Ethan took a Deep breath and steeled himself. He opened the door to see That while there was damage to the room before him. Everything has calmed down. He watched with fascination as the Walls rewound to their previous states. Completely fixed. Scorch marks and craters disappeared or filled in like its nothing and Soon enough the Mansion room was completely fixed.
"What the fuuuuuck?..." Ethan comments as he watched it all happen.
"Ah, You must be that Kid Madko revived yes?" A new voice says. Ethan looks to see it was the man from before. Holding a Snoozing kid in his arms.
"Uh, Yeah. Who are you?" Ethan asks. "The Name is Zex. Short for Zombie Executioner. This is Katherine. Resting after experiencing Sugar crash." He says. Zex himself wore a white T-shirt with baggy pants and Tan Combat boots.
"Cool. Uhm, Am I like hallucinating right now because last thing I saw she was blowing shit up with rockets and miniature Nukes." Ethan asks.
"Nope. This is basically one of many things to happen on a daily Basis in the Manor Mansion. Don't worry, You'll learn to love it soon enough." Zex explains. Ethan just looked at him like he was crazy.
I mean. He ain't wrong.
"Anyways. As soon as I put this girl in her bed, I'll show you around the mansion. Now, Come with me. I'm sure you got questions and I can answer a few." Zex continues. Ethan just dumbly nodded and went with him.
'This is it. I've gone crazy. There is no doubt about it.' He thought to himself.
Zex stopped at a Door to open and place Katherine on her bed and shut it. "Now. Let's get on with the Tour shall we?" He asks.
Ethan just followed unsure of what to do for now.
The two enter a Massive Greenhouse and forest like atmosphere. "First, The Outside facilities you can visit. This here is The Edenic Plant sanctuary. Where we harvest home grown fruits from various universes and also acts as the home to the Wisps." Zex explains. "Wisps?" Ethan asks.
Ethan got his answer in the form of floating Blue Cube like creature with three yellow eyes chirping and floating to Him.
"That right there is a Wisp. More specifically a Blue Cube Wisp. At first they could only create giant blue energy cuboid constructs to nest in. But now we know that the cubes can be weaponized by then by dispensing Shockwaves that take up energy and help them defend themselves." Zex explains while petting the Wisp.
"There are many other species here but the wisps are what mostly populate this specific place." He adds. "Uhm yeah that's great and all but can you help me with this wisp in particular?" Ethan asks.
Zex looks back to see that a Blue wisp was cuddling with Ethan. It wasn't cuboid like the rest and had two angry half Circle eyes and one circle eye in between them. It had three fingers on its noodly arms and had a Torso and legs on it. Its Tail was like a Zig zag line.
Zex Chuckles. "No can do. Wisps like to choose hosts for them to bond with and its a bad idea to separate them as they Bond with a host. for there is high chance of death to all three parties." He explains as they walk through the Forest.
"What do you mean?" Ethan asks. "Wisps can evolve as they bond with Hosts. See Madko made a Perfect hybrid of the The Cyan Laser wisp and the Blue Cube Wisp but it was unable to Bond with Anybody. Until now where it seems to want to bond with you." Zex explains.
"So I'm Stuck with this thing then? Well could go worse. You said they need a Host to bond with. Why is that?" Ethan asks.
"See Wisps are able to fuse with hosts and give them a Wide range of abilities depending on the Wisp. The Blue Laser Cube wisp is what you have. So you would get the ability to shoot lasers, Become a laser to dash at light speeds, Create Blue Energy constructs to use like platforms or weapons, and more abilities as your Wisp Evolves. They evolve and reproduce asexually and bonding with hosts boosts that." Zex explains.
"I see." Ethan comments as he reluctantly pets the Wisp back. Apparently that was enough to evolve it as Cyan lines along its arms and back formed for little soft spikes and spines to grow out of. Ethan was impressed too.
"They're quite amazing huh? But that isn't all. In fact we're now at our next destination. The Babalonic Gardens. Where a Personalized garden that represents you can grow an flourish here." Zex Introduces. Ethan stood before a Massive plot of land with various plants of different shapes and such with one barren set. Zex brought Ethan over and he saw the Barren plot fill up with a Field of Grass and uniquely shaped flowers. "Wow."
(later)
"And that's the Entire Mansion. What do you think?" Zex asks. "This is amazing. But why am I even here?" Ethan asks. "Well..."
They got Interrupted by an explosion and a Man in a trench coat being launched into a Wall with Six floating arms following him.
"Ow." The man says.
"Oh hey Madko. How'd it go?" Zex asks as the man pulls himself out the wall that's already fixing itself.
"Pretty well all things considered." He comments. The Man in question was a Tall man in a White Lab coat. He had one Pair of arms connected to him and six More Arms that are disconnected from him in similar looking sleeves to his coat and ended with a Metal cap.
He wore a Turtleneck sweater under the lab coat with black tight jeans and brown Boots. He had a Thin tail tipped off with a diamond and his hair was made of some black energy that had a Blue afterglow.
"Ah! Ethan! Great to see you up and About. I am Madko Ota Sanchez." Madko introduces himself. He bowed and his Floating arms mimicked his main arms.
"Uhm hi. Why did you even save me?" Ethan asks.
Madko looks up at that. "Zex? Didn't you tell him yet?" he asks. "I was about to actually. Then you crashed into the wall. Again." He says. "Ah. Well no time for Dilly dallying. So The reason I saved you is That I'm Recruiting." Madko explains.
"What?"
(later)
Ethan was thinking long and hard about the offer. Long story Short Madko is reviving and or hiring The recently departed in a mission to document the Multiverse.
He is the first to arrive and he will get to travel to any universe with the Ring that rested on his desk. And if Ethan brings friends or refugees back here. Madko would be happy to house them in the mansion. As it is infinitely expanding and can become any environment farther out.
He looked to his New Friend LaKyubai the Wisp and then to the ring.
He finally comes to a Decision and Grabs the Ring.
And Scene. God this was fun to write.
