(Eshiko Sugata's Opening Monologue)

Hello again, everyone. Sugata Eshiko at your service.

You'll probably notice that the song in the last chapter, "Until It's Gone", is NOT the same song from the original chapter, "Falling Down".

Allow me to explain: "Falling Down seems more like a female-sung song, so MrWii000 decided to change it a to a more male-sung song for Icarus to sing at the end of the chapter.

(End of Eshiko Sugata's Opening Monologue)


It was another typical in the life of Tomoko Sakurai; Tomoko was reading the newspaper and watching with Nymph sitting right next to her. "Where's the remote?" She began to reach for the remote control.

"Here." Nymph handed the remote control to Tomoko.

"Oh, thanks." Tomoko took the remote and...

*TOUCH*

...accidentally touched Nymph's hand as well.

"HEY!" Nymph screamed.

"What? What's wrong?"

"Don't just TOUCH me like that!" Nymph got up and walked away in embarrassment.

"Sheesh! What gotten into HIM?" thought Tomoko. "He's acting all..."

*SQUISH*

"You rang?"

"NO!" Chibitizing, Tomoko grabbed under her waist.

Just then, Icarus walked in with a tray of green tea. "Would you like some tea, Master?"

"Huh? Oh, yes please, thank you," Tomoko said as she modernized. She began sipping her tea as Icarus sat right next to her.

"Uh..." For some reason, Icarus began nervously reaching into her pants.

"*SPIT* What's gotten into HIM now?" Tomoko chibitized in confusion as she spat out her tea.

*SQUISH*

"You rang?"

"SHUT UP!" Tomoko grabbed under her waist again. "CHRIST! I can't STAND this anymore! Even since they moved here, those U.M.A. freaks have been driving me crazy in the wrong sort of way! I gotta do something about this! NOW!"


Meanwhile, Sugata sat by the river fishing for food.

*BOOM*

Suddenly, something crashed into the ocean, getting Sugata wet and sending her flying.

"Uhn!" Getting up, Sugata held her arm up to block the wind and sand from blinding her eyes. As she looked on she noticed something: a young man within the crevice he landed in; the man had short golden-blonde hair and blood-red eyes; he wore a blue long coat and hood over his head, a white sleeveless shirt under it, blue and white jeans, black boot, two black and brown belts; and brown fingerless gloves; in his left hand appeared a blue shield with white accents; in his right hand was a blue super-oscillating photon blade; and finally, he deployed white and blue wings behind his back.

"Sakurai...Tomoko," whispered the man.

*ZOOM*

The man suddenly flew off, leaving Sugata to secretly watch in horror.


"*PANT* *PANT* *PANT* *PANT* *PANT* *PANT*" Arriving at Tomoko's house, Sugata jumped off her bicycle and flew in through door, coming across Sora and the Angeloid. "Icarus! Where's Tomoko?" she screamed.

"Master left for the mountains," said Icarus.

"Yeah, I think she said she wanted to do some sort of training. I don't know," said Sora. "Why?"

"Oh, god," Sugata whispered.

"What's going on?" asked Nymph.

"Tomoko's in danger!"


Tomoko sat in front of a Zen temple, meditating. "This is the ONLY way I'm gonna get some peace and quiet from..."


(Tomoko's Fantasy)

Icarus and Nymph held each other in a half-naked, sexual fashion.

(End of Tomoko's Fantasy)


*SQUISH*

"You rang?"

"GO AWAY!" Tomoko yelled at her—

*WHACK*

From right behind her, the priest whacked Tomoko on the shoulder, getting the pervert to try and focus.

"You DID, didn't you?"

"GO AWAY!" Tomoko yelled even—

*WHACK*

The priest whacked her again, so Tomoko strived to focus once again.


"A few minutes ago, I noticed an Angeloid landing on Earth," explained Sugata. "It seems he's after Tomoko...because he slowly said her name."


*BOOM*

Suddenly, something landed right in front of Tomoko, causing her to modernize and get shocked.


"OH NO!" gasped Sora.

"Beginning wide-area radar scan," said Icarus. "Verifying enemy Angeloid's location and model."

Nymph did the same.


The blonde-haired Angeloid boy took a step toward his target.


"Enemy Angeloid has just come into contact with Tomoko," said Icarus. "Type verified; Close Combat Angeloid. Type Delta: Astraeus."


"Target Acquired: Sakurai Tomoko," the Angeloid said as he raised his sword over Tomoko. "Prepare to die." The Angeloid, Astraeus, struck his blade down at—

*TRIP*

"WAAAAH!"

*THUD*

"OOF!" Suddenly, Astraeus trpped over a rock nd fell to the ground, right in front of the chibitized Tomoko.


"Wait! Delta?" asked Nymph. "Whew, false alarm."

"Say WHAT?!" screamed Sora.

"You're not that concerned?" asked Sugata.

"Tomoko will be fine," said Nymph. "It's only Delta."


The group later sat at the table.

"Is Delta weak?" asked Sora.

"No, he's the most powerful 1st Generation Angeloid," explained Nymph. "Alpha, Delta, and I have two advantages and one weakness." He drew a circular chart on a piece of paper. "For example, Alpha was created to excel in combat and intellectual capabilities; however, she lacks emotions. I, Beta, have emotional and intellectual capabilities, but lack combat skills. As for Delta, he excels in both of our weaknesses, emotional and combat capabilities; therefore, he has virtually NO intelligence."

"Okay," said Sugata.

"Meaning..." began Sora.

"Basically, Delta is...an incompetent moron..."


"Ow…" Slowly getting up, Astraeus grasped his bleeding nose as tears began to fall from his eyes in pain as he looked up at Tomoko.

"Ugh, JUST what I need: another one of those freaks," thought Tomoko. "I'm just shit out of luck."

"Sakurai-chan, it is time for your waterfall training," said the main priest.

Tomoko got onto her feet to follow the priest to the—

"WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!" Astraeus shouted as he chibitized and held up his hand. "I wanna do it too! Please let me join!"


And so, Astraeus, modernized, stood under a waterfall with Tomoko right next to him; they were now wearing robes and their hands were in a Ninjutsu-like position.

"Hee hee hee hee hee." Smiling, the blonde-haired Angeloid opened one of her eyes to look down at his target. "Better keep your guard up, Sakurai Tomoko, for soon, you will be exposed, and THAT is when I will kill like I intended. And it will be so...so...so..." Just then, he grabbed his body and began shivering as swirls popped up in his eyes. "...So c-c-c-c-cold!"

*SPLASH*

Astraeus passed out from the cold temperature of the waterfall.

"AH! What's wrong?!" cried Tomoko. "Priest? Priest?! PRI—"

Just then, Tomoko looked down and noticed a bunch of ridges on Astraeus' chest from within his slightly opened robe.

*SQUISH*

"You rang?"

"CUT IT OUT!" Tomoko screamed as she turned around. "I am TRYING to purge myself of these worldly desires!"


"And I WILL not give up!" Now, Tomoko was scrubbing the floors. "I will NOT stop until those desires from my mind!" Just then, she looked up, only to see a slightly exposed men's ass—Astraeus' ass right in front of her; Astraeus was scrubbing the floors as well.


Afterwards, Tomoko and Astraeus sat outside to meditate again.

*TAP*

"Ow!" The blonde-haired Angeloid was getting gently whacked on the shoulder by the priest.

*TAP*

"Ow!"

*TAP*

"OW! Please stop!" Astraeus clumsily whispered. "I'm gonna pee if you keep that up!"

"Did you here that?"

*SQUISH*

"He's gonna—"

*WHACK*


*BONG* *BONG* *BONG*

Astraeus banged the bell later at evening.

"Damn it..." thought Tomoko from behind. "...I WON'T lose!"


*BLOW*

Then, Astraeus was forging pottery with his mouth.

*CHOP*

Behind her, Tomoko was cutting lettuce.

*CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP*

"I WON'T LOSE!"

*CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP*

Her chopping began getting faster and more furocious.

*CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP*


Now, Tomoko had just finished his chores and was extremely exhausted as she rested inside. "Man, who knew worldly desires were SO difficult to give up!"

"Here, I have dinner for you." Just then, Astraeus approached Tomoko with his meal on a trade.

"Oh, thank you," said Tomoko. "Itadakimasu!" And so, she began eating.

"GOTCHA!" thought the blonde-haired Aneloid boy devilishly. "That meal you have...it's full of POISON!" He eagerly reached for the bottle of poison in his pocket. "You'll drop dead ANY second now...ANY second...ANY second..." But Tomoko continued to eat her meal. "...What's going on? Souldn't she be dead?" But just then, he realized something. "WAIT A SEC, I NEVER PUT THE POISON IN THE MEAL!" He quickly rushed to get meal. "WAIT! CAN I—"

*SLIP* *RIP* *THUD*

But Astraeus slipped and fell while ripping his pants, and Tomoko ended right in between his legs that exposed his white briefs.


(Tomoko's Vision)

Tomoko found herself on a grassy plain...and she was a child once again.

"Tomoko…"

Looking behind her, Tomoko saw her grandmother.

"Does it matter?" whispered the grandmother. "Does it matter if they're humans? Or U.M.A.s? It shouldn't matter, as long as they abs and joints."

Tomoko made a confident smile.

(End of Tomoko's Vision)


Later that evening, Sugata was once again fishing by the river near her tent.

*BOOM*

Suddenly, something crashed right by the ocean again. It was Astraeus, and his clothes were completely torn. "Circuits halted due to unexpected circumstances," the exhausted blonde-haired Angeloid boy said.

"Hmm...judging from his clothes, I think Tomoko tried to harass this one, Sora caught her in the in the act, beat her up, and allowed Astraeus to escape." Sugata placed a blanket on the poor Angeloid.

"Rebooting. Initialization commence," Astraeus suddenly said. "Debriefing mission: the 'dream'...that the Downer saw, while incomplete, was still a unique phenomenon. 11 years ago, a single Downer's 'dream' became connected to Synapse, the cause of the occurrence is unknown; however, as it was NOT considered a threat, the Synapse highest council's final judgement was to leave it be; however, several weeks ago, traces of Downer's trespassing in central Synapse had been detected by the existence of a 'Rule' in central. Interference is no longer allowed. And so, this is MY mission: execute the Downer...Sakurai Tomoko. Huh?" All of a sudden, Astraeus suddenly reawaken. "Where AM I?"

"Excuse me?" said Sugata from behind. "May I ask: what was your mission again?"
