Hey there, I didn't expect to have a lot of fans around this one. I mean I know Dungeons and Dragon is super popular but I never expected this idea to take off. Why hasn't been many Vox Machina fanfics? I mean there must be forum where people post ideas and story about Critical Role, I mean there is almost 100 hours if you watch all the livestreams. I mean I haven't caught up to the whole deal of campaign one, I like the Mighty Nein more due to the comics, but its so far great.
This will have a taste of Straw Hats Vigilantes but it wont be step by step.
On the Hero World.
Vox Machina saw their new surroundings and they were wondering where the hell they are. Like they have been in others lands and kingdoms, but this one seemed different. There were people of all races in there and some weird things on the streets, they were utterly confused.
''Where are we?" Asked Vex.
''I don't know.'' Said Vax
''Which kingdom is this one?" Asked Pike.
''I have no idea.'' Said Keyleth scared.
''Well, lets see what is the deal, come gang.'' Said Scanlan as everyone went to the city.
''Wait up!'' Said Keyleth.
The band of mercenary left the area that they were and started marching towards the city, where they would find chaos very soon.
In Musutafu
The group of course caught the attention of many people around. Even with the age of heroes some people had this type of sense. People were staring at the group, but they were ok. Some were wondering why they were dressed like they were in the middle ages, why Grog was shirtless and why there was a bear following them.
Vox Machina just saw the modern city in shock and surprise. They were scared and curious about every single thing in there.
''Look! The images are moving in that castle!'' Said Grog seeing an ad for a perfume.
''They must have some high sorceress in here.'' Said Percy.
''Yes, I bet this kingdom must be super rich.'' Said Pike.
''I am starting to feel like this is more that we can handle.'' Said Keyleth scared.
The people then started to take pictures or filming the mercenary, of course being from another dimension they had no idea what was going on and they decided to ignore it.
''Have you seen those weird stones that they are holding?" Asked Grog.
''Yes, its like a communication device but what they are doing with it?" Asked Percy.
''Uh I think its honestly harmless, lets just ignored it.'' Said Pike.
''I don't know. I don't like one bit of this whole thing.' Said Vex.
The people were amazed at Vox Machina, they thought that they were either some unknown group or a bunch of hardcore tabletop gamers.
''Look at those peoples.''
''What is with that style?"
''Maybe they´re cosplayers.''
''Look at that bear!''
''They must have trained him or something.''
''What smell is that?''
The mercenary kept hearing those noises and they were wondering if these people have ever seen a mercenary group before.
''Look, I don't like this one bit. I say we get out of this kingdom.'' Said Keyleth.
''Maybe we are a new type for them. Relax for a bit.'' Said Vax.
''Yes, come on Keyleth. Let's see what this place has to offer, I say we find a tavern and try to find what we can.'' Said Scanlath.
''Good, I could use a beer or three.'' Said Vex.
Then a giant explosion was heard from the other side of town, that left the Mercenary group startled as they prepared their weapons.
Boom
''What was that?" Asked Vax.
''It wasn't us.'' Said Scanlath.
The group then saw a monster, one with humanoid appearance and some weird horns in his head. He looked like he got a real beating and he was shouting in anger.
''YOU WON'T PUT ME DOWN HERO!'' Scream him.
The villain then created a powerful laser ball with his horns and blasted at a group of people wearing silly costumes. Vox Machina saw that and was baffled.
''What that fuck was that?!'' Asked Vax.
''I don't know.'' Said Percy.
''Well we better check it out.'' Said Scanlath.
Then they saw two people approaching, one was a man with a wooden armor and the other was a blonde woman with some purple uniform and some horns.
''You will not escape today laser bull.'' Said Kamui Woods.
''Yes, its time to face some good fashion hero justice.'' Said Mt Lady.
The mercenary saw that scene and they were both amused an baffled at what was happening right in front of them.
''This feel all corny.'' Said Vax.
''Well the people seemed to like it.'' Said Keyleth seeing the crowd reaction.
''I guess they are ´´heroes´´.'' Said Pike.
Soon the villain who was unfortunately named Laser Bull made another ball of pure energy and blasted at the heroes. Making Kamui Woods and Mt Lady being send flying towards a few miles away.
''Oh no!'' Said Keyleth.
''What a bunch of wusses.'' Said Grog.
''So bad guy on the loose and people wanting to be stopped….'' Said Vex
''I guess its our cue.'' Said Scanlan preparing his Lute.
The villain was ready to go on a rampage, when suddenly he was stopped.
''Hold right there…you.'' Said Vax.
Vox Machina was ready to fight and they weren't afraid of some douche with honors
''Who the fuck are you guys?" Asked Laser Bull.
''We are Vox Machina, the most powerful and famous band of mercenaries in all of the land.'' Said Scanlan.
The group didn't know that they were in another dimension, but they thought since the events with their last contract and saving the kingdom from a dragon should have them a bit famous across other nations. However, the villain had the same reaction as many other groups had a few months.
''never heard of you all.'' Said him making the group annoyed.
''What! How come you never heard of us! We have a kingdom!'' Said Scanlan.
The villain and a lot of people looked at the group in concern, they were talking like they were from a fantasy world instead of this futuristic world.
''What?! Are you sick on the head or something?" Asked Laser Bull.
''Maybe they´re from another area. News shouldn't have reach here yet.'' Said Vex.
''Oooh that makes a lot of sense.'' Said Grog.
''Grog, how about we take this guy horns out?" Asked Pike.
''Yeah!'' Said the goliath.
''Oh so you are all heroes wanna be?" Asked Laser Bull.
''Heroes, well we are still trying to get around being called that…but if the people want you defeated then we shall do it.'' Said Percy.
''Alright you funeral dickheads.'' Said Laser Bull making another attack.
The group dodged from that attack and they are soon prepared to take this asshole out.
''You all look like people you see at a comic con! What good can you all do against a real villain?" Asked Laser Bull.
''Keyleth, restrain this idiot.'' Said Vax.
''Sure!'' Said the half druid.
The woman started doing some enchantment and soon vines and others plants started to appear from the asphalt, pretty much restraining Laser Bull.
''What is this!? Some kind of flower quirk?" Asked him.
''Scanlan, he is all yours.'' Said Pike.
''Yes, tell me you look like you need some entertainment in your life so how about some…lightning!"' Said Scanlan making some electricity coming from his lute.
Laser Bull got hit right away from that attack and it hurt a lot.
''Urgh.'' Said him coughing blood.
''He is almost down.'' Said Pike.
''Oh yeah! My turn!"' Said Grog with a powerful punch and taking a tooth or two from that villain.
BAM
The villain was down, and Vox Machina has saved the day.
''Good, we didn't had to use most of our attacks.'' Said Percy.
''Yes, I guess not everything needs to be a combo moment. We just need good strategy and its our take.'' Said Pike.
With the rest of the city.
Most people saw a little bit of what just happened, but a few members of this group were able to take down this villain with seemingly no problem whatsoever.
Vox Machina saw those stares and look of wonder and just imagined what could have been going around these people heads.
''Hey what are you looking at?!'' Asked Grog.
''Calm down big guy, maybe they are just shocked.'' Said Pike.
''Or maybe they are surprised that someone took down this trash so fast.'' Said Vex.
The people then started to cheer for Vox Machina.
''Hurray, they are amazing.''
''Those costumes are awesome!''
''I don't know who you guys are, but you are all heroes.''
The mercenary group just blinked in confusion, they were cheering and praising them for taking down one asshole? Well that was unexpected.
''Uh I liked this place.'' Said Scanlan.
''Do you think we will get food?" Asked Grog.
''Maybe but lets keep this way. I don't want the good stuff out so quickly.'' Said Vex.
Vax grabbed Laser Bull and throwed him into the sidewalk, soon Kamui Woods and Mountain Lady appeared again much to everyone surprised.
''Thanks for all the help.'' Said Kamui Woods.
''Oh my, you guys smell horribly.'' Said Mountain Lady smelling the group odor.
''We don't have a good shower.'' Said Percy.
''Who are you all?" Asked Kamui Woods.
''We are Vox Machina my good sir and we are the best group of mercenary that you will ever heard.'' Said Scanlan.
The heroes were confused upon hearing that statement. Mercenary as in bounty hunters or other cases.
''Uh? What?" Asked the two.
Soon Laser Bull managed to use that interaction as a escape away, he didn't had any cuffs on him so he could still use his quirk.
''Ha! So long suckers!'' Said Laser Bull running away.
''Oh crap he is running among the crowd.'' Said Kamui Woods.
''don't you worry. I got this.'' Said Percy preparing his gun.
''Oh is that a neutralizing gun or….'' Said Mountain Lady seeing Percy gun and soon she was cut when he fired.
BANG
Percy aimed directly at the head, killing the villain immediately.
Boom
The entire crowd and heroes were studded, one of these people killed that villain in cold blooded nature. Meanwhile Vox Machina looked a bit annoyed, yes that guy was a dick but he was escaping so it was best he got shot.
''Honestly, you should have waited a little more. What an idiot.'' Said Percy.
The group then saw Mountain Lady and Kamui Woods staring at them while the crowd backed away in fear.
''What! He was going to retreat and attack.'' Said Keyleth in a defensive tone.
The crowd then ran away from the group in fear.
''Villains!'' Scream most people.
''What?!'' Scream Vox Machina confused.
Vox Machina were confused about that, they killed people in front of crowd before, but nobody ever called them villains or something like that. I mean there are times you need to kill an asshole, well looks like Mountain Lady and Kamui Woods weren't a fan of that because they looked pissed.
Yes, I know they were called villains before but this is in a over the top sense among the group. Like My Hero shouting out or something.
So yes, things started in a bad way for usual with Vox Machina. I know Percy killing a random villain seen a bit out of character, but I think he would have done that. I think any of them would have done it. Just because they save the kingdom it doesn't mean they aren't all dicks. They still kill and curse a lot. I stand by my decision.
Sorry if the names seemed a bit wrong and I couldn't remember Scanlan catchphrase when he used his spell. Does any of you remember.
Also, about the Vox Machina x One Piece story, I am making and its on the way. I am thinking of good backstory for the Straw Hats and in case you want to know they are called ´´The Straw Hat group´´, Luffy still has his hat a la D&D style, so I am good with that. I am planning on launched with two or three chapters.
