The Chaotic House

Research

A few weeks flew by, and the group had their noses to the grindstone, busy with training, tinkering with gadgets, and tossing around wild ideas about what the future might hold. But today, something was different. Ravi sat with Chester, staring at a screen that had just revealed something... unexpected.

"So, you're telling me it's official. I'm the Nova?" Ravi squinted at the glowing screen in disbelief. The words "Prince Status: Found" flashed back at him, making his stomach churn with a mix of excitement and confusion.

Chester, leaning back against the table with a smug grin, gave a casual shrug. "Well, the description matches you perfectly: olive green skin, dark starry spots, antennas with stars attached, 5'5, birthmark on your left forearm, and four arms. Dude, that's you in a nutshell. It's as legit as it gets."

Ravi ran a hand through his hair, his brows knitting together. "But if I'm this big deal, wouldn't my parents have been looking for me? I mean, it says I've been 'found'-so, who exactly found me? And how do they even know it's me?" His voice was full of skepticism, the weight of his supposed royal bloodline sinking in like a rock in his chest.

Chester scratched his chin, thinking for a moment before giving his usual nonchalant answer. "I dunno, man. Maybe you should ask your locket? That thing seems to know more than anyone around here." He nodded toward the mystical charm that Ravi always kept close.

Ravi groaned, the idea of relying on the locket always making him uneasy. He pulled it out of his pocket anyway. "Fine. Let's see what it has to say this time," he muttered, flipping it open with a slight flick of his wrist.

As soon as the locket snapped open, a swirling blue vortex of light appeared, casting an ethereal glow around the room. The familiar hum of magic vibrated in the air. Ravi braced himself, expecting the same cryptic images he had seen before, but suddenly, something shifted. The swirling prediction he thought he knew so well changed.

"What the...?" Ravi muttered, leaning closer to the glowing amulet. His heart pounded in his chest as the familiar vision swirled into a new, unexpected revelation.

-AMULET VISION-2 weeks before the 'incident'-

Ravi crossed his arms, an impatient scowl on his face. "Make it quick! I've got places to be," he grumbled, rolling his eyes in annoyance.

Moxxie, drenched in a strange blue luminescent liquid, knelt before him, his eyes wide and desperate. "I've finished everything... all my tasks. Please, Ravi, let me come back," Moxxie begged, clutching Ravi's legs as if his life depended on it.

Ravi raised an eyebrow, his voice dripping with suspicion. "Are you really done, or are you just trying to worm your way back in to steal more secrets?" he accused, his antennas twitching.

"I'm serious! Please!" Moxxie cried, his voice cracking. His grip on Ravi tightened, the glow of the liquid making his plea seem even more pitiful.

With an exaggerated sigh, Ravi rolled his eyes again. "Fine. But if I hear one more whisper about Brenson... I swear, I'll take you down myself," Ravi threatened, his antennas flaring with faint steam, showing just how close his patience was to snapping.

Moxxie flinched, trembling as he stood up. "I swear... I won't mention him again. I won't," he stammered, clearly terrified of Ravi's wrath but filled with guilt that seemed to crush him from the inside.

Just then, Hayden sauntered into view, his usual smirk plastered on his face. "Lucky we caught him in time. If not... we'd be done for," Hayden sneered, his tone cocky yet playful.

Ravi nodded, his expression softening as he glanced at Hayden. "Yeah... you were the one who really saved us, Hayden. I've gotta admit, you've got potential. You'll make a great addition to the team," he said, his smile sincere, eyes glinting with determination.
