"Hmm, you're not the one I'm looking for." The mysterious figure said, twirling a golden pendulum around his finger. "Interesting outfits you have there, though."

"Dude, it's eight at night, you could be a little less creepy; you scared the crap out of us..." The Zangoose stated, letting out a sigh. "Thanks though. We're-"

"Ben and Tabi." The figure finished.

The Zangoose and dragon looked at each other, dumbfounded.

"Yeah, I know of them." The figure stated, with a smile. "Gotta say, you two do fit the bill. Interesting touch with wings and halo, not many people dress the angel way, let alone the Christmas attire."

The figure was about to continue, but something was amiss. The Dragon was eying him, clearly showing distrust; not that he could blame him, seeing how he wasn't exactly around to make friends.

Something was definitely amiss about him...

"...ay ...way monst-"

It was faint, but it was there.

Behind the Dragon and the Zangoose was a much larger dragon, almost monstrous, and surprisingly, was dressed as another version of Tabi, a much powerful one.

Looking back at the dragon with the knife, the figure could tell that said dragon must have difficultly trusting others. The spirit dragon somewhat resembled him, but with more malice and murderous intent.

"Well..." The dragon Tabi finally said. "We're kinda busy. We need to get going, we have people expecting us."

The figure smiled and nodded.

"Of course. I too am waiting for someone. Apologies for startling you. Have a good time at the party."

Oops, it wasn't often he would let something like that slip, but perhaps it was for the best.

The duo began walking away, the dragon almost dragging the Zangoose away as fast he could. The spirit dragon following them, but continuing to eye him as they eventually faded from sight.

The figure chucked, twirling his pendulum as he stood under the streetlight.

"Worlds merging can be a funny thing sometimes." He muttered, watching as the world around him began to shudder and shift once more, eventually back to the one he was in previously. "Was not expecting to see a Zangoose in a world without Pokemon. He didn't recognize me; perhaps he doesn't even know what he is either. And that dragon..."

He pulled out a locket, one exactly like the ones the duo were wearing.

He peered into the mind of the dragon Tabi for a mere second and saw sights that even he would classify as horrifying.

"Well, it seems that there are monsters even worse than I out there; no wonder that other half of him wants to murder everyone..."

Opening the locket, an image of Ben and Tabi, the real ones, stared back at him.

"Heh, but I'll only be a monster for a bit longer. I'm so close to regaining my humanity; all I need to do is get rid of one more powerful being, and it seems I'll be getting a cute little angel in the process~"

The sound of footsteps alerted him, as well as someone calling out.

"Ben!" The voice called out. "Ben!"

He chuckled, closing the locket.

Yeah, I wanted to get a picture of Aladar and Delga dressed and BF and Tabi from Friday Night Funkin' because they're my otp.
And who is the Spirit Dragon behind them? Well, given their appearance, I'm sure you might have some idea, but more on them later.

Also, back to Ben and Tabi, I also got this pic because I like to imagine that they have their (mis)adventures, and VIP Tabi is like a guardian spirit of theirs that tends to step in unnoticed if things get a bit out of hand for them.

Also if you haven't figured it out by now, this guy is the mysterious figure: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48574583/
And if you didn't know, I at least assumed you guessed it was a Hypno.
