""Walking through the living room section of Kazu's upstairs home in his brand new bar, Zeke stopped to see Jaxine playing some video game. She had about seven empty energy drink cans at her feet. Zeke shook his head. "You've been up all night on that thing, haven't you? You could of been training."
Jaxine shushed him instantly. "It's Tom Clampton's Battleground Call Of Honor Dark Seven. Best shooter ever but this F**K HEAD in the stupid TOP HAT keeps KILLING me! Just... runs around the map with a rusty railroad spike and- MOTHERF**KER! How was he there!? That's bullshit, he dies more than he kills! He's just being a prick- WHAT!? WHERE DID HE GET THAT ROCKET LAUNCHER!?" she took a couple deep breaths and focused. "Alright, I'm going to- WH-HOW!? I JUST CAME BACK!" she roared, jumping up and rifling the controller at the TV. "F**k this game." she said, walking over to her room. with plans to sleep for then next seventeen hours.
Zeke simply stood there wide eyed after the ordeal. He walked over, un-plugged the contraption as he had no idea how it worked, and continued on his way to the basement.
----------------------------------
"Alright Ezekiel, you now have a set of Heavy Training Weights, this Gravity Chamber taking you up to 100 times Earth's gravity, and now this upgraded Simulator 2.0 that was developed by... erm... that one guy on Omega." Dr. Walters stated, grinding his teeth at the thought of the other scientist. "Him and his damned Androids and his damned obsession with that damn jump-and-shoot-man video game..."
"I... don't think that's what the game was called." Zeke said, stretching out his arms and back as Walters spoke.
"Fine smartass, what was it called?" he asked Zeke.
Zeke telekineticly set the chamber to 35x ENG and dropped to the ground. He caught himself and began doing some pushups. "I... dunno? Ultra Man or Mega... who cares. Go ask Jaxine, she has all thirty-six of those damned games."
"Apparently you cared enough to correct me." Walters pointed out.
Zeke smiled. He was just being a pain. "How are you standing there like fifteen times gravity is nothing to you? Don't go giving me a bullcrap excuse like Kazu did." he asked.
Walters smiled. "Well, that is simple. I have this Gravity-Belt I created. I can set it just like a gravity chamber, and it works in reverse to allow levitation or to reverse the effects of a gravity chamber. You set it to fifteen times, I simply set my Belt to negative thirty-four!"
Zeke rolled over and sat up, looking at Walters and his big smart-ass grin. "I could just rip that off you and crush it..."
Walters grin got bigger. "Oh!? So you'd like to rip my belt off, Ezekiel!? Oh my, I would have never guessed!" He yelled out loud, bursting into laughter. Zeke realized what he'd said and jumped up.
"That is NOT what I meant at all!" he roared, throwing a punch. Walters dodged the punch and laughed.
"I am faster than you due to the gravity! You will never catch-"
A blast of energy from an outstreached hand blew Walters out of the gravity chamber and directly into the passing Jaxine who had decided not to sleep after all and came to see what was up. He slammed into her and both of them hit the far wall. Coming too, Walters was on top of Jaxine, face first in her breasts.
"I must say.. I am rather pleased with the outcome of this situation." he said in a muffled voice. Then there was a roar and another blast. Zeke closed the door hearing something collide with it at the last moment.
Zeke shook his head. Shenannigens, he thought. He picked up a pair of wrap around glasses. They looked like fancy safety glasses, but were blacked out completely. The simulator fired up not just on the surrounding room, but through the glasses as well. Zeke stood in the center of the room where a large round section of the floor was black. Somehow during the entirety of the simulation, his body would remain within the circle at all times.
Simulator 2.0 Loading... ... Processing Update Data... ... Complete. Loading preset world.
-------------------------------------------
Zeke was spawned into the world instantly. Zeke blinked twice, looking down at his hands. He had made some changes to his avitar, making it look more like himself. He gave himself a long black coat with no sleves. It was double breasted and halfway open. Good thing, he could feel the heat from the overhead sun. This was similar to the world Jaxine had built that Zeke had been trapping hackers in, like Weiss. This time however he was online among actual players.
He had a pair of blue jeans on as well. He figured his Avitar now looked like a younger version of him. He walked out onto a street full of people in all kinds of crazy getups. Armor and robes, dresses and some bearly wore anything... true for both women and men. Disturbed with some of the sights, Zeke had no idea what was going on.
Zeke approached a man at a stand. He looked up. "Sup? Wana buy a knife?"
Zeke raised an eyebrow. "No." he said. "I want to know where the hell I am." he stated. He wanted to be in Jaxine's town, boringly named "Jaxtown".
The man chuckled. "Uuuh... Beginner Town? Duh? You're Level 87, you of all people should know that. I'm suprised you arren't on your way to the Seventh Town by now."
Zeke crossed his arms. "I have no idea what any of that nonsense means." he told the merchant.
The man laughed at Zeke, thinking he was joking. Then he realised... he was serious. He then jumped up. "oooh your one of those Simulator Training dudes, right? Makes sense. You're in an Online Game, dude."
The next ten minuets were an earfull of stuff about the game. Apparently players were wearing headsets to enter this game. Simulator users with the 2.0 system could as well, only they were actually able to feel pain. On the bright side, they carried all their real life techniques into the game and their level was based off their power level. 1,000 PL would be Level 1 and so on. Transformations increase your level. The last three digits of your PL were your Experience, or XP points, nine hundred and ninety nine each untill next level. Then he spoke of money, weapons and armor, quests, and a bunch of other crap. Zeke eventually had enough and left the man there.
He needed to actually train. He went out and walked the streets, through the plains, and ended up six towns over. He did end up killing some animals, fighting ransom people on the way, and chasing down a theif and took him out in a single blow. Turns out he was just level thirty-two. He did get some money for the good deed though. From there he spotted a pub on a wharf. He walked in where there were people playing music on stage. Guitar, acordian, drums... wait, that looked like King Tsuyo on the acordian...
He noted a man in a green bandanna sitting at a table with a big line of people in front of him. He payed it no mind until the man at thr front of the line began yelling. "Not what you're looking for!? I'm the best this damn place!" He stated, clearly drunk. Great, you can get drunk in-game.
The man at the table stood up. He was a young man, average height and build, brown hair sticking out from under his bandanna wich was long in the back from where it was tied. Two elf-like ears poked out from his hair and Zeke noted his red snake-like eyes. Creepy as hell. He had on a navy blue buttoned shirt with a belt across his chest and the sleves rolled up to show off his arms and a good look at the fingerless gloves he wore. He had a pair of baggy tan slacks on as well with brown belts over the legs and waist, a Katana held to the back of those belts rather than to the side. He smiled at the man, showing his fangs and threw out a large black boot into the man's chest. Half the line was knocked over as well.
"Clearly... not. " The man stated. He jumped up ontop of the table andd threw his arms out to the sides. "Is there ANYONE here that doesn't suck!?" he challenged.
Out of nowhere Zeke tackled the man and slammed him to the floor. He just had to, he was standing on a table being a jerk, after all. Zeke jumped up and grabbed onto the man's shirt, giving him an overhand throw into a table. A pile of splinters and dust shot up as Zeke turned his back and dusted off his ahnds. "I don't suck." Zeke stated, giving his knuckles a chrack.
Before he could take a single step, a chair slammed into his back and shattered into chunks of wood. Zeke stumbled forward from the impact just before his attacker ran up behind him and jumped, planting a hand behind Zeke's head shoved him face first into the ground as the man landed on one knee. The floorboards cracked as the crowd "oooh"ed.
"Ha! Yes you do, buddy. You suck alo-"
Zeke jumped back up and launched forward with a clothesline as the man turned to taunt Zeke further. The man ducked, turned around and grabbed Zeke's tail. Zeke stopped up...
The man stood there with a dumbass grin on his face. "I... Got... your... TAIL!" the guy said.
Zeke whipped around. "And I got your FACE!" he roared, slamming the palm of his hand into the other man's face, picking him up under muffled screams and threw him over the bar. The man jumped back up almost completely unharmed and was already drinking a forty-ounce of rum.
He downed it in a couple gulps then tossed the bottle at Zeke. He managed to dodge it and then got hit by the fire ball... wait, fire ball? He looked at his flaming coat and patted it out quickly before looking up. The man threw another fall of flame at Zeke. This time he dodged it, returning a blast of Ki. The firefight ensued as people freaked out and went as far as to bust out windows to escape.
Next thing Zeke knew, the Pub was half leveled and on fire, and the other man had another bottle of rum. He threw it over his shoulder, hitting some dude as he drew his Katana.
"Say hello to my not-so little friend." he stated.
Zeke pulled Muramasa free in his left hand like a flash of lightning. The two were locked in a stare-off and began to circle...
With a flash, the two would collide in a clash so fierce that the rest of the bar was wiped out just by the impact. The two went into a flurry of slashes that looked to bystanders like a light show of flashes from their blades. The demon-elf looking guy seemed to have an aura of flame, and according to his fighting style he too was running off of a simulator and not off a game device. The man knew what he was doing. Zeke locked blades with the man and shoved him back, blasting him point blank with an energy wave that threw him down into a windmill. Wood splintered out in all directions as the crash of wood echoed.
The wreck engulfed in flame as the man hit full power and blasted back out, causing Zeke to hit Overdrive and block his next slash. Zeke swung but the man ducked, throwing out a stab. Zeke vanished and re-appeared with a punch to the back of the man's head. He cartwheeled through the air but regained his stance to retaliate with a fireball. Zeke deflected it and swooped in for another slash. The man ducked and rose back up with a gun in his other hand. Before Zeke was able to even comprehend what it was, the man fired the Blunderbuss at point blank range and put Zeke through a church.
Zeke blasted off out of it as the man jammed some kind of ammunition into the gun and locked it shut. A single shot. Zeke brought with him all the shards of glass that had used to be the stained glass windows in the church and fired them all off using telekinesis. The man's eyes widened and he spun his blade round to block them before he raised the cannon again. He fired but Zeke blocked it easily with the Aegis shield.
"You shouldn't rely on junk." Zeke said.
The man shook his head, casually reloading. "Yeah." the guy said, pointing another at the shield and firing. There was a loud pop and a bright flash of blinding light. About the time Zeke's ears began to ring was when he was grabbed and thrown pretty far. He crashed through something and took a few moments to re-cooperate. His vision returning, he found himself surrounded with chickens, a broken egg smeared across his coat. He cursed. "Goddamnit! That will never come out!" Zeke stood up slowly under the gravity and blasted off into the sky looking for the man, his energy sending the stupid birds scattering in a stupid frenzy.
Zeke looked around but the man was gone. He scanned the area... and after a moment he picked up on the man's location at the docks. Zeke moved in as the man landed aboard a ship, slamming down and crushing a good portion of the deck as he faced the man. "We aren't done." Zeke said. The man smiled and put his hands out in an I-don't-know pose as around Zeke several other players were gathered, drawing swords and chambering rounds in guns.
"Yeah, I dunno." he said. Was Zeke screwed? Zeke growled and threw his hands down to his sides as he let out a blast of energy around him with a massive amount of explosive energy. When the smoke cleared, most of the other platers were on the ground and incompasitated, the ship was half wrecked, and the center mast fell over on fire behind Zeke as he stared down the other guy. The Demon had been the only one to withstand the blast.
He crossed his arms. "Alright." he said. "Want a job?"
((Part 1 Fin. PL please, weights and x35 grav in effect))
Jaxine shushed him instantly. "It's Tom Clampton's Battleground Call Of Honor Dark Seven. Best shooter ever but this F**K HEAD in the stupid TOP HAT keeps KILLING me! Just... runs around the map with a rusty railroad spike and- MOTHERF**KER! How was he there!? That's bullshit, he dies more than he kills! He's just being a prick- WHAT!? WHERE DID HE GET THAT ROCKET LAUNCHER!?" she took a couple deep breaths and focused. "Alright, I'm going to- WH-HOW!? I JUST CAME BACK!" she roared, jumping up and rifling the controller at the TV. "F**k this game." she said, walking over to her room. with plans to sleep for then next seventeen hours.
Zeke simply stood there wide eyed after the ordeal. He walked over, un-plugged the contraption as he had no idea how it worked, and continued on his way to the basement.
