Cosmic Elite: Origin Story
In the North Atlantic Ocean around the afternoon of GMT on a private flight to Iceland with a well-known historian Jack Hart to find the truth about the lost treasures of the Kolskegg Hroarsson who conquered many villages and keep the greatest treasures taken from villages warriors, but one warrior which was a woman kept a crystal stone shaped as a dragon, in legend gave powers only to a worthy warrior of strength and will. When Kolskegg heard of this he invaded the village in possession of the crystal, but the crystal didn't do anything so he kept it safe so the worthy warrior would never find the crystal, the woman who had the crystal died protecting it and is said that she still protects it beyond death until the worthy warrior comes to claim the powers from the stone. While in the plane still hours away from Iceland Jack asks Anthony, "Hey Anthony what do you think Vikings were like in their day?", Anthony replies, "Well I have to say they were ignorant, headstrong, heavy drinkers, and fearsome warriors that didn't think first but only go berserk in fights Mr. Hart.", "Well said like a true historian should, please call me Jack."
Hours pass as Anthony and Jack drink and laugh about Vikings and hilarious stories in their lives how they got into their line of work, but Tony isn't a fan of alcohol so before take-off, the plane was stored with varieties of sodas, also because he's underage. "Thanks Jack for letting me take a load of sodas on the plane", "No problem but you know they load everything you can commonly drink at home like sodas, right?", Anthony has a minute to think about that and says, "Wait what…. oh, DAMN IT!", Jack laughs with a big smile, "BAWAHAHAHAA!", they land, later on, Anthony just walks to his bags and carriers them to the van scheduled to pick them up ignoring Jack laughing at him for another reason. They pack the van up with camera equipment and personal belongings, then travel to a cabin rented for three months, meeting them there is an explorer, Darwin Zimmer an expert on many languages, writing and everything explorer should know when exploring for lost legends, myths, and history timelines that are not complete. "Mr. Zimmer, it's good to finally meet you in person, after talking so much on the phone I couldn't wait to meet you in person.", Zimmer replies happily, "Good to know Mr. Hart, as well as I, couldn't too, now shall we discuss to where we search for the crystal?", Jack adds, "Mr. Zimmer I like you to meet our cameraman that will be filming everything as we search for the crystal, Mr. Gonzalez.", "Oh yes I almost forgot that this will be a documentary, well it's good to meet you young man how old are you if you don't mind me asking" , Anthony response, "Not at all, well I'm 18 Mr. Zimmer" , Mr. Zimmer surprised says, "Amazing, you look much older than I thought, well anyway shall we begin searching for the crystal?" , "Yes we should Mr. Zimmer", Jack replies.
As Mr. Hart and Mr. Zimmer research with all their studies of the Vikings and villages invaded by Kolskegg Hroarsson, also his backstory, Anthony films, and interviews the both of them about themselves and thoughts about this search for the crystal. A few weeks later, they find a clue to where the crystal could have been hidden, they go to the possible location of the crystal. They grab their gear for that's necessary to find the crystal and the filming equipment, Anthony brings only simply equipment necessary, two cameras, microphone, GoPro, also lights. They get to the location to find a cavern with many tunnels, so they look around to see if Kolskegg left any clues for himself if ever forgot the way to his treasure, then Darwin finds a strange symbol and he translates it saying, " I glow in the dark. When I am young I am tall. When I am, old I am short.", "Hmm, well it sounds like it's a candle.", Anthony answers, Jack tells them, "Maybe the symbol of a candle is here somewhere and Anthony get your equipment setup to start filming.", "Alright Jack", Anthony replies. "Here's one!", Darwin says aloud, Jack says, "Well it seems that we must take this tunnel, perhaps there are more riddles if we find an another cluster of tunnels", "My thoughts exactly", Darwin replies. They walk through the tunnel finding nothing but then stop at a dead end, "Interesting, it seems as though someone would be trick in thinking that this would be a dead end but there's a rock that doesn't belong here because this an Iceland Spar, as you can see it's transparent so there must be a contraption under or clue in it. Darwin looks closely then finds that it is a button after he pushes it, the dead end opens a small doorway, "Whoa ok that's neat, didn't think Vikings were able to think of such epic contraption.", Anthony says wowed, "Me either, maybe they had genius builders of such." Jack agrees and reacts the same. They enter through the doorway and find a room big as a tennis court with nothing but plates on the floor and an another door possibly the treasure room, but before Anthony could walk around filming everything in the room Jack and Darwin stop him and say, "There's a good chance the room is booby-trapped!", Darwin says with a serious face and throws a rock at one of the plates on the floor then fire spits out of the plate, "I'm sorry I didn't realize, thank you for stopping me.", Anthony apologizes to the both of them and thanks them. They try to see if the plate that Darwin threw a rock would eventually stop but they couldn't waste time so they look for clues on how to get pass this trap but nothing came up so they packed up and went back to the cabin rest up because it was getting dark outside.
After eating breakfast and thinking about how to get pass that trap they remember that Kolskegg had a trusted ally with all the knowledge to defeating his oppositions and his secrets of all sorts, so they research him and his name was "Magnus Bardsson". Darwin reads the pattern that Magnus recorded for what it looks like the tennis size room, Darin tells Anthony and Jack that he has found the answer to getting through the trap, they go back to the dig site and find someone has been here recently. They tread carefully through the tunnel to the booby trap room and try looking out for the intruder, then they hear the fire from the booby trap room roaring as they get closer, then they see the intruder trying to figure out how to get through this trap. Jack yells at the masked intruder, "HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!", the masked intruder is surprised and takes out a sword, then charges at Jack, Anthony, and Darwin yelling, "AHHH!" , but Anthony charges at the intruder and jumps into a forward kicking position knocking down the intruder and weapon out of their hand sliding away onto one of the plates, but it doesn't spit fire out, strange indeed. Jack and Darwin run to Anthony and the intruder, then hold down this masked intruder trying to get to the treasure. "Who are you?!", Darwin asking angrily, "Please! I'm sorry I was trying to scare you away! Don't hurt me!", Jack unmasking the intruder, turns out to be a young British woman. Anthony tells her, "Look we aren't going to hurt just tell us who you are and why you're here?", Jack and Darwin pick her up and tie her up with rope Jack brought just in case when exploring for the treasure. Everyone is calm down and Anthony asks again, "Why are you here and who are you?", She answers, "I'm not telling you my but isn't obvious? I'm here for the stone crystal.", Jack says not surprised, "Figure that part out already.", Darwin asks, "Don't tell you to believe in the legend of the stone crystal?", She nods her head and saying, "Yes and that power will help me stop all those terrorist attacks in England.", Anthony tells to the girl, "Right did you forget the part where you have to be a worthy warrior and what I see is girl that's ignorant and headstrong which doesn't really care what I'm saying right.", "Nope, don't really care about that but I'm sure that I am worthy.". So they keep her tied up and figure out how to get through the fire trap, Darwin shows how he figured it out by reading and translating Magnus's writings which had the secrets of Kolskegg. So they followed the pattern in the writings to pass through the fire trap bringing the girl along because they couldn't leave her behind unwatched, so they make through the trap to the door and prepare for another trap just in case, then when the door is open nothing happens but they carefully look around before entering the room seeing it's the treasure room with dust on the jewelry and golden objects having spider webs on a few, but no crystal.
They look out for any of those pressure plates but the room was safe, so they cheered finding the jackpot, but the girl asks loudly," Where's the crystal?", the other three look around for it but nothing except a torch holder Anthony accidently pulls down then a small hole opens up in the wall next to him with the crystal inside shining brightly in a blue-like glow. "Nice job Anthony!", as Jack congratulates him finding the crystal, "Thanks but I tripped over a rock you know.", Anthony replies smiling, Darwin laughs and says, "That's one way to find treasure.", "Indeed.", the girl agreeing. After hours of putting the treasures found in the room in crates they go back to their cabin then called the authorities giving their statements about the girl intruding on an archeological site, next the police take the girl away but before she's taken away she tells Anthony, "You know next we meet I won't be alone now that I know the crystal exists." , "I'll kick your butt like I did when we met", Anthony telling the girl with a smirk, she replies with a smirk,"Well if that's how you greet a woman then I'll show you how I say Goodbye properly." Anthony says in his mind, "What a girl." Now that they have the treasures of Kolskegg they rest up but Anthony checks out the stone crystal shaped dragon after touching it a sudden chill comes out of nowhere, "What. where did this chill come from?", suddenly a spirit of a woman comes out of the stone crystal saying in a great strong voice, "You are worthy to claim the powers of the Cosmic Dragon!", with Anthony surprised, He response saying, "Well….damn okay.".
Then the spirit woman channels the energy coming out of the crystal glowing blue around Anthony, "Wait is this gonna-AAAAHHHH!", before he could finish talking the energy was channeled into his body through his eyes, mouth, and ears, waking up Darwin and Jack seeing Anthony and this spirit not knowing what's going they try and help Anthony get away from this blue glowing energy but they can't get pass the spirit who's keeping them from interrupting the power being channeled into Anthony as he yells, "AAAAHHHHAAAAHHHH!", Jack and Darwin yell at the same time, "ANTHONY!", then a bright flash of light comes out blinding Jack and Darwin temporarily after getting their sight back Anthony was nowhere to be seen or the spirit but only stone crystal remain broken into pieces and burned, "What... happen?"
3 years later on a fishing boat on the coast of New York
"CAPTAIN!", a fisherman yells whiling pulling a body out of the water with the other fishermen, Captain runs to help bring the body onto the boat and then asking, "Is he alive?", a fisherman checks to hear if there's a heartbeat and then suddenly gasping for air the man wakes up scaring the crew, the captain ask the man, "Are you alright?", then one of the fishermen bring the med kit, but the man says, "No I don't need that I'm fine, just need water please.", he's given water then the captain asks, "What's your name son?", the man replies after finishing the water, "It's Anthony. My name's Anthony.", Anthony's eyes glow blue looking up to the sky full of stars and comets flying by.
