It hadn't been a particularly bright day to begin with, but the sky had started to darken in the early afternoon. All the weather experts were predicting snow to fall and sure enough, big fat snow flakes started to fall late in the afternoon.
The snow wasn't the only thing people were anticipating.
Something hung in the hair. Something dark and heavy and regardless of the positive thinking everyone was trying to do, everyone knew what today was.
Today was the day Galactus arrived on Earth.
Earth's lead scientists and experts had been tracking the being's movement ever since it had entered the Virgo Supercluster. It was moving at a fast but steady pace. Their eyes were to the sky, as the being quickly blew past the Triangulum Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy. They were holding their breath, hoping for a miracle that the being might decide to not enter the Milky Way.
The miracle didn't come.
As it rushed toward Earth, Earth's mightiest, brightest, and the best put their heads together and finalized their plans of attack. In New York City, widely believed to be the place that Galactus would touch down, had its streets cleared of civilians. As the snow continued to fall, Earth's defenses gathered all over the world. In countries like China, Russia, the UK, France, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and the USA weapons of mass destruction were being prepared. They were all aimed to the sky over New York, communicating with each other for the first time in history against a common threat. And when Galactus rushed passed Neptune, they all tensed and waited for its arrival.
Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter...
Fingers shook over buttons, but were forced steady.
Then Mars...
"NOW!" Was the common command, as the being approached the Earth. And the biggest display of power the world had ever seen exploded over the Earth in a blinding scene. When it finally cleared, what the leaders of the world had hoped for wasn't to be.
Galactus had arrived. Looking down at the Earthlings gathered, it started its descent into the city. Galactus was larger than life, but seemed to shrink as he descended so that he would be able to fit onto the city's streets. He stopped to hover a couple hundred feet in the air, finally deciding it was time to speak.
"My journey is ended! This planet shall sustain me until it has been drained of all elemental life! So speaks Galactus!" He roared. "Where is the Silver Surfer, Herald to Galactus?"
