Naruto Special
One of the most influential beings created during Halloween Event was a loudmouth ninja in orange named Naruto Uzumaki
In Naruto's World, there was once a God Tree that devoured the living and dead, fed by bloodstained battlefields. A woman from another world, known Kaguya Ōtsutsuki came looking for the fruit of tree. This fruit gave her people power and longevity. Kaguya consumed the fruit of the God Tree and became the first wielder of chakra on Earth
The People she released from the Tree possessed Chakra and one of her sons - Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki - uncovered the secrets. He attempted to teach the people Ninpo which would allow them to sense the thoughts and feeling of others, ensuring peace. Instead the people created ninjutsu to manipulate the world around them and to fight each other. Kaguya went insane, wanting her chakra back, merging with remains the God Tree to become the apocalyptic Ten Tail Beast. Hagoromo and his brother Hamura fought the Ten Tail, finally tearing the Chakra from it's body into Hagoromo, while the de-powered "corpse" was placed inside there latest creation - The Moon.
In the Changed World, more than water falls from the terrifying Red Sky. Sometimes the sky with fill with dark clouds thundering with lightning and rain fire and ash to scorch the land. Sometimes the sky will turn purple and will rain green poison that rots the living and causes buildings to crumble. Sometimes the darkened sky will fill with howling winds and it will rain blood.
"Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu"
(Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)
Today it's raining metal throwing stars. At least on an army of ravenous black and white demonic beasts.
"Your enchantments are working great, Greenwood"
A normal ninja could turn a handful of shuriken into a thousand, but Naruto Uzumaki is far from normal. The spinning pieces of metal rain down on the numerous demonic beasts, cutting them a countless number times. Black blood streams from the wounds, dripping onto the dry Earth and bubbling like grease on a hot grill. The black blood doesn't stain the ground, instead evaporation into nothing.
"Are these things Grimm or Hallows?" asks Naruto Namikaze, glowing with Kyubi's golden chakra aura. He;s dressed in ANBU Black Ops Armour, "They don't have holes or the red markings on there bone masks."
"You're the sensor type, Namikaze. " says another Naruto, this one with long white hair and purple ripple-pattern eyes. He also has horns and wears flowing robes with a wide bone headband. Naruto Ōtsutsuki raises his palm at the blinded monsters and calls out his attack.
"Shinra Tensei!"
A powerful repulsive force strikes with the force of a meteor, crushing ten thousand demon beasts like insects beneath the palm of an angry giant. There bodies explode into clouds of black mist, that are blown across the battlefield by the winds generated by the impact. The ground shakes with the force of the strike, strong enough to snap nearby petrified trees.
"Greenwood, are the civilians OK? "
There is a third Naruto with long flowing gold hair and pointed ears of a elf. He's dressed in green medieval clothing with a hooded dark robe. He holds a twisted wood staff covered in glowing turquoise runes. He moves the staff threw the air creating glowing marks.
A few metres back, there is an overturned armoured bus being protected by spherical gold barrier. Sitting on top of the bus is red fox the size of horse with nine long furry tails and wearing a necklace of 108 black and white beads and jade magatama stones.
"Kurama is protecting them." says Naruto Greenwood, magically adopted son of Elf Shaman Hart Greenwood, "This should take care of the rest."
As he taps his staff on the dry, lifeless ground there is a strange whispering. The glowing turquoise symbols flash green, before collapsing into a single point. A wave of emerald flame explodes out of the point and across the field of war. The monochromatic demonic beasts barely have a chance to roar before they are burnt away.
Small crystals the size of fruit tree seeds fall to the ground with bare wisps of black mist.
When Hagoromo was dying, he separated the Ten Tail's chakra into Nine separate intelligent sapient beings in the form of animals, that would be known as the Tailed Beasts due to the number of tails signifying the level of power each possessed. The Nine Tailed Fox was eventually mind controlled by Madara Uchiha, descended of tainted legacy of Hagoromo's oldest son - Indra. Madara was defeated by his rival Hashirama Senju and the Nine-Tailed Fox was imprisoned inside his wife - Mito Uzumaki. The Senju and there Uzumaki branch were descendants of Hagoromo's wiser son Asura who believed love was the key to peace.
Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the Fourth Hokage (Fire Shadow/Leader) of the Village Hidden in the Leaves - Minato Namikaze. He is the son of Kushina Uzumaki, a member of the destroyed Uzumaki Clan granting him longevity, stamina, and vitality. On the day of his birth, the actions of an evil man, resulted in him becoming the Third Jinchuriki.
[Central City]
Naruto Militia Team 7 has arrived at the Central City Adventurer's Guild
Naruto Namikaze, the 7th Hokage, 3rd Jinchuriki of Kyubi no Yoko - Kurama, and Orange Sage.
Naruto Ōtsutsuki, the Reborn Asura, Possessing of the Rinnegan (Eye of Samsara), and Sage of Six Paths.
Naruto Greenwood, the Shaman. Elf Shaman of Greenwood Forests, Hero, and defeater the Demon King Diabolus.
They are joined by two more versions of Naruto.
One is a tall version of Naruto with red eyes, long hair, pointed fox ears on his head, and nine fox tails behind him. He's dressed in stylish black pants and shoes with a dark orange shirt and black jacket.
Naruto Leviathan, the Golden Devil. He's a version of Naruto that ended up in a Godless world of Devil, Angels, and Fallen Angels. He ended up being reincarnated by Serafall Leviathan, merging with the tailed beast within him to become half devil/half Kitsune. Tho lacking magical power beyond wind blades, he trained with the powerful fighter Sairaorg Bael
The Other is a female version with an eyepatch, tan skin, a diamond marking on her forehead, and flowing blonde hair tied in a braid. She's dressed like Tsunade Senju with a Flak jacket.
Naruko Senju, the Medic, adopted daughter of Tsunade Senju, Slug Sage, and the Second Female Hokage in her world (also Seventh Hokage like Namikaze counterpart)
"So, how did the mission go, Namikaze" says Receptionist Nana, a cute pink-haired woman with small horns resembling cat ears. She's currently moving papers using her Vectors - invisible psychokinetic arms
"It was a mess" says Namikaze, "The Bus was a substandard Type-2 with bad maintenance. The provider needs to be arrested."
"Type-2!?"
Shortly after Halloween Event, once the original colonies were sufficiently fortified, colonists were able to explore and search for other people and colonies to trade with. Originally, they had School Buses outfitted with powerful motors and armour. Type-2s were barely an upgrade, starting from the ground up instead of modifying an existing Bus. Current, Inter Colony Buses are Type-5s mixed in with older Type-4s.
"Substandard Type-2s. There defenses had weaknesses and one of the demon beasts was able to see those weak points. It was a rhino-like beast that pierce the Bus and damaged the engine. Unable to move, the other beasts managed to roll it."
The song "GO" by FLOW begins to play and Namikaze pulls out his Scroll. It's a smart phone based on the designs of Remnant that has become common in the modern colonies.
"Sorry, Hinata's been calling me a lot."
"You take the call" says Ōtsutsuki, "I can handle this."
"Thanks, bro."
Namikaze walks off talking on his Scroll to his very pregnant wife.
"Our family already have thousands of members, but I swear those two want to break a record." comments Greenwood. "I heard his oldest daughter Himawari is getting married soon."
The Valentine Event not only caused every fertile woman and asexual to reproduce, but the chaos magic also allowed many reincarnations. Characters that were parents in there home dimensions, found themselves becoming parents of those same children, reborn with memories and abilities. Namikaze's son Boruto was even born with Kāma symbol he received from fighting Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki and is able to use the Jōgan (Pure Eye). He started remembering his past in Hidden lead at age ten.
"Back to the report. After the Bus's defenses were burst and the Bus itself was disabled, another of those Demon Beasts launched a poison attack." says Ōtsutsuki, sounding bored, "The Adventurer team didn't have enough antidotes or poison protection charms, leaving them crippled.
"Those moronic Bigots!" says an angry Senju, "The reason Adventurers can survive is because of Diversity, but the Bus's Team were filled with a Human First group. I thought those guys died out long ago."
Humans First are adventurer groups that only allow human members, most allowing magic, psychics, and some blessings, but rejecting those with non-human heritage. Chakra Ninjas qualify because they are descended from those freed from the God Tree.
"There are some groups, but they are dying out. Normal humans don't last long without supernatural abilities and once your supernatural abilities become strong enough your no longer normal human." says the Receptionist, "Continue."
"We arrived to the find the wrecked bus and half the passengers already dead with the exhausted Priestess using a failing barrier. Greenwood's Kurama erected a barrier to protect the survivors, while Senju went inside to do emergency healing." says Ōtsutsuki, calm and collected, "Me, Namikaze, and Greenwood wiped out the Demon Beasts closest to the Bus."
"What about Leviathan?"
"I was tracking the survivors of the Adventurer Team. I knew the others could handle things." says Leviathan with a sadistic smirk, "Those traitors abandoned the civilians to escape the demon beasts. Only the Priestess was willing to stay and continue to protect the civvies."
"What do you mean, they were Arrested!?"
The Naruto Militia turn to see a tall Fantasy knight in black/gold armour and a round man in a gray suit with a super curly hair . They are yelling at a golden haired Priestess, who is looking drained and ill.
"Are you telling my sponsored team was arrested for cowardliness!? The Same Team I spend the last two years financing!?" yells the fat man.
"Yes, Sir." says Priestess, "After Alex, Angela, and Mi..Michael died from the poison, the others decided to abandon the mission. I refused and they left me behind."
"Do you know what this will do to my reputation!?" yells the fat man, "It would be better if you had all died!"
"That's enough of that, Mr. Ito "
The black knight and the fat man are trapped in bluish ice.
The Ice caster is a beautiful girl looking in her late teens with black hair, tied into twin tails and blue eyes. She also has a child-like body albeit with large breasts and is dressed like magical girl. The last part making the other Adventurers tense as Magical Girls outside magical warriors, are also known as dangerous magical cannon girls.
"Levia-tan is here! "
"Hello, Mistress Serafall." says Naruto Leviathan to his King, "Why are you here?"
Serafall Leviathan, formerly known as Serafall Sitri, was the Satan Leviathan - one of the Four Satans that rule the Underworld. She's also a magical girl fan girl and is considered an official magical girl by the Union.
"I came to see my beloved Queen, but I couldn't let a villain yell at a cute Priestess! " says Serafall, running up to the blushing Priestess, "What's your name?"
"Priestess Miko, daughter of Goblin Slayer and Priestess." says Miko, "Nice to meet you, Lady Leviathan."
"You can call me, Serafall or Sera-chan! "
Goblin Slayer is an infamous high ranking Adventurer from a Dungeon & Dragons world who specializes in killing Goblins with an absolute ruthlessness, efficiency and surprising creativity. In his world, he used to work alone in world until he saved Priestess when her original party was wiped out by Goblins. The duo were then joined by High Elf Archer, Dwarf Shaman, and Lizard Priest. What's strange is in the Changed World, none of them remember there Real Names just there professions.
In the Changed World, there are many types of Goblins.
He mainly hunts the more generic goblins that plague the colonies, child-size green humanoids with large noses, ears, fangs, and goat eyes. They are slaughtered by the thousands by adventurers every day by low level adventurers. The hedonist servants of demons and dark lord are often used as target practice.
"Are you OK, Miko?" says a Hobgoblin running up to the girl.
He's a tall, very muscular, and surprisingly attractive humanoid with black eyes, green skin, and gray hair. He also has pointed ears and prominent lower canines that make him a Hobgoblin. He also wears a bandanna and carries a sword and gun.
"I'm Ok, Riguras. I'm just regretting getting involved with Mr. Ito"
There are Hobgoblins and Golinas that resemble more muscular green skinned elves, than the generic goblins. Since they don't pillage, murder, or rape, instead following the rules of Great Rimuru Tempest, Goblin Slayer doesn't consider them Goblins, refusing to call them Goblins, instead calling them "Green Tusked Elves" much to there annoyance.
"~Serafall. Don't use Ice Magic in the Guild Hall. I don't want the floors damaged, Again!" yells Nana.
Nana was happy when a sorcerer manage to invert the accelerated aging she suffered as a Silpelit Diclonii, meaning she aged half the speed of humans instead of aging twice as fast. Now at the chronological age of 30 and the physical age of 24, she wonders what more life will throw at her.
During the Halloween Event, Naruto reacted to swarms of monsters in a typical fashion. He used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone technique) to create frail physical copies of himself made of chakra (which is mix of physical and spiritual energy). What Naruto didn't known was due to his strong chakra and Kyubi sealed inside him, his body absorbed a portion of the chaos magic that was changing the world. Instead of creating a thousand clones close to him, it created over thirty thousand clones scattered across North America.
These clones were transformed into alternate versions of Naruto.
One raised by his living parents, instead of growing up alone after leaving the orphanage. One raised by Hashirama's granddaughter the Legendary Medic-Nin Tsunade (who in the original time line would become the Fifth Hokage due to Naruto's efforts). One was a future version of himself who had become the Seventh Hokage. marrying his well-endowed stalker Hinata, and have two children.
There are many raised by different elite ninja of the Hidden leaf village and many raised in other villages. Those treated as human beings and those treated like weapons. Those born with bloodline abilities, supernatural powers, or simply being born female.
There are far stranger ones. Versions of Naruto raised on different worlds. Some were transported by a strange technique, while others were simply born in those different worlds. Some instead of possessing Chakra, possessed the ability to manipulate Qi or psychic power or spiritual aura or magic. Some were great fighters, some were clever tricksters, and majority were those who sought adventure.
The thousands of Narutos were mostly heroes and the vast majority defended there colonies. They came together as a family, working together to achieve there goals. A family which exploded in size with the Valentine Event.
Chapter 2 Orange Fox and Dragon Fafnir.
Central City's Orange Fox Restaurant
November 11, 2019
The Orange Fox Restaurant was founded by a collection of chefs after they were rescued by the Naruto Militia.
Teuchi was a citizen of Konohagakure (Hidden leaf) and the owner of Ramen Ichiraku. Devoted to making Ramen with his daughter Ayame, he is one of Naruto's precious people. He was kind to the boy when the majority of the village treated him like a pariah due to the fox. In the Changed World, there is always a Naruto or Naruko wanting some of his Ramen. There numerous children also possess there parent's addiction to the noodles.
"Another order from Namikaze."
What's shocking is Naruto Namikaze's wife Hinata constantly breaks her husband's record at Ramen eating! Now that she's pregnant for the fourth time, those cravings are making the 70 year old chef feel his age. Thankfully his new wife keeps him healthy and happy, he even found his daughter in another colony and her Valentine husband is tolerable.
"30 servings of Naruto Special #1, 40 servings of Naruto #2, 1 order of Cinnamon Buns,,..." the listing is very extensive and could feed a high school class of normal people. It's a simple meal for a Uzumaki Family.
"Is the New Century Soup ready yet." calls one of the Chefs
"Almost!" calls Komatsu.
Komatsu is a short, thin, and light-skinned young man with short black hair, large black eyes, and a rather wide nose with large nostrils. He was the Head Chef working for the ten-star restaurant in Hotel Gourmet, a hotel owned by the prestigious IGO in the world of Toriko. He is Toriko's ever enthusiastic yet timid chef partner and best friend, who experienced his world's food treasures. Starting when he hired Toriko and acquired the Galala Gator of Baron Archipelago and eventually experiencing the Full Course of Acacia, the taste of the world itself. Capable of hearing the Ingredients, he was able to cook the divine.
"I hope Nono gets back soon" says Komatsu
In the Changed World, he ended up with Three Wives during the Valentine Event.
The beautiful knife sharpener Melk the Second. She is adopted daughter and apprentice of the famous knife sharpener, Melk the First and eventually succeeded his position and title after his retirement. She created Komatsu's Derous Knife made famous by his adventures from the fang of a powerful species of dragon. In the Changed World, she works at the Guild Stores working on exotic blades made from wood, creatures and metals from a thousand worlds. She also forgets to eat on occasion with her work load, so het co-wife has to deliver.
"The Soup is Ready."
Roar of approval from the patrons.
Gourmet Living Legend Setsuno's assistant Nono. Though she acted as Setsuno's assistant chef, she was chosen to be her successor for the next generation. Since Setsuno's departure to Gourmet World, Nono was the head chef of the Setsuno Dining Hall. She is a true chef at heart and admires those with love and skill for cooking. She is often quick to recognize it. She managed to not faint when she woke up next to Komatsu and two other girls.
"Charlotte-chan, I'm running low on Strawberrice for the Desert order!"
"No Problem, Darling" says a young woman with pink eyes, dark skin, and long pink hair
The last girl is a young woman with purple eyes, tan skin, and long bright pink hair. She was a professional chef before Halloween '97, known as the "Copy Chef". With her excellent sense of smell and taste, she could determine the majority of ingredients in another chef's soup and replicate the taste. On Halloween, she dyed her hair pink and dressed as a Witch for Halloween
She became Magical girl - Copy Chef Charlotte Jinn. While the dark-haired Melk II can make legendary blades with materials from the Adventurer Guild and green-haired Nono is a proper heir to Setsuna, pink-haired Charlotte is the main supplier of ingredients for the Restaurant.
Charlotte places her latex gloved hand above two bowls. One bowl is empty, while the other is filled with flour. Both hands glow a faint pink and the flour is pulled towards one of her hands, vanishing before it can hit. Just below the other hand, tiny strawberries the size of rice fall from the glow into the other bowl.
"I'll be done in a minute"
Charlotte Jinn possesses the special ability to recreate any food she remembers or even the ingredients the food, as long as she has the equivalent mass is sacrificed. This means if she's eaten a warm apple pie, she can recreate the pie or the apples and other ingredients as long as she sacrifices the needed mass. Marrying Komatsu unlocked a new ability, she now re-create anything her husband and co-wives remember.
She proved to one the greatest resources of Central City during the early days.
The reserves of emergency food quickly ran out due to the appetite of the changed humanity. Plant manipulators gathered to accelerate the growth of crops in green houses and warehouses, protected from the Red Sky's fire and poison. Skilled warriors hunted monsters, but many creatures are poisonous due to the level of magical crystals in there bodies. Alchemists and Magic users transmuted raw matter into food. Even Scientists created machines to create artificial food. Wonderful tasting food is more precious than gold and diamonds.
Naruto Ōtsutsuki is on his 7th bowl of Ramen. He notices several other adventurers who are eating even more than him. There are photos of many Adventurers on the wall with name plates. Amongst the Uzumakis, Namikaze, Senjus, and Ōtsutsuki, there are many interesting ones.
A slender, well-endowed woman with dark skin, golden irises, and black hair. Yoruichi Shihōin - Former Shinigami Captain and former commander of the Onmitsukidō (Stealth Force).
A slim, curvaceous young woman with long light pink hair and brown eyes. Jewelry Bonney - Big Eater and Pirate Captain
"Saiyan Meat Special 2 for Table 6"
A cute woman with vermilion red hair and ocean blue eyes, dressed in a red cheongsam with yellow piping. Sitting next to her is a man with green/gray dead fish eyes and messy silvery-blue hair. Kagura of the Yato Tribe. Gintoki Sakata, Shiroyasha (Silver Demon)
A young woman with blue eyes, dark skin and white hair tied in a braid with a large, gold ring, as well as a yellow headband which covers her forehead. She also has long pointed feline ears and fangs. Aisha Clanclan of the Ctarl-Ctarl, Bounty Hunter and Fire Cat
"Digger's Tuna Special for Table 5"
ROAR!
"Fried Ricer!"
Everyone pauses and turns to see a strange sight. Two creatures are fighting outside the Restaurant. What makes it strange is they seem to be food related beings.
One resembles a large dark purple crustacean emitting a ominous miasma and wearing a seven liter pot as shell like a hermit crab. It roars at it's opening releasing jets of boiling brown water and slashing with it's razor sharp claws.
It's opponent is humanoid being resembling a Chinese martial artist only he wields two giant spoons and his head is plate of Fried Rice with eyes and lobster. The martial artists in the Restaurant notice his Kung Fu is exceptional, especially for a magically animated side dish.
Fried Ricer finally claims victory against the Seafood Special from Hell, piercing the pot with the spoons. The Seafood Special struggles releasing spurts of brown watery liquid, before collapsing. The dark purple crustacean turns a pale lavender before crumbling to mush and once stainless pot crumbles to rust.
"Kaneda Tendo!" says a tall muscular man with spiky red and gold hair, and dressed in a street cook uniform, "Your never cooking again! I thought you mother Akane was bad!"
In the Changed World, transportation between colonies is always dangerous. There is always a danger of the Red Sky releasing one of it's horrors, consuming any unprotected traveler. The two solutions created by the colonists are heavily armored buses and the famous Dragon Trains.
Dragon Trains are armored locomotives built using a combination of science and magic. The special alloy used to create the tracks and armor is immune to the burning rain and the corrosive green rain. The alloy is hydrophobic preventing even normal water from clinging to it and ice does not stay on it's surface. Like the scales of an ancient dragon, the plates of the Dragon Train are stronger than most metals like tungsten and titanium, but supernaturally lighter. Not even strikes of actual ancient dragon and immense sand worms could damage the track.
The engineers that placed the train tracks were protected by small armies of adventurers. It was like the endless number of pumpkin-headed plant monsters, masked ghosts, demon beasts, and walking dead could sense the construction of the railways would deny them prey. The battles were brutal to the point that one in ten died, placing every meter of the track.
These days, the Dragon Trains can even afford luxuries and Adventurers often ride them to get to new locations.
Dragon Train Fafnir
Nov 13, 2019
All of the Dragon Trains are named after Dragons of myth, legend, and media.
In Norse mythology, Fáfnir was a son of the dwarf king Hreidmar and brother of Regin, Ótr, Lyngheiðr and Lofnheiðr. After being affected by the curse of Andvari's ring and gold, Fafnir became a dragon and was slain by Sigurd.
In the Changed World, those myths and legend have taken lives of there own. This is a world with many dragons and those of dragon blood. There are even several travelling on the Train itself connected to the namesake.
One is young man with ruby eyes and messy brown hair, dressed in a black waistcoat, white shirt, black slacks, and a pair of black leather penny loafers.
His name Sieg Arc. In his world, he was a Homunculus created by Yggdmillennia - a unique family of magi that takes in various bloodlines. He was originally one of many used to supply energy for servants, but he gained his independence. In time, he gained emotions of his own, becoming a master of Servants (Heroic Spirits incarnated into lesser forms), and feel in love with Ruler-class Servant Jeanne d'Arc, the Saint of Orleans.
Within his chest beats the heart of the Hero Siegfried (a form of Sigurd), the Dragon-Blooded Knight and the "Dragon Slayer" who defeated the evil dragon Fafnir with the holy sword Balmung in hand. The Heart of a Dragon combined with power granted by Frankenstein's Monster (female in this universe) allowed him to use the Balmung against a man who would take away humanity's choice.
The last memories he had before awakening in Jeanne's arms, was meeting Jeanne as a spirit in the The Reverse Side of the World, the layer of the World that retains the laws of the Age of Gods, housing surviving Phantasmal Species and presumably Divine Spirits instead of people. It was where the world of magic retreated when the era of logic began in his world.
"Yes, I do see the strangeness of riding a Train named after a Dragon with the Heart of the Dragonslayer that killed the namesake." says Seig, holding a picture of his wife Jeanne and there children (not all of them Valentine Kids), "What about you, Azazel?"
Azazel is a tall man appearing to be in his twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs and black goatee.
Azazel is the former Governor General of the Fallen Angels in his world. He also previously served as a Chemistry Teacher at Kuoh Academy and as the adviser of the Occult Research Club, which contained his world's most interesting "Hero" - Red Dragon Emperor and Oppai Dragon Issei Hyoudou who he acted as a mentor to.
"I've encountered a few fafnir-related characters including a monster girl and a mecha pilot" comments Azazel as he holds up a orb, which flashes, "Fafnir?"
What's Interesting and related to his current situation, is Azazel managed to create his own Sacred Gear (deus ex machina of his world), the Down Fall Dragon Spear, using the jewel that has Fafnir, one of the five Dragon Kings sealed inside it. A deep voice emerges from the jewel.
"Apparently, Siegfried was a depressing guy in both our realities. They both died because they couldn't refuse a request, but at least your version was able to make a choice. He gave you his heart and now you have a happy life, even if it's on his hellish World."
"Jeanne and my family do make me happy."
"If I had a body like yours, I would scoring left and right. You have the looks and there are ton of hot dragon girls in this world!"
In his home world, he is Fafnir, the Golden Dragon known as the Gigantis Dragon. He's also a pervert with a panty fetish.
ROAR!
Sieg and Azazel both turn as they hear a thunderous roar, they both recognize the sound. It's the roar of very large, very angry dragon.
"The Rail Hunter Dragon?"
"Passengers, do not be alarmed. A Central City Adventurer Team has engaged a Type-4 Draconic Monster. They are confidence in there success, but Help will be accepted. " comes the PA system, "The Train is secure and will be leaving the danger zone in three minutes."
Sieg and Azazel look at each other.
"My wife is going kill me."
Battlefield near the Dragon Train Rails.
Team 9
A sixty foot Western Dragon roars at it's attackers, those who would dare deny it prey. It's entire body from arrow-shaped head to it's long tail is covered in black metallic scales. It has sharp horns, sharp fangs, and four glowing red eyes. It has claws sharper than obsidian at the end of it's muscular limbs, ragged spines going from head to tail tip, and a pair of massive wings that cast shadows over the field of battle.
The Rail Hunter Dragon is an extremely dangerous dragon that has been causing problems for the colonies. This breed of Fantasy dragon's scale type is determined by the materials it devours. It's parent was a Black Meteor Thunder Dragon because it devoured meteoric iron as a hatchling.
"This dragon somehow devoured Rail Alloy!" yells a young woman standing 158 cm (five-foot-two) with blue eyes and short dark blue hair. She's dressed in blue/black armor with a blue visored helmet. She's insanely fast avoiding the flying debris while launching spherical blue energy blasts.
"Mercury Fall!"
Every time the baseball-size spheres strike, there is an explosion of ice and cold, but it doesn't seem to doing much damage against the pure black scales.
"Which means?" says a very tall woman standing over 213 cm (seven foot) with green eyes and long black hair tied in ponytail by a green band. Her muscular athletic form is dressed in black and green armor with gold pauldrons and circlet. She rams her glowing green fist into the ground
"Dragon Geyser!"
A glowing green attack resembling an Eastern Dragon explodes from the ground underneath the Rail Hunter Dragon and knocks it into the air. As it does lightning crackles across it's form arcing off it's wings into the ground. The dragon then crashes back to the ground, creating a creator and a lot of dust. The evil dragon just rises to it's feet again.
"We are in serious trouble!" says the first girl, jumping and rolling over the tail strike that could have cut her in half!
"Damn it! Why won't this thing fall!?" yells the girl as she blinds the creature with quick energy attacks. It's shattered eyes begin to regenerate, but at least she can damage them. The evil dragon's black scales are still shiny and flawless
"Calm down, Moriko! We don't need you going Berserk!"
"I Am Calm, Mizuna! I'm just Hungry and Missing Mom's Lunch!"
"Stop calling me that!" she hates being called mustard greens.
"Concentrate on the fight, girls." says the third member of CCA Team 9
"Your one to talk, Playboy" whispers Mizuna
He's a slim, yet muscular, long-legged man with light brown hair which he keeps brushed over one side of his face. Among the man's physical traits are his distinctive eyebrows, which form different spirals. He raises his right hand and the interspacial ring on his finger glows. In a burst of light, a red/brown container appears on the ground in front of him. He then does a spin kick that shatters a large rock sent his way by the dragon's tail
"What are you doing with that stuff, Charley?" asks Moriko.
Charles' Third Eye opens, glowing with an inner light, while Charles' leg glows with brilliant flame.
"Diable Jambe: Drive!"
Charles kicks the container and shoot like meteor, spinning in the air and release streams of smoke and sparks as it streaks towards it target. It rockets inside the mouth of the roaring dragon, then explodes into red-brown powder. The dragon stops roaring and begins coughing, it soon has serious problems breathing.
"Pepper? Cooking Spices!?" says Moriko with her heightened sense of smell
"Brilliant" says her sister, "It may be nigh invulnerable but it still needs to breathe."
"Sunnydale Scorpion Peppers. Even the most gluttonous Saiyan can't handle them."
The struggling dragon whips it's tail around and it's about to hit the girls, when someone grabs the armored length of muscle and bone.
"Where have you been, Griffin!?" yells Moriko
"That tail strike knocked me out. I guess I was careless" says the calm man.
Griffin is tall man standing 188 cm (6'2) with red eyes, tan skin, and straight black hair which is tied back. He wears a close fitting black body suit which shows his impressive muscles and surprisingly flexible dark purple armour. He also wears a pendant around his next resemble a gourd. He's actually drinking from a Gourd even while holding the Dragon's tail. The dragon still can't shake the man despite the immense difference in mass.
"Or maybe your Drunk."
"You known about my Alcohol Empowerment."
"But you don't need to be powered up, 24-7"
Similar to his father, he gets stronger and more powerful both physically and magically the more alcohol he consumes. He already possessed high alcohol tolerance inherited from his parents and his ability raises that tolerance to the point of near immunity. He usually drinks stuff that would kill normal humans and often used as fuel for some machines.
"Woah!" yells Griffin as Dragon flaps it's absolutely immense wings and tries to take flight, "Your not getting away, lizard. Seismic Palm!"
The Evil Dragon screeches at him in anger, only for Griffin to strike the tail with the magically charged palm of his hand. The tail shakes from the force of the impact, then it seems to swell. The Rail Hunter Dragon cries out in pain as the tip of it's tail is torn off, soaking the ground in florescent green liquid.
The Rail Hunter Dragon continues it's attempt to escape it's tormentors, evening risk the dangers of the Red Sky. Only for sharp hooks and chains composed of shadows to tear into the delicate membranes of the wings, and pull it back towards the ground.
Most Western Dragons possess powerful wings but the majority of them use magic to reduce weight and drag, but they still need there wings to channel the magic not matter how large or how small.
Three more figures rise from the ground, the final members of Team 9. Unlike those in more armoured uniforms, all three women are dressed in form fitting black bodysuits with hooded cloaks.
"The Caravan is secure. There being loaded onto the Dragon Train." Reports the first one to Griffin, as the wind pulls her hood back.
She is a beautiful woman with glowing neon green eyes and long flowing white hair styled with two braids. She's gathers swirling green liquid in her hand, she then moves her arms releasing glowing blades that pass threw the Dragon's torso. It doesn't cause damage to the scales, but the dragon acts like it's hurt. The Dragon's regenerating tail whips at her, but it passes threw eye without causing any form of damage or reaction.
The second beautiful woman has glowing purple eyes, gray skin, and flowing black hair. She also has a red diamond over her (third eye/ajna chakra) and gold earrings. She chants strange words as her shadow darkens and extends into dozens of black hands. These shadowy arms restrain the dragon's movements before the hands bypass the scales and phase into the dragon's body. A petrified tree is sent flying at her only for black chains to redirect the flying object.
The third beauty, this one of Chinese instead of European descent, has glowing red eyes, blue-gray skin, and shoulder length black hair. She also has sharp canine teeth, pointed ears, and a single curved horn that marks her as a demon. She is clearly the one controlling the black chains holding the dragon.
As she concentrates humanoids rise from the ground holding the chains. They are female warriors dressed like assassins with there masks reveal the same blue-gray skin and red eyes. There lower bodies are dark mist, while there upper bodies are covered in hooded cloaks.
The Rail Hunter Dragon roars in rage and pain, going into a frenzy. The hooks tear out of the damaged wings and the chains holding it begin to break, fading into vanishing black mist. Angela's black hands are also forced out and stretch like rubber as the dragon struggles against them.
The group watches in mild shock as the wing membranes begin to rapidly heal.
"We are damaging it by bypassing it's scales, but the damage is healing too quickly." says the first one
"That's obvious, Ida." says the second, as the darkness swirls around her, "Dragon regeneration is OP. What do we do!?"
"Don't get stressed, Angela." replies Mizuna, as the Dragon's four eyes become glowing icicles. Once more blinded, it stops it's attempts to fly to heal.
"I think the solution just arrived." says the oni girl, glowing rings of fire and vaguely Chinese/Japanese symbols circling her hands
"I believe you are right, Daiyu" says Angela
Sieg and Azazel have arrived. Sieg is holding Balmung, the Phantasmal Greatsword that killed Fafnir. Azazel is now dressed in golden dragon armour holding an impressive spear.
Daiyu's spells quickly confirm what she initially sensed.
"Dragon slayer magic." says Daiyu, "I have a plan."
"Now I'm Worried" comments Griffin.
"No comments from the Drunk Section."
Daiyu places her finger tip against her horn causing it to glow red briefly, then she snaps her fingers. The eyes of the adventurers flash red as information fills there minds.
The Rail Hunter Dragon roars and takes flight, while it's wings are still healing and half-blinded. It was at this place to hunt and fed, not to be hunted and killed by small predators. It flies straight up into the dangers of the Red Sky
"Jupiter Dragon Geyser!"
Moriko Kino's glowing fist strikes the ground and a pillar of plasma explodes from the ground, launching a glowing Griffin into the sky.
Griffin Groh glows his an aura of magic as he lands on top of flying spectre created by Daiyu Phantom, still clinging by an attached chain. He uses the Spectre as launch pad, dispersing it in the process, to reach the velocity needed to catch the escaping dragon. His glowing form flies past the rising dragon
Griffin claps his two hands together, as if praying. Then he turns downward towards the startled dragon and begins to fall back down. As Griffin falls, he glows brightly and the dragon is pushed towards the ground by pressure. Griffin points one hand at the Dragon, a single open palm.
"Buddha's Palm"
The Dragon roars as an unseen force smashes it back into the land below. It's body is pushed deep into the dry dead earth and stone by the force. From the sky there is now an immense hand print in the ground with the barely conscious black metal dragon in the centre.
The Dragon rises to it's feet, it's body steaming as flesh beneath the impenetrable black scales and covering the unbreakable black bones regenerates. It's fluorescent vital fluids flowing back in place and make grotesque sounds.
Charles Vinsmoke moves with amazing speed summoning a scroll from his Interspatial ring. He lands within feet of the dragon, his foot on the open sealing scroll. The dragon lunges at the acrobatic chef, only for the Charles to yell out an attack
"Diable Jambe: Anneau de flamme"
Charles does a flaming backflip that kicks the Dragon in the jaw, snapping the neck back. The flames also burn the scroll, releasing it's contents. Thousands of gallons of purified water that explode with enough force to cut stone.
"Mercury Grand Fall!"
Mizuna dances on the battlefield as ice blue magic gathers around her, then she throws a basketball size blue/black sphere of magic like a bowling ball into the explosion of water. The explosion of water is instantly frozen into iceberg that traps the majority of the dragon's body in super cold ice. The Dragon's regeneration slows to a crawl with the intense cold.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"
Angela Phantom's black shadowy hands explode from her aura of darkness. Each one moving faster than a human eye can perceive, but the dragon sees it's doom coming. The shadowy handles strike the dragon bypassing the scales as if the hands of ghost or demon. The attack renders the dragon unable to prove, it's nervous system torn to shreds in the blink of an eye.
Azazel doesn't join in the "calling out your attacks" phenomenon, instead he launches his spear which easily pierces one of the four eyes of the immobile dragon. The spear is stopped by the metallic dragon skull, but it's in deep.
Moriko gathers her energy which resonates with Sieg's Galvanism ability. Lightning crackles back and forth between the two.
Sieg twists his sword's handle and the glowing blade emits a beam of fiery blue energy into sky. The magic is intense and visible, shaking the bones of the Adcenturers. The sound is like thunder as a wind blows from the pressure of the blade. As the blade begins to move the aura of magic intensifies.
"The Evil Dragon will fall, and the world will now reach the twilight."
"Fall ― Balmung! "
The brilliant blue-white fiery magic twists in the air and strikes the impaled head of the dragon. The Noble Phantasm's destructive power is channeled into the Rail Hunter Dragon. The power incinerates the heat-resistant flesh of the dragon, causing vital fluids to boil, and organs capable of generating vast amounts of magic to rupture. Unlike the other attacks, this one carries the magic of a Dragon slayer, the anathema of it's existence, preventing regeneration.
The Adventurers watch as the massive dragon's body deforms as the flesh beneath it's scales is destroyed, then as jets of steam and light escape weakening areas. The dragon prove durable enough to withstand five seconds of the attack, before it finally explodes.
There is a loud growling and everyone turns to see Moriko panting and holding her stomach.
"Channeling big attacks is so draining... I forgot how strong you old timers can be."
Sieg drops at being calling old. He's already a grandpa and he's happy with his loving family, but he still doesn't like being reminded of how old he is. At least he doesn't look his age.
Louder growl.
"I'm so hungry.."
"Don't worry, Chere." replies Charles, "I'm sure I can make you something back at the Train."
"How much do you think we will get for the Rail Hunter Dragon?" asks Griffin taking a deep drink from his gourd.
"It has 186 confirmed sentient kills, not including the damage of equipment and loss of livestock." say Daiyu, "The real money comes from the scales and bones. Not only are dragon parts valuable, but the Dragon Rail metal is unique and expensive. It makes it twenty times more valuable."
"I have the Rings and Scrolls." says Charles pulling out said items from his Ring.
Dragon Train Fafnir
Interspacial Rings and Sealing Scrolls are some of the best storage devices. They allow people to carry many items in a subspace pocket dimension, much like a video game inventory. The only problem about them is you need to have at least some talent in Magic, Qi or Aura manipulation to use them. Also if the object is destroyed, the items are either lost forever or explosively returned to normal space in the general area. You can also store empty rings and full scrolls, but you can't store an active ring inside another active ring without things getting "messy".
These are thoughts going threw an observer as Team 9 reveals there names and back stories to Seig and Azazel.
"My name is Moriko Kino, this is my half-sister Aoi, but I call her Mizuno. My mother is Makoto Kino, Sailor Jupiter, while hers in Ami Mizuno, Sailor Mercury. Our father is the saiyan warrior Broly."
The Sailor Senshi are an iconic group of magical girls from Japan. They are magically connected to planetary bodies and draw power to magical warriors of love and justice. The reincarnated princesses of the solar system fought against various evil forces that sought to consume the people of Earth. Monsters seeking life energy, souls, dreams, and other precious things.
Unfortunately, the Changed World left them near powerless as there were now many connected to the same planets and the chaos magic damaged there ability to transform. They were rescued by Broly and eventually they learned new forms of magic to compensate.
Broly was born a mutant saiyan on the planet Vegita, born with an abnormally high level of power. King Vegeta worried that Broly would be threat to him and his legacy, exiled the boy to Planet Vampa. His father Paragus found his son, but was also stranded due to damage to the ship. Years later, Broly would be forced to fight the last Saiyans by his father and tyrant Freiza. First Prince Vegeta and Goku, then the divine fusion Gogeta, only to be saved by friend Cheelai returning him to Vampa.
In the Changed World, he found many monsters to fight and people to protect. The Changed World's contaminated Qi made it so he couldn't simply ram up to legendary super saiyan, so fights were actually challenging. He stayed close to the girls, as Ami taught him many things and Makoto made him delicious food. After Valentine Event, he found himself experiencing many new things.
"We found Cheelai a few months after the Valentine. Apparently the guy she was with abandoned her. So, Dad married her too and we have a green-skinned brother, but he mostly helps Mama Makoto at the Restaurant." rambles Aoi
Sanji comes from a world of Pirates, strange sea creatures, and cursed fruits that grant superpowers. Sanji Vinsmoke was the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, as well as the former sous chef of the Baratie, owned by his teacher former pirate Red-Leg Zeff. He is also the third son and fourth child of the infamous Vinsmoke Family (former dynastic conquerors and rulers of North Blue) , thus making him a prince of the Germa Kingdom.
In the Changed World, he continues to be one of the best chefs in the world competing with many supernaturally skilled masters of food, dealing with food that can heal injuries old and new, enhance the body and spirit, or even overwhelm them with a Foodgasm.
Charlotte Pudding is the 35th daughter and the 76th child of the Charlotte Family, an officer of the Big Mom Pirates, and a hybrid between a human and a member of the Three-Eye Tribe. The last point being a source of much pain and sadness in her childhood, and the reason she developed amazing acting skills to hide her true feelings. She was once Sanji's arranged fiancée, per the political agreement between their families (which was actually an assassination), but didn't expect to fall in love with him.
In the Changed World, she continued to be a chef. She worked as a chocolatier and the owner of cafe "Caramel" on Cacao Island, now she owns Caramel Café in Central City. A very popular place for the sweet-loving adventurers. She married Sanji months before the Valentine Event, so her getting pregnant by her husband during the Event wasn't as much a shock as it was to others.
"I've got Dad's skills, but I don't want to settle down as a Chef just yet." says Charles, "I've got Dad's Style and Haki, and I've learned other styles like taekwondo, karate, and especially capoeira from Master Elena. She is a great teacher "
"It doesn't hurt she's six foot East African goddess of a woman." Smirks Griffin.
Bacchus Groh and Cana Alberona come from the magical world of Earthland, where ten percent of the world's population can use magic. After many conflicts, this resulted in the wizards of the county of Fiore and other countries forming into Guilds of Wizards.
Bacchus Groh is an S-Class Mage of the Quatro Cerberus Guild. Bacchus' fighting style revolves around his mastery of the martial art Chop Hanging Palm, which is focussed around the use of palm strikes imbued with Magic Power through his Magic. Bacchus' personality revolves around drunkenness, tho he is also competitive and has a sense of honour
Cana Alberona is a member of the (in)famous Fairy Tail Guild and a potential S-Class Mage. As a very young girl, Cana came to Fairy Tail after the death of her mother to find her father, Gildarts Clive, one of Fairy Tail's S-Class Mages. She is a heavy drinker, but hardly ever gets drunk, no matter how much she drinks. This led to drinking contests with Bacchus.
Bacchus and Cana were having a drinking contest when the Valentine Event occurred. That is how Griffin Groh was conceived.
"Mom didn't drink a drop during her pregnancy." says Griffin, "Not like it would have hurt me, but she makes me proud."
"What about your dad?"
"When he learned he was going in be a dad, he drank Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster until he passed out. He woke up with headache and speaking Chinese." says Griffin, drinking from his gourd, "He didn't speak Chinese until after that night."
The Phantom Sisters - Ida, Angela, and Daiyu - are the last to do the back story.
"Dad was just 14, when his parents build a strange machine, designed to see the world unseen."
"When it didn't quite work, his parents they just quit, but then Dad took a look inside of it"
"There was a great big flash, everything just changed, his molecules got all rearranged"
Danny Fenton got caught in the activation of his paranormal investigator parents' Ghost Portal, designed to access a dimension of ectoplasm where ghosts and ghost like beings existed. Danny was fused with charged ectoplasm on a molecular level, granting him the power to transformed into white haired green eyed ghost version of himself with many powers. He fought against various ghosts raging from weaklings like the Box Ghost to Ghost King Pariah Dark, his nemesis Vlad Plasmius, and the terrifying evil future form of Dan Phantom.
Ida's mom is Danny's long time friend Samantha "Sam" Manson. .She is a self-proclaimed goth who is fascinated with the occult and paranormal, and is a very outspoken ultra-recyclo-vegetarian (she doesn't eat anything with a face). Ida, named after the Grandmother that supported her Sam when she was dealing with super-optimistic socialite parents, doesn't share the Vegan life.
"I love meat. I'm an Adventurer that follows the rule - If it Tries To Eat You, You Can Eat It!"
Ida gathers green ectoplasm in her palm.
"I have Ghost powers like Dad, even an Ice Core like Dad."
Angela's mother is Raven, also known as Rachel Roth, the half-demon prophesied daughter of Trigon, a powerful demon lord existing in the Azarath dimension. Angela's mother is a version of Raven that was a part of a group of young heroes called the Titans, fighting against criminals and super villains. They had many wild adventurers and Raven finally killed Trigon and ending his hold on her
"Mom has this cool soul self that resembles a Raven silhouette! I create these shadow ghost hands I've been getting training from a Diclonus Girl back in Central. Her psychokinetic Vectors are very similar to my Shadow Hands"
"At least you stopped calling them Dark Hands."
"Mama-Jade eyes kept lighting up, so I decided to re-brand."
Daiyu's mother is Chan Yu, better known in America as Jade Chan. She is the niece of the martial artist and archeologist Jackie Chan who came to America from Hong Kong because she was having trouble. Jackie Chan was pulled into the fight against criminals seeking supernatural relics and Jade gladly got herself involved.
Daiyu's Mom was a Dark Jade born after what they thought was there final battle. After the Dragon Shendu and his power mad son Drago were sealed in the Demon Netherworld, permanently removing the Magic Talismans - 12 power granting talismans named after the Chinese Zodiac that had started there adventures. Instead a sorcerer attempted to steal the powers of Oni King Terakudo, who was sealed into a Mask with his Generals and his armies of shadow demons - the Shadowkahn. Instead, Jade was permanently transformed into an Oni, the Dark Queen of her own army of Kunoichi Shadowkahn wielding kusari-gama.
"All Oni under Terakudo could make Shadowkahn. When Mom became one, she ended up with gender bent versions of the average ones armed with chain-sickles. My versions are a mix of those combined with ghosts. I call them Spectre Shadowkahn."
"Very creative."
"Oh shut up, Sis."
Griffin Groh sits down next to a woman in the mostly empty dining car. Pre-Halloween Event dining cars would have larger windows so the people dining could enjoy the scenary. The Dragon trains don't have real windows, instead they are screens that display what's outside the train. The outside is covered in metal plates at all times.
The woman is a tall dignified woman with dark brown eyes, light skin, and straight glossy black hair. She also has pointed ears and upswept eyebrows that mark her as Vulcan. She's wearing a white shirt, black pants, and boots with a fancy looking red/black coat. She also wears a hat and carries a decorated gold pocket watch.
"You are Doctor Lin?"
"Yes. Do you have the Requested Item?"
Griffin pulls out a black ring, puts it on, then whispers into it. He then places his hand above the table and a small black box appears. The matte black box is cube 20 x 20 x 20 cm (7.8) with red circles and Eastern looking symbols. Griffin traces a symbol on one the circles and it opens up to reveal crimson crystal orb.
Doctor Lin pulls out metallic ornate rod with light emitting crystal on the tip. It makes a humming sound as she goes over the red stone.
"Sonic Screwdriver?
"Correct." says Lin coldly
"So you're a daughter of The Doctor? Or should I say The Doctors?"
"The Doctor" is the main alias used by a mysterious renegade Time Lord from the Planet Gallifrey, who travelled through time and space with various companions in their obsolete and "borrowed" TARDIS. After the last Time War, where the Time Lords fought the omnicidal Daleks, he was thought to be the last. What makes Time Lords so unique is they possess multiple lives. After each death/near death, they resurrect as a new person. The Doctor has been more than dozen people and Halloween Event created over a Hundred Time Lords (and Ladies) who call themselves The Doctor.
"My mother was some one he saved and then Valentine Event occurred."
Beep.
"Confirmation. This is the correct item."
"So the Payment?"
She gives him a sealing scroll.
"Saurian Brandy, Cardassian Kanar, Aldeberan Whiskey, Klingon Bloodwine, and Romulan Ale" says Doctor Lin, "You have a very impressive collection of liqueur. Is it true you actually gain power from alcoholic beverages beyond strength?"
"It's happened a few times. Miruvor is this fancy elf flower wine that can heal a person. Ever since I drank a bottle I heal faster. I drank a bottle of Fire Whiskey that was made in Scotland, next to that Hogwarts place. Now I can pull off a fire ball that would make Uncle Natsu proud. Nord Mead boosted my stamina, but it took hours to get the minty sweet taste out of my mouth."
"Why did you also ask for Altair Water?"
"Bottled water is very valuable. Pre-HE you had a lot of people willing to pay a lot for bottled water. After the HE, the people of post-apocalypse made water more valuable then petroleum. If people are willing to pay big for water from some northern glacier, how much do you think they will pay for water from 17 light years from Earth?"
"16.73."
"Huh?"
"Altair is 16.73 light years from Earth."
"I'll remember that." says Griffin, "Can I buy you something? Slusho? Raktajino?"
"No thank you."
"Where were you, Griffin?" asks Charles, serving some form of sweet dish to his Adventurer Party and two new friends.
"Talking about Alcohol to a friend."
"You would be the expert." says Moriko Kino. "Didn't you spend that Goblin paycheck on Whiskey?
"80 year old MacCutcheon"
"Is it true you once drank Moloko Plus?" asks Sieg as he enjoys his dessert.
"I love drink new and strange, but I'm not that stupid. If I want to hallucinate, I'll drink the Elven Moonshine."
Jade Forest - Dragon Train Station
November 16, 2019
Dragon Train Fafnir has arrived at the Station.
Jade Forest is the name given to a colony to the South of Central City. From the outside it resembles a small fortified town with thick walls to keep out monsters, guard towers to kill the more aggressive ones, and many dome structures to protect against what falls from the Red Sky.
The majority of Jade Forest is an underground facility filled by plants being grown by water and artificial light sources. There are many farms that grow food crops and medicinal plants tended to by farmers, plant elementals, and elves of various types. There are also greenhouses where the experimental plants are grown.
A man and woman are pushing a wheeled cart containing carefully wrapped tree saplings. The cart must have weighed over a five hundred pounds, but the man pushes it with extreme ease.
The man is two meters tall (6'7) with a very muscular build and thick arms. He has short dark brown hair, dark skin, and blue eyes. He's wearing a light blue shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and gray shoes
"Tuck in your shirt!"
The woman is also two meters tall with athletic build and large breasts. She has long bright orange hair hanging to the left side, pale white skin, and dark green eyes. She wears a light-green shirt with a dark green belt wrapped around it, a pair of brown pants, and grayish boots
"Why did I marry you?" says the man in teasing mode.
"I was the only woman left in world of big-nosed villagers, giant spiders, and undead. I was also willing to fight along side you, even if it into the depths of the Netherworld or the End Dimension. Also, after we killed the Dragon and looted the End City, we spent an entire day in the bedroom."
"It was a Rhetorical Question. I known why I married someone as wonderful as you." Says the Man, "Do you remember why the scientists said we couldn't put the saplings in out Inventory?"
"For some reason, while our Inventory can hold sapling and pots, it can't hold saplings in pots. They were worried we would damage the root system."
Two people greet the couple. One is tall lean man with blue eyes and long golden hair tied back in a ponytail. His pointed ears reveal him to be a Half-Elf and he's dressed in dark green protective clothing with a mask over his face. The other is an attractive woman with dark green eyes, dark brown skin, and thick dark green grass for hair. Her skin is covered in protective wood armour and tree branches extended from her head like antlers, which means she a plant elemental or shaman.
"You are Steve Stone and Alexandra "Alex" Stone (nee Wood), the Minecrafters?"
"And Your Cordover and Dalleira?"
Steve and Alex don't remember there lives before they appeared in the strange world of the Builders. A mysterious, dangerous world whose nights were dominated by giant spiders and armies of the walking dead. Fortunately they had been gifted with the power to manipulate the world and build items like the ancient magical builders, whose ruins can found throughout the land.
Studying the Ruins and communicating with the native people - the villagers, they managed to piece the history together. The Ancient Builders studied strange phenomenon and eventually opened a portal to Netherworld in the search of greater knowledge. They unlocked the secrets of magic, but in there arrogance tried to resurrect the dead using blackened bones of netherworld and Soul-Eating Sand. Instead they created an abomination that began the decline of the Builder civilization.
Steve and Alex eventually found the Stronghold, the underground complex created as the Builder last hope. Inside was a Portal that lead to a desolate barren dimension ruled by a black dragon. Steve and Alex barely survived and slew the dragon, opening a portal back to the Overworld.
Steve and Alex cycled many times, fighting different monsters from new random mobs and horrific Boss monsters that determined the fate of a world. They eventually encountered other lost people -known as Mincrafters for the perchance to mining and crafting the world around them. Over ten million people fighting for the same cause, each in there own way.
When Steve and Alex awoke in the Changed World, they were barely effected. It was just another world to explore, conquer, and craft in. After several years and Alex giving birth to there son - Robert "Bob" Stone, they have settled down in this Final World.
"We heard learned about you when an Adventurer brought in one of your Apples" says Cordover looking excited like an eccentric/mad scientist.
"Do you have one of those Golden Apples?" asks the Dryad Dalleira
Steve pulls out a two apples - one apple is simply the colour of Gold and the other one is glowing with magic. "Normal and Enchanted"
"You can make these with normal apples and gold? What about Magic Apples?"
"I can make them from Normal, even those grown using a supernatural power, but those Apples that already have a magical trait don't work."
"Fascinating. It could, be a difference between raw magical growth and inherit magical trait." says Cordover as he starts running calculations.
"So what did we just deliver?" asks Alex.
"Oh! White Magic Apples, a new hybrid of apple trees. It was made by mixing, and Avalonian Apples and Nart Golden Tree Apples"
"Never heard of those and I'm friends with Applejack Apple and her family."
"Wonderful Family!" half-yells Cordovor, "So wonderful to talk to. Family is a mix of human, pastel magic ponies, and in between anthos."
"Getting back on topic." says Dalleira, "Avalonian Apples are a special healing bred that only grow on the Island of Avalon and the Gardens owned by Pendragon Royal Family. Avalon literally means the "Island of Apples". We received samples from Adventurers Alturia Pendragon."
"And the Nart Apples?"
"They come from a legend of the Nart People that lived in North Caucasus, between the Black and Caspian Seas. It's a golden tree, whose apples mature in day. These half white apples also have a special ability, if an infertile woman eats one they will have a child, but the child's hair will be snow white."
"How did you manage to find one?"
"There was an old Russian woman who owned a greenhouse in Sunnyside Colony."
"So that is why all the kids in that town look like Witcher Geralt's family?"
Geralt of Rivia is a white haired Adventurer of some fame. In his world, he was one of a few travelling monster hunters who have supernatural powers, known as Witchers. The rituals and potions used to grant them special abilities turn there hair white In the Changed World, he has many children despite the Witcher process causing sterility.
"So, is the payment ready?" asks Steve
Cordovor pulls a scroll from his Ring's inventory and hands it to Steve. "10000 Health and Mana Potions - High Quality. He also included 50 kilos of cultivation spirit grass for qi and aura users."
As Steve and Alex leave, they hear Griffin talking to Sieg and Charles, "Fall Joy, Gray Winter, Melon Field, Moon-set Hunter, and Peach Plum Potion."
"Your kidding me?" says Sieg in disbelief.
"Nope. Those are cocktails invented in this colony. It's easy to experiment when you have a lot of resources. The most common bases of potions are water, slime, honey, oil, blood, and alcohol."
END of Chapter 2
- More to Come
