Description
The star system Galactus' spacecraft was in suddenly had two suns. The blue giant that's been there since the dawn of its creation. And the new bluish white sun the size and shape of a startled human female.

Wearing nothing more than a jumpsuit and roller skates the power cosmic allowed Dazzler to survive in the deadly cold vacuum of space. Though she had done this before, (the last time she had to deal with Galactus), it still took a little getting used to. After the initial shock of finding herself adrift in space Ali relaxed and understandably took in the incredible sights before her. The red nebula that practically filled the sky was spectacular with all the bright blue stars shining through it.

She sighed. She had to get to work. It WAS a race against time after all.

The cosmic awareness she now had told her black hole was ten light years away. Ten light years. She instinctively knew that the distance would give her the time she needed to build up enough speed to go through it. And through it to the wormhole that connected to the black hole on the other side. And then through that as well. Ali concentrated and instinctively went into the motions of skating. The wheels on her skates began to spin as if they were on a solid surface. (Actually an energy field that only Dazzler could see.) She accelerated to and beyond the speed of light. Moving faster and faster.

She had passed through several star systems lighting up the skies of numerous planets as she went. Some of them were inhabited and the natives got quite a shock when their night sky lit up brighter than daylight. Finally she was approaching the black hole. Just beyond its gravitational pull was a giant humanoid alien with a large bald head and sci-fi toga. There was a human sized humanoid robot with him. It had what looked like an old fashioned tape recorder built into its chest. If Ali didn't know better she'd think they were watching her.

She shot past them and entered the black hole. It was like diving into a swimming pool and then walking on the bottom. Her "warp-speed" momentum had been slowed by the tremendous g-force surrounding her. She went from bright as a sun to a very dim nightlite. But Ali kept on skating despite the now major effort. Finally she reached the wormhole and the walking through water sensation ended. The light consuming properties of the black hole were gone and she flared up like a sun once again. But blue instead of bluish white. Ali picked up the pace as she traveled through the transdimensional conduit to another universe.

Once again she was a nightlite skating through water. The effort was murder as she had burned up a lot of power the first time. She was getting weaker. Tired. But the Blaire stubborness kept her going. It seemed like an eternity but she finally saw the tiny lights of stars in the distance. She was reaching the end at last. Putting everything she had into it bolted out of the other black hole like a yellow streak. Once clear she coasted for several light years. Then she stopped and landed on a moon where she could rest up.

After she got her second wind she tapped into the sounds of creation, the noises of THIS universe, and began to recharge. Without the machines of Galactus the regeneration period would take a little longer. Ali hoped that the thief hadn't figured out how to open the tesseract box yet.

In less than an hour a moon circling a gas giant in the Tannis Major star system glowed bright as a blue white sun. The Dazzler was charged up and ready to go. The silver garbed skater returned to the void and streaked at FTL velocity toward her destination. Along the way she saw some interesting sights. Most notibly was the occasional alien dressed in a green and black costume wearing a glowing ring. He, she and it were travelling through space with nothing but a green glow surrounding them.

As she passed what had to be this universe's version of her solar system Ali saw something that had to be seen to be believed. A white dog, in a red cape, chasing a spacecraft. Barking at it like it was chasing a car. The ship was an ugly skull shaped thing with tentacles protruding from the bottom. The dog caught the spacecraft, by one of its tentacles, and shook it in its mouth like it was a dog toy. Then a man and a girl caught up with the pooch. He wore a blue costume with red trunks, boots and a red cape like the dog's. The girl wore a cheerleader version of the same outfit. Both had an "S" symbol on their chests. All three existed in space without any visible means of protection. Not even a glowing aura like herself or those aliens in the matching costumes. Oh I have GOT to check this place out when I'm done, Ali thought.

She continued on light year after light year. Parsec after parsec. Then the trail ran cold. Ali stopped and found herself floating in the middle of nowhere. The Ultimate Nullifier should be here but there was nothing. Just empty space. The nearest star tens of light years away. Ali floated, hand to chin, rubbing her lower lip, trying to figure it out. Maybe he was using a cloaking device. Like in Star Trek.

Suddenly.

"I am Metron!"

"AAAAHHH!!"
