A trillion years ago, the God of the Universe, Arceus, created all the other gods, who worked to shape the universe with their amazing elemental abilities. As time passed, the gods granted mortal beings the powers of these elements. And with these elements, the mortals shaped their own destinies. Whether they chose the Path of Good, or the Path of Evil, their destinies and their histories were recorded in the Memory of Time.

A terrible tragedy happened, where Arceus fell into a fit of rage, and his essence was scattered. He was revived by the one known as Negatar Gnaa, who used Arceus to bring the cosmos into ruin. But with the guidance of Morgan Catherine, and many noble heroes, and villains, by her side, Gnaa teamed up with his opposite, Aang, and brought Arceus to the light. The universe was brought into a new era of peace.

This is a story that many now know. But what they didn't know… was Arceus created another universe, before creating the other gods. This universe was known as the First Dimension. This dimension was so chaotic, so unbalanced, that Arceus had to seal it away. For without other gods to give it order, it would fall into ruin. And to keep its chaos from leaking into the new dimensions, Arceus sealed it with a powerful lock, made from the most powerful of the elements: Time.

But this was not the only reason Arceus wanted the dimension sealed. Before its imprison… Arceus destroyed the central world of that dimension, with an incredible cataclysm, called the Apocalypse, and ordered the survived inhabitants of that world to design a brand new one. He told them that was where they would live… but as they finished their design of this beautiful new world, he lied. And the Lock of Time kept them sealed away, to prevent beings of this New World from learning the truth.

The gods stole the credit for this world's design, and no evidence of these exiles' existence remained. Because of the gods' balance… the universe entered trillions of years of peace…. however:

Unknown to Arceus, two worlds were created, instead of one. One that existed on a parallel plane, but intersected with the former. And in the process, a second gate, besides the Time Gate. This was known as the Space Gate. With no lock, the unbalanced energy would begin to leak from this gate, and in time, the great cataclysm that destroyed the first world – The Apocalypse – would happen again. And it would've been the Negatar's actions, that would set these events in motion. The great cataclysm that would destroy everyone…

But as was the case with these first people, there would be hope for the people of this created world. When the Day of Apocalypse would near… 20 Keys of Light and Darkness would be awakened. These keys would open the way for those deemed worthy enough to enter the Land of Dreams… and from there, design the very foundation of the brand New World.

The Underworld. Center of darkness, sadness, and misery in all the universes. The souls of the fallen cursed to drift in its eerie rivers, the sins of their lifetime giving it warmth, and their tears of sadness letting it flow. It was a very dark place, where dark things happened. And in the deepest of catacombs, a dark entity waited, and her simple associate, for a dark purpose. She was a towering colossus, her hair snaky and her green eyes sharp. Standing at her feet, a chubby man with a growing black beard, munching his cherry pie as he stared at a newspaper. It bared the image of Zanifr Mimchi, a gray-skinned being with thin orange horns, beaten and bloody, stains on his black shirt and purple cape. Wrists chained to a wall, having been arrested at Underworld Prison.

UNDERWORLD PRISON'S BIGGEST, EASIEST(?) CATCH

On what seemed like an average day, newly-appointed prison warden, Magellan reported finding a near-dead mortal unconscious outside Underworld Prison's front gates. Left by an anonymous culprit, a note confirmed this being to be Zanifr Mimchi, the true identity of infamous rebel demon Majora, considered in the same league as Ganondorf. While none knows of his attacker, nor the events leading to his arrival here, for crimes against demon and spiritkind, he is awaiting punishment in the deepest confines of Underworld Prison. Magellan stated to have locked Majora in his own private cell, lest he stir trouble with the other inmates of that floor. Security in the prison has been doubled tenfold on the alert for any suspicious characters and prevention of break-ins.

The man laughed ecstatically, mouth wide with several teeth missing along his lips. "Zehahahahahahaha! I can never stop looking at it! I just feel so prideful in my work! You think they'll grant me a pardon 'cause of this?"

"I doubt it." Medusa's voice echoed. "They aren't like the cheesy mortals of the overworld. But Zanifr's betrayal, really proved helpful."

"Zeeehaha. For now… but how do you know he'll try to save him?"

"In his foolish mission to follow his mother's footsteps… he'll show sympathy for anyone. I'll have to rely on it. The rest of the Darknesses are down there."

"Ahhh, but Darknesses are easy. They're already corrupted. Not to mention, I reached the Logia level. Shouldn't you worry more about the Lights?"

"Hmmm, it's true, some will be difficult. But this world is doomed nonetheless. They can never handle it all. The corrupt government, the business empires, those measly supervillains… everyone will engage in the race for survival. The event that was precursored in 2012, will now happen 20 years later. I have been forestalling this day, ever since I helped those shabby fools defeat Arceus. I'm just glad I don't have to put up with that whiny bald brat anymore."

"Awww, but Lord Gnaa was the light of the party. It's sad to think he already made it ahead of us. He won't have to worry when it happens; 'less his opposite takes the beating. Zehahahahaha!"

"Be more concerned for your own… Blackbeard. When time comes to save the other Darknesses, don't expect them to get so buddy with you."

"I'm actually looking forward! It'd be great to have some REAL company! I've actually read about what these people have done, and perhaps we could exchange a few ideas."

"I'll hold you to that…" Medusa looked to the heavens with a relaxed sigh. "Mmm HAAA hahahahahaha! The tides are changing, Blacky! The worlds are entering a new age! A time where ALL beings have to show their stuff or sink in their filth! If they thought the Firstborn Quest was overbearing, JUST WAIT! By the end of this, there may hardly be anything left! Get ready, mortals… as of this day: THE QUEST FOR THE SEVEN LIGHTS HAS BEGUN! AAAAAH HA HA HA! AAAAAA HA! HA! HA! HAAAA!"
