SCION THE PROTECTOR

Lauin them sent his mind out to Captain Universe and told him it was time. He turned to Bosnos and signalled the him to grab the celestial seed, Bosnos was well aware of what Lauin intended to do and he had no qualms about it. Lauin then ignited the octagonal core within his body, it had a blackhole whirling within so she shattered it and unleashed the blackhole,

However since his power was linked to the Exterminator, when he shattered his core, the same thing was mirrored on the Etxterminator's core, however the exterminator had a galaxy within his core the resulting energy wave was too powerful which in turn was his question to survive.

Due to the energy difference Lauin would dry out before the Exterminator did at which time he could siphon more power from the celestial life seed he obtained from the planet's core and regain his previous power without Lauin as a weakness. But since he knew that, then that means that Lauin also knew that so he had planned in advance, the moment their cores exploded Bosons swooped in and obtained the celestial life seed from the Exterminator,

This made him want to try reforming earlier which would only make him reform Lauin as well, Bosnos couldn't interfere because if he even got close enough to the Exterminator it could summon power from the life seed and regain its vitality. Lauin had also planned for that eventuality as at that very instant, there was a massive spatial warp as Leonid arrived with Earth's mightiest heroes.

They saw the stalemate between Lauin and the Exterminator and the moment Bosnos saw them he told them to eliminate the Exterminator, they didn't delay their attacks ofcourse as they instantly unleashed their powers on the Exterminator. Even with their combined might ot took them close to an hour to finally extinguish the last of the exterminator.

The battle had ended, however as they turned to see Lauin they discovered that he too was dead, Bosnos told them that Lauin and the exterminator had a symbiotic link, where Lauin kept it alive and as long as Lauin himself was alive, the Exterminator could never die. However when Lauin is dead then it can be killed as well. He gave his life to this fight as a way of atoning for his sins.

Sins he wasn't even accountable for in the first place, Bosnos tells them that if he had gotten the summons sooner then he probably could have saved Lauin, he could have told him that Ziran his friend wasn't actually a celestial but an exterminator and maybe, just maybe he would have survived this ordeal.

Everyone was sad, although they didn't actually know the guy they had been in the business long enough to understand his situation, he was taken advantage of simply because he didn't have sufficient knowledge about celestials and exterminators, and he ended up paying the price for it.

But as they were grieving, they weren't alone out there, Lauin was still present, his body was dead but he wasn't gone, he could still see all of them. He could also still see the cosmic entities as they turned away from his universe, the problem was solved and his universe was saved, suddenly Fulcrum appeared,

Bosnos sensed his presence but couldn't see him, Fulcrum ordered Bosnos to keep quiet about his findings, however Bosnos wasn't the only one sensing something, Starbrand and Captain Universe both sensed something but they just couldn't see it. That was the power of the Fulcrum, he could shield himself from cosmic awareness though not completely.

This was a cosmic ability meant to detect higher beings or danger to the host, he couldn't hide from it entirely but he could cloud its sense around him, Fulcrum turned to Lauin and told him that his mission is complete, at this time he can choose to leave this world and go to the afterlife.

Or he could choose to return to the world of the living and keep struggling, Lauin was shocked to discover that he had a choice, he thought the dead dont get choices about their next journey but he was being given a choice, he humbly asks the Fulcrum to explain and the Fulcrum tells him that the life he had lived, the life he knew wasn't real.

Mortal though he was, his body was simply a vessel holding the soul of a celestial, that is the reason his soul pulled the Exterminator's core to itself because they were connected, Lauin was the soul of the developing celestial seed within planet earth. He was sent to live a mortal life until the celestial was hatched at which time his soul would merge with his true body and his power would be awakened.

The Exterminator sped up the process and as such his mortal body was transformed into the celestial, however with the death of his mortal body comes the chance for him to return to his true form, the exterminator has fed on majority of the energies within the celestial seed, naturally the celestial was meant to hatch within 60 years however with 90% of its energy gone it would be close to a million years before it hatched,

That was the natural process but it was also too slow, on the contrary Lauin could forge his own way and grow into his own self, if granted his true body right now he would be incredibly weak in celestial terms but a celestial he would be. It would take massive amounts of power to return him to his full strength but if he was willing that path was also available to him.

Lauin thought for a while, he could still sense his variants. If he entered his true body all that would be gone. He would be too weak for his mind to break the dimensional barrier and reach out to them, so it would be ages before he could contact them ever again.

However contact them he still wanted to, so he made his choice, they seemingly detected his and sent their messages to him, they weren't dumb, they knew their recent power upgrade came from him, when he gained his power their cycle was completed and as such their powers rose to their full potential, without his awakening they were powerful but still lacked something.

Of course they wouldn't want him to die as that would break the cycle returning them to their weak state, but as long as he existed even in his weak state he still had access to his power which meant their cycle was complete of course they also sensed his predicament to they vowed to help, with their power it was quite easy to transcend transdimensional space.

Infact one of them had even created a place outside space and time, this was a gathering point to all the Lauins in the multiverse, some of them were still relatively weak and couldn't join but they would join later on, Lauin could sense this place after they told him about it but he couldn't travel there on account of him being dead, however the strongest among his kind gathered and sent aid, suddenly a wormhole of sorts manifested around Lauin's 1200 meter tall dead body.

The body was absorbed and destroyed in the wormhole however it wasn't transported but more like broken down to the energy level, the Exterminator's body was seemingly pulled in as well but as it got closer it was shattered as well and turned into more pure energy.

The energy started comdensingband solidifying into a human form six feet tall, the celestial life seed Bosnos had taken also detached from him and as he thought of regaining it Fulcrum manifested before him stopping him from doing that, the celestial life seed entered and fused with this newly forming form and it was transformed into his new celestial life core just as it was always meant to be.

The core drew in all the power from the disintegrated bodies and reformed Lauin his body, his costume emerged on his body once more, his eyes opened within his helmet and he was reborn. However reviving him had taken alot of power and in that moment he passed out.

Bosnos reveals to the heroes present the status of Lauin, he was a depowered celestial, and he was the celestial meant to hatch out of the Earth before the interruption of the Exterminator, now he has been merged with his true body although he lost 95% of his power and he is currently weak but he won't always be.

With that he warps out of the place and he isn't the only one, Leonid glows with bright light blinding everyone and when the light fades, Leonid is back to his old self only improved, the unipower had solved some of the discrepancies that came with his being the only living machine.

He could now revive himself and several other Eternals without risking the lives of the innocent human population, rather he now fed on possibilities, to resurrect the Eternal he would absorb the energy from an Eternal's potential possibility in their life, past or future and use that to return them to life.

However this also placed a limit on how many times an Eternal can be resurrected as one's life could only have so many possibilities. This would also help reduce on the potential realities spawning from said possibilities.

This was all good but it was nothing to the rest of the heroes , the good thing that came from the departure of the unipower was that they were nolonger at the edge of the solar system, they reappeared in earth's high orbit and Lauin was still passed out, Leonid attempted to take him away but he was stopped by iron man, Leonid says that Lauin is his friend and he simply seeks to take good care of him.

Iron man says that he understands but Lauin is the only human Celestial the world or even universe has ever seen, he is an infant celestial originating from the earth's core so maybe it's better that he is taken care of by his own kind.

At that instant as they are still arguing on how to deal with him, Maria simply flies off to Lauin, grabs him and flies him to the Peak also known as the Sword space station.

This was the home of Alpha flight, her native team. Of course the heroes were left with no other option but follow however not all of them did. Starbrand and Nightmask returned home,

Blue Marvel returned to his under sea lab in the Marianna trench which also worked as their home, Spectrum, Captain marvel and Iron Man went to the peak while Quasar returned to the Shield Helicarrier where she was stolen from.

The fight was over and the crisis was resolved at atleast that is what it simply appeared to them, unbeknownst to them an insect like monster swarm was flying to the Earth several light years from the Milky way galaxy, he had detected the birth of a new celestial, this birth however didn't follow the standard nomes of celestial reproduction and it was coming to feast on the celestial's energies.

In the Sword space station Abigail Brand was holding a meeting with Captain marvel, Captain America, Ironman, Spectrum and Dr Strange. The heroic community had obviously heard of an infant celestial manifesting in earth in the form of an eighteen year old young man.

They knew of his fight and victory against the Exterminator although the heroes had chosen to ignore his involvement in the arrival of the Exterminator, they believed what Bosnos had told them, in reality it wasn't truly his fault that this happened to him.

It had been five days since they recieved Lauin but he still hadn't regained consciousness, they were starting to wonder if he will ever wake up at all.

Despite his impressive abilities that he had displayed he was still dead for a few minutes, sure he managed to rebuild and revive his own body and form but they had no way to be certain all of him had returned and they were starting to believe he hadn't.
