X: I've had enough of this shit, man...

X sat up from the chair he was on and looked down at the variant of himself tied up with a rope of black and red energy, held down by two black swords, one greatsword and one shortsword. He walked over to the variant and kicked their side.

X: Hey asshole, I'm talking to you.

He turned them over to look at the vast city that was destroyed and set ablaze. Currently they were on a rooftop of one of the only standing buildings in the city, close to the edge of it.

X: I caught you burning this place down and shit, I've had enough of your shenanigans. You either tell me where your boss is and run along back to your dimension, or I get rid of one more variant of myself.

The variant glared up at him, a black and red eye in his right socket.

Chaos X: You can't kill me, the big guy in armor couldn't, and he was much stronger.

X: Unlike him I know how to kill an All Seeing Eye. Talk to me or I'll get rid of you... So either you-

Chaos X: Yeah yeah! I heard you dipshit.

His eye shot out a black laser that carved out a symbol on the ground, 4 lines all pointing to a dot in the middle.

Chaos X: That's the Boss's symbol, and that's all you're getting out of me.

X: C'mon! That's barely anything!

Chaos X: I don't f**king care! Now let me out of here!

X: Hell no, you're telling me more or I'm killing you

Chaos X: Kill me and you'll regret it.

X: No I will not.

Chaos X: yes you will jackas-!

X cut the variant off by stabbing a steel spike infused with Nova through the All Seeing Eye in his right socket, effectively killing him instantly. X sighed and took a picture of the symbol before flying off into space towards a ship which opened its doors upon his presence. He walked through the halls quickly, moving around the soldiers and attendants and into a black room.

5 White eyes came from the dark as well as s deep chuckle

Dark figure: what do you have for me today kid

X: Have you ever seen this symbol before?

Dark Figure: Hmm, why yes. It's been used a lot throughout the years but recently, a ship was taken down by the Paladin Association... Planet Kuvar 90.

X: Hey thanks Hunter.

The Dark Figure nodded and X tossed him and purple stone which he ate immediately, as if addicted to it. X quickly left the room and flew out to Kuvar. It wasn't a long trip and he quickly found the Paladin Headquarters on that planet and used his clearance to get himself to the ship wreckage that was brought in. There he stood in front of the destroyed and malformed vehicle along with other Paladins and clerics researching it.

Golden Paladin: well... it's new, and we saw some of the other "You's" flying in and out of it. So we immediately shot it down.

X: Yeah thanks...I guess? Yeah.

Golden Paladin: It's made out for some sort of material that was duplicated, our machines say so. That means it's rare material if worth duplicating.

X: Interesting, it's got that symbol too, like Hunter said. Let me call someone.

X pulled out his phone and dialed up Xnile, where Xia picked up and gave the phone to Xnile.

Xnile: Hello dearest Acquaintance. Your children are quite lovely company. It's nice seeing Xia do happy, I hope I can make her smile like that someday...

X: Are my children at your place?

Xnile: Your wife said she had some business to take care of

X; Right...have you seen this before, you're old and shit do you should. Here let me send it to you-...

Before X could react Xnile's shadow came out of the phone and materialized himself in front of X, causing Golden Paladin to bring out his spear and shield in defense.

Golden Paladin: Intruder! You do not have Clarence here!

X: Relax Golden, he'll only be for a bit... it's important to this case...

The Paladin nodded and lowered his weapons, keeping them in hand just in case. Xnile hummed as he tilted his head in suspicion before turning to X.

Xnile: This is the symbol of the Manufacturers of Xylone ships. Your Father's Division Specifically.

X: My Father's!?

Xnile: Didn't you ever check your stuff you got from him dimwit!?

X quickly took out his chain blades and looked at the handle, it did indeed have the same symbol... Xnile bonked him on the head with his staff before waving and travelling through his phone again.

Xnile: I hope that helps you kid. Otherwise you're a lost cause for this thing.

X: right...

He looked down at his swords again before taking a deep breath and putting them away. He knew something was up but why couldn't he think of something, anything! X shook his head and thanked Golden Paladin before flying off into space again to think to himself.

X: My Father's symbol...of all things it could mean... Scar's also hella old and he was close to my father so maybe I could ask him.

X made his way down to the planet Scar and him were both currently staying at and knocked on the door, only to no response for a while. It was on the third knock when he finally opened the door annoyed.

Scar: What is it!? I'm busy! Oh...X hey, thought you were one of those salesmen again, come inside.

X nodded and walked into Scar's house filled with Xylonic plants and planet-native nature, and sat down on the couch where Scar pointed to and left up the stairs for a bit. X thought to himself for a bit before Scar came back down and stood next to him.

Scar: So what's up? Make it quick, my wife's pregnant and I got to be by her side.

X: well congrats, and I was hoping you knew something about my Father's symbol, it was on one of the ships that's been harboring some of the variants of me.

Scar: are you sure it's Xyon's symbol?

X: Exactly sure.

X took out his chain blades and showed Scar the handle before he took out his phone and showed the picture of the ships wreckage and it was indeed the exact symbol. Scar thought to himself and shrugged before starting to walk off, stopping at the stairs.

Scar: I don't know about this one. Your Dad's gone, and I don't think his spirit's summoning other versions of you to f**k everything up. I don't think your wife's using it, or your kids, so your Father's symbol must've been stolen because someone thought it looked cool or something...of you don't think so then feel free to think of anyone related to Xylones.

X: Anyone related to Xylones...anyone I know...

Scar: Well feel free to stay if you want, if not then get out of here, Autumn needs me right now so I can't help ya.

X: Right, sorry I'll scram.

Scar nodded and walked up the stairs while X left and locked his door, flying off to get some rest as it had gotten dark. Before he had got home though his gauntlet rang off and he answered it, seeing Bulldozer staring angrily at him through the screen.

Bulldozer: Hey Buddy! You've got some explaining to do! Get over here NOW!!!!!!!!

X recoiled at the loud yells from his gauntlet but nodded and followed orders, opening a ryft and heading to the facility. He looked around a bit before getting kicked into the wall by Bulldozer and grabbed by him before he could react.

Bulldozer: Why are you stealing supplies!? You have your own!

X: What!?

Bulldozer: Don't lie! We have footage! And it's NOT Sora'z Ai V2

X; what...

Bulldozer: Look!

Bulldozer then showed him footage of what looked sorta like him walking into the supply room and sneaking past Sora. The person then grabbed a Rft gauntlet and made a ryft out of there.

Bulldozer: Fine proof.

X: That's not even me!

Bulldozer: you're the only one with orange hair here!

X: let me see that... Dude! I don't even wear that shit! Capes suck ass half the time...

Bulldozer: Half the time.

X: Wait a minute, look at the cape, that's my Father's symbol!

Bulldozer: So it was you!

X: No jackass!

Bulldozer: Who else could have your Dad's symbol? Your Brother?

X: No you-... My brother...it all makes sense now...

Bulldozer: Yeah it does... What makes sense...?

X: Why did he do it though...

Bulldozer; Am I missing something?

X: That was my brother! I remember now! But why...

Bulldozer: What's he want? Think of that, you've fought with him in the past haven't you?

X: Power...to be destined... Xylonic ways... I dunno man, the first time we fought was cuz of-... Tekai... Oh shit I gotta go now!

X pulled himself out of Bulldozers grip and blasted out through the Ryft and towards his house at full speed.

X: please... Please be okay Tekai!

Oh hell yeah this is amazing
