59 Releasing Trouble, Zelda Small interlude Part 1

I woke up two days later. I was in a new medical room by the looks of it. It had to be in my Nether Realm from the ambient mana in the air. I could see Sophia and Miranda to the side working on something. I felt a hand holding mine. Looking around it lead to ahead of fuller blond hair. Well, two heads. One was Agria behind her was.. Jaina.

'What in the world is going on?' I tried to speak to whoever I was connected to. I felt Zelda stir and wake up first.

'You are awake. That is good.' Her smile was neutral but I felt the happiness in her tone. 'I won't bother to ask how you are feeling. I can feel it. As for what is going on.. your wolf tried to break out. It almost broke the laws of this world a few days ago. Why I cannot say. However, they are involved in it.'

'They who?' Focusing I entered my mindscape. "Who are you referring to? Just tell me, no guessing or that nonsense." My eyes moved around as I noticed a lot of the statues were missing. We were also standing in a temple of sorts well a courtyard anyway. "Ehh.. nice work "

"Of course. As for this.. it is your fault as much as mine." Zelda said stopping a laugh. "While you were in that facility and switched the process of your mind up, things started changing. The other you realized something was wrong. We both were the throbbing you felt in your head."

"I take it you couldnt get through to me?" She nodded gently. "Well, at least you were safe. You were safe, right? I didnt go all Jekyll and Hyde on you did I?"

"I am safe. Thanks for asking. As for Jekyll and Hyde, I dont know who they are. The other you was just like you in a way. But less personal. He was always mindful not to say the wrong thing as we worked." She looked down at the stone floor. "I didnt like it." She mumbled.

"Say that again." I looked at her thinking I heard wrong.

"I said I didn't like it. You are rude as hell most times. And definitely a lot. But you are honest. He treated me like glass! As if I wasn't even real." She started crying. "I am no fragile creature!"

"Oh.. crap. Um, hold on." I was not expecting this when I came and talk to her. "Wait a minute." Flexing my mental energy the other half of my mind appeared. "Just look," I said to her getting her attention. When she looked up I touched hands with myself and fused. It didnt feel weird or hurt in any way. "See the same person. I was just focused on getting our people out."

Zelda didnt say anything as she stepped forward. She started touching my face. She pulled my cheeks and laughed when I furrowed my brow. "It is you." She didnt stop for a bit. "Those are the expressions I am use to. I know this is your mind and all.. but can you not send the other half here?"

"I do not think that is possible. However... I know what is wrong. I will fix that easily." Thinking about it I imagined a table and chairs appearing. It happened instantly. "Sit, tell me what is up." She took a seat and started explaining the last few days. When she was done she paused and let me digest it.

"Other than that everything is ok. When Jaina and Agria are not here, Mileena and Riku are here. Mileuda and Tietra are generally busy so they havent made it by. Proto Man had to keep Adol away. He came in yelling and screaming something fierce." Zela smiled as she told that part. "He has been fighting and training every day. Him and Tifa anyway.

"Glad you thought it was funny. Good to see you smile every now and then. It suits you." She didnt refute that as she nodded at me. "The Vorcha.. how are they?"

"Good. The surgeries were a success. It will be a while before they are fit for duty. Right now all of them are under observation." She hurriedly explained when she saw my expression. "Everything is being cataloged into the System. Vorcha human are new remember. None of them will die dont worry. It is just the recovery will be slower. Shalla is the most damaged one. Part of her brain is getting restored. And since you wouldn't want her coming back different or changed, the process is slow. No mistakes. Galtea is making sure of it."

"I see. Thanks."

"Galtea is really good at support. Her other methods for getting you stronger do not suit her. It is killing her slowly." Zelda voice became pensive. "The other you is very aware of it. Guess the side effects of you focusing on only getting our people back."

"Heh, our people. Glad you think so. Anyway, enough of that. Will these changes do anything weird to me?"

"Nope. Only thing missing is a catalyst of some kind.

"A what now?"

"A catalyst. So far all your statues have been reorganized. When the indoctrination started taking place it affect the half of you that was fighting outside. The other half was safe with me. Your digital Node was to advanced for it. Lunabella actually laughed at it. She dissected and took the entire code apart. She agreed with your wolf, not sentient at all. Just rudimentary coding at best. The reaper virus is evolving.. that is what Miranda said anyway. You would have to get with her to deal with that. I am not a scientist."

"You could be if you want?"

"No." Zelda shook her head vehemently. "I like doing this right here. Someone has to keep your emotions and your mind working decently towards super healthy. You should definitely take that leave time."

"Yeah, your right." I agreed with her. "Wait... I need to know. Who the hell is my sunshine? I know I sang parts of that song. Spill it." Her eyes went wide and she flipped her hair as she smirked. "Ughh, you dont know who it is. You are a blond but not the one I saw. Who is it then?"

"It is not Jaina and defintely not Samus. But this Agria doesn't fit with the few visions you had of the person. They came into a few pieces as if the System was blocking it off. So maybe a relative of hers. She has that cousin Agrias.. but you havent met her personally yet." Zelda smirk became more pronounced. "Whoever it is.. they are important to you."

"Well, that just made it weird. How much time has passed since we have been talking?" I realized I should probably talk with the others soon.

"A half-hour. This is your mind remember. It slows and speeds up depending on how much you are using your mana or concentrating on doing it. Since we are in your Nether Realm the time moves even slower."

"Gotcha. So come here to have a long conversation with you to help out. I take it is even faster since there is no me currently in Mass Effect?"

"Correct. I suggest you dont pull yourself out of there completely unless you are on your ship. That is a safe place and wont disrupt things. However, if you were to do it on the Citadel or on a planet... the results would cost you a butt load of points."

"I figured as much. Galtea said something along those lines once before." I got up and stretched. "Thanks Zelda. You are a good friend." Realizing my choice of words I corrected myself. "Sorry good companion."

"Heh, it is fine. I am happy to be of help, my Master." She said that and disappeared. I felt her move to another section of my mind.

"That sounded so possessive. Well, at least she is smiling more. That is at least one of my people happy. Time to check on the other me in other worlds right quick." Stretching myself out, I found each of them all relatively ok. They were all lazing about somewhere. Each in a none combat zone someplace. I felt a few new connections but they were fuzzy at best. "Galtea has been busy. I still cant link with that one me with Chari." Shaking my head I returned to real space.

Galtea was in the room now. She looked exhausted. The others looked tired as well.

"You all should go rest. I am good. Zelda filled me in for the most part. Also... Oof." I didnt get to finish as Mileena tacked me. "Hey you shouldn't do this to a patient." I smiled. She was generally concerned. Becoming more human and less what she as before. If it took me getting jacked up to do it.. so be it. Except no mind control. I would take getting blown up any day.

"I have taken a good bit of your blood work, to work on a vaccine nothing major," Miranda said seeing me frown for a bit. "Right now it can raise antibodies in a person. As well as treat small cancerous cells. The biggest results are for the people that are tied to you."

"I see. Send me the info later. Go rest. I will lock you out of every network if I have to." She was angry at that but obeyed the order. Sophia gave me a smile and left with Miranda. She was dead on her feet as well. I look to the others. "Alright, change of venue. I rather we not destroyed this room." Shifting us with my mana we were on my little porch now.

"How did you do that?" Riku asked. "I barely felt the magic."

"Eh dont know. It's like turning a page in a book." I couldn't explain it better than that. "I can only do that here. So meh. Can't teleport. Maybe shift a little."

"You will be able to in time," Galtea said with a pained smile.

"Aight. Stop with that look already. Everything is fine. Oh before I get sidetracked," I looked to Agria and Jaina. "Which one of you are my sunshine? This has been eating away at me since I woke up. It's not Riku cause she doesn't have long hair."

"Not important right now!" Galtea said grabbing my face. "Pay attention."

"It is important. I want to.." I felt her worry and decided to shut up. "What's wrong?"

"Your power is way to strong. Your body cant keep up anymore." Her eyes searched mine and I felt a part of me break off. Well, separate is a better word. It felt nice. Like really nice. Like when you take off a scab or scratch an itch good. "That is better. I didnt think I would have to start you in a few more worlds so soon."

"Huh, I felt the start of me in a few others already."

Her face looked shocked. "You shouldn't be able to do that. Unless.." She said and paused, then looked to her side. Kasumi and Alita appeared. "Did you do this?" She asked hoping it to be true.

"Duh, who else. You have been running yourself ragged. So I did it to aleeve some of your burdens. Besides I recovered a bit more strength and the places I started him in will help speed it up. Unlike your self, I need more magical growth places not mental." Alita shrugged then fused with Kasumi again.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kasumi asked.

"Can I bite you?" I asked pulling her to me. Galtea still had my face held. "I really want to bite you." I took a sniff and watched as her eyes dilated under her hoodie.

"Eh, damn you Alita this isn't funny," Kasumi said as she pushed free with her biotics. "I am gonna get you later for that Azul!" Kasumi was gone just like that.

"Well.. that was different." I felt myself half shift. My clothes had disappeared. "Why did my clothes leave?" I felt a sense of vertigo and sat down. "I feet hungry. Like really hungry all of a sudden."

"Hahaha," Riku started laughing. "You said your feet hungry. What do they have mouths now?" She walked over to me and poked my forehead. I felt her presence in my mind for a second before it disappeared."Ehh you sure its hunger," Riku said pointing at my crotch. I was hard.

"Ehh, it's always like that around you all. Usually hidden away by my clothes. Ughh these pants are to weird." Calming down, I shifted back to normal. My erection went away along with it. "Happy?" I asked her. She smiled weirdly and stepped back a little. She eyed Galtea for a bit. A bit of anger there I felt. "Why are you upset with her?" I asked feeling the biotic strands between the two.

"Dont worry about it. Lady stuff." She blinked at me and dismissed any questions I was going to ask.

"Your Pather abilities have grown again. You shouldn't be able to see the strands between your companions and your operator." Galtea said stifling a yawn. She closed a screen and focused on me. "Magic strands and biotic strands are the same so.. that power is defintely growing more."

"Alright. You do not have to push me anymore ok?" I watched as she slowly recognized the words I said. She felt relief but then apprehensive. "I need to say this now before we get off-topic to something else."

"I can keep going!" Galtea said grabbing my shoulders. That's when my Pather power thought it was a good idea to kick it to a higher tier. Feeling the connection her eyes went wide and she let me go as she fell back.

System: Pather abilties have moved beyond current level. Recalculating suppression levels..

"That is nice. But the answer is no. Switch over to what you do best. I will handle the pressure to push myself." I moved over to Galtea squatting down to look at her. "I rather not turn you into something you would hate. Besides, I am already messed up in the head anyway. You are better at supporting a User to stay healthy. I can handle the killing and all that jazz. Well with the help of the others."

She remained quiet for a while. Next thing I know, an hour had passed before she settled back to normal. She gave me a sad smile.

"You didn't fail in any way. You just received a bad hand at life. As for the others... I will try to open up about them. You will have to open up to them as well. The tension between you all is already getting high. Yes, I noticed." I gave her a look that I as not completely oblivious to everything. I just allowed what they wanted to be. I got what I wanted so why not.

"So.. will you keep them all. Even the one that you will generate next?" Galtea gave me a hard stare. As if this would decide something that I had know idea about. "I know you will have possible ones that will defintely remove as long as we do the random. But this one and a few others I must insist. on."

"Arghh yeah. I know this will not sit well with me. Everyone else does as well. But you did a good job at pointing out the benefits. We will cross that road when we get there."

"Thank you.. my User."

"Anytime. Wait the way you say that.. why does it feel so different? Sometimes you say User, it feels like your addressing a regular person. But then just now it felt.. I dont know. Emotional."

"It is a form possessiveness. Lunabella does it as well. A lot of your people do. You will figure it out sooner or later."

"Ok. Now the bad news." I knew she had been working on something big. Alita confirmed it earlier.

"Right... I want you to agree to something. Then I will erase your memory of you agreeing. This will be the last big push I have devised."

"Uh, huh. This one is worse than the current one right?" She nodded yes. I felt her biotic strands. She really wanted me to agree to this. I reached over grabbing her chin. She pulled back afraid. "It is really that bad huh?"

"Yes, you will hate me for it. I know you will. So will the others." Galtea voice became small then. She looked fragile.

"Yeah, but the big lummox will agree. So it will be his fault. Besides.. we can help him get over it. Then you can help us get over it." Riku came up to her side and gave her a half hug. "We gotta cause him lots of pain and frustration to pull his power out." Her smile was way to convincing. If I didnt know better.. she was looking forward to this. "The price of Psycho Power pain and frustration. Understanding and connecting Soul Power. As for the Laguz.. well not my business."

"No pain.. no gain my Khan." Mileena said smiling with those sharp teeth of hers. She licked the air and her mouth returned to a human one. She didnt put the veil on. "Besides if he does hate you for a bit.. we get to hog him more."

"Hmm I guess." Agria said. Her and Mileuda and Tietra just stared.

"Where the hell are all the guys?" I asked seeing this group of women enjoying the idea of tormenting me.

"Your wolf was to aggressive around them. Well not Sauron anyway." Tietra said smiling a little as she did. "They caused your blood to spike when they were nearby. Oh except Proto Man and Adon to."

"The loyalty makes them not a threat I suppose." Riku said smirking. "You are worried about the wrong things when you sleep."

We heard a whistle as a beam of light arrived. A few of the others had arrived.

"I still think it is a bad idea." Proto Man said walking forward. One by one the others walked up.

"Yeah yeah. I do to. I wonder what will happen." I shrugged my shoulders and activated the pull. "Besides.. with the arrival of the new person, it keeps me from interfering with what you two are doing." I said pointing at him and Samus. They both turned looking away from me. But I saw how they instinctively moved closer to one another.

I turned my head away from them and thought about talking to Tifa and Quists. They were both feeling down in the dumps a little. Sending them a message on my Omni-Tool, I wanted them to go spend time with the me the will stay in Mass Effect. They nodded and smiled happily. I think they were just a little bored to me honest. "Here goes nothing."

System: Love Pull.. Soul fragment added.. designation Street Fighter Alpha... Pull has agreed..

I felt my Soul Power shoot through the roof. As if the Rift opening was something it wanted to meet more than anything in this world. "Arghhh it burns.. stop.. cancel the Pull!" I yelled. My Pyscho power was dying to get out It wanted to kill what was coming. "I will kill you!" Charging my power, up I directed it towards the Rift.

"Do it now!" Galtea yelled and the others locked onto me tieing me down. All except Adon. He was smiling sadly. I guess he remembered who was coming.

System: Denied. User does not have the authority. Soul Bond Rose Sunstrider is not a threat.

A purple soul power exited first. Slight traces of psycho power as well. But they were small. Just enough to help one understand how a mind works.

"Are you ready to continue your lesson's dear husband?" Rose said in her accent. She floated over to me. The closer she got, the stronger my powers reacted.

"Fwoosh," Mileena and Riku stood in front of her. Shifting winds around their bodies.

"Stop. Dont move any closer to him." Riku said. I could feel her anger. She didn't like the way the woman caused me to react. "This was a bad idea." She said looking at the woman.

"You cause the Khan great discomfort. Back away." Mileena had a metal spike extend from her wrist.

"Oh dear, Hubby finally started to spread his wings. How good." Rose smiled at them then backed away. "I am a very peaceful woman. I will back up." Landing on the ground she deactivated her power. I felt calm once again.

"I am going to work now. I will not deal with this till later." I said before opening a Rift to Final Fantasy Tactics. My psycho power was going haywire. But my soul power was growing. At a very high rate at that.

"Bwoom," I was gone back in my body there. It took a few minutes for my body to acclimate all the power and upgrades.

"Are you ok my Lord?" Tia asked me.

"Yes, let's get going shall we." I gave her a smile and stood up. "We need to see what foolishness Dycendarg is up to."

System: Mission: Prevent the death of Barbaneth Beoulve. Reward: Completely new route in history. Failure: World fixes itself back on it's normal path.

'Galtea was not joking about a big decision was waiting for me when I returned.' I stepped away from my thoughts and opened the door to my squad.

They were recruited from various villages from the countryside. A good bit of them were created by my Nether World and arrived from the outskirts and neighboring island from where my character's backstory originated.

Tia stepped forward to my left. I saw Agria and Mileuda walk down the aisles. Tietra stood behind I guessed. Agria was dressed a little bit like her cousin would be when you meet her. Except her colors were a dark red with white highlights. My Crest was on her robes and breast piece. The robes where the only thing that would make you think she was a white mage. The maul on her side would make you guess, however.

Tietra was dressed like a knight. But with dark blue on all the clothing. Her armor pieces were made of leather. That's when I realized I made them for her. In fact I made Agria's clothing as ell. They were version of my Cerebus outfit. But no tech Instead magic is woven through everything.

"Hah,"I sighed and smiled. Then I felt their eyes on me. My wolf started stirring. The strands hit me next. They were excited to be back home and stronger than ever.

'They are ours. Our mates and no one else's.' My wolf thought to me. He then settled down when I didn't fight that idea. 'We can have this world and changed it for the better.'

'I have not had that problem since I merged my psycho power.' I thought to Zelda who laughed.

'His thoughts are you own. He speaks about your wants and desires from that piece of your soul that reconnected. The same as your psycho power does. It, however, is reasoned with by your soul power.' Zelda was enjoying this. 'I like this world better than the one called Mass Effect. To much Technology that I dont understand. But here.. magic is dominant. I never want to separate from you when you come here. Is that ok?'

'No problem. Wait do you plan on separating in other places?' I talked to her as we walked to my Uncles room.

'I dont like Warhammer. That place.. is twisted in the worst way. But I will go where you need me. And you need me there. Just please dont call me out into the open. It is at last safe within you.'

'That is fine. However, I will not allow you to always remain inside me all the time. I made a whole mountain for people to enjoy. Its infested with Rachni now.. so I will make another one.' I stopped at the door because of the guards. They were loyalist of Dycendarg.

'Of course. I would like that. However, can it be a snowy mountain? I like the view of it. Despite what happened recently.' I could feel the hope in Zelda's voice.

'Yeah, no problem. Excuse me while I kill some people.' I returned my attention back towards the guards. "Stand aside."

"We are ordered to let none pass." The guard said snidely.

"I was not really asking." I didnt move as Mileuda steeped forward. A burst of magic shot from her hand engulfing the man. He was turned to stone. She was using Geomancy.

The other guard started unsheathing his sword but didnt even get it halfway. "Bam," her maul connected with the man's chest pulverizing him in one go. "Thump," He slumped as he hit the wall dead. I was not ready for what greeted me when I opened the door. Not by a long shot.

"What are you doing here? Answer me, Rafa!"
