Ren lay on his desk fast asleep due to a long day of sorting out military reports. It had been around 10 years since the war started, everything had changed. The Inquisition was no more and all nations agreed that a religious party responsible for being judge and jury wasn't a good idea. So international laws where made to stop it from happening again. New laws where also introduced that all nations had to abide by, which included for the most part, slavery, rules of engagement and so on. All nations agreed as long as Chian who was making most of these laws had a free trade agreement with them about the technology they had.

While this was a two edged sword for the most part. Mostly because there was no grantee that the nation in question would honour this agreement. But if they didn't then they economy would fall and the nation would most surly not obey the laws. They had to agree to them weather they liked it or not. Since then there was little conflict other then the Ork raids that keep the local forces on their toes.

As Ren slept Maya and Junko peeked through the door. The two 10 year old's wore a simple shirt and hoodie respectively with trousers. Looking at each other they smiled before moving up to their father and placed a plastic blood spider on his arm. Before pressing a finger into his ribs and moving behind the door. Ren groaned as he woke and saw a red thing on his arm…

"AHHHH!" he yelled jumping out of his skin.

As he crushed the rubber spider under his foot the sound laughter met his ears. He stopped and picked up the spider and eyed it, before his eyes turned to the door.

The two girls laughed out loud but the sound of someone clearing their throat met their ears. They turned to see their father looking at them holding the spider.

"Wh..." he tried to say but didn't get the chance as the two of them ran with Ren chasing after them.

They where still laughing as Ren then caught Junko and began to tickle her making her laugh out loud for a good few moments before he grabbed onto Maya and did the same. The screaming and laughter made Falna come to see her husband tickle her daughter.

"So what did she do?" she asked.

"Placing a fake spider on my arm." he said still tickling her. "Scaring me half to death."

"HAHAHAHAHA." Maya yelled. "STOP DADDY PLEASE, I GIVE, I GIVE!"

Ren looked at her then to Falna before letting her go. "Ok now, homework. We have a big day tomorrow." he said..

"Awww." she said before turning to Falna. "Mom..."

"Your father's right. Homework." she said before turning to her other daughter. "Same for you Junko."

"Yes Mama Falna." she said walking off followed by a grumpy Maya.

"Where's Rinma?" Ren asked. "She was meant to keep an eye on them."

"She, went out with her boyfriend." Falna answered making Ren look at her blankly.

"Boyfriend? What boyfriend?" he asked.

OOOOO

Outside the castle Rinma rested up against the wall and kissed her boyfriend. Rinma had grown over the years, her tanned skin became more prominent as did her father's black hair. She had it cut short except for a long braid she had. Her eyes where a deep brown that brought out her features. At the moment she wore a black and white sailor uniform with a red 'HERO' backpack. Her boyfriend wore a similar uniform to her and had his bag on the floor. He was half an inch taller then her and she stood at around 4,6 quite tall for someone of her age.

Just then they broke their kiss and the two looked at each other.

"Same time tomorrow?" he asked.

"Sorry she has an arrangement." someone said behind him.

"Oh no..." she moaned as she pinched her nose.

Her boyfriend slowly turned to see Ren standing behind him in a calm rage.

"Ahhh, I was just bringing your daughter home." he said picking before picking up his bag. "I'll see you at school then, bye." he then managed to leave.

"What did I say about boyfriend's?" Ren asked looking at her.

"That 'I should not start dating until I'm 18.' But dad my friends have boyfriends." she complained looking at him. "You don't let me do anything I want."

"The time you went to that park? I let you have a games console..." he said beginning to count the times he let her do what she wanted.

"Ok, Ok..." she said.

"Look." he said making her look at him. "There are things that I will let you do, but I just feel that having boyfriends is wayyyy to early for you. You like me have got a higher libido and it's best not to act on it until you are 18. this is for your own benefit. Believe me when I say to ask about your mother's about every night."

"Dad… eww." Rinma said before she just sighed and nodded making him smile.

"Good, now what will improve that mood of yours?"

She looked at him and smiled.

OOOOO

"Ahhhh what?" Ren called out as Rinma began to dance.

One of the tech advancements that Ren was forced to give up was computing and programming. When people got their hands on this was gaming at this point this was around 90's style computers with a few differences. One of them was the ability to compute faster like 21st computers. But due to this technological handover Chian almost immediately began to advance faster for a few months before stopping. Cheap but reliable technology was readily available in both the mainland and colonies. As such videogames came out but they where more along the lines of 90's style games.

One of the games was a beat-em-up called 'Combat Extreme' a game that Celda mate with the help of a few of her friends. It was popular despite some of the glitches it has. It was based on one of the newer original manga's that artists had made.

Rinma jumped up and down while her dad looked at her with an evil eye. He jumped at her and began to go for her armpit's and began to tickle her making her yell out in laughter.

"Ahh sweet sweet revenge." he said as he stopped.

"Your one evil father ya know."

"Yeah I know." he said with a smirk as he took a seat on the bed.

"So, how was school?" he asked.

Rinma gave it some thought before talking. "Well, in maths..." she said with disdain. "we where handing out homework one of the more rich kids handed the teacher a blank sheet. She stated that 'I'm too perfect for homework.' but the best part is that when a test came round she failed, oh and I beat everyone in PE."

Ren smiled and leaned back. "I know what you mean, back in my old school some of the more pompous students did the same. Success breeds egotism and self-importance." he then looked at her and smiled. "Which is what I avoided with you and the others. Homework, not too much sweet and so on."

"Yeah, I hated you and wanted to run, but then I'd realise how much I miss you and mom."

With that Ren smiled and brought his daughter into a hug making her blush. "So, who's your boyfriend?"

She withdrew and looked at him with a red face. "Ermmm bbbbbuuuttt." she stuttered but the stare from her father made her look away and talk. "Well, his name's Hiko and we met in PE during martial arts. We sorta bonded and been going out ever since."

Ren just smiled and nodded as he stood. "Just be careful, and when you brake up with him come to me or one of your mother's, we're all family and here to help." he said before leaving her room.

Rinma just smiled. "I have the best dad ever." she said absently.

OOOOO

The next day rolled around, a large group of people sat at the docks as Ren and the family where preparing for an announcement. In the distance on three uninhabited islands stood three white towers with smaller red towers next to them holding the white towers up. They where a good distance away so that people can see them. Two screens on either side of the podium where there as well to get a better look at the towers.

A crowd had already began to mass around them and sit down. The place was widened to accommodate around 1000 people while the rest could listen and watch from the railings. The news on the papers radios and tv called for people to come to an event at Empire city. Diplomats and emissary had already arrived and sat higher up then other people. Mostly to allow for more space for everyone else.

Jenna's mother, Kilana was also there waiting for this news. Soon enough Ren, his wives and children came up to thunderous applause. Ren took the stand with Celda standing next to him.

"Lady's and gentlemen welcome to this event today. I would give you a speech, but I couldn't be bothered." he said gaining a few smiles and giggles. "So I'll let Nushi-Celda do it for you."

He moved allowing for Celda to take her place at the podium. "Ever since I was introduced to this technological advancement I was captivated, the majesty, the mystery the wonder it provided. I have learned a lot from it leading to me where it would go, if there was a limit to it. Today answers my question. The names of people who helped this little event have their names on the screen now as I cannot say them all."

As she said that, the screens showed faces and names of the people involved as Celda continued. "My role in this project is limited at best, so I can take very little of the credit. Today marks a historic event, one that we will all hear for years to come. Today we send a team not to the sky but beyond..." as she spoke this Ren spoke something into a radio.

"….. Today we send a team to space, TO LUNA!" as she yelled the towers in the back then took off into the sky as the screens switched to the ships.

Everyone looked up in awe as the three ships slowly exited the atmosphere.

OOOO

A few day's after the event the ships landed and the even was broadcaster on live tv. 15 people in space suits left the ships and landed on the barren rock and looked up at their world in awe.

"Wow." said the Succubus Capitan holding the camera. "Amazing, just beautiful."

"Too right Capitan." said one of the dark elf scientists.

"Aright people let's get to work." said one of the elven scientist's.

Everyone nodded and moved over to one of the ships labelled, Luna-1, and opened the cargo hold. Three of the team jumped up and brought out a large hexagonal plate and brought it down. They laid it down on the floor as two more came down with crates. As the crew emptied the ships some of the other crew used the modular system that was in the crates and created an airlock, motorpool, lab and living quarters. A solar farm was next.

With Oxygen magi-tech they could survive for a month in the spacesuit they wore. As for the oxygen generation for the base, it needed to be changed every 5 years because the effect of magic in space while useful can cause the magic spell to lose effect over time the bigger it is. But since they where working on long term plans they had something to make the machines and magic. Magi-tech was complicated because magic wasn't always the best thing to mix with tech.

After two days the first Luna lab base was made and the team said 'see ya' to the rest of the planet. This event only caused a space race and effort to beat Chian. Only one nation was keeping an eye on Chian.
