Radiant ZAFT GX
Chapter 3: Mysterious Tails doll
We begin our story in a large asteroid belt where a pair of giant robots are in the middle of a battle. The Soulgain Persona a muscular giant blue and white with red accents super robot with a white mustache and two horned skull mask familiars on its side designed for physical combat being piloted by Axel Armer a human with messy red hair wearing a white jacket and black shirt in the front and giving him support in the rear Alfimi Einst a humanoid Einst resembling a petite young girl with light blue hair and red eyes. Fighting off a black Persoenlichkeit a mecha with numerous demonic masks covering it and a monstrous appearance.
Currently the Soulgain is on the defensive avoiding the numerous lasers from the Persoenlichkeit even using its skull familiars as shields.
"Damnit! This bastard is though!" An annoyed Axel blurts out.
"But... not very bright... Axel." Alfimi says in her typical slow and quiet tone of voice.
"To avoid a rebellion perhaps?" Axel muses. "Never mind that. Its time for a counter attack, Alfimi!"
"Right!" Alfimi said as she powered up the the Soulgain causing it to teleport behind its foe. And then the Soulgain's right forearm begins to rotate at high speeds gathering a blue flame around its fist.
"It's over! Genbu Geist!" Axel yells out as he launches his right forearm and fist into his foe's back tearing clean thru it causing it to ignite in a blaze of awesome.
"All Einst... activity... has ceased. They are... fleeing." Alfimi reports as the few remaining Einst warp away in fear.
"Good, still the Einst are showing up again, why?" Axel asks as he catches his breath. "You wouldn't happen to have any ideas Alfimi?"
Alfimi nods no saying. "I don't know... what they are planning... anymore. I can't even... sense them when they appear... I'm sorry... Axel." Depressed to the point of tears.
"Don't worry, I just wish we could get to the bottom of this. All we've been doing lately is stopping the Einst where they appear. Anyways lets head back to the ship I'm sure that the doctor can figure something out."
"Okay... Axel." A cheered up Alfimi says while quietly thinking. "I'm glad... that I can't feel... the Einst... anymore. But I could... never tell... anyone that." Alfimi activates the teleportation system of the Soulgain and it vanishes in a black void.
Meanwhile a man in a familiar black coat saw everything and could only smile at the situation. "It seems our experiments are proceeding well." The man said in a deep voice.
We now join our heroes Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala Shinn Asuka and Stellar Loussier who alongside Sayaka Miki are traveling by donkey cart to a haunted mansion in the forests of Planeptune, Gamindustri.
"Okay Miss Miki let's go thru this once more for the audience." Athrun comments as he puts both arms behind his head. "You want us to one, help you free this Madoka Kaname girl from a prision world. And two, help you murder the quote unquote bitch responsible for it Homura Akemi."
"Yes, I want that traitor twelve feet under! But I can't use my powers right now and even then I cannot beat the transfer student. That's why I need your help, basically I needed bodyguards with the power to screw the rules."
"Main characters?" Stellar asked. "Isn't it too soon for that discovery?"
"Who gives a damn. That's what the main character radar says, so there!" Sayaka angrily claimed clenching her fists.
"And what are we doing here in Gamindusri anyways?" Stellar asks.
"I heard stories about the Tails doll. An evil god-like reality warper capable of incredible feats." Athrun says.
Sayaka continues to explain "Yes, It lives in a mansion deep in Virtua forest and its capable of reality warping feats. It could restore my powers and make us immune to the influence of the transfer student."
"Still this Homura has the powers of a god how can we stop that even with the Tails doll help?" Kira asked.
Sayaka went on with her explanation by taking out a silver orb from hammerspace and saying. "With this, the dimension puncher." Sayaka then reveals the dimension puncher to everyone. "Use this on the labyrinth in its center and it will bring the whole place down restoring Madoka as a goddess. Then I can finally murder the transfer student." Sayaka said the last part with too much downright orgasmic glee.
"To finally put that demon in her place, Sayaka-chan... Sayaka-chan..."
"Boss you're drooling." Kira comments as he passes a tissue to Sayaka.
"Oh I see," Sayaka snaps out of her trance and wipes the drool of her mouth with said tissue. "Anyways i'm desperate, that's pretty much it. Also I managed to get the money to pay you all by playing pachinko during the time you were at the dock. And lent a hand in cleaning the mess this Carol girl left."
"I WILL BREAK HER IN HALF FOR MESSING WITH MAH BABY!" Athrun yells in rage slamming his fists into the cart.
"Hey jefe we have arrived." The driver a white and brown spotted bipedal cat tells the group as he points to a large mansion hit hard by the ravages of time. Barren, cold, and uninviting. With the sky suddenly turning dark and windy. And lightning striking regularly. "This is where I stop hombre. Unlike you I don't have a death wish. Messing with stuff that shouldn't be messed with. Asi que adios."
Our heroes and guest disembark from the cart and enter the manor unaware that they are being watched thru a crystal ball by someone. A four foot tall floating orange and white two tailed stuffed fox doll with a diamond shaped ruby atop an antenna in his head the Tails doll had plans for the prey that foolishly dared to enter his mansion. "Can you feel the sunshine? Fufufufu... It seems that some fools have entered my home. Let's see how long they last before they break."
"By the way how are we supposed to find this demonic doll?" Shinn asks.
To which Kira suddenly answers. "We ask nicely for him to appear and help us!" To the shocked and stupefied looks of everyone even the watching Tails doll who normally shouldn't emote by virtue of being a doll. "Pretty please mister Tails doll can you hear us out? We need your help. A demon has taken over Boss' world and only your power can give us a chance to fight back. So pretty please help us Mister Tails doll." Kira asks with the sweetest tone possible and puppy dog eyes.
"Really Ichabod? Why not offer him tea and cookies as well?" Shinn sarcastically responds to Kira's plea. Something that Kira genuinely stops to consider to Shinn's awe. "You're screwing with me right?"
"Let's hurry up and find it people." Sayaka said in a stern voice. "Thankfully the character radar has an app for this situation. Just switch from main character to eldrichtian abomination and, there. According to the radar the Tails doll is three floors up."
"Stellar merely muses to herself how the radar work as it still looks like the dragon radar. But as the party moved forward a trap door opened beneath their feet swallowing them into the darkness.
Athrun and Sayaka wake up in a dark moldy room somewhere in the basement. After getting up and getting their bearings straight Athrun tries to communicate with the others to no avail. "Well we're screwed."
"Thank you for your positive assessment of the situation." Sayaka blurted out in a sarcastic tone.
At that moment the two notice a black puddle that floats upwards taking the shape of the Tails doll who in a sing song voice says "Can you feel the sunshine?"
"Are you the Tails doll?" Athrun asks of which the abomination simply moves forward with glowing red eyes
"Yes, and no." Tails doll said.
"And what does that mean? Speaking of which, where are Kira, Shinn, and Stellar?" Athrun furiously asks Tails doll.
"The boys and girl are fine in the fly OF DESPAIR." Tails doll explains as he opens a portal showing Shinn and Stellar falling in a bottomless pit with eyes and mouths screaming curses at the duo with Shinn bored and Stellar enjoying the whole thing like a little kid in a roller coaster. "Yes! Watch as they suffer terror upon unholy terror in the fly OF DESPAIR. Tails doll attempts to threateningly boast to Athrun as he shows the duo of Shinn and Stellar not being scared.
Sayaka steps forward and says "Look Tails doll I really need your help. Your power can match Homura Akemi's as a demon and even exceed it." Sayaka then gets down on her knees and begs. "So please help me save Madoka."
"What's in it for me?" Tails doll bluntly asks Sayaka who stares at him like a deer in the headlights.
"I did not think this thru at all have I? Sayaka remarks as she lowers her head in shame.
"Never mind, you, Athrun Zala! If you can defeat me we can discuss helping the girl over there. Tails doll says in a booming voice as he floats backward and into the air. "Now show me the power of a main character!"
Athrun readies his beam saber and goes in a defensive stance when Tails doll begins firing red energy beams first one at a time as if testing his foe which Athrun blocks with his beam sword only for it to explode launching him into a wall. Tails doll then summons seven more beams above him and says. "Show me your protagonist power already little man, or else you will die." And fires those beams straight at Athrun each landing straight at him.
Sayaka yells out "Athrun!" as she rushes to him only to run into a barrier. "owiee..."
"I don't think so." Tails doll said as the smoke cleared only for a beam to come out of the wreckage and hit Tails doll in the head causing him to stagger.
"Yeah, how do like that muthafuc-yaaaaahhhh! Athrun boasts before getting smacked around the walls and floors by a graviga and move psynergy combo and being unceremoniously dropped on the floor.
Tails doll merely says "git gud." as we switch scenes.
Kira wakes up in the attic of the mansion. Looking around he finds oddly enough Tails doll in the center of the room surrounded by a glowing green aria shaped like a circle with a pentagram inside. And showing a screen of the events of both the basement and the fly of despair.
"Its the fly OF DESPAIR. With all caps on the latter parts." Tails doll corrects to which I say whatever.
Tails doll noticed Kira and says "So you're awake. The show just started so I suggest you sit back and relax. After all i'm the goddamn Tails doll. Attacking me, is suicide."
Back at the fight Athrun is badly beaten when Tails doll gives him an offer. "Athrun Zala how about a handicap? I bring your two friends inside the fly OF DESPAIR to help you out." Athrun very quickly agrees to the idea with a quick and loud yes leaving Tails doll stunned and at a loss for words. "W-w-wait that's it? No prideful speech, no questioning if this is a trap, just yes?!"
Athrun yells back. "Are you gonna do it or not?!"
"Fine..." Tails doll says before he raises his arms and summons Shinn and Stellar back next to Athrun with Stellar unaware that she is out of the fly.
"Oi Stellar, we're outside. "Shinn says, looks at Athrun and Tails doll and comments. "And it looks like we got inbetween some crazy ass jitt." Stellar booed and thumbed down the current situation as Shinn asked Athrun. "So Athrun what's going on?"
"Athrun scowled while explaining "This is the legendary Tails doll, he held you and Stellar in that creepy fly thing, and is challenging us to a fight. To top it all off he's still holding Kira somewhere."
"Well that's nice." Shinn said in a sarcastic tone as he unleashed his Ardonight buster sword before being electrocuted by "Tails doll's thunder spell which used Shinn's sword as a lightning rod to electrocute him. "(cough, cough) Not fair, talking is a free action, jerk." And falls down angering Stellar.
"Onii-chaaaaannnn!" Stellar yells out to Shinn as he rushes to him. Tearfully grabbing his hand she also gets hit by blasts of energy at a rapid pace only for them all to be dodged with ease. "Death to those who hurt onii-chan."
"Wait Stellar!" Athrun says trying futilely to stop her as she leaps towards daggers drawn towards her foe only to be stopped by Tails doll's stopga spell. "Dammit Doll how much MP do you have?"
"Enough" Tails doll says as Stellar suddenly begins to break free of her bonds. Of course before anything happens he simply uses breaks the spell and quickly uses firaga on Stellar to send her back down to the ground. "Not bad. But not bad enough. Your protagonist power is lacking."
"What is protagonist power anyways?" Athrun asks prompting a spark of interest from Tails doll.
"Protagonist power is the ability to pull off the impossible. For fate itself to conform to your whims. Your victory against that girl Carol wasn't due to your skills. In fact she could have easily destroyed you all.
It was the fact you were the main characters of this story that you won that time. Face it, you're just a bunch of idiots that would have self-destructed long ago without such blessings."
Athrun angrily stood up once more quietly saying. "B.S." And yells out. "I refuse to believe it! We got this far because of our skills! Because of our bonds! Not some mystical voodoo horsecrap!"
"Then why can't you beat me?" Tails doll responds.
"FUCK YOU!" Athrun yells as he fires from his beam rifle like a madman. Tails doll of course simply blocks them all by raising a barrier. The shots bouncing off and landing all over the place, until Athrun ran out of ammo. Athrun continues to pull the trigger several more times in desperation before he drops the rifle and Tails doll slowly moves in for the kill. Humming can you feel the sunshine while materializing a huge Rena Ryuugu style meat cleaver and holding it ...somehow.
Meanwhile in the attic Kira tries to stop Tails doll's attempts at murder. "Tails doll you have to stop these attempts at murder!"
"Tails doll merely chuckles telling Kira "If they really are the main characters this story needs they will survive. If not. They die."
"Then, I will stop you." Kira speaks out with determination in his voice.
Tails doll countering with a smug "how?"
"With the power of love and friendship that's how!" Kira loudly proclaimed without a hint of irony while generating an aura of brilliant light that injures Tails doll while giving his foe the pointer finger.
"I wont... be beaten... by such... an ASSPULL!" Tails doll tears apart at the seams in rage revealing shadowy inner workings suck as claws a mouth full of fangs and a massive increase in bulk and yells out. "I'm the Tails doll, BITCH! I eat starlight breakers for breakfast! And you! ARE! NOTHING!" Tails doll blindly charges at Kira who simply counters with a hug. Not stopping even after Tails doll draws blood by biting Kira's shoulder and clawing his back.
"There, there TD we're your friends. Everyone says you're evil incarnate but you're just lonely aren't you?" Kira says to Tails doll while hugging him as he returns to normal.
"That is so stupid. But some things never change regardless of the timeline." Tails doll muttered under his breath.
At that time the other Tails doll was ready to kill Athrun big ass cleaver in hand until his body starts convusling wildly and exploding in a flash of light dropping his cleaver.
"Is it over?" Shinn asked finally recovered although singed due to the lightning.
"I hope so!" Athrun said angrily. "Quick to the attic!"
Sayaka interrupts saying "Actually the radar shows that the energy signature from the attic is coming down."
"How can you tell the thing looks like a dragon radar." Shinn asks while looking at the radar alongside Stellar.
"The great Sayaka-chan just can that's why." Sayaka boasted while rubbing her nose.
"That explains nothing." Stellar comments as a shining light begins to shine down on the basement. Which only Athrun seems to notice, drawing out his beam saber. While Shinn, Stellar, and Sayaka bicker over the main character radar.
The light dissipates as Kira holding Tails doll appear from it to the shock of Athrun. "Kira, what is going on?"
Kira cheerfully responds with "The fight is over and TD has agreed to help us. Teehee."
"Don't you teehee me!" Athrun yells at Kira with the tone of a concerned parent "I was worried sick about you! And you've been cuddling with this murderous... thing?! What would your parents think if..." And Athrun also ends up hugging Kira with Tails doll squashed in the middle.
"Save the bromance for another time after all we need to talk business." Sayaka tells the Tails doll who is currently getting crushed between Kira and Athrun."
"Can't... breathe! (gack) Can't... feel... sunshine... (wheeze) In the end maybe the Tails doll isn't so invincible after all.
Sometime later everyone is in the living room talking over tea and cookies both made by Kira. Even Tails doll is eating them ...somehow.
"Delish! Sayaka-chan thinks Kira would make a wonderful wife!" Sayaka says as she eats a cookie causing Kira to blush. "Anyways Tails doll you can undo the alterations caused by the transfer student right?"
"Easy just stand over there." Tails doll tells Sayaka and points to an open space near the chimney which she follows and when she gets there Tails doll's gem glows and he saps her with her with it causing her to glow and transform into her magical girl outfit a blue and white outfit with a white cloak and a fortissimo shaped hairpin. But oddly no soul gem in her body.
"Allright! Sayaka-chan is back!" Sayaka cheerfully yelled while jumping up and down while pumping her fists in the air.
"And improved as well. No need for grief seeds anymore after all." Tails doll adds.
"Yahoooooooooooooo!" Sayaka continues to yells out while dropping to the floor and doing the worm only to be frozen still by a beam fired by Tails doll.
"Anyways Tails doll are you sure you can't come with us?" Shinn asks in a disappointed tone.
"Why would we wan't him around?! Athrun angrily complains
"Well think about how badass we would look like if we had befriended the real life Tails doll." Shinn answers pumping his right fist at chest level.
"It was Kira who befriended me not you." Tails doll said.
Shinn simply retorted with "Semantics."
"Anyways i'm able to keep track of you so i'll be able to help when needed." Tails doll explained "Also i'd like you to stay for a while to train. Your protagonist power is still iffy and the challenges that are yet to come will require mastery of those things."
"Protagonist power doesn't exist. But i'm willing to give training a shot." Athrun said while sipping tea. "But its gotta be after the mission ends."
"Wait, this protagonist power. It will help beat the transfer student?" A still frozen Sayaka asks to which Tails doll acknowledges the question telling her it will take a week. She then answers. "Then. We train."
To be continued...
Zakostation
This episode starts in the tv news set where SD Zako and Aliastheabnormal are sitting behind a news desk.
"Ohaio luckies welcome to Zakostation its your host SD Zako and" Zako cheerfully said
"Aliastheabnormal, author of this series, and perpetual NEET." Alias said with a tinge of depression.
"Wait, wait! Cheer up Alias because today we are talking about protagonist power. Zako blurts out trying to snap out Alias of his gloom.
"Oh protag power I see. To be blunt its like combining the force, plot armor, and deus ex machina and using it to do the impossible such as Kira's aura of friendship." Alias explained to an expectant Zako
"I see. But what about Carol's defeat? Was that really protagonist power?" Zako asked Alias somewhat confused.
"Yes, but Carol and Ver are also incompetent so that helped." Alias bluntly stated. "Anyways that's protagonist power, basically weaponized asspull."
Zako responds with "That was depressingly brief.." ...And recovers enough to plug the next episode. "Next time, a figure from Sayaka's past assaults Planeptune our heroes try to stop her. But is their training with Tails doll enough? Radiant ZAFT GX episode 4 Kyouko's rampage. The plot thickens!
