Baby Steps

[Schwi Dola]

"Um, that's right! Desco should introduce Desco. Um, ahh." Desco was caught off guard by the question. Usually a Final Boss introduced themselves very well, but she wasn't feeling quite herself yet. "Desco is Desco! She's a.. Final Boss.." She looked away. "But Desco lost all of her power. She can't fight now.." Desco looked back towards the direction she came from, to the fight that was going on. "Desco can't help.."

[Guu]

Guu, considering her current situation, could relate with Desco's power loss. She'd felt kind of naked without them this whole time herself. She didn't know what this final boss business was about, though she figured it makes sense in context.

She looked in the direction Desco was looking and saw the fight breaking out. Then she looked at Desco and back to the fight, and back to Desco and back to the fight.

Did the outcome to that fight mean something to her? Well, if she's feeling as helpless as Guu has for a past day or so...

She walks up to Desco and puts one of her noodle arms on her shoulder, and remembers one of the wisdoms that passed through her head in the water not too long ago.

"If you want to help with the fight, then you should." She said, her voice sounding slightly less sarcastic than usual, "Even if all you do is be a cheerleader, every little bit helps, no matter how small."

[Guu]

Guu saw Desco contemplating what she had just said. Guu busted out her Dataverse device and starts surfing, sitting down on the edge of the fountain close to Desco.

"Then again, you have no responsibility for what goes on here as of yet, I'm guessing you just got here like I did." she said with a heavy sigh. "Just go with whatever makes you happy I guess."

Guu aims her device at Desco, followed by the digital sound of a camera shutter, then goes back to surfing the dataverse.

[Guu]

Guu looked up from her dataverse device after writing a scathing review of the Nexus and noticed that Desco had bolted towards the battle.

Well, probably should make sure she doesn't die.

Guu crams the dataverse device down her maw, gets on her feet, and runs after Desco. Because of her speed she easily caught up, however keeping a bit of a distance.

Probably should spectate and see how this goes...

[Cloud Strife]

Neku had threatened him, as if he were some monster that was just going to hurt Desco. It wasn’t in his nature to hurt a little girl, it just wasn’t. But it was understandable, Neku’s action that is. If they all had come from different universes, then in Neku’s universe, Reapers were different, they were monsters. Nyeseth wasn’t one of those reapers, he only helped people.

As Neku glared at him, Nyeseth glared back, well… up at him from the ground, but it was the same either way. As he watched Neku and Rand walk off, he looked at Desco who was still in front of him. Nyeseth laughed at the situation, at his own stupidity. He’d thought that Desco needed protecting, and that may be true, but she’s still just as useful in a fight. He hadn’t realised that if he was here, anyone else that had appeared at the fountain must be just as useful as he was.

‘Hey… uh… Pink, what’s your name?’ Nyeseth asked, referring to the small pink haired girl and cutting his laugh short as he sat up, sheathing his sword as he did so. He sat forward, and almost slumped over, using his sword and sheath to catch himself and hold himself up at the same time, it wasn’t that he needed it, but it just made it less of a hassle in all of this exhaustion.

[Guu]

Guu swung around to face Nyeseth, giving him a gentle but kind of bashful smile, her eyes shimmering a little bit. It was so sickeningly cute he could barely notice that she’s not wearing her Sherlock Holmes costume anymore and seems to have vanished when no one was looking.
Nervously shuffling her feet, she tilts her head downward, averting eye contact from Nyeseth.
“I’m Guu.” She said, her voice sounding soft and meek. She spoke again, but it all came out way too fast and quiet; quickly degenerating into a inaudible mumble six words in.
“I’m a cute little girl who’s not really a cute little girl but a trickster goddess in disguise though I guess I’m just a little girl now thanks to Omni, though don’t think I won’t prank you anyways. It will be fun as hell.”
She makes an audible gulp, then turns to look Nyeseth in the eyes.
“Sorry, I tend to get shy around strangers when I’m not playing detective…” She outstretches a hand to shake. “It’s nice to meet you.”

[Cloud Strife]

The little girl spoke with an uncomfortable tone, yet her voice was still oddly childlike. The little girl gave her name, Guu. It was an odd name, but he’d seen stranger names before. Guu continued her explanation that seemed to get faster and more jumbled with each word, he was only able to catch the phrase ‘I’m a cute little girl’ before it became an inaudible jumble of what he believed to be words. The little girl held out her hand, something that was not common among little children, her sophisticated, yet childlike nature confused him a little.

‘Well… Guu… It’s nice to meet you, I would shake your hand, but right now, I’m holding myself up with my sword and it requires two hands.’ Nyeseth smiled as he turned to Desco.

‘Desco, what do you want to do from here? I can’t go anywhere for a small time, but as soon as I can, we can get going.’ Nyeseth asked as he examined the girl, she said she was a demon, did that mean she was a Hollow? He couldn’t see the hole in her chest, so he was sure she wasn’t his enemy. He felt as though he could trust her, and more importantly, like he had to protect her, and now this new girl as well.

[Guu]

Guu retracted her hand, as she now acted upon taking notice of his injuries.
“Oh no! You’re wounded!” She exclaimed, looking at his cuts and burns more thoroughly. “Please take it easy. I’ll go get some supplies rounded up!”
She runs off to the fountain. She spends the next 15-30 minutes summoning things. She summons a tiny hut with a medical cross on it. She summons a little mattress. She summons a medical kit and a set of medical tools. She summons a nurse’s cap which she dons on her head. She summons a bunch of rubber medical tools for reasons to come. Repeatedly, she’d focus and that familiar ball of omnilium would come out of her, bringing a new item into the world. And just as quick as the item appeared, she would rush it to it’s rightful place and start focusing on the next. She was in her own little zone at this point and was completely ignoring Nyeseth and Desco, whom she was doing this within full sight of.

[Schwi Dola]

Desco followed along with the others. While Guu was apparently trained in the medical field, Mr. Samurai asked a question that Desco couldn't answer right away. Desco dismissed Yogsothoth as she answered him. The many tentacles demon body that was a part of Desco simply started to fade without warning. He was no longer needed as Desco was not in combat. "Desco doesn't know."

Similarly, Desco withdrew her tail, the long thing slithered backwards under her dress lowering her to the ground on her own two feet. Her eyes drifted up as she thought about the question. What were they going to do now? All of them were dragged here against their will. What did their would be captor expect for them to do.

Sitting at his desk, Genjuro absently drank coffee as he stared at a shifting blue screen filled with technical data on his latest battlesuits. Dressed in his usual white lab coat the scientist was almost always in some kind of lab work. But something beeped and an email came up. The nanobots he designed watching the newcomers at the fountain had sent him a picture of his darling little daughter Desco. "Oh, I didn't expect to find her so soon!" The time that had passed was lost on the scientist as he buried himself in his new work in this fascinating new universe.

Another email popped up matching a picture of Desco on a twitter on the dataverse. Genjuro popped off a quick reply and sent another message out to the Prinny assigned to wait at the fountain prepared with gifts should one of Genjuro's daughters show up in the Omniverse.

-=Desco=-

A Prinny approached the group. He had a job to do and it was an unusually easy one. Not like the jobs Master Etna used to make him do. "Hey Doods, you are Desco right? I was told to give this to you Dood!" Prinny held out a small backpack, clearly designed to go with Desco's look.

Desco turned to look at the Prinny, surprised more in seeing that he was delivering something to her than that he was here. Prinnys were very common in Hades. Desco automatically took the backpack. "A delivery for Desco?" "The backpack isn't all dood, there is a dataverse device and a communicator inside, dood!"

Desco put down the backpack and knelt down to it. She unzipped the backpack and pulled out the two devices. The communicator immediately lit up and displayed a video stream of a middle aged man wearing a lab coat. Desco's face practically lit up to the image. "It's Daddy~!" "There's my little Girl! How's my favorite daughter doing?" "Desco made some new friends! But Desco lost all of her power. Why did that happen, daddy?" Desco's voice quickly shifted from happy tones to sad tones as she concisely described what happened so far.

"Well you see Desco this Omni entity that you met on your way here changes everyone that he brings. Because you were so strong most of your functionality probably went away. But don't worry! Your functions are written into your genes so I'm sure that your powers will return eventually. You might even get some new ones!" Desco didn't even question how her father had found her, why he'd give her stuff via Prinny, or that he might be here in the Omniverse. In fact, That he was here and not on Earth simply didn't cross Desco's mind, he'd made holograms in the netherverse from Japan before.

[Cloud Strife]

Nyeseth watched as a weird penguin-like thing approached Desco, bearing gifts, although strange. One seemed to be a communication device of the likes Nyeseth had never seen before, it wasn’t a hell butterfly, but more like a mechanical device, and maybe the research division had developed it? Nyeseth watched as Desco began to speak to someone whom she called ‘Daddy’. This relieved Nyeseth, because it meant she wasn’t a hollow, they didn’t have parents.

‘Putting strange penguin creatures aside, we should really think of what we want to do next.’ Nyeseth confusedly said as he watched Desco with a happy smile. Nyeseth could feel himself slowly healing, it was slow but he could still feel it, something about this place allowed him to heal very slowly over time, without medical attention, albeit he wished he had some medical attention.

[Schwi Dola]

Desco looked over at Nyeseth who had asked what they were going to do. That was a good question. The final boss wanted nothing more than to get as strong as she could as quickly as she could. She looked back at the communicator with her father still on there. "What should Desco do now?"

Genjuro put a hand up to rub his chin, closing his eyes to think about it for a moment. He didn't really know enough about Prime development. All of the data they had suggested that a Prime gained power from a variety of methods varying greatly. Which would be most effective when there could possibly be hundreds of universes pulled into this one was a wild guess at best. "Just do what you normally do Desco. Your functionality should repair itself eventually. Fighting might be good for you but I think developing your comradeship and power of friendship would be just as effective. Oh," Genjuro opened his eyes and put down his hand. "As a Prime chosen by Omni he automatically resurrects you when you die, taking three days. So you don't need to hold back. Those portals you can see from where you are all lead to different worlds too. Well, have fun Desco, daddy needs to get back to work!" "Bye!"

Desco waved as the communication shut off. She slipped the devices back into the backpack and over her shoulders. The prinny that had acted as a delivery service started to wander off doing whatever it was he had decided to do."Uhh, Desco wants to explore!"

[Guu]

"Done setting things up," a nearby bored little voice chimed in.

Guu stands in front of them, donning a nurse's cap. Her social face now long gone, it has returned to the dower expression it usually is as default. She now looks at Nyeseth with those cold black eyes firmly fixed on him, her bored expression not changing in the slightest as she points with her noodle like arm towards the hut she just made.

"Will the patient get in the medical tent." She says, lacking in any emotion what-so-ever.

Then just just stands there looking at Nyeseth as she waits for him to do what she commanded.

[Miranda Frost]

The sands of Hueco Mundo flew around the eighth espada as the garganta leading to the world of the living opened before him. Beyond the portal only darkness was shown, but Seraph knew where to go. All hollows knew where to go. The world in which humans live was simply a giant buffet, but this Espada was above such insignificant action. He knew he would never be satisfied by the souls in that world, so why bother? Instead he left to perform reconnisance in the pacific islands. Appearently a member of Quinto Espada's Fracciones had abandoned his service and hid out on an obscure island of unknown location. He reached down and scooped up a handful of the woeful sand and stood there, letting the wind steal it all away, scattering it to the wind. He stepped into the blackness and shut the portal behind him.

This realm was different from what he remembered. He could know longer move and the darkness seemed even darker than usual. In fact, Seraph could not move at all. A white figure appeared and spoke to him, about how he couldn't move and that he was actually being transported to another world. Seraph stopped listening after the "you will be reborn blah blah" His curious mind was not satisfied with his own world any more! With the knowlege of a thousand realms, he could be unstoppable. He waited until the ground could be felt beneath his feet and the darkness gave way to light. No, not light, but whitness. He stood before a simple fountain, but he could not sense anything from it. He couldn't sense his own self. He felt blind in a way. He drew his blade and observed it through the eye holes of his mask, but its color was not definite. It faded from a black to a white color and back again, continuing to shift color like a slow pulse. Peculiar. This could only mean that day and night did not exist here. It was... constant. He looked around him seeing only whiteness and began walking in a direction.

It wasn't long before he came across a small group of three: a small child, a hollow/arrancar-appearing creature, and an injured shinigami. He walked toward the group with a smile beneath his wooden mask. "Hello there! What manner of creatures might you be.... except for that shinigami there I already know what he is." He looked over him a little closer and chuckled. He lacked a patch and a Haori, meaning he was simply just a regular seated or even unseated member. Buuut as he could not gauge his spiritual pressure, he couldn't be sure he was niether of these ranks.

[Cloud Strife]

Nyeseth turned to see himself confronted by Guu, she donned a nurse’s cap as she glared at him with a seemingly unemotional face.
‘What happened to your face!?’ Nyeseth exclaimed as he leaned backwards as she approached him. It hadn’t hit him yet, but, he wasn’t going anywhere fast if he was going to just lie on the floor the whole time. He looked back at Guu. Her eyes were now a cold black and had thin outlines around them, which he assumed were what passed for her eyelids. It freaked him out, and as he continued looking a wave of cold shivers were sent down his spine. Not much could unnerve a Soul Reaper, losing touch with their zanpakuto spirit was one, and if anything in this world was going to do it, it was seeing this little girl’s expression for the first time.

‘You want me to go in there… with you… oh fine…’ Nyeseth sighed unhappily as they were interrupted by a voice. Nyeseth turned to see a man with a mask over his face. He also wore a white coat that almost reached the floor as he stood. He knew Nyeseth was a shinigami, which meant they came from the same world. Nyeseth kept his eyes on him, that wooden mask of his reminded him of a hollow, or worse yet, an Arrancar.

‘I’ve fought Arrancar before, even killed a few, but this one’s different…’ Nyeseth thought to himself as he strapped his sword and sheath to his left hip, leaving his right hand on the sword’s handle.
‘My name is Nyeseth, this is Desco.’ Nyeseth explained as he pointed to the small girl with a purple dress. ‘And this is Guu.’ He said as he pointed at the little girl behind him, she was still wearing the nurse hat. Nyeseth was being careful, if he was an Arrancar, then he could go two ways about Nyeseth being a Soul Reaper, he would either not have the urge to kill Nyeseth, or have an uncontrollable urge to kill Nyeseth, and Nyeseth had to be ready for the latter.

[Schwi Dola]

Desco looked at the newcomer and looked back at Nyeseth as he introduce them. He called Nyeseth something strange, a Shinigami. Which meant Death, sort of, in Japanese. Desco naturally recognized the word, but Nyeseth had called himself a Soul Reaper before. They could mean the same thing. Desco bowed slight to the newcomer. Nyeseth didn't answer one thing. "I am Desco! Desco is an artificial Demon. Who are you?"

[Guu]

Guu stands there, looking into Nyeseth’s soul. He started to do what she ordered, but he suddenly stopped and turned away.
For every second he wasn’t heading towards the tent as commanded, she would get more and more agitated. He reached to grasp his sword, she’s mad. He looks distrustful at a random direction, she’s even madder. He says her name while pointing at her, absolutely livid.
Nyeseth’s head suddenly felt the impact of Guu’s fist lightly hitting the side of his head as she had finally lost all her patience.
“What part of get to the medical tent did you not hear?” Guu stated, sounding bored but slightly angry. “Don’t you know when a nurse tells you do something, you’re supposed to…”
It was around this point that she noticed the masked figure Nyeseth was talking to. Still not used to her senses apparently…
She rushed in front of the stranger, her eyes suddenly becoming wide and expressive and a big old adorable smile on her face.
“Hello! I’m Guu! Nice to meet you! I’m…” She started talking in a sickeningly sweet voice but slowly shifting back into her monotone voice with her face sinking back into her default. “…too tired to keep that up anymore.”
She scanned him with her giant black eyes, taking extra notice on the hat and the mask.
“Never been a fan of Zorro, sorry. I’m sure the cosplay is nice.”
She noticed Desco standing next to her. Really got to work on using her senses. She un-compiled her mind and dug up whatever she may have heard from her subconscious.
‘Shingami… Right, the guy said Nyeseth was a Shinigami. Gods of Death… does he love apples?’ She thought to herself. ‘Well, he might be mistaken considering Nyes is a Soul Reaper, so another misunderstanding in the works here.’
“Like I said, I’m Guu,” she said, “I’m a cute little girl.”
She glares at the masked stranger until he responds.

[Miranda Frost]

Seraph took in all the reactions given to his abrupt appearance and paced around formulating a proper response to their response. He walked around over to the obviously injured shinigami and ruffled up his hair, hoping to relieve that tensity he probably felt. Seraph wanted a fight, but not against one as weakened as he. "Chill man, right now you should be worrying about this cute adorable little girl right here. Why don't you two just go play doctor for a while and get some rest", he said with a chuckle shifting away from the shinigami to turn his attention to the hollow-like female artificial demon beside him.

He stood and bowed in respect to the bow given to him, a formality that he liked to perform. "Ah M'lady! My name is Seraph, but you all may call me whatever you'd like... as long as its in good tastes. From my world, I am the Octava Espada, an organization of beings known as Arrancars". He rose from his bow and tilted his hat over his mask while he massaged his hands. "So... learn anything of this timeless place?", Seraph asked, his white gloved hand toying with the hilt of his blade.

"Also... do all demons from your world appear as you do? I've never seen one before", he also asked earnestly in curiosity, imagining a city of Desco-like demons commuting on a daily basis. It was an amusing thought

[Guu]

Before Nyeseth could say anything, he felt himself being lifted into the air. He looked around and noticed that it was Guu. She had wrapped her arms around him and was lifting him above her head.
“It’s time for your appointment. Kekeke” She exclaimed with a creepy smile, carrying him to the medical hut. The face made him panic, struggling violently against the tentacles holding him in the air. However, the fear combined with his weakened state kept him from breaking free.
As she approached the hut, she laid him down carefully, unraveling her arms before she runs off. Nyeseth was a bit light headed from the trip. As soon as he started to get things together, Guu showed up again. In her left noodle arm was a random assortment of medical items; all shoved together in a ball, balancing on the tip of her hand. Balancing on the tip of Guu’s right arm was a scalpel.
Nyeseth takes one look of the scalpel and starts vigorously kicking his legs to push himself away from the crazy nurse. Guu, upon noticing his reaction, responds.
“Just kidding.” She promptly shoves the rubber scalpel, along with her entire hand, down her throat.
Nyeseth starts to scream silently at this as his entire body freezes in terror. It’s around this point that Guu punches him in the stomach out of annoyance from the faces he was making, which compounded by everything, was enough to cause him to faint.
As he came two again, his stomach and head throbbing from the abuse, Guu had finished bandaging him.
“There, good as new.” She said, in a tone to suggest this was all a waste of time. “Rest here until you’re better. Or else.”
Guu throws her nurse’s hat on the ground and runs off; leaving Nyeseth alone to his thoughts.

[Cloud Strife]

Nyeseth felt as if he'd just been raped, but then began to think if he could even ccall it rape if it was by a little girl. He wasn't sure he would even get better, with all the abuse he'd just taken. If he didn't do what Guu wanted, then she'd probably kill him before any enemy could. He was still worried about that Arrancar that showed up, he could cause a lot of damage, and this bothered Nyeseth.

[Schwi Dola]

This Seraph guy asked an odd question. So far nobody Desco has met, including Seraph, looked all that unusual to her. Unusual was normal for Demons who varied from dragons to plants to being mistaken for humans. But there weren't that many that looked like Desco. "Uhh, Demons come in all shapes and sizes in Hades. There are Dragons, Penguins, Plants, Ninjas, Catgirls, lots of kinds of Demons. Desco is the only one that looks like Desco, except for DesX who looks like Desco too because Desco was the prototype model for DesX."
