Chapter 1

Matter And Antimatter

A brown-haired boy resembling Fayt Leingod is currently at a keyboard, typing while talking in a Journal-like fashion.

"Interplanetery Log #475. Invasion of Greeton was a success. They caved in to our demands and have begun to pay Tribute. We now own more than half of our world. End Transmission."

The boy then gets up and examines a window outside of his dwelling. Nothing but stars and the emptiness of space is seen. A girl then pops up from behind him.

"Yaft! Hello?" She shouts. The boy, apparently named Yaft, turns abruptly only to find this world's version of Sophia Esteed.

"Oh, Sapphira." He replies shyly. "Didn't expect to see you over here. Aren't you supposed to be collecting Tribute?"

"I finished that over two hours ago." She says rather irritably. "I've been trying to talk to you for two hours, but you've been so sucked up in the Interplanetery Log. I know you like your evil rants, but two hours worth?"

"Well, someone had to record the information. Flick isn't the ideal choice since he's dumb as hell. Rosalia and Henkle are too young to understand, the others are out in their own turfs. What can I say?"

"Whatever." Sapphira says in a monotone voice. "Anyway, I've found something on the scanners that you need to see."

The two teens enter a technological room that looks shockingly similar to the cockpit of the Diplo. They then proceed to one of the various computers where A man mirroring Cliff Fittr is sitting.

"Flick, off." Says Yaft who makes a "Shoo, shoo!" motion with his hands.

"I just got comfortable!" The man whines. He then backs off of the monitor once Yaft threatens the man with his sword.

Yaft sits and is shocked by what he sees.

"That's right." Sapphira says, giving Yaft an "I told you so!" face. "Scanners indicate a small presence of Matter energy surrounding Elicoor 2."

"It's true that a collision of Matter and Antimatter will end everything, right?" Yaft asks.

"Yeah." Says Flick. "But this energy is controlled, and appears in a Gateway-like fashion."

"That's it." The boy stands up, making a confident pose with his fist clenched. "I'm calling a meeting of the Executioners."


Meanwhile, the scene shifts to the world where Fayt Leingod and his friends reside.

Sophia Esteed and Fayt Leingod are seen shopping at a nearby mall in the Town of Peterny. Sophia found herself a new dress and Fayt found himself yet another blazer. This one was black. We see them at the register.

"50,000 Fol, please."

"Sophia. This is too much." Fayt says, rubbing his arm. "We only have 70,000 to spend. If we use the Debit Card anymore, we'll have to pay bills. I know that we decided to live together since Luther was deleted, but we agreed that we would consult each other about financial issues!"

"Oh!" Sophia says, pouting. "We've barely spent any money except for food. Besides, we've been wearing these clothes for who knows how long? We need a wardrobe change!"

She tugs at her pink shirt and Fayt's white blazer, their 1P clothes in SO3.

Fayt sighs and takes out his wallet. "I guess your'e right. But, warn me next time, okay?"

They pay for the clothes and head home to their house in Peterny. When they head in however, they see Maria sitting on one of the nearby chairs. Her expression is a mixture of relief and shock.

"Oh, thank goodness your'e okay." She says, standing up while looking at the two shocked teenagers.

"Maria?" Sophia asks. "What are you doing here?"

"Yeah, Maria." Says Fayt rather sternly. "Isn't it customary to knock?"

"I'm sorry, Fayt." She says. " But, this is super important."

She shows Fayt her Quad Scanner. "Look at this."

Fayt immediately drops the clothes he was carrying and stands there with his mouth open.

"Antimatter!?" He asks, shocked.

"Controlled Antimatter." Maria replies. "It's formed some sort of gateway to another dimension. A shuttle that accidentily flew into it came out just today. The passengers were all mentioning an alternate universe. I've reunited our team just in case something comes from there to harm us. I need you and Sophia to come with me to the Diplo."

"To think that we had the chance to rest!" Sophia complains.

Later at the Diplo, Maria explains the situation to the rest of the team. The team consists of the people who stood up to Luther.

Albel Nox: An Airyglyph soldier and lonely warrior. Acts as though everyone else is weaker. Loathes himself as a result.

Nel Zelpher: An Aquarian soldier who dabbles in Runology/Symbology. Kind, but very firm. Doesn't trust easily.

Roger T. Huxley: A Menodix boy hailing from the Lost City of Suferio who wields an Axe. Still immature. Rather overconfident.

Cliff Fittr: A Klausian who fights with his fists. The first person to join with Fayt. Big brother-type personality.

Mirage Koas: Cliff's friend and Maria's right-hand woman. Obeys every order, regardless of absurdity.

Adray Lasbard: A warrior who has years of experience fighting in the Aquarian military.

Peppitta Rosetti: Leader of the Rosetti Troupe, a circus team. Cheerful and uppity personality.

Fayt Leingod: A boy with the Destruction gene implanted within him by his father. Looks weak, but has a tough personality.

Sophia Esteed: Girl with the Connection Gene within her. Uses Symbology. Has a bit of a fragile side.

Maria Traydor: Girl implanted with the Alteration Gene by Fayt's father. Calm and cool-headed.

"This is the situation. A gateway of Controlled Antimatter to our dimension was recently opened." Explained Maria. "We need to do more research on this gate. We must know how it was formed, and how to close it before something emerges from it. Any ideas?"

"If it's just a gate then why worry? Besides, we'll just cut down anything that enters." Says Albel.

"Bloodthirsty thing, aren't ya?" Asked Roger. "Just let the big brains do the thinking."

"Shut up, you little maggot." Says Albel.

"Well, maybe if we explore this alternate universe, then determene if it's dangerous or not?" Mirage asks, being Roger/Albel's Voice Of Reason.

"No." Maria replies frankly. "This Antimatter may be controlled, but not all of it isn't. Walking in with guns blazing may destroy the universe."

"But that shuttle made it out okay." Cliff says. "What's to say our's can't?"

"Me and my researchers must do a little more reasearch." Maria replies, sighing slightly. "Until then, I ask that you all stay on the Diplo tonight. Rooms have already been assigned. Sophia, please help me?"

"Cliff." Fayt asks. "What's your view of the situation?"

"Well, I just think that we wait and see." Cliff replies calmly. "Will these Antimatter guys be just like the Executioners, or are they nice? Anyway, good night."

Fayt then goes to bed. As he lays down he thinks to himself.

"I just know that this...won't be pleasant."
