Hey guys, it's AIYF. After so long, I'm deciding to write again! Except, it's not for my main stories. . . I know, you all are anticipating "Soldier II Victory" and the Hiatus'd "Victory Dimension". But, I have had terrible writer's block. Then this idea popped into my mind during my block (Also playing Fire Emblem: Heroes), I had to get it out there. Hopefully, you all like the concept! Let's get started!

Chapter 1: A Strange Finding

"Hey everyone, this is Famitsu of Famitsu News!" Famitsu exclaim holding a small camera away from her with the red light blinking, giving it a big smile "I am here today at this long abandoned warehous, where it has been said that strange activities have been reported. With nothing but the wind to guide me, I shall find this info for all you viewers out there! This is Famitsu, signing off!" She clicked a button on the side of the camera, the red light fading out while she placed it in her inventory. She looks towards the warehouse, with a look of confidence "Alright, let's see what all this talk is about!" Famitsu walks towards the steel door in the front and opened it with a pretty loud squeak.

She pokes her head inside to check the surroundings within the area of the entrance. Surprisingly, no monsters. "Strange, normally places like these abandoned warehouses are crawling with monsters of all shapes and sizes" She thinks to herself. She decided to move from her position at the door and walk in further, taking in more of her surroundings.

"Wow, there are no traces of monsters here at all! Maybe. . . This is the thing people are talking about!" Famitsu exclaimed matter-of-factually, pounding a fist into her other hand "A warehouse with strange activities, turns out to house no monsters! With this air of quiet and unsure thinking, many people would be scare or uncertain about the activities that surround this very place!" She began to shake from excitement from my finding "But, I can't get too excited yet. There has to be more to find here" Famitsu decided with this, to move further into the warehouse to gather more info for her scoop.

Not too far from her position laid a pile of junk and rubble. It looked like a regular pile of scrap metal, beams, and pipes. Until it started to shake and move, the clutter moving away to show a glowing red eye.

Back with Famitsu, she is seen looking around every nook and cranny she came across for leads. Why is this warehouse empty? Why are there no traces of monsters in this place at all? These questions plagued her mind as she continued to look further. As she was coming upon what looked like a dead end, she noticed a small hole in the wall.

"Hmm, this is the one thing that seems different than all the stuff I came across" Famitsu says, examining the hole. It seemed big enough to stick her arm in "Well there's only one thing to do" She begins to reach inside "Who knows, maybe I'll find out why this place is monster-free. . . Huh?" She felt a hard object brush against her finger tips. She reaches further inside to try and see what this object was. Once she felt her hand grasp it, she pulls it out to see a weirdly shaped crystal.

Famitsu looks at the crystal within her gloved grasp with confusion and interest. The crystal was in the shape of a chevron with a rocker on the bottom colored tan "Wow, this thing looks like a Sharicite of sorts" She comments until she felt the ground shake a bit "Huh? What was that?" She asked herself, feeling another short quake followed by another till she felt something watching her. When she was turning around slowly, she saw a giant shadow with a glowing red eye looming over her with its arm raised.

"What the. . . Aaaaah!?" Famitsu jumps out of the way as the shadow brought its arm down where she once was. The thing seemed slow, giving Famitsu time to analyze her attacker. Her eyes widen as she finished "A Golem? What's a Golem doing here!?" She asked aloud until something came to her mind "Wait. . . A Risky-Class foe within a place where no traces of monsters are seen. . ." The Golem gets it's arm out of the ground and slowly looks at her "Maybe. . . This Golem sees this place as its lair, and has killed any trespassing entities upon its home!" Famitsu gasps "That's it~! I've come up with a new scoop!" She brings out her Giant Lobster and gets into a fighting pose.

The Golem takes a swing at her, its slow attack giving her time to jump over its arm and run up to it, smashing it in the side. The Golem teetered a bit from the attack, but recovered quickly. Its entire upper body rotates around to where it had Famitsu in its sights again, sending another punch at her that was dodged.

Famitsu lands a series of bashes on the Boss monster's arm before falling back when it retracted its arm "This Golem seems slower, but also bigger than most of its kind" Another punch was sent at her that she once more dodged, sending a bash into the arm before the Golem retracted it. The Boss then lets out a billowing roar, shaking the entire facility "That doesn't sound good. . ." Famitsu comments before it sent another punch at her, faster this time. She dodged it in time before going to attack. Just when she was about to attack, the Golem quickly retracts its arm quickly before swinging wildly with both arms.

She jumps back and starts to dodge the onslaught coming from the angry "Well, this took a turn for the worse. . ." She sees a punch and narrowly dodges the attack before she felt something coming upon her quickly. She had no time to react as the Golem sent an unexpected kick at her, sending her into a roll which disarmed her. As she stopped, she heard the clink of the crystal she found jump across the ground.

"Ow. . . That was unexpected. . ." She grumbles as she gets herself up to her knees, looking at a HUD "That thing took out over half my HP. . .?" Her thoughts were interrupted by a hard stomp. She looks up to see the Golem looming over her again, an arm raised ready for a punch. Her eyes widen as she sees her weapon a bit away from her, she could tell that she wouldn't have enough time to grab it as the Golem sent its arm forward, ready to finish her. Famitsu covers her head, awaiting the attack as she called out on reflex "HELP!"

A bright flash of light was heard followed by the sound impacting a weapon. Famitsu opens her eyes and looks up at the Golem to see something, or more like someone new, blocking the attack "Wh-What the. . ." She was in utter shock at this. The person in front of her looked like a young male wearing what appeared to be a military uniform, the weapon this person was using to hold back the Golem's attack looked like a rifle normal footman would use. The last thing that grabbed her attention was the little blob of metallic silver on the being's shoulder.

The young man looks back to her, struggling with the Golem's arm "H-Hey. . . Are you okay?" Her widen again before answering with a nod "Good. . . Well if you have any recovery items, now would be a good time to use them!" He says, pushing back the Golem's arm with a loud grunt before firing rounds from his rifle into it.

Famitsu scrambles to her feet before running towards her weapon and grabbing it. As she was running back to the young man who was currently trying to keep the Boss's attention on him, she scans the ground for the crystal she found only to find out that it was missing "Huh. . .? Where did it go?" She asked before she heard another roar. She turns to see the man, sliding back with his weapon in front of him.

He looks over to her as she runs up to him "Are you alright now?"

"Y-Yes, I am. . ." Famitsu answers. Upon looking at him, she notices the familiar shape of a chevron with a rocker on his cap "Hey, may I ask you something?"

"Umm, sure. But make it quick" He tells her, keeping his eyes on the now dazed Golem.

"Who are you, and how did you get here?" She asks him without a second though.

"Me? Well. . ." The young man pauses for a bit "My name is PFC Garland, a Soldier from another world. And this is my companion, Meta the Metal Dogoo Pup" The Dogoo on his shoulder yips "How I got here though, I couldn't tell you" He answers, turning his head to her slightly "All I know is, I heard a cry for help and bam I was here the next moment, blocking that thing's attack"

"Wait. . . So. . ." Famitsu takes a bit to piece this all together "I found this weirdly shaped crystal that looks like the very thing on your hat within a hole in the wall before getting attacked by the Golem. I called out for help and you're now here while the crystal I found is missing. . ."

"Umm, sorry to interrupt you. . . Err. . ." Garland speaks up.

"O-Oh, my name is Famitsu! I'm a journalist!" She introduces herself with a smile.

"Well Famitsu, I don't mean to interrupt your thinking. But. . ." They both look forward to see the Golem stomping towards them "We have more pressing matters to attend to" Meta answers with a bark.

"R-Right!" Famitsu says, getting in a fighting stance before looking off to the side a bit "A crystal. . . Someone answering my cry for help. . . The crystal missing now. . . Did I just summon someone!? Like in one of those prime-time animes!?" She shakes her head a bit before looking at the oncoming Golem "Alright, let's do this!"
