Far away from the house in the mystic mountains, there is a dark market street that is closed off from the town. It is sealed away from the public to keep away from good eyes.

Many shops and businesses tend to hide away bad people from capture, as well as comforting them to feel respected. One child strayed away from the family hides there, not because of a moment that changed him, because he doesn't feel needed there anymore.

Bittersweet is definitely one of those kids who turned to the dark side, it's not by destiny, it's his choice to be bad in his own way. When he was little, he was well loved by his family, especially his mom. His siblings looked up to him and they watched TV together in the cartoon channel that only shows cartoons from the 90s to the 2000s. Bittersweet loves those cartoons not because he want to mimic the magic skills and Kung fu moves, it's because it made them bonded together by singing the theme songs together.

He kinda inspired his grandpa to establish a new rule, "be creative with your own works"

When he was little, he secretly makes chocolate action figures from his favorite show and he played with them. That week after he was nowhere to be seen in the mountains, he left before his mother had a fight with his father. Deetee and Whitey still wonder what happened that night that driven their older brother to run away. Milky saw those toys and there's a bite mark in one of them, he admired the look of the toys. Most of the items in the shop are animals and mythical creatures, it was the old rule of chocolate making, "make it the way your grandpa prefers"

Bittersweet went off to make a candy shop on his own, but every good location doesn't attract a lot of people. He noticed the secret street entrance and saw it was dark and full of bad people flooding the streets.

He started to make chocolate there, but he got an idea to bring them to his shop. He crafted powder with hot chocolate mix and gunpowder and inserted mini marshmallows for a surprising touch, sealing in a round chocolate shell. He alerted the public for his new product, "The Chocolate Bomb" he throws one at a cardboard cutout with a drawn target mark on the chest, and it exploded at the surface with mini marshmallows flying everywhere

The crowd went crazy and accepted Bittersweet's creativity, making him chose to be bad in the first place.

He continued to create surprising products for his target audience, chocolate spears, chocolate mine bombs, sharp chocolate bear traps, chocolate guns, chocolate gorillas, chocolate toy robots, and enlarged chocolate bombs for heavy damage.

It brings suspicions for others outside of the street, so they send assassins to take him out. Unfortunately, Bittersweet isn't letting them getting away for trying to kill him or learning his secret. He won't let one go unscathed...

"I want to be friends with you" they said to him

"What?" said Bittersweet

"I want to change you, using your crafting skills for good use" they explained

"Listen kid, I don't want to change, this is the life I like to pick, being bad makes you feel fearless and respectful!" He sighed at them

"But your efforts are making others suffer, your bombs are proven to be lethal to others, your traps harm more animals than normal traps, and your chocolate guns have exploded in the user's face!" They informed him

"We'll I said to him there's a 25% chance of the gun to explode in their hands and faces, but he took that risk" He told them, "plus, my chocolate bombs are my best selling item, and my traps are a big hit for hunters. I won't get rid of them this easily"

"Many outsiders are getting suspicious of the chocolate weapons, and I thought the assassins can investigate, but they never come back" They explained

"Look... I know you like to touch stuff and boxes explain the info for you, but I don't like others trying to stop me from ruining my bad life! Like "He" ruined my good life!" Bittersweet frowned

"Who is "He"?" They asked

"My-" Bittersweet got interrupted as he heard a ding from outside, "Coming"

"Hey, where are you going?" They asked again

"Back to work, and you wasted my break" Bittersweet went out to the counter and saw a red haired teen with a black lab coat and orange swirl goggles on his head

"Hello, welcome to "Death By Chocolate" my friend, how may I assist you?" Bittersweet greeted him

"Uh hi, are you the one who made the chocolate monkey staff?" He told the cat

"Yeah" Bittersweet answered

"That is amazing, it looks just like The Monkey Staff I used to possess." He smiled, "I love being a monkey, I wish they can allow me to have that Shen Gong Wu again"

"Shen Gong Wu? Wait a minute, your favorite Wu, you're Jack Spicer! Evil boy genius in Xiaolin Showdown! I was a fan of the show you are in!" Bittersweet smiled with excitement

"It's surprising that every fan watching the show came for me" Jack laughed

"So you admire my work on this staff?" Bittersweet smiled

"Yeah! How about I give you my autograph as you sign this staff!" Said Jack

"Sounds great! I tell you, I hate having to pay people to sign autographs, but this is awesome" they both signed on their things and give each other the reward

"Since I haven't seen you here before, would you like to be the villain of the day tomorrow?" Bittersweet smiled as he grabbed his camera

"Sure! Your stuff is awesome!" Bittersweet and Jack took a selfie, "thank you!" He left as the kid went near Bittersweet

"You took a picture with the bad guy?" They replied

"Oh course, that's how I do thing around here kid" Bittersweet frowned at them

"It's Frisk, my name is Frisk Dreemur" Frisk answered

"I thought you might as well be an orphan" Bittersweet looked disappointed

"Well if I can't change you today then I shall stay by your side until I change your ways!" Frisk said as they are determined to continue their path

"Be my guest, I have an extra bed, I have a collection of old cartoons and anime, and I have pre-made food in the kitchen. If you think you can kill me with kindness, then I accept your challenge" Bittersweet smiled

"Good, I will call my mom then" Frisk went to the back room for the phone and Bittersweet sighed, "I want to be good, but I don't wanna face him..." Bittersweet saw a wicked white cat with purple stripes eating his mom alive, "NO STOP!"

"Oh God kid, I thought you wouldn't know about my secret cheat day!" A fat guy frowned as he was eating a cat-sized cookie

"Stop it! Stop it!" Bittersweet frowned at his head

"I'm here for you medicine" Frisk hugged him as he felt a missing piece for the hole in his heart just filled up

"Can you stop that, I'm fine kid" Bittersweet closed up shop as he set up the bed for his new "roommate"

"So what are you doing tomorrow?" Frisk asked

"I will stock up some more before opening, and after that it's toon time!" Bittersweet smiled

"Toon time?" said Frisk

"My favorite part of the day, watching old shows made me smile, I sure hope they still doing so without me now... but hey, at least I got someone to watch them with me" Bittersweet smiled

"So you got anime?" Frisk asked

"Duh, we do, I have that in my collection" Bittersweet laughed, "let's see what kind of kid friendly G-rated madness we have in store for a kid"

———————————————————

A white purple striped cat stared at the window and smiled, "Hope that they stick to you, I will end you boy and have your remains"

"You there! This isn't a yard for stray cats" a tall black haired man stared down at him

"Oh sorry, I was just wondering what this boy is going up there with a kid" he chuckled

"Get out of here, this place isn't meant for the faint of heart" he growled and the cat left the street

"Let's just hope they both live, because I have important business to discuss" he walked away to guard the street

Yokaisonas are not for everyone, but Bittersweet is a challenge. Yokai helped people and became a team, but a human helping Yokai to be better? That's new.

Challenges await for all of the kids, now let's see if they bond with their "soon-to-be" Guardians!
