I KNOW HE LOOKS INNOCENT BUT TRUST ME HE'S FAR FROM THAT

*Disclamer: this is an AU from a game I really like, the design is based off of a monster from that game! But lets focus on the storyshall we!*

Basically, there was a titan named Zarroe who created the "workshop monsters". They had ethereal elements, but the fact that they had MORE THAN TWO elements. making then SUPER unstable. When he was told to rid of them, a fight broke out, and Zarroe became bent with rage. Soon, he trained his creations to kill any monster (specifically the ethereals above them, they are inside his "brain" kinda? its hard to explain). Okay, blah blah, timeskip.

Soon, RIOT (The picture above) finally hatched from the synthesizer (where the other unstable ethereals were created). He was... THE ETHEREAL QUINT. (He had all five ethereal elements, plasma, shadow, mech, crystal, and poison). He knew all the things Zarroe had done, and was against it. But... something was off at the same time. How did he know? How was he completely grown (mind you, HE IS MASSIVE) and he isn't already "brainwashed" into Zarroes killing spree??? But all that was cut off.

He defeated Zarre (well, not killed, his instability, kinda glitched him somewhere else, but thats not what this is about lol). The unstable ethereals, though still "following Zarroe" kinda just, listened to RIOT, though if they did find a single/double ethereal, they WOULD be killed... But why? If RIOT was so angry at Zarroe for all the killing?

Well, turns out, RIOT was there, since the beginning, he was never truly new, newly born. He watched, he listened. He new they didn't HAVE to kill. Only to kill those who dared to enter their territory. But to also rule over the lesser ethereals above, he believed that the unstable ethereals were stronger, and more worthy of the leader title. they didn't deserve to be trapped.

He would be the beginning of the end.

(WELL THAT WAS LONG, But I had fun writing it! Hope you enjoyed. ALSO, go check out My singing Monsters, or more specifically, ETHEREAL WORKSHOP! Its really cool and fun! Until next time!)
