Chapter 1

It's a dark knight in Rome, and a severe storm is raging overhead. Lightening is striking all around and the rain makes it difficult if not impossible to see, yet high overhead in the middle of it all is a large blue figure flying very fast towards the city limits.

"How could he have done this...how in Umbra's name could he have done this?!"

The strange being had now left Rome and was headed at a high speed towards a large mountain, barely visible in the heavy storm.

"He tricked us, all of us! Our entire race! And he had the gall to force EVERYONE to forget it ALL!"

As he approached the mountain at near supersonic speeds, he begins to see the faint outlines of ancient ruins.

"There it is, I have to tell him, before He finds out what I've learned. I've got to get to get to Putridum, almost… there… just a little!"

KRA…..BOOOOOM!

The blue figure had just been struck by massive lightning bolt, and the glowing light went out. The being could faintly be seen hurtling towards the mountain until he struck it painfully hard causing a large earthquake and leaving a burning hole in the mountain that seemed to go on forever. Not more than three minutes after the hole was made, it was swallowed up, as if it were a monstrous mouth clamping down on its next meal. The figure was burning through the earth and straight down to Underworld and as soon as he broke through he appeared to every creature to be a meteor of pure hellfire. He luckily missed the various towers, spires, and buildings and then plummeted down hitting the road and putting out the flame. He bounced across the road about twelve times until he skidded to a stop at the door of a large and ornate building, the capital building of The Underworld.

3rd person POV

Kibosh sat in his desk, busy with the daily mountain of paperwork and completely bored out of his ectoplasmic mind.

"Oh by Flash what I would give to just leave and go scare some fleshie's right now"

About three files later, his secretary Scab came in.

Scab was a rather tall, gangly zombie with green skin and he was missing one eye. The one eye he did have looked large due to him having no eyelids and it was rather bloodshot with yellow irises. He wore a purple suit with green accents and a bright red tie, similar to The Joker from those Batman comics fleshies often read. But by far the most noticeable thing about him was that the top and back of his head was missing and where a brain should be was instead a large, jagged white gemstone with a black mist swirling inside. He made the perfect replacement for that betraying leprechaun.

"Sir?"

"What do you want!?" he roared out. He had been doing files nonstop for the past five hours and only managed to finish about a fourth of them, obviously he was in a very bad mood.

"We found this young creature on the doorstep to the building, we didn't know what to do with him so we have brought him to you."

"A creature you say? Well what's his name?"

"That's another problem sir, we don't know…"

"Did you think to ask him?!"

"Yes sir I did, he doesn't know it himself. He seems to be suffering from a severe case of amnesia, he doesn't know who or what he is."

"What he is?"

"Yes sir, you see he's…. well it may be best to just show you."

As he said this he waved his skeletal hand to some gargoyles. They then turned and opened the door and led in a rather strange looking creature, and by strange I mean at first glance he didn't look like a creature at all!

He looked like a tall young fleshie at around six feet, two inches and somewhere between eighteen or twenty years old. He had black hair with strips of blue hair here and there, and his eyes were hazel. He wore a rather torn up pair of blue jeans and a black shirt with the words Brutal Legend stylized on the front in white, and over it all he wore a large black trench coat with blue accents on it.

"Scab, what is this fleshie doing in my office?! Haven't I made myself perfectly clear that….."

Kibosh stopped his ranting as he noticed three things he had missed at first; his bright blue dragon tail, his large barbed fangs, and his aura. With Kibosh being one of the most powerful ghosts in all of the Underworld he was able to easily determine what type of angel, demon, or creature was in his presence just by focusing on the aura they emitted. But this boy, this being, there was something very… off about this boy.

"You, come here, let me have a look at you. Hmmm your aura is quite unique."

"My what now?"

"I'm focusing on your aura, now stand still and be silent!"

Kibosh stared intently at the boy in front of him, analyzing his aura with care and what he saw confused him, and for some unknown reason, it frightened him.

"Hmmmm. Boy, leave us, Scab come with me."

As the boy was led out Kibosh turned and floated over to his desk and sat down.

"Scab, what was that thing you just brought before me? Is he another of your mutation experiments? Answer me!"

Scab was very confused and worried; it almost seemed as if his master Kibosh, the most powerful and terrifying ghost in the Underworld and its ruler, was scarred of this boy.

"No sir, he's no creation of mine and he's no mutant as far as I can tell. And I'm telling you the truth when I say he was found unconscious at the front door. Sir, may I ask what seems to be troubling you?"

"That boy Scab, there's something off about him, something different. His aura is a mix of demon, creature, and angel but it's too smooth and connected for him to be a Rorschach, it's almost like he was born like this but that shouldn't be possible! He feels both demonic and flowing with evil energy, yet at the same time he feels as angelic and pure as if he were a Cherubim!"

The green ghost was confused, this boy was unlike any being he had ever seen before and just having the boy look at him had filled him with an almost primal fear, something only a few other beings can do. As Kibosh calmed himself he turned to address Scab.

"Scab, I've decided what to do with the boy. I shall have you take him to Scare School and enroll him as a student there, tell the headmasters he's a shadow vampire or something. Afterwards I want you to inform the school gargoyles to keep an eye on him and report to me anything they might find."

"Of course sir, but isn't he a bit old to be in Scare School?"

"That mummy Ra is over two thousand years old, I think a vampire in his twenties will be fine."

"Of course sir, shall I contact the Headmasters to let them know of our imminent arrival?"

"Yes, please proceed."

Scab bowed and then stepped back as his gemstone in his head began to glow and the black mist swirled more violently. Light then poured out of his empty socket and the black mist oozed out and took on the form of the two headed creature known as the headmasters Alder and Dash.

"AHHH! Where did you come from?!"

"What are you freaking out about now brothe…. OH FLASH CREATION IT'S HIM!"

Kibosh had to keep himself from chuckling, it always amused him to see the headmasters freak out in his presence.

"I am here with a message for you both. I will be having a new student sent to the school. This one is different from most of the creatures in the school and he also has amnesia. I want him primarily placed with Fatch the Vampire Prince, he will be able to help the boy more than most seeing as he's gone through similar experiences in the past."

"Y-y-yes my lord Kibosh s-sir!"

"Oh of course your scariness, whatever you say!"

Kibosh had to force himself to not burst out laughing, they're always so terrified of him he's surprised they haven't wet their robe yet!

"Excellent, my secretary Scab will be there before the hour is up. Don't keep him waiting."

Scab then cut the connection and the black mist flowed back up through his socket and into his gemstone head.

"I want to keep a close eye on him Scab, I will be having you visit the school to interview those he makes friends with every month, I want some answers about this boy by then.
