Re: ~Crossover Chronicles (Thread 5)~

Flint's eyes grew wide as he remembered back then. That was a difficult fight. He thought to himself. The creatures easily dodged Flint and his father's malee attacks. He blinked as he remembered his happy determined emotions and thoughts back then. "so immature." He thought conclusively.

"I doubt a human could make something like that explode with their bare fists." He murmured. "Your probably right, Robin." Flint growled. Glancing at Robin before leaning Crossing his arms, and folding his wings after the fight.

When Robin briefly looked over at him, Pit gave a quick little nod of his head. "Yep; I've fought those guys before," he began in response. "And you're right; that's just sorta... what all the monsters in my world do," he confirmed, thinking back to the many different kinds of beasts he had encountered throughout his past adventures.

by **Stealthy** Sun Jun 26, 2016 11:35 pm

Torsolus looked a little off-put. "...Why did we strike first...?" He muttered sheepishly, rubbing his hands together. "...Maybe you were all familiar with it, not just Mr. Pit. Yeah. Hehe. You kind folks wouldn't whack away on any old thing that looks a little out-of-place! Otherwise I'd be a puff of smoke, myself! Heheheh...I hope the thing wasn't just defending itself...or that I'm not sounding rude right now, woopsie-daisy....

by **Swallowfeather** Sun Jun 26, 2016 11:51 pm

"Oh... Okaaaayyyy...?" Athena wasn't sure what to think at this point after hearing what Pit just said. Will this ever stop getting weirder? To tell the truth, though, she, too, felt a little odd after that battle. Fighting like this wasn't actually something she was used to doing, and something about that confrontation just left her feeling vaguely unsettled. As she wasn't nearly as loud as usual at the moment, her discomfort was somewhat apparent.

"Trust me," Cookie began to reassure Torsolus, "that thing was bad news. Every time a monster suddenly whooshes in front of you like that, it wants to HURT you." She gave him a smile, trying to bring his spirits up. "It's all fine!"

by **Tornadostorm** Sun Jun 26, 2016 11:56 pm

Flint glanced at Athena. "I've dealt with many a monster in my time. When any creature who doesn't talk to you right away suddenly appears infront of you, it NEVER has good intentions." He snorted in disgust.

"NEVER trust a creature on first sight. I know your a goodie goodie and all, but we were told villains and enemies have been flooding this universe lately. Any creature we encounter is probably not on our side." He opened his wings slightly, and lifted them for emphasis.

by **Stealthy** Mon Jun 27, 2016 12:05 am

"Okay. That makes sense." He smiled at Cookie and looked shyly but affirmingly at Flint. "I'm just gonna wait for the monsters to attack me first before I give them good old what for! I got a super cape here. The thing's tough as a brick-a-brack tree! One harmless ol' tink on this thing, and watch me knock 'em out!....You guys would kill 'em though. I'm not...comfortable doing the killing part...yeah...

..SHOOT! I forgot!!" He ran toward the boy behind the fight. "That was some great fighting, sir! Are you alright? What's your name?"

by **Swallowfeather** Mon Jun 27, 2016 1:16 am

"Right..." Athena gave a nod in response to Flint. After hearing what he and Cookie had to say, she knew they all did what they had to, and things didn't feel quite so bad. Besides, she figured that things only felt the way they did because she allowed all of the frantic emotions around her to get to her. However, after all of the Kattaca's words had a moment to sink in, something caught her attention. "... Hey... Wait a sec! Goodie-goodie?" she replied, sounding somewhat annoyed. "What's that supposed to mean, exactly? Huh?!" However, she soon realized that she probably shouldn't be letting her temper get the best of her now. Not when talking to someone who's already seemingly dealing with enough as it is. "Er... Sorry; never mind," she quickly apologized with a bit of a sigh. Anyway, hope I can keep it together more next time we've gotta fight! I can't let these guys down...!
It seemed that she was back to feeling like her usual self.

"Oh, right!" Cookie joined Torsolus in approaching the boy. "Thanks for joining in back there!" she told him, smiling brightly. "You didn't get hurt, didja?"

"Oh yeah!" Athena, too, joined the others in greeting the stranger. "That was a close one, wasn't it?" she remarked with a grin on her face. "But you got through it. How are you feeling?" This last question was asked in a warm, patient tone, and was not necessarily concerning the stranger's physical well-being. Earlier, after all, she had detected some sort of troubled emotion hidden within his voice, and it sounded to her like more than just something that arose in the heat of battle. She thought its roots must run deeper.

by **Tornadostorm** Mon Jun 27, 2016 1:25 am

Flint smirked a little as Athena started going at him about being a 'Goodie-goodie"

When everyone else walked off to great the boy they had just saved, Flint just strode over to a nearby tree and leaned against it. he closed his visable eye, and obviously got quickly lost in thought. And by his expression, not the most pleasent of thoughts either. He took a deep breath to calm himself, but didn't open his eyes, and didn't return to reality.

by **Jewelsky** Mon Jun 27, 2016 6:54 am

Though the party members looked to be eager to tell him that he had fought well, Piko wasn't too sure of that himself. He had attempted to stab a frog with a USB cord for ruining part of his ahoge—yeah, that was impressive. Still, not wanting to be rude, he thanked them for being kind to him. "Thanks, everyone. I'm feeling just fine," he lied for the sake of social convenience. "But I am a little mad about this, still," he added, pointing to his half-gone ahoge. He then extended his hand to Torsolus, a strange-looking but seemingly kind humanoid, in greeting. "I'm Piko. I'm 15, and I… uh, I sing things… or I used to, at least. They kinda deleted me…" He trailed off, staring at the ground, but looked back up again in a few moments. "Well, where am I? And who are you guys?" he queried, attempting to conceal his true feelings of confusion.

by **Stealthy** Mon Jun 27, 2016 10:34 am

Torsolus jumped a little in happiness to see a hand extended to him first. He quickly shook it. Not for too long, of course. "I'm Torsolus. Ack, what a polite little gentleman! You're in a hubworld where multiple universe borders are apparently kind of blurring? Phasing? Melting? And things from multiple universes are spilling into this place. I'm glad to see that you spilled on in here, too, haha!"

He looked at the funny stump that remained of Piko's "foolish hair".

"...Oh, that thing? Oh...my. Does it hurt? Our little Mintpaw here can fix it right up for you.

I cannot IMAGINE losing p-part of an, uh, appendage, haha...!" His voice went abnormally high and squeaked when he spoke the last sentence.

by **Jewelsky** Mon Jun 27, 2016 11:42 am

"It's nice to meet you, Torsolus," Piko replied. "That's… interesting. I can say pretty confidently that I've never been here before." He began trying to wrap his head around this peculiar idea. So, he'd wound up in this strange universe-between-universes after being cast away and terminated? Maybe this was the afterlife. Or perhaps he was in the middle of a nightmare, and none of this was happening at all. He could, in reality, wake up to have a great time at home, with all of his friends: Miku, Len, Gumi, Fukase—all of whom had Vocaloid4 versions while he sat behind in the dust, unwanted—
He knew it wasn't a dream. He recalled the feeling of previous dreams too well to let his mind deceive him so. Whether he liked it or not, this was cold, harsh reality. It seemed incomprehensible at the moment, but he wanted to give in to the more believable lie that this mystery would be unraveled with patience.
Leaving his thoughts behind once again, Piko saw that Torsolus was expressing concern for his ahoge's well-being. It was something he could forgive, as Torsolus didn't seem to have any hair at all, so the creature shouldn't have been expected to know anything about hair. "Actually, it doesn't hurt at all. It's just hair." He chuckled a bit. "Hair doesn't hurt when it gets cut—or, I guess, destroyed. In fact, it just grows right back. I'm only annoyed by it, because it was one of the things that sort of made me who I was. But I suppose I still have my eyes. And my cord."

by **Stealthy** Mon Jun 27, 2016 12:37 pm

"AAAAHHHHH. Wait. So, you don't feel it, it grows back...like...teeth?" He flailed around to change the subject. "ANYWAY! Good to see the rest of you is intact." Torsolus examined his USB cable. A wave of mixed emotions flooded his face.

"A data transport...Woooowwwww.....I've never seen one used as a weapon before. What kind of data goes through here...? Can you write NEW data?"

by **Jewelsky** Mon Jun 27, 2016 12:47 pm

Piko was about to respond to Torsolus' comment on hair, but the topic was changed too quickly for him to carry out his reply. "Well, data for songs I should sing usually goes through it. I don't think it would, though, anymore." His voice cracked a little bit at the end due to his pathetic remorse over his current situation, but he painted over it with a cough.
Dreading the thought of having a conversation concerning his predicament, he abruptly turned to the others and asked, "What are your names?"

by **Mistystar** Mon Jun 27, 2016 2:28 pm

Pit, who by now was standing with the others as they greeted Piko, quickly turned to meet the newcomer's gaze when he asked for their names. "I'm Pit," he greeted with a friendly grin, offering a handshake.

Lucina was now there as well, giving a polite dip of her head when she heard Piko's question. "And I'm Lucina," she added just after Pit's introduction.

by **Tornadostorm** Mon Jun 27, 2016 5:40 pm

"OK good.." Mintpaw sighed when he told her that he was OK. "It's my job to make sure everyone's ok, and uninjured, after all." With a swish of her tail she flashed Torsolus and Athena a glance, giving each a sniff, to make sure neither were injured by their faceplants. "I'm Mintpaw." She said to him finally. "And that guy over there-" she flicked her tail towards Flint "-Is Flint... He's a little... Mean... So don't be offended if he snaps at you." She noted that he wasn't part of the group greeting their new ally, but kept the thought too herself.

Flint, hearing his name just glanced at the group with an irritated tired expression, before closing his eyes again, and returning to his thoughts. Inwardly, he was trying to explain what he had done to himself. But he found no solid justifacation that stole away his guilt.

by **Jewelsky** Mon Jun 27, 2016 6:43 pm

Piko flashed a genuine-looking smile. "Good to meet you all. Even if the situation I'm in is a little… weird, to say the least, I'm glad that there are others here with me." And, really, he was. Had he been alone in such an unfamiliar situation, he certainly would've been much worse off.
He was quick to notice that Mintpaw's eyes were clouded, but chose not to ask about it, continuing instead with, "That's fine. Some people are just like that, I suppose." It was then that he noticed that Lucina's leg was covered in some sort of paste with cobwebs. Huh… I guess that's what happens when a blind cat heals you.
Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by how surreal his surroundings and thoughts seemed. This can't be real. This CAN'T be real. Simultaneously wishing for the whole ordeal to be fake and real at once, the idea echoed through his mind—his own self-made torture device. This is real, Piko. Stop thinking. Don't panic. Please… just focus. He snapped himself out of his zoned-out, dazed state, hoping that he hadn't looked too insane.

by **Swallowfeather** Mon Jun 27, 2016 9:30 pm

"I'm Cookie!" Cookie introduced herself, looking enthusiastic about meeting this newcomer, perhaps even a little more than usual. It seemed that something he said caught her attention. "You're a singer? That is soooo cool...!" she remarked cheerfully. She wasn't sure, however, what he meant about being "deleted". She decided against bringing it up, just in case, and simply continued on with her happy topic. "Maybe we can keep the others' spirits up with music! ... I-if you wanna join us, of course." In her enthusiasm, she had forgotten that Piko hadn't even mentioned wanting to join their group yet.

"My name's Robin," Robin joined in with his own introduction before moving on to say anything else. "Would you like to join us on our travels?" he asked Piko calmly. "We're currently on a quest to protect whoever we can from the evil forces trickling into this world," he explained. "However, remember that you won't need to participate in battles if you don't want to. If you choose not to fight, you will not be seen as a burden."

Athena smiled when she caught a hint of happiness in Piko's voice momentarily poking through the discomfort. "I'm Athena Cykes," she chimed in, "and it's a pleasure to meet you, too, Piko." In truth, there were many questions she could have asked this newcomer. For example, what sort of being he was; he appeared to be human, but seemed to have robotic qualities, as well. However, she knew that he was feeling stressed enough already, and didn't need to be overwhelmed with questions. Especially not ones that would likely be answered over time anyway as they got to know him, and would thus be sort of unnecessary. If he decided to join them, that is. She hoped deeply that he would. He needs us, she thought to herself. He seems to be going through an intensely distressing situation... He needs someone to talk to, and I'm going to be there when he's ready.

by **Tornadostorm** Mon Jun 27, 2016 9:50 pm

Flint's ears suddenly perked. He looked up to the sky, with a curious intense expression, as a Hawk swooped a ways off and caught something in it's talons. Flint blinked and turned to look at the group. He gasped in horror. They were all collapsed on the group.... Dead! Flint cried out in terror and ran over, examining them. Looking at his hands, he realized they were covered in his allies blood. He stumbled backwards in a daze. "Aaaaaahh!" Suddenly a voice caught his ear and he wheeled around. A pink Kattaca with small princess wings, and red beautiful hair kept in a pony tail, looked at him. She blinked, desperation clear on her face. "Flint....! You need to come home! Something's happened! Please!" "Mom...I er...I'm... I'm sorry! I can't... I can't leave now! I'm stuck here!" Scope's desperation turned into horrified betrayal. "Please son!" Flint blinked. His heart pounding. What could he tell her?! How could he... Suddenly he felt like he was falling and yelped.

Flint collapsed to the ground, then let out a startled gasp. He had fallen asleep. Somehow. "It's true that I haven't slept sense Chaos Peak... But wow..." Blinking in surprised embarassment. He stood, and flashed a warning embarrassed face at the group, before turning away. He saw, once he was turned, the hawk take off again, with no prey this time. He tilted his head. Wondering if he had dreamed about it because he had heard it.

by **Mistystar** Mon Jun 27, 2016 10:18 pm

Just then, Pit caught the sound of Flint's startled gasp and whirled around to see that he had seemingly collapsed to the ground. "Flint...?!" Alarmed, he ran to the Kattaca's side and knelt down beside him. "You OK?" he asked with much concern in his voice.

by **Swallowfeather** Mon Jun 27, 2016 10:33 pm

"Flint!" Cookie zipped to Flint's side concernedly. "What happened? You just... fell! Are you alright??" she asked, hoping their ally hadn't fallen ill or something.

When she heard the commotion, Athena was snapped out of her thoughts. She, too, then went to check on him. "What's wrong, Flint? she asked, sounding rather worried. "Are you feeling okay?"

Robin, too, was concerned about Flint. However, judging by the Kattaca's expression, he had a feeling he wouldn't appreciate it if he came and said anything about it. Besides, the others seemed to have that covered already.

by **Tornadostorm** Mon Jun 27, 2016 10:41 pm

Flint glared from one to the other in overwhelmed defensiveness. "I'm FINE!" He snapped.

Mintpaw gently approached and weaved her way through the group. "Flint, what happened?" She asked with her soft wide milky eyes. "No one just falls over for fun. And those that do, aren't... Healthy." Flint glared at her "I'm not sure how healthy I am, anymore." "Mintpaw, I'm fine. I just fell asleep, ok?" Mintpaw's ears perked. She sniffed the air, obviously sensing the presence of the others still hovering over the two of them.

"I wanna talk to you later." She murmured softly. Flint just snorted. "Of course you do." She backed off, leaving Flint to continue fending off his concerned allies.

by **Stealthy** Tue Jun 28, 2016 12:14 am

"Whoop! Uh oh!" Torsolus got up to see him, but saw that it was already taken care of. He backed off a little.

"OK! Well...if Flint can keep on his little white feet...I guess we're set to go! And with a new friend, too. With a data transport! This day gets better and better!"

by **Tornadostorm** Tue Jun 28, 2016 1:08 am

Mintpaw smiled at him "Heh.. Yeah. I can't wait to see what all happens." She then dashed off into the forest, disappearing from anyone's view. She was gone quite a while. And hadn't return before the commotion with Flint falling was over.

And when she came back, there was no evidence of why she had left.

by **Jewelsky** Tue Jun 28, 2016 7:11 am

Just as Piko was about to extend a greeting back to Cookie, Robin, and Athena, he was startled by Flint's sudden collapse. His initial instinct was to verbally demonstrate his sympathy, but after seeing Flint's reaction to the others' kindness, he decided against it.
And then, Mintpaw just… decided to get up and leave…? This was getting less comprehensible by the second… Why can't I just be at home? Why did they have to get rid of me like this?
"Well, uh… If he's fine, I have a few questions, actually…" Piko began, a bit unsteady. "Who exactly are we fighting against? And how am I supposed to help if all I have is this?" He held up his USB cord as he spoke. "Would I be helping Mintpaw, or what? Speaking of that, where did Mintpaw even go?" Though it sounded like he had asked quite a lot of questions, he was only scraping the surface of the questions that still lingered in his mind—many of those, he knew, could not be answered by the group around him.

by **Stealthy** Tue Jun 28, 2016 10:53 am

"Okay." Torsolus explained. "So there was this evil thing called--whatwasitcalled?--Chaos--OHRIGHT The Chaos Kid!.....KIN!!!....Golly.

He apparently messed up the world and after everybody was done beatin' on him, he flew away and made a bunch of monsters from random universes spill in. And some sweet little lady with orange hair and this trio of rhyming oddbunnies decided they wanted out. I don't blame 'em.

I don't know where we can find another portal for you. I wish I hadn't lost my paper at Chaos Peak. It had a list of times and places where portals I could access would appear."
