Diamond in the Coal (SI) [WORM]

[TrueGuardian32]

The Diamond Knight.

Figured I would transmigrate into this. I have no facial features, my face is a massive diamond, which glows blue when I want it to. It's embedded on my kevlar like black skin. Yeah, I am practically naked all the time in this body, but then again, it's not like I have any junk in this body anyway. As far as I know, the Diamond Knight personas body is so dense that it is practically indestructible, I mean I am practically a walking black hole. The gravity my body generates goes straight to my diamond face and is turned into energy. Which I can use as powerful beams. So we have a tall thin-like man, whose skin is charcoal black and has a face that is a legit diamond. Yeah, the parallelogram diamond is an interesting thing. It's also what let me know that I'm not exactly a normal person anymore. I woke up around thirty minutes ago at some docks. That was plenty to clue me in to where I was. Cause of all the floating boats.

*BOOM*

Of course. This is a pretty obvious plot point. I am in worm, aren't I? Well. I suppose it isn't all bad. If I am the Diamond Knight, I am an Endbringer Tier walking weapon. Plus if needed I can choose to escalate. Well then. I should try the Diamond Knights abilities then. If I really am him. First of all... Flight. The Diamond Knight has no gravitation pull, so up can be down and down can be up. With energy I can push myself in directions. Which was a useful thing, allowing me to glide across surfaces with utter ease. So I head towards the noise. It doesn't take long to get where the fighting is happening. Hmm. Is that a Tinker!Taylor? Cause I thought Taylor had that form-fitting spider silk outfit, then again. That's a ton of drones.

I push myself to the ground. In front of the hulking figure of a lizard human hybrid. Lung. He's far in his rage. Immediately sending an inferno directly at me. Hmm. I'm immune to fire. So I have the same durability I suppose. If so, doesn't that I mean I am practically invincible in this world? Well. No matter. I catch the arm that Lung tries to bat me out of the way with. Stopping him completely. I am an immovable object if I wish to be. I summon a ball of pure kinetic energy and proceed to clock him in the jaw with it. I watch as the giant starts to shrink. Out cold. Soon, I am holding onto the arm of a naked asian man. Hmm. I throw him to the side. I hear a crack as something breaks off my back. I stretch my senses as I turn within milliseconds. I can see the strands of energy attempt to cover him as he tries to teleport. Or well, clone himself. I disperse it with my own and knock him out with a blow to the jaw. Hmm. I just took both Lung and Oni Lee within 10 minutes of my arrival into this world.

Hmm. I glance at the carnage around me. Collateral damage is everywhere. I need to fix this. If possible. Hmm. I put my hand out, then press it flat on the air, and send a wave of anti-energy out. I am not sure what to call it. But all fires are extinguished as it passes through them. I have to prevent it from sucking the energy out from anything else than the fire. In moments the blazing glory is reduced to nothing. Then I spread out both hands, and use the rewind power. Undoing the damage from the fight, powerlines connect themselves to each other and the cracks on the ground are restored to their former appearance, the collapsed buildings start to reform. It only takes a few moments, and the damage has been repaired.

Oh, Taylor is trying to talk to me. ... How did Diamond Knight hear again? I think he was a telepath, but in the scenarios in my head, he heard perfectly. So why can't I hear? Is it cause o- Oh. I am constantly absorbing the kinetic force around me. Which means vibrations don't reach me. Let's see.

"I mean... thanks for the help."

I raise my hands, forming an energy beam, then I shape it into words.
*Can you repeat everything you just said? I only just started to hear things.*
"Your joking with me right?"
*Nope. Hey your a hero right?*
"I, Yes yes I am a hero."
*Cool. Do you know a place I can stay? I'm kinda lost.*
"Kind of-" "Oh." "Um, the protectorate can help you."
*How do I get to this Protectorate?*

"Someone should be here soon."
*Alright.*
We are silent for a moment as Taylor gets into deep thought.
*If your a hero you should probably work on reducing collateral damage.*
"Hey, I can't control what Lung does!"
*That is True, but you could have lured the man into the water. That way the possibility of collateral damage is lowered.*
"I.."
*Don't worry too much. Your learning aren't you? Just learn from your mistakes and you will be a great hero!*
"Thanks."

I hear a rocket. I raise my hands forming balls of energy, getting ready to rain hell upon whoever is interrupting us. A flash of red appears as a man on a very sci-fi looking red bike appears. Does this guy have a red fetish? Oh wait, isn't he "Wait he's a good guy!" Oops, I fell into combat mode on accident. I glance at Taylor as disperse my energy balls.

Armsmaster lowers his halberd. Wow, he completely exudes arrogance. "Are you going to fight me."
I couldn't help myself. *If you want me too?*
"Wait no! We are heroes!"
Of course, ruin my fun Taylor.
He grunts.
"Really! Look there's Lung and Oni Lee!" She says pointing at the two unconscious super villains. "And he's a Monster cape! He doesn't know any better!"
*I take offense to that!*
"Sorry!"
Armsbeard looks at me. "Case 53?"
*Hm. Case 53, Monster Cape. How many things am I going to be called?*
"It's not an offensive term. It's for people who had problems like you."
*I'll have you know, I am just fine! A bit homeless, but I can fix that! Eventually.*

What is with his beard. I haven't been able to stop looking at it since he appeared. He moves to tranquilize the two unconscious villains. Who are very cooperative, you could say unconsciously so.
I watch as Armsb- Wait, Have I been calling him Armsbeard in my head this entire time? He's Armsmaster! Get it straight. Next thing I know I'll start calling him Collins.
Anyways, he's giving the wards speech to Taylor.
I put my hand in front of him.
*Can't you stop? If you can't tell, she seems to have had a troubled day. She doesn't need to be lectured right now.*
"If she goes out like this again she will get herself killed!"
*Maybe. Maybe not, this is a learning experience for her. If you don't stop pestering her I will knock you out.*

"Are you threatening me?"
*Most Definitely.*
"Wait don't fight!"
*Relax Robot Girl, we won't fight. After all, if he makes the first move, his credibility is gone and so is his reputation.*
"You know a lot for a Case 53."
*I'm a Minor Precog / Thinker.*
"So are you coming with me?"

*Most likely, I wonder if it's because of your power that you are this callous?*
The PRT vans start to arrive.
*Robot Girl, if you don't want to get strong-armed into the wards you should probably get going.*
"I'm sorry Armsmaster! I need to go!" Then she's off. Cool rocket shoes! I wonder how they work.

I can feel Armsbeard glaring at me.

This is my NYANarchy story. You can only read it here, I do not crosspost.
INDEX:

[TrueGuardian32]

One of my Personas, The Diamond Knight is a walking compounded black hole with a giant gem for a face. He's 8 feet tall, humanoid. And can easily push out enough force to actually vaporize flesh of an Endbringer.

Nominally the Diamond Knight is a telepath who is capable of broadcasting thoughts to others. Although the SI hasn't learned to do that yet.

The Diamond Knight has two other powerful abilities.
Rewind and Energy Manipulation.
Rewind allows him to undo the damage in a large area.
Energy Manipulation allows him to produce beams of energy that he takes from the gem he has for a face.

 

[HammeredApple]

Well, you've certainly set yourself up for a very stompy fic.
Which isn't a bad thing, stomp fics can be oodles of fun in their own right. Throwing an SI into an AU is a nice touch by the way, and I want to ask how much Crack this story will have?

 

[TrueGuardian32]

So. My life currently? Apparently supposed to be really sucky. Cause the number of classes I’m going to have to go for Society Integrations is freaking insane. WHY?! Well… Then again the normal C53s have no knowledge of this world. I’m just confident cause I feel safe as heck. Mainly cause I’m freaking invulnerable. I don’t even have brain matter, so I can’t be mastered. Plus the Telepathic capabilities of the Diamond Knight are starting to activate. I’m sensing people's base emotions now. It’s leading to some real easy diversions when dealing with everyone. It’s easier to mess with people when you can back off right when they are about to reach their breaking point.

Armsbeard, who I have given up on calling Armsmaster, has been dragging me around since I arrived. When I’m not in class? I’m with him. Normally watching him work on things in his lab. He apparently thinks of me as a security risk. Which is… understandable? I guess. Surprisingly enough I haven’t been pushed into the Wards. Yet. I’ve taken a look at the rules, or laws. Apparently they can’t do that to C53s until they finish their classes. Although most C53s join with the Protectorate after the classes end.

This also means I’m not allowed to see the faces of the wards yet. Shadow Stalker avoids me 100% of the time. Probably because whenever I see her I project the feeling of judgment at her with my abilities. Also, Gallant? He can’t actually read me. I got feelings of surprise when he looked at me. Then, like the idiot I was. I started to play around and project different emotions around and just stared at him.

Then the PRT finally had a reason to drag me into Power Testing. Apparently me actively using my powers beside my first appearance was what they were waiting for. Stupid rules. Armsbeard was extremely happy with this, as that meant they could push me into the wards right after, stupid rules. That was when they found out that I was legitimately invulnerable. Apparently I absorb any energy projected at me. Including Kinetic. My skin is also so dense it can’t even be cut by Armsbeards Halberd. Then they started to attempt to use anti endbringer tools against my hand. Coming out completely fine spooked Armsbeard highly. We also started to play around with my energy manipulation. Well… I’m pretty sure I have the following ratings. Brute 11, Shaker 10, Blaster 10, Master 2, Thinker 1, Mover 3.

I’m pretty sure they wanted to test me more on other abilities. Which would probably give me even more insane ratings. I’m pretty sure I’m an S Class threat level being now. The thing is? They are technically wrong, as S Class only refers to threats to the world. The Diamond Knight has the ability to manipulate energy on a universal and multidimensional scale. If I could figure out more about my abilities, I am pretty sure I could make my own version of the Kaleidoscope.

I wonder if I can summon the Diamond Knights dragon? Hm… Probably not, as I was only inspired to create that dragon in my mind after watching How To Train Your Dragon. Although it would be cool. Anyways, currently, I’m waiting for Piggot, as I am pretty sure that is who will meet me. That or Alexandria. I could actually check? My limited precognition technically does exist. Let’s Check. Huh. It’s Legend... Why? I can’t actually see the why, but I can see that in a few minutes Legend will arrive.

Well. I suppose I can go over what else has happened since I sent Lung to the PRT. Lung was broken out, I wasn’t allowed to go hunt them. Lung apparently broke out due to a member of the ABB called Wyvern. Bakuda apparently ceased to exist in this timeline. Well, not ceasing. But Cornel Bombing? It didn’t happen. Actually, I suppose I should go over the differences of this world to canon.

Something hasn't changed, such as the Endbringers, Ash Beast, Crawler, and Sleeper. However other things have, Nilbog? He got wiped out by a superhero called Fireflight. Fireflight later subsumed into the S9. I wanted to go off and wipe out all the S Class threats right off the bat. But red tape is a thing, and I don’t want to make an enemy of most of humanity, although I could do so extremely easily. Anyways, continuing on. Dragon is dead.

Yeah, hit me hard too. That caused a ton of issues, there isn’t a prison to hold the powerful villains that make it impossible for them to escape. So instead? They are frozen. Cryosleep is what they call it. It’s impossible to safely extract the prisoners from Cryosleep, so they are pretty much dead. This also means Armsbeard is even more of a screw up than normal. See, Armsbeard actually was acquainted with Dragon before she got killed off by Saint, I am pretty sure I saw the remains of her code in the lab. He’s been trying to bring his A.I. girlfriend back since she got offed by Saint.

So from everything I’ve seen so far? This world is destined to collapse in three more years. It doesn’t help that Scions isn’t a “Hero” in this timeline. Due to that? The Endbringers have had free reign to attack. Scion has just been watching everything happen. Getting ready to wipe out humanity when he is finished grieving. Thing is, that isn’t it. There are so many things screwed up with this version of Worm compared to the normal that it is insane.

It took me a bit to actually figure out what went wrong. See… I wasn’t the first SI to come to this world. I am pretty sure a CYOA arrived in this world before me during the Golden Age, and screwed EVERYTHING up in an attempt to fix things. A Tinker 10 by the name Inspired Creator. Real original right? See this guy arrived and wanted to rule basically everything. Become a god-emperor basically. Apparently he didn’t take up blank, so he got Simurghed when Simurgh attacked, and accidentally tripped…. EVERYTHING. Yeah, he was working with Cauldron before the Simurgh hunted him down.

So Brockton Bay is a mess, the world is a mess, and everything is screwed. Well, until the ultimate Me arrived. See the only way to fix this mess, from what I’ve seen… is to kill a bunch of things. Endbringers, They need to go. Scion? Bye-bye. Every active S Class threat in the world? Goodbye!

Legends here. It’s kind of hard to ignore it when someone projects that much “HOPE FOR THE FUTURE” emotion. What the heck did Cauldron tell him in order to make him this freaking happy to see me.

“Greetings Coal.” Yeah, Can’t believe I took that name, but it works well enough.
I projected my energy.
*You took forever.*
He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. “Sorry, we weren’t sure who should talk to you.”
*I suppose. So your gay right?*
“Yes?” He is concerned with the direction of this conversation.
*Why?*
He sits down. “I’m sorry, but I’m uncomfortable with the direction of this conversation.”
*I’m sorry if I offended, I was just curious. Did you just decide you were gay, or did you find someone you liked so much that it crossed the chasm that is genders? Or did you have problems with the female gender when you were younger?*
“Uh.” He is regaining some of his former hopefulness. “I like to think it was love, I met him and liked him, we hit it off. Eventually, it formed a relationship.”
*Alright.*
“That’s it? No more questions?”
*Nah, I’ve read some weird fanfiction since I arrived here, I wanted to check which one was true.*
His face turned red from embarrassment. Fanfics can do that to peops.

He takes a deep breath. “We need to get back on topic. Coal, I have a proposition for you.”

*Is it about the Golden Spacewhale with a murder boner for humanity who is currently limp from grief? Is it because of the overgrown angel with exhibitionist fetish? The Godzilla knockoff? Oh, or maybe the walking Nuclear Bomb?*

“You… Know?”

*I’ll put this to you gently. I am an Endbringer of a completely different Entity sent to this world to kill Scion, Eden, The 21 Endbringers, and then to hunt down the rest of the Entities around this universe.*

He started to panic around the mid part of the sentence, but when the rest came out he calmed down. But he was brimming with excitement and suspicion.

“Why?”

*My Creator was a Human.* I am pretty sure I was human.

He took deep breaths. Calming himself.
“So you’ve been sent here to kill the Endbringers, what are you doing right now?”

*Waiting for an Endbringer siren, so I don’t have to go searching the globe for hiding Endbringers. Although… I suppose I could go into space and fight the Simurgh, Hmm. Maybe? But without the Simurgh, the Endbringers will no longer attack in intervals. I wonder if I could subsume the Endbringers? Heh, it might give me an idea of their internal works if I could. Then again, it could be possible. Hmm. Maybe I’ll try it.*

“Are you talking about eating an endbringer?”

*No, that would be insane. I’m talking about tracking an Endbringers shard, tearing it apart and taking the patterns of energy they use for their powers.*

“How is that not insane?”

*Cause I don’t have a mouth, how in the world am I supposed to eat an Endbringer?*

…

“So you can kill them? Simurgh even?”

*Pretty easily actually. I can’t actually be mastered, so the Simurgh is pretty easy to deal with, as I am invulnerable to all types of energy, which makes the Simurghs telekinesis non-existent against me.*

“You know what? Go.”

*?*

“Go kill Simurgh. Show me that you can.”

Then I’m off, I reverse my gravity, sending my straight through the reinforced ceiling, destroying the shield that was blocking my path in an instant. I would have broken the sound barrier, if I wasn’t constantly absorbing the Kinetic Energy. In 1 Second, I was in orbit. I’m lucky I don’t need to breathe. Now I need Simurgh’s location. I push out my energy, sending a massive wave that would cover the Earth in two seconds.

There you are. The acceleration my body can withstand is intense. In moments I am standing across from the Simurgh. Well then, I start to pull immense amounts of power from my body. Balls of pure energy spread out around the Simurgh, caging her and preventing dimensional screwery from pulling the Simurgh away from me. Then I hit her. With everything I got. It takes mere moments for my beams to pierce through the mass of shards that make the Simurgh. Copying the patterns of energy beneath the entity flesh of the shard. Then… that was it. The Simurgh was gone. Completely. In mere moments I learned something interesting. The Entities? They were nothing. In Front of me or the TrueGuardian persona? They would die.

Chaos would follow soon. The death of an Endbringer is a momentous event. But the death of the Simurgh? Well… Considering what I know, the Endbringer problem is going to get a lot worse. Well, I can deal with anything that pops up within seconds of arrival. No matter how much they try to adapt to take me on.

Oh, Scions here?

[INTENT]

Questioning me aren’t you?
Let’s see. How can I word this in shard speak with telepathy…
[ENDING]
There we go, just told him I am ending the Cycle, if he continues to try to follow it or harm humanity, I will erase him from existence.
[SUBMISSION]
…
Fu- No, Do not cuss. Apparently he is submitting his existence to me. Why? Cause I have what the entities want. My energy? I can never run out of it. You know what? Screw it.
[COME]
I just gave him an option. He can either die, or be transformed.
[ACCEPTANCE]


Well.

Alright.

 

[TrueGuardian32]

Threadmarks are a thing now? Well then I am going to be making stories on here again, I will not be updating this one for a while though as the inspiration has passed.
