START OF STORY...
A young man appears to be sleeping in a place of darkness. He is yet to become something interesting to this existence. A spotlight shines slowly upon him as he wakes up in this empty void.
Vincentalot-XD:*yawns*Man... that was a good sleep. Huh? Um, guys...? Hello? Where did everyone go? More importantly, where did I go? Talking to myself isn’t gonna solve anything.
Vincentalot-XD gets up from the invisible ground and starts walking forward. As Vincent kept walking, all he could see was black while the spotlight followed wherever he went. While walking, he felt like he was being followed so he looked around but there was nothing. So he decided to continue walking through this empty void.
Vincent: ... Alright I had enough! Show yourself! Cause if you don’t, I’m gonna beat the shit out of you. Come on now!
In the darkness, two red eyes opened. This dark figure was hiding behind a dark wall. All it did was stare at Vincent with curiosity.
Vincent: Well?
Vincent walked towards the red eyes. It then vanished.
Vincent: Hey wait! What the, wasn’t there a wall here just now?
Out of nowhere, another spotlight shines upon what appears to be some sort of control stand with only the symbol of XD on it. Vincent had no idea what it was and decided to put his hand on it. The stand reacted and sank on the floor to disappear. Suddenly, the entire surrounding enlightens to a vast sky and an ocean. The floor appears to be transparent but Vincent can feel the water while standing above it.
Vincent: Welp, I guess I’m dead. Bye, guys, the story is over. See you never.
The one with red eyes reappeared and is now fully visible except that its body is completely black with the red eyes. The figure appears to be a girl floating above the ground. It approached Vincent from behind and looked at him. Vincent then turns around, slightly surprising the girl.
Vincent: Oh hello there. Is this where people go when they die?
The girl was silent and just looked at Vincent.
Vincent: Ah, I guess I got no rizz then.
The girl gently grabbed Vincent’s hand and just looked at it.
Vincent: What? Do you want to do a handshake? Bruh I don’t even know who you are so give me my hand back!
Vincent takes his hand back. The girl starts looking somewhere else.
Vincent: If you got nothing to say, I’ll be on my way now.
As Vincent walks away, the girl follows. Vincent realizes and tries to stop and walk from time to time. But the girl still follows. Vincent then became annoyed and tried to make the girl go away but she just stayed silent and kept following Vincent.
Vincent: Bruh. Is this supposed to be my punishment after death? Some random dark girl that follows me everywhere I go? What the hell man?
Vincent continued walking in this endless void until something else showed up. Vincent encounters three floating entities who have triangular warning signs as their heads.
Vincent: What the freak are those?
WARNING SIGN ENTITIES ART
One of the entities threw a warning sign that indicated “Wet Floor”. It hit Vincent and the floor around him started to become slippery and so he slipped. After a few slips, Vincent managed to get up and jumped at one of the entities. He punched it but nothing happened. The entity then hits Vincent with a warning sign that indicates “Strong Winds”. Vincent was blown away by a strong gust of winds. He crash-landed near the girl.
Vincent: Ow... Why aren’t my punches working? And what’s with those attacks? Hey, you’re from here right? Surely you should know what to do right?
The girl then reveals a very long dark weapon. Then it reaches her hand out, trying to get Vincent to grab her hand.
Vincent: Um... Ok...
Vincent then grabs her hand. He then starts feeling a strange power in him. The XD symbols appeared on both of his fists. The girl lets go of his hand and points at the entities.
Vincent: I guess we strike now. YAAAAHHHH!!!
Vincent runs to one of the entities while he dodges its attacks. The girl also flies to one of the entities while evading the attacks as well.
Vincent: Breaking Storm!
Vincent inflicts multiple punches. The entity was sent flying and then exploded to death.
The girl swings the long weapon and hits the entity like a golf club. The entity was sent flying upward and then exploded to death.
Vincent: Alright, there’s still one more! Lez go!
The entity threw a warning sign to the girl that indicated “No Fly Zone”. The girl was pulled to the ground and couldn’t fly. Vincent then charges forward and removes the XD symbols on both fists. Three layers of XD symbols appeared below his right foot.
Vincent: Three Layers... XD-Fying Stomp!
Vincent stomped the last entity on its face and knocked it back. It exploded upon impact.
Vincent: Nice! They’re dead now.
The girl starts floating and approaches Vincent.
Vincent: What were those things? Are they like your enemy or something?
The girl just silently looks at Vincent.
Vincent: Again, I still have no rizz. Hey, wait a second... If I can use my powers and feel like this is real, I’m not dead right? Hm... So where am I?
The Girl: ...
Vincent:*Sigh*
Vincent starts walking and the girl follows as usual.
Vincent: Okay this has to stop. What’s your problem huh? Like what are you?
The Girl: ...
THE MYSTERIOUS DARK GIRL ART
Vincent gets annoyed.
Vincent: Look, if you wanna help me, get me out of this fucking place.
The Girl: ...
Vincent: I just realized... Why are you naked?
The Girl: ...
Vincent: Ah, nice answer. So can you get me out of here or just show me the way out?
The Girl: ...
Vincent: BRO, SAY SOMETHING! Oh, I mean... GAL, SAY SOMETHING!
The girl pulls nothing but air with her right hand. From the floor, emerges a mysterious glowing object with the XD symbol on it mixed with another unidentified symbol.
Vincent: The freak is that?
They went closer to take a look.
Vincent: Hey, it’s that XD symbol thing. But it looks weird... Anyways, since you’re the one who summoned it, you did summon it with your hand, right? What’s the point of this?
The girl reaches her hand out once again. Vincent was confused but then held it. The light from the mysterious object starts to brighten the entire void.
Yelisha gently says:Vincent... Vincent?
Vincent: ... Wha- What? Am I still dead?
Tokou: Oh good, he’s finally awake!
Vincent: What happened...?
Yelisha: You slept for twelve hours.
Vincent: Twelve hours? I only need like seven or eight hours of sleep a day.
Yelisha: Perhaps all that fighting and traveling has made you very exhausted.
Tokou: Anyways, that’s not important right now!
Vincent: I’m confused.
Tokou: Vincent check this out. You’re on the news!
Tokou gives the newspaper to Vincent.
Tokou: That’s not all, the best part is that you got your very first wanted poster!
Vincent: Wait really?!
Tokou: “Vincentalot-XD, a new strong venturer who will soon enter The Space of Glory has gained a bounty of One Million Acquired Points(AP)“.
Vincent: WOOHOO! Wait, is that a good thing?
Yelisha: Well, having an official bounty means you are wanted by The Main Government. This means that you’ll be attacked by not just their forces but also random participants like bounty hunters. The higher the bounty means that this person must have done something worse or they must have a reason that makes the government want to capture and execute them.
However, those who gain bounty see this as score ranking or in other words, pride. Since they haven’t been captured yet while creating big reputations around space. And because you are the president of The XD-Fying Team, we are also wanted by the government.
Vincent: You guys got bounties too?
Tokou: Well even though we were mentioned as a group, we never got any posters. Not even Vice Duka.
Vincent: You too?
Vice Duka: I guess the government is trying to make sure if I really am part of your team.
Yelisha: It did say they are still investigating our identities further so we’ll just have to be patient until the government has fully recognized us.
Vincent: I mean, it’s a nice picture though. Who captured it though?
VINCENT’S FIRST WANTED POSTER.
Tokou: Since you just woke up, breakfast is on the table hehe. As a young man in the city, I know how to cook to survive. A Rider King needs to eat too!
Vice Duka: We’ll just be out here with the others.
Tokou: Man! Driving a spaceship is so crazy!
Vincent: Hey Yelisha.
Yelisha: Yes?
Vincent: Can you um, stay here for a moment?
Yelisha: Well of course. What is it that you must ask?
Vincent: How do I put this... So while I was in bed-
Yelisha: You are still in bed.
Vincent: Shut the- I mean sleep. I got up in this dark void and there was this dark figure thing who was following me. It was hiding behind this huge wall but when I got close, it disappeared and there was no wall. Then there was this standing thing and I pressed it with my hand which caused the whole void to show up as some sky and the floor was transparent water and I was walking on it. I guess because I’m a god or something and then this dark figure came back and it was a dark girl with red eyes and these triangular yellow things appeared with goofy ass attacks and this girl popped out a long stick and helped me smack the enemies, also this girl kept stalking me and shit and there was this weird glowy thing with my symbol but it looked weird and the girl made me hold her hand and everything went bright and my eyes where on fire after the cause of that and now I’m here. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a dream cause it felt kind of real, not gonna lie.
Yelisha: Hm...
Vincent: Do you know anything about it?
Yelisha: I would say it could be a dream but if it was real, it must have a meaning behind it. You mentioned a mysterious object with your symbol in it, correct?
Vincent: Yes. But it kind of looked different.
Yelisha: I am not sure of this but... Vincent, you have just met your essence core.
Vincent Wait what?
Yelisha: Usually, an essence core is met with its host consciousness. And it requires time since it is only starting to get used to it. Once it has settled in, you can get in touch with your essence core better.
Vincent: So which one is the essence core exactly?
Yelisha: It should be the one with your symbol in it but I am not sure about this girl. There have been cases of other consciousness within the essence core but scientists believed that it could be linked to the power it possesses since every foundation has its unique system.
Vincent: That’s a lot to think about...
Yelisha: Please do not overthink it, this is your first encounter. It could take time before you get to know your essence core better.
Vincent: Okay. Thanks, Yelisha. Now, let’s eat breakfast. I mean, I eat breakfast...
Yelisha gently laughs.
At The Cockpit...
Exo: I feel sleepy.
Mark: I didn’t know such a creature needed sleep.
Comian: I thought he was a robot.
Exo: Ey! Some robots need sleep too.
Tokou: Man... traveling in space takes forever.
Exo: It’s not my fault that this ship is slow. Especially with it’s current conditions.
Tokou: Hey Vice Duka, if we’re wanted now, shouldn’t we be under attack?
Vice Duka: Well, first of all, the government has no idea where our current location is, second is that they always have their hands full, and third is that Vincent’s bounty is currently low. I’ve seen bounties much higher than his. But we should be safe for now. We just have to be careful whenever we make our moves.
Yelisha comes out of the bedroom and goes into the small laboratory. She then opens her PSI and sets the whole place for her own.
Tokou:*Sigh*I’m bored.
Comian: Yeah, me too.
Exo: I’m gonna go to bed. I need to sleep.
Tokou: W-Wait! We need you here.
Exo: Eh, you got this. Besides, those two also know how to fly a spacecraft.
Exo goes into the bedroom and Vincent goes out at the same time.
Mark: He is right. There is no need to fear. But this kind of ship seems more manual than ours. I never driven a ship that uses a wheeled landing gear before.
Comian: Me neither.
Vincent: So, how long will it take before we get to Planet Bozo 69?
Tokou: It’s Planet Psycho 6. It’s still about two days and a half before we get there.
Vincent: Oh hell naw man.
Tokou: And we’re all bored. Also, my ears hurt. What’s been making that noise?
Mark: It must be the ship’s engine. The ship is really not in a good condition.
Tokou: Ugh! How can I bear this? Vincent, let me borrow those headphones for a second.
Tokou tiredly tried to grab Vincent’s headphones but he stepped back and Tokou fell on the floor.
Vincent: No way man. Even these headphones don’t block those noise.
Tokou: They don’t?
Vincent: For me, but I guess they work for others.
Tokou: Let me borrow it then.
Vincent: No.
Tokou: Uuuggghhh!
Vice Duka: Vincent, where did you get those headphones?
Vincent: This? I guess I could talk about it.
