Arc 1-chapter 11-weapon
-MARCOOOOOO
-yes ms.Itaka?
-WERE YOU THE ONE WHO PUT BLUE SNAIL GOO IN MY COFFEE?
-bhahahahahahahahahah
_as Heishi was dying of laughter (and the others in rita's inn aswell)for the prank that Marco pulled on her . For context blue snail goo turns your tongue blue and inhibits your sense of taste for a few days _
-good mornin' ya laddies (and Marco) , everyone ready for a g'day?
(Everyone)-yes granny Rita!
-then ya better start makin it good now !
_after that everyone left with a happy face on , ready to do their work _
-Itaka start going towards Mirio, me and Marco have to go to master kael's workshop for a second
-sure just don't take so long
_they then went through the everselling market to Kael's wokshop, but when they entered they could hear him being occupied with something important , so as the door bell entered after they got in , one of the blacksmith assistants _
-hello and welcome to the unicorn's smithsho-oh good morning Heishi
-good morning Martin
-what's with the noise from the back
-Chief Kael says that its something from cyberspace
-what
-heard me right
-… could you help Marco get a wand that fits him ? Im going in the back
-sure
_Heishi was now a usual at Kael's shop because of the persistent need of the blacksmith to check up the armor piece _
-Master Kael
-right on time lad, this thing might actually be right for ya
_ Kael was holding what it looked to be a naked doll , a human sized one, approximately the size of a human 15 year old but with a face far older than her size, with tomboy-ish face and hair features , with horns and a little devil tail, quite a weird doll if you ask me , however Heishi knew perfectly what that was _
-WHAT in the everliving HELL is an aniweapon doing here???
-a ani what?
-it's a cyberspace weapon project from the intel i have , but this little one is missing one soul
-what do you mean
-how it works is you put a dying person's soul in the machine , which becomes bound to the ai( the doll we see ) and powers up the user immensely. Plus from what i heard you can also bind your own soul…
-but why is it a weapon?
-because it can transform into one , that's how you use it and how you can power up using it
-got it, so what you're saying is that this one is missing a soul and only the ai is present
-correct.
-tell me honestly do you think i can handle something like this ?
-i do not know, you're surely skilled , but this is a creation of the eldrich architects , so i think it would be best if you don't touch it too much. Also the way they are dressed and their facial features should specify their purpose, but what could a little devil girl mean?
-so if we activate it…
-its just gonna be a devil girl with their own personality , only that someone can "own" them, ownership is determined by the ai's criteria of course , you can't just tell it you own them , the ai will decide whether you do or not
_after agreeing Heishi turned on the aniweapon . It started activating by moving every limb and checking for anomalies , after no anomalies were found, their eyes opened (Heishi did not use pronouns for each ai had its own gender so neither will i until they tell what it is) _
-si…sys…system…system recovered. Proceeding with functional activation. Achieved. Proceeding with movement activation. Achieved. Proceeding with damage diagnosis. Achieved. No damage recieved. Missing soul component , aniweapon capacity limited . Proceeding with program start. Achieved.
-seems you knew how to start it
-these things are only taught of in books but i do remember the process
-so this is what's supposed to be a weapon made by one of the founders of cyberspace huh? Peculiar i must say
_after a but of silence, the doll stood up and made appear on her exactly what Heishi was wearing , in a more female version of it , even replicating the prism button with it _
-hi , im Gehenna and I've wandered around in scearch of my new owner, appointed to be subject "negative 0" also known as "soldier", which should live near this area by calculations
_Heishi's skin became pale and started shaking , terror was the emotion on his face, horror, disgust, rage, sadness, darkness, despair_
/*the project was disbanded and everyone else killed, they all made sure there would be no trace or incriminating evidence left, so how does this relic know who i am and my codename? */
_in Heishi's mind reappeared the terrifying images of what they did to him in that structure , the serious faces of those doctors who thought they were doing good for the sake of mortals , by capturing children and improving their genetics in various ways . The image of his reflection when the blue haired man found him in that rainy day, with him only dressed with a cape and some shorts underneath , on the cape the name tag "NEG-0"_
-it's me
-do you mind ma taking a sample to confirm that?
-go ahead
_a needle appears out of her index finger and extracts a sample of blood from her new owner's veins . After doing some internal calculations she changed her appearence into a taller , black long haired and eyed and more sexually appealing demon girl _
-looks changed to fit your tastes, how do you like it?
-can't say I don't
_he did , and a lot , but was still kind of shaken from the memories that had just came back _
-confirmed ownership of subject "Heishi" … ok now that it's all done i can stop talking like my pro-prototype
_she meant it as in "stop talking like my great-grandma"_
-my name's Gehenna nice to meet you all ^^
-nice to meecha brat n.2 , name's Kael and im the owner of this shop
-uuu a magic based blacksmith ! I've never seen one ! well not that i remember of :/
-well young lady i can surely let you watch whenever ya want just come in durin' early mornin and you'll probably find me smithin'
-I'll keep that in mind master Kael
-here goes another… BOY IS IT SO HARD TO JUST CALL ME KAEL??!
_Heishi didn't have the energy to laugh yet. So he limited to silently buy the wand that Marco wanted and explaining to him that Gehenna was a "special friend of his that made him a surprise" and she just backed up Heishi . They then headed to the others , ready to depart with an unexpected extra friend_
-so uhm Heishi who is she?
-she's big bro's friend who came from cyberspace ti help him get stronger!
-mhm… sure
_Itaka and Mirio stared at her and then at him , as in a "you'll explain later " , and Heishi nodded _
-so what is our fantastic destination this time? I've never been in the war stripes so this is sooo exciting (^w^)
-the war stripes? What's that?
-I'll explain Marco but let us get on the carriage first
-why can't we just teleport there Mirio cmon my sword wants to fight alreadyy
-no Itaka for this mission we cannot leave magic traces as big as teleports
-oh-la-la my first is a sneaky one wow
_they all got on a black carriage powered by a mana-based engine which they just had to start and set a direction to make work, really simpler and more efficient than horses_
-ok now that we're all here let me explain you a bit of the geography of this world…
_Heishi fell asleep so i will have to do the work instead of his ears. Welcome to Nie , a (3 times hearth in km3 ) world in the blue solar system of Z'0(the name of the star it orbits ). The world is 54% of the surface water and only has one big continent , this continent is then politically divided in 6 kingdoms or empires, and the war stripes . The war stripes are (as in the name ) the territories in between the kingdoms which have their government in the assembly of the great guilds. Here adventures take place and merchandise movement are made, so basically when the money and thrill all is . The laws here are basically conveniences that adventurers use and the rules of what can make a guild war happen and how said war unvelops. _
-Heishi
-did we arrive? And why did you have to wake me up this close and while on top of me
-would you have woken up otherwise?
-i mean no but…
-then i did the right thing
_after Itaka got off him he got out of the carriage and looked around him : a dark and rotten wasteland_
