41 Power Stone Vs Starbrand

(Imagine Grimlock fighting Rip-off King Kong)

I am not good at writing fight scenes.

~~~~~

Rex, once the most unlucky dinosaur in existence, was now Earth's ultimate predator towering behemoth of armor-plated scales and burning cosmic energy. His glowing Starbrand sigil pulsed like a second heart, flooding his body with infinite power as he stalked his prey: the Ape King, a monstrous gorilla, its right arm mutated into a crystalline gauntlet pulsing with the raw, destructive might of the Power Stone.

The jungle trembled beneath their combined presence.

Rex barely had time to react before the air exploded a beam of pure cosmic force streaked toward him, a violent blast from the Ape King's stone-infused fist.

BOOM!

The impact sent Rex hurtling through the jungle, tearing through trees like they were nothing but twigs. But pain? No. There was only rage. Rex roared, shaking the sky itself, the Starbrand sigil on his chest flaring as he twisted midair and teleported in a burst of golden energy-

Reappearing right behind the Ape King.

His massive jaws lunged for the ape's skull, serrated teeth gleaming-

But the Ape King reacted a pulse of purple energy detonated from its mutated arm, sending a shockwave that blasted Rex away before his teeth could close.

Rex skidded across the ground, tearing deep trenches into the earth with his claws. His optics flashed red.

Alright. You want a brawl? You got one.

With a thunderous roar, Rex charged his colossal form a blur as he vanished, teleporting in and out of existence like a flickering star.

The Ape King swung, fists cracking like meteors. Rex dodged one, two, three blows and then countered, ducking under a wild punch and slamming his armored tail into the ape's ribs with bone-shattering force.

CRACK!

The Ape King howled in pain, tumbling backward, smashing through boulders before planting its feet, snarling. With a snort, it drove the Power Stone deep into its chest-

And ignited.

A surge of purple lightning rippled across its fur, veins glowing like molten lava. The jungle itself began to disintegrate from the sheer energy radiating from the Ape King's body. The air boiled. The ground fractured.

Then the beast vanished.

Rex had only a split second to process before-

BOOM!

A fist the size of a car buried itself into his side, sending him soaring through the air. He barely righted himself before-

WHAM!

Another blow caught his jaw like a sledgehammer, sending sparks and blood flying.

The Ape King teleported again, faster than before, appearing above Rex, both fists raised-

"ENOUGH!"

Rex's Starbrand erupted, golden energy detonating outward in a shockwave that ripped the jungle apart. The Ape King reeled, thrown back for the first time.

Rex growled, shaking off the impact. His optics blazed.

Time to stop playing around.

He teleported not behind, not above-

Inside the Ape King's guard.

Before the ape could react, Rex latched onto its mutated Power Stone arm with his titanium-crushing jaws-

And clamped down.

CRUNCH!

The Ape King screamed, blood and cosmic energy spraying into the air as Rex's fangs sank into the corrupted flesh. The gorilla thrashed, but Rex held on, teeth grinding harder, cracking the purple crystal.

The Power Stone pulsed, reacting wildly to the pressure-

KA-BOOM!

A cataclysmic explosion erupted, consuming both titans in a blinding inferno of purple and gold-

And when the smoke cleared, one of them was still standing.

Rex.

Mouth dripping with cosmic gore, the remains of the Power Stone's corruption still sizzling between his teeth. His armored body was scorched, dented-but he was alive.

The Ape King?

Only its mutated arm was remaining.

Rex exhaled, steam rising from his maw as he looked down at his fallen opponent.

His master had entrusted him with a mission.

Retrieve the Power Stone.

He was unstoppable and unbreakable. And Invi—

GURRRRRGHHH.

Rex froze.

A terrible, ominous feeling settled deep in his gut like an earthquake had decided to rent space in his stomach. He looked down at himself, then at the now very empty battlefield.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

Where the hell was the Power Stone?

*BURP

A sudden realization dawned upon him.

He... he ate it.

"HOOOORRRGGHHH—!"

A violent purple glow exploded from Rex's eyes, mouth, and even tail as raw cosmic energy detonated inside him. The Power Stone was not a fruit, and his insides were not equipped for digesting infinity-level energy sources!

Rex lurched, his entire body twitching and sparking, teleporting uncontrollably all over the battlefield—one second on a mountain, next inside a volcano, next upside-down in the ocean—before finally reappearing in front of his master, Ender.

"Rex," Ender sighed, rubbing his temples and staring at his violently glowing dinosaur. "Tell me you did not just EAT the Power Stone."

Rex, eyes still blazing purple, let out a weak, very un-dinosaur-like whimper.

"Hhhhrrrrnnnnghhh..."

Ender exhaled. "Great. Now I have to wait for you to—"

Before he could finish, Gaia appeared, materializing out of swirling leaves and golden light, her normally serene expression replaced by one of absolute, motherly rage.

The jungle? Gone.

The ecosystem? Ruined.

A literal T-Rex-sized crater had replaced what was once a flourishing forest.

Gaia stared at the destruction. Then at Rex.

Rex, despite being a cosmic-fueled, universe-tier predator, felt something worse than fear.

He felt guilt.

Gaia cracked her knuckles. "Rex. Come here."

Rex tried to teleport away—

Too late.

A single massive wooden hand GRABBED him by the tail and yanked him into the air like a misbehaving puppy.

"NOOOO! MASTER, HELP MEEE!" Rex flailed, but even with Power Stone indigestion, he was utterly helpless against the Prime Goddess of Earth.

SMACK!

The first spank echoed across the land.

BOOM!

A second, shaking the clouds.

CRACK!

By the third, even Buri looked up from Asgard, muttering, "By the Ymir's beard, I have never seen a dinosaur so thoroughly disciplined."

Rex wailed, teleporting out of pure instinct—but Gaia just yoinked him back every time like a cosmic yo-yo.

By the time she finally stopped, Rex looked like a sad, glowing potato, curled up on the ground, whimpering and holding his scorched, smoking tail.

Gaia sighed, brushing off her hands. "Maybe now you'll think before you destroy an entire ecosystem."

Rex could only groan.

Ender, watching the whole thing, just sighed and muttered, "Great. Now I have to wait until Rex... unloads the Power Stone."

Ignia, who had appeared just to watch, snorted. "So what, a Power-boosted dinosaur poop?"

Rex whimpered even louder.

~~~~

Well, Rex ate the Power Stone, but can you gimme yours?

Rex looks like Grimlock; he can even reverse to looking like a normal T-Rex; I wonder what will be Kraven's reaction if he tries to hunt Rex. 🗿

Poor Kraven. (Just a random thought)
