'A link world?' Sasuke's mind turned first to Kaguya's Core Dimension, which enabled her to easily travel to any of her other realms... it wasn't quite the same. While Kaguya's Core Dimension had enabled easy travel to other worlds, no one had ever gone into that place unintentionally.

 

"How often do people end up in this world? And are there ways to go back?" Sasuke asked.

"Couldn't tell you how much. I see new people every day around here. In fact, most of the staff here come from different worlds especially the mercenary group. As for how to get back..."

 

"I would say come the same way you came from, but I get the feeling it's not as simple as that in your case."

"Well first of all...Lucent, you should come back down here. Being up there for so long is going to get the guards here to be suspicious of you."

 

"Second of all, we're not far off from the hangout. I'm going around this crowd and passing through, I have no interest in whatever is going on. But if anyone is curious, feel free to stick around and meet up later at the hangout. Besides, Anwalt and Lucent are supposed to be on vacation anyway, they're the ones that should be taking in everything this place has to offer the most rather than following my own selfish desires."

 

 

"Is there a festival in this area?"

 

She looked around trying look at how far around they would have to go to get past the crowd.

 

(This area is more crowded than usual. Looks like we'll have to get around them to get to the hangout.)

"A phenomenon? I don't really understand, but hopefully they'll figure it out before it becomes a problem. It's better if we just move on."

The guard turned around and began to move towards the flashing lights. As the guard had stated, there were several roads visible from where they were that seemed to lead away from the district ahead. One in particular, straight left from where they were, seemed to have several people walking along its length.

 

"Light, over there. Can we get to the hangout from that path?"

As the group continued their travels through the bustling city, they would soon enter a what looked to be a shopping district, rows of shops lining both sides of the street. However, unlike the other districts, this district was devoid of any people or traffic, the only things that could be found around here being several mechanical guards and the occasional stray mechanization acting as though it were a normal human, walking down the other side of the sidewalk with a casual pace. Flashing lights could be seen up ahead, though no sounds could be picked up from where they were. Of course, this caused Penelope to visibly shake.

 

Penelope: Uhhh....I'm not sure flashing lights are a good sign...

 

She was already creeped out by how empty it was despite the signs of life behind them, but seeing lights was almost always a bad sign to her. What if there was a huge fight, or maybe even a murder?! Scary thoughts continued to fill her mind, a low whimper escaping her mouth. Truthfully, though, she really wanted to see what was going on. Maybe it would also be the first step on her journey to becoming a real hero! Err...heroine? Probably both!

 

"Light, do you know another path to get there? I don't think we're supposed to be in this area."

"While I'm interested in those combat related services, I was more interested in getting some information about this world," Sasuke responded.

 

"Information about this world? I'm afraid there's quite a lot of topics regarding this world."

 

???

"I think you better let me take care of this one, Hisui."

 

The two would be approached by a man.

 

"I get the feeling you're going to go in circles for a while."

 

"Are you certain Gordeau-san? I wouldn't want to intrude in your break time."

 

"Ah, don't worry about it. I was getting bored anyway. Pretty sure there are more important matters you better take care of."

 

"Understood. I'll leave this matter to you then, Gordeau-san."

 

The mecha maid bows before leaving

 

"Sorry about that. She and her sisters actually pretty reliable and could explain this whole place well, but anything else should probably be left to the rest of us."

 

"Anyway, you want to know about this world, right? Well for starters, this place is what they call a Link world. In short terms, you get visitors from many worlds coming in here."

 

"But if you're wondering how different things are, I can't really tell you without knowing how your world is like. But I wouldn't worry too much about fitting in, since we get people from so many worlds, there aren't that many things that would seem strange around here."

Candor City - The Warrior's Hangout

 

 

Sasuke entered the Warrior's Hangout, finding the inside to be as high-tech as the outside made it appear. Quite a few people appeared busy with tasks, but Sasuke noticed a purple-haired maid heading his way.

 

"Is there someone I could talk to for more information?" Sasuke asked the purple-haired maid...

 

"Greetings."

 

The Mecha maid proceeded to bow.

 

"Welcome to the Warrior's hangout. We offer a variety of combat related services. Is there something in particular you are interested in?"

True. My creations are for everyone to enjoy, not just one person.

 

And BTW @WlanmaniaX, I intended to release this a couple days ago, but forgot to do so. I didn't entirely finish the edit, but that's where you come in and make your updates to him.

Ok, and here's another reality check for you. When you edit something, you also take over the responsibilities for that edit. Wlan can update whatever he damn pleases. The edit you made is YOUR responsibility now.

I hate to fuss what you did not listen to my commands, you are supposed send a link to me in private until I need to fix more tweeks on him?

 

Ok so here's a reality check. If anyone wants to edit something of yours and release it, they don't need your permission. Once it's out there, it's fair game.

Some would say...but there's a method to his madness. As far as dream place goes...sure. It shares some similarities to The Bottom. With one major difference. Darkflare himself. Any fight can be a learning experience, but having someone who watches from a far and give you constructive criticism from an angle you can't see...because your fighting...is beneficial. 

 

As LightFlare leads the others, he continues on about The Warriors Hangout...

 

Liltih...I'd strongly suggest you take advantage of Darkflare's facilty. It's state of the art. He uses advanced equipment to analyze and "dissect" fighters in order to draw the best out of individuals. If he's hard on you...it's probably because he feels you can do better. And that's usually based on previous data, observations and experience. He's like a cross between a personal trainer and a scientist. Not to mention the mecha maids running around all over the place...

 

"I'm beginning to understand now. The way you speak of him...he was your mentor before. That's why you hold him in such high regard, he was the one that trained you to be such a talented fighter. It would explain your names as well. They're titles between a teacher and his student, proof that your training under him has been completed."

Heh...no. It's just that all types of people show up there. Fighters. Bounty hunters. Royalty...from one end of the spectrum to the other. And Darkflare's..."infamy"...comes from his methods and state of the art facilty. If you're looking to learn more than just whether you and him are similar...like maybe a few new techniques...or maybe just refine the ones you have...his facilty is a good place to start.

 

"Sounds like a dream place for fighters like you. Being able to meet all sorts of people and refining your combat capabilities all in one place. I'm guessing his methods must be harsh."

With that, LightFlare begins to lead the others to The Warriors Hangout.

 

 

 

Lilith followed along, trusting that they would arrive soon. She did take a moment to look toward Lucent.

 

"You think you'll be alright, Lucent? This place clearly attracts a lot of people that enjoy fighting and you made it quite clear how much you hate violence."

That's the Warriors Hangout...the infamous training center ran and operated by the it's possibly even more infamous caretaker...Darkflare.

 

"Infamous? You make it seem like both the place and Darkflare have some shady stuff going on."

What!? I can't share my feelings? I'm not just all muscle...

 

Yea! That beard makes up the rest of you for sure! Am I right Lilith!?

 

Melina laughs as she teases LightFlare who chuckles along with her.

 

"Well, it does make him seem rougher than he really is.. But then again, I barely know him to say for certain."

 

6 hours ago, LightFlare_Da_Realest said:

Well...its quite a walk. We could just go on foot or use public transportation. I'm fine with either. I'm sure if we catch a ride they'll take us right to the Hangout. But I know the way so if we're walking...I'll get us there.

 

"As much as I can't wait to get there, I don't mind walking. It's not a bad idea to look at the rest of the city while we get there. Besides, it's the one building that looks like it doesn't belong, right? It's not exactly easy to miss."

With the matter of the pirate attack taken cared of, the ship soon proceeded to resume it's voyage to Candor City. After some time has passed, Lilith looked out the window as the city itself began to be visible. A large city with many tall buildings that could pass off as castles easily reaching the clouds in the sky.

 

"W-wha-? What the hell?"

 

Lilith's attention wasn't to the large building in the center. Her attention was to the building that looked like it was plucked from somewhere else and placed there, the more modern look making it stick out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the city.

 

"That building doesn't even look like it belongs there."

 

Disregarding the blatant lack of attempt of even making the building blend in with the rest of the area, she could already tell this was the Hangout she sought.

Lilith kept silent as she also began to sit down. It did seem somewhat odd that the pirates were able to invade the ship rather easily. She didn't have any evidence as to how that was possible and figured the crew would be able to find clues so they can patch up their security flaws. There was also the brief moment where she fought alongside Lucent, Umbra and Jin although it didn't last long considering how weak the enemies were, but it was enough to let her know that they can trust each other when things get serious. Still, there was no guarantee they would stay together once they arrived at the destination.

 

(This attack certainly delayed things. I hope it doesn't take long to get back on track, there's still a long way to go.)

 

There was the original plan of looking around, but with the recent attack, things would be different with additional areas closed off and security even tighter than before. There was the chance that the allowed areas would be too limiting to bother exploring as they investigated everything. For now, she was just going to wait for the others to come back while monitoring Penelope.

Penelope: Umm...I'm trying my best, buuuut, it's really tough...do I have to clear my mind or something? Like focus on one thought so I forget about everything else?

 

"Precisely. I told you to calm your mind and only concentrate on yourself. Hm....I should give some context to this."

 

"We all have an internal energy.flowing through us. There are many names such as lifeforce, aura and ki energy. With the proper training this energy can be manipulated in many ways. This is how Light, Melina and I primarily perform our abilities. I'm not too sure about the others, but I imagine their methods aren't any different."

 

"So meditating like this is a good first step. Eventually, this will become second nature to you."

Odin: "Attention, all passengers. The situation has been finally dealt with. Please refrain from accessing the upper lounge and the deck for the rest of the voyage. Security crew, please remove and lock the perpetrators immediately."

 

(They're giving the all clear. Looks like the others took care of it. I'll just wait for them here.)

 

"Consider this as your first step in your training. If you can't do this, it's going to be even harder for you to learn to fight."

 

Of course, Lilith didn't think Penelope would be able to do it on the first try given everything that has happened. After all, it wasn't so easy to clear your mind from your thoughts especially if you hadn't make it a habit of being able to do so.

 

"You can sit down if you want..."

An idea suddenly popped into her mind.

 

Penelope: Doesn't Candor have a training place? Could I go there and maybe pick up on some stuff? Or maybe even get a weapon finally?!

 

"The one I plan to meet is supposed to run the place."

 

Lilith looked over at Penelope who seemed serious about what she said. She wasn't so sure about letting someone so young be so eager about being able to fight. However, it wouldn't hurt to at least have her learn self defense.

 

"You're serious about this, right? I think it'll be a while before the ship starts moving again, so this will be a good time to try this. Calm your mind, focus on nothing but inside yourself, concentrate deeply until you can start feeling your inner energy flow through you."

 

She wasn't sure if this would work. Light, Melina and herself could use ki just fine, but she wasn't sure if someone from Penelope's world could do so as well. Even so, it was still worth a shot, if nothing else than to have her gain some discipline from it.

"There he goes again. Despite all we've been through he still hasn't learned to keep himself in one piece. Although to be honest, I'm kinda hoping this time it's permanent."

 

The sound of a photograph being taken is heard.

 

"Perfect. This one's definitely going into the portfolio."

 

"I thought you were kidding last time, but you're really serious about it."

 

"Of course, I'm a professional. Even I see the value of this type of photography."

 

LAST TIME

Penelope: I didn't think something like that could happen in real life...aren't there, like, ships or something patrolling the sky for that kind of thing? Orrrr...bounty hunters, or something? Wouldn't something like that be super obvious?! 

 

She scratched her head, groaning.

 

Penelope: Man, maybe those plane things I read about were a lot better for this kind of thing...

 

"I don't think this ship is as easy to invade as those pirates made it seem. They clearly planned this heist for a long time. They just didn't take into account that there would be strong fighters aboard."

 

Lilith paused for a moment to think.

 

"This was just really bad luck that our trip got ruined like this. Life has a way to throw things like this at us when we don't expect it. We just have to endure it and remain strong. .....a hero doesn't actually become a hero until they face a great trial, right?"

Penelope: I'm fine, buuuuut is it safe to come out? I don't hear anything anymore, but I don't want a pirate to jump out of the shadows or something!

 

"The others are taking care of the pirates. We're just waiting to make sure there's no more of them. If there's one around here, I'll make sure to take care of it"
