Chapter Text
…
One,One Universe where Everything was silent with the Exception of Ear shattering Comets and loud asteroids passing by nebulas swiftly.
There were planets,more than One,big Habitable Things,Some were alike and some were bizarre to the core,Lots of them could be found in groups circling around A sun.
Suns were really just stars,But bigger and brighter And Even more glamorized despite being just as equal as a star,Planets and Moons would orbit around These Suns in terms of getting light for Nutrition,and the suns,always generously performative,would comply.
Cold moons would seek the endless warm light from The suns,Planets with enough ozone layers Would Drift near it,All the small stars could do was watch as something simply greater than them be worshipped and adored and Circled.
After all,Suns Helped Create life alongside water,Everything in the galaxy had its own Unique way of giving life,Whether it be scarce or plentiful,Malnourished or well fed,Feral or sophisticated,Life sprouted throughout The One Lonely universe.
However it didn’t have to be lonely,There were multiple dimensions and universe out there that could be shared within this One,Some universes were alike with having just a few minor differences like water not being clear or stars looking different,others were bizarre and looked completely inverted.
All were beautiful nonetheless because beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it matters what this universe held within itself to determine whether it was Beautiful or not,It’s inhabitants were very diverse and complex beings that lived for survival and Righteousness.
Yet they died so quickly,And That was even more lonelier for the lonely universe with no one to have as its friend,No one to See,no one to hear,Just One universe.
Two,Two White holes,A white hole could throw out anything existing within it outside into space but anything it hadn’t consumed intentionally could not enter it,it couldn’t take,it could only give back what it had,and it had everything it could ever dream of,Beautiful comets and cosmos,Milky ways and Stars of all sorts,Anything it wanted.
One particular… Day? One day,Two white holes crossed paths and although they could have just both Went past eachother they decided to be extra and Fuse Into eachother which was very loud and very explosive since it just kept flinging out whatever was within the two white holes,The two white holes took an excruciating long time to finish fusing with eachother to the point where plants would sprout,grow,wither... organisms would be born,then live,then die...
then after a century had passed,the two white holes glowed brighter than before which blinded everything within that galaxy,their light was so big and bright and painfully hot to the point that living beings burned to death as the light reached their weak life sources,the white holes just kept shining and shining brightly as if it was testing the limits of how bright it could be before killing everything around it with a mocking tone.
the great blinding went on and on,at that long phase all life began to die out and the population of plants began to lessen,lakes and salty oceans began to dry up instantly,and bugs began to turn on their own for food and survival,it was a very harsh period,it was like hell
everything was so painful,every surface was scorcing hot to the point where the ground began to burn with big hot flames and deadly fire,Yet Life still thrived but at what cost?
Life Evolved.
Plants Turned thicker and Stronger while managing to store more water inside them as well as Having prickly spikes On them to defend themselves against Hungry organisms,Little parasites began to Grow feistier and Tougher to withstand the heat and pressure of the atmosphere,Even as Conditions worsened Life still remained durable enough to live.
Yet the great Blinding never changed,It never got any less Hotter,It just kept increasing its Light for Eons and Eons,Light years began to pass and Planets began to Drift away from orbit,then new planets came in and would evolve Just like the rest,The stars made sure to keep a safe distance from The two blinding white holes,Suns Were pushed aside.
Rain clouds were a rare sight nowadays,Clouds in general were hard to find anymore on any planets,Every side of all the planets orbiting around the two white holes were Hot to the core,Yet the Two white holes never stopped fusing,They just kept going on and on until They would stop which usually meant a long time.
It had already been a long time,Life would be born,Grow,Live,And Die,and then the descendants would do the same,living under shade and protection from the White holes whether it be under a rock or in a cave,sometimes even under the ground,Anything to keep cool when the moon didn’t provide enough protection from The White holes.
The White holes were almost done fusing with eachother,But the way they looked now was very different than what they were before,During the Great Blinding the two white holes have been Gnawing on eachother the entire time which wasn’t exactly unhealthy but Strange,Both White holes had enough nutrients from sucking up the energy of eachother and eating whatever debris they found within the other.
After a decade had passed where The plants were thriving and the organisms were Multiplying,The Two white holes just…
Exploded.
And it was horrific,Everything was engulfed in a massive explosion of Sharp pieces of asteroids and Scorching hot Light,It was so bright and so beautiful yet so deadly as All life screamed in terror for what became of the two white holes that once invaded the Universe With its Infinite Energy of light,It Created a never ending Hell for all life.
Nothing was spared,Planets were blasted in half,Moons disintegrated,Stars and Suns alike Were Shattered all together,And all the constellations were scattered apart from eachother,their bonds being broken and destroyed as they were separated from eachother due to the force of the explosion.
The Explosion was quick and deadly,It’s Force Expanded towards the entire Universe where nothing was spared from its Destructive core,It Killed everything,Everything and All,Not allowing anything to Escape its Existence and Process of Light,The Two white holes had now become One,One… White hole?
No,It wasn’t a White Hole,After the mass Explosion that wiped out literally everything in the universe which left nothing else in The empty universe,For whatever the White holes had created had Exterminated all life within the cosmos and milky ways,All was Dead.
However there was Life in the center of where the two white holes had previously been,Something relatively Big and ferocious,Something that was Alive and sentient,something that had conscious consciousness and A mind to think,Something,Something that had been created out of Destroying everything else,Life that had been born out of death,something new and something awaiting.
Out of the hollow shells of the white holes that collapsed into dust emerged Something,Something with Arms to hug itself,Something with Eyes to look at what its birth had done,Something with a face to smile and frown,Something With Legs to walk and to fall and to trip over,Something That was vastly different from what this universe had ever seen before,Something entirely New and Different.
It Helped itself get up from where it sat down,But it’s pedes haven’t realized that they need to be stable in order for it to stand up so it fell over itself,Having just being born Mere Seconds ago and experiencing its first Injury for the first time The little ‘Something’ Didn’t know what to do,Should it wail out and cry until it felt better or Cry anyway but not make it dramatic?
it chose the Latter And Cried quietly while sitting upright and holding its knee where there was a tiny scratch that was only as big as A moon,It didn’t feel that painful but it still hurt,It felt pain for the first time and it was crying for the first time,Tears Ran down from its face and flooded its vision as those tears went down from its face to its neck and to its chest.
Then after a few minutes or Years The ‘Something’ wiped away its tears with its arms and tried to calm itself down,It felt something prickly On its palm so it held its arms wide open infront of itself,On its palms Things began to form,Abstract structures made out of copper,metal,Barb wire and cables began to form out of its tears,Life began to Grow out of its Pain and sadness And that…
And that was funny! To ‘It’ At least.
It laughed at the absurdity of what had just happened,It’s pain had been transferred into life just like it,Something horrific rebirthed something new,something Else,And that was a good thing! New things made out of old stuff- Reuse recycle!
It giggled and spread its laughter across the entire galaxy but no one was there to hear its joy,Nothing was there to listen to it because it had killed everything There ever was,How sad,Not even the toughest Living beings could survive its birth and creation,And while it wasn’t its fault,It still felt incredibly guilty for what it had caused to the Universe.
It had Killed everything Alive,Not even non sentient beings could survive,Everything was gone and dead,There was no more planets,no more Moons,No more suns and stars,and no more Life For it had Consumed it all with its blinding light and heat,It had caused the extinction of so much and it regretted it deeply,it wished that it had never been born at all so that life could continue thriving and everything could go back to what it once was in all its glory.
It wanted to cry again,it wanted to Scream and sob and reverse everything it had done to this world,It slammed its fists against its own head and Screamed to the stars while tears poured out from its eyes once more and fell to the ground where small little Surfaces began to start anew,It cried and cried nonstop while Shouting and Swearing at the never ending Galaxy for cursing it with such a horrific life even though it’s life had just begun.
Even when words haven’t been created yet,even when Concepts haven’t been considered yet,Even when the concept of existence and expression hasn’t been explored yet,It still experienced emotions,It felt Grief for All the life it had just killed,It felt Isolation Knowing that it was now alone inside the lonely World,It felt Anger Towards the two white holes that created him knowing that it’s birth would be the death of everything.
it Still kept crying,and it’s tears began to form life,Soon those small little droplets quickly grew into planets in a swift second,Moons began to orbit around it and multiple halos twisted and turned around it,Stars Were twinkling as they went further away from it and suns Began to fling themselves out towards the galaxy.
It kept crying and hitting itself and hitting the things it created knowing that it wasn’t enough to recreate what it destroyed-
Wait a damn minute…
It ceased its tantrum upon realizing it could create life without even trying,It could create everything because it was a creator just like how the two white holes created it only this time nothing had to be sacrificed because it could just simply… create.
It looked at the ground it was now on,The ground that was created out of its tears,a strong big and flat surface that had small living organisms living within itself,It had created life! It could Rebuild what had thought to be lost forever could now be reborn! In an instant it quickly drifted straight away to find the remaining dust of orbits and Debris And began to reconstruct What it once was.
It rebuilt Suns and stars,It Remade planets and Clouds,It crafted biomes and terrestrial systems for life to sprout out from,It Drew together many stars and carefully arranged them so that they formed a perfect constellation that looked Beautiful,and while not entirely perfect it was perfect enough for it.
It was ethereal and Pretty and mesmerizing and everything it ever wanted,All it ever wanted could be created,so in terms of Wishes it could have anything it wanted and everything it ever needed,Because it could create life with just the flick of its wrist,However all life it created wasn’t exactly sentient… yet
not because it couldn’t,It just didn’t know if it was prepared to Take care of sentient life and create a home for life like that,Especially regarding what it had done to the previous sentient life before,So maybe it would wait awhile first before creating something with the same amount of consciousness as it,Maybe it would have something equal to it,one day.
And so it just kept Creating,It created Life out nothing and it went well,Planets would thrive,Moons would orbit around those planets,And so It Kept going and never stopped it’s joyful frenzy of Existence and Creation,It had fun while doing so to the point where it didn’t notice how long it had been doing this,Well how could it know? The concept of time hasn’t even been known yet.
It started to experiment with its Creations where it would give itself rings of its own like It gave the planets,It would Command stars to follow it around just for glamour,It made liquid on some planets deadly and made it rain diamonds,It loved the world now that it had gave so much into it,It had Given life to a once dead wasteland of A universe,
And while if wasn’t exactly content with what it had in the moment,it didn’t mind what it had or what it wanted,it was happy and that was all that mattered,That was all fine,all was fine,all was well.
One,One God,one Thing and one creator.
And While it was lonely to be the one with the most sentience in the whole universe,It would create other sentient beings eventually and then it would be content with what it had and what it had created.
And so it did.
…
What felt like Hours or Centuries it Began to grow Bored With what it had,It was laying down on its back while throwing a Planet inside its hands up into the air before catching it back in its Hands,It tried to Occupy itself with something fun to do,Like throw a moon back and forth with a rock or throw an asteroid And wait for it to come back millions of years later.
It was fun for awhile but now it felt very Lonely Since it had no friends,While thinking internally it forgot about the planet it was throwing causing that planet to fall right on top of its face which really hurt since the planet was really hard and Solid,It winced and Groaned from the impact of what the planet did,but it didn’t cry because it was stronger now and that was just a minor injury.
It felt pain once more,It brought its hand up to its fade where it touched its nose which felt very disfigured and broken,It sat up and saw it’s own blood flowing down its nose,It couldn’t even see what color it’s blood was because the second It seeped out- it immediately turned into life,Biomechanical Plants that sprouted Crystal tulips and Sweet Energy Fruit,Biomes of Deserts and Oceans and Jungles,Clouds That were fluffier than anything it had seen.
This pain… One broken nose,It felt weird and while not new- more painful than before but it handled it stronger than it did last time,Just to test some limits for curiosity it Grabbed a piece of a star that was very sharp and then it stared at the glowing yellow light that shined out from its chest,Then it held the sharp shard with both hands with the sharp end pointed against itself.
It swiftly tried to bring the shard straight into its chest only to feel it being halted,it opened its eyes and saw… nothing,But it felt something,something that could be felt but not seen?
It was so confused that it dropped the Sharp shard of Star Piece letting it rattle around on the ground of stars,Then it stared at its hands,There were multiple deep cuts and gashes in its palms which looked pretty nasty,Almost immediately did the blood that went out of those wounds turn into Plants and Biomes which annoyed It because It had already been happening for the past 4 million years.
“Do not” A voice called out to it which startled it,It looked around but saw nothing and no one near it,Just endless silence and space,”Put the piece down” The voice ordered it to do,since it didn’t know whether or not If it could trust the strange voice- it opted to reach for the sharp shard only to feel Something slap its Hand hardly,This time when it’s wrist bled out- The blood did not turn into life,It was still just Blood,Neon Blue Blood.
It didn’t turn into life,It’s blood just came out and flowed through its body which was abnormal and Uncanny to see,It held its wrist in an attempt to cover The wound up but once again It felt something shove its hand aside “That Won’t Work,You Can’t Fix yourself” the Voice criticized It Harshly.
In an instant,It’s Wound was Covered up with a sticky yet strong Liquid that sealed its wound to prevent more blood from flowing out,A Glowing and hard substance that boozed with color and texture with a ticklish feeling.
”You Really Are selfish” The Voice Had Mocked it In a serious tone,It frowned and felt uneasy after that statement because it had never been scolded before and because it didn’t know that what it had been doing was wrong or what it did do wrong,It Felt Wrong even though it didn’t know the full explanation or meaning behind the word or concept,It just knew that it messed up and that It made a mistake.
The Voice Scoffed “Maybe I should give you something to teach you responsibility and make you more selfless,Your Attitude is too negative for this young.unfinished.Universe” the voice ranted which felt like forever,It squirmed and shifted its legs uncomfortably and held its own arms awkwardly,It was feeling anxious at the moment,Then it heard The Voice sigh.
”How will you be able to play ‘God’ like this? You can’t even act rationally- and you haven’t even apologized this whole interaction! What do you have to say for yourself?” The voice Yelled at it crossly,At first it didn’t know what to say so it just tried to open its mouth and say something to ease up the tension between it and the Ominous voice.
”Hkkkkrrrggh… Sssgglsssm,Gggghhhkhh…!” It slurred out before immediately Closing its mouth shut in embarrassment,What…? What did it just say? Why did it say that? Why would it say that,Since The voice had no body to see It didn’t know what expression the voice had on its face.
and then it hit it,It has never talked before and that was why it could not speak at the moment,It had never muttered a fully coherent sentence in its entire existence and It could understand but not repeat,”Hhhrrrgggkk…” it Tried to say something comprehensive but failed once more,It slumped its posture and fought the urge to cry.
The Voice didn’t respond,It just stayed quiet and that made it anxious.
then,three black holes were forcefully shoved against eachother which looked pretty painful,it was just like its own creation cycle except more sped up and this time it was actually able to see the process of creation,but it felt something bad grow deep within its chest,something anxious and afraid of what would happen next in this process,what if it was just like its own creation!? what if the three black holes killed everything around them in order for the creation of new life to be born?! what if there would be another phase where almost everything died?!
that made it scared and it thought about stopping the whole process to prevent any remaining life to be deceased,however the second it reached its hand out it felt something grip its shoulder making sure it stayed in place,"Stop acting like this,it will go smoothly and the result will be fine,unlike you" the voice seethed with a sour tone,it held it there and then to make sure it wouldn't interfere with the process of creating sentient life,it closed its eyes shut and turned its head away because it didn't want to see what would happen.
unfortunately it felt something hold the top of its head and force it to stare at the direction of the three black holes that were still fusing,it looked around with its eyes and felt... confused??? nothing was dying,nothing was being wiped out to extinction,nothing bad was happening to the environment around it,all the planets were well and healthy,the stars and suns were still the same,lakes and oceans and beaches and any forms of liquid stayed the same,calm and unmoving like they always have been,nothing was dying.
and so it felt relieved that the creation of this new sentient life would not harm anything during the process of its creation,it would be birthed out of the three black holes without a hitch or minor setback,everything would be fine,"Everything will be fine" the voice told it while rubbing the top of its head,that sort of reassured it from the tension swelling within itself,it smiled and excitedly waited for the arrival of the new life,and while it was very expectant it knew that the phase could take a long long time,maybe it could take years,decades,centuries,millions of years could have gone by so it prepared itself to wait and to be patient enough so that-
"Oh hey look,your new brother has been born" the voice reminded it,it opened its eyes and saw what looked like... what looked just like it,something with limbs and a body,something with a face and a mind,something that was able to stand up and walk-
and trip over air.
before it could fully faceplant on the ground,it rushed over and tackled it into a tight embrace to ensure that it wouldn't get injured during its first few seconds into its life,it didn't want the newborn to experience what it did so it made sure it would not be harmed,the newly born life looked up at it with curious eyes,it smiled at its new...
"Brreeooffer?" it asked the voice,the voice sighed "Brother.B-R-O-T-H-E-R.Bruh-Thr.brʌðə- how many times am i going to spell it out for you? ugh your so helpless,don't you know i have better things to do you pathetic imbecile?" the voice scowled at it,it frowned and lowered its head in shame into its... younger brother? feeling some sense of determination it snapped its head right back up as its baby brother stared in wonder and curiosity,it cleared its voice "Brr... brot- bbrr... b... brothe- bbrrroo-
Brother" it managed to speak out loud,the voice huffed "Well about time you grew a back bone,now that your newborn brother is here i want you to raise him and yourself as well,make sure he doesn't commit the same mistakes you did,teach him well,i have high expectations for you... Primus"
"Prrr- pppprrrii- prie- primmmm- prriiimmm- Ppprrrriimmus? Primus?"
"Yes,Primus.that is your name- and stop referring to yourself as 'it' because you are a male"
"Male!?!?" it gasped offended despite not knowing what a male was,its little brother giggled and clapped his hands eagerly while being coddled by its hands.
"Welp,he's your responsibility now since you did create him after all"
"...huh?" it gasped in surprise but before it could get any explanation or context its little brother reached out to touch its face,With curiosity and Fondness intent,It Stared at The Child in its arms,His chest glowed just like it only difference was that His chest was a glowing Purple,A bright and shiny purple with small swirls and Patterns,Primus reached its arm to point a finger at His chest causing him to giggle.
It’s baby brother giggled happily and this time his laughter could be heard through the galaxy,It was there to hear its joy and it felt eternally grateful that His creation did not Kill any life,He was life,Life created out of nothing,no suffering and no sacrifices had to be made which seemed really efficient and Resourceful to it,Primus giggled along with it.
”Yyyooouuuu…. Yuuuooollll bbbiieee Fyyiinee” It cooed to him,It didn’t want him to feel the same loneliness It did so it wanted to give him everything,Eternal happiness,Peace and love,Family and hearth,Joy and Fun,It only wanted what was best for him,It Grabbed a nearby Star and crushed it within its hands with enough force to mold it but not enough to destroy it.
Its brother watched in curiosity as he was laid on the floor,Slowly Primus began to shape the star into something completely unfamiliar,the star now had a weird head,two wings instead of hands,Thin sharp legs,And a sharp long mouth,It was also much more smaller now,Not small enough to Fit completely into Its brothers hands but small enough to be held,It handed it to Its baby brother proudly.
Its baby brother immediately grabbed the Shaped star and inspected it up close before giggling and holding it up in the air,And that made Primus happy.
“Ppprrriiii- Mooss?” The Little bundle of joy Croaked,Primus shook it- no…- Primus shook his head to show His baby brother that he didn’t pronounce his name right “Nnyyyuooo,nnn- nno… no,Prie- Pri- Primus,P-R-I-M-U-S,Pprreiiiimuuuss,Priimmuuss,Primus!” He managed to spit out,His brother was learning how to speak much faster than him thanks to is help.
After all he wanted His little baby brother to be the best in every way.
But he also taught him numerous things that he wasn’t taught when he was younger,like how to turn the direction of asteroids and How to connect stars to make constellations,And since Primus himself wasn’t too fluent in speaking yet as well he taught his little brother how to Say his name by signing his hands.
’Light’ His Little brother signed By putting out both of his hands infront of him closed,and then moving both of them outwards and spreading his fingers wide exposing his palm,then he pointed at Primus Before signing it again,Primus Smiled “Wweelll iiie d-“ he paused and rethought his sentence “Well…” he started with a heavy breath “I… do.Ssttffiiinnk- Thhhinnk-,
Well.I.D- Do.Think…” a long pause “Thhat- That.I.Eia- Am.Bright” he sputtered out,”Like,A… Light?”
“Eeyyyeess!” His little brother applauded happily before pointing at himself and signing ‘shadow/dark’ by holding out Two flat hands and putting one infront of the other infront of himself,Primus cocked his head to the side “Yyyuuoorrr nnot- Yyoouurr Not Tthat Darrk comppaarredd- compareedd tto me” he slurred out,His little brother shook his head.
“Ddiiffference” he corrected with a proud smile,Primus sighed and rubbed his head right in between His big horns.
Much contrasting to Primus who had gigantic rings hovering around his body like a hoop would around a planet,It was like a halo or hula hoop,He installed those features himself because he thought they looked cool,The way jagged spikes would appear on surfaces,the texture looked satisfying and pleasant to look at and his little brother really liked it so he installed two big horns on his head because he was the creator of all.
“Bbrriighht” His baby brother giggled while pointing at one of his hoops,Primus immediately took that one off and shrunk it to a smaller size where it could almost be worn as a bracelet for him,he kindly handed it over to his bundle of joy,Immediately his brother began to chew on it which disgusted him but he tried to hide it.
”C… Can I opeyn mie eyeze now?” His little brother asked him,Primus Giggled “No…! Not yet! I told you already,it’s a surprise!” He laughed while pushing his brother through the area,They kept walking and walking through fields of long lush grass that tickled their bare feet,The clouds were gray and it was really windy.
”O… Okay! We’re here!” Primus announced as he pushed His little brother to open his eyes,and so his little brother did and was immediately amazed by what his older brother had made this time,It was a lovely landscape unlike anything before,it felt so mundane but at the same time so nostalgic,There we’re tall hills and grasslands and clouds and lakes and everything.
And they were both here to witness it,”So?” Primus asked his younger brother “What do you think?” He added,His younger brother gasped in wonder as he immediately ran to the lakes to see his own reflections,”It’s so Klear and shyni!” He squealed with a giddy tone,Primus smiled.
“I’m glad you like it,I made it just for us,a place where we can relax or have fun” he said while kneeling on the grass and letting it consume him whole,he hummed softly while letting the wind move his rings and making them chime against eachother,everything was fine,his little brother was happy and so was he.
”Yiu shud rilly maek thibgs liek this Moore,I like landscapes” His Younger brother Proposed,Primus thought about it contently and chuckled “I suppose your right,this field is nice but I could do better,and more,What landscape do you- what landscape would you like?-“
”Water!- Liquid!,Lakes that move! Moving water!” His Younger brother Piped up,Primus thought about it and scratched his chin with a tilted head “Moving water? Like rivers and waterfalls?” He asked,His younger brother who was still splashing in the lake paused playing And stared deadass at his older brother “What the- wh- Wuh… What’s a waterfall?”
”Its like- A Cliff,and then theres a river- a long stream of water eternally flowing,and then The water flows off the cliff which is why it’s called a waterfall,Cuz uhh its water that falls.Yeah” he explained it as hard as he could,Instead his younger brother still looked confused but resumed splashing in the lake with the reeds and Lily pads.
“I’ll see what I can do,Ok?”
“Do you ever think about Our existence?” His younger brother had asked him,Primus shook his head in disagreement “Not to an unhealthy amount,The One Created us and gave us consciousness,Our Creator Gave us life so we can create life too,Soon enough you can help me With Overseeing the Universe one day” he answered proudly.
”But didn’t you create me?” His younger brother corrected spitefully,Primus Frowned “No,I only created black holes and white holes and all the other Objects,The One Was the Force that pushed them together to Birth you-“
”So the three Black holes created me? That’s Cool!- So I have Three Biological birth parents-“
”No!” Primus Growled as he grabbed his younger brother by the shoulder “Those Three black holes were not your creators,The One is our rightful creator-“
”Why are you so insisted on talking about the one in such a positive light? All the one did was arrange holes and then left only to give crappy advice every now and then- the one doesn’t even bother to talk or do anything with us!-“
”Thats because!” Primus interrupted “The One has much better things to do other than spending time with us-“
”So by that Logic- the one is an absent parent?-“ And he was immediately slapped with the same hand that commanded Planets to orbit around suns and for stars to align perfectly,alongside for deserts to have surviving plants and for Oceans to be vast and abundant.
And then the eyes,the same bright yellow eyes that looked at him with wonder now glared at him with disgust “Can you not be so childish for once?” He seethed.
”But I am a child! And so are you!” His younger brother insisted,Primus Scowled “I acted more mature at your age,Whatever,I’m going somewhere else- be back in a bit” he said before vanishing out of the atmosphere and into a pocket Hole within The universe,a place that was small but seemed big,Once he entered the place it was nothing but devoid.
Nothingness,it was just like when he was born,absolutely nothing,So of course Primus snapped his fingers and began to get to work,First he made a sky that would always be sunny but not too hot to make him feel uncomfortable,Then he made the entire infinite ground be flooded with Beautiful and clear blue salty water,he even added Some seashells because it was a sea now,a sea of Water and salt.
Although the sea was very shallow,It was only high enough to reach right above his knees,So he sat down with his legs drawn close to his chest and bent his head forward against his legs,It was peaceful here,like his own haven of sorts,Although he knew That his younger brother would like it more because he did mention that he liked flowing water and while the sea in the Pocket dimension wasn’t quite flowy it also wasn’t entirely still,there were still small waves.
The bare ground felt nice to touch,He held out one finger and dragged it across the sea floor before taking it back out of the water and rubbing another finger against it so he could see the small particles of salt run down his palm,it fell back into the shallow sea where it remained on the sea floor,right back at where it was.
While he did love having company it sure was a heck of a responsibility to look after a child considering he was also a child so they were both learning together,He needed to set some boundaries and have a clear distance between him and his younger brother,he wanted to have some time to himself without having a loud voice and unstoppable energy disturb him.
He didn’t want to hate his younger brother but in these circumstances? He could slaughter him there and now,but The One gave him a task he couldn’t back down from And he didn’t want to disappoint his Creator,he wanted to be great at his work,and he wanted to be appreciated and praised,Primus rocked back and forth in the water sending a few waves towards the rest of the sea.
“Since you are now coming of age,you have a new duty alongside your brother- besides being a burden to him” the one snorted,He grit his teeth and bit his tongue while His older brother seemed To be unaware of his feelings,in fact he looked rather happy that the one thought he was mature enough to have this ‘task’
”Since there can only be One creator,there must be One who kills as well so that there is balance,Your Brother shall create life within his palms and you will end it when it is the right time,Don’t make too much life and don’t kill too many lives,equal it out,
and now that your old enough,you must bear the weight and responsibility of destruction on your shoulders,Primus has a title,The creator,but you,you can’t have a title with no name,so what will you name yourself?”
”I-“
”Ah too bad I already chose a name for you,Unicron,it sounds almost as great as your brothers,now scram and get to work”
And with that the one was gone,Primus turned to his younger brother excitedly who was already the same height as him “Unicron! You finally have a name now! Isn’t it exciting- now we can both be important and vital to the universe.Together!” He squealed while clasping his younger brothers hands in his palms And jumping up and down all giddy.
however Unicrons- I don’t even like that name! Reaction wasn’t as joyous as his older brother who was oblivious to it,Unicron sighed and gently pulled his own hands back “Am I just being weird or did I feel like the one just kept mocking me throughout that monologue?”
”I think your just being weird Unicron” Primus said to him with a straight expression “plus,we can finally work together to Help this young and underdeveloped universe grow into something beautiful and better! We can help species evolve and thrive in their natural environment,we can do so much now! we can do it together Unicron!”
correction.you can Primus He grunted in his eternal dialogue,he didn’t want to get angry at his brother considering how much he had sacrificed for him but he didn’t really… he didn’t really want to destroy,to wreak havoc and death upon his brothers creations just because he was complied to,he didn’t even have a say in it yet the wide smile on his brothers face was something precious to him ever since he was born.
But he thought it was unfair,he wanted to create too,he wanted to make life and see it thrive and grow and die,he wanted to be just like like his brother,his caretaker and the person who had raised him ever since he was small,He wanted to be just as great but not as annoying as him.
”We should celebrate!” Primus said grabbing him by the side of his shoulders “This is an important moment in history- we are making history!-“
”we are history Primus” Unicron smiled “and- yeah! Let’s celebrate! Woo hoo!” He cheered loudly as they both headed to one of Primus’s pocket dimensions that he loved making and altering so much,He had Five in total,One of them was the first one he had made when they were both much younger which he named ‘Grasslands’ because there was so much grass.
Then he made one that was full of zaps and electric which was purely chaotic and the one he regret the most but Unicron really liked that one,He called that one ‘Party’ because it felt festive like one,then there was a dimension that Primus didn’t allow Him to enter because that one was private for him and of course Unicron would respect that,Primus said that it was nothing but just water so he called it ‘Ocean’
There was one that was just dry coarse sand and a few cactuses here and there along with tumble weeds rolling by,it was super boring there and Primus just created it for experimental reasons and purposes so it was named ‘desert’ because it was deserted of exposure and life.
And there was one more that was still in progress and Primus didn’t want to show to him just yet,they celebrated in the Party pocket dimension where everything was bustling with movement and Randomness,Primus even gave him a gift- he gave Unicron one of his hoops and remolded it into a star outline,it looked mesmerizing and Unicron knew he would cherish it forever.
Two,Two respective responsibilities for the universe,Primus would create life and watch it grow and when the time came Unicron would end it,It was an easy cycle,Born,Grow,Wither,Born,Grow,Wither,and so on.
Primus took pride in creating new planets and solar systems,and whenever There was a minor defection that could potentially make the orbital process worse Unicron would make asteroids crash into the problem so that life could thrive healthily,if there was an overpopulated species then Unicron would help balance it,and if there was an endangered species then Primus would help revive it.
What Primus didn’t know was how much Unicron loathed his own work,he hates killing and hates bringing death upon others,he hated creating plagues and diseases that exterminated life,he hated ending lives,he hated everything about his job and would rather do anything else.
He hated- He resented Primus for his duty as well,he resented his older brother for Praising and worshipping the one even though the one didn’t do shit,all the one did was arrange black holes and white holes to create them both before leaving and it irritated him,Primus was the one who raised him his entire life and had always made sure his priority was Unicron first even though Primus was also a child when raising him.
Why couldn’t his older brother understand the reality of their creator? What was so hard to comprehend about it? Did he even acknowledge how shitty the one is or is he just in denial? He hated it,he didn’t hate his brother but he really wanted to but no matter how hard he tried he knew that his brother was the one to soothe him whenever he cried and was the one who spoiled him with so much toys and play dates.
He hated that fact that he couldn’t bring himself to hate his brother,he hated everything about himself and everything in general,they were both young adults now and have been doing the same cycle for decades now which was basically weeks to them,Primus continued his usual routine while Unicron tried to follow along to maintain the pace.
It was painful to bear,to have the responsibility of death and destruction,to kill his older brothers beautiful creations simply because he had to and because it was what the one had told him to do,he didn’t like the one and had never saw the one as his caretaker because that was his older brothers role.
But then again… those were just rules,it’s not like he couldn’t do something other than destruction,it just wasn’t allowed but he could-
“Unicron!” He heard his brother call out his name “I accidentally inbred a plant and I’m worried that it might turn out worse,can you help me kill it please?” His older brother asked from him,Unicron turned to look at his brother deadass who he was now much more taller than.
”You what!?!?” He deadpanned with a horrified expression,Primus looked embarrassed “yeah I didn’t know plants could inbreed too- but please just kill it already! It’s already in so much pain!” Primus begged him while shaking his arm,Unicron sighed “as you wish” he mumbled.
Primus showed him the planet which had a biome,one of those biomes had scratchy patches of grass and small bushes,one of them looked horribly deformed somehow which Unicron didn’t even know could happen “Oh what the hell…” Unicron Gagged as he poked it before immediately zapping it out of existence to end its suffering.
”Plants have genitals????” Unicron asked his older brother with an emotion close to curiosity,Primus huffed “Surprisingly yes- Yknow back in my days!- there wasn’t any of this gender bullcrap! There was just existence and concepts,I didn’t even identify as a male until The One pointed that out!-“
”Oh shit I think I took away too much life” Unicron Realized as he looked back at the patches of grass which were now dead as his hands,his teeth chattered and his eyes darted everywhere anxiously because every little thing his brother created was with intense precision and effort and now he had killed more than he was supposed to.
Primus didn’t seem too bothered by it,instead he just shook his head lightly and pat his younger brother on the shoulder “Eh… I never really liked that biome anyways,nothing to be sad about Unicron” he reassured his younger brother his brother who was shaking and shivering.
”B- But you put so much thought into your creations! It would be cruel to take away the lives of-“
”Unicron please it’s alright,don’t stress yourself out about this,I’ve been doing this everyday for millions of years and that?-“ he pointed at the dead grass patch “That was only a minor accident,it won’t effect much and I know you didn’t mean to do that on purpose so don’t feel guilty about it,Ok? Were both adults now and The One expects a lot from us”
Being taken aback by his older brothers comfort like when they were younger softened his feelings,his spark felt warmer “I… I understand” he mumbled,”Great! Let us resume our duties shall we?” His older brother said enthusiastically,Unicron Nodded.
Even though Primus believed that Unicron would follow their creators orders and do what he was told- but he wasn’t,he would secretly create life behind his older brothers back just to satisfy his thoughts.
he would create everything his brother did,make planets,grow grasslands,throw stars,but they never turned out as beautiful as his brothers because he wasn’t made for creating and it wasn’t fair because Primus didn’t even try and somehow he can make the most gorgeous scenery in the whole wide universe!
So he would keep on trying to recreate what his brother did,He kept trying to make grasslands and flowers and other natural beauty’s but it could never compete with Primus’s creations,he effortlessly made art while Unicron struggled to even come close to it.
He wasn’t proud of it but he was glad that he did create something instead of just following his creators orders,after all the minimum was better than nothing.
Whenever he made something it was never quite right,The Stems weren’t sturdy enough or the Flow wasn’t too smooth,The water was too murky or the grass was too spiky,it wasn’t even good,it was just bad,he really sucked at creating life even when he tried his hardest.
Always the same ending,he would end up with something shitty and he would have to hide it or destroy it before Primus could find out,sometimes he would fling it across the universe and hope that His older brother wouldn’t find it.
after a long day- after a long year of work Unicron laid down on the floor of a gigantic planet and stared at the ceiling before falling asleep.
once he woke up he saw his Older brother’s face looking right down at him,Primus was standing right above his head and leaned down “Tired?” His older brother said in an amused tone,Unicron groaned “So tiring,I don’t get how you can do this all day- it’s so bothersome”
”Well it is my only purpose I might as well force myself to like it”
“It isn’t our only purpose Yknow” Unicron said while sitting up “We were made to do our jobs but we can do a lot more than just that”
”Like what?”
Unicron yanked one of Primus’s rings which made him pout,then Unicron spun between his fingers before placing them on his horns “Like this!” He giggled as the rings kept spinning until they slowly stopped,Primus huffed annoyedly but snickered under his breath “It is pretty funny to do that” he laughed.
”Just make sure to put your priorities straight,alright?” His Brother advised,Unicron nodded begrudgingly “Of course- I thought I was your priority?”
”I can have two priorities” Primus shrugged.
”Yeah but if you had to choose one- Me or Your creations?”
Primus booped his brothers nose “You of course,I could make a hundred creations but I could never recreate you,Theres only one of you and I’ll cherish that fact,Heheh!” Primus giggled,Unicron felt the happiness infect him so he smiled too.
”must be nice having your role,you can create perfect lifelike souls” Unicron said in admiration,Primus shrugged “I’m just doing my job,To be honest I don’t really care much about what I do,I’m just following what The One Has tasked me with,if I had your role I would cherish my duty as well”
”so you just like working?”
”Something like that” Primus grinned.
“I admire your dedication” Unicron added as he stood up,his brother helped him.
”It’s just what I do best,and because I have to be the best at what I do” Primus told his brother with a warm laugh “I’m sure you’ll get used to it soon,you’ll be fine” his older brother reassured him while rubbing his shoulder tenderly,it comforted Unicron in a way but his concern for his rebellious nature lingered inside him.
”I’ll be fine…” he repeated what Primus said quietly before turning away to do something that had been bothering him,Primus looked at his younger brother confusedly as he walked further and further into the distance of space and galaxies.
He sat crisscrossed on the edge of the universe as he began to mold and shape rims and Formations on the planet he stole from his older brother,it was blank enough to be a prototype,at least in his eyes,the planet was practically a blank slate and all he had to do was his best so he tried doing that.
only for it to turn out like absolute dog shit because what the hell did he even create? It was so… heinous,so disgusting and ugly,he tried to make ponds and grass and clouds and plants but it all slurred into one and looked like a messy swamp,he grabbed one of the remaining clouds and tripled its size before covering his entire face with it and screaming as loud as he could.
He threw the gigantic cloud against The failed planet which bounced away into the vastness of space,his eyes shot daggers at it before focusing on the planet,there were sink holes,gaps and chips,and gigantic cracks turning it into a filthy looking canyon,it wasn’t fair! Primus could just snap his fingers and the most breathtaking natural beauty could appear.
Even if it was fate,he wouldn’t accept his destiny,this wasn’t what he was going to be doing for the rest of his immortal existence,he wouldn’t follow along blank orders just because he was supposed to,he wanted to choose what his purpose was,what he wanted to do,and what he liked.
He would fight against purpose for potential and pleasure,a life where he could do what he wanted and what he was best at,but everything had a start And this was it,he just needed to put more effort And thought into his creations,and soon enough they might almost be as good as his brothers.
He needed to be more determined to prove his creator wrong and to show him that purpose does not equal existence,there was so much more to explore and to do other than mindless work for eternity,he was not as obedient as his older brother when it came to Doing what they were ‘made’ for,his brother wasn’t stupid but he was naive and oblivious.
Unicron heard footsteps coming close so he immediately grabbed the cloud he used as a pillow from earlier and covered his failed planet out of fear,He didn’t turn around just yet And hoped that His older brother was just passing by but unfortunately he wasn’t “Unicron” his older brother addressed him,He could see the long shadow of his older brother looming over him by the light of the suns hovering within the universe,even though he knew he was much taller than his older brother now.
”I’m not going to repeat myself” Primus said in an agitated tone which sounded like he was going to explode into a fit of rage any second and Unicron hated that tone,Primus would lash out at Unicron when they were younger if he did anything that was slightly out of line or if he disrespected the one,Unicron slowly turned to see his brother standing straight with crossed arms “Stand up when I’m talking to you,your being disrespectful”
From instincts Unicron stood up since he feared what would happen if he didn’t comply,his legs shook as he stood up and it was a surprise how he didn’t fall,he hid the cloud covering the planet behind him “Is there something you need from me? My help?” He asked meekly,Primus pinched his nose “What did you do?”
Unicron grit his teeth as his voice began to flutter “Can you be… more specific?- Can you be more specific,please?”
“I found one of your little ‘creations’ drifting across my orbital systems,did you really think I wouldn’t notice? I’m not stupid Unicron” his brother scolded him,Unicron rolled his eyes as his shoulders slouched “…not stupid enough to realize how much of a lapdog you are-“
and that remark was answered with a punch to the side of his face,Thats odd,usually it was slaps or pushes but punches? That was new,he brought his hand to the part that got hurt and felt it,his blood began to seep through and once it got a good taste of the atmosphere it turned into a boiling and spiky texture that stung him,he was so focused on looking at his own glowing purple blood that he didn’t notice when his brother recoiled and aimed to punch again.
this time it was aimed for under his chin and his head was knocked backwards “Can you not interrupt me?! I’m trying to give you a lecture so you can change and be better and so that The One will be proud of us,I don’t want our creator to be mad at you and it will be my fault for not correcting you-“
”Bullshit!” Unicron spat out as he wiped away the dried spikes spewing from his mouth as he accidentally bit his tongue “I don’t need your help- I’m fine as I am! It’s you who needs help Primus! You’ve been brainwashed and manipulated by the one to follow orders without a second thought- you don’t even think about anything other than your duties-“
”I think about you,I’m trying to help you Unicron” Primus pleaded as he walked closer towards his younger brother who he had raised and nurtured his whole life ever since he was born,still fearing that his older brother would hit and hurt him again Unicron back away cowardly even though he knew he was much physically stronger than his brother.
”I… I don’t need your help,I don’t need you…!” He cried out,Primus glared at him disappointedly before pushing him away “Yes.You.Do” he said with each syllable burning a hole inside Unicrons heart,Primus pushed his head to the back “I took care of you Unicron,all your actions are because of me,all those centuries caring for a child and this is how you repay me you ungrateful piece of shi-“
“Stop it!!” He begged as he unknowingly pushed his brother away without a second thought with more force than intended,his large and coarse servos slashed long deep wounds into his brothers body making blood draw out from those wounds,It took Unicron a few seconds to register what he had just done as he wiped away the crystalline tears from his eyes and stared at his brother who didn’t even flinch.
Primus wasn’t even staring at his wounds,his eyes were still fixated on Unicron with so much wrath and disgust,his mouth turned into a frown of pity as he began to lunge at his younger brother and proceed to beat him up as hard as he could as Unicron tried to defend himself in any way and try to reason with his older brother.
He was strangled,slapped,punched,scratched,kicked,beaten as hard as he could endure,Unicron knew he could fight back but he didn’t want to,he didn’t want to make Primus any more mad than he already was,the last time he was ever this mad was when they were younger and he said something rude to the the one which ended with their creator giving both of them a slap.
as if his creators punishment wasn’t enough,the second the one was gone his older brother immediately strangled him with his own rings.
”Please- Please Primus! I didn’t mean to do that- I didn’t mean it,I didn’t mean to hurt you,I just want to talk- please!” He sobbed as he tried to pry him older brothers hands off of him so that Primus would stop trying to rip him apart limb by limb,it was painful to endure his brothers beatings.
”The One gave you a mind to think- use it you ignorant idiot!” Primus screamed into his face as he kept punching and beating his own younger brother,his own pain and suffering was sacrificed just so he could raise him,while not being related through blood they were still brothers.
Primus unintentionally kicked something else while lecturing Unicron and that thing was the cloud,Primus knew damn well that it wasn’t fully a cloud since he had experience in nature and natural formations for eons,he got up and walked over to the cloud before ripping the cloud apart and seeing glimpses of the failed planet,without even thinking he grabbed the planet and smashed it on his brother.
”Is this what you think of me? Some sick joke? Are my creations just trash for you to-“ he kicked his younger brother “Vandalize and violate!? This is a mockery of my abilities that were given by our Creator! I’m creating life And you’re making a joke about it! Can’t you ever take things seriously?” Primus hissed.
Unicron stared at his Older brother with teary eyes clogging his vision and warping his perspective of him “No… No…! That wasn’t what I intended- my intentions weren’t to purposely destroy your creations,I just wanted to do something like you would,create,I wanted to create like you Primus…! And you mentioned that you didn’t really care much about your creations and then I saw a blank looking planet-“
A big chunk of the failed planet was dropped on top of his head “Save it,I’m not falling for your sob story Unicron,take responsibility for your selfish actions and apologize” Primus demanded,Unicron stayed silent before shaking his head which earned him another multiple rounds of punches.
After a brutal punch to his jaw Primus wiped his hand across the side of his brothers head to reel in the blood “I should just kill you here and now and I won’t regret it,millions of years will pass by like seconds And I’ll just make another Sibling,one who won’t act like a disobedient disgrace and I’ll love that hypothetical sibling for perfectionism,
I have a duty I can’t ever ignore Unicron,the duty to give life to this young universe-“
”I don’t give!-“ he spat out blood directly at his brothers face grossly “I don’t give two flying fucks about the universe! And I certainly don’t give a damn if I live a million years with you torturing me forever,I will create life and I won’t let you stop me from defying our reality so I can achieve my dreams!-“ he was met with another punch straight to the face.
By now Primus’s fists were bloodied and stained “Are you seriously saying you’re willing to die for your pathetic excuse of a planet? Your more embarrassing then I raised you as” Primus taunted while beating his face until it was unrecognizable “Why even try if you know your creations won’t turn out as good as mine?” Primus asked him angered.
”Because your my inspiration” Unicron murmured with barely and strength left inside him,Primus was about to hit again but paused Right before his fist could hit Unicron,he proceeded to go limp as he fell down on the area right beside his brother with his back facing down,he groaned “For your sake,I won’t tell our creator,but if you try pulling something like this again I won’t hesitate to tell,
am I to be understood?” His older brother huffed while plucking away the life sprouting from his own wounds,Unicron turned his head to the side to look at his brother tiredly “Yeah…” he said knowing that he would most likely try to do it again.
“Why are we here…?” Unicron complained as he was dragged by his elbow by his older brother,Primus shrugged “The One says that we’re going to be doing something important” Primus states as they finally arrived at the designated part of the Universe,then a gust of wind blew past them as their creators presence was known.
”I have a task for both of you to complete,something vital for the development of this new universe” their creator said to them in a hollow echoing voice that was obnoxiously loud,Primus winced from it contrasting to Unicron who seemed more unbothered.
”Primus” Their creator addressed him “I want you to show me your best works of your creations” their creator commissioned before focusing on Unicron “Unicron” their creator addressed “I want you to present me with a clean form of solid matter devoid of life”
”As you wish” they both said in unison while curtsying although Unicron had less enthusiasm than his older brother,they were shooed away rudely and Unicron felt even more agitated “What even is the purpose of this task? Is it a test or something?” He asked his older brother only to see that he had immediately began sorting through his creations to see which one would impress their creator the most.
Unicron decided not to bother him and instead went to go lay down on a cloud for hours in a relaxing position,he had all the time in the world to finish his task so he supposed he could wait awhile,it’s not like he was going to put much effort into the task anyways,he was just assigned to do something he did everyday And that didn’t seem so hard.
so he rested lazily in his cloud while his older brother worked meticulously on finding the greatest planet to show their creation.
Primus searched and searched for eons just to find the perfect planet that would satisfy his creator and earn him some approval,he found planets that he created that were shiny,translucent,bright,and beautiful but he had to find the Perfect one,the best out of the best.
he turned to look at his brother hoping that he was doing the assignment they were gave but instead he found his younger brother lazily napping on a makeshift bed made out of a large cloud,Primus’s face contorted into disappointment as he paused his scavenging and walked over to his younger brother.
He towered over his brother who was deep asleep and wondered what he should do,so like any older sibling would he tore apart a piece of that cloud and turned it into a pillow before smacking it at Unicron who immediately screamed and woke up “Primus what the fuck!?” His younger brother cursed while yanking the pillow away from him.
Primus scoffed “You are so unbelievable!- at least finish the damn task first before taking a rest! You didn’t even do anything yet! I’m not letting you get scolded at by our creator so wake the hell up and get to work Unicron!” He scolded his younger brother as he dragged him off the cloud and onto the galaxy floor before shoving a planet at him.
”Here,I don’t like this one so do your job- your task is literally easier than mine! Just wipe it clean and thats all!” His brother yelled at him before resuming his own work,Unicron groaned while rubbing his temples from the headache his older brother was giving him but he knew Primus meant well because he cares about him enough to make sure he wouldn’t get yelled at or smacked by their creator.
But even then Unicron could care less about what their creator could do to him,still he didn’t want to disappoint Primus so he got to work and cracked his knuckles before chopping off any large chunks of the planet that stood up such as mountains and large trees,looking back at the planet it wasn’t even that bad but maybe in the eyes of his older brother it wasn’t pretty enough.
The Planet had a few canyons so of course he used the remains of the destroyed mountains to fill in those holes,with one big punch he knocked the planet really hard causing it to change what material it was made of going from dirt and rocks to solid matter,it was still pretty spiky and had a lot of texture so he dusted off his hands and began to smooth out the surface of the planet until it looked like a round bouncy ball,similar to one of the toys Primus made for him when he was young.
”Finally…” he sighed in relief as held the planet close to his glowing chest and rested his head on it tiredly,he summoned the cloud from earlier and flopped onto it while holding the planet tight like a plushie,he wasn’t sleepy enough to take a nap so he supposed he would just lay there for awhile until their creator summoned them again.
The task wasn’t much but he did find it pretty annoying and unnecessary,he could do so much more than mundane tasks like talk to his planets as if they were people or eat clouds since they were so fluffy And had a good texture,He could spend some time with his older brother too but his creator just had to assign them some boring little task.
He then began to throw the planet up in the air where it would levitate for a moment before falling back down due to gravity being near him,he threw it and watched the planet go up and down and back into his hands again,it was like playing catch with a ball,it awakened a feeling of nostalgia within his spark where Primus made a sun just to use it as a ball so they could play together.
Unicron let his processor wonder for awhile,and by awhile he let his processor wonder for Decades because he always thought so much about everything,he liked looking into things deeply because there were so many details to everything in existence,existence itself was complex as well.
Life was Complex,Death was Complex,everything was complex,to him at least,maybe it was because he wasn’t temporary or mortal because everything else was,Suns would explode and die,Moons could crack in half and drift away,Planets could collide and disrupt the orbital system,Meteor showers and asteroids would wreak havoc,but he would remain the same,everything else would go change while he was still… him!
Sure he was growing older but it felt so much more slower compared to everything around him,His favorite toy would become worn down and deemed too broken to play with in a span of a minute,his favorite cloud-bed would begin to rain causing the cloud to deflate and his bed gone,Nothing was eternal for him because he was eternal and nothing else was except for his beloved brother.
All Life would die someday And there was nothing he could do to stop it because he was death itself by force,the only thing he could get attached to was his older brother because he was the only eternal thing that he could stick with forever,the only forever company he had out of everything else that would grow and die someday.
And while he did argue with his older brother over conflict every now and then they were still family by love and care,not by blood because their bloods were vastly different and so were their ‘biological Parents’
He wanted to remain beside his older brother forever and ever and ever.
”Hey” Primus nudged him,Unicron stared at his older brother who was spinning a really unique planet on his finger like a ball “You look like your done,so let’s go present our results to our creator” His older brother said while shooing away the cloud and dragging his younger brother by his elbow to a specific spot of the galaxy.
”The One!” He called out,not even a few seconds later gushes of wind blew right by them as the two brothers felt their creators presence throughout the universe,Unicron gripped his older brothers hand uneasily as he hid behind him,”I see that you’ve both finished your assignments,your effort is appreciated” Their Creator compliments them both.
Primus smiled proudly “It was our pleasure-“
”Did I say you could talk? I’m not done yet” their creator scolded him,Primus folded into himself embarrassedly without saying a word,Unicron held one hand over his stomach in disgust as he fought the urge not to make a confrontation,Their creator took the Dull and smooth planet that was devoid of life and texture before glancing at the pretty planet Primus had brought in.
”You did your job well Unicron,not a speck of dirt or any ecosystems in sight,you did well” Their creator praised him,He bit his tongue and smiled “But Primus,what am I looking at? I’ve seen dust storms greater than this,I’m very dissatisfied and disappointed in what you have done,couldn’t you accomplish more than your brother? He does look up to you after all” their creator remarked.
Both Of the brothers had an expression of shock and disbelief,for once their creator was favoring The younger brother instead of the older,something rare and unheard of,Primus clutched his fists and tried his best not to frown while maintaining an emotionless face,Unicron seemed surprised but was oblivious to the whirlpool of emotions his brother was going through.
”You truly disappoint me,don’t talk to me until I’m not mad at you anymore” and with that their creator was gone,Primus stood as still as stone while Unicron scratched his head confused “I don’t get it,why would- why would- ugh!” He yelled in frustration,Primus turned to look at his brother “Yes your right,our creator gave me a harder task on purpose and expected me to fail anyways”
”But I don’t get it? The planet you chose was perfectly fine!” He whined,Primus clenched his teeth and locked his jaw “Maybe it’s because our creator thinks that beauty is in the eye of the beholder” he seethed while focusing on his younger brothers horns,Unicron nodded in agreement “Maybe yeah maybe nah”
Feeling something sour and disgusting brewing within himself he turned away “I think I need some time to myself” he said before transporting himself into the first pocket dimension he ever made.
Water and waves,salt and grains,a peaceful environment that wasn’t suitable for the hateful intentions and thoughts forming within his mind,He wanted to feel proud of his younger brother for actually making their creator proud for once but he didn’t expect to feel something he wished he had never felt.
Jealousy.
why was he so envious of Unicron? he should’ve been proud and relieved that he actually satisfied their creator for once,he should’ve pat him on the back and took him to the grasslands to celebrate his achievement,he should’ve been happy for his younger brother for Doing the thing that he’s been telling him to do all this time.
But at the cost of having his feelings hurt,it felt worse than he expected,for once he wasn’t in the spotlight or the highlights,he was insulted and degraded infront of his younger brother who looked up to him and that made the tension within him bubble up into something worse,he clenched his fists and fell to his knees before punching the salt water over and over while imagining his family’s face on his reflection.
His creator,His brother,the two White holes,Whatever,He needed to do this or else he would lash out at Unicron again and he didn’t want something bad to happen this time so he kept punching the water over and over,was this a healthy way to cope with bottled up emotions? Technically he wasn’t hurting anyone or himself so maybe yes?
Soon after awhile his arms got tired so he stopped punching and laid flat on his back on the sea floor,he already punched waves while pretending those were his brother but the wrath and envy within his spark still remained like a spiteful stain,He squinted his eyelids when he felt the familiar breeze of his creator and clenched his teeth.
”What is it you want” he addressed his creator frustratedly,”I can sense something new in your spark,I can hear it brewing and growing into something disgusting and horrid,cease this tumor or else it will interfere” His creator told him to do before vanishing.
Primus grated his fingers across the floor leaving scratch marks under the water,his breath hitch and soon he found himself screaming and throwing a fit against the sea floor like some sort of immature creature,he was told to handle his emotions and he was,this was how he would handle it and there was no stopping him,it was his own life.
The tides rippled and the salt waters that were once calm and unmoving were splashed and sloshed until giant waves formed,he punched and punched until his knuckles bled and the salt from the sea wasn’t making the situation any better so he paused his tantrum and stared at the marks on his fists before standing up and staring at the endless ocean.
Subconsciously he felt something begin to form within his palms,it wasn’t until that something had finished forming that he noticed something heavy was being held by him,he looked down and saw his hand holding a saber that was glowing as bright as a star,it’s peak was sharp and pointy and the base was sturdy.
He had created this,a star saber,he held it in both of his hands and stared at his own reflection through the metallic blade which was rippled due to his hands being wet from the ocean,his eyes,yellow and dull,looked back at him depressingly,he bit his tongue and hid the star saber behind his back before exiting the pocket dimension.
There he saw his younger brother sitting down and making intricate statues out of hail storm clouds and using the hailstones as beads to make jewelry,he noticed his older brother and smiled “Primus! I was wondering when you’d come back,anyways I made Bracelets” Unicron said while handing him a scratchy looking bracelet held together by icicles.
”Now we can match” Primus accepted the gift while placing it on his wrist and flexing it,the hailstones shined under his light,it complimented the rings that spun around him,and it went well with Unicron too,Primus glanced at the identical bracelet on his younger brothers wrist before tapping him “I was thinking… uhm,do you want to go to the grasslands later? It’s been quite awhile since we last went there,I think that I should be spending more time with you-“
and he was immediately tackled into a playful hug “No kidding! You should definitely take more breaks to relax yourself,and plus- we haven’t been talking to each other as much as we used to back then” his younger brother compared before dragging him to the grasslands.
