Trapped in a World of Light

Vs. Silver Face/Face Nemesis

Silver landed in a snowy field with some towers in the distance. She walked towards them until something else landed behind her. She turned around to look at the massive silver robot with a blade in each hand. The face on the machine seemed to stare right through the hippogriff.

Silver summoned the Gunlance. She was not about to let something three times her size take her down.

The silver faced robot brought up a sword and brought it down while raising the other one. Silver had plenty of time to raise the Gunlance up and block the assault with relative ease. Silver parried the last blow, knocking the massive machine back a bit.

The machine glared (probably, it's hard to tell with a static face) at Silver, then charged at her, aiming its swords at her legs, making a sound like it was yelling. Silver flew up, dodging the attack with ease. They locked gazes for a moment before Silver charged back at the robot, pointing the Gunlance at the machine's face. It crossed its swords to block the attack, then shoved them forward, sending Silver flying.

Silver righted herself in time to dodge the robot's attempt to tackle her. Silver moved her leg around a bit, feeling the weight of her weapon, then decided that landing would be better. She landed and looked back at the machine. Just in time to dodge it trying to land on her.

She shook the snow off of her wings and regained sight of the robot. Which was looking around for her while facing away. Silver's eyes glowed blue for a moment, then she looked at her bag. "Really?... Well, it's worth a shot."

Silver charged towards the machine as it checked the bottom of its foot. As she got close, the robot turned around in time to take a slash to the gut, knocking it off balance. Silver followed it up by stabbing it in the gut, then slashing at it again, knocking it to the ground. When it tried to get up, she bashed it with the shield part of the Gunlance.

Silver stepped away from the machine, then looked up and behind her. There was an orb with two lines floating there. The same one that she crashed into during her fight with Yona. She switched the Gunlance for the yo-yo and flung it at the orb while running towards it. The yo-yo ground against the orb until the orb broke, sending the power into Silver.

Standing a good distance away from the robot, Silver caught the yo-yo and threw it back into the air, summoning the same gun she used against Yona. The robot had just enough time to look up and see the missiles headed towards it before a massive explosion blew it to pieces.

Silver watched the gun disappear, then started walking towards the wreckage. The snow was blocking the view of most of the machine. It was only when she heard something move that she stopped. "Is that thing not done yet?"

There was a sudden scream as a yellow-haired girl rushed through the snow at Silver. Silver summoned the Gunlance and held it in front of her.

"Fiora!" Reyn appeared between them. "Stop!"

Fiora skidded to a stop. "Reyn? What are you doing?"

"That's what I should be asking you! Why are you attacking Silver?"

"I'm trying to destroy all of the servants of that thing!"

Silver smiled. "You too? We should team up!"

Mipha appeared next to Reyn. "Silver, do you always try to befriend everyone that tries to beat you up?"

"No. I usually don't have someone trying to beat me up."

Mipha buried her face in her hands.

Fiora scratched her head. "So you're... not working for that thing? How did you avoid becoming a spirit?"

"I could ask you that."

"I don't know."

"Well, I don't know either."

"You can't just-"

"Didn't you?"

Fiora held up a finger, jaw open, but said nothing.

"Thought so." Silver turned around. "Anyway, we should-"

Reyn grabbed her by the tail. "Hold on a sec. Why are you back to being a Mechon? I thought you became a Homs again."

Fiora looked herself over. "I thought so too. I just woke up like this. Face Nemesis was in front of me, so I used it a bit."

Silver tilted her head. "Face Nemesis?"

"That Faced Mechon she was piloting."

Silver had no ability to process what she just heard.

Mipha whispered into Silver's ear, "I think it's that thing you just blew up."

"Well, it attacked me first."

Both Homs placed their faces into their palms.

"Don't be too upset. You probably have no idea who Hylia or King Rhoam are."

"That's a fair point. With so many worlds combined into one, it's fairly likely that some of the worlds will have different technology from others."

"True." Silver reached into her bag. "I mean, I still have no idea what this thing is."

Fiora looked at the metal thing Silver pulled out of her bag. "That's... Meyneth's Monado!"

Reyn did a double take. "Wait, that thing is a Monado?"

"I know it doesn't look like Shulk's Monado, but it is still a Monado."

Reyn prodded the Monado. "So that's why you've been havin' visions."

"Sorry, what's a Monado?"

"The ultimate weapon said to have created our world. Wielded by the gods themselves. Our friend Shulk has his own but it's a sword."

"Oh, uh." Silver held the Monado out to Fiora. "Do you want it back?"

Fiora pushed it back towards Silver and shook her head. "No. I don't need it at all. You can hold on to it."

"Alright. I guess we should split up to take those things down. I can't imagine any of them being too hard right now."

"Right. It's not like they're blowing up everything they touch or messing with our senses yet."

Silver looked around, then pointed at a distant landmark. "We'll meet up at that tower later. Before we go past where the invisible walls are right now. Oh, uh, do you need-"

"It was useful while it lasted, but I don't strictly need it to fight. I'll be fine as I am now."

Silver nodded, turned around, and started to leave. Fiora turned away, then cringed, her hand shaking.

"Hold up! Hold up, you liar!"

Fiora turned back around just in time for Silver to shove the Monado back into her chest.

"I'm not going to have you dying because you ran out of power on me." Silver jabbed her claw into the Monado. "We can't take any chances right now."

"Um... alright. How did you-"

"Guess." With that, Silver actually flew off.
