Acallaris: Heya everyone, Acallaris here bringing you guys a Arc that most of you requested!
Neptune: Well what is it Acky? Come on don't keep the people waiting!
Acallaris:…Did…Did you just call me Acky?
Neptune: Yeah I did! Since I can't remember your name I'll just call ya Acky!
Acallaris:….i'll roll with that
Neptune: Now, tell us, what Arc is this one going to be?
Acallaris: Well, after getting some request, there were two Arc ideas that everyone wanted the most, so I'm deciding that for the next two Arcs, I'm going to use those ideas, starting with second to most popular idea
Neptune: Which was?
Acallaris: Well see for yourself! Let the Arc begin!
"Damn it, I knew it was a bad idea to stay out so late" A familiar boy walked through the dark forest, "Where was that hotel?"
The boy walked through the dark forest, all he could hear were the sounds of Mobs that came out at night, they sounded as if they were EXTREMELY hungry and haven't eaten anything in months
"I don't think it be a wise idea to eat me" The boy summoned a sword, "Unless you want the taste of your own blood in your mouths"
"Turn around…" A pair of giant footsteps came from behind the boy, "Turn and face you're destiny…"
"Hu-" The boy turned around only to stumble back in shock, "What the? Is that a-AAAAHHH!"

The Guardian Arc Chapter 1:….Did the timeline screw up?
Tamazaki's Perspective
(10-80p Forest, 12:00 Noon)
[Party Members: Tamazaki, Alex, Neptune, Nepgear, IF, and Compa]
[Mission Objective: Round up 12 Metal Dogoos and bring them back to the Guild]
"Aww man, I'm beat!" Neptune flopped onto the ground and sighed heavily, "Iffy, could we please take a break, we've at this for hours!"
"We haven't found a single Dogoo Iffy" Compa sat down next to Neptune, "I'm starting to think we won't find any…"
"Dogoo usually hide in very dark places" Nepgear said, "And we've checked all the cave systems In the area and still haven't found a Dogoo at all..."
If you haven't caught the gist of what's going on, then let me explain the best I can. The six of us were assigned a mission to bring back all the missing Metal Dogoo that fled to 10-80p Forest, apparently from what we were told, when it was time for them to be bathed, one of the Dogoo latched on to the person who was going to clean them…also, that person was a female.
"I guess we can take a breather" IF sighed, "Kind of wish we found at least a trace of one of those Dogoos…"
"By trace, you mean scraps of metal" I said, "And by scraps of metal, I mean their-"
"TMI T!" Neptune covered her ears
To be completely honest, I haven't really seen anyone else from the other nations ever since Alex woke up from his coma, which was over 3 Months ago, I kind of wonder how they're all doing right now
"Excuse Tamazaki? Alex?" Nepgear snapped me out of my thoughts, "I've been meaning to ask the both of you something"
"What is it Nepgear?" Alex asked, "Is it something really important?"
"Well, Histoire told me that it's common for people to have two names from where you come, sometimes even a third" Nepgear said
"Two names?" Alex snapped his fingers, "Oh! You must be talking about our First and Last names!"
After hearing "First name" I immediately groaned, I seriously didn't want to tell them what my first name was, I hated it because whenever someone said it, I would be forced to always remember the horrible childhood that I had.
"Yes that's it!" Nepgear said, "Do you mind telling us what you're last name is?"
Alex looked at me, all I did was fall onto my back and gave Alex a signal to tell them, I could already tell that as soon as the last name rolled around, I was going to have some explaining to do…
"Well…my name…" Alex said, "My Full name is Alexander Donavon Tamazaki"
Yup, I called it. As soon as Alex said "Tamazaki", everyone had turned their heads towards me with very confused looks. I sat up and looked at them
"Uhh T?" Neptune said, "Is there something you wanna tell all of us?"
"The fact that I hate my first name?" I responded, "If that wasn't the response you were looking for, then I don't know what was to be honest"
"Oh come on Tama! You don't have to be so grumpy!" Compa put her hands on my cheeks and forced a smile, "You can tell us!"
"I'm pretty sure there won't be any consequences if you do tell us" IF said
"Yeah Tam-Tam!" I could see Chibi Silver appear on Alex's shoulder, "Do it for the team! No one will criticize you…I think"
"Gee, thanks for the inspiring words Sis" I said in a sarcastic tone before sighing once again, "Alright, my Full name is Trenton Tizius Tamazaki"
"Whoa! So you're a triple T?" Neptune asked
"You can say that…I guess" I responded, "But just because I've told you my actual first name, just keep calling me Tamazaki, I don't wanna be reminded of my childhood"
"Did something happen?" Nepgear asked
"Uhhhh…." Both Silver and Alex looked at each other, "nothing happened at all!"
Before anyone else could question my life, an ear screeching roar reverberated throughout the whole area. The 6 of us covered our ears until the screeching stopped, when we were sure that it stopped, we saw a pillar of fire erupt from deeper into the forest
"Does anyone else see that?!" Neptune pointed up at the pillar, "Someone is putting on a circus show in the forest!"
"Neptune, think about what you just said!" Alex Slowly turned and looked at Neptune
"What kind of monster is able to create a pillar of fire that big?" IF asked, "Seems pretty weird if you ask me"
"Then what are we standing around here for?!" I got up on my legs, "Let's see what type of pyromaniac is doing this!"
The 6 of us made out way over to the source of the fire, eventually we made it and came across a sandy-like field, and standing in the middle of the field was a…ancient…dragon…oh god no
"I'm having flashbacks!" Both Alex and I said
The ancient dragon didn't look like any old dragon at all, for some reason, it was shadow like and had a dark aura around it, just looking at it for a short amount of time is just asking for a nightmare
Behind the Ancient Dragon, a boy was perched up against a tree, he looked like he was injured but yet he was still conscious of his surroundings. After taking a closer look at the boy, he sort of looked familiar to me…how could he look familiar? I don't know the answer to that
"GRAAARRRR!" The Shadow Dragon let out another ear screeching roar
"Hey buddy, could you keep it down?" Neptune accidentally alerted the dragon of our presence, "We've got really important things to do!"
The dragon heard Neptune's voice and turned around I towards us, all I did was bonk Neptune on the head while everyone else gave Neptune and disapproving stare, especially Compa, her stare was basically saying "No Pudding for you after we're done"
"Nice going idiot" I said, "You ruined the chance of getting a surprise attack"
"Well, as long as the Dragon doesn't attack us first then we should be fi-" Nepgear was suddenly interrupted when the dragon lunged at us
[Vs (Shadow) Ancient Dragon]
[Luth's Scouter info: Level is unknown, it's moves are….also unknown except for Something called "Shadow Roar]
[Silver's Advice: I've never seen something like this before! Try attacking it's tail and see where that goes!]
[Play Witch of Ice – Team Nekokan]
[Battle Start!]
The Ancient Dragon knocked the 6 of us into each other, we all laid on the ground, a bit dazed by the impact…also, if Compa's chest was any closer to my face then Something tells me that her sweater was be covered in blood
"Damn it, what's with the instant karma?!" I tried to move everyone off of me, "Guys could you please get off of me? It feels like a sumo wrestler is sitting on top of me"
Everyone quickly shuffled off of me, we all quickly got up and looked at the dragon, it's eyes were locked onto both Alex and I, which only meant that the thing was already aggroed on us.
"Tam, Al, you two act as decoys for the dragon" IF summoned her quatars, "Nep, Gear, Compa, and I will handle the rest"
"Become decoys?" Alex looked at me before summoning his staff, "This really sounds familiar all of the sudden"
"Yeah, I agree" I said
I tapped my right arm, when I did, it was engulfed in a light and my normal human arm was replaced by a titanium metal arm. I cracked my knuckles (it doesn't really hurt) and faced the dragon.
"Hey you!" I waved at the dragon, "How to train your dinosaur was better!"
For whatever reason, that set the dragon off. My legs immediately knew what to do as I took of running, the dragon was chasing after me, trying to tear my limbs off. In the corner of my eye, I spotted Nepgear in her HDD State aiming for the dragon.
I quickly turned around and jumped up, when I was in front of the dragon's face, I charged a punch and released it on the dragon, this caused the dragon to fall on its back and land in Nepgear's line of sight
"Take this!" CPU Nepgear shouted
Nepgear fired a laser from her Gunblade, this hit the dragon and sent in flying through a couple of trees, and since this thing is massive, it practically just made the battlefield 2 times more bigger than it usually is.
"Never mess with us!" I say
I probably shouldn't of said that to completely honest, as soon as I did, the dragon flew up in the air and attempted to land on me, I could tell that things were going to end very badly.
I dived out of the way of the dragon, when it landed, it basically made a earthquake happen, which seems to be a common theme for all these enemies that we fight…weird.
"Hey Dragondead!" Alex called out, "How about you show us some of those "mystical" powers that you have?"
…His cockiness is getting out of hand I swear. The dragon turned to face Alex, it let out what looked like black fire, but at the same time, it looked as if it was just black smoke…well, at least that's what I thought it was
The smoke ended up morphing into a pillar of fire that went straight towards Alex, who rolled out of the way just in the nick of time. Alex looked up at the pillar of fire in shock, From his expression, he was imagining what would happen if he didn't move at all.
Suddenly, IF ran past me and straight to the Shadow Dragon, she moves very quick from what I could tell, so trying to hit her would be a very tough task. The dragon tried to crush IF with its hand, but failed terribly. Instead of getting crushed, IF simply ran onto the dragon's arm and stabbed it in the eye, causing it to release another road that reverberated through the area.
"Alright Nep, do it now!" IF shouted
"You got it Iffy!" Neptune responded, "32-bit mega blade!"
I looked up in the sky to almost have a heart attack, what I saw was a giant blue holographic sword appear in the air. I looked back at Neptune to see her holding her hand up to the sky, eventually, she pointed at the Shadow dragon in a "Objection" pose. The sword crashed down onto the dragon, causing a mini explosion.
I got up and looked around at everyone, we were all tired out, and by the looks of it, the dragon wasn't even close to dying at all. As I was thinking of something else to do, I suddenly heard Compa's voice from a distance.
"Mr. Bryce where are you going?" Compa called out, "I'm not done stitching you up yet!"
Before I could turn my head to see what was going on, the boy who was perched up against the tree earlier ran past me, he was carrying a sword that's design liked very unique.
The boy then split himself into….two more versions…of himself? Words cannot describe how confused I was when I saw this, I was literally looking at three versions of the same person! Was Neptune actually right about the circus act?
"Here we go!" The boy shouted
The clones started to hack and slash at the ancient dragon, they looked like they were actually doing damage to the thing! After some time, the one of the clones started to glow before jumping in the air and performing the final blow on the beast.
[Battle End]
[Tamazaki Leveled up!]
[Tamazaki learned a new SP Skill: Meteor Crash]
[Neptune Leveled up!]
[Nepgear Leveled up!]
[Alex Leveled up!]
[IF Leveled up!]
[Compa Leveled up!]
[Music Stops]
"U-uh…what?" Alex was lost for words
"Did he just…split himself into 3?" Nepgear asked
The two extra clones then disappeared, all that remained was one, who was presumed to be the original. The 6 of us walked up to the boy as he stretched.
"That will teach you not to jump me in the middle of the night" The boy said, "Damn Dragons, always coming out of nowhere and-"
"Hey you over there!" Neptune shouted for no particular reason, "Are you a magician or Something?"
"The first thing you ask someone who just killed a dragon is "Are you a magician?" I couldn't help but give Neptune a slow clap, "I seriously want to know what's in that kind of yours Neptune"
"Oh please T, you already know what's in there!" Neptune said, "It's filled with "CONFIDENCE"
"Neptune, please don't reference Gundertale" Nepgear said, "The last time that happen, someone hurt Alex really bad…"
"I kept asking for Mercy!" Alex said, "But they kept on Fighting me!"
"Uhh…can I say Something now?" The boy caught our attention
"Sorry about that, the 4 of them get off topic a lot" IF said, "It's the same thing every conversation…"
"Well, it is Neptune and Nepgear" The boy said, "They're both pretty random from my perspective"
We all went silent, how does he know Neptune and Nepgear, by the expression on the Nep Sisters faces, they looked like they've never met him in their entire life.
"Whoa there buddy!" Neptune started to ready herself, "How in Gameindustri do you know that Nep Jr. and I are extremely random? You stalking us bro?"
"Mr. Bryce, are you stalking Nep - Nep and Ge – Ge?" Compa asked him
"Stalking them? Hell no!" The boy defended himself, "I just know them from my dimension, just like how I know both you and IF!"
"You're dimension?" Alex said, "You mean…your not from this dimension?"
"No, I'm not" The boy shook his head no, "I'm Bryce; Bryce Bridged, nice to…re-meet you all again? Except for you two"
For some reason, the name Bryce sounded very familiar, along with the name Bryce, I could hear the name "Steven" in the back of my head for whatever reason, I could also see a…battlefield, with all of these familiar looking people….wait, why do I see Garland?
"Oh! I'm Alex!" Alex introduced himself, "And this is my older brother, Tamazaki"
"Alex and Tamazaki huh?" Bryce said, "Feel like I've heard those names somewhere before, but I don't really know where"
"Hey! You're forgetting about me!" Silver popped out of nowhere, nearly giving everyone Heart failure, "You can't forget about your older sister!"
"Calm down chibi" I said, "That's our older sister Silver…don't ask why she's a chibi, it's a very long story"
"I-I see" Bryce was a little weirded out but seemed completely okay with it, "Anyway, thanks for helping with that dragon, it sort of got a jump on me while I wasn't looking"
"No problem Bry!" Neptune said, "After all, it did give us a chance to see some awesome magic tricks!"
"Neptune, he's not a magician" I told her, "He's literally the same age as Alex, he's too young to be a magician"
"He may be young, but he's mature!" Neptune said, "Seriously T, how could you compare such a chick magnet to a adorable little hamster like your brother?"
"…I don't know how to feel about that" Both Alex and Bryce said
While we were talking, we all couldn't help but stop when we heard some squishing sound. The 7 of us turned around to see a sight that would scare any girl in Gameindustri
"Dogoo Stampede!" Bryce shouted
"Are those the Dogoo that we were looking for?" Nepgear asked
"Why are there so many?" Compa asked, "Didn't they say that we had to find 12?"
"I think they might've had a early mating season!" Neptune said
"Who cares! Let's get out of here!" I shouted
[Mission Completed!]
[Prize: 20000 Credits, Broken Sword hilt, Jersey Dress]
[Bryce has joined the party!]
Acallaris: And so, the chapter is finished! Sorry if this was actually shorter than what I usually write!
Tamazaki: So the Guardian Arc is what you decided to start with
Acallaris: Yeah, along with it being the second most requested Arc, I kind of promised Bryce's author that he would get his own arc
Tamazaki: So…I'm guessing there's going to be another filler Arc after this?
Acallaris: You're making it sound like I'm saying this Arc is filler!
Tamazaki: Isn't it?
Acallaris:….Shut up
Anyways, after this Arc ends I'm going to be doing one main story Arc, and then do the "Recreation Arc", since a lot of people want a whole Arc increasing everyone's relationships with each other (I agree that this is a very good idea!)
Anyways, what's the next Arc going to be about? Well it's only chapter 1 of the Guardian Arc, so you'll just have to wait and find out!
Anyways guys, I'll see you all next time!

They're actually making a Four Goddesses Online Game? No way, your messing with me, aren't you?
Nepgear: I didn't think I looked like that! Oh Goodness, I feel really dirty now…
