Chapter Text
Fury arrived on Earth with Master Sledge, looking for the Energems. They had to be somewhere. That crook Keeper definitely had them here. Fury caught a glimpse of the red robed figure, who was standing there with six weird looking things. Standing on two legs and having hair. Like weird apes. Sledge notices as well, and both walk toward Keeper and the Rangers.
“Keeper, you mangy cockroach, these puny creatures are on your side?!”
Sledge calls out, his voice growling and mocking. The blue one steps forward, narrowing his eyes.
“It’s.. morphing time!”
And from that point on, Sledge and Fury got absolutely DESTROYED. Beaten up by a few colorful idiots in latex! Sledge got killed, and Fury played dead until the Rangers and Keeper were gone. It wasn’t the best way to handle things, and he’d definitely be ornery about it later, but it was fine!
After Keeper and the Rangers leave, Fury gets up, growling to himself.
“Pesky Rangers! Stupid Keeper!! Ugh. I need the people on ship to get me.”
He mumbles to himself, calling up to the ship.
“Poisandra!! Wrench!!”
The ship lands, Poisandra strutting out.
“Where’s my Sledgy?! What happened-“
She suddenly gasps, rushing over to Sledge’s dead form. Her sobs were shortly heard. Fury couldn’t help but roll his eyes. So dramatic.
“Hey, shut up! Now c’mon, and get on the ship! I don’t have all day for this.”
Fury snapped.
Aaaand that’s how he got stranded on Earth. Poisandra also sent down Sledge’s asteroids so they’d hopefully kill him. Great. Just great. Fury, being the literal trained warrior and General he is, managed to survive relatively well. Billions of years passed and Fury was doing okay.
But.. y’know, it was around the 2000’s when Fury got.. a problem.
He was running low on food.
Usually, he’d just hunt a deer and eat that, but nowadays, he could barely go anywhere without there being pesky humans all around. In the forests, humans. In the caves, humans. In the damn mountains, humans!! Humans, humans, humans!! Just everywhere!!
Fury began to get really hungry. I do mean, really hungry. A whole twenty six years went by and he was on the brink of death. Of course, he had a different life-span, meaning he could last longer without food. But he was almost at his limit, unfortunately. He hid in the deepest depths of the caves, feasting on the bats and raccoons that occasionally made it inside.
But that still wasn’t enough.
Fury lies on the cave ground, then inevitably decides it: He is completely without another choice.
He has to risk being seen by a human to get some damn food.
And thankfully, his sensitive nose could smell a wonderful scent, even from where he was. Fury finally got up, put on his cloak, and made his way out of the cave. He flinched at sunlight, but kept going. Fury followed the scent like it was a life force. And technically, it was.
Fury made his way through town without even a glance his way, not that Fury was paying attention anyway, he was starving and that delicious, meaty scent just kept him going!
Fury finally made it to a building, one with a weird goofy cartoon burger on it. Fury went up to one of the windows, smelling the scent stronger than ever. He peeked inside, and there it was.
Four delicious meaty patties, all sizzling on a grill that created thick clouds of smoke. Fury nearly melted at the scent. He slinks on over to tables, where filthy humans sat and ate the meat stuffed between burger buns, and slices of melted, gooey cheese. Fury would cause a scene for those damn burgers, but he couldn’t. Not right now.
Fury waited until dark, then snuck into the burger place through the window they had left open. Fury hops down on the black and white tiled floor, looking around for anything— ANYTHING!! Then, he finally saw it.
A burger. Double patty, four slices of melted cheese, and tomato slices in between. Sesame seed bun and freshly cut tomatoes. Fury didn’t hesitate one moment. He lunged at that burger and ate it in one bite. He didn’t even care that his hood had fallen off. That was, until he heard it.
THUNK!
Fury paused mid-chew, slowly turning over and noticing a frozen figure.
A woman.
The woman had black hair and mean green eyes, being pretty short and having a bit of curve. Fury swallowed down the rest of the burger without hesitation, causing the woman to immediately snap.
“HEY!! THAT WAS MY DAMN DINNER!”
Fury didn’t know what to do. He’s been yelled at by women before, but none as intense as this one. Before he knew it, the lady had pulled a hand pistol from her pocket and pointed it. And as much as Fury hated it..
He ran away.
Ran away like a scared little kitty cat.
But Fury knew he’d be back.
Because that was the best damn burger he’s had in his whole life.
