Welcome back to Magical Girl For Hire Quest!

You are currently NOT Miranda Styles.

You are Carly, B-Rank Heavy Scout-class mercenary for Flashpoint, a mercenary outfit for displaced magical girls and other such mercenaries such as yourself, located in scenic The Intersection, a dimensional nowhere and everywhere where you rest, recuperate, live, train and get details for your next job.

And you’re kinda pissed. Despite your recent sterling record, you’re currently on a mission that isn’t even friggen yours. Jeanette Bain, better known previously as ‘Magical Girl Goldline’, so she liked to claim, screwed up ultra hard on a previous mission, resulting in her dismissal, much to everyone’s shock and horror. Sarah Beedily, one of the fastest couriers you’d personally known, then got sent in to fix the problem.

She didn’t fix the problem. But someone else did. Specifically, some D-list mercs managed to stumble across Jeanette’s screwup, then stumble across Sarah herself, and now they’re holding that info hostage, in exchange for a freebie from some actual damn professionals.

Why Tily wasn’t more pissed off about this you have no clue. Then again, she was unerringly calm at the worst of times. Might’ve just been a mask.

Whatever. Right now you’re camped out in a western frontier world- thank goodness for small miracles- and from the looks of things, some tribal group is wanting to talk with you, asking for your help with ‘vengeance’.

Why is there always a tribal group?

>Previous threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Mewtwo%20Awakens%20quest.

I am Mewtwo, the result of an experiment to make the world's most powerful pokèmon. When my creators sought to control me, I broke out and left to find my origins, as well as the limits of my strength.

>Last time, we searched for the Silverock gym leader and instead found an old man who claims to be the ex-gym leader and has some issues with the current one. We accepted his challenge to a battle, but let Vulpix fight first...

I close my eyes and reach out with my thoughts to get a grip on Durant's location. The snow provides little resistance and I'm soon able to find it. Keeping track of Durant, I pulse <Its coming up from beneath you. Dodge right and hit it with a confuse ray in 3, 2, 1... now!>

Vulpix leaps out of the way in time, but as Durant bursts from under the snow, it launches a cloud of rocks, dirt and ice into the air as well, hiding it from sight and blasting Vulpix with the shrapnel. Vulpix sees a glimmer of metal in the cloud, and launches a confuse ray at it, only to find that Durant is no longer there and instead is right in front of her, slicing at her with its metal legs as it scuttles past, rust forgotten.

I can feel Vulpix wince as the claws connect. Thankfully, when it comes around for a second attack, I'm able to pinpoint it for Vulpix to hit with a second confuse ray. Durant staggers slightly, but keeps on coming and connects a second time leaving Vulpix almost visibly unsteady. <Do you want to swich out?> I ask her, but she stubbornly refuses thinking <I have to be able to beat an old, weak pokemon like that one.>

Now that Durant is confised, Vulpix can go back to chipping away with Icy winds and evading Durants pincers. The next time Durant attempts to Dig, it hits a harder than normal rock and crashes, allowing Vulpix to direct several shards of Ice down the hole, causing Durant to freeze and get recalled. The old man states "The thing about steel types is that they aren't always strong and slow, as my next pokemon will demonstrate. Before I do though, I'd recommend calling back that vulpix. Even I can see it's wobbling."

There's a fierce determonation pouring off of Vulpix right now, but what the old man is saying is correct. Vulpix is perilously close to fainting right now.

You are the former United States Navy warship USS HOEL, now returned as a shipgirl and ready to kick Abyssal ass!

The briefing room was crowded. MUCH more crowded this time. Not only were the benches and chairs packed to the brim with shipgirls from various nations, but you also note quite a number of regular naval officers and special forces troopers standing in the aisles and towards the back of the room, with a very few select lucky ones finding space to sit among the shipgirls, though you figure they had "connections" to get that sort of perk...

ANYWAYS, as always, the Admiral and Captain were up at the front of the room, facing everybody. Ever since you had passed information about Pacifica's existence to them, you hadn't heard a peep about her, and subsequent attempts to contact her via datalink by both you and Anna were unsuccessful, most likely because she had been disconnected from the network one way or another. It honestly kind of made you concerned.

However, you had the briefing to focus on. During the mad shuffle to find seating, you found yourself ending up sitting among...

>The destroyers.
>The cruisers.
>The battleships.
>The carriers.
>The submarines.

You are Gurie Niamc, a slightly older pokemon trainer and you are currently facing down the fearsome Darkrai.

You and Mimikyu are stalwart and should you win you will officially be the cutest pokemon duo in the entire tournament!

Well you will reach the finals. Which is all the better for you. To be honest being the cutest is a lot of responsibillity.

The boombox in the center of the arena is playing its chiptune as you face off in the battle version of musical chairs. If you fire a move off when the music cuts out you are banned from using that move for the rest of the fight.

The odds seem against you but if this duo was so indomitable why haven't you heard of this Tobias guy before?


>Pick a move
>Play nice. Weaken the foe
>Phantom Force, whatever Darkrai is planning dont let it
>Disarming voice, fairy moves are strong against dark types
>Thundershock, try to paralyze it quickly
>Phantom Hole. If hes going to use a legendary and be unfair, you are going to be unfair.

Marcus, the Doll Shop owner and Kuma (along Miya) were having a chat.

You decide to not bring up to either of them your theory that you could rig Miya's pituitary gland to produce gigantism. Additionally, you decide to not opt to become one of his employees - you considered to be better off on your own anyways. However, once the whale and the towering Doll left, you approached him.

"Hey, Marcus." you prompted.

"Yeah?"

"You know that I do Doll fixes and jobs, yeah? You can call me anytime you get a client who needs some fixing to see if I can do anything. And you'd get a finder's fee for it. How about 10% of the pay?"

Marcus looked at you for a moment, then aside, then back. "Well, alright. Sure. No guarantees about how many people I will send you though, but if I get something good, I'll send it to you for sure."

He shrugged. "No problem."

You took his hand to shake it enthusiastically. "Thank you!". You didn't lose anything with this kind of deal, because you weren't obligated to take the jobs they send your way anyway.

---

The workday ended, and Marcus finally payed up the $150 he owed Akira, granting you a total balance of $1200, ($1050 your, $150 Akira). You've already decided that any money she earned would need to pass by your approval first when it came to spending it, however you formally can't freely spend that money yourself (because its not yours). From now on, every day (if she goes to work and all), Akira will earn $50 more from her 'salary'.

---

"M-Money!" Akira cheered, nuzzling the bill, giggling. "It's amazing how a little piece of paper can be worth so much, Blake. Like, stickers at that mall store also have all of these shiny and cool stuff, but they're worth so little!"

You chuckled to yourself, as you gave her a quick look up from browsing some news on your phone. You noticed that under sleek, regal collarbones, her shirt was gently tented forwards about a thumb in length. She had been at that chest size for a bit now, but you still hadn't gotten used to it. "...That's economics for you." you told her, not really entirely sure yourself how the 'value' of paper money worked either, as you tried to avert your stare away from her round chest. You took a peek back up at her face, noticing her calmly looking at you. She must've seen you stare at her chest. However, Akira simply tilted her head slightly and smiled warmly.

Your name is DAN FARNICK and you're in a bit of a bind here.

You see, you have found the ALCHEMY WARP, a magical rift in spacetime that can COMBINE ITEMS. Sometimes LITERALLY sometimes METAPHORICALLY.

You finally found it.
It took days of searching. But you finally found it.

You're going to use it to rule the world.
This things power is not to be underestimated. It is said that it could even create items with MAGICAL PROPERTIES. But even if that winds up being untrue, it can still make all kinds of awesome shit.

But before you can take it for yourself, you need to pass a test.

You were trapped in this room. You must escape.

If you can do it, you will be granted the use of this power any time you want.

If you can't...
Well, you guess your going to starve to death?

...But it won't be a problem. You're sure that you can escape long before that happens.

But with that said...

You are Prince Meirion auk Gwyrren, the only sane man in a royal family with dubious concepts of strategy, justice, taxation, and governance in general. You have made it your goal in life to keep your family on the throne and your head firmly attached to your body.

===============

It's a rare occasion where Esyllt is sitting with you in the pavilion instead of Reagan. There are no petitioners, however; you're waiting for the arrival of her father, Meurig Coleran. She doesn't know why her merchant father wants to meet you aside from the fact that it must involve business, but that's self-evident.

The rest of your plans are proceeding on their own for the moment. You've sent a request for instructors and Myrddin and Reagan have gotten in touch with some trustworthy people in Olstren so you can deal with Duke Ferrid, so right now, you just need to wait until you hear back from them.

"Is there anything I should know before your father arrives?"

"Nothing you don't know or at least suspect already," Esyllt says. "He's a merchant, and he prioritizes profit over all else. He doesn't waste time or effort on sentimentality, but he understands the need to plan for the future." She absentmindedly pats her stomach. "He wishes to see the mercantile empire he built continue, but he won't make unfair demands. He can be difficult to deal with sometimes, but he insists on keeping his deals fair; he always told me that trust leads to future business."

A prudent sentiment for a merchant to have. It's much the same for a ruler, although sitting on a throne can occasionally require a flexible sense of honour.

The doors part and the herald standing outside speaks up.

"Mister Meurig Coleran."

Esyllt's father is tall, dark, and… tall and dark. He calmly strides into the hall, hands clasped behind his back as if he was strolling through a garden, and bows slightly when he reaches the middle of the room.

>[Dilettante/1d12] "Thank you for coming to visit us, Mister Coleran."
>[Dilettante/1d10] "Welcome to Degfford, Mister Coleran."
>[Dilettante/1d8] "Mister Coleran. Tell me, why have you come here?"

Far off, nestled in an otherwise small Japanese town lies the Dark Gate Academy. An institution of tremendous size, the Academy holds a long kept secret. Unknown to the outside world, this unseemly town is home to a tear in our reality. A gate between our world and a bizarre dimension known as the Darkworld. The inhabitants of this hellish world breach this gate and attempt to flood into our reality and spread throughout the world on a regular basis. However, the Dark Gate Academy is home to students of truly extraordinary abilities. The ability to sense the presence of these evil Darkworld creatures, and defeat them in combat, sending them back through the gate.

They cannot close the rift between our world and the Darkworld, but the students and staff of Dark Gate Academy have dedicated their lives to using their amazing powers to hold back the darkness that plagues our world, even if it costs them their lives. They have risen up to the challenge and in secret have become great heroic defenders of the world as we know it.

For many years, Dark Gate Academy has held back the forces of the Darkworld, kept this unspeakable evil contained within their walls. But a dark cloud approaches, and times are about to change. A new chapter in the tale of Dark Gate Academy is about to begin.

>Previously on Dark Gate Academy...

A chorus of metallic screeches and pneumatic hissing greets you as you wake up. Bound to a sheer, cold surface, your eyes strain to make sense of the situation. Your skin crawls, aches, and burns in horrible alternations, but the clamor of noise soon eclipses you pain. A booming klaxon, accompanied by orange flashes, signal your freedom.

The device you are trapped in spills open, sending you to the ground in a heap. You feel your bare skin tighten and contort as your lungs fail to function. Writhing on the ground, your senses slowly return as your body normalizes. You take a few minutes to recover...

When you regain your wits, you look up to discover where you are: a dingy, ruined medical bay. The tables and drawers against the far wall have been utterly ransacked, and the dispensing unit on the wall has been torn to jagged shreds. The device you were stuck in sits idle behind you, much less intimidating now that you're free. It's the sole device in this room that's intact.

You get up and try to open the only door in the room, but it doesn't budge. Continued attempts result in a meek and garbled message being played from some unseen speaker. The only clue is a sign on the door, barely legible and worn by years of neglect.

"Step back! A doctor will be here shortly."

You hear a sound come from the ceiling, and turn just in time to see a package fall from where the dispenser was once connected. A piece of paper flutters after it.

Lifting the package, you grab the paper and start reading.

"Welcome back to PR-R Colony. Unfortunately, you have died while serving your sentence. Don't worry! Our innovations in reconstruction technology means you get another chance. Here are your details:"

A large block of the text is scrambled or misprinted here.

"Please, get dressed and remain calm while a doctor is alerted to your revival."

The package contains a medical gown, three syringes, and a 'Bazzo Supreme!' canned iced coffee.

"Well, fuck..."

>Wait patiently for the doctor... or someone.
>Drink the coffee. Then ram that door. Someone's gonna pay.
>Search the room for any vents. If worse comes to worse, climb the fucking dispenser chute. I hate being trapped!

General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.

Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as circumstances warrant.

Combat mechanics are up in the air. Suggestions are welcome. We'll be trying some new things out so I appreciate your patience as we fine tune it. Stronger moves tend to take more time and have more cooldown than weaker moves, so beware of that timing. I also want to try a more varied turn system so you and your opponent can do a few things in a row more often. Speed is more important for closing ground, intercepting, and other things and doesn't necessarily mean going first.

Call me out on a mistake and receive a suggestive picture.

Gobble (Munchlax)
