I need a Hero (DE HARD) ❷✗

[Deleted]

What is happiness? To each individual happiness is something unique and special to themselves. For some it might be sharing a sea salt ice cream bar atop a clock tower watching the sun set. To others it might be seeing a long term plan come to fruition as all the pieces of an over the top and complex plan come together in the right moment. Some might say that it is seeing a loved one for the first time after being separated from them by what one could call different worlds. Others might say it's enjoying selling lemon aid to strangers in unique and different places. To a dog however, happiness is having someone to play with and be a companion.

So when Chief was separated from Asuka he felt the exact opposite of happiness as his new friend was being taken away from him, however that feeling of sadness didn't last long as he was brought to the kennel. You see in this world there isn't much for children to do to stay happy and be entertained that isn't life threatening, however even in this bleak time mankind's best friend still exists. For most trying to survive in this place as well as taking care of a dog is hard, however dogs do offer support that can't be undervalued. So how do you solve the issue of needing someone to take care of dogs as well as kids not being able to have safe and enjoyable fun? Easy you make the kids the care takers of the dogs.

So Chief separated from his new friend found himself in essentially doggy heaven. All around him in this kennel were other dogs to play with, rubber balls saved from old toy stores and plenty of kids to play with. Looking at the dog it wouldn't be long before he would forget about his worries and enjoy playing around with the other dogs and kids. It was honestly a great change of pace for the poor dog who before this was simply wandering around the wilds of this destroyed karakura town. That however wasn't the case for Rin and Ranth, while chief the third member of their part was happy, the other two were anything but.


As Asuka started to ramble off on her story to both Fahrenheit and John simply looked at the girl and her wild story. Both of them not to sure what to believe from her story, it seemed crazy, however there was something that did catch John's attention. The word of cops, in this place they had no police, there were guards, but they weren't called cops, heck they hadn't called guards cops for years no one made that mistake unless... Well unless the story she was telling was true, it would explain a few things. “Calm down there girly, if what you're saying is true then it explains so much.” Looking over at Fahrenheit John yelled. “Hey go untie him and give him a stimpack so he wakes up and drag him to my office.”

John would take a knife out from his pocket, using it to cut the binding holding Asuka before offering her a hand up from the chair. “Let's go have a talk in my office and get you cleaned up.” With that John would lead Asuka away from Ranth and towards his office. While that was going on Fahrenheit pulled Ranth from his chair injecting him with a needle containing a red liquid. This strange liquid would rush into Ranth actually healing him of any injuries, while Fahrenheit carried him to the office with him slung over her shoulder. Ranth would probably awaken in a few moments after being injected with the needle.

John's office was rather plain, with a few decorations, however it was clear that everything in this place was old and used. The sofa in front of his office was torn and had a bit of it's stuffing was coming out. Ranth would be forced on the sofa somewhat gently and John tossed a towel to Asuka. “So do you want to start over from the beginning? And go slowly, if you're really from another world then that explains a few things, so wanna start with your name and what do you two know of the girl who brought you here.”

“Calm down there girly, if what you're saying is true then it explains so much.”

Asuka barely held her tongue when he told her to calm down. When they went to go untie them, Asuka just let the already lose rope drop from her wrists and dropped them in front of John before he could cut her loose. The Segunda glared at him long and hard as the one known as Fahrenheit helped Ranth. Asuka didn’t move, watching Fahrenheit help him before moving. She didn’t trust these people. Asuka had no reason to. When she saw her companion being carried and ready to go, Asuka merely nodded her head and followed John to his office. Reluctantly.

She walked alongside Fahrenheit, keeping a close eye just in case of any funny business and when she made her way to his sofa she caught the towel, gingerly throwing it over Ranth’s head and giving him a small smile. “You ok, Ranthy?” she asked in a small voice, concernedly. Asuka looked him over just in case. She wasn’t the one that got dumped with dirty water or clocked in the back of the head after all. Everyone here was pretty damn lucky she couldn’t leave her gigai.

“First of all.” Asuka began sternly, “I want my dog back.” Emerald irises focused on John with great hostility. Asuka was your best friend until you gave her a reason not to be. Being ambushed and clocked on the head for no reason wasn’t cool. No sir! No way! Moments would pass in silence as she burned with anger before she’d finally sigh and shake her head. This place was fucking nuts. “I’m Asuka. I’m from another world I guess? Aha. That’s Ranthy~!” She pointed to him with a cheery grin. At the mention of her brand spankin’ new superstar friend, she instantly brightened up. Gosh she hoped he was alright. Today sure was rough for him.

“We met this girl in jail. She said she had to get people from before a blast that happened. She didn’t tell us her name. Just that we needed to go to the mayor’s office and to tell them that she was sorry.” She said as she started to pull out the fluff and cotton from John’s couch idly and started to slowly pile them on Ranth, making a tiny snowman. When her creation was complete, Asuka just lightly laughed, offering it to him in hopes it would help him feel better. She didn’t know how that would work but her snowman was cute so there was that. “What’s with this place? Why is there creepy stuff and human meatballs everywhere?”

[Ranth]

When Ranth first regained consciousness, he didn't immediately open his eyes. For the first time that he could remember since this had all began, he felt like everything that had happened starting from the moment that he'd arrived in that police station could have been one big bad dream. No snakes, no mutants, no guns, no pills, no naked role mats and certainly no random stabbings. The fact that he felt good, like, really good helped him play along with this little fantasy of his. Or at least, it did until he heard the sounds of the voices in the room and he opened his eyes with a sad, wistful internal sigh.

He was on a couch and Asuka was crouching beside him asking him if he was okay. "I don't want to jinx it, but I actually feel really good right now. What happened?" Looking around at the room, Ranth found that they'd moved inside from where he last remembered standing outside the guardhouse and Asuka, who was looking as close to angry as he'd ever seen her, was giving a brief explanation of the events that had led them here.

Noticing for the first time that he seemed to have become soaked somehow while he was passed out, Ranth gratefully accepted the towel from Asuka and began drying himself off as best he could while she continued her explanation. After what had happened so far, Ranth was beyond trusting anyone in this godforsaken place and had well and truly decided not to open his mouth or say a damned thing- especially when he wasn't being spoken to- as so far, every time he'd tried it seemed to result in him being knocked out, soaked, shot at, blown up or otherwise threatened.

One thing was for sure though, he felt like he'd seen a glimpse of another side to Asuke beyond the sweet smiles and carefree jokes. Much like with any woman he supposed, if she was pushed too far even someone as sweet and kind as Asuka had a breaking point and that would be a truly terrifying sight to behold. Thus he contended himself with poking playfully at Asuka's little snowman and smiling gratefully at her as a sign of appreciation and (hopefully) to remind her that if shit hit the fan and she devolved into a rampaging she-beast of some kind, that he was on her side. He'd heard stories about how dangerous women could be when angered after all.

[Deleted]

John looked at the two and leaned back in his chair after hearing everything they both had to say. "Well shit, looks like Sam actually did it, that crazy bitch...." Taking in a deep breath John started to understand what was going on and who these two were. Sad to say given the stories he had heard he wasn't all that impressed, but then again who knew how strong they actually were, maybe they could be of use to them. Either way it was clear to him that these two weren't from his world and were owed a explanation as to what was going on.

"First off, let me say sorry for the rough treatment, thought you two were synths... well you two wouldn't know what those are. I'll tell you later, guessing based on your reactions to this place your world is much different than ours. Guess I should start at what caused this place to go all screwy. It all started with the Vandenreich, after they killed the soul king and their emperor took over as the soul king. All the worlds were merged together. Honestly it was a paradise, under the rule of the soul king there was no death, no end, just a time of immortality and bliss. Hollows were almost all but eradicated, arrancar,bount, fullbringers and all others were depowered. The siners of hell were destroyed. Only Quincy loyal to the emperor had power, but they only kept order. Almost everyone agreed that it was a good thing." John's voice started to trail off as he spoke of the past remembering the good times.

A low breath was let out as he spoke again." Then the remains of the shingmai attacked. See, when they had won the Vandenreich decided that there wasn't a need to really hunt down the leftovers of the shingami. They were depowered and honestly no stronger than a normal human. They didn't pose a threat as they couldn't touch the quincies. That was a mistake, see the last of those fuckers got an idea, they were upset that they lost and were made weak. So they took all the blanks and made them into a weapon. A horrible creation and fired it at the soul king without warning. That weapon shook the world as it killed the soul king. Fallout from that attack coated the world, it poisoned everything, almost as if it was radioactive. Some were lucky, getting out with just mild burns and not much else, others, well you see how I turned out. Use to have smooth and soft skin, now, well lets just say the one part of me that's smooth shouldn't be. Though have to say at least I kept my mind, unlike others. Others callem feral ghouls, they're nasty and will bite about anything that doesn't look like em."

By this time John was waving an empty glass around at Fahrenheit, she seeing this stepped out of the room. "As far as those meatbags go, guessing you two ran into some large green men that screamed like five year olds?" The way he worded it was somewhat like a question, but more like a statement to the both of them. "Those are super mutants,not too sure where they came from, but... they're nasty smart enough to know how to use a gun and build, also built like a damn tank. But they're not all that bright so if you avoid their areas you're not likely to run into them." Fahrenheit came back in with a glass bottle and poured John a drink. "Thanks sweet cheeks." After taking a drink he started up again.

"Sorry throat gets a little dry talking this much, if I'm guessing right you two need to get to the mayor's office, well I got good news and bad news for the both of you . Good news is, if you want to spend about a week traveling you can safely get past the super mutants or the deathclaws. But I doubt you two want to spend that much time to do so. There is a path that would take only a few hours at most, but.... I've got an issue that I need solving. See a few raiders decided that they would set up shop near one of my trade routes cutting off much needed supplies as they hit up caravans. Can't spare any guards to deal with them, but you two...well lets just say that if you two were to go missing it wouldn't hurt goodneighbor. Don't get me wrong I'm not wishing you two to fail, but I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. So here's my offer, you two take care of those raiders and I'll show you two the path to the mayor's office. I'll even throw in some extra caps your way for payment."

By this time John was done with his drink and was looking at the two. "Oh yea you got sticked with a stimpack, it's a mix of arrancar bones and bount blood that can heal almost anything instantly. Before you two get into a tiff, most arrancar know at death their bones will be collected, and bounts sell off their blood for a few caps so it ain't like we're harvesting them. So you two wanna do the job Or are you both going to take the long way around?" John would watch the two and wait to see what they would say, he would also be up to answering any questions the two would have.

[Deleted]

John informed them about everything. Gave them the run down! The 4-1-1! The SCÖÖP. Why didn’t that apply to ice cream in this case? Why couldn’t she just have Hokey Pokey right now? That’s really what Asuka wanted. To go home, play with Chief and to get ice cream with Ranthy~! That sure sounded swell! What if it wasn’t a scoop of ice cream though..? What if it was a scoop of öats? Did Ranthy have any öats? Asuka knew she was quite famished and required some. She could only hope John would be so gracious and give them some delicious öats or ice cream to snack on.

“What’s a Vanderbike?”

Asuka raised her hand, trying to ask a question as if she were in school. She knew this was a ton of info to take in but some stuff she just straight up didn’t understand! Some she never heard of before! From the sounds of it, they were doing great stuff and then he said a bunch of other stuff that didn’t really make sense. She knew Arrancar and Broccoli People but nothing else. She couldn’t imagine anyone agreeing to anything like that. As much as Asuka really did want piece. She knew that there was balance and that no hollow meant bad stuff even though she didn’t like a whole lot of them.

What does she know though!? Anyway, it seems like the Sparkle Wizards did something and that was the cause of it. There were giant meatballs and mutants and naked dogs running everywhere because of this. Asuka still didn’t get it but she was way too lost to even begin asking questions. Asuka turned to look at Ranth and smiled but it was one that clearly showed that she was so lost that there was no getting out of these woods.

It seemed John wanted them to do a mission if they wanted to get to the Mayor’s office quickly. They wanted them to deal with some bad guys and it was only cause they were expendable. Asuka would sigh with exasperation, pouting and looking on doe eyed as she thought over the idea of being chased down by things with large teeth and bullets again. She was kind of over this day but if it needed to be done, then so be it. “Ranthy? Whaddya think? Aha” She whispered to him, looking to him expectantly. “Whatever you decide to do, I’ll follow. I got your back.” She nodded affirmatively. Wherever Ranthy wanted to go, the Segunda would be there back him up! Yes sir! Yes sir!

Then came the comment about the stimpack and Asuka looked at the small snowman on Ranthy’s lap and started to fumble around with it and poke at it somewhat nervously. Her hair obscured her vision but her eyes were wide with terror as he listed the ingredients of the concoction used for healing Ranthy. Her bones… Some guy’s blood… Oh god, she was going to be sick.

[Ranth]

Finally hearing an explanation of this apocalyptic world's circumstances made so many things fall into place for Ranth as he sat there on the tattered couch and trying to remain calm. For starters, it seemed that both himself and Asuka had been dragged into the future- or rather, a version of the future where things had gone horribly wrong. The explanation behind the events leading up to the world's current state raised all sorts of questions and sources of protest within him, but remembering how the woman- whose name he now knew to be Samantha- had treated him and the way the Mayor spoke about the events told him it was best not to contradict any of his opinion. More importantly, there was no way in hell he was going to own up to being a Shinigami in a world where they were held responsible for the apocalypse.

When all was said and done, the Mayor got down to the crux of the issue. Or rather, he got down to explaining how Ranth and Asuka could be of use to them and Ranth suppressed the urge to groan as he found himself volunteered as chief decision maker for his two man party. It seemed that the Mayor was keen to put them to use as a 'no risk' mercenary squad and he could only be grateful for the fact that the man was gracious enough to be honest and upfront about that fact. The town had a problem, the solution was dangerous and nobody wanted to put their own necks on the line... so the arrival of two strangers would of course be a welcome boon in that regard.

On the face of things, Ranth didn't figure that they had much of a choice in the matter. The best he could do in this situation was try and negotiate the best deal for their services that he possibly could. Although it was a little tricky to think about negotiations when his stomach churned relentlessly after hearing about the ingredients that went into the miraculous 'stim pack' that had been used on him after he was knocked out. On the one hand, he couldn't deny the miraculous effects and remarkable lack of side effects... but at the same time, he couldn't just ignore the fact that he technically had 'Arrancar bits' and 'Bount bits' inside him. Yet he kept his face carefully neutral, for it was best to come across as a regular human with no knowledge of the spiritual races. Yes, he just had to pretend he was like Asuka. A normal human.

"We'll take the job, but as you can see we're not equipped for any sort of fight. If you want us to fight your battles for you then we'll need weapons and equipment. We found a pistol on the way over here, but that's not going to hold up against any of the weapons we've had pointed at us since we arrived. We'll need whatever weapons and armour you can spare and two of those stim packs". Although Ranth wasn't the most confident individual, he'd read up on the use of affirmative language when it came to negotiations. Essentially, by stating needs rather than requesting he was- in theory- a little more likely to have more of his requests granted.

Ultimately though, he wasn't exaggerating when he pointed out how ill equipped they were for any kind of conflict. They had no weapons aside from the pistol and two bullets and their clothing provided zero protection against anything that might seek to harm them, much less bullets or explosives. He didn't like the idea of willingly administering a stim pack, but he couldn't deny how effective they were and so he had no choice but to ask for them regardless of his personal qualms about the ingredients that went into them. Realistically, it was much easier to acquire some more weapons and ammunition than it was to acquire two new soldiers, so by Ranth's calculations their terms should fall within acceptable limits... but then again, what did he know about the local economy in an environment such as this?

[Deleted]

Jack tilted the glass back taking a long drink as he listened to Ranth asking for both armor and weapons. Jack would place the glass against the desk after Ranth finished speaking letting out a strained chuckle at the request. Not that it was dumb request, but that it was an arrogant request to give to the mayor of the town. “I like you kid, you got what a lot of folks around here lack, balls. And i'm not talking about the ones in your pants either. Sadly I can't go around giving out guns and armor, but Kl-e-o does owe me a favor so I'll have someone tell her to give you a credit line of two hundred caps and to throw in that thing we found a while back. With that you should have plenty if you're smart about it.”

“Fahrenheit, go take them to Kl-e-o and tell her what I promised these two, oh and get her mutt out of the playpens would ya.” Fahrenheit would start to move walking away from the dilapidated office and heading down and out side, not really waiting for Ranth and Asuka to ask any further questions or stop. By the time she reached the door of the outside building if Ranth and Asuka didn't move she would scream at them to get moving or she would leave them and pocket the line of credit herself. If by chance Ranth or Asuka was still in the office of Jack they would see him simply shake his head and laugh as he started to drink from the bottle it's self.

Getting to the actual city Ranth and Asuka would see that while there were some large buildings most of this place was just as bad as the outside, say for the fact that every once in a while they would see a person armed with a tommy gun and wearing the same 50's typical gangster outfits that the two guards outside had as well as the ones that joined them. Even with all the people walking around armed there would be a sense of peace in this place, something that was lacking from the rest of the world.

The walk to Kl-e-o was short, taking less than a minute, her store was right near the entrance of neighborh. Her store had two large yellow signs that tried to draw in people. The first yellow sign of her store had three words on it all the same each of them saying GUNS in large gray rusted letters as well having a neon blue gun glowing. The second sign hanged from the side of the building and had a few more words on it as well as an arrow pointing towards the store. This yellow sign had the gray rusted metal like the other, but it had the words kill or be killed cut out of it.

“Hey Kl-e-o Jack says to give these two a two hundred credit line and give them that thing we found.” A mechanical but effeminate voice would call out from the store. “Sure thing honey.” Fahrenheit would walk away from the two of them going to grab Asuka's dog. When Ranth and Asuka would approach Kl-e-o they would see that there was a robot standing there with a humanoid figure and a single red eye in the center of it's face. Off on it's chest there would be a white star and under it the letters U.S.A. stamped in white.

“Well hello there cutey, what can I get for you today.” An effeminate voice would come from the atomoton as Ranth and Asuka got closer to it. That comment being directed at Ranth given her head was tilted in his direction. Before either Ranth or Asuka would be able to say anything else the atomoton  spoke again. "I've got a weapon for every situation. Hunting, protection, cold blooded murder, HOT blooded murder." This time the atomoton made sure to emphasis the word hot and stare right at Ranth. Both Ranth and Asuka could ask Kleo any number of things and she would answer as well as provide the two of them with anything they wanted to buy.

At the end of the transaction Kleo would speak up again. “Hold on there sailor, I've got a special gift for you.” Kleo would walk away from the counter and head into the back, just a few moments later she would come out with another robot. This one was actually flying, and had three limbs, each limb had a small pincer like hand. Oddly enough the three eyes of this robot seemed to be more like security cameras, each of them were mounted on it's head but on arms that allowed them to move. Yet the strangest thing about this robot was it's little bowler hat that it wore on what seemed to be it's head.

In a charming and upbeat British accent the new strange robot started to speak. “Hello there madam and sir, my name is codsworth, your new personal mobile store. I can easily sell, buy and trade anything you have as long as you have the caps for it. As well as telling you what unique items can do. Now can I please have your names?” The robot would hover around waiting to hear the names of Asuka and Ranth, by this time Fahrenheit would have come back with Chief, who was now sporting a red banana and a set of goggles.

Caps… Caps? Asuka reached into her pocket and pulled out the small sack and started shaking it. “Caps.” She blinked a few times before looking to good ol’ trusty Ranthy. She shook them again and smiled brightly. The Segunda got up on her tippy toes and brought her hand to cover the side of her mouth a s she tried to whisper into the taller male’s ear so that no one could hear. “I think we’re rich, Ranthy!” Oh but don’t tell anyone! What if they get robbed and stuff?!

She clutched the bag to her chest and linked arms with him and happily skipped off behind Fahrenheit. “Shopping~! I love shopping, Ranthy! I love shopping for pretty things! I love shopping for food! Oh gosh! Especially food! Sweet stuff! I really love sweet stuff! Do you like shopping too, Ranthy?!” She asked as she skipped and tugged him along, looking up at him as curious as a kitten. Gosh! Asuka sure hoped he liked shopping as much as she did! You could get all kinds of stuff when you shopped! Like clothes! Stuffed animals! Cotton Candy! All kinds of fun stuff!

When they arrived at the shop she let go of him and leaned on the counter, staring at the robots that spoke to them. Miss Robot seemed to really like Ranthy a whole bunch! “Ranthy!” She turned to whisper to him, yet again, signaling the robot with her eyes. “I think she likes you lots!” She giggled like a school girl who’d been let in on a secret and was doing an extremely bad job at keeping it. Asuka spun back around to the robot who then spoke of murder and then she’d shy away rather fearfully at the sound of the word. She didn’t wanna murder people.

“I-I-I’m Asuka.” She stammered. “Uhh.. Uhm.. How much is junk jet and uhm.. how much are those stim pack thingies? Also I’d really like some pants.” She blushed feeling fairly awkward as she didn’t really know what to totally buy and this wasn’t her favorite place; the grocery store. Oh god! What if she accidentally told the store owner "Thank you, come again?!" even though it wasn't her store. Oh Jesus Christ the horror!! She looked to her companion somewhat looking to him for help or trying to see what he wanted. It would be then, Asuka would see the sight of all sights! Her dog, the only and only, “Chief! Gosh! You look so cute, aha~!” She giggled, kneeling and hugging her dog for a moment. She’d nearly gotten carried away but the remember that they were on a dangerous mission and she’d stand, looking over the counter again and passing off the bag of bottle caps to Ranthy! It was a scary mission to buy pants and stuff!

[Ranth]

Ranth watched Asuka bumble around and ask for pants. In his humble opinion, Asuka was living her best life and didn't need to buy pants- but who was he to tell her what to do? It was 2018 after all and he didn't want to be the next internet headline act for the White Knight republic. In any event, Asuka was happy doing her shopping and seeing the young woman return to her bright and bubbly self after that brief period of flatness during their meeting with the Mayor, Ranth felt a sense of relief as he positive energy was contagious and made their entire situation feel just a little bit less bleak.

It was certainly odd being addressed by a robot that seemed to possess far more sentience than any AI program from the timeline they'd come from could have simulated. It brought home the fact that it was truly a shame that the world had gone the way that it had- what would their civilisation have been like if the inhabitants of all three realms could have managed to continue coexisting? It seemed that the blame for what had happened lay on the shoulders of the Shinigami, but when their entire existence was predicated by the need to preserve balance, what else could anyone have expeceted them to do when that balance was completely eradicated?

The Quincy of this world had meant well- if he took the mayors word for it- but what had they expected was going to happen? It sounded as though they'd imposed a new order by force, so of course there was going to be retaliation no matter how good their intentions were. Nobody- no matter the race- wanted their fate to be dictated to them by another, so this timeline served as a stark reminder that the three realms had been created separately and should remain that way forever and always.

By the time Ranth's introspection was finished, Asuka had finished ordering her bits and pieces and Ranth blinked as he gathered his wits and surveyed the tally of items that she'd asked for. One pair of pants, something called a junk launcher and four stim packs. "Make that two junk launchers and we'll take the pants in sheep print if you have them, thank you very much for your help!" Ranth smiled amiably as they handed over the required bottle caps to complete their purchase. It was at that time that their twosome became a foursome as Asuka's dog dashed onto the scene whilst a floating mechanical companion named codsworth and seemed to possess a number of handy dandy functions that would aid them in their coming endeavors!

"My name is Ranth and this is Asuka", Ranth said politely to the floating robot. "I don't suppose you have a map of some kind do you? We need to go and take care of some trouble on behalf of the mayor, but we don't know our way around! It's be real handy if you could point us in the right direction", he said with hopefully. Asuka, Chief, are you ready to go?" he called over to the pair who were in the midst of a heart warming reunion.

[Deleted]

 Kl-e-o gladly gave the two of them the two junkjets that they asked for as well as four stimpacks, leaving them with only thirty caps left to buy something. Now when Asuka asked for pants Kl-e-o was more than happy to start looking through what she had in terms of pants. In all actuallity she had found something perfect for Asuka. Asuka would have gotten a pair of teal combat cargo pants with plenty of pockets that could hold plenty of dog treats and any random things she would find in the waste land. This is what she would have gotten, however with Ranth asking for something sheep related the item she would get changed drastically. Instead of having the super useful and effective combat cargo pants Asuka was given a pair of sheep socks. Ke-l-o would respond with the fact that this was the only thing she had sheep related and take the last of their caps leaving them with no way to buy anything else. Especially not any junk to use as ammo for their junk jets.

With their transaction out of the way Cogsworth would pipe up about Ranth's question about having a map. “Why yes sir I do have a map, at least of the general area.” With that a light would peer out from one of his eyes showing a holographic map out that would show a bit of the area around them. “We're right here at the college square. We need to head on over to Monsignor plaza, there are a few ways we can go, but I'll leave that choice up to you sir. No matter which path we go Sir we will have to rest given how far away it is it will take a few hours to get there.” After that the map would vanish and he would be ready to follow the two. Now it was up to the two heros on which road they would travel.

Chief barked a single time in response to Ranth calling out to him. Happily, he trotted up to the male, tail wagging before he playfully ran back to his owner, getting her attention. “Just a second!” Asuka called out, hiding somewhere in the shop. As soon as she’d acquired the cargo pants, she quickly my moved to do the ole’ switcheroo! C’est la vie best life! There were good times had with these extra, extra short shorts but man! They’re so not cool when you’re running from those big scary mutant guys. Or the rat things… Or the ghoul things.. Or the robot things… There were a lot of things to run from. It was all pretty bad and the movie just wouldn’t end, would it?

When she finished, she hopped out from whatever corner she’d been in and presented herself proudly to Ranth. “Tada~!” She spun around looking at herself and then to Ranth, wide eyed and filled with gleeful wonder. “Whaddya think!? Pretty snazzy huh, Ranthy!?” She giggled before kneeling down, reaching over to her favoritest German Chocolate Cake Shepherd, petting him and scratching behind his ears. “Ooh.. Good idea! Maps are fun!” Maybe there'd be treasure where X marked the spot. She looked to the one provided by Cogsworth. “Ooh! A diner! Can we go there!? Maybe we’ll be able to pick up lots of stuff along the way and get hokey pokey~! Aha~!” She stood up, pulling the taller male along with her mind clearly made up. She wanted to go to Cambridge Campus Diner! “Have you ever heard of Diner Dashing, Ranthy?”
