[▪︎City Of Thraxa, Thraxa▪︎]

Satisfied and relieved from my words, Invincible and Omni-man start discussing some plans as I raise the purple-skinned baby above my head, making him excited as he giggles sonorously.

Suddenly, I feel something akin to a wave wash over me and disappear the next instant. With a faint frown on my face, I turn my head to the right side.

What is that? I've had this feeling before. This is the same feeling I sensed when I first laid my eyes on the destroyed universe. Hmm, something's wrong and I have a feeling I won't like it one bit...

Is it from this planet?

The next moment, I spread my senses to their maximum and it envelops half of the surface of this planet and the alien atmosphere above.

Skimming through the millions of different data and information running through my head, my frown deepens as I locate nothing out of the ordinary, and just as I retract it, some foreign people fall under my radar from the sky.

They are here. All Viltrumites have very bad timing...I'll deal with the foreign feeling later.

"Heads up guys, they are here and...they are a lot more than you predicted."

I turn my head to them and inform them grimly, shutting them up and immediately their eyes widen in shock and surprise.

The door burst open and inside comes a frantic old Thraxan in grey short robes.

"Sire! We have an emergency!"

The old Thraxan informs loudly, his face stricken in fear and horror.

<Boom! Boom!>

<Bang!>

Sounds of explosions and destruction echo all over the small room, coming from outside with diluted screams of terror and despair mixed within.

Hearing all this, Omni-man's face hardens as he grits his teeth and then turns to Andressa who stands to her feet.

"Andressa take the child and go to the caves! Mark will accompany you."

He barks out an order and immediately Andressa nods and comes beside me. I nod and hand the confused child to her despite his protest as the screams of death ring inside my ears.

"Caves? What caves? I just got here and you want me to a place I don't know? I thought you wanted me to help?"

Invincible asks in confusion as Andressa cradles the baby to her chest with an anxious look on her face.

"The situations changed Mark. For now, the main priority is keeping Andressa and your brother safe. The Viltrumites will attack her first and the child if they realize my attachment to them.

"They are attacking from the north and south side of the city so just keep her head low and stay on the ground and you'll be unseen. But leave and leave immediately, Prime, and I will meet you there then we can plan our attack."

Omni-man explains quickly as he opens one of the side doors of the room, revealing the outside expanse.

"Okay."

He nods and draws down his mask, lying at the back of his neck to cover his face.

"Please do my son, I'm counting on you."

The corners of Omni-man's lips raise into a faint smile as Andressa moves to the door.

"Come, Mark, I'll guide you to the place."

Andressa inputs softly and with a nod, Invincible flashes out of the room with Andressa and the baby in tow.

"There are currently six Viltrumites wreaking havoc in this city. What's the plan?"

I ask as I mentally tag the speeding Invincible and his cargo in my real-time mental map of the entire city.

He doesn't respond but continues to look out of the door, seemingly looking out or keeping track Invincible, his rugged face marred with intense worry and fear.

Shaking my head at the sight of this, something pops up on my map. One of the Viltrumites is tailing Invincible secretly.

Now, this is a problem. I'm not exactly done with this family so I can't let someone deal with them...just yet.

"There's a Viltrumite following Mark and Co."

I reveal and he sharply turns to look at me with fear in his eyes.

"If you go now, you'll catch up before anything happens. I'll deal with the situation here in the meantime."

I turn and continue calmly. He looks at me for a few seconds and then nods grimly.

"I'll leave it to you then. I'll be back to support you the moment their position is secured..."

Omni-man starts hovering and moves out of the room but suddenly he stops and turns his head to my position.

"....Thank you Prime. I'll forever be in your debt."

Omni-man whispers and then zooms out of the place with a large whoosh.

I'll be counting on that Nolan Grayson...

With a dark smile adorning my charming face, I tilt my head to the left and to the right and after feeling comfortable, I disappear from my position with a thought.

Appearing instantly in the air, I cock an eyebrow as a gentle breeze blows over me, filling my nostril with the distinct scent of death and blood as I observe the destruction below.

The curved and ring-like houses and the majestic geometric structures that rose to touch the sky and dotted the entirety of the city landscape are now in utter ruins. Gigantic rubbles now fill the place.

Corpses, piles, and piles of corpses litter the surfaces of the structures and the ground with their viscous red blood dripping from the mangled bodies to the ground.

I have to hand it to the Viltrumites...they really do know how to make a scene...

Raising my head, I look as five male Viltrumites in their adult years descend from the sky with serious looks on their hard faces.

Dressed in white long-sleeved tunics of a very unique design adorned with special violet lines, ending at their waist, and white trousers with white knee-length boots covering their feet, they look very much like the scary Viltrumites other races tell their children in bedtime stories.

Their eyes, shining with immense pride fall on my figure and immediately it switches to disdain and arrogance.

"Who are you!? Speak now, before I give you the mercy of death..."

A dark-skinned burly Viltrumite draws forward and demands haughtily, his deep gritty voice brimming with distaste as he clenches one of his big fists as the rest just look on with disinterest.

...Oh well, I guess he dies first.

"Why don't you ask your mother? I'm sure she'll be happy to tell you about our history..."

I shrug and reply mockingly, a dirty smirk covering my face as the swimming clouds cover the sun, making the whole place grimmer as it darkens.

"You dare! Since you don't value your life, let me take it from you!"

He shouts angrily and then dashes towards me, a beastly look decorating his dark face.

Smiling darkly as he arrives in front of me in a second with his fingers aiming at my throat, I causally tilt my body and dodge the deadly strike.

"You see, one of the problems you Viltrumites have is that you don't know the best way to use your powers...especially your speed."

I slither close to him and whisper into his ear as my left-hand starts vibrating and the moment it turns blurry, the Viltrumite's eyes widen in shock and so he tries to pull back.

<Splash!>

But before he can do so, I bring the vibrating hand upwards and with one clean stroke, I chop off his entire arm from the root of his shoulder, making blood splash everywhere.

"Aaarghhh!"

He raises his head and howls in pain like a woman in travail, his eyes stretched beyond their limits as his arm falls to the ground.

Let the games begin...
