As the dark presence drew closer, Ben stood ready. He could feel its hunger, its thirst for destruction. And he knew that he was the only thing standing in its way. As the presence loomed over him, Ben raised his hand, and a beam of energy shot forth, striking it head on. The darkness recoiled, howling in pain and anger. But it did not retreat. Instead, it struck back, a wave of darkness and destruction rushing towards Ben.
Ben could feel the power of the darkness, could feel it trying to tear him apart. But he held fast, his resolve unshaken. As the wave crashed into him, he took the full force of its fury, and it was like nothing he had ever experienced. But still, he did not yield. He channeled the power of the universe, the energy of the stars, into a single, focused point. And he struck back, a blinding beam of light shining forth. The darkness quailed before it, shrinking away.
The battle raged on, for hours, for days, for years, for eons. Time lost all meaning, as Ben and the darkness fought each other to a standstill. But Ben was patient, was determined, was resolute. And slowly, ever so slowly, he began to push back the darkness, reclaiming what it had taken. The universe began to heal, the stars began to shine once more. And as the darkness faded, Ben knew that he had won. But the cost had been high. He had been changed, forever.
