"Hey James!" I looked up to see Henry standing above his cubicle to see me. "Dude, what are you doing?" I asked, I was working on an email and he jumpscared me. "Did you hear about the new donut shop by the bridge? They just opened yesterday." He told. I raised my eyebrows, interested. "I don't think so." We then both sit down, seeing our supervisor pass by. That was way too close.
"Say, wanna go after it after work?" He asked, once the fat man passed. I fidget, I really wanted to play some games after work. "Sure." I finally said. "Nice, I wanted to talk to you about something anyway." Henry told. "Right...Head down!" I suddenly said, seeing the supervisor. Henry did get caught, but the supervisor just scoffed and walked away.
After work, I tried to find him around the office. Looks like he headed out without me. Was he in a rush? Shoot. I might as well catch up.
I found him at the store with him just sitting eating his own donut. "Henry! Sorry, I thought you were still at work!" I immediately say before him. "Nah, it's good! It's good." Henry dropped his donut back to his plate. He seemed chill, yet something less chill about him at the same time. "What's up?" I asked, now curious. Henry sighed and looked up at me. "Dude, have you ever thought you got a...boring life?" He asked. I crossed my arms, then shook my head. "I got games, so that makes it less boring." I told. "No,like. Imagine this. You're not really doing anything that's really REALLY worth it. Same for me. And it really got me thinking. What's gonna be next for blokes like us?" Ri- Henry asked, his smile diminishing. "Retirement, money... I don't know. Maybe. I thought Pepper was into you?"
"Dude, she's lesby. But thats besides the point. Are we really gonna be happy and ok with the shit we're doing?"
"To be honest, we're not even trying." I finally said. This was getting annoying for me to think about. Henry got stunned for a bit. "We said it ourselves that buds gotta stick together, but the way I see it, it's holding you back." I told, Its not like I didn't like his company. It's just I'm not really giving that much of that too. "So what are you saying?" He asked, he's kinda getting the gist of what I'm saying. "You need a girlfriend." I said with a laugh. He suddenly chuckled too. "Nah you serious?" He asked, after losing his laugh. His smile returned tho. "Yeah. I'm kinda busy with more stuff lately so it's better for you to find better company than me." I told. It's not like I did anything for him to be friends. He just gave me his time for no reason at all. "You sure?" He asked. I looked down at the table. "We're still bros, but I'm sure Peppers-"
"She's lesby." Henry groaned.
"Wait hear me out, I think she was still into you.You just don't know it." I told, oh my god I'm lying. Henry smirked. "Aight, I'll trust ya." He told. "I'm gonna go get a milkshake," I then stood up...
Jacko gasped, he held his head and started grabbing his forehead. Red slime then starts to emerge, like pulling out a slimy blade...
Jacko yelled in pain as he tried to extract the slime from there.
"Hey! What are you doing!?" The pink haired man suddenly appeared from one of the caves in front of Jacko.
He then throws the Slime Heart Sword at him, standing up and gagging. "I don't want to get stronger...It fucking hurts!" Jacko yelled.
Ligma grabbed the blade and then suddenly it exploded right at his face. His torso gets immediately blown off, then his parts slowly started to regrow. "What...THE HELL WAS THAT!?" He yelled, then suddenly noticed Jacko was out of sight.
Jacko ran through one of the caves. "Grommar-!" The Steel Golem Slime then jumps out of his chest, it's hands turning into drills. It then starts punching it's drills right at the earth walls.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Ligma's voice suddenly boomed from behind Jacko. He turned to face the strange pink man. "I'm getting out of here." Jacko told, turning his fist into a ground slime fist. "I have you power and you refuse it, and you're just gonna leave!? I have so much planned for you!" Ligma growled. "I don't care!" Jacko then suddenly summoned a bunch of water slimes, forming themselves into an amalgamation of water tentacles sticking through the walls.
He then cuts through one of the tentacles with his hand, then he gets electrocuted through his hand and yells in pain. "Dangit!" His hand then suddenly turns into a scaly pink texture. He groaned as he noticed Jacko's electric slime shooting towards him.
He blocks it with his scale hand, destroying the slime then fire blasts his neck, turning to see the annoying Finn. "Haiyaaa!" He yelled, blasting a larger fire laser with his hands.
During the battle, Jacko watched Grommar- slowly make a hole through the wall, gasping as he sees dragons flying around...and the glimpse of Grayhold Kingdom.
A long ping claw then suddenly dashes towards Jacko, immediately sensing it and dodging it thanks to the robe's effects...but instead it pierced through Grommar, the claw growing from within and crushing it.
"Why is it so hard to make you stronger!?" He then retracts his claw...his face getting noticably scalier, so were his arms.
Jacko smiled. "I'm already strong enough." He then turns his own slime arm into a water dragon claw, then punches through the hole, making it bigger. Then he immediately jumped off.
"No! Slime Ooone!" Ligma then suddenly had pink wings appear behind his back,
As Jacko fell, he then summons a water slime to turn into tentacles, shooting it to one of the Green Dragons claw. The dragon didn't notice him yet,and he only looked forward. Hoping he had finally escaped. "I'm sorry, I can't avenge anyone..." Jacko thought. "I don't wanna keep fighting anymore..." He told himself, hating himself for lying to the dead.
He then heard some swift flapping behind him, assuming they were other dragons...
The tentacle is then cut loose by a quick pink blur. Jacko then begins to fall, seeing the one that cut it.
Its a large serpent-loke dragon with very long arms and huge claws. It looked terrifyingly ugly, even with it's long pink wings that looked like upside down cones.
"Nice try, O Slime One. You are yet too weak to escape me!" The dragon hissed, immediately dashing towards it with pink ribbons suddenly appearing from it's snout to tie up the Jacko.
Seeing the ribbons, his Emerald Robe emits a red slime shield, exploding those ribbons that came in contact.
"Atlantis!" The Crystallized Water Dragon emerges out of Jacko's back, flying him away from the Rogue Elder Dragon.
"Guildmaster!" Boston came running to his desk, exasperated. "What is it? Is the raid over?" He smiled, another successful raid would be another good point for his guild after all. "An Elder Dragon has been spotted!" Boston yelled. Joshua's face turned blank. "Wait...THEY ONLY APPEAR IN DRAGON ISLANDS AND THE 20TH FLOOR!? YOU SHITTING ME AGAIN BOSTON!?" He immediately grabbed his collar, yelling. "It's...It's the Rogue Elder sir...It was spotted in the islands before!" Boston kept reporting. "A...NAMED ELDER!? WHICH ONE!?" He neared his face to Boston...
"L-Ligma..." Boston whispered...
"Ligma?"
"Ligma balls"
Joshua then proceeds to throw down Boston to the fucking ground and grabs his staff, while London walks into the scene.
"Rollcall every single A rank Adventurer right fucking now! We have an Elder Dragon to kill!" He ordered London.
"Which one sir?" London hid her smirk.
Joshua looked at her with his staff clicking.
"Right away sir." She then leaves to activate the warning bells...
"You cannot fly forever from destiny!" The Elder announced, as dragons of different sizes and types fly towards Jacko's Atlantis.
"Finn! Blizz!" He yelled, shooting out Blizz to a Poison Dragon, piercing through the other dragons, while Finn blasts those who have come way too close to Jacko's ride.
Jacko then places Grommar right at the back of Atlantis, holding up it's two arms with two huge barrels. He then begins summoning Fire Slimes within them, being then shot to the other dragons in the sky. He cycles through different slimes depending on dragon's types.
Ligma himself is frustrated at how this insolent human is able to defeat this much dragons with such simple slimes.
"HOW DARE YOU DEFT FATE!?" He then suddenly charges for Jacko within a split second.
Jacko smirked, as Atlantis' tail transforms into his head, blasting the Dragon with a point blank Freeze Breath.
"FUCK!" It managed to barely dodge the attack with it's speed, then it gets hit by a barrage of exploding slimes right at its head.
"Predictable..." Jacko said, proud at the direct hits.
The dragon shook its head, it's face being grown back...
"I'm not supposed to kill you...but if you will refuse to follow destiny, you might as well be dead!" It then started to summon several ribbons, each one of them are sharp as steel blades and begins to shoot them towards Jacko.
He then summons his fire slime shield, it's density thickens, melting all the ribbons before they could pierce him. In turn, he turns the burning shield into a large red slime being launched towards Ligma, a large explosion knocking them both back in the sky.
Atlantis' parts of his body gets blown off, along with Grommar. He unsummons all his remaining slimes, gliding through the sky with nothing. He then takes note that they are nearing Grayhold walls.
They guards have their Ballistas at the ready, some already being shot towards the dragon.
After the explosion settled, Ligma felt powerful Ballista shots piercing through its hard scales, spitting out blood.
"Can't....heal...shit!" He immediately thought of retreating, realizing how close he is to bring defeated...
Then he spots Jacko falling, it's excitement gets ahead of it. "DIE!" It then roared, firing a powerful LIGMA BEAM at him.
Suddenly, Atlantis new crystal wings sprouted from his back, forming a shield for the beam... deflecting it towards it's head.
His head gets pushed back, grunting in pain.
Jacko then controls his flight, revealing his chest to the Dragon, Atlantis' head emerging from it and firing an even more powerful Freeze Beam at its chest.
With its chest frozen, Ligma caught itself unable to breath, as more Ballista shots pierces it's body.
"Is that dude on our side!?" The guards took noticed the flying man.
Jacko ignored the guards' comments, zooming towards the Dragon's head, punching it's snout downside with a Ground Slime Arm.
"DARAKON WILL KNOW YOUR SIN!" The dragon roared, as it's body starts being pushed to the ground.
"I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS!"
A powerful smash is then seen as an explosion of dust right in front of the Grayhold walls.
The guards gathered around to look at the result of the battle...
Jacko stood in front of the Dragon's corpse, his transformation ceased and his face expressing relief...
"This is the best I can do, Rift." He said, then he sees the dragon's remains being reduced to light, seeing it form into some kind of staff with shapes of diamond and a rouge pink color appearing in his hand. He grabbed it, then gasped as he notices that it was made out of slime.
He then absorbs the Rogue Staff into his body as if it was one of his slime summons. He then looked up, relieved that the sky was still blue, even if this kind of sky was littered with dragon corpses falling down and ashes.
"Jacko!?" He immediately turned to see whom called.
The Guildmaster pointed his wand at him, with a cautious look at his face. London stood beside him, not drawing her weapon.
"What kind of monster are you!?" Joshua yelled, his gun charging up...
"I'm...a Slime Summoner..." Jacko then fell to his knees and his body collapses, the fatigue and hunger finally taking its toll.
