So, I just adore @lollzida s character Domino and.... I couldn't help trying my hand at writing a story! I might continue if I have enough motivation. Let the Prologue begin!
The Misadventures of Domino and Friends
Domino sat pouting as they stared into the distance. Waiting was so boring. Especially when there were so many better things to be doing. Like training. Though, watching others could be useful. Hearing a shout, Domi turned just in time to see their mom block several glowing arrows with his enormous paintbrush.
"Ha! That was too easy, Dream! Come on, I thought you said you weren't gonna hold back this time?"
Black ink swirled in the air to form pointed bones that flung themselves at the bright target.
"I'm not! I just don't want to accidentally hurt you!"
More arrows were fired, all easily dodged or blocked.
"Pfff, with your arrows of 'hugs and happiness'? Yeah, pretty sure I'll be fine."
"Don't you sass me, you little-"
"LANGUAGE!" yelled Blue from beside Domino. "THERE ARE CHILDREN PRESENT!"
Domi huffed, "I'm not that young, come on."
"IT'S STILL UNPLEASANT TO HEAR."
Baka, Domi thought to themselves. Why can't I have a training session right now?
As the fight's intensity picked up however, they found themselves quickly entranced by the quick back and forth of the two fighters. Dream fired glowing arrows in rapid succession, only able to graze his opponent. Ink summoned tiny blasters to intercept more projectiles while more of them rushed forward. Dream shot them down with blinding flashes of light. Ink darted in under the flashbang, only to retreat when Dream's bow morphed into a blade that swung dangerously close to his neck.
"Woah! There we go! See, I knew you could do it~".
"Ink, give me some credit," he deadpanned, "I'm not that rusty. Besides-" the sword turned back into a bow, "-I have more experience anyways."
Preparing to fire again now that Ink wasn't so close, he didn't expect Ink's snarky comeback. Honestly, he felt he should have, knowing him as long as he had.
"So you're calling yourself an old boomer? Wow, didn't know you had it in you."
A single arrow flew off into the distance.
"Pfffff, hahahaha, your face! *wheeze* "
"I thought we agreed to never use that term again!"
"Haha, ha, ha, wha, did we?" Laughter dying down, he skimmed over his scarf, "oh. Huh. Well would you look at that!"
Domino snickered to themselves, every good hero needs to know their opponent's weakness.
Sensing the lull in the battle and Dream's obvious irritation, Blue stepped forward to intervene. "I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH TRAINING FOR TODAY! WE SHOULD SEE IF THERE'S TROUBLE BREWING ANYWHERE."
Domi perked up at that. A patrol? The Stars rarely did those now, ever since the multiverse had quieted down. Maybe they would even let him come wit-
"Already, let's just get Dennis home before we go."
"It's Domino, mom," retorted Domino. They didn't really care too much about the name mix up; not as much as missing out on potential backstory development from the patrol.
"Oh, right. Anyways, let's get you to Cross. He's gonna kill me if I don't."
Before they could protest, there was a puddle of ink on the ground and a stained hand reaching out for theirs.
Grumbling and mentally cursing, Domino grabbed Ink's hand and followed through the portal-puddle.
Reforming at home, Ink called out to Cross before splashing back into the puddle. As Domi's other mom approached, they couldn't help but wonder how they could sneak off and follow the Star Sanses' Patrol.
