Episode 1: Arrival and First Encounter
Prologue:
The Beheaded, a relentless warrior from a land beset by chaos and monsters, had finally achieved what many deemed impossible. Dracula, the epitome of darkness and terror, had been vanquished. The Beheaded stood amidst the crumbling ruins of Dracula's castle, a katana in one hand and the dual pan-chucks slung across its back. In its journey, it had acquired several powerful artifacts: Hattori's Katana, a masterful blade that could cut through almost anything; a collection of throwing objects that could be used for quick, ranged attacks; dual pan-chucks, versatile and deadly in close combat; and Marie, a loyal cat who had followed the Beheaded through thick and thin.
As the dust settled, a strange portal began to form before the Beheaded. With no voice to question or protest, the Beheaded felt an inexplicable pull towards the swirling vortex. Clutching its weapons and ensuring Marie was securely nestled in its satchel, the Beheaded stepped through the portal, leaving its world behind.
The Beheaded emerged on the other side, finding itself on a rooftop overlooking a bustling city. The night air was cool, and the lights of Musutafu stretched out beneath it like a sea of stars. The Beheaded's headless form tilted slightly, taking in the unfamiliar sights and sounds. This world was strange, yet something about it felt alive in a way that was different from the cursed island it had known.
Suddenly, a commotion caught the Beheaded's attention. Down below, a chaotic scene was unfolding. A monstrous slime creature was wreaking havoc, capturing a blond-haired boy with explosive powers. The boy struggled fiercely, his hands sparking with explosions, but the slime villain's grip only tightened. People screamed and ran, creating a cacophony of panic.
Without hesitation, the Beheaded leaped from the rooftop, landing silently on a lower building to get a closer view. It watched as the blond boy, Bakugou, fought desperately. The Beheaded felt a strange kinship with the boy's fierce determination. Just as things seemed dire, a towering figure appeared – All Might, the Symbol of Peace. With a single, powerful punch, All Might dispersed the slime villain, rescuing Bakugou and restoring order.
The Beheaded observed the aftermath. Bakugou was shaken but furious, his pride wounded by the rescue. The Beheaded decided to follow him, intrigued by his potential. As Bakugou stormed off, the Beheaded moved silently, shadowing him until he reached a deserted beach.
The beach was quiet, the waves gently lapping at the shore as Bakugou stood alone, staring out at the horizon. His fists were clenched, and his expression was a mix of anger and frustration. The Beheaded approached slowly, making sure its presence was known. Bakugou turned sharply, eyes narrowing at the sight of the strange figure.
"What the hell do you want?" Bakugou barked, his temper flaring. The Beheaded tilted its head, then slowly drew Hattori's Katana, planting it in the sand between them. It then mimicked a series of combat stances, indicating its desire to train Bakugou.
Bakugou's eyes lit up with a mix of interest and defiance. "You think you can train me? Prove it, freak!" he challenged, his palms already beginning to spark.
The initial skirmish was intense. Bakugou launched explosive attacks, but the Beheaded's agility and combat experience allowed it to dodge with ease. It responded with swift, precise strikes using the katana and throwing objects, pushing Bakugou to his limits. Despite his bravado, Bakugou quickly realized he was facing a seasoned warrior.
As the fight progressed, the Beheaded used its dual pan-chucks to disarm Bakugou, demonstrating a blend of offensive and defensive techniques that left the young hero-in-training impressed, albeit grudgingly. After a final exchange, Bakugou was left panting, his explosive attacks having been skillfully countered at every turn.
Breathing heavily, Bakugou looked at the Beheaded with a mix of respect and curiosity. "Alright, you've got my attention. What's your deal?"
The Beheaded sheathed its katana and simply pointed to Bakugou, then to itself, and finally made a gesture indicating training. Bakugou smirked. "Fine, I'll let you train me. But don't think I'm gonna go easy on you, got it."bakugou said
The Beheaded gives Bakugou a thumbs up as this was the start of a new journey for him in these new lands.
