Hello, this is a little...opportunity, people have been unaware of how much impact the 'Puppetmaster' as he will be called, has on Ash's life and my story line, so here it is, a sneak peek into the Puppetmaster's plans. I own nothing except my ideas and OC.
A figure hummed as he sat in a purple abyss, sitting on a throne made of what appears to be solidified murky liquid. Holding a glowing orb, He watched with interest as Ash fought against his opponent.
"The boy is doing well. He has outdone my previous expectations though, his alternate self was horribly disappointing". The figure muttered.
He waved his hand, the orb disappearing, he waved his other, another one showing his interactions with Ruby and his teammates.
"He finally found someone he can love, a shame it won't last long. If he doesn't speed things up, things are going to come to a shattering halt in their relationship". He spat with a cool tone.
He grabbed the orb and made it glow, showing an old battle, between a ten year old Ash, and his Evil Alternate self.
"The other one was useful, but he never could get far, luckily their fight sparked a light in that boy, causing him to get stronger, and attempt to defeat me". He mutters with a laugh, the orb showing Ash vainly attempting to attack him, only to get knocked out instantly. "I swear the boy gets in more trouble than he's worth. A shame I can't hold a conversation for two seconds without him swinging a blade at me". He says with false pity.
He shifted the scene to Ash ascending to Super Saiyan 3, causing his face to contort into an irritated expression, hidden under the dark colors of the abyss. "This however, was not part of the script, something is amiss here, someone has tampered with my Puppet". He began before crushing the orb, breaking it into dust. "And I don't like sharing". He finished angrily.
He suddenly smirked before he formed another orb, this one showing Ash awakening his Xuen form, causing him to lean forward. "This new form on the other hand, it shows that the boy is progressing...far faster than I anticipated". He mutters. "If he awakens any more, he may very well get a bit too reckless, and without Ordos to keep him busy, I'm at his full attention, that power boost definitely did the trick to garner my interest". He admits.
He felt a feeling of irritation bubble inside him, before throwing the orb away. "It's too soon, the actors are all on stage, but no one has started the play. Right now they're just waiting for the right crowd to appear". He mutters. "The boy is getting strong, yes. But not strong enough to go through with yet, if he doesn't soon...then I may have to put him down". He declares.
He shifted his attention to the little 'Renegade GRAY' scenario, causing him to laugh slightly in amusement. "Watching him play Renegade one more time is a bit amusing though, his time as an Assassin was a horrible waste of opportunity". He mutters before waving his hand, causing the orb to vanish. He got up, the throne dissipating at a quick flick of his fingertips. "Soon, he will be the perfect Puppet for my play, and then...I will be the Puppetmaster...TO ALL"! He declares, thrusting his arms out with a maniacal laugh.
And there it is, finally giving people some reason to spite him, he WAS in fact behind the 'Fire and Ice' battle, and that's when Ash became his prime target. He is not aware of Garnet and Ember though, for reasons I will explain later. What do you think? Despise him, I certainly do and I created him. You'll see him at his worst as time progresses, things have only just begun. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
