Chapter 1

Gunslinger Drifter


Blast wandered around the foreign land taking in everything. He was in the middle of a town watching people go about their days. Kids ran and brushed past him. He perked up and turned as he heard a large crash followed by a scream. He nearly froze in his tracks in terror as he saw a large boar, nearly the size of a mountain, stampeding through the town. People were trampled if they didn’t run out of the way fast enough. He huffed as he stepped off the sidewalk and into the middle of the cobblestone road. In all his travels and adventures he had never seen a boar quite this large before, so it was kinda off putting. Once the boar came closer he quickly reached into his jacket and drew a large handgun from his belt.

With a large eruption of sound, that massively overpowered that of the boar, the large swine gave a loud whine as it fell and slid across the ground. He gently lifted his foot before it came into contact with the large boar’s lower lip as it came to a stop. Dust flew everywhere and completely swallowed the small town before it slowly began to settle. Blast then opened his jacket and put the gun away before he lowered his foot to the ground. He heard the townsfolk coughing as they moved around trying to know what was going on. “Ugh…pigs,” Blast said as he nudged the dead boar’s lower lip with the upward curved toe of his boot, “I hate pigs.”

“Right there! That’s him!!!” A man’s voice said,

“Hm?” Blast looked over his shoulder only to have ropes thrown over him. He was then quickly tied up and thrown over the shoulder of a rather large man. He huffed as a man dressed in royal guard attire came into his line of sight. “Hello?”

“You there, just who are you?!” The guard inched closer to Blast as he said, “You’re certainly not dressed like you’re from this Kingdom.”

“Kingdom?” He asked as he tilted his head, “I’m not even from this world dude.”

“Not of this world?! What do you mean?!”

“It’s hard to explain,”

“Oh! So you won’t talk, huh?!”

“I never said that, I just said that it would be hard to explai-“ Blast was then cut off by a blow to his face that knocked him out. As he started to come to, he heard numerous voices. He knew he was tied up again, this time he was tied against a post, possibly in the middle of a room. He shook his head and blinked a few times to get his vision to focus. The room he was in was large, full of guards and was lit by the sun coming through the windows. His eyes fixated at the back of the room where a large throne sat in the shadows, he could tell someone was sitting in it, but he couldn’t quite make out their face.

“Your majesty, he’s awake!” A guard said to the figure sitting in the shadows.

“Now then,” another man said from just off to the left. Blast turned to him and looked at his rather strange attire. He was dressed in robes and he wore some strange fireball shaped hat on his head. Blast raised an eyebrow at how odd the outfit was. “Let the record state that the offender has awoken, and we may now proceed with questioning!”

“Good! I’d like to start first!” A rather loud man said. He had a large mustache, was muscular, and was bald but his eyes were rather deadly looking. “How the hell did you kill Ragnar the Mountain King?! We have lost many innocent people and soldiers to that behemoth and you killed him without even touching him!!!” The room then erupted into chatter before the oddly dressed man slammed a wooden cylinder on his podium to quiet everyone down.

“Order!!! Order!!!”

“Excuse me?” Blast remarked, “You gave the pig a name?” Everyone in the room audibly gasped.

“A pig?! Did you just refer to Ragnar the Mountain King to a merely pig?!” The mustached man shouted,

“It’s what it is, isn’t it?”

“Ragnar the Mountain King has killed countless upon countless lives! The population of the entire kingdom was nearly wiped out thanks to that beast, and now you come along and say that Ragnar is just a pig?! That would be an understatement! In fact, it’s not even what Ragnar was at all!! He was a downright abomination! A monster!!! A force of the devil himself!!!”

“Uh-“

“I have a question!” Another man spoke as he rose from his seat. This man had long hair tied into a French braid that draped over his right shoulder. “Just who are you?! Where did you come from?! Sources have told us that you just showed up in town today!!!”

“He claimed to not be from this world,” the guard, who made Blast’s arrest, spoke, “And he refused to elaborate further.”

“I said it’s hard to explain.”

“Then explain,” a feminine voice came. The room went dead silent and Blast lifted his head to see the figure in the shadowed throne move. “You have the floor, so please explain. What did you mean by, not of this world?”

“Who’s asking?” Blast asked as he adjusted himself so he sat on his bottom with one of his knees bent. The figure in the shadows rose before beginning to make its way down to him. He followed the loving figure with his eyes before he saw the gold toe of a woman’s boot come into the light.

“I’m asking,” the boot then stepped into the light revealing itself to be a tall, busty, stocky-curvaceous woman. She had wheatish tone brown skin, warm brown eyes, black hair (which contained small strips of brown) that was straight before turning to the curls about halfway down her neck. She had a beauty mark on the left side of her chin and her lips were adorned with dark red lipstick. Her uniform was all one piece (almost like a sleeveless tracksuit) and was a dark violet color with a dark teal color on her sides and an even darker red around her legs, the red almost looked like shorts!

She wore a golden tiara and belt, which had a fireball shape in the middle of them. Around her wrists were gold rings and from her biceps down to covering the back of her hands was a black almost nap material with white stars on the bottom of them. Her golden ankle high boots had silver heels that could almost be used as a weapon. Blast was instantly taken back. Was this it?! Was this what love looked like?? Right here in its natural, beautiful, muscular and authoritative form?!

“I’m waiting,” she said,

Blast took a minute to clear his throat before saying, “Yes, um, well…I am not from this wor-“

“You said that already, what does it mean? Explain it to me!”

“Well…I’m what’s known as a Ganttae.”

“You are a man.”

“No. Well, I mean, yes, I am, but that’s my race. My species.” He sighed as he said, “We are, or…were, a highly advanced group of organisms from a much higher plane of existence. We could be called, Watchers, or Gods, or whatever fancy term you want to use for it. Bottom line, I come from that plane of existence.”

“And that’s how you got here?”

“Well, no, first I spent time on a lower plane of existence. A four dimensional one, on a place called Earth. Which is A LOT similar to this place, minus the giant mountain sized pigs.” The room, except for the woman, erupted into a gasp, “Oh, give it u-“ Before blast could finish the woman quickly lifted her toe to right beneath his chin. The toe of her boot had a needle poke out of it and right onto his flesh.

“Make another remark like that and I’ll kill you.”

Blast’s face ran red hot before he then swallowed heavily. “I-“ he then sidetracked and said, “Ya know, you’ve got REALLY beautiful eyes, has anyone ever told you that?! They’re so round and firey and intense and-“

She then moved at an immeasurable speed to grab his throat and press his head against the post he was tied to. “This is your last warning, understand? Tell me who you are, why you’re here, and how you killed Ragnar. I don’t give a damn about what you think of my eyes.” However, in the deep dark cavern in the back of her mind, she said to herself, “OH MY GOD NOBODY HAS EVER SAID THAT TO ME!!!! WHAT ELSE DO YOU LIKE ABOUT ME?!?!?!!!”

“S-Sorry,” he choked, “Listen, you seem great, your little minions seem great, but right now I’ve got work to do. My plane of existence, it was destroyed and I chased the culprit to Earth. After that existence was destroyed he traveled here.”

She gazed intensely into his eyes for a few more seconds. “Talk about my eyes…his eyes are on a whole other level~!” She sighed as she spoke, “You’re telling the truth.” She then let go of his throat before she stood back up and looked down upon him. “What else can you tell me that’s the truth?”

“What do you want to know?”

“Your name. What do they call you?”

“Blast.” He said, “Blast Blazar the Singularity.”

“How old are you?”

“A lot older than you think.”

“How old?”

“I predate everything within a four dimensional plane of existence, but in human years, 1,995.”

“And how did you kill Ragnar?”

“Are you kidding me?”

“Answer the question, Mr. Blast.”

Blood shot out his nose as he straightened himself out and said, “I killed it with Bang!”

“Bang?”

“Mm!!!” He said as he nodded and steam shot from his ears and nose.

“What’s Bang?”

“Bang is my weapon!!!”

“What kind of weapon is it?”

“A gun!!!”

“A what?”

“Wait,” his face returned to its normal complexion as the blood from his nose then dried up, “You’ve never heard of a gun?”

“If I had, then I wouldn’t have asked.”

“Here, I’ll show you.” He wiggled himself onto his feet before squirming to the side a bit. “Here, in my jacket! Look!” She approached him and opened up his jacket to see his gun holstered to his waist. Her eyes brightened with curiosity as she reached for it. She removed it from the holster before holding it in her hands. It was heavy, REALLY heavy. The handle was made of a highly durable Bulocke wood, while the rest of it was made from Tungsten metal which was then overlaid with Graphene and Mangalloy and even bits of Carbide. It closely resembled that of a large revolving hand cannon, while the barrel of the gun was shaped like a typical medieval cannon . Not that she, or anyone in that room, knew what any of that was…

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” she said as her eyes examined every nook and cranny of it. Blast recognized the look on her face. The innocent childlike curiosity he had only ever seen on the face of one woman before. “How does it work?”

“Well, I can’t show you tied up, now can I?”

“Untie him,” she said as she turned and didn’t take her eyes off the weapon.

“B-BUT YOUR MAJESTY-!!!” The Royal guard shouted,

“Do it, Captain Axolotl.”

He swallowed before he sighed and made his way down the floor. Blast gave a mischievous chuckle while the Captain made his way down the floor and untied him. Blast then sighed in release as he raised his arms. “Wow! What sweet relief!” The captain huffed as he turned and walked off, being unaware of Blast’s taunting.

“Now then, show me how you use this.” The woman said as she pointed the gun at him. Blast cocked an eyebrow as he said,

“Well, for starters, you’re holding it wrong. In fact you’re holding it backwards.”

“You dumbass!” She cursed at herself,

“Do you have a shooting range?” Blast asked as he grabbed onto his gun, “If I fire it in here the-“ He then froze as he tugged on his gun and it didn’t move. “Hm?” He tugged on it a few more times. It wouldn’t budge. She was unwilling to let go. “Hey, you gotta-“

“He probably thinks I’m disgusting! My father was right! How will I ever get a man if I can’t hold a weapon properly! I’m scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scu-“

Blast tried to pry it from her hands as many ways as possible. He placed his feet on her sides and tried pulling away from her. Nothing.

“-scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Sc-“

He held onto the weapon and tucked it under his arm and tried running away from her. He only ended up running in place though. Failure.

“-um! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! S-“

He then stood on her outstretched arm and tried to knock it from her hand by stomping on it. Nope. He hung from her arm upside down like a lemur and tried to remove it from her hand by biting down on it. Try again, Blast. He eventually gave up and said, “Hey, lady-!” He placed his hand on her exposed shoulder and she then felt a sudden rush of bliss. She turned and looked at him only to experience more bliss. Her bliss was so extreme that it passed itself onto him! Their bliss was short lived as she felt weak and dropped the gun onto Blast’s foot! He gave a full yelp as he then bent down and grabbed onto his foot.

“I apologize!” She said as she knelt down,

“No, no! You’re fine!” Blast said as he then picked up his gun and put it back in its holster. It’s not the first time it’s fallen on my foot!” Yes it was.

“Sorry, what did you ask for?”

“Oh, a, uh, range! Like a shooting range! An archery range?”

“Yes, an archery range.” She stood up and said, “We’re moving this to the archery range!” She then turned and left the room. The moment she left she ran down the halls to the archery range as fast as she could, all while covering her blushing face. Blast was then arrested, yet again, and taken to the archery range. He was untied as the woman cleared her throat and said. “Now then, show me how this weapon is used.”

“Yeah, sure.” Blast said as he unholstered his gun. He lifted it with his right arm and pointed it down the range at the target. He pulled back the hammer with his thumb before he squeezed the trigger. As he did, the shockwave from the gun caused the air to shift in the area around them, to the point where the wooden structure nearly fell apart. The large eruption of sound made the woman’s heart race and caused her ears to ring. All she could hear was her breathing as she saw the target that laid ahead of them seemed to cease to exist. This feeling…it was exhilarating! “That’s all there is to it.” He said as he spun the gun around his finger and across his body before he slid it into the holster. He placed his hand on his hip as he turned to her and asked, “What else did you want to know?”

“Um…” she cleared her throat before asking, “What did you say your title was?”

“The Singularity.”

“Yes, singularity, um…what is that?”

“Basically, it’s a point in which gravity is so intense that spacetime itself becomes ill defined. Though I’ve been referred to as an Initial Singularity which is a singularity of infinite density before quantum fluctuations caused the Big Bang and subsequent inflation that created every and all planes of existence. Though lots of people refer to it as the Universe.”

“I see…” She replied, “Anyways, thank you for your honesty, and the demonstration. As long as you don’t plan to use your weapon against us, then I don’t see you as an enemy. Until then, I hope you find this person you’re looking for.” She then turned and went to walk off when he then reached out and grabbed her hand.

“Wait! Just one thing! Can I ask you something?”

“Go ahead.”

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Pitaya.” She turned and looked him in the eyes before she gave a soft smile and said, “Princess Pitaya of the Starfruit Kingdom.”

“Well, it’s uh…” He cleared his throat as he switched the position of his hand to be reminiscent of that of a handshake. He shook her hand as he gave a cheeky toothy green and said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Princess!”

“You too!” She then paused as she looked to his right eyebrow, “What’re these?” She asked as she pointed to two metal duds on his brow.

“Hm? Oh, those are eyebrow piercings.”

“Men get piercings in your world?”

“They do on Earth, which is where I got mine. However,” he tucked his hair back (in a way that was rather seductive) behind his ears as he said, “These blue ones, I was born with.”

“Wow,” Pitaya said as she looked at them, “What’re they made of?”

“I don’t know,” he said as he placed his hair back to its normal position.

“Okay, and what’re these?” She asked as she removed the purple tinted glasses from the edge of his nose.

“They’re glasses.”

“Yes, but why are they this color?”

“It’s amethyst. They were enhanced in a lab and infused with microscopic and super condensed robotics to give them laser guidance.”

“Do they help you see?”

“Kinda,” he said, “I mean I can see fine as is.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay,” she handed him his glasses back and he put them back on his face. “Well, that’s all for today. It’s getting late, Captain Axolotl will escort you to the guest room.”

“B-But your majesty!!!”

“He’s our guest for tonight, Captain. Escort him to the guest room, that’s an order.”

“Y-Yes, your majesty.” He then came to Blast’s side,

“Welp, this was fun Princess. Let's go, Oxtail.”

“I-It’s Axolotl!!!”

“That's what I said,”

“W-Well, right this way!” The Captain then turned and walked off with Blast trailing shortly behind him.

“By the way, Mr. Blast?” Pitaya said over her should,

“Hm?! What’s up?” He asked as he looked over his shoulder,

“I like your jacket,” she said with a smile. It was a Blue-Green color. She didn’t know why, but she absolutely loved it.

“Thanks! See ya!”

“Bye.”

A wrinkly old man came to Princess Pitaya’s side and asked. “Your majesty, with all due respect, why are we keeping such a dangerous delinquent like him in our palace walls? Surely there’s a place for him to stay! You know, on the outskirts of town?”

“He’s very powerful, that could be of use to us to fight against King Kappa. Other than that, he’s…very interesting.”

He sighed as he said, “If you say so, Princess.”

A//N

Heya!!! Here we are!!! Some cool things about Blast! His gun is a heavily modified fusion weapon. It’s a fusion between the .600 Nitro Express Hand Canon, Taurus Raging 500 Magnum, Hunter Smith & Wesson Model 460, and the .44 Taurus Raging Bull Hand Cannon! If this gun were real it would require two hands, and quite possibly a stand to shoot, yet Blast just casually shoots it with one arm! As for other things…I wanted him to be as attractive and have as much sex appeal as Shanks from One Piece and Flynn Rider from Tangled lol He’s 6’6” and his birthday is January 7th! And even though he’s not human, for his ethnic background he would be Half American and Half Ainu!

As for Princess Pitaya, although she’s not from our world, her ethnicity would be Half Puerto Rican and Half Muisca/Chibchan! I chose the name Princess Pitaya because when making her, I thought of her as a Princess like Princess Peach. So I looked for fruit that were native to both Puerto Rico and Colombia and the common fruit found in both countries was the Pitaya/Dragon Fruit! I was half tempted to name her Princess Starfruit lol so instead I named the Kingdom, Starfruit Kingdom in exchange (which is weird considering her name is Pitaya….) She’s 6’2” and her birthday is January 5th!
