Unholy Fight
Thanos sipped on his drink through a straw, enjoying the taste of the cold, milky beverage as he sat comfortably on the rooftop of a building, observing the Stark Industries Building. His disguise, maintained by the Scarlet Amulet, made him look like an ordinary human. His gaze was filled with anticipation, as if waiting for something significant to unfold.
Next to him, Frank's squad, comprising the Spider Squad and the Power Squad, was also present. They wore civilian clothes, seated on chairs or couches, chatting and occasionally eating and drinking. Chloe, as usual, stayed close to the disguised Titan, enjoying the calm breeze that passed by, making her close her eyes in delight.
A little farther away but still within earshot, Frank had risen from his chair, leaving his beer on the table, and was choking Dave, known as "Shadow." Dave had previously met Ava, another member of Thanos' organization, and they had shared experiences due to the similarity of their powers. John, one of the Spider Squad members, looked up to Dave after witnessing his interaction with Ava and even sought dating advice from him. This, however, led to Frank choking Dave as he overheard some questionable advice being shared.
With the scene set, Thanos calmly said, "It begins," and sipped on his drink once more. Then, suddenly, an explosion went off. The fight between Stark and Stane, as seen in Iron Man 1, had begun. Thanos' squad watched the fight with great interest, their eyes glued to the spectacle taking place at the Stark Industries Building. As the battle unfolded, Thanos secretly took measures to minimize civilian casualties in the area. Killing for no reason was not his motto and he tried to remind himself of this fact by doing small actions like these.
Throughout the fight, Stane felt a strange pain all over his body, which only intensified as the battle progressed. He had no idea what was happening to him, and the sarcastic taunts from Stark didn't help. Desperate for a break, Stane tried to divert Stark's attention by hurling vehicles and other objects at civilians, giving him a chance to escape and recover from the mysterious pain.
Stane found a relatively secluded area to catch his breath and contemplate the source of his discomfort. However, before he could delve further into his thoughts, he heard a sinister voice: "Initializing Rebirth Project." At that moment, the pain became unbearable. Stane's body underwent a horrific transformation, with bones and flesh reforming into a grotesque, cocoon-like structure.
Hands and feet contorted and bent in unnatural positions, adorning the top of the cocoon as if they were horns of a demonic creature. Stane's head emerged from the cocoon, his face twisted in agony. He wished for death, and death came swiftly. The cocoon burst in a gory explosion, and from the wreckage emerged a monstrous creature, screeching as it cleaned the bits of flesh and gore from its body.
The creature, born from the darkness, quickly left the Iron Monger suit behind and disappeared into the night, heading towards a peculiar location. Thanos sensed the birth of this new life and smiled. He turned to Tilda, a woman wearing glasses, who was casually lying on a couch behind him.
"Your Rebirth Project is a success, Tilda."
He said, satisfaction evident in his voice. Tilda grinned and replied.
"Of course, I made it myself. Why would it fail?"
A new and tyrannical species had been born, the twisted creation of the most sinister minds Thanos had managed to gather. With this, he gained the potential to have a ruthless army at his command, serving him and him alone.
A devilish smile graced the Titan's face 's lips as he leaned back in his chair, his mind filled with dreams of immortality and the unstoppable force that he was building.
(This little novel officially reached 500 collections, me happy.
As a new writer, I didn't think my 2nd story would be this much known.
Anyway, thank you guys for your interest in this silly book of mine. Your passion motivates me even further.)
