Pearls POV
“Guys be careful on this mission there are people inside the building.” I said we were going in to a night time ball knowing that there was a bomb ready to explode anytime in there
“Got it Pearl.” Tango said. Huh that's weird he didn't call me perlio. Oh well he's probably just tired it is late at night.
We successfully made it into the back rooms of the ballroom to the place where the bomb had been left to sit with a countdown.
“OK Pearl what do we do now?” Etho asked me
“Tango, can you make sure that the door is safely secured? I'm going to pick it up to bring it back out.” I heard the shuffling of feet and thought that Tango had just gone to secure the door without question, which is not like him. Oh well I picked the bomb up safely and turned around to where Tango was mumbling to himself with one of his hands to his ear, sideying etho as to say ‘shh don't say a word’. What was going on with these guys tonight? We walked back to the main area near the door before Tango stopped walking and looked over at someone before looking back at Etho who gave him a nod.
“Guys, what are you doing where nearly out of here?” I asked Tango didn’t respond. He just pulled out a remote with a blue button on it and pressed it. The bomb started to heat up in my hands and i locked eyes with Etho
“The Hero Commision has decided that you're no longer needed and because of that you need to be killed” Etho answered blatantly like we were talking about what dinner was going to be
“What?” my answer was fragile as I looked back and forth at them.
“I think Etho already answered that.” Tango said. I heard no remorse in his voice, one of my oldest friends just letting people kill me off and not feeling guilty? What was this? I looked straight ahead to see Grian standing there. He locked eyes on me then Etho and Tango. I silently asked him to stay there for just a little longer. He either didn’t listen or didnt understand me because he started to walk over as Etho and Tango started to get ready to leave when he noticed the bomb in my hands steaming from the heat. I didn’t feel that though. He started to run over to me and Etho noticed him.
“Trying to call over your brother stupid mistake cant believe the heroes let you stay this long.” he said it loud enough for Grian to hear and some bystanders I actually knew like Gem and Joel who looked over.
“Effo what the fuck are you doing get the bomb out of her hand!?” Joel said coming closer “What is needed, I suggest you stay back.” Tango responded before ziplining up to the roof of the building with Etho. Joel stepped back reluctantly with a hint of murder in his eyes as he held Gem back almost having a silent conversation before she reluctantly stepped back but Grian kept running until he was in front of me
“Pearl, are you ok? Why aren't they getting the bomb off of you?!” Grian was clearly distressed his voice had pitched higher as he talked
“Grian step back ok i'm going to be fine.” I smiled at him as i heard the 10 second beeping start
“No, give me the bomb. NOW.” he said with desperation in his voice but instead of waiting for my answer he snatched the bomb out of my hands and ran to the other side of the room.“Grian WAIT GIVE IT BACK!!!” I yelled at him but Joel had grabbed my hands to stop me from running after him “ LET ME GO I CAN SAVE HIM!” I turned back to Joel with something in his eyes I didn't pick up. He still didn't let me go “IT'S MY JOB PLEASE LET M-” the bomb exploded on the other side of the room taking Grian with it as Gem and Joel had us take cover. Joel let me go the second after the explosion rang out and I ran as fast as I could to get there seeing most of the people had caught on and weren’t in the blast radius but all I had eyes for was the body in the middle of the blast
“Grian come on please wake up please Grian I- i need you please.” my voice broke at the end but all I had eyes for was him. He lifted his hand up a little for me to take before whispering our oath we made as kids after our dog's name before she passed “ Tilly death do us part.” his hand went limp and his voice cracked at the end but I had heard his last words and they hurt like sticks and stones. I broke at that moment. He had sacrificed himself for something that was meant for me to endure.
I dropped his hand with a minute of silence before I screamed the most agonizing painful scream i could muster as Gem walked over to me with Joel trailing behind her
“Pearl, can you speak?” Gem had asked a simple question but even if I tried I don't think I could have given her an answer instead I cried into her shoulder
We sat there for 5 minutes before I spoke
“Can we go home?”
“Of Course Pearl.”
I think Gem picked me up but I can't remember that well. I was too distraught. My only sibling died because of THEM. the ‘heros’. The people who picked and chose I couldn't believe that 10 minutes ago I was part of them.
When Gem stopped moving I didnt even comprehend where I was just walked in the door said hi to Cub and wait
“CUB!?”
“Hello Pearl, I heard what happened. I'm sorry for your loss. We can hold a small funeral in the backyard if you want.”
“You would do that for me?”
“If you want to.” Joel said behind her.
“ I-I would love that but where are we?” I asked and looked around properly at the world since Grians…it wasn’t mine nor Gems house and it definitely wasn't Joels.
“Well, Pearl, you're in fighter base.” Gem responded posing like the villain. whirlpool. Commonly known for using tridents in combat.
“I what why did you bring me to the fighter villain's base?”
“To ask if you wanted to join, I guess. I mean you do want justice right against the villains that tried to kill you, took your friends away and killed your brother. Right?”
“More than anything but.. Wait Gem posed like whirlpool before, and,’ I looked over at Cub to see a burn mark on his upper arm the exact same place that firecracker got when he missed a shot at etho 1 week ago ‘, Cub has a burn mark on his upper arm,’ Joel was giving me the same stupid crazy grin that double bladed gave me 2 days ago after a close call ‘, and Joel is giving me the same crazy smile double bladed has… wait no your not all?”
“Yes we are and like Joel said earlier we want you to join.” Cub said subconsciously rubbing his arm
“But I can't fight. I rely on- relied on tango and etho to keep me safe. I usually like jump down on people. What do I have for you?”
“You have smarts, incredible aim, a reason to hate the heros and your our friend now do you want to join or not?” Gem listed off the reasons
“Do I get to beat up Tango and Etho if I join?”
“They're all yours to mess with.”
3rd person view
Pearl sat beside a pair of gravestones placed next to each other on a hill overlooking the ocean they both respectively read ‘Tilly death did us part but were not dead till you forget me’ she had picked it out herself thinking if Grian were here he would be laughing his but off knowing how stubborn Pearl was and her gravestone matched that. She had just made her first debut on the news after whacking Etho and Tango in a fight without them knowing who she was and decided to have a peaceful afternoon until a hero came around the corner and stared at her.
“Can I have a peaceful afternoon?” Pearl asked looking up to realise it was the new hero they recruited after Pearl had been ‘killed’ along with her brother
“Not when you're sitting at Their gravestones.” she recognised that voice. Scar.
“I would say I have as much right to be here as you do.”
“Not when you and your team planted that bomb that killed them.” ah they had resorted to lying.
“Well what are you going to do about it?”
“I’ll fight you.”
“A 1v1 against me when I'm unarmed seems unfair.”
“You know how to fight without it.”
“Do i.”
“Yes.”
“You're incorrect there.”
“Don't make me call the other heroes just get away from their graves.”
“Fine hotguy but you might want to get used to me because next time i'm not moving away as soon.”
“We’ll see about that round whacker.”
Pearl started to walk away before turning back her cape blowing in the wind almost blowing off her hood. “You know scar one of those gravestones are fake and they're still alive, you just have to find the clues.” Pearl smiled even if he couldn't see it. His face had contorted when she said his real name and his eyes lit up when she said that one of the siblings was alive.
“Wait what's the first clue?”
“Play back all of your recordings with them in it and listen next time you're in a fight with the fighters.”
Pearl walked away not looking back but feeling a cold hand grab hers and in the corner of her eye saw a waffle head smile at her.

hi so sorry for the late post my dog got sick with what the vets presume is cancer so me posting this is actually my first quiet moment/rest moment so i hope you enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pearls POV
I have been with the Fighters for just over a week now and I'm having more fun with them than I ever did with Tango or Etho or anyone at Hero Corps - which is not a good name get more creative guys. I have been visiting mine and Grians grave just to feel like i'm close to him again and sometimes it feel like he's there Scar hasn’t shown up since I saw him there and i'm somewhat grateful for that though I definitely do miss him. Today is the first mission since my debut and we're going to a corrupt bank to steal the money and give it to poorer families in the west of hermitville. See when I was with the Hero Corps when we intervened the Fighters it was always they stole from some random bank and we had to get the money back and give it back to the bank. I wonder if Scar knows that the banks they save the money for are corrupt? Or if Xisuma - the leader - knows that the banks we steal from are corrupt. He probably does. Oh well, their loss.
“Pearl you ready to go, we need to leave in 2 minutes so we can get there when our open is there!”Gem called out from wherever she is
“I'm coming!” I yell back grabbing my mace from its stand.
“Ok Joel I need you to knock out the guards and Cub use your fireworks to create a distraction on the other side.” Gem instructed with confidence.
“Ai ai captain.” Cub said, stringing his crossbow up with his fireworks.
Joel just nodded silently.
“What do you need me to do?” I asked hopeful that just maybe I could whack someone again. What can't fault me for liking it.
“I need you to whack the guard when we make it inside.” Gem replied.
“Yes!” I whispered under my breath in a small triumphant voice as Gem smirked at me.
The mission had gone mostly to plan except for the fact that Joel missed one person and he called in backup A.K.A the Hero Corps.
“Well well well Look who's here.” I heard Tangos voice behind me
“Oh look who finally showed up.” I retorted “You couldn't keep me away if you wanted.” Tango said back
“Are you flirting with me?” I asked
“As if.”
“You sound like you are.”
“Shut up.”
“Aww catching feelings for the enemy already?”
Tango whipped out his nunchucks like that would do anything against a mace wielding girl with rock solid skin.
Joel's POV
Gem was stuck in a fight with Smile Face, Firecracker was either Flirting or annoying Pearl before a fight commenced, Cub was in a fist fight with Red Master and I was in a fight with Necrodancer. Who was going easy on me? What in the blummin hell was this!? Usually she would be kicking my ass by now. Especially since it was a 1v1.
“You're going easy on me. What gives?” I asked her. She gave me a look. I don't know what look but a look.
“What gives is that I'm being forced to fight to save a bank that scammed my friend and his boyfriend out of their own money.” Necrodancer replied with distance on her face.
“Then why are you still in the hero corps?” It was a simple question but Necrodancer met my face with a serious expression.
“Because the only way to get out of the hero corps is to die. Just like Pearl and Grian did.”
“Wait, Grian was a part of the hero corps?” more question I don't think necrodancer was liking
“Yeah he was one of the more less known heroes usually doing work at night.” by now we were fake fighting throwing weak punches at each other and trying not to hit the other
“What was his name?” at this question Necrodancer gave a fond laugh like you might when recalling something you did as a kid with your friends
“It was phoenix he was one of the only people besides me and Pearl to get to choose our hero names and where we worked. He thought it was so funny since he was really tan and a parrot hybrid.”
I laughed at this getting the joke that he made with his hero name knowing it was quite like him.
“Sounds like something he would say.”
“You knew him?” This time it was Necrodancer asking the questions.
“Yeah me, him and another friend made a group together in the bigger group of friends we were a part of. Me and him even got the other friends to start dating his crush in a really stupid way.” The memories had come back now of me and Grian suggesting to play spin the bottle at a sleepover with Jimmy, Scott, Martyn and Ren except we had rigged the way we sat so the bottle would land on Scott and Jimmy.
“Sounds like you were good friends.”
“Yeah yeah we were.” I had started tearing up now remembering that there were only two ‘bad boys’ left.
“Hey are you ok it looks like you're crying?” Necrodancer had asked wiping away the tears forming in my eyes with a fake punch
“Yeah I'm all good.”
“You know for a ‘villain’ you're a pretty ok guy.” Necrodancer complimented me as i gave a little laugh
“You too Necrodancer.” As I said this an idea popped into my head.
“Hey Necrodancer so you really want to be a part of the Hero corps anymore?”
“No I don't, their original ways have been long gone now and the place is slowly corrupting the people they recruit or recruited like Pearl's old team mates or our leader.” Necrodancer said back clear as day disgust on her face
“Then why don’t I help you get out of there.”
“Huh how.”
“Well small little thing you should know is that while the hero corps are great at staging deaths so are we and if you say death is the only way out of your corrupt system then why not.” I explained to her plainly
“How I think it would be a bit hard to stage my death right now without anyone else on your team knowing.”
“Not really here watch,” I yelled out as if we had just been bad mouthing each other while we were fighting.”,IF YOU'RE SO SMART NECRODNACER THEN WHY HASN'T ANYONE KILLED YOU YET?!” The look of confusion on Firecrackers Face after I said that will always be my favorite expression.
“How is that going to let them know that were staging a fake death?”
“Code we’ve used it before the key words in that are anyone killed you yet and of course your name.” I explained grabbing my swords from their hostels I had stowed them in.
“Ok how are we staging my death then?”
“I need us to be closer to an exit or a door you can hide behind but basically i'm going to make all the other hero corp members think i stabbed you in the heart but for this to work i do need you to use your weird powers to coat one of my swords in blood.” While I was explaining we had edged a little closer to the exit door then we were before
“Got it but what do I do after?”
“Well from prior knowledge of fighting you guys they will run away hoping that they don't get killed next and anyons of the heros that either start moving towards the body or freeze get taken back by the others.”
“Smart plan but it's scary how much you know about us.”
Pearls POV
Why are we staging Cleos death? I don't know. Do I care? Hell no. Cleo is one of the people I miss from the hero corps and this probably means that Cleos getting the hell out of the hero corps. Tango's face warped once he heard the code words and it’s the funniest thing I've seen in ages. The ‘death’ is staged perfectly and Tango, Mumbo and Keralis flee as soon as they see the blood on Joel's sword.
We're back at the base with Cleo and she's talking with Gem about their older and younger siblings A.K.A each other. Joel and Cub were moving a few things out of the new room for Cleo since she would probably have to stay here like me now as it was a staged death not a cya later bitches i'm out of here and never coming back.
“Are we doing introductions yet so I can change out of this suit thing?” Cleo asks. She has this look on her face that I grew fond of in my time in the hero corps.
“Sure I know how terrible they make those suits.” I answered, placing down the plate I had in my hand with Anzac biccies. She looked at me with uncertainty when I mentioned the quality of the suits but didn't elaborate on it. Then she looked at the Anzac biscuits and a smile grew on her face
“You know my friend Pearl used to make these all the time even when it wasn't Anzac day or anytime near it. I had never liked them but hers made my mouth water.”
Gem started giggling knowing that I was standing right infront of Cleo.
“Yeah, I always liked them too. I remember her making them for our first date and our Anniversary.”
“Anyways,” I rolled my eyes at Gem giving her a playful side eye. “Why don't you introduce yourself C- Necrodancer.”
“Oh ok well how do i do that as per say?”
“Just tell us your actual name, your family members and anything else you want us to know then we will do the same.” Cub explains turning to Cleo with one of my biscuits in hand.
“Oh ok well my name is Cleo Tay and I have a Sister named Gem and two dead In laws Grian and Pearl and a few living inlaws to many to say Pearl had a lot of siblings and they all got married. Also I am one of the few people in the world to be a hybrid and a magic user.” The moment Cleo mention her name Gems face fell and tears brimmed her eyes before she wiped them away
“Ok who wants to go next?” Gem asked clearly not wanting to go yet.
“I’ll go,” Joel said, putting his hand up even though it was not exactly warranted. “,My name is Joel Shadow. I have a wife named Lizzie Shadow and I take pride in getting Jimmy and Scott together.” Cleo looked like a stunned fish which i guess is normal not the reaction i would have guessed her to have but still normal
“I'm Cub Fan and I have a brother named Scar. You can find more about me later.” I didn't think it was possible for cleo to look more stunned but they managed
“My turn now I guess.” Gem is about to introduce herself when I jump in. What classic married life right.
“Hey, why do I have to go last?” Gem just rolled her eyes and continues
“Im Gem Moon-tay, your my sibling and I have a wife named Pearl, a dead brother in law called Grian, and four other brother-in-laws called Jimmy, Joel, Scar and Scott and a sister in law Lizzie”
“W-” Cleo was probably about to say something about why Gem only said one dead moon sibling before i decided to introduce myself
“And the grand finale for last, My names Pearl moon-tay and I have a beautiful wife called Gem, a dead brother named Grian and a definitely alive brother named Jimmy and an alive sister called Lizzie along with 3 brother-in-laws called Joel, Scar and Scott.” Cleo was most definitely flabbergasted and was most likely trying to find a way in her brain to connect the dots on how I was alive and how Grian wasn't
“Wait but the hero corps-”
“Tried to kill me off. They tasked Tango and Etho to kill me with a fake mission to stop a bomb from killing everyone in that ballroom.” I answered blankly.
“OH I'M SO KILLING THEM!”
“NO!”
3rd person view
Pearl was sitting next to her and Grians grave expecting a quiet day like the last few have been while drawing in her sketchbook. Fate had other ideas and decided that today would be a great day to send Scar back here especially after she and the fighters had just staged Cleos death.
“Hello.” Pearl answered blankly hearing someone land close to her
“Are you seriously going to say hi to me after you killed Another person today?” Scar responded with clear anger in his voice which scarred her a bit. Scar never got angry.
“I didn't kill Cleo. she just wanted out of the hero corps so we helped her.”
“Well then where is she now?”
“I don't know she didn't tell us she said that their reasons were ‘just in case one of yous accidentally lets it slip’ that's a direct quote.”
“Fair enough reasoning I guess.”
“Has that clue helped you out at all?” she was quite curious to know actually
“No, not really, I haven't really fought you yet, Let alone really talked at all.”
“You'll figure it out eventually.”
“Will i?”
“Yeah you could read Grian like a book so you most definitely can figure this out. Besides, aren't we talking right now.” Pearl hadn't looked up from her sketch book during the conversation at all, missing the fact that Scar was standing behind her.
“What are you drawing?”
Pearl tensed up moving to book closer to her chest “none of your business.”
“Well from what I saw it looked really cool.”
“You're just saying that to make up for accusing me of murder.”
Scar let out a chuckle before moving to sit beside Pearl “A little maybe but I stand by my point even after you've called me out.” Scar held a little salute that Pearl chuckled at. She looked down at her book before moving to rip out the page. She had intended to leave it there like flowers but decided that since Scar was there she’d let it float in the wind. Scar gave her a quizzical look as she stood up and watched her let go of something halfway down the hill. If you ask him what he saw when the paper came back up to him he'd joke and say you cant see wind. But really he saw an old partner
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay so few things to note about this
1) Yes i know Etho was the next to join the fight club but it didn't fit with the way i started writing this and not that it shows but this AU has been bubbling in my head since Pearl joined
2) I'm usually writing these late at night so this book has really poor quality and i also just cant fucking write for shit
Opal out 👋
