“Hehehehe~ Of course, I’ve been feeling real good as of late! Good enough to start spreading my swamp farther and farther! Though it does feel off to only be talking to you, usually that weird blonde or the so called prince is with you”

“How the hell is that even possible… Well whatever, not my problem. Hey death prophet! Your brother over here passed out or something! Now let me do my thing in peace!” -she vanished once again, leaving Prometheus behind on the floor, alone-

-And here Metallia was actually about to do what she was told to do…eh might as well take him back to his sister. And off she goes, teleporting him and herself back-

ViVi Welcome to Metallia, she’s not above cruelty to say the least

“Remind me when I meet the blonde Prometheus is talking to, to grab her and drown her in my swamp for being so damn annoying! Friendship this, peace that, even to me this shits getting annoying!”

“Not at all, though I guess it’s pointless asking a dumbass like you for anything. All you care about is murder and destruction. I bet there’s not even a single coherent thought up there in your mechanical head. Forget I asked anything, I’ll ask that death prophet instead. —>

“Yeah yeah I got it! Not like I’ve been doing it already anyways. I’ll make my way over there in a bit. But I have some questions and I think I’ve done enough to earn them answered.” -She turned back to face him, eyes narrowing into a glare.- —>

“Hey! My pillars bloom with the beauty of my swamp! You best watch your mouth before I rip your damn head off! But that place…a mechanical forest in a tower…reminds me of her… I was already planning on making my swamp known to place like that anyway!” —>

“Heh, clearly you need a bit of an observation of my power, watch and learn old man!” -The witch smiled and waved her hand and a nearby robot, a fodder soldier. In an instant green swamp oozed from it as its mechanical frame morphed into something to match its new strength- —>

“I suppose…just seems like a lazy way of labeling things. Humans really have gotten stupid with that shit here… Death toll goes up huh, well I’m not exactly accustomed to this place so a little direction would help. Though I could just spread my swamp everywhere I go and see what happens~ —>

“Hah! You try and get witch soldiers, that idiocy could get you killed you know! Only witches can summon them and they only obey said witch, think of them like familiars. I can tell you posses no mana, even if you wanted to you couldn’t, but I could give some tips on making…other creations”

“Yeah…whatever you say brat. Now, just tell me where the next fragment or whatever is. If you can even locate them. I’m sure I’ll get to getting it eventually after all, also what’s up with all these area names? Area B, C, F. Why are they all letters?”

“Ok…but what happens if they fail? Do you end up scrapping them and make new ones or upgrade them? Not like their lives matter, they’re soldiers at the end of the day. Made for combat just like the witch soldiers of my world.”

“The mega man killers? Not exactly being subtle with the name are you? So these guys are suppose to kill this mega man guy or whatever right?”

“Well that’s certainly a nice tree, if you want I can set you ablaze and light you up like a real festive tree!”

~Meanwhile at the center~ -The swamp witch smiled as she had in her hand what looked like a small green flower…despite its innocent look it smelled of rot and decay! Metallia slowly set it down on the concrete, the flower immediately digging into it! Its roots embedding itself there. —>

“No, I should be able to get there on my own. You’re surprisingly trusting you know, you should be careful with who you decide to tell stuff to. Even the most boring of faces can hide shit after all~” -She smiled before spinning on her heel and making her way the the capital. —>

“Robot masters? So you’re not a reploid either…man what’s with these names? Not like I care, it’s just annoying to keep track of them all.” -It felt…odd for sure, hearing about how this was average sized for a city…well she did have one question in mind- “Actually there is one thing. —>

“Geez…you really do talk like arllechino, so stoic and dead panned. It’s annoying for sure, but not unexpected… And one name sounds like someone gave up while thinking of it while the other is an actual name.” -Geez…she sure wasn’t holding back her words…as she spoke she looked around the city —>

“Quake woman huh? What a dumb name given by wherever created you, Tempo is much better. And I am Metallia, the great swamp witch!” -An almost evil smirk appeared on her face as she spoke, her words laced with venom as she spoke. …whoever she was she seemed very off…- —>

“Huh…so another creature made of metal but not one of the Mavericks huh? There seems to be a lot of them around in this world, as if the human population has gone down considerably….” -She wasn’t that concerned, every world was different after all, every reality its own story.- —>

“Finally! You certainly took your sweet time baking these things didn’t you? Let’s just see if the taste warrants all that time you spent.” -The blonde eagerly picked up one of the chocolates, looking at it closely before tossing it into her mouth. Chewing on it and swallowing it after a bit. —>

“You sure? Cause it seems to me that you prefer to be all alone” -In what felt like perfect timing a certain blonde would appear behind her…she certainly looked odd…- “But your look…are you one of those mavericks that one girl was talking about? You certainly look like them”

~Meanwhile back at Niblhenne Swamp~ “Somewhere I sense that everyone is starting to get sick… Good thing I, the great swamp witch, can’t get sick by normal means! Now may be the perfect time to test the new pillar I made, hehehehe~”

“So if this pillar was made with that… Using this I should be able to…” -You probably shouldn’t bother the swamp witch in her house, she has some very important business to get to today!-

-And Metallia was eager to wait! Especially for chocolates! Well that’s what she told herself. In reality she was dying of that! It was her favorite thing to eat after all!-

“Don’t worry, I can wait a few minutes while you cook them up! Mmmm, chocolate is so good~! Your offerings better live up to my standards you know! I can’t have you sullying chocolate and have it go unpunished!” -Geez…well at least that’s one thing alpha could count on to distract her… —>

“Why didn’t you say that earlier?! Bake me some! I wanna see if your chocolates can match up to the best of the best I’ve tasted!” -She of course was talking about the Korrigon, a small race of demons well known for their chocolates that Metallia loved! —>

“Yeaaaaah, loving and caring people…riiiiiihht.” -she smiled cheekily, she truly didn’t exactly care about other people’s feelings or wants. So long as she was kept happy she could hold back on her more…destructive habits for now…- “I bet there are even more to explore too~ —>

“…Who are those two…? Oh well, not like I care. But I know exactly where to test this~” -With that the witch took her leave, vanishing along with the hundred knight only to end up… back in area B Back to the arena where she fought that weird girl… —>

“If it provides me with enough entertainment and doesn’t bore the hell out of me, sure. Not sure if watching people do shit is gonna help with that though. But who knows, knowing your lifestyle some random bullshit could happen and make things exciting for the both of us”

“Don’t worry about keeping maintenance up with them, once they’re bloomed it’ll be hard for anyone to destroy them, even with the materials used. Plus they won’t even be able to get near it~ I did forget to mention that the swamp itself is poisonous~? —>

“Who knows. Whatever furthers my goals and provides me with the most enjoyment possible. Whether that means I side with those on the good or evil side is anyone’s guess. So long as I’m getting something out of it I don’t mind. What about yourself though? Still just watching others I assume?”

“Hehehe, at least you know who’s in charge here. Let me see…” -With a wave of her arm she pointed it directly at the pillar, it shook a bit as it filled with the swamp, its green color getting more and more pronounced before it completely filled! She soon moved her hand down, smirking- —>

-From behind the both of them laughter could be heard as the witch made her presence known to the pair. Her attention immediately shifted towards the pillar. A smile growing on her face as she looked up at it. It looked perfect! Yet she had to make sure it was right.- —>

-The witch would put her hat back on! The top of her head once again obscured by a massive oversized accessory.- “You say that but I know you by now, you’re far from plain, and even the most plain people can hide devious things underneath that guise~ And I speak from experience again” —>

-Not as if the witch was going to go out of her way to find her, for all she knew she was ash on the ground waiting to be blown away by the wind! She looked behind her, the hundred knight smiling happily as it completed its job- “Heh, it’s been a while since we’ve done that. —>

-As the hundred knight fell the witch looked at the fleeing girl… She could easily catch her, with her teleport. But she wasn’t her main priority…instead she wanted to make sure her final moments with her were ones she’d engrave in her memory for a long time…- —>

-Eugh! That optimism…she was stubborn sure but seeing such a large amount of it could almost make her gag! …yet it was that optimism he provided that she found…charming. In a weird sense, it showed growth in her mind.- “…heh, I’m speaking from experience alpha. —>

“And what if you can’t? You may be repairing some worlds but not everything goes back to how it was before, I should know… Some things require more…drastic measures to be put back properly, people won’t come back to life, crops won’t grow, the sun won’t shine. —>

“Oh~? The girl still had some tricks up in her sleeve it seems. Alright Hundred Knight, it’s time to match her little power up with your own! Activate Chaos Revalation!” -In a moment the knight started to charge up, the room quaking a bit before it released its own battle cry! —>

“Regardless, it beats you being a sad pile of shit all your life. And it’s nice to see you so serious, gets me interested to see what exactly you have planned for that Velkuvrana figure. Though I doubt there’s much of a world to be saved if you do end up going there. —>

“Hehe… Hehehehe~! Hahahahahaha~! It’s seems she can’t handle both of us at once! Man it’s been a while since we’ve worked together like this, not since that damned whores at the walpurgis nighttime soirée~! Let’s show her true hell hundred knight!” —>

“Hundred Knight! What the hell is taking you so long?! It’s just a useless girl?! Ugh fine! I’ll help you out, just keep at it and don’t let her out of your sight!” -She yelled at the hundred knight who was on the ground from the back attack! Said night nodding in agreement. —>

“Oh yeah?! I’ll deal with you the same way I dealt with these useless pieces of metal!! Hundred knight! Show no mercy!” -The knight immediately stepped into action, while at first it seemed to struggle with the onslaught of energy pellets, it soon closed in enough to start its offense! —>

-And a single conversation without Etna throwing shade at herself as well? Huh? Maybe she’d actually start warming up to the succubus after their first interaction- “It’s been well, though this place in general is off…I don’t need the swamp to survive lately but being around it makes me stronger.”

“Oh don’t worry, I don’t plan on ruining your special day or whatever. I got bigger plans myself, plus it’s your overlord friend that I have problems with not you. You’re fine in my book succubus”

-The blonde flinched for a moment…someone had followed her here?! …No, they sounded surprised to see her here as well. A chance meeting then? Unfortunate but nothing she hadn’t dealt with before. She turned around arms crossed as she glared at the unwanted guest.- —>

-Yet as she ventured on there was a sense that something was…wrong. So, so wrong here. As she went further in there became fewer and fewer mavericks and machines blocking her path… In fact their carcass’s could be found on the ground! Some were pierced through while others dented… —>
