Finished his bath, Ai grabbed the clean clothes one of the children left for him and headed straight to the living room where everyone had gathered. The first thing he saw when he got there was Yuya smoking. The young man had never done so when he was still here, therefore, he was a bit shock.
Gazing at him, he put out the cigarette then took off his hat, pulling out a big white towel and held it out with his usual smile.
"You should dry your hair, sister in law. Or else, your clothes is going to get wet."
Saying his thank, Ai took it before sitting down on the empty spot. After that, Yuya took a deep breath and Revolver's tale was told.
Before the incident which gave him his power happened, he and his brother traveled around the multiverse, doing whatever pleased them but at the same time, gathered necessary materials to recreat Revolver's parents' experiment. He didn't really say why. He just said it was necessary.
After everything went down, the black haired teen with blue highlight fell into a deep sleep and he didn't wake up no matter how hard Yuya tried. A few minutes later, the "first personality" whose name the crimson eyes young man refused to mention showed up. He really gave Yuya a hard time. But once he got knock out, he switched back with Revolver. Over the years, more and more of them showed up. Some were annoying while others were quite relaxing to talk to. They kept him company most of the time when they weren't trying to sneak outside.
At first, he just thought this was a side effect of the explosion but then, one told him Revolver was a whisperer. She explained that every "personality" he had seen so far was actually different versions of Revolver from different Earths. For different reasons, their lives came to an end. Instead of going to the other side, their souls merged with his body. They were given a second life this way, coexisting with him.
"Then Deity and Ryoken...were dead from the start?" One asked.
"I afraid so for the little one but I'm not so sure about Deity. There is something different about her." He took a long pause before continuing.
One day before Earth X fell, Revolver woke up from his ten long years slumber screaming while tears ran down his cheeks. It was just for a split second but Yuya met little Ryoken.
"I did what I could to calm him but nothing seems to work. Next thing I knew, a painting appeared on the canvas next to the window. It was a painting of you." Yuya gazed at Ai.
"What happens next?" Asked Yusaku as he looked at his friend who was gripping his pants tight, trembling lightly.
"He told me the one in the painting was special, that he has to find them no matter what. After that, he took off." He said a few more things but none of them reached the golden eyes teen. He felt suffocate. That person had always been by his side this whole time. Yet, he didn't even realize it.
"How could I be so blink?"
Then, he felt a light tap on his shoulder. Turning his head, he met Yusaku's eyes. They were telling him none of these was his fault. He was still trembling but it didn't seem like he was going to faint anymore.
"I told you everything. Now, where is my brother?"
"He brought me back to my Earth three months ago and left after saying his goodbye."
"So you got dumped." A teen said.
"Shut up, you idiot!" A young lady smacked his head.
"Oww!"
"Just before I was forced through the portal and ended up here, I was at the Villains headquarter at Earth X. I don't know how but it seems the head captured him."
"That doesn't make sense!" Yuya slammed the table. "My brother is the strongest person out there. No one could match him!"
"Unless..." Yusaku furrowed his brows. "Ai, what does that villian look like?"
"He...is what you expect the god, Hades to be like."
"Does he have a big emerald gem on his chest by any chance?"
"He does but it's not emerald, it was more of a dark sapphire color."
"...We have a big trouble on our hands." The other survivals from Earth X seemed to have the same heavy feeling as Yusaku. "If I'm correct then the one who captured Revolver is Soulburner. His power is similar to the one he possesses."
"How do you know that?"
"...Because like the two we have in custody, he was once a super hero."
