Previously on The Fantasy and the Vault.
"Hey sleepy boy wake up!" A familiar voice said. "You need to wake up Max you got a mission to do and breakfast is ready." Aya said. "Good morning Aya how is your day?" Claptrap said. "So we are going to the SDM right." Zer0 said. "Well then shall we go, and your house looks great." Claptrap said. "Well next time take the side conversation while we walk okay." Reimu said. "Steady, steady." Architect said. "What?" The marauder looks to where the psycho was pointing at. There he saw small groups who were armed. "It doesn't matter. Rare or not I'll take it." Marisa said. "Would someone please help us? The Hyperion had Remilia Scarlet prison. We're under attack by Hyperion I repeat we're under attack by Hyperion." A frenchy voice said.
Now back to the story.
Sakuya welcomes the Vault Hunters to her huge mansion owned by her mistress Remilia Scarlet. They greeted Remilia in the dining room.
"Hello Vault Hunters it's nice to meet you." Remilia said.
"Nice to meet you Remilia." Architect said bowing.
"Yea it's nice to meet you." Max said doing the same thing as Architect.
"Um how tall is your-" Claptrap was bang by Max to shut him up. "Ow why did you do that for?"
"Just don't try to judge her appearance ok." Max said.
"Please Vault Hunters sit on each of those chairs." Remilia said. The Vault Hunters sit in each of those chairs. Architect sits next to Zer0 and Claptrap on the left side. Max sits in the right side with Marisa and Aya who is close to him. Reimu sits in the front opposite to Remilia. At a moment, 2 figures appears, one of them is Sakuya and the other one is a butler. Both of them carrying food trays to each of the group. After all the food trays were served and filled up by sake except for Max who wants water and Aya too, everyone eats their meal.
"So these are your servant's right." Zer0 said.
"Sakuya is my head maid for this mansion. Butler spy is my head butler of this mansion." Remilia said.
"Is that all." Zer0 said.
"Well there's Patchouli Knowledge, Koakuma, and Magician Sniper in the library and Flandre in the basement." Remilia said. "Just don't go towards her."
"Why not." Zer0 said.
"Well she would play with you with danmaku." She said.
"Danmaku those things are hard to dodge, must not play with her." Zer0 said.
"But can Max play with her I was just curious." Claptrap said.
"Max who's Max." She said.
"The tall dude in the right." Claptrap pointed to Max.
"Why's that"
"Because he beated Meiling and dodges danmaku." Claptrap said.
"It's how he is mistress. He dodges almost everything including danmaku." Architect said.
"He's that type of power that no one knows what he is." Zer0 said. "I'm interested to dodging danmaku."
"Hey guys, I don't know what this Flandre is. But I will play with her once I ate this and wait for 30 mins. I can't play with her on a full stomach." Max said. "Aya you can have the rest I'm full." He give it to Aya.
"No thanks you can just give it to Architect." Aya said. Max gives it to Architect which he accepts.
"Ah right thanks for the meal anyways. Now I'll go and explore around this mansion."
"Wait Max. Before you could go I'll let Sakuya to do the tour for you." Remilia said.
"What mistress, what about Butler." Sakuya said.
"Butler will stay and help clean this place and the dishes. You should take a break ok."
"But this handsome person... It... Attracts me." Sakuya said.
"Just get use to see a handsome person Sakuya. Besides you got use to Butler Spy face."
"Yea but this person is exactly my age are you sure I can handle him."
"You only give him a tour that's all." Remilia said.
"Hey you girls are you done talking. I'm waiting here." Max said.
"Oh sorry about that Sakuya go on ahead." Remilia said.
"Hey Max before you go I just want to give you this." Aya give a kiss in the cheek on Max's face. "Have fun ok." It started to make Sakuya blush when she sees Aya kissing Max's cheek and turn her face to the left.
"Oh mate I think we found a couple." Architect said.
"What we're not couple. We're just friends that's all." Max said. "Anyways Sakuya let's get moving before I ended up being in a wedding zone." Sakuya didn't pay attention. "Uh Sakuya are you ok." Sakuya flinch.
"Oh sorry, just waiting for your conversation to be over."
"Well we better get moving. Let's go."
"Right then." Sakuya actives her time watch and sends him outside of the mansion. To them they disappear.
"Whoa what type of danmaku is that? A teleportation." Claptrap said.
"It's not teleportation. It's time stopping." Zer0 said.
"Whoa a time stopper, no wonder those echo recordings were here. They know that Hyperion is here. Isn't that right Butler Spy."
"Yes of course Claptrap. I know that Hyperion will be here so I time travel and see what's going on. I warn my mistress that Hyperion will be here for soon, so we prepare." He said.
"Alright I'll go to the library. Where is it?" Architect said.
"It's near the basement. If you could find it." Remilia said.
"I'll go to, I want to see all the books found in the library, I'm interested." Zer0 said.
"We'll see ya and thanks for the food Butler."
"Hey Aya are you finish." Claptrap said.
"Yea I just need to finish up the meat." Aya said. While Reimu and Marisa continues eating.
Sakuya tours Max about the mansions bedrooms, kitchen, main room, and the library. "Wow I can't believe someone owns a mansion for so long." Max said. "I don't get it why the mistress wants it here in Japan."
"Beats me I don't even know all about the mansion." Sakuya said. "Anyways moving on." After all the tour that Sakuya did. She notes that the mansion is big because of her power to manipulate space and time.
"Whoa I didn't know that you can manipulate space and time." Max said. "No wonder you make the mansion look big enough."
"It was all the days the work to make it big enough to impress my mistress." Sakuya said. "Anyways thanks for having a tour around the mansion."
"Thanks for letting me know about this place. See ya." Then Max runs off.
"Well that's taking care of. Let's see what I had to do next."
Max went to find the library as Sakuya told her it is located on the bottom of the mansion. He finally finds it. 'Man this place is huge, how many books are there.' He thought. He check on his surroundings that books are everywhere. Most of them are magic books, others use for stories, histories, and forbidden stuff. Max saw a figure who that appears to be holding 5 books and bat like wings on her back. "Um hey." The figure stops and looks to see a tall person.
"Yea what is it." The figure said.
"Where's the basement. I want to see Flandre." Max said.
"The basement is at the left door near Patchouli's desk. You should find a hallway that leads towards the basement." The figure said.
"Thanks, oh by the way what is your name?" Max asked.
"It's Koakuma it's nice to meet you."
"You too" And Max walks off to find the basement.
Architect looks around on a couple of books that he is interested in. He picks a book called An Ark that the Germans Thought. He reads on it and mutters himself. "The Germans were looking for this ark to make their army unstoppable huh. Then they end up open it and were killed by the ark interesting."
"You like that book huh." A voice said.
"You must be Magician sniper aren't you?" Architect knows that the voice was actually Magician sniper.
"Aye how do you know my name?" Magician said.
"I know by your echo recordings, how did you know that Hyperion will come here soon?" Architect said.
"Butler told me about it and I was preparing to fight them whenever they come mate." Magician said.
"Huh I was going do the same thing. Anyways you know Vault Hunters right."
"Yea Vault hunters who seek money, jobs, and deal with bad guys right."
"Of course they always want those to help others as will."
"Yea c'mon buddy I got some interested books I had for you."
Meanwhile, Max is still looking for the door that leads to the hallway to the basement. What he finds instead was a person dress in pajamas who is reading something. Max knows that he doesn't want to disturb her, but the person says. "What is it?"
"Oh I'm looking for the hallway to the basement do you know where it is." Max said.
"So you are looking for Flandre is that correct."
"Yes I"m looking for her do you know where she is." She pointed to the door in the left side.
"Thanks" But before Max could open the door. The figure speaks.
"Your Max right, a person who dodges danmaku and have a skill that dodges everything right."
"Well yea and how did you know my name?" Max said.
"I'm Patchouli Knowledge the owner of this library. I study your ability that you fought with Meiling right. In that case you must be half human and half Space mum right."
"Space mum I've never heard of space mum who are they."
"Well space mums are humanoid taking mummies that live in space. They were immortal beings that live in the parallel universe mostly there guards of the universe and the parallel. They had the abilities called PEM (Periodic Elements Mana) that were so powerful that danmaku can't withstand their power."
"No wonder I can dodge those danmaku bullets easy. Those PEM abilities help me to dodge it right."
"Well your PEM is mostly focus on speed. So I guess you use kinetic to manipulate speed right."
"Well I am fast. And being a space mum that are immortal. Just makes me feel like I can survive through ages?"
"Yes of course space mum are immortal beings similar to Eridans."
"Eridans, so you mean I had some sort of connection to the vault."
"No only those who saw it. You just came before you crash here."
"I gotta admit that you were spying on me right. Well I gotta go find Flandre. Thanks for the info." He open the door and left in the hallway.
"Max huh. A half-human half-space mum who has the ability of speed interesting. But how in the world did his power increase." She continues back reading.
Max keeps on walking and walking until he finds stairs which could lead to the basement. 'I think that's it. This is where Flandre is.' He thought. He walks down the stairs and finds duo doors. He opens it slowly. 'Man this place is dark I need a flashlight.' He pulls out his flashlight and turns it on. What he finds was a complete mess, but what disturb him are corpses. 'What is this' He checks on each of the bodies. The bodies were in fact bandits that have been eaten. 'Bandits, why were bandits doing in here and why are they being eaten.' He soon finds lots of corpse's piles up most are bandits and civilians. He covers his mouth 'Oh man what is this. What type of person eats all of this and places them in the pile.' Then he notices something. 'Wait did Flandre did this? If so then why in the world did she eat all of this. Ah I don't want to see it.' He later finds a casket on the bed. 'This must be Flandre's bed, but do I dare take a look at it.' He slowly walks and opens the casket slowly. He finds nothing in it. 'What the then that means.' Lights were on.
Max see a small figure who is holding a panda stuffed animal, with rainbow wings on her back. On her other hand she seems to be hiding it. "Who are you?"
"I should know you first." Max said. Flandre's stomach's growls indicating that she's hungry.
"I'm Flandre Scarlet have you ate." A figure said.
"Yes I did ate it." Max said.
"What did you eat?"
"Meat, potato, and-"
"Meat." Flandre interrupted. Max notice something on her hand was an arm. 'Is that an arm?' Max thought.
"I never seen someone who is a human rather than Marisa and Sakuya. They seem nice to me, but you. You may be nice but I can sense the appetite of you." Flandre said. 'Wait appetite, so that means she must be the one who eaten them.' Max thought.
"I was bored and hungry, no one to play with. But finally I've found someone who can play with me." She backs out on Max and then points to him and shoots her orb like danmaku.
"Whoa." Max dodges it. But that makes Flandre laugh and claps her hand.
"Yayyy you dodge it."
"What the heck a danmaku at me." But then Max notice that something was wrong.
"I'm hungry, I wanted to eat something. No food, no fun, no nothing. But I'm so hungry I couldn't take it. I want to eat someone, I want to have fun. And you are one of it." She let's go on her panda, brings out an arm and eats it. 'Oh man she's eating it so fast.' Max thought. Flandre finishes eating the arm.
"Your next." Flandre said. 'So she was the one who has eaten those corpses. Great now I'm facing a manic cannibal.' Max thought.
A/N: Randomness is random. Space mum, Flandre being a cannibal vampire. And others. Yea creative thinking I have. Fanfiction is fanfiction and story is story.
