A Problem with Portals: Episode 1
Chapter 1 - Prologue: A Closer Look
Ben Tennyson's House, Bellwood, America, Earth, Summer, 2014 A.D.
Normally, people's days are not all that different when compared to each other. In theory, no one is an exception to such a rule not even the elite, or the protectors, after all life is a never-ending cycle, until it all just comes to an abrupt stop and everything changes. It all started on the would-be perfect day in the life of the now world-famous-hero, Ben Tennyson. He, who could have been called an exception to such a rule, until just the week that has passed was living days of joy and happiness. After all, Ben has just returned from the year long trip with his family, across the universe. Even so he felt that it was nice to be able to relax a bit after such a long time of fighting and exploring, he was only a year off of being called a proper adult now not like it mattered as he experienced way more in the past 7 years than anyone else could have, but as it is he has just fallen back to the cycle of ordinary life. He was bored.
"Ah well." the brunette sighed, "Maybe Mr. Smoothy can help me think of something not boring to do today." saying so the young hero picked up his car's keys and headed off towards the smoothie vendor.
Mr. Smoothy, Bellwood, America, Earth, Summer, 2014 A.D.
As he turned into the parking lot, Ben was surprised about the fact that on first glance, it was full. He circled around the lot for a couple minutes until he managed to find the only spot not occupied, or even if it was not the hero did not care anymore. As he exited the confines of his vehicle, he found it strangely interesting that he had managed to park next to a car that was exactly like his, the only difference being the paintjob. Wherever Ben had green markings the other one was covered in red instead.
"Could just be a coincidence." Ben muttered to himself, "Yeah, don't think so." he quickly disregarded the thought, replacing it with hope.
Ben walked up to the counter and ordered his favorite frozen drink, lucky for him he managed to snag the last of the newly invented flavor.
"Huh, maybe my day is turning around with this." he chuckled to himself. But as he turned around his smile quickly turned into a sad frown, to his dismay all of the tables were occupied. "Figures..." Ben sighed. All he could hope for was for someone to just finish and the chance to get a comfortable chair in the shadow of a parasol. That was when he noticed a round table with four chairs, only one of them occupied. The brunette did not pay much attention to the occupant of the table, but even so he hoped they would at least allow him to sit down. Upon closer inspection the occupant of the table he just intruded towards seemed very familiar.
"Hey, you waiting for someone?" he asked nonchalantly, in his mind he was prepared for a couple possibilities, one of them being refusal.
"Ah, no. Take a seat." the answer was so muffled and bored sounding, yet still polite, that Ben almost did not hear it.
'Huh, seems I'm not the only one today with a bad day.' he thought to himself, slightly smiling at the fact. That was when he started thinking, he felt a tad bit guilty for not recognizing the one on the opposite end of the table, they were not looking at him, that was a fact but it does not excuse his ignorance. His face screwed up in thought, causing an almost inaudible chuckle to escape the lips of the person in question. Initially, Ben blamed his travels and the adventure he had, as he had met a lot of people... yet this one person seemed different, like they have not met in a very long time, even if it probably has only been a year. As he went back to take a sip of his smoothie which soon became regular drinking, he managed to sync up almost perfectly with the other person. They looked at each other with wide eyes and chuckled for a bit. That was when Ben remembered. Both of their chuckles turned into frowns, and judging by their reactions both for a different reason. Ben eyed his calm opposition, with a hand over his Omnitrix. It was Albedo, his hair larger and a lot more unkempt since the last time they have met. Black circles almost prominently sticking out like he has not slept for months, sleep deprivation is bad news for humans, but maybe an alien was different, or so Ben thought. It surprised him to find his old rival in such a state, surprisingly he felt sorry. He lost his arrogance soon after they started their adventure, but this was still a feeling he was not used to when thinking about an enemy.
"I see you've been let out." Ben remarked.
"I see you are still as much a Captain Obvious as ever." Albedo responded sarcastically. "They cannot hold me in prison forever you know? I have not done anything this time around worthy of a lengthy stay. But I say, they could improve living conditions a bit." Albedo looked around the civilians, his eyes showing genuine sadness, causing Ben to do the same. "Dear old annoyingly optimistic Benjamin, can I not just enjoy a drink on the day I have been freed from my forced slave labor?" the white haired doppelganger let out a small chuckle, Ben did not notice at first his difference in tone compared to his usual arrogant one, "Though it seems it does not matter where I am trouble always finds me." his tone seemed sadder, almost melancholy, "I am simply lost in this world."
"Why did you come back to Earth then?" Ben pushed the matter slightly easing his hand from the device, "Trying something funny again aren't you? You even got the older body back."
"Where else to go Benjamin?" Albedo sighed, "On my home world I am an outcast, anywhere else I am but a criminal in need of disposal." he held his head as if to avoid crying, "Besides they just pushed me out here. The least I could do is become taller."
"You could ha-" Ben tried pushing the matter further.
"I could have what?!" Albedo suddenly snapped and stood up surprising Ben, "I am trapped in this blasted body no matter the age, my home planet has marked me as an immediate threat so it is more than fair to call me an outcast... And oh, guess what? Everyone I ever sided with betrayed me..." the white haired copy-cat sighed, "I have nothing left Benjamin, not a care in the world... Do your worst." Albedo did a slightly mocking bow as he sat down and continued drinking his smoothie without taking a note of Ben's confused presence.
"I am utterly confused right now." Ben sighed as he looked his copy straight in the eye, "What happened to you?"
"To me?!" Albedo was dumbfounded, "Excuse me?"
"You were always so arrogant and selfish... I guess it's just weird for you to suddenly lose all that going for you."
"As I have already mentioned boyo, I have no reason to be anywhere anymore." Albedo sighed, "My whole life is a mess."
"I..." Ben looked away slightly before regaining confidence, "I can listen to it... if you want that is." he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "Ugh, this definitely sounded better worded in my head." he silently scolded himself.
Albedo's eyes widened in surprise, before they regained their previous lifelessness and unconcern, "What would that help me Benjamin? I could go on for ages, you would just simply tire out." Albedo sighed, "I strangely appreciate the offer, but you are just not the... type to listen." as he finished his drink he stood up and started walking away. Ben looked at the empty cup he left at the table, before making up his mind and rushing after the confused wanderer. Before he could even put a hand on his shoulder however, an oval shaped light blue swirl of a gateway opened up next to the two of them out of thin air, causing both to look at it in surprise for that tenth of a second they had before it started what it came here for. Like a faulty vacuum cleaner it started to suck in everything in its path, be it organic or inorganic, however what went in could not be seen on the other side, wherever that could have been. This all was much to Albedo's misfortune, as he was the one standing the closest to the front of the portal out of the doppelganger duo.
"Oh dear, this day could not get any better!" Albedo shouted as he quickly found a parasol to support himself with for a short while, as his legs have already disappeared behind the swirling mess. His grip however has started to disagree with him as he started to slip more and more, and at what seemed to be the end he closed his eyes hoping for the worst. His arm however was caught with a strong grip, and as Albedo looked up at his savior his eyes widened once more in surprise. Benjamin Kirby Tennyson held on with all his might, in the form of a Tetramand, to both Albedo's hands and the closest light pole in between the tables. However both the pole and the fixed parasol were about to give in.
"You owe me a story!" snapped the deep voice of the Tetramand, dubbed as Four Arms, as he tightened his grip on the arm of his Galvanic copy, and started to pull him back with what strength he could allow himself as to not lose grip on the pole keeping both of them in this world.
"Who is it that changed exactly!?" Albedo snapped, bewildered, "This is not like that cocky child I used to know one year prior!" Albedo shouted to overcome the ever louder sound the gateway made.
"Humans tend to change dude." Four Arms would probably have turned red at the face from his efforts, however it did not show. "We all do."
"Still, this is one such action I have never expected from the likes of you." Albedo mused saying the sentence as hastily as he could, leaving Ben completely speechless and dumbfounded.
"I-" he started only for the words to just get sucked back in. Albedo on the other hand slipping from his grasp making him have to hold on harder.
"It is of no use Tennyson!" Albedo shouted trying to over shout the deafening sounds of the portal, "You have no use for me anyway, you should simply let me go. It is the best course of action to take, you and I both know that." this time the white haired teenager showed a genuine hearty smile.
"I'm not letting go!" Ben stated stubbornly.
"Ben," Albedo shook his head in disbelief, for the first time actually feeling concern for his copy, "Save yourself." he said simply as he pushed Ben off of him. "Still, I am glad I could witness such a side to you, stupid hu-"
Ben did not say a word as he turned back. He did not move an inch. He just watched as Albedo, with a lack of handhold vanished with his mouth moving as if he said some final words as hastily as he possibly could, and just as the teen disappeared into the swirling abyss the portal closed itself on its own volition, an action which left Ben speechless. He walked to a nearby chair and sat down in it, thinking about what just happened, holding his head in disbelief at his own inability, however he was conflicted as to why. Sure the Galvan was the cause of a lot of bad things that happened to Ben's teenage life, but on this day he saw something else in his archrival, something new and something different from the usual... Something sad. A lot has changed in one year, he might need to reconsider what he will do with his 'peaceful life'. But what comes first however... is that he is still owed a story.
He recalled the last sentence Albedo said before vanishing, still surprised at how much he was able to fit in before disappearing:
"I cannot believe I am saying this to you... I know how stubborn you can be Benjamin, I experienced it just now but do not try to search for me if I survive. I am not worth your time you dumb hero. Damn, I really envy yo-" the portal's closing finished Albedo's sentence before him. Ben's thoughts trailed around Albedo's goodbye... And he settled on helping no matter what, the problem however was explaining to his friends why he wanted to do so.
"Eh. It's me we're talking about." Ben shrugged, "I'll find a way to convince them." he remained in silence for a couple seconds, "But first, I have to stop talking to myself."
He stood up, walking past the horrified clients of the smoothie place, the ones that still remained that is, and headed for the car... Only to realize who the neighboring car actually belonged to.
Unknown Place, Unknown Time
A portal, similar to the one in Bellwood, opened up in the sky. From inside seemingly being forced out was a person with a close resemblance to Albedo, however there were some noticeable differences. His hair was spiked and a lot shorter compared to before, none blocking his view anymore. His eyes were a more vibrant shade of red as if they regained life and a new meaning, similar to crimson or the color of blood. Near him floated a scythe, its size almost reaching the same height as Albedo, it had a red hilt with some black and red bandages wrapped around it in a pattern. Three varying sizes of blades protruded from the top of the snath, the one on the top being the largest. After taking a very hasty look around himself carefully, he was surprised... By more things than one as that was when the Galvan realized that he himself was floating in air along with the weapon... Under him were three people, around his human body's age, casually walking towards what seemed like a pair of large gates. He started to fall with the only thing he managed to scream out being:
"Watch your heads!"
The white haired boy landed right in front of the three strangers, head-first in the ground in a way that resembled a '90's cartoon, with the scythe nearly impaling him as it landed a few feet away from him blades penetrating the ground however other than that, he had not suffered any injury. The other three were clearly surprised, two of them immediately rushed towards the planted alien.
"Who the hell drops out of the sky like that?!" the blond haired one with what seemed like whiskers on his face asked whist being on guard. Albedo moved his left hand in a way as if to signal 'Apparently, I do!'.
"I would've already told you if I knew who he was, don't you think so, idiot?" the brunette with fangs and red markings on his cheek sighed, "It does not seem like he's here to hurt anyone though, I mean with this 'attack'..." a smile hastily crept onto his face.
"Kiba you little..!" the blond was slightly enraged before laughing at the misfortune of Albedo, causing the other to follow suite. Albedo's hands showed a thumbs down however.
Whilst the two laughed uncontrollably the third one used what looked like sand to separate the ground and Albedo, making him able to safely leave his earthly prison, with a shake of his head sending the remainder of the dust off of his face.
"Apologies my friend, for my other friends' behavior that is." the red haired teen showed a small smile.
"I'm really sorry." Kiba said between a laugh, "But it was just so random! Isn't that right Naruto?"
The blond haired boy, apparently called Naruto finished chuckling as soon as he saw his friend glaring at him disapprovingly, he elbowed Kiba and immediately rushed towards the red haired teenager.
"Gaara wait! You don't even know him, and besides that just look at the size of that weapon."
"Now, that may be true but I cannot just leave him in a hole." the one called Gaara put a hand to his hip shaking his head.
"Well yes, there's that." Naruto nodded. "Now as to who he is..?"
Albedo managed to straighten himself out, stand up and dust himself off further, while the other three intently looked at him
"If I may ask, what kind of 'weapon' were you two talking about just now?" Albedo asked signifying the word 'weapon' with his fingers.
"You seriously think that you can fool us? I'm talking about that giant thing next to ya!" Kiba pointed at the scythe impaled in the ground.
As the teen looked to his left color drained from his face and he instinctively jumped in place, as he realized that it was mere inches away from him. He gulped as he turned back towards the group of three with a shiver walking a couple steps away from said item of danger.
"It does indeed seem that this is quite the predicament." Albedo nodded as on second thought he walked over to the weapon much more calmly than before, carefully looking it over. "Now this is new." he remarked with interest.
Gaara, being the polite one of the group, wanted to start introducing himself and the others, but Kiba cut him off.
"It could very well be a trap for all we know." the brunette declared, "Anyone can act stupid. Look at Naruto, he did that for four years and it worked out."
"Hey!" Naruto hissed at the other boy. "Can't you sniff that out or something dog-boy?" he asked sarcastically.
"First of all that's not how it works, that's not how any of this works. You should know that by now, in fact I think you do." Kiba declared pointing to his nose, "And secondly I don't feel anything about him. No chakra, no smell, no nothing."
"Oh, care to explain in detail?" Albedo asked overhearing the conversation. "I think I heard the term 'chakra', pretend I am a major idiot like you have just described, even if it was rude and could have hurt my feelings if I had any, and explain what that is to me?" he casually added to their conversation as he continued his inspection, only taking his eyes off of it when any of the three started talking. "As opposed to what I have just said, I do have feelings." he nonchalantly added as a bonus.
"Chakra is the basic life energy of our world, every person in this world has chakra to some degree. One who runs out of it will die. In itself chakra is required for even the most basic of techniques, mostly through the use of hand seals." Gaara started explaining the basic concept of chakra to the intently listening alien.
"Fascinating. Truly." Albedo chuckled, "I truly am in a different world... Though I doubt I should have mentioned that loudly. But why do I feel so alive..?" he asked himself, "This is a feeling not known to me... It is invigorating." he suddenly quieted down as the thought of Benjamin's goofy smile came to mind making him shake his head, 'Why back then of all places did you see the need to change you stupid Galvan... Could I have..? No. A firm no, that is all. You dumbass of a Galvan.' he scolded himself in his thoughts.
"Different world?" Gaara raised an eyebrow, "What do you mea-" Gaara was cut off by Naruto almost yelling at the two of them even if he was mere feet away.
"Is... This... Yours... Then..?" the blond asked panting heavily pulling with all his might on the scythe impaled in the ground.
"I have not had it initially upon my arrival," Albedo admitted, "However it does seem to be mine yes." Albedo nodded confusing Gaara even further.
"Why is it so damn heavy?" Naruto snapped throwing his hands exaggeratingly in the air wiggling them all the while.
"Is it now?" Albedo asked interested, "This is the first time I have seen such a weapon at all not just this one in particular so I cannot say much about its weight." the white haired boy walked over, looked over the weapon for the last time, then proceeded to pick it up with ease causing Naruto to almost literally drop his jaw. "My, are you sure? This is quite light." Albedo put the weapon down but it made a large thud even on the dirt which surprised all four of them. "Or... No that does not seem right." Albedo looked at his hands which started to shake from what seemed to be disbelief.
"What is the problem?" Gaara asked showing slight signs of concern.
"I seem to be stronger physically than before." Albedo put a finger to his chin, "Say is that boulder over there of any importance?" the white haired teen asked pointing to a large boulder not far from the large gates.
"I don't think so?" Naruto replied in confusion.
"I would just like to test something that is all." Albedo walked up to a boulder and faced it from a direction opposite of where the gates where facing. "Here we go then." he murmured as he pulled his right fist back and gently punched the boulder. No, more like he just touched it with his fist.
The boulder however shattered in place to countless little pieces surprising all four individuals, but especially the one who did so.
"I barely even touched it." he mused. "This is not just a slight increase in strength as I had suspected."
"Slight?!" Kiba snapped, overhearing his musings, "Dude you shattered that thing!"
"That just brings us to another problem that winded up upon my arrival." the white haired teen said as he walked over to the trio.
"And that would be?" Gaara managed to ask.
Albedo sat down on the weapon which looked to be quite uncomfortable but he did not mind, "This is not mine." he declared.
"What?" Kiba asked confused.
"This strength... It is... It is not mine. Physically I should be no stronger than the average human being, yet it is hard to deny what I just did to that poor boulder without the use of this... chakra was it?" he declared letting out a sigh, "This day just keeps getting better and better is it not? Or it depends on how you look at it no?" he sighed, "So much for being free of prison." he added inaudibly, not even Kiba managing to hear it.
"What did you mean with 'Before' though?" Naruto asked being more intrigued than on their meeting... after the laughing part.
"Care to explain?" Gaara asked. "I would like to hear as well."
"Oh, yes of course. Where should I start?" Albedo nodded happily, a feeling which he has not felt for a long time yet this is the second time this day that he does so... 'Genuine happiness eh?' he thought that this day has given him quite the great amount of opportunities to be happy. "What I managed to gather thus far, although you three are hardly going to believe a world I say I will still carry on, is that I am from an alternate world, yet I cannot show you definite proof yet. As to how I got here? I have and have not an idea..." the white haired boy sighed sadly, "I was spending my morning at a smoothie place, frozen drinks to freshen one's mind up, to freshen myself up as I had a not-so-pleasant day. Later on however a certain young person arrived, well young by my standards that is. His name is Benjamin, he sat down next to me. We were so lost in our own troubles that we did not even realize who the other one was at first interestingly enough, but then we started to process the information or so it seemed. We realized who the other one was, and despite being enemies, instead of fighting like idiots on a whim... I snapped at him, all of my deepest troubles just came rushing up, I guess I was finally pushed over the boiling point but he... He sat there and listened... Even so I never expected hi- He has never showed himself to be the type. We got into small talk, but I simply could not take it anymore. There were too many things at mind so I stood up and walked away hoping he would just leave me alone. He did, however the cause of my true problems today was something really unexpected for the both of us. A portal decided it would be fun to ruin my life even further when it just suddenly opened, and it started to suck me in. I could tell you in greater detail later on, when I actually figure out how to conjure up real proof... until then you can just think of me as an asylum reject. Thus I arrived here and those two laughed at my misfortune, for which I am still really grateful for. Oh and before I forget and continue to be Anonymous. My name would be Albedo." he sighed and scratched his head, "Too dramatic?"
"More along the lines of too hard to comprehend." Gaara mused, "Yet at the same time not so."
"Huh, how should I interpret that?" Albedo could almost see a literal question mark appear above his own head.
"Well normally, I get your concerns about why you think it would be hard to believe what you just told us." Naruto admitted, "But it's not like we haven't had part in things like that our selves y'know?"
"Yeah, Naruto and his teammate Sakura have been sent to an alternate world once, or so he told us."
"Well it might not have been the same, since that was caused by a genjutsu and all. Yet, the feeling is all the same." Naruto chuckled, "Guess that also checks off whether or not you have a kekkei genkai."
"In born ability, usually belonging to a specific clan." Kiba translated immediately what Naruto just said.
"Why would I have such a thing?" Albedo asked dumbfounded.
"Well even before you checked your strength and all, red eyes are quite the rarity in this world." Kiba admitted, "The only one I know of with red eyes and no power to accompany it is Kurenai sensei."
"Ah. So should I hide them somehow?" Albedo pondered, 'Strange. Some words they say are not in English, yet we are holding a conversation... Judging by their nature and the village behind me, I get the feeling that English does not really exist around these parts. Note to self, look into such a phenomena.' he quickly added in his thoughts.
"Nah." Naruto dismissed the thought, "If you don't go dropping out of skies again, I don't think there'll be anyone worrying over your eye color." Naruto put a finger to his chin, "Even though, I haven't seen your combo of appearance before. At least it won't be hard to find ya."
"So I became a signpost now?" Albedo sighed with a smile, causing the others to chuckle too. "Nevertheless I appreciate the help you have given me thus far."
"Don't mention it." Kiba grinned, "But, I'm betting you're gonna be in need of more help now."
"Oh right, I still don't have a place to stay." Albedo's eyes widened, and for the first time in a while, his stomach growled. Quite loudly too. "And it would seem I require sustenance."
The ninja trio let out a short laugh at what just transpired, much to the dismay of Albedo.
"Well come on then, let us show you around." Naruto grinned.
"Oh shoot, we haven't even introduced ourselves yet. Sorry guess we got too much into your story. I'm-"
"Kiba right?" Albedo asked, then pointed to Naruto, "And you would be Naruto, and you Gaara. I gathered your names quite nicely thank you." Albedo smiled.
"Hey, saves us the trouble." Naruto shrugged.
"You three are a funny bunch." Albedo chuckled himself.
"I guess our concern right now is to find you a temporary home." Naruto offered, "Can ya tell us more on the way back?"
"That would be helpful, yes. Also, of course as much as I can." Albedo nodded, "But I guess there is not that much to tell if I even want you to understand clearly."
"I am sure we will." Gaara smiled, "In time."
"I'd like to apologize for laughing." Naruto rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, "It seemed funny at the time." Naruto smiled.
"Ditto." Kiba replied
"I guess I can accept that." Albedo chuckled and picked up the heavy scythe as the four of them started to venture through the large gates. "I will probably get used to it."
Hidden Leaf Village, Land of Fire, Earth, Summer, 2014 A.D. (Earth years)
The large letters, at least Albedo thought they were that, read 'Village Hidden in the Leaves', Albedo blinked as he thought he saw the interesting characters turn into English ones for a second then immediately back, this strange phenomenon has happened a couple times afterward as they remained in English. Albedo put a hand to his chin in awe but shrugged it off as he was beginning to lag behind. 'There it is again. Well it is not like I mind such a helpful little phenomena, yet still I would like to know the cause of it. But first, food and shelter. Ah, whoops, I got left behind.' he mused in his thoughts.
The three boys started explaining how their world works in the most intricate detail they could muster up for Albedo. Telling him about the fighters of the world, the shinobis, about techniques and their culture along with every little detail one should already know. To Albedo's awe they really treated this small talk as if they were talking with the dumbest person on Earth or one with amnesia at least, down to the smallest detail. Then came their first meaningful stop, being the Hokage building, one of the reasons being that the three guides had to redeem a mission, well with the exception of Gaara who just came for a nonpolitical visit rather than official business, running into the two others who on their behalf were returning from a mission.
The Hokage Building, Hidden Leaf Village, Land of Fire, Earth, Summer, 2014 A.D.
Naruto entered the Hokage's room first, followed closely by Gaara, Kiba and Albedo in that order. The Hokage, as Albedo had come to learn, was a sort of leader figure and advisor to the village's residents. This Hokage was the fifth in line, the first female Hokage by the name of Tsunade. Upon their entrance she seemed quite surprised at their new 'guest', but not as much as the guest was at her. He has heard about earthlings over exaggerating details of the female body... yet to see the one in question with his own eyes he was awestruck, but quite obviously not for the same reason earthling males would be.
"So." Tsunade simply said only moving her eyes up from the papers she was looking at, "Who is he supposed to be? And why have you brought him in without asking me first?"
"I kindly let myself in with them, thank you." Albedo said with a giddy smile plastered wide across his face.
"That is a funny story..." Naruto began his story, disregarding Tsunade's glare aimed at his white haired friend, as he told the blond woman in detail everything that happened a little while ago with their encounter with the strange boy. Tsunade listened to the story quite attentively and even if she raised her eyebrow here and there eventually she let the group go with a suspiciously friendly look in her eyes which she soon turned back to her papers, deeming it more important of a matter than him.
"Am I the only one truly frightened by the look that woman just gave us?" Albedo asked the other four pointing back at the door. Kiba and Naruto both nodded in agreement whilst Gaara simply shrugged.
"We'll definitely hear more of this later." Naruto gulped in fear.
"I advise we not dwell too much on the matter." Albedo declared, "I am quite curious about this village of yours though. That is if you would show me around?" he asked.
"Sure. It could be fun." Naruto grinned.
"Why do I think I know where we'll end up anyway..?" Kiba muttered to himself as the four boys exited the Hokage building into the open city.
I guess the revise needed to be done sooner or later. Now I know that this may be out of the blue, but the first time I told you the beginning of my story I think I kind of butchered it which is really sad. It made me a sad Galvan, so that is precisely why I will try to re-tell it to you dear reader. It might not be all that different, I will put that out here right now yet I do hope it will be better understandable. Humble 'Thanks!' from Albedo. |
So there you have it! My journey that started it all. The little story that I tell you here is my honest life story so thank you young Earthling for taking time out of your life to read it. This shorter story will include the first two or possibly three months of my change towards the better me present in the sequel which too needs to be retold. Enjoy with care (If that is even possible.). I might make a mistake in spelling or composition here and there, but please do look the other way for me, I am not from Earth originally. Oh and if you find something to be in a mocking tone, that is possibly intentional, as I might not really like actions I have committed in the past. So on that note young ones, do continue!
-Albedo.
