User blog:Spyral370/Ipamon: A Challenge from The Paragons (Part One)

Author's Note: This is the first legitimate instalment for Ipamon's storyline. There are no AoW related mentions established here, so expect to not know anyone related to the Adventures of White to be found in this text.

Plus I highly doubt anyone would be eager to read this anyway, but nonetheless...enjoy.

~Spyral370 - "Hey! Come back here, thief!" I heard a distant person cry.

I immediately turn to the direction of the voice, and I suddenly bump right into her...

"Taia!" I jumped.

"No time to explain...!" She panted.

I scratched my head, "Why is tha--"

"You! Stop right there!" The same person yells, this time closer to the both of us.

Taiapon and I swerved to face the person screaming after us. It apparently was a female shopkeeper.

"Oh boy..." Taiapon sighs.

"You!" She barked at Taiapon, inching slightly closer to the both of us, "You've committed a misdemeanour of peculation against Patapolis and her people...what say in your defence?!"

"A misdemeanour of peculation...?" I wonder as I went to face Taiapon, "...w-what did you do...?"

Taiapon coarsely groaned, "Alright...I stole food, alright?-- But because I was a little hungry!--"

"That does not mean you shall steal items from me without payment!" The shopkeeper hissed. Suddenly more Patapons were attracted to our small argument.

"Well...what 'food', did you steal...?" I furrowed my brow.

"W-w-well....uh...some Cafeteria Meat...Eyeball Cabbage and Familiar Juice..." Taiapon tried to hide her face.

"Hm...is that so?"--

"Well no matter how much you've stole, you must pay for it now." The shopkeeper snapped.

"Woah, okay just please don't bark at her like that--"

"Oh my, what's going on here...?" Another Patapon enters.

I turn to whoever that voiced belonged to...

"Priestess Meden." I greeted.

"Ipamon" she greeted back, somewhat cheerfully, "So...what happened here...?"

"This girl stole a few goods from my store!" The shopkeeper pointed at Taiapon.

Meden hesitated, "Oh my dear, maybe...you can...just, let go of this case. From e looks of it, it's just a little meat and vegetables"--

"No! I will not set my foot elsewhere until she pays the materials she has bodily taken from my shop!"--

"Here..." I extend my hand to the shopkeeper, carrying a equitable quantity of Ka-ching, "I'll pay for it."

Meden's eye dilated, "I-Ip! Are y-you sure about that?"--

"It's fine, Meden" I smile. Taiapon blushed slightly.

The shopkeeper hesitated, then she gently took e money from me, "...Thank you."

"No problem. Now, we'll just leave before anything else goes wrong. Come on, Taiapon" I softly grab Taia's hand and we depart, "Farewell, Priestess."

"Bye! May Almighty Kamipon guide you!" She waved.



The both of us enter our house, and Taiapon plops the food and drinks on the table, organizing them a bit.

"I appreciate you getting food for us, Taia, but don't steal next time, okay...?" I sigh.

"Alright...sorry" Taiapon looks down.

"Ah it's fine" I smile, wrapping one arm around her. She wraps her arm around me as well.

Suddenly, someone walks in.

"H-hey, Ipamon, Taiapon!" Hatapon says, holding his typical flag.

"Yes, Hatapon?" I ask.

"There seems to be some band of Zigotons willing to prove their skill of fighting against other forms of combat. Apparently their leaders of this group are...Makoton, Aiton and General Gong."

"Is that so...?" I cock my head.

"Y-yeah. The reason I came here to talk to you was...maybe your Virtutis Lux martial arts skill would outmatch their fighting power!" Hatapon waved his flag around.

"Woah! Hatapon, are you implying you want me to fight them...?!"

"Uh...yes...?" He sweated.

"..."

Taiapon nudged me playfully, "Come on, Ipamon! Here guys are threatening our tribe by challenge us Patapons against them! You don't want that...right...?"

I was in deep thought...

"Oh...alright then. Lead me to them, Hat."

"That's the spirit!" Hatapon jumped, and thus he led us to where these Zigotons were...

"I have an odd feeling about this..." I gulped.
