A/N: Oh my goodness. What is this? Another story? Really? As a matter of fact, this is indeed another IZ fic. However, unlike my current fics, this is NOT a role play but rather, a solo fic. Yes. You heard me right. I am actually sitting down and working on a solo fic again after 4 years of being lazy and only working on RPs. Shocking, no?

Anyways, my goal in writing this particular fic is to see whether I'm really as good as some people claim me to be. Obviously, my role plays with other writers have become pretty popular in the IZ fandom over the past few years or so. However, I can't help but feel a need to prove myself as a solo writer. I want to see whether my solo writing abilities have truly improved since the last solo story I worked on or whether it's been just a fluke that people seem to like the role plays I post on this account.

For that reason, feedback on this particular story would be VERY MUCH appreciated, you guys. I really want to know what you guys think of my writing, given I'm actually TRYING to write well in this story.

That said, I hope you guys otherwise enjoy "From Rivalry To Passion". I'm really going to be putting a lot of love and dedication into this particular story. So hopefully I'm not wasting my time in doing so.

Disclaimer- I do not own the cartoon that this fanfiction is written for, nor any of the characters from it. I do not make any money from the writing of this story.

"Yes. I understand completely. Iry cirtn al oss A'ss ryyd."

"Very well then, human. I'll make arrangements for you to be transported to the planet of your choosing. But remember, one month's time is all we can afford you. Do I make myself clear?

"Yes. Thank you. I give you my word. I won't let you down." a pearly-toothed smile broke the otherwise stony expression of the dark-haired man standing before the council that had gathered on his behalf.

"You best not, human. This opportunity comes but once in a millenia. Should you fail at completing your mission within the allotted time, we'll have no choice but to cut you from our plans. Every second counts, and the fate of the universe depends on our success. Absolutely nothing can be allowed to hold us back. Not during this most critical of times." the elder of the council spoke, piercing green eyes locking themselves onto the vibrant blue eyes of the human who stood before them.

Said human bowed his head in a small show of respect. "I understand." he said again before turning to head for the exit, that same smile from before still plastered across his face. At long last, he was returning to the place his adventure had first begun. Returning to his home planet.

"Earth." he spoke the name of the planet he'd been away from for nearly 6 years now.

"I'm coming home now. I'm coming home."

A/N: And there you have it for just the prologue so far. Hopefully I've managed to capture the attention of some of you guys. Should you be interested in knowing what the first few lines say, please feel free to ask in your reviews. This garbled alien language is something I made up quite a while back now. But it DOES have an English meaning behind it. So I'd be happy to translate for anybody interested in knowing what it really says. Well, until next time, you guys~
