Previous Chapter Next Chapter6/5/20
The last day of school was just one day away and Turquoise was both excited and nervous about today since her operation was this afternoon. The final bell rang and as the students were leaving the members of the Anime Lovers Club caught up to Turquoise and her friends to speak with them.
“ Well, girls, this is where we say goodbye we enjoyed having you in our club,” Dark said.
“ Where are you guys going?” Lemon asked.
“ After we graduate on Monday we will be packing up and moving to Savannah Georgia to attend S.C.A.D,” Snowy replied.
“ We wish you the best of luck on your college life,” Turquoise said.
“ Oh and before you guys move can I ask you guys something?” Turquoise added.
“ Shoot,” Flame said.
“ Since this will most likely be the last time we will see you guys will you be at the hospital today to support me as I go through with my operation?” Turquoise asked.
“ We will be there after how much you helped us it's the least we can do,” Dark said.
As soon as they finished talking they went to their cars and drove for the Hospital. As soon as Turquoise got there her mom and the students at Crystal Prep that made a difference in her life were all in the waiting area outside the operating room for her.
“ You can do it Turquoise,” Lemon said.
Turquoise began to shed tears of joy after seeing everyone that made a difference in her life at Crystal Prep show up to help her get through this final step of her journey. From the anime club to principal Cadence, and even the girls from the mall that helped her with her former bully.
"Thank you all so much." Was all Turquoise could say as she cried tears of joy. As soon as they finished wishing her luck the doctor came to get Turquoise prepped for surgery.
“ Ok everyone if you are done wishing her luck its time for me to get started,” The doctor said as he took Turquoise into the OR.
As soon as the doors closed the doctor told Turquoise to strip down before laying on the table. Turquoise complied and then got on the table ready for what happens next. After being anesthetized Turquoise fell asleep and the surgeons began working on Turquoise.
Outside the OR everyone gathered began sharing stories on how they met Turquoise and the impact she had on them starting with Lemon.
“ I remember meeting her back when she was still Silver and how shy and timid he was,” Lemon said before going into how Turquoise made her feel like she was not alone and in return she helped bring out the girl they all knew today.
“ That was very nice of you Lemon,” Haruka said.
“ Your turn Haruka how did you meet Turquoise?” Lemon said.
“ You won,t believe me but I knew Turquoise before she even went to Crystal Prep,” Haruka said before continuing.
“ We both went to Cloudsdale High but he never met me because everyone avoided me for obvious reasons. Anyway, I secretly had a crush on Silver but was not able to tell him because before I could ever express my feelings for him some of the jerks who hurt him mocked me and I kicked their butts for it. Naturally, I got expelled for it. I thought I would never have a chance to show those feelings until my father mentioned the Silver corporation setting up their main office here in Canterlot City and figured I would get the chance to see him again. Whenever I ended up in a new school I asked about Silver and when he was not there I got myself kicked out on purpose. This repeated until someone told me about a girl with light green hair with eyes as blue as the ocean and how she was really a dude in drag. I rode around looking for such a person until I noticed that person being mugged outside of a fabric store and saved her,” Haruka said.
“ There is no way all of that is true,” Sugarcoat said.
“ Don,t, believe me, you can ask Turquoise when she comes out,” Haruka said.
“ Moving on After finding out Silver was Transgender I fell in love with him more,” Haruka Said finishing her story.
“ Our turn,” Suri said.
“ The day after Silver transferred to Crystal Prep he comes out of his limo dressed as a girl and instantly stole the hearts of all the boys, Naturally we were jealous of him stealing our spotlight so we resorted to treating him like one of those sissy sluts you read about in TG fiction,” Fleur said before Indigo cut in.
“ And that’s where I and Lemon came in to save her and got you three suspended for two weeks,” Indigo said.
“ Yes, that and after we got home our parents received a call from Silver Bullet demanded we gave him an apology and since our parents pretty much already hated us we complied, We were expecting Silver to have some very harsh and hurtful things to say to us but he turned out to be very forgiving and even told us how we could repair our reputation once our suspension was over,” Upper Crust said.
“ Even though we may not have a very pleasant story about how we met her may we tell our story?” Dark asked.
“ It’s ok, we are here to share our stories while we wait for our friend,” Lemon said.
“ It was Ace our former artist who brought Turquoise to us and even though to him it was all an elaborate trap for her for us it was a chance to begin our dream of making our own manga series,” Dark said.
“ You guys made that it's really great,” Love said.
“ Thanks, when we pull our talents and skills together anything is possible,” Flame said.
“ Anyway, Thanks to Turquoise we made a very popular manga and we hope our paths cross again in the future,” Dark said.
“ How long do you think Turquoise has been in there for?” Lemon asked.
“ Almost an hour now,” Haruka replied.
As soon as Lemon asked the Doctor in charge of the operation came out covered in blood which caused Lemon to flinch a little.
“ There were some close calls but she is now 100% female,” the doctor said as Turquoise came out wearing the Leopard print ensemble minus the jacket Rarity gave her.
“I am back, did you miss me?” Turquoise said with her new voice.
The doctors explained everything they did to Turquoise and mentioned how they even did a uterus transplant as requested by Ruby.
“ I figured if you were going to be a real girl then you must be willing to go all the way,” Ruby said.
“ I thought there was a long waiting list for stuff like this?” Turquoise asked.
“ Usually there is but luckily for you we found a doner yesterday and she was a perfect match,” The doctor said.
The doner came into the room and Turquoise was very surprised to see who it was.
“ Blair? You're the doner?” Turquoise asked.
“ Yes, my mom said if I did this I can have my possessions back and besides who needs kids when you have no one to give them to you,” Blair said while looking at a picture of Ace she kept in her wallet.
“ That said don,t be acting recklessly with my uterus your not ready for motherhood yet,” Blair said before she was wheeled off back to her room to rest.
Turquoise drove back home and went to sleep excited to get back to work on her first ever VRMMO game for her Nerve Gear.
The next day Turquoise woke up feeling like she just woke up from a dream. She got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. Turquoise was greeted by her parents along with Lemon and Haruka.
“ How are you feeling sweetie?” Ruby asked.
“ A bit odd but good,” Turquoise said.
“ The doctor did mention it would be a while before you are used to your new body,” Ruby said.
“ So now that you're a complete girl what’s next?” Lemon asked.
“ Now that it’s safe for me to use my prototype again I have a lot of data and code to transfer into the virtual world and with the help of my dad’s chief technician I managed to create two more prototypes so I can test the multiplayer functions and I was wondering do you two want to join me on Fenos to do that?” Turquoise said.
“ Sure,” Lemon said.
“ You know I am in,” Haruka said.
As soon they finished breakfast the girls all went to Turquoise’s room to see the world Turquoise created. Turquoise copied and pasted the code she had been working on for months into the virtual world and suddenly the world on the screen began to flesh out more with a beach to the south, a frozen tundra to the north, A vast desert to the west, A forest to the east and a massive kingdom in the center.
“ That is just the tip of the iceberg, there is a lot more to see once we are inside the game,” Turquoise said as she pulled out the prototypes.
“ By the way, what do you call this game?” Lemon asked.
“ It has no official name yet because it's still in the development phase,” Turquoise replied.
The girls all put their nervegear on and dived into the game world. Turquoise arrived first while Lemon and Haruka were on a character creation screen. A few minutes later Lemon and Haruka appeared and were surprised by their appearance. Lemon was a Catgirl wearing a lime green sorceress outfit with yellow accents While Haruka was a fox girl wearing a red sleeveless kimono with long sleeves on her arm and crimson armor in certain places.
“ You two look good,” Turquoise said.
“ So do you, love,” Haruka said referring to Turquoise who was a Fox girl wearing a blue anime style dress with armor in certain places.
“ Which class did you pick?” Haruka asked.
“ Swordsman and as for why I am different from you its because I chose the knight category instead of samurai,” Turquoise replied while further explaining how certain classes have more than one path to choose from.
Turquoise explained that right now they were in Fenexia which was the capital city of Fenos and how the goal of this game was to reach the Sword of Naturia which rests at the top of the world tree and how those that possess the sword will be the true ruler of Fenos.
“ Sounds like a real challenge so where is this World Tree?” Lemon asked.
“ That is a secret it would not be fun if I told you too much,” Turquoise said before she suggested they head to the field north of Fenexia to show them how the combat system works.
Finding a pack of wild boars to test out the combat proved more difficult than expected. "I may need to increase the spawn rate of the animals some. Turquoise said as they left the plains and went into some woods.
"No kidding we haven't seen anything more then birds for about thirty minutes." Lemon chipped in
Suddenly what looked like a raven appeared and suddenly turned into an anthropomorphic birdman with an ax.
“ Ah there's the enemies I guess entering so much data at once must have slowed the download rate now time to demonstrate the combat controls,” Turquoise said as she summoned an ordinary knight’s sword.
“ First to summon your weapons, The nerve gear intercepts the brains senses so to summon your weapon to pretend like your drawing it the motion will generate it for now but in the official release the weapons will be equipped,” Turquoise explained.
"This seems like something to tell us before we look for a fight," Lemon said as she just dodged an attack from the raven man. The enemy didn't give Lemon a chance to summon her weapon as it viciously chased her down. Turquoise and Haruka crossed their blades while blocking the Axe giving Lemon time to call her weapon which was a yellow sorcerer’s staff.
The raven then kicked Haruka in the gut doing ninety percent of her health. "I don't think he's balanced." She said from the ground.
" Sorry." Turquoise ran over and quickly helped her love. "This can,t be right the Raven Berzerker should be waiting inside the Phoenix Sanctuary temple in this forest unless someone is messing with my code,” Turquoise theorized.
"It could simply be a bug remember that Warcraft bug that spread a boss debuff across the servers?" Lemon shouted as she cast a fireball spell. Before Turquoise could finish her thought the raven Berzerker was preparing to unleash its ultimate attack even though they hardly left a scratch on it.
"Definitely a bug," Haruka said as all three of them were hit simultaneously and then were devertualized. Just when they thought they were dead they woke up inside an inn.
“ At least the respawn generator kicked in just in time,” Turquoise said before opening her menu.
"Thank all the gods for that." Lemon got up from the bed. "I think it still needs some work Turquoise."
“ Agreed let's get back to the real world so I can see what is causing this,” Turquoise said before hitting the logout button with her friends doing the same.
As soon as the girls regained consciousness Turquoise checked her program and noticed some of the lines were misspelled.
“ No wonder something went wrong I accidentally messed up some of the code,” Turquoise said showing the area were some of the ones and zeros were in the wrong order. "Sorry guys."
“ I know this would happen Turquoise I told you to take a break once in a while,” Bullet said as he came in.
"That you did dad. That you did." She said with a small blush on her face.
“ So other than your boss monster appearing outside its intended place how was the rest of it?” Bullet asked.
"I liked it but the whole dying part was a little terrifying," Lemon admitted.
“ That’s what the safeguards are for when I was making this I wanted to prevent the part Kiaba neglected to tackle in his invention,” Turquoise said.
"Makes sense to me so why don't we get some food I'm starving," Haruka said as she walked out of the room and headed for the kitchen.
