Hey everyone. I know I have not updated any of fanfic in a while but, I wanted to write something and this was stuck in my brain. I would love some feedback. I am also gonna try to write my fic more. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT.
What came from the muck was no longer a man. Skin a pitch-black as if it was midnight. White burning eyes with no pupils and teeth now a sharpen row of fangs. He still gripped onto the elder creature holding him as he dragged his body from the cauldron. Steam was rolling off his body as the other minions stepped backward in fear his shadow casting down upon them as he let out a snarl.
His form giving out as his grip loosened as he smashed against the stone bridge his body had grown several feet now a hulking form of muscle. The Elder Minion coughed as he regained his footing rubbing his neck but, quickly pointing at this thing that had dragged itself out of the cauldron.
"BRING HIM TO THE CHAMBER OF THE OVERLORD QUICKLY. HE MUST NOT DIE!!" Shouting this as the Minions hoarded around him grabbing at his limbs as they were led by the elder up a spiral staircase of obsidian.
They brought him to a chamber with a single pedestal in the center. Upon the top of the pedestal was….a gauntlet. An iron gauntlet with a large gemstone in the middle of it. The minions threw the hulking thing in front of the pedestal.
"Sire! Stay with us. I am Gnarl. I am the eldest of the minions. We, Minions, are of a currently dying breed. Designed to follow a leader that will bring a great shadow upon the land. We have waited so very long for you sire! Yet, you're still incomplete. You must dawn the gauntlet yourself we cannot touch it. Your current.....form, cannot handle the chaos energy that has been gifted to you by the cauldron. Without the gauntlet, you will die! QUICKLY SIRE. Think of what they have done to you….let the hatred FLOW." Rubbing his hands together as he watched what the other would do.
His vision was blurry unable to focus. Pain racking his whole body yet his eyes did focus on something. The locket in his hand. The flames within burned deep as he clawed at the pedestal before him, dragging himself towards the gauntlet.
"YES! YESSSSS!" Gnarl cheered.
Reaching towards the gem of the gauntlet, it began to glow. Pulling itself apart the gauntlet began to fuse to his right arm. Green lightning surge throughout his body. A hellish scream of pain was unleashed from his maw. As an iron-like metal began to form around his whole body in a massive suit. Searing to his flesh. A cape shooting out of his back as his screams didn't end.
"FINALLY! YES! AN OVERLORD IS BORN!" Gnarl shouted as a burst of green energy exploded from this new Overlord. The magical wave carried outward throughout the Netherworld to the surface…
At the same time, somewhere in the heart of Wakanda (Africa)...
A secret meeting of the world's greatest minds known as the Illuminati. A secret group of men who helped guide the world towards a better future. A goal they had mostly completed at this point and time. The group is made up of, Charles Xavier (A powerful Mutant who wishes for his kind to co-exist with humans), Tony Stark (Well-known hero, brilliant scientist and wisecracker), Dr. Strange (Former Doctor turned Sorcerer Supreme) Reed Richards (brilliant scientist and leader of the Fantastic Four) and T'Challa (AKA Black Panther, King and Protector of Wakanda)
"I think that wraps up today's meeting gentlemen." Strange spoke to the round table shuffling his papers together.
"Whelp given how things have been going we may be able to stop our little monthly boy's club meetings." Tony stated, leaning back in his chair.
"I may have to agree with Stark for once in my life." T'Challa added arching an eyebrow at the millionaire.
"Gentlemen peace is an easy thing to lose. We must stay on guard." Xavier commented pulling his hoverchair from the table.
"He's right you know. We have no idea where the next threat could come from." Strange said leaning against the table looking through his notes.
"Come on guys. We won. Can we just ya know enjoy it for once? Ms. Marvel is handling any outer world threats. We have thousands of heroes now working the streets. Even the leagues of evil being rooted out as we speak by Cap. What could possibly go wrong now?" Stating these words boldly as if he was challenging fate.
The wave would wash over the room. Strange held his head almost falling onto the table. The pull of the magical force that was release was massive. Xavier held his skull in pain gritting his teeth as he felt what emotion was released with this wave of energy.
"….Such….such RAGE." Xavier explained holding his skull, a cold sweat upon his brow.
Strange turned to Tony out of breath. "You had to open your mouth didn't you?"
Meanwhile after an intense United Nations Meeting...
Twilight Sparkle (The Princess of Friendship), Celestia (The Princess of Sun) and Luna (The Princess of The Moon) had just walked out into an empty hall heading back to their Kingdom of Equestria. Twilight's head hung low and bags had formed under her eyes. Sleep was not something she had been able to find lately.
Celestia stopped in her tracks with Luna already down the steps. Celestia turned to Twilight raising her hand to her chin lifting it upwards. Twilight's eyes were met with a warm smile.
"I can take that memory from your mind if you wish. This is not your burden to bear. I did what I felt was best for the world. That is not something that comes without a cost." Explaining this to her student again at this point she had said it a lot after that fated day.
Twilight's eyes swelled up again at the thought of that day but, she quickly wiped the tears away. "I know…I don't blame you. I just…wish there had been another way...I just wish there could've been some other way ." She whimpered this out.
Celestia hand rose to her student's cheek caressing it. "Ease your mind. We will be home soon. You can spend some time with the girls and it will dull the pain. You may not be able to forget or even accept what happened but, the pain will grow less by each passing day." Smiling at her.
Twilight smiled back at her finally as the wave hit them as well. Green sparks surged from their horns as pain pulsed through the three Alicorn's bodies. They fell to their knees.
"W-what is this!" Twilight screamed.
"DARK MAGIC. SUCH POWERFUL DARK MAGIC." Luna cried
"IMPOSSIBLE. HOW? WHO?" Celestia held her horn before her eyes flashed yellow for a moment.
A pulse of divine radiance banished the dark magic gripping them. Sharp breaths fell from Celestia's lungs as she looked around seeing no one. Only feeling that deep hatred that came from the magical pulse. Both Luna and Twilight looked towards Celestia. She was searching for an answer she didn't have.
Finally standing upwards looking down at Luna. "Sister go back home. Prepare our forces." She turned to Twilight.
"Twilight get the girls and the elements of harmony, we may need them." She commanded.
Struggling to find her feet Twilight held one of her arms in pain. "What was that?" She asked looking frighten by what she had just felt.
"I don't know…I have not felt such darkness in Eons….." There was another pause from her. "I have to warn the heroes and those in power. Please hurry…I fear the worst is upon us." She uttered quickly rushing off leaving her Student and Sister to care for things.
She had underestimated something. Something important.
EVIL ALWAYS FINDS A WAY.
