It was finally done, Cayde was finally avenged, after tearing through half the solar system and anyone and anything in my way the mission was finally complete. Then out of nowhere my vision goes white and I'm suddenly in a room surrounded by men and women, though with the capes it was hard to tell with 3 teenagers plus my apprentice An'ra standing near me.

"Brave hero's would you please help us and save our world from pure evil?" asked a man wearing a tiara on his head

I then notice that each of the teenagers next to me has a unique weapon, a sword, a spear and a bow. I also notice that my usual loadout is gone and I only have a shield equipped and that my other weapons are gone. Because of this I hurriedly check my inventory to make sure I still have them, and thankfully I still have them, they have just been unequipped and so I breathe a sigh of relief.

When the teens get to their feet the man once again pleads for help "Please brave heroes our world is in dire need of saving!"

"What do you mean this world needs saving?" Asked the teen holding the bow, who like the others was holding his bow is such a way that in such a way that I doubt any of them have held let alone used weapons before, I mean that guy is sliding his fingers along the edge of his sword. That is not how you test for sharpness! You're supposed to across not along the blade (Snorting) the only thing your going to do it cut your fingers.

"The story is long and complicated but suffice to say that four for are the..." at this point the genius notices that there are 5 people in front of him

"Yeah, you do know that there are five people in front of you?" I ask

"But how, this has never happened before?" Said a panicking tiara guy

"It's probably due to the fact that she is my teammate."

"Yes! that makes sense" muttering to himself "after all the heroes and their companions are transported to each wave."

Speaking louder the man goes on "Using an ancient ritual we were able to summon you four cardinal heroes here. Our world teeters on the brink of destruction, we beg you, O brave heroes! Please help us!"

Turning to my apprentice Ar'na "Is it just me, or his he being a kiss ass?"

Smirking from under her hood she responds "It's not just you."

"I guess I could hear you out, at least." Said the spear

"I refuse." said the sword

"Likewise." said the bow

I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing, not just because of how arrogant they were but because they could go from fumbling around with their weapons to acting their iron lords, I mean even the cockiest guardian has to defeat a few enemies first and after that, they either become more humble and get an understanding of their limits or they'll end up dying for good.

"We can go back to our world, right asked? We'll talk about your problems after that" said the spear

"Don't you guys feel any guilt at all for bringing us here without our consent?" Said the sword

"And if you send us back as soon as peace is restored, we'd have worked for nothing." Said the bow

"How willing are you to compensate us? Depending on the answer we might just become your enemies instead." Threatened the spear

At this point Ar'na spoke up "Are you guys for real, your complete rookies but you are acting like vanguard. What's worse is that you are demanding things and threatening a people who may have nothing to give, from the way he is acting this is their last resort so either backoff or grow a fucking pair"

Ahh, Ar'na, I should have known this was pissing you off too. You're reckless and impulsive and remind me all too much, but like me, you will help when you can, even if you're not ready for it...just like me when I joined the fireteam to face Crota.

The teens look humbled but I honestly question how long that is going to last

"F-First we want you to have an audience with the king of our country, Melromarc." Said a shaken tiara man "You can negotiate your reward with him, so if you could please follow me."

We follow the man up a flight of stairs into a throne room with a few windows on the way giving us a view of outside on the way up.

"We really are in another world." said the bow

Coming to the throne room we see that it's set up look good and to say that we are rich look at us!

'it's got nothing on calus's throne room though' I thought to myself

"So these are the Four Cardinal Heroes of ancient legend?" Asked the king "I am the king of Melromarc, Aultcray Melromarc the 32. Heroes, name yourselves"

The sword stepped up first "Ren Amaki, 16 years old, high schooler."

The spear stepped up next " I'm Motoyasu Kitamuru. 21 and a college student."

Then bow "I suppose I'm up next, Itsuki Kawasumi, 17 and a high schooler."

Then I step up "And this.." before being rudely interrupted causing Ar'na to bristle next to me from the disrespect shown to us.

"Ren, Motoyasu and Itsuka." spoke the King before I interrupted hi,

"Plus me - Callum and my apprentice Ar'na, who you seem to have forgotten, accidentally I'm sure of course."

'I don't know what this guys game is but there is no way I'm just going to let them walk over me when they are the ones who called for help, though it is odd that he didn't treat the other three the same way.' I thought to myself

"Hmm? Oh, forgive me." said the king without a single care

"You mustn't be so disrespectful to the king!" Said Itsuka

'Holy shit is this kid serious?'

"Are you thick? Or did you not notice that he ignored two out of the five people summoned, also weren't you one of the guys that were complaining before?"

Blushing Itsuka says "Well he is still the king."

I just give him a dead-eye stare. At this point, the king speaks up

"I suppose I owe you an explanation. My country, Melromarc and the entire world is headed toward destruction!"

To cut a long story short this world has an apocalyptic prophecy which mentions 'Waves' that will lead to the ruin of the world and apparently will appear in several waves. Unless the calamities wrought by the waves are thwarted, the world will end. Each country has an ancient dragon hourglass that predicts the arrival of the waves. The first wave already occurred before we were summoned, with the local knights and travelling adventurers managed to survive and fend it off. However with the waves increasing with difficulties the next wave will be even harder to survive. The hourglass's sand will continue to fall until the wave is over, currently, there is less than a month till the next wave.

"We underestimated the waves" spoke the king "once we actually experienced one we realised just how much the cardinal heroes are needed. So we followed the legend and summoned you here. We don't have any time to lose!"

"We get the gist of it now, but surely you don't expect us to save you for free?" Asked Ren

'And they are once again arrogant, that didn't take long.' I thought

"Hey Itsuka, you said something about being respectful?" I ask but receive no answer from the embarrassed bow hero

"Of course, once you repel all the Waves we shall reward you handsomely." said a man who honestly reminds me of a weasel

"Will you now? Well as long as we have your word." said Motoyasu

"We'll work with you provided you don't turn on us. But don't think you can tame us." Continued Ren

"Exactly, we can't have you looking down on us"! finished Itsuka

'You hypocritical brat, you want to stand up for yourself but have a go at me, also did they somehow plan to speak in tandem like this when I wasn't looking ?' I can already tell it's going to be impossible to work with these guys

"I trust we have an agreement. Hero's you should all check your statuses." said the king

"Uhh." said confused Itsuka

"What's wrong with you guys? It should have been the first think you noticed in this world." said Ren

'I noticed that you don't know how to handle a sword, does that count?'

"Don't you see an icon in the corner of your field of vision?" Asks Ren "Try focussing on it."

I do so and a bunch of information pops up

"Level 1 that's worrying." said Itsuka

"Yeah, no telling if we can fight like this." said Motoyasu

Looking at my own information I see that most of it is useless, the only thing it can tell me is my name, that I'm equipped with a shield, my level is 100+ and that I'm wearing gear from another world everything else is just? 'So it's like my Huds and my character profile, except it doesn't give me any useful information.' I think to myself

"This is known as status magic, an ability unique to the heroes." said the king

"So what are we supposed to do?" Asked Ren

"You must leave on an adventure to develop and upgrade the legendary weapons you have equipped!" said the king

"So these weapons are at their weakest right now?" I ask before a spear swipes down in front of me

"Can't we just use other weapons until these become usable?" Asked Motoyasu trying to show off by spinning his spear around like an idiot

"We can figure that out as we go. Anyway, it looks like we ought to train ourselves." Said Ren

'Oh, you definitely need to train.'

"We'll have to level up as much as we can."

Deciding to throw the others a bone I say "Then perhaps we should stick together, at least until you are comfortable fighting by yourselves."

"One moment heroes, I'm afraid that each one has to recruit and adventure separately." the weasel-faced man "It is said that the legendary weapons repel each other by nature." as if it was planned a message came up 'when two or more wielders of the legendary weapons operate together, it causes an adverse reaction in the weapons. Working separately is highly advised'

"If you work together it apparently hinders their development." he finished

"The sun is about to set, rest tonight and be ready to leave tomorrow. While you do that we will gather the best to form your parties." said the king

A maid walks towards and says "We've prepared rooms for you, please come this way." But wait...there's more?
