CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Oh, good morning, you would not believe the day I've had!
~
Michael and several assistants cast a healing spell
And in time the panic of the village would dispel
Sky and her two friends waited outside the healer’s room
Todd informed Twig’s family about his brush with doom
But in Twig’s mind his questions didn’t cease despite the pain
He wondered if all his efforts would just be in vain
Had he dreamt of all those strange red boxes that he saw
What was all that talk of some outdated system law
Achievement: Frustrating
This cannot be happening, you actually survived?
How could such a happy ending be so soon deprived?
Tell me what just happened or I’ll take more stats away
Wait a minute, what are all those x’s in the way?

Twig felt like he’d laugh if he was not in so much pain
His cruel god was begging him to hurry and explain
“Sorry, bud, I have no news to give a god like you
Now I won’t be hurt by any awful thing you do”
Achievement: Unfathomably Frustrating
This is just impossible, now everything is wrong!
Was there such a troublesome thing right there all along?
This is unlike anything that happened in the past!
How did everything go so terribly wrong so fast?
Twig began recalling what the strange red screens had said
He’d had his who status rearranged while he was dead

Now his guardian can’t do him any more harm
Even if the nature of his screen caused some alarm
Achievement: This Can’t be Happening
How could one be so stubborn that they can’t even die?
Will you always be a burden to your friends and Sky?
Now all I can do is give you achievements all day?
After all my planning, how could things turn out this way?
Twig’s confusion grew as the all the messages went on
What conclusions had his evil guardian just drawn
He tried to call his deity back to explain some more
But suddenly he wasn’t quite as noisy as before
“You still there, you cranky god, or did you run away?”
Twig mocked his guardian but he seemed to have nought to say
‘Oh well’ Twig thought as he began to regain consciousness
Noticing he still was in a world of dizziness
He opened up his one good eye and saw the healer’s face
And in a moment found himself in someone’s warm embrace
“Twig, I’m sorry we left you behind, we’re awful friends”
Sky released her grip doubtful that she could make amends
Sky stepped back and he could see that all his friends were there
His parents and his sisters, even neighbours everywhere
His missing eye began to ache and when he raised his hand
He noticed that it wasn’t there to use as he had planned
He looked down at his legs and was relieved that there were two
And though he was left handed, his right hand would have to do
Depth perception was an issue that made his head ache
But it was a small price to pay for such a huge mistake

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
