Chapter 17 (Tough Exo & Large Harvest)

“Now that’s gone. I’m buying myself some fast-food.” Said Tough Exo as she walked away

“Same here.”

“I’m out of here.”

“I need some food.”

Tough Exo marched out as she noticed Harvest following her “O.K. before I accuse you for stalking me, why are you following me? Large looked at bit glum.

“Game and Fancy are out on a date, Dark Speed went solo, Sweet Tunes is being a guardian to Sharp Shooter in this overly protected society and I.Q. and Death went to buy some tech which is something I wouldn’t buy, unless its porn. I got nothing planned except for buying a Switch for myself and larger clothes for my size. I was hoping we could hang out if you’re cool with it?” Tough looked at him and snickered

“You must be high but too bad it’s a crime unless you’re selling it to the hospital. I’m cool with it, also if a pig in the blue suit ask questions; tell them I’ve been with you the whole time and is innocent on anything illegal shit which I didn’t do… yet.” Large looked at her and shook his head.

“Can we not do that.”

“Fine but first I got to go back home. I got to inform my folks that I haven’t been arrested again.”

50 minutes later in downtown
Large Harvest was following Tough Exo to the south side of Canterlot City while eating some burgers and fries. It has some litter, some buildings with cracks and some people looking pissed off. “Is it me or are they pissed at us?”

“No, it’s me. I pissed them off when they didn’t pay what they owe on time or try to hold me hostage.” Said Exo which made Large looked at her. “I’m not a mobster’s daughter. I’m a thug’s kid but with the cops had our bank accounts frozen. We’re trying to maintain a normal life but in a thug’s life, is its own rewards.” Large backed away from her, a few inches away.

“You scare me sometimes.”

“It’s my living as me.” She placed her hands on her hips “Plus, they should know that squealing and testifying false information about me; gets their fingers bent the wrong way.” Large gulped as he followed her home.

They walked up to a tall apartment building; with some bullet holes, some damage windows with bars in the first floor, a white outline in shape of a person near the wall. Large saw that as his eyes widen “Ignore it, ignore it.” Said Tough Exo as she pushed him into the building. When they enter; it was all shit. Litter through the building, bullet holes on the wall, rats pass through grabbing rotten fruit, roaches crawled on the wall and another body outline.

“Is this building filled with body outlines?” Asked Large as Tough walked over it.

“Uh… don’t ask. I forgot the numbers. Also, this building is constantly bug.” They walked to a door with the number 69. They snickered at the door “My folks and I always laugh whenever we see it. She opened the door as they see the living room with common crappy furniture.

“It’s… nice.” Lied Large

“Go ahead, say it anyway. It’s crap!” Said Tough Exo. “We used to live in a nicer house but the dorks in blue took it away when they planted false evidences in our home, than we were kicked out of our home and our stuff wasn’t give back to us. We had no choice but to live in our apartment building that we own. I know who the rat is but somehow I think I know how he did it.” She said as she fell on her crappy sofa. “Also, I need your help to through to dump the body in the sewer.” The door slammed open as two cops pulled their guns at her as Large fell back on some trash bags. “SUCKERS!!! I knew you were listening!!!” The cops snapped their fingers.

“DAMN IT!!!” Said one of the cops.

“FOOLED AGAIN!!!” Said the other.

“I would offer you two a glass of water but GO @#$% EACH OTHER!!!” She said as she flipped them off. The cops were pissed off

“We will. Come on Johnny.” Said one of the cops

“Right back at ya, Law.” Said Johnny. Large watched them leaving as Johnny place his hand of Law’s ass.

“They’re gay lovers, right?” He asked as Exo smirked but looked ticked off

“I don’t anything against them. Plus, they’re I can imagine all I want.” Large was holding his barf as she looked pissed “What? Got anything against gays?” Large shook his head and swallowed it

“NO! I don’t want to imagine the sex and I don't have any against anyone that's gay.” He said as Tough pulled a small device from a potted plan

“They got to hid them better.” She said as she threw it out the window. Large looked uncomfortable

“So why are we here?” Exo looked at the ceiling.

“Do you know why I’m a bitch at the times?” Large looked dumbfounded.

“Because you have a temper? You hate anyone who calls you by your full name? You hate the rich snobs like Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna’s nephew? Because you hate people who thinks their superior like Wealthy Mind?” Tough Exo closed her eyes.

“All good reasons, along with my full name. You try to get yourself calm when anyone makes fun of you being named after the skeleton of insects?” Large nodded since he’s being made fun of for having been born big when he was in elementary school for being 5ft tall. “I’m a bitch because of law enforcement.”

“Huh?”

“Cops aren’t exactly the most trusted to people like me. People who live in the bad parts of the city. Due to living here, the law enforcement believes all people living there is born bad, so they always suspect us.” Large looked down that this city has been labeling stereotypes to people.

“That blow logs.”

“Exactly. When I find out the rat; his ass is grass.” She got off the couch as Large Harvest had an idea

“Now let’s do something I’ll never do in a lifetime. Go to the library.” Exo looked at him and was horrified.

20 minutes later in the public library
Large and Tough were looking at books by walking between the bookshelves “What are we looking for again?” asked Exo as she looked at him

“Remember when High Stocks said that Book Shield I have is from a Book I.D. when G-Life enter it in the school’s library?” Said Large Harvest as she remembers that he did said that.

“Yeah?”

“If our school has one, so this place has one too.” Said Large as they went to areas of the library that a screen appeared in front of them

[An entrance to I.D. – Level: Between LV 20 & 30]
Book I.D. is found.
Would you like to enter? Accept: Yes, Deny: No

“This is the area. Shall we enter, Shieldman?” Large looked annoyed

“Oh hardy-har-har. Very funny but I will say that is a good name for a Robot Master for Megaman.”

“Also, I wonder if Game… no forget it. He never comes here, unless this library has Game-theme books or manga.” Said Exo as they enter the dungeon.

Everything was quiet, quieter than a library should be. “Man… this dungeon is quiet as a church that's been abandoned for decades.” Said Large.
“Like someone's home when you break enter their home to beat home up.”

‘A new Skill “Bloodthirst Detection” has been created after feeling extreme bloodthirst.’
[Bloodthirst Detection (Passive) LV 1] - A skill that detects another’s bloodthirst within 25 meters. It will sense the location of Bloodthirst.

“What? Who or what has bloodthirsted?” Asked Large “Except you if someone wrong you.” The bookshelves began to shake up as books fell out as they floated in the air as teeth appeared out of them.

Living Books LV 25
HP: 600 MP: 300
A book manifested by the obsession of book owners. The will of the readers will consume any creature that has high intelligence and destroy all with low intelligence.

“HOLY SHIT!!!” They screamed as ran out between the shelves

“I guess G Life was telling the truth about brain eating books!” Large pulled out his shields and blocked them from taking a bite out of him and Exo

“I got the books! You ripped them in half!” Exo pulled out her gauntlets, equip them as she grabbed them by the teeth and ripped them at the spines. After ripping 20 of those books, Exo was panting as Large place his and on her back. “You okay?”

“Yeah… I never thought I get winded out from ripping books. I need… more stamina.” She fanned herself with a stack of pages. “Let’s see the loot, it better be good.” They look down and observe the loot.

Sheet of Paper x30 – Fresh paper from a tree.
A Hardcover of a Book x2- This cover is for making a book.

“Are you @#$%in kidding me?! I ripped books to get this crap.” She picked up the pages and covers. “Game gotten magical books and that shield, right? So why didn’t we get them?” Large put some thought into it.

“Perhaps it could be that I.D.s created by people are different? I mean High school library is filled with teenagers who have massive imagination thoughts. And this is a public library, so people of all ages have some limits.” He said as a book came flying, opened as a knife came out and stabbed Large Harvest in the chest which shocked Exo.
“LARGE!!!” She screamed as Large grabbed the book which shocked her.

“Not… dead.” Said Large as he ripped the book in half. “I’m still shocked that I’m still alive.” The book vanished as a new book appeared.

“Holy shitballs…” said Tough Exo as Large looked at his wound to see no cut, no blood but a small cut hole in his clothes.

“And no wound but what if…?” He looked at his stats to see he lost 5HP. “Okay… so I lost a little HP. I guess when I wield these shields increase my defenses, flimsy attacks will not work on me.”

“I guess that makes you the tank like your avatar.” Said Tough as she picked up the book. “And wonder what this book is?”

Knife Book Vol 1, Attack: 30 Type: Summon Weapon, Required Strength: 10 – A Book that will unleashed a phantom projectile knife. The knife will vanish when the book is closed.

Tough raised her brow and opened it away from her as a knife fired out of the book and jabbed a bookshelf. She closed it as it vanished and looked at Large “I guess this is okay. I think we should leave, I’m getting the feeling that we’ll get more pages if we stay here.” Large nodded as they raised their hands.

“I.D. Escape!” They both yelled as the area shattered as everything was back to normal as they left the library.

They went to the area near the condemned buildings area. “Okay, this is place is where no one will come near and no cops until the demolition crew come to knock it down.” Large put some thought into it.

“Perhaps we could use my Barnyard or Fancy’s backyard to train or an I.D. where we could make into a battlefield.” He said as they were practicing

“I.D. Create.” They both said.

10 minutes later

They were okay as they looked at their skill level “Okay so our skill to crate and escape to LV 7.” Said Exo.

“And we got 5 optional choices. Perhaps we make what we want and a combine I.D. for multiple monsters.” Said Large.

“Fine but I will pick the I.D. of my choice since the library was your idea.” Large nodded “I.D. Create Bug!” The area went quiet as they looked above to witness some giant Dragonflies in the sky. “Holy shit.” They hid between the buildings.

“This Abyss is total bullshit. Giant bugs, brain-eating books and that army we were involve in; Game Life is involved in hell itself.” Said Large.

“Hell, or not, we agree to be part of it. Plus, he’s our friend, and I know this is corny crap but sometimes friends make things a bit more interesting… or worst.”

“Dark Speed’s POV, there is always effective side-effects. Okay so what’s your plan? I doubt that my goblins can make a difference.” He said.

“Go to them. I’ll shall hunt for some monsters I want to tame.” She said as Large Harvest opened a portal to his monster farm.

Large Harvest’s turn
Large opened a portal to my MF (Monster Farm) and enter as his farm to see his goblins were happily growing crops, harvesting, making some tools and relaxing with others as 3 females had some bulges on their stomachs. “Whoa… you guys have been busy lately.” As the goblins turned to witness their master and ran towards him as they took a knee.

“Master!” Said all the goblins as Large looked embarrassed

“Uh… at ease.” He looked at them carefully as some of them looked bigger than he remembered; some looked a bit darker in the skin, some have hair, some have gotten taller, their fangs have gotten sharper. “I see that some of you have grown. Please, one of you explain to me of… your new… evolution?” The goblins looked at each other as one of them that looked different stood up to Large.

“Master; I am GobNate, a Hobgoblin.” Large looked confused

“Hobgoblin? I remember taming Goblins.” GobNate looked nervous “It’s okay, I just need answers.” GobNate looked relaxed

“When you gave us the food; we did what you asked, we removed the seeds, we planted them like you ordered us to.” Large remembered that he did say that.

“Continue.”

“When you were leaving; we witness the sexy warrior that decapitating that ogre’s head off.” Large looked confused

(“Tough Exo? Sexy? In your dreams or until she grows a bit; in height and sizes.”)

“Unknown energy poured into all of us and 14 of us have evolved into the Hobgoblins you now see.” Said GobNate as Large was surprised

“I guess the ogre that Exo killed, have given all in the area or around have given EXP to you all.” He said.

“And if you don’t find what we said to anger you; can you give us some clothing for us for our evolved bodies please?” Large looked at them as some loincloths was small for the males and the females’ clothes…

“I understand. I’ll get some clothing for you and some meat.” Said Large as they cheered as he noticed some of the females with big bellies. “Uh… before I leave, can you tell me why that some of the goblins look… pregnant?” Some looked at each other and smiled as Large looked surprised“Oh… shit.”

Tough Exo’s Turn
Tough watch Large enter the portal to his MF, she looked up to see a giant beetle landed in front of her “I asked for bugs and I’m getting bugs!” She raised her fists and equip her gauntlets “OBSERVE!”

Giant Beetle (Dynastes Hercules) LV 33
This creature is created by the obsessive rarity by Beetle Collectors. This beetle will attack a target that’s the strongest.

“Bring it on!” The beetle tried to jabbed Exo, but she ducked as she slides down underneath it, grabbed its legs and ripped them off as the beetle screeched in pain. “HA!” Yelled Tough Exo as she jumped on its back. “NOW DIE!” Tough grabbed the horn, pulled it back and kicked it to snap the horn off. She spun it over her head and skewered the beetle in the head as it fell. “HAW-HAW! God of War, rip your heart out for me!” The beetle turned to smog as the beetle’s back shell was on the ground “Freaking sweet.”

Beetle Wings, Support Equipment – This item is created from the remains of a Giant Beetle. When equip with this item, the user’s back is protected from projectile weapons and close-combat weapons and gives the user’s the ability to fly depending on the user’s stamina.

“BADASS!” Tough grabbed it and equipped it on her back, it shrinks to her size. She jumped in the air as the shell opened up as wings came out flapping rapidly as she went to the top. “I’m now awesome!” She saw a giant moth heading towards her, Tough smirked and punched it between its eyes as it turned to smog and dropped some orb “God damn it.” She said as she flew downward for it. She caught it and observe it.

Moth Eyeball – An eyeball of a moth. Used as an ingredient for creating poison or creating a poison effect to a weapon.

“Gross… if it was Fancy or Tunes. Death would love this.” She tossed it to her inventory as she discovered a hive. “Shit.” Bees emerge out of the hive “SHIT!” The bees swarmed around her as some of them tried to sting her. “OBSERVE!”

Queen Bee’s Hive – A beehive that contains the worker bees, guard bees and the Queen bee. The bees will not stop until the Queen Bee is decease or the hive is destroyed.

“BRING IT ON!!! BEE-ITCHES!!!”

At the Ground
A portal appeared as Large Harvest and some of his Goblins and Hobgoblins (Male & Female) followed him with pitchforks, scythes and garden hoes. “I can’t believe that some of you are going to be parents.” Some of them were blushing “And remember; Do not discriminate those who prefer the same sex.”

“Yes sir!” They yelled as a giant bee fell which frighten them, even Large.

“GGAAAAHHHH!!!” They looked shocked as they looked up to see some small beetle fighting bees

“Tough?” Said Large as the fallen bee moved a bit which alerted him “KILL IT!” He yelled as the goblins attacked it as it turned to smog as its stinger and a large yelled drop appeared “What’s this?”

Giant Stinger – The stinger of a Giant Guard Bee. This Stinger can be used as a weapon or material to craft a weapon.
Glob of Honey (Size of a Basketball)– This Glob is solidified to prevent the honey from making it sticky to hold. To make this glob like regular honey, heat it in a pot and wait to cool down.

“Interesting. GobNate, you take the stinger.” He turned to them as the remainder goblins turned to Hobgoblins. “Oh…” GobNate looked up as he pointed in the air.

“Incoming!!!” Large looked up as well as the Hobgoblins to witness some bees falling as massive pieces of something was falling.

“Flee!” He yelled as his Hobgoblins followed him as they witness that hive had fallen to pieces as they witness Tough Exo riding the largest bee they witness while it was wearing a crown on its head.

“Hey Large! How’d you love my new Tame ally; Q.B.?” She said as she jumped off and hovered for a landing.

“Bwa… How?” asked Large as Tough looked smugly.

“Easy… I was fighting LV 8 Giant Bees in the air, so those bee stingers don’t jab me. I was beating them into bug meat, but I was getting pissed off and smashed the hive is my new move ‘Rocket Fists’. The Queen was pissed off and tried to kill me, but I tamed this royal bitch and made it my bitch.” Said Tough with a smirk and noticed the Hobgoblins “So… what’s with the new goblins?” Large looked at them

“They’re my goblins that evolved.” Exo looked at them and noticed the packages. She smirked

“Can’t wait for the next evolution.” She said

“Perverted skank.” Said Large

“That’s just me. Anyway, shall we continue our training?” Large looked at the bugs and nodded

“We should after we collected the loot.” They began to collect the loot as Large looked at the sky “I wonder what the others are doing?”
