My Dear reader, I am glad you have chosen to partake in this voyage with me—though I must warn you: This is a dangerous journey, filled with action, romance, friendship, and hardships.
This excursion, you ask? It is merely the story of one boy and the people in his life.
One very important group of said people, were known as the Vexos.
The relationships between each of the Vexos was very complicated. Some were friends, some sought to be involved romantically, some just hung out for the sake of it, and some hated each other.
Lync was the youngest member, but not the weakest (of which he reminded everyone frequently). Mylene found him annoying, as did King Zenoheld and Professor Clay. Shadow had little interaction with him, but they got along. He was not to fond of Spectra and Gus, but he was, however good friends with Volt.
Volt was calm, silent, and protective, though none knew his reasons. He got along with everyone, most of the time up until his demise. Except for Gus. Gus had done Brontes a great wrong.
Spectra was a mysterious figure whom none trusted, with the exception of Zenoheld, his father (sometimes), and his ever-devoted friend Gus.
Mylene was thought to be cold-hearted, but she worried about her teammates; namely Volt. Shadow ended up being a close friend and ally, especially after Lync's and Volt's deaths. Their relationship may have even escalated into more, eventually...
Shadow was annoying, even more so than Lync. He had odd habits and quirks, and also seemed like a child sometimes. However, he basically got along with everyone.
Gus was more of a drifter, though he was best friends with Spectra.
Despite the fact that they had mixed feelings about each other, they were protective as siblings would be. They didn't like each other, but they cared—if that makes any sense.
However, there was one member of the Vexos that had hatred for him across the board. You guessed it: The boy. The boy this story is about.
To them, he was an arrogant, self-obsessed, and a mediocre Brawler (though none had seen him brawl before he joined their team). He also always acted like he had powers far beyond what he actually possessed, which annoyed everyone greatly.
The boy was delusional, however. He thought of them as allies, or protectors, despite the signs that pointed otherwise.
However, if any one of them showed signs of betraying his father (who just so happened to be King Zenoheld, and the leader of the Vexos), he immediately turned on them. Despite his deep (VERY deep) down wish that the other Vexos would accept (maybe even LIKE) him, his father came first.
This was because of the fear and respect that he held in Zenoheld. Also the love. Despite the cruel and insaneness within the mad King, Zenoheld HAD raised the boy.
So of course he would do whatever his father asked! The boy was seen an annoyance, a creep, and an arrogant fool by his 'friends' and enemies, true enough.
He was no hero, no knight in shining armor; in fact, he was the exact opposite.
The boy was greedy, selfish, and occasionally cruel. He was the type to fight against the heroes, rather than with them. He had no friends, only people that were practically forced to be around him. He had no mother, though he knew not why. His father was cruel towards him, borderline abusive, sometimes.
The boy didn't know how to express his emotions; no one ever taught him. He was, however, taught that friendships were to be pushed aside in favor of power and glory. He was taught that sentiment was for weak fools. He was also taught that he was a failure—that he would never amount to anything...
The boy wasn't poor, or deprived in those ways. In fact, he was rich; a prince. But that was beside the point; he had no one who cared, not really. He felt alone, felt like something was tearing him apart from the inside... But he couldn't cry (had he ever cried?), and he couldn't talk to anyone (no one was there, anyhow). So he turned cruel. He turned manipulative. Possessive. Angry. Mean. Arrogant. Bitter.
But when it came to King Zenoheld, the blond was nothing but a lapdog, following his master around and doing whatever he asked, despite the kicks he got in return.
Then one day, Zenoheld kicked too hard.
And the boy decided to bite back.
His name was Hydron, Prince Hydron of Vestal. And this is the story of how he, the evil villain, turned good.
A/N Thank You for reading the first chapter! I have most of this typed out, and will try to update once a week. This idea just wouldn't leave my head! In case you're wondering, most of your favorite characters from the first two seasons will be in here! I'm having mostly cannon pairings, unless you want me to stick Hydron with someone, towards the end... Anyway, I'm trying to keep everyone in character, so if I don't, please inform me. I am a bit of a villain sympathizer, so if I make Hydron too nice or good right away, just tell me, and I'll get him fixed up. XD And also! Most chapters will be longer than this. Just saying.
Anyway, Please Review!
