Chapter Text
This is the land of Miitopia.
It is place where everyone can live in peace and harmony.
Or at least... it was.
The darkness came without warning...
A great and terrible shadow threatening all of Miitopia!
An unspeakably evil fiend started stealing everyone's faces!
And to add insult to injury...
The fiend gave the faces to monsters!
Behold, a simple traveler wander-...Wait I think he's just sleeping under a tree. But a traveler non the less!
Now this is where our tale begins.
A tale of The Coolest Hero!
-<........>-
The Traveler was sleeping under the tree. He had a brown bag beside him. He had dark blue hair but poking out of his hair were two black horns. And his traveling outfit was also a similar blue to match. There was some cloth wrapped around his waist that held together an imp like tail. But it didn't seem to be a real one at all. But most importantly laying on his face as he slept were sunglasses. After all how can you be cool without them!
He continued in his trip in dream land as he laid on the soft grass.
As he slept a presence starts to approach him in his sleep until it is looming over him.
"Hhm..." He mumbles as he opens one eye to see a butterfly in his face.
"Oh just a butterfly." He rolls over onto his side continue sleeping. "Leave me alone I'm trying sleep."
"Wait..." He looks over at the butterfly to see it had big eyes. "I'm pretty sure butterflies don't have those." It let out some kind of screech at him. In a panic he grabs his bag and swings it right into the butterfly.
"What the fuck!?"
It was knocked back by the force but got right back up. "Ha ha! Still think you can fight me? I'm Ace the coolest guy around!" Ace boasted while also shaking a bit.
The butterfly let out a shriek as more butterflies with eyes start to come closer.
Ace blinked. "Ok we'll call this a draw." As he starts making a dash across the fields.
"Nope! Nope! Nope! I ain't dying to butterflies! That's a stupid way to die!" Ace yelled as he continued running.
-<........>-
Ace was out of breathe as he reached a nearby town.
Once he did he saw someone by the entrance and tried to explain what just happened.
Only for him to laugh in his face.
"Monster with eyes? Pfft! Hahahaha!" Ace looked annoyed at the townsperson.
"Now that's funny! You must of been seeing things. Look nothing bad happens around he-" As he speaks dark clouds starts to cover the sky.
"You were saying?" Ace said bluntly.
They both look up towards the sky. Ace lowers his sunglasses to see the dark clouds better. As a voice cackled from above.
"Mwaa ha ha haaa!" Ace looked around at the sky to try and see where that creepy voice was coming from. Then from the dark clouds appears a horned figure from the sky. While Ace's horns were more pointy this one's horn were a lot more curved then his. He had dark black hair that Ace could swear that it looked like it was moving. He had a long purple cloak and a matching purple robe with it. His skin was pale blue. Hanging from his neck was a golden charm in the shape of an eye.
He had a sinister smile on his face as he looked upon the people below.
"Who even is that guy?" Ace said tilting his head to the side.
"Ahem...HEY DARK AND CREEPY! WHO ARE YOU!?" Ace yelled out.
"What!? What are you doing!?" The guy next to him said in a panic.
"Clearly getting answers." Ace said bluntly.
The horned figure looks down towards Ace.
"I was getting to that. I am the Dark Lord! Dark Lord Emory! Mwaa ha ha haaa!" Dark Lord Emory cackled.
"Dark Lord Emory? Or is just Emor-" The guy standing next to him covers his mouth.
"Shush! Do want to make him mad!?"
Ace grabs his hand and pulls it away. "Oh what is he going to do? He's already made the sky dark which means I can't wear my sunglasses at the moment. Which is already the worst thing possible."
He just stares at Ace. "What?"
"Ahem! Anyway! I've come to wreck havoc and terror on this miserable little world! And I'm starting with you, people of Greenhorne!"
"Huh I wonder what that is-" Ace was saying but stopped when the guy's face just comes right off his body.
"Eh!?" The guy panics as his face floats up towards the Dark Lord along with a few other faces from the townsfolk.
"Oh shit!" Ace said looking at the floating faces by Dark Lord Emory's side.
"Say goodbye to your faces!"
Dark Lord Emory admired his work before announcing. "Hmhp. I think this should do nicely for now."
He points down below. "Now listen here, faceless freaks!"
The faceless people along with the people who still had their faces shook in terror at the Dark Lord looking down at them. "I hope you like a life of wordless terror, because that's all you've got now!"
He gave a sinister smile. "And to those of you left behind...Take a nice long look at your poor little friends..."
"AND DESPAIR!!! BUH BYE! MWAA HA HA HAAAA!!!" And Dark Lord Emory flew away with the faces that he stole.
Ace looked around still a bit shock. "Well...I...Didn't expect that..."
He turned to the guy that he was standing next to. And gave him a little poke in the face. Or whatever was left of it that wasn't mouth, eyes, or nose.
"Huh...So...How are you going to eat now? Or breathe even?"
Then Ace heard some sobbing. He turned around to see a woman with a long dress holding a faceless child closely.
"It's going to be ok...I'm here..."
"Huh..." He said before stepping closer to the women.
She noticed him getting closer. "You! Adventurer! You have to help me!" The women begged.
"That...Thing stole my precious...Lei's face..." Ace looked at the child with curly red hair as they also hold onto their Mother.
"...Why of course!" Ace smirked.
"Now It wouldn't be cool of me to reject this kind of request!" The woman sighed with relief as she pulled out a charm that was purple with a closed eye in the middle of it.
"Please take this. it's our family's good luck charm. Hopes it'll keep you safe from the Dark Lord."
Ace takes the charm and places it around his neck. "Have no fear ma'am! I'll get their face back in no time!"
Ace runs forward but he trips right onto the ground landing face first. He quickly pushes himself up before turning back to the woman smiling. "I'm ok!"
As he runs out of Greenhorne. And towards the grassy hills ahead seeing a familiar figure in the distance.
"Oh he's not getting away from me! He's gonna face my uhh..." Ace looked around to see what he could use as a weapon and looked at his bag.
He proudly holds up his bag. "My bag! The perfect weapon!"
He swings the bag around by the strap. "Ha! Dark Lord whatever! Prepare for a bag to the face!" But as he swung the bag around it came loose and was sent away a bit from him. "Oops."
He runs over to his bag and picks it back up. "Alright maybe I can pratice some cool moves with my bag. And maybe some cool one liners." Ace's eyes sparkle at that idea.
"Ha! I'm so smart!"
