Return of a friend(IoxTsumiki Acchi Kocchi)

Gaming World, Part 1!

Hey, guys! Sorry for the emotional confession that I made. I was really gonna tell you what is the reason of my long absence. Please bear with me as I try to finish the Gaming World series! So now, here it is! The 1st part of the series. Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group walked for several hours and they're getting tired. Mayoi fainted and Sakaki decided to carry her on his back. Tsumiki plops to Io's head for she too, is tired. Hime wobbles forwards as she walks, worrying Ultima. He takes her hand, asking her if she is ok. Hime just had a weary smile teeling him that she was fine.

Ultima pondered for a moment then stops. Hime asks if he is ok. He then holds her arms and with some strength, he tosses her in the air. She screams as she was in the air for a few seconds but stopped when she felt warm on her legs. She looks down and sees Ultima carrying her as if she is the lookout, which she is. Ultima said "Might as well have a lookout than walking at this desert for hours". Hime blushes as she looks for shelter.

After several hours of finding something to stay, they found a castle with soldiers nearby. The group ran as fast as they can, the boys carrying the girls as much as they could. But as they reach the castle, Ultima's eyes widened. He commanded "Get down!". They got down at an instant and Ultima readied his dark arm. He snatches the ballista spear and sends it at the opposite direction. They waited for a few seconds before a fire arrow volley is seen. Ultima uses his good arm and summons a Gaster Blaster to destroy the volley. There were shouts of anger and dissapointment as Ultima lowers his arm.

Ultima sighs "Guess they can't let us pass through here, might as well give him a chance...". The others were confused as Ultima said that. Ultima holds a stance while chanting a spell. Then, a raid of soldiers came towards them, weapons at their hands. Everyone got up and readied themselves when Ultima almost finishes the spell.

"Darkness, I command thee to become my weapon"

He raises his dark arm and it begins to glow. Then, a shortsword materialize above his hand and grabs it. It has a dark hilt but the blade has a shiny glow. Ultima then readies a stance for a few seconds. He then lunges towards the army of soldiers saying "Sonic Slash". He phases through the soldiers, slicing and dicing around like a blur.

The group were surprised by his speed and power. But Tsumiki heard a whoosh from behind and looks around. She then sees multiple fireballs coming towards them. She raises her hands in front of her and shouts "Barrier!". She managed to block some of the fireballs but got hit by one. Hime sees this and casts a spell. Everyone in the group counters the remaining fireballs with their weapons and spells. Lucaria fires a volley of fireballs and it collided to the threat, exploding it in the process.

Io rushes to Tsumiki's side and asks "Tsumiki! Are you alright?". Tsumiki winces at the pain but says "I'm fine...". Io quickly carries her, bridal style. Tsumiki blushes at this and tries to hide it. Io rushes to Hime and asks if she could watch over Tsumiki. Hime nods and she continues supporting the team. Tsumiki notices Io rushes to Ultima with daggers at both hands.

Io asks Ultima as he stands beside him "Need some help?". Ultima smiles and said "Yeah, but we need more than you". He then whistles and Sans and Undyne appears. Io is confused and asks "How did they enter here anyway?". Sans smirks and Undyne whistles. Io then looks at Ultima who is smiling bitterly. He said "They got in the gaming world in their whole body. As if they materialize here". Ultima readies his sword, Io stances, Undyne materializes her spears, and Sans summons about half of his arsenal. Ultima then snaps his fingers and everything went white. After a few seconds, the whiteness disappears and the four were standing there, around unconscious soldiers.

While the four of them rush to the others, Edna tries to fire another volley when she gets hit by 2 fires at both front and back. She screams in pain as she fell down to the ground. Lucaria sees this and rushes to her. Ultima looks at him when he noticed a fireball hurling towards him. He flashes through the group and when he got to Lucaria, his blades form a circle which acted as a shield. It reflects the projectile to the direction it started. Then they heard a shriek. They silenced and waits until the fog(A/N: All intense anime fights have a fog, in my opinion.) disappear. Then they see a silhouette. They notice that it is a girl's silhouette and it is moving forward. When it became visible, Ultima widened his eyes. His mouth only speaks one name.

"Esle?!"

Welp, that is a long delay for a 9 paragraph story. I am busy with school which is hell for me. And I'm kinda depressed lately because of the constant bullying and some of my classmates put me out of place. Like I am not a classmate of theirs. Well, that's high school for you. Hehehe.

Anyways, that's it for today. Part 2 will continue after the hell quarter is done! So long and I will see you all, in the next chapter. Adieu!!!!
