Summary: Inspired by 'ProtonJon Animated: Mystery of the Ghost Fart' on YouTube, multiple video game characters find themselves dealing with a phenomenon known as a 'Hyper Apocalypse'. But some of their specific equipment slots are locked completely, and others are limited to items meeting certain requirements. Add in the ability to acquire higher-rarity gear to help survive, and things are really going to get crazy real quickly.

Let the chaos begin.

Chapter 1: First Wave

"Ow, my head." a female voice said as a young girl with long purple hair woke up in an unknown wasteland. "What the heck happened to me?"

"That's what i wanna know." another female piped up from a ways to the purple-haired girl's left. Turns out she had landed next to a girl with long red hair and azure eyes. "The name's Anise." she said, holding out a perfectly manicured hand with neon pink nails.

"Shantae." the purple-haired girl said. "Do you know what's going on?"

"Somewhat. Dark Star Corporation launched something that triggered a phenomenon known as a 'hyper' apocalypse; we have a seriously long way to go to reach the only safe haven on this world. In terms of equipment the gear comes in the three rarity levels from Fallout Shelter, but some slots have been locked completely and others have limiters on them that are either already active or will activate upon acquiring a certain type of item for that particular slot."

"Have you checked your equipment setup yet?" Shantae, curious, asked.

"That was the first thing i checked. My heargear and jacket slots are completely inaccessible, while what in 7 Days to Die is the shirt slot is limited to tube tops like my current one. Females also have access to five slots for earrings, but for some reason i ended up with at least 30."

"You got a nice body, that limitation actually makes you look hotter." a heavily blushing Shantae said.

"Thanks, you got a nice one yourself. Check your equipment setup before we head out." Anise, completely calm, stated.

Taking the suggestion, Shantae promptly opened up a virtual screen to show her equipment slots.

Here's what it read:

Name: Shantae

Lv. 1, 0% XP

Current Bonuses: None

Headgear: Empty

Glasses: Empty

Choker: Empty

Necklaces: 5 slots, 5 empty

Earrings: 35 slots, 35 empty

Jacket: Empty

Bracelets: 25 slots, 24 empty (currently equipped: gold VZR-KH bracelets)

Shirt: red BD midriff-baring tube

Leg armor: Locked

Pants: Locked

Hosiery: Empty

Anklets: 10 slots, 10 empty

Shoes: red A/G-type flats

Shantae didn't anticipate the sheer number of earring slots she had, though Anise had admitted having approximately the same number herself.

What really concerned her was the fact she did not have an occupied slot despite still having her golden hoop earrings already in her ears.

"Anise you might wanna see this." Shantae spoke up.

"Yeah, did i forget to mention you can equip as many hoop earrings as you can without using an equipment slot in that area? I got that same bonus but with hanging pairs. C'mon, we got a long way to go to reach the safe zone. Let me do the driving, i happen to be an Emblem Frame pilot with the Rune Angel wing."

"Okay." Shantae said, then hopped into the passenger seat of a red sedan as Anise got behind the wheel. "Do you have any major bonuses? I don't think the ability to equip a certain type of earrings without using a slot isn't one, i didn't see that aspect on my equipment field."

"Actually i do have one, an effect akin to the Yu-Gi-Oh trap card 'Bad Reaction to Simochi' for my speed when i wear high heels."

"High heels make you faster?! How do i get that bonus?!" Shantae, stars in her eyes, asked.

"Honestly i have no idea, you and this car are the only things i've found in the time i've spent here. I think i started with that bonus. We better get going, it's a very long way to reach the safe zone."

"Okay." Shantae said, then decided to look at the redhead's outfit setup. Like herself, Anise wore a red midriff-baring tube top, but since she had access to her pants slot she had blue jeans with a hole in the left knee and brown Birkenstock Milano sandals with the ankle-straps closed. From experience Shantae knew she was the type to prefer sandals over anything else, whereas the purple-haired girl mostly opted for flats, but choosing THIS design was quite a surprise. At least she didn't pick the slip-on variant.

Once the car was turned on the two girls took off, Shantae's heart racing when the car took off like a rocket down the road. But that wasn't the only reason her heart was racing, for the fact Anise wore a midriff-baring tube top allowed her to clearly see the top of an almost-invisible t-strap thong over top the redhead's jeans.

"Anise, i have a question." Shantae, blushing profusely, said.

"What's the problem, cutie?" Anise flirtatiously asked, causing Shantae's blush to deepen further.

"Are you a... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-" Because of her major blush and Anise's flirting with her Shantae couldn't gets her thoughts under control.

Thankfully Anise was there to help, but not in a way Shantae expected.

"You're wondering if i'm a lesbian, right?" Anise, now in just her thong and sandals, asked as she leaned close to her blushing ally. "I'm bisexual, actually. To me it doesn't matter what my potential sex partner's gender is, if they're hot i'm into having a relationship with them."

"You don't wear a bra?!" Shantae suddenly asked, her blush deeper yet on noticing Anise's tits (which were far larger than she anticipated) completely exposed.

"I can't, my tits are too big for one. Heck, midriff-baring tube tops are the only way i can even adequately cover them, only because the ones i wear are made specifically for my huge bust."

"Well then, can't you cover yourself up at least? I don't wanna die due to your body distracting me."

Anise stopped the car, knowing Shantae had a point about her current lack of clothing. She also knew that even with her only option for her shirt slot equipped her bust was so big it would give the purple-haired girl a hard time keeping her feelings for the red-haired beauty in check.

"Okay." Anise said, then opened her equipment holo-screen. The tube top she had been wearing earlier materialized without any problems whatsoever, perfectly cupping her massive bust without the need for a bra (which with her bust size was less than useless anyway).

"DAMNIT, NOT AGAIN!" she yelled when nothing materialized to cover her thong.

"You have some sort of semi-hidden limiter on your pants slot?" Shantae asked, also wondering why nothing happened.

"Must be, i've tried everything eligible for that slot but one. Only problem is i've never been able to find a pair of that type." Anise said, making a sheet of paper materialize in her hand.

Looking at it Shantae saw the one type of clothing for the redhead's troublesome equipment slot that hadn't been crossed out.

And she had a unit of that very type in her inventory that very moment.

"Here, see if these will reveal that limiter." Shantae said as she handed Anise her otherwise-useless harem pants. Taking them Anise first put them on so her inventory system would register them, then used her holo-screen to doff them before attempting to have them rematerialize on her.

This time they did in fact rematerialize on her; Anise promptly hugged Shantae in a way that the purple-haired girl's face was buried in the redhead's massive bust.

"Thanks Shantae, that actually worked!"

"Nice to hear it, they were useless to me anyway with that slot locked."

"At least you even got that slot; i never received the choker slot even though i have one on right now."

"Maybe Dark Star Corporation never gave you that slot because they viewed it as too important to your looks to risk you not wearing one, putting you in your current choker in order to activate the same effect regarding me and hoop earrings."

"You may be on to something there. C'mon, we got daylight to burn, zombies to kill, and gear to find."

"And potential teammates."

"That too." With that, Anise floored the gas causing the car to take off like a rocket. This time Shantae lowered her window to let her signature ponytail fly behind her in the wind. The duo proceeded to stop at a thankfully empty (of zombies, though multiple zombie corpses were already in torrid shape indicating someone else had been there before them) city.

One particular corpse appeared to get the wrong end of a fiery shotgun shell.

"Seems like Yang was part of the last team to pass through here." Anise said as she investigated this remnant of a zombie.

(In a motel on the opposite side of the city a blonde woke up, with a strange urge to punch whoever just made a homeworld pun involving her.)

"Zombie got the wrong end of her shotgun gauntlets?" Shantae asked.

"Yeah, that's the only possible cause of this type of damage pattern. Let's get searching, see if we can't find anything to defend ourselves with in case of horde."

"Right." Deciding to stick together to increase their odds of survival, the two girls entered a random building. Anise managed to find a SPAS-12 shotgun and fifty-six shells in a crate, whereas Shantae equipped herself with an MP5K SMG and six full clips of ammo. Another building nearby allowed the two to load up on medical supplies, a third saw them stock up on food (Anise told Shantae it wasn't smart to fight zombies on an empty tummy), and at one that only Shantae entered she acquired equipment types that neither she nor Anise could use (when asked by Anise she explained the possibility of a potential teammate having a limiter mandating an acquired equipment type they had yet to find like what had happened earlier between the two).
