- Mirellia's confusion -
"What do you mean my daughter has been... Accidentally adopted by a circus group?" Mirelia asked as she looked with a raised brow at her shadow, holding her cup of tea in the air, pinky finger outstretched
"It certainly felt that way with how they treated her, your majesty" the shadow pointed out as she had analyzed the interactions between Melty and the cast
"You might have competition, my queen, she has at least two different paternal figures to look up to now! And four different older siblings figure as well!" That made Mirelia almost choke on her tea, she hadn't considered that possibility, what if Melty ended up liking one of them more than her or her actual family? No that was absurd and impossible, she was a great mother and Melty loved Aultclay even if he was a idiot now... Malty however was disposable
"Did they do anything of note?" Mirelia asked as surely they had barely done anything to threaten her mother and daughter relationship
"They helped braid her hair and had a girl's night where they rode around with the fillolian" the shadow simply stated as Mirelia dropped her cup, letting it shatter on the floor
"Fuck!" Mirellia cursed as she knew how hard it would be to win back Melty's admiration now, fillolian riding and quality bonding time? She would have killed for some of that when she was a child! Most of the time she spent with Melty was helping her study to become the perfect princess with her stoic and strict tone, she could only hope that this circus group would become good friends to Melty and simply that
- bad husbands and good wives ft. Martha Mildenhall -
"God, my husband is such an idiot, what did I see in him?" Mirelia asked as she cooled herself down with her fan, as she sat together with her guest Martha Mildenhall enjoying some tea
"I know, men go through such strange transformations after a few years in marriage. Mine got obsessed with hunting and shot me thinking I was some elusive beast" the ghost lady spoke very nonchalantly about her death at the hands of her spouse, Mirelia gave a small nod but still felt a bit uneasy with it
"My condolences" the queen of Melromarc said but Martha simply waved away those sort of pity thrown towards her
"It's alright darling, I'm better now. It was just what I needed to start to look inward and outwards, now I have opened myself to my fellow ladies as well" she said chuckling a bit before taking a sip of her drink
"How's that going?" Mirelia asked curiously, it was not the type of question she would usually ask someone but to consider that the ghost had two on and off lovers in the form of a living ragdoll and a collection of sweets in human form, one would be curious to know how that went
"Well... Let's just say that a woman knows what it takes to satisfy another ~" the ghost lady gave a playful wink to the queen, who simply nodded as she took a sip of her tea
"Truly noted" Mirelia said dismissively but inwards she was very conflicted, why did she feel so flustered and curious all of the sudden?
- Meanwhile -
"... Hey guys?" Pomni said as she and the rest sat close to a campfire, wanting to get something out of her mind
"Yes Pomni?" Ragatha said as she looked at the jester
"If we are here do you guys think that the others are here as well?" Pomni asked the question that had been on her mind for the past few days as the other took some time to think
"The others? Like Caine and the NPCs?" Zooble said wanting clarification, although they would more than okay, happy even, if that wasn't the case. They honestly didn't want to see Caine ever again
"No, I mean the other players, the ones that are abstracted" Pomni explained as the rest went eyes wide, they hadn't thought of that, if whatever happened to the circus had sent them here, then it would stand to reason that the other players would have been sent here as well. Kinger in particular seemed to have gotten extremely laser focused as he stared into the distance horizon thinking about the possibility of seeing his wife again
"Ah... I don't know, maybe? Probably not, considering they would have been by our side when we woke up" Kinger said with a slight sigh, the rest felt bad for him but knew he was probably right
Meanwhile in Faubley, a group of pitch black monsters with a plentitude of multicolored eyes that glowed were wrecking havock among one of the districts, tearing down walls and buildings alike as they smacked people hard enough to kill them, and the ones that didn't die from the initial hit were then subject to horrible torture as their bodies started to glitch and fold upon itself in an unholy manner as the local knights and adventurers tried to fight them off from a distance as a group of mages prepared a judgement level spell in the hopes of wiping them off the face of the earth
- you won't be missed -
"Look, we might have done some teensy whiney mistakes-"
"Multiple people died and the economy has been at its worst ever since" Melty commented as she interrupted the heroes. This has been happening for a whole hour now, they were being scolded for their actions by a ten year old and every time they tried to respond she would interrupt and say why their excuses were weak
"Whatever! We aren't going to be bossed around by a child! If you aren't going to treat us with the respect we deserve then we are leaving this country!" Itsuki shouted as he put his foot down on the matter, the other two legendary heroes nodding along. They couldn't allow themselves to submit to a child's will, they were heroes! Sure they had apparently caused so much damage to the country and its people that they would be working off debt until they were fifty, and apparently were causing a whole religious belief to fall but that didn't matter nor make sense! So if that's how the girl wanted to play then they wouldn't play at all, she would soon be begging for them to not do it
"Oh thank goodness, close the door on your way out please" Melty said almost all too pleased as she waved to them to go away, big happy grin in her face
"Why are you so nonchalant about this? We are the heroes, the only hope for your country and you don't care if we are going to abandon it?" Itsuki asked confusedly, this girl knew who they were so she had to know that her country of weak extras would die without them, after all they wouldn't have been summoned if they could handle the waves on their own
"Well, we have six other heroes that don't suck now, so I'm fine with throwing out three incompetent ones" Melty said as she looked upwards, the heroes followed her gaze and saw that on the balcony a floor above them were six monstrous individuals, each wielding a weapon similar to theirs, who upon noticing they were being stared, gave some awkward waves of their hands
"What?!"
- Different Master ft. Raphtalia (end of season 1) -
"So... You're the shield hero of another universe?" Raphtalia asked as she observed the shield heroine Ragatha, her appearance was very strange as a living ragdoll and inhumane but if Raphtalia were to judge on that then she would be no better than the people she despised. And Ragatha was a really pleasant person, from their brief talk and interaction, she had a caring heart and good spirit, definitely a good candidate to be a hero
"Yup" Ragatha said as she looked at the raccoon girl, thinking how much of pleasant company she was, she wished her own company were like her at times, specially Jax... But she wouldn't trade them for the world
"Hmm... You're a very lovely person! I'm sure the version of me from your world is lucky to have you!" Raphtalia said as she was happy for her alternative counterpart, sure she loved Naofumi and was glad he saved her but even she had to admit that at times he was a real bother to deal with, what with the whole always grumpy and having very malicious thoughts she had to shut down before they could take off and become a reality
"Yeah about that... I don't know you from my universe, I never met any Raphtalia or raccoon girl like you..." Ragatha said with a heavy heart, she hadn't encountered any demi-humans before and much less a raccoon one, it was a shame, Raphtalia seemed really nice and would be a good friend to hang with, though how that would work with their bizarre entourage of mentally unwell people made her think that maybe she was better off without them
"Ah! That... Makes sense, with your friends by your side you wouldn't have bought a slave like me to fight for you like Naofumi-sama did" Raphtalia said with a bit of saddened understanding, considering the circumstances around their summoning and situation it was clear that Ragatha's group would never have encountered her and much less buy her since she had companions willingly fight for her. It was sad but Raphtalia knew that she couldn't have expected herself to get a happy ending in every universe
"You're a what?!" Ragatha shouted in surprise as Raphtalia perked up, before awkwardly scratching the back of her neck while smiling, that would be a bit hard to explain
- Motoyasu and the abstracted monstrosity -
Motoyasu Kitamura, summoned hero of the legendary spear was making his way inside a cave to deal with a monster problem in this small remote village of whatever its name was. From what the village lord said, the creature appeared a few days ago and has situated itself on the magic crystal mine that was their main source of income, they tried to fight it but failed to defeat it because of the strange status effect it causes on someone, making them lose access to their magic and causing their bodies to contort in unholy ways as glowing cracks appeared on their skin, having to put down some of their own people because it was more merciful than keeping them living in that state as no healing potion or magic made the infection go away
Motoyasu saw that as the usual type of sob story for a monster slaying quest to justify its existence, If Motoyasu was being honest, he was only doing this to unlock whatever weapon form the creature gave as whatever status effect it caused sound very strong and useful, and it would probably give him a heads up against Ren and Itsuki to make him the most powerful hero
He arrived in a very dark area that he could barely see, he looked around before seeing the faintest light coming from the ceiling as he decided with his non-existent wisdom to throw his spear at it to see if he could make it glow more as he thought it was a hole in the ceiling. He threw his spear at it, causing it to make the glow illuminate the entire room as he had struck a magical crystal as a chain reaction caused the other small crystals to glow, it revealed that he was in a large open area of the cave for mining and that his target was right in the middle sleeping, but now had unfortunately woken up
It was a weird creature, being a massive, black monster consisting of a semi-amorphous mass of jagged, polygonal spikes that rapidly shift and roil about, appearing somewhat iridescent like oil being also covered in glowing, multicolored, unblinking eyes that shift around wildly. it was no monster he recognized from Emerald Online, but that might have been because it was a secret, the creature noticed Motoyasu's presence and let out a bellowing roar that echoed through the cave as it charged at the spear
"Oh? Well then beast, take this! [Air strike spear]!" Motoyasu shouted as he pointed his spear at the monster as a red energy spear appeared and flew in the monster's direction, impaling it on one of the eyes as it shrieked in pain
"Aww, that hurts? You're lucky I didn't unlock [Chaos spear] yet" Motoyasu taunted as air strike Javelin was a weak skill that would be useless once he got one of the better similar skills but for now it was doing it as the energy spear disappeared and the monster just went ham, stomping at the ground before trying to crush Motoyasu as the spear hero dodged out of the way before poking another one of the creatures eyes, narrowly dodging another attack as he rolled to get distance and get himself back up
"Man, you're covered in weak spots! Those villagers were struggling against you? [Air strike spear]!" He mocked as he launched another spear but this time he missed as the creature finally got to him and slammed one of its front legs against him, sending the spear hero rolling to the ground
"Ouch, okay that hurts a little but you will not-" Motoyasu stopped speaking as he saw his status magic, it was glitching as the numbers and letters were all mixed up and a strange glitching effect covered parts of his vision
"What the hell? Doesn't matter, [air Strike Spear]!" Motoyasu shouted as he pointed his spear at the creature ready to blast it to hell with his skills
[Error: no feedback ping from legendary spear, unable to fulfill action. Verify connection between user and weapon before trying again]
"Huh?! [Air Strike Spear]! [Air Strike Spear]! [Air Strike Spear]! Fuck!" Motoyasu cursed as the same error message appeared every time he tried using a skill, and when he tried to change spear forms the same message appeared
"Y-y-you... Glitched my weapon?! You're a bug or something?!" Motoyasu shouted as he looked at the monster before realizing he might be in more trouble than he anticipated, he noticed that his clothes also had started to have strange cracks on them with jumbled glowing pixels, and the fear of god came over him
"G-g-get away!" Motoyasu shouted as the creature came at him, he tried running but the creature followed him, he was booking it for the exit to maybe regroup with his team outside but the beast tackled him to the ground as he rolled on it, turning to see the creature looming over him as he tried crawling back but the monster slammed it's front legs on his, making him scream in pain as he saw his legs completely covered in a glitching effect and moving in ways reminiscent of a glitching in-game ragdoll and worst was that he didn't feel them or could make any movement in them no matter how much he tried
"Fuck! Fuck! Get away!" Motoyasu screamed in fear as he impaled his against its chest multiple times as fast as he could while the thing hit back at his face with its front legs, black ooze coming out like blood as he desperately walled on it, eventually the creature moved away whimpering as it stumbled on its own feet, and fell to the ground as the black liquid spread across the floor
[Foe killed! Exp gained $$#?]
[Error: correcting interference...]
The gem of his weapon glowed as a soft glow covered him as his status magic seemed to have gone back to normal and the glitching cracks on his body disappeared along with the pain, he sighed in relief as he was terrified of the effects being permanent like how it was to some of the villagers who had fought the beast, but it seemed his weapon could heal the glitching though he was informed that he got zero experience from slaying the monster
"Whatever, let me get the body..." Motoyasu saw the creature's body change as it shrunk down and took a different shape until its black form and multicolored eyes transformed into its original state... A fuzzy looking worm creature with orange and green fur that reminded him more of a children's toy than a fierce beast
"... J-j-jax? Where are you p-p-pal... Can you get C-c-caine? I'm feeling w-w-weird..." The worm spoke in a weak and defeated tone of voice, a surprise for Motoyasu as he assumed it was just a monster but it was speaking the same language as him, or at least something close enough to language that his spear could translate it, as he slowly approached it
"I can't s-s-see... My chest h-h-hurts... My m-m-mind feels like it was put on a w-w-waffle maker... I'm c-c-cold... And it's so d-d-dark..." The worm called out for help to anyone as every word that came from its not visible mouth was arduous to form and even more difficult to speak from all the pain he was feeling, Wyrmly was feeling awful in every sense of the word as his body seemingly gave up as he couldn't move, all of his senses dulled out as he was blind and deaf to the world around him as he thought he was still in the circus but he still felt a internal sense of pain from the abstraction even though his pain receptors were damaged, he just wanted his best friend Jax or maybe that nag Ragatha to come and tell him it was fine, he didn't know if he was abstracting or dying and he was so scared, he just wanted someone to check on him
Motoyasu looked down at the fuzzy worm, it was a pitiful sight to see but one that strangely confused him as one moment he was fighting a monster that could glitch stuff but now he was just staring at a strange toy-like creature capable of speaking. He was at a loss of what to do in here, questions plagued his mind at what was going on, wondering if this was all a part of this secret boss and if he had stumbled across a secret quest thread
"What the heck are you? Why were you a giant monster? Give me an answer now!" Motoyasu shouted as he picked the worm up and shook him, but Wyrmly didn't feel it, he couldn't feel anything but the cold feeling of dread as not even the slaps in the face motoyasu gave him had a effect, the nerve damage he suffered from the abstraction was too extreme. Motoyasu dropped him to the ground but that didn't get a reaction from the worm
"Caine... Caine... Please... anyone...I'm scared..." Wyrmly responded as he whimpered as tears formed in his cartoon eyes, Motoyasu looked at the sad display and decided it was best to end it as the worm didn't seem to be going to be able to give him answers and he was hired to slay a monster after all and even if a worm could talk, that didn't make it any less a monster
"... Whatever, just give me a good spear form" Motoyasu mumbled as he sank his spear through the worm's head as red blood poured out from it instead of the black one from before, Wyrmly making a few more noises as he fell dead on the floor, as motoyasu went and absorbed the remains to his spear
[Fuzzy Wyrm spear] (unlocked)
Plus 20 agility and plus 15 earth damage
[Passive ability: movement through crawling increase (big)]
[Skill: Fuzzy poke: the spear tip becomes fuzzy and stretches outwards to poke enemies, causing them to have an itchy sensation all over their bodies]
Motoyasu looked at the spear and internally cursed at how useless it was, he picked a healing potion from his inventory and drank it to heal the damage he took in the fight as he walked out of the cave, seeing his party members waiting for him outside. His annoyed expression and roughed up appearance not going unnoticed
"Motoyasu-sama, welcome back! Did you defeat the monster?" Malty asked as she came to his side, voice sweet as honey laced with poison as she had a innocent expression on
"Yeah I did, but it wasn't worth it, I got no experience, the weapon form it gave was thrash and I got tossed around by it, if the pay isn't good I'm calling this the worst day I had so far" Motoyasu let his frustration be known as he was not in the vibe of sweet talking his experience to look better in Malty's eyes, he had signed up for a easy mission with a possibly exotic reward and instead left beaten, filled with questions and useless prizes
"Oh don't worry about payment, I can discuss it with the lord, why don't you just go back to the inn and relax for a bit?" Malty said as she didn't know what happened in the cave but she didn't care either way, now she had much more of a reason to pressure the village for a hefty payment
- animal crossing -
A slave cargo moved through the dirty road as the demi-humans inside the cages stood there in place, broken and saddened as they were about to be taken to the main shop in the capital city to be sold out to some filthy and malicious noble to either work until they died or have unspeakable things be done to them.
The carriage was shaken by a sudden blow, the slaves were scared, even more when they heard what sounded like fighting that soon ended. Someone opened the back of the carriage as light shined to the inside of the dark storage the slaves were in, as their eyes adapted to the sunlight they saw that the one who had opened the carriage was... A hamster woman in a red and blue jester gets up
"Don't worry, you're safe now!" Pomni the hamster said as she hopped inside the carriage and broke the locks of the cages with her claws, motioning the slaves to exit as the slaves were helped out of the carriage by Zooble who was a horse person with multicolored patterns in her fur, and Gangle that was a red serpent woman with a natural formation of white scales on her face that looked like a mask
After getting all of them out of the vehicle, the slaves saw an owl man with purple robes helping tie up the slavers riding the carriage with the help of a lilac rabbit. That's when a sheep woman in a blue stitched up dress approached the group of slaves
"Huh... You guys seem to be more beaten up than sick, a simple healing skill should do it" Ragatha the sheep said as she raised a hand and the slaves were covered in a green glow, which cured all their more physical injuries
"Now to get rid of the slave seals" she said before casting a different skill that covered the slaves in a white glow as they saw the purple mark in their chest disappear as they felt the weight of the curse be lifted over them
"Alrighty, you guys can use the carriage to move away from here, but first things first, you all must be hungry, you can take this boxes of fruit for the trip" Ragatha said as she made a couple of three boxes with fruit they made from the altered bio plant seed to give to the slaves
"Who... Who are you people?" One of the slaves asked in bewilderment at this mysterious group of people's actions and kindness towards them
"We? Just people trying to do the right thing, but I was told that according to children's books, I'm just doing my job as the shield hero" Ragatha said casually as she lifted her arm with the legendary shield up for the slaves to see, giving them a cheerful smile as some of the slaves starting to cry and fall to their knees
*The difference from this scenario I would make would be that the circus cast takes a more active role fighting against slavery after they learn what it is in Lute village since they never questioned why they were feared and despised in the original version since they just assumed it was because they were monsters but here they question the hate since they are mostly human, having the power to turn into a therianthrop form and humanoid form thanks to their weapons
- Couples tea time -
"Aww, so nice to have a calming little tea with you two" Kinger said as he enjoyed his cup of tea as he was currently having a nice couple meet up with Queen Mirellia, he and Queenie while she was with her husband Aultclay
"Yes it is nice... Is your wife okay?" Mirelia asked as she pointed at Queenie with her eyes, though the abstraction had receded thanks to a lot of emotional talking and Ost/Caine's help, Queenie was still catatonic most of the time as she barely moved and could barely speak short sentences, but at least she was not a massive black quadruplet creature that attacked everything in sight, just a extremely tall and imposing pitch black chess piece monster with multicolored eyes, having a set of four in her face, one in the back of each hand while having the rest pouring out of a naturally formed black fur coat with jagged edges sharper than knives, while having surprisingly thick thights and voluptuous rack
"Oh she is just a bit shy nowadays, but she was quite the extrovert before, she still is when we get in my pillow fort" Kinger said as he waved away the concern, yes he knew his wife wasn't okay but she was better than she had been in years and they were making progress, she had spoken a full sentence last night! They just needed to find a hero weapon to give her to hopefully speed up the process and get her cured... He was very tempted to rip that vassal cane from Mirellia's hands
"How about your husband? Is he really okay in that block of ice?" Kinger asked as he pointed at the other odd center piece for this tea party other than his beautiful wife, a massive block of ice that had Aultclay inside, stuck in an expression of utter fear, Kinger asked because he was sure that it was the same pose, expression and ice block from last time he saw the king which was about six months ago and frankly he worried if he was even somehow alive as his insides probably froze completely over and death by freezing was still a thing that existed in this world
"He is fine, that's what he deserves after all" Mirelia said quite dismissively as Aultclay probably was still alive thanks to his magical resistance to ice and freezing, and even if he wasn't then it was not her fault as he got that coming for him after everything he put her, Melty and the country through
"Head. Lap. Now" Queenie spoke in a deep distorted voice that made Mirelia shiver like someone had dragged their nails against a chalkboard, as the queen's piece bunch of multicolored eyes all focused on Kinger, enlisting a command for him to follow
"Oh, sure thing honey" Kinger obliged as he dropped his head on his wife's lap, as she started slowly caressing his head like a cat as Mirelia just took a sip of her tea awkwardly, at least she knew who was the dominant one in their relationship now
*Currently thinking of the legendary and vassal weapons being able to fix abstraction by virtue of treating it like a curse series, absorbing all of that negative emotion and thoughts and turning it into a weapon form and through this it basically pulls the person out of that mental state while restoring some of it
- you're a girl's toy! -
Based on the Jax has some type of gender dismorphia/is trans theories (there's surprising good evidence for those theories)
The group was all scared and shocked as they looked upon their changed selves, having becomes more monstrous after their major level up from defeating Galileon the zombie dragon, Jax had slept more away from the group and turned to look at them, seeing their shock and altered appearance while he himself didn't feel any different, actually feeling a bit better in fact
"Wow, you all became such ugly freaks, lucky I feel just peachy" Jax commented arrogantly as he felt largely unaffected by the evolution process and didn't feel any different, the others looked at him irritated before they noticed somethings about the lilac rabbit
"... Hey Jax? You're a dude right?" Ragatha asked out of the blue, which just made Jax raise an eyebrow in confusion
"What the heck type of question is that dollface? Of course I'm a dude, I was thankfully born a man so I wouldn't have to deal with that shit all of you go through like periods" Jax commented as he was satisfied with being a man, even if there was some things that interested him that were a bit more feminine and he had more than once thought on how life would be like if he was a girl... But that didn't matter, since being a man was superior to being a woman from what his old man taught him, since girls were gross and needy
"Okay... And what gender did you select for your avatar?" Pomni added as she didn't know if the cast had any control over how their digital avatars were made or what gender they were assigned but it was worth to ask
"No? At least I don't think so? Why are you guys asking that?" Jax asked a bit freaked out about this weird ass questions and the looks they were giving him, it was honestly a bit worrying to him
"Because you aren't exactly looking masculine with them curves, the eye lashes also don't help" Zooble said as Ragatha raised her shield and turned it into the form of a full body mirror as Jax saw his reflection and became shocked as he looked almost the same but his more roughed up appearance had softened up, he had huge feminine eyelashes and most horrifying of all was that he had boobs with a more stand out hips compared to before, he didn't just look feminine he was turned into a straight up girl!
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Jax screamed so loud that a flock of birds flew out of the trees in fear of the sound, as the lilac rabbit looked upon his own reflection in horrified shock, passing his hands through his new chest and hips as he sweated anxiously
"Wow, curvy girl Jax... I have so much new material to write and draw about now" Gangle said as she pulled out her notebook and began drawing as now she had inspiration for so many new artworks, she could finally draw toxic Yuri that wasn't out of character for one of them or required OCs to work
"I get sharp teeth and get to look more like a gremlin while he gets feminine curves? That doesn't seem fair" Pomni complained as she placed her hands in her chest just to be met with a flat surface, she was already lacking in that department back in her real life and in the circus but here too while Jax got the curves she wanted since he was tall and slender with a good hourglass figure while she had always been short and chubby with a more bottom heavy figure
"Why?! Why the heck did this happened?! I'd rather be a monster than a girl! I don't want to have periods!" Jax was in shambles as he was kneeled down to the ground crying as he was a man! He couldn't be a gross and fruity girl! Sure this body felt sort of nice to be in and he wasn't that much displeased with its appearance... But he was a man! He was born and raised to be the manliest man he could be and yet here he was having become the thing he disgusted the most
"Welcome to the dismorphia club buddy, I think my ass will finally be able to stand you better now, at least now we have something in common" Zooble said as they gave Jax a few taps on the shoulder, they still didn't like him but now they could sympathize with him on something on their combine displeasure of their current bodies
"Don't worry Jax, we will teach you the ropes on womanhood, but important question, do you still have that thing down there?" Ragatha asked as she helped the rabbit up and placed a hand to his shoulder, Jax looked at her with wide horrified eyes as he quickly went and placed his hands under his overalls and went to his nether regions, sighing in relief as he felt a familiar piece of him there
"Oh thank the lord, I still have it, I can still shoot out streams while standing up" Jax said as a single tear ran down his eye, as that meant he wouldn't have to worry about having to bleed every once a month in pain and worry about menstruation
"Ah, a futanari eh? That gives me even more ideas!" Gangle said as she began to draw even faster in her notebook, flush in her face getting red hot
"Hey guys, I zoned out. What are we talking about?" Kinger asked as he had been in his own little world for a moment, looking at the group to see a stranger that looked eerily similar to Jax standing there
"Jax has transitioned into a girl now Kinger" Pomni laid it out pretty simple, which got an understanding "Oh" from Kinger
"I did not!" Jax said with a frustrated blush on his face, the rest just laughed it off as he looked cute so flustered
"Oh that's nice, hey since you're a girl now, we could call you Jaxy! Or maybe Jaxlyn!" Kinger cheerfully suggested and everyone nodded in agreement but Jax, who deeply refused even if part of him liked the ring that name had
"No way in hell I'm getting a girlie name! I'm a dude! A manly man and not some sissy girl!" Jax screamed to the heavens in vain, as he would now walk a new path in his life as a girl
- just a straight up improvement ft. Princess Loolilau -
The three heroes and their groups looked at the sight before them, monsters that were brought along by the second princess Melty to the castle, these creatures were all heroes from the weapons they wielded and they had many questions but once the bow hero Itsuki noticed something his face twisted into a frown
"What is that?!" Itsuki shouted irritated as he pointed at the group of inhuman creatures, particularly the candy princess. Melty quickly trying to resolve the situation before it got too agitated
"I know they look odd but these are fellow heroes, even with their appearance they-"
"I don't care about that! Why does she have a gun?!" Itsuki asked screaming as the rest of the three heroes groups took notice of the weapon Loolilau wielded, as the heroes of sword and spear had their mouths hang open
"Damn... Is that a shotgun?" Ren said as he looked at it, clearly that was the best weapon for PvP and fights considering... It was just a gun, what's a guy with a sword or spear going to do when someone rolls up with a uzi to a fight? Nothing, because they would be dead
"Oh! It's a rifle actually! But if it is too unsightly for you I can make it into a pistol" Loolilau said as she changed the weapon into a different form, a high caliber pistol, further shocking and infuriating the bow hero
"If there was a hero gun, why didn't I get that one?!" Itsuki asked in distain as he saw that as not fair, sure he liked the bow but a gun made it far outclassed in general as there was a reason the military used machine guns over crossbows. It made him feel like he was second fiddle to some sugar laced freak
"I feel ya buddy" Jax said as he also had wished for him to have gotten the fire arms instead of the hammer
"Whatever, I bet it has poor range and damage anyways" Itsuki said trying to cope and feel better about himself. Game logic usually dictated that guns had shorter range and damage than bows to validate their existence in settings where both existed, plus without a silencer they were shit for stealth
"Oh, actually it has quite the range when it is like this" the candy princess said as the weapon turned into a sniper rifle, with a laser scope and silencer, completely oblivious that she made Itsuki's weapon seen more obsolete now
"Ah come on!" Itsuki shouted irritated, unaware his bow could also change into guns but that was only if he copied them as he couldn't get them from normal unlocks
*Personally would give princess Loolilalu the vassal music instruments and Yes I know guns suck in shield hero but I saw fanart of her as a gun wielding cowgirl and I knew I must write this scenario
- communal bed -
"It's getting late, I better sleep" Melty said as she brushed her tiring eyes, looking up from the camp fire to see the dark starry night sky, a beautiful sight but one that meant she needed rest soon
"Good call, we should all hit the bed" Zooble said as the others nodded along, though Ragatha had a more unpleased look on her usual cheerful grin
"Alright, is it inside the carriage or-" Melty asked as she looked back at the carriage, only to hear very quick shifting from behind, turning to look at the circus group that had all... Pilled up against Ragatha, now laying flat on her back in the ground as everyone rested their heads on her
"What are you all doing?" Melty asked confusedly, even a bit worried for what they were doing
"Oh, we don't have a bed or pillows so we just use Ragatha! Plus even if we had, she would still be more comfortable" Jax said smirking and the others added in with their own shameful nods
"Don't worry, I'm already used to it... Unfortunately" Ragatha said, when this started it was only supposed to be something to help Pomni as she complained about her body getting sore for sleeping on the ground, but then Jax had to come in and use her as well, and because she did so little push back, the others started as well. Honestly she was okay with being useful for the team, but being a mattress was starting to push her buttons
Melty looked at the sleep pile, she went and looked inside the carriage, nothing but a hard wood floor to sleep in, she looked for a different option, eyes landing on Amber. She had no doubt that Amber was fluffy enough to sleep comfortably and was big enough to be used as a bed, but the young princess felt a bit reluctant to do so as although sleeping in a fillolian's fluffy feathers was a dream of her's, she knew Amber wasn't a normal fillolian
After all it isn't normal for fillolians to talk, much less be the size of a barge, nor have their heads turn 360 degrees and be able to glow in the dark at command by holding her breath. And what particularly worried her was dying suffocating on its feathers, she saw Amber pull out all manner of items from her feathers, from entire trees and boulders, to even monsters that she was saving up to eat later, it was like she had an entire pocket dimension in her feathers
And although she was more than fine with dying in such a way, she had to get back to her kingdom to amend it while she awaited for her mother's return, and she couldn't do that if dead
She approached the group pile, looking at the ragdoll who gave a reassuring nod, Melty laid her head against Ragatha's arm and was taken back by how soft it was. It was like she was laying against a fluffy cloud as sleep came hitting her like a truck, eyes closing as she fell asleep
-doing the nasty-
"Come on Pomni, just a little more" Ragatha said as she walked through the forest while holding Pomni's hand, guiding her as the doll looked for a proper, isolated space so they could "get to it" She was so happy Pomni had accepted her invite because she needed to do this sooner rather than later
"You're sure about this Ragatha? I don't want the others to hear us..." Pomni said as she anxiously looked back as they moved along, gosh did she didn't want to deal with the humiliation that would come if they were found out during the act, the teasing from Jax would probably never end
"Oh absolutely, now this looks like a good spot for..." Ragatha pushed the bush aside only for her and Pomni to see something they didn't expect, it was Zooble all wrapped and tangled up with Gangle's ribbon body as the porcelain mask was currently pressing against Zooble's face... The amalgam had a different head, one with a mouth and tongue that were currently pressing lips against Gangle. It took a moment for the two to realize they were being watched as their eyes opened to look at Ragatha and Pomni as they quickly broke apart
"Uhm, we were just- I mean, Zooble and I tripped over and got tangled up together! Yeah that's it!" Gangle tried to explain away the situation with a reddish flush in her masked face, but it was pretty obvious what the two were doing before being interrupted. Somehow this didn't feel much surprising to Ragatha and Pomni, they always thought Zooble's and Gangle's relationship was barely scratching the limit between platonic to romantic but this just settled it, they were honestly happy for the pair
"... Can we join? We kind of came out to do the same so..." Pomni said as that made the pair previously making out and Ragatha to look at the jester, was she really suggesting that the four of them just... Banged each other simple like that? They eyed each other as their bodies were all so different and with so many different quirks that it could make it interesting... Getting wrapped up by Gangle, being smoothed by Ragatha's soft expanse, Zooble bringing out extra hands of different textures to touch in loving embrace and Pomni's elasticity... It all made them a bit more aroused. The amalgam looked at the ribbon girl and the two nodded before looking at the pair of doll and jester
"... Sure, the more the merrier" Zooble said as they could do with a foursome, Pomni and Ragatha shared a look as they went and began taking out their clothes, as the four began to embrace each other's bodies, In the distance, a bird watches from the bushes
'Mhh... Would this be something Queen Fitoria would want to know? She said to only bring back relevant information...' the fillolian pondered in their mind as it kept watching the strange erotic innocently
-Drawing your friends-
"Hey Gangle, what are you doing?" Pomni said as she approached the mass of ribbons as she sat in a wooden chair, using a pencil and a notebook with a leather cover
"Oh, just doodling, these bandits had some notebooks I'm using to draw and since we aren't in the circus anymore I can draw what I want without fear of it being censored" Gangle said quite enthusiast even though she wasn't with her happy mask, though she had a saddened tone of voice, she was quite marvelled since whenever she tried to draw lewd stuff it was instantly applied with a pixelated filter that really bummed out her mood
"Ah that's great and... Is that me and Ragatha?" Pomni asked as she peaked through Gangle's ribbon body and saw what she was drawing and it was very unexpected... It was her and Ragatha both in undergarments, with long stockings and garter belts, their faces were really detailed and flustered as they portrayed quite the love stuck look as their eyes were looking logging for each other's and their lips were currently breaking apart from fervently kissing as a single string of shared saliva connected them. For some reason, Ragatha's button eye was replaced with a eye patch and she had freckles while Pomni had cat ears and a tail with a little string with a bell attached to it
"No..." Gangle tried to argue but even she knew there was no getting out of this without some explaining "Okay yes but if your problem is about the cat ears, it's part of my Neko Mafia Cafe Au, plus they are cute"
"No, that's not what is confusing me. Why are we... Kissing half naked?" Pomni said as she couldn't give a fuck about the cat features Gangle gave her, she was more concerned about the fact she was staring at softcore porn of herself and Ragatha that was currently being drawn by one of her friends
"Come on, it is kind of obvious" Gangle said while throwing a smug smile to Pomni, almost like she was privy to information Pomni didn't, for Gangle to show confidence while with her tragedy mask on... It meant that she was assured and not the least bit ashamed that she was drawing porn of two of her friends, like this was not her fault but rather something Pomni and Ragatha had it coming for some reason
"What?" Pomni was confused and flustered by what Gangle was trying to imply
"You know why, it's not my fault you two just keep giving me material to work with" Gangle responded with a knowing look before going back to drawing, Pomni walked away scared and confused for what sick thought went through the ribbon girl's head, she also wished her drawing skills weren't as good as they were, otherwise she wouldn't be currently turned on by a drawing... Shit, she was starting to understand what Gangle meant
- Motoyasu vs Amber's mobster mom -
Motoyasu had met a girl that won his heart (like several others beforehand) with her charming ways, but different from the others from before, this one played into his personal preference (or fetish depending on who you ask)! That being a young maiden that was an actual angel! Having wings and heavenly beauty
Sure she wasn't like a complete copy and paste version of his beloved Freon but it was sufficient for him, the girl in question was about fourteen/fifteen years old if Motoyasu had to guess, having beautiful orange eyes and a gradient hair that was mostly a light orange that had slightly more dark ending tips, wearing a loose fitting dress most of the time but he did spot her in a few different outfits at times
After successfully finding (and cornering her so she couldn't run away) he went and flirted with her, expecting to win her over almost instantly but Amber for her part wasn't too thrilled with him, she had enough sense to be creeped out. Motoyasu looked nice and talked nice but she wasn't sure if she should date the guy as there were a few red flags she was seeing but she supposed she could give him a chance, he was ecstatic when she said that only to be disappointed when she said that he would need to get the approval of her mother, but the spear hero was confident he could win the mysterious mother over
And that's what had led Motoyasu to the present moment, with him standing in Amber's family home, which was a massive circus in a pocket dimension filled with monsters way above the level one hundred that thankfully all stood away from the place thanks to a special repelling barrier. Now he was staring at his possible future mother-in-law, which not only was a different type of creature than Amber since instead of a angel it was some weird rubber unicorn person wearing a jester suit, and she was also apparently the vassal heroine of the claws so his flirt strategy to use his status as a hero to impress any parent into letting him date their daughters wouldn't work
By her side were two other people, one was a massive doll that was stacked in her chest and hips that Motoyasu would totally flirt had she had stuffing solely on her rack and rear rather than in all of her being which gave her a plush look and didn't have a frickin lesbian flag stitched in her dress. The other was a big muscular alligator man wearing a cowboy get up that looked like he was made of some slime residue and smelled like sour apple and pineapple for some reason
"So you want to date my daughter?" Pomni asked, something about the tone she said it, the plain and emotionally unimpressed expression and the general vibes of the room made Motoyasu feel like he was speaking to a mob boss rather than a jester
"Uh Yeah, I think she is lovely and I would like to spend more time with her while being more than just friends" Motoyasu said as he swallowed down nervously as he looked at Pomni's pinwheel eyes and then at the two bodyguards she had on her sides, both were sending cold looks his way and he didn't know why, only thing he could guess is that the doll's female intuition and the alligator's reptile instincts had something against him
"Alright, file" Pomni said as she snapped her fingers and lifted an open hand to Gummigoo, who placed a sort of police file in her hand, Pomni did a similar motion to Ragatha who silently gave her a pair of reading glasses the jester put on as she started to read the file, Motoyasu seeing in the cover that it had his name and photo on it
"Huh? What the heck is that?" Motoyasu asked confused, even reaching out a hand to pick the thing off Pomni's hands only for the jester to send a glare at him that installed the fear of god into him, as she went back to nonchalantly reading it
"A file on your person I got from Caine, provided by your legendary spear containing all the relevant information to see if you would be a good person to let near my daughter" Pomni explained as she read through the file, detailing everything about Motoyasu's life and personality, Pomni letting out a heavy sigh after finishing reading all of it
"I see... Well you do have good traits I'll give you that but with how you fumble your last relationship and how you been handling your harem, I can't with a sound mind allow you to date my daughter" Pomni responded calmly as she looked at the spear hero, he had good things to him like a good heart and a fierce sense of loyalty but seeing he got Isekai'ed by cheating at two girlfriends at once and the way he had a harem instead of a team that he wasn't even able to manage like a actual harem proved that he was unfit to be in a relationship
"Ah come on, I'm not really that bad! I promise I'll treat her right!" Motoyasu plead but Pomni wasn't having it not even for a second
"Also, there's the fact that she is way younger than you, like seriously you're twenty one and she is only fifteen physically, my sweet baby girl isn't going to be with a pedophile" Pomni said as chronologically Amber would still be around a six months old more or less and physically she was only fifteen, which Pomni wouldn't care if this guy pulled a "the age of consent in this place is blah blah blah" on her, she was raised on solid principals and wasn't going to let Amber date a man so much older than her just because of different age of consent laws in this or any other world
"Hey now hold on moment I'm not a-" Motoyasu was interrupted by Pomni loudly snapping her fingers
"Ragatha, Gummigoo. Take this vermin out of my sight and I swear that if you try anything funny with Amber, you'll be sleeping with the fishes down at the digital lake" Pomni threatened the spear hero as Ragatha and Gummigoo grabbed him by the armpits and dragged him away, Pomni taking out a lighter and pipe as she light it up and began smoking it as soap bubbles came out from it
-A different mask-
It was a wave of calamity, monsters pouring from the sky to cause mayhem but the current slaughter that was occuring was not of innocent civilians with no hope of defending themselves from the monsters, rather it was the monsters who were the victims as a single force went through their numbers in brutal fashion
Wearing a white mask with red details and with a pissed off expression, Gangle stood tall as a raging barbarian as she used her ribbon form to take over the body of a defeated opponent to pilot it as a meat puppet, why would she be doing this? So she could better tear off the monsters with her bare hands, having a set of four ribbons coming from her back as tentacles for her to throw her projectiles with while she swung around a heavy hammer that was held by the puppet she was controlling
"Okay, uhm, I'm not the only one scared of Gangle now am I?" Pomni asked as her and the rest of the cast were simply watching Gangle's rampage from the sidelines a bit scared
"Christ all mighty, I knew that mask of rage would make Gangle aggressive but she is brutalizing those monsters" Zooble said as they never saw this side of Gangle before, must have been years of pent up aggression finally coming out.
"Wait, where's Jax?" Ragatha said as she looked around to see no signs of the purple rabbit anywhere. Jax meanwhile was unconscious as Gangle gave him a beating of a lifetime and was currently being used as vehicle for the ribbon girl destructive rage
-Escape plans-
"Alright, we have to get out of the country and we need to do it fast, any suggestions?" Melty asked as the group started to think of any way they could do it that was faster than their current method, a lightbulb turning on in Amber's head
"Oh! We could have mister Zooble give themselves the bottom of a centipede and equip themselves with hundreds of different legs and hands so they can move extremely fast and we all ride them away to the border!" Amber said cheerfully as that idea made total sense to her, more legs meant more speed and Zooble could have a hundred of them, so it would make them faster than her, what she failed to realize were the scared looks she was receiving
"Amber, I already have self bodily image issues. Turning into an eldritch abomination would NOT help with them" Zooble said as the others nodded in agreement as they didn't want to see that visual, just the mental image already made Ragatha puke into her shield's gem and Zooble wasn't sure they could manage so many limbs at once, it would probably destroy their brain
"Ah okay... How about this? We make the carriage bigger to accommodate everyone then we tie Mama's legs and arms to four corners of it, then we use fire and wind magic to fill her with hot air and boom! Hot air balloon! We could fly away and they wouldn't get us!" Amber suggested another idea she found smart, as a method of aerial transportation could put them ahead of their enemies, if they tried attacking them with flying dragons they could always have auntie Gangle shut them down with her projectiles. However Pomni was not very keen on this plan because she didn't want to be inflated out of proportions
"Ugh, it's a fun idea sweetheart but I don't think it would be efficient, hot air balloons are slow and quite big targets so we would be shot down, plus I don't think Pomni can stretch that much" Ragatha said the problems of the plan as Pomni sighed in relief, the flaw was that hot air balloons and blimps were slow and big targets that because of the various sorts of magic attacks available in this world, would make it easy to take them out of the sky
"Plus, one arrow and your mama would go pop!" Jax added jokingly which caused Amber to shiver in fear at the thought of her mother exploding into tiny little pieces
"Gosh, you're right... I can gobble up all of you and then run as fast as I can, then spill you guys out before my stomach acid can harm you?" Amber said but at this point it was clear she wasn't sure anymore, as this idea was worse than the previous two, it was to be expected from a child to not have a brilliant master plan
"... Let the adults decide what to do Amber my dear" Pomni said as she tapped Amber in the back, who gave out a slight sob but nodded as it seemed her brilliant ideas were not as brilliant as she thought
-Filo meets Amber-
"Wow! You're big! Like super duper big!" Filo said as she stared at Amber, the orange fillolian being almost twice her size, and considering Filo was already big for fillolian standard that meant Amber was positively huge, she could probably fit a whole person inside her feathers
"And you're small, I thought fillolian queens are supposed to be big, though the only other one I met was Fitoria and she is mountain sized so maybe that isn't fair" Amber said as it was weird seeing another fillolian queen, the only one she had met was Fitoria and she had assumed all fillolian queens were as big as her, but to consider her unique up bringing she should have guessed that it might have make her different from others of her kind, even more than she already did
"What does your master give you to eat to make you so big?" Filo asked as she wondered how much Amber's master allowed her to eat, maybe he had allowed her to eat the entirety of that big mean plant or those two stinky dragons, her master didn't allow her that privilege
"I eat almost anything but my size is because of the weapon influences, six weapons altering you at once does a lot" Amber said, she might eat a lot but that wasn't the reason for her size, after all six hero weapons giving a "growth" bonus was most likely the reason for her being this big, not that she would complain as that meant she could give her mama and others a ride even if they were so big they could break a normal fillolians back
"Can you transform? Cause Filo can!" Filo said as in a puff of smoke, she transformed into her angel form, a small blond child with blue eyes in white dress, having a set of wings coming out from her back
"Ah... I guess, I never really do it often... If at all" Amber said as she scratched one of her wings with her other wing, a habit she picked from her mother, she picked a lot of habits from her adoptive family, be it a fascination for bugs from "grandpa" or a liking for drawing from "auntie"
"Why not?" Filo asked innocently, unsure why the other fillolian didn't transform, wasn't it more convenient to be a smaller size when she was this big on her monster form?
"Because I feel like it would bother Mama and the others if I did, all they want is to be human again and if I just come and show how easily I can turn into one... I'm afraid they'll hate me" Amber said, when she discovered her ability to transform into a humanoid form she was ecstatic and went to tell her mama and the others, but she got close enough to earshot to hear them have another discussion, but instead of it being Mama or Mama's love interest arguing with uncle like usual, they were discussing their bodies. This was shortly after the fight with Galileon, when the team went through their first physical evolution, but different from her who got the power to change between a fillolian queen and a angel, her family just got improvements to their monster forms, but not stuff that improved their daily lives but enhancements for battle mostly
The way they talked about the changes... Their disgust as some of the alteration, the troublesome size increase for most of them, anatomical features they didn't desire and the overall change for a more monstrous look displeased them deeply, her Mama was crying because she didn't want to be a white skinned rubber band freak, she just wanted to be a plain old human again like in her old life, something all of them wanted. And so, instead of coming into camp as a angel, she emerged as her big and fluffy bird form, never mentioning she could become the closest any of them could to a human in fear of forever changing the relationship she had with her found family
"Why would they hate you for that? Are they stupid and mean?" Filo asked as it seemed pretty dumb to her that Amber's family wouldn't like her having a angel form, from her own experience even if her master Naofumi acted like he would rather she stayed as a bird rather than a child, he still gave her the same love and care in his own weird way, though he still complained about her eating habits
"No it's just... It's complicated, you wouldn't understand it" Amber said as she couldn't expect Filo to understand the matter, heck, queen Fitoria was a hundred years old and should be the wisest fillolian in the whole world and yet she still didn't understand why Amber was concerned about coming out to her family about the transformation, she was starting to think having six weapons influencing her growth gave her a more developed brain or something
"Filo might not be as smart as my master, but Filo knows that if they love you, they won't care if you can or cannot turn into a human person" Filo said in childish insight as if Amber truly had loving companions she considered family then they shouldn't care about such matter, they might feel jealous but otherwise they should accept it because it was Amber
"... Thanks" Amber said, she didn't know if she should follow through with Filo's advice or not... But it might not hurt to give it a try
-Ragatha's sapphic powers-
"These are the new vassal heroes and that one is the shield?" Mirelia asked as she observed the scene being projected in front of her of the strange new wielders of the star weapons and the legendary shield, her loyal shadow simply nodded affirmatively as Mirellia went back to observing the magical hologram
Her eyes lingered on the shield heroine as she avaliated the information she had, the ragdoll was the leader of the group of misfits though her leadership was simply in name as the respect her teammates had for her seemed to vary from time to time and in the case of the hammer wielding rabbit, no respect at all and yet she kept taking in the responsibility on her shoulders, demonstrating a willingness to take initiative
Her position as the guardian and protector of the group was always crystal clear, as the wielder of the shield she has to be the vanguard of her team and stay in the front lines, her body clearly showed in the stitches and patches it had in her arms and face, scars from many tough encounters no doubt and marks of the willingness to sacrifice one's self to defend another, an truly admirable trait
But from the reports it also said that she has a very gentle and kind personality, a pleasant set of traits that helped her make the others around her feel safe and happy. Always trying to cheer others up while looking out for them, ready with a laugh for when a light hearted joke would present itself and a soothing and motherly tone of voice that helped the others to see her as a inoffensive figure with lots of love to give
To assess her physique was also quite fascinating as she was positively huge, the shield seemingly having modified her to make her duties as a living sponge of damage easier by increasing her height and length so she could better protect others with a size advantage. Most would feel some level of intimidation from a giant living doll but Mirelia didn't fear it, something about that unique anatomy intrigued her, she could only wonder how heavy the shield heroine was, what material she was stuffed with, how she regenerated, how soft her body was, how would the texture of her lips feel like...
"My queen? Are you alright? Your cheeks seem-"
"I'm fine. It would be best if I went to address them to get their support to help Melromarc" Mirelia said as she had been slightly distracted from the matter at hand, truthfully she had to be more careful as she allowed herself to get lost in trivial thoughts so easily. Now she had a country to return to and various situations to amend caused by her husband's fault... She wondered if Melty would be okay with a step mom made of rags?
*Sapphic: adjective relating to sexual attraction or activity between women.
Example: "the two women share a sapphic kiss in the play"
- drawing Isekai -
"Hey Gangle, what are you doing?" Zooble asked as they came in to check on Gangle as the ribbon girl was doodling, they had just beaten the third wave and had those nasty fights against the soul eater and those groups of adventurers who couldn't get to listen, when they said they weren't monsters
"Drawing those guys who attacked us getting hurt to help me relax" Gangle responded and Zooble nodded to that, it was a relief mechanism Gangle developed in the circus since there was no way she could live her fantasies of violence on Jax due to not having the heart for it... Mostly
"Oh okay, but why are they being hit by trucks?" Zooble said as they saw the drawings, it featured those three jerks with the strange weapons getting hit by vehicles and some had them at... A fast food place?
"Ah, they looked weirdly japanese, which is odd since no one we have seen so far even looked like they had a specific nationality from our world" Gangle commented as those three looked to be of asian descendance which was very weird since everyone here looked European and a bit American, since a asiatic stood out like a red haired in a crowd in this place, it almost made her wonder if they were from a different world and got sent here after dying, which was why she was drawing a reverse Isekai
"Isekai is a popular genre in Japan so I'm drawing them getting sent to the modern world and working at a fast food restaurant, being unsatisfied by the mundanity of it" Gangle explained, to be fair she didn't watch or read many Isekais as she knew of the genre but had only really watched Inuyasha, the devil is a part timer, my next life as a villainess and konosuba, she would have seen more but unfortunately the escapism fantasy of a magical world was quickly ruined by some of the ones she saw as Overlord and Rezero were a bit too dark for her and she dropped Rising of the Gun Hero because the whole slavery thing felt like a fetish after episode 24 when he gets his village of child slaves
It also didn't help that there was a lot of slop of low quality as she saw the options in the site she used to watch anime, getting reincarnated as a vending machines? Bringing a cellphone with God on speed dial? Whatever the fuck was that one about starting a cult? She was going to stick to her magical girl animes instead as that was her jist
"That's... Okay, just remember that dinner is in an hour" Zooble said as they decided to leave Gangle alone for now... Though they had to say that they were weirdly good at drawing trucks hitting people
- a jester's crisis-
"Pomni? Are you okay?" Kizuna approached Pomni, who sat down at a colorful numbered block, in a position similar to the thinker statue as she seemed lost in deep thoughts while looking off into nothingness, a strangely serious expression on her face
"I'm having a bisexual crisis" the jester simply replied in a serious tone, a reflective expression as they gazed at the horizon while two images floated through her head
"What?" The hunting tools heroine said confused by Pomni's declaration
"Doll boobs or crocodile pecks? Gummy ass or cotton butt? Being bitten by an aussie or bite a sweetheart? This is my dilemma, this is my burden" Pomni explained as she was faced with her biggest challenge yet, raising Amber? The battle against the spirit turtle? Being stuck in the circus again? All of that were trivial manners compared to the difficult situation she was in, her heart split in two as she was faced feeling love towards two people
Ragatha, her caring guardian angel from day one, was a loving personality that always made Pomni feel a bit more reassured and her optimistic nature was contagious at times, even if it felt forced on some moments. Ever since getting into this new world as heroes, they and the rest had used each other as support to fall back on, but it seemed her and Ragatha had gotten closer than with the others as the two constantly paired up together to cover each other's weakness, Jax may have teased about them being girlfriends at times but it seemed he had willed it into existence because Pomni was starting to actually see Ragatha as more than a friend, something more romantic. It didn't help the fact that Ragatha benefited well from the world style change as she went from a flat human looking doll to an absolutely stacked one, sure some might see a nine foot tall doll wider than a door and be scared but Pomni? That made her get hot and flustered, how could she not when Ragatha's boobs were each bigger than her head with an ass just as big if not bigger? And the jester wasn't superficial like most who only cared for chest and rear, more than once did she desired to just lay her head in Ragatha's soft expanse of middle, using her belly as a pillow or have those thick arms wrap around her
And then there's Gummigoo, her first true friend after getting in the circus and someone she had connected in a emotional level so deep so fast you could say they were soul mates, and her reaction when seeing him back at Spudsy's of crawling on the floor like a gremlin to get close to him practically solidified that. Now, she would have no problem with calling him just a friend, but thanks to the laws of this new reality, somehow Gummigoo just had to become hot for some reason, what with the muscle definition of a greek marble statue, with his gummy body shining his muscles like he had oil on to further enhance the visibility of that temple of sweet musculature, dressed in a cowboy get up that left little to the imagination especially with how tight those pants looked at times, she swore that if it wasn't for Caine making NPCs with no genitals, she could've seen whether or not Gummigoo had a 3 pound gummy worm in his pants or not
The circus truly corrupted her, from what she remembered of her normal human life, she never felt such strong feelings of attraction for another person like this, she thought she was AroAce but clearly not anymore, since she simply needed to look at the unconventional to finally get a boner. Everyone's first crushes were movie stars or musicians but now if she was asked the question of "who was her first crush?" She would have to say that it was a ragdoll with a dump truck and a gummy alligator built like bodybuilder
But how to love two people at once? Sure Ragatha and Gummigoo can be her friends but she has to pick one if she wants a lover, but could she really throw away the connection she formed with Ragatha just because her heart called for Gummigoo? Now she understood why so many classic history involved love
"... Have you ever heard of polyamory?" Kizuna suggested, grabbing the jester's attention as she was about to introduce to Pomni a possible solution to her problem
- don't touch her -
"A rubber homunculus? And here I thought they could only be made of flesh" Kyo said as he had cornered quite the interesting specimen, a homunculus, a perfect lifeform brought to life by science and mysticism, though he did expect it to look more like the full metal alchemist interpretation or even perfect Cell from DBZ and not... A kid's show character
"G-g-get away!" Pomni said as she threw a claw skill at the book wielder who simply reflected it away with a skill of his own
"Don't be scared, your body will do wonders for research into artificial bodies" Kyo said as he had been trying to create artificial and perfect bodies for him to use, one to transfer his consciousness into and live forever as a perfect lifeform while the rest would be his unbeatable and forever loyal army of mindless flesh puppets to use for his goal of conquering the multiverse. And here he was met with an actual homunculi that held the secrets to discovering it
"I'm especially curious about how a creature such as you can... Reproduce" Kyo said menacingly, he was an otaku in his past life, and quite the nasty one at that, he died a virgin after all and though he could get any girl he wanted in this world, he had particular tastes... Pomni was just humanoid enough but monster enough to please his tastes, he always wanted to fuck Lust or Envy from Full metal alchemist and he would have that dream made a reality once he broke apart the jester cell by cell
"Aye, excuse me sir" a voice with the thickest australian accent Kyo ever heard in his life called from behind him as he had two hands grab his shoulders, one hand with enough force he felt like it was going to shatter his bones and another who had a cursed sensation to it as he felt like it was draining his soul energy. Kyo turned back to look at two huge figures looming above him, one was Ragatha in her cursed doll state as she had Galileon Cursed Revenge II shield equipped which granted her access to powerful curses and voodoo doll like traits like damage transference and the other was Gummigoo in his feral battle mode who although lacked on the magic department, could easily destroy anyone in his path with sheer brute strength that could bench press a house and bite off the toughest of metals
"But it seems you're bothering our friend with some rather nasty topic, so I'll have to ask you to leave her alone" Gummigoo said as he gave a huff as multicolored smoke came out of his nostrils, the smile he had on his face was covering for how hard he wanted to blast this guy with sugary flames until he was a pile of melted mush on the ground
"Or else, we will have to make you" Ragatha said in a dark and gloomy tone of voice, even without Galileon's possession she was still affected by the shield mentally, dubbed Dark Ragatha for how she became a pessimistic goth with no qualms about insulting others which was a stark contrast from her usual cheerful self
Kyo turned back gritting his teeth as he prepared to fight, before having his head separated from his body with a single slap from Gummigoo as Ragatha followed it up by pointing at Kyo's body and causing dark flames to explode from it to burn his body and soul. After they made sure he was dead, both transformed back to normal and went to comfort Pomni
"There there Pomni, you're safe now" Ragatha said as she brushed her hand gently on the jester's head as she and Gummigoo sat close to her, with the gummy alligator holding on to Pomni's hand to help comfort her, they were succeeding at it, also at making her hot and flustered
"Would you like some nice hot chocolate and a comfy blanket to help you calm down?" Gummigoo suggested as he had experience with helping Chad and Max calm down when scared, he didn't know if such tactics would work for Pomni in specific after almost getting assaulted but it was worth a try
"... With mini marshmallows?" The jester asked as she looked upon her two rescuers, who gave reassuring nods as Ragatha picked up Pomni in her arm and they started to walk away to rest up back at base
"Grrh, damn that stupid doll and neanderthal alligator! I'll have my revenge!" A tiny fragment of Kyo soul whined as it tried its hardest to drag the vassal book along the floor, as Ragatha's curses had left his spirit form the size of grape fruit when it should be far larger than his human form, but something picked the book up as Kyo hanged on to it, before he was plucked away from it and had his connection shattered with the weapon, as the vassal book quickly took the chance to fly away and find a new host. Kyo was having his spiritual form squashed between two fingers as he was faced with the ringleader with a denture for a head, Caine
"Excuse me, but I was informed that you tried to force yourself onto Pomni, we might not be in The Amazing Digital Circus but the rules are very clear, sexual assault upon cast members is strictly forbidden!" Caine said as he looked at Kyo with angry disappointment at his non family friendly behavior, as he could have cancelled their show if it was on air with such filthy attitude and disregard for consent
"I'm afraid I'll have to ban you from this dimension and put you through some disciplinary reeducation taught to you by our professional in showing affection... Bubble!" Caine said as he snapped his fingers and Bubble appeared. He hated punishing people but this time he would require it as sexual assault crossed the line for him, thankfully Bubbles would show him the error of his ways
"I'll *unspeakable and horrible things that would cause someone to kill themselves rather than go through with this* to you" Bubbles whispered to Kyo as he was looking at the round sphere utterly terrified, he was even sweating in fear even though he was a ghost now. It was like he was staring at the devil, a slutty and kinky devil
"Have fun!" Caine said as he threw both into a pocket dimension, hoping to check on them soon, though he heard that bad people take time to change so maybe he will see how Kyo would be doing in the next decade or so
-Siblings-
"Malty! Give it back!" Melty said as she tried her best to get back the only present her mother gave her that wasn't a book or item correlating to a lesson on how to be queen one day, a fillolian plushie based on the mythical fillolian goddess Fitoria. This present she cherished so much now being in the hands of her cruel older sister Malty, who held the toy high above her sister's reach to mock her
"Oh, you want it so much?" Malty asked as Melty stopped and nodded in defeat, Malty made a wicked grin as she used her magic to make the plushy catch a flame as she allowed it to fall on the floor as it began burning as Melty looked at it in horror "There, how do you like this, brat?"
Melty quickly kneeled down and casted a water spell to put out the fire, but it was too late, the plushy was in ruin as it was just a black mass of burned cloth and stuffing. Melty teared up as she picked the remains of it, she looked at her sister who was just smiling sadistically as the younger sister ran off with the burned remains
Malty wasn't scared, her father would never punish her and although her mother would she was also cold enough to try and turn this into a lesson for Melty to mature so she was safe, maybe she wouldn't be allowed dessert or something but she could always break those pesky restrictions because she was Malty Q. Melromarc, and who could punish her?
Malty walked the palace halls thinking about what to do and who to torment until something caught attention from the corner of her eyes, it was a family portrait of her and the rest of her family but her face had been painted over with a red X and the words bitch written on her body. She was revolted, whoever did this mockery was going to get what was coming to them because that was one of her favorite paintings, she wondered if this was Melty's way of getting back at her but it didn't make sense, the blue girl was a annoying perfect child who wouldn't do something like this and much less use the foul word, so it was either some servant or-
"Heard you like to break little children's toys, how bad of you, I mean I would do it but not my own sister's toys" a voice called her out as Malty turned to look at the speaker only to be shocked at the sight, it was a lilac rabbit demi-human but he was simply... wrong, his limbs were too long and thin, his hands and feet were too big and that face he had was creepy with the wide yellow eyes and mouth full of sharpen golden teeth, he sat by the window as his limbs were twisted and bended in a unnatural way to fit in the small space
"Uhm... Who are you? What are you doing here you disgusting demi?" Malty said as she instinctively took a step back in disgust at the sight before her, what was a demi-human, specially such a sickly looking one doing in her castle? And just who did he think he was to just be able to speak to her?
The rabbit chuckled as he spilled out of the window he was sitting just to approach her as he stared down at her, even hunched over like he was and with his knees half bended he still towered over her as his smile became bigger and Malty was given a new sense of fear as he stared at her
"Big brother Jax, Little sis tattled on her mean sister and since daddy is a dunce and mommy dearest is as caring as a freezer. It fell on me to punish you" Jax responded as he bopped her nose before moving his face away from her, his bones making so many snapping noises whenever he moved like he was cracking then by just moving his body. Melty came to him and the others wanting to see if Ragatha could fix her plushie, when she said what happened to leave the toy like that, Jax decided to do her a solid and bully the bully as part of his brotherly duty
"Brother? Since when? Daddy would never allow for a-" Malty was silenced as Jax placed his entire hand on her face and grabbed her through it as he threw her against the wall, she was bothered and angered by it as she wanted to fry him to hell and back
"Yeah, yeah. Like he has a say in this, now..." Jax said as he summoned his vassal hammer and quickly turned it into a form made of thick steel, the image of such a huge and heavy hammer being held by a creature with such thin limbs that seemed like they could snap like twigs was scary, combined with his maniacal grin, it set her mind into fear "Let's play "squash the bitch" it's all the rage these days!"
- a fate worse than death-
It was the trial of Aultclay and Malty for their crimes, but the Queen of Melromarc, Mirellia had allowed the circus cast to determine the punishment as they had been mostly affected by Aultclay's actions and although Malty hadn't actually done anything much against the cast in particular, she would have to share her father's fate for her equally as horrible actions
"I don't know if I can think of a punishment..." Gangle said as although she could think of many ways to physically induce pain upon those two but the problem was that they were Melty's family and the blue haired girl was right there ready to hear what cruel way they were going to kill her family, they couldn't let them go with a simple stripping of their titles and power as the people and entire countries wanted their heads rolling off the chopping block, so they had to find something that would be a good enough punishment for their actions and that didn't made Melty hate them
"Worst thing I can imagine would be to have to spend time with Caine in the circus" Zooble said as that was by far the worse thing that could befell a person, being stuck in that digital hell called a circus
"True, that's punishment enough" Pomni commented as the rest all nodded in agreement when suddenly their weapons had their gems glow and slightly shake as they were reacting to their idea, suddenly the vassal staff appeared in a boom of light, everyone looked at it in surprise as it hovered in the air before flying to Mirellia's hand, the queen and the court was surprised but then all the legendary and vassal weapons in the room had their gems glow as a portal appeared beneath Aultclay and Malty as they screamed while falling
"Huh?" Everyone in court looked at the portal wondering what happened as they couldn't see where the portal led due to being a glowing blue energy, before they heard a loud gasp of surprise from the portal
"ARE THOSE NEW GUESTS?! WELCOME TO THE AMAZING DIGITAL-" a booming voice was saying before the portal closed and cut him off, everyone was confused except for the circus cast that had shivers down their spines as they recognized the voice instantly and a few like Pomni were actively sweating in fear
"Holy shit, was that? Did we? Oh god..." Ragatha mumbled as she and the others were looking at their weapons, realizing that they might have unintentionally used their combine powers to send Malty and Aultclay to the circus
"What happened? Where did that portal send the king and Malty?" Itsuki asked as he looked at the circus cast as they seemed to have some notion of what was the place that the two were sent and the voice from the other end
"... Let me try and explain it in an easy to understand manner. They are currently in the closest thing to hell a human could accidentally make when trying to make an artificial heaven, so like... It's Limbo in a way" Ragatha said but everyone else was still in demand for more clarification so with a sigh, they decided to explain it in more detail
"Imagine a wonderland for kids where they can live any type of childish adventure in a safe and controlled environment. But that becomes twisted and instead of its original intention it's now a place of endless psychological torture where you can't die no matter how hard you try, you still feel pain and stuff but everything is controlled by a mad and childish god that does not comprehend or listen, who's only goal is to entertain people but he goes about it in the worst ways since he was made to entertain children for short periods of time, not to have to take care of people for more than a few minutes" Zooble explained as the picture painted by that description was already terrifying for the people present in the court as the idea of a childish prison where there was no escape even through death was already a bit worrisome but a warden that held ultimate power but having ultimate incompetence was also scary
"He makes adventures for you to play to keep you sane, one moment he can do something tame like making you play at a country fair to get blue ribbons from playing activities, the other he makes you explore a haunted mansion where you're chased by a monster that if you harm it will cause you to be sent to a fake hell were evil spirits will take over your body and use it as a meat puppet while you're forced to watch in the back of your mind as they take the place of the monster and try to kill anyone else in the adventure" Pomni said as she used her contrasting experiences from two adventures she participated in to set a general idea of how absurd things could get, in one she simply entered a pie eating contest and won while simply getting a bit sick from overeating, the other left some mental scars that still haunted her whenever she closed her eyes because that angel was going to torment her nightmares forever
"There's no escape and no sweet relief of death, the closest to a way out is when you abstract, where you go absolutely insane and your body deforms into a black mass filled with glowing eyes, acting like a wild animal that attacks anyone and everything. Then he sends you to the cellar, where you are forced to stay permanently in complete darkness as a mentally broken parody of yourself for all eternity" Gangle finished adding as the last bit of what was so horrifying about the place as it closest thing to escape being basically just mental death while being still alive, as for the rest of the court thought on how that still meant that the soul of the person would never rest as it is kept to live such a horrific existence was a dreadful thought
"Oh god... H-how do you know any of this?" Melty asked as it seemed that the circus gang was scarily knowledgeable on the subject and they seemed to speak from experience
"Because it was where we had been trapped before getting summoned, why do you think we aren't well in the head?" Jax answered as the court trembled, now their odd behavior made a lot more sense and even earned pity from some there present
-Podcast-
"Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the spear's tip! Today we have a special guest! You may know her as the current projectile heroine, I would like to introduce you all to Gangle!" Motoyasu said as he pointed to his co-host for this episode of his podcast, the ribbon girl waved as she was seated on the left of Motoyasu and was wearing a large oversized hoodie with the words "Sex Master" on it
"Hi everyone, it's my first time on the show so forgive me if I'm nervous" Gangle said as she was a bit embarrassed as this would be her first time doing one of these things
"Today we will be talking about a topic most would never consider, the topic of monster fucking!" Motoyasu said excitedly as Gangle perked up at the topic, being the second biggest freak in the circus behind Bubbles meant she was well versed on said topic, especially when most of her interactions in recent years had been exclusively with non humans and monsters. Motoyasu pressed a button as an image appeared on the screen of the first monster they would be discussing... Which was someone Gangle knew
"... Is that Pomni? Wait are we going to talk about my friends?" Gangle asked as she looked at Motoyasu a bit confused on why there was a image of Pomni in her new world appearance on the screen, the spear hero nonchalantly nodding
"Correct, now I'll start by saying that I'm kind of digging the whole red and blue look, and the jester motif is really doing it for me. Now I will say that I will have to knock a few points because her eyes are a bit disturbing, too big for that head and the pin wheels feel creepy, not to mention those teeth would give the worst head. Her noodle arms and legs are also not really inspiring much confidence in bed, she would probably lack the stamina to go even a few seconds, and she has no assets as well, don't care if it's better for agility based builds like her but she has no cake and no rack" Motoyasu explained why he found it hard to consider the jester viable for a nightly activities and overall lack of attractiveness. As Gangle looked at him with a dead pan look trying to understand why she was here
"... Oh I see, that's why I'm here for the show, to prove how absolutely wrong you are" Gangle nodded her head as she understood now that she was here to enlighten Motoyasu and his fans of why they were objectively wrong in finding the admittedly now monstrous members of her friends group not attractive
"Well firstly, Pomni's jester motif already makes her alluring as jesters are the slutty variant of a clown. Second is that Pomni is a stamina beast, she can go for three rounds and still go for fourths, just ask Gummigoo and Ragatha. Third is that you don't know how stretchable she is, the things she can fit in both holes would astonish you, her throat game is insane. And forth, with a few tight straps and air pump, she can get herself any proportion she wants. Really you would have to be crazy to not smash that baddie of clown" Gangle explained to Motoyasu why Pomni was simply peak for bed activities, the spear hero must really have no creativity if he hadn't thought of some of this stuff, heck she could list even more stuff but then the audience at home would probably vomit if they were too weak minded to handle it
"Okay, guess you made your points pretty clear, might have to reconsider my judgement on her, but how about this one?" Motoyasu asked as an image of Ragatha appeared on the screen, in her new world appearance just like Pomni's
"That's an easy smash, because why would you pass on Ragatha? Her soft body is perfect to cuddle and rest with, not to mention how sweet she is and her caretaker personality makes her an ideal partner, dare I say she might even be a milf!" Gangle explained why Ragatha would be an excellent choice both in and out of bed, though at times she felt Ragatha's positive words didn't genuine from how much she said them, that didn't mean Gangle wasn't appreciative of the ragdoll's efforts to cheer everyone up, and such a lovely personality paired with a adequate body of a ragdolly as sweet as it could be made Ragatha a excellent choice
"Meh, those are solid points but she is just kind of too big for me, she is too tall and too wide, I'm fine with some larger ladies but nine feet tall and wider than a door? No thank you" Motoyasu explained, he wasn't fatphobic by any means but there was a difference for him between a chubby woman and obese one, and unfortunately for Ragatha that's where she currently stayed due to the shield's mentality of "bigger is better for defending" when making her evolve
"Well yes but that's because of the legendary shield altering her to better fit the role of the tank while having to work with the fact she is a ragdoll. Plus, a woman who can crush you with their soft expanse of bodily bulk? Sign me up" Gangle said as she was not afraid to admit that she had no qualms and even enjoyed larger women and men, she didn't draw a bbw anthropomorphic Gloinks Queen making out with the Fudge monster for nothing, even if Ragatha could end up suffocating her under all that stuffing it was a death she would be happy to go out on
"Alright, then how about this one? I know you and this Zooble fella are best friends but what would rate their fuckability at?" Motoyasu asked as an animated gif of Zooble appeared in the screen, changing between different combinations of limbs they had used at various moments, Gangle tapped a hand to her chin as she began thinking
"... Pre New world and back at the circus would be 5 out of 10, would have to be extremely creative to get things done. After getting in the New world? Easy, 20 out of 10! They can equip themselves with parts from basically anything as long as it was absorbed in the axe, that's infinite possibilities in bed to live your wildest fantasies!" Gangle explained why Zooble was a top tier choice, the amalgam would always hold a special place in Gangle's heart for being the bestest friend she could ever want but being completely honest with herself now, Zooble would be a box of surprises in bed, just the thought of having intercourse with a mix match of monsters would excite any true monster connoisseur
"You're just saying that because you two are besties or something" Motoyasu replied as he was willing to bet there was some bias since the ribbon girl and amalgam were dare he say "roommates" level of friends
"Trust me, when I put on this hoodie, I have no bias when judging sex appeal. Like take for an example Jax, I hate his guts with a passion but I will say that he is hot, Tumblr sexy man levels of hot" Gangle said as a image of Jax after his most recent evolution came on the screen, his lanky and skinny limbs that seemed to contort in the wrong ways and his big grin that consumed half of his face with those rotten looking yellow sharp teeth would make most scream, Gangle meanwhile would stay in place staring at it and mentally saying "would"
"Ew, would you seriously do it with that thing? It is so lanky and skinny, not to mention those rotten yellow teeth" Motoyasu as that rabbit thing reminded him of some ripoff Slenderman or Huggy Wuggy, which were both a big no in his list
"There's a reason I have the hoodie with the words "sex master" on it and not you. In fact show us one monster you would fuck, for the viewers at home!" Gangle said as she wanted to see what messed up stuff Motoyasu had as his choice, if it was something plain and boring like a conventionally attractive woman with fox ears and tail then she would use her powers to expose him for the tasteless fraud he was, but if it was something conversation worthy like Godzilla or the alien queen from Alien then he might just about redeem himself in her eyes
"Alright, alright I guess since you insist, here's my beloved Freon, the pinnacle of perfection!" Motoyasu said as the screen showed an image of a young little girl with long blonde hair, blue eyes and wearing a cute dress, having wings coming out of her back. She reminded Gangle of a few child support characters from magical girl animes she watched but the fact that she was in this episode about monsters you would like to have sex with and was the host choice made her very uneasy
"... That's a child" Gangle said in a dead pan tone as she looked at the photo and then at Motoyasu, finding his pick for this "monster fucking" chat to be a child being very wrong and incriminating as she tightened her grip on her throwing knife in case Motoyasu said something sus
"No, it's an angel, don't you see the wings?" Motoyasu clarified but knowing what species she was looking at wasn't the problem Gangle had with the choice
"Yes that's a angel but it still looks like a child. Does it at least have a fucked up eldritch form? Like Caine's angel?" Gangle asked as a image of the angel from the Mildenhall manor adventure came up on the screen, and Motoyasu almost fell from his chair when he jumped in fear of the thing
"Jesus! Take that thing away and send it to hell where it belongs! No, freon does not transform into a horrifying fuck like that!" Motoyasu shouted as he was both disgusted and terrified of whatever nightmare that creature had spawned from, no way in hell would his beloved waifu Freon ever have anything close to this disgusting monster
"... So let me get this straight, you called me to your show to talk smack about my friends who suffer from body image issues, and your choice for this monster fucking chat is a child with some wings glued to her back?" Gangle asked her "generous" host with a more pissed off expression, did this lolicon choose her friends just to bash on their appearance just to say a child is more sexually attractive? Oh she was not going to let that slide
"Well, like my mother always said, a world with one less pedophile is a better world" Gangle said as she pulled out her vassal projectiles and prepared to eliminate Motoyasu from the face of the world, or at least try and reeducate him into not being a creep and have a more normal taste in people
