Stellaria the beginning

The lighting holder

Jay had always been the confident type, the kind of guy who could walk into a room and instantly own it. At just fifteen, he was already known in his high school for his sharp wit, quick reflexes, and a smile that could disarm anyone. But there was one thing Jay was especially proud of—his girlfriend, Mari. She was his world, and he'd do anything to protect her.

One day, after school, Jay and Mari were hanging out in the park, enjoying the late afternoon sun. Everything seemed perfect—until the sky darkened unnaturally, and the ground beneath them started to tremble. Jay's instincts kicked in as he shielded Mari, trying to figure out what was happening. Then, without warning, a burst of energy erupted from the ground, swirling like a vortex. It was the Zero point —a mysterious anomaly connected to the shattered Nexus, and it had come to claim him.

Before Jay could even react, the energy engulfed him, tearing him away from Mari's side. He felt his body being pulled through space and time, his mind flooded with unfamiliar sensations. When he finally landed, it was in a place that was both alien and terrifying—a world caught between dimensions, twisted by the chaotic remnants of the Nexus.

Disoriented, Jay tried to get his bearings, but something felt different. His body was tingling with energy, a crackling force that he could feel under his skin. Experimenting, he raised his hand, and to his shock, lightning shot out from his fingertips, striking the ground with a deafening crack. He concentrated, and his form shifted, his body transforming into different shapes at his will. He had gained powers—lightning and shapeshifting—but with them came the realization that he was no longer on Earth. He was stuck in this strange, broken reality, far from Mari, and he had no idea how to get back.

As Jay wandered through the distorted landscapes, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had been brought here for a reason. But whatever that reason was, all he could think about was finding a way home to Mari. He had promised to protect her, and he wasn't going to break that promise now.

It wasn't long before Jay stumbled upon a group of three other teens who looked almost as out of place as he felt. One of them, Rizure, with glowing eyes and an aura of immense power, noticed Jay's approach.

"Hey!" Rizure called out, his voice carrying an authority that made Jay pause. "You alright? You're not from here, are you?"

Jay, still adjusting to his new powers, smirked, his natural confidence kicking in despite the situation. "You could say that. I'm Jay. And yeah, I'm definitely not from around here. One minute I'm with my girlfriend, and the next... well, I've got lightning shooting out of my hands and I'm stuck in this messed-up place. You guys look like you know what's going on. Mind filling me in?"

Steven, the Reaper who carried an air of quiet wisdom, stepped forward. "We're trying to stop something called the Nexus from destroying reality. It's already caused a lot of damage, and it looks like you've been caught up in it too. We could use your help."

Justin, the fire-wielding teenager, nodded in agreement. "The Nexus is connected to these anomalies. We're all here because of it, and if we don't do something, it's going to tear everything apart."

Jay considered their words, his mind racing. He had no idea what the Nexus was, or why it had given him these powers, but he didn't need much convincing. He could feel the danger in the air, the way reality itself seemed to be unraveling. Plus, there was no way he was going to sit around and wait for someone else to solve the problem when he had the power to do something about it.

"Alright," Jay said, his smirk turning into a determined grin. "I'm in. But here's the deal—I'll help you guys save reality, but when this is all over, I need to get back to Earth. Mari's waiting for me, and I promised I'd keep her safe. I won't let her down."

Rizure, sensing the sincerity in Jay's words, extended his hand. "We'll do everything we can to help you get back to her. But we're going to need your strength. Welcome to the team."

Jay shook Rizure's hand, feeling a sense of camaraderie he hadn't expected. These guys were like him—kids thrust into a situation that was way over their heads, but determined to fight their way through it. And with his lightning crackling at his fingertips and the ability to shapeshift at will, Jay knew he could hold his own.

As the four of them—Rizure, Steven, Justin, and now Jay—set out on their mission, the world around them seemed to shudder, as if reality itself was aware of the force that had been assembled against it. Together, they would face the dangers of the Nexus, each driven by their own motivations, but united by a common goal: to save reality from being torn apart.

For Jay, every step forward brought him closer to finding a way home to Mari. But for now, he was part of something bigger—a team with the power to change the fate of the world. And with his new friends by his side, Jay felt a surge of excitement and determination, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
