Xamusel: Okay, hopefully you all liked what we did in the previous chapter, if only because we managed to successfully get past the part of the game before we reach the Elsa arriving. Now that this is at the main point of divergence… we'll be more than ready for what comes ahead.
Also, there is a Lemon near the end of this chapter, which is why the rating has been raised to M. You have been warned.
Anyway, here we go, on to the story ahead!
Chapter 3: Surprise!
Bridge of the Elsa
"What a mess…" the captain said, looking at the wreckage of the Woglinde. "Whoever it was, they sure went all out. You think there's anything left out there?" Turning to face one of his fellows, he said, "Hey, Tony! How long before the Federation gets here?"
Tony, from his station at the helm, answered, "Well, let's see… The last SOS went out a half-an-hour ago, so… We've probably got at least three hours, right? No sign of any nearby ships, either." Turning to the sensor operator, he asked, "Right, Hammer?"
"Yep," Hammer answered, arms behind his head. "We're the only ship within a 5,000 light-year radius."
"Alright…" the captain said, before he uncrossed his legs and stomped the left one on the ground, taking his lit cigarette and squishing it out. "That should be enough. Let's grab anything that looks salvageable."
"You know, captain," Hammer said. "I realize the deadline for paying back Master Gaignun is right around the corner, but don't you think this is a little risky? If the Feds find out, we'll be lucky to get 10 years."
"That's if they find out," the captain replied. "You know the Feds aren't gonna patrol all the way out here in the middle of nowhere."
"Well… I just don't like the idea of feeding off the dead," Hammer stated. "I mean, what are we, space jackals? Vultures? Hyenas?"
Suddenly, he got a boot to the back of his chair, in the area of his head… courtesy of the captain, who was sitting right behind him. "Ya moron! What kinda metaphor is that?" the captain questioned. "Don't be comparing us to extinct animals! You'll jinx us! We're recyclers, dammit. Environmentally-friendly space recyclers."
Tony turned to look at the captain and reminded, "Master Gaignun told us to stay away from any 'side jobs,' remember? He said it hurts the Foundation's image." He paused. "I don't know…" At that moment, his console went off, showing him…
"Whoa! I have a wrecked ship on cameras, directly at three o'clock! Looks like a Ganymede class…"
"Nice work there, Tony," the captain said. "Good thing we were tapping the U.M.N. emergency channel… Come on, we're pulling in. Get us close."
Looking forward, Hammer said, "Yep, we're vultures…"
"What was that?!" the captain leaned in forward and questioned of Hammer's word choice.
As they turned to their starboard side, Hammer was typing up and saying, "Spectrum matches up perfectly. It's a geocrystal."
The captain nodded and said, "All right! Not bad. Let's start with that one."
As they got closer to it, Tony was looking clearer, seeing… a body floating in space?
Turning to face Hammer, Tony shouted, "That's not a geocrystal, you idiot! It's a corpse."
"Well, what'd you expect," the captain asked in reply. "This is a battlefield. It's no big deal. Don't bother wasting fuel. Just keep going and let it bounce off."
Tony stood up and turned around to face the captain, arguing, "You're kidding, right? My dead grandma told me to be respectful of the dead. Sorry, but I don't want any bad karma. You do it, captain."
"Ya moron…" the captain shot back. "What, is that your grandfather out there? Don't be ridiculous! Just shut up and keep moving."
"Man, not again," Tony remarked, rubbing the back of his head. "Captain, this is so typical of you… Making us do all the dirty work!"
As they were arguing, the 'corpse' drifted over towards the ship, and ended up lodged against the rearmost portside window.
"Ya moron!" the captain yelled. "What the hell are ya doing? I said bounce it off!"
"Well, don't look at me!" Tony yelled back. "It got stuck on its own. It's not my fault!"
"Whatever," the captain replied. "Just get rid of it."
"Heeey, it's a girl," Hammer muttered. "She might be cute, you know?" He then let out a little giggle…
"Heh, heh my ass, you sicko!" the captain snarled at him. "Who the hell cares how she looks? She's dead!"
"Exactly," Tony remarked. "Besides, she's facing the other way. It's a shame we can't meet face to face…"
As if that was a cue, the 'corpse' turned her head to face them, revealing her blood red eyes. As they all stepped back a bit in shock, she moved to a standing position on the window frame, and placed her hands on the window itself. "Please open your communications line," she said. "I need to speak with you. Frequency 2020."
Hammer, due to being shocked by seeing the 'corpse' talk through the window, cried out, "A talking corpse!"
"Ya moron!" the captain shot out, while looking at the 'corpse'. "Open your eyes! That ain't no corpse!"
"This ain't happening," Tony muttered to himself, his hands clenched together as if in prayer, "this ain't happening…"
"It's a… Realian, or a cyborg," the captain said to calm Hammer down. "Something like that."
"B-but I've never heard of a Realian that can operate out in space?!" Hammer stammered out.
"Well…" the captain said, on a different track. "It's probably a military robot or something. Just open the channel." As Hammer did just that, the captain turned to face their guest and said, "Ahem… I am Captain Matthews of the tramp freighter Elsa. We received your SOS signal earlier. It happened to be within range of our navigational path, so we rushed here to your rescue…"
"Huh?" Hammer asked. "Rescue?!"
He was promptly kicked in the head by Captain Matthews, who then turned back to the robot. "So… is there anything we can do to assist you?"
Rubbing the back of his head while turning to face Captain Matthews, Hammer asked in a hushed tone, "What do you mean, rescue? What about our side job?"
With a further hushed tone, Matthews answered, "Relax, ya moron. We're gonna grab what we can while taking care of this little rescue. With this mess, I bet there's no one left alive, anyway."
"I will make this brief," the robot said, in answer to Matthews' question of what they could do to assist. "I request that you gate jump to Second Miltia immediately."
"Say what?" Matthews asked incredulously. "Oh, yeah, keep dreaming, sweetheart! We can't leave yet, we've still got work to do. And besides… Second Miltia? Have you any idea how much it would cost to travel that far?"
"There is no need for concern," the robot answered. "We will cover all U.M.N. gate fees incurred."
"You expect us to believe that?" Matthews asked. "Even if that were true, we've got other business to attend to right now. We don't have that kind of time."
"My time is limited as well," the robot said. "Failure to comply will result in the destruction of this window."
"Go ahead, give it a try!" Matthews remarked. "The Elsa's forward window can withstand direct hits from debris as big as 6mm! A punch from a girlie like you wouldn't even dent-"
As Matthews was speaking, energy charged in the robot as it raised its right hand to punch the window, which was not really a forward window to begin with… more like a portside window that was at the bridge. In any case, the window got punched, and it got huge cracks in it. "One more strike, and this window will shatter," the robot supplied. "It appears that none of you are wearing space suits. Keep in mind that I am making this proposal with goodwill. I could just as easily toss you out into space and take over the ship."
As she reared back for another punch, Matthews yelled out, "…Daahhh! Okay, okay! We'll do it, we'll do it… Don't be so rash."
"Had you chosen to accommodate me from the onset, we would have saved one minute, 45 seconds," the robot said. "I am coming on board now. Please open the cargo bay."
Matthews was making hand gestures behind his back at Tony as he replied, "Ah… right."
The robot said, as if remembering something, "One more thing."
"W… uh, what?" Matthews asked, as Tony's hands twitched towards the throttle…
"Do not accelerate in an attempt to knock me off," the robot said. "If you do so, I will destroy the engine, and the entire ship with it."
Hammer nodded, even as Matthews growled, and said, "She's got us read…"
"Shut up!" Matthews growled at Hammer, as the robot kicked off the window, heading for the entrance hatch.
A fair bit later, the robot had entered the bridge, and was talking with Matthews when Hammer got something on his console. "Huh? Hey, Captain," he said. "I've got someone on the open channel."
"Who could it be?" Matthews asked. "Survivors?"
"I dunno," Hammer said. "Hold on, I'll put it on the speakers."
As soon as he did so, a voice could be heard through the speakers, though with poor quality. "…Hello! Is anybody out there?!"
Escape Pods of the destroyed Woglinde, Shion and company
In the first of the three escape pods, Cherenkov still clinging to it, Allen yelled over his comm terminal, "Hello? Anyone? If anyone is scanning this channel, please help!" He then looked at the seat ahead of him and said, "Come on, Chief, you give it a try,"
"Don't worry, Allen," Shion said, looking over her shoulder to Allen. "A rescue ship will come for us eventually. I'm more concerned about KOS-MOS. Now where could she be…"
"How would I know?" Allen asked. "Besides, we're not out of the woods yet. I mean, the Gnosis might still be around…"
"I'm not worried about that right now," Shion said. "We have to retrieve KOS-MOS…"
"Forget about KOS-MOS!" Allen replied. "What about us? Ahh… If I'd have known this was gonna happen I wouldn't have let everyone else go first… Maybe they're still around… you think?"
"I don't believe you!" Shion retorted angrily. "Allen… How can you be so insensitive? After all that's happened…"
Back on the bridge of the Elsa
"What do you mean?" came the reply, which was heard over the speakers as the Elsa crew heard the entire conversation. "Of course I'm traumatized! Chief, that was really uncalled for… Do you think that I'm an emotionless android?! For you to even think that is the most traumatizing thing of all…"
"Oh, I never said anything like that!" Shion's voice was heard.
"You just did!" Allen replied. "You think I'm an android, don't you!"
"Chief, Allen, you're being broadcasted over the radio waves," a third voice said from one of the other escape pods. "Could you have your lover's spat later?"
"It's not a lover's spat!" Shion and Allen denied simultaneously.
"What the hell?" Matthews asked Hammer, who shrugged at the question.
At that point, KOS-MOS walked over and pressed a button,
"H-Hey?!" Matthews said indignantly.
"Shion," KOS-MOS said, getting the attention of the people in the escape pods.
"…KOS-MOS?!" Shion asked, as an image of the Elsa's bridge appeared on her monitor, and an image of her in the pod appeared on the Bridge of the Elsa. "KOS-MOS, is that you?! Where are you right now?!"
"I am onboard a civilian ship passing through the area," KOS-MOS explained. "Please remain at your current locale. I'll have these gentlemen come and get the three escape pods brought on board with me."
"Alright," Shion replied. "We'll be waiting for you."
"Now, just wait a second!" Matthews shouted, turning to face KOS-MOS. "Why the hell are we going to help the people in the escape pods?! I thought—"
"Why not help them?"
KOS-MOS turned as a young boy with arabian skin, white hair, and green eyes walked onto the Bridge, stretching his arms.
"Oh, chaos, you're up," Matthews remarked.
"With all this racket… who could sleep?" he replied.
"Well, perhaps you should help me convince this 'KOS-MOS' to let us leave the escape pods to other rescue crew, then," Matthews said, sighing tiredly.
"The people on those three pods proved a significant asset," KOS-MOS remarked. "Retrieving them will be beneficial to us, especially if we encounter combat."
"I happen to be inclined to believe our guest," chaos said, nodding his head in her direction. Turning his head in Matthews' direction, he added, "Still, it's your call, captain. I think we should rescue them."
"Well, if you say so…" Matthews replied. "Sure, I don't mind."
"Tony?" chaos asked, and Tony nodded, before directing the Elsa towards the three escape pods.
Later, the group of seven, counting Cherenkov, made it to the bridge, with Shion bowing and saying, "Excuse us…"
They all walked up, with Shion standing in front of Matthews. "Um… we…"
"I'm Captain Matthews," Matthews replied, holding out his hand.
Taking the hand, Shion said, "My name is Shion Uzuki, and I'm from Vector Industries First R&D Division." Turning her head to indicate the other Vector employees, she said, "These are my co-workers, Allen Ridgeley, Minato Arisato, and Yukari Takeba, who also work in the same division. We do apologize for all the trouble our errant KOS-MOS may have caused you." Turning her head to face the other employees, she said, "C'mon everyone! Show them your gratitude."
"Oh, uh, right," Allen replied, with nods from the other two. "Thank you very much for rescuing us - if it wasn't for you, I don't know what would have happened to us, thanks to our stubborn boss here-argh!" That last bit was from Shion stomping on his foot.
"Yeah, thanks for rescuing us," Minato replied. "Food and water supplies aside, those pods were rather cramped…"
"Agreed," Yukari replied, then her cheeks turned pink as a thought entered her mind, one that she wasn't really intending to share with anyone but Minato.
"You oughta save your thanks for chaos over there and your robot," Matthews said, looking over at the silver-haired boy. "We were just gonna leave you and fly on out of here."
"Oh… I see…" Shion said with a nod. Walking over to chaos, she picked up his left hand with both of hers and said, "Thank you… chaos."
"No, don't mention it," chaos said, shaking his head. "After all, we all need a little help sometimes."
"Yeah…" Matthews added. "He often saves our hides, too, so… we can't turn him down when he asks for a favor."
"Besides, your friend requested you come aboard, anyway," chaos finished. "In fact, I had only just come to the bridge when she made the request, and I was inclined to help out, in any way possible."
"I see…" Shion replied. "That reminds me…" she turned to KOS-MOS. "Thanks for helping pick us up, KOS-MOS, but you should have contacted us sooner! I was worried about you!"
"My apologies, Shion," KOS-MOS said, nodding all the while. "However, I needed to get to Second Miltia ASAP, but not without taking you back to HQ."
"Oh, really?" Shion questioned. "What were the orders from HQ?"
"Captain Matthews," KOS-MOS replied, ignoring the question and turning to the captain. "May I use the Maintenance Lab next to the hangar?"
"Just a second, KOS-MOS…?" Shion started to say.
"Yeah, sure," Matthews answered. "What for?"
"KOS-MOS!" Shion said, starting to get irritated.
"Due to the limitations of the test-use condenser, my energy reserves are almost depleted," KOS-MOS answered. "I wish to receive a co-generator bypass in order to replenish them."
"Hey!" Shion demanded. "What is wrong with you? Answer me, KOS-MOS!"
"So, you'll cover the bill, right?" Matthews asked.
"Yes," KOS-MOS answered.
"KOS-MO…" Shion was going to continue, but…
"Shion," KOS-MOS interrupted.
"Y… yes?" Shion asked, wondering what KOS-MOS wanted.
"My sensors appear to be malfunctioning," KOS-MOS answered. "Please adjust them before we disembark at our destination… preferably soon at the Maintenance Lab."
"Wha…?" Shion replied, turning away as she crossed her arms. "Why should I…?"
"Please, Shion," KOS-MOS said. Walking over to said Lab, 'she' said, "I will speak with you there in private." With that, the door opened and closed, having let KOS-MOS through.
Shion paused for a moment. "I just can't understand her sometimes…" she muttered.
"Hey, don't worry about it," Douglas said, for the first time that meet and greet. "It can be hard to understand someone that you just met, and this might be along those lines in context." Upon seeing the looks from the crew of the Elsa, he coughed into his hand and said, "My name is Douglas McNimitz. I was with the Galaxy Federation ship Woglinde before she was shot down… stupid kamikaze Gnosis."
"Ah," Matthews replied. "Well, good to see you survived. You heading to Second Miltia, too, or do you have anywhere else you want to go? If it's on the way, we might be able to drop you off…"
"Actually, my girlfriend's on Second Miltia, and I wanted to see her before I was assigned elsewhere," Douglas answered. "Besides which, my parents wanted me to pop the question to her… wouldn't do to have them breathing down my neck if they found out I survived but got out of being responsible for my kids with her."
Matthews' eyes widened slightly at that piece of news, but nodded. "Alright, guess that works," he said, before turning to Gabe and Cherenkov. "And what about you two?"
"Well, I—" Cherenkov started to say.
"We're headed for Second Miltia, too," Gabe said. "We'd appreciate the lift to there."
"Gotcha," Matthews replied. "Well, if you're all going to the same place, that'll make things easier…"
"Actually," Cherenkov spoke up, walking over to Matthews. "Any chance of stopping at Senir?"
"Huh?" the other military officials from the Woglinde got out.
"Well, that's en route on the column…" Matthews remarked. "About three or so days from Atalya. If that's your destination, sure, I can do that."
"I see," Cherenkov said. "And the fee…?"
"Today just ain't my day," Matthews replied. "And getting greedy now won't do me any good. I'll just put it on the tab."
"I appreciate it," Cherenkov answered.
"Ah, don't mention it," Matthews remarked. "You're a Marine. Let's just chalk it up to my bit of charity for the Corps."
"Commander Cherenkov, you need to answer my question from—" Douglas started to say, walking up to the other man…
…when a Golem-type Gnosis landed on the portside window of the bridge.
"G, G, Gn, Gno, Gno…" Hammer stuttered as he slowly backed away from the window.
"Gnosis!" Shion exclaimed.
"I knew it!" Allen snarled. "A couple of them were still lurking around!"
"This isn't good!" Yukari remarked as she donned her Driver On and Triceratops Style Rings.
At that moment, the Golem-type Gnosis phased right on through the window, getting Hammer to yell, "It's coming in!"
As Cherenkov pulled out his handgun and fired at the Gnosis, the others in the area right behind him ducked, except for the military trained, Minato, and Yukari. Upon seeing the shots having no effect on the Golem-type, Cherenkov showed horror on his face, especially when it was about to kill him by crushing his esophagus.
"chaos!" Matthews called out, even as the Gnosis lifted Cherenkov into the air, the soldier's feet starting to turn white.
"I know," chaos replied, as he started walking towards the Gnosis.
"chaos!" Shion cried out, worried for him.
chaos turned and looked at her. "It's okay," he replied, as the Golem-type raised an arm to strike him-
-and simply stopped as he raised his hand.
Shion, Minato, and Yukari looked on in shock, even as chaos reached up and tapped the Gnosis with a finger, causing it to dissolve into the air.
Cherenkov dropped to the ground, gasping for breath.
Shion simply looked on in shock and awe as Cherenkov was looked over by Hammer. "The Gnosis…!"
"What did he just… do?" Allen asked aloud.
Matthews answered the question on everyone's mind, saying, "Well, that's what I meant when I said he looks out for us."
"Looks out for you?!" Shion asked Matthews. "How did he just do that? I've never heard of a human that can defeat Gnosis…"
chaos walked over to Shion and answered, "There are those who draw well, and those who run fast. Hammer's navigational skills are top-notch, and his knowledge of the Net is vast. Tony's helmsmanship skills are unrivaled. No one even comes close. ...Or so he claims. The Captain… Well, no one holds a greater amount of debt than the Captain."
"Ahh, yes…" Matthews said, before the situation caught up with him. "Hey, wait a second!"
chaos turned back to Shion. "I believe that everyone has at least one skill that they excel in over all others," he told her. "It's something that defines who they are. Shion… What is it that defines you?"
"Huh?" Shion got out. "Me? Well, I…"
"It's the same for me," chaos replied. "It's just something I can do."
"Yup," Tony remarked. "That's all there is to it."
"Ah…" Shion said, having gotten the answer she needed. "I see. Right… I think I get it! It sort of makes sense when you put it that way."
"Yep, that's how it is," Hammer said.
"That's all th… What the…?" Allen exclaimed. "How can you be convinced by that?! That was a Gnosis, Chief! A Gnosis!"
Having turned to face Matthews, chaos said, "Well, Captain, it seems we need to get going before she throws us off the ship. The girl seems to be a stickler for schedules and all."
"Man, oh man… so much for my grandiose plans," Matthews remarked. "After this job, I was supposed to pay off my debts, then head to Keltia to see the Seraphim Sisters live in concert…"
"Ah, you owe Master Gaignun too much to be able to pay it all off," Tony countered, getting Matthews' attention. "And man, the Seraphim Sisters again? You're really hot for them, aren't you?"
"Captain… You don't actually have to go all the way out to Keltia," Hammer said, getting his boss's attention. "Why don't you just connect to the U.M.N. and watch it later?"
"Ya moron," Matthews snapped. "Getting a video feed is nothing compared to immersing yourself in the real thing! There's a world of difference between the two! It's all about reality."
"Who are you kidding, it's all the same!" Tony countered again. "Your brain can't tell the difference."
"Why you… hurry up and take us outta here!" Matthews snapped.
"All right," Tony replied, heading down to the pilot's seat. "Roger that."
"Well, then," chaos said. "I'll take Shion and the others to their rooms."
"That's very kind of you," Shion replied with a bow.
"Thank you very much," Yukari added.
"All right, you do that," Matthews said. After a short bit of wait, he slumped and said, "Damn… Today's been one hell of a day…"
With that, the Elsa moved away from the debris field, taking the passengers to their destinations.
A few minutes later, Minato and Yukari's room
Minato and Yukari looked around, taking in the details of the room they would share for the duration of the trip.
Originally meant as a passenger liner before being acquired by Matthews, the Elsa still had quite a few rooms available for passengers. However, Minato and Yukari had opted to go for a single room as opposed to separate ones.
"Well… how lucky did we have to be to get this room?" Yukari asked. "It has a king-sized bed and everything!"
"Yeah…" Minato replied. "Only five-star hotels back in the other universe would have accommodations like this… or hotels in the Red Light Districts."
"Ugh… don't remind me," Yukari said, shuddering. "I'd rather avoid any mention of that for a long time!"
"Alright," Minato replied. He then paused for a moment. "Yukari… I… I'm glad you're alright…"
"Yeah…" Yukari said, nodding. "Me, too… Minato… aishiteru."
"Aishiteru, Yukari," Minato replied as he walked over to her, claiming her lips in a kiss.
Yukari moaned into the kiss, wrapping her arms around Minato's neck, pulling him further in.
Minato complied, deepening the kiss as his tongue slipped out to brush against Yukari's lips, even as his hands began to roam over her body.
Yukari's mouth opened to let Minato's tongue into her, starting a bit of a tongue of war with Minato, trying to see who would have dominance in the mouth.
As their tongues fought for dominance, Minato's hands continued roaming over Yukari's form, eventually managing to get under her garments to begin massaging her breasts.
Yukari moaned even louder in Minato's mouth, knowing her breasts were really sensitive to touch, as she began to undo his clothing.
The two broke the kiss briefly as Yukari pulled Minato's shirt off, followed by Minato pulling off Yukari's shirt, then they resumed as Minato began undoing Yukari's bra.
Upon losing the support for her breasts, Yukari blushed up a storm, given that she had a pair of DDs on this version of her body. Still, despite being one cup size higher than what her breasts were supposed to be, she rather liked how she was giving her body the right attention. Even so, she kissed Minato even more fiercely than before, especially as she pulled his pants down.
Minato groaned in pleasure as the kiss continued, even as Yukari pulled down his pants to reveal his erection. As one hand began massaging her breasts again, his other hand reached down to undo her skirt, then pull her panties down, revealing her slit. His hand then reached back to begin fondling her ass.
Yukari gasped in the kiss as she felt Minato fondling her ass, prompting her to break off from the kiss, get down on her knees, and move her mouth around his cock, sucking at it while bobbing her head back and forth on it.
Minato groaned again, both his hands having moved to Yukari's head and entangling themselves in her hair as she moved up and down on his cock. "Y… Yukari…" he groaned. "It… it feels so good…"
Yukari looked up at him from her position on the floor, mouth refusing to release its hold on his cock, before signalling with her eyes that she wanted him to penetrate her ass first. With that, she continued sucking, massaging Minato's balls with her hands.
Yukari's ministrations were proving too much, and driving Minato closer and closer to an orgasm, even as he nodded to show he understood her silent request. "Yukari… I… I'm gonna cum!" he warned.
As soon as the warning came, a large amount of semen entered Yukari's mouth, even as she kept the head inside it. Doing her absolute best to swallow it, she barely got it all down without it leaking out of her mouth, before she let Minato's erection out of her mouth.
Minato smiled down at his lover, even as she turned around and presented her ass to him, positioning herself on her hands and knees for stability. With his cock having been lubricated by her saliva, he guided it to her asshole, before starting to push it inside.
Inch by inch, Yukari felt a growing amount of pleasure enter from inside of her, especially as the erection was slowly sawing its way inside.
Minato grunted with effort as he pushed his cock into her ass, it being tight enough that it was a bit of a struggle even with the lubrication. Eventually, though, he bottomed out inside her, and then began thrusting in and out, the feel of her ass around his cock driving his pleasure up quickly.
Eventually, Yukari felt that Minato was going to release inside of her ass, just as she felt something was about to release down her pussy. In that moment, both Minato and Yukari released at the same time.
Minato gently pulled his cock out of Yukari's ass. "You up for more?" he asked her.
Nodding a worn out nod, Yukari answered, "Just… one more… time…" Turning about to get in the bed, she said, "From the front, this time."
Minato nodded. "Sounds good," he replied, as he got into the bed over her. "One more's about all I have left in me for now, too." Yukari spread her legs, and Minato guided his cock to the entrance to her pussy. "You ready for it?"
"As ready as I'll ever be, Minato," Yukari answered, giving him a nod.
Minato nodded back, and slowly pushed his cock into her pussy. He moved slowly, allowing her body to adjust as his cock filled her, but he paused slightly when he reached her hymen.
Yukari looked at Minato in expectation, before wrapping her arms around him, forcing him to give her another kiss to keep from scaring the others down the hall with her screaming from having a torn hymen.
Once she started kissing him, he pulled back and pushed all the way in, breaking past her hymen and sheathing himself all the way inside of her, as his tongue explored her mouth and his hands massaged her breasts, to help take her mind off the pain.
Yukari's mind was on the pain only for the briefest of moments, before it vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving her in the land of bliss as she moaned even more into Minato's mouth.
Minato smiled mentally as he pulled out until just the tip of his cock remained within her, before pushing back in, the sensations driving his pleasure up again. "Yukari…" he began after they broke the kiss. "You feel so tight around me…"
"Minato…" Yukari said. "You're like a drug that I can't get enough of… the good kind of drug at that…" Noticing the sensations inside her, she continued, "I… I can't hold this back for much longer…"
"N… neither can I…" Minato replied, feeling his own orgasm draw close. "L… let's cum… together!"
At that moment, they both let loose their respective orgasms, with Minato's cum shooting into Yukari's womb… and they both went to sleep in the bed.
Douglas' Room
"Man… couldn't wait until we got to Second Miltia, could they?" Douglas asked himself, upon finishing overhearing Minato and Yukari have sex from the room next over.
There was a knock on the door.
"Yeah? Who is it?" Douglas asked out loud, heading for the door.
When he opened the door, chaos was standing there. "I heard noises from the room next to yours," he remarked, "but when I went to check on Mister Arisato and Miss Takeba, they didn't really answer, and the door was locked."
Blinking, Douglas asked incredulously, "Wait… does that mean you don't know they were doing?"
"Not really," chaos remarked. "I will admit to knowing a lot of things, but… the noises I was hearing weren't anything I've experienced before."
With a palm to his face, Douglas answered, "Could you wait until we make our first stop at Senir? I promise I'll explain it to you then. For now? Get some sleep… you're gonna need it." With that, he closed the door, getting ready for bed himself.
Vector Industries
"Master Wilhelm," a mechanical voice of a man in a red cloak and wearing a matching mask said from in front of this 'Wilhelm' person's desk. "I have a report from KOS-MOS. Shion Uzuki and three other employees, Allen Ridgeley, Minato Arisato, and Yukari Takeba, have all joined up with KOS-MOS."
"I see..." replied Wilhelm, a silver-haired man with caucasian skin and orange eyes, wearing a business suit that reflected his position as the CEO of Vector Industries.
"This is fortunate, especially since there's an unidentified ship closing in on the battlefield," the man said further.
"And, if the ship were to threaten the girl," Wilhelm remarked, "KOS-MOS would protect her… Is that not right?"
"Yes," the man said. "That would be the prime directive."
"Either way, it was a wise decision to pull back KOS-MOS," Wilhelm remarked. "There's no need for us to continue serving them, or the Federation, any longer. Besides, the data for the Rhine Maiden is now complete."
Standing upright, Wilhelm walked over to a strange compass-like device, saying, "However… the alignment of this Compass of Order seems to be off. If the phenomena were indeed moving forward as specified by it, we'd be ready to accept that the Compass was correct, would we not?

Takeshi Yamato: Well, that's the end of that chapter.
The Elsa has arrived, and this time KOS-MOS actually helps the protagonists get aboard.
And yes, we included a Minato/Yukari Lemon. Seemed appropriate.
Next chapter, we leave the Elsa behind for the moment, to go to the next arc. Let us see what the Butterfly Effect (semi-literally) changes next.
And don't forget to review, as well as reading/reviewing A Wizard in Iwatodai! :D
