Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Companion Story Neon

*New rainy day! Let's see what our good ol' traveler has to do today.*

Traveler: *stretches* "Good morning life! Oh- its raining.. God dammi-"

*Gets out of the room*

*Message received*

Traveler: "Huh?" *Checks phone.*

*"Hello Traveler, this is the general. Could you come to my office today? Only if you can, i wont force you."*

Traveler: "Free meeting!? Count me in!"

*"Sure General! I'll be there soon."*

*After a while of waiting*

*Athena comes out from her room.*

Athena: "Oh! You're up early!"

Traveler: "Uh huh! Sure am! Anything i can help you with dear?"

Athena: *slaps him with not much power.* "Language! You think i am your girlfriend or anything!?"

Traveler: "You changed..."

Athena: "What do you mean i changed..?"

Ken: *coming out from his room too.* "Sis, poor Mika was almost helpless with you last night.. you drank almost 20 bottles last night.."

Athena: "I.. ehe :~) I'm sorry..?"

Ken: "Oh no! That cute face wont get me. I aint like mother!"

Traveler: "Yeah Athena.. girl you gotta take it down with the drinking dammit!"

Athena: "Alright.. i'll try.."

Ken: "Hey man! Where you headin?"

Traveler: "Called in by the general.. I have no clue when i'll be back.."

Ken: "Sure man! Stay safe out there and dont hesitate to call for help if needed!"

Athena: "Yeah you got your cute girl here to help! ;~)"

Traveler: "Did the aftereffects still didn't wear off..?"

Ken: *whispers* "Don't ask me... I don't wanna know either.."

*The Traveler nods and heads out.*

Traveler: "Alrighty so it was at Duran's Military Base! Off I go!"

*After small flying and a crash into a citizen later.*

Traveler: "God i suck at flying! I hit that old lady down the street!"

*Goes to the entrance.*

Guard: "Name? And purpose?"

Traveler: "I go by Traveler. As for my purpose, i am here for an appointed meeting with the general. Here's my ID"

*Hands the ID*

Guard: "Alright... That checks it out. You can go inside."

*The Guard hands the ID back to The Traveler.*

Traveler: "Thank you!"

*Enters the base*

Traveler: "Its definitely been some time since i was here.. it looks a bit different."

*After getting to the general's office door.*

*Knocks*

Neon: "Who is it?"

Traveler: "Its The Traveler Mr.Neon!"

Neon: "Oh come on in then!"

*The Traveler opens the door, steps inside and sits down in the chair.*

Neon: "Welcome Traveler. I have told you to come here with a single and pretty easy reason. You see every time i hire someone to work here they get their one free day with the general. That's not on you when you can come. I secretly organize it. But if you decide to not come for example its not a problem. You'll just miss on the one time meeting."

Traveler: "Oh yeah! I did figure it out!" "I figured out my balls!" "So yeah, what do you want to do exactly general?"

Neon: "Well want a drink? My treat of course."

Traveler: "Umm sure! I don't mind!" "Gosh Athena will kill me if she hears this! But hey atleast its the general!"

Neon: "Great, then let's go. I'll lead the way."

*After Neon got ready and took everything he needed they both went out ready to have a drink and chat.*

*At the restaurant.*

Neon: "Hello there miss! I would like to order Duran's specialty as always!"

?: "Awesome choice general! You always slay the menu! And what about you dear sir?"

Traveler: "Fish&Chips sound perfect right now for me! And a glass of wine i guess."

?: "Understood. The orders will be here soon."

*She left*

Neon: "Do you have any question you would like to ask me?"

Traveler: "Umm sure! Can you tell me about your best recruit up to date? How powerful are they?"

Neon: "Well i am sure you're aware, Mika is my current best recruit in the military. With Athena just behind her. Athena has the destructive capability, but Mika fights better hand to hand. As for an overall rating they are a perfect 10/10 from me. Anything else?"

Traveler: "What about Duran's god? I met him before.. but one clue who the Deity is?"

Neon: "Oh.. the Almighty Zen. The god of wind himself and one of the Ten Winds. He is the god that has guided us a lot of time. As Duran's second General its my duty to guard the city on behalf of our god. As for the god himself, Zen is a calm Deity, able to wipe out millions of enemies at once he is a force to be reckoned with."

Traveler: "Wow that's really impressive! I like this!"

?: "Your orders guys!"

Neon: "Thanks miss!"

?: "No problem! Enjoy!"

*She leaves*

Neon: "Any other questions?"

Traveler: "Hmm.. what about that thing we faced before. That massive thing..?"

Neon: "Massive thing... I think you're referring to the Vortex Warlord. One of the machines created by Titan Madoro and given to Sue, one of the Emperor's banishers. That thing isnt for usual people to fight. Manipulating darkness it can easily kill you. But element holders aren't affected too much by their effects."

Traveler: "Interesting.. so that's what that thing was... Damn and i thought she wanted to end me.."

Neon: "Stay vigilant Traveler. You will soon overcome this and will go triumphant."

Traveler: "Thanks General.. its much appreciated.."

Neon: "No problem."

*After they finish the food.*

Neon: *pays the bill.* "Alright the bill is covered. We shall depart now. Thanks for coming today Traveler."

Traveler: "No problem general! Anything for you! See you another day!"

Neon: "Goodbye. Safe travels!"

*Back at Athena's place*

Athena: "Ey ey! Guess who's coming home!"

Traveler: "Yeah.. woohooo... Its me aint it..?"

Athena: "Of course its you silly!"

Ken: "Sis quit the playing.. Go and rest man."

Traveler: "Thanks bro. I will head to my room yall.. see yall.. *yawns* tomorrow.."
