Realm Warrior
Chapter 1: The Adventure Begins!
-P.O.V. Change/Above Virtua Forest-
Man, I have got to work on my landings. I might kill someone one of these days… Oh well. At least Neptune is all right… When we came into orbit above the first dungeon of the world, Virtua Forest… I actually caught on fire! It shocked me so much, I started freefalling, trying to put myself out like crazy while not trying to hurt the unconscious Neptune in the process. Due to that shit happening, I actually crash landed in the middle of the forest, creating a bigger crater than what Neptune was supposed to create. I laid there with the smell of burning rubbed invading my nostrils. Well… Shoes aren't exactly fireproof anymore. I sat up and kicked my scorched shoes off.
"I liked those shoes, too… Son of a…" I muttered as I stood up and dusted myself off. I checked for any other injuries on Neptune and sighed with relief when I found nothing too bad. I rubbed the back of my head and looked up at the top of the crater. I then noticed some blue round gel like creatures peeking over the edge of the crater.
"Dogoo!" one of the creatures called and the others responded with calling the same name out. I sighed and held out my right hand as a black hole appeared in front of my hand. I reached inside and pulled out a silver bladed katana from the black hole. The katana had a red ribbon tied to the end of it as I hooked the holster onto my back and unsheathed the sword.
"Looks like it's time to FUCK SHIT UP! ARMORY CUTTER!" I yelled as I delivered an upward slash and a large black wave followed my swing and cuts into the ground and crater wall, continuing to travel upwards and eviscerate several unsuspecting Dogoo. I leaped out of the crater after I scooped Neptune up under my arm and landed behind the group of Dogoo as they went into attack mode and charge at me.
"Radaska's Claw!" I yelled as I delivered multiple horizontal and vertical slash waves at theDogoo, cutting them down easily. I vanished into thin air and reappeared on the other side of the group.
"Hell's waiting for ya mutts! Black Blade!" I called as my silver blade blackened as my hand became pitch black, "Here goes… God Slayer Iai: Mulina's Last Siren!" I vanished again and reappeared in front of the group this time, sheathing my katana. The group of Dogoo cried out in agony as they disappeared into binary code and pixels. My hand regained its normal color as I relaxed my shoulders. Then, I heard the bushes rustle behind me and I glanced to the sound with my hand raised to my sheathed katana.
"Wait, wait! I'm not a monster!" a girl's sweet voice called to me as a girl with cream color hair that went to her shoulders came out of the bushes. She wore a hot pink long sleeved sweater with a choker that had a heart on it around her neck, a short black and red checkered skirt with knee high black socks and boots, and a hip fanny pack that had an initial of a pink C on the side. This was Compa… Right on time, too.
"Oh, it's just a girl… Sorry about that. Where did you come from?" I asked her as I dropped my free arm to my side.
"Planeptune. What about you?" she said sweetly as she looked at me.
"Nowhere in particular… If I told you, you wouldn't believe me," I said honestly as I shrugged my shoulders. Then, my stomach started growling and I placed my free hand on my stomach.
"Sorry… Haven't really eaten since I got here. Know a good place to eat?" I said as I chuckled nervously. Compa smiled and nods her head. Then, she noticed Neptune under my arm.
"Oh! Is she okay?" Compa asked me.
"Yeah… Just a little scratched up. Got into a big fight with a boss and lost… But, we still livin'," I lied as I nodded my head. Compa can't know the truth about Neptune… Not yet. Anyway, better stick as close to canon as I can. Then, a loud roar was heard behind me and Compa jumped in shock as I whirled around to see a large pitch black dragon stomping towards us.
"Hey, do me a favor… Hold her for me," I told Compa as I handed her Neptune, "I gotta smash Tiny here. Iron Body: Arms!" My arms turned pitch black and I charged at the dragon.

I slammed my right fist into the dragon's stomach, knocking it into several trees. It roared in pain as it shot large flames at me.
"Hydra's Rage!" I yelled as I shot my hands forward and a large blue fireball bursts out of my hands towards the incoming flames. The 2 flames cancelled each other out and I looked on in mild surprise.
"This must be what Mulina was talking about when she said stronger monsters… That should've overpowered his attack. I better start getting serious…" I thought as I clenched my fists. My hair started changing from black to red.
"URRRRAAAAAAAAHHHH!" I yelled as my hair changed to crimson red and a crimson red aura surrounds my entire body. I stood up straight and cracked my neck.
"You should feel honored… Only Mulina has made me get serious. This… Is my Demi God form. This should be interesting… Come on!" I called as I put up a fighting stance. The dragon roared and raised its arm to swing at me. It then swung it claw at me and I stopped it with my own right hand. It then smashed its tail into my left side and I was sent into a nearby tree, uprooting it and knocking it over.
"Well… That was just plain rude. How's about we kick it up a notch?" I called as I got up and threw the tree at the dragon. It claws through the tree as I vanished into thin air.
"Chew on this! Stardust Rain!" I yelled as I reappeared in front of the dragon and created a rainbow shield in front of me and kicked the dragon down into the ground. I flew above it and held my hands above my head, an aqua blue light appearing in my hands. I let out a battle cry and unleashed a massive array of blue cosmic lights down onto the downed dragon. It roared in agony as it was hit with full force by my attack.
"Gogeta, eat your heart out!" I thought as I finished the attack and landed on the ground in front of the injured dragon as multiple fires spread out around us. Compa had taken Neptune to safety before the battle, so I didn't have to worry about them. I clapped my hands together and closed my eyes as I began weaving some hand signs together in a rapid motion.
"Sage Arts: Water Style… Aqua Rain Bomb!" I called as I shot a large bubble into the sky. The bubble pops and unleashed hundreds of water pellets onto the dragon, causing it to screech in pain. It smashed its tail onto the ground as the fires around us were instantly put out. I ducked under the tail as it raced at me and I grabbed the end of it as I stood back up. I spun it around several times in a row before launching it into the air. Once it went into the air, I flew after it and hovered above it with my right hand pointed down at it.
"Darkness Burn!" I yelled as I unleashed a vast pitch black beam down at the dragon and obliterated it from existence, its agonizing roar piercing through the sky. Once Darkness Burn was finished, it left a large hole in the ground… A hole that led to the dungeon below. The same dungeon where Neptune and Compa met that huge manlike spider monster… And fought against Arfoire. The same dungeon where Neptune will transform into her goddess form. I better make sure that still happens… I landed on the ground in front of the hole and snapped my fingers. The scorched ground under my feet grew grass again and the trees rooted themselves to the ground and bent back to normal. Mulina taught me a lot of neat tricks during my time with her… I am thankful I can fix some battle areas instantly. Not as good as her…. But, good enough. I walked away from the scene with my hands in my trenchcoat pockets and sighed.
"Just another day in Wonderland…" I muttered as my hair changed back to normal and the red aura disappeared around me.
-Scene Skip-
I kept walking until I found Compa standing next to a tree, working on Neptune's wounds.
"Don't you have a house to do that in? I mean, I know a doctor and nurse is always supposed to be prepared for anything…" I said as I walked up to her. Compa looked over at me and smiled as she nods her head.
"Sorry… I didn't want to let you get lost in the forest. I was gonna wait for you," Compa told me as she respectfully bows to me, "Especially since I am with your girlfriend."
"Oh… Well, how kind of you," I said, skipping over the fact that Compa said that Neptune was my girlfriend, "We better get you a proper setup. Where do you live?"
"In Planeptune. Down this road," Compa said as she points down to the left of us, "I will show you. Oh! I didn't ask your names…"
"I didn't either… My name is James Scott-Naoko. This is Neptune… What about you?" I told her kindly.
"My name is Compa! I am a nurse in training," Compa told me as she bows to me again.
"Oh, you don't need to bow," I told her as I waved her off, "Let's just get this one a good bed to rest in."
"Yessy!" Compa smiled as I picked Neptune up in my arms. Compa and I walked off to the direction that she pointed to and chatted the whole way. I told her about my family and other things… She told me about her family and her nursing occupation.

I opened my eyes, well rested from the day before and stretched my body out as I got up from my sitting position on the floor. I had stayed by Neptune's side as she rested from yesterday's events. She was sound asleep on the bed, still in the same blue parka jacket I see her in whenever I look at her. Then, I heard the alarm clock ringing loudly and I looked behind me with a frown.
"SHUUUUT UUUUUP!" Neptune yelled out of nowhere and punched the alarm clock. It sailed into the far left wall and broke apart upon impact. Damn, she got some airtime with that one… Nice. I looked back at her as she muttered to herself about breaking something important.
"Girl, if that was my face… You would've woken up dead," I joked as I smirked at her. She shot up out of her stupor, figuratively and literally as she heard my voice.
"The hell was that?! Is that my Prince Charming?!" Neptune called as she looked around and saw me, "Daaaaamn… Hello, sexy man! How you doing?" The fuq? She wakes up like that? I cleared my throat and sat on the bed.
"Are you my boyfriend? If you are, give Mama some sugah.." Neptune said seductively as she leaned closer to me. Seriously? I poked her on the forehead and pushed her back.
"Calm down, THOT. We ain't doing any of that… Yet, anyway," I told her as I looked at her, "Do you remember anything?" Neptune tilts her head to the side and blinked.
"I remember you saving me… And being attacked by some crazy women in swimsuits. That's it," Neptune told me and I blinked in shock. She remembers what happened in Celestia?! Well, part of it… That can change a lot of things… She has an idea of what Noire, Blanc, and Vert's HDD look like. If they transform in front of her, who knows what could happen?! And, she knows me… Looks like when I saved her, some memories stayed intact. I better take a gamble at it…
"Do you know who you are?" I asked her seriously. She looked down slightly and raised her head after a few seconds.
"My name is Neptune… Goddess of Planeptune, Purple Heart," she told me as she looked at me, "That's all I remember…" What? Ok, that right there can drastically change things! What the hell?! Did my interference cause her to know her true identity early?! Man, this will be a problem…
"Okay… For the sake of your safety, DO NOT tell anyone who you really are. Just say your name and that is it," I told her seriously. Neptune stared at me as if I was joking. When she saw that I wasn't, she slowly nods her head.
"Neptune, this isn't a joke. If the wrong person knows who you really are, they could kill you." Neptune flinched and looked down worriedly. I placed a hand on her head and she looked up at me.
"But, like hell I would let that shit happen… You are in safe hands with me. Cross my heart."
"Ooh… I gots me a boyfriend to protect me," Neptune smirked as she hugs me. I flinched and scratched my left cheek with my left hand. First Compa says that, now Neptune? Does the realm want me to pair up with Neptune? I mean, I am not complaining… But, I need to know her first. Hell, I hope Mulina won't get jealous…
"So… I better go. Compa needs to know you are awake," I told Neptune as I got up, "Be right back." Neptune sat cross-legged on the bed as I left out of the room, going into deep thought.
"I wish there was a way to talk to Mulina… But, she never gave me a direct answer for that. Guess I am on my own after all," I thought as I rubbed my chin, "For now, let's try to figure out how to keep Neptune's identity a secret." I made my way through the 2 story cream colored house down to the 1st floor and stopped when I saw Compa standing near a stove, cooking some breakfast for me, her, and Neptune.
"Hey, Compa. Looks like Neptune woke up," I told her as I walked into the kitchen. Compa raised he head and smiled at me.
"Oh, goodie! Thanks for the heads up, Jamie!" Compa told me with a cute smile. I blushed and rubbed the back of my head, chuckling nervously. I admit, I am a sucker for cuteness and adorable girls. It is my weak spot…
"Jamie? Can you say my name normally?" I said as I cleared my throat.
"Of course, James. I just thought Jamie sounded more… Cuter," Compa told me as she turned to me and touched her chin with her free left hand as she had a bashful look on her face. I felt my heart skip a couple beats when she said that… No girl should be this innocent and cute! Only person that could get away with that is Gia, my younger sister.
"Anyway… What are you cooking?" I asked Compa, changing the subject. She smiled and turned back to the stove.
"Eggs and pancakes. Will be ready in a minute. Could you watch the food while I tend to Nep… Umm… Nepu…" Compa said as a small blush appeared on her cheeks.
"You can't say Neptune, can you?" I asked her as I looked at her blankly, "Would Nep-Nep be better?"
"Ah! You are a lifesaver, Jamie!" Compa smiled as she nods her head, "Nep-Nep!" She hurried out of the kitchen and I took over, preparing the food on 3 pink plates and grabbing some silverware before leaving the kitchen a minute later. I ended up holding the plates on my left forearm. When I made it to Neptune's room, I heard their voices from inside.
"Rrgh… Hold on! The bandages are too tight! Loosen them a little!" Neptune called in pain.
"They have to be on firmly or they will fall off! Now, hold still…" Compa called as I heard the sound of fabric being ripped and stretched. I took that as my cue to enter into the room… And opened the door with my free right hand.

"I got the grub… Oh," I said as I looked at the bizarre scene in front of me. Neptune was fully nude with some of the gauze covering her small breasts and her lower area fully exposed to my line of sight while Compa was wrapping some of the gauze around her head.
"Okay… I did not expect Neptune to be in this position… But, hey. I feel like Mulina is taunting me somehow," I thought as I looked up at Compa.
"Why is she naked?" I asked Compa calmly as I blinked at her.
"Could you please look away? I am trying to bandage up her wounds," Compa said modestly as she wrapped gauze around Neptune's thighs.
"Neptune's right. That is way too tight," I told Compa as I placed the plates on a nearby nightstand and went over to them without looking at Neptune's nether regions, "Here. Hand me the gauze… I should rewrap it. Make it a little less tighter. You could stop her heart if you tie it too tight."
"Jamie… I know what I am doing," Compa pouted as she hands me the gauze.
"Calm down… I am only trying to help you in case of something like this happens in the future, okay?" I told her as I unwrapped the gauze around Neptune's upper torso area. Her small breasts were now visible to me as I attempted to rewrap the gauze around her wounds.
"You like whatcha see, sport?" Neptune smirked as she looked up at me. I sighed as I flicked her on the head.
"I saw your womanhood… And, I have seen better," I teased Neptune as I wrapped the gauze around her waist and then down her legs, "There. That should do it." Neptune pouted as her current attempt to seduce me failed. Being around Mulina helped me build up some forms of resistance to seduction. It's not huge… But, I can manage with what I got. Anyway, I stand up and face away as Neptune got dressed and Compa picked up 2 plates and handed one to me.
"Ooh! Is James gonna feed me?!" Neptune giggled as she sat on the bed and waited as I sat next to her.
"Just chill, wild child. Eat and get your strength back," I told her as I stabbed one of the pancakes and held it up to Neptune's face. Neptune took a huge bite out of it and I smirked at her. She did look absolutely adorable like that, chewing away without a care in the world.
"Mmm! These pancakes are the best! Who made them?" Neptune asked me as she looked up at me with sparkling eyes.
"That honor goes to Compa… She did take time out of her schedule to make us breakfast," I said as I took a bite from my eggs, "Scrumptious! Thank you, Comp!" Compa blushed as she reacted to my nickname for her.
"You're welcome," Compa said as she bows to us. I then reached into my coat and pulled out a red cup of pudding and opened it.
"How long did you have that in your coat?"
"Forever… The coat has its own hot and cold setting," I said nonchalantly, thanking Mulina for making this for me and giving me access to my own pocket dimension to store my inventory, "Take a bite. It's strawberry." I took out a spoon from my coat and took a scoop from the pudding. I ate it and licked my lips. I then eyed Neptune as she stared curiously at my pudding.
"What is that? It looks delicious," Neptune told me as she points at the cup.
"Pudding. Here, have a taste," I said as I took another scoop and fed it to her. She swallowed it and her eyes began twinkling again.
"SO GOOD! Where can we get more of this stuff?" Neptune told me as she took the spoon and cup of pudding from my hand. Then, my tail grabs the cup and held it in front of her.
"Wah! What is that?!"
"My tail… I had this for a while now. It indicates my race," I told her, "I am a full blooded Saiyan after all."
-Play Planeptune's Theme From Hyperdimension Neptunia (Original)-
"What is that, Jamie?" Compa asked as she sat down in a nearby red chair. I then explained to them what a Saiyan is, the lore of the race, how strong they are… The works. When I finished, Neptune and Compa had also finished eating. I was almost done with my breakfast when I finished the history lesson.
"Wow… I feel bad that your whole race was wiped out. Can't you do anything about it?" she asked me. I knew full well that it was impossible to do that now… Since I am the only Saiyan that exists outside of the Dragon Ball Z and Super canon. Also, I wasn't originally born a Saiyan anyway…
"Nah. Can't cry over spilled milk, either. Past is the past… All I can do is keep moving forward," I said as I shrugged my shoulders, "So… About Neptune…"
"Yeah?" Neptune said.
"When Compa found us in the forest, there was this dragon that attacked me… I wanna go check out the area again and see what I can find," I told her, "Maybe we can fond something that can restore your memories." Neptune raised an eyebrow and smiled as she nods her head.
"Yeah! Maybe I can find out why I got into that mess in the first place!" Neptune told me. Compa stared at me and Neptune before speaking.
"Are you sure… There are a lot of monsters out as of late. It could be dangerous," Compa told me as she stood up.
"Hey… We got plot armor. We will be fine!" Neptune smirked as she stood up.
"Yet, you suffered half amnesia. Nice plot armor," I thought and I swear I heard laughter in the back of my mind. I looked around and frowned.
"Yeah, anyway… Are you coming, Compa? I am taking Neptune with me regardless," I said. Compa nods her head and smiled.
"Of course. I wanna make sure you 2 are not getting into any unnecessary trouble," Compa told us as she walked over to us, "I ain't just a dainty flower…" She then opened her little hip fanny pack and pulls out a HUGE syringe from it. Neptune and I recoiled instinctively and scooted away from the syringe.
"Jesus, woman! That is huge! How do you fit that thing in your fanny pack?!" I told Compa.
"Trade secret," Compa smirked as she nods her head. I sweat dropped and blinked several times. I should mention… I have a severe discomfort for syringes. Looking at Compa's… I just can't. It makes me uncomfortable looking at it.
"Just breathe… You can get over it," I thought as I shook my head. I sighed and stood up quickly.
"All right, ladies… Let's move out," I told them as I helped Neptune to her feet.
"Adventure!" Neptune called as she looked at me and pumps her fist into the air. Compa did the same and we set out for Virtua Forest… Not before cleaning up our mess and locking up the house.

The 3 of us arrived at our destination, looking ahead at the entrance to the dungeon ahead of us.
"Wow… Looks kinda…" Neptune said as she scratched her cheek.
"Empty? Yeah. Compa, I thought you said the place was packed with monsters," I told her as I glanced at her.
"Hmm… This is weird. I was sure there were a lot of them when I first got here last time…" Compa said to herself as she rubbed her chin, "Wonder if they got scared off or something…" Okay, that might be a plausible answer. After what happened yesterday, I am sure some of the monsters are too scared to come out because of me. That kind of makes me a little relieved… A little bit.
"If that were the case, we better stay on guard. We might walk into an ambush," I said as I nodded my head. The girls nodded their heads and I walked ahead cautiously, calling forth Blood Bourne, my katana with the ribbon. Compa and Neptune followed behind me closely, Compa holding her syringe close to her and Neptune holding a bamboo sword in her left hand. She had picked that up along the way.
"Okay… If I remember correctly, the crater we made is straight ahead," I said as I looked ahead. The girls looked ahead as well and Neptune suddenly stopped. Compa and I looked back at her and she looked upwards.
"What?" I asked Neptune as I turned to her.
"Nothing… Just thought I heard something in my head. Let's keep going," she said as she shook her head and walked up to me. I eyed her curiously and nodded my head, brushing off the matter. Eventually, we made it to the clearing where I battled the herd of Dogoo and Dragon. The large hole in the ground was still there as well as the crater.
"So, this is where we ended up elegantly lodged to the ground," Neptune said as she looked up at me.
"Elegantly lodged to the ground? How does that even work?" I told Neptune as I stared at her and then looked over at Compa who was inspecting the hole in the ground, "Compa, don't stand too close to that. Who knows if it is stable." Compa stepped a few feet away from the hole and stared at the crater.
"That crater is big…" Compa said as she came over to us, "How did you survive this?"
"Saiyan biology? I don't know…" I said as I shrugged my shoulders, knowing full well the answer to her question, "Anyway, let's see… Got anything, Neptune?" Neptune closed her eyes and hummed to herself.
"Umm… No," Neptune said as she shook her head, "Sorry, Jamie."
"Well… Can't help it. Let's keep searching," I said and Compa suddenly cried out in shock.
"Compa?! Are you okay?!" Neptune called as she and I glanced over at her. She was losing her balance as the ground under her was crumbling away. She was actually near the hole again… This time, she was even closer to the damn thing!
"Compa! What did I just say?!" I called as I rushed over to her with Neptune in tow. Compa fell through the ground as it crumbled under her. I jumped in after her and so did Neptune. I grabbed both of them under my arms and hovered to the ground safely as the rubble under us crashed to the ground. I landed behind the rubble and set Compa and Neptune to the ground.
"Phew… Thanks, Jamie… Nep-Nep," Compa told us as she rubbed her forehead, "I thought I was a goner…"
"That was way too close, girl! I told you to not get too close!" I said to Compa seriously as I looked at her, "You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
"Sorry, Jamie," she said as she looked down, "I just say something down here… I just didn't know what." I sighed and nodded my head.
"Okay… Then, listen to me. You see something, you tell me. I can determine what is dangerous or not," I told her, "Otherwise, curiosity killed the cat… Get what I am saying?" She nods her head and I looked around.
"This place looks barren… Better go exploring. Might find an exit," Neptune told me as she looked at me, "Which way do we go?" Neptune is right… Which way do we go? Left or right? One way leads to that spider monster and the Key Fragment… The other leads to either IF or a dead end. Man, this is a tough one… We should search for IF first. That is what the game usually wants you to do… I think.
"Let's go left," I said as I point to the left of me, "Just have a gut feeling to go left."
"Okay. Let's move, troops!" Neptune called as she points her bamboo sword to my left or her right.
-Cue Marble Garden Zone From Sonic 3-
We trekked out to the left of the cave and moved through the dark cave. Then, I stopped as I heard a voice call to me. Neptune and Compa kept going and I turned around for some reason. The voice sounded familiar to me… But, why?
"Nep! Comp! Wait a sec!" I called to them. No answer. Shit…
"James… Come over to me… James…" a voice called to me and I saw a white light in the distance. The voice sounded clearer to me and I gasped in shock. The figure got closer and closer to me and I shielded my eyes from the light. When the light died down, I uncovered my eyes and stared at the girl in front of me. She wore a purple hooded cloak over a purple blouse and a short purple pleaded skirt with thigh high purple socks and shoes. She had short violet hair and blue eyes and pale skin.
"Raven? But… You're dead…" I said to her as I stared at her. She looked away and sighed sadly.
"Yeah, not really… My soul got brought here… When Mulina found me and decided to have me search for you…" Raven told me as she held my hand, "It's nice to see you, James… You look kinda scruffy with that beard."
"Yeah, well… It's kinda hard to shave it when it just grows back after 5 days. So, I decided to keep it," I told her as I rubbed my beard, "Wait! You know Mulina?!"
"Mmhmm… She kept me safe for years in her dimension. You are probably the only male she has ever had around her, though," Raven told me as she smiled and giggled, "By the way… I see you found Neptune. I am here to help aide you… Just a sec." She puts her hood on over her head and the light dimmed around her.
"There. Is that better?" Raven said in a clearer voice. I should explain this… Raven Hearts is Kitty's older sister who died of cancer around the age of 10. Kitty was devastated at the loss of her sister… So I helped her through the pain by always being around her. From that point on, Kitty and I became the best of friends… But, before Kitty… Raven and I grew up together.
"So… Do you have powers?" I asked Raven. She nods her head and held out her hands.
"To the Sages of Old… To the Monks Of Terra… Give us light!" Raven called and raised her hands to the sky. A flash lit up the area and revealed dozens of Pixelvaders, Visual Novels, and Gem Golems to us.
"Well… This might get hairy," I said as I held Blood Bourne out in front of me. Raven held out her hands and her cloak fluttered out behind her as if they were wings while her hands and eyes became snowy white.
"I think it is time to demolish some fodder!" Raven called as she glared at the multiple enemies, "I will provide cover. You hack and slash."
"Yes ma'am! Time to rock and roll!" I called as I charged at the enemies, "We will discuss this later, by the way!"

"Understood. Reverb Outlast!" Raven called as she held out her left hand. Several Pixelvaders were surrounded in the white energy from Raven's hands as I cleaved through a whole lot of them.
"Now… Twin Sword Arts: Nega Vice!" I called as I called forth a second katana with a black blade and blue ribbon tied to the end. The blades were imbued with black energy as I delivered multiple slash waves at my enemies. The slash waves cut through the enemies like butter and sliced them up into ribbons. Then, the Pixelvaders decided to clump together as I cut down several more Gem Golems.
"What are they doing?" Raven asked me as I glanced back at her.
"Looks like this just got somewhat harder. Get ready!" I told Raven as I got into an offensive stance. Raven hovered next to me and waited as the Pixelvaders morphed into each other. Then, they turned into a large rainbow glop in front of us. The glop morphs into a large dark crimson red Pixelvader that towered over the both of us. Both of us leaped back as the Pixelvader launched a large black ball of energy at us. We landed a few feet away from the explosion and looked at each other.
"This beast needs to be taken down… Otherwise, any other travelers that will come across this thing will be killed," Raven said as she held her hands at her sides, "James, can you distract the beast for about 2 minutes?"
"What do you have planned?" I asked her as I looked at her. Suddenly, her hands turned scarlet red and her eyes became pitch black.
"I am gonna use a powerful spell… But, it requires my target to be immobilized," Raven said as she clenched her teeth, "It also takes a lot of my power…"
"I got you. Just do what you gotta do," I told her as I swung my swords in circles at my sides, "Gator Hunt!" I flung my swords at the Pixelvader and they cut into the beast as I held my hands out in front of me. I was using some of my dormant psychic abilities that Mulina told me that she gave to me to maneuver the swords to cut into the Pixelvader. It roared and launched a beam of black energy at me from its mouth. It hits me head on and I sailed into the wall behind me. I pulled myself out of the wall and called my swords back to me.
"Ow, shit! That hurt… Looks like Fatass can cause a lot of damage. He is stronger than the dragon I fought yesterday…" I commented as I stabbed my swords into the ground and got ready to pounce, "Accel Blade Dance!" I pounced and raced at the Pixelvader at full speed, vanishing into thin air. The Pixelvader was crying out in pain as I delivered multiple high speed sword slashes to its body, not reappearing due to my velocity. I finally reappeared and skidded to a stop, tossing Blood Bourne into the air and kicking the handle, launching the sword into the Pixelvader's left eye. It screeched as it tried to remove Blood Bourne from its eye. I launched the other sword into the air (which I dubbed King) and kicked it when it came down to me, launching it into the other eye. I weaved some fast hand signs as it struggled to pull my swords out of its eyes, in which they were lodged deep within.
"Lightning Style: Electro Pulse!" I yelled as I slammed my hands into the ground. Twin blue lightning bolts rained down from the ceiling and hit the 2 swords stuck inside of the Pixelvader's eyes, electrocuting the beast from head to toe and incinerating its eyes. It was frozen in place from the millions of volts of electricity that coursed through its body as I charged up to it and leaped at its face. I pulled King from its right eye and stabbed it in the face again, causing it to fall over. I rushed over to Blood Bourne and pulled it from its left eye.
"It's ready!" Raven told me as I leaped from the body and landed beside her, "I curse you to the depths of hell! Accept this offering, Lucifer… Bane of Might!" A large red skeletal hand raised from the ground as Raven had her right hand raised above her. She clenched her fist and the hand grabbed the Pixelvader. I put my swords away and watched as the Pixelvader was being squished in the skeletal hand. It launched one last beam at Raven before it was completely crushed and turned into red binary code. I leaped in the way and took the brunt of the attack, forcing me to my knees. I panted as I held my right arm, getting back to my feet. That attack actually did a good amount of damage to me… If it would've hit Raven after she was finished with her spell… Thank god I was here.
"Here, hold still. I will heal you," Raven said as she placed her hands on my back. A calming white light surrounds me as my wounds healed gradually. My clothes had been taking damage as well… Holes here, a tear there… I learned how to mend them instantly. As I mended my clothing, Raven healed my wounds.
"Thanks… Now, we better get going. I got separated from 2 girls I was travelling with," I told Raven as I glanced back at her. She raised an eyebrow and frowned.
"Raven, it's not what you think… Calm down. Look, I will explain my situation to you, okay?" She nods her head and we walked through the dungeon, making sure not to bump into anything.
"I see… I mean, that would happen to only you," Raven smirked as she rolled her eyes, "Now, I should explain what happened to me. After my death, I was brought to her realm and was instantly resurrected into another person. Kind of like you, in a way… I am so sad that you died in a truck accident."
"It was heart wrenching, let me tell you… Watching Kitty and my mother cry like that hurt me a lot… I will never get that image out of my head," I told Raven as I put my hands in my pockets. Then, we heard some voices in the distance.
"You gotta be kidding me… You two are from the Guild?" a voice I instantly recognized called. That sounded like…
"Well, nice to meet you too. Jeez, you are so rude," another voice called as we got closer. I glanced at Raven and nodded my head.
"Be nice, Nep-Nep… Sorry, Miss Iffy. We aren't with the Guild… We just got separated from a friend. And, we fell into this cave," another voice called and I smirked. The 2 voices were definitely Neptune and Compa. The other must be IF... Raven and I went up to the group of girls and stopped.
"Nep… Compa… Didn't you 2 hear me call for you back there?" I told them as I folded my arms. Both girls looked back at me and gasped as they rushed me and tackled me to the ground, hugging me tightly.
"Jamie!" both of them called at the same time. I sighed and hugged both of them back. IF stared at me and blinked.
"Umm… This isn't what it looks like. We are just travelling together," I stated as I shook my head, "Yeah. Anyway, did you guys run into any trouble?"
"A huge monster attacked us… But, Nep-Nep changed forms and beat it up! We just met Miss Iffy…" Compa said quickly.
"Whoa there, motor mouth! One word at a time," I told her with a smile as I waved my hands in front of my face, "What monster are you talking about?"
"It was a big old spider monster!" Neptune told me as she shook her head.
"Yeah… That might pose a problem," I said as I rubbed the back of my head, "Wait. You said Neptune transformed… What did you mean by that?" Then, a loud roar filled the cave and the girls panicked as they hugged me again.
"Not agaaaaaain!" both of them yelled and I stood up with the girls holding onto me still.
"Jamie, what do we do?! That thing is probably looking for revengence!" Neptune told me as she looked up at me.
"We watch each other's backs. You! Can you lend a hand?" I told IF.
"I have a name! It's IF!" she told me as she brought out her weapons.
"Okay, IF… Get ready! This is gonna get hairy! Rae! Prepare for battle!" I ordered and Raven held out her hands at her sides again as they imbued a crimson red aura.
"Nep-Nep, you have to transform! It's the only way to beat him!" Compa told Neptune. Neptune nods her head and lets go of me.
"Hey, Jamie! Check it out, yo!" Neptune called as she was surrounded in bright light and transformed into Purple Heart, "All right. This will be easy. Bring it on, monster!" A large spider like creature with a man's torso lands right in front of us and roared angrily.
"Whoa! That is bigger than I thought!" IF said as she gritted her teeth.
"Yeah… I know. Here we go, ladies!" I called as I clenched my fists and activated my Demi God Mode, "All right, ugly! Time to tear you down!"
-To Be Continued…-
(That is the end of Chapter 2! A long one… And I have to point out a few things. The Raven thing… That was planned. She is one of the 3 OCs I have for my harem. The other 2 will come around the Leanbox and Lowee arcs… If you remotely know me, I like having my OCs kinda OP to an extent. I also like to add character to them as well… So, let me explain my OCs. He is rather rash and overprotective at times… But, is a genuinely good person. But, he is perverted… So, that kinda makes things awkward for his situation. Raven is more Goth… But, likes to express her feelings more openly than most Goths. Also, thank you to a reviewer for placing the time for me in the first chapter… I am not a math whiz, I am telling you straight. Anyway, there is one last thing… I am still in the process of the new Kill La Kill story so I will be busy these next few weeks! I promise to get more chapters out for you guys! Hopefully… As always, Sonik Out! A/N.)
Game Saved.
