In an abyssal realm unlike any other, where the darkness enveloped him like a shroud, as if the very fabric of existence had unraveled and light was but a distant memory, a voice emerged, resonating with a newfound clarity.
"I believe I have finally grasped the art of wielding my powers with precision, ensuring that no one else suffers from my turmoil... and at last, I am free."
The words flowed with a soothing cadence, a balm for the soul after an arduous battle against inner demons. In the heart of this impenetrable gloom, Bob Reynolds, known to the world as the Sentry, the Golden guardian of good or for now the red guardian of good, sat in a meditative pose, yet his attire betrayed the title; his suit, a haunting blend of red and black, mirrored the shadows that danced around him.
His once golden hair had succumbed to the darkness, now a deep ebony, a testament to his fusion with the void that had long haunted him, a stark reminder of the duality that defined his existence.
With the arduous training behind him, a crucible of self-discovery and mastery over his formidable abilities, sentry now stands at a precipice, contemplating his next move.
Will he remain ensnared within the suffocating confines of his own malevolent creation, or will he break free, emerging as the beacon of hope that the world so desperately craves?
"Having finally harnessed my powers and subdued the darker impulses that once threatened to consume me and everything I cared for, I believe it is time to rejoin my friends... finally," he mused, the weight of his decision heavy yet liberating.
The very essence of his struggle would be rendered meaningless if he chose to retreat into the shadows once again; the countless Days he spent unraveling the enigma of his powers would be in vain.
"—— Alright then".
With a heart brimming with resolve, sentry rose, his eyes aglow with a brilliant white light, and as he opened them, the oppressive darkness dissipated, revealing a vast expanse of azure sky and billowing clouds.
Sentry smiled as he inhaled the fresh wind and gazed upon the vast sky adorned with thick clouds, a stark contrast to the last time he had ventured outside. Memories of the near catastrophe he had almost caused on Earth flooded his mind, but thanks to his friends Thor, the Black Panther, and fat cobra, ... and others of course, disaster was averted. Reflecting on the past, sentry vowed to apologize to them if given the chance.
"A disturbance," sentry intoned, his voice suddenly is heavy with concern as the jovial smile faded from his lips, replaced by a look of steely determination. His superhuman hearing detected the haunting echoes of screams and desperate cries for assistance, resonating from a mere two miles away.
Fueled by his newfound control over his powers and immense strength of more than million exploding sun, he felt an unwavering resolve to intervene. In an instant, he launched himself into the location of the catastrophe, soaring toward the source of the chaos with breathtaking velocity, vanishing from sight as he raced to save who needs saving.
In a heartbeat, he arrived at the scene, his eyes locking onto a twin-engine aircraft engulfed in a billowing cloud of smoke, teetering perilously on the brink of a catastrophic plunge into the ocean. Yet, what struck him as utterly bizarre were the two figures suspended in mid-air beneath him apearantly they have powers to be capable of such deed, their gazes fixated on the doomed plane, seemingly indifferent to the impending tragedy unfolding before them.
Then the realization hit him: these two stranger's were likely the architects of this disaster.
"——Not now, saving lives comes first".
With no time to confront the mysterious duo, sentry surged forward, propelling himself with incredible speed to intercept the falling aircraft, determined to save its occupants from their impending doom.
"Troublesome, the pilots dead," sentry muttered gravely under his breath. Having swiftly arrived at the aircraft, he now gazes upon the cockpit to find the burned lifeless bodies of the crew and others. Unperturbed, he stands outside, knowing that he possesses the power to halt the plane in its tracks, or even guide it to safety. And so, without hesitation, he resolves to take control and steer the aircraft to a secured place.
Spranging into action, swiftly he positioned himself beneath the plane as he soared alongside it. With remarkable strength, he secured his grip on the underbelly of the aircraft and hoisted it upwards. Miraculously, the plane that was hurtling towards the sea began to ascend instead, lifted by the superhero as he flew with it.
Refusing the idea of putting it on the water surface, sentry was determined to prevent it from sinking possibly of it's weight. With unwavering resolve, he made it his mission to transport the aircraft to solid ground, sparing the people inside from any possibility of danger.
In a dramatic display of power precision and control, Sentry descended from the skies, taking the twin-engine aircraft toward a distant beach, far from the bustling crowds. With the grace of a seasoned hero, he ensured that the landing was as smooth as silk, deftly avoiding any unnecessary turbulence that might rattle the nerves of those onboard.
"Alright that would do"
As the plane touched down on the golden sands, a wave of astonishment swept over the onlookers, their eyes wide with disbelief at the sight of such a magnificent feat. Without a moment's hesitation, Sentry sprang into action, rushing inside to assess the well-being of the passengers.
Bursting inside, his keen gaze sweeped across the faces of the terrified occupants, each one a canvas of raw emotion. Fear gripped the air, mingling with the sounds of muffled sobs and the heavy weight of despair, yet amidst all this, many appeared stunned, their expressions a mix of disbelief and relief, as if the very notion of survival had been a distant dream.
Realizing that mere observation would not suffice, sentry's voice rang out, filled with urgency and concern, "Is everyone alright? No one is injured, I hope?" His words cut through the tension, as if a beacon of hope.
As the words left his lips, the atmosphere grew tense, the seconds stretching into eternity as the passengers anxiously looked at sentry as if ...afraid?.
But with unwavering patience, Sentry met their gazes, ready to provide comfort or aid if needed. The silence hung heavy in the air until a small girl bravely stood up, her mother's protective grip evident as she peered at Sentry with fear and tear-filled eyes, said the girl. "Are we out of danger? Did we survived...we won't die right?", her voice trembling with fear and hope.
"Die?" Sentry exclaimed, his voice laced with astonishment, as he scanned the faces around him, questioning whether they had failed to notice the familiar skyline of Earth outside the window or if some shady event had unfolded prior to his arrival.
A nagging doubt crept into his mind, suggesting that the fear etched on their faces was directed more at him than the peril they had just escaped. Shaking off the unsettling thoughts, Sentry steeled his resolve, redirecting his attention to the little girl before him, a radiant smile breaking through the tension as he sought to reassure them through her.
he knelt down to meet the little girl's eyes—With a reassuring smile, he gently placed a hand on her shoulder, his voice calm. "Fear not, little one , the aircraft has touched down without a hitch. If your concern lies with me, rest assured, I would never harm the innocent. As a guardian of justice, it is my sworn duty to protect. You and your mother are safe, young one, along with everyone else."
Sentry rose to his full height, feeling the warmth of the girl's hand in his. Her smile ignited relief in him, and he welcomed it. "Now, my friends, isn't it time to reunite with your loved ones? They must be anxious for your return. Let's head outside together," he declared, leading the way with the girl, her mother, and the rest of the crowd in tow.
