Claimer: On the flip side, I am the owner of Luster the Cat, Megan the Wolf, Jack the Cat, Entity, Quill and that one villain in Power of Unknown, and all the original Eggman robots that appeared in Season 1. Contact me if you want to use any of these characters or ideas in your work.
Well...where to begin? I should really start from the top.
Hello there, my name is Luster. Luster the Cat. I'm a seven year old, light blue Mobian cat born on the planet Mobius. I was created inside a small, rickety wooden home just outside a forest, facing the bright blue ocean. My mother, Megan, was the greatest mum you could ever have. She always made food for me and my father - three meals a day, and the occassional snack. She had strong beliefs, and always wanted me to have a great life, even risking her own to protect me.
My father was just the same. He never cooked, though he always used to take me out to the forest to collect food along the lines of: berries, mushrooms, berries, and more berries. Man I love berries. It had to be because berries were so common and so easy to grow, is why we almost always had them. Good taste, I gotta say. Anyway, Jack taught and trained me, teaching me how to effectively move across forests by swinging on the vines. I wasn't fast, and I wasn't strong, though I was pretty good at dodging. I still am, huh?
It was because of those two that I still exist. Whenever I was sad, they were there for me. Whenever I was happy, they were there for me. Whenever I was...okay, you probably got the picture by now. The fact of the matter is, that they cared for me like parents should. If your parents weren't/aren't like that, then there's some issues on how they're raisin' ya'.
Nothing lasts forever, however. Good things last even shorter.
If they were so good to me, why did they have to go? Why? Please tell me...someone, please...there has to be an answer. Parents don't just go like that. They stay, forever. They don't die. They shouldn't die. WHY DID THEY DIE?
*sob*
S-sorry...didn't mean to burst like that...it's just, it's just a horrible experience. One that shouldn't have to happen...but it did, for no reason AT ALL. It not only begs the question of why, it SCREAMS it.
I was so depressed when those bullets pierced the furred bodies of my mummy and daddy, blood spurting out the back and loitering the ground. It was a nightmare...a real, living, live nightmare that I couldn't escape from. Just the memory of that time is a constant pain at the back of my mind, torturing my very self day by day.
Though, in my time of need, while one of Eggman's (or Robotnik (I didn't know who he was back then)) robots was ready to end me, my two lights in the darkness arrived. A blue blur tore right through the killer machine, revealing himself to be Sonic the Hedgehog, the best guy you'll ever meet. He and his two-tailed fox friend, called Tails, took me to their home, where I was looked after with the greatest of security. Sonic and Tails would then begin to protect me through many tiring and dangerous battles without death.
Nobody died, and everybody lived. Er, save for some people during the Chaos incident. Yeah, some of them died, but most of the citizens lived, which is good.
I'm the kind of person that sits in the back, letting the heroes do all the work and chipping in from time to time. I love helping my friends on anything, no matter what it was. Recently, that made my downfall.
You see...
Fallen Hero
I can use this...Eggman wouldn't want to destroy his own thing, right? the cyan cat wondered, sprinting over to the sliced-in-unequal-proportions machine and jumping ontop of it, waiting for the doctor to attack.
"DIE! YOU WILL DIE!" Eggman yelled, forgetting about everything and focusing on just the little target below. With one fell downwards stab, Luster was killed.
Oh, sorry. The Chaos Emerald Storage Machine was annihilated, not Luster. He was fine, just standing right next to the wreckage of the machine, mocking the once glorious mechanic.
This was it. The Egg Ender was over. Done for; nada. Silence filled the room, as an explosion followed the desruction of the machine. Egg Ender spontanteously combusted, turning into nothing but ash and scrap pieces of burnt metal. Eggman and the Egg Mobile however, were okay, as revealed when the doctor climbed out of the wreckage of the once devilish robot.
Suddenly, before anyone could say anything - before any comments or shouts were made - a bright white light emerged from the machine.
"YOU FOOL! DO YOU NOT REALISE WHAT YOU'VE DONE BY DESTROYING THAT?!" Eggman shouted, knowing full well what this light was.
"No? But what does it matter? I beat you!" Luster celebrated, jumping in joy.
"NO, YOU DOLT! Well that is true and all but YOU'VE CAUSED CHAOS CONTROL!" Eggman replied, dusting off the ash from his trusty hovering creation.
Dooming Chaos
Yeah. I made Eggman attack his own machine, which then caused Chaos Control - a pure blinding light that teleports ya somewhere. With all seven Chaos Emeralds in that machine, the control was so powerful, it could send you to an alternate dimension.
Which it did. I got hit by the wide, white light range of the Chaos Control, and now I'm currently teleporting to some unknown world. Could be Mobius, but...feels different. Doesn't feel like I'm teleporting to Mobius. I'm probably goin' to some weird, backwards universe with flying cars and stuff, who knows?
If I were to gather the seven emeralds and cause my own Chaos Control, I can be sent back, right? So yeah, there's my plan for when I land in this dimension. Just hope I can get back safely...I don't wanna end up dying. I wanna return to my friends.
And I will. Mark my words, alternate universe! I will-
*THUMP*
Arrival
Night time was erect in the barren wasteland belonging to the strange new world. A turquoise animal lay on the ground, sticking out like a sore thumb among the planet. Several dinosaurs were focusing on the strange sight; as they had never seen a Mobian before. Sure, they had witnessed super-powered human lookalikes and a tall green man at several points in time, and other anthropomorphic animals, but never someone like this. They didn't know what to call it, or what to name it by.
Soon, their attention was shifted towards the abnormal gaze of eight brightly coloured gems with respectively coloured auras shooting up into the air from nearby the body, and blasting into several corners of the planet. This confused the primitive animals, as they knew of only seven ancient spheres of great power. What sort of relation could these gems and spheres have? Was it something to do with this stranger?
In the background, while the dinosaurs continued to stare and roar at the body in confusion, two people slowly descended onto a nearby mountain, having seen the sight of the gems from far away. The seemingly younger one wore an orange gi, with a dark coloured belt of sorts holding the piece of clothing together. He also had umkempt, pointy hair that resembled his father's. The much older person wore the same kind of gi, albeit with a slightly darker shade and similar shaded belt. He had a light peach complexion and was also rather muscular, wielding tidier, yet also slightly pointy hair.
"Goten, do you see what that is?" the taller person asked, pointing towards the peculiar body.
"No, big brother, where?" the smaller person, know known as Goten, wondered, desperately looking over the area.
"You see where the dinosaurs are? Near there, you'll see some kinda light blue animal. What is it?" Gohan instructed, lowering his arm.
It appears these two are brothers, outside only because of this.
"Oh! That! Heh, it does kinda look weird. I wanna get closer to it!" Goten asserted, forming some kind of energy aura around him and blasting towards the fallen body, breaking the rules of gravity along the way.
"Goten...can't ya sit down for at least a minute?" Gohan sighed, following his youger sibling.
The two gravity-defiers landed in front of the cyan body, taking in the strangeness and out-of-this-world look the body had. It was like nothing they had ever seen before.
And they've been to different planets. Well, Gohan has, anyway.
"I wonder what kind of animal it is! Looks kinda like a cat," Goten pointed out, inspecting the body.
"Probably is. We'll bring it back to the house and have it rest until it can walk again," Gohan agreed, planning. "Mum probably won't like it. She won't understand."
"We can't just leave him out in the open like this! He could be really hurt...and I don't want my first pet being hurt!" Goten stated.
Said animal was unconscious, so it couldn't hear a word of what was being chucked around verbally. But, if it were to be awake to hear Goten call it a pet, it probably wouldn't be too happy.
"Exactly. I'll take him, you follow me," Gohan nodded, picking up the creature. "Don't go too slow, okay? You might lose track of me. Then again, you can always sense where I am. Come on, let's go."
The two boys began to leave the scene, body of a fallen cyan furred Mobian in their hands with no true idea on what he really is. Only speculation ran through their minds, as they returned to their home.
Sudden Hospitality
It looks like Luster has appeared in some kind of alternate universe that isn't Earth or Mobius! Who are Gohan and Goten? Where are the Chaos Emeralds? Find out next time on...Luster the Cat!
Come slide down rainbows in the sky, let's fly away!
Like a bird, you're free to see the boundless face of the Earth!
Let the wind blow you like a kite,
and glide away!
Far beyond the clouds,
You'll find another place!
If the road ahead seems so cold and gray,
When night never turns to day,
Don't you be afraid, go fly away!
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
No time to hesitate,
Go on and search the Earth!
Within it lies a magic surprise!
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
Be cool, don't be afraid, you've got power
To get you through the darkest night!
Sparking!
Zooming round and round
The endless sky like a coaster!
Hold on tight, or you may find yourself trapped in a maze!
When that happens,
You may think you won't ever find your way
As the paths that you may take
All seem the same!
If the road ahead seems so cold and gray,
When night never turns to day,
Don't you be afraid, go fly away!
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
No time to hesitate,
Go on and search the Earth!
Within it lies a magic surprise!
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
Be cool, don't be afraid, you've got power
To get you through the night!
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
No time to hesitate,
Go on and search the Earth!
Within it lies a magic surprise!
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
Be cool, don't be afraid, you've got power
To get you through the darkest night!
AH, HA, AH, HA! Cha-La!
Author Notes: Season 2 is here! Luster's slipped into the DBZverse thanks to the Chaos Control from Chapter 69 of Season 1. For the ending song, I didn't make it. It's an official translated version of Cha-La-Head-Cha-La, the original Japanese opening theme for Dragon Ball Z, and I'm borrowing it for Season 2's theme. Well, the DBZ part of it, anyway.
Imagine Sonic speeding along the countryside surrounding Station Square, as Tails and Luster begin to catch up. He grabs onto their hands, and rushes ahead Sonic Heroes intro style. Then, the camera pans over the skyline of Station Square, as Tails carries Luster and Sonic through the city in the X-Tornado, passing by Amy, Cream, Cheese and Chris whom are waving at the plane from the ground. Suddenly, Dr. Eggman with Decoe and Bocoe appears, shooting down some of the buildings, creating a large amount of smoke and rubble. Then, Sonic, Tails and Luster counter Eggman's forces with some bullets of their own. A shot of Ella, Tanaka, Mister Stewart and Sam Speed appears, with Knuckles punching right through the robot that's chasing them, posing to the camera. The seven Chaos Emeralds then shoot through the city, circling around the various buildings and reaching the battle site. The Master Emerald is then seen resting on it's altar in Angel Island, with spirits of Tikal, Chaos and some Chao just next to it. Shadow and Rouge arrive in the city battle, skillfully taking out numerous robots with Sonic giving his darker counterpart a thumbs-up. Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Amy and Tails are then seen taking on countless infantry, with Knuckles absorbing some of the Master Emerald's power to get stronger temporarily. The heroes use their most infamous techniques, while Sonic continues to fight Eggman with difficulties. The camera pans to Luster, who appears to be slightly older. He uses some kind of energy attack to remove Eggman from the city, and smiles because of it.
This intro ends with Sonic Spin Jumping into the middle of the group of characters, as Tails is next to him on his right; Luster is on his left; Amy is next to Luster; Tanaka and Ella are behind the previous two; Stewart and Sam are on Sonic's right, behind Tails; Shadow is next to Tails, arms folded and staring away; Rouge is facing towards the camera, while Topaz is right next to the bat, holding an assault rifle. Knuckles is also behind Sonic, trying to get his face into the picture. Sonic and Shadow then power up to their Super Forms, while Luster does the very same, revealing his own Super Form with his slightly older appearence from earlier. Ghost forms of Goku and Vegeta can be seen in the background.
Just read that long description as you listen to the English Cha-La-Head-Cha-La. Season 2 is gonna be a kicker!
