At last, the long delayed prophecy has been fulfilled, the token has been used and the gates of the worlds have been opened, a conqueror from another world is about to arrive, and his arrival will shake the valley of Tunalos, then the continent of Kumandra, as well as the entire world, and destiny itself, fate, seems to be nothing won't change the worn road, on the other hand, it seems that even the Golden Dragon, the one who writes the fate of mortals, that even he has come down the road with no way out, but there is still something in all this, even destiny has forgotten one thing and it's coming true now.

Meanwhile, New York and Times Square, it was already late afternoon, the rain clouds had started to disappear over the horizon and the sidewalks and streets were now full of water but that didn't stop the city from living, the streets and sidewalks were full of people as always, talking, working, and people having fun, and one of them was Lucas Nowak dressed in black pants, brown shoes and a blue shirt with geometric elements.

This time, Lucas walked through the city anyway, keeping an eye on everything around him, cars driving by as he crossed the lanes, people marching to do their last shopping, going home or like him rushing to someone and play, and one of the cinemas was the main the goal of a dreaming man, a man always identifying himself with the fictional world and heroes, because he has always preferred the world of fiction to the real world, seeing only what is bad in the real world, although some changes have taken place, dreams and childhood have returned in the hearts of many, Lucas has always seen in his There was a certain weakness in the world, something that smothered people, something that could be called a lack of choice, which together with fear and lies ruled the human world.

Lucas that day, that evening, however, he did not think about matters over which he had no influence, although he always dreamed that one day he would give the world a chance to decide, yet today he was not worried about the known matter, he was mainly busy with what he liked the most, today that day in the cinemas he was a movie on air from DC studios, a movie that Lucas had already watched three times, yet each such screening could not escape such an opportunity.

Lucas loved movies from DC and MARVEL studios, he loved SI-FI movies, detective stories and all sorts of animated movies, seeing in this the world he wanted to see in the real world, because in the real world evil always won, this was the conviction Lucas had been guided by for a long time.

Entering the final bend, Lucas looked ahead at the lamp-lit cinema with posters of new movies showing in cinemas and information about movie marathons, including the Alien movie marathon, for which Lucas also had a ticket for next week, but that wasn't what stopped him the most but the sight certain blonde lady dressed in a sky-blue sweatshirt, a white shirt with a high neckline and red tight pants, and as always attracting the eyes of many, including three men entering the cinema, as it turned out, Kendra was just waiting for Lucas, she herself had bought a ticket for that day, for this evening.

Lucas stood still for a moment because he didn't know how to explain to the girl infatuated with him that nothing would come of it, Lucas had no experience with girls, much less breaking up, Lucas had never been in love and didn't know how it worked, but he knew that today he will have an important conversation to have with his friend from work, and after the conversation, his friend will surely hate him very much.

Finally, Lucas shook his head and with a heavy look moved forward and when Kendra saw him, she immediately started waving to him, calling him like someone close, like a boyfriend.

- Lucas!, hi, come on, the show will start in a moment, May sit next to each other. Kendra said cuddling up to her friend, but at the beginning Lucas didn't show the same joy, he didn't hug, he stood like a tree trunk, but Kendra looked into his blue eyes smiling wide with red painted lips.

- that's how we go. Kendra asked, trying to pull her friend's hand, but when she felt Lucas not moving, she looked straight into his face.

- Lucas, what's going on. Kendra asked.

- You know, we need to talk, come on. Lucas said this time he led his friend.

Kendra didn't know what to expect for a moment, on the one hand she hoped that Lucas would finally notice her, see her, but on the other hand this strange seriousness, concentration, was a bit scary, finally Lucas led Kendra to a dark alley leading between buildings and a restaurant.

For a moment, Kendra thought that Lucas would actually see her as the one, her confidence increased when Lucas took both of her hands and squeezed, actually the girl's innocent heart even seemed to accelerate and it seemed that nothing would spoil this one moment.

- Kendra. Lucas said himself not knowing how to start and what to say, because Kendra was not indifferent to him, she was a good friend to him but only a friend, because of this he was broken because on the one hand he did not want to cheat on her and on the other hand he did not want her to suffer because of him.

- I'm listening, tell me what you have to say to me, or wait, no words are needed here. Kendra said while kissing Lucas, for a moment Kendra thought she had found happiness, her heart was screaming with happiness but it all came crashing down when Lucas quickly pulled away from her and wiped the lipstick off his lips and his eyes were so blank.

- Lucas what happened?. Kendra asked, now dreading what was coming and what was already inevitable.

- Kendra, we need to talk seriously, I need to tell you something. Lucas said taking the trembling girl's left and right hands in his hands.

- well, what do you want to tell me, say it here and now, don't run away, have courage, go ahead. Kendra said come alone she was afraid of what was about to happen.

Lucas breathed heavily because he knew what he was going to do would not be easy, it would be painful, but he had to be honest and do it right here and now, Lucas looked straight into his trembling eyes and finally spoke, squeezing Kendra's cold hands tighter and tighter.

- Kendra listen to me, I know how you feel about me, but. Lucas said at the same time Kendra, hearing the word BUT, quickly yanked her cold hands from her friend's grip.

- but what, nothing will come of it!, right!, come on, tell me!. Kendra said, furious and bitter.

- unfortunately yes, forgive me, we can be friends and nothing else, I know you will hate me now, but someday you will understand, and I, I know that I hurt terribly but I'm your friend and I want to be honest with you. Lucas said looking regretfully at the trembling Kendra.

- so it's like that, you're just a friend to me and nothing more, friend?!, how can you call yourself that way, does a friend hurt friends no!. Kendra screamed, clenching her fists.

At one point, Lucas even expected a blow to the head or below, but neither hit ever came, instead Kendra stretched out her right hand, half distraught, half furious at everything.

- you're crazy, tell me one thing, you've never been in love, right?. Kendra asked affirmatively through clenched teeth.

- so I was not, my heart has never chosen so far. Lucas said.

- ha, that's funny, you're twenty-one and yet you've never been in love, that's pathetic, even I used to be infatuated in the old days, and you never were?. Kendra asked, Lucas merely shook his head at her question.

- I knew you were sick, sick in the head. Kendra said tapping first on Lucas' head and then on his chest and blue geometric shirt.

- What do you mean I'm sick?. Lucas asked.

- and that you are unreal, do you know that you live here on earth, or do you live in your own world, tell me honestly.

- Kendra, please. Lucas said, trying to calm the furious Kendra by placing his hands on her shoulder but Kendra quickly stepped back, stretching her right hand in front of her, threatening with her finger.

- don't touch me, you had a chance now you don't have it you freak unreal. Kendra said through clenched teeth.

- I do not hide the fact that I live my own world, but it doesn't mean that I can't fall in love, there is always a place for love because I believe in love, come on, I'm a little torn. Lucas said placing his hand on his chest.

- torn?, you mean?. Kendra asked, looking into her friend's blue eyes.

- see for yourself, the world is full of evil, sometimes it seems to me that true love in the real world is just an illusion, and in the world of fiction it is different, because it has a real choice, and here the world has no choice, even though something has changed, that dreams have come back , the world still has no choice, but I did because going to be an electrician I did it against my parents and myself, that's why my heart will choose one day, I don't know when, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, I don't know when but when that day comes I will know . Lucas said, pouring out all his truth in front of her interlocutor.

This time Kendra looked at her friend more with regret than fury, seeing in him a man with no way out, a man with a strange approach to the world, you could even say a sick approach to the world, crazy.

- You know what Lucas.

- I'm listening.

- I didn't think you had such a big problem but now I see that you are crazy in your own way. Kendra said and that brought a smile to her friend's face.

- You're really crazy. Kendra added, stepping back for a moment, fearing not for herself but more for her friend.

- maybe I'm crazy, that's a fact, but the world that surrounds us is crazier, without choice, full of fear and lies, it's a shame to talk, I feel sorry for humanity, they constantly blindly strive for self-destruction and this is not the work of nature even though it is subject to fear and lies and lack of choices which in my opinion is the worst force here, but I hope that someday you will understand me, maybe even forgive me, today I know She will be very angry with me. Lucas said being honest about the last word.

Despite her honesty, Kendra wasn't thrilled at all, conflicting emotions and thoughts were raging in her mind, on the one hand she was furious at the man who rejected her love, on the other hand she saw in him a crazy and poor man who will surely always be alone on the other hand she saw in a man completely incomprehensible, come on, a lot of what Lucas said was true when talking about the evil of the world, some things were even incomprehensible to her.

However, everything focused on one thing now demanding the greatest pain, Kendra looked at the sky and the stars appearing from behind the fading clouds, hearing the voice of the city, the roar of engines and people talking, Kendra closed her eyes wanting to sort out everything that had happened despite the pains in her again hit, and after the pain came anger.

- I didn't think you were that crazy, but you are. Kendra said through clenched teeth.

- I didn't think you were so blind. Lucas said shocking practically everyone with his words.

- what did you say?. Kendra asked, her eyes wide.

- what you heard, you see me instead of seeing someone else, someone who has had a special feeling for you for a long time. Lucas said.

- you know what, stop lying, you think I'm stupid, and leave me alone with the rest, I've had enough of you. Kendra said trying to leave but everything was stopped when Lucas spoke the last words.

- I feel sorry for our friend, Steven, you will never be indifferent to him. Lucas said and Kendra looked back confused by the new emotions but her anger clouded everything again.

- you think I'm stupid, you think that by rejecting me you have the right to match me now!, I'm not stupid. Kendra said.

- and yet you are, directing feelings to me, come on, you should know that you have no chance here, alone without seeing the one who loves you!. Lucas said loudly.

- finally see the truth and choose, be free, that's all I'm asking you to do. Lucas added, bowing his head.

Kendra fed up with everything just ran out of the alley not wanting to look back or listen to more words, Lucas seeing the fury walked out of the alley for a moment watching his friend run across the lanes and run off the boulevard being furious with him and what he had done but there was no other choice, Lucas wanted to be honest and show her the whole truth.

- excuse me, maybe someday. Lucas said, looking sadly into the distance at his running friend.

- right now what?. Lucas said as he first heard his friend's voice and then saw Steven running after the Kendra.

- Kendra, wait!. Steven shouted and the watching Lucas hid behind an alley watching as his friend now dressed in a suit stops a distraught and furious Kendra, watching them talk for a while, Kendra flailing his arms furiously and at the end they both stop in a sincere, emotional embrace.

Lucas, seeing his friends in a sincere embrace, believed that what he had done today wasn't so bad anymore because he didn't want to lie to Kendra and he didn't want his friend Steven to suffer either, and now he saw it perfectly well that a real choice had been made.

- I knew that someday I would be a hero for someone and I would give a real choice. Said Lucas watching as the two friends walk away holding their hands reaching out and he raised his right hand holding a movie ticket, Lucas for the first time in his life forgot everything and didn't even want to watch one of his favorite movies with a fictional world in front of his eyes .

- is it possible, is love true in the real world, maybe anyway, but you have to help, yes!, this is the role of the hero!. Lucas shouted in an inner revelation.

Everything was suddenly torn out of the brunette's head, a strange wind began to blow from the alley leading to the darkened back of the buildings and restaurants, Lucas rested behind him feeling the strange wind getting stronger and seems to be calling him to a specific place, Lucas hid the ticket in his pocket and set off down the dark an alley leading into the unknown until the eyes of man turned out to be something very strange, shocking, terrifying, but it was not a monster, an angry gangster, or secret services chasing aliens, but something that was shining more and more.

Lucas, seeing the strange light, knew immediately that this something was nothing normal, nothing of this world, that this something was a manifestation of the unknown, maybe a cosmic anomaly or a manifestation of technology unknown to anyone before, when the light illuminated the dark alley Lucas stared at the strange glow, reaching out to his hands until he suddenly stepped back, clutching his head.

- no, it can't be true, I must be really crazy, it can't be real. Lucas said, but with every moment what seemed unreal was real, first a strong gust of wind hit the ground near the opening portal.

With the ground freezing, everything around began to rise under the pressure of a strange power and in one second a portal leading to an unknown place was opened, first a light struck, then hundreds of strange colors exploded like shooting stars, and finally a perfect sphere was formed, a liquid ball the same like the one from the Dinon lab that Alex Kowalski went through.

- it's true, it's a portal!, but where, now!. Shouted Lucas looking at the open portal that was waiting, he didn't pull him towards himself, he was waiting, and Lucas, seeing the open portal that did not want to pull him in, understood that this is the second part, it's his choice.

Lucas didn't fight, didn't try to run away instead he first looked back at his world and the oncoming group of people who could pass through the portal for him, then Lucas looked confidently at his hands and the open road into the unknown, believing it would lead him to another better place place, even if it meant his immediate death, Lucas made his decision, and with a real choice, he pushed off the ground with his foot as he strode into the open portal.

- this is my choice!. Lucas shouted, running straight into the open ball.

Lucas jumped into the ball and everything around him began to rush at terrifying speed, stars, planets, everything, everything rushed around and a strange unknown power materialized around him to eventually enter the human body, Lucas felt nothing but an indescribable rush led into the unknown, everything rushed faster and faster, leaving behind only the memories of the old world and what Lucas had given up today.

The road ran into the unknown, lights and blackness flickered until everything was suddenly illuminated by a strong glow, and after that the first thing that struck was a delicate sense of space and a gentle breeze, Lucas fell on something that felt like earth, Lucas taking a deep breath realized that he was in a strange place world able to breathe, able to live, finally rising to his feet Lucas opened his eyes and saw a world similar to the human earth, except for a strange gathering around him.

The first thing that struck Lucas in his eyes were the people, two people standing in front of him, a black-haired girl in gray armor with a yellow-handled sword and a black-haired man with a ponytail in lamellar armor and a katana standing next to her.

- gosh, go ahead, I'm telling you right now where I am. Asked Lucas, realizing that two people wasn't enough, there were more strange people and even more strange with four hundred armored steel and three hovering helicopter-like ships.

At the same time, standing in front of his fourth moored ship, the Engineer stared at the image of an unknown man in strange clothes because he was not from here, unable to believe that the whole prophecy could be a big lie after all.

- man, but how!, he was supposed to be a conqueror, I don't believe it!. The Engineer shouted as he saw his plan crumble before his eyes until something indescribable happened, and for the second time.

In front of everyone, Lucas began to float in the air unbound by gravity and his eyes suddenly glowed with a strange light, Lucas looked at the sky and a powerful ray shot out of his eyes that could destroy the entire mountain, and everything even the sky suddenly trembled.

Lucas landed on the ground and the Engineer, regaining his joy and conviction of the upcoming success, looked at the newcomer, understanding that here was a great conqueror from another world to defeat the Golden Dragon once and for all.

Meanwhile, both Raya and Lao Bin, seeing an unknown man with mysterious and truly terrifying powers, began to slowly back away not knowing what to do and what to say, no one knew who the newcomer was and what powers he wields, one thing was certain, today in front of everyone gathered, the prophecy finally began to come true, so an unknown stranger came to the world of magic, wielding in his hands a power greater than magic, a power not related to the four elements but to energy power.

Lucas himself looked around him, understanding his own powers, but not what surrounded and greeted him, first people, then steel structures, and finally dragons.

- wait, humans, androids?, dragons!. Said Lucas seeing six shocked dragons, three water dragons, one dragon of fire, earth and air, everything started rushing in the mind of man like in a crazy merry-go-round, Lucas realizing that what surrounds him is real and he himself found himself in a strange world endowed with great powers and everyone around him looked at him.

- it is he, the conqueror, the murderer. Pengu said in shock as he stepped back.

Hearing the words of the green dragon, Lucas just looked at him, they don't understand why the mysterious dragon calls him a murderer and a conqueror, why these dragons and most people look at him with fear and terror, the stronger when his eyes went around everyone and finally stopped on the violet eyes of the blue dragoness.

Seeing a man in strange clothes, a man from a prophecy with an unknown and dangerous power, Sisu hissed with pure fear, but the eyes of the man, the newcomer, did not show anger or fury before her, as is usually the case with conquerors and very evil people, where the eyes of despots are filled with manifestations of anger, rage, certainty and superiority, the man in the strange costume showed only incomprehension and even regret with his gaze.

However, before the first word was spoken, before Sisu managed to say anything, Lao Bin shouted to everyone, running at the man from another world with a gun in his hand.

- we must attack quickly now, until the conqueror is at full strength, quickly. Lao Bin said, and everyone but the Engineer's servants rushed at the man, well almost everyone.

L

so an ordinary man, ordinary and extraordinary became a force, and everything that now before the whole world was in his hands, finally someone with the power of the Justice League appeared in another world, in the valley of Tunalos, to decide everything, even himself. Justice Harbinger has arrived.
