SSC Idenshi

"Kanbai!" Clashing their mugs together, the Soldiers of Izanagi celebrated their victory against Perfect Cascade last night with Calpis Milk.

Zanark was bandaged up and was unable to move very much because of his many injuries, but still participated in the celebration.

"Congrats on your very own Keshin, Itsuki!" Chappie smiled as he clinked glasses with the bartender.

"Thanks... But really? Celebrating during my work?" Itsuki sighed.

The bell on the door rang as someone opened the door. "Hmm, what a boring place..."

"Meia!?" Fei gasped.

"And me..." Giris smiled from behind Meia.

"Looks like you guys are completely recovered now." Yuuchi grinned.

"Thanks to you guys and Yukine-kun." Meia smiled.

Fei asked, "Who is Yukine anyways? Living in that weird place alone...?"

"He's a Second Stage Children, a special type like SARU." Nagito stated, "He has the R-idenshi within him."

"R-idenshi...?"

Giris fixed his glasses, "Special genes within a few Second Stage Children, that is called an idenshi. Meia and I are going to study that under Dr. Aruno."

"Dr. Aruno!? He's still safe?" Fei gasped.

Meia nodded, "After getting kicked out by Yukine-kun, that professor appeared out of nowhere and asked if we wanted to help with his research."

"Haha... sounds like him..." Fei laughed nervously.

"Anyways, have a drink guys!" Yuuchi smiled showing Giris and Meia to a seat. The two exchanged a quick glance and agreed.

"A-ra Zanark, never thought I'd see you in that condition..." Meia chuckled as she looked behind where the injured Soldier sat.

"Shut up!"

"Haah... What a loud group..." Delta sighed.

Itsuki chuckled, "yeah..."

"Hey, Itsuki! More drinks!" Yuuchi yelled.

"Sure..." Itsuki suddenly grinned maliciously as he mixed some tabasco into a mug and stirred it.

Yuuchi grabbed it and took a chug, "Hot!" He screamed. He took Fei's drink and drank it to cool his mouth.

"Hey...!"

Itsuki started to laugh hard and even the usually calm Delta couldn't help bursting out in laughter.

"Uwah... If only he looked into the mug before drinking..." Nagito grinned as she peered into the tabasco calpis filled mug.

"Nggh... My lips and tongue sting..." Yuuchi sighed as he tried to wipe his tears from his eyes.

"Yuuchi are you crying?" Giris tried his best to hold his laughter.

"Really?" Meia asked, cheeks puffed as she tried holding her laughter.

Yuuchi frowned angrily, took the mug from Nagito and stuffed its contents into Giris' mouth.

"Argh!" Giris screamed. Meia gasped as she quickly grabbed her glass of calpis milk and handed it to her boyfriend.

"See, hot?" Yuuchi sneered.

"You...!" Giris forced a smile.

Fei frowned, "Friendly, huh?"

"Oh yeah!" Meia realized, "Dr. Aruno wanted to talk to you two, Nagito and Fei."

"...us?"

After the party, the team headed towards Dr. Aruno's lab, led by Giris and Meia. The facility was hidden, so El Dorado wouldn't be able to find it.

"I wonder what he wants to talk about." Fei mumbled.

Nagito sighed, "I can guess."

Fei tilted his head to his side.

Meia opened the hidden door and invited everyone inside. The room was dimly lit, but it was possible to see the herbs staked on the shelves. The smell was also strong.

"Herbs are neatly organized, but everything else is a mess..." Itsuki sighed as he examined a beaker lying on the ground.

"Hmf, where is the Dr. Aruno we came to meet?" Delta growled.

"How rude, I've been here for a while." From behind Delta, an old professor stood, combing his mustache. Delta screamed in suprise and fell back onto her butt.

"There you are, Dr. Aruno!" Meia smiled as she put her hands together happily.

"Long time no see..." Fei nodded.

Dr. Aruno smiled, "Yes, Fei-kun. I presume you are wondering why I suddenly wanted to see you... Your Second Stage Children Powers, I have the antidote for it."

"Huh!?"

Nagito frowned, "I assumed much..."

"I have one for each of you, Fei, Nagito, well? Do you want it?" Dr. Aruno laughed as he showed two small containers with a blue liquid inside them.

Fei seemed unsure what to say immediately. It was what he wanted, to be a normal kid. But was it the time, now.

Nagito in the other hand declined the offer without much thought. But she added angrily, "What are you trying, Doctor?"

Dr. Aruno laughed, "Ho, ho, ho! Just fooling with you, Nagito-chan."

Giris put his hand on Fei's shoulder, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm... not so sure... for the coming wars, my powers might be useful... somehow, I feel that way..." Fei muttered.

Giris smiled, "Well, take this just in case." He handed Fei one of the containers and the other to Nagito.

"Its made with a special herb called a nagisa's pulp and a sekirock's dust." Meia explained.

"Don't need it. Won't work on me anyways." Nagito handed the container to Fei.

"Won't... work?" The green haired boy repeated.

Dr. Aruno cleared his throat, "There are two types of SSC; ones who got the DNA naturally, like you, Fei and ones who got the SSC idenshi planted into them on top of getting naturally; Yes, like Nagito-chan here. The second type are more powerful, but also the regular drug doesn't work on them."

"Idenshi... S-Idenshi!?" Fei thought out loud, "Wait, does that mean SARU...?"

Meia nodded, "SARU, Saryuu, still has his SSC powers."

"I see..."

"Good luck on your coming Wars." Dr. Aruno smiled.

"Nice fight there, Rujiku." Gamma smiled as he handed his teammate a towel.

Rujiku thanked him and was about to grab it, when the captain pulled it away.

"Just kidding, get your own." Gamma grinned.

"Of course..." Rujiku laughed nervously. He then got up to get a towel.

Gamma picked up a nearby magazine and started to flip through it, "Oh, so this is the rumoured Izanagi... I heard Zanark joined it after being defeated by them." The captain handed the book to Rujiku before leaving the room.

The dark green-blue haired boy's eyes widened when he saw a familiar face in the magazine's pages. He then let out a sigh of relief, "You're still alive... Nagito."

Next Avatar Wars

Next opponents are another team of Protocol Omega, Team Gamma! Seems Nagito knows the Guardian Soldier from that team, Rujiku, from the past...? What is the reason for her to avoid him? Next Avatar Wars: Fear of Pain.

Meia and Giris' Q & A Corner!

Meia: HI~ everyone, I'm Meia…

Giris: and I'm Giris.

Meia: Now that we've recovered from the poison, we would like to introduce you to this new corner…

Giris: Meia and I will answer various questions on this current era, technology, people and of course, the Avatar Wars.

Meia: So let's get started…

Giris: Avatar Wars started about a month after the Ragnarok started, but was planned much before. When we started to come out to the public as the Organization, Feida, it became too difficult to hold any Wars.

Meia: So that's when El Dorado decided to send Route Agents back 200 years; to take Soccer away. However that changed to just defeating us in the Ragnarok.

Giris: after extracting our powers and altering our memories, El Dorado was able to get valuable and powerful pawns for their games. Meia and I didn't realize this until recently.

Meia: But apparently Yuuchi remembered waaay before us… I thought it was so strange that such a successful Soldier would suddenly disappear like that.

Giris: AH, but that story will be introduced in a later Episode.

Meia: Yeah, of course, Giris! So if anyone has a specific question for us or anything about Avatar Wars, please review/PM question and we'll do our best to answer them!

Giris: Until then…

Meia & Giris: See you Soon!
