Let’s Go Zero!
My name is Nameless. At least, that’s what I tell everyone. I don’t have a name, as far as I know, and that seemed to fit the most.
I was brought to an orphanage, with no past, no family, nothing, but a basket, blanket, and a two dragon tattoos. Mr. Monroe, the man who ran the orphanage, was a poor man, barely able to put food on the table. The kids, they teased me like crazy. Calling me a freak just because I had the dragon tattoos on me. One day I got a letter, and my life was changed forever, in ways you could not imagine.
-------------------
Nameless stared through the window of her room, just like she always did. Just like everyday since she got here.
“Nameless? You have a letter?â€
“What?â€
“You have a letter.â€
“I never get letters, Mr. Monroe. How many people even know I exist?â€
“Well this one does. Here,†the elderly man said, and handed her the white envelope. The
Nameless stared at the envelope, before tearing the top of it open and taking out a piece of paper from within.
Dear Nameless.
My name is Marcus Elric. Tomorrow, at noon, you have to be at this address. Please, I am begging you. I can tell you what I know of your past, and I need your help in the near future. Please, Miss Queen…
After that, Nameless read the address at the bottom, but her mind was focused on what Marcus Elric said at the end.
“Miss Queen?â€
-------------------
Nameless walked down the street, her already small, badly damaged shoes getting worst as she walked, the hot, summer sun beating down on her torn, damaged rags that she called clothes, her long, messy, dark brown hair covering her face.
She looked at the houses as she walked, and eventually came to a two story white house with an orange roof, just like the letter said.
“This must be it…†Nameless whispered and neared the door. Raising her hand up, she paused as she thought about what she was going to do. She let out a sigh of air, and reached one hand into her pocket, where she had a pocket knife, just in case. “Here goes,†she mumbled as she knocked on the door.
She waited out the door for what seemed like hours before the door finally opened. There stood a short, black haired boy, probably around her age. He wore a grey shirt, with black jeans and a matching sport coat.
“Hi.â€
“Umm, hello. I was told to be here by this letter,†Nameless said, and handed the boy the letter.
He took it and said, “Come on in. You can sit down in the living room, while I go look for my grandfather.â€
Nameless thanked him and stepped inside the house. It was nice, not fancy, or over the top, but a decent house.
“Right that way,†the boy said, pointing to the right. She nodded and came to the living room, where she saw two more boys, and a girl.
“Oh…um. Hi,†greeted Nameless.
The girl was older than her by a few years, yet was still shorter than her by an inch or two. She had a light brown hair color, which matched her eyes, with light, pleasant skin tone. She wore a white jacket, with a matching halter top and skirt.
“Hi there,†she smiled.
The boys were of both Asian descent, and slightly resembled one another. One of them was obviously older than the other, and was around the girl’s age, with the other around Nameless’ age.
The older one wore a red, zipped up track jacket with tan pants. He had a black as night hair in a mop-top style. He was pretty skinny, and also very tall. His brown eyes were covered by his black rimmed glasses, but Nameless could see this boy was examining her body in a sexual way.
“Hey.â€
“Perv,†whispered Nameless as she sat next to her fellow girl.
The last boy had short black hair, and also had brown eyes. He wore a green hoodie, with blue jeans. In comparison, instead of looking tall and skinny like the other boy, he was a few inches shorter, and slightly chubbier than the other boy.
“Hi,†he greeted.
“Good, good, you’re all here.â€
The four teens turned their heads to see an elderly man and the young boy from earlier. The man wore a lab coat and black pants, and had a long black cane in his hand. The bald man looked at each of them, and his smile grew at each person.
“My name is Marcus Elric, and... I have been waiting for this moment for quite some time, and yet I don’t know where to start. Please, if you haven’t already, introduce yourselves to one another,†the old man said. “You’ve all already met my grandson, Matthew Elric.â€
“Just call me Matt.â€
“I’m Alex King, this is my brother, Peter King,†the red track jacket wearing boy introduced.
“Yo,†Peter, the green hoodie wearing boy, greeted.
“I’m Angie Belle,†the girl smiled. “Happy to meet you.â€
“I’m Nameless.â€
“…â€
“…â€
“…What kind of name is that?†whispered Peter. “Ow!†he grunted as his older brother elbowed him.
“So Nameless…Why are you called that, babe?†Alex asked.
“Because no one cared enough to actually give me a name, and don’t call me babe!†replied Nameless. “I see you undressing us with your eyes,†she growled, causing Angie to turn a scarlet red and Alex to scratch the back of his head.
“Heh….Am I that obvious?†laughed the boy.
“Ahem. Now that we all know a little about each other, please follow me,†Marcus commanded, and began to slowly walk down the hall, the five kids following him.
“Hey, Matt,†Nameless whispered as they walked. “Do you know why your grandfather called us here?â€
“I wish. I don’t even know most of you. I recognize Alex and Peter from school, but I’ve never met you or Angie…†the boy answered.
“Here we are,†declared Marcus, as they came to a white wall. The hallway was empty, completely empty. No doors, closets, only a light bulb connected to the ceiling.
“Grandpa, where are we going?†Matt asked.
“My lab, Matthew,†the old man replied. He slowly placed his wrinkly hand on the wall and the five teenagers could hear a soft humming noise. Suddenly the wall slid open and the group saw a ladder leading down. “Come along now, children,†Marcus said as he gave Matt his cane and he began to climb down the ladder.
-------------------
“…So…Matt…Did you know your grandpa had a lab in your house?†Alex asked.
The ladder had brought the four kids had come to a new area of the house. The walls were silver, as was the floor. On the left of the heroes was a large TV connected to the wall and a large, grey couch, fit for a large group of people.
“Whoa…†Peter whispered as he saw the TV.
“Seriously,†Alex added.
“Grandpa…When did you make this place? How long has it been under our house?†asked Matt.
“There will be time for questions later, Matthew. Please, keep following me, everyone.†assured Marcus as he continued to lead the group forward. He then made a right turn, and walked down a hall with the five teenagers following him. “This… is the laboratory and medical bay.â€
“Damn…†whispered Alex.
“How…Did you make all this stuff?†Nameless asked.
“Yes, I did…Though, not alone, but I will explain more later,†answered Marcus as the five kids looked at the laboratory they were in. “Come along everyone, there’s very much more to this base.â€
-------------------
“This is the garage. Excuse the mess, I have been having to work hard on a few inventions, and haven’t had the time to clean,†the old man explained.
“Wow…†Angie commented. “This place is huge!â€
“Huge and messy,†Nameless added as Peter slipped on some oil.
“I’m okay!†he declared.
“Grandpa, when are you going to start explaining to us WHAT we’re all doing here?†Matt asked.
“In time, Matthew, I want to make sure you all understand this place before we begin…â€
“Well can’t you just tell us then show us around?â€
“…Very well. Everyone! Follow me!†Marcus commanded, and led the group out of the large garage.
-------------------
“Finally…this is the control room. This supercomputer is my own personal creation,†Marcus explained.
“Shiny…†Alex commented.
“Very shiny,†added Peter.
“Look at all the buttons…†Angie whispered.
“Ooooh…†the three said.
“…What is wrong with you three?†Nameless commented as the three started at the giant silver computer.
“We’re just trying to lighten the mood, babe. Try it,†answered Alex.
“What did I say about calling me babe?!â€
“AHEM!â€
“Sorry,†the two apologized.
“Don’t be…Truthfully; I was afraid of this moment. Please, hear me out; what I speak is the truth. Back in 1985, I was part of a North American funded think tank. I was put into a small group of scientist, and together we began creating five different suits of armor. We were close to finishing them, when the government cut our funding. While my three comrades lived and died, and I continued to work. Even when I took my grandson in my home I continued to work, and only recently have I finished the armors and their assortment of gear, and I have chosen you five to use them.â€
“…So…like Power Rangers?†questioned Peter.
“Ahem…For a lack of better words, I suppose you could compare it to that.â€
“Um…No offense, Mr. Elric, but that story sounds a little…â€
“Made up,†Nameless finished.
“Yeah…†Angie nodded slowly.
“Grandpa, are you feeling-?â€
Matt’s sentence was quickly cut off as Marcus loudly declared, “I AM NOT CRAZY.â€
“…I’m leaving,†announced Alex as he, Nameless, Angie, and Peter began walking out.
“Wait! Please, let me expla-â€
A sudden rumbling stopped everyone, causing them to fall to the ground as the whole place shook. “No…Not now! It’s too soon!â€
“What’s too soon? Grandpa, what’s going on?†asked Matt as his grandfather rushed his old body to the ladder, with him and the others following him outside. As soon as they were out of the house, they were met with an unbelievable sight. “What the hell are those things!?â€
“Puritan Reconnaissance Drones,†explained the old man. “They are programmed to destroy everything that does not fit the Puritan biological basis. In other words, everything on this planet.â€
The robots were a dark purple, and stood at about eight feet tall. They had piercing red eyes, and round circular heads, with a basic humanoid shape. One of them saw the group and turned to them and aimed its arm at them, fingers pointed at them.
“MOVE!†Marcus screamed as pellets of pure energy shot out of its fingertips. The team shot into two different directions, Nameless, Marcus, and Angie running to the right and ducking behind a car, with Alex, Peter, and Matt doing the same. “It’s time…Ladies, time to accept your destiny.â€
“Not this again,†sighed the younger girl, Nameless.
“Nameless, we should hear him out. Mr. Elric, what do you want us to do?†the older girl asked.
The old man reached into the pockets of his lab coat and pulled out two cell phone sized boxes. They were black, and had one numbers printed on them, as well as a strap and buckle. These two particular ones had, 01 and 03, on them in bold, white letters.
“Tie them to your wrists.â€
The girls looked at one another before nodding and placing the black boxes on their left wrists, and connected the buckle and strap. All of a sudden, both of the girls felt a sharp pain, which quickly stopped.
“What was that!?†shouted Nameless.
“The injection,†Marcus answered.
“Injection!?! What do you mean injection!? I swear if that was poison, I’m going to-â€
“HEY!â€
The three stopped their little chat to turn to Matt and the others and saw that five Puritan Reconnaissance Drones were focusing on the three. The laser bullets were tearing the car apart, and it was only a matter of time before they would die, either by the car exploding or by the bullets killing them.
“Save them! The Zero Transformers have mutated your DNA. You have powers now, you can save them! Oh, and give them these,†the old man added, handing Angie three more black boxes, or Zero Transformers.
“Right…Come on Nameless!†yelled Angie, standing up.
“Angie, wait!†the younger girl yelled, and grabbed the older girl’s hand, pulling her back down. “You can’t really believe this, can you?â€
“Look around, Nameless! Robots our attacking our friends! We have to help!â€
“We barely know them! How can they be our friends!?â€
“Everyone’s my friend,†the white dressed woman smiled, before standing up. “Guys, catch!†she yelled, throwing the Zero Transformers at them.
“Got it!†Alex and Matt declared. Zero Two for Alex, and Zero Four to Matt.
“Ow!†Peter grunted as his Zero Transformer hit his head. Zero Five for him.
Suddenly a golden forcefield shot up from out of nowhere between the robots and the three boys. The energy bullets disappeared into nothingness as soon as they touched the golden forcefield, leaving only small ripples in it.
“…Did you see that!?†Matt cried out.
“Kinda hard not to!†Alex replied.
“YES! Go now! The Zero Transformers will mutate your DNA when you put them on! Now is the time! Fight back against the Puritan Empire!†Marcus shouted; hiding behind a car as the five teenagers stood together, behind the gold forcefield.
“What do you guys think?†Nameless asked.
“Considering Angie just made a forcefield, I’m willing to kick some robot ass,†smiled Alex.
“I still can’t believe I made this,†commented the young woman.
“Believe it!†Peter yelled with his best Naruto impersonation.
“…Can we just do this?†sighed Matt.
“Angie! Drop the forcefield…NOW!†Marcus commanded. “Zero Squad, ATTACK!â€
“Zero Squad?†whispered Nameless as they charged at the five robots.
The five teenagers moved with superhuman speed, dodging the laser bullets, and were soon face to face with the robots. Alex pulled back his fist and slammed it into the robots head, tearing through it like the metal was tissue paper.
“Damn!†the King boy yelled, looking at his fist.
“HA!†Nameless screamed, dodging the laser bullets and tackling the drone to the ground. She pinned it down and let out a loud, high scream in its face, next thing she knew, a blue fire shot out of her mouth, engulfing the robot’s face and reducing it to slime.
“W-what the hell?†the young girl coughed. “I-I just shot fire out of my mouth…Awesome!†Nameless grinned, madly.
Angie held her forcefield up, blocking the laser bullets, before using the shield to tackle the robot. She then pushed the shield down, forcing the robot down on the ground, with the energy field crushing it.
“I’m really sorry about this!†the Belle girl cried out, before crushing the robot. When she looked at it, she let out a sad whimper, feeling bad for the poor machine.
Matt charged at another drone and ducked down and slammed his leg against the drone’s legs, making it fall down. He then raised his foot and slammed it down on the robot’s face.
“…Ow! OW! OW!†he cried, holding his foot.
“Need help?†giggled Nameless, before shooting a blast of fire from her hand, at the robot’s head, melting it. “I could get used to this…†she smiled. “You okay, Matt?â€
“Fine...†the boy grunted, holding his foot.
“HA!†Peter screamed, and karate chopped the robot’s shoulder. “…AHHHH! ****! My Hand! What the crap was I thinking!?†the boy cried. “Huh? Ahhh!†the younger King sibling screamed as the robot aimed its arm at him. Suddenly a green energy beam wave shot out of Peter’s hands, sending the robot flying into the air, and landing on his older brother.
“OW! Damn it Peter!†Alex screamed, breaking the robot with his hands.
“Yes! Victory!†Marcus shouted.
“That was crazy! Good thing no one saw,†commented Nameless.
“Where do think everyone went?†Angie asked.
“Everyone in the neighborhood must have run off when the drones came,†Matt explained. “They’ll be back.â€
“Good, now that’s done, I need to explain to you the full power of the Zero Transformers.â€
-------------------
“Lord Erebus.â€
“Mephisto…What is it?â€
“Our Recon squad was destroyed by a batch of humans…â€
“Humans? Destroying our creations? Impossible. Send down several squads of drones. We need to know what exactly we are dealing with.â€
“As you wish, my lord.â€
-------------------
“The Zero Transformers respond to thought. They can be activated as soon as you think about activating them, but to do that, you need to focus your minds. They have also mutated your DNA to give you fantastic powers.â€
“Obviously,†whispered Nameless.
“Nameless, you have the power to produce, and manipulate fire, it seems. Alex, you have super strength. Angie, you can create solid light forcefields. Peter, you can shoot out green energy waves, perhaps a form of telekinesis. Finally, Matt…I am sorry; son, but I do not know what your mutation is.â€
“Maybe it’s the power to shrink. How else can he be so short?†Alex joked, before being elbowed by his brother.
“Jacked up, dude,†his brother commented.
Before the conversation could be continued, a series of whooshing noises could be heard. The six humans looked up into the air and saw more than two dozen black dots.
“What are those?†Angie asked.
“Puritan drop pods! Look out!†Marcus warned as the pods crashed into the ground. The black pods suddenly cracked open, letting out steam as Puritan Reconnaissance Drones walked out of the black pods.
“…Oh ****,†Peter said.
“Now is the time! You have to use the Zero Transformers and summon your armored suits!†the old man commanded.
“How!?†Alex screamed.
“Focus, create your armor with your mind! Picture power! Picture the strength to beat these evil monsters!â€
“Ummm…How do we that?†Matt asked as Angie made a shield, blocking a wave of laser bullets.
“Guys? Hurry up and figure out how to transform! I can’t hold this forever!†the young woman yelled.
“Ideas?†asked Nameless.
“We could try a battle cry…? It works for the Power Rangers,†Peter stated.
“…Worth a shot. Come on Peter,†Alex commanded, and the King siblings walked forward, standing on the left and right of Angie. The older sibling whispered something into the girl’s ear, and she in turn whispered something to Peter.
“Change soul set!†the three declared. “Let’s Go On! Met on!â€
“Mach Full Force!†Alex shouted. “Go-On Red!â€
“Just Correct!†added Peter. “Go-On Blue!â€
“Smile Blooming!†smiled Angie. “Go-On Yellow!â€
“…â€
“Well the robots stopped shooting,†commented Alex.
“I think you just made them think you’re crazy,†Matt said.
“Any more ideas?†asked Angie.
“It’s morphin time!†Peter screamed, before being smacked on the head by Alex.
“Any smart ideas?†sighed the older King boy. “Huh?â€
Everyone watched as Nameless charged forward and screamed. “Angie drop the shield!†The older girl quickly obeyed and the younger girl suddenly burst into a blue light and jumped into the air. “Let’s GO ZERO!â€
In a flash, a drone was sliced in half, with another being stabbed in the chest. Both were destroyed in a fiery explosion as the group saw an unfamiliar sight.
A blue armored figure stood before them, with black and gold lines travailing down her figure, with the Zero Transformer still on her left wrist. She had a black visor that took up the entire face of her helmet, and had a black scabbard connected to the waist of her armor, with the glowing samurai sword in her hand.
“Who wants some?†Nameless smiled as she held her katana.
The other four looked at one another and smiled and ran forward and stood shoulder to shoulder, with Nameless in the middle.
“Let’s GO ZERO!†they shouted.
The four of them burst into different colored lights, red for Alex, black for Matt, green for Peter, and white Angie. When the light dimmed down, each one of them now wore a suit of armor, much like Dragon.
Alex’s armor was red, with silver lines going down it, with silver chest and shoulder guards. He had a thin, horizontal green visor, with two holsters on his belt. Reaching into them, the boy pulled out two red pistols, and aimed them at the drones.
“Oh yeah.â€
Next to him was Angie, who now had a white armor on, with a golden trim going down her body, with a gold breastplate. In her right hand was a metal long bow, with bladed tips at the end. On her back was a jetpack, complete with two white metal wings on the sides of it, like some kind of steel angel.
“Wow…â€
Matt had black armor, with a silver trim, and a blue visor. He looked like a knight in black armor, complete with a sword and shield. He sported a long black cape, and held his sword in hand.
“I could get used to this…â€
Finally, Peter had green armor and a silver trim, with a black visor. His hands had a fiery green aura on them and he made a few kung fu poses, before making a comedic crane style pose.
“POWER RANGERS!â€
“YES!†Marcus screamed.
“…Hey, why aren’t they attacking us?†wondered Alex as the drones just looked at them.
“Maybe they’re trying to laugh at us,†mumbled Matt. “We look like freakin Power Rangers!â€
“They’re analyzing you! Attack now!†ordered Marcus.
“Analyzing, eh? ANALYZE THIS!†screamed Alex as he picked up a car and tossed it a trio of drones.
As soon as the drones were crushed, the others began to open fire and our heroes charged forward. The drones opened fire upon the five, but their bullets did little to stop the heroes’ charge. Angie suddenly took to the sky, flying into the air as the others began battling with the drones on the ground.
“Dude! Check it out!†Peter shouted, pointing into the air. “Is that a news helicopter?â€
“Focus!†Nameless screamed, shooting a blast of fire at a nearby drone, melting it.
“Huh? AHHH!†screamed the green warrior as a drone dashed forward at him. “Umm...Gun? No. Sword? No. Shield? No! WHY DON’T I HAVE ANY WEAPONS!?!†he cried as the robot neared.
“Make something up! Remember! The armors are mental based!†yelled Matt as he sliced a robot’s head off.
“Mental…Mental…†whispered Peter, closing his eyes within the helmet. “GIGA…! DRILL…PIERCER!†he screamed and he heard a loud noise fill the air. It sounded like metal began broken through, and then gears and wires being torn and destroyed. “Huh?â€
When the young King boy had opened his eyes, he saw through his visor a long, green staff. At the end of the staff though, was a large silver drill, which had torn through the drone.
“HAHA!†he yelled, and suddenly the drill turned into as blade, making the staff a scythe. He tore through the robot and it exploded as he stood there, scythe in hand. “Am I awesome or what?â€
Above them, white arrows made of pure energy rained down from above. Angie was flying with impressive skill and grace. “I’m like an Angel! I can’t believe th- AHHH!â€
“Keep your mind on flying next time,†groaned Peter as Angie sat on top of him.
“Heheh…Sorry,†the girl giggled nervously. “Huh? Ack!†the Belle girl screamed as her head was grabbed by a drone. “Let…go…of…me!†she ordered, and a golden forcefield shot out of the ground, slicing the robot’s hand off, freeing her. “HIYA!†she yelled, slamming her bow against the robot’s head. “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry! Are you okay?†she gasped, realizing what she just did.
“HIYA! HA! RAH!†screamed Nameless as she cut down robot after robot.
“…You’re enjoying this a bit too much, aren’t you?†asked Matt as he blocked laser fire with his shield.
“I’m not the only one,†she replied, before blasting a burst of fire from her hand, melting more robots. She then motioned her head at Alex, who was firing his fully automatic laser pistols.
“Fifteen! Sixteen! Seventeen!†the older King boy yelled as he destroyed drone after drone. “It’s like a videogame!†he screamed after headbutting another drone.
“…Is he okay?†Angie asked.
“Just happy,†smiled Nameless. “I feel the same WAY!†she then sliced a drone’s head off, and stabbed another in the head. “Nineteen! Twenty!†she counted.
As the Zero Squad cut down the small army of robots, there was soon only one left. They surrounded the last robot, but backed away suddenly at the face of the robot popped off.
“…Gross,†commented Peter.
“Wait, what is it doing?†asked Nameless as she saw red symbols in the head of the robot, changing once every second.
“It’s a bomb!†Matt yelled. “It’s trying to blow us all up!â€
“…Bye!†cried Peter, who tired to make a run for it, only to meet Alex’s fist.
“Can’t we just smash it?†the older sibling asked.
“We don’t know what that would do! You could just set it off!†yelled the youngest boy. “…I think I can diffuse it.â€
“…You’re going to try…and diffuse an ALIEN BOMB!? WITHIN AN ALIEN ROBOT!?!†asked Alex.
“…A little faith wouldn’t hurt.â€
“He’s right, it wouldn’t,†agreed Angie.
“Can we please stop talking and diffuse the bomb!?†sighed Nameless.
Matt nodded and looked into the machinery of the bomb. He began to slowly rewire it, plucking wires and reconnecting them, and taking chips out and putting them back in.
“Do you know what you’re doing, Matt?†Nameless asked.
“I…I do! I can understand all of this! The mutation! It must have affected my brain cells, everything makes sense. All I need to do is take out the energy transfer wires, and make sure they don’t connect to the drone’s CPU, thus allowing the robot’s self destruct mechanism to be deactivated!â€
“…Um…Okay?†mumbled Angie as she and the others gazed on.
“I didn’t get any of that,†Alex commented.
“There! And he’s dead!†declared Matt as he pulled out one last wire. The drone suddenly stopped and fell to the ground, powerless.
“And it looks like the news cameras caught it,†added Nameless, pointing at the news copter.
-------------------
“Yeah, she’s Zero One, the blue armored girl, that is Zero Two, the red one, Zero Three, the white one is Zero Three, I’m Zero Four, and that’s Zero Five, the green one,†Matt explained as he talked to the news reporter.
“TV really does add ten pound,†joked Alex as the six of them watched the TV.
“You heard it here folks! It seems superheroes really do exist! And those heroes’ names are…?â€
“The Zero Squad!†the five armored heroes yelled on the TV.
“So…Does this mean you all agree to help me battle the Puritans?†Marcus asked as they sat in front of the TV.
“Like we got a choice? I’ve been trying to get this thing off since we got here!†declared Nameless as she pulled on her Zero Transformer.
“I’m in,†stated Alex. “I like this. Breaking stuff is awesome.â€
“Sure, I’m in two,†added Alex’s brother.
“I’d love to help,†Angie nodded.
“I’m in, grandpa.â€
“Thank you. All of you.â€
“I have a question though, grandpa?â€
“Which is, Matthew?â€
“Why did you choose us? I mean, Alex and Peter King, Angie Belle, Nameless, and me…What do we have in common?â€
“Remember back when I told you I worked with three other scientists on creating the Zero Transformers? Their names were Nicole Queen, Aurora Belle, and Charlie King. Your grandparents helped me create the Zero Transformers. To ensure they could never be used for evil or injustice, we put DNA locks on each. Only someone with our DNA could use it. You five have the closes matches with my comrades dead, and I doubt your parents would have believed me.â€
“Huh…So…Nameless’ last name is Queen? Nameless Queen?†mumbled Peter as the five took in what the old man said.
“Nameless, you can stay here with Matt and me. I left some of Matt’s clothes if you accept; you can wear them until we can find some real clothes for you.â€
“Oh! I can help you dress and do your hair!†Angie stated, taking the once orphan girl’s hand and leading her to the bathroom. bath wouldn’t hurt either?â€
“Whoa!â€
“Energetic babe, ain’t she?†commented Alex.
-------------------
“I’m not going out there…â€
“Come on, Nameless, you look great!â€
“Let’s see her already!†yelled Alex.
“Alright…Here I go,†sighed the younger girl as she stepped out. The three teenage boys turned red as they saw her, and a stream of blood fell out of Matt’s nose.
Nameless had on tight blue jeans, which hugged her lower body. She also wore a black and white striped shirt, with a blue coat over it. She had short, shoulder length brown, and stared at the ground with her amber eyes.
“How do I look?â€
“…Nameless…YOU ARE DAMN HOT!†screamed Alex.
“Thanks Alex and it’s not Nameless anymore. You can call me, Dragon. Dragon Queen,†Dragon introduced, showing off her twin dragon tattoos on her arms.

Author’s Note: Hey there. So…references in today’s chapter. Obvious Gig Drill reference to Gurren Lagann fans and Super Sentai Go-onger reference, which was The attempted transformation scenes. Now to talk about the characters.
Nameless, or Dragon, is based off of the classic tsundere archetype. Tsundere is a Japanese classic in which a character is violent, mean, irritable, and impatient, but deep down is a good, kind, and loving person. Characters like Haruhi Suzumiya and Naru from Love Hina. In fact, Dragon is (slightly or greatly, make of it what you will) based off of Haruhi!
Angie is based off of those clumsy, beautiful, shy, nice, innocent girls, like Mikuru from Haruhi Suzumiya, and Tsukasa from Lucky Star. Now, before you ask, NO! Dragon won’t be molesting Angie.
