The year was 2019. It was a chaotic year so far. But it was about to get worse. Way worse.
In an orphanage located in New York city, two boys ran down the hallway, one chasing the other and both were having fun. The one in front was a white Russian kid, age 12. He had short black hair, a body of an ordinary 12 year old, blue eyes, and wore a red shirt and blue jeans. This kid's nane was Rodger Genning. The one behind him was a black Scottish teen, age 17. He has very short blonde hair, a fat body, and wore a blue shirt and tan cargo shorts. This was Robert Alex Splicer. But the noticable thing was his eyes. They were a sign that he was blind, considering his irises were grey. But as he chased Rodger, he would jump over toys and turn corners like a person with sight. Doctors did label him blind, but he was seeing perfectly fine. Rodger Genning and Robert Alex Splicer were inseperable, best friends.
As they ran through the halls, Robert ran faster in a random burst of speed and tackled Rodger to the floor of the room, which was the tv room and had all the other orphans in it. Robert pulled Rodger into a big bear hug and the two giggled. The orphanage manager, an elderly nun named Sister Mandy, saw this and smiled. The tv had cartoons on it, but the kids of different ages, ranging from 5 years to 16 years, were staring right at the best friends. One kid got up, a 10 year old named Jack. Jack was the bully of the orphanage. He walked to Robert and pushed him to the ground. Sister Mandy picked Jack up before he could continue his assault. But Robert kept his cool as he stood up. Robert was always bullied by the other kids because of one thing. He had the ability to control an energy called Spirit Mist.
Robert's father was called the Multiverse Hero. The Multiverse Hero had many identities. After a death of a previous Multiverse Hero, a random baby would possess it and become the new hero of the multiverse. But Robert was a special case. The father died and the Spirit Mist usage was transferred to his son, which never happened in Multiverse Hero history.
The tv started to blare a siren. The president came on, replacing the cartoons, and told the entire city of New York to evacuate. The reason was because robots from multiple portals were entering the city. But the orphanage was located in a part of New York that had no evacuation center at all.
"Everyone. Go hide." Sister Mandy commanded. Everyone rushed to their rooms and hid under their beds. Robert hid with Rodger and stayed quiet. But before anyone knew, a bomb went off on the roof of the orphanage. Multiple robots flew in and started to flip over beds, grabbing and throwing the other orphans like they were looking for something, or someone. Robert and Rodger trembled in unbridled terror as they watched the mayhem take fold. All the robots soon left. Except one. The robot had Jack in its grasp, obviously about to punch a hole right through the child's skull through his eyesocket. Sister Mandy rushed in to get the kids to safety and saw what was about to happen and was fearing for Jack's life.
Robert got mad and came out of his hiding spot. He charged the robot and was about to punch it to distract it. But his fist was enveloped by the Spirit Mist as his fist made contact with the robot. Because of the force that resulted from that incident, the robot was obliterated with a large explosion. Sister Mandy, Jack, Rodger, and Robert were all shocked at what happened. Robert looked at his fist, seeing it enveloped still. As hee released the fist, the energy was absorbed back into his body. Robert was still stunned, but Rodger yanked him by the sleeve of his shirt to start running.
When the 4 were outside, they saw the extreme chaos that was going on. It was like a nuke had dropped. Buildings damaged, cars flipped over, and just total destruction everywhere. Jack saw 3 robots coming towards them and tugged on Sister Mandy's dress before picking up some rebar. Sister Mandy picked some bricks up and looked to Rodger and Robert. "Run. We will hold em off." Jack told them. Sister Mandy looked back at the robots, knowing this would be suicide. But what other choice did they have? They had the new Multiverse Hero and these robots were definitely after him.
Robert had to pick up Rodger and run with him because his best friend was refusing to leave the nun's side. As they ran down the street, they could hear laser blasts and the agonized cries of pain from the nun and the bully. This brought tears to their eyes. Sister Mandy has raised them since they were very young. They found her as their mother during their stay in the orphanage. And Jack may have been a bully, but they did see compassion in Jack's eyes. Hearing them get killed made the friends extremely devistated. But they had to keep going. For them.
A limo pulled up and stopped in front of them. Robert put Rodger down and they both got ready for a brawl. The window opened and showed, a girl the had never seen before. She had blonde hair, red cheeks, and worn a red suit top with black dress pants. She was like a ruler of some kind. "Get in!" She shouted. Robert and Rodger looked at each other with skepticism. They heard fast paced clanking behind them and saw thousands, if not millions, of robots approaching. Because of that bot army, they had no choice but to do as she said. So the limo started to pull out once they were in. They almost made it out until one grabbed the door and ripped it off before getting ran over by the limo. Rodger was not buckled and he flew out the doorless side when the limo swerved hard to avoide 50 robots that were blocking a route out of the city. But Robert caught him by the leg as his friend was dangling closely near the road.
He pulled him in and embraced him before looking at the girl. Robert sighed and smiled before turning to the girl. "Thanks lass. You saved me and my bestie's life back there." Robert said with a slight chuckle. Rodger tapped him on the shoulder and pointed to his hand, seeing it was smoking. Robert got nervous and looked to the woman as he shook his hand to clear the smoke. "Eh, may we know your name lass?" He asked before looking at the hole where a door should be. "My name is Charlie." She said as she too looked at the doorless hole. "Man. If the robots are this bad, we might need to send some more soldiers." That name made bells ring in Robert's head, but he didn't say anything as the limo put the pedal to the metal out of New York.
(So here is the first chapter of the new Multiverse Peril. Listen. I will of course use updated versions of universes in the original, like the Pokemon Sun and Moon anime as well as the most recent version of Monster High, and I do have some universes in mind, like Hazbin Hotel obviously. But, do not be afraid to suggest universes.)
