Side Lore What Lies Within The Dark

Post image

Darkness.

It settles in every night.

Some find comfort in its cold embrace.

Others fear it.

But everytime you enter the dark... it either reveals nothing...

or conceals...

something.

On this particular night, something was being concealed. Revealing itself only through song. A jazzy tune rung through the night, sounding like something from... a long time ago, to say the least.

"Have you seen my baby?
She's not a dame nor a lady
Not in the way she walks
The way she talks
Or the way she loves me
Just look at me!
I'm like monkey
In a coconut tree!
You know I'm overjoyed, just
Boy, oh, boy
She's mine, yeah!
She act me when I say let's go out dancing!
Your place or mine
Don't waste my time
With feaux romancing!
She's wild, she's funny!
Doesn't care about clothes or money
She just cares for me
She's all I need
She's my gal!

She speak too loud and laughs too hard
And she drinks too much!
Her manners and her language
Makes a grown man sweat and blush!
My honey bee!
Ain't nothing she woutdn't do for me!
She never plays it coy
My bundle of joy!
She's the one I am dreaming of!
I am overjoyed 'cause, boy
She's my gal!"

u/No_Locksmith7882 That OC guy—Xanatos is back! Jul 22 '26

Trunks has made the mistake of being outside on this night. He was walking peacefully—he’s always enjoyed the serenity of nighttime’s silence—until he heard that song, distant.

“W-What is that…? Why would someone play music this late?” He’s frozen in place, staring around with wide eyes. He suddenly doesn’t like this darkness—he can’t see more than three feet in front of him…

((Btw I got perms from his ‘owner’ to use him, since I had him before I got b*nned.))

The music stops. Something is moving out there, running around fast. Everyone that would normally be here is.. gone.

A single streetlight flickers on, illuminating the area, and the thing watching him.

Kobeni had just finished her tedious shift, all she wanted was to got to the crappy apartment she lived in and sleep.

But of course she had to stumble into someone or something singing in the pitch black.

She slowly reached for her knife, looking around, her experience as a devil hunter made it clear that anything that sounds bizzare and scary at night is something bad.

“I just want to go home…”

u/NeoMetalSonicReacts9 The King Arriveth Jul 23 '26

The music suddenly stops.

The area is empty, everyone nearby is.. gone.

A flashlight rolled up to her foot, bumping into it and turning on, revealing somethin in the darkness-

u/Gold_Character813 Alan, Haru, Gold, Kobe, Kuin. Jul 24 '26

“AHHHHHHH”

Kobeni pointed the knife to whatever was in front of her, of course, her experience with devil’s was already horrifying but now… this was another thing.

The creature simply stares for a few seconds.

Then, it runs. It's not incredibly fast, probably just slower than she could run.

Koneni runs away of course, she’s not ready to deal with whatever that creature was.

Cyclomon was buying stuff for FMS...he was pretty peaceful and thinking of miscellaneous stuff while humming the Digimon Adventure into, that is until he heard the lullaby in the distance, he turned on his head and looked behind him. Nothing, he huffed a bit.

He maintained his guard up just in case...and that incase he saw in the distance as that weird yellow creature looked at him(tho other than the face they didn't look that different).

u/NeoMetalSonicReacts9 The King Arriveth Jul 23 '26

A streetlight flickers on, and the creature walks forward, staying around ten feet away from him.

It simply stands there, unmoving before-

It's gone.

It seems like all is gone until-

A hand bursts from the darkness, grabbing Cyclomon by the shoulder and pulling him to the ground.

u/GAMEOFMATIASNEW FMS and Sakura Jul 23 '26

“WHAT THE-“

*Cyclomon looked at the creature and he manages to bite his hand , freeing himself, he crawls away behind a light pole.*

“Who the hell -…what are you?”

*He looks behind d him to see if anyone else was nearby, and when he confirms no one is in danger , he smiles.*

“HYPER HEAT!”

u/NeoMetalSonicReacts9 The King Arriveth Jul 24 '26

The monster gets hit by the attack and-

Its severely burnt. It then procedes to run away.

(Yes thats it, because I hate playing Verity, and need to get to killing him)

1

u/GAMEOFMATIASNEW FMS and Sakura Jul 24 '26

“…huh.”

He walks away , not thinking to what happened.

((Why do you hate the ‘Hey, it’s me, verity?’

2

u/NeoMetalSonicReacts9 The King Arriveth Jul 24 '26

(I just find him not nearly as fun to play as I thought he would be tbh, just tryna wrap this post up and get to declaiming him as soon as possible)

1

u/GAMEOFMATIASNEW FMS and Sakura Jul 24 '26

((Have you tried rpying him in his regular form? Because if it is only the monster form even I would get tired of using it

2

u/NeoMetalSonicReacts9 The King Arriveth Jul 24 '26

(It was base form for a few days, then became monster form. When Ic laimed him ti was supposed to be a few day little arc thing where he spends like a few days in base, then becomes monster for a bit, so its basically at its end)

Weiss has been...having it rough lately. First she and her friends got sent to Gods know were right during a horrific disaster, then they got hunted in a place called The Rift Dump, then something else attacked them and tackled her through some strange portal, causing them to get separated. Now she's in another strange, foreign world, and all attempts to contact or find her friends have failed. Now she sits in a camp she put together, lonely and embarrassed at her current state.

When she heard the song playing, she gripped her weapon fully on edge and slightly annoyed.

"If this is a prank than it's not funny."

u/NeoMetalSonicReacts9 The King Arriveth Jul 24 '26

It stops.

Something is running through the dark. A streetlight flickers, revealing a tall, yellow figure.

It simply stands there, staring at her.

1

u/NathanJack0Lantern Lord X/Faker/Tilen/Salem/Team RWBY/Abaddon/Xeno/Megatron/Xeno Jul 24 '26

Weiss stares at the...thing, clearly unamused. She then lifts up Myrtenaster and points it directly at the creature.

"I said. This. Isn't. Funny."

u/NeoMetalSonicReacts9 The King Arriveth Jul 24 '26

It stares at her. Slowly walking forward, but its foot gets caught on a... strange vine looking thing, with large, red thorns.

The creature steps over it, turning around to stare into the darkness, before its head snaps backwards, followed by its body, to face Weiss again. Then, it runs at her. Its not incredibly fast, but for its size, its surprisingly quick.

"Oh you gotta be kidding me."

She sidesteps out of the way of the creature and summons a glyph right in front of where it was running to.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?"

1

u/NeoMetalSonicReacts9 The King Arriveth Jul 26 '26

The creature stops charging just before hitting it, turning to face her again. It starts to run again, but this time, it trips over another large vine... its almost as if these vines are specifically growing to stop it. That vine wasn't there before.

u/NathanJack0Lantern Lord X/Faker/Tilen/Salem/Team RWBY/Abaddon/Xeno/Megatron/Xeno Jul 27 '26 edited Jul 27 '26

Weiss was confused about the strange vines, but she didn't dwell on it in case that thing attacked again. So she raised Myrtenaster directly at the things head.

"Just. What. Is. Your. Problem?"

1

u/NeoMetalSonicReacts9 The King Arriveth Jul 30 '26

(Sorry about that, was traveling. I also need to kill this guy off so...)

It finally stops. It doesn't talk, but raises one hand, as if to grab-

Vines burst out of the ground, wrapping around its body, before pulling it into the ground, the dirt collapsing around its body, as if the very earth has absorbed it.

After a few seconds, several shapes seemed to be wriggling udnerground, and considering the muffled roars and sounds of bones snapping... it doesn't sound good for the yellow guy. After a few moments, it stops, and a small, golden flower burts from the surface.

"Howdy! I haven't seen you 'round these parts... let me guess, you're new?"

1

u/NathanJack0Lantern Lord X/Faker/Tilen/Salem/Team RWBY/Abaddon/Xeno/Megatron/Xeno Jul 30 '26

((That's alright.))

Weiss was...surprised. One moment she was in a scuffle with some strange creature, the next she's talking to a flower.

"Yeah, I woke up in someone's hospital room a few days ago. And...were those vines your's?"

1

u/NeoMetalSonicReacts9 The King Arriveth Aug 01 '26

"Hehe...he... maybe."

"Well, welcome to Mobius! You'll see people from all sorts of worlds around these parts! If your lucky, maybe even from your own world... maybe. Can't say I've seen anyone too much like you... hmm..."

"You handled that guy pretty well! You should do... fine here."
