00:00Silence settled over the ruins of Rehab.
00:07A silence so heavy, it felt as though the universe itself held its breath in mourning.
00:15What remained of the Anunnaki fled to the only sanctuary left standing.
00:21The Temple of Descent, an ancient structure etched with warnings older than their oldest songs.
00:27Runes glowed faintly across its crystal walls, whispering of boundaries not to be crossed.
00:36Powers never to be touched. Doors never to be opened.
00:44But desperation blinds even the wise, and fear destroys the proud.
00:51Beneath the Temple lay the dimensional engines, forbidden creations built in secret by the High Council.
00:57They were theoretical machines designed to bend reality, not to be used, not to be awakened.
01:05But Rehab's death scream left no choice. The planet convulsed violently, cracks split the crystal floors of the Temple like glowing wounds.
01:18Heat roared upward through the structure as if the world itself sought to swallow its children.
01:23Activate the core stabilizer. An engineer cried, his hands shaking over the radiant controls.
01:32It won't hold. Another shouted back. Rehab's heart has already collapsed.
01:38The Council leader stepped forward, his fur-white hair whipping in the rising storm of heat. His voice was grief-stricken but steady.
01:47Then open the engines. We abandon this world, or we die with it.
01:56A vortex of shimmering silver light spiraled upward, forming a sphere that pulsed like a beating heart.
02:12Energy twisted, warping sound, bending gravity, distorting the very air.
02:18But something was wrong. Instead of opening a doorway, the sphere cracked.
02:24Once, twice, then again, like a glass orb fracturing from within.
02:29A whisper seeped into the chamber. Not voice. Not thought. Something between the two.
02:42A cold, ancient sadness swept through the Anunnaki, chilling their breath.
02:47What have we awakened? A young, giant gasp.
02:54The Council leader stared into the fracturing sphere and recoiled.
02:59Within the cracks, he saw faces contorted, drifting, eyes hollow, souls screaming in endless silence.
03:08The Phantom Zone, he whispered.
03:10Legends told of it, a prison forged a folded time, a dimension where the condemned drift forever.
03:19Unable to die. Unable to live.
03:24They had not created a passageway to safety.
03:28They had torn open a wound into that forsaken realm.
03:31Suddenly, the sphere shattered.
03:34A blast of living darkness erupted outward.
03:37Gravity inverted. Colors bent into spirals.
03:41The temple floor rippled like liquid crystal.
03:45One by one, the Anunnaki were ripped off their feet, drawn the widening tear.
03:51Hold on.
03:53Someone screamed, though there was nothing to grasp.
03:57The Council leader clung to a collapsing pillar, shouting over the deafening storm.
04:03Enter the Void!
04:05Death is behind us.
04:07Only uncertainty lies ahead.
04:10But the Void did not merely swallow them.
04:13It imprisoned them.
04:15The instant the giants crossed the threshold,
04:18the Phantom Zone sealed them into glass-like coffings of hardened time.
04:22Transparent prison suspended in an endless dark, floating-like shards of frozen reality.
04:30Each Anunnaki was trapped inside a crystalline shell.
04:35Frozen in posture.
04:37Eyes open but unable to blink.
04:39Their bodies held in place while their minds drifted through looping echoes of memory.
04:45They could not scream.
04:47They could not move.
04:49They could only drift.
04:51Weightless.
04:55Helpless.
04:57Eternal.
04:59Around them stretched an endless void, streaked with cracks of white energy that pulsed like veins.
05:07Fragments of shattered worlds drifted through the darkness.
05:11Time folded.
05:13Reversed.
05:14Repeated.
05:14And through the Void, a presence stirred.
05:18Watching.
05:20Waiting.
05:21Whispering.
05:23Somewhere beyond the broken horizon of the Zone, a consciousness awakened.
05:28A shadow not born of Rehab, yet drawn to the fallen giants like a predator-scenting wounded prey.
05:37Its whisper threaded through the crystalline prisons.
05:41Children of silver light.
05:44Your rebellion has only begun.
05:46Your rebellion has only begun.
05:49As the last Anunnaki vanished into the Zone, the Temple of Descent collapsed behind them.
05:56Rehab's core erupted.
05:57And the entire planet exploded into a white-hot flash that echoed across galaxies.
06:03When the light faded, there was nothing left.
06:09Nothing but the Phantom Zone.
06:12A wound carved into the fabric of creation and the prisoners drifting within it.
06:18Through that wound, destiny shifted.
06:20Through that wound, a new path opened.
06:24A path that would one day lead them to a distant world called Earth.
06:30A path that would be the same.
