the L O R E

Sheesh!!!

This is good
But I forgot most of the backstory for the collector

Basically, a powerful being known as the creator was the first one to use the crystal of creation. He fought another powerful being named Mr. Void, who used the crystal of destruction.

After defeating void, creator attempted to send both crystals to opposite edges of the multiverse

The crystal of creation hit collector directly in the chest right as his planet was about to be destroyed, which destabilized space around him and sent him to another universe

As for the crystal of destruction... That's explained later in this story.

Jhon: Oh and personal tip, do not separate infinity particles, once they are entangled, LEAVE THEM ALONE, if ya try to separate them, a gigantic explosion will occur, and the two particles will start jumping around the universe 5x the speed of light, destroying everything in their way

Things haven't been going well for the collector

He had been researching infinity for a man named John, and whenever he tried to summon a material to test on the crystal of creation would... misbehave.

Occasionally it would summon a black hole out of nowhere, sucking several of collector's research papers into oblivion. Ever since the first one he has been keeping them in the other room. But if the core holding infinity were sucked in... That would likely be his end.

Precautions have been taken, and research has been going smoothly but slowly.

Collector: one more black hole and I'm gonna lose it.

*Astra walks in*

Astra: collector? The council wants to see you.

Collector: let them in.

Astra: no, they want to see you at the citadel.

Collector: *facepalm* of course...

Don't touch any of my equipment in here while I'm gone. And if I find a stone talus in the realm of creation again you're grounded.

Astra: got it.

*Collector walks through a portal*

Astra: *calls someone* Hey, do you want to see some of the weapons collector has?

???: Heck yeah!

Collector was sent just outside the central tower of the citadel, he was surprised the crystal cooperated with him given how it's been acting lately

The central tower is surrounded by four turrets, each are able to fire beams able to flatten entire cities. All to protect the council of the citadel.

Upon walking in the collector saw five figures wearing orange striped cone-like hats on their heads. These were based on a time long ago, when the citadel was just a fantasy.

High emperor: collector... It is about time.

Collector: what have you called me here about.

High emperor: we have recently made a deal with stickmania to explore the outer reaches of the multiverse, but recently we've seen some... Complications. CAPTAIN! Explain the situation.

A blue stickman wearing a captain's uniform walks in from one of the side-doors

Captain: you see, recently we've found a very desolate universe. Completely devoid of life. Under normal circumstances this wouldn't be a problem, but there's one planet in particular that has caught our eye.

Captain: we are calling this planet FP5, A.K.A. the fractured planet. As you can see there is a massive crater on it's side with an aura coming through the cracks. But we haven't been able to get close enough to investigate.

The only ship that managed to return from even getting close to it was nearly unrecognizable. Our defense satellites almost shot at it before it sent us an entry code.

They said that purple energy similar to the crater surrounded the ship, and began to burn away large chunks of the ship's outer armor.

This is where you come in. We need you to get to the planet's surface, and figure out a way to either contain what is causing this strange phenomena, or destroy it.

Collector: and why is it so important that you gain access to this planet?

High emperor: many scans of the planet have revealed it contains many valuable metals, including galactic gold. As we do not have easy access to whitespace this could be a very important thing for the prosperity of the citadel. Especially since you and other powerful beings have refused to help us access whitespace and won't elaborate.

Collector: Fine. I will scan the planet myself to see what properties it has, and therefore what I must avoid.

High emperor: wonderful! It has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Collector: (to self) I wish I could say the same to you.

Collector arrives in the realm of creation to gather some supplies, but hears explosions in the distance. He followed the sound to see Astra and an unfamiliar figure messing with powerful weapons from his arsenal. He watched and waited for them to notice him, when suddenly Astra sees him and drops the zenith

Astra: I... Umm...

Collector: I am not mad to see you here, but who do you have with you?

Astra: oh, this is inku, inky's adopted daughter.

Inku turns around after throwing stormbreaker at a target (it doesn't have the enchantment mjolnir has so you don't need to be worthy)

Inku: oh, so you're the collector! I've heard inkmatas talking about you occasionally.

Collector: oh... Guess I've been that sucked into my work that I... Didn't know...

Astra: a lot has happened, inky adopted a son too. His name is bean.

A look of realization washed over the collector's face

Collector: I will continue gathering equipment for my mission from the council. Remember, put everything away when you're done. Got it?

Astra: got it!

Collector took a galaxy grade scanning device, and several energy repelling devices. All of these would be necessary for precise analysis of the fractured planet.

He took one last look at Astra... For some reason he felt that this would be his last mission.

When he opened a portal to go to the fractured planet he was sent to the exact place he didn't want to see...

The remains of his solar system, a few dead outer planets orbiting a massive red star.

The exact place where he lost everything

Collector: no... Not here... Not this place...

After a couple more tries he was able to go to the fractured planet. He set up his scanning technology, and waited while it scanned every inch of the planets surface from a safe distance.

While he waited he saw a heavily armored stickmanian ship, heading straight towards the fractured planet. As soon as it got close enough giant chunks of armor broke off and burnt away, just as the captain described. But it seemed nobody was on-board, this must have been a test to see how far they could get with that amount of armor. But clearly... It wasn't far enough.

After a few hours the scanner completed it's analysis of the planet, and the results were... Confusing, to say the least.

The energy protecting it matched Mr. Void's energy signature perfectly, and yet no life forms (not even him) were detected. And on top of that the strength of the energy matched that of the crystal of creation.

Collector would need to return to the realm of creation to evaluate the data. Upon returning he found Astra and inku asleep on the couch with a movie playing.

Collector: looks like they had fun.

He simply put a blanket over them and returned to his laboratory to figure out what's wrong with the planet he just visited. Clearly something very unusual was going on.

I can kind of see why everyone likes you so much, this is some serious cinematic shit

i agree with you

Glad you like it, but there may be more lore here than what you just read

i like it too

Mr Trollface: Void, void, why dioes that sound familiar???

w lore

bob: i dont want the diamond thing anymore

this already looks cool

Wow this is some good stuff
