Hello people, it's me again with another chapter for you all to either like or hate.
In this one, Matty will make his appearance, and like the other unoriginal OCs, he's based on another WoW youtuber called Big Matty. Why? Because I'm unoriginal.
Anyway, enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter Four: Matty is in the house
On the dirty road in the middle of a plain field was what looked like a Bar of sorts. It looked pretty old; however it was still filled with all kinds of people who traveled the road. People were drinking, talking, betting, and pretty much anything else you could think of.
However, the door to the building opened to reveal our heroes rushing in, and they were soaking wet.
"Dang it Moocluck! Why did we listen to you about camping in the woods?" Nixxiom questioned him as the blue armored male looked very annoyed.
"What are you talking about? It was Natsu's idea!" The red robed male responded, giving Natsu a glare.
"Hey! I didn't say we had too. You guys agreed to camp out!" The pink haired fire dragon slayer countered.
Why are they arguing about camping, and why are they wet? Well because it was currently raining and thundering outside right now. Now they are trying to put the blame on one another because their idiots.
Ragtagg, the only one who wasn't arguing, as he was too tired from running from the rain to argue back, simply headed to the bar to get something to drink. The armored person sat at one of seats at the bar. He also took off his helmet, allowing his black hair to be free, and making his face visible.
"Hello there," The bartender greeted him, "Is there anything you like?"
"Yeah, give me a good old fashion beer." The warrior told him.
"Understood, it will be right up." The bartender then left to go get his drink.
After a few minutes, the others at the front of the door ceased their arguing as they simply went to sit at one of the tables near them.
"Man, I'm hungry." Natsu told both Nixxiom and Moocluck as he grabbed a menu that was on the center of the table.
"Yeah, I hope they have something I enjoy here." Nixxiom replied to the other two as he also grabbed a menu.
"Nixxiom, I still don't understand why you even need to eat." Moocluck spoke, getting Nixxiom to look at him and getting Natsu to look confused as to what the red robed figure meant.
"What do you mean by that Moocluck?" The blue armored male questioned.
"Well because you're undea-."
"Hello," A voice called to them. They look to see a female waitress standing near their table. "Can I get you all anything to eat and drink?" She asked them in a polite tone. Seeing that they were able to get food now, they ordered what they wanted to the waitress.
As that was happening, the bartender returned to where Ragtagg was at the bar with his beer. Thanking the worker, the black haired warrior then proceeded to chugged down the drink with ease.
"Ah… haven't had a good beer like that in a while." He told himself, as he asked for another beer from the bartender.
As he ordered his drink, someone sat at the seat next to him.
"Excuse me mate," The person spoke to the bartender, getting his attention, "I would like a large beer please."
"No problem sir." The bartender replied with a smile as he went to get the drinks.
Ragtagg looked next to him to see a person who clearly didn't look like he was from around here. He had brown hair, and had a goatee with sideburns as well. He looked to be covered in leather armor, from his shoulder pads, chest, gloves, leggings, feet and was wearing a belt as well. He didn't seem to have a weapon on him. The person was also wearing a purple tabard as well.
The warrior didn't dwell on this for too long as his drink was brought to him. But then Ragtagg then noticed the other guy's drink brought to him, which was way larger than his glass. The leather wearer simply chugged the whole thing without much problem.
"Ah… that hit the spot." He told himself as he smiled with content.
"Hey bartender, I want a large beer now." Ragtagg requested while saying that a bit louder for the person next to him to hear him. It seemed to work as the other guy was now looking at Ragtagg with a simple stare.
After a few moments, the black haired male got his drink as he drank the whole think in a few seconds. Ragtagg was content with that. He could now prove that even the might Ragtagg can chug down any drink, no matter how big, or how strong it was.
"Bartender, I would like two large beers please." The brown haired leather wearer also requested, which got Ragtagg to look at him with a small glare. The person had a little smirk as he saw Ragtagg looking at him.
This caused the black haired warrior to glare at him. It was clear that a challenge was on!
Anyway, back with the other three, they were simply waiting for their meals as they discuss random things. What kind of things? Pretty much anything that came to mind. After a couple more minutes, the waitress returned with their orders.
"Here you go." She told them with a smile as she handed them their food and drinks.
"Thank you miss." Moocluck thanked her.
"Yeah thank you." Nixxiom also made sure to thank her.
"Thank you very much." Natsu thanked her as well as he smiled, However what he didn't noticed was that the waitress was now blushing a little from his smile.
"Oh, it was no problem. If you need anything, just give a holler." She told them as she walked away, with the blush still on her face.
Natsu turned to proceed to eat his food, but then noticed Moocluck and Nixxiom looking at him with deadpanned stares. Needless to say, the pink haired dragon slayer was confused.
"…What?" Natsu asked them.
"Nothing." They both spoke at the same time, as they dig into their food.
After a couple more minutes, what used to be full plates to the brink were now completely devoid of food. They were really hungry, especially when you have someone like Natsu and Nixxiom hungry.
"Ah… that hit the spot." The blue armored male stated as rubbed his now full stomach. It has been a while since they had a good meal, since for the past few days they had nothing but hunted for food since they ran out of supplies on them.
"Yeah, that was delicious." Natsu agreed with Nixxiom as he also patted his now full stomach.
"Hey… I just noticed something." Moocluck started to speak, getting the other two's attention, "Where's Ragtagg?"
That question got them to remember that they haven't seen Ragtagg since they got into the building. They looked around only to see a somewhat large crowd gathered at the bar.
"I don't know, but what's going over there?" Natsu asked them as he pointed at the bar where the other people were at. The two turned to see the large crowd at the bar as well.
"I don't know, let's see." Moocluck suggested as he got up from the table and headed to the crowd, as Natsu and Nixxiom followed the red robed male.
They managed to arrive at the crowd. They looked to see what they were all cheering and betting about, and they saw Ragtagg having some sort of drinking match with some other person. Needless to say, the three were confused as to why the warrior was doing that.
With Ragtagg, he was now downing his thirty-sixth beer as his opponent had also finish his thirty-sixth beer.
"I got to admit mate, you're pretty good." The brown haired man told the warrior, "But you won't last. I'm the best drinker around."
"We'll see about that pal!" The black haired warrior replied with fire in his eyes as he downed another drink.
"By the way," The leather wearer began to say as he chugged another beer down, "What's your name? I would like to know who I'm going to beat after all."
"HAH! You wish! However, the name's Ragtagg. What about you?" The warrior questioned as he once again drank another beer.
"I like your spirit. And the name's Matty. Nice to meet you." The now identified Matty told him as he also drank another beer.
"Uh… sirs, if you keep drinking, you're going to drink all the beer we have in stock." The bartender tried to tell them. Since where their location is, it usually takes a few days to get more stocks of beer.
"Don't worry mate, I'm sure my new pal here is about to give in anyway." Matty told him, however Ragtag simply laughed.
"Yeah right! You're the one who's going to give in buddy." Ragtagg replied with a grin, to which Matty returned with his own grin.
The bartender simply cried anime tears as he realized that they weren't going to stop.
'LATER'
"Ow… my head…" Ragtagg spoke as he woke up.
"Ugh… why do I feel like my head has been put in a blender?" Matty also began to wake up.
"About time you two woke up." They both looked up to see Moocluck, Nixxiom, and Natsu looking at them. Moocluck was the one who spoke, "You both drank so much that you all passed out on the spot." The red robbed male informed them.
"Oh." Matty spoke as he looked around. They were still in the bar, however they were less people than they were earlier.
"I have to hand it to you," Ragtagg began to speak to the leather wearer, getting his attention as the warrior went to put back his helmet on. "You were a worthy opponent."
"You too mate," Matty then turned to the other three, "And who are you three by the way?" The brown haired male asked them.
"I'm Natsu, it's nice to meet you." The fire dragon slayer greeted him.
"The name's Moocluck." The red robed figure introduced himself.
"And I'm Nixxiom." The blue armored male also greeted the leather wearer.
"Well hello there you three. My name's Matty, it's a please to meet you." The brown haired male introduced himself. "So I'm assuming you're all with together?"
"Yeah," Natsu answered him, "We're simply traveling to see places as of right now."
"Really? What a coincidence! I myself am also traveling the world to see what it has to offer." Matty replied to them.
"Then how about I make an offer," Ragtagg spoke to him, getting Matty's attention, "How about you travel with us? We currently have the same idea, and we cou,d have more of those drinking matches. What do you say?"
Matty was surprised by the offer. He wouldn't expect for him to be invited to join their little party. The brown haired leather wearer looked at the other three.
"You three okay with that?" Matty asked them, wanting to make sure that they were alright with him coming along.
"Sure! The more the merrier I say!" Natsu told him. He was alright with having another travel buddy to have fun with.
"Yeah, I'm fine with that as long as you don't take my stuff." Nixxiom told him.
"So I guess you agree then?" Moocluck questioned him, and Matty simply gave them a smile.
"Alright, sure! I'll join you guys. You all seem like a fun bunch." The leather wearer agreed.
"Alright! Let's get this show on the road!" Ragtagg stood up from the ground, but then he grabbed his head, "Ow… head still hurts."
The others simply sweat dropped.
"By the way, did you guys pay for the food and drinks?" Ragtagg asked them, wanting to make sure that they were leaving without forgetting to pay for their drinks and meals.
"Don't worry; I have paid the waitress and the bartender." Natsu assured them, before he continued, "However, the waitress gave me a paper with numbers on it. I don't know why."
The pink haired fire dragon slayer then noticed the four giving him a deadpanned stare.
"…What?"
"Nothing." Nixxiom and Moocluck told him, as both Ragtagg and Matty couldn't help but share a chuckle from the pink haired male's density, which only confused Natsu even more.
Alright, there's that chapter.
Good news, we're taking a break from OC introduction, so no need to worry about that right now. Next chapter will show them arriving at Crocus where a certain green hair princess will make her appearance.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
Next time: Palaces, princesses, and love oh my!
