Add A Little Lightning

Chapter 9 - 9 – World Quest

Inside a giant auditorium, 4 girls were currently waiting around talking about how their day has gone so far as their orientation hasn't begun yet. The youngest of the four was a pink-haired girl with a stoic face the definition of a cold beauty she is being clung onto by an older pink-haired girl.

Serah: You'll never leave me again!

Lightning: It was you who left me to talk to your friends

Serah: No excuses for cheating!

Lightning: You make no sense, you know that? Haven't you been clinging on to me a lot recently?

Serah: Of course I would, I'm your older sister!

Lightning can only resign herself to her fate. She knew perfectly you can't reason with crazy.

Yang: So, how's your first day been going then?

Ruby: It's been going fine, me and Light were just strolling around together

Serah: SO YOU DID CHEAT!

Everyone decided to just ignore Serah and continue their conversation

Lightning: We did meet that one girl.

Yang: Oh, what was she like?

Lightning: Beautiful but arrogant

Weiss: YOU!

Lightning: Oh, speak of the devil

Weiss: Who are you calling arrogant? You could have blown us off the side of the cliff.

Lightning: I forgot she's also a drama queen.

Weiss: YOU….

Yang: Look, uh it sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends?

Ruby: Great Idea! Hello Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!

Weiss: (seemingly enthusiastic) Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like tall, blond, and scraggly over there!

???: Hm?

Lightning/Ruby: That sounds horrible/ The first two sound nice!

Weiss: (Glares) I was being facetious

Ozpin and Glynda walk on to stage grabbing everyone's attention

Ozpin: I'll… Keep this-

While Ozpin began his speech he had already lost the attention of a certain pink-haired girl who was now speaking to her system

Lightning: 'So what exactly are you?'

{I'm a system created by a goddess exclusively for "lesser beings"}

Lightning: 'So what is she the goddess of? Games?'

{Games?}

Lightning: 'I mean you are the Gamer ability, right?'

{I think you've misunderstood something}

Lightning: 'Then what are you?'

{I'm a system created by the Goddess of Creation, Beauty and Time to allow you to travel the multiverse. The gamer is just an additional feature under my control}

Lightning: 'Under your control? So you could take away my powers if you wanted to?'

{No. Not a single person can take away your powers, not even the goddess who made me. As of right now, I'm essentially an interface to keep track of your abilities}

Lightning: 'Your responses seem very lifelike. So back to my original question. What exactly are you?'

{I'm your system of course}

Lightning: '(Sigh) guess I'll address the elephant in the room if you won't answer… travel the multiverse? What does that mean?'

{To put it simply, this world you are currently. In the grand scheme of things is like a grain of sand in a never-ending desert. You have the ability to travel to all the different worlds in creation}

Lightning: 'Sorry, this is a little overwhelming… Why do I have this power'

{You already paid the price so let's say equal exchange}

Lightning: 'I don't understand…'

{You don't need to}

Lightning: 'Why would I go to other worlds?'

{You're an immortal all you have is time and why would you limit yourself to just here?}

Lightning: 'I kinda understand but What am I meant to do in these worlds?'

{Hahaha… Whatever you d.e.s.i.r.e}

Lightning: 'What's so funny'

{Nostalgia, I guess. I will also give you "World Quest" depending on the world you go to}

Lightning: 'World Quest?'

{Consider them optional objectives which will impact the fate of the world}

Lightning: 'Can I have an example'
