Lord Joyde: Heylo, Everyone! How are you all doing?
I decided to make another crossover, this time with a little twist. ONE THING I MUST MENTION, THIS WILL BE A VERY VERY SHORT STORY. TEN CHAPTERS OR SO IS MAX. THIS INFORMATION IS MEANT FOR MY FUTURE SELF MAINLY.
... You see, I was thinking a bit about what would ever happen if Alex decided to play the bad guy for once? ... while also giving me the idea of showing Pariah and Leonardo right into the picture.
This piece of work is the result of that. That said, this is my story and considering that this is also a crossover of Prototype and Skullgirls... well you can imagine just how much comedy and regular Lord Joyde Bullshit will be involved. Yeah, that's me quoting one of my regular readers. We have a love-hate relationship. And yes, its my girlfriend that I'm talking about here Spartan.
Just to make something clear... I'm gonna call The Skullgirls planet Encore. Why? 'Cause fuck me but I couldn't find its proper name that's why. Girlfriend plz.
Anyway, enough of by rambling, lets get on with the story!
Don't mind me guys and girls! I'm just a line break...
Random point in time... - Random place in space... - Zeus's Point Of View...
After finishing the Terra formation of this random solar system, I jump to the next, only to be stunned as a multitude of life-forms enters my sense range.
It would seem that this System has sentient life upon it... and it seems somewhat advanced.
Hiding behind their sun and forming myself into a meditating position, I anchor a piece of my mind above the surface of the planet, just like I had previously done with all of the world containing any form of connection to me.
By sending forth a viral pulse in the form of a basic and very small solar flare, I consume random pieces of DNA from the worlds denizens as the flare seemingly burns away their flesh, shutting off many electronic devices in the process.
It would seem that the world is currently under control of two great countries. One is The So-called Canopy Kingdom and the other is the land of the Gigas... hmmm, a world that barely has the technology of 1940's post-war America... yet also manages to surpass even current levels of technology in some aspects.
Such as biological implants and robotics, but that can easily be attributed to this rare material known as Theonite. After all, its easy to make a cyborg if you possess a metal which is conveniently strong, tough and has the ability to lock a soul in place... I'm not entirely sure that it is metal however, because my scan revealed the fact that just about everything upon this world has it in extreme miniature amounts... while there is also things which are made almost entirely out of it.
"That said... this world sure is impressive.." I mumble to nobody in particular as I form myself yet another imaginary living room. You know, the usual setup of a round table, a set of chairs and some tea.
Anyhow, I scan the world for great destinies and well... there are so fucking many that my eyes were blinded a bit.
I hear the subconsciousness of time-mages of the Earth call out to me through our Mind Link. They tell me that the only time so many great destinies are available at the same time is when the world is facing its final evolutionary stage. Like when I was still human, like I later found out was happening on Halkeginia.. like it is currently happening on Terra... and what has already passed by on Euphoria.
The mages don't stop there. They explain to me how on every world, there are three types of factions, no matter what form of power they may possess. There is Order, Darkness and Chaos.
I blink, incapable of stopping myself from asking who exactly belonged where back on earth.
The Mind Link stops and I sense immeasurable mathematical and social calculations taking place. Within moments, my question is answered.
The representative's of Order were Pariah and his bunch... well, he was always overly spiritual so that isn't very surprising.
The Illuminati and the worlds governments represented The Darkness.
... And I represented Chaos itself.
Well, I suppose we all know how that ended up. I feel myself grinning as the mages scowl and Pariah laughter echoes throughout the link. He is the only being aside myself capable of freely interfacing with The Link. Within moments, my little brother acts as expected and appears next to me, quickly seating himself on a chair nearby.
"Yo brother, what are you doing?" He asks me and I simply point onto the world which I now know to be called Encore.
He scans it with his mind, quite possibly making a couple people go mad in the process, but hey, who cares."At least I don't burn people alive." He says with a smile on his face.. oh right, he can passively read minds.
"Yeah, I can. Maybe this time you might remember that." I dunno brother, I mean... I already did something like this at least fifty times.
He shrugs."Eh, your right. And who cares anyway." Yep.
He then turns back towards the world as he takes another sip of his own essence tea. Yep, he started doing that too, haha. He turns to me with another shit eating grin before saying."Anyways, that world is pretty interesting... although, I don't think you are just gonna watch, right? 'Cause... y'know, that's pretty boring."
I was about to say something in turn but the both of us turned our heads around as we felt another presence approach us at high speeds. Ah, it is Pariah's friend Leonardo.
His annoyed form pops into existence and he waves at us."Yo guys." He says simply and Pariah and I blink.
I turn to Leonardo."Umm... not that I'm not impressed by how casually you came here, by the was how in the world did you do that, but why are you here?"
He lets out another annoyed sigh."Long story short, I was on my way to Samathar in order to have another one of our... insane conversations."
Samathar? Oh, Pariahs new name.. right. The guy in question blinks."Let me guess, you had another annoying case to solve, right?
Leonardo nods."Yeah, that's exactly it. I don't want to talk about it so if you wanna know just think it. As for how I came here, well constantly being in your brothers presence increased my own minds powers tremendously." Ah, yes, that makes sense.
He takes in a breath."As for why I am here... well, you suddenly making another mind-scape and Samathar following you near instantaneously afterwards... I figured some kinda comedic bullshit is gonna happen soon that might be funny to watch. And believe me when I say that I currently need a very long laugh."
I shrug nonchalantly."Suppose that's as good of a reason as any, really."
He takes a seat and also makes himself a cup of tea. He blinks."Wow, never thought my own life-force tasted this good."
Samathar turns to me with an interested glance."Hey bro, I think I found someone interesting!"
All three of us turn our heads back towards the world in question. Samathar's consciousness shows us a very happy go unlucky white haired teenager with a supremely pale complexion. Oh my, a gamer? Yeah, this is gonna be fun... except..
He is currently stuck under a pillar, bleeding from all over his body.
I look at my companions and we all shrug in unison. Heh, might as well, I guess.
Don't mind me guys and girls! I'm just a line break...
Several minutes beforehand... - New Meridian Outskirts - Unknown's Point Of View...
"ARTHUR! RUN AWAY, QUICKLY!" I hear my mother scream at me as my body shakes out of my fear stupor and I daze out through the door with tears in my eyes.
"Hey you, go after the kid! The boss ain't tolerating any more failures!" One of the Medici thugs screams right as I hear several gunshots coming from the general direction of my home. My parents just died.
"Steel yourself, Arthur! You gotta be alive if you wanna be able to mourn them later!" I mentally scream at myself as I continue running across the night-covered streets when suddenly, a massive eruption blows said street apart as a bright blue light bursts in the skies.
I barely have the time to catch my breath as I see a huge pillar falling directly onto me."Well, so much about living to mourn my parents.."
I hear myself say as the pillar falls down and effectively traps me, a large pool of blood forming underneath. With my hazy vision, I look up to see that the thugs who were chasing me, along with my home, are crushed by the falling rubble created out of the earthquake.
"At least they got what they deserved...Ow, my sphincter." I cough in the real world as I laugh at the impossibility of the situation. I blink and then look even higher as I notice a small girl, barely twelve in age, lifting a whole damn building in the skies.
That must be the Skullgirl I've heard so much about on the news recently... her lifting that building is probably also what caused the earthquake.
Ugh, I can feel myself slipping. Damn those fucking Medici's... and fuck you too, Skullgirl. I hope you reanimate me so I can tell you that in the afterlife, ugh.
"Do you wish to live, boy?" I hear a deep, powerful voice ask me. Oh my! Is this really what I think this is?
I hear someone give a mental sigh."Okay look. You don't have much time so I will keep it short. I am a demon. My name is Zeus. Nice to meet you, Arthur."
Same here... Now please get to the point even if we both know I'm gonna say yes because I want to live.
He grunts."Fine, have it your way. Basically put, I'll give you the power you need to thrash the Skullgirl and annihilate the Medici's. After you do that, you will be my agent upon this world."
If I could've, I would have let out a sigh."Blah blah blah, how do I accept?"
I feel him grin mentally."Just touch that suspiciously glowing ball of orange light next to you."
Managing to refocus myself to the real world, I muster whatever strength I still possess and grab hold of said ball which was right next to me like Zeus said.
And with that, my vision fades.
Don't mind me guys and girls! I'm just a line break...
Seconds afterwards... Zeus's New space place - Arthur's Point Of View...
I open my eyes to see my body is complete and healed... but not on ground anymore.
In fact, I seem to be in the middle of space. Wow.
Blinking, I refocus myself and take a look around me. I see three strange but humanoid beings sitting upon an imaginary table drinking imaginary tea. There is a red colored being seemingly made of energy and two humanoids with chitin like armor next to him. The only difference being their colors as one is purple while the other is pure white.
The red one whom I just know is Zeus, forms another chair and a cup and motions for me to sit. I wordlessly comply. The white one nods approvingly."At least you have proper manners, it seems." I blink.
"Cheh, who gives a shit? Lets just get on with this already." The black one says and the white one turns around towards him with a face that clearly says; unlike you.
Zeus sighs."Anyways, you should drink up since you are going to be here for a bit while your body regenerates in the real world."
I blink."Your voice.. is different now?"
The black one laughs."He wanted to act like a demon when he contacted you, but us gamers are kinda above the usual bullshit that goes along such thing, am I right?"
I let out a laugh of my own before blinking again."Wait a minute.. us gamers?"
Zeus sighs and flicks his fingers, making the armor dissipate off the two beings and revealing two normal humans in their place. He then turns to the black one."Okay. Since you seem to think of Arthur as one of your types, how about you explain this to him, Leonardo?"
The one now named Leonardo, looks at me with a laughable stare."Ok. So long story short. This guy is gonna give you the power you need to exact your revenge and then you are going to help him in conquering this whole world, deal? Oh and, I guess you can call us aliens since even if all three of us are human we aren't from your world."
I shrug."Yeah sure. I guess that sounds like fun. Am I supposed to do things alongside a set of rules or?"
The white one sips some of his tea and then tells me."Well, I'm sure my brother wanted to be evil for a reason so I suppose you could act as if you were the typical demon-possessed hero or something? By the way, I'm Samathar."
"Okay. I could do that. And do you have a normal name or do I just call you Zeus?" I ask him and he waves a hand defensively.
"I think I like things as they are now." He answers honestly. Eh, I suppose that's fine.
I then blink again as a question pops up in my mind."Soooo like... do you have any directions for me?"
Zeus looks at me with a somewhat annoyed stare."The Skullgirl's base of operations appears to be inside of this... Church of the Trinity or something? But I would recommend just going around looking for trouble first, as even with the piece of my power that I gave you, you can't just immediately go after the final boss.
"Good enough. And going after the final boss immediately isn't very fun for our readers anyway." Said readers should be advised of the many many fourth wall breaking in the near future. Also prepare yourself for puns. I warned you.
"You are weird." Zeus states simply with a confused glance.
We all let out a laugh as Zeus practically kicks me out of the space-thing-place and I find myself reawakening in the real world.
"Welp, lets do this, I guess." I say to absolutely nobody as I find myself fully capable to shoving the concrete pillar off myself and stand up whilst dusting myself.
Don't mind me guys and girls! I'm just a line break...
Lord Joyde: And that is it for the first chapter of What The Hell? xD this story is gonna be so much fun to type. I hope I don't die of laughter.
In any case, I think its time to go watch some more Skullgirls videos. Also, our hero loves history. 'Cause there was a lot of war in their world. And us gamer love war history, yeah.
