The other humans present couldn't believe what they were hearing. A human siding with a monster they had no past experience with, and what's more, that beast accepting them. It was almost unheard of, as the orcs had been living nearby for many years, yet Aaron just walked in unannounced and took someone away from them. "I'm Aaron, and you've just become a citizen of the Kingdom for Monsters. Come, we have a lot to discuss." Aaron said to Jude as Aaron grabbed him by the waist and jumped out of the bunker as Seph, None, and Sciat quickly followed suit.
The other humans, and the orcs, were left dumbfounded. It was almost as if they were betrayed by one of their kind for a random monster's group. It wasn't right, at least in their minds. However, now that Aaron was gone, they could start fixing up their base and exploring. There was only one good thing that came from Aaron in their minds, and that was the death of the Basilisk, which now allowed them to leave the city.
"So, uh, Aaron, where are we going?" Jude asked as Aaron put him down. "Well, we were planning on visiting the werewolves next if you wanted to join us, although I do want to go and pick up some friends who were left back home," Aaron explained as Jude simply nodded his head. "That's fine with me, but why would you let me go along with you and not choose anyone else along with me?" Jude asked as Sciat brought in his opinion. "Well, you were the only one there who actually decided to go up to Aaron to join him. You were the bravest one there to face the ire of your friends and, possibly, family. You were the only one worth taking." Sciat explained, causing Aaron to chuckle slightly.
"Couldn't have said it better myself, Sciat. Jude, he's absolutely right, although I will need to introduce myself properly later on for you. I'll help you get to know everybody in our little group, and I'll even teach you some unique tricks that I've learned. Although, I'm pretty sure you know who the Hero is, right?" Aaron explained, asking Jude a pretty obvious question. "Of course I do! Everyone on this planet knows who Steven is! Nobody knows his last name, though." Jude responded as Aaron turned around, turning Jude around by his shoulders. "Meet him, the Hero!" Aaron exclaimed, scaring the shit out of Seph.
"Wait a second...that's him?!" Jude yelled out in surprise, not realising that it was Seph, The Hero. This was because None was covering half of his body. "Heya." Seph simply replied, as Jude just looked at him in shock. "I never thought you'd side with monsters, Hero. Doesn't the church really hate monsters, and I mean REALLY hate them?" Jude asked as None replied for Seph. He didn't want Seph to have to deal with this uncomfortable situation.
"I'm the monster that possesses him. None is my name unless you want to pronounce some numbers. He was the perfect host for my body, although soon enough, we'll be separated once again. Although it's fun being tied to him, it certainly does cause some uncomfortable moments when people realise what's happened to him." None explained as Seph sighed, thankful that he didn't have to describe such an awkward situation by himself. "Oh, that's interesting, although I am pretty confused by it. I won't question it, though, as I'm willing to bet that Aaron can tell me things thousands of times more confusing, right?" Jude anticipated, and everyone immediately realised that Jude knew what he was getting into by travelling with Aaron.
"Well, aren't you prepared? Yes, I'm going to blow your mind more times than you'd be able to count, so be prepared for some absolutely unexplainable stuff to happen, alright?" Aaron warned Jude, and Jude simply nodded in return, ready for some stupid things to happen. After all, even though Aaron might not understand them, someone out there does. It's just a matter of finding someone more intelligent than you to help you learn.
"So, are you all ready to teleport back home to pick up the others?" Aaron asked, and everything there gave a nod of approval, causing Aaron to lift his hand into the air and snap his fingers for dramatic effect. This teleported them all back to their city, right beside Crystet and Clair, who was currently in control of the body. "Ah, Crystet, how good to see you again!" Aaron exclaimed, scaring the hell out of Crystet. "Aaron! Where have you been! You were here, and then you weren't..." Crystet began before looking over towards Jude with a confused expression. "Uh, Aaron? Who is the human? I thought we were waiting until the tournament to accept competitors?" Crystet asked Aaron, who just chuckled in response.
"Well, we tried to get more inhabitants for the city in the form of this world's orcs, which are hairy and look like humanoid boars, but only one person joined us. A human living alongside said orcs, who had the bravery to join us, despite the hate he'd probably get for doing such a thing. Crystet, meet Jude, the human who I plan to teach some new tricks." Aaron explained, introducing Jude to Crystet. "Hi, I'm Jude, and it is a pleasure to meet you, Crystet. I do hope we can be on good terms." Jude spoke, bowing down slightly as a sign of respect.
"Well, now that I know who you are and why you were chosen, I'm pretty sure we can be friends. After all, Aaron and I have literally killed each other before, so if we're friends now, anything is possible for me and you, Jude." Crystet responded before turning to face Aaron. "Now, what do you plan on teaching him? I don't really know if you have any skills that wouldn't be too overpowered for him."
"Well, I had an idea. Why don't we give Jude a Token for an Ultimate Skill and see what happens? After all, I can give you all one if you want. A skill that you could show off and call your own."
If you're reading this, leave any ideas for an ultimate skill in the comments! I'll use them if you want lmao.
