| BOOM! Then, the Hyper Zone seemingly fell into pieces! Looks like the Warpstar Knights seemingly won... ... But then, there was a bright flash of light and two more Dark Comets appeared behind where the Rainbow Palace stood... as well as the Hyper Zone, completely intact! ... Dark Matter commander: "Brillant tactic, my Queen! Only sending two of our Dark Comets and a replica of the Hyper Zone at a time, keeping the other half of our troops for when the Eclipse Cannon would be fired! Now we can finish off the remaining Warpstar Knights! *SNIFF!*" 02: "Is there something wrong?" Dark Matter commander: "Oh? No... n... no... nothing..." 02: "You're lying. You are crying, I can sense your sorrow, you know." Dark Matter commander: "Sorry... this is so stupid... my sister was disguised as you and was on the Hyper Zone duplicate..." 02: "I'm not interested with the details. Deploy all of our ships and slaughter the escaping Warpstar Knights! Let none of them leave alive! They must not be given the time to regroup!" Dark Matter commander: "YES SIR!" The monitor shut down... ... Dark MetaKnight: "Interesting... too bad you're going to die however." Two creatures of darkness had escaped the wrath of the Eclipse Cannon... Nightmare and Dark MetaKnight. The first was behind the later... and the later was sticking out Black Hole, touching KirbyATW's flesh. Dark MetaKnight: "You can never move fast enough to strike us before I kill you... and anyway, you know that the Rainbow Rod was weakened. There's no way you can oppose Black Hole which, unlike the Rainbow Rod, was not drained of it's power." Nightmare laughed. Nightmare: "Heh! Anyway... how will you fare against the Darkness without an army? Watch!" Soon enough, the troops that had been waiting in the real Hyper Zone began to deploy, forming a perimeter the area... Dark MetaKnight: "Rule #1 when fighting an enemy who has a secret weapon such as the Eclipse Cannon: always, ALWAYS fool the enemy into thinking you're making a frontal assault." Soon enough, sounds could be heard... the sounds of warpstars being destroyed by Dark Matter weaponry. Dark MetaKnight: "You have lost. The fleeing Warpstar Knights are getting slaughtered as we... well, as I speak. Your Eclipse Cannon struck a duplicate, a fake created by the queen... and your mechanical friend may be very well the only one who got away in one piece." Nightmare: "Hey! The queen always said it! Darkness prevail! Finally! All Light has vanished and Darkness will reign supreme! Time for some peace!" Dark MetaKnight: "Not exactely... yet. Only a fairy can undo the seal on the holiest of all holy weapons, Crystal Sword... but legends says that the wielder of the Rainbow Rod can, as well. We must eliminate him, now!" Nightmare: "Bah! I'd rather use him in an experiment!" Dark MetaKnight turned to Nightmare, angry! Dark MetaKnight: "NOT NOW!" If KirbyATW wanted to escape... it was now his opportunity. Furthermore, the escaping Warpstar Knights won't last long without his help. Altought he may be able to slip trought the hordes of Dark Matters orbiting the Rainbow Palace's remains, his Warpstar Knights, them, are getting some serious punishment! In fact... it would be safe to say that they're falling like flies. As for Rhino... well, Dark MetaKnight didn't lied; he's the only one who is really safe right now. |

| Had ATW wanted to do something right now, he would. However, being knocked out certainly didnt help the near death situation he was in right now. Hope was not lost however. A solitary yellow star appeared from the blackness of space, and streamed towards the only three beings out there. Metaknight: The loss, inevitable it may have been, but that does not mean we have given up just yet. Metaknight sped towards the three survivors, the bickering providing him a perfect rescue and escape maneuver Nightmare: Hey! The queen always said it! Darkness prevail! Finally! All Light has vanished and Darkness will reign supreme! Time for some peace! Metaknight came ever closer, silently, adrenaline pumping through his blue body. Dark MetaKnight: Not exactly... yet. Only a fairy can undo the seal on the holiest of all holy weapons, Crystal Sword... but legends says that the wielder of the Rainbow Rod can, as well. We must eliminate him, now! Metaknight unsheathed the Nebula and gripped it tightly. His Warpstar reached "warp speeds" as ATWs life lay on the line. Nightmare: Bah! I'd rather use him in an experiment! Dark MetaKnight turned to Nightmare, angry! Dark MetaKnight: NOT NOW! If there was one mistake that Dark Metaknight had made, it was choosing to argue, and take his senses down with it, giving Metaknight the perfect oppertunity for a sneak attack. If you blinked, you probably would have missed what happened in the next five seconds. Metaknight rammed the Nebula full speed into the mask of Dark Metaknight, cracking it in half, and sending him stunned back through the darkness of space towards Hyperzone. A blade beam towards nightmare a second later, and he was off following DMK. Not two seconds later, Metaknight had grabbed a hold of ATWs hand, put him in front of him on his Warpstar, and zipped off before DMK could even regain his senses, or 02 to get a lock on him. The two disappeared into the distant stars with a yellow flash of light. Back near Hyper Zone, DMK regained his senses DMK: The queen will not be pleased with you. I suggest you think of a way to redeem yourself before you find yourself even worse off than Shine and Bright. Back with Metaknight, ATW was still out cold, and not letting go of either the Rainbow Rod, or the Rainbow Shard. Metaknight focused on getting as far away from 02 as possible, internally greiving for the losses suffered today MK: It pains me to leave them, but there is nothing I could have done. My only hope is that some escaped. Metaknight soon approached a dark green planet in the middle of space. No moons orbited the globe, and as Metaknight got closer, it could be seen that the entire surface was covered in thick foliage. This was the little known Jungle Planet, Florian. Metaknight landed in a small open clearing, and hopped off of his Warpstar. He began clearing away some of the bushes, while ATW drifted in and out of consciousness. Many hours later, he finally opened his eyes to see many familiar faces. He tried to sit up, but Metaknight pushed him down on the makeshift warpstar bed MK: No... youre still in no condition to move. ATW weakly smiled ATW: So it worked? ATW looked around to see a star shaped bus with a blown engine in the trees beside him, and Rhino, PJ, Ricky, Charlie, Spike, and many other people smiling now that ATW was awake. Metaknight lowered his head MK: Not exactly as we planned. But what is done... ATW: ...is done. ATW raised the Rainbow Rod and looked at it. The glowing was gone, but a new force had taken its place. A tugging feeling... Hope ATW: It figures. A minor loss... At this, Ricky piped up Ricky: MINOR ATW, MINOR?... You call losing the one safe haven in the galaxy MINOR? Did you hit yo' head too hard or somethin, because that logic is just whacked! As Ricky continued to rant, nobody listened. Charlie attempted to calm him down, but wasnt doing a very good job. PJ stepped up to ATW and asked the question. PJ: Can you really call this minor man? ATW nodded slightly ATW: I can... ATW sighed ATW: I suppose I need to give everyone an explanation... Everyone stopped looking at eachother for answers and looked at ATW ATW: Im not saying Im proud of what I did. Im not saying that I wanted to do it. But it was going to happen, whether we liked it or not. Many MANY years ago, I recieved a prophecy from one of the most brilliant minds in the galaxy. So brilliant, she could see into the future. Everything she predicted, came true. She told me that in order for order to be restored, the ultimate price would be payed. Flashback. ATW walked the streets of popstar, dressed as a simple, humble dreamlander to hide his identity. It had only been 50 years after the original war in which he had gotten the Rainbow Rod, and popularity was not what he wanted. As he walked the streets, he found his way into a dark corner of the town, where a shoddy store caught his eye. It was entitled "Mystic Eye". ATW ventured inside, and a purple clad figure sat in front of a crystal ball on a blue clothed table. A misty voice came from the figure. ???: Ive been expecting you Alexander... sit down. ATW was shocked that the person knew his true name name, but he sat down anyways. ATW: You knew I was going to be here? ???: I also know what is going to happen, a long time from now. ATW: Youre saying that you can see the future? ???: If you want to call it that, then yes. ATW: And why should I listen to you? ???: Because you need to know what will happen. ATW scratched his head. ATW: Is it bad? ???: Bad is simply a term. A label. The balance of light and dark will be thrown out of balance many years from now, and the ultimate sacrifice will be made to return Light to power. ATW: Ultimate price? ???: The symbol of power will be lost. Lost and regained. Heed my warning, and be ready for when the day comes. ATW stood up, and went for the door, but paused for a minute. ATW: Anything else I should know? ???: Yes, you may want to skip the nachos next thursday. ATW grinned and walked out the door, the memory of bad things to come being mentally filed away. He walked out of the shop and turned around to be facing a brick wall. ATW scratched his head and continued on his way. End flashback ATW: So you see, she foretold that this would happen. The symbol of power was the Rainbow palace. Spike: Yeah. But she said that the rainbow palace would be regained. Doesnt that count for something? ATW shrugged ATW: Im not to say for now. But, if youll excuse me... I need to take a nap before I pass out again. ATW fell back on the warpstar, which fell in air a little before going back up to hovering height. Metaknight ordered everyone else asleep and stood guard for the night as the sky turned a blood red for dusk. |

| Dark MetaKnight was sitting on his bed, staring at his feet... he couldn't believe it... he couldn't believe how he could do such a mistake... only beginners do such mistakes and he... well, he has no excuse for doing such a mistake... Altought Dark MetaKnight's room was rather large, it still felt... empty... yes, it was the right word, empty. There were very few furnitures... a somewhat large desk for working (but no computers or monitors), an ordinary chair next to it, a somewhat small drawer containing his clothes and equipment, a gold mirror (the only furniture that reflected the knight's rank), and a bed. The bed stood out among the other furnitures becease of it's size. It was large... very, VERY large. It was taking about half of the room just by itself... Having such a huge bed for such a small person as Dark MetaKnight could seem unlogical at first... but the winged figure standing at the door, staring at Dark MetaKnight, knew otherwise... (figure): "Please Mety... look at me..." Dark MetaKnight didn't raised his eyes... (figure): "You are not responsible for what happened back there." Dark MetaKnight: "I was the one that placed half our troops on the duplicate. I tought the duplicate could take a direct hit... I was overconfident. I have the death of so many weighing on me... I failed the Dark Matters! I failed you! I failed as a Dark Knight!" The hidden figure approached Dark MetaKnight... In the darkness of the room, no details could be seen... well, not too many. The figure was humanoid and about Dark MetaKnight's size... The figure had long hair and medium-small, delicate wings... the figure was a female... and altought not many details were visible, it was obvious that she wasn't wearing anything at all and that she had beautiful, harmonious curves... but what truly stood out was the eyes... They glowed with a faint, blood-red glow... but this glow was far surpassed by the stars in them... (figure): "We couldn't know what would happen... all we know is that what happened, happened. Let us put the past behind us and look foward to the future. From the sacrifices of those who died today, people in the future will be able to live in a world free of the tyranny of Light..." Dark MetaKnight didn't moved... (figure): "Mety... I know that you hear me and altought you may not react, I know you understand my words... Please... look at me... Dramety." Dark MetaKnight raised his head and stared deep into the eyes of the one he loved. Dramety... it was his true name... the name he had chosen after he had sweared never to be a copy ever again, to become a being of his own... and few were those who knew of his true name for he reserve it only for those he truly trusted, for those he trusted enough to let them see what lies behind his mask... Dark MetaKnight: "I'm afraid of the future... I'm afraid that the terrible prophecy may be true... but... you are right. It is meaningless to refuse the future becease of the past... Let the Darkness wash away our worries and carry us trought the night... let the Darkness draw us away from the illusions of fake hope, the dreams... and drift us into a dreamless awake sleep during which we shall be truly ourselves..." The shadow smiled and then, Dark MetaKnight removed the last armor piece, his mask. His blue eyes glowed with the same stars as the red ones... and then, the automatic systems of the room activated and the door closed itself. The two lovers kissed for what seemed to be a long time and then... (figure): "I wonder if they will notice that I will be wearing the same dress than yesterday..." Dark MetaKnight: "Bah! It won't be the first time!... and just like always, nobody will think anything of it." (figure): "Someone will." Dark MetaKnight: "Really? Who?" (figure): "Me." =SYSTEM ERROR============================================== ACMLM BOARD'S DISPLAY SETTING HAS CRASHED BECEASE OF AN UNKNOW ERROR. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.

| As Metaknight stood guard for the night, memories began flashing through his head. Memories of his childhood, how he came upon ATW, and the things he told him. -Memory- The day was clear, not a cloud in the sky, and a little darkblue ball ran through a field of grass, smiling joyfully, chasing a yellow butterfly. Not far away, another larger blue ball and a pink fairy stood watching, smiling as well. Metaknight as a child, unaware of what would happen to him in the distant future. -End memory- Metaknight sighed as more memories flooded in -Memory- Fire was blazing all about a blue ball, slightly larger than before. A shadowy figure could be seen through the blazes, and maniacal laughter filled the air. The blue ball hid behind a large pile of rubble as the figure walked passed his hiding spot, dragging a blood drenched sword through the ground. Metaknight waited until the figure had left until running to the source, his father. Next to him lay a golden sword, a mask, and a warpstar, the mask being just a little big for his face, but still stayed in place when worn. Metaknight picked up the sword, put on the mask, and hopped on the warpstar, not caring where it would take him. -End memory- A single tear slid from beneath the mask and splashed on the ground, dampening the soil beneath him. Metaknight drove his sword blade into the ground a little farther as more memories resurfaced -Memory- Metaknight was walking through the streets of a small village, getting food for his new family. He had crash landed on this planet known only as Fyist a few weeks ago, and a passing family took him in. Metaknight was to come of age in a few days, but his new parents didnt know that. Metaknight hadnt gotten very attached, his inner torment still raging. As he walked down the street to the fruit stand, he saw a large, pink dreamlander wearing a white robe buying fruit, and seemingly stowing in endless pockets. This dreamlander happened to bump into Metaknight when he turned around, but he didnt seem that suprised. In fact, he smiled. ???: Metaknight Randar VI, about time I found you! Metaknight backed away at this, confused that this person knew his name. The figure merely chuckled. ???: Its alright, I wont hurt you... in fact, Im here to help. Metaknight: Help me how? ???: Ive been keeping an eye on you since your parents were killed... Im sorry I couldnt get there in time to help, but there was a nasty outbreak of freak turtles trying to take over a land of mushrooms in another galaxy and well, youll understand soon enough. The figure smiled as Metaknight raised an eyebrow, his blue eyes sparkeling with mild interest, and confusion ???: I suppose an introduction is in order. Ever heard the bedtime story of ATW? Metaknight nodded MK: I thought that was only a story though. Something like that cant really happen, can it? ???: Anything in particular you remember about ATW? MK nodded again, and pointed to his forehead MK: Yeah, the Star shaped... The figure removed his robe hood to reveal the classic star shaped insignia ATW: Its not myth, its real. And your family has been helping me ever since. Metaknight could not help getting excited. He wasnt particularly fond of this planet, but he still had to tell his new parents. ATW put his hood back up. ATW: I think we should get going... a lot more for you to see out there ATW pointed to space -End Memory- Metaknight smiled at one of the happiest memories that could have surfaced. Behind the mask, he sighed and removed his sword from the ground. He felt a hand on his shoulder. Metaknight whipped around to see ATW sitting up on the warpstar, which he had managed to pilot over to MK. ATW smiled ATW: Yeah, it was a great day to meet you as well. Anything else you want to get off your chest? ATW sat there during the night, listening to the Knight and his tales, offering comfort for his greatest ally |

| Mr.Bright turned to their master. Mr.Bright: "Mister Nightmare! You're not forced to complete it now! It's late! Mr.Shien is about to get out of the Dreamscape and end the artificial night process within our base. It will be soon be my turn. Which technically means that you have been working non-stop for almost 18 hours!" Nightmare: "Look... I failed 02... both as a Great General and as a friend. I must make up! I must complete HR-H MK-III right now!" Mr.Bright: "It was not your fault..." Nightmare: "I should have knew it! I should have added an extra layer of armor to the left flank of the duplicate! Becease of that flaw, an engine fKitten Yiffer killed all those people... I killed all those people with my incompetance..." Mr.Bright: "Look... we're all incompetant... but it's doesn't mean that we're useless! We'll get those remaining Warpstar Knights! Just you see! Dark MetaKnight will locate them and then, it will be all over! You will rule the Universe alongside our Queen!" Nightrmare slowed down... alongside the Queen... alongside the one they called 02... but he didn't liked 02. She was, like him, a fake image... a mask. He wanted to rule alongside Zero, not 02... Zero... he had met her when so long ago, before the start of the war, before the pink demon, Kirby was born, before MetaKnight began to wear the mask... He remembered that night... a cluster of defect dreams had gathered next to the Fountain of Dreams. Nobody liked him... they tought he was scary, ugly, atrocious... Then, she came... To him, it seemed almost like an angel... a small, white sphere with a single blood-red eye. The sphere floated next to him, not seeing him and crying... The small cluster of bad dreams wondered why the white sphere was sad. It learned that the sphere was called Zero and that people had laughed at her becease that she was white and had no spikes. Furthermore, people had called her fat while in fact, she was just larger than normal... and to further humiliate her, they said that she had no heart, her soul being totally evil and the color of her eye reflecting it. Then, the sphere asked why the cluster was sad and the cluster of dreams replied that no one liked him becease he was made of scary, deformed dreams... but then, Zero told him that she didn't see him as a monster. To her, the bad dreams were cool and had a beauty of their own. A warm feeling came from within the cluster... and then, it replied by saying that altought those of her kind say that she was ugly and fat, to him, she seemed like the most unique-looking being he had seen. Furthermore, he had said that altought the eye was red, only the blind wouldn't see the kindness within it... Zero asked the cluster if it wanted to come with her, to her home... and the cluster instantly accepted. When the cluster arrived at Darkstar, it was given a mask and a black cape so that it would have a physical form and then, the new being was named "Nightmare", an ancient forgotten word that designated scary dreams. Ever since this day, Nightmare was always by Zero's side, helping her out like a true friend, playing with the young princess, giving advice to her, helping her out with tasks... and when the princess became a queen, Nightmare served as a Great General. Time passed... and altought the two were no longer officially friends, Nightmare continued to serve his queen both as a Great General... and as a friend. She trusted him and he trusted her... and he would not disappoint himself by disappointing her. As such, ignoring his subordinate, Nightmare worked during the entire night to perfect his new creation... ... During this time... ... On a distant star, a strange form stood within the dark room... staring at the wall. A faint light was coming from the ceiling, making the inscriptions visible... It was a drawing of a strange round creature wielding a transluceant sword with two blades and pointing it at a white angelic creature with a single blood-red eye. A strange cape covered the small, round creature that gazed at the drawing... A being came from behind the creature... ???: "The Prophecy..." The being turned around. (round being): "Fate can be moved. Our paths are not set..." ???: "I will not allow you to interfere. You know the Prophecy... the Darkness will be banished forever as those with dark blood are crushed and as the Angel, Zero, rules over the Universe forever." (round being): "Angel or not, I will not allow such an evil being to rule the world!" ???: "Whenever she's evil or not is of little concern. She is Light thus, she is right. You are Darkness thus, you are wrong." (round being): "I never understood until now why I was left in the care of your people but now I understand..." ???: "I'm happy to know you will finally exorcise the darkness from your body and soul and become a true fairy. Being a bastard... such a nightmare..." (round being): "I finally understand that I was left in your care so that I would know how horrible is a life completely ruled by ignorance and prejudices. To be conscious is to be aware of Fate... and to control it! As sentient beings, we choose our path!" ???: "You still didn't learnt your place... just like that traitor, Spectra!" (round being): "That's weird. I tought you liked it when a being told people their path was decided." ???: "She tells them false prophecies, turning them away from Fate! She is a threat!" (round being): "Well... I'd rather be a threat like her than become the slave of Zero!" ???: "Zero is the Angel! The ultimate incarnation of Light! Those who oppose her ends like the Pink Demon!" (round being): "If he really was the Demon, then why did the people of this star build shrines in his honor? Why does thousands of people hail him as a savior? Why did he saved the lives of thousands of innocents?" ???: "He saved lives that were supposed to be sacrifices to the Angel! The shrines built in his honor are unholy! People hail him but he is a fake hero! He is a monster, destroying the path of Fate!" (round being): "Enough!" The being thrown away his cape, revealing his form... ???: "PUT THAT BACK, MONSTER!" (round being): "There is no monster here besides you." The round being spreaded it's wings... ???: "So be it! Turn your back to the Light! Your actions will cause ATW to fall in disgrace and both of you will go join the Demon!" (round being): "I'm not going to the Demon... I'm leaving him." The round being flied out of the shrine as the other being screamed: ???: "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!? COME BACK HERE, YOU BASTARD MONSTER!!!" But the round being did not return... and in the sky, the legendary golden Star Ship could be seen, taking off toward the stars... |

| ATW wasnt the only one awake that night. Nobody could truly fall asleep after what happened, all of them having memories of the past. PJ lie awake under a tree, his eyes looking towards the stars. His life had been pretty bad before ATW had come about. That one day that changed his life for the better. -Memory- Somewhere in the middle of the Dreamland galaxy, there is a bustling planet named Mechanis. Most likely the most technologically advanced planet out there, Mechanis was the bringer of most breakthroughs to the galaxy. In one city named Electrica, a small green bird walked the streets. He wore a dirty brown cap, a tattered jacket, and nothing on his feet. This was PJ, around 10 years ago. PJ walked through the streets and turned into an dark alley, in which a single red door stood. PJ hated that door with a passion, and everything behind it. PJ took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Inside were many different vehicles, ranging from scooters, motorbikes, skycycles (A motorbike that could supposedly fly), and a few others. PJ took two steps and the door creaked to a close behind him. He walked over to a bench, and glanced at the clock. PJ: Good, only 8:59... Im... ???: Late, as usual. PJ whirled around to see a rather tough looking waddle-doo, with numerous scars running over his body. PJ rose an eyebrow PJ: You said arrival time is 9:00, Im on time today boss. Doo: You do realize yesterday, intergalactic time saver went into effect? Its officially 10:00 PJ silently cursed under his breath PJ: Then why does the clock read 9:00? Doo: I never bothered to reset it... now, are you going to stand there, or will I have to fire you. How many jobs will that make, seven. A personal low for you I presume? The waddle doo walked away, laughing to himself in a mocking tone that PJ had no trouble picking up on. PJ balled his fists by his side, but shook his head. PJ: The only reason he wont fire me is because Im the one that manufactured most of "his" award winning junk around here. Im his little pawn who makes it while he takes all the credit. Id rather be fired any day, and walking out isnt the best idea... he knows where I live. PJ began working, drilling holes in metal sheets, screwing various metal sheets together, checking warp engines, regular engines, just, mechanical things. Finally, at 7:00 later that day, he punched a time card and left out the same back alley he came in. Little did he know he was being watched. A figure reading the newspaper on a bench took his eyes off for a second to look at PJ, and a second later he was gone from the bench. PJ walked the dirty streets of Electrica, muttering to himself. PJ: That guy is a total pain in the... Ghaaa! I cant stand him, but hes the only one who will take me in, since Im not legally old enough to get a "real job". Man, sometimes I just hate this town, this stinkin life of mine... ???: So why dont you leave? PJ whipped around for the second time that day to come face to face with a pink ball, wearing a white robe, with red feet, and brown eyes. PJ backed away, shocked by the appearance PJ: W-Who do you think you are, listening to my conversations like that? ???: Its kinda obvious, that he didnt make those inventions. PJ: How could you tell? PJ rose an eyebrow, sarcasm in his voice ???: Lets just say I have an eye for brilliancy. You look hungry, care for a bite? PJ was dumbfounded, but something about this stranger gave him a sense of security that had never been there. He nodded and walked along behind this complete stranger. They stopped at a place named 'Comfort food'. It was a nice place, where people got to sit on cushons as they ate. PJ was escorted to a table, and sat downs, still wondering what this man wanted with him. They both ordered from the waitress that came over, even though the waitress shot a funny look at PJ for the state of is clothes. PJ looked around the cafe before a question came from the man who brought him here. ???: You really dont like it here do you? PJ put so much sarcasm into his next sentence, that a sarcasm detector would have broke. PJ: Oh, I just loooooove it here. The people are soooooo nice, and I have soooo much respect. And everyone just loooooves me and I have a perrrrrrfect job. Its so kiiiiind of you to notice! ???: Yeah, Id love to work here too, and leave my post at the rainbow palace. PJ had to stop himself from doing a spittake. He choked down his water and coughed up anything that went down the wrong way. PJ: Say what? ???: You heard me. Rainbow Palace. I live there. Actually, I built it. PJ thought his ears were having problems, or this was a really weird dream. He finally put two and two together and gasped. PJ: So youre telling me... that youre... ATW: Yep... ATW at youre service... well not really, but you get the point. ATW flashed the star insignia on his forehead. PJ: So... why are you here with me, Mr. ATW? ATW: Please, I hate formalities, and call Alex, to avoid any mass autograph signings. PJ couldnt believe how calm ATW was, and how funny he could be PJ: Okay, "Alex", what exactly are you doing here? ATW: Isnt it obvious? You have talent, and Im willing to let you come live in the palace if you work for me. PJ did a double take PJ: Seriously... you mean it?... This isnt some crazy dream, is it? ATW: Well, I dont see any bright rainbows flying around as if drawn from some magical paintbrush, so I guess this isnt a dream. So, are you coming or not? -End Memory- PJ still sat under the tree, looking out at the stars, wondering what his life would have been like had ATW not come for him. He glanced over at where ATW was resting to notice him missing. PJ franticallt looked around, and saw the golden glow of a warpstar to his right. PJ smiled and closed his eyes, glad that his so called savior was up and about. I have a feeling theres going to be enough backstory here for a while  |
