Prologue 1
Thanos
Fan Fiction by David Vincent
Deep within a cavernous part of a dark, unknown universe stands a large cloaked being with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into what looks like a waterfall with images on it. As this 6'7" 985 pound being looks into his water-mirror with glowing red eyes, he sees a place unlike anything he has ever seen before. A setting of what looks like Edo Period Japan plays out in front of him. The being who looks upon this mysterious place is Thanos. The mad titan is a being of immense power; that is feared throughout the known universes. He smiles at his discovery and thinks to himself; ah what wonderful place is this? A place with an untold number of souls to which I could give unto my Mistress Death! I need to convince her to send me to this world so I can crush it. She will be most pleased and I will certainly gain her favor. None shall stand in my way and I will be all powerful! He ponders this for a moment before turning and heading to find his would-be consort. He soon finds her in her grand chamber, clothed in an elegant cocktail dress with high slits that go all the way up to her hips. She looks at him with feigned interest.
Death: 'What is it that you seek, Thanos of Titan?'
Thanos: 'My Lady Death, I come seeking you assistance in moving between worlds. There is a place I have discovered that will give you as many souls as you desire! I will gather these souls and bring them back to you and you will be even more feared than you are now, my Queen.'
Death: 'Do not presume to know what I want eternal; however.'
This form of Death, for it can be anything it chooses, looks down at the tyrannical mad man with the slightest hint of curiosity. She ponders his request for a moment and finally answers him.
Death: 'Very well. You shall have my help eternal, but be warned; if this displeases me in anyway, I will have no choice but permanently banish you from my side for all eternity!'
Thanos: 'Thank you very much my Lady. This will please you greatly and there is no way a can possibly fail in my quest to win your favor!'
Death: 'See that you do not.'
With that he leaves her presence to make preparations for his trip to this new universe.
