Kali short story!

——————————

"What do mean?" I shout, the dagger in my hand shaking as I fail to calm down the flame of rage inside of me. "What the fuck do you mean by I'm your child?" I glare up at the living star standing above me, her expression mocking and amused. "You know exactly what I mean Kali, I created you." Sparta chuckled darkly after that remark, as if reminding who's more powerful in this situation. "I don't want to be related to you." I hiss, my wings flaring out and starting to heat up.

Shit. I need to calm down before I accidentally set this room ablaze. But maybe it's better that I do now, when nobody's here to rescue me and get hurt in the process than when someone is here.

My tail lashes back and forth like a whip, ready to strangle any of the Star Cult members if they get too close. "If you're the one that created me, then what about the people I lived with for 15 years?" I snap back, refusing to let any of that star bitch's tricks work on me.

But what if she's right?

Don't be an idiot. There's so way Sparta, of all people could be my mother.

"Ah. Theadore and Sally. They were old friends of mine, I had no way to keep you at the time so I gave you to them." Sparta sighed "to bad that they disobeyed the rules and had to be terminated." Sparta looked at her nails without a hint of interest or remorse.

"What." My mind goes blank, replaying some of the few good memories I had of my parents. Sure they seemed to regret me most of the time, but sometimes, mostly when I was younger, it almost seemed they actually cared.

Almost.

"You heard what I said." Sparta's words snapped me out of my daze. I shook my head and glared up at her again. "Oh fuck you." I hiss, "you can't just tell me that you killed my parents and expect me to take it well.". Sparta scoffed "So? They weren't your real parents. They didn't even treat you that well!". "They treated me better than you ever could!" I snap back at Sparta. "Now I'm starting to regret making you, you've become a nuisance." Sparta glares down at me, her eyes seething with hatred for what she's created.

I need to get out before I suffocate in my own panic here.

With a growl I jolt up from my crouching position, my wings flaring out in a pitiful attempt of intimidation.

Sparta just rolls her eyes "Ruby, Stella, do you mind grabbing Kali."

I watch intensely as Stella and Ruby step closer to me, clearly confident that they'll catch me. Maybe a bit to confident.

In a flash my wings and tail light ablaze, fire flickering from my wing tips. I latch my tail around Stella's arm, watching as the skin burns for a moment but starts to bubble sickingly. I tighten my tail's grip and throw her against the wall before whipping around to face Ruby, growling dangerously. Ruby takes a nervous step back, eyes darting from the fire crackling from my wings and tail and Stella's unconscious body lying about 20 feet away.

The moment I see freedom, I flare my wings out and take flight, rushing to get out of that sickening room.

There! Sky!

I flap my wings towards it, for a moment not registering the robot trying to get my attention.

"KALI!"

I yelp, nearly falling out of the sky before regaining my breath and flapping my wings to stay afloat, looking for the source of the noise.

"Over here!" I whip around and notice Holly and Saint tucked away in a tiny part of the ceiling. Looking below me, I fly into the little cavern that the two robots had tucked themselves into.

As soon as I'm in Holly hops down from Saint's back, "There you are! The rest of us were worried sick!". "Sorry, just...Sparta being Sparta." I stutter out, my mind not quite working with me.

"Now that we found them, can we go back now Holly?" Saint questioned, glancing down at Holly as she turns around to face him. "Oh! Yeah! We probably should. Well," she turns back around to face me "are you ready? I will say you look shaken up, or I am reading human emotions wrong again?". I take a shaky deep breath, "Y-yeah. Just... learned that Sparta is my actual mom and-". "Sparta what!" Holly exclaimed, looking startled.

CRASH

"Shit. We need to get out of here, now!" Holly grabbed my wrist, 'gently' kicked Saint in one of his many knees, causing him to hiss, shifting back into his humanoid form. "Give me a sec Holly! Gods." Saint growls, setting up the portal. The moment the portal opens, Holly pulls me and Saint through before hopping in herself, closing the portal behind her. "Is everyone safe?"

I don't respond, the sudden weight of everything crashing down on me again.

Why do we exist just to meaninglessly die not long later.

Nobody will ever make a difference.

Everything is just for nothing.

I'm just a failure.

I'll never help anybody

We all-

"Kali?"

I am jolted out of my spiral by Holly calling out my name, looking worried. "Are you alright? You seemed to be panicking."

I smile softly, "I'm a bit better now."

"Holly?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

But rushed at the end but :3

ALSO GUESS WHO ACTUALLY WROTE QUICKLIGHT'S LORE!

(Part of it isn't written yet as this is still a WIP so I'll post the final thing later! Also it's very vague so :3)

Was born from Quick and Light fighting. Quick attempted to steal Light's soul, it failed and half of their souls left Quick and Light and formed a new being, Quicklight

Light wanted to let SilverLight take care of Quicklight, but before they could contact SilverLight, Prism's parents stole Quicklight.

Note: Prism is about 2 years older than Quicklight and Monochrome is 4 years older than Quicklight

Note 2: Prism's parents aren't gods, but Fate made their two children Gods to help out the financially and physically struggling family. But this caused Prism and Monochrome's parents to become abusive of their power and want more power, hence why they stole Quicklight.

Between now and when Quicklight, Monochrome, Prism move out, the three meet Atlantic, Gold, and BlackLight

Almost forgot to mention, Quicklight is 10 when they have their first gender and sexuality crisis (they think they're Demigirl and bisexual (oh you sweet summer child/lhj) ). Quicklight is 12 when they find the gender and sexuality most comfortable to them (gender-fluid, Panromantic and Graysexual)

Quicklight stays with Prism's abusive parents until Prism is 16, Quicklight is 14 and Monochrome is 18.

Monochrome buys a house for Prism and Quicklight to stay at. They offer to let Blacklight, Gold, and Atlantic to stay, but they are unable to for now

Time skip a few years

Quicklight is 15, Prism is 17, and Monochrome is 19

Quicklight and Prism explore a nearby forest. They soon find a village hidden in the forest

Before they can step foot they encounter Pinksilver and Pinklight who are guarding the village to make sure nobody breaks in. (Pinksilver and Pinklight are 16)

Quicklight convinces Pinksilver to not attack the two of them

Pinksilver and Pinklight give in and befriend the two

Time skip a while (like a few months), Pinksilver offers to let Quicklight and Prism meet her and Pinklight's parents. Quicklight and Prism agree and text Monochrome that they'll be a bit and are at a friends house or smth

Pinksilver introduces Quicklight and Prism to Butterflywing, Blossom, QuickSilver and DeathRay.

Time skip a few years (Quicklight is 19, Prism is 21, and Monochrome is 23)

Everything's chill for a while. Prism and Atlantic get married. Pinksilver and Gold meet and start dating. Quicklight has made Bolt and a few of the robot helpers (same design as Holly but Holly isn't herself yet)

One day Quicklight feels like they're being watched and decide to investigate.

Soon they stumble upon Poltergeist, who was silently watching Quicklight for a bit, but gets startled as Quicklight has caught her and tries but fails to run away.

Quicklight is a bit defensive and asks Poltergeist what she's doing.

Poltergeist responds by saying that she was trying to figure out who Quicklight was as she's never seen Quicklight before
