'Monster' by SoundOfTheAviators and Omnipony wrote:It feels like I fell asleep
And woke up in a nightmare.
Fallen into a world of chaos;
You're the reason that I'm here.
When you're the only one I've dreamed of,
You turned me away,
Turning me into the monster I am today.
I abandoned order when you broke my heart that day,
It then occurred to me: chaos is the only way.
When all you thought of me is a beast that can't be tamed,
The monster that you saw me for is the monster I became.
I am not the same,
Because of what you did to me,
Now I'll show you
That I've become what you thought me to be.
If I can't have you then
I'll throw the world away,
Only you are to blame
For turning me into the monster I am today...

Why Is He Agitated?He has been agitated for years due to his traumatic past. He honestly doesn't even think of himself as grumpy or agitated anymore, since he's been stuck in the rut of hatred for so long that it's become common to him. He thinks cheerful beings are weird, and honestly hates it when others try to get him to be happy.
Short Story:(NOTE: This story may not be for the faint-hearted, as it is violent, at times.)
He opened his eyes. He had been born a week ago, and had finally gotten to the age where he could see. Upon opening two of his eyes, the sight that met his eyes was sweet: his mother. She smiled down at him, wrapping her metallic tail around his tiny body. She was completely grey, just a bit of blood-colored spots on her paws and tail-tip. The spark looked up at her and smiled, his third eye threatening to open. She gently placed a paw over it, saying, "You can't open that, Lore."
He obeyed, keeping it closed. Glancing around, he wondered why they were alone. "Where are my siblings, Mama?"
She was about to answer when her head jerked up. "Oh no," she whispered, standing and swiveling her ears around, peering into the darkness that surrounded her. She roughly picked up her kit, turned, and raced away. She ran as fast as she could, panting shallow breaths as she leapt over abandoned trash cans and garbage bags, skirting through alleys to find a safe place to hide her only remaining kit.
They already stole my other three, she thought, quickly glancing down at the wailing kit hanging from her jaws,
and I won't let them get this one. I'd rather die than see that happen. Suddenly, she skidded to a halt, finding an upturned cardboard box behind three trash bags. She gently placed the spark inside the old, dirty box, and licked his head. She looked at him with only love in her eyes, reflected back at her in her son's eyes. "Lore, I want you to stay put, okay? Don't move, no matter what happens."
"Okay, Mama." He nodded, his red eyes sparkling in the night as he watched her race off.
Footsteps soon followed. He looked up as three humans dashed past him, yelling at one another. One had a gun, one a net, and another a jagged knife.
A couple minutes after they'd past him, his mother turned around and raced back to the box. She skidded to a halt when she came fact to face with fourth man that the humans had left behind. He smiled, and his gold tooth glinted in the moonlight. "Well, well, well...looks like we've got the mother." He lunged at her, knocking her to the ground and pinning her there. He drew out a jagged knife, and plunged it into the mother's throat. Blood slowly oozed out of the long wound, and her eyes glazed over.
Lore screamed in fright.
After the men had left, Lore climbed out of the box, sobbing as he slowly walked over to what was left of his mother. They'd taken all of her metallic and electronic parts, leaving just the cat parts behind. He sobbed as he curled up next to her, whispering, "I'll get them back for this, Mama. I swear I will."
Five years later, Lore looked more like a Hazard Cat - metal on his tail hardened and shiny from being in the radioactive waste for a longer period of time. His grate puffed out black steam - though it looked more like smoke to the average person - and the front grate glowed red, just like his eyes. The years of being alone hardened him into a cruel and impatient being.
A kit suddenly stumbled into his leg. He glared at the spark, hissing as he batted it away. "Get out of here!"
Its tears welled up as it stared at the older Hazard Cat. "Why are you so mean?" it squeaked.
"Get lost!" he snapped, baring his teeth.
It cried and turned as it ran back to its mother.
"And stay away!" he hissed after it, turning and walking in the opposite direction. He sighed, looking at the only home he'd ever known: alleyways and dark shadows. "It's time to move on," he said. "Too many Hazard Cats 'round these parts."
As he trotted down the darkest alley, he felt calm and peaceful, which was odd for him. He rarely felt relaxed, let alone calm. Always on edge, he never felt happy or peaceful. Why did he feel such things now, then?
Out of the shadows stepped a man, a knife in his hand.
"Ah," murmured Lore, "I understand, now. I'm calm for I know what to do." Straightening up, he glared at the man. "You're the one who killed my mother, aren't you?"
He laughed, his breath reeking of alcohol. "What do ya think, ya idiot?"
"If the shoe fits, you wear it," hissed the Hazard Cat as he circled the man, getting closer and closer with every step he took. "I promised my mother that I'd kill you and your men. You're going to bring me one step closer to fulfilling my promise."
He snarled, swiping his claws at the man's throat.
The knife he'd taken from the dead man had been slung over his back and hung at his side, swinging with every step he took. "One poacher down, three to go," he murmured, going in the direction the man had told him of before he'd killed him.
After three days of walking, he came upon a different town of Hazard Cats, most of them light-colored. He narrowed his eyes, feeling the happy vibes rising from the city. "Great," he said sarcastically, "Can't wait to socialize." He rolled his eyes, trotting into the town with every intention of getting out quickly.
He ran straight into a female. Untangling himself from her, he hissed. "Get out of my way!"
She narrowed her eyes, flicking her tail into his face indignantly. "Why don't you watch where you're going, stupid-head?"
His claws unsheathed. "Follow my directions or you'll get hurt. Now, scram!"
"Pocket-full of sunshine, aren't you?" she hissed back, skirting him quickly.
He snarled as he trotted past her, feeling hot anger boil up from inside him. The next cat to touch him or ask him something wouldn't be a happy one, when he was done with it.
A young cat - not quite a spark, but not an adult yet - trotted up next to Lore and stayed in step with him.
Lore snapped at the young cat, making it screech as it tore off in the opposite direction. "Be glad I didn't actually sink my teeth into your flesh!" he snarled, watching the cat get consoled by its mother.
He rolled his eyes as he trotted out of the city, not giving one glance back to the wretched place.
He ran into another Hazard Cat five miles from the city. This one looked old and frail, so he simply pushed past it and continued walking.
The cat turned and sunk his claws into Lore's flesh.
Lore snarled and spun around, smashing the cat into a nearby brick wall, snapping his neck and killing him instantly. Lore was breathing heavily, and suddenly realized that his back had three long, jagged cuts running down it. "Drat," he said, hissing at the dead cat before him. "Look what you did to my pelt!" He looked down at his left paw, seeing the scar that had been there for years. He stood still, remembering how one of the poachers had found him, pulled him up by the scruff of his neck, and plunged the knife through his entire paw. He'd yowled in pain, and slashed at the man until he dropped him.
"I'll be getting THAT guy next," he hissed, walking forward with three good paws and one numb one, as it had been for years. "I promised I'd avenge you, Mama," he said, "and I've never broken a promise to you as of yet."

This place is not mine, and all is not fine.
Like, where is all my corruption?
I need destruction to make me feel okay.
Did I get lost along the way, playing nice like they wanted me to be?
No, I will not smile to make your day, I just wanna cause a little entropy!
You tried so hard to make a hero out of me,
But there are some rules I don't obey,
And I just wanna cause a little entropy!
You tried so hard to take the discord outta me,
But I'm not generic in that way,
And I just wanna cause a little entropy!
Well, I've got no good intention.
The fourth dimension is my own mansion.
It's all messed up; I don't care!
'Cause what fun is there in ever making sense?
