Chapter 106

Micro stretched as he exited the master bedroom of his Sanctuary. Chara stretched as she followed him, dressed for another day of training. They essentially had stayed in the Sanctuary all real world night, getting about 20 days worth of training in with Frida and in other areas.

Add in the fact that he had multiple clones working on games in the living room practically 24/7 (which in real world time would translate to 420 days in a week) and he was getting a steady stream of game abilities that he couldn’t wait to test out. In fact…

He looked over at the door leading to the room of a certain ninja’s room. Turning to Chara he put a finger to his lips and smirked. Using a skill he got from Splatoon, he ducked into the wall that had been painted mostly one color. Traveling along the color, he slipped through the miniscule gap between the door and its frame. Inside the room he resisted the urge to blush hearing Zecora in the shower (knowing it was her because of the singing coming from the bathroom).

As much as the guy in him told him now was the perfect chance to take a peek, he stopped himself. Frida made one thing clear. If he could sneak up on her he was free to goose, peek, or whatever if he felt he would be able to get away. After all, it would show she was good at teaching him stealth. But Zecora...yeah...no. Only the taking the panties thing was given the go ahead and without Gamer’s Body he would still be sore from his punishment for dream spying.

Seeing a form in bed under the sheets, Micro smiled. Time to land his first surprise attack on his teacher.

Immediately he dropped out of the Inkling form right next to the bed and conjured a ball of ice cold water. He was about to hurl it at the form when he saw an eye peeking out from beneath the sheet that clearly wasn’t Frida’s. It was burgundy with matching eye lids and a long solid lash.

“Wha-!”

The cover flew off and the fruit Pokemon Tsareena shot out with a Trop Kick, hitting Micro in the stomach and sending him crashing straight through the bathroom door. Gamer’s Body prevented him from getting a concussion as his head slammed hard into the porcelain bath. The shower curtain moved just enough for Zecora to peek her head out.

“A word of advice for later in life,” she said. “Next time you get a stealth ability, don’t warn my wife.”

“Noted,” Micro said.

Downstairs

Chara sighed as she heard a crash from upstairs.

“Knew it wouldn’t go well,” she muttered. Entering the living room to check on the clones, she heard loud yelling in Spanish.

“Punta de campamento!”

“Sé que estás pirateando el juego, así que cállate, caminando con la lata!”

Looking over at the computers set up in the one section of the room she saw Frida and Sombra playing each other in CS:GO. The ninja was dressed in a pink sports bra and black leggings while Sombra wore a white tank top with her pink skull insignia on the chest and purple sweatpants.

“You two are up early,” Chara yawned and Sombra was distracted for about half a second, which was just enough for Frida to snipe the hacker.

“Damn it!” Sombra growled. Frida snickered before standing up.

“So. Where’s Micro?” Frida grinned and Chara sighed.

“You know what he tried to do, don’t you?” Frida laughed as they heard a crash up stairs. Then they heard a crash coming from the kitchen. The three girls all went still. Chara pulled her trident out of her inventory while Frida grabbed a pair of sais. Sombra pulled out her machine pistol. Slowly, they made their way to the kitchen. Frida turned to the other girls and held up her hand.

3...2...1…

She kicked the door open and flipped in, her Sais going to the throat and crotch of the nearest intruder and while Chara pinned the other to a wall with her knife to the redhead’s...throat.

“Holy shit!” Sugar said. The girls lowered their weapons with a sigh as Sugar and Apple Bloom caught their breath.

“What are you two doing here?” Chara asked. Rubbing her throat, Apple Bloom responded.

“We both forgot the food competition was today. We jumped in here to quickly make our entries.”

“Considering we can take our time here,” Sugar went to continue when he saw Sombra and his voice caught in his throat. “Is that Sombra?!”

“Si panadero,” Sombra said. She looked a little wistfully at the batter in the bowls and the other sweets around on the counters. Apple Bloom saw the look and picked up a Caramel Zap Apple to hand to the hacker.

“Would you like one?” Apple Bloom asked. Sombra chuckled.

“Thanks for the offer...but it wouldn’t do me much good.” Her fingers glowed pink as she tapped her neck. Small lines appeared as her skin started separating, revealing her mechanical insides. “At least until I get a real body.”

Apple Bloom looked a bit surprised, not realizing that the girl was a robot.

“Sorry,” she said. “...But when you do get a body, I’ll make some for you! They won’t be Zap Apples since they would be out of season.”

Sombra grinned and nodded. Chara however smirked and reached into her shared Inventory with Micro. A plate of hot pancakes appeared in her hands.

“You know the Inventory keeps things fresh right?”

Competition Grounds

It was about an hour before the competition started when Peppermint Twist found the spot labelled for her. She was slightly nervous as her specialty was in candy canes but she obviously couldn’t just make a few of them for the competition. She used her skills to make a chocolate peppermint mousse.

“Even if I don’t win I hope Sugar likes it,” she said. Her mind went to the idea of the two of them sitting together at Sugar Cube Corner enjoying desert together, Sugar wiping a small bit of frosting off her cheek and licking it off his finger.

“Excuse me, my dear,” a voice said. “Did I just hear you say Sugar? As in Sugar Rush?”

At another stand on the grounds, Pinkie smiled as she set a huge cake onto her table. She giggled as she imagined Sugar sitting at a table with the huge cake in front of him and her popping out of it, only covered in frosting.

“I’m winning the date from Sugar no sweat.”

“Do you mean the heir to the Sweet Tooth corporation?” A voice asked.

“Yes indeedy!” Pinkie cheered as she turned to the man in a blue and white striped shirt and white pants. Seeing his hair underneath a hat, she seemed a little shocked. “Hey! You have the same hair as him!”

“Well...We are family.”

Sanctuary

“Ok!” Frida said with a smirk as they made their way to the forest nearby. Some Pokemon wandered about as Chara and Micro followed, ready for their training. “Today we are doing stealth training. No transforming or ducking into a seperate ID. Just hide yourselves as best you can.”

The two nodded and began trying to come up with a good strategy.

“You have five minutes to hide from me. Now go!”

The two Gamer’s immediately Blinked out of the area and went separate directions. Micro smirked as he found a place high in a tree. Using a small bit of nature magic, he formed a few extra branches to make his hiding place more comfortable.

‘Doubt this will fool her for too long,’ he thought. ‘But should be good for a bit.’

He got another notification and smiled.

You have completed the game

Prototype

Do you want to sacrifice your save file in order to gain a skill/weapon?

Yes/No

With a smile he hit yes, ready for the powerful abilities the game provided.

He wasn’t expecting pain to suddenly shoot through his body.

Mind going blank, his body began spasming, the extra branches he made being the only thing keeping him in the tree. The last thing his mind registered before passing out was the name of the skill he just absorbed.

Blacklight Virus
