Wakanda.
The Omnitrix didn't flash green.
It erupted into a deep, silent black — a nebula that swallowed light itself.
The battlefield went quiet. Not the quiet of a pause. The quiet of something fundamental changing. Wind stopped. Fire extinguished. Thanos's dark-red reality curtain — capable of rewriting physics — froze in place before the expanding darkness.
The black light cleared.
Jake was gone.
In his place floated a humanoid silhouette — pitch black, but containing an entire cosmos. Brilliant stars drifted across his body. Galaxies spiraled slowly in his torso. Three sharp horns rose from his head. His eyes were two points of white starlight, devoid of any emotion a mortal mind could parse.
Alien X. Celestialsapien.
He floated. Motionless. Silent.
"What... is this?"
Thanos looked at the starry-sky figure, and for the first time in his existence, felt something cold move through the marrow of his bones. The four Infinity Stones on his Gauntlet vibrated — not in warning.
In fear.
"Bluffing!"
Thanos crushed the unease. Roared. Four Stones blazed.
"Before the Infinity Laws — YOU KNEEL!"
"Reality Collapse!"
BOOM!!
A dark-red ripple swept over Alien X — the Reality Stone's highest authority, rewriting the essence of matter at the fundamental level.
Red light swallowed the starry figure.
One second.
Two seconds.
Alien X floated in the same position. Stars drifting lazily across his body. Not a particle displaced. Not a speck of dust changed.
The Reality Stone's laws were irrelevant to him.
Inside Alien X's consciousness space.
A boundless green nebula. Two cosmic faces — each larger than worlds — floated before Jake.
On the left: Bellicus. Rage incarnate. Voice like thunder breaking mountains.
On the right: Serena. Compassion incarnate. Voice like water finding its level.
"Oh, look." Bellicus rumbled. "Another mortal wanting to borrow our power."
"Don't be rude." Serena's warmth was planetary in scale. "He is also our voice. Hello, Jake. We have been watching you for a long time."
Jake stood between two gods with his arms folded. No panic. No pleading. The composure of a man who'd negotiated with Dormammu and bluffed a universal conqueror.
"I'll keep this short."
He pointed outward — at Thanos, still futilely attacking the shell they inhabited.
"Outside, there's a purple vegetable holding a few broken rocks, calling himself a god. He's insulting the word. And he's insulting you — beings who actually possess omnipotence."
"He wants to destroy half the universe." Serena's sadness was genuine. "That is too cruel."
"He challenges our authority?" Bellicus erupted. "UNFORGIVABLE! He should be erased! COMPLETELY!"
"See?" Jake snapped his fingers. "You already agree."
"Serena wants to save lives. Bellicus wants to punish the offender. I can deliver both."
He extended his hand. Eyes sharp.
"Give me control. Let me teach this hillbilly what real power looks like."
Bellicus and Serena exchanged a glance across the nebula.
"Motion: authorize Jake Rivers for full control of the Celestialsapien body to punish the Titan Thanos." Bellicus's voice was ice.
"Seconded." Serena nodded.
"Motion carried."
The real world.
Thanos had fired hundreds of energy blasts. Space cuts. Power tremors. Reality rewrites. Every weapon four Infinity Stones could produce, launched at a target that refused to acknowledge any of them.
The black figure hung in the air like an ink stain on a canvas — immovable, immutable, impossible.
"WHY?! WHY WON'T YOU MOVE?!" Thanos was losing composure. Approaching hysteria.
The starry-sky figure moved.
Slowly. One hand rising.
The motion was simple. Unhurried. But to every being watching — mortal and cosmic alike — it felt as if the entire universe was shifting its weight.
"You are noisy."
The voice was three voices superimposed: Jake's calm, Bellicus's wrath, Serena's majesty. It bypassed ears and detonated directly in minds.
"Now — be quiet."
Alien X extended one finger. Pointed at Thanos.
"Freeze."
BZZZ————
No energy beam. No shockwave. No visible effect.
Thanos stopped.
Mid-punch. Muscles frozen. Life-force flames arrested. The Infinity Gauntlet's light — went out.
Not a time pause. Not spatial imprisonment.
Causality.
Jake had severed the cause-and-effect chain of Thanos's actions. The connection between "intent to move" and "movement occurring" — deleted.
"How... is this possible..."
Thanos couldn't move his eyes. His thoughts were decelerating. The Infinity Stones — the most powerful artifacts in the universe — responded to his commands like dead glass beads.
Alien X floated before him.
Smaller than Thanos. Two and a half meters of Titan muscle versus a slim, star-filled silhouette. But at this moment, Alien X was more towering than Ultimate Way Big had ever been — because size was a concept, and Alien X had stopped acknowledging concepts.
"You seek balance?"
Jake looked into eyes filled with the particular terror of a being encountering something genuinely beyond comprehension.
"Your balance is arithmetic for the incompetent. A true god doesn't need to do subtraction."
Jake reached out. Grasped the Infinity Gauntlet on Thanos's frozen hand.
Thanos tried to resist. Tried to detonate the Stones. Tried to trigger the Space Stone's auto-escape. Tried anything.
Nothing responded.
Before a Celestialsapien, an Infinity Stone wielder was a baby holding pebbles.
Click.
Like removing a glove.
The Gauntlet — four Stones embedded, fused with Thanos's flesh — slid free. Effortlessly. Casually. As if the bond between cosmic artifact and cosmic tyrant was a suggestion that Alien X had simply declined to recognize.
Thanos went limp. The invincible aura collapsed.
"No..."
"Confiscated."
Jake tossed the Gauntlet into subspace. Then backhanded Thanos across the face.
No technique. No alien martial art. Just the offhand expression of omnipotent power.
SLAP!!!
RRRRUMBLE————!!!!!
Thanos's indestructible Titan body broke the first cosmic velocity — from a slap. He became a purple meteor, punching through the atmosphere, trailing friction-fire through the clouds, shrinking to a point of light, and vanishing into outer space.
One slap.
Out of the atmosphere.
Alien X clapped his hands. As if swatting a mosquito.
He turned to the Avengers.
Who had turned to stone.
Steve's mouth hung open. His shield was on the ground — dropped, unnoticed.
Tony's armor systems had crashed. Blue screen.
Thor's single eye contained an existential crisis.
Peter had forgotten he was hanging upside down.
The starlight on Alien X receded. Jake's human form returned — pale, slightly drained, eyes still bright.
He looked at his teammates. Shrugged.
"That Sweet Potato Spirit won't be back for a while."
A beat.
"Anyone want to scavenge his ship wreckage? Might be some good stuff in there."
