Cosmic Collision
Chapter One- Encounters of the Cosmic Kind
Earth.
A world that became my second home.
It is here on this world that I befriended so many.
I am Norrin Radd.
The Silver Surfer.
Herald of Galactus, Destroyer of Worlds.
I've traveled the cosmos, seen more than other eyes could hope to behold in a hundred lifetimes.
Despite all that I have seen, I cannot help but look in awe of the beauty of this planet known as Earth.
What draws me here, I cannot know or understand, but it's enough to cause me to go forth and explore.
Without the slightiest hint of hesitation, the Silver Surfer soared atop his board towards the planet at speeds faster than light. Despite all the worlds he had explored, and no matter how many galaxies he has traveled since becoming Galactus' Seeker, the Silver Surfer could not help but feel drawn to this planet known as Earth. Whether this was caused by his connection with those that lived there or the fact that there was always something new to discover on this tiny blue planet, The Silver Surfer truly did not know nor could he actually understand.
Regardless, The Silver Surfer went about his exploration of this planet that he has become so familiar with, enjoying the sheer beauty of nature that this planet had to offer. Those that witnessed his arrival could only stare in awe at the silver stream of light, their minds wondering if he was a unique type of star or something else that was far greater than anything that they could even begin to comprehend. If only they could know who he truly is... If only they could know who he once was before he became the Herald of Galactus... if only.
There was a part of him, beneath the silver flesh within his very heart and soul, that longed for companionship. There wasn't a moment that he didn't think about his homeworld of Zenn-La, but even greater still, was how much he missed his beloved Shalla Bal. The most tragic part of his whole ordeal since becoming the Herald of Galactus, was the fact that he would most likely never see her again. The only thought that lessened the pain was that both his world and the woman he loved were safe from harm. Still, there was a part of him that desired companionship... if only for a few moments.
Amity Park
It was a beautiful summer day in the hometown of everyone's favorite human/ghost hybrid, Danny Phantom, who was soaring through the skies seemingly without a care in the world. It has been nearly three years since he saved the world, while also revealing his identity to everyone on the planet, including his own parents. Thankfully, most had come to accept him not only as a hero, but that did not mean that he wasn't without enemies.
There was still many ghosts within the Ghost Zone that still held powerful grudges against him, especially individuals such as Skulker, Vortex, Undergrowth, Ember McClain, and The Fright Knight to name just a few. Then again, nobody said that being a hero was going to be easy, for with great power comes great responsibility. Danny knew this to be true, because his confrontation with Dark Danny years ago was more than enough to prove that point, and it definitely made him choose wisely in the choices that he would make from that moment on.
Much to his relief, villainous activity has been few and far in-between, which was something that he honestly couldn't complain about. It did allow him more time to spend with his family, especially since Jazz was home from college. Not to mention that it gave him more time to be with his friend turned girlfriend, Samantha Manson, who was growing up to be a very beautiful young woman. There were few moments that Danny treasured as much as the time he would spend with the woman he loved.
Speaking of growing up, Danny himself had seemingly went through a growth spurt in the last three years, his body becoming more muscular and toned to fit his six foot tall frame. His hair was longer now than it was several years ago, but it retained its raven black color, or in his ghost form, a silver-white shade of color. True, he wasn't nowhere near as imposing as The Hulk or Thor, but he was still at least physically similar to either Captain America or Spider-Man at least, which was good enough for him.
As Danny soared through the air, getting lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice the silver stream of light in the distance. It was only when the the unbelievably fast silver stream of light passed him did Danny instantly take notice as he tried to keep himself airbourne, his form just barely avoiding impact with the earth below as he maintained his flying capability. Rising high into the air once again, Danny watched as the silver stream of light continued flying, its speed so fast that he knew that even at top speed he wouldn't have a chance of catching up with it.
"Whoa! What the heck was that?", Danny asked himself, floating in the air as he stared off into the distance.
"Was it a falling star? Nah! It would have crashed if it was one. Besides, it wouldn't have kept on going on like that.", Danny told himself as he soared off in the direction that the silver stream of light went.
"A new top secret goverment ultra sonic plane? No, they wouldn't test that out in the open for people to see... at least not that I'm aware of.", Danny continued to speak to himself as he continued to fly in the direction of downtown Amity.
"Still, I should definitely check this out. I just hope that it's not some alien from another world, because the last thing I need is a new enemy.", Danny remarked, his mind now set on discovering what exactly that silver stream of light really is.
Downtown Amity
Jazz Fenton walked along the sidewalk, reading one of her books that she purchased from the internet, the contents of the book involving and revolving around the human psyche. She was going to college, hoping to earn her degree in human psychology, and become a psychologist. At first glance, most would not expect a young woman as beautiful as Jazz Fenton to be the type that would pursue the study and understanding of the human mind, for her beauty alone could make most men stare in awe.
It was true that Jazz was gifted with a tall lithe build, her height close to six feet tall; her eyes were of a lovely light blue in color, which seemed to complement her long auburn hair that flowed down her back. As always, she was very supportive of her brother Danny, just like she has always been when she first discovered his secret. Still, there were times that she couldn't help but worry about her younger sibling, for she could only imagine what it was like for him to be known throughout the community as a hero. Regardless, Jazz promised herself that she would help Danny in any way that she possibly can, because she knew that he would do the same for her.
Jazz continued to walk down the sidewalk, approching a construction site that was about to demolish one of the older buildings with a wrecking ball crane, so that a new establishment could be built within this area. Suddenly, without so much as a warning, the silver stream of light soared through the streets right before everyones eyes, its intense speed causing windows to explode from the shockwaves. Jazz quickly turned to see the silver strem of light disappear into the distance, its speed greater than anything that she had ever witnessed on any level of science.
Unknown to Jazz, the shockwaves created by the silver stream of light shattered the window glass of the crane, causing the operator of the wrecking ball to be temporarily blinded and hit the controls. This caused the crane to swing its wrecking ball, but instead of hitting the intended target, it smashed into the building that Jazz stood in front of! The impact of the wrecking ball smashing into the building causes a massive chunk to shatter and fall, its immense size capable of crushing anything unfortunate enough to be beneath it, which unfortunately, Jazz Fenton was!
It was too late for her to try to dodge, that much Jazz knew as she raised her arms to cover her eyes before unleashing what would be her last scream... or so she thought! Out of the nowhere, the silver stream of light appeared, its speed too fast for normal human eyes to even comprehend. Before Jazz knew what was going on, she was spirited away as the massive chunk of the building smashed into the earth, crushing the sidewalk and sending dust and debris high into the air. Jazz dared not to open her eyes, but she felt something or someone holding her in a protective embrace, her own arms tightly gripping the being who saved her life. Finally, gathering enough courage, Jazz slowly opened her eyes to discover the surprise of her life!
Jazz's blue eyes gazed upon her savior, who still held her in his arms as they soared through the air at a speed that was only comparable to a shooting star. She soon took notice that her savior's flesh was not only silver in color, but seemingly as smooth as glass, yet felt as strong as the strongest steel known to exist! His eyes were also of a silver color, while his face seemed to show no real emotion.
Eventually, the Silver Surfer came to a stop atop a grassy hill that gave them a view of Amity Park, his gaze locking onto Jazz's own as he gently set her down on the ground. Jazz took a few steps back, her blue eyes never leaving the Silver Surfer's form as he stood atop his board, which remained hovering at least a foot off the advantage of the situation, Jazz allowed herself a better look at her unique savior, her blue eyes taking in every single detail of his body. His height was at least six foot three, his statuesque build easily giving him a weight range anywhere between two hundred-twenty to two hundred-sixty pounds.
"Are you unharmed?", The Silver Surfer asked, startling Jazz from her thoughts as his gaze locked onto her own.
"Yes, I'm okay. Thanks, uh, I mean, thank you... for saving me.", Jazz replied in embarrassment, wondering if he noticed that she was checking him out.
"What is your name?", The Silver Surfer asked gently.
"My name... is Jasmine Fenton, but you can call me Jazz, if you like.", Jazz answered, feeling a light blush color her cheeks as she extended her hand.
"Greetings, Jasmine Fenton. It is an honor to make your acquaintance.", The Silver Surfer responded, reaching out and gently grasping her hand briefly with his own.
"Thanks. So... who are you?", Jazz asked.
"My name is... was Norrin Radd.", The Silver Surfer stated, refusing to break eye contact with the young woman that stood before him.
