Zero was with a small group of Dark matter. Recently a number of his matter were destroyed by a group that called themselves the New Star Warriors. They were small and weak, a mere annoyance that his Swordsman should be taking care of right now. In the meantime he needed to fill the gap that had been left, he needed to create more Dark matter.
He started by crying a steam of his own blood. Where each crimson drop fell it floated above the ground and began to expand until it was the right size. The body was done now he needed to make the mind. He imbued each sphere with his energy, they began glowing as bright as a sun before turning as dark as a black hole. It was done.
"Awaken!", he commanded the new matter. They opened their eyes and saw their master. A towering, pure white figure and a sharp contrast to themselves and their red and black home planet. Among them he was like a god, their master, their creator.
"You are Dark matter", his ice cold voice was the first thing they heard and he looked at them with otter disdain. This didn't faze them however if anything it comforted them. They didn't know right from wrong but in their minds their master was always right. He was perfect and had given them a name, who cares if it was shared by all their brethren.
The process was done so Zero examined the Dark matter before him. They were all as they should be, black spheres with a single yellow eye. With age their eye would turn red with their power and in would come their petals. Giving his nod of approval the older matter ushered their newest members away to be taught while he stayed behind. His Dark matter had it better than he did, born with a purpose in a place they called home, he could not say the same for himself.
Zero's POV
I can't remember my own creation, no smiling mother and father, not even a proud creator to welcome me into the world. I was always just there. I had spent much of my early existence wandering the universe searching for a home. Planet to planet I went, every time I saw happiness and joy, false promises of acceptance and my hopes rose. But every time screams of terror, shouts of monster and I continued my search.
One day clear in my mind I found a place that accepted me but it didn't make me happy like I thought it would. They tried to show me joy but nothing worked. They had only one option left, the Heart star. Their civilization was built around it,"Just touching it will fill you with love and happiness", they said so I did. It was the first time in my life I ever felt pain, my flesh was burnt were it had come in contact with it. It seemed nothing could pierce the wall around my heart, if I even had one.
The villagers were horrified and I was scared but greater then my fear was my anger. All my life I was jealous of what they had and when I had the chance to have it I was rejected. I could feel something building inside my, boiling over and threatening to burst. My skin like a volcano erupted and like the lava my blood came forth. The force destroyed the buildings they tried to hide behind, an unlucky few getting hit, and the heat melted what remained. They tried to pacify me but their cries went unheard as I continued my onslaught, it was pure chaos.
I should have been horrified by my actions, remorse at the bodies all around me but I didn't. I felt cold and numb, what I felt for my entire life and I was sick of it. The Heart star caught my eye, the thing that gave its love to everyone but me so I attempted to destroy it. But one of the survivors whether it was stupidity or bravery, I didn't think there was a difference, jumped in the way of the blast. It was probably a futile attempted to protect it, I was sure that it would destroy both of them but they were protected by a barrier. The Heart star flew into his hand and in a flash of light transformed into a staff.
The young man though surprised and hesitant leapt into battle with me, determined to save what's left of his home. During the fight I noticed something that to this day still puzzles me. The boy wasn't angry or even scared, all I saw was pity, as though sorry for me, and determination to do what he had to. We were both inexperienced in fighting but with his weapon he held an advantage over me, soon I had no choice but to flee the planet. But I wasn't done however, why should everyone but myself be happy, I will make them all feel the despair I endure.
Young man's POV
Me and what's left of my people began picking up the pieces of our village. We gathered together all the bodies, there were so many. All good people, all gone too soon. Everyone was in despair, I saw a little girl crying into a dress. It clearly wasn't her's and it so badly burnt you could barely tell what it was, we couldn't rebuild like this.
I raised the Love-Love stick into the air and sent out a soothing wave, true sadness doesn't just fade but it would at least provide some comfort. I led the prayer," May peace and happiness await those who have crossed over today", I turned towards the sky." And may peace and happiness await the misguided soul who has caused this destruction, may someone give to him what we could not", I finished. We who practice love and joy have failed, we have created a monster.
