Chapter 1

In a far off universe, one billions of miles away from our own, there was very little life. Only a few planets existed in the entire universe, all floating around the very few stars that existed. Most of the universe consisted of darkness. None of the worlds knew there were any others out there.

One of them sat around a massive orange star, sitting very close and flying around at a speed so fast it was a blur to the ***** eye.

On the planet, the ground was all barren sand so hot it was almost a liquid, creating massive oceans of liquid sand with waves moving throughout.

There were large stretches of forests, trees stretching hundreds of miles into the air with trunks as hard as metal and leaves as thick and stiff as boulders.

A white and golden ship in the shape of a coffee bean suddenly came careening out of the sky, crashing into one of the forests and bouncing off of the thick and unbreakable tree trunks before the ship crashed violently to the ground, sending debris high into the air before it all came quickly crashing back down.

The ship sat silently, the front part stabbed into the ground and the ship near vertical.

A panel came flying out at a high velocity, but the gravity very quickly brought it down into the ground.

A human shaped figure emerged wearing all black highly advanced armor that was skin tight. Gold and white lines ran all along the outfit, meeting into a white dodecagram star that covered the entire chest. Their entire face was covered by a thin black mask with reflective glass on it, like a mirror. The person was slender and tall, yet it was obvious there was muscles underneath the skin tight armor.

A single twig snapped as the figure’s arm shot up, a golden glowing circle appearing and floating above the wrist with another floating over the elbow and two more equidistant between them, four rings spinning around at different rates with the first and third spinning one way while the other two spun the opposite direction. Each ring was the exact same size with different symbols inside of them, barely visible as they spun. The figure moved their arm along very slowly as they slowly turned in a circle to see all of their surroundings. The figure continued to turn slowly, observing everything they could closely.

Out of nowhere, a black arrow came flying in through the trees and bushes. The arrow was made from the tree bark, but the second it hit the figure’s arm the entire arrow completely shattered. The figure snapped into the same direction as all four rings suddenly began to spin at a rapid pace, a ball of bright yellow energy suddenly firing out near the speed of sound. The air flying past made all of the bushes shift while the trees barely reacted. The ball burst and disappeared into thin air as soon as it hit something. The figure quickly made their way over, running mostly silently and fluidly as they jumped over bushes and large tree roots sticking out of the ground.

They found something laying on the ground.

A massive figure nearly double their height was laying on the ground with burns stretching from their neck and shoulders down to their waist. They were in a human shape, but with drastically different proportions. The neck was incredibly short but thick, connecting to very broad shoulders. The arms and legs were both very long and slender, almost like tree branches. Their hands had three large fingers that could bend either direction while the feet had six toes all small and thick.

They had painfully bright blue skin and deep purple, black, and red paint creating intricate patterns all over their body. Their skin was tough and covered in scales, except they were each the size of a single grain of sand. Their face was flat and had a single long black braid of hair that went from their forehead, back over and down to their thighs. They were only wearing strange animal hides of every possible color that covered them from their chests down to their knees.

The being looked up at the armored figure with piercing black eyes. Their mouths opened to show sharp teeth and no visible tongue.

The thing began to speak in a language that involved lots of clicks and grunts, but the armored figure didn’t seem to understand as they stood. The golden rings finally disappeared when the figure suddenly turned and walked away.

The injured creature was laying on the ground and stared up at the blanket of leaves covering them in shade, blocking the scorching heat from reaching them. Their eyes slowly closed and their body went limp.

The armored figure marched their way back to their ship, looking over the damage when they heard another noise. Their arm began to glow with the four rings reappearing, but they continued to look over the ship.

A twig snapped as the figure quickly turned, firing another ball of energy that dissipated as soon as it hit something. The figure stood in complete silence, carefully turning to look at their surroundings.

From a bush, a small creature jumped out and ran over to the figure, but it didn’t look threatening.

It was shaped like a shrimp, covered in light gray fur with three long legs on either side ending in feet with five digits. The creature just barely reached the figure’s ankle from the ground as it ran around quickly. The figure lifted their arm close to their chest as their other hand slid across it, the rings all merging together before creating a long rectangle that ran parallel with her arm, pulling up what looked like a computer screen with multiple windows open. The figure lifted the creature up slowly and held it in her free hand as the rectangle scanned over the creature, filling in all sorts of information. The rectangle suddenly came up with a large error message.

The figure’s shoulders lifted then dropped, as if they let out a silent sigh. The rectangle changed back into four rings, but this time only two of them spun quickly before a short little blue ball shot out and hit the creature, but this time it dissipated into a cloud of blue smoke. The creature sniffed it before passing out into a ball on the figure’s hand. The figure went over to the ship, climbing in and walking over to the pilot seat, a large white chair that sat low inside the ground and didn’t reach up to the console.

The figure sat the creature on the chair, then went back outside, looking over more of the damage. They pulled up the rectangular display yet again, going over schematics of the ship and pressing buttons all over. As she tapped them, the ship itself began to move and shift around like an invisible force was moving it around. The ship suddenly lit up and pulled itself out of the ground, floating just above with a very subtle and quiet hum. The figure jumped up through the open panel before typing more, the panel that flew off suddenly flying from where it was and reattaching itself.

The figure went to the chair as it suddenly lifted from the ground and floated between the ceiling and floor. The figure lifted the creature up and sat down, the chair softly bouncing from the weight. The figure held the creature in their lap and outstretched their arms, the console lighting up with all sorts of displays and screens. The figure typed in a set of coordinates.

0,0.

The ship floated up slowly until it broke through the heavy and strong leaves, then suddenly blasted off with a massive sonic boom straight into the air.

The ship continued to fly very quickly straight through space, passing through so much darkness when it suddenly pressed against an invisible wall that the ship was struggling to push through. The figure used both hands and pushed them both forward, using all of the boosters at maximum power until it finally burst through.

All of a sudden, there looked to be infinite, massive bubbles filled with glistening and twinkling lights. The ship floated silently as the figure looked over all of the bubbles, floating around motionless.

Every bubble looked like an entire universe floating alone.

The ship continued to fly when it slowly turned to go around one of the large bubbles. As they went around, the figure turned to notice two of the bubbles touching, the space where they were giving off a blinding white light.

The figure kept staring, then waved their hand around when a small screen came up, zooming in on the sight. It suddenly snapped and clicked, taking a picture before it quickly went into a file of more pictures. The lighting was dimmed just enough to see a tiny pocket of space between the two universes, with such strong gravity that light struggled to escape, but the pressure and density was so high it was like a white star being crushed and shooting out its light.

The ship continued on through space, passing by nearly an infinite set of universes. Some sat alone, while others were touching with the same blinding lights shooting out.

As the ship went around another bubble, it revealed a massive white compound floating on a collection of rubble. It was similar to a large white castle, with a single massive tower ending in a dome sitting in the middle. The rest was a large square going around, the white walls covered in dark blue and black windows that took up more space than the actual materials. The ship continued to fly before landing on a piece of rubble. The figure turned everything off and carried the creature in their arms as they left the ship, stepping out into the silence and landing on the piece of rubble. More rocks came floating over to create a pathway the figure used, jumping rock to rock until they stood in front of the massive building. All around them was the massive expanse of universes sitting inside bubbles, but there was no sound at all during the travel to the large building. Two massive white rectangular doors slowly open up, the figure stepping inside.

Inside looked like an M.C. Escher painting. There were stairs and bookshelves everywhere that could be seen that were all constantly shifting around. Massive all white bookcases holding white books all labeled. The figure continued to walk in their full armor carrying the creature through shifting walkways made of glass, able to look down to see more cases and walkways. They looked up and saw even more. People wearing the same armor as them. People wearing large white robes. Robots attached to bookcases quickly moving shelf to shelf as if searching for specific things.

The figure kept walking, heading straight while everything moved around them.

They spotted a small pair of doors creating an oval built into the wall. They stepped through and saw a single white desk with a person sitting behind it wearing large white robes. They looked up with piercing white eyes and smiled.

“W-L-D-S-T-R-One-Four-Four-Seven, You have returned from your mission. Anything to report?” They asked.

The figure softly placed the creature on the desk, their mask suddenly disappearing from their head and seeming to move down into the neck and shoulders, as if it was part of the armor. Their skin was pale with chin length blonde hair, one bright blue eye and one bright green eye, and a soft jawline. Their face looked more feminine, but not overly leaning one gender or another.

“Unidentified creature found in Universe 2446. Thinking it may be a glitch, but I brought it back here for tests.” They said.

The person sitting at the desk looked over the creature, using a small piece of silver to lift limbs and roll it over.

“Quite an interesting find. We will take it to the lab right away. Would you like for us to send you updates?” The desk worker asked.

“Just send me the finalized file when you have it.” They replied.

The desk worker nodded and grabbed the creature, placing it on their desk and typing away on a white keyboard when the creature suddenly disappeared.

“Any other missions?” W-L-D-S-T-R-1-4-4-7 asked.

“Not at the moment.” The worker responded.

“Inform me when you get one, understood?” W-L-D-S-T-R-1-4-4-7 asked.

“Of course.” The worker replied with a smile.

W-L-D-S-T-R-1-4-4-7 turned and began to walk towards the doors, the mask suddenly moving from the rest of the armor and reforming over their head.
