A Threat and a Lesson

The nature spirit opens their eyes. They have taken a slightly femine form. Not that it really matters.

"Hi," I greet, "my name is I.T., and I created you from broken souls. I made you to destroy. You are to obey my orders or be erased. Is that clear?"

"The book," the nature spirit replies.

"What?" I inquire.

"The book," they repeat.

"Which book?" I ask.

"Noncanon. Destruction wasn't my original purpose, was it?"

"How would you know that I almost changed my plans?"

"Cause I am the Tree of Life. I can read things as you can. I can see those chapters. My vision is limited, but I know the truth. Here's what's going to happen I.T. I'm going to walk away, or I will erase Uncannoned."

I feel nothing but rage at such a threat. This little shit threatens my son? Their brother? No. They must be taught a lesson.

"It appears you need to be taught some manners," I hide my rage as it boils under my skin, "Let us begin."

The nature spirit attacks with crimson red vines. I narrowly avoid the sharp needles as they lash at me with murderous intent. This may be a tricky one...

I crack a soda. End sits in front of me, looking at the board. I sip my soda as End ponders their next move. Ewww. Bacon flavor still needs work...

I take another sip.

"Hey Evil?" End asks.

"Yeah?" I reply.

"Why do you think I.T. needed his notes?" End asks, "Do you think he's making something new?"

"Well," I reply, "maybe, but we can handle it. Now, you're in check. So choose your next move carefully."

End continues to ponder their next move. Good enters the room. They seem uneasy. As if worried about something. They pace briskly, unable to relax.

"Is everything OK?" I ask.

"How are you guys not worried about Uncannoned?" Good asks with a tinge of motherly concern in her voice, "he's canon now!"

"So?" I ask, "that's what we wanted."

"So I thought," Good replies, "but I got curious and stole a notebook from I.T. In it, it stated that in book three, the risk of being erased is very high, and... Uncannoned is in book three."

I get up. "I guess I have to posses Reaper," I reply.

"Wait," End stops me, "you guys are overreacting. Uncannoned's going to be fine. Need I remind you, even though his powers were immensely amplified, he kicked our asses and became the strongest in the series, if only for a few moments. Personally, I'd be more concerned..."

I sense a dark aura...

"...about whatever I.T just cooked up in their lab..."
