Chapter 13 – Into the Time Chamber (Part 2)
[The Chamber – Day 3]
"Today, we're learning something new. We'll be halting jutsu learning for the time being to move towards Haki techniques. Originating from the world of One Piece, we'll be focusing on two of them … Kenbunshoku Haki and Busoshoku Haki." Drake said as Jericho took over.
"Obversation Haki allows a sixth sense allowing you sense people's presence, strength, emotions, and intentions. Advanced forms of it obtained through mastering it will allow you to see a short period into the future. Armament Haki allows to coat yourself or object with an armor-like energy. With it, you can bypass defenses. Think of it similar to Iron Body, but more. In theory, Armament can protect you from quirks while also allowing you to bypass them." Jericho explained.
"As a bit of a warning, we'll teach you Busoshoku, but you are not allowed to use it in anything other than defending against villains or in a life-or-death situation. Tekkai is fine for your street brawls, Busoshoku is overkill. Understood?" Drake said getting nods from the students. "Good. Now we won't be training in this all day. Just for an hour with half on Kenbun and the other on Buso, then a ten minute break before we go into a spot of multiversal history and politics."
"Do we have to get lectured?" Sero whined.
"Yes, you damn well do. Considering the amount of reality warpers using this place as a footstool and considering you'll be among them soon enough, you do need to learn. Now ready yourself…learning Haki techniques ain't be walk in the park." Albedo said as Drake revealed a bokken.
Training in Kenbunshoku was a matter of being blindfold while having attacks thrown at you or getting smacked by a bokken in hoped one would dodge it. Jericho stated that while blindfolded, you were to empty your mind and focus. Mostly everyone had a lump or two…or five. Drake attempted a strike at Izuku who caught the bokken with a barehanded block.
"Very good, you managed to catch it. But did you awaken the power or was it your Quirk?" Drake asked wistfully. "If it's the latter, I may have to train you one-on-one later."
When time came for Buso training, Kirishima would up discovering he could pull it easily when he ended up bypass Aizawa's quirk and slugging him in the jaw.
"Very good, you wound up learning to use Buso as a shield to protect yourself and your quirk." Jericho said clapping for him.
"My arm is a bit twitchy though." Kirishima said as his arm tingled.
"Take five. You too, Shouta." Drake said helping Aizawa up. "And as for you, Izuku."
Drake lain a hand on Izuku's head before a jolt of knowledge was shot into his head.
"I've passed on Buso to you. And before Bakugo or anyone asks why, I did it so Deku has less of a chance of breaking his arms or legs when using his Quirk." Drake said aloud. "Now Izuku, practice your form."
Bakugo was failing to grasp either one. Too impatient for Observation Haki, and couldn't get the focus for Armament. He was livid Drake just gave Izuku the key. He focused on his arm to try to get to go black, but only got his middle finger. He flipped off Drake with it…and he laughed it off.
"Ok, because that made me laugh…I'll let that insult slide." Drake said.
"I'm getting the hang of it!" Iida said as he used Buso on his arms. "Didn't expect the color to be…a bit of white, grey, and light blue. Maybe a side effect of the Quirk."
Izuku wrote that down. Break time finally came with Jiro asking about Drake's guitar as everyone was sitting outside on the white void either snacking on something or having a drink.
"I do play a variety of instruments." Drake said taking the blue guitar up. "I had to learn various skills and hobbies. This guitar in my hands is a Flying V and it's a pretty dangerous weapon. It can fly, I can use it as a hoverboard, has a chainsaw, gun feature, and it can hit with enough force to…do a lot of crazy shit. These guitars are what we warpers call Bat-Class Guitars."
"But can it play music?" Momo asked.
"Oh, it can, and I'm feeling in a mood for a song." Drake said strumming it. "Hey, Jeri? Any chance of you backing me up?"
"Depends. You going to sing?" Jericho asked.
"Nah, not today. I feel like chillin' out to rumble." Drake said as he began to play Viper Room Rumble.
[Cues: Megas XLR OST – Viper Room Rumble]
Drake invoked that feeling of chilling after a long battle or just kicking back before moive night. Drake had a passion for playing the song or hearing it as it was a song that just invoked kicking back after a long and stressful day. Jiro just watched him play starstruck before he finished. He got a few claps for that.
[Music Ends]
"A short piece, but a golden one. " Drake said relaxing his hand. "Now I feel like watching Megas XLR again."
"Still pissed they canceled it?" Albedo said as he nodded. "I feel the pain. Ridiciolous as the show was…it had charm."
"Well time for a lecture…" Jericho said getting groans from a few students. "Oh, don't worry, this won't be boring. Warper history is loose and rife with chaos. So, we're just covering the Modern Age. Namely, we're going into current politics. Namely, the matters of Planet Creation, the Elite Council, and the Clans. Drake, try not to make it too boring."
"Planet Creation is in the 4th Dimension, the central nexus of the multiverse and home to the Order of Reality where the Elite Council. Those guys are basically our government and make the rules. If one shows up…then you're in trouble and you should pray you're not jailed…or worse…erased." Drake said growing quietly.
"Erased? Don't you mean ki-"
"No, Momo. Being killed is basically no big issue, you go to an afterlife. With the multiverse, there are a crap ton of means to get you revived from death or cheating death as long as your soul remains. But being erased…" Jericho said as Albedo finished.
"A complete cessation of existence. You simply no longer exist, no soul, no nothing." Albedo said hauntedly. "Only way to truly die in the multiverse…and the one you should actually fear over death."
"Yes, dreadful. Can we please move on? And mind if I take over on the clan, part?" Brit said as Albedo nodded. "If there's a more pressing issue…it's clan politics."
Izuku, at this point, had a notebook decided to the matters of multiverse was both writing down from the lecture and looking up on the WarpNet. A small introduction to clan politics was made before breaking for lunch, and it was Drake's go at cooking.
"Ah, clones are a girl's best friend." Jericho purred as a Drake clone was massaging her back.
CRICK! Another clone of Drake finished up on Aizawa's shoulders.
"Thanks, it was a bit tense there." Aizawa said breathing a sigh in relief.
Bakugo tried using his own clones to get his back…and he was fighting them because one Bakuclone decided to be mouthy. BLAM! The explosion led to a soot colored Bakugo asking Izuku to a spare a clone.
"I'm pretty sure that him giving you a clone isn't going to help." Iida said as Bakugo growled.
"Food's ready." The Drake clones said before dispelling.
Our heroes and heroes in-training walked to see the table was set. A station to make their own ramen with the toppings, broth, meat, and the works made. Side dishes were on another table. Another table had meals for the Pokémon labeled for each trainer to pick up.
"Holy shit."
"The station is set for you all to make your own ramen to your liking." Drake said with a bow. "Albedo, I got your Torchicken ramen with vegetables and broth. Also have your side of chilli with extra onion. Jericho, your favorite."
"Oh, miso-styled broth, Tauros beef, fishcakes, onion, thyme, and extra thick noodles." Jericho said taking a tray licking her lips. "And a side of fried rice and Torchicken."
Shoto was glad he did not have his Torchic out.
"Truly you are a blessing." Albedo said taking his food.
"What can I say, quickest way to seduce and charm is with food." Drake said with a wink as he took his meal.
Everyone got to taking as everyone was back in the sitting area having lunch. Their Pokémon all out having their meals. Small groups were chatting about.
"I got clones making dessert." Jericho said. "I'm baking cookies. Chocolate chip and the works."
"I'm down!" Sato said excitedly. "Need help?"
"Nah, you are my students. I should be handling it, save it for next time." Jericho said.
[-o-]
Later on, after a long day of lessons and training, everyone was off doing their own thing after dinner. Izuku was celebrating that he got another Pokémon of his evolved. Onisu was now a proud Fearow and could carry Izuku into battle. Other students managed to get their own leveled up and/or evolved.
[Cues: kudasai – she said, I wonder]
Drake was in the onsen again having a song play as he soaked alone save for Misa Jima. Mei was busy working on one of her babies.
"Finally, alone." Drake said a sigh before he and MJ sensed a presence. "Well, there's goes that idea."
The opened door revealed Jericho and Nemuri walking in with neither bothering with a towel.
"I admit, you look pretty good." Nemurai said to Jericho.
"I can't look the part of a good fighter without abs like this." Jericho said proudly. "Hey, Drake."
"...ok, is this a booty call?" Drake asked.
Jericho laughed at that.
"I don't know, you want it to be?" Jericho purred. "We haven't had time to ourselves since we got here, and you've been charming the girls. Mei's crazy for you, you know. Pretty sure, Momo's thinking of you. Jiro's all starstruck, and you got Rumi's eye."
"Trying to keep professional." Drake remarked. "I do like Mei, but I don't want to rush that."
"A slow-burn? Seriously?" Nemuri teased.
"He's a romantic. It's sweet." Jericho said blushing a bit. "He always knew how to charm people for the long term. I can do the short term."
"It's why we make a good duo." Drake said revealing a bottle of sake.
"Don't worry about anyone interrupting, I put a sign and locked the door." Jericho said getting in the water with Nemuri.
"All right, let me just enjoy the song and soak. I do want to relax, and I made the water special." Drake said calmy as Jericho affectionately nuzzled into his shoulder.
"I can live with that." Jericho said as she poured a drink.
[-o-]
Jiro and the other girls were having their talk in the onsen for the women.
"I didn't think Drake was the type to play guitar." Jiro said.
"Starstruck, there?" Mina asked as Jiro glared at him. "Oh come on, I'm just teasing."
"Whatever, I mean he's got Jericho." Jiro said.
"I don't think they're dating." Toru remarked. "Jericho would have said something. Besides, if you're curious…you could just ask them. Or Albedo. He's pretty cool."
"A bit standoffish, though." Ochako said.
"Actually, I did ask him." Tsuyu said surprising them. "They're not dating."
"Oh…"
"Albedo was pretty blunt about it once I asked him to straight with me. He basically said they were intimate, but not dating. That if you wanted to get in Drake's pants, you were going to have put up with sharing because Jericho is glued to Drake." Tsuyu said with a blush. "I mean I don't want to just…rush to that but."
"I mean I get that. Those two were through a lot, so they must take comfort in each other." Momo remarked.
"So, he's experienced." Toru teased.
"I can't believe you…"
Then they heard a moan.
"Was that…"
Then another one.
"That had to be Jericho." Momo said as they all moved towards the wall.
The three onsens had three divider walls between them with the special one on one end, the boys on the other, and the girls in the middle.
"So…is Drake there…"
THUMP! Jericho's back was on the wall as the girls could hear the slapping of flesh along with her moaning. Despite her internal objections, Jiro used her earphone jack to listen in.
"Fuck, Drake! I missed this so much." Jericho said. "Albedo and Harley can please, but…"
"I know." Drake growled.
"Hey, why do I have to watch? Can't you make clones?" Nemuri asked.
"You can use your fingers. I'll deal with you myself after Jeri." Drake said slamming into her harder.
"He's got two girls with him. I think the other one is Midnight." Jiro whispered.
"Even a pro wants a piece of him." Mina mumbled.
"It's not nice to keep a—"
Drake had a clone shut her up by shoving a dick in her mouth and grabbing her hair as it slammed it down her throat.
"Nice one, Saph." Jericho said as Drake tightened her grip on him. "Now ravage me!"
He did and Jiro had a front row seat in listening to dirty dealings. And now Nemuri was next. Jiro was a bit annoyed they did not do it against the shell, but she was hearing Jericho's labored breathing as she leaned on the wall. Jericho smirked before activating her Omnitrix to transform. Jiro and other girls felt a chill despite the water being hot.
"Why do I have a feeling I'm being watched?" Toru said.
"Oh, but you are." A ghastly voice said getting the hairs on the back of their necks go up.
"Who's there? Show yourself…" Momo demanded.
What was there was a ghostly figure with a gaseous appearance, claw-like hands, spiked shoulders, , and dark green skin with black lines running all over her feminime appearance. The Omnitrix symbol peeked out of her skin on her lower left chest. A lime green eye with a black pupil looked at them.
"I'm surprised you have the guts to do that."
"Wait…Jericho?!" Ochako said as Jiro went pale.
A green flash and Jericho were back in her human form still having clear signs of sex on her including the spunk on her chest and the bite marks.
"Yes, it is I. I sensed Jiro, and I thought maybe she was peeping. I guessed right." Jericho said as Jiro pulled the jack out. "Not that I mind."
"Wait, you don't?" Tsuyu said.
"If I did, I wouldn't have come over with his spunk on my body, now would I? Most of the time, I don't mind a voyeur." Jericho said as Jiro blushed. "I have a feeling some of you are interested…curious about my sapphire."
"Yes." Tsuyu said bluntly.
"Um, I should go see what Deku's doing." Ochako said moving to leave.
"You know he digs you? Izuku? He's just a bit shy, but his growing confidence lately may make him receptive to an offer for a date." Jericho said encouraging her. "And you probably should as a confident Izuku does attract a lot of women."
"Oh…um thanks." Ochako said as she left.
"But I should probably ask for those without a more than 50% interest move aside so I can talk to those that to." Jericho said as Toru and Mina decided to get out.
"I do have an interest, but I'm split on it." Mina said before leaving. "You girls can tell me the details later."
"All right." Jericho said wiping off the spunk. "I'll be pretty blunt on the matter. I think Drake likes Mei and Momo, as for you and Tsuyu…it'll come. You want him, just spend time with him. He's a slow-burner, a romantic used to juggling those interested. Big tip, you may want to get used to sharing because I think Miruko has an interest in him And of course, there's me."
She eased into water right next to Jiro.
"Now Jiro, I am going to have to punish you for peeping in on us." Jericho said with a wry look. "But your punishment is going to help you get his attention."
"I have a bad feeling about this." Jiro said.
"Oh, don't worry. It's nothing too bad. I just want to you to ask for his opinion on you." Jericho said as Jiro looked mortified. "What? I could have asked for worse."
"I mean…she could." Tsuyu admitted.
"Don't worry…you're pretty and he's a flatter. Whenever I'm feeling low, he can make me feel better and moist." Jericho said. "Welp, I need to go back. Drake's probably about to blow the payload in Midnight."
Jericho used the watch to turn back into that ghost alien and go through the wall leaving the three girls at a loss for words.
"If it makes you feel better, we'll help you." Tsuyu said assuring Jiro.
"I just realized she was checking us all out while she was talking." Momo said.
"She did she was bi." Tsuyu said as Jiro groaned.
On the other side, Drake pulled out to give Nemuri the bukkake she was craving splattering her face and torso with that good sauce. He panted admittingly relived…being in here was getting to him a little. A green flash and Jericho was back in her human form.
"You done?" Jericho said. "Good, you should go out of the onsen for a bit. I'll clean this up."
Misa Jima handed him a towel as Drake and her left. Jericho stepped over to Nemuri who had a pleased look on her face.
"So, he was a stud like Harley said." Nemuri said as Jericho looked down at her.
"He is. But you're going to clean up the mess…." Jericho said with a grin and a gesture downwards. "Unless you want 'convince' me to it."
Nemuri took the hint.

Drake thought he was the only one up at this point as he sat on the steps out of the building leading to the white void. He played his guitar having a simple melancholic medley taking in the moment. He sensed he was not alone.
"Jiro. Still up?" He asked not even looking back.
"I couldn't sleep." Jiro half-lied. "And I just wanted to talk to you."
She sat next to him.
"Something on your mind?" He asked as he ended up playing another tune on his guitar.
[Cues: Michiko e Hatchin OST – Sozinho]
"It's to ask what do you think of me." Jiro said nervously.
"What brought this up?" Drake asked.
Jiro blushed red inwardly terrified as Jericho explicitly warned her not to tell him of her involvement…or else.
"I…I….just have a hard time getting guys to notice me!" She said making an excuse.
"I figured that wouldn't be the case. You remind me of two people…Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane. If anything, you're like a fusion of them as you got elements of both of them. The one thing was while they weren't overly busty or anything…they were capable of attracting plenty when they went all out on their looks. You don't exactly have to go all out as you're not hiding most of your good looks. So, you're a bit waifish, you don't need to be like Momo or Tsuyu or anything else. Be yourself, and they'll come in time." Drake said. "And on that note, you're training to be a fighter…you'll grow."
"Thanks, Drake." Jiro said sheepishly.
"Besides, you're a rocker. I am aware you got a good singing voice too, you can always attract with your voice." Drake said with a teasing tint to his voice.
"I…didn't take my guitar with me." Jiro said as he finished playing.
[Music Ends]
"Wait here." Drake said before going inside.
He returned a black guitar case giving it to Jiro.
"I think what's inside may fix the problem." Drake remarked as she opened it.
The case revealed a purple and white Rickenbacker 4001.
"Bat-class, like mine. Has a similar weapons setup. It was my prototype guitar, but I wound up preferring the Flying V. I just had to alter the color." Drake mused. "I'll teach you how to use it. After all, for Earphone Jack, a guitar is a fitting weapon. All you need a flying Vespa motorcycle…"
"It's beautiful…but I can't possibly accept…"
"I insist. What good is a fortune if you have friends or people you care about to enjoy it with." Drake said as Jiro accidently opened the hidden counterpart.
The guitar went up to reveal a small cache of pistols from the likes of FusionFall, submachine guns, knives, grenades, a grenade launcher, and a pair of brass knuckles.
"If it's one thing I learned is…always carry hidden weapons in your case. The case is lined for scanners not to pick up on that." Drake said as Jiro closed the case. "Well, good night. Maybe we could play some music together."
Drake went off to bed leaving Jiro to look at the case, a mix of emotions. However, a prevalent thought was…just how casually Drake give her weapons like it was candy. The case even had a magnetic clip to allow to carry it on your side.
"This is crazy…" Jiro thought.
