Date: January 5th, 2025, 8:27 P.M.
Location: NASA's rocket launch station.
Situation: NASA's rocket launch to the moon in 50 years.
"Are you ready?!" A male NASA employee says, looking excited for the launch and putting his thumbs up at the astronaut in front of him.
The astronaut is fully suited up and is a man named Noah Berkley. He's 30 years old, having fair skin, brown hair in a Textured Quaff Mohawk hairstyle. He has a brown beard as well with the voice of a fully grown man. He also has green eyes.
"Yeah." He says in a nervous tone. His voice sounding electronic and radio like through the spacesuit.
"Don't be nervous." The NASA employee responds with.
"You can do this!" He follows up with, trying to sound encouraging.
"Yeah," Noah says,
"yeah!" He follows up with.
"I can do this! No, I will do this!" Noah declares with certainty.
"Alright, everyone!" Another NASA employee says, this one being female.
"We're about to launch in 5!" The female NASA employee yells.
"Alright, you can do this." The male NASA employee says as he steps back.
"4!" The female NASA employee continues.
Noah nods and gets into the rocket.
"3, 2!" The female NASA employee yells.
Noah takes a deep breath and braces himself as he sits in the piolet seat. and...
"1!" The female NASA employee yells as she presses the launch button.
The rocket takes off into the sky. it slowly loses gravity as it reaches out of the atmosphere. It's smooth sailing for a while. Noah is mesmerized by the beauty of space as he moves closer and closer to the moon. But then...
"AH!" Noah grunts as he feels a large thump suddenly!
He's shocked to find a dent in the side of the spaceship! A large meteor hit it faster than the speed of light! The ship is going down quickly and is shaking!
Back at the NASA headquarters, the staff notices that the camera's on the ship cut out and there is no contact with Noah! They try and try but they can't and the ship is going down and burning on the opposite side that the meteor hit, moving faster than the speed of light! But, instead of dropping to the Earth, it's moving out of the milky way galaxy, out of the infinite universe they live in, and into the infinite amounts of infinite multiverses where all possibilities exist as parallel universes! With the universe they live in being one of the many universes but then it keeps going beyond that! Infinite sets of infinite amounts of infinite multiverses, each universe having it's own sets of infinite amounts of infinite multiverses, each universe in this entire cosmological structure being it's own reality!
The ship is moving faster, and faster, and faster, beyond spacetime, beyond all realities, and beyond the very concept of speed itself!
Due to this speed, Noah is about to die or at least be knocked unconscious! And before he loses consciousness, he sees a black hole flipped horizontally and there's an infinite tower with sets, coming out of it! Each one being wider and on top of the last ! And as he is sucked into the black hole and reaches spaghettification! He blacks out...
He then wakes up with his helmet off and broken along with his suit battered, in a foggy wasteland that seems to be infinite, and unending.
"Wha-what is this place...?" Noah asks himself being confused.
He then feels a presence behind him. Then he turns around frantically and sees an entity made out of dark purple shadow.
It attacks him and he runs and runs as fast as he can, but it's not enough. The entity trips him and he falls to the ground, seeing his life flash before his eyes, until...
The entity screeches as it fades away leaving Noah confused. But then he looks up.
He sees a man, about 6'3", with a perfect build. He's fair skinned, wearing a bandages over his eyes making a blind fold wear the loose bandages flow in the wind. His blind fold is mostly covered though by the large bamboo Jingasa he wears on his head. Under the hat he has long black hair down to his shoulders. He also wears a dark blue yukata robe over his torso and down to his waist and a black karate belt over his waist. He also wears dark blue loose fitting pants along with bandages down his legs and white socks along with Geta's on his feet. He also has bandages down his forearm and down his hands to the point where it's covering half of his fingers, the loose bandages flowing in the wind again. He has more bandages over his face from his mouth down to his neck, the the loose bandages flowing in the wind. He has a katana sash on the left side of his waist with the actual katana in his right hand with the pointed end of the blade facing Noah.
"Who... Who are you...?" Noah says, confused,
"I am..." The man responds, his voice is moderately deep and a tad bit horse.
He continues, "The king of..."
"The Stray Empire!"
