Chapter 1: United Parallel Angels
Rico's POV
It's been six months since we took down the Shadow Moon, and we were wondering where that mystery trio had disappeared to. Apparantly we also heard of a reassignment regarding someone, but i didn't know who specifically.
Regardless, everyone was simply milling around in various places of the Luxiole when Tact called everyone to the bridge.
Needless to say, we nearly crowded the darn place, for when Tact called for everyone he meant EVERYONE.
"Now, i'm sure you all are wondering about a reassignment. Well, i just received word of the location we're to go to in order for it to occur. Lester's gonna meet us there." he explained. We quickly entered Chrono Drive before arriving at the destination - and much to our surprise the Elsior was there.
Fortunately it was at an inhabited planet, so we wouldn't have to worry about being overcrowded or transmission issues. My surprise only grew once i saw her among Lester's group.
There was no missing her pink hair, or the flower-embroidered hairband.
"MILFIE!" i squealed in excitement, jumping into my older sister's arms.
"Hey, Rico. I'm guessing you're here about a potential reassignment."
"Yeah. What about you?"
"Same. But what's this i heard about you eavesdropping on someone having sex?" Milfie asked me. Okay, i'll admit i thought she'd ask about my increased hair length or THAT incident. How the heck did she know about -
"JACE!" i yelled, turning to him - only to see him pointing at a scarlet-faced Anise who was shyly scratching the back of her head.
"Sorry 'bout that, Rico. That's on me." she apologized.
"Says the sixteen-year-old who was getting railed." Tequila retorted.
This confused Milfie.
"How old are you, Jace?"
"Sixteen. Turning seventeen in a week."
"Oh. Still, Rico, you shouldn't listen in on such activities, you're only fourteen."
"Almo and Lester, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes - YAIZA!" a male voice yelped. Looking around i noticed a random male with blonde hair had been singing something regarding Lester, only for Ranpha to give him a serious wedgie. I turned to a confused Milfie.
"Not the first time someone's tried singing that only to get a wedgie before he can finish; if you remember, some Angel Squadron member sounding eerily similar to Tact started that but couldn't get to the G before Amethyst Psychically wedgied him."
"Oh yeah, forgot about that." With that, everyone entered the building we had been informed was where we'd learn of the person being reassigned.
Two males were waiting for us when we got in, along with a now-15 Empress Shiva. One male had grey hair and his eyes appeared closed, while the other was a blond (who looked nothing like the guy Ranpha wedgied earlier) with blue eyes.
"Ah, 'bout time you all turned up. Roselle Mateus' the name. Trained under Noa before i came here." the blond spoke first.
"And i'm Tapio Ca. I heard someone was involved in a reassignment, but i didn't expect ALL of you to be here."
"I'm guessing it's something big." Tact stated. It was then that Mint noticed something on the opposite end of the room.
"Why's there a stage akin to those used by the WWE in here?" she asked.
"Good question. You see, i brought all of you here today because i've heard you all were in the same location as a group based in GX during the fight with the Shadow Moon." Shiva began. "It was a member of that group who pitched this idea to me, in part because one of you is from the same dimension the meta-group to which the allies from that fight are a part of."
I glanced to my left - and saw that Anise literally had stars in her eyes.
"You mean -?" she began to ask before multiple jets of cyan flames erupted at the stage just as the music started.
"NO WAY! I KNOW THAT SONG!" Natsume squealed excitedly. "'Save Me' by Burn Halo."
'Save Me'?! Only one person uses that song as an entrance theme, AND the cyan flames that erupt when it starts are part of that same person's entrance. I decided to look towards the stage to see if my assumption was correct.
It was.
The figure had black hair reaching his knees, with a blue Mario Bros.-inspired cap on his head. The ever-present cyan-lens XF-LS9 scouter was in its usual place on his left ear, disguising his left eye color and concealing the cyan eyeshadow surrounding it. Visible in an open spot beneath the scouter were four earrings, three of them hanging, with all four also on the other ear in the same order. A cyan-banded choker studded with sapphires was visible on his neck, just above the black t-shirt of Jeff Dunham basis (particularly one of his characters, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, whose signature quote was emblazoned on the front). A pair of blue jeans with a small hole at the left knee held up by a brown belt were on his legs, with the bottom of the shirt tucked into them. The hole in the jeans also revealed the length of a pair of fishnet stockings, which were clad in a pair of very high heeled red stiletto pumps, allowing him to stand at a whopping six foot six.
There was no mistaking him. XQ Rainbow Angel division leader Jet Brazie. Five foot eleven when he wasn't in heels, the dual-gendered lefty was the primary pilot of the XKRS Solaris GT, from which the Angel Squadron's Emblem Frames (some of them designed by XQ, like Jace's Omega Falcon) were launched.
That's when it hit me. One of them had told Shiva of Jace's origins in pitching whatever their idea was.
Which meant that both Angel teams - Shiva had the Moon Angel Wing, which included Milfie, re-formed - were being made part of the Angel Squadron!
"So, everyone," Jet said, "by joining the Angel Squadron you gain access to new abilities beyond your wildest imaginations. The ability to travel to a different multiverse altogether, expand your horizons, learn new skills you most likely don't even hear about here. All while being rendered both immortal and eternally young. You'll be trained in power, you'll be trained in speed, you'll be trained to manipulate an energy that can be used for both offensive and flight purposes; if it's something you can train in you bet you'll be trained in it. Question, Almo?"
"Yeah." purple-haired Almo said, having raised a hand. "Who exactly pitched the idea of us joining the Angel Squadron?"
Jet didn't respond. Instead, he turned towards the stage and raised his right hand.
Only his ring finger wasn't up.
The Rainbow Angel sign!
"Well, that cuts down the potential culprit from 24 to 5." Lester (who had for some reason found himself inbetween Tact and Almo) said just as a different song started up.
"OH MY GOSH!" Anise squealed when it started. "THAT'S AMETHYST'S ENTRANCE THEME!"
"She would mention my origin in suggesting this, considering she did create the city i'm from." Jace (who happened to be sitting next to Anise on Almo's other side) stated.
"Wait, you're from Zelixena?" Almo asked him. I didn't blame her for asking; she hadn't been on the Luxiole when he revealed it six months ago.
"Azeat City more specifically." was Jace's response.
"Huh. Maybe that's why the Omega Falcon worked for you when you needed it to. Sorry if i asked something personal."
"Not your fault, you weren't on the Luxiole when i told the others six months ago. Anise here found out first on the department ship when i used the debit card linked to my account at a bank in Azeat City to purchase a few things for her from a hunting gear store, and then the others found out when one of the enemy trio who took Verel's place asked."
"So you decided to cover those purchases for her, considering your moves DID prevent her fron encountering me until after that battle." Mint said from behind Jace.
"Well, i DID eliminate the person who would've caused the encounter between you and Anise for something more sinister; used a teleportation spell i got from Tequila's spellbook to get to Dieta's position in an instant."
"Yeah." Lily added. "When he pulled it off i was en route back to the Luxiole, after he bested me and two other Seldar knights in a four-way battle. It was via that spell that he got to my position in the first place, having apparantly pulled a prank on someone and used my room - which the other female Angels on board at the time weren't allowed in while i was away - as a place to hide."
Forte blinked. "Who'd you prank that time?" she asked Jace.
"Me. The usual breast exposure prank." Tequila answered in his place from three seats to Anise's other side. "I will say, though, that the prankster tone almost never sees use around Anise."
"Actually, Tequila, i do use it around her but only when she's in on the prank, otherwise i stick to the suave gentleman persona that makes her blush so intensely. The blush is especially intense when you consider it's redder than her hair, which is pretty tough otherwise as she's a redhead."
"Reminds me of when we first met." Amethyst (who had gotten very close to Jace) said to Jet. "Still don't know why Hollie locked onto you while you were using Ice Star's Morph Ball at the time, but it's a good thing she did."
"Especially when you consider an explosion caused by whatever experiment Kendra was working on sent Arielle flying." Jet added. "Sure, Arielle MIGHT have grabbed Hollie's breast but considering what an incident in her youth involving Rochelle's signature elemental power causes her to do to males it was the best thing for her health."
My face went crimson in embarrassment.
"Who's Rochelle?" Nano asked.
"My brother Storm's wife." Jet answered. "Her signature elemental power is pyrokinesis, and with what it can potentially do when out of control it's understandable that Rico's reaction to a male touch resulted from it. What makes hers unique is that besides the normal red to orange range she can also utilize it in her favorite color pink, hence one of her main nicknames."
"It's thanks to Rochelle that Kendra and Tyra have separate bodies." Amethyst added.
"So they're another multiverse's version of me and my other half Kahlua, then." Tequila assumed.
"That's right. My own home multiverse, more specifically. Same with Arielle, that world's version of Rico."
"Okay, i'm confused." Lily spoke up. "Where did she come up with Arielle when she mostly went by Rico before the change?"
"She may have normally used Rico, but she swapped to Arielle because it ranked better than most of the options she had available for an 'R' initial. She DID like Rochelle better - at the time of the Angel Squadron's formation my blonde ZK3 teammate had it as her middle name - but Fate had her changing it to Arielle so that HER older sister, having changed hers to Maranda, could join the Rainbow Angels. I was the second of my world's Rune Angels to learn this; after having jumped then-Dark Vector agent Doven Malfoy following me and the other ZK3 girls having killed the Shadow Queen, Zephyr - my world's Natsume - told me of her discovery. Thanks to a revelation regarding the disappearance of Zephyr's older sister Kara - i would later find her in her kidnapper's home dimension in the GD multiverse the next mission - she had newly ascended to the Nova Legend Goddess form."
"Zephyr hit the peak of Tier 4 at the age of 11?!" Natsume exclaimed.
"Yup."
"So, what led to the prank eventually resulting in Dieta being killed?" Jet asked.
"I was initially trying to pull off something against the Luxiole, but before i could say ANYTHING Jace, using the persona he normally uses around me, manages to turn me from the confident treasure hunter i was initially intending to be in the encounter to a shy, blushing girl who couldn't think straight. It wasn't until i saw Tact and Kazuya running towards a door in the back of the screen that i was able to partially regain my normal composure; Jace emphasizing a specific word led to me fleeing before the Angels - there were only three, not counting Kazuya when i learned he was the new recruit later on, present - could deploy. While in Chrono Drive i discovered my emotional reaction to the tone Jace used when speaking to me was more intense than i thought, for i had completely soaked my panties." Anise spoke.
"Jet's done that to me a few times, but with a flirtatious hint in his voice." Amethyst remarked. "One led to Hollie revealing Zephyr was one of the Rainbow Angels' nine Deltas - when the group had its own XQ division formed in 2039 her Delta number was set as 8 even though her Angel designation number is 6 - and another was a counterflirt with me using Full-Power Super Saiyan as part of a disguise that he saw through almost instantly but didn't reveal it in front of three guys who i had assumed the disguise in order to try to get some information regarding any plans they had."
"What regarding said plans did you learn?" Vanilla asked.
"Unfortunately, nothing whatsoever as before the lead guy could say ANYTHING, one of his subordinates recognized a then-short-haired Jet as an XQ agent and they promptly bailed. It wasn't until i recognized them when my Rune Angel team were sent to investigate an SOS from a ship they had hijacked that i revealed the disguise, for Full-Power Super Saiyan doesn't use the flame-like aura the normal version does; thanks to that, they thought the disguise i was using was actually a completely different person who was naturally a green-eyed blonde."
"Within an hour the Rainbow Angel Bond had activated, when i decided to engage her in an intimate activity. Milfie, that was what led to Rico's involvement in the plot that enabled Jace to activate the Omega Falcon, and her new hair length was part of the consequences for her."
"Oh."
"Speaking of which," Jace spoke up, turning to Tequila, "while Kahlua's active you're complaining about those heels every chance you get; as Tequila you only mentioned them once, and THAT was a remark regarding your surprise that they carried over between personas during our encounter on the department store ship. THAT's why i haven't attempted to contact Jasmine for the keys."
This caused Tequila's face to go crimson.
"You see, Jace," she started, her voice noticeably shy, "ever since i turned 18 i've been wanting a pair of heels like these, but it wasn't until Lily asked me about participating in that plan regarding you and the Omega Falcon that i realized if your ZeraLog manages to record it that i got an opportunity to get some."
"Jace wasn't in on the plan, considering his rush to the hangar and that absolutely wicked clothesline he gave me en route." Coronet stated.
"That's because i had managed to word my request for these heels i'm currently in in a way that made him think i was planning something entirely different on my own and not what actually happened. As much as i want to wear these forever, i don't think Kahlua would like it."
"Rochelle should be able to put the two of you in separate bodies; she did the same thing with Kendra and Tyra. I'll just have her make sure Kahlua's active when she pulls this one off, so she can focus on what shoes she wants to have on once she has her own body." Amethyst spoke up, leaning in close to the blushing purple-haired girl.
"Excellent idea, Amethyst, that's the XQ way of thinking." Jet stated. He then leaned in toward Tequila himself and added, a flirtatious hint in his voice now, "Once she finishes with the persona separation Rosa won't be the only Rainbow Angel specializing in thigh-high ballet boots."
Tequila's blush intensified big time.
Jace's POV
"WOW! This ship is unbelievable. Look at all the tech on board!" Natsume squealed excitedly. We were taking a tour of the XKRS Solaris GT, the carrier from XQ Project Z-2552 that served as the command vessel of the Angel Squadron.
"It's all XQ tech, more specifically, which makes it extremely sophisticated." Jet explained.
"AMAZING!" Anise stated, awestruck. She had found herself in the hangar nearby and was looking at an Emblem Frame near the middle. I walked up to her, Amethyst in tow.
The Emblem Frame in question looked practically identical to the Relic Raider i was familiar with.
"Like it? It's my Emblem Frame." Amethyst stated.
"It looks almost identical to my own, actually." Anise noted. "The only difference is the XQ insignia on it and two extra cannons."
"Hey, what's this button?" i asked, pointing to a button with the Rainbow Angel insignia on it.
"THAT, Jace, is how i learned of my status on the Rainbow Angels. The Rainbow Omega Cannon, a weapon of insane power that only reveals itself to the primary Alpha of a Level 4-Omega Soul Bond. Melina Barrett, the girl who acclimated me to my home multiverse's Rune Angels, was the one who recognized it; since she didn't have the XQ transmission frequency she had Lester contact GZ Volcott, who knew it from an incident where Jet used the Solaris GT to aid in Rochelle's rescue of that world's version of Ranpha as a result of a rape incident. I added my Milfie-esque hairband and Ranpha-based hair clips when i first met Rochelle, who had been given them herself following said rescue; before i started my first mission after J.C. gave me my signature nickname Arielle gave me one of the ribbons. That first mission, which was me doing a sort of altered run of the second Paper Mario game, was where i learned the revelation responsible for Zephyr's Nova Legend Goddess ascent; when Alpha of Team Vexus revealed it to me following me destroying Doven's Imperius Curse-emitting amulet during an encounter in Glitzville i underwent my own ascent to the same form."
"Had two Crystal Stars and was going for the third, then." i stated.
"Sure was. The only difference, besides me in Mario's place and Alpha standing in for the normal opponent at that point, was that i had Vivian on my team when she actually doesn't join until after Doopliss - copied his special ability by way of a technique duplication skill unrelated Kiara teaches anyone on XQ, regardless of division as she's from the dimension the game featuring the skill takes place in - had taken over Mario's body during the pursuit of the fourth Star. Got her to join my side earlier than she does in the actual game to avoid what causes her change of allegiance, which i knew via my Psychic abilities."
"I'm guessing Melina is Mint's variant from your home multiverse." Anise guessed.
"Yep."
"Hey, what's going on?" a new female voice asked. Looking around i saw two girls standing at the entrance to the hangar. One had blonde hair that bore the same highlight colors as Amethyst but with the advantage reversed, while the other had dark blue hair with red and green accents evenly divided.
Notably, both had a fringe the same color as Amethyst's main color and one that was that of the other's main.
"Hey Jace. How's it been with the Angels?" the blue-haired one asked.
"Pretty good Jade. Got myself a sexy girlfriend. Managed to get another Angel to join in before she normally does as well, but there's something that's concerning."
"ANOTHER version of that trio?!" blondie asked.
"Yes. I don't know where exactly THIS trio's from, but they MUST have something archived from WLI, they used Voros Control to escape."
"Where's she from?" Jade asked, having noticed my Anise.
"ZVE." Anise answered in my place. "Jet just made both Angel teams from my home multiverse part of the Angel Squadron."
"It was my idea though, considering my city is where Jace is from." Amethyst added.
"True." blondie said. "XQ Tech Squad just got a new Emblem Frame design loaded onto the Luxiole for Kahlua now that she and Tequila have separate bodies. Jade and i gotta go, so you can return to ZVE and deal with whatever enemy might be planning something."
"Sure thing. See ya Rochelle, Jade." i said. The two girls then teleported off before me and my Anise left the Solaris GT to return to the Luxiole.
