Re: Zero What If?
The cast had just finished watching arc 3 and they were discussing various issues when out of nowhere a voice called their attention to the screen
"Hello people, it's a pleasure to finally be able to talk to all of you" said a voice that sounded quite different from the usual warden's voice.
said voice sounded less threatening and more relaxed than the warden to which they had become accustomed, in fact some noticed the slight tone of joy that culminated each word
"Hello, excuse me but your voice is different from our usual warden, you aren´t the warden right?" duchess Crusch Karsten asked what everyone present was thinking
"Right, as you can see ... or hear, I'm not the warden you're used to, but before I start with the reason I'm here, I'll ask you a question" all those present in the theater stood up expectantly about it
"Who wants to hit the clown?"
"WHAT!?" The first to say something was a certain pink-haired maid, terrified of what might happen to her dear master, because she knew that many of those present wanted the death of the love of her life.
"I go first!"
"I ask for a second!"
"I third"
Garfiel, Felt and Beatrice were the first to say something, who could blame them? Everyone in the theater had a certain kind of repudiation for the margrave, some due to his desire to assassinate the holy dragon, others because of his irresponsibility. He should be present in his domain to protect the people who lived under. his jurisdiction.
But those who most detested him were the members of his camp, they all hated him from the depths of their being, as he was responsible for the events of the Sanctuary and the attack on the mansion, events that were avoided thanks to the efforts of Subaru and now with the knowledge of his curse they had no doubt that he was also responsible for the pain and trauma that tormented the young knight.
"Ok ok ok, everyone return to your seats, for now you will not do anything with the clown, I just said it so that you will calm down and relax, but do not worry, later everyone can vent without remorse" at the words of the warden, they all calmed down and those who had gotten up returned to their seats somewhat annoyed at having excited them at all
Ram breathed a sigh of relief as her master would be fine, at least for now.
"Well now with this off of the table, you will wonder who I am and the reason that I am replacing your warden" many nodded at these words
having a being capable of holding the most powerful people in Lugunica prisoner was already terrifying but the idea of having more than one of these beings already became absurd to say the least
"E- excuse me... but why are you here, what happened to our warden?" the trembling voice of a little girl was the first to ask what everyone was thinking
"There is no reason to be scared dear Petra, everyone can be calm I am not here to hurt you" the calm voice of the warden was something they were not used to, usually the warden spoke to them in a tone of resentment and bitterness, not to mention that it always seemed like he was busy and in trouble
"And the reason why I'm here instead of the warden, is because he is very busy at the moment attending other important matters ... and unfortunately he does not have the time to be able to come and continue what he started" those who were seated could swear they heard him say the last part with a tired tone
"So in his absence I will be responsible for the visions on the screen."
everyone nodded and gave a sigh of relief
which was immediately cut off by the voice of the new warden
"All that said, what do you want to see next?"
The warden's words caught everyone off guard, they didn't know what he meant by this
"Excuse me, but what do you mean by that question?" Emilia was the one who asked "we just finished arc 3 so the next thing we should see is arc 4" all of her camp members nodded at these words, everyone wanted to continue watching the rest of Subaru's journey, especially the attack that left one of its members in a coma for more than a year
"Ah of course ... the problem is that ... I cannot show you that since that is the work of your warden and I am not allowed to show you that"
many opened their eyes in surprise because they did not understand the reason for these strange rules
"in that case what can you show to us, I suppose" the twin-tailed loli could be heard in a rather annoying tone
"Come on, relax a little Beako, there is no reason to be upset" the half-elf tried to calm the anger of the little loli
"I've already told you that only Betty's contractor can call her that, I suppose!"
"While I can't show you some things related to Subaru's journey in your world, there are others that I can show you, for example ..."
Suddenly the screen lit up showing what seemed to be miles and thousands of pieces of crystal, but what caught the attention of the spectators was that in each one of those crystals, images of all kinds could be observed showing events that they had already seen and others with visions totally unknown to them
"What's this supposed to mean!" Julius was the first to speak when he saw a crystal that showed him and Subaru training together under the gaze of his mistress.
"Sister, look at that!" Rem's excited voice resounded as he saw in a crystal the image of Subaru and her as a happy family with several kids who seemed to be their children
"Old man Will look!" Felix's trembling voice made Wilhelm and Reinhard set their sights on crystal, for a small moment they could see what could be described as the greatest joy for the Astreas, Reinhard and Wilhelm practicing with the sword in the courtyard of the mansion while not very far away, sitting at a table, they could see Reinhard's grandmother and mother watching the two with happy smiles.
the eyes of both were filled with tears when they saw such a scene, their minds could not process what they had just seen, it was the most beautiful thing they had seen in their whole life
In the same way, all the members of the theater were stunned by what was shown to them, they had no idea what was happening, the crystals shown by the new warden showed scenes beyond the imagination of each one, but they all shared something in common each of those crystals showed what could be described as a beautiful dream
But that happiness and joy turned into terror and despair when the beautiful scenes of the crystals turned into nightmares beyond their worst fears.
"this... can't be" Emilia's shaky and hoarse voice showed the state she was in
After all, for a brief moment she saw what was her greatest fear, the eyes full of contempt and hatred that she had always received from everyone in the world, this time were present on the face of the most important person to her, those eyes belonged...
To her knight
the only person who had seen her for how she was instead of her appearance from the first moment, the person who had smiled at her and said how beautiful she was regardless of her resemblance to the witch of envy, the same person who had taken her hand and had sworn to protect her and wait until she could respond to his feelings
that person now saw her with the same hatred and contempt that the whole world had given her
in the same way everyone present was horrified at the visions that the crystals showed them
Suddenly the voice of the warden resounded throughout the theater in an ominous tone that indicated the beginning of a new journey for those who would witness unthinkable things.
"Reality"
"Space"
"it is more than a linear path"
they got ready ...
"it is a prism of infinite possibilities"
because they knew that a truth ...
"where a simple choice can branch out into infinites realities"
unknown to them would be revealed ...
"creating alternate worlds different from the ones you already know"
a truth that would put all the knowledge they ever had ...
"I am your guide through these vast realities ..."
under doubts that they would eat them inside
"follow me ... and ponder the question ..."
at this moment everyone had thousands of questions but when hearing the warden only one filled their heads
"WHAT IF?"
yes, as you saw it,i copy the intro of what if? from marvel. I have planned to do a series of reactions in the style of the series of what if?. In other words, I would make one or more chapters showing them certain stories and making their reactions, I came up with this idea because whenever I see the proposals of reaction fics I thought that it would take a long time to do each one of them and while not all of them are of quality there are some that would be very good so in this way I could take those proposals and dedicate some chapters to them here, obviously I am not going to use the Ifs stories because Reactionist is in charge of that, but will use fanfics that are based on them
Without more to add, you are free to criticize me and tell me what you like, if all goes well the first chapter would come out on Sunday, that's all goodbye
