Chapter 24

"SAPH!"

"Oh, afternoon Jack, how you been?"

"H, how are you back!?"

"What do you mean, hOw aM I BaCk, I just did."

"Saph, how, you know what you went through should be impossible to get back from right?"

" and do you know what world we are in, IT HAS MAGIC, and how is getting from one place to another iMpOsSiBlE."

"Stop taking the piss, please, you know you've been gone for three days right… I NEED TO TELL DAD." Jack says frantically.

Jack runs off towards his room most likely getting his scroll.

"GET HER ON NOW."

{ohhhhhhh, you in troublllle.}

( T_T)

"S saph."

" I Heard now hand it over so I can talk to Dad."

"Hello, this is the one and only Saphhire speaking," she says uninterested.

Sapphire, it is really you? If so how many fingers am I holding."

"Dad, t this is not the situation you use that in."

…

"Anyway do you know how worried everyone was?"

"Not really, but I can guess."

"Verry I was told you when through a space distortion an and…"

"Don't worry Dad, you can't lose me that easily."

"G good to know, I almost dropped everything to try and get you back."

Jack" he did, I convinced him what he was doing was important and had to do it or he would have rushed here and most likely attempted to tear reality apart until he could get you back."

"Dad can do that?!"

"No, but he would have tried, honestly he most likely already tried multiple times."

"Makes sense, anyway Dad, it's good to hear you again." A small smile on Sapphire's face could be seen.

An hour later

"OK Dad I get it no going into portals and caves, and Orc's caves, or Orcs, or going by myself (even though I have no clue how that will help)"

"Good you got most of it, I'll call again in a couple of hours."

"Speak with you soon Dad."

"Make sure you keep an eye on her jack ye, can't let her disappear again."

"She won't leave my sir." (￣^￣)ゞ

"Ok bye, you two."

Jack and sapphire "bye"

Sapphire then hands over Jack's scrolls back, "So umm, what now?"

"You're gonna tell me what happened, EVERYTHING."

"But that's a lot of effort, you know"

"Saph, you do it, I want to know and need to know as your brother what you got up to."

"Fiiiiiinnnneeee."

A good amount of taking later

Jack "What do you mean your system, UpDaTeD, that can't happen!"

Sapphire "How do you know Jack, we've only been here the same amount of time."

Jack "Says the one who doesn't go to school."

Sapphire "You ain't convincing me of going to school again, I ain't going back, Never, I'm sick of education."

Jack "Says the girl, who's as dumb as a brick, and walks through spacial distortions without a care."

Sapphire "First of all, it takes one to know one, second of all how the f*ck am I meant to know I was walking through one when nothing changed until after I walked through it!"

Jack "Did you really just pull it takes one to know one card, how old are you, seven."

Sapphire "Fifteen actually"

"JACK, WHY WEREN'T YOU AT THE FOUNTAIN!"

Jack "Oh fu"

"Oh, who's the white fox?"

Jack" Nyxondra this is Saphhire, my sister."

Nyxondra" Wait you mean the sister that was meant to be gone forever? How did she get back."

Jack" She was getting to that part before you shouted the house out."

Nyxondra" Oh, oops." A small chuckle escapes her mouth.

Sapphire" Well the quick answer is I did a mission for the system and got sent through a portal."

Nyxondra "But the system can't give out missions, it just shows you stats and stuff."

Jack" It 'evolved' so it can apparently do that now."

Nyxondra" That can't happen though."

Jack" That's what I said, but according to Saph, that's wrong."

"I'm telling you that's how I got out, if you don't want to believe me then don't."

Sapphire" By the way who is this?"

Jack " Right, you two have met. Well, I guess I should introduce you two, saph, this is Nyxondra, Nyxondra this is Saph, well Sapphire but I call her Saph."

Sapphire "Another question, how the f*ck did you become friends with a dragon person Jack?"

Nyxondra" Well I let him win in an arm wrestling game we played as kids, and I accepted his wishes wanting to be a friend."

Jack "Right acid breath, not because you wanted a friend or anything."

Nyxondra " You want to test it out jack!"

Jack "No!"

Nyxondra "That's what I thought, and, sapphire, how are you not panicked that I, a dragon, walked into your house?"

Sapphire "Oh, I assumed you were a friend of Jack'son how you walked in with a key to the front door, also the fact you weren't sneaking around."

Jack " Wait you heard her walk in and said nothing!"

Sapphire" Well as I said she wasn't sneaking around and walking in causally so I guessed it was a friend of yours, and then the shout sort of helped with that."

Nyxondra" You heard me walk through the door? You have some good hearing."

Nyxondra " Also you, have way too much trust for your brother… are you what Jack calls a Bro-con?"

Sapphire "The f*ck that?!"

Nyxondra " like a sis-con but for their brother? I only really know it from Jack."

Sapphire turns her head slowly towards Jack" You are a bad influence on people."

"Says you."

Sapphire " I have no clue what you're talking about."

Sapphire" By the way, why is your dragon friend here?"

Jack" Well, I was meant to meet up with others today but I forgot about the meetup ."

Nyxondra" I can understand why you did, so I can let it slide this time, but because I am such a good person, your sister coming too."

Sapphire " Why !?"

"Because I said so, and because I'm the strongest out of us three."

"Oh really."

"SAPPH DON'T."

Nyxondra " Sapphire yes!"

Jack "No, we can't do that here, are house can't reconstruct itself like yours Nyxondra."

Nyxondra makes sad dragon noises.

Sapphire" She's that destructive?"

Jack "Yes, also I can't be asked to call Dad to get us a mage to repair the house again after the last time she tried training here."

Sapphire "Wait what happened?"

Jack "Oh, she only used her breath and dissolved half the garden and a portion of the house after an unknown anoint of time as me and dad were out."

Nyxondra" Ha, good times, also sapphire, nice pyjamas, the colour suits you :) ."

Sapphire "No."

Jack "See Saph, I told you the colour pink suits you."

Sapphire" Well, it's time for me to do what I planned on doing before I bumped into you, Jack, get a good nap in see you two at some point."

Nyxondra" na ah." As she puts her hands on sapphire shoulder.

"Sapphire" What do you mean, na uh."

{sapphire it seems you have had plenty of time to do what you needed and talk with Jack.}

Sapphire" What do you mean?"

Nyxondra" Is your sister good or is her talking to herself normal?"

Jack" Not to my knowledge."

{so I am going to be taking you to the secret surprise I had for you, by teleporting you there now, have a good trip and always keep your food inside while teleporting.}

Sapphire" What do you mean telap."

Sapphire suddenly disappears with a pop sound.

Nyxondra and jack "….."

Nyxondra" I didn't do anything time I promise."

Jack" Fuuuuuu"

Meanwhile with sapphire

Sapphire is throwing up one more time.

Sapphire" Why, why does your sh*t make me throw up so much."

{oh don't worry, a couple more and you'll be a pro with it. Tap tap＼(^-^ ) }

{oh for a great view you should turn around.}

With that sapphire turns around to see an extremely well-look-after-glass window with the only way to know it is a glass window is the dark metal surrounding it and that it is looking into outer space directly at a planet below in all its planet glory.

"Oh wow, that's actually pretty cool."

{and that's just the view, wait until you see the rest.}

Sapphire turns around once more and gazes upon a technology base that at the moment is not running but is still very impressive and spacious with multiple doors and corridors leading into different and unexplored areas.

{Right Sapphire, to power this bad girl up you will need to place and power up the argent generator, and to do that say/think base layout, select add building and select the argent generator.}

Sapphire " Ok? Base layout."

When Sapphire thinks this, a holographic map of the base shows up, and the first thing she sees is that the entire base is literally just this room with a plus symbol on multiple areas and a picture to the side of some sort of futuristic electric generator with the name argent generator (it looks similar to the reactor room for base/dojo building in war frame) and so she selects the only thing available and picks the far left plus that's outside the far left door.

{are you sure you want to place this here, You can remove and transport it somewhere left at a later date if you have enough money. Y/n}

Sapphire clicks the y and a sudden but large amount of shaking happens as the generator is added to the new base, the shaking lasts for around 10 seconds before dying down and 2 seconds later a robotic voice is heard saying;

"Welcome Slayer to your very own fortress of doom, this is an unfinished version of the fortress of doom so like the Slayer them selfs you will need to build it from scratch."

As the robotic voice says this, the fortress of doom starts to light up and come to life.

The colours of the light around the main room of the base and console are the classic slayer green that brings the room together, the console lights jg up also shows sole statistic about the planet they are floating above.

Demon invasion progress 0%

Demonic energy detected 5%

Demon lifeforms detected 0 %

Natural lifeform eliminated by demons 0%

Planet name earth

Universe 3245

De-stress calls demon related 0

Annomolys detected 2

Annomolys mana, dungeons

Portal offline

Error radio not found, unable to pick up music station.

Backup music will be played doom 1993 hanger theme

Sapphire stopped looking at the console screen and decided to walk into the generator room to see just it looked like.

As the doors slide open the slayer green room has a sudden flash or deep red light that fades slightly and starts to clash with the green light. Sapphire sees a large room with two floors the one she is standing just before and one below, gets to the lower floor there seems to be a small lift/elevator to the right side of the room. The floor has three semi-circles that allow you to move around the generator in the centre, the generator has reached d lightning going through it.

The walls and floors are made up of dark and silver metal.

There seems to be some sort of console within one of the semi-circles next to a spinning chair, and to the far left there is a half gate that leads to a small walkway that allows you to get closer to the generator, most likely to do any maintenance.

Sapphire" This place is way bigger than I thought, It feels like you could fit a decent-sized house in here."

{impressive right, with this installed you will never need to worry about energy for your base ever again, as this released enough power for like 2 mega cities or something stupid like that.}

Sapphire " the f*ck! really, for this small base?"

{well right now, ye it's a bit over the top but later down the line, you will need that amount of energy to keep all the sci-fi stuff like spaceships, robots and all your armour powers and also for all the rooms to function correctly so, you know you're not suffocated in them and to make sure they don't float away.}

"Oh alright, then I'll take your work for it."

{ding, congratulations, you are the first slayer of your universe and are now the protector of said universe from demonic threats and invasion, thankfully because you are now officially a true slayer demonic attacks on the said universe will now be harder.

The reason is when a slayer is assigned a universe to protect they produce a shield to stop most to all demon kings to demon lords from invading said universe but smaller and weaker demons are most likely to be able to slip past the shield and cause a problem.}( image the barrier/net from yu yu Takashi but just green and invisible.)

{oh right, I forgot about that, anyway ye so slayers are actually really rare and sought after by a lot of gods when a demon invasion is happening so you will most likely at some point be called to help out with that when you are stronger. But in the meantime, you can do special missions from tokens or assignments for the system or console within your base to help get stronger.}

Sapphire" Well guess that's something, but what about my SLEEP! And how am I meant to explain this to Jack and Dad without them panicking about it all?"

{hey, that's a you problem, not a me problem, you figure that one out.}

Sapphire "Great, oh by the way, how do I get more rooms, do I buy them from the store or are they rewards? And how do I get back home?!"

{right, that's all-important isn't it, to your first question yes you can either buy them with gold or get them as rewards also if you have the materials to build the rooms beforehand it will make them cheaper to buy, for your second question you will allege to active the portal from the master console in the centre of the main room.}

{oh and before you ask, you can only set it to your own planet at this point in time, so you don't need to worry about going to the wrong planet or anything like that, you will be able to go to the planet below your base when you are a bit stronger, but at this point in time your body won't be able to adapt to the different mana type there.}

Sapphire "You're going to have to explain what that means sooner or later."

{I will sooner or later, anyway get the portal set up, I thought you wanted to sleep.}

Sapphire " Ye ye on it."

Sapher goes to the main console and selects the pistol function, enabling the portal, and selecting the only scalable planet with it saying last known location underneath it.

Sapphire clicks confirm and then the room starts to shift as large circles come out of the ground, forming two circles that enclose one another and green energy starts building up, before being shot out and into the centre of the two circles and making a green portal.

Sapphire "Can in Chang et he portal colour, I prefer the colour purple more than the green?"

{no.}

Sapphire "Why not?"

{because I said so no go through it, this takes up quite a lot of energy to do.}

Sapphire grumbles to herself and steps through the green portal.

When Sapphire exits the green portal Jack and Nyxondra are staring at the portal, Jack with his duel swords and Nyxondra ready to throw hands, until Sapphire steps through then, Jack drops his swords and rugby tackles Sapphire while Nyxondra looks slightly disappointed that it was sapphire that came through.

Jack" Thank f*ck your back, I don't know what I would've done if you didn't."

Sapphire "Ye ye, that's great and all but, I'm not really a fan of hugs so can you let go of me."

Jack "In a minute."

Mini story

Skannon's pov

Shannon" Fera, what have you found out about this base?"

Fera "Well this one is larger than the other ones we raided within the last 3 days, and most likely has more experience going on. The good thing about a larger base though is that there is a change for it to have more information on what pestilence is and was trying to do/create with your daughter."

Fera "from what I can tell it have 6 floors the last one being the most secure and with the most dolls within it, it's unknown if any of the test subjects are actually alive or not so it's best if we stealth it first and go that for as long as possible and then strike when we can."

Shannon "OK so you and Squad Two go and I'll watch through the back door you put within the camera systems for information, Squad 1 be ready to charge on my signal.

….

Fera and Squad 2

After getting to the final floor Fera and Squad 2 can come across the computer with some info action on them the information they can quickly gather before searching to see if the two St subjects are alive involves inflation about project H.K being renamed to project S.M, H.K standing for... Hero Killer and some basic information about the project that states that project H.K. was to make something to be able to civil the hero and surpass it, and make them the new demon king of this world.

After reading through it they copy all the data onto their scrolls and proceed to look for the subjects, but what they find are just living corpses surrounded by torture tools, needles and mangled bodies, as it seems like none of them was able to get past the healing factor stage of the process and instead become defigured instead, as their bones seems to have developed Rickets, while also having malnourished body's, that are recolours from monster meat poisoning and vacant eyes, the only option is to Marcy kill all the subjects and hope they have a better next life.

———————————————————-

Hello everyone hope you enjoyed this chapter, sorry for the little action but I felt it was necessary for this chapter for information and for the flow of the story, hopefully, it makes sense and actually flows well.

Hope you have a great day/night and if you have any suggestions to improve or enhance the story or Evian a plot longline for me to use I would appreciate it, thank you. ( ^ω^ )
