Good night everyone!! It is currently 1:09 am in my corner of the world on a Monday but gosh darn it I haven't written in a hot minute and things are about to go down!! We have a 1,686 word chapter today including this- and boy does it feel good to have my details back from the prologe, I usually can't write them when its 3rd person so this is new.

Anywayyy- what I really wanted to say is that the way I write and my plots hint at things a longgg long time in advance. And I will say a major plot point has already been hinted at before this chapter. And im talking a MAJOR one. The one that litterly will flip the intire book on its head and will definitely come out of left field if you dont know what's happening.

Its just the way I write, I've had people go crazy in the comments on my books before about why I'm suddenly throwing in a curve ball without any kind of warning, all my curveballs have subtitle details in the meany chapters before it happing, and even when i explan plot points to some people they still get slammed out of left field- ᥴꪮꪊᧁꫝᥴꪮꪊᧁꫝꪶꪊꪀꪖ𝕣ꪖꪀᧁꫀꪶꪶꪮꪜꫀꪗꪮꪊᧁꪊꪗડᥴꪮꪊᧁꫝ

So all I can say is be on the look out for details that seem out of place or ones that contradict details said before.

Ps. There's contradicting details in this chapter~

Anyway wanted to give everyone a heads up because this is a wild ride of a book that is going to go one for a while-

With that being said I hope you injoy today's chapter of 𝕎𝕙𝕠 𝔸𝕞 𝕀!!

"ALEX!!" A voice screamed into the howling wind as they ran. "ALEX-!! CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME!?!" They stoped to listen for a response before screaming again as he ran, "ALEX!! SABRE!! WHERE ARE YOU!?!" The galaxy haired steve screamed again searching desperately for his friends.

Galaxy had gotten lost inside the maze of canyons just as the wind started instently losing his way no longer sure he was going in the right direction. He could only go in the direction of the energys epicenter, but even then the chances of his friends being there were slim.

'Damm it!" he screamed again, angry that he possibly just lost his friends for good. "Why can't I do anything right?!?" The starry steve yelled grabbing at his hair yanking out stands from pulling to hard, collapseing on his knees as his cape swerled around him from the channeled wind. "Why!?!" He screamed holding his head in his hands. "Why can't I do anything right?!" Galaxy cried to the wind hot tears welling up in his golden eyes.

"I-i couldn't fix the infection a-and basically ran away-!" He tugged at his hair more, "why did I do that?! I removed myself from the intire timeline! Where I knew that a second there could very well be generations-!" Galaxy held himself tight, "i-if it wasn't for sabre... i whould still be there..." the purple steve sniffled tears running down his face, "i-if it wasn't for sabre I whould have been dead GENERATIONS AGO-!" He screamed desperately chest tightning to the point he could barely breath, "AND I MAY NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN TO THANK HIM-" Galaxy crumbled to the gound hideing in his cape, tears streaming down his face, letting all his unchecked emotions and feeling crash down on him as a deathly cold currled around his very soul making him want to stay there forever and drown, not move forward another step.

Galaxy hyperventilated feeling the cold clammy feeling spread across his skin like an rash from and infection. He started to panic Scratching at himself desperately trying to get rid of the feeling takeing over him.

Then there was a hand on his sholder.

"Galaxy steve you dummy..." a all to familiar voice snapped him out of it making him stop scratching and spin around. His eyes widened to the size of apples as soon as his eyes locked on the steve before him.

He reached out with a shaky hand trembling. "R-r.. r-rainbow..?" His voice trembled feeling another wave of tears threten to spill down his face at seeing the spirit. "I-is that.. r-really you-?" He asked voice barly a wisper.

The smaller steve laughed, "of course its me!!" Rainbow said smiling, "do I need to wack some sense into you with my trusty stick?" He giggled pulling one out. Galaxy felt a huge smile eclipse his face tears spilling out of his eyes. "RAINBOW!!" He lunged forward wrapping the small steve in a huge bear hug nearly sqezzing the life out of the already dead steve.

Rainbows eyes bulged his face turning blur, wacking Galaxy with his trusty stick making the starry steve let go. Rainbow took a deep breath his face slowly returning to normal, "g-gez Galaxy-" he huffed out, "i may be dead but please don't sqezzes the rest of my life out of me-!" He sqweejed out trying regain his breath.

Galaxy laughed for what felt like tje first time in a long time, "ok ok-!" He smiled hugging the small steve again though not nearly as hard. "Im sorry- I'm just so exsited to see you again-!" Galaxy grabbed at the back of the colorful steve colorful sweater, his chin resting on top of his red fluffy hair. "I missed you Rainbow.. i... im sorry... that.. that you had.." He choked up grabbing at him more starting to cry again.

Rainbow looked up at him with a soft smile, "hey.. hey.." he chided softly flicking the taller steves forhead. "I thought im supposed to be the crybaby of the team-" he smiled reaching up and wipeing Galaxys tears with the long sleeves of his fluffy sweater. "Chear up Galaxy. You can do this! Your the Guardian of the universe ain't you?" He smiled more flicking his nose this time. "How hard is it really to track down A screaming Chicken?"

Galaxy snorted not expecting that laughing, "n-not hard at all-!" He giggled remembering the times sabre was screeching like crazy and how much of a racket he can make sometimes. Rainbow smiled brightly, "Exactly! You only have to get in ear range and there he is! And im sure you can track Alex's energy fairly easily if you put your mind to it!" Rainbow incuraged. "You'll find them Galaxy." He smiled flicking his nose again. "So stop panicking and go find them! You know there not that far! Your nearly there!!"

Galaxy smiled letting go of the smaller steve wipeing his eyes, "y-ya!! I just saw Alex a few hours ago!! There close!!!" He smiled at the younger steve before his smile dropped. "...this is goodbye isn't it..?" He asked softly at seeing the colorful steves sad smile. Rainbow nodded. "W-will I ever see you again..?" He said in a pained wisper absolutely hateing goodbyes. The small steve giggled softly, "One day.. at the end of your journey." He smiled gently. "But i hope I won't see you again for a long long time." He stepped forward hugging Galaxy tight. "Go find them you dummy.. they need you." He said softly sqezzing him one last time before gently letting go. "Now go." He earged gently pushing him in the direction he needed to go.

Galaxy stared at him for a while before hugging the steve once again, "I'll see you in the future Rainbow.. i won't ever forget about you. I promise. I won't let anyone forget about you." He sqwezzed takeinb the stick out of the steves hand smiling takeing of his gloves handing them to the Colorful one, smiling. "We'll trade back one day ok?" He smilled happily. "Ok," Rainbow smiled putting them on. "I want the same stick back or ill wack you for a day straight-" Galaxy flinched, "noo-!" He whined not wanting to get chased around and constly wacked with a stick again.

Rainbow laughed at his friend, smiling, pushing him gently again, "better not loss it! Or Sabre and Alex-! Goo-!" The young steve earged again seeing the older nod smiling, "Right-! I need to make sure there Alright!" He smiled at Rainbow, "goodbye Rainbow! Stay safe in the sprit world!!" He waved dashing of twords his friends.

The colorful steve watched him go a sad look on his face, watching his creator till he was out of sight before sighing deeply. "...I shouldn't have done that." A voice that was not Rainbows came out of the young steves mouth, before the Rainbow clad steve morphed into a taller gray and purple / pink steve.

"Why did i do that-?" Illusion whined to himself feeling bad, looking down to galaxys gloves still on his hands them fitting perfectly unlike them being loose on Rainbow's small hands. "I.. i had to chear Galaxy up though... he.. he was falling apart.." Illusion sighed deeply takeing of the gloves and putting them deep into his pockets so he didn't lose them.

Illusion ran fingers though his hair starting to walk following his creators energy with ease. "What harm does it even do..?" He asked the still air of the canyon pass, "its not like he'll see Rainbow anytime soon-! And he'll probably forget by then!! Its not like he'll miss the gloves-!" He ranted trying to justify his actions.

"...I made him feel better." The young steve said softly. "S-so what if I helped him-!? I-... i want to see whats going on-! A-and-..." he paused for a moment before talking again, "and if he fell apart I couldn't follow him to Sabre and Alex!! Thats it!! Thats why I helped him!!" He laughed, "not becuse just feel like I should make him happy and keep him safe or anything!! Nooo-! Not at all!"

Illusion smiled, "Its not like I have anything better to do-!!" He said loud and proud starting to run after his creator, the gloves he always wore snug on his hands.
