Chapter 3: A New World Order

[IOwnedYou]

[ Seven Years Ago ]

A battle of life and death. His inner demons took control of him. He took Kin into a coma. He almost destroyed Smashbro... His old friend. A strange little girl who turned out to be more than he expected. His demon was sealed back inside and he was left to die in the middle of nowhere. Of course... That didn't happen. He wandered through darkness for 4 years. He lived in an abandoned town for 3 years. Crehavos had now ruled, he wasn't going to take that. He was going to kill him. He rid himself of his own demon at last and tore the limiter off to make sure. No demon.

[ Present day ]
[ Watching from afar the field of battle ]

"Children... That's what these people are. I used to be like that, murder anything in sight. No... Now I have an objective. Kill.... The lord of hell by any means necessary", Zenkai or previously known as IOwnedYou for a nickname. "This world is not yours for the taking... Crehavos. I refuse to let you have it. I may not be able to kill you, but by all means I can stop you", he was talking to himself or whispering rather. He pulled out his blade, which was now in full strength. He looked over the edge of the cliff to see all the desruction. He jumped down from the cliff ready to go into battle...

Age: 29

Demon: Destroyed

[Big Boss]

{Tatarus, desert sea of red}

I must be hearing things...i could of swore i heard war..i swear i could of heard it...


The desert was calm, yet no man would ever want to trek in these sands...the endles red could cause a man to lose his mind....force a man to change his mental state...just like Kin
tatarus desert Kin, age 23 years

I want to get out of here...i need to get out...i need to get...home.

Wandering the desert for hours at end each day, for seven years, being alone...nobody there any noise that was made in his surrounding triggerd actions..imagine, or seven years having to live in fear of not knowing what could lay await for you..each and every day is a fight for mental stability and your soul.

so alone...

The last time Kin had any sort of encounters was about 4 years ago, when he found a traveling demon heard, camping for the night, Kin just wanted to see if they had any information to get out..but all the demons did was beat him to near death again, they stole his coat, gloves and shoes..they tried to take his headband, but Kin would never give it up..they also took his sword and his dark matter orb...all he had left was his gun, given to him by snake and some torn rags...you can pity the man..for once aproud mighty warrior, he was now reduce to nothing.Kin thought to himself.."he" wanted it this way. "he" was Crehavos..Kin could not recall much of him anymore..but he knew someone did this to him...he barely remembers his proud SSS years..but he remembers his childhood....but he dosent remeber anyone else..Geo..who?

The black sun was starting to go down..nightfall was soon, Kin knew he had a choice..look further, or find a hopefully safe shelter..at night the sand worms like to feed on demons..and Kin was no exception to there carnivorus diet...But sand worms and sorts of different desert cacti were his only sort of nutrition for seven years.

i need food, tonight i must hunt

Kin took out his gun, and conjerd up some silver energy..and created bullets. and loaded his gun.

again a voice went through his mind, it has been haunting him for the first da he has been in tatarus and this day since seven years later. the voice echoed "stare into the empty walls of oblivion, you are nothing....give up..you are just scraping the edge of nothing...give up."

you are wrong...leave me alone...please leave me alone..

Silver energy was something he could only use at certian times of the day..his power level wasnt near his standards..so he saved it for when he could only hunt. Kin sat down and stared into the sunset..and waited for the first sight of sand moving..this would be the sign of a sand worm..he wanted to avoid the giant ones..the younger ones were the perfect size. he wanted to avoid what happened last year

The sun finnaly went down, and right in que about five worms sprouted out, all in good size. Kin jolted up and ran down to where the five where, he pointed up his gun and fired a few shots at them...but they diddnt flinch, they kept on roaming the sea of sand..this frightened Kin for only a few shots of silver bullets could take them down easily..

why arent they dead?...
"give up"

right when Kin heard that mysterious voice the worms dissapeared, and 5 rocks of different sizes took there place
"its all an illusion..everything is an illusion, dont you get it..who are you, you are also an illusion"

rocks....just rocks...GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!

"it is pointelss..nobody can hear you besides me..nobody."

Kin just stood up again..and walked..and walked..and walked...untill he came upon a cacti.

god, please be real...i wish to drink.

he pressed his hands on it, and it was infact real..Kin knew that if his hands were red, then it was real.

thank you...

[Crehavos]
[Mt. Coronet --> Hall of Origin]

It was very quiet, the darkness of nightfall covered Mt. Coronet like a blanket. The now "Emperor" Crehavos had arrived here during the hours of dusk to make his routine inspections on a certain creature. He materialized in front of the cavern entrance located at the mountain base, proceding through the doorway with only the light sounds of his footsteps echoing against the cavern walls. This place had a very majestic feeling that pleasantly tingled every nerve in your body. The Dark Emperor, however, did not feel such a blissful sensation. He did not feel... at all.

Slowly he ascended through the cavern floors, climbing ancient stairways and floating up alongside rickedy ladders. The crystals that littered inside the mountain shone brightly with an unknown energy source, piercing the grim darkness to show faint, eerie light. Finally, Crehavos emerged from the lower caverns to a raging blizzard, so chilling and bitter. He trodded onwards through a whole foot of snow, it all melting as soon as it came in contact with the Hell Lord. Crehavos then shot off in mid-air to a cliff higher up, finding yet another higher cavern entrance. With a few mere flights of stairs, Crehavos found himself at the peak of the mountain, and in place for the calling. Crehavos pulled out an odd looking sort of flute, appearing to be crafted ages and ages ago. He then brought it to his mouth, and began to blow. As though it did it of it's own will, the Azure Flute played a marvelous, yet somewhat mystifying tune. Once Crehavos finished playing, there was a long pause. And right on cue, there was a blinding flash of white light. Once it cleared, a staircase that seemed to be made of glass panels appeared, ascending into the night sky above.

Strangely enough, when the staircase to the heavens appeared, two burly, armored guards holding flails appeared as well; obviously guarding the stairs for some reason. They both bowed before Crehavos as he passed by, walking up. After a long climb up this never ending staircase, the Hell Lord finally arrived at the top of it. To a mysterious hall miles above Mt. Coronet. It was rather windy up so high, the Hell Lord's cloak was whipping around him wildly. Striding down the hall further and further until he came to the very end of it; two giant silhouettes only shown through the dark.

There was a pair of red eyes glowing, and a screech of delight. The giant Renegade Pokémon, Giratina, was thrilled to see his master. He bent over, rubbing up against Crehavos, the Hell Lord not reacting in the slightest other than staring blankly at the dragon. He pat the Pokémon on the head briefly, and focused his attention of the slightly smaller being off at the edge of the hall. The creature was lying low on the floor, legs and neck locked with glowing red chains. The majestic creature took little notice of the Hell Lord's entrance, but merely spoke to him dully.

"Here for your usual inspection, Crehavos?" The creature asked, sounding depressed.

"Indeed, Arceus." Crehavos spoke, voice sounding horribly empty.

Crehavos eyed all the chains, floors, walls, and skies very carefully; making sure there was not the slightest hint that there would be a breech in security. The Hell Lord then said, "There are no escape routes left open, as usual."

Arceus sighed, "What's new? There never is."

Crehavos stared for a few moments at the beast, eyeing it as if it were going to do something spontanious.

"Do you feel guilty, Arceus? Are you guilty that you can not help those whom you cherish? Are you saddened by the fall of the worlds? Are you angry with me for comitting these sinful acts?" Crehavos paused for a moment, then speaking, "I know you are, I can sense it deep within you."

"Crehavos, you fool. You do not know how I truly feel about this situation. You can not even feel an emotion in the first place. All of this destruction and death... this is not the way life is suppose to be treated. You aren't suppose to interfere!" Arceus exclaimed.

Crehavos cocked his head slightly, saying, "Really? Well isn't that a shame."

"It most certainly is. It's a shame that you have caused all of this torture and despair. You may have brought about the Apocalypse as the prophecies fortold, but that does NOT mean that it will never come back to haunt you! I can guarantee it, Crehavos!" The Original One retorted.

The Dark Emperor's head tilted back upright. He turned his attention to the stars above, as though Arceus was not even worth a d**n in his eyes. With one cold, and final word, he said, "Pity."

With that stated, Crehavos turned on his heel and swiftly left the once sacred Hall of Origin, vanishing once his foot touched ground off the stairs below.

[Sour, Donin]

As Sour got water, he noticed...where was Donin. It was getting dark and its too dangerous to go out at night.

Sour went to go look for it. He saw Donin slicing a wall with his swords "Elasticity" but he saw the look in his eyes. The look was a cold heartless evil look. When Donin noticed Sour his face changed.

Donin: today were going to do something different.

Sour: what is that?

Donin: Were going out into the night, its time to leave. We can't get too accustomed to an area.

Sour: I'll go get my staff and the supp...

Donin: NO! we start from scratch. eat something, collect your strength, we dont know how long we will be out there for.

Sour went to go eat. He remembered legends from the Black Alley about going into the night. Once you go in, you'll never see daylight, as if its darkness surrounding you forevor.

Sour then thought to himself: Why would I care about stupid legends. Besides, their all a bunch of traitors and liars. Their in a better place now.

Sour didnt feel so hungry anymore. He then left ready to roam into the darkness waiting for them...sudeenly, a burst of courage went through his head.

Sour: Im not doing it. I...I jus cant..

Donin: fine, but since you wont go into the darkness, how about we have a sparring match...with two rules, no killing and we have to fight until morning.

Donin thought: this will test his endurance, I will be able to see his fighting style and find strengths and weaknesses with it.

Sour got into a fighting stance: he closed his eyes and waited for a second. the his eyes flashed open. A slight smile struck across his face.

Sour: LETS GO!

[peram]

Peram sat down on the floor and started counting to 2000. He had nothing else to do since he didn't know where anyone was, or what they were doing. He just hoped they were okay. He pulled out his black Ipod, and plugged it into the wall. As he did so, he put on his headphones, planning to listen to it as it charged. He scrolled through a long list of artists until he found the one he was looking for, then chose the only song by that person.

[Donin, Sour]

Donin looked at Sour through his veil. Sour could tell that he was letting him start the duel. All was silent, but the rustiling of the wind on the mountain forest which seemed to be alive. Then, Sour began running at top speed towards Donin. Donin simply stood there with he haand on his sword. Sour started to swing his staff at Donin, but Donin simply countered his staff attack with an "X" cross of his double blades. "Come on" Donin said, "I know you can do better than that." Right after Donin finished his sentence he could feel wind coming from behind him; It was Sour.

Donin was blown into a nearby tree where he simply landed on it sideways feet first. He stood firmly being pushed by the wind as if gravity did not apply. Sour then, ran through the wind towards Donin. Donin jumped off the tree towards Sour, swords like wings. They collided, both backwards to eachother, breathing. Suddenly, blood trickled from Sour's cheek, while some of Donin's cloth was hanging from his staff. "Very good...but not good enough!!" Donin speed up towards Sour, swords trailing the ground. Sour braced for impact.

Donin slashed his swords at Sour, Sour could only defend. Sour then began throwing his staff. Donin was blown back by enormous power. "Now, I'll show my true power!!" yelled Sour. Sour sprinted up to Donin and began to jab with tremendoes speed and power. Donin, caught off guard, could only try to defend. He cliped the staff out of Sour hands, and it landed slanted in teh ground behind Sour. "Now your mine!!" Donin yelled.

Suddenly They both heard grunts and rustle from teh bushes...

"What....what the hell are those things?!?" Sour whispered. "I...I don't know..." Donin said...


3 small 4 legged beast emerged fromt eh shadows...each snarling and foaming at the mouth with the taste for blood
"Brace yourself" Donin said...

[Rorschach]

Sour looked at those 3 creatures.

Sour thought ot himself: Damnet, im at a standstill, I cant make any sudden movements because who knows what those things can do......but then again I need my staff in case they try to attack. damnet damnet DAMNET!!!

Sour: well does this still count toward the fighting until morning?

Donin: HELL YEAH!!

Sour: OK LETS GO!

Sour quickly ran over to his the best but feinted them, doing a 270 degree turn and sprinting for his staff...Sour grabbed the staff and got ready to fight.

Sour: I bet I can kill more than you

Donin: You wish.

Donin started slicing one of the beasts....obviously it can take a hit because it shouldve after Donin sliced the beast and it SHOULDVE sliced into an X.

Sour was having trouble too. The beasts are very agile and since they are pretty small, they can dodge quickly. Sour knew their was something wrong.

Sour knocked one of the beasts up into the air. He used the staff to pole jump and kicked the beast to the floor. He then grabbed his staff and jabbed through the beasts head. Blood splattered all over his robe.

Sour: damnet, where can we find a river, I dont want to smell like blood throughout the whole fight.

Sour forgot about the other beast behind him.

Donin: LOOK OUT!

Donin sprinted and knocked the beast with a frenzy of sword attacks. Sour then felt a jolt of pain. He saw a tooth jolted into his arm.

Sour: It got me........

Sour then fell to the ground and fainted. As Donin tried to help him a group of even more ferocious beasts crept from all different sides of the mountain.

Donin: Damnet, what do I do?

[Dobs]

[Samus]
{SSS HQ}

Samus had been extremely antisocial for the seven years since the ritual. She mainly stayed in her ship parked conveniently under the Niluck shield, but far enough away from HQ that no one would bother her. She spent the majority of her time modifying her ship.

She upgraded its weapon systems so that using the Command Visor, Samus could direct the ship through a bomb run using its auto-pilot even if she wasn't aboard. She also created a modified version of her Grapple Beam on a larger scale so that the ship could be used to lift large objects.

However, her main goal was much more extensive. Since the day of the disappearances, Samus had been working to locate the missing brawlers and forumers. She longed to find Snicket, Veronica, Game and Watch, Snake, Kin, Geo, Smashbro, and of course Dobs. She studied the technology of her Scan Visor (much like she did with the grapple beam) and modified it to create a model compatible with her ship's technology. The bounty hunter was trying to create an inter-dimensional scanner which could pinpoint the location of any SSS member. However, after years of ceaseless engineering, she had had no luck in finding Dobs or anyone else for that matter.

Samus slowly began to give up hope that her comrades were even alive. Until one day...

"Missing SSS member detected!" The voice of the Ship's computer spoke over a loudspeaker. "Subject verified, Peram has entered HQ. Subject is currently counting to two thousand."

Samus jumped up, startled that her invention was actually working, "Why would he count to only 2000? Such a low number, he should have went with nine"

Samus walked to the front of HQ to greet the newly returned SSS member, however when she arrived, she couldn't seem to find peram.

"Peram!?"

Samus waited a few moments, if no one responded, she would have been convinced that her device was an utter failure...

[Dobs]
{Tartarus}

Dobs was in a deep meditative state when he picked up the silver energy signatures of Kin.

"There you are..." Dobs opened his glowing green eyes and stood up. He crouched a bit and charged his green aura and then jumped high into the air and began to fly. (like neo inthe matrix). He was a green blur flying through the blackness.

After several minutes of flight, the dark atmosphere around him began to lighten up. The terrain of a red desert slowly formed around him until finally, he felt as if he were on the surface of Mars. He saw a small black speck on the horizon...Kin.

He landed a few feet away from his comrade and a puff of red smoke from the sand he had landed in rose around him.

"Kin!" Dobs shouted in joy.

However, instead of embracing his friend, Kin simply walked past him and muttered under his breathe, "I don't talk to mirages..."

"Oh tittybiscuits..."

[peram]

Through the music he was listening to, he heard a familiar voice calling his name. "I'm over here!" he called out.
He gathered his Ipod cables/headphones and stuffed them into his pocket. It's been a long time since he's heard the voice of another person, and he's longed to for a while. He would have come back sooner, but he needed to meditate to keep his powers strong and gain new ones. He turned his head and saw who was calling his name.

"Hey Samus, long time no see," Peram said, "How have you been?"

[IOwnedYou]

[ Field of battle ]

"Alright... Time for my old favorite thing to do", he ran straight into the field of battle and took his giant blade and swung it at 5 enemies. All of them eliminated. Crehavos should have higher commanders around here somewhere. He isn't stupid though... He wouldn't just leave out in the open would he? Hmmmm... Zenkai kept running through the hordes of minor minions, but then he noticed something in the distance. "HQ?" he kicked off an enemy's head and out of the field then ran to the HQ. From the distance he could already tell there were two people there. "Samus and... who the hell is that?" he didn't remember Peram because he got lost a while ago. He started to run faster to the HQ. He stopped right at the entrance. "Fun times went on in here"

[Naked Snake II]

Geo woke up after his massive feast. It was still dark, there was a purple moon lighting up the sky



He got up and saw the fire he made died down a long time ago.. All was left was the smoke, dancing above the ashes, and the uneaten parts of the worm. He took Spathi and began to walk again the origional direction hoping to find Kin and Dobs..It seemed hopeless. The day went on as the bright red sun began to peek out from the horizon glaring in Geo's eyes.

GEO: I wonder how everyone is doing.....

Some reason, the rising sun made Geo remember his childhood. Him and Kin in their youth going to Snowpoint Mountain, Training with Kin.

A tear began to roll down his eye.

GEO: Those were the days...Everyone was close, not alone, and most importantly...happy.

Suddenly an explosion was heard from a far.

GEO: Something's there..Could it be Kin?

Geo transformed into his Devensian state and took off in the air. Quickly, he looked down and saw a massive BRAWL! Seemed like all "hell" broke loose. He transformed into his origional state and descended down towards the bickering. There were Minotaurs, massive powerful minotaurs fighting smaller humanoids.

GEO: What's going on here?

MINOTAUR: THERE'S ONE!!! GET HIMM!!!!

All the minotaurs drew attention to Geo and began running towards him like a massive bull stampede. Geo drew out Spathi and prepared for the impact.

Geo ducked quickly and kept turning around having his sword out. All the minotaurs began to fall and there legs were sliced off. He closed his eyes calmly. The scream of the minotaurs filling the area. Geo quickly opened his eyes. They were red like in his Devensian form...Then this happened to the Minotaurs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mG_P0b0XZ4&feature=related

Once the attack was over, he turned his attention to the small humanoids. They seemed to be only a handful...Geo scouted out their energy levels...nothing...then he went to scan their vitals.....The small humanoids were dead.

GEO: That's odd...There seems to be no sign of a struggle or any blood..

He walked towards the closed body.. they were all covered in a raggy clothing that would cover their whole body. He grabbed the body. It felt frail and weak. As he picked it up, the arm snapped of and the body and shriveled up.

GEO: ...Dehydration.

[ManOfSteele]

[Rashi]
[7 Year Summary]

While many people found a way to escape and evade Crehavos' wrath, Rashi wasn't so lucky. After a year of hiding in the ancient training grounds. Rashi's supplies got low. One day she ventured out to find fresh food and water and was captured at a battle outside the forest. For the next 6 years she was held in a prision camp. However, see had been watching, training, learning. She was ready to make her strike

[Present Day]

Rashi was in line at the mess hall to get lunch, they were serving the usual meal: Gruel. "Next in line, move it!" shouted the kitchen worker. Rashi moved up to the worker. He plopped a spoonful of shlop onto her plate and she moved away. She flicked her blue hair out of her eyes and moved to a table.

"You've got 6 minutes left! You better eat!" shouted a demon guard.

Now's my time to strike thought Rashi. Their security detail is lowest during lunch, and the regular armory guards get replaced by lower ranked grunts. "Ahhh..." Rashi said softly placing her hand over her forehead. She fell back out of her seat and onto the floor.

"Hey, GET UP!" shouted a guard.

"She can't she fainted" shouted another one the two of them walked over to Rashi.

While on the ground, Rashi's deep blue hair grew out long and turned a shade of forest green. Her clothes shifted as she entered her prediction form. "What the h---" The guard was cut off as Rashi jumped up and kicked him in the stomach. Rashi landed and spun around. The other guard drew a sword and was about to slash her.

"HA!!" Rashi shouted. Suddently all movement seemed to be stopped to her. Her vision turned to black and white. She took a deep breath in. All green colors returned to her vision. Slowly the sword began to come down upon her. Slowly, she began to sidestep, and brought up her knee. She breathed out. In a flash of green light all color was restored to her vision. The guards sword clashed against the ground. He tried to block, but Rashi's knee met his head first, bashing him unconcious. She lept up and rushed out the door.

[Naked Snake II]

Geo looked at the other shriveled bodies..All from dehydration. He figured at least they must have something of value. He scouted carefully all over the ground. After a long search, he found a few items. First, he took a container from the cargo wagon. Basic small container to fill up on water...if he ever found it. Another thing he took was a rag so the next time he sleeps, it'd be more comfy. And last, he took one of their scrolls..Maybe with it, he can find out who they were and where they came from.

[ManOfSteele]

[Steele]
[Outside of SSS HQ]

Steele warped about a mile outside from the SSS HQ. He was about half a mile from the border created by the Niluck Stone. He jumped up to a nearby tree and viewed the building. The border still protected the infinatley tall building, even at it's height. "Drat" Steele said quietly. "Considering how he is with Jukan, and Jukan should be in there, all I need to do is to find a way to get in there..... Or to have him come out here....."

He jumped down and walked towards the edge of the barrier. Along the way he picked up two small rocks. Once he reached the barrier, he threw one of the rocks through. The rock slid through the magic wall as though there was nothing there. The next one, Steele pumped some of his own energy into it, and threw it at the barrier. The rock hit the barrier like it was a brick wall. The rock slid to the ground. "Hmmm...." It acts like a wall, meaning.....

Steele extended his hand and attempted to break through the barrier. Slowly his hand met the barrier, and was stopped. It didn't feel like anything he had ever felt before. It gave off no heat, no feel, no texture. But it stood firm. "Well than 'll just have to wait for you..." said Steele to himself. Meta Knight

[smashbro]

[Dojo, 7 years ago]
{smashbro, Sakurai}

smashbro ran through the portal to the Dojo, intent on finding Sakurai. As smashbro exited the portal he ran right into Sakurai.
"CHAA!!!! What cape man doing?" Sakurai asked.
"You better go, you could be in trouble!" smashbro yelled, and pushed him towards the portal. But just then, a piece of the ceiling fell down, about to fall right on top of the portal. Sakurai dove out of the way, and so did smashbro. Chreavos' minions could be heard outside.
"Sakurai, quick, we need to get out of here!" smashbro urged.
"NO!!!! We fight!!!!" Sakurai pulled out a Wii remote.
"But before we do, how did the Hands come to be in smashbros?" smashbro asked frantically, as he heard doors of the dojo being burst down.
"He said he want to be in, and I say yes," Sakurai began to run towards the door.
"You don't know anything else about him?"
"His brother came later on own and demanded to be in too. He was mad at his brother though," Sakurai replied. And yelling out a war cry, ran outside the Dojo.
"No!" smashbro yelled, and followed. The building was surrounded by Chreavos' minions. Sakurai was fighting valiently, but he was way too outnumbered. smashbro was about to go and help, but he was surrounded by minions himself.

One of them threw a collar like thing at smashbro, which latched around his left arm, right above the smash symbol. He cried out in pain as it latched onto his skin.
"We will track you. We will find you. You will bring he** wherever you go," said the minions in chourus. Then, the same one who had thrown that threw another ball, which exploded and began to pull everyone towards a black sphere now in the air. smashbro tried to run but it seemed futile. after a few seconds it began to dim, and eventually smashbro was pulled into it. Then the sphere dissappeared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[gates of he**, 7 years ago]
{smashbro}

smashbro had been pulled into a dank tunnel, and was right between two open gates. He quickly realized it was an entrance to hell, and looked both ways. He was surrounded by demons again. But now it was time for smashbro to make a decision. If he founght his way to the depths of he**, he would be faced with more villans but also he would be able to find his friends who were killed or trapped there. But then again, he could get more help from the SSS by leaving, and he would be able to say goodbye to his friends one last time. Since he was at the Dojo, even a few minutes ago, it seemed like days, smashbro thought about who his real friends were. And he realized he only had 2 really good friends he could trust back home. There was no one he liked, just his "aquaintences" whom he did not enjoy being with, but for some reason could not leave them completely behind. As the demons closed in, smashbro stood his ground and attacked both ways indecisively.

Then he began to cry as he fought, emotionally torn in two.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[forest, 7 years ago]
{smashbro}

smashbro woke up, and looked around he was lying alone in a forest, and hoped that everything that had happened was a dream. But he looked at his arm, and sure enough there was the tracking device. Only the gates of he** was a dream.
"I better get to the HQ quick," smashbro said, as he was not sure where the gate was. "Or maybe I should say good bye to my..." he whispered, but then realized something.
"The bracelet. They said I would bring he** wherever I went. I can't go back to either place now. It might bring them harm. I have to live in isolation. I'll never have friends again unless I get this off." smashbro tried, but could not.

"I am alone."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[cave, now]
{X}

X was running away from demons, and found himself remembering the tree incident, a few years ago. He was reminded on his self hatred.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[tree, a few years ago]
{X}

X was lying hidden in a tree, as he heard demons approach. as they walked below him, seemingly unaware of his presence, he shot down red energy into the mass of them. He realized that there must be over a hundred, and could have planned better. But as he looked around from his hiding place, he saw he was actualy surrounded. They had known.
"f***," he cursed under his breath. But their numbers were growing thinner as he attacked, and he realized he wasn't alone.

When it seemed all the demons were gone, he looked to see three members of the SSS. Ike, Lucario, and Jax.
"Who are you?" Ike asked. He held out his hand. X looked at it, but did not shake.
"X." Silence for a second. Lucario had his eyes closed.
"What the h*** are you doing?" X spat out.
"I cannot read you, you have no aura," Lucario said.
"Are you dead?" Ike asked. X turned toward him.
"WTF? And who are you?" he asked Jax.
