Transdimensional Journey of Paradise Ch. 1: Omar Tapia
"Virulent Ruler...Bad Luck Deathlock...Dreadnaught Abaddon...perfect! Heh heh...Dylan is gonna be pissed when I say these during our matches!" Muttered a teenager sitting at a desk.
This boy's name is Omar Tapia. He has a rather large collection of video games, along with about 29 notebooks on his shelf, each with stories he will probably never publish in his life. He also happens to be very introspective, as seen with him talking to himself a lot. The reason for this is because he has created a so-called "Mindscape" within his mind that he "places" all of his ideas and thoughts into. Along the way, he created 21 voices in his head, called the Aero, that he likes to talk to. A lot. People tend to think of him as weird, but that's not the case here.
"...no, Even. I'm not gonna ask out that girl I keep talking to online. I don't even know what she looks like!" Yelled Omar as he stood up.
He was talking to Even Beraves Artwaltz, the Perverse side of his thoughts. Whenever he comes up, its always "boobs" this and "ass" that. It kinda gets annoying, but you get used to it.
("Maybe you should ask for a picture of her, dude! Seal the deal!" Yelled Even, with his created voice from Omar.)
"No, man! I...get shy when it comes to stuff like this..." Said Omar, getting increasingly flustered.
Meanwhile, in the distance, through a rather odd portal with ribbons at the ends of it...
"Are you sure he's one of them? He looks like a major geek." Said one of four figures watching through the strange portal.
"Yes, I am certain of it. The Shrine Maiden won't be able to solve this incident by herself, that's for sure, which is why we need all the help we can get." Said another figure as she opened her fan and covered her mouth with it in a taunting way.
"I don't like your tone, Yukari, even if it is the truth..." Muttered another figure, feeling sad about it.
"Yes, Reimu. You were barely able to fight off the enemy this time, but only because it fled to Youkai Mountain." Answered Yukari in a cold tone of voice.
"Well, excuse me, I don't see you doing anything about it!" Yelled Reimu, looking increasingly angry.
"I have other plans, miss Shrine Maiden, such as getting the other seven players to join us. Please keep an eye on him while I go round them up." Said Yukari before disappearing into a portal.
"Damn that Yukari...why do I even bother helping her at all?" Asked Reimu to her great companion and thief, Marisa Kirisame.
"I dunno. Maybe its your sense of justice or some crap like that?" Answered Marisa, not even trying to help her friend.
"Yeah, sure. Let's just watch this kid for now." Said Reimu, looking through the portal.
"Stay outta this, Qesino! I'm not gonna ask her for money! What the hell is wrong with you!?" Yelled Omar.
("Asking for money every now and then doesn't hurt anyone...NOW GO GET SOME FUCKING MONEY." Yelled Qesino.)
This voice is named Qesino Nerasa Artwaltz, who represents the greedy side of your mind. He always talks about money. Like, all day every day. Seriously.
"Hm?" Said Omar as he walked up to his laptop on his pool table/dinner table because yes pool tables can be dinner tables. "Oh, god its another group chat. With Christina and Alain! I gotta ask Alain if the weapon is ready." Said Omar as he logged into his Chatorium account, EmpyreanStargazer.
-EmpyreanStargazer has joined the groupchat-
EmpyreanStargazer: hey guys what's up
FiestyPrincess: hey Omar! I missed you
ArchaicChemist: Hello Omar. Before you ask, yes the weapon you asked for is ready. I sent it through the mail yesterday. It should be there soon.
EmpyreanStargazer: thanks Alain you're the best
FiestyPrincess: ? Weapon?
ArchaicChemist: Right, I forgot to inform you. Omar asked me to send him a handmade weapon for a project of his.
FiestyPrincess: Ooh! What's the project?
ES: sorry, Christina. That's a secret.
FP: Aw, phooey! Wait, I just heard something. I'll be right back.
AC: alright. We'll be waiting for your return.
ES:...so how's your bro? Is he feeling better?
AC: Better is an understatement. He still won't let me in his room. At least he started eating again.
ES: that's a relief. I hope he feels better.
-ArcadeRhapsody has joined the chat-
AR: feelin just fine, thanks.
AC: Brother? How are you in this chat?
AR: Using my cell phone. Sorry for making you worry bro. I know I should just face the facts and accept that me and her relationship is over.
AC: Agreed. There are many other women out there you can meet. You just have to put yourself out there.
AR: Right!
FP: Ok, I'm back! Ooh, Dylan's here! Hey Dylan!
AR: hey Christina. Where were you?
FP: Just checking out some weird noises in my closet. You feelin better?
AR: Yeah, thanks.
FP: Alright! What should we talk about?
ES: Touhou!
AR: That series is too easy. I should go for other shooter games instead. Except Subterranean Animism. That made me work up a sweat.
AC: I cannot even go past Stage 4 in Lunatic Mode on Perfect Cherry Blossom. The Prismriver Sisters fires far too many bullets too see coming.
FP: I don't play the game too often...but I like playing UFO! Collecting the cute little UFOs all over the screen! But I always die when that happens...
ES: I'm still trying to beat Ten Desires in Hard Mode. Freaking Seiga...
At that moment, the doorbell rang three times.
"Hm?" Said Omar, looking up from his laptop and going up to the door, opening it.
"Hello, I have a package for a Mr. Omar Tapia. Is he here right now?" Asked the package deliverer.
"That's me." Answered Omar, then signed his name on the form, then accepted the package, followed by shutting the door. The package was in a door shape. Looks like Alain was smart packing this. After ripping the package open, he saw the beautiful scythe within. Well crafted blade, sharp to the touch. Firm handle, made to perfection.
"Let's give this a try." Said Omar, before looking at a pile of rather lewd images of Fionna from Adventure Time sent to him by Dylan through his own printer. Alain probably made some adjustments to his computer, but whatever. He then lifted one of the images up off the group with a few hand motions, as if through telekinesis, proceeding to slash it in half. Not a single fault in the line. A perfect cut. He couldn't help but shed a single tear in awe of this beautiful weaponry. But then he remembered that Christina, Alain, and Dylan are still on, so he returned to his laptop.
ES: Sorry about that. I just got the package, Alain. Its perfect.
AC: I do take pride in my work.
-CacophonicElegy has joined the chat-
CE: A little too much pride, don't you think?
AC: Ashton! Don't you have music to be making instead of talking to us?
CE: Well, unlike others, I don't have much free time to spend building useless contraptions all day.
AC: Say that again! I dare you!
It seems yet another argument has broken out between the so-called best friends. Despite those two being the oldest, they act like five year olds when it comes to work.
"Man...for some reason, I can't stop thinking its funny. Its like their perfect for each other. Haha..." Thought Omar to himself.
"Having fun?" Asked a familiar figure appearing from a familiar portal.
"Huh?!" Exclaimed Omar as he turned around, only to stop in shock. "Y-yukari...Yakumo?! Why are you here? And HOW?" Exclaimed Omar, fear in his voice. He knew that not only that she is one of the strongest figures in Gensokyo, but she is also a Youkai. She could eat him. Right here. Right now.
"The scythe...a rather odd weapon, but if it suits you." Muttered Yukari, keeping a chuckle in.
"Ngh..." Growled Omar before grabbing the scythe and charging at Yukari.
"Oh, no. That won't work." Said Yukari before opening a portal in front and behind her, causing Omar to enter the front portal and exit the back portal.
"Ow! Fuck!" Exclaimed Omar, rubbing his head. "What do you want?!"
"It may sound odd, but I require you and your friends's help." Asked Yukari, covering half of her face with the fan.
"M-my help?" Stuttered Omar. He couldn't help but think that this ISN'T Yukari, but an imposter, considering she usually goes to Reimu and Marisa for help.
("Maybe she needs help with her Thousand Year Old Pipes." Said Even before snickering like a rumor spreader.)
(No, man. She's got the boundaries to help her with that. She gets all the cleaning supplies she wants." Added Qesino before getting high-fived by Even.)
"Stop talking about Yukari's pipes!" Yelled Omar, before covering his mouth and realizing what he just said. (That's it. I'm dead. Game over.)
"What an odd thought. Did Even think of that one?" Said Yukari.
"What? You know about my voices?" Asked Omar, puzzled and angry.
"We know a lot about you and your friends. We've been watching you for a while, seeing your progress, watching you take on the obstacles of life." Said Yukari.
"So...what? What do you need my help with?" Said Omar as he picked up the scythe and sheathed the bare blade.
"Something is coming to destroy Gensokyo. In fact, this "thing" is already IN Gensokyo, but no matter what we do, we can't get close to it. If I had chosen to bring you and your friends there early, you wouldve been killed." Said Yukari with a cold tone in her voice.
"K-killed? Wait, what makes you think me and my friends can beat whatever this thing is?" Asked Omar.
"Because you and your friends have the powers to do so." Added Yukari. "You have your mind based powers, and the others have their own unique abilities."
"Wait...so this isn't a mutation? It's...natural?" Asked Omar.
"Yes. Although you're growing at a rather slow rate, you'll be able to use your powers to great lengths. To protect those around you, and to create and destroy at will." Said Yukari.
"...alright. What about my friends?" Said Omar, heading into his room to grab his stuff.
"Once I send you to Gensokyo, I'll send the others afterwards. Also pack lightly. You'll be travelling a lot during your visit." Said Yukari.
"Um...alright?" Said Omar, coming out with a red backpack five minutes later.
"Ready?" Asked Yukari.
"Wait. What are the chances of us coming back alive?" Asked Omar, afraid of the answer.
"Its very low, at your current level. Possibly 0.0003%. Or less. Around there." Answered Yukari.
"Um...ok." Said Omar, sweating a little, and packing his laptop, and stepping in front of a portal created by Yukari.
"Welcome to Gensokyo." Said Yukari.
"I'm not gonna like this one bit." Said Omar, before finally entering the portal.
"Now its time to recruit the Flaming Seraph..." Muttered Yukari, before disappearing into a portal, to the home of Christina Klein.
