—2 weeks later—
I was walking through the forest late at night, I had been unable to sleep since about a week ago, Mason had told me some information about what the DoD did with their lover's 2 weeks ago, I could fall asleep since. I was just aimlessly waking when I heard some commotion, it sounded like someone was fighting, so I went to investigate. I ran into a clearing where I say a Sandwing fight Mason and some other dragon, he looked just like Mason except that his colors were inverted.
"Who the fuck are you anyway, I don't remember either of you and I'm pretty sure I'd remember your ugly faces." The Sandwing said after taking a punch and stumbling back.
"I'm Mason Rivera, God of the Multiverse, I believe you've heard of me. And my compatriot over there is-"
"Nosam Arevir, ruler of hell and the person who will be torturing you do there shortly."
"Well I see, but you'll never take me alive!" He yelled as he pulled out two swords and leaped into the air holding them backwards. Just as he was about to land on Mason, he grabbed the Sandwing's arms pulled them closer together so that the swords went through his head as his body kept moving forward but his arms did not.
"That's the idea" Mason said dropping the Sandwing's body. "Well there you go Death you know where to take this one" Mason said to seemingly no one.
"Uh, Mason, What the fuck was that?" I asked.
"Shit, no witnesses!" Nosam said pulling out a metal object and pointing it at me. Mason immediately grabbed it and pointed it at the sky. It made a loud noise that sounded like an explosion many times in quick succession, I covered my ears from how loud it was. It finally stopped after a second or two.
"It's okay Nosam, he's chill, that being said, it appears I have some explaining to do." He said snapping his fingers and teleporting me to a massive room full of small thrones, they were all this brownish color, they were in rows that got higher up with stairs running up along side them. At the bottom there was a stage and behind it, a white sheet covering almost the entire wall. I also wasn't the only one there, The DoD and there lovers, minus Merkat (although he isn't technically Sunny boyfriend yet.) The Jade winglet, Frost, Camel, Queen Luna, Soardtail, Blue, Cricket, Sundew, Willow, Mason and Nosam were all there. Tsunami, Peril, Fatespeaker, and Glory were all noticeably bigger in the stomach area, Peril especially. "Alight everybody, shut up, don't ask questions and take a seat!" Mason yelled, so we all did,
We all sat around the middle, except for Mason and Nosam who went on the stage, The DoD and the Pantalans sat higher than the Jade winglet, me Camel and Frost, everyone sat next to their lovers and near their friends, Winter sat next to Qibli, on the opposite side from where Moon was sitting, I sat by myself to give Camel and Frost some semi alone time as they were sitting together.
Mason and Nosam both got on stage together and Mason began to speak.
"Alright, I need to explain who this guy is." He said pointing to Nosam. "But to that I need to explain my backstory, so enjoy I guess." He said before they both teleported to the top of the room, the lights turned off and the screen went black.
—March 18 2024, (Redacted), U.S.A.—
I fucking hate this class, and non of my friends are here to day! At least it's almost time for lunch. I thought sitting in history. It was a Monday and near the end of the year, so finals were around the corner, not to mention the the teacher was horrible, everyone I knew hated them so you can't say it's just me.
I was just listening to them rant about stupid things that got them in a frizzy when a loud explosion occurred, fallowed by sounds of gunfire and more explosions. I immediately ran out of the room and towards the side entrance of the building, the main entrance was closer but the gunshots were coming from there.
It was completely chaos people were being trampled, explosions were coming from everywhere and the sounds of gunfire was getting louder and so were the screams. I finally made it to the side entrance, it opened up to the field, which had a forest on the far long and short ends of it. It was also covered in creators and dead bodies, all of a sudden a plane flew by the field, dropping more bombs on it killing more people. It didn't look like any plane I knew of, but it looked like something that could exist, which only added to my confusion.
Which out much of a choice I ran across the field, while doing more bombs where dropped, knocking me over and hitting my left arm with shrapnel. When I opened my eyes I saw what looked like a Uzi.
How the fuck did that get there. I thought just has 3 men in military gear rounded the corner of the building, I immediately picked it up and ammo dumped it in their direction. Miraculously I managed to hit them, wounding or killing all of them. Once it was out of ammo I dropped it, got up and started to go towards the forest. Before I could get there I saw Sophia, my crush, lying on the ground. I immediately ran over to her and checked for a pulse.
Please don't be dead, please don't be dead, please! I thought as I checked. I heard her heart beating strongly as I pressed my ear to her chest.
Thank god, she's just unconscious. I thought relieved. Despite the piece of metal in my arm I managed to pick her up, put her around my neck, and run into the woods, and I ran until I couldn't run anymore. The gunshots and explosions were faint by then.
I put her down so I could rest, then adrenaline was starting to wear off and there was no way in hell I would have been able to do what I just did without it. Has I sat down next to a tree the stinging pain of my wound began to start. It was probably the only thing keeping me awake at that point.
After what felt like an eternity, but in reality was probably just a few moments, I heard Sophia start to groan, I immediately rushed to her side, she was starting to wake up.
"Hey, it's me Mason, are you hurt?"
"Uggggg, my head hurts."
"Shit, it could be a concussion or something like that. Can you walk?"
"I think so."
"Good, because we have to go." I said helping her up with my good hand.
"But what about the others! We have to go back for them!"
"We can't we'll just get ourselves killed!"
"But-"
"Listen, Sophia, I want to go back, I do, but we won't be able to, they have planes and guns and training, we have non of that and you have a head injury and I a fuckin' piece of metal in my arm." I said showing her my shrapnel wound. "Not to mention we're out numbered. Going back would be suicidal."
"Fine, I'll go by myself then." She said walking away.
"Wait, no, Sophia, please, I can't risk losing you." I said running in front of her. "Please, you mean to much to me, listen, I know that you want to help them, but the if they aren't already dead then they're not there anymore, but whoever did this probably still is, the best thing we can do to help them is get ourselves help so if we can find any of them we can help them to."
"Fine" she said with a sigh. "Where do we go."
"Well I know how to get to a clinic, but we need to get back to the road and it's going to be a long walk, even then there not going to be much help but they can call someone who could. Where going to half to a big loop around the back of the school and I can lead us from there." I said starting to walk.
Suddenly the ground gave way to a massive sink hole, me and Sophia both fell in. As we were falling I noticed that the floor was covered in water.
"Pencil dive!" I yelled to Sophia, hoping she would understand. I formed my self into as straight line as possible and I crashed into the water's murky depths. I almost immediately swam back towards the surface. I scanned the surface for Sophia.
"Sophia!" I yelled with worry in my voice. After I scanned and didn't see her I dove into the water again and swam to where she would be until I found her struggling to swim upwards. I grabbed her hand with mine and helped her swim up. She immediately clung to my chest and I wrapped around my good arm around her back.
"Thank for saving me, both times." She said quietly.
"Of course, I'd do anything for you." I said causing her look up at me and we slowly lead our heads together before we finally kissed. It was short but sweet. As we pulled apart I saw nothing but love in her eyes.
"I love you." I said without thinking.
"I love you too" she said softly. When she finished a green glow caught my eye, it was coming from inside a small cave near by.
"Over there, we can get to dry land." I said pointing at the cave and we began swimming towards it. When we got there and pulled ourselves up I noticed that the it was coming from a floating emerald.
"As if this day couldn't get any weirder" I mumbled to myself as I walked over and touched it. All of a sudden I was in an infinite black void. "I just had to say something didn't I."
"MASON RIVERA" a booming voice said.
"The fuck, who are you!"
"THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT, I HAVE CHOSEN YOU TO BE MY SUCCESSOR. "
"Weh?"
"THIS JOB HAS BECOME TO MUCH FOR ME, SO I WILL BE PASSING THE MANTLE ON TO YOU. AND WHEN YOU RETURN YOU SHALL HAVE THE POWERS OF THE GODS OF THE MULTIVERSE. BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW, WITH EVERY YIN THERE IS A YANG."
"Wait, what, you're making me a god? Just like that?" I asked before a whooshing sound was made, coming from everywhere, and I was back with Sophia, and the gem was gone. What I was experiencing, it can't be described with words. I was going through every experience everyone in every universe in all of the multiverse had ever or could ever experience, all in a fraction of a second. I knew everything and could do anything. Well I knew almost everything.
"What the where did the gem go? You touch it and it just disappeared!" Sophia exclaimed.
"Soooooo, I kind of became a god because the previous god chose me to be their predecessor."
"You're fuckin' with me. Right?"
"I kind of wish I was."
"I don't believe you." She said skeptical. I proceeded to show off my left arm, which had no shrapnel wound anymore. And I flicked my hand to spawn a dog. I then waved it back and forth to turn the dog into other animals, from a dog to chicken to goat to horse to nothing again.
"Believe me now?" I asked
"Okay I believe you, so your a god know, what can you even do?"
"Quite literally everything, I can do anything and I know everything, well almost."
"What do you mean almost."
"Well I don't know anything about the previous god or anything religious, like I know that Moses, Jesus and Muhammad were all real people but weather what they said and allegedly did actually happened and was true is not something I can testify. For all I know the Egyptians could have been right."
"But there was only one god right, so the Egyptians couldn't have been right."
"Well you see, I'm not just in control of this universe but all of them, so the previous god could have had a different afterlife for each universe."
"Wait, all of the universes, so the multiverse is real. So how big is it." The biggest it possibly can be, every universe you could possibly imagine and even the ones you can't, that includes-"
"Wings of Fire!"
"Exactly! And it's not just one universe it's every possible Wings of fire universe, the same applies to every movie, book, tv show etc. There are so many universes that it doesn't even have a name, the number I mean."
"That's…incredible, we could actually go there and meet everybody."
"Yes! And it would be amazing if you could join me in being a god."
"Wait, you're asking me to be a god?"
"Yeah, if I'm going to take you, you might as well be able to do the same stuff I can. But before you answer, by accepting you will know everything. Every horrible experience, you will know about and experience for yourself. Every pain, tragedy, all of it, you will feel the pain they suffered, emotionally and physically. Do you still want to accept?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Mason, I love you and if we're going to make us work we're going to have to be equals. Plus you're going to need someone to relate to."
"Alright, you'll be aged then." I said placing my hands on her shoulders and giving her every power I had."
"Oh that's a lot, ohhhh, I think I'm going to puke. *gag* *gag* Alright I think I'm good now."
"Yeah it's bad."
"You don't say!"
"Hey I warned you."
"Well, you didn't react that way so I didn't think it would be that bad."
"Okay that's fair but I think we should probably deal with the pool up there" I said pointing to the surface.
"Considering that we don't know who they are or why they're attacking us I assume that they have to do with the previous god." Sophia stated
"I believe so, but that doesn't matter now let's kick some terrorist ass." I said, flying out of the hole, with Sophia close behind, and flew towards the field. I landed Superhero style.
"Looking for someone I said to the soldiers in the field as Sophia landed behind trained their guns on me and started blasting.
—30 minutes of ass kicking later—
(I would just like to say that the fight scene was cut due to time constraints, if you would like to see it please let me know and I will add it as the next chapter.)
"Alright, everyone has been revived and everyone will think that we were there until we mysteriously disappeared before we got on the bus." I said to Sophia as we sat down on the curb of the street across from the school.
"I'm going to miss this place" she began. "This world isn't perfect but it's home."
"I know, but if we reveal ourselves then stupid people will do stupid things and if we change that then it's not really home, is it."
"Yeah, you're right." She said in a defeated sigh.
"Hey we can still visit this place, just not as ourselves. We could even help make this a better place, from the shadows."
"I'd like that"
"Good, now come on there's something I'd like to do."
"And what would that be."
"I'm going to ask my friends to join us."
—Another 30 minutes later—
"I can't believe that all of you decided to join." I said to my friends.
"Well of course we did we're your friends. Plus what's not to like about being a god." Brantley said
"Didn't you throw up after seeing everything." Ryan said
"Yeah, but that was a one time thing, we're never going to see anything thing worse."
"I suppose you're right" I replied. I then looked over at Sophia as the others continued talking.
"Hey you what to ask your friends." I asked. There was a long pause of before she replied.
"No."
"Wait really?"
"Yeah, they have a good life head of them, I'm going to miss the, but I don't want to take that away from them."
"Alright, if you insist." I then raised my voice so everyone could hear. "Alright everyone we have a lot of work to do."
—100 years later—
I was walking with Tomas in a town in France.
"Hey, remember that spot" I said pointing to an alleyway that led off the main road.
"Of course, that's where we ambushed a Tiger. I can still remember the faces of those Germans as they saw their precious tank get it's turret blown 20 feet in the air!"
"I remember that too." A unfamiliar voice said.
"What the- who said that" I demanded.
"I'm Nosam Eravir." Nosam said stepping out of the shadows. He looked exactly like me except for grey skin and red eyes. "And I'm going to end your fucking life." He said pulling out two katanas. Thomas pulled out a blue light saber, while I duel wielded two Colt 1911 pistols. He had an enthusiastic smile on as he leaped at us.
—1,000 years later—
I had a sword to Nosam's throat, we were in a wasteland on some backwater planet in some random universe.
"Alright listen, we have been fighting on and off for 1,000 years now, and for what, because you're my evil clone or some bullshit like that? So I have a deal, you can rule hell, torturing all the souls that go down there according to the rules I've set up."
"Which hell?" He asked skeptically
"All of them. Well all the ones I made anyway."
"And what if I don't like your rules."
"Well I have a couple of people that I have no limits for in each universe. And with how the universe works, that means-"
"A almost unlimited amount of people."
"Bingo."
"So I become ruler of hell and I stop trying to kill you."
"Yep"
"Well then you have a deal." He said sticking out a hand. I put my sword away and grabbed his hand and pulled him up.
"So, when do I start."
"How about now." I said opening a portal to hell. "Have fun."
"Oh trust me, I will." He said, jumping in.
—
The screen went black.
"So yeah after that we just gradually got closer." Mason said "So any questions."
"Yeah, why are they here?" Qibli said "I mean, no offense but I just didn't think Mason was doing stuff with you lot."
"Nope I have, mainly just boring political stuff, there have been a few cute moments but nothing spicy. Unlike some horny Dragons!" He said looking at the DoD and their lovers
Everyone was looking at the and slowly figuring out what was going on.
"Wait. Are you guys pregnant?" Luna asked.
"I'm not but everyone else is! My ships are sailing!" Sunny yelled with excitement.
"Never change Sunny, never change." Mason said with a sigh.
"Wait that means that I'm going to be an uncle!" Turtle said with shock.
"Congratulations you guys." Moon said coming up with everyone else fallowing to do the same.
"How many do you think you'll be having?" Cricket asked.
"Glory and Fate will have one, Tsunami two and Peril will have twenty-two Dragonets. 3 sets of triplets, 4 pairs of twins, and 5 single eggs." Mason said casually. Everyone was absolutely shocked.
"So anyway, any more questions about my backstory." Mason said, trying to change the subject.
"What's the afterlife like?" Winter asked after a brief pause.
"Well you see when you die you're judge by what you did, why, and if you regretted it or not. If you did good things, did them for good reasons or regretted the bad things you did, you're probably going to heaven. If the reverse is true you're probably going to hell, there are different levels of hell, from being a dickhead to sociopathic mass murders. The first level is basically just a rehabilitation center where if you successfully get rehabilitated then you get to go to heaven every level below it increases the level of torture that you receive.
That's how the majority of afterlife works, there are a relative handful of universes that had afterlife's already so I just kept them for example Wings of Power universes, a salute to Nightfall and the squad, I kept everything about the afterlife the same but if I really wanted to I could still change it." Mason answered. "So anymore questions? No?"
"We should probably go then." Clay said, probably to speak with Peril alone about the dragonets.
"Yeah you probably should." Mason said and all of a sudden I was back in my room so I got in bed and attempted to fall back asleep.
