I got my inspiration and yes I know it's a insekai but consider this normally an Insekai involving a video game has you becoming your character but most games offer you the chance to make multiple characters. So what I am saying is how many Insekai's lets you become ALL of your characters? Well then let's begin shall we.

Disclaimer: Neither myself nor Mr. Unknown own Queens Blade or Tera Online we just enjoy the show and game. Now then let's begin this story.
(Start)
Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, MMORPG. Anyone with a computer can join in to enter a world and become more then what you were in the real world. Starting with the MMO known as Realm MMO's had become a common part of life for many. Novels such as Ready Player One derived its lore from those games. Anime's and Shows drew inspiration for their entertainment. But as time went on gamers all over wanted to truly immerse themselves into MMORPG's entering TRUE VRMMORPG's. Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games was a thing of stories and legends. That was until someone cracked the code to it so to speak and thus the gates to heaven were open in a sense.
From Japan they gave to us Tera Online, Black Desert Online, and finally Final Fantasy XIV Online as there tribute to this change in the statues queue. From America Star Wars the Old Republic, Destiny, and DDO was their tribute to this change. In London they gave to the world Warframe and Dragon's Prophet as their crowns. Japan, The USA, and Britain as well as the companies that spawned these games based there became the three capitals in the gaming industry. The year is 200X and life seems to have changed for many. But as the world changes they still look down upon us who wish to escape to a world where we can become heroes without being judged.
(Scene Break)
A player was putting on his headset as he turned on his game system ready to log into the online world of Tera Online. As he sat down on his chair he made sure he was comfortable as well knowing the system was still a work in progress. Once the login aspects were ready he got ready for the next part by grabbing his came controller, his keyboard, and lowered his mic. The system was still quiet new and was a work in progress sending someone's mine directly into the game was dangerous already hence why they made it more like this. Thus he logged in and entered the character select screen.
(Tera Online)
The Player found himself as a blank ghost of sorts with the body covered in data and pixels of blue with runes surrounding the head. The Player then looked around and in turn saw a group of familiar figures making their way torts the player in question. The first was the Baraka Priest a support class but dressed in his robes he showed off a form of wisdom and knowledge. Next to him was, a woman with horns and pointed ears wielding a spear. This woman was in fact his Valkyrie Castanic the second character he had ever created online as her silver hair was wild with horns mixing well with it. The player smiled before their attention was pointed torts that of the High Elf Gunner. She walked torts them with her hips swaying much like that of the Valkyrie Castanic with an outfit of equal provocative form. The Support character was good with cover fire that can deal some damage when needed. He could easily go in and offer services in Dungeons for a support class but that was not their intention this night.
Then his attention was directed torts the smallest of the group is Ellin brawler as she tailed up the rear with one other. She was small with cute cat ears and tail. But she was also the player's best hand to hand fighter amongst the toons. She proved time and time again to be perfect for crowd control dealing with multiple enemies at once. But if the player was ever feeling up to tanking his foes then the Male Aman was the ticket for the tank. The Berserker Class character was draconic like in facial appearance but it was clear he was a beast with his mighty axe. But no the player was feeling nostalgic today as they opted for the first character ever created online. A white haired human with a massive Sword showing him to be of the Slayer Class.
His Slayer was the first character he had ever created online and thus held a special place in his heart. The characters surrounded their creator awaiting the selection to return to battle against the monsters of Tera Online. But something strange was going on as the realm began to glitch out. The glitch began to distort the world causing the player to panic from it before the glitch opened a tear of sorts. The player looked worried wondering if some event had just started only for a white light to shoot out from the portal. The player shielded his eyes as they had only barely caught a glimpse of a female figure with feathered wings and a mischievous smile.
(Scene Break)
The first thing Hezraeus noticed when he began to come to was that he was on the ground of the Sky Castle. HE recognized it because well he did help design the place. As he got up he held his head in pain from a splitting headache he was suffering from. "Shit." Hezraeus cursed as he got up.
"Did anyone get the number of that bus?" Came a female voice from nearby as Hezraeus looked and was shocked when he saw a familiar face.
"Wait it can't be." He began as the Female Castanic directed her attention to Hezraeus was just as surprised as he was.
"No way." She gasped as she saw Hezraeus here.
"Hezraeus/Freylah?!" They both gasped seeing the same Avatar moving and acting without the player's control.
"How are you moving on your own?" Hezraeus asked as he saw her.
"How am I moving how are you moving?!" Freylah demanded as she looked to Hezraeus in shock.
But before they could react they heard movement from nearby and looked to the top of the steps and saw another familiar face. "Well this... is unexpected." The High Elf with the massive cannon said as she walked down the steps.
"Lezanda?!" Both the human Slayer and Castanic Valkyrie gasped as they saw the High Elf Gunner descend from the steps.
"So says the name I gave this character when I made her." Lezanda said as her voice was truly one belonging to a High Elf even when she sounded confused.
"Hello someone here?" Came the voice of a smaller origins and thus the group looked and saw a familiar Elin walking forth with pink hair added with cat ears and a tail.
"PamiPami." Freylah said as she saw the Brawler walk out.
Just then a set of doors opened and from above they saw the Baraka Priest walking down the steps. "This is most peculiar to see others in control of my avatars." He said as Lezanda saw another of her... their characters given life.
"Lorondos." Lezanda said as she saw the toon approach.
It was then followed up by a mighty roar and from one of the pathways to the outside they saw a large figure with an axe roaring and in turn ramming into the wall causing damage to it. "Who's trashing my Castle!?" He roared as the male Aman glared about.
"Inferneius." PamiPami said as she saw another of the avatars given life.
In turn the characters gathered around looking at each other in confusion. "It seems something is amiss here." Lorondos said as he looked to the others.
"No duh what gave it away!?" Inferneius roared getting the pieces of pebbles off his head.
"I don't really act like that do I?" Hezreaus asked as he saw what Inferneius was doing.
"You?!" Freylah asked accusingly to Hezreaus who she was sure was a hacker of some sort. "I have half the mind to report you to the GM's for this hacking." Freylah yelled as she glared at Hezreaus.
"Him hacking?!" PamiPami called out as she glared at the Castanic female and human male. "I should report both of you for hacking my account whoever you are!" PamiPami called out as Inferneius roared and punched his fists together on his chest.
"Don't talk bullshit you're the hackers here!" Inferneius said as Lezanda and Lorondos were oddly quiet right now.
As the four were arguing over who the hacker was Lezanda was trying to access the GM with Lorondos. So far the could not access any of it. The only thing they could access was their inventory, skills, crafting, and stats. And from what Lezanda could see Lorondos was having similar problems. The two looked to each other and knew something was wrong as their facial expressions weren't emoted, furthermore their hands didn't show signs of pixels or the like but of real skin veins and all.
"You wanna go hacker!?" PamiPami yelled at the Aman while Inferieus glared back at the Elin.
"Try it you'll be dead hacker!" Inferieus called out but just then the group had to dodge a mystic shot curtesy of Lezanda.
"Would you all calm down and listen call your user interfaces now!" Lezanda called out and thus the group with curiosity pulled up the interface and saw what she had seen. Even the System Administration help line was no longer there.
"W-what?" Freylah asked as she saw this.
"Ok I am so confused." Hezreaus said as he was with Freylah on this one.
"Our hands we can actually feel them, we can see our veins on them, and even the creases of our fingers can be seen." Lezanda said as she looked to them all.
"Everyone try to recall what lead us here." Lorondos said as he looked to his new cohorts.
"Well I remember logging on and I was about to select this guy when a bright flash occurred." Hezreaus said as Lorondos nodded.
"What but I was going to select PamiPami the guys needed a crowd control person and I volunteered." PamiPami said but that wasn't right either.
"Wait that was months ago." Freylah said as she looked to the Elin girl. "Right after that raid we were going to..." Freylah said trying to recall the events after or before it. "I think grab something." Freylah said as she noticed something was wrong.
"I know I created this guy and all of you also... but I can't remember when or how." Hezreaus confessed as he scratched his head. "I can only remember the time I spent on this guy." Hezreaus said gesturing to himself.
"It seems all of our memories unrelated to the characters we utilize is fragmented." Lezanda said as he joined with the group.
"It seems there is more to it than that." Lorondos said as he looked to the group. "Tell me other than the fact that we had a role in these characters creation and upbringing do you remember anything beyond being a gamer who was logging in? Perhaps school or family?" Lorondos asked to which everyone got thinking.
"I... I don't." PamiPami stuttered as she started biting her thumb clearly worried.
"Come on Remember!" Inferneius roared and charged into the wall before bashing his head into it. Once he pulled his head out, he was a bit dazed but otherwise ok. "I still don't remember." Inferneius said as Freylah laughed at him.
"Yeah hitting your head into the wall didn't help in anyway with that you fricking dumbass." Freylah said as she looked to Inferneius.
"I remember we have parents... and a sibling or was it a dog." Hezreaus said but Lezanda spoke instead.
"It was both, but I can't remember any of their names." Lezanda said as she looked to the group. "So either we've all lost our minds, or we're in an Isekai." Lezanda said before looking round. "Though never did I see an Insekai with a character who made multiple toons that were dragged into... where ever here is." Lezanda said as it was clear the group here was lost, confused, and worried.
"First things first let's look around, ask the NPC's what's going on, scout around the perimeter, and see what items we have in the banks." Hezreaus said taking charge here.
"That would be wise." Lorondos said ageing with Hezreaus.
"Let's meet at the Guild Table and discus what we found then." Lezanda said and thus they were all in agreement on this.
In turn the group began to explore both the Sky Castle and the perimeter of its walls. Keeping an eye of anything amiss.
(Lorondos and Lezanda)
The duo was seen inspecting the Guild Bank for anything amiss such as missing fund or items. Luckily this was not the case as they saw all there items were accounted for. Weapons were cataloged and Tera Store Items were also there vouchers and all. Armors, costumes, and even mounts were seen there. The duo were clearly the brains and thus were there to look over everything.
Lorondos was looking over book finding that he had to physically grab them instead of selecting them but when he grabbed them he proceeded to read through them making sure nothing was wrong with it. As he did so he looked to the window and wondered what the others were doing right now.
(Meanwhile with PumiPumi and Inferneius)
The duo was seen checking out their mounts and saw that they were now very much alive and real creatures. The duo looked to each other and then back to their mounts and began to carefully get on them. They noticed that they moved and acted like real mounts and what made it more noteworthy was the fact that they were in fact easy to control no doubt the knowledge on how to do so was engraved into their minds. This was noteworthy because if it translated to mounts then who's to say it didn't translate over to their gear and attacks as well.
Just then PamiPami yelped when she heard a slap followed by one of the horse based mounts going off and finally Inferneius yelling as he came flying by and hitting the wall. PamiPami looked to him and saw the guy growling and looking ready to go off again. "Wow he can take a hit." PamiPami said as she saw Inferneius charge only for PamiPami to grab him by the horns and hold him back.
"Calm down! Calm down!" PamiPami yelled as she tried to hold back the Aman till he calmed down. She then had an idea and in turn went for his neck before pinching in and thus causing him to go limp and fall asleep. "Ok that handles one problem now to drag this dumb lug out of here." PamiPami said as she glared down upon Inferneius. "What was I thinking making him like this... no wait HOW did I make him like this?" She pondered while using her superior strength to drag him off.
(Meanwhile over with Hezreaus and Freylah)
The duo were exploring the perimeter of the Sky Castle when they had saw a familiar site not even pass the first lap of the outer walkways. There they saw a massive Tree standing tall and proud allowing them to recognize the tree that brimmed with power.
"No way." Hezreaus said as he saw the tree in question. "The Island of Dawn." Hezreaus said as he saw the island in question. The Tutorial Zone was where many new and returning players go to start their journeys in Tera Online. But now it seemed more lifelike as above the tree they could see the runes seen in the sky.
"Hey look." Freylah called out while she pointed down below revealing the town and camps with the people roaming about on said island. But now it seems to be bustling with more activity then before. Almost like a town more then so then that of a research base.
"Should we investigate?" Hezreaus asked as he looked to Freylah.
"Don't ask me you already know." Freylah said as she would have punched him for a stupid question like that... in fact she needs to do that next time.
In turn the duo headed to the Pegasus Travel Lift to get to the town below.
(Later)
The duo were in turn seen asking around trying to figure out what was up with this place. From what they could gather this island had appeared recently with the Sky Castle between the continents of Gainos and Hinomoto from the perspectives of the foreigners. To the locals it's always been here but was hidden via magic until recently. From there they learned of the goings on both the continents of Gainos and Hinomoto.
(Later Guild Meeting Table)
The group of 6 were seen gathered around the table to discuss their recent discoveries. "Ok so pretty much all of our gear from the guild that we had acquired via events, Tera Store, and other methods are all accounted for including the mounts." Hezreaus said as they were all seated at the elegant table. "The control system for all of this has changed in some way and we no longer have access to the Tera Store." Hezreaus said as they all nodded in agreement.
"That much is true." Lezanda said as she looked to the others.
"Furthermore we basically arrived outside the Island of Dawn which now has a bustling community in it and from the foreigners it seems to their perspective this island just appeared out of nowhere between the Continents of Gainos and Hinomoto." Freylah said as she sat with them.
"Also we have all of the Mounts accessible to us we just need to worry about feeding them regularly which we can have the NPC's do." PumiPumi said as she looked to the others.
"Ok we got all that sorted out but we can tell we're not in the world of Tera Online because the Continents there were named after those two dreaming gods from the lore." Inferneius said as this was bringing a lot of problems for them.
"Yeah no duh that's why I said it." Freylah said as PumiPumi then raised her hand.
"One problem... if we really are all the same player with fragmented memories how come we act differently?" PumiPumi asked as she brought up a good question.
"Lezanda and I had a similar question but we came up with the only working theory we have." Lorondos said as the Baraka Priest looked to them all. "In short it's the same reason our memories are fragmented our soul was also fragmented and when that happened we inhabited the bodies of the characters we had created when we were whole." Lorondos said as he looked to the group here. "In turn the characters we created via their experiences when we used them compensated for the missing parts and thus developed personalities of sorts for us modeled after those experiences as well as factoring in common knowledge of the races we play as and our individual classes." Lorondos explained as Inferneius was lost right now.
"Um..." The Aman trailed off showing he was lost.
"In other words dipshit we basically became the characters we created when we split." Freylah said as Inferneius got it.
"Why didn't you say so?" He asked as the guy was going to be difficult dealing with.
"But thanks to this theory if it's true then we have a problem." Lezanda said as she looked to the group getting their attention on her.
"Huh?" Hezreaus asked as he looked to Lezanda.
"Yes as you can see already we have parts of the same memories but even between all of us it's not much to make a whole and even then our soul split apart as it is means that returning home would be impossible until we learn of a method to rectify this problem." Lorondos explained and thus they got the gist of it.
"In other words we're stuck here for the long run until we can figure out how to put ourselves back together great just great." Freylah said leaning back on her seat scowling with her arms crossed.
"Ok so we're stuck that means we need to find a way to bring income because all that gold we have will eventually run out assuming it can pass for the local equivalent of currency." Hezreaus said as he looked to everyone here.
"What do you suggest then?" Lezanda asked as Hezreaus scratched his head trying to make sense of this.
"We try to build a name for ourselves if anyone can recognize us, then we may just be able to find others also in our situation, and regardless if we are the only ones here or not we may not have a feasible method of returning so we will need to take things one day at a time and work from there." Hezreaus said as he looked to the group.
"So we're going the Overlord Anime method great just don't make us into villains please." PumiPumi said as she looked to the group here.
"That would be wise for now." Lorondos said as he looked to his fellows with a nod.
"Alright then, lets gear up, and head down to the village, and test out to see if we can still pull off attack and stuff," Hezraeus said as he wants to try out what it's like to fight without any gaming controls and just his bare hands, and his giant badass fucking sword, one of the reason he pick a slayer as his first character, as he can use a big ass sword like cloud from FF7 or that berserk guy Guts.
"But before we do any of that, we must decide on something," Lezanda said as it seem there was something on her mind as everyone look at her as she went on saying, "If we're going to work together in this new world as we are… then one of us must take leadership and work on a chain of command."
"So you're saying that one of us need to be a leader?" Freylah question as she lean back and said, "Fuck that, I say we do as we please."
"It would be wise to do so, otherwise one of you could start a fight over a simple reason of who will lead which could lead to disaster, sooner or later it could happen if we don't decide," Lorondos said with his words of wisdom as PamiPami asked, "How do we decide?"
"That easy, we vote, and I'm voting for myself," Inferneius said as he decided to vote for himself as PamiPami said, "That not fair!"
"Fair shmair, we're all the same, and I say I am voting for myself, now who's with me?" Inferneius as Freylah spoken up saying, "If we're voting on this then, than I vote for myself as well, as there no way I'm voting for a dumbass who hits his head against the wall to remember something."
"Why do I get the feeling this might get too much out of hand?" Lorondos said as suddenly Inferneius stood up and face the Castanic Valkyrie while he said, "What did you say bitch?!"
"I thought you said we're all the same, so if you're calling me the bitch, then you're a bitch yourself," Freylah said as she give a laugh at that as Inferneius pull out his axe as he said, "I'm going to make you regret saying that."
"Bring it on dumbass," Freylah said as she pulled out her Runeglaive as she was ready to throw down with the berserker as Lorondos said, "Please stop, there no need to fight."
"Oh there a reason to fight alright, and I'm not stopping now," Inferneius said as he ready his axe to fight Freylah said, "Took the words out of my mouth."
As they soon leap up at each other, their weapon clash with one another and began a fight with each other. Clearly they all had some kinks to work out if they ever want to work together as a unit. But before the battle could progress Hezreaus charged in and forced the two to break it up by swinging his sword upward. Once he did so PamiPami put her gauntlets on and pushed the two apart. "Break it up both of you!" Hezreaus roared out as he glared at the two. "Fighting isn't going to solve anything if anything it's going to make things a hundred times worse!" Hezreaus yelled as he glared at the two in question.
"He/she started it!" Both Freylah and Inferneius yelled out in their defense.
"I don't care who started it I'm finishing it!" Hezreaus yelled before Lezanda cut in.
"And technically Infereius simply voted you kind of added fuel to the fire Freylah." Lezanda said as she looked to the Castanic who then pouted and sat back down.
"Anyhow with that sort of incident I don't think you two hot heads would be suitable leaders." Lorondos said as Freylah glared at the Baraka.
"Oh so you plan to vote for yourself?!" She yelled accusingly glaring at Lorondos.
"On the contrary I nominate Hezreaus." Lorondos said causing all eyes to fall to the main.
"It makes sense and is the logical move." Lezanda spoke up as eyes fell to her. "He was the first of our characters and was the main if anything it's only logical he is the leader seeing as he was used more than any of us." Lezanda said to which Freylah had to agree on that much.
"Yeah big brother is the leader!" PamiPami yelled raising her arms in a gun show like motion. "And now you two hot heads our out voted!" PamiPami taunted as she grinned at the two hot heads in question who scowled or bore their fangs depending on the race of either.
"Ok with that out of the way." Hezreaus began as he looked to the group. "Let's head out to the island and train a bit to figure out what we can do." Hezreaus said but just then they heard the sound of bells from outside signaling an attack of some sort causing the group to all get up.
(Balcony)
The group arrived outside and down below saw something going on. Ships were docked at the beach areas of the island with some sort of siege towers to allow them access to said island. From there they quickly took note that the soldiers departing from the boats were attacking the people from the island and judging from their European design these guys were probably from the Continent of Gainos.
"Crap." Hezreaus cursed as he saw this attack take place.
"It seems we may have a trial by fire here." Lorondos said as Inferneius heard this.
"I say we go down there and teach these home invaders a lesson!" Inferneius roared as he glared down upon the attackers below.
"Or we can try moving the Castle we don't know the full extent of what we can do. We may just end up dying if we interfere." Lezanda said but Hezreaus already decided on their next course of action.
"Let's get down there fast." Hezreaus said as he in turn ran to the Pegasus Platform.
"Alright action!" Freylah called out as she followed by Inferneius ran over with PamiPami jumping up and riding on the Aman's back. Lorondos and Lezanda saw this and thus Lorondos followed after the group agreeing that they had to help those people. Lezanda was against this but if anything they can use this as incentive to learn what they can do while also protecting the people of this island.
(Scene Break Down below)
The little girl Anya was running away to find cover somewhere as she held her stuffed bear Zo-Zo. As she ran she avoided a fire based attack from the attackers hoping to hide in the village's storehouse where they keep the Sap for the Sorrow Tree. But as she ran she tripped and fell causing her to cry out in shock holding Zo-Zo close from it.
"Don't know who you people are." The attacker said as she wore a revealing outfit, a headband, and two daggers. "But the Queen ordered this island removed from the board so nothing personal little one." She said despite wanting to make sure some of the girls survived to join the Queen's army but alas that was not meant to be.
"Help!" Anya cried out as she hugged her stuffed bear, Zo-Zo, close to her chest.
Just then a roar was heard and thus PamiPami appeared and punched the Assassin away. "Leave the midget alone!" Freylah followed up as she came in with her spear at the ready.
"W-what?!" The Soldier asked as she saw that this island had some protectors.
"I suggest... for your sake you walk away now." Lorondos said as he walked up holding his staff at the ready showing he meant business right now. "Otherwise I cannot promise you will be safe." HE added as the woman then got a good look at them.
"No way... demons. Monsters!" She roared out readying her weapon when she saw Lorondos, Inferneius, and PamiPami.
"Hey we ain't monsters skank!" Freylah roared out as she pointed her Runeglaive at the soldier ready to fight.
Just then she roared and attack only to be blasted to the wall by Lezanda via her gun. "Come on we need to hurry and change the tides fast." Lezanda said knowing these people were dragged into this for one reason or another.
"She's right let's move!" Hezreaus ordered and thus the group sprang into action until Anya grabbed Hezreaus' arm.
"What is it?" The leader asked as he looked down to Anya.
"These people... they took my friends." She said holding Zo-Zo close to her.
"Why?" Freylah asked as she looked to Anya.
"Because these children have a unique connection to the Sorrow Tree... the Gifted Children." Lezanda said as Anya nodded to them.
In turn the group was reminded of the fate of Anya and her friends in the actual game story... how Anya sacrificed herself with her friends to provide the player the edge to beat the Argon Predator. With it Hezreaus looked to the girl and kneeled down before her and smiled to her. "We'll get them back I promise you that." Hezreaus said to which Anya looked and nodded to the heroes of this Island.
(Meanwhile Main Square)
The battle was being coordinated at the main square as there two figures were seen at work. One was a big breasted and wide hipped nun who could pass off as a MILF if she wanted to. She seemed to be wielding a pain of nunchucks of sorts as she was accompanying her ally to oversee this invasion. The blond haired and blue eyed nun's companion was looking over the map they had acquired as if trying to search for something they can use to help with this invasion.
"Captain Irma." The nun began as the leader Irma looked to Melpha. "Are you sure the Queen was wise to try and take this place?" Melpha asked as she looked to the land in question where Crusaders and the Assassins of the Fang were basically raising this town to the ground.
"It was her orders and you must have felt it when we arrived." Irma said looking away from the map for but a moment.
"Yes when we arrived this land that tree it felt divine as if God had sent it down from the heavens." Melpha said and that's not including the fact that this island had appeared out of nowhere in the past month.
"Queen Aldra has ordered us to acquire it before any enemies of her domain can acquire it." Irma said as she was simply following orders right now. "And if not then to burn it down." Irma said knowing full well this tree would no doubt have some sort of protections of a magic variety.
"But that is sacrilege." Melpha defended but Irma then spoke up.
"We will only do it as a last resort better to make sure it does not fall into the wrong hands." Irma said as Melpha conceded to that but even she could feel the holy power of this tree... yet at the sometime she also felt some sort of sadness rom it.
"The people here called it Tiaran the Sorrow Tree." Melpha said remembering past scouting of what the people here had called the tree. "Perhaps... this mysterious tree is actually an embodiment of God's sorrow." Melpha said as she looked to the tree feeling the sadness from the tree despite it providing a comforting aura as well.
"But seeing how things are going our way here I doubt it would be needed." Irma said just before a Crusader and Assassin ran in getting the two girls attention.
"We have a situation!" The Crusader called out as he looked shocked while the Assassin was being helped by the Crusader.
"Report." Irma ordered as she hated when life proved her wrong like that.
"A strange warrior… came out of nowhere. So strong he overwhelm our forces single handle," the assassin said as surprising both women as Irma order to the Crusader, "Send in more troops and take care of that-
"Commander!" another voice as a Crusader came up looking worst for wear as it seem he was caught in a explosion of sort as he as bleeding and breathing heavily as he said, "We're in danger, squad 3 was wipe out by a strange elf warrior with a strange yet powerful weapon. She wipe us out before the battle even began!"
Irma eyes widen to this as the Crusader warrior drops down as he said, "I barely manage to escape… I don't know… if there are… anymore survivors."
Melpha acted quickly as she went to the assassin warrior and said, "hold still I'll heal you."
"Commander! A she-devil came out of nowhere and started killing everyone!" An assassin said as she looked heavily wounded, barley escaping with her life as she fell to her knees and said, "No one can match her power. She was too fast to hit."
"Commander!" another voice called as more and more troops were returning back as it seem some barely gotten out alive with other no so lucky as some were missing limbs or beaten black and blue, and it wasn't ending there as the reports came in as she can tell 6 strange warrior that came out of nowhere and beaten or killed everyone that engage them in battle.
Irma fist tighten as she said, "Send in everyone! Capture or destroy these warriors, no matter what it takes!"
(Hezraeus)
The white hair slayer slam his sword down doing some AE Damage to the warriors around as far Hezraeus can tell these ninja like women and warrior male class fighters were not players like him or the rest, nor were they NPC's like everyone else on the island.
They did not use any special skills or move set, and their weapon and armor were complete garbage, they were worse than level 1 players as he said, "For people that started to invade the island… they aren't that good. I thought there could be a strong fighter or two among them, oh well better keep moving and find these invaders camp or something."
Putting back his sword on his back as he move on from the area that was litter with bodies, some could be dead, other were just knock out, and for some reason it didn't bother him as much, but then again his whole personality change, his mind seem to just accepted to these changes quickly. But then again his memories like is allies were fragmented with pieces missing so it could be he was in a war before this.
Speaking of his mind, it seem he still remember how to fight with the slayer skill set, but he hardly had to use more than two moves sense the enemy was quite weak as he just one or two-shot them.
Before he could walk any further, more assassin ninja warrior's show up out of nowhere as one of them said, "Surrender warrior, we have you surrounded!"
"Jeez." Hezreaus sighed to himself scratching his head. "Yeah you have me surrounded... but not outgunned." Hezreaus said before using a charge attack with sword raised and followed it up with powerful hacks and slashed as he began to fight his way through his foes. As he did so he dodged and avoided the attacks with ease using the dodge roll function on instinct alone. He then jumped up and used the flat side of his sword to block an attack. From there he slashed his way through the Assassins before taking a stance after spinning his massive blade over him with ease.
Once he did so he then jumped back to avoid an attack from the Crusaders as they were using magic mainly. Holy Magic from what he could guess meaning these guys may have a magic system that differs from Tera Online. He then ran up to them avoided there attacks left and right before spinning around and performing a combo of multiple attacks. From there he jumped back and proceeded to back hand another attacker as he began to notice the way he moved was not control aspects from the game.
'Of course without the need for the controller I am not restricted to the player move sets I can basically be a bit creative with how I move.' Hezreaus thought to himself as he realized he could use this to his advantage.
He then back stepped and blocked another attack before using a sweeping kick to knock his foe off their feet. Once he did so he grabbed one of his foes with his free hand and tossed them aside before kicking them. Once he did this he soon dodged gun fire and thus saw Lezanda appear with her rune cannon. "Was wondering where you were." Hezreaus said as he saw her arrive as they stood back to back.
"Yes well I hit traffic on the way." Lezanda said as she had her cannon aimed at their foes.
"Cover me!" Hezreaus ordered and thus he charged in with Lezanda providing support fire. The two began to fight side by side as they showed too many a human and an Elf working side by side in battle to attain victory. As Hezreaus took out the foes Lezanda began to mow through the attackers with rapid fire actions of her gun. Once she did so she in turn began to use her mystic shots and spread shots to help even out the playing field.
It wasn't long until Hezreaus managed to breach a hole in their defenses and in turn the two charged on through. "Come on!" Hezreaus called out as he ran through the path with Lezanda leaving their defeated foes behind them.
(Meanwhile with PamiPami)
PamiPami quickly realized she wasn't restricted to her skill set and thus had been going to town on her foes. With a roar she punched an Assassin in the face before hopping on over to a Crusader and smashing the top of his skull. She then went for the next foe and kicked him in the face. Once she landed her tail moved back and forth as her ears twitched about looking for any other foes. She then back flipped to avoid another attacker and in turn spun kicked the back of his head before landing.
"Don't underestimate me because I'm small and adorable!" PamiPami called out as she looked ready for more. The attackers were very wary of PamiPami now as she punched her gauntlets together ready for more of them. But just then her ears went straight up and thus she quickly dodged a spear attack and in turn Freylah appeared with her Runeglaive at the ready.
"Isn't that the she devil from before?!" A crusader asked as Freylah's eyes twitched in response to being called that.
"I'm not a she Devil I'm a Castanic!" Freylah yelled as she was getting real tired of being called that.
"Focus!" PamiPami called out as she jumped over her friend and proceeded to punch and attack through the crowds as the duo were handling crowd control together. Freylah was fast and PamiPami was strong making them a deadly combo together. As they continued on forth they made sure that their foes were given a much deserved beat down trying to avoid killing them if it can be helped. After all they had to find Anya's friends before these people can figure out their connection to the tree. No doubt they all wanted to avoid the fate the children shared in an eternal dream to support the life force of this tree.
Once they got through the major foes Freylah rolled her shoulders a bit ready for some more while PamiPami stretched her arms. "Jeez it's nice to get the kinks out of what we can do." PamiPami said as Freylah agreed.
"No kidding." Freylah said ready for the big time already. "Come on we still gotta find those brats fuzz ball." Freylah said as she looked to PamiPami.
"How am I fuzz ball?" PamiPami asked accusingly to which Freylah smirked to her. PamiPami then went wide eyed as she realized the ears and tail was a giveaway. "Shut up." PamiPami growled before she followed after Freylah.
"To easy." Freylah said to which she and PamiPami jumped back to help the others.
(With Lorondos and Inferneius)
The Aman roared in fury and triumph as he swung his axe around wildly. During and after each swing he mixed his roars up with laughter as he sounded a bit like Heavy from Team Fortress 2 when he laughed like that. Nearby Lorondos had managed to regroup with his larger friend and was providing him support. Mainly being the provider for buffs and healing as his friend seemed to have a nasty habit of losing focus of his health in battle. Of course he was the tank so it can be excused on his part and thus he allowed him to burn himself through while providing him with the buffs to keep him from collapsing or dying.
Lorondos was clearly trying to save violence as a last resort seeing as he was making sure to only caused damage as needed. He tend to avoid killing if it can be helped but clearly he was the sort one would best avoid angering if it can be helped. IT was hard to get under this Baraka's skin but when you do... its best you run to the nearest exit and hope he doesn't chase you. Luckily the two were keeping damage to the minimum at the moment despite Inferneius more than trigger happy demeanor at the moment.
The Assassins and Crusaders were backing away as they did not wish for this massive monster to have his way slaughtering them. "I suggest you all walk away while you still can." Lorondos said hoping they would take it. "I'm not quite sure how long I can keep my friend here from having fun." Lorondos added as he tapped his staff onto the ground and thus Inferneius laughed as if waiting to cut loose.
A combination of both was all they needed to run away as they already saw what he did to their friends and didn't want to get involved with that. "Ah." Inferneius complained as he wanted them to be dumb enough to fight him.
"Don't worry my friend I have reason to believe their falling back to the Sorrow Tree." Lorondos said with his hood still up.
"What makes you say that?" Inferneius asked to which Lorondos looked.
"It's the hidden temple inside the tree that has the highest concentration of magic and would provide an excellent spot to try to overpower us and it would no doubt be where the missing children are kept." Lorondos said as Inferneius heard this.
"Then come on let's go!" Inferneius called out ready to move out for some action.
(With Irma and Melpha)
"Ma'am the enemy is starting to regroup into pairs of two." A subordinate reported as she looked to Irma.
"Have our troops fall back to the tree we'll spring a tap for them there." Irma said knowing full well from prior reports the fenced off area at the ruined temple close to the tree had a dungeon of sorts inside.
"Wait but the children we located they are there." Melpha gasped as Irma looked to them. "They have a powerful connection to this tree we need to move them to a safer location." Melpha added to which Irma knew this.
"If worse comes to worse we will need to use... THAT." Irma said to which Melpha was shocked to hear this.
"But it's too soon we must have other options to utilize." Melpha said as Irma didn't want to do it but she was being left with no choice on this.
"We'll draw them into the main room and bargain with them. If they don't agree to our terms..." Irma trailed off to which Melpha understood.
"I'll have the ships ready to depart just in case." Melpha said because right now if it's true three of the warriors were woman they there was three possible contenders for the upcoming Queen's Blade Tournament.
"Good." Irma said hoping against hope these warriors will agree to submit.
"Captain." A woman said approaching Irma. "We found the last child she was close to the ruined temple where those bears were." She reported to which Irma nodded as this meant that all four gifted children were located.
"Good make sure she is with the others." Irma said to which the Assassin nodded and went to carry out the order.
(Back with Hezreaus and Lezanda)
The two were fighting their way through the cave system torts the Camp where the Pegasus platform was. Knowing full well it was their ticket out if things go south but right now they had other problem as well. As Hezreaus fought his way through the enemies he hoped Anya did as she was told and stayed hidden. When he played the game he hated how the girl sacrificed herself to give his characters victory in battle. But it could not be helped at the time even though it left a bitter taste in his mouth. But alas this time he swore it would be different he'll save her this time as well as her friends.
As the duo continued their assault Lezanda fired off her cannon once more until they heard the familiar roar of PamiPami. They looked and saw the Elin Brawler jumping in and smacking down a Crusader in the face. Once she did so Freylah joined in as she let loose a battle cry attacking the multiple foes facing her. Once she did this she regrouped with the other two.
"Ladies." Hezreaus said as he greeted the duo.
"Big brother!" PamiPami called out as this caught Hezreaus off guard.
"What?" Freylah asked as she was just as lost.
"Well since we're basically the same person I figured we should act on our personalities you know." PamiPami said with a smile on her face. "I mean can't change who we are so why not roll with it?" PamiPami asked to which Hezreaus heard this.
"She has a point." Lezanda said as she looked to PamiPami.
"Feh fine but I'm not agreeing to this cause I want to." Freylah said to which Hezreaus took note to their personality traits.
'Bro-con, Tsunadere, and Ice Queen.' Hezreaus mentally marked each of the girls off as he saw the way the girls acted.
Just then they heard a roar of laughter and saw Inferneius charging in horns first as he was taking multiple foes with him. When he finally stopped he managed to hit the wall again after the group got out of the way. Luckily the foes he took were alive and well as Inferneius lost his grip on them before hitting the wall.
In turn they saw the massive Aman with his head stuck in the stone wall as he struggled to get it out. "Ok gotta hand it to him... the guy can take a hit." Hezreaus praised as he and PamiPami went to help him out.
"Oh dear." Lorondos said as he saw the state Inferneius was in.
"He went happy Heavy?" Freylah asked to which Lorondos nodded.
"Quiet so." Lorondos confirmed as soon Inferneius was pulled out of the wall as he was laughing.
"I AM UNKILLABLE!" Inferneius cheered as he grinned big time to his cohorts.
"Huh so this is what makes him happy and not angry." Freylah said as she looked to the group.
"Very much so." Lorondos said as he saw the guy was enjoying himself. "Of course I had to bribe him with more foes to keep him moving." Lorondos added to which Lezanda nodded.
"Smart." The Female High Elf Gunner praised knowing this guy might have a one track mind.
"Come on we still got a ways to go." Freylah said to which Hezreaus agreed with her. "I saw them regrouping at the ruins their probably trying to ambush us in the Sorrow Tree." Freylah said and thus Hezreaus nodded in understanding.
"Let's move out we need to hurry." Hezreaus said and thus they were once more on the move.
(Meanwhile Inside the Sorrow Tree)
Anya was being tied up with her friends as they were all captured by the Queen's Army and the Assassins of the Fang. The Crusaders of the Church were keeping an eye on them as she felt the tree was in danger. "Zo-Zo." Anya said as she had dropped Zo-Zo at the entrance and so far these people won't go and find him to bring him back. The little girl was next to the Aman Body, a furry andromorph creature, and an elf as they were huddled together.
Melpha saw the fear they all had and like Irma felt terrible for it. But they had orders to follow even if they didn't agree with them. Irma was being told the reports as this was where they will make there stand as she pulled out a crystal of sorts. Inside it was a powerful magical creature that would hopefully give these warriors incentive to surrender. But if she was wrong then she feared they may have no choice but to wipe this place out.
"Captain." An assassin said as Irma looked to them. "The scouts reported that the group is making their way torts this place." She reported and thus Irma nodded.
"Good we're all set get ready." Irma said as they were now going to hold the line here. Melpha nodded as this caused her breasts to bounce a bit while making a promise that if or when they succeeded to make sure those children were well taken care of.
But then a Crusader sneered at the scared children before walking off. "Children should be seen not heard." He said showing his contempt to these heretics who were gifted with magic to equal the Angels or surpass them if given the chance. A chance he hoped would never come in the near future.
(Scene Break The party)
The group arrived at the entrance area inside the Sorrow Tree as they looked around a bit. "Ok so they weren't outside so they have to be inside." Inferneius said as he looked for their missing foes.
"It would be logical." Lorondos said as he agreed with his dragon like friend.
"Come on we have to hurry!" Freylah called out only for PamiPami to take notice to something.
"Hey look at that!" PamiPami called and thus the group looked to it.
Hezreaus walked up to the item in question as he gave it a look inspecting the item in question. "Wow... a stuffed bear. Totally noteworthy." Freylah said but Hezreaus instantly recognized it.
"This is Zo-Zo." Hezreaus said as he saw the stuffed animal.
"Wait what?" Freylah asked remembering the girl from before, Anya.
"He's right." Lezanda said noticing this was in fact Anya's stuffed bear Zo-Zo.
"But if that bear is here... then." Lorondos said as Hezreaus then clenched his fist in response.
"Come on we have to hurry." Hezreaus said before Lorondos spoke up.
"I do hope you know this is a trap right?" Lorondos asked as he looked to Hezreaus.
"Yeah... I just don't care right now." Hezreaus said and thus Lorondos nodded.
"Just as long as we're all in agreement on this." Lorondos said and thus the ground began to climb the steps to the highest platform to meet their foes and save the village children and hopefully avoid their fate from the one they had in Tera Online.
(Later Top Platform)
Irma and Melpha waited for their foes to arrive as Melpha heard the sound of fighting from the second platform they had passed knowing the troops they left there were trying to weaken them a bit. They got ready for the worst and knew they would be tired from all the fighting they had done. Magic Caster among them or not it made sense that they had limits to what they can do. Melpha would be acting as the diplomacy of the group to hopefully convince them to drop their arms. They currently hold all the cards at their disposal so if anything these people should be willing to conceded to what they want.
It wasn't long till the sound of fighting came to an end and thus the group was met with the gates opening to reveal the group in question. Irma was surprised to see an Elf among them and could see why she had won those fights before they even started. With the size of the weapon she was holding it was a wonder how she can carry it let alone how it doesn't collapse under its own weight. The other female with horns must be the She Devil the troops spoke of as accompanying them was a beast like man with a staff no doubt the magic caster of the group as he stood next to a demonic being with a draconic look to him.
On his hunched back was a girl with the ears and tail of an animal as she glared at the group before her making for an odd sight from the horned being and the animal eared girl. Leading them all was a human with a massive sword on his back who currently looked quiet crossed with them at the moment. "Stop where you are!" Irma ordered them as she glared at the group who did as told. So far so good but she didn't want to take a chance with these unknown variables. "I suggest for your own good you drop your weapons and stand down." Irma said as he glared at them. "As you can see we have all of you both outnumbered and surrounded." Irma said as he glared at the group.
"Hey you're the ones who attacked our home we're the ones trying to protect it!" Freylah called out pointing her spear accusingly at Irma. "If anything you should leave right now!" Freylah called out a she glared at Irma.
"Regardless you all have been fighting without stop no doubt your all beginning to feel the fatigue wear you down." Irma said as she glared at the group.
"I'm sure we can see it through to the end." Hezreaus said as he got ready for another round against these unknown invaders. He looked around and sighed in relief when he saw that not only the children were safe but they were not in a dream tube like their variants were in the game of Tera Online. In other words they may have a chance to avoid any need for sacrifices or tragedy of some sort.
We're giving you two choices. Choice 1: All of you can try and fight us till your dying breath, but those who will remain alive will be prisoners here until judgment is place upon you as know it or not, we don't die that easily no matter how many of you comes at us," Hezreaus said as he held up one finger as the few assassin and crusaders around seem ready to attack, but held off until a signal was given as Hezreaus raise another finger as he said, "Choice 2: release all the children you kidnap, and leave the island and never come to attack to again, and we promise we won't kill you, but if you do try anyone else, or come back here and do it again, we will be shown no mercy on those who broke this agreement. This is your only chance to decide."
"Please, we don't mean any harm. We're here on orders and everyone is doing their job as servants of God. No one else needed to die. We just wanted to ensure the power within this tree does not fall into the wrong hands and keeping these children safe," Melpha said as she hope her words and reach out to the warriors, but Lezanda suddenly pointed her weapon at the priestess with a shot ready to fire at her as she said, "Does serving god also meaning conquering and killing innocent people while kidnapping children against their "free will" and putting them into prison or worst like slavery? Because that what we see that what you're doing."
Melpha was surprise by this as she had no respond to it, with Irma knows this was wrong… but she couldn't go against the queen's order without reason, as she had one more desperate idea that could settle this argument a more peaceful, yet still a bit violent way as Irma said, "It's not up to us to make that call, and the Queen would likely to send more here if you kill us or keep us prisoners… but I do purpose a deal, one that will settle this and have no more threat upon you or this island."
"Why would we make bargain with scum like you? I say kick their asses off the island. Make them swim back where they came from," Freylah said before she could try anything, Hezreaus held up his hand that told everyone to hold in place, then place his hands on Lezanda cannon weapon to make her lower it as she got the message as Hezreaus asked, "What sort of deal?"
"I suggest a match, us two against two of your female warriors, if we initiate a Queen's blade match that other can be witness to it across the lands, and wager what we can agreed upon so the pack can't be broken," Irma said as Melpha is surprise by Irma to have such an idea and glad they weren't resorting to the crystal with PamiPami asked, "Queen's blade? What is that?"
"You're not aware of it?" Melpha asked as Hezreaus quickly thought of something, using the information he learn about the island of Dawn today and try to make it believable as he said, "We're not well informed of what happens beyond this island, and we were all kept in an isolated state… until recently. Tell us about this Queen's blade, and maybe we can come to an agreement."
"A tournament that happen every 4 years as many of female warriors gather to the main capital of Gainos to achieve victory to be the new Queen of the lands, but to compete in the tournament itself, female warriors must call forth a Queen's blade match and attain a win or fight skillful and honorable that other recognize their strengths to fight within the Queen's blade," Melpha said as she hope that could help settle things peacefully.
How Hezreaus and some of the other see it, they can save time and energy of fighting all the invaders and settle the differences with the wager, and this Queen's blade itself did sound interesting, but that thought would have to be save for later as they need to settle thing and make it fair for both sides, as he may not remember what his old life was like, but he could guess his old self would want to keep things fair as he place his sword on his back as he said, "Alright then, deal. We'll settle this in a match."
"Very well, let me call forth an angel" Melpha said as she suddenly gotten on one knee and said, "I Melpha here ask an angel to come forth for a Queen's blade match to help settle our troubles."
After that a bright light shine above the tree that somehow pierce through the tree leaves as an angel that everyone is surprise to see coming forth, as they saw a purple hair woman with a white dress outfit with two gorgeous wings on her back came forth as she spoken with a gentle voice as she said, "I am the archangel Hachiel. I have come to answer your prayer, what's troubling you."
"Angel Hachiel we request for a Queen's blade match to help settle a wager with the warriors of this land so we can end this peacefully without any more bloodshed and be witness to this pact we will make, in a two on two match." Melpha said to the angel as Hachiel nodded and said, "Very well, then. Warriors that wishes to fight in the queen's blade match please come forth."
"Freylah, Lezanda you two are up," Hezreaus said as the two ladies of the team came forth as he figure they would be the best against fighters these two women.
"Oh yea, I was itching for a chance to cut loose," Freylah said as she ready her weapon with Lezanda ready her Arcannon weapon for combat hopefully end this shortly as she said, "I'm ready to begin."
"Now then we shall begin." Hachiel said as she flew up to a spot she can observe and broadcast this match. She then noticed the Tree had a viewing sphere as well and thus opted to activate it. She also noticed the spheres on the Sky Castle and one inside the castle thus totaling in three orbs in all. She had never seen this place before but counted herself lucky for the fact the orbs appeared here as well.
"Now the matches must be one on one and only the Queen has authority to overrule it but I shall attempt to broadcast both matches at the same time." Hachiel said taking more for her work load to get the job done.
"I understand." Melpha said a bit bashful over that small hiccup.
"Now then ye fighters who wish to enter the Queen's Blade I shall officially bear witness to these contests." Hachiel began using her magic and thus two rings of magic appeared around the fighters. It was clearly Lezanda vs Irma and Freylah vs Melpha for this battle.
The group and people were shocked when they saw the orb in the tree glow and thus begin showing the battle live streaming it with magic. It was just like the New York Time Square Jumbo Tron for the group when they saw it. "Now in our first ring on one side we have Irma the Assassin of the Fang." Hachiel introduced as Irma saw she was on the screen. "And on the opposing side we have..." Hachiel trailed off and tried to find Lezanda's name in her book and quickly found she could not find either PamiPami, Lezanda, or Freylah.
"Apologies but may I ask your names?" Hachiel asked being polite about this.
"All is forgiven... my name is Lezanda and if you must know my title." Lezanda began as she tried to think of a name on the spot. "I'll go by Lezanda the Queen of Artillery." Lezanda said using the first name that came to mind while being careful not to use the name of Queen for her title in a royal manner opting to avoid offending others.
"Very well and your name and title?" Hachiel asked turning torts Freylah.
"I'm of the Castanic Race so call me Freylah the Valkyrie of Dawn!" Freylah called out using her Class to her advantage while explaining what race she was.
"Very well and thank you. You two are not competitors of the Queen's Blade Tournament." Hachiel began getting back to subject after writing their names down to keep her notes updated at all times. "In this battlefield we have Irma Assassin of the Fang vs Lezanda the Queen of Artillery." Hachiel wondering how the High-Elf can lug that massive gun around.
(Island)
The Orb hovering around the island close to the Skycastle glowed a well showing a split screen image of the fights to all. It in turn proceeded to show Lezanda and Irma read to face each other in mortal combat. "Next in the other match." She began as the second image showed the fighters. "We have Melpha the Priestess of Gainos vs Freylah Valkyrie of Dawn." Hachiel spoke as her voice echoed for all to hear.
(Elven Forest)
"Is she one of ours?" A random Elf asked as they saw Lezanda on the viewing orb.
"It can't be the last Elf who left was Echidna." Another said as they knew a pureblooded Elf when they saw one.
(Bar)
A woman was sunbathing as she lifted her glassed a bit to her green hair as she pursed her lips at what she saw. "Well this seems interesting." She said as she saw them there. "That girl with the cannon reminds me to much of that nasty combat instructor." The woman said before laying back down a bit. "I best avoid her till I can see if she may be a bit fun." She said before her eyes laid on the friend. "But that horned one... she may prove to be delicious." She said knowing a Tomboy when she saw one.
(Battle)
"Now let us begin these contests and let the gates of trials be open!" Hachiel called out knowing Nanniel will no doubt be unhappy being unable to host the first Queen's Blade Match. And thus with the signal Lezanda pulled out her gun and began firing upon Irma noting that she was fast and would be able to get close no problem. Freylah did the same against Melpha and thus the first Queen's Blade Battle began and with it the beginning of the domino effect begun by the arrival of these mysterious warriors.
On Lezanda side of things as she took aim and fire her weapon, Irma keep dodging the shot at great speeds as the elf woman is surprise someone possess such speeds in this new world they were in, for her it was just another annoyance.
Soon Irma gotten close up and personal to, the Queen of Artillery avoided the attack aimed at her, as no doubt the practice the player has spent with her to master her skills with a her own B.F.G sense she is one of the slow class, but that won't stop her.
Soon try to use her chain of moves on the assassin to see how well she could withstand her onslaught of her cannon.
On Freylah of things, she quickly charges at Melpha hoping for a one hit win as she thought the priestess would be like Lorondos, a simple support character that know good healing spells and little offensive attacks.
As she thrust her weapon at Melpha, turn out the priestess was fast enough to react and use her strange weapon to block the attack and deflect it away, despite it looking like a cheap made flail, it was strong enough to withstand her Runeglaive.
But she wasn't done yet as she swing her Runeglaive around and slash at Melpha again, as she saw the lack of protection the priestess had, as she was wearing normal cloth clothing, cutting a cut into it as Melpha dodge the attack before it could do any damage to her.
AS they keep on fighting as the Valkyrie warrior was landing more hits on Melpha than she could count, as the priestess is good at dodging and blocking, but she was getting push back very much as Freylah said, "I was hoping for of a bigger fight, but now it just feel like I'm just kicking a little kid that could barely pick up a wooden sword. Are you even trying to fight at all?"
"I'm sorry, I lack the skill in combat. I know you're a good person if you're willing to protect this island and save its people. I just can't attack you, knowing what you are doing this for?" Melpha said as Freylah was tick off as she said, "Don't give me that bullshit reason!"
Melpha flinch at this as Freylah went on saying, "Once you accept to fight, I was hoping for something grand, am waiting for any great attack you may have or a last stand, but instead I got a big boob pussy who won't even throw a punch to defend herself. IF you just accepted this fight just to lose then you are wasting not only my time but everyone else's! So you can ether surrender right now or do something for once instead of being a little bitch!"
Melpha is shock by Freylah words, and knew she was right, as she has been just holding back, as she did want what was best for the children, as ether win or lose somehow the children would be alright, but in this case she was just insulting her opponent by not fighting and great dishonest by just throwing the fight as Melpha soon had a serious look on her face as Melpha said, "Then, let me apologies again. I didn't realize I was insulting you."
Freylah watch as Melpha gotten into a different stand as instead of just defending, she was about to do something else as Melpha said, "Let me show you what I can do."
Suddenly taking everyone by surprise as Melpha did a sexual pose as she called out, "Holy Pose!"
A light shine from Melpha as it Blinded Freylah for a moment while stunning her for a moment, she couldn't move for a bit, as Melpha charge at Freylah, swinging her flail. Freylah saw it coming at her fast, as she felt she could move again, she quickly dodge it at the last moment, thankful for her class and race speeds, she avoided the attack with ease.
(Meanwhile over on the side line)
"Whoa," Hezraeus said as he and everyone else didn't expected that to happen with Lorondos said as he examined that one attack Melpha did as he said, "It almost looks like a Kama sutra."
"That… was awesome," Inferneius said as being an Aman race… he was turn on by that, with the two ignoring him for the moment as Hezraeus as his friend, "But she did that strange attack?"
"I can only guess is in this world holy attack are preforms using this Holy Pose as that Priestess call it, and I can only guess there could be more of these poses to come."
"How do you figure?" Inferneius asked as he is hoping for more as Lorondos answer him saying, "There are a lot of Kama sutra poses, and if these poses are the same or similar then Freylah could be in for a fight."
(Back to the Battle)
Freylah landed on the ground nearby as she was caught off guard by that opening attack from Melpha. She knew that was completely out of left field for her seeing as she didn't see it coming not like she could for that matter. She knew she had to be careful with this as she was limited on fighting space and the like. Freylah rolled her eyes and got ready for the fight and in turn crouched down while holding her Glaive to her back. Once she was on all fours she dug her armored high heeled boots into the ground getting ready to charge. Once she was ready she charged head first into the fight with a mighty roar as Melpha saw this.
The Priestess quickly dodged the attack causing her breasts to bounce from the move and thus allowed Freylah time to spin kick her. Melpha was tossed to the side for it as she looked to Freylah at her strength. Melpha was quickly back on her feet as she got to her next pose. "Holy Pose!" Melpha began as she began to move to another stance.
"No you don't!" Freylah called out going for the offensive knowing full well what would happen if she wasn't careful.
"Protection!" Melpha called out as in turn her posed caused the light to once more shine from her crotch area.
"Shit!" Freylah cried out and thus was blasted back when she hit the holy shield. Freylah landed on one of the roots that made up the walls and dug her claws into it. When she did so Freylah was in shock to see what Melpha had pulled off. When she got up she noticed a breeze on her bare skin more so then usual and thus looked down. To her surprise her breasts were exposed. The Right globe was bare for the world to see while her left breast was barely hanging in as one can make out the Areoles of her nipples. "What the fuck!?" Freylah gasped a she saw her breasts were exposed like that.
(Sidelines)
"Well that was." Lorondos began as the Baraka coughed into his hand for this. "Unexpected." He said as he saw what had happened just now.
"Wait is it incest or selfcest if we ogle her?" Infernieus asked with curiosity and thus PamiPami shrugged to this but in all honesty didn't want to answer that.
"Really you had to ask?" Hezreaus asked scolding the big guy who shrugged in response to the scolding.
"It's a legitimate question." Infernieus defended as he looked to Hezreaus who then rolled his eyes in response.
(Back to the battle)
'Incredible I'm a top tiered character but this Holy Pose did a number on me and my armor.' Freylah analyzed as she saw her breasts were out not that she cared. Right now it was battle first then flaunt her goods to the others. 'Looks like this might be worth something.' She thought before she began to grin in anticipation for what was to come. "Looks like I can cut loose a bit and go wild." Freylah said as she was itching for an excuse to go wild.
"Wait what?" Melpha asked and just then Freylah vanished and appeared before Melpha causing slash marks to appear around the nun's body. Freylah didn't stop there as she then pulled from her mana pools and used an energy slash attack with her glaive. Melpha was hit by it as her clothing was being torn apart from it. Freylah was far from finished as she then charged in and began spinning about using her spear to be like a living wheel of death. With each spin of her chain it was clear Freylah was doing ore damage to Melpha. With the final attack Melpha was blasted back by Freylah as the nuns clothing was being torn up from Freylah's onslaught.
Melpha was surprised to see that Freylah letting caution to the wind as she attacked. Needless to say Melpha couldn't believe how powerful Freylah was with each of her attacks. Melpha looked ready for what was coming as Freylah had a savage grin on her face. She wasn't a berserker or a psychopath she was just excited right now. Maybe it was a personality of her old life or maybe it came as part of this character she didn't know. Despite the race having a general alluring aura to them not all of the Castanics were cut from the same cloth.
"Come on is that all you got!" Freylah called out as she looked ready for more. "Show me what Gods love can do in a pinch!" Freylah taunted as Melpha heard this and got up.
"I'm sorry." Melpha began as she saw how strong Freylah was. "By thou shan't not tempt the lord." Melpha said as she got ready for her next attack and from what Freylah could feel... this was going to be a big one.
"Well then if we're going for a big attack." Freylah said as she got ready herself. "Then I'll do the same!" Freylah called out pulling from her Mana Pools once more for her next attack.
Melpha got ready to unleash her attack and thus her Runeglaive began to glow with a powerful aura. "Come on!" Freylah called out ready for the attack.
"Holy Pose!" Melpha began as she was now facing her rear torts Freya where she was bent over, legs spread, and looking at Freylah from between her own legs. Freylah wondered why these Holy Poses needed to be Kama Sutras… before she decided their local god must be a pervert or something. "Judgement!" Melpha called out and thus she sent forth a powerful sphere of Holy magic at Freylah.
"Eat this!" Freylah said returning fire with a powerful rune slash from her spear as the energy from it sailed at the sphere.
The two attacks met half way as they in turn began to try and overpower the other. The attacks sent out backlashes to the users as they both had to shield themselves while their armor and clothing took more damage than before. The attacks in turn ended up exploding causing the area to be covered in smoke. Everyone was forced to shield themselves from it as the smoke covered the area. As Melpha cleaned off her glasses she then saw a glint and a shadow before looking upward. She in turn saw Freylah had launched herself into the air with her spear at the ready. What Freylah did not notice was that the trees and the lighting of it made it seem like she had wings as she came down. Freylah while airborne looked like a punishing angel descending down from the Heavens to exact justice upon her foes.
Melpha had no time to act as she was then knocked to the ground by Freylah. The result was the two rolling on the ground before Melpha found Freylah's spear pointed at her face. She could not get up as Freylah was standing over her with one boot on her left breast squishing it erecting a moan from Melpha.
"I win." Freylah said with a grin on her face at her victory. It seems that this victory was for both fights in these two matches.
(At the same time Lezanda vs Irma)
Both women were still at it as Lezanda was looking a bit worse for wear due to her clothing and armor getting torn to pieces. Right now she could barely keep her top on as it was hanging together by threads.
Irma was in a similar condition as her clothing was looking torn and burnt from all the blast she nearly took and got the ones she got caught near. IT can be seen that she was slowing down because she didn't think she would be fighting this long. No doubt she had thought she could win quickly if she gets close enough but clearly the High Elf was quick on her feet. Even the High Elf was slower than Irma Lezanda was still able to keep up with her.
Lezanda tried to figure out a way to finish the battle as well, or somehow disarm the dark skin assassin girl. But just then a quick thought pop in the High Elf Gunner's mind. She knew this plan could be risky but then again no pain no gain as she said, "You are strong, something I didn't really expect."
"What do you mean?" Irma questioned as Lezanda reply to her, "You're stronger than any of the others that that had come here and had fought against me today, faster too. But just because you are stronger than your subordinates, doesn't mean you can overtake me. I fought through hordes of monsters that were much more dangerous than most living beings, and I keep fighting over coming my own limitations before."
"Your point?" Irma asked as she glared at Lezanda.
"The point is that you aren't even coming close to it because I can see how weak you really are." Lezanda called against her foe as she glared at Irma.
"We'll see about that," Irma said as that seemed to have gotten her upset as she gripped her dagger tightly and try to push a bit more power into her legs and into her strikes. She in turn ran around Lezanda, as the High Elf gunner tried to blast her away but kept missing before she switch it up to rapid fire blast from her cannon. As it fired all around hitting the ground and the walls of the barrier bubble she was in, thankfully not starting a fire within the tree of sorrow, her shots kept missing her foe.
Lezanda saw her plan was working as she was making the girl angry, making her waste more energy than she should, all the while keeping herself from getting any major hits in. Lezanda was dodging the attacks well enough, but her clothing didn't seem share that bot of good luck as Irma had gotten close to her, slashing across her outfit, making the top finally fall down reviling her juicy looking breast that a grown man would be wishing they could suck on them like a baby.
(Meanwhile on the sidelines)
"I think these fights are getting a little bit out of hand," Lorondos said as he saw Lezanda was half naked as well with Inferneius said, "You know what, if we are our own person and different race from each other, I think it will be okay."
"Seriously?" Hezraeus said as Inferneius looked at him and said, "Oh please we know we would make a female character just to look at, as now that I think about it, it just could be self-masturbating."
Hezraeus and Lorondos both sighed at this, as now that they are thinking about it… this brute might just be onto something here, even if it is weird to say the least. At least some of the character the player had made prior were female ones otherwise it would be very awkward right now.
PamiPami on the other hand was having different thought than the boys as she look at herself for a bit before looking at the others, she had a slight attracted towards the female character, but she also getting a similar feeling when she looks at the boys, but more most towards Hezraeus than any others as she love that character more than anything else… but does that mean she attracted towards him if she did come from a male player?
(With the battle)
Lezanda frowned at this but kept her cool as she kept up her act and keep firing her weapon. But Irma proved to be too fast to hit, but it seem she was slowing down, and by the look on her face she was really pushing it with how much sweat she made that turn her ebony skin shiny.
Lezanda thought to herself that now was the time to bring the battle to an end as she seem to have lower her weapon making it look as if she had lost strength to lift the cannon back up. Irma in turn saw it as an opening before she charged into the fray with weapons drawn. As she grew closer she thrusted her dagger forward at the Gunner elf as she said, "This match is over!"
Lezanda then gave a smirk that Irma saw and being surprise by it. Then suddenly when Irma was close enough to the High Elf, Lezanda pulled the trigger shooting a blast at both of their feet as Irma was blown back from the force with her clothing being torn apart by the force alone and rest seem to burn away showing off her breast.
A Dagger flip into the air before it came back down, and soon caught in Lezanda hand, as she somehow withstand the blast of her own weapon. She held the dagger in a reverse grip as she was surprised she was able to hold it. She had thought she can only hold weapon that her character class only allowed, but then again she was going off of the Overlord anime laws.
Irma gotten up and slowly recovered from the blast she took before she saw Lezanda stood before her with her own dagger pointed at her. In turn the High Elf said to her, "Checkmate. I believe this match goes to me."
Irma grid her teeth a bit before she lower her head in shame. Irma knew she had lost the fight as she said, "I Yield."
"And we have our winners, as the first winners of the Queen's blade match are Freylah the Valkyrie of Dawn, and Lezanda the Queen of Artillery
(Meanwhile back on the sidelines)
Everyone cheer out as the heroes of Dawn had won the matches of the best 2 out of 3 without doing a third match as the barrier soon came down, Hezraeus look towards PamiPami and said, "Hey Pami, go free the children. And if anyone stops you… well you know what to do."
"Yes Big brother," PamiPami said before she leaped off of Inferneius back and rush over towards the children and get them free, as Hezraeus look towards Lorondos and said, "Go heal them up so we can send them off faster."
"Understood," Lorondos said as he walk towards the area where the 4 women were fighting in as Hezraeus looked at Inferneius and said, "Stay behind a bit, as If you see anyone try anything, stop them and take them out."
"You got it boss," Inferneius said as soon they both walk up as well with the male Aman Berserker walking slower. He did this so he may stay behind and keep distant to watch out towards the other audience and make sure they don't try something.
As Melpha and Irma were getting back up they failed to notice something seriously wrong as they had their injuries tended to. A nearby Crusader was glaring at the scene with an intent glare as he couldn't believe it. Failure should NOT be tolerated and not only that these heretics who would dare stand in the way of their mission but had also humiliated them for all of Gainos to bear witness. As PamiPami was untying the children and allowing them to run on back to the others the Crusader snapped as he held something hidden in his hand.
"No... NO!" He roared out thus getting everyone attention on him as he fired off a spell of sorts. "I will not... I shall not allow this to happen!" He yelled holding the crystal in his hand making everyone go wide eyed. "We had a task assigned to us by the Queen and a holy task assigned by the Angels! This Island stands against all they had built with this tree. We must secure it even if it means destroying it!" He yelled out I fury holding the crystal in his hand ready to use it.
"No please put that down!" Melpha cried out as Freylah did not know what it was but she knew it had to be bad news somehow.
"No I shall not! If neither you nor God will damn these heathens to Hell then I'll do it for you!" He called out going insane a tad and thus failed to notice PamiPami sneaking up behind him with a sadistic grin on her face. "Approach me if you dare I'd have already awoken this jewel by then!" He laughed as everyone knew if they didn't stop him soon then a lot of people were going to die from it.
Just then he felt someone tug down on his cloak garnering his attention. "Excuse me mister?" The voice spoke as it belonged to PamiPami.
"Huh?" He asked and saw PamiPami there smiling innocently to him.
"Can I give you a Hail Mary?" PamiPami asked ever so cutely and innocently that even a female Crusader and an Assassin couldn't help but be drawn in.
"So cute." One of them gushed but had no idea the snake about to attack.
In turn the cute smile turned into a sadistic one with her eyes hollowed save for a white glow and her teeth grinning and with a twinkle those who saw it knew their fates were sealed. Thus PamiPami then yanked down on this random no name crusaders cloak before delivering a powerful uppercut sending him flying up high into the air and out of his boots also. As he flew up PamiPami reached out her hand and caught the crystal in her hand. "Tell God I said hi!" PamiPami called out as the guy flew into the air. Just then the guy fell back down before he landed on the ground dazed and ready to pass out. "Huh that was fast guess they didn't want you... did you at least tell God I said hi?" PamiPami taunted as the man was unable to retort before passing out from the ordeal. PamiPami then made her cutesy smile again before skipping, away with her gauntlets removed and her hands behind her back.
Everyone saw this and in turn opted to stay out of her way not wanting to be on the receiving end of her fury. While joining back up with Hezreaus everyone knew that this girl was not one to mess with unless you were suicidal somehow.
(Scene Break that evening)
Once everyone was gathered back at the Skycastle it became clear what had happened. The invaders had left while giving them proper information on Gainos. The group managed to pocket the crystal for study as it may prove to give them some information on this worlds system of magic and how it works. "Ok we all know what's happening." Hezreaus said as PamiPami nodded to him.
"Yeah bro." She said from her side of the table. "Thanks to this we have to participate in the Tournament to make sure no one attacks this island again." PamiPami began as she looked to everyone.
"And also secure out place in this world until we can undo what has been done to us." Lezanda said as she looked to her fellow.
"That would be wise and our best bet at the moment. It would also allow us to learn more about this realm as well." Lorondos said and thus they were all in agreement on this.
"Then we better start packing for a road trip." Freylah said with a grin on her face.
"I'll get the Mounts ready for the journey!" Inferneius said as he was ready to go.
"I'll go with you!" PamiPami called out chasing after the big guy and jumping onto his back to ride about.
"I'm not your taxi service!" Inferneius called out as PamiPami ignored him and continued on anyway.
Hezreaus sighed before looking to the skies outside to where he knew Gainos was located at. "Gainos… here we come." Hezreaus said ready to move out once he had their equipment for this long journey. But one thing was certain nothing would ever be the same again.
