{X's Motive}

Karl was tired but he couldn't sleep, so he was just up late talking with Ggostboo while he worked.
. . .
4am is around the corner, Karl sighed as he rubbed his eyes and looked down at the pages and pages of words.
". . . Even though I'm happy I've passed away, I still wonder who 'X' is."
Karl frowned, he turned in his chair,"What?", Ghostboo nods,"Yeah! It was really weird. I found these letters and notes about The Enderwalk!", Ghostboo then pulled out a couple books and pages, giving them to Karl,"Uh. . . Thanks?", Ghostboo smiled,"I'm gonna go see Callahan now!", so Ghostboo left Karl's room, he turned back to his ask and opened all the books from this mysterious 'X' person.

Karl was a little disturbed by the drawings, but he reminded himself that he's been through worse to have this not as his main problem.
"X and Z?"
The drawings could be covering something and some of the words were crossed off.
"Hm. Looks like someone found this before Ranboo, or did Ranboo doddle over it during an Enderwalk.", the door creaked over, Karl sighed and assumed it was just Sapnap or George coming back from seeing XD or their failed attempts to find Dream.
"Hey, Welcome back, food is in the fridge."
Karl turned the page around, maybe he could see what it was hidden.
. . .
*WHACK*

Karl tried to move, but he couldn't and felt like he was tied down to something.
"Huh-?"
Karl opened his eyes more, now he was in  a dark room and he was tied down with rope and chains.
"H-Hey, what the heck is this?!"
"Calm yourself."
Karl looked up, in front of him was someone wearing a black cloak with the hood being purple.
"You're in no danger."
They turned to him and Karl shuddered, they were wearing a black lab coat, a red tie but their eyes were covered with a white sheet but Karl could see scars peaking out from under it.
"Who are you. . .?!"
They smiled,"It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Karl Jacobs.", they approached Karl, stopping short after hearing a click,"My name is X and this is my assistant Z.", Karl looked at Z, who was an Enderman who looked over hostile so he tired his best to not look him in the eyes,"Why am I here. . .", "I wanted to meet you at last, you were spoken of very highly by an old friend.", Karl shifted in his restraints.
"Wait-. . . You're X?"
X smiled,"You've heard of me.", Karl looked around,"Ranboo found your notes about The ! You and Z worked on whatever it is!", X nods,"Indeed we did. And our research is somewhat still ongoing as we speak.", X smiled, Karl glanced at Z and noticed he looked like a normal enderman, not a hybird but there was torn clothes on him and he looked mad from the amount particals around him.
"Why am I here. . .?"
X smiled and turned their back to Karl,"You are here for a purpose, the purpose to learn and fix everything.", Karl was confused, Z them held out a photo to Karl and Karl looked it.
. . .
It was a picture of a normal Enderman hybird in a white lab coat, golden goggles and seemed normal while next to him was a shorter enderman with green eyes and. . .-
"Ran?"
"Indeed."
Karl looked at X, who still had their back to him,"Ran was, the one that spoke highly of you, he was my little brother.", Karl was shocked, Ran and this X enderman at related?!
"Other Enderman didn't like him because he was different with his green eyes, but he proved his worth as he grew up."
"But. . . Months ago in my time period, he went missing."
Karl froze, Ran was missing?!
"I went to his room, and I found out why he was missing."
X turned to Karl,"I know everything: Time, XD and The Other Side.", Karl gulped,"But. . . Why are you here?. . .", X smiled,"This was the last place Ran was sensed, so I buried myself in my research with Z to find him and bring him back home to safety. But I couldn't do it alone, not as long as Z is consumed by The Enderwalk and I can't see. So I learned more about your world Karl, and I know someone that can help me bring my brother back home. Your Adim.", Karl was shocked, did he need Dream's help!?
"You see, Karl."
X teleported behind Karl,"Me and Dream have a common goal; Protecting our loved ones from danger. But around the time I got here, he was in prison so I thought I'd attempt to break him out.", Karl froze, wait then that meant. . .
"You were then one that did it?!"
"Of course I was, I wanted to test the system and was thankful that Techno broke him out so I had to do nothing."
X appeared back in front of Karl, Karl shuddered,"B-But Tommy. . .", "Tommy got what he deserved.", "What do you have against Tommy?!", X smiled,"Well, if Dream agrees to help then I thought I'd do him the favour and show him what Tommy really is.", Karl frowned, he was scared to ask. . .

"What do you mean. . .?"
