Chapter 3: Nano Thunder

Tequila's POV

"You're joking, right?" i asked. The revelation had shocked me beyond measure. THIS was the former leader of the Terralon Rogues?!

"She isn't." Karin answered. "The name's Karin Stewart, XQ Main Division agent 558."

"558?"

"Someone who joined XQ ahead of me took my usual number 186."

"Dimension-wise she's gotta be from the same one as you, since the Main Division has multiple Home Dimension Identifier Codes to enable them to have multiple agents using the same number."

"She is. Jessie Blauvelt took 186, whereas the girl she joined with, Tearra, shifted to the Rainbow Angels in 2039 keeping her old Main Division number 115."

"Do they allow multiple girls using the same number?" i asked.

"Yup. The ZJ numbers, anyway, for there's only nine Deltas. Bond's a 4-Omega, with Amethyst as the Alpha."

"Explains the Rainbow Omega Cannon her Relic Raider has." Anise stated. "Only the Alpha of a 4-Omega Soul Bond can access it."

"Got any plans for Lester and Almo?" i asked.

Lester's POV

"Meyers, you better have a good reason for me to be here." i grumbled into a hidden communicator.

"Look, i'm not the mastermind of this one Colonel." the voice of Tact Meyers said in response. Groaning, i proceeded to move towards the restaurant where i heard someone with a romantic interest in me was waiting.

I was even more suspicious of Tact when i saw that the person who was waiting for me was Almo.

She was in this really cute strapless dress, i'll admit that much. Went quite well with her purple hair, which was styled differently. Her dress went to the floor, which concealed what shoes she was in, but i assumed they were high heels as she was now up to my nose in height whereas normally she was only to the top of my ribcage.

"Did Tact tell you to wait here for me?" i asked her.

"No. Someone named Karin Stewart did; she overheard two of the Angels talking about a Soul Bond that was initially supposed to be activated three and a half years ago."

"Oh, really? Between who?"

"You and me. Lester, i've had a crush on you for so long but you never noticed."

"Really?!"

"Yeah."

"One question, though. Which two Angels was it?"

"Anise and Tequila."

Natsume's POV

"Angels, we got trouble near Pico. It's another of their fleets, this time Conway's in command. Fortunately for us, Jace confirmed it's an android version like before."

"Are the defensive satellites activated?" Nano asked.

"We don't know for sure; we'll have to get there to find out."

"Good point." That was when we entered Chrono Drive, the Elsoir and Solaris GT following close behind. Emerging near Pico, we saw the fleet was in pretty bad shape, for they had been confronted by someone else's fleet ahead of us and were aided by the defensive satellites.

One ship of the fleet that confronted Conway's ahead of us then released a flurry of pink energy butterflies, which latched onto the flagship of Conway's fleet. The resulting explosion completely obliterated the flagship.

"Natsume," Kazuya started, "that weapon used on Conway's fleet's flagship looked extremely similar to your Hyper Weapon."

"That'll be 'cause Zephyr helped install it onto my flagship." a male voice said. Opening a transmission with the ship in question i was totally surprised by who the flagship's pilot was.

"Genievres?!" i exclaimed.

"So you did join the Angels, Natsume." Genievres Hatchet, my former caretaker, said. "Zephyr suggested it while she installed a supercharged version of Papillon Chaser's Zephyrus Rampage Hyper Weapon onto my flagship. Not the first spacecraft of any kind she installed it on, for 'Unit Z' has one she installed on it as well."

"Unit Z's now known as 'Omega Falcon'. Jace Davies is its pilot."

"Jace? You mean the Zelixena-born Angel sent to the team by Hollie?"

"That'd be me." a male voice said from my left. "Thanks for dealing with Conway's fleet ahead of us Genievres."

"My fleet's been chasing them for a good three hours, their fleet was larger initially but after five prior encounters en route to Pico we weakened them to what was left when you guys got here. Two of my buddies and i figured we'd rather stay on your side since we allowed Natsume to join you."

"Good decision, especially as we're now part of the group whose base is in Zelixena." Kazuya said. "Amethyst, the girl who created the city Jace is from, pitched the idea and Empress Shiva allowed it."

"Who's Amethyst?" Genievres asked.

"She's another multiverse's version of Anise." i answered. "Zephyr's my variant from the same multiverse. Though XQ is based in GX, Amethyst and Zephyr are both from OZ."

"I take it XQ allows people from other multiverses to join, since they have agents from their home multiverse of GX as well as OZ and ZVE."

"Oh they do." Jace said. "Among other multiverses they have agents from are five from RTQ, where a Jet-led group of Rainbow Angels were at when the QZX versions of Conway and his two main buddies Harley and Ursula tried executing THAT plot. It was a mistake by Harley that caused their downfall."

"I take it he tried interfering with THAT Soul Bond trigger. But who are the Rainbow Angels?"

"It's Jet's Bond group. Amethyst is the group's Alpha, while Zephyr is one of their nine Deltas."

"So it's a 4-Omega then. Does Amethyst have the Rainbow Omega Cannon?"

"She does, i saw the button that enables it to fire at her enemies during a tour of the Solaris GT prior to the confrontation with Harley's fleet. THAT Harley was an android, as was the Conway on the flagship of that fleet you dealt with. I can sense power levels, that's how i knew both were androids since they didn't have power levels. The ability to sense power levels is one ability i mastered before Hollie assigned me here."

"Good thing you have that ability, 'cause i have a feeling Magiic's in trouble from a fleet commanded by an android version of Ursula."

"Since we've dealt with Harley, and you took out Conway for us, chances of Ursula leading the next one are pretty high." Jace said. "Let's just hope they don't have more than one android version of each of them, 'cause if there's multiple of each one Seldar might be in a dire predicament."

"Good point."

Tequila's POV

"Well, seems like someone familiar with Natsume got that fleet ahead of us Anise." i said as Anise and i were in my room again. Here, Anise had returned to her original outfit, but instead of the sandals she wore when she originally boarded the Luxiole she was in some very extreme stiletto pumps. This time i kept the top of my dress and Anise's top over our breasts in case someone suddenly walked in on us.

Almost as soon as i thought that the door opened, with Lester and Almo on the other side. Lester had his left arm around Almo, who had quite a blush on her face.

"So you two were talking about one of those Soul Bonds being between me and Almo, right?" Lester asked.

"I found out a couple nights ago when i was looking up something on my computer." Anise answered. "Tequila was the only one at the time who had hers active, though Tact said himself he'd wait until the war was over before activating his with Vanilla and i assume Kazuya's gonna wait a few years considering the age difference between him and Natsume. Not as big as the one between Jet and Zephyr, which is why her pull into the Rainbow Angels didn't activate for about seven years, Zephyr was eleven when she first met a then-nineteen Jet."

"How old is Kazuya?" Lester asked.

"Sixteen. Same as me and Jace." Anise responded.

"Jace turns seventeen in three days." i pointed out.

"Really?! That's two days before mine!" Anise exclaimed.

"Want to know something funny?" a female voice asked; Natsume had just walked up.

"What is it?" i asked, curious.

"You know how some things in one multiverse are different in another?" Natsume questioned. Anise and i both nodded. "Well, i may be the eldest of MY siblings, but Zephyr has an older sister whose birthday is the day between Jace and Anise."

"Man, it's a good thing Jace's is two days before mine and not the other way around."

"Why?"

"There was a major incident in Jet's homeworld on September 11."

"How major we talking about?"

"Try two hijacked planes crashing into the two tallest buildings in New York City, claiming thousands and completely destroying the entire World Trade Center."

"They took out all seven buildings on hitting only two of them?!"

"Well, the two they hit collapsed and their resulting debris nailed the other five. Not everyone in the buildings got out alive, hence the casualty toll in the thousands."

"Oh my!" Almo exclaimed. "How awful! So many innocent lives gone because of a few people!"

"I know. Oh, Almo, to make it easier for you to kiss Lester without risking him hurting his back - sure the XQ-granted infinite defense makes it impossible - i'd exclusively stick to high heels. You'd be much closer to him height-wise in them, too."

"Tequila has a good point there hon, you normally only reach the top of my ribcage." Lester said, making Almo blush with the same intensity Jace caused on Anise. "Besides, due to you reaching my nose when i learned about our Bond despite wearing that pretty strapless dress that reached the floor i deduced you were in heels."

"Yeah i was, Karin gave me them specifically for that purpose."

"Karin? Who's that?"

"She's a Main Division girl who happens to be the former leader of a special iteration of the group dubbed the Terralon Rogues. A girl who joined XQ ahead of her took her normal number. Also, as to why she gave Almo those heels she had on with that dress, XQ policy dictates any dress must be worn with heels. Some can be worn with flat shoes, but the dress and desired shoes must be deemed compatible with each other in order to do so."

"I just hope we don't have to resort to needing help from Amethyst in getting Almo a few more pairs of heels, 'cause most of the pairs her store sells are a bit... up there in terms of instep height."
