Can we get a closer look at the parasites? Do they look like Four or like little gleeble aliens? 🥺
Um both ? Their true physical form is inside of four's skull and it's the little buggy wuggy thing. When they split (sci fi nonsense) they're like four but still a bit off. They have four eyes 🙂↕️ they're a little smaller than the actual four and they have pointy teeth. Their skin is pale blue/green/red/purple respectively because of course it is. Their hair quality is also worse than four's (not that important but I thought it would be fun to mention). The splitting process is very painful for four (not for the colours tho lol rip) and at first leaves him very disoriented as his poor brain has to process 4x the amount of memories. He gets more used to it though and it comes in handy!
Uno reverse! How does the parasite and Four work in your space au and how do the rest of the chain feel about it?

The parasites pretty much work like the colours here! At first they're very much red green blue vio and completely take four's place. They're not suuuper related to him at first but eventually they start to blend in with him, taking his experiences and personality traits for their own and acting as an insight into his personality & inner monologue. Once four's back in the wheel they're waaay more like how they are in canon and are more background noise that stays pretty dormant unless something happens (like they get too close to the hive planet and start feeling the other parasites' presences). Before the parasite latched onto four they all controlled a king gleeok and had power over all their respective elements. They were an outlier as they were multiple buggies fused into one big parasite and Four is one of the only known humans to actually be able to handle multiple different parasites without dying.
Now as for everyone's opinions:
Sky: as four's childhood friend and one of the people closer to him, he absolutely haaaates the parasite (might just refer to them as the colours?), especially how they take parts of him and make them their own. Four has also expressed his anxiety about it to him. Sky would absolutely destroy the entire hive if it didn't have the possibility to kill four.
Warriors: he has the most negative outlook on the parasite, believing that it'll lead to Four becoming a traitor. Which is honestly COMPLETELY FAIR at this point given the colours',,,cough cough,,,negative views to the chain at first. He does Not want to become assimilated but is also really worried for his friend. Has tried an impromptu medical operation to get it de-attached from four's brain and it failed drastically.
Time: sort of gets it since he's got a whole symbiosis thing with the Fierce Deity going on. He wants to respect Four's choices, but on the other hand is extremely uneasy about the whole thing. He loves four but isn't as close with him as sky so he's less emotionally-driven and more worrying about the mission and rest of the team getting disrupted.
Wind: Doesn't reeeally have the maturity to grasp exactly what's going on (and has been pretty sheltered from it). He's kindest to the colours and wants to get along with them, and has a habit of being a little insensitive towards four's situation and getting himself into trouble. Four appreciates his positive outlook but is also sick of people trying to make light of a situation where his brain is being irreversibly damaged and his body is being controlled.
Hyrule: secretly wants to get a good look at the thing. He doesn't think the hive is evil, more morally grey, but is also okay with hurting four if it means getting it out.
Wild: reeeally doesn't like how spidery they are and can relate to four about feeling disconnected to his past self. They can relate to each other well!! His opinion drastically lowers after four's hive planet incident
Twilight: mostly negative but once again he's got the wolf so he can't judge too hard (?). He just wants to look after four and makes sure he doesn't get hurt (sorry twi but I'm gonna hurt him lol)
Legend: VERY anti parasite and doesn't hide it-- except when he's around four. He's snarky at first but once things get ~worse~ they all lose whatever humour they can get from the situation.He's gonna get something palace of the four sword-y later on so take that as you will.
Four's opinion on the parasite gets more positive as he goes on but it's laced with terror given that he has no idea whether or not its his own opinion or the colours'. Yay
For anyone who wants to read how four (and everyone ???) reacts to the parasite i made a little fic about it :))) sadly theres not actually much four there..sobs..
