*BANG* *BANG*

Two bullets hit Malty's legs and she collapses. "AHH! YOU FILTHY DEVIL! KILL HIM RIGHT NOW SPEAR HERO!"

"I-I…" Motoyasu looks and sees the Enclave soldiers shoot down the zombies and wasps. He can also see the giant Chimera Boss attacking the village, killing some villagers. Duke is sighted slices the monster while Veronica is helping her girlfriend by taking the villagers away from the town. Seeing all of this destruction and death makes the Spear Hero drop to his knees with tears in his eyes. "I can't. I'm too scared! This is all real and I can't fight for real! I'm just an otaku that wants to go home!"

"You damn coward! How are you a hero?!" Malty insults the scared otaku. Naofumi gives his reply by punching her in the face.

"It takes courage to admit you are not made for combat. But for a bitch like you, you clearly believe that she can use people to hurt or kill others like a coward." The General analyzes this woman and she bites back.

"Of course! Why should I, a princess, get my hands dirty when there is someone else to do it for me! I AM THE QUEEN!" Naofumi knocks her out with another punch. Let her mother decide her fate. Colonel Bragg comes goes to his superior to report the situation.

"The zombies and wasps have been neutralized, General." They both look at the battle with the Chimera and see Veronica punch the lion's head off. Duke then jumps and slices the dragon's head in half. This allows the now headless chimera to collapse. "It seems Sgt Dornan has dealt with the chimera. Since when did she have a sword?"

"She came here as well even though she was in the Mojave. I wonder…" General Iwatani watches Duke and Veronica give eachother a kiss until he sees the snake tail exit the chimera. It slithers away with Naofumi summoning a missile launcher though he gives the couple a warning first.

"Get out of the way Sergeant!" He fires a missile and Duke tackles Veronica out of the way and it strikes the snake, creating an explosion. Naofumi walks to Motoyasu, who thinks he is about to kill him.

"No please! I don't want to do this anymore!" The Spear Hero begs for mercy but Naofumi kneels beside him.

"We will find a way to get you home however you must be put in custody."

Motoyasu cries, happy that he is getting help. "Thank you. Thank you so-"

An arrow strikes Motoyasu in the chest and he falls. Naofumi as well as the Enclave turns to see where the shot coming from. Soldiers and adventurers run out of the forest. Enclave soldiers, cultists and villagers are being attacked by these mysterious invaders. Naofumi checks on Motoyasu and luckily the arrow didn't hit a vital area. "Medic!"

A medic runs and inserts a stimpak in his body. General Iwatani summons a laser LCW and fires into the forest where the archer is still firing arrows at everyone. Naofumi lifts his shield to block an arrow and keeps firing. Soldiers stand with their superior and fire at the adventurers. One of them, a martial artist, maneuvers around the bullets and lasers and hits a soldier in power armor with a palm strike. The strike creates a dent through her armor and dies. The martial artist kicks Naofumi and he falls. He is about to finish off Naofumi when Colonel Bragg turns him to ash thanks to his Gatling Laser. "The ground is no place to rest sir."

"Excellent as always Colonel." He is help up and pistol whips a ninja as Bragg fires at a knight.

Duke and Veronica sees the battle and runs towards the forest. The former Brotherhood scribe punches any that get close to them as they keep running into the forest. Duke dashes towards a shadowy figure and slices at them but they jump above them. The figure steps out of the forest to reveal Itsuki Kawasumi. The Bow Hero has been kidnapping adventurers and using Slave Crests to turn into his slave army. With them, he will destroy the Enclave and the Shield Hero. He turns to see Naofumi working with Bragg against the army. Itsuki aims his bow and arrows at General Iwatani, about to kill him.

"Die race traitor!" He fires an arrow but Duke is able to cut it in half. The Bow Hero is then punch in the face by Veronica and her powerfist. He gets up and fires his arrow which hits Veronica in the shoulder. Duke shouts, seeing her girlfriend collapse and her sword changes form and her skin has red marks on her face.

*Sword of Wrath unlocked*

Duke disappears from everyone's view only to appear next to Itsuki. He tries to kill the sergeant but Duke slices his arm off, making him drop his bow. "AAHH! FILTHY AMERICAN BITCH!"

"Don't move criminal!" Duke is about to grab the Bow Hero, when he touches his Slave Crest controller. Suddenly, his slaves explode out of nowhere and it knocks everyone back. The explosions hits Naofumi and Bragg but luckily the General is able to block most of the blast. This give Itsuki the chance to escape and so he runs away but not before grabbing his bow.

"I'll get you back for this!" Itsuki shouts while fleeing from Duke. She jumps and tries to cleave this bastard that hurt her girlfriend but he disappears. "What the hell?! Did he just teleport? Get back here!"

Duke is rampaging, cutting everything in her way. Trees, buildings and corpses are being cut when something touches her. She pulls her sword to attack this person but she stops once Veronica kisses her. This calms her down and the red marks disappear. She collapse exhausted from that power boast while Veronica hugs her.

"Mr. General!" Raphtalia and Keel are sitting next to General Iwatani, who is unconscious as the blast caused him to slam his head on a rock. The medics are running to the downed officers to heal them. Unknown to others, Malty is crawling away to get away from these commoners.

"Got to get away from these freaks." Malty growls as she crawls. She grabs someone foot and looks above to see her disappointed mother.

"M-mother! It is so lovely to see you! I am here as the Spear Hero's loyal confidant!" Malty lies, trying to make herself look good.

"Oh are you? I don't think so 'Queen' Malty. Your Crusade is done and Melomarc will not be under your control."

"No mother. That scumbag is a rapist! He had his way with me! He must be controlling you!" She tries to discredit Naofumi however Queen Mirellia has enough of her daughter and hits her with her fan, knocking her out. She walks towards Naofumi to make sure he is well. Colonel Bragg and Sergeant Dornan kneels beside their unconscious superior officer and notice this queen kneel to Naofumi.

"What the hell are you doing here Queeny?" Duke ask Mirellia and she just chuckle at her disrespect as she makes sure Naofumi is alright.

"I wish to make sure my husband-to-be is okay." Queen Mirellia Q Melomarc announces her love in her own way. This shocks everyone and Bragg voices everyone's thoughts:

"What the fuck?!"

The shouting wakes up Motoyasu, who stands up waving his spear around. "Ah! Oh man, I had the craziest dream mom. I teleported to another world and-" He stops once he sees everyone.

"Oh come on!"


Itsuki Kawasumi drops down and finds himself in a Wasteland. He looks around and finds five Japanese men in military gear walking towards him. "Who are you?"

The leader of these five soldiers fire electricity and it knocks him out. "Oni, take him away."

"Yes sensei." The biggest of them grab him and the team walks away. All the information in the Bow Hero's head will be theirs. Even if they have to rip it off.
