Eden's Bio-Anomaly part 4

## Eden's Bio-Anomaly Chapter / Part 4

Merus, Himmsworth and Prism, who was still a frog, stood in the courtyard within the Kingdom of Woa. Merus was training on the blast his mother taught him, trying to be perfect at it while Himmsworth cheered on.

Frog!Prism croaked as he watched Merus’s progress grow rapidly. Merus didn’t stop, taking little breaks as he continued to fire blasts at the self repairing dummy.

Prism croaked once more as Merus took a break. Merus grabbed Prism from atop his head as he held him within his arms.

“Hey Himmsworth, is there any ability I could learn that would turn Prism back?” Merus asked as Himmsworth walked over, staring at Prism with his feline intentions.

“You'd have to be stronger than your mother, which I'm afraid you're not. If you're concerned for that boy just ask her to turn him back.” Himmsworth suggested as Merus looked slightly disappointed, standing back up while putting Frog!Prism down. Himmsworth looked at Frog!Prism but didn’t do anything…yet.

“I did, she didn’t want to.” Merus said, firing a blast from his fingers, exploding the human dummy.

Himmsworth jumped onto a fence, staring at Merus as he fired the blast. “Then you already know your answer.” He said as Merus fired one more before sitting back down.

”I know.” Merus said as he looked at frog!Prism. “hey prism, I know you're a frog and everything but what conduit are you?” Merus asked as Prism stared back intensely.

“He's a Forbidden one, Disorder.” Himmsworth said as Merus remembered.

”oh right, forgot. So what can he do?” Merus asked as Prism continued to stare.

“He's a bit of a tricky one lad. You see him and his conduit, aren't all together like yours. It has a mind of its own.” Himmsworth said. Frog!Prism looked at Himmsworth along with Merus who looked back to Prism

“Is that a part of what you told me?” Merus said, concerned as Frog!Prism ribbited and croaked.

“If you and your conduit soul aren't one then it can cause problems for you, severe problems. Causing you to make sacrifices, like not being able to express emotions or being in a constant state of equilibrium.” Himmsworth said as he looked at Prism

“Slightest sign of emotion, may cause something bad.”

“It all makes sense now…sorry for prying Prism.” Merus said

Merus looked somewhat concerned for Prism as Frog!Prism looked down, hopping away.

“Does…he hate me?” Merus asked worriedly. Himmsworth hopped down from the fence, walking over to Merus.

“No, he hates himself. No sense in hating a child. Especially one that's just trying to make sense of the world.” Himmsworth said, sitting beside Merus who sort of curled up.

“Maybe there’s something I can do for him?” Merus said, staring off into the direction Prism hopped away to.

“Maybe, for now, lad. Just worry about what you can do for yourself. Looming over another's mistakes is no way to live. Focus on yourself.” Himmsworth said as Merus sighed, laying down on the ground.

”I suppose, I just wanna do something nice for him and you, although you’ll probably know what it is. You guys have been my close friends, my only friends, even if you may not see it that way” Merus said as Himmsworth smiled, chuckling a bit.

“You're by far the most curious child I've seen for a long time. How can someone so nice be the child of that woman I'll never know.” Himmsworth said.

”Perhaps I’ve just had good influences around me. To be honest these last few days Mutha wasn’t all too bad” Merus said as he looked up to the sky above.

Himmsworth looked down a bit before turning back to Merus. “...What do you think about your mother? Now be honest. I know when you'll lie” Himmsworth asked as Merus paused for a second to gather his thoughts.

”…so far she’s been a kind mother, despite me being made to tear her enemies down. She cares for me and treats me well I suppose. She’s like an Asian mother in a way. That’s the best way I could describe it I guess. I love her too. I mean she is my mom after all.” Merus said as Himmsworth nodded.

“Sounds about right, well you think that's enough training for today?” Himmsworth asked. Merus stood up, stretching as he looked to the dummy.

”just one more sounds good.” Merus said, firing a blast without a sweat. “alright now how about we go find Prism” he said

“Sounds good, follow me.” Himmsworth said as he ran off to Prism, Merus followed closely behind. It would take a while, but eventually they found Prism sitting down looking up at the stars.

“Glad we found you. Come on, I'm sure Edra will change you back now.” Himmsworth said as Frog!Prism looked at Himmsworth and croaked.

“Have some faith, now come on.” Prism then hopped onto Himmsworth's back as they all made their way to the throne room.

Merus glanced at Prism as they made their way to Edra, he couldn’t help but think of what to get him as a surprise but he assured himself he’d find something for both Himmsworth and Prism.

As they walked in they could see Edra's hair messing around with the cosmic essence of the world and she herself was floating in the air as she had a giant hologram of the wicked throne

“Howdy there.” Himmsworth said as Edra suddenly turned around, closing the hologram.

“Oh your back, how was it Merus? Did you watch him?” Edra asked. Himmsworth nodded in response

“Like a hawk.” He said

Merus took Frog!Prism from Himmsworths back and held him up to Edra. ”how could he not? Anyways, hey Mutha, can you please turn Prism back now?” He asked to which Edra raised an eyebrow.

“Now why would I do that? He looks so good like that, besides he finally can stop talking.” Edra said, turning her head from Frog!Prism. Merus looked slightly disappointed.

”Well he does help with my training. So if I had him, Himmsworth and you my training could go a lot faster.” Merus said

“He has a point.” Himmsworth chimed in as Edra sighed and caved in.

“...ok fine” she said as she then turned Prism back to normal.

“Finally, I think I still have one more croak...Croak. ok I'm done.” Prism said, floating out of Merus’s hands and over to Himmsworth, Prism narrowed his eyes at Himmsworth as he floated beside.

“Thank you! Oh! Also, I think I’ve mastered that ability.” Merus said with a smile. Edra looked intrigued.

“Alright show me.” Edra said as she made a dummy next to Merus. Merus looked over to the dummy and without breaking a sweat fired a blast at the dummy, destroying the head. Merus looked proud of himself as Edra clasped her hands.

“Nice, great work. What would you like as a reward for such good work?” Edra asked as Merus looked over to Himmsworth and Prism. He pulled on Edra’s white gown, gesturing her to come down and so she did.

“I wanna get Prism and Himmsworth a surprise gift!” Merus whispered in Edra’s ear as she looked somewhat confused.

“really? Well I guess we can work that out. One problem, no real way to surprise the rat.” Edra said to which Himmsworth perked up.

“Hey! I still have feelings!” Himmsworth exclaimed as Prism stayed silent, unknowing of what was going on.

”he’ll appreciate the gesture at least. But it has to be a surprise!” Merus said

“Ok, what are you thinking about?” Edra asked to which Merus thought of something for Himmsworth.

”a cat toy for Himmsworth. And hmm” he looked to Prism, then to Himmsworth then grabbed Himmsworth.

“Himmsworth what’s something Prism would like?” Merus asked

“Hard to think of a present for that, I mean not really, but you get it.” Himmsworth said

“Maybe you could look through everything to find out what he’d like?” Merus asked

“Oh I already know what it is” Himmsworth replied

”Could you tell Mutha what it is? That way you both can get your gifts!” Merus said as Himmsworth nodded, he whispers into Edra’s ear of what Prism would want.

“What are you up to?” Prism asked to which Merus turned with a smile.

“Nothing!” He said with a slight giggle, waiting for his mother to make the gifts.

“Here.” Edra said, handing two boxes to Merus. He smiled as he brought Himmsworths gift to Himmsworth who opened it to reveal a cat toy.

“Thank you for being a good friend!” Merus smiled as Himmsworth played with the toy slightly.

“I still like my old one better, but this is good too.” He said as Merus went over to Prism, handing him the last gift.

“This is for being a great teacher!” Merus said as Prism opened it to reveal a tesseract.

“Nice” Prism said as he messed around with it.

Merus smiled. “Ooo what’s that!” He said looking at Prism gift.

“It's a four-dimensional analogue of the cube.” Prism said

“Oh my! What are you gonna do with it?” Himmsworth asked, most likely knowing what he’d say anyways.

“Probably just fool around with it” Prism made it into a 12D cube and then 800D and then 1D. “Pretty cool.”

”woah that’s really cool” Merus said in awe.

“Yea, it’s pretty neat.” Prism said as he messed around with the tesseract.

“Neat is a understatement” Himmsworth said

“Well what should we do now? I’m ready for anything!” Merus said as Himmsworth’s ear twitched.

“Why don't you prac-“ prism said as he suddenly got cut off.

“The first son is here” Himmsworth said, looking at the direction of where the first Son of pain is at.

“WHAT?!” Prism shouted in shock. Edra sighed as she turned to leave.

“I'll take care of it.” She said, Merus looked concerned and confused.

”who? Are they related to that other one?” Merus asked to which Prism nodded

“Unfortunately” he said.

“Keep the boy safe.” Edra commanded as she then teleported away.

“Excellent more babysitting.” Prism groaned. “How long though?” He asked to which Merus only shrugged.

“We're gonna be here for a while.” Himmsworth responded, licking his paw and rubbing it against his head. Merus seemed bored as he just sat on the ground.

”Then let’s make the most of it! I’m sure we can find something to do like training! Maybe while Mutha is dealing with the first son I could learn a new move!” Merus said enthusiastically as he smiled, thinking of random moves he thought were cool.

“With the layers of this dimension growing thinner, which means other ethereal forces could start creeping and peeking a look at what Edra is hiding.” Prism said as that when everyone got the uncomfortable feeling they were being watched.

“Oh this is not good.” Himmsworth said as Prism and Merus looked around confused and ready.

“What’s going on?!” Merus said concerned.

“Yea what is it?!” Prism said as Himmsworths eyes widened.

“ITS....IIITTTSS!!” Himmsworth said in a scared tone.

“who?!?”

“SAY SOMETHING!!” Merus and Prism said at the same time

Himmsworth began to laugh and roll around at the twos worries. “Hehehe! You two are too easy.” Himmsworth smirked.

Prism lowered his eyes at Himmsworth as Merus looked slightly mad, crossing his arms.

“That's it, I'm gonna kill him.” Prism said, glaring at Himmsworth.

”hey! That’s not funny! Is anyone even here?!” Merus said frustrated as Himmsworth continued to laugh and roll.

“No. Hehe.” Himmsworth giggled

“Dumbest Cat alive.” Prism said, turning his head away from Himmsworth.

“hehehe... ha aha, no. No ones here.” Himmsworth said, wiping a tear from his eyes.

”Mutha’s gonna turn you into a frog when she gets back” Merus said, looking at Himmsworth.

“Who?” Prism asked.

“You stupid.” Himmsworth said in a snarky remark.

“Who are you calling stupid? Furry rat.” Prism said as he eyed Himmsworth.

”okay enough fighting! Let’s just move past this, Mutha’s probably going to be mad when she finds out” Merus said as something appeared from the Shadows.

“Hope I’m not cutting in.” The being smirked as Prism, Himmsworth and Merus turned to see the forbidden conduit of corruption.

“YOU!” Prism shouted, glaring at corruption menacingly as he moved slightly in front of Merus.

“Oh it’s you again!” Merus said, peeking behind Prism.

“Hey there little brother. Fancy seeing you here with these two.” Corruption said, eyeing Prism and Himmsworth.

“I see your both well already good friends.” Himmsworth said.

“Can't be friends with a monster” prism growled.

“Monster huh?” Corruption repeated.

Merus shook off the ‘friend’ part as he knew fully well they weren’t exactly friends. “What are you doing here?” Merus asked.

“The veil of this dimension fell down some. Thought I'd drop in to see my kin again” corruption answered as Merus looked confused.

“How did that happen?” Merus questioned as Himmsworth looked at Merus.

“The 1st son.” Himmsworth answered as Merus was shocked.

“(Could they know about Merus?...something fishy is going on here.)” prism thought.

”Wait, they’re actually here?! I thought Himmsworth was just playing around!” Merus exclaimed as Corruption chuckled slightly.

“Nope they're very much here.” Corruption said as Prism continued to glare at Corruption.

“Lets try not to draw any attention.” Prism said as Corruption scoffed.

“Says the talking Rainbow” corruption smirked as Prism growled.

“Careful creature, Falklore may not have gutted you, but I'm very much capable of finishing the job.” Prism said in a hateful tone.

“Now ladies let's not fight.” Himmsworth said as Merus agreed. Merus then leaned into Prism’s ear to whisper.

“Hey Prism, when can I start my Bio-conduit training? Is it like a process or something?” Merus said, trying to whisper although corruption heard.

“Oh your training now?” Corruption questioned as Prism looked at Merus, less than pleased.

“Nice work runt, anything else you want to tell him?” Prism said. Merus looked down as he sat back onto the ground staying quiet.

Corruption laughed as he watched.

“Any reason We have your company?” Himmsworth asked, corruption turning to him. Merus stared intently at Corruption who seemed to not mind it.

“Just came to see how you were” Corruption replied in a reassuring manner. Merus’s head perked up as he had remembered something on his first day of life.

”May I ask why you wanted me to come to that…what was it called again?” Merus said as Corruption looked at him.

“Someone has been looking for anomalies, however now that I know who you belong to it's out of the question.” Corruption said as Prism perked up too.

“Why did they want anomalies? I assume it’s something not good.” Merus said.

“Its not, I know what he's talking about!” Prism exclaimed as Corruption chuckled.

They then heard Edra’s footsteps come closer and closer. Corruption smiled as he knew he had to go. “Well I believe it’s time I get going.” He smirked as he disappeared.

“What a surprise.” Prism said as Edra got closer.

“Should we tell Mutha?” Merus asked to which Prism shrugged.

“I don’t care what you do.” He said. Merus nodded and waited for his mother to arrive.

Edra walked back inside where Prism, Himmsworth and Merus were all relaxing. Merus turned to his Mother.

“Mutha, that corruption guy came back.” Merus said as Edra put her hand on her hip, slightly confused.

“He did? Huh. Why?” She asked to which Prism turned his head.

“He had questions for the kid.” Prism replied

“Not good ones either.” Himmsworth chimed in.

"yea, he keeps calling me his brother too" Merus said, slightly disturbed by it. He didn’t really want to believe he was a kin to…that thing.

“Disgusting, you're nothing like that conduit filth. You're no brother to him.” Edra said slightly annoyed that corruption ever dare call Merus that.

“yet he's not Conduit either.” Prism retorted to which Edra narrowed her eyes at Prism.

“Quiet rainbow.” Edra said as Himmsworth stayed quiet, his ear twitching.

"I guess, hey Mutha, is there anything we can do now?" Merus said, clearly bored and looking for something to do. Edra thought about it for a second.

“I don’t know, I need to think. Feel like visiting another place?” She asked to which Merus’s eyes lit up as always

“Again? Remember what happened last time?” Prism said, crossing his arms as he figured it would all go wrong again.

"I mean it doesn't sound too bad, plus we have both of you!" Merus giggled with glee.

“What am I chopped liver?” Himmsworth said as Prism, Edra and Merus looked to him quietly

“That would be my attempt at humor.” Himmsworth continued.

“Oh”

“You're not funny.”

"Well it's okay Himmsworth you can make a joke later! what place did you have in mind?" Merus asked as Edra finally got a good place to go.

“The Edensphere.” Edra said as Prism looked over to her.

“I thought you were banned?” He questioned to which Edra nodded.

“An easy fix, I'll just put out some fireworks and good as new.” Edra said as Merus began to jump around excitedly.

“...Suuuurrreee” Prism said with skepticism.

“This may be a terrible idea.” Himmsworth said, butting into the conversation. Merus looked confused.

“Eden stuff is messy, too many rules and laws.” Prism said.

”well what did Mutha do to get banned?” Merus questioned.

“She got arrested for calling the Queen ugly and challenging her to a competition of beauty.” Himmsworth answered as Edra groaned.

“SHE IS UGLY! Ain't no way that bitch is better looking than me.” Edra exclaimed as she crossed her arms. Just thinking about it annoyed her.

“And yet you're here and she's the Queen of all...even you.” Prism said as Edra looked at him annoyed.

“SHE IS NOT MY QUEEN!” Edra yelled.

“There’s a Queen?” Merus questioned.

“of course there is. There are many queens, but there is only one Queen. If you know what I mean.” Himmsworth said which Merus nodded his head in agreement.

“Ugh this is stupid.” Edra groaned.

“Consider it educational.” Prism responded.

”huh, okay. Anyways I’m ready for an adventure!” Merus said, getting pumped up.

“Alright let's go then.” Edra said as she then teleported everyone...everyone but Prism.

“I hate her so much.” Prism said to himself as he teleported away.
