(Mid Chapter Authors Notes)
I disable the gravity enhancement and wipe the sweat off my brow.
"That's pretty tough." I sigh as I take off the bracelet and lay it on a table.
I roll my shoulders and let out a sigh.
I spent about two hours training there.
"Kaioken Times Zero-Point-One"
'sadly it will take a bit of time to get to a point where I can keep this up forever, my aura goes from zero to full in roughly an hour, and that is about one percent every thirty-six seconds, and currently, kaioken zero-point-one takes about one percent of my aura every ten seconds... so I need to basically get four times better with it to have it be active at all times.'
I let out a sigh and locate Weiss by looking through a couple of portals.
'Iron Maiden, disable surveillance around our conversation.
I open a small portal below my stand and allow it to plug into the wall, then shrink the portal to the size of a needle as to make the mech not disappear.
'technically, I am still within however so many meters of it...'
I shrug as Iron Maiden returns to me, then hop through a portal and sit down on a portal leading back to the upside down, watching Weiss in the midst of combat! With several white beowolves slowly creeping around her.
'ah... volume five trailer.'
Weiss had just been disarmed of her rapier, and she takes a deep breath and rubs her head with her eyes closed, granting one of the summoned grimm the chance to leap at her.
Her eyes snap open and she summons a new blade, this one mimicking her Myrtenaster for a brief moment before the blade ignites.
That blade finds a home right in the eye socket of the grimm lunging at her, the head of the grimm being blown clean off, then she leaps back with assistance from her semblance, flinging a summoned dagger at a second beowolf who had begun to follow her, the blade finding itself lodged in the knee of said beowolf where it promptly MELTS through the knee and severs its leg.
'…'
'holy weapons are stronger against grimm than first thought...'
'also, she should have 'died' there in canon...'
She kicks Myrtenaster up into her hand as she lands next to it.
'she also seems a bit more skilled and less 'showy' than in the volume 5 canon...'
She flings the fiery rapier at a group of two beowolves where it explodes on contact with the ground, catching both of them in a fiery inferno that destroys about half their bodies.
'hm... the beacon entrance exam isn't for another half a year... she might be the team leader at this rate...'
She runs her finger along the blade of Myrtenaster, causing it to be coated in a white hazy mist, then she waits...
The first beowolf lunges at her, but she cuts its arm off, her blade leaving a couple spikes of ice on the stump, where icy tendrils slowly creep down the remains of the arm and towards its torso.
'eh... she will be fine.' I shrug as I fall back into the upside down. 'I'll talk to her once she goes back to her room.'
"Heeey buddy!"
"EEK- oh... it's you." Weiss abruptly sits up from her bed but sighs and lays back down after realizing it is me.
"Yo." I shrug.
She lets out a long sigh from under her arm that she is using to cover her eyes and face. "What do you want?"
"Just wanted to see how you are doing." I shrug.
"Just peachy." She answers in a slightly annoyed tone.
"…"
"well, it seems like you aren't in a good mood, so I'm just going go... I'll see you in Beacon in a couple months~"
She lets out another long sigh as I fall back into the upside down.
'greaat... a day wasted by traveling to Atlas... ugh... the flight back is like six hours...'
"Hey Ruby~" I hum as I walk outside of my bunker via portal. "How are you today?"
"Im good, was in Vale today picking up some ammunition and I wanted- OH MY GOSH! TEAL YOU ARE GLOWING!"
I look at my hands. "so I am."
"Why? Why are you GLOWING?!"
"A technique I am working on." I shrug. "Don't worry about it."
"Oooh!" She hums. "What can it do?!"
"I mean, in this form, not much, that is why I am training it." I yawn. "This is a special power I gave myself called the 'kaioken'."
"Kaio-what?" She asks.
"Allow me to show you it when it isn't suppressed to one-tenth the original power."
"Kaioken."
*Fwoosh*
"WOAAAAH!" She exclaims as grass, dust, and any small twigs or leaves are blown away from us, her hair ruffling from the breeze the kaioken created.
I hold up my scroll on the 'aura monitor' app and show it to her. "This form multiplies my strength, speed, senses, and all the other traits I use in a fight by one-point-five."
She reaches out and grabs my scroll, watching as my aura falls.
"BOOST"
And then gasps as the drain practically doubles its speed.
I swing my hand off to the side to dissipate my 'boost', the punch moving at SIX TIMES my normal 'base form' attack, then the kaioken diminishes back down to the zero-point-one form that I am NEARLY able to keep up at all times, since last week, when I went to go see Weiss, I doubled the time I was able to hold this.
"How much do I have left?" I ask Ruby.
"About fifty percent." Comes her response.
"Ah." I sigh as I take my scroll back and turn it off.
"So, what are you up to today, Ruby?" I ask with a smirk as I walk towards the direction we normally talk, a couple picknick tables lined up under a large overhand.
"You know, just buying some ammunition for my baby!" She exclaims, bringing out the folded form of the NOW PAINTED Cresent Rose so she can rub her face on it.
"Neat."
"Mhm!" She hums in a chipper tone. "What have you been doing?"
"I went to visit one of my friends in Atlas, but saaadly she wasn't in such a good mood so I came back." I say as I take a seat at one of the tables. "I also killed ten goliaths so that was pretty cool."
"T-Ten G-Goliaths?" She whispers.
"I mean, technically, I had help from a new friend I made... that last word having two meanings in this scenario..." I explain.
"…"
"yeah, I'm awesome!" I smirk. "I am at least hoping to be able to hold a kaioken times two for like at least a minute when I get to beacon!"
"times... two?" Ruby mutters.
"Oh, right, I only did a 'times one' for you, basically, kaioken has higher levels, each multiplying my strength by the number called out, kaioken times one and lower being the exceptions where it only increases my strength by one-point-five or less."
"Woooow!" She exclaims. "Math..."
"Only downside is that anything higher than four will probably kill me~"
"Oh…"
"Yep."
"that's kind of lame if it takes that much aura..." Ruby pouts. "If it just took some energy it would be really good."
"…"
'would it actually be better if I had ki?'
'…'
'how much would it cost to actually grant me the ability to use Ki?'
'double what I currently have, eh? Damn...'
"It would be 'really good'." I sigh.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Dear god we are awkward..." I mutter after an EXCRUCIATING few seconds of awkward silence.
"Eheh." Ruby shyly scratches the back of her head. "So..."
"…"
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Would you like... to maybe..." Ruby continues, steadily losing momentum and volume the longer she goes. "Go see a movie or... something..."
"Ummm..." I scratch my chin. "Sure."
"Yes!" She grins and hops to her feet.
She grabs my hand and pulls me up as well and starts running. "Come on! It is going to start soon!"
I mean... that was a thing... the movie was decent I guess... think like the Avengers but with more grimm and less purple chin dudes wielding a bejeweled oven mitt.
Now I am just sort of chilling at home on the couch, drinking a juice box and passively using Kaioken 0.1 "So, Lilith, how was your day?"
"I managed to not only dust our abode, but vacuum it as well!" She exclaims.
"Lilith, you do know that you aren't my maid, right, you don't have to do that..." I sigh.
"But I wish to do it, Master, it is the least I could do for you after you brought me into this world!" She grins, a cheerful expression on her face as she sits down beside me. "And besides, you would probably just trip over any filth you leave around and die! And I can't have that, No No No!"
"Look, Lilith, you are ALIVE, you need to have your own life goals, and junk like that." I sigh.
She opens her mouth.
"Besides making my life easier."
She closes her mouth and pouts cutely.
'now that I think about it, she looks NOTHING like Salem, she looks to be about four-to-five inches shorter, keeps her long snow white hair down instead of tying it up, has ZERO creepy veins on her face, and somehow she can make her blood red eyes with black sclera look adorable... like she somehow is capable of pulling off 'Puppy eyes' and that is... strange...'
"ooh!" She exclaims suddenly. "I know what I want to do for my life!"
I mentally prepare myself for her answer 'your next line is 'I wish to breed with master'… to you...'
"I wish to reproduce with master!" She exclaims, confirming my fears.
'*Sigh*… Why?'
"Meh, if that is what you want, go for it, but I can't promise you it will happen though." I shrug.
'let's see here... Beacon starts in about five-ish months in early April... and the 'entrance exam' is held literally the day before... I have a lot of work if I want to be able to 1v1 Cinder when she goes full maiden mode...'
I pull out a check list
Teal's Super Omega Starter Plan To Kick Total Maiden Ass (Aka things I need to do in the next year or so):
Evolve Iron Maiden to an Act 2 or 3: [ ]
Get to a point where I can hold a boost and a kaioken x2 for up to 5 minutes, or, if possible, endlessly. [ ]
Get a Balance Breaker for either of my Sacred Gears. [ ]
Get Ki and learn how to shoot a kamehameha for the memes. [ ]
Get a better sacred gear? Maybe? Boosted Gear is always a plus... also really broken considering the world. [ ]
I slowly nod.
'yes... this will do nicely...' I mentally cackle.
"how do I..." I mutter under my breath as I look over to my 'STANDO POWAH'.
"Change now?"
"Act 2 Activate?"
"Transform!"
"Go even further beyond?"
"It's morphing time?"
"…" the robot stand does nothing.
"I'm dead inside?"
THE MECH INSTANTLY TRANSF- Pfft- nah I'm just kidding, it STILL does nothing.
"…"
I sigh and rub my forehead. "How do I transform you?"
"…" the robot sadly doesn't sprout into song and dance singing about the way to fix my problems.
"Feck- it might be something obscure." I sigh. "Don't I have enough fighting spirit to call in at least an Act 2? I mean, Koichi was a pussy at the start of part four... and I have already been in several life or death situations..."
"…"
'there is ONE last thing I need to try...'
I pull out a controller.
"Plug in." I command the small robot, watching as it jacks into the charger port of this wireless controller.
'up up down down left right left right B A Start.'
The stand glows brightly.
"HOLY SHIT!" I exclaim. "THAT FUCKING WORKED?!"
A large fist punches out through the back of my mech, it is covered grey plates that resemble a muscly arm and has some sort of azure glow that shows through the creases in the armor.
Then the old 'body' of my stand explodes outwards revealing a head, torso, and another arm, no legs however, it has a glowing blue section instead of legs and has a few pebble sized pieces of metal floating below it.
It buzzes as it hovers in the air and turns its head to 'look' at me.
It only has a single large eye in the center of its head, the color being blue like the cracks in its armor.
A good description of the eye and head would be the head from that pacific rim jaeger 'Crimson Typhoon'.
'how the ACTUAL HELL was I supposed to figure that out!'
A folded note hits me directly in the face.
Dear Teal
Congrats! You unlocked the act 2 stage of Iron Maiden, now you only have 1 more to go before you reach the final act~ and I was going to give you a hint on how to get 'Act 2' when canon started so you wouldn't be confused for that long... only like 6 months! And you will figure out Act 3 eventually, and by eventually I mean at one of the season finales of the first 3 volumes, be it 1 2 or 3, you will eventually get it!
Youshouldalsoprobablyexpectsomekickasspowerupswhencanoncomesaroundsowatchoutforthat.
Annnyway, here if your Act 2 stand's stat sheet.
Stand Name: Iron Maiden (Act 2)
Stand Master: Teal Indie
Statistics:
Power: B
Speed: B
Range: D
Durability: B
Precision: C
Potential: A
Iron Maiden's second form increases its physical abilities far beyond the first form's capabilities, the only downside being its hugely decreased range, its primary attack is to just punch anything that gets in its way, gaining the ability to punch through solid trees and thin sheets of Steel. It's new 'Special Attack' is a superpowered version of the previous form... to actually explain what it does, have you ever watched Michael Bay's Transformers, Teal? Basically your Stand is the 'All Spark' and can transform mechanical objects into 'fighting forms', or it can even combine two together into a larger mech or weapon, sadly, this would be HORRIBLY unbalanced if I just allowed you to do it to EVERYTHING, so I put a limit on your stand, meaning it can only ever 'mech-ify' a single car sized object or combine two things smaller than a Honda Micro-Commuter... which doesn't even exist in this universe...
Have fun!
- Goddess-Chan
I let out a snort. "Alright. Stage one of the plan is done, now onto two through four."
"Kaioken~"
A red crackling aura surrounds me as I walk into a portal.
'wow... author-sama is really just pissing away the days I have left till canon... I have, what, half a month left before Beacon ACTUALLY starts? Now I am watching for when Ruby goes to 'From Dust To Dawn' and I feel like that maaay be creeping into stalker-ish territory, but meh, for the sake of the world, sacrifices must be made~'
'also, it's not stalking! It is following! and I am just making sure she doesn't get into any trouble!
I made it to a point where I can keep up a Kaioken times one for about twenty minutes give or take, and a times two for about eight... meaning the 'boosted' times two lasts about four minutes... at this point, I can also handle a kaioken times six for about twenty seconds, so that is great as well... though I mean, it isn't much when the 'start up cost' is thirty and the drawback is sixty... buuut if I can manage to lower that, I should be good~
Anything lower than three-tenths I can keep up endlessly now, and even a five-tenths can be held up for a nice forty minutes!
Ruby skips into From Dust Till Dawn.
'fuck... is Canon really starting next chapter?'
I watch Roman Torchwick strut down the road with several backup dancers behind him.
'ah shit... here we go again.'
Welp, and with this we have finished the portals and pizzazz marathon, next week we move on to monster huntersman and then the remnant gamer.
And some little shit guest is doing some grand ol harassment on my other stories saying that 'omakes' and replying to guests and author notes are against the rules and that he 'reported me', but, that is blatantly not true, the rules state that you can't have entire chapters dedicated to said things, and besides, the rules also state that there should not be any mature content such as lemons or limes, but that doesn't stop any of the writers in the dxd section (To be fair, I don't know what expected when they added that hentai anime), like for real, why don't you go bother that one guy who has a 14million+ word story that is just the word 'natsu' over and over and over and over and over again? And his sequel 'Goku Kakarot' which is just those two words repeated for about 1.4-ish million words.
Now onto the guest reviews:
Ill: "It is a shame that no character is watching his stunts... that would be hilarious!
Thanks for the chapter!"
.
Sure... a Shame... now Ozpin has to work on telling the news a believable story about why a herd of 10+ giant grimm elephants have disappeared... with no trace of them ever to have existed in the first place...
.
Goteam: "So I'm guessing it's been a couple years since he tried to make a portal to the vault for the relics. So my question to you is is he capable of opening a portal now or he doesn't really need it since you can make any kind of weapon he wants with his powers? And you should totally make a dragon balls and give the dragon a funny ass name."
.
Yeah, it has been about 3-ish years, but a problem with that is that the relics all seem to be located in their very own pocket dimension, and currently, teal can only go between two realms, his own pocket dimension, and Remnant.
'come forth and grant my wish, GREG!'
.
Somebotmaybe: " Kaioken back
And it's not even the gamer fic!
Also BTW,
How does Teal know all these numbers and percentages if he doesn't have the gamer interface?
Is Teal the SECRET gamer you have been hiding from us?! Is this also mean that Mimic might also secretly be a gamer!? Dun Dun DUUNN ultimate reveals"
.
He knows the percentages because of the aura monitor app, you know, that thing that all huntsmen have on their scrolls n such that tell them their aura levels... he just had his STANDO plug in to give himself more accurate measurements.
.
D. O. F.: " for a sec there i thought you summoned Salem with all of those details about Lilith's creation and whatnot; i actually had to pause for a bit because of the 180 degree turn you went with making her naked
i must say, i personally cannot wait to see what lewd happenings you get on with Lilith (Take that, "RubyXTeal"! There's another possible pairing in this story now!)"
.
Pfft- nah, but it will be kind of interesting to see Salem find another one of 'her kind' working for a 'lesser being'. There seem to be only 4 possibilities in this story, 1: RubyXTeal, 2: WeissXTeal, 3: LilithXTeal, or finally 4: Option 1 and 2 combined
.
Cf96: " I hope theirs a kaio-what reference that be hilarious"
.
Not so much now, but a semi-kaio-what reference... without punching Ruby in the face.
See you all next week~
