Rds POV

RDS x 3

?: Hey bud.
?: Hey.
?: Hop up.
?: WAKE YA BUTT UP, TIME TO GO TO WORK, GLITCH!
RDS: WHTDAJDHDJCKAODNKEI
?: That got ya up.
A 2 ringed circle appeared in front of me, with 3 triangles on its outside, symmetrically arranged.
(A/N: I didn't do the Arc proper justice, and the cover has been replaced, so I remade him in Pixel Studio. He used to be on the cover, but that was meant to be a placeholder until I could figure out something better.)

RDS: Who are you? You sound just like I do.
?: True, and that's because I am your other half.
RDS: Wait, WHAT?

RDS: Wait, WHAT?

?: Jk. I'm an extension of your soul that took physical form.
RDS: You never said who.
?: Whoops.

The mysterious circle winks.
Arc: I'm the Arc of the RDS, your signature sidekick!
(The Arc has joined your party at Level 1)
RDS: A replication of myself, that's my sidekick, who was waiting for me to get here? Sweet.
Arc:😎
RDS: We should get out of the Forest of Magic, though...
Arc: How'd you know?
RDS: I've played more than enough Touhou to know.
?: FOOD!

(Rumia, Youkai of the Dusk, Lv. 5)

Arc: Ah crap, she found us

Arc: Ah crap, she found us. I hoped that I'd be able to pick you up without getting noticed. Stand back, this might get ugly.

RDS: Hecks Nah. You're the closest thing I have to a brother and you think I'm just gonna watch? I'm fighting with ya.
She rushes toward me, and twin aura gauntlets materialize on my hands.
Arc: Sure you're ready?

RDS: and Let's-A-Go!

*Battle Start*
I wind up a punch and hit Rumia square in the head, pushing her back.
(62 damage)
(Critical Hit!)
Arc: Less than a second in and you're already hitting crits? Dang.
RDS: Hitting weak spots works.*points finger at Rumia* Best to not get me angry, or the hunter might become the hunted.
Rumia: As you scare me at all, now give me your flesh!*Charges with an ax*
Pretty predictable. Wild youkai aren't known for battle strats. But it's impressive she can hold that ax though, let alone swing it.
RDS: No thanks.
RDS sidesteps, and the slash goes to the ground instead.
(Attack Missed) Now we punish.
The Arc gets out a Mario & Luigi style hammer and brings it down on Rumia's...barrier.
(120 Shield Damage)
RDS: Lame.
(Shield Break)
RDS: Not so lame.
Rumia: *Dizzy from the shield break* You're no fun... Uguu...
RDS: Neither are you. Arc, she's all yours.
Arc: Got it.
