A/N Just wondering. Did anyone get the pun at the end of chapter 29, the pun that Jack yelled out...Anyways, chapter 31!
SomeonestupED: All I have to say is...I hope you don't mind. I am going to do something at the end of this chapter that possibly might bother you. If it does bother you and you don't like what I did...I am sorry and I promise won't do it again.
The sun shone high in the air as Team KNPY stood at Beacon Cliff looking at the Emerald Forest. Looking at the forest brought back memories for the team: Their Initiation and Yoshino crying.
It felt nostalgic for them to be back here.
"So..." Neptune said getting bored of the view "What are we waiting for?"
"An official huntsmen or huntress is suppose to meet us here" Kotori answered.
"Oh so were meeting an new supporting character" Neptune said breaking the fourth wall that Jason just fixed "I wonder what he/she will be like"
Plutia yawned sleepily. Those twelve hours of sleep that she had was clearly not enough for Plutia.
Yoshino felt a bit nervous returning to this place but Yoshinon the puppet comforted her with encouraging words.
Neptune then looked at Kotori who currently seems to be deep in thought "Whoa Kotori! Why are you so serious all of a sudden? It looks like you're stuck at a very hard level of a video game"
"Have any of you noticed Jason's weird change in behaviour" Kotori suddenly said grabbing everyone's attention.
Plutia blinked and shook their head "No, why?"
Kotori sighed as she wasn't surprised at Plutia's oblivious personality.
Yoshino and Neptune on the other hand noticed. She knew Jason was a good man but ever since they returned from the ocean Jason has been acting a bit down. He was always seen, thinking about something.
Neptune remembered back in chapter 6 when Jason dramatically revealed himself. Jason used to smile more back then but now...
It made Yoshino, Neptune and Kotori wonder: What was Jason doing when they were at the ocean?
"Are you team KNPY?" said an unfamiliar voice interrupting their train of thought.
Everyone turned around. Standing there was a young handsome man, with short black hair and brown eyes. He wore silver armour and held twin swords on his back. In his left hand he held a small brown bag.
"Yes we are" Kotori replied answering for the group "You must be the huntsmen that will be accompanying us"
"That is correct" The man said "Greetings, My name is Nathan Javis" (OC I created)
"Hello Nathan" Kotori greeted "My name is Kotori Itsuka, this is Yoshino, that's Neptune and she's Plutia"
"Pleasure to meet you" Nathan said politely
"So what are we doing today?" Neptune said "I assume Ozpin gave us the most important and action-pack mission"
"Oh no were just clearing out grimm" Nathan said completely disappointing Neptune.
"What!" Neptune complained "But that's so boring"
Nathan looked confused while Kotori sighed "Ignore her"
Plutia yawned. Yoshino talked to Yoshinon the puppet. While Neptune ranted to herself something about not being able to level up. Kotori was serious however Nathan found it hard to take her seriously because of the lollipop that was in her mouth.
Looking at the group, Nathan slowly realised that he was placed in a very weird group of people.
Team KNPY
Location: The Emerald Forest
Objective: Clear all remaining grimm
The Emerald Forest
Multiple explosions were heard through the forest. The group had decided to split into two groups to make the job go faster.
Kotori went with Yoshino while Nathan went with Neptune and Plutia. They decided to Rendezvous at the temple at the other side of the forest. Kotori and Yoshino went down the right side of the forest and Nathan, Plutia and Neptune went down the left side.
Yoshino shakily pulled back her bow. It's been a while since she has used this bow so she was a bit nervous using it again. Not to mention, weapons wasn't really Yoshino's style.
Using her power, Yoshino froze the arrow and then fired it. However the ice arrow missed the beowolf and the wolf jumped at her.
Yoshino covered her eyes and braced herself in fear. Fortunately, Kotori swung her axe chopping the wolf in half before it could get to Yoshino. Kotori then changed her axe into a cannon. She then fired a pillar of fire burning the rest of the wolves turning them into ashes.
Yoshino opened her eyes and looked at Kotori. "Sorry"
Kotori smiled and patted Yoshino on the head "It's okay. Just leave the rest to me"
Yoshino nodded. Kotori then turned around to face the remaining grimm...but to her surprise, all of them were dead. Kotori looked a second time just make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. The last time they were here, the forest was crawling with grimm but now it seemed like there were hardly any.
"That was fast" Kotori commented
"Maybe they're hiding" Yoshinon the puppet suggested.
"Maybe" Kotori repeated "Keep an eye out. There may still be some left. If we can't find any, we'll just meet with Nathan and the others.
Speaking of the others, Nathan, Neptune and Plutia were fighting on the left side.
Plutia yawned and didn't do anything to help. Neptune on the other hand was letting out her frustration on the wolves, the poor wolves couldn't do anything as Neptune used them as punching bags.
Neptune swung her sword releasing a wave of energy at the wolves. The wave of energy cut three wolves in half. A wolf then jumped at her from behind. However, the wolf was cut into two by Nathan's sword before it could reach her.
Neptune looked at Nathan "I could've handled that" she said not wanting to let go of her pride.
Nathan ignored her comment and sprinted at the remaining wolves, slashing his twins swords as he ran past them. With amazing agility and speed, Nathan killed the remaining wolves.
"He stole my thunder" Neptune thought to herself.
Plutia yawned again.
The three of them then heard the scream of a bird from the sky. The looked up and sawa nevermore flying towards them.
"Finally a high leveled monster!" Neptune though as she readied her sword.
However, to Neptune's disappointment, Nathan beat her to it.
Nathan faced the nevermore holding his twin swords calmly. He then pushed two buttons, one on each sword, his sword started making a mechanical noise, gears inside the swords started spinning and the tips of the swords opened revealing two muzzles. He then combined his twin swords into one weapon, together his twin swords formed a rifle.
Holding it with two hands, Nathan aimed his rifle and fired a large think beam of energy. The Nevermore's entire body was engulfed in the beam of energy. Nathan's attack literally disintegrated the giant bird not leaving a trace of it behind.
Neptune looked in shocked "He stole my thunder...AGAIN!". Despite being annoyed, Neptune had to admit, that was very impressive.
Plutia yawned. Nathan pressed a button on his rifle and it separated into two swords. He then placed his twin swords on the scabbards that was on his back.
"I think we got all of them" Nathan said
"Really?!" Neptune said not believing it "That was fast"
"Previous Huntsmen and Huntresses have already cleared out most of the Grimm in this forest" Nathan pointed out "Were just here to clear out the leftovers"
"We really we given the boring mission" Neptune mumbled to herself.
Plutia yawned "That's a very cool weapon"
"Thanks" Nathan said "I designed it myself"
"You made it?!" Neptune said not believing that a mere side character was able to make something like that.
"Everyone makes their own weapons at Signal" Nathan said
"Signal?" Neptune asked
"It was the academy I went to before moving to Beacon" Nathan said before asking Neptune a question of his own. "I can tell you guys aren't from around here. Where do you come from?"
Neptune panicked for a split second while Plutia yawned again "Umm...MISTRAL!"
Nathan nodded as they all started walking towards the temple "That's cool. I never been to mistral. What's it like?"
"Umm" Neptune said. She has been to Mistral thanks to that Cargo Ship Mission, but she stayed on the ship so she didn't really know what it was like "It's great"
Nathan looked at her suspiciously, he already knew Neptune was hiding something but decided it was none of his business. The three of them continued to move forward towards the temple.
The Temple
"Hey Kotori" Nathan said as he saw Kotori and Yoshino hanging out in the temple.
Kotori noticed him, Neptune and Plutia coming "Hey! How did it go"
"It went smoothly" Nathan said "How about you?"
"Same" Kotori said before looking at Neptune. Kotori looked as Neptune seemed to be taking to herself.
"How am my suppose to level up like this" Neptune mumbled to herself.
Kotori sweatdropped "What are you mumbling about?"
Plutia yawned "So what now?"
"Now!" Nathan said clapping his hands together "We have lunch"
He reached his hand into the small brown bag that he was holding and pulled out a sandwich.
"Wait!" Neptune said but stopped when her stomach growled "We were suppose to bring lunch?"
Kotori just sighed "Don't worry, I brought food" she said pulling out four burgers out of her bag.
"I knew I could rely on you" Neptune said innocently acting like she was Kotori's best friend. She rudely snatched one of the burgers from Kotori's hand and began eating. She hummed meaning she loved it. "Wow! This is really good! Where did you buy this from?"
"I didn't buy them" Kotori said giving Plutia and Yoshino a burger "Shido made them"
Plutia yawned again before eating.
"Shido can cook?!" Neptune asked
Kotori nodded taking a bite out of her own burger. Yoshino took small bites out of her burger in the most adorable way possible, it had been so long since Yoshino has tasted Shido's cooking so this was a special moment for her.
"Who's Shido?" Nathan asked out of curiosity
"My brother" Kotori answered
"oh okay"
After that there was silence. Everyone just resumed eating with no one saying anything. There wasn't really much to talk about anyways.
Plutia was the first to finish eating and went straight to sleep.
Yoshinon tried to steal Yoshino's food.
Kotori and Nathan ate quietly not saying a word.
Wanting to fill up the emptiness of silence. Neptune thought of a random topic and grinned teasingly at Nathan "So! Nathan, do you have crushes"
That was a question that Nathan certainly did not expect that question. Nathan laughed nervously scratching his head, his cheeks was a bit red now "Well, I do have one"
This caught the attention of Team KNPY, Plutia was still asleep though. Neptune eagerly wanted to know "Who is it?! Who is it?!"
"You probally don't know her" Nathan replied. "But I guess you could say I felt love at first sight"
"What's her name?" Kotori asked "We've met a lot of people in the past so we might know
"Her name is Natalia Ellingsworth" Nathan replied "Know her?"
"That is so cliche" Neptune commented "Just by hearing the name I can tell you guys are meant to be together"
Her comment was completely ignored as Kotori shook her head "Sorry never heard of it. What's she like?"
Nathan laughed a bit when Kotori asked "I honestly don't know. Even after my time in Beacon, we've never met in person. Natalia didn't actually train in Beacon, she only visited the school because her father used to attend Beacon."
"I see" Kotori said crossing her arms. She had finished eating and once again had a lollipop in her mouth.
"You should try talking to her!" Neptune suggested "Come on! If I know the author any better, then he's probably going to ship you with her"
Nathan sighed, Kotori had already told him to ignore Neptune's weird comments but he understood the first bit "I can't, She stopped visiting when her father graduated and I don't know where she lives"
"You'd be considered a stalker if you did" Kotori pointed out. "and I guess there's nothing you can do now other then wait and hope that fate will bring you together"
"Yeah I guess you're right" Nathan replied.
Just when the topic was about to fade, Kotori remembered something and looked at Neptune "Speaking of crushes, who's this Sheogorath guy I've been hearing about"
Neptune stared at Kotori blankly "Sheo-who?"
"Sheogorath" Kotori repeated "Yesterday, I met Mato in the cafeteria and according to her. You and this Sheogorath guy was walking around the academy telling people that you were a couple"
Neptune stared blankly at Kotori "I have a boyfriend?"
"According to Mato, yes" Kotori said "And I'm pretty sure Mato wasn't lying. She's not the type of person who would lie about this kind of thing"
"Wait, did you say yesterday" Neptune asked.
"Yeah. Why you ask? What did you do yesterday?" Kotori asked back
Just like the others, Neptune was now very confused. Yesterday, Neptune was with Jason inside another author's fanfic which meant she wasn't suppose to be at Beacon and this Sheogorath character sounded really...Neptune finally understood the situation.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Neptune exclaimed, confusing everyone even more.
"What?" Kotori asked
"Sheogorath!" Neptune said acting innocent "Yeah I know him"
"Wait" Kotori said not believing that someone actually fell in love with an idiot like Neptune "So you do have a boyfriend! That's so wrong!"
"Says the girl who in love with her own brother" Neptune mumbled to herself before continuing "No, he's not my boyfriend. Sheogorath is my twin sister's boyfriend"
Everyone stared blankly at her. "You have a twin sister?" Nathan asked
"Don't you mean Nepgear!?" Kotori asked
"No silly" Neptune said laughing nervously "I mean my twin sister Jupiter!"
Kotori and Yoshino blinked twice "Jupiter?"
"yeah!" Neptune said dispiritedly trying to think of a reason in her mind "I never told you?"
Kotori and Nathan just stared at Neptune suspiciously.
"Oh look at the time!" Neptune exclaimed even though she didn't have a watch "Guess it's time to go! I'll go with Plutia and go down the right side!" before anyone could say anything, Neptune carried sleeping Plutia on her back and ran off.
Out of all people, Nathan was the most flabbergasted and at this point, not even Kotori understood Neptune "Ignore her"
"You told me that already" Nathan said standing up "But she was right about one thing, it's time to go. Since she took the right we'll take the left"
"How about down the middle?" Kotori asked
"That area has already been cleared by previous huntsmen and huntresses" Nathan replied.
That answer gave Kotori another question "Why are we clearing the forest of grimm. Wouldn't it be easier for future students to pass initiation if there's no grimm"
"That is true" Nathan replied "However, there's actually suppose to be a limit of grimm that should roam the forest"
Kotori was quite surprised by this "You mean the number of grimm in this forest is controlled"
Nathan nodded "In each initiation, there's only suppose to be a limited number of grimm. After we clear the forest, a transport ship should arrive and drop off the right number of grimm."
"What if the forest has more grimm than it's suppose to have?" Kotori asked
"Then the initiation is suppose to be canceled until it's cleared" Nathan answered "If you were allowed to have initiation even with the amount of grimm that was hear last week than Ozpin must've had great faith in you"
"A friend of my mine told me some people died at our initiation" Kotori replied
"I heard about that" Nathan said "It's a shame. But I guess that's what you sign up for"
Now that Kotori thought about it. Ruby said that they only had to deal with one Nevermore and one Deathstalker.
"Anyways, we should probably get going"
With Plutia still on her back, Neptune continued running.
They were no grimm nearby which was good since it would be hard to fight with Plutia sleeping.
Neptune slowed down because of fatigue and continued walking.
One thing was going off in Neptune's mind. Sheogorath. She already knew that Sheogorath wasn't from this fanfiction story but she didn't know who it was. Neptune reminded herself to talk to Jason after this.
After that Neptune got frustrated "AHHH! Why do we get the boring mission! Isn't the main character suppose to get the most dangerous mission! How am I suppose to gain experiences from this. The author could've sent one of the Top Ten Wanted Criminals to fight us but NOOOOO! He wants to be a terrible writer and write an extremely boring chapter with the best characters in the Fic"
As Neptune rants to herself. A group of 5-7 figures hide in the trees stalking her.
Yoshino hid behind Kotori. Even if there was hardly any monster nearby, the forest itself scared Yoshino.
There were many times where Nathan wanted ask why a child like Yoshino was here. But he thought against it when he remembered Ozpin allowing Ruby to attend. Everyone knew Ozpin was a wise man, if he allowed Yoshino to be here then he must have his reasons.
Suddenly Kotori stopped. "Someone is watching us"
Yoshino got scared and clutched harder onto Kotori's clothes. Nathan sensed it as well. "We know you're there! Show yourself!"
Suddenly, around 20 figures both men and women jumped from the trees and surrounded Nathan, Kotori and Yoshino. Each one of them held a sword, axe or gun and wore a mask that covered their face.
"Why are there people here?" Kotori asked taking out her axe.
Nathan narrowed his eyes for he already knew this situation "Just recently, A group people, who failed initiation, gathered together and tried to sabotage it."
"Sabatage?" Kotori asked "How are they going to do that?"
"You know when I said a transport ship will carrying the right amount of grimm for the next initiation. Well in order to transfer them, the grimm are immobilised and placed in a container. They're planning on killing the grimm while they're immobilised"
"Wouldn't they just be disqualified?" Kotori asked
"They use mask to hide their identities" Nathan explained "They even make sure, not say a word so we can't find out what their voices sound like"
Before Kotori could reply to that, two men, one holding a sword, the other holding an axe charged at Nathan.
Nathan instantly reacted and zoomed past them with his twin swords. For a second of silence, everyone stood still. Then, the two men that charged at Nathan fell to the floor, their weapons now in pieces.
Four more jumped at Kotori. Fire gathered around Kotori's axe, she swung it sending all four of them flying across the field, crashing into the trees.
Another held a box. She pulled back her bow and shot at Yoshino. Yoshino couldn't blocked or even attack back. But instead, she simply dodged it in fear.
Kotori glared at the women who shot, she swung her axe firing a wave of fire. The wave of fire burned both the women and the two men that was behind her...and a couple of trees.
"KOTORI! YOSHINO!" Nathan called kicking one of the masked men in the face "Go up ahead and protect the transport ship! I'll deal with these people". Nathan combined his two swords together to form a rifle. He fired a large laser beam clearing the path for Kotori and Yoshino.
She was a hesitant with Nathan's order but followed it anyways. "Let's go Yoshino!"
Yoshino was worried for Nathan but still took Kotori's hand.
"Finally! Some Interesting!" Neptune put Plutia down near a tree and faced the group go people who had ambushed her. "I can tell you're not really strong but you'll just have to do"
One of them stared at Neptune "How did pipsqueaks like them get into Beacon!"
"Shut up! They'll hear you! Just get rid of them!"
"Hey! Who are you calling a pipsqueak!" Neptune grabbed out her sword, she swung it firing a wave of purple energy. All 7 masked figures moved out the way dodging the attack. They dodged and Neptune's attack ended up chopping down at least five trees that was behind them.
"Whoa!" One of the masked men exclaimed "She's stronger than she looks"
"I told you to shut up!"
Plutia snored softly.
"ONE OF THEM IS SLEEPING! They're underestimating us"
"Oh for crying out loud! I told you to shut up!"
Neptune just watched as the masked figures argued among themselves. She started laughing at them which really annoyed them.
"Oh you think this is funny!"
"Why do you think I'm laughing!" Neptune exclaimed laughing even harder.
"We'll see who's laughing after I DO THIS!" The man pulled out a gun and fired it at Neptune.
Neptune could've dodged or blocked. She decided to dodged just so she could look cool...however, Neptune instantly regretted that decision when the bullet passed her and hit the sleeping goddess right in the head.
Everyone froze. Silence immediately took over as everyone looked at Plutia.
With smoke steaming from Plutia's head, she slowly opened her eyes. She was not happy.
"Nice going guys" Neptune said sarcastically while shivering in fear "You've successfully doomed us all"
To get there faster, Kotori and Yoshino flew across the sky in their astral dress. They reached the bottom of Beacon Hill just in time for the Transport ship to arrive.
It was then they saw it. Next to the transport ship were 5 giant containers. One contained a Nevermore, another contained a Deathstalker, another contained again snake, and the last one contained a horde of beowolves and Ursas.
They were relived that they arrived first but they still had work to do.
There were five vale soldiers guarding the containers. When they saw Kotori and Yoshino, they were a bit confused "Where's the huntsman that's suppose to be with you?"
"Were under attack by a gang of masked individuals" Kotori replied
The soilderds recognised what Kotori meant. "I see, so those cheaters are back". The solider faced his fellow comrade "Go and request for reinforcements. We'll hold them off and protect the grimm until they arrive "
"Yes sir" the solider then left.
The remaining four vale guards took out their laser guns and loaded them. Kotori prepared her axe while Yoshino hid behind her. Yoshino was now used to fighting grimm but now their opponents were other humans.
Ever since Kotori arrived in this world. She knew she would have to do lots of different things in order to return home. But protecting grimm was the last thing Kotori expected to do.
The wind blew and silence filled the field. Nothing was heard which made everyone feel paranoid.
Then, after hearing the sound of a twig cracking. A figure wearing a black cloak with mask showed himself. The cloak figure was both tall and averagely muscular.
Behind him stood two more people, both wearing mask and were shorter and skinner.
"They're coming at us with only three people?" Kotori thought to herself. "They must have a reason if they're this confident"
Suddenly, the two shorter and skinner figures sprinted at them. The vale guards immediately reacted and fired at them.
The two figures charging at them easily dodged each laser that came their way. As they got closer, they both pulled out two axes.
Kotori charged forward and swung her axe at one of them. However the man did a front flip dodging the attack.
"He's fast" Kotori thought to herself as the man aimed his weapon at her.
Before Kotori could react, the masked man jabbed one of his axes on Kotori's forehead. Kotori's aura reduced the damage but it still hurt.
As Kotori fell, the two double axe men sprinted at the four vale guards. Two of the vale guards pulled out a sword and charged at them while the remaining two stayed to continue firing.
The two masked men clashed with the two vale guards. Their axes clashed with their swords.
Watching from afar, One of the vale solider still carrying a gun fired but the masked man dodged and used the momentum to kicked one of the vale soldiers in the face. The second masked man swung his second axe knocking the sword out of the other vale guard's hand and then swung his other axe knocking him out.
Yoshino looked in horror. She wanted to help but at the same time she didn't want to hurt other people.
The masked man still holding double axes sprinted at Yoshino. The two remaining Vale guards stood in front of Yoshino, protecting her and fired lasers at the men who were sprinting at them with their guns.
Again, the two masked men easily dodged the upcoming lasers while charging at the same time. One of them threw an axe at the vale solider hiding him in the shoulder.
The last masked man successfully reached the last vale guard and kicked him in the face knocking him out unconscious.
The only person who was left was Yoshino herself. Yoshino stood their, completely frozen from fear. She could've ran but she didn't want to leave Kotori behind.
One of the masked man raised his axe and swung it at Yoshino.
Suddenly, a shield appeared around Yoshino and his axe broke. The two man were completely flabbergasted not because of the shield but because the feet stated freezing into ice.
A small blizzard started to form around Yoshino.
But before it got worst, both masked men were grabbed by the neck by a familiar person. "Aren't you guys taking this a little bit too far?"
Before they could react, Kotori smashed their heads together knocking them out cold.
The blizzard around Yoshino disappeared and she was glad to see Kotori was alright.
The place where Kotori was hit with an axe had completely regenerated and looked good as new.
Kotori turned to face the last clocked man who had been patiently spectating the events.
The large clocked man pulled out what looked like a more larger and more sophisticated doubled sided axe. it was similar to Kotori's but his was pitch black with a shade of grey. The large man pressed a button that was on his axe and his weapon transformed into a shotgun. He aimed and fired at Kotori.
Meanwhile, Nathan is handling an entire gang of enemies. He had already successfully dealt with half of their numbers without a single scratch on him.
He stood in the middle holding his twin swords panting heavily. He had to hurry up so he could help the others.
Five more masked figures jumped at him. Each holding a different weapon.
Nathan swiftly dodged every attack that came his way.
He moved side to side and jumped dodging the last few attacks. He then swung both his swords taking out four enemies at once. He did a front flip kicking the fifth one in the face.
He then sprinted at two other enemies who were shooting bullets at him with rifles. Nathan easily reached them unharmed and slashed his sword knocking them out.
Another guy, who held a club, charged at him from behind and swung his weapon. Nathan turned around reacting like eagle and swung his sword before the club-weidler could do anything.
With 75 percent of the enemy down, Nathan sprinted at the last remaining few.
However, the last remaining few all held long range weapons like: Shotguns, rifles and bows. They all fired rapidly at him.
Nathan stopped and a silver aura appeared around Nathan's entire body. Using his semblance, he summons a floating iron shield out of thin air and used it to block the attacks.
He then formed a fist with his hand and punched it forward. Suddenly, the floating iron shield threw itself at the remaining enemies. The flying iron shield flew left to right bashing the enemies in the head. Some tried to destroyed but Nathan controlled the flying shield with his hand and used it to knock out the last remaining enemies.
The flying iron shield disappeared when all of them were wiped out. All the masked enemies now laid on the ground groaning in pain.
Nathan stood there panting. He was tempted to take a rest but he needed to help the others.
Then, a large and fat cloaked figure stood in front of Nathan.
"There's still one left?" Nathan thought looking at the fat enemy who also wore a mask "This one looks strong. I'll need to finish him fast"
Nathan once again combined his twin swords into a rifle. He aimed at the fat clocked figure and fired a large laser beam at him.
The fat man took out a large giant sword that hid beneath his cloak.
Nathan's attack and the man's large sword clashed. A small crater formed beneath the man's feet but he kept his ground. Nathan fired for another three second string to overpower him until his weapon overheated and stopped.
He split his rifle into two swords again and looked. Once the smoke cleared, Nathan saw the large man standing there unharmed. Even his giant sword wasn't dented.
Nathan didn't waste anytime and sprinted at the large man. The large man waited patiently for Nathan to come. When he got close enough, the clocked man swung his giant sword at Nathan.
Nathan jumped causing the giant sword to hit the ground instead. He then spun around and swung both his sword at the man's shoulder. But instead of hitting flesh, he hit hard iron. Nathan discover that this man also wearing durable armour.
Under his mask, the fat man grinned. He pulled back his other arm and punched Nathan right in the stomach.
"AWK!" Nathan's mouth was wide open from the pain as he was sent flying crashing into the trees.
"He's strong" Despite the pain, Nathan stood back up, he jabbed one of his sword into the ground and leaned against it. From that one attack, his right arm was broken now and pain was rushing threw his back. He was on the verge of fainting as the fat man walked towards Nathan with his large sword.
The large man slowly walked towards him but doesn't say anything.
When Nathan looked at him, he suddenly realised how big his sword was. He started shaking, not because of pain, but because of fear. It's been a while since Nathan had this feeling. It was strange, he was never afraid of grimm yet here he was, shaking in his boots. Nathan tried to remember the last time he felt like this.
He suddenly received a flashback when he first laid eyes on... her
(FLASHBACK)
It was years ago in the cafeteria and Nathan was sitting with his best mate David Roy. Back then they were teenagers, Nathan was a very antisocial guy mostly focused on his own things and didn't really pay any attention to his surroundings.
Not until David tapped him on the shoulder "Nathan! Look over there"
"Is it really important?" Nathan said still looking at his food "I'm still eating you know-"
He stopped when he looked to where David pointed to. There was teenage girl who seemed to be delivering lunch to his father who was in the higher years. His eyes widened when he saw how beautiful she was. He was absolutely speechless.
David grinned "Oh I see you're interested"
Nathan snapped out of his trance and turned a bit red "What! No! I just- wait, I thought you weren't into romance"
"I'm not" David said casually "But you obviously are" He grinned teasingly at Nathan.
Nathan didn't say anything to that. He just looked away and continued eating.
"You should ask her out"
"W-WHAT!?" Nathan said almost choking on his food. "We haven't even met! Why would I do that!"
"It's worth the try" David replied "and besides, this might be your only chance. I heard from others that she doesn't come to this school and rarely visits. Which means this might be your only chance...Her name is Natalia Ellingsworth just in case you're wondering" David whispered that last bit.
Nathan had a giant debate in his mind. "I'll think about it"
David sighed and placed his hand on Nathan's shoulder "Nathan, You won't accomplish anything if you walk around the mountain. You have to be brave and climb your way to the top."
(FLASHBACK ENDS)
"In the end, I was too much of a coward to ask her out. Because of that I lost my opportunity and I never saw her since then" Nathan thought to himself as the fat man walked closer to him "But I'm different now. I'm not the same person I was"
An image of Natalia's face flashed through Nathan's eyes.
"I can't lose. Otherwise, how am my suppose to face her again...I can't lose" Nathan mumbled that last bit which made the man stopped.
Insert Song: Fairy Tail Lightning Flame Dragon Roaring Ost - Extended
"I CAN'T LOSE!" Nathan shouted to himself as his aura grew bigger "NOT UNTIL I SEE HER AGAIN!"
He jabbed his other sword into the ground. Nathan's aura grew larger and he let out a war cry "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
What happened next shocked the fat man.
A floating iron shield formed itself above Nathan. Then another, and another, and another, and another until there was at least 25 floating iron shields above him.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Around 10 more iron shields appeared above him.
Nathan made a fist with his right arm, the arm that was still broken, and pulled it back.
He then punched it forward.
Every single iron shield that he summoned threw themselves at the fat man. The large man snapped out of his shock and desperately swung his giant sword deflecting about four shield which proved useless since another 30 shields were flying at him.
The man was rapidly bashed by all the iron shield's in every single body part. There was nothing he could do other then received every attack that Nathan threw at him.
After being hit about 40 more times. Nathan stopped and the fat man fell over and landed on the ground creating a big BOOM!
All the iron shields disappeared and Nathan was at his limit. He started falling to the sides, slowly losing consciousness. Before he landed on the ground, he remembered team KNPY. He smiled "Sorry guys. I've done all I can...the rest is up to you"
Iris heart turned his sword into a whip and slashed it creating a defining whipping sound.
Both Neptune and the seven masked enemies stared in horror.
"Now then" Iris Heart spoke sending chills down everyone's spine "Who was the one who dared to interrupt my beauty sleep"
"IT WAS HIM!"
"I told you to shut up!"
Iris Heart chuckled "Oh don't worry about that"
Her face suddenly grew dark and was filled with anger. "YOU'LL ALL GET YOUR FAIR SHARE!"
With dark wings on her back, Iris Heart charged at them.
Out of panic, they all threw their weapons at her which Iris Heart easily dodged.
She reached the seven masked men.
The large man pressed a button that was on his axe and his weapon transformed into a shotgun. He aimed and fired at Kotori.
Kotori instantly reacted and blocked the shell with his axe. Fire suddenly emitted around Kotori's body and she charged at the man.
The man fired two more shotgun shells before turning his shotgun back into a double side axe.
Kotori moved side to side dodging the shells and swung her fire axe.
The cloaked man swung his axe and their weapons clashed with a big CLANG!
They both pulled back their weapons and attacked again. Their weapons clashed multiple times. Both sides were equally blocking and attacking.
The man raised his axe and brought it down on Kotori. With two hands, Kotori blocked his attack with her axe, when their weapons clashed, a crater appeared below Kotori's feet.
The large man then kicked Kotori right in the stomach causing her to drop her weapon. The man then changed his axe into a shotgun and shot Kotori right in the head.
Just with the man thought he won, Kotori grinned. A blue flame appeared in the large bullet holes that was in Kotori forehead. The bullet hole was already healing and Kotori's eyes flew open.
"CAMAEL!" Kotori's axe moved by itself and it flew to her hand, she then aimed in at the man's upper body.
"Fighting Viper"
Iris Heart launched a series of attacks, rapidly whipping each of them in one hit.
They were all sent flying into the air as they yelled in pain.
One by one, all seven of them rained from the sky and crashed onto the ground.
Cannon Mode: Megiddo!
Kotori's axe turned into a cannon and it fired a large pillar of fire. The man's entire upper body was engulfed in Kotori's flames, his cloak and his clothes were all burned to ashes. The man screamed in pain as the fire burned him.
Kotori stopped firing. Smoke steamed from the man's body and his upper body was a burnt colour. With his mask gone, the man's eyes were wide open in shock as he fell to the ground not moving an inch.
Panting, Kotori stood was the last one standing as Yoshino looked in amazement.
Back to Iris Hear and Neptune. Neptune stares in complete horror as all seven masked men were receiving the punishment of their lives.
Thanks to Iris's life-threading aura, Neptune couldn't move an inch until she was done with them.
By the time Iris Heart was done, all seven of them had passed from complete fear...and from being tortured mercilessly.
To Neptune's ultimate relief, Iris Heart turned back to Plutia and she yawned.
Plutia was still sleepy...but now really satisfied. She looked at Neptune and smiled "That was fun. Right Neppy!"
"yeah, fun!" Neptune exclaimed still recovering from what she just saw "We should probably meet with Kotori and the others"
"Okay!"
The two of them arrived at the bottom of beacon hill.
They saw Kotori and Yoshino tending to the injured guards. "Hey guys- whoa! What happened here?"
Kotori saw them "We got ambushed by a group of skilled fighters. How about you?"
"Same here" Neptune said nervously
"Really? How did you deal with them?" Kotori asked. It was then Kotori realised that Plutia was awake and walking. She looked really satisfied for some reason.
Neptune cleared her throat "Someone in particular got really mad...if you know what I mean". For once, Kotori understood what Neptune was saying perfectly.
Plutia looked around "Where's Nathy?"
Kotori's eyes widened as she had completely forgot about Nathan.
They arrived at the scene and the first thing they saw were a lot of bodies. Not dead bodies. More like unconcious bodies laying on the ground, some groaned in pained while others didn't move an inch.
However the only person they were worried about was the body of a young man who laid nearby the body of a fat man.
"A-are they dead?" Plutia asked
"No they're not dead" Neptune assured "They're just sleeping"
"NATHAN! / NATHAN-SAN!" Both Yoshino and Kotori ran to Nathan.
They examined him. His arm was obviously broken and had bruises all over his body.
"Does anyone have any medical knowledge!" Kotori said looking at the group.
Yoshino looked worriedly at Plutia and Neptune. Plutia and Neptune shook her head "Sorry I don't"
Everyone didn't know what to do. Nathan seemed really injured and moving him would probably make it worst.
Plutia looked a bit sad "Compa does, but she's not here"
A lightbulb appeared above Neptune's head. Not literally. She just remembered "Actually! she is!"
Everyone looked at her confusingly as Neptune walked back and raised her hand.
It took a second for Kotori to realise what she was going to do "Wait, don't tell you're going to-"
"Character Summon: Compa!" Neptune was suddenly engulfed in this blue and white light. A figure, holding a first air kit, appeared next to Neptune. The figure was a fair-skinned young girl. She had light creamy pink colour hair that was somewhat long and had curls along the edges. She wore a black headband with a C patched on the side. Her eyes match her hair colour and she wore a tan-white wool styled tank top with a red plaid skirt. This girl's name was Compa.
Plutia, Kotori and Yoshino looks in amazement while Neptune smiled triumphantly. "Okay Compa! Go and help that man, whatever his name is"
Compa blinked twice looking at Neptune. It took Compa a couple of second to realised who she was looking at. A look of surprise and happiness appeared on Compa's face and she pulled Neptune into a crushing hug "NEPTUNE!"
"EH?" Neptune was now just as confused as everyone else.
"Oh it's so good to see you again!" Compa exclaimed "I really missed you!"
Kotori suddenly remembered something that Jason said.
(FLASHBACK: Chapter 28)
"If he hasn't disappeared. Then that means you must've accidentally summoned the originally instead of a copy" Jason said casually.
(FLASHBACK ENDS)
"Compa?" Plutia said tilting her head
Compa gasped when she heard that voice "PLUTIA! Your both here!" She hugged Plutia.
"Umm excuse me?" Kotori said politely.
Compa turned around and just noticed Kotori and Yoshino. She blinked in confusion "Who are you?"
"Hi, I'm Kotori and this is Yoshino. Sorry to ruin your reunion but how did you get here?"
"Hallo Kotori. Hi Yoshino, Aww you're so adorable!" Compa said looking at Yoshino
"I know right" Yoshinon the puppet spoke.
Compa was a bit surprised to see a talking puppet but then decided to answer Kotori's question "Hi, I'm Compa and as for how I got here well...I was scouting the city looking for Plutia and Neptune as usual when suddenly a portal appeared in front of me and I felt like someone needed me so I walked through"
"That's it? Did you see anything else?" Kotori asked
Compa had to think about that "Well, I did see the words 10 Minutes above the portal but I think that's it"
Kotori placed her hand on her chin, processing this new information.
Compa looked around and finally realised something "Where are we?"
"Don't worry, We'll explain everything as soon as possible" Kotori assured
"yeah, but right now" Neptune said pointing at Nathan "We kinda need your help"
Compa had just realised the injured man and gasped "Oh my how horrible! I wish I could help but I don't have any medical supplies"
Everyone stared at her blankly.
"Have you tried looking in that first aid kit that you're holding" Neptune said pointing at the object that Compa was holding.
Compa just realised what she was holding "Oh! Well that's convenient"
It was then, Kotori also realised how oblivious this girl was.
Compa took the first med kit and started bandaging Nathan's injuries. She placed a cast around Nathan's right arm and place bandages around his back and head. As she was doing this, Team KNPY explains the entire situation to her.
"So you guys are stuck in another world again?!" Compa asked
"Again?" Kotori asked
Neptune laughed nervously "Yeah, pretty much"
"And Nepgear is here too?" Compa asked
"Yep!"
"Does that mean I'm stuck here too?" Compa asked
"No" Kotori answered "If what you said is true. Then you'll return to your world in 10 minutes"
"Aww" Compa said sadly "So we'll have to say bye again"
"Don't worry Compa!" Neptune assured "We'll be back soon...I think. ANYWAYS! Just how long have we been gone for?"
"Three years" Compa answered.
It took everyone three seconds to process that "EHHHHHHHHHH?!"
Compa nodded and then stood up "Well I'm done bandaging him. He should be fine as long as he doesn't do anything reckless". Compa looked around the forest and noticed all the unconscious bodies laying around the grass. She gasped "Should I help those people?"
"You just realise?" Kotori said.
"Don't worry about them" Neptune said "They're the bad guys. They're the ones who injured Nathy in the first place"
"Oh. So they're bad people?"
"Yep"
Before anything else could be said. Compa's body started glowing and her body began to fade.
"Looks like your time is up" Kotori said.
"Aww" Compa was really sad that she had to say goodbye since they just reunited 10 minutes ago. "Bye Plutia! Bye Neptune! Tell Nepgear I said hi. I hope you all return soon!"
"Bye Compa!" Neptune and Plutia said waving goodbye. They too were kinda sad.
Before Compa disappeared, she looked at Kotori and Yoshino and smiled. "It was nice meeting you two. Even from the short time I was here, I can tell you're both very nice people. Thank you for taking care of Plutia and Neptune."
Those were her last words before she disappeared.
Kotori, Yoshinon, Yoshino, Plutia and Neptune stopped waving. They suddenly heard someone groan.
They turned to see that Nathan was slowly waking up.
"Well that was lucky" Neptune commented.
"W-what happen" Nathan said looking up at Team KNPY, his vision was still blurry. When his vision cleared, he jumped up "What happen! Did you-"
"Calm down" Kotori said "Don't worry, we took care of the rest. But from the looks of it, it seems you did the most work"
Nathan was relieved "That's good. Guess I was worried for nothing" it was then he realised his right arm "Who bandaged my arm?"
"It was me!" Neptune claimed "Your're welcome by the way"
Nathan was a bit suspicious but decided to ignore it and thanked her.
Reinforcements finally arrived. The entire group of cheaters were all arrested, the right number of grimm were released into the emerald forest, the sun was started to set and the mission was finally over.
Now, we see Team KNPY and Nathan back on Beacon Hill. Team KNPY faced Nathan. He has a cast over his right arm and his twin swords were on his back.
"I guess this is goodbye" Nathan said. "To be honest, it was kinda fun working with you guys"
"Took the words right out of my mouth" Kotori replied.
"Yoshino wants to say: I hope you get better soon" Yoshinon the puppet said speaking for Yoshino.
Nathan smiled at Yoshino "And I hope you graduate into a beautiful huntress"
"Bye Nathy!" Plutia said
"You and Natalia are going to be a couple in the future!" Neptune declared "The way this plot is going is way too predictable and cliche!"
This time, instead of blushing at her comment, Nathan smiled "Thanks". It was nice to have some hope. Nathan said his final goodbyes before turning around and walking away in the opposite direction of Team KNPY.
Team KNPY stood there and waited until they couldn't see Nathan anymore. After a while of silence, Kotori spoke "It's getting late, we should probally get back to our dorms"
"Yay! I get to sleep again. Right Neppy?" Plutia said looking over to Neptune. However Plutia became really confused when she found that Neptune wasn't there next to her. "Where's Neppy?"

Beacon Academy
The sun is setting and students are returning to their dorms. On the very top of Beacon Academy, Jason is once again seriously thinking about something sitting on the roof of Beacon Academy.
To put it simple, Jason was having major debate with himself. This was one of those times where Jason actually didn't know what to do.
Should I or not? Was the question that Jason kept asking himself.
Before he could reach a conclusion, he was train of thought was interrupted "JASON! JASON! JASON!"
Jason turned around and looked at Neptune. "What?"
"You won't believe this! Another author came and visited this fiction story!" Neptune stated "I think his name was sheograth or something like that"
"You mean Sheogorath?" Jason corrected
"Yeah that's the one- wait, you know?" Neptune asked. "Which author was it? I've never heard of the name Sheo-whatever his name is"
"Sheogorath" Jason corrected her again before continuing. "You know when we visited the AWA school in chapter 28?"
"Yeah. What about it?"
"Apparently the author of that fic, visited this fic while we were away. He brought the Neptune from his world and created a scene which is why everyone thinks you have a boyfriend."
"OHHHHHHH! I get it now...WAIT REALLY!" Neptune exclaimed "That's so cool! I told you he was a good guy!"
Jason raised an eyebrow "You're not bothered at the fact that everyone thinks you have a boyfriend?"
"Ah don't worry about that?" Neptune assured "I'll just use the Jupiter excuse"
"Jupiter excuse?"
"Yeah Jupiter! My fake twin sister" Neptune said "The same excuse I used when we talked to the Mato from Shiogory's world"
"Sheogorath" Jason corrected her again.
"But putting that aside" Neptune said "It's a shame we were away when he visited. I really want to know what he's like"
"I saw him" Jason suddenly declared
Neptune blinked twice before finally processing what he just said "EHHHHHH?! Really? Did you meet him?!"
"Yes...and no" Jason answered.
"But how?" Neptune asked confused.
"As soon as we arrived back in our world. I instantly sensed another author's presence"
"But weren't you busy explaining the plot of AWA to me?" Neptune asked "How does time work on Fanfiction dot net anyways?"
"I honestly have no idea" Jason said with a blank expression "But as soon as I sensed his presence. I summoned a clone of myself to explain the plot of AWA to you while I went to meet him"
"Oh" Neptune said before getting excited again "So how did it go? Did you guys talk? What was the other Neptune like? You know what, Just start from the beginning and tell me every detail"
Jason sighed. Once again he knew Neptune wasn't going to stop until he gave her answers. Jason took in a deep breathe "Well, I don't know the whole story from the beginning but it went something like this"
(FLASHBACK)
Team MHYA's Dorm
Yuu and Strength had left somewhere to do something which left Rock, Mato and Miku in the room.
Mato just layed in her bed and stared at the ceiling while Miku sat on a chair staring at Mato. Since Stella was inside Mato's mind, she was forced to do the same but by now she was already used to her body moving on it's own. Stella didn't really mind though.
Rock was sitting against a wall, half asleep.
They weren't really doing anything but they weren't bored. Ever since their journey to the ocean and back, they had been exhausted and was more then happy to do nothing.
Until, a growl echoed through the room.
Rock opened her eyes and looked at Mato.
Mato realised the sound came from her stomach. Usually Mato wasn't always this hungry and always wondered why she was hungry all the time. It didn't take her long to realise something. If her stomach growled, it didn't mean Mato was hungry, it meant Stella was hungry. Since Stella and Mato was sharing one body, whenever Stella was hungry so was Mato. "Hey Rock, I'm going to visit the cafeteria quickly and feed Stella"
Rock nodded.
"Do you want me to bring any food for you?" Mato asked
Rock shook her head for she wasn't hungry.
"Okay then" Mato got up and headed towards the door. Miku instinctively followed her.
With that, Miku, Stella and Miku went towards the exit.
As they walked through the hallways, Stella apologized which only Mato heard "Sorry"
"It's okay. It's not like I'm annoyed or anything" Mato assured.
Meanwhile, Miku is wondering why Mato is talking to herself but doesn't say anything.
They continued to walk through the school. Turning left, then right, then straight and then left again...After about 15 minutes of turning left and right, Mato noticed something "Are we lost?"
"Lost? What does that word mean?" Stella asked from within Mato's head.
Miku noded. Turns out she already knew that they were lost but didn't say anything.
Mato sighed. After spending so long on those cargo ships, Mato had completely forgotten the layout of the entire academy.
Fortunately for them, Team KNOL just so happened to walk by.
"Oh hey Mato! Hi Miku!" Yuuki greeted. "What are you guys doing?"
"Looking for the cafeteria" Mato answered.
"Oh we just finished eating at the cafeteria" Nepgear said
"We didn't really eat anything since Levi was too busy dealing with Team CRDL though" Otonoshi pointed out.
"Can you please tell me where it is? I kinda forgot" Mato asked
Levi sighed and pointed in a direction "You see that idiot over there"
Mato looked to see that Levi was pointing at 'Neptune' who was currently with another man.
"Walk until you reach Neptune" Levi said "When you reach her, turn left and you should find the cafeteria door"
"Who's the guy that's with Neptune?" Mato asked
"I don't know and I honestly don't care" Levi said walking away "Come on guys, were leaving"
Otonoshi sweatdropped "I'm sorry, who's the leader again?"
With that Team KNOL left.
Mato, Stella and Mato started walking towards Neptune and the man. As they got closer, Mato noticed features of the man. The man was at an average height and had black hair. He wore a black bonnet with a pink hair design, had black eyes and a short goatee. He wore a black vest over a white t-shirt that had the picture of a magical girl on it. He wore an orange headset around his neck, black pants with white and red sneakers.
When Mato got closer she called "Neptune!"
Neptune and the man turned to look at Mato. Before they reached Neptune, Stella saw Neptune whisper something to the man and the man whispered something back, however Mato and Miku didn't seem to notice.
Neptune then stopped whispering to the man and faced Mato "Hey Mato! Where are you going?"
For some reason, that made the man smile.
"Well..." Mato said almost forgetting what she was doing "me and Miku are about to go in the cafeteria when we saw you here..." Mato then looked at the man that stood next to Neptune. "Uhm...who's he?"
"Oh! This is Sheogorath...my boyfriend" Neptune answered. For some reason, that last bit sounded a bit forced.
"Really?" Now this was something Mato certainly did not know "I never knew you had a boyfriend"
Miku tits her head at Neptune for she was just as confuse at Mato.
Neptune laughed nervously "Hehe...now you know"
Before Mato could ask anything else, Sheogorath suddenly spoke "Well...it's nice meeting the two of you but Neptune and I have serious cuddling to do"
Neptune blushed "Err...right, well...see you around" she said as she and Sheogorath started leaving.
"Umm bye..." Mato said in confusion while Miku waves her hands.
"What just happened?" Stella asked
"I have no idea" Mato replied.
Miku and Mato just watched as they saw Sheogorath and Neptune walk further away.
Suddenly, a bright blue and white light appeared next to Mato and Miku blinding them.
"I guess I kinda deserved that" said a familiar voice. The light faded, Mato was surprised to see Jason. The strange thing was that none of the students around them didn't seem to notice Jason's presence. Only Mato, Miku and Stella could see him.
Mato looked and saw Jason staring at Sheogorath. Time suddenly froze and everyone stopped moving. Only Mato, Miku, Jason, and Sheogorath weren't affected by the sudden timestop.
Sheogorath stopped walking as he already knew who was responsible for that. He turned around and faced Jason. They both exchanged glances...but exchanged no words. With neither side saying anything, they both grin at each other.
Meanwhile, Mato and Miku just watch in confusion as they are now even more confused.
After a couple of seconds, they both start moving. Jason pulled his hood over until his face was completely covered and Sheogorath places his orange headset over his ears. They both turned around and walk in opposite direction.
Time returns to normal, Jack appears out of nowhere and literally started narrating the situation. "Two Authors. Both write on the same website yet they both walk different ways. Both have the ability to make any fantasy into a reality. Will their paths ever cross again? Who knows. This is fanfiction, anything can happen."
"Today, an inexperienced boy (AKA Jason) and a skilled man will walk separate ways. Both have their own big plans for their future stories."
Sheogorath must prepare for the upcoming Interdimensional Field Trip.
While Jason must prepare himself, for he has finally decided that it's time to tell everyone...The Truth.
*The chapter ends with Sheogorath and Jason splitting ways*
This chapter was finished on 27/05/2017
Jason stops his dramatic exit, he turns around and looks back at Jack who had just finished narrating. "What are you doing?"
