A/N: This chapter will be kinda special to me, because when I'm writing this, it's my birthday! (June 1st)
BECAUSE THIS CHAPTER WAS STARTED ON MY BIRTHDAY, I'LL BE TAKING ANY Q/A QUESTIONS FROM NOW ON, SO YOU CAN DIRECTLY ASK THE CHARACTERS, OR THE AUTHOR (ME) THINGS ABOUT THE STORY.
Korst: Thanks for clearing that up. I had the idea of a media company that just re-sold existing media at the start of the story, so I just went with it.
Guest: Never before have I seen such quick character development. I found your comment very funny. However, I do have to add to the counter. It's nothing personal, it's just business.
Fire Turtle: Cappie is a Mooshroom, Naofumi is a Shiny Shellder, Jet is a Pidgey, and Sectonia is an Alpha Kakuna. Teleport from the Pokemon Series is a lot more reliable, Zero just has to have been there in order to teleport to the location. Perhaps, but realistically it's not worth it to use teleport to redirect attacks.

(PART TWO OF THREE)
Sectonia evolving was something I'd somewhat expected, considering that Weedle evolves at Level 7.
Speaking of my summons, The Tachyon Egg hatched, bringing my total summons up to Five! Four that want to fight, considering that Cappy just wants to live peacefully at home.
{Flashback - 6 Weeks Into Beacon - Saturday (Pocket Dimension)}
Inside the pen next to a pond, I sit down next to Cappie, Naofumi, Sectonia, and Jet, as I hold the {Tachyon Egg} In my arms.
"Alright everyone, This is going to be your new sibling. Be nice to them." I say, as the others nod. Naofumi just stares at the galaxy in the egg with wonder.
[Tachyon Egg is Ready to Hatch!]
[Hatch Now?]
[Y/N]
I select yes, and watch as the Dark Purple Galaxy swirls faster and faster within the egg, before stopping completely, as the egg cracks open, revealing a small black metallic dragon, with purple lines and yellow beady eyes.
[Tachyon Cloudragon Has Hatched!]
[Give them a Name?]
"Hello, Little one. Your name will be 'Omega'. You will be a dragon that will outlive time and death itself, ruling over the cosmos one day, as a protector." I say, booping the nose of the little dragon, causing the little dragon to make baby crocodile sounding noises in glee.
(A/N: If you don't know what a Baby Crocodile sounds like, search it up. They're so cute!)
I use {Observe} on Omega, checking her stats.
[Omega]
[Female Tachyon Cloudragon]
[Ability: LOCKED]
[Growth: Baby]
[Level 1]
[STR: 18]
[DEX: 27]
[AGI: 18]
[INT: 41]
[WIS: 30]
[CHA: 10 + 20 (Baby Bonus)]
[LCK: 13]
'Dang! This baby stronk!' I think, eyes going wide. Omega starts crawling around as Cappie walks over, and starts to sniff her with her big nose. Omega falls over on her back and gives more draconic baby giggles, warming my heart. I get two notifications, revealing some interesting info.
[Obtained Tachyon Shards x10]
{[Notice from the Admins: "Because you have Obtained a Monster Over Legendary Rarity, Epic and Higher Monsters will drop Shards related to their abilities. They can be sold, or traded for more items. They can also be absorbed, although results may vary."]}
[NOTICE: BECAUSE YOU HAVE HATCHED/TAMED A MONSTER ABOVE EPIC RARITY, {Monsterpedia} IS UNLOCKED!]
I check the Monsterpedia, as my eyes go wide at the amount of monsters I'd be able to tame.
[Monsterpedia:]
[6/100,000 Obtained]
[52/100,000 Seen]
I look back to see all the others playing, minus Sectonia. She's gotten bigger as a Kakuna. She's an astounding 6'2, and I think she's closer to evolving again. I use {Observe} on her, just to be safe.
[Sectonia]
[Female Weedle]
[Ability: Shed Skin]
[Growth: Baby (Alpha)]
[Level 9]
[STR: 22]
[DEX: 50]
[AGI: 2]
[INT: 29]
[WIS: 19]
[CHA: 14]
[LCK: 20]
[Poison Sting, String Shot, Bug Bite, Electroweb, Harden]
Sectonia is growing to be a large girl. She's an inch shorter than me as a Kakuna. I can't wait to see her as a Beedrill, considering she's THREE TIMES the size of a normal Kakuna.
Cappie, Jet, and Naofumi are spending time with Omega. Little gal is just sucking up the attention. Jet is getting closer to evolution, while Naofumi is nowhere near ready to evolve.
Pausing to take in the mountain top view, I take a deep breath in, and a deep breath out. I decided to take the Dragon Balls out of my inventory, and place them in their Hexagonal Shape.
"Rayquaza! Appear Before me, and grant my Wish!" I called out. The sky darkens, as Rayquaza appears once more, Staring down at me from above.
"WHAT ARE YOUR WISHES? SPEAK THEM NOW." Rayquaza Bellows down, as Omega stares up at Rayquaza in wonder. Rayquaza notices, and tilts his head down, giving Omega a little forehead kiss. Omega just giggles in response to the attention. "HELLO, LITTLE ONE."
"Rayquaza, For my first wish, I wish for the skill: 'Starved' From the Tensura Series!" I yell at him, as he turns his attention to me.
"YOU WILL NOT GET THE BONUSES FROM STARVED, AS YOU HAVE NO NEED FOR FOOD. IS THIS STILL OKAY?" Rayquaza asks, as I nod in response. "VERY WELL. YOU HAVE TWO WISHES REMAINING."
[DUE TO A CERTAIN ACTION, A SKILL HAS BEEN GIVEN.]
{Starved} {TENSURA} {Passive} [1/100 - 0%] (The Signature Skill of the Orc Lord. Anything you eat, you gain the properties of. However, you're always in a starving-like state, where you mainly focus on trying to eat.)
I use my {Fusion} skill, fusing {Predator} and {Starved} together, to make {Gluttony}.
[DUE TO FUSING SKILLS, A NEW SKILL WAS CREATED.]
[NOTICE: {Predator} AND {Starved} HAVE BEEN LOST.]
{Gluttony} {TENSURA} {Active} [1/100 - 0%] {One of the Sin Series. Devour all in your path. Can consume any target. If the target has learnable skills, Gluttony steals them.}
"Rayquaza! For my next wish, I wish for a Universal Fabricator!" I say, with a grin on my face.
Upon reaching level 50, I was introduced to the Gamer's Forums- created by none other than Han Jihan- where other Gamers across the multiverse could talk over this pseudo-internet. Apparently, being the only person to be Beta-Testing an exclusive version of The Gamer comes with a decent bit of fame. I'd made a couple of friends, three in particular.
One was a Hunter from the Monster Hunter series, who could steal the attributes of monsters he defeated. He was a battle junkie, with a wife, and a kid on the way. He was known for using Poisonous frogs to help kill monsters. His name was Gamakichi, ironically enough.
Another one was a Saiyan like me, however, he was in the Highschool DXD world, with an entire harem of girls from across the Multiverse. Cynthia from Pokémon, Monica from DDLC, The Milk Selling Hex-Maniac, you name it. He also used the Rosé versions of Super Saiyan, yet was not evil, which was interesting to say the least.
The last person was actually someone who was reborn as Twice from MHA of all people. He was originally a Naruto fan, and wanted to know how to get my Hoshigan. I said I'd trade the information, in exchange for letting me travel to his universe and steal All for One's quirk, so I could have an alternate version of Beelzebub. He said he'd think about it, because he kinda wanted to do that himself, but I told him I have a plan to share, so we're planning on meeting up when the first year of Beacon is over and they let us have that two month break.
Anyways, all three of them have told me that A Universal Fabricator is something every gamer should have. It helps Design, Create, and Build anything. From Iron Man Suits to DeLorean Time Machines. Any Gamer worth their salt had at least one.
"THAT WISH IS ONLY SLIGHTLY OUTSIDE THE REALM OF MY POWER. IF YOU GIVE ME 40,000 MP, I CAN GRANT THIS WISH." Rayquaza explains. I nod, and Hand over the MP.
[-40,000 MP!]
[+Universal Fabricator x1]
I pump my fist in the air, as Rayquaza quirks an eye at me… somehow.
"Rayquaza, for my final wish, I wish for the ability to give other people skills I've learned, at the cost of the skills levels!" I yell out, as Rayquaza nods.
"A FINE CHOICE. WISH GRANTED." Rayquaza yells to the skies. "THAT IS ALL. FAREWELL."
[DUE TO A SPECIFIC ACTION, YOU'VE GAINED A NEW SKILL!]
{Bestow Skill} {Active} [MAX] (From the Master, to the Student. Sacrifice a Level from a skill to give a copy of it to someone else. If the skill you're sacrificing a level from is MAX level, You do not pay the cost. You cannot use Bestow Skill on itself.)
Once again, the Dragon Balls fly off, and I summon them back with the ability, causing them to go back into cooldown. I use {Gluttony} on Five of the [Tachyon Egg Shards], unlocking a new skill.
[DUE TO A SPECIFIC ACTION, YOU'VE GAINED A NEW SKILL!]
{Time Manipulation} {Passive} [1/100 - 0%] (Casting Spells at 88 Miles an Hour. Allows the User to use Time Magic.)
I pump my fist in the air. That's one step closer to Immortality.
I put them back in my inventory, and meditate to get my MP back up. Sadly, Meditation was one of my skills that got nerfed a while back, so it's not as strong as it used to be. However…
[MEDITATION HAS REACHED MAX LEVEL. PRESTIGE AVAILABLE.]
{Meditation} {Active} [MAX] {PRESTIGE POSSIBLE} (Ommnn... Puts the user in a meditative state.) [Passive HP/MP/AP Regen: 200/s] [Active HP/MP/AP Regen: 500/s]
I prestige [Meditation] and [Fortune's Favor], unlocking their next stages.
{Meditation} {Active} [1/100 - 0%] {PRESTIGE I} (Ommnn... Puts the user in a meditative state.) [Passive HP/MP/AP Regen: 0.1%/s] [Active HP/MP/AP Regen: 0.2%/s]
[Fortune's Favor] {Passive} [1/100 - 0%] {PRESTIGE MAX} (A true nature is revealed. Tyche smiles upon you. Charges once every 30 days. Instead of dying, upon reaching -10% HP or lower, Revive with HP equal to this skill's level. (Charge: 1) [{Fortune's Favor}'s LVL x 1 = Revived HP %])
'
So Meditation gets Percentages back, and Fortune's Favor becomes Stackable. How Interesting.' I muse, before heading over to the group. Omega is sleeping on top of Cappie. 'How Cute!'
{Flashback End}
I knew I could easily destroy Salem, but there were a few things that needed to be done in the meantime.
Like finally meeting up with Raven Branwen.
{Flashback - 2 Months into Beacon - Saturday (RWBYverse - November)}
"-and yes, I suppose you can be in charge of the music at the Beacon Dance." Ozpin sighs, rubbing the side of his head. "Why you'd want to, is beyond me, but I agree that it'd be easier than paying someone else to do it."
"Sweet! Thanks, Headmaster!" I say, putting a box of his favorite tea on his desk. I turn to leave, but Ozpin calls out to me again.
"Miss Nigiro, before you leave, there is someone who would like to meet you." Ozpin says. He hands me a post-it note that has coordinates on it. "Miss Branwen has agreed to talk."
I nod, as I do something I've always wanted to do. I unsheathe the Yamato, slicing twice in the air, opening a gate to the coordinates Ozpin gave me. I straighten my back, and walk through.
As I walk through the portal, I find myself surrounded at all sides by members of the Branwen tribe, most of them pointing weapons at me. There's bits of snow in the area, and I'm
"Gee, this feels familiar." I snort, as someone kinda familiar enters my eyeline. I walk through the crowd, as Limitless just forces all the blades out of the way, and walk right up to Vernal.
We both stare at each other for a while, I can feel some of the other members of the Branwen clan attempt to attack me from behind, resulting in absolutely nothing.
"...So you're Vernal." I start, as she becomes more focused. "...Hold on one moment."
I open a portal once again, causing Vernal to raise an eyebrow, as I grab the back of a familiar elk faunus's shirt, pulling them through.
"Ey! Zeezee! What's the big idea…?" Fawn starts to yell, before realizing where we are. She locks eyes with Vernal, as all the blood drains from Vernal's face. She looks like she's traumatized.
"VEEVEE!" Fawn yells, tackling Vernal to the floor, as Vernal tries and fails to get up. "I missed you! How've ya been?"
"F-Fawn?! What are you- Not in front of the visitor!" Vernal says, face going crimson as she's trapped between the grass and Fawn.
"Aww, you know you like it~!" Fawn says, as Vernal tries her hardest to get out, and fails.
I chuckle at their antics, as I lock eyes with the person I came here to see. I activate {Observe}, and raise my eyebrow at her information.
[Raven Branwen]
[Thieving Maiden]
[Level 128]
I narrow my eyes at her, as she does the same through her mask.
She leads me into a tent, littered with maps on boards showing trade routes, hiding spots along said trade routes, and more. We both sit at a table, as four members of the clan are standing behind Raven, obviously standing guard. I cross one of my legs over the other, and wait for Raven to begin.
"You're much earlier than expected." Raven begins, lightly tapping her finger on the table. "How did you get here so fast?"
"That's none of your concern. I'm here for business, and business only." I say, feeling irritation boil inside of me.
Raven Branwen has always been a character I've never liked. Her family needed her the most, and she left. Then she thinks she has a right to worry about Yang when she's already an adult? It's always rubbed me the wrong way. She lives a life of Banditry, and claims that; 'The Strong Live, The Weak Die'.
"Fine. What does one of Ozpin's brats want with me?" She starts, Her mask basically useless due to the Hoshigan. "If Ozpin sent you to recruit me into his inner circle, he's dumber than I gave him credit for."
"I'm not here because Ozpin sent me." I start, smirking at Raven. "I'm here because I need two things. One, the Location of Adam Taurus. Second, to use your Portal ability. Not now, but sometime in the upcoming year."
"I'm not a free ride, and I have no idea where Taurus is. Why on earth would I help you, in the first place?" Raven's brow furrows.
"Because I'm going to Kill Salem." I say, leaning back. Raven scoffs, as expected.
"You're going to die if you go there. You're nothing but an arrogant child with delusions of grandeur. I've seen what that witch can do, and there's no stopping her." Raven says, with a voice that sounds almost scolding.
"Spoken like a true coward, as expected." I say, as the Guards around Raven tense, and put their hands closer to their weapons. I exhale, and clench my teeth."I'm going to be straight with you, Raven…"
I reveal the Hoshigan, as the surroundings become dark, and oppressive for the Guards and Raven. The Hoshigan allows me to use Genjutsu, so I use it to echo my voice so it sounds like it's coming from everywhere at once.
"If you didn't matter as much as you do to Fawn, you would've been dead the second I arrived. You disgust me. All the power of Spring-" Raven's eyes slightly widen at that part. "-Yet all I see is someone squandering away in their own corner of the world. A little cockroach praying they don't get stepped on."
I use a bit of Time Magic to slightly slow things down, and then activate Super Speed. I unsheathe the Yamato, and stab it into the table. The Yamato does its thing, and Separates the table into little splinters of wood, leaving it in a little pile in the middle of the room. Everyone jumps back, and draws their weapons.
"I've heard you follow a very specific code. The Strong Live. The Weak Die. Survival of the Fittest" I say, as I dispel the illusion. "By that logic, you should be dead. However, Fawn means too much to me as a teammate. She is the only reason the Branwen Clan is alive. But that doesn't mean I won't hinder your progress if you do not help me."
"You have two choices." I say, slightly levitating off the ground. "Option One, Tell me where Adam Taurus is kept, and use your portals to help me, once. After that, you'll never hear from me again, and the Branwen Clan can be left alone from me. I'll even donate some supplies from my company."
"Option Two. You don't help me, and I'll make sure this clan will never be able to earn a living again. Try to hijack a Caravan? Someone will always be there to thwart you. Try to steal dust from a store? Someone will always be there to stop you. If you go to Adam and warn him about this, I'll know, and I will unleash the full might of what I'm capable of on your clan, who you try so hard to protect."
"The difference between you and me, Raven? I'm willing to get my hands dirty if it means the mothers, the fathers, the children, all over the globe get to sleep without worrying if they'll die to the Grimm the next day. I'm willing to put what I care about on the line to make this world better. I don't care If I'm made out to be the villain, as long as I know I'm doing the right thing."
[DANGER!]
I let my voice stop echoing, as Raven's face and eyes are red, and filled with anger, as she uses her sword to go for the neck.
She's angry. Too easy. Like Mother, Like Daughter.
I use a bit more Time Magic and {Superspeed} to bring the Yamato in the path of Raven's Dust Katana. The Yamato cuts through the Katana like a hot knife through butter, as I then tap the Yamato on Raven's hand, cutting it a bit, as the Yamato responds to my will.
'Separate the Spring Maiden's Powers from Raven Branwen.' The Yamato does such, as a small, Pink and Red wisp flies around the room, before {Gluttony} absorbs it.
[DUE TO A SPECIFIC ACTION, YOU HAVE GAINED A NEW SKILL!]
[DUE TO A SPECIFIC ACTION, YOU HAVE GAINED A NEW TITLE!]
{Blessing of the Spring Maiden} {Active} [1/100 - 0%] (One of the Four Maiden Powers. Allows a 250% power bonus, and 50% cost reduction when using Plant-based Magic.}
{Spring Maiden} [TITLE] (Acts like a Transformation. When in Spring Maiden Mode, Mana Regen is Doubled.)
Raven falls to her knees, and forearms, panting like she's out of breath.
"What… Did you do?" Raven Demanded, looking bloodthirsty.
"I took away your maiden powers. They'll be put to good use. I said I wouldn't kill you. Be thankful I'm not crippling you, or taking away your aura." I say, looking down at Raven.
Raven is shaking, and Observe tells me something interesting.
[Current Emotions: Rage, Terror, Fear, Slight Hope.]|
"I'll give you until March 30th to come up with an answer. If I do not receive an answer by then, I'm going to assume you've chosen the second answer." I say. "If you want these powers back? Earn them."
I walk out of the tent, as I see Fawn chatting with Vernal at a table, both of them pretty dirty from rolling around on the ground.
"Fawn!" I call out, jogging towards her.
"Hey, Zeezee! I wanted to introduce ya to Veevee! Zero, Vernal. Vernal, Zero!" Fawn says, a big smile on her face.
"Nice to meet you." I say, quickly. "Fawn, The meeting is over. I'm heading back, and I'm also your ride. Say your goodbyes, because we have to go."
"Aw… 'aight." Fawn says, looking upset. I cut a hole in the air with the Yamato, as Fawn and I both step through, into our dorm.
Gloss and Alice are looking at us, Agape, as the portal closes behind us.
"...Since when could you do THAT?" Gloss barks out, surprised.
{Flashback End}
I'm poking the fire with a stick, as some empty noodle cups sit next to me.
"Damn surprise quest, sticking me here. I'll get home… Sooner or later." I say aloud, as red trees red grass, mud, and stones surround me in the middle of this unknown forest.
A/N: and SCENE! There's going to be one more set of flashbacks, before a new part of the story kicks in. About the spring maiden powers, Zero's not going to keep it, but she is going to do something else with it.
Once again, please leave a review, because reviews are like fuel to me! Every review I get makes me wanna upload the next chapter faster!
