The Camera pulls up to show Kazuma Bringing in a Plate of food to Ethan. Ethan himself has Made himself a Box to hide in with a Glowing crystal to look at inside. He Sets it beside the box. "Hey Ethan. Long time no see. Was just wondering when you will come out of that box soon. The girls are getting worried for you now." He says.
No answer.
Kazuma sighs as he sets the plate beside the door. It opens only for Ethan to just as Quickly take it inside.
'This is my big brother Ethan.' He thought to an Imaginary audience. 'He used to be really cool and Outgoing. But ever since that incident with the ghosts, the Arrow, and His fear of the dark, He Hasn't come out of that box He made for himself.' Kazuma explains.
'His wife and daughter visit him each day. But no such luck. The rest of the party has taken this as a chance to better themselves in mind and body. In hopes of that by doing so Ethan would have to courage to come out his box.' He thought as He picked up his Commissioned Katana.
'For me, Its honing my technique. For Megumin. Its making her Explodimg magic branch the most effective magic there is. For Darkness. Its honing her skills in swordsmanship. And for Aqua. Its getting her act together. She hasn't whined about alot of things in fact.' He thought as He Unsheaths his weapon.
'Well she still whines actually but it's becoming lesser and lesser.' He thought. 'Anyways for Izumi its hard to tell. She is definitely worried for sure. as for Eri. Her quirk has been Acting up from stress. Thank god that bow on her horn is able to contain it. I cant tell you how many times i've had a near Heart attack from it acting up.' He adds.
He Swung his blade as he breathed in and out. He felt his body toughen up a Bit from breathing alone. And when he accidently cut a Tree he made a Pretty big gash in it.
'I'm Planning on finding out who shattered his Crystal. And when i do i'll make them regret everything.' He thought as He swung upwards. That tree from before was now spilt in half.
He didn't seem to care.
Kazuma put his Weapon away and decided to call it a day.
"TAKE THIS!" Kazuma yells as he splits the manticore's Head from its body.
He Looked to see Megumin Twirl and Cut the head off a Griffon cleanly. Her outfit has changed a Bit. Her regular attire was still on. But now she wears a Skirt under her Shirt with Shorts under that. Her boots were refitted with Iron soles, Heels, and toes to add more kick to them. And her gloves were fitted with a Steel knuckle on her middle finger to add a bit more strength into her punches. She also wore some elbow pads with a Little spike on o that matched her knee pads. All of them red and dark brown themed with gold trim.
Darkness was tanking the damage from her shield and Swung her sword. Killing a Manticore.
Aqua meanwhile was Swinging her staff that was fitted with axe heads made of water. Thus killing a Griffon.
Kazuma Smiles ad He Twirled and Clicked his blade shut. The Manticore lunging at him fell to pieces.
He looked around and saw no more Manticores and Griffons. "Alright. Looks like we're done." He says.
Soon after the corpses were being hauled away in a carriage that Kazuma rented.
"So after this what should we do?" Kazuma asks. "I'm not sure." Megumin asks.
"We can try another quest. That could be fun." Aqua suggest. "Yeah. But it won't be the same." Kazuma Says. He thought about Ethan then.
'What happened to you dude? You used to get me to come out of my shell after that shit with that one girl. So why aren't you helping yourself?' He thought.
He sighs but relents when he finally gets into town. He Brought the carraige around back so the guild can begin harvesting the corpses. He Requests they give him two Griffon Talons and the skulls of the Manticores and Griffons when they finished. along with a bag of the feathers and Furs.
They eventually do and it cost him some monry but it was well worth it. "So Kazuma. I was wondering. Why did you want these pieces?" Megumin asks. "Well i remember Ethan Talking about how the rainbow pearls he has can grant life to Collected parts. Atleast for the green one. I thought why not make a chimera that is loyal to us?" He asks.
"What! That is such an unholy action!" Aqua yells. "Which is why you'll be blessing it. This turns the chimera into a Godly creature. Making it holy." Kazuma explains.
He Then Grabs his Brothers gloves. "I had my bro make these for me. There Corpse Manipulation gloves. He used these before when he was scamming a Corpse dealer in a world he was in. I just had him refine it." Kazuma explains.
"Well. Oh alright. I'll look this over just this once." Aqua sighs.
"Thank you." Kazuma Says as He Merges the Griffon Beak into the Manticore jaw. He Extends it and Makes a Few modifications by adding Monster alligator teeth as Well. He Finishes by adding two tusks that fold into the jaw under the lips. He Began Merging The feathers into and Under the fur as its been laid onto the Head.
"This will take a while so you can do whatever." Kazuma says. "Ok. But if you make an Undead i swear i'll kill you!" Aqua yells. "I wont. I hope."
Ethan stared at his Crystal ball. He made one and enchanted it to spy on Kazuma for the heck of it. Seems he is making a creature. When his Aura was unlocked Ethan lied about the gloves. It is his semblance that is doing the work.
Sómakinesis. The manipulation of organic matter. doesn't matter what organic matter as long ad its from a biological specimin. His semblance lets him Control everything about a Corpse. He can even enhance himself. But it is extremely painful. Its why Ethan told Kazuma about the gloves. So he doesn't hurt himself.
He watches as Kazuma forms a Neck for the Head to stand on. Four eyes for seeing. He Can't see it but Kazuma is clearly working on the Inside of the entire head.
He watched as Kazuma brought the head to a shed nearby. He watched as kazuma Set and attached the head to a Limbless horse body. He forms a long enough neck and creates two small brains at the side of neck where two arm like limbs are going to be.
Kazuma Makes the griffon talons bigger and More hand like. Then Creates a Long arm with it. He attaches the Arms and They come onto it seemlessly.
Kazuma Merges fur pelts together with featers and Scales collected from many animals and Layers it onto the Chimera. Then he suddenly tore it all down As he Scream in frustration.
'I should help. But. The scary world outside may try to get me again. No. You've been here long enough. Everyone is worried. But the scary things outside...' He thought in turmoil.
"Dammit! This is so hard!" Kazuma Yells. he Sighs in contempt and Begins.
He grabs the head and Decides to Rearrange the neck. He Attached two Flaps at the back that will flare up whrn ready to strike.
His Forms a Long snake like body and Adds A Giant rattler to the end. He Forms Yellow and Brown scales and Looks the Creature over.
He Adds an Organ to the throat to let it breath fire. Then a Prehensile tongue inside the mouth. He Removes the Rattler and Actually hides it in the Lizard flaps at the head. He Then Forms two Giant wings on the body. Right where the weight is distributed. He Adds two small arms onto it's front. He Adds long furs onto the wings and Makes them tougher.
He Looks it over and nods.
He Grabs the green rainbow pearl and Opens a Cavity where the heart should be. He Opens the heart and inserts the pearl. Then closes everything back up.
The Cadaver Rumbles and Jitters in place. The form glows green for a Minute as the main colors are Placed onto the creature. The Fur was a Molted black color intermixed with green and cyan blue. The Blue eyes stood out on its head. The scales turned bright green and More features started appearing.
The back grew out some spines that flap open for better steering, a Tail flap at the back grew out that folded for again steering. The Fur had also grown over the scales giving it warmth. Taking on the same colors as the fur from before.
Little spines on its sides grew out and Four more legs on the middle and Back Grew out. and in the Mane four long tendrils grew out. Two horns on its forhead pointing forward with one singular horn on its snout.
The Creature stood up and Stared at Kazuma. He Whimpered only for the creature to lick him. "AWE GROSS. Eww." He Chuckles. He Also pets the creature after it coughes out the Green Rainbow pearl.
He chuckles. "I'll call you Chimera." He says.
He Takes his gloves off and stores them away to lead the creature out.
"Blessing." Aqua casts. Chimera Gurgles happily as it snuggles her. "Awe! I love you two you widdle cutie!" She says as she hugs the snout.
"Its simply beautiful!" Darkness says. "I know. I'm Awesome. I made Chimera myself why thank you. Thank you very much." Kazuma gloats.
"Can I ride her!?" Eri asks. "Sure! once i finish up the saddle-" Kazuma stops. "Wait. How do you know its a Girl? I made it to be a Male." Kazuma Says.
"She's a girl." Eri says determined to be right. Kazuma was now confused and looked. He saw no genitalia to say otherwise. He looked up. "WAIT ARE YOU BLUSHING!?" Kazuma asks.
Chimera was blushing! She didn't seem to wanna look Kazuma in the eye.
"W-wha... What the hell..." He says.
Ethan Meanwhile Looked at the entire scene through the crystal ball.
'Looks like fun.'
Back with Kazuma and the group. He was having Chimera demonstrate her abilities. "Alright Chimera. Show me what you can do!" He says. Chimera Screes and Then Began to breath fire into the ground. The Fire was a Sickly green as the ground was clearly poisoned. the Fire then turns bright orange as Ice forms under it. The Ice was melted by the Blue fire and finally the fire turns into plasma as electricity fires out to shock the ground.
"Woah! That is cool!" Megumin says. Then Recoils in fear when Chimera uses her tongue to grab a Cart and Swallow it. Then she spits it out as a Melted mess.
"That's part of her digestive process. Inspired by how flies spit on their food before eating it. It'll be used for tougher materials thst she can eat like wood. Which is converted into fuel for her fire breath. The magic is what turns the fire into different things." Kazuma explains.
Her flaps open Up and she begins to Twitch her head around. A Rattling and almost hypnotic sound Was Being sent out. "That's how she can hunt her prey. Using hypnotic sounds in her flaps to attract her prey." Kazuma adds.
"That is so cool." Megumin says.
Chimera screeches and unfurls her masive wings. She immediately flys off for her magic to form around her. A Giant construct of a Green cone appeared in front of her and Covers her Wings, Tail, and Arms.
"That is actually a few moves from a game series i played. Its fun. That is called Dragon's charge. And she can use her multiple limbs seperately for their own attacks." Kazuma explains.
Chimera meanwhile Roars and Dive bombs a flock of birds to eat a Few. She then turns back almost as Quickly towards the next couple birds before turning back to Kazuma and landing besides him. He Pets her snout as Her Wings Suddenly sheds some Fur. Clumps of it fall to the ground as it is revealed there is Holes in her wings. A Feather pops out and Grows the furs back in. The furs weave themselves in with the rest of the fur.
"And that is Her way of Flight. Feathers mixed with fur that provide more air coverage." Kazuma adds.
"How did you manage to make all of this?" Darkness asks. "The gloves respond to what I think of and the rainbow pearl also adds some features to prolong this beauty's life." Kazuma adds.
Ethan meanwhile Sulks in his box.
"Emergency Quest! Emergency Quest! All able bodied adventurer's please gome to the guild hall immediately! The Destroyer is Near! I repeat the Destroyer is near! All citizens evacuate now!" Leena yells into the intercom.
After a few minutes all adventurers excluding Ethan have gathered. Eri was Told to stay home with Chimera for her safety.
"Thank you everyone who have all gathered here and put your lives at risk." Leena thanks.
"Okay here's the Intel..."
'This is bad. If Ethan was here he could help cripple the damn thing. But he's now petrified. I strapped his box onto Chimera's Neck just in case. Godzilla meanwhile is comforting him front inside. Eri is also with Chimera to escape with him if things go Bad. Dammit all this is scary!' Kazuma thought as he felt his blood pressure rise.
He and the rest gathered at the northwestern part of Axel to wait for the Destroyers arrival.
"Attention Everyone! The destroyer will Be Here shortly! Prepare for Battle!" Leena shouts out.
The Destroyer in the distance Put fear into the hearts of many of the adventurers.
Kazuma steals himself. "Megumin. Its time you try that move." he says. She gasps. "R-right!" She says.
Meanwhile Aqua summons her staff and Begins casting. "Sacred..." She starts as glyphs form. "...BREAK SPELL!" She yells as a Giant wave of magic is fired at the sheild. Severly weaking it when it was over. The red flashes indicating it was in terrible condition.
Megumim Slams her Staff into the ground and began to chant.
"The first law of creation is destruction, and the end result of destruction is creation."
The moment her words left her lips, a healthy amount of mana had gathered at her hand, forming a sphere, a protective bubble.
"The blocks of reality, atoms, gather before me. Smaller than a droplet in the ocean, yet stronger than the hardest metal, heed my command."
A tiny speck of light, almost imperceptible, formed in the center of the translucent sphere.
"Clash against each other at speeds beyond speed. Shatter and unleash all the energy that created you!"
The speck of light turned into a miniature sun, and the protective bubble began to ripple.
"BIG BANG!" Megumin yells.
The Minature sun Flew off into the distance. Right under the Magic shield. Then A Giant bright white pillar of light was Created. It Consumed the Destroyer Shattering the joints on its legs. Making it fall to the ground and its magic barrier shatter.
Megumin drops to the floor. The familiar feeling of being drained of her magic back again with a vengeance.
"Yeah! Way to go Megumin! You did it!" Kazuma Cheers. The Adventurers cheer.
Megumin smiles and Began to cry with tears of Joy.
"Warning. Destroyer Damage levels exceeding high levels. Initiating self destruct sequence. All crew members please evacuate." The destroyer intercom says.
"Crap!" Kazuma yells. A Screech from above is heard. He looks up to see, "ETHAN?!" Kazuma yells.
"What!?" Izumi yells.
Ethan himself was Standing on the back of Chimera. Who was flying with Eri in a Made up pouch on her neck made from His old box.
Godzilla Crawled up to his shoulder as Ethan had his arms crossed.
"Of All things to shake me loose it had to be you Megumin. AH HAH HA HA! I LOVE IT!" Ethan yells. Chimera circles atound the top and Suddenly turns to her side. Letting Ethan fall off. He Still had his arms crossed as He didn't care.
"Ready Godzilla?" He asks. "Hell yeah!" She shouts. He draws a Card and throws it ahead of him. It touches the destroyer and Suddenly a Meido Zangetsuha forms taking a Giant hole out of it. He spun as he threw Meido Zangetsuha cards all arounds him. Meanwhile Godzilla glowed and Fused with Ethan to make his Cat like features appear more pronounced. Blue flames following him as he landed.
The Meido Zangetsuhas activated and Most of the Destroyer was taken apart. Clearing a Path towards the core. Ethan Walked over and Pulled out a Card. "Meido Zangetsuha. Requiem." Ethan casts. A Giant Beam of black energy shoots out and Engulfs the Koronatite. And Whatever was behind it as it was Traveling at light speeds. He Holds his hands out wide as Godzilla Unfuses to run off.
"Oh its been to long since i did this. Molecular deconstruction." Ethan casts.
As soon as Godzilla got out of range the entire area around ethan in a 20 acre radius and enough to get the rest of the destroyer. The meido'ed parts had been teleported above and fell down to be caught as well.
"What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!" Kazuma Yells. The destroyer was Torn apart molecule by molecule into just a Swirling storm of dust. A Giant crater under his floating platform formed from the ground being torn apart.
Ethan Spun on his heel to twirl. He Raised his hand and the dust follwed it as he waved it around. Slowly compressing itself into igots, Rocks, and Other things. He Twirled again as he Finished and Refilled the crater below. The ingots Flying around him and then into his Sack of holding. He Finished with his hand Slamming onto the sack. The platform having been Dropped to the ground.
"Oh how i love this move." He cheers before His Heart began to slow down. "Crap not again." He says as he fell to the ground.
And scene. I wanted to focus a bit on kazuma here. He may get his own story, Who knows.
