We are the Deltas

by ArtisticallyArisen

When five protagonists are introduced to sburb, their world is turned upside down and is bombarded by meteors. When the fate of two universes hang in the balance, our heroes have to rip through said game to save them. But there are darker forces lurking in the shadows. There will be bloodshed and war... ...And only one side will see the light of victory (might be continued)

Homestuck; The Delta Version

A young girl stands in her room, and it just so happens that at this moment ('this moment' being 10:06 AM) on the 30th of April, it is her thirteenth birthday. What shall her name be?

'Insufferable vomit-inducing emo it is-'you hear a slight whirring noise and you are suddenly interrupted by a retractable staff which shattering your train of thought; this girl doesn't seem to tolerate a good joke, and her seemingly cold, poker-face confirms that…Her rainbow tinted aviators make it really hard to read her expression, okay?! Let's try that again… Imena Cayden? Okay; Imena Cayden it is.

As mentioned before, your name is Imena Cayden, Imi, Mena, or Mimi for short, and it is your birthday. Copious amounts of art and sheets of paper is strewn about your room, bringing us to your variety of interests. You LOOOVE cats and you have an undying passion for art, and you dream of becoming a professional digital artist or animator one day. Alongside that, you love music and you play quite a few instruments, your three favourites being the violin, the piano and the ukulele. You try remixing some tunes and making fly beats, but you are god-awful at it. You have a fondness for fan fiction and you tend to write your own stories every now and again and you absolutely LOVE anime and shipping. You dual wield two completely different personas constantly to confuse people; one persona being a crazy, hyper-active shipper, and the other, the persona you use most of the time, is the quiet, artistic coolkid who doesn't seem to want to talk to anyone. But every now and again, you let slip the cold, lazy typing that you possess, and you let fly your somewhat insane :3 –(7yp1ng qu1rk 7ha7 y0u were c0ndmned w17h and shall f0rever 6e s7uck w17h)

(POV Switch)

What do I feel like doing right now- wait. Someone's pestering me… It looks like it's her again. I like this chick; she seems pretty chill. Somewhat of a spazz, but cool nonetheless.

- artisticallyArisen left conversation at 10:27-

CG: told you :3

AA: damn ¦( i cant really back out now. im pretty sure the beta's already on the floor by the huge pile of mail that me and my bro always fail to read.

CG: Go check!

AA: k brb

Oh god my back… I've lost all the feeling in it. Unfortunately, I've got a mission to complete opening my bedroom door and peek out into the hallway; you never know when my bro will show up. He's pretty easy to spot, but when he sees you, it's the end of you. You will see him coming, and you will die. I dashed through the hall, and I stood behind the wall closest to the door and peered around it to see if I could spot the mountainous pile of mail we (we being my bro and I) never check. On top of the pile of mail; lo and behold; I spot the beta. YAAASSSS- oh crap. I felt a hand on my shoulder; and my eyes went wide with fear. The apocalypse is upon us. I spun round to meet my adversary: a lean, tall, smirking, dark-haired (idiot) figure stood before me clad in a grey hoodie and black jeans ripped at the knees. Ah crap. Well, luck can only get you so far before you're are spotted by your brother who just so happens to dual wield two katanas.

"Sup"

"I hate you." I spit grabbing my retractable staff (thank you dad, I love you, etc…) from my strife deck, and brought it to full form.

"Let's see how good you've gotten since our last round" He says, that stupid smirk still on his face. Curse you, Issac…

"No, really, you absolutely have no idea HOW much I freaking hate you right now bro." I growl back, hoping that the message gets across. I could tell it didn't because my bro lowered himself into a fighting stance, readying himself and now in waiting to spring.

Glaring at my opponent, I feel the tension building up, slowly but surely making its way to its breaking point; and I lower myself into a defensive stance while a countdown somewhere in the back of my mind dwindles in the single digits as I tense the muscles in my legs as I wait to spring. The empty, silence hangs in and suffocates the air, making it impossible to breathe. Narrowing my eyes, I try to control my breathing and get my heart beats and pulse into a steady rhythm. Closing my eyes, I let out a breath, and they snap open, and I sprint forward my brother following suit and leapt into the air. Slowing to a stop, I wait for when my brother would come down and strike from above, I tighten my grip on my staff, and count down the seconds; 3…2…1 and I swiftly duck down into a low stance hands on either side of my staff, as my brothers katanas clashed against the metallic cylinder. Metal clashed with metal and I used the momentum of my brother's aerial assault and pushed him off of me and scrambled to a standing position, and circled my brother, glaring more daggers at him.

Feeling something wet trickle into my eye, I reached up and touched my forehead and pulled my hand away to find crimson staining my fingertips. Slowly, I looked over to my brother and a scowled at him, hoping and praying that he would leave me alone. He didn't, of course, and did that cliché motion to 'come and fight me' with his hand, much like you'd see a martial do to challenge his foe. My scowl deepens:

I get the terrible feeling that this is going to be a long day; and that this is only the beginning

Hey guys! ArtisticallyArisen here! Do you think I should continue with this? If so, comment if I should/shouldn't and R&R

Disclaimer:

I don't own Homestuck: Andrew does. If I did, then Dirkjake would set sail once more, and Terezi and Nepeta would be matesprits (no offense to any hardcore shippers out there!)

Bye guys! ~artisticallyArisen
