OK. Here we have the second episode of this fanfic!
I guess I do am pretty happy with how this fanfic is rolling out... But I must continue writing to make sure.
QUEEN'S BLADE: FUTURE FIGHTER
Episode 2: Into the past of the Continent
Geiko was alone, floating in a black space, Akira nowhere near him. He started opening his eyes.
"Wh...Where am I?" He asked himself. He then fixed his attention to a light in front of him when he turned around.
"Please... Help us..." That voice said again. Geiko tried to swim to the light, but couldn't. Instead, the light went for him and he catches it with his hands. The light starts glowing brighter, blinding Geiko.
Geiko, meanwhile, was now waking up to the real world. Except that...
"Err... Geiko?" Akira said, when Geiko looked up, he did saw her face, but it was all red, and when Geiko looked down, he knew why, and immediately stood up.
"AAH! SORRY, AKIRA!" Geiko apologized. After their little vortex trip, Geiko ended up landing on top of Akira, and into her breasts, which were a little big. Geiko was now very red.
"I guess this was just an accident, don't get too flustered about it." Akira told him, even if she was a little embarrassed about it as well.
"Changing situations..." Geiko said, then looked around. It looked like they were in a clearing on the forest, more precisely: The Elves' Forest
"Where are we?" Geiko asked.
"More like... WHEN are we! The Independent Continent never had forests THIS wide!" Akira said to him.
"Maybe... Did we travel through time?" Geiko asked again.
"I guess, Geiko. Since the Continent wasn't this wide in forests!"
They started looking around to find some kind of clue about where they were, but didn't find anything.
"Maybe we should-" Before she could continue, a spear hit a tree close to them.
"YIKES!" Both shouted. Geiko ran to the spear and checked it out, then pulled out his own staff spear and checked it.
"This is a conventional spear..." He affirmed. "This confirms we DO are in the past!"
"You two!" A voice came from the forest. Geiko and Akira looked on their side to see a blonde girl with a green skimpy armor, a red hat and cape, green eyes, pointy ears and green boots. What Geiko and Akira saw that caught their attention was mostly her ears.
"An ELF!?" Both said at the same time.
"Huh? You know about us!?" The female elf said in surprise.
"Of course!" Geiko answered "But elves on our time were supposed to have their own country, which made us humans and elves bring peace to both ends." The elf perked up at something Geiko said.
"'On our time'?" She asked him. Geiko approached the elf with the spear he was holding and gave it to her, the spear had two pointed ends.
"You see. Me and Akira here are not from this time, we are from the future were weapons like this -picks his Z-Saber up and lights it up- are made." The elf jumped back at the Light-saber's activation. "But we are not evil persons, do not worry." He said before turning the Saber off. Akira picked herself up and approached Geiko.
"Master!?" Another elf-girl approached. This one had mostly an orange outfit, but some details like part of the skirt and her... top, were white, and she had a pink monkey with her. "Huh? Who are these people?"
"They claim to be from the future, but it appears they're telling the truth until now..." The older elf said. "Tell me, outsiders, who are you?"
"Watashiwa Matsushima Geiko, this is Fukishima Akira, we both are from the Independent Continent of the year 2097." Geiko said, presenting himself and Akira to the elven girls.
"I see." The older elf said. "We elves do not present ourselves to outsiders, but I think we can make an exception. I am Alleyne, and this is Nowa. There's nothing much we can say aside from that."
"We know. You elves want to preserve your privacy, right?" Akira said.
"Yeah! The humans might know where we live, but they don't come here at all."
"Back at our time. Humans can visit the elves anytime they want because of the peace policy we each other have... I guess I can understand why the elves wouldn't want the humans to visit them before..." Geiko explained to them.
"What?! Truly?!" Alleyne asked in surprise.
"Yeah, it's true. The elves also have permission to visit the country of humans any time they want, and even to participate on the tournaments we have!"
"You have tournaments on your time?" Nowa asked.
"Yep!" Akira said. "Geiko here is the six-time champion of the Continent's Tournament!" Alleyne and Nowa were surprised at that, a man won a tournament six-times? No one in the Continent of the past has heard about that. Well, obviously, since they are in the past.
"Although... On this time, men aren't allowed to participate in the existing tournament." Alleyne said. Geiko was kind of surprised no men were able to take part on the tournament. Then, Alleyne and Nowa started explaining that on this time, there is a Tournament called "Queen's Blade", where the winner of the tournament would get to be the Queen to rule the Continent for the next four years. Geiko said that on his time, no tournaments like that exist and that the Continent's ruler was instead chosen by the people.
"That's a weird way to choose a ruler..." Alleyne commented.
"Try telling that to your clothing... I guess..." Geiko said while raising an eyebrow.
"Why our clothing?" Nowa asked.
"What Geiko means -bonks his head a little- is that your armor is WAY too skimpy for our time." Akira said while pointing at Alleyne and Nowa's clothes. Alleyne looked like she was wearing only a green bikini top and green shorts, while Nowa looked like she wore almost nothing. "By the way, are you sure armor like that will protect you?"
"If you think our armor is weird, wait until you meet some other girls of this time." Alleyne said "Even the Vance family has someone with a very skimpy armor.
*I don't know if the women is this time are shameless or just downright perverted...* Geiko thought. "Anyway, maybe we should show you how our armors look like." Geiko took his position and picked a green gem.
"Where did you get that gem?" Nowa asked in curiosity.
"This gem is from the armor I created." Then Geiko put his gem forward and called: "Z Armor! Rock on!" Then a bright light covered Geiko and by the time the light dissipated, Zero was now standing in front of them. Alleyne and Nowa were very surprised by the technology they would have in the future, but Alleyne had one little problem with it.
"Isn't this armor heavy?" She asked.
"Oh. That's why you have skimpy armor, the weight!" Geiko said "But don't worry, the latest technology of my time makes these armors weight almost as if we aren't wearing anything at all!"
Then, Alleyne and Nowa accompanied Geiko and Akira to the exit of the elven forest. While they were walking, Geiko and Akira explained some things of their time to the elven girls and how the tournaments work from when they are from. Alleyne and Nowa were surprised that the elven race still existed from the time they came and how many new warriors showed up to partake on the new tournaments that were created. They arrived at a hill where they could see a village from the distance.
"Keep going this path" Alleyne started "You will reach that town over there called Gainos, it's the Continent's capital."
"Our capital is called Gainage... Think it's close?" Akira asked Alleyne.
"I guess..." Alleyne said with a smile.
"Well, we shall head there then." Geiko said "Thanks for the directions, Alleyne."
"My pleasure." Geiko and Akira then changed into Zero and Marino and dashed away to the capital.
"I wonder if these two people are here for a reason?" Nowa asked Alleyne.
"I don't know little one. But that... Only the angels know."
Zero and Marino changed back into Geiko and Akira when they arrived at Gainos.
"Don't you think they'll find it weird that we use these kinds of clothes?" Akira asked him.
"It's our only choice, and I don't want to steal clothes from some random guy." Geiko told her. So Akira and Geiko walked into town ignoring the weird looks they got from the people of the place. They arrived at the plaza.
"Wow... I never knew that Gainage looked so beautiful even in the past..." Akira said.
"Yeah... We never learned this in the history books..." Geiko said. While they were wondering about that, a carriage passed by them. It was the Vance family. The persons inside noticed Geiko and Akira and told for the carriage to stop. Two women came out of the carriage, one of them had Gold Yellow hair, with a long brown belt all over her and a silver armor that wasn't really that revealing. The other one looked older, had a Red hair and used a more Skimpy Armor. *No wonder Alleyne told us there were girls with even less clothes than ever...* Geiko thought.
"Greetings." The blonde one said. "You don't seem to be from the continent, may we get to known you?"
Geiko cleared his throat and started. "Well... We ARE from the continent, but at the same time, we aren't." The women were confused by this.
"Maybe it would be best if we told you in more detail while we accompany you..." Akira explained. The women then invited them into the carriage to lead them to their castle. Turns out they were Leina and Claudette Vance, Aldra's daughters.
While on the way, Geiko and Akira started explaining how they came here, and their interest on knowing about the Queen's Blade tournament. But while they were explaining, Leina was thinking: *Maybe... Just maybe... My wishes are becoming true...*
When they finished their explanation, they already arrived at the castle.
"Well... Maybe it's going to be interesting, meeting the past rulers of our continent." Geiko said, then whispered: If only the women here didn't need lesser clothes...
He was soon eating his own words when he took sight of queen Aldra: Cat ears and tail, accompanied by NO underwear, and a VERY skimpy armor.
"Akira...?" Geiko started.
"Yes?"
"If I ever, and I mean EVER, see this kind of clothing and I am about to nosebleed, punch my face. And do it NOW." After Geiko ended that, Akira punched him across the face.
"T-Thanks." Geiko said.
"Why did you...?" Aldra asked Akira.
"I asked her. Because seriously, was our Continent full of women like you?" Geiko asked Aldra.
"Oh... I see..." Aldra blushed a little. "Anyway, are you on this time for a purpose?"
"I don't know... There is this voice we heard telling us to come to this place solve some kind of problem..." Akira explained.
"The problem we have here that MIGHT have some kind of connection to what you're saying is about a person called the Swamp Witch." Aldra started explaining "There are two persons who work for her that entered the Queen's Blade: Airi the Wraith and Melona the Rabbit." Geiko and Akira heard the rest of Aldra's explanation about the Swamp Witch and how she plans to rule the Continent with a Tyrannical foot.
"Then... This witch must be the problem that the voice told us to solve..." Geiko said. "I feel that if we don't help you, our future..."
"...might be Compromised. Right, Geiko?" Akira completed. "Yeah..." Geiko then turned to Aldra. "We'll help you. With our technology and your combat skills, we can defeat that witch!"
"Thank you!" Aldra said.
It was settled that they will live in Gainos and that they will be treated as normal citizens of the Continent, since they are from the same place, except not on the same time. The Vance family gave them 7000 coins to spend on new clothes and food, for them to get in with the time they are in right now.
Geiko and Akira are now dressing clothes from the 13th Century. Except that Akira's were a little more revealing, and Geiko would get a blush everytime he looked at her. But at least, they are in with the times.
Geiko and Akira were also granted participation on the Queen's Blade tournament, much to the surprise of the people of Gainos.
*What will happen next?* Both Geiko and Akira thought.
OK.
Third chapter will have the first battle of the Queen's Blade tournament!
Come on, people! Here we go!
