Dio meteor

Isaac looked into the sky. A fiery streak stained the otherwise pristine sky. “Is that…”

“Yes,” said Dio. “The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. In mere moments, it will ’impact’ the Earth, sending up a ’massive dust cloud’ that will ’suffocate’ so much life on Earth. Of course, you and I will be fine. You have your ’suit,’ and I have ’transcended’ the need for things such as air. But the rest shall die.”

“Why are you showing me this?”

Dio smiled. “The asteroid has the ’metal’ necessary for the creation of the mask. Nothing more, nothing less.”

And so, they waited. They watched and they waited as the asteroid moved closer and closer. And though it was miles away, it felt unbearably close, as if Isaac could touch it.

When Isaac found himself in the 21st century, he was amazed at how alien it was. In the time between then and his time, the oceans had risen, and man had untethered themselves from the Earth. Life outside of Earth was discovered, and it brought humanity to near extinction. All within three hundred years.

And yet, here was the Earth from sixty-six million. A place even more alien, yet teeming with life. Its atmosphere was different, the continents were different, everything was completely different. Yet in an instant, all of it was to be erased. Humanity would be left to guess the color of the dinosaur's skin, or how many feathers they had. All that was left were bones. The last proof that they were ever there.

The asteroid was the fist of God. It plummeted into the Earth, sending a shockwave throughout its crust. Isaac fell to his knees and watched as miles and miles away the rock ripped trees out by their roots, leveled mountains, emptied lakes and basins. A cloud of dust rushed into his face, sending the world into blackness. Bits of dust buffeted his suit, filling his hearing with a clack, clack, clacking that could not mask the death rattle of these once mighty beasts that ruled the Earth.

And Dio laughed. He laughed and laughed as a plume of smoke covered the sun, and the world turned black.

And just as quickly as it had begun, it was over. In the distance, the smouldering glow of the asteroid remained, beckoning Isaac and Dio to come closer.
