Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 1 — Vayne Industries & Lex Luber Plan

LA CITY — VAYNE INDUSTRIES SKYTOWER

Dark clouds covered LA.

People felt a strange pressure in the air…

like the universe was taking a deep breath before screaming.

Inside a massive meeting hall, holograms floated above a long black table.

Engineers whispered.

Board members sweated.

Everyone waited.

The door opened.

Zak Knight entered.

Tall. Calm. Sharp eyes.

A man who had already accepted that the world might end.

Behind him came Alfed, the old engineer who knew every secret of Vayne Industries.

People nodded with respect.

Alfed was known as…

"The Man Who Could Fix Anything."

Zak placed a glowing hologram on the table.

---

Zak Knight:

"Earth is no longer safe.

Gods… aliens… cosmic monsters…

We need protection stronger than every universe."

He tapped the table.

A massive 3D hologram expanded:

THE WORLD CHAMBER PROJECT

— Invisible shield around the entire planet

— AI-human hybrid defense system

— No invader can enter Earth

The room gasped.

A board member stuttered:

"Sir… this is impossible."

Alfed stepped forward with humility.

Alfed:

"It is possible…

But extremely dangerous.

To power a planet-size shield, we need cosmic energy.

To control that energy…

a human must transform into AI."

Silence.

Fear.

Someone whispered:

"It will kill the person…"

"Who will sacrifice their body?"

"This is madness…"

Zak simply said:

Zak:

"We begin today."

Just then—

The door opened again.

A man walked in with sunglasses and a coffee cup.

Mr. Ion Shark — CEO of Shark Industries

Genius. Billionaire. Chaotic.

He looked at the hologram with a smirk.

Ion Shark:

"So… you want to lock Earth inside a cosmic dome?

Dangerous.

Risky.

Interesting.

I like it."

He flicked his wrist-screen.

15% Shark Industries Funding Approved.

The entire room froze.

Zak nodded respectfully.

Alfed smiled gently.

Ion walked out casually…

Not telling anyone

that he had one more secret meeting.

---

TECHTON CITY — LEX LUBER PRIME HEADQUARTERS

Ion entered a skyscraper glowing with green energy patterns.

The air felt evil.

At the center of the top floor stood:

Lord Lex Luber

Bald. Sharp. Smiling like a serpent.

Lex:

"Mr. Shark…

Welcome to the future of humanity."

The lights shut off.

A massive cube lit up—

Inside it floated…

A MINIATURE UNIVERSE

Stars. Planets. Nebulae. All spinning silently.

Ion stepped forward, shocked.

Ion:

"You built… a universe?"

Lex grinned.

Lex:

"A prototype.

But soon, a full-size Artificial Universe.

A second home for humanity.

No aliens.

No gods.

Only humans."

Suddenly—

GIANT AI MONSTER GUARDS (ANDROID AI) walked out of the shadows.

Tall. Metallic. Unkillable.

Lex Luber:

"These beasts will guard my universe.

No superhero can kill them.

No god can enter.

Inside this universe…

monsters are immortal."

Ion's eyes narrowed.

Ion (thinking):

He's insane…

But this tech is unbelievable.

Lex leaned close and whispered:

⭐ LEX LUBER'S SECRET GOAL (Simple English)

Lex (soft, dangerous voice):

"Mr. Shark…

My true plan is different."

Ion frowned.

Lex:

"I will pull every superhero…

every god…

into my artificial universe."

A hologram showed superheroes trapped inside a cage-like universe.

Lex:

"And because monsters cannot die inside my universe…

superheroes will be hunted forever."

Ion swallowed.

Lex smiled wider:

Lex:

"When every hero is dead…

I will rule the multiverse alone."

Ion looked impressed — and terrified.

Then he tapped his wrist-screen:

💰 60% Shark Industries Funding Approved.

Lex Luber's eyes burned with victory.

Ion left… unaware he had just funded:

One man who wanted to protect Earth

One man who wanted to replace Earth and kill every hero

And one decision that would destroy the universe

CINEMATIC SPLIT SCREEN

Left — Zak Knight

"I will protect Earth."

Right — Lex Luber

"I will rule every universe."

Center — Ion Stark

"And I will profit from both."

---

Alfed whispered:

Alfed:

"Sir… I fear this choice will change the whole universe."

Zak looked out at the dark sky.

Zak:

"Alfed…

The universe never liked stability anyway."
