Chapter 2: News
11:15 AM (Japan Time), Wednesday August the 3rd…
"… A~h… Another excellent morning at the beach. I can't thank you enough, Zarashe!"
"Don't mind, Akashi – kun. I wanted some company since Uncle is at conferences and meetings most of the time."
"I feel bad about leaving the guys there but maybe they'll soon find a chance to go have a proper holiday."
"Let's hope so."
Two teen guys were chatting as they lied on towels placed on a beach somewhere.
One of them, named Akashi, was about Netto and Saito's age.
He had jet black messy hair and sported sunglasses.
He wore red swimming trunks and was lying atop a reddish towel: he looked amused.
The other, named Zarashe, was lying at his right atop a bluish towel and smiling.
He was about a couple inches taller than Akashi, had black messy hair and green eye irises since he was reading a book in the meanwhile.
He sported black swimming trunks.
"Hiro – kun, I'm back."
"Yo. Delta Team. What happened to FOXHOUND?"
"Hah, hah. That joke's running old. I'm Delta. And they're the Hunters' Guild. Not FOXHOUND."
"Heh!"
Akashi's PET (colored red and white) and having a lowercase "delta" character painted silver over a black background as emblem beeped and his Navi, Delta, projected.
Delta's main body color was jet black while his forearms, boots, shoulder plates, rear-pack and helmet were painted silver.
His face looked strikingly similar to Rock Man's although he had some slight differences regarding the eyes' irises (which were blue) and the shape of his cheek bones.
His emblem was the same delta character set on his chest and ear-pads: the central part of his helmet had a murkier silver color to it plus two rectangles and one band cutting across it starting at the back: some jet black hair came out from behind the helmet as well.
Overall, he looked extremely similar to Rock Man and seemed to be around his height as well.
He looked unimpressed as he was crossing his arms.
"Well. Nothing important seems to have happened insofar."
"Save that Rock and Roll are gonna propose?" Akashi joked.
"That's not funny." Delta scolded in a hushed tone.
"At all." Zarashe agreed with Delta.
"Sheesh." A voice complained.
"Hey. Beta X. How about you?"
"Nothing new either. Some small fry and Bubble Man's scams…"
Zarashe's PET was colored golden and blue while having a golden Alphabet "X" letter as emblem.
The Navi, Beta X, appealed as being over a meter and sixty tall, maybe closer to a meter and seventy.
His eyes' irises were blood red in coloring but they lacked pupils: his facial expression denoted seriousness.
His helmet's main color was black as well yet he had some blue pieces of armor built around the edges of it and spanning through the middle of the helmet: a red pyramidal jewel aiming downwards (similar to Omega's) had been set directly above his nose.
The helmet included five extensions shaped like wings and colored white plus a golden edge: two formed on the lower edge of the helmet, another two formed at a height over the eyes and the last one sprouted from the middle of his helmet while aiming upwards.
His main body's color choice was black: he had a white piece of armor set over the chest which contained a ruby jewel and two wing-like extensions spreading across the torso until the shoulders.
A golden edge surrounded his neck and formed a small collar-like object around it: his shoulders had white armor over it: three thin spear-like extensions formed behind them and gave off the impression of a wing as well: the uppermost piece was golden in coloring while the other two pieces were white.
His arms' skin was black until the elbow: white armor encompassed it and extended until the hands and fingers: a golden ring served as additional protection for the wrists.
The rest of his upper body had no decoration whatsoever until the hips, where the leg armor began at: a golden edge in the shape of a triangle marked the start of it.
The rest of the legs' armor was painted using white color palette: the knees had extra armor over them and two small and short wing-like extensions.
Golden pieces of armor showed up over the ankles yet there was a space between them and the legs: they were bent upwards to form a triangle and included the wing shapes on their edges.
Lastly, his feet's armor included two pieces of outer edge and another two pieces which were separated by a slight space between the front and the rear of them.
Overall, his appearance was reminiscent of a "fallen angel" given the color motifs and all the winged extensions.
"Forte's trolling around as usual. And it'd seem Rock Man and his family had to grab Hikari – hakase and spend hours discussing to convince him to stop overworking and going some days away to Gunma to disconnect from the job and all." Beta X sighed.
"Whoa." Zarashe whistled.
"Saw it coming… The hakase is a genius but he overworks himself thinking that he's gotta be proving he's competent 24/7… It's a miracle he hasn't fallen ill from so much overworking." Akashi sighed.
"Guess I should warn Uncle about that, too."
"If you feel like you must…"
"Ah yeah. Now Higure – san's gotten obsessed with The Last Samurai and names himself "The Samurai of Light Higure Koutarou"…"
"Higure Koutarou! Samurai of Light!" Akashi laughed.
"Wasn't that the Chip Store owner? The former WWW man?" Zarashe frowned and recalled.
"Yeah… Man! He's really gotten weird this year! A month ago he was trying to sell "eco-friendly" wooden fans which you had to manually spin with an iron bar… Now this!" Akashi laughed.
"Really…" Zarashe rolled his eyes.
"OK! Freshly picked news: juicy enough! I'm off to the diving zone! I'm counting on ya, Zarashe!"
"Sure, sure."
Akashi stood up and left his sunglasses behind revealing blue eye irises: he ran towards the sea and jumped in to then begin crawling and heading towards the right: Zarashe resumed reading the novel.
"Hey… Is this spot free?" A voice asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah."
"Thanks."
Zarashe looked up and spotted Eisei (who wore green and brown swimming trunks, a white sleeveless shirt, brown sandals and a green cap plus sunglasses) standing to his right and carrying a grayish towel under his right arm: he unfolded the towel and lay there as he drew his PET and checked something: Zarashe was focusing again on his novel while Eisei formed a very quick snicker which went unnoticed: he then pulled up his shirt and placed it behind his head to lean: he began to sun-bathe as he apparently heard to music using the PET and a couple of earphones.
"By the way… Delta… Do you know any "Yuuyami – sama"?"
"Yuuyami? Twilight? No."
"There's an advert that says "Yuuyamiya at Akihara Town! De musa!"…"
"Oh come on. Higure – san got a fit of inspiration and changed his name to Yuuyami." Delta groaned.
"Someone should shower him with cold water."
"Totally."
"Oh, so you're from that town? I dropped by yesterday 'cause a buddy suggested I check it out and I totally freaked. Don't tell me the store owner turned weirder in just 24 hours." Eisei gasped.
"Huh? Yeah. Seems to…" Zarashe timidly replied.
"It's not "seems to". It's totally confirmed by now." Beta X sighed.
"Man. Talk about living in an odd city."
"I don't live there. I live in Kyoto. My friend who went bathing does live there, though."
"My bad, Danna."
"Don't mind it. Not like you could know."
"Ah. Of course. Sorry for bothering."
"It's nothing."
Eisei remained quiet while Zarashe kept on reading: Beta X and Delta were talking in a hushed tone: Akashi was still seemingly swimming inside of the sea.
"Hmmm? Another email… From "Duke of Kabigon"… Why do I feel like it's gotta be Forte?" Delta sighed.
"Same here… "Ka-ka-bi-kabi-go-kabigo-n-kabigon!"… How funny."
"Really…" Zarashe sighed.
"We should update the spam filters." Beta X suggested to Delta.
"Of course. Let's get it done NOW. Less headaches."
The Navis vanished inside of their respective PETs: Eisei formed a brief snicker again while Zarashe began to hum a tune.
Heh, heh, heh… Tonight… Festival! Heh, heh, heh… Let's have patience and make sure it all goes as planned… Heh, heh, heh… I'm a genius, yessir!
13:34 PM (Japan Time)…
"… Huff, huff, huff…! N-no more…!"
"Come on, Papa…"
"Put some more effort into it…"
"Yuuichirou – san: please be cooperative."
"B-but… Huff, huff…"
Netto and Saito had been walking across a town along with Haruka and Yuuichirou but he suddenly sat on a bench and looked like he was already exhausted: Haruka sighed along with her sons.
"You need to do exercise." Haruka told him.
"I know, but…! Having to walk across this town… Couldn't have we done a shorter route?"
"You'll get used to it. You used to love walking around. Don't you remember 2 years ago how we went to meet our high school friends?"
"I know, Haruka, but…! I feel like…!"
"No! No more talk about work. You've proven yourself more than enough and the staff agrees on it. You need to take care of another VERY important duty: your family, Yuuichirou – san! So please try to enjoy!"
"Ahem, ahem… Anyone home~?" A voice called out from Netto's Link PET all of a sudden.
"Eh? Hello? Yes, who is it?"
"I think I've heard it somewhere else." Saito frowned.
Netto picked the PET and activated the hologram display: he gasped and so did Saito.
"Y-you're…!"
"Been a while… About 8 months, I think?"
A Navi had appeared inside of the PET.
Black armor made of an unknown material covered the whole of his body thus protecting him.
The helmet around his head lacked nose or mouth yet it had two cavities for the eyes which were plain red and lacking iris: but they seemed to be a decoration more than his real eyes, too.
His shoulders were plain and didn't have a spheroid form unlike most Navis: he had elbows and the armor over the hands included two small dome-shaped objects with the Alphabet "T" character colored in rainbow colors drawn upon them.
The armor extended across his legs, being thicker around the knees and ended in ellipsoid segments protecting his feet: rainbow-colored lines travelled down their length.
The main body was absent of decoration save for a pattern drawing the same Alphabet "T" letter in the middle of the chest the colors of which were constantly shifting and mixing.
Lastly, four large and irregularly-shaped wings formed behind him: its colors were also constantly shifting, too.
"Tabuu…!" Both whispered.
"What!" Yuuichirou gasped.
"Who?" Haruka wondered.
"I'm afraid we hadn't met before, Hikari – san… Name's Tabuu. A lone Navi. I staged some show last autumn and then had to leave overseas until now…" He quickly introduced himself.
"Oh, I see."
"What are you doing here?" Netto asked.
"Before you ask anything: I came in aibou's name."
"Zataki – san's?"
"We've got TROUBLE."
"What trouble?" Yuuichirou asked.
"A sneaky youngster."
"Sneaky youngster…? Someone we know of?"
"Yeah… Well, the youngster isn't THAT much of a problem…"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"There's someone who's hired that youngster as an accomplice… A very dangerous man… Whom you know all too well."
"No way! Virus Trip Daemon?" The twins gasped.
"Goodness! That's the villain who kidnapped them…!" Haruka gasped.
"He's alive?" Yuuichirou cursed.
"Sadly enough, yes. Was smug enough to send a message to us through his accomplice. Well. Aibou had the hunch he was. The stunt he pulled was the same I did so… Although Virus couldn't possibly know about my stunt because it isn't recorded anywhere."
"And who's that accomplice?"
"Name's Eisei Aaron."
"Hey! He was in Akihara Town yesterday! He bought Chips at Higureya and signed up for a membership card!" Netto gasped.
"Heck. I knew it. He's come to scout already."
"What's Virus up to this time around?" Yuuichirou asked.
"That's the problem. We still don't know. He staged a little show in an isolated overseas region manipulating some guys and we put a halt to it a few days ago. That's when we got the message. So I rushed here while aibou is finishing explaining to the local authorities. However… If Virus is so devoted to Anaya Maria, the "Ice Queen", then… He won't pull the same plan twice. Because that'd shun him in the eyes of Anaya. And the guy won't do that, obviously enough." He exposed.
"So… When's Zataki – san coming?"
"Tomorrow. Along with Omega. Blood and Sigma will remain on the region to make sure there are no other "backups" left out there."
"Alright."
"Sorry for the timing. Thought you'd be at home…"
"We were until yesterday."
"I see. Sorry for running the good mood but it had to be done."
"It's alright. It's not like we were too animated as of late either."
"But that doesn't mean you need to cancel anything. Because that'd be showing the guy you're afraid. And then the guy wins on the psychological warfare territory."
"Good point."
"By the way: Obihiro wasn't at home either. Seems he's brought his PC along somewhere else. Any ideas?"
"His cousin Akira invited him to his house in Scotland. I dunno the city but if you search for "Akira" you should find him. There can't be that many living out there in Scotland."
"Alright. I'll start searching. See you around."
Tabuu's hologram vanished and the group sighed: they then shrugged and resumed their walk as if nothing had happened.
"Like Tabuu says… We must act like nothing's happened." Yuuichirou looked quite serious by now.
"Exactly, Yuuichirou – san! Which is why… Let's have some yakisoba for lunch: there are 2 or 3 restaurants that are pretty well rated in the travel guide." Haruka smiled and showed them the travel guide.
"Yakisoba? Yummy!" Netto got animated.
"Now, Netto – kun. Hold back the Kabigon instincts." Saito suddenly formed a wide grin.
"The glitch…?" Netto sighed in defeat.
"Come back from sightseeing Glitch City!"
"Glitch?" Haruka wondered.
"Ah yeah… It's a glitch on his personality which makes him turn into a joker from time to time… Insofar it seemed to be random but… Sometimes it seems to react to the environment and activate on its own." Yuuichirou explained.
"So! Netto – ku~n! Do you think we'll find a golden Koiking?"
"That was in the anime back when the OS… Kojirou fell for that scam which sounds like something Bubble Man would do…"
"Excellent, otouto – chan!"
"Earth, swallow me whole…"
"Speaking of which… Reminds me of an old movie I saw the other day on the TV… I think it was about some miner city named "No Name City" and there was a reverend trying to drive people away from sin… He then went to an arena where a bull and a bear would fight… And said something about the Lord making the earth split open and swallow the bull… And the ground collapsed because there was a mining tunnel underneath the arena…" Haruka recalled with a giggle.
"Is that so? Sounds like something they'd do in the 70s or 80s… It must be quite old… We can look it up later…"
"I already did so! It's named "Paint Your Wagon" and it's an adaptation of a musical… It's from the year '69…" Saito looked up.
"My, my. The year '69… Before we were born…"
"Almost a decade before, indeed." Haruka giggled.
"Oh yeah! By the way! Netto – kun! Did you hire a Lizardon to roast the yakisoba?"
"Hah, hah. How original. Saito – niisan." Netto rolled his eyes.
"It might be hidden under the frying board and vomiting a "Flamethrower" at it to heat it up! And to blow things up!"
"Blow things up?"
"… "It's a "Water Gun" & "100.000 Volts" combo… Once the water is affected by the electricity, it separates, becoming H2 and O. And with the "Flamethrower"… EVERYBODY DUCK!"…" The PET played a video.
"Ah… Yeah… PKMN Movie 2 "Mirage Pokémon: Lugia's Explosive Birth"… When Satoshi & co. try to rescue "Fire" from the Collector's HQ… There was an actual reason why the cage exploded…"
"Indeed, my cute otaku otouto – chan!"
"Please! Stop it! It's embarrassing!" Netto was deep red by now.
"My, my. Netto. You've still got a long way to come!" Haruka giggled.
"Don't worry, Haruka. It's good to see they get along."
23:13 PM (japan Time)…
"… OK, then… Kept ya waitin', eh? Heh. I'm now gonna check out if ya indeed are as tough as they or not… It's fun to tame prideful guys like ya… Ya didn't see it coming, eh? Heh, heh."
Eisei (having changed into black leather trousers and having a metallic ring over his navel from which some black leather bands emerged backwards) stepped into a wooden room somewhere which was poorly lit given how there only were candles placed inside of plastic bowls to pick up the wax: the room had no windows either.
"Hmmm… Good body, yeah… It takes a guy to fully appreciate another guy's body…"
There was someone standing in the midst of the room: they were a guy who could be a bit taller than Eisei but they had a black cloth bag covering the head so his identity was unknown for now: he had a thick leather collar surrounding his neck and a chain emerged backwards from it.
His upper body was tied by rope in a "turtle shell" formation and his arms lifted over his head and had two black metallic armlets with 3 padlocks keeping them tight: a hook was attached to them and its chain passed through a pulley to then end up in the floor secured and tightened by a metallic nail.
The guy's nipples had metallic clothes pegs on them with a small weight on the lower end of each one pulling them downwards: a small string tied them together and formed a knot from which a shorter string with a small metallic ring attached as its end.
Four egg-shaped dildo were strapped with cello just above and below each cloth peg.
His balls were tightly gripped by four leather bands spreading for a circle on the base of his cock: a total of 16 clothes pegs were gripped to them and they all had a weight pulling them downwards.
The cock had a urethra vibrator inserted into it and properly secured with 4 bands connecting with the circle on the base of the cock.
His ass had a string of anal beads stuffed on it and the ring to pull them out was clearly visible.
Eisei approached him from behind and drew his own hardened cock.
"Here it comes!"
He violently pushed it inside and the prisoner moved forward due to the impulse but couldn't move much: his legs were spread by an iron bar attached to two metallic pieces set on his ankles: and each end of the bar was tied to a heavy steel ball: each one read "30 KG" on them so they were quite heavy: Eisei gripped the prisoner's waist and began to move his cock: he licked his own lips and then drew a remote: he activated the nipple vibrators and the prisoner shuddered: Eisei didn't give him a break and turned on the urethra vibrator: the prisoner began to convulse but he merely kept on raping his ass.
"Heh! It must be starting to feel good, eh? Then succumb to it and become my slave… Forever, that is… This is the Infinite Naraku… You're already dead. No – one will miss you. No – one will come rescue you. You're just meat to be used. I don't care if you go mad or break down… You're just a sex slave… My sex slave… I choose you…" He whispered.
The prisoner began to struggle but didn't get anywhere and soon ran out of forces: Eisei chuckled aloud and kept on pumping in and out of the prisoner's ass.
"Yeah… I'll make your ass get used to cocks! Like mine… And I'm going to be intense… I don't care how long it takes for you to succumb to me… That's the fun, too… To see your victim desperately struggling over and over again while trying to defend their pride… I know what it means, man. I was like you, time ago. But now I've realized that being in control is far more exciting. Heh. Bad luck, man. Regret being born with such looks and body. Maybe you'd been born a girl then I'd ignored you. But I like horny guys like you. They drive me mad… I'm a leech… I'm going to slowly and carefully suck out your blood and life energy… Like a Metroid, even. But slower… And subtler…" He chuckled.
He suddenly began to pull some of the clothes pegs on the prisoner's balls downwards to inflict pain to them: the prisoner shuddered but couldn't move from that position to begin with: Eisei then made his hands travel along the body's length and reached the nipples: he placed his right index finger in the central ring and began to pull: the prisoner couldn't stop shuddering and Eisei's grin turned wider.
"Yeah… This pain that invades the whole of your body… Pain… Agony… Suffering… But those are the beginning… Soon enough… They yield way to an excellent feeling… It makes you feel good… Very good, actually enough… And eventually… You want more of it… But I'll stop mid-way and deny you of it… Thus giving you a pain like none other… Denial play is useful to slowly shatter your pride… You'll try to play prideful and all but the body will want more of it… It'll drive you mad… So you'll swallow your pride and BEG to me to give you more of it… But I might not. So the body will continue ravaging… And then you will BEG to me… FOR REAL… And forget about the pride… Cling into that feeling… Cry, moan, beg… For me to give you more of it…" He whispered next.
The prisoner seemed to shudder more than before and Eisei took out his cock and stepped back while doing nothing more: the prisoner began to agitate his body and Eisei kept on doing nothing: he eventually lowered the head and Eisei snickered as he walked up to his head and gripped his jaw with the right hand.
"See? I knew it. You're still clinging to a small piece of your so-called "pride" but… It won't save you. It won't help you. It won't change anything. It'll only bring more pain to yourself. But if that's what you want then go ahead, by all means."
The prisoner negated with the head and Eisei chuckled as he suddenly stuffed his cock back into the widened ass: he pulled the chain of the collar and drew the prisoner towards him: he pulled the nipples' weights and the prisoner began to shudder and agitate again: Eisei drew a cock-shaped dildo from his left pocket and turned it on: he began to rub it against the prisoner's hardened cock and the vibrations seemed to make the prisoner go mad from the sensation.
"You want so bad to cum yet you can't. You're not allowed to. The slave is only a tool to bring pleasure to the master! You must be tamed and disciplined… So that you won't try to struggle when the master's "clients" begin having fun fucking you… And that makes them get in the mood to make business with the master… That's why we're coveted… We're the tools some need to convince others to do their bidding… Or to do something that benefits them… In exchange… They allow them access to you and they can continue to have fun… It's enough to convince them to sign a document to lend the master 5 billion Z…"
The prisoner seemed to feel an increasing fear and Eisei noticed it as he then used the dildo to tease the right nipple: he grabbed the balls' left side pegs and began to pull them.
"Yeah… And that was for a year and a half… And it was thrilling. So I then decided to become the master and use my own experiences as basis to know how to tame others… Once you know what the tamed guy feels like then you can properly exploit them… Yeah… Like now… But I'll tell ya something to make you feel "at ease"… There'll soon be some more. Some more that will undergo this as well… And when they want to have fun then… They'll use you. Or maybe you'll use them. Because I'm going to stuff all of you in the same cell… And it'll be fun to see if one of you betrays the others to escape from the "suffering" and becomes a new master… In here… You soon forget about "friendship" and "comradeship"… Basic primal instincts awaken… And you seek to save your own hide… You don't care about the others. You're more important than them…" Eisei laughed as he explained.
He was now teasing the underside of the prisoner's balls with the dildo and snickering at seeing how the prisoner began to struggle again and tried to deny what Eisei was saying by energetically shaking the head left to right and right to left: Eisei snickered again.
"It's too early to deny. Time will tell! We'll see if you're strong enough to overcome your primal survival instincts… Here: this is what it means to be filled up!"
Eisei released and filled the prisoner's ass with his release: he chuckled under his breath as he pulled out his cock and inserted the dildo he'd been using: he suddenly let go of the chain keeping the prisoner standing and he collapsed face-down into the floor: Eisei then gripped the forearms' chain and dragged the guy some centimeters forward: he hardened his cock and placed it inches away from the prisoner's nose.
"Remember this smell. It means that you're to suck it up. You're only useful to be fucked and to suck up cocks. Which is why I placed that ring keeping your mouth open and making you be unable to articulate a single word: it's for you to suck up cocks. And to impede you from pulling desperate tricks."
The prisoner seemingly grumbled under his breath but Eisei snickered.
"Here: let's begin your blowjob training!"
He lifted a bit of the bad to expose the mouth: a metallic ring set in the center of a tight black leather band could be seen keeping his mouth open and Eisei simply stuffed it inside while gripping the prisoner's head from behind with both hands: he began to move his head forward and back at a quick pace to force the prisoner to suck his cock: Eisei drew a new remote and suddenly turned the ass dildo to "MAX" speed: the prisoner began to agitate more and his cock began to swing left and right but Eisei merely forced him to continue to suck on his cock.
"Yeah… Like this…! You must learn the flavor of a cock! They'll soon began to stuff them into your mouth by turns: once you finish with one then next one will come! And you'll have to move fast to properly please them else they'll punish you… Maybe 100 whipping strikes will do… Or maybe worse punishments… I've experienced a great variety of them… And I'll use them on you too… If you try any desperate tricks or plots… All of which will inevitably fail. No – one will hear you even if you could speak. We're a long distance away from any inhabited place…"
Eisei suddenly released and filled the prisoner's mouth with his release: he then lowered the bag and used the right foot to turn the prisoner face-up: he placed his right foot over the balls next and the prisoner seemed to feel the pain: Eisei loomed closer and chuckled.
"Yeah… Hate me… Your hatred will make your stronger… Tap into the "Dark Side"… And become the center of the Universe… Then you'll be one of us, of the "Growth"… The combat branch of the larger and more powerful "Samar"… You'd do well for a neophyte…" He tried to tempt the prisoner.
The prisoner merely negated with the head and Eisei laughed aloud in a psychotic tone of voice.
"Useless struggle and pride! I laugh at them! What can you actually do in this state to begin with? Whatever. I'll put you to nap… Look forward to tomorrow evening… When a new guy joins you… Let's see what'll happen: will you fuck the guy or will the guy fuck you? Heh, heh!"
He suddenly pulled out the urethra vibrator and the prisoner released before fainting: he laughed aloud and his voice echoed inside of the wooden room…
