Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I own nothing , this is purely a fanfic for enjoyment. Cross-over from various games , books, anime, manga, and movies. The familiar characters you see here belongs to their respected authors and owners.
An: Ehh?, I'm updating again?, well I hope my stream of ideas don't run out soon. Can you guess what Heretic God Recca fought this chapter?, I surprisingly chose an obscure one and its unexpected.
Recca's POV:
During my week of hiding, I met a cute girl with white hair and violet eyes. She dresses with a frilly black clothes like she was royalty, she called herself Alice.
"You know, you almost sound like Alice in wonderland from the fairy tale." I said to her jokingly in one of our afternoon chats.
"Ehh?, I didn't know my cover as a Heretic God is blown this early, now I'll force you to play with me, Mr. Recca, teehee." was all she said before she cast some sort of Authority.
"Birds are just birds here. People are just people here. Welcome to Alice's tea party." Alice said her aria happily as I was now in a forest straight from Alice in wonderland.
"Welcome to my world mister, where you will slowly forget what you are, remember your name or risk disappearing, also do be careful, my trump soldiers are running around." She said as she giggled.
Trump Soldiers (トランプ兵, ?), spear-wielding card soldiers from Alice in Wonderland, can be created. She can bring about an army of forty, and though their combat ability is low, they are almost invincible due to Alice providing regenerative powers.
"I was slowly forgetting who I was, Damn, I wish I could just break away from this place." I thought bitterly.
"That's it." I said triumphantly as I said these spell words.
"Dispel! no magic may stand before thine vengeance!."I said as Rule breaker appeared in my hand and I stabbed myself, regaining my memories.
"Well since this place is one giant spell, why not." I said as I stabbed Rule breaker on the ground destroying this nameless forest authority.
"You're no fun mister, wanna play with my pet Jabberwocky?, drat, I guess I used too much mana on my last ability I casted, whatever, I still hold this trump card." She said as she smiled as she said an Aria.
"The story will go on forever.
(As long as) the slender fingers return to the first page,
As if picking up the next volume.
Once again denying reality to the reader." She said her spell words.
"Maiden's Empire!." She shouted as our surroundings shifted again into what it seems like a broken kingdom hearts movie, then the world turned black with a puff of feathers, finally a string of slashes were striked everywhere, the spell seemingly wore off and the world turned back to normal.
"Geh!, what a powerful attack, miss Alice." I said to her while I healed my wounds with medical ninjutsu.
"Hehehehe, oh it's not over mister, if you don't defeat me in a set amount of time, my health will just recover, allowing us to play forever." She said in a sing song voice.
"Oh no." I said in horror.
"Oh, yes." Alice replied as she giggled.
I quickly unsealed my battle clones at her, surprisingly, she was light on her feet, she used spells The Plains of Winter (冬の野の白き時, ?), an ice attack spell, Frenzied March Hare (三月兎の狂乱, ?), a wind attack spell, and White Queen's Enigma (白の女王様のなぞなぞ, ?), an enchantment that lowers the enemy's magic resistance when she makes certain strikes against my clones.
We were fighting on equal terms untill I used a flashbang seal, I used the opening and attached some gravity and energy absorption seals.
The battle was in my favor now, but I was still at a time limit, I damaged her enough using my battle puppet clones, so I called forth my cursed spear to deliver the finishing blow.
"Gae Bolg!." I said as I threw my spear and it homed into Alice's heart.
"Well done mister, you sure know how to play a fun game, what is a game without it's rewards, since you played with me and endured my trials as well as making me enjoy our play date more thoroughly, I give you all my authorities, don't spend it in one place you hear." She said as she vanished into golden particles.
"Don't spend it in one place." I laughed at her pun.
I quickly returned to my hideout and rested.
"What a weird day." I said as I fell asleep.
That night I dreamed of my new authorities.
"The story will go on forever.
(As long as) the slender fingers return to the first page,
As if picking up the next volume.
Once again denying reality to the reader."
"Maiden's Empire!." Is the Aria chant for Maidens Empire authority, I still remember how Alice casted it or whatever her real name, hmmm, that's strange, I defeated a God without unraveling her nature, there's no God named Alice, is there?.
The Queen's Glass Game: Perpetual Engine - Maiden Empire ( 永久機関・少女帝国クイーンズ・グラスゲーム , Eikyuukikan Shoujo Teikoku?), also known as Maxwell's Demon - Maiden's Empire: Queens Glass Game in the English localization, is an Anti-World Noble Phantasm used by Caster. The ultimate manifestation of Alice's dream. It winds back the battle to the first turn upon its activation, meaning that the girls' game will continue forever if they are not defeated by a set turn/time.
"And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back." Is the Aria for summoning Jabberwock as I dreamed it's monstrous form, he surprising looks like a digital ifrit(final fantasy 8) with wings.
Alice can summon the Jabberwock (ジャバウォック, ?), a being she calls a "friend" that is greater in power than Servants. It is initially believed to be a powerful divine beast of Alice, and it has an overwhelming presence. Its strength shakes the Arena itself, and simply nearing it allows for its fierce, swirling magical power to be felt. It can overwhelmingly defeat low level Heretic Gods, and it will stay until its granted prana/mana is depleted.
It can only be defeated by the Vorpal Blade, a "blade of legend that no one has ever seen", a Mystic Code weapon that has an effect on certain types of monstrosities. It is from the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carrol, depicting a nameless hero's quest to slay the fearsome beast. It is not something found normally. It uses a skill called Alice Eater, to temporarily strengthen itself.
I have already felt and known the effects of the nameless forest first hand it's hard to believe that nameless forest and Jaberwock stems from one authority how frightening. I felt the information about my authority surface, along with the nameless forest authority.
Nursery Rhyme: A Story For Somebody's Sake ( 誰かの為の物語ナーサリー・ライム , Dare ka no Tame no Monogatari?) is a Noble Phantasm possessed by Alice. It is a Reality Marble, her nature of reflecting her desires upon herself through the Perpetual Engine relic. Alice has great interest in nursery rhymes, so she takes on that form.
"Birds are just birds here. People are just people here. Welcome to Alice's tea party." Spell words for casting the authority.
Nameless Forest (名無しの森, Nanashi no Mori?) is a Reality Marble generated as a "playground" for Alice. Modeled after a forest, it is "Alice's tea party" where none can remember their names. It slowly chips away at the target's ego in order by influencing their unconscious mind to cause them to disappear. They first forget their name, forget who they are, and then begin to fade away until their body completely disappears. Attempting to retrieve information like their identity or the names of others from their memory does not work, feeling a disturbance like slipping against smooth stone. Alice appear unaffected by its abilities. Can also summon up to 40 trump soldiers while using this ability.
I feel like Doni served his lesson so I willed the curse of Gae Bolg to stop, and went to the Kusanagi residence again.
I knocked and I was surprised on who greeted me.
"Recca?, your back?, so uhh, since when did you became a campione?, and um, would it be possible to heal Doni?, it really might cause an international scandal on the magical world." Godou said as he scratched his head.
"Umm yeah, I already undid the curse yesterday, so uhh, you became a campione too, hmm, I was trying to hide my identity as one really, being normal is great if you ask me." I said Honestly.
"Yeah, my life was peaceful before being turned into a Campione, now, I have strange girls popping in my life and I seem to have attracted Voban as an enemy, Doni is just annoying, come in, let's continue in the living room." Godou said as he led me yo the living room.
"So, you're telling that the school you exchanged into has a magical side and due to some incident, you got transfered there where you met Doni and you somehow made an impression on him resulting in him abducting you to be his mascot?." Said Godou in a deadpan voice.
"Yes, during one of our travels, we encountered a heretic God that went toe to toe with Doni and Voban, it's there where I faked my death and came here where the situation exploded out of proportions." I explained to Godou.
"Still, now that your cover as a Campione is exposed, what are you going to do?." Asked Godou seriously.
"Oh my, maybe live the rest of my life as a hermit?, nahh, I'll die of boredom, ahh, I'll just hide, yes, away from shady organizations and shady women." I said with determination.
Godou just sweatdropped at my response.
"Really?, but you have a responsibility now otou-to, you can't let those evil Gods and Campione roaming around." Godou said in a sincere tone.
"Geh, didn't expect my brother to guilt trip me, sigh, I guess a campione is still a campione, hmm, on second thought I'll just hide." I said as my cowardly nature popped up.
"I won't let you hide, my dear brother, oh no, I'm not suffering alone fighting overpowered God's, I finally have someone to relate too and I'm not letting you slip away." Godou said as he smiled evilly.
"So..., I can't just hide behind your name and shadow?." I asked him with puppy dog eyes which disturbed him.
"That was before we found out that you were a campione, hehehehe, I can finally dump half of my enemies to you." said the laughing Godou.
"Mou, nii-chan is evil." I said as I pouted.
"Oh, just tough it out, just do what you did to Doni, Strike then ran-way, scratch that, there are civilians involved, so that plan is a bust." Explained Godou.
"Yeah, it's not like a magic association pop's up and offers me to be the their representative." I said jokingly.
"On the contrary Mr. Recca, the Witenagemot of Greenwich would like you to be our representative, by the way I am princess Alice." Said the astral form of Alice.
"Geeeeeeeee." I stared into Alice for five minutes.
"What is it Mr. Recca?, are you interested in me?." Alice asked shyly which snapped me back to reality.
"I'm sorry miss Alice, it's just, I met a Heretic God who called herself Alice, she was very powerful and I barely won against her, your resemblance is quite close, pardon this man's crazy ramblings." I said to Alice.
"Hoh?, how many Heretic God's did you slay, otou-to?." Asked Godou curiously.
"I'm curious as well, Mr. Recca." Said Princess Alice.
"Oh not much, just three, I'm sure there are others with more authorities than mine, hold it, no need to divulge your authorities to me, it could mean life and death in the future." I said to Godou sternly.
"You are surprisingly perceptive Mr. Recca, which means our decision is right, you'll accept won't you." Princess Alice said with her puppy dog eyes which was way, way superior than mine.
"Alright, I agree, but doesn't the campione Black Alec rules England?." I said concerned.
"Oh, that selfish brute can crawl in a hole for all I care, besides I'm sure sure Mr. Recca will protect us." Princess Alice smiled as she dragged me outside in her Astral form.
"Astral form can carry heavy objects?." I thought as I looked at Goudou pleadingly to save me from being manhandled.
Godou just waved and smiled at me.
"Why Godou?, Why?, why did you abandon your cute baby brother in his time of need." I thought miserable as I was driven away by a limo.
Later at Godou's residence.
"Ding, Dong!." A doorbell rang and Godou answered.
"Hello again Godou, is your brother around?, the History Compilation Committee would like to extend him the same courtesy as you." Said Amakasu Touma.
"Your late, the Witenagemot already took him, he was whipped by Princess Alice." Godou laughed as he remember the scene.
"Drat, someone got to him first, oh, and Mr. Godou, your hardly one to criticize with all the ladies you sorround yourself with." Said Touma as he adjusted his glasses and left the scene, leaving a gaping and shocked Godou who realized that Touma was right.
"Geh, Touma was right, I am also whipped from three sides, I just hope it does not increase, I'm not sure I can handle any more girls." Goudou thought about his situation.
Little did Godou know that his Harem will increase in the future.
