A/N For those who don't know, I've put SIR and Akame ga Save on hold till I finish Shelter but Shelter has taken a lot longer than expected so I decided to reward you guys for waiting with a small extra chapter before the final arch. This chapter will focus on my OC. This chapter is kinda like a side plot, it does relate to the main story but it doesn't connect that much.
I also want to address a couple of reviews which will be after this.
One more thing: New OCs that appear in this chapter will not appear again in this story. They will appear again in the sequel...if there is a sequel that is.
Extra Chapter: Dimensional Travelers and Rebels
In the mothership, sitting on a very comfy chair was a single individual who was doing his best to contain his excitement.
The room he was in was extremely roomy. Both height and width of the room was immense. Large circular pillars made out of dark red and black metal held up the ceiling and the floor was pitch black as only dim red light illuminated the room. There was nothing in the room besides the boy's chair and a giant window that gave him a lovely view of Vale.
Barely able to stay in his seat, Jack let out a deep breath, "Ahhh! It's about time this story got interesting."
Jack: Dimensional Rebel of Dark Technology
Summoning a vending machine with his micro cubes, Jack stood up and got himself a can of soda. He opened it, allowing the satisfying sizzle sound of the drink escape the can.
He was about to take a sip when he suddenly he sensed something...no, it was someone.
As a response, Jack...grinned amusingly.
He turned around and looked down the room. At the end of the large room was a single individual hiding herself in the shadows of the room.
"How nice of you to visit." Jack taunted as he lifted his arm to sip his soda.
But before the can of soda could even reach his lips... a giant three headed black dog appeared out of nowhere and jumped at Jack, showing him it's vicious sharp teeth.
Dropping his soda, Jack summoned four black and red rocket launchers and fired tens of missles at the dog. The missle hit and all three heads of the dog exploded into bits, splattering purple goop everywhere.
Straight after that, a giant grey beetle, the size of a plane, magically appeared behind Jack and chopped Jack's body in half with it's sharp claw. Both Jack's upper and lower body was sent flying in two directions.
Unfazed by this, Jack used thousands of micro cubes to regenerate his lower body before doing a backflip in a mid air to land gently of the ground. He clicked his fingers and under mere half seconds, thousands of micro cubes combined together to create a red and black truck.
The truck fell from the sky and crushed the giant grey beetle, causing it's broken bones to fall everywhere in the room.
Jack chuckled, "Is that all you can d-"
Before he could finish that sentence, black slimy tentacles appeared below Jack and wrapped themselves around him, imoblising him.
Reacting two times faster than Jack, the individual who was hiding in the shadows of the room, teleported from the end of the room to right behind Jack.
Not giving Jack a single chance to react, the girl summoned a demonic spear and stabbed him through the chest.
Jack, for the first time in ages, flinched in shock.
But his shock quickly turned to a bright smile as he turned his head to look at the girl's appearance.
The girl had black hair and wore a dark purple, skull-patterned, hoodie which combined perfectly with her blackish-violet skirt and stockings. She seemed to look around the same age as Jack but a bit older.
Jack grinned as he had actually predicted this girl's arrival, "Hallo sis."
Gwen: Dimensional Traveler of Nightmares
Gwen replied silently by pulling her spear out of Jack's chest. Impaled through the tip of Gwen's spear was a glowing red and black sphere.
That red and black sphere was none other than Jack's core. Since Jack's core was no longer in his body, he could no longer move.
The girl grabbed Jack's core and held it in her hand.
Gwen had him.
At any point, she could've easily crushed the core and end Jack's existence forever yet...she remained completely still, her dark purple eyes just staring at Jack's core.
"You... can't do it, can you?" Jack grinned playfully, despite his vulnerable state.
"Tch." Gwen sourly and forcefully shoved Jack's core back into his body. The tentacles wrapped around Jack disappeared and the hole in Jack's chest closed itself.
"You haven't change one bit." Gwen said with a very annoyed and disgusted expression.
"Nice to see you too sis." Jack teased again.
"Jack?"
Jack and Gwen turned to see that Illyasviel along with Ferid, Kurumi and Sing-love had entered the room.
Black Asobin, who was resting in Jack's phone, also woke up.
"Ara-ara." Kurumi commented.
Sing-love bored expression shifted into an interested one, "What do we have here?"
Ferid looked at the mess that Jack and Gwen left, with an amused expression he spoke, "Oh my, has the battle already began?"
"Who is she?" Illyasviel asked, looking skeptically at Gwen.
Gwen glared at all five characters that were present in the room causing Illyasviel and Black Asobin to shiver in fear.
"What great timing!" Jack exclaimed as he gestured his hand towards the girl, "Meet my sister, Gwen."
Ferid, Sing-love and Kurumi looked at Gwen's serious and emotionless expression before looking at Jack's playful and teasing expression.
"Sorry I don't see any resemblance." Sing-love said bluntly.
"Ahahahaha! We get that a lot." Jack said as he casually wrapped his arm around Gwen's neck therefore annoying her even further. Gwen's annoyed expression almost made Black Asobin pass out from horror.
Gwen in general was radiating a very scary aura although Jack seemed to be used to it.
The girl of nightmares pushed Jack away and sighed disappointedly, "What are you doing Jack?"
"Having fun, what does it look like I'm doing?" Jack replied casually.
"You're going to get yourself erased," Gwen replied bluntly, "do you not understand the risk you're taking?"
"yeah, but what's life without risks?" Jack countered.
Gwen let out another annoyed sigh, "Jack, listen to me, by doing this, you've broken a very crucial rule. You're lucky it's only Jason whose hunting you down. But you can't keep this up for much longer and you know that."
"That is exactly why we are at the last arch, Sis." Jack replied, he placed emphasis on the word sis just to annoy her. You could tell Jack was being half sincere about what he was saying.
"This is serious Jack, what you're doing here is classified as the highest order of treason," Gwen glared at Jack one last time, "I'm warning you, the consequences for your actions can be severe..."
In the middle of the a grass field at the cold of night, a family of small squirrels bunch up together as they shivered in the cold.
A hooded man walked past and notices them. He instinctively approached them with a friendly gesture, "Oh hello there. What's wrong?"
The oldest squirrel pointed at the a fallen tree which used to be their home.
"Aww, did your house get destroyed?" The man asked.
The squirrels nodded and as they shivered more.
"Don't worry little guys, I'll solve your problem." With that, the man raised his arm and clicked his fingers.
Within half a second, a massive tree, the size of a skyscraper, grew from the ground in front of the man. On it's branches, grew a variety of fruit and leaves that made a healthy rustling noise when the wind blew on them. The thickness of the trunk was enormous compared to normal tress and it's branches spreaded far creating shade from the moonlight. Most importantly, there was an abundant in acorns and nuts.
John: Dimensional Traveller of Nature
While the baby squirrels cheered, the parents were a bit overwhelmed.
John laughed nervously as he scratched his head, "Too much?"
Meanwhile, somewhere in space in an asteroid field.
A hooded teenager jumped from one space rock to another, evading every icicle that was thrown at him.
Upon landing on another asteroid, he punched the asteroid and smashed it into many sharp pieces. The sharp pieces were suddenly engulfed flames and the man punched his fist forward firing all the sharp rock pieces at his chaser.
The tennager's persuer summoned an ice wall, blocking the attack before flying towards him.
"Geez Alice, you're really not going to stop until you have me huh? Am I that attractive?" The teenager teased while amidst battle.
Ignoring his taunts, Alice summoned a large dragon, two times bigger than a plane, made completely out of ice to attack him.
Alice: Dimensional Traveller of Ice
"Oh well, I guess that did what I love about you after all." Jake commented as he prepared himself.
Jake: Dimensional Rebel of Stars
Jake clicked his fingers and out of nowhere, thousands of flamming meteors appeared and they were all fired at Alice.
"...", Riding her ice dragon, Alice summoned thousands of giant spikes made out ice and they were all fired at Jake.
Flying towards each other with no hesitation, the two powerful individuals clashed.
In the middle of nowhere, sitting on an abandoned car was a girl.
The girl wore a hood that covered her face but the headphones she wore were clearly visible.
Nodding her according to the music she was listening to, Kate closed her eyes as she just relaxed.
Kate: Dimensional Traveler of Sound
"I know you used to be a cop and all, but you sure are persistent, Marcus." The woman yawned with boredom, "can't you just let it go?"
"After all the felonies you've committed, that's practically impossible." Marcus replied as he leaned on his kane.
Marcus: Dimensional Traveler of Chronicles
"You know for someone who can control history, you sure like to dwell on people's past mistakes." The woman commented.
"There's a difference between a mistake and a crime," Marcus countered as he lifted his kane and spun it. He then pointed his kane at the woman with a charming smile, "Now, are we going to do this, or are you going to keep running? The choice is yours, Amy."
"You love that kane way too much." Amy sighed as she summoned two shiny crystal blades along with an army of red crystal soldiers.
Amy: Dimensional Rebel of Gems
Marcus flipped a coin.
They faced each other as the coin was flung to the air.
The coin hit the ground and with no hesitation, Marcus sprinted forward.
With her army behind her, Amy swung her weapons and it was at that moment,
That Amy's precious, powerful, shiny crystals... clashed with a kane.
In the middle of a barren grey wasteland, a hooded, mysterious woman was lying on the ground...thinking.
The sun was just about to set, creating a fitting background for the woman's face of deep thought.
It was peaceful.
Besides the three individuals hanging out in the middle of all it, there were no other signs of life nearby
Yet, something caused the woman to be thrown into a large train of thought.
"Is something bothering you Eve?" A hooded man who was standing next to woman, asked out of curiosity.
At the first, Eve didn't give a reply as she was still thinking deeply. She lifted her hand which held a single drop of water on the tip of her finger.
Ranked 3rd among the Four Originals
Eve: Dimensional Traveler of Liquids
"Hey Adam?" Eve finally spoke, "What do you think about it?"
With a stern yet calm tone, Adam look forward and replied, "In a way, you can't really blame any of the rebels for turning rogue."
Ranked 2nd among the Four Originals
Adam: Dimensional Traveler of Solids
"Especially since each traveler is gifted with immense powerful, I can understand their motives," Adam continued before grimly saying, "but the rules are there for a reason. Leaving them out there will cause massive disruption, we can't simply let them be."
"Yeah...I guess you're right." Eve replied.
As silence walked by, Adam and Eve looked over to the third member of the party.
The third member was a boy wearing a hood that covered his face. He was lievitation in mid-air with his legs crossed.
The boy held a calm expression with his eyes closed and arms crossed.
Adam and Eve didn't bother to disturb Abel's meditation as they knew there would be no point.
Ranked 1st among the Four Originals
Abel: Dimensional Traveler of Matter
In a dark alleyway where even moonlight could not reach, a cloaked figure stood in the middle.
The place was pitch black.
It was a place where corruption took shelter and darkness roamed freely.
Radiating a wicked and malicious aura, the dark individual took out a small knife and with it, he left a small cut on his own finger, purely for fun.
Ranked 4th among the Four Originals
Ivan: Dimensional Traveler of Blood
Gwen glared at Jack as she gave her last warning, "There's a reason why dimensional travelers are forbidden to interact with characters. If the other travelers find out you're here and what you've been doing...They'll erase you from existence."
Sing-love, Ferid and Kurumi were quite intrigued while Illyasviel and Black Asobin gulped softly.
Jack on the other hand, wasn't fazed at all. With a bright and innocent, Jack grinned teasingly, "I love you too sis."
"Hmph..." Gwen sighed tiredly signifying that she gave up. With nothing else to say or do, Gwen summoned a dark purple portal. Without even saying goodbye, she walked into it and disappeared from sight.
Jack stood there, not worried at the slightest.
After an awkward moment of silence, Kurumi commented.
"Ara-ara."
Beacon hill. A hill where the wind blew gently and trees stood peacefully.
For some people, it was place of triumph while for others, it was a place of disappointment.
Pass or fail, this was a place where many would gather to work together.
Sitting on the tip of beacon hill, looking over at the forest, was a hooded boy.
The boy's face was hidden by his hood...but his face of deep contemplation was visible.
Jason lifted his arm and even realised that his hand was shaking from anxiety.
He sighed.
Jason: Dimensional Traveler of Light Technology
Using his ability, thousands of small micro cubes appeared and combined together to create a small blue and white cube.
Debating whether he had made the right choice or not, Jason played with the cube.
He stopped playing with it when he sensed someone's presence.
But before he could confirm the presence... a giant, pink, adorable elephant appeared out of nowhere and pushed him off the clift with it's trunk.
Falling to the bottom of the clift, Jason summoned a blue and white hoverboard to prevent his collision.
He then summoned five blue and white cannons and aimed them.
But turns out he was looking in the wrong direction as a rainbow hula-hoop appeared beneath his feet. The hula hoop wrapped itself around Jason, trapping him. He was about to free himself, when suddenly, clouds made out purely out of cotton candy appeared from below and engulfed Jason's entire body except for his head.
It was at that moment, Jason realised who his attacker was.
"BROTHER!"
The cloud of cotton candy and rainbow hula-hoop disappeared and Jason was instantly tackled by a hooded girl.
The girl's hoodie was bright pink and she wore pink and white striped-stockings. His skirt was magenta with a cute adorable picture of a teddy bear's head on the side. Instead of shoes, the girl wore fluffy rabbit-themed shoes.
The tackle resulted in Jason and her colliding into a tree but neither of them felt any pain.
"It's so nice to see you again," after hugging him for way too long, the girl jumped up and noticed Jason's expression, "Yeeks, what's with the gloomy face. No worries, I'll fix that."
The girl casually slapped Jason's face twice before shoving a blue lollipop in his mouth and placing a love-heart sticker on his cheek.
Jason stared blankly at the girl.
"There we go! That's the brother I know!"
Jason spat out his lollipop and gently ripped the sticker off his cheek, "Why are you here, Jessie?"
Jessie pouted with a puppy dog expression, "Hmm? Am I not allowed to just check on my little brother?"
Jessie: Dimensional Traveler of Dreams
"Why are you here Jessie?" Jason repeated himself before clarifying, "and also, I'm the older than you."
"Aww come on!" Jessie complained like a small kid, "Can't I be the older one, I mean you're only older than me by like-"
"7 months." Jason finished.
"Only seven months!" Jessie exclaimed, "that's like...a quarter of a year."
"Why are you here Jessie?" Jason repeated again.
"Well..." Jessie fiddled with her fingers, "I was just wondering...if I could..."
Jason stared blankly as Jessie took forever to answer.
"If I could...you know...JOIN YOU!"
"No."
"Aww come on!" Jessie pouted with an annoyed yet adorable expression, "I could help you with what you're doing. We can work together! Just imagine how much fun we'll have!"
"No," Jason replied bluntly, returning to his depressed expression, "the last thing I want to do is get you involved with all this."
Jessie flinched as she had never seen her brother like this, "Brother? Are you okay?"
"You should leave Jessie...now." Jason continued as he looked away.
Knowing that pushing him would only make things worse, Jessie nodded, "Okay..."
A pink portal appeared behind the girl of dreams.
The girl walked into the portal, but not without giving Jason one last glance, "See you..."
Jason didn't reply as he looked the opposite direction.
With that, Jessie walked into the portal and just like that, she was gone from sight.
Jason took in a deep breath...and sighed.
A/N End! Sorry if it was too short. I'm going to finish Shelter now as fast as possible so I can return to this but I just want to say, I love how patient you all are despite how long I take now to post chapters. Reminder: New OCs that appeared in this chapter will not appear again in this story. They will appear again in the sequel...if there is a sequel that is. I just wrote this because I felt sorry for the ones who were looking forward to more SIR but have to wait for so long because of my laziness.
Anyways, reviews.
Overall, I want to thank everyone who reviewed and I'm glad you're all hyped. Sorry for leaving you with a massive cliffhanger.
Noanassa: Good idea! I'll keep that mind until Stella fights, so don't worry. As for developing Black's character, I'm not sure how to do that. Her character itself is generally an emotionless character but I'll try. I will continue Akame ga save after I finish Shelter.
Bast234: yeah but that battle occured after one week of all the characters getting rest. The last battle of chapter 40 was suppose to a surprise and throw everyone off their seats but I totally get where you're coming from.
Now! The overall complaint in last chapter was Jack and Jason being way too overpowered. And you know what...I totally agree with you. (Fun fact: I kinda addressed this issue on chapter 18 in the conservation between Jason and Neptune but that was ages ago) I do agree with you, OCs shouldn't be that OP and should have a weakness, otherwise, battles with those types of OCs just become too predictable and boring. The problem is though, it's a bit too late to change it now though since Jason and Jack were already this powerful since the beginning of chapter 1. And in a way, it is kinda part of the plot and there is a reason for it...kinda. This may anger some people but the plot is, that dimensional travelers are generally stronger than characters. If you think about it, the good guys outnumber the bad guys by a tone load, so I thought having Jack being OP would balance it out a bit. I mean The ratio between good guys and bad guys is like 40 to 9.
Some of you didn't like the one sided battle at the end of Chapter 40 and that's completely understandable. IN my defence though, it wasn't the MAIN battle. The battle was supposed to act like a sneak peek of what Jack is capable of and not meant to be taken as the final battle. You know how in animes and games, there are those moments where the final boss will show themselves near the beginning of the story to add hype to how powerful they are, it was supposed to be like that but again, I understand your complaints.
Please remember though, Jack's battle against everyone won't be till near the end of the arch. Until then, there's still about 8 other powerful enemies you have to worry about so yeah...
Anyways, I'm really sorry for those who got annoyed at Jack and Jason being too powerful. I know it is kinda a bit arrogant of me, making my OCs so powerful like that but that's just how I wrote it. I'm really sorry about that.
Hope you enjoyed and please for wait a bit longer, I'm never going to abandon this story or any other stories I'm writing anytime soon so yeah.
So yeah...bye.
Meanwhile in the review section:
A bunch of uganda knuckles had invaded the room, causing a big mess.
It was then, they all spotted Jason.
They all pointed at him, "my brudah do you know da wae."
Jason blinked confusingly, "Huh?"
Suddenly, Jack walked into the room.
The uganda knuckles all pointed at Jack, "spit on him my brudahs."
Jack spent the rest of that afternoon, being chased by a bunch of spitting uganda knuckles.
