The story that won't be spoken of in Firstborn. How Scarlet Vargas came to join Lord Gnaa. Here it goes! Also, first story told in first-person POV!

The Path of Scar

My name is Scarlet. Scarlet Vargas. My parents died when I was little, so I lived with my aunt, Victoria, and my cousin, Violet. She was as caring as a mother, but she worked two shifts, for her husband died. I always felt bad for her, but Violet never seemed to care. Especially after what happened. Violet was meant to take part in an experiment, which would result in a massive raise for my aunt. But Violet ran away, and shortly after that, Aunt Victoria disappeared. I was forced to live in an orphanage, and my life became worse.

When next I heard from Violet, she had apparently signed her soul away to a bunch of relentless demons! She used the catlike abilities she had gained from the experiment to aid in the freedom of the Demon King. In the end, the King betrayed her, which made me scoff at first, but I was angered when the KND allowed her to be with them, and fight the demons together! After Numbuh 1 and his friends killed Malladus, they let my cousin become an operative! I heard she recently went on some oceanic adventure with her new friends. I can only hope she got major seasickness.

I hate her so much. And I hate the Kids Next Door for forgiving her so easily. Violet didn't bother to even look for me. I desperately wished for revenge. Fortunately, my wish was granted just recently when I spotted a group of robotic soldiers in the junkyard and decided to follow them. I was then led to this strange parallel dimension and to a dark, nightmarish mountain, where I made my way through this fortress.

After getting through to the center of the fortress, I was met with the nastiest bunch of villains, as well as their Master. He called himself Negatar Gnaa. And his aura was brimming with pure malice and evil.

Gnaa and his minions gave me deadly looks, and I expected trouble. They demanded to know my business there, so I told them. I told them my story, my hatred for both Violet and the KND. After my tale was finished, the Dark Master smiled and accepted me.

Right now, I was following some turtle-like soldiers; called Koopas, down the hallway of a high-tech base. I stopped in the chamber of some sort of machine, and there were Gnaa's allies: Bowser, the Koopa King; Eggman, the mad scientist; Ganondorf, the Dark Lord; and Darth Genious, the Sith Lord. Also known as 'The Brain.' As well as the Dark Master himself, via hologram. I stood in the center of that room, awaiting for what's to come.

Eggman chuckled. "Now then… Scarlet Vargas: it is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Team Gnaa! Now, if you would be so kind as to step into the right pod… we can begin the initiation." I looked at the machine. There were two pods. In the left pod was a black cat. Was this what they used on Violet?

I took a deep breath and stepped into the right pod. Eggman then pushed a button and closed the pods. "Now… all we need to do is insert this Chaos Emerald…" I watched as he placed a big, glowing red gem into a slot, closing it. He must use those gems as power sources a lot. "Push a few buttons and…AHA!" Once he was finished, the scientist pulled a lever and the machine activated. In the second pod, the black cat turned into a puff of pink smoke and went through a pipe connecting to mine. When the smoke reached and spread through my pod, I screamed as I felt the transformation overcoming me.

Finally, the transformation was done and Eggman opened the pods. I stepped out of the smoke to study my new form: I now had a black cat tail and black cat ears. I then felt more pain in my fingers as my nails extended to become long claws. I felt the same sensation in my toes and looked down to see my toenails stretched through my boots.

"Heh heh heh!" Eggman chuckled, a devious smirk on his face. "ATTACK!" At that instant, he pushed a button and a door opened, releasing a squadron of robots that began shooting blasters at me. I quickly used my new reflexes and dashed over the walls, reaching the robots, and sliced them all in half with my claws. Bowser then stomped the ground and several Koopa soldiers spun around and shot towards me. I counterattacked by sticking my claws into their shells and throwing them back to knock the others out. Ganondorf made a gesture and his demonic henchmen drew out bows and began shooting arrows at me. I immediately took out my new huge cat shurikens and tossed them over, slicing the demons and exploding them.

The Brain's dome glowed, and several white armored soldiers, known as Stormtroopers, began shooting blasters. I defended with my claws, then leaped over to stab them through their armor. I always heard their armor was never that strong. Once I finished, I retracted my claws back in, and Eggman walked over and put a hand on my shoulder. "He he he! What'd I tell you, Gnaa? My creations never cease to amaze! And this little catgirl will be our most imposing threat, yet!"

"Eh, I don't trust her." I frowned at Ganondorf's statement. "How do we know this won't end up the same way as Violet with Malladus?"

"Malladus was a fool. He could not sense the evil in others like I can!" Lord Gnaa said. "And I sense the true hatred in this girl's heart."

"Your powers guarantee nothing, Lord Gnaa!" Ganon said hatefully. "The only way to truly have someone follow you is by force!" I then gave a horrified look as Ganon approached me. He bent down, and lightly put his hand over my face, his fingers gripping the edges of my face as he transferred some dark energy. When he released, I looked down as a small, purple flame appeared by my chest. "You are officially recruited as my lifelong servant. And by extension, you serve Negatar Gnaa." Ganon seemed to clench his teeth at the statement. "The Dark Flame is a symbol of your contract… and is connected with your heart. For now, it'll remain hidden. But at the first sign of betrayal… it will shrink." I watched the flame disappear, but still felt its heat. "When it is gone… your life is finished. Understand, Scar?"

I nodded. "Yes."

"Good… Now, help us clean this mess up and order us some pizzas."

"OOOH! I'll take the one with anchovies!" Negatar Gnaa exclaimed.

Well, there you have it. My name is Scarlet Vargas. Little girl on the Dark Side and loyal servant to Negatar Gnaa. Or should I say Ganondorf. And if I so much as think to betray them, then death will be my savior. I wouldn't have it any other way. And now that I'm here, I wouldn't rest until these new claws were rammed through Violet's chest… and riddled with her blood.
