What the fuck are the originals? WELL back before the multiverse was a thing, there was one timeline, impossible to change, and only inhabiting a few people who ruled over the land. Only a few of these goons have names, whoopsies. These people were the wealders of the chronos branches. The 5 creation wielders, Cros, David, Time Queen, and two others who did have names but i forgor (based of gamejolt developers). the destruction weilder, the many elemental emotion weilders Anger fire, sad water, etc. The mind Weilder, the life weilder, the darkness weilder, and who I refer to as bartender, the null weilder, he had the power to negate other chronos abilities, as such he was the one who kept the others in check. For centuries they would live happily with no conflict, no tragedy, think garden of eden type shit. However one day, the wielder of life became terminally ill, eventually succuming to the illness and dying, much to the dismay of the rest of the wielders.

While most of the wilders were filled with grief, the darkness weilder was filled with fear. For centuries the idea of death wasn't even a concept, but now it had entered their work and darkness was terrified of it. Driven by this fear he worked with the creation wielders to try and make something which could prevent death in the others. They weren't able to come up with anything to solve this problem but darkness was able to discover a new way of using his ability.

Darkness had found the power to absorb anything, including the powers of the other wielders. One by one, he would go around, absorbing a portion of the wielder's powers, in hopes of being able to develop something to prevent death. Eventually he was faced with bartender. Unwilling to give up his new power he unleashed it all at bartender with a punch, who also used his null power in a punch. As the two collided, powers of every wielder in the world were negated and regenerated at the same time, causing cracks in the fabric of reality

The power of all the wielders being negated and regenerated, along with darkness's power trying to absorb null and failing, caused the multiverse and the void around it to be created. The powers of creation and elements created space and matter, the powers of mind, life and darkness created sentient beings. One by one, the originals were sent into this new multiverse as their world was torn apart. Eventually only bartender and darkness remained. Once again filled with fear, darkness tried using his power to escape the multiverse, but the void which encapsulated it dragged him in, full of a distorted mix of darkness, destruction and null, the void pulled him apart, negating his powers and disintegrating him.

Bartender too fell into the multiverse. All originals except for the creator wielders and darkness were sent into timelines, safe from the void. Through the creation of the infinitely expanding multiverse, a new power was created, time chronos, the power to control the timelines and possibly the void outside too. This was all gonna be a prequel of sorts to out of time, and have elements for a sequl like meeting the other originals and stuff but i decided not to do it so now im spewing it out here before i forget
