Due to what Lala did to Rito earlier, me, Mea, Momo, Nana, and the little Celine along with them had to leave the school earlier for the home. Not that i mind. But i would prefer it better if Rito was still his male self! This is just too disturbing! Anyway, after we reached the house, a few minutes later Mikan arrives as well, returning from her school. She asked why we returned so soon, and of course why Rito turned into a girl. It doesn't take us long to explain the "why".
Mikan: So, i understand why you left school early and came home... But what with the outfit.
Oh yeah, right. Before Mikan arrive, Lala decided for some reason to make Rito wear a maid outfit.
Rito: Lala forced me to wear it!
Lala: Ehehe~~~ It's just that Mea wanted to see Riko in a cute outfit!
You had to call him like that as well?!
Mikan: Mea?
That moment Mea appears behind from Rito, and starts to fondle his breasts.
Mea: Your boobs are so big, Senpai!
Rito: C-Come on, stop fondling my breasts!
Mikan was disturbed by the scene. I don't accuse her. This is just WAY too wrong.
Mikan: Umm, who's that?
Rito: Um... Yeah, she just tagged along...
At the moment, Nana comes in from the sitting room.
Nana: She is my friend, Kurosaki Mea.
Rito: How long are you going to stick to me?!
Mea: You're so cute, Senpai. You make me want to lick you.
And she actually started to do that. On his breast.
Rito: H-Hey! Don't actually lick me!
Mea: Mmm, salty!
Eww! For God's sake, someone make her stop! Thankfully, she stopped after a minute. After that, we moved to the sitting room, and Mikan asked Mea if she wanted any coffee or tea to drink. She decided to choose the tea. After Mikan brought her the tea, Mea starts to put so much sugar in it, that made it look like a mountain.
Nana: Are you going to drink it like that, Mea?
Ionas: Seriously, how can you even drink it like that?!
Mea: I have a sweet tooth.
After she put enough sugar, she takes a sip of her "Sweet tea". At the moment, little Celine seemed to want some as well.
Mea: Do you want to drink too? Here you go.
Mea gives her tea to her, and then Celine drinks it happily. At the moment, Rito approach little Celine worried.
Rito: Are you sure about this, Celine?
Seeing that, made me remember the scene.
Ionas: Oh.
That exact moment, Celine spits furiously the tea she drank on Rito's face, making him somehow to back off and fall afterward onto Nana, having as a result for her to touch accidentally his breast before they fall down.
Rito: Whoa, sorry!
Rito sat up from above her and backs off a little.
Rito: Are you alright, Nana?
Nana sat up, disturbed of what happened. When she sat up a little more, she shows an angry, and a little sad expression, while she was touching her own breasts.
Nana: Are you implying something about me?!
This is not going to end well. Rito immediately gets up and starts to run, having an angry Nana chasing him around the room.
Rito: I'm not! Not at all!
Nana: What do you mean "not at all"?!
After Nana grabs him, she was ready to give him the slap of his life.
Rito: C-Calm down!
Nana hits him with a powerful slap, that throws him away- And straight at me!?
Ionas: *Shock*
Rito falls onto me, throwing me down along with him. When i open my eyes, i see that half of my face was... Between his breasts?! Rito looks at me, having a confused look on his face. As for me, i think i'm going to- *About to vomit* With a quick movement of my hand, i forcefully push Rito away, having as a result to accidentally throw him on the wall behind him. Then, loosing no time, i run upstairs and straight to the bathroom, putting quickly my head inside in the toilet.
Ionas: *Vomit*
~A Few Minutes Later~
Ionas: O... Ok... I think i finished. *Vomit*
Maybe not. Ooh, i'm not feeling so well. While i was trying to pull myself together, someone opens the door.
Nana: Hey, Ion, are you ok?
Ionas: Do i look ok to you?! Why?! Why you had to throw him straight at me?!
Nana: I-It was an accident!
Ionas: Yes, i know that! But i still feel awful though. That must be the most disgusting experience i ever had! Just the thought of what happened earlier, and considering the fact that he is not really a girl... Eww!
Nana: Yeah. Sorry for making you pass through that.
Ionas: Don't worry. I don't accuse you for what happened. Like you said, it was an accident.
Nana: Are you feeling any better?
Ionas: I think. I'll come down soon. Just... Give me some time to pull myself together.
Nana: Ok.
Nana closes the door and leaves.
Ionas: *Sigh*
I still can't believe what happened. I will have hard time to forget all that.
~A Few Minutes Later~
Having recovered at last after i spend some time in the bathroom, i start to walk downstairs to see what the others are doing. I hope Rito is back to normal till now. I really don't want to see his female self again. When i get downstairs, i look around, but i see only Lala and Celine in the sitting room, and Mikan in the kitchen. Celine seemed to be busy with some short of toy.
Ionas: Hey, Lala, where is everyone?
Lala: They went out for a walk.
Ionas: All of them?! How come?
Lala: Well, first, Rito turned back to normal. Then Run-Chan came to visit. Then Momo decided that Run and Rito had to go for a walk together. Then, after a moment, she, Mea, and Nana decided to go for a walk as well. Hmmm... That's all pretty much.
Oh, ok i get it. I remember the episode. I think Yami will go with them as well, if i remember correctly.
Ionas: Then i guess things are going to be quite calm for some hours.
Lala: I suppose. Hey, Ion, you wanna try something?
Ionas: Huh? What?
Lala: A little device i made. I want to test it, so i want you to be my test subject!
Ionas: You want me to be your... Test subject.
Lala: Yeah.
Ionas: ... *Sigh* I'll regret to ask this, but what that device is supposed to do?
Lala: You'll see! I'll go upstairs to take it. I'll be back in a minute!
And like that, Lala runs upstairs, to go and bring her device.
Ionas: I have a very bad feeling about this.
I need something to drink. All those vomits made me thirsty. That moment, i see on the table a glass filled with some short of green juice in it. Well, at least i think it's juice.
Ionas: I don't think Lala will mind. But to be sure...
I take out my phone, and call Lala. After a few secs, she answers.
Lala: Yes?
Ionas: Hey, Lala, it's me. I wanted to ask you if you mind if i take a sip from the green juice you left on the table.
Lala: oh, no, i don't mind. Drink as much as you want.
Ionas: Ok, thanks.
And like that, i end my call.
Ionas: No problem, no regret.
I take the glass of juice in my hand, and look at it carefully.
Ionas: Nah, i worry too much about it. I'm sure that Lala would not drink something that it's not tasty, right?
Also my throat is killing me. Well, let's just take the risk. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? Without thinking about it anymore, i take a sip from it.
Ionas: Mmm... Interesting flavor. I must ask Lala for the recipe... Ooh.
Suddenly... I don't feel so well. I feel a... Strange sensation in my head.
Ionas: ... *The pupils of the eyes become slit-like* Huh?
...
Ionas: Huh.
...
Ionas: *Giggle*
~A Few Minutes Later~
Lala: I found it!
Lala was coming downstairs, having a device in her hand.
Lala: Ok, Ion, are you ready?
Lala sees only Celine in the sitting room.
Lala: Huh? He is not here? Hey, Mikan, where is Ion?
Mikan: He just left. He said that he was going for a walk.
Lala: Really? Ooh, too bad. I was looking forward to test this device on him.
Mikan: *Sweat Drop* (Maybe that's why he left.)
~Somewhere In The City~
{Momo's POV}
Me, Mea, Nana, and Yami were following Rito and Run, undercover of course, to see how things will go with their little date. Till now, they are just walking around. I'm anxious to see just how this date will turn out!
Momo: *Big Grin*
Nana: Why are you smiling like that?
Momo: Eh? Oh, nothing, i was just thinking about something.
Mea: Momo, are those guys that block their way part of the date?
Momo: Huh?
I look to where Rito and Run are, and see some guys in front of them, blocking their way. They must be at least six. Just what they want from them?
?1: Well, look what do we have here! A cute little girl and her date!
Run goes behind from Rito.
Rito: Wha-What do you want?
?1: Nothing much. We just want to keep some company to your cute date over there. I hope we are not asking for much.
Rito: We-Well, i am with her, s-so-
?2: I don't think you get it. Give us the girl or we are going to give you a hard time. Get it?
Rito: I-I...
Things are not looking good. We have to do something!
Yami: I will take care of them. Stay here and-
Nana: Wait, is that Ion over there?
We look on the other side of the road, and see Ion coming while dancing, and singing a song in a language i can't understand.
Ionas: Ήταν ένα μικρό καράβι, ήταν ένα μικρό καράβι, που ήταν α-α-αταξίδευτο, που ήταν α-α-αταξίδευτο, οε, οεε, οεε, οεεε!
(For those who didn't understand, he is singing the Greek version of "Il était un petit navire", known and as "There was a little ship", and also known to Greeks as "Ήταν ένα μικρό καράβι".)
As Ion approaches, he sees Rito and Run, and stops singing and dancing.
Ionas: Hey, Rito, Run! Good to see you my friends!
Rito: Ion?
?2: Who the hell you-
Ionas: SO, tell me, Rito, how is your little date with Run goes? Good? Good?
Rito: Ummm...
Is it me, or Ion looks more cheerful than usual?
?1: Hey, excuse me, who are you exactly?
Ionas: Hm? Hmmm...
Ion looks at Rito, Run, and at the six delinquents in front of him intensively.
Ionas: OH, i get it! Rito, Run, go and continue with your little date. I will handle these people, and give them something that they will love a lot more than you two!
The delinquents seemed a little confused with what Ion said.
Ionas: Come on, come on, go now.
Rito: O-Ok. Come on, Run, let's go.
Run: Yes.
Rito and Run take the chance and run away.
Momo: Quick, let's follow them!
Nana: What about Ion?
Momo: You heard him, he can handle those people. Now hurry up, or we'll lose them!
Nana: H-Hey, wait up!
Momo & Nana start to run, following Rito and Run.
Mea: Wait for me!
Mea was about to run behind them, but stops as soon as she notices that Yami is still focused at Ion and the delinquents.
Mea: Sis, are you not going to come along?
Yami: I want to ensure something. I will come later.
Mea: Ok. See you later, Sis!
And like that, Mea starts to runs, following Momo & Nana once again.
{Yami's POV}
Something doesn't feel right. His aura is a lot different than the last time i met him. I will just watch for now, and see what he will do.
?1: So-
Ionas: SO! I hope you guys are ready for something incredible! Because i was not lying about what i said earlier! I am going to give you something good! Something nice! Something that you need more than anything! Something that you all deserve! And the most important, for free.
After he said all that, the six delinquents were filled with excitement.
?3: What is it, what is it?!
Ionas: It's a game.
?2: Wha- A game?
Ionas: Yeah. I call it-
That instant, and with a sudden and quick movement, Ion strikes with his punch one of the delinquents in the face, throwing him past the other five and on the ground.
Ionas: Hit the punk!
The delinquent he hit was unconscious, having a bleeding nose, and most of his teeth broken. The remaining five were just standing there, shocked of what just happened.
?1: What the-
Ionas: The rules are simple! I just have to knock you all unconscious, in order to win the game. Breaking or shattering any of your bones will count as extra points for me.
?2: Eeh?!
Ionas: Also, if i happen to hit you so hard that you will actually spit some of your organs out of you, then that counts as extra points too.
?3: Th-This guy is crazy!
Ionas: As for you all, there is only one rule you need to follow. "Run".
By the moment he said that, the remaining five of the delinquents start to run, scared of losing their lives.
Ionas: That's the spirit! Now let the game, and officially, begin!
Ion puts one of his feet in front of him, and then uses it to makes a strong leap forward, spinning around himself in the process. In no time, he gets close to one of the delinquents by that way, and while spinning, Ion kicks the delinquent on the side of his head with such a force that the guy was thrown at the other side of the road, and straight to a wall.
Ionas: *Grin*
Then, by the moment Ion touches the ground, he starts to run after the rest of the delinquents in high speed. His speed seems to be equal to that of a Devilukean.
Ionas: Next, are you two!
While running, Ion passes past the two delinquents he was talking about, grabs their legs, and jumps upward on the air while holding them.
Ionas: Extra points, here i come!
While falling along with the two he was holding, he gets close to one of the remaining running delinquents. Then, after getting close enough, he swings the two delinquents he was holding, and strikes the one who was running on his head, by using their heads.
Ionas: Hammer Strike!
After that strike, the three delinquents fall unconscious on the ground, having their heads seriously wounded.
Ionas: That was fun! Now, for the last one!
He said that while pointing on the last running delinquent.
Ionas: Hey!
That moment Ion crouches and takes the shoe of one of the fallen delinquents.
Ionas: Care if i take this for a moment?
He phases there for a moment, looking at the fallen delinquent.
Ionas: Good!
Ion brings backward his arm that holds the shoe, and then throws it straight to the delinquent. As a result, the shoe hits the delinquent at his leg's popliteal region {The back of the knee}, making him fall on the ground by that way.
?1: AAHH, my leg!
The delinquent tried to stand, but the pain on his legs couldn't let him.
?1: O-Oh no.
Ionas: Oh, don't be so surprised!
He looked at Ion, seeing him coming closer and closer. The delinquent was in total terror.
Ionas: I may not know much of the human anatomy, but i know just enough to understand that a strong enough hit on the back of the knee, is just enough to make a person unable to even walk. And now that you can't run anymore, and since you are the last one that remains in the game, i will make sure to give you a good "break", get my extra points, and hit high score!
Ok, that's enough. I must stop him.
?1: No! Please! Show mercy!
Ionas: Sorry, dude, but high score calls. Maybe next time.
Ion prepares to throw a powerful punch at the delinquent. The last moment, i get between them, and block Ion's punch by turning my hand into blade, stopping his attack by that way.
Ionas: Huh? Oh, Yami!
Ion stops his attack and makes a few steps backward.
Ionas: How are you doing? I'm guessing great!
I return my hand back to normal, and look at him carefully. Now that i take a better look on him, his eyes seems different as well.
Yami: What do you think you're doing, Ionas Dardanidis.
Ionas: Now, now, that's not the right way to call a Greek name. Just call me Ion. I assure you that you will make no mistake by that way. As for what i'm doing, isn't it clear? I'm just playing around.
Yami: That's not what i meant-
Ionas: Hey!
Ion sees the delinquent, trying to crawl away.
Ionas: The game isn't it over yet, punk!
Ion walks past me, wanting to stop the guy from escaping. But for one more time, i get in front of him, and stop him.
Yami: I cannot allow you to continue hurting people. Even those. You have a lot to explain, Ion.
Ionas: ... I see. Ok, i'll do as you say. So-
He goes beside me and grabs my shoulder.
Ionas: Why don't we go talk about it in a nice and quiet place, while eating some of those "Taiyaki" you like, during our little debate?
That sounds quite reasonable.
Yami: Ok.
He quickly lets my shoulder and goes in front of me.
Ionas: Good! Now, please, lead the way.
And like that, we start to walk away from here, having Ion following me from behind. To tell the truth, i was not expecting him to stop his rampage just like that. Still, why his aura feels so... Dark? I better start questioning him now.
Yami: Ion, why you-
I looked behind me only to see that Ion was not there.
Yami: Huh?
Then i notice Ion running toward to the crawling delinquent.
Ionas: Later, sucker! Extra points, here i come!
It seems that i was too careless. I must move quick.
Ionas: Hey, punk!
?1: Huh?
Ion makes a high leap forward, and prepares to stomp the delinquent with his foot.
Ionas: It's high score time!
?1: AAAH!
Before Ion reach him, i go quickly in front of him, and once again i block his attack by turning my hand into blade. After that, he jumps backward and lands on his feet.
Ionas: Oh come on now, Yami! I want to earn me those last points, finish this game, see if i got a high score, and start another game! Why you keep getting in my way anyway?
Yami: I'm not quite sure about what are you talking about, but you cannot just run around and hurt people whenever you like.
Ionas: *Snicker* If you see where the guy is looking at, i'm sure you will not say the same.
That moment i look at the guy behind me, and see that he is looking at my panties under my skirt.
Yami: ... Pervert.
I turn part of my hair into a punch and hit the guy, throwing him away and high in the sky.
Ionas: Hey, those points were mine!
I turn my hair back to normal and look at Ion, still trying to understand what are those points he is talking about.
Ionas: Oh well, it wasn't really that important. Anyway, i guess it's time for me to leave. See ya next time!
Yami: Not so fast.
Ionas: Hm?
Yami: You still need to explain about your actions.
Ionas: Nah, i don't have time. Maybe next time.
Yami: No. You will explain now.
Ionas: And if i don't, what are you going to do?
Yami: In that case i will-
Ionas: Chase me?
Yami: Huh?
Ionas: Oh, so it's a tag game then! Ok, i'll play!
Yami: That's not-
Ionas: You chase!
Before i say more, Ion starts to run away in high speed, and in only three seconds, he was nowhere to be found.
Yami: ...
A few seconds later, he comes back in high speed, and stops right in front of me. He seems to be a little annoyed.
Ionas: You're not very motivated, are you? Well, in that case, i know what to do.
Without warning, he flips my skirt, and sees my panties.
Yami: *Blush*
Ionas: I think that must be enough. By the way, nice panties. See ya!
And for one more time, he runs away in high speed, laughing.
Yami: ... You... You... Pervert!
I turn my whole hair into many blades, and start hunting him. I don't care what is his problem, i will kill him for what he did!
Ionas: Call me whatever you want, Goldie! At least now you're playing!
I start attacking him with my hair blades, trying to cut him into pieces. But every time i'm about to strike him with one of my blades, he just jumps right and left while running, avoiding them.
Ionas: The fun has just been doubled! Thanks a lot, Goldie! You just know how to make a game better!
Why he keeps seeing all this as just a game? Can't he realize that his life is in danger?
Ionas: Life is great!
It seems the answer is no. That moment, he suddenly starts to run even faster, getting himself out of my attack range.
Ionas: See if you can catch me now!
Yami: You are not going to get away.
Not wanting to let him escape, i grew a pair of wings on my back, and fly after him. Thanks to that, i already started to catch up with him.
Ionas: Nice thinking, Goldie! But don't think this will help you much!
Ion makes a quick turn in a corner, getting out of my line sight. I go to where he went, only to see that he is nowhere to be found.
Yami: Where did he-
Ionas: And after i told her that, i just flipped her skirt!
Hearing that, made me notice Ion just a few meters behind me, talking to a stranger.
Ionas: You should have seen the look on her face! Just priceless! *Laugh*
Yami: *Death Glare*
Ionas: *Looks Behind* Oh, right, the game. Better run!
And like that, he starts to run away once again. While i fly after him, i start attacking him again with my hair blades. But he once again avoid them with ease. And i thought Yuuki Rito is hard to hit.
Ionas: Hey, Goldie, see this!
Ion makes a big leap on the building on his left. The moment he touches the wall, he starts to run upward on it, going for the building's rooftop.
Ionas: See you at the top!
Yami: You are not going to escape.
I fly after him, and up to the building. Once we reach the top, he runs close to one of the rooftop's sides, and stops as soon as he notices its ledge.
Ionas: Whoa, that was close.
I land on the rooftop and withdraw my wings back to my back. Ion looks around, trying to find a way to escape.
Yami: There is no place to run now.
Ionas: I guess you're right. It seems that you got me without needing to grab me or stab me. Well done, Goldie, you won in the Tag!
He still thinks we were playing.
Ionas: Ok, now that we finished with our little game, it is time to see what game to play next! The choices are many, and the fun countless!
Yami: Enough with the games.
Ionas: Let me guess, you still want to kill me. Well, after what i did, it is pretty much understandable. And to think that all that started because of what i did earlier in Rito's house.
Yami: What do you mean?
Ionas: Not sure. Maybe it had something to do with that strange green liquid i drank from a glass some minutes ago. A little confusing if you ask me, but very tasty!
So that's the cause of his actions. That drink must had something in it, that messed with his head. That's the only reason about why he acts so imprudently. But, that still doesn't explains about why his aura is different as well.
Ionas: Other than that, i had much of fun playing with you! You know, i always considered you as one of my friends! Well yeah, you tried to kill me once, but only because you thought your friends were in danger that time. By that way you showed me just how important are Mikan and the others to you, and just how much of a good friend you are. And the friend of my friend, is my friend.
Yami: ...
Maybe i was a little too rush about wanting him dead. After all, it's not entirely his fault for ending up in a state like that.
Ionas: Hey, are you still there, Goldie?
I'm starting to get tired of hearing him calling me that. Ryoko Mikado might be able to help him with his strange case. I better get him to her clinic.
Yami: Come with me.
Ionas: Huh? Where?
Yami: To Ryoko Mikado's clinic. You need-
Ionas: Cure? *Laugh*
For what reason he laughs now?
Ionas: Don't get me wrong, i know what is the matter with me. But if i make this easy for you, then where is the fun of trying?
Yami: Ion, i'm trying to help you.
Ionas: Goldie, i'm trying to do this harder for you.
Seriously, if he gets more annoying than he already is, i might reconsider my previous choice, and kill him in the end.
Ionas: Now, in order to make this a little more interesting, i think it's time for a new game.
Yami: I said enough with the games.
Ionas: Oh, but you will like that one! It is more of your... Style. I call it "Fight For The Top"! The rules are simple: You and me are going to fight each other in a fight on the top of this building.
He wants to fight me?
Ionas: If any of us is unable to fight, or get thrown out of the building's top, then is the loser. You're still allowed to fly around, but only if you're inside the rooftop's area. What do you say?
Yami: I-
Ionas: You want to start right away? Ok by me!
Ion makes a strong leap forward and gets ready to punch me. I quickly dodge his attack, making him hit the ground. His punch was strong enough to shatter a small part of the rooftop. After that, i made sure to keep my distance from him, and be ready for his next move.
Ionas: Embattled as always i see. This fight will be fun!
Yami: Ion, stop this nonsense. There is no reason for us to fight.
Ionas: Goldie, relax it's just a game. It's not like you will really lose your head if i do this.
With a sudden movement, Ion gets in front of me in less than a second, and moves his palm horizontally, aiming for my neck. Just before the strike hits, i avoid it by leaning quickly backward. Then i turn around, and hit him with a low roundhouse kick on his legs, making him lose his balance and fall to his back.
Ionas: Ow! Nice one, Goldie! You sure know how to play this game!
Yami: This is not a game!
Ion stands up and looks at me with seriousness.
Ionas: Yes, it, is. Also, is it me, or that's Mikan behind you?
Yami: Huh?
I look behind me to see, but i see no one there. Then, without warning, Ion strikes me on the right side of my flank area with a powerful kick, throwing me by that way close to one of the rooftop's ledges.
Ionas: I'm such a good liar! And no, that doesn't count as cheating if that's what you're thinking, because i didn't add any rule that says no to distractions. You had to expect a trick like that.
I get back on my feet, holding my right side from the pain. That kick almost broke my ribs. I must be careful from now on. In that condition of his, he is not to be taken lightly.
Ionas: Come on, come on! Show me what you can do!
Yami: Fine. But if i win you will come with me to Ryoko's clinic.
Ionas: Ok! BUT, if I win, then you will... Well... Now what can i ask for? Difficult question. OH, i know! If i win you will let me kiss you!
Yami: *blush* What?!
Ionas: On the forehead!
Yami: Huh?
Ionas: What? You expected a kiss on the mouth? Don't be ridiculous, Goldie, i'm not in love with you to do that! And then YOU call me pervert!
Yami: What? No! I just-
Ionas: No explanations! You showed just how dirty your thoughts are! It seems that in the end, you're just a dirty bitch!
Yami: ... I am so going to kill you for this.
Ionas: Then what are you waiting for, Goldie? Bring it on!
I run toward him, and turn my hands into blades. When i reach him, i thrust forward one of my blades, aiming for his chest. Before i strike, he brings one of his arms in front of him, and uses it to block my attack. My strike was only able to push him a little, and scratch slightly his arm. Just how durable he is?
Ionas: That's all?
With a quick movement, i kick him on the side of his head. The hit made him to stumble and almost fall.
Ionas: Now that's more like it! Let's dance!
He gets close to me and starts to throw punches and kicks. His attacks are fast but not impossible for me to avoid or block them. When i find the chance, i start attacking too, using my blades and my kicks. But he is able to avoid and block my attacks too. He is not going to be defeated easily. After a few more attacks, he jumps backward, keeping his distance from me.
Ionas: No damage?! Are you kidding me?! How fast i must move in order to-! Ooh! Right! That one! I totally forgot about it.
What is he talking about now?
Ionas: Goldie, it was fun our time together. But i think i will end this game sooner than i expected.
After he said that, Ion gets into a fighting stance, and looks at me with a mischievous look on his face.
Ionas: Adrenal Activation!
By saying that, his aura starts to emit an intense energy, and his eyes become reddish. It almost feels like the last time i fought him. I must-
Yami: OW!
Not seeing him coming, Ion hits my stomach with his knee. The pain was so much, that i knelt onto the ground, holding my stomach.
Ionas: Critical hit! Now that will make your HP go down for sure! By the way, did you liked my special ability? It makes my speed and strength go in a whole different level!
Ion disappears and before i realize it, he appears behind me and kicks me in my back, throwing me away by that way. Then, while still on mid-air after the hit i received, he appears in front of me, grabs my arm, and throws me back to my previous location again, and onto the ground.
Ionas: Forget the Healing Factor and the Durability! Adrenal Activation alone is all i need to beat you down! So? You surrender?
His power is even greater than the last time i fought him. And it is hard to predict his attacks with this speed of his. But no matter what, i will not surrender. I get up, while trying to resist the pain.
Yami: I will not.
Ionas: That's the Goldie i know! Now come! Try to hit me! If you can of course. *Snicker*
Losing no time, i run toward Ion, ready to strike him with my hand blades. But every attempt i make to hit him, is useless. He is just too fast.
Ionas: If that's all you're capable of, then i guess that's it for you.
I am not going to let him mock me like this. While attacking him with my hand blades, i turn the rest of my hair into multiple blades and start attacking with them as well. But no matter how much i attack, his increased speed makes even this seeming like a child's play to him.
Ionas: This combo again? It seems that you're out of ideas already. Well then, shall we end this?
Ion disappears from my view, and appears a few meters behind me.
Ionas: Normally in this part, a voice says "Finish Her"! But that's from another game, so i'll just skip to the part where i finish you off.
Ion disappears again, and appears in front of me, punching me in the chest in the process, and throwing me away by that way. Then, while i was still in mid-air, he appears again in front of me, and hits my stomach with his knee once again, throwing me by that way high into the sky. Recovering as quickly as i could from the hit i received, i grew wings on my back, and stabilize myself into the air. After that, i look down on the rooftop, but Ion is nowhere to be found.
Yami: Where did he- OW!
Without noticing him, Ion appears from above me, and kicks me on my back, throwing me down by that way, and making me fall straight onto the rooftop's floor. The impact of my fall damaged large part of the floor, but not enough for it to break completely. I'm trying to stand, but after all those hits, even that is hard now.
Ionas: Heads up, Goldie! This will hurt a lot!
Looking high in the sky, i see Ion falling down, having both his fists raised from above him. When he reaches me, just before he falls down on me, he brings his fists down, and strikes me with them, raising a dust cloud with his big fall in the process. When the cloud of dust clears, i see Ion standing a few steps away, looking at me being helpless on the broken floor.
Ionas: This roof is stronger than it looks. Also i see that you still have some HP left, so...
He starts walking slowly toward me. I guess he is going to finish me off like he said. I can't believe that i lost to this man so easily.
Ionas: Oh, don't be like that. Everyone loses sometimes. You can't always win, you know. Now-
Ion raises both of his fists above of his head again.
Ionas: Time to end this. See you next time!
Just before he strike me, he stops, having a surprised look on his face.
Ionas: What the...
After that, he fell on his knees. I feel that his aura is weaker now for some reason.
Ionas: Time out so soon?! I was just one hit away to win, come on!
It's like the last time i fought him. When he had the upper hand that time, he fell on his knees after a few seconds, unable to fight back. That's my chance. I try hard to get up, and then i walk toward Ion. Then, while he was still down, i place my hand blades close to the sides of his neck.
Yami: This is it for you, Ion. You lost this fight.
Ionas: You mean that i lost this fight AGAIN. But i guess i had to see that one coming. Adrenal Activation drains a lot of energy after all. And let's be honest, i was talking a little too much while that was active. I'm not really that surprised that i ended up like this. Well, at least i had fun. You had fun?
Even like that, Ion still sees all this as just a game.
Ionas: Anyway. I believe it is time for you to decide my fate. What it will be, Goldie? You will spare my life? Or you will kill me like you said? Either way, i don't mind. After all, this is just a game.
Yami: ...
I know that i said i will kill him... But...
Ionas: ...
Yami: No. I will not kill you.
Ionas: How so? It's because this is not the real me?
Yami: Yes.
Ionas: HA! I knew you were not going to do it. You may act tough on the outside, but in the inside you're just as soft as a kitty! What's next? You will wear pink? Oh, right, your already wear some pink down there! *Laugh*
Not wanting to let this slide, i turn my hair into a punch, and strike him in the face with it, throwing him down onto his back by that way.
Yami: What i wear is none of your concern. Now let's get you to Mikado's clinic, before you get more on my nerves.
B-R-29: I'm afraid that i cannot let you do that.
Yami: Hm?
I heard a voice coming from above. When i look up to the sky, i see some kind of robots that had insect-like appearance, flying with bug-like wings and coming close to the rooftop. They must be at least eleven of them. One of them is bigger than the other ten in height, so i guess it is the one in command. Once they land on the floor, they hide their wings behind in what appears to be their elytra.
Yami: Who are you?
B-R-29: I'm B-R-29, Warrant Officer of the Insectbot Empire! And i would like to thank you for defeating the vermin that lies behind you. It gave me a lot of trouble, and messed with the Empire's objectives more than once. But thanks to you, Golden Darkness, i can at last make him pay for his annoying interference, with his death!
Whatever this Insectbot Empire is, they want Ion out of their way.
B-R-29: You know, i was planning to defeat him by myself, but whatever, i don't really care about it in the end. Now, step aside. It is time to show him what happens when someone messes with our Empire. And i'll be more than happy to do this personally.
*Crush*
Yami: I will not let you do that.
B-R-29: Oh, you will. Unless of course if you want to get in the way of the empire. We are not to be taken lightly, you know.
*Shatter*
Yami: You don't look like that much.
B-R-29: Excuse me?! For YOUR information, we are the strongest beings ever created! We are large, we are smart, and we are so many that we can conquer an entire planet in only a few minutes! Compare to our army, you're nothing! And once we finish with you, you will wish for a swift death!
*Clack*
B-R-29: For goodness sake, who makes that noise!
The Insectbot turns around, and sees something unexpected. All his soldiers in pieces, and gathered into a pile.
B-R-29: ...
The Insectbot was shocked by the view. But, when that happened? And how i didn't notice anything?
B-R-29: How... When... WHO?!
Ionas: It depends. Who is missing?
The moment we heard the voice, the pile of the fallen soldiers falls down on the floor, and reveals Ion.
Ionas: Oh, yeah, that would be me.
Yami: Ion?
I look behind me, confirming that Ion is surely not where he was. How he recovered so fast?
Ionas: It's always good to see you, B-R. You're someone i can always depend on when i want to break something. And the soldiers you brought were pretty good at it!
After hearing that, the Insectbot was filled with anger.
B-R-29: You... You insolent worm! Those were my best soldiers!
Ionas: You are right. They were. *Snicker*
B-R-29: Why you little...! I will not let this slide, vermin. Not this time. I will bring your end here and now!
Ionas: Oh, so we are playing THAT game again, eh? Ok by me! But if you teleport away, you lose.
B-R-29: I will not need to. This time i came prepared!
That moment, the Insectbot grabs something from his back that seemed like a big brown sword. By looking at it, i can say that it's not just a normal sword.
Ionas: So you will fight me with a sword this time. I don't know how that will help you, but anyway, whatever you like.
B-R-29: That's not just a sword, you brainless worm!
The Insectbot pushes a button on the lower part of the sword's handle, and then its blade starts to emit powerful electricity.
B-R-29: You have no idea with what you're dealing with this time.
Ionas: Really? Because i think that i am dealing with a robotic bug, that wants to fight me by moving a rusty electric sword around. To tell you the truth, i don't think i am dealing with anything that important.
B-R-29: Ok, that's it! Today, you die!
The Insectbot makes a strong leap forward, and moves its sword horizontally to strike Ion. Before the blade hits, Ion dodges the attack by jumping high in the air, passing above of the robot, and landing safely some meters away from it.
Ionas: "Today You Die". That's actually a good name for this game!
B-R-29: Stay still, vermin!
Ionas: But if i stay still you'll hit me.
B-R-29: That's the point!
The Insectbot dashes toward Ion, and starts attacking repeatedly with its sword. But no matter how much it attacks, Ion is able to avoid every strike with no much problem, making the robot hit only the air and the floor around.
Ionas: It seems that you don't know how the game works. Let me show you.
The moment the Insectbot is about to attack with its sword again, Ion stops it by grabbing the hand that was holding it with his left arm, and then immediately he strikes it with the side of his right hand (Karate Chop Style), having as a result to break and detach the Insectbot's hand. When that happened, the Insectbot starts to scream in pain. Wait, that means those robots are programmed to feel pain?
Ionas: *Smirk*
Without losing time, Ion takes the sword from the detached hand, pushes the button on its handle to stop its electricity, then quickly jumps backward, aims with the sword at the Insectbot, and turns his head to look at me.
Ionas: See ya later, Goldie!
The moment he said that, Ion makes a strong leap forward, stabbing the Insectbot deep on its chest with the sword while using the force of his leap to push it backward and down from the building's ledge, having as a result by that way to fall off the building along with the Insectbot. When that happens, i grew wings and follow them down. While still falling, the Insectbot opens its elytra and tries to use its bug-like wings to fly.
Ionas: Nope!
That moment, while still holding the sword inside the Insectbot's chest, Ion pushes the button on the sword's handle, releasing tons of electricity in the Insectbot, making it scream in pain. Due to the electricity it received, the Insectbot was unable to use it's wings to fly.
Ionas: Shocking, isn't it?
After a few seconds, they fall on the ground, with Ion still standing on the Insectbot. When i reach them, i land on the ground and withdraw my wings back to my back, while keep watching them from a safe distance. The Insectbot was unable to move, but it still seemed functional enough to move it's head.
B-R-29: I... C-C-an't... Belie-lie-ve it.
It seems that the powerful electricity has damaged its vocal system.
Ionas: That you lost so easily? Not a surprise at all! B-R, you might be a Warrant Officer, but you're as weak as a tin can! Which you are too.
B-R-29: Y-Y-ou! I a-a-m going to m-m-ake you suf-f-fer for this!
Ionas: Now, B-R, you know that lying will not help you at a point like this. Which reminds me that it's time to bring an end to this.
When he said that, Ion places his hands on the sides of the Insectbot's head.
Ionas: B-R, guess what.
With a quick movement, Ion detaches the Insectbot's head from its body by pulling it off.
Ionas: I've got your head!
I was kind of shocked seeing him doing that. I know it was just a robot, but it still feels wrong somehow.
Ionas: *Laugh* Yes! I win! I WIN! I-
Just before he finish his sentence, he suddenly stops and remains silent. In a split of a second, his aura changed, and his eyes returned back to normal.
Ionas: Huh?
Ion starts to look around, having a questioned look on his face.
Ionas: ... I'm sure i was in the living room just a second ago. What am i doing outside?
That moment, Ion looks at what he was holding. When he sees the Warrant Officer's head of the Insectbot in his hands, he gets startled and drops it down.
Ionas: What the heck?! Wait, is that B-R-29's head?! Seriously, what is going on here?!
It seems that the drink he took wore off. He is back to normal. Ion starts to look around, and then notices me.
Ionas: Yami!
He comes quickly close to me and points at the Insectbot's head.
Ionas: Is this your doing?
Yami: ... Do you not remember what happened?
Ionas: Remember? Remember what?
Yami: ... What is the last thing you remember.
Ionas: The last thing? I remember taking a sip from that green juice in the living room. After that, i suddenly found myself in this place, holding B-R-29's head and...
That moment, Ion's eyes widen, as he seems to realize something.
Ionas: I'm the one who did this, aren't i?
Yami: Yes.
It appears that when the effects of the drink wore off, he forgot everything he did from that time and after.
Ionas: ... I'm confused. Yami, can you explain to me what exactly happened here from the start, so i can understand the situation?
I explained everything about his first appearance today, till the time he decapitated the Insectbot.
Ionas: Wow. I really did all that? Hard to think myself acting like that. Well, not really, but i think you know what i mean. And all that because of that drink?
Yami: That's what you said back there.
Ionas: ... What in the world did Lala put in that drink?!
Kremant: Special Ingredients.
Ionas: AH!
Before i even notice, Kremant appeared behind from Ion, startling him with his sudden appearance.
Ionas: Cut it already! Wait, what do you mean by "Special Ingredients"?
Kremant: That drink you drank was made for devilukeans, not humans. Because of the difference in the physiology of the two species, it might have different effects to each one of those two. Normally, this kind of drink would have a "drunk effect" on a normal human, like that time when Rito became drunk once he drank the "Calm Tonic" that Lala gave him.
Ionas: But i wasn't drunk. Was i?
Kremant: Of course not. A drunk person would react differently. You on the other hand, acted like someone who took big dose of drugs.
Ionas: What?!
Kremant: Don't worry, the drink has not dirtied your system.
Ionas: Oh, thank goodness. And stop reading my mind!
Yami: Wait a moment. If what you said is true, then why the drink had different effects on Ion?
Kremant: Good question! To tell you the truth, i was quite surprised by how the drink affected Ion, since its ingredients affects humans differently. Then i remembered something vital about Ion, that i forgot to mention in the past.
Ionas: Really? And what is that?
Kremant: I bet your reaction will be priceless when i tell you this.
Ionas: Oh, what am i going to hear this time?
{Ion's POV}
Kremant: Something unexpected! YOU, are not really a human.
Ionas: Excuse me?!
Kremant: And there it is! Priceless reaction just as i predicted!
I'm not a human? That's the most ridiculous thing he ever said!
Yami: What do you mean that he is not really a human?
Ionas: Yeah! If you have forgotten, you took me away from my EARTH! I was born on THAT planet, you know!
Kremant: And?
Ionas: That makes me a HUMAN!
Kremant: You have forgotten one small detail.
Ionas: Huh?
Kremant: I said before that when i took you from the other Earth, i took only your soul, not the body. The body you use now is something i made for you in order to exist in this world. Just because it looks human, that doesn't mean it is. You understand what am i trying to say, right?
Ionas: I... Think. But if i'm not "Really" a human, then what am i?
Kremant: Unidentified.
Ionas: Eh?
Kremant: There is no description that can tell what you're exactly. And because your current body was made via soul energy, that doesn't really makes you an energy-like being. And because of that, i'm not quite sure what that makes you.
Ionas: Wait, soul energy?
Kremant: Duh! I'm a ghost! That's what i use! Anyway, it doesn't matter what you are, but who you are. Just think yourself as human anyway. Now what am i trying to say, is that because of your current physiology the drink reacted differently in you. And instead of making you drunk, it just put you into a dragged state. But it was not for long, so we can say that all's well that ends well.
At least that explains a few things.
Kremant: *Giggle*
Ionas: Why are you laughing?
Kremant: I just had a thought. Since your physiology is different from a human's, i wonder, how this will affect you in the following days?
Ionas: ...
Kremant: This will be interesting to watch. Now excuse me, i'll take my leave.
And like that, Kremant disappeared into thin air.
Ionas: Why i have a bad feeling about this.
Yami: Ow.
I looked behind me and see Yami holding her stomach from pain.
Ionas: Are you ok?
Yami: I'm fine. I just need some rest.
Ionas: If you say so. But just in case, i suggest you to go to Mikado's Clinic for a check up.
Yami: Ok.
Ionas: Oh, and can you please not tell what happened to the others? I don't want to worry them.
Yami: I will say nothing about today.
Ionas: Also, sorry for what happened.
Yami: It's ok.
That moment, Yami grew wings.
Yami: Just make sure to watch what you drink from now on.
And like that, Yami flies away.
Ionas: Great, now i feel like an idiot. At least everything went well in the end.
As i think about, i take one last look on B-R-29's severed head.
Ionas: It is bad that i think i'm ok with this? Oh well. After all those encounters, that thing was asking for it.
And like that, i take my leave, and follow the road for Rito's house.
Ionas: At least i hope things will calm now that their Warrant Officer is gone.
~In An Unknown, Underground Facility~
An Insectbot pushes a button and opens the screen, revealing the black figure of their leader.
?: Yes? Who calls?
Insectbot: Sergeant B-R-200, sir!
Says with a salute.
B-R-200: I call to report that the Warrant Officer B-R-29 along with ten of our soldiers died by the hands of the human known as Ion.
?: *Sigh* I knew he was not suitable for the mission from the moment that human appeared. I was expecting that to happen. Sergeant!
B-R-200: Yes, sir!
?: Continue to gather information about that human! Learn everything you can!
B-R-200: Yes, sir!
?: And one more thing. One of our Lieutenant will come at your facility shortly. Until he comes, make sure to not encounter the human, or the Golden Darkness. Understood?
B-R-200: Yes, sir! Umm, sir, can i ask which one of the Lieutenants have you sent?
?: H-B-R-12.
B-R-200: ... Oh scrap.
Ionas: I feel like i lost most of my day because of that crazy drink.
Kremant: Nah, it wasn't that long. Also i must say that it was quite funny seeing you dancing like a fool.
Ionas: Shut up! It wasn't me and you know it! Next time on To love-Ru: The Info.
Kremant: Also, the "There was a little ship" song? Really?
Ionas: IT WASN'T ME!
