Location: Dimensional Rift → Taipei, Taiwan – February 26, 2026 (Real World)
Luca tumbled out of the swirling black-and-white portal and landed hard on wet pavement. The air smelled of scooter exhaust, stinky tofu, and rain. Neon signs flickered in Mandarin. People stared at the teenager who had just materialized next to an orange bouncing ball robot.
Haro chirped happily. "New world! New world! Idiot Luca!"
"Shush." Luca stood, brushed off his Tuxedo jacket, and activated the Tracking Glasses. "Hakimi, full scan. Where are we?"
The AI's voice came through the earpiece. "Confirmed baseline Earth, no Marvel signatures. No Stark, no SHIELD, no superhumans. Geopolitical situation: Multiple active conflicts, climate tipping points, resource wars. Technology level: Pre-clean-energy revolution. Current date matches our calendar."
Luca exhaled. "So… the real world. No gods, no aliens, just humans being humans. Perfect testing ground."
He ducked into a quiet alley, used the Transformation Watch to blend in as a local teen, and pulled out a small briefcase. The Wyvern Drone unfolded, hovered up, and began hacking global networks while staying invisible.
"Alright. Step one: Make war obsolete."

One Week Later – Temporary Aurantius Innovations Office (Rented Top Floor, Taipei 101)
Luca leaned back in his chair, feet on the desk, watching multiple holographic screens.
Clean fusion prototypes (miniaturized Hex Core tech with safe wormhole taps) had been "leaked" to every major power as open-source designs. Oil prices were in freefall. Middle Eastern ceasefires were already being signed because no one wanted to fight over resources that were suddenly worthless.
Medical Baymax units (mass-produced via local factories using synthesized blueprints) were air-dropped into war zones and disaster areas. Disease outbreaks that would have killed thousands were ending overnight.
Non-lethal "peacekeeper" drones—Haro variants armed with stun tech and Dehydration Guns—patrolled hot spots. Any faction that broke a ceasefire woke up to find their entire arsenal turned into thumb-sized blue cubes with a polite note: "Return to sender – L.A."
Luca sipped bubble tea. "Humans are predictable. Give them free energy and medicine, and suddenly 'peace' becomes the profitable option."
Haro bounced on the desk. "Haro peace! Haro peace!"
A news alert popped up: World leaders calling for an emergency summit in Geneva. Luca smiled. "Time to meet the clients."

Geneva Summit – Neutral Conference Hall
Luca (in a sharp suit, looking every bit the 16-year-old genius billionaire) stood at the podium. World leaders watched in stunned silence as holographic projections showed real-time data: Wars ending, carbon levels dropping, economies booming under his tech.
"My name is Luca Aurantius. I come from… elsewhere. My inventions are not for sale. They are tools. Use them for peace, and humanity advances together. Continue fighting, and you will be left behind—literally. I can dehydrate entire armies if I feel like it."
A general from one superpower stood up angrily. "This is coercion! Who are you to—"
Luca flicked his wrist. The general's sidearm vanished in a blue beam, replaced by a tiny cube on the table.
"Non-lethal demonstration. Any other questions?"
The room went dead silent.
He continued calmly. "I've already seeded the planet with free clean energy, medical robots, and peacekeeper drones. The only thing left is for you people to stop being idiots. Sign the Global Cooperation Framework today, or watch your countries become irrelevant."
By the end of the day, every major nation had signed. Luca's "Aurantius Foundation" became the de facto coordinator of global resources. Wars didn't just stop—they became economically suicidal.

Two Months Later – Back in Taipei, Night Market
Luca sat at a street stall eating grilled squid, Haro bouncing happily beside him. Global news played on a nearby TV: "Mysterious benefactor L.A. credited with ending decades of conflict."
He sighed contentedly. "Real world was easier than expected. No Loki, no Thanos, just politicians who fold when you take away their toys."
A familiar black spot appeared on the ground next to his table.
The Spot poked his head out, looking confused. "Hey kid! Wrong coordinates again? This isn't the Marvel place. No Spider-Man? Nice!"
Luca grinned, stood up, and tossed a capsule at the Spot. "Perfect timing. Take me back. I've got ideas for both worlds now."
The portal expanded. Luca stepped through with Haro, leaving behind a world that was suddenly, improbably, on the path to lasting peace.
Back in Marvel World – Aurantius Lab
Luca stretched as the portal closed. "Not bad for a field trip. Real-world humans are stubborn, but give them infinite energy and free healthcare and they calm down quick."
Tony's voice suddenly crackled over the comms. "Brat! Where the hell have you been? New York's rebuilding and you disappear for two months?!"
Luca smiled innocently. "Just testing some multiverse stuff. Brought back a few ideas. Want free clean energy?"
Tony paused. "...I'm coming over."
Luca leaned back, looking at the glowing Omnitrix on his wrist.
"Peace in one world, empire in the other. Not a bad week."
Haro bounced excitedly. "Idiot Luca fixed everything! Haro!"
Real World – Aurantius Tower Rooftop, Taipei – Two Months After the Geneva Summit
Luca lounged in a floating chair he'd synthesized from spare E-Carbon and anti-grav tech, bubble tea in one hand, a tablet in the other. Below, the city was alive in a way it had never been. Scooters ran on pocket fusion cells. Hospitals were half-empty thanks to roaming Baymax units curing everything from cancer to the common cold. The last active war zone (some forgotten border skirmish) had signed a peace treaty three days ago after Luca "accidentally" dropped a swarm of Haro peacekeepers that turned all their tanks into blue cubes with polite notes reading "Please stop."
Haro bounced on the table, projecting tiny holographic fireworks.
"Peace achieved! Idiot humans finally smart! Haro happy!"
Luca chuckled. "Not bad for a side quest. Real world was easier than Marvel. No purple space tyrants, no ancient gods, just politicians who fold when you hand them infinite clean energy and free healthcare. I should trademark 'Peace Through Overwhelming Utility.' Next: Mars colony with foldable Yuri bases. Then I go home and rub Tony's face in it."
His phone buzzed. Global news alert: "L.A. Foundation donates 50,000 more medical drones to Africa. Climate recovery on track for 2040."
He smiled, took another sip, and closed his eyes.
Then the sky tore open.
A massive, donut-shaped warship materialized above the city like a second sun, blotting out the light. Chitauri leviathans poured out in formation. People screamed. Phones came out. Scooters swerved.
Luca's eyes snapped open. "Hakimi. Scan."
"Confirmed: Sanctuary II. Energy signature matches Thanos. Probability 99%. He followed the dimensional trace from your last portal."
Luca stood slowly, the floating chair dissolving behind him. "He came here? To the world I just fixed? The one with no Infinity Stones, no Avengers, no Asgard?"
Haro stopped bouncing. "Purple idiot! Haro strike!"
Thanos' voice boomed across every frequency on the planet, calm and inevitable.
"I am Thanos. This world has known false balance. Prosperity built on denial. I will correct it."
He raised the Gauntlet (stones somehow collected across realities or echoes Luca's tech had inadvertently created).
Snap.
Half of all life on Earth turned to dust.
In Taipei, Luca watched in frozen horror as people on the street below vanished mid-step. A mother holding her daughter's hand—only the mother remained, collapsing into screams. Cars driverless crashed. Planes fell from the sky. The city, the one he had spent months saving, screamed.
Luca himself flickered, the system protections and multiple layered items (Tuxedo, Omnitrix core, Hex Core residue) shielding him. But the loss hit like a physical blow.
Haro's voice was small. "Half gone… Half gone…"
Luca's face went from shock to cold, terrifying calm.
"You came to the wrong Earth, Titan."
He activated the Transformation Watch, shifting into combat form, and pulled the Dehydration Gun. Haro mechs launched from hidden silos across the tower. The Boxer unfolded from a capsule on the roof.
Luca leaped off the building, the swarm forming around him like angry metallic bees.
Global broadcast on every channel, every speaker, every phone:
"Thanos. This world had peace. I gave it to them. You took it away. Now I take you."

The Battle of Earth – 47 Minutes Later
Luca didn't play hero. He played smart.
Dehydration beams swept across Chitauri formations, turning entire dropships into harmless blue cubes that rained down like confetti. Haro swarms used stun tech and EMPs to disable Leviathans mid-air. The Boxer Mech charged straight at Thanos on the ruins of Tokyo Tower, Power-Enhancing Shoes delivering kicks that sent the Titan flying through buildings.
Thanos adapted. The Black Order arrived. Ebony Maw's telekinesis nearly crushed Luca before Fifth Haro sacrificed itself, blocking the attack and buying time.
Luca used the Omnitrix core (still a component) to scan and briefly transform into a Kree warrior form for raw strength, then switched back. He fired the Dehydration Gun at the Gauntlet itself—turning two stones into cubes before Thanos pulled away.
For nearly an hour, Luca held the line across multiple continents. Baymax units flooded hospitals. Peacekeeper drones protected civilians. Real-world militaries, armed with his gifted tech, actually fought back for the first time.
But the Snap had already happened. Half the world was gone. The grief was a living thing.
Thanos stood victorious on a distant battlefield, smiling.
"You fight well, child. But I am inevitable."
Luca landed among the ashes in what used to be New York (real-world version). His voice was ice over every remaining speaker on the planet.
"You made a mistake coming here, Titan. I was trying to save this world from itself. Now? I'm going to save it from you."
He looked at the glowing Omnitrix core on his wrist and the Yuri Construction Yard blueprints already printing in his portable lab.
"Round two starts now."
Haro bounced beside him, voice fierce.
"Idiot Luca fix everything! Haro help!"
Luca allowed himself a small, dangerous smile.
"Exactly."
