God on the Outside, Man on the Inside: Slayer is a Character that's seen many Armors, Battles and Friends or Foes. Having been around for quite a bit and taking over as the Protector of Ophoris. So let's go a bit deeper into the God who Opposed Fate itself and came out as something Greater, shall we?

●Backstory●

Slayer was originally borned and Raised in Reality 501, on the Planet "Über Terra". Time there works a bit differently, 1 Year for them is 10 Years for us, meaning he Ages far slower. When he was at the Age of 4, the XTimelines attacked his Home World and destroyed the Paradise. X himself killed Slayer's Parents, but overlooked Slayer. XToriel found him and handed him the Spirit Lantern of Irot, the Guiding Fire Spirit that would lead him through live. She lead him to become a Minor God and a traveller of the Multiverse. After learning the truth of what happened to his Home at the Age of 20, he set out on a Crucade against all XTimelines, beginning a Journed to slaughter entire Multiverses to gain more Power. He earned 2 Titles that way: The Lord of Damnation and the XSlayer. Eventually, He was confronted with the Errors he was making and handed Irot to his Genetical Brother of another Universe, allowing him to find a better Path. The Slayer himself went to the Future after Creating 5 Genetically Refined People known as "Viper-Squad" to keep the XTimelines unaware of his Leave.

●Aliases and Titles●

-Slayer

-XSlayer

-Lord of Damnation

-Soulreaper

-The Godsent

-Guardian 501

●Arsenal●

He keeps a vast amount of Weapons, too many to list, even. But a few Examples are: Angelic Crucible, Angelic Super Shotgun, Mew Mew Soul Knife, Energy Pistol (R501) and more.

●Hidden Hobbies●

Slayer has a soft Spot for Animals and Creation. In his Private Time, he takes care of his Cyberdragon "Belle" and his Pet Soulhound "Cyro". He also enjoys learning new Cooking Recipes and Art. He still follows the Religious beliefs of his World to some extend.

●The Mark of Damnation●

The Slayer took the Symbol of his World's Protective God after becoming a Primeval. The Mark Shows his Territory, his Property and his Propjecy. (See Picture 2)

●Summary●

He's a Cold Leader, but a Merciful God. Don't go against him and his Goals and you'll find him "pleasent" to be around. He is a Lord, he is of Beyond... but never without Reason. He will finish the Job. And you best hope you're not in the way of that Job...

The Blacksmith Hammer Struck again and again... Angelic and Sentinal Steel, forged together as one unbreaking Armor. A Tool for a God of the Unholy Realms. And the Voices of the Past still cried out as his Will remained unbroken...

◇Monster...

◇YOU KILLED US...

◇Your Path will always be your Suffering!

◇Your Life will be endless Abandonment... they will never love you as you've come to love them...

"..."

He walked over to the Molten Lava smelter, placing a Long forgotten Helmet in... one of a Friend. The One who was everywhere... Memer...

As the Steel Mask Melted, he tossed in the Ancient Coin of Divinity, alongside the Coin of Divine Respect. They melted Together, forging the Helmet that even the Void itself would fear...

◇You won't change... You cannot... You will always be their Craft... The Monster they forged you into... and the Chains will weigh on you... Eternally...

He put on his Helmet in Silence, carerully picking up his Upgraded Shotgun and Crucible as he walked to the exit Portal. He looked back, just a moment of hesitation.

"...I know... but I will be their Slave no longer... and not yours to Command or Torture

Slayer walked through the Empty Streets of Heaven, the Silence was eery... almost Creepy. He remade it during the Overwrite, just like Hell. Both had no Soul residing in them. It was... unpleasent, yet Nostalgic

Guardian (Comms): ...You are quiet. Something is... troubling you, isn't it?

Slayer: ...This Place... a Sanctuary of Old. The Souls of Good People would be brought here to live a Worryless Afterlife. A Blessing to those with Poor or Good Chances in Life.

Guardian (Comms): I see... and did it get involved in the Crystal War you spoke of? I would imagine them to be of use.

Slayer: They were involved. XGaster took one of their Soldiers and turned her into an Expirement. One of my... "Sons" cured her and we returned her to her own. We were repaid with bad Council and Abandonment.

Guardian (Comms): And... Do you regret it? Helping them?

Slayer: ...No. They were in need of Help. I was pleased to hear my own giving that Aid without a Price. The only thing I regret is not being there. The People here did no wrong anymore, yet the Timelines still erased them without another Thought.

Guardian (Comms): The thing your Crucades sought to end... I am sorry. The Council Building is up ahead, the Forge Key is inside. Doors are locked. Break through them?

Slayer: No. I don't wish to damage this Holy Place any further. We go over the Roof. We go to the Exorcist Building after.

•Near Midnight, Ophoris Grasslands

Their Arrival was silent, calculated and swift: the Fleet of the Imperium of Super Earth. Spartan-229 stood on a Hill, seeing the ISES Eternity Warp in

Spartan: ISES Eternity, I have your Signal. Sending Coordinates for Pick-up, We have new Targets. Empire is attempting Construction of a Mining Facility, Intercept them.

SGLaDOS: Affirmative. Super Destroyers Warping to Intercept Resource Carriers. Further Construction will be intercepted. Pelican is en route to pick you up, Commander.

Spartan: Copy that...

Multiple Super Destroyers appeared at the Location of the Mining Facility, intercepting Resource Carriers and halting the Construction.

◇And so the Beast is unleashed... a Path forged by a Righteous Heart◇

Slayer woke up in the new World he created... Ophoris, named after the Companion who forged his Gear for him. He stood up from the Dirty Ground of the Forrest, reaching for his Shieldsaw... which was gone.

Slayer: ...This could be annoying... No matter... I made a Guardian. Gotta find them...

He walked for a while, eventually finding the Guardian in a Cave made from Broken Super Destroyer Pieces.

Guardian: So you found me... Creator. Say... what will you do? By the Code of Guardians, you may choose to retire... or Guard this World.

Slayer: ...I'm a Warrior. I fight for the Cause I believe in. This time... it's protecting this world, High Priestess. Will you join me?

Guardian: ...But of Course. We'll renew your Gear, as you did your Purpose. Eventually...

◇And he will remain the Dominant Force... as he always was, as he always will be...◇

Slayer walked through the Empty Halls of the XLab, mere fractions of doubt in his Mind. He held the Overwrite Blade, he Held the Fate of Everyone in his Hands. He stood infront of the Core of Reality... hesitant...

Irot: Look how far you've come... from Child to Warrior, from Warrior to Monster, From Monster to the God Slayer... What comes after this? What does the Future hold for the Great Slayer? Salvation? Oblivion?

Slayer: ...Peace. and Hope. You've become Daring... you found family. Are you happy?

Irot: ...I'm unsure. You never released me of your Services. I'm still your Guide. But this... You've gone beyond your Mortal Limits. By far.

Slayer: We all chose our Fates... you've learned Love, family and Happiness... I've learned Absolution, Comradery and Freedom... I believe we've guided eachother all along. So... it's time...

He took her Hand... Gently. He removed his Helmet, looking at her face to face for once.

Slayer: Irot of the Inferno... Your Services of Guidance and Friendship lead to the Salvation of a Broken Soul... I, Slayer of Reality 501, release you of your Services.

In a Flaming Flash of Light, Irot disapeared. Slayer stood alone... as he always did. Now, only one Man on his Side... the Spartan.

●Meanwhile at the Sanctuary●

Slash was talking with XMartlet, his final Goodbye. Rookie did the Same, holding his Daughter closely, his Helmet on the Table

Rookie: Remember, Daddy loves you more than anything else in the World... but Daddy also has an important Job to do. But I'll be back, I promise. You have to take gooe care of Mommy now, okay?

His Daughter nodded... they smiled. He smiled with Pride and Love in his Heart. He stood up, hugging and kissing Ash before he had to go.

Ash: Try to get home before Dinner, Love.

Rookie: Wouldn't miss it for the World, Darlin'...

He walked over to the Window, Slash passed him his Helmet. Tick had already moved on to other Universes to continue his work.

Jeff: No sign of the Timelines... Evac is done though. We're ready...

Slash: So this is it... Viper-Squad... one. Last. Time. Are we ready?

Fred: Fuckin' Hell, I am.

Rookie: Alright... Let's go. Slayer, Start it.

◇And so the World... would see the Power of a Man who took fate... into his own Hands◇

Reality faltered and restructured... the Overwrite Crucible gave the Slayer all the Power he needed...

"Reform... Remember your Oath..."

The Archipelago started Collapsing in on itself, Memories returning to the Incomplete, fate restructuring. The Slayer was fullfilling his Purpose...

"For the Innocent... deserve a Guardian... and I will walk... to the Edge of the Blade... until my Duty. Is. Done."

Behind Viper-Squad, a familiar face showed itself: XS, the tortured Child of the Timelines... He lunged at Slash, but got interrupted by Fred. He tried to defend his Brother in Arms... yet paid the Ultimate Price. Slash threw XS towards the Collapsing Core of Reality...

Jeff: No... No, no, no... Not like this, C'mon... Come on, Get up, you've had worse... I can't lose you, not like this... Please...

Fred: coughing Blood sorry Bro... I don't think... I think this was our last Operation together...

Jeff: No, Please... don't... You were right, he wasn't-

Fred: Nom... I was wrong... so wrong... You've taught me well, Brother... Love... will always... persist... as long as one can... forgive Flaws...

That was his end... he perished in His Brother's Arms as a fullfilled Man. A Mark that would impact even the Most Heartless Creatures...

Slash: ...For a Heart Broken... can be equal fixable... Brother, I'm sorry. We'll be gone, but never forgotten.

He grabbed XS, throwing them both into the Unstable Core of Reality, their Souls scattering into the Trillions of Atoms in the World... Infinite Existance ended, for Absolution was their Path.

As All Reality went Dark, a final thought excaped... The Flame of Hope remained Ignited.

"For all my Wrongs... Let my Rights show my Loyalty and my Will show my Dedication... The Path still goes on. Where will mine Stop?"

◇And by His Soul... the Hearts will bleed a Cruel Memory◇

XSlayer and Rookie arrived at the Overwrite Forge, XSlayer immediatly tossed the Overwrite Crucible in to slowly Overcharge it. XSlayer sat down quietly...

Rookie: ...Something on your Mind? You've been quiet for a while...

XSlayer: ...He won't return. This Conflict... will be Slash's last. For good, I hope. He's always been special... but always too persistant for his own and others' Good, even from beyond the Grave.

Rookie: You know this... how?

XSlayer: I'm... I've seen it before. All of this... just a Cycle. It repeats... He'll die. His Voice will be one to haunt me. Along with my Flaws.

Rookie: What of the others? What will happen to us?

XSlayer: Some will follow him... some will stay. No... Just you... We stand... and they fall. Forever...

Rookie went silent... He picked up the Overcharged Crucible, looking at it for a moment.

Rookie: So... who will we be? Strangers? Allies?

...

"Spartan and Slayer"

Spartan: ...Let's get going then.

Slayer: Yeah... The Last steps will be... difficult. I'll still walk them... No matter how much I must endure...

They left the Forge... the Final Step remains untaken. Almost Ready... to fade away...

◇Where the Legacy began... Gods fell Victim to their own Craft◇

XSlayer and Rookie arrived to the Ancient City ruins... the Fortress Walls were broken in many Places, burn marks still visible. A Siege happened... one that Shed a lot of Blood

Rookie: Jesus Christ... What happened here? Didn't you say this place was built to withstand an Attack from you? How did it fall?

XSlayer: They weren't prepared enough... Let's go. We're not far from the Forge, it's in the Main Building's Lower Levels.

They walked, seeing the over all impressive Architecture. Nothing was without Detail... or Damage. In the Towncenter was his Mark... Painted in Blood and Old Dust. A Massacre of Thousands... by just one Mortal Vessel... the Vessel of a Cruel Will. Puppet to a Cruel Man.

Rookie: ...He made you a Monster.... how many fell to your Blade because he wanted it so?

XSlayer: ...None. I wanted it. I chose this fate for myself. And if this Plan doesn't go as planned... I'll choose it again... and I'll make sure to spare none this time.

Rookie: ...Understood.

They kept walking... Fate wouldn't wait. Neither would the War of the Archipelago...

Irot sat in an old Ruined City, a blazing Portal to a World of Fire and Cinder behind her. She had sent the Coordinates to Koss and he was already late. Not to her Surprise, her Cowboy obsessed Brother was annoying her during the extended wait.

Yzza: SOOooo... the little Forrest-Fire finally got someone she hasn't evaporated upon Touch~

Irot: ...Shut up, Yzza... at least the Fire went out, unlike that one time you burned Mom's favourite Vase to Glass.

Yzza: You still got Blamed~

Irot: At least I wasn't secretly Gay for a goddamn Ice-Assassin Spirit!

Yzza: ...That was Mean. Say Sorry, or I'll tell Mom

Irot: Yzza, you're 35.279 Years old, Grow up.

Yzza: *pouting* Fine... you just wait for your stupid Boyfriend Doss then!

Irot: His Name is-

He already disapeared through a Portal. She adjusted her Hoodie a bit, then stared back down at her Phone Screen. At the Received Text of the Meeting Time.

Irot: Somehow, your Mom is always on time when you aren't, Idiot... at least you're a Cute Idiot...

•In a Flowerfield in the Shattered Archipelago

The Wind was blowing, Sun was shining... a Beautiful Day to be out and about to relax and get away from the Worries of War. The Flowerfields were the part that the XSlayer particularly liked.

XSlayer: As Beautiful as I remember... I'm sure I know who ensured that... I'd like to thank her someday.

XMartlet: Yeah, the Queen did have a Passion for Beautifull Flowers... but why are we here? Don't you have some Cosmic Horror to Kill?

He chuckled, setting down Irot's old Lantern and laying down beside it.

XSlayer: Everyone needs a Break sometimes... and just because I have the Strenght to, doesn't mean I want to fight everything. We've been pulling our Punches for a long while. It's... better that way.

She sat down beside him, looking at the Sky and Horizon. XSlayer pulled the Helmet from his Head, laying it on the Lantern. He let the Gray hair of his Beard flow in the wind.

XSlayer: Before you mention it... yes, I'm older than most expect... but XToriel once told me something... "If you ever need me... Wait amongst the Flowers. There, I'll find you."

XMartlet: So that's your Plan? Lay here and wait to see if she Shows up? She HATES you!

XSlayer: No... She hates Slash. I've had no Quarrel with her. Yet. Some might say my butchering of alternate XTimelines would be to their Liking, Even.

XMartlet: Well... I'll leave you to it then... Just Report back if nothing happens. And don't die!

She took a Portal back to the Sanctuary, he stayed behind. He took out an old Cookbook he took from some XTale a long while ago.

XSlayer: Might Aswell look at some of these while I wait...

•Sanctuary of Absolution

XMartlet and Ash were working with a Complicated Machine atop the Sanctuary, adjusting settings and preparing something.

XMartlet: Alright then! That plan with the Meeting didn't work out since my Colleagues are all "Too Busy with Important stuff" and don't like actually socializing. So, different Approach: We force them to meet with us!

Ash: ...Do you always have to go through all your Notes when you plan something? It's getting... mildly annoying.

XMartlet: Right, sorry. It's a habit. So... let me just check the Notes... quietly then!

She picked up her Notes Folder, reading her notes. The Machine would use the Overwrite Crucible to pull on the XTimelines' Overwrite Energies, bringing them to the Sanctuary of Absolution. Or if it worked too well, XGaster would be brought to them.

XMartlet: Y'know, that Overwrite Crucible is a pretty fun thing. And somehow, I got my old Colours back! And I-

Rookie: Can change your Eye Colour between White, Purple and Red, we know. You talked about it a lot, Birdy. Yes, it's Cool, but... Calm down. It's just your old Teammates who'll hopefully show up this time.

Ash: Alright, we're ready. Put the thing in, I'll just adjust the Final Settings so we don't tear their Souls out when bringing them here.

Rookie put the Overwrite Crucible into the Machine Slot, where it got put into a Cylinder of Reinforced Glass. XMartlet got to press the Activation Button, the Machine started its Work

Rookie: Let's Hope this Works well... I'm getting tired of them sitting around while THEIR "Perfect World" falls into absolute Chaos.

•Sanctuary of Absolution

•2 Hours after Reality Breach

After Slash's Energy fully reassembled, it turned the Ripper-Tower into a Magical Tree, old Catwalks turned into ways through the Wood, old Rooms turned into hollowed out ones in the Bark. It was still a Base, just made of a living Entity. The Entire Squad was still adjusting while Slash and his others prepared for the Future

Rookie: Well, wasn't this a Crazy trip... looks like our Boss still knows his Shit.

Jeff: Dude, he turned one of the Most Powerfull Military Stations into a living Tree that he controls! And we all know who took notice fastest...

Fred: Man, fuck the Timelines, we have a Life to get back to! Your Ass may be lonely because you can't accept reality, but some of us enjoyed Peace!

Jeff: XMettaton did a lot of wrong, yes, but he was nice! You just never interacted with the Group much, so you wouldn't know.

Rookie: They have their good sides... sadly too controlled by 2 People. If you can call them that...

Fred: THEY are NOT Pe-

Ash: Would all of you quiet down? We have a Child sleeping in the next Room... How are Slash and his relatives?

Fred: You tell me...

A few Rooms over, Slash, XSlayer, Tick, Irot and Marauder were looking at a Holografic Map. XSlayer and Irot stood back, an... awkward Reunion.

Irot: So... are you still the Monster I knew back then?

XSlayer: Could we not do this as soon as we see eachother again after so many years?

Irot: I suppose... But It's a fair question. You time travelled multiple Trillions of years to this time, skipping Most of Life to the worst moments of it. And you left behind Viper-Squad so the Timelines wouldn't know that 1007 was gone...

XSlayer: Clever, I know... but I assure you, I have changed. A lot... I brought you to Tick all those years ago, I'll bring Slash to X now. They need to make up... or they'll never find a way to win this war. That's why I carry the Overwrite Crucible everywhere... in case they do decide on the best Option...

Tick: You done yet? We have visual with the "Resistance" and Callie. Maybe we pay her a Visit first...

XSlayer: Salvation is your thing. Killing stuff belongs to my Genetic Coding, not yours. Let's see what they've been up to...

Meanwhile, Slash was zoning out while looking at the Map, a Voice in the back of his Mind...

Slash: ...He's out there... and none of the three of us know how, why and where... we just have to find him... and see if our Brother's doing fine... or the biggest Issue we've yet to have...

Marauder: ...You good, Sir?

Slash: Hm? Oh, yeah... just thinking.

Marauder: Well, Sir, I suppose we try to send a signal out into the World.

XSlayer: I want to meet three or at least one of the Timelines...

Tick: Which are..?

XSlayer: Timelines III, IV and VIII. They are the first ones I properly met, maybe I can... reconsile with them. Find common Ground...

Slash: IF we go by the Plan of Meeting them in a plain field... I want Timeline I there too. He... he's the one I'd call "Friend". I could work with him well.

Marauder: Then it's settled... attempt to meet with 4 of the Timelines. Meeting Place?

Slash: The Tree House XMartlet built... she's the Neutral Ground we need.

He sent out the Signal over the Tree's Blossom, then XSlayer and Slash teleported to the Tree House... and waited.

•Ripper-Tower Set Delta-7

Ash and the others were preparing the final steps to overloading the Ripper-Towers. They all had their Old Gear on, a bit scratched to be more grey or Silver than the old Colours.

Ash: Power Sources are almost all ready... Slash worked a lot on this. Seems he anticipated that X would kill him. Boys, how are your parts going?

Jeff: Timelines and Chrome did a Number on the Shields here... guess they weren't as tolerant of these Towers after his Death as we thought. Maybe they sent him to-

Fred: Jeff. We agreed on it, we forget the Robot. He never cared. He won't care if you ever meet again, I doubt he kept the Heart Locket you gave him.

Jeff: Right... I... I can get the Shields running. Turrets only particially, ships will need to take on rest of defense... IF anyone attacks, that is.

*The Energy Shields loaded up, Covering the Towers. Fred fixed up the Extra stored Armor for Slash, a Classic Armor with the X-Killer Shoulder Pad and Coattails.*

Fred: Hey, Rookie-Dad, you sure there was no Helmet for this one? He usually always makes one for each Armor. Why is this one missing the Helmet?

Rookie: Not sure, nothing in his Hidden Armory. That's for sure... Blueprints said he had a Helmet designed and finished. Maybe he lost it or used it? Sadly, we don't know where he dusted out of existance.

Ash checked all the systems, making sure the calculations were right. She pressed a few Buttons, her Hand lingering over the activation Lever

Ash: Alright, let's go over this... The Towers Rip a Hole into the Beyond, which is all of Slash's Power unleashed to its Limits. Power expands across the Archipelago, Power forms up on the Creation Point. All good?

Rookie: All good... Let's get this Party going... and hopefully all survive to tell the tale.

Ash pulled the Lever, the Towers hummed to Life. Minutes passed... then a Cyan Beam launched from the Main Tower, illuminating the Shattered Archipelago in its entirety before pulling back to its Center Point, forming into a Blossoming Flower.

Ash: That's it! The Flower of Salvation Destruction!

Rookie: We got news from Tick. He has the Lantern, he's on his Way. The Girl will love the Lightsshow... now... let's see if the Old fleet needs to prove itself again...

((You may interact here freely))

•Reality 662

•At Rookie and Ash's Farm

It been Decades since Viper-Squad left the War and the Shattered Archipelago to live in Peace. While Fred and Jeff had built a Space Station to control and Benefit from the Trade Route in their Galaxy, Ash and Rookie chose to build a family on a Peacefull Farmland. Their Entire Private Army was inactive or used for Defense of their Small Galaxy

It was late Autumn, Rookie had been out all day, farming alongside Fred's old Scorch-Titan. Ash was mostly working in their Garage, working on Devices and old Gear, or she was cooking. Until a Ping went to her old Comm, a little rusty.

Ash: Odd... this was turned to Squad Ping only, not Fred or Jeff's signature...

She turned on her side of the Comm, suspicious of the Origin of the Ping

Ash: This is Ash, Osiris Galaxy Traderoute, identify yourself and state the Purpose of this Ping.

???: You know the Name... I'm calling because I need a new Body... and you know how much I miss you all in the Afterlife~

Ash: surprised Slash? How are you- Nevermind, I know the Answer is "because I'm cursed". Alright, new Body, what are we looking at for Methods? She pulled out his Old Emergency Folders from the Dusty Backshelf, her Eyes allowing her to see without any Light.

Slash: I have everything planned... I need the Expiremental Ripper-Tower Delta-9 Online, I placed the Infinity Stones and Ultra-Battery there... You'll have to deliver something else.

Ash: Slash... You're asking a lot of me. I'm married now, we have stable life and a peacefull Future, I'm even a Mo-

Slash: Ash... I need you. Viper-06... can't fuction without Viper-09 or Viper-Squad... Please... It's cold here. And It's too quiet for sanity to stay.

Ash: ...Fine. What do you need me to Deliver? We can freeze time for this Reality as long as we are gone.

Slash: Pardon you... "We"?

Jeff, Fred and Rookie also signed in on their Comms.

Jeff: We're not letting her go alone, shitbag.

Fred: Family... holds together.

Rookie: And I have people I want to protect. Can't do that without all of you.

Slash: ...I love you Guys... So much... I need you to deliver my old Eclipse Hammer... and this.

A Cyan Butterfly dropped the reforged DT-Gem, now shaped like a Monster Soul, into Ash's Hand.

Slash: The Procedures are already set... it just needs those two components to work. Then we'll see eachother again... face to face...

Rookie: Understood, Commander. We're undusting the Gear and... getting the one you hid away in the Secret Armory.

Jeff: We'll see it done. And maybe even... someone else.

Fred: Jeff, we talked about-

Their Comms cut off

Ash: We'll see you soon enough, Buddy. And a new face, too.

Slash: Until then... I'll wait for salvation...

•Shortly before Slash's entry into Hell

Slash was on the SES Star of Expansion, his Super Destroyer was drifting through Space. He was looking silently at the Spot Irot and him had always placed their Gear together... completly empty. He had forged a new Helmet for himself. He sighed as he put it on his Hip and walked over to 5 Lifetubes, 5 new Lifeforms in them. None of them conscious

Slash: Computer, Status Report. How are they?

Ship AI: All 5 Subjects are in stable Condition and adjusting to the Planted Memories. The Discovery of your Actions has a 2.39% Chance of Occuring.

Slash: Good... It's best if they don't know me. They'll know all their need to, right?

Ship AI: They have all individual and Elite Training, physically and Mentaly. Subject 6 will be capable of eventually nearing your Power.

Slash: Then I've done all I need... Rations are full, Fuel is realisticly adjusted, all systems are as they should be... Just one last thing...

He pressed 2 Buttons, grabbing an Artifact he'd need before closing the Hatch again.

Slash: Computer... delete all records of my Presence after I'm gone. Or at least, encrypt them as deep as you can.

Ship AI: Understood. I am opening the Rift in the Omniversal Fabric now.

A White Rift appeared before Slash. He took a deep Breath

Slash: Computer... you're a Good Friend. Good Luck to you. And let them fly high. Transfer Authority Codes to them.

As he jumped through the Rift, the Ship finished the Important Updates and Transfers.

Ship AI: Your Next Location- Shattered Archipelago. Good Luck, Sir. Authority Codes transfering to- Viper-Squad.

The Ship adjusted its Course to the Hazbin Hotel Airspace. The Journey was starting... you know as much already.

●Present Day●

The Atoms of Slash's Soul Half were still where they got seperated by X's Laser. But they slowly reassembled... then absorbed into a White Flash... He arrived. The Soul split: The "Mortal Monster"...

XSlayer: Now then... Let's see what the Torturer's have been up to since we last met...

•Reality 612

•After the Evacuations

His Goals had changed. He wasn't there just for the Slaughter of his Enemies... he came to be a Savior of the Innocent. He was done spilling Blood of the Innocent. He watched the Last Evacuation Shuttle leave, then turned to leave... until he had a gut feeling. He started Jogging through the Burning City.

Slash: Someone has to be left... we can't have gotten them all... There has to be someone...

He ran... and ran... and ran... then he eventually heard it: a weak cry for help he recognised... he was the one who cried so many Years ago. He Sprinted, faster than ever. He tore he Rubble away, then cut the Person free with his Shieldsaw. He grabbed them, then hurried to safety. He looked who he had just saved...

Slash: You... You're just a Child... how could they forget a Child...

He looked at the Sky, seeing the Evacuation Fleet FTL-Jump

Slash: Oh, god- I can't track that...

He looked at the Child... Just as young as he was when disaster Struck him... he had to decide. His Judgement shifted. He took a deep breath, then took his Helmet off while crouching down to the Kid

Slash: Hey there... Don't- don't be afraid, I... I won't hurt you... Can you tell me your name, little guy?

Child: T- tick...

Slash: Tick... Just like my Brother. You look a lot like him... Do you have any Family anywhere? Anyone you can stay with?

The Kid shook his Head. A Light of sorrow returned to Slash's eyes, where it hadn't been for Centuries.

Slash: I see... I can't keep you... but I can send you on a better path. Would you... allow me to carry you somewhere?

Tick nodded. Slash quickly holstered his Gear, picked up Tick into his Arms and picked up his Helmet. He walked, gently, for a bit. Eventually, they reached a Multiversal Portal. A Yellow Glowing Butterfly landed on Tick's head, absorbing into him. Slash set him down infront of the Portal, kneeling down.

Slash: Here we are... I have a few things for you. They will guide and help you on your Journey ahead...

He pulled out Irot's Lantern and a Revolver he used to wield himself.

Slash: Here, take them. The Revolver will protect you... the Lantern will guide you. It's Magic.

Tick: M- magic...?

Slash: Yes, Magic. A Good friend of mine lives in it. Light it, and she will guide you. But you have to keep the Flames lit. Also... take these.

He pulled out his Ration Box gave it to Tick alongside his Helmet.

This Food and Drink will last, if you savor well, at least 2 Months. The Helmet will protect you. Out there, listen to my Friend Well. She'll be not only a Guide, but... a best Friend Aswell.

Tick: I- is she... nice?

Slash: ...the nicest Soul I know. I have to go now. More People need me.

He handed Tick a Lighter, then turned to leave. Tick looked after him.

Tick: Will I... see you again? I'm scared...

Slash: ...You will. If you look for me.

Tick: And what is YOUR name, kind Sir?

Slash: ...Slash. Just Slash. Nothing more, nothing less.

He left Tick to himself with Irot. He knew he wasn't the right influence for a Child. But she was. He felt a sense of Pride... then knowledge of what to do next. His new Mission was set out for him. Irot had her own without him.

•Reality 2781

•After another Massacre

Slash stood on a Hill, overlooking a still burning Village where he had slaughtered this World's XTimelines and so many others... Innocent others. His Shieldsaw was sticking in the Bark of the Tree behind him, his Shotgun on his Hip. Irot seemed... scared and unhappy... Slash was forged into a Monster and she failed to prevent it.

Irot: I think you should stop. You've done enough, you've gone too far even!

Slash: ...What? We're not done, there are still worlds left with those Freaks and they already know I'm coming for them, they cower in fear of me! There's not many left, their Multiplication is stopping, I can finish this soon!

Irot: And how many Die because of it?! You view those who lived peacefully with them just as guilty and slaughter them like Bugs against a Shredder! You're a Monster now! Not a savior, not some righteous Warrior from the Stories we read! You're a Hunter, always looking for the next Kill! And I won't have it!

Slash: Irot, I cared for you for Centuries! I kept you alive as you kept me, I am your ONLY family since they left you with me! And you just want to move on without me?!

Irot: ...No. but I think I have to. Give the Lantern to someone who needs Guidance more than you. Let them fire me up again and I will guide them to be better. I failed you... I won't fail another.

Slash: Irot, I'm not-

She disapeared into the Lantern, the Flame extinguishing for once. He picked it up, it was heavier than before. He looked at it, considering reigniting it. He didn't. The Rain extinguished the Village's Flames, Slash took the Shield onto his Back. He whiped the Water from his Helmet Visor, looking over the Destruction he caused

Slash: Maybe I am a Monster... but I'm free, at least. I may not be ready to seperate from you yet... but if it's your Wish... So be it. I have a Mission to continue.

He left the World to its own, returning to his Ship. Irot's Lantern flickered with Hope a Moment... then died out at the presence of Slash's new Motivation.

•Reality 908

•During the Hunt for the last Survivor

Slash looked through the empty corridors of the Lab, Stalking through the Darkness. Despite his Weight, his step remained unheard. Blood covered the Shieldsaw, spilled by the Reality's XTimelines. His Will remained steadfast, breaking through every locked Door.

Irot: Slash... I have to ask... are you sure this is worth it? We've been hopping from Universe to Universe, just so you can slaughter People you have never truly met... It's been how long since you started?

Slash: ...932 Years since we met. Most of the Time spent on my Duty, which I do not necessarily regret. Other Questions, Sister?

Irot: ...Why haven't you chosen something else yet? You could have built a new Family, retired, found new Friends and happiness... yet you slaughter like your time is endless and-

Slash: Irot. Do you know how long Humans live on average?

Irot: I don't know, two thousand Years or so?

Slash: No... 75 to 100 Years. And as you know, I'm turning 937 in a couple of Months. Whatever it is... I don't age normally. I am ancient, yet I look no older than 23 Years of Age. So I do believe I have a lot of time left in me.

Irot: ...Get me Gasoline as Fuel later. I need something Washy for now.

Slash: Understood... I'll just finish up here first.

Irot disapeared into her Lantern. Many Halls behind Slash, the XAlphys variant heard it all. She turned to excape... a Single Shotgun Blast obliterated her Head, leaving a gorey mess on the Ground. He took the Heart Locket and a Blood Sample, then left the Lab. His Boots left Bloody Footprints behind, a path of Violence and Hate to trace.
