2 - The Nightmare
No one's POV
We see a giant castle, and inside is a room containing all but 2 of the summoned students from Y/n's class.
Female Classmate: I still can't believe we're in another world!
Male Classmate: Right?! It feels like we're in a dream!
As all the students are talking, Dennis enter the room in a different attire.
Dennis: Hey! Get of your asses already! The training's about to resume!
The rest of the class then grabs their respective weapons, and as they head out, Dennis looks out the window and see Emilia sitting outside with a sad look on her face.
Emilia: *sigh* I wish you were here Y/n...
As Emilia walks off, Dennis looks at her with rage.
Dennis: Why the hell does that little brat L/n keep interfering with me, even now?! I'm the freakin' hero! So why the hell will she not shut up about Y/n?!
Dennis then breaks a window, shocking everyone.
Dennis: *awkward laugh* Sorry about that. You all go on ahead.
As the class goes on, Dennis looks at his hand.
Dennis: Y/n... When the Demon King is dead, and we back to our world... I'm going to murder you in cold blood.
The scene then changes, and we see Y/n back with Shen in the Demon Realm.
Y/n: *groans* I forgot how it took to actually make it here...!
Shen: Hmm... You know, Master, there's something I'd like to check with you, if you don't mind.
Shen then brings out some of her mist and opens a gate.
Y/n: Woah! That's your mist.
Shen: Beyond it is a demiplane that I control.
Y/n: If it's another illusion, I'm punching you in the face again.
Shen: It's a space we can enter and exit through mist gates. This way, please.
Y/n and Shen then enter the mist, and is shocked to see the terrain.
Y/n: Wait... Are we in the game now?! I have to ask her!!
Y/n: Shen... where are we...?
Shen: That's right. This place is... Where, exactly?
Y/n: YOU DON'T KNOW?!
Shen: MY DEMIPLANE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A DARK, EMPTY SPACE!! THAT'S WHY I DON'T KNOW!!!
Y/n: *gasps* I think I know what happened!
Shen: You do...?
As the two start walking through, Y/n starts to explain his theory.
Y/n: After our 80-20 contract was formed, your demiplane must have taken the appearance of the wild area in the Galar region.
Shen: Galar region...?
Y/n: It's an area in the game Pokémon Sword and Shield, where I got my Pokémon.
Shen: Oh!
As they go through the area, Y/n notices a tree with honey crisp apples on it.
Y/n: Woah... An apple tree!!
Shen: Apple tree?
Y/n: It's a fruit in my world. My memories of my world, and the world of the Galar region must've merged together somehow.
Y/n then walks up to the tree and takes two down, one for him and one for Shen.
Y/n: Here, try one. You can eat it as it is.
Shen then takes a bite, and smiles.
Shen: This is delicious!
Y/n: Pretty good, right? You know... If we can make this kind of produce here, and the demons have never heard of it, we could build a city off of it, and rebuild the destroyed town, and possibly renovate to make it bigger than before.
Shen: You want to rebuild a city, huh?
Y/n: Yeah. By the way... Have you killed any demons that come up to the mountains?
Shen: What are you talking about? It's impossible for any demon or human to escape my mist. Plus, many humans have tried, but died before making it up to me.
Y/n: Well, let's go get that mess cleared up.
*Time-skip*
We see the town of Veritas, when a mist comes up, shocking the demons. As it happens, Y/n and Shen come out of it.
Y/n: Damn... It's so freaking hot out here... The demiplane was a bit more comfortable.
Rivkah: Y/n!
Y/n turns and sees Rivkah running towards him, alongside her father.
Braxrel: You made it back alive? Did you actually defeat the dragon?
Y/n: Ah! Well...
Shen then interrupts Y/n.
Shen: I am the dragon.
Everyone minus Y/n: Huh...?
Shen: He suddenly attacked me. It really hurt, you know. No one will marry me now that I've been punched in the face.
Y/n: YOU ATTACKED FIRST, YOU STARTED IT!!!
Braxrel: F-Forgive my rudeness... But I find your statement hard to believe. After all, a powerful dragon being beaten by a human doesn't seem logical.
Shen: I was captivated by my master and formed a contract with him. One in which Y/n is dominant.
Braxrel: I see... Do you any proof to back up your claim?
Shen: I do. Here, these scales came off during our fight.
Shen then tosses Braxrel some of her scales, and is shocked when he sees them.
Braxrel: Th-These are...!
Shen: *Image Below* Still don't believe me?
Braxrel: N-No! I believe you now!
Rivkah, shocked by what she's witnessing, passes out from pure shock.
Y/n: Rivkah!
Braxrel: My little girl!
*Time-skip*
After the events that had taken place, the demons gained a trust towards Y/n, and allowed him to stay at a nearby inn, which was rather torn down. Right now, a party's being thrown, due to the Shen no longer hurting the town.
Rivkah: I can't believe Y/n was able to form a contract with Shen. It honestly feels like a dream.
Rivkah then walks up to Y/n, and doesn't see Shen.
Rivkah: Where did Shen go?
Y/n: Well, she said she wanted to clear up the problem with your father. Don't know how long that's going to be though.
Rivkah: Well, Y/n... Thank you for saving my family and my home. If there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know!
Y/n: You don't have to thank me! But, if you are offering, I would like to know how to use magic.
Rivkah: You've never used magic? Many humans learn it when they're young.
Y/n: Oh. Better make a passible excuse.
Y/n: Well, when I became a Pokémon Trainer, my mother decided against teaching me magic. I'm now realizing I'd have a bit of an advantage if I'm not able to bring out a Pokémon in time.
Rivkah: *giggles* You really are an odd human.
Meanwhile, in another area, Shen explains the situation to Braxrel.
Braxrel: I see. The humans attacked your home, made it part of their land, and forced you to run away.
Shen: Yeah, that's the long and short of it.
Braxrel: Well then, it not only proves that Y/n is different from other humans, but it was thanks to the young lady that our residents wouldn't have to try and fight you.
Shen: Indeed, though I doubt my master would tell you about that himself. Also, my master's a male.
Braxrel: Y-You serious?
Shen: I am. I looked into his memories, and learned that he is, in-fact, a male.
Braxrel: Oh! Still, I'd like the formally thank him.
Shen: Don't worry about that. But I do have one suggestion.
Braxrel: A suggestion? What do you have in mind?
Shen: How would you like to have this entire city rebuilt, be given new life, and during that wait, live in a rich and fertile land?
Braxrel just looks at Shen in shock.
Braxrel: I'm listening.
*Time-skip*
The next morning, we see the demons that live in Veritas with their stuff packed up, and Y/n looking at them in shock.
Y/n: Shen... What is this?
Shen: Can't you tell?
Y/n: No. That's why I asked.
Shen: To put it simply, they're moving.
Y/n: Moving?! Where are they going to move?!
Braxrel: I'll explain that. Shen offered us to live in her demiplane while you make plans on rebuilding our home.
Y/n then grabs Shen and pulls her aside.
Y/n: Shen. What did you do last night?
Shen: Well, you did say something about renovating this destroyed town, remember?
Y/n: Oh. Right... Should I be worried a bit for their safety?
Shen: Not at all! The water, air, and environment there are all of exceptional quality. I've also thrown in an assortment of Pokemon from your memories.
Y/n: Shen, that's not something good! Pokemon don't just obey you! Plus, I have the only item that can capture them! What happens if they get caught in a battle, or for some reason, the Pokémon Dynamax?!
Suddenly, a small hand tugs on Y/n's skirt, and a voice is heard.
???: If there do that, I'll deal with them.
Y/n looks down and sees a young girl with the same appearance as Shen.
Small Shen: I'll be around, so they'll be fine. If they're attacked by any high level Pokémon, I'll fend them all off!
Y/n: SHEN!!! WHEN DID YOU HAVE A FREAKIN' LOVE CHILD?!
Shen: Please don't scream like that master. This isn't my child. It's a fragment of me.
Y/n: Shen can make clones of herself?!
Y/n: Shen. You need to me tell all of your abilities if you wish to keep this contract alive!
Shen: I shall, in due time.
Y/n: *sigh* Fine... *clears throat* Still, are you all sure this is what you want.
Braxrel: Yes. After all, you saved our home, and if you plan to rebuild it, it could become a new land for us to live in.
Y/n: Ah, I see...
Braxrel: Also, a lot of us are getting annoyed when it rains, especially the ones that don't have a roof under their head.
Y/n: That's a good reason. *to Shen* So how are we going to move them to the demiplane?
Shen: By me absorbing the entire town.
Y/n: What?
Almost instantly, the town is absorbed by the mist, leaving only a forest.
Y/n: Well... This is a good start, to say the least.
Shen: Indeed! The demons of this area... are now the very first residents of my demiplane.
Y/n: By the way you said that, it sounds like you're planning to make everyone we meet live in the demiplane. First we rebuild. Second, we get everyone settled in the new town. Then after that, we can work on coexistence.
Shen: Very well then, Master! Let us build a city the likes of which this world has never seen!
*Time-skip*
A few days after the demons became part of the demiplane, they started working on the produce of the landscape. The demons managed to gather a ton of wood, and they managed to build a log cabin for Y/n to stay in while they work.
Inside of the cabin, we see Y/n sitting in a chair, with him manipulating different types of magic.
Y/n: So for my magic affinities... my strongest one is Fire. I mean, Scorbunny was my starter, so it makes sense in a way. But still... what's Abyss magic? I've never heard about that type in games before...
As Y/n practices, a voice is heard, followed by a giggle. Y/n turns around to see Shen looking through his memories.
Shen: Historical animes are truly marvelous! They're all fantastic!
Y/n: You're getting way into this, aren't you?
Shen ignores Y/n and reaches towards his head.
Shen: Time for the next episode.
Y/n: No way! You've watched way to much already, and this is coming from a Weeb! How many series have you watched?
Shen: Well, why shouldn't I? All you do is practice your magic!
Y/n: Well, I have my reason. I'm only doing based on what YOU said! And why am I the master?
Shen: Because you're my master. It's only natural.
Y/n: Well then... If I'm the master of this land, then I order to stop watching any and all anime for the rest of the day.
Shen: How heartless! Just one more episode, please!
Shen then grabs Y/n, and as he pulls her off, a fanservice scene from a dating sim Y/n played, called Guiding Hearts, comes out of his head, which shows a nekomata girl.
Y/n: ...
Shen: Oops. My hand slipped.
Y/n then blushes and wipes the memory away.
Y/n: STOP DIGGING THROUGH ALL MY MEMORIES!!!
Shen: How heartless. But I recorded them so I can watch them at any time.
Y/n: If you recorded them, then stop watching them directly through my brain!
Shen: *Image Below* But it's so much more powerful, meow.
Y/n: Please don't the mimic the characters. It's not a good suit for you.
Shen: Please, Meowster.
Y/n: Hmm... How about this? If you can give me one good reason for why I should allow to continue, then I'll consider allowing you to keep doing it.
Shen: Well... It's the difference between a photo and a video- no. It's the difference between CG cutscenes and simple flashbacks!
Y/n: Okay, fine! I'll allow you to do it! But I have to approve of when you're doing it, and you have stop using gamer terms!
Y/n: How much did she take from my memories? If she went through everything, I may have possibly created the first ever dragon gamer girl!
Shen: I suppose it is inconvenient for me that you can't move while I'm viewing your memories. I'll need something to serve as a TV.
Shen then starts to head to the front door, which catches Y/n's attention.
Y/n: Where you going?
Shen: While I figure out how to build a TV in this world, I'm going to go gather some materials.
Y/n: I'm coming with. Fighting monsters can not only help with magic, but also see what my Pokémon can do. Plus, I was thinking of doing something, so it's killing to birds with one stone.
Shen: Very well, then. Let us head out, Master!
Shen then opens a mist gate, allowing her and Y/n to exit the demiplane.
Shen: So Master, where should we head first?
Y/n: I was thinking we head to human civilization.
Shen: Why to the Empire?
Y/n: Since I haven't been to human civilization, I want to see what it's like. Plus, from what I've heard, I don't know if the humans there are what I've heard when I was summoned here.
Shen: Ah. Well, luckily I was able to grab a map of the world from the demons, so we can work from there.
Y/n: Alright then! Let me see it!
Shen then hands me the map and I see a good look at the land.
Y/n: Wow, this is a big continent. Now where are we on this map, Shen?
Shen: Believe it or not, we're actually near the border of the Demon Realm to the Empire.
Y/n: Then let's get moving!
Shen: Still, we should be careful. There's a high chance that "it" might be still be there.
Y/n: It?
Shen: Oh, right! You're not a native of this world, so you have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm talking about what's known as The Nightmare.
Y/n: The Nightmare?
Shen: Yup. It's a ancient creature that's existed for a couple thousand years now. It used to live in the labyrinth know as The Arid Labyrinth, but one day, a battle the Nightmare was in destroyed it completely. The Nightmare's intentions aren't know, but as long as we aren't dragged into someone's problem, or we run into something that belongs to the Nightmare, we should be fine.
Y/n: Ah. I see...
Y/n's Thoughts: *Video Below*
https://youtu.be/T6gkhCD5pfU
The two continue to walk towards the Empire, but as they get closer, Y/n trips and breaks a spider web.
Y/n: What's with the spider web?!
Shen: Did you break a spider web? That's not good.
Y/n: Why is that not good...?
Shen: The Nightmare is connected to it's webs, even it's far away. You breaking that web will lure it here.
Before Y/n can say anything, something jumps down from the trees and tries to kill Y/n, but he luckily dodges, having it only cut a part of his hat.
Y/n: Are you serious?!
Y/n then looks up and sees it's a giant white spider.
Y/n: That's The Nightmare?!
Shen: Oh, dear. I see it's as powerful as ever.
Y/n: You seem awfully composed, Shen! Can you handle this? You seem to know it more than I do!
Shen: It's not going to pay attention to me. Plus, I don't have a sword, so I can't fight. You're on your own.
Y/n: Dammit!
The Nightmare then goes for another attack, but Y/n dodges it by 0.1 inches.
Y/n: Okay, focus! Which Pokémon would be best for this situation?
The Nightmare keeps attacking Y/n, and he panics.
Y/n: You know what, screw it! Just grab a random Pokéball, and hope for the best!
Y/n then grabs a Pokéball and tosses it out, revealing it to be Charizard, which he named Pumpkin.
Y/n: Okay Pumpkin, use Dragon Claw!
Pumpkin then nods it's head and attacks the spider.
Y/n: Now!
Y/n then rushes up to it and hits the spider in the gut, knocking it back. The spider then brings out a bunch of black portals, and they start firing black magic at Y/n and Pumpkin.
Y/n: Pumpkin, dodge 'em!
Y/n quickly dodges them, but gets hit by one of them.
Y/n: *panting* Damn... This thing's tough...
Y/n: How the hell am I supposed to beat this? It's healing quicker then I can damage it! Wait a second... If I cat cut off one of it's legs and eat it... ew... I can copy one of the Nightmare's skills!
Y/n: Pumpkin, return!
As Y/n returns Pumpkin, he brings out a Pokemon that might be able to do it.
Y/n: Come on out Aegislash!
Y/n then brings out Aegislash.
Y/n: Okay, Aegislash, use Fury Cutter to cut off one of that spider's legs!
Aegislash then rushes towards the spider, and cuts off one of it's legs, but taking a bit of damage in the process. Y/n then grabs the cut leg, and gulps.
Y/n: Down the hatch!
As Y/n eats the spider leg, the world stops around him.
Y/n: Huh?
Suddenly, a new voice is heard.
{Selected the Desired Skill to Copy.}
Y/n looks and sees the spider has a crap-ton of skills.
Y/n: Holy crap! There's so many skills! Still, I need to pick the one that help me in this situation... but the question remains, which one is it?
As Y/n looks through the skills, he sees one that catches his attention.
Y/n: Spider Thread... With Thread Control and Divine Thread Weaving?! Let me this Spider Thread Ability!
Suddenly, a screen pops up, showing Y/n it's skills.
{Spider Thread. A spider skill that allows one to produce spider thread, a rare material. Thread Control. A skill that allows one to telepathically control the thread and alter it's shape. Divine Thread Weaving. Allows one to control the thread on a molecular level.}
Y/n: That's perfect! If I can tie it down, I make the fight end sooner!
Y/n: Alright! I wish to copy Spider Thread!
Suddenly, the world's time resumes, and Y/n's body starts to glow.
Shen: What did Master do? All he did was the Nightmare's leg!
The Nightmare then screeches at Y/n, and rushes towards him, but using his new skill, he quickly restrains the spider.
Y/n: Alright. Now, let's-
Y/n then stops as it notices that the Nightmare is shacking in fear.
Y/n: Did I... scare it...?
Y/n: From what I heard from Shen, this is a powerful monster... But from what I'm seeing, it must just be misunderstood... I mean, the humans here are basically corrupted from what I heard.
Y/n: *sigh* You know what? Screw it!
Y/n walks up, takes Aegislash back, and unties the Nightmare.
Shen: What is he doing?!
Y/n then walks up to the Nightmare, pulls out a Max Potion, and tosses it onto the Nightmare, healing it.
Y/n: There... we... go...
Y/n then falls to the ground, due to exhaustion. The Nightmare then slowly walks up to Y/n and starts to inspect him.
Shen: Oh no! It's going to kill him!
Shen then starts to run over, but realizes that she won't make it in time. However, shocking Shen, the Nightmare starts to heal Y/n's injuries.
Shen: What...?
???: Thank you!
Shen: Huh?
The voice is shown to be coming from the Nightmare itself.
Nightmare: I honestly thought I would've died, but you saved me, despite starting this fight! I don't how to repay you, but I will!
Shen: It's... talking through a telepathy ability?
Shen: Uh, could I interrupt you for a moment?
The Nightmare looks over and sees Shen.
Nightmare: Um... Are you with this girl?
Shen: I am with this human, but it's not a girl. This human's a male who looks like a girl. Now can you please move? I want to make sure that he gets his rest.
Nightmare: Oh, of course! Let me just finish on healing him first.
As The Nightmare heals Y/n, Shen speaks up.
Shen: It's been a while, Nightmare.
As the Nightmare finishes healing Y/n, she looks at Shen with a look of confusion.
Nightmare: I'm sorry, do we know each other? You don't look familiar.
Shen: Do you not recognize me because my appearance has changed? I'm Shen, the greater dragon.
The Nightmare then crawls back in pure shock, knowing that this was someone who was actually hard to fight.
Nightmare: YOU'RE SHEN?! WHY DO YOU LOOK HUMAN?! AND WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS HUMAN MALE?!
Shen: Calm down, Nightmare. To answer your first question, I'm basically his servant now. Nightmare, you did say you would repay him, right?
Nightmare: Yeah, what does this have to do with it?
Shen: I'm saying that you become his servant as well. The contract does allow this sort of relationship.
Nightmare: Wait. So the reason you look human is because of your contract with him? Plus, do you think he'll be able to handle it? Not many humans can make two contracts with monsters that have power levels like ours.
Shen: It should. I checked his magic power, and commanding both of us at once should be a simple task for him. Plus, having you follow him around with your reputation would only worsen his situation.
Nightmare: True... Fine, we'll do the contract. But we should wait and get his consent first.
Shen: We can always get it later.
Nightmare: *sweatdrops* You really don't seem like his servant... *sigh* Alright, fine. Let's get it started.
Shen: Very well then. Let us perform the contract ritual immediately.
Nightmare: Thank you.
A bright red glow then surrounds the others, as the Nightmare takes on a more human form.
*Time-skip*
We now see Y/n waking up in a tent that Shen put up.
Y/n: What happened? Wait. Did The Nightmare not kill me?
???: Thank you for saving me.
Y/n turns to his left and sees a young girl with red eyes, and everything else being all white.
Girl: I will serve you until the end of my days, Master.
Y/n: Who is this girl...?
Y/n: Um.... Thanks... Who are you...?
Girl: Ah, right! This is the form I gained through the Ultimate Servant Pact.
Y/n: Eh?
Nightmare: I'm the Nightmare!
Y/n: Y-You're what...? That white spider I was fighting not to long ago?
Nightmare: Yup!
Y/n: You said it was through the Ultimate Servant Pact, right? I thought both sides needed to consent for it to work...
Nightmare: Shen did it for you.
Y/n then starts to get angry, shocking the Nightmare.
Y/n: SHEN!! GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!
Shen then comes in and sees Y/n.
Shen: Ah, Master. You've finally awakened. How are you feeling?
Y/n: I'm feeling great Shen! I could take on the- Wait don't change the subject! You entered me into a second contract with my knowledge and consent!!!
Shen: It's better then having the Nightmare be in it's normal form following you around.
Y/n: *sarcastic tone* Oh, thank you so much! I'm blessed to have such a loyal servant!
Shen: Aw, I'm not that great, Master.
Y/n: I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!!!! *sigh* Look, I'll overlook this, just make sure you get my consent if something like this is to happen again. If you don't, no more peeking at my memories.
Shen: You're so cruel!
Y/n: It's the only thing that'll work for you, so make sure this doesn't happen again.
Shen: Understood, Master!
Y/n: Well, let's start heading towards the Empire.
As Y/n starts to head out, Shen grabs his arm.
Shen: Not yet. There's one thing we need first. It's very important that we get it done.
Y/n: Okay, what is it?
Shen: You need to give me and The Nightmare names!
Y/n: *GIF Below* Huh? You... want names? Why?
Shen: Without names, the people in the Empire will have no idea what to call us.
Y/n: Are names that important to you?
Shen: IT IS! IN FACT, IT'S A MATTER OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO MONSTERS!!!
Y/n: Okay... But what's wrong with your name, Shen?
Nightmare: I'll explain. In a contract like yours, the dominant one can name the monster, and therefore the one who receives the name gains more power. Some monsters even evolve into a new form. It can also work even if the monster isn't in a contract like you and Shen.
Y/n: So naming someone is like a Pokémon evolution to them, huh? Well, I don't know how far Shen's name and Nightmare's have gotten in this world, so it would be bad if I was to be hunted by the humans just because of their names.
Y/n: *sigh* Alright. Shen, you're up first.
Shen: Thank yo, Master! Now, what shall my name be?
Y/n: So, a good name for you. What would that be...? Hmmm...
Shen then smiles, hoping for a good name.
Y/n: *GIF Below* Hmmm....
Shen: I'm so excited!
Y/n: *GIF Below*
Shen: IS IT THAT HARD TO COME UP WITH A NAME?!
Y/n: I'M THINKING OF A REALLY GOOD NAME FOR YOU, SO YES IT IS!!!
Y/n: Wait a minute. She said that she'd be preferred to be called a samurai... And after looking through some Japanese History in class...
Y/n: Shen, your new name is Tomoe.
Shen: Tomoe?
Y/n: *nods head* Yup. I've studied some Japanese history, and it's the name of a valiant female samurai.
Shen: There were women samurai?
Y/n: Yup.
Tomoe: Very well then! I accept the name!
Suddenly, a bright yellow aura leaves Y/n's body, and goes into Tomoe.
Y/n: What just happened?
Tomoe: Nightmare did say that there were benefits to having a name be given to you, and receiving one from you has increased my magical strength.
Y/n: Wow. That's impressive, Tomoe.
Nightmare: I'm next, Master.
Y/n: Right.
Y/n then looks at Nightmare and starts to think.
Y/n: Well, seeing her now, besides her eyes, she's all white. There's no other way to describe her. Wait. White... I can use the Japanese term for it!
Y/n: Shiraori. That shall be your name.
Nightmare: Shiraori...?
Y/n: Like Tomoe's new name, it's a Japanese term. In English, it means White. And since your appearance is all white, there's no better name for you than that!
Shiraori: I accept the name.
Y/n: Alright, then! Now let's head to the Empire!
Shiraori and Tomoe: Right!
With that, the three then begin to make their way towards the Empire.
To Be Continued...
