Author's Notes

This first episode will be posted on saturday

Hey everyone. Welcome to the first chapter of "The adventures of Marco Diaz and the Warriors of the Scissors". This will be a prologue dealing with the situation that Heckapoo drags our boy into. However, before I start, I wanted to clarify my update schedule. So I also will be working on another story alongside this one. DxD, Issei The Unchained. A highschool DxD fan story. However, I know for a fact that working on two stories at once is a bad idea and I am a recent highschool graduate who is going to start working again on Monday and will be going to trade school later this year which, when combined with the fact that I will be working on a youtube channel soon as well, means I will simply be a bit too busy for these stories on top of that every week. So the schedule after this upload will be the following:

DxD, Issei, The Unchained: Next week: Wednesday

The adventures of Marco Diaz and the Warriors of the Scissors: The week after next: Saturday

Next DxD installment: The week after that: Saturday

Next installment of Warriors of the Scissors: Week after that: Wednesday

The story updates will be bi-weekly with DxD one week and this one the next, and both will alternate between my off days. If I go on vacation, need a break for whatever reason, go on hiatus, or have to cancel the story, then it will be announced. Ok. Now that, that's out of the way, on with the story

Note: The schedule may fluctuate.

Prologue: The Rusted

3rd Person P.O.V

We start off our story in a home in the middle of nowhere. The home looks like some sort of two story cabin. However, in truth it is one of the many homes of Heckapoo, The forger of all dimensional scissors, the enforcer of said scissors, and member of the Magic High Council. She is a powerful, respected, wise and elderly magical being… " And then when she looked under her chair, there was a MASSIVE insect just waiting to spit in her eye. Once that happened, all hell broke loose. S-she… She started screaming at the top of her lungs " KILL IIIITTTT…KILL THAT FUCKING BUG" HAHA… ah… she was blasting magic all over the place and started beating THE SHIT out of Rhombulus and it was just a massive fiasco. I swear, when Moon is mad and scared, she is just like her daughter HAHA '' However that doesn't stop her from talking the meanest shit about her fellow council members, especially with her best ( and one of her only ) friends, Macro Diaz. The two were sitting at the diner-like bar that was in this house after she had invited the ( Physically ) Young, human, male to this home in a peaceful dimension for a LONG overdue hang out. A hang out that became even more overdue when she unfortunately missed his 17th birthday two weeks ago. They had been drinking and having fun all day. Once the two stop laughing, Marco just begins to look out the window, a small, peaceful, smile on his face. " Thanks for hanging out with me H-poo, I needed this. Everything's been kinda boring lately aside from my birthday. After getting my black belt, my license, and catching up school wise, it's been basic and I can't really do basic anymore lifewise". Heckapoo smiles at him" Of course mars, it's no problem" Marco turns to her, confused and slightly worried. " Mars? Where did you get that from?" " Oh, just your mom." She says with a grin that promises trouble and mischief. " My mom? Oh, oh no she didn't!" "Oh yes she did Mr. " God of war ". I decided to pop in randomly cus I was bored and I met your parents, and your mom was so quick in telling stories about your childhood… like what happened when you found out what your name ment"."Uh…". So basically, Marco was told that his name ment Mars, after the roman god of war, when he was a kid so he ran around for over a month shouting " I AM THE GOD OF WAR" like kratos over and over. " Anyway, what did you mean by basic life? Doesn't Moon's daughter, Star, Live with you?" Heckapoo looks at "Mars" in confusion. " Well yeah, but… well, you know how Star and I broke up? Well the break up was kinda messy afterwards, but while I was trying to get over everything, Star got back together with her ex, Tom". Heckapoo turned to Marco with anger visible in her eyes " What? She just immediately jumped ship?" " Oh, no, she still took her time, she just needed less time than me. It was after she got back with Tom that things got messy. I wanted to wait for everything to calm down before going to Star and telling her that, as a friend, I don't think getting back with Tom is a good idea. Unfortunately, 6 fucking months wasn't enough and she blew up at me. When the break up happened, Star was afraid that it would end our friendship and while it didn't, what happened afterwards almost did. She hasn't spoken with me since. She doesn't usually hold grudges like this, but the break up probably influenced it. However, I haven't let it stop me and I've actually become far more productive since, especially when she left at the beginning of the year to stay in Mewni for a bit. I feel bad for saying so, but I think that the split actually helped me at least. I mean you can only live with someone for so long before something like this happens especially since we were in a relationship". Marco vented to Heckapoo. " Damn, Well think about it this way. Moon's daughter is a princess, a warrior one, but a princess nonetheless. She grew up spoiled and with everything handed to her or handled for her and she is hyper, unruly and uncontrollable already. Finally, she's a woman. Take it from a girl who is as old as your entire planet, women have attitudes, hold long grudges when pissed off, are basically bipolar in nature, and are hyper jealous beings. Combine this with the terrible traits that I already listed for Moon's brat and her warrior traits and you have a nightmare." Heckapoo was knowledgeable on women, and knew the best and worst traits that they most commonly have seeing as she's as old as dirt one, so she feels that telling her baby brother figure about them would help him. " Also, it is made even worse when you consider the fact that she hasn't grown up as fast as she should have due to being a princess, while you grew up faster than you should have thanks to my scissor trial. Anyway, let's move away from boring depressing shit and show me your bday gifts. " H-poo now stares at Marco with a glint in her eyes. Marco chuckles " Sure, first let's start off with this footnote gift from a lame-o pale chick with red hair who I don't know. Uhh.. Ah here they are, two sets of anal beads colored gold and black and designed like yin-yang symbols and a ring with another anal bead on it. Terrible gift" H-poo was laughing during Marco's whole fake hate towards her gift. " Seriously though, thank you, these are amazing and as you will see, they match up with a few of my other gifts, though I will ask, is there anything magic about these? I'm getting some sort of feeling from them." The forger stares at her friend in surprise for his accurate guess." Huh, that was unexpected. It seems that your constant exposure to magic has given you a sense for it. That's very impressive as beings who weren't born with magic, usually don't develop magic traits. Anyway yeah, those prayer beads and the ring are made to improve your mystical defense, and physical capabilities. You're already super human, but those beads and ring will make you even more so. NEXT "" Next is the only gift that I can't completely show you" She looks at "Mars" in confusion before her eyes widen slightly as Marco pulls out some keys from his pocket. " Oh shit, it wasn't?" " It was. Not just a car…" "Mars" then shows the picture of his Red Chevrolet corvette convertible sports car with white stripes. " … But the corvette I wanted. I have no idea how my parents got it, but I love it. I would have asked for a motorbike, but I could never replace Nachos." Marco says as he scratches behind the ear of the aforementioned dragon-cycle creature at his feet sleeping. " Next is this." Marco pulls out a present that looks re wrapped. " Please take it and verify that it isn't actually magic, because I sense something heavy from it." Marco's scared face makes Heckapoo take the object from him near instantly. She immediately sensed it's evil magical power and opened the wrapping to show… " Is this the FUCKING NECRONOMICAN. Who the fuck gave you this?" " So it IS REAL? Of course Janna's creepy ass ends up finding the REAL Book of the Dead while looking for a gift to scare me. Last time I try to deal with her without Star. Anyway, dispose of it please." Heckapoo was a step ahead, tossing the book into a dimension with an infinite ocean to sink for eternity. " Next is a katana that my friends Alfonzo and Ferguson got me. It was made personally by J.D Alcot, the voice actor who played our childhood hero, Jackdaw ( If you know what this name is a reference from, I salute you) , in our favorite anime, Orikami. He went on to make authentic katana's based on the show and I always wanted his, so the guys saved up to get one made for me. If you could do me a favor and enhance the sword with the forge?" Marco asked. The blade's sheath is black with golden designs on it like a tattoo. The blade itself is iron black with the hilt, and the guard is golden fur. The sword itself is also far too large to be a Katana, resembling more of a cleaver or something like that ( Think the soul splitter from JJK with the inverted spears hilt). H-poo looks at it, obviously impressed before nodding and taking the blade to be strengthened for proper combat and so it doesn't break. " Finally, this is an armored combat gi made by my sensei and his girlfriend." An armored gi with the same black and gold color that the other items IRONICALLY ( Apologies, I wanted to give Marco a theme ) had. " Wait, your master and his WHAT?" " Yeah, he got a girlfriend. She's named Asia and she's a fashion designer who owns a small business in town. Anyway, after the monster hand thing, my master gave me this because he knows that I get into some "weird magic stuff " and wanted me to be safe. Anyway, you probably know what I want you to do with this." " Right, reinforcement, gotcha. And this will also help with the other thing that I wanted to talk with you about. " Before he could ask, Heckapoo went to the forge world to reinforce and enhance his items while he stayed behind. Marco didn't like the forge world because of his transformation to his adult form. It was explained to him by Heckapoo. Since he's near adulthood, the transformation into an adult will feel completely different. Before it felt very pleasant. Now it feels like a hormone hurricane with an uncomfortable physical transformation on top. She then returns and after getting there " Chat Snacks " H-poo begins. " So, unfortunately, my reasons for your presence aren't all sunshine and rainbows, kid. As you know, there are forces of magic and power far older and far more powerful than I have ever been, though, they don't matter specifically. What matters is that there have been people who were like you. They had dimensional scissors and abused them. But unlike you, they abused them for corrupt reasons. So they used these old powers to damage my link to the scissors. The reason why everyone's scissors look different is because they all have special magical signals that I can direct and sense, which happens because the scissors are also linked to you. They can't be completely severed, but the damaging of the link destroys this signal, causing them to all have this same dirty metallic look. This color has caused me to call them the rusted. Even with my clones, speed, and my own scissors, it's near impossible to lock any of them down. That is why I called you here. To basically hire you as my personal bounty hunter for the rusted. I have a magic mirror that I can put their signals into, then it will act like a radar for you to track them, and unlike me you don't have a multiverse spanning rep that makes it impossible to go unnoticed and undetected. " Marco takes this all in. The chaos that evil beings with those scissors could bring is frightening to think about. This makes Marcos urge to save people and help his friend call out to him. With no hesitation, he says " Who's my first target?"...

Hello everyone. Sorry to leave it off with a cliffhanger, but my work schedule has changed, so now I will most likely have weekends off. This has inspired me to try and work on a chapter for each book once a week. This one on saturday, and the DXD one on sunday. Do not disregard the note at the top though. As said at the end of it, the schedule will fluctuate. Also, I noticed that as I got closer to the chapters end, my writing got rushed, which most likely means I'm ready to end it so I just stopped at a point I liked. Finally, this will not be the last prologue. Infact, I wanted to make both prologues one chapter, but decided against it. Just too much at once, plus there's gonna be a major tone change. Still, I hope you all enjoyed this first installment. If your a fan of highschool DXD or are just interested in my work, check out DxD, Issei The Unchained, which will have its first installment either tonight, tomorrow, or next weekend depending on how fast I get it written. I will see y'all. Peace.
