The Earth screamed.
Cities trembled. Oceans boiled. Storms unlike anything humanity had ever seen raged across continents. The sky itself fractured with veins of light — energy leaking into reality from a dimension no scientist could name.
At the center of it all was Oblivion Prime, his body now towering within a vast crater where the city once stood. Beams of molten light pulsed from his core into the heavens, connecting Earth's atmosphere to something beyond the stars.
"The convergence has begun." His voice wasn't sound — it was vibration, emotion, will.

Scene 1: Global Chaos
Ethan Cross (AeroVane) stood atop a ruined skyscraper, wind spiraling violently around him to shield the survivors below. His eyes glowed pale blue — the wind obeyed him now on instinct, responding to his fear and rage alike.
Below, Lydia Kane (Blazara) was in full fury mode, her flames taking on a golden hue. Every time she exhaled, the air shimmered. "We can't hold this city alone! The energy's tearing reality apart!"
Marcus Vale's voice came through the comms, static crackling. "Every sensor I have is going haywire. Whatever Oblivion is doing, it's… connecting to something off-world."
Kai Rivers (VoltEdge) gritted his teeth, charging his palms with electric energy. "Then we disconnect him. Hard way or not."
Selene Black (Shadowveil) emerged from the smoke, her form flickering between solid and shadow. "If we hit him now, we'll die. We need a plan—something stronger than brute force."
Ethan turned toward the crater. "Then we find one. Even if we have to make it ourselves."

Scene 2: The Splitting of the Team
Marcus's drones projected a hologram of the Earth. Fault lines glowed bright red — tectonic plates splitting under intense energy. "The core is collapsing. If it destabilizes completely, the planet will implode."
Ethan nodded grimly. "Then we split up."
Lydia & Kai → Contain the energy eruptions in the Pacific zone.
Marcus → Locate the energy conduit's origin.
Selene → Infiltrate Oblivion's energy field.
Ethan → Lead defense above ground and hold back atmospheric collapse.
Lydia frowned. "Splitting up got us killed last time."
Ethan smiled faintly. "Last time, we didn't know who we were. Now we do."
They touched fists—wind, fire, lightning, shadow, and light uniting for a single heartbeat—before scattering in different directions.

Scene 3: The Unknown Arrival
Far above the clouds, beyond the stratosphere, a ripple passed through space — a distortion like light bending around a hidden object.
And from that distortion, a figure emerged.
Tall, radiant, cloaked in fractal light that shimmered between realities. His voice was calm yet vast, echoing through space and mind alike.
> "So… the Cycle begins again. A mortal world touched by Oblivion's core energy. Interesting."
He extended his hand toward Earth. In his palm danced fragments of cosmic sigils—symbols that shifted between languages, timelines, and dimensions.
A whisper followed him through the void:
> "He is coming… the first of the Eternals Beyond."

Scene 4: The Fall of Oblivion's Core
Deep underground, Marcus finally reached the geothermal chamber. It wasn't lava anymore — it was pure energy, humming with power that defied physics. In the center floated a massive crystal-like heart pulsing with crimson light.
"This is it…" he whispered. "Oblivion's Core Link."
Suddenly, the villain's voice filled the chamber.
> "Curious little human. You've come to witness your planet's rebirth."
Oblivion Prime materialized as a projection of light and shadow, towering over Marcus.
> "When this core stabilizes, Earth will ascend — and with it, I shall merge with every particle of existence."
Marcus backed away, frantically typing into his console. "Not if I shut it down first."
> "You can't shut down evolution."
The ground split open.
A blinding explosion followed—Marcus barely escaped as the entire chamber imploded, sending shockwaves across the planet.

Scene 5: The Sky Burns
Ethan looked up, eyes widening. The stars themselves seemed to move. Lines of light connected them in geometric patterns — forming constellations that were alive.
Wind howled.
Fire roared.
Lightning cracked.
And shadows whispered warnings.
Lydia's voice came through the comms, panic rising. "Ethan—those lines in the sky—they're not stars. They're rifts!"
The sky split open.
A beam of cosmic energy descended from the heavens, striking the center of the crater. Oblivion Prime raised his arms, absorbing it, his body transforming once again.
> "Now… I ascend."
But just as the transformation began, a burst of white light sliced through the clouds. The cosmic figure — the Eternal Beyond — descended slowly, his eyes glowing with universes within them.
> "Enough, Oblivion. You reach for power you were never meant to touch."
Oblivion snarled. "You think you can stop me? I am the bridge!"
The sky rumbled as both beings stared each other down — one forged from mortal evolution, the other born of cosmic law.
The battle for the multiverse's first spark was about to begin.
