Chapter 25: In Which the Tartarus is Infiltrated

"Conspicuous. Do you know what that means?"

Dist glared at Asch, his eyes flashing.

"You convinced me to get rid of my Kaiser (so now we're defenseless) and you're still harping on my inconspicuousness?" Dist hissed as he and Asch stalked down the streets of Grand Chokmah.

"The fact that's we're 'defenseless' because you don't have a walking hunk of metal is sad," Asch grumbled. Dist twitched at the rude terms Asch used to describe his precious Kaiser Dist, and then noticed that they were passing the Tartarus II. Just as our favourite protagonists were stepping on.

"Why the hell are they coming?" Luke was whining.

"Well, Madeline has to come with me," jade replied calmly.

"And wherever she goes, we tag along," Aja added.

"I mean, why let Maddie have all the fun?" Chloe asked.

"And I HAVE to watch Nicole offend as many people as possible," Dakota added.

"Damn straight. Also, now I can tease Maddie about her BDSM fetish- "

"What!" Maddie squeaked.

Luke began complaining and everyone tuned him out.

"Come on genius, we're infiltrating that ship," Asch announced, grabbing Dist by his girly collar and sneaking onto the ship with surprising ease. (Either Asch is a ninja, Jade needs to hire better guards or the authouress is bending reality again. Who knows?) Dist grumbled in complaint but complied.

"Why are you complaining? Now you can stalk Jade all you want," Asch remarked, holding out a soldier's uniform for Dist to wear one they were on board.

"Well first of all, a fabulous man such as me should not be denigrated to have to wear such an ugly uniform-"

"Why should that-"

"And second, I do not spend all of my time stalking Jade; I merely wish to make him acknowledge me. If I stalked him, that would imply I have a romantic interest in him, which contrary to popular belief, I don't,"

Asch paused after Dist finished his rant, and then snorted.

"Whatever princess," Asch shrugged, walking off.

"Grr! This is definitely going in my Revenge Journal!" Dist seethed.

"Revenge Journal? Really, you actually have one Saphir?"

Dist froze.

Inuyoshie's after the chapter special.

Inu: That was short. OH well. I'm selling Revenge Journals.

Aja: … what?

Dakota: You can write down all the stuff tha pisses you off in them, and then you can plot out your revenge. It really soothes the nerves.

Chloe: How do you know?

Dakota: Because if it didn't, Dist would be an emotional wreck by now.

Jade: Too late.

Dakota: True.

Dist: Grr you all are mocking me!

Nicole: Brilliant deduction dip shit.

Maddie: At least we're not talking about your sexuality.

Jade: *sighs* For once. You young people seem fixated on that.

Aja: Or passing around yaoi. *droops*

Jade: Another thing you young people fixate on.

Maddie: Welcome to a fan girl's mind.

Inu: It's terrifying. I'd know, I have one.

Aja: Don't we all, don't we all.

Guy: What's that supposed to mean?

Chloe: Simple: Everybody has an inner fan girl.

Dakota: … everybody?

Guy: Even Asch?

Chloe: Yes, even Asch.

Asch: *twitches*

Chloe: Come on; embrace your inner fan girl Asch! Embrace it!

Asch-O: … you all disturb me.

Aja: Whatever you say Asch-o.

Asch-O: What did you just call me?

Aja: Dude, it's on your script.

Asch-O: *looks* Inuyoshie, I shall kill you.

Inu: Hehe… anyways, next chapter, In Which Asch Is Molested-

Asch-O: WHAT! *proceeds to maim Inuyoshie*

Chloe: See you all then~
