Garrett Travers was born to two magicians and was raised in a circus until he was 7 years old. His family were poor but they lived a happy life. One day, forced to make ends meat, Garrett's parents stole money from the public. However, they were eventually found out and they were forced to flee. As the cops were chasing them and wanting to keep their son safe, Garrett's parents hid him in an abandoned shed in the middle of nowhere. As they were about to leave and draw the police away, the latter shot at the former's car causing it to blow up and kill them both.
Garrett sees this happen and immediately runs out in tears until he trips and falls to the ground. The cops surround him and menacingly beat him to a pulp for being the son of criminals. After they finished wailing on him, they left him to die.
Garrett was completely traumatized from the experience as he continues crying over losing everything he had ever known. He became nihilistic, violent, and suicidal after this events.
Few days later, he made it to the city where he ended up running around naked and stabbing cops, wanting revenge for his parent's death. They deemed him insane and sent him to a mental institution where he would spend the next ten years enduring mental and physical torture from the employees over there.
As the ten years went by, Garrett got into a fight with one of the patients until it was broken up by Aaron Utherson, one of the psychiatrists, who takes him to his room and asks him about a medallion he had in his storage. Garrett says that it was his father's. Aaron explains that it is The Medallion of Tarruk, one of the most sacred and powerful artifacts in ancient times. He tells him that his real name is Auron, a sorcerer from a millenium ago who travelled to the future to find the Medallion.
Garrett at first doesn't believe him until Auron displays some magic with him. Auron says the Medallion will only work for one who is worthy of its power and that it chose Garrett. Auron asks Garrett to train with him as his apprentice, but he refuses. Auron eventually finds a way to persuade Garrett to go through with the training and to become a superhero in the process.
Somewhere in a Dark Realm, a strange man with a green face, long black hair, and wearing a black robe looks into a magic orb with the face of the Illusionist in it. This creep was named Ragnarok.
Auron and Ragnarok were raised together along with their other pupils by their master. As they got older, they became the top students. However, Ragnarok was content on becoming the strongest sorcerer and wielding the Medallion of Tarruk, but their master saw darkness in his heart and refused, as the Medallion didn't react to him being its chosen wielder. Ragnarok, believing his master and pupils have neglected him and held him back, murders them all, including his master. Auron is the only one that remained and after a long battle, he manage to defeat Ragnarok by banishing him to the Dark Realm and sending the Medallion through a time portal he conjured and followed it, but only to lose it later on. Auron became a psychiatrist in the late 20th century under the guise of Aaron Utherson and waited for the day when the Medallion and its chosen wielder will arrive. Auron has secretly been in distraught due to the fact that the sorcerers are now extinct due to the genocide that Ragnarok unleashed and being the last sorcerer.
In a deep and hallo voice, Ragnarok yelled, "I feel rather insulted by this boys trick, I'm the greatest wizard in history!" he noticed something around Illusionist's neck, "IMPOSABLE! The Midallion of Tarruk! This time it will be mine, and Auron will not stop me!"
Back on Earth, Garrett and Auron we're in their home, discussing the responsibilities of being a hero.
"Those dimwitted cops are still treating me like garbage just for helping people." Garrett said.
"Garrett, I told you, you weren't helping people, you were using your powers for your own benefits." Auron told him
"No, you told me to use my powers the way I know how." Garrett responded, "After meeting you six months ago at that nut house I was in for ten years, I'm still reeling from the fact that you are a sorcerer."
"There are many mythological things in this world that you probably wouldn't believe until you see it with your own eyes." Auron said.
"Oh, you mean like how 2 months ago, I fought against Solarus and he almost roasted me alive until you rescued me from certain death?" Garrett argued.
"I'm just trying to make sure you learn about responsibility and to keep you safe like a fath-" Auron explained.
"YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER!" Garrett cut him off.
"I get it, Garrett." Auron followed, "You're still grieving over the loss of your parents. But if you don't let me help you..."
"Who the hell cares about me?!" Garrett asked furiously.
"Have you given up on life, Garrett?" Auron asked.
"...I guess I have." he answered.
There was a trouble alert on TV, showing Ragnarok throwing fireballs all over town.
"He found me," Auron said, "I don't know how but he found me!"
"What, do you know this guy or something?" Garrett asked.
"Ragnarok..." Auron answered, "a former friend that went rogue and killed my master. You need to stay out of this Garrett, he's bad news."
"Why?" Garrett resented, "I wanna help."
"Just stay here, I promise I'll be back." Auron told him before leaving.
Garrett noticed his mask and knew Auron couldn't face Ragnarok on his own. He grabbed his mask and went after him.
Somewhere in the city:
"Auron, I know you're out here, show yourself!" Ragnarok demanded as he threw more fireballs.
Auron appeared out of a portal. "Very well then, Ragnarok, or should I call you 'The Sage'."
"It's been a long time, hasn't it wizard trash." Ragnarok said.
"It has, traitor." Auron responded, "Ever since you betrayed our master and fellow students for the medallion."
"Yes," Ragnarok added, "The medallion that rightfully belongs to me. The power to change all of reality and manipulate it with magical properties. I have been waiting in the darkest dimension for the medallion's abilities to awaken. NOW GIVE IT TO ME OR I'LL DESTROY THIS LAND THAT YOU LOVE SO MUCH!"
"I can't do that, the medallion has already chosen its wielder." Auron explained, "Besides, Master told many times why it wouldn't go to you, you know that! That wielder is my apprentice, Garrett."
Garrett came out of a portal wearing a top hat, an opera mask, a red bowtie, a white shirt, a black cape, and the medallion. "Is it true?" he asked.
"Garrett, what are you doing here?" Auron asked.
"I came to help you!" Garrett answered.
"That figures." Auron responded, "I had a feeling you wouldn't listen to me."
"Well, what can you do?" he sarcastically stated.
"EYE OF MADUSA!" Ragnarok shot a powerful blast at Auron, impaling him through the stomach.
"AURON!" Garrett called out.
"Garrett, I'm sorry but I'm finished." Auron said, dying, "Promise me that you will use your abilities for good and never stop smiling."
"I promise..." Garrett responded with tears flowing down his face.
Auron vanished into thin air.
"Finally, that idiot is gone." Ragnarok laughed, "Did he seriously believe that a child is worthy of that ancient power?"
Garrett was getting more angry as Ragnarok continued talking crap about Auron, "...and that he let his apprentice and the medallion in danger. Now give it to me, and I will let you live to become my servent."
"GO TO HELL!" Garrett yelled. "Let's end this!"
"I agree," Ragnarok replied, "but I think I have an idea to make this more...how should I say this...Interesting." Ragnarok raised his arms in the air, "DARK DOME!"
A portion of downtown Montreal was sealed in a black and blue dome, "I won't ask you again. Give. Me. THE MEDALLION!" Ragnarok demanded.
"You'll have to kill me to get it!" Garrett told him, "BAT SWARM!"
A bunch of bats appeared and started picking at Ragnarok.
Ragnarok countered Garrett's attack, leaving him to fall to his knees.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA, Is this the best that Auron's student can do? You're so weak! No wonder Auron got killed, especially with those last words he told you. I'll be taking that medallion now, boy!"
Garrett held on to the medallion and remembered what he promise Auron before his death, "Promise me that you will use your abilities for good and never stop smiling." He began laughing maniacally as two giant hands appeared on Ragnarok's left and right sides.
"What is this?!" Ragnarok asked.
Illusionist: "Hey readers, Illusionist here to bring you the show, or in this case the Fic of a lifetime!"
BMG Studios: "Uh, what are you doing?"
Illusionist: "Breaking the forth wall, just like in the movie. It's kinda my thing."
BMG Studios: "Look buddy, I'm telling the story here! Do you have any Idea how hard it is to break the forth wall in a Fan Fiction?!"
Illusionist: "No, and I honestly don't care, just keep writing and narrating while I take care of the forth wall breaking."
BMG Studios: "*groan* Fine, Deadpool wanabe."
Illusionist: "I heard that! Whatever, getting back to this fight. First off, Has anyone seen Penguins of Madagascar? If not, spoiler alert!"
Garrett started dancing, "One hit to the left," the left hand kicked Ragnarok with one of its fingers, "One hit to the right." the right hand did the same again. "One hit this time!" Both hands did it then.
"Be serious you wizard trash!" Ragnarok demanded as both giant hands grabbed him, "Unless you give me the medallion, I will destroy everything you love!"
"Destroy everything you love, HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA, This guys hilarious!"
"Stop mocking me!" Ragnarok growled.
Illusionist: "Oh my God! Has anyone seen Batman Beyond? If so, here's something you might recognize. MIRROR MASK!"
A giant replica of The Illusionist's mask appeared above his head.
"WHO ARE YOU!?" Ragnarok asked.
Illusionist: "Should I tell him?"
BMG Studios: "Please do, I don't have all day."
Illusionist: "Okay, I'll tell him, Mr. Writer guy."
"I'm The Illusionist!" Garrett told him with a big smile on his face.
The mask shot a yellow laser at Ragnarok and disintegrated him. The dark dome disappeared shortly after.
"Well, that takes care of that crazy wizard." Garrett said as he wiped his hands, but the sound of police sirens was in the air. Two cops approached him, "Well, if it isn't the big strong mighty manly men!"
"Hands in the air you freak!" One of the officers demanded.
"You serious?" Garrett asked.
"Who are you?" The other officer asked.
"Lara Croft." Garrett answered. "Just kidding. Cops are such dumb people."
"Freeze!" The cops both said as they shot Garrett, who was still laughing in pain. "Great, another weirdo."
"There seems to be more and more of these freaks everyday." One cop said.
"Lets just arrest this lunatic." the other followed, "I heard someone was gonna recruit this guy, But I forget his name."
"You mean Halem? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Illusionist: "For those of you who don't know, Halem is a vigilante like me, but unlike me, he can produce electricity, just like another guy that I'm gonna meet in the future. I know, pretty shocking coincidence right!? HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
BMG Studios: "Enough with the jokes, I need to move on to the next story! So can you finish up already!?"
Illusionist: "Okay, sorry. He stars along with me in a superhero film on YouTube called "Galactic Justice" where we fight against a crazy alien. Crazier than I am that is, HAHAHAHA!"
"What's so funny?" one cop asked.
"It's just that you cops are so much fun." Garrett answered, "I believe we were meant to do this for eternity, HAHAHAHAHA! As a great man once said, "Madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little push" HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Grab his arm." the other cop told the other. "Your coming with us sir!"
Illusionist: "And there you have it folks, my life story. If you want to see more of lil'old me, go to Spectrum Productions YouTube page, or check out some of BMG Studios other fanfics. This has been your friend The Illusionist, and Goodnight!"
To Be Continued.
