Headon, guardian of the first floor gazed silently at the carvings on walls of the small cavern he called home. For billions of years he watched patiently as the warnings which was etched into the walls by his own creator slowly but surely come true.

"So much has changed." He uttered quietly to himself as he smiled up dryly at the carvings, knowing that once again a great change would soon come to the tower he watched over.

For several moments the guardian just smiled to himself until darkening chills were sent down his spine and his stomach seemed to become filled with butterflies. It was a feeling he knew well, even though it was something that happened so rarely in his seemingly endless life which now seemed like eternity itself.

With a slight turn of his head, his theory of what was going on proved to be true. The Shinsoo in the area began stir and soon a body was materializing on the floor. "And now, a new story shall begin." He thought curiously, wondering how everything shall end, for even he did not know exactly how everything will turn out.

Headon began to survey this new irregular. Though he couldn't get a good look at the child's face as it was lying face down on the ground, but he was easily able to pick up other obvious traits.

This new irregular seemed to be a humanoid male youth with the physical appearance of someone in their teen years but appearances themselves could be deceiving. The boy had snow white hair and seemed to have a strange aura about him which felt odd even for an irregular. Even though he was clearly there, the child didn't seem to have any presence at all.

"How odd... I wonder what exactly you will bring to the tower child", Headon said inwardly as the newcomer began to stir. Easily enough, he hid himself with shinsoo so he could carefully observe the new irregular in secret for a few seconds.

"Ugh, my head... Where am I?", the irregular said groggily as he picked himself up from the ground revealing a young pale face which was highlighted by green eyes that seemed to glow in the dimly lit room.

Headon carefully watched the young man as he quietly rose from the ground and instantly took notice of the carving on the wall. For a while the youth stood ghostly still and watched the walls as if he were entranced. "Hmmm. He seems like a thoughtful one", he thought as he deciding to make his presence known, Headon stepped out from the veil of shinsoo he created and began to speak in his usual welcoming yet amused voice.

"Wondrous, aren't they? Sometimes I too find myself hypnotized by them myself "

Unfortunately, the reaction Headon was expecting turned to be the exact opposite as the child shouted the word 'ghost' at him in a shocked tone before turning around and launching a small green blast of shinsoo at him.

"Ghost?" The guardian thought, slightly amused as he wondered how he could be considered a ghost. "Well, no matter. I'll just block it", he concluded as he created a shield of shinsoo. But just as his predecessors, the irregular shocked him which was no easy feat as the green blast the child fired at him seemingly ate right through his shield.

"Impossible", the guardian muttered quietly to himself as he effortlessly swatted the odd green energy away with his ancient staff. Though he expected the energy to bounce away upon making contact with his staff, it just clung to it in a now gooey substance. "…... Interesting ", he said aloud as he investigated the goo.

Sadly, for the curious guardian, he didn't have much time as the newcomer seemed to be gathering more of that strange energy to assault him with. Headon instantly went into a more diplomatic personality he developed over his long life, wanting to calm down this new irregular. Not because he was afraid, but more that it would be a shame if he had to harm a young irregular.

"Dear child, there is no need to attack me. Trust me when I say I mean you no harm to you "

The irregular just stared at him cautiously for a few moments before dispersing that odd energy he was threatening Headon with. "Hmmm. it seems to be part of his body itself ", Headon observed as the energy seemed to disappear into the youth's body.

"So, you're really not a ghost?" The boy questioned, gazing at the guardian warily.

Headon just chuckled amusedly as he heard the question before replying, "No my dear irregular, I assure you that I'm no ghost... Besides ghosts don't truly exist in a physical form."

"Not true, they definitely do exist in the physical world", the irregular huffed out, obviously having a different point of view on the matter.

"Well, I suppose I'll just have to take your word for it young man. Now I believe introductions are in order. I am Headon, Guardian of the first floor of the tower. It's lovely to meet you honored irregular. " He said majestically before performing a curt bow.

"Tower?" the unnamed irregular breathed out, sounding relieved. "I made it." He said quietly, with a faraway look entering his eyes

"Are you okay Mr...? ", Headon questioned as he gazed at his guest. For a while the question went unanswered until the person in question gathered himself and answered in a hollowed voice.

"Daniel... Danny Fenton and I'm fine. Thanks for asking Mr. Headon."

Though Headon gazed at his guest with sympathetic eyes, deep down inside he less affected than he may appear. Why should he pity someone he barely knew? People suffer, that's just a well-known fact of life within the tower. Why exactly should he care about one child's pain?

"Well Mr. Fenton, I graciously welcome into the tower."

"What exactly is the tower?"

"Wonderful question Mr. Fenton! The tower is many things. It's a place where dreams come true and where gods are born, yo- "

"Gods?", Danny sputtered out interrupting Headon's speech.

"Oh? Are interested in Gods Mr. Fenton? ", Headon questioned

"Well... only if they have the power to bring the dead back to life.", the irregular said quietly. His voice slightly above a whisper.

For several seconds Headon feigned the act of thinking before bursting out saying,"Ahhh!"

"So, you do know someone!? Please allow me to meet them!"

"Well I suppose I could help you meet that person but that would be unfair to the rest of the inhabitants of the tower Mr. Fenton. As a guardian of the tower, I must maintain absolute neutrality..." Headon stated as he carefully watched the desperate look in the eyes of Danny before relighting a fire that was there moments ago. "But if you climb the tower, I'm sure you meet such power beings or who knows you might be able to attain the power you seek yourself because everything exists at the top of the tower"

"Everything?", Danny asked hopefully, though he seemed a little doubtful. "If the power I seek really exist please allow me to climb the tower Mr. Headon.", Danny asked, nodding his head respectfully.

"Are you sure? The process of climbing the tower is a dark and dangerous path. Not many can truly get to the top, most die on the journey. Some even say that it's an impossible goal. Are you sure you wish to take part Mr. Fenton? I'd hate for a nice young man like you to lose their life in the attempt. "

"Don't worry Mr. Headon. Even if everyone tells me it's impossible, I'll make it possible. So please allow me to try, I'll do anything. "

"Okay Mr. Fenton, I'll give you a chance to go up the tower. But before we start, I have something for you.", Headon said as he pulled out a small orb seemingly out of nowhere and allowed it to float over towards Danny.

"That is a pocket, it's quite a nifty device used within the tower that comes with several useful functions. Though one of the most important features for people climbing the tower would be the translator. Not everyone within the tower will be able to understand you as I do, so the pocket on will automatically translate any language to your own. So, if you'd please, just give it a slight touch with your finger to activate it. "

Quickly doing as he was told; Danny activated the pocket becoming slightly shocked at how the dark orb instantly lit up brightly before turning back to it dull dark color.

"Wonderful, now if you could repeat the words 'invisible mode' the pocket will be obscured from sight and if you do the opposite the pocket will appear again "

"Wow... Amazing", Danny said aloud obviously impressed with how high-tech things seemed to be in the tower

"Yes, it's is quite amazing. Now I believe that we're able to press on with your testing process Mr. Fenton"

"Test? As in math test?", Danny questioned.

"Heh, oh no Mr. Fenton, today we won't not be testing your mathematical capabilities. We'll just be taking a standard test which is required within the tower to continue climbing."

Danny sighed in deep relief as if a math test could be the worst thing possible. "Phew! You scared me for a moment. I can't even pass high school calculus without a study session. I don't even want to think about having to attempt whatever crazy tower math you guys have."

Headon just silently swallowed his amusement at the child's words before raising his hand causing one of the walls raise revealing the largest fish Danny had ever seen in his entire life. "This my dear boy is a white steel eel. It's one of the many creatures of the tower.", Headon paused letting the irregular get a good sight of the shinheuh.

"Now let's begin. I think I'll give you a rather simple test since your visit was quite unexpected. If you look closely within the tank behind the steel eel there's a balloon that was busted not too long ago. If you can bring me back the deflated balloon within three minutes, I'll send you up. Though please be careful Mr. Fenton, for some odd reason my pet seems to be in a rather nasty mood today.", the Rabbit voiced out as he smiled to himself.

"Simple my butt", the Irregular thought to himself as watched the odd-looking rabbit like creature who was now standing off to the side watching intently at scene that was about to unfold.

Taking a final deep breath to prepare himself for his battle, Danny began to float midair and then took off flying towards the steel eel with impressive speed. Oddly enough as the irregulars speed picked up, his legs began to fuse's together and began to take form of a tail.

"Hoh! That's an interesting skill. It seems that this one is nothing like the other two. But let's see if he can get pass the eel with his speed.", Headon voiced out loud, slightly intrigued at the towers newest irregular's skill set.

Headon was quite perplexed as he watched Danny fly right into the jaws of the large shineuh. "That was uh... very anticlimactic.", he said as the steel eel snapped its mouth shut cruelly. Then suddenly the irregular emerged from the body of the white steel eel completely unharmed, looking transparent.

By the time the eel had figured out what had occurred, Danny had already picked up the deflated balloon and was already on his way back. Headon just narrowed his eyes slightly, judging the abilities being displayed by this strange new irregular. Having traveled all over the tower collecting regulars and testing other irregulars who were chosen by the tower had caused him to be quite knowledgeable about special powers and unique abilities. But the ones he was being shown today had to definitely be some of the most fascinating.

"Heh. Irregulars truly are wonders...And terrors. I sincerely welcome you into the tower child", the guardian thought to himself as he watched Danny cross the threshold, cementing his victory in rather stunning time.

"My, my, my. You sure are something Mr. Fenton. As we agreed, I shall now send you up to the next floor. I wish you luck on your journey across the tower and pray we meet again someday.", and with a swipe of his staff the irregulars body began to be covered with the same blue hue he was engorged in when he entered the first floor not too long ago and with a flash of light he was gone.

For only god knows how long, Headon just stood there pondering what exactly would become of the three children he sent up to climb the tower today. All three of them unaware of the unknown fate the tower has chosen for them. Though even he did not know what was in store for them, what he did know was that with three irregulars climbing the tower at the same time, surely unprecedented things will be occurring soon.

"Well I suppose even I'll have to wait and see what happens", he said to himself, his voice echoing within the room until another voice joined it.
