Stellaria the beginning

The summons

The morning after Rizure's emotional dream, he awoke with a renewed sense of purpose. He knew that the battle against Geno and the Nexus couldn't be fought alone. The Keepers were strong, but they needed more allies—heroes who could bring their unique strengths to the fight. So, Rizure decided it was time to call upon those who might tip the scales in their favor.

Stepping out into the early morning light, Rizure made his way to a secluded area within Stellaria, a place where the Nexus's power could be safely channeled. He closed his eyes, focusing on the energy coursing through him, and began to call upon the heroes he had heard of in distant legends—those who had remained hidden until now, waiting for the right moment to reveal themselves.

The air around him shimmered, charged with the energy of the Nexus as Rizure summoned the first hero.

From the swirling energy emerged a figure clad in flowing white robes, her presence as cold and ethereal as a winter's night. Her long, silver hair cascaded down her back, and her piercing blue eyes held an otherworldly calm. She carried herself with a grace that spoke of ancient wisdom and an unyielding will. This was *Snow Dancer*—a woman who could control emotions with a mere thought, bending them to her will, and who could survive and thrive in the harshest of winter conditions.

Rizure stepped forward, addressing her with respect. "Snow Dancer, thank you for answering the call. Your powers over emotions and the cold will be invaluable in the battles to come."

Snow Dancer nodded, her voice as soft as falling snow. "I have felt the disturbances in the Nexus. The balance of the world is in jeopardy, and I will do what I can to restore it. But know this, Rizure—emotions are a double-edged sword. They can be harnessed, but they can also consume. Be careful of what lies within your own heart."

Rizure acknowledged her warning with a nod, understanding the gravity of her words. He then turned his attention back to the Nexus, summoning the second hero.

The air shifted, rippling like the surface of a calm sea. From the watery energy stepped a woman with flowing turquoise hair and skin that seemed to shimmer like the surface of a sunlit ocean.her eyes a deep, serene blue. This was *Leyna*, the woman who could control water in all its forms—whether it be the gentle flow of a stream or the crushing force of a tidal wave.

"Leyna," Rizure said, greeting her with a slight bow. "Your mastery over water will be a powerful asset. We need your strength to restore balance and push back against Geno's influence."

Leyna smiled softly, the sound of waves echoing in her voice. "Water flows where it wills, but it can also be guided, shaped into something more. I will lend my powers to your cause, Rizure. But remember, water can be gentle, but it can also be relentless. We must be both if we are to succeed."

With two powerful allies now by his side, Rizure focused once more, reaching out to summon the final hero.

This time, the energy crackled with electricity, and a figure emerged—tall, metallic, and imposing. The being's body was sleek and robotic, with glowing lines of circuitry tracing intricate patterns across its frame. Its eyes were a vivid, unnatural green, flickering like computer screens. This was *Scratch*, a robotic man created with a unique and dangerous ability known as *Corruption*. He could glitch anything he touched, destabilizing and corrupting it until it bent to his will or crumbled under the strain.

Rizure regarded Scratch with a mix of awe and caution. "Scratch, your power of Corruption is something we've never encountered before. It's a force that could turn the tide in this war, but it must be wielded carefully. We need your help to disrupt Geno's control over the Nexus and to protect Stellaria from further harm."

Scratch's voice was mechanical, yet strangely human, laced with a digital echo. "Corruption is not merely destruction; it's a redefinition, a rewriting of the code that governs reality. I will assist you, Rizure, but remember—once something is glitched, it can never return to its original state. There are risks involved."

Rizure nodded, understanding the implications. With Snow Dancer, Leyna, and Scratch now on their side, the Keepers had gained powerful new allies. These heroes, though not part of the original team, were exactly what they needed to face the escalating threat posed by Geno and the Nexus.

With the three heroes gathered, Rizure led them back to the heart of Stellaria, where Steven, Justin, Jay, and Jules were already waiting. The Keepers looked up as Rizure and the new arrivals entered, their expressions a mix of hope and curiosity.

"We've been through a lot," Rizure began, addressing his friends and the new heroes. "But this isn't the end. We've lost battles, but we haven't lost the war. Snow Dancer, Leyna, and Scratch are here to help us. Together, we're going to find a way to stop Geno, stabilize the Zero Point, and protect what's left of our worlds."

Jay, still shaken by his vision of Mari, stepped forward. "Whatever it takes, we're not giving up. Geno may think he can toy with us, but we're not going to let him win."

Justin nodded, his eyes blazing with determination. "With their help, we have a fighting chance. Let's show Geno that we're not backing down."

Steven, always the voice of reason, added, "We need to be smart about this. We've got powerful allies now, but Geno's not going to make it easy. We need to work together, plan carefully, and strike when the time is right."

Jules, who had been working tirelessly on her research, looked at the new heroes with a mixture of awe and determination. "We'll keep working on stabilizing the Zero Point. With Leyna's control over water and Scratch's ability to glitch systems, we might be able to make progress faster. And Snow Dancer's control over emotions could help us stay focused, keep our morale up, and maybe even turn Geno's own forces against him."

Rizure felt a surge of hope as he looked around at his friends and the new heroes. For the first time since Geno's attack, he felt like they had a real chance. They weren't alone in this fight, and with Snow Dancer, Leyna, and Scratch by their side, they might just be able to turn the tide.

"Alright," Rizure said, his voice filled with resolve. "Let's get to work. We have a world to save."
