I do not own Destiny or Rising of the Shield Hero
Right now the votes between which story I'll do next is too close so for the moment I'll do a chapter of each story at a time. First it will be this one, then a new chapter for effected destiny then the other two stories.
The Shielded Spear
My name is Drake, I am a human, I am a Titan but most of all I am a Guardian! For the last three hours I have been fighting hive on the moon with a fireteam of four, two hunters and one warlock. I had just unloaded my last shotgun blast when I saw a hive knight behind one of the hunters with its sword raised. Running forward I drop my shot gun...my ghost Lily holstering it as I went. When I reached the knight I immediately started grappling with it, but suddenly in a flash, my surroundings changed from the moon to a dark room full of people and a spear appearing in my hand. Taking advantage of my surprise the knight breaks my grip and with a howl, swings it's sword down at me. Stepping quickly to the side the sword misses me entirely and digs into the tiled floor, I then thrust my new spear into its chest before kicking it off and crushing its head beneath my boot.
Turning to face the surrounding people I ask in a voice that expects to be heard
"Where am I, who are you and how did I get here!?" I demanded
"Please sir Spear Hero please hear us out. You see our world is under attack from pure evil and the Cardinal Heroes are our only hope of salvation!" said a man in robes
"And what's in it for us?" asked a boy holding a sword like it was a toy
"Yeah, you summon us here against our wishes and you can't expect us to help you out for nothing." said a child with a bow
"Hang on we should..." said a boy holding a shield before being interrupted
"Please save all your questions for the king, he is very eager to meet you all. said the same man from before
As we left I looked over the other three Cardinal Heroes? Is that what they called us? Those with the sword and bow seemed way to sure of themselves despite being completely new to combat. Their stance, the way they carried their weapon and everything about them screamed rookie, but the one with the shield...he seemed promising. Unlike the others, he seemed more interested in trying to help and less eager to take advantage of the situation, but maybe that's me being biased towards him, after all, he does carry a shield and everyone knows that Titans are the shields of humanity.
After a short distance, we reach a throne room with a man sitting on the throne who could only be the King.
"Welcome Heroes of Leg..." stopping mid-sentence his eyes widen in shock as he gazes at what can only be called a warrior from an ancient legend 'His armour is so big and thick! With him as our Spear Hero our kingdom will surely be saved from the coming calamity.'
Naofumi's POV
It had been quite a day for Naofumi, funny to think that it all started with him reading a light novel and then suddenly he is transported to a strange room surrounded by strange men and 2 other guys that look like they were around his age. However, any thoughts he would have had were gone as what he could only call a Knight fights and defeats a nightmarish monster. From there they are all taken to a throne room were the king seems shocked by the man in armour...not that he could blame him.
After the king regained his focus the continued to speak "I Aultcray Melromarc the 32, king of Melromarc and I welcome you to my kingdom! Please introduce yourselves."
The guy holding the sword stepped up first "Ren Amaki, 16 years old, high schooler."
The Knight stepped up next " I'm Drake, Titan Class."
Then bow "I suppose I'm up next, Itsuki Kawasumi, 17 and a high schooler."
Then I step up "And I am.." before being rudely interrupted
"Ren, Drake and Itsuka." spoke the King before being interrupted
"Excuse me your majesty but you have forgotten one of us as from what I understand four of us were summoned not three." said Drake
Sending a grateful look to Drake I step forward "My name is Naofumi Iwatani, 20 years old and a college student." I said
"Now that is done I would like to explain why we have summoned you here. You see there an ancient prophecy of apocalyptic proportions, the prophecy, as far as we can tell is about seven 'waves.' During these waves the sky will darken and monsters of various strength will fall from the sky and I will not stop until the leader or champion of each wave has been defeated." lowering his head the King continues "The first wave occurred before you were summoned and it nearly destroyed us, if it wasn't for the combined efforts of our soldiers and multiple adventurers we wouldn't be standing here. With each wave becoming harsher than the last leaving no doubt that the Cardinal Heroes were needed if we were going to survive the upcoming onslaught. The Dragon Hourglass, an ancient and mysterious device is the only thing capable of telling us when a wave is about to hit and from what we can tell we have less than a month to be ready for the next attack. So Heroes I ask of you, will you please save us from the upcoming destruction?"
"We get the gist of it now, but surely you don't expect us to save you for free?" Asked Ren
"Of course, once you repel all the Waves we shall reward you handsomely." said a man who honestly reminds me of a weasel
"Very well we will work with you, but don't think you can own us." Continued Ren
"Exactly, we can't have you looking down on us"! finished Itsuka
"ENOUGH!" shouted out Drake as slammed his spear on the ground releasing a pulse of energy "You can either be immature children or be the heroes you are pretending to be. Your majesty...this may not be my home and these may not be my people but a life is a life and I will gladly lend you my strength."
"Then behalf of my Kingdom I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hero's you should all check your statuses." said the king
"Uhh?" I ask in confusion
"What's wrong with you guys? It should have been the first think you noticed in this world." said Ren
"Don't you see an icon in the corner of your field of vision?" Asks Ren "Try focussing on it."
I do so and a bunch of information pops up
"Level 1 that's worrying." I said
"Yeah it's going to be hard to fight as we are right now." said Itsuka
"This is known as status magic, an ability unique to the heroes." said the king
"So what are we supposed to do?" Asked Ren
"You must leave on an adventure to develop and upgrade the legendary weapons you have equipped!" said the king
"So these weapons are at their weakest right now?" I ask
"Is there any reason why we can't use other weapons until these ones are improved?" asked Drake
"I'm afraid not." said the king "The weapons prevent any other weapon type from being used."
At this point Drake seems to become less focus...as if something else has his attention. Which is true as unknown to the rest of the room he is having is own private conversation.
'Lily what do you think?' he asks his ghost
'Whoever built these weapons certainly put a lot of thought into to it but I should be able to make a workaround that lets you use other weapons, just not at the same time as the spear. But I'd still focus on improving it, no one would spend the amount of time needed to make a weapon like this unless it was important.'
"We can figure that out as we go. Anyway, it looks like we ought to train ourselves." Said Ren
"We'll have to level up as much as we can." Agreed Itsuka
"Wait, until you get experience in combat it would be much safer if we stay in a group. There a reason young or new fighters are taught by a veteran or travel in groups." spoke up Drake, once again focussing on the conversation
"One moment heroes, I'm afraid that each one has to recruit and adventure separately." the weasel-faced man "It is said that the legendary weapons repel each other by nature." as if it was planned a message came up 'when two or more wielders of the legendary weapons operate together, it causes an adverse reaction in the weapons. Working separately is highly advised'
"If you work together it apparently hinders their development." he finished
"The sun is about to set, rest tonight and be ready to leave tomorrow. While you do that we will gather the best to form your parties." said the king
A maid walks towards and says "We've prepared rooms for you, please come this way."
OMAKE-The Perverted Shield
The king could believe it, wouldn't believe it! The Shield Hero...was an old man, with a turtle of all things? Even the other Heroes were giving the old man odd looks
After explaining the situation to the Cardinal Heroes all the king could do was sit back in his throne and wonder what problems will arise from having a Cardinal Hero that looks 300 years old, even if that hero was the shield hero.
The next day came far to quickly and it was time for the parties to be formed, and unsurprisingly no one wanted to join the shield hero's party...that was until his beloved daughter decided to put her country before herself and offer to join the shields party.
"I-I don't think that's a good idea." stuttered Motoyasu "Not that Master Roshi here needs help."
'Master Roshi, what are they talking about? It can't be about slave seals, not only do the cardinal weapons stop the seal from being applied there is no evidence of anything like that happening.'
"Yeah Master Roshi is an incredible pervert." spoke the Turtle...wait what?
Before things get worse they were interrupted, which soon would make everything much worse not to mention even more confusing.
"There you are!" shouted a small woman sitting on a floating globe
"Baba?" said the old man in confusion "How did you...?"
"Don't Baba me!" Interrupted Baba "You forgot my birthday again!"
"Oh please were both well over 300 who even cares at this point!" rebuked Roshi
'300?' thought the king in disbelief
"So what? Now you are coming with me and we are going to celebrate my birthday!"
"I'm afraid I can't, you see these people need my help and are more than willing to pay for it." said a grinning Roshi
"You just going to perv on all the women! And if they need someone I'll go get someone!" said Baba
"Wait don't..." started Roshi before being interrupted by Baba vanishing before reappearing a short time later with a gorgeous blond, a short bald man and a young girl...both of the later having no nose
"I don't believe it! Krillin? 18?...I can't believe it!" repeated Itsuka
"I know right!" said Ren
"Wait...how do they know who we are?" asked the short man "From what you told us this is a completely different world and the others came from other worlds too."
"A man in their world was able to see into the multiverse and wrote down and drew out some of your adventures, it quickly became one of the most successful stories out there." answered Baba
"To think that we get to fight with the likes of Master Roshi, Krillin and 18!" boasted Motoyasu
"Actually my brother will be coming with me, Krillin, 18 and Marron will be staying here help out." said Baba
"It has been a long time since Krillin got time off work and if the rewards I am hearing about are true I'm going to enjoy this holiday a lot." said the blond woman
"Oh no you don't, that reward and all the fine lady's I can get with using it are all mine." swore Roshi
"Daddy, what does he mean get with?" asked the young girl. This single question causes everyone to freeze-up
"..."
"...I will not allow you to corrupt my daughter with your pervertedness...prepare to die." came 18's icy tone
"Bring it!" answered Roshi who to the shock of the King and his subjects transformed from a weak-looking old man into a mountain of muscle
Before things could get even worse Baba transports both her and her brother out of the room, much to the disappointment of the other cardinal heroes. At the same time the Shield reappeared on the arm of one 18.
"Awww I kind of wanted to see a fight between the Master Roshi and the 18." moaned Motoyasu
"It's probably for the best you know how destructive fights can be on their level...I mean Roshi did blow up the moon." said Itsuka
"Besides we still get to fight with 18..." said Ren
As the talking continued the king could only think one thing 'What just happened.'
