Outsider Chronicles: Monkey Business
Most Outsiders wake up as they are being reborn. This one is a bit different. Aw well, at least sparing with Superman will go a long way to cutting out a lot of potential problems. Hopefully.
I know I shouldn't and this probably won't get past chapter 3, but I honestly don't care. I need to do something a bit different and this'll do nicely. I recently got Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for Christmas and it has inspired me to write this. The main worlds will be a sort-of mash between whatever DC I feel like using and Dragonball, albeit altered to work with this world. This could be fun Enjoy!
Prologue
The Time Nest, Conton City, the Realm Outside of Time
Chronoa, better known to her subordinates as the Supreme Kai of Time, hummed happily as she rooted around inside a futuristic coffee machine during one of the rare quiet times between crisis in the timeline. You'd be surprised how many there were considering how few people could actually travel through time. Then again, it was her job to watch over all the Timelines, so it was inevitable that something would go horribly wrong more often than not.
She had just finished gutting the machine (tossing the parts over her shoulder as she did, much to the future exasperation of her attendant who would have to clean up after her), when the Time Bird, Tokitoki, suddenly let out a loud squark that she could hear across the Time Nest. Startled and a little worried that something had befallen the Divine Bird, the Kai ran out of her house and across the Time Nest towards the perch where the Bird slept. Trunks, having already been outside, was already there and staring at the bird in shock.
"What happened?" asked Chronoa as she skidded to a stop beside her attendant, "Is Tokitoki OK?"
"Um, I think so," said Trunks, "But, well…"
He pointed underneath the bird at the large egg it was sitting on.
"Was he supposed to do that?"
Chronoa eyed the egg in bewilderment. Sure, Tokitoki did occasionally lay eggs that contained entirely new universes, but she usually had plenty of warning so she could prepare and it certainly didn't take so little time. That egg had to contain something very special that was extremely likely to give her and the Time Patrol a massive headache.
Just then, there was a flash behind her and Trunks, causing both to spin around, ready for anything. There weren't many entities that could pierce the Time Nest's barriers after all.
"EEP!" yelled the intruder as the tip of Trunks sword stopped just in front of the tip of his nose, forcing him to go cross eyed to keep the weapon in sight, "I come in peace, don't stab me!"
It looked like a Human, with pale skin, messy, dark brown hair in dire need of a trim and a brush, square rimmed glasses over green eyes and a tired looked shirt and jeans that had been through the wash a few to many times. The only odd thing about him was the fact that his eyes were glowing faintly and the odd aura that surrounded him.
"What the…?" gasped Trunks, "Who are you?"
"Dis?" asked Chronoa at the same time, surprised to see the reclusive Watcher out of his 'cave', "What are you doing here?"
"First tell Monkey Boy to put the sword away," said Dis.
Trunks looked a bit put out at being called Monkey Boy, but did as he was told.
"Thank you. Now, I'm here because I received an alert of yet another Outsider being born in my territory."
"What does that have to do with me?" asked Chronoa.
"Hes a Replacement Soul," said Dis, "I have no idea who he's replacing, but I do know that he'll be fucking up your Timeline simply by breathing. That new egg from Tokitoki probably holds his new Timeline."
Chronoa stared at the Watcher for a moment, before letting out a groan. She had never actually had to deal with an Outsider, but she'd certainly heard how problematic they could be.
"That'll be fun to keep on track," she said.
"Yep, best of luck," said Dis with a grin, "I suspect you'll meet him eventually anyway. See ya!"
He vanished in a flash of light.
"Supreme Kai of Time?" asked Trunks, "What was he talking about?"
Chronoa sighed.
"It doesn't matter," she said, picking up the egg, "Its just something important about the new Timeline. Its a bit different to the ones we usually watch over, but our job remains the same. Keep the timeline on track."
"Understood," said Trunks as Chronoa walked away with the egg.
A short prologue to set the scene with Chronoa and Dis, mainly because I'm probably going to be using some Xenoverse stuff as well. Nothing really to add here, so I'll leave you to leave a review. Until next time!
