_______________________
Five years, thousands of battles, billions of Federation and tens of billions of Kree deaths. One of the deadliest conflicts to have ever existed in the Universe in terms of the number of casualties.
But Hector was still hailed as the greatest general to have ever existed since his side lost not so much. In addition to that, the more he won, the stronger and more prosperous the Federation would get.
This meant he had many more resources to cope with the increasing rehabilitation expenses. After all, the war ravaged the economy of various planets, and he had to help or else mass starvation would occur.
But now, it was finally coming to an end on the ravaged planet of Titan.
...
As he had commanded, the moment the entire Federation force arrived close to Titan; an indiscriminate one-sided war took place. Federation open fired, with Jean, Diana, Moony, Captain Marvel and Adam flying around destroying ships by themselves.
But Hector took a smaller ship to reach the surface of the planet. Just from its look, he could see the planet had lost all of its bloom, now looking orange and yellow, as compared to green and blue.
He didn't even understand how overpopulation could do this to a planet? And that's in one generation, though how old was Thanos?
"Let's get this over with. Do not land. Just let me drop down," he ordered the pilot of the small ship.
Once they were over the sky where he was supposed to land, he straight up jumped out. There was nobody to show how awesome he was, so he made a normal soft landing to not create too much dust.
"Oh my, you brought your boyfriend with you? Or maybe girlfriend, I don't know which one of you is the girl in this relationship." He mocked the two people standing before him.
Ronan the Accuser and En Dwi Gast, the Grandmaster, one had a hammer-like weapon, and the other had a gun.
Hector was not overwhelmed by the two, not at all. He stood tall, arms crossed, his hair and beard awesomely fluttering in the dying air on the planet. "Two versus one? I guess, thanks for the compliment. But I am shocked by your persistence, Grandmaster. It has been decades since that event on your planet. I thought you'd have forgotten about it,"
Grandmaster sneered, "I have lived for millions of years. Time flows differently for me. I remember things longer, and I always have the last laugh."
"Great, then your defeat will taste even worse to you. What about you, Ronan? You must be seething in rage right now, seeing the empire crumble. And what's with calling me here? Did your master not join you?"
"I will be heading to Earth after I kill you," Ronan seethed. He didn't allow himself to visibly show anger, as that was against the etiquettes of a noble.
*CRACK*
Hector snapped his fingers in preparation, "I would have wished you good luck, but it doesn't sound nice coming from a hell lord. Anyway, let us fight now and end this!"
*BOOM*
Grandmaster fired his gun first. It was a model that Hector had never seen before, and now he understood why. He was able to dodge the blast, but then it collided with tall building rubble behind him.
*WOOSH*
It looked as if the building first imploded into itself, then exploded with great force, throwing everything around. And the fact it did that to the whole building, this gun was absolutely powerful. ~I want it,~ Hector muttered.
*BAM* *BAM*
Hector started, running like a cheetah, sidestepping each blast the Grandmaster sent his way. Every time his feet pressed on the ground, a crack would appear on it.
His speed kept on increasing, and soon enough, all Grandmaster could see was a blur coming toward him. He went mad with his gun and even turned some dials to full. "You can't win against this. I made this weapon with millions of years of research. It shoots literal black holes."
*WOOSH*
In an instant, Hector was a foot away from him, "The only black hole there's going to be around your eye," *BOOM*
He smashed his fist in the Grandmaster's face, particularly on his right eye. He used all of his strength, evident by the veins that had popped on his hand. It connected comically with his face so fast that as Grandmaster's body was being pushed back, the dust on his hair and clothes stayed behind. Newton's laws at work there.
Like a wind passing, Grandmaster's body was thrown away. It collided with one building but then crossed over and hit another one. It kept on going, hitting more and more buildings until Hector could not see when he stopped.
"Well, that does it." He smugly turned around to focus on Ronan. He had no idea what power this blue man had, super healing? Super strength? Probably all of them.
"What animosity do we have?" Ronan asked him. After all, he was still in deep mental pain. The whole Kree Empire was gone now. It was painfully hard to cope with.
Hector scoffed, "The infiltration mission, I did it for the Nova Corps, yet you came after me. But then I saw how you enslave planets and commit genocide. At that point, it simply didn't matter if I had beef with you. Only your end could satisfy me. Galactic Federation cannot exist as long as the Kree Empire remains."
"And what values do you stand for?"
"Freedom and Justice."
"They can be subjective," Ronan argued.
"Indeed. And that is why I am here, to kill you and end this war. To establish a new Galactic Order. Don't worry about your race. I won't eradicate them. I will just have to re-educate them. Let them know on whose blood their empire flourished. Let's fight now, Ronan. I don't have time to waste."
Both of them leapt at each other. Hector didn't use the Soul Stone this time, believing he could quickly kill this guy.
His first punch connected with Ronan's shoulder, but the guy was able to turn a bit only to make it brush past him. He immediately lifted his hammer up and struck downwards.
It was not a threat to Hector, or so he thought. He quickly shielded himself with his elbow. *BAM*
"Argh..." he felt some pain in his arms, and the hammer kept on getting heavier and pushing him downwards, "What an amazing tool,"
"HAAA..." Ronan roared and put all his strength into pushing it down.
Hector tried to counter it with his strength. Initially, it was moving back up, but then the hammer became heavier, forcing him to his knee. Now, it was worth mentioning that Hector could easily destroy tanks with this physical body, so if the hammer could hold him down like this, it must ve weighing an unimaginable amount.
"You can not fight the Cosmi-Rod, Washington," Ronan sneered. His eyes had turned red by now, looking as if they'd burst at any moment.
"Ugh... what the, why can't I push this u- WAIT! FUCK! Is that the power stone?" Hector cursed as soon as he noticed something purple shining inside the hammer.
"TAKE THIS!"
*BOOM*
All of a sudden, a surge of power pushed Hector to the ground even further. He could not keep holding it away, so he jumped to the side. The hammer fell and touched the sand, sending a blue energy wave into the ground. But that caused something catastrophic. The ground started to shake madly, and then cracks appeared. It was like a chain reaction that occurred all across the planet.
In no time, fissures appeared and sprayed lava like a fountain. As far as they could see, these scenes were becoming common. From the space, all saw how the cracks spread around the surface of the red-sand planet, which now started to look like a planet filled with fire. It was a scary sight due to how quickly it spread around.
"I showed you a mere example of what I shall do with Earth once you are dead. I will show them your corpse, as the one who brought my wrath upon your people. This is how Earth will die. In fire and misery, no one shall remember that a planet called Earth existed. It shall remain a mystery.
"ACCEPT YOUR FATE!" Ronan lifted the hammer up and over his head to slam it down again, but this time on Hector.
Hector swiftly took out the shining yellow soul gem from his pocket and smirked, "Haha. Fool, two can play this game—and I am better!"
