I know, I promised that Prison of Elders blues would be the next chapter for my story, but I have a reason for that...THE SMALLEN!
The second I saw them in the trailer for Season of the Splicer, i knew I had to make a chapter dedicated to them, even if they are in Chibi form.
So here is the chapter!
Inside Summer's Mind
Deep within the subconscious of Guardian Summer Rose's mind, the fragment of Chibi Oryx was going through the map directory of her mind.
Her mind wasn't an empty void where anything you want can be materialized on a whim. Nor was it a huge room where everything was all over the place.
Contrary to what others thought, Summer Rose's mind was organized in the general shape of a museum/library. Each wing and room were dedicated to people, places and things that were of great importance to her. Some of which were open, while others were permanently closed. And the fragment that is the Taken King is himself searching for something in particular: the main center to fully control Summer Rose!
"Curse the Traveler!" said Chibi Oryx. "Where is it!" He has been in this mind what in reality was a few weeks, but feel like years. He scanned the directory, carefully.

Searching and searching he did until he found it.
MAIN HUB TO CONTROL SUMMER ROSE
And so Chibi Oryx flew through the food court while also getting a Vanilla-Bean Frappuccino from the coffee stand. He vowed that after taking control of Summer's body and reclaiming his throne, he'll issue a royal proclamation to definitely keep that around.
He approached the door that led to his prize and opened the door. He was greeted to what laid within.
An empty room with a sign that said, "HAHA Got Ya!" and music.
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
"DARKNESS DAMN YOU SUMMER ROSE!"
Smallen Day Care
The day begins with a news broadcast by Chibi Lisa Lavender.
"This is Lisa Lavender reporting with a special report. The treaty and alliance with the newly built Eliksni House of Light between the Four Kingdoms and the Guardians of Earth are now officially in effect! The recently made House has helped stabilized several regions on Remnant that were originally laced with high concentration of Grimm and bandit tribes. With this House stabilizing those regions, it has freed several Guardian Fireteams to focus on threats beyond this planet. The newly formed treaty states that House Light will be recognized as an ally to human and Faunus kind, an exchange of technology, have a seat on Kingdom policies and jobs along with contributing bounties that Huntsman, both licensed and in-training can partake in. What kind of Jobs does this House have in store?"
The answer: babysitting the newest generation of Eliksni, which every able-bodied Huntsman and huntsman in-training are gladly doing. Not just for the payment, which was generous but because of how adorable they look. With their four bright blue eyes, tiny little arms and wrapped in blue robes around their small bodies.
Chibi Ruby and Chibi Ren was teaching a small group of four baby Eliksni, or Smallen as they are now being called on how to make cookies and pancakes. However, they have been more eating and sampling the ingredients than paying any attention. Chibi Blake and Chibi Jaune were reading to another group, Chibi Blake with a book of classic novels, while Chibi Jaune read from a comic book. Chibi Nora and Chibi Yang were exercising with another group of Smallen. Nora creating a makeshift dumbbell from some baby carriers and a large broom and lifting it up and down as two Smallen apiece were currently taking residence in each baby carrier. And Chibi Yang teaching a few on how to punch. However, several of them have climbed onto her head and started teething on her hair.
It took all of her will power not to burst into flames.
Chibi Weiss and Chibi Pyrrha were gushing over the cuteness and making baby sounds over the Smallen.
Chibi Port was giving lecture to a group of Smallen who were listening with rapt attention.
Chibi Glynda Goodwitch took one look at the Smallen and said to anyone within earshot. "I've only had these Smallen for a few short hours. But if anything happens to them, I'm going to kill those responsible."
Even Chibi Zwei did his part letting several of them ride on his back.
In the deep forests of Anima, Chibi Raven Branwen has declared one of the Smallen as the new chief of her tribe.
Deep in the Grimmlands, Chibi Salem herself was in a state of emotions.
"How can all of my plans be foiled...by this cute and adorable thing?" She said lifting up one of the many Smallen that are currently crawling all around her castle.
"You are so adorable! Yes, you are, yes you are!" She said as she cradled the bundle in her arms and walked toward the balcony, surveying the landscape before her, silently promising that this one and the others currently in her castles will be her heirs.
Suddenly Chibi Guardian Morgan Freeman appears from the shadows.
"And so, Man, Exo, Awoken, Faunus and Grimm fell not to the computational conversion of Vex, nor the machines of war of the Cabal, but to the cuteness of the infants of the Eliksni race. The second they took a look into their eyes, they were doomed. For their cuteness could thaw the hearts of even the most heartless of beings."
Don't hate me, I just had to use the Rick Roll meme for this chapter because I know Summer would use that against an enemy.
The following are the next chapters in no particular order:
Prison of Elders Blues
Fallen Conclaive
Farmboy and the Fallen
Emperors New Shadow
Stranger's Conversation
Tales of Salem's Inner Circle
See you next time!
