In the nether realm, a vast and barren landscape of fire and brimstone, stood a towering figure known as Titan Havik. Unlike the Titans, Havik was not free, but instead was chained up. His eyes glowed with otherworldly fire as he struggled against the chains that held him captive. The battle that led Titan Havik to this moment had been a bitter one. He had made a gamble, hoping to seize control over all the realms, but in the end, his defeat at the hands of Lord Liu Kang had left him banished to the depths of the nether realm. The taste of defeat was still fresh in his mind as he strained against the chains that bound him. The sight of Titan Havik, once a mighty Titan and now reduced to a chained captive, was a drastic change. His normally proud demeanor was now replaced with one of frustration and anger as he continued to pull against the chains, his muscles straining with the effort. Despite his struggle, the chains held strong, the power of Lord Liu Kang's banishment seemingly unbreakable.

In the distance, a sudden movement is noticed as a giant green portal tears open in the air. It seems to appear out of nowhere, a swirling vortex of otherworldly energy. The portal flickers for a moment before stabilizing, the edges of the gateway glowing and pulsing with power. Slowly, a figure emerges from the portal, their form silhouetted by the swirling vortex of energy behind them. They seem to hesitate for a moment before taking another step forward, the shadows falling away to reveal their identity. As the figure emerges further from the portal, their identity is slowly revealed. They stand tall and imposing, an aura of power radiating off them. Their eyes scan the landscape, taking in the barren landscape of nether realm before settling on the chained Titan Havik.

The figure's voice rings out, a mix of curiosity and amusement in their tone. They regard the chained Titan Havik with a look of mild interest, a slight smile on their face.

???: Well, well, well... Looks like my sources were right. I can't believe it... Titan Havik, chained up like a dog. How the mighty have fallen.

As Titan Havik looks up from his bound state, his eyes widen in recognition. The figure that stands before him is someone he hadn't expected to see, someone whose presence in this realm is unheard of. His expression changes from frustration to disbelief, his mind struggling to process this unexpected turn of events. For a moment, Titan Havik doesn't say anything, his mind racing with questions and confusion. And then, in a voice that betrays his surprise, he speaks.

Titan Havik: You...? Here...? How?

The figure steps forwards, the light falling on their face and revealing their identity. Their features are sharp and angular, their eyes narrowed and intense, a hint of a smile playing on their lips.

As the figure steps out of the shadows, it is revealed to be none other than Y/N, the new ruler of Latveria and the new Doctor Doom in his suit.

Y/N stands before Titan Havik, his demeanor calm and composed. The disdain in his voice is clear as he addresses the chained Titan.

Y/N: Some Titan you are, being chained up in this hellhole. I've heard of your reputation, how you tried to seize control of the realms, and yet here you are, bound and trapped like a dog.

Y/N strolls closer, his footsteps echoing off the barren terrain. He regards Titan Havik with a look of mild disgust.

Y/N: You used to be an entity of fear and power, but look at you now. Pathetic.

Titan Havik bristles at Y/N's words, his expression betraying his frustration and anger. Despite his situation, he cannot help but feel the sting of Y/N's words. He glares up at Y/N, the chains around his wrists rattling as he strains against them. Y/N stops a few feet away from Titan Havik, his hands on his hips as he looks down upon him.

Y/N: You had the power of a Titan, the power to shape the realms as you pleased. And what did you do with it? You let your arrogance get the better of you. You tried to take everything for yourself, and in doing so, you lost it all.
