(The scene opens to Cosmic flying outside the city. She’s heading to some wasteland looking section. She keeps flying for a few moments, looking around at the field, before she spots Danea standing over a cliff. She flies over and lands near him
Cosmic: Hey Danea.
Danea: Good to see you Comic.
Cosmic: So what did you need?
Danea: Look over there.
(Cosmic looks. Off in the distance, she spots a large mining site. Drills, cranes, various other form of mining equipment)
Cosmic: Whoa…
Danea: That there is a mine.
Cosmic: What kind of mine?
Danea: A Tetrasten mine.
(Cosmic looks over)
Cosmic: T-That’s where they get it!?
Danea: Yep. Every day they pull out more and more of that stuff, using it to power their anti-Titanian weapons.
Cosmic: T-Then what are we doing here?
Danea: I want this mine destroyed.
Cosmic: W-Wow…Jeez, thinking big huh?
Danea: Thinking big, and acting big. We’re taking it out.
Cosmic: Isn’t that… Dangerous? Considering you know…
Danea: The Tetrasten they collect has already been shipped out. The outside is safe. And besides, Bellina just told me about your new power.
Cosmic: The energy absorbing thing?
Danea: Yeah. I have a plan. I’m gonna need you to trust me.
Cosmic: What is it?
Danea: I can’t tell you yet. But you need to trust me. Do you?
Cosmic: I…I mean of course yeah, I trust you.
Danea: Good. Then come with me.
(The two fly off together)
Danea: I wanna say thanks by the way.
Cosmic: For what?
Danea: For everything you’ve done so far. The others really like you. And you’ve pulled your weight and more since you came here.
Cosmic: Aw come on now.
Danea: No I’m serious. I think you are gonna be a key player in freeing this planet.
Cosmic: Really?
Danea: Really. Not only that, but maybe you’ll be able to help out with other things in the future.
Cosmic: Like working with the Titanian government like you guys do?
Danea: Uh…yeah, something like that. Only if you want to though. No pressure.
Cosmic: Wow. Thanks Danea. I’ll keep that in mind.
Danea: I appreciate that. Now get ready. We’re in for a rough time.
(The two keep flying soon arriving over the mine)
Cosmic:...
Danea: Alright, the guards here shouldn’t be too numerous in number. They’ll be inside given they just shipped out.
Cosmic: What’s the plan?
Danea: Simple. Follow my lead.
(The two fly down and land. They then walk over to the entrance where the front looks most empty. They walk inside as Danea looks around the mine)
Danea: I can smell the sharps from the stuff they gathered here…
Cosmic: Mm…
Danea: Just feels tingly being in the entrance. Lots of Tetrasten in this place.
Cosmic: You sure this is safe?
Danea: It should be. I peaked into the mines earlier before coming here. The real danger will be when she get down to the lower area.
Cosmic: What’s in there?
Danea: Pretty much the majority of the Tetrasten veins.
Cosmic: Oh…Yuck…
Danea: Yeah…
Cosmic: How are we gonna destroy this stuff?
Danea: You’ll see.
(The two keep going in deeper and deeper)
Cosmic: So… Anything you can tell me about yourself?
Danea: Huh?
Cosmic: I mean I’ve gotten to know the others a bit. Learned about Cules sister, Lizun told me a bit of her past she regrets, Nathal’s desire to save people rather then mess around.
Danea: I see.
Cosmic: So, what about you? You got anything you wanna say?
Danea: Nothing crazy.
Cosmic: Ah come on, surely you got something. Maybe a story about how you joined this group? Met the others?
(Danea looks down for a moment. Looking in deep thought)
Danea:...
Cosmic: Danea?
Danea:.... I think we’re coming up on the site. We can talk later.
Cosmic: O-Oh, uh…right, later.
Danea: Mm.
(The two keep on walking)
Danea: Ugh…I can feel it in the air. Do you?
Cosmic: A bit. … There.
(The see an entrance. The approach. Inside it, the walls are covered with Tetrasten. Inside some Darkwatch guards are seen as technicians are seen using collected Tetrasten to make laser weapons, which they hand to the troopers. Danea and Cosmic watch this and look at hte walls)
Cosmic: Oh my god… It’s everywhere…
Danea: Yeah… Any Titanian steps into the room, they’d be dead in minutes.
Cosmic: No kidding. I feel like my head is vibrating just being nearby…
Danea: Well, it needs to be destroyed, that much is true.
Cosmic: But how?
Danea: …
Cosmic: Well what’s the plan?
Danea: Cosmic? Remember what I asked you before? Do you trust me?
Cosmic: Yeah and I said yes.
Danea: Wel I need to know again.
(Danea puts a hand on Cosmic’s shoulder
Danea: Do you trust me?
Cosmic: I do, I trust you.
Danea: Hm, good.
(Danea then walks to the entrance. Cosmic faces him)
Danea: I’m sorry.
(Danea suddenly kicks Cosmic. Cosmic yells out as she goes flying into the room, crashing into the area, taking the attention of the guards)
Guard #1: What the hell!?
(Cosmic sits up, looking around frantically)
Cosmic: D-Danea!? What the hell!?
Guard #2: Hey, a Titanian!
Guard #3: The hell is she doing here?! Is she insane?!
(As she hears that, Cosmic begins to feel the effects of the Tetrasten radiating the entire chamber)
Cosmic: Nnnn…!! No…!!
(Cosmic collapses to her hands and knees)
Cosmic: D-Damn it….!!
(A guard grabs a weapon)
Guard #1: Shoot her while she’s down!
(The guards hold up their guns and shoots orange beams at Cosmic)
Cosmic: GAAAAAH!!!
(As this goes on, Danea is seen just watching, a curious yet cold look in his eyes)
Danea:....
Danea turns and walks away)
Danea: Forgive me…
(Danea leaves the mine as Cosmic keeps getting blasted by the beams. She lets out one last scream and collapse. After a moment the beams stop)
Guard #1:... Is she dead?
(The guards go up and surround Cosmic who doesn’t move. One goes up to her, tapping her with the barrel of his gun)
Guard #3:...She seems dead to me.
Guard #1: Shoot her again, make sure.
(The guard nods and shoots a beam at her for a moment. Cosmic doesn’t react)
Guard #3:... Yep. Dead as door nail.
Guard #1: Let’s contact command.
(The guards turn and walk away. Cosmic’s body lays there for a moment. Sudden;y her eyes shoot open. An intense anger is on her eyes. Using her fists she grunts and starts to push herself up)
Cosmic: Gnnn…
(A guard turns and sees Cosmic)
Guard #2: Uhhh, guys???
(The others turn and see)
Guard #1: W-...What the!?
Guard #3: No way…! She shouldn’t be able to move with that much Tetrasten inside her! Let alone live!
(Cosmic gets on her knee. She then pushes herself on her feet. Glaring at the guards)
Guard #1: SHOOT HER!!
(The guards shoot the beams at her again. Cosmic however just stands there. Still glaring at them)
Cosmic:...
Guard #1: Wha-...K-Keep shooting!!
(The guards keep shooting, but Cosmic stands unaffected)
Guard #2: I-It’s not working!!
Guard #3: Impossible!! This is Tetrasten we’re talking about! Not to mention the radiation coming from the ore!
(Cosmic raises a fist. She punches the ground with a mighty yell. The whole mine shakes as the guards are knocked on their feet
Guard #1: S-SHE’S MONSTER!!
Guard #2: EVACUATE!!!!
(Everyone in the mines starts running away to get out of her. In a couple of Cosmc is alone in the minds, her body glowing with an orange color. She clenches her fist as puts her arms over her chest. Energy begins to build up. Cosmic lets out a loud scream as she thrusts her arms out, releasing the energy. The energy goes and shatters all the Tetrasten in the mines. Floating outside the mines, Danea is seen, hearing the explosion and seeing the wave Cosmic sent out. He looks both surprised and relieved
Danea:... It worked.
(Inside the mine, now dark from the lack light from the machines and Tetrasten, Cosmic stands there)
Cosmic:....
(Cosmic looks at her hands)
Cosmic: This…feeling… The Tetrasten. Didn’t kill me. It didn’t… Affect me.
(Cosmic looks around and then back at herself. She smiles a tiny bit to herself)
Cosmic: It didn’t affect me…it didn’t affect me!
(Cosmic jumps and laughs)
Cosmic: I’M INVINCIBLE!!!!
(Cosmic smile leaves as she remembers what happened before)
Cosmic:... Danea.
(Cosmic starts to head out of the mine)
Cosmic: He’s got some explaining to do!!
(Cosmic flies out of the mines. She goes out there and looks around. She tries to find Danea. Danea’s seen on a cliff top. He waves at Cosmic. Cosmic glares at him as she flies up. She lands on the cliff. She marches up to Danea)
Danea: Cosmic I-
(Cosmic punches Danea and he falls on the floor. He grunt in pain but shakes it off)
Danea: Okay. I deserve that.
Cosmic: Oh you deserve much more! What the hell was that back there!?
Danea: You made it out, didn’t you?
Cosmic: Don’t change the subject! You kicked me into a place we JUST said could kill us!
(Danea stands up)
Danea: I had a reason for that.
Cosmic: And what is that?!
Danea: Bellina told me about your absorption power.
Cosmic: Okay, and??
Danea: I wanted to test it.
Cosmic: By throwing me into what’s essentially a death pit!? You psycho!
Danea: It was a risk, I admit it. But it was the only way to destroy that mine.
Cosmic: The ONLY way?!
Danea: News flash Cosmic! As we said, we would die going in there! We have no equipment to protect us from the radiation! So Bellina told me about your powers. I saw a chance. I believe with your powers, it would protect you from the effects. In fact, I believe you could use the energy from it.
(Cosmic crosses her arms listening)
Danea: Whatever Nathal’s experiments, or any of that stuff you took before coming here, it changed you Cosmic. You’re unique. You’re a Titanian with none of the weaknesses.
Cosmic:... Why didn’t you tell me then?
Danea: Cause I knew you would object. And… I wasn’t sure if it would work.
Cosmic: So… You gambled on my life on a hunch??
Danea: Only to prove a theory, and that theory was proven.
Cosmic:....
Danea: Not only was it proven true, it empowered you, and destroyed Nakal’s weapon against us. It was a risk, and I wish I didn’t have to do that. But it was the best bet.
(Cosmic stands there, unsure what to think)
Cosmic: What kind of person does that? What kind of Titanian of all things makes a play on someone’s life just to make them powerful or something??
Danea: I was raised to…consider the sacrifices. Thankfully you survived, and now you’re more powerful than ever.
Cosmic:...I don’t know what to think…
Danea: I’m sorry Cosmic. I wish I didn’t have to do that but…
Cosmic: Would you consider sacrificing the rest of the team?
Danea:... I do consider a sacrifice. But I’m also a man of my word. I promised I would get my team off this planet alive.
Cosmic:.....
Danea:... I understand if you don’t forgive me. But please understand it was the best possible choice.
(Cosmic looks down for a moment, she then looks serious at Danea)
Cosmic: Never again. Understand?
(Danea is silent, but he then nods)
Danea: Never again.
Cosmic: Good. I’m gonna hold you to that.
Danea: Right.
(Cosmic nods)
Danea: Now, how do you feel?
Cosmic: I feel…strange, yet…not in a bad way.
Danea: Nothing odd about absorption?
Cosmic: No. I feel pretty much unstoppable after that experience.
Danea: How unstoppable?
Cosmic: Like I could take on the whole galaxy myself.
Danea: Now that’s the kind of force we need. Come on, let’s head back to teh city. We got more work to do.
(Before Cosmic replies she hears a noise off the distance)
Cosmic:...
Danea: You hear something?
Cosmic: Yeah… And I need to check it out.
Danea: Is it the demons?
Cosmic: I think so.
Danea: I see…Well, don’t take too long. We got important things to do.
Cosmic: I’ll make it quick. Maybe I’ll come back with something new.
(Danea nods and flies off. Cosmic looks ahead)
Cosmic So what else you got demons?
(Cosmic keeps flying until she ends up in a forest)
Cosmic: Dark, creepy forest? Hmm…
(Cosmic lands and makes a walk into th forest
Cosmic:....
(She looks around at the woods feeling eyes of animals watching her)
Cosmic: Hm…Something’s definitely off about this one…
(Cosmic keeps going looking more spotting some bones of animals)
Cosmic: All these animal signs. Remind me of….
(Cosmic hears a low growl in the wind)
Cosmic:...Don’t tell me…
(Cosmic follows th sounds. And soon she comes across another demon alter)
Cosmic:... Here we go again….
(The altar begins to release black smoke, clouding the area around Cosmic)
Cosmic: Let’s see what you got to offer this time.
(The cloud soon covers Cosmic. She struggles against for a moment before it fade and Cosmic finds a volcanic land scape, with lava, large chunks of rocks all over the place)
Cosmic: Whoa! Jeez, this place is more hardcore than the last one.
(Cosmic looks around trying to find anyone)
Cosmic: I take it I’m challenging another specter of some kind? Show your face, it makes it easier for me to pound it! So come on! Who else wants to fight me!?
(The land vibrates from violent shakes. Nebula looks around as lava spits up a bit. After a moment something shoots out of the lava with a mighty dragon roar. It lands before the same landscape Cosmic is. The smoke clears as Cosmic looks at who is before her and she glares)
Cosmic: You….
(There standing before Cosmic, a massive creature, one of that looks like a dragon of sorts. A darker looking scaled version of a foe Nebula has fought. One who was the greatest nemesis to her father Outer-Man. Beast King. Beast King looks at Cosmic. The two stare for a moment, before the Beast King roars in the air, releasing a fire stream)
Lord of the Beast: Beast King
Cosmic: Had a feeling you were gonna be the ghost of choice for me to fight!
Beast King: *growl*
Cosmic: What? Can’t speak like the last one?
(Beast King let’s out another fierece roar which Cosmic stands her ground again
Cosmic: Hmph. Fine. Nebula beat you before. And so can I!!
(Cosmic smirks as she prepares herself)
Cosmic: NOW COME ON!!
(Beast King roars and charges at Cosmic. He throws a punch, which Cosmic dodges. She throws a few of her own, hitting him. He headbutts her, pushing her back, before throwing another punch making her go bac a few feet. Beast King then runs up pulling his fist back for another punch, hitting Cosmic as she is sent back. Beast King charges at Cosmic as she grabs chunk of ground and throws it at Beast King knocking him back. Cosmic takes flight and shoots heat vision. Beast King slams his fist vanishing in black mist)
Cosmic: Tch, disappearing acts seem common with these things.
(Cosmic looks around trying to find Beast King)
Cosmic: Come out, you’re not one for hiding are you King!?
(Beast King reappears behind Cosmic. She turns and is punched being sent crashing to the ground. Cosmic looks annoyed but then looks up as Beast King is seen heading towards her with a dragon-like roar. He rams into her, crashing through th ground into the lava. Beast King is seen holding Cosmic by the neck. Cosmic then bites his hand. He lets her go and goes in for a punch. Cosmic dodges and punches him in to the gut. Then punches him twice in the face. Beast King goes to attack again, only for Cosmic to grab his arm and throws him out of the lava. Cosmic flies out as well. She spots Beast King on another chunk of land)
Cosmic: Try this on for size!
(Cosmic begins to charge up an ice beam in her hands, putting them together before she fires a beam at Beast King which hits, causing him to roar as his chest freezes over)
Cosmic: Haha! Not a fan of the cold!?
(Beast King lets out flames melting the ice. He then takes flight in the air)
Cosmic: So you can fly. Fine then.
(Cosmic flies up after Beast King)
Cosmic: Two can play at this game!!
(The two ram into each releasing explosive shockwave. They are trying to push each other back but they start throwing a flurry of punches and kicks. Soon Cosmic gets the upper hand and kicks Beast King away. He lands on the ground. He charges but Cosmic appears and knees his chin. Beast King staggers back as Cosmic comes up forming ice in her hands and blasts him point blank pushing him back. Beast King stands snarling. He then notices ice forming all around him)
Cosmic: Like I said. Nebula beat you.
(Cosmic’s hands grow frosty as she smirks)
Cosmic: And so have I.
(Beast King snarls and roars at Cosmic. He rushs at her, only for the ice to completely incase his entire body. Cosmic starts at Beast King for a moment. She holds up a fist. She shrugs and punches Beast King, shattering him)
Cosmic:...
(Beast King’s pieces land on the ground and melt, turning into black mist)
Cosmic: Barely broke a sweat…
(The black mist then rushes into Cosmic. She feels another way of instense pain, but it soon settles as reality returns to normal)
Cosmic…..
(Cosmic looks around, seeing that the altar is dismantled)
Cosmic: Well, that’s another of these things dealt with.
(Cosmic looks at herself)
Cosmic: Now, what did this one give me?
(Nebula hears snarling. She turns as she hears animal noises behind her. She turns with a glare)
Nebula: Okay, someone wanna step up and fight me?!
(Cosmic stands ready to fight before she sees two dogs of some kind walk out of the woods)
Cosmic: Oh, dogs?
(The dogs give growls at Cosmic who look serious)
Cosmic: Back off!
???: You first!
???: Yeah, this is our territory!
(Cosmic looks confused)
Cosmic:....Eh??
???: You heard us!
(Cosmic looks in shock as the voices seem to come from the dogs)
Cosmic: Di-...Did you just talk???
(The dogs stop)
Dog #1:...She understands us??
Csmic:... Y-..Yeah. I think. I can…
(The dogs look surprised)
Dog #2: W-Wow uh…that’s new.
Dog #1: Never seen a two-leg who can hear us.
Cosmic: And I’ve never heard dogs talk.
Dog #1: We’ve ALWAYS been able to talk. You just can’t hear us.
Cosmic: Well I can now!
Dog #2: Weird. Must be an alien thing.
Dog #1: Yeah this place does have all kinds of crazy characters.
Cosmic: Don’t you dogs live on this planet?
Dog #2: We came on a big spaceship, we were strays who got picked up from another place by mistake.
Dog #1: Now we’re stuck here and we’ve made this part of the forest our hom.
Cosmic: Wow. I’m sorry to hear that.
Dog #1: Ah, it’s fine. We kinda like it here.
Dog #2: Lots of places to make home, and tons of food.
Cosmi: You sure? This place looks…
Dog #1: Dark and creepy? Exactly, means it’s easy to scare people into dropping meals!
Dog #2: What he said!
Cosmic: So it would seem. Hm…
Dog #2: What are you doing out here two legs?
Cosmic: Oh. Investigating, dealing with some bad mojo, if you get what I mean.
Dog #1: Evil things?
Cosmic Evil yeah.
Dog #1: Oooh.
Dog #2: A lot of weird things are out here these days. Its smelled bad lately.
Cosmic: No kidding, with all the things I’ve seen but that’s not even the worst yet I bet.
Dog #1: What are you going to do now?
Cosmic: Now? Probably head back to meet with my friends, tell them about what happened here.
Dog #1: Tell them to be mindful of what belongs to us.
Cosmic: I will. You guys stay safe.
(Cosmic flies off)
Cosmic: Holy crap I can talk to animals.
(Cosmic thinks)
Cosmic: Opens up all kinds of new possibilities! I bet animals know some juicy secrets about the land. I’ll have to tell the others
(Cosmic flies off. The scene cuts to the hide out as the team hears the new)
Cules: That’s unreal!
Nathal: The mine is destroyed, and Cosmic is immune.
Danea: Correct.
Lizun: This is…I cannot even begin to describe it.
Bellina: Me either! A Titanian with immunity to Tetrasten?? Imagine the possibilities! With her help, we’d be removing a hazardous material any planet a Titanian colonizes!
Danea: Exactly. Not to mention her being a big help in taking out this planet’s tyrants. Without Tetrasten holding her back, the Darkwatchers stand little chance now.
Cules: We’re almost done then!
Nathal: With Nakal anyway. There’s still the demon issues.
Danea: And we’ll get to that as well. Either way, I’m positive Cosmic will be a great help with that problem too.
(Danea hears something)
Danea: Speaking of which, I think I hear her now.
(Cosmic enters the room)
Cosmic: Hey guys!
Lizun: Cupcake welcome back!
Danea: Everything okay with your investigation?
Cosmic: Yeah. And now I can talk to animals.
Danea: Ah that’s- huh?
Cules: You can what???
Cosmic: I can talk to animals now.
(The Titanians look at each other for a moment. Before looking at Cosmic)
Danea: You can talk to animals??
Cosmic: Yep. Got it from beating another demon.
Nathal: How many powers do you have???
Cosmic: I kinda lost track after my 12th.
Bellina: Fascinating. If there’s a limit, it must be very high.
Danea: Indeed. Still, nice to see you handled more demons for us.
Cosmic: Hey my pleasure. So. What’s next?
Danea: I’m running through some ideas. But we dealt a crippling blow to Nakal today. And very soon, he’s going down.
Cosmic: I like the sound of that. I’m down for whatever plan you have in store Danea.
Danea: Glad to hear it. Until I nail something down, you’re all free to go. I’ll let you know as soon as I come up with something.
Cosmic: Got it.
Cules: We’ll resume work boss.
(The Titanians all leave the room. As Cosmic walks down the hall, Lizun appears from behind grabbing her in a hug)
Lizun: Hey Cupcake!
Cosmic: Heheheh, hey Lizun.
Lizun: How’re you feeling after that whole mine thing?
Cosmic: Now? Feeling better than ever.
Lizun: Wow that’s good to hear! You’re doing so much better since we first met.
Cosmic: Yeah I think I can handle just about anything.
Lizun: Ooooh bold words.
Cosmic: Heh, I guess I’m getting bold like you wanted me to be.
Lizun: Good. I like bold.
(Lizun then smiles and pokes Cosmic’s cheek)
Lizun: Though I found your shyness adorable.
Cosmic: Pfft, as if I was that shy.
Lizun: Oh you were. But now you’re just a tough little softie.
Cosmic: Me? Cute and soft? What makes you think that?
Lizun: A better question, what isn’t about you is cute?
Cosmic: I’m not-
Lizun: Yes you are. Just look at your cute face.
(Lizun squeezes Cosmic’s cheeks)
Cosmic: A-Ah hey!
Lizun: So squishy and adorable! It’s like tugging on putty!
Cosmic: C-Cut that out you!
Lizun: No!
Cosmic: I-I mean Lizun, don’t-
(Lizun tugs on Cosmic’s cheeks again)
Lizun: Cuuuuute!
(Cosmic shakes free and jumps away, standing on guard)
Cosmic: H-Hands off the face!
Lizun: Oh? Off the face eh?
Cosmic: Heh, yeah.
Lizun: Fine by me.
(Lizun raises her hands and smirks as she teasingly wiggles her fingers)
Lizun: I can put them elsewhere for some fun.
Cosmic: You and Nebula’s friend NT would really get along with the way you act.
Lizun: And you have to take me to Earth sometime.
Cosmic: I would. But… You know.
Lizun: Mm…Right, forgot about that.
Cosmic:...
Lizun: Still, there will be opportunities in the future. If anything, maybe Titania will send us there one day.
Cosmic: Would be cool to see. You’d like it.
Lizun: Not as much as I like playing with you.
Cosmic: Somehow I knew you’d say that.
(Lizun smirks and takes Cosmic’s hand)
Lizun: Come, let’s have a little girl fun in my room.
Cosmic: Alright then.
(Lizun leads Cosmic to her room…)
TO BE CONTINUED….
