Hunters v2
Chapter 1
Take 2
As long as I draw breath, I will see that she does, too. No matter how she suffers, I'll not allow her to die. She is both my crime and my redemption. My ego. My joy. I dedicate my life entirely to her, and know no greater pleasure.-Doctor Victor, Bravely Default
He awoke from his bed and stood on the blue carpet. It was a nice place, with your typical bare white walls and the previously mentioned dirty blue carpet. Our main protagonist immediately switched out of his pajamas and into a white t-shirt, brown khakis along with a pair of brown plastic sandals. He then pulled a black comb through his messy short brown hair, complemented by two bright blue eyes and a bright left his room, making his way down the stairs and into a second hallway. This hallway looked about the same as his room, just with hardwood floors instead of the dirty blue carpet. He slowly walked down the hallway, humming a tune to himself. Today was just another day, another chance for answers. The hallway opened up, revealing your average kitchen-living room combo. Unlike his room and his hallway, a white tile floor and oak paneling welcomed him. That and the the sizzling of some sort of fried goodness on a metal skillet.
"Good Morning, Ace." A voice greeted as Ace's gaze focused on the skillet. Standing beside it, was some teenage girl. The girl was dressed in a short cyan dress and silver high heels. She strummed her pale fingers across her platinum blonde hair, possibly to pass the time. Her yellow eyes and pink lips were more focused on the skillet and it's sliced pork than Ace.
"Good morning to you too, Clara." Ace answered as he walked over to the table and sat down. Not much sat there, just a light blue tablecloth and a white plate stacked with partially eaten pancakes."Is that all the pancakes?"
"Yep." Her gaze focused on his, as Ace stepped towards her."You should've gotten up earlier and helped."
"But you could have waited. I had a long day yesterday, and some pancakes would help that." Ace's hand went towards the skillet, knocking it off the burner,
"Not my style." She placed the skillet back on the burner and looked her friend in the eye."Don't you ever try that again."
The two looked one another in the eye and took a deep breath.
"Fine." Ace whispered as he headed into the living room, grabbing two katanas out of a large chinese-style vase beside a brown couch. "Ready to go?"
"Where?" Clara teleported over to him, pulling two kopis out of the same vase. Unlike her partner's katanas, the kopis were just a curved piece of metal with some leather wrapped around the thinner end for a hilt. Outside, loud rumbling began to breach the room."Or not."
As she said that, a large cylinder-like vehicle crashed through the second floor of their home and continued on their merry way.
"Let's go!" Ace shouted and fitted his weapons to his belt. Clara did the same and the two headed into the somehow still intact garage. Unlike the rest of the home, bare walls and a grey concrete floor awaited them.
"Ready to do this?" Clara inquired as Ace nodded. They immediately walked over to Ace's vehicle, getting on and headed off. Somehow, the duo managed to
"Those were the times, weren't they?" A girl remarked, snapping Ace back into reality.
"I know, Nina." Ace responded as the two stood against the wall. Unlike Ace, Nina was dressed in a purple spaghetti strap boob tube and a matching skirt. Hanging off of the skirt, was a set of slightly bulky butterfly swords with a cyan crystal blade and a rough metal hilt. This was somehow complimented by her purple high heels and jet black hair that covered her right eye but tied into a ponytail in the back. Her eyes shined purplish blue as a neutral look formed on her face."Back when things were a whole lot simpler."
"And yet, things can't always stay that way" Nina answered as Ace looked down at the ground.
They had just reached the digital world. For them, it was a nice change of scenery from the silent and abandoned urban jungle they called home. Their guide immediately ran off, complaining that he had somewhere that he needed to go. So, there they were, waiting for him to return.
"Seriously, where did he go?" A boy shouted as the hunters only stood there and continued to wait. He was bulky guy, dressed in an orange sleeveless muscle shirt and matching shorts. "Cid, do you got any ideas?"
His lizard samurai partner stared back at him.
"That's a good question." Cid remarked and sat himself down.
"Are you ever going to do something useful?" Varia inquired as Cid shook his head.
"Nope." Varia walked away and headed away from the rest of the group.
"Varia, what's wrong?" Ace accused and walked over to his partner. A loud click sounded off and black metal spikes erupted out of the ground and into our "lucky" victims. A few seconds later, a weird jester made of mist approached the two.
"My, my, my." The figure thought as she touched the two."Consider yourself lucky this time."
"But Clara and I did it." Ace countered as they left the current room and entered a hallway. It was your typical hallway, with cream colored walls and a monotone grey carpet. "Wait a minute. Something has been changed!"
"The normal response for that is unpredictable." Nina answered as she watched her "friend"."But, anything could happen out of that."
It was nice and sunny that day, which was pretty commonplace in the land of the dead, or Heck. It's current occupants were laying on those folding beach chairs at the edge of some weird dark blue liquid, possibly attempting to relax. While that activity wasn't that hard, it still wasn't the same without their two friends there.
"So, what's the plan for today?" A boy asked as Nina looked at him. His appearance was similar to Ace's,
"Let's see, volleyball, ping-pong, then finally convincing Valia she is a squash." Nina answered as a portal opened up. A few seconds later, out popped the unlucky duo, looking a little bit battered."What happened this time?"
"We got blamed." Ace explained as Kalin got off his chair and pulled out a first aid kit. Varia then grabbed the object out of his hands, proceeding to bandage up the wounds of herself and Ace."But, today we're busting out."
His fellow teammates reacted with an "are-you-crazy?" look, causing the "gogglehead" to laugh. He was used to it at that point.
"I agree with Ace on this one." A voice announced, causing the harem to turn around and the traitorous cowgirl to walk up. "It's time."
"Go away, Aurora." Celestia announced and pulled her deck of cards out of her dark blue trenchcoat, forming a cavalry saber out of them. While the cream colored catgirl usually strayed away conflict, something seemed different at that moment."We don't welcome traitors."
"Is that so?" Aurora answered, pulling her pistols out. While both weapons looked recently used, they still had their shiny appearance."I still have business up there."
"As in what?" A girl accused and walked towards Aurora. The girl was dressed in a forest green sundress with brown leather sandals. Her hair was a pale grey, flowing all the way down to her waist. Two red orbs stared all around her, complimented by her large and happy smile. "All you did was be an asshole towards us and lead to our deaths."
"Sure…" Aurora pointed her guns in the direction of the girl. The girl responded with pulled out an ordinary combat knife. "But you guys would never understand."
"Stop." Ace announced, pulling his katanas out. The metal blade upon the weapons shined in the mild noon sun along with detracting from the blue leather wrapped metal hilts that were falling apart a little bit."It's decided then."
"So, what's the big plan then?" Mark accused as they walked away from the beach chairs. As he said that, Ace pulled out some orange and blue court jester hat.
"Where did you get that?" Kai questioned and the holder of the hat laughed.
"From a friend." Ace held his free hand out, allowing his friends to grab on.
"You're about to see." Varia whispered something under her breath, causing a familiar cyan mist to engulf them.
"But things worked out." Ace responded as they both laughed as the hallway opened up, revealing the other hunters. The room was quite large with its three bright yellow walls and birch floors. The northern wall had been replaced with a large glass for some reason. They were all sitting there, possibly waiting for something. "Have they all arrived yet?"
"Almost." Clara answered and threw Ace a small pocket telescope. Ace stretched the device out and looked through. Outside, three groups stood out on some large concrete pavillion. The first, had managed to huddle themselves in a small alley, which was pretty impressive since the alleyway wasn't decided to hold that many people. The second, were on the outskirts and were possibly wearing oversized animal costumes. The third, appeared to be a small group of people chasing after somebody.
"Give them time." Kai added as they pressed themselves up against the glass. "They'll be here soon enough. After all, there's still time..."
Notes:
Soon it will all come together...
