Prologue 2 - They Came Out Of A Portal (Major Emotion & Personality Update)

Somewhere within the Heavenly realm, lies a huge Cathedral surrounded by cloudy, colorful, puffy grasslands, with beautiful gardens everywhere around it, tended by Low Angels.

Inside the Cathedral, is where the Great Creator of Light and Life, and its powerful Creations, are settling.

And at the moment, the Creator is glowing bright and currently concentrating on creating something, while they all are gathered for a meeting to decide the fate of the Prehistoric Reptiles, Which are also known as the Dinosaurs.

One of the Goddesses, known as Eliza, tries to plead with their Creator, that is seen currently floating high in the center of the Cathedral, “Please, M'Lord, reconsider this. They can change, we should just give these creatures more time!” She beckons to her Creator, stepping slightly closer to their location.

But then Another God, called Tyro, steps in front of her, interrupting her, “Quiet Eliza! Our Lord has already spoken, and the other Mighty Creators also agreed upon it!”

However, Eliza persists, concerned for the creatures' fate, “But some of them will suffer and die a slow death. Please, we must show them mercy Tyro!”

Just as Tyro was about to say something again, he was stopped by yet another God. Oliver, a calm and wise God, stepping in between the two to support the Creator's decision, “Enough you two, Our Lord wants to start over, the decision has been made.”

Eliza looks at Oliver, with a sad expression on her face, “I know Oliver but…” she then looks down to her feet, compilating.

Oliver sighs, then calmly talks to Eliza, “Eliza… these beasts won't change.” He pauses for a moment, then continues, “They have no future, and they will eventually go extinct by themselves. With our Lord's new intelligent Creations, they'll be able to evolve faster and work together better.”

Unwilling to accept the decision, Eliza continues to plead, “But-” But then Tyro cuts her off, his voice firm, “Enough now! Our Lord has decided, and that's final! This is what these things deserve for eating one of our kind!” At that exact moment, The Creator stopped glowing bright, and interrupts the discussion, “Hush now, please.”

The three Deities immediately bowed before their Creator after hearing their voice, acknowledging the command.

“Excuse us, ol' great Lord.” Says Oliver, “Sorry M'Lord!” Yells Eliza, panicked, “Yes Lord!” Shouts Tyro.

The Creator glides gracefully down through the cathedral towards the three deities, their presence both awe-inspiring and comforting, “It is time, The rock will now hit the planet, bringing those creatures to extinction in hopefully a few months.” The Creator then stops in front of the three deities, before softly speaking to Eliza, “Eliza, my dear.”

Eliza, startles as their Creator spoke to them, then she looks up to them and stammers out a response, “Y-Yes My- I mea- yes, M'Lord?” A suppressed chuckle came from someone nearby, witnessing Eliza's moment of embarrassment.

As Eliza attempted to discreetly locate the source of the amusement, the Creator then spoke again, a note of regret in their voice, “I am truly sorry my dear, this is the only way I could think of, and seeking aid from the Destructors is forbidden.” They pause and stop right in front of Eliza, their form illuminating onto the silhouette of the Goddess, before they spoke again, “Please forgive me.”

Eliza, now flustered, hastily bows once more towards their Creator, “O-Oh no, M'Lord! E-Excuse me for my impudence!” (The Creator is so kind... and feels so warm and comforting up close...) Thinks Eliza to herself, or as she thought.

The Creator laughs wholeheartedly, “Hahaha...” The Creator now in thought, (Does she not know I can read their thoughts when they think of me?) before continuing again, “Don't worry my dear, all is forgiven.”

The Creator then floats near to the center and glows again for a second and creates a huge circular light source high in the air for everyone to see in the center of the room, with everyone immediately noticing as it appears, “Now then, my children, let us watch the scene unfold.” Says the Creator for everyone to hear. The light source then forms a moving image, showing the planet we know as Earth, and the Huge Rock approaching it, “I am sorry, my Creations… But it is time to start over.”

Time passes as the Light Creator and the Deities watch at the huge circular light, as the Huge Rock approaches the planet.

...

Then all of a sudden, something happens!

A purple glowing light then appears between Earth and the Rock, slowly forming a straight line like shape.

A murmur then ripples through the cathedral as everyone exchanges bewildered glances, confused at the appearance of the purple glow between the planet and the rock.

“My Lord, what is going on?” Questions A God to their Creator.

“Is this one of the other mighty Creator's doing?” Questions another, weary of the other Creators.

“M'Lord, What is that purple glow?” Asks Eliza, looking at their Creator while simultaneously pointing at the purple light in space, within the circular light source showing the events.

“I don-” As the Creator was about to answer, he then swiftly got interrupted by Tyro.

“Look, it's forming into something!” Yells Tyro, getting everyone's attention to the things happening in the light source.

The purple light, which is shaped as a straight line with pointed edges, is now beginning to extend itself within the center, revealing a misty and more purplish light within, coming out of it from one the sides.

Drawn by the spectacle, other Creators appeared near Earth and the glowing light in space, out of curiosity for the mysterious purple glowing light, “What is this?” A voice rumbled.

Another Creator, Aquatic Colored, its voice high-pitched and bubbly like a hyperactive nebula, chirped, “Oooo! Fascinating, something is happening!”

A Creator colored in a shimmering turquoise light, also floated into the conversation, “Who Created this Portal?”

“Huh? Portal?-” Another cuts in while they are talking, “-Is this what this is?”

________________“-Portal? It's so huge!-”

The turquoise colored Creator sighs before speaking, “So no one then?”

Before anyone could respond, The high-pitched Aquatic Creator, bubbling with excitement, spoke again, “Hey looky, looky, Something is coming out of the Portal!”

A structure that looks to be made out of metal or something else entirely, lumbered out of the gaping portal. The portal itself continued to grow, stretching wider and wider, scraping against the edges of the portal, making parts of the metal structure evaporate as it touches the edges.

“This doesn't look good…” Muttered the turquoise Creator, a hint of worry creeping into his voice.

Another Creator, colored with an orange color, notices a resemblance, then pipes up, “Hey, Doesn't that look like something you can create, Metal Creator?”

The turquoise colored Creator of Metal studies the metallic structure emerging from the portal, before responding to the other Creator, “I didn't create that, but yeah,” He rumbled, his voice laced with a hint of curiosity. “The materials... it looks similar, but the design...” They pause while looking at the weirdly shaped structure, then continues, “Yeah, not something I'd create.”

The scene changes back to the perspectives of the Creator of Light and Life, and the Deities within the Cathedral.

“My Lord, Something Metallic is now coming out of that purple light!” A flicker of panic flickered across Oliver's face.

A God beside the Creator gasps, “My Lord,” They quickly flew towards the huge Light Mirror, pointing at a spot where multiple colorful lights are gathering, “the Light Mirror shows other Mighty Creators gathering near this mysterious structure!”

[modern_footnote]The Light Mirror is the huge circular light source with the moving image in it mentioned earlier.[/modern_footnote]

Seeing the other Creators in the Light Mirror, the Creator of Light and Life then moves away from the other Deities before speaking, “Alright, I am going to have a little chat with the other Creators.” Etched with concern, The Creator glows bright and then a shimmering portal materializes next to them, pulsating with a bright ethereal light. The Creator then floats through it, their energy form dissolving within the swirling vortex.

Moments later, the metallic structure, now more than halfway out, scraped against the portal's edges with a sizzling screech as the edges of the structure vaporized as they touched the portal's edges.

Then suddenly, another small white portal appeared next to the other Creators, with the Creator of Light and Life coming out of it.

Their voice was powerful and resonant, but also calming, “What is happening here? Did someone create this?” the question echoed through the vast emptiness.

A cacophony of bewildered replies rose from the assembled Creators, “Nay, we have no knowledge of this thing, by far none of us here has created this huge portal, nor this structure, so we are as baffled as you are.” Says the orange-colored Creator.

The Metal Creator chimed in, “It resembles the materials I create, So it must be a Creator that's similar to me who might have created this.” he muttered, his voice laced with growing disquiet.

The Creator of Light and Life's usually calm voice crackled with urgency as he said, “We must find the one who created this and tell them to stop bef-” But before he could continue, his words were cut short by another voice exclaiming, “Hey, look! What is that stuff oozing out of that metallic shell?!” The Aquatic Creator's voice echoed with curiosity.

What looks like Black sludge is oozing from ruptured sections of the structure, accompanied by gaping holes that appear to have been pierced from the outside. Not only that, Smoke billowed out, with flames flickering through some of the breaches.

A booming voice cut through the tense silence, “What- What is going on?” echoed one of the Creator's voices, thick with confusion and fear.

“Is that... thing... bleeding?! Is it alive?!” Another shrieked.

The Black Sludge can be seen oozing from gashes marring its surface, writhing and pulsating like a living thing. The structure is now more than halfway through the portal. With the huge Rock also approaching near, its collision course with the metallic structure is inevitable.

The Metal Creator flew close to the Light and Life Creator, before speaking, “This really doesn't look good Light! Do you think?...” They steadily spoke with a trimming voice.

Panic gnawed at the edges of the Light Creator's voice, “Everyone, listen quickly!” he bellowed, his words laced with a raw desperation. “We need to create something together to push this thing out of the way! Before the rock hits it! Now!” His voice echoed with a desperate urgency.

A wave of frantic agreement rippled through the Creators. Their forms, pulsed with heightened energy and glowing with intensifying light. A kaleidoscope of colors, intertwined in the cosmic expanse... Rock, wood, silver, metal – even the very essence of water and lava – coalesced from the combined energy, an unholy concoction fueled by sheer terror.

The very fabric of reality shimmered as the Creators unleashed their power, constellations momentarily blurring before solidifying once more.

Once The Creators stopped glowing bright, the monstrous mishmash of elements, held together by the combined might of the Creators, then hurtled toward the metallic structure.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Just as the barrier of elements neared its target, the structure with a final, agonizing groan, lumbered fully out of the portal.

And then A loud crack echoed through space as the portal shuddered and finally snapped shut, collapsing in on itself, leaving behind a swirling void momentarily.

After that, A surge of strange purple flames erupted from the rear of the structure, propelling it forward with renewed momentum.

The Aquatic Creator flared with amusement, as they witnessed the structure suddenly moving, “Woah, Look! It's moving! Some purple-looking flames came out of its butt, or I would presume that it's their butt, and now it's moving!”

A surge of frustration lanced through the Creator of Metal. His usually steady glow intensified, “No!” His voice boomed. “The Mess we created is not going to be enough! It isn't going to be able to push that thing away in time!”

Then it happens, A sickening scrape tore across the monstrous structure as it is being slammed with the hastily formed barrier of elements. Black sludge, teeming with a grotesque life force, erupted from the point of impact, spraying outwards like a plague of shadows. The combined elements shuddered, strained to the breaking point.

The collision then triggered a catastrophic chain reaction. With a thunderous boom that echoed through the void, the rear section of the structure, engulfed in the strange purple flames, ripped away from the main body as it got caught on by the huge ball of elemental mess. A fresh wave of the dark, writhing creatures exploded from the ruptured hull, spewing into the cosmos like a monstrous birthing.

Panicking, the Light Creator begins to glow again, before hastily speaking to the others, "We must create something together again, quickly!"

However... “It's too late, the huge rock is about to hit the structure!” Yells the orange Creator.

The Rock Approaches The Structure At High Speed and then crashes into it, and both the Structure And The Rock Breaks Apart.

You can barely hear screams and roars coming from the structure, Now bits and parts of both the Structure And The Rock Flies towards Earth, with the Dark Sludgy creatures also flying everywhere with some burning into nothingness.

“Damn!” Yells a Creator, frustrated, “We couldn't save those creatures…”

“No... that wasn't my concern...” said the Light Creator with a dreadful voice, “Those dark creatures, they are very dangerous...” Their light form dimmed with worry.

“Hmm? Why do you think so?” Questions the other Creator.

The Light Creator then continued to speak, “I can sense their energy. It's the same energy I sensed millennia ago when battling with the Creator of Dark and Death... Those creatures...” They paused for two seconds before speaking again, “They were created by that Creator.”

The light of two Creators flickered after the mention of the Dark Creator. Panic rose from one of them, “Huh?! Y-you mean that scary Creator that wants to destroy and conquer everything?!...”

The Light Creator then brightens their form to get the others' attention, “Everyone! I must beg for your assistance, please. These creatures will be very dangerous, and they will take over the whole planet if we don't stop them!” They beckoned to the Creators.

“Hold on! Will they even survive before crashing on the planet?” one creator questions Light.

The Metal Creator jumped into the conversation while floating next to the Light Creator, that's bigger in size, "I believe these things will. I saw how durable and resistant these creatures are when we fought alongside the Creator of Light and Life."

“Yes, that is correct, the creations of that evil Creator are also relentless, and will kill everything within their sight…” The Light Creator floated towards Earth, gazing at the jagged structure and the massive rock hurtling toward the planet. A heavy silence fell as the weight of impending destruction hung over them. Turning back to the other Creators, the Light Creator’s voice swelled with urgency.

“So once again, I ask—no, I beg for your assistance! We must create soldiers, forge powerful weapons to stand against the—” Before they could finish, a sharp voice cut through space, trembling with fear and defiance. “No!” Another Creator burst out, their voice shaking. “I... I can’t! I’m sorry, but I want no part in anything tied to that Creator!”

Another Creator floated forth “Same here!” They shout in agreement with the other “You might be greater and more ancient than us, but I don't want to get involved in another war!” Their form began to shiver “And... for all we know... the Eliminators could step in and eliminate us at any moment for just protecting this world against another Creator!”

The Light Creator floats towards the two Creators who won't agree to help, before continuing to beg for their help. "Please, I beg of you!" their voice cried out.

“No, leave us out of this!…” yelled one of the deviant Creators. They then flew into the center of attention of the others. “I am going to create my own world... any of you going to join me?...”

After a few moments of silence, the other frightened Creator flew towards them. "Sure..." That's all they said.

"What about you three?" asked the Deviant Creator to the other three remaining Creators.

The Creator of Metal was the first to speak. "No, I am staying here to help," they then flew next to Light as they continued. "I mean, just think about it." They stopped, then glowed brighter, creating a large, well-formed metallic hand next to their form that pointed towards the planet. "If this world gets taken over, and the Evil Creator returns after learning of this location," they then glowed again, creating a spiky circular form resembling an Eliminator, before pointing at it with their assembled metallic hand. "And if the Eliminators don't step in, then who would stop them from destroying and conquering other worlds? Or maybe even this entire universe?"

The orange Creator chimed in, "I don't think the Eliminators would allow them to go that far." They glowed, creating lava that poured over the Metal Creator's spiky, round metal structure before turning into hard rock. Then the structure drifted off with the rock on it. "But you are right, those Eliminator bastards won't stop some Creator from taking over just one world, or even a galaxy or two."

The frightened creator panicked. “No way! The Eliminators w-won't let them do that, right?” They flickered as if shivering.

The orange-colored Lava Creator laughs. “Hah! Who knows,” They then flew next to the Light Creator. “I'll also be joining in with the fight, I still have some plans with this world.”

“Fine, then you guys can fight them by yourselves. I ain't taking any chances!...” the deviant Creator shouted. Then, they flew towards the Aquatic colored Creator. “What about you?” they asked the last Creator in the group.

The Aquatic colored Water Creator expels some of its energy to form a dark, mouth-like shape, and then reveals what appears to be a protruding tongue sticking out. “Mleeeh, Go ahead you cowards, before I blow you away with my powerful water!” They shine brightly, creating a stream of water that flows around their shape.

“Idiot, it'll just go through us.” Says the deviant Creator, before sighing. “faaah, Fine, we're going… good luck you four.” They then glow brighter, creating a portal next to them where they and the other frightened Creator then go through. As they left, the Aquatic Creator then stopped glowing, the water they had created then instantly froze up to ice, and drifted off into space.

Light then captures the attention of the others who stayed behind. "Thank you. Now, we should hurry and get the soldiers ready!"

"Alright," said the Lava Creator. They glowed for a moment, creating an orange-colored portal with smoke coming out on one side. "I'll return to my domain in hell and raise powerful troops. They'll meet yours on the planet when they're ready."

The Metal Creator joins the conversation. "I'll ask my two friends to join in, and then my Creations will make strong equipment and metallic material to send for you three to use."

“Thanks,” says the Lava Creator nonchalantly. “Thank you!” says Light, very grateful. Both Light and Lava Creator thanking Metal.

The Water Creator, however, scoffs at the Metal Creator's offer. “Heh, your metal will just rust on my water elements,” They then quickly flew toward Light, as if they're a child that's looking for presents. “But I could make some soldiers with some skin on them if Light can help create some with me!” They float closely next to Light, their form smaller than Light's.

“Sur-” Light was about to respond to the Water Creator before being cut in by the Lava Creator. “If you create some with skin for the Water Creator, then I want some as well, if you don't mind.”

Light sighs before responding, "I'll give you all a part of my energy. After that, you will be able to create as much as you want, with no limits."

“Wowie you serious?!” shouts the Water Creator, flowing with excitement. “You can do that?!” also shouts the Lava Creator, Both Creators are baffled by Light's remarks.

“Yes? Did you not know you're capable of doing that?” Light asked, with some energy flowing above their form and then forming into a notable question mark.

STOP

Hiya! Your Guide here! Time for some info! *Ahem* Light is known as a Great Creator. Normal Creators become Great Creators after living for millions of years. They are also larger in size than normal Creators and have the ability to break off smaller versions of themselves. These smaller versions can then be sent to chosen Creators, where they are automatically absorbed, granting the chosen Creator the Great Creator's Creation powers. WITH. NO. LIMITS. Pretty cool right!?... Now then, back to the story!

RESUME

“No, how the heck would we know that we can do that?!” questions the Water Creator.

“Well, it once happened when I-” Before Light could finish again, Metal interrupted. “Creators, sorry to brag but... the world, in danger, dark creatures from an evil Creator, remember?” They pointed at the planet again with the large metal hand structure that they still had with them... the whole time.

Light snaps out of it and remembers the situation at hand. "Ah, right! I'll now lend some of my energy to all three of you."

“Wait, you don't need-” Some payback at last, Before they could finish, Light glows then breaks off three smaller glowing forms of itself, sending each one to the other Creators. The three Creators then automatically absorb the smaller forms and change color a little, turning a bit brighter. “-to… *sigh* haah, thanks.”

The Creator of Metal's color changed from Turquoise to Electric.

And the other two Creators' colors also changed into a lighter tone.

The Water Creator squealed in excitement and rapidly flew in circles for a few seconds. “ Eeee!” They then stopped next to Light once more. “Thank you!” they shouted loudly. “I'll be going now, Bah bye!” They glowed, creating a watery portal next to them, then hastily flew into it, their form dissolving, and then the portal closed after their departure.

“I'll also head out, bye,” said the Lava Creator as they flew through the portal they had created earlier, which then closed after their leave.

Light flies close to Metal, once again their form bigger than Metal's. Nothing but silence went on for a moment, before Light speaks. “…Thanks again... Metal, I am in your debt.”

“No problem, I'll always be by your side,” metal forms an energy-like line on their figure, resembling a smile.

“Now, let us not hasten any longer!” Light remarked. “We must stop these creatures, or they might lure the Creator of Dark and Death back into this universe!”

Metal deforms their energy like smile, before agreeing. “I agree, let's not waste any more time, so let's go!”

The last Creators glow and make the portals, they say their goodbyes and farewells, then go through their own portal.

Now the perspective changes again to life on Earth, where the Reptiles known as Dinosaurs are enjoying their lives, unaware of the impending catastrophe. A sauropod peacefully feeds on leaves from a tall tree, while other herbivores walk by a large lake, enjoying a moment of relaxation and quenching their thirst.

The scene then changes and goes into a nearby deep forest. You can see a few Raptors eating something. Upon closer inspection, you notice they're feasting on the remains of a Triceratops, enjoying the meal.

Their mouths are full of blood, the same with their claws, and the Triceratops and the ground around the scene are also covered in blood and guts from the Triceratops.

Then suddenly, a deafening boom can be heard in the sky, scaring the Raptors. Some run off, while others look around, wondering where the sound came from.

The scene then changes back to the sauropod and the other herbivores. They have also heard the sound. and the same happened, Some ran away in all directions, while others looked around, wondering where it came from.

Except for the first sauropod, they're looking right at where the sound in the sky came from. The view zooms in on the face of the sauropod and then closer to its eyes.

Within the eyes, a reflection of a gigantic structure on fire is visible, and it appears to be approaching closer and closer.

Many of the other dinosaurs spotted the structure now. Some of them ran away, while others just stared at it, frozen in place… Then, suddenly, CRASH! The structure crashed directly into the sauropod, squashing it!

The other reptiles attempt to flee or move but are also crushed in the process. The gigantic structure burrows deeper into the ground, and fragments of it begin to break off, plummeting and hurtling in all directions.

A large sharp structure part flies towards where the other Reptiles are running, and it is also spinning wildly, it then cuts through the reptiles! Slicing them in half! Blood and Dino parts fly everywhere, the structure then hits the ground slicing a straight line into it, but that doesn't stop it as it then bounces through trees and rocks, cutting them in half as well. It finally stopped when it almost cut through a massive mountain.

You can see some blood flow off of the metallic structure, and it is also covered in dirt and dust. The view now shifts to above the mountain, revealing more of the Metallic Structure and Asteroid parts falling to Earth.

Hours pass, and the final section of the structure collapses to the ground. Trees are ablaze, and there are large craters in the earth. Dead reptiles are scattered everywhere, some are mutilated, squashed, or just a gory mess.

Some are so what lucky to be alive, while others have only sustained injuries.

It was a sudden massacre. Some dinosaurs grieved for their dead loved ones, while others yelped in pain.

But the massacre only just started, as there will be more coming, very, very, soon. The scene now shows the massive structure that crashed first, the view is narrowing toward one of the craters within, it's getting closer… closer… and now there is only darkness left. You start to hear growling and then catch sight of red glowing eyes in the darkness, with gleaming pure white sharp teeth.

They Have Landed...
