Feeling like Invencible
...
...
...
So I'm in space...
...
... It's not that I'm afraid of that...
...
... But it is simply, that I am in one of the places where we have all dreamed of being... I am in the realm where the sky becomes null and void in this place.
... The infinite void, where the stars, although far from our reach ... shine eternally in this beautiful sky.
...
...
...
... And the place where any human being without a specialized suit to walk in this environment would die in a matter of seconds due to the lack of oxygen and the intense cold that this place can exert on every living being.
...
...
...but for some strange reason, I'm not dying from these effects, something that should be impossible... considering the cold that this damn place can cause, or the lack of oxygen in this vacuum...
There is nothing wrong with me at all...I mean of course I feel like I can't breathe at all and no air...but that aside, there is almost no bad effect that tells me there is something wrong with my body or my being.
... and I am afraid...
...I mean...how the heck did I end up in the middle of nowhere?
... how the hell I ended up in fucking space and how the fuck I'm not dying right now, are questions I won't get an answer to any time soon.
...
And that may not be answered at this time.
... but one thing I do know right now... and that is that I can't stay in this place, I can't stay still in this place and wait for the answers to my questions to appear by themselves...
... I have to move... but how do I do it... the last time I checked you can't move in space without having something to help you move... like clothes or something else...
...
...
... I still have my clothes on, don't I?
I look at my body and I can still see the grey serge sweatshirt still on me, the red short sleeve t-shirt, my blue denim pants and my black tennis shoes...
...
...
... Well... at least there is no one in space who can see me naked at this moment...
...
...
If my plan didn't help me much...
I'm still floating adrift in this place...
...
...
This is getting desperate... I want to go back to face right now... I want to fly or go far away from this place... I want... I want... I want... I want to go home right now...
...
...
... do you expect me to be...?
Wait yes! I'm moving!
My naked body is currently moving, moving right now, not parked in one place right now... it was... it was flying right now...
Sailing in space right now... but... how did I do it?
...
...
... and now I stopped...
... fantastic...
...
... Let's see Noel think... what did you do before to cause you to fly... let's see I started to think about my home... I started to think about my home... I tensed my muscles... I thought about flying far away from here...
...
... No... I don't think it's any of that, maybe it was just my mind playing a bad joke on me... maybe I'm hallucinating right now and I wasn't really moving... maybe I was just floating along at this moment... floating adrift wherever I am right now...
...
...
... Now why am I hearing the sound of some kind of engine?
Before I could think about it, several lights suddenly flashed, blinding me momentarily, I put my hand in front of my eyes and tried to distinguish whatever was in front of me...
What I saw...
...
... It's something out of a damn alien abduction movie... a huge alien ship... if I had to measure the size of this thing, it would easily be the size of the entire Central Park...
The gigantic Ship of a sinister blue color... was not alone... because behind it, further into the void... I could see a great number of things just like this great ship.
They were all moving in formation in the direction of... a planet which now seemed to be glowing with large explosions which I can barely make out.
... Please don't tell me that I was floating in the middle of a planetary invasion... please don't tell me that I had the damn bad luck to show up... on a planet which I could barely notice...
...It seemed to be the case, when the ship in front of me, projected a big blue light which enveloped me... at first I thought they would shoot me or that some alien thing or shit would come out and end my life...
...
...
... but instead, what happened... is that I was getting closer to that ship... only it wasn't of my own free will... the ship was pulling me to it!
No...
Please don't... I...
...Please don't...
But before I could even scream or beg... I already found myself in front of what seems to be one of the many entrances to this ship... the door opened and pulled me inside this ship... throwing me to the floor of this alien ship.
I fell to the ground... feeling the cold metal this ship was made of... my ears picked up the sound of... artifacts or devices turning on simultaneously.
I look up... and there they are... several figures with a human-like body... but they are not really human, these beings have blue-green skin... they are wearing black armor and all of them are pointing at me with what I think are laser rifles...
The beings looked like a combination between an insect... as if someone took a beetle and combined it with the anatomy of a human being
One of them started talking in a language that I couldn't understand, saying words in a completely unknown language... I didn't know what to do, I just stood there looking at all these aliens with fear...
...The idea that I would be used for...whatever these aliens wanted from me...is...is...scary...
...
... Suddenly someone, a voice that rose above the others who were aiming their rifles at me, shouted... causing the group in front of me to split in two... to make way for... whoever shouted...
...
...What I saw... is something that should not be possible...
...
...
...these beings... should not be able to exist.
... Because these beings... they're from the damn Comics!
...
...
...In front of me... was a... a... a... a FUCKING SCARAB!
A FUCKING BLUE BEETLE FROM THE DC UNIVERSE!
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!
"W-What are you!" I screamed in terror as I tried to get away from the damn blue beetle that was slowly approaching me... the being in a bio-tech armor and red eyes, gave me a toothy grin... enjoying the terror it was making me feel right now.
The beetle approached me... once he was in front of me, he reached his hand towards me... I had nowhere to run... so I stayed frozen on that same damn floor, letting the beetle grab my throat and lift me off the ground...
...
...
"Well... but what do we have here... a primitive mammal roaming naked in space... although I don't think you are a mammal at all... I'm scanning your body... and what I see is something I've only seen once in my entire life... and that is... a Kryptonian... But not at the same time... What are you?"
I didn't understand a word this being said...
...
...
...But definitely... the word Kryptonian... that was something I could completely understand...
...Did they...?
...They think I'm a Kryptonian?
...
... I... I don't... I don't really believe it... I don't really believe I'm a Kryptonian... I mean... I guess I would feel like I'm a Kryptonian... but am I really Kryptonian?
The beetle turned and barked at the others "Get the Kryptonite now!" Whatever the beetle said, it caused a stir among the other aliens, who went off in a specific direction to get some...
...
... I have the feeling that I won't like what they bring...
...
...
...And he was right...
...One of the aliens brought a glowing emerald rock, the stone was so bright that it dulled the glow of the other lights in this room.
...They... They have a Kryptonite... a... pure fucking Kryptonite in their possession... the fucking rock, was held by one of the aliens... who was holding it in some gloves, which seem to be specialized to carry such an object...
The beetle, who looked at me with those glowing red orbs says "I hope you enjoy our gift...after all, this rock was part of your home...wasn't it?"
The alien slowly approached me... with the damn rock in his hands...
...I could only stare wide-eyed in terror at that damn alien...waiting for the side effects of the Kryptonite weakening to hit me...I could almost feel the great pain it would cause me within seconds...
... The rock was in front of me... I closed my eyes tightly... waiting for the pain that was about to come...
...
...God please... let nothing happen to me...
...
...
...
... What?
What's up?
I open my eyes and look at the Kryptonite in front of me and the reaction of all the aliens... what I saw... is complete disbelief... I mean sure they are aliens and all... but with a face almost the same as a human... the emotions they were expressing was complete disbelief...
Doesn't Kryptonite affect me?
...
...
... But how?... they say that I am a Kryptonian, besides, Kryptonians are always affected by the radiation emitted by the damned green stones, it is not possible that I am not affected by this...
...
...
... unless he's not really a Kryptonian like they think.
The beetle turned to look at his compatriot and I am more than sure that he is asking him why I don't show weakening effects... I am sure that is what happens between those two beings...
I have to free myself from them...this is my only chance right now and it may be the only chance I will have if I don't really fight for my freedom.
...So with all the strength I could muster in my right fist, I threw it directly at the beetle's jaw, hoping that my blow would do something to this being...
...
...
... What I did not expect, was that my blow would tear off the lower jaw of this being... the force of my blow was such, that the beetle released my throat from its bio-mechanical claws and sent it flying to another part of the bottom of this ship... going through walls and walls of bio-technology...
All the aliens could only watch in utter shock, as one of the best warriors of their race... a subjugator of worlds... was quickly dispatched by a simple fist...
... a fist... with the power to eliminate beetles in a single blow...
When I felt the beetle's claws release my throat... I expected to fall back to the ground... but instead, I was floating in the air, without the aid of any apparatus or device to keep me aloft.
...
...
...I was flying at this moment... flying inside the structure of this ship...
...Looking at aliens who looked completely terrified at my demonstration of power... terrified of what I am going to do to them...
Maybe my language was understandable to them... or not, but what I said to them, caused a chain reaction... I said "ahm... I... sorry?" and with those words... the aliens started shooting at me.
Red lasers came out of the barrels of their guns, which were directed at high speed against me, I could feel the heat of the lasers hitting my body...
...I could feel how the rays hit my body with force, but leaving that aside... the holes that would have to come out of my body never appeared... because my skin seemed to be more resistant than steel... I could feel how they left a clear mark...
...but none of those laser beams hurt me, the most I could feel from them was tingling, almost similar to the sensation of passing an object through your skin... none of them really seemed to represent a real danger to me.
I look at the aliens still in fear... I really will have to kill if I want to get out of this, won't I... is this really the only way out of this?
I mean sure, if I almost killed one of the beetles in one hit (actually I think I did kill) then it would be easy to deal with these aliens in one hit...
I really don't want to kill anyone... I never wanted to be someone responsible for the death of any person or animal...
...
... but right now I have no other choice...
...
... it's them or me now...
...
... God forgive me for this.
And with that in mind, completely determined to survive what was about to happen, I tried to launch myself against these aliens... but since I have no idea how to fly, instead of going after the aliens I flew to the right...
I shouted in surprise as I flew in the wrong direction, trying to reorient myself to fly in the right direction.
The aliens of the Reach did not stop shooting, I could feel dozens of lasers hitting my body... and it seems that an alarm started to sound...
...I am more than sure that more of them are going to come to this place...
How the hell do I try to control my flight?
Come on Noel! Think!
I tried to think of something that would really help me... but before I did that, a roar of anger was heard from the place where the beetle I hit flew off. I turned to look at the place where the roar came from.
Only to see the blue beetle I hit earlier charge towards me at a great speed, with both arms turned into blades and the lower part of its jaw repaired into a large mouth full of teeth equal to saws.
I grabbed the beetle's arms and pulled it as far away from my face as I could, trying to keep it from biting me with that mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. We ended up crashing into the wall of this ship.
The beetle tried to bite my face with those saw-like teeth, I managed to move my face away from its newly created jaws, I hit the beetle's abdomen with my knee, causing it to recoil from the pain it felt in the place where I hit it.
The beetle's head bled more blood from two fists which nearly shattered its head, only to be lifted into the air by another upward blow.
I took advantage of the fact that the beetle was in the air and grabbed its ankle, with so much force that I didn't notice that I pulverized all the bones that were in that place, I could hear how the beetle shrieked in complete agony for its broken bones.
I whipped the beetle against the wall where I was, the material of which this wall is made, bent by the sudden impact of the beetle that I whipped against this wall.
I grabbed the beetle's shoulders and began slamming its head against the wall again, whipping it hard enough to damage its beetle suit and the being beneath said armor.
The blue beetle beaks on its back suddenly came to life, bending in my direction and pointing at me with hostile intent... and just as I knew it, so the beaks attacked me.
Trying to dig into my shoulders to make me let them go, I could feel the tip of the spikes trying to penetrate my skin, the pain I felt from them was mild... but the spikes kept trying to stab me, and the more they tried I could feel how they were starting to penetrate my shoulders little by little.
So I continued, applying much more force to my attack and whipping the beetle faster and faster against the wall of the ship, the purple blood was coming out of his face which was exposed by the constant crash against the wall...
...Until finally with a piercing scream full of rage. From the pain of the spikes which were digging into my shoulders... I threw the strongest fist I could provide.
The next thing I knew, the beetle's body bent like a branch, the sound of bone being literally shattered by the blow reached my ears... the wall I used to shatter the beetle before... was ripped out of place by my blow.
Opening a large hole through which I was sucked into the vacuum of space, I could see how the body of the now dead beetle was also sucked in... leaving it floating lifelessly adrift.
The other aliens from the Reach who were in this room and kept shooting, while fighting with the beetle, were sucked with us into space.
I saw how they were dying because of the infernal cold of this place and the lack of oxygen in this environment... their bodies now lifeless began to freeze from the low temperatures of this infernal cold...
And I was there again... floating once more adrift in space, unable to move or fly as I did before... I could only see the ship which turned to look in my direction.
... And as I feared... the ship seems to be aiming all its guns at me... I could see how several of the ship's cannons were now pointed at me... ready to turn me into bloody space dust...
GAAGH this can't be happening!
It can't be that I'm going to die with the ability to fly and absurd strength!
Come on damn body!
Just tell me how the fuck to fly!
Please!
ALONE!
FLY!
The scarab ship fired its plasma cannons... spheres of pure blue energy will be directed dangerously against me... and before I could move from this place...
...Something...
... Or rather... Someone arrived
Man of Steel Ost-Arcade
The plasma spheres exploded in a huge explosion that almost reached me... I thought at first that something else was coming...
...but what I saw... made me discard that idea completely.
A figure much larger than me stood in front of me... a being of human appearance who was dressed in white clothes, white skin and short hair...
The figure turned to look at me... his eyes stared at me for a long time, as if he was analyzing my value for him... as if he saw nothing more than a child at this moment...
And suddenly... words came out that came from this being... but not from his mouth, it was more like I could hear his voice in my head... what he said... was as follows
"another weakling from what I can see... stay here baby and watch a real Viltrumite deal with this plague".
...
...
...Did he say?
Viltrumite
Before I could ask him about... all my doubts... the Viltrumita just... disappeared... disappeared and the Reach ship that was in front of me was pierced, so I think it was the Viltrumita that saved me...
The ship was shattered... in a matter of seconds by the overwhelming force of this Viltrumite... who didn't even seem to have suffered a single scratch on his being...
I could see how the Viltrumite destroyed the ship as if it were paper, it only took about 10 seconds to destroy the entire ship, leaving it as nothing more than floating scrap in the emptiness of this space...
I looked with astonishment at the ship that the Viltrumite had just destroyed... frozen with fear for the demonstration of power that its mere presence could cause...
I could see how the figure dressed in white kept looking at me... then the same voice I heard before told me "You better put on something... or I swear to Argall I will gut you for looking inadequate at this time" The tone in which he said things made me tremble in my voice...
So without saying a single word to him I nodded my head... The Viltrumite nodded and looked at the planet that the rest of the ships of the Reach were now invading.
On his wrist was a device which he brought close to his face... I could hear him say "I have a visual of the Reach fleet, Wolf Squadron start the elimination of the hostile forces... eliminate all the weak that you find on the way... and send the damn rookies to pick up the fresh meat that I found stranded in this place".
Fresh meat... You mean me?
Before I could ask him what he meant by that... I saw how 4 other figures that were dressed the same as the other Viltrumite in front of me, flew towards the fleet...
Leaving me alone in space... watching the Viltrumites destroy the Reach fleet with great speed and power... overwhelming them and destroying anyone in their path.
"Well look what we have here, for fresh meat this Viltrumita does have a body" Suddenly says a voice in my head, I could feel the owner of that female voice behind me.
I turned and looked at what I assumed to be this rookie team which was made up of 4 Viltrumites, two men and two women... each and every one of them carrying what I assume to be medical equipment... and clothes for me.
Thank God...
...
...
... But putting that aside... after all the events I just witnessed... after everything I just went through, the only thing I could say at this moment... the only thing that really made sense in my mind was to say...
...
...
... "No shit."
...
...
...
To be continued
That there are some nice people from the neighborhood... I imagine everyone is doing well at the moment.
And yes... yes I know I have now like 4 stories which I will have to update often, but nothing I can't deal with... but with the recent new episodes of INVINCIBLE I suddenly got the idea to make this new story.
And if you're wondering, this universe will be a combination of the animated and comic book universe of INVINCIBLE with various other elements from DC comics and Young Justice.
Think of this as a separate project that I will be developing at this time.
With that said, I hope the introduction to this new project I'm working on appealed to you.
Without further ado, I'll see you next time...
