A/N: I never thought that there would be another Chapter! Thanks you for all the support you guys have given me! I never thought that a lot of people would read these one-shot stories, but it seems like this story has attracted quite a crowd… I will try to write more Chapters, no promises, though! Please don't kill me! This takes place at the beginning of Adventure Story! On a small note, I treat Adventure Story as a separate story line from Epic Battle Fantasy and Bullet Heaven. Once again, I hope you enjoy this Chapter!
"I know you're here," he said, pointing his sword at… nothing in particular. He didn't know why, but he just knew that she was here, even if he couldn't see her at the moment.
He was in a grassy field, with small trees growing here and there, and big, bouncy red mushrooms all over the place. He waited for a long while, and when he received no reply, he said, "I can see you, you know," It was a lie; he couldn't see anything besides all of the mushrooms that were around him.
Another five minutes passed, and he still received no reply, "Come on… Just come out, I don't have time for hide and seek…"
Suddenly, he turned around and jumped back, swinging his sword at thin air, as if he'd just been bitten, even though there were no monsters anywhere near him.
"God Damn it Phyrnna! Will you stop doing that?" He screamed at the air. He was thankful that no one was around to watch the scene unfold- he didn't want anyone to think that he was mental.
The girl, Phyrnna, smiled at him. She had sapphire blue hair and eyes, her angelic wings were also blue, but were of a deeper shade.
Matt had no memory of ever meeting her, but he somehow knew who she was… Or had he met her in the Kitten Kingdom? He didn't know why or how he knew; he just knew that everyone- besides him- was unaware of her presence.
She shook her head, "Nope," even if the other was around his age, she acted like a child, much to his annoyance.
He frowned at the other's reply, "Why not?"
"Will you give me one of your many swords?"
"No,"
Phyrnna smiled innocently, and asked, "Why not?"
He growled in annoyance, "Fine," he said. The girl annoyed him to no end, but no matter what she did, she couldn't seem to push him off the edge… unlike some other people he knew.
"So what is it this time?" Phyrnna asked. Matt looked at her doubtfully, knowing that the other probably knew more than he did, but he replied anyways, "Just Lance coming out of nowhere and taking Natz with him," he saw the other blink at this.
"That was really… random," the blue haired girl said, and it was his turn to blink. "Random?" he asked. Of all the words she could have used to describe his situation, she had to use the word 'random'.
"Never mind," Phyrnna said, and he narrowed his eyes, but decided not to push the matter further. "So what are you going to do about it?" she asked.
"I'm going to whack his *** so hard that he'll wake up in one-six-two-eight," he heard the other giggle, and it took him a while to realize what he just said. He shook his head in confusion- why did he always act like someone else when he was around her? It wasn't like him to say anything like that! It's like he'd become another person!
"Hey, at least it's not like Akron's rising, you'll run into Lance soon enough, there's not too many foes you'll have to face to get to him," Phyrnna said, shrugging as she did so.
"Yeah… Akron, he was a pain in the…" he trailed off. Akron? He didn't even know who or what Akron is! But why does that name sound so familiar? And why did he have a feeling that this Akron was very dangerous?
How much does this girl know?
It was confusing, he didn't know what she was talking about, but, at the same time, he did- Part of him had no memory of ever meeting her, or this 'Akron' guy, or anything, but another part of him, like Phyrnna, seemed to know exactly what was going on, what he was about to face, who he was about to meet and, most importantly, knew who she was.
It was a secret he couldn't tell anyone, anyone but this girl he knew so little and so much about.
And nightmares came along with these secrets- they haunted him to no end.
As if his companion had read his thoughts, he saw the other frown, and he could faintly here her mutter, "Not you, too…"
"I don't know why," Matt found himself saying, as if he knew what Phyrnna was referring to, even though he didn't, "I keep having all these nightmares- no, visions, of something really bad,"
He heard the other sigh, and said, "They're never good, are they?"
"Good? How can they be good!" He literally exploded, "How can they be good if they're about two gods destroying the world! How can they be good when they're about this ugly horned monster trying to drain the world of its life! How can they be good when… when…" He inhaled slowly, trying not to lose his sanity while struggling with his words as the other watched in silent and… sympathy?
"How can they be good when… when they're about your friends dying?" He murmured, knowing that Phyrnna would heard him anyways, " Natalie, Anna… god- even Lance- I saw myself digging them a grave and burring them god damn it! And no matter how hard I try to convince myself that it's just my mind playing ****ing jokes on me- it just- it just feels so real!"
There was a long pause after Matt's rant, and the two only looked at each other, but then Phyrnna lowered her gaze and said, "It is real,"
Her words rung true and false at the same time, and, again, he didn't know why. "How much do you know?" he asked. It was all he could think of at the moment; everything, him, the world, and his nightmares- he knew that they were somehow connected to her- and that it was somehow connected to something even bigger, but he didn't know what it was.
Or maybe he did know what it was, but something was stopping him from remembering.
"I knew it was a bad idea…" Matt heard her said, "I knew it was a bad idea to create himself in…" Phyrnna sighed and shook her head, "You should better get going now- I think Natalie is waiting for you,"
Matt sighed, too, but was somewhat relieved that the topic was dropped, "Yeah, I should probably get going…"
As the smile on her face returned, she waved, and said, "Goodbye, and good luck, on your journey," and with that, she spread her wings and took off into the clear blue sky.
Matt watched her leave, and as he ventured further into the woods, he knew that he would meet her again, and he knew exactly when and where, but yet, at the same time, he didn't.
A/N: Sorry for the slightly confusing concept in this chapter, but for those of you who don't get it, this is what I was thinking about when I wrote this chapter…
So, Matt in the Epic Battle Fantasy games is actually Matt R. But again, not quite. He shares some of his memories and what not since the two are pretty much the same, but since Matt in the Epic Battle Fantasy series also exists in multiple storylines in the games that Matt R. makes, he pretty much remembers all of it, but again, not quite all of it. It's pretty much the same with other fan arts and fan fictions that are about Epic Battle Fantasy.
Phyrnna isn't really an Epic Battle Fantasy character, but being that she's the composer of the series, and with her audios playing in the background, you would've assumed that she's hiding somewhere, but you just can't see her. Only Matt in the Epic Battle Fantasy series can, since Matt R. knows who Phyrnna is and all, and because that the two share some memories, Matt ends up knowing who Phyrnna is even though he hadn't really 'met' her.
So that's pretty much the concept of the fiction… sorry if I blew your mind… o.o
