zexion's point of view
As I swiped down my finger I looked over at Jake and (?). I began to log out before they looked over at me everything faded back to normal as I laid there on my bed. I started to take off my nerve gear to get ready to go to sleep because I had plans with Trust and it was going to be a long day so I wanted some sleep. Early the next morning I was woken up by someone knocking on my door. As I got up to answer it my eyes were droopy. I opened the door the light hit my eyes as I began to hiss at it. After a few seconds I covered my eyes to see Trust at my door. She had long black hair going to her hips, she was wearing a black shirt, and had black shorts on.
"Hiya Zex are you ready for our plans today" I scratched the back of my head and let out a sigh
"Yea I guess just please pay attention I don't like repeating myself" I told her to come in. I lived alone so I didn't have to worry about a lot of noise and distractions and I also didn't have to worry about other people. I lived far away from most people besides Trust. She lived a few blocks from me she wasn't that far. She came in she set her stuff down and started getting everything set up. As she set up I went into the kitchen and started to make some tea. I'm mainly a relaxed calm quiet type person. I made some for Trust and I went back to my room where she had everything set up
"What took you so long" she asked. I looked at her and offered her a cup of the tea I made for her
"I thought you might be a little thirsty so I made you some" she took the cup and started to act a little awkward as she stared down at it
"Thank you" she replied,
"So when do you want to start cause I'm ready whenever you are" She said as she looked at me
"Right now is good" I looked at her and gave her the bed while I laid down on the ground. We started to put the nerve gears on our heads and got situated as we both counted down 3...2...1…
"Linku starto" I accidentally slurred the word as everything around us turned black and colors filled the world I spawned back to the area where I last logged out. I looked around and let a sigh greaaaaaat so we never got each other's names and we don't know where each other's at. I was right when I said this was going to be a long day… I flipped my hood up and put my hands in my pocket and turned away from the cat siths territory and started to go to the fields. When walked I had inazuma by my side following. I looked down at him and petted him with a gentle smile
"Well at least I still have you to company me" he rubbed his head against my hand as I slowly stopped I felt his fur stick up and a small spark went off from his fur. My head jolted up quickly to see a cat sith about to get into a fight with at least nine salamanders and they were all at least level thirty-five it wasn't a fair fight. I began to walk towards them my hands in my pocket as I began to talk to them
"You know it's not fair to pick on one girl you should take me instead" After I had tried to protect the girl she yelled at me
"Shut up and get the hell out of here I don't need your help this is my problem not yours" I realized this voice and turned around to see the avatar it was Trust's avatar and above her name read Trist. I pulled my hood back to reveal my face as she looked at me she began to act like her usual self and yelled at me again
"How dare you leave me alone like that! You better make up for leaving me alone!" I let out a sigh as I walked in front of her and told her to turn around and run away on my mark. One of the salamanders walked forwards and laughed
"Oh so is your knight finally here?" I smirked and put my hand over my face. I laughed laughed a little as I then reached back and pulled my hood up. My smirk getting a bit bigger trying to make me seem crazy and intimidate them so we didn't have to fight
"Oh I'm nowhere near a knight in fact I only care about this girl because she's part of my race. That and I hate it when guys pick on girls…" I looked through them with my golden yellow eyes letting them know I'm stronger than them and they didn't exist to me. One of them took a step back as the strongest one stared right back me
"Oh that look in your eyes says you want to fight" he pulled out a claymore. I let out a sigh as I turned around to look at Trist
"Well it looks like I was unable to avoid this for us but please...stay ba-" the man swung his claymore down at me as I side stepped and dodged it. After I dodged it I put a foot on his claymore looking back at him with my hands still in my pockets
"Please I really don't want to fight, but if you continue you leave me no choice" I stepped off his claymore and began to walk towards Trist as I was interrupted and the salamanders surrounded me. This was getting annoying and I was close to snapping as I started to bounce around in place. I stopped as I saw one of the salamanders swing at my pet and before the swing got mid-way. I was already in the salamanders face my eyes glowing a golden yellow as I begin to growl and my voice raised
"I said I don't want to fight!" I brought up my leg kneeing the salamander in the stomach then doing a round house kick making him fly back into a tree. On impact the tree snapped in half. The salamander begins to recover and I threw a dagger straight into his forehead. As he bursted into data I began to guide the dagger back to my hand. I held the dagger in my hand back handed as I removed my other hand from my pocket. I took out another dagger and held both daggers back handed as I let out a sigh
"last warning I said back off" two of them charged me as I dashed straight between them in a blink of an eye I was already in front of another one that was behind the two. I swept his leg and I punched him down towards the ground driving my hand straight threw him. I looked over and saw one of the salamanders he ran by swing down at me as I rolled left and dashed straight at him I slid under his legs as I turned around throwing a dagger straight into the back of his head. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the leader run at me. I saw another salamander swing at me. I dodged it in time to get away and look at how many I've killed. I stood there facing six of them and took my two daggers sheathed them putting them back near my jacket's pockets. I put a hand on my hip and waved my hand side to side and I stood there glaring at them letting them know I'm being serious. A heavy armored one stepped up and started running I looked down and I clenched my fist. I pulled back my cloak to reveal nine daggers I pulled one off from the belt and held it in my hand. I went straight past the leader as there was a loud crack then a boom. The leader was cut clean in half and in the cut were sparks of electricity sparking off his body like crazy. I pulled out five daggers and threw them straight into the last five salamander's legs. They hit the ground laying there paralyzed as sparks of electricity went through their body's shocking them. Staring down at them I picked one up. I kneed him in the stomach then kicked him away like I did the first one. I pulled the dagger from his leg using my electricity like a magnet and he bursts into data. I walk up to the next one throwing the dagger I just got straight into his head. As I bend down and pick up the two daggers and puts them back onto my belt I stare down at the last three.
"If I let you go will you leave us alone?" all of them nodded as I pulled the three daggers out from their legs leaving them in yellow health. I put all nine daggers back on my belt, but I heard footsteps from one behind me
"You're so annoying just die!" I turn around taking the dagger by my cloak's pocket out blocking his strike as I then kick him in the stomach grabbing his face and slamming his head into the ground. He burst into data and the other two just started backing away. I glared at them and they finally ran off. Once the battle was over I put my dagger back into my pocket as I then turn to see Trist. But before I could say anything she slapped me across the face and left a red hand print that was on my cheek. She started to yell at me
"What the hell was that?! Coming in here acting like your big and bad!" I let out a sigh and I didn't know how to respond. So I just sent her a friend requests
"Trist please stop yelling its giving me a head ach" She just stared at me. The battle was finally over so now I could teach her a little along the way to the boss. She asked me questions to which I responded and gave her advice. She was a good fighter which surprised me. We went into a dungeon and this is when I got to see her actually fight. I equipped my weakest weapon which was a beginner's sword and we started going through slashing and killing mobs until we got to a mob that was really annoying. You couldn't get to close or they latch on and they start to destroy and eat your armor. I started to explain to Trist that she had to be careful, but before I could she went running at them she started punching them. They latched onto her and began to eat her armor away and before I knew it she only had two pieces covering her body. I had inazuma use some lightning magic to kill them as I started to approach Trist. She started flailing her arms at me
"D-D-Don't look at me!" I brought up my menu and gave her my starting gear she equipped and we began to move on. T
The boss was a weird one and one I didn't remember. It was a blue slime and an angel the angel had a spear and it was weird seeing a boss like this. It wasn't in the American beta so it surprised me. Trist ran in, but the ground was a little slippery due to the blue slime. We had to be careful because the angel would cast spells at us as we ran and started slashing at it. It would block all my attacks Trist jumped out of nowhere slamming her fist into the angel from behind. The angel hit the ground and bounced back up. For some reason the angel wasn't attacking so we decided to attack the slime, but it was weird why the slime was even here. We weakened the slime but something strange happened. The slime and the angel began to fuse together. I had a confused looked on my face and when it was done being fused it was a blue slime...really I thought to myself that this was such a stupid boss. I walked up to it and went to slash it, but it dispersed into fifteen blue angels. They were water elemented. I let Trist take on a few of them because they were pretty easy to kill. While Trist had a few of them I made Inazuma cast a lighting spell which killed almost all of them, but one the angel then started to get bigger as it got two health bars. I looked at inazuma and he knew what I wanted him to do. He let out a big spark of electricity which covered the whole area which was small. Trist's and I's weapons gained a buff which added lighting attribute to our attacks. Trist began to punch the boss and its health was going down fast. As it casted low water level spells at both of us we dodged it and began to attack. We finally killed it and Trist got the last kill bonus. She leveled up at least two times which was good and she got a rare drop which was even better. Even thought we had cleared the dungeon she had a confused look on her face. She turned and looked at me and asked
"Zexion what level are you?" That surprised me and I choked a bit. I stared at her it was against my nature to lie to a girl so I told her "I'm level one-hundred-ninety-five" her eyes went wide as I swept my finger down to reequip my daggers. We started to exit the cave which leads back to a mountain region.
"Let's go back to town and log out" I muttered to her. She nodded in confirmation and we made our way back to town and logged out. Everything went back to normal and we took off our nerve gear and relaxed a bit. It was at least three hours to midnight so I let her stay the night. She was okay with it and so was I. We were child hood friends so I didn't see a problem with it. Lying down she let out a yawn and started falling asleep. After she fell asleep I just laid there silently thinking to myself before finally falling asleep…
