(A/N: Ah yeah, we're back! We are this close to the end of the tunnel with this tale. For now, this chapter will be based the two OVA specials taking place between Season 1 and Season 2. By the way, there's going to be a minor moment referring to the events of Super Mario: Warper Genesis, Steven Universe Blackthorned, and Not Another High School Fic. I would recommend you have read those, but thankfully, it's not really required…)
Sekirei Blackthorned
Season 5 – Pure Engagement Arc – Episode 31: Take a Break, the OVA's are Here to Relieve You! (Part 1)
([Quest Announcement] - Gamer Ability/Notification)
(Bold text – Gamer text box)
Ryder had dragged himself out of bed and did not feel like playing the game today. He wanted a break today and had dressed a bit more casually wearing a pair of lime-green track pants, white black running shoes, and a white v-neck tank top. Ryder found a voicemail from Miya telling him she had breakfast hot and ready. With [Fast Travel], he was quickly sitting in Miya's dining room and noticed he was the only one here. Then again, it was pretty early in the morning. Miya came out with a big tray of food. A big bowl of white rice, miso soup, scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage.
"Good morning, Ryder." Miya said in a faux-sweet voice.
Ryder was scared as she put down the massive tray on the table and instinctively and wordlessly called up Iron Body. He was right to do so as she cracked a ladle over his head as she went from sweet to angry.
"I can't believe you! You nearly died out there!" Miya said clearly angry with tears flowing down her face.
Ryder pretended he was hurt, and he looked up into Miya's purple spheres.
"Miya, I know you're bad, and you have every right to be. But here's the thing, I was immune to electricity. I'm sorry, but I had to fool everyone that I had perished. The plan would not have worked had you all knew." Ryder explained earnestly.
Miya was still upset but calmed down enough to tell him to eat his breakfast. Ryder dug in and soon everyone else joined him. As the group ate breakfast, Ryder had connected his BlackTab to the television to project the news. The news had first started about the meeting that Katsumi II and Genevieve II was in to craft peace with other warpers. Then the news took a dark turn.
"In shocking news! A Blackthorn clan member…has been defeated in combat." Beerus said.
Ryder nearly choked on his food.
"The Deadly Outsider, Kenji V. Blackthorn, was viciously beaten to near death by the Amoral Ace, Jōshō S. Blackthorn, recently. According to sources, the fight was essentially one sided as Jōshō kicked the shit out Kenji. It was quite humorous." Whis said as they played footage of it.
Ryder facepalmed.
"I can't believe this!" Ryder said outraged. "Jōshō has a superform?!"
"What about your brother?" Minato asked.
"Ugh…Kenji. He was so lazy and acted like a modern-day Tom Sawyer. Still, I can't believe he hasn't kicked that lazy attitude!" Ryder said annoyed.
Ryder was worried for his brother but was upset at him for his laziness.
"Apparently, the beating was so bad that Kenji's in a coma." Beerus said. "Which led to his bounty dropping significantly."
Ryder, once again, nearly choked on sausage. He was even more worried about his brother hoping he was safe. Everyone felt bad that a member of the family was in such a state.
"Ryder, I hope my brother-in law recovers." Harley said sympathizing.
Being in a coma would make him an easy target for bounty hunters much to Ryder's. Turning off the news and unplugging his BlackTab, Ryder decided to take a chance and call Kenji's BlackTab. He left for the roof to do so with only Raven following. Minato and Rose had gone along but hid to listen it. It rang, but it was picked up.
"Hello…" A female voice said.
"Who's this speaking on the line?" Ryder said sternly.
"Megan Griffin, I'm Kenji's girlfriend." Megan said quietly.
It seemed that Kenji's BlackTab had automatically authorized Megan as a user for it despite that privilege only going to wives.
"I'm Ryder, his older brother. Please, how's my brother doing?" Ryder asked concerned.
"He's recovering slowly. His healing factor is moving slow, and he hasn't awoken yet." Megan said sniffling. "We're doing all we can to help."
"So, Kenji has a team?" Ryder thought.
"We've been trying to lay low, and we were on our way to see Ryker." Megan stated. "Because we also obtained a Metsu Emerald."
This was bad all around. My brother had gotten his ass handed to him, but one of his teammates saved him from getting killed. In the process, they stole Jōshō's Metsu Emerald and that teammate shoved Jōshō in a portal to an unknown world. Not only is Jōshō going to be hunting them down like a madman, but every bounty hunter will want their heads. 50 million in Warp-Credits would be enough for any person, and it doesn't help that Kenji being a coma makes it all too easy. Even if Kenji woke up, he won't be in fighting shape. He would need to go to Ryker as he's the best chance for staying safe. However, that could risk Ryker and his own team considering hunters would gleefully go there.
"Megan, I want you to head to SM-U256 and get to Katsumi and Evie. Look, it'll be risky, but I doubt any bounty hunter would be crazy enough to try to go here. Plus, Jōshō can't risk coming after you to get the Order on his ass. When Kenji's healed up, get to Ryker immediately. He has four of those Emeralds and it'd be best to leave that in his hands." I said to her.
"Thank you for your words, Ryder. We were going to straight to Ryker's, but I suppose your way is best." Megan said.
I ended the call and quickly called my mother. Let's just say, she was freaking out that her baby was beaten into a coma. Dad was pissed as well because apparently Uncle Kaneda was laughing in his face about it.
"Ryder, I'd recommend you keep doing what you're doing. We all keep as many bounty hunters off my child's back, so his crew can get to their destination safely." My mother said to me. "Kenji will pull though. By the way, we saw your battle on the bridge. Masterful work and technique, we're so proud."
"Thanks, okaasan." I said before she hangs up.
I look up into the morning sky and Raven put her hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry, Ryder. He'll be fine, hopefully." Raven said assuring me.
I hoped so. I returned back inside only to learn that today is apparently MBI's measuring day and all Sekirei are being called to neutral ground to do this.
"Ugh, I can't believe we have to go." Benitsubasa said with a pout. "They'll make us all stand around in our underwear being measured and everyone will make fun of me."
"Benitsubasa, don't be down. You're fine the way you are." I said encouraging her. "You're fun-sized."
"But look at all your Sekirei, they're all stacked!" Benitsubasa said pointing out Akitsu and Yashima.
Sadly, she had a point.
"Wait, isn't your special ability control of your body. Why now just direct growth your boobs?" Hai'hane suggested.
SMACK! Benitsubasa facepalmed in realization she could do that. But I pointed out that would take a long time, and, considering the fact we're in a war with MBI, now's not the time for that. Beintusbasa grumbled as everyone finished breakfast. My Sekirei, Minato's Sekirei (except Matsu), and Rose's Sekirei were off. Leaving us to our own devices for the while.
[For the duration of "Measurement Day", you can't summon your Sekirei to battle nor equip them. Swarms will be less likely to jump you.]
Minato and I got this message but decided to take advantage of a day off. Minato decided to visit Yukari, but I stopped him. I explained my call with Yukari, and he cringed in fear for his balls.
"I need I'll go home and lie down." Minato said weakly.
He was out and gone with [Fast Travel]. Not that I blame him considering Yukari's been crushing balls and hoping to bash the balls of who had Kusano. I'm surprised Yukari hasn't come yet, but I shrugged it off. I need something to do today. A few sidequests came up for me, and I had a litter to choose from. I could go to the mines, but I rather not go alone. I turn to Miya and I remember that she practically stays home that time around. Not this time! I boldly grab her hand.
"Miya, I think you need to get out the house for a bit. So, I'll take you out for the day." I said.
"Ryder, what a sweet gesture. But I do need to clean…" Miya said.
"Clean what exactly? Nobody aside from Matsu and barely Uzume has been in here, so I doubt you have anything to clean. Miya, you can't cram yourself in the house. Plus, where we're going, we're going to have fun." I said with a smile.
I think Miya took it the wrong way because she blushed and smacked me. I had to explain that we were going on a quest to the mines to fight monsters.
"Oh! I'm so sorry…my mind went straight to the gutter." Miya said nervously.
"Well then, I knew I may to make up for it. You're coming." I said as the bruise on my face healed rapidly. "Now grab your sword and get something other than yukata on so we can go."
Using my BlackTab, I materialized a new outfit over me while sending I had on into my virtual inventory. I now wore the Ultimate Turtle Hermit Costume. The inner clothing was black, the out part aqua blue and white down in the middle and inner lining, a black belt, black boots with aqua bootstraps. Miya came down in a purple track jacket and yoga pants with armor plating around her body and sword on her side.
"Lead the way." She said to me.
A text box pinged.

I hit yes, I clipped my BlackTab on my side. I also take out Espada out of my [Inventory] while keeping my SekiDex in there. As Miya and I were heading out of the door, I made the reminder to open that Mystery Gift I had gotten at the bridge earlier.
[BGM Cue: J Dilla - Life (Instrumental)]
Benitsubasa was already feeling uncomfortable. She was in line with the other Sekirei to be measured, and she was already feeling self-conscious as everyone in the MBI-issued underwear. Hai'hane put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"You shouldn't care about other people. Considering you can punch an island in half, you could probably mop the floor with all of them." Hai'hane said.
It was a bit of a motivational falsehood, but Hai'hane wanted to help her in any way she could.
"Easy for you to say, Ryder can grab your tits and have his hands full." Benitsubasa said with a pout.
There was a bit of blush on Hai'hane's face she remembered her first go with him on the train.
"Damn that was hot." She thought.
Behind was the rest of Ryder's Sekirei with Minato's group trailing behind. For the most part, the group had mixed reactions. Some fellow bowed, others glared at them.
"Well, look who is it. I'd figured you wouldn't show up." Lana said coming up with Cheryl/Carol and Pam.
"We should do. It's for our health." Musubi said innocently.
Considering there were few male Sekirei, most of them were already done and off to head home to their Ashikabi. As the rest were being measured, Homura was being examined in a separate room upstairs by Takami. Homura found it humiliating enough she had to wear the MBI-given underwear, but she had a bit of an evident bulge much to Takami's amusement.
"So, it has shrunk a bit in width. Guess, it was must have been your cells stabilizing. But still, can't you control yourself or am I too hot for you?" Takami teased.
Homura pleaded for this to be over with.
"Well, I can do your measurements, but we'll have to take care of you being all riled up. Matsu had shared with me her and Ryder's research on that." Takami said.
Homura swore she lit Matsu on fire when Minato's not looking. Even if she got a nice handjob from Takami, Homura was (trying) to stay mad at Matsu. She'd fail at that once she climaxed though.
[BGM Cue: Underground Forest Area - Kirby Super Star Ultra OST]
Floor 12. Ryder had simply taken Miya to the elevator to start them off on Floor 11 where he had fought Taeko the first time to continue. Floor 12 had surprised Ryder as it completely pushed aside the theme of Stardew Valley theme going for a more Kirby-styled dungeon. Thus, Ryder and Miya had to engage in platforming to combat the enemies.
"So, we're in the Sub-Tree Area. Interesting." Ryder said as he sliced clean though a goblin.
Miya was sweating a bit due to the heat of the underground jungle. Ryder discovered a treasure chest and found a [Gold Medal]. A text box explained that there were 60 treasures scattered across the "Majirute" floors. If all were found, a secret would trigger. To make it even easier, this was a team effort mission. Much to Ryder's surprise, there were 16 collected. He discovered that Chiho was in the mines far ahead and had gotten 15 treasures. He wanted to call out to her, but she left the mines.
"Damn, well might as well, look for my share." Ryder thought.
"Look out!" Miya said coming down with a high slash on a group of Waddle Dees. "You should stop day-dreaming."
"Sorry, sweetheart." Ryder teased as the duo pressed on.
Ryder had managed to find the [Whip] and [Crystal Ball] in chest hidden a small spring he was thrown into by a Poppy Bros. Jr. Of course, he sprang out of the water to kill it. Miya was hacking away at several Bronto Burts, only for a Cutter slashed at her armor. Miya noticed they were guarding another chest, but which she spun around to cause a shockwave to send her enemy flying. Ryder had come up to crack it open to find a [Star Stone] which vanished into his [Inventory].
"Man, this floor is huge, but I saw a pathway to the underground lake. We'll have to swim for it though." Ryder said noticing a flock of angry birds flying for them.
"Just great…I think we would be walking the whole way." Miya said unstrapping her armor off. "This would be too heavy for me to swim in."
While Ryder was wearing his weights, they were only in his armbands and in his boots. Ryder led Miya to the small spring as the two dived in which Ryker showing a glowing door at the bottom. Swimming to it, Ryder opened it to get him and Miya sucked in draining the spring. The two were spewed out falling into Floor 13's underground lake. The two surfaced and Ryder helped Miya out of the water onto the rocks. In the distance, there was a bridge when they were supposed to be. Ryder had found a secret path in the spring and for his trouble found some [Cherry Bombs] and another treasure, [Lucky Cat].
"Looks like we'll have to swim to get to that bridge." Miya said with a sigh.
"I can just fly us over." Ryder said wrapping his arms around Miya's waist from behind. "Hold on tight."
Ryder floated up holding Miya who was blushing and fuming over this.
[BGM Cue: Boss Battle A - Kirby Super Star Ultra [Soundtrack]]
[Incoming Boss! Look alive, Player 1!]
Out of the water came a huge whale that wore a sailor suit with a corncob pipe in his mouth to the confusion of Miya and to the mild shock of Ryder. The whale swatted the two out of the air and smack into the underground bridge.
"Ow…my ribs!" Ryder said in a bit of pain as he and Miya got up.
Ryder wordlessly used [Observe] on this boss.
[Fatty Whale] [Guardian of the Lake-Boss]
[Biography: A huge whale that moves vigorously to attack his opponents. Along with tackles, it can use water attacks to harm trespassers. He must be defeated in order to access the next floor ahead. (Defeated by: Chiho) (Due to your current power, this boss has been power scaled to be a challenge.)]
"Well, this is going to be a problem." Ryder said.
To add an issue, Zoras leapt out of the water to attack him and Ryder. Didn't help that those Zora would sneak a hit and run away into the water. Ryder had the sleeves to his outfit ruined thanks to a sneak slash attack from a Zora. Of course, that Zora did not get away as Ryder snapped its neck. Miya impaled the one that sliced her track jacket leaving her in just her sports bra.
"That jacket was Waterflower custom!" Miya said ripping her sword out of the Zora she impaled.
"Sorry about the jacket, Miya." Ryder said as Fatty Whale came out of the water to spew smoke at them.
The two jumped into the air and Ryder could see Fatty Whale taunt them. That's when Ryder had a realization and mentally kicked himself for not just doing that.
"[1 Billion Volt Vari Ball]!" Ryder said as electricity sizzled around him.
Ryder concentrates a high amount of energy in his left hand and creates a mid-sized, sparkling blue-colored energy sphere by turning his palm upward. Fatty Whale had leapt out of the water.
"Perfect." Ryder said to himself.
Ryder slams the sphere with his open right hand hurling the energy sphere right into Fatty Whale's face. The electrical explosion sends Fatty Whale hurdling into the rocks adding lacerations to the electrical burns. Fatty Whale tumbled into the water still alive and the Zoras were happy to strike. Miya and Ryder stood on the bridge swords at the ready.
"All right, Miya. Let's end this, together!" Ryder said powering up to [Super Saiya-jin 2].
Miya took this as incentive to go all out with body glowing a fierce purple. The two had gotten in sync and leapt into the air. Using ki on both their blades, they made it rain slash attacks on all on that lake at such a speed that the water in that lake ran red with whale bubbler and blood. The pair descended to the bridge both returning to their "base" forms and sheathing their swords.
[BGM Cue: Underground Forest Area - Kirby Super Star Ultra OST]
A trophy made of gemstones of Fatty Whale appeared on the bridge which Ryder took up.
[Fatty Whale Trophy – Accessory – Proof you beat Fatty Whale! Can be used as a decoration for your secret base. It's made of lapis lazuli and aquamarine!]
The trophy vanished in Ryder's [Inventory] as a new door appeared on the other end of the bridge.
"We're on our way." Miya said as the two walked on.
[BGM Cues: Lesky & Phlocalyst – LWTL]
Minato was in the West Safehouse with Seo playing a round of Super Smash Bros. on Minato's old Nintendo 64. Coming in through the front door was all the Sekirei with the exception of Homura.
"We're back." Musubi said plopping on the couch. "What are you two up do?"
"Smash Brothers. Ah…damn it!" Minato said as Seo hit his character with a Bob-omb.
Seo did a little victory dance, and Akitsu asked where Ryder was. Minato pulled up the game menu.
"It seems he's on a sidequest on his own." Minato remarked. "I don't know when he'll be back."
"My bond with him is still present, he's rather content." Raven said.
"Well, mind if I join the game?" Yashima asked sitting down next to Minato and Seo.
"Sure, I got two more controllers." Minato said pointing over to the other two unplugged controllers.
"Well, if you are to play video games, I will bask in the sun's rays." Starfire said tossing off her clothes not concerned that everyone's here.
Rose looked down at her boys and had a grip on Kinmichi's balls to which he let out a whine of pain.
"Friend Raven, will you come join me?" Starfire said to her bestie.
Raven sighed rubbing her face looking annoyed, but she had that small smile on her face.
"Why not?" Raven said following along.
The two left the others to their game. As for Kinmichi, he was in for blue balls.
[BGM Cues: Crystal Field Area - Extended - Kirby Super Star Ultra]
Floor 14 was the start of the Crystal Field, leading to a sub-set of crystal caverns. The two currently swimming through the underwater part of the cavern for Ryder to get another treasure. Ryder was careful not to use his electrical attack to fry Miya instead using a "lightning body" to phase through adversaries. Being an Endurion make using the stimulated abilities of the Goro Goro no Mi a bit easier. Entering the glowing door, they found themselves swimming up to dry air and small inlet with a treasure chest on it. Ryder cracked it open to find the [Cell Phone] making it six treasures found. Ryder plopped on the ground for a bit with a wistful smile on his face.
"Having fun?" Ryder asked.
"A little, but I expected a straightforward mine. Not all this…." Miya said with a small pout.
She and Ryder were in swimwear with their swords sheathed in sheaths strapped to their backs. Ryder wore black (three quarter) Bermuda swim trunks with an aquamarine flame pattern around the legs and light blue flip flops with hidden seals. His BlackTab still clipped to his side. Miya was in a two-piece bikini much to her chagrin as she did not have swimwear originally, so Ryder spawned something for her. The bikini top was dark purple in color going for a bandeau bra style. The bottoms were the same in color with the sides being held together by circular cufflinks. She also wore flip-flops laced with seals to make them more resilient. Of course, Miya was feeling iffy in the bikini partly feeling exposed. A few stray wisps of lavender from the top of the bikini bottom made it evident of the hedges not be clipped enough.
"But you are having fun?" Ryder asked.
"I won't lie though. This was a pretty thrilling mine, and the water felt good on my skin." Miya said in a low tone enough for Ryder to hear.
"Well then, adventure awaits!" Ryder said as he tossed Miya into the water diving in after her.
It would be awhile before reaching the next part of the cavern where they did not need to swim. Out of his [Inventory], he got on his Shadow Dragon trenchcoat carrying his sword at his side once again. He gave Miya a pair of jeans to put on for them to keep going. It would be down that path they came a pair of Wheelies. Ryder had an idea and tackled one. It took him a minute to get on top, but when he did, a Gray and brown biker helmet appeared on his head.
"Wicked, it's just like the games. We can ride these things." Ryder said revving the handlebars.
The Wheelie had transformed being enveloped by Ryder's energy into the Rex Wheelie, a larger Wheelie Bike, with a more aggressive fascia, which resembles the mouth of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Miya did not get the games reference but got on top of one which transformed into a similar bike. Miya even got the helmet as well.
"Let's ride!" Ryder said as the two jetted down the cavern.
With the Wheelies, they were fast enough to ride over water allowing them a faster way ahead. In the process of racing up a river, Ryder got his seventh treasure, the [Power Paintbrush].
[Hidden objective completed!]
Ryder did not notice the text box as he and Miya were racing through the cavern running enemies off the road with their speed. They ended up going down to Floor 15, where Ryder noticed the alert that a boss was coming. The duo came to a stop within a massive arena. The boss was a pair of text boxes visible to both Ryder and Miya resembling a modern Windows OS to which Ryder called up [Observe].
[Battle Windows/Computer Virus EX] [Guardian of the Crystal Sub-Areas]
[This boss is an ironic parody of RPG games, but due to the rise of Gamer fanfiction, this boss is now even more dangerous now more than ever. As in it's coding has five previous gamers from other worlds. (Defeated by: Chiho) Take into account that you are Player 1, this boss will be much harder for you. Good luck and try not to get your ass kicked.]
"Well this isn't a good sign." Ryder said.
[Welcome challengers to Battle Window's Arena! If you want to move forward, you must survive my onslaught!]
The text appeared dramatically as the first opponent was materialized. Harry Potter, but Ryder hastily put a hole in his head with his electrical powers. The second opponent was not so easy. Monkey D. Luffy had materialized and Ryder sighed know he'd have to beat this one to the ground. Then it got worse, joining Luffy was Jaune Arc, and Naruto Uzumaki!
[BGM Cue: Dragon Ball Z: Budōkai Tenkaichi 2 - "Gatebreaker"]
[Luffy has enter Gear Third state! Naruto has entered Kyuubi State 3-Tails! Jaune Arc has power up…he doesn't have a cool transformation.]
"Miya, don't hold back at all!" Ryder said powering up to [Super Saiya-jin 2] once again.
"Would not dream of it!" Miya said as the two charged.
(Ryder vs Luffy and Naruto)
Ryder had to dodge Luffy's giant rubber fists and he realized that Luffy was able to keep the form indefinitely. Grabbing one of his fist to interrupt a Gigant attack, he swung Luffy into Naruto before blasting them both. Using his "electric body" technique, he was able to let shuriken and kunai pass through his body harmlessly. However, if he was to beat Naruto, he had to off Luffy first.
"Of all things. I can't even convert my ki into haki." Ryder thought. "Theoretically, my ki could harm him either way, but I need a killing blow."
Ryder leapt out of the way to dodge a Rasengan only to get caught in Luffy's grip. Ryder could phase through it and was punched into the air. Luffy had transformed to Gear Fourth's Bounceman variant and used Shave to hit Ryder were a barrage of blows. Some Ryder was able to block, and the rest Ryder had to tank. Then came the Odama Rasengan sent Ryder onto the dirt.
"Gomu Gomu no Kong Organ!" Luffy said bouncing high into the air over Ryder.
"Oh fuck." Ryder said quietly.
After compressing both fists into his arms, Luffy moves his arms vertically down in a rapid fashion before releasing a flurry of heavy punches down on Ryder. Ryder's retort was to do the same, throwing punches rapidly to try to match blow for blow.
It may have been stupid at first, but I electrified my punches to try to give them more speed to match. I could match Luffy, but I did not have the power to make impact. It did not help that Naruto kept sneak attacking me with different jutsu. Thank the electric body for letting the rock bullets, rock staves, and exploding clones phase through my body. I looked up at Luffy who had no intention of stopping. I needed to do something! I thought for a moment, and I had another dangerous idea.
"[Super Kaio-ken 2!]" I said as the crimson came over my body.
A text box flashed up.
[You'd unlocked Super Kaio-ken: The primal proto-form that predates Kaio-ken Blue. A combination of the Super Saiyan transformation and the Kaio-ken technique. At the current state, you are at the strength level x4. However, be warned, this state is almost impossible or rather lethal, because the intense emotional turmoil caused by the Super Saiyan transformation would not allow precise ki control to survive the technique.]
Well shit! I need to make this count because I can feel my body in pain from using this technique. Using Kaiwarmi, I swap myself with Naruto to let him take a pounding for a while.
"[Super Kaio-ken 2 times 3…no screw it, four!]" I said as I feel the raw energy surge within me.
[Power Level is over 900,000!]
Really? This boss is resorting to an old meme. Well, at least it's not Ugandan Knuckles.
I charged at Luffy and roundhouse kicked the rubber bastard as he realized I was not the one he was punching to death. Then, I give him a close combat barrage striking hard and fast before using Warper's Will to send him crashing into the text boxes. It seemed the boss was getting desparte unleashing a horde of former gamers after me and Miya.
"Miya, get to the edge of the arena! I'm going to finish this!" I said bracing myself.
Miya had beheaded Jaune, before leaping back to the upper areas of the arena. I charged up and fired several energy spheres randomly into the air near the base of ceiling, disregarding the enemies at first.
"What are you doing, we're down here!" Ruby Rose screamed out.
"Don't care." I said using my ki control to keep those multiple energy spheres are suspended in the air. "Because I'll got a special delivery."
I think Naruto got the point because he was trying to run.
"Hellzone Grenade: Acid Rain!" I said waving my hands downward making it rain ki bullets which explode on contact.
To put it bluntly, in the end, the arena was complete ruins. Miya had survived, but I would learn later she had to go all out to block just one of those blast to redirect it. The arena was littered in corpses when turned into ash. I felt drained, and I fell out of the air transforming back to normal in the process. Miya had caught me, and we looked to Battle Windows.
[Incredible. You overpowered me….I admit defeat. You have won for now. But can you defeat the next boss?]
The text boxes closed themselves down before leaving a trophy in the form of a Super Nintendo.
[Battle Windows Trophy – Accessory – Proof you beat Battle Windows! Can be used as a decoration for your secret base! You can also pay 10 SNES pre-downloaded on it.]
It vanished into my [Inventory], and Miya berated me for pushing myself too hard. I chuckle. My body was in utter pain, but it was totally worth it.
[Bonus objective completed!]
Heh.
"Well, you had enough for one day. Let's get you home." Miya said still holding me bridal style.
"Fine, queenie." I said.
The elevator to the top floor was visible and the ting sounded up meaning it was a save point. Miya carried me into the elevator and we were returned back to the top floor.
[BGM Cue: Kenichiro Nishihara – Kingyol]
Gus looked at the two weary fighters as they were back in the guild and asked if they enjoyed themselves.
"It was a wild set of challenges down there! I'm ecstatic to go back!" Ryder said not able to get on his feet.
He was healing, but he still in no state to fight. Miya could only mirthfully chuckle at his optimism.
"The mines were bigger and more detailed than Ryder said they were." Miya said. "How do you even have mines that deep with all those beasts down there?"
"That's another secret of this world, Miya." Gus said with a wink.
Ryder and Miya had changed once again back into the clothes they had went they entered in (except for the track jacket Miya had) and left.
"Well, we were in for a while. The time's already about 1 in the afternoon." Ryder said looking at his BlackTab. "How about lunch? My treat."
[BGM Cue: J Dilla – Life (Instrumental)]
"Why do you spoil me so much?" Miya asked. "Shouldn't you be spoiling your girls?"
"I could, and I do. But you're all on your own. I want to branch out as even though I moved out of the Maison, I don't want to leave you in the dust, Miya. It's why I'm not afraid of your glare." Ryder confessed.
Miya was honestly worried about Ryder despite everything.
"You don't know what baggage I carry." Miya said in a low tone. "It's deeper than you could handle."
"Miya, I'm pissing off a man rich enough to own most of Japan, has America by the balls, and had his hands-on aliens with superpowers. Considering, I put their star player out of commission. I get your husband was involved, but what could you even have that could surprise me?" Ryder asked.
[Music Ends]
Miya had to admit that he had a point. If anything, her problem was smaller compared to fighting the corporation that caused it. Miya was tempted to say something more but did not. The two had a quiet lunch out before returning to the safehouse in the West. By then, Homura was returning home as well looking drained. Ryder had [Fast Traveled] himself and Miya back to Maison Izumo.
"What a trek that was. I suppose it was better than staying home." Miya said warmly.
"And you got some exercise out of it." Ryder said teasingly. "I need you in fighting shape."
"Humph, I was always in fighting stance." Miya said confidently.
She did not expect Ryder to wrap his arm around from behind whispering into her ears, "Oh no, you weren't all there."
Miya went beet red as he could feel his heat off his body.
"You're a lot tighter in around your stomach then you were back then when we first fought." Ryder said in a breathed whisper.
Miya could swear she felt something poking her backside.
"That better be your sword." Miya warned.
"Oh, it is all right." Ryder teased before breaking away.
He left Miya and returned for the safehouse. Ruffled, Miya bolted inside. Ryder had actually told her goodbye and apologized for "poking" her, but her mind "translated" it to another tease. Miya plopped down on her bed in her room.
"Ryder's too nice for his own good." Miya said to herself.
Images of him in his swimwear came up in her mind before it went into the gutter. Miya facepalmed. She did care about Ryder and thought of the caring things he had done for her. However, that only made her feel bad. She remembered Matsu's words about confessing her feelings to Ryker, but she knew she would have to reveal some truths. Part of her hoped, he would figure it out herself. Miya dragged herself into the bathroom for a cold shower. She enjoyed the time she had today, but it was a reminder she would have to spill the truth soon.
I walked into the safehouse feeling great as my body was fully healed thanks to Kusano. He had been learning a skill in healing. I felt completely rejuvenated, and it seemed my quest was done.

-Hidden objective- (Failed)
Quest Ranking: A
I missed one, but the Super Saiyan 3 reward was well enough for me not to care. The transformation that rocked the Earth was my hands. So, I did what any gamer would do the moment they got a new item to use, abuse the hell out of it for kicks! I ran out the door and flew into the air.
At one of MBI's Labs, Karasuba's body was still heavily damaged from the combined might of the North Dragons, but she was finally awake being hugged by a teary Natsuo who was just glad to have her awake.
"How bad am I hurt?" Karasuba asked.
"Most of your bones were broken, your spine was ruptured in the fall, and saltwater got into your lungs choking them." One of the doctors said. "If those two scientists handn't used what was left of Metal Yumi into fix your legs and your eyes, you'd be in a wheelchair and blind in one eye."
"What?!" Karasuba said forcing herself up. "What about my sword?"
"Lost." Natsuo said. "But I promise I'll get you a better one."
[BGM Cues: OMM OST - 02 Get Smashed (Ryder's SSJ3 Theme)]
The building began to shake violent as Natsuo fell on his ass, and Minaka was in a panic. Takami looked up to see a glowing golden ball in the sky sparking with energy. Whatever it was, it was causing the earthquakes, the seas roared, and cracks in things. It seemed that the entire world was rocking about, and Takami saw Minaka panicking like a madman.
"Miya's snapped and she's going to kill us all!" He screamed.
"But that's not Miya." Takami said with her eyes widening. "If it was, the alarm would have gone off."
They had an alarm specifically for when Miya or any of the first five went all out like that. The golden sphere grew larger and its waves could be felt across the multiverse. Warpers were paling in fear and a few in nearby verses ran for the hills. In that glowing sphere was Ryder going through the steps to achieve [Super Saiyan 3]. His golden hair was forcibly growing longer as Ryder was pumping the newfound rush of energy. He held it in before letting out a final shout which released a blinding light. Because Minaka was wearing glasses, his eyes were burning. Takami closed her eyes before opening them to see the transformation was complete. There Ryder stood. His golden hair became flowing and smooth again and grew down to his waist. His hair color was a darker and more yellow shade of gold, the eyebrows vanish completely making the forehead, and his eye ridges appear larger revealing a more prominent brow ridge. Ryder cracked his eyes open.
[Music Ends]
"I feel incredible." Ryder said floating up further up into space.
Takami stood dumbfounded by this and smartly decided to go get a drink. Minaka wanted answers to why it all suddenly stopped, but Takami wanted to forget. In space, Ryder decided to try out his power.
"KAAAMMMEEEE" Ryder said preparing the classic attack.
On Earth, the rest of the North Dragons and Miya were sensing the insane amount of energy Ryder was generating.
"HAAAMMEEEE" Ryder said as a blue energy sphere formed between his hands. "HAAAAA!"
Ryder unleashed a Kamehameha not expecting the beam to be so massive. The beam mashed a chuck off Uranus before the beam went into space.
"Jeez, a bit overkill." Ryder said panting a bit.
Using [Kai Kai], Ryder returned to his safehouse returning to his base form completely drained.
"Totally worth the pain in my body." Ryder stated before passing out on his bed.
The beam from Ryder had left his universe destroying plenty things in it's far before ultimately making a crash. However, despite this streak of good fortune, another player was slowly going in the opposite direction. Ryder had not noticed Uzume was scarce around the house today after her measuring.
-Status of the Players-

Ryder Blackthorn is the third oldest of the family of reality warpers known as the Blackthorn family. Leaving Earth Prime, he goes for the Sekirei universe not for heroics, but to get back at Minaka for abusing an alien species. Filled with secrets of the multiverse, he seeks to use them to his edge. Now aware of his heritage, he seeks to get even stronger than before to help aid his Sekirei. Him becoming a Super Saiyan has only made him deadlier. But what is his true potential? Awakening Shin Warper's Will has proven he's no slouch and can dish out just as hard as his siblings.

- 10th Level Warper – The highest level a warper can get, you can completely screw with reality and time.

- MBI's Terrorists are our Freedom Fighters - You actively fight against what Minaka stands for and actively proved you got the means to do so. Unfournately, you caused several deaths and wanton destructions. Ashikabi will be more willing to join your cause, but civilians will be wary of you. (Friendship Gains with Civilians not invovled in the Sekirei Game will be a bit more difficult.) (This perk will be lost once Minaka is "disposed" of.)

STR: 2
SPD: 4

DEF: 2
LUK: -10
Chiho Hidaka is a former heiress to a pair of doctors trying to cure incurable diseases. Well, they died, and she's got an incurable virus that completely screwed her out of her freedom and her money. Barely clinging to life, she brightens the lives of those around her.
Chiho's Perks
- Ill Girl – You're quite ill which completely ruins any chance of you increasing your stats. Despite this, it's easy to build relationships with others.
- Kindhearted – Your kindness can melt even the hardest of hearts…most of the time. (Easier to build relationships with others)
- Happy Despite the Raining Shit – Your luck sucks, but you're still smiling. Despite your luck being in negative numbers, it's negated due to your BON with your Sekirei. (So, in layman terms, but your luck is 0.)
- Covert Pervert – You do have perverted tendencies, but you are able to keep them well-hidden. Women (and some men) won't notice your perving gaze.
- Faded Mortal Coil – Your connection to your mortal coil is hanging in the balance. Your disease has severely weakened your coil for you to stay awake.
(Sekirei's stats and item did not really change)
