Alrighty, hello and welcome to the first chapter of the first fanfiction I've ever willingly published, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own the Avatarverse or any of the characters living in it. I do own Mr. Universe and a character that hasn't shown up yet, but will hopefully in the next chapter or two. Enjoy my duckies.
The universe is full of troubled souls and soul troublers. The trick is to pick your side early, if you can figure out how to do it. That's what Mr. Universe did, and look at him now! Annoying the hell out of anyone he deems worthy or unworthy in this case.
Mr. Universe stood on the edge of his celestial platform on which his residence stood tall. As with every omnipotent traveler of the universe, he was currently searching for his newest plaything or victim as was more the case with Mr. Universe. Making idiots grow as people through ridiculously hard trials was just his thing, y'know?
Well it just so happened, that the planet his celestial home was currently hovering above was Earth, or as the rest of the sentient beings in the universe called it, the Planet of Idiots.
Mr. Universe smiled. 'Perfect place to pick up a sucker or two.' With a slight tap of his cane against the ivory tiles of his home, the entire stronghold began to lower into the colorful planet below. Picking up speed as he entered the atmosphere, Mr. Universe, we'll call him U for short, twirled his cane and tapped the platform every two spins. As the platform's speed increased further, flames erupted its now overheated surface. Mr. U continued twirling his cane and hummed a tune unfamiliar to most, changing the flames colors from red to green, then blue, and finally purple. He did enjoy the color purple.
"Let's talk of silly things, a man did say in kind. Of birds in trees of singing bees, and monsters in your mind."
Mr. U walked away from the edge of his platform and entered the large, oddly shaped tower located at its center.
"A monster in my head is odd, and rather untrue I'd lie, for why invite a creature in, and cause myself to die?"
Mr. U continued twirling his cane as he walked up the winding steps to the room located at the top of the tower.
"Oh but can't you see it now, the man said to his friend. All the fun and 'venture waits, just round evil's bend."
He sat down on one of the many plush pillows encircling a table and leaned back against the wall, his cane now firmly at his side on the floor. From the ceiling came a rather large bat, its fur a dull grey, swooping low and finally resting its large talons on Mr. U's shoulder.
"Ah, my little winged companion, I was wondering when you'd join me once more."
A huge jolt shook the tower, sending everything but Mr. U and his large winged mammal flying in every direction. When the quaking ceased, Mr. U simply snapped his fingers and the room was back in its mildly organized state. The bat, still perched on his shoulder, began screeching rather loudly, but Mr. U simply patted its head calmly.
"Now, now, friend. We mustn't be impatient. All ignorant beings come to those who wait, and provide a means to fulfill desires."
Okay, end of chapter 1, and a first glimpse at the Minister of Mayhem himself, Mr. Universe. I'd love to know what anyone and everyone thinks, though if you're lazy like me and don't want to, I don't care. Hope you enjoyed it.
