It all began with a great war.
The being that went by the name of Lucifer threatened to bring mankind to total annihilation. He wielded an army made up of the undead and used it to tear down anything that got in his way.
This being rivaled the power of the Lords and claimed the title of Ruler for himself. An evil unlike anything the world had seen, it indeed would have all come to an end if not for the actions of a lone Super.
A Super who stood above all others. A Super who used everything he had to defeat Lucifer and bring the world itself into a new age. An age of heroes.
This was the age of Full Monarch. The first number one hero, the first Lord to awaken their power fully, the first man to gain the respect of the Brightest Star, and the one who would go on to not just defeat the Beast alongside Lucifer but even the newest threat to the planet, the one and only modern-day Satan, the Emperor.
This was his story.
At least...
It should have been.
A blur flew through the sky. Faster than any other Super, it danced forward so fast no other being had a chance of catching up to it. If they were lucky, they would maybe see a flicker of gold or a flash of fire, but that was it.
It went across planet Earth, soaring at incredible speeds, and anytime there was a threat, it stopped.
A town was about to be swallowed up by lava! Well, the golden blur appeared, and faster than anyone could blink, it literally tore the ground apart and picked the entire town up, carrying it to safety!
A tidal wave came down on a large city below! The golden blur breathed out as hard as he could, freezing the water in its place instantly. Then, with a wave of its hand, it caused it all to come undone. As if time rewinded, the water flowed backwards and away from the city, and the sky cleared up.
A bank was being robbed by a group of thugs? Suddenly, they were chained up.
A city on the other side of the planet was experiencing earthquakes? The blur moved through, throwing all the falling objects away and stopping them from hitting anyone.
A cat stuck in a tree, a kid late for school, a man about to jump, or a child who needed someone to talk to.
All of these things were visited by the blur.
The blur came to a sliding stop in front of a large cheering crowd. He stood at the center of the stage dressed in his costume and placed his hands on his hips. The sunlight bounced down from above, lighting up the gold all around him, and the butterfly symbol that stood proudly on his chest caught the eyes of millions as he gave a bright smile.
"I'm just doing my part." Full Monarch announced, pointing forward. "You too can be a hero-"
Her phone screen shut off.
Just like that, the story of the blur was over as Ruby let out a sigh. "He's as lame as ever." She muttered, leaning her head back, feeling the plane chair shake as the child behind her kicked. It caused her eye to twitch a bit, and she thought about reaching back and smacking the child upside the head but decided against it.
Hitting him wouldn't change the fact that she was stuck on this plane. She had tried going onto her phone. That was where she had watched the story about the blur around the world, also known as the hero Full Monarch. It had gotten way too boring, though.
The internet only ever seemed to talk about how great and powerful he was. How he was always working, constantly flying around and helping the moment he saw anything go down, no matter what it was. Sini had created phones and the internet after the war with Lucifer, with the help of a bunch of other Mental-based powers, yet they were all being wasted on news articles saying the same thing the world already knew. 'Full Monarch was the greatest.'
