So where’s this…Galberthine?
Hmm…I think it’s…north.
Got it.
...
What happened?
Oh nothing. I think we should make camp here.
Here? It’s too far exposed.
True. If you see a better spot, let me know.
That’s not what I…*sigh* fair enough.
Something wrong?
What?Uh…no.
Sso tell me Fileewallker…*gulp*... how long have you been here? In the Void I mean? I’m sure you’ve met lots of people.
...Your kingdom was my first contact with this place.
...Oh. Hmm…
Then what about before?
Before?
You know…before you wound up in the void.
Oh. Well…it’s really nothing to note. You’d find it boring.
Giek.
Giek?
You know…nonsense.
Ah. Seems my translator’s outdated.
Well it’s a bit of a new word…anyways why won’t you tell me?
I…it’d just be a waste of time.
We got all the time in the world. Now come on…I order you to tell me.
(Hmm…I wonder…)You made a promise to my king to protect and serve me correct?
...I did.
Then I order you to tell me.
...
Woah.
If those other Defenders weren’t there, we would of lost everything.
Sounds like you played a big part in it.
...Hardly.
Is taking out the big bad not something big in your world? It’s like if a Spearbyte took on the Quezon Drake alone. And lived!
...All that matters is that we secured the perimeter with little friendly casualties.
What about the other viruses? Did they stay to fight?
They ran.
You didn’t pursue them?
I-I did, I had to.
Wow! Even though those guys were as fast as a vensombolt huh? How many you’d get.
I…I deleted all of em.
You got 'em all? That’s amazing! To think the first person I’ve met out of my kingdom was a h-
They…they didn’t stand a chance. They really didn’t. Even before they ran, we outnumbered them 3 to 1. It was a suidice run, nothing more. That’s… why they did it…
Uh…that’s enough for now. *yawn*. Lets…get back on track.
Of…Of course Princess.
Huh?
Come on. I’m tired and the way I see it, you won’t have to wait to rest, right?
...hm?
...Well, good to know there's still day and night around here.
False. There is no time in this place. The sky you see? This place is perpetually night. It creates an illusion of nighttime. I'm not sure if it's a small means to make you feel sane, or a mockery telling us we'll never see the real sky again.
... (Guess that's why I don't see the moon around here.)
Now that's enough gab. We need to plan out our escape.
But I don't know-
You may only speak when I allow you to.
...
...Now, then. One method I've heard that our counterparts have been able to leave this place before is a teleporter in one of the "blank space" Warps. We are going to find out which one of these they are, where that teleporter is, and how to make it work.
...
You may speak now.
How do we find the right Warp? I don't even know what you mean by it.
A "Warp" is essentially another realm within the Void. We are currently within a Warp right now. Many Warps appear as a portal, some of those only temporarily. Other Warps may be found in a door to what was once a house, or even a random hole on the ground. Some entries may even lead to different Warps at a time. There are even rumors of Warps that no one can enter. Regardless of the method, however, finding the right Warp is easier said than done.
...We shall begin in the morning.
Wait, I tho-
If you power on before me, you will remain until I awake. If I power on before you, you will be awoken immediately. Don't forget that I will always know where you are.
H-hello? Is anyone here?
Are you lost?
...
...maybe? But...I don't have a place I need to be found, so maybe not.
...I suppose that makes sense. My apologies.
No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make that sound bad.
Well, I don't know where to go here. Or out there.
Maybe down there?
...perhaps.
Though as long as we know each other, and don't fear each other, we may as well see together.
...
...Mezzo, if something happened, do you think you could handle it?
Hm?
Oh, like if someone mean tried to hurt us?
Well, I have you now. We can help each other...
...
...Mezzo, I'll never try to leave you. I promise that.
...but...let's say something happened to me. That I didn't mean to happen.
Would you still feel like you could handle it?
Well...
...I do have something to protect me. I've had it for a long time.
...I've had to use it to keep mean things away...
...I think I can do it.
And...if something happens, and I can't find you...I'll try to find you again.
...
...Get up.
Wh... Oh. Right. Right. We were gonna find that Teleporter, right?
...That was the plan. But while I was in Sleep Mode, I've come to a realization.
Is it that we're both equal as individuals and that you shouldn't be pushing me around like I'm a servant?
Don't get your hopes up, runt.
The Void is a dangerous place. Only those with great strength- both physically and mentally- can survive out here. If you falter for even a moment, it will lead you to your demise... And even THAT would be merciful.
...Fight me.
H-huh!?
If you can get me to fight at least somewhat seriously, it'll be proof enough that you can handle whatever lies in store. I'm not going to protect you like some defenseless baby. If you want to survive, you need to be able to defend yourself.
(...I mean, I suppose I was able to fight off that Prism guy*.)
(Yeah... And maybe I could earn Commander Beta's respect! I can do this!)
Alright, tough guy! If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll ge
...Pathetic, as I have predicted. Looks like I'll have to whip you into shape, or you'll NEVER make it out there.


YOU'RE NOT HIM, WHERE IS HE?!?!
WHERE?! WHERE DID YOU PUT MINE?!
You know, it just occurred to me...
I have no idea where the hell I'm goin'!
WOAH GIANT FLOWER
I mean, I've seen giant flowers in video games, but not in real life, and no offense, but they usually only had one mouth.
Again, no offense, but I don't know if that's a riddle, or whatever. Anyway, I'm looking for this "Enchanter's Lounge" place, do you happen to have any idea where that is?
Not enough. Hit it harder. HARDER.
You're being too slow. Pick up the pace!
But you're very heavy... And much taller than me...
_Maybe it wouldn't be a problem if you weren't so weak. Now, keep going!
You're not blocking. You need to BLOCK.
You're punching faster than I can react!
The entire point is faster reflexes. If you don't want to get hit, then react faster.
Ha, eat THAT! A perfect shot!
We're robots, dumb
, of COURSE it'd be a perfect shot. You were supposed to BLOW IT UP.
Oh. Uh, okay, just...
...Did it seriously take you that much power to destroy that thing?
SERIOUSLY!?
Did it really take you this long to do ONE lap?
Well, it's not like I knew my way around, let alone know this place well enough to take a lap around it.
No excuses. Now, go again.
That was even worse than last time. Surely you don't intend to die here, do you?
Maybe if you weren't such an a-
GAH!
Care to repeat that, you weak little worm?
Nothing, I said nothing!
We will rest. When I awaken, we will be doing this again and again, until you're not this much of a pathetic WHELP.
...
Is-is-is it cold or just-jus-just me?
Do you have any way to warm yourself?
...There is o-one thing in the b-b-bag. Could...could you grab the heat spray? It should be a white cylinder. Just unscrew the lid and just hand it over p-please.
Oh don't use that one. That one's just a Blank Bomb-and you activated it.
!
You-you should see the look on your face right now! Kekek-
...
Oh come on Filewalker. It's just a joke...I mean, don't you know what jokes are.
Course I do.
Then laugh.
Danger isn't exactly something worth laughing at.
*sigh* Right, forgot I was traveling with someone serious enough to give Grandest Guardian a run for their money.
...
...
...Hey that's no-...
Hmph.
What's this stuff anyways?
Oh it's just coolant. Now I really am c-c-cold.
This one a bomb too?
Now that one...is actually a-
Behind you!
!
Careful now! Don't you-
Say...You two look like you need a ride. I mean, look at yourself, shivering like that!
...We'll be fine for now. Tha-
We would appreciate that very much!
Uh Princess, may I-
No you may not.
...
Oh come on, you know I'm just messing with ya.
She seems awfully nice and I’m sure for you it beats traveling in the dark. Besides, if this Defibs* Knight's a bad byte, you can just like...fight her or something.
...And if I'm unable to defeat her?
Then teleport us out of there or something, just come ooooonnnn.
...Where ya heading?
Hmm...seems my cargo's heading wortin by 200 degrees K-Side.
Oh that's convenient! That's exactly where we need to go!
Well come on then!
What direction is that? Like, just pointing near it.
Don't know. :)
See, I don't bite! Name's Sama by the way, yours?
...Filewalker.
