Cure Pure Dimension Tripper!!

“ About as long as I’ve been here, really. ”

As many jokes as she would normally make... she was talking to someone else who wanted out of this place. And she really wanted out of this place.

“ Like... I don’t mind meeting the new people here, but we’re totally bein’ held against our will here! Like, how are people just okay with that?! ”

She was thoroughly annoyed with it, it say the least.

“ ... Ugh, sorry ‘bout that. Just... man, the next part of the plot that gets the resistance rolling is takin’ a while. I really don’t wanna spend several years stuck in another dimension again. ”

And convenient placement of the plot brought her... where else? Right near Thor, as she contemplated.

“ Like... we could totally all get outta here if we more people were fighting for it and stuff. I can’t even find an underground resistance or anything. ”

At the end of her little speech, he was laughing outright at her little comedy stunt he just did before her. 

“ What a riot! Acting so tough and then falling flat on your face not knowing where to even take someone like me. Sadly, a regular prison won’t hold me nor the majority of other facilities around here would. I’m far to strong for those types of jailing. “ 

Lightning itched around his body before he approached her taking one step at a time. 

And now she’s angry.

“ You’re just... proud to be a villain, arentcha?! Just sayin’ it so calmly to other people... what the hell?! ”

She was definitely not very pleased with how this was going... she had thought that at least the jerks who forced this whole thing to happen would think to not bring bad guys into things.

“ I don’t know if you’re bein’ serious or not, so I can’t fight you right now. I’ve met plenty of dudes who call themselves evil and couldn’t hurt a fly... just tryna look cool and all that. You’re definitely the lamest-lookin’ villain I’ve dealt with if you are real... ”

“ You could also just steal some money. Look around you. Those people at the cashier are not real people, taken from their home worlds like us. In this world, the rule is interaction. Does not mean we gotta follow human-common sense rules. “ 

“ ... Are you telling me to steal and be a villain? ”

“ Listen, dude, I’ve been around here for a little while. The only people I wanna do bad things to are the people who forced everyone into all this - and heck, even the generic NPCs are prob’ly just livin’ their lives and doin’ their jobs! ”

Neptune gave a glare to the other person - she was a quirky, comedic character, but she was an honest hero. She could never resort to thievery or stealing... 

“ Are you tellin’ me you steal stuff? I could easily take you to the police! ”

“ ... Or, uh... someone around here who knows where the authorities are. ”

The assassin glared at the young girl who he had bumped into. And also at the sudden assortment of papers that had fallen from his grasp due to bumping into this young girl. It wasn’t exactly a hostile stare, but it wasn’t friendly either.

“ Oof... sheesh, what’s with all the bump-in meetings lately...? ”

She took a second to recover, before looking up at the... rather ‘professional-y’ man in front of her. Ugh... to add insult to injury, it was one of those stone-cold no-reaction guys... of all kinds of people, it had to be the ones who didn’t even have comedic value. And then, hearing his words didn’t help... just a stern ‘request’ that may as well have just exerted itself as a command. Neptune hated the idea of taking orders... but she was already on the ground. She huffed lightly, before grabbing the papers in front of her. Luckily, the wind wasn’t too strong, so she just had to reach a little out of her way to get them all.

“ ... You could say ‘please’, y’know. ”

“I told you it didn’t work, it’s a simply toy after all, high quality.”

He let out a sigh of relief as she tried his evoker, or his toy gun, and pointed it at the ground, suddenly glad that she didn’t point it at him, or else, this would be a disaster, this was going smoothly, as with a gentle smile, he was waiting for her to bring his evoker to him, until he saw the girl pointing the gun to his head, it simply worked when he imagined death looming over him, or his persona wouldn’t summon, and suddenly, he felt that same feeling of dread, which caused him to suddenly panic,.

“H–Hey, wait a—”

His voice was suddenly serious, as if to stop her from shooting him in the head with his evoker, but he failed, as he heard almost the sound of glass shattering as the shot pierced through his head, that same glass, shaping into a liquid that flew above him, and suddenly transformed into a giant man looming over him, with no sword on his hands, but a world that seemed to spin around, having not summed his persona for a long time made him felt relieved, but dizzy at the same time, his face slowly turning pale as behind him, his persona seemed to wave at the girl in front of Akihiko, not catching up on literally anything.

“…Can i explain?”

“ Uh - wh...?! ”

She’s seen many weird things, to be sure, but... this was new. A fake gun, sparking a huge, unnatural reaction all the way through him... but he didn’t look like he was dying... but...

This... changed things. She stared blankly for a few moments, trying to take in just what she was seeing, as she pulled the gun away, and set it in her pocket. Would she permanently keep it away? She wasn’t sure, but... she needed to know what was going on. There was suddenly a huge... thing summoned from the buff man at the shot of... a fake gun.

“…I–It’s…” This would sound so stupid, and so unbelievable, since the gun did look extremely real due to miss money giving them evokers of too good quality, or too good quality to seem like– “A toy gun, it… It just makes sounds when you use it.”

He was 200% sure that she wouldn’t believe him, even with his charming &. dorky smile that said ‘please don’t take it away’ like a small child would, but even so, he still tried to stood up, slowly, and for her not to think that he was going to snatch it away from her, no.

In this world, Neptune had no authority, true, but she could certainly act as the authority figure she technically was in her world, to protect citizens... but there was definitely no harm in a toy gun. But a man as strong as the one in front of her, so big, so muscular... he definitely gave off the “ineffectual villain” vibe.

“ ... ”

She of course wouldn’t test it in his direction - were he lying, it would make her a murderer... and even an attempted murderer wasn’t something she wanted to kill, especially a human one. No, rather, she aims it directly on the empty ground in front of her... several feet away from Akihiko. Both hands on the gun and a pull of the trigger...

But nothing. She examined the gun briefly... it didn’t look like there was a safety lock on it or anything like that. Despite it’s very gun-like weight... it was just a toy? ...

“ ... Welp, guess I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions there, dude! ”

She seemed convinced. She was fairly idealistic, and she didn’t see how a toy gun could be harmful... maybe this guy was just a big, harmless dork like he seemed to be. Given the shounen-like killer robots who were... just comically perverted businessman in her world, it was certainly fitting enough among her colorful cast of friends.

Her positive, bubbly attitude was back, as she walked toward him, gun in front of her - it wasn’t like she’d need it, after all. Her means of playing more consisted of rolling on the ground, giggling like a dork, and flirting with her friends - definitely nothing an uncomfortably-realistic gun would do for her.

Well, Akihiko, looks like this one was gonna go by more easi-

“ Bam. ”

This had definitely happened before, and he should’ve known it would happen again with his utmost luck, he was walking normally with his evoker, seemingly hidden, and seemingly secure, and he decided, you know, for funzies, to trip on air, it was tradition, apparently to do this, but this time, the gun-shaped tool, flew to a certain person who stood out too much.

Yes, this is your cue Neptune, to be a hero, catch the gun-thingy, and help this grown buffy man stand up because he’s too clumsy.

“ Whoa-! ”

But of course, the Evoker flew out of Akihiko’s ever-so-gallant hands, flying conveniently right into her chest, as she caught it on instinct. Of course, catching it allowed time for her to see what it was... a gun? Was this a gun?! It wouldn’t be too bad on her, being a Goddess and all, but... what was someone doing with a gun in their hands in the middle of public?!

Forget helping him up - right now, she could only glare down at the man, make things more of an inconvenience for him than they already were.

“ Hey! What the Nep are you doin’ with somethin' like this, huh?! And why would you pull it out in public?! ”

Her comedic nature was completely off to the side for a moment, as she followed the assumption the man had dropped a legitimate gun into her hands.

“ Hey! ”

“ I was in one anime! I’m a video game character! ”

“ Which is way more consistent than comic books, which can’t pick a continuity, retcon everything, and rewrite their characters every ten seconds! ”

“ They’re even roping super-generic evil human-hating robots into the mix. Are they just tryna get some of everything? ”

Aigis readied her hand and shot five bullets, or at least they would have been bullets if the scientists had not so cautiously changed her ammo to bb gun pellets. Four of the shots went off in different directions, flying to who knows where. But the fifth one, it went straight, perhaps too straight. Aigis’s BB pellet flew straight and struck the person in front of her, directly in their ass. Whoops, maybe shooting in a crowd was a bad idea.

And just as luck would have it... a clean strike of the pellet right on her bottom.

“ Hey hey hey, watch where your fake bullets go... robochick! ”
