−
Lens of Millennium City.
+
"A new Auxiliary Shadow?" I asked.
  
−
A superheroine who was adored by the people, both civilians and champions alike. Lena Soni was a Hero through and through.
+
"Yep," Jun responded, caressing a mass of holographic data in his hand, which lit up the room with a cyan glow.
  
−
A smile that beamed with warmth.
 
  
−
A heart so pure that one would never imagine that her powers were ever Ebon based.
+
Great.
  
−
All of that was irrelevant.
+
Another Auxiliary Shadow. Not like I needed another one.
  
−
It wasn't the powers that made up the person, but how that person used them, and this saying showed itself profoundly when it came to Lena.
+
I already had a Philly boy who would rather try and flirt with women than do missions, and a literal donut addict of a Hero who would get mad whenever I complimented her hair.
  
  
 +
"Listen, Master Jun. I'm thankful for the things you've done for me, but I really, really, really don't need another Auxiliary Shadow. I work fine on my own. There isn't a single god I cannot defeat now with the weapons we've created together. So if anything, I could use another gun or something," I reasoned.
  
−
SLICE.
 
  
−
KABOOM.
+
"Oh. Is that so? I guess I'll assign her to Outer Shadow Rollo then-"
  
−
''You... monster...''
+
"Wait wait wait. Did you just say ''her''? Her? Like a girl, her?" I cut Jun off, my chest beating like crazy.
  
−
A brute breathed its last, as it crumpled in on itself, succumbing to the thousands of stab wounds inflicted on it.
+
"Yeah. ''And'' she's pretty tall too, just saying."
  
−
The figure of an extremely athletic woman flew into the air, her blonde hair fluttering with her fierce movements.
 
  
 +
I got off my knee and approached my Inner Shadow.
  
−
''We shall defend the Qliphoth. She is but one woman. We are many.''
 
  
 +
"Boy, you're pulling some dangerous strings here. What kind of girl are we talking about? I... I take back what I said earlier! We've got plenty of room at the Hope estate!" I stuttered like an idiot.
  
−
Outer Shadow Vicki Harriet spun in the air, two legendary blades in each hand.
 
  
−
'''Excalibur''' in her right.
+
Jun smiled.
  
 +
"Come on out, '''Infiltration Unit TX7F'''."
  
−
SHOOM.
 
  
−
Carlton and I took a step back, barely evading Vicki as she blasted forward, decapitating another brute, then turned to the horde of demons, raising her left hand.
 
  
−
In it was the legendary sword '''Durandal'''.
+
Infiltration... Unit?
  
 +
The sound of high heels clicked in the background, as a curvaceous figure emerged from the darkness.
  
−
The demons backed away, retreating to the vicinity of a shadow priest, whose face was plastered with disbelief.
 
  
 +
I realized my mouth was hanging open. Suspense filled the air.
  
−
''How does she have not one, but two legendary swords? This... this strength... it isn't... it doesn't make sense.''
 
  
 +
No way.
  
 +
Master Jun... you god... damn genius!
  
−
You're right.
 
  
−
It made no sense at all.
+
A pair of cyan eyes flashed in the dark, as TX7F approached us. She had a black skin-tight leather suit, and an incredible figure.
  
−
The concept of having a mere Champion in the Champions Universe boasting a base strength that surpasses even the Cosmic threats of this realm made no sense whatsoever. Pair that with the ability to amplify her already absurd power to cataclysmic levels through the essence of heaven, wielding the legendary weapons and gear of history's greatest heroes who were given salvation in the afterlife, their old powers stored in an armory for her to access at its fullest. And to top it all off, access the sinister forces of hell.
+
Her black hair was combed neatly across the front through a set of bangs.
  
−
Nothing about Vicki Harriet made sense at all if you believed she was merely just a hero of UNITY.
+
Sure she wasn't blonde, but... damn.
  
  
−
The true Vicki Harriet was that of an S Ranked Outer Shadow, '''The Onyx''', said to be one of Loyce Hal's most reliable Outer Shadows.
+
"M- Master Jun... aren't you gonna introduce us?" I squeaked, my voice an octave higher than usual.
  
−
A reincarnation of the UNITY hero Lens, sure, but nothing like the sweet, kind heroine that was adored by the people of this reality.
+
"Sure. This is Auxiliary Shadow '''Sigurd'''. This will be her codename. Notice how her codename is Norse themed? Just like the Outer Shadows. It's because she's special. I've designed her to be the perfect woma- er I mean Infiltrator. And she will be your closest Auxiliary."
  
  
−
This version of Lens was a female lioness.
+
I fell to my knees and knelt before Jun, slamming my forehead against the floor.
  
−
A beast who would tear apart her prey at any time, or get whatever she needed from her targets at whatever the cost.
 
  
 +
"ALL PRAISE MASTER JUN! HAIL!"
  
 +
''ALL PRAISE MASTER JUN GASKET!'' The Shadows whispered in unison.
  
−
Vicki stomped on the ground, her eyes ferociously glued on the priest.
 
  
 +
The walk back to the Barracks were the most nerve-wracking moments of my life.
  
−
"I came for information. That was the plan. For your sake, I hope you have the information I need. Blessed are you to be a priest, and not these mindless Qlipothic spawn."
 
  
 +
And I spent four years fighting deities with nothing but stolen firearms and scraps in the street.
  
−
The priest clenched his teeth, removing his hood.
 
  
 +
"So... uh... Sig- TX- um... what do I call you?" I asked, nervously, turning to my new Auxiliary.
  
−
"Very well. I will provide you with information on the Kings of Edmon. In exchange, I ask that you put your weapons away."
 
  
 +
The android gave me a gorgeous, heart-dropping smile.
  
−
Vicki glanced at us, ordering Carl and I to sheathe or weapons.
+
"You may call me anything you like. I shall accept it."
  
−
We did as she told, watching the priest slowly nod.
+
"Sex- er I mean Sig. Let's go with Sig. Short for Sigurd." Holy shit I was so nervous!
  
  
−
"Good. Very... very... good."
+
 
 +
"Very well. From now on, I will be addressed by my Black Legion codename."

Did she... completely brush off my Freudian slip just now?

Awe... awesome!

Someone normal in this crib!

No.

Long enough!

Goodbye, cockblocked life! Even if she is a robot, at least I still had my own waifu to greet me in the morning.

Sarah was fine enough... as far as looks go anyway.

Prologue

"A new Auxiliary Shadow?" I asked.

"Yep," Jun responded, caressing a mass of holographic data in his hand, which lit up the room with a cyan glow.


Great.

Another Auxiliary Shadow. Not like I needed another one.

I already had a Philly boy who would rather try and flirt with women than do missions, and a literal donut addict of a Hero who would get mad whenever I complimented her hair.


"Listen, Master Jun. I'm thankful for the things you've done for me, but I really, really, really don't need another Auxiliary Shadow. I work fine on my own. There isn't a single god I cannot defeat now with the weapons we've created together. So if anything, I could use another gun or something," I reasoned.


"Oh. Is that so? I guess I'll assign her to Outer Shadow Rollo then-"

"Wait wait wait. Did you just say her? Her? Like a girl, her?" I cut Jun off, my chest beating like crazy.

"Yeah. And she's pretty tall too, just saying."


I got off my knee and approached my Inner Shadow.


"Boy, you're pulling some dangerous strings here. What kind of girl are we talking about? I... I take back what I said earlier! We've got plenty of room at the Hope estate!" I stuttered like an idiot.


Jun smiled.

"Come on out, Infiltration Unit TX7F."


Infiltration... Unit?

The sound of high heels clicked in the background, as a curvaceous figure emerged from the darkness.


I realized my mouth was hanging open. Suspense filled the air.


No way.

Master Jun... you god... damn genius!


A pair of cyan eyes flashed in the dark, as TX7F approached us. She had a black skin-tight leather suit, and an incredible figure.

Her black hair was combed neatly across the front through a set of bangs.

Sure she wasn't blonde, but... damn.


"M- Master Jun... aren't you gonna introduce us?" I squeaked, my voice an octave higher than usual.

"Sure. This is Auxiliary Shadow Sigurd. This will be her codename. Notice how her codename is Norse themed? Just like the Outer Shadows. It's because she's special. I've designed her to be the perfect woma- er I mean Infiltrator. And she will be your closest Auxiliary."


I fell to my knees and knelt before Jun, slamming my forehead against the floor.


"ALL PRAISE MASTER JUN! HAIL!"

ALL PRAISE MASTER JUN GASKET! The Shadows whispered in unison.


The walk back to the Barracks were the most nerve-wracking moments of my life.


And I spent four years fighting deities with nothing but stolen firearms and scraps in the street.


"So... uh... Sig- TX- um... what do I call you?" I asked, nervously, turning to my new Auxiliary.

"You may call me anything you like. I shall accept it."

"Sex- er I mean Sig. Let's go with Sig. Short for Sigurd." Holy shit I was so nervous!


"Very well. From now on, I will be addressed by my Black Legion codename."

Did she... completely brush off my Freudian slip just now?

Awe... awesome!

Finally!

Someone normal in this crib!

Chrissake!


How long did it take?!

No.

Long enough!


Goodbye, cockblocked life! Even if she is a robot, at least I still had my own waifu to greet me in the morning.

Sarah was fine enough... as far as looks go anyway.

But this one...


Sigurd walked into the barracks, standing at the door. Her hair shone in the lights.

This one is a keeper.


And I only had my supergenius Inner Shadow to thank.


"Dainsleif."

"Yes, my lovely Sigurd?"

"What shall I eliminate first?"


?

What?


"Haha, what are you saying? There's nothing to eliminate here, Sig. You're in my barracks right no-"

"My precepts are to destroy and infiltrate. I have now infiltrated the environment, by taking advantage of your desire to do naughty things with my body."

"HEY HEY HEY! Don- Don't phrase it like that!"
