Konosuba/Re: Zero. Kazuma Satou, Subaru Natsuki. Chapter 1: The newbie and the veteran.
Let us go back to the day Subaru was summoned to the kingdom of Lugnica only this time Kazuma gets sucked into the same world as Subaru after having spent some time in Axel. Therefore Subaru will only have return by death, while Kazuma has basically all his abilities from the end of light novel 9. Subaru has positive expectations, while Kazuma already knows how shitty living in a fantasy world can really be. So let us see how this duo will overcome their challenges.
You know I had a feeling today was going to be shitty, but I thought it would at the very least involve Aqua, Megumin or Darkness to some extent. I did not expect to be sucked into another world while in Wiz's shop. Luckily I still understand the language and writing automatically, let me do a check of myself.
Kazuma's notes:

What is that guy doing, and is that a tracksuit. I would bet he is from Japan, oh please don't tell me he is a newbie.
"Hey, you want to tell me why you have your arm pointing to the road?" I asked the guy, he might be from Japan, since his clothing is sticking out like a sore thumb.
"Eh, I was just doing some stretches," he tried to excuse himself, but he was clearly lying.
"You were trying to cast magic, weren't you," I accused which instantly turned his face into a deep red color, which could make a tomato envious.
"N-no, like I said I was just doing some stretches," he again tried to wriggle himself out of the embarrassing moment, how prideful could this guy be? Just admit it already.
"You are from Japan right?"
"How did you know that!?" He yelled at me in shock.
"You have a tracksuit on, and I am also from Japan, name is Kazuma Satou," I explained going for a handshake.
"Eh, my name is Subaru Natsuki," he returned the handshake with a smile as the shock started to fade away.
"Ok, I take it you were just summoned since you made an utter fool of yourself," I guessed which he nodded too.
"So are you supposed to be my mentor and tell me about how this world works?" He hopefully queried.
"Nope! I was just summoned into this world as well, I don't know shit about this world," I quickly shot him down, I am not going to babysit some newbie.
"But you have a bow and a katana, that is not something you just walk around with in Japan, you have to have some experience,"
"I do have experience, but not with this world, I was messing with an item from my friend's shop, and boom I am suddenly in another world, AGAIN!" I explained to him.
"Oh, ok, so we are going to be like a duo exploring the world together?" He said hopefully.
"Suuure, we can be a duo, how much damage can you take?" I asked
"Ehm, I can take average damage, maybe a little bit more since I train every day," He answered honestly
"Great, do you have any items with you from your world, or have you been granted any cheat items by let's say a goddess?" I continued to question the guy as I scribbled down.
"I have a bag of chips, and a phone on me, and I can't remember meeting any goddesses or gods," the guy continued to answer honestly.
"Interesting, and how old are you?"
"I am 17, about to be 18, what are you writing down there?" he asked curiously.
"Ah, you know, important information," I excused myself.
Kazuma's notes:
Natsuki, Subaru
Usefulness: Low
Intelligence: Average, maybe below
Naïve: Yes
Equipment: 1 cup of instant noodles, 1 bag of my favorite chips, 1 cellphone
Age: 17, soon 18
Cheat item/ability: No, or doesn't know about it.
"Now we can go and explore right?" Subaru asked in a hopeful tone.
"Sure, you first," if anything kills you or harms you I will know to not go that way.
We walked around for a bit until we reached a toilet, I could clearly read signs saying "women" and "men", but this guy is either a big pervert or he can't read, because he just waltzed right into the women's department and got smacked out of there in an instant.
"You are a pervert, oblivious or stupid, so which one is it?" I asked Subaru, now wearing a big pawmark on his cheek.
"I can't read any of this, how was I supposed to know," he complained.
"Hmm, you can't read, that is interesting, what does that sign say?" I asked as I pointed to a sign saying Appas.
"I don't know, it is just unintelligible scribbles for me," he said exasperated.
"Hey cheer up man, let us go somewhere else in the meantime," I guided him to an alley way to sit down as I picked up the bag of chips and popped it.
"Hey, I was going to save that," he complained as I opened it and started to eat.
"I am hungry, and this is my favorite type of chips, and I haven't had these in forever so zip-it,"
"You can hand those over to us then, with all your other belongings," A thin tall boy with blue-greyish hair said, making my {Enemy detection} skill to go off. On his right you had a little midget half his size, and on his left was a brute twice his size. I could clearly tell that the guy in the middle was the leader.
"I think we are being robbed," Subaru stated the obvious.
"Indeed, that is something I am actually not used to," unless I count Aqua.
"Don't worry, it is now we get saved by a girl or you show me your skills since you are the experienced one of us," Subaru explained.
"I don't know if that is going to-" I stopped as a girl with golden hair came speeding down the alleyway catching everyone's attention, which I took as the opportunity to activate {Lurk} and steal everything Subaru had of use on him before I got myself on top of the roof. So now I sat on top of the roof eating chips while watching how this would develop.
"Hmm, summoned, I don't know what you are talking about but I am really busy, sorry, now live strong okay," The girl with golden hair and CRIMSON RED EYES, said as she jumped up the roof like nothing, granted I had done the same just before.
"Wait, what, where are you going!" Subaru yelled after the girl as the leader grabbed ahold of him, while the girl jumped up next to me before continuing her run.
That was basically Chris, just with Darkness' hair and Megumin's eyes. I noted to myself as I continued to watch Subaru now frantically looking around for someone, me I would presume.
"Hey get down here and help me!" He yelled at me as we made eye-contact.
"I already am, I got all our valuables, so even if they beat you up they won't get anything out of it," I said as I flaunted all his stuff.
"You asshole!" He yelled back at me, making all of the robbers confused.
I think they were about to give up until Subaru turned around. Yelled "You bunch of EXP," then proceeded to punch the big dude in the face, before he did a roundhouse kick which sent the little guy flying. I thought he was going to win the whole fight until all his confidence drained away the moment the leader pulled out two knives, and he started to beg for his life.
"Oh, they are so going to kick his ass," I called it before the leader kicked the prostrating Subaru in the chest, proceeded by the other two getting up and kicking the absolute shit out of him. Which he kind of deserved after ruining my perfect plan. I was even about to step in before I heard what I thought was Megumin yell at them to stop. Which again caught everyone's attention, even mine.
"Give me back what you stole and I will let all the other things slide, be good and hand it over please" Fake Megumin pleaded or demanded, it was hard to gather from her tone.
"So you didn't come to save this kid?" The brute asked while pointing to the person he was currently stomping on.
"What strange clothes he has…" Fakeumin pointed out, "No, never seen him before," She continued
"Well then you've got no business with us! If someone stole from you it was the brat that just ran by," The brute said as he pointed to me sitting on the roof.
"NOT ME! HE MEANS A GIRL WHO JUST RAN BY!" I quickly yelled before the girl got a chance to use any magic on me. I had a feeling she could use magic, based on her voice, and if she in worst case scenario could cast {Explosion} I would be gone with the rest of town.
"You don't seem to be lying," Fakeumin said as she ran past them, making all three let out a sigh of relief. "But regardless of that, I can't overlook what is going on here!" She exclaimed as she summoned ice magic and shot one baseball sized ice cube at each of them.
"Ouch that just got to hurt," I muttered to myself.
The guys sputtered something about "not being afraid of a magic user," until Fakeumin suddenly summoned a grey, white talking cat, with a purple bag. Which made them run away as quickly as possible. Note to self: that cute little cat is dangerous, and Fakeumin can cast useful magic that doesn't drain away all her mana.
Kazuma's notes:
Fakeumin
Usefulness: Great
Intelligence: Average, maybe above
Naïve: maybe
Equipment: Nothing noteworthy
Age: looks between 16-19
Cheat item/ability: Yes, little grey-white probably OP cat.
"You saved me, thank-"
"Don't move!" Fakeumin ordered making Subaru blush.
Oh no, he is in love, I don't want to deal with this.
"See? You averted your eyes because you have a guilty conscience!" Fakeumin falsely accused Subaru, yeah that's going to be some points towards average intelligence. "Looks like my judgement was spot-on,"
Okay she is sure of herself too, that is not a good mix.
"Are you sure? I think it was just an instinctive male reaction," The cat accurately pointed out. I might have to make a page just for him.
"I didn't sense any malice in him at all," I'll write that ability down for sure.
"You be quiet Puck," Fakeumin ordered, before she redirected her attention back to the beaten up Subaru.
"You know who stole my insignia from me, don't you?"
"Uh, sorry but, I don't have the slightest idea," Subaru excused himself.
Suddenly Fakeumin changed her mannerisms and started to go on a rant with her flying cat, in the meantime Subaru tried to get up, but instead he just passed out from all the damage he had taken. I guess it is time for me to see if they can help him. I got down from the roof and went over to them.
"Can you do any healing magic for my companion, he seems to be pretty beat up at the moment, in return for your help, I can help you find whoever stole your insignia, she ran past me not too long ago, and I got a good look on her," I said, trying to not sound creepy.
"Hmm, you promise you will help us find the thief?" Fakeumin asked with a hopeful undertone.
"Yeah, but can you help him with those injuries first," I pointed to the passed out Subaru.
"I don't sense any lies or malice from him," Puck said.
"Very well then, we will help your companion and in return you lead us to the thief," Fakeumin said.
"Deal!" I exclaimed.
"Puck transform into something bigger so we can put his head on something soft," She ordered her cat which he quickly followed going from his pocket sized form to a human sized form.
"So you can do healing magic too?"
"Some, but I nowhere near the level of a person I know, she can pretty much regenerate organs from scratch," Fakeumin explained.
"Yeah, I know someone like that too," I retorted.
"Really, they must be a very powerful person to be able to do that," Puck noted.
"She is powerful, but she isn't very bright," or useful for that matter.
"So how do you two know each other?" She asked me.
"Met him on the street a couple of hours ago, the dude doesn't know how to read so I tried to guide him around, and then we took a break here, those three guys tried to rob us, so when the thief girl distracted everyone I took all our stuff and went up to the roof. They were about to let him go, but then he punched two of them, so they beat him up in return," I explained.
"Why didn't you try to help him get rid of the thugs when they were beating him?" Puck asked me with a judging stare.
"I didn't have any arrows on me, and I don't really want to fight three guys without knowing how strong they are," I quickly retorted.
"So you don't like risking yourself for others?" Puck asked me, I could tell he was judging me.
"Every time I have tried it only ends with someone dead," by someone I mean me, it is always me.
"Poor you, did you know the people that died well?" Fakeumin asked with genuine pity on her face, those eyes and hair really reminded me of Eris so I kind of took a liking to her.
"Yeah, you could say that," it was me after all.
"My condolences, that must have been hard,"
"After a while you get used to it,"
"Hmm, oh I think he is waking up," She pointed out.
"Oh, hang on am I in somebody's lap," He pointed out the obvious yet again, silent salute for you man.
"You're awake?" She asked him.
"A little weird for a cute girl to be this hairy, but whatever," oh dear when he realizes he is going to scream.
"WAIT THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT!" He yelled as he turned around to look into giant Puck's blue eyes. They stayed like that for a few seconds before Subaru shot up and screamed in panic, now clinging to the wall like he had seen a ghost.
"We were just trying to make you happy and comfortable until you woke up, there is no reason to get freaked out," Giant Puck said in a girly high pitched voice to mock him. I like this magic cat.
"First of all stop talking in that high-pitched voice, nobody with half a brain would confuse a cat with the main heroine," He complained, totally forgetting that this is not some stupid game or anime. Hopefully I am not going to be stuck with this idiot for too much longer.
"Aww, listen to you, seeing you so happy made turning myself bigger totally worth-"
"I'M NOT HAPPY AT ALL!" Subaru yelled back, he was clearly frustrated, which made it all the more fun to laugh at him.
"Ok, enough of this, are you going to tell me where the thief that stole my insignia could have gone?" Fakeumin directed her attention back to me.
"How valuable would you say the insignia is?" I asked.
"Priceless," She quickly retorted.
"What would the consequences be if it, you know someone else got their hands on it?"
"That would be disastrous," She answered again quickly.
"Ok so stolen, priceless goods that has significant consequences if in the wrong hands," I noted to myself, Wiz's shop almost always dealt with such items, and her shop lay in the outskirts of town with almost no traffic.
"My first idea would be too look in the outskirts of the outskirts, like a slum, the area would have little traffic of guards and the items could be sold without law enforcement hearing about it," I deduced.
"Hmm, that actually sounds really logical, it sounds like you have previous experience with selling mysterious goods from that deduction," Puck pointed out, that cat was perceptive, or could he read my mind like Vanir.
"The thief also looked rather scrawny or malnourished like a friend of mine, so she has to be pretty poor which would reaffirm her living in a bad area, like the slums," I pointed out.
"Hmm, well that would be sufficient information in exchange for my help, since spending more time with you no longer serves a purpose I will be on my way," Fakeumin said as she got up and waved us goodbye.
"Sorry, she is so insincere sometimes, but don't think badly of her, ok?" Puck said, which made Subaru start mumbling about something, which I didn't catch before he started running after Fakeumin.
"Well, he is your problem now, I will be on my way," I said before Puck appeared in front of me blocking my path.
"I don't trust you, what if you are making us walk into a trap, you smell funny too, not like your companion, yours is unfamiliar but it still reminds me of sloth and wrath," Puck menacingly said as he triggered my {Enemy detection}.
"O-ok, I will join, just cool it a little Puck," I stuttered out.
"Interesting choice of words," He calmly noted as the hostility towards me feigned away.
When we came out of the alleyway Fakeumin was discussing with Subaru about something until Puck (Now pocket size) floated to her shoulder and spoke.
"I don't sense any malice here, so I think you can just accept his offer, after all the more shields between you and the ruffians the better," Puck stated as he looked towards me and Subaru with a smug look.
"A SHIELD THAT IS ALL YOU WANT ME AROUND FOR!" Subaru yelled back at Puck clearly offended. But his logic was pretty sound, if you had to sacrifice someone to keep your mistress or friend safe, why not just let it be some idiot you found walking around on the street.
"Let us just get this over quickly, lead us to the slums girl," I said as I just wanted to get away from these three, especially that scary cat.
After walking for an hour we reached a pretty secluded space when Puck had the bright idea of making us all introduce ourselves. I didn't want to know her real name, Fakeumin sounded better in my head.
"I might as well go and get the ball rolling first then, my name is Subaru Natsuki, not only am I totally clueless I am also broke beyond compare, nice to meet you," He stupidly introduced himself as he did a somewhat ridiculous pose, I have seen worse from Megumin and the other crimson demons.
"If that is how you introduce yourself you really do sound hopeless" Puck said, which was what I was thinking as I facepalmed internally.
"Well my name is Puck, it is nice to meet you!" The cat exclaimed as he flew towards Subaru and crashed into his hand.
"It is very unusual to see someone who can touch a spirit as casually like that, where are you from exactly?" she said, but I think she meant that Subaru was being careless and stupid.
"Well if things follow the usual pattern, it is a small island nation to the east," Subaru explained, why couldn't he just say he is from an island, or hell say you are from a place they call Japan. Why would you say something that includes our worlds geography.
"But Lugnica is the eastern most country on our continental map, there are no more countries in that direction," Fakeumin pointed out, making him look like a proper idiot, why am I always stuck with an idiot.
"No way, there is nothing east of here?!" He uttered in complete shock, dude you are in another world what did you expect.
"You have no idea where you are, you have no money, you can't read, but at least you have this guy that can help you," Fakeumin clearly didn't catch me trying to walk away from him earlier, but whatever. "Ehm, Subaru right?" She asked timidly catching his attention and making the guy blush.
"Yes, that is my name," he retorted while he started to nibble on his thumb.
"All that aside you seem like you are in pretty good shape," Puck pointed out.
"I do try to work out every day, you see when you are the shut-in protector of your own home, you got to stay fit as much as possible," He proudly explained.
"I am not sure if I understand what a shut-in is, but I assume it means you are from a reputable family, right?" Fakeumin said while she grabbed ahold of his hand and started to study it.
Why is he so proud of being a shut-in, at least I can say I am not that, I died outside after all.
"Your finger too, they are very pretty, they don't look like the working hands of a peasant at all, and your muscles don't look like the kind you gain from doing field work," She continued to explain as she studied his hand closer, which made him red as a tomato.
"Can we just get the move on, we still need to find that insignia," I interjected, trying to hurry the search up.
"Wait, I still haven't heard your name, would you tell me what it is?" Subaru asked.
"Oh, my name?" Fakeumin nervously asked, which he instantly answered with some nodding and a dumb smile on his face.
"It's… it's Satella," she said looking straight at him, which made Puck do an involuntary gasp in surprise, which told me that she was definitively lying, but if it would get Subaru moving, then great. "No family name, so that is the way you may address me, alright?" Fakeumin said.
"I see, Satella it is, that's a nice name," Subaru complimented, which clearly surprised her, making her look at me.
"What are you staring at, we got an insignia to find," I said making Puck let out a sigh of relief as he mumbled something to her.
"You should introduce yourself too," Subaru annoyingly pointed out.
"Kazuma Satou, ok, can we please get going?" I pleaded, I didn't like being outside when it was dark, especially not somewhere I didn't know anything about, so I felt that getting this done while the sun was still shining was essential to our success.
"Why are you in such a hurry Kazuma?" Puck asked, his voice cold and calculating.
"Wouldn't be easier to find the thief while the sun is still up?" I answered with my own question.
"I can't argue with that, but how do we know where to look for the thief?" He asked me.
"We could ask around if people have seen a girl with golden hair and red eyes," I answered.
"Oh, very well then, good sir would you-"
"Hmph," a middle-aged man snorted and ignored her as he started to walk away from us.
"Hmm, I don't think they are going to sell out one of their own," Subaru pointed out.
"Yeah, we would need someone that looks like they have been beat up or gotten their clothes ripped and dirtied," I noted to myself as I started to look at Subaru.
"Eh, why are you all staring at me like that?" Subaru asked nervously as Puck and Fakeumin started to stare with me.
"Subaru, why don't you try to ask around for the girl?" I suggested.
"O-ok, well, hey dude can I talk to you," Subaru went up to another guy, I would guess in his thirties and he actually started to talk with him instead of walking away.
"So, what did you gather, did he tell you anything useful?" I asked.
"He told me that the girl we are looking for is named Felt and that we should probably go to a loot house in that direction, told me to ask for "Old man Rom," and then he said "Live strong"" Subaru explained as he pointed out our next destination.
After a few minutes of walking we reached a run down building I would presume to be our destination, the sun was starting to go down so I felt we needed to get this done quickly.
"Subaru go and knock on the door, if you get killed we will know not to step up to the door," I jokingly told him, which only earning a glare from him, those scary eyes of his really sent a shiver down my spine.
"I would be glad to do so if Satella asked me to, but not you Kazuma, especially after raising all those flags, if she were to-"
"Ok, I will knock on the door, before you say something moronic, AGAIN!" I was tired of this guy, now it really felt like he thought all of this was just a game, and he was the protagonist.
I knocked on the door, which felt like it was about to fall off its hinges. The wooden door was clearly rotten in a few places and it had some kind of mold growing at the bottom. After a few seconds I could hear some light footsteps as the door opened to reveal a girl, with red eyes and golden blonde hair. Why do the two first girls I meet remind me of Megumin and Eris, what is next they are princesses too so I remember Iris on top of it all.
"What do you want?" She asked, clearly suspicious of me, I made sure to block her sight of the two behind me, maybe she would take off the moment she saw Fakeumin or Subaru.
"The insignia you stole would be a good start," my inner negotiator kicked in, she was clearly expecting someone I might be able to pass as them.
"You got the money?" She asked narrowing her eyes at me, in response I checked my pocket and found my coin pouch, and shook it a little in front of her.
"Come on in then," she said opening the door wide, which also unfortunately revealed the sight of Fakeumin and Subaru to her. Her reaction was instantaneous as she tried to run back inside, but I was quicker and cast {Bind} on her making the rope from my belt wraparound her, which in turn made her faceplant on the floor.
"HEY!" An older man, sorry a giant man thundered in outrage from behind his bar as he started to run at me with his club raised.
"{Create water}, {Freeze}" I chanted first casting water on the wooden floor, which quickly froze as I dodged the side swing of the giant as he slipped on the ice and crashed through the door and landed on ground outside. I took out my mithril alloy rope and cast {Bind} once more.
"That should take care of them," I noted as I went over to Felt and started to check her pockets with no regards to where my hand wandered.
"HEY! GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" She yelled back at me as I took everything she had on her of items, which wasn't much, just a blade and what I would presume is the insignia. The moment it left her pocket the red gem in the middle stopped shining.
"Is this the insignia?" I asked for conformation showing it off to Fakeumin.
"Well yes indeed, thank you so much, I don't know how to show you my gratitude," Fakeumin joyfully sprung at me as she saw the little insignia, the moment she took it the red gem started to shine again, making me curious.
"Hey, great work there Kazuma, I might have misjudged you, you took those two down like nothing," Puck praised me, finally giving me a chance to breathe easy.
"Yeah sure, but just curious what makes that gem light up?" I queried.
"Oh, this lights up when someone worthy of being a ruler candidate touches it," Fakeumin explained to me.
"Why are you asking?" Puck questioned me, but his tone was friendlier this time.
"Because it was lit up when I took it from her, so doesn't that mean she also is a ruler candidate?"
"WHAT?!" My information clearly shocked both Puck and Fakeumin as they stared at me in disbelief over what I just told them.
"Don't believe me, test it yourself," I gestured to the defenseless little girl laying on the floor.
"Very well then, can you hold it up to her cheek Subaru?" Fakeumin asked as she offered it to him, which he quickly took, his cheeks now burning red.
"O-of c-course," Subaru was able to squeak out.
I personally think pressing it to her cheek will only get your hand bitten, but I am not going to stop an idiot from doing something stupid.
He put it to her cheek, and the red gem started to light up once more. "Can you stop that, your hand is cold!" Felt complained before she bit him just as I expected her to do.
"This changes a lot," Fakeumin said in realization as she picked up the insignia.
"Indeed, now I will have to kill all of you," A woman's voice rang out from behind me, and my {Enemy detection} flared up again, but I reacted to late as everything went black, before I again sat in my usual chair with Eris sitting opposite of me.
/Subaru's POV
I was stroking my hand after that little girl bit me, and then I heard Satella's beautiful voice ring out, before the atmosphere changed drastically as a new woman appeared.
"Indeed, now I will have to kill all of you," She spoke as I heard a thud hit in the floor as I looked at Kazuma's severed head lying next to his body.
"AHH!" My heroine screamed out as she jumped back from the newcomer, I was frozen from a mix and terror and shock as I looked at my companions severed head, the last feeling etched on to his face… tired, wait that couldn't be right.
"PUCK HELP ME!" Satella ordered, even in distress she looked really cute.
"I am here for you!" Puck quickly retorted as he summoned forth a bunch of icicles each the size of a runners baton.
"Oh, you have a spirit, I have never had the pleasure of cutting open a spirits belly before," the woman creepily noted as she kicked Kazuma's head away like a football.
"Cut me loose!" Felt screamed at me only to get a knife stabbed into her back, making me jump back and try and get as far away as possible from this monster.
"I have to slaughter every last one of you, but he seemed the most capable so he had to go first," she pointed to Kazuma's dead body as she licked her bloody knife seductively.
"You will pay for that!" Satella yelled at her in anger, damn she is cute even when she wants to take revenge.
Suddenly Puck summoned forth a sea of icicles and shot them at her in less than a second, if I had blinked I would have missed all of it. "That should have gotten her," Puck noted.
"Don't say that you are going to jinx it!" I yelled out, and of course, the cliché kicked in and when the ice broke away, the woman stood there with a big menacing grin on her face, with her blades drawn.
"I will make sure to kill you next, half-elf!" she exclaimed, her words like poison before she took off from where she stood and rushed behind Satella, quicker than I could even register.
"Not if I kill you first!" Puck stated as he forced a barrier between Satella and the woman's blade. He quickly followed up the defense by shooting icicle after icicle at her, but she either managed to evade them with her acrobatics, or crush them with her blade, that was until her foot got stuck in some of the ice, leaving her an open target for both Satella and Puck.
"You didn't think I was just throwing those around at random, did you?" Puck rhetorically asked with a smug tone.
"Looks like I have been had, oh my," She stated calmly as she nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders.
"Say GOODNIGHT!" Puck cheerfully stated as he and Satella charged up another attack.
First, there was a growing blue light coming from their hands, before a pillar of ice burst forth, heading straight for the pinned down murderer, at a frightening speed. It was about to hit her, but in the last second, she was able to evade being crushed or speared to death by the pillar as she gracefully landed a few meters away from it.
"My how lovely, I thought I was going to die," Her voice sounded euphoric, as she declared it.
"Puck can you keep going?" My heroine nervously asked Puck.
"Sorry, but I am sleepy, think I underestimated her, it is past five and all my mana is gone, so I am done," Puck informed her in a yawn.
"Don't worry I will take care of things out here, so you can rest, thank you for your help" She told him with a smile on her face.
"Remember if anything happens to you, I will act according to my contract. If it comes down to it, call me, even if you have to squeeze me out of my odo," he said as he disappeared, which to me looked like he was dying.
"Oh, you are going away," she said in feigned disappointment as she used an item to stick something around her bleeding foot, stomping it twice, like you would check if a shoe was fitting your foot. "Well, that is terribly unfortunate, FOR YOU!" She maniacally roared, instantly rushing Satella.
"I will beat you!" Satella yelled as she blocked attack after attack from this crazy lady
"And how will you manage that? With him maybe, look at that boy, it is like someone cast a freeze spell on him, since he hasn't even moved an inch to help you," That bitch pointed out, I wouldn't tolerate that so I picked up the first large thing I could use as a weapon, and rushed her.
"Oh my, it seems I triggered something inside him, coming at me with that rusty sword," She mocked, but I didn't falter I pressed on and swung at her, but she wasn't there anymore, and my belly felt warm and wet. No, my stomach burned, as I could feel something wet run down my pants. I fell to the ground clutching my stomach, it was the most pain I had ever felt, the pain just got worse for every second and breathing became the hardest task I have ever faced.
"So sloppy, but let me see," She seductively said as she cut my left arm off, she CUT MY FUCKING ARM OFF.
I wanted to scream but doing so would mean I couldn't breathe so I started to whimper instead. Was I about to die, I didn't want to die like this, scratch that I don't want to die this young, I want to do things with my life. All the sounds around me started to get muffled as I did my best to stay alive. Then I saw Satella fall to the ground next to me, her gentle hand surrounded in light.
"I will find a way to change this, I promise I will save you!" I managed to mutter out as I gripped onto her hand as tightly as I could not letting go, then everything went dark.
