### Let There Be Chaos

Eons ago, long before there was a concept of time, there was nothing. Order was rampant throughout the infinitesimally small region that was everything. No chaos, no creativity, pure order. Then, disorder arose. One who studies the studies of Chemistry and Thermodynamics may or may not remember the Second Law of Thermodynamics, or the concept of Entropy. Entropy. Disorder. Chaos, even. In that one second, chaos had distorted the delicate order, and the universe began to enlarge. That was what we know as the Big Bang. What we did not know, was that had caused this change of what had once been perfection? Time had never begun at that point, things repeated over and over, a cycle of nothing and everything, in a syncopated order of what was, and nothing of what wasn't. Yet, this was a paradox, for if there was to be only order, nothing could exist, as order represented death of being. Life was thrusted into a dead space for a second, and created the first sparks of chaos that would ever be needed for this world.

### The First Seconds

With such a sudden change, the universe just... expanded. The hot ordered blob of mess now had to be ejected, something was displacing it, rupturing its order, and more and more these changes began to happen, the first seconds began to pass on, the universe double its radius a quintillion times over in just 5 seconds, order being totally thrown into a freefall, igniting the sparks of chaos that would brush through more displaced chaos creating chain reactions that bursted energy through every corner, matter being concentrated and collapsing, bit by bit, creating pockets of dense, hot, clumps that would leave little room for anything, and the strongest forces ran through rampant without will or aim. Life began to form for the first time. Life not like us, but stranger. Beings made through the energy of entropy, beings, agents of chaos, whose only goal... was to cause CHAOS. They have went by many names, gods, creators, cthulhu, but the most common was OTHERs. These beings began to form, one after an other.

### The Multiversal Split

Time is an enigma, it had never began with order, and once chaos had been introduced into the system, the world began to split and duplicate, each new copy, nearly identical in all aspects, except one, placement. Through viewing these, one could see every possible outcome of any decision, and with the way of how choices came into chaos, one became two, two became four, four became sixteen, sixteen became sixty five thousand... and before long, there was so many choices... but not all paths stayed. Many were flawed, the chaos beginning to fade rapidly, time slowing down, before stopping... and the OTHERs would cast these old worlds aside to create new chaos to start new ones, this process continued through millennia, the oldest universes, surviving through only the most extreme of odds with their choices, would outlive googolplexes of their siblings. However, even today, the split continues to persist, but our story does not delve into many of these, so as such, we begin to drop down into scope. Let's flash forward, a couple hundred eons, to one universal system.

### The Formation of VOID

Not all was great for every inch of the universe over time had passed, the dense clumps of matter began to leave space... and in the spaces, forces unknown proceeded to give birth to a mysterious substance... invisible to most observation, due to the strange chemistry that permeates through it... and yet... it is not anti-matter... it is responsible for the quantum fluctuations that seemed to begin over the eons and millennia that would pass, and the OTHERs... would happen to discover this material. One OTHER... would decide to cast experiments with said substance. The OTHER, would dub this substance to be VOID. Such a substance that was beyond understanding, and yet... was able to be manipulated and touched at will by their kind... it was interesting. More so interesting when seeing its interactions with matter.

### Cataclysmic Creations

VOID is normally inert around matter, due to it being incapable of touching matter due to its place in other states of being. However when the OTHER who was experimenting with it, the VOID did somehow cling onto physical matter, both normal and ANTI-Matter. The results were catastrophic, to say the very least, a supernovae would be unleashed from such a force, blasting through the room, entropy increasing as the winds of creation blew, as a creation would be presented to its 'mother'. A being made of pure VOID... yet... stuck in the physical world... a quasi-OTHER, in a way. The OTHER, would decide to name the being, an Executor. Further experiments with ANTI-Matter would proceed to create a being that represented the opposite of the first. A being made of some ethereal light... full of energy to destroy matter. The OTHER named this being, a highest. There seemed to be a chaotic dislike between the two beings... but it seemed more out of the instability of matter... but the two could co-exist, and as such... the OTHER began to create more. These would be the gods of the lower worlds. The ones who would fuel disorder, since testing had found that the OTHERs themselves could not take forms without causing insanity in the victims, or intense reverence as gods or monsters.

### Unrest In Paradise

Something seemed to not be entirely right between the Executors and Highests. Five thousand years before events of the present time, the Highests had began to show signs of superiority. Them being constructed of ANTI-Matter, showed them prowess of being able to eradicate mortals, and Executors. They called this process 'Erasure'... and with such a power, a few individuals began to let the power corrupt them. One such individual, who had went by the name of Haloh, would begin to suggest the idea of erasure of entire universes, the sister universes that they oversaw, to try to create alternate timelines to try to promote greater order. They thought that this was the best idea, and believed as the 'superior' of the two species, that they had the right to do so. Another member, who was known as Exetior, held dispositions on this idea. Sure, there was a benefit, but over observing the mortals and Executors living in their mostly peaceful endeavors... he had grow to appreciate them... and he saw himself less as a superior to them... but as he was in a relationship with Haloh, who had fallen in line with a semi-cult of Highests led by a radical named 'All-Father' though, Haloh herself seemed to hold even more chaotic dispositions deep within her fractured psyche.

### Destruction of Paradise

The renegade group of Highests began their purge. Taking universes and flushing them with their bright light, intensifying order and killing universes, mortals and executors alike. The thrill of actually doing it fueled their desire to replicate it, and they began to do it more and more, again and again... the deaths of millions and billions shaking the order and chaos of the greater realm. The OTHERs watched with shock, and awe, but did not go to stop it, mainly due to fear of the chaos that would cause, the 'mother' of them... grew in so much shame, that she ran away, exiling herself... as another OTHER... would begin to take interest... and began to whisper things into the heads of Haloh and the All-Father, causing their actions to grow more extreme and radicalized.

### Reluctior's Request

The Executors, who had been at this point, mostly peaceful beings who used their powers of reality warping to their own gain, or to the benefit of others, began to take notice... and began to worry, but out of fear of causing more danger... they did not mobilize. Some of the Sharpers, including a rising star known as Sark, attempted to often try to save people from the erased universes, and he had grown a name, due to his fast speed, and his intense cockiness, but there was another Executor, one known as Reluctior, a derided nickname due his more peaceful nature for being a Sharper... he, at one point decided to go up to the group of highests... to request a ceasing of the erasure, citing that the stress and fear was causing mass danger and agony for the entire multiverse as a whole, and that they were creating a problem for this. Exetior, in particular was shocked by this, but... before he could do anything, he watched as his love, Haloh would begin to publicly, in display for the entire multiverse would begin to turn him into the world's martyr. The acts that were done, are indescribable that it entirely disgusted the council, leading to Haloh's public exile, and Exetior breaking off his millennia long relationship with Haloh. The OTHERs themselves were shocked by this, unaware that this was caused by one of their own.

### The First Executed

A rush of dread would flow through the groups of executors, as they all began to try to save the mortals... trying to prevent them from being erased, as some had gotten attachments to one of them. Sark, would happen to be one of the many, but as time would continue to go on... stress and fear began to take a grip over them... and a choice began to be thrusted through universes that were primed for erasure: Flee or Be Killed. Death was a mercy compared to the pain the erasure would grant them. Sark would at one point be forced to do this towards a Tails from a certain universe he had liked observing... and... in his grief and trauma... he had corrupted their body with VOID... and revived the fox as the first ever EXECUTED, a mortal turned Executor... and... with this... a shock came into the executor race... they could fight back... what if they could turn all of the mortals in a world into demons... and then have them swarm the highests to stop the madness once and for all? A uproar would spark the seeds for the war.

## The First EXE War

### The First Rebellion

A few months after the discovery, all was normal, until suddenly in a world that was being targeted by the highests, a huge amount of dark energy had began to converge there, as mortals were turned into demons rapidly, many dying as they got turned... creating a massacre mess that began to traumatize and corrupt the normally peaceful Executors... as a sort of sadism began to spread in their ranks. The name demon began to come around to be associated with them, as their ways to make more, began to lose whatever possibility of kindness they had, as more and more, the less aggressive executors being slaughtered and tossed into the erasure over time... as the war would start to happen. All-Father and the other highests would attempt to begin to try to stop this, by erasing worlds immediately, but it was useless, an army would begin to be grown, millions of millions strong... as a fear would begin to take over with the highests that they would be defeated...

### A Reckless Attack

The war seemed to be going well for the executors, but they were getting restless, wanting things to go back to normal... so they began to rush in too fast, and led to an attack that would be head at the multiversal nexus gate inside Mobius Delta X. As the army grew and approached closer and closer, the newest member of the group, a hot-shot named Stitch-Lite would come down to f ace the army, wings out, as she glared at the army, lead by a now much more unemotive Sark, the two watched each other with burning anger. The resulting battle was a massacre. Stitch-Lite had been the victor though she had held a clear disadvantage in numbers, mainly due to military knowledge... and as such... she was able to almost capture their general, and erase a majority of their entire army, ending the formal war as from that.

### The Rebellions After

While, the main war ended with that shocking single battle, the rebellion was clear, and now a rift was clearly devised by the two species, with mortals in the middle. Highests began to corrupt mortals themselves, as they began to grow specular cities teaching the All-Father's teachings to new Highests, as Exetior would fall in love with Stitch-Lite, all meanwhile something had been stirring inside Exetior's morals. However, the executors continued to try to stop the erasure of worlds... increasingly failing as more and more of their numbers died, and it became clear who was winning.

### Exetior's Rebellion

A few decades would pass, before Exetior had decided to began to stage a rebellion. He had finally grow tired of the useless erasure and saw no point towards it. He had been trying for years, to try disuade the constant erasure, but was derived and mocked for it, being seen as weak, and pathetic for his heart. He finally had enough of this, and began to take action. Disguising himself as a Executor, he would begin to commune with the demons leading the rebellion... beginning to coordinate attacks and strikes that led to some intense victories that shocked the highests, and slowly paranoia would begin to creep in... that they had a mole. All while this was happening, in one of the castles, a massacre happened where in which, a young Highest known as Exeller would become corrupted by some unseen voice, slaughtering his entire family, besides his sister, before fleeing in his madness, that voice being a familiar one to the All-Father and Haloh.

It would take years before Exetior was discovered... but when he was... it was by Stitch-Lite... who lead an arrest that turned into a large-all-out battle where every demon was fighting... many of the higher level highests were killed in the battle... but it was clear that the Highests would win... and they did... capturing the elusive Sark FINALLY... Stitch would set off to torture him... blaming HIM for the corruption of her beloved, as she was able to convince the All-Father to just trap Exetior inside the Master Emerald inside Mobius Prime. This would happen... and the war would officially end after this. Rebellions became fewer and fewer, and the erasures began to form a syncopated structure, to compensate for the increase of multiversal choices as more universes came of age to have mortals.

## Relative Peace

Throughout the next couple of millenia, the highest had entire control over the multiverse, seeing to it as they saw fit. Erasures were a common place in any timeline that seemed to be imperfect, and as such... the scattered groups of Executors, who had now really become demons... had lost their pacifism... and now just seemed to attempt to take over unguarded worlds to corrupt and rule as their own gods. Many took forms of Sonic, but others took various shapes, and different forms... but the ones who were in the rebellion who had escaped, they plotted and schemed in the shadows, trying to find Exetior and Sark, who in his captivity, the latter had learned all about his 'friend' and how he was lied to... and Stitch had changed her view about her ex-boyfriend over the time... and the two would begin to resent the trapped fallen Highest.

In the service of trying to find stragglers... dark spirits such as a Mazin known as Creep were hired to attempt to draw out important demons to be captured and detained, but often never had anything, due to their secret allegiance with the Executors. The peace that had resulted lasted for such a long time... that a certain being began to bore over watching this... and wanted to see more chaos. So he began to set up events that would enact the second, and much larger war between EXEs and Highests!

## The Nightmare Begins

### The Scapegoat

This OTHER, began to whisper in Sark's ear... over the years of his captivity, introducing a desire for him to give up war... and to take over a world of his own, to become a god, and have his own little land of hell. At first, Sark resisted, he wanted to fight for what's right... for the people who were there, for the people who saw him as their hero, but slowly doubt began to form. Questions forming as the years continued, the torture from Stitch-Lite never ceasing, giving him a constant sense of fear and emotional trauma, until the voice offered something to Sark, something that he couldn't refuse: FREEDOM. It was a simple manner a portal, all he had to do was activate it from the blood of a highest. Sark would relucantly wait for Stitch-Lite to return for another round of torture, but when he was about to do it... something just snapped, perhaps it was the way she looked at him, it filled him with a rage beyond what anyone could ever understand, and he tore Stitch-Lite's arm off, the blood activating the portal as he slipped away, the highest terrified at the damage that had been done, and being unable to chase after.

### A Hell Beyond Earth

Sark landed in a distant, but familiar world of Mobius, filled with mobians and mortals abound. Sark was weak, his form was entirely smoke, unable to take a form, so he observed, watching the world, not sure what to do, as the anger and rage continued to fill his head, and built a form of sadism that seemed to permeate his being, and before he knew it, a vessel would show itself, Sonic the Hedgehog, he reminded Sark of himself, but chiller, more carefree, and this seemed to enrage the executor as he would forcibly possess the hedgehog, taking his form for his own, and with a pervasive glee, would begin a massacre. It was different compared to the ones prior, being far far more violent as the hills were smeared with red, the gears being rusted with the thick blood of animals, and the screams filling out, as Sark would begin to twist the world into his image, the sights further bringing him to delusion, all as the OTHER watched with sadistic glee, learning and taking notes from its own creation.

### Meanwhile in the Void

Turns out that the Master Emerald had sent Exetior into the realm known as the Phantom Void, a place made of energies that went beyond what mortals could comprehend, the power and the anguish of the universe filled the area, as the former highest began to become corrupted to it. His body darkened and his anti-matter turned into matter as he converted into an executor as a rage would begin to fill him a rage for the highests, and the rage for all of this destruction that did not need to happen, and over the next five thousand years, he stewed in anger, until with the vibrations of the emeralds, Exetior found himself able to escape, but not to where he expected to.

### Welcome to... Sol?

Exetior found himself in a realm that seemed like Mobius... but something had been different... something weird... and something off about it, and as he learned, he had entered the world of Sol, a place where no demons had touched, until now. Being trapped in the void for so long, Exetior was extremely sensitive to phantom energy, and when he sensed something with immense power, he would go to hunt for it, and to his shock, he found a hedgehog girl. Her name was Aubreigh, a phytokinetic who happened to discover when she was young a gem known as the Soul Sapphire, a gem that granted her spirit the ability to change the world around her... something that seemed to intrerest the demon as he would make himself known, preparing to demonize her and take her to his army, and to his shock, she let him... on the condition that he didn't hurt her companion, a cat named Violet, who Aubreigh had saved from Dr. Eggman Nega, due to Violet being a creation of Nega's made to combat against Princess Blaze. Exetior made a deal, but to Aubreigh's chargin, Violet tried attacking Exetior after he had demonized Aubreigh, misconstruing the situation and proclaiming that he wasn't gonna touch her, and amused, Exetior decided to demonize her as well, before fufilling his promise, and leaving, unaware that his emergence had unleashed a darkness that would infect the realm.

## A New Nightmare

### The Nightmare Emerges

Exetior and his new two servants would emerge in Mobius now, as Exetior planned his methods, returning to his castle in Priceless Freedom and reuniting with Negagen, Pervision and to his concern and shock, Sark. Exetior would then begin his hunt, using the simulations to play to hunt the first trinity, before doing it afterwards, with aid from Pervision with the invention of the demonization rings, and one by one, Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, Amy, Cream and Sally all fell. Before long Exetior had himself the starts of his army, but something had concerned him about Sark... there had been rumors of him mistreating his servants... and with how his Amy had loved being around Exetior's embrace, as if she was happier being there, concern would grow in Exetior.

### Continued Misery

Exetior would go into discover the state of Sark's world, of all the torture and slaughter, and would go to confront Sark about it. He would try to brush it off, trying to excuse it as the normal thing, and even Exetior knew that wasn't true. He tried apologizing for what he had gone through, but that only made Sark mad. He pushed Exetior away as he yelled for him to go away... and reluncantly he did, not knowing that Rosy, Sark's Amy had went to follow him, that following night leading to Sark becoming even more enraged, before going to make a deal with the Highest to take care of Exetior, a betrayal that he felt was justified.

### A Cover-Story Of Tragedy

An ambush would happen shortly after, Stitch Lite trying to destroy Priceless Freedom and take care of Exetior once and for all, being aided by Sark of all people, and while it seemed hopeless, Aubreigh had been able to deal with Stitch Lite by sealing her into a realm of her own memories with help by Negagen, keeping her occupied as Exetior faced Sark, angered at his betrayal, Sark lashed out at Exetior, projecting all the anger and rage at him, and trying to get the last slaughter, but Exetior took the fatal slash at his former friend, and he held Sark's bleeding body as his insanity started to leave him... in pain and in peace... a blood tear falling from his eye as his suffering was finally over. Exetior would decide that it was now or never with his battle with the Highest.

### The War

Gathering all of the demons all around, and promoting Aubreigh to the role of his enforcer after her showing potential during the ambush, and Violet being the co-enforcer due to her insistance, Exetior would lead the charge over to the realm of the Highest, storming the gates and catching the All-Father after a long tense battle with a reluctant Stitch-Lite and an angered Brave Heart, the former running away when the latter fell, before Exetior would take a look at the All-Father at the top of the spire, anger and hatred for all of what had happened, and for all of who were lost, as he would engage in a fight with the highest of the Highest. He was joined by all of his co-workers, working together in tandem, All-Father felt his powers getting slipped away and before he knew it, Exetior had hit the fatal blow, glowing white blood leaking from his glove as he had impaled the Highest, taking out the other party, and gaining the victory of this millennia long conflict. The OTHERs were pleased at this development, the last one faking it at range over what happened.

### The Lost Millennium

Over the next thousand years, Exetior reworked how the executors and Highest interacted, creating a group known as the Unity, a cooperation of all the rulers of all the worlds, working together to rule the multiverse, and trying to keep peace, as disagreements formed with certain demons, Exetior and his enforcers would go and sort them out, but as time went on, Violet grew more violent and harsh with her methods, and in tears, Aubreigh would hold her now-wife as she and Exetior stripped her of her powers and sent her to a maze for a hundred years to atone for her actions... and in her attempt to try to make things better, appointed Infinite, a mortal who had gotten the powers of the Phantom Ruby, her gem's counterpart, to take Violet's place. All while, the OTHER in the shadows, Xstranged, decided that he was going to do this himself, as he hid in a backwater world, and began to experiment. His siblings had created life, but now... could he create a monster to end their life? VOID had so much to see about it... and a world full of experiments... oh lord, he was gonna have... ***F U N . . .***
