World Trigger: Specials
Beach Special 1
(Kido POV)
Commander Kido looked over his papers as various reports came into the morning. It was apparently more of the usual, the same stuff always there and present. As expected, nothing that was too off. However...
"Hold on...all of these squads having off at the same time?"
As he read, he discovered something strange. A large list of squads, some not making sense to even be in the same list, were here together. Mikumo Squad, Williams Squad, Tsukiko Squad, Tenryu Squad, Senzai Squad, Subaru Squad, Temba Squad, Agent Minoru, Tamakoma-1, and many many others all for some reason had the exact same days off as each other. Normally this would be fine, but with those particular people...
"Just what are those idiots up to..."
"Don't forget Arashiyama Squad and Arafune".
"If I listed them all it would just get ridiculous. At least Suwa is still on duty..."
"Well if you are wondering where they all went, I think I heard something about a beach day..."
Kido could only groan as he imagined the ramifications of that group together.
(Tora 3rd POV)
"Now can you please let me out of this damn thing!?"
"Dunno~"
Tora was currently desperately trying to remove his current prison, a cat themed onesie PJ that had the zipper placed in the back for maximum annoyance. Although he was desperately trying to take it off on his own, he had already come to suspect it was impossible to.
It was something Sarah made him wear both as a joke and to punish him for not being honest about his feelings again. He was completely naked inside, so anyone who helped him he would have to expose his naked body too. Even though Sarah had seen him naked plenty of times, he got embarrassed each and every time and therefore did not like it.
"Do you promise to sleep completely naked next time?"
Sarah was doing this for his own good granted, as his mentally development lacked the embarrassing memories of being a young child thanks to the fact he was imprisoned in a research laboratory in the Neighborhood for as long as he could remember. It was a crucial part that was actually causing inner turmoil inside his mind, as he lacked any human connections or any skin to skin contact with another lifeform the whole time he was in there. So, though somewhat unconventional means, she was helping him. Actually, she helped clean up any wound he got while playing, she cooked most of his meals, and she helped him study and prepare for this world as well. But...she did get some personal amusement from this as well, of course.
The pyjammas she thought might be symbolic of his last barrier of trust perhaps. If she could get him to sleep completely naked with her, it would represent the ultimate form of trust and psychologically cement their connection completely. Even more then when she helped bathe him, since he didn't even know what a proper bath was before coming to Mideen. Apparently, all they did was make him stand with his hands against a wall while they shot some sort of super water gun at him. No tenderness, no care. Just brutality and cold water.
He didn't even know bathwater could be warm until she gave him a bath!
So to help push him along, she made him wear a pair of pyjammas that one could only get out of by help from another. And of course, they were adorable looking full body cat pyjammas. They even had feet and hands attached, so the only opening was for the head. There was a tail attached to the back, and ears attached to the hood. So he looked extremely adorable right now.
This could be said to be a bit mean of Sarah since it meant he was absolutely helpless without someone to help him. He was legitimately trapped inside it, and if he tried to destroy it...well, Sarah would get worse.
It was hard to grip anything with the hands so Sarah had to feed him. But there was one thing he absolutely couldn't do with it on no matter what. Although making him completely helpless and reliant on her was adorable even she wouldn't go this far.
"Please! This is a serious emergency! Besides, is this really important today?!"
It meant if he had to go to the bathroom, either she would need to let him out, make him wear a diaper, or let the PJ get ruined. The second option seemed a bit too severe for her tastes, but maybe she would go with it one day to Tora's displeasure...and the third she also didn't want. Besides, if she forced him this far it might end up with a bad backlash so...she went over and quickly unzipped it. Surely enough, he also had to desperately use the bathroom. Pulling off the cat based costume, he ran right into the bathroom the moment he was free.
Plus he was right, today was not the time for all this as much as Sarah got amusement from teasing Tora like this. Today they had plans.
Sarah made sure to lay some things outside his door. She wanted to watch him come out as well, embarrass him from having to walk out and get changed right in front of her. Even forcibly help him. But as if putting the kybosh on her plans to do those things, the doorbell rang and forced her away.
"And I bet I know who it is too..."
She said with a half chuckle, opening the door. And surely enough it was...
"Hey Shun".
Shun Midorikawa was there, dressed in orange swim trunks, a red T shirt, and carrying some bags full of beach related gear as well as some sandals on his feet. Sarah herself was already changed as well, and was just wearing a T shirt and skirt over her bathing suit.
"Hey Sarah! Tora! Are you ready for today?!"
"Yeah! I am in the bathroom right now! Sarah was being mean and wouldn't let me out!"
Shun just blinked in confusion, but then saw the animal onesie that had a zipper on the back.
"Really Sarah?"
"What?!"
"I know its to help him but...really?"
"He looked so adorable in it!"
"You are never being in charge of any party we go to..."
"I am sure Suzu has one for you as well".
He shook his head to get that thought out of his mind, and then looked towards the door. Rather then think about something he was sure was true, he would rather think about their plans for today.
"Whatever! Tora hurry up! The others are waiting for us!"
"Coming! Just finished getting changed!"
When Sarah heard that, she looked to the door and saw what she left outside was gone. Tora had managed to sneak grab it when she had not been looking.
He came out wearing a red swimsuit, a white T shirt, and some water shoes. If one was wondering why not just get him sandals, that was because the sandals in his size...well, water shoes stayed on his feet better anyways. And while Sarah thought teasing him was fine, wearing those sandals...well, he was twelve, not six. Making him wear those all day would just be mean.
Of course, one had to consider what Sarah defined as mean when she considered stealing his swimsuit while he was playing in the water, but that was besides the point right? Not to mention she knew Suzu had the same idea.
If Tora knew those two conspired on occasion, chills would go down his spine.
"Anyways, I will drive!"
"Fine fine To...no, wait!"
"Sarah is right! Stop Tora!"
"Tora, you are not allowed to drive legally unless it is an emergency!"
But when Tora announced he would drive, it was Sarah, Midorikawa, and Mimik that got chills. Excluding certain situations, Tora should not drive. Especially not in normal situations with normal people on the road.
And so the trio raced off to stop him. Not to mention...
"Haha!"
"What the?!"
Sarah had one last surprise for Tora she sprung on him before he could resist as they stopped him, and made sure to keep it in place.
(Kuga POV)
"Oooh. I have not seen a bathing suit like that before".
Yuma Kuga, B-Ranked Border Agent for Tamakoma-2, said that as Chika joined them in the van.
"I thought all swimsuits on Mideen for girls came in two pieces?"
Unfortunately for Yuma, he only knew of swimsuits typically seen on TV, or the ones Konami wore sometimes, so this was the first time he saw a one piece swimsuit. The others who looked at him realized this soon after though, and explained it.
"You should keep that in mind for the future, Yuma. This world has large varieties of all types of things".
Replica told Yuma this as he floated into the car.
"What took you so long?"
"I was communicating with Mimik. It appears that they are also heading out...though, it sounded like Tora was going to try and drive".
Suddenly, everyone but Konami flinched and made a face. Even Yuma.
"What do you mean? I did a great job teaching him how to drive I think!"
"...I...I cant even remotely respond to that seriously".
"I don't know much about driving, but I experienced Konami's driving before and heard she taught Tora..."
Thankfully, the one driving them today was Reiji. It also helped that they could fit everyone in here, including Hyuse who was actually in Trigger mode in a specially designed Trion body that was basically him without horns in a swimsuit, because Karasuma was picking up a few others that lacked a ride. That would be Temba Squad, whose operator lacked a drivers license herself.
Today, Tamakoma 1, 2, and 3 along with various friends of theirs were going to enjoy a beach day.
Hyuse and Replica then looked at each other, though both remained expressionless. Reiji just looked at the two of them, and sighed.
"I feel like you two just shouldn't here together, at least at the same time".
While voicing those strange words, Reiji started the van and made their way towards the beach.
(Minoru POV)
"Come on Taka! We are going to be late!"
"Bark bark!"
As this went on, Minoru who had been invited by Tsukiko Squad, who knew the whole Tamakoma Branch, and Temba Squad and Subaru Squad, had also been invited. And as such, he was also bringing his dog Taka. However, this was without him knowing that Arafune, who disliked/was afraid of dogs, was also coming. As for how Arafune got invited, that was apparently because they were the ones who gave Temba Squad sniping lessons so they were familiar.
He was already dressed and ready to go, but he forgot to ask for a ride there. So he was heading towards Temba Squad's apartment, hoping to catch them in time before they left and he had to take a bus.
"Relax! So long as Konami and Tora are not the ones driving, everyone should be fine!"
(Cylian POV)
"There he is! Lets go!"
The moment that Karasuma drove out in front, a trio of boys raced out of the door clad in swim trunks, T shirts, and water shoes while carrying a large amount of gear. In fact, it was so much gear...
"You three...are you using Trion Forms as clothing again?"
Those three were the infamous Temba Squad, the oddball, goodball team that were masters of traps and defenses. They were also the ultimate pranksters, and the only people to ever successfully pull a prank on Jin who had a Foresight side effect. That made them legendary.
However, there was no reason Karasuma should know about that last part!
Cylian immediately went red with excessive blushing.
"N..no! How did...I admit we did modify the Trion body appearance and are in them now, but...but..."
"...you are, aren't you? Are you naked in your real bodies again?"
"Ah! Excuse me! Don't scold them Karasuma-sempai, this time its my bad!"
Before anything more could be said, the operator of Temba Squad who was decked out in beach wear herself came running up to the front of their apartment building.
"When...when we went to buy clothes before, I failed to realize that as they were previously orphans, and then skimped on some ridiculous stuff so they could send money to their poor orphanage, they never had swimsuits. Here you go, you three".
She passed them each a real swimsuit. However, when she looked at the time and saw everything was loaded, she glanced for a second.
"Did you three lock the door?"
"Yeah. We have a key so we ca...wuah?!"
Suddenly, she pulled all of Temba Squad into the back of the car, and then got into the front and told Karasuma to drive. She then looked back at the three of them.
"Deactivate Triggers, now! And change into those!"
She told them that as the car began to move.
"Wait wait! But..."
"We are in the front seat. Also, I have already seen all of you naked and Karasuma is a guy with girls lining up to be his, so you have nothing to fear! Now do it! I don't even want to think what modified Triggers you might have anyways...no pulling any pranks while at the beach! So just do it!"
"But..."
"Do it!"
As the three deactivated Triggers and began to pull on their swimsuits while in the back seat, Karasuma shrugged while staying focused on the road.
"Yamato-san, they are boys and it is a beach day...and Konami is going".
Hearing all that, their operator Kasumi Yamato realized that was an impossible task. She looked back at the four of them...
"Alright, just...don't go too far. Konami doesn't deserve too much, so the four of you keep that in mind..."
And with that...she finally noticed.
"Four?"
"Whew! Barely made it in before you started driving! And don't worry you three, you are too young to be my type...though the show was...amusing..."
"Bark bark!"
Minoru had just barely made it in time to not be left behind, along with his puppy sized dog Taka.
(Senzai POV)
"Quickly! Hurry up hurry up! We are going to be late!"
"Hey hey now! Hold up! I am not that young anymore!"
"Oh quiet you! You are only twenty five years old! And...no! Sthenos! Keep that on!"
"But how am I supposed to play in the water when this thing will reflect all of it! Besides, we are going to play in the water right?"
"Its there so you don't have to wear any clothes that would be uncomfortable to get wet while swimming!"
"But why? In the Neighborhood, people just swim naked. No one bothers with all this pointless waste of fabric..."
"Pointless waste...Sthenos! Please, just do this so we don't get in trouble and can enjoy ourselves at the beach okay?"
The supposedly fifteen year old girl that only looked ten years old in appearance, Sthenos sighed as her squad leader Senshi Senzai tried to convince the Trion Soldier that looked like a human not to do something considered crazy in this world.
Meanwhile his other teammate, Ite Shingai just shook his head and chuckled as their operator, the twenty five year old man that looked older then that and was like a father to them, Fusegu Tekitai was finally bringing the rest of the bags over. He was the one who would drive them to the beach, though he took quite a bit of time doing so.
"Look at it this way. You will at least be safe with me driving. Did you hear that Tora learned how to drive from Konami?"
The group paled when they heard that. Some because they knew about Konami's driving ability, and otherwise some saw Tora drive. Only Sthenos was unphased.
"What do you mean? Tora is an excellent driver! His ability to react to danger, dodge incoming fire, perform pre-emptive evasive maneuvers, and handle road conditions during the invasion were incredible!"
"...Sthenos, that is not how normal people are supposed to drive..."
"Eh?"
Of course, the only one who thought differently lacked any real common sense as well.
(Shobu POV)
"Shobu, you excited for this?"
As everyone else took their own routes, three people had decided to use their Trion Bodies to get their own their own. They jumped from rooftop to rooftop while using Chameleon so no one noticed. That would be Shobu Tenryu, Kazekiri Kirigiri, and Kirisame Mori of Tenryu Squad. In all truth, at this exact moment one could compare them more like ninja then Border Agents. Especially Shobu, who had a shy and quiet personality normally.
The main reason he was going was at the insistence of Temba Squad, and his own teammates, that it would be great for him to join. Of course, he was a boy shorter then most for his age, but Temba Squad was also quite short and so was Yuma, Chika, and especially Tora. Plus Sthenos was also coming, so he couldn't use that as some excuse not to come.
They were all planning to spend the whole day at the beach, and were headed there quite early. The three had their normal bodies already dressed in beach gear, so all they had to do was deactivate their Triggers and they would be set.
Well, actually there was also another reason Shobu wanted to go as well.
But, I can't let anyone else know that. He made me promise to keep what we are up to and have been up to a secret after all!
Shobu valued friends, so he had no intention of betraying trust and breaking the promise he made. He would be there to help, and to make sure nothing went wrong, as well as have fun at the beach.
Also, there was the other request he got from Mei of Tsukiko Squad as well...but his whole squad was keyed in on that.
"...yeah, a bit. But you have to remember what else we need to do".
"Oh, right!"
The three of them repeated the order from Mei in unison.
"Keep Yuki from eating too much ice cream, Suzu from bothering too many people with ships and her weird desires, and absolutely do not let Temba Squad set up any elaborate pranks!"
And so, the Secret Shobu Ninja Unit had missions to complete on this recreational beach day.
(Yuki POV)
"Get out of the way! Next stop, the beach and ice cream!"
"Who the hell thought letting Yuki drive us to the beach was a good idea?!"
"Tora drives better then this! And he is nine!"
"Twelve, Suzu".
"Right...and in a few years, maybe next year if he grows a bit, suitable for some M-Rated..."
"Suzu! No! Bad! Besides...you know him growing is all but confirmed to never happen!"
Based on what they had learned, Mei gave him the chance of ever growing to even close to adult size to be very low. As such, a nickname "Eternal Shota" was accidentally started that she was thoroughly crushing. As well as any perverts lured in by it.
"Just saying, if its true...one day, it should be fine to put him in some fun manga..."
"At least she is not shipping him with anyone right now".
"Oh, I already did. The ToraXSarah ship is real! But for now, just fluff. For now...ow!"
Mei had been forced to hit Suzu, but held back a bit so that the car did not go off balance and crash into something. Althought with Yuki's driving, it seemed like they might crash anyways.
And while that was going on...
(Izumi POV)
"I think...we got here a bit earlie, Kei".
Kei and Izumi were standing there already, looking upon the beach but did not see anyone else yet. It looked like they had gotten there a bit...
"Oh! Is that Tachikawa Squad I see over there? Well, minus one member?"
And before Izumi could finish the thought, a friendly voice washed over them. It was the voice of a fellow A-Ranker, Yumi Subaru with the rest of Subaru Squad behind her.
"Hey, Subaru-san..."
"I told you to call me Yumi, Izumi-sempai!"
"Yes yes, Yumi...-chan?"
"That's fine!"
"Right, well, it looks like we might be early".
"Nah...if you listen, you can hear numerous familiar engine noises...and maybe you can sense three pairs of eyes on us. Seriously guys?!"
Suddenly, three people deactivated their Triggers and Shobu Squad, all wearing swim trunks, and carrying all sorts of bags for food and supplies, appeared in front of them.
At the same time, several vehicles arrived, and one rather recklessly, in the parking lot in front of them. Most raced out immediately after grabbing some of their cargo, and they all raced towards the beach with some locking up the vehicles behind them. It was a rather explosive entrance. There were also some getting off a bus that arrived at the same time, such as Arafune Squad and Arashiyama Squad. Others might arrive later as well, but for now...
"Let the beach day begin!"
Although there was one thing Izumi did notice...
"Tora...Pfft...what is that?!"
"Do...don't laugh!"
(Kranz POV)
"Really boss?"
And at another beach entrance, a certain Neighbor and his subordinates had also arrived for a day off. Well, that and...
"Yeah. We do get occasional days off after all, this is one of them. Besides, right now we cant do much besides prepwork. And this will let us test the effectiveness of the camo system for the Champion. Isn't that right...Champ?"
A young looking boy around Tora's size walked up to the scientists who looked like a normal person at the moment.
"Yessir, daddy!"
"Good...the artificial voice box is working too. Alright, lets go enjoy ourselves while we collect data!"
And thus began what would be known as the strangest Beach Day ever...
