1. Prologue

Karkat Vantas was having a shitty day.

He hadn't slept a wink the night before due to obsessively working on his Ectobiology for the past week. It had taken a long time to finally find the right combination of frogs that resulted in the creation of Bilious Slick, the bearer of the new universe. Although, even that was another pile of feces to add to the load gaper that was his day.

Karkat had created Bilious Slick, but something went wrong along the way. Bilious had looked incredibly sickly, but Karkat continued the process, in a rush to end the clusterfuck of their Sgrub game. All he had wanted was to go home, to be alone for a while, but it seemed he had fucked himself (and all of his friends) over like the nookstain he was.

They hadn't figured that anything was wrong even while they forged their new universe.

Karkat had been so close to finishing the session, he had been SO CLOSE to opening the gateway to their new universe.

Then HE appeared, Bec Noir, and an instant later they had begun running for their lives again. They took refuge in the medium, hiding from their enemy and watching the new universe they had created blossom without them.

He had watched on as his universe grew and flourished, leaving him behind. He had observed the creation of a blue planet, Earth, and all of the life it held. He saw the appearance of one dorky blue nookstain of a human, and his gentle, supportive upbringing, his fun-loving, carefree nature, and he HATED it.

To say that Karkat Vantas was having a shitty day was an understatement. And so he decided to take matters into his own hands.
