Terezi and Vriska were supposed to be closer than best friend they were supposed to be scourge sisters to enforce the law as legislacerator and gamblignant. But the two could never be on equal ground, separated as they were by class and blood. A highblood could get away with things that a low blood could never.
But this was important for Terezi. It was important for her to open her eyes to the injustice of her society and of the universe. And though the price for standing up would be great, she would never choose otherwise.

After years lost from home, the young woman makes her return to her fathers home. She expects a warm arrival, but is greeted instead with the cold ambition of a man obsessed with his business.

How can you overcome impostor syndrome when you are nothing but an impostor? When your only role in life to destroy your sire is already done and dusted?
When the police finally found you, after you had quite frankly quit trying to run and instead drowned your self-loathing in the bottom of a bottle, you thought that they were going to take you to jail. (As if anything could compete with the hell of the Underworld that you had already escaped.)
But they came with not a handcuff but a handshake. You kept your eye on the one who called himself Phoenix, clad in the ridiculous lucha libre of the F-Zero races of yesteryear as if he lived in a time where the races hadnt been banned after The Accident because he then said that he *did* come from a time where...hmm, no, the races had been banned, but they had started back up again. The difference between your timeline and his was that instead of a 3 year moratorium on the F-Zero race was its complete elimination, and in its elimination the crime syndicates turned to worse things to feed their demons. This timeline was off because the accident had been worse. Instead of minor injuries was the death of a person key to the timeline.
Your sire.
Only someone of close enough genetic lineage could make things right. Maybe you would have a purpose after all?
This would not have been possible without the original instrumental arrangement and performance that inspired all of this by @SheaViolin : listen to the instrumental on her channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6yYAtXP_G8
And the vision was brought to life with the pixel artwork of @killerrabbitmedia
🎵 Song: Big Blue
🎮 Game: F-Zero
🎼 Composer: Naoto Ishida
Lyrics:
This is a story about a
“King” of a “castle” disguised in
Shadows and treacheries such that
No one could dare to checkmate him~
When all the “nobles” decided
To take their “horses” and sheriffs
To depose that “king” they could find
Naught but the “king”’s endless victims
But…ev’ry villain…has a weakness.
This…”king”’s sadism…was his thirst for…
Risk, and chance. Gambling with life
Never his own but others
Roll the dice! Edge of the knife
The thrill of watching others
Fight! To Win with no holds barred
If the prize money won’t suffice
A chance…to meet the “king”
Our story’s hero is a most unlikely one
Not a credit to his name, just a no one
Transient hopping from bar to bar
Most likely to be caught smashed in some street brawl
But against the shadows and treacheries, he stands above it all
His past is shrouded in a mystery
Who is he? And where did he come from?
Some say this lowlife became a vigilante after his betrayal in the Underworld…
Some say he’s ex-military, a captain from an era with a civil society
And not this wild west of an intergalactic tyranny of endless fiefdoms
Where your only justice is the warlord that you come from
Could such a man infiltrate and disgrace the most powerful kingdom of crime in our age
If he entered the king’s “jousting tourney” and he won it all
For just a chance to meet the greatest “king”
To depose him once and for all

Star Fox 64 - Zoness with Lyrics [🎷📖] A Star Fox lore story and narrative saxophone cover of the Zoness theme.
While Falco Lombardi could be a bit standoffish at times, the rest of the Star Fox team came to appreciate that about the avian ace. Falco showed up to missions, performed reliably and competently, and then apart from that, mostly kept to himself. He didnt reveal too much about his past, but that was fine.
During the Lylat Wars, the team saw the mask slip twice. The initial mission to Corneria seemed to rattle Falco. But as the team progressed further to Andross, the team was surprised by Falcos surprisingly emotional reaction to the destruction of the ocean planet Zoness.
After all was said and done, Fox would try to break the comfortable DMZ of silence that the team maintained with Falco to understand more. Who was that Katt Monroe character and how did Falco know her...?
When Falco stormed off after this question, it was up to Fox to find him and figure out what nerve he had touched...Perhaps he might find his companion back on Zoness..?

![only sleeps embrace can overpower hers ft @Cavatina [🎷📖 Rhythm Heaven Megamix]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/i96NLYggs08/mqdefault.jpg "only sleeps embrace can overpower hers ft @Cavatina [🎷📖 Rhythm Heaven Megamix]
I did not expect a 1.5 minute minigame from Rhythm Heaven Megamix to have such emotional depth, but as soon as I heard Blue Bear, I was obsessed.
So, I went overboard. I gave Beary and Bearbara a back story, the Integrated City, and ramped the emotions up to 11. Throughout this cover story, I played around a lot with questions such as: what sorts of misunderstandings would occur in a world in which animals have human-level intelligence, but still plenty of animal traits? How would they struggle to blend traditional animal traits to newfound human behaviors? Would anyone understand?
Major thanks to @Cavatina for providing fantastic vocals :D Check out her channel at:
