Chapter 3: Devils, angels, keys
"Many years ago," Usa begins as she serves up some lunch to everyone. "I was with my friends when a demon attacked. This demon was only a messenger demon and tried to kill my friends. Fortunately, something came over me and the demon burned from the inside out…"
(Usa's point of view)
I discovered something terrifying. I discovered that I was the first born of Pandora and Hades. I am known as the Angel of Death. Since my power was so great and uncontrollable as a child, four guardians of Gaia, now called Earth, took it upon themselves to give me a human family. The leader, Calandra Star, and the second in command, Yunalesca Song, placed their souls within me. After that, the other guardians died and were reincarnated. Many years go by and my powers were released once again.
Afterwards, I came across my very own creation, Krystal Lee, then learned about how each new creation made public in a none magical reality forms a new reality. My friends and I then learned from Krystal's sister, Laverna Lee, that my father, Hades, was after the keys to each reality.
"Each key is based off of the very person you like," she says. "Considering that you started it with Krystal when she first became a sailor senshi in the Sailor Moon Stars reality."
"So who is my father after now?" I ask her in disbelief.
"He is after someone in a small town," Laverna states. "You're not going to like this but this reality was created by a former Olympic athlete named Magnus Scheving."
"Spooky," my friend, Nyota, says. "What's the name of it?"
"Lazytown," I say. "My father is an asshole. Do you know who the key is to that reality?"
"It could be anyone," Laverna says. "Who is your favorite from that show?"
"I ain't telling you," I say with an angered tone. "I'm going alone. Anyone who follows will get hurt. By me."
And that's how I got here. I told Laverna that in one of my stories, Krystal came across the most unlikely key in a certain reality.

Usa sighs a bit as she plays with the noodles in her bowl. The kids, but Stephanie, looks surprised where as Sportacus is too busy staring at Usa. Stephanie seems concerned about the whole situation and tries not to say anything to Usa that would get her upset. Usa sighs again and continues on.
"Once I find the key to this reality," Usa begins then tries not to get the others scared.
"What will happen?" Stephanie asks in curiosity.
"I have to remove the power linking that person to this reality," Usa's voice trails off. "But if the power has already fused with their soul, then I would be forced to kill the key and absorb their soul into a sword. Oh well. Krystal married a key, not knowing that he was to his reality. Mainly because she fell madly in love with him. I guess it won't work on me. Oh well."
"Who would be the most unlikely person to be the key to this reality?" Trixie asks.
"Anyone," Usa sighs. "You, Ziggy, anyone. Whom ever possess a special power."
"I see," Trixie nods.
"Do you have any candy?" Ziggy interrupts the conversation.
Usa laughs a bit and says, "Sure I do. Do you like taffy?"
"Oh, boy do I ever," Ziggy grins. "It's my all time favorite candy in the world."
"Good," Usa smiles softly as she stands. "I got some in the kitchen." She heads toward the kitchen to get Ziggy some taffy.
"Are you okay, Sportacus?" Stephanie asks with concern.
"Isn't she cool?" Sportacus sighs happily.
"Uh oh," Usa returns with the candy. "I know that look anywhere."
"What's wrong with him?" Trixie wonders.
"According to my computer," Pixel types something into his wrist computer. "His heart rate increased dramatically. Amazing. What could it be?"
"I wonder," Usa lowly says then places her hand on Sportacus's shoulder. "Status."
"It increased again," Pixel states. "Is it you?"
"More than that, Pixel," Stephanie stares.
"It's that damn aura surrounding me," Usa growls lowly.
"What aura?" Stephanie looks up at Usa. Usa gulps loudly in fear.
