A/N: Real quick, my beta's and my own computer have compatibility issues, so there might be random ='s or numbers scattered throughout this chapter. I tried getting all of them out, but I may have missed one or two.

Waking Up

As I regained consciousness, I slowly regained my senses. First my touch came, and along with it, a strange pressure on my chest. Second came my taste, and along with that came the unpleasant sensation of cotton in my mouth. Third came my smell, and let's just say I recognized that I definitely needed a wash. Finally my hearing and sight came rushing back at once.

"But Sliiime!" I heard Lime whine. "I promise I won't get into any trouble this time. Can I please-"

"NO!" Definitely Slime's voice. "Every time I let you out, you seem to bring back more trouble. Remember the Creeper incident?"

"But Cupa said that they're friendly and all they want is a hug and to play!" Lime exclaimed. "How was I supposed to know that if they get even a little bit excited, they blow up?"

"Because Cupa told you that even a little excitement gets them to explode. But did you listen? Noooo. You just had to bring one home. It took me at least a week to gather the materials to rebuild your room and even longer to sweep up all that gunpowder that was blown throughout the house. Plus, you probably scared the poor Creeper to death. In fact, you did scare it to death. You jumped out around the corner, it panicked, and its defense mechanism kicked in. Cupa said it refused to come back here, so you could apologize."

I couldn't help but release a chuckle and give away that I was awake and listening to their conversation. I only cracked one eyelid to allow my eye to get adjusted to the harsh light that was provided by the torches around the room on the walls. As my eye adjusted I slowly opened the other one so I could properly see Lime sitting on my chest grinning at me.

"Morning Danny!" Lime said. "Can you please help me talk Slime into letting me take you on a tour of the cave?"

I started sitting up forcing Lime to get off of me. When I was completely sitting up I looked around the room that I was in. There were a few chests on the edges of the stone wall. The floor was covered in a light green rug that had what looked like dark green stains. There were no windows and the only reason I could see was because of the torches. The walls were a dull grey stone that seemed like they were dug out instead of put up. One wall had photos of Slime, Lime, and three others. Two were obviously their parents and the other looked like they could be their sister. One wall had a large hole that was fashioned to look like a bar, that lead into a small kitchen with a stove and a small refrigerator. The couch I was on was a deep green like that of a jungle canopy.

"Nice looking place you girls have here." I admitted. "Now what's this I hear about showing me around a cave?"

"Slime won't let me show you around the cave that we're in right now." Lime pouted. "She says I'll get into trouble, but I promised her I'd be careful and won't, but she still won't let me, and I want to show you around!" At this she stamped her foot and crossed her arms.

I smiled. "Then how about a compromise?"

"A what?" Lime asked, tilting her head to the side. Seriously too damn cute.

"A compromise is kind of like a deal, I guess," I explained. "It means if Slime allows you to do something, then you have to promise her that in return you'll either do something for her, or something to ensure you'll be safe. So if she allows you to take me on a tour of your….cave, then I'll promise that I'll keep you safe and protect you to my last breath. Is that good enough Slime?"

Slime appeared in the hole in the wall and smiled. "Sure, on one condition though." She said.

"Condition being?" I asked.

"Take me with you so I can make sure that Lime doesn't get into any trouble, and I can keep an eye on you. I'm sorry, I know you saved Lime, but you'll have to excuse me of my reluctance to letting someone I barely know, take my little sister out by themselves. Who knows how much trouble you two could get into?"

"Seems like a fair compromise," I said smiling. "What do you think Lime? Wanna see how much trouble we can get into while your sister watches over us?"

Lime immediately got an evil smile on her face and said, "Yeah! That way Slime can't get mad at only me if we get into any trouble. She'll have to get mad at you too!"

Slime shook her head and chuckled. "Alright you little pest, let's go get ready to take Danny on a tour, okay?"

"Okay! See you in a bit Danny!" Lime exclaimed and ran off to who knows where.

"See you!" I yelled after her. "Don't get into too much trouble before we leave so we can get into even more trouble while we're out!" I heard Lime giggle as she went to get ready.

Slime started following her, but turned back to me with a grin. "You know, if you get her into any unnecessary trouble, I'm going to make sure you end up sleeping on the ground tonight. And if you think you'll be able to get away with it because you're a guest, don't. Because I'll make sure it'll be even worse then what I already had planned."

I grinned and looked at anywhere but her and sheepishly said, "I would never think about doing that." With this she mock glared at me. *Gulp* "U-umm, or I'll just stay by your side and be on my best behavior?"

She smiled and laughed. "Good answer, Danny. You know, depending on how you long you plan on staying, I might just keep you around here to keep Lime from bothering me. It'll save me from ripping out my hair."

I couldn't help myself as I laughed. "You know, if you keep me here, you'll probably end up ripping more of your beautiful hair out then you did before, you know that?"

She rolled her eyes and smiled even bigger. "If you want to play it that way, then I'll make sure your stay will be a living Hell. Don't get on my bad side Danny, my torture will make you get on your knees and beg me to stop."

My eyes widened and I looked away with a blush while embarrassing thoughts ran through my head at exactly what kind of torture she had planned. "Um-um, w-well, I-I guess I should g-go get ready then huh?" I stuttered. I hate my stutter.

I could tell Slime knew she had thoroughly embarrassed me. She decided to give mercy on me and left the room giggling to herself.

As I waited for the two to get back I started thinking about the portal that had brought me here. It wasn't normal, that's for damn sure. Lime seemed to be at ease when it appeared, and considering she said it looked the same as the one she went through to get there, I guess it's not a surprise. However, I felt like it was more than that. I felt like Lime was more accustomed to seeing the paranormal than, well, normal. It shouldn't've been bothering me as much as it was, but it all doesn't add up. The story on how she got there, the fact that I didn't see the portal before I was rudely shoved through, the entire fact that I went through torture on the way through, and then that damned dream.

What did the strange figure mean when it said that this whole fiasco was planned. That nothing happened out of coincidence; that I was meant to be here. That doesn't sit well with me, because I had the vaguest of feelings that when he said here he meant somewhere not of Earth.

However, that fact could wait while I figure out who the Players were that Slime was talking about. It sounded as if she were talking like this was a game and the Players were exactly that. Just people playing a game and they have no idea that they're probably killing innocent people and doing it without remorse.

My thoughts were interrupted when Slime walked back into the room. It took all I had not to let my jaw drop because Slime had changed. Instead of skinny jeans, she now wore a pair of shorts that stop a couple of inches above her knees. She was wearing a dark green vest that was unzipped a little and underneath she had a plain white tank top. Her hair was braided up into a bun on her head hidden underneath her green hat. She had a scabbard attached to her left hip. She had on a pair of black combat boots with green laces, as well as green fingerless gloves.

The scabbard was a pure black with a green outlining. It was almost as long as her leg and about half as thick.

Once I had regained control of my speech and my heart wasn't hammering in my chest I realized that I had been staring wide-eyed at Slime, which was extremely rude. "Umm, ah, I'm sorry for staring, but you look like you're ready to go to battle or something…."

Slime blushed slightly and frowned a bit, "Yeah, we have to be ready for anything. Who knows if there are any Players out there? If there are, I need to be ready to protect my sister with everything I've got."

There that term again; Players. It was rattling in my head with no reprieve. "Players? Who are they?"

Slime's frown immediately turned into a scowl and she tensed. "Players are despicable beings that take everything they see and never leave anyone alive. The only ones they don't seem to bother too much are the Testificates. In fact, they've even started up trade negotiations. They trade with the Players for protection against their wrath. The Players leave them alone as long as they continue getting the materials they want. Anything and everyone else they take by force and build disgusting structures to show they've been there. They've basically wiped out the Ghoul mobs. They're constantly killing off any creature they come across. My parents…" She paused and started frowning and her eyes started tearing up, "My parents trusted a couple that were nice to them. After a few hours, my parents had invited them into the home we had at the time. The Players got a tour of the house and once they had come across my father's crown, the Players killed them without hesitation. By the time we had realized what they had done, it was too late. The Players had fled, my father's crown was gone, and my parents were dead. They had left us with nothing."

Slime's shoulders were shaking as she cried for her parents. Tears were spilling out of her eyes and her hands were clamped so hard, I thought I saw blood drip down.

Immediately I stood and walked over to her. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders in a hug to stop them from shaking. She put her head on my shoulder and cried while she tried to get a hold of herself. After a few minutes, she seemed to bring herself together and stopped crying. However, she kept her head on my shoulder and wrapped her arms around me, returning the hug. After another few moments, she must've realized the compromising position we were in because she immediately released me and backed up a few steps, blushing profusely.

She looked to the side and said, "Th-thanks. I think I needed that," she turned and glared at me, "but if you tell anybody what just happened, I don't care if Lime likes you or not. You will be out of a home."

I smiled and said, "Tell anybody about what Slime?"

She smirked and started laughing under her breath. "Alright, good. Now where the Hell is Lime?"

"Here!" we heard. When we turned to the person behind the voice both of us couldn't help but smiling at Lime.

"I hope you didn't get into any trouble Lime," I said. "Because if you did Slime here will be that much harder to get by now."

Lime ran up to me and laughed, "Of course I didn't! I never get into any trouble here. Slime normally lets me off the hook with everything, so she won't be a problem!"

I looked at Slime and backed fearfully away from Lime. Slime's hand was up in a fist looking like she about to hit Lime in the back of the head. But instead of hitting her, Slime just shook her head and tapped Lime's head with her knuckle.

"Quiet you," She said. "If I hear one more thing outta you I'll give you a bruise you won't forget, got it?"

Lime smiled, pinched her fingers, and brought them to her mouth and dragged them across. Afterwards she locked an invisible lock and pretended to throw away the key.

Slime and I started laughing at Lime's antics. Lime just looked at us like she were confused at what we were laughing at.

After a few moments, we regained our composure and walked out of the room. As we passed a door, Slime opened it and handed me the sword I had found under the rubble.

"Here," she said. "I took this from you when you were out so you couldn't harm us. I'm sorry." She hastily added at my frown. "I trust you a bit more now and I know you don't intend to harm us, but I didn't trust you when you first arrived."

I nodded my head, agreeing with her. "I understand. If a strange person appeared out of nowhere with my sibling, I'd be overly cautious as well.

She smiled at my forgiveness and resumed walking down the hallway we were in. After a few more doors we passed, she stopped outside of one at the very end of the hallway.

"Alright," she said. "Are you ready Lime? Danny?"

Lime vigorously nodded her head until it looked like it was going to fall off. I nodded my head once to show her I was read.

Slime sighed once, turned to the door, turned the knob, and slowly opened the door. When the door was open, she cautiously walked outside with a hand on her sword hilt. Lime followed her with a spring in her step as if she didn'92t care about all the dangers.

After a tense moment I steeled my nerves, swearing to protect the two girls w=ho gave him a place to stay. After another moment silently praying to whatever God who ruled that land, and took my first step outside.

A/N: Hello again! So this is the third chapter, and it's probably more of a filler chapter so you have a bit more background to the Players and Slime's lives.

I have a couple plans that I need to run by you guys (or girls). First is, I plan on making it so Slime and Lime's domain could be recaptured. I kind of want to make it sort of like a domination deal. What I mean is, once Danny cleans a specific area of Players, as long as Slime or Lime is near, he can recapture that point for them. This goes along with the other mobs as well, though I'll probably make it where a couple of the aggressive mobs have an abundance of land.

Second is, the princesses that I plan to make infatuated is: obviously Slime, maybe the Ocelots (need a name though and I'm horrid at coming up with them), and maybe Ghasts (I honestly don't know, she just seems like she's mourning over something and I figure Danny might be able to help her overcome it.)

Mobs that will be protective: The wolves, the Snow Golems, and the Iron golems. I need names for all three though!

Mobs that will be neutral: cows, sheep, pigs, squid, and chicken are a given. I'm thinking of making Silverfish a neutral and just making it seem like she's really hyper or something. Maybe testificates ( mainly a maybe because they're trading with Players). And definitely witches. Oh, and I need input on Creepers because I'm thinking of making them just really shy, and when they get excited or something they explode (I'll explain later in the story).

Aggressive mobs: Most of the others. There are so many others that I don't want to waste my time putting them down.

I'll try and put some polls up to see who all wants Danny's main romance/s to be. I'll only put two or three up first and then move on from there.

So, until I'm able to figure out what adventures wait for our protagonist, I guess that's everything for now. Leave reviews of course if you have any questions and I can better my writing, and PM me if you have any ideas for an OC I can use later on.

So, this is
