Paul: Aye, I do Welcome to the castle of Creations.You can call it kingdom of Creations

FLASHBACK TO AARON MATTHEWS STORY

(Ten years ago)

Aaron: Mom, where did you keep my lunchbox? I'm going to be late for work again.

Aaron's Mother: I'm coming, Aaron. Breakfast is almost ready.

Aaron: Leave it, Mom. I'll get something to eat at work.

Aaron's Mother: Can't you just wait, son?

Aaron: Mom, it's my first day as manager. What kind of person would I be if I came late every time?

Aaron's Mother: Wait, honey. At least take the leftover from last night's dinner.

Aaron: Thank you, Mom, but no.

{Aaron starts his car.}

Aaron: Late for work already. Just this and that and we are good to go.

(Aaron driving on the main road.)

{A truck appears in the middle of the road, crushing Aaron's car to pieces.}

Aaron wakes up to see he has been summoned by a goddess.

Aaron: Huh — am I dead?

Goddess: Welcome, Hero 7785, to the Temple of Unity. My temple — pick any skill you want, Aaron.

Aaron: Skill? I have a job to attend to; my mother is waiting for me at home. I don't have time for any of this. Who are you anyway?

Goddess: You don't need to know that. You died, Aaron. A run-over truck crushed your car, killing you. I know a lot about you.

Name: Aaron Matthews Ramsey

Age: 33

Sex: Male

Relationship: Single

Occupation; Manager

Aaron: You could have left out the "single" part. How did I die?

Goddess: A certain creation caused your death.

Aaron: Creation? What are you talking about?

Goddess: Yes — a certain creation. He opened a portal in the middle of the road leading to your death. To cut to the chase, I want you to have your revenge: kill that creation and I can summon your mom here.

Aaron; Is it possible to pick all the skills on board

Goddess; Yes Of course my hero

Aaron; What's the name of the creation.

Goddess; Catherine Daughter of Dessers Stark

(Aaron, without thinking about the conditions, seeks revenge.)

Aaron: I accept.

( TEN YEARS LATER

TO PRESENT TIME )

Ashley: Kyle — can you stop flying around?

Kyle: Why? I'm the next Head of Creations.

Ashley: I know — but you haven't even seen other realms.

Kyle: Are you mocking me?

Ashley: Yes. You don't even know where the Castle of Creation is or kingdom of Creations whatever they call it

Kyle: I knew it — you took Mom's personality.

Ashley; Of course

(Thunder rumbling.)

Ashley: Don't tell me that's Catalyst again.

Catalyst: I'm here, Ashley. You just called the police to arrest me, right?

Ashley: Oh then who the hell is that?

Kyle: That thunder isn't coming from our world.

(A huge figure enters the Earth realm.)

Aaron, also known as Hero 7785: Hello, Creation's Lineage of Stark.

Kyle: Who are you and what do you want?

Aaron (Hero 7785): To kill you, of course. You know — I happened to hear you call yourself Head of Creations.

Ashley: Kill us? You must be out of your mind.

Aaron (Hero 7785): Out of my mind? No, darling — it makes perfect sense. She said you creations think you're unkillable. You creations have caused more harm to people without thinking about it.

Kyle: Harm? We haven't done anything to anyone.

Aaron: You haven't? You must be joking, Kyle. Your fight with Mythol the realm Beast cost my mother her life. She was traveling for summer holidays.

Kyle: That wasn't me — it was Mythol who launched that massive attack. I'm sorry my fight with Mythol caused you to lose your mother. But mythol wasn't it fault neither something Wrong happened to her that day.

Aaron (Hero 7785): Sorry? That won't matter now — you killed her four years ago. The mission given to me was to kill Catherine Stark but she is hard to find, So I will kill you both instead.

Kyle: I see someone sent you. Who is that?

Aaron (Hero 7785): You don't need to know, because you both will be dying by my hands. Yes — prepare to die, creations.

Kyle: I'd like to see you try. (Elemental Release — Temp_ _ )

Ashley: No, Kyle — you haven't mastered full control over the "element temple" yet.

Kyle: What should I do?

Aaron (Hero 7785): I would prefer it if you looked this way.

( As Aaron Hero 7785 punches Kyle in the face )

Ashley: What did you do to my brother? (Elemental Release — Gravity Control)

Aaron (Hero 7785): It's useless, Ash. I know all the tricks a creation can do. It just so happens you can't use any other element except this Gravity Control.

Kyle: Get away from my sister, you bastard! (Elemental Release — Anti-Gravity Control)

Aaron (Hero 7785): I told you it's useless, didn't I? Time for me to attack you both. (Elemental Release — Space and Time Control) Can you see it, both of you? The real power of a summoned hero.

Ashley: I can't breathe very well, Kyle.

Kyle: Hold on — I will do something now.

Aaron (Hero 7785): Better not, because the more you move the more it suffocates. You can see how those people felt when you fought with Mythol. Now you can join your dad wherever he is right now. (As Aaron laughs.)

Ashley: Do you think your mother will be happy to see the way you turned out?

Aaron (Hero 7785): What do you know? I worked hard just to get to see her face every day, until one day I couldn't see her face anymore. I asked the priest what's wrong — that's when he showed me what happened. Any man would do the same for his mother.

Kyle: Already losing sight.

Ashley: Oi big brother, stay with me. If only Dad had taught us how to use our powers instead of searching for his lost brother. Somebody please help us.

(As Ashley & Kyle fall unconscious.)

Aaron (Hero 7785): Time to finish this. (Elemental Release — Crest of Orde_)

Paul: Aren't you a little fast, moron?

Aaron (Hero 7785): How did you save them? No one has ever entered my space and time barrier before.

Paul: You call that thing space and time? 😅 Looks like everyone creates stupid things and calls them space and time.

Aaron (Hero 7785): You're the new Head of Creations, aren't you?

Paul: I can see you have already done some damage to my cousins.

Aaron (Hero 7785): It's fine — I will just kill you three all at once. (Elemental Release — Crest of Ann_ _)

Paul: What's wrong — can't use your powers?

Aaron (Hero 7785): What did you do?

Paul: Oh, I took control over your space and time barrier, setting rules that only I know.

Here is a little present (Elemental Release — Dimensional Explosion)

Aaron (Hero 7785): You bastard. (As Aaron Hero 7785) collapses; as he looks up to the sky.) Look at me Mom — nothing but a failure who couldn't avenge your death. 😭 Huh — I'm already fading away.

Paul: You fought well. Hmm, what's your name again? Oh — I see — it's Hero 7785.

Aaron (Hero 7785): It's Aaron. Thank you for releasing me from this curse.

Paul: Your mom would be happy to see you again. Take care in the spirit world. (As Aaron's body fades away.)

Paul: You two are nothing but trouble. How am I going to carry them to Aethoria Realm now?

(Portal opening to Aethoria Realm.)

THREE WEEKS LATER

Maid: Good universal morning, sir.

Kyle: Where am I?

Ashley: Oh — good morning, brother. You were asleep for three weeks. Thank God Paul healed you.

Kyle: Paul? You mean our cousin?

Ashley: Yes, he's alive. He said when you wake up you should come see him at the chambers.

Kyle: Alright.

Ashley: Whatever happens, do not be surprised by what you see or hear.

Kyle: Yes.

(To the chamber.)

Paul: I can see you're doing well, moron.

Kyle: Who are you calling moron? So this is the Castle of Creations.

Paul: Yes. Do you know why I called you here?

Kyle: If you think of giving me Head of Creations, sorry — but I'm rejecting it.

Paul: Why? It's your birthright.

Kyle: No it's not. (Kyle says angrily.) My father told me when I was five —

Paul: Okay — be my right-hand man.

Kyle: What. Why me?

Paul: You dare defy my request? (Paul says in a deep voice.)

Kyle: No, my king — I will gladly accept the position.

Paul: I want you to meet someone. Come in — Fujimoto Sai and Maya Reyes.

Sai: Yes, my king. You must be Kyle Stark.

Kyle: Yes.

Paul: Someone should go call Ashley and tell her to come here at once.

Guard: Yes, my king.

Guard 2: Ashley Stark — the king demands your presence.

Ashley: I'm coming.

Ezra (whispering to Paul): Now you're behaving like a king.

Paul: Watched too many movies.

Ashley: I'm here, Paul.

Valot: It seems you do not have any respect toward the king.

Ashley: Please forgive me, my king.

Paul: Stop it — you're free to call me whatever you want. Okay — now we have Kyle, Ashley, Sai, and where the hell is Riley?

Ashley: Oh — he's with Mom handling business matters.

Paul: Go summon him at once, Valot.

Valot: Yes, my king.

Paul: The rest of you are dismissed — Kyle and Ashley. Ezra, I have something to tell you.

Kyle: If it's about my dad I don't care.

Paul: I think you're getting the wrong idea about him.

Kyle: What idea? Do you know when last I saw my dad? Before you went missing, Paul. I'm freaking twenty — haven't seen that old man since Riley was born.

Paul: Everyone leave the room — Ashley, Kyle, and Ezra remain here.

Ashley: I don't hold grudges against the old man, just that... (sobs)

Paul: It's true I don't understand your pain, but at least hear what happened and how he died.

Kyle: I'm not doing this.

Ashley: Big brother, please — it might be important.

Paul: In your father's lighthouse I found a big secret.

(Kyle stops to Listen.)

Paul: He wanted to give it to you

Kyle: I don't want to hear it.

Paul: A right-hand man defies his king's order?

Kyle: Ezra, or whatever your name is, what's the old man's story?

Ezra: Thank you for calming down, Kyle. Now where should I start? That's right — about the person who killed your father Harry Stark.

(Past of Harry Stark)

Ezra: Your father was the second Child of Desser & Ava Stark.

Kyle: I know.

Ezra: What you don't know is that your father had a brother.

Ashley: Mom never said anything about Dad having a brother.

Paul: Can you let him talk, please?

Kyle & Ashley: Sorry. Please continue, Ezra.

Ezra: Thank you, my king. As I was saying, your father had two siblings: Catherine & Harry Stark.

(To young Catherine & Luke Stark.)

Young Catherine: Come — let's play, big brother Luke.

Young Luke: Wait for me — you're flying too fast. Why don't you join us, big brother Harry?

Young Harry: I don't have time for silly games and play. As the next ruler of the Ten Realms I need to be serious always.

Ava: That's my boy, but you need to play sometimes. A king should also have time for his family. Now go join them, alright?

Young Catherine: Has he kicked again, Mom? Oh — I see his hands.

Ava: Don't worry. When I give birth you will have someone who will play with you always. Go welcome your dad — he's back already.

Young Catherine: Yes, Mom. Everyone — Daddy is back! What's this, Dad?

Dessers: Funny girl. It's a bull — I caught it in Calanthor Realm; it was attacking people.

Ava: Welcome, darling.

Dessers: I'm back. After dinner I have something important to say to everyone.

(After dinner.)

Dessers: I can see everyone is at the chamber.

Ava: What is the matter, honey? Why are Ezra and Valot here?

Valot: Don't mind me — I was summoned here.

Ezra: More importantly, why is the usurper here?

Wherever she goes, trouble follows.

Usurper: coughs Good evening. I will proceed to the main issue here. Catherine Stark — the Cosmos Beings have approved you to be the next King of Creations.

Young Harry: No, no, no — impossible! That's my right — my throne, my crown. I am the first child!.

Dessers: Silence. How dare you speak, Harry? After all, King of Creations doesn't start from firstborn or rights.

Young Catherine: I refuse.

Usurper: What? Why?

Young Catherine: I want to be a uccessful person . I don't have time for any realm issues or whatever.

Dessers: You see — I told you she lacked interest.

Usurper: We will have to force her to rule.

Dessers: You may be a cosmos being, but do not touch my family, usurper. I mean it.

Usurper: Of course. So I guess it's between Harry and Luke. In three months the Cosmos Beings will judge. A lot of matters will be brought to both of you to settle. Of course some matters will include taking lives.

Young Luke: What? No — I don't want to.

Young Harry: It's fine, Luke. Having a rival isn't bad.

Young Luke: Are you sure? I don't want any.

Young Harry: No problem at all; besides, I need to get better at making decisions and growing my strength.

Ava: Honey — I have a bad feeling about this.

Dessers: Usurper, we need an agreement that if Catherine rejects it, Harry will be king.

Young Harry: You had it in mind to give my little sister the throne? Aren't you ashamed, father? (As Harry walks out of the chambers looking furious.)

Ava: I will go talk to him.

Ezra: Do it fast; a creation mustn't carry negative emotions for too long.

Ava: Yes.

(Ava speaks to Harry, pleading with him to forgive his father. It's not like your father don't love you, He does more than anything in world )

Dessers: I haven't done anything bad, have I?

Ezra: The kid has a sense of responsibility, but in another way. We both know Catherine is stronger and has created more elements than anyone in the realms, including you.

Dessers: I know, but...

Valot: You can give whoever you want the throne — the usurper is nothing but a cosmos witch.

Dessers: Goodnight, everyone. Tomorrow I will crown Harry King of Creations.

Ezra: Don't do this out of pity, my king.

Dessers: I know.

(MIDMORNING 3;40 AM )

(Ether singing.) 🎵🎶

Ether: Harry, Harry — don't you cry. Ether is here to grant you your wish. My lovely boy — sleep at night. 🎵🎵

Young Harry: Who's there?

Ether: Oh, me? I'm in your head, little Harry.

Young Harry: In my head? What are you saying?

Ether: You called me, little Harry.

Young Harry: I didn't call anyone.

Ether: Oh, you did — through your negative thoughts.

Young Harry: That still doesn't answer my question. Who are you?

Ether: I'm what you call negative thoughts. In regular people I don't talk, but to creations I can.

Young Harry: So you're saying I called you?

Ether: Yes, you did, little Harry. I can grant you powers more powerful than formal creations, including Raymond & Ethan Stark.

Young Harry: You must be joking. No one has ever surpassed Raymond James Stark.

Ether: But with me by your side you can surpass them. Just say the word. (Forbidden Element — MALICE.) Of course I won't force you to accept me.

Young Harry: What are you saying? I have been waiting for someone like you to appear.

(Dessers senses Ether's presence.)

Dessers: Honey, Harry is in trouble.

Ava: What?

(Castle alarm — danger.)

Young Harry: Rise and shine, foolish family.

(Night of Harry SONGS 3;58 AM)

Young Harry: What's this? I can feel it. Can't believe negative elements had so much potential.

Young Catherine: Big brother Luke — wake up! Brother Harry is glowing red. This is really bad.

Dessers: Harry — let go of the negative elements.

Young Harry: Shut up, dad. You have no right to order me around anymore. With this power I can bury you in the deepest part of the ocean.

Dessers: Son, you don't understand the power you have — it corrupts one's mind totally.

Young Harry: Shut up — you're just scared. I have more power than you, old man.

Ava: Don't do this, honey. Don't listen to your father. But me — alright, let go. I promise you that you will be alright.

Young Harry: With this power, Mom, I can rule in fear and terror.

Dessers: A true king rules with —

Young Harry: I said shut up, dad! (Unleashing a large energy burst and splitting his pregnant mother into two.)

Young Catherine: Mom! No, no, no, no! What have you done, Harry?

Young Harry: I didn't mean to. If only Dad had shut up for once.

Young Luke: Don't you dare blame Dad for this. You were just too greedy. All you ever thought about was power — nothing more.

Dessers: Kids, help me. Honey — please stay with me. (Let me heal you up.) Where the hell are Ezra and Valot?

Maid: Please don't talk, my queen — you're losing too much blood.

(Ava reattaching only her head and throat.)

Maid 2: At this rate, my king, the baby will die.

Dessers: Ezra, Valot, I need your help.

Ezra: I'm here, my king. This is bad, really bad. Who did this? No way.

Valot: It has to be a mistake, right?

Ezra: I can heal one of them in full condition. Pick, my king — your wife or your unborn child.

Valot: Choose now, my king. Both their lives are in your hands.

Dessers: Let me think... Oh my God, my brain can't process this. What's going on?

Maid: I think she's trying to tell you something, my king.

Ava: Dess — honey. Whatever you do, please find it in your heart to forgive him. He's your first child. I love you and will still keep on loving all of you.

Valot: Both she and the baby are gone.

(Dessers screaming: No!)

Young Catherine: It's all your fault, big brother. I will never forgive you. Never.

Young Harry: What do you think you can do to me, little sis?

(Elemental Release — Universal Control. Catherine launches the first attack.)

Young Harry: That was close — too close. I don't care if mom is dea*

Young Luke: Don't you dare say it

Young Harry: (Elemental Release — Anti-Gravity Control.)

Young Catherine: It's useless against me. (Elemental Release — My Will: sharp spikes start flying toward Harry.)

Young Harry: Not bad. I can see why that cosmos witch wanted you to rule. You handled this attack.

(Forbidden Element — Night of Harry Songs.)

Young Luke: What is that sound? (Cries of the dead.) Stop it, big brother.

Young Catherine: My hatred for you is more than the tears of the dead. (New Element — Solo Destruction.)

Young Luke: She is creating new elements in battle . No wonder the Cosmos Beings were interested.

Young Harry: Ouch — that hurt. You destroyed the right side of my body. Impressive.

Young Catherine: (Elemental Release — Solo Destruction.)

(Young Harry taking multiple hits .)

Young Luke: Dad, you have to do something. Both of them are fighting themselves to death.

Young Harry: You almost killed me with that attack. (Harry breathing fast.) Shit — heal up, you damn body.

Young Catherine: (With a death stare looking right at Young Harry.) You're never going to escape me, big brother. Even in death I will hunt you anywhere, anytime. My hatred for you will never change. I used to look up to you; I called your forbidden element beautiful. You were so cool, but now I can see the real you. (Elemental Release — Solo Destruc.)

Young Harry: Help me — Ether, I need your help.

(Ether arriving.)

Ether: You called me, little Harry. (Ether takes control over Harry's body.) Now we are one.
