I looked over at Whale and Omega X as Bill sighed, then returned to his normal yellow color. "I don't have time for this," he grumbled. He snapped his fingers, and then I was blinded by light for a split second. I blinked rapidly as the light faded, and then I looked around at our new surroundings:  space. Literally space. I could see the twinkling of stars and nearby planets. And I was floating in midair.

"W-where are we?" I squeaked, looking around cautiously. "Why do you want me h-here?"

"Welcome to the mindscape," Bill said, leaning back in the air and putting his arms behind his head. "Here, you can do anything you want, but for now, I have to speak with you."

"I SWEAR I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I yelped, curling up into the fetal position and rocking myself back and forth in the air.

"Calm down, good grief, I didn't say you were.  Now listen.  I went back to the past a few days ago and found something that seems interesting.  It's something called the Guardians.  And I want you to be the Guardian for the dream element."

I stared blankly at him. "Dream isn't even an element.  How can I be a Guar-"

"WELL IT IS NOW!" Bill giggled. "You're gonna be the first Guardian for the dream element!" He looked around; he seemed to be embarrassed. Then he muttered, "Uh, that's kinda because you're the only dream demon besides me... and uh, I, er, I have too much to do... no time for Guardian stuff..."

"You're scared to do it, aren't you." I grinned at him.

"No, I-"

"You're scared!  OMG you're scared!  LELELELELELELELELELELELEL!" I started dancing in a circle, giggling. "YOU'RE SCARED, YOU'RE SCARED!  LALALALALALELEL!"

"ENOUGH!" Bill yelled at me. "It doesn't matter if I'm scared or not, you're the one doing the job!  Now, we have to do some kind of ritual thing.  Apparently it's customary for all Guardians to go through the ritual before they're an official Guardian."

"But don't we have to go back to the park?" I asked, remembering Omega X and Whale's surprise attacks.

"Yes, and I know that you're worried about Blue Squirrel and Big Fish, and that can be arranged." He waved his hand, and an image of Omega X and Whale at the park appeared beside him in a sort of hologram. They were running around, screaming and searching for me. Omega X seemed frustrated, yelling in rage and burning trees to try and see if I was hiding in one of them. Whale was swimming and diving in the lake, frantically searching.

"How are they going to-" I started to say, but I was cut off as Bill snapped his fingers and I saw Omega X and Whale disappear in a flash of light. "Wait... what did you do to them!?" I gasped.

"Sent them back to their respectful domains, AKA their houses.  We don't have time for a crowd to watch us.  Now let's get going." He snapped again, and we were instantly teleported back to the park.

"What do we have to do now?" I asked, getting up and dusting myself off.

"Well, I have to apparently recite some kind of phrase thing... but first..."

"Lemme take a selfie." If he had two eyes and a mouth, he'd most likely have made a troll face right then. I growled, "No."

"I know, I know, I'm just pickin' with ya.  Alright, so first, you have to go back into your little form I gave you."

I sighed and transformed back into my Cipher Form, instantly rose into the air, and looked at him. "Now what?"

"Scoot back a bit." I did. "Good.  Now you have to hold your right hand out." I did that too. "And now I have to do this..." His own right hand caught on fire, and he reached towards my outstretched hand.

I instinctively pulled it back. "WHOA, wait, WHOAAAAA!  What's going on?"

Bill sighed aggravatedly, and said to me, "I have to hold your hand with my own hand, the one that's one fire, while saying the phrase thing, and then the Guardian mark for dreams will appear on your hand.  Don't worry, it won't hurt.  We can't feel pain, remember?"

I did. So I put my hand back out. Bill grasped my hand with his, and I stared uncomfortably at the fire that was now catching onto my own hand.

"I, Bill Cipher..." Bill started to say, trying to keep his grip on my hand. "...hoc electi Fluttergon Petalouda Drakos..." I couldn't tell what he was saying, it seemed to be some kind of foreign language or some kind of chant. "Elementum somnium novum episcopum!"  Instantly a small flicker of light illuminated my hand, and Bill released. I looked at my palm and tried not to stare at the light as it seemed to carve a symbol in my palm. The light soon faded, and in its place was a symbol that looked like a heart with wings.

OUTSIDE

The symbol:

OUTSIDE ENDS

I stared at the symbol, amazed by what just happened. After about two minutes, Bill said, "Welp, that's done, I'm outta here.  Good luck on whatever it is you gotta do.  See ya!" He disappeared in a quick flash of light, and the whispers from before filled my mind again.

I woke up in a bed that had Spiderman sheets and posters on the ceiling. I sat up and groaned, then looked at my right... paw. The symbol was there, shining dark blue and purple. I flopped back down and stared at the posters on the ceiling.

Suddenly I heard a door creak open, and I looked over. Omega X was tiptoeing into this bedroom, holding something that looked like a glass of water. "F-Gon?" he whispered, coming to the bed. "You okay?  You were laying on the ground in the park.  You were unconscious.  Whale had some business to attend to, so I just brought you here." He set the glass of water on a bedside table.

"Yeah, I'm- I'm fine..." I hid my paw under the sheets, making sure he didn't see the symbol. He looked at me suspiciously, then said, "Okay, stay here for a bit, then you can leave whenever you feel okay." He slowly walked out of the room and quietly shut the door behind him.

I took the glass of water and sipped it slowly, rolling over and pulling the sheets over my head. I sighed heavily.

This looked like it was going to be a tough job. Fire Spider II

I noticed her sighing. She was worried about something. I still wondered about something. I'd noticed a symbol on her right hand. I don't have to be Albert Einstein to know it's a Guardian Symbol. But there was something... odd about it. Natural Guardians normally get their symbol on their forehead. Even if she's a triangle...

OUTSIDE

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that you transformed into Cipher Form to become a Guardian.

OUTSIDE ENDS

...she should have it in her forehead. Or the part where her forehead should be. I think she could've become an Artificial Guardian.

OUTSIDE

Everyone can become a Guardian, but only the chosen ones are Natural Guardians, and they're known for being chosen by the Mysterious Voice, having their HQ at the Forest (the Park in the first RP) and having their symbols on their foreheads. Artificial Guardians are Guardians chosen by respective people to become an element's Guardian with or without (although normally it's with, but in this case it was without) the Mysterious Voice's knowledge. They have their HQ anywhere and they can have their symbol anywhere, although for some reasons it can't be on the forehead, supposedly to not be confused with Natural Guardians. In terms of power, they're specifically the same. And also, both types of Guardians, Natural and Artificial, are respected the same.

OUTSIDE ENDS

I decided to ask her if she knew me, because she seemed to know me.

"Ehem, excuse me, F-Gon... do you know me?" I asked.

"Of course! You're Omega X the Hedgehog, the Fire Guardian!" She replied, happily.

"I'm afraid you're wrong. I'm Omega X III the Hedgehog, the grandson of Omega X the Hedgehog." I said.

She was confused and she asked me where my grandfather was. I guided her to the Cementery.

"Here he is." I said, pointing to his grave.

F-Gon seemed to crumble. Figuratively, that is. She seemed to depress, and she asked me about how it happened.

OUTSIDE

This might happen 100 years after the 84th Batch of Natural Guardians was founded, but Omega X the Hedgehog died 10 years ago.

OUTSIDE ENDS

"10 years ago, when I was 4 years old, the Chaotic Spirits started a massive invasion on Earth. The Natural and Artificial Guardians allied to stop it. They fought bravely until only two remained: Omega X, the Guardian of Fire as well as my grandfather, and Artemis, the Guardian of Nature. They fought bravely against the Chaotic Spirits Leader, but when Artemis sacrificed to save gramps from a certain death, he unleashed his powers to burn the Chaotic Spirits Leader. What gramps didn't know is that the Chaotic Spirits Leader had a sidekick that fought against him and finally killed him. My dad hurried to the scene and saw gramps dying. He asked dad to become something, but I don't know what he was supposed to become." I explained.

"No..." She said, as a tear started to drop down from her eye.

"My dad then left us after that and disappeared. I guess he was depressed by his father's death." I said.

"..." F-Gon was speechless.

"I guess we should return. I don't like being here." I suggested.

"Can you take me home, please? I feel too depressed to fly." She said, as she gave me a paper with her house's location.

I used my fire powers to create a Flame Tunnel with which to transport us to her home. She thanked me with a fading smile and I left, swinging through the buildings. I then thought of something. Where was dad now? What was he doing? That's something I'll probably never know.

Omega X III's father

I was in a dark room with other 84 people. All of them were old, except for me. I'm Omega X II the Hedgehog, by the way. I'm 45 years old and I have a son, Omega X III the Hedgehog.

"Is everything complete?" I was asked.

"Yes, a new batch of Guardians was chosen." I replied.

"Quite odd that your own son is in it. Family legacy perhaps?" I was asked again.

"Dad would've wanted his grandson -and my son- to become a Guardian. I won't fail him again." I replied.

"Alright. But does any of them suspect anything?" I was asked again.

"I don't think so. But they're smart, and they'll someday figure it out." I replied again.

"Soon, very soon, history will repeat itself for 85th time. But it was altered the 84th time. We cannot let an external element ruin the Final Battle again. The Guardians will fight the Chaotic Spirits sooner or later, and no one will alter that. But first, they'll have to discover our secret..." I said.
