This style of text is for authors notes at the start of, at certain points in, and at the end of a chapter. Also sorry for the long wait on this chapter. The person who normally helps write this lost interest and i don't always have much motivation to write anymore either. I should also probably mention that ideas for this story were made before the end of TOME was released and also has ideas from TV TOME adventures so yeah...
*Outside game, Draxien's POV*
I ran through everything in my head before I picked up my VR headset. "Dad really needs to suggest making these less bulky," I commented absently. Kizuna walked in just then saying, "Phone call for you, idiot." I looked at her, confused. usually she never called me idiot. "Why so angry?" I asked. "You ate the last of the oreos," and she walked out. "Hello?" "Hi. wanna play TOME today?" I laughed before responding. "Sure thing. Have you called everyone already?" she said yes, so i just logged on. I wondered what we were all going to do today.
*In Game*
I beamed down in ;Mechcity, near the platform cafe. "Finally," a voice said behind me. I turned to see Banzai and Floranete sitting at a table. "I thought you would never show up." I smirked as i responded with, "Sup Kirby." Banzai glared at me, but for some reason he didn't go awol. "Where the heck are Archfiend and Manafreak?" I continued, dodging the awkward situation. Suddenly, a voice sounded out across the street. "NYLOCKE! DRAGON OF COMPLETING ODD BUT FUN SIDE QUESTS!" The three of us looked over at a pair of players. one was tall, green, and overdramatic, the other was Gamecrazed. Banzai immediately started beating his head against the table, each hit punctuated by words I barely caught. "Why… Did… It… Have… To… Be… HIM!" I made out. I overheard other players saying things like, "Who the **** is that guy!?" A wicked grin spread across my face as I watched Banzai slam his head on the table. "Squire Banzai might I inquire as to why thou art banging thy head against the table? It hast done nothing wrong!" Banzai glared at me and Flora just laughed. "It's been awhile since you last did a voice." she commented. "I believe we have an acquaintance nearby," GC said in his quiet voice. "Do we? then we must locate them at once!" the other yelled, unaware that a few players were looking mutinous. "here they are," GC said as they came over. "Oh, GREETINGS Squire Banzai of the Stormy Blade." Banzai groaned at this title. "Nylocke. GC. N-nice. To. See. You," he choked out. I immediately took a liking to this "Nylocke." "Wilt thou join us on our merry quest, good sirs and lady?" " Of course Sir Nylocke of green, dragon-themed armour," I said in my best role play voice. I could feel Banzai's glare burning into the back of my skull. That's when I realized he was actually trying to burn through my skull with a lightning bolt. I stepped out of its path and shot him a look. "Excellent! Then we shall be off when the clock strikes not ten. Not eleven. But noon!" Nylocke spouted at high speed. Banzai simply raised his left hand and began putting down fingers. when he ran out he pointed at the clock in the center of ;Mechcity. At that exact moment the clock rang out 12 chimes. In the four seconds before Nylocke exploded, I looked over and called him a show-off. four seconds later, Flora, Banzai, GC and I were sucked up in the vortex left by Nylocke's takeoff. I faintly heard Floranete yell, "Team Draxien blasting off again!" Banzai then retorted with, " OH SHUT UP!" The next thing I knew, we were on the ground surrounded by Alpha, and Kirbopher. "Hey Kirb," Banzai said with a wicked smirk, "How's your cat?" Kirbopher visually recoiled. I forgot he was unaware that Snapshot was also Banzai. I gave him a signal telling him not to worry about it. Finally, like I always did, I glared at Banzai. Alpha didn't look too suspicious, but I tried to get off the subject as fast as possible. "So, what the hell is this quest about anyway?" Banzai asked, flicking pebbles off his shirt. "Our merry band of heroes must journey forth to defeat the greatest villain of all time…" Nylocke began, but Kirb cut him off. "We have to find an egg, a remote, and a code so we can use the remote to open the egg. After that we fight some stupid boss, blah blah blah." Floranete looked excited, and I just smirked knowing what the boss actually was. I then remembered something " oh hey banzai i got something for ya because i didn't get you anything on your birthday." banzai looked confused so i told him what it was " it's an item that allows you to add a "teleportation" seal to any throwable or summonable weapon. " feel free to use it on your summonable chakrams if you want. It only works in battle though so no teleporting to areas outside of the battle unless you're escaping from said battle." I gave banzai the item "You gave banzai the flying raijin seal formula" the game informed me of the trade even though it was obvious that i had. "Anyway we should probably split up and look for the quest items. I'll go look for the egg." i volunteered "Why?" asked banzai " Because i've done this quest before on my own time with archfeind and manafreak while you were off at band practice and flora was visiting family so i know where the egg is and how to get it." " What about the remote and the code?" Asked alpha "Those are always randomized. Go talk to the various item vendors around TOME they should have clues as to where they are." "EXCELLENT! Sir gamecrazed, sir alpha, squire kirbopher and i shall attempt to find this "remote"! Sir banzai and lady flora would thou find the code for this quest? "Yeah yeah why not. " banzai replied less than enthusiastically. "Then let's be off!" i shouted enthusiastically
*;lavendara: high cliffs region*
I looked up at where the egg was supposed to be and sure enough the light purple egg is right where it's supposed to be. "Alright if i remember correctly a jump pad should be right around… here!" i said as i was launched hundreds of feet in the air to the eggs location. " well this is easy. Almost as if someone is purposely writing it this way because another author lost interest in writing this." i said out loud to no one in particular. "Anyway i better get back to the group. Banzai and flora probably already found the code. As for the remote… if it spawned where i think it spawned then gamecrazeds awkward-o-meter is probably about full." i jumped down from the cliff using my wings to help slow the fall while protecting the egg from harm. " i'm going to have fun destroying the thing that comes out of this. Especially if that update has been released already.
*back at the landing area
I was right. Everyone was back. And banzai was about to blow so i decided to not be an ass for once. " i got the egg. " "Finally!" i heard someone shout. "Anyway we should probably crack this baby open. Remote please." i asked to nylocks group. "Here you go." alpha said giving me the remote "thank you." "so how do we open it? The code just said up left" banzai asked. " like this." i replied taking the remote and selecting the egg before pressing left. "The netkings love watching old flash cartoons on newgrounds so the took this from the maker of super frekin parody rangers. With permission obviously." i said out loud as the egg started to open. "Is that what i think it is?!" flora asked in horror as the thing that was emerging from the egg took on a phallic shape. "Yes. yes it is." kirb replied slightly cursing himself for introducing the netkings to that flash animation. " how uncouth!" nylocke exclaimed. Game crazed just stayed silent. "What? What's wrong with it?' asked alpha. "Not important!" I yelled. i was glad the netkings made this boss silent as dealing with all the innuendos would have been a pain. It looked exactly like Evan splooge from parody rangers right down to the long nose. I could feel the desire to kill it in the air and slightly cursed myself for suggesting this be put in the game. "Shall we?' asked nylocke "lets." replied everyone as we rushed the boss. Flora tried to bind it with vines while banzai warped around the battlefield using his chakrams getting in as many hits as possible. Nylocke and gamecrazed had to get in a bit closer but could still attack with their ice and shadow projectiles rather well. Poor alpha had to get in close to deal major damage as he was the only one with a major strike attack out of his group. I my self had to get in close as well as my ethereal blades counted at a strike and a slash weapon. All in all it was quite a spectacle however it all had to come to a close eventually and soon the boss's hp hit 0. "Is it over?" i heard flora ask with hope filling her voice that the phallic boss was gone. "Not quite. There's at least one more stage unless an update added in a third one." i said as the boss began to grow into an even more phallic shaped form. "OH COME ON!" i heard banzai yell. " Guys i have an idea on how to finish this boss fast but i'll need your help for this." i told the group "what is it?" i heard gamecrazed ask "I need yall to fight his while i charge up my attack for like 2 minutes." "2 MINUTES?!" banzai screamed "ARE YOU #$%ING kidding me?!" "it's the best option we've got unless you want to fight the giant phallic monster for the next hour!" i yelled back. "Just do it!" i heard kirb yell. And so i started to charge my attack as everyone else started to attack the boss again. Banzai warped around from chakram to chakram hitting the boss with each teleport until finally he said "IS IT READY YET?!" "yes!" i replied "everybody out of the way!" everybody dodged out of the way as a black sphere shot out of my palm and at the boss before lifting the boss into the air and pulling ground up to form a massive sphere and i jumped into the clouds. Banzai threw some electrically charged chakrams into it as well before the sphere was finished and as soon as it was i struck. Slashing the sphere, and the boss, in half resulting in a massive explosion. I was glad the battle grids are considered a separate landscape from the rest of the game and automatically repaired themselves else the game may have crashed and i could have gotten in trouble. "How the hell did you do that?!" banzai yelled. "It was in the new update wasn't it? The ability to have ultimate attacks like that?" alpha asked "yes. It was. However i didn't think one of that magnitude would be aloud" gamecrazed replied. "I've seen one even more powerful than that. It actually caused the game to crash if you remember." flora said. Banzai still looked pissed but didn't say anymore. "Well that was fun was it not my companions!" nylocke asked "it was. But everyone in favor of NEVER doing this quest again say aiy." kirb asked us all "AIY!" everyone replied in unison.
;Moon-interior, 11:11 pm
Normally i'd be in here as Oblivion but since the netkings were off tonight partying over another successful update and all my other friends were offline and couldn't see me logged on here anyway i decided to just go on as Draxien. " you took a big risk with that attack today. You could have put SOFDTI in danger or exposed her location to other players." zetto said from behind me with a rage that was only noticeable if you payed attention. "No i didn't. I doubt she would have let me use Planetary Devastation if she was in any danger." i replied. "What do you mean?" he asked "that's not my place to tell you." i walked off after saying that preparing for the days ahead when i'd have to work overtime as oblivion in order to find the rest of the virus XIII before they could do any real damage to the game. "Check status of proto grid implementation. access code: HAO OBLIVION XV-Battle network." i said as a battle grid from megaman battle network loaded with a 99% complete message popping up next to me. "Good. The virus XIII won't be able to use their full power on this grid…I just hope it's enough." i logged out a few hours later to get some sleep before the days ahead.
So what do yall think? Like it? Hate it? Indifferent to it? Let me know in the reviews! And yes. planetary devastation is from Naruto. Anyway this is Aporeon219a aka Draxien Oblivion signing off!
