There is always something.... someone that drives people to do things, for Bruce Morrison, It was his Grandson.
Bruce was a humble man, he lived a somewhat peaceful life on the mountains in the Arctic and even though he was over 55 years of age, he wished for the one thing. The thing that every little boy wished for every teenager awed and every politician feared.
For one thing, it was not the massive wealth he accumulated over his life, or luxury, it wasn't strength either as he was already one of if not the single most powerful man alive. It was an adventure, a journey that would keep his blood boiling and heart-pounding as it did when he worked in the military when he battled on and on never dulling down, and on his 60th Birthday... He got his wish.
He was out on his daily training routine, jogging from the peak to the bottom and back multiple times then he saw it, a shadowy figure falling from the sky. At first, he assumed he was hallucinating, for it was very hazy, but when the figure struck the ground all the ice around it shattered, some pieces breaking, sinking, while others floating off and the impact shook the region, and from the peak of the mountain, like a little boy about to open a birthday present, he grinned and step on the icy edge," And so it begins" he says, "show me what you've got" he yelled into the distance, as he jumped.
Unlike just any man he wasn't normal, his jump dislodged a big chunk of the ice where he was standing, and he soared through the air, as he moved the clouds divided and he surpassed the height of the clouds, as of now he was able t directly view the sun " It's been a while since I've seen this" he thought to himself as he took in the beautiful scene above the clouds " this might be the last time.... but it will be worthwhile to be in a fight with whatever caused this" he said looking down at the destruction below him as he hovered above the clouds, he grinned and lets himself fall.
When he got back to the ground, most of the ice in the area had sunk. Bruce notices the water glowing, so he walked to the side of the water and took a look inside. At first, he dismisses it as nothing but after his eyes adjusted to the haze, he could make out a drowning pegasus whose wings were trapped under some ice and losing their glow. Bruce placed his foot in the freezing water and kicked upwards, the shockwave spiraled upward creating a cyclone of water. The force of the kick blew the massive chunks of ice of the wings of the pegasus. The wings shone bright again replenishing the beast's energy, so it flew out and landed behind Bruce. Bruce gathered his thoughts and said " My guess is.... you are Maximillion pegasus, the deity that took the form of his last name to prove himself due to his insecurities about strength", "that is correct" the beast replied " I'm surprised anybody still remembers me". Bruce continued " I heard something about you being able to talk to people directly in their minds.... also nobody remembers you... but me, at least I think so". "I need you to take my identity and go into hiding..... I will be reborn as a little boy, and you will receive half of my full powers .... when the boy is fully ready, you will return it to me, but I will seal the other half in the reborn vessel and he will grow up to have his own morales". Bruce suddenly took a step back " Do you really expect me just to believe that you are the real deal without proof?" he said, the pegasus started glowing before transformed into a man, he was well fit, a bit rough and sturdy but with skin of gold " is that proof enough " asked the impatient deity " of course not... show me your strength" demanded Bruce digging his foot into the icy ground. " this is a waste of my time.... but at least I'll be able to stretch out a bit" the thought to himself, he then went on to ask "so is it fight you want" asked Maximilian with a grin, " I like you... you're as straightforward and down to earth as a good friend of mine .... let's do this".
Bruce rushed in for the first blow trying to roundhouse kick Maximilian's neck, but instead of dodging or parrying Maximilian caught the foot " disappointing" he mocked, but out of nowhere his shoulder got dislocated " so this is the multi-point attack I heard of.... he even performed it without a god-like me seeing the multi flexes" Max thought to himself then smirk " I apologize for my earlier rudeness" he says relocating the shoulder " now we can really start ".
