[We begin the scene with Earth One Carl back on his home planet.]
♀️ *Sighs.* ♀️
💭♀️ I sure hope I don't have to encounter him again... ♀️💭️
*Walks toward Earth One Carl, but not angrily. Instead, she's completely confused.*
WHAT. ON. EARTH. WAS. THAT?!?
♀️ If you want to know, then... please stop your hatred for trans people. ♀️
*Growls.*
💢💢 I will not. 💢💢
♀️ What's even your issue with them again? You said it goes against gender order, right? ♀️
💢💢 Exactly. Men... should stay... MEN! 💢💢
♀️ That's... quite a black and white way of looking at things, don't you think? ♀️
💢💢 NO! Those born a gender are obliged to STAY that way! We aren't born a gender without a reason! 💢💢
♀️ *Closes their eyes before letting out a deep exhale, and then opens them up.* ♀️
♀️ And people don't transition without some form of reason, either. Have you considered that one such reason might be to gain empathy for women? ♀️
*Gasps.*
♀️ *Notices, but resumes.* ♀️
♀️ Granted, that's not the goal I had going in. My transition happened out of nowhere. ♀️
Wait. WHAT?!
♀️ Yeah, I know. I'm confused as well. However, I knew of the hardships women face everyday, but actually experiencing them in person... is so much different. In a bad way. ♀️
*Her eyes widen, and a hint of appreciation can be seen on her face.*
♀️ Women have it really tough. History hasn't treated them well in the past at all... It is better now, but there's no denying the lingering effects. ♀️
*Closes her eyes.*
You know what... I never had that perspective before.
♀️ That's what happens with a mind full of anger and resentment... You block stuff out. ♀️
💢💢 Urghhh... Damn it! Speaking of anger, I'm still offended that monster viewed us women as inferior! 💢💢
♀️ That's something we both can agree on. I heard him even say he viewed women as nothing more than child factories, and kept threatening me eternal torture. ♀️
💢💢 Now that's too far!! I hope that guy stays in hell forever! 💢💢
♀️ He is on eternal timeout. I sure hope he's using that time effectively to reflect... ♀️
[We change scenes to the banishment zone Earth One Carl created, which is beyond this multiverse.]
💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢 ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! 💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
My my... What a loud perfect rage!
💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢 Who the fuck are you?!? 💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
I am the creator of the Red Lant-
💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢 Scratch that. How did you even get here?! 💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
It's very simple. I felt a strong ripple from my universe. My first thought was visiting the multiverse, and behold, a blue and pink crack!
💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢 Then get me out of here! I WANT TO HAVE MY REVENGE!! 💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
By all means. You also have just the anger I'm looking for!
*Attempts to give Earth 616 Carl a Red Gauntlet, but it ends up shattering.*
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!? JUST WHAT AMOUNT OF RAGE IS WITHIN YOU?!?
💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢 THAT. SHOULDN'T. MATTER. TAKE. ME. OUT!!!! BACK TO EARTH ONE!! CASCADA!! 💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
Earth One? Cascada? If whomever wronged you originates from there, then I'll gladly allow your revenge there!
💢💢💢💢💢💢 Finally... 💢💢💢💢💢💢
*Makes a portal that succeeds in reaching Earth One's Cascada.*
*Goes through it without hesitation.*
💭💢💢💢💢💢 I'll have to kill that pest later! I suspect there's another seed here somewhere! 💢💢💢💢💢💭
*Starts running.*
*Watches from space.*
[Meanwhile...]
💢💢💢 He better be... God, I hate him so much! 💢💢💢
♀️ *Places their hand on Rebecca's shoulder.* ♀️
♀️ I don't forgive him earlier... Meanwhile... I also want you to reflect on your actions, as well. ♀️
*Closes her eyes, expressing remorse and also... conflict.*
♀️ Huh? ♀️
Urgh... I can't.. do... it...!!!
*Runs off.*
*Lets out a muffled scream from a bush, but to no initial avail.*
💭♀️ I should try locating Ashley... ♀️💭
♀️ *Looks around. Once near a huge bush, they feel it suddenly move.* ♀️
♀️ What the?! ♀️
♀️ *Digs inside, discovering Ashley.* ♀️
♀️ Oh. My. Word! ♀️
[Prior...]
Mom... just why are you so mean now?! Why?!?
You are really getting on my nerves, kid!
*Resorts to beating Ashley up with hard slaps and some punches, unintentionally making her relive a similar trauma, minus the r### and sadism.*
*Starts to cry.*
*Has a moment of clarity, realizing her actions are harming a young genuine girl. She spares Ashley by quickly taping her mouth up before she got loud.*
*Is then picked up and taken to a bush, where she's thrown in, now unable to get out.*
Leave. Me. Alone.
*Looks around, seeing she wasn't noticed.*
Thank gosh. Now then... to wait...
[Back to present.]
💭♀️ There's no way she did that... ♀️💭
♀️ *Uses their telekinesis to rescue Ashley, and then teleports in front of Rebecca, looking at her with huge disappointment.* ♀️
*Closes her eyes, and removes the tape off Ashley's mouth as she ran past.*
AGHH-
♀️ *Uses telekinesis to stop Rebecca's movement long enough to whisper in the ear they're pinching.* ♀️
AGHH-
♀️ She lost her real parents. Please. Treat. Her. BETTER! ♀️
*Looks at Ashley while gasping.*
Oh, no... I'm- I'M SO SORRY!!
Then please... stop being mean!
♀️ *Lets Rebecca go from the telekinesis and pinch, satisfied with her apology to Ashley.* ♀️
*Continues running out, starting to cry in shame.*
💭♀️ Meanwhile... I should focus on getting my body accustomed to this power... Which actually, do I even deserve it in the first place? Why me? A Cascadan citizen? ♀️💭
♀️ *Sighs.* ♀️
💭♀️ I know I'll definitely need it. But still... I don't feel worthy of possessing such a huge magnitude of power... ♀️💭
♀️ *Sits down on a bench.* ♀️
*Joins Carl along with Markus.*
Are you okay?
♀️ Not really, but thanks for asking. ♀️
No problem. That pinch you did... it reminded me of mom in her serious moments.
♀️ Really? Hm... ♀️
Yeah. And, can you tell me what's bothering you?
♀️ I just don't think I'm worthy of this. All I really am is a regular person from Cascada. These abilities... I don't feel like I've earned them. ♀️
♀️ *Sighs.* ♀️
♀️ And my earlier fears were made true. I did end up being made victim because of my sudden gender shift. Just... darn it. I don't know about being in public anymore... ♀️
Hey... Did you use that weird box? I don't see those gauntlets.
♀️ Yeah...? ♀️
What was in it?
♀️ I suppose some... strange bestowing seed or something. ♀️
A bestowal seed? Huh. That's weird.
Just an idea, but... perhaps you could change back into a male? It is a seed that bestows powers, so...
♀️ Hmm... Let's see... ♀️
*Tries to change gender, and succeeds.*
Oh! Oh, okay! Huh! Interesting!
*Lets out another sigh of relief.*
Now I feel a bit better. Thanks for giving the idea.
No worries! Hehe!
💭 Come to think of it... I wonder if there's more of them back in that forest... 💭
💭 I wonder how those things would react to a person from another multiverse... 💭
💭 And more importantly... how do I handle breaking this multiverse to the public...? 💭
*A big realization hits.*
💭 If I am to make it known as early as possible, then I need to fix issues around the globe first, starting with North Korea. Get Earth ready step by step. 💭
*Gets up, taking in a huge breathe in and out.*
💭 I wonder, just what abilities do I truly have right now? I hope I can speak their language... 💭
*Clears throat.*
🇰🇵 We come in peace. 🇰🇵
Cool, that's another thing.
💭 Did I hear him speak another language?! 💭
Well...
*Takes another deep breath.*
I'll be back, Daisy and Markus. I've got to see how these powers work.
Be safe!
Yes, be safe!
Thanks.
*Teleports where he originally found the bestowal seed from, which is in a forest.*
Alright... Just what I can do?
*Using his hands, he is able to make portals into other worlds and universes.*
Huh. I suppose I don't need this traveler anymore.
*Removes it off, and places the device inside his house through another portal.*
Hm...
💭 I remember being able to destroy technology... Could I also create as well? 💭
*Tries to make a multiverse traveler, and is successful.*
Great!
💭 Am I able to do the same with those... bestowal seeds too? First, are there more of them in the forest already? 💭
*Creates forest searching technology to help search around for any bestowal seed. Eventually, they all return, having found none.*
I guess not...
*With his hands open, he creates six boxes that each have a name. They are: Anna, Otis, Emily, Carter, Markus and Lance. He looks inside them, and sure enough, seeds are in all them.*
Perfect.
💭 I'll still need to physically improve Emily and Carter before granting them a bestowal seed. Speaking of which, I should condition my body as well. 💭
*He closes his eyes, and starts powering up after assuming a meditative pose.*
*Burst One.*
*Depowers.*
♀️ *Burst Two.* ♀️
*Depowers, and takes a deep breath.*
♀️ *Burst Three, emitting a stronger and more long-form aura.* ♀️
*Depowers once more.*
💭 Okay. I think it's time for fully powered and sustained bursts. 💭
♀️ *Burst Four.* ♀️
*Catches sight of the familiar blue and pink light.*
I FOUND YOU!!
Test.
