Disclaimer: I don't own Blood, Ariel, Kleude, Rose, Bian, Nate,Aquilla, Pooly, Mari, Kleude's mother and Kleude's brother they belong to Tamsoft, I own everyone else though
Warning: A bit of cursing, violence
Pairing: One sided Ariel/Blood
Note: A funfact is that on the end of the stage you will go one on one with someone else of the cast, some like Ariel and Pooly(and also Rose and Aquilla) face the same character. Since there are three people travelling for this fic I'll go with a three on one fight with Blood's character
I will really have the gameplay term in this chapter(And some future chapters as well)
Story
"Adina Island huh…" said Blood looking at the map.
Kleude and Ariel looked at the map.
"Err where are we supposed to go?" Kleude asked.
"Dunno."
"Well we shall find out" Blood copied the map on a paper and put it inside his pocket.
There was a fork road in front of them.
"So where do we go spiky?" Kleude asked.
"The left side is a dead end" said Blood.
"Think there's anything?"
Blood shrugged his shoulders.
Ariel and Kleude headed for the left side, Blood rushing to follow them.
They stopped in front of a tall fish/human thing holding a trident.
"W-what is that?" said Ariel.
"A merman" Kleude deadpanned "Gees wartface did that old woman teach you anything other than cooking and picking herbs?"
"Kleude stop that!"
"Ohoho you really are ignorant then…"
"This coming from the guy with some weird thing inside his pants!"
Kleude's eyes widened. So she did saw him in his birthday suit. He assumed the old hag must be the one who undressed him back in that water city.
The merman approached the two so they had to stop their conversation.
"What do we do Kleude?"
"Attack him?"
Ariel bit her nails nervously as it went closer. She slapped the merman.
The merman flinched a little. Ariel decided to slap again, however before she could, he struck her with his trident.
She tried backing off away from the Merman.
Kleude sigh as the Merman faced him, punching the Merman on the face.
The merman flinched again before attempting to attack the cat, Kleude backed off before it managed to hit him.
Ariel decided to attack again casting water on the merman. However it didn't affect him.
"What are you stupid!?" Kleude yelled "Do you think water works on sea creatures?"
"S-sorry!"
The blonde snorted, kicking the merman on his face.
The merman attempted to attack him again, however Kleude decided to try his magic on the Merman, sending a wind blade.
It did send the merman back a little. The blonde approached him punching him.
The monster collapsed.
Ariel approached back, looking at the merman.
"Is he dead?" she asked.
"Probably."
"Gees you two, what are you up to?" Blood asked.
"Oh hello shorty, we just killed a merman" said Kleude.
"Don't me shorty!"
"Gees you are shorter than Ariel you know…"
"Shut up!"
Kleude giggled, patting the brunet's hair and walked off.
"I'm sorry Blood…" said Ariel "I'm sure you'll go past me soon…"
"Thanks Ariel…" said Blood.
The two ran to where the blonde went off.
At the end of the edge was a medal on the ground.
"Hey what's that?" Kleude asked, picking up the medal.
"So shiny…" said Ariel, taking the medal.
Blood looked at the medal "Hmmm unusual looking medals…"
"If it is medals, guess we can just sell it" said Kleude putting it on his pocket.
"…"
They headed off for the fork again.
On the way Ariel stopped, looking at where the waterfall leads to. The boys stopped to look as well.
Below them was another Merman and two gigantic turtles.
"Hey Blood can you look at the map?" Ariel asked.
Blood looked at the map. The two path are very close to one another.
He closed the map and jumped down, landing on one of the turtles.
Ariel stared not sure whether to jump or not.
Kleude ran to the edge also jumping down and landing on all four.
Ariel shuddered, since they went down, she should as well. Gulping, she jumped off.
Blood managed to rush and pick her up before she hurt herself.
However after picking her up Blood lost his balance and collapsed on the floor.
They looked at each other, he wearing a goofy smile while she went red all over.
He put her down to attack one of the turtles.
To his surprise flame came out of his fist as he pulverize the turtle, frying it to death.
"Turtle soup..." said Kleude.
"Like it?" Blood asked.
"No way, it tastes like mutagen."
After the boys disposed of each turtle, they faced the merman, surrounding him.
Ariel watched, her mouth drooling at Blood his tanned skin coming down with sweat.
"Hey wart help us!" Kleude yelled.
"Kleude… she had a broken ankle yesterday…" said Blood.
"Whatever, I almost drowned back then and we went travelling to find my home one day later Blood!"
Ariel frowned, she'll show that son of a bitch of a cat!
Limping to the merman, sneaking behing him, she tried to punch him on his head.
The merman collapsed, the boys backing off so he doesn't fall on them.
To make sure he was dead, Blood kicked him on the head.
"Nice work Ariel!" said Blood, giving her a pat on the back.
Ariel blushed, it was nice to have him praise her.
They continued their way.
The next area was a long tunnel with various dragons coming out of waterfalls and more merman.
"No hideous mermaids?" said Kleude.
"Nope, this island seems to be an all man island" said Blood.
"Wonder how they make babies..."
"My mom once said that if two couple loves each other than a stork will come and drop a baby down their front door."
"Have you ever been to a hospital?"
"I forgot what else happened."
"Gees you are as ignorant as Ariel in that department…"
"What department?"
"Never mind…" Kleude shrugged his shoulders.
They looked at one of the dragons attempting to snap at them unable to reach at all.
"So Blood think you can reach them with those stumpy arms of yours?" Kleude teased.
"Hey I am not stumpy!" Blood cried, rushing to attack the dragon.
Ariel watched while Kleude tried to hum. Talk about one temperament over his height…
Blood tried to punch the dragon, throwing a fire ball as well.
The dragon let out a roar before collapsing and dissolving.
"Score!" Blood cried, he turned to Ariel and Kleude "What's my reward?"
Kleude face palmed. Well he was determined enough…
Getting past with Ariel limping behind they are in front of a third merman.
"Ow my ankle…" Ariel groaned, kneeling down to rub her bandaged ankle.
"Oh Ariel need to change your bandage?" Blood crouched to look at the ankle and unwrap the bandage to rewrap another batch of bandage.
"Somehow I feel more skilled from this" said Kleude, looking at his hand, clenching in and out.
"You still look skinny" said Ariel.
"You are just as thin woman."
Ariel didn't know what to say.
"And Miss blue rat tail hair" the blonde, approached her, crouched down and poked her on her ribs "You are not spending the whole island doing nothing, while we have to beat up all those monsters!"
The girl frowned, why does he have to be so mean to her all the time? She will prove to him, his spiteful talk will bite him.
She struggled to limp to the closest dragon and tried to kill him, punching and kicking with her good leg, crouching down, gripping her injured leg so she doesn't collapse.
"Aren't you being a little hard on her Kleude?" Blood asked as the boys watched her trying to attack the dragon.
"Always so nice huh spiky?"
After quite a bit of effort she managed to kill the dragon.
After a lot of heavy breathing, she cheered. She managed to kill it without any help!
Kleude walked past her as she was cheering, when she realized she rushed to his direction annoyed at the infuriating cat.
They continued on, attacking one more dragon and merman.
The merman dropped a purple bottle.
"So pretty…"said Ariel.
She took the bottle, opening it. Inside was a sweet smelling clear liquid.
Blood opened his book about medicine.
"Ooo elixir" he said "If you drink this, you will feel revitalized!"
Ariel looked inside, drinking the liquid.
All of a sudden she felt rather energetic.
She decided to run, however she soon collapsed from her injured leg.
"Whadaya know it doesn't heal rat injuries…" said Kleude.
Just a bit forward was a one platform after another.
Ariel shook, she can hardly move with her injured leg let alone jump.
A Blood jumped to a platform, he turned back offering the girl a hand "Here, I can help you!"
"N-no thank you, I can help m-myself…" Ariel insisted.
As the boys continued their way up she struggled to climb but found it very difficult.
Blood returned to her spot, grabbing her hands, lifting her up.
Her heart began beating faster as he helped her to the top.
Once they arrived, Blood whipped out the map again.
"Gees both side leads to the same way" said the brunet, he shut the map grinning, turning to the left "If so we must head this way!"
He ran to that direction, the other two staring at each other.
"Think we should head to the right instead?" Kleude asked.
"We should follow Blood" said Ariel.
"You aren't reliable toadette, you only say that because you are crazy over him."
"I'm not crazy over him!"
She was left alone as the cat boy headed to the right. She didn't know whether to follow Blood or Kleude. But since Kleude is such a bitch she might as well follow Blood.
The area was mostly shallow water with tall rocks. She looked up at the tallest one to find a shining key, she tried to stretch her leg in spite of her injury but found she couldn't reach the edge of the rock.
"Hi woman!" went an all too familiar voice she hated.
She looked up to find Kleude on some platforms trying to keep his balance.
He managed to reach the top of the cliff, picking up the key.
"Oh and you better look down before you get another lame leg!"
Ariel looked down to find what looked like water men trying to attack her, shrieking she stepped on them, running away, jumping on top of a shorter rock.
The cat boy jumped down, following her.
She, jumped to a platform trying to keep her balance however her found it difficult and ended up clutching on the edge trying not to fall over.
Kleude jumped on the platform, standing on all four right behind her.
"Guess I have to help you huh" he said.
She looked at him, she wasn't sure what he was going to do to her. Attack her? But falling off might be even more painful…
He attempted to lift her, jumping off, throwing her to the edge however he ended up hitting his face on the wall, landing back on the lower ground, groaning at the pain.
She watched him as he tried to get back up for a while before turning away to find Blood in front of a bridge, groaning about a missing key.
"Blood!" the girl yelled.
"Oh Ariel!" the spiky haired boy went.
"Kleude found the key to the bridge!"
"Oh great! I was about to turn back to find where it was!"
Grinning he revealed an elixir in his pocket.
"Good thing the last enemy had one of these, we should have some now."
Ariel smiled, as he took out some glasses from a sack to pour the drinks.
"Hey I'm thirsty too!" Kleude yelled.
Both of them looked at the cross blonde all bruised up, looking almost ready to collapse.
"Ah Kleude there you are!" Blood yelled, waving his arms about.
The blonde snatched the bottle, looking inside.
There was still 1/3rd of the drink left. As the others sipped on the cup, he drank directly from the bottle.
Ariel thought to herself it didn't feel as revitalizing as the last batch.
After their drink, they turned the crank on the handle to lower the bridge.
Crossing the bridge, they were on a small island.
Right in the middle was a squat orange robot with glowing golden eyes.
"Target found" it's voice was high pitched and mechanical.
Blood opened one of his books "Strange… no info for something like this."
"Three targets" said the robot "Two human and one cat folk."
It looked at Blood "Gender-male, height-152cm, weight-50kg."
"Whoa!" went Blood.
The robot turned to Ariel "Gender-female, height-160cm, weight-44kg."
"I'm 44kg?" Ariel asked.
The robot turned to Kleude now "Gender-female, height, 165cm, weight-44kg."
"You're female?" Ariel asked.
"I heard that a lot" said Kleude, shrugging his shoulders "But alas last time I checked I am very male."
"Destroy all targets" the robot unleashed missiles from its shoulders.
All three ran in separate directions before the missiles struck them.
Blood ran behind the robot jumping on it's back.
He prepared to ignite flame from his hand when the robot managed to pick him surprisingly quickly for a robot that stumpy and throw him on the edge of the island.
The other two were between the robot, casting a spell on it.
When Ariel's water dragon beam struck the robot, a sudden spark appeared.
"Po-wer g-oing down to 70%..." said the robot.
Ariel wasn't sure what was going on but she decided to try again.
Sure enough the spark returned as the robot trembled.
"P…o…we…r 45 p…er…cent…" the robot approached her.
Ariel gave a squeal trying to run but collapsed from the injured leg as it rushed to her as she attempted another water beam, however she found all she could cast were a mini spray barely infront of her.
"Not so fast!" Kleude yelled, standing behind the girl.
The robot swung it's arm around the blonde, sending him flying.
Ariel screamed as it attempted to swung it's arm at her, casting on more beam in desperation.
To her surprise the robot stopped swinging as she squirted water on it.
The two boys were badly injured unable to fight anymore.
Blood was groaning on the ground, struggling to even move while Kleude turned himself to face the shorter boy.
"Blood…" he said.
"Huh?"
"I like you too…"
Blood turned his head slightly to smile at the cat.
The robot suddenly went into smokes, Ariel decided she should stop and tried to crawl away.
After the boys had a long rest, the sky turned orange.
Blood managed to get up to set up the tent and get out some instant food.
Ariel took out a tin of sardines, opening them, looking at the little strong smelling fish, taking one to nibble on.
Blood got out a little carton of milk pudding, eating it ravenously.
"That pudding looks good…" said Ariel.
"Want some?" Blood asked.
"Okay…" she scooped a small spoonful and tasted the pudding.
"So sweet…" she said.
He grabbed another carton of pudding handing it to her.
Kleude was watching them, eating some rice, amused at all this.
Tonight the boys slept inside the tent while Ariel slept outside.
"Maybe we should get a bigger tent" said Blood "We can't keep going in and out every time."
"As long as she's not right next to me!" said Kleude.
Blood let out a laugh, before going to sleep.
