Boo-Boos
His anger to the absolute extreme after journeying across the cosmos, hoping to sate his battle lust and hunger for the most honorable, deadliest fight, only to be thrown away as if he did not matter at all.
Pain and humiliation coursed through his veins as his eyes grew bloodshot with rage. The last thing he ever saw was the green-hooded warrior looking at him as he leaped into battle. Ready to land his mace onto his foe only to be thrown away by an invisible force jettisoning him through a green rectangular doorway…
"WHAT!??"
… but it shut faster than he could ever react the moment he even tried to push himself back through it by displacing the air behind him. He was now trapped in a free-fall. The atmosphere, the scent, and its appearance were nearly similar to the place that he once was, only that the clouds were far paler in color and the skies were not with their bluish tint.
Thokk helplessly fell through the clouds as the atmosphere slowly burned the tips of his fur. The speeds that he was cast in went higher and higher with each second while he angrily continued to roar in defiance at the cowardice of this world's supposed strongest champion. He had not heard of this 'Eidolon' that these locals hailed but given how widely they praised his prestige, he thought he had found his most worthy adversary to sate his lust for a worthy battle.
Yet the fool was a coward! A god's damned coward!
He had left their match with barely an interaction as his mere stare horribly burned Thokk's blood for how insignificant he seemed to the man. He wanted to break his bones, drink his blood, curse his bloodline to the fiery pits of hell for the atrocity he committed upon him, but he had no ability to do that for he was now coursing through the clouds, about to crash onto the ground with a earth-shattering blow.
He would hunt this man, make sure to battle him, and end him regardless if he posed a challenge, but for now… he needed to recuperate.
Rage was only useful if honed in the right direction.
He had to think, and comprehend his next action before-
BRWASH!
"ACK!"
"OOF!"
Thokk's body crashed against another as the impact and the speed of his own caused the two to scatter in opposite directions. Thokk lost hold of his axe as it sailed through the air along with the white blur from earlier. With his momentum now reduced and his trajectory wildly different than before he was then forced through a direction that led him to a collection of dilapidated and recently destroyed buildings on fire.
BRWAAAKKAASHHH!!!
His body sailed through the walls with barely any resistance as his body skidded multiple times before stopping finally when he smashed the butt of his mace onto the ground. Twenty or so buildings collapsed under their own weight in the aftermath as he heard the locals run in fear or succumb to the collateral damage of his unintentional burst of destruction.
It did not take long to recover from this momentary setback, however, as he graciously stood back up and shook off the last of the rubble and dust from his fur. He then huffed his chest and looked towards the sky. The scent of this world was suddenly different. There was more smoke… blood… and death. It was as if the peaceful nature of this world was suddenly flipped into something more chaotic. Belching smoke rose from the cityscape as far as his eyes could see…
Screams and various other panicking civilians being heard from his ears while a rumble, felt from even the distance he was in was felt.
Was time accelerated? In some cultures, beings had the possession of technologies greater than even his kind, but none of them had any hold with the inevitability that was time.
Where was he transported? Was he in this world's more conflict-ridden lands?
Did he get thrown into a wasteland for this 'Eidolon' to test his mettle before he could finally challenge him? Did the coward think he was an insignificant challenger? Did he-
"E-Excuse me… if you're here to help we need to leave this instant."
The voice belonged to a lithe female, oddly wearing the color pink as she sported a nearly shaved head while helping another civilian. Her eyes were cast with so much war-torn emotion and desperation that Thokk was momentarily reminded of the chaos within his own world before he ended them completely.
She looked worse for wear, rags cloaking her entire form while she was wounded in many parts of her body. Everybody behind her shared the same weary looks, even a set of machines that were pointing weapons at him.
It seemed like these people were very desperate and were running away from something…
But from what?
"Child… from what are you running from?" he said, his voice low enough to sound non-threatening but due to his biology and build it came out as subtly terrifying. The people behind the girl stepped back in wariness but she remained resolute.
"We're evacuating from the fighting… M-Mar- I mean, Invincible and Omni Man are being held back by the best of us..."
Almost as if on cue, the ground around them shook as an echo of a massive hit reverberated around them. The shockwave flew over everybody's shoulders as Thokk realized that something, with the strength of that nature was fighting in the direction these people were running from.
"Your champion, I presume… is this champion named Eidolon?" Thokk asked as the bloodlust began to ebb back into his form. Excitement littered his face as a grin manifested. That grin made the young woman frown in confusion.
"N-No… Immortal. He's… gotten stronger for some reason these last few days…" the girl said as if recalling a terrible memory as small murmurs behind him began to take root. The ground shook again as a faint scream from an almost inhuman sound emerged.
It only served to make Thokk further excited, his prepuce constricting underneath his trousers while the young woman reflexively reacted to the thundering battle happening away from them.
"Strong… how, Child? If this is a battle truly for the ages, then my participation might buy you all the time to escape." He offered as she looked at him, narrowing her eyes.
"W-What?"
"Speak now, child… while the battle is still far away from us." He reiterated as another rumble was felt.
"I… I don't know a few days ago he could barely battle Omni Man and Invincible but he suddenly got powers… something I can't understand myself, h-he just became stronger the more he fought like a-
"I'LL KILL YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! MURDERERS! FIENDS! INVADERS!!!"
An inhuman roar was heard with such intensity that it shattered the glass of the nearby broken buildings while the people around Thokk covered their ears both in fear and pain from its volume.
"I'LL KILL YOU ALLLL!!!"
Thokk smiled as he placed his mace on his shoulder, having decided. He would not have Eidolon for now, but hearing and understanding what this 'Immortal' was, he was now lusting for the ability to best them or die trying so that he could finally face the monster that brought him to this hell.
Yes… Thokk was pleased.
Perhaps this world was his dream incarnate.
"Leave… quickly, Child. Run fast as your legs can take you for I will go into battle with glee in my heart." He said as he bared his maw with all his teeth clear to everybody's eyes. Without further ado, he leaped into the air, bursting the ground from all the strength in his legs as he was launched forward, gripping his mace tightly as he proceeded to move towards the battle in haste.
Landing across the tops of multiple buildings, he finally saw a glimpse of the battle.
"ACK!!!"
BRWOUM!!!
Dust and debris were kicked up high into the air like a massive explosion as an individual was thrown into the maw of a horrendously large crater while buildings and various other structures around them crumbled into nothing.
There, in the center was a heavily wounded blue and yellow-clothed teen who was bloodied to an extreme degree as a dark, heavy shadow loomed over his wake.
"Ugh… D-Dad I… n-need help." He pleaded as Thokk saw it.
"MURDERERS!!! FIENDS! ENEMIES! DIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
It was barely a lifeform in appearance. Skin almost blackened and in various states of disrepair and toughness that eclipsed even the worst looking lifeforms he had seen in the Cosmos. Multiple arms, or digits of various kinds ranging from fingers, legs, or even a horrible amalgamation of both littered their form like an abomination of the worst of imaginations…
Eyes, red and white littered its appendages, and multiple heads sprang from its back while hair, fur, and various other extremities seemingly blended into a crooked entity that looked in pain and in absolute rage over its existence.
Teeth and maws littered its form as its arms, numbering in the half of a hundred or so raised up in quick succession as the conjoined heads, numbering more than thirty howled in unison.
Its rhythm sounded like the symphony of the damned.
"YOU AND YOUR FATHER! OMNI-MAN DIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
The teen was in no position to escape nor defend himself as those arms ranging from muscly to lanky across many forms and appendages came down upon him like a storm of unbridled pain.
BRWOUM! BRWOUM! BRWOUM! BRWOUM! BRWOUM!
It was a ferocious fury of attacks that varied in speed until the abomination picked up the teen and with its unified appendages threw him around, making him crash multiple structures and buildings before raising him high into the air again, helplessly and throwing him back down to the ground with supreme force.
BRWOUUUUUUSHHHHH!!!
It was like one of those powerful, high-precision bombs had ripped the surface clean as Thokk watched with glee.
The abomination then threw the teen away and whether he was still alive or dead to Thokk it did not matter, he folded his feet and leaped high into the air.
Mace in hand and at speeds that were slightly imperceptible even to the abomination, he slammed his weapon forward down to the center of the abomination's mass.
BRWOUUUSHHLLLKK!!!
A thundering roar of debris and dust was thrown high up into the atmosphere as blood and various extremities bathed Thokk.
He had squashed and destroyed multiple heads and appendages in one blow…
"HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAAHHA!!!"
Yet before he could celebrate further, the created gash of blood from the abomination burst outward as multiple freshly wet and mucous-lined arms burst from the body as it rapidly knitted itself back again while creating a carapace to cover the place where an injury was once placed.
The appendages grabbed Thokk with a surprising amount of strength and slammed him into the ground, holding him still.
BRWOUSH!
"HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA" Thokk continued to laugh as the abomination's eyes looked at him.
"WHO ARE YOU???!!! FIEND? BETRAYER? OMNI-MAN??!!!"
It roared in its face while Thokk roared back.
He then bit the appendages holding him down, ripping them to free him from the abomination's grasp, and folded both his legs to deliver a devastating, brutal kick at his enemy to force him away.
BRAACSKKKHHLL!!!
The abomination, greater in size he was compared to Thokk exploded away from him as he stood up and wiped the trickle of blood from his lips. The enemy was great, still far from his most difficult challenge but given that it grew stronger with each engagement…
"FIEND!!! DIEEEEEEEE!!!" it screamed as it barreled towards him.
…then Thokk smiled with pure utter joy knowing that this would be one of the most memorable fights that his long life had ever experienced thus far and once he beat this, he could face Eidolon on even ground.
"COME AT ME!" he screamed as he raised his mace again and barreled towards his enemy too.
Their embrace of death would shatter and remake the world a dozen times over in the span of weeks.
"Taylor… why are you hugging me?" Mark asked her as she only proceeded to embrace him further.
Mark blushed red from the gesture as he smiled.
He put an arm around her as well, tucking her close.
"It was just a small boo-boo Tay… Mom said it'll heal right up!"
She responded by humming, but not in agreement.
He then chuckled at her response as he leaned his head against hers.
"Don't you worry about me! I'm big and strong now, remember? I can fly and shoot… uh, beams! I'll be the strongest hero for you and the world and I'll be able to protect everyone without issue." He promised as she hummed again.
He then rubbed her back to calm her down.
"I won't be hurt again… I promise you that, just so I can see you smile, okay?"
He then felt her relax, a small smile appearing on her face.
They then separated for a moment until Mark took her hand.
"You have to promise me something though…"
She tilted her head at him to his words, undoubtedly curious.
"…that you won't put yourself in danger… like, ever, okay? I'm big and strong with powers, but you're just… you. My best friend. I don't want my best friend to be hurt." He kindly said as she slowly formed a smile on her precious face.
To his surprise, she poked his nose with her finger before she giggled.
Mark followed suit after the girl finally decided that her 'Coruscant Knave' would not share the fate of all the various terrible outcomes of his future in this timeline. She was sure of it.
She would make them both smile…
"Dork…" he teased.
… so that they could learn more [DATA].
"Everybody ready?" Cecil Stedman said as he looked at some members of the Guardians of the Globe present for this very important meeting. The Immortal, Dark Wing and War Woman stood near them as questions still plagued their minds.
"I have no question of their good deeds, Cecil, but I have to admit this is excessive." Immortal asked, his concerns clear on his face as his comrades agreed.
"Are we all truly that paranoid to snoop into their privacy like this?" War Woman said as Cecil glanced and reacted to her question.
"A trio of nobodies with powers beyond our scope is something worth badgering privacies for, War Woman. Regardless of the good they represent. You of all people know that the world doesn't work on black and white and I'm keen to make sure our new friends are actually on our side."
"I have no doubts that they are, but why us? Omni-Man being here would be secure enough to keep talks stable." Dark Wing suggested as Cecil sighed.
"He's off to Space, saying that he had an errand… I don't have the details, but he won't be back in a few weeks." His words surprised the trio and they were about to expand the conversation further until Donald tapped his shoulder when out of nowhere, within the confines of their secure GDA facility, a door was opened in reality with a slightly green tint.
It was dark at first until a figure stepped out… revealing a familiar woman in a helmeted gray costume and cape sporting a neutral expression on her lips.
"Greetings… we've been expecting you all."
AN: Ah, at least ol' Crawler's powers are now used for good in an alternate timeline.
