Chapter 1:- The First Impact
Theme song: Summoning 101 - Mili
Ending Song: Victim - Mili
"19:23, AD 2037, Planet Holographic."
The sight of a large number of males and females were seen walking outside in the city streets as they had worn costumes and odd attires as many had animal-like ears and armours as there was a large sign on top of a tall building that stated "Welcome to Hollow Universe" in Japanese as many of the people were having a great time together while some were in cafes and were watching the live streams of other Virtual youtubers online. Within the city that was filled with joy, the sky exploded in a dark light, forcing the clouds to be knocked away from a distance and thus exposing the sight of the full Moon.
Man: What happened?
Girl: The sky just went kaboom~! For a second.
Man: Tell me about it, but what's that? *The man pointed up at the moon as the sight of a humanoid figure was seen floating down to the Earth as the moon was covering the back of the figure, revealing its body shape. The shoulder pylons on the body are designed in a crooked way. The horned helmet, which bears a strong resemblance to a certain machine and has a red visor that is bright enough to be seen from the entire city in front of it. The machine would then lightly step its foot onto the ground in the housing area within Tokyo that wasn't far from the city, a large number of civilians could see the machine towering over buildings and houses as its bright visor could be seen staring right at them*
Girl 2: I-Is it staring at us?
Man 2: Whatever it is, it doesn't look friendly. *The man who had worn the outfit of a WWII military general was seen cocking a rifle as a few other virtual bodies were seen pulling out their weapons and had worn their armour as they were preparing for something*
In a blink of an eye, the visor of the titan would glow brightly for a brief second and within a missing moment, the air pressure in the middle of the city dropped drastically as the air would then cause a massive explosion in the shape of a cross in the middle of the city. The machine would then take one step forward towards the city and as it did, the home buildings around it would then begin to explode from one house to another and an Angel's halo would then appear above the head of the machine as it continued to walk towards the city. Within the passing hours, the sight of the entire mechanical planet known as "Holographic" was then seen with over hundreds to thousands of massive cross-like explosions appearing on each continent on the planet. Two weeks later…. In the middle of the destroyed city, within the rubble, the sight of two girls with animal-like features were seen roaming around the rubble as they were searching for food. One of the girls had the features of a cat as she had bright purplish coloured hair while the other girl had a canine-like feature as she had brown hair and reddish coloured eyes and was sniffing and looking around for food whilst the cat girl was carrying a bag of supplies.
Okayu: Koro-san! Did you find anything?
Korone: No! *She said with a big smile on her face as she was digging through the rubble while her friend was holding onto a bag with canned food and drinks*
Okayu: We managed to live off with such scrap, think you could look a little harder?
Korone: I'm doing my best! Besides, it's been awhile since we've been stuck here. Fubuki-chan is out hunting too.
Okayu: Then maybe we should head back for-now...? *She said as she then saw a shadow moving past her as the shadow was massive as it towered over her. Both the canine and feline females would look up as their eyes widened in shock and fear. The girls' heartbeat were pounding rapidly as they were gasping for air and were sweating dramatically as they had lost their composure at the sight of a massive Evangelion staring down at them as the unit was none other than Unit 01 with its bright orange eyes staring down at the two virtual bodies*
The massive machine would raise its right arm and would then slam it at the two girls with great power and speed as it then created a powerful quake from the attack. The girls had their eyes closed as they would then slowly open their eyes and gasped at the sight of a boy floating above them as he had protected the girls from the powerful blow by creating a large magic barrier in front of them.
Okayu: Y-You..
"What happened while I was gone...?" *The boy asked as the hoodie that covered his head revealed his long light purplish hair as he had worn a long white and purple coat and was holding onto a grimoire-like book on his left hand as it then revealed to be the cursed book of "Sha Na Na Na"*
Korone: Y-Yuuya...
The boy's eyes then glowed bright purple as the Evangelion's body would then slowly crumble as it was turning into dust, after a moment, the creature disappeared as the boy turned his attention to the two girls and looked down at them with his eyes glowing.
Okayu: Took you...Quite some time to make an appearance, huh?
The boy said nothing as he had an upset look on his face as he levitated down towards the girls, upon touching the ground, the boy looked around to see that the entire continent that he had once set foot on and had once met the entire Hololive cast is now in complete ruins, The two girls got worried as it has been over a year since they have last met Yuuya and were wondering why he seemed so upset. The boy would then turn his attention to the girls as his eyes glowed and turned red for a brief moment as he stared at the two girls. Both Korone and Okayu got close together as they were afraid of Yuuya's cold stare. The ground then shook as the build besides of Yuuya would explode as an Evangelion was seen running through the destroyed building and would stop and turn its attention to the three living creatures as the Eva had a similar look to Unit 00 but with a more devilish look to its design and was holding onto a massive scythe. The girls panicked as the boy raised his left hand and turned his hand into a fist as he then snapped his fingers as his eyes then glowed bright pink, within a second, the Eva unit would then get crushed in thin air as its body was completely unable to move and was then destroyed. The boy then turned his attention back to the girls behind him as his eyes reverted back to normal.
Yuuya: Bring me to the others. *The boy said as the girls nodded and would lead him back to their hideout, which was underneath the city and is deep within the sewage system. Within the moment of reaching to the survivor's base, he noticed a large number of civilians and fighters were weakened and sick as they were all lying around the large area*
Okayu: When you said that our future might change, was this the future? Was this our fate?
Yuuya:...Perhaps it is.
Korone: "Perhaps it is"?! Do you think this is a joke?! *The girl shouted at Yuuya in front of the people around them as she was making a scene*
Okayu: Koro-san, calm down!
Korone: Shut up! He's the one that said that our fates and our future will be very different and he won't even tell us! You think this is something like from a movie?! Where if you told us and it won't happen?! *The girl was getting teary as she continued to yell*
Okayu: Koro-san..
Yuuya: I apologise for everything. It is my fault for not telling you all what may come to your world but I would not have known such a catastrophe. The prophecy said nothing about your planet's impending doom and I was only doing what I-
Korone: You coward. You're just giving excuses now!
The boy was then showed a depressing look on his face as the cat girl beside of the two would feel bad for him as she then noticed that the boy's book would then glow and open up in thin air as two creature-like figures appeared from the book as one of them happened to be a girl with a bamboo shoot over her mouth and had worn a beautifully made Kimono while the other was an alien that was rather short but had bright pale white skin with multiple shaped-like coverings on his body that were coloured purple. The girl was none other than Kamado Nezuko and the alien was known as Frieza.
Frieza: Ohoho~ It seems like this foul creature is giving you trouble, Yuuya-sama. *The alien spoke in a snobbish tone as it stared at Korone*
Nezuko: MmmMmm! Mmmmm! *Her eyes sharpened for a second as she glared at Korone and her nails would grow out to be sharper and her veins could be seen popping out from her skin*
Yuuya: Nezuko, Frieza. Stand down. There is no need to shed blood needlessly.
Frieza: Even if you say so, this ignorant child here dares to speak to you rudely. She must be taught a lesson or two.
Nezuko: *She would break the bamboo that was on her mouth and growled at Korone* He's the man who saved the universe from Shan and this is how you repay him? By looking down on him and yelling at him?
Okayu: C-Calm down everyone, we're not here to fight! We just need help!
Nezuko: Tell that to your friend who wants to find problems with us!
"Hey! Hey!" The sound of a girl shouting from afar could be heard as a tall female with long orange coloured hair with the tail of a dragon and horns of a beast was seen as she flew down to the group from above and landed right in front of Yuuya and looked down at him.
Yuuya: Coco-san.
Korone: Coco-san?!
Coco: What's up, Motherfuckers!
Frieza panicked as he felt immense pressure from Coco's appearance as he would then teleport behind the girl and would then attack from the rear but in a split second before his fingers could even reach her wings, his leg was grabbed by Coco's tail as he was then tossed aside by Coco.
Coco: Oh? Does he want to fight? *As she was about to charge towards Frieza, she then felt Yuuya holding onto her wrist as she looked down at him and smiled happily at him while Frieza and Nezuko were then forced back into the book by Yuuya*
Yuuya: I'm sorry, we need to have a thorough discussion. Immediately.
Coco: No problem~ I'll get Mio-chan and the others! *She said as she then expanded her wings from her back and would fly up into the air and went out to search for the other members as Okayu and Korone quietly bring Yuuya into a room that wasn't far from where they were*
Upon reaching the room, the sight of a blonde girl with her large breast exposing her cleavage was seen as she had demon-like horns and wings. The girl had worn a long white coat, marking her as a doctor as the girl was none other than Yuzuki Choco.
Choco: Oh! Yuuya-san~ It's been so long.
Yuuya: Choco-san… *The male was then embraced with a hug from the girl as he couldn't help but feel crushed from being hugged as the heartwarming hug he had felt disappeared as he would lightly push the demon away from him* I-It's good to see you.
Choco: You too~ So how have you been?
Yuuya: The same as usual. It's been years since met and I can't believe that you still remember me.
Choco: You're the only young boy that I would hug after all.
Yuuya: R-Right… So how's the world now? Considering that it's now in shambles.
Choco: It could have been better, everyone is just trying to survive and very few of them are willing to go out to scavenge for food.
Yuuya: Is it because of the Evangelions out there?
Choco: Yup. Those things are relentless. Ever since they appeared about a month ago, they have been killing any survivor they could sense on the surface. Which is why it takes a lot of courage and risks to head out to find supplies..
Yuuya: *He took a deep breath and crossed his arms and snapped his fingers as six large wooden crates of canned food warped in from a portal landed right next to Yuuya* Take this, this will at least keep your people going for a week.
Okayu: F-Food? How?
Yuuya: I need a viable source to be able to bring them in. I can't just warp in anything whenever I want. It takes time and energy.
Okayu: Thank you, Yuuya-kun. *The girl said with a smile as Yuuya would then turn his attention away from Okayu and turn back to Choco*
Yuuya: So who's the one in charge here? Sora?
Choco: Unfortunately no, Sora-chan has been gone with Marine for about a week and we haven't heard from them ever since.
Yuuya: I see, well where are the others?
Coco: All here~ *She walked into the room with a wolf-like girl along with a girl with blue hair that had worn a stylish attire along with a girl that had worn a cute attire and had brown hair as the three girls were Ookami Mio, Natsuiro Matsuri and Hoshimachi Suisei*
Matsuri: Y-Yuuya-san!
Mio: Y-Yuuya!
Suisei: Oh cute!
Yuuya: These are the only members here? What about Miko, Pekora or even Luna?
Coco: Those 3 along with many others have gone missing ever since, we got eyes outside that are on a lookout for any survivors, we're just hoping for the best.
Yuuya: Good...But do you all understand how your planet works?
Choco: What do you mean?
Yuuya: Like, how were you born and why are you even here.
Korone: We were born by our parents, duh.
Coco: N-No..That's not it, Koro-chan. There's another reason to that.
Korone: What do you mean?
Matsuri: We know that our parents gave birth to us and raised us but...Who are they?
Korone: Eh?
Choco: Nobody here has any recollection of their former guardians when they were young?
Yuuya: That isn't the main question. The main question is: How and why are you all in a world where you do not even recall your past?
Okayu: Y-Yuuya-kun, what are you getting at?
Yuuya: Have you noticed anyone dying before the First Impact? *Everyone in the room would then shake their heads as they realised that they had never seen anyone died before the First Impact* That is because this planet that you live in isn't real but is also real.
Suisei: Hmm? W-What does that mean?
Yuuya: In a sense, you all have a sense of emotion and touch like any other living organism but there is no form of "evolution" within the life forms on this planet. The two support light sources around this planet provide the "life" that you all need. The Moon grants you slumber and emotions while the Sun grants touch and pain but zero deaths. Reason is because nobody in your world has any intention to kill and yet your population would never grow.
Coco: I guess that makes sense? Because we never seek out to find any guys to date and even though there are couples around, it's not like anything happens with them.
Choco: Yeah, I also rarely hear any sort of issue with their physical relationship.
Yuuya: H-Hold on, we're getting off track for a second there. What I'm trying to say is that all of your bodies on this planet aren't real.
Korone: Not real? What? Are we dead?
Yuuya: This world is filled with complete data of a virtual reality. It seems real but it isn't. In fact, this planet is one of the very few planets that can create electrico-magnetic life forms and powers from both the base of the Sun and Moon alone, but anyway, your real bodies are still unknown. It may be on another planet and this could all be just a dream once you have perished on this world.
Korone: You better not be making this up.
Mio: Koro-chan? What do you mean by that?
Korone: He knew that those Evangelions would appear here and destroy the planet and he didn't even tell us, so now he might be bullshitting about our own physical bodies so that we could all die.
Mio: Eh?!
Suisei: I-Is this true?
The boy said nothing as he crossed his arms and his book would levitate in the air beside him as he would then take a deep breath and closed his eyes for a brief second and opened it as he leaned on the wall.
Yuuya: I am not allowed to break the laws of transcendence and fate, there are a lot of things that I cannot say.
Korone: You see? Choco-san, do you really think we can trust him?
Coco: Well I trust him! He came all the way here to help us even though he knows that the thing he did was bad.
Matsuri: I guess that means that he accepted his wrongdoing and decided to face us for it.
Coco: Yeah! You guys should cut him some slack.
Okayu: E-Even if you say so, that's a lot of information to take in..
The door would then open up as a long katana-like blade was pointed right at Yuuya's head, the boy leaned still as he looked over to see who was holding the sword and saw the sight of a beautiful long white haired girl with blue eyes and fox-shaped ears on her head along with a fluffy tail on her rear.
Okayu: F-Fubu-chan!
Coco: Oh my!
Yuuya: So you're no longer a "scatman", huh?
Fubuki: Don't call me that. *As she said, the girl blinked for a second and noticed that Yuuya was gone, the girl panicked and looked around as she then noticed that Yuuya was sitting on the desk behind of Choco* Why are you here?
Yuuya: To help. *As the boy said, everyone blinked their eyes in a second and noticed that Yuuya was standing in front of Mio as the wolf-girl had her arms around him* But of course, if you don't accept me, then there's nothing I can do but watch.
Mio: Eh? *The girl blushed as she had realised that she was suddenly hugging the boy from behind*
Yuuya: But I'll tell you all one thing. You're not the only one who is suffering.
Matsuri: What do you mean by that?
Yuuya would then snap his fingers and change the realization of the room and show everyone his memories of what he has seen from the different worlds he has come across. The sight of hundreds of planets in ruins from invaders were shown to everyone.
Yuuya: For the past six years, I've been moving from one dimension to another, only to find that over dozens of planets in each world, destroyed and dying. Your world got it easy, you have survivors, the others? Completely destroyed. Extinct from all life without being able to fight back.
Okayu: What was the cause?
Yuuya: Machine Beasts, Armoured Dragons, Armed Machines and any sort of white mechanical swarm that appears from the void itself. Planet Earth from Universe 082 just got invaded by a swarm of Androids.
Choco: Did they survive?
Yuuya: They did, thanks to the Protoss and the Zerg and Xenomorphs that were there.
The dark room was shrouded in nothing but the deaths that Yuuya had seen and fought through for the past years and revealed the number of planets he was unable to save from the Swarms' attacks. Yuuya would then get rid of the illusion as everyone in the room got quiet until Yuuya opened up his left hand and revealed the map of the planet of Holographic.
Yuuya: A total of 98% of your planet's life support has been completely decimated but your oceans are still as clean as anything else.
Suisei: That's good then, it means that we can still get fresh water.
Matsuri: It'd definitely be easier if those damn robots aren't out there.
Yuuya: *The boy pointed on a red moving dot that is on the pacific ocean* There's a group out there. On a boat. Who is it?
Okayu: M-Marine-chan.
Coco: Marine!
Yuuya: She's not alone too.
Matsuri: Is she coming here?
Yuuya: Judging from the ship's movements, it seems like it's heading straight for the city but by the time she reaches here, it'll be close to a week.
Choco: A week?! She doesn't have enough supplies to last that long! She's been gone for two days already!
Yuuya: I'll head out to retrieve her.
Matsuri: W-What about us? We could use your help to protect us..
Yuuya: Fubuki-san along with Coco-san are strong enough to fight one of the Evas out there.
Korone: And if more than one appears?
The boy sighed softly as his book would open up in thin air as four bright lights fired out from the book and landed right in front of the girls in four shaped figures. One somewhat short male with long spike hair with his arms cross stood still with his eyes closed as that man was none other than Vegeta, another figure had the same body type as Vegeta but was even taller and it revealed to be Son Goku while another figure revealed to he a young male with beautifully coloured red eyes and dark black hair as he had worn a white and grey uniform and is known to be Anos Voldigoad and the last figure had the shape of a purple anthropomorphic cat with golden yellow eyes and large pointed ears. His form is hairless and while overall defined in built, he is very thin and bony. He is of a similar height to Goku, being slightly shorter, but his ears make him appear taller. He dons black, blue, and gold Egyptian-looking attire with white and orange diamond decorations as it was none other than Beerus from the Dragon Ball Universe with Goku and Vegeta.
Yuuya: These four are more than capable enough of defending your base. They are much tougher than Frieza and Nezuko.
Coco: The cat is cute!
Beerus: You dare call the God of Destruction: "Cute"?
Coco: Cute kitty~
Yuuya: Do not hurt anyone here or so be it that you will face my wrath, Beerus.
Beerus: Hmph! I am not that incompetent!
Yuuya: That includes you too, Vegeta.
Vegeta: Tsk!
Yuuya: Anymore requests?
Mio: I-I'd like to come with you.
Okayu: Me too.
Korone: Okayu! Why would you follow him?!
Okayu: He could use the help out there and I know my way around.
Mio: I can locate the Evangelions if they're nearby too.
Korone: Y-You saw how he destroyed four of those things on his own, he'll be fine!
Okayu: Koro-san.. We should at least contribute our time and help to those who are willing to help us in our time in need. We do not have the time to argue. Let's go. *The girl said as she would then head out of the room with Mio*
Yuuya: Beerus, Vegeta. Watch them from the inside, Goku and Anos will guard the entrance. *As Yuuya said, both Goku and Anos would follow him out with the two other girls while Vegeta and Beerus stayed with the doctor and watched them leave*
As Yuuya, Mio and Okayu headed out together, both Goku and Anos stood outside and guarded the entrance to the hideout while the other three left. As the two girls were walking with the young boy as Okayu was leading the way, there was an awkward silence between the three of them until Yuuya would break the silence.
Yuuya: Thank you, the both of you. For coming out with me.
Okayu: Oh don't worry about it~ It'd be too tense if we stayed back there anyway.
Mio: Yeah, what's up with Koro-san anyway? Why is she so upset?
Okayu: Well, Yuuya-kun has his own problems and Koro-san just wanted his help as soon as the Evangelions came in and she's upset with him because he's late.
Mio: Boy thing, are you alright? *She asked as she would walk up to the boy and walk beside him and patted his head lightly*
Yuuya: I...I'm fine, thank you. *He turned and looked up at the wolf girl with a smile on his face as the girl would blush slightly*
Within the passing moments as the group reached the shoreline, they were nearby the beach and saw the sight of six Evangelions waiting in the ocean as they were looking out for Marine and her group to return.
Okayu: W-Why are they here?
Mio: W-What about Marine-chan?
Yuuya: Don't worry. *As the boy said, the two girls turned and looked at him as they noticed that he was levitating in mid air. The boy would open his book as a bright purple aura could be seen surrounding him as multiple large magic circles would appear around the girls and within the air as monsters and machines would rise from the magic circles. Many of them revealed to be Mobile Suits while others appeared to be kaiju-like monsters as one of them stood tall as a skyscraper and had a tail longer than its own body as that monster was none other than Shin Godzilla and the song "Summoning 101" could be heard from the book as it was emitting the song, causing the Evangelions to turn their attention to Yuuya and his army* We'll be going for a ride.
Mio: What power..
Okayu: *She smiled as she looked up at the boy* So he's our saviour, huh? Not bad, not bad at all.
"[Verse 1]
I peeked through the gate
Found your hiding place
Feather pens scribble down your commands
"Scientific Evocation"
[Verse 2]
Decomposing wolf fangs
Powdery moonlight
Half a human
Bite off your nail, paint a magic circle
Chanting the magic spell
Summon me now
[Chorus]
Take my paws, take my paws
Show me wonders of your world
The autumn leaves, the summer breeze
Your shiny hair like mahogany
Teach me, oh teach me
The language that you sing
Lyrr viva tou conquieta
Aeterrno amora
[Verse 3]
Crumbling gate
Take me back to empty space
Reached out to your gentle hands
Doors closed
Clipped my arm right off
[Verse 4]
Still you would never give up
Scanning nether for my whereabouts
Howl
Summon me now
[Verse 5]
Years gone by
No moments wasted
Day and night
No memories faded
Six hundred and seventeen pages
Now've became the basis for all creations
[Chorus]
Hold on tight, hold on tight
Let me shield you from the storm
The melting flesh, the burning tears
Make you stronger than ever before
Vive torr amora vrk
The last words that you spoke
Oozing out from your tiny skull
Thousand years' wisdom
[Chorus]
Take my paw, take my paw
You're the wonder of my world
The wrinkled face, the silver hair
Your crystal eyes stay a beautiful pair
Teach me, oh teach me
The magic that you preached
I tried to speak, all that came out was
Howl
Lyrr viva tou conquieta
Aeterrno amora"
