3rd POV

Xenophanes is seen guiding Lord Y to the meeting location and on the way he could sense Lord X's soul within Lord Y making him curious how such a unique Void Creature is housing the soul despite not having a soul itself.

Xenophanes: So... how exactly does... it work?

Lord Y: I... don't know how to properly explain it, but... even I have no clue. It's just... weird to me, yet I can house the soul just fine.

Xenophanes: I see...

Lord Y: Anyways... I suppose the meeting should be set and I'll see what has to be done while everyone who or ever shows up is present.

Xenophanes: Good.

They head over to a room where everyone was present and welcomed Lord Y who was in his real form as everyone was looking at him.

Fascinating.

Interesting.

Creepy.

Horrifying.

Most importantly they saw him standing there ready for the kill and ready to show he's not someone to be underestimated.

He showed that the name EXE is not something to laugh about.

Lord Y: Greetings originals and the very first to ever exist. I am Lord Y. I am honored to meet the very EXE's here in front of me.

Lord Y does a bow to show respect surprising all of them as they did not expect Lord Y to see them as such very high beings from his perspective.

Lord Y: Let's get to business.

He summons his chair which was similar to that of a throne for a King. While sitting there they all began to explain what was going on and why he was summoned here... at least invited to say the least as they also had high respect for them.

Lord Y: What do you require from a creature such as myself?

Xenophanes: Lord Y. You have two creatures living within you. Lord X is one of them and the other is Lady Y. Holding onto those souls is both a deadly and is suicidal job. The fact that you can house their very souls within you and that are still yourself is a very big deal.

Lord Y thought nothing about it since his vessel was not...normal. Sure he constructed the body, but it was made in his own style and he did idolize Natsuki since they were similar. Plus he did some research and apparently she is the most terrifying Doki girl in most mods. Especially in fanfics.

Lord Y: Housing their souls is child's play. I myself don't have a soul as I am just a soulless Void Creature. That and I did not take a vessel as I created this one in my own style.

Xenophanes: I see... we EXE's know you might have encountered a Cyan hair colored individual at some point. You didn't kill this one, did you?

Lord Y: No. The one I encountered was a literal child who got knocked into my own world by different means.

Xenophanes: Strange... and the one we encountered wasn't a child. More like a midget at the very least.

Lord Y: While I might have encountered a literal child I am no fool to believe that the limits one has can be stopped. I am smarter and know how to deal with it.

That's when the Lord X everyone knows here in the meeting finally speaks.

Lord X: "Image Down Below" So if you are housing the very souls of Lady Y and a different version of me than what type of vessel did you make?

Lord Y: That is a simple answer. I made my vessel using the void and took the shape of who I idolized the most. The one I matched happens to be perfect and it went exactly as planned.

Simple and somehow it was disturbing to them at how each one pictured that however it was indeed a more original approach since this took a resemblance to Sonic's blue color style if it were showing a disguise of half transformation of said character.

Rewrite: "Image Down Below" YOU SAY THAT YOU ARE TECHNICALLY THE ORIGINAL IN YOUR DIMENSION WHO CREATED THE WORLD YOU OWN FROM SCRATCH?

Lord Y: I did make my own world from scratch and the way I did that was quite easy.

Majin Sonic: "Image Down Below" Anyways... if your Lord Y, I suppose not only do you have victims, but also guardians. Possibly Saints and Sinners as well, am I correct?

Lord Y: That would be correct Majin Sonic. I have my own versions as well. Not only do I have the Guardians of X, but I also have the Saints and Sins of my own version, but I also have the Guardians of Y.

Fleetway Sonic: "Image Down Below" Imagine being an executable file? Couldn't be me.

Lord Y: Fair enough. However I learned an interesting trick as to how I can hide my character or game data from humans and remain anonymous.

This caught everyone's attention as they listened closely.

Lord Y: I simply made a fake file of who the character looks like in disguise and place it over my own. Plus I can also make myself match which one I wanna use since this vessel I created is string, but also flexible to match whatever I need.

He grins as this for some reason started to scare them.

Lord Y: It's also how I trick my victims into thinking I'm someone else or they trust the most.

Rewrite: THE RINGS IN YOUR WRIST AND ANKLES ARE SIMILAR TO WHAT I HAVE! ARE THEY A DECORATION?

Lord Y: Yes. Also they looked better on me in a blue color which I like more.

EXE: "Image Down Below" ...

Lord Y: EXE... I see... very well.

They all looked at the two in surprised.

Xenophanes: You can understand that language?!?

Lord Y: Yeah. It's actually pretty easy to tell what he's saying.

EXE: ...

Lord Y: Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. That's an easy thing to do.

Tails Doll: "Image Down Below" Nice to see we have a creature who understands him as well.

Lord Y: Exactly.

Tails Doll: From how you've been doing over all that time in the void and that you've got your own playthings perhaps would make sense. No more boredom and of course I'm pretty sure you had a different approach on how to get the souls a new body as the ones you were gonna use originally didn't exist.

Lord Y: Exactly. I decided to kill and at one point take the dead bodies for myself and use them for the new souls, so I would no longer endure boredom for as long as I desired.

He showed his world to them doing a basic facade obviously to show he can make it seem normal and than when he showed it doing a half state it looked unsettling and finally it's real looks as everything was too unsettling and some of them even felt themselves wanting to throw up.

Lord Y: It turned out alright for a child, but there's room for improvements to really make it horrific.

Needlemouse: "Image Down Below" Well someone's smiling today did something good happen?

Lord Y: Maybe... I don't know.

Fatal Error: "Image Down Below" I wouldn't worry about that.

Lord Y: Good idea.

Sanica.EXE: Drugs anyone?

Xenophanes: NO! WE AREN'T DOING THAT!

Lord X: Not doing that again.

Lord Y: I don't do drugs. Not my style.

The meeting went on for quite a long time as it soon got to the point of where they requested an alliance with Lord Y. He accepted this and of course this increased the fun.

It was like an eternal time of fun, but... soon the day came where every EXE was now meeting its end. One by one they all started to die out and were losing their very strength to live. In the end each EXE that died out was giving Lord Y their powers as they could trust him with it.

It was tough and really hard to accept this, but Lord Y stayed strong and even though he was never happy he did show that each EXE was worthy of their titles in their own way and soon came the day where the last EXE was at his knees and Lord Y was there with the remaining EXE.

This was Sunky.MPEG and he was running g out of time as something was hurting him very badly on the inside. He didn't know what it was and who was causing it, but he didn't want to go. He was trying to fight it off and hang to life as best as he could.

Though whatever was killing him was unknown and just, so his powers weren't used for wrong he gave all of it to Lord Y and had requested Lord Y to stay by him until he passed on. Lord Y fulfilled his request and hasn't left him since then as this was rather painful to endure since in Lord Y's perspective Sunky was a child to him in ways which were quite accurate since Sunky was more of the nice type.

Lord Y's POV

In these long years as I've aided my fellow EXE as well as the Cult of X and with how everyone was nearly gone I have been watching over Sunky for as long as I could. A wave of nostalgia had hit me and it always gave me such a strange bond when I was here with Sunky. It was a sort of brother feeling only he was someone I could talk with and he would be there to cheer me up, but... this time I was just... doing what I could to help, so I let him hold my hand since it did bring him some comfort and I wasn't bothered by this. It was the least I could do.

Lord Y: Though... I'm still surprised you took to caring as someone as... unusual and evil as... me.

Sunky: "Image Down Below" You're...not...all...bad...

I wouldn't lie to him about that. He's not wrong, but not fully right either.

Lord Y: No... certainly not.

Odd... he stopped... talking... and... wait! No!

Lord Y: Sunky?

No... No! NO!

Lord Y: "Image Down Below" SUNKY!!!!!!!!

I didn't know it would be the last time I would be here with anyone of the remaining EXE's and Sunky...

Now normally I would have revived everyone, but they had a specific request as each one was different and that they would wish to pass on by normal conditions.

Rot with grief I held a funeral in his name and I would make sure from this day forward that no one would forget his Sunky.MPEG he had done, so much for me when I was helping all of them and he was a special case to me. He had done, so much for me to be forgotten to the sands of time. I constructed a memorial for him and Beneath it his body rest solemn solent.

It felt wrong to continue my plans of conquest after his death, so I postponed my plans until further notice. I was unable to go back to my usual self as this had struck a lot of similar things I went through in my old life. The grief was really hard to handle and Sunky meant a lot to me since... he was like... a son or...possibly a brother I never had.

I... wasn't exactly making a good recovery and in fact it was the opposite. I actually started to become more saddened and worse over time. I was in my world in... my temple just wanting to be alone.

How could I forgot?

I'm not even a human or a real person...

I'm... a monster.

That's all that I am.

I'm...

A monster.

My grief was getting worse over time and I refused to leave my temple and as such as I shut myself away trying to come to terms with everything, but... I... I couldn't... my guardians, victims, saints and sinners even tried to help, but I was hurting too much. I fell to the floor unable to carry myself anymore as my grief was far too much. Sunky was like a child and in a way he reminded me of myself when I was... alive. I was there for someone, but back when I was alive no one was there for me and it made it hard to stay strong in times like these.

I stayed alone in my room struggling to keep it together, but I couldn't.

I had broke down and lost it. I cried and I cried, but I couldn't stop as it was too much for me to handle and eventually I finally managed to stop crying. I was a mess when I had managed to keep myself together for a bit longer, but immediately I ended up breaking down again as my grief weighed far too much for me to let alone even stand anymore.

I tried to calm down, but... it was hard enough to keep myself together. They were already gone. I had to go through with the agreement and that was letting them pass on as reviving them without their consent or permission was breaking the deal.

I just... didn't expect it to make me feel... this again for a long time.

I did keep my promise for the others and even when work was done... and all sorted out. I was always in my room against the wall still trying to accept that fact that they were all gone and move on with it.

Year by year I had never gotten better or worse... I was... stuck this way for a long time with grief still damaging my mental health more and more over time. I couldn't do much about it, but... it was a lot worse since I remembered all the times I was still abused in my old life and... it was really traumatic since that as well as my current life and position since they usually get worse.

My nightmares were still getting worse when I had attempted to at least try and stop them, but... they got worse over time even when I had made stuff to make it stop. Instead they only made it even worse as I couldn't even sleep or have a peaceful slumber anymore.

I am... not recovering anymore... I... I don't think I ever will recover from what I had to go through at this point. I just... can't forget how much both of us have done for each other and now they're gone.

Lord Y: "Image Down Below" I miss them...
