[The Chamber – Day 8]
Questions. It was obvious that the new warpers on the scene would have questions they want answered. Drake, Jericho, Brit, Tiff, Aizawa, and Albedo just wished it was until after breakfast. Bakugo got all mouthy when finding Izuku had been let in on the secret much earlier.
Drake dropped his fork and rubbed his head.
"Ok, let me answer the most pressing questions. You shouldn't travel to other universes until you're at fifth rank, you can order stuff across the multiverse for nearly anything, and yes…there are planets, universes, and zone where warpers dominate." Drake said. "CN Zen-Kuro being one of them."
"Wait, so if we're warpers now, doesn't that mean we get a bounty?" Iida asked.
"You do." Albedo said.
"I'm trying to watch tel-oh…" Jericho said as Big Shots came on.
Everyone peered over to the cheesy cowboy-themed show serving as the know-how for bounty hunters and new bounties.
"We got ourselves a special update…in recent news. Bounties have been unfrozen for several former agents of the mysterious organization, Cobalt." Punch remarked.
"Fuck." Drake cursed.
"Cobalt? You mean that spy organization?" Judy asked.
"The very same. This organization was supposedly lap dogs for the Order of Reality in it's early days, now it is under heavy investigation for corruption among it's ranks. Especially with some having proven connections to the disgraced Elite Council member, Rebecca Dill." Punch said. "Now for the bounties. These two are the only agents to have escaped the Organization and lived as long as they did. Their bounties were frozen as per for their agent status, but recent lobbying has unfrozen them."
"Shinobi of Sorrow " Drake S. Arashi (codenamed: Shadow) – 450,700,000 - 6th Rank – Active
"Verdant Vixen" Jericho E. Belladonna (codenamed: Nightshade) – 450,000,000 - 6th Rank - Active
"What the hell did you two to warrant that?" Aizawa said.
"Awfully high for a first bounty." Judy said.
"Do not doubt the number, those two are extremely dangerous, not in raw power…but in intelligence and skill. They boasted high success rates on their missions with a massive body count, have toppled governments, lead numerous rebellions, and among other things under the organization due to be manipulated by disgraced Cobalt operative: Helen 'Amanda' Collins." Punch said.
"The bitch." Jericho snarled.
"She was our overseer and a real manipulative waste of space." Drake said.
"While we are aware she has been captured, she has yet to be executed and erased for her crimes. As for the matter of the teenagers in question, Cobalt has refused to comment."
Jericho shut off the television.
"Of course, they won't. Cobalt knows they screwed the pooch by hiring Amanda in the first place. She was the world where she was manipulative chessmaster villain. I'm surprised they fell for the twin switch." Jericho said shaking her head.
Drake just explained that mess easily and facepalms could be heard.
"Drake, Jericho, let me just say that I'm so sorry you had to endure that." Izuku said.
"Don't be. It was screwed up but made us into the terrifying people we are today to survive. We're free to live our lives, and that's all that matters." Jericho affirmed. "We walked away as anti-heroes, so that counts for something."
"Regardless, today we continue your training to work a bit on the warper arts. You already know the rank system. Marinating in this chamber with higher ranked warpers will allow you to grow. Now it's best we quickly show you the basic warper three, how to create, how to edit, and how to erase." Drake said.
"Frankly, Momo's quirk is going to be her a broken warper. Using warper energy, you'll be able to spawn stuff with your quirk through your thought alone. But it may take a bit more out of you, so we'll work on strengthening up your body so match something of mine." Jericho said brightening up.
[The Chamber – Day 15]
Another day of training. More progress made, Pokémon leveled up, and Drake had loant some TM/TRs to get them new moves. Drake provided evolution stones for those who wanted them while Jericho handled trade evolutions.
"So manly!" Kirishima said sitting on his Steelix. "I'm going to enjoy riding you on the streets."
"Word that better, please." Aizawa said shaking his head.
Ochako held the Fire Stone in her hands but put it away as she thought Helios was not ready. Momo was petting Bascard, now a Milotic.
"So gorgeous!" Yuga complimented.
Bakugo was glad to see his Deathflame evolved who was throwing punches. Mineta looked upon his new towering Nidoking.
"You need a move overhaul." Mineta said as Lavendo give him a thumbs up.
Jericho had helped him with that. Amphea, now a Loudred, was now capble of carrying her lithe trainer who was jamming out along to her as she played her guitar.
"Koji, impressive work getting your Buneary to evolve. They only do so with high friendship with their trainers…you must be doing something right if she adores you that much." Drake said as Beverly was affectionately nuzzling him.
"Oh...um thanks!" Koji said sheepishly.
"With the progress made, I will allow for access to more zones on the island." Drake remarked. "I'm glad you're all making progress. Seeing we're at the halfway point. I want to suggest your Pokémon rest easy. You can all battle each other after we leave this place."
"I can't wait to catch up on the Outsider though. Season 2 has to be lit." Mineta said.
"Lucky for you, I managed to find my downloaded copy on my computer. I only got the first seasons though…" Albedo said.
"Season 2 was longer than Season 1, but kinda small at the same time. Not many locations were visited, but there were a lot of character moments." Jericho remarked. "Also, the start of the trend of Crimson getting laides left and right. Also, Momo and Iida show up."
"Can we watch it now?" Izuku said.
"Sure."
"We'll have marathon Season 1 for the newcomers." Drake said. "Someone wants to help me make popcorn."
"I'll do it!" Tsuyu volunteered.
Aizawa, Rumi, Nemuri, and Mei were properly introduced to Season 1. Mei was quickly interested into the talking Pokédex, Aizawa found a liking to Crimson's martial arts, Rumi liked the music choices, and Nemuri was eyeing up every attractive character left and right. Then everyone got marathon Season 2 allowing for the end of the rival battle before going into Curelean City and meeting Misty's sisters.
"Hot damn, their parents have to be supermodels." Nemuri asked.
"No, but they are lookers." Jericho joked.
"I feel rather bad for Misty, they call her the runt…" Izuku said sympathetically.
"Misty should kick their asses." Bakugo grunted.
"She does in a way. She's the face of the gym and the one running the show. Do you think the parents are going to wring once they come home to find those three were slacking?" Drake pointed.
"That is true. I do think it's pretty telling Misty wants to keep them from getting to Crimson." Tsuyu said.
Then they got the episode on Beige Town.
"God, what a boring place. No matter Rusty's not proud of it." Sero said munching on popcorn.
"Rather sweet of Crimson to score some Squirtle for himself and Misty. Considering how rare those guys are…talk about a grand gift." Koji said speaking up.
"This is why I ship Boiling Water." Mina said. "It's the ship name for Crimson and Misty."
"Prepare to be disappointed then." Drake and Jericho thought.
"Not every show has the first girl they met have them being the love-" Ochako said only for self-awareness to come on. "Never mind."
After beasting through a few episodes (the perverts approved that Crimson fooled around with that lady cop), they finally got to Seacreast to see the counterparts.
"Finally, I've been waiting forever. Odd that she's a bit…"
"That universe has no quirks, so that world's Momo isn't as skinny as you, plus I think she's a bit younger. Maybe a year or two as she's supposed to be Crimson's senior." Drake said.
"She still stacked, though." Jericho said under her breath.
"And we meet the asshole again. I swear can Gilbert do nothing but use slurs and suck…he's like a shittier version of Baku-"
"Don't compare him to Bakugo. Bakugo is at least a threat and has the standard to at least not use slurs." Albedo said as Bakugo gave a thankful look.
"And he's beaten." Nemuri said. "How pathetic. Gary is a superior rival."
"I want more of Rusty and Joe. Those two are the best main characters." Mineta mused.
"There's another Rusty and Joe one after the next episode." Drake said as their cheers.
After getting to see that world's Momo and Iida fighting alongside Crimson against the Rockets, they got to the horror story that was "Korosu: Reitōshi".
"It's really screwed up that they walked into a cult trying to kill them. And they say the Pokémon are dangerous." Ojiro said.
"At least they are willing to fight." Shoji said.
"We just ingoring that Crimson's barely started his career as a trainer but got a luxury mansion in a beautiful neighborood and screwed over his enemy." Aizawa pointed out.
"To be fair, he never saw Jessie and James as threats. More like annoyances…friendly ones." Mina touted. "When will those two just get together and piss off from Team Rocket?"
"Give it two more seasons." Jericho thought.
Next episode came the party…and the steamy afterparty.
"Gah, why did he his first time with the trailer trash redhead when you have Misty?" Mina moaned out.
"Because she wasn't around, and I think he doesn't want to ask his best friend for sex. Plus, Lee came on to her." Momo pointed out.
"Yeah…considering Misty and him, he's not ruining the friendship." Ochako pointed out.
Two more episode later, Mineta and a few others were clamoring for Joe/Sissi or as Mina called it French Funkin'.
"Joe finally got a girl, Crimson got a gang, and…"
"Please don't remind me. I didn't hate last night, but I'm not used to riding crops…" Crimson said embarrassed. "Just…go faster."
"Pfft…I think even Crimson thought Melanie was too spicy." Albedo joked.
"Wait, you can fuck Pokémon?" Nemuri asked. "So can I…"
"While I don't judge people who do Poképhillia, I am going to answer that thought you have, Nemuri. I am not going to give you a Pokémon for you to use as a vibrator." Drake said sternly.
Finally, the Season 2 finale came with the battle and grand battle of Crimson and Misty.
"Man, what a finisher. Season 2 was certainly a step up. I got all sorts of ideas on how to statergize. I need to make my own Pokémon translator!" Mei said running into her room.
The day was spent relaxing as before long Drake and Jericho had a moment alone on the void simply sparring.
"You know…there are a few girls interested in you." Jericho said throwing punches that he parried.
"I am a bit aware." Drake said sheepishly.
"Well, they're warpers now, you should see where it goes." She said as they both caught their next attack. "You need to socialize, and you could use a healthy relationship now that we're settled."
They ceased the fight.
"Never thought we'd be doing this." Drake said as Jericho hugged him.
"But we are, and this is a chance for us to make a life and name for ourselves in this world. No more Cobalt, no more having to looking over our shoulders. It's me, you, and Albedo finally getting the chance to be heroes, even if we are anti-heroes." Jericho said kindly before breaking it. "Now, let's call it a night."
"You guys done?" Albedo said as they walked up.
"Albedo, we just had a heart to heart. And I'm just glad we're all in this together." Jericho said.
"Yeah, I was listening in. I'm glad for a second chance too, and never more glad you took me in." Albedo said as he fist-bumped Drake.
(A/N: Jericho has given the push, now we are going to have our moments with the girls. Next chapter, we have our moments as everyone makes more strides.)
