(Earth-4) The Nexus Crisis (Prelude)

[Batman]

The Universe...

The Universe encompasses billions upon billions of stars. Each star is home to an estimated 6-12 smaller planets that orbit around each star. In a universe so vast, in a pocket of stars a dark entity awakens from millions of years of its slumber. Upon it's awakening it feels the need to explore its surroundings, to gaze once more with what unknown dimensional senses it has acquired through creation. A vapid cloud slowly drifts, its color is a pallet of a deep blue inside the epicenter of the ghastly cloud of gasses and particles with incandescent shades of blue poached by the illumination from the surrounding stars. It lingers upon the sensation of awareness, to know it is and to know that they are. A feeling of self discovery, a Picasso of self achievement.

The Nexus

The epicenter erupts into a glorious novae, a cataclysm that releases a shock waves of plasma, solar radiation, and lightning. Surrounding planets are sundered by the extraordinary force. Planets in
the wave are caught in a vacuum pulling them towards the epicenter with a hypnotic trance of an insect lured instinctively into the maw of a predator. Tendrils of plasma and lightning wrap around the floating rock entrapping it as it is pulled closer towards the fiery center. The planets atmosphere begins to burn and soon betrays its inhabitants as droughts plague its eco-system. Oceans begin to lower deeper as forests become fragile and become ablaze at foolishness. The core of the planet loses its layers of pressurization and erupt as the core melts through rock. A thousand mile chasm fills what was once an ocean.

As the tendril of lightning and plasma squeezes the large hunk of rock shatters into fragments that are discarded like cookie crumbs. Its juicy molten core falls into the vacuum of the epicenter, the magma of the planets core pours into the eye of the storm like a glass of orange juice fueling its burning energy. As the flow of magma spills across space, we can see this is the fate of one helpless planet but as the storm feasts thousands of tendrils reach out of the storm and wrap themselves around planets and like a preying spider it lunges itself towards the next with the only sign of its presence resting in the veil of blue and purple clouds drifting into and invading new territories.
