Project C.K.T.W. is the final arc of the Terraverse where Sapo and Deimos retravel the world, unconsciously reliving their past memories that they have passed togheter as a duo.

## Prelude

After a long battle, the Supreme Witch Calamitas surrendered to the duo and decided to join their cause, becoming apart of the Terraverse Protection Initiative, It looked like with her not being a problem anymore but rather an asset, they could finally rest and goof around.

### The first of March

It was 2 P.M on a nice spring afternoon, at this time Deimos woke up, a terrible sleep schedule is the last thing he was going to need for fighting otherworldly creatures but he still went to sleep late for whatever reason. After about 5 minutes of staring at the window he decided to get out of bed to get himself a nice late breakfast, a chocolate chip muffin bought from the local baker’s and some cold orange juice freshly squeezed from the somehow growing oranges of the ice biome. He then got dressed and went to the bathroom to wash his face to truly wake himself up. After drying his face with a towel he went to open the front door to go outside, the sunlight was really bright.

The town was very active that day, so he decided to go around and spend time with the others while also getting stuff he needed. He began walking to the towns’ center, from his view you would see markets of all types everywhere: the butcher's, the bar, the pharmacy and more. He decided to make a quick pit stop at the local restaurant to pick something up for later.

Along his small trip to the center he would greet everyone, the smart guide that helped him throughout his journey, the nurse who has healed (most) of his wounds, the goblin tinkerer who fixed all of his gear at a… very expensive price, he didn’t really like that guy anyways, and many other people.

He had finally reached the town center, it was a big open space in the form of a circle with a big fountain at its center. He looked towards the sky and slowly began closing his eyes and almost letting go of his bag, until suddenly…

“DEIMOS!”

Deimos jumped at the sudden loud yelling of his name, he then inspected the place frantically looking for the source of the noise, only to spot Sapo sitting nearby the fountain looking towards him, Deimos went and sat next to him.

“Hi” said Sapo, as if he didn’t just scream Deimos’ name loudly.

“Hi” Deimos responded while laying down, he placed his bag near him

“I got you something”

Deimos reached for something inside his bag, it was a pink container inside a still hot campechana.

“Damn thanks bro”

Sapo began eating the food as if he was in a restaurant, one small piece at a time.

“Don’t you think something’s about to happen? It always does when it's this calm” said Deimos

Sapo nodded while silently chewing his food, they both knew that something bad might, actually WILL happen, they have to be fully sure that there isn’t any trouble around the world.

After finishing the last bite of his food, he cleaned himself with a paper towel and replied

“We should probably check the sulphurous sea first, that place always got something fishy going on… quite literally”

Deimos sighed, he clearly didn’t want to go there, it was full of garbage and the crabs would keep latching onto his cape, but he had to deliver some goods to the other towns, might as well use this opportunity to do so.

They both got up and walked around the fountain to find the giant red arrow painted on the floor pointing west, after reaching it Deimos pointed out the absurdity of only marking the east and west, Sapo didn’t catch on but he just agreed on it anyways.

After a while of following the direction the arrow was pointing they managed to get out of the town and step on the green grass of the forest, nothing really interesting was happening there, just a few harmless slimes jumping around, even if it was a pretty boring place the forest was a beautiful sight.

“Hey, remember when you killed the slime king?” Deimos asked

“Ye, it wasn’t really that difficult, i wonder how you even got defeated by him” Sapo responded

Deimos’ pupils, visible from the mask shrunk, then responded with a simple “Yeah…”

“Do you think there is a new one? Or maybe even a democratically elected slime president?” Deimos asked hastily, not wanting to respond to Sapo.

“I dunno, i haven’t seen any slimes bigger than the regular ones, not like it really matters to us, if he’s threatens peace he will have to suffer the consequences, th-”

Sapo interrupted himself after feeling the sandy terrain below him, the sudden change of the ground’s heat somehow burnt him a little.

Sapo’s face contorted into a slight frown of pain followed by the quick statement:“We are already here, I don’t remember the forest being this small”

“Dude we have been walking for like almost one hour” Deimos replied

“Anyways, i gotta deliver some stuff that i don’t need anymore, i still have some garbage from even before we defeated the Wall of Flesh”

“Wow, that was a long ass time ago, why didn’t you do it before?” Sapo asked

“Well, I didn’t really have time for it, we were always busy” Deimos responded

Just shortly after the conversation they arrived at the desert town, only inhabited by those who can handle the extreme heat. The layout of the town was very similar to the one in the forest, the desert-matching buildings that are about the size of two floors are scattered around the city, a circular area is present in the town’s center except instead of a fountain like in the forest town there was a statue of a woman with long hair and no legs. Deimos and Sapo headed to the arms dealer’s

The arms dealer noticed the familiar faces, he greets them with open arms

“It's been a while you two, what brings you here?”

Deimos grabbed 30 different weapons from his bag and placed them on the counter. The man was quite shocked, but also interested in Deimos’ variety of weapons.

“Nice, how much for all of it?”

Deimos fastly blinked several times in confusion, looked away and then looked back at the gunsmith

“They’re all free dude, I don't need this stuff” Said Deimos as he scratched his hood.

The arms dealer smiled, a restock in beetle hunting season is just what he needed, he would be grateful for this. They all said their goodbyes and the duo left the building and headed west again, their next stop will be at the neighboring ice biome.

As soon as they stepped on the snow the chilly wind hit them both . They were rather unaffected by it but the snowy ground was slowing them down.

“Why don’t we just fly to our destination, this snow is really annoying” Said Deimos as he was looking on the ground, the snow kept getting inside his shoes and sogging up his socks

“Nah, lets walk there, its kinda boring flying around” Sapo said, unphased by the snow and wind

Deimos grunted, “Fine” he said with an annoyed tone.

Deimos then remembered about the huge mountain blocking the way, he really didn’t want to climb it, but then as they got closer to it he noticed the tunnel he dug with the Onyx drill years ago, it was somehow wasn’t covered up by the snow, “Nice.” he thought to himself.

As they both traveled the tunnel, the wind faded away as the warmth of the torches around filled the atmosphere, the snow that managed to creep inside melted into puddles that reflected the roof of the tunnel, silence was all that was present, only the sound of the duo stepping on their own reflections could be heard, Deimos kept thinking to himself, he looked worried, looking down at the road in front of him, Sapo didn’t see that, he just was minding his own business thinking to himself on how he had never seen this tunnel, as they kept stepping on the puddles, Deimos was getting irritated, but then the bright light surprised the both of them, it was the ice town, its cyan and white colors made it stand out from the gray dark sky like a sore thumb. The layout was the same as the other towns, cyan and white buildings scattered around… you get the idea, it was Deimos and Sapo who designed these towns, the people liked it so they kept it the same for everyone. Some of you might call them lazy, others geniuses, it doesn't really matter, as long as everyone is happy.

Anyways, a small part of the village was taken over by the glowing white yellow and pinkish snow corrupted by The Hallow biome, it wasn’t a problem for anyone, it was quite a rather nice touch to the blue and white village, the fast and now friendly unicorns are used as transportation and the flying fairies are a pretty show at night.

Deimos didn’t need to make a pitstop at the ice town, so they continued forwards to the hallow snow mountains, the straight hole comically piercing the mountains was still continuing forwards, this time they were pitch black, Deimos and Sapo were confused, they kept walking around in circles until the tunnel started to brighten up, a fairy nest had spread around the tunnels, it was an interesting sight, maybe the fairies came from bees which have adapted to the colorful chaotic good of The Hallow. After leaving the tunnels they had come across The Dungeon, which had been currently turned into a checkpoint between The Hallow and The Astral infection, this checkpoint makes it so only a few people can access the other side of the planet which has been infected with potentially dangerous biomes which are in the process of getting neutralized.

As the duo got to the gate they were immediately granted access by the guards to the other side with no problems, as soon as they stepped foot in the astral biome they turned around to see the gate get closed on them immediately, they were glad that the soldiers were following the correct protocols.

The sky shifted from the usual cyan to a starry and galactic purple, this infection was the closest to getting neutralized, a few strange astral faces were showing up to cause trouble to the duo, they had no trouble dealing with the forces that the astral infection had sent against them. Deimos stopped on his tracks and looked at the purple sky

“This place is so cool, i would love to wake up, leave my house and see the beautiful starry cosmos” Deimos then looked at the ground and repeatedly tapped it with his shoe

“I kind of like this weird material the ground and trees are made, the brightly colored minerals peeking through the stone form a nice pattern on the ground. If this place was completely safe I would live here.” Deimos looked at the glowy rocks one by one, almost as if he was hypnotized by them.

Sapo’s head turned to Deimos

“Don’t worry man, when we will neutralize the infection this place will probably look the same, The Hallow hasn’t changed since the neutralization” Said Sapo

Deimos’ eyes closed ’“That’s reassuring, can’t wait to live here” he said, with a happy tone.

“Where would you like to live?”

“I don't know, probably a nice house in the forest is enough” Sapo replied, sounding as if he was almost questioning his desires

“Well why don’t you do it? It shouldn’t be a problem for you” Deimos asked

No word was uttered for 3 seconds until Sapo smiled and broke the silence

“I forget”

Just from Deimos’ eyes you could tell that it was not the response he was expecting

“Let’s start tomorrow, i’ll remind you if i don’t forget myself”

“Alright, nice” Sapo responded

They continued along the astral road, the minerals were blinking and passing by falling stars were visible from the sky above, however they knew the beautiful sighting was about to end as soon as they found yet another checkpoint, two huge doors were blocking the way to the next area, with the press of the button the two gates had opened, as they went inside they were instructed to wear a mask, Sapo immediately grabbed one from a container nearby and put it on, the clentaminator on the other side of the room activated, spraying a green solution in the room, after the process had ended the gate to the other side had opened and they were allowed to continue on their small journey, as soon as they stepped foot on the purple mud the air became more difficult to breathe, a purple fog was covering the way, they could barely see eachother, they had now entered The Corruption, it was the first infection that had struck the planet and had been a problem for a long time, it would fight back against neutralization attempts because of its aggressive nature to expand, the area had been quarantined so it wouldn’t be able to go further on the Astral infection or the Sulphurous Sea.

The squishy sounds of the corrupted ground were loud to say the least.

“Is the corruption a hivemind or a body?” Asked Sapo

“I mean, we did fight the monster that called himself The Hivemind, it wouldn’t be hard to guess what The Corruption is” responded Deimos

“Crazy how a lot of the” Deimos signed air quotes “corrupted parts of the world” “are evolved from bees”

“Man, these are some weird ass bees then.” Sapo chuckled to himself

As they kept going they would keep getting attacked by soul eaters and world feeders, they didn’t have to do anything since as soon as they got near them they would just explode into a million pieces, funnily enough, The Corruption was the weakest of the bunch, what makes it so strong is the fact that it's just too fastly expanding, get rid of an enemy and thirty more would pop up, it was a mild annoyance and a very dangerous one at that.

Occasional bridges would have to be crossed by the both of them that were covering the huge pits that the corruption had devoured from the ground, since the corruption has no real way of expanding now, maybe it would be to be forced to eat itself and self terminate, we just have to hope that an airborne corruption virus would develop and expand into the other lands.

It was now time, yet another checkpoint was present, they would repeat the same process as before, when instructed to wear the masks, Sapo would grab one from the container and try to put it on, however his mouth was covered by the mask he had before.

“Oops”

The clentaminators activated yet again, the green solution filled the room and then the gate opened, there it was, as they stepped foot on the toxic maroon sand, they would both inspect it, nothing different, they would look at the sky, cyan as usual, they continued on, the dead trees didn’t have anything special, while Deimos was trying to get rid of the crabs latching on his cape, they had arrived at the disgusting green water, the smell would cause a burning sensation in your nose and your mouth, however, nothing was different, the fishes would still eat each other as usual.

“This was a waste of time.” Said Deimos

“Oh well, what can i do about it” Deimos pulled a phone out of his pocket and checked the time

“It’s getting a bit late, you should go to sleep, I’ll see you tomorrow, goodnight”

“Goodnight” Said Sapo

With a click of a button in the cell phone, Deimos had teleported back home, only leaving a few particles behind, Sapo would look at his own distorted reflection in the dark green water, “Maybe I can finally rest” he thought to himself. He grabbed his own cell phone and also disappeared.

### The second of March

It was 7 A.M. on a nice spring morning, at this time Deimos woke up. Yesterday he went to sleep early, it was a good start for a healthier sleep schedule. After about 5 minutes of staring at the window he decided to get out of bed to get himself breakfast, pineapple juice and a chocolate chip muffin. He then got dressed and went to the bathroom to wash his face to truly wake himself up, after drying his face with a towel he went to open the front door to go outside, the sun was rising but he was the only one outside, because he didn’t have anything to do yet, he went to a spot he wanted to revisit for a long time.

The tree was still there, it was bigger than he remembered, the flowers were creating a blue gradient, Deimos was careful to not step on the flowers to make his way to the tree, he then sat on the tree’s shadow, he sat down and crossed his legs and closed his eyes, this place was nostalgic for him, he thought about the past, his adventures and his responsibilities as the one of the protectors of the terraverse, however he thought about something, he remembered about his past, back when he was a completely different person, an egotistical god, one that mocked anyone that even dared get near him, he was hated by everyone, he wanted to forget about his wicked past, he didn’t like that thing being associated with him, he couldn’t stop thinking about it, an old part of Deimos was latching onto his brain, whispering to him constantly about is horrible past, that part wouldnt let go, it was tearing a hole into Deimos’ brain, the old god was having a very strong headache, his eyes shut even tighter, a loud grunt left his mouth, the headache was getting more intense, he opened his eyes, there was blood everywhere, the flowers were absorbing the blood and turned into a dark red color, he couldn’t feel his arms, he looked below him, he saw his severed arms laying on the ground, Deimos was about to faint until a voice called out to him, a young man with black hair called out to him, his black eyes had a purple tint on them, it was almost glowing, as he got closer he kept yelling.

“DEIMOS”

He got closer, the flowers near his shoes would die, leaving a dark yellow trail on where he stepped foot in, the old god’s heart was beating fast

“DEIMOS”

He sat down in front of Deimos and touched Deimos’ shoulder, Deimos couldn’t move. He then began to shake him.

“DEIMOS WAKE UP”

Deimos’ eyes opened fast and he let go of a loud gasp, in front of him was Sapo, he had a worried expression

“Are you ok man? I’ve been searching all around the town for you and you weren’t anywhere, I had a feeling you were here so i came by. What happened?”

Deimos breathe a sigh of relief

“Yeah, I just wanted to visit this place again, I fell asleep and had a bad dream. We should go build the house you wanted” Said Deimos

“Nah dude, it’s ok, we will do it tomorrow, you should go back home and rest, I’m worried about you.” Sapo responded

Deimos got up

“Alright, I'll see you later then”  said Deimos as he began walking home

Sapo looked at Deimos, something was up with him today, he should probably keep an eye on him.

As Deimos was on his way home, he decided to give a little visit to Calamitas, he wanted to have a small talk with her.

After about 10 minutes the man left the building and went back home.

### The third of March

It was 1 A.M. on a nice spring night, at this time Deimos got up, he couldn’t sleep after what had happened yesterday. He went to the kitchen to get himself a nice late dinner, he hadn’t eaten yet, he got himself ten microwaved chicken nuggets and a soda. He then got dressed and went to the bathroom to look at himself in the mirror, just from his eyes you could see that he was tired. He stayed there for 5 minutes and then left, he went to open the front door to go outside, the moonlight was peaceful, not a single soul in sight.

He left the village and went east, the grass was blue, every step the trees would get bigger, the sky wasn’t even visible anymore, the only thing you could see while looking up was the mighty tree crowns, Deimos felt a chill up his spine, his breath looked like a very dense small cloud. The steps echo’d throughout the what looked like the jungle, no one was present, only the sound of the crickets chirping, said chirping evolved into a ringing, he put his palm on his forehead, he wasn’t feeling very well, he was getting tired from walking, he couldn’t even hold his posture upright, it looked like his lack of sleep came to bite him in the ass, he layed down and ate the small sugar bag that he conveniently carried with him, after about 2 minutes he got up again and reached the building he was looking for, a wooden house made out of burnt logs that somehow didn’t collapse into ashes, before he even got to knock on the door opened by itself, at the end of the hallway was the one and only supreme witch, they didn’t exchange any words, Deimos simply handed her an object he deemed vital for him, the Normality Relocator that would let him go wherever he wanted just at the thought of it, Calamitas knew the power of this item, she always wanted to get her hands on one and now got the chance to experiment on it, she will make it her best creation to this world, after a single nod from both the process began.

The room filled up with a dark fog that blinded Deimos.

“I know where you want to go, don’t worry about anything, you will be satisfied with the results” Said Calamitas in an echoey voice.

The fog slowly dissipated and at the center of the room you would see two orbs slowly spinning around the Normality Relocator, the orbs slowly got faster and faster, so fast in fact that it pretty much looked like it was a singular ring surrounding the item, this ring with a fast movement merged with the small star, a beam of dark light shot from the sky crushed the roof and surrounded the Relocator, it was completely silent but if you were in the room, you would have felt like a very strong wind was trying to drag you away, after about ten seconds the beam disappeared, what was previously the Normality Relocator was something not so different, It looked the same except with a more numerous amounts of “spikes” around it, Deimos didn’t really care, its aesthetic was the least of his problems, he slowly approached it until suddenly the door opened with a loud bang, almost breaking the wall holding it, it was Sapo, he knew something was up, he woke up exactly as to when the beam happened.

“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?” Sapo yelled at Deimos, he was visibly shaking from anger

The man stayed silent, Calamitas just enjoyed the show and she was even smiling.

“THE ONE TIME WE GET TO REST AND YOU TRY TO PULL THIS SHIT? ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME?”

“I have my reasons” said Deimos in a calm voice

“WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE?” Yelled Sapo, clenching his fists.

“Revenge”

“...”

“...”

“...”

Deimos broke the silence and said “I have unfinished business to deal with, this is why I am doing this, and it is also why I didn’t tell you, not only so I would have another shot with a one on one fight but because I didn’t want to put you in any danger, I didn’t want to put anyone in danger, I would be the only one that gets hurt”

Sapo let out an long exhale to release the steam and calmed down

“I understand, but I’m coming with you”

Deimos faced Calamitas, she was just eating popcorn while watching everything happen

“Oh you’re done?” Said Calamitas with a smile.

“Can we proceed?” Said Deimos

Calamitas nodded, she didn’t want to get involved into this revenge business so she left the building, it was only the two of them, they had entered this world together and now they will leave the same way, after the both of them checking if they had everything they needed, they both approached the Relocator

“Three” said both quietly

“Two” Deimos’ hand was shaking, deep down he knew he wasn’t ready.

“One” Sapo’s neutral expression turned into a smile, he knew together they were unstoppable.

“Zero”

They touched the star at the same time, the room turned into a very bright pink, the furniture around disappeared, Deimos stopped making contact with the star and backed down out of fear, he looked around, he was the only one.

“No… NO… SHIT” He said to himself, he had fucked something up and this was his punishment for it, he dragged Sapo along with him as well, immense pain reached Deimos’ chest, he just couldn’t think he would do something so horrible yet again.

He opened his eyes and saw stars all around him, it looked like the stars went behind him, he now understood what was going on. They were just traveling, Sapo was probably going the same way as him.

“HA, NOT TODAY!” He yelled while looking on top of him, he calmed himself down and prepared himself, this was the start of something entirely new and boy was he excited for it.
