Fable: "Finally got around to posting this. Sorry about that. I'll just post the full story in one shot. Now some of you might be thinking, didn't you already do a Tattletail/Arc-V crossover? Well, yes. Yes, I did. But this crossover is a bit different so please enjoy!"
Level 0: Let The Game Begin!
"...and I promise you it's 100% safe!" Fable continues with a smile. "I just need someone to test for bugs and the like. I would ask my siblings, but they're all busy. And I have no idea where Angel is." Sitting in front of Fable were two people. The first one was Ray Akaba, the daughter of Leo Akaba and the original owner of the Dimensional Bracelets. The second was Zarc, the Demon Duelist of the Original Dimension, but he had long since gave up the title ever since he was resurrected.
"Not that I mind testing some of your creations, Fable, but...can't you test it yourself?" Ray asked.
"I could." Fable admitted. "But I'm also the only one who knows how the machine works so if something were to go wrong, I would have a lot of difficulty getting out. Plus..." Fable taps her pointer fingers together, shyly looking down at the ground. "...I'm really bad with horror games."
"Bad with horror games? But don't you write horror stories?" Zarc asked, raising an eyebrow.
"And don't you base those horror stories off of horror games?" Ray added.
"W-well, you see..." Fable stammered, her face redden. "Those games the movies are based on? I don't exactly play them myself. I...actually go on DuelTube and watch other people...play the horror game..." Ray and Zarc blink slowly at this young girl in front of them.
She was known as the protector of the Gacha Realm (at least until her Creator returns), but was a complete scaredy cat when it came to horror games and movies.
"Alright then." Zarc said, standing up from the couch. "Weird flaw, but sure. I'll help test it out. Not sure if Ray would want to help though."
"Excuse me? What is that suppose to mean?" Ray asked with a sharp look. Fable swallows nervously, already sensing the tension between the two.
"Didn't you hear Fable? She only has one game ready for the VR system-"
"A-actually, it's called VRSVS..." Fable pointed out, but her words went unheard as Zarc continued.
"-and Tattletail is literally about demonic toys trying to murder you."
"Are you saying I can't handle horror games?" Ray accused, standing up to face Zarc.
"Ray, I know you can't handle horror games." Zarc said with a knowing smirk. A smirk that said he knew exactly what he was doing and damn be the consequences.
"Oh ho ho! It. Is. On!" Ray punctuated each word with a jab of her finger. She turned back to Fable with a sweet smile. "Fable, where is this machine of your's?"
Fable led the way through her manor, getting into a silver elevator. There was no buttons on the elevator. You didn't need them. Fable's home was a very special home, being created by her own hands. As long as you had a clear picture of where you wanted to go, the elevator would take you to that room.
When the doors open up, the play testers realized that they were in a room they didn't recognize. In the center of the room Ray and Zarc spotted a machine that looked an awful lot like the Arc System, however, at the bottom of the machine were two pod shape beds. On one side of the room was what looked to be a control panel with numerous buttons, dials, and levers as well as many blank computer screens on top.
"This is it! The Virtual Reality Solid Vision System! Or VRSVS for short!"
"So this is the machine that's gonna bring the game to life?" Zarc asked.
"Yup! Since Solid Vision brings life to the Duel Monsters, who said it couldn't bring life to other games as well?"
"Well, let's get this show on the road. What do you need us to do?" Ray question. Fable walked over to the pods and pressed a red button on the side. The lids to the pods slowly open with a hiss.
"I'm just gonna need you two to lay down and put these helmets on." Connected to the inside of the pods were white helmets with a black visor. Ray and Zarc did as they were instructed, fitting the helmets onto their heads and lying down.
"Oh, wow. This is surprisingly comfy." Zarc said, stretching out in the pod.
"Of course! I wouldn't want anyone to be uncomfortable while playing!" Fable exclaims, rushing about, making sure everything was in order. "Alright now. We're ready to begin! But just remember, if you guys need a break or you feel like something isn't right, just call for me."
"Call for you?" Ray repeated.
"I'll be watching your progress on the monitors back here." Fable waves her hand over at the computer screens. "So I'll have my eyes and ears on you both at all times."
"Alright. I guess I feel a little better about this. Especially since Zarc is coming with me." Ray murmurs as the pod closes her in.
"Awww, do I make you feel safe, Rayray?" Zarc cooed.
"No. I'm just gonna take immense satisfaction in your screams of horror."
"Uhh...excuse me, but if anyone is going to be screaming in fear, it's gonna be you."
"Says the guy with a fear of Barbies."
"Barbies aren't the problem! It's those...'other' ones..." Zarc shivers, thinking of those life-like dolls with their giant eyes and robotic voices. As the two continued to bicker, Fable took a seat in her computer chair and rolled over to the control panel.
"Select game...Tattletail" Fable mumbles to herself as she selects the settings from her computer. "Player 1...Zarc...Player 2...Ray...Game Start!" Fable shouts as she presses a glowing green button on the panel. Zarc and Ray's eyes fall shut as their minds are transported to the game of Tattletail.
