You Are The One who Goes Wu!

[Virgo with cheer]

Ah ha ha.... hello again everyone? Super sorry about the delay with this story, but work took it's toll, and as most of you are hopefully aware, I've begun to write a My Hero Academia and Miraculous Ladybug crossover that I hope everyone's enjoying, but that's no excuse.

Thus, here I am now, making up to you all for the interlude you won, AND practicing a little Necromancy. Ain't that great?

Welp, here we go.


[Mount Fuji: 9 AM Weather: -7]

You made a friend today!

He was a little stringy and squishy and a two-er, but he was funny! Doing all kinds of funny dances, faces, even coming apart a few times! How could you not like him!

You began to laugh and clap again as you watched the spirit-mask yell at your split friend before hurriedly becoming one and speaking into the air.

You didn't know what your friend was doing, so you decided to get his attention again. Having friends was fun!

"Ah, hey Koga! Listen, I'm in a BIT of a jam and, HOLD ON YOU SPIRIT, I'M TRYING! Anyway, we're kind of in Japan right now, and ah, could use some help please? Oh, and bring snacks please! Okay, that sh-WAIT NO, DON'T TOUCH T-!" Your friend was cut off as you got your grip firmly around your friend, cutting off his words before they caught the cool air.

"Funny friend is funny! Hahaha!" You laughed again as you rubbed your friend against your cheek, uncaring of the avalanche you were causing again. Stupid flimsy mountain...

Still, no mere rocks would stop you from loving your new friend!

"STOP! STOP!" You heard from your fist, muffled. You listened to your new friend, opening your palm to use as a flat place, letting him drop to this knees and gasp for air. He must have been laughing as hard as you were!

"New Friend happy?" You asked your friend, eye shining with happiness.

"Haaa...ha... Yeah, I'm... good now. WOO! You've got a GRIP!" Your friend said as he straightened to his feet.

You preened at the praise of your friend! You didn't know what a grip was, but it must be good!

"In fact... I have an idea..." Your friend said as he started to stroke his chin, black eye meeting brown.

And through it all, you listened, and were EXCITED.

END OF INTERLUDE

Yep, that's right folks! We shenaniganed ourselves all the way to Japan and befriended Cyclops A WHOLE SEASON EARLY! You can already smell the destruction! But now that everything is said and done, we have some things to do! Most of which is going to be us continuing the rest of the weeks plans, with POSSIBLY some character interrupts!

So much fun writing these things! But, that's all for now, and don't forget to check out my other story as well! It'll be getting Chapter 6 soon! Until then everybody!

 

[Virgo with cheer]

New
You all now the drill by now. I'm back with writing, and this time, it hopefully WON'T take me two months to get this story back again.

Let's get to it.


"I'm Back, Bitches!" You yelled out at the top of your lungs as you jumped down the stairs to your Lab.

And why wouldn't you? You got a free Shen Gong Wu, a new minion, and gained another step towards being the worlds GREATEST VILLAIN! Although...

"Dahaha! Funny friend is funny! You no fly like tweet!"

"Yes young master, it IS good to be back, though I wonder who are your 'bitches'." Koga said from behind your new cycloptic... well, cyclops, causing you to blush a bit and stammer a denial.

"Ah, wait, it's just a line that I wanted to say, ya'know? Cause i'm in such a good mood and, and, if you get down to it, the Jackbots are kind of...my... Damn it, Koga, how do you do that! I'm supposed to be a Future MASTER OF EVIL! STOP MAKING ME STAMMER LIKE I'M FIVE!" You hastily tried to explain before remembering your position.

Seeing this only brought a larger grin to Koga's face, even as he picked up Cyclops for a moment to set him to the side, as easily as a new couch.

"HA! Master Jack, that just means I've done a good job of raising you. After all, authority NEEDS to be a little scary sometimes, ne?" He finished with a little laugh, which you joined in with even as he pulled a tray of snacks out of nowhere, with an extra large portion for Cyclops, who was looking at his bowl of pizza rolls like the Holy Grail.

Yeah, you weren't afraid to admit you fainted the first time you met Koga. But really, what six year old would NOT freak out if you had what looked like a body-builder shark-man wake you up with his face directly in front of your own? But that was the past, and you could honestly call Koga family at this point. Suck it Nanny Mcfee, you old hag. (1)

But really, you were home now, surrounded with family, friends, ghosts, and treasures beyond your wildest dreams, and you felt... RIGHT.

Now, if only you could get some of those Pizza roles that Cyclops was stuffing down his gullet.


END OF CHAPTER

(1) She kept insisting things like 'being a GOOD boy' and having only sugar when taking medicine! What a Crank!

A bit small, I know, but we just got back form a flight from Japan, have a Cyclops buddy, who we may name at some point by the by, and are feeling kinda tired. So, all that's left is to plan for the rest of the week. Cause remember, the Wu Proc-sensor has been reset what with our INSTANT claiming of the Ring of Nine Dragons. It's good to be back.

[Ave Anathema]

I think we should train Chi and Scorpion style for two of the days maybe ask Wuya if she can teach us a bit more about wu and/or martial arts that arent wu based We wont always have Wu available

 

[Speed53066]

We also need to upgrade our indrestral base. We need to be able to pump out builder bots like mad. The more builders, the quicker we can make things, and get shit done.

[Virgo with cheer]

Okay, so... This next update was supposed to be the fight scene for my Miraculous Ladybug story but, well, I'll be frank.

It's kicking my ass to write. Not due to a lack of planning or anything, no sir. My problem lies in the fact that I have so little time to write between work and other factors, and the sheer torment to my brain that is writing something of any substantial length that is not in Second person now. Writing more than a 100,000 words for a story sure does cement a writing style, don't it?

So, here we are, finally getting on with this. Cause remember, I merely fall asleep for a bit, never die fully.

CHAPTER! START-O!


"WORK HARDER MAGGOTS! I WANT TO SEE YOU SWEAT YOUR BODY-WEIGHT!"

"'YES SIR, KOGA SIR!""
"ARRRAAAHH!"

Came the synchronized cry and screeches from the mass of beings currently outside one of the Spicers many properties.

The reason for these cries you ask

Welll...

"NOW GIVE ME THREE HUNDRED MORE LAPS IN FORMATION! OR SO HELP ME I WILL SHOW YOU JUST WHAT TRUE EXHAUSTION LOOKS LIKE! AM I UNDERSTOOD!?!" Koga called from on top of his place atop Cyclops back, watching over the groups progress, even while the mass of muscle beneath him moved up and down at a pace most roller coasters would have been hard pressed to match.

And you?

Well, you were currently running as fast as your burning legs and lungs would allow, covered in tiny monkeys that each had to way a good three pounds, as if the hounds of Hell itself were at your heels in the name of 'training'

And not even the monkeys were exempt from this, given the fact that every few feet, monkey's jumped off of your body, only to be instantly replaced by new ones, treating your moving body as a demented jungle gym.

"Why! DID! I CHOOSE THIS!" You gasped for breath as your legs mercifully collapsed under their leaded weight, scattering the primates as you fell like a mighty oak.

The ground had never tasted sweeter, even as you were poked and prodded by tiny hands in your sides.

"BECAUSE YOUNG MASTER! TO BE THE GREATEST VILLAIN ONE CAN, THEY MUST CONSTANTLY PUSH THEIR LIMITS! ONLY THEN WILL THEY SUCCEED!" Koga cried to the heavens, one foot up on Cyclops, even as he now did crunches with every foot press.

Spoiler: Reach for the Peak!

"Okay... That, kind of makes sense. But WHAT WHY DO YOU HAVE A PICKAXE!" You half gasped, half burped out as you finally got another look at your sadistic maid/trainer/torturer.

"Encouragement." Was all he said as he swung the pick down with out a care, nearly going through your foot if you hadn't moved at the last second.

As you finally got to a sitting position after the causal attempt at mutilation, you began to work up the energy to yell at Koga, only to have all air, and a few other things, suddenly leave you as you looked up at him in his new position.

"OH SWEET BADNESS MAN, IF YOU'RE GONNA STAND LIKE THAT, AT LEAST PUT SOMETHING ON UNDER THAT SKIRT!" You yelled behind you, booking it away faster than you ever had before, face pale for completely different reasons that usual.

"HAHA! NEVER!"

Why was this your life?

END OF DAY!

GAINED!:

RANK UP! TIMES TWO!

KOGARASHI LINK IS NOW RANK 3! GAINED STRATEGIC RETREAT!

MINI-HORDE OF MONKEY'S IS NOW RANK 2! GAINED JUNGLE GYM TACTIC!

Gained +1 to Speed!

Strategic Retreat: There's no such things as a hasty retreat, merely a fast breakaway to somewhere not here. When disengaging from fights, become 35% more likely to escape!

Jungle Gym Tactic: You ever get that feeling like something tiny is touching your skin? Well make that feeling a reality, when hundreds of monkey's swarm your opponent as either a distraction, or attack! Can only effect targets that feel discomfort, or can be physically reached.

END OF GAINS!

Yeeaahhhh. Bonding with Koga means training till we can't feel our everything, or become so disgusted that we instantly learn knew techniques. With everyone else thrown into the mix, it wound up pretty intense. Cause if you haven't worked out the math in your head, Koga had Jack running hundreds of laps in the sun covered in hundreds of one or more pound monkeys. Yeah.

And this was LEVEL 2.

Can't WAIT to see what comes next. Till next time.

 

[Virgo with cheer]

hree times. Three. Times.

THAT'S HOW MANY TIMES THIS CHAPTER GOT ERASED WHILE I WAS WRITING IT.

I don't know WHY it kept happening, but hey, maybe this times the try? In any case, I want to be done with this so I can actually move on and write other things.

Have fun!

[X] Try to Train Something (Costs 2 Action)x2
-[X]Scorpion Style
--[X]With Koga
-[X]Chi
--[X]With Wuya

Here we go.

Martial Arts.

The method used to turn the human body into a hard-core machine of violence or tranquility. Sometimes both at the same time. This was done by either training specific muscle groups for specific effects, by emphasizing certain instincts into hard core weapons, and by mimicking animals and their interactions in nature.

This was all academic knowledge you knew to be true. Physically however? TOTALLY different story.

"Oh GOD, why did I think this was a good idea!?!" You cried out as you did what felt like your thousandth crunch in eternity, while simulations trying to hit Koga who was standing behind you with the Third-Arm Sash.

"Because you seem to have decided to cheat when life threw a curveball! As you should! NOW TRY HARDER TO HIT ME!" Koga roared as he dodged your Sash again and again, performing tricks you were only peripherally aware of, too focused on keeping the vomit in your body from the pain in your torso.

"Also the fact that you don't seem to realize what you do. The Scorpion is indeed a worthy beast to base a fighting style on, but what did you expect to do when learning this? You must be able to withstand at least this much, you'll find that idea of your staying such." Wuya chimed in, floating just beside your head for a moment, prompting a moment of unnatural cold to flash through your overheating system. It felt both refreshing and horrifying.

"Oh- *cough*- Okay, I get that! But COME, ACK, ON! Can't we start with something slower? Or Easier?" You begged, coughing with every other breath now from excursion, the swipes of the Sash going wider and wider with every spasm.

"When walking a path untred, every step must be filled with progress, or else it will lead nowhere!" Koga suddenly shouted in your other, formerly unoccupied ear.

"Ahh!"

Aaand there you went, collapsing from your half seated position firmly onto your side, sending the previously wide sweeping sash directly to where Koga now was.

As you lay there panting for breath and trying to deal with the pain in your hips, you looked over to Koga and Wuya, both of whom were now standing together, their grins with the sharpest of teeth.

Because on Koga's hand was a small cut.

You felt a grin of your own grow on your face. You had done it.

Then you passed out.

Time Skip: 5 Hours later

"Uuuurrgg. Anyone get the number of that truck? I'll sue..." You murmured out tiredly as you started to blink awake. You didn't really remember what happened, but you were in a fair amount of pain at the moment.

"The ID on the truck was SUC S3S, young sir. I'm actually quite surprised your up already." The calming gravel that was Koga's voice called from your right side, causing you to turn that direction slightly, then jolt a little due to the sheer agony that was you stomach region right now.

There was Koga, standing in his usual apron and grin, with the addition of a plate holding your Third-Arm Sash, a glass of water, and what you saw to be a bottle of pain relievers.

"Thank you God..." You whispered, trying not to move your flaming diaphragm with every breath.

"You're welcome." Koga replied as he set down the water, and handed you three of the pills.

You quickly downed them, and chased them with the water. You immediately felt the relief was over you, and sank back into your now slightly sweaty chair. Something for the bot's to clean later...

"Woo, that's the strong stuff. I actually wandered a bit there..." You trailed out as you slipped the Wu around your waist, feeling comforted by its now familiar presence. It felt...good.

"Don't worry too much about it Young Master. You did VERY well today. Much better than I was expecting. For now however, there are a few things we should go over." Koga said, smiling before dropping beside your seated form.

"Oookay, what's up?" You asked, sinking into your chair.

"First off, I apologize for the pain you are feeling. Over the years I have ensured you maintain a certain level of fitness and athleticism, both for health reasons and to ensure you do not become...slovenly. However, That was merely the standard muscles, not the ones used primarily for the style you are trying to make, such as the abdomen, pelvis and thighs. This could have caused serious damage with the efforts I have pushed you to today, and I apologize for such." Koga said, for once not wearing his signature toothy grin.

You just kinda shifted uncomfortably, suddenly aware of the now fading pain in your torso. You didn't THINK it was that bad, but...

"Thus, I have decided. You will NOT be allowed strenuous activity for the next three days. MINIMUM." Koga stated, locking eyes with you as he crossed his arms over his chest.

You lifted a brow at him for a moment. That didn't sound too bad...

Then he continued.

"WHICH MEANS. NO tinkering with Heavy Machinery. NO trying to create new Martial art stances and or styles. NO pushing your soul or spirit in a corporeal medium. And NO MYSTICAL ARTIFACT HUNTING." Koga gritted the last one especially, fangs glinting off his chains somehow.

That you reacted too.

"WHAT! But, but, THEN I'LL MISS THE NEXT WU! What if it's really good! I might.!" Whatever you were about to say was cut off by Koga gently placing his hand to your mouth, muscle stopping you flat.

"No. Your health takes precedence over some Magical Trinkets that have wandered hands for centuries. One will not result in the end of the world, any more so than it would have at any other time. As my charge, this is the least I can ask of you. Is that understood?" Koga gently but seriously spoke, all hint of smile or teeth gone. After a moment, his hand moved away, and you gently nodded.

"Good. Good... Thank you, Young Master." Koga said with genuine relief.

The both of you simply sat there for a moment, breathing and feeling.

Then Koga bolted up from his seat, arms thrust into the air with such speed you were surprised the air didn't crack.

"Now that the serious stuff is out of the way, let's get into the good!" Koga roared, suddenly giving you a large thumbs up and holding a sign that said "GOOD JOB!" on it in his left hand.

"W-hat the fuck..." You droned at the sudden change of tone, and was summarily ignored.

"First off, you did a fantastic job with your exercise, going above and beyond what I expected of you! Secondly, we found out that while the Third-Arm Sash can move on its own at a fair pace, it has enough weight to it that sharp movements from its user can be used to leverage it! That means that, with practice, you could reel it back or send it flying with great force and speed! Lastly, we now have an idea of what kind of movements are needed to make your Scorpion Style effective!"

"Wait, we did what now?" Hey, you were high on pain killers, how the hell were you supposed to understand what he just said?

"In layman's terms, you must Master you Ass! And this is how you will do it! HAHAHAHA!" With that, Koga gently placed a DVD he pulled from his apron onto your night desk, and then jumped up through the ceiling, laughter still ringing as you started at the Maid Guy-shaped hole now in your room's ceiling, already being patched over by some Bots.

After a nother minute of staring and trying to decide if that really happened or if the drugs were that strong, you finally dragged your eyes over to the DVD he had left, and decided, yeah, these must be some Capital D drugs.



"No, seriously. WHAT. The FUCK."

END OF CHAPTER

Gains:

Plus (+) 1 Strength, bringing us to 9!

Gained +5 Chi for pushing past your limits and constant use of a Shen Gong Wu!

First Scorpion School Technique Created! Sting: A move specific to the Third-Arm Sash, the user swings their hips with such strength that the weight of the Sash flys out at the other side, causing a surprise attack if fast enough.

Gained Quest! Master Your Ass: Create 5 techniques or stances for Scorpion Style! 1 of 5 Completed!

Temporary Debuff: Muscle Tearing; Torso; Moderate: By working yourself to the bone, you have incurred damage to the body that requires time to heal. Cannot undergo 'strenuous' activities, and if forced to do so, can lead to loss of stats or life, depending on location and severity.

End of Gains!

And there we have it folks. I hope it was worth the wait, seeing as how many times I've done it. Also, this serves as a little lesson.

STOP COMBINING THINGS AND CHARACTERS. It can TECHNICALLY work, and can TECHNICALLY succeed, but doing so puts our body at MAJOR risk or eithe rharm or burning out. Spread yourself too thin and you get holes poked through you.

That said, next chapter will be up MUCH sooner this next time hopefully, and I'll be dabbling with my MLP story for a bit. Have a great night everyone.

Nice, but one thing that may help, use google docs. It will save you a lot of grief when you are writing. That includes school assignments and the like.

New
So, with this chapter.

I was originally going to put it all in one lump sum for the whole recovery period, but I decided to stick with the standard format in the end, because I just got inspired with some things while writing it. Plus, if I somehow lose it, it'd just be one chapter, instead of four! So, you know.

Here's the new plan for Sunday.

SUNDAY: CHOOSE 4 Worth of Action Points Below

[X] Bond with Wuya(Costs 1 Action)

Hope you all Enjoy now!

SUNDAY:

As you were quickly finding out, being injured and not allowed to do anything was kind of a pain in the ass, if only for reasons you didn't expect.

Oh sure, it was kind of annoying not being able to do your usual things, but the problem more so was NOT BEING ALLOWED, capitalization needed, to not do your thing.

This was by no means the first time you had been injured in your life, especially in such a way that you had to sit around for a few days, but... things were different now.

Before, you were just a rich kid building things cause he could and dreaming of domination every other daydream. It was a fleeting thought that you were preparing for 'in the future'.

Now though, with Wuya teaching you about what amounts to the hidden side of the world, magical artifacts that continued to impress you from what you'd seen and heard, and even a band of 'rivals' who wouldn't tear you limb from limb, it felt like it was time to make your 'future' the 'present'. And every minute you didn't spend improving, it felt.... wrong.

If you wasted time now... you would only fall behind, you would only-

"Waaaagh!" You screamed as you shot forward in your chair, resting on the edge of it precariously as your body jolted away from the unnatural source of the chill, which meant...

"Hello Hello Boya, I trust your recovery is going well?" Wuya chirped, now floating into your central view, and leaving her words to float from behind you somehow.

Yep, Wuya was about. There went that moment of complaining/introspection.

"Well? Are you going to answer me, or just stare like a particularly evolved fish?" Wuya stated with a flat grin on her mask, eyes at half brightness that you were now beginning to notice was her equivalent to half-lidding her eyes.

"Oi, isn't that kind of rude to say to an injured person? And where even were you, I haven't seen you since I got told the business about my injury yesterday." You shot back, jabbing a finger at the spectral hanya, which she merely floated around before reorienting.

"Oh please. I say what I mean, and mean what I say. If you look stupid, I say so, as your teacher and a passerby." Wuya snickered out as she floated closer, drifting almost lazily around you as you turned your head to keep her in view.

Eventually, she settled just three feet from where you had gotten your injury, and made a pointing gesture.

"As for where I was, not that it was any of your business what I do without you, I was merely talking with 'Koga' as you refer to him." Wuya stated after she had seemingly found whatever she was looking for, making a nodding/bobbing motion with her body, and then rising back up to eye level with you.

You perked up for a moment, now more solidly seated. Did that mean...

"You talked him into letting me do my normal things! Oh thank you Wu-"

"Actually, I agree with him completely. You are not to do anything strenuous for at least the time frame imposed." Wuya cut in casually, dashing both your hopes and your body as you faceplanted from your previously joy-filled leap into a pile of despair and mild pain.

"Wwwhhhhyyyyy?" You whined from your new position on the floor, head to the side with eyes pointed up shining with betrayal.

Wuya, it seemed, gave no fucks to your down formed.

"Because every point he has insisted upon and is holding you too is an accurate one. You have been doing too much, too quickly. This just happened to be the first time. Tell me, have you ever heard the proverb about the Candle burning at both ends? I know it is somewhat new, but-"

"Yeah, yeah, burns twice as hot but twice as fast, I know this come on, what's your point here." You deadpanned as you finally got off the floor. It was fun as a gag for a good minute but your floor was still a floor, and you didn't like putting your face near where feet tread upon regularly.

It seems that being interrupted was something Wuya did NOT enjoy, but come on, the point was obvious and you were wondering why she even brought it up now.

"My POINT, was that while it is good to push yourself, DO NOT do it with EVERYTHING YOU ATTEMPT. We grow in adversity, such is human nature, but too much too quick with break you." She continued with a small snarl to her words, making you flinch. Okay, no interjections during lecture period.

"Since you have apparently ALREADY heard my Candle metaphor, let me use a different one, that will hopefully MAKE ITS LESSON KNOWN IN YOUR SKULL. You are a lump of iron. You are blunt, heavy, and can knock people out if you are swung are or lucky enough. Are you following?" Wuya said, eyes tracking you form any movement of your mouth at all.

You just gave a little gulp, and nodded. Serious Wuya was kind of intense...

"Good. Now, you are a lump of iron no different from any other. A part of the mountain. But one day, a smith sees potential in you, and picks you up. They put you in fire, making you something MORE than you were before. But they do not leave you in the fire, that would only reduce you to nothing, simply slag for be rid of. Instead, They take the iron out of the fire, and make it take a new shape, before letting it cool. No longer are you a simple piece of scrap. You are a weapon, that which has purpose and can be more than scrap. Do you understand, Boya?" Wuya's stare was heavy as her metaphor, which you were really wondering if it was, hung in the air.

You gulped, before replying...

[] You mean... you see me as something with potential, and you want me to actually amount to something, instead of pushing myself and turning to nothing?

[] You mean... you want me to cool myself, step back from the pressures of... ALL THIS (Indicates room) And just... take my time?

[] You mean... you see me as a tool that lacks purpose? And that I need to find one to be useful?

[] Write-In

CHOOSE ONE

TIME SKIP:

You took a deep breath, before shakily exhaling it as you exited your room and headed upstairs for the main living room. Koga said that being cooped up in your lab would just make you antsy to work on something, so you were ordered to go literally anywhere else. Thankfully, the rest of the house was not lacking of anything, so you decided to try and watch whatever anime Koga gave you.

As you were just crossing the threshold however, you caught the sight of your big sis, hanging herself over one of the couches like a cat, with your one Dandylion matching her pose for pose on its opposite, if only for the sunlight beaming near it.

You had actually forgotten about the odd mix of plant and animal (Plantimal? Aniat? Whatever.) until now what with everything happening, but it looked...bigger since the last time you saw it? It's leaves had definitively grown a bit, and it's tail seemed to have opened up partially.

But you had bigger concerns at the moment.

"What the hell are you watching Sis?" You deadpanned from your spot in the doorway, refusing to come a step closer.

Kristen quickly fell over the other side of her couch, giving a little hiss of surprise even as she reoriented herself, glaring lightly over the back rim.

"Jack! What the hell! Don't sneak up on me when I'm watching shows, you know I get involved!" She literally hissed at you, using one hand to make clawing motions at you as the other fished for the remote to pause.

You just looked straight on at her, then back to the screen showing some magical girl you barely recognized, and then back to her. Somehow, your gaze felt heavier than ever.

It seemed to do the trick, attracting even the Dandy's attention, curious about the lack of noise.

Eventually, after a moment, Kristen too began to fidget under the two sets of questioning eyes, before anything was said.

"Well? What's wrong with watching Tokyo Mew-Mew? It's a totally legit part of magical girl history, and animation in general!" She defended, pointing a finger at you accusingly.

You stared some more. Then replied.

"For once, I don't know what that is. And I don't really WANT to know what that is. Just...please go back to watching your show, and I'll go watch mine somewhere else. Okay?" You asked, half ready to walk back the way you came.

Your sudden about face seems to have surprised Kristen quite a bit, if the way her eyebrows suddenly shot up was any indication.

Then, after another moment of silence, she carefully looked you over, then back to her show, then back to your eyes.

After a moment, you heard her sigh. Then, she turned herself fully to you.

"Listen, Jack, why don't you come sit in here with me and Lione so we can finish this episode, then we watch watch whatever you had. Sound fair?" Kristen offered with a sharp grin on her face.

Now it your turn to be surprised. Kristen NEVER shared the TV with you. It was part of the reason why nearly every private room had one, outside of the few maids and butlers who lived on sight and enjoyed their reality TV gambling pools.

"Uh, sure. Thanks Kristen." You were a little hesitant, but this was an open hand, and had no reason to refuse.

So there you were, watching a show about animal girls named after fruits fight Chimera creatures and bad guys named after pastries. It... was a ride, but surprisingly fun.

Still, now that you were finished it...

"So, Jackie-boy, what do ya got for picture day? Some big macho man Mech show for you to geek out over? Maybe a Isekai who wins every fight with simple forethought? Come Onn~ Tell me your poison!" Kristen practically sang, ripping through your pockets with outrageous speed.

Before you could even say anything however, she had already found the DVD Koga gave you, and held it aloft with a perky 'Ka-ching!"

"Ah-Ha! Lets see what's...on the..dock-et... *snort* Be- BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHat the Fuck! WHAT! THE HAHAHAHAHA, ACTUAL FUCK! KEIJO, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A PHYSICAL COPY OF KEIJO! HAHAHAH, Oh, OH God, My ribs, I can't stop. Tell me why, give me reaso-NHHHHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kristen could barely break out before bellowing out in laughter, startling Dandylion who was apparently named Lione in your absence so bad that he shot pollen all over floor. You hoped to Kami that wasn't his equivalent to urine.

Still, you could already feel the blush on your face, and sought to speak as quickly as you could to stop this in its tracks!

"Ah, come on! Koga gave it to me after helping me work on this fighting move! I don't even know what it's about! Everyone I asked online just sent me laughter emoji's and said to me to watch it! And every review I looked up with any real detail was in Spanish, which you KNOW I can't read that well!" You tried to defend yourself, but if anything, it sent Kristen even further down the well, now sprawled off her couch and getting dangerously close to Lione's Dust zone.

"He gave it to you after helping you make a FIGHTING move? As in, IT MIGHT HELP YOU? Oh my god, we are WATCHING this NOW!" Kristen suddenly broke out of her laughter and launchered herself towards the DVD player you still had attached to this TV.

Before you even really realized what was happening now, you were just as suddenly pulled onto the couch that Kristen was now again occupying, an insanely strong grip on your shoulder keeping you firmly planted in the cushioned, matched only by the slasher-sized grin your sister now sported.

You gulped as much as you could. What had you gotten into?

Her grin only got wider.

"We are going to sit here. And We. ARE. Going to WATCH. EVERY. SECOND." She didn't say, so much as state, turning both her and your head manually towards the screen, which had the play button now selected by....a three?

Oh, your poor innocent mind.

By the end of it, Kristen was a pile of giggles, laughter, and red-faced from so many things, Lione had Dusted himself three more times and was staring intently at the screen as it went back to the default screen, and you were an empty husk, having learned SO MANY THINGS.

WHY, Japan, WHY.

Kristen RANK UP! Now Rank 5! New Ability Gained!

Cat's Grace: With New Insights into movement, and other such body motions, we are now much sneakier! We also have a better understanding of how to use force for and against the chest and waist area. Though the things lost for that knowledge...*Shudder*

TIMESKIP

You collapsed bonelessly at your computer chair, officially done with today. What the hell was with today? You were supposed to be recovering, but instead you got intense talks about attitudes for the future and embarrassment that could cow the biggest of monsters. Your heart needed time to heal too, damn it.

Whatever, now you had nothing but the nice chair beneath you, and the refreshing background that was the google screen to focus one. But, there WAS one thing you had been meaning to do for a while now, ever since Thailand in fact...

A quick Search, and you were there.

[X] You mean... you want me to cool myself, step back from the pressures of... ALL THIS (Indicates room) And just... take my time?

[] Dante.

Spoiler: Dante

If you don't know about Devil May Cry I pity you. There was an animated series of the game so he should qualify. I think that he would make for a very good minion/trainer.

Here is a link to the wikia

[X] "Speed of Sound" Sonic

Spoiler: From one punch man

Speed-o'-Sound Sonic

Very fast and a damn good assassin... To bad he has bad enough luck to fight ULTIMATE POWER in baldy form.

It seems we cannot afford dante. So have an alternative.

New
So here I am again, finally getting off my ass and finishing this section of story I only meant to take up a week or two. But you all know how it is, a site refuses to save your work and then POOF, thousands of words and your desire to write gone with it. But I'm back now! And with new ideas for my Miraculous Crossover too, which has been QUITE a bit more popular than I anticipated. Who know?

[X] Tubbimura? The Fuck?
[X] Mifune. Looking to work with someone who'll give protection to a certain individual.
[X] Konatsu. Male Kunoichi. Currently unemployed. Looking for long term master. Picture Included. More info.


Now, here we go.


After waiting what felt like months of waiting, but was really only five minutes, you were finally able to see the main draw of the sites.

The posted ads and profiles. Frankly, it was like a dating website, but for petty and major crime. Which....made it just a more aware dating site.

Still, the people were there to be hired by rich people in need of morally ambiguous gentlemen/ladies. Let's get to browsing.

You took a sip of your Mountain Crush: Crimson Comet flavored (1) slushie as you did so, helpfully brought to you by your bot during the stupid loading wait.

The pages scrolled by, a blur of text and images to all but your trained eyes, calculating the names and description of each profile.

"No, no no, literally build better, no, no, Already on Dad's Payroll, Uncle Rick, no. What the hell are Red Orbs and why are they capitalized? No, maybe, n-Wait a minute, is that who I think it is?" You murmured to yourself around your straw before suddenly jerking to a stop through your rapid scrolling, reeling back enough to send your semi-melting slush-cup out of your hand, though was thankfully caught by your Third-Arm suddenly lashing out to catch it.

You weren't even paying attention.



"MY NAME IS TUBBIMURA! YOU WANT SOMEONE DEAD OR MISSING? A PRICELESS RELIC YOURS! THEN GET OFF YOUR ASS SO I CAN GET ON MINE! FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF $2,000 A MONTH PLUS LIVING EXPENSES, I WILL BE YOURS. "

"I KILL FOR YOU LONG TIME!"

"Oh, what the flying FUCK Tubbi, you're seriously that cheap? And apparently racist? YOU AREN'T! EVEN! ASIAN!" You half yowled half guffawed at the sheer stupidity of what you just read. Did he seriously expect anyone to reply to that? You'd known the guy mot of your life, and even you think its a prank! Ha!.....


"Ah, okay, I needed that. Back we go." You quietly snicked to yourself, settling into your chair with one hand, stirring your slushie with another, and using the Third-Arm to scroll the mouse. It seemed to like that.

And again it went for a few hours. Page after page of people, both completely outlandish and ordinary scrolling by, a few catching your interest but most out of your price range or availability for the moment.

Until...

"Ooh, who's this now?



Mifune

"I don't care how much you pay me. All I ask for is a safe place where I and those under my protections can no peace."

"However. If you dare to abuse my trust or endanger those I hold dear, prepare to lose your Soul."

"Wow...He's...Intense." You drawl out as you carefully read the mere two lines of dialogue the man had written, and the associated images that showed you, YES, he was worth it and/or could follow through with his threat.

"Though why does he have a kid on his back?" You question for a moment, before shrugging it off and continuing your browsing.

This time, it didn't take you near as long for someone to get your attention, if for.... different reasons.

Seeing the vision of beauty on the screen immediately got you to stop, but it was the words underneath the picture that really got you to react.



KONATSU

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Occupation: Kunoichi

"Greetings! I am Konatsu, seeking a new master! They must be willing to pay for food and lodging, as well as be able to endure potential surprise attacks from unexpected places and mobs! I will serve you to the best of my ability! Oh, you must also pay for my travel fees!"

*Please beware any wild-life that seems to follow me, they are very Dang- Friendly!*

"THAT'S A GUY!?!" You yelled out, this time out and out throwing your drink, though thankfully empty, into the air. Behind you, the Third-Arm sash reacted in a similar manner, bolting straight up your back and just over your head, like an exclamation mark in cerulean fabric.

Okay, maybe it was time to take a break from the internet...
