This story is formatted similar to Sycophant. The story is spilt up into 2 acts. Act 1 is the backstory, while act 2 is the aftermath. There is also going to be chapter synopses, quotes and author's notes. For this story, I'm also adding quotes and sneak previews of the next chapters. I hope to end this fanfiction on a high note. With that, lets get into the story.

"A lot of tragedy can befall us, but there's always something else; there's always hope." -Chris Pine

Chapter Synopsis: We meet a strange being in dimension D2-DH426, who regales us with a tale of tragedy

We see some sort of library with a galaxy-themed background. Suddenly, a disembodied voice speaks to us.

Oh, I didn't see you there. Well, welcome. I am DiscordantHarmony426. And this is my home dimension, The Dimension of Duality, or D2-DH426, for those of you who use OU designations. Why is it called that? Because, for this dimension to even exist, there must always be 2 opposing forces in balance. Protagonist vs Antagonist, Order vs Chaos, Matter vs Antimatter, you get the idea. Isaac Newton said it best in his third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is the Library, consisting of all of the tales I've regaled to you guys.

We see a shelf filled with 8 books, it pulls out the first one.

"Sycophant, the magnum opus of my collection. This sure brings back some memories…but you've heard this story before, so I won't bore you with the details."

It puts the dark blue book back in its place. It goes to the end of the collection and pulls out a light pink book. It has an elegant design of a heart on it, the left side is colored a darker shade of pink, while the right side is colored dark blue, the same shade of dark blue that the "Sycophant" book has.

"You know, I am both 50% male and 50% female, and yet, I'm also 50% gendered and 50% agendered, as well as being 50% gaseous form and 50% plasmatic form, strange, huh? Of course, I can change my appearance to whatever I want." It explains to us

It now turns its attention to the book.

"This book is the last one I have in my collection currently."

The Intro Story theme from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door begins to play…

"This story is about how one female's desire for the thing she covets most both redeems her and destroys her. The title of this tragic tale is "One Bad Seed", now let us begin."

It opens the book, we suddenly get thrust into the world of One Bad Seed. It looks like a Loud House story, because we're in Royal Woods, Michigan, but the style is comic book-like. Suddenly, police sirens deafen the night sky!

"Unit 444 is responding to a disturbance at 1432 Lacrimal Lane."

"Advised, unit 444, be on guard. A neighbor heard gunshots, suspect is presumed armed and dangerous, sending backup."

Unit 444 speeds on over to 1432 Lacrimal Lane. Other officers are already dispatched to the scene, having secured the area with police tape! Unit 444 gets out of his squad car and talks to the detective.

"What does it look like, detective?" Unit 444 asks

"Well, we have a triple homicide. The perpetrator killed everyone except the mother of the family. She's being consoled by her sisters and brother, as well as her in-laws."

Unit 444 goes over to the massive crowd of people. He eventually makes it to said person, still grieving over the loss of her family.

"Hey, I know this is hard for you, but can you come down to the station so we can ask you some questions?"

"Sure…" The woman says despondently

Unit 444 escorts her to the police station in their squad car. The woman enters the station and waits in the visitor's area. The interrogator calls her into the room. She enters the room and sits down.

"So, what happened?"

"I'll tell you everything, but I will start at the beginning…"

The scene transitions to a sunny day. We see a familiar building with the number "1216" on it. In the front yard are those twins…

Preview

"It all started when that new family moved in."

The screen pans over to show the Yates family.

Author's Note: Most of act 1 will be in a first person perspective, while act 2 will be from a third person perspective.
