Topic: Why Are My Encounters So Unusual
In: Boards ► Active Heroes
Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Posted on April 1, 2011:
Please help.
It's been a few hours since I suddenly appeared here. If Manager or any other summoned heroes on Earth Bet read this, I'm hoping that you can hear me out. If you heard the news about the commotion caused by the docks, that was my fault.

► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I'll be there as soon as possible.
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
That might be a problem…
I'm with someone at the moment, and I'm not sure if it's okay to meet with them.
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Another hero called to Earth Bet?
► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Hmm, I don't recognize that name though.
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Neither do I.
But if it's a hero from Nua Norvail…
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Oh, I know this one!
So it looks like the name stuck, huh?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Ah… Student…
You're here as well…
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Looks like Student knows them at least.
► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I've heard much about Earth Bet recently.
With Scout and Manager, doesn't that bring the number of heroes up to 5?
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
That's pretty much a full party there.
But since Student brought it up, I remember Scout now.
Were you summoned without the rest of your companions?

► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Yeah, it's just me.
Once we defeated the Demon Lord, our party disbanded soon afterward.
We still meet up from time to time, but I've mostly been on my own since then.
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Hold on a minute.
Earlier, you said that you were with someone.
But what did you mean that it might not be okay to meet them?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Well, there's a story behind that…
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
From the looks of it, this conversation is going to be interesting.
I think I'll grab some drinks and enjoy what comes next.
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
It seems that Princess Shrine Maiden's influence has already corrupted you.
Please try to limit the amount of 'restoratives' you consume.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Still, it's been a while since the last summoning.
Ever since High School Girl appeared, nobody else was called to Earth Bet.
► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
But there are still other heroes being summoned to other Earth series worlds.
Last I heard, Earth Aleph received quite a few more heroes lately.
Some of you might recall Hunter and the Star Alloy Robots.
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
We learned that random summonings have started to happen more frequently.
Despite their efforts, the Union still has yet to find a solution to the issue.
Supposedly, it has something to do with how Manager's power works.
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
That's somewhat correct.
To be specific, my power allows me to summon heroes.
That is only possible because of my connection to the BBS.
But because of that, there's an irregularity in the local space-time.
What that means is that heroes have an easier time being summoned here.
So even though I'm not summoning heroes on purpose, it's easy for accidents to happen.
On a related note, I feel like I should apologize to Scout.
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
It's fine, I don't blame you.

► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Student, you're still trying to find a way for heroes to return home, right?
Have you managed to contact Wayfarer yet?
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
He sent me a message telling me he was part of the investigation.
But from the looks of it, I don't think he'll be able to help anytime soon.
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Well, it can't be helped then.
But Scout, mind explaining what you mean at the beginning of the thread?
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I have to say I'm interested as well.
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I should probably start from the beginning.
A few hours ago, I found myself in an unfamiliar place.
It took me a few minutes to realize I was in another world.
And later, I recalled all the news of heroes being summoned to Earth Bet.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
So what happened next?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I figured it would be best if I sought help from Manager.
But before that, I wanted to gather some information first.
Finding a passerby, I walked up to her to ask for directions.
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Does this have anything to do with why the news is reporting about a villain fight at the docks?
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
What happened?
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Wait for it…
End of Page. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… 8, 9, 10

► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
That's correct, but I didn't find out until a while later.
The woman was kind enough to stop and answer my questions.
But right as we were talking, the sound of an explosion occurred nearby.
I wasn't sure what caused it, but I decided to investigate to see if anyone was hurt.
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
What about the woman?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
To my surprise, she followed me.
The two of us came upon a strange sight once we arrived at the scene.
A giant dragon was chasing after a man riding what appeared to be a metal mount.
► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
A metal mount?
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I bet it's something like a bike or a motorcycle.
Pretty sure Scout wouldn't know about vehicles other than carriages.
Since this is Earth Bet, I'm guessing that the man was a hero?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Ah, yes…. I believe that is correct…
The man brandished a halberd in response to the dragon chasing him.
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
The dragon you mentioned is a local villain named Lung.
I'm pretty sure that the man you're talking about is Armsmaster.
He's a Tinker and the leader of the local branch of heroes in the city.
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Tinker?
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
It's a type of classification for how powers work here on Earth Bet.
A Tinker basically means that their power allows them to build advanced tech.
► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
An ability that specializes in technology…
Such an unusual world…

► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Anyway, the two of them continued fighting in the distance.
I noticed that there were several people nearby unconscious.
Not knowing what else to do, I decided to tend to the injured first.
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
A reasonable decision.
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I came upon a young woman who noticed my approach.
Without warning, she suddenly grabbed onto me with tears in her eyes.
She quickly explained to me that she was kidnapped by the people around her.
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Her kidnappers were unconscious?
Were they taken out by the guy Armsmaster?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I believe that is the case.
The woman who followed me explained that the men were members of a local gang.
Pleading for help, the kidnapped woman asked that I take her away while the dragon was distracted.
► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Let me get this straight:
- You met a woman who was unafraid of heading into conflict
- You encountered a hero fighting a villain
- You discovered another woman who was in the middle of being kidnapped
Is that about right?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
That about sums it up.
Since the kidnapped woman was injured, I was told by the other woman to help carry her to safety.
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I'm assuming that the dragon villain was the one who ordered her to be kidnapped.
Didn't he notice you and your companion trying to run off with his captive?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
He did.
Luckily for us, he was distracted by the hero fighting him.
Because of that, the two of us were able to carry the woman away safely.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
So far, this seems interesting.
Did something else happen after that?

(Showing Page 6 of 10)
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
While we were escaping, we came across something unusual.
Another woman was driving what appeared to be a giant metal vehicle.
The driver was recklessly driving around and was damaging her surroundings.
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I'm seeing a lot of mentions of women showing up…
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Careful Playboy, your jealousy is showing.
So Scout, when are you getting to the twist of this story?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Just hold on for a moment, I'm gathering my thoughts.
For some reason, the driver started to approach us with the intent to harm.
Right as I was about to do something, light suddenly exploded from right next to me.
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Huh?
► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Light?
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
What?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
It turns out that the woman I first met was glowing.
And I don't mean that figuratively, I mean light was literally coming from her body.
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Woman… Light…
Why does that sound familiar?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Several beams shot toward the vehicle as a battle suddenly erupted.
Columns of light rained down while I tried to make sense of the situation.

► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Manager, got any clue who the woman is now?
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Ugh… I think I figured it out…
That's the enforcer of Empire Eighty-Eight, Purity.
To put it simply, she's one of the strongest villains in the city.
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
That's…
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Um…
► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Oh, dear…
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Hahaha, as expected of Scout!
And what about her opponent?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
The driver retaliated by bringing out dozens of weapons from her vehicle.
All of them shot in our direction as her vehicle continued to dodge the beams of light.
No matter how she drove, her vehicle was a destructive force as it crashed through whatever it hit.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I'm guessing that she's another villain.
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
You guessed correctly…
The driver has to be the Tinker of the Merchants, Squealer.
She's a villain that's part of another gang composed mostly of drug dealers.
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Two villains…?

Replied on March 23, 2011:
Wait, aren't we forgetting someone?
Please don't tell me that the last woman is a villain too.
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
She's the worst one of the lot!
I don't know what her problem is, but after a while, she suddenly snapped.
From out of nowhere, she started pulling out bomb after bomb and chucking it in their direction.
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Pfft…!
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Hah?
► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Erm…
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Hahahaha, and there's the twist!
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Bombs… kidnapped…
This is just a guess, but that might be the Cornell Bomber, Bakuda.
From what I heard on the news, she's basically a terrorist.
► Carouser (Rend Federation)

Uhh…

Scout, where exactly are you right now?
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Somehow, I convinced all three of them to a temporary ceasefire.
Right now, we're in some place called the Boat Graveyard.
The atmosphere here is really tense at the moment.
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
This is unbelievable…
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Honestly, things are looking bad for me right now…
So now that I've explained the situation, what should I do?
► Carouser (Rend Federation)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Run away!
► Priest (Floy Regas)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Leave as fast as you can!
► Empress (Lotus Origin)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Get to safety.
► Student (Global State)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Play dead!
► Manager (Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
I'm calling the others this instant.
Wait there while we mount a rescue operation.
Don't do anything stupid and try not to draw any attention to yourself.
► Scout (Original Poster) (Nua Norvail→Earth Bet)
Replied on March 23, 2011:
Actually, it looks like they're calling me over right now.
I think they're not willing to ignore me anymore.

Scout, you better be alive by the time I arrive!

Bit of a timeskip compared to the last chapter, but we're finally near the start of the original story. I'm also going to slowly introduce the butterflies caused by the appearance of all the heroes from the BBS. Note that for the part when Student mentioned Playboy being jealous, that's Carouser's old username and not a typo.
