Journey to the East Part 1

*While Yin-Yang is doing her review of FMP Nitsuj comes face to face with the one man who can help him*

(Nitsuj): Surprised to see me?

(Justin): A little. You could have told me you were dropping by. How long has it been?

(Nitsuj): Pretty long. The last time we met was when we or should I say you started Project Nitsuj and I came to you for some advice.

(Justin): And did it work?

(Nitsuj): I’m still here aren’t I? But I didn’t come here to talk about Project Nitsuj, I came here to talk about me. What’s going on with my body? I can’t use any of my anime moves and I’m sure you know why.

(Justin): Well yes I do. You see the problem is you’ve lost the anime force within you.

(Nitsuj): The anime force? What’s that?

(Justin): Well if I had to put it in the simplest of terms it’s what makes you, you. It’s your power source your own unique skill that only you can use because you’ve watched so much anime it’s become a part of you.

(Nitsuj): So that’s why I’ve been so off? Doesn’t exactly make a whole lot of sense.

(Justin): No. Actually it does when you stop to think about it. Don’t you find it odd that you were able do all these amazing superhuman feats with ease? Or get thrown out a window and yet somehow not have to go to the hospital or die from it? Create artificial intelligence and not get media attention because of it? Have supernatural beings as your next door neighbors and consider it normal? No human could do these things in the normal setting that I created.

(Nitsuj): The normal setting that you created?

(Justin): Yes. When I first created Project Nitsuj it was just going to be about this guy who loved anime and wanted to give his thoughts on it. The original set up never included AI girls, alternate dimensions, anime powers, specials, and supernatural beings. It was just going to be a guy talking about anime and giving his thoughts on what he liked and didn’t like about the anime. But something happened that changed everything. And that something was you.

(Nitsuj): Me?

(Justin): You became your own person. I created you as a way to express my thoughts on a particular anime without holding myself back but you somehow developed your own character and personality. You literally leapt from the pages and came to life creating your own world. Before long it felt like you were telling me all about your experiences and I just wrote them down for my blog.

(Nitsuj): So if that’s all true, then why did I lose the anime force?

(Justin): I don’t know.

(Nitsuj): What do you mean you don’t know? I can’t figure out what’s wrong so I figured you being the writer would. If you don’t know what’s wrong with me than who can help me?

(Justin): I don’t know. Here’s how I see it. In this world that you created you gave it freewill to move like a normal world so while it’s your world you can’t control every aspect of it.

(Nitsuj): So what you’re saying is I’m an actor in my own world? Crazy, but that sounds like something I would do. Why watch the world when you can interact with it?

(Justin): Exactly. Now here’s where it’s tricky and weird. I believe that you subconsciously have the ability to control situations that happen to you however you can’t control the outcome of those situations because you want them to play out naturally and controlling the outcome goes against your principals of freewill.

(Nitsuj): Oh man. If this is all true than your saying I wanted to lose the anime force on purpose. But why would I screw myself over like this?

(Justin): Beats me? Maybe in truth you wanted to discover something about yourself. If that’s the case than the key to solving this problem lies in your subconscious. Look deep within yourself and you’ll find the answer to what you must do next.

(Nitsuj): Alright. Let’s give it a try. What must I do next?

*Nitsuj closes his eyes and his mind begins to drift. He soon begins to see images of Akihabara, shrines, famous Japanese landmarks, monks and a fox*

(Nitsuj): That’s it. That’s where I must go next. Thanks Justin, you’ve. . .really helped me out.

(Justin): My pleasure. Best of luck. Also, one more thing.

*Justin walks up to Nitsuj and finger flicks his forehead*

(Nitsuj): Ow!

(Justin): That’s for coming here unannounced. That was rude. And this is to return you back to your world.

*Justin finger flicks Nitsuj’s forehead again and Nitsuj wakes back up in his world*

(Nitsuj): What an interesting trip.

(Chibi Isis): Nii-chan! You’re back.

(Mira): Did you get the answers you needed?

(Nitsuj): Yes. I know what I must do next. I’ve got to go to Japan.

(Shizuku): Japan? Why there?

(Nitsuj): What’s wrong with me is that the anime force the mysterious power the Jack Bros. don’t sense anymore has vanished and the only way to get it back is to go to Japan and find the anime monks.

(Isis): Anime monks?

(Nitsuj): They’re a secret society of otakus who guide people on the path to anime. Not only that but they’re masters of the anime force. They’re located in Akihabara. I find them I get the anime force back.

*Nitsuj explains as he finishes packing for his trip*

(Seras): We’re coming with you.

(Nitsuj): No. I need you and everyone else to stay here and host Project Nitsuj in my absence. Plus there’s a good chance those AI assassins might come back.

(Yin-Yang): All the more reason to let us go with you.

(Nitsuj): No.

(Isis): Than at least let me go, I’m not letting you go on this trip alone.

(Nitsuj): Guys I appreciate the concern but this is something I have to do on my own. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine I promise. Until then hold down the fort for me. Please you guys, you’re the only ones I can trust to run the show while I’m gone.

(Isis): Alright. But promise me you’ll stay out of trouble and come back safe.

(Nitsuj): I promise. Now pass me my sword.

*Chibi Isis passes Nitsuj his sword*

(Shizuku): You sure you wanna take that with you boss? Every time you do something bad usually happens.

(Nitsuj): Yeah, and when it does I wanna make sure I have a sword by my side to fight.

*Nitsuj gathers his things and heads out the front door*

(Nitsuj): This is goodbye for now guys. But don’t worry, I’ll be back.

*Nitsuj gets in his car and waves goodbye to everyone as he drives off to the airport*

(Chibi Isis): Do you think Nii-chan will be okay?

(Mira): Honestly speaking, we should be more worried about Japan.
