The beginning of the end (gacha story)

Chapter 4: The reveal of an ancient's past.

Creator eyes are blinded by the white light as she enters, her hands covering them as she continues to walk. "Damn it, why's it so bright here? My eyes aren't used to this." She grunts as the light shines even brighter in her face, annoyance brewing inside her body. "Ugh seriously! Can this light be any brighter?!" She yells with slight anger. She continues to walk through the white landscape, her steps feeling like she's walking through thick layers of snow while handling a blizzard despite not feeling any sort of cold front. Eventually, she stopped to catch her breath, exhaustion had caught up to her as it felt like hours of walking. "I should really exercise more..." she says to herself as she sits down on the floor. The white canvas she's surrounded by makes her feel small, almost miniscule. She looks around one more time before blinking wearily. "I... really need to... " Before she could finish her sentence, she collapses on the ground, her exhaustion evident as she sleeps away. Time passes as creator continues to sleep, the white light gets brighter as if signaling her to wake up. Creator doesn't flinch in the slightest as her body continues to rest. The light flickers with frustration, knowing that she got this far only to fall asleep right before even finding out why she's even here in the first place. The light thinks as it flickers, suddenly getting an idea and disappears for a bit. Creator groans as she shakes her head, recovering from her state of sleep. "Damn... how long was I out for-" She pauses her sentence, realizing she's still in the white void. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I'M STILL HERE?!" She exclaims with anger and shock. Creator thought all of this was a dream that she experienced but her thoughts were crushed with just a simple look of where she still was. Creator noticed the light and stared at it with confusion. "What are you flashing about?" she asked the light. It didn't respond. She tried to ask again but was flashbanged before she could even utter a word.

When creator opened her eyes again, she was greeted by a monotone environment. It was unfamiliar to her and looked around with more confusion. She wandered around for a bit, hoping to find some answers on where she was and why she was there. As she continued her journey, the sound of voices were heard in front of her, as if a fight was ongoing. Creator gave a quizzical look to it and decided to walk closer. Within a few moments, creator could hear the pleading of multiple voices, along with a somewhat insane and sinister voice outside of the other voices. "We can't let you ruin the world Ellie!" a low, enraged voice shouted as a soft chuckle was heard. "Oh Ben... how are you going to stop me? The chaos is meant to last! It's my entertainment!" A feminine, yet deranged voice exclaimed. Creator's eyes widened with shock as the conversation continued. "We won't let you ruin the world with your corruption! We will cure it of your sickness, you foul creature!" the summoning of a weapon is heard as another masculine voice yelled at what presumably is Ellie. "Oh? And how do you intend to stop me, Isaish?! You're not that dumb to hurt your dear friend right?!" She spoke with a wicked smile as her artistic, paint-like tail brushed the floor, creating her weapon of choice. "Please! Let's be reasonable with this Ellie! Your 'entertainment' is ruining the world! The peace! The tranquility of mankind! This isn't right and you know it!" another feminine voice screamed as the two men protected her with their weapons. Creator kept watching from the sidelines, fear and shock overwhelmed her thoughts. "W-What is this? Why am I here?! What is this corruption they're speaking of?!" Creator's thoughts are infested on the argument, making her more anxious as the conflict continues in the background. "Ellie! Just listen to us! You're not yourself! Whatever made you do this was because of an external force! I know you feel so much joy right now but this really isn't the way!-" Before the other feminine voice could finish, Ellie screamed at the group with chaos-fueled rage. 'I've had enough of this peace! This is boring and you all know it! The chaos frees me from this! All this time, I never realized how fun it is to witness pain, suffering and pure malice!" her manic laugh getting more psychotic as the group's figure flinches at Ellie's remarks. Isaiah turns to the group with a determined look while raising his sword at Ellie, "The time for negotiations are over Ben! It's time to get rid of her. Once and for all." Creator gasps as she hears this, temporarily snapping her out of her panicked thoughts. "Get rid of her? What does he mean?" It was all so confusing for creator to absorb at once. Ellie's eye twitches, displaying her patience is at wit's end. "Enough of this nonsense! Let's fight this out like how we did in the past!" her smile grows bigger as she punches Isaiah away with her tail. Isaiah is sent flying from the impact but quickly recovers and stops himself by implanting his sword into the ground. The rest of the group start activating their powers and summoning their weapons, all prepared to fight Ellie. "Oho! Now this is what I call a battle to the end!" she exclaims with pure joy as she starts to glow bright red. At that moment, creator's eyes widened, it was the same light she saw in the bathroom before she blacked out. "W-What...? That light... I've seen it before! B-but... what does it have to do with me-" she looks down at her hand and sees it turning black with the same bright red outline. Creator starts shaking with fear, afraid of what's happening to her and why it's happening. "What's going on with my hand?! Someone! Help!" creator screams at the top of her lungs with pure terror in her voice, her expression growing more anxious the longer she witnesses the fight between the group.
