Chapter Text
“yo wanna come to our house” zach texted nick who was driving out of the arby’s parking lot.
“sure” nick texted back.
“alright cool heres where to go” zach texted sending the address to the death grips house.
“thanks bro” nick replied as he ate his arby’s curly fries. after around 20 minutes nick finally arrived. the house was pretty nice and it had two stories.
“yo wassup bro.” zach greeted him as stefan stood behind him and waved.
“this place looks nice.” nick responded
“yeah we made alot of money from the band so we spent it on this nice house. anyways want a tour?” zach explained.
“sure.” nick smiled. the two led him in the house as they showed him all of the rooms in the building. the best part was that they even saved a bedroom for him to sleep in if he wanted to come over for a night.
“cool, isn’t it?” zach smirked.
“yeah but…” nick paused for a second to think of what he was going to say next. “uhh… i think there’s a room you guys forgot…” nick finally said.
“like what.” stefan responded.
“just follow me ok???” nick hastily said as he walked towards an odd closet towards the back of the house.
“is there something interesting in here or what?” zach commented.
“do you guys even know what’s behind here?” nick questioned the duo.
“uhhh… i dunno…?” both stefan and zach said in unison. just as they both said that nick suddenly opened the door to…
a black void?
“is there even a light switch in here?” nick said exploring the room.
“man i’ve never been in here before… maybe that’s a good thing?” zach said as he pulled stefan into the room.
“anybody in here?” nick said before suddenly falling down. “AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1” nick shouted.
“we have to save nick!” yelled zach urgently before stefan and him jumped dowm with nick. as they fell down, they started to see sudden changes in their appearances. they weren’t wearing the same clothes as before and it even seemed like their bodies were changing too. as they finally hit the floor, they were in a place they couldn’t even fathom to exist.
“o-ow… my balls hurt… anyways w-where are we?” zach said in a confused manner
“f-fuck…” stefan grunted.
“uhhh… g-guys…” nick scratched his head. “w-why do you guys look so different?”
“uhmm…” zach replied looking at himself. he was dressed up like a knight whilst stefan had a sleeveless black shirt and two black bracelets with yellow spikes on them, as nick wore a green cloak with a pink scarf.
“is this some prank?” stefan said during a long, pregnant pause.
“i don’t think even our craziest fans have the balls or money to do this.” zach rebutted.
“we should atleast find a way to escape from here!” nick said whilst looking around the dark area. they all agreed with nick and started to explore the hollow place of rock.
“uhhh… hello?” nick called out.
“that won’t work, nick.” stefan muttered out, but just when he said that, the gang saw a shadowy figure near them. it was short and fat, like a pillow.
“awww who are you little guy?????” nick said impulsively.
“i’m british.” the figure spoke out in an american accent before suddenly shooting projectiles at the group.
“OH SHIT!!!!” zach screamed, running away from whatever that was. as they started running away whilst bullets came from left to right, the saw a cliff and jumped down, hoping it would atleast help them get away from the weird creature.
“oof” stefan said as they landed down.
“I think they’re away for now.” nick panted.
“we might be here for a while guys…” zach had no hope in his eyes.
“c’mon dude we’ll find a way out!” nick said, trying to cheer up zach. “anyways let’s go now” nick walked up ahead.
“wait for us atleast.” stefan said, out of breath. once the two finally caught up with nick, they all spotted at castle with a fountain going all the way up to sky to their left.
“woahhh…” zach observed.
“cool.” stefan whispered under his breath.
“wonder what’s over here…” nick said as they all walked towards the castle. as they got inside, they say a figure wearing a grey cloak, unable to see what was inside.
“welcome heroes…!”
“who the hell was that?” stefan yelled out.
“do not be alarmed… i am not your enemy. please come forward, all of you.” they all walked up to the mysterious individual.
“welcome. i am the prince of this kingdom… the KINGDOM OF DARKNESS.” the band could understand that the voice was now coming from this cloaked figure.
“stefan, zach and nick… there is a LEGEND in this land. a LEGEND that one day, a band of three HEROES of LIGHT will arrive, and fufill the ancient prophecy, foretold by time and space.” the presence explained.
“please, heroes… listen to my tale…” the figure begged. the group agreed to listen and the cloaked person started to speak…
“once upon a time, a LEGEND was whispered among /mu/.
it was a legend of HOPE.
it was a legend of DREAMS.
it was a legend of LIGHT.
it was a legend of DARK.
this is the legend of DEATH GRIPS.
for millenia, LIGHT and DARK have lived in balance, bringing peace to the WORLD.
but if this harmony were to shatter… a terrible calamity would occur.
the sky will run black with terror, and the land will crack with fear.
them, her heart pounding… the EARTH will draw her final breath.
only then, shining with hope… three HEREOS appear at WORLDS’ edge.
A DRUMMER, A VOCALIST, and A GUITARIST.
only they can seal the fountains and banish the ANGEL’S HEAVEN.
only then will balance be restored, and the WORLD be saved from destruction.
today, the FOUNTAIN OF DARKNESS- the geyser that gives this land form- stands tall at the center of the kingdom.
but recently, another fountain has appeared on the horizon… and with it, the balance of LIGHT and DARK begins to shift… “
