NEW GAME PLUS + (JSAB AU)

Reuinion

Tomorrow had come around, Feeonix surprised he even remembered to head to location that Cycy had requested of him to head to for their walk. It was really the only thing on his mind before he had fallen asleep, and the key thing he had remembered when waking up.

Having grabbed and put on some good walking shoes, not bothering to change but at least freshen up a little... nearly rushing himself to get out the door, Feeonix had left his apartment and searched up the location he had to head to. His brow raising in curiosity as he saw the place was the park that the great treeangles resided, "...Of all places." Feeonix grumbled under his breath. Pocketing his phone and heading to the park, he didn't need any directions to know where those damned trees were. On his way there his eye had spotted various banners littered across the streets, and various triangle shaped decor.

Finally having headed to the park, he could spot Cycy and the cyan hero's father sitting at one of the benches. Feeonix gave a quick wave, heading over to the two shapes. The hero's father, Kyuube had given a smile before speaking up, "I'm glad you could come over." He had said with a smile, Feeonix giving a nod in response. The demon didn't tend to talk to Kyuube often, I mean what did he really have to talk to him about? What he had brought that man through? His unnecessary anger he felt at the man for years? Feeonix couldn't help but feel a bit guilty at the lack of ability to give small talk. Another guilted thought to add onto the pile in all honesty.

Regardless, the two others had gotten up to take their walk. "I don't mean to sound rude, Kyuube, but I've been curious about why exactly you wanted to take a walk around here...?" Feeonix asked curiously, raising a brow as Kyuube glanced up at him with a patient smile. "My apologies for not telling you sooner, but today is the anniversary of the island's founding." ...Ah, that explains a few things. Feeonix could recall as he walked here all of the plenty of banners and colorful decorations he had seen, he felt a little foolish for not checking his calendar in haste of trying to get out the door, "... I wish to invite you to a small picnic with the other heroes. Now that Saffron is done studying in the academy, and Aurum is finished with training."

Feeonix could only think troubled thoughts about the invitation, he knew the heroes could tolerate him, but this was also a very... troubling anniversary for him as well. This was also day where his brother was trapped, and he was cursed. Not the fondest day he wished to recall of. As Feeonix paused for a moment in his thoughts, and a hesitation in the back of his mind, he had given a small nod regardless.

"I could come along for that. I wouldn't mind at all." He answered with, as Kyuube gave a small hum of approval. "Wonderful. Well, the picnic is just up ahead. By the treeangles." He said with a smile, as they soon came across the small group. Penta, the pentagon hero, Saffron, the Orange Hero, and Aurum, the triangle hero.

All at a picnic blanket. As the three went over and sat down at the blanket, Kyuube had explained cheerfully of Feeonix's inclusion. "I feel it would be a pleasant favor returned, considering his generosity with all of the events he invites us to, without charge." Kyuube said, Aurum giving an inquisitive look as Feeonix remained quiet, and minor conversations went around, as the heroes caught up on their recent adventures.

Saffron had apparently become an investigator, seeing the once nerdy and quiet hero look so professional was... a bit jarring, in all honesty. Aurum was working to become a mage... and Penta was doing stray adventures here and there. Cycy was the only one without much changed about him. Same old business when it came to him.

Feeonix could relate to that for the most part... Some things just don't change. As he chomped on a sweet bun he was offered, He listened to their conversations with half-listening ears. With a stray thought, Feeonix glanced up at one of the four Treeangles. The one of a bright, white color, a hue of blue ever so tickled across it. Cycy gave a raised brow, noticing the glance. "...What? Thinking of stealing the great Treeangle again?" Cycy had taunted in a joking tone, though Feeonix couldn't help but roll his eye. "Nah. I'm too small to do that again." He joked back. Saffron gave a small chuckle as the tension he felt from being around these heroes lightened up once more. He can only wish that his presence didn't give the heroes too much tension either. When it came to the thought of the theft of the Treeangle, Feeonix had no reason to do so again, honestly. Anger and corruption had clouded his vision back in the day. Corrupting him further than he already is...

Feeonix brushed away the thought. He didn't want to think too hard about what had happened or what could happen. As Feeonix had briefly looked back at the heroes, He continued to listen to their conversations. Saffron asked him a question, he didn't completely register it as the sound of explosion had caught everyone off guard. Feeonix's head snapping back over to the origin of the noise that had seemingly had come from the Treeangles direction. He... Knew one person that... Definitely had a reason to take the Treeangles again. The one person he never wanted to see again. One person that should have definitely remained dead.

His brother. Blixer.

As the sound of the explosion had caught everyone's attention, the grinning demon they had all unfortunately could recognize, who had launched himself to on top of the trees. "FINALLY BACK AFTER YEARS OF BANISHMENT. I HOPE YOU DIDN'T MISS ME TOO MUCH!" Blixer yelled out from below, another individual seen from uptop the treeangles aside the demon, unknown to everyone. The heroes and Kyuube had gotten up quickly. Now on guard, yet Feeonix still frozen in shock. The near storybook heroic comments coming up, words scrambling all over each other. At least that's what Feeonix thought, as his train of thought scrambled as Saffron had yelled out their words the loudest.

"How in the hell did you come back?! We blasted you to bits!" Saffron exclaimed, Blixer's smile able to be seen all the way from the high trees. "QUITE THE AMAZING QUESTION, LITTLE HEINOUS HERO! AS THE ONLY QUESTION I'LL ANSWER FROM YOUR SOON-TO-BE GENEROUS KING-" Blixer started off, Kyuube giving a hiss from the comment, he continued. "I'VE COME ACROSS QUITE THE LIKE MINDED SHAPE. BROUGHT ME BACK FROM QUITE THE PAINFUL FATE. I INTRODUCE TO YOU, MACABRE!"

Blixer had announced loudly, his tone almost like an obnoxious host at a theater. As the demon had spoken, the other mysterious shape on the tree had hopped down. Their appearance that of covered in armor and a near ghostly cloak, a dark pink scythe displayed in their hands. Before Feeonix and the others could do anything, Macabre threw down an artifact at their feet. A level. "New Game Plus." It had announced itself as. With not a second more the level had sucked him, Kyuube, and the heroes into the level. Blixer soon having entered as well, as the scenery became dark and neon pink bright.

Nothing could have prepared them at all for this. It was just their luck a new hellish adventure had to happen.
