Chapter 3-Encounters of Many
The Dark Queen Castle:
Chloe walked the halls of the dark castle alone, ever since Rugal and Neo arrived. Queen Olga has been using them as she wishes, be acting as a spy or a guardian. But Olga grew worry in thought of the champions of the Goddess coming to her doors, to bring such a justice. An ending to this war, but with her on the losing side.
But the young Dark Elf didn't worry, she knew her Mistress would win in the end, be using these strong humans or no. But Chloe couldn't help but feel helpless and afraid, she never met these Champions, but seeing the look of worry in her mistress's eyes made it so.
"Feeling useless, are we?" A bodiless voice spoke from the unknown.
"W-who there?!" Chloe called out.
"Relax little bird, its me." The voice said.
Coming out from a black portal was the hooded man, standing before Chloe in all of his unknown form. Chloe let out a tired sigh follow by a sharp glare.
"What do you want?" She asked the hooded man.
"Playing nice with your new friends?" He asked.
"Friends? Ha! Don't make me laugh, their only tools, tools you've given to my Mistress." Chloe showing no signs of love for she did not have a single care for Rugal and Neo.
"That's a pity. I was hoping you guys was getting along just fine, maybe I was wrong to send them here so soon." The man sighed but let out a quick laugh.
"What's funny?" Chloe glared with a look of hate.
"Nothing." He said in a childish tone. Chloe responds with an angry growl "Relax, I just wanted to talk to you, little bird. You play a big part of this too."
The hooded man sneaked up behind Chloe and whisper in her left ear.
"Especially for being a half-blood." Chloe's widen in shock. She draws her dagger, before she had a chance to strike the hooded man he spoke once again.
"Don't worry your secret is safe with me, beside if your monster friends found out or a human did who knows what they do to you huh, little bird? Or maybe its Olga's Will keeping all of that from happening huh?" He asked, while Chloe sigh in respond to him, there he suddenly patted her on the head.
"RAGH!" She yelled as she slashes her dagger at the hooded man, only for it to phase right through him.
"What are you, a spirit?" She blinked twice while being still amazed her weapon couldn't touch him.
"I am something more, though I am still human, but now listen to me Chloe this is very important. In time of danger, true danger will come to yours Mistress's doors. I want you to do a small favor for me, this favor will save your Queen's life." He waited for Chloe to look at him with a look of listen, Chloe looked at him but soon looked away.
"What is it?" She asked.
"You'll listen? Good girl." He chuckled while clapping his hands with joy.
"I said, what is it?" The half dark elf asked once more.
"When the time comes, I want you to see the bigger picture when that time comes. I have seen your future, Chloe." Chloe looked at him with a confuse yet scare look in her eyes.
"What do you mean by that. You know my future?" She laughed it off trying to act tough.
"I have, it's not a good one. It's a bad end, a very bad one. I know your life, and your little secret that your enemies would love to find you. I know you would rather die than be back in those chains again."
"H-h-how did-"
"I told you, I saw your future, that also means I know your past, and the hell you escape from. Listen to me little bird and you will never be back in those chains ever again, but ONLY if you listen to me. On the day, you won't know what day, that will be. But I want you to leave this place and everything behind." He asked this favor of her.
"You're asking me to abandon my Queen, to quit? To betray the very person who saved me, the one whom show me kindness? WHAT FOR!" She yelled at the hooded man.
"To save the life of the one you loved. Leaving Olga will save her life, though it will be view as betrayal. She will live, and she will be untouched. And in doing so, you will have a bigger role in this world, a much bigger role. More than you know Chloe."
"Why are you telling me this? And what makes you think, I'll believe you and not tell Queen Olga what you told me." Chloe said while giving him a scorning look.
"You won't give in, I know. And I know you don't trust others beside that woman. But I've been helping you so far, I told you what I know and I haven't been lying to you either. Beside why would I lie to the one who can help change this world from being a twisted future of enslavement, to a world where…where…where can it be so much fun…oh Chloe you have no idea what greatest you have in you, ah!" He said while walking around Chloe as the dark elf kept her eyes on him.
"What do you mean stranger? You weren't lying to me? And what is this greatest you're talking about?" She didn't realize how comfy she was with this hooded man, she felt relax talking to this unknown being, she wasn't sure why.
"Your heart has been closed off for years, it lost the will to trust others. It has fallen to such darkness and despair. But I know, I know within that little black heart still have some light, and since you are listening to me, tells me that you have the will to become something greater than being a slave, a servant…but I said too much now." He chuckled as he walked away from Chloe.
"You talk to me as if you knew me since birth, don't tell me you use time travel magic." Chloe smirked as she didn't believe such magic exist.
"Maybe," His voice made Chloe drop her smug smirk.
"Don't believe me, if you want, but I want you too. You're a special Chloe, one of a kind. Don't be stupid and don't be rude to the ones I sent here as your allies, trust Rugal, trust Neo they're your guardians. But remember what I told you, in order to save Olga's life, you must leave her. If it makes you feel better, she will be fine, this time I will made sure she won't fall to the enemy not this time."
"I still don't believe you ghost man." Her eyes glaring hard as the hooded man.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot while I was on my way here, I saw an Assassin seem he was from Celestine's Kingdom I believed or one he's one of the heroes bah I forget, a strong bastard he looks like-
"What? An assassin, why didn't you tell me that first!" Chloe yell.
"Thought he hasn't arrived yet, so I thought I had time to chat with you little bird, well you better go warn Queenie, good luck Chloe you have a ten minutes start and remember our chat." The hooded man snapped his fingers as he faded into a black portal behind him.
"Oh, you Bastard!"
Chloe ran off, hoping she would catch the assassin before he reached the Throne Room.
Throne Room
It has been a week since Olga and Chloe have encounter this hooded man, and the gifts that he has brought to them. Be it a Champion or a Spy, these gifts were somewhat useful to Olga. For Olga have send Neo out to spy on her enemy, gathering as much inform as she wished to learn about these Champions of Celestine.
But sadly, there was no Champions, there were no new threat for her to encounter, Neo told Olga she did not see these Champions and it's been a week. The Hooded man told her they would come in a week and yet they did not come?
Olga began to wonder did this Hooded man lied to her, playing these games with her? Or were these guardians just to keep an eye on her? Was the Hooded man a spy from Celestine? Olga's mind began to wonder and with wonder come worry and from that the feeling of paranoid began to grow.
Suddenly Chloe entered the throne room with a rushing approached, Chloe looked around with bit look of worry at first but her fears quickly melted away. Chloe quickly put on her serious face and acted normally as possible.
"Chloe." The Dark Elf Queen spoke.
"Yes, my Queen?" The young Dark Elf asked with a respectful bow.
"It has been a week and I have not encountered these Champions, where is Rugal and Neo?" She said with a worry yet angry look in her amber eyes.
"Rugal is in his room with that Nun he saved is singing for him again, Neo is still within enemy ground, she still scouting for the Champions as ordered. They have yet to appear in Ken or the other Six Fortresses. But my Queen what if-" Before Chloe could explain to her Queen, suddenly the castle shook with great force.
Olga stood up from her throne.
"Are we under attack? Did the Champions come at last?!" Olga shout.
Suddenly the doors of the throne room bust open, the doors flew toward the Dark Queen. Olga used her magic to shield herself from the flying doors.
"Who dares enter my castle!" Olga shouted with pride in her voice.
"One who masters the art of combat." A deep voice spoken.
Speaking inside the throne room, was a human who wore a black GI, his hair was dark red tie in a bun. He wore no shoes for he was barefoot, his skin was tanned. He wore a necklace of large prayer beads. His eyes black and crimson.
Chloe stood in the middle of the throne room standing in this attacker's way.
"Damn I was too late. How did you get in here, the guard should have stopped you?"
The man laughed.
"You call those beasts, guards? They didn't even last a second in combat." The man stood in a fighting style.
"W-w-who are you?" Chloe asked, she ready her daggers.
"Very well, I am Akuma, master of fist. Your Queen Shall face the Wrath of Shin Goku Satsu!" Akuma tighten his fists.
Chloe charge towards Akuma, but the fighter dodged her attack easily with a sidestep. Akuma swing his right arm towards Chloe's face. The young half-blood shut her eyes waiting for the pain to come, but Chloe felt nothing, no pain or anything.
Chloe slowly opened her eyes to see what was going on, Chloe's eyes widen in surprise upon what she saw before her very eyes. Standing in front of Chloe was a tall man who was blocking Akuma's fist from striking Chloe.
The tall man was massive in his build and height, wearing a black coat of unknown origin, he worn a hat on his head yet he blocked Akuma's fist with a simple hand grip.
"Another one butting in." The fighter growl in disappointment.
Akuma perform a roundhouse kick towards the tall man, but man easily dodge with a back dash as Akuma foot was an inch away from his face. The red-haired fighter held his hands back together before bringing them forward together, unleashing a purple-colored fireball. The tall man rises his arms in simple cross arm block took the blast like nothing.
'Amazing.' Chloe thought to herself.
Akuma looked very annoyed by this suddenly guest, seeing his attacks had no effect on this man troubles him. Akuma stared at the man and got a quick view of his face hidden under by his hat, Akuma frown even more so for he knew what he was up against now.
"Hey, what are you doing? Kill him! He tried to kill Lady Olga!" Chloe yelled at the tall man.
Akuma used this moment to dodge roll away from the man swinging fists and smash his fist into a wall creating a hole. But before he left the throne room, he stared at the tall man one last time. The tall man responds with a returning long stare.
"Another toy, how disappointing." Akuma let out a small hmnp before he ran off escaping into the unknown for now.
"Hey! Why did you let him escape! Hey!" Chloe yell at the tall man, the tall man turned around to faced Chloe, but Chloe caught a good view of the tall savior's face, Chloe's eyes widen in shock and pulled her to an emotion she was too familiar with.
Fear.
'This man…no this isn't a man at all, his face, his eyes…they're not human.' She thought to herself.
"You! Stranger, who are you!?" Olga asked with thunder volume in her voice.
The tall man just stood there without saying a word, his stare cast away from Chloe as he turned away only to stare at the hole Akuma escaped from.
"I said-"
"My friend is the strong silence type. He can hear you, but he's just can't answer." A new voice spoke.
"Who's there!" Olga and Chloe looked around the now messy throne room, there no one in sight at first until Olga spotted a man hiding behind one of the support pillars of the throne room.
"Great another one, but you seem human." Olga sigh while her facepalm as another 'guest' has arrived passed her defend force.
"It was easy making my way here, the Assassin Akuma made quite a mess in the main halls to the throne room." The man said.
"Yes, I had a feeling that would be the cause. Are you another one sent by that Hooded-man?" Olga asked the whited haired man.
"Yes, and I'm the third one my big friend there is number four." He spoken.
"Is there going to be a fifth, sixth or seventh? Honestly that Unknown man has become an aid and a problem all at once. I did not ask for his help in the first place, but strength is strength and you're not any normal human, are you?" Olga had a long stare, as she can feel demonic energy around the man standing before her and Chloe.
This young man was a tall slender with pale skin and dark green eyes, he has chin length natural black hair with bangs swept to the left, the man's upper body was covered in tattoos while he worn a long open leather sleeveless coat, matching his coat he wore black pair of pants with silver chains. He had a long-bladed cane for support.
"Care to give us your name?" Olga asked while glaring at young man.
"I have no name; I am but two days old." The man paused for moment as he felt Olga's cold glare upon, but soon he let out a chuckle.
"Just kidding, you can call me V, it is a pleasure to finally meet you, Queen Olga and Lady Chloe." The young man smiled at them with delight in his eyes.
"Well…V." Olga eyed the young man "Who is your friend?"
"He is living nor dead, a Golem in way for you to understand and he listens to me and of course he listens to you as well, Queen Olga." V explained "Give an order and he shall follow just be careful he's new and well let just say the hooded man perfer this one be a bodyguard then a warrior out in the field, trust me."
"And why should I believe you, human?" Olga asked.
He let out soft laughter "I look human, but I ensure. I am no human. I am merely here to aid you in your struggles and future struggles to come, and believe me…they will come." V said with a knowing look in his eyes.
"That's it, before another trouble come to my doorstep." Olga tapped her staff on the floor.
Moment have passed as Rugal and Neo was summoned to the throne room, Neo return by the use of special portal create by Olga for quick passages across the land.
Olga stared at her four champions or guardians one could say and with Chloe standing beside Olga's side marking her as five.
"I see we have new friends. More soldiers to add to the coming slaughter?" Rugal asked with a smirk.
"It has been a week and there been no news of these champions of Celestine and every day it's making me paranoid. If these champions won't come to me then I shall come to them and dispose of them while at it." Olga looked tired as she sighed.
"For someone powerful as they say, you don't know where these heroes are huh?" Rugal asked, Chloe growl at Rugal's rudeness but was silence by Olga rise of her right hand.
"I cannot watch for what I cannot see. I don't know these heroes faces and thus their protected from my glaze. The law of magic works as such." Olga explained to the four.
"Magic cannot harm those who cannot hear or see it as the old tales goes." V spoke, Olga gave a nod agreeing with the new comer.
"And what of it? Can't we go out and find these heroes ourselves. These heroes are special and I am pretty sure their hiding." Rugal said with an annoyed expression.
"My Queen…I have an idea that…might help in finding these heroes." Chloe spoke.
"Chloe?" Olga seems surprise by this, Chloe didn't see the type to have a sudden idea but Chloe always believed in her Queen and have served her so well over the many years the two been together.
"An idea?" V rise a brow of curiously.
"These heroes or whatever they are, don't know me nor do they know what you look like my Queen. I was thinking we asked aid of that Hooded man but…I second that idea, but rather we find these heroes by finding a place these heroes have been or will be." Chloe explains.
"What do you mean by that?" Olga asked her right-hand servant.
"Since these heroes have arrived, I am sure there has been a huge change in the world. These heroes are special and thus, there have been monsters being defeated or killed. These heroes have already left their mark in our world, like a prey leaking blood for a hunter to find, heroes leaving their good deeds to be find." Chloe explained in an easy term for the Dark Elf Queen.
"I must say that is the smartest thing I have ever heard." V chuckle.
"Chloe, that is a wonderful idea. But there are other heroes in this world. Using my magic to track them down won't be easy and will take much of my strength." Olga sigh as the half elf nodded.
"Lucky for you, I know where to find them." A voice spoke behind Chloe and Olga, the two dark elves flitch when they saw the hooded man standing right beside them.
"Gah! I hate you!" Chloe growl.
"Ah I love you too, little bird." The hooded man chuckles.
"Ah the big man shows up once more." Rugal stared. Neo wave at the hooded man with a friendly smiled, the tall man only stared and V had a pleased smiled on his face.
"You know where these heroes are? Care to explain how do you know this?" Olga asked her hooded ally.
"I know because I know let's leave it at that shall we? I can send you to the closest area of them but the rest you will have to do, but that be no fun. The epic battle shouldn't happen so soon. Wouldn't you all agree?" The hooded man asked, Chloe growl in anger.
"You-"
"Actually…I have a better idea." V spoke. Olga turned her attention towards the new comer.
"Come again?" She asked.
"But this job would need the skills of these two ladies." V pointed at Neo and Chloe.
"Huh, us for what?" Chloe asked.
"Ooo, I liked the way this guy thinks." The hooded man nodded, V chuckle with delight.
Unknown Location:
"Ughhh Okay, who hit me with a bus, again." The Merc with the mouth asked.
"Ahh, you're not kidding man, ah my head." The young Ninja groan while holding his head.
"Okay…this seems familiar." The Devil Hunter sigh.
"Indeed." Dr. Doom spoke.
"Everyone counted for?" Spiderman asked.
"Yup I'm here too." Bob responds with a groan like the rest.
"I apologize for pulling you all here, so suddenly but it was important for you all to be gather." A familiar voice spoke to the chosen heroes.
The heroes looked to their right to see the Goddess Cosmos, the one whom brought them all to the other world on a request. The heroes looked around to find themselves within the unknown realm.
"Did we die? Cuz if we did that fucking sucks." Deadpool asked Cosmos.
The Goddess chuckle with a calm smiled "No, Deadpool you did not, nether of you did. I brought your souls to my realm. So, I may speak with you, don't worry about your bodies. Though it may seem like you've been here for few minutes, in the other world a moment has not passed."
"So, what do you wish to talk to us about then, boss?" Dante asked with friendly smirk.
"First of all, I wish to congratulate you all on your work thus far, but you are far from your true goal I'm afraid. You have driven out too far from the land of Eos and I wished you all to returned to Eos." The Goddess asked of them.
"Wait…we're out of Eos but only been heading west for few miles. Right guys?" Naruto asked the team.
Deadpool looked at the map but the other heroes sigh and facepalm as he held it upside down and also, he was using the WRONG map.
"Wade! That's the map of New York City!" Spiderman groaned.
"Oops my bad, I could have sworn I had a map of Eos, I stolen it from that guy we killed back in the slave market." Deadpool reached inside his hammer-space pockets.
"Idiots." Dr. Doom sighed.
"Wait, we're leaving the mission area? Sound like one of modern levels during a video game." Web swinger joked.
"Well, we got one problem we in need of a home base and having one where our goal is, isn't quiet the idea to have especially when the real threat could be living there." Bob said to the Goddess.
"Worry not, for I will guide you to the location you're looking for. Ah yes in fact this location is linked to the two of you." Cosmos looked at Dr. Doom and Naruto, the two heroes rise a brow in confusion.
"Huh, really?" The ninja asked.
"Explain." Dr. Doom asked with a glaring glare, while Naruto didn't like the sound of this.
"This world is very much like your world and yet not." The Goddess explain and yet she didn't.
"Well…this is a different dimension, so the possible chance of us meeting ourselves is unlikely or very likely, but not the first time for me, I totally met hundreds of different versions of me." Spiderman said.
"It's true and same here, Hell I made a team of me, myself and I." Deadpool laughed loudly with a proud stand.
"So…you're telling me that, there another me existing in this realm? Does this version of me…has his parents…right?" Naruto asked the Goddess. Cosmos could see the deep want of an answer in the Uzumaki's crystal blue eyes.
"For now, all I can give you is the location of where you are needed next." Cosmos snapped her fingers as a new map appeared within Dr. Doom's left hand, Doom opened the map to shown him a glowing spot of their location and a X spot to where they need to go.
"A village huh?" Naruto said
"Interesting." Dr. Doom stared long at the map.
The location was very close to the Seventh Fortress of Eos within the Kingdom of Geofu, but the location was closer to the Sixth Fortress of Eos in the Kingdom of Ken.
"Welp time to make a big U-turn then." Bob let out a tired sigh.
"It's a few couple of hundred miles back, not a problem for us. Right Ms. Goddess?" Dante held a positive smiled on his face.
"Dante's right, this is nothing, we have dealt with bigger issue before." Spiderman agreed.
"I will transport you all to nearest spot. And do take care of your passengers that you have, I fear in the near future trouble may cause discord to such kind souls." Cosmos frowned.
"We got few over four hundred or so people, we got this. We're heroes after all, don't you worry Boss." Deadpool gave a friendly wink, Cosmos smiled for she was glad that has chosen these heroes.
"But before you send us back, I have one question." Dr. Doom spoke with his arms crossed.
"You may ask." Cosmos waited.
"Are we the only selected heroes? If we are the chosen heroes then there must be chosen villains, am I correct?" His question was for the Goddess.
Cosmos paused for a moment "That will be for another time, I will summon you all again soon. Be the light that this world needs. May the Light of Hope shine upon you."
A blinding light shines from Cosmos's body blinding the heroes and within a moment passing the heroes found themselves within a deep forest.
"Fastest fast travel if there ever was one." Deadpool laughed.
"Hey, Naruto you said you live in a village, right?" Bob asked.
"Yeah, what about it?" The young ninja asked.
"How big is your village? We never got much time to know each other, since we're not sure how long we're gonna be here. Might as well become friends instant of just being allies." Bob looked at the youngest member with friendly smiled.
"I agree with fatty." Spiderman spoke "It be a lot easier if we truly work together."
"Thanks for agreeing." Bob chuckle.
"He called you fatty, surprise you didn't get mad." Naruto rise a confuse brow.
"Why should I get mad? I am fat hahaha, SPEED AND WEIGHT! Hahaha it's one of my quotes and way. You gotta look on the positive side of things. I maybe fat but I'm not badly burned like Wade over there." Bob jerked his right thumb over Deadpool's position.
"I got friend, fat like you. He would get pissed off by being called fat." Naruto spoke of his ninja friend Chouji.
"Then, he has to be more positive, who care what you look like, it never troubled me. But you're from another world, I guess different rules and all. But your friend should be more positive." Bob explained.
"Heh, yeah." Naruto smirked.
"Alright then, let's get the show back on the road people." The Devil hunter clapped his hands.
"Boy." Dr. Doom addressed Naruto.
"Huh yeah, what up?" The blonde ninja asked.
"Ride with me." Dr. Doom got on the top of carriage driver seat.
"Huh why?" Naruto asked, finding it bit odd request, especially coming from the team leader.
"Oh, speaking of our prince charming here, we got that princess riding with us remember." Spiderman reminded the crew.
"If she has awakened, please find out what you can." Dr. Doom told the others.
"Will do. The last thing we need is a Kingdom hunting down over a small mistake." Bob nodded to Dr. Doom.
As the others enter the magically carriage, Naruto sat up front beside Dr. Doom as the young ninja looked at the iron suited leader.
There was a long silence pause between the two *Heroes* the silence lasted for ten minutes before the silences finally broke with a question.
"So why asked me to sit with you?" Naruto asked the big question.
"It is very simple, the village we're destine to be is related to the both of us. Thus, it would make sense for us to arrive there...together…Son." Dr. Doom explain to the young ninja.
"If you say so, but it would be freaky weird to meet yourself from another world. Like do they look the same to you, are they older or are they even the same gender as you?" He asked such questions.
"A fine thought in mind. But I doubt our other world selves are the opposite sex, but nevertheless, once we have reached the village we'll know, now follow my will and don't do anything stupid." The iron leader spoken.
"Yes dear *Father* I understand." The young man let annoyed sigh, remembering the role he was given by luck of straw pulled. Acting as both Prince and Son to Victory Von Doom.
One moment later:
"Excuse me, Excuse me, dear sir." A small voice called out to the heroes. Naruto stopped the carriage upon hearing the voice.
"Huh?" Naruto blink twice to see where the voice was coming from. Dr. Doom and the Uzumaki looked around to see where the voice was coming from.
"Down here sir." The voice spoke, their eyes looked down to see three cats standing on their back legs while they stood up like a human being, as the three cats worn cloth clothes with small weapons on their back.
"Cats?" Naruto rise a confuse brow upon seeing such a sight.
"Actually, we're called Felyne or Palico meow." One of the cats spoke.
"Palico? Never heard of you before, you look like normal house cats to me." Naruto said.
"True, meow but we are so much more, dear sir." The second Palico spoke up.
"Talking cats…an interesting turned of an event we have here, but state your business we have a place to be." Dr. Doom spoke with a deep glare.
"We were traveling with our Meowters, but we lost them when some blighting light shower us, when the light fade, we were here, meow." The third Palico explain to the two heroes.
"Well, I'm not sure if you'll find your master here, but if you stick with us, you might find them." Naruto said with a friendly smile.
"If it you be so kind would-"
"Sure, we'll give you a lift." The Uzumaki said without a second thought.
"Actually, we were offering our services to you in return for helping us, meow." The first Palico spoke.
"You want to serve me?" Naruto asked.
"Serve us." Dr. Doom corrected him; the young ninja rolled his eyes at being corrected.
"You guys, really don't mind it? I mean I don't want to seem we bully you into serving us." Naruto said with a small troubled frown.
"Meow, we don't mind it at all, we love helping, it's what we do!" The three Palico said with a cheerful smiled.
"You heard them, son." Naruto looked at Doom for a moment but sigh and jerked his head as the three Palico jumped on top of the carriage and remain there they did.
"Do you guys have names?" Naruto asked.
"Hendy, Don and Lok." The three cats spoke their names.
"Nice names."
"Thanks, our master named us."
"Also, your all…boys, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Most cats I known have been females so I asked." The Uzumaki groan as he thought of past encounters.
About Ten minutes later…
"Ah excuse me gentlemen." A middle age man called out to them, Naruto and Dr. Doom see a carriage with a group of four standing there waiting for help to arrive.
But the carriage of heroes' road on but stopped Naruto jumped off the carriage to the man asking of aid.
"Naruto, what are you doing?" Dr. Doom asked.
"It won't take long we can give them a lift as well." The ninja youth said.
"We're not a taxi service." The armored Lord glares.
"We can make time, we're heroes. Beside it may reward us down the line if we help others now." The Uzumaki said with a smirk.
"Do you need aid of us Meowter?" The Palico asked.
"Sure, Hendy, Don, Lok these people might need our help carrying their load. So, who are you guys?" Naruto finally asked the man.
"Oh, thank you kind soul. My name is John and I simple a carriage driver but our carriage wheel broke and there been no sign of aid for hours." John explained his issue to the two heroes.
Naruto looked at the three people and notice they were Knights dressed in a well detail design armor as on the right breast of the armor held a symbol of Owl with a flame crown above its head.
"You guys protecting a Princess too?" Naruto asked the knights.
"A princess, bah no. We are simple hired Knights to ensure the Maiden and her fellow sisters are protected on their trip to Eos." The leader of the knights explained.
In the background the three Palico helped John unloading and reloading two heavy chests from one carriage to the heroes' carriage with ease, Dr. Doom was slightly amazed by the strength of these little cat creatures, though many would be surprise by these talking cats but our heroes have encountered much strangers' creatures and event in their lives.
The leader of the Knights walked over to the broken carriage and knocked on the door before speaking.
"Milady, help have finally arrive we are switching carriages, you may come out now." The Head-Knight waited for a respond from within the carriage.
"Oh, about bloody time, I swear ya taking darn time we might be old ladies by the time ya done." A woman spoke with a hard Irish accent.
"Ah sister, don't need to mocked the Knights, their here to protect us." A soft voice woman spoke.
"If they were to protect us, then they would have an extra wheel on the ready, but even they can't even fix a bloody broken wheel. Ah I swear they talk big like their balls big as watermelons but it really about size of grapes." The same Irish woman spoke on her rant.
Stepping out from the carriage was a woman dressed in white cloth colored set of robes, complete with a hood. She had beautiful blue eyes as her hair was hidden by her hood, she had a beauty mark underneath her left eye. The woman was very busty; however, she was short very short.
"Milady watch your step." The knight spoke.
"Oh, I know, don't have to gah-" The short woman misstep her footing on the small set of stairs the carriage held, she flew towards the hard ground, she shut her eyes to embrace the impact however a moment has passed and no pain was brought.
"Are you okay?" A voice asked the short woman.
The short woman opened her to be greeted by the blue eyes of another. Holding her in his arms was none other then the hero ninja youth, Naruto Uzumaki. The woman paused with widen eyes as she was capture by how handsome Naruto was.
Suddenly the short woman's hood fell back exposing her hair, along with a special surprise while at it. The short woman had short blonde hair that stopped at her neck, she had very large pointy ears, while she stared at Naruto, her two large pointy ears started to wiggle.
Naruto let out a small chuckle "Cute." His words were.
"Astraea, yours ears are showing." A Nun spoke, the two other nuns couldn't help but giggle at the scene, as view it as such a wholesome and cute one, but quickly Astraea pulled her hood up to hide her wiggling ears from Naruto's sight.
"Um you can let me down now please." The short woman's accent suddenly changed from Irish to command English accent.
"Huh?" Naruto looked confuse.
"You can let me down now…please…also your hands are being a little too friendly where their grabbing." The short woman named Astraea said.
Naruto paused for a moment to take in to realize where his hands were and what they were touching. His blue eyes widen in shock as his face flush red upon discovering his right hand a nice grip over on the woman's fine backside while his left hand seemly had a nice cup the field of her left breast.
Naruto quickly but gently placed the woman on down, the short woman's height was finally shown as her height stopped at Naruto's stomach bringing the woman being about 5'2 or 5'3 of height.
"Sorry about that, I didn't know." The ninja youth quickly apology for a deed he was blind too.
"No-no-no, its fine. It's just bit of boob and butt you grab dear . It happened so quickly, thank you for catching me." Astraea gave a respectful head bow her catcher.
"Name's Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." He introduced himself the short woman of holy faith.
"I am Maiden Astraea, nice to meet you." She also introduces herself.
"Heh, heh yeah." Naruto smiled as he rubbed the back of his head, letting out a small nervous laughter in his voice. After the moment settle down Naruto stare at the short woman as she stared right back at him. Their stared lasted for about two minutes.
"BOY!" A loudly voice called him.
Naruto snapped out of and turned to Doom's direction "Gah, yes father."
"No more delays we leave NOW!" He said in angerly tone of voice.
Naruto open the carriage's door "Hey Dante switch with me, we got um…new guest and-"
"Boy, you're sitting right here we're not done with our talk." Dr. Doom said with a fatherly glare, Naruto frown and cursed underneath his breath.
The Knights and others Nuns and Knights, along with John enter the magical carriage, As Astraea step on aboard, Naruto helped her by holding her hand.
"Such a gentlemen." Her words were. Once enter the magic portal, Naruto closed the door and joined back on the passenger side of the front carriage.
"Don't be delay in mind, boy. Do not be temper by basic desires." Dr. Doom told the Uzumaki ninja, Naruto rolled his eyes once again and let out a sigh.
"Let get to this damn village then…father." He said.
"If we're weren't allies, I would have killed you for acting this way or at least punish you with my magic." The leader of the group warned him, Naruto let out a troubled sigh.
"I see why Wade and Spiderman always called you the fun police." The Uzumaki said.
"Hnmp, I can be *fun* but now isn't the time to act like a fool, especially one in love upon just meeting a female." Dr. Doom said.
"Love?!" Naruto yelled with a blushed "Oh no, no, no, no. Its not like that man, you got it all wrong, I find her very cute that's all, with her big ears and her cute eyes and her accent she had before and-"
Naruto paused when he felt Doom's fatherly stare upon him again "Anyway, I hope this next place we're going to is going to be our office home base, I am getting tired of traveling and I did tons of that when I was a kid."
"You are still a child." Doom said.
"I'm Seventeen." He'd spoke of his age.
"Still a child you are." He shook his head while Naruto felt more annoyed by this talk with the leader of their team.
"Yeah, yeah." Naruto rolled his eyes.
"I have a question." Doom asked the young boy.
"And I may have the an answer, what is it?" He asked the leader of the team.
"Tell me your background child, I sense heavy demonic magic around you, also that power you have, the power to cloned yourself with ease...I wish to know how your able to do it without magic." He asked.
"It's a long story." He sigh.
"We have time, tell me your story and you might learn of mine, if we to act as father and son. We must know each others tales as our allies say." Naruto gave a accepted nod.
"Fine then, its all started on the night of my birth." Naruto let out a sad sigh.
Inside the Magic Carriage:
"Oh, my goodness." Astraea said with a shocking in awe expression.
"Welcome, new comers and face." A voice called out to the short saint and her allies, for all turned their attention to their right to behold such a scene.
The new arrived company see Deadpool, as they see Deadpool standing before them wearing a nicely tuxedo along with a Top-hat while spotted with a wooden cane.
"Excuse us, dear sir but where are we? I have sworn we were entering a carriage." The head Nun said.
"Ah yes, you were but now you're here, huh funny that. Anyway, welcome to this pocket dimension of our safe haven…well until we arrive at our stop of course. But now then are each of you with one another as a party or are all of you a solo cast?" He asked, the Holy looking group.
"Um, we are a party...dear Sir, um what is your name?" One of the Nuns asked.
"Ah the name is Wade Wilson but please call me, Deadpool or DP or Wade, whatever pleased your delight." He said with a friendly hat tip.
Astraea looked around this pocket dimension their now held within, the group seen over hundreds of people gather around in one space or spread not too far but still held close.
"To your right you will see the childern play zone for all childern of age. Mainly from four to fourteen, we have pizza parties, story time, games, oh my favorite the bounce castle for them to enjoy. Though we kindly asked all childern who have claws and talons to wear special gloves and shoes." He pointed to the far right. As the group seen a pair of many motherly women keeping an eye on the childern, so far from the sight of it all they were all having a blast. While Spiderman was helping looking after the childern being on safety guard.
"And if you looked to your far right, you will see we have our self-improvement class with our speaker and chosen, Bob." Deadpool pointed over with his wooden cane.
"Now remember, the only way to be happier in life is not making others happy but yourself." The large fat friendly hero said, as a group wounded or rather scarred people gather around Bob along with people who self-unsure about themselves on a more personal reason.
"Well, he seems to be a very wholesome gentleman." The Nun comments.
"Oh yeah, everyone loves Bob. He's a very swell guy." The Merc with the mouth chuckle with enjoyment "On your next left we have our cooking class with Dante and-"
"This is place is huge, Astraea." A fellow Nun said with widen eyes.
"HELP, HELP, SOMEONE HELP!" A voice cried.
"Oh no, sound like someone is in need of aid." A Nun said.
Deadpool's friendly and open expression melt into a deep frown, he slightly pushed the others aside as he walked in fast pace towards the crying voice in need. A crying child approached Wade, grabbing his right hand.
"Hey Kiddo, what's wrong why are you crying?" He asked the crying child.
"Mr. Wade, you gotta help us! Mom's in trouble, their gotta kill her!" The child said with bursting tears.
"Who is?" He asked, and before the child could answer his question a shouting gave said longing answer.
"How about we teach some manners bitch!"
"If she wants food then she gotta work for it, don't ya agree boys?"
"Hey, get off my mom!" Another child's voice cried.
"Back off punk, we got business with your mother, the little bitch think she can steal food under our noses, we're hungry too, we-"
BANG!
A loud bang echo loudly which cause everyone animal humanoid and demi humans to covered their ears.
"Goodness, what on earth was that?" The Saint asked Deadpool.
"Ah yes, this is my beautiful gun that gets the work done. Ah my lovely Desert Eagle Mark Nineteen. Now please wait, Oooone moment and then we will continue our tour guide, hmm k? Good." The Merc with the mouth said with a clam and gentle tone of voice.
Walking over to the far right of the pocket dimension space room, the Red X-Force/X-men sometime member approached a group of four large size and tall human men who had corned a demi human looking dog woman. She had human appearance beside having dog tails and ears, she lay there on the ground with a bleeding nose and half of her clothed torn and ripped.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa wait a minute, we can explain." The man said holding his hands up surrendering, while his allies stood still with fear resting on their faces.
"Explain? Explain what? What I see and hear is you and your friends was beating up a woman who was trying to feed her childern. So, give me one good reason not to blow your brains all over the ground?" He waited for their pathetic excuses.
"Mom! Mom!" The first child ran towards their mother, while the second child stood by their mother's side crying, scared for what has happen to their mother.
"I…was trying…to feed my…childern…" The mother shutter her words.
"Look, we saw the bitch was stealing food, she was trying to sneak off extra food. We caught her and decided to deliver some justice, we're all hungry and she doesn't have the right too-"
Suddenly Deadpool started to sing a line while he reloads his gun.
"You know the rules and so I do." Deadpool turned his full attention towards the four men "Say goodbye..."
"N-n-no wait we were protecting the food, we were doing you guys a favor, please shar-"
BANG BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG
The hundreds of humans and demi humans alike just saw Deadpool gunned down four men without a second thought.
"Guard the food? Under who's orders? The food is for everyone, hell there's enough food for everyone that's why Doom made this world. You can fool other dumbasses but not me!" Deadpool groan in anger.
Turning his attention to the beat up mother and her childern "You guys okay?"
The mother nodded in silence while the two childern smiled "Thank you, Mister."
"Good, sigh man that was the fifth one within the day." Merc groan in annoyed tone, but Wade froze in his track as he looked over his right shoulder to see the Knight, saint and nuns staring at him for what he has done.
"Um…what you saw what a act of delivering true justice and they were sinners…heavy sinners." He said with a light cough.
"I would say we have jumped in a trouble bunch but, but these men seem...nice and wholesome...what's the worst that could happen...right?" Astraea said with a smiling expression while her company seeming doubting the new company they have found or rather founded by.
Our heroes met a lovely cast of characters, and not only our heroes but Olga and Chloe have handful on their own. The new journey...
Has only just begun.
