chaos explained to us. I adjusted my mask so it sat better on my face and nodded. These stones were probably just as bad as the Infinity stones in Avengers. Probably worse.

"I need you Delta and Alpha, Omicron, Eta and Kappa to get them." Chaos looked at each of us, and we all nodded.

"What about the rest of us?" Upsilon asked. She leaned closer to Epsilon and I could almost hear their hearts beating with love. Ugh. Why didn't I have an amazing girlfriend? I was the commander of the Chaos Army after all. Why didn't I have anyone?

"You will train the army, we have to be ready for war." Chaos answered. I sighed. Always the same answer.

"Chaos... When's the war happening?" I sighed loudly. He had been going on about this war for eight hundred years now, and it hasn't happened yet.

"Soon." I groaned. Always. The. Same. Answer. Always! I stood up.

"We will be leaving now to get the time stones." I reported. "Alpha, Omicron, Eta and Kappa follow me." I said and started to walk to the double doors. I opened the double doors and walked out with my team. We had some stones to get.

***

I sneaked up to the big wall, and looked around the corner. Four guards were guarding the gates, there were probably more guards inside the castle too. I looked back at my team and gave a signal to Kappa and Eta, they silently nodded and drew their bows. They sneaked up to the corner and pulled the string on their bows back, arrows magically appearing. When they released two of the guards fell, and it wasn't long until the last two had fallen too. I smirked underneath my hood, and ran over to the gates against the wall with the team. In the big gate was a small door for the guards to get through, I looked over my shoulder and Omicron nodded, confirming no one was coming. I turned to the door and quickly picked the lock, the door opened with a small creak sound. I winced but couldn't hear any voices of alarm coming from the castle, so I opened the door so we were able to get in.

I watched as guards walked back and forth in front of the door to inside the big castle. It was going to be hard to get in, but nothing we couldn't handle. Alpha made a small sound, letting us know he would deal with them. We all nodded and followed after him, weapons ready if he'd miss anyone. The guards saw us and drew their swords, but Alpha just did a sweep with his hand and the weapons flew out of their hands and landed behind us. I smirked as I saw their surprised faces. Alpha did another sweep with his hand and the guards went flying. Well, they floated in the air, and couldn't really do anything. They watched us with big eyes as we walked underneath them and entered the castle. I heard one yell after us, but it was muffled.

We walked down the long hallway and took a few turns, since we didn't know exactly where these stones were. We walked around the castle like idiots for a few minutes, fighting a guard when we saw one, when we suddenly stood in front of a big red door with funny carvings of pictures of people strangling each other, and snakes eating their own tails.

"Delta." Eta said. I nodded and stepped forward. I grabbed the doorknob and turned it. As expected the door didn't go up. Five seconds after I had picked the lock, and the door went up smoothly. We walked in, prepared for boobytraps but nothing came. Odd. We walked in and looked around in the big open room. On one side it had four big windows, where a bright light came in from the sun, beside that the room was empty. But in the middle of it was a pedestal, and on it were two stones. Both black with purple, blue and orange streaks in, and small white spots. They looked like the galaxy. I took a step forward and then frowned. This seemed way too easy. Didn't the ruler of Io have any sort of protection for the Time Stones? I shared a look with Eta, we were thinking the same. The rest probably too. This was too easy. But why haven't there been any traps or guards here?

As soon as I thought of it a black figure jumped down from the roof landing on the other side of the Time Stones. I couldn't see the person's face because it was covered under a hood. I narrowed my eyes and drew my sword, it glistened in the light from the sun. I could hear the rest of the team drawing their weapons too. This person was going down. We had a mission. Get the stones and get out. If this person was going to prevent that, then the person would have to die. I began walking towards the man who had drawn a bow and was aiming with an arrow at me. As he shot the arrow I raised my sword and cut it in half. I smirked, this was going to be easy. I made a small flick with my left hand, notifying the others that I would be taking care of the uninvited guest. I walked around the pedestal and swung my sword at him, he quickly dodged it, and an arrow came flying in return, but suddenly flew backwards towards the archer.

'Thanks Alpha' I spoke in my mind, a slight hum came in return. The archer had catched the arrow and had thrown it on the ground.

"Who are you?" I asked, as I jumped at him. Let's just assume it's a man? Okay? His posture isn't very feminine and he's too big for being a female.

The archer didn't respond but drew a dagger and blocked my attack. I tried to look under his hood, but it was impossible, it was as if there was magic over it, so you couldn't see who it was.. or else the guy just didn't have a face. The man stepped to the side and tried to stab me in the side, but I managed to get out of the way and land a it on him, sadly not with the sword, but with my fist, but it was okay, cause he stumbled a few steps back, which gave me just enough time to swing my sword at him. The blade cut through his sleeve and left a small wound on his arm, I could hear him wince, and could slightly see a mouth with a cat grin under the hood, then it turned dark again and he round kicked me in the face, causing me to fall to the ground. I looked up at the man and saw him move towards the pedestal where the stones still were on, why hadn't the team taken them? I got up but as I was up the archer took the stones and knocked Kappa out as he ran to the windows and jumped out of them. I rushed over to the broken window and looked down, to see where he was, but he was gone. I turned around and looked at the rest of the team.

"What the hell just happened?" I asked bluntly.
