Council Chronicle: Akaza’s Induction
Scene:
Smoke hangs heavy. The chamber lit only by firelight and the laughter of monsters.
Boris then takes a long pull on his cigar, eyes glinting in the glow. He nods at Jerry.
🦝 Jerry stands up in his Dept. of Petty Affairs robe, puffing out his raccoon chest like he’s about to announce a title fight. He taps the floor with a cane that wasn’t there a second ago.
Jerry 'The Ankle Biter' Silverhand (announces):
“Council, rise. A new furnace steps through the door. Not one born of comfort, not one bought by titles—one forged in betrayal, and still unbroken. Akaza stands ready.”
Jerry in his Dept. of Petty Affairs robe bangs the cane, calling the Council to rise. One by one, voices ring—Luca’s snarl, Xellos’ smirk, Silco’s rasp, Omni-Jeff’s granite. Each weighs Akaza, not as victim, but as proof. Betrayal didn’t erase him—it tempered him.
Luca Blight (snarling, sword half-drawn):
“Strength through loss… I recognize that fire. He’s no pretender. He bleeds real.”
Xellos (eyes shut, grin sharp):
“Oooh, contradictions galore. Tragedy and loyalty dancing in the same flame? Delicious. Welcome to the paradox, Akaza.”
Silco (calm, lighting his own cigarette):
“Loss breeds clarity. You’ll fit. Just don’t mistake pain for a leash—it can bind as easily as it frees.”
Keyaru (voice low, venomous):
“He was broken, then reforged. I can work with that. Rage is a fine tool when aimed right.”
Delita (measured, cold):
“Betrayal made you, as it made me. I trust you understand that love and loyalty cut deepest when stolen.”
Omni-Jeff (arms crossed, granite voice):
“You didn’t flinch. You burned hotter. That makes you worthy. The Furnace recognizes one of its own.”
Loona (scoffs, leaning back):
“Tragic backstory, demon muscles, loyalty kink… yeah, he’s hot enough for the roster. Just don’t brood too much, or I’ll claw you myself.”
Jinx (snapping gum, giggling):
“Ooooh, another walking trauma firecracker! Can we blow him up? No? Fine, but he better know how to dance when the chaos starts.”
Lord Dominator (sarcastic, sparks on her gauntlet):
“You survived poison and heartbreak? Cute. Let’s see if you can survive me.”
Vaas (laughs, eyes wild):
“Madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting shit to change. But you? You changed. You flipped it. I like that. Stay crazy, hermano.”
Pagan Min (polished, sipping tea):
“Oh, how tragic. Oh, how poetic. Betrayal, love lost, power gained. Darling, you’re practically one of us already.”
Suguru Geto (soft, almost silent):
“Grief chose you. You chose strength. That alone earns a chair.”
Muruko (short, sharp):
“Fire’s fire. It burns or it builds. You burn the right things, you stay.”
Kool-Aid Panda (grinning, claws folded):
“Endurance with flavor. I can vibe with that. Don’t spill the juice, demon-boy.”
Panda (calm, deep):
“You fought for family. That’s enough for me.”
Razor Ramon (toothpick dangling, smirk wide):
“Chico… you got style. Pain made you sharp, but not bitter. That’s the glitch, ese.”
Junko (spins, laughing):
“Despair, betrayal, tragedy—yes, yes, YES! You’re perfect! Welcome to the despair party!”
Jerry (Ankle Biter):
“You see it, Boss. They’re circling, they’re hungry, but they accept him.”
The Clown (cackling, doubling over):
“HA! Another furnace for the fire! More fuel! More laughter! Watch the Major burn in his own parade!”
Commander Rourke (voice clipped, military):
“He’s a soldier who didn’t die when the war did. He’ll do.”
Helga Sinclair (icy, efficient):
“Strong. Loyal. Efficient. Keep him on mission and he’s an asset.”
Tingle (creepy giggle):
“Tiiiingle likes a fighter with scars! Yessss, yes, bleed into the Council’s colors!”
Cesare Borgia (grim, calculating):
“Betrayal forged you. Power justifies you. You are welcome.”
Knightfall (Jason Todd) (gruff, smoking):
“You died once and came back meaner. Respect. Don’t waste it.”
Vegeta (snorts, arms crossed):
“Hmph. At least you’re no weakling. Just don’t embarrass me.”
Dawn Bellwether (The Velvet Guillotine) (adjusts glasses, tone sweet but sharp):
“A victim who became a weapon? Oh, you’ll fit right in… so long as you remember who’s really pulling the strings.”
L (Lawliet) (flat, analytical):
“Motivations born of grief. Sustained by loyalty. Calculated acceptance.”
nibbles sugar cube
“Yes, he belongs.”
Killua (grinning, sparks on his hands):
“Another broken toy turned weapon? He’s family already. Let’s play.”
Adam Smasher (voice metallic, booming):
“Good. Another body that refuses to die. Strong enough to crush, smart enough to endure.”
Zakharov — The Digital Whisper (voice like static):
“Patterns confirm. Tragedy input. Loyalty output. Glitch successful.”
The Joker (licks lips, cackles):
“Ohhh, I love him already! Betrayed, poisoned, reborn—sounds like a punchline I’d write in blood! Welcome to the circus, fire-boy!”
Dio Brando (The Hater Prime) (voice smooth, venomous):
“Another who was spat on by fate… and spat back harder. Yes. I approve. Hating your chains until you melt them—that’s real hate. That’s divine.”
Jerry raises the cane, bangs it once on the ground. “Council vote tallied. Akaza—The Furnace Unbroken—is hereby inducted into the Glitch Council.”
🔥 Boris exhales cigar smoke.
The fire doesn’t flicker.
It deepens.
🦝 Logged, Boss. Mark it down clean:
The verdict is unanimous.
Akaza, The Furnace Unbroken, takes his chair at the table of glitches.
His seat isn’t cushioned—it’s burning iron, never cooling, always reminding him what forged him.
- The Clown cackles.
- The Joker claps with blood on his gloves.
- Dio inclines his head, amused.
- Omni-Jeff gives the slow nod of approval that splits universes.
Jerry bangs the cane once again:
“Council vote tallied. Akaza is one of us. His fire fuels the glitch eternal.”
Boris smirks through cigar smoke and says:
“The Long Walk may have been the worst piece of shit I ever sat through—but at least it handed me a Furnace worth keeping.”
🔥 Logged permanent.
- Council now stands 33 strong.
