Azul found himself in the white room again. Him and the Trickster were having a little chat. Mostly about what happened and the plan for the future.
"Look Azul, this was not supposed to happen. As in seriously not suppose to happen." The Trickster said a little apologetic. "I know you dont want to keep this hush-hush, but you have to."
"No. They may keep shit from me. But I am not doing that to them. I have enough flaws to deal with, that they deal with. So no." Azul said not changing his stance. "Listen I do not know what all of you are planning, but try to leave me out of it. I met that shit show of Users. Only some were ok. Let them go ahead and get wrecked by Indigo and his shit. Maybe enough of them can choke the life out of him."
"Haaa fine then." The Trickster was disappointed on the surface. But internally he was happy. "We need to talk about Ceripco. The power he left you is extraordinary. To bad you cant use it at your current level. Do your self a favor, boost your Willpower. It will help in the long term." He released a biotic strand directly to Azul. Emphasizing Willpower was needed more than he let on. But for different reasons. As for his Operator, he will help you in the far reach zones. Not in the places of normal Rift World's."
"Very well. Hey wait. Give me my blasted levels and rewards already!" Azul realized it has been a while since he received any of them. "Hope the admins didnt jip me on my rewards this time."
"Hah. Not this time no. We are cracking down on that." The Trickster shrugged at him. "A few are mad you didnt go straight to deal with the current state of affairs. As well as not doing that mission on Feros."
"That mission was toxic. Everything in my very core said hell to no. So... hell to the no, If other idiot Users want to go deal with it, let them. In fact, I might even buy a mercenary group to report on anything that happens in that area. The bombs are still there. If I dont like what I am hearing.. I will blow the planet and kill everyone in the area. Whether innocent are not."
"Oh, still have a little ruthlessness in you? That is good. Tell me exactly what you believe to be inside the planet?"
"A Reaper most likely. Or something another user placed in there that keeps returning. A changed pillar trapped away, or someone hiding out doing some psycho level shit." Azul threw his hands in the air frustrated. I didnt feel it las time because my power was to weak. Good thing I blew the place last time."
"Hmm close. If it could give you am major power boost would you take it?"
"Hell no. I do not have the forces to keep said power. I would put my people in danger for no reason but my own stupidness. I rather just blow it up. But I dont have the control right now. I could always acquire the signal again to make sure I could. Or ask a few Krogans to bombard the place." Azul rubbed his chin as he spoke.
"As the User with the most authority.." The Trickster said getting Azul's full attention. "..you can take over and rob the power. What would you do with it though?" A smile formed on his face.
"Put it in the World itself. The barrier that kept the place stable last time kinda went down hard from what I remember.. Stronger barrier, less chance of it turning to crap. I do not want my adoptive HomeWorld turning to shit again."
"So you want to control then?" Azul nodded to the man. "Good, when you return it will be so. As for that quest itself. THe power would lead them elsewhere when it is over. You are now the owner of Mass Effect. I will pass it over to your new Operator. This way know one knows who owns it. He also needs something to do while waiting for you to engage him in the future."
"Haaa fine." Azul exhaled and shook away the doubt. "That is fine. In fact, I will send my new mind that opened up that way. Talk with and get to know him. From what I felt he could use a friend." The Trickster nodded and waved. Azul opened his eyes to see a System message as well as Quistis.
System: All magics have leveled up retroactively... Cantrips: Lv4 Adrenaline Rush, Lv6 Biotic Shielding, Lv4 Biotic Charge, Lv6 Misty/Flame Fist, Lv3 Concussive Shot, Lv5 Mental Cleansing, Lv3 Mettle
Spells: Lv5 Rune Magic
System: Level x5 additional stat points awarded. Items deposited in inventory.
"Hey there and welcome," Quistis said smiling. Forget about whatever was happening before. Just focus me and you right now. OK, Husband?"
"So we are married.? Like married, married?" Azul asked her for confirmation. "I miss the wedding? What a gyp. Wait I miss the honeymoon!"
"Yes," Quistis answered sitting up. She didnt even use her hands to cover her plump breasts. "You are here now.. so you divorce me if you want." She turned her head away and gripped the blanket. 'Shock and awe approach. Hope it works. Ugh, I feel self-consciousness now that it is actually him and not just a part of his soul.'
Azul was quiet for a moment. Not to actually think about that. He was absorbing the memories and everything else this him went through with her. It was nice. He put everything else out of his mind for now. Trying to get a grip on himself and the changes in Final Fantasy VIII.
Quistis had done everything she could to make him happy and herself. She trained hard and became a top member of Seed at an early age. She denied all promotions that would take her away from the area. When the other Azul moved up the ranks, she didnt argue and gave her support. If he wanted to move they would. Supringlsy he said no. Just to keep her safe here and teaching students.
The good news the other him didnt do anything that would cause them to separate. Enough skill to get attention. But never enough to make him stand in the limelight. People were very confused on about their relationship. Childhood friends and teenage sweethearts. That was the setup. It all changed a month before the plot would start. Azul from here proposed and they were married by Cid. It was a small wedding but a happy one. Then on the wedding night, she gave him a surprise.
She pulled an Agria and shared what she spent her points on. Just different lifetimes with the two of them. Three different lifetimes, in three different places. The other Azul soul grew exponentially but never awakened. Just became more Azul without this information of the System and Operators. No info of the others either. He chalked it all up to magic and the like. He had her and that was more than enough. Especially since he became content with playing lazy as he watched everything. Making sure know one screwed with her. He did a good job training his students.
"Say something," Quistis said scared that he wouldn't approve. Azul wanted them happy but also wanted them to be strong. Quistis had done both. Just not as harsh as the others did. But she did do one thing better than the others. Teach. The Nether World library was full of books and memos by her. She loved being a teacher. "Dammit, I.."
"Easy there. Just taking everything in." Azul said hugging her. "I am not divorcing you unless you do something I hate really. You have nothing to worry about. You have done so much for me. Thank you. I really needed this."
"You better not be lying," Quistis said hugging back. "I have a whip!"
"You can bring your whip to the bed. I will just use it on you." Azul gave her a smile. "Oh let me share this back with you." Three hours later he finished sharing the emotions the other him felt. "Not so bad right?" He went slow and focused heavily on the points the soul piece loved about her.
"Ohh nope not at all," Quistis said eyes glazed over. "Glad it worked out, really glad." Her eyes went wide when she saw her quest completion. "Eh.. you generally love me back. Thank you." Tears rolled down her face as she held him tighter. "It worked. It really worked!"
"Oof," Azul grunted as she tackled him back onto the bed. "I am totally up for this part of being married."
"You got it. I will do the work this time." Quistis said as she threw the blanket away revealing the rest of her body. "Your tongue needs a bit of a break." Azul only had a few seconds to take her all in when there was a person ringing the room comm.
"Beep," the intercom came on. "Mr. and Mrs. Lunastrider you have work to do."
"Crap.. ugh." Quistis said hoping up. "We will have to continue this talk later."
"Beep," the intercom came on again. "Mrs. Lunastrider there is a message for you to go to the infirmary. Apparently your student was hurt from your class."
Getting up, Quistis walked over. Her walk was full of confidence. She knew he was watching her every movement. It excited her. A strange power flowed into her because of it.
"Beep," Quistis pressed it back. "I will be right there." Before she could turn around, Azul pressed against her. Kissing her neck she turned around only partially. "Bad husband I have to go.. ah.." She moaned as his finger found her entrance. "Really bad."
"Only bad if I stop." Azul kisses her neck then moved to down her spine. Quistis loved to be touched there the most. "We should have time... especially for the fun stuff."
"Beep," the intercom cam back on. "Ummm please hurry." The voice said before leaving.
"Heh, you sound like a perv," Quistis said removing her finger from the intercom. "That poor girl will not be able to look at you the same."
"Now why would you do that?"
"I like seeing them all hot and bothered for you and stealing glances. They think I care." Quistis said smiling. "I do though, it makes me so wet knowing they won't have you. I have had you all to myself spending my points. Living all over again here since we were kids. As well as now, well until today that is."
"Hate to disappoint you but.." Azul trailed off. Seeing her frown he went ahead and told her. "I will be the only one coming. No others. This has been marked as a vacation for me. Sorry to say it but your my vacation companion."
"So.. no one else?" Quistis asked skeptic. Azul shook no. "None of the other women?" He shook no again. "I get to continue to have you to myself till this is over?" He shook no again. "What is it?"
"You are right and wrong. For the most part, you will be one of the companions I come to when I vacation. Some of the others may not really agree .. but they can fuck off. My life really. I will start dictating more about what happens with us all. More asshole approach works best. You like it when it is less so yeah.."
"Who else is there?" Quistis asked intrigued.
"This is for the future when I get back. But then again she doesnt travel.
"Mileuda, Tietra dont care at all. But I think I can figure something out with them when I get back. If I have to.. I will start breaking bonds. No point in having them if all we do is fight each other."
"Hmm makes sense."
"Shalla, Alita only care if it makes the hoard stronger and not weaker. They will do what I suggest in this regard. I am thinking of keeping Shalla strictly in Mass Effect. Colony a planet of our own.
"Selveria will do whatever I want. She is happy as long as I am happy. That and that all of you are reasonably happy. I checked on her a little while she was recuperating and sent the message.
"Hmm, thought there would be more women by now," Quistis said putting on her clothes. "Have you stopped looking for more?
"Nope. You all are the ones I care about in that way. The others are just close to me is all." Rubbing his chin he stared at her not missing a single movement. "Didnt think I needed more."
"You should get more women. That and more companions as well. Wait wasn't Tifa or Jaina mentioned?" Quistis stopped and stared at him.
"Tifa... is well I don't really know actually. We talk but she is distant in that aspect so I leave it alone. Sealed off feelings for her. I think she will be another Kasumi. Another really close friend. Which I defintely need actually. As for Jaina.. I think she has someone else so that is good. We are getting to a more amicable setup. At least I think so anyway."
"That cant be right. Want me to talk to them?" Quistis finished dressing walked in front of Azul. "Why arent you dressed? Stop staring at me like that." A mock put on her face. She moved him to a chair and looked him over.
"Hmph, you are my wife. I stare till my eyes bleed." Azul gave her a smirk. Standing up he created water and washed his skin then fire to dry himself off. Removing a set of clothes from his inventory he was dressed. "Happy?"
"Yes." Quistis pulled him in for a kiss. Her tongue dancing with his as she grabbed his cock through his pants. "Just how I need you, hard and wanting. Think about me while you deal with your students. The female ones anyway." The door opened and she left.
"Hmm, this is very enjoyable." Right as Azul took a step he received a message.
System: Quistis Lunastrider has formed an Eternal bond. Would you like to have the reward or send it to her?
'Give to her if it helps her survive. If not give it to me.'
System: Upgrading Companion... all stats increased by 5. Magic capacity has doubled. Companion ability has awakened. Teaching Savant.
'Well that looks promising. Wonder what it does?'
System: Teaching Savant- The more the teacher engages with the student the better the student learns.
'Neat. Perfect for her. Time to spend these points and go visit my students." Azul took a step forward then remember he needed to brush his teeth. "I wonder if Quists did before she left?" As soon as he said that, the door opened to reveal a very red-faced Quistis. She ran past into the bathroom. Brushing her teeth in record time. "Guess she didnt."
"Clank," she dropped the brush in the sink and ran back. "Thump," she bumped into Azul who got in her way.
"Slow down. Stop already. Did I give you a wedding present that was ok?" She gave him a shrug. "Alright how about your World for yourself?"
"I.. are you serious?"
"Yes. I know you will be here mostly. So best to make sure your safe. And your world keeps flourishing. Although I may have some enemies that are User in the future. We can talk about it later."
"No do it. I already know about the other Users. You have been out for a while actually. Well here time is also a little faster. I have been preparing for that eventually. I have resources tucked away. Not a lot but some for this place to be adequately defended."
"I will get you people. A force to train and protect the place while the me here with you go and the story of this place." Azul gave her a smile. "Sorry hun, you might be stuck with me for a while. As I work through things. But all my focus will be on what to do here while we are together. I will try not to bother you about the other things."
"Wife so.. I will talk to you about some. But that is for later. Just us for the first few weeks."
"Deal." Quists try to run away before Azul twirled in the air and gave her a deeper kiss. "Ok, you can go now." Slightly dazed she left out the door. A few female teachers just stared before the door closed. "Ah, she really likes people getting jealous." Shaking his head he moved to the bathroom. 'Ah, my stats!'
