Prologue

It's been 5 years since the day Fuse arrived. To me, it's been 3 weeks. How could one little accident have sent me hurtling through time? How could my world have turned into this… nightmare?

I remember the events leading up to my coming here like they were just happening 2 days ago. Funny how it all happened so fast.

My name is Jason Halenriser. I used to live a pretty normal life. I had friends, a loving family, a sister, a house, a couple pets, and a girlfriend. I went to a Vocational high school and worked in office technology. My life was simple and normal. And yet, I hated it.

It was too boring in my opinion, so when I got an offer from Dexter on my 16th birthday to take part in some experiment, I was excited. I had been chosen by the boy-genius himself to take part in one of his experiments. Of course I was going to take the offer.

But my parents didn't want me to go. We got into a fight and I wound up saying some pretty harsh things that, to this day, I regret. I snuck out of the house and had my friend take me to Dexter's place. Had I known that that would be the last time I saw my family, I would have said goodbye to them. I regret not doing so.

As it turned out, there were 199 other kids chosen besides me. We all ranged from age 12 to age 18. I was subject 001. We were put through many tests, and for some reason I kept noticing Dexter watching me and 3 others more than the others. I brushed it off as part of my imagination. Eventually we got to the final part of the whole thing. The experiment was a time travel experiment and we were all supposed go to a few seconds into the future to prove time travel was possible. It was so simple.

Yet, how could it all have gone so wrong?

We all got into pod-like things and we were ready to go. I was so excited and so happy. Dexter completed our bio-scans and had Computress, his robot companion, create direct communication links to each of us so she could keep in contact with us when we got to the future. Everything was ready. But then, Dee Dee came in and caused a problem. The pods malfunctioned and we were sent farther ahead than we were supposed to go.

When the pod malfunctioned, I blacked out. I woke up in a place I did not recognize. I was greeted by Computress's voice telling me I went farther ahead into the future than Dexter intended. Things didn't look right. Even though it was the future, I knew something was wrong.

One of the things that gave that part away was that fact that the sky was a weird shade of green. A nearby building was exploding and Buttercup, the green Powerpuff Girl, was flying around it. When I looked closely at the building, I noticed Blossom and Bubbles were on a part of the building fighting some weird green monster unlike any I've ever seen. I saw Dexter and Numbuh One of the Kids Next Door back-to-back fighting off a group of the monsters. Samurai Jack had defeated 3 monsters when an even bigger one seemed to appear out of nowhere from behind him.

Numbuh Five and Ben Tennyson came over to me and told me to follow them. As I did, three of those monsters came out of some weird green pod and a bigger version of them came out with them. Numbuh Five gave me a gun and she and Ben went to take on the big monster. I managed to take care of the three they left me with. Strangely enough, fighting those things was easy. It almost felt… natural. Numbuh Five and Ben managed to take down the bigger monster and came back to get me.

They told me the monsters turned into something called Fusion Matter and that I should collect it. Computress's voice rang out from the communication link again, warning us about more monsters coming, just as an even bigger monster attacked. It looked like a robot version of the mythological creature known as Cerberus. Ben called it a Cyberus and together, the three of us took it down.

After we killed it, Numbuh Five told me she recognized me as one of the people who volunteered for Dexter's experiment. She then told me to look at the sky, and when I did, I saw one of the most horrifying things I ever saw. A strange green mass was in the sky with planets sticking out of it. Numbuh Five said it was called Planet Fusion and that a guy named Fuse was in it. He was trying to cover the world in a strange green goo, and the monsters, which she called Fusion Spawns, were causing chaos.

Ben said they had adapted to the planet and that they all now came in different forms by using something called Terrafusers. He said if the infection gets too bad, Planet Fusion would absorb Earth. They then told me to go help Numbuh Two as they went to fight more of the Fusion Spawn. After a bit of exploring, not by choice of course, I found Numbuh Two by something he called a S.C.A.M.P.E.R.

He told me some monster called an Oil Ogre had stolen a transmitter and was using it to tell the other Fusion Spawns where we were. The Oil Ogre was not that far away and I made quick work of it and got the transmitter. I brought the transmitter back to Numbuh Two quickly. I then got a call from Buttercup saying Dexter was in trouble.

I quickly rushed over to her and she told me Dexter disappeared. She told me to check into the "Infected Zone" to look for him. She told me that the Terrafuser machines Fuse's monsters were using had infected a lot of areas, but thanks to Dexter, the areas were contained and are now called Infected Zones. I went to a Dexbot, like the ones I saw back in Dexter's lab, and I was sent into the Infected Zone.

I felt sick going in there. Just looking at the place was disturbing enough, but being up close to it was worse. Dexter contacted me on the communication link saying he was trapped in Fusion Buttercup's lair. I was confused by this because Buttercup told me to go help Dexter. I didn't know at the time that everyone had a second version of themselves called Fusions.

I used a creepy portal with tentacles coming out of it inside the Infected Zone and found myself in a weird cavern. I found Dexter near the portal I came through and he told me he remembered me. He said he knew we'd meet again. He wanted to send me back to the past to keep the future safe. Dexter told me to fight someone called Fusion Buttercup. I was expecting Buttercup herself, but when I saw her, I knew she wasn't the real one.

This Buttercup had green skin and red and yellow eyes and her dress was black. I asked Dexter what it was and he told me about the Fusions. Dark and twisted versions of the heroes and villains of earth who were created by Fuse himself. They apparently are extremely dangerous, and I learned this first hand when I fought her alongside Dexter.

When we beat her, she collapsed and melted into Fusion Matter, just like the other monsters. Suddenly, a strange, smaller version of Buttercup appeared out of nowhere. Dexter called it a Nano.

Nanos, like Fusions, are made out of Fusion Matter. Apparently I had used all the Fusion Matter I created to make her. She seemed nice, well, nicer than the real Buttercup anyways. She followed me after that and I was amazed by what she could do. For such a small creature, she sure is strong.

The cavern then began to shake and Dexter told me to leave. I told him I wasn't leaving without him, but he told me he needed to see if there was anything stolen from his lab in the cavern. Before I could tell him no again, he ran off. I left after that. I wish I had stayed to drag him out of there by force.

Once I exited through the portal, I found myself on the roof where Jack had been fighting the Fusion Spawns. The ground began to shake and all hell broke loose as building began sinking into the ground around me. Numbuh Two came up with the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. and told me they could no longer hold Tech Square anymore. I dashed for the S.C.A.M.P.E.R., but a flying monster that I later learned was called a Tech Wing came up and attacked.

It was then that Nano Buttercup leapt into action and stunned the Tech Wing. I used that moment as a chance to get to the S.C.A.M.P.E.R.. Buttercup and the others weren't able to hold off the monsters and Dexter gave us an order to find Mandark so he could rebuild the time machine. Numbuh Five, Jack, and Buttercup were waiting for us in the S.C.A.M.P.E.R.. We narrowly escaped the place, but it was only later that I learned of the results of Fuse's assault.

We made our way to Sector V in Hero Square after we got a holomessage from Dexter, telling us about what we had to do, which was rebuild the time machine. When I looked at Buttercup, I knew there was something wrong. She seemed upset, like she could break down at any moment.

Once we got to Sector V, I learned about what happened. Blossom and Bubbles had given their lives to get Buttercup and some civilians to safety, while Ben and Numbuh One gave their lives defending Numbuh Two, Numbuh Five, and Jack as the three of them got the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. going. As for Dexter, he didn't make it out of the cave. He died when Tech Square sank into the Fusion Matter.

I blame myself for his death. He was right in front of me and I could have saved him. If only I had stopped him from running off, maybe he'd still be alive. It's all my fault.

It's been 3 weeks since that horrible day. The time machine has been repaired, but I won't go back. Even though I have the chance to stop the events from happening in the past, I have to stay. I met with many of the others from the experiment. They woke up at separate times but we all know what we have to do.

I am one of the few who stayed in the future. Since that day, I have devoted myself to taking down as many Fusions as possible. I have taken down 25 now. Lately though, the Fusions and Fusion Spawns have been acting differently. They're acting like they're preparing for something.

Well, whatever it is, I know that I have to fight it. It's my duty to avenge the fallen and save the future. I'm on my way to take down Fusion Dexter now. Yet, I've got a weird feeling that something's about to change. I've got the feeling something big is about to happen. I wonder what it could be…

End of Prologue


So, I hope you enjoyed the prologue. I got plenty more stuff along the way and I will update as soon as I am able to. I promise.

Here's something for you readers. As of now, I am taking requests to put a character that you, the player/reader, has made and use/used in Fusionfall. Add the name of your character in the review and I will do my best to add them in. Whether they have big roles or not is up to me, but I will try to have them appear in the fanfic.
