Round 1 : Asonja vs Mel
Asonja arrived onto the battlefield, with no weapons in particular. The battlefield was all grass, with barely any trees in sight. He stood there for a moment, then shook his head. "Uhh...why am I here again?" He asked himself.

Mel stood up from the grass, wiping it off her hoodie. "Uh, I dunno? Uh..."

He looked at her for a moment. "Huh...so uh...I see you're made of metal..." He held his necklace for a moment. "What kind of metal is it?"

"W-" The identity's eyes lit up white as she stepped back. "Y-ye'r a mind reader?  How..."

"It's really obvious. I've been one before." He says. "And I dont read minds. Im...not that special." He says, looking away. He held his necklace tighter.

"... I-erm..." She tapped her feet a few times. "What... do you mean it's obvious?"

He sighed and continued to look around other than her eyes. He looked at tree like he was talking to it from far away, but stayed in normal tone. "Well, it's your eyes. They were just like mine when I was a metal. LED lights for eyes, they flash the color of my emotion...well not that much but still."

"... Wwwait... y- you were a robot or something?" She peered.

"Yep. I went to Greece and I got kidnapped and turned into a robot." He shrugged, like it was no big deal.

Mel just blinked a few times at the strange story. "That... okay... w- hold on, why are we here?"

"I dunno. I think we have to...fight or something?" He said. He was looking at a daffodil on the ground. "I think that's what we need to do."

"... Fight..." She muttered out, turning about the area. "You... you said something about being here again.  You've fought here before?"

"Not really...you see, Im not really...a fighting type. Im more of a...what's the word...a Pacifist I think is the right word." He says, seeming to back away for a moment.

"... Then why'd you say fight?" She peered a bit more.

"Hey, it wasnt MY decision..." He crossed his arms, looking away still. "I just...thought it would make me...a great challenge to other people..."

The identity tensed her hands into fists, raising them slightly in a defensive stance. "What are you talking about?"

"I dont fight, okay? Im terrible at it.." He stated. He didnt get into any position at all. "Just attack me and you'll find out why."

"Uh..." The identity stepped closer at first, but her foot weighed hard on the ground. "I... I don't want to hit you..."

"I know...but...we have to fight. We cant get out of this area until one of us is defeated." He exclaimed.

(Just to make sure, do I need to have her actually attack first to get this started? Just making sure.)

(It can start with anyone. Once the first attack is made, the fight begins.)

"... Um..." In a quick second the identity zipped up in front of Asonja, giving him a brief fisted-bump on the back before jumping back tensely.

He stumbled forward and turned around. He stepped back a little bit, rubbing his back. He just walked up to her and lightly hit her shoulder with an "Eh" sound. He pulled back his hand, rubbing it. "Ow that kinda hurt a little..."

"This... isn't working..." Mel mumbled.

"Yeah. I can see that." He stated. He backed away at a safe distance, looking away again.

"What do we do?"

"Well...you might just have to defeat me. I'll be resurrected afterwards but I wont be able to fight anymore."

"... So we just have to fight? That's all?"

"Pretty much, yes." He nodded, but was looking a bit pale. "But dont worry about me...I'll be fine."

"... Okay..." Her eyes gave a small yellow spark, if only for a moment. Her arm began to light up with a surge of red energy, growing into a larger fist. She stepped toward him.

He was a bit tense, holding onto his necklace. He put his head down and closed his eyes. "D-dont hold anything back...just end this quickly so we wont waste anymore time..." He shivered a bit when he spoke. She noticed how small he was, even as a 16 year old.

"Just stop talking," She snapped quickly with a wince. She swung her arm around, smashing at his chest with a force of around 50 pounds in hardened metal.

He got flung off to the side and evaporated into dust, a grey hollow heart was the only thing that appeared afterwards. But then after a few seconds, it started to crack. It then shattered, and a text box appeared in front of Mel saying: "YOU WIN! Move to Round 2 or switch to another character?"

"... What?" She looked over the screen. "Round two?"

It changed, like it listened. "Yes. You or someone else will be fighting another opponent until all opponents are knocked out. Basically like a, 'Winner takes all' battle royale."

"... Do people die?"

"''In battle, yes. But they're resurrected everyone but one stands." ''It changed to two options: "Change Character" and "Move on to Round 2"

"Uh... Round... two... I guess."

It vanished and a bigger textbox appeared, giving her her next opponent.

Round Two: Zikuto vs Mel
Zikuto appeared suddenly and notices her. He immediately got into position. "Well, you heard the Anonymous textbox. Lets go ya hunk of junk!" His German accent was pretty heavy, but still easy to understand.

"... Right..." Mel charged her other fist into an increased-mass form, lighting them both up as she shot small bolts of energy repeatedly at Zikuto.

He moved with surprising speed but got hit with one in the chest. It knocked him but, making him slide a few feet backwards. He dashed toward her and aimed a right kick toward her neck.

Immediately from the impact, Mel was shoved back a bit, but the weight of her arms combined with the impact sent them flying forward in a clap directly at Zikuto's leg.

"ARGH!" A loud crack was heard just after impact as he collapsed, holding his disoriented leg. "Welp, that's a problem."

Mel shook her head a bit, looking down at Zikuto. Her arms reverted to their regular shape. She stared at him a moment, eyes changing between a red and a purple. Her right arm started to change into a hollow tube.

He got up again, getting back into position. He was slightly sloppy, but he remained up.

Mel turned aside, her cannon-arm directed at him, lighting up to fire.

He noticed got in blocking position since he couldnt dodge.

Seeing that he wasn't going to move made Mel reluctant, but she fired regardless. A thick stream of red tubed-shaped energy, spasming outward at the sides, surged forward from the cannon in an eight-inch radius.

It hit his arms, burning them and moving him back. The remaining energy went around and over him as the energy pushed him back foot by foot. It suddenly broke, and he was completely engulfed in it. He yelled in agony and when the energy beam faded, A cyan heart much like Asonja's appeared and shattered. The textbox appeared again, "YOU WIN! Move to Round 3 or Switch?"

(You REALLY like Undertale)

(It sounds more basic than just dying and vanishing. After all, the battle IS a game x3)

Mel tapped the Round 3 option immediately. She did not appear any more confident, but a tad jittery. Her hand did not return to its original form.

"So..you're my challenger?" They said. "Hmm...it's not as fun when you're a robot...lifeless...and bloodless." They examined their knife for a moment, which was already bloody.

Round 3(?): ??? vs Mel
"I'm not a robot," Mel called back, looking around.

They just smirked and their knife glowed red. They sliced vertically in the air, drawing a curved line. That said line rushed towards Mel quickly.

Mel jumped to the side.

They made two more slice marks, and they rushed to her.

Mel quickly teleported some feet back. "Where are you?" She kept looking around.

They didnt seem to have a reading on their location. More and more slice marks kept appearing in random directions. "I keep my self invisible so you wont be shocked as to who I am..." They said.

Mel kept jumping and teleporting, but she couldn't keep up with the random shots. Once she started getting hit, the strikes kept coming, knocking her back and forth.

They amped up the power and size once they got her. Then with one final strike, it knocked her into the air and back down toward the ground. From there, she saw their position just 50 feet away.

Mel's front was crumbled a bit, cratered holes around as she began reforming the damaged areas. She got up, rushing toward the figure.

When she got close enough, the figure moved, and she saw a similar necklace to that of Asonja's but their shirt was green with a white stripe in the middle and on the sleeves. They digged the knife into her back, but pulled it out as her metal was barely punctured. It just had a dent where the knife hit as well as a slit on her coat.

Mel whipped her arm around, sending a wave-swipe of energy at the figure.

That knocked them away creating a heavy impact on the ground. They got back up and spread their arms out. Suddenly, Mel saw some black circles on the ground, surrounding her.

Mel's feet lit up as she began awkwardly flying upward before trying to land away from the circles.

Suddenly, a black tentacle, from what it looks like, grabbed onto her leg. More wrapped around her body and thrusted her back down onto the ground.

Mel winced from the impact, flaying a bit as she tried to pull out from the appendage.

She felt a foot on her head, pushing it back down. This time she got a good look at the figure. They had the same trench coat as Asonja, same necklace and the same hair. Even the same face as Asonja but their eyes were red.

"You're not as strong as I had hoped. Why not just give up and become the dust in the wind..." They said, smirking. This guy looked way too much like Asonja, that it was hardly unbelievable.

"Shut up!" Mel yelled, spasms of energy popping around her as her body heated up more.

They backed off a bit, but continued to smirk. "What's wrong? Are you afraid of my appearance?" They laughed a bit. They even sounded like a Asonja.

Mel didn't respond, but instead just kept attempting to struggle until the energy build-up was too much, sending a blast upward from her body.

They jumped back, gripping the knife tightly. "What the...?"

The body ripped out, parts of it breaking off to escape as Mel began reforming in the air.

They grunted, watching and gripping the knife. They backed away a bit too.

Crumbling clumps of nanites formed into an arm. Mel screamed at the ??? person while firing energy at them, small explosions going off in Mel's nanites.

Their eyes widened a bit, getting with the energy. They backed off to the side, dodging as many as possible, even trying to deflect them with the knife. It's surprising how much durability that knife has...

Mel rushed forward at them, going through the energy that continued to burn away at her. She swiped and punched wildly with the energy still shooting about.

They flailed about from the constant speed and energy, soon catching up a bit by making a slicing motion with their knife. Unfortunately that knife was deflected away by another hit, making them defenseless.

With a constantly breaking and regrowing hand, Mel reached at the person, a large spread of energy still trying to destroy them as Mel screamed distortedly.

They gripped her arm as much as they could trying to pull themselves away. In their perspective, they weren't doing so well just by breathing. "W-wh...WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!" The figure was clearly a male at this point.

If the identity was responding, it wasn't very audible. Her nanites spread around the figure, still burning, collapsing into the ground.

He looked a bit worried. "P-please! Y-you dont have to kill me! Y-you can...you can spare me! Share some mercy, please!" He kept pleading.

She didn't respond. With her body still breaking apart, spiked apendages shot out to silence the enemy.

His eyes widened a bit, seeming to fade back to grey. He fell limp for a moment, but looked at her, confused a bit. He couldnt speak now.

The nanite body imploded soon after, all that remaining being a pile of black sand, sparking red energy.

A text box showed up saying that she wont the matches and that another one of her selected friends will fight the same people since she basically got a "Perfect". Before she could protest or do anything, the areana was repaired and she was teleported outside of the area, showing a forcefield around the battlefield.

The same textbox showed up, asking her who to bring into the battlefield. She saw the same names as before: "Asonja, Zikuto, [Glitched up mess option]" as the opponent section and "Rynk, "The Triplets, and ???" as the ally section. This gave her the impression that she was controlling everything at this point.

(What do I do here now?)

(Mel will now select who fights whom in any random order. Basically it's now a free for all, Team deathmatch, 2v2, etc etc. She can add herself into the battle too.)

(Ah. Well technically Mel just died in a sense but I suppose I can just have her come back then. I'll respond in a bit.)

(Okay. I can wait. Take your time .3.)

"Can... I can just switch to someone else?" She asked.

"Basically, of course! You can put yourself in there or someone you know who will also be fighting with you" The textbox responded

"I-I'll just have someone else take my place then..."

"''Alright. Please select a member from your team." ''The textbox typed and showed a list of her friends to choose from.

"... Uh... I ..." She selected the question option.

The option vanished as it was selected. The figure she spawned showed up in the battlefield.

''Please choose an opponent. ''The options for opponents showed up. Strangely how there was two now instead of 3.

"... Both? Yeah... let's do that..."

Just like that, both Zikuto and Asonja showed up on the battlefield looking at themselves and then their opponent. They both had no idea where Mel was and who their opponent was.

Asonja yelped and went behind Zikuto. "W-who is that?" He said, as Zikuto trying to pry him off his back.

A red turtle-neck high-short-sleeve dress, black markings, formed, and was filled seconds later by a brown body with red stripes, long black hair with a single green strand in front, and one in back. The figure was humming. 

(Nice piano playing skills o.o) Zikuto finally pried Asonja off of him and looked at the figure intently. "Who're you?"

"A Virus," She replied with a smile, attention turning to Zikuto, titling her head just enough to cause her hair to sway a bit. "And you?" (Much thanks)

Zikuto was a bit confused but answered anyway. "Zikuto. A wolf...And this is Asonja...the Pacifist Weakling." Asonja sighed and didnt protest with that.

"Oh I'm sure he's much more than that..." She took a step toward them.

"What do you mean he's more than a Pacifist? He doesnt kill anything for any reason, not even bad guys!" Zikuto said, crossing his arms.

"I mean..." She knelt down, fingers moving around the nanite sand left behind by Mel. Small trickles of energy licked up to her fingers. "Yes... I'd like to see it."

Asonja was a bit concerned and well-hidden. Unfortunately she saw inside him clearly. He had a light grey soul oddly shaped like a heart with black vines going around it. This meant that he has darkness in him aching to be released.

The feline stood up, whipping her fingers to the air, a glowing blue liquid forming around them. "You see this? This is what a soul tastes like... a core... Plenty to go around..."

Zikuto didnt seem to trust it and moved out of the way. Asonja stood in the center, confused.

"Heh... hee he- HA!" Like a sneeze almost, an implosion of red dust shot around her, vanishing almost immediately after she seemed to vanish.

Asonja tipped his finger in the liquid for a moment and takes a small lick, curious. Zikuto stepped forward for a second. "ASONJA WHAT THE HELL?!"

The feline reformed behind Zikuto, leaning her head next to his shoulder. "Told you he was more..."

Asonja looked a little bit disgusted for a moment. "What the heck kind of a taste is this?" Zikuto looked a bit weirded out and said, "Asonja come on, it could be some kind of poison..."

"You don't like my taste?" She smirked. "Ba-boom," A jolting spasm shot forward in a circular motion, blasting to knock them both forward.

They both fell near each other, Asonja not seeming to get up. Zikuto got up and growled. "If you wanted me to try it, you should've just told me..." He said, looking down at Asonja for a moment.

"You like to act aggressive don't you?" She titled her head at Zikuto. "That's cute, not in that insulting 'Oh he thinks he's a big boy' kind of way mind you... Just cute."

He groaned a bit and crossed his arms. "At least Im not like Asonja, whose a cry-baby all the time."

"... Hm..." She glanced over at Asonja then back to Zikuto. "I know I'm a vane person, but I'll ask anyway... would you 'want' to have me?"

"What do you mean by that? Like, have you as a team member or...?" He seemed to leave a dangling sentence there for a moment, as Asonja just groaned face down on the dirt.

"Or," She answered with a nod.

He seemed to be blushing a little bit, looking away. "W-well it depends on what you're thinking about before I tell YOU what I was thinking about because...you know I have weird thoughts occasionally..." He said, his tail swaying a bit.

"Interesting... well then there's a catch... You see, you have to fight for that thing you want, and you have to prove something."

"Prove something? What do I have to prove?" He asked. Asonja turned to his back, just laying there.

"That you're more important than the dirt sticking to his face... because here's what I think," Her expression suddenly became more direct and tense, a tight finger pointing directly at Zikuto. "I think you exist to make his eventual reveal as something important MORE interesting: that you are a product and tool for him! Look at him," Her hand swayed just slightly to Asonja. "He looks so pitiful and yet it's him who gets the attention of the character's best doesn't he? You're the 'friend' that stands up, Ron Weasley, and he is the 'Chosen One'," Her hand relaxed.

"I want you to show me just how wrong that assumption is, because it's not me insulting you as a person, it's the life around you, and most of all," A small growl formed between the three of them, like a triangle that slowly moved toward the man in the dirt. "HIM..." Her more tense expression faded. "Prove it, and what you want, is all yours..."

"So you're telling me...I have to prove that I'm better than Asonja...? That's easy." Zikuto stated, seeming to smirk for a second.

"Cocky... good... now," She turned to Asonja, "how do we turn your real self on? Maybe a bit of negative core energy?" A yellow liquid began growing from her finger.

Asonja looked at the liquid and seemed to refuse. Zikuto seemed to know the key but he wasnt saying anything for the time being. Zikuto did ask "What DO I want to prove that Im better..? I honestly dont know."

The feline moved the liquid closer to Asonja. "Whatever is going to happen to him is what I want to see you overcome."

Zikuto seemed nervous and whimpered a bit. "His power is really...interesting..." He said as Asonja took a small sip of the liquid, knowing he had no choice.

"Then how much do you want what you want?" She looked over to Zikuto. "You never get something for nothing, and I want something impressive."

"Well...I kinda wanted to be recognized for doing some good things. Asonja's a megalomaniac but he just doesnt want to try. He's really jealous of everyone's "Special Powers"" Zikuto said. Nothing seemed to happen to Asonja, oddly.

"Well if you want to have me, he'll need to start doing... SOMETHING," She formed a stool on the side and sat in wait.

His tail swayed for a moment as Asonja continued to drink the yellow liquid. Apparently he liked the taste of it and just slurped it all up. Zikuto was just thinking.

"What usually triggers it?"

"Im...not sure exactly but I made a theory; It triggers by, what I think, anger. Like, extreme anger." Zikuto said. The yellow liquid was nowhere to be seen and Asonja was just lying down happily like he ACTUALLY enjoyed the taste of it.

"Well if the tasty treat doesn't settle in soon, I have alternatives."

"Like...what?"

"Maybe I'll... wait..." She looked up. "Can I get that selection menu again?"

The text box appeared like always. Zikuto was looking at Asonja

"I saw a mystery one before... well," She giggled, "aside from mine... hm..." She pressed her hand against where the option used to be.

It somehow counted as a selection and the textbox vanished after selection.

"..." She turned back to the two boys.

"Uhh...what happened?" Zikuto asked.

"I selected the mystery option."

"The mystery icon...?" Zikuto questioned for a second and FINALLY, Asonja turned into someone completely different and brought a knife to Zikuto's throat, smirning a U-shape. He said, "Ah, hello again. Did ya miss me?"

"Hello there," Virus grinned at the personality. "Took you long enough."

Asonja looked at Virus, narrowing his red eyes. "Who're you...?" He growled out.

With her mouth not moving, a small ripple of a cackle emerged. Her hand turned to an extending jaw, teeth growing out while grabbing at the knife-holding hand.

His eyes widened a bit and he backed away, still gripping the knife. "Jesus what the hell was that?"

Virus looked over to Zikuto. "So do you have supernatural abilities?"

He shrugged "Nope."

"Well then, do you have weapons?"

"I did...it's gone now...I left it in 1316..."

She sighed. "Well have fun," Her finger detached into the air, forming into a countdown sign as she stepped back from the two.

"Wait, you're not helping me?!" He waved his arms in a slight panic as Asonja(?) was watching the countdown.

She threw over a yellow-bladed knife. "There ya go."

He looked at it for a second, wondering what the yellow color was for until the countdown ended. Asonja rushed to him and their knifes collided.

"First round, fight," The feline called out before sitting back down to watch.

After a few minutes of a stalemate, Asonja kicked the knife away from Zikuto, and wrapped the knife to the front of his neck, smirking his U-shape. "Heheh...what happened to your skills?"

"So that's all?" Virus asked.

"I suppose...I was always terrible with knives..." Zikuto stated, looking down a bit.

"Well that's bitter," She started walking toward the two.

Asonja seemed to glare at her like he was going to attack her too. But he didnt move.

"Well?" She narrowed her eyes irritably at Asonja. "Are you going to do it or not?"

He looked at Zikuto and then back at her. "And what would happen if I dont? Not making any promises..."

"You know that ITCHING feeling? The one in your muscles?" She rubbed her arm a bit, flexing her hand back and forth. "You feel so tense and you can't get the feeling to go away. That's because you're hungry. You need to plunge into something. You need to release the tension, or the itching won't stop. You'll tear at your skin, bite off your own meat," her arm began to shrivle,, "and then finally, when it settles... a tingling begins in the other arm..."

He was a bit confused for a moment, but took a moment to let those words sink in. He then noticed his knife-wielding hand started to itch and it was twitching as he tried to get that itching away.

"That's my answer to your question. 'And what happens if you don't?' There you go." (Honestly though, my arm is so tense right now actually because I can't exercise right now from being sick. It's driving me insane. X{D)

(I bet I can relate XD) He took his arm away from Zikuto and started to scratch it perfusely. "ARGH THIS ITCHING IS ANNOYING ME"

She looked over to Zikuto with a raised eyebrow, as if prompting him to act.

Zikuto looked a bit confused but then noticed Virus. "O-oh...right..." He said as he took Asonja's knife and kicked him down to the ground, knife at his neck. Asonja sighed. "All because of a scratch, I lost my guard."

"He's still breathing," She noted. "This is the part where you cut his throat."

Zikuto looked at him and then at the knife. 'D...do I really have to...?' Zikuto thought to himself, the knife shaking in his hand as he, too, was getting the itching feeling. He then shut his eyes as he stabbed his throat. Asonja vanished in dust, leaving nothing behind.

"Well that's a plus--you didn't wait for me to answer before doing it. Good job."

"Yeah...I suppose..." He said, now feeling rather upset oddly like he was regretful

"I can taste that."

"T-taste what?"

"Emotion."

"How can you taste emotion?"

She whipped her finger upward, the blue liquid growing out again. "Like this... Cores... hearts... souls..."

"Oh yeah..." He muttered and looked around. "S-so..now what?"

"Hm... Good question... Well the idea was that you had to kill him without help and you technically got help."

"Yeah...so does that mean I have to do that all over again?"

"No, that'd be boring... I suppose I can give a pass."

"Okay..." He sat down, thinking of what to do.

"So now that you've... 'won'... what is it that you would want with me?"

(Sorry. I was busy this week XD) "Well...Some kind of training skill that involves getting super powers or something on the lines of that."

"Ah, well that's not nearly as romantic but I guess that's fine."

"Did you WANT it to be romantic?"

"Did you?"

"M-maybe?"

She smirked. "Well anyway, what kind of powers would you want?"

"Hmm...manipulation and absorption. Like I'll absorb their energy and have their abilities temporarily. Or, is that too much to ask for?"

"No, it's doable, but are you meaning energy only? Absorbing power through energy and absorbing powers through DNA and elements are different things."

"Oh...perhaps absorbing power through energy maybe?"

"And just energy then?"

"Yeah, lets see how that goes. Also, Asonja wanted to be a Dragon...dunno why but those things are extinct so that's not gonna happen in the next 5 minutes or so..."

"Now I just feel like you're trying to trick me into turning him into a dragon to prove I can... hm, yeah I could probably do that. Won't, but I could," She walked up behind him. "Alright hold still."

He did so, a bit nervous for a second. "Alright...I'm ready."

She pushed his head forward a bit, a finger digging into the back of his neck, cutting markings into the skin.

"Argh!" He winced a little bit, but remained still.

She eventually stopped, but a burning started up as she walked back in front of him.

He started to crouch a little, feeling the burning pain. "I...I-Is this normal?!"

"Depends on your definition. It was intentional though."

"Well...I thought it would be a BIT less painless than this..." He grunted a bit, getting back up to his normal stance. He was still wincing occasionally, meaning the burning hasnt gotten away or faded yet.

"Well if there's nothing else here you have for me, I'll be heading off."

"Okay well...if you want to we could...hang out later?"

"When is later?"

"Uhh...about 10 minutes or so? When you're free?"

She chuckled. "I'll... think about... Where?"

"Uhh...my place maybe? It's not that much..."

"And your place is... where?"

"Not far from here actually. It's a 20 minute walk from here to the East."

"... Alright. Ten minutes in the future, I'll probably be there."

He nodded and smiled a little. "Thanks. I'll meet you there." He went out of the arena and ran off to the East. Asonja appeared again in the battle field, shivering a bit.

"Oh, well loose ends then," Virus shot a stretched finger into Asonja's shoulder, yanking him over.

He yelped and shivered a bit more, backing away a little bit from Virus. "P-please dont hurt me...I'm sorry..."

"I'm not mad," She shrugged before blasting a red energy spread at him.

He moved quickly, yelping.

She scoffed, retracting. "Forget it. Not in the mood for cat-and-mouse. How do I leave this place exactly?"

'I...dont know..." He answered. He knocked on the forcefield. "Zikuto got through it because he's a spirit. They go through everything..."

"Well I'll just go with teleporting then," She attempted to teleport outside.

It worked, but she was still inside. She just smacked herself against the forcefield wall. Asonja winced a little bit, thinking it hurt.

Virus ripped her arm to the side, plunging it into the ground as she spread a green energy around to take control of whatever was running the area.

Asonja backed away from the green energy, alittle confused.

She continued spreading the energy to release herself from the area.

Suddenly, the forcefield shattered. Asonja yelped again and looked around as the pieces of the forcefield falling down.

"That's fortunate," She sighed with relief. "I was about to be late for something in... seven minutes now," She walked out.

"W-wait what about me?!" He ran to her but kept at least a 2 foot difference.

"What about you?"

"I c-cant be there all by myself...I need to go home too...but my house is way too far from here..."

"Then walk," she continued out.

"It's like 100 miles from here! I'd die of hunger and thirst!" He flails his arms around a bit.

She groaned, turning around to him. "If I kill you here, you'll just vanish to wherever you came from right?"

"Well...not really...It would take 5 minutes for me to respawn back in the arena...now that it's broken I'd just die."

"Then instead of taunting me to want to kill you right now, start walking. I now have six minutes."

"Im not a good taunter anyway..." He sighed and looked to the North for a moment.

"Twenty minutes walk east..." She floated upward, going in the direction.

Asonja crossed his arms as she floated away, and looked down for a second, thinking of how to get back home as quick as possible.

Zikuto was at his small yet rather cozy comfy shack. He was sitting near the fireplace reading a book that was in rather great condition from 700 years ago.

Virus arrived soon after, walking up to the front door.

Zikuto closed his book and put it on his shelf. He didnt have a lot of books. "Ah, you're here! Well, this is my place...pretty cramped I know..."

"What exactly does your lifestyle compose of?" She asked while glancing around.

"Basically like a human life. It's not exciting, I know..." He goes into a cabinet and grabs an apple, and eats it.

"Like a human life?"

"Yup...sit around all day, eat sleep, maybe read and repeat." He eats the entire apple, core too. "Sounds boring, doesnt it? It's what I get for not training now-a-days..."

"So post-adventure life?" (That moment when you think it loads the comments then you come back and you have to re-save it.)

(The feels, bro. Use the classic editor) "Pretty much...yeah"

(Genius!) "... Hm," She stepped inside. "And you get money for this... place?"

"Nope. I built it myself and away from society so I will not have to pay any bills. Unless I have to go into town and buy groceries and water."

"... Must have been some adventure to get you to want to live like this."

"I've been through quite a bit...I've seen all of the American Wars and even participated in them. You know what they are?" He asked. She noticed a small box near the kitchen on its separate table.

She walked toward the table. "Do you think I know or that I don't know?"

"I was expecting you would not know." He didnt seem to stop her from going to the small box. He drank a can of soda.

She picked up the box to open it. "Well I won't say I was created back then, or maybe I was."

There was an assortment of bank notes dating from 1862 to the present as well as coins dating back to the 1700's all in EXCELLENT and untouched condition.

"God save the Queen," She closed the box, placing it back down.

Zikuto was sitting down near the lit fireplace, checking out a book with no title. "So, want anything to eat or anything?"

"What do you have?" She walked around.

"You can look in the fridge. I got all kinds of food in there. Or if you want me to prepare something other than whats in the fridge."

She opened the fridge. "So what made you decide to go with this house?"

She found a large assortment of Fruits, Meats, and Vegetables. Even with some !00% real fruit juice. "Im not a people person. If I were to move into town, people whould be rather afraid of me since...you know...Im not a human..and Im a spirit technically..."

"And yet you're tangible."

"Yeah...that is true..." He muttered. "I'm a spirit with standards I guess you could say..."

"You don't look very spirit-like.  I'm sure you could easily blend with society.  I certainly don't have issues."

"Well yeah but...Im a wolf-humanoid. If I'm seen they'll probably freak out...especially society today I'll probably be a meme or whatever it's called."

"What exactly does this zone comprise of in terms of population? ... Wow that sounded geeky. I mean, what kind of species is the norm here?"

"Mostly humans. I havent seen any anthropomorphic creatures there."

"Mobians; that's the common term... interesting.  Guess this zone isn't that far out yet."

"It's about 10 miles from here to the South. Long walk though..."

"So you and the other guy just hang out in a shack?"

"Basically. And what do you mean other guy?"

"The one at the arena place."

"You mean Asonja or the...OTHER other one?"

"Asonja I suppose."

"Alright good. I dont want to talk about the Other one. Anyway, He lives here too sometimes, but he lives in an apartment in the city."

"And you know each other how?"

"...It's hard to explain...but...I'm kinda his other half."

"... REALLY NOW... How?"

"We're two different souls, yet our souls are combined into one 'Super'soul."

"Delicious, so what, you split apart?"

"For this one time, yeah. I cant stand being with him...he's so...unique it disgusts me."

"What do you mean?"

"He says that he's really weak against anything but he's actually really strong. He's such a Pessimist it annoys me."

"Because he's a Pacifist?"

"Yeah. He takes EVERYTHING seriously the wrong way. When people are in trouble, he wont help even if it's his whole family. He just cowers..."

"That is until the other side takes hold.  What do you know about Mr. Suddenly-Knife?"

He was silent for a moment, seeming tense. "I cant do anything about...them."

"Yeah but what do you KNOW about them?"

"They're evil. Heartless. They kill anything for fun."

"Where did they come from?"

"I'm not sure for certain, but Asonja knows. It's highly personal to him though."

"then I'll just have to be insenstively blunt when I ask him."

"Alright then. He should be at his apartment by now. It's to the South."

"Oh, you're trying to get rid of me now then?" She smirked

He yelped quietly, his ears perking up and blushing. "N-no! I-It was a suggestion for afterwards!" He laughed anxiously.

"Of course," She chuckled briefly. "Well I just blistered you with a tons of questions, so I suppose it's only fair to answer some myself."

"WEll...I dont really have any questions so...you're kinda good at the moment with questions." He was still blushing. Poor guy couldnt stop.

"You really have nothing you want to ask..." She did not seem convinced. "Well I suppose I don't have to always seem interesting." (Allo?)

"I mean you ARE interesting...I just dont really want to risk any stupid questions..."

(Sorreh. Dunno what's going on with the editor...)

(I can relate.) "I don't mind."

"Y-you sure?"

"I rarely make decisions based on my level of confidence as opposed to my level of interest and curiosity."

"That sounds ALOT like Asonja...except more emo...and stupid..." He muttered.

She chuckled. "I sound emo now?"

"Not...emo but Asonja is...."

"Oh well, y'know, happens," She shrugged. "Anyway..."

He nodded and stayed silent. He didnt seem to have any questions in mind. "Uhh...you sure you dont want anything to eat?"

"Oh... right food.  Don't suppose me eating something could be a trade for questions that I'll totally use for a reason to brag about myself?"

"I suppose? I mean, you do what you want, I dont care."

"And what would make you care?"

He shrugged. "Im pretty laid-back. You just eat and do whatever you want no matter what it is."

She looked aside, chuckling once more. "No matter what it is?  Really...?"

"I mean...as long as it doesnt destroy the place..."

"Well now you're just being unreasonable," She grinned.

He grinned and laughed a little. "Oh? Am I?"

"Eh," She glanced about. "Well now I have to think of something... hm...Alright I have something," She walked outside.

"Alright." He nods and goes back to his book.

A few minutes passed. It seemed to have been silent until the ground began shaking.

Zikuto closed his book, a bit concerned now. "Uhhh...Virus what're you doing?"

No response came, but the rumbling continued, following by a large ripping noise.

"Uhh..." He got up and opened the door to the outside.

While before his house was on flat level land, the down-pressing wind was implying otherwise. While the area cut out was vast enough to see as though nothing was happening, if he were to walk a half-mile forward, he would see that his house was now the proud owner of a still-rising sky-island.

"GAH!" He jumped back, going back into the house but he didnt go outside. "WHY AM I SEEING CLOUDS AT EYE LEVEL?!"

Virus stuck her head through the roof, hair dangling over the floor. "Wazzat?"

"Why are we thousands of feet in the air?"
