Titanbound

Chapter 6: The Unveiling of Power

Far across the galaxy, in a dark, isolated corner of space, a colossal ship floated through the void. Its sleek, obsidian hull absorbed the light of nearby stars, making it nearly invisible against the backdrop of the universe. Inside the ship, a figure stood shrouded in shadow, observing a holographic display that flickered with data—images of Alex in his Titan form, battling the monster in the village.

This figure, known only as Mous, remained silent, his sharp, calculating eyes focused on the display. His face was obscured by a hood, but his presence exuded power and malevolence. The room was filled with the low hum of machinery, and the flickering light cast eerie reflections on the metallic surfaces around him.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he watched Alex stumble through his fight. "So... a new Titan has emerged," he murmured, his voice soft but dripping with malice. "He's untrained, clumsy, but powerful. And that... intrigues me."

At his side, a tall, armored figure stepped forward. This was one of Mous's subordinates, a powerful warrior with the eyes of a predator and the aura of a seasoned killer. "Shall I handle him?" the subordinate asked, his voice deep and menacing.

Mous raised a hand, stopping him. "Not yet. The boy is not ready for someone like you. Let him struggle a little longer. However, I do want him tested further. Send Mogeros."

The subordinate's eyes flickered with recognition at the name. Mogeros—a beast feared throughout the galaxy for its destructive power. The creature was massive, more monstrous than anything Alex had faced so far, and wielded the ability to control electricity. It could reduce entire cities to ashes in moments.

"It will be done, my lord," the subordinate replied with a bow, turning to carry out the order.

Mous watched him leave, his grin widening as his mind spun with dark thoughts. He leaned back into the shadows. "Let's see if this young Titan can survive what's coming."

Meanwhile, back on the rocky planet, the villagers were attempting to recover from the earlier monster attack. Alex, Nate, Sarah, and the old man had returned to the village's outskirts after their trip to the cave, still pondering the revelations they had uncovered about the Titans of old. Alex, in particular, was restless, his mind swirling with questions about his powers, the ancient Titans, and what it all meant for him.

Suddenly, the device in Alex's hand glowed brightly, and a loud rumble shook the ground. The villagers, already tense from the previous attack, began to scatter once again, panic rising as something massive approached from the horizon.

Alex's eyes widened as he looked up to see a dark figure approaching—another monster, but far more imposing than the one he had fought before. It was taller, bulkier, with crackling electricity coursing through its body. Sparks danced across its massive frame, and its glowing yellow eyes were filled with a savage intelligence.

Nate stared in disbelief. "That thing... it's way bigger than the last one!"

Sarah's expression didn't change, but she drew her blade, preparing for the inevitable fight. "You better not mess this one up, Titan," she said flatly to Alex.

Alex swallowed hard. He knew what he had to do. With a deep breath, he let the energy surge through his body, transforming into his Titan form once more. His massive figure loomed over the landscape as he faced the approaching creature.

Mogeros roared, the sound like a thunderclap that shook the entire village. Without warning, it unleashed a burst of electrical energy, striking the ground and sending a wave of destruction toward Alex. He managed to dodge just in time, but the sheer power of the monster's attack left him shaken.
