Nexus Fracture (Story)

Etheria -

It was a cloudy day, I live on an island, it isn’t a big one or anything but it produces a lot of memories, mainly because of the weird stuff that happens, sometimes the island is a calm place but occasionally we have a bit of violence, which to be honest is quite fun, because nobody actually gets harmed, somehow. Whoever supplies our island with the weapons really doesn’t want safety here because they do a god awful job of hiding them. Today though, today I should’ve just stayed inside, because the one day I step out, the chaos begins. I have my morning walk, as normal, past the haunted castle, through the chilly snowy area housing a strange chair structure, and straight past the weird mushroom biome, housing some oddly futuristic structures. I get back home when I notice the cracks in the ground getting larger, a few years back there was an incident with a few kids and a blob looking guy, quite odd but the fact that its doing something again kinda cancels out the strangeness of it just being there in the first place. It seems the other residents are crowding around, and I don’t blame them, because this stuff only happens once in a while. Suddenly, some shockwaves come out and some people fly out, but the sand cushions their landing a bit, and then it opens, revealing an orb, is that it? No, because it flies up and releases energy teleporting a Shrine near the castle, an ancient alter near the mushroom area and a factory that crushed a bus producer completely. I look down at the orb and I see something rising, something is coming up, but as I tried to get away, a giant chunk of a different world crash down, and land near the castle, the entire place was red and had walls around it, with high tech weaponry and satellites peeking from above it, and it seems there was a door, but as I was coming closer to inspect it, it started to open, and out came… the heroes from years ago! They must have come back to deal with this problem, but as I came over to try and greet them they pointed their weapons at me, they believed I was this ‘Reality Forger’ person who was terrorising their world, but you know, I can’t control anything, never mind reforge it. I tell them to come with me and reluctantly, they did, and the shock on their face when they saw the orb was unreal, they start telling me about these weird aliens and people called ‘The Divergence’ and how if we don’t hide the orb, they will destroy the island, so we get to work on trying to hide it, but nothing seems to work, because on the third day of trying to make the defences, an alien ship arrives in the horizon, and I start to question my trust with the heroes, but you know, they did save my island a while back so it’s not like they are evil or anything. They tell me about this world filled with mystical people, like a cyborg guy, a dude who can control time and space and their leader, a humanoid frog? When the ship landed a few weeks later, we hoped that they couldn’t find the orb in time, but unlucky for us, they had a backup plan, they lifted some rocks with a levitation ability and went into this underground lab, which I didn’t even know existed, which housed the orb, I overheard them talking about stuff like ‘Go grab the shards’ and ‘The Nexus power will be ours’ and stuff, and I start to wonder if this is the Reality Forger they were on about a while back, but I have no time to think, because they grab my hand and pull me into the orb.

Deepspace -

They start to explain, when we were teleported, we managed to land on this pizza place named Ez-Pz Pizza, which was pretty cool, because that meant free pizza, right? They sat me down at a table and we explained this over a meal, it turns out the Divergence are after power and want to take down their enemies, the Convergence, and form a new world, filled with destruction and agony. I was chilling out in the manager’s office and we suddenly hit hyperspeed, we were almost to our destination, I decided to take some of the pizza because who knows where we might end up, and as I got to the doors, we had crashed into a desert.

The KWTC -

Right outside was a little hut, belonging to the leader of this little group, a man named ‘Pufflet’. We had our greetings and he was actually pretty nice, so I gave him a pizza and a ‘Welcoming Gift’ which he gladly accepted. And I was told to ‘Look Around my New Home’, I went out and checked all the cool sights, a military base, a floating town, a giant building that is floating in the sea, and even another version of the orb I had seen back in Etheria, my old island. It seems the Divergence have a strong presence here aswell, as a strange red liquid is slowly spreading around the islands, but it doesn’t seem to be a threat right now so it isn’t all that bad, right? I head over to that building and meet the leader, the humanoid frog from before, whose name is Kermit, and the cyborg, named Bot Omega, I get to do some more exploration and sight see in other places, including a place high up above called the End and a place way below called the Nether, but when I left that place it was getting dark, so I was invited to the main building, called the KWTC, and slept there, with robots named TFB Droids guarding me. This place is great. When I wake up, I was treat to a great meal cooked by the Pufflet guy, and I was allowed to investigate suspicious activity around some caves and I found some strange items, like scraps of droids, a burnt tree with roots going everywhere and the worst of all, a skeleton of an alien, when I notified them about it, they told me it was the bones of an alien called Altrax, and he was defeated a while back, which exposed the Nexus, the orb on the surface. Whilst I was gathering materials for them, I noticed a ship in the horizon, and it was the Divergence ship from earlier! I ran back to them and told them that something bad was going to happen and that the Divergence were coming, Pufflet pressed a button on his device he has on his arm and he suited up into a Red Robotic Suit and the others geared up. The ship crashed down later that day and it was time for war, we managed to take the Corrupt Queen down, the 2nd member of the Divergence, and The Destroyer was knocked into water, burning him up. It was us and them, the Reality Forger, they summoned a beam of light and it turns out to be going after me, so Pufflet gave me a backup suit and I tried to fly away from it but it was no use. I came up with a plan just seconds later, fly it into the Nexus and let it hit me, and so I started flying through the grassy plains, and through the treacherous waters, before flying in and letting it hit me, the blast was huge and it almost destroyed The Nexus, but when doing so it sucked the entire battlefield into Deepspace and into Etheria once again

Etheria -
I flew out and hit the ground right in front of a fight, they all pointed their weapons at me but before I could warn them, the battlefield was warped right into Etheria and completely wiped out part of the military base that the heroes emerged from, The Reality Forger is angry by the fact that I am still alive, and tried to use a sword to take me out, but Pufflet catches it before it hits me. The Nexus rumbles and out comes a tendril, which gives me some sort of invincibility, which doesn’t seem permanent, so I use it to charge towards the Reality Forger, who releases a mix between corruption and the red ooze from earlier, which engulfs me entirely, but the power makes me able to break out of it! I then use the suit’s laser blast to weaken the Reality Forger before using a shrink ray to capture them, and throw them into the Nexus. The world has been saved, both of them!

The KWTC -
It has been a month since the incidents, and peace has been restored between worlds, I have been given a home in the world to live in and I’ve been hired by the KWTC Government as a Security Chief for the Nexus. But some days, I look inside and see pure darkness, but I shrug it off as a coincidence. We might have won that day, but our world, our Nexus, our hope has been fractured.

It is here!
