Prologue: The One Who Gained a Nemesis
"It's truly incredible!" gushed the anchorwoman in front of clips of the public's favorite superhero, "Once again, our hero has appeared to save us from the insatiable evil of Exdeath! Thanks to Klauser, the children of Dissidiapolis Community Preschool can go back to their learning with no fear!" The image shifted to show the lauded Klauser with his legs being hugged by small children. With the look on his face, it was hard to say he wasn't one of them.
The superhero, known only as "Klauser", was a tall man with a shock of white hair. He wore a zebra-striped tunic that clung to him in ways that made his fans squeal when he used his iconic pose, which usually resulted in hoarse throats after his every appearance. The footage showed it now; arms pulled back, legs spread, and chest thrust out. He was the picture of heroics with his hair fluttering in the breeze, a winning smile melting the hearts of even the most cynical viewer. Superheroes, losing favor with the public when he first arrived on the scene, had gained new respect by association. All around the people were filled with hope by the exploits of this one man.
"That worm," snarled Exdeath, crushing the remote in his grasp. The now useless piece of plastic dropped to the floor, sparking and hissing. "Never before have I had a 'nemesis'! None have lived long enough to earn that title. But that fool-!" The frustrated supervillain sent the television still blaring the praises of his unwanted rival into a black hole.
"If only Klauser were so easily taken care of," he mused, the power of the Void calming him immediately, "He's been impossible to track. Other would-be heroes would choose alias' that left a clear path to them. But Klauser… that one chose a name hard to trace. For even that fool could never be so stupid as to use his real name!"
Little did he know, he could. And had. For Bartz Klauser, age twenty, was a superhero.
Yo, CB here. After a summer of nothing I'm back with a story I put on hold to finish World of Wild Roses. I'm not sure how often I can update due to the horrors of senior year, but I'll make an effort to be consistant.
Expanding on the summary, the story will be told from three points of view: Bartz (action-adventure superhero rom-com, oh my!), Firion (suspense), and Warrior of Light (drama). Each chapter will have three separate parts told strictly from their viewpoint, with the occasional extra chapter like this prologue that clarifies something happening away from the action. In addition to BartzxSquall, the pairings will be LightxCosmos, PrishexTerra, and one-sided SephirothxCloud.
Without further ado, please enjoy Danger in Dissidiapolis!
