A soft knocking on the door woke Link from his slumber.
He grumbled, raised his head from Midna's soft shoulder and carefully moved her arm from his chest, so he could sit up.
"Whazza matter..." the Twilight Princess muttered sleepily.
"It's just me," Asuka whispered as she slowly opened the door and tiptoed into the room.
"Do you know how late it is?" Midna complained as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed as well, making sure the covers didn't slide past her chest. "All right, princess, what is so important that it can't wait until tomorrow?"
Asuka looked at Link. "I... I just came to say goodbye."
Link was confused. "I'm not quite getting what you are trying to tell me... are you going somewhere?"
"Yes," Asuka nodded. "My friends and I have to go... it's a long story, I'm afraid, and I don't have the time to tell it."
"But... but what about Hyrule?" Link wondered. "What am I supposed to tell the people when they ask me where their princess has run off to? Zelda or no Zelda, you are their ruler right now, remember?"
"I know that..." Asuka said. "And I am going for two reasons. First, I know that one of the people responsible for all these problems comes from my home world, and he is closely related to one of my best friends."
'Dangit, I hope Shinji never finds out I said that about him...' she thought.
"Okay, I guess I can understand that... but still..."
"The second reason is that I am, as you told me, the current ruler of Hyrule. And I decided to go on behalf of my people, no matter how much I really know about them or not. If the Subspace Army keeps on invading other worlds, no country will ever find peace, Hyrule included. And as long as there's a chance I and my friends can do anything to stop this... I have to go."
"Well, it's your decision..." Link frowned. "But I don't like it."
Midna sighed. "Let her go, Link... she made up her mind. And who knows, maybe she and her weird buddies really can save our worlds. Still... Asuka... if you go, there's something I'd like to ask of you..."
"Yeah, what is it?" Asuka asked.
Midna looked at her pleadingly, an expression Asuka had never seen on the Twili's face. "Please... should you find my people, the Twili, on your race... please tell them I am fine. And if there is anything you can do to help them..."
Asuka nodded. "Of course! I will do whatever I can. You aren't just a princess from a neighboring kingdom, Midna... you are my friend. I might have thought a few things about you I regret... but you are a nice person."
"True, even if you wouldn't think so the first time you met her," Link said jokingly.
"Quiet, or you'll sleep on the floor!" Midna growled. She looked back at Asuka. "Asuka... no, Princess Asuka... thank you! And I am sorry for believing you were responsible for, you know, Zelda's disappearance..."
"It's okay, I guess I would have been suspicious if I was in your place," Asuka said. "Well, I'm off... tell Elincia and Ike I'm sorry I had to go just like that. And Link... take care of everything in Hyrule while I'm away, okay?"
Just as she turned to leave, Link jumped out of bed. Both princesses were glad as well as a bit disappointed at the same time that the Hero of Twilight was wearing his pants.
"Wait... can't I come along to help?" he asked.
"Well, I'm not sure if you could really help me where I'm going... also, I need you to tell the people of Hyrule not to worry."
"She's right, Link," Midna nodded. "Hyrule already lost her princes... again... what will the people say when they notice that their hero is gone as well?"
Link sighed. "Okay, I guess you're right... but Asuka..."
"Yes?" she asked.
Link smiled at her. "May Nayru protect you on your way!"
Asuka smiled back at him. "Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it. Now you two play nicely, you hear me?"
"Leave already, you silly red-head!" Midna mock-growled and threw a pillow at Asuka.
Kaworu raised his head from his front paws.
"Saur..." 'Ah, I thought they'd never come...'
"Chuu..." In the big cat basket that was standing in one corner of the room, Misato rolled around. 'What are you babbling about, bulb brain?'
"Squirtle squir," Ritsuko complained. 'Go back to sleep, you two!'
The door then opened. Maya woke up with a gasp.
"Ivy, Ivysaur!" 'No need to worry, trainer, they're just here to pick us up.'
Maya looked at the blue-furred vixen that was standing in front of her bed. "R-rei?" she murmured.
Rei nodded. "Lt. Ibuki..."
"Ivysaur!" Kaworu shouted as he jumped to his feet. 'All right, get dressed, Maya... the ship won't wait all night long.'
"What ship?" Maya wondered. "How did you get here, Rei? And Kaworu, you knew she'd come? And what ship?"
"The ship of an ally," Mew said as she appeared next to Rei. "A noble man I managed to convince to help our cause."
Maya gasped. "I-it's you..."
Butterfree and Misdreavus yelped and dove down to the ground. 'Ho-honorable Pokémon...' Butterfree squeaked.
'What's the matter?' Ritsuko grumbled as she rubbed her eyes. 'All I see is a floating, pink cat...'
'Are you dense?' Misdreavus hissed. 'That is Mew... the origin of all Pokémon!'
"Please, no need to be so formal," Mew smiled. "And I'm afraid we don't have much time."
"She is right, Lieutenant," Rei said. "It is up to you if you want to come along... but if you want to come, we have to go now."
"Go where?" Maya asked.
"Long story," Shinji said as he stepped next to his sister. "But if you come along, you have at least the chance to get back home... and maybe help us to make sure we have a home we can return to."
"Shinji? Okay, now nothing will surprise me anymore," Maya sighed as she climbed out of bed. "But how could Kaworu know you'd come?"
"Who's Kaworu?" Shinji wondered.
"Saur, Ivysaur!" 'That would be me.'
Shinji looked at the green-skinned Pokémon. "Huh? I know you're not talking my language, and yet I understand you?"
"That's because you are a child of destiny, Shinji," Mew explained.
'So you are Shinji...' Kaworu said. 'I have heard quite a few things about you from my youngest brother...'
"And who is your brother?" Shinji asked.
Kaworu smirked. 'Pit, of course, who else? So, are you taking good care of my other Angel brothers?'
"Angel? You... you are an Angel?" Shinji gasped.
Rei looked at her brother. "Shinji, what is he talking about? What other brothers?"
Shinji sighed. "Long story..."
"Okay, you know what?" Maya groaned. "I'll come with you, and you can tell me every story you want, but at least give a girl some space to get dressed, okay?"
"You heard her, brother," Rei said and gently shoved the pink puffball through the door. "Let's wait for her outside. If there is one thing I learned from mother, it is that it's not polite to watch a lady while she is changing."
Mew giggled and floated after them.
Maya closed the door and sighed, again. 'Another trip to a world I know nothing about, I suppose... oh well, but at least I'll be with people I know.'
And then she wanted to slip out of her nightgown.
"Squirtle!" 'Maya!' Ritsuko hissed.
Maya looked up... and blushed when she noticed that everyone in the room was staring at her, including Kaworu and Kaji, who had a big grin on his face.
Misato smacked his muzzle with her tail. "Pika!" 'Pervert!'
Maya grimaced and opened the door. "Okay, out! Both of you!"
'Aw man, you're no fun...' Kaji grumbled as he followed Kaworu outside.
A few minutes later, Maya and Asuka met their friends on the balcony of Asuka's room.
"Nice to finally meet you all in person," Yui smiled. "I'm Yui Ikari, Shinji's mother."
'Um, aren't you supposed to be dead?' Kaji asked.
"Great, it looks like we're all together again," Shinji smiled.
"Not all of us..." Asuka sighed and thought of Hikari. "Not all of us..."
"Okay, everyone," Mew said. "One thing before we leave: Palkia and Arceus don't know that you are leaving this world, so officially, we are outlaws. But we are outlaws that are trying to bring down the real villains. And the first step will be to win the race."
"What race?" Maya wondered.
"More about that later," Manaphy said. "We will explain everything in detail as soon as we are aboard the ship."
"What ship?" Maya grimaced.
Navi smiled. "His ship," she said and pointed at a small, winged figure that was gliding through the night air, approaching the balcony they were standing on.
Shinji recognized him the moment he landed. "Meta Knight-sensei! We're going to use your ship?"
Meta Knight looked at his student. "Shinji... good to see you survived. Well, I couldn't possibly say know after this lady appeared on board of the Halberd and told me that my home planet was just one of many worlds in danger."
"What lady?" Maya nearly screamed.
The door leading to the dim conference room opened, and a towering, scaly figure entered.
"Sorry I'm late," Bowser said in his gruff voice. "My transdimensional drive wouldn't start up."
"Hey, if you can't be on time for a simple meeting, how will you be able to win a race?" Pico snapped from the other side of the long table.
Gendo, who was sitting at the top end of the table, simply frowned. "No need to start an argument. If you would let me, Gentlemen, I'd like to start this meeting."
Pico just nodded grimly and Bowser sat down in a massive chair that just barely managed to carry his immense weight.
Gendo looked down the table, into the faces of Bowser, Goroh, Pico, Weavel, Dread Kong and Gecko. Except for Dread Kong, they all looked a bit nervous under his glare, but that might be because of the powerful Pokémon clone standing next to him.
Naoko grimaced. She couldn't believe that Gendo would need any of this scum. In her eyes, the only ones who should be allowed to live were Dread Kong and Goroh, and just because they proved skilled - or lucky - enough to escape the battle on Tellius. Weavel was a coward who ran as soon as he noticed that his pirates weren't a match for Gendo's son and his allies. Bowser didn't manage to contain the trophies he had been tasked with to protect. Pico even had attempted to betray them by escaping with the money they had offered him. And Gecko... well, he was just a little boy in her eyes. And now he was the only member of his team left on Venom.
"You all know why we are here," Gendo said. "Our plans, while still proceeding, have been inhibited tremendously by the actions of these so-called 'heroes'. Tellius isn't under our control, we failed to acquire the Fire Emblem, the Fused Shadows and Lip's Stick, our Assist Trophy factory has been destroyed and we will be forced to give up most of our stored trophies in Bowser's Castle..."
"That's not my fault..." the Koopa King started to defend himself.
"No excuses! I know what happened. Still, not all of our proceeding plans have been uncovered yet. Our hired agent is still on the mission to retrieve Metal Gear, my dear friend Dread Kong..." He nodded towards the grinning primate. "Has managed to retrieve the Ocarina of Time, the Lylat System has been almost completely assimilated by my darling daughters, and Master Hand is still imprisoned. Most important: Palutena and Arceus still don't know about our plans."
"But what about Celebi and that annoying fairy?" Goroh asked. "They are still assisting their 'Champions' in their fight against our troops."
"They are nuisances, but we will deal with them in due time. Right now, the most urgent goal we need to achieve is to get the Screw Attack in our hands."
"A simple piece of Chozo technology..." Weavel grumbled. "We Space Pirates tried to replicate it over years and still couldn't find a way to use it."
"The pure power of its destructive attack makes it a useable Artifact of Destiny," Gendo explained. "But most importantly: Imagine what a war machine like Metal Gear would be able to accomplish with such a weapon installed."
Most of the present villains thought about it and smiled when they imagined the destruction.
"And now imagine what our little project would be able to accomplish with such power..." Gendo whispered.
"Well, I see why you would want that little gizmo," Bowser said. "My son and I are willing to take part in the race to win it back."
"Oh, really?" Pico huffed. "I've seen the sorry excuse for a pile of junk you call a car... do you honestly believe you are going to catch up with an F-Zero racer with that?"
"You don't know what Koopa technology can do," Bowser growled.
"Bowser's car, the Koopa King, will be upgraded with the engine of a standard F-Zero racer," Gendo explained. "Together with your own racer, the Wild Goose, and Goroh's machine, the Fire Stingray, we have three fast machines driving for us. But while good cars and excellent racers are a good thing, we won't beat opponents like Captain Falcon like that... not to mention those annoying replacement Champions that will likely show up as well."
He glared at Weavel. "I agreed to overlook your little act of cowardice because your army still produces some of the best weapons in the galaxy. I want some installed in the racers, is that clear?"
"N-no problem, sir!" Weavel nervously saluted. "My technicians will get to work right after this meeting."
Gendo nodded. "Good. Now, Bowser's troop will assist you by installing a few traps on the racing courses, such as flamethrowers, cannons and stone block traps."
"Thwomps," Bowser corrected him. "They are called Thwomps."
Gendo sighed. "Very well, but your opponents might be skillful enough to dodge even those... Thwomps. That's why we also need a skilled saboteur... Dread Kong will lead the mission, but I'm afraid his hands are a bit bulky to handle such delicate things like explosives... no offense, Shigeru!"
Dread Kong grinned. "None taken, boss! And besides, I would never exchange these muscles against delicate fingers." And he flexed his biceps.
Gendo's eyes wandered across the table, until they stopped on a certain, reptilian pilot.
"Gecko... you will accompany Dread Kong and help him plant the explosives."
Gecko gasped. "M-me?"
"Yes, you," Gendo nodded. "You might be surprised that I still trust you, after the stunt your partner pulled..."
"I didn't know about it," Gecko sweated. "Honestly! He just left without telling me!"
"I believe that he might be tricked by the traitor, Jeff Andonuts... we already put his father under custody right after receiving General Scales' message. I am sure the general will be able to handle the situation on Sauria... but that's not the point right now. I still believe in your loyalty to my army, and since the rest of your team is unavailable at the moment... well, I see no reason to waste your potential."
"Th-thank you, sir!" Gecko was overwhelmed. "I promise that I won't dishonor the trust you put in me! For my missing commander, and my obviously tricked partner, I will help as good as I can."
Gendo smiled. "Good! Now that this is settled, there's still one thing... my last trump card to ensure that we will win this race... Gentlemen, meet your last racing team member!"
The door opened again, and everyone except Gendo and Naoko winced when they realized that an Aparoid had entered the room.
Like all modern Aparoids, she looked similar to the original Rei Ayanami, only that she had the attributes of an animal, a grey-furred husky. She was wearing a skin-tight pilot suit (which almost resembled a bathing suit) over her fur and the mechanical parts of her body, and she looked at the assembled beings.
"Good day, everyone!" She then smiled up at Gendo. "Hi, Daddy!"
Gendo smiled back at her. He knew he had never seen this Rei before, but it was just natural that she saw him as her father... after all, she was one of the billions of sisters Rei-I had assimilated during her time as the new Aparoid Queen.
"Hello, Rei! Please, have a seat! For the protocol, will you tell us your complete name?"
The dog-girl smiled as she sat down (next to a nervous Weavel). "Sure, Daddy! I am Rei-BG, and Big Sister chose me to help you win this race."
"I know, and I am very thankful for having such helpful daughters," Gendo said. "Did you bring a suitable vehicle for the race? Did you leave it in the hangar?"
She grinned and shook her head. "Nope, my racer is in here." And she patted the patterned surface of her robotic torso. "When the race begins, I will activate my racing mode."
Pico, who was sitting across the table, gave off a snort.
Gendo frowned dangerously at the F-Zero racer. "Any reason to be amused, Weavel?"
"Well, yeah! I mean... just look at her! She's a freak... and a nutcase! Who has ever heard of a vehicle stored in your stomach? I say we don't need her. All we need are my racer and my superior skills as a driver. By the way, I simply can't believe that she and her ilk would ever..."
Gendo made a small hand gesture, and Naoko's eyes began to glow. Pico suddenly felt himself being lifted off his chair, and an invisible hand began to choke him.
"I find your lack of faith disturbing," Gendo said.
"C'mon, Daddy, is that really necessary?" Rei-BG asked. "I'm not offended, really. He just doesn't know better... he never felt the love of a family, that's why he can't understand me and my sisters." She smiled. "I think he learned his lesson."
Gendo nodded. "All right then... I won't object to the request of my dear daughter."
Naoko huffed, but she dropped Pico back on his chair. The green alien gasped for air.
"But I hope for yourself that this was the last outburst, Pico!" Gendo said sternly. "But be careful from now on... there won't be a blue-haired angel around to save you all the time."
Pico glared at Rei-BG. In his eyes, she and her sisters were half-mechanical devils... but since he valued his life, he stayed silent.
The Halberd rose up into the night sky of Tellius, leaving the castle of Crimea far behind.
Meta Knight lead his guests into the recreation room of his troops. "Please, make yourselves at home," he said, gesturing at the chairs and armchairs. "If you need anything, please feel free to use the intercom system. Now, if you would excuse me, I need to go to the bridge, to prepare the ship for the next dimensional jump..."
And he left the room, leaving the bewildered group behind.
Shinji looked around. "Pretty neat! I've been on board of his ship before, but he has never shown me this room. Look, they even have a billiard table, some pinball machines... and a fridge! Boy, am I hungry!"
"Would you stop thinking with your stomach?" Asuka grumbled. "We have much more important things to talk about."
"Yes, indeed," Maya nodded. "For one, I'd like to know where the heck we are going."
"We are on our way to meet the organizer of the race," Navi explained. "He is called Chaos, and he wants to meet all the participants on a small, desolate planet in the middle of space..."
"Can't you tell us a bit more about this race first, please?" Yui asked.
"In a minute... there are still a couple of guests I'm waiting for... ah, that should be them now."
The door opened... and Fox entered the room, a grin on his face. "Hello, everyone!"
Rei smiled. "Hello, Commander!"
"THAT is your commander?" Asuka wondered. "Well, that might explain your furryness... and I have to admit, he's an improvement, compared to our last commander..."
She bit her lip when both Rei and Shinji glared at her. "Sorry... I forgot..."
Since he was a gentleman, Fox walked up to Asuka (the seemingly oldest of the people in the room he didn't know yet) and shook her head. "McCloud's the name, Miss! Fox McCloud! And you are...?"
Asuka grinned. This was the perfect chance to brag with her new title.
"Princess Asuka of Hyrule!" she proclaimed.
"Um... not really, Asuka, remember?" Shinji spoke up. "We are just replacements..."
"As long as Zelda is gone, I AM the princess!" Asuka grumbled. "YOu got a problem with that?"
"All right, I think that's enough, children," Yui snickered.
"Yui? Is that you?"
"That voice..." Yui murmured. "Kyoko?"
The spherical drill robot waddled into the room. Her optics lit up when she saw her friend and colleague. "It IS you! Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one... when I heard that you managed to escape your Evangelion Unit as well..."
Yui stared down at her. "Kyoko... you're a robot!"
"So?" Kyoko tried to shrug, but that was difficult to do without any arms. "You're a skilled bounty hunter, as far as I heard, your son is a pink pillow and my daughter a magical princess."
"That... is your mother?" Rei wondered.
"Yeah... got a problem with that, wondergirl?"
"No, I am just... surprised."
"Analysis confirms: Mechanical construct carries an artifact of immense power inside. Scanning... Result: The possibility of a human soul being trapped within this robot is at 65."
Kyoko was surprised when she saw the other robot that came rolling into the room.
Yui smiled. "I'm glad you're here as well, R.O.B.!"
"It is this unit's duty to assist its current owner in any situation," R.O.B. confirmed.
"Squirtle squirtle!" 'How many people are on board of this ship?' Ritsuko wondered.
"Pikachu, pika!" Misato smirked. 'Well, you have eaten quite a few snacks on the party... so if the ship falls, we know who's to blame!'
Kyoko would have smiled if she had a mouth. "You... are Naoko's daughter, aren't you?"
The blue turtle Pokémon looked at her in surprise. "Squirtle?" 'How'd you know?'
"I already talked to Kyoko and explained everything to her," Navi said. "Including who is joining us on this little trip. Ah, here comes the next one..."
A pink, round Pokémon with huge eyes waddled into the room. It was accompanied by a Delibird.
"Wark!"
"Jigglypuff!"
Kaworu smiled. "Saur, Ivysaur..." 'Hello again, Aunt Lilith!'
Nearly everyone who knew that name fell over in shock.
"WHAT??"
"NO WAY!"
"How can this be...?"
"...unexpected."
"SQUIRTLE!"
Shinji smiled. "L., I presume?"
Jigglypuff nodded.
PenPen waddled over to his former mistress, who was now smaller than he was. "Wark!"
Misato looked at him. Then tears appeared in her eyes and she tackled the surprised bird to the ground. "CHUUUU! PIKA, PIKA, CHU!" 'You stupid, stupid penguin! Do you know how worried I was about you?'
Kaji smirked. 'Looks like someone is happy...'
"Jiggly, jigglypuff..."
"She says she is sorry that you were worried," Mew said. "And she is grateful for PenPen's help. She says that he is a clever little fellow, and that she wouldn't have been here today if not for his help."
"Can someone finally start explaining?" Maya shouted. "How can it be that one of the Angels is here... even though she doesn't really look much like an Angel right now."
'She... is not the only Angel on board,' Kaworu muttered.
"What... are you trying to say?" Maya wondered.
The Ivysaur looked up at her. 'My... real name is Tabris. The Angel Tabris. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you the truth sooner, trainer...'
"Wait a minute, that means that we are flying with the same beings that one tried to kill us?" Asuka gasped. "The same ones we fought in the Eva Units?"
"With two of them, at least," Rei added.
"No," Shinji said. "There are fourteen other Angels here as well."
"F-fourteen?" Yui asked. "That can't be, Shin-chan... there aren't even that many people in this room."
"There are," Shinji said, tapping his stubby arm against his round body. "In here!"
And then he did the same he had done before, only was he calling for someone else.
"I call for the power of Plasma. I call for... Ramiel!"
And in a flash, a floating, wisp-like creature appeared, with a pair of hands that were attached to the green plasma body.
"Greetings, everyone!" it said. "I am Plasma Wisp... but my old name is Ramiel."
"Squirtle..." Ritsuko muttered. 'Ramiel... one of the Angels...'
"So... you all got changed by Master Hand as well?" Maya asked.
Jiggypuff nodded. "Puff, Jigglypuff!"
"She says that Tabris is the only one who didn't make any choice," Mew explained. "And she doesn't want to see the fight between your two races to be continued. She and the other Angels have offered their help in the battle against the Subspace Army. Also, their powers are diminished, so all they can do is stay in Shinji's mind until he calls for their help. Tabris and Lilith are exceptions... Tabris has become a complete Ivysaur, and the only special powers Lilith has left lie in the magical marker of hers."
Asuka shook her head. "That's the weirdest thing I have heard on this trip... and I've seen quite a few crazy things."
"If my services are not needed anymore, I shall return to my siblings, Mr. Shinji," Plasma Wisp said.
Shinji nodded. "Yeah, all right!" And the former Angel disappeared.
"So, about this race you mentioned..." Fox spoke up. "What is it about? I'll be happy to help, but I'm really worried about my own home planet, you know? I haven't been with the rest of my team for days... and who knows how far the Aparoids have spread in the meantime."
"All in due time, Mr. McCloud," Mew sighed. She wished she could tell him right now, but they were short of time. "I'm pretty sure most of you know of the Artifacts of Destiny by now. Recently, I have given one of these into the care of a deity called Chaos... what proved to be a mistake."
'Well, I dunno if I would trust gods that are called Chaos...' Misato muttered.
PenPen nodded in agreement. "Wark!"
"Well, he is a deity that doesn't like to choose sides, so he and his helper, the spirit Tikal, have organized a special race... everyone who receives their invitation can take part, and the winner will get the artifact... the Screw Attack!"
"Chozo Artifact in common use by Samus Aran," R.O.B. spoke up. "Powerful tool that turns the user into a deadly twister of energy, destroying any living being that comes in contact with it."
"Yes," Navi nodded. "This artifact is very powerful, so we can't let it fall into the hands of the Supspace Council or their allies."
"So that's why you need our help? In a race to win this artifact?" Rei asked.
Mew smiled. "That's right!"
"But... but I can't even drive," Asuka protested. "How should I be of any help?"
"You can ride a horse, right?" Mew asked.
"No, I can't..." Asuka protested, but then she realized that she did actually know how to ride. After all, she had ridden on Link's horse, Epona, back when they were in Hyrule.
"See? You can ride because Princess Zelda knows how to ride," Mew smiled. "Most of your friends also have special abilities or skills that can be of great use in a race."
"Well, I am mainly a battle pilot, but I've heard the controls of an F-Zero racer aren't that different to those of an Arwing," Fox said. "And Rei's a great pilot as well, so..."
Rei blushed. She wasn't used to such praise.
"Hey, I could ride on Kaji," Maya suddenly realized. "That is, if he doesn't mind," she quickly added.
'Hey, you're the trainer,' Kaji said. 'Just give me the order, and I'll leave everyone behind!'
"And I can use..." Shinji murmured.
Navi smiled. "Kirby's warp star."
"But we don't have all these vehicles with us right now," Yui protested. "And Asuka-chan doesn't have a horse she could use... besides, I don't think a horse would be able to catch up with a spaceship."
Navi and Mew exchanged a smirk. "I think we should show them the hangar."
Shinji's eyes widened when he saw all the various vehicles standing in front of him.
"Wow..." Asuka muttered. "Awesome..."
"Hey, isn't that my...?" Fox wondered.
Rei nodded. "Yes, mine, too."
There were two Arwings, one of them modified to resemble an Evangelion Unit. There was a warp star who was hovering above the floor. There was a robotic horse with thrusters on its hooves. And there was even the space ship of Samus Aran, the same one Yui had appeared in all these days ago.
"Well, what do you say?" Mew asked.
Everyone was speechless for a while.
"I think these should be sufficient," Rei then said with a smirk.
