Lunar Antics – Final Confrontation
Jorondo opened fire and at equal speed to the bullets Yashako threw her knife, splitting several bullets in two and disorienting their fired pathway. Yashako vanished in a blur and appeared behind Jorondo in midair kicking her in the head, square and savagely into the ground. The concrete and dirt splintered upward in a three-metre radius and Jorondo was annihilated in that single slam, her clothes ripped, her teeth bleeding and her hair dishevelled. Jorondo had been outmatched, and Yashako's overkill strength had seemingly come from nowhere.
"Noooo!" cried Renshin as he ran into the ruins to be with Jorondo. Yashako landed with a soft tap and smiled cheekily at Renshin.
"Thanks for bringing out my confident side." She said to him "Shall we continue our date somewhere…more private?"
"You're heartless!" cried Renshin, tears forming in his eyes "How could you do this to an innocent, pure and gorgeous woman such as-" Slam.
Renshin lay unconscious beside Jorondo, mentally and physically destroyed.
"That's the last time I sign up for a blind date with a Lunar member…" grumbled Yashako wiping dirt from her dress and stepping out of the disintegrated ground formed by her foot. "Next time I'll choose someone myself…maybe…Dolores..?" Yashako left out the back entrance to the private function space thinking about her ideal partner.

"The Val Sharks couldn't have tried to attack at a better time then!" said Laurie gleefully through a mouthful of jam on toast to Renshin, Shot, Jordon and Aquila who sat opposite him. It was the morning after Operation Restoration and the five had come to Laurie's MyRoom for breakfast and a mission debrief; or just breakfast in Aquila's case. "I'm still a little confused on the details, but mission accomplished! Good job Renshin, taking out both Jorondo and that Kazeru-looking guy…Nazenu was it?"
"Yes, that's right, and thank you Laurie" said Renshin awkwardly whilst glancing over at the very hungover Aquila
"We found Aquila unconscious" said Josh casually sprinkling pepper onto his eggs "We had to take a look around The Club for Renshin and Kazeru after we weren't contacted for an hour, and Aquila was just lying in the outside private event area, Renshin too but very badly injured. No sign of Nazenu and Jorondo…
"So Renshin beat both Jorondo and that Nazenu then, huh?" asked Shot suspiciously with a mug of hot cocoa.
"Yes, that's how it went down." Said Josh "but from their absence they must've been rescued just before we arrived, you saw the courtyard too, Shot"
"Well, I heard from L.J and a few other people I interrogated afterward that Yashako herself whooped Jorondo AND Renshin with next to no effort." Renshin had been sneakily shuffling away to the corner of his seat. "They all saw it from inside the club, also Aquila beat that Kazeru-looking guy Nazenu while Renshin cowered in fear after a single non-lethal hit." Laurie raised an eyebrow
"If that's all true then…Renshin are you lying…Uhhh" Renshin had vanished from the table and was nowhere to be seen in Laurie's room; also the cereal was missing.
"Well…The point is Yashako is much more confident now I hope, and that's what Red Bull wanted so our alliance can continue!"
"I BEAT KAZERU?!" bellowed Aquila reacting incredibly slowly
"No, an evil twin of him or something" said Laurie taking a sip of coffee moodily "I'm glad the real Kazeru didn't show up to pretend to be a Val Shark, that's what started this mess to begin with!"
"Exactly!" exclaimed Josh whilst putting bacon onto Laurie's plate in an attempt to calm him down "It was Kazeru's idea anyway…By the way where is he? We never saw him this whole time."
"I'll tell you what happened!" came the cracked voice of Kazeru, who approached the group in tattered clothes, blood in his hair and a limp in his walk "Some Val Sharks kidnapped me and tried to sabotage the operation! They sent in Nazenu to ruin everything and kill Renshin and Yashako!"
"Are you sure?" said Laurie curiously munching on bacon "Are you sure Nazenu wasn't just you all along…?"
The silence was deadly.
"WELL, Renshin and Yashako were safe in the end," he continued "there's no more loose ends to tie up so can we stop this stupid 'ARC' or whatever this has become so I can write something new?" and Manteppp agreed so the whole guild had a celebration party with the Megaforce with cake, snacks, meat and all sorts. Red Bull and Laurie shared a pint cheerfully and laughed loudly, Renshin apologised to Yashako who shrugged him off to return to talking to Dolores, her guest to the celebration party much to Renshin's shock. Kenshiro and Fabrico meditating peacefully to themselves, but being irritated by the others presence and Kazeru, Shot and Josh had an unplanned eating contest and excitedly stuffed their faces with warm bread, beef, strawberry pudding, soup, chicken drumsticks and much more all at the same time. The rest of the guild were all enjoying themselves to the fullest, even Aquila who had recovered slightly but was still incredibly tired.
When everyone had reached a level of tiredness nowhere near as bad as Aquila's they gradually headed off to bed one by one and Gillman took the Megaforce crew home by helicopter, with the exception of Mike who had brought a pump-up mattress and sleeping bag and wanted to stay the night. It had been a great Festival, Operation and Party, and with no doubt the whole affair had brought the two organisations of Megaforce and Lunar even closer together.
The End
