Settling Scores

[Overdramatic Fool: It's alright Hunter-san, All of this is rather shocking after all. I am sorry about all of the trouble I have caused you. I was being rather petty.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: I hope to get to know you now that you are on board!]

[Grade A Bottom: We will rally as fellow victims. Over throw the royalty and the oppression they bring!]

[Overdramatic Fool: I really am sorry Izumi-san, You don't need to over throw me. My tyranny is over.]

[NTR Victim: I'm good with how things are now. Got no plans on being buddy buddy with you.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Another member? It's nice to meet you Hunter-san. I would be shocked too if I did not get a literal devil fruit.]

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: I'm sorry but who are you people? Did this chat group change members so quickly?]

I took that message in for a moment. Pyrrha has been ignoring the Chat Group for a rather long time. So she had not been informed about the name changes that have been going on. She had been ignoring the message before Rias did her first name change.

I could gaslight her into believing that everyone is completely different. It would certainly take away the bite from my actions against her. I dropped the idea as it was a stupid one.

There was no way that Rias and Izumi would stand by as I gaslit Pyrrha. That was just not in their character to find such things amusing. Ashley would play along for the shits and giggles and I could certainly bribe Argo. Still, those lies would crumble eventually and it really was not worth the effort to do so.

[Overdramatic Fool: There is an option to change your user name with a new random one. It costs 100 points. You can find it in the store. I am the Prince guy, Grade A is Feminine, Best is Power, and Victim is Bro-con. Coin-san is a new member so you have not met them yet.]

[Overdramatic Fool: Once again I am sorry for what I have inflicted upon you. Is there any way I could make it up to you.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: I am tired of these stupid Usernames! Just call me Rias.]

[Grade A Bottom: Oh, you can call me Izumi! The shackles that bind us can not hold us down!]

[NTR Victim: Don't really care what you call me but since Bro-con is no longer relevant. You can call me Ashley or bad bitch number 1 if you are feeling feisty.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Feels a little early for you guys to call me by my real name so Argo is fine for now.]

[NTR Victim: Excuse me bitch? You won't tell me your name after everything we have been through?]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: I wasn't really talking about you two. Just generalizing the situation.]

[NTR Victim: You better send me your name! Or you're going on my shit list!]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Like I am not already on it! But fine. You are a buddy of mine after all.]

[Overdramatic Fool: I have also known you for two years Argo-san. Not that I really care if you tell me but it would be nice to know.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Still a little mad at you Prince-san but I will tell you eventually.]

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: This is a lot to take in…]

We did kind of go off of a tangent for a long while. We finally have a proper introduction to each other. I mean I have not thrown my cap in just yet but my last name was literally Prince. It also felt rather odd to be referred as Severus after so many years of Ashley whispering Prince affectionately.

I was surprised that Argo did not tell Ashley her real name already. They seemed rather close after all. I suppose the notion that you should not tell people in a game your real name was rather important to Argo. I kind of wanted to know her name as well but it really was not that important.

I might have to actually worry about Izumi starting up a rebellion. It is coming off as more of a joke right now but if you say certain things over and over again they start to sound more serious. I don't really have a big fear of his retribution but I was trying to keep the slate clean between us.

I might have to make a bigger gesture to get him to forgive me. Not to mention the actions I was going to have to take to get Pyrrha to forgive me. I did not think that my simple apology was going to have her forgive me. In her earlier messages, she did seem rather distressed.

So I was going to have to do something big to get her to let go of that grudge. Even if she was being rather annoying with her constant death threats. It was a step too far to sick Fortuna on her.

I felt Fortuna's emotions scream offended at the prospect. I was comparing her attention to a rather terrible punishment after all. I mean it was but it was still rude to bring it up constantly. I could only assure the goddess in my chest that nothing in the world could replace her. She was my greatest creation and the only thing that I could really hold dear.

It was rather crappy but I did rank Fortuna higher in my heart in comparison to Ashley but those situations were rather different. I loved Fortuna like a daughter as she was my creation. I think the passion-filled nights between Ashley and I could prove I certainly did not think of her as family.

Even if she was technically treating me as such. Then again the name that the group assigned her no longer fit. So she was treating me more like a hentai protagonist who stole the girl. Which was not really all that better but beggars can't be choosers.

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: I might have been overreacting to things….So there is no need for apologies…Everything is perfectly fine Prince.]

I got the distinct impression that things were not in fact fine. I could not see her but I could certainly picture the polite fake smile that she was wearing right now. I let out a sigh as I did not want to have a poor relationship with her.

I was just going to have to work harder at gaining her forgiveness. It did not matter in the long haul as having a great relationship with everyone was not really needed. I just wanted to at least try to mend bridges. 

If only because I did admire the girl that she was. Another person who would fight until the bitter end. Someone who was willing to put their life on the line for what they believed in. She was a match that blazed so vividly in front of me. It was such a shame that she was taken away so quickly, that should no longer be an issue but it did happen in another time and place.

Since she has come back to the Chat Group knowing Magic was in fact real she might have already been placed in Ozpin's camp. An anti-magic badass who held ties to a supposed Dimensional Chat Group made a good target. I was sure that Ozpin was ecstatic at getting a shot at finally taking out his ex wife. Even if that excitement was tied to some rather bitter feelings for the guy.

He did once love that woman after all. They had a beautiful family and that was all taken away by the whims of the gods. He had to serve the whims of those creatures to ensure that humanity could continue. He most likely wanted his millennium long mission to be finally over as well. So he could take the final rest and die with a smile on his face.

I could offer my services to quell the hurt that I have inflicted. I may not be the greatest thing since sliced bread but I could offer their death world some much needed change. I was not sure what I could do to kill the big bad evil in her world. The immortal witch was immortal for a reason. The only way to kill her is for the gods to do so.

Magic defied those restrictions. Nothing could contain it if used with enough creativity. The problem is that a wizard had been trying for literally a millennia to kill that woman. Ozpin was not any where close to finishing her off.

I could not even unravel the spell that was cast on her with my eyes. The curse that was inflicted on her was definitely divine level after all. I was sure that there would be a solution to the problem but I just could not think of one at the moment.

Did I really need to kill her to have Pyrrha forgive me? Surely the cost of that was well beyond what I had inflicted on her. This was the lives of everyone on her planet after all. The cause of all the woes in her world.

[Overdramatic Fool: I still feel bad about it Hunter-san. Surely there is something I can do for you. You know how effective I can be given a target. There has to be someone you want to have experience a fate worse than what I inflicted on you.]

There a nice offer to move forward to forgiveness. I may not be able to kill Salem right now but I could certainly ruin her day completely and utterly. Hell, if Fortuna pulled the big guns out then Salem would have a lot of her plans foiled. It would probably lead to a massive increase in survivability in her world.

Salem was not really the greatest evil in her world. It was the brother gods. Everything that was happening currently in Remnant could be placed at their feet. I was not sure if Fortuna could mess with the gods themselves. I did not really want to take a risk like that. Not with something that was so precious.

If I did start messing with them they might throw a hissy fit and destroy Renmant. So leaving them alone was in everyone's best interest. Gods can be the pettiest and most childish of beings after all.

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: You're offering hits now? You threatened me pretty badly Prince-san. If you inflicted that punishment on someone for me you will have my forgiveness!]

[Grade A Bottom: It's not me right? right!? RIGHT!!?]

[NTR Victim: Conflicted. I want my parents to suffer but it would be better if it was by my own hands. Decisions decisions.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: I am not sure what they are worrying about but if you are taking hits out can you fuck up Kayaba.]

[Overdramatic Fool: Already stole Kayaba's luck. I imagine he is six feet under after drowning in his own piss by this point.]

[NTR Victim: Metal as fuck.]

[Grade A Bottom: Scary.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: That is nice to hear even if the implications are terrifying.]

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: They really are terrifying. I don't think any one person deserves that punishment but I will keep the offer in mind.]

That was interesting. She apparently did not know anything about Salem just yet. I suppose that made sense, Ozpin tended to keep his cards close to his chest. So seeing her out of the loop made a certain amount of sense.

Whatever her decision was I could think about it later as a certain someone decided to finally show themselves.
