"Issac sends his regards, Trash."
*BANG*
The king hangs lifelessly on his throne with two bullet wounds on his body. Malty looks at the corpse of her father, not believing that he died to a commoner. "Nonono Daddy! Kill the devil! I want him and his followers in chains and crucified!"
Motoyasu thrust his spear with unheard speed and anger. Duke gets in front of the Spear Hero and blocks the attack with a cattle prod. The Enclave soldiers see the heroes and their companions coming at them with weapons and magic. Itsuki rings arrows and hits the ones not in power armor. One of the soldiers looks up and sees an arrow coming right for him but Naofumi blocks it with his shield. "General Iwatani."
"Get up Private. You don't die in this new world." He assures the Private which makes him calm down and fires at the enemy. Nobles are either running out of the castle or fighting against Naofumi and the Enclave: Seeing them as infidels that must die. Lady Mayor walks with her Demi-Human guards to Naofumi's army. She points at fireballs coming at them and the magic users do their best to dissipate the fire. But it can still harm them so she warns them. "Shield Hero, look out!"
That warning is the only one as small explosions hit the ground. Some of them are hurt with even Naofumi knocked down from the blast. His cigar is knock off his mouth. Ren Amaki sees him and dashes at him, ready to decapitate this cheater. This army is no doubt Naofumi's NPC army and he must have hack the game to create a Sci-Fi army in this fantasy world. Bragg lets go of his gatling laser and punches Amaki with his powerfist. The impact knocks his front teeth out and crashes out of a window. His companions run out to help him, leaving Princess Malty and the other heroes to the Enclave. "Cowards! You dare leave your Princess?!" She however knows that she cannot win against these Devils. She needs to get to the Pope and he can assist them. "Damnit… Motoyasu, we need to get out of here!"
"But I can defeat Naofumi, Myne." Motoyasu believes he can defeat Naofumi but Duke shocks him with her cattle prod. The Spear Hero shrieks like a girl and trashes on the ground.
"Dude. The shock is low level." The Courier deadpans seeing this warrior pathetically writhing on the ground. Malty runs away as her knights grab Motoyasu and leave the castle as well. Duke reacts quickly and takes out her pistol and fires at her. However the bullet only hits Malty's arm so she can still run away though you can hear her cursing in pain.
"Damn you all! I'll fucking kill you all! You will pay with your lives!"
One of the fanatics try to stab these heathens but her knife just bounces off the power armor. She disintegrates when one of them shoots her with a laser rifle. The others keep raining down bullets and plasma on these hostiles.
Naofumi feels dazed from the explosion and sees an arrow coming at him but the soldier he saved earlier takes the arrow by getting in front of the General. He kneels beside the down soldier and sees the arrow pierce his chest. "Private!"
Itsuki curses as he wanted Naofumi dead and pulls his bow strings to fire once more. "Just die you damn American!"
However the Bow Hero sees the knights and fanatics defeated and knows he must leave. He jumps up on the broken window where Ren fell off of. He glares at the Japanese-American and threatens him before he jumps out of sight. "Race traitor! You will die by my hands. Your evil will not infect this world so long as I live!"
The Enclave secures the castle and move out due to Colonel Bragg's orders while he holds the Three Heroes Church necklace out to show everyone. "Leave Patriots! Secure the town and look for anyone with this symbol. They seem to be Cultists."
They salute and move out but not before saluting the General as well. General Iwatani is kneeling with the body of the private that saved him. Beside him is the Colonel, Duke and Lady Mayor. Duke kneels beside him. "Sir, we need you. This new world and our old one has a lot of problems and you are the problem solver."
"Yes you are right." He lets go and the medics go to take him to bury. Naofumi picks up the cigar and puffs up smoke. "So what is our situation?"
"Good to see you too sir." Duke jokes and Naofumi gives her a deadpan look. "Right well, you'll be happy to know that I found the Devil's Brigade."
"They are still alive?" He said surprise. The Devil's Brigade was a strong force of the Enclave 40 years ago.
"Those veterans are looking for one more chance to serve. They are ready to fight in Hoover Dam."
"Speaking of Hoover Dam sir." Bragg continues from there. "The Legion and NCR are gathering in the Dam. We are looking at a battle of epic proportions."
"But we need to deal with Mr House first. A threat like him will take advantage of the fighting." Naofumi takes his cigar and takes the ashes off. Duke however smiles and gives him news that is interesting.
"Have I told you about my new friend, Yes Man?"
Lady Mayor gets their attention by coughing in her mouth "As interesting as your world seems to be, I must ask you that the one you are in right now is endangered with the Waves and heroes wanting your head. Can we still count on you to assist us Shield Hero?"
The General nods and agrees to assist this world. "You are right ma'am. The Enclave will take temporary control of this kingdom while you message your queen about the situation."
"But sir, what about the Mojave?" Bragg wonders what they should do about their world. They have been working for so long to regain New Vegas and Nevada from Legion slavers and the NCR rogue nation.
"Duke can deal with Mr House. She can also find the rest of the Brigade and guide our forces in the Wasteland. You and I will remain here with a detachment to deal with the heroes and monsters coming." He tells them which shocks all of them.
"You would trust me with this assignment, General?" Sgt Dornan can't believe it. Sure, she has been by herself, Veronica, ED-E and Arcade for a while when she killed Benny but now this is different. She would be in charge of an entire army.
"But of course. You, Duke Dornan, are the strongest soldier in the Enclave. I believe in you. Though I am curious, how will you return to the Mojave?" Naofumi said to the sergeant which makes her confident in her assignment. Duke takes out a sci-fi gun and shows it to the general.
"This bad boy is the teleporter which can take us to two locations. You just need to fiddle with the dial and you can go to either Big Empty or Novac." She fires it to create a portal but she doesn't enter it. Instead something exits out of it. "If you are staying here General then you need more help than Colonel Grumpy. ED-E! Come and meet the General!"
ED-E the Eyebot beeps and boops which Naofumi can't help but pet the flying bot.
Motoyasu Kitamura runs with Malty while she holds her shot arm. The princess points at the church. "There! We will be protected there."
"Your majesty. Spear Hero, hurry inside." A nun opens the door to let them in. Fanatics are seen getting out weapons to defend this house of god from the heretics. The Pope looks at the two and their party and gives them a sympathy look. "Greetings Spear Hero, to think that the devil would have an army of heretics. Princess Malty, I am sorry for your loss."
"Oh yes, he had his way with me and killed daddy, how could such a monster live?" Malty pretends to cry as she is not that sad that her father is dead. Motoyasu doesn't notice it and comforts her.
"Don't worry Myne, I'll avenge the king and make that cheater pay."
The Pope nods. "Wise words Spear Hero. We have materials that you can use to create powerful weapons."
"Awesome!" The womanizer is excited to create spears. "That should help my smithing levels. Lead the way, Pope."
He bows to the hero and leads him to their vault. This leaves Malty to be treated for her bullet wound by a healer nun. There she gets stows in her rage that she lost not her father but a tool that she used to get away with her actions. She remembers the times her father would always believe her that a servant break vases instead of her and whip them. Watching them scream in pain would delight her. Now the tool is dead. 'How dare you die father and to a commoner? You were alive because you were useful to me. Tch, no matter. I'll kill you Shield Hero and soon I will be queen to this kingdom.'
Ren Amaki is being dragged away by his companions. They get away from an Enclave patrol though he pushes them away. "Get off of me! Ah my face!"
Bragg's power fist broke off some of his teeth and a side of his face is messed up. Ren however doesn't believe his face is actually broken. "God, the damage feels realistically! They should patch it. No one wants to actually feel pain!"
"Sir, we need to leave. They will find us soon."
"And lose the EXP, are you mad? Killing just one of them should surely level me up in double digits. The one that did this must be a miniboss." The Sword Hero points at his mangled face. He refuses to accept he is outmatched. Even if he dies, he will surely just exit from this VRMMO game. Two Enclave soldiers without power armor see the Sword party and aim their weapons at them. "Put your weapons down and hands in the air right now!"
Ren summons Crimson Sword and slashes red energy at them which decapitates one of them and the other falls with his leg cut off. The Sword Hero loots the corpse and finds a teleporter gun. The wounded soldier is grabbed by Ren's party but he is holding a plasma grenade. "God Bless the United States!"
He detonates the grenade and Ren's companions are disintegrated in green slimes however he turns the teleporter on at the last minute before he is hit by the blast. The last thoughts he has before he disappears shows his delusions. 'This must be a DLC. Naofumi will pay for his cheating.'
Itsuki Kawasumi and his party have left the town with Itsuki outraged that his fellow Japanese is calling himself American. "No he is a traitor to the land of the Rising Sun. To call himself American is like calling a human an ape."
The Bow Hero remembers the stories he heard of that colony. Before the Japanese Empire conquer them, America was a land of chaos and savages. His father once told him about them before he was transferred to an American Reeducation Camp. 'Don't see them as people, son. The Americans are savages that need to be beaten and taught to be civilized. Don't show mercy to them. We defeated them and they still believe they can rebel against their betters.'
'They killed you father during a riot. I promise you on your grave that I would make any American pay for so much as glaring at me. They are villains that must be put down.' Itsuki thinks to himself with a rage in his heart. He will kill Naofumi and destroy every American in his way. "Team, we are going underground! We should be able to surprise attack them if we hide in the forest!"
"Wait Bow Hero! Clearly we should find Princess Malty to work together against the Devil." Mald wants to get to the princess that hired him to spy on the hero however Itsuki is shaking enraged but the nobleman doesn't see it and keeps talking. "She is clearly the choice to lead us to vict-"
An arrow suddenly pierces his throat and he dies with blood coming out. Everyone is shock and looks at Itsuki, who was the one that shot him. "No one will question me! I am the hero and no one is allowed to defy me!"
Itsuki has a mad look. In his world, anyone that is not of Japanese descent are practically second class citizens. You do not question a man from the Empire of Japan. He shouts at his frightened party members with a grin. "Now let us go! For Justice!"
If you are reading this, then you are the next Shield Hero. I welcome you to this world but I must warn you about this kingdom. Melromarc has attack Siltvelt to create a slaver empire. I defected to protect the Demi-Humans and was able to fight a war to a standoff. Though they were able to create peace thanks to recently crowned Queen Mirellia, I was poisoned by a sneak attack thanks to a plot made by Prince-Consort Aultcray. I fled to this cave but before I die, I will create a new class to assist you. With this class, you can copy and summon guns like shields. God, my vision is getting worse. Haven't felt like this since my fight with Frank Horrigan. Please help the Demi-Humans, they are oppressed in this kingdom. Mirellia and Lady Waters are the ones that can help you. I hate slavers and people like Aultcray and I pray you do too. Give my regards to Aultcray, preferably with a bullet. If you are from my world, tell the people of my home Arroyo that I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye when I was summoned. I wish you luck, Gun Hero.
~Message by Issac, The Chosen One and Previous Shield Hero.
Naofumi is sitting on the throne, looking at the message left behind by his predecessor. He can't believe that the enemy of his Enclave was the one that gave him the new class. Perhaps time moves differently between the two worlds. The General looks at his hand as a Laser RCW appears on it. "So it recognizes the weapons I ever held. Impressive Issac."
He should hate the man that destroyed the Enclave Oil Rig decades ago but he was the one to warn him from beyond the grave. "The least I can do is give you a proper burial Issac."
"Are you ready sir? We found a Slaver camp." Bragg walks toward the General with ED-E. He smiles and stands out of it. General Iwatani walks away with the two while Enclave soldiers salute and march with them.
