Zephrun’s Imperium

They were henceforth known as The Incompetent Consultant.

This ancient being had been Butt's nemesis all along!

The assassin had been hired by...

So he hired a consultant.

After the montage ended, Butt was almost certified superhero. But there was still a few things he had to do in order to truly earn his certificate.

A training montage followed.

Butt Venture now had to learn echolocation to cope with his loss of sight.

But he was robbed of his sight.

When he was caught, his punishment was...

The goal was to....

The upvotes could then be used as currency.

But they were still useful.

Star didn't stop running. I'm coming, Heather, she thought. Just hold on a little longer. I'm coming. Her surroundings passed in a blur. She wished she could run as fast as Ember. But she'd have to make do with what her human body was capable of. She was panting by the time she made it back to the ship. Oh, Heather, please be okay, please... Ember sat up and blinked, sensing a human signature approaching. "Master." She let Heather's hair slide through her fingers and straightened her posture. Star stumbled into the room to find Ember waiting patiently and Heather slumbering quietly. There were blood stains on Heather’s tank top, but hopefully Ember had healed whatever had caused those. Oh, why had she thought it was a good idea to let Heather out of her sight? She could be so stupid sometimes… She sighed softly in relief. Ember was truly a wonder and Star would be forever grateful to her for her actions today. The Destroyer brightened, Star’s presence making her feel at ease. “Master! I am glad you have returned!” Star smiled and sat down on the bed beside Heather to catch her breath. “Hello, Ember. I can’t thank you enough for your help today. I’m just sorry it got so out of hand. You did very, very well.” Ember beamed, looking away. She hardly felt worthy of praise, but it felt so good. Star’s words meant more than the world to her. “Thank you, Highness.” “You can call me Star, you know.” The Destroyer shook her head. “You deserve my respect, Master.” Star bit her lip. She didn’t like how subservient Ember was to her, but she’d have to deal with that later. Right now, Heather needed love and support. Star was all too happy to give it to her. “What happened, Ember? Do you know why she’s all bloody?” Ember shook her head. “I found her in the bathtub, unconscious. I was able to heal her wounds, but I believe she was bleeding out for some time. I… should have prevented this from happening in the first place. She was not hurt when I went to get you. Should I have stayed behind? I tried to contact you mentally, but you did not respond. I believe the dream branch was interfering with my telepathy.” “Ember, you did as well as anyone could have.” She rubbed her face with her hand. “The poor girl… Has she been unconscious the whole time?” “No. She woke up briefly and was able to apply the gel you instructed me to create.” “Thank goodness for that. I hope it helps her. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it earlier. Ember… Thank you so much for being Heather’s friend. I’m very proud of you. It takes a great weight off my shoulders to know what there’s at least one other person who loves her as much as I do. I noticed a few days ago when you stepped in front of her when Shadow was insulting her. You’re incredible.” Ember looked away, cheeks burning warmly. She nodded, feeling overwhelmed. “Would you like me to wake her for you, Master Star?” “Yes, please." Heather awoke. @BringerofShadows

Star scoffed. "Well, we'd better speed up, then..." She sprinted, lengthening her stride.

"Didn't Astral, ya know... cut off your head? Usually when that happens to characters they die..." Sophie paused, then whispered loudly, "How is he not dead?"

@Jaywalk Sophie's mouth dropped.

"Oh. Okay... Hi, mysterious footsteps person." She waved.

"Ooh, that's kinda creepy, who do you think it is? Oh!" She started whispering. "Should we be quiet?"

"No, silly," Sophie said, "your Author didn't Narrate what the sound was."

"Uh... what do you mean?" Granite asked. "I think he means Narrate that you fall asleep. Like" Granite fell asleep "ya know?" Granite fell over, asleep. "Oh. Whoops..." Sophie blushed. "We can timeskip though, right?"

These are great, you guys. I have to say, that last one is my favorite.
