Super Shenanigans

Season 3 Chapter one: Every Hero Has A Tragic Backstory

Spark, Lapis, Solar and Sunshine were all visiting Molie today. It was something they would do a few times a month

Sunshine: Grandma, what was Grandpa like?

Molie: He was a lot like Spark. Caring, brave, wanting the best for us

Spark: He died trying to save us

Molie: I don't think you ever told me what happened after the roof crashed

Solar: I forget most of what happened

Lapis: Same

Spark: Alright, I'll tell you all everything that happened. Curse of super intelligence I guess

Backstory time!

Back in Gimmelshtump, both of Spark and Lapis's parents failed to show up to their birt- no, wait, wrong persons backstory

This time for real

Back when Spark and Lapis were only 5 and Solar was 4, a pack of wolf mutants attacked the family. Their home was collapsing so parts were falling everywhere. Spark saw the roof was barely staying up and most of the wolves were under it. In an attempt to save everyone, he purposely made the roof collapse, burying everyone but Mollie in rubble. She was knocked out due to blood loss. A few minutes later, Felix and Emily showed up because they were on a walk.

They were only able to find Molie so they rushed her to the hospital. Back with the rest of the family, John (the father) was the first to wake up and got out of the rubble. He checked on everyone and was able to find Solar and Lapis with only minor scratches. Spark on the other hand, not as well. He lost his entire left arm in the crash.

It took 2 weeks of fending for themselves, but they were able to find an abandoned treehouse they could live in. There were berries for food, lots of rooms, it all needed some work but it could do the trick

As months went on, John got a job in town to take care of everyone. Because Spark had super smarts he was in charge of babysitting. Solar spent most of the time outside taking care of the garden with Lapis reading a lot of comics, and Spark spending time learning to play guitar and adventuring outside when John was home to watch over Solar and Lapis. He liked to go to a really huge pile of junk and create little contraptions. Things like blenders, ovens, electric skateboards, and a prosthetic arm. The prosthetic arm was just something that could open and close with voice commands.

At the one year mark of living together mostly happy, things looked like they couldn't have gotten worse. During a simple adventure with the entire family deep in the woods, a strange portal opened up with a strange creature stepping through. The creature could be described as a humanoid hog from another dimension with a strange arm. The Hog monster crarged right at the kids but John got in the way and got stabbed in the chest, almost killing him. All the kids saw it happen but Solar was the one who had the biggest reaction. His sadness turned into rage and one of his eyes turned red and he killed the hog monster in a rage of fire and blinding light. Spark and Lapis went to their father in his last moments of life. With his last breaths, he reminded his kids how much he cares about them and told them to stay together. His final words were "Spark... you're in charge now.... Make sure you give yourself and your siblings the best life possible..." and with those final words, he closed his eyes.

They spent at least 3 days being sad. At some point, Spark went back to the area of battle to give his father a proper burial. After the burial, he noticed the hog creature's arm again. It was a mechanical prosthetic with a laser shooter sort of thing and a small keyboard all made of a mix of gold, and a strange almost black metal Spark has never seen that was warm to the touch. On one side was an engraving reading "Rpunkvu vm aol Wpnspuz." He took the sword of the hog monster and cut off the robot arm. After a little testing, he created another one of those portals that led him to the treehouse. An idea popped into Spark's mind; he would use this technology to give his family a better life.

Spark used the new arm instead of the prosthetic he made and started to adventure though new dimensions. He made allies, found new tech and plants, and upgraded his family's lives. He got a job in his home dimension as a bounty hunter and explorer so he could know people in his home dimension. He met Trace and they created a team, he became the champion of Plasma Town to gain the respect of the people and to help make the town even better. And at some point, found Sunshine and gave her the best life possible.

End of Backstory

Spark: And that's the important stuff I can remember

Sunshine: Did you ever see those pig creatures ever again?

Spark: ... Sadly yes, but I would rather not talk about them for now. Also I later learned they are called Piglins

Molie: Would you be ok with showing me where he was buried?

Lapis: I do want to visit Daddy again

Spark: Alright, lets go

The family all went off to go pay their respects to John

Welcome readers, TO SEASON THREE!!! This is definitely a sader tone than what I usually go with but I wanted to write their past right and I think it came out well. Once again, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and the next. Bye!!
