I’m back with my Hellaverse crossover!! Starting of with angel Jim and Toby.
So carrying on from the law established by the first post, this is before the events of Jim being sent to hell and loosing his memory’s. I kept thinking hard about what the inciting incident would be for these two to separate, and much like in the original show, it’s not really a choice.
The previous holder of “The sigil” kanjigar, was slain during a mission on earth. Following his demise the sigil was lost. In truth however, in its weekend state it finds its way to a worthy soul and tethers itself there. Until the day it returns to heaven with a new champion, and its mission restored.
Jim in this universe, dies saving people from a fire that had come ablaze in a movie theatre one evening out with Toby. When the fire became apparent, naturally Jim risked his life managing to get everyone out, including Toby … but loosing his own life in the process.
That act of bravery earns him his flaming blue wings, a symbol of his corrage and sacrifice. When Jim reaches heaven he mornes the loss his death must impact on his family, especially his mother. When he promised he would never leave her.
But Emily helps him to get settled and overtime come to peice with his afterlife. Finding a new roll in heavens society helping others. Quietly awaiting the day he can see his family again.
It’s only a few years later that Toby arives to join him, the fire having had lasting consequences. Toby takes on the form of an orange cat due to his playful nature and overall love for the felines. There reunion is so wholesome.
But months later a threat is made on heaven from an unknown force. A force that had crawled its way from earth and attempted diging its roots into other realms.
With the sigils strenth restored, it reveals itself, and an instinct unknown to Jim kicks in, taking down the evil that had wondered passed the pearly gates with a brilliant silver sword.
The Arc angel Merlin only then presents himself amoungst a green flame to his new champion. Proving to the council of angels that doubted him that his weapon still remained true even after all these years.
But the roots were only the start, to truly uproot this threat it must be tracked down to the source. kanjigar failed to find it on earth and so a new champion must depart this realm to search for it in another… hell.
Merlin informs the boy of this duty, but the sacrifice it will cost on his afterlife, and even the life before. For to hold the sigils true potential, one must be reborn.
Jim thinks of his mother and the afterlife he wants to give her. And what this evil would do for Toby, or rather any soul seeking peice, and reluctantly accepts.
You know the rest from there.
Unfortunately Toby is unable to Join Jim in this adventure, but they made a promise to each other this would not be the last time they see one another. Because some friendships find there way to transcend even time and space. They will meet again. Toby was sure of it.
But after his friend was gone, Toby still held a regret, of one thing he never got to tell Jim.
So Toby waits, but not alone, he’s got Nanna, oh and more cats!
