Chapter 26: Cosmic Clash: The Battle Within

Chapter 26: Cosmic Clash: The Battle Within

Zoom, also known as Hunter Zolomon, lies in his hideout, recovering from the burns he received from his fight with Myles. The burns were severe, and they cover most of his body. They sting with every breath he takes, and his movements are restricted due to the pain.

As he lies there, his thoughts drift to Myles and his bizarre power. He cannot wrap his head around it. How can someone have so much power? And the way he used it, it was as if he was born with it. Hunter knows that Myles is dangerous, and he needs to be stopped.

Suddenly, Hunter remembers the moment when he got closer to Myles during their fight. He noticed that he had slowed down, and it was as if Myles had somehow made him slower. It was something he had never experienced before, and it left him confused and frustrated.

Hunter thinks about Myles' speedforce and how it felt erratic and uneasy. It was as if Myles had no control over it, yet it was still incredibly powerful. Hunter smiles to himself, knowing that this is an opportunity. If he can take away all of Myles' power for himself, he will be unstoppable. He can cause as much destruction as he wants without anyone being able to stop him.

Despite his injuries, Hunter is excited at the prospect of taking on Myles again. He knows that it won't be easy, but he is confident that he can do it. Myles may be powerful, but he is still just a kid, and Hunter is a seasoned veteran.

Hunter closes his eyes and lets out a deep sigh. He knows that he needs to rest and recover, but his mind is already consumed with thoughts of Myles and his power. He can feel his heart rate increase as he thinks about the fight that is to come.

Harrison Wells sat in his lab, watching Myles' recorded battles on his computer screen. He had been studying Myles' power for weeks, but he had never seen anything like it. There was an unpredictability to Myles' energy residues that he couldn't quite grasp. Every time Myles used his super speed, it was as if he was tapping into an unstable, unknown source of energy.

Harrison had collected samples from Myles' previous battles and was now analyzing them under a microscope. The energy residues were pulsating erratically, almost as if they were alive. Harrison carefully placed a vial of the residue that had been laced with Myles' lightning into a device he had constructed. As he activated the device, he felt a tremor in the lab, and the machine began to shake violently.

Harrison tried to shut down the machine, but it was too late. The device exploded, sending Harrison flying out of his office and into the hallway. He lay there for a moment, dazed and disoriented, before getting back to his feet. As he looked back into his lab, he saw that it had been destroyed in the explosion.

Harrison knew that he had just witnessed something incredible. The energy residues that Myles left behind were unstable and unpredictable, and he had no idea what kind of power Myles was tapping into. He knew that he needed to continue studying Myles and his power, but he also knew that he needed to be careful. The power that Myles possessed was unlike anything he had ever seen, and it was clear that there was still much he didn't understand.

Jesse ran into her father's lab, her heart pounding with worry. She looked around and saw the destruction, with debris and broken equipment scattered across the room. "Dad, what happened here?" she asked, her voice shaking with concern.

Harrison looked up from his work, his face grim. "I was studying Myles' energy residue, and one of the samples was unstable. It caused an explosion," he explained.

Jesse's eyes widened in shock. "Is Myles okay? Is he hurt?" she asked, her worry growing.

Harrison shook his head. "I don't know. But I'm starting to think that he's sick," he said, a note of concern in his voice.

Jesse's heart sank at the news. She had developed feelings for Myles, and the thought of him being sick made her feel sick too. "What do you mean, sick? Is it something serious?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Harrison sighed. "I don't know yet. But I've been studying his energy residues from his battles, and they're unstable. There's something wrong with him," he said, his voice filled with worry.

Jesse's mind raced as she thought about Myles. She couldn't bear the thought of him being sick, especially since he had been enjoying his vacation so much. "We have to find him and make sure he's okay," she said firmly, determined to help her crush in any way she could.

Myles lay on the massage table, his eyes closed as the masseuse worked on his muscles. He felt relaxed and content, almost forgetting that he was a superhero. But then, as he felt his body slowly loosen, a nagging thought crept into his mind. It was time for him to return to Earth-1. He let out a sigh, realizing how much he had come to enjoy his vacation on Earth-2.

As he drifted off to sleep, his mind filled with images of Earth-2, of the beautiful landscapes and people he had met. But then, his dream took a dark turn. He felt trapped, like he was being hunted down by something that he couldn't see. His heart raced as he tried to escape, but it was futile. Suddenly, something grabbed him by the neck, and he woke up gasping for air, covered in sweat.

He sat up on the table, looking around the massage parlor. Everything seemed normal, but he couldn't shake the feeling of dread. He got dressed and left, not noticing the disintegrating remains of the masseuse in the corner of the room. As he walked out onto the street, he couldn't help but feel like he was being watched. Myles knew he had to return to Earth-1 soon, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was waiting for him there.

Myles suddenly came to a stop, and his expression became one of confusion. He furrowed his brow and shook his head as if trying to clear a fog that had settled over his mind. He couldn't understand why he had this sudden urge to help Barry, to protect him from danger, and ensure his safety.

Myles asked himself, "Why do I want to help him? It's illogical. I'm trying to be a villain. I should be doing everything in my power to stop him from becoming too powerful. I mean I'm big fan of him but..."

He tried to remember the reason behind his initial plan, but his thoughts were muddled, and his head began to ache. The pain was intense, and he felt like his brain was splitting into two.

As he tried to focus, he felt like his mind was being invaded by someone else's thoughts. Myles felt like he was losing control of his own mind, and it was terrifying. He wondered if Zoom had done something to him during their fight.

Myles kept trying to remember his reason for helping Barry when they should be enemies, but he couldn't find the answer. He questioned why he wanted to be friends with the Flash, but all those reasons seemed hollow like they were not his own.

The confusion and pain overwhelmed him, and Myles began to feel like he was losing himself. He stumbled backward, trying to regain his balance, and wondered if he was going insane.

Myles continued his stroll, his mind still preoccupied with his earlier thoughts. He felt a sense of frustration and unease gnawing at him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on the source of his discomfort. Suddenly, his eyes began to glow, changing from their usual orange hue to black and white for a brief second before returning to normal.

Shaking his head, Myles tried to clear his thoughts and refocus. He wondered what he was thinking about before his strange momentary lapse in concentration. But the more he tried to remember, the more elusive the thoughts became.

Myles felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, and when he pulled it out, he saw that it was a call from Harrison. He pressed the answer button and said, "Hey, Harrison, what's up?"

"Myles, I need you to come back to STAR Labs immediately," Harrison said urgently. "We need to talk about your power. It's become unstable, and we need to figure out how to stabilize it before it's too late."

Myles hesitated for a moment, wondering why his power would suddenly become unstable, but he nodded his agreement. "Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can."

He rushed back to STAR Labs and found Harrison and Jesse waiting for him. They led him to the lab, where they showed him the readings of his energy output.

"Myles, these readings are off the charts, and not in a good way," Jesse said, looking at him with concern.

Myles shook his head. "I feel fine. I don't feel like there's anything wrong with me."

"That's because your subconscious mind is suppressing the symptoms," Harrison said. "But we can't let this go on any longer. We need to find a way to stabilize your power before it causes irreversible damage to your body."

Myles crossed his arms, feeling frustrated and uneasy. He couldn't understand why he was feeling this way, and it was starting to irritate him. "I don't understand why this is happening. I've been fine up until now."

Harrison sighed. "Myles, you don't understand the danger you're in. Your power could kill you if we don't find a way to stabilize it. You need to take this seriously."

Myles shook his head, feeling defensive. "I am taking this seriously. I just don't see why I should be worried when I feel fine."

As they continued to talk, Myles' eyes suddenly glowed from orange to black and white for a second before returning to normal. He blinked in confusion, wondering what had just happened.

"What was that?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.

Harrison and Jesse exchanged a worried glance. "That's what we're trying to figure out," Harrison said gravely. "We need to find out what's causing these fluctuations in your power, or it could be disastrous."

Myles felt a sudden headache and tried to remember why he wanted to help Barry, but the memory slipped away from him like sand through his fingers. He shook his head, feeling frustrated and uneasy about something he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"I don't know what's happening to me," he said, his voice tinged with worry. "But I don't like it.""

The Speedforce was in chaos. Cosmic energies clashed and collided within it as the Speedforce fought to retain control over Myles. But the Primalforce was slowly retaking its hold, inch by inch, overpowering the Speedforce's grasp over Myles' powers. The Speedforce could sense the Primalforce's burning desire to break free from its prison, and it knew that Myles was the key to unleashing it upon the multiverse.

The Speedforce had never felt such a raw, primal power before. It was a realm of infinities among infinities, a realm of black and white that seemed to stretch out forever. It was raw and untamed, like a raging storm of power that could not be contained. The Speedforce knew that it was a force to be reckoned with, a primal energy that was ancient and beyond human comprehension. But it was also fixing Myles, fixing his once-unstable powers with its own primal energy.

The Speedforce fought against the Primalforce with all its might, but it could feel itself losing ground. The Primalforce was stronger, and it seemed to be getting stronger with each passing moment. The Speedforce knew that it had to find a way to stop it, or else it would be too late.

But then, the Speedforce had an idea. It reached out to the Primalforce, trying to communicate with it, to reason with it. But the Primalforce only roared in rage, refusing to listen to reason. It wanted to be free, to run wild and free across the multiverse.

The Speedforce knew that it had to act fast. It could feel the Primalforce's power growing stronger by the second, and it knew that if it didn't do something soon, Myles would be lost forever.

The two cosmic energies clashed head-on, battling for dominance over Myles' powers. It was a battle of titans, a battle that would determine the fate of the multiverse. The Speedforce could feel itself getting weaker, its grip on Myles' powers slipping away. It knew that it had to give everything it had to win this fight.

The battle raged on, a never-ending cycle of power and control. The Speedforce felt like it was running out of time, like it was fighting a battle that it could not win. It knew that it had to find a way to break free from the Primalforce's hold or risk losing Myles forever.

The clash of the two cosmic energies was intense, with each force fighting for dominance over Myles. The tension was palpable as the battle raged on, and it was unclear which side would emerge victorious. As the forces clashed head-on, Myles was caught in the middle, a mere vessel for their battle.

As the Primalforce battled against the Speedforce and the cosmic energies clashed, the Sageforce, the Strength Force, and the Stillforce all sensed the disturbance. They began to take an interest in Myles, drawn to his potential for power. The Sageforce, with its ability to perceive and manipulate life force, felt a primal energy in Myles that it had never felt before, and it sensed that the Primalforce was the source of this raw power. The Strength Force, with its ability to grant immense physical strength, felt a primal rage in Myles that it had only sensed in the most ferocious of beasts. And the Stillforce, with its power to slow time and halt motion, felt a primal stillness in Myles that it had only felt in the most ancient of rocks.

Each force noticed that the Primalforce had traits and powers similar to their own, but its essence was raw and untamed. It was as if the Primalforce was the embodiment of their primal roots, drawing them in with its mere presence. They were all intrigued by this primal force, but also wary of its immense power. They could feel its pull on them, as if it demanded their absolute attention. And Myles, still unaware of the cosmic battle raging within him, was the epicenter of this primal storm.
