Destructo

The Dark Lord's Husband


Looks like I'm in a contest...Heh...Leave it to him to challenge me.
If you want, show me a little support.




Xero's first Battle Mech to be created, Destructo is loyal to his husband until the very end. While he was originally created as a weapon to destroy worlds in a single shot, his role became much more important when he realized he'd fallen in love with his creator -- And Xero had fallen in love with him.

The bond between them is unbreakable, and while Destructo fears being destroyed, he will protect Xero and his world with his life. However, it's hard to think that Destructo had any power whatsoever, due to his army being lead by Commander Xac, a Battle Mech with a ruthless and demanding attitude. Compared to Xac, Destructo has been called a "timid puppy dog" by soldiers behind his back, but even Destructo himself can't deny that his demeanor is significantly different from the lower-ranked Commander. However, Xac tends to challenge Destructo to duels to test his strength, and Destructo is able to fight back with skill and courage, usually either besting Xac or ending the duel with a tie.

Destructo enjoys remaining by Xero's side at all times. He likes to watch him live his life, but also wants to be there if Xero ever needed him for any reason. The two can always be seen sharing a meal or the occasional dance together. They are also known for leaving the castle and gazing at the night sky when everyone else (perhaps excluding Xac) is asleep. Most of the time, they end up falling asleep under the stars, but they sometimes make it back to their room before someone notices them missing - And if someone does notice, they tend to know that they're just spending time alone together.

Despite being a soldier, Destructo enjoys the fancier things in life. He enjoys fancy occasions, to the point where he almost always wears his jacket for such occasions (but while in battle, he takes it off to avoid it getting damaged or dirty). He likes how he looks in it and how it feels, and of course, the occasional compliment. He takes his looks seriously - not only due to being Xero's husband, but due to wanting to be presentable for any occasion.

He loves to dance and show off his moves to Xero, but doesn't dare let his army know that he prefers dancing over fighting. The only time he mentioned his liking of dancing to another soldier was when Xac was given the title of Army Commander and a fancy ball was held in his honor, to which the latter replied that "dancing does not make one strong; Only battling will improve one's skills". Xac has eaten these words a few times, due to Destructo using some of his dance moves in battle to confuse and otherwise throw him into an outrage before defeating him. After every battle, however, Destructo learns new moves due to both of their abilties to analyze and otherwise memorize each other's tactics; While some of them succeed in their next battles, others needed work and were thwarted by Xac's newly gained power.

Despite being polar opposites, Destructo and Xac see each other as worthy allies, and Xac treats Destructo with respect, accepting him as his superior. They will normally refer to each other by their titles, "My Lord" and "Commander", respectively, but the occasional "Xac", "Xacy", or "Xac Attack" may escape Destructo's mouth, especially if he wants to pick at Xac just for fun. While Xac can't stand playfulness between soldiers, he knows that Destructo is no longer just a weapon, and may poke fun back - Usually in a more crude manner. Destructo knows that Xac is just using "his" version of playing around, however, and lets most jokes slide. However, if one is taken too far, he will scold Xac, to which Xac will have the rare look of shame on his face. The two will still get along afterwards, and never fight unless it's a challenge to show how they've improved.


Years later, Destructo was involved in a fight against Ricki, one of their foes. In that fight, it was thought that he had destroyed Ricki, but in reality, the latter was knocked out and just severely injured. Noticing what he'd done, Destructo fled to Xero and begged him to finally end all the fighting. Before Xero could reply, their greatest foe, Electro, invaded and struck out of rage that he nearly lost his husband. It was for the sake of not losing a loved one that Destructo wanted this truce to take place, and while Electro eventually left the kingdom, it didn't seem clear that the truce would happen.

Eventually, word came that Electro agreed to the truce, but didn't trust the Dark Ones. Destructo was relieved, but it was clear that both Xero and Xac didn't trust the Light Ones themselves.


Eventually, the army was soon retired after multiple events regarding the ongoing truce, a former inner demon turned hero, and even new threats. However, said new threats seemed to strike less often due to their always being fended back to their own worlds, and this is what caused the retirement.

Due to his role of head leader, Xac was still given the order to protect the kingdom should the need arise, and the heartbroken Commander took this order with pride due to his willing to engage in combat.

After this, Xac became a professional model, something that Destructo didn't expect, and along with that, the constant "pretty boy" jokes were aimed at him instead. However, after noticing that Xac was at that moment uncertain about his job, the jokes stopped as quickly as they started, and neither of them used them again. Destructo supports Xac's career, despite that moment of teasing him as a form of payback, and while Xac would rather Destructo not know about his job, he admits that "the more supporters he can get, the better" -- Especially when it came from the Pretty Boy King himself, because even Xac knew what Destructo has to go through to maintain his appearance, and now...He has to do the same.
