Kumon's Story (Season 1)

This article may contain bad grammar (Like TheMarcher's lol btw he doesn't care) and swearing.

## Prologue - Hollowed.

A skeleton wakes up in the middle of a meadow, an endless night, a world without color, a world without inhabitants, only him, and he laid there. In what seemed to be an eternal rest. A endless loop of torture and agony replayed and replayed inside of his skull, hollow, just like his now non-existant SOUL. And after a while he awoken, confused and scared he yelped “Hello?, ….Anybody here?!” And continued on and on for what seemed like eternities. It was then he realized that he was the only one there. He sat and thought about what happened as that was really the only thing he could do. The eerily calming wind blew across the flowers that seemed suspended in growth. Then he looks over and sees what looks to be the edge of a cliff. He stumbles on to his feet and walks towards the cliff, the closer he gets the more lively energy comes from it. He looks down upon it and sees what seems to be the town he used to live in. He stares down at the quiet town and it seems to be empty, so he steps a few steps back, and then nervously runs with eyes closed and jumps off the cliff…

## Episode 1 - Little Emotionless Maple Town

As the skeleton falls down the cliff he feels a sense of calm and peace from the fall, and falls into the town he once called home. The town is gray and colorless, just like the rest of the land. As he walks through the town, he notices a figure grieving about the death of a loved one, he tried to feel sorry for them, but he couldn’t, he tried to feel something, at least a glimmer of sympathy, but it was no use. Then he notices that the figure just dissapeared. He walks over to the grave to look for a trace of the citizens but all that remained was a gray rose in front of the grave, and the grave read: “I miss you.” and the name read Akarui Lavender… And once again, the skeleton could not feel sad at all but, he now remembers his name but sadly enough. He couldn’t feel anything, other than the cold pierce his bones. He walked away from the grave and towards the set of houses. As he walks through the town the thing he couldn’t get out of his head was there was no inhabitants. As he kept looking around, the more lifeless the town became, the gray-er the town became, He couldn’t feel anything. The calm wind was the only life-filled thing in the area as it blew his lavender scarf, which was now ragged. As he wandered around the lifeless land, something caught his eye. It was a house. As he gazed upon it, it gave him something, not a feeling, not an object, but… It gave him a memory, it reminded him of what happened before he woke up in the colorless meadow. He knew what he was, he knew why he was there, and he knew what happened that caused it. It gave him a sense of emptiness. He puts his attention back on the house. For a moment he thought he could hear people inside. But he got a hold of himself and knew nobody was there. He turned around and walked away from the house. He walks around the empty town, he sees everything is just the same as it was. But it was colorless and gray, and he was the only one there, as if they all, along with the color went missing. He just stood there, watching. Then after a few minutes got bored of watching. And continued exploring. The meadow seemed endless. As he wandered through the meadow he noticed what seemed to be a pitch-black humanoid figure, at least what could be defined as one. It was glitching, body breaking and bending in directions that can’t really be defined as direction. As Kumon got closer the figure made an inhuman scream and lunged towards him. Kumon made a swift dodge as the figure stared at him in his eye sockets Kumon could see that the figures face was cracked and glitched. It reminded him of the term agony. The figure let out another scream as it scratched at Kumon, Kumon swiftfully dodges the attack thankfully, and notices the humanoid suddenly has barley noticeable pupils and appears to be crying a gray substance which seems to be blood. It screaches once more this time filled with what seems to be anger, Kumon then launches a few dozens of bones at the humanoid. About two-thirds of the bones hit the humanoid and it reacts with a swift claw, Kumon blocks it with his arms. The terrifying power of the creature almost knocked him to his knees, instead he just struggled for balance, during that time the creature took that advantage to bite Kumon, instead, Kumon moves his head away and punches the creature in what looks to be the stomach area. And the creature lets out a blood curling screech, and it lifelessly falls to the ground and fades from what seems to be the fabric of reality. As Kumon stands there, taking a break. He looks over into the horizon. All that stood in front of him was a meadow full of the fear of the unknown. As he stares upon the hollow area. The hollow wind blows upon the monochromatic, lifeless, emotionless land. His mind was set on finding a way back to what he once called home. Without thinking he began walking into the unknown. As he began from what he could see, it seemed as if the meadow was endless. He continued on, the DETERMINATION to find a way out kept him going, he just wanted to see at least a glimpse of his friends, one last time… Only once he begged, he only wanted to see them once. But the meadow did not let him, it kept continuing, more and more graves appeared. The sense of the land went from empty to depressing, almost to the point where even little emotionless Kumon would mistaken it for a feeling, but deep down inside he knew it was not a feeling. Then, he saw what seemed to be a monochromic fluffy shiba inu! Kumon stood above it and gave an empty frown, the dog was starving. He picked up the dog, it seemed to be about 8 weeks old, pretty young. Kumon gained a new goal in mind, which was. To find food for the little doggo. As Kumon ventured on, the sky grew darker, the air colder. He checked his pockets and had some left over cookies made by … He does not remember, but seeing his new floof decaying from hunger, Kumon fed him the cookies. The dog ate the cookies up like no other marshmello. Kumon gave an empty, patient smile, and named the doggo, “Mello”. After devouring the cookies the doggo runs up to Kumon and licks his face, Kumon surprised tries gently pushing the doggo off, but it stayed. So Kumon picked the loaf of bread up and carried him, the doggo panting in happiness. As he traversed deeper into the meadow dubbed by Kumon as “The Land of Despair.” He sees a tree. Curious, Kumon walks up to it, behind the tree is a bright, feminine figure. The figures offers him two things for free. Kumon accepts and the figure gives him an egg, and a strange ball looking contraption, Kumon looks over and the figure is gone, along with the tree. Kumon confused stands where the tree once stood. Literally nothing happened. Kumon turns around and as he continues he sees something… A sign? It looks to be another town, a town he never seen before and continues on towards the sign. As he stands in front of the sign, it turns out to be another town, just like Maple Town but a bit smaller and more worn down. Without thinking he walks into the town…

## Episode 2 - The Nameless Town.

He stands in the town’s entrance. As Kumon looks upon the town he notices what seems to be a restaurant. Relived, Kumon rushed toward the entrance, and walks inside. It’s empty, but Kumon was expecting that. Due to that, Kumon walks casually into the back but is stopped by the sound of a pan drop and a inhuman scream. It sounded just like the scream from the humanoid from earlier, but more feminine. Kumon jumped back and Mello began to growl. Kumon took a deep breath (at least the best a skeleton could.) and walked into the room. Immediately the humanoid began to claw at Kumon, most of the hits actually landed, the reason why is because Kumon sent Mello out and Mello locked it’s jaw onto the humanoid and then Kumon spawned a bone into his hand, he snapped it in half and sent one half into the humanoid’s head, and the other half into it’s chest. It let out a sadistic screech and faded away, Mello fell, but Kumon caught him luckily. Kumon looked around and found food for the dog, and of course, grabbed it and fed the dog. They walked out onto the empty streets of the nameless town, and to Kumon’s horror he saw other glitchy humanoids, a bunch of them, which seemed to be in a gang, and they where in… A gang fight..? At least that is what it looked like to Kumon. Then one of the humanoids point towards Kumon and makes a soul piercing screech. The other humanoids look towards Kumon and without thinking Kumon begins to run as fast as he can. The humanoids start running towards him at a disturbingly fast rate catching up with him fast. As Kumon ran for less than 30 seconds one of the humanoids grab onto his lavender scarf. The humanoid pulls Kumon towards him with incredible speed and strength. Next thing he knew, he was right in front of the two gangs on the ground. Staring up at their cracked, distorted faces as one lets out a stomach tearing laugh. The humanoids begin to stomp on Kumons face, until he uses his teleport ability to move away, unluckily, he only moved about 15 feet, and the humanoids begin to run to towards him. As they reach about a two meters away from him he tries to summon a bone, but instead the world’s monochromic color goes gray and the humanoids stop moving. Kumon sees this and stands up, one second, he punches them all in what could be described as their face. Two seconds, and the world goes back to it’s lighter monochromic color, and the humanoids fly back onto the ground and they seem stunned. Kumon takes that chance, grabs Mello and runs deeper into the town. He looks back, and the humanoids are looking around for him, Kumon then hides next to a building. And then the humanoids just dissapear. Kumon then looks around and notices nobody. He then makes his way to find a way out of this world. As he makes his way he finds the town to be more and more distorted, but he stayed determined, determined to get back to his own world, or at least wake up. Mello grew more and more attached to Kumon as he did. Kumon got more and more dizzy as he continued on as the town distorted and distorted. Then suddenly, more humanoids appear and they start chanting in a strange language that, well doesn’t seem to sound like a language at all. As they begin to surround Kumon. Kumon tries to run backwards, nope, more humanoids stand there, chanting as well. Kumon looks in every possible direction, more humanoids. As he realizes he is a lost cause, the figures begin to, at least attempt, to beat him to death. One swings after another, he dodges, it goes on for a while, after he gets tired. He began to get hit one after another, and there was nothing he could do, at least he thought. He decided to teleport. It worked, kind of, he teleported on top of a humanoid’s head and it attempted to grab him but Kumon squashed his hand, and it let out an ear withering scream. Kumon then begins to jump on humanoid’s heads to escape the ambush, but obviously they try to grab him, and he almost gets pulled down, but he ends up making everything go darker gray, and they stop moving, only for a few moments, but that is enough time for him to escape the ambush. Once the world lightened back up, they began to move again. As he saw this he began to run faster and so did the humanoids, of course they were faster with their inhuman speed and of course grabbed onto him, they began to pile on Kumon as the more got closer, it was hard to tell, but the humanoids were screaming words like “Monster!”, “Bastard!”, “Die!”. They wanted him dead, Kumon teleported out of the pile, the humanoids stood up as fast as they fell, and mindlessly went after him in an endless need for blood. One tried to scratch him, and as he knew it one grabbed onto him, but Mello bit onto its arm and the humanoid instantly let go, and Mello jumped onto Kumon’s shoulder as he ran away, Mello looked back growling at them. The humanoids grew in speed as their bloodlust grew. Kumon grew in speed out of determination to live. Kumon seen what seemed to be a spark of hope to survive, he saw a reason to live, he knew he had to live for Mello, and to find a way out, he knew he had to find everyone that once made him feel something, this was not his world, he knew what his world was, and knew damn well he was not there. Unlike everyone else that he knew, they would’ve given up and given in to the humanoids, Kumon could only think of them as lost causes. He knew if he wanted everything he had back, he would have to fight for it. Not to run from it. Kumon knew he had to fight. He swiftly turned around and saw the raging horde of lost causes, being that have lost their souls to giving in to emptiness and now lost their SOUL and mind. As Kumon saw this, he prepared himself for a long battle, and knew he had to stay determined not to give in. Kumon began to launch bones at the horde, knocking a bunch over, hearing the screams of pain, he knew what he was doing, and knew he may well, lose his vessel and become one of them, but he knew he couldn’t run from his problems, cause all it will do is make it worse, and launched bone and bone, blaster and blaster, and knew he couldn’t stop, so he kept going. The humanoids knew he had a breaking point, but Kumon knew this himself, he still stood there. Knowing he must stand his ground. When the creatures got close he wanted to try and make the world go monochromatic, and stop them from moving. Instead about a dozen bones were launched at them. Kumon knew he had to work with what he knew he could control, and continued to launch bones towards them, and continued to, the humanoids would mindlessly continue on, not knowing their own breaking point. Kumon sped up his attacks and launched them at a greater force, and as he knew more disappeared. Knowing he was freeing them from their eternal, empty prison. To his horror, Kumon began to get tired, he stood there and thought if he should start running, but knew he had to keep fighting. So he kept launching and launching attacks, until… He physically couldn’t launch anymore. He looked up at the horde and there was one left, clearly fatigued, and tired. It limped towards him, it helped prove his point that they don’t stop until they finish what they must do. Kumon launched one last attack, a slightly smaller bone, it was going at an average pace right towards its head. It hits it directly in the head and it disappears. Kumon takes a deep breath of relief. Then looks back at what awaits him. He knew he must continue on, and keep going. No matter how tired he was.

## Episode 3 - Drowning.

As Kumon continued on in fatigue he knew that he was going to end up getting out, at least, he hoped. He looked up at the empty sky and silently pleaded with whoever was above watching him, he pleaded that he gets back to what he once called home. He saw a tree, and sat next to it in slight defeat. He looks over at Mello and all he sees is the happy doggo as it lays down next to him, Kumon lets out an empty laugh and looks up at the colorless tree with colorless leaves. It made him think of how hollow this world is. All the living beings here except him and Mello are these mindless creatures that act zombie-like and have a non-stopping bloodlust. He could only think about what happened to them to turn them that way, was it death? Was it a disease? Or does it just occur if you’re here long enough. When that thought entered Kumon’s head he quickly scooped up Mello into his arms and began to continue on as fast as he could without draining his already low stamina. As he continued on, a forest appeared to block his way, trees blocking every alternate path except for one path. The shades of the forest were darker, and the forest only got dark, darker, yet darker as he went through. The ground was not smooth or grassy, more muddy and sand-like, and it felt as if he was slowly getting pulled into the abyss of the forest. He began to walk through the forest at a faster pace. The forest gave him an eerie sense of calm, and being watched. He watched each side of the forest for enemies and kept an eye on Mello. His body felt it must fall from the burning sense of depression inside of the forest, words popped into his head telling him words to attempt to make him give in. For a moment he began to, and then he began to sink inside of the ground. He quickly regained his will to escape and then he rose back to the top of the ground. Surprised by the fact, Kumon dubbed the forest “The Drowning Forest.” and his will to survive grew even larger. He began to continue on in dread, knowing that if he even starts to give up, he will sink under the ground. He looked up and all that stood above him was dark leaves of the withered trees. Mello fell asleep on his shoulder. Kumon then continued to look forward hoping he would find a way out. He looked at the muddy ground, it felt as if he was walking on a slightly squishy pavement. He continued walking through, scanning his surroundings he couldn’t fend off the feeling of being watched. He looked side to side… Nothing, he looked in front of him… Nothing, then he decides to look behind him… Nothing, except for what seems to be a black mist that just followed. As he continued down the path, he felt slower, he felt tired, but he knew he couldn’t give up now. He had to continue on and get out, he just couldn’t give up. He kept going, he finally saw an opening inside the forest. As he walked out into the opening, he noticed that there was what looked like a bunch of pillars, about a dozen to be exact, which most seem to be broken. As he walked by the first one he hears a menacing voice yell from above “Traveler, you seem to be lost.” Kumon looked up. He saw what looked like one of the humanoids except with a more distinct face, had a maroon scarf at least from what it looked like, and he was holding a guitar. (A pretty badass one too.) Then the figure let out a laugh, and said replying to Kumon’s slightly confused voice. “You will make a perfect opponent.” Kumon then replies calmly, “What do you mean?” The humanoid gave out another laugh then replied in a louder, excited tone “You’ll be the perfect opponent to eradicate.” Before Kumon could reply he says “So let us begin!” and the humanoid swings down on a black vine and lands a kick right on Kumon’s face and sends him flying backwards almost back into the forest. He looks at him standing there and as Kumon struggles to get up, the humanoid sticks out what seems to be its tongue, closes its eyes and plays a single guitar riff and it pierces his mind. Kumon stumbles back onto the ground and the humanoid laughs menacingly and patiently jumps back and Kumon quickly gets back up (after having his guitar riff violate his mind.) and jumps upon one of the pillars. And Mello stays on the ground whimpering after his ears being almost destroyed by the guitar riff. As Kumon stands upon the pillar he finally sees the sky, in it’s cloudless, smoky, crimson glory. Then he stares towards the humanoid with the guitar, then Kumon asks, “What is your name?” The humanoid replies with “Lorx, Why do you ask?” Kumon then says with a pupilless smile, “So I can annailate you, Lorx.” After Kumon says that, Lorx grins devilsihly and says “I will enjoy destroying you.” Kumon puts on a menacing grin. Lorx places his hand on the guitar and right when he plays the guitar riff Kumon places his hands on his non-existant ears, but Mello clearly is in agony, as Kumon sees this, the more determined he becomes. Lorx notices this and laughs Kumon aims his attention towards him and Lorx says “Why care about such a useless mutt?” The way he called Mello a mutt hit different to Kumon. Kumon then replies with “At least I have something that cares about me, at least, I have something to live for, unlike you, you damn bastard.” Lorx screams in disgust and anger as he leaps towards Kumon “YOU DARE DISRESPECT ME!” and slams Kumon in the head with his guitar and attempts to kick him back onto the ground, but fails as Kumon with an empty smile grabs onto his leg and sends a bone right through it. As Lorx lets out a agonized scream he attempts to hit Kumon but misses and falls otop the pillar as Kumon teleported behind him. Kumon angrily and jokingly holding a bone yells “Fore!” and bashes Lorx in the head sending him flying, midair Lorx plays a guitar riff, once Kumon noticed he covered his ears, Mello looked even more pained. Kumon sends a dozen bones towards him and a dozen blue bones, some of the bones hit Lorx and before he can play a guitar riff the blue bones pin him, preventing him from playing the riff. As Kumon walks Leaps towards the pillar Lorx was on he plays a guitar riff, breaking the blue bones, Kumon didn’t notice he was playing the guitar riff and his mind goes wishy washy like before, Lorx takes the chance and swings towards him with a dark vine and kicks Kumon in the stomach area, sending him flying. Kumon lands back onto the ground. Laying there Lorx says in a serious tone “Learn your place, filth.” Kumon looks up at him and laughs. Lorx looks down upon him confused, “What is so funny?!” Kumon then replies, “ M o r o n . “ Then teleports in front of him and dropkicks him off the top pillar and says “You can be overthrown by anybody, filth.” The word filth pissed off Lorx and Kumon laughs and says “What’s wrong Hypocrite? You call me filth, then I call you it back, and you get mad like a little baby bones.” Lorx at this point was enraged and blasts a guitar riff, one after another. Kumon kept his non-existant ears covered, but Mello couldn’t, before Kumon knew it, Mello was dead. Kumon saw the husk of the dog laying there, lifeless, but he couldn’t feel anything.” All Kumon knew was that Lorx MUST die. Lorx, seeing Kumon seeing the dead dog laughs in absolute joy “He’s dead! Your dog is dead! HA HA HA!!!!” Kumon turns around and stares at him blankly, pupils, small, mouth, blank. All Kumon felt was emptiness. Kumon realizes what he has done, he realize how and what he can do, stop time. He blankly stares at Lorx and launches multiple bones at him and before he could deflect them, Kumon then stops time and shoves each one inside of him, “resume time.” He says and time resumes. All Lorx does is make a loud screeching noise as he gets launched into a tree. Lorx jumps back up and prepares to play a guitar riff. Kumon covers his ears. Kumon says “As long as my ears are covered your attack efforts are futile.” Lorx jumps at him and screams “Then how about I destroy you physically!” Kumon dodges his attack and uses two blasters to blast Lorx. Kumon screams at him “If you are more superior, then S H O W  M E . “ After Kumon says that Lorx curls up into a ball and a dark gut rolling laugh comes from the ball. The ball breaks open and large, four armed being makes a horrifying scream, the pillars go flying the beast says in confident horror, “I am no longer Lorx, for that name seems a bit worn out by now, I will forevermore be known as The Lavender Demon” As The Lavender Demonstares down upon Kumon as Kumon jumps up at him and sends a bone right into where his heart would be located. The Lavender Demon falls to the ground and fades away. After the sorrowful fight, all that remained was his guitar. Kumon walks over to it and stomps on it, over and over again, breaking it. Kumon then turns around and looks towards little, empty Mello. He walks over and picks up his lifeless husk up. As Kumon walks out of the forest he sees the same, colorless meadow he has come to know. As he walks around the area, trying to find the perfect spot to bury Mello after his demise. As he wandered on, he finally found a spot, he found a giant tree, it’s colorless, but lavish leaves was the best place for Mello to eternally rest. As Kumon buried Mello, he put a bone beside him and coved it with dirt and said “I’m sorry buddy.” Then he uses a bone to carve a gravestone, it reads, “Mello Lavender, - He was the best boy.” As Kumon stands there for a moment, he walks away. As Kumon continues on his sorrowful journey to escape the colorless realm he could only think about how much pain Mello was in, he could only think about how he died suffering and alone. The thought made Kumon gain a sense of emptiness, he then thought how he couldn’t feel anything after watching Mello die. It was strange to him. He looked up into the cloudless sky, he never knew what the sky looked like after being underground for so long. The sound of the guitar riff faded into Kumon’s mind, as Kumon dropped to the ground due to the ear-burning sound he kneeled. As the sound faded out of his mind he heard the laugh of something, then he heard a loud thud. Kumon looks behind him and to his horror he sees in his monstrous glory, The Lavender Demon arose from the ground. “I believe you broke something of mine, so I believe I must break you.” Kumon did the Lavender technique that has been passed down for centuries, and ran as fast as he could (due to that being the only thing he really could.) Kumon ran as fast as he could but The Lavender Demon only laughed. As he lunged forward and launched a tree that has been ripped from the ground right at him. Kumon couldn’t dodge, Kumon as he knew, was trapped, as the cause for his imminent demise only got closer, he could only watch as his last sight came. The Lavender Demon as he walked towards Kumon, saw Mello’s grave. The Lavender Demon laughed at the what he seen as a pathetic sight, and blasted it, destroying Mello’s body along with it. Kumon could only watch then The Lavender Demonwalked towards Kumon and said “I will not kill you, I will just merely send you into a loop of endless pain and agony.” Kumon then tried to stop time, but alas he was too weak. The Lavender Demon began to create a giant purple-ish red beam, as it flew towards him, all that remained was darkness. As Kumon awakened, he could only see darkness, a void with no color, just darkness. As Kumon looked down upon himself all he seen of him was a white outline, and where all the bones end a white outline remained. As Kumon got used to his new look, he feels a sudden pull, as Kumon looked over he seen a giant portal, he tried to get away, but it was no use. Then, he wakes up in a strange area, constant numbers, and a bunch of code. As Kumon inspected he seen what looked to be a window. As Kumon looked out of it, he couldn’t believe his eyes, he saw Maple Town, but… It was different. There was people he didn’t know, and more houses. As Kumon inspected more he seen his house, and two people seemed to walk out….
