Alex and Ben were running through the streets, laughing and causing mischief as they dodged puddles and splashed through the rain. It was one of those carefree days where they felt like they could do anything.
"Watch out, Ben!" Alex called out, grinning as he playfully shoved his friend. Ben, laughing, sidestepped just in time to avoid tripping.
"You're lucky I'm fast!" Ben shot back with a smirk, narrowly dodging another playful push.
"Yeah, yeah. You wouldn't have caught me anyway," Alex teased, and they both raced down the street toward Alex's house.
As the rain began to pour harder, the atmosphere shifted. The lighthearted mood gave way to a more peaceful, reflective feeling. The distant rumble of thunder echoed across the sky, and the air grew cooler. But the boys didn't mind—they were headed for the warmth and safety of Alex's home.
Reaching the door, Alex pushed it open, and the warm light spilled out into the rain-soaked world. "Hey, is Grandpa home?" Alex called out as they stepped inside, dripping wet.
His grandfather, sitting by the fire, looked up with a knowing smile. "Causing trouble again, huh? But I suppose that keeps you two busy."
Ben, always the independent one, shrugged with a grin. "Just a bit of fun. We were heading back before we got completely soaked."
The grandfather chuckled and glanced out the window at the downpour. "Seems like the perfect time for a story, doesn't it?"
Alex, always eager for a good tale, was quick to speak up. "Wait, can you tell us the story of the Cosmic Force again?"
Ben raised an eyebrow. "The Cosmic Force? Really?"
Alex's grandfather let out a soft sigh, a fond smile tugging at his lips. "I've told you that story so many times already. Are you sure you don't want to hear something else?"
But Alex nodded eagerly. "Yes, I'm sure. Please, Grandpa. I want to hear it again."
With a small chuckle, his grandfather leaned back in his chair. His voice became more serious as he began the story. "Alright, then. If you insist.
"Long ago, a group of individuals with extraordinary abilities existed, but they were feared and misunderstood. Wrongfully accused by malevolent knights, they were banished and they disappeared from the world, leaving behind only legends.
The first of these legends was ShadowNinja, a master of shadow manipulation. He could control not just shadow but also corruptions and impurities. In his shadowy form, he could hover and move with unparalleled stealth.
The second was Rtx, who possessed Stellar Mastery, allowing him to harness the power of stars and celestial bodies. He could summon solar flares, generate gravitational fields, and unleash cosmic energy for devastating attacks and defenses.
The third member was Maxspeed, who had Sand Dominion. He could control sand at will, shaping it into weapons, barriers, or even constructs. Maxspeed could also merge with the sand, allowing him to travel swiftly across the battlefield or form massive sandstorms that could consume everything in their path.
Battle-lord, the fourth, wielded Reality Warping. He could reshape the fabric of existence, altering physics, time, and space within limited areas. Battle-lord could create alternate realities, shift probabilities, and even bend the laws of nature temporarily to control the outcome of battles or events.
The fifth, Magic-lord, had the unique ability to create or transfer objects and beings to specific locations at will.
Axq_d was the sixth member, known for his lightning powers. He could generate lightning bolts from his eyes and form serpents of lightning as his weapons.
The seventh, Ego, had the power to influence the probability of events, creating or altering outcomes in any given situation.
Blaze, the eighth member, wielded Chrono-energy, allowing him to manipulate time and space with incredible precision.
The ninth member, whose identity remains a secret, possesses Eclipse Mastery, an extraordinary ability to control both solar and lunar energy. He can harness the power of eclipses to create immense energy blasts, manipulate light and shadow, and form protective barriers. In addition, he can shapeshift into other people, though only his hair or eye color can change, keeping him identifiable yet still able to blend in. His powers peak during eclipses, making him an unpredictable and formidable force.
Wolfgang the tenth member Known for his Illusory Mirage, Mind Disruption, Sound Manipulation, Cloak of Shadows, Temporal Distortion, and Flash Step. His ability to cause illusions and manipulate perceptions makes him a formidable member of the Cosmic Force.
Together, these ten beings became known as the Cosmic Force. Their story is one of great power and mystery, and their return is awaited by those who believe in their legend.
