Prologue.
The cries... screams of terror... The sounds of gunshots and bodies falling to the ground. People were fleeing in panic from the humanoid creatures in armour with laser weapons. Dozens of people were dying every second, the army that was supposed to protect the planet could not cope with so many attackers.
All that was left of the planet that was once considered the peak of development was ruins. Buildings that were as tall as the heavens now lay on the ground.... Ships that drifted proudly across the sky were being hit by enemy gunfire every second. No longer was the peace and order that only yesterday could be seen.
~BUM!!!
Another explosion and a new destroyed building, leaving only rubble to litter the people who ran past.... And just yesterday the sky was bright blue, children were running through the streets laughing happily, attracting the attention of the adults who looked at them with amusement.
In a neighbouring building sat two young people, a girl, stroking her belly and smiling softly, and opposite her, sat a young man, who considered himself the happiest man in the world....
Only one thing was on the minds of the people who were trying to save their lives and the lives of their loved ones...
"Why? What sins have we committed to have this nightmare descend upon our heads?"
***
Standing on the still solid building was a two-metre tall blue-skinned creature with thick wrinkled skin and eyes as dark as tar, wearing blue armour that covered his body completely. All you could see on his face was boredom.
- And this is the most advanced civilisation in the entire universe? - The creature looked at a middle-aged man with grey hair and a wrinkled face, wearing a yellow tight-fitting suit with a collar that covered half of his face and a cloak that completely covered his figure. His right arm was twisted in an unnatural direction and blood was pouring from his forehead, flooding his eye. Breathing heavily, he looked at the creature," I am disappointed.... Father," he smirked, emphasising the last word with a snide intonation.
- I'm not your father! - A monster like you can't be my son! - In response, he heard only a bass laughter.
- Whatever you say, father. whatever you say.
- Why are you doing this?! - The man shouted angrily, "This is the place where you were born and lived...
- Don't be ridiculous," he interrupted him, "You threw me out...
- YOU KILLED YOUR MOTHER! For... for the sake of--
- Yes, for her," the creature shouted with madness, "And for her I will destroy everyone... so that she would pay attention to me and no one will stop me!
- You're insane. Thanos. insane.
- I know it, I know it!
- I will stop you from committing this grave sin," Thanos' face didn't waver a muscle, he looked at his father with the same bored face.
- It's getting late," the titan said with anticipation, looking up at the sky.
The barrier that covered the planet Titan was slowly disintegrating, revealing a huge dark object hovering above it.
- It can't be, how could you access the satellite! - shouted A'Lars in horror, "Stop that TANOS!
- In fifteen seconds it will hit the planet leaving no survivors.
- TANOS! STOP IT!
- It's too late to do anything about it, the process is irreversible... - the satellite grew brighter and brighter with each passing second.
At that moment, the roof of one of the destroyed buildings hit Thanos, knocking him to the ground.
- Brother, you've really lost your mind, and I tried not to believe it until the end," said a man in his twenties, with bright scarlet hair and blue eyes, who appeared in the sky with regret. He wore a black nano-armour with red veins and framed by similarly coloured stones.
- EROS! - he shouted happily, "Is the whole family here? I'm going to cry," he wiped away an invisible tear, "You're just in time!
- Thanos," Eros raised his hand above his head and began to age at a furious rate before his father and brother's eyes. A red ball began to appear in his hand, emanating such power that even his father felt a chill.... - I failed to stop you a second time, but I won't make that mistake again, so I hope we can meet you in the other world and talk properly," he looked at his wrinkled hand, "Again, and there's so much I haven't done yet....
- It's... EROS! - A'Lars cried out in horror, he realised what was happening at once, "Drop that stone, it will destroy you!
- I know Father. - The stone in Eros's hand was the primordial stone of chaos, it had a power so powerful that even TOAA* would never touch it. After all, by absorbing just a fraction of a creature's energy, it would dry it up, but in return it would give it strength, but only for a moment, and then it would consume the soul... - But I have no other choice, and if ever you can, then forgive me, Father.
For only a second, a red glow engulfed the entire world, and at the same moment it was extinguished.
Silence descended on the entire planet... The enemies that had invaded Titan were gone, the buildings that burned were extinguished, and the wounded were healed, but only the dead remained lying on the ground.
- Eros," tears flowed from A'Lars' eyes, "Foolish son....
People began to emerge from under the rubble, their eyes fixed on the sky.... They were all relieved that the madness was over.... Many were grieving the loss of loved ones, others were happy that they had survived.
***
"And darkness again..." - Eros thought regretfully, it was not his first life but his second, but he died again, "But I was still happy, compared to my first life I had a great life. I had loving parents, a brother who was insane... What else do you need for a happy life?" - Chuckling, Eros looked around, but as before, one darkness.
"I hope father is doing well over there... No! I have faith in him, he's strong, he's definitely not going to give up and in the near future, Titan will announce himself again!" - he tried to distract himself from the subject, thinking of anything he could think of....
An unknown amount of time later.
- BORING! LET ME OFF, I'M ON THE WRONG BUS! - but, as before, silence was his answer. - Hm... What have we got here? - A white spot appeared not far from him, and it was rapidly expanding. After a couple of seconds, the hole became a little more than two metres in size, - I don't like it, but there's no choice, - sighing, Eros took one last look into this darkness... "Better the unknown than spending another second in this dark hole."
Unknown place.
- Hey Hashi, why are you so quiet, let's have a drink! - said a young man about 18-19 years old, in a white T-shirt and shorts, - Or are you still thinking about that kid who used your trinket?
- Hm... - called "Hasi" didn't answer anything to the young man's question and continued to look into the crystal ball that had the red-haired guy stepping into the white hole, -He went in.
- That's good, now you have a new toy," the guy patted the glass happily, draining it in a second.
- No, he helped me out a lot by using my soul shard, strengthening my connection to that world," his eyes glowed red for a moment and then quickly went out.
- Oh," the boy said in surprise, "That's the first time I've ever seen you help anyone.
- It's none of your business," he said with a frown.
The balloon went out and "Khasi" sat down at the table, taking a full glass in his hand and drained it quickly.
"Well let's see what you do next, I'll be watching you.... Eros..."
