304. Tooru ~Origins~

"Years ago, there was once a warlord of limitless power. This warlord grew power ever since five thousand years ago. This horrifying warlord killed millions of women, men, and children. The warlord wanted one thing: Anarchy. This was a drive found in his blood that led him to madness.This warlord believed in a false god that once was... A legendary being is known as Bill Cipher, and his daughter, Black Diamond. He rebelled against the Gems and believed their fascist ways to be inhumane and cruel... and that the destruction of government was the key to the success of evolution for all from his race... Only recently did he allow other races to join him in his crusade..." 

"Years before... there was once a slave on the Philippine island of Luzon, captured by the Spaniards from the mountains... An Aeta man named Tolo was a simple man. He did as he was told, he farmed enough rice, he cleaned his master's clothes, and he served him well...But every time he broke a rule, such as touching the master and his family without their permission..."

*CRA~ACK!!!*

*CRA~ACK!!!*

*CRA~ACK!!!*

*CRA~ACK!!!*

"MMPH!!!" sobbed Tolo, as he was lashed with his master's whip.

Tolo had dark skin and black curly hair. He was rather short and weak. He was skinny and bony and had nothing but red shorts to wear.

*CRA~ACK!!!*

*CRA~ACK!!!*

Tolo vomits blood. He drops to his knees, shaking.

"LEVANTATE (STAND UP)!!!"

*CRA~ACK!!!* *CRA~ACK!!!* *CRA~ACK!!!*

"LEVANTATE (STAND UP)!!!"

*CRA~ACK!!!*

*CRA~ACK!!!*

He Erstewoges as a Rock Human and hums in pain, as he shook and tried to stand up.

*CRA~ACK!!!*

*CRA~ACK!!!*

*CRA~ACK!!!*

"Years of being tormented as an unaging slave made him hate himself. He, after all, was a Rock Human and was seen as a monster by the Spaniards, both because of his skin and his true self. One day, however..."

*THWIP!!! THWIP!!! THWIP!!!*

"FUEGO!!!"

*BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!*

Icicles are shot into their faces.

Tolo, confused, whimpers and hides under a carriage.

He sees a tall pink-haired white man shoot icicles at the Spaniards, who are very confused with what he is.

*THWIP!!!*

*THWIP!!!*

*SPLAT!!!*

All the Spanish guards were killed and the man faces Tolo's master and the master's family.

"Por favor!" sobbed the woman. "No! No!"

*THWAP!!! THWAP!!! THWAP!!!*

Everyone in the family drops down, dead.

"I have found you," said the man, speaking in English. "Disculpe... Mi español no es muy bueno. (Sorry. My Spanish is not very good...)"

Tolo keeps away, dazed and confused.

"You copied an Aeta's body, and you were adopted by filthy white men instead," sneered the man. "Alas... I am also a white man..."

The white man woges into a Rock Human, revealing that both of them are the same. "Yet both of us are closer than you think..." He offers his hand to Tolo.

"Poor fellow Golem... treated like an animal for what he truly is by these filthy Humans and Mediums..." He helps the man up.

"Salamat... (Thank you...)" said Tolo. "¿Cómo te llamas? (What is your name?)"

"Llamas? Llamas..." The man gives him a sweet and loving smile. "Narcos Anastasia."

"Soon... The man, Tolo, was chosen as his adviser. For 300 years, Tolo became like a son to Narcos Anastasia as they both ruled the Cryptid world in secret."

Tolo reads the number at the back of his left shoulder.

"11419201199," Tolo whispers.

"That's my facet and cut number combined... Facet-N114C1920 Cut- A11N99. I was born from an inorganic egg and raised as a slave for the Spectral Gems around 6,000 years ago.I named myself after each numbers' letter equivalents."

Narcos pats Tolo's head, as he turns red.

"Your name, however... You remind me of a god from Norse Mythos... said to be the strongest of the Asgardians...'Thor...'Destined to defeat all.Survivor because fittest.Bender of fate.Tooru... A good name for you..."

"What is fate?"

"Fate is something that we are on the side of... We belong to be with fate... We are all controlled by preestablished facts called fate. Humans are made a certain way, and you can't change that. You can never change who you are... No matter what, you will always be what you are... a monster... Even if you magically forget everything... you will always be the same... Nothing can change who you are... your personality... your ego... your instinct... It can never change... Unless... of course... you have something in your body that gives you unlimited potential."

"What is it?"

Narcos shows Tooru...

... a Stand Arrow.

"Tooru believed that. He believed that fate could be somehow churned and warped... like how his fate was warped by one day. One good day that changed his life forever.If he had this power, he and Narcos would become unstoppable.The power of fate...The power of a god...Went in his hands...Upon getting stabbed by the Stand Arrow, he gained a special power...The Stand 'Wonder of U'...This Stand gave him the power to control fatalistic instruments known as Calamities, which brings fate closer to its target.It's an automatic Stand.Once the Stand is seen, it will bring Calamities to that person if and only if that person thinks about the Stand or its User.Strangely, Wonder of U can work against normal non-Stand-Users, showing itself to them in an unknown way.But then...One day, Narcos Anastasia was shot and fell into the sea at the docks near Burnham Beach.Presumed dead, it wasn't until 40 years later that Nora Anastasia, a presumed relative, assumed the position as the Boss."

"So... that is your story," said The Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime.

"Precisely," sneered Tooru, speaking in a British accent.

"You're rather tall for an Aeta," said Dru-Zod, the Kryptonian General.

"I am a Rock Human..." said Tooru. "I am the adviser of the current Boss and I swore my allegiance to him.That's why I can never die...Either I die by the hand of the gods, or I will never die."

"Why don't you just stab yourself with the Stand Arrow right now?" asked Emil, the human form of Abomination.

"That would really save us some time," said Flag-Smasher, the anarchist of America.

"Uh-huh..." said Carnage. "Yes... Ye~es... We agree."

"You idiots!" yelled Tooru. "You have to be at the moment of worthiness... where your resolve is at its most high. That moment is when the holy object will choose you to be worthy."

"We don't need Stands," sneered Flag-Smasher.

"Well, of course, you don't!" yelled Tooru. "You are gods and demons even without Stands...However... I will tell you this...The moment when you need it most, I want at least one of you to stab yourself with the Stand Arrow and gain Stand Power...If and only if I die... Give yourself Stand Power, would you? And destroy everything then bring anarchy."

"Why is it that you want to bring anarchy?" asked Green Goblin.

"Same with you, Arthur," said Tooru. "I was a slave of society... I've been at the mercy of those who call themselves the rich..." He turns to The Joker and Green Goblin. "The powerful..." He turns to both Zod and Flag-Smasher. "And the normal..." he turns to Emil and Carnage. "They called us their doomsdays... They called us abominations... I SAY WE ARE MIRACLES!!!"

The killers cheer for Tooru. "YEAH!!!"

"THEY LAUGH AT US BECAUSE WE'RE FREAKS AND MONSTERS!!!I SAY, WE LAUGH AT THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!!!" cried Tooru.

The soldiers cheer for Tooru. "YEAH!!!"

"IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE FOR THEM, THEY EVENTUALLY HATED US!!!NOW, WE ARE AGENTS OF CHAOS!!!"

The people cheer for Tooru. "YEAH!!!"

The Joker and Green Goblin chortle psychotically.

"NOW, WE SHALL FINISH THE MISSION WE WERE TOLD TO DO!!!"

"Well, well, well!" sneered Kenneth, who wore his Endezichen Grimm get up and held up his scythe. "Let us begin, then."

Kenneth presses a button on his other hand.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Four random orphanages blow up in Maharlica.

Meanwhile...

Gabrielle and the entire group stare in shock as they see the orphanages being reduced to rubble.

"This just in... the League of Anarchy had caused four orphanages, The Mewman Orphanage Elementary in Mewnie, Gotham's Orphanage for Gifted Children, Xavier's Orphanage for Gifted Children, and the Speedwagon Orphanage all blew up at 7 PM today in Maharlica. About 11,000 orphans have been killed and 3,000 are still being searched under the rubble.We truly are dealing with a great tragedy... and the best thing to do is just pray and hope for the best."

"That fucking asshole..." Bruce facepalms and turns away.

"Why'd they do this!?" asked Monroe.

"Because these people think that they're gods," said Narcos.

"No..." said Bruce. "They're taunting us. They think they could get to us, but it won't work."

"What makes you say that?" asked Mercuria.

"Because we have two pages of their three-page plan... And we know what they're going to do..."

Bruce takes out the page and scans it with Gabrielle's locket.

"You ready?"

He flips the page backward.
