|Monsterous Multiverse|

[For the last several months, I have been working on a writing project for my oldest niece. Totally self-indulgent, for both myself and my niece. She began to share the story with her friends; soon after, I was asked to make it public. So~ after working on the story and re-writing it, here is the first chapter. I tried not to make anything confusing because this is a Multiverse story.

Like... a large multiverse. Fandoms that are in this story are; Overwatch (Gabriel Reyes only), Marvel (Avengers are mentioned, and there's Deadpool.) Soul Eater (BlackStar is mentioned.) Undertale, Underverse. I think that's it?? I'll mention others the more I post.

Original Characters; Nao, Justin Faust, Lily Celeste Star, Felix Wendall belong to me. Atara belongs to @cactobutt ]

|Monsterous Multiverse; Chapter One|

Arelang: something that is eternal, that has withstood the test of time and emerged unscathed.

Monsters.

That's what they were, staring down at the humans with such hate; even on Earth, they were large creatures. It is said that on their home planet, Arelang, that these beings were god-like; both malevolent and benevolent. On their home planet, they stood as tall as trees! But, when on other planets, their bodies morphed down to a more appropriate size. They traveled the Universe(s) to find creatures who could be played with; fight for them, live for them, die for them. Many creatures proved perfect for what they were searching for, but humans... Humans were far more fun to play with. They seeked out validation for recognition. They wanted more than what their earthly people were able to give.

So, the Arelangians offered them powers, borrowed powers. In the end, the humans were to give back what they had borrowed; whether it be striped away or handed back willingly. The malevolent Arelangians sought out those who wished to destroy, while the benevolent sought out those who wished to save, to repair what was taken. The humans fought hard against each other, being strung along like puppets in a play. Until one day, a particular heroic group found out the truth of what the Arelangians were doing and waged war on the god-like creatures.

The Guardians, founded by a human woman who went by the name; Nao. She gathered a group of remarkable people and inhuman beings to make up the Guardians; they started off with what the Arelangians had given them and expanded their knowledge and powers. They were able to travel the Universe(s) just as the Arelangians could, fighting for those who couldn't fight for themselves. Defeating the evil lackeys who worked for the malevolent Arelangians.

Nao, Faust, Reyes, Lily, and Deadpool were the only Guardians who were willing to stand against the Arelangians during the war; but they had friends who backed them up. All the Universes they saved, those who claimed that they owed the Guardians, their lives jumped into help fight. The Arelangians were surprised - no, for the first time in a long time, they were scared. Their fear grew into hatred, and they faced these mortals, only to be defeated in the end. They were prepared to be executed, but the leader of the Guardians refused to take any more lives. Nao spared them their lives- and was rewarded with death.

Before the Arelangians stepped through their own portals to return home, they drove the Earth to explode; to expire. Intending to take the Guardians with it. Nao was quick to summon a portal that would get her team out of danger - their allies had already flooded back home themselves, having helped the Earthlings escape death. Once she knew everyone was safe on the planet, she sighed a breath of relief; regardless of them winning, Nao decided then that she would pass on. There was no saving her...

The lone Guardian raised her gaze one last time to meet her adopted daughter's frightened gaze. Lily's eyes widened as she tried to run back to save her mother, but she was held back by Faust. Nao offered a watery smile, her gaze a loving one; she called out to Lily one last time; "I love you, Lil's."

Nao closed the portal before Lily could break free from Faust. She sighed out again, her body falling to the scorched ground; her body was numb and severely injured. With her borrowed powers removed from her, she could not heal her own wounds. The only thing she had left was her empath powers- not that was going to need them anymore.

A shadow fell over Nao, but she didn't move. The cigarette smoke blended in with the smoke from the fires that lay all around. The person knelt down to check and make sure Nao was alive - he was relieved to see she was still holding on. He clicked his non-existent tongue before hauling the woman up into his skeletal arms. "You really are so dramatic." He sighed to her, even though she was unconscious still. "Come on, let's get you some help." He mutters and teleports away from the burning dying planet.

2 years later...

"I now pronounce you Chicken and-"

"I reject!"

"Its... object."

"Oh. I OBJECT!"

The crowd gasped in surprise and turned to see who had dared interrupt such a beautiful wedding. Epic spun around, his dress swaying around him as he saw just who stood in the doorway of the chapel- "Ink?!"

"That's right! I'm stopping this wedding! Epic, you know that Chicken isn't the right one for you!" Ink yells, pointing an accusing finger at the life-sized rubber chicken who squawked, clearly appalled! "Oh yeah? Who then, might I ask, would be the bruh-tastic groom for someone as bruh-tiful as me?" Ink steps to the side, revealing Cross- Epic gasps loudly, the hand that wasn't holding his bouquet of flowers slapped to his cheekbone. "Cross?!"

"That's right!" Cross' stern gaze locked with Epic's surprised eye light. "You can't marry that rubber chicken!" "Why not?!" Epic asked, crossing his arms as he turned away, pouting. "Because I'm your real bruh!" Epic gasped yet again, this time turning to look at his friend in shock before tears pooled in his sockets. "Y-You really mean that?!" Cross grinned, winking at his best bruh. "Absol-bruh-ley!"

Epic started to cry, wiping his tears away with the back on his hand. "T-This makes me so happy, bruh!" The rubber chicken at his side squawked again, earning Epic's attention- he glared at his groom and pushed him aside. "Don't be rude! Cross is right! You're not bruh-tacular like Cross is! We're through!" Epic tossed his bouquet of flowers away and ripped his dress off of him- revealing his usual attire underneath- How did that work? Magic, I guess.

Cross opened his arms wide, inviting his best bruh in for a hug; Epic ran and jumped into his arms, holding him tight. "Let's go get some cookies!" "Chocolate, right?" "Chocolate chip!" Epic winked at Cross, who laughed before they both hurried out of the chapel. Ink looked all around at the shocked guests before placing his hands on his pelvis. "My job here is done!" He quickly turned around and ran out of the chapel.

Guests were beginning to murmur, either disappointed or pleased with the ending of this spe-cluck-eler wedding. They all started to make their way out of the chapel, heading home or going to Grillby's for a bite to eat. The two who remained in the back of the chapel were Nao and G. Nao laughed gently while G sighed, exasperated. "What a waste of time..." He grumbled, finally able to light a cigarette and take a long needed drag from it. Nao smiled up at him, nudging him with her elbow. "Don't be that way, I thought it was cute! The rubber chicken obviously wasn't the right choice anyway." Again, the chicken wheezed out a squawk of disappointment.

G gave Nao an incredulous look. "You thought that was cute? Gave me a horrible headache." He continued to grumble. "Aw, you're just grumpy that they wouldn't let you smoke during the ceremony- you shouldn't be smoking now." She pointed at the smoking cancer stick but didn't bother to push him to put it out. Instead, she stood up and started to sidestep out of the pews, heading for the exit. "Come on, let's go grab a bite to eat. We'll be meeting the others soon." G stood up as he popped the cigarette in his mouth and followed after Nao, his fingers holding the stick while he inhaled the smoke and let it swim inside his mouth before releasing it.

"That reminds me. Saw Lily the other day." He started to explain as they stepped down the stairs of the chapel. Nao hummed as she focused on where she was going, G was close behind, watching her in case she became too weak. Even after healing from the war, Nao's body was frail, and she easily grew tired just by going for a stroll. "Oh? How is she doing?" She smiled sadly, knowing that she shouldn't bother going to see her adopted daughter. Not when there was a threat of another war coming.

"..." G finished his cigarette before replying. "She's happy." He said while tossing the cigarette bud to the ground and smashing it. Nao sent him a stern glare. He chuckled and bent down to pick it up to throw it away in the next garbage can he saw. "She's hanging around that Fresh guy. Heard her say something about living with Dream." Nao let her head tilt in his direction, curiously. "Dream? Fresh? How interesting." G nodded as he stuffed his hands into his jeans pockets. "Overheard the whole conversation, actually. You know the kid, Felix? He was the guy who kept stealing those power cores at the Guardian's base. The kid kidnapped her and brought her to where he was living with the Classic Sans and Papyrus. Guess she somehow ran into Error and Ink and found herself living with Dream."

Nao laughed at that, smiling happily. "I approve then! Dream's a good guy, I know he'll keep her safe. I wonder," She hums as she looks up at the sky, her index finger tapping at her chin in wonder. "If Dream has realized how troublesome she can truly be. She does take after her father, after all." G eyed Nao, his gaze narrowed at her. "Isn't she related to those ninjas?" Nao laughs at G and smiles at him yet again. "The Star Clan- from the Universe of Soul Eater? Yeah, BlackStar is her father. She takes after him a lot." G snickers, he has only heard about BlackStar and how energetic he was. "Dream has his hands full then." "Indeed."

"Do you know how long it took us to find this Universe?!" Deadpool whined as he slumped over the table. They were waiting for their food, and Deadpool was starting to get hangry. "You didn't have to do anything," Reyes grumbled as he sat beside the whiny baby with his arms crossed over his broad chest. "Faust and I did all the hard work." Deadpool continued to whine, but he was easily ignored by the others.

"You're looking good, Nao." Faust said his smile wasn't exactly meeting the look in his eyes, though. "Feeling a lot better than I had, actually. I feel like how All Might looked." She scrunched her knows, her body ached suddenly, making her wince. "I seriously thought I was going to die." She gestured towards G with a smile. "G-man came to my rescue, though. He's such a great guy." G's cheeks turned a bright yellow, and he turned away to hide the blush. "Nice to finally put a face to the name. Nao always talked about you- we thought she just imagined you." Faust, Reyes, and Deadpool had never met G, but Nao always talked about him and how cool he was.

"Yeah, I'm not crazy." She grins. "You are to a point, though." Deadpool pointed out- poking Nao's arm from across the table. "You wound me, 'pool." "T'was a flesh wound, you'll heal." Deadpool and Nao laughed together- the others just rolled their eyes. "Nao isn't allowed to get into trouble. She's way too weak now-" G suddenly piped up, giving the three men a stern glare before turning it towards Nao. "She isn't allowed to lift more than five pounds and has to have someone with her if she goes out." Nao frowned- then pouted as she crossed her arms and looked away. Her cheeks brightened with her own blush now. However, anyone could see that G's words had hurt her- she hated being called weak.

"It's good to see someone taking care of her." Reyes replies, he still looked stern, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Nao. "She never listened to me while she was in the Guardians." "I did listen, I just didn't apply the silly rules you made for me when I went on missions. At that time, I could still take care of myself. Now, I'm actually disabled." It hurt her to acknowledge that too, and all of the guys could see it. "We're not here to lecture Nao." Faust says suddenly, saving Nao from any self-hatred she was feeling right now. "Of course." Reyes nodded and relaxed a bit. "About what we found-"

"Hey there, bruhs and bruh-ette!" Epic appeared beside Nao in the empty seat, grinning wide at the guests. "Couldn't help but hear you guys talking about super secret bruh stuff over here." Nao smiles and nudges Epic, affectionately. "Congrats on finding your one true bruh." "Thanks! Cross is my bestest bruh friend. Couldn't ask for anyone better!"

"Do you mind?" Reyes asks, sounding irritated now. "Oh!" Epic grinned and shook his head. "Of course not! Continue on, bruh!" Reyes glared at the skeleton a moment longer before Nao chuckled and gestured towards the skeleton. "He's okay, Reyes. He knows about the Arelangians. He'll be one of our biggest allies here." With an irritated sigh, Reyes continued.

"The Arelangians have sent out rewards for killing anyone who calls themselves Guardians. They're looking to slaughter all of us until no one is left." "We think they're scared of us rising up again and finishing the job- also, I don't think they know you're still alive." Faust continues for Reyes. Nao smirked at this. "How wonderful-" "And they won't ever find out, because you're not going on any more missions. I'm the leader of the Guardians now." Reyes snaps, pointing a finger at Nao who deflates and slumps on the table. Epic laughs softly and pats her back. "It's okay, bruh-ette."

"They haven't found this Universe yet, or the AU's connected to this. But, it'll only be a matter of time." Faust continues. "We need to be ready for them to show up at any time. I wouldn't be surprised if they've strengthened their soldiers by now. Time does run differently in each Universe, so we don't know how they're faring."

"What about Lily?" Nao suddenly asks, now looking concerned. "They don't know she's here either-" "Lily is here?" Faust, Reyes, and Deadpool asked in unison, all surprised to hear this news. Nao smiled brightly. "She is! G saw her the other day! She's made some new friends and is perfectly safe- but if the Arelangians show up and they see her, they'll try to kill her." Faust points towards Deadpool then. "Well, we were going to leave Deadpool here to protect you- I can see that he's not needed at your side." Faust gestures towards G. "We can send Deadpool to wherever Lily is. He knows her better anyway and can keep her safe."

"Just don't tell her about the Arelangians, not yet." Reyes warns Deadpool. "We don't need her freaking out and overthinking things. We don't need her losing her sanity again." Nao frowned at Reyes. He really was making sure they had everything planned out; Lily losing her sanity wasn't a good thing. Much like her father, Lily could go mad and end up hurting a lot of innocent people. "I won't let her do that." Deadpool sat up and gave a thumbs up- under his mask, he gave a grin.

Nao glanced towards Epic and smiled, "Do you think Cross could take Deadpool to Lily?" Epic grinned back and leaned against the table, his chin resting on top of the table. "Couldn't tell ya, bruh-ette. But, I'm sure you can ask Ink." His good eye light shifted to look at the artistic skeleton who stood at their table, looking awkward at first before grinning. "Heya, Nao! G!" Nao smiled happily, greeting the skeleton. "Good timing, Ink! Think you could deliver our friend Deadpool here to Lily? He's going to be her bodyguard for now." Ink blinked, his eye lights changing colors and shapes as he looked over the masked man. "Oh." He said first, then grinned mischievously. "Dream will be sooo jealous~!" Nao tilted her head in question, a brow raising. "What do you mean?" Ink grinned at Nao and explained; "Dreamy has a cute crush on Lily! It was love at first sight!" Ink clasped his hands together and held them against his cheekbone while he fluttered his eye sockets- Reyes, Faust, and Deadpool were stunned by a skeleton fluttering his eye sockets.

"How adorable!" Nao cooed excitedly. "Isn't he protecting her from his brother, though?" G asked. "Oh!" Ink snapped at attention, grinning yet again. "He is! Dream and Nightmare have really been fighting against each other lately, because Lily saved Atara from Nightmare's clutches- oh, you have no idea who I'm talking about- uh.. Underfell Sans' crush! Oh, you still don't know who I'm talking about..." Ink continued to ramble on, earning him an annoyed look from both G and Reyes. "Atara and Cross are friends," Epic spoke up, easily ignoring Ink and explaining to the four humans what Ink is trying to say. "She was caught up in Ink and Error's fights one day, which ended with her being kidnapped by Nightmare. She is a totally awesome bruh-ette too."

"-and now Lily is wanting to go hang out with Atara even though she's back at Nightmare's castle!" Ink finishes, his grin wide and eye lights blinking to different shapes and colors- G is quick to shove a napkin against Ink's mouth before he could vomit. "Good catch, bruh!"

"Ink," Nao catches Ink's attention while he wipes away any paint that had slipped from between his teeth. "Will you take Deadpool to Lily? Dream could use an extra guard while he's away fighting his brother, yeah?" Ink grins and strikes a heroic pose. "Of course I can take him to her! She's in my Doodle sphere anyway!" The three guests didn't know what that was, but Nao or G didn't seem too worried. "Alright!" She smiles at Deadpool then. "Get ready, 'pool. Listen to the skele-boys. They'll help you out while you're with Lily." Deadpool points his finger guns at her- "You've got it! But, uh. What about our food?" Nao laughs softly. "Food first, then you'll be on your way." Deadpool cheers before beginning his whining all over again about being hungry.

The food arrived a few minutes later, thankfully. The three guests were pleased with how good Grillby's food was.
