Len awoke to the terrible stench of napalm assaulting his bare nostrils. He screamed in brutal agony and leapt out of the bed, flailing his arms in sheer madness driven by the unforgiving smell.

"Oh gods Len, stop it," a familiar voice spat.

Len abruptly halted his outburst and ominously turned to face his adversary.

"What the hell are you doing in my room, Rin?!"

Rin sat before him cross-legged on an armchair with her head resting against her arms. She was clad in a bulky blue jumpsuit zipped right up to her neck, accompanied by knee-high boots and gloves that were obviously too large for her hands.

"I'm waking you up," she muttered dryly. "It's time for training."

Len glared at his sister. "Are you really so enthusiastic about this?! And what's with your clothing? You look ridiculous!"

"And so do you," Rin scoffed. "Seriously, we have to train for the war, or else we're gonna get slaughtered."

"By who?"

"By me!" exclaimed Miku, who suddenly appeared in the doorway. She was dressed in military uniform, decorated with innumberable medals upon her chest that barely represented any awards that were significant enough to even have medals crafted in their honour. Her eyes were also hidden by the large helmet atop her head.

"What?!" Len screamed. "Not you too! I thought you hated this game!"

"I think I like it now," Miku chuckled, brandishing her rocket launcher. "Because I heard that in the war, there would be rewards."

"Rewards?" Len echoed.

"Yeah. Maybe I can get free wi-fi as a reward! Oh gosh! Those fans must be so depressed that I am not replying to their messages!"

Miku laughed vehemently before exiting, leaving Len to stare at Rin in dumbfoundment.

"What?" Rin asked.

"Dargh, nothing," Len grumbled. "Now get out of my room!"

"I'm gonna chop down your door with my fire axe if you don't get to the breakfast table in two minutes," Rin threatened, grinning devilishly.

"Yeah, like I give a heck," Len muttered as Rin pranced out.

Meanwhile, Luka and Gumi were standing on the roof of the fortress, embracing the rising sun. Luka was neatly dressed in a well-tailored suit that she happened to find it the closet. To impress herself even further, she went through great pains to steal a fedora and a pair of shades from a nearby base belonging to some anonymous team. Gumi could at last wear her goggles in a proper manner to actually make them useful. To complete her look, she was in a pair of blue overalls complete with a yellow hard hat.

"This new world," Luka muttered, beholding the majestic sun as it peeked its head from beyond the horizon. "It intrigues me."

She turned to Gumi, adjusting her shades as she did so just to make herself look more dramatic. "I have knowledge that you are an expert on this world."

Gumi raised her goggles so that she could behold Luka with greater clarity. "I am not very thorough with the information, but I am confident I know enough to provide you with whatever information you seek of this world."

Luka squatted and brought her face drastically close to Gumi's. With an overly dramatic gesture, she removed her shades so that she could stare directly into the engineer's green eyes. "Tell me."

"Okay. But first, can you stop breathing so heavily onto my face?"

Luka scowled and stood up. "For god's sake, you just broke the dramatic atmosphere."

"Well sorry about that! It's not very comfortable to speak to someone with their face a millimetre away from mine."

"Okay, whatever," Luka scoffed. "I'm going to hunt for my breakfast now. Bye."

"What?!" Gumi yelled. "I thought you just asked me you wanted to know more about TF2!"

"But I have just decided that I'd rather discover it for myself!" Luka proclaimed, striking another overly dramatic pose. "Now, go join the others in the base while I fish by the river!"

And with that, Luka vanished into thin air, leaving Gumi to roll her eyes.

Meanwhile, in the sickbay of the base, Kaito was attending to a hopelessly drunk Meiko while Gakupo was watching for no apparent reason.

"Gakupo, what are you even doing here?" Kaito asked.

"Erm, watching you?" Gakupo replied. "And erm, is Meiko drunk?"

"Yeah," Kaito said dryly. "It's obvious, isn't it?"

"So... she's asleep?"

"Erm, yeah?!"

"So... we're alone?"

Kaito scanned the room before turning back to Gakupo. "Erm, seems like it."

"So... just the two of us?"

"Erm, I guess you could say that."

"And erm, okay."

"Yeah."

"..."

"..."

"OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE BOTH OF YOU?!" Meiko suddenly cried, waking up, jolting Kaito and Gakupo. "This is a perfect time for some yaoi! Are you two dumb or what?! I think people are getting bored just from reading this!"

And then she abruptly went back to being drunk.

Kaito glowered at Gakupo. "I'm warning you, if you continue remaining in the sickbay for no apparent reason, I'm going to shove this bonesaw into your left eye socket."

"Erm," Gakupo muttered nervously, "okay."

"Now get the hell out."

A long dining table sat smack in the middle of the lounge with breakfast arranged atop in the most chaotic and revolting manner ever to assault human eyes. It was apparent that Miku had ordered breakfast from her iPhone from some anonymous breakfast company despite having an awfully poor signal. This was mostly because Luka had informed her that the breakfast delivered was extremely beneficial to their health as it was prepared with organic materials. It was also due to the fact that everyone was too lazy to even cook breakfast for themselves.

Rin and Miku were already seated beside each other, where Rin had to tolerate Miku's rambling on obtaining free wi-fi. Len joined them fortunately in exactly one minute and fifty-nine seconds, and he was thankful that Rin had appeared to have forgetten about destroying his bedroom door. He sat opposite the both of them and immediately began to devour a plate of freshly made pancakes.

"I can't wait to get the free wi-fi!" Miku continued for the 3278th time. "I need to watch the next episode of K, like now!"

"You're watching it for all the wrong reasons," Rin muttered, who stabbed a fork into her hashbrowns.

Miku scowled at Rin. "At least I don't like a game for a wrong bloody reason! I mean seriously! Why the hell do you like war, you sadistic little - "

"Oi!" Len spat. "Eat your breakfast."

"Yeah, you heard the man," Rin laughed.

Miku growled and proceeded to destroy a waffle while Gumi suddenly materialised at the back of the room. Len peered at her suspiciously.

"Let me guess, you're Luka disguised as Gumi," Len scoffed.

"No, that was a teleporter I built," Gumi answered without much interest. "Luka's off hunting her breakfast."

Rin raised an eyebrow at the statement. "Who does she think she is? Eishirou Sugata? Don't get me wrong, I respect that guy for being awesome. But seriously, Luka's taken her obsession a little too far."

"Pfft. Look who's talking," Miku scoffed. "Sadist."

"Shouldn't you be ashamed of your gay porn fetish as well?" Len spat.

Miku glared at him. "K is not bloody yaoi hentai!"

"Everybody, chill the hell out," a silky voice suddenly said. Everyone turned to see Gakupo striding into the room, and they were surprised that he had not changed into the uniform he was supposed to be wearing.

"Where the hell is your uniform?" Miku snarled. "You're going to destroy my chances of obtaining free wi-fi!"

"Stop it with the free wi-fi," Rin said irritatedly. "We don't even know what the reward is!"

Suddenly, Luka appeared, standing proudly atop the dining table with the breakfast crushed beneath her designer shoes.

"And damn it Luka, stop doing that!" Rin cried.

"Everyone, it is officially time to begin your training!" Luka exclaimed, ignoring Rin. "I want you to be at your respective destinations in exactly five minutes!"

"What?!" Len screamed. "Where the hell are we even supposed to go to?!"

Luka smirked and proclaimed, "You all shall be informed by the notice board that I constructed conveninently outside our base. It contains all the details you shall need! Now, go!"

No one moved an inch. Luka stared back at them, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Seriously, if you all don't move, I'm gonna destroy this base and you'll have to spend the night on grass."

"Are you serious?" Len asked.

Luka glared at him and snatched the rocket launcher from Miku. She aimed it at a wall and simply blew it apart without a single thought of the expenses involved. Everyone just stared at her in utter shock.

"You're crazy!" Gakupo screamed.

"And I will continue being crazy if you don't start training!" Luka snarled. "Go! Now!"

They went. With much reluctance, undoubtedly.

Eishirou Sugata is this character from Sora No Otoshimono. He did have a mention back in the previous chapter too. AND HE IS AWESOME. Lives in a tent, hunts animals for his meals and most importantly, HE HAS AWESOME SPECTACLES.

And I apologise for the wrecked personalities. It's just my view of how they actually are.
