A dark shadow looms over the Earth as it grows increasingly darker. A giant meteor spews lava from its exterior as the lava quickly cools by the second. The meteor was the size of the Earth itself and probably weighed as much as well. It seemed to be the end of the Earth, the doomsday event that will make the planet die. But, between the Earth and the meteor, stands him.

“You have to get out of here, it’s no use! It’s going to destroy everything!”

A masculine voice can be heard from the man’s ear, as an earpiece was placed there. He wore a large metallic suit that brought his size to be tenfold his actual size. A suit with red and black coloring schemes with large scrapes itching throughout the entire suit. But, his face could be seen, the man had pure black hair and a bushy beard as if he was a dwarf from a fantasy realm. 

“You have to get out of there, you’ll die!”

Another voice emerged, this time being feminine. His eyes peer back to his earpiece before looking back at the meteor, he was a couple of hundred meters away from the actual meteor but it was coming at rapid speed. Just then, he decided what he was going to do.

His suit armor’s hands started to stretch out in front of him, as the release of air compression would be heard whilst doing this. His eyes were blocked by his air, and yet, he could see clearly what he was going to do. He was determined to do this.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

An intense blast of radiant energy released from the gauntlets that shined the exterior of the suit. The compressed energy seeped into the meteors surface, as if it was spreading like a virus inside of it. Then, only a few seconds later.

Boom.

The meteor exploded or was in a state of explosion before suddenly...it grew smaller, and smaller and smaller into the man’s hands. But it was as if the meteor stopped in time as it was frozen into a state that it would be shown before exploding.

He held the small orb of the meteor within his palm, as it floated just above it and smiled.

“Oh no, you’re not thinking of doing that-”

“You can’t survive the impact, you’ll die!”

The voices erupted from his earpiece. He was going to take the force of the meteor to prevent it from hitting the Earth. He looked over his forearm to plug some coordinates of an unknown location.

“No! Don’t do this!”

The feminine voice yelled, her voice breaking as she already knew the outcome for this, she knew that he would go through with this, and he would sacrifice himself for his sake. For that was the ‘Hero’s Way'.

A silence was instilled, as he slowly opened his mouth, a voice finally erupting from the man.

“From my ashes, the new King of Heroes is born.”

And then, he finally entered the coordinates, never to be seen. The planet was saved, but at what cost.
