Imagine there are tinier ancients, ancients of planets. But instead of every ancient having one planet, they would be the ancient of a group of planets that are similar and possess similar qualities.
For simplicity, I will refer to these ancients as the ancient of [insert planet of our solar system that falls under their domain] ex: Ancient of Jupiter
For years, the Ancient of Mars has harbored resentment against the people of Earth for throwing their little machines all over her precious planet. They take parts of it back- for study, they say! Why, There’s even rumors of those little pests moving there! How dare they!
And they just keep coming.
She complains to the Ancient of Earth, but again and again they disturb her perfect planet.
The Justice League is scrambling- they had no time to prepare for such a large threat. Unless they stop her, she will transform Earth into an unrecognizable planet- a planet like Mars, which cannot sustain all of Earth’s life.
Unless they stop her, it will be a massacre that they may not recover from.
So they have to stop her.
They have gotten ready the best they can. They have found where she is. They go forth to fight for their home and everything in it-
She’s thrown in front of them, battered and bruised, shaking and trembling. They ready themselves as she tries to get up, but a flash of green obscures their vision.
The light clears, they dare to look up.
Bright, green glow. White, floating hair. Shimmering black and white clothes that hold the stars.
Wild and angry, so full of raw emotion it exudes from him in waves.
This man, too ethereal to be real, glowing, holds the Ancient of Mars by her throat.
