Currently my setting for the fanfic is based on the OVA more so than the anime, but I will take up certain elements there in order to expand the limited information from the OVA. This is mainly due to the fact that I believe the anime is much more hectic with little proper direction(as in the authors just stringed up some poor explanation and didnt know how to end it).
Also because it would limit the things I could insert such as other characters and also about the Otherworld. I have some different ideas for the existence of the Otherworld that the OVA can help me more than the anime can. For me I believe that its a lot more than just "a materialism of the girl's struggles" as it doesn't really explain why BRS is killing people while Mato isn't doing anything close to it.
examples so far would be Yomi having her eyeglasses, also her being more shy than in the OVA. I will also gather of course other characters from the anime and wiki, but for now she's the only one so far ive picked for this fic.
Also while Yomi has glasses, DeadMaster wont. Cause seriously, it makes her less intimidating and too "goofy" when she's supposed to be like very viscous. Yomi looks good in glasses, DM does not.
and I forgot to put a disclaimer: I do not own black rock shooter or any characters related to it.
'Why am I in this world? How did this happen? What is happening!?'
These were the thoughts currently going through the Rock's mind. She raised her right hand to her face in an attempt to ease the tension going through her brain, when she finally noticed something different about herself.
Her hand was more fair skinned instead of being deathly pale and was smaller than she remembered. Most of all, she had no scars. They didn't appear as clearly as the one on her stomach, but they were still there if you really looked at her closely. Something is wrong here... well more than what she already knew.
'... Wait, she said Mato, right? Could it be that I'm in her body?' To confirm it, Rock looked down at her body.
Yep she was in Mato's school uniform. The familiar blue and white uniform with a blue skirt, as well as black socks and blue shoes. She raised both her hands to touch her hair and noticed how they were short and equal in size, instead of being pretty long with 1 side being longer than the other.
'So that's what happened,' Rock mused. 'I'm now in her body, the reverse of that one time she was in mine to save her friend. Well, if that's the case I can just go through our connection again and...'
Rock closed her eyes and began concentrating on finding back her body in her home world.
...
'... Nothing. Either the gap in our worlds are currently closed or my body has- no that's impossible,' she mentally shook her head.
Breathing in deeply, Rock began focusing more on her own world and her body. After a few seconds later she still found nothing.
Nothing.
'No no no! Its impossible! My body should still be fine and I'l-'
"Mato! Are you alright? Please open your eye's and look at me!"
Rock felt her body being shaken by the shoulders and roughly removed the offending person. She opened her eyes to see that it was the green eyed- no. It was Yomi Takanashi, the girl that Mato was looking for, as well as the Other Self of DeadMaster.
Remembering her caused Rock to glare at the girl, momentarily forgetting that they were 2 different people. Yomi obviously caught the look she gave her, as she stepped back immediately and here eyes really began to start getting wet. Meanwhile the other girl had managed to close back her mouth, but still looked dazed at the events that transpired.
"... I need to get out of here," Rock jumped from her position on the bed and landed on the floor slightly shaken yet standing.
The body wasn't as good as her original one, as she should have expected. It was also a lot slower...
Rock quickly shifted her body despite the rough landing and sprinted towards the door. The brown haired girl, Yuu Koutari, snapped out of her stupor and tried to block her path. Rock almost tried pushing her over, but thought better of it and just sidestepped away from her.
Mato's body may not be as good as Rock's own, but it was certainly fit and athletic due to her being the star player of the basketball team. So Rock didn't face much difficulty in avoiding Yuu unlike what she did earlier. And to prevent herself from being chased, Rock decided to lightly push Yuu just as she was trying to grab Rock, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground, thankfully with her arms catching the floor.
She quickly bolted through the door, not daring to look back at all the damage she may have caused. 'I'll just try to fix all the damage I've done later, for now I need some time to think,' she rationalized. Luckily classes seemed to be over as there were no students to be seen as she exited outside the building, so it was unlikely for those girls to get help soon. 'Hopefully they don't ever.'
After a while of running, Rock found herself up on some hill. She dully noted that this was that very hill when she and Mato first met. Speaking of Mato...
Rock sat down cross-legged and began concentrating again. This time however instead of looking for her own body, she tried looking for Mato.
...
There! Some faint connection. It didn't seem to lead her back to her home, actually it didn't really tell her anything. But it did confirm that Mato still existed, perhaps in her own body or somewhere else.
Rock felt her body relax a bit. At the very least, she didn't end up destroying that girl's life and existence with her presence. That was one good thing she learned today. Rock let her body lie on the hill, feeling the coolness the ground and firmness of the grass as well as watching the sun start to set down. It had been a very long time since she felt all of these things...
Rock let out a sigh. 'Now what?'
