Eonia (1)

A terrible headache, enough to make me want to die, woke me up.

For a moment, I thought I was having a stroke, and perhaps I was right because what I saw before me the moment I opened my eyes could not have been real. It could only be a hallucination.

I found myself laying on top of some sort of Skyscraper made of metal with smoke coming out of it, my body covered in blood from head to toe, the stench of blood so strong I nearly threw up; And the city I could see, or what used to be one, on fire.

Screams of grief and pain could be heard in the distance as I looked at the destroyed city, shattered buildings, crushed structures, and even cracked mountains in the distance, with blood and body parts everywhere. I somehow could see it all, and the twin stars in the sky made sure I realize I was not on Earth.

"This must be a dream... right?!" The pain in my head made sure I understand it was not.

With countless questions in my mind, I tried to stand up only to lose my balance and sit down quickly, nearly losing my footing and falling from the skyscraper.

I brought my hands to the back of my head only to tremble from piercing pain as my fingers touched what appeared to be a grave injury in the back of my head.

"My head is broken for sure... Wait a moment!" I realized some things and froze.

A head injury, another world, and I was probably in another body even though I could not tell for sure as I was covered in blood, "I transmigrated?!"

All things led to that, and I was not happy. I loved reading stories and such about people that got transported to another world, were reborn, or transmigrated, but the same happening to me? I never imagined it, nor dared want it, because realistically, the person should not survive at all.

And life will always find a way to screw us, there is no way something so good could exist, if it does, it is not so good and one should look for hidden things.

Panic and nervousness aside, I tried to remember memories of this body to no avail; Looking at the destroyed sci-fi city and lightly touching my injury, I sighed...

My odds of surviving had just dropped significantly, I couldn't even stand up and there was no medical help in sight. But at least, whatever had caused the destruction was gone.

Just as I thought it couldn't get any worse, a heard a sonic boom in the distance, looking at the direction of the sound quickly, my eyes widened in shock.

Two people flew at incredible speeds superman style, one chasing the other, the one in the front had a white skin-tight uniform and the one in the back wore a black one with an added cape. I ignored how I could see so far away so perfectly, at the moment, I was too stunned to think properly, the injury did not help either.

They noticed me and the one in the front changed direction instantly, coming at me.

"Shit!" I cursed and tried to stand up and run away, I did not want to find out what would happen to me if they reached me.

Unfortunately, the damn injury had messed up my balance too much, the world began to spin around me when I stood up; I had to sit down again and watch with despair as they reached me in a manner of seconds from very far away, moving at supersonic speeds.

When they got closer, I saw them more clearly, the one in white was a woman, the one that chased her was a man and his eyes glowed red, and suddenly, two red beams were shot out of his eyes in my direction.

My heart nearly stopped, and I managed to barely move to the left as the red laser cut everything clean in half, if I had hesitated for a single moment, I would have been in two pieces.

"I am so dead..." I whispered to myself, nearly peeing my pants.

"Triton, can you fight?" The woman said as she landed beside me.

From her tone, it was obvious she knew the owner of the body before me, it gave me hope, if she defended me, I could survive. At the same time I felt trepidation in my heart, 'Do I also have these powers? That could be the only reason she would want me to fight that guy...'

Memorizing my new name, I decided to put aside all emotions and logically think and try to survive.

"Viltrumites, you have lost the war in this sector, if you surrender to the Kryptonian empire, I can spare your lives." The man floated and said calmly, my eyes focused on him, seeing a familiar symbol on his chest.

'Kryptonian?! Viltrumite?! Those two don't exist in the same universe... Wait... He referred to us as Viltrumites, which means I am a Viltrumite. Everything leads to that conclusion, and from the tone, the two races are at a war of sorts.'

My train of thought was interrupted by the female Viltrumite beside me, she said in anger, "I would rather die than be your prisoner. If Voltigen had not betrayed us, the yellow stars would have been destroyed long ago, what are you without yellow stars? Ants to be crushed under our empire. Don't get arrogant."

I gulped as I processed the information, that was such a Viltrumite thing to do, destroying all yellow stars in a galaxy just to get the edge in a war. I didn't know if I was supposed to feel good or bad about it, I was in a predicament at the moment.

"You slaughtered 2 billion innocents... Die." The man coldly replied and flew toward the female Viltrumite so fast I could barely see a blur.

The next thing I knew, I was blown away by an irresistible force and blacked out.
