TW: None Word Count : 2.7k

A/N: WELCOME, THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME. Sorry not sorry but like life just came and made me inactive sorry <3. Now here is the next prologue, the next chapter will be the start! In this story Eli and the other VKs are still kids and this is how they all met, and some foreshadowing in the group dynamics. HOPE YALL ENJOY!

AGAIN, NOT PROOF READ. if there is any mistakes or like just things that are confusing. Please forgive me for this is just my early days of writing, also if you notice a like change of past or just vibes at the ending parts. That is because thats when i came back to continue this chapter. ANYWAYS JUST ENJOY PLZ.

“Do you know who your father is, Eli?” A boy with white hair and black roots asked Eli. Carlos was his name, ever since Eli could remember he was with him. Being neighbors did make them closer than the other kids in the alley.

Today was a gloomy day at the isle, it wasn’t that different from most days; and like any other day Eli dragged Carlos with him to find something to do in the isle. There they passed countless people laying in the streets with just mere boxes and metal sheets sheltering them, going under the hazardly built complex of the buildings in the isle and passing the people who worked almost everyday.

“Why ask?” Eli replied and looked back at him.

our voices were so high pitched back then. We both were in our daily garments with patches of fabrics that covered out past activities that left holes, in the isle it was rare to have multiple sets of clothing.

“I was wondering since..” Carlos continued while he walked closer to Eli “I asked my mom who my dad was last night!” He whispered only loud enough for them to hear

“Who is he?” Eli whispered back, they both now stood blocking the middle of the walkway.

Carlos gave Eli a frown in return. He looked at the ground before answering him with another whisper “Mom just told me to stop asking and to never ask the same question ever again. and made me sleep early...”.

“So you don’t know?”

“Well…yeah..”

“well..” Eli was trying to think of a way to cheer him up a bit, then a memory came to mind. It was when he tried asking my mom the same thing. “Well my dad is a monster! So it's fine if you don’t know yours...”

The old nanny that came with mom to the isle told me this story. I tried asking mom and she just looked terrified when I did. The nanny then grabbed me and left my mom in the room and told me the story of how my mother was kidnaped by an evil monster alone and then left her with me by her side. It wasn’t until I grew older that I was finally told the truth, again making sure my mom was out of sight when the nanny told me the truth.

“A monster?” Carlos looked at Eli with a confused look. “Yeah!”

“So your…your half monster?” Carlos asked with a confused smirk

“I think? Is that how it works?”

It was laughable how little we knew back then; still kids. In a place we didn’t even know was that bad since we didn’t even know any other place than the isle.

He started to laugh, Eli cheered him up with his cluelessness. They would then continue exploring the isle, looking through crevices they found with fungi growing in them, Abandoned buildings that collapsed in itself, and the bustling space of merchants.

As they strolled down the streets they saw two girls. One had jet black hair like the roots of Carlos the other had navy blue hair. They seemed to be arguing over something.

“Mal I think we’re lost…” The bluenette said to the ravenette. “Relax, Eve! I know the way back.”

Even as kids, Mal was always so stubborn; yet was still with Evie. Those two even back then were inseparable. Be it for better or worse. Huh.. I just noticed that nickname Mal gives her, Eve. Didn’t know that even back then she called her that.

“A-are you sure? It's getting dark soon…” Evie asked Mal, they were holding hands the entire time. With Evie now tugging at her to make Mal look at her.

“I-...I’m sure Eve..I-” Before the ravenette can continue Carlos interjected and asked them. “Are you both lost?”

The bluenette noticed the boy and was thankful that someone was there, that might even be able to help them. “Yes, please help us. We-". "No we’re not.” said the raven haired girl that now has an unpleasant face.

“It's obvious you are.” Eli said, finally showing his presence and walking to stand next to Carlos. “We can help you, I’m Carlos by the way, I'm Cruella's Son! We're used to these parts of the isle so we can help you easily!”

“You can? Oh what a lucky princess I am! Two brave knights came to save us Mal!” The bluenette was filled with joy with the response from Carlos. Mal was still there being stubborn and not even facing both Eli and Carlos.

“You’re a Princess?!” Carlos was in awe, but it's not like it was new to him. Eli was also royalty in his eyes. “Oh I am! I am Evie, Daughter of the Evil Queen!” She introduced herself. Evie now looked at the ravenette and nudged her elbow a bit, but she wasn’t budging. “This is Mal. She’s a close friend of mine and the daughter of the great Maleficent!”

“And you are?” Mal then asked in a still annoyed tone, she was aiming the question to Eli. “Eli. Son of the Mad Queen of Hearts.” Evie gasped, “You’re royalty too?!”

“Hmmm I think?” Eli responded. He thought more deeply into this. “Carlos, am I a prince?”

Both Evie and Carlos answered with a loud yeah.

Mal, now getting more irritated, made a grunt for attention “Are you going to start helping us or not?”. “Where are you both heading then?” Carlos asked Evie so they could help them.

Now that I think about it. I think Mal got irritated about how close Me, Carlos, and Evie were starting to get. She was always so protective of her. I think she also got more irritated because of how close Evie was getting to Me. Which was stupid to be honest.

After a while of going through the alleyways and pathways towards their way home, Carlos and Eli were able to guide Mal and Evie back. Carlos himself was actually seemingly wanting to get closer to Evie, but Mal would always be a barrier between the two.

The entire time they were walking home, it was getting darker and closer to dusk. The sun was already down low in the horizon but they didn’t even notice that for the heart of the isle was filled with claustrophobic building complexes. They only noticed how it was getting darker and darker signaling the time of night.

However Mal was still apprehensive with the two, she was more irritated by Carlos and him trying to get closer with Evie but was suspicious of Eli’s quiet observing nature; he was behind them when walking back but didn’t talk much other than joining in a bit of conversations. She didn’t like how quiet he was.

“I’d forever be grateful for this! And I’m even more glad that I got to meet another royal!” Evie said with her high pitched voice while giving Eli a smile, even when it was now getting night time and was visibly looking tired; she still kept up her imagined image of a princess.

“It was nothing really…” Carlos blabbered with a blush on his face visible, he clearly has a crush on her. “It was nice making new friends.” Eli stated back.

It's so weird looking back and seeing Carlos having a crush on Evie, now they’re relationship is nothing more than brother and sister. I bet if I ever tell Evie that Carlos had a crush on her back then, he would be so embarrassed and ashamed. Bet Mal never forgot though, I wonder how she feels about Carlos now.

The lights were dimming, soon they would find themselves below the stars. “It's time for us to go Carlos.” Eli told him. Mal would then scout Carlos towards Eli and away from Evie as she did she said “It's night now at this point. You two should head back home.”. “O-Oh…I didn’t notice it was this late now…” Carlos looked up at the fog polluted skies. “Come on Carlos.” Eli grabbed him and started heading back home.

“Ah- WAIT.” Carlos tried to stop Eli from dragging him a bit. “GOODBYE EVIE! BYE MAL!” he screamed since he wanted to say farewell but couldn’t stop Eli from making him go. “GOODBYE SHINING KNIGHTS!” Evie waved back towards Carlos and Eli who were about to turn into an alleyway where they would last see them for the night. Mal on the other hand was thankful they left, sure they helped her. But they also irritated her a lot.

The streets were dark and littered with men and women, some were drinking, some were talking, most were smoking. It wasn’t really a child friendly place to be in, but by some miracle. Eli and Carlos were able to get home safely.

Albeit with a long scolding by Eli’s mom Mary. Carlos was supposed to go to his home but Cruella, his mom, wasn’t home yet. She would work day by day sewing and tailoring for the people of the isle. It was the only way she could earn a living and raise her only child, both her and Mary would sometimes switch responsibilities in taking care of the children when the old nanny wasn’t around.

After the punishment of kneeling on the floor for a long period of time given to them, Eli and Carlos got to bed. They shared a room in cases like this. Eli would sleep on his bed while Carlos would sleep on the spare mattress, if Cruella was taking care of them. It would be vice versa but in Carlos' room.

Carlos asked Eli while looking at the ceiling thinking back to the girls they met. “Do you think they're cute? Evie and Mal I mean…” There was a period of silence. Eli was contemplating about his answer

“I don’t have much of an interest in them if i'm being honest…They’re nice, well Evie seems to be. But nothing much of note rather than Evie being a princess like me.” Eli answered back now looking towards Carlos from his bed.

“Ever since we met, you never thought of girls as being cute…why?” Carlos asked him not maliciously but just curiously, Eli chuckled. “It’s simple, I don’t see them as that. I find other boys to be much more appealing!”.

Now this was a big lie, in fact. When I was younger, I never found any other boy to be appealing. The taller more mature men though, now that was what I found appealing even at that age.

“Huh... .Am I cute?” Carlos asked him.

“In a scared little kitty way, yeah!” Eli answered him with a smile while cuddled up with his pillow and blanket.

“...” Carlos looked away from him and remained silent.

“Carlos?” Eli called.

“...”

That was the first ever time I got the silent treatment from him. He may be soft and just little back then, but he took such pride in being a ‘man’ as he would say back then. Even when I grow older like now, I still find that stupid.

PANG!....

It was early in the morning, the moon hadn't even set yet. However Eli and him being a light sleeper woke up to noise coming from the kitchen. He looked over at his side and saw Carlos wasn’t there now. Cruella must have brought him home after she came back from her job.

PONG!...

He heard it again, more noise from the kitchen. It sounded like falling metal things, like the pots and pans used for cooking. It was attached to some doors at the kitchen cabinets so he wondered if it fell because it was recklessly opened.

He got out of bed to check what was happening downstairs, was it his mother?

When he got there, he found a tan skinned boy going through the cabins of the kitchen with food wrappings scattered at the floor alongside the crumbs. Some notable silverware was gone missing and supposedly now in the boy’s pockets.

“When robbing someone, shouldn’t it be done quietly?” Eli was able to grab the burglar’s attention. The balancing act he was doing while going through the cabin vanished for he was startled, causing him to fall into the floor.

“Wow…” Eli was surprised how clumsy this boy was.

The boy had dark brunette hair that was reaching his shoulders while wearing red, even as he laid on the floor Eli could tell he was taller than him. It was silent after that. The boy eyed him, he couldn’t think of what to do now.

As protection, Eli bent down to grab one of the cooking pans that fell. Even as his burglar seemed clumsy and a meat head, he wanted to have a way to protect himself.

“..Why aren’t you screaming…” The boy asked him as he sat up from the floor looking up at him.

“‘Cause you're a kid.” Eli answered simply, he pointed the pan at the boy’s face and continued “If you were an adult I wouldn’t have even spoken and ran to my mom.”

“..Are you not scared of me?” He asked.

“No. You’re a child, not much to fear than your idiocy.” He told him. Food crumbs were still visible on the boy’s mouth. “If you were hungry my mom would have fed you out of pity. Now while I’m still merciful, give back those things you stole. Now.”

“..Fine…..” The boy stood up and grabbed all the spoons and such from his pockets and dumped them to the sink. “I said back to where you stole them. Not. The. Sink.” Eli was ready to strike the boy’s face with the pan, even as the boy stood a few inches taller than him.

As the boy fled and grabbed all of it and placed it back to their rightful place Eli was noticing him more. With a more muscular form than normal, tanned skin, scruffy attire. He guessed he was from the morning merchants area not far from here. Maybe he was a laborer, some unfortunate kids in the isle are forced and made to work for whatever reason the adults had. Maybe financial aid, familial businesses, or so on.

He wasn’t that bad, “What's your name?” Eli asked him when he finished. “...are you not going to tell on me?” the boy asked him, he was worried since he was caught if he was gonna be punished. “I’m a merciful kid. Now, what is your name child?” Eli questioned him back with a condescending smirk and his cooking pan now resting on his shoulder.

“Jay. Call me Jay.” He answered back. “Well nice to meet you Jay, quite the first impression huh?” Eli showed his free hand to shake.

“What's yours?” Jay asked him. He seemed less shaken and worried now by his voice, he grabbed Eli’s hand.

Eli shook his hand and smiled at him “Eli. You can call me Eli.”

Jay had a blush when hearing the name, Eli didn’t seem to notice. “Are we friends then?” he asked

“Maybe. You have to prove to me you’re worthy though, the first impression of you being a burglar isn’t exactly helping you.” Jay smiled for it was his first time gaining a friend, one he thought was as cute as Eli.

It wasn’t that surprising that Jay and I dated once we got older, now looking back at it. That day seems more crazy as it was the first time I met other kids that I like other than Carlos. My first time meeting Mal and Evie, alongside Jay. Now look at us, we’re on our way out of the isle, going to this school we haven’t heard off since just this morning.

Mal and Evie are still quite close together, but with Mal tolerating us more. Carlos was still like a little brother to me, but now he wasn’t as quiet and shy as back then. Then there is Jay, possibly the one that knows me the best out of everyone.

It was nice when we dated, even when it hurt to break it off. Becoming and then staying friends with him was the right choice, though I am happy that I got to experience what I was like to be with him at the time. I’m sure he does too, his one of the best mistakes I ever made. Now, he is one of my closest friends.

As I stare out of this Car window, I can see the clear blue skies outside. We’ve reached Auradon and have left the isle. It's beautiful, I hate it.

An : Did you guys like it? So I tried doing a mix of 2nd and 3rd person, if you can’t tell. The initialization of paragraphs like here in the end, this is all Eli’s Monologue. Also just in case Y'all also didn’t get it, the entire chapter is just Eli reminiscing about the first time he met every other VKs! PLEASE LIKE IT, IM SORRY I’VE BEEN GONE I HOPE YALL ENJOY THIS.

A Thousand and One

Prologue - Part One (2, 3)

“Okay, Let’s Do This One Last Time…”

~~~

‘This human is weird…’

That was the first thought Grim had looking up at the dark skinned, green haired human.

He’d just managed to blast open the closest coffin with his flames, only to be greet by a human who was already awake!

“Some things never change, huh?”

Their face looked not at all surprised to see the direbeast as they easily stepped out of the coffin and looked around the mirror chamber. Their light grey eyes seemed almost…bored. Tired?

Familiar

Grim shook the thoughts of deja vu from his head, puffing himself up to look as imposing as possible.

“You’ve got a lot of nerve, ignoring a future Great Mage like myself! Now, give me those clothes, human!”

“Ah, apologies, Grim, but I feel like they’d be a bit big on you, wouldn’t you agree?”

They wore an amused smile, grinning at him as though they were old friends. It made his fur bristle.

Grim balked. “How’d you know my name?!”

They blinked, and if Grim was paying more attention he’d have noticed their shock.

“...You said it yourself. Just now? Future Great Mage Grim?”

He hissed at them. “Oh, whatever! Gimme your uniform, and be quick about it! ‘Cause if you don’t…”

Smoke at his lips escaped from his lips, a blue fireball on the tip of his tongue.

“..you’re gonna regret it!”

The human only shook their head fondly, smile not leaving their face for a moment.

“Silly kitty. If you want my robes… you’ll have to catch me first~!”

The human jumps over Grim’s head with a surprising amount of grace, and he yowls in surprise. Laughing at his reaction, the human takes off through the thick double doors.

“M-Myah?! G-get back here!”

He takes off after him, spewing fire all the way.

He finally catches up to corners them in the library, where they have the audacity to be reading a book.

“Oh? You finally decided to join me?”

“Huff…huff… Gimme…*huff* gimme those robes, human, or I’ll burn ya to a crisp!”

They tilt their head and shoot him an amused grin.

“Oh, will you really? Killing your fellow student is surely a one way ticket to expulsion, you know.”

‘What’s wrong with this kid?!’ Ignoring the morbid comment, he flicks his tail, irritated. “Don’t think I won’t! Now, take off those-“

Something strikes him, and in an instant he’s bound. ‘What the-!’

“Me-YEOWCH! That hurt! What gives?!”

Shoes clack on the library floor as deep voice scoffs from behind him.

“Consider it tough love.”

MHA x OC Prologue

Warnings: Fire ig, just a lil snippet of the real thing, not full prologue btw

Tsukauchi found himself watching the limping hero instead. Then, his eyes went back to the fire. Something else exploded, and the inferno roared in response, echoing loudly into the siren-riddled night, reverberating a doubtless promise. The flames would not be dying out anytime soon. "What a nightmare," the man repeated.

"I have to agree."

Tsukauchi blinked in surprise before turning around. He only had a second to see the man before a badge blocked his view. "The Hero Commission?" he read stupidly.

'What's the commission doing here?' he wondered.Sure, it was a very intense situation, but representatives of the commission sent aid. They never came in person, not in Tsukauchi's experience. It would ruin their freshly pressed suits, the detective thought bitterly.

The relationship between the police force and the Hero Commission was tense. It had always been. The police wanted to solve cases and catch villains, whereas the commission seemed content to sweep incidents under the rug. Of course, they apprehended the villains responsible for the crimes–by whatever means necessary–but never let the police know who it was. That usually left the police with a severe lack of evidence and an abundance of cold cases. If that made the commission come to Tokyo, Tsukauchi wouldn't just sit back.

He carefully watched the man, taking in the plainness of his face and the neatness of his slicked-back brown hair. The professionalism of it matched his spotless black suit, the detective thought. The sunglasses were an odd touch. Tsukauchi chalked it up to a commission thing before extending a professional hand. The suit-wearing man glanced at the appendage with disgust before staring coldly at the detective. He retracted his hand, grateful the man hadn't taken it. 'Fine. I didn't want to touch you either.'

"My name is not important, and I'm already aware of yours," he said, voice just as plain as he was.

It seemed introducing oneself was another thing the commission wasn't fond of. 'See if I care.'

He did care.

The detective had always felt like he and the police force were under the commission's boot, and they always liked to remind him of that fact. They had always been that way. So eager to remind him how little he and the rest of the force mattered. Tsukauchi opened his mouth to retort, only to close it when Suit spoke. "I'm looking for someone," he stated plainly. Yet also, as if he expected Tsukauchi to care.

The detective was silent for a few beats before gesturing behind him. "Yeah, we all are. The one responsible for that can't stay on the streets."

'Even if the commission wants it under the rug,' went unsaid, but damn, Tsukauchi wanted to say it.

The suit didn't care, not even acknowledging Tsukauchi's words and what they implied. "She'll be in there somewhere," he nodded to the flames, "and you need to find her for me."

"She's–" Tsukauchi closed his mouth before opening it again, repeating the action a few times as he struggled to respond to the impossible order.

Did the sunglasses impair his vision or something? Tsukauchi looked at the absolute mess behind him. How was he supposed to find someone in that, exactly? Even if he could find one girl, the detective still needed to find the villain behind it all. He didn't have time to search for and identify a–most certainly–dead woman.

His face must've given all his thoughts away because the man from the commission sighed before–with great annoyance–putting one of Tsukauchi's main concerns to rest. "You don't need to worry about finding the culprit behind this. We know who it was and have already acted accordingly."

It wasn't a lie, the detective decided. Did it still piss him off? Yes. But he was more surprised than angry at the moment. Did they find the villain already? In the middle of all the chaos?

The suit didn't give Tsukauchi any time to linger on his confusion. He began speaking once again. "As for the one you'll be looking for–" guess he didn't have a choice, "–she's a small girl–four foot eleven inches, to be precise–with long black hair. However, her eyes are her most distinctive feature. They're a mix of blue, purple, and pink, quite difficult to get confused with someone else's."

"She'll be in or under the building somewhere," he added.

"She won't be alive," was the detective's immediate response, although it was regretful.

The man didn't flinch in the slightest. He was unbothered by the statement–more than expecting it, it seemed the suit almost wanted it that way–almost like he wanted her dead. It bothered Tsukauchi a little, but he pushed the feeling down, taking the man's card with a small sigh. It seemed he was going to be ignored once again.

"We don't need her alive."

Perhaps not. However, Tsukauchi began to wish the suit had just ignored him because the lack of concern behind that statement made his skin crawl.

"We just need to confirm where she is."

Scaled Justice - [Prologue]

After so long, I've finally gone out my way to smash out this piece. Hope y'all enjoy what been waiting for. TW: Light Cursing

╭────────────── · · 𓍝 · ·──────────────╮

Dull unpleasant feeling washed over Glitch. Well... that's the name he thought he was called. Lying aimlessly against an invisible force of darkness floating away. An abyss of sorts surrounded him as were his memories hazy, no recollection of how many days faded by. Not even his own past... Where he was from. His yellowy-red eyes gaze confusedly around his surroundings, nothing but emptiness. Greyish-black rays twitched against the top of his head as the coldness of the room brew around him. A hand brushed the bridge of his nose, adjusting the glasses that sat there. His right side blurry as he tried recalling his actions before this.

“Ugh, what happened?” “Why am I here?” “How long has it been?”

millions of questions with no way of finding answers. Thoughts scattered Glitch's mind, before long sounds of footsteps chilled through the room. Admits darkness, an island of sorts illuminated a secluded area. Glassy ductile gold reflected ones soul. His chest tightened at the very sight, tugging his shirt a little in his grasp. Shaking the jolt, Glitch hoisted himself, brushing the dust of his sweater. Red as a rose, soft material matching the hue of his eyes. Over it, wore a black coat around his shoulders, the lapel lined with a bright yellow down to the waist.

Picking up the pace to the distant clatter, the noise grew louder as did uneasiness arise. His scarf waving faster with each passing movement he took. From afar, it look to be some sort of yard glistening with variously tall Closing into what looked to be the entrance, he recognised the glowing candles that sat on top the ends of weighted plates. Each held to a perfect balance attached to a triangular rod, circular orbs each end keeping it stable to a tea.

Glitch pondered at their designs, sliding a hand against one of their frames. The coldness from the gold-plated pillars gave a sense of familiarity from such ancient masterpieces. He glances down a padded path, floating plates of stone leading down a secreted pattern. From where he was, he could tell this was the ‘Entrance’ to some realm. The abyss behind him surrounding such enchanting and mystical structures couldn't help but venture.

Prodding down the path, each scale had a particular shape to them., emblems of sorts like a Ying/Yang. He had knowledge of such things before but seeing with his own eyes brought a smile to his face. His posture straightened as he wondered ever so slowly through this unknown place.

With each step, the footsteps echoed left to right. Was hard to depict the exact location. He motioned himself close to one particular scale, feeling some sort of connection with the peculiar structure. Dark streaks of black cracks loomed over the edges and down the sides of the scale. A gradient mixture between gold and midnight blue lingered the base. Brushing his hand over the sides, he fiddled with the scale disk, a cold touch against his fingers. His mind was intrigued with each part, analysing with big interest. Too deep in thought, he didn’t sense the presence lingering behind him. A distant glare through the murkiness, ominous steps closed in on Glitch, still unaware the suspension alluding not far from him.

"So you’re the new one, how unfortunate" a deep chilling voice emerged from the depths behind Glitch. The tone detached yet unemotional with a sentimental authority. Alerted, Glitch swung his body round, arms raised, fists clasped into a defensive position. Narrow eyes met with sharp mono, heterochromia ones. Half a splitting canary yellow with the other an Egyptian blue shade, similar to his own. They seemed to be the same species as himself however cracks covered parts their dark-grey faceplates. A suit worn with a watch locket against his breast pocket. A strange feeling gloomed over that particular item, a sense of strong power illuminating. Glitch furrowed his brows, lips tightening with nothing to say. A suspiciousness loomed between them, only the sounds of metal chimed and clanked the area. Something about them felt 'familiar' to Glitch but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what...

"Are you going to just stand there or tell me your name boy?" the man crossed his arms, finger tapping the edge of his elbow impatiently. Glitch shook out his little trance like state, hesitantly looking up to the individual. They weren’t much taller than him but still didn't shake the intimidation off his shoulders. Reluctant to answer Glitch sighed, placing his clenched hands into his coat pockets.

"I-it's...Glitch" "That's it? I thought as much, after all you did lose your memories after the 'incident'" The man sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. Glitch noticed the others disappointed in their tone as then to realise something.

"wait, incident? What are you talking about?" Glitch remarked, eyes widened in disbelief. "Your world was destroyed remember? After-would you got brought here in the Abyss to have a second chance in life" "so I died" Glitch concluded staring down, dark shadow over his eyes. Paradox on the other hand, mouth hung open, blinking in disbelief. His face contorted in annoyance before facepalming himself, groans and inaudible muffles shaking his head.

"Of course you didn’t die you idiot for scales sake, fine let me explain, my names Paradox and I'm the Deity of Time and Space. I will be your new mentor for your new purpose. You were summoned here for a reason and I'm here to give you that power" Glitch furrowed in confusion, evident enough with uncertainty as to what Paradox was talking about. Though he did sigh with relief, slouching his shoulders down knowing he didn't end up down under.

Glitch took his time digesting the new information, his hand brushing his chin absorbed in the details. He furrowed his brows passing a little in the spot.

"what's the catch? What power could I gain when I don't even have any but this weird coding thing" As Glitch spoke, he summoned a glitched box torn from within the air loading all sorts of binary. The numbers giving anyone a headache if they tried deciphering them. Paradox smirked intrigued with an unsettling chuckle under his breath.

"I bestow you Glitch Void to be the Guardian of Destruction, obtaining the ability to destroy worlds with the flick of a switch. The catch... You must protect all Guardians amongst our Multiverse" Paradox stood firm, arms behind his back as he strode past Glitch, a mere husky whisper yet audible enough to hear. In a moment’s notice, Glitch jolted up, shivers all through his body like static pinching his limbs.

"Wow wow WHAT?!!" Glitch panicked, his mouth quivering in fear and shock, not comprehending the whole situation well. He stared into space as Paradox walked right passed him holding what looked to be some watch of sorts.

"In due time you will learn you'll learn this power and purpose" "but for now, you must meet the others and be one with this Multiverse" " Your Scale has only just Begun" With that, Paradox turned back around watching as a portal to an unfamiliar place opens wide in the open. Shinning some colour to the blackness.

"W-WAIT DONT GO!" Glitch lunged forward, arm forward attempting to grasp onto Paradox’s vest only to fall through the portal of sorts into whole new surroundings. Collapsing to the floor with a loud 'THUMP' he groaned at contact. Lifting his sore body off from the ground, he adjusted his glasses. Somehow, they were still intact after the fall, surprising him.

After tidying himself up. He took notice of his surroundings, after all he did try chasing after Paradox but unfortunately they were nowhere to be seen. He gritted his teeth as he stared down to his hands. He obtained some destructive power but he had a sense of doubt, misfortune that he had to destroy precious worlds. Some reason deep down he felt some attachment to them, he hoped 'one day' to figure it out.

Sighing, he stood firmly analysing everything around him, trees of many colours, blossoms of various species littered the fields. It was like some sort of heavenly garden. Pillars and fences lead down a rocky path. Curious, Glitch picked the pace and followed down the trail. The sweet smell of flowers as the hot rays of the sun beamed down on him felt like something he hadn't felt in years... Made him question how long he was in that realm.

Approaching an end to the path, he spotted a brick water fountain, dainty water poppies and aquatic flowers around the grove. The sites was mesmerising, sparking a sense of calmness and relaxation through his body. Closing into the fountain, he watched as his reflection swirled through the waters it obtained. Glitch eyes grew large, unaware his appearance being so different than what he recalled. Despite a fuzzy memory, small flickers of images flood his mind once in a while. One in particular included his appearance. Whatever happened in his world must have corrupted his coding, that's all he could think.

Without second thought, as he was about to sit up to look around more, a thick green tentacle of sorts slashes cross his face. Fast reflexes, Glitch avoids the impact. The catastrophic damage it could have caused as he looked towards the direction it came from. Glitch peered behind himself, finding himself surrounded by two individuals.

Both skele-tronics of sorts admitting intense power and strength. One wore a dark blue cape of sorts, having similar rays to Glitch but instead a bright dandy yellow colour, an emblem of a sun on his coat gave the impression of a prince of sorts, though his aura gave some positive energy to the room. The other one, a dark lingering power eerie off them, four drippy tentacles of sorts latched from his back as he wore a forest green turtleneck. A black leather restraint harness, strapped around his shoulders to his tights.

Just from one glance, it gave Glitch chills but something else deep down he felt his chest skip a beat. Face slightly flushed a light blue barely visible, but the hot feeling was pretty evident to himself.

"Who are you and how did you get here!!" the one with tentacles threat, walking closer and gripping Glitches collar. He pulled him down with immense strength that he thought falling to his knees.

"Calm down brother I-I'm sure they are new Guardian the uppers have been talking about" the second one tried reassuring, attempts to settle the situation. Sweat dripped nervously against Glitch forehead as he chuckled unintentionally. Lifting his arms up, giving into the confrontation. Taking a deep breath, Glitch slowly pulled himself up from the other, out-strengthening them. With a small grin quickly planting on his face, Glitch soon twisted the figures body over his back into an arm lock. Their head against his knee as was his arm locked and lifted against his torso. The other yelped in pain as he tried getting out of the hold. His brother watching in amazement but also concern. “Next *huff* time you do that *huff* don’t charge at someone who is defenceless” Glitch puffed feeling exhausted as it was quite a move he pulled out of the blue. The one on the ground gritted their teeth audibly before being released and rubbing his arm. “Well apologies, names Shade Spirit, this is my younger twin brother Light.” “Now who the fuck are you” Shade glared with hint of sarcasm in his lines still rubbing his sore arms. Light wondered over beside him checking it out for any muscle tears. Glitch sighed with some relief, releasing the tense feeling he never realised he had in his shoulders. “My names Glitch…Void, yeah Void, I-I’m the Guardian of Destruction?” Glitch questioned himself remembering what Paradox referred to them as. Shade and Light looked up blinking at Glitch, surprise in their widened eyes. They seemed in thought as they pulled away from Glitch. “BROTHER, WE HAVE A DESTROYER!!!” “I heard you loud and clear geez calm your ass down” “Well sorry~ that we have one to help out, it’s been hundreds of years since there ever was one after all. The situation between creation and destruction after all” “Those are all fantasies, but at least now we know there’s going to be a creator which is a ‘problem’”

The two bickered with another, inaudible to Glitches distance. He tilted his head in confusion, attentive to know what they were muffling about; however, he did respect boundaries after all they did only just meet.

From what felt like hours, the two shuffled back towards Glitch, Light grasping their arm carelessly pulling them away from the fountain down a particular rocky path. Glitch squeaked unexpectedly being dragged through the same pathway he went through initially to get there. Nearing an intersection, lead three different routes: each with its own pillar and symbol. The right one held a symbol of the moon, left held symbol of the sun which left the middle with a cracked pillar. The image on it, disfigured to a point of no recognition. It was disturbing but made sense if it matched his position. But one thing still bothered Glitch. What was that about being responsible with all Guardians. A question he didn’t know to ask Shade or Light his new…comrades. Turning his attention towards Shade, he found something fascinating about them. Despite their rough first impression, he didn’t seem too bad. He had a calmness to his dark aura, that made Glitch feel warm inside. ‘why do I feel this way’ Glitch pondered to himself, was he falling for them? He couldn’t. He was soon interrupted from his thoughts as Shade poked his face with one of his tendrils. “Hey you alive? You were staring at me for a while” Glitch flushed dark blue as he tried covering his face with his scarf, hot feeling to his face making it pretty obvious to Light. He chuckled at Glitches reaction compared to Shades obliviousness to it. Shade just blinked in confusion crossing his arms grumpily and impatiently. “We should probably explain this place to you” Light lead Glitch to a nearby bench by the pillars, the wooden textures giving chills at the first contact. Shade sits next to him, pulling a book from nowhere, seeming uninterested in explaining. Light giving a sigh knew this would happen and decided to explain. “Glitch Void, New Destroyer of AU’s, Welcome to the Royal Gardens, a place where all Guardians of our Multiverse gather and help to keep balance.” Glitch nodded attentively taking notes, his body leaned forward. “We each represent a part of what makes the multiverse operate and you are in charge of cleaning up any Au’s that must be banished. This usually is when the new creator is around, but we are hoping they are a ‘good’ guardian” “Interesting, and my guess is that if they are disrespecting the rules then something must be resolved soon as possible?” “Correct, if there is anything you need to know ask myself or Shade, we currently lead the team here. If you prove yourself maybe you could help us out” Glitch looked away, thinking over each word. Leaning back, he stared up at the sky; the big white clouds passing by along the cool breeze passing by. Glitch closed his eyes, enchanted in the new reality he was going to face. Maybe this could help him remember his past.. “I want to help others…I love Au’s with a passion, the scales must be one with the multiverse” Glitch muttered, Shade and Light listened unintentionally with furrowed brows; unsure what he meant. Glitch soon got up from his spot in a justle, a sudden adrenaline boost through his body as he smiled. “I’ve made up my mind…I will help you guys, will try my best to be a good leader someday and when that Creator comes, I will be ready” Glitch chimed with a cheery bright expression. Shade smirked in amusement, a small tint of cyan on his face. Light stared with a smug grin on his face as he shrugged Shades shoulder. The three soon gathered back to the fountain to discuss other matters and meet the various guardians that roamed the gardens. I will protect the multiverse. my second chance in life. I can’t let this go to waste. What’s the worst thing that could happen in few years.
