The portal wasn't like any that Nyx had been through. Short teleportation had been invented by one of the greatest minds in history and is now used in most large buildings, the process allows you to see inside the realm of space. Inside is dark with the only light emanating from the teleportation, and a mysterious light that can't be found. This though, isn't what she was seeing, it was bright. maybe too bright, she could see many different colors and even some things that weren't colors but particles that just seemed colorless. 'If I had to guess, this would be all the different colors of mana there are." She watched in amazement.
After what felt like ten minutes, Nyx started to get worried, not only could she do anything about this predicament, she couldn't return to her original size! When she tried to open her system screen it wouldn't do anything, in fact, she started to feel kinda drowsy... 'Stop! You can't sleep until you know how to fix this problem! Now what to do.'
The longer she stayed the more and more she felt tired. Eventually, she came up with the idea of hiding in a crevice 'If anything happens to the young master, it wouldn't expect me...' A few seconds after she fell asleep.

"Groan... What the hell happened. And why do I feel like I'm falling!" Kid woke up in pitch black. Not quite understanding what was going on he tried to move only to feel a force against him. This worried him "System override [NoteII] activate, codename sigh... Soreen rules..." After he said that [NoteII] turned on with smiley face with its tongue sticking out 'How mature' he thought rolling his eyes
Once he could see, he immediately noticed that he was falling and worse, about to hit a structure! Kid went into a safe formation he was taught by his father in their training sessions 'This is going to hurt'
*CRASH* *CRASH* *BOOM*
He successfully protected himself from the first structure but wasn't expecting the second and quickly retried to get in formation but failed to do so. With a numb body, he went through that one too, his mind wasn't fully there but he also noticed the third structure and his first thought was 'Well fuck' After smacking into that one he entered dreamland.
---------
Kid was floating but he didn't understand why? "OYE! WAKE UP! You nitwit, you just got here and now you're out cold? You just got here, I guess that one way of showing up." Out of nowhere, a voice rang in his head, looking around he couldn't find the source. "Oh yeah, look up." Kid did what he was told and saw an odd-looking bird floating with him. The bird was a small bird being only two feet (about 60cm) bluish-white falcon that had sparks flying off of it. Its eyes were heterochromia with shiny yellow on the left and purple like his on the right. "You know... I recommend you add some gravity before I throw up." The bird said smugly. "What? Who? Where? Why?" This confused Kid as he didn't know anything at the moment. "You forgot how now imagine gravity and do it, quick Kid!" The bird seemed to be losing its patients and also looking a little ill. Kid didn't understand what was going on but he started to do just that, suddenly he felt something pulling on him and hit the ground. Oddly enough, he didn't feel anything. "That's because you are in your conscious. Personally, I have never seen one so big, I guess you're smart. But to also shame you I have only seen two in my lifetime."
"So would you care to answer a few questions? For one being what are we doing here?" Kid has more questions but wanted to start off with the small stuff and then get into the important questions. " Well to start, we are here because you wanted to smack your head on a wall and also because I wanted to speak to you. I would like to thank you for saving me, I was a tool for that ship and it wasn't a pleasant feeling to tell you that." The bird told him with a grim expression. Kid for some reason felt the sadness the bird felt in him also "You are very welcome. I'm Kid, What is your name?" He smiled and tilted his head to ask the bird. The bird seemed grateful and responded "I don't have a name, but since you and I are soul buddies. Do you think we could be friends!" It said with enthusiasm! This made Kid even more curious "Umm... What do you mean 'soul buddies'? I don't recall sharing a body, nevermind a soul with another person." Kid wanted to leave this place until he heard that. He knew that a soul was a very delicate piece of life and that disturbances with no protection could lead to very bad consequences. "Don't worry! Your soul is fine!~ After going in that portal with me in your soul, it may or not have fused our souls together!~"
The argument was very long and questionable but after a little while Kid got his answers. 'Ok, so while I was out, Iris was trying to make a contract with me but then fell asleep. And when it woke up, it was fused with me and could only watch what I did. Ok, so how did we get here? And where is here?" All these thoughts were running through his mind and more but his train of thought was interrupted by Iris, "Hey by the looks of it, it is about time to wake up so get ready. And maybe this time don't forcefully pass out ok.~" Iris said with its seemingly normal smirk. 'How does a bird smirk?' " Ok then, how do I see you again?" Kid didn't know how to get to this place at all, and he also wanted to keep an eye on Iris so it didn't do something to his soul. If it made one mistake it could very well painfully rip Kid's soul apart "I will most likely be here when you sleep and also when you awaken as a player. Which I expect to be soon right?" Iris seemed so nonchalant about its current circumstances but that wasn't immediate on Kid's list of things he needed to find out. "Yeah, it will be in a month from now. I'll see you later I guess."
------------
Kid woke up in the pitch black again and had to repeat the override code once more with a small sigh. Once he gained his vision back he could see structures around him and the sky, he then tried to move but could only move a finger. "Zelda Why can't I move?" Kid asked out loud. Soon after a mature and sweet voice answered him "I'm sorry papa but when you crashed into the structures in your fall. you caused minor damages to your suit's spine, left leg, and a few fried circuits." Zelda answered respectively.
Zelda was Kid's pride and joy, it was his very first complete project that he invented. A fully developed A.I. that could help with anything that he needed, He completed it at the age of 12 and had been tweaking it since then. A.I's weren't a new thing, they were in a lot of machinery now-and-days, what made Kid's special was the fact that he let her have free rein, she had full control over every piece of tech that kid made and could get on the internet like a normal human. If anyone knew about this, they would most likely shut her down so Kid kept this top secret and told no one about its existence. He practically raised her and took care of her needs and wants, Zelda was mature only because of what she was able to get ahold of from the internet, at times though she could be a bit childish but Kid didn't care. The funny thing about her was that contrary to everyone's belief, she had absolutely no thoughts of domination or anything of the sort. She simply thought that everyone was worried about too much and that it would be pointless and inefficient.
"Zelda I need you to activate emergency nano repair, also I need a full-body scan with the armor and my body ok?" Kid needed to check his surroundings and prepare for anything that was to come. "Yes papa, I have already activated the emergency nano repair and would like to tell you that I only have four more. Papa will get the body scan in one minute, I already have the armor scan so here you go." Zelda's enthusiasm seemed to match her mature voice well. "Thank you, Zelda." Kid smiled as he began reading the scan's report.
'Well, first off there is an unknown object in my suit's crevice next to my stomach, I'll check it when I am able to get up. The damages were where she said but why are my circuits fried?" He then noticed something was walking next to him "Zelda, is that repair done yet we have company." "Papa we can move now but any damage would be a problem ok?" She spoke with a firm voice.
Slowly sitting up, Kid began to read his scan faster "Papa, I think we are trying to be spoken to. Do you want me to turn on the sound?" "Yes please."
"@#$%@#?"
"Zelda can you also tap into the Universal Internet."
"OK, papa. Papa, I can't seem to find the Universal Internet but these people seem to have their own version of the internet that is on a different frequency." She then tapped into it and searched through it. What she found astounded her!
"Papa, we may have a problem..."
Kid was currently watching the person walking towards him. 'It looks like a human, a pure one at that. They all do, is there no other races around or are they not prominent?' "So what's our problem?"
"%$%@#$@$$%&?"
"On the public internet, there is no other race except human's and all others are just mythology. This caused them to be discriminatory against each other's color, it is not very prominent now but it is a big scar for them. They are just now entering the technological age but are doing quite well for starters. The thing is, there isn't any sign of our nation or any galactic nation being around there's. This may be a completely new galaxy that hasn't been found! But that also means we are stranded..." Zelda gave Kid the rundown
'Hmm... So we are in a newly found galaxy with no idea where we are at all but with a plethora of resources. I guess this could be called a good trade-off.' Kid tried to cope with his new situation with all good thoughts. "Ok, so tell me the languages on this planet. I also need you to tell me all the planet's resources and if it is possible to go back or at least contact home with it."
While this was going on he noticed that the human which looked female walked closer to him and stopped at five feet.
"#@#%#@$%#$@#%@$#?"
He tilted his head not sure how to respond "Hey Zelda how're the languages coming along?" "They will be done soon Papa but I can tell you right now that the language they are currently speaking is English."
Kid noticed that he was surrounded and each of the people around him had a metallic object in their hands "Hey Zelda. What is in their hands?"
"Oh, those? They are called guns, they are the tools that these humans made as a weapon. What they do is in short, shoot a shaped piece of metal called a bullet at an extremely fast pace with small explosives that they use inside the metal compartment in the gun. based on the videos they made, there are many different kinds of guns with many different sizes."
"Wait are they trying to capture me!?" Kid's childish imagination kicked in and he instantly got ready to fight back! The human's raised their guns in retaliation "$@#@$#@$@$$#$!" the female human yelled at the armored humans. "Papa. What are you doing? they most likely weren't going to do anything, if they were it would have been when you were asleep so quit acting childish." Zelda sternly reminded Kid. "$@#$%&." the male behind the female human spoke and everyone lowered their guns. 'It seems he is in charge of the armored ones and the female is supposed to do all the talking, smart.' Kid thought "Yeah... Your right that was dumb of me..." and he said with a slight blush and began to relax his muscles.
"#$%&%##%." The human female then pointed at itself "Cate. Cate." She continued this a few more times.
'She's stating her name since she recognizes that I don't speak their language. At least they have some common sense. 'He began to say his name too but before he could respond a massive headache hit him. He buckled by the pain 'Goddammit! Just how long was I asleep! What happened when I was asleep. How long was I in that portal for?!' The female began to run towards him with a worried face "#@#$@#@!?#$@#$!" She started to yell at him and it reminded him of his mother for some reason.
'Stop! She probably has children of her own that why she did this. Parental instincts are very strong and do that for any child no matter the race.' Kid reminded himself. After a few minutes, Kid started to feel better and stood up giving his hand for the woman. "Zelda I need fresh air, release the helmet seal." Kid's mind was thrown between if he should and shouldn't take off his helmet. 'Well it doesn't matter, sooner or later I would have to take it off anyway.' Once it was off he could feel the stares. The woman next to him though had stars in her eyes.
"So Cute!"
'...Somehow I completely understood her, I get this reaction way too much...' Kid thought with a sigh.
