Multiversal Swarm

Kingdom Of Dirt

I shot out of the universal warp and cracked the ground as I landed on my back! I got up groaning. Pain is a sensation I don't think I'll get used too ever.

I looked around to see I was in some kind of throne room. It looked like medieval stone work. Basic colors for the times. I've been in these time periods before and it turned out okay. As I looked around and observed more I saw this was not going to be one of those times.

I was standing in the middle of a full court. The hand of the king and what looked like half an army all eating at a huge table. The king a middle-aged fat man in a crown and armor sat with food still dropping out of his mouth in pure shock.

"Hey guys.... I'm going to leave now." I said as I turned to find some exit but I was cut off. A lean muscular man stepped out in nothing but the bottom of his armor. He had scars and even open wounds on his chest and arms. A couple were still bleeding.

"Think you can come in here and disrespect the king EH?! With your little light show! I'll deliver your punishment now!" He shouted as he drew a short sword and slashed at me!

I wasn't ready for his sword swing to be as fast as lightning so he managed to cut a couple peices of my hair! I dropped to all fours and flipped away, twisting at the same time and landing facing him. I came to my feet as he got back to me. He slashed again and this time I side stepped it.

I pushed him away and he sneared at me. He tossed the sword up into the air. He used that time to quickly throw three throwing knives at me. Assuming these are as sharp as his sword they hit me they'll know I'm not human. He jumped up to the sword. He jumped way higher than any normal human... Something's wrong here. My hair shouldn't get cut by these types of weapon's either.

As he came down I heard someone yell something. I rolled out-of-the-way and saw a flash out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head only to quickly turn it again to dodge a punch that was really fucking close to landing. I quickly flipped my leg over and slammed it into the back of their head! They slammed down and I quickly observed that it was the same man I was fighting... Except he had his armor on except for his helmet. He quickly got up and jumped back side by side with his Doppelganger.

Again someone was shouting but I couldn't focus because they were coming at me and their speed was starting to scare me. They both disappeared and for a split second I panicked. Without thinking I jumped just high enough to get my hands behind both of their heads! Using my strength and their momentum I dodged and countered at the same time! Their heads smashed together with a wet "THUNK"!

I landed as they collapsed into a mess of arms and legs, both their noses were definitely broken. They say their and bickered between themselves over which one was "The Dumbass". In my opinion they both seemed like hot heads. They seemed to have forgotten I was even there.

"YOU THERE!!! STOP THIS DISOBEDIENCE AT ONCE!" I turned to see a small fry of a man screaming his lungs out pointing a finger at me. I don't know who this man is... But I'm pretty sure I hate him.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" He screamed in my face.

"My name is Jesse.... I think-" he exploded

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOUVE INTERRUPTED? YOU HAVE SPAT IN THE FACE OF THE KINGDOM. LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID THE THE THRONE ROOM!" He pointed to the broken stone in front of the throne.

"Look man I can't control this shit. If I could I wouldn't have chosen to universe shift here while falling from fucking orbit you little bald bastard!" I fired back. Who the fuck does he think he is?!

"COME HERE!!!!!" The man in the crown yelled. The toady in front of me recoiled into his soul. He basically ran back to the king. I followed giving a glance back to see the two idiot's were following as well.

"He just appeared and then whips our asses?" Said the Shirtless one.

"Just shut up and walk." The other one fired back.

We came to the throne and the king dismissed the other three. I expected the toad to sit back down but he actually left the room entirely with the other two.

"This is something I can't help but feel uneasy about.... Do I kill you? Ask you questions first?.... Beat them out of you?" He said very sternly.

"With all due respect sir.... You couldn't even if you tried." I said very relaxed. His head shot up at that remark. The eye contact was long but soon he smiled. He pointed his finger at me and laughed.

"I like you... Jecki?"

"Jesse"

"Right right... You seem to be rather fast... Soki and Mori are two of our speedsters. They arent the fastest by any stretch but they use it as their main battle strategy. They've used their mastery of it to take down enemies much more powerful then them individually." He said this as if he were analyzing me.

"You could say that sir." I didn't really have a response.

"And you wrecked my throne room so you owe me a favor at the very least...." He got a grimace on his face.

"And that is sir?" Please don't be evil.

"SIT DOWN AND HAVE A DRINK WITH US!!!!" He screamed as he burst out in a fit of laughter. The whole room erupted into a roar of cheering! A very attractive girl in armor walked up with a mug filled with what looked like beer in it and handed it to me. She also gave me a note that I didn't read at the moment but put in my pocket.

I walked closer to the king and he gestured me to sit down. I do so and took a drink of my beer. I can't get drunk but I guess it's be rude not too.

"So the man who shoots out of a wormhole has to have a story. Don't worry about limited intelligence either. I'm not so stupid as to deny what's unnatural that happens right in front of me."

I took a drink of my alcohol and smiled. This is going to be a fun universe.
