Darkness: "Good morning, Light."
Light: "Good morning, Darkness. So… are we adding something new to the world today?"
Darkness: "Yes. First, we're going to merge everything we've created and expand the universe. Make it more stable… and much larger."
Light: "What do you mean exactly?"
Darkness: "We'll be adding more planets, stars, and galaxies. More life. More space for growth, evolution… possibility."
Light: "But wouldn't that cause problems? Overlap? Chaos?"
Darkness: "Don't worry. I've planned for this. Hold on… let me do it now."
A pulse of energy rippled across space. The void around them stretched and bloomed into color and complexity.
Darkness: "There. You may feel a little strange… but it's done. The universe is now bigger—and more alive."
Light: "Yeah… I can feel it."
Darkness: "By the way, Light—this place is now home to many deities. Beings created to maintain destruction, peace, and balance. So be careful where you roam. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves."
Light: "But why? Why hide who we are?"
Darkness: "Because if the universe discovered the truth—that we're the creators—it would throw everything into chaos. Some would worship us. Others would fear us. It's better this way."
Light: "Makes sense… You planned ahead?"
Darkness: "Of course. I made sure no one—especially the gods—noticed the changes I made."
Light: "Smart, Darkness."
Darkness: "Thanks. I also built a space for us to train. A safe place to study the universe… and our powers."
Light: "But why do you seem worried about the gods here?"
Darkness(sighs): "Because no world is ever truly peaceful. Even gods aren't perfect. No matter how powerful, no being can prevent conflict forever. And something… something is coming. I can't see it clearly—but I feel it."
Light: "Then we'll prepare. We'll become smarter, stronger… ready."
Darkness: "Good. But understand this—it may take years to learn everything. Every planet, every species, every dimension… and every hidden power. You still want to do this?"
Light: "Yes. Let's begin."
They stepped into their training realm—a private corner of the cosmos, hidden from all eyes. Their powers began to unfold.
Darkness: "I've discovered something… an orb ability. I can summon and shape these orbs into anything I imagine—and there's no limit. The more I use them, the stronger I feel."
Light: "I'm starting to understand mine too. I've become insanely fast… almost like speed itself. And I can heal others—instantly. Even bring things back."
Darkness: "That's powerful. Master your speed. Don't just run fast—control it. Move between atoms. Between dimensions. Do the impossible."
Light: "I will."
Darkness: "I'll perfect my orbs. Once we've mastered our powers… we'll begin studying the world Mother left behind. Especially Earth."
🌠 26 Years Later…
Light: "Alright, Darkness… I think we've trained long enough, don't you?"
Darkness: "Yes. We're stronger than ever now."
Light: "Then let's leave this place."
They turned, leaving their training realm behind, floating once again in the vastness of space.
Suddenly—
Darkness: "LIGHT—DON'T MOVE!"
🌌 Narrator:
The brothers froze.
And for the first time in decades… they felt fear.
