Chapter 2: Gear Up

"Guys, whatever you do, don't look at him! He'll take something from you if you do, let me pay the cost!" Sean yells with determination with a hint of fear in his voice, facing Truth.

"It seems you believe me to be that the version of me you humans have created," Truth said calmly in his echo and almost child-like voice. "I assure you that I won't take anything from you."

"Yeah, and I'm Zeus!" Sean yelled, with fury, determination, and fear of what he said could have him losing more than an arm and a leg, or more importantly, Josh and Michelle.

"I assure you Sean Hol-" Truth was about to say. But was interrupted by a fury from Sean.

"DON'T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE! I've taken my mother's maiden name, it's Sean Jewell!" Sean yells, then calms down a bit. Meanwhile, Josh and Michelle had taken Sean's advice grudgingly, worried about their online friend.

"Dude, please be wrong..." were Josh's thoughts.

"Please be okay, Sean..." are Michelle's thoughts about Sean trying to be a sacrifice for both of them.

"Very well, Sean Jewell, but I assure you. I will not take anything from you, I called you here to ask for your help," Truth says almost pleadingly. Sean looks him over suspiciously.

"Okay guys, open your eyes; but don't let your guard down for a second," Sean yells to his friends, not taking an eye off of the seemingly omniscient being before them. "So, tell us, Truth. What is it exactly do you need us to help you with? Donate body parts to your sick collection?" Sean asks almost sarcastic and filled with pure hatred so thick that you would need a chainsaw to cut it.

"Sean! Stop being so cold!" Michelle scolds. Josh silently snickers at that, unnoticed by his two companions in the white void.

"I came to ask you to be, in a lack for a better word, my police force," Truth says a bit awkwardly. Sean raises an eyebrow at this, Josh no different. Michelle just looks a mixture of shock and confusion.

"Uh huh," Josh says.

"What is that supposed to mean?" says Sean.

"What he said," Michelle said pointing at Sean with her thumb.

"Simple, other universes are getting to the point of destruction. I cannot interfere directly. So, I called you three here," Truth says casually.

"Really?" Josh says, "Can you prove this to us?" Truth points his open palm at the seemingly-nonexistent floor. It opens up what looks like a portal, expanding the entire space. It flashes though worlds, with all kinds of catastrophes happening; spanning from natural disasters to evil beings. Truth closes his fist, thus closing the viewing.

"That good enough for you, Josh Wright?" he says with an annoyed tone. He nods absent absentmindedly.

"It was for me, but how do we know you won't double-cross us?" Sean says.

"I'll help, but from what I know; you can't be trusted," Michelle adding her two cents.

Truth sighed, "I can't do anything to prove my words, but I desperately need your help," Truth said solemnly. This lit a spark in the trio, they all been in this almost exact situation, someone not having hardly any proof but their words.

"We can trust him," Sean said surprising everyone; including himself. Josh was looking appalled, Michelle was a mix of shock and joy; however Truth would be beaming if he had eyes. Truth attempted to hug all three of them. Key word: "attempted". He got as close as two feet until Michelle laid down a mini-can of whoopin' on the poor being. He went flying, at least thirty feet. Meanwhile, Josh and Sean were a mixture of scared and impressed.

"A '10' for distance, but a two for landing. Hope she doesn't ever do that to me," Sean was thinking with a small smirk.

Meanwhile, Josh's thoughts were a bit on the darker side. "HOLY CRAP! Note to self: NEVER, under any circumstances, p**s off Michelle."

Sean was the first to break the silence... by clapping. "Phew... That was a great shot Michelle, but aren't we here to help not hurt?" he says with a smirk. Josh couldn't help but chuckle and Michelle giggled and apologized to Truth.

"No need to rush, Truth; but can we get down to business?" Josh asked in a monotone.

"Yes, I believe so, but before I can explain how you'll be getting to you first destination, I need to explain the multiverse." Truth said as he opened up a view. "Think of the multiverse as a web, the first universe, is where most universe are born. A universe is created by a possibility, choice and imagination. As each person makes a choice, it creates a new universe from where the other choice is chosen. When someone thinks of possibility, a universe is created, when someone creates a world from their art, a universe is created. I was created to keep order between them, to make sure they were preserved," Truth said as Michelle, Josh, and Sean looked at what was below them in awe.

"So you want us to be your errand boys?" Josh asked showing a bit of emotion.

"No, I want you to fight to save everything that was, is, or ever will be," Truth said with conviction.

"Josh, stop being a no emotion stick-in-the-mud!" yelled Michelle. He just grunted indifferently, while Michelle tried to get him to open up. Sean just looked at them, then turned to Truth.

"I'm going have to play referee between them huh?" asked Sean. Truth just grinned mischievously. Sean sighed at this, then took on his serious demeanor and faced the two bickering ones. "STOP FIGHTING, NOW!" he yelled with great force. They stop bickering and gave him their full attention like he was a drill-sargent, well Michelle did. Jish just shot a dirty look at him.

"Thank you, Sean. Now if you'll be going to other universes you'll need to be prepared. I think these weapons will be proficient with a bit of irony as they fit," Truth said with a chuckle. Three keyblades appeared in front of each of them. Sean's was gold and silver with a black and purple hilt. Josh's was pure black, with a hint of white, and a jewel on the hilt that shines with all colors imaginable and beyond that. Michelle's was black but had diamonds that shined and twinkled like stars in the void of space. "Sean's keyblade is called 'Savior's Eclipse', Joshua's is 'Changing Destiny', Michelle's is known as 'Heaven's Supernova'," Truth said.

Josh inwardly groaned, "Irony's a b***h."

"Each is a part of you, and no one but yourself can touch them without consequences," Truth continued.

"What kind of consequences?" Michelle naively.

Sean pulled her to him and whispered, "Chances are, we don't want to know." She nodded, a bit scared. Each of them took their respective blades and a holster is on their backs.

"Before we continue, does anyone want to dual wield?" Truth asked. Sean raised his hand. He got a duplicate of the blade and put it his back so his blades look like an "X" on his back. "Anyone else? Okay then. You'll also have communicators on your wrist. An unlimited supply of food and water so you can get your fill. As well as specialized gear for your roles." They were about to ask when Truth started to explain. "Sean is your team's scout, assassin,light combat, and long-range expert. Josh your the heavy combat and demolition and destruction close range expert. Michelle is a mid-range, mid combat, and a medic. Any questions? Good. You'll be heading to a world you all are fairly familiar with," he said before they were ingulfed by the hand tenticles and screams of terror from them.

"Good luck," Truth said with a grin. When they were gone, he yelled, "I just LOVE doing that!"

SP777: I'm sorry that I scared you guys, Star didn't quit!
