I do not own Psychonauts nor do I own Raz or any of the other characters who have insofar appeared.
Okay so I just beat the game a few days ago right and I'm sitting around my house with nothing to do when suddenly inspiration hits me like a bullet that just left the barrel of a shotgun. Which means that it inaccurately hit me in multiple places across my body and ripped large holes in said spots. This inspiration led me to fanfiction whereon I searched for Psychonaut fanfictions. I found very few. Very few. I mean seriously there are only like… 12 or something. THIS IS A GREAT GAME PEOPLE! A GREAT EFFING GAME! PLAY IT, BEAT IT, WRITE FANFICTION FOR IT! DO IT NOW!
Regardless… I decided to somewhat rectify this situation by writing a Psychonauts story of my own and so now I present to you; The prelude to Sealed Doorways.
Following the events of that summer Raz and Lily parted to go their separate paths. Lily to returned to the dull, monotonous life of school, and Raz went to further train his psychic abilities and go on exciting Psychonaut missions. The day they left each other's lives they promised that no matter what they would always see each other again at Whispering rock. Promises are always subject to slight changes however and when summer rolled around again Raz could only come for the first day before he was whisked away on another Psychonaut mission. The year after he only came for an hour. And by the time the two of them had reached sixteen years of age neither one came to Whispering Rock anymore. They were too old after all.
The very same year Raz turned sixteen he fought an enemy that he couldn't beat. Rasputin had very few flaws in his character. He was nice, generous, active, earthly… but he was also prideful. And alas it was this flaw that led to what happened. Rasputin's pride refused to let him run from the fight and, in so many words, Raz got his ass handed to him. Just before the enemy was about the kill him however a door unlocked in the young Psychonaut's brain. A door that should have remained shut forever.
The events that followed would reshape an entire nation and destroy the mind of a young boy. Raz went completely insane. He DID defeat his enemy but he also killed Sasha and Milla. The waves of his psychic aura radiated across the entire country and destroyed the landscape. Lakes and rivers dried up. Plants withered and died. Whole cities crumbled.
Raz spent a little over a year in a state of insanity before the door finally closed once more and order restored itself. Somewhat. Raz remembered everything he had done while he was insane so naturally he was not completely normal anymore. In addition he was now the most wanted criminal on the face of the planet.
With no idea of who to turn to he went to the only person he could face. Cruller.
There you have it. My Psychonauts story. I know, I know it's short. The next chapter will be longer I promise.
I hope you all enjoyed it, please review! I like getting reviews!
