As they walked though the halls of the Airship, Rugal snatched up a cup of Rose's tea without even a hello or a thank you.
Least until he actually drank it, spitting it out violently once the extreme sweetness kicked in.
"UGH! Who the Hell pissed in a cup and called it Tea?!" He shouted angrily before smashing the cup onto the ground.
"YOU!" He shouted as he paced over to Rose, clearly not at all pleased with service.
Suddenly the heroes felt a strange sensation as if part of their mind was being pulled somewhere else. They began to feel dizzy, Puce, Caim, Angelus, Amaya, and Tomoya among them went into a dream like state. They saw a large tree Tomoya recognized it as the tree Dillon was sleeping under when they first met him and surprisingly Dillon was there in his black Jacket jeans and t-shirt.
"Hello my friends it's good to see you one last time."
"What do you mean last time?" asked Amaya, Dillon looked strange she then realized the look in his eyes it was the same one he gave when he was dying, he had accepted his fate then and it seemed he had again, smoke started to drift off of him in elegant silver streams.
"My friends My journey is near and end and so I must complete the hardest step, the journey home, I don't belong in this world, I must find my place in the real world." a single tear rolled down his check he smiled and laughed softly
"I learned so much about myself, just from my adventures here, I can?t possibly thank you enough, I feel like I owe some of my growth to this place and a part of me wants to stay."
The others watched, this wasn?t like the times Dillon had faced mortal peril; he was choosing to truly vanish.
"But you can't leave yet what about all the unfinished business like rugal-"
Dillon raised his hand.
"I've made my choice and those journeys and trial are for others to complete. Before I used to feel alone, that my life meant little but I know now that was never true, you helped me see that, a part of me wishes to stay and there will be a part of me that will always be here."
He laughed Dillon was fading slowly disappearing as more smoke drifted off his body.
"DO not be disheartened you will always be held a place in my heart, you helped me on my ways. Forever shall I remember you." he smiled he was almost gone now; his eyes were the most distinguishable feature left.
"Where are you going? Can we ever see you again?"
"Perhaps, you have to trust in your fate to realize your destiny can be as great as the sky, please remember me, and tell my tale to those who ask tell it truly the ill deeds along with the good and let me be judged accordingly, the rest is silence."
with that Dillon fully disappeared into smoke and trailed into the sky, the heroes watched as the sky took on a change a new constellation formed the heroes could see it was Dillon with his wings of light wielding two swords.
"He was a true hero the gods hung a portrait of him up in the stars, may he be remembered forever and live on in our hearts.
He laughed and patted her on the back. "Teleportation is fairly unreliable by its design, especially when you're traveling to different universes. Slindis is onboard the ship for right now, but I can't call any of us safe here. Not with a rogue Archangel on our hands with a good number of the Host backing him."
"yes, magic has never been an exact science. but what's this i hear about a rogue archangel? it seems ironic that an angel would be my first foe in this dimension" she sighs, her blood is evil by lineage, and an angel's is good... she sometimes wondered if it would be possible that if she was the exception to tiefling evil, if an angel could defy their closeness to the divine. but she never thought the two scenarios would cross paths.
As Rugal was expressing his dissatisfaction with his drink, The Preacher was walking down the hallway, looking to check any of the bodies of the dead SOU operatives and alert anyone to the threat Charlie alluded to. He turned a corner to see Rose and Rugal. "Well hello there, I'm The Preacher, the closest thing to a chaplin on this vessel. Ooh tea! Man of the cloth could always do with a cup." He picked a cup of the tray. "I hope you don't mind if I do." He lifted the mug to his mouth. Haven't had a decent cuppa in ag- UUUUURG TOO MUCH SUGAR DEAR. He tried to mask his wincing. "Its l-l-l-lovely d-dear, i-i-i-it really is".
"Oh, Back-talking now are we?! Now you listen to me you spineless piece of sh-" "Well hello there, I'm The Preacher, the closest thing to a chaplin on this vessel. Ooh tea! Man of the cloth could always do with a cup."
Rugal was about to warn him about Rose's Dreadful Tea making skills, but found it more entertaining to watch him suffer though the unbearable sweetness.
"...Well....It's a Good thing I'm in a good mood now. That display just saved your life. But know this, if you so much as touch a single piece of consumables that I so much as THINK of enjoying."
He Leaned in, his 6'10 and extremely muscular build towing over her.
"...Well...Just make sure that doesn't happen, Understood?" He threatened.
Alucard stepped inbetween the three of them and not bothering to care about the reprecussions, forced all three of their heads to the same window on the port side. in the distance, they saw something with a purple Aura flying at high speeds towards the ship.
He threw up a wall of darkness as the object slammed into the ship, protecting the four of the gathered group.
When the dust settled and the wall dropped, he saw someone who he had never seen before. Picture source
The woman was standing with the scythe across her back. "So.... HAve any of you seen my father?" she asked then reached out into her pocket and pulled out a picture of sane Daniel; showing it to all of those gathered.
"Alucard!? What the Hell Ar-"
Rugal got his answer as the Woman crashed into the side of the ship.
He coughed as the Dust Settled around them.
"...I JUST HAD THIS SUIT ORDERED!" He barked out in anger as she asked about her father.
"Yeah, sure, like he's worth more then this $5000 suit...Let me see..." He said as he took a look at the photo.
"....No...doesn't look like anyone I killed..." He flatly stated before he looked at the others.
"I'll let you 3 deal with this. I have more important things to do then help some one night stand find some low-life drunk. Good Day." He said as he went to leave.
"Well, he certainly isn't Carlos Sandiego, CAUSE THATS ME!" Alucard said sarcastically.
"Well, then i guess you wouldn't be interested to find out what happened to the father of Amaya Hatashi and the Grandfather of Luna Hatashi, each of who beat you and your little squad to the brink of death. He was one of the gods of this universe and created myself and the now queen of Hell. After sacrificing himself to save this universe from eternal rule by his older corrupt self, his existence was shattered and spread across the universe." She explained and released the cap she had holing on her powerlevel to keep it low.
Rugal could feel power that came close to rivaling his own stored within the girl. She began speaking again "And he promised to return to me one day, if he doesn't all of that power is up for grabs."
"Yes, magic has never been an exact science. But what's this i hear about a rogue archangel? It seems ironic that an angel would be my first foe in this dimension"
He nodded. "Yes, an archangel. The Archangel of Lightning, to be precise. And no matter if they come from the heavens or the abyss, the end results are the same: one of the largest cities in the country was eradicated for kicks. Right now, your main focus should be on preparing to fight them before more fall to them. We'll have aid from unusual sources, but it'll do us no good if there's nothing left to defend. How about we get a small drink here?" Tired of waiting, he walked onto the nearby Canteen.
Melethia shook her head at Rugal's rude words. "Wheathair, you don't need to be mean to her because she likes her drinks a bit sweet. See, I'll try it myself! It can't be that bad...'
As she drank it, she could feel the sugar rush to her head and her eyes dilated from the energy in the cup. "Whoa, Rose!" She blinked rapidly as the main wave of the sugar kicked in, surely bringing her close to some form of diabetes. "Thatfeelsweird.Maybeyoucouldputinsomethingelseforflavor?" Her words came out almost too fast to understand.
Another day, another Demi God Rugal thought as he went on the same story everyone had these days, It seems like in his quest for power, he started some sort of sick tend, people wanting insane amounts of power for their own ends.
".....You think a tall tale and some flexing is enough to impress me? If he is the father of all of those people, Including the "Queen of Hell", Then I have one question...."
He turned around and stared at the traveller.
"Why am I allowed to do the things I do if so many powerful people don't want me to?...." He asked with a smirk before he kept walking.
"Tell your "God-Father" to lose some weight, then we'll talk...."
"For every good here is an evil, you can't survive without the other. Because there are heroes, we know what is bad and becvause there are villains, we know what is good. He gave me all of the memories of past creations, like Akasumi." She said as Rugal continued walking.
"I wasn't created until my crazed father and vampiric mother brought me into this world as a child. When i met my sane father, he was kind and caring. He left me with the memories of past creations so i knew what to do and what not to do. And i know that you couldn't kill tomoya when you had him strapped to that machine that siphoned his angelic power. And that Viscus or Wekser, who ever it was; couldn't properly control and fight stella. She escaped with a fucking portal gun and high fall boots! Against heavily armed men non the less!" she said following him at this point.
"He created the xenomorph infestation and he cared about a few people in this world... enought to give himself so it could continue on. IF you want to test me Rugal Then look at my power and lilly's and the general power that flows from this universe. You'll see my father's traces in us..." She said.
"Right now, your main focus should be on preparing to fight them before more fall to them. We'll have aid from unusual sources, but it'll do us no good if there's nothing left to defend. How about we get a small drink here?" Tired of waiting, he walked onto the nearby Canteen.
following him to the canteen she asks him "is there any place in specific i could practice against them without the danger of dying? I've been trying to shape new spells for myself to use... never an easy process, but recently I've been working on one in particular that may become useful. increasing gravity's effect upon them so their wings can no longer carry them would be useful if i could master it." after that, she pours herself a glass of wine, and begins reading a rather hefty book... it doesn't seem she's gotten far into it at all.
Rugal stopped for a moment as the Woman raved on about her power and the power of others, not really caring.
In a world where Angels laid waste to entire cities, why should he?
"....
1. I actually Killed Tomoya afterwards, if you are so clever, you would have known that. He was just kind enough to get up so I could kill him again, though that was interrupted.
2. Those were armed Zombies, not the same thing.
This conversation is over. Enjoy finding your dead universal Father..."
And so he walked away from the latest add-on to this mad crew.
"is there any place in specific i could practice against them without the danger of dying? I've been trying to shape new spells for myself to use... never an easy process, but recently I've been working on one in particular that may become useful. increasing gravity's effect upon them so their wings can no longer carry them would be useful if i could master it."
Tajuh shrugged. "There was a training room here, but it was recently destroyed. That's for a different time, though: there's been a meeting called in the kitchen, and it would behoove us to be there." Kalastryn could see Slindis and Melethia move over to the kitchen for the meeting, although Melethia seemed a bit more hyper than usual.
Tajuh shrugged. "There was a training room here, but it was recently destroyed. That's for a different time, though: there's been a meeting called in the kitchen, and it would behoove us to be there."
"I see, i just hope the crew of this fine vessel won't mind meeting a new face at such an event. especially a devilish one like myself, Personally I've taken too much intolerance over the years for the devourer to swallow, not that you'll hear me complain about it often." she gets up from her seat, finally taking her eyes off her book, downs her wine and moves to follow Slindis and Melethia.
Jake smiled at Puce and gave him a good shake. "G"day mate, nice to meet ya. I'm Jake, Author. Akane and Jack were 'mine' in a sense. Excuse me..." Jake said as he stood up.
"HEY GUYS! Kitchen ain't big enough for a meeting, have it out here in the Canteen proper! Silly new Anime kid of Shaun's! THAT MEANS YOU! ...What? I should know this airship, spent so much of my free time writing about it!" Jake shouted before backing up his case in an offhanded way.
Sitting back down, he opened the bottle of Sake he had liberated. "Sake? ....Riiiiiight..."
Aftan, Akane and Gabrielle had all put forth a cup to be filled. Jake gave a small sigh and filled them, keeping the half empty bottle for himself.
"So Jake, as Aftan asked... What about this other Kitsune?" Akane asked quietly.
"This will take a bit of explaining. Bear with me. See, I like Kitsune, so Akane, I think you're the 4th Kitsune I've 'created'. Anyways, the one I created specifically for me, her name is Kasai Mio. She is part of the Harem Knights 'verse/plane/setting, created by a group of people on a website called 4chan. An ...Interesting place to say the least, it is home to some of the worst people on the internet, and the best. The board, that is, partition, that created the Harem Knights is called /tg/, Traditional Games. Storytelling, Choose your own adventure Quest threads, Wat do?, Card games, Dungeons and Dragons, Board games, Roleplaying, creativity. Our motto is '/tg/ Gets shit done!'. The Harem Knights came about from a Wat do thread, where a Wizard summoned you to a new world and you could take only one thing with you, generic fantasy so Elves Dwarves Dragons Magic... But mostly Monstergirls. Kawaii, Cute girls that share characteristics with various Monsters and mythical creatures. Kitsune, Slimes, Lamia, Catgirls, Foxgirls, Dragons, Angels, Demons, Half-anythings. Teri, if you could use your tablet to provide some images please?
Anyway, we created a world, full of opportunity, and then began to write ourselves in as the main characters. But what would we do? Survive, first. The number of us summoned was 4,000 to begin with. We arrived at the start of a brutal winter, and half perished from the cold, from poor hygiene, from hunger, from Elven arrows. Midway through winter, we were rescued by a traveling tribe of Felim, Catpeople. Much rejoicing was had as they healed our sick, shared their supplies and helped establish a small town. They saved us, they really did. Turns out, they were just happy to meet a bunch of humans who didn't want to kill them on sight. Then Sir Gavran stood up at a meeting and declared that we was in his childhood fantasy, and he just wanted to 'rub some elf ears, dammit!'. And so, the Harem Knights were born. The next day, 2,000 pissed off, hungry and desperate fa/tg/uys, our name for ourselves, poking fun, it's a lame joke... Well, we attacked the elven village that was killing us off for sport. We fought a brutal and short battle, killing their warriors and liberating their women who were under magical spells to obey and be docile. Well, that was it. We began to take 'Waifu's', a term used in the real world by nerds and the like for their anime girl they would like to have as a wife. Nerd culture is weird like that. Anyways, who doesn't want a Harem of loving girls? All we had to do was rescue them, and it seemed every girl was in need of a Knight. So Knights we became. Castle Waifu was born after we took over the Wizard's Castle. Bastard summoned us out of sheer boredom and to see if he could. Fuckin' Wizards, no sense of right nor wrong. He was put to trial by a court of the first knights. I was there. The vote was unanimous. For his crimes, including Mass Manslaughter and Gross Criminal Negligence, he was sentenced to death.
After that, I traveled, protecting trader caravans. First trip out, end up at a seaside town, nothing of note happens, until slavers return to town. They had a large haul, easy two dozen captured catgirls, and a single Kitsune. That's also how I earned my new name in that verse. Kasai, fire, cause I snuck aboard, freed the slaves, and set their ship on fire. I just happened to have a beaten and weak Kitsune in my arms at the time. Her family had been killed whilst traveling by the slavers, and well, that's how I got my Waifu. All written up by me.
And now... Now I believe that there is a place out there, that actually is the world of Mithterrah, the Harem Knights world. And Mio is out there, hugging her Sir Kasai, who is a much more badass version of me. So there you go girls, a Tale of my past and just what we Authors are capable of, given time. I feel like shit now, knowing that what was a game, some fun, is real to them... So yeah Akane, you got your family.... And yeah... Just, shit, I need a moment."
Jake stood and left hurriedly, breaking into a run as he cleared the door. Though he had never actually set foot inside the Rising Dawn before, he knew where to go by instinct. He stopped when he reached the Training Room. it was in pristine condition, repaired by BlackHearte that Jake knew was aboard. Reaching out to the console, Jake set the room up as a basic empty room and then entered. He stood in the middle of the room and let the tears fall. There was nothing he could do but repent.
"I wouldn't have done it, Gods above I wouldn't have created any of them had I of known! When this is sorted, I have to visit the Pub, and get Mark to help me apologize to all my creations. Gods hear me! I swear it!"
Tears still flowing freely, he drew his sword and began to practice, his face a grim mask of sadness.
"that wouldn't be necessary stranger, I've spent plenty of time in an alternate plane training in the use of fire magics. I'd actually like to spend some time on this one for a change, where i actually know a few people." she chuckles "i do thank you for the offer however"
Tajuh joined Slin and Melethia in the kitchen and raised an eyebrow upon seeing Riki and Kud. Schoolchidren are taking the reins here. If I hadn't seen this before in Riksent, it would be very easy to find this utterly depressing.
Melethia was still fairly hyper from the tea and proceeded to look over the outfits. "Sowhy'dyacallushere?Mustabeenimportant,sosayit!"
The drow laughed as she tried to calm her overactive daughter. [color=c20000]"I think she's wondering why you called this meeting. She's Melethia, I'm Slindis, and the human that followed us in is Tajuh."[/color]
