While San Francisco USA began to rebuild, far beyond Earth's skies…However the stars were screaming. A fleet of warships hovered above the dying world of Zeythar-9, debris from moon-sized satellites floating through space like broken bones. Firestorms raged across the atmosphere. In the center of the chaos He hovered. Eyes glowing like twin suns. Chestplate cracked, revealing pure cosmic energy. Zerion Appeared . Once a beacon of hope. Now corrupted by a force older than time.
"They called me a savior. Now I'll become a god." He raised his hand and a gravity wave shattered a continent.
That's when they arrived. The Galactic Heroes. A legendary strike team formed from multiple worlds, each with powers to rival titans. Today, they faced their greatest challenge yet. Captain Rayne Solar-charged tactician, able to split atoms with punches. Volt-Zera Speedster made of electricity, faster than thought. Thorne A war priest from the Iron Moons, wielding a hammer that bends space. Quanta Reality manipulator, time-shifter. Sierra Nova Telepathic genius with stellar flame manipulation. Kayo A silent warrior with unbreakable skin and gravity claws. They dropped in formation, surrounding Zerion mid-air. Captain Rayne shouted, "Zerion, you don't have to do this! Stand down"
Zerion's gaze burned. "I gave peace. They rejected it. Now they'll kneel." He moved.
So did they. CLASH. The sky tore apart. Captain Rayne collided with him in a burst of white plasma mountains below erupted. Volt-Zera zoomed around, zapping him with electricity while Thorne struck with his space-warping hammer each hit bending light. But Zerion didn't fall. He gripped Kayo mid-strike and threw him through a moon. Then turned and burned through Quanta's time field, causing ripples in reality that showed alternate futures entire galaxies turned to dust. Sierra Nova screamed, unleashing a supernova blast only for Zerion to catch it in his hand and hurl it back. One by one, the Galactic Heroes were knocked down. However they weren't broken. Bleeding, scorched, and exhausted they rose again. Rayne growled, "We don't fight because we're stronger. We fight because they can't." Zerion roared, lightning and flame spinning around him like a maelstrom.
To be continued…
