(Earth: Echo Creek Academy)

(William)"Yo, Marc! Check this out!"

He showed his Human friend his test, with a big red "A" on the corner.

(Marco)"Heh, you still have a lot to learn, my friend!"

Marco then revealed his test, with a plus next to the "A".

(William)"Dang, this is the third time you've outdone me!"

Although William had a knack for making friends without trying, he wasn't the smartest boy. Like we've seen before, William has trouble with his barrier magic, leaving openings without noticing, and gets distracted by his own mistakes, leaving him open to attack.

(Marco)"What can I say? I'm just that good!"

(William)"Whatever, I'll get you next time!"

The final bell for the day rung, and the two boys went to their lockers. As they were finishing up, they noticed most of the other students were gathering around something in the hall.

(William)"Hey, guys! What's going on?"

(Student)"There's a new student, this weird-looking lizard guy!"

(William)"Lizard guy- What now?!"

He pushed his way through the crowd, and was surprised to see who it was: yet another Oozai. His skin was a combination of blue and green, had yellow eyes, a tail, and red spade-shaped cheek marks, similar to Star's.

(William)"Wow, there's just been Oozai popping up left and right around her since I showed up!"

(Marco)"You think he's another one of Gohma's guys?"

(William)"Nah, I don't feel any killing intent in his soul, just...annoyance."

(???)"Excuse me, but is everyone done gawking?? I'd like to get home today."

Without acknowledging the hybrid, the strange Oozai walked past everyone with a bored expression.

(Marco)"What's up with that guy?"

(William)"I don't know, but I got a weird feeling about him."

Curious, William followed the young man, who was now sitting by a bus stop eating a huge bag of M&M's.

(William)"Ahnok! My name's William, I know it doesn't look like it, but I'm an Oozai too!"

(???)"...Ahnok."

(William)"Uh, hehehe... This is a little awkward! What's your name?"

(Caram)"Caram."

(William)"Oh! ...Don't talk much, huh?"

(Caram)"That's because I don't have anything worthwhile to say to y- ...Wait a minute. That face, are you William Zai?"

(William)"That's me!"

(Caram)"O-Oh my God! I had no idea!"

He stood up and shook Will's hand like a mad man.

(William)"Wh-Whoa there, buddy! It's no big deal!"

(Caram)"It is a big deal! How could I not recognize my own cousin!?"

(William)"No really, it's fi- Did you say cousin...?"

(Caram)"That's what I said! My father's the brother of yours!"

(William)"Koozai had a son?!?"

(Caram)"You didn't know? How old are you?"

(William)"17."

(Caram)"I was born one year after you then. But how did Koozai not tell his own brother about me?"

(William)"I-I don't know, man...I'm learning a lot about my family nowadays. But what about those marks on your face? I've only seen them on two other people."

(Caram)"These? They came from my mother. He didn't know her name, so I just know her by Spades."

(William)"Well, it's good to finally meet you, Caram!"

(Caram)"No, it's good to meet YOU!"

(William)"Uh, yeah."

(Meanwhile: Oozai Realm)

(Bazzral)"M-My King! Something terrible is happening!"

(Zoozai)"What is it, a Nez attack?"

(Bazzral)"No, an Oozai! I've received a report of a blue Oozai with a bionic hand attacking Fustiroz with creatures made of paint!"

(Zoozai)"Fustiroz? Paint? ...Oh no, brother what have you done???"

(Bazzral)"What shall we do, King? Send Imor, the Elite Guard?"

(Zoozai)"No, this is a personal matter. I shall go myself, and settle this matter."

With that, he immediately left the castle. Fustiroz, this is the name of one of the five main Oozai countries of the realm. Fustiroz was created when the two brothers drifted apart, and the original Oozai Kingdom was split in two. It has a population of 800,000, a majority of which being a number of Koozai's creations. Koozai, being a blue Oozai, has the ability to give a form of sentience to nonliving objects, like golems and such with just a small portion of his magic.

With great speed, Zoozai flew across rivers and small portions of forest for about five minutes, trying to figure out what has gotten into his brother's head. He thought to himself, "Is he still mad at me for that reason? Did he finally snap? No, that's not the Koozai I knew, even back then!"

(Earth)

(Caram)"And this is my home."

The two boys stepped inside a traditional Oozai house resembling Caram's hue. The inside had a dull gray wall, the furniture was purple, and a strange coffee table sat in front of the couch.

(William)"Nice place you got, but what's with that coffee table? It looks like a solid rectangle."

(Caram)"Oh, that's not REALLY a table, it's my special heating rock."

(William)"Heating rock? What's it for?"

(Caram)"You see, I'm not like other Oozai. My form is that of one, but my DNA is heavily tied to a species of lizard humanoids, and my soul is, well, it's a lot to explain."

(Caram)"The point is, unlike normal Oozai, I cannot generate my own body heat using the magic from my soul. So I use this rock to periodically warm up my blood so I don't, well, die."

(William)"Oh...well that's alarming."

(Caram)"Anyways, I want to introduce you to someone, he should be here."

The lizard Oozai then yelled, "Rasticore! We have a guest!", Upstairs. After a few moments, a tall, muscular humanoid came down with a bionic arm and gemstone over one of his eyes.

(Rasticore)"Ugh, what? I was sleepin' up there!"

(Caram)"Ras, this is my cousin William I told you about. Will, this is my guardian Rasticore."

(William)"What do you need a guardian for?"

(Caram)"Like I told you earlier, I'm only 16 years old, and my Fathers were insistent that I have a supervisor. It's entirely unnecessary, I'm just 3 months away, I can take care of myself!"

(Rasticore)"Just yesterday you got lost at the store for nearly three hours."

(Caram)"I was getting dizzy from my sugar condition!"

(Rasticore)"And that's why you need somebody to take care of you!"

(Caram)"Wh-Whatever!"

(William)"Sugar condition?"

(Caram)"Yeah, the one where I can't produce any blood sugar, so I have to eat sugary stuff constantly."

(William)"Oh. So that's why you ate two family-sized bags on the way here."

(Forgot to mention, Oozai don't have livers. So their hearts produce sugar as well as pump blood. That should be physically impossible, but the Oozai are weird.)

(Back to Oozai Realm)

The yellow Oozai arrived to a large town in utter chaos. Abstract, dripping creatures of paint and towering golems advanced towards panicking civilians, some being Oozai, but a majority being lizard humanoids. There were only three Oozai who seemed capable of holding them back.

Paint Creatures:

Golems:

One was a red Oozai with a gold crown. He didn't have arms, but had long, powerful legs to compensate, crushing and kicking the smaller blots. The second was a yellow Oozai with a diamond on his shirt, and shot the artist's abominations with diamond-shaped bullets. And the third Oozai was definitely a unique individual. He was massive, bulky, wore a green and black bodysuit, and had two extra heads on his shoulders. With his mighty arms, he crushed golems into cement powder.

These were Koozai's strongest warriors, known as the Suits. Ij the order that I introduced them, their codenames are King of Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs.

(KoD)"King Zoozai! Thank goodness you're here!"

(KoC)"Your bro's gone mad!/ He got pink eye or something, now he's attacking everybody!/ S-So scary!"

(Clubs' heads speak from left to right. Heart guy can't talk, speaks in emojis like :O.)

(Zoozai)"Pink eye? This must be the work of Gohma again!"

(KoD)"Koozai's at the plaza, hurry up and stop him before anyone else gets hurt!"

Flying towards the center, Zoozai found the source of these museum mistakes. A blue Oozai with short horns had a paint brush in his cybernetic right hand, and was crazily sketching out the same design, and molding golems out of clay using telekinesis.

(Zoozai)"Brother!"

(Koozai)"Z-Zooz...brother...! I-I knew...y-you'd show up!"

(Zoozai)"It was Gohma who did this, wasn't it!?"

(Koozai)"Y-Yes! He caught me off guard...can't control my body...h-help me!"

With a strong gust of wind, Koozai's Soul Power increased to an orb five meters around him.

(Koozai)"D-D-D-Destroy! I'll destroy you, then your boy!"

(Zoozai)"Looks like he couldn't resist the spell any longer."

The yellow Oozai's soul appeared, and out from it emerged his double-bladed axe. Koozai's brush then changed from pink to red, and as he swung it in his brother's direction, it fired six globs of paint.

Zoozai's axe, using his telepathy, chopped each paint ball in two, followed up with a flurry of heart-shaped bullets. Countering, Koozai summoned his blue scythe, spinning it around fast enough to make the bullets bounce right off.

(Koozai)"Zoozai! I-I can't stop myse-Die!"

(Zoozai)"Don't worry, brother. I'll make sure Gohma doesn't get away with this!"

Against his will, Koozai advanced towards his older brother. The two clashed their weapons like an interpretive dance routine. Finally, the blue 'zai cut through his brother's defenses, and through his brother!

(Koozai)"B-Brother!!! I...I didn't mean to-"

But as soon as Zoozai split apart, he disappeared in a puff of smoke. "It was just a copy?!", Kooz thought to himself. He was then blown back into a ruined house by a surge of magical energy from behind. Zoozai's soul was visible, a black dot appeared in the center of it, followed with lines coming out four directions like string tied around a package.

(Zoozai)"You've grown Koozai. I'm glad you could protect yourself out here, well, I guess not in this case. But now it's time to bring you back to your senses!"

His soul aura appeared, just a few meters bigger than Koozai's. Then, he took on a monstrous transformation. His body shrunk, but was now humanoid, big, and bulky, then his white sclera turn black. A dark hue overtook his lower body, giving the impression he wore pants. His horns grew raggedly, and he formed a crazed smile. This is Zoozai, but in his true form.

(I choose to take pics in bad lighting. Don't know why.)

(Koozai)"This...this power...!"

Without warning, Zoozai clocked his little brother in the non-existent mouth, then while he was sent flying, the yellow Oozai kicked him hight into the air. Then to finish this fight, Zooz brought his tail down into Koozai's gut, making a large crater in the ground. Just before the blue 'zai lost consciousness, the pink in his eyes disappeared like a flame blown out.

(Zoozai)"Ooh, I hit him a bit too hard! These wounds aren't that severe, but I gotta be more careful next time!"

(???)"I-Is it over?"

From around the corner, a Septarian with a black suit made his presence known.

(Zoozai)"Yes, but Koozai's a little banged up now- Wait a minute...Toffee? Is that you?"

(Toffee)"Zoozai?! I couldn't recognize you! You look, different."

(Zoozai)"Oh, that's because you never saw me transform since, you know, that one time where Moon asked me to take care of...the whole war thing."

(Toffee)"Right, I hadn't forgot about THAT day. But that's not important, Koozai isn't hurt that bad, is he?"

(Zoozai)"Not by the looks of it, just a few cracks and bruises, they'll heal properly in a few weeks...or a month."

(Toffee)"Well at least his rampage has ended. Caram would be worried sick if he knew that this Gohma fellow was controlling him!"

(Zoozai)"Wouldn't anyone be? I can only imagine what he- Wait who's Caram?"

(To be continued.)
