1.) Hey! Sorry to keep you waiting, but you can't exactly type out a story on your phone while flying on a plane (the stewardesses will glare daggers at you if you try). I know, excuses, but it's all I got. I did sorta warn you though.

2.) You may notice a few minor detail differences between the past chapters and this, like Diana's color palette and "Keiko's" full name, but nothing that really matters. Just a heads up.

Disclaimer still in effect

Enjoy!

Chapter Thirty-Five: Me, Earthquakes, and Tatami Mats

"Miharu," called out "Keiko Katsura", waving a hand in front of the frozen girl. "She" had just changed from Keima to Keiko right in front of the lesbian, who didn't seem to be taking it well. "Miharu? Can you please snap out of it!?"

"My lady... the lady of my dreams is a boy..." said Miharu, who slowly lied down on the ground and curled up into a fetal position, rocking back and forth to comfort her shattered mind. Keima sighed, and took off the brown wig, lugging it on his shoulder. She looked so pitiful that Keima almost felt sorry. Emphasis on the word "almost".

"See, I'm in on the game, Mercury," said Keima, noticing that Miharu wouldn't take notice of anything he'd say due to her wallowing up in her melancholy. "I need to talk to you. I even brought Diana with me." Keima pulled out Shouko from her hiding spot, a stoic look on her face. That look changed when her hair flared into a radiant shade of fuchsia, matching her piercing eyes, and a glowing halo appeared.

"Sister," said Diana, her index finger becoming bright. Kneeling in front of the curled up Miharu, Diana drew a few runes on her forehead using her finger, and instantly, Miharu was engulfed by light. When the light died down, Miharu's orange curls turned black, her eyes following the hair's lead. When she got up, she actually looked intimidating: sharp black eyes, a straight back, a no-nonsense expression; she was almost the opposite of the mischievous Miharu. "Why didn't you come out at once?"

"Because he hurt my Host's feelings, therefore drastically reducing my maximum output power-wise," said Mercury, pulling out a pair of glasses and donning them. She wasn't just the complete opposite of Miharu - she was the complete opposite of Keima's Mercury, the one from his dimension. Formal, attentive, and seemingly uncaring about her Host unless it directly affected her. "I wasn't sure if he was an agent for the other side."

"I can regain the love points later," said Keima, making sure that his back wasn't exposed to the new Goddess. "It's not like we need you at full power. Unlike back at home, where we were pressured by the sheer amount of people out for you, we can play it slower here. They won't attack us unless they're sure that they'll win, and with you two here, they'll be cautious. All we have to do is find out who the Archaic Hosts are before they figure out how powerful you two are. Any objections?"

"So all we have to do is lie in wait till they expose themselves," summarized the black-haired Goddess, tucking her arms under her bosom. "I approve."

"It's not as direct as I'd like, but I'll take it," said Diana, looking up into the sky. "I don't want Shouko to get hurt- whoa!"

The whole building shook. Violent vibrations raced through the school, spilling over many students and teachers. Keima's frail body was wracked by the sudden quake, and succumbed to it, falling gracefully onto his derriere. Of course, the Goddesses were a little luckier. With a snap of their fingers, the two deities managed to soften the vibrations till it was easy enough to stand before they could suffer Keima's fate. It didn't come without a price. The Goddesses seemed to be frozen in place, all their concentration poured into their task: keeping the building from having another fit. "A-An attack!?"

"Grh... a-an attack of considerable p-power," muttered a glasses-less Mercury, gritting her teeth. "T-The power is just so o-overwhelming. Which one of my 'Sisters' is the culprit!?" Keima got up, dusting himself off. He cupped his chin, contemplating the potential culprits. Ares is out of the question. She's just a little too... blunt with her power usage. Instead of making the foundations shake, she'd shatter them. Apollo and Hephaestus, who were both similar power-wise, would also fight them directly, through indirect means like the tiles on the roof or something. They were selfish beings too concerned with their overall health, and they wouldn't want to bring the building down on themselves. That meant...

"They're gonna collapse Fumizuki Academy, and are going to escape through an escape route made in advance," said Keima, his face paling at the thought. He whipped his head towards the two Goddesses. Putting down his PFP, Keima put on his game face: sharp glare, commanding aura, and a confident composure. "You two, what can Athena do?"

"W-What's happening!?" hollered Kanon, twisting so that her stun gun would have enough thrusting power to intercept the leg that had enough blunt force to snap a tree trunk half a meter thick in half. Electricity met flesh, as the assailant hissed and stepped back, showing no signs that a stun gun to the calf had actually hurt her. Kanon did the same, her back slamming against Haqua's. They were both showing signs of fatigue, sweat treading through the two faces. It wouldn't be long before they fainted out of pure exhaustion. "H...Haqua...they're t-too...much for us."

"Grh...I...k-know that..." Haqua replied. They were outnumbered four to one to the... inhuman creatures in front of them. That all that they could be called. They looked like Aoi, Sumire, Minami and Mizuki, but inside, they weren't. They were dark. They were corrupted.

They were Fallen.

"What do we do- gra!" cried the pink-ette, ducking Minami's thin leg. She swung upward with her taser, but was intercepted by one of Mizuki's meals, which somehow knocked back the idol's swing. Cursing, she jumped back, a foot flying to where her head had just been. It crashed into the reinforced cement wall with an insane amount of force, the foot sinking in to the wall like butter.

"W-Will we last!?"

"I have to stop the fight!" cried Keima, peeking out a classroom window into the hall where the fight was taking place. Haqua and Kanon were cornered, sandwiched between the Goddesses. Keima made sure to note that Ares/Yuuko wasn't there. That meant that all the girls there were Hosts- wait. There are four duking it out, while one's doing something only God knows. But there were only supposed to be four Fallen Goddesses. Was there an extra one? A forgotten one? Keima didn't have the luxury of time to figure that out. He had to save those two, before they were overwhelmed. "But how... Maybe if I..."

Keima dashed out of the room. In front of him were the backs of Aoi and Sumire who, with Minami and Mizuki's help, were boxing in Haqua and Kanon. He grit his teeth, and did one of the most idiotic things he had ever done in his life: he ran into the fray. Ignoring all common sense and logic that he was oh so infamous for using, he jumped head first into the fray.

He didn't have anyone else to rely on; no other pawns to use. Elsie was evacuated to the outside building by the staff, Shiori was with her, and Akihisa's friends were just human: they wouldn't be able to do anything. So instead of asking for help, he decided to do it himself.

Sliding under the arch Aoi's legs built, Keima stopped himself under Haqua's and Kanon's legs and slammed his right foot, he yelled, "Tatami flip!" Mats that weren't there before sprung up, encasing the trio in a pyramid of wood. A fist, a few acrylic tiles, some wall debris, and a surprisingly sharp carrot pierced through the mat, barely stopped by the friction.

When the mats fell, the trio was gone.

3.) I hope you enjoyed the story! Okay, update dates. The next TWOSK update will come on the 5th of July, while I think TCOGK will be pushed back, so sorry M***** K**** fans! I still have to watch the show she's from and get a little more familiar with her character before I can confidently write the next chapter. Maybe the 28th would be a good update date?

4.) EDIT: Never mind...

Have a nice day :)
