Chapter 0: The Beginning

It was a sunny and windy afternoon in Maplecrest, as the leaves started to turn to brown and flow into the wind, the students at a nearby school are getting ready to leave. After the final bell had rung, the students all went to their homes to relax, except for three, "Hey! Wait up!" said a fairly short brunette to the other two students walking down the sidewalk, "Huh? Oh, hey Carol!" replied a silver-haired girl, "Sorry for being Late Filia, I had to pack my stuff." said Carol, "It's all good, right Nik?" Filia replied as both turn to their new friend, Nik, who recently moved to the canopy kingdom as his father received a position to work in the kingdom, "Yeah, there's no rush", he replied, "plus we have plenty of time to get to the Malt shop, so we're all good". After some time, they started asking questions about each other, "So, how are you liking the kingdom so far?" asked Filia, "It's been good so far, tons of new things to see" replied Nik as they approached the shop, they have been planning to visit the shop since lunch, so that they could break the ice easier than to talk in a noisy cafeteria, "seen a ton of crazy stuff happening around too, I have been seeing posters for a circus that's gonna be happening later, are you guys interested in coming with me?" asked Nik, "Sure! That sounds like fun!" Carol replied back. "Where are we meeting up?" asked Carol, "we should probably show him around first though, that way, he wouldn't get lost. Are you up for some walking Nik?" asked Filia, "Sure, that would be nice" Nik replied back.

As the group head out of the shop, someone from afar was watching them, she was wearing a nurse's outfit with an eyepatch over one of her eyes, ~bzzt~"This is Brain Drain, do you hear me Valentine, over."~bzzt~, "Yes, I hear you, I think we might have two perfect candidates for our experiments", "I only told you to get one, one is perfect for our research", "What if the one we take fails suddenly if we were to implement the parasite?", she was waiting for a reply, but she was only given silence, after some time, Brain Drain replies back, "Fine, take the two candidates, but make sure no one sees you". Smiling, Valentine calls back to Brain Drain with a somewhat playful voice "Alright, will be back in twenty-three hundred hours with the subjects, this will be fun….."

It was now five p.m., Nik was ready for their visit to the circus, as he left the room, he went straight to the kitchen to tell his parents where he was going, "Hey Mom, Dad, I'm just gonna go with some friends to the circus, be back in a bit!" Nick called out, "No problem, just make sure you get back here before it gets too late, okay?" his mom replied back, "Be safe out there!" his dad called out to him, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon.", "They grow up so fast." Nik's mother said to her husband, "Yeah, and it'll be the last time you'll remember having one", "WHA-", their shock was cut short by being shot in the back with syringes filled with an unknown liquid, "Well, that was quick." Valentine told herself, admiring her work, "Those amnesics will work their magic, soon they'll forget they even had a son, now onto the second one.".

Meanwhile…. At the Circus…

"Man, I'm excited, this is the first time I've seen something like this." Nik said to both Carol and Filia, "Yeah, I'm excited too! Are you excited too, Filia?" Carol asked Filia, "Yup! And I have some snacks too!" As Filia raised her hands to show the bags of snacks she bought for them to eat while watching the show, as they enter the tent, they are greeted by an enormous sight of the main center stage, the ropes in the air and the sounds of the crowd getting ready to watch the show filled both their eyes and ears of this spectacle. "Hey, guys! Let's sit over here!" Filia called to the two, "Nice call, these are good seats too, we get to see everything up here." Carol replied back. After they had sat down and got ready for the show, the lights started to dim and the entrance to the tent was immediately closed, A large voice started to speak to the crowd "Welcome everyone to Cirque de Cartes! We hope you're all ready and enjoy tonight's performances of our amazing and talented performers! And now for our first act for tonight! She is one of our top performers, Master of the living weapon: Vice-Versa and the ultimate combination of power and beauty, we present to you: CEREBELLA!", as the ringleader uttered the words, a woman ran out to the stage and waved happily to the crowd, she had a orange colored dress to compliment her hat and her slightly tan skin, and to contrast her blue hair, "Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a great and grand time tonight!", the crowd erupted as she performed her death-defying tightrope act while carrying two elephants with her hat, as soon as her act was done, she began to wave to the audience as she walked back to the backstage. "That was amazing!" Nik said in awe, "this is awesome!".

Meanwhile...At the backstage…. As soon as Cerebella walked in, she was greeted by the other performers, one of which was her friend, Feng, she had a red dress and two birds and two large feathers in her hair, "You did great out there, as expected of one of the 'top performers', but personally I think that you could perform in the centre ring than the tightrope. " Feng told to Cerebella, "Aw, thanks, you'll do great out there too once it's your turn to perform, I just know it! And besides, if I was performing down below, no would look up to see you perform." Cerebella replied back with her arms around Feng's shoulders, she looked around the room to find a certain face, one she was hoping to see tonight, and in record time she found the person who she was looking for, "Vitale! Did you see me out there, Vitale?" asked a older looking man, he was in a suit and had a pair of glasses on, "When Feng told me that you were coming, I practiced hard all weekend, I even added the elephants too! Good thing they didn't poop this time.", "Yes, yes…. You did fine, that hat of yours can put on quite a show." Vitale responded, "But now to business, can I speak to you in private? I have a job for you that needs your… special talents." Vitale asked Cerebella as they walked out of the the tent.

Back with the group…. After the show had ended, the group had walked out of the tent and started to head home, "Man, that was great!" Nik exclaimed, "I hope we get to do more of this in the future." Carol replied back, "Yeah, tonight was a ton of fun, though I wished that I bought more snacks…" Filia replied back to the group, "Yeah… you kinda ate it all before the show even ended, it's all good though." Nik replied back to Filia, "I don't know, I started to get really hungry earlier, I ate before I even went here." Filia tells the group, "I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, right, Nik?" Carol says to Nik while she nudges her elbow to his, "huh? Uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's just your metabolism or something like that…" Nik replies back. When they finally reached a certain point in their path, they went their separate ways and headed for their homes, as Nik saw the lights at his home, he started to think of his comfy bed and how long of a sleep he'll be doing as it is a weekend night. He suddenly stops in his tracks when he sees something weird in one of the windows of his house, he shakes his head and checks again to find nothing there, "Huh, that's weird, I swear I saw someone, must be my imagination" Nik thinks to himself as he enters the house, as he opened the front door, he was greeted to the sight of a woman in a nurse's outfit in the main hallway, "What the- Who are you!? What are you doing in my house?!" Nik asked, panic in his voice, "Oh, I'm just picking the perfect candidate for our little research project, hope you don't mind that we picked you for it" the nurse replied back in a calm voice, "What?! I didn't agree to participate in anything of the sort!" Nik replies, almost screaming, "Oh? Well, too bad, it's mandatory, have a nice sleep, hun" the nurse answering back to Nik, who was in complete shock over what he had heard, suddenly, the nurse shot a syringe to his neck, he immediately felt drowsy, "why... are… yo..you..doi..ing..this?" Nik asked slowly, "Easy, for the sake of defeating the next Skullgirl." the nurse replied back, now with his eyes almost closed, he could see her open up a body bag and covering him up, "I have one of the candidates ready for transportation, en route to the next one, then to Lab 0 for drop off" was one of the last things he heard before he passed out.
