- 1922 -

"I knew they exist, Jarvis, I knew It!!!"

"I'm not crazy Jarvis!!!"

"I understand Master Alan but- "

"Enough Jarvis, leave me alone".

"Yes, Master Alan".

The Butler close the door gently and leave quietly. Meanwhile, his master, an elderly man with full white hair, sitting on his couch. Everyone he knows had said that he becomes paranoid and senile. No matter what he said to them. But he knows, something is watching over this city. Some kind of secret organization, lurking in the dark and watch over every single life in this city. But they never believe him. They think it's just his paranoia, that he is still shocked by his wife death. But he knew they are real because he had seen them.

"No matter what I said, they never believe me. Even my own son, my only child….".

Suddenly a voice emerges behind him. "You are not crazy Alan, we are real…".

"You…you are from the Court aren't you…".

"Yes…".

"I knew it!! I'm not crazy, I'm not senile, this is not just my paranoia!!!".

"Yes…But sadly your knowledge has a price for it...".

"You- ".

Many years later, people believe that Alan dead in natural ways, and so did his descendent.

Five years old John searching for antiques in his family basement. Upon old rack of book, his eyes focused on one peculiar book. The cover is made of animal leather. The page is so ancient as its content. John opens it up and reads it. "In this world, there are many natural entities that keep the balance of the Earth. These entities are the personification of an aspect of nature. The Green, the Red, the Black, the Grey, the Clear, the White, the Burn, the Melt, the Metal, and the Divided. Each one has a great role in every life on this planet. The balance must not be destroyed as it may cause catastrophe and endanger the life of every creature. It is our role as humans to prevent it and balance the situation. Our family has- ".

< John's POV >

"Ugh… Where am I?" he woke up and brought his eyes on his surroundings and realized, this place is so unfamiliar for him. But there is something in his mind that told him this place is so familiar for him, just like his home. He then stands up and opens the door. Green lush field come to his eyes. He was surrounded by big trees. This place is so lush full, but at the same time give him an ancient and majestic vibe.

WHOSHHHH

Suddenly a great breeze sweeps his face. But he can't tell what causes it. He brought his eyes up and notice a red blur in the air. He knew that's not a bird but something else, something big. Then he realizes the blur has wings but is not feathered like a bird. It's look batwing but bigger, and scaly, almost like.

"What the- Is that a dragon!!!" dragon, he can't believe it but roar that he heard right now confirmed his doubt.

"I-I think this is not earth anymore." He goes in and sat in his chair. Still thinking, what happened to him. He also knew that this body is not his. This place is so strange. Even without great concentration, he can feel magic in the air. He inspects his room and sees some old books. He read it and realize the language is unrecognizable to him but he understands what it's mean.

"Well, whatever is it, just face it!!!"

- Many Years Later, In Unknown Plane -

"Ugh that phantasmal beast is still raging!!"

"Damn it!!! Which entity that opens this gate!!"

"There are even a Tarrasque and Demons!! What the hell!!" in front of him stood a titanic monstrosity. It has a turtle-like shell and three pairs of feet. It looks draconic and rode upon that thing is the great nemesis of humanity and every life in this world. Demons. But it's so strange. Not on his great mind that demons have control upon a Tarrasque. It's bizarre, the monster itself is very rare and people had said that is only one Tarrasque in this universe. But in front of him, there is three of them. As not enough, he notices some creature he believed as an aberration. And of course, in such an evil army there are armies of the Undead.

"Those damn evil gods!!! At this rate, the great forest will be destroyed!!!"

"Ugh…I miss my old life..."

Suddenly a green-ray makes its way to him. "Oh shi- "

- Earth, 19xx -

CRACKKK!!!

CLANGGG!!!

"Ugh…where am I? Why it's so cold."

He wakes up and fell a strange sensation. He was naked and soaked in a strange fluid. He tries to cast magic to dry his body but can't cast it. He tries again and again but still can't cast it. He can't feel his magic like he uses to do he know there is a magic pool in him, barely. It's almost like his childhood. He looks at his body. It's felt familiar but he knows this isn't his body. But deep in mind, something told him, this is mine, and then he realized. His past, his early life. This body's his. His original body. The true John Alan Wayne. The chilling air stabs his body, but he doesn't bother it. His mind is still processing what just happened. He's back. Back to his original body, his old world. His true life.

He searches for something to cover his body. He finds some hospital gowns. He then realizes his current location. He's in some kind of place in the hospital. He also sees many tubes here. One of them is broken. He knew he's on the inside of it before he woke up. He walks to the endurance. He still feels weak. His step is unbalanced. But soon he regains his strength. Not on his pike, but feel like a normal person. His body brought him to the lobby. The interior is unfamiliar to him but he recognized some of it. He's in the Gotham General Hospital. A nurse approaches him.

"Can I help you?" she said in her tender voice. Her eyes look worried.

"Nothing, Ma'am. I just taking walk. It's so boring laying in my room every day."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Ma'am." He then walking to the calendar on her desk. He can't believe what his eyes see. "The year, w-wh-what's going on?"

"Are you okay?"

"Ye-yeah." He realized, he had spent many years in those tubes. "What happen?".
