Part 5:
Bell was standing there, dumbfounded over the fact that he is in a new world. Even with all the magic and sorcery that went on in his own, the idea of someone traveling from dimensions to worlds was off the table.
Bell took another look at his surroundings.
"I figured you wouldn't believe me." Yuuki said, scratching the back of his head nervously.
"I mean…I do, but at the same time I don't want to. This world doesn't seem that off from the one I come from…"
"Well, if you don't mind me asking, what is the world you're both from like?" Karoi asked.
"Well, to begin with we're in familia's that are run by gods." Tiona stated.
"Familias? Are they by any chance like a guild?"
"Yeah. They're exactly like a guild!"
"Say…we have those things here too! I'm from the guild called "Caon", and Yuuki here is from the gourmet guild."
"Gourmet guild?" Bell repeated, cocking his head to the side.
"Yeah. Alongside fighting monsters, our guild's mission is to find some of the tastiest foods out there."
"Sounds fun! I wish that was what my familia did. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like it, and I respect my goddess Hestia a lot, but it would be nice to do some fun things in the guild every now and then."
"Speaking of gods, by any chance do you have any gods in this world?" Tiona asked.
"Well…only one. Her name is Ameth."
"Ameth?"
"Yeah. She's also the one who told me about you two being here."
"I see…and did she also tell you how we can get out of here." Bell asked.
"Her best guess was defeating the minotaur. I can't promise you that it's what you both need to do to go back home, but I don't see any reason to try it."
"True. I wouldn't feel very good about myself if a monster from our world messed things up here."
"Any idea where this minotaur could have gone?" Tiona asked. Just then, the gang heard a loud scream coming from somewhere.
"OH NO!" the scream said.
Without wasting any time, Bell, Yuuki, Tiona and Karoi headed towards the direction the scream was coming from. Once there, they found Kuka, the red haired perverted girl, painting hard as the minotaur was attacking her with his club.
"Oh , please don't squish me with that club. If you do, I'll go splat, and it will be oh so bad!"
"Hey, leave her alone!" Bell shouted to the creature, getting its attention. The minotaur turned around to face the gang.
"Oh, ! Are you here to see me get squashed to death?"
"No Kuka…no I am not." Yuuki said with a sigh.
"Say Yuuki, do you know that girl?" Tiona asked.
"Yes…though some days I wish I didn't…"
"Oh…how cruel. As to be expected from you !"
Before Kuka could let out any more perverted lines, Bell charged at the beast, trying to attack its chest, only for the beast to move out of the way at the last second. The beast swung its club down at Bell, but he was able to dodge it before it could do any damage to him.
Not wanting Bell to face the beast by himself, Tiona jumped into battle, throwing punches at the beast chest.
These punches didn't do much damage to the creature however, and the minotaur swatted Tiona away.
"Tiona!" Bell shouted, rushing over to catch Tiona in his arms.
"Thank you Bell!" she said with a smile.
While Bell was setting her down, Yuuki powered up Karoi.
"If you're gonna go to other people's world, the least you can do is learn some manners!"
Karoi hit the minotaur with a flurry of punches, all of them being blocked by the minotaur's arms. The giant beast didn't get off scotch free though, as it could be seen wobbling a bit after the attack.
"Time to go home, once and for all!" Yuuki shouted, swinging his sword at the minotaur. The two's weapons of choice were tied up…with Yuuki trying to get the club out of the minotaur's hand, while the minotaur was trying to get the sword out of Yuuki's. Neither one of them wanted to budge.
From behind Yuuki, Bell jumped up and tried to attack the creature, but at the last second the minotaur swung its club up, taking Yuuki's sword out of his hand. The sword almost struck Bell, but he was able to dodge it at the last second, though this caused him to miss the minotaur entirely.
The bull creature kicked Yuuki hard and sent him flying back.
"Yuuki!" Karoi said in a panicked voice.
Yuuki's body went flying back, hitting the ground hard and landing under a tree.
Bell tried to strike back in order to avenge his fallen friend, but was also struck by the minotaur and sent flying. After that, the beast went back into the woods to retreat.
"You OK Bell?" Tiona asked, quickly running over to check on him. Both him and Yuuki were knocked out, much to the dismay of their female friends. Things were not looking very good for the two at the moment…
Part 6:
When Bell woke up, he found himself in a different setting then the one he was in before. The place he was in looked like a resting area he'd find in his dungeons back home…only much brighter and fancier.
"Hey…" a voice said to him.
Bell turned to find Yuuki standing next to a girl with purple and blue hair, alongside a flower in her hair.
"Yuuki…are we dead?"
"No, you're not dead. Your bodies are still intact." the girl said.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Ameth. I'm not sure if Yuuki had mentioned me to you, but I'm sort of the goddess of this world."
"Really?"
"Key word sort of. I don't really have much control over the world, and for the most part my duties are to watch over Yuuki here."
"So this is the goddess Yuuki was talking about." Bell thought to himself. "I know Hestia is gonna be mad at me for saying this, but she is kind of cute."
"I normally only bring Yuuki here to connect and check on him, but I wanted to bring you along as well. I see that down there you two aren't having such luck with the minotaur."
"Sadly the case." Bell said with a heavy sigh.
"Well, luckily for you I've found a solution that may help you defeat this creature and get back home. If it's alright, can I see your dagger?"
Bell handed Ameth his dagger to Ameth. Once in her hands, Ameth studied the blade, looking at it closely.
"I must say, this is quite the blade young man."
"Thanks…but it's my goddess who gave it to me."
"Goddess?"
"Yeah, my goddess Hestia. She's the leader of my familia."
"I see…quite the world you got over there huh? Anyway, in case you're wondering, I'm giving some of your knives powers over to Yuuki. It won't affect it in any way and it's only temporary, as I feel this is the best way that you two can beat that minotaur and get back to your world." Ameth explained.
"This is also because Yuuki can't power you up like he does with the many girls of this world."
"I think I saw you do that to that one girl in our fights with the minotaur. What is that power exactly?" Bell asked.
"To make a long story short, I'm a princess knight, and as a princess knight I can power up the girls and boost their status to make them stronger."
"I see…"
"Speaking of, that's what I'm going to give you as well, Bell."
"The princess knight's power?"
Ameth nodded.
"You can use it on the girl that came with you, simply by focusing on her, and giving her strength."
"I see…I wouldn't mind taking this power with me back home. I'd love to give my friends more strength when we get into a bad situation."
"Glad I'm not the only one." Yuuki commented with a chuckle.
"Having said all that, I want you two to be quick about this." Ameth said in a stern tone.
"For the most part Bell, your appearance in this world hasn't caused the world too much of a problem, but I'm afraid that if you stay here longer, especially with the powers I've given you…things will get bumpy at best…"
"And at worst?"
"I'd rather not say…"
"Very well then. We'll be sure to take this minotaur out once and for all Ameth." Yuuki stated.
"I wish you both the best of luck."
When Yuuki woke up, he was in Karoi's lap, while Bell was in Tiona's. Once the two woke up, they were both hugged by the girls whose lap they were in, both of them worried sick about the boys.
"Thank goodness you're OK Yuuki. I was getting really scared back there!" Karoi said with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, we're OK, but we have to act fast." Yuuki said. The two boys huddled up with the girls to discuss the plan to take down the minotaur once and for all…
Part 7:
Speaking of the minotaur, after defeating Yuuki and Bell, it continued to go on a rampage in the woods, knocking down trees and looking for any people to attack. Little did it know that the two hero's it thought it defeated would be coming back, and in full force.
A powered up Tiona delivered a kick right to the back of the minotaur, sending it flying forward and into a tree. The minotaur got up, rubbing its head and turning around to see Tiona standing there, now with a white glowing aura around her.
"I normally don't like to attack people when their backs are turned, but you had it coming!" she said, before delivering another kick to the creature. While it was able to stop the full blow with it's arms, it knocked the creature back, much to his surprise.
"You're going down once and for all!" Tiona shouted, trying to punch the creature once more, hitting it right on its stomach.
The beast kneeled down to one knee, much to its own surprise. Where did all this power come from?
The answer wasn't too hard to find, as looking up he saw Yuuki and Bell, both with glowing aura's around them. Bell's was white while Yuuki's was yellow. The beast got up from its feet and let out a loud roar.
It was Karoi's turn to fight against the creature, hitting it with a fury of kicks and punches right to the gut. The powerful punches also sent the beast back flying, knocking over some trees in the process.
Karoi tried to go for a finishing blow, but the minotaur moved out of the way at the last second. The ground below Karoi's fist exploded. The beast struck back by swinging her club right at Karoi, and hitting her in the ribs. Normally, a hit like this would send Karoi flying back in pain, but she was able to land right on her feet. She still held her ribs though, but the pain wasn't as bad as it would be if Yuuki didn't power her up.
"Your rampage in this world is ending right now!" Bell shouted, running towards the creature. Alongside him was Yuuki. The two fought with the creature, striking it here and there while the minotaur tried its best to block the two heroes with its club.
It was no use though, Yuuki and Bell's attacks were too much for the creature, and even it's club, which shattered after Yuuki hit it with a hard swing of the sword.
"Ok Yuuki! Now's our chance!"
Charging at the creature at the same time with their weapons drawn, Yuuki and Bell were able to get their sword and knife into the creature. From there, the two shouted at the top of their lungs:
"FIRE BOLT!"
Fire came out of Yuuki's sword, as well as Bell's knife. The minotaur let out a roar of pain as its stomach lit up. Before long, the creature's insides were engulfed in flames, and the beast exploded before the two, disappearing with nothing left but small ashes.
After the battle, Yuuki and Bell both knelt down to the ground, exhausted, the aura's around their body disappearing.
"Man…I don't know how you do it…" Yuuki said to Bell through panting.
"Neither do I Yuuki…"
It was at this point that Bell and Tiona started to glow, the same light that would overtake Yuuki happening to them.
"I guess it's time for us to go then…" Bell said.
"Aw…but I wanted to stay here longer…" Tiona said.
"Same, I wanted you guys to participate in our summer bonfire." Karoi added.
"I don't know how you did it in the first place, but you're more than welcome to come back here. I just hope next time around the minotaur won't be coming."
Yuuki and Bell let out a chuckle, as the two lit up and disappeared.
"Well…that was certainly an adventure…now we can get to the bonfire…"
As Yuuki and Karoi turned around though, they saw that the forest behind them was a mess. Down trees here and there, branches from fallen trees everywhere, and of course the giant hole Karoi created when she hit the ground after missing the minotaur.
This wouldn't be such a big deal if not for the fact that the area they were in was exactly where the bonfire was supposed to be.
"Oh uh…"
"Yeah, looks like we created quite the mess huh?" Karoi said, scratching the back of her head nervously.
"What are we gonna do?"
"Simple, we're going to fix this place up and make it look all nice and neat."
Part 8:
By the time of the bonfire, the area it took place in didn't look like it had just been used as a battle ground for a fight between 4 heroes between a minotaur that came from another world.
The trees that were knocked down completely had their trunks turned into seats, the hole that Karoi made earlier was now the bonfire pit, and all the branches knocked down were cut down to become sticks for those who wanted to cook marshmallows or other meats on it.
"You and did an amazing job my lord." Kokkoro said. The little elf girl was wearing an hula girl inspired attire, with a green dress and a flower headdress. The same went for the other members of the gourmet guild, including Kyaru, who didn't mind being seen by Yuuki in a grass skirt and seashell top.
Yuuki on the other hand felt his face getting red as more people came, while he wore nothing but his trunks and flip flops, along with flowers on top of his head of course.
"Don't be so embarrassed Yuuki, I think you look good in that outfit. "Pecorine said, coming over to Yuuki. "I can even see that you've been putting on some muscle mass," she said, poking his bare chest.
Just then, Karoi called Yuuki over, asking him to dance with her. Yuuki headed over and the two began to dance.
"Why don't we join them? Come on guys!" Pecorine said.
"I don't think so. I mean I'm not much of a dancer-HEY!"
Despite her protest, Kyaru was drugged into the dancing party by Pecorine and Sheffi.
"Wonderful, the more people to dance with me, the better!" Karoi said with a bright smile on her face.
Kyaru tried her best to dance, but she was extremely nervous. All the people around her didn't help either. Noticing her being nervous, Yuuki went over to Kyaru and danced beside her, much to her relief.
"I hate to admit…but you do look good in that…" Kyaru said, blushing.
It was looking a bit rough due to the intruder that came from another world, but in spite of the challenges, Yuuki and Karoi were able to enjoy the summer bonfire.
Part 9:
Bell woke up to find Tiona sleeping soundfully next to him. Before anyone could mistake this scene for a scandal in action, Bell quickly got up and dusted himself off, thinking about the past events that took place in this dream.
"I wanna say it was just a dream…but at the same time it felt so real…" Bell told himself. "Are their other worlds out there to explore?"
Just then, Tiona started to wake up.
"Ugh…man what an adventure."
"Good morning Tiona."
"Ah, morning Bell, or is it afternoon still."
"I'm not sure, I just know it's probably best if we don't sleep in the dungeon again…" Bell said with a chuckle.
"I agree…"
From behind Bell was the voice of Tiona's sister, Tione Hiryute, and alongside her, Ais Wallenstein.
"Oh…hey Tiona and Ais, what are you guys doing here?" Bell asked.
"We wanted to see if you two were alright."
"We're fine actually. You see, we went to another world called Landsol, and there we met these two heroes called Yuuki and Karoi. The minotaur we were just facing in the dungeon was there too, but then Bell gained this power to make me more powerful somehow."
"Uh…Tiona…are you feeling OK?" Tione asked.
"Of course! You were there two Bell, don't you remember?"
"Yeah…but wasn't that a dream?"
"I hope not! Those two we met back there seemed really nice. Maybe they can visit our world one day."
"Alright you two, clearly being in the dungeon for too long has made you go a little loopy. Let's get you both out of here…" Tione said with a sigh.
Maybe one day Bell would come back to Landsol and visit Yuuki along with his many friends, but for now, it was back to business as usual for the young adventurer.
-writers note-
I hope you guys enjoyed the crossover. I was originally going to make it a crossover between Date a live and Princess connect, but I felt this one fit better. Having said that, I'm not going to change the status of this story to "crossovers" as said crossovers will be few and far between.
Hope you guys are enjoying the story so far. Many more chapters to come...
