Sho went to the stats section, seeing his attributes.
Gideon said, "Look! You got Fighter points!"
Sho replied, "Huh?"
A message on Sho's holographic screen messaged him:
*Total Fighter points earned - 900
Sho said, "Explain, psychopath. I got 900 Fighter points."
Gideon responded, "Wellll, the raid is finished since the main boss died! Sooooo that means you gained Fighter points from completing the raid!"
"So how do I use and apply these Fighter points, and the crystals?"
"Since you're in the stats section already. go to your primary weapon."
Sho started tapping on the floating holographic screen, and he tapped on his primary weapon, the butterknife. The butterknife started to be the only thing on the screen with some options on the side.
Sho continued, "What now?"
"Okay! Great! So now, tap where it says, upgrade weapon!"
Sho tapped it, and it said:
*You currently have 900 Fighter points, and 5 magic crystals. To increase weapon attack attributes by 100, spend 200 Fighter points. To increase weapon defense attributes by 100, spend 200 Fighter points. Each magic crystal is worth 1,000 Fighter points, along with an increase in weapon power upgrade.*
Gideon said, "Oh! I forgot to mention that the system in your watch fixes the most possible outcome and guide for your points and attributes, in which they tell you what the system itself recommends, that's why they are telling you what they told you about what to spend and what to get for a certain price!"
"Fuck that! I don't need this thing telling me what to do! I want to spend all of this on my weapon attack attribute!"
"Spend it! Just type in the amount, and it will use up your funds! But are you sureeeeee you don't wanna spend any on defense?"
"I do what I want! I know what I'm doing!"
Sho started to tap on the screen, spending all of his Fighter points and magic crystals on his weapon attack attribute.
Gideon exclaimed, "Whoaaaa!!!"
*5800 points added to weapon attack attribute
*0 points added to weapon attack attribute
*New category unlocked - "Power"
Sho's weapon stats:
Attack: 6,000/100,000
Defense: 200/100,000
Power: 500/100,000
Power Level: 500
*You are now class D*
*2 weapon abilities unlocked - "Heavy Fighting", Extendo*
Gideon said, "You unlocked a new category! The Power category!! That will definitely increase the abilities and appearance in your weapon! And you're a class D like me! Woo hoo! Ohhh, and you got two new weapon abilities! Cooool!"
Sho's butterknife started to shapeshift, and it turned into a kitchen knife, with a black and red handle, with a sharp blade.
Sho's entire body had a red and black aura flowing off of it, including his knife.
Sho stood up, saying, "I feel stronger..i gained two abilities..and I'm not in class Z anymore.."
Gideon replied, "Quick tip! You seemed to level up pretty fast, due to your choice of going straight for the attack attributes! It's still kind of weird that you shot up the ranks so fast though! But from here on out, it's going to be extremely difficult to level up, you'll have to make sacrifices with your points if you want to win fights! And also, magic crystals lose value the stronger you get!"
"Don't care! And aren't you gonna use your points?"
"No time!"
"You literally could've been doing that shit while I was doing it."
"But I had to help you, Shoooo! I'll be fine where I'm at for now, I gotta go help Bebop! See yaaaaaa at the fight!!"
Gideon ran off, and went to help Bebop fight Acna.
Sho stood there, wiping blood off of his face, and he looked down at his knife.
He looked at it, thinking, 'Went from a butter knife to a long kitchen kitchen knife. I can feel more power in it..feels good. Now then, how do I use Heavy Fighting and Extendo?'
Sho went on his watch, opening up his menu, and he was immediately met with a message with instructions on how to use those two skills.
The instructions said:
*Heavy Fighting skill allows the user to control the weight of their weapon to whatever imagination. To activate: look at the weapon, and say, "Crash: and the weight you wish it to be.*
*Extendo is a skill that allows the user to control the length of their weapon. To activate: look at the weapon, and say Extend: to whatever length you wish it to be. To shorten weapon length, you say - Descend: to whatever length you wish it to shrink to.*
Sho said, "Tch. Seems easy enough."
A mile away in the dark forest, Bebop and her familiar Dero chased Acna through the trees.
Dero was punching rays of white light at Acna while jumping from tree to tree. The rays destroyed pieces of the ground, and blasted trees in the air.
Acna said, "Dear child, haven't you had enough yet? You haven't been able to create a dent with your performance."
Acna turned around while sliding on the ground, she stuck her hands out, saying, "Cover!"
Dero started to dash around Acna, kicking the air really fast with both feet towards, shooting rays of white light over and over at Acna.
Acna had her yellow balls cover her, and there were over 20 of them, protecting Acna. They stood in the way of the rays of light, blowing up when hit by them.
Bebop and Dero were still dashing around Acna, punching and kicking rays of light, with Acna's power balls jumping in the way and taking the hits for her.
Acna stood there while this continued, saying, "Give it up, honey. You're not yourself. I remember when I used to tell you horrifying stories to get you to sleep faster. And the funny thing is, they worked. Ah, the memories. I want to relive those times. All I want..is to have you back. Why won't you let me take you back?"
Bebop wasn't saying anything, her arms still swaying near the ground, as her familiar was still fighting.
Acna sighed, "Not talking now? It's not good to ignore your mother. Oh? I sense people. It seems like those two fools are alive, and one of them has leveled up. I'll take care of them."
Acna made all the balls around her spin around fast, and she smashed her fists together, and the balls began to dart around the forest, but they were moving in abnormal ways, going diagonal and bouncing off the air. They were growing constantly, wrecking everything in its path.
Some of them were trying to hit Gideon, but Gideon dodged them, jumping from trees, jumping off and sliding on the ground, and ripping trees out of its roots to throw at the incoming balls.
Gideon would jump in the air, stick his arm out, and create a large magma ball under him, allowing it to slow down Acna's power balls.
Gideon laughed, "Haha! Too slow for me!"
Back at the fight, Acna punched Dero in the chest, and it blasted Bebop and Dero back pretty far, knocking them through trees.
Acna ran after them, saying, "Oh dear. We could've avoided this, daughter."
Acna kept punching Dero over and over, then she raised her hand and created a power ball, and slammed it near Dero's head.
Dero raised his hand, creating a shield of light, and it made contact with the power ball.
Acna said, "What?"
The impact from the contact blasted them both away, and Dero and Bebop were standing on their feet, sliding across the ground at the same time.
Gideon finally made it to where Bebop was, standing beside her and her familiar Dero.
Gideon said, "Bebop! I'm here to help!"
Dero swung at Gideon, but Gideon leaned back to dodge it, saying, "Whoa! I'm a friend! F-R-I-E-N-D!"
Acna said, "Fool! How did you brats survive Vibrant Storm?!"
"Ohh. It was pretty fun! And kinda easy! It's pretty cool how you used my past to fight me! Even using my past fears and those scary faceless peopleeeee!"
"Shut up! You'll die here anyway!"
Acna made dozens of power balls form around her, and Gideon and Bebop and her familiar Dero got ready, even though Bebop was moving like a zombie at the moment.
Dero had two spiked whips of light come out of his arms, and was gonna use them as weapons.
Acna started to dash really fast to get power balls that were scattered through the air, and when she tapped them with one finger, all of the power balls switched over to surround Gideon and Bebop and Dero like a dome. Acna was still dashing through the power balls, saying, "This speed is unreachable. I apologize for going easy on you at first, daughter, but now, I will end your rebellion."
Gideon thought, 'Used a lot of my energy on the last magma ball! Gotta take damage! But her power balls could end me! Gotta be smartttt!'
Gideon looked at Dero, and attacked him, but purposely missed.
Dero slashed Gideon across the face and chest fast with the whips, then kicked him in the chest.
Gideon laughed, "Haha! Yes!"
Acna said, "Foolish boy!"
Acna was quickly tapping her power balls in the air, and they began to dart at Gideon and Bebop.
Gideon lunged at Bebop and Dero, and covered them in a magma ball. Acna's power balls were constantly hitting the magma protection, destroying it piece by piece, making loud thud noises.
Gideon said, "Hang on, Bebop, and her familiar creature human thingggg!"
Gideon stuck his hands through the bottom of the magma ball, and he created two giant magma spheres with magma leaking out, and it made them sword to the sky.
Acna looked up, "You can't run from the inevitable!"
Gideon, Bebop, and Dero blasted out of the magma ball, ready to fight.
Sho was still running to the fight, avoiding the power balls by Acna.
Sho was using his new kitchen knife to slice the power balls in half one by one. He cut them down, being extremely focused on them.
Sho thought, 'The power definitely increased, if I was using my butterknife, it would've broken my hand and arm and maybe even destroyed my weapon.'
Sho jumped over a few more of them, and slammed his knife down on one, pinning it to the ground.
Sho looked at his knife, and he saw there was a little crack on the side.
Sho gasped, "A crack?! How?! Ah..fuck. The defense is still low, no matter how much power it gives out. Can't reverse it I don't think, gotta do what I can."
Sho ran forward some more, he pointed his knife at the ground, and said, "Extend: 50 feet!"
His knife grew to about 50 feet long, with the blade sticking in the ground, and the end pushing Sho all the way into the sky.
Sho was high up, and he looked down, spotting the fighting instantly.
Sho thought, 'There..'
Sho exclaimed, "Descend: Back to normal?!"
Sho's knife shrunk back to its normal size, and he began to fall on purpose.
Down below, Gideon was throwing strong punches at Acna while laughing, but Acna caught his fist, and punched him in the face, sending him flying.
Gideon laughed more, and he turned around and used his dragon arm to shoot a series of magma balls at her.
Acna walked through them, punching them and shattering them.
Acna said, "I do not fear these. Do you see the differences in class? Low class scum. How dare you fight to keep me from taking my daughter!! Do you wanna die that badly?! Be my guest!"
Acna was about to dash forward, but Bebop and Dero came in.
Dero swung his spiked whips made of white light around his back, then attacked Acna. Acna was dodging the swings fast, saying, "Close quarters…you cannot close this big of a gap. I am stronger, daughter."
Acna threw a punch, but a shield of light came out of Deru's chest, blocking Acna's punch, but it sent Dero and Bebop back.
They stood back up, and Dero shot the whips at a nearby tree, ripped it out of its roots, and slung it at Acna.
Acna said, "Futile. You think a fucking tree is going to stop me?"
Acna punched the tree, but above her, Dero and Bebop were above her.
Dero spun and punched Acna in the face, blasting out a ray of light in the process.
Acna slid to the side, saying, "Ow! That fucking hurt! You finally landed a hit. My turn."
Power balls started to come out from underground, and they hit Dero up the chin, then the stomach.
Dero had holes in him, and he was blasted back, falling beside Gideon along with Bebop.
Gideon said, "Oh, hi! This looks bad, huh?"
Dero didn't say anything, nor did Bebop. Well, Dero can't talk.
Gideon continued, "I've been watchingggg, she's vulnerable when distracted when fighting something else! She may be able to move her power balls around when fighting, but that's because she's focusedddd on it! But she's weak when not expecting the unexpected!"
Acna was walking towards them, saying, "Hah? What are you blabbering about over there? Don't talk to my daughter. I'm gonna kill you now."
Gideon whispered to Bebop, "Bebop..if you can hearrrr me, get rid of the familiar…trusttt me!"
Immediately, Bebop got rid of her familiar Dero, and she woke up, saying, "Gideon!"
Gideon grabbed Bebop, and put her in a headlock, putting his dragon hand near her hand, and it was oozing with magma.
Gideon said to Acna, "Leaveee or she diesssss…"
Acna responded, "First you wanted to save her, now you want to use her as hostage to make me leave? I was not born yesterday in a crazy asylum."
"I could gain alotttttt of points off her..ya know.."
Bebop exclaimed, "G-Gideon! Why?! I thought we were friends!"
Gideon thought, 'Buying timeeee, buying timeeee! I wouldn't hurt children..I'm only jokinggg! But it seems to be workinggg! Where are you, Shooo?'
Sho was soaring downward towards Acna, seeing she was distracted.
Sho thought, 'Why the hell does Gideon have Bebop hostage? Dammit, I'll settle that after I take care of this woman! Looking at my knife, I hope it holds up! Acna's power balls really worn it out!'
Acna was still distracted, and Gideon and Bebop tried their hardest not to look up at Sho, trying not to give anything away.
Acna looked downward, at the ground at the corner of a tree, and she saw Sho's shadow in it.
Acna turned around and jumped into the air with a large power ball in her right hand.
Acna said, "I've heard my daughter call you big brother! That was the biggest slap in the face to me!"
Sho answered, "Shut up! She doesn't wanna go with you! It's not like I care, but I know what it's like to not get what the hell you want from someone you expected to love you."
"Tragic! I don't care about your past!"
"Fuck you! It wasn't for your amusement!"
"You may have risen a class, but you still can't beat me! You may be able to slash away at my power balls, but how about facing one that's larger and tougher?!"
Sho slammed his knife down at Acna, and Acna raised her power ball at it.
Both of them connected, creating a large thud and a spark of light. They held it here for a few seconds, with Sho gritting his teeth in pain, bleeding from his face. Acna kept a straight face, saying, "Look at you trying to use your feeble strength against me. You can't win!"
Sho exclaimed, "Extend: 70 feet!"
Sho's knife extended to be 70 feet long, and then he yelled, "Crash: Ten thousand tons!"
Acna said, "Huh?!"
Acna couldn't lift that much weight, so the knife completely shattered the power ball, and it cut Acna halfway through, but not all the way through due to her toughness, but the knife started to fall down fast, and it was slamming Acna down through the sky quickly.
Acna couldn't get out, since the knife was halfway through her, it hurt her to move.
"Impossible!"
Sho said, "You ain't see that coming…? Neither did I.."
Sho, his 70 foot long 10,000 ton knife, and Acna went down faster, and down below, Gideon picked Bebop up and moved her away.
Bebop asked, "Gideon! What are we doing?! We can't leave big brother!"
Gideon replied, "We're nottt! That knife is gonna slam pretty hard!"
The giant knife slammed Acna on the ground hard, and there was a large thud and boom, with wind and pressure blasting out all the trees around.
Gideon still held Bebop as they fell and rolled on the ground, but they were okay.
It got quiet, and Gideon was slowly getting up, saying, "That was so..cool…"
Bebop immediately stood up, running to the site.
Gideon exclaimed, "Oiiii! Wait up!"
Gideon ran after her.
Gideon and Bebop were standing where Sho was at, seeing the area decimated.
Sho was standing over Acna who was lying on the ground bleeding. Sho's knife was back to its normal size, and he was panting loudly. But his knife blade was shattered.
Sho said, "My knife…broke. I barely won."
Gideon said, "That's alright!"
"Are you dumb?"
"If your weapon breaks, then it will take one hour for it to reform again! Don't worryyyy!"
"Ah."
Bebop ran towards Sho, and latched onto his leg, "Big brother..!"
Sho answered, "Get offa me. I'm not your friend. Or your brother."
On the ground, Acna was slowly saying, "She's..always wanted a brother. She would always talk about having one..someone to protect her..I eliminated the boy whom she had a close bond with, I didn't want him taking her from me…I see now..it's coming back on me…"
Acna died, leaving Sho, Bebop, and Gideon to look down at her.
A tear dropped from Bebop's eye, and she said, "Bye bye..."
Sho thinks, 'Shit..this just gets more and more crazy. And it's only been half a day. I defeated a class A Fighter, meaning I got Fighter points. I have to check and see how much I got. I got lucky with this win, lucky because Acna's powers were as they were, while mine barely stood a chance against her. She didn't know my knife was wearing out, if she sent the barrage of power balls, it could've wiped me out. Now that that's over, what am I gonna do?'
