Silver Surfer - 07 - Innervisions The planet Joregpa.
Quiet.
Peaceful.
Serene When I was a child visiting this wonderful world I found its beauty truly delightful! My father, the Scientist Supreme of the Titan System, was taking his family on a merry holiday And he and my mother encouraged my brother and me to play amid the splendor That fool Mentor plunged in with his usual abandon, and so did I only to learn a harsh truth We had both been genetically engineered, but for very different qualities My brother was the curious young scholar, who learned from everything he saw While I I was Thanos, bred to punish and avenge And everything I touched died! Lady Chaos, my twin flame, I thank you for the release the joy that our love brings And offer you this small gift of annihilation and the promise of more to come Again do I wander the spaceways alone! Only now, with Pip no longer accompanying me, do I truly realize how much it meant to have a companion Strange These seem to be fragments of a large body, perhaps a moon or planet Such matters, however, are not my concern The Universal Library showed me that the Dream Weaver of Zenn-La has been taken to the planet Harmony If it is still there, I hope to be able to use its power to unite my thoughts with those of my people and learn where in this universe they are A nova! This is no natural occurrence! Who would perform such a horrendous act? The Kree? The Skrull? A vessel! I do not recognize its configuration But the nature of its energy strikes a most repugnant chord Thanos! The monster's course is unmistakable.
He is cutting a swath of destruction toward Harmony! What's that, my dear? Why did I choose to give you this solar system? My family stopped here on the same tour these planets that took us to Joregpa.
All five were dedicated to education Mentor, of course, was welcomed with open arms.
While I was disdained for my burgeoning strength.
Now our power truly educates them! Silver Surfer? Here? Oh, Lady Chaos, thank you for gifting me with the chance for revenge! Thanos' power is even greater than I expected! I must gather myself Or I have not a chance Greatly am I weakened.
I cannot continue to fight.
But neither can I allow my foe to demolish another world? I do not have much time.
Thanos cannot be very far behind me! The Whynnm of Harmony ever have been a paradoxical race On the one hand, they have a tradition as galactic warriors, while on the other, long have they admired the tranquility of Zenn-La It was to unite these conflicting attitudes that they were given the Dream Weaver Once I have warned the Whynnm, it will be up to them to flee, or rise up in defense Ha! Another match for me! How about you, foul miscreant? Brothers and sisters of Harmony! Your world is in danger! The being known as Thanos approaches on a mission most dire! Onward! To the next challenge! Nice move! More points to us all! Is everyone on this world mad? How can it be that they neither see nor hear me? Have the Whynnm become enslaved by this robot race? Why, these are nutrient energies of the kind given by caretakers when a patient cannot feed itself! That must be the center from which the robots are dispatched.
The Dream Weaver! On Zenn-La, The Dream Weaver was used to give substance to our deepest hopes and desires, so we could all work toward them together.
Here, its power seems to have merged the thoughts of the entire race into a vast group dream! I must hurry.
Part of me longs to simply take what I desire but I have a duty to perform.
To communicate with the Whynnm, I must shut down this device They cannot bear to be returned to reality! And the Dream Weaver is causing me to experience their pain as my own! My only recourse is to enter the fantasy myself.
No wonder the inhabitants have chosen this way to live.
Why would anyone want any other way when they could be part of this dream? No!No! I must stay on guard against losing myself.
Too much is at stake! Don't worry! I'll dispatch this Challenger in no time! Am I not magnificent? - A true champion - Get away from that woman! I am the Silver Surfer.
Who is authority in here? Ah, a new twist! No Challenger's ever questioned anyone before.
Usually they just fight! You You do not understand.
I come as a friend.
To warn you Yes, yes Your lives are in some kind of grave peril Oh, this is delightful! You're the most cleverly designed enemy the Dream has come up with yet.
But Beta Ray Bill, Champion of Champions, knows what to do.
This system was my family's last stop on our "Grand Tour" The second planet from the sun is called Harmony And even then the very name filled me with loathing! It was the citizens of Harmony who convinced my father that.
I would profit by being sent to study on the accursed world of Zenn-La! You must stop! Do not force me to fight back! But you've got to fight back.
Otherwise it's not a proper contest! What an excellent illusion.
Even as we improve, so does the Dream.
The Silver Surfer! He He seems almost real I am real! Then prove it.
Do your worst, Enemy! We all know the rules of the Dream nothing created by the Dream Weaver can possibly defeat us! Did you see that? - No! - It can't be! My hammer! What'd you do? I transmuted it into something a little less dangerous.
Oh yeah? Transmute this! No fair! Bill, he he's beating us! But the only way that could happen is if He's a genuine off-worlder! Does he truly have something to warn us about? Are we in true danger? What is that, beloved? You would prefer a closer look at the civilization we are about to obliterate? Why, of course Odd the Whynnm are greatly altered since my put-upon youth? The Silver Surfer? How exquisite! I shall not be deprived after all! My lady.
I am deeply moved by this reward It gives me hope that the day soon will come when you abandon cold stone and deign to appear to this unworthy admirer in your true flesh! Please, Silver Surfer you must tell us what peril Harmony is in! It is so difficult to remember I was coming here to to get something.
And on the way I encountered, someone.
It's hard to concentrate here in the Dream State, I know.
Our awareness comes and goes You see? Even my own people have already forgotten Forgotten what? Why? Why? I too no longer know! Excellent! Allow me.
Oh, well done! Victory! Courage! Truth! But this is not the truth! I have been caught up in the Dream! Beta Ray Bill.
We must leave this false world immediately.
"Leave?" You want to return to reality? Of course.
We must turn off the Dream Weaver.
How else will remember the danger? No!!! Beta Ray Bill! Why do you fight me? You said you want to save your planet! Of course I do! But you ask too much! On Harmony, our Dream is the reality.
It means glory! Success! It means the end, of your entire world! For us reality was already an end! My people were so confused.
Our spiritual side longed for the Harmony our planet's named after But our warrior side gloried in battle! We felt paralyzed! By using the Dream Weaver, we were able to fulfill both desires! "Fulfill" them? Or betray them? We've become stronger, smarter So much stronger that you can only defeat phantoms? So much smarter that you cannot even remember your last thought? We've made life perfect! What you have made it is false! You have perverted the power of the Dream Weaver by using it not to meet new challenges but flee them! No! You're wrong! We're the Whynnm! We're We're There must be something good about us something worth saving There was once.
There will be again.
If Harmony's brought back to reality too quickly, the shock may be too much for us all.
I believe in you.
What? What's going on? No! Stop! Help us! Somebody! My mind is clearer now.
I can rememberThanos! He is on his way to this system with the power to cause your sun to go nova! It's no use, Surfer.
The Dream kept me from remembering how low we've sunk.
We don't have any way to fight him.
Or even get off the planet! What about all your technology? We converted it to the support system for the Dream.
Our only link to the outside universe is this It is he! Then it's also good-bye.
Wait! You do have a weapon! I know a little about Thanos.
What if for the first time in his existence, he felt fulfilled? It'll take some adjustments I'm not sure we've got enough power to reach Thanos' ship Do not worry about the power.
It's ready.
But we'll only get one shot.
Amplifying the Dream Weaver so it can effect a being as powerful as Thanos will destroy it! Hey, you okay? I was thinking of a loved one.
I have not seen her for some time.
Turn it on.
And now, my love we say goodbye to the last of my childhood tormentors! My darling You make me so proud! My my my Lady! Come, Thanos! Let us move to our next catastrophe.
Nothing, nothing shall ever separate us not even the Final Nothingness itself! Why did you ever come here? Look what you've caused! Go away, Silver Surfer! And take that traitor, Beta Ray Bill with you! My people and I have the hardest challenge of all now, Surfer living in the real world.
How dare you talk that way! We're Whynnm! We stand for victory! Courage! And hope! Hope! Yes.
On Zenn-La, the Master would have said that by sacrificing my needs for those of others I too met a challenge But the only time I will feel victorious is when my arms are around Shalla Bal, my lost love Oh, my love, my love there are not words to describe how I feel now that you are with me at last Oh! No! No! No! No!
Quiet.
