"Wake up wake up Karyoku there is a wave happening" Yosei said with slight urgency in her voice.
Blinking his eyes open Karyoku shot up out of his bed and grabbed his Legendary Gun "what, how many any damage."
Yosei sat atop his head "rather large and no damage yet they haven't reached the village yet now let's hurry Raphtalia has Airashi she's safe."
That made Karyoku sigh in relief as he got his clothes on and burst through the door and looked up at the sky "well at least the whole sky changing colors is the same as it is back home, now" he said as he unholstered his Legendary Gun "time to kill some monsters."
It was quick for Karyoku to burst into the field where several monsters moving towards the village "hmm just as ugly as they were in my world" he said as he fired a fire bullet into one monster's skull dropping it dead.
Laughing Karyoku began to fire rapidly fire bullets, ice bullets, electric bullets among others as he tore down the monster's ranks, but it was to his surprise that he felt a gust of wind next to his face and he turned to see Raphtalia slicing a monster that had got behind him in half.
"Raphtalia it is good to see you here where are the others" Karyoku asked as he blew a hole through a monster's chest. Raphtalia plunged her sword into a monster's throat and spoke Master Naofumi took Filo and Melty to fight on the south side of the viliage he sent me and Airashi to help you out on the northern side."
As she spoke a large fluffy filolial landed on top of two monsters and sunk her claws into their heads "master it has been a while since we have been in a wave" Airashi said with a large smile.
Karyoku ran up and jumped atop of Airashi's back and turned his gun into a machine gun and began to rapidly fire into a crowd of monsters as Airashi rammed into them slashing them apart while Yosei stood on Karyoku's head "alright my turn" with a smile she held her hands together "death from the sun" she said as a burning ray of light went from her hands and burned through a score of dozens of monsters melting them to their bones.
Raphtalia looked at them "it is amazing they are so powerful they take care of these wave monsters like nothing just how powerful are they" Raphtalia thought in slight amazement before quickly decapitating a nearby monster.
Walking over to a wounded monster and turned his gun into a revolver and executed the beast with a shot through the temple "alright that seems like the last of these fuckers" he said petting Airashi "you did great Airashi I think you earned a treat" he said picking a dry piece of meat out of his pouch and threw it up for Airashi to snag out of the air. "Mmh yummy master" Airashi said in a happy tone before transforming into her human form.
Fluttering over all the bodies and then up in the air to scan the entire viliage "alright everyone it looks like the Shield Hero took care of the other side of the attack and we have won" the fairy said before sitting on Karyoku's head with an accomplished smile on her tiny face.
Sheathing her sword and running up to the party "wow that was amazing I have never seen sun magic before and that weapon your gun it was just so unbelievable please mister Karyoku will you accompany the Sheild Hero when more waves come."
Karyoku nodded as he holstered his weapon and patted Yosei's head lightly "yeah I will come with you guys, it is the one thing I really am good at now come on let's see how the damage it."
The group moved into the village and to their pleasant surprise it was undamaged, and they met Filo running towards them in her human form "Raphtalia that was fun wasn't it me and Mel were having fun fighting these monsters" she turned to Airashi "did you have fun too Airashi."
Karyoku smiled as he let Filo and Airashi talk as he met with Naofumi "so Shield Hero that is what a wave is like in your world must say it is rather similar to what it is like in my world though a hell of a lot less organized, but these beasts weren't all that tough."
Nodding Naofumi cleared his throat "yes well this wasn't bad wave and I believe there will be more I have gotten word from the Queen that she needs the heroes back in the capital, you will be a good addition you care to join she might have something on how to get you back home."
Karyoku smiled "yes I would like that very much and maybe your queen can be of help to me and in return I have no problem helping out with these waves, hell if there is a single thing that I am good at as being a hero it is killing monsters and fight wars."
With that Karyoku headed back to his room they were to leave to the capital in the morning and well after such a long in between from the last battle he fought, and he was rather tired so when he dropped onto his bed he fell into a instant slumber.
"So you are back to fighting wars are you last hero, shame I would have been the best possible last opponent" a sinister voice spoke.
Karyoku looked around he was in a pitch-black field though he was illuminated by a glowing tree "I know that voice Banto you're dead I killed you myself what trick is this."
A woman with long black hair and fair skin walked into light revealing a hole where her left eye use to be "yes you did I am just a nightmare though I am rather disappointed in you, your weak you could have become the emperor took that pretty little duchess as a wife and killed any that opposed you, yet you live as a hermit loney only with that bird and fairy to keep you company."
Growling came from the Gun Hero "I would have had Sallice too, but you cut her head off, you took her from me, you betrayed the heroes and killed our friends and led to the deaths of millions just for power and you call me weak for not wanting what you ruined some many lives trying in vain to get."
Scoffing Banto circled her former friend "tsk tsk Kar Kar I can only respect your power, but you have wasted it the man that killed me the man that could have had everything wastes his life being a so-called hero, no all you are is a pathetic man that thinks he did the right thing, oh and for that pretty little demi human friend that I decapitated, I did her a favor at least she doesn't have to see how pathetic her master has become."
This angered Karyoku greatly that he pulled his gun and shot Banto in the head though the bullet only passed through her "nightmare, ghost, specter, whatever you want to call me but I am already dead so you can't kill me anymore than I already am."
Then Banto smiled "well well what else do I have to taunt you with my sweet pathetic hero, oh yes why you are here I know why and well I don't want to spoil the secret so let us leave that be, oh yes these new heroes only one has any real strength so they shouldn't be too hard for you, if you could kill me these pathic little weaklings will stand no chance against you."
Karyoku balked "why would I try to hurt this world's heroes unlike you I am not an evil power-hungry bitch, plus the Shield Hero and his party have been very kind they are my allies."
Laughing that was made of pure evil came from Banto "allies hmm now that is a good one Kar Kar remember what happened to all your other allies, I kind of lopped a few heads off and impaled others but you only got two left, and those two you fear losing so much you keep them isolated with you, I am surprised you even let them fight."
"Shut up Banto just shut the fuck up" Karyoku said in a sad and angry tone "it wasn't for you everyone would still be alive, and we could be living a happy life, but no you decided to turn your backs on people who fought side by side with you for years and lead a war on a world that had just been through a massive into another one."
More laughing came from Banto as she cupped Karyoku's face "oh my sweet sweet Kar Kar you are right a led the Second Great War and if it wasn't for you my killer the world would have been mine, but my time here is just about up, but fear not I will be back Gun Hero I tend to visit you plenty through your journey her."
With that Banto vanished into dust and Karyoku just fell to his knees and cried.
Then waking up in a rush and breathing heavy Karyoku let out a loud "dammit Banto!"
This caused Yosei who was sleeping as well to wake up "woah Karyoku you have a nightmare, what's wrong why are you saying Banto's name."
Shaking his head Karyoku got out of bed and began to get dressed "sorry just a flashback to the war" he lied, how could he say that his greatest enemy was haunting him no a lie was better in his mind.
Gently sitting on his head and giving it a few gentle pats "hey it's ok the wave must have brought back some memories, but hey you got me and Airashi here, we are your friends were here to support you."
This nearly brought a tear to his eye as he gently tapped Yosei's head and exited his room "thank you Yosei I know I can always count on you."
It was early in the morning with a overcast sky overhead and the first thing Karyoku saw was two fluffy birds pulling a large cart full of supplies towards him.
Coming to a halt Airashi smiled "look master they got a cart me and Filo can both pull isn't that great."
Smiling Karyoku gave Airashi a few head pats and even gave Filo a few "ah so fluffy and soft" he said as he gently laid his head on Airashi's fluffy chest.
"Now I get they are soft but right in the middle of the street mister Gun Hero" Raphtalia said jumping out of the cart "anyways we came to pick you up we are leaving in a little bit."
Stopping his petting with a slight sigh Karyoku looked up at Raphtalia "alright I am ready" he said getting into the cart to notice the sleeping Melty "aw she's still sleeping, she must be happy to be able to go see her mother."
"Oh, she is she and that excitement along with playing with Filo and Airashi made her pretty tired" Raphtalia said as she gently stroked the sleeping Melty's hair."
It wasn't before long that Naofumi joined the group and the cart started to make it's way towards the Capital, "So this is where my journey here truly begins I wonder what it will behold for me and that stuff that Banto said she knows why I am here maybe there is something bigger happening here" Karyoku thought to himself as the cart began it's journey.
Alright a little action don't worry there will be more of that in the coming chapters and a little more backstory. But I am hoping you all are liking the story so far I do try. If you want give an idea I am more than welcoming to implement others ideas into this story. As well as the offer to do a lemon Shield Hero roleplay is open. Other than that I don't have anything else other than I hope you come back for more.
