WILL BE EDITED AGAIN LATER
We looked on as our first summoned person fell to the… floor?
“Ah, we have our first displaced person!” Pecila cheered from nearby.
“Oh shush Pecila. You summoned them without us saying anything,” Luke muttered.
“I still can’t believe you summoned someone with a selfy as a token,” Flynn grumbled.
“It was either that or a non-functioning camera,” she said as she looked around. “Why is the door near the ceiling?”
When the girl looked up she seemed to give us an odd look, though her gaze was lingering on Flynn.
“You’re the one acting like Spider Girl right now.” Pecila said, speaking up.
“To be fair you did summon someone who used a selfie as a token, Pecila, you should expect weird things,” Luke said with a snort.
“In fact, you should be use to weird things at this point,” Flynn said, placing a hand on his hip.
She raised a brow at us.
“Well I’m sorry that I happen to like weird things.” Pecila huffed as Repede gave a sharp bark from her arms. Then she looked up, “So your Max? Neato~ I’m Pecila.”
“I’m Luke Nightshade, former human.”
“Flynn Scifo. The puppy that Pecila holding is Repede.”
She snapped her fingers, “That’s where I remember that name from! You’re in Super Smash Bros. I got your token already.”
“No, that’s Robin.” Flynn said with a snort.
“Though that would be awesome if I was,” Flynn said muttering slightly.
“So, You called me to help explore some ruins? Oh yeah, if you didn’t listen to the token I’m Max Caulfield, master of time,” she said, pulling out a submachine gun.
“Well, yeah.” Pecila replied with a shrug. “I mean, your token said you had time based powers so you could pull us out of any traps we come across.”
“...Is that a gun?” Luke asked, looking at the submachine gun.
“Where did you even-urgh. I feel like I might end up getting another headache if I question it,” Flynn groaned.
“Yup!” she said with a grin. “It’s a PDW-57 from Call of Duty Black Ops 2.”
“Well, she probably got it out from the same place I keep my bag.” Pecila poked Flynn on the cheek.
her smile faltered as she gestured to the bag hanging over her shoulder, “You couldn’t see it?”
“See what?” Luke asked, raising a brow.
“My bag? It’s in plain sight. I’m not hiding it,” she said.
“Some of us were a bit busy, staring at the gun you are currently holding,” Flynn huffed.
“Well, sorry. You are a bit high up and I was near-sighted before… well, Comic-con.” Pecila rubbed her head a little as she put Repede down.
“Well, aside from the gun, lets figure out what to do next.” Luke said, seeing a nearby door and walking over to it.
“Yeah, and if we find stuff, I’ll go kidnap Twilight.” Pecila spoke up.
“Don’t kidnap Twilight. You already have a bad reputation,” Flynn groaned.
“Please don’t. She looked like she wanted to dissect and sanction my brain.” Luke said shivering slightly as he opened the door.
“Um.... How will I get through the door?” She asked from the ceiling.
“Climb up or down the wall? Depends on your perspective I guess,” Luke said walking into the room, which seemed to have various tables and safes around the walls and on the floor.
“Why not try jumping and thinking about being on the ‘ceiling’?” Pecila asked as she followed Luke with Flynn and Repede. “Also, Luke is mine, not yours. Mine!”
“Wait what? What do you mean I’m yours?” Luke asked, turning around.
“Well, I love dragons. You were half dragon when you landed on me, so it’s true love!” Pecila said, flailing her arms slightly.
“...Pretty sure I’m still half dragon, I still have the body parts after all, also reconsider your opinion of true love please?” Luke asked, as he opened the nearest table drawer.
“Not until I find a dragony guy with blue hair!” Pecila shouted as she hit a locked drawer with her scythe, breaking the lock.
*In another universe*
A certain blue haired dragon named Ryu sneezed.
“Max, you okay back there?” Pecila called out, after pulling the drawer out, a lot of dust fall out.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just taking care of something.” she called out, having remembered Pecila’s question
“Alrighty then- Oh hey theres a gun over here!” Luke called out, holding up a blue revolver.
“Why is there a gun of all things here?” Flynn questioned, having stayed back to watch Pecila and Luke.
“It was part of the trap I just disabled,” Max replied, currently near a wall, though she was still on the ceiling.
“Trap? You mean it’s cursed or something?” Pecila looked at the gun with some worry.
“If this is cursed I’m still keeping it,” Luke said aiming it at a lock on the vault after checking for rust.
“NO DON’T! That one’s trapped,” Max shouted.
“Ok Ackbar, sheesh.” Luke said aiming it at the next one and firing, only the gun didn’t fire a bullet it fired a bolt of magic “...Mine.”
“God, you’re making me wish I had come as Tiffany Ryu.” Pecila was staring at the gun.
“Because of her ability to make hammers appear out of nowhere?” Flynn asked, eying the gun with a wary look.
“That too.” Pecila replied.
Max began to what looked like randomly shaking her hands “Okay, now there’s no more active traps in here.”
Luke carefully ‘reloaded’ the gun, and fired it again which released a lightning bolt “I like this gun, it’s a magic magnum that shoots magical elements~ It goes so well with my weird sword.”
“What was that?” Pecila looked back at Max.
“I disabled all the traps in here,” She replied wincing a bit.
“Cool. Thanks.” Pecila looked toward another door. “Though I am a bit worried that there might be other things like in the Dwemer Ruins in Skyrim. Clockwork soldiers.”
“You fool! You’ve jinxed us!” Luke hissed, frantically glancing around.
“Darn it, Pecila! Did my Rps with you teach you to never do that!?” Flynn barked.
“Well, at least we know what might be- ow!” Pecila was interrupted by Repede biting her ankle.
“Um.... From what I can guess there’s one in that vault.” Max pointed at the vault Luke had shot.
“Erm… we should probably move on…“ Flynn said slowly, inching towards Pecila.
There was suddenly a loud screeching voice echoing through the ruins “Enolkovdav Pladadar uddaxudok! Roroukavk dho kikol karkaolk!*”
Pecila fell over, clutching her ears. Repede whined and placed his front paws over his ears.
Max’s smile left her face, “Did not see that one,” she said, frowning.
Luke and Flynn were similarly covering their ears.
As Pecila was writhing on the ground, covering her ears, and as Luke and Flynn had been trying to block out the sound, various arachnid machines began climbing down from the ceiling.
They looked to be made out of stone but had six colored orbs floating around the center mass, all of the orbs being of different colors.
Max jumped onto the nearest spider to her and shot it as it tried to accommodate her weight on its back.
Luke groaned, standing back up because his ears were beginning to get used to the screeching voice “Bloody reptilian ears,” he grumbled.
Pecila sat up with a whine, taking out a key. “Imma destroy that speaker.”
“I swear I’m going to end up with a headache after this,” Flynn groaned before taking a second to look around.
Max looked down at us sitting there, “You know, there are things shooting at you.” she said as a spell whizzed past her ear. she dodged as several more flew through the air where she had just been.
“I know about them! I mean, they are kind of-” She was cut off as a blast of ice hit her in the foot. “-glowing...“
Flynn didn’t respond. He simply grabbed the hilt of his sword and pulled the blade from the sheathe. The male shifted his gaze the blast of ice came from. He muttered something and quickly stood in front of Repede as flames engulfed his sword.
Luke’s head was hit with a blast of fire, and he turned around, switching his gun to his right hand and pulling his sword out into his left “That was hot.”
Pecila roared out as the key started glowing. “Sigrun, I call upon you!”
A very big lady with huge katars appeared before rushing into the spider army, ice flying everywhere from her.
“I’m going to kill them all!” Pecila screamed, putting the key away and taking her big ass scythe off her back.
“Oi, save some for the rest of us!” Flynn barked at Pecila, grabbing Repede and placing the puppy in his bag.
Luke strode towards the one that kept hitting him with fire bolts “Would. You. STOP THAT?!” he shouted as he slashed his scimitar at the arachnid machine, cutting into its core, which caused it to explode in a large plume of fire, leaving a very irate draconequus behind.
“YES! Shoot the orbs, you’ll have a good time.” Max shouted, pointing out the obvious.
“I know that. I happened to have one blow up in my face.” Luke said as he fired a few normal magic bolts out of the gun at a few of the constructs, one shot hitting the core of the one who shot Pecila’s foot, which made it blow up and freeze nearby mechs.
“Wasn’t that obvious?” Flynn cocked a brow. The male was swinging his sword in the direction of the spiders. As he swung his sword, flames erupted from the weapon and morphed into fireballs. The male lips move as he fired the fireballs in the direction of the orbs, whispering what sounded like ‘Hell Pyre’.
“Soul Bullet!” Pecila cried out as she sliced through a few spiders, just for a few orbs of darkness to pop off and smash into some others.
The remaining golems on the ceiling spread out to surround Max, while she grinned the whole time.
The woman that Pecila summoned, Sigrun, jumped to the ceiling, slashing through a few spiders.
“Thanks.” Max said as she clipped an orb on one of the last three, sending them into oblivion, with Sigrun finishing the last ones.
Luke walked over to a ground level door that some spiders came out of “Well, I highly doubt theres anything ‘valuable’ left in this room, so I’m going to follow this path and see where it leads me.”
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea. We mi-nope. Not jinxing it,” Flynn said as Repede poked his head out of his bag and barked.
“I hope we find an Enderman.” Pecila spoke up, putting her scythe back as Sigrun floated back to the ground. Pecila was then smacked on the back of the head by Flynn.
“Smart man Flynn, smart man.” Luke said, pointedly ignoring Pecila’s minecraft reference as he walked down the tunnel.
“Anyone know healing magic?” Max call down.
“I might,” Flynn answered. He didn’t seem too sure about that. “Pecila sure doesn’t.”
“.... I’ll take my chances with the ice, then.” She said jumping into the hall.
Flynn shrugs before following Luke, placing his sword back in its sheathe. Pecila huffed in anger, following Luke.
The people would hear a thump and a low groan from farther down the hall “Owww… Guys be careful, theres a random oiled section!”
Max smirked and muttered, “Giggity.”
Flynn was quietly snickering.
Pecila smacked Max on the back of the head. “No. No talk of sex around the children.”
“I HEARD THAT AND I’M NO CHILD!” Luke shouted down the hallway.
Max rubbed the back of her head, ”If I was going to, I would’ve said I want Flynn’s d-” she was interrupted by another smack.
“Excuse me!” Flynn’s face immediately turned red at what Max said.
“I was talking about Repede, not you!” Pecila yelled back before hitting Max again.
“Awoo?” Repede tilted his head in confusion.
“And leave Flynn alone, she’s had enough to worry about over the past thousand years!”
Max look back at Flynn, interest evident on her face. “So you’ve had your gender swapped as well?”
“As well?” Flynn look to Max, still blushing.
“Yeah, I used to be a guy,” Max gave him her best bedroom eyes, “Looks like we’re-”
Pecila grabbed Max and pushed her away. “No. Don’t hit on my friend.”
Flynn was about as red as a tomato and was actually left speechless. He opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, unsure on how to respond.
Max scoffed, “Fine, I’ll leave your studs alone.”
“They are not ‘studs’, they are human freaking beings you sexist ass!” Pecila snapped.
“Okay. But you haven’t denied that they’re yours~!” Max called out.
Luke had stopped at an open doorway, and looked to the group when he heard Max say that “...Oh god why.”
“... Before you leave, I will hurt you.” Pecila spoke up. “I don’t care if it’s physically or mentally, I will hurt you.”
“OKAY. Now before Max decides to say ‘kinky’ lets go explore this new room!” Luke said as he sprinted into it.
Flynn gave a small noise, following Luke at a rather slow pace. The male looked confused, shocked and a bit distress. Repede whined at this, worried that his owner might be broken.
Pecila hugged Flynn, rubbing his back. “It will be okay. The mean lady won’t touch you while I’m around to kick her ass.”
Max rolled her eyes. “I wasn’t going to unless he asked me to,” she said as she jumped to the ceiling again.
Pecila just looked up to glare at her.
Luke waited for the others to catch up to him, mainly because there was a robotic arm holding him in the air by his tail “...So, anyone care to help?”
Flynn moved in the direction Luke was in after hugging Pecila. He moved to where he heard Luke’s voice before stopping when he saw the male. “.....How?”
Max slowly reloaded my gun, being careful not to agitate her wound.
“Don’t ask me, because I seriously don’t know. I also don’t know why my bag is defying gravity either.” Luke said gesturing to the upside-down bag which didn’t seem to have anything falling out of it.
Max aimed carefully, “Try to get him to hold you up higher, I can almost-”
Sigrun just rushed in and slashed at the arm, damaging it. “Or we could do that.” Sigrun remarked.
Luke fell when the arm released his tail and landed on his face “Why does everything cause me pain?”
“Cause the world hates you?” Flynn asked.
Max opened up on the robot’s face, tearing through the metal and clay in a shower of bullets.
Sigrun grabbed Luke and jumped away. “Stay back.”
Once the clip was empty she reloaded again and trained her sights on it once again, holding her fire. “Man, fifty bullets and it still isn’t down?”
“Thats because you’re shooting a decoration.” Luke said as he pointed at where it was on the wall.
“.... I knew that.” Max said as she looked anywhere but up.
“Sure ya’ did.” Luke said as he dusted himself off.
Sigrun facepalmed. Flynn shook his head slightly.
Pecila put her finger to her lips, trying to listen.
Thump thump thump-
“Footsteps?” Pecila questioned.
Max turned to our right, kneeling down as she did so. “I hear them too....”
Pecila put a hand on her scythe, tensing up.
Something appeared in the doorway no one had been in. It appeared to be human but it was covered in thick golem-ish armor. It was also dragging a huge stone sword.
“...What is this? Skyrim?” Luke asked as he drew his sword and revolver again.
“I’ll distract it! You guys try to destroy it,” Max said as she started to shoot.
“At this point, it could very well be,” Flynn replied, pulling out his sword.
The bullets just started bounce off.
“Lets see... thick armor, large sword, bipedal machine… Aim for the knee joints to stop movement and aim for the wrists to prevent it from using its weapon.” Luke said, shooting a few Ice Bolts out of the revolver at the machine’s wrists “Man I love this thing!”
“Yeah. I’m just going to focus on the knee joints. Last thing I want to worry about is that thing dropping its sword,” Flynn muttered slightly before closing his eyes. He didn’t make any more to attack the being.
Max focused my fire on the thing’s head and neck, making it lift an arm to try to protect itself. “This feels like Shadow of the Colossus to me.” she said as she reloaded.
The humanoid groaned as the attacks hit it before it started lifting the sword, cracks appearing on it.
“Really? You’re not getting the Dwemer Ruins vibe from this place?” Luke asked with a raised brow.
“I am, I just- Whoa!” Max cried out rather anti-climatically as her leg was cut clean off at the knee.
“Holy hell! Your leg! The hell are we going to fix that?!” Luke shouted, jumping out of the way of the blade.
Pecila redirected the blade with her scythe, gabbing a key with her free hand. “Kotonoha, I call upon you! Heal Max!” Sigrun disappeared, only to be replace by a very foxy lady.
The floating fox lady went to Max, grabbing the cut off limb and using her magic to reattach it. “That will be 200 gold coins~”
“....O divine spear..” Flynn said quietly, having quickly moved to avoid the blade. What looked like a glyph formed underneath the creature. Spears composed of what looks like light appeared above the blond.
“Thanks, though I don’t have any money,” Max say as she stood back up.
“Well it’s good thing it’s not ObamaCare isn’t it Max?” Luke asked with a slight snort, firing another Ice Bolt at the cracks on the chestplate, hitting it and having ice form in the cracks, expanding as it was created.
The humanoid suddenly roared out, like it was in pain.
“That doesn’t sound like a construct. That sounds a LOT like a living creature.” Luke said as he strode forward and slammed the blunt part of his scimitar against the chestplate as hard as he could, which was the equivalent of 65 Lbs of force.
It got knocked back, the chestplate breaking off to reveal sparkling dark red fur.
“... We made a mistake, didn’t we?” Max said, seeing the fur.
“Mainly you. That chestplate was made of granite, you’re lucky your bullets didn’t penetrate it. I listed ways to stop it if it was a construct, not lethal ways.” Luke said as he walked over to the furred creature, pulling the helmet off to reveal a cat-like head and face with a bit of fear showing in it’s wide eyes.
“I know what my bullets can and can’t get through. I knew I wouldn’t be more than annoying.” Max snarked, rolling her eyes.
“...” Flynn suddenly frowned before the magical glyph underneath the creature vanished. The male turned away from the others and placed his sword in his sheathe.
“Guys, we should probably still get the sword away from him or her.” Pecila pointed out. “I mean, what if she attacks in fear.”
“Going out on a limb and saying that, also visual guess here, that SHE retaliated because she was attacked first,” Luke said, gesturing to the female “Though you’re right about the sword…” Luke said as he bent down to pick it up.
Yet again, Flynn didn’t respond. He simply listened to the others in silence. It was rather strange for the blond to be so quiet. However, Pecila would pick up the fact her friend was upset.
Pecila cautiously walked over to Flynn. “We’ll talk about later, ‘kay?”
Yet again, Flynn didn’t respond. He simply glared in the direction of the wall, grumbling something about a wasted arte.
Pecila rubbed Flynn’s back. Flynn, however, moved away.
“Why don’t we try talking to her?” Max asked.
“Jesus… Christ… This is a damn heavy sword…!” Luke grunted as he picked it up and dragged it away, dropped it, and returned to the female with a sigh “Fair point Max.” He crouched down in front of her “If you can understand me nod once”
The cat blinked before one of it’s paws started glowing.
Luke groaned and stood, backing up a bit, “I’m going to assume you understand me but just don’t like us or trust us?”
There was a flash throughout the chamber. “Working now?” The cat asked in scratchy English.
“Yes, it is. So, uh, sorry for attacking you without much reason.” Luke said to the cat, glaring at Max a tiny bit.
Max gave a sheepish smile, “Yeah, sorry about that.... Everything else had tried to kill us, so I just assumed. you would as well.“
“So far the only things that tried to kill us were mechanical spiders with elemental cores. The robotic arm had just picked me up by my tail for some reason,” Luke said with a slight frown.
“Kinda weird since dungeons like this usually have more enemies.” Pecila muttered.
“You’ve jinxed us again. Thanks for that,” Luke said with a slight groan as he looked back to the cat “So, I doubt that you’re living here, and that there’s a reason for you to be here.”
“Yes, there was reason.” The cat said in scratchy English. “Disease on surface. Many dead.”
Max jumped and smacked Pecila on the back of her head, “Seriously need to stop that.” she landed and said, ”You just invited Murphy and his law in.”
“No, No, you’ve got it wrong, Murphy IS the law in this world, Max.” Luke said with a groan.
“I wondered where his book had gone.” Max joked.
Pecila rubbed her own head. “I was just pointing something out.”
“What did the disease do?” Flynn replied, ignoring the other three as he look to the cat. “And you came here to avoid the disease?”
“Not only one. Others came. Scientists and Civilians.” The cat replied. “Disease cause death and insanity.”
“Oh, so you’re not alone?” Flynn questioned.
“Not when asleep. My pod only one safe.” The cat looked to the floor.
Luke looked to the cat with sorrow in his eyes “...Thats terrible, where did the disease come from?”
“No cat knows. Just appeared. No affect Dogs. Only cats affected.”
“I’m sorry for disturbing this place, none of us knew what it really was, but to make up for what we’ve done, would you like to come with us?” Luke asked, looking to the cat.
“No. Must find others. Must be alone.”
“But why must you be alone? Surely having people help you would be a great boon in your search,” Luke said as he sat in front of her.
“Maybe because of the fact she doesn’t exactly trust you,” Flynn muttered under his breath as Repede poke his head out of his bag.
“Or there’s secrets she wants to hide.” Pecila pointed out.
“I still say it’s more so my reason,” Flynn grumbled slightly.
“We no trust outsiders.” the cat said, standing up.
Luke’s ear twitched when Flynn had said that, showing he had heard what Flynn had said “Any particular reason why?”
“Either way, this is starting to get above my paygrade,” Max said as she put away her gun.
“Bye, Max.” Pecila waved to her. “The contract is fulfilled. You can leave.”
Flynn simply just muttered something to himself, returning his gaze to the wall.
Max waved as she sank into a portal.
Luke stood from sitting in front of the cat and turned to Max “Goodbye Max, may you be free from the laws of Murphy~”
Max called out just before the portal closed, “Make sure Pecila isn’t too rough in bed you two~!”
“What the hell?!” Luke shouted, trying to shooting Max with an Ice Bolt before the portal closed, with no luck.
“Damn it!” Flynn growled and tried to fire a fireball from his sword at the portal, only to failed as well.
“I WILL MURDER HER!”
The cat had heard what Max had said and understood it, which made her fall down laughing.
“Repede, get the kitty,” Flynn grumbled.
Repede eyes brighten at this before he leap out of Flynn’s bag. The puppy barked loudly and ran in the direction of the cat.
“Ahh!!! No!!!” The cat said, running from Repede.
Repede just kept barking, chasing the cat.
“Oh that reminds me, what’s your na- Why are you climbing up my back?” Luke asked as he looked to the cat.
She pointed at Repede “I no like dogs; my name is Strawberry.”
