He ladies and gentleman, I hope you're all doing well and hope you all had a great Halloween, only a few more weeks till Thanksgiving, oh I can't wait :)

Anyways so last time, we got a glimpse of life in the Maple Inn House, Ben's family had been adjusting themselves and Ben and Nyu are in an official relationship. But trouble looms as Chief Kakuzawa has told his son Toshiro about the missile not going off, and now senda him to find Ben and Lucy, will he succeed? We will have to wait and see.

Now regarding the Unknown Man's actions, some of it I will not write in because I don't want it to be too graphic nor do I want the admins to make this an Adult Only part. So the scene where he tortures and molests Number 28 will not be present. And his talk and bet with Arakawa will be present in a flashback.

Also I wrote a lemon to the story too that can be found on Archive of Our Own, so if you want to see that, then head there and you'll find it :) I got the same username from here 1and the story is still the same as well.

To Starlord Master: Ultraman definitely is. I don't know how much yet but we are almost at 30 so...I think so, I mean Ben's Diclonius form is a copy from Lucy's so I would like to think yes.

The mysterious Mr.E: Thanks :)

To Mah Paiton: Thanks, and that's cool :)

To keybladelight: I do have Kouta and the others (sans Mayu and Nana) discover that Ben is from another world at some point, but you'll have to wait and see ;)

To dippytrippy122: You could've gone to sleep and read the story again in the morning lol, but thanks for liking it. I know I use Docs so I try to inspect everything.

Maple Inn

Ben was watching as Kouta was standing by the door wearing a jacket.

"C'mon Yuka!" Kouta said. "We gotta go!" He called out loudly.

"I know!" Yuka called back. "Just give me a few minutes!" She said. Kevin, who was walking around the corner, was snickering a bit.

"Sheesh, girls take so much time, you know what I mean?" He asked Kouta, who sighed.

"Yea...I know what you mean." He said back. Ben shook his head, thank god Yuka was not near them to hear it, otherwise they would get their asses handed to them.

Meanwhile, Yuka was changing upstairs and looked upset, why? Because Nyu was already changed. "It's not fair!" She whined as Nyu then turned to face her. "Nyu, you're an early riser and you have already changed."

Nyu gave her a cheeky smile. "Nope," She said with an audible pop. "It was my turn for duty this morning." She said.

Yuka sighed, not really believing her, but whatever right? As Nyu was looking at Yuka, she saw Yuka's breasts and...well...she felt something, she felt...like he wanted to touch them. Now during her maturity, she didn't grow as much as she did before, but it still turned up from time to time, but she never really did know why she did though.

She wanted to touch them...but she resisted with ease, but it was so hard to do. "I'm gonna go downstairs!" Nyu said as he quickly left the room, to avoid doing something she would regret, making Yuka look at her with confusion.

Nyu then ran downstairs to see Kouta ready at the door. He asked her if Yuka was ready yet. "Almost." She said with a flushed face. Kouta was confused, but shrugged his shoulders, Nyu took a look at Ben and licked her lips a bit. She woke him up to whisper something. "Ben….could you come with me please?" She asked him, but before he could wonder why, she said that she was going to go use the restroom for a bit before scurrying off.

Ben looked confused, but decided to wait for a bit before going to follow her to her destination. He went to the bathroom, where he got a shocking surprise. He found Nyu, with a flushed face and she had stripped to her bra.

"Ben," She said as he walked over to him. "I saw Yuka undressed and got that…'feeling' again." She said to him with embarrassment. Ben sighed a bit, knowing that those urges came up every once and a while. She then wrapped her arms around him. "Please do something with me...just real quick! Quick enough for me to get Yuka off my mind!"

Ben wrapped his arms around her waist. "But you might get me on your mind though." He said.

"That works!" Nyu said with impatience. "Ben, please!" She said. Ben sighed a bit and smiled.

"Ok then." He said as he kissed her, and she happily moaned into the kiss.

5 minutes later….

Yuka was now downstairs with Kouta and waiting by the door. And she was sighing a bit.

"Where is Nyu?" Yuka asked with impatience. "We're going to be late!" She said.

Kouta however looked at her with confusion. "Aren't you the one who gave me crap earlier for the very same reason?" He thought with a raised eyebrow. After a few seconds, they finally saw Nyu come out, she was all chipper and happy, and she had some pink on her face. "Jeez Nyu, where were you?"

"In the bathroom." She said nonchalantly to them both. The cousins raised their eyebrows a bitk but deceived not to press things even further. Ben then came out to them all a few minutes later, and he looked as if he was put through some sort of wringer and he was blushing like crazy.

Kouta Looked at him and was a bit suspicious at first, but shook his head to dismiss it. "Ok, so we're going out now." He said to him. "Nozomi and Mayu will be down in a little bit for their school, and you and the others watch the place alright?"

"Yes sir!" Ben said as he saluted him. Yuka and Nyu giggled and Kouta gave him a short but amused glare.

"Ok, well, we'll see you all later." He said as he and the older students began to leave.

"See you all later." Yuka said with a smile as she walked out. Nyu hung out for a bit to give Ben a kiss on the cheek.

"See you later Ben." She said with a smile as she left to go for the others. Ben smiled as they all left. After a few minutes Mayu and Nozomi came down with their coats on.

"We'll be back later." Mayu said. Ben smiled at her.

"Ok squirt, be careful right?" He said as he then ruffled her hair.

"Ok, Big Brother." She said with a smile. Nozomi gave him a short hug and the two girls walked out the door.

Kevin then soon came out. "Damn, I'm so bored!" He said with annoyance. Ben turned to face him.

"Find something to entertain yourself then." Ben retorted. Kevin glared at him and was about to retort till they heard something. They all turned to the bird from earlier tweeting a bit and saw Nana going to feed it.

"Don't worry, here you go." She said in a sweet voice as she fed the bird. Both boys watched with smiles on their faces.

"That kids something else right?" Kevin asked him.

"Yea, she is." Ben said with a smile, for the many months, He has gotten closer to everyone in Maple Inn, but Mayu and Nana...he felt like he had the closest relationship of all besides Nyu. Those two viewed Ben as an older brother, and he saw them as younger sisters. Mayu and Nana meant alot to him, and he was more than willing to do whatever it took to keep them safe.

"Kevin, c'mon!" Gwen said to him as she was standing by the door. Ben looked at them and was confused.

"Where are you guys going?" He asked them with a raised eyebrow.

Gwen looked back at him. "Well we were planning on going to explore some of the town a bit more and do some shopping, you want to come with us?" She asked.

"Sorry, I'm on house guard duty." He said to them. "Where's Grandpa?"

"He's cleaning the dishes from breakfast." Kevin said to him. "Well, see you later Tennyson." He said. At this point, Nana looked over at them as well, Kevin saw her and gave a small smile. "See you later squirt."

"Bye you guys…" Nana said with a depressed voice. The Tenyson Trio looked a bit concerned, but Ben gave them a look that said 'I'll handle it' And with that the two lovers walked out of the house. Ben saw Nana and decided to go and sit with her.

"Hey Nana," Ben said as he sat down. "Are you alright?" He asked her.

Nana looked up at him and frowned a bit. "I don't know…"She said to him. "Remember months ago...when Papa, Mariko, and that one lady went back to that man you knew?"

"Professor Paradox? Yea, why?" Ben asked with a raised eyebrow. Nana looked up at him.

"I'm just so worried…" She said with concern. "I mean I know they did bad stuff, but you and I know that they regret doing those….I just worry...do you think that they're alright?" she asked him with nervousness.

Ben then grabbed her by her hands and rubbed them gently. "Listen Nana, I know a lot of good people in my world, and the Plumbers can be trusted, my grandfather was one once….trust me, I'm sure they're all fine and dandy." He said he could still feel Nana being uncertain though. Ben sighed a bit. "Nana, I know it's hard, but trust me, they'll be fine."

Nana looked up at him and sighed a bit. "I trust you Ben...it's just...you know...I almost lost him that night...and I almost lost you as well…" She said with some hesitation. "Maybe that night is still on my mind…" She said as she got up. "I'm going to go lay down for a bit." She said as she got up and went to go to her room.

Ben was left booking a bit concerned for a bit. "Still can't believe that night is still on her mind." He thought. "Of course it was pretty intense...and me and Kurama almost got killed…" He thought as he rubbed his head. "I wish Paradox could come and tell us about the machine…." He thought. For the many months he has not heard from Paradox and it was worrying him a bit.

Ben then had Nyu on his mind again. Well not really Nyu, it was Lucy...she was something, sure she had a large body count but he could understand her feelings...plus she was manipulated and was so vulnerable...how was he going to save her? Then Ben looked up. "I wonder…" he said as he got up.

Ben went into his room and he sat down, he activated his Omnitrix and looked through it. "Ok..where are you…?" He said as he tried to find his Diclonius form, but when he found it he smiled. "There you are…." He then had a look of confusion. "I still never got around to giving her a name…" He said as he then slammed down on the dial and was engulfed in a flash of light, one the light diminished, he was now in his Diclonius form.

"I wonder….I know!" She said as she slammed her fist to her palm. "Vectoria! I mean I have vectors...and it sounds like victoria...so it makes sense in a way." She said with a smile.

"Wow..you named yourself?" A familiar voice asked. "Kinda weird.." She said. Vectoria sighed a bit before closing her eyes.

"Is it something I do alright?" She said. "But enough about me, I want to know something….It's obvious that you are part of my mind just as the DNA voice is part of Lucy's." She said. "I want to know...are you going to manipulate me as well like the other voice or not?"

"Not really." the voice said. "You see, from what I seen, you seem to be quite the hero in these parts, of course I am still a bit uneasy since you're still human...but beggars can't be choosers I guess." the voice said. "But what did you want to talk to me about? I doubt that's the only thing you wanted to ask me."

Vectoria sighed. "Yea...I want to know...all the Diclonius in the Institution...is there a way for me to save them all?" She asked. "I mean they are being brainwashed and since Lucy is the queen, the DNA Voice will manipulate them all just like what she did to Lucy."

The voice sighed a bit. "I...I don't know kid, here's the thing. Diclonius gets captured at infancy and is experimented on, and the stuff they go through leads to them gaining a hatred towards the humans. But obviously, Kurama told you that already." She said. "But why do you want to save them though? I ask because I never would have expected a human to want to save them."

"Yea? Well that was before I met Nyu...Lucy, whatever her name is." Vectoria said. "I didn't care about her horns, and after witnessing all that shit in her head from her childhood...and from what Kurama told me about...I want to find a way to get them all out of there...I just have to."

The voice sighed a bit and began to speak again. "You're a very interesting person Ben Tennyson." She said with an amused tone of voice. "But still though, what is your plan anyway, plan on some big speech for them? Try to plead to them all or something?"

Vectoria sighed a bit. "I don't know….but I got to do something...these kids...they deserve to live a good life, a life far away from the facility, a life where people don't do experiments on them all…" She said. She wanted the Diclonii to be free from all of this.

The voice sighed a bit. "Well whatever, since I'm part of you, I guess I have no choice but to root for you." She said.

Vectoria sighed. "You remind me of a certain Highbreed that didn't trust me either due to me being human, but I have a feeling that you and I will get along better." She said with a small smile.

The voice in her head chuckled. "I'll see it to believe it...if that's all you wish to ask me, then I'll leave you now." She said. "You know...I'm serious about what I said, you are very interesting for a human boy.." she said before Vectoria could see that there was no trace of the voice in her head.

Vectoria sighed a bit before she got up, her fingers brushing through her pink hair. "I just need to figure out what the hell I'm going to do." She said as she sighed a bit. "I wonder...maybe if I can get rid of the voice...maybe Lucy can communicate to the other Diclonii." She said with interest...would it work though?


Yuigahama Beach

Mayu was walking along the beach going to someplace, she told Nozomi not to worry and that she would catch up to her. Secretly, she had some food with her and was going to meet someone.

"Hopefully he will like this." She thought as she began to walk towards an old wood pile, the same one that she slept in many months ago...before she moved into Maple Inn...before she found another family, a family that loved her alot.

"I can't believe it, it's snowing." A familiar voice said, making Mayu turn around. That voice was none other than Bando's.

Bando had been sleeping in the woodpile for months now, and when he saw it was snowing her was cold. "So freaking cold…" He said through gritted teeth. "Now matter how many months have passed, no matter how much I want to forget, my yellow vision still reminds me of that night…" He thought with anger, he wanted to try to forget about Lucy and for what she did to him...but grudges are hard to let go sometimes. "One day….one day soon…" He thought in anger.

"Uh...excuse me Mr. Bando.." Mayu said as she came up to him, making the former soldier look at her. "I brought you some rice balls and miso soup." She said as she handed him her bento box.

But Bando was annoyed. "Damn it, didn't I tell you that I didn't need your help brat?" He asked with annoyance, but he then sighed. "I'm in pieces here….to think that I have to rely on a brat like you to bring me food.." He said she opened up the box and began to dig in a bit.

"Don't be upset with me, please." Mayu said to him with a calm voice. "I mean...that is my dog's leftovers you know…

SPAT

"WHAT?!" Bando yelled comically after spitting the food out of his mouth, did this brat...really give him….food from a dog? Food that's been in a dogs mouth?

Mayu simply giggled at him though and put her hands up. "Don't worry, I was just kidding you." She said with a small smile.

"THAT WASN'T FUNNY YOU DAMN BRAT!" Bando yelled at her. He then sighed a bit before he took a sip of the soup he didn't spit out. "Well, anyways, I do want to know something." He said to her as he looked at her. "Why the hell do you bother with me anyway?" He asked. "For almost half a year, you bring me food and you sometimes help me clean up the beach….why do you bother? I figured you would hate me after that incident from the last time, especially with me getting my ass handed to your bastard American friend."

Mayu then looked down, he did have a point. Even after what he did to her and after Ben almost killed him...she was still being nice to him….why is she doing it? Was Ben's kindness getting to her? "I honestly don't know…" She said to him. Then she had to tell him something. "Hey...you said that you have been searching for the girl with horns on her head right?"

"Yea," He said as he took a bit from his rice.

Mayu twiddled her fingers a bit before looking a tad bit nervous. "Well I don't think that she will be coming here. And Bandos reaction?

"SAY WHAT!" He yelled loudly, so loud that it made Mayu cover her ears for a bit. "You don't understand nothin kid!" He said to her. "The only clues I got of her is this particular area!"

Mayu then looked down a bit. "I know...thats why me and Ben have been trying to prevent Nyu from coming down here." She thought. In order to protect her from Bando, Ben, Gwen, and Mayu made sure that Nyu did not go anywhere near the beach, out of fear that Bando would try to kill her on sight. It's been hard to do, but so far the plan was successful.

Bando then eyed her suspiciously. "Or...is the reason you told me that...is because you're hiding something?" He said with suspicion.

Now normally, Mayu would be a bit hesitant and nervous, but she had grown a bit since that day. "No, I don't know anything…" she said to him, but then thought. "This is why I'm atoning for it by bringing you food." In order to atone for the lie, she had been bringing him some food, even though they were lies. It was for the best as she didnt want You to get hurt by him. "That's why I feel like you should give up on your search for her here...and maybe go somewhere warm." She said to him.

This made Bando scoff a bit. "The hell are you talking about, kid? What is this warm place you speak of?" He asked, but secretly he was pretty much agreeing with her. He hasn't seen any sign of Lucy for over nearly a year now….he was wondering….if maybe he should listen to her…but he wouldn't tell her than to her face though. "Whatever….you should possibly get to school now kid." He said as he then finished off his soup.

Mayu then looked at her watch and was shocked, she was there for a while now and had to go, Nozomi must be worried by now. But before she could go, she was stopped by Bando who gave her some Yen.

"Here….for your lunch…" He gruntly said.

Mayu took the money and looked at it with awe. "Wait, are you serio-"

"Forget about it brat!" Banos snapped. "Just take it and leave me alone would you?" He asked in annoyance.

"Oh...ok then." Mayu said to him as she then decided to leave, not wanting to anger him anymore, but as she then left she turned back to face him. "Th-thank you." she said with a smile and walked away.

Bando saw her walk off and sighed a bit. "I swear, such a pain…" He said with annoyance, but then turned to look out into the distance. "But was she right though? Should I stop looking for Lucy? I haven't seen that horned bitch for many months…" He was uncertain...


University

Kouta, Yuka, and Nyu were all walking to the University where they all attended. Yuka however looked kinda upset.

"Don't you think it's kinda lonely watching the house all alone?" She asked.

"Well, Ben and his family are there so she isn't alone, plus she has the bird." Kouta said to his cousin, Nyu was walking close by.

"How come we couldn't take Nana and Ben with us?" She asked him with a raised eyebrow. "I mean we took Ben to university with us that one time, and Nana's never been there."

Kouta sighed. "Well we did have her come with us at one point remember?" He asked. "And she seemed disappointed. Plus she doesn't even look like a University student." He said.

Yuka looked at him and was thinking about it, he did have a point. She didn't really look like a university student, she looked like she belonged in Highschool or something. "Good point...but why didn't we take Ben with us like last time? Mainly you have been having him stay at the house to guard it or something."

Koiuta winced a bit, he remembered the soldiers who took Nyu that night...and he wanted someone to stay behind to guard the palace in case anyone asks questions. But Ben...Kouta was suspicious about him.

"Do you think someone is going to break into our home?" Yuka asked with a raised eyebrow.

"...Just taking necessary precautions.." Kouta said to her.

"That sucks," Nyu said. "I would've loved to have Ben with us…" She said with a sad face. Yuka went over and patted her on the shoulder.

"I know Nyu, but you'll get to see him after school though." She said to her as she then walked up to Kouta and began to whisper. "Have you noticed that Nyu seems to be a bit closer to Ben these past months?" She asked.

"Yea….I have." He said through gritted teeth, for the many months he has seen Nyu get close to Ben and have Been feed her, of course she was still lovable around the others, but she was always around Ben a lot. And it made Kouta a bit angry and jealous.

Yuka looked at Kouta and was a bit concerned. "Are you alright Kouta?" she asked with concern. Kouta looked at her and sighed.

Meanwhile, the nervous woman Arakawa, the former assistant to Professor Kakuzawa, was sitting down at her desk in relivity. "Never would I have imagined that I would be back here." She said as she looked up. "I also never thought that I would help destroy humanity either…" He flashed back to Kouta and Ben a bit. "I have to find those students and have talks with them both. But that one American...oh Jeez." She said as she rubbed her head.

She then got up a bit and looked around, after Kakuzawa's death, the whole place was neatly cleaned out. "I guess all they really wanted was the doc's research records and stuff like that." She said with solemness. But then her face perked up a bit. "But I do know…" she said as she walked over and knelt down at a desk. "Where the doc was concealing some valuable things." she said as she opened the door and got out some objects such as folders and two bags filled with a vile of liquid.

"Thank god the guys didn't find any of these." She said with relief as she took a vial and looked at it closely. "When I was a child...I had dreams of becoming a great scientist that would be recorded as being one of the greatest people ever….but this is not about the record of the greatest...it's about the bible." She said with dread.

She then got back up and went to go look out the window. "What The hell am I going to do?" she asked. "I mean, I have no clues on how to find those kids...their faces were generic, even though one was obviously a foreigner. Oh, what do I do? I'll never find her...and if I don't...well then." she began to sweat with nervousness as she then looked at the vial again. "Why did I take that bet? I don't even know what pleasure slaves even do." She moaned in agony.

Motomachi Union Kamakura

Gwen was in the store picking out some groceries for tonight. Not having anything to do, and knowing that her cousin, ehr boyfriend,d and her grandfather were watching over Nana. She decided to go shopping, Gwen had some Yen that he had transferred over and bought some stuff for dinner. She paid for everything and decided to walk home.

"Never in a million years would I come to an alternate Earth, an Earth that contains mutans." She thought with amusement. "But you know, what can you expect right?" She asked herself. As she was still walking, she still couldn't help but think of what Ben had told her...about Nyu.

"I wonder if she even remembers about the murders…" She said with some dread. Ben had told her about the murders he saw in her dream and she was shocked. "I know I shouldn't feel sympathy for a murderer….but then again, her puppy got killed and she was being manipulated by that voice thing...I kinda wonder if the other half of her regrets the murders…" She said with some thought. "Well, I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there." She said with some solemness.

"Hey babe." She then turned to see a large man giving her a predatory grin. "You shouldn't be walking around here alone." He said to her. Gwen however looked at him and didn't look fazed. After dealing with aliens, Vilgax, Eon, and Aggregor, this guy was nothing special.

"No, I'm good, thank you." she said to him as she tried to walk away, but she was stopped.

"Hey, hey, woah now girlie. I'm just stating a fact, these streets aren't safe, especially since they are saying a bunch of stuff about Ultraman...why don't you let me walk you home?" He suggested it to her, but Gwen knew what his true motives were, and she knew that he was not going to take no for an answer.

Normally she would use her powers, but she didn't want to expose herself like her cousin….what was she going to do?

"Actually bud," A familiar voice said as she turned to see Kevin walking up to them. "She's with me." Kevin said with an annoyed tone of voice.

But the thug was not too intimidated that easily, he gave a cocky look. "Oh yea? Listen tough guy." He said as he walked closer to him. "I don't know what their sexy girl sees in you, but I be-GGHH!" He stopped as Kevin grabbed two objects….objects that were….sensitive.

"Listen you dick," Kevin said in a dangerous tone of voice. "That is my girlfriend you are harassing, and you better turn your ass and walk away...or else I will put you in the hospital." He then grabbed the thugs...regions tighter and made the man squeal a bit. "Got it?

"Yes sir!" the thug squealed in a high pitched tone of voice.

"Good, now get the hell out of here." He said as he then shoved the thug away, making the man weep and limp away. Kevin sighed and went and grabbed a bag from Gwen, who didn't really look amused.

"Jeez Kevin, you didn't have to go that far." She said to him. "Where were you anyway?" she asked with annoyance. "You could've helped me out with vetting the food."

"I just went for a walk." He said to her. "Besdes, I needed to do something in order for that guy to get the message." He said to her simply. Gwen sighed, knowing that there was no point in arguing they decided to head back to the house. As they walked Gwen talked to him about Nyu.

"You know….do you think her other half is regrettable for the murders she committed?" She asked him.

Kevin looked up a bit. "I don't know, I mean from what those kids did to her...I understand the pain she must have felt but then being talked about that DNA Voice or something...how do we know if all the murders she committed were actually her, or if it was the DNA Voice taking over the body or something?" He told her. While he listened to Ben's story, but it did make some sense, was Lucy really doing it all herself? Or did the DNA Voice do it?

"I guess…" Gwen said. "Also, I wonder if this device is going to work or not." She said with some hesitation.

"Don't worry about a thing, Ben literally saved the universe for crying out loud, I'm sure he can handle a split personality or something like that." Kevin snorted.

"I hope…" Gwen said with nervousness. She still is a bit unsure, from what she heard. This person was dangerous, sounded a bit more dangerous than Vilgax even….so she was worried. All she could do was hope that Ben would be alright.


Maple Inn

Ben and Nana were both cleaning up the walls together….well, Ben was actually Vectoria this time. Vectoria had the idea of using their vectors to use the rags to clean up the hard to reach areas.

"I'm still amazed that you can become a Diclinius just like me, big brother!" Nana said with a smile, but it then turned to a confused frown. "Or Big Sister….?"

Vectoria giggled. "Don't worry about it Nana, when I'm like this, I'm Big Sister, and when I'm the real me, I'm Big Brother." She said with a smile. Nana then gave a short giggle as the two girls continued their work. "so..I found something out today." She said.

"Huh?" Nana asked. "What is it?"

"I got my own voice like Lucy has." she said, but she could see that Nana was about to panic and she calmed her down. "Don't worry it's nothing like the voice she has. this one is...pretty different to be honest with you."

"How different?" Nana asked him, she was still a bit nervous though.

"Well, she doesn't act all bloodthirsty or violent...but from our talks together, I think she is a bit judgemental of me. But she calls me interesting though…"

Nana couldn't help but giggle a bit at that. "Well you do have a watch that can turn you into this alien thingies and into a Diclonius like me, so you are pretty interesting to say the least." She said with a smile. At this point, they heard some footsteps and Max came down the stairs.

"Hey grandpa." Vectoria said with a smile. When Max learned from Ben that he could turn into a Dilonisu and was shown his form….the reactions were mixed. Gwen was shocked, Kevin couldn't help but blush, and Max? Well he was surprised and shocked, but he would not judge though.

"Hey girls." He said as both Diclonisu smiled at him, he took a look at Vectoria and sighed a bit. "I still have to get used to seeing you as a girl." He said.

Vectoria chuckled a bit. "I know." She said as she put her rag down. "So what are you up to gramps?"

Max smiled at her. "I'm going to go for a little walk and try to get in with some Plumbers to see if that machine is ready yet." He said to her. "I should be back a little later." He said as he was about to head on out the door, but not before turning back to the girls. "You two will be alright by yourselves?"

"No problem Grandpa!" Nana said with a big smile on her face. "Say hi to Papa and Mariko for me please!"

Max smiled. "I will kiddo." He said before he left the house. Now there were only the two Diclonius and the small baby bird. Nana and Vectoria stopped wiping the walls for a while before deciding to take a small break.

"So...uh…" Nana began to say. "How many vectors can you sprout?" She asked.

Victoria then gave it some thought. "To be honest...I have no idea, I mean you saw me use two fo them for the walls….but since I copied Lucy's DNA, it can be said that I might possess the same amount of vectors as her...but that's something to be seen of." She said to her.

Nana looked into her cup again. "Do you...really think you can save Lucy?" she asked with concern. "I mean...from what you said to me...that voice in her….how do you plan on getting it out?"

Vectoria signed. "You probably don't remember, but in my world The Plumbers are a galaxy force that fights off evil aliens, Grandpa was once a member. So I'm hoping that they can somehow build a device that will allow me to go inside Lucy's mind to fight off the DNA Voice.

"Can't you use one fo your alien things?" Nana asked him.

Vectoria sighed. "I don't have any aliens that can go in mind, well there is Pesky Dust, but he can't really fight inside, he can change dreams and see dreams..but not have an actual fight in here." She said.

Nana put her head down. "Oh...sorry." She said, making the older Diclonisu rub her head.

"It's alright." She said with a smile. As she was sitting down in thought, a part of her was still wondering something…"If I am to fight the DNA Voice...what alien should I use?" She thought. "I have many, and I bet I could easily defeat her with any of them….but since she is part of Lucy...I don't know…" As she still continued to think...she had a thought. "Is it possible...that I could possibly use….Alien X?"


And so where we go folks. So We saw Arakawa again and this time she was ordered to find Lucy and Ben as well, will she succeed? And what was that bet she made? Also we saw Bando again having a moment with Mayu. What will happen next time? We'll have to wait and see.

So I know that we were going to see the Unknown Man get his ass handed to him in this chapter, but it might happen in the next one, trust me, you don't want to miss it :)

As I said before, I'm not going to add in the part where the Unknown Man is torturing Number 28, it's way too disturbing and I don't want the story to be flagged. The scene where he and Arakawa make the bet will come up in a flashback as we get to the next chapter.

Anyways, please don't forget to read and review, I'm always happy to hear from you all and happy to answer any questions you might have.

See you all next time :)
