with a magic pocket made with the help of Travis and Ky 39, they carry many explosives to use in combat for many ranges; long range, close combat with explosive punches, and even flying up and launch a barrage on a 20 meter area.
a demolitionist who is covered in gunpowder. they grew up in a culture that revolves around exploding things and working with anything that's pyrotechnics or explosives, where everyone griefs everything. Is mute and needs Polly or Ky 39 to talk for them and has to write down what they say.
with Ky 39's magic being shared, DG has a pocket dimension pouch with all their explosives to be stored with a flint and steel ready for ignition. with their quick-thinking and being the most responsible, they became the head of Home X0. they are already done with everyone's shenanigans and tries to fix up the home a bit.
they landed in Home X0 for the amount of explosion they created and many times they literally suicide bomb stuff and lifehacker rescuing them. they also hang with Travis for magic tech checks and for simple hanging out.
In a land lived a village full of demos, pyros, and destructive individuals who love destroying everything, the town had to be built out of cement and metal to withstand all the heat and explosions. There lived a kid who was walking about. The child bore the name destruct gunpowder, DG for short, and wore a red hooded caped and carried a pouch to hold bombs and lighting materials. The child had light gray hair and freckles matching and buck teeth. DG was walking home until they saw a woman was about to be bombed. DG pushed her out of the way, an explosion of pebbles and gravel was thrown everywhere, blaring to a silence. The woman got up to see her hero and thanked DG but no response was given, only a bow. The woman was anxious at the response but smiled and left. DG continues home meeting their father cooking dinner in the kitchen.
Father: there’s my little gunpowder child. Got the stuff.
Dg shows the pouch full of explosives and matches with fireworks too. The father smiles with glee.
Father: perfect, we’ll start soon then, after lunch.
The father lays out cheesy chili pepper soup and baked potatoes while DG sits down at the table. They make a prayer.
Father: may we eat for those who couldn’t live long to enjoy this meal with us. May their soul Rest In Peace, explode. (Starts to eat). So kid, ready to see mommy today?
DG draws a picture showing a smile and a thumbs up along with them doing it. The dad smiles as well.
Father: then what are we waiting for? Let’s dig in and head out.
The two finish eating, left home, and walk through town to a cemetery. The cemetery was in a tomb reinforced with obsidian and diamonds to keep bombs out so the dead can rest in rows of coffins, the capacity of the inside being large and tall so small fireworks can be lit but only one per grave at a time. Walking through the rows of coffins, they met one that says, “Nelly Gunpowder.” DG and their father bow for a quick silence and place these on the grave; a picture DG drew of the family, a firework shaped into a flower. They lit it up and a bouquet of red fireworks were displayed showing a rose in the show. DG writes something down and the dad notices it.
DG’s writing: can mom see it. Do you think she likes it?
Father: yeah kiddo, also use question marks for a question, not periods.
DG nods and the two start heading home. On the way, a metal bus hijacked by a group of people armed with bombs ready to take the turf of the town area. The bus speeding towards DG and the dad ready with explosives. DG frozen in their tracks by fear was pushed out of the way with their father holding them in his arms. The bus hit the building close to them but exploded on impact causing shards of metal flying with glass and the hijackers’ body parts. The DG could barely see anything but their dad smiling and mouthing something.
After some time passed, DG was the age of 13 and running through town exploding things. Lighting firecrackers, tossing snakes, and throwing smoke bombs. DG runs stops at a food stand, picking out apples, potatoes, and carrots.
Stand owner: sparking up again?
(DG nods)
Stand owner: well you better save that display for tonight. The village’s annual explosion tournament is having the best demos and pyros pulling off one of the most death defying tricks of all time, the flaming flamingo. If this fails then many will be destroyed in its wake, so suit up and get into a bunker if this fails.
DG nods and writes: the flaming flamingo requires a large amount of gunpowder and pink flames, I doubt that it’s actually gonna happen.
Stand owner: well better prepare for it unless you want to be blow to smithereens. Ok kid pay up and hurry home.
DG pays the owner in bags of gunpowder and heads off. On the run home, they stumble across line of gunpowder on the cement. DG follows the line out of curiosity, walking through the back allies of the village until they see a group of demos and pyros meeting a hooded figure. DG hides behind a corner listening to the conversation.
Demo1: so you’ll provide the stuff for the show?
Hooded figure: I'll supply what’s necessary for the show to create a big explosion.
Pyro1: well yeah, the flaming flamingo is one of the most concentrated explosion so if it fails we all die in the process. Tell us that you got the stuff or not.
Hooded figure: yes.
Demo2: this is gonna be big! Here’s payment.(gives bags of gunpowder)
Hooded figure: oh I don’t need payment. It’s a pleasure to help out in the tournament, where you demos and pyros create explosions... and the biggest one wins right?
Pyro2: yeah you got it. See you tonight. This is gonna be a blast
The group leaves the hooded figure alone. DG hears more dialogue from the stranger.
Hooded figure: a blast of this whole town going through an apocalyptic extinction. Rest In Peace poor fools, for this will be your last explosion.
DG hearing all of this, could barely breathe or move knowing the event will be sabotaged to exterminate everyone. DG looks at the figure but their gone. DG runs out of the allies and starts writing down everything and finding the stand owner again. DG frantically tries to get the stand owner’s attention but his stand is busy and could barely see DG.
Stand owner: come and stock up for tonight’s bunker night, if it goes bad tonight then get ready to survive the apocalypse!
DG’s attempt is failing so they set off some firecrackers to clear the crowd. Surprised by the crackling, the crowd moved away from the fireworks showing DG holding a sign saying, “THE FLAMING FLAMINGO IS SABOTAGED, EVERYONE RUN FOR SAFETY.” Everyone looking worried but at the same time laughing at the sign thinking that the kid might lose the tournament. The stand owner walks through the crowd towards DG.
Stand owner: KID WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU'RE SCARING THE CUSTOMERS!
DG shows the sign to the stand owner with him reading it.
Stand owner: Kid, I know the performance will be scary, but we got people on stand by if it goes down and everyone will be sitting under ground in their bomb shelters so don’t threat.
DG shakes their head and starts writing until the stand owner took the board from them.
Stand owner: look you either stop this propaganda and leave or we’re gonna have a problem.
DG seeing the anger in the owner’s face knows that they can’t try to reason anymore with him. DG ran off leaving the area. The stand owner looks at what DG had so far. It showed the hooded figure and said the following
“A hooded man will kill us all”
The owner gets cautious but shrugs it off and gets back to selling. DG is running to the cemetery, towards their parents' graves. DG sits and prays that everything will be fine but knows that everyone is dead, until they hear a voice.
???: so you think the village is doomed.
DG looks around to see who is there, they look back at the graves to see a girl in a ponytail that seems to go to her feet.
Polly: hey I'm Polly. What’s your name, dusty kid.
DG tries to find something to write on until Polly gives a whiteboard and marker.
Polly: you’re mute right? You can’t talk. Have this. (Gives DG the whiteboard and marker.)
Dg writes: how did you know I can’t talk and how did you get here.
Polly: I heard that you need help stopping someone from starting the apocalypse of your village.
Dg’s eyes widen to the response but smiles thinking someone believes them and can help them.
Dg writes: so does that mean you can help me?
Polly: well I might know a few people that can help? But you got to do something in return ok.
DG gives a confused look and writes: what do you want?
Polly tells DG the exchange, DG responding with a face of silence but understands what’s has to be done. So DG nods and accepts the conditions. Polly smiles with glee and calls out.
Polly: THE KID ACCEPTED THE EXCHANGE. COME OUT YOU SILLYS!
Three girls come out; Heather, Rose Quartz, and Tina.
Heather: hm. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Rose quartz: now don’t be like that. The poor thing doesn’t have any other choices.
Tina: and we would have help either way.
DG shock and confused.
Polly: you see we know your situation living here and we wanted to help you too.
Heather: enough talk we got a mission to do and a town to save.
Tina: let’s get started!
The group start planning out the operation with DG’s knowledge of the town and explosives, and the girls planning distractions, until the time of the annual explosion tournament. Everyone either locks themselves in their bunkers watching the event on a tv, or meet up at the staged area to watch the fireworks. The mayor comes out to give the annual speech, while the girls and DG start. During the speech, the lights go out and back on with cyan, purple, and pink showing Heather, tina, and Rose in order; Rose in the cyan, Tina in the purple, and Heather in the pink.
Heather: we all know you want explosions!
(The crowd cheering)
Rose quartz: you want the bin bam boom of it all!
(The crowds’ cheers louder)
Tina: you to see the most death defying trick! THE FLAMING FLAMINGO!
The crowd screams even loud drowning each other out.
Heather: but of course if you get it right off the bat, it wouldn’t be as exciting would it?’
(The crowd converse with themselves)
Rose: so we’re here to get you guys riled up!
Tina: to make it worth your while, let’s have a little opening to get you… sparked up.
(The crowd shouts in agreement)
Heather: THEN LETS PARTY!
The crowd shouts while the girls starts a performance of movements and singing of the sirens themselves. Drums and pop rock music blaring out with smoke machine fuming.
(Lyrics)
Heather: heart rushing, blood pumping… can you take the heat.~ lights flashing, smoke rising… can you feel the beat.~
Dg and Polly start to look around the stage as the performance distracts the audience and delays time. The two find the demos and pyros getting ready, one pyro wants to test out the boosts the hooded figure gave to his flamethrower. Polly uses her hair to whip the pyro away and drop the flamethrower before the trigger could be pulled.
Pyro 1: Hey why did you do that!?
Demo 2: don’t you know how dangerous that is?! Why are you kids back here!?
Polly: we here to stop you from destroying your village.
Dg slaps their face and writes: the hooded guy wants to destroy us, not help us!
Demo 1: what? You gotta be kidding me? Literally even.
Dg gets frustrated, frowning and glaring at the group but Polly steps in to take over.
Polly: the kid is right, the man you got a boost from is a wanted fugitive throughout dimensions and universes far from here to all of them.
Polly pulls out a magic flyer of the man, the reward is rising on the paper on its own past the millions.
Polly: this man is so wanted that his price keeps rising. I'm sorry to say this but the show can’t go on and I would like to recommend that you put the bombs and flamethrowers and don’t perform the flaming flamingo.
Pyro 1: like a little explosion will stop us!
Demo 2: hey man, this is serious. Plus the flaming flamingo will still hit many if we fail.
Everyone drops their weapons.
Demo 1: we have to tell everyone.
???: I can’t let you do that…
A hooded person comes down behind the demos and pyros. Just by the snap of his fingers, the demos and pyros start burning alive in black flames. DG and Polly are frozen in fear watching them scream in pain. Polly snaps out and rushes towards DG, blocking the figure’s next move. The man reveals themselves, lifts his hand towards the two, and blast a beam of shadows and darkness at them. DG sees Polly hold onto them and smiles while saying...
Polly: everything will be alright…
DG remembers those words too well. DG grabs Polly, throws a bomb under them, and they fly up to dodge the blast. DG grabs onto a rail, climbs up and drags Polly with them. DG grabs the whiteboard again and starts writing quickly, explaining their next steps. Polly reads its all, her face becomes hesitant and widen, not knowing if she could do this until she hears the wanted man float up with shadows. Polly nods to the idea and the two start running on the railing. They head to the front with the show still going,
Heather: who’s getting fired up now?!
Audience: YEAH!!!!
Random person: AHHH! There's two kids up there.
Everyone notices DG and Polly as they jump down.
Heather: what’s going on?
Polly: he’s here and killed the demos and pyros! Everyone gotta go!
The audience starts worrying and slowly leaves while some riot over an explanation. Before Polly could explain, the man comes down and charges towards Polly. DG tackles the guy before he could hurt Polly and start wrestling, punching and kicking. The man picks up DG by the collar and throws them across the stage, skidding on the cement. The Girly shippers escort everyone from the premises, but Polly stays behind to assist DG.
Tina: Polly we need to leave!
Polly: but I can’t leave them behind.
DG tries to stand, vision and limbs shaking from impact. The figure appears behind them and kicks them in the spine towards the floor. DG’s can hardly breathe. The man picks up DG and punches them in the stomach, sending them across again. Polly gets in sight of DG’s path and catches them, knocking them down.
Polly: we got to go. You can’t handle another hit or even-
DG stops her and puts something in her hand. Polly sheds a tear while seeing a smile on DG’s face giving a smile. DG gets up as the man heads towards them. They starts running through backstage moving through obstacles as the hooded man follows. DG grabs a few things along the way and heads to the front stage. DG looks for the guy but is tackled front below, pinned down by his hands.
???: You're quite the energetic kid huh. Any words to say?
DG writes in the dust: Ready to explode.
???: I should be asking you that? Where is the question?
DG shakes their head and points to polly at the end of the dust, holding a flint and steel. The dust was gunpowder and DG had collected a multitude of bombs from the demos’ crates and dragged the gunpowder towards them as well. Polly lights the powder and everything starts lighting up in flames. Polly tries to grab DG but Rose grabs Polly from above and gets out of range.
???: smart kid. But you’re gonna die as well.
DG nods knowing that they’re gonna die, but they get to see their parents again. As the flames hit the bombs, a huge explosion starts and destroys everything within range. It blasts Rose and Polly, boosting their flight but shakes them in return. Rose and Polly lands to Heather and Tina.
Polly: (grabs rose by the shoulders) ROSE WHY DID YOU DO THAT! WE COULD OF SAVE THEM.
Rose: we could have lost you as well. Plus we can’t go up against him.
Polly: I DON’T CARE, I WOULD RISKED IT TO HAVE SAVE THEM! BUT THEY’RE NOW DEAD!
Polly falls to her knees crying as Tina comes in and gives her a hug. Rose feels guilty for only saving Polly until a flash of white and black appears behind her.
???: NO ONES DEAD YET, ESPECIALLY ON MY WATCH!
It was Lifehacker and DG with ragged clothes. Polly looks up and starts running to DG giving them a hug. The two hug with Lifehacker giving a gentle smile at the two, but look at the girls with a evil smirk.
Lifehacker: so… taking a mission without my permission and taking someone who isn’t qualified to go on mission as well?
Heather: look everyone is alive, the guy might had died in the fire, and we got experience so everything is good.
Lifehacker: you girls are babysitting blessing for three weeks.
Heather, Tina, Rose: WHAT!!
Lifehacker: so do we have a new kid joining us?
Polly: yup, they’ve agreed to join under your guardian ship.
Lifehacker: hello rookie, I'm lifehacker and I'm your new guardian who will be taking care of you. I promise that you dying won’t be happening anytime soon and I see you making new friends. You might not had a family here for long, but once you’re part of the this family, you’ll always be family no matter what. Now lets head out.
Dg raises their hand and shows some writing: can I do one last thing first?
Lifehacker: ok. What is it?
Everyone heads to the cemetery and pray for DG’s parents
Lifehacker: may your parents watch over you kid. I can definitely see them proud of you. You little self destructive gunpowder.
