(Play Derezzed by Daft Punk)
Meanwhile, the Brave Witches and Mississippi Gang were destroying Neurois everywhere although the witches were doing fine, however the Mississippi Gang were kinda distracted, even though they dodged the Neuroi's attacks. Marcus had told them not to let their anger cloud their minds, but what Normal said to them still ticks them off.
After the Neuroi were destroyed the witches sighed in relief, although they noticed the Mississippi Gang looking down in thought and frustration, which worried them and before they could go to them, Sadako noticed something, "Everyone look!" she alerted everyone and the witches sans the Mississippi Gang were shocked in terror as they saw an enormous group of Neuroi the size of a space armada, before Gundula gave them an order, the Mississippi Gang rushed in towards the Neuroi Armada and the Brave Witches tried to call out to them to stop but to no avail.
The Mississippi Gang looked at one another and nodded, Marcus may have told them not to let anger cloud their minds but he did told them that they had the every right to get angry, so they decided to let off some steam, and it's the only way for them to get that anger already in them out of their system, "BLAST 'EM!" Joey commanded as they disperse and went to separate areas with a shout of fury.
Joey starts out by unsheathing his Strikeblade and wreathes it in wind and raises it high in the air and roars in rage and made a downwards slash and it sent an air slash that sliced five Neuroi in half and it also destroyed their cores, destroying them as well and then he brought out both his Disruptor and DoubleStrike and fires lasers at every Neuroi in sight and then he pointed his Disruptor at one exposed core, "POWER FIRE STRIKE!" he yelled as he unleashed a blast of energy and destroyed the Neuroi and then he pointed his DoubleStrike at another Neuroi, "DOUBLE FIRE STRIKE!" he yelled and launches two blasts of energy and kills the Neuroi, then he holsters both weapons and brought out his Nerf N-Strike Elite HyperFire, "DUAL MODE!" he shouted and materialized a Nerf N-Strike Elite Rapidstrike CS-18m "SUPER BARRAGE!" he yelled as he fires a storm of lasers at the Neuroi destroying them one by one & then he make both blasters disappear and he made another weapon appear and it was a Nerf N-Strike ThunderBlast and then his blaster glowed blue before launching a rocket at the Neuroi and destroyed it and then he unsheathed his Strikeblade and made his Marauder Longsword appear on his other hand as he charged in with both blades.
Ozzy with his Revolvers wreathed in a fiery aura, blasts the Neuroi to bits, "FIRE BLASTER!" he yelled as he blasted a beam of solar energy and destroyed two Neuroi with it and after emptying his pistols, he swithed to his Winchester Shotgun and wreathed it in a fiery aura before firing without abandon, "SOLAR BLASTER!" he yelled blasted a big beam of solar energy at the Neuroi and killed four of them and then he created his Nova Axe and unknowingly enlarged it and chopped a lot of Neuroi in half and destroyed them in a flurry of fire and he then blasted streams of fire at every Neuroi he sees.
Kylie yelled out and unleashed a barrage of light at the Neuroi and she blasted streams of silver energy everywhere, not bothering to call out attack names and transformed it to the Shooting Star Bow and fired arrow after arrow, destroying the aliens and then it turned into the Crescent Moon Saber as she started hacking and slashing them and they were easily destroyed and then she transformed it into her weapon's spear mode and started shooting beams of blue light everywhere at the Neuroi.
And Suzie threw dozens of Shurikens of different elements and it destroyed the Neuroi on all sides and the slashed everywhere with Yorukaze, "PHANTOM SLASH" she yelled as she slashes ten Neuroi, slicingg them to bits.
The Witches who was watching had mixed reactions and Hikari was getting worried for Joey.
Before anyone could speak with a Stealth Bomber-Emotionless appeared much to their shock, it began to drop bombs at them which they quickly dodges. They began to fire their weapons but it was so fast and add the fact that it can blend itself in the clouds further adds the difficulty, then it suddenly fires lasers from it's window-like visors which every barely dodged and when they tried to blast it when it's finally at their range, it'll unleash a loud noise as it's trump card, taking them by surprise.
"OWWWWW!" Joey exclaimed as everyone covers their ears, "Retreat! RETREEEEAAT!" he shouted as everyone managed to get away from the Emotionless' range, Joey then contacts Marcus, "General Kane sir! We have a problem and it's a stealth bomber Emotionless! And not only it turns invisible, it can shoot lasers and it can make a very loud screeching noise!" Joey reported, "And it could possibly make your ears bleed!" he added but unbeknownst to him, Marcus was busy fighting Mahiru and cannot give him a reply, "Ah! I guess they're still busy with those robots!" he exclaimed.
Note: To make things clear, the events in this chapter occurs during the previous chapter.
Ozzy then turns to Joey, "What should we do about that?'' he asked referring to the new Emotionless.
Joey takes a deep breath and began to think and in a few seconds, an idea popped up and he orders Kylie to create special force field bubbles around each of them that can prevent them from hearing the Emotionless screeches and possibly protect them from the lasers.
"Won't we be able to hear each other when they're in the soundproof bubble shields?" Edytha pointed out.
"Good thing I got these!" Ozzy said as he brings out a hand full of earpieces, "They're special communicators, just put it in your right ear and we'll be able to hear each other through communication and we can also contact the others through them," he explained as the Witches got an earpiece each and put them in their ears.
Joey explained to them that they'll be doing a Pincer movement and once the target's in range.
The Emotionless then charges towards them in great speed which prompted everyone to strike at the same time and it worked as the Witches in the front uses their shields to block the Emotionless' laser beams and while it was preoccupied, Joey and Ozzy blasted the Emotionless with Ozzy pointing his Shotgun as it was wreathed in a fiery aura, "SOLAR BLASTER!" Ozzy yelled.
Joey then pointed both his Disruptor and DoubleStrike as they glowed blue and hummed with energy, "TRIPLE FIRE STRIKE!" he yelled as three blasts of blue energy combined with a beam of solar energy made its way to the Stealth Bomber-Emotionless, destroying it in the process.
After the destroying every Neurois in sight Hikari slowly goes to Joey, "Umm... Joey... are you all right?" she asked.
As she touches his shoulder and suddenly like a blur, Joey gives Hikari a tight hug taking her by surprise, "Yeah... I'm alright... I just need a hug." Joey replied in between pants as Hikari blushed a bit but returned the hug nonetheless.
"Heyyyy! Let, me get a hug too!" Kylie chimed as she joined in the hug but she gave her older twin and Hikari a bone crushing hug.
"Gurk! Kylie you're crushing us!" Joey exclaimed.
"Shut up and let us join in Commander, we need a hug too!" Ozzy said as he and Suzie joined in the group hug. "Hey! Make it worse and you'll not only crushing me but Hikari as well." Joey grumbled but they just continued with the group hug as the other witches watches them with a smile.
bzzzttt...
After the battle, everyone are gathered around back at the hangar while they watch Tomomichi and Horace placed the immovable Mahiru on a stretcher, and much to the Witches' and Kylie's horror, Mahiru's eyes are half open which clearly shows her orbs that is devoid of life.
"What will happen to her?" Georgette asked in concern.
"According to Marcus, Mahiru is now free from any control but since she's nothing but a living doll, and without anyone controlling her, she cannot move nor speak." Eddy explained much to the Witches' horror.
"Is there anything we can do to help her?" Sadako asked.
Arinah shook her head, "None as of now but we'll do anything we can to help her get back on her feet." she replied.
"But we can't promise anything." Rex quipped with a grin look.
Joey then turns to Marcus whom is staring at Mahiru, "General..." he called, "Is there's something the matter?" he asked.
Marcus didn't reply, instead he slowly looks up, "I'm surprised to actually see you here..." he spoke, "... Summoner." he said.
To everyone's shock and surprise, they saw the Summoner sitting on top of a pile of wooden boxes with her eyes set on Marcus.
"You?!" Malvina harshly called.
"That's... the Summoner?!" Ozzy pointed out in shock.
"What is she doing here?!" Yoshika asked in shock.
Suzie glares at the Summoner, she was about to pull Yorukaze out however she saw Marcus' hand is up, telling her and everyone to stand down which they reluctantly obeyed.
"What are you doing here, Summoner?" Marcus asked, "Here to take back what's yours?!" he said referring to Mahiru.
The Summoner shook her head, "No, she's all yours. I just came for a small talk." she replied.
Joey, not wanting to hear any of her rant, decided to ignore Marcus' small orders and decided to fire a giggle dart at the Summoner, however the dart was then caught by Marcus, using only two fingers much to his surprise.
"I told you to stand down. I understand that you don't wanna hear what she wants to say but she is TALKING to me. So I appreciate that you refrain yourself from attacking her." Marcus chastised calmly without looking at him, "So... what is it you want to talk about?" he asked to the Summoner.
"Simple... I want to settle things with you and your rowdy bunch." the Summoner replied while referring to Marcus' team, "You guys has been fighting my creations for quite sometime now and I'm believe it's about time we finally settle things in a huge battle." she suggested.
"For what stakes?" Marcus asked.
The Summoner gave him a smirk, "You already know that." she replied making the douchebag snort in response.
"I see..." Marcus said before lifting up four fingers, "Four weeks. Four weeks from now, my team and your group, at the Junkyard Planet, we're going to war against each other." he said, "Everything... will end there!" he declared.
The Summoner let's out a giggle, "That's what I like about you." she said, "Then everything is settled!" she proclaimed.
"Anything you wanna add?" Marcus asked.
"Nothing much... though there is one thing that I wanna do." the Summoner replied as she made a jump in front of Marcus and did something that made everyone gasped in shock and made both Malvina and Arinah's blood boil.
What did she do? Well... she planted her lips to Marcus'.
The Summoner then broke the kiss and let's a satisfied smirk, "That's payback from last time." she said before jumping inside the red portal as it vanished.
Marcus let's out a smirk, "That rascal." he mused.
"GRAAAGHH!" Malvina screamed in anger, "That bitch! How dare she place her lips of my Marcus?!" she demanded as Sasha holds her back.
"Malvina! Please calm down! That ape isn't worth getting angry for?!" Sasha exclaimed.
"What did you just say?!" Malvina snaps at her.
Arinah, meanwhile kept her composure but is still angry, "That wench... I am so killing her for what she just did!" she growled.
"Woah! Arinah... I didn't know you go in that territory." Gertrude muttered in shock.
"Dude... you really are, Brocon!" Luna exclaimed.
"I'm not a Brocon!" Arinah yelled in embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Gundula was silent but deep inside she was bothered when the Summoner kissed Marcus. This was noticed by Edytha.
"Gundula... what's wrong?" Edytha asked.
Gundula looks away, "Nothing... it's nothing." she replied much to Edytha's confusion.
As the Witches tries to calm down the angry Malvina and the infuriated Arinah, Marcus was put in a headlock by Bow and began to give him a noogie while the rest decide to move out of the hangar. Meanwhile, the Mississippi Gang can only watch them in awe.
"Looks like they're going to be busy in the upcoming weeks." Ozzy mused, "Still surprised that Marcus manage to get that girl to like him." he said referring to the Summoner before turning to his female friends, "I hope the two of you never falls for his charm... if he has one." he stated.
"Don't worry... douchebag are not my types." Kylie replied with a cheerful smile.
Suzie looks away, "I only see him... as a father." she said.
Ozzy stares at her weird, "Seriously? A father..." he said in disbelief.
Joey meanwhile stayed silent as he comprehends everything that happened to him from the past days.
bzzzttt...
Meanwhile, back in the Dark Cruiser, the Summoner returned and was greeted by a person.
"So... how did it go?" the person asked.
"Neinhart... everything is now settled." the Summoner replied.
Former Spriggan Member
Neinhart
Neinhart is a slender man who has a rather effeminate appearance, including long eyelashes and long, purple hair pulled into a ponytail, with a long, pointed face who wears a jointed green suit of armor over the top of a yellow frilly shirt. The chest piece is decorated with two purple rose patterns, as well as trapezoidal designs that run across the abdominal portion; the frills of Neinhart's shirt come up through the v-shaped neck hole of his armor, around which is tied a cravat. On each arm, Neinhart has pauldrons emblazoned with the mark of the Alvarez Empire, couters tied above his cubital fossa, and gauntlets that are also decorated with the trapezoidal pattern. Neinhart also wears plain, dark trousers, and on each leg are poleyns and greaves, whereupon the greaves are also decorated with with the aforementioned trapezoidal pattern. He finishes his attire with flower earrings, what appears to be green sabatons for footwear, and three pairs of white fur balls, each set located on his respective collarbone and his left hip.
Neinhart let's out a grin, "Great! Me and the rest, after all, have been itching for a fight." he stated.
"In four weeks Neinhart, in four weeks." the Summoner replied, "By the way, have you done what I told you?" she asked.
Neinhart then let's out a smirk as he brought up a broken camera drone, "Already done. Thanks to Normal, we found every cameras that Flux is using to watch over us." he replied.
"I had to admit that we're pretty naive to think that no one was watching us all this time. But now with that out if the way, we can move on to our plans without further hindrance." the Summoner said with a grin.
