Inside Principal Minami's office, General Grievous looked at Rin who was smiling.
"General, I can't believe we're part of the CIS!" she happily said.
"Yeah, being part of the CIS is, like, the most coolest thing ever! To spend time with my favorite CIS General," Nico said.
Grievous looked embarrassed. "Favorite General?" he asked.
"BUT YOU HAVEN'T EVEN MET THE OTHER CIS GENERALS YET!" Super's Battle whined.
"I know. But so far, Grievous is my favorite," Nico said, with her hands on her hips.
"He's mine too!" Maki quickly yelled.
"Ooh, Maki's concerned for someone," Nozomi teased.
"NOZOMI! STOP!" Maki yelled, turning red. She quickly glanced away from Nozomi. "Grievous is just a...General! A General! I'm just worried about his safety from the evil Republic!"
"Uh-huh," Nozomi said, with her hands behind her back.
"GRRRRR!" Maki groaned.
"Can someone help me up?" Grievous asked.
Nico glanced down at Grievous. "Sure thing, Grievous-san!" She turned to the others. "Rin, Hanayo, Eli, get him up!"
"Yes, Nico-senpai!" Hanayo quickly responded, scared.
"You don't have to boss us around, you know!" Eli pointed out.
"Well, as the leader Muse, I have to command everyone," Nico bragged.
Honoka growled with frustration. Umi looked at Honoka.
"Honoka, what's wrong?" Umi asked.
"Nico..." Honoka responded.
"What?" Nico asked innocently.
"GRRRRRR..." Honoka growled.
Rin, Hanayo, and Eli helped Grievous off of the floor. The heroic General stood up tall as Eli patted his shoulder.
"Feeling better?" she asked.
"A little bit," Grievous responded. "Just have to wipe this battle damage off my chest and I'll be fine."
"I'll wipe it off!" Nico said.
Just as Nico was about to walk over to Grievous, Principal Minami stopped her.
"Nico, not right now." She then faced Muse. "All of you, except Eli, will have detention for skipping class!"
"Detention?!" Muse yelled.
"But I didn't skip class!" Maki yelled, enraged.
"Neither did we," Hanayo added.
"Hanayo, Rin, you two are in trouble for trying to kill Grievous!" Principal Minami said. She then faced Maki. "And you're going to detention because you were fighting Nico!"
"Uh-huh. Serves you right!" Nico sneered.
"Don't forget you're going, too," Maki growled.
"WHAT?!" Nico jumped. She turned towards Principal Minami. "I can't go! Honkers dragged me out here!"
"WHAT? Nico!" Honoka yelled.
"She did drag us outside," Nozomi stated.
"Can't we just kill them instead of detention?" Super's Battle asked.
"SUPER'S BATTLE!" Grievous yelled. "None of that!"
"I personally would've left the mercy an' compassion behind, too, Gen'ral," Ricochet said.
"RIC!" Grievous screamed.
"I'm jokin'! I'm jokin'!" Ricochet said, chuckling. He then faced Eli who standing behind Grievous. "But Eli does look hot, though!"
"WHAT?" Eli gasped.
"WHAT?!" Nozomi growled.
"So now you're jealous. HA!" Maki told Nozomi.
"Jealous? I'm just worried for Elichi's safety," Nozomi quickly said.
"Uh-huh," Maki said.
Eli faced Ricochet, who smiled. "Um...thanks..." she blushed.
Grievous was most surprised. "Umm...Ric?"
"What, Gen'ral?" Ricochet asked.
"Why did you call Eli hot?" Grievous asked.
"Gen'ral, have you been lookin' at Eli?" Ricochet asked.
"I think he's seen enough of Eli today," Nozomi quickly said, before dragging Eli away from Grievous and Ricochet.
Grievous stood there and then scratched his head. "What just happened?"
"OH, COME ON, GRIEVOUS!" Super's Battle screamed. "BOY! ARE YOU THAT STUPID?!"
"Super's Battle, Grievous isn't stupid!" STAP Battle stated.
"Only when come to love," OOM-1 said.
Nico looked sad. She then faced Grievous. "General Grievous-san, please convince Principal Minami to not give me detention!"
"Huh? NICO!" Umi yelled.
"What?!" Nico asked. "I'm so not going to detention!"
"You're just trying to save your own skin!" Honoka explained.
"Well, I didn't drag us out there to meet Grievous, did I?" Nico retorted.
"Enough of this!" Principal Minami yelled. "Even if Honoka dragged you out there, that doesn't excuse you for following her bad actions!"
"Bad actions?!" Honoka questioned.
"HEH-HEH!" Nico laughed.
"All of you! Back to class! Except Kotori," Principal Minami said.
"Me? Why can't I go back to class?" Kotori asked.
Her mother glared at her. "Cause you're in trouble, that's why," she said.
Kotori gulped. Umi glanced at Kotori as she was walking out.
"Good luck, Kotori," Umi said leaving.
"UMI!?" Kotori yelled.
Muse exited the office. Grievous faced Principal Minami while putting his hands behind his back.
"What do you want us to do, Principal Minami?" Grievous asked.
"You guys leave too. I'm going to punish my daughter!" Principal Minami said, glaring at her daughter.
"Okay," Grievous said. "But please go easy on her."
"GO EASY ON HER?! GRIEVOUS, ARE YOU STUPID?!" Super's Battle asked.
"Mercy an' compassion won't help her now," Ricochet said.
"Mr. Ricochet!" Droop-a-Long growled.
"It's the truth, Droop!"
"Mom, can you go soft of me for my punishment?" Kotori asked.
"NO!" her mother yelled. She looked over at Grievous. "I'm sorry, Grievous, but I can't go do that for you."
"Okay..." Grievous responded, removing his hands from behind his back. He and the Separatists walked out of the door.
When they left, Principal Minami got up from her chair and walked over to Kotori. Kotori gulped.
"Mom, what are you going to do to me?" Kotori asked, scared.
"You're going to get it!" Principal Minami yelled.
"NO! Please don't give me a...a..." Kotori said.
Her mother grabbed her daughter and turned her around.
"Not a spanking!" Kotori screamed.
"Kotori, I'm disappointed in you. You lied about your homework!" her mother explained.
"I'm sorry I lied. Please don't pop me!" Kotori whined.
"I'm sorry though, but I'm going to have to beat you here and now!" Principal Minami said raising her hand in the air.
Grievous and the rest of the Confederacy stood outside the office.
"Ricochet was flirting with Eli?!" Super's Battle said. "AHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHH! I don't like any of these chicks here."
"Neither do I. They're kinda hot and kinda weird," STAP Battle said.
Just then the Confederacy heard screaming from the office and slaps. Grievous's eyes widened.
"What's going on in there?!" Grievous demanded.
"I think someone's getting a spanking!" Super's Battle said.
"I think we should stop it!" TV-94 said.
"Hold on," Grievous said, walking over to the door.
The Kaleesh cyborg opened the door. He then saw Kotori getting spanked by her mother. Grievous's eyes widened.
"Principal Minami!" Grievous screamed.
Principal Minami saw Grievous and stopped spanking Kotori. "General Grievous!"
"I didn't know you were spanking Kotori!" Grievous yelled. "Why are you doing this?!"
"Because she deserves this!" Principal Minami said as she was getting ready to continue.
Kotori was crying. Grievous was worried.
"Look, Principal...I know Kotori was lying but...if you spank her here, other kids will hear the beating," Grievous explained.
Principal Minami paused. "You're right. And then I might get in trouble for spanking people in school."
"Indeed," Grievous said, putting his hands behind his back again.
Principal Minami sighed. She then released Kotori from her hand and walked over to Grievous. "Thank you Grievous for stopping me. Mercy and compassion does work."
"You're welcome. And I never said you couldn't punish Kotori. I was just saying not here at the school. Okay?" Grievous explained.
"Understood, General," Principal Minami said, smiling at Grievous. "You're actually kinda cool as a General."
"Thanks..." Grievous responded.
Grievous removed his hands from behind his backs and then walked out of the office. Principal Minami faced her daughter.
"Just because you're not getting it here, doesn't mean you're not getting at home. I'm giving you 50 lashes when we get home!" she snapped.
"But Mom..." Kotori whined.
"No buts! Back to class, young lady!" Principal Minami scolded.
"Yes, mom," Kotori sadly said.
Kotori slowly walked out of her mothers office. The Confederacy saw Kotori going back to class. Grievous looked at Kotori, who looked very sad.
"Hmmmm," Grievous said, rubbing his chin.
"Is there something wrong, General?" TV-94 asked.
"No. Nothing TV-94," Grievous said, putting his down.
"Anyway, what about the Republic?" Droop-a-Long asked.
"We have to deal with them somehow and go back to space," Grievous said.
"With what?" TV-94 asked.
"With the help of our new allies?" Super's Battle asked.
"We might have to call Sparky and see how he is doing," Grievous suggested.
"As you wish, General," TV-94 responded.
"But I want to see Eli some more!" Ricochet whined.
"Mr. Ricochet, Melissa will be mad about this!" Droop-a-Long growled.
"But like I said before, Droop, Melissa's at Fondor. Far away from Earth," Ricochet explained.
"Principal Minami's hot," OOM-1 said.
"Why are you so obsessed with her OOM-1?" Grievous asked.
"Like I said, she's hot!" OOM-1 responded.
"Ugh," Grievous groaned.
Inside the classroom, Kotori came back to the room. The teacher, who was a female turned around.
"Ms. Minami, you're late!" the female teacher scolded.
"I was at the Principal's," Kotori answered, her voice tired.
"Okay. It's almost time for lunch, so you're going to have to go get the work later!" the teacher said.
"Yes ma'am," Kotori said sitting down.
Honoka looked at Kotori who was wincing every time she sat down. "Kotori, what happened?" Honoka whispered.
"Nothing, Honoka-chan," Kotori whispered back.
"We'll discuss it at lunch," Honoka whispered back.
Just then, the bell rang. "All right, everyone go to lunch."
Everyone left the classroom.
Inside the lunch detention room, Muse was angry. Eli was supervising Muse as the detention teacher.
"GRRR! I can't believe I'm in detention!" Nico whined.
"Because of you, I'm in detention!" Maki groaned.
"WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU BLAME ME?!" Nico yelled.
"Girls, stop fighting!" Rin shouted. "I hate detention!"
"I've never gottten detention!" Honoka said.
"I never got it either," Umi agreed.
"Me too," Hanayo agreed. "This is my first time." She glared at her best friend. "Thanks a lot, Rin!"
"Kayo-chin, I'm sorry," Rin said, upset.
"Apology not accepted," Hanayo responded, folding her arms and turning away from her.
"Aww..." Rin responded.
Kotori still looked sad. She was thinking about what her mom said about getting beat at home. Honoka glared at Kotori.
"Kotori, what happened at your mom's office?" Honoka asked.
"I told you, nothing..." Kotori responded.
"Kotori! TELL ME!" Honoka yelled.
"Nobody cares about the dumb one who didn't do their homework since you were working late!" Nico explained.
"Nico, SHUT UP!" Kotori yelled. "I didn't do my homework because...because I was playing Mario!"
"Yeah. Mario's more important than homework," Nozomi said.
"Nozomi, why were you so protective of Eli earlier?" Maki asked.
"I was just concerned for General Grievous, that's all!" Nozomi responded.
"Yeah, sure," Maki responded.
"Indeed. I'm very disappointed in you Nozomi. You tried to grope Kotori in the principal's office!" Eli scolded.
"But, Elichi, I had to-" Nozomi started.
"No buts. I'm going to punish you later, Nozomi!" Eli scolded.
"But I don't want to get punished!" Nozomi whined.
"Wow, Nozomi's actually getting punished," Maki happily said.
"MAKI!" Nozomi yelled.
Nico looked sad. "I want to see Grievous!" she whined. "He's the coolest General ever!"
"The coolest? Like Super's Battle said, you haven't met the other Generals yet!" Maki shot back.
"W-W-W-Well, I-I-I find him c-c-cool..." Nico quickly said.
"Nico-senpai, why did you say that so fast?" Hanayo asked.
"N-N-N-N...Nico! Nico Nico Nii is just Grievous's friend," Nico quickly said. "Heh-heh."
"Nico, you sounded weird saying that," Maki responded.
"It's true! We're just friends!" Nico snapped.
"I think Nico-senpai has a crush on Grievous-san," Rin teased.
"CRUSH ON GRIEVOUS?!" Nico yelled. Her face was as red as Maki's hair. "Nico-Nico-Nii would never have a crush on Grievous!"
"Hmm.." Nozomi said.
"Nico, why are you as red as Maki's hair?" Honoka asked.
"Because it's hot in here, Honkers!" Nico yelled.
"But the AC is on," Umi responded.
"This sweater's making me hot! That's all!" Nico responded.
"Nico, do you want me to go max power on you?!" Nozomi asked.
"No-No-NO!" Nico shouted.
"I really don't want to see this," Maki grumbled.
"Then stop lying and tell the truth," Nozomi ordered.
"Okay, okay," Nico responded. "Grievous is...my..."
"My?" all of Muse asked.
"Friend..." Nico causally responded.
"Friend?" Umi asked. "You seem more concerned for him."
"She does!" Honoka said. "Nico, are you sure?"
"Yeah! I'm positive!" Nico responded.
"I still don't believe that," Maki said with her arms folded.
"GRRR! Shut up, princess!" Nico yelled.
"Hmmm...she could like Grievous," Rin told Hanayo. "Right, Kayo-chin?"
"W-W-What?" Hanayo asked. "Nico-senpai just respects Grievous-san as a friend!"
"Yeah. But she might like him more," Rin happily said.
Nico walked over to Rin and Hanayo. "I. Do. Not. Like. GRIEVOUS LIKE THAT!" Nico screamed.
"Yeah, right," Maki said. "Nico, you do have a crush on Grievous!"
"What?! The heroic General of the Confederacy's Droid Armies is just my friend!" Nico quickly said. "Friend."
"But you're blushing while saying this," Kotori explained.
"Well...you have a crush on Grievous, Honkers!" Nico quickly said.
Honoka was shocked and quickly turned red. "G-G-G-Grievous?! Grievous-san is just a friend of mine."
"Honoka, you're red," Umi stated.
"I'm red because...because my jacket's hot," Honoka said. "That's all".
"Yeah, you're using the Nico excuse," Rin happily said.
"RIN!" Honoka screamed.
Rin chuckled. "Well, you do like Grievous-san. Which part of his body do you like?"
"LIKE?!" Honoka jumped. "I just like Grievous as friend! FRIEND! NOTHING ELSE!"
"Nothing else about him, right?" Umi asked.
"Does anybody believe me?!" Honoka asked.
"Uh...no," Hanayo responded. "Grievous is cool, but-"
"But Kayo-chin likes him as well," Rin barged in.
Hanayo turned to Rin and turned red. "W-W-What? Grievous and I haven't even talked!"
"But why are you red, Kayo-chin?" Rin asked playfully.
"Because thinking about having a boyfriend, is just...weird!" Hanayo quickly responded.
"Okay, does everyone here like something about Grievous?" Maki asked.
Muse stared at Maki. Everyone quickly blushed.
"So you all like Grievous, right?" Maki asked, folding her arms.
"Well...what we mean is...ARGGHHHH! We all certain parts about Grievous okay?" Eli explained.
"Yeah. But do not have crushes on him!" Nico added.
"But Nico still likes Grievous-san," Rin teased.
"RIN! It's Honkers who has a full-out crush on Grievous!" Nico explained.
"WHAT?!" Honoka asked. "Oh Nico, stop it!"
"For real! Who has a crush on Grievous and who just likes certain parts of Grievous?!" Maki asked, angry.
"OK! I like a part of Grievous!" Nico quickly said. "Not a crush!"
"Umi! Kotori!" Maki screamed.
"I like a part of Grievous as well," Kotori explained. "But I don't have a crush."
Umi just blushed. Maki glared at Umi. "Umi..."
"What?!" Umi quickly jumped. "I have nothing to say!"
"UMI! SAY SOMETHING BEFORE I-" Honoka started.
Kotori covered up Honoka's mouth. She then faced Umi.
"Umi, go ahead and talk!" Kotori yelled.
"I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY!" Umi repeated loudly
Honoka threw Kotori to the ground. "THAT'S IT!" She marched over to Umi and then slapped her in the face.
"OWWW!" Umi screamed. "HONOKA!" She stood up and slapped Honoka back just as hard.
"OWWW!" Honoka screamed. "UMI!"
Just as Honoka and Umi were getting ready to get into a full out brawl, Maki walked over there stopped them.
"Honoka! UMI!" Maki screamed. "I'm telling the principal if you keep this up!"
"It's Honoka who needs to get in trouble! She won't stop bothering me!" Umi explained.
"I don't need to get into trouble! You're redder than everyone else right now!" Honoka growled.
"WHAT?!" Umi said, blushing.
"Umi, you are red," Maki pointed out.
"W-W-Well you see..." Umi said, blushing even more.
"What?" Eli asked.
Umi continued blushing and then just covered up her face.
"Umi, do you want me to tell your parents?" Eli asked.
"My parents? About what?!" Umi asked removing her arms from her face.
"About this crush on General Grievous," Eli explained.
"CRUSH ON GENERAL GRIEVOUS?!" Umi screamed, her face reddening even more. She didn't know what to do and everyone was looking at her. She just sank in her seat.
"Well, what about you, Hanayo and Rin?!" Maki asked.
"Me? I just like a part of Grievous-san! Kayo-chin's the one who has a full crush on him!" Rin cutely said.
Hanayo grew red and then glared at Rin. "RIN-CHAN! I DO NOT LIKE GRIEVOUS-SAN LIKE THAT!"
"Then why are you red, Kayo-chin?" Rin asked.
"RIN-CHAN!" Hanayo growled. She then turned away from Rin. "Don't talk to me!"
Maki glared at Hanayo. "HANAYO! Do you like Grievous-san or not?! ANSWER ME!"
Hanayo faced Maki. "Okay, okay," she said. "I like a part of Grievous."
"But I though you liked everything about Grievous-san?" Rin asked.
"Rin, if you don't shut up..." Hanayo threatened.
Rin gulped. She never seen Hanayo get this angry. "Yes, Kayo-chin."
"Anyway, that's all," Hanayo told Maki.
"Alright! ELI! NOZOMI!" Maki yelled.
"Me?" Eli asked blushing. "W-W-Well, I only like a part of Grievous-san that's all."
"That's all you better be liking!" Nozomi said.
"Huh? NOZOMI!" Eli growled.
"What? The only thing I like about Grievous-san is his legs!" Nozomi explained.
Maki then faced Honoka. "Honoka! What about you?!"
"W-W-Well, I kinda like a part of Grievous-san!" Honoka said blushing.
"Good to know. Now since we all know that, we can go back to detention!" Maki explained.
"Yes! I agree with Maki! I have to supervise you guys," Eli explained. "Do your homework while you're in here."
Muse then pulled out some homework. While they were doing it, Kotori still looked sad. Honoka glared at Kotori.
"KOTORI! What happened?!" Honoka asked.
"N-Nothing, Honoka-chan," Kotori responded.
"Then why are you still squirming a little?!" Honoka asked.
Kotori glanced down at her butt. It was still stinging from the spanking her mom gave her. "Nothing, Honoka. I'm just happy today!"
"Look, Kotori, you're not happy!" Honoka stated. "I know that for a fact!"
"Well-you see-" Kotori started.
Nico glanced at Kotori. "Kotori, did your mom spank your behind?!"
"W-W-W-Well...s-s-s-she..." Kotori stuttered.
"I knew it! Kotori got a whopping!" Nico shouted out.
Everyone in Muse gasped except Nico and Kotori. Maki faced Kotori.
"Wow, Kotori. I thought your parents grounded you," Maki said.
"Yeah. Kotori should get spanked more often!" Umi said.
Kotori glanced at Umi. "UMI! How dare you?!" she asked enraged.
"Personally, I just wish I wouldn't get spanked anymore," Rin said. "I always get into trouble."
"No wonder. I just can't wait until your parents get the call that you tried to kill Grievous-san!" Hanayo stated.
"WHAT?! Kayo-chin! How could you say that?!" Rin asked.
"You they're going to call your parents too, right?" Maki calmly said.
Hanayo gulped. "My mom would kill me!"
Inside a hallway of the school, Grievous was talking to Geonosis B1 battle droid Sparky on a hologram.
"Fine. I see if I can send a Sheathipede-class shuttle down here!" Sparky told Grievous.
"Good. I need to get back up there," Grievous responded.
"It might take awhile to break the Republic Blockade. Their forces are getting stronger," Sparky explained.
"Alright," Grievous responded.
Grievous turned off the hologram of Sparky and faced his droids.
"Well?" TV-94 asked.
"We have to wait for a shuttle to come down here," Grievous explained.
"How long's that gonna take?!" Ricochet whined.
"Probably like a couple of days," Super's Battle said.
"Anyway, I'm getting kinda hungry," Grievous said.
"OH, NOW YOU'RE HUNGRY!" Super's Battle yelled.
"Where are we going to eat?" TV-94 asked.
"Maybe we can ask our new allies once they served their detention," Grievous explained.
"As you wish, General," TV-94 responded. He then faced Ricochet. "YOU IDIOT! Stop complaining!"
"TV-94, shut up!" Ricochet yelled. "I can complain anytime I want to!"
"But Mr. Ricochet, complaining isn't good for ya," Droop-a-Long explained.
"I know that Deputy, but with Grievous I can complain!" Ricochet said.
Grievous glared at Ricochet. "Ric..."
"Okay, okay," Ricochet responded.
"Dinner sounds nice! Maybe we can get Principal Minami to come along with us!" OOM-1 said.
"Cause you want to flirt with her, right?" STAP Battle asked.
"Yup!" OOM-1 happily said.
"Kotori got a spanking! Kotori got a spanking!" Nico teased.
Kotori held her head in shame. "I did get a spanking. My mom was upset at me for lying about the homework. I wouldn't have been spanked if it wasn't for UMI!"
Umi glared at Kotori. "Kotori, you had to be punished! You can't just get away with punishment like that!"
"Yeah, Kotori!" Nico teased.
"Nico, shut up! If your parents found about the same thing, your behind would be spanked!" Kotori shot back.
"W-W-W-What?! Nico-Nico-Nii would never be spanked!" Nico explained.
"Then why are you so worried about getting in trouble?" Kotori retorted angrily.
"Because I would get into so much trouble with my mom! Though like I said, I'm too old be spanked!" Nico explained.
"Okay," Kotori grumbled.
"Anyway," Eli said. "Detention is almost over."
"Good," Hanayo said.
Nozomi faced Eli. "Elichi, please don't tell Principal Minami that we didn't do that much work!" she pleaded.
"Yeah! Don't!" Honoka begged.
"And why should I?" Eli asked.
"Because we're your friends and we're a group!" Rin explained.
"Fine, fine," Eli responded. "But only this once!"
The bell rang and detention was over. All of Muse walked out of the room. As they were walking, Honoka glared at Kotori.
"Kotori, why did you lie to me?!" Honoka asked.
"Honoka, not now!" Kotori responded.
"KOTORI! I NEED ANSWERS!" Honoka screamed.
"HONOKA, SHUT UP!" Kotori yelled back.
Kotori then walked away from Honoka and headed to class. Honoka growled. I will break Kotori one day. She will tell me everything! Honoka thought. Just what to do about her? Hmm...
Maki was walking down the hall that General Grievous and the CIS were in. She saw them and then smiled.
"Hi, General Grievous-san," she greeted.
"Hello, Maki," Grievous responded. "Um...I was wondering if Muse wanted to take us out to eat. We're hungry."
"Out to eat?" Maki asked. "Well...sure...we can go out to eat."
"Good. Meet you guys soon," Grievous responded.
Maki watched as Grievous and the CIS walked down the hall exploring more hallways. She blushed.
"General Grievous is nice," she said.
End of Chapter 3.
