Chapter 5 - A Request For Help

"So, now that I have finished my story, let us talk about you," Luna's voice continued to ring in both their heads. "If I'm right, you must be Tiana Tatsuya, correct?"

"Huh!" Jenny reacted in surprise wondering how she knew. "Umm… uhh… you must be mistaken… hahaha…."

"What do you mean? There's no way she's my beloved Tiana. Tiana's hair is smoother and cleaner than this girl's," Videl immediately jumped into the conversation. "Besides, Tiana doesn't have boobs that big."

Videl then harumphed and crossed her arms to show she was being serious after pointing at Jenny's chest area.

Jenny, who made her in game character when she was twelve, had obviously grown since then. However, this didn't dissuade Luna from her conclusion.

"So? From what I just recently learned, Videl didn't have a body in this world. Meaning, all the 'Chosen Ones' probably have a different body in this one as well. Therefore, I can conclude that miss Tatsuya here just has a different body which would explain these differences." After explaining her theory, Luna had a smug look on her face.

"No! I won't except it!" Videl cried out.

"Hold on, I'm not done," Luna held up a hand as if to pause Videl from speaking before looking at Jenny once more. "The reason I think you are Tiana Tatsuya is because when we arrived in this world, we arrived in some sort of device. That one on the bed over there that you called an E-merseU. Because of this, I would like to assume that we traveled to this world through the same route as one of the closest 'Chosen Ones' to us. And the only 'Chosen One' in the area we were at was definitely Tiana Tatsuya."

"No! Please tell me she's wrong!" Videl started panicking as she had said the words 'my beloved' right in front of this girl.

*Sigh*

Not feeling a need to hide it any longer Jenny confessed.

"Ok, you got me. I am Jenny Baker and my in-game name is Tiana Tatsyua."

"Wha… What?!?!" Videl then collapsed to the floor on her knees.

"Game? What do you mean by in-game?" Luna asked upon hearing the phrase.

"Oh, I thought you knew. That device is a deep dive VR headset that lets me play videogames as if I'm really in their world. The game I play the most is called Real Kingdom Online and is the game that I created the character Tiana Tatsuya in." Jenny calmly explained.

"And what is a video game?" Luna continued to ask as if she was interrogating.

"Huh? Oh… It's a digital game created by game companies for entrainment. Nothings real so you can do things you wouldn't normally be able to do in real life." It wasn't till this moment that Jenny started to feel that something was off.

"Hmmmmm… Well, I should probably tell you this now. I can assure you that the world we came from that you call 'Real Kingdom Online' is indeed a real world. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be here right now." Luna said in the calmest manner she could already noticing how Jenny's body was starting to shake.

"Real Kingdom Online… is a real world?" Jenny who had been unconsciously ignoring all the signs finally realized the truth. "But… but… I killed people... I… I thought it was just a game!"

"Wait, you can talk little girl?" Videl having not seen Lunas mouth move as she had been talking to them in their heads only just now noticed this fact.

"Not now Videl, we are having a serious conversation," Luna hushed Videl so that she could try to stop Jenny from collapsing in on herself. If she was going to find out what was going on she was going to need her help and where it looked like Jenny was going right now in her own mind, she would not be able to help them. She needed to work fast.

"Miss Tatsuya, please calm down… From what I heard of you in my travels in the mortal world you have done many good things and those people you killed more than deserved what they got in my honest opinion. In fact, I would say that if you didn't kill them, they would have killed you and many others."

"But…" Jenny started but was interrupted.

"No buts, in our world, sometimes killing is required to survive, so you have nothing to be ashamed of. Now I want you to stop thinking about this because I need your help and I need you to be in full mental health for you to do so." Luna said quite loudly in order to make sure she was listening.

"In order to find out what is going on, I will need the help of someone from this world. And based on what I just learned; you are someone originally from this world. So let me ask you, no, let me ask the both of you. Please help me on my quest to solve the mystery that is happening to the world of the gods."

"Uh…" Jenny didn't know how to respond.

"If it helps, you can think of helping me save the world of the gods as your retribution for the things you have done." Luna added.

"Ok… I'll do it." Jenny wasn't sure what she was signing up for but thinking about helping a whole world made her feel better so she decided to go for it.

"And what about you? You're sort of stuck with me regardless but I'll still give you a choice." Luna said looking at Videl who was obediently remaining quiet.

"Can I ask my question now?" she asked.

*sigh*

"Go ahead…" Luna replied knowing what was coming.

"Since when could you talk?"

"Since I formed a link with you by making you my 'Chosen one'. Back before you used 'log out' I didn't say anything because it was amusing watching you go crazy." Luna said with a sadistic smile as she looked at Videl.

"And I assume I can communicate with miss Tatsuya here due to the device we arrived in being hers."

"Oh…" Videl no longer caring about the answer to her question moved on. "So, does that mean we are all a team now? Me… on a team with Tiana Tatsuya… oooohhhhhhh! Yes! I'm on a team with Tiana Tasyua!"

Watching as the girl named Videl jumped around the room in excitement about being on a team with her wearing just a blanket, Jenny's emotion jumbled up even further.

"So, how do we go back?" Luna asked Jenny as she was the one that should know the most as she had visited their world multiple times.
