"What’s going on?" a titan asked, looking around in confusion.
His massive fra shifted uneasily, the ground trembling slightly under his weight as he scanned the familiar yet suddenly alien surroundings of Reign’s castle, the towering spires casting long shadows in the dual sunlight.
One minute he was giving instructions to his employees on how to manage his business, his voice booming through the opulent boardroom filled with holographic displays and scurrying assistants, and the next he found himself at the castle of Reign.
The abrupt shift left him disoriented, the scent of polished marble and ancient stone replacing the sterile air of his office.
"What’s going on? Why am I here?" the titan heard the confused voice of yet another titan, echoing across the vast plaza like distant thunder.
Looking around, he was surprised to find several titans around the castle looking as confused as him.
Their colossal forms dotted the landscape, so rubbing their temples, others muttering under their breaths, the collective bewildernt thickening the atmosphere like a gathering storm.
"Hey. Can soone tell what’s going on?" one of the titans asked, his tone laced with frustration, arms gesturing wildly at the unexpected assembly.
Boom!
The attention of every titan was drawn toward the source of the sound that was made by an unknown entity that had fallen.
The impact sent vibrations rippling through the stone courtyard, cracks spiderwebbing outward from the point of contact, dust billowing up in a hazy cloud.
"No need to be asking questions in confusion. Let’s just have a good ol’ brawl," Ego said to the group of titans, his voice carrying a mocking lilt that cut through the tension like a sharpened blade.
His words added further to their confusion, brows furrowing on their enormous faces, exchanges of puzzled glances passing between them in the charged silence.
"Who the hell are you? And what are you doing here?" a titan general under Reign asked Ego, walking out of the castle.
His armored boots clanged against the steps, each stride exuding authority, his hand resting on the hilt of a massive sword strapped to his side.
Ego didn’t respond to the general’s words, grinning only.
The smile stretched across his features, revealing a hint of sharp teeth, his eyes glinting with unrestrained amusent amid the growing hostility.
"You are all here. Now let’s get to the fun part," Ego grinned, a portal leading to the sanctuary opened by him.
The rift tore open with a resonant hum, swirling energies framing the gateway, casting flickering lights across the assembled titans’ faces.
From the portal, Kelvin and King appeared, leading a group of immortal knights.
Their ergence was seamless, boots hitting the ground in unison, the knights’ armor gleaming with an otherworldly sheen under the galaxy’s lights.
"Hah. Fresh air and sound of a good fight. Can finally release so pent-up stress," King smiled, massaging his arm.
His muscles flexed beneath his skin, the anticipation evident in the way he cracked his knuckles, a low chuckle rumbling from his chest.
"The two of you should support . The rest of you follow the space clone to conquer the galaxy," Ego instructed, moving closer to King and Kelvin.
His steps were purposeful, closing the distance with a casual confidence that belied the impending chaos.
"Did these ants just make ntion of conquering our galaxy? Quite the bold statent to make," a titan muttered, walking toward the group as he grew in size till he was in his full-grown titan form.
His body expanded with a series of deep, grinding sounds, shadows lengthening as he towered over the plaza.
His size was a hundred tis larger than the group, his form blotting out portions of the sky, the ground quaking with each ponderous step.
Ego and his company looked no different from ants before the titan, tiny figures dwarfed by the imnse scale, yet standing unyielding in the face of such overwhelming presence.
"Now. Watch squash you all like the bugs you all are," the titan said with confidence, raising his leg as he dropped it purposely over Ego and his group.
The motion was deliberate, the air whistling as the massive foot descended like a falling teor.
The titan stomped his feet. A satisfied look on his face for getting the job done.
Smugness etched into his features, he anticipated the crunch of victory under his sole.
"Hmm?" the titan muttered in confusion, his expression shifting to bewildernt as he glanced downward.
For so reason, he couldn’t feel his feet touching the ground he was standing on after the stomp.
An unnatural suspension held him, the expected impact absent, leaving a void of sensation that unnerved him.
"Quite the arrogant bastard. Thinks size is everything," Ego said with an annoyed look, his hand stretched.
Irritation flickered in his eyes, his arm extended upward, channeling an invisible force that halted the descent effortlessly.
He held the foot of the titan, ensuring it never dropped, the imnse weight suspended as if by strings, the air around his palm shimring with restrained power.
"King. Do the honor," Ego instructed, his voice steady, already shifting his focus to the broader fray.
"Was waiting for the go-ahead," King nodded his head with a smile on his face, eagerness lighting up his features as he prepared to engage.
His chains manifested from his arm, wrapping around them.
The links materialized with a tallic rasp, coiling like living entities, pulsing faintly with inner energy.
From the edge of the chains were his twin blades, sharp edges glinting nacingly, forged from dark alloy that seed to absorb the light around them.
Swinging his chain, he wrapped it around the gigantic legs of the titan, using it as a support to scale the body of the titan.
The chain bit into the flesh, providing secure holds as King ascended rapidly, muscles straining with each pull.
The titan felt a crawling sensation that made him feel uncomfortable, like insects skittering across his skin, irritation building into a frantic itch he couldn’t ignore.
He swung his arm toward King, who felt no different from an annoying bug to him.
The massive limb cut through the air with a whoosh, aid to swat the intruder away.
