A/N: This is Darkspecter141 giving another shot at making a Strike Witches fanfic. This story may not be what you're used to for reasons I will get to in a second. This story starts during Season 1 of Strike Witches, specifically episode 9, where Yoshika meets the Human Neuroi. Instead of just the Neuroi, Yoshika and the 501st JFW will see the debut of a new villain. A villain who will very quickly prove to be the greatest threat the world has ever known. The reasons are this: he is not only from an alternate future, but he has the ability to physically manifest anything from the game library of the PS4 fused into him. With that said, you can look at this as a semi-crossover between Strike Witches and a multitude of games. I will do my best to make this story epic, suspenseful, and dramatic. So sit back, relax and enjoy chapter 1.
Disclaimer: I own nothing from Strike Witches or anything else except my OC and the plot. Besides those two things, all rights go to their respective owners.
December 2015, New York City
It was two weeks before Christmas. A young man in his early twenties is in his modest, one-bedroom apartment enjoying his weekly day off from work doing the two things he enjoyed most, watching anime from his Apple computer and playing his PS4. The latter activity he particularly loves to do because he had dozens of video games for his cherished game system. His name, well let's just call him Mark.
On this night, Mark just finished watching the last episode of Season 1 of the anime Strike Witches and proceeded to play Star Wars: Battlefront on his PS4. During one multiplayer session, he said the one thing to himself that will change his life forever within the next few hours.
"Man, I for one prey to whomever is listening that I can go to the world of Strike Witches and shake things up a little. I don't know, maybe give me the powers of my PS4 games or something."
After a "productive" couple of hours playing as a Stormtrooper, Mark shut off his PS4 for the night and went to bed, not especially eager to get up early in the morning for work. One hour into his slumber however, he is suddenly awoken by a bright light. Mark can only see through this light just enough to realize that this light was staring at him with piercing red eyes. To say that he was scared of what ever the heck this thing is was an understatement. He was terrified!
"W-W-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU" Mark said, trying to get some kind of response from the light with red eyes. Unfortunately, the light continued to stare at him but for only a few seconds. It then levitated up to the bedroom ceiling. The next thing Mark knew, he was enveloped in a swirl of tangible light energy. Through the gaps in the swirl, he could see all of his PS4 games including Just Cause 3, Star Wars: Battlefront, Fallout 4, and even Until Dawn transform into little balls of light and then the PS4 console itself. Just when all the balls of light rammed into him at once, Mark's world went black.
Alternate Earth 1943, Neuroi Hive above Gallia
When Mark came to, he knew that he DEFINATLY wasn't in his bedroom anymore. He was surrounded by red and black and there was a sound that Mark could best sum up to humming but from what and where he did not know. He took a moment to look at himself and that was when he got the shock of his life. On the top of his right wrist, is the PlayStation logo seared into his light colored skin.
"Okay, heh, I-I-I must be in some crazy as hell dream and I should be waking up any second now…ANY SECOND NOW!" Mark said.
"You are not dreaming human." a voice suddenly says.
"WHO'S THERE!? SHOW YOURSELF!" Mark shouted.
Right on cue, the source of the voice walked (or rather floated) out of the shadows and Mark absolutely could not believe his eyes. Levitating right in front of him is the human-shaped Neuroi from episode 9 of Strike Witches.
"You, You're a Neuroi. But wait, what's going on and (he briefly glanced at the PlayStation symbol on his wrist) what IS all this?" Mark was doing his best from showing the fear and confusion gripping him to the Neuroi.
"You are inside the Hive currently above the land mass named Gallia by the humans. Before you say it, we are communicating telepathically. I can sense your fear and confusion. Honestly, I am a little fascinated by how a human was able to get inside a Neuroi hive. So, I won't kill you…..Yet." The "Yet" part was not lost on Mark and the fear of what this Neuroi was going to do to him made him nearly wet his pajamas.
But Mark is unwilling to be blown to pieces by lasers without a fight. But where can he find a weapon? He doubted this human-shaped Neuroi in front of him would just give him one. He mentally wished that he had a BlasTech Industries E-11 blaster rifle from Battlefront right now. As soon as that wish crossed his mind, the symbol on his wrist flared white and then, a fully functional E-11 rifle materialized in front of him. If that Neuroi had an actual face, it would be one of legitimate surprise. As for Mark, despite his own shock, saw this as a chance to turn the tables and pointed his new rifle at the Neuroi as soon as it dropped to his hands.
"Well, this is quite a development." The Neuroi said in its monotone "voice."
"Yeah, you're telling me!" Mark replied, with his E-11 still pointed squarely the Neuroi's chest. Then, the Neuroi came up with an idea.
"Human, as much as you continue to fascinate me, I do not have eternity to enjoy your presence. But, I do have a proposition for you."
"What proposition?" Mark responded, his eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"I sense that the witch known as Yoshika Miyafuji is nearby. I will lure this Witch into a trap, pretending to be interested by her, and you will appear and kill her." In what seemed the millionth time today, Mark's eyes widened in shock. After watchingStrike Witches, he knows that if this human-shaped Neuroi is in front of him, this is the point in the season where Yoshika will make contact with this very Neuroi with things getting out of hand and Major Mio Sakamoto nearly dying as a result.
Mark began to think hypothetically on what would happen if he did accept this Neuroi's "proposition." The most immediate answer that comes to mind is that he won't get into a Neuroi vs human shootout and that would be a benefit. Something else came to his mind right after that, the wish he made before he somehow got transported here. Mark did say he wanted to shake things up if he wound up in Strike Witches. This was his golden opportunity, so, what the hell?
"Well Neuroi, as we human say: 'you strike a hard bargain.' I accept your proposition…..for the time being at least. The Neuroi nodded its head in response.
"Very well" With that, the Neuroi levitated down through the floor and out of Mark's sight.
A question occurs in Mark's head. How can he fly with this Neuroi and the Witches he will soon face? He takes a look at his E-11, and the answer hits him like a bullet to the head. He thinks back to the last thing he saw before he was knocked out, the transformation of his games and PS4 console into balls of light and then slamming into him. The E-11 in his hands was the final piece of the puzzle. If he can "materialize" a blaster rifle, he theoretically can do the same for ANYTHING from ANY of his games.
Finally realizing the power given to him, Mark flashed an ear-to-ear grin so sinister that it would make even Lelouch Vi Britannia of Code Geass tremble. He has gone from being a game and anime obsessed geek to virtually a god. He vowed that he will put his newfound power to excellent use.
A/N: And with that comes the end of this chapter. Let me tell you all this right now, great power can corrupt just as much as it can save and Mark will soon be a textbook example. Far from "shaking things up," Mark will commit all of his power to turning the world of Strike Witches (especially the lives of the 501st)upside down. Any suggestions are welcome! Of course, within a chapter or two, Mark will no longer be called by his name. His new one is what you see in the title. Get ready readers, because there's a new war in town and that fact will become quite clear to the Strike Witches in chapter 2 coming soon!
