Hey guys, here's chapter 3 already. This is a very important chapter, it introduces some characters of the fandoms I'm including in this fantasy world, an OC a friend of mine created, and the first actual battle that Matthew takes part of. Will he be afraid to take a life when necessary, or will he just go with the flow and go all Call of Duty on the enemy? Some of this may seem confusing, but It'll make more sense in the chapters that follow. So yeah.

Enjoy my beautiful dark twisted fantasy.

Justice came over and sat on the table next to Ellie. Matthew was still in a state of shock. Why was his sister here? Where was he? Why did Ellie ask about his stories?

"I can tell your confused, so give me time to explain myself, ok?" Said Justice.

Matthew stayed silent, so she began. "Ellie brought you here because we needed to know a few things that only you knew. That's why you're in this interrogation room. As for the rope, it was a safety precaution. We didn't know how you'd react to all this."

"And for the time being," Ellie added. We need to ask you one more question about your stories. Does Cloud 9 have any magic?"

Against his better judgment, Matthew answered. "Cloud 9 has all sorts of magic. It's basically like the Marvel comics, some people have powers and some don't. People can learn magic, and some can be born with it. Apart from magic, there are also a multitude of technologies from some of my most preferred stories, such as weapons and vehicles from Star Wars, and items from things such as Bioshock. In Bioshock there are these potions you can drink that give you question certain power you can keep for the rest of your life. There are also various other things of magical or technological items, but those can be from anything I like."

"That was the answer I was hoping for." Justice said.

Matthew was growing tired of these mind games. ".Tell me what you want from me?"

Ellie and Justice just looked at each other, unsure of what to do. After a silent discussion between the two, Justice spoke up.

"Ellie and I aren't exactly who you think we are."

"Are you not my sister? The one person I thought who actually loved me for everything I was!?" He said angrily.

"No, I am your sister, and I do love you. But what you don't know is that everything you are is more important than anything you could ever imagine."

"And why is that?" He asked.

Justice tool a deep breath, and spoke. "Because...Cloud 9 is real, and you're here right now."

"Oh, fuck you!" Matthew yelled furiously. "Quit fucking with me, I'm already a mess as it is. I'm a terrible author, I have no friends, and the two loves of my life kidnapped me and probably poisoned me so I die a painful death. Who would've thought that the few people I cared about would do this to me. I don't ever use profanity, but fuck the both of you and I hope you fucking burn in Hell for Eternity, assholes."

Ellie flew off the table, pulled a pistol out of the bag and aimed it right at Matthew's chest.

"Oh, so now you're gonna shoot me? Do it then, bitch! End me already, it's not like I have anything or anyone else to live for anyhow." As angry as he was, Matthew had tears streaming down his cheeks. He was hurt bad, far worse than any beating or self-abuse could do. He was ready to die, he didn't have any reason to be alive anymore.

"What should I do, Justice?" Asked Ellie.

Suddenly the lights went out. A faint explosion rocked the building.

"Dammit!" Justice hissed. "They're here."

"Come on, we have to meet up with Camulus or this base is going under." Replied Ellie.

In the darkness Matthew could hear them get up and leave the room. Then the lights came back on, and in their place stood a boy. He had fair skin, Brown eyes and curly brown hair. Matthew immediately recognized the big, which was a major problem because... well, he doesn't actually exist.

Matthew couldn't believe it. Here, sitting right in front of him, was a character from one of his all-time favorite shows...

"Hello!" Said the boy. "I'm, sorry if this is awkward. You know who I am, right?"

His words losing him, Matthew nodded.

"Then now you know that Queen Mary wasn't lying to you when she said you're in Cloud 9."

"But how?" Matthew questioned. "How is this even possible?"

The Boy shrugged. "I don't know, but there are some people you can ask that question, and i think they'll know. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to prove that you're in Cloud 9, and we need you, Eskalion."

Matthew gasped. The Boy called him by his God name.

The Boy untied Matthew and made his way to the door and opened it.

"Wait, where are you going?" He asked.

"To look for my family. There's a war outside and I need to make sure they're ok. They'll be a group of people coming to get you."

The Boy looked back one last time at Matthew.

"If Queen Mary gets angry because you're untied, tell her that Steven Quartz Universe let you go." And he was off.

Many different emotions rushed through Matthew's head as he sat there in the chair still, now freed from the tight bond of the rope. He couldn't believe a character from his favorite cartoon was alive. It made sense since Matthew had him in his stories, but they were just stories. There's no way any of this is real...could it?

And if all this was real, what did that mean for Matthew? Would he rule over the people of Cloud 9 like he had wrote it so, or would he just become a regular citizen?

If everything he wrote down was true, then there would be terrible things coming his way, as well as for people from the Real World...

The door slammed open into the wall. Matthew jumped as a squad of people in black uniforms armed with guns marched in. There were 4 people in total, and all but one of them wore helmets that covered up their faces. The one who didn't wear one had fair skin, short brown hair and sea green eyes. In his hands was an M16 assault rifle, and on his hip was a sidearm. Strangely, he also had a sword sheathed in a scabbard on his belt. Strangest of all he looked like he was only 17 years old.

"Are you Matthew James Williams?" The helmet-less teenager asked.

Matthew nodded, still in shock from the perpetual scene before him.

"Then come with us." He said. Then he unholstered his sidearm, an M1911 pistol, and handed it to Matthew.

"Trust me, you're going to need it." The soldier said.

Even though he'd never used a gun and didn't want it, Matthew took it anyway.

"Let's go. You're an HVT, so stay with us at all times."

"Wait," Matthew said. "Who are you? Are you from Cloud 9 too?"

"My name is Perseus Jackson, son of the long dead God Poseidon, now come on, we haven't much time."

Matthew followed the armed squad of soldiers out of the room, leading him down a long hallway. Soldiers and personnel were scrambling off in all different directions to what he could only assume were their battle stations. He was wondering what was going on and why was there a war about to break out.

"Um, can I ask what's going on?" He piped up.

"Reich forces are attacking the city, so we need to defend this position. But you're more important, so we're moving you to a secure location." Answered Perseus.

"Percy, the Reich has us surrounded." Said one of the soldiers in a female voice. "The only way out is through them."

"I gave him a gun." Percy said in his defense. "He'll be fine."

"About that, I've never used a gun." Matthew admitted.

"He's never even used a gun before." One of the other soldiers said, also female.

"Then teach him real quick, Hazel." Percy shot back.

The soldier called Hazel took hold of Matthew's hand with the gun and pointed it at an imaginary enemy. "You point and shoot. Use these knobs to aim at an enemy, and aim for the waist up. Congratulations, you've passed firing guns 101. Now get ready to use it."

"What do I do if the bad guys shoot back?" He asked.

"Either take cover, or shoot first. Like Han Solo did to Greedo." She replied, pointing at my Star Wars hoodie.

Percy stopped at an opened up area at the end of the hall, like a really big hanger for planes. Then Matthew realized it was quite hanger. Instead of planes there were all sorts of military trucks and transports, and along the walls were artillery shells for anti-aircraft guns.

At the other side of the hanger was a huge wall-sized door that was open. Outside was a large group of soldiers that were setting up sand bags for cover and prepping machines guns nests all around the exterior of the building they were in. Some soldiers were entering vehicles and driving off to who knows where, while most of them were gathering weapons and ammo and taking defensive positions around the base. Matthew was concerned by the amount of firepower the soldiers were packing. It looked like they were preparing for total war.

Upon exiting through the hanger door, he noticed that there were not one but many other buildings in the relative area nearby, some close and some farther away by a few miles or so. It appeared that forces at the other buildings were also preparing for battle.

Percy put a finger to a small earpiece in his ear. "How far out are Hugo's men?"

A few seconds later he said with a serious tone "ETA is 30 seconds."

"There's no way we can move him by land, we need to put him on a chopper." Said the female soldier who first spoke earlier.

"No can do, Corduroy. Annabeth says there are fighter nets in the sky and they have orders to shoot down any non-Reich bird in the air." Replied Percy. "We're gonna have to fight, and he's going to fight with us. Trust me it's a good things he's here to experience this. This war is no where near over."

"Literally standing right here, guys." Said Matthew, clearly annoyed that they were talking as if he wasn't there.

"Sorry about them doing that." Said the only soldier who hadn't spoken yet. "It's been a long day, as you can tell. It's not everyday you're ordered to escort your king to safety. I'm Nik, by the way."

"Well Nik, who's the king?" Asked Matthew.

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion. Then Percy said "You are."

"Course I am. I am apparently in Cloud 9 after all." Matthew mumbled to himself.

"Guys, we have visual contact with the enemy. Up ahead." Corduroy informed.

Less than a mile away, a huge convoy of military vehicles were heading in their direction. From a distance you could see some of the vehicles break off and head towards the other buildings to attack. As Matthew observed the oncoming threat, he grew worried that the huge force would prove too much for the friendly soldiers to handle.

"Are you sure you guys can handle that large a force?". He asked concerned.

"These men know you are their king. They'll go down fighting to make sure you survive." Said Nik.

"Very reassuring, but not my question." Said Matthew.

"I know." Nik replied.

"Corduroy, take Matthew to the entrance of the hanger and stay with him." Percy ordered. "Help the other men defend that position."

"Aye, captain. Come on, Matthew." Corduroy took Matthew's hand and lead him back inside the hanger, but stayed just inside the building.

"Will they be ok?" Asked Matthew.

"Don't worry about them, I've seen Percy lead men into impossible odds and come back fine. And apparently he fought both a God and a titan in a sparring match and won. Trust me."

Quick minute later gunfire rang out around the area. Matthew looked outside and saw that the convoy had stopped right outside the building and had opened fire on the soldiers defending the base. The friendly soldiers returned fire as the enemy soldiers. A few of the enemy soldiers fell to the ground dead, and the rest of them either took cover by the vehicles and trees or stayed in the vehicles and fired large 50 cal machine guns. Soldiers everywhere on both sides were scrambling around the area and it was chaos for a minute. It didn't take a rocket scientist to see that the bad guys really wanted the base. Or perhaps Matthew.

While the soldiers outside fought, Matthew looked at the hostile soldiers and noticed that their uniforms were grey and they had insignias on their arms. It was a swastika.

"Wait, they're Nazis!?" Exclaimed Matthew in shock.

"Yes, but not in the way you think." Answered Corduroy. "You have a lot to learn about Cloud 9."

There was a huge explosion and a good amount of the friendly soldiers were immediately blown up or killed by flying debris. The Nazis began to advance towards the hanger now.

"Motherland, fall back! Regroup in the war room!" Corduroy shouted to the few remaining friendly soldiers.

While the remaining Motherland forces retreated back into the building, Corduroy took Matthew's hand and lead him into a room down the hall they came down earlier, but this was much larger than the interrogation room. It was the size of a large classroom, a large table in the center of the room. The table was covered with a map of the surrounding 10 miles of the base and the land around it. Soon after Matthew and Corduroy entered, the remaining soldiers came in and locked the door behind them. There were about 15 soldiers who survived the initial attack from the Nazis, some of the wounded. Matthew was horrified when he saw that one of the survivors had had one of their eyes shot out. Blood slowly trickled out of the now empty socket, yet the soldier seemed unfazed by the horrible injury.

"Who's the biggest ranking officer here?" Corduroy asked the group of men.

"You are, sergeant-major." One of them answered.

"Of course I am. Just my luck." She complained. She took her helmet off to reveal a beautiful fair skinned teenager face and long red hair. Matthew knew who she was immediately.

"Wendy? From Gravity Falls?"

"Yep, born and raised." She said with a smile. Then she leaned forward and whispered in Matthew's ear.

"Hey, you've never been in combat, so it's not your fault, but unless I'm with friends or alone, either call me sergeant, sergeant-major, or Corduroy, 'kay?"

"Oh, o-of course. Sergeant-major." He said slightly embarrassed.

"Ok, here's the plan." Wendy began. "Our first priority is to protect the king at all costs. The base will most likely be captured, so when we get out of here, I order anyone who has the chance to commence Protocol 21. We can't let the New Reich take this base of operations, or they'll have an advantage over us using the Intel held here. Do I make myself clear?"

"Sir yes sir!" Answered all the soldiers in unison.

"What's Protocol 21?" Matthew asked.

"Remotely detonate the base, effectively destroying any possible Intel before the enemy gets a hold of it."

"Oh." He said back.

"Now Matthew here has never had combat experience, so he needs to be protected. Captain Jackson gave him a sidearm so he can learn to protect himself, which means he might need some tips on how to shoot. Be nice to him not just because he's our king, but because he's still a kid and because this is a battle. Good people die on both sides of a war, so make sure you don't come home in a box. And remember-"

Before Wendy could finish the door to the room slammed open and the Nazis stormed in. There was an exchange of fire and the room filled with smoke, lowering the visibility substantially.

Matthew raised his pistol and looked around, trying to decipher who was good and who wasn't through the smoke. He just stood there unsure what to do, until a Nazi soldier appeared right in front of him and tried to grab him. Matthew quickly stepped out of the soldier's reach, took aim and shot the Nazi right in the throat. The man dropped his rifle and fell to his knees, clenching his hands on the gaping hole in his Adams apple, desperately trying to stop the flow of fresh blood leaking out. Then, with one final movement, he reached up and slid his hand down Matthew's face before falling to the floor dead.

Matthew furiously wiped at the blood smeared on his face by the dead Nazi. After he got most of it off, he looked around at the chaos of the small war in the room. Soldier on both sides running around either shooting or engaging in close quarters combat, and there were so many bodies from each side that the dead would actually end up tripping some of the living soldiers.

Matthew suddenly couldn't breathe. Death was everywhere around him, and he just took his first life. The overwhelming guilt and remorse, however, wasn't even close to the feeling that Matthew's first kill wouldn't be his last. That absolutely terrified him.

While the fighting continued the smoke slowly began to disperse, greatly increasing Matthew's vision. He saw a Nazi struggling to reload his shotgun. Almost like he had done so all his life, Matthew all too quickly took aim again and fired 2 rounds in the vulnerable hostile's chest. Faster than his second victim's body could even collapse, Matthew took this time to shoot 2 more unsuspecting Nazis. What scared him even more was that he was already getting used to ending people's lives quickly without hesitation.

"Clear a path! The king needs to get out of this fight!" Wendy shouted over the gunfire.

In response, one of the Motherland soldiers pulled the pin on a grenade and threw it out of the room where the Nazi forces were entering. A second later the hall outside instantly filled with light and the immediate threat was dealt with. The room was cleared with enemies, but the sound of several sets of footsteps indicated that there were more of them to deal with.

"PUSH OUT!" Wendy ordered.

The moment she uttered those words, all the Motherland soldiers rushed out of the room, killing any hostile by any means necessary. Wendy once more took Matthew's hand and lead them out and down the hall with her men. As Matthew and Wendy all dashed down the hall and neutralized any threats with the men's aid, the oncoming storm of Nazis were rapidly cut down by the raging brute force of the Motherland force. Within minutes they were all back outside where they first were when the battle began.

After taking out any surviving enemies, Wendy shouted "Alright, that was lucky as all heck. Now everyone check your ammo and enter any functioning vehicles and drive out. Pick up any Reich weapons and ammunition you can as well. Hurry up, that was only the first wave. Enemy reinforcements will most likely be here soon, so let's get going!"

While the soldiers began scavenging for supplies and loading up trucks, Wendy led Matthew to a truck that was unmanned. She opened the passenger door and was about to have Matthew get in when a sneaky Nazi officer came up and slammed her head into the side of the truck. Wendy pushed him away, drew a huge combat knife and slashed at him, but the soldier just blocked with his arm and kneed her in the guts. Wendy winced and he punched her before throwing her to the ground. Then he bent over and took her knife.

Matthew raised his gun in attempt to help out his protector, but the Nazi officer just slammed the gun to the side so the bullet fired harmlessly into the air. Before Matthew could react the officer grabbed him by the shoulders and headbutted Matthew, causing him to fall down.

Instead of killing Matthew like Matthew thought he'd do, the officer just stood over the boy with a huge grin on his face.

"Well well, look who we have here." The officer said in what sounded like a German accent. "Look who we have here. It's the 'all powerful king of Cloud 9.'" He said, making air quotes.

Several feet away, Wendy coughed and spit out blood on the cement ground, catching the officer's attention. He dropped the knife on the ground by Matthew and took Matthew's gun from the ground, making his way over to Wendy.

He squatted down and said, "So this is the boy you stay loyal to? You've just meet him." He leaned closer. "Look at him. Look him in the eye so you can die knowing you were too weak to save your king. Die knowing you've failed to protect a child from your enemy." Then he dug the barrel of the gun into Wendy's head.

"NO!" Screamed Matthew. He leapt up, grabbing the knife and charged at the officer. The officer stood up fast and fired a round off in Matthew's direction, but missing completely. Before the officer could get another round off Matthew tackled him and wrestled him to the ground. Matthew straddled him so he wouldn't get away, angled the knife horizontally against the officer's throat and pushed down.

The soldier began to hold the knife from sinking any further into his throat, but Matthew headbutt him, effectively stunning him. Then Matthew stopped pushing and stood up, seemingly showing the officer mercy. The officer looked up with gratitude in his, thinking he'd be spared.

Then Matthew raised his foot up in the air. Fear returned to the officer's eyes, and Matthew stomped down on the knife.

The blade decapitated the officer's head, and the life quickly left his dead eyes.

Matthew went over to Wendy on the ground and helped you up.

"You okay?" He asked, his violent demeanor quickly vanishing, replaced by one of caring and concern.

"I'm fine, thank you. But are you sure you are?" Said Wendy.

Matthew looked over to the officer's lifeless corpse. We walked over, retrieved the gun off the ground and the knife from what was left of the Nazi's throat.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Here you go." He held our the knife to Wendy.

She shook her head. "Keep it. That's yours now."

Matthew paused for a minute to wipe the blood from the blade on his hoodie. Then he stuck the blade in his belt and put the pistol in his waistband. "Ready?"

"Yeah, let's go."

The 2 of them entered the truck, Wendy taking the wheel while Matthew took the passenger seat. She started the truck and drove off, following the other trucks leaving the base, now overrun with Nazis.

As they rode off to who knows where, Matthew took out his knife and stared at it. He still had a lot of questions, but right now he had am answer for one.

He would protect this world. He would protect his world.

He would become the God he'd dreamed he was all those lonely nights.

He would become...

Eskalion.


So there you go guys, the first introduced fandoms. Percy Jackson, Hazel Levesque, and Annabeth Chase are from The Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series, Wendy Corduroy from Gravity Falls, and my favorite so far, Steven Universe from Steven Universe. Nik is an OC and won't come up in this story again, but will be again in one of the sequels from this story.

And just as an FYI, Ellie Williams is Ellie Williams from The Last of Us. Justice isn't from a fandom, but isn't exactly an OC. More on that later.

And talk about Matthew going psycho on that officer though. Didn't even plan on that, but I feel like it went pretty well as far as developing his character. Way to go Matthew!

And as far as Percy and Hazel go, they'll be back for a brief time. Don't worry, no character deaths yet!

But anyways, until next time, bye.
