Aqua Xtended

Summary:

This is heavily inspired by u/Keon550's Aqua+ AU on Reddit. For those who haven't seen that:

Aqua in this AU is Kris's sibling. This follows the main story of Deltarune, except... well, Aqua's there, and so is Seth. And naturally, because it's Aqua, things are even more different then the original timeline.

Notes:

Temporary title. Initially it was named just Aqua+ AU, now it's Aqua Xtended. It will probably change again. I will make a note of that when it happens. The prologue is wayy shorter then normal chapters, they'll typically be 1 to 1.5 thousand words each.

Chapter 1: Prologue 0.0.0

Summary:

The first prologue, containing Aqua and Kris bringing Seth to their house. This is like, directly based on the comic they posted of them bringing Seth to their house. I don't intend for ANY other chapters to be as... well, basically a carbon copy but in written form. Link to it, of course. https://www.reddit.com/r/Deltarune/comments/1vpf9yc/seths_prequel_comic_deltarune_aqua_aqua_lightner/

Notes:

Notes! Yay!
I figured it’d make the most sense to put in Aqua’s starting stats and gear here, so here we go: 60 HP, 12(13) Attack, 1(3) Defense, 3 Magic. Aqua Knife I (+1 Attack, +1 Defense) (A basic knife. Not too much to it, not too little.) (Because she obviously needs to have the Aqua Knife; it’ll get better as the chapters go on, basically, usually by combining it with other stuff.) and Frayed Red Ribbon (+1 Def) (A ribbon, frayed with age. Most of it’s defensive value has deteriorated. Could it be repaired…?)
Additionally, I’m going to have more like, typical RPG elements in this; and a few things. I will (hopefully) have more stuff in Castle Town; at least, use it a decent bit. And in the Dark Worlds they can find items I’m going to call Cores, which can be applied to weapons and armor to modify their stats.
Anyway I intend for there to be like, 5 prologue chapters? They'll be labeled as 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, et cetera, so if you go to the latest chapter and it's not a new chapter, there's probably a new prologue chapter. These should all be out by the time Act 1 is finished, though.
Also I have my thing divided into Acts, Sections, then Chapters. The prologue chapters will probably be shorter then normal chapters.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Aqua grinned at Kris, who was very carefully picking up the flower pot the purple flower was in. “Seth, Seth!” She spins around. “Let’s call them Seth?”

Kris smirked. “Oh, why not. Seth, sure. That works. Better than calling them ‘Purple’. Or ‘Violet.’”

Aqua tilts her head, “But those are colors? Why would we name Seth after a color?”

Kris sighed. “...oh, never mind. I guess you maybe wouldn’t have, huh?”

Aqua hopped around. “Wouldn’t have what, Kris? Wouldn’t have what?”

Kris shrugged, carefully holding Seth. “Anyway, where are we gonna put them?”

Aqua thought for a long moment as she walked along the sidewalk. “Hmm. Now I have to think harder thoughts. You’re mean, Krissy. Oh! We could put them with Tenna!”

Kris very clearly considered this for a moment. “Not a bad idea. Right by the window. They’d probably get along.”

The pair walked along the sidewalk, with Aqua occasionally commenting on something random, usually responded to by a short sentence or two from Kris, with, of course, an eye roll. After a walk, they arrived back home, and Kris placed Seth’s pot on the windowsill. They nodded. “Is that good enough, Aqua?”

Aqua spins happily. “yes, yes! Awesome!”

 


 

Seth glanced up around the room they’re in. They’re on a balcony of some sort, with light shining in from a gargantuan archway, with sheer cliffs going down. They felt… more alive then they did normally, like something in them had woken up. Kris and Aqua. They weren’t in Flower King anymore. I’m… I’m going to help them, as much as I can! They promised themself.

They gazed out the other way, and saw two things, overlayed on each other. If they focused, they could see one or the other.

One way, a large building- or, sets of buildings, spanning from many places, where at the farthest edge, they could faintly sense cold. They began to make their way dawn the cliffs, to the set pieces.

On the other, there was a living room, where Aqua had just ran out of the room, after Kris, upstairs, having said something Seth couldn’t catch. They smiled. They already liked it here.

 

Notes:

Chapter 1 will be released on the 12th of September
Chapter 2 will be released from the 15th to the 22nd of September
Chapter 3 will be released from the 20th to the 27th of September
All of those are the main possibiliites, except Chapter 1. Those are the ranges I am FAIRLY confident that they will release in, but if I'm a day early then, well, you get a chapter early. I'm giving myself a lot of backward range anyway incase I get lazy and don't end up writing it. But I think I will probably have that as a good range. I wanna get the first five chapters out within September, and then there might be a brief hiatus because I wanna have a backlog after that.
If you have any like, advice on this, mainly other tags I should add, please comment! (I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to that).
