Eddy was awoken from his slumber to feel someone else in his bed. At first, he chalked it up to Ed having snuck in to ask questions about life again when he suddenly felt something soft press against his face, like pillows made of...flesh?
"What the-?" He muttered as he slowly blinked his eyes open before seeing Haruka looking at him with a playful smile...also, she was butt-naked.
"GAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?!"
"You looked so lonely, so I figured I'd keep you company~."
"GET OUT OF MY BED!"
Homura was in the kitchen with a cup of coffee in hand that Kevin had brewed for her. The Jock of Peach Creek was busy pouring himself some milk and cereal when he heard the sound of Eddy screaming in terror.
"Heh, looks like Dorky got a surprise in his bed."
"Nah, that's probably Haruka..." Homura sighed as she sipped the liquid caffeine. Yomi was also in the kitchen and frying bean sprouts in a pan for breakfast while whistling a cheerful song.
Double-D was also already awake and tinkering with something. He took out his knife and then began adding it to something. Soon, he was finished with what he was making and smiled proudly as he picked up the handle and pressed a button, causing a blade of red plasma energy to ignite into existence from it.
"Success!"
Double-D took his newly created lightsaber and stashed the handle in the pocket space of his hat before heading out to join the others for breakfast.
Johnny was sleeping in his room with Plank when he felt someone hugging him from behind. Perking up, he rolled around to see Hikage was hugging him...and she wasn't wearing a bra.
"FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!"
Plank flew out of the bedroom as Johnny tried to get Hikage off him and wake her up. If one looked closely, the hunk of wood's face was in a surprised and embarrassed expression complete with an actual blush.
In Jimmy's room, he was getting dressed when he noticed Mirai walking from the guest room in heart-print white pajamas and pink socks. The petite girl rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she saw Jimmy applying his retainer.
"Hey, Jimmy, why do you wear that thing?"
"My teeth got damaged in a scam by Eddy back home. I don't like to talk about it." The frail boy said in embarrassment.
"Ed-Boy! Arise and greet the dawn at the crow of the rooster!" Rolf barked as he made his way to Ed's bed to wake him up. The lovable oaf was still fast asleep before the Son of a Shepard decided to take drastic measures and blow on a bugle-horn he pulled out of nowhere.
"PRIVATE DO NOT ENTER IS READY FOR DUTY, CHIEF!" Ed shouted as he shot out of bed and gave a salute as Rolf smiled.
"There you go, Ed-Boy. Ready to peel the eggplants!"
After having breakfast, the Peach Creek Boys and the Crimson Squad headed into town together, considering that the current job the girls were working at was located there.
"So, Sockhead, what should we even do today?" Eddy asked.
"Well, considering we still need to decide on which Shinobi School to train at, we should visit the girls again or see if they're around town."
"HEY!"
"Speak of the devil..." Eddy chuckled as everyone noticed the girls from Hanzo approaching them, Asuka and Hibari waving them over.
"Hey, you met Homura-Chan and the others!" Asuka said with a smile as she recognized her rival there along with the rest of the Crimson Squad.
"Yup, we've seen all the Shinobi Schools," Kevin said. "Though you girls could have warned us that the other two were girl's only."
"Sorry, must have slipped our minds." Katsuragi shrugged before grinning as she leaned over Eddy. "And how's my little man doing?"
"Bite me, blondie."
"So how are you and Plank doing, Johnny-Kun?" Hibari asked as the Wood-Loving Boy smiled, holding his friend to his cheek.
"Plank told me last night that something big is happening to him. I bet he's finally growing up!"
"Ah, Rolf is glad to see you are doing well, Squid Loving Yagyuu-Girl," Rolf said to the albino in question, who nodded.
"Yes, it's nice to see you in good health as well."
"I trust things are going well regardless? Ikaruga asked Jimmy, who nodded.
"We're probably thinking of joining you. I actually think you might be the best choice, though I did meet someone at Gessen..."
Ikaruga noticed Jimmy's blush and gave a friendly smile as she could only guess one such person who could catch his eye, judging by his character.
However, before anybody could say anything else, a strange dark barrier formed over the town. Looking around, the group of seventeen all began getting on guard before plumes of black smoke began forming out of nowhere, leaving behind hideous monsters in the process.
"What in heaven's name are those?!" Double-D asked.
Kevin sniffed before wrinkling his nose. "Whatever they are, they reek."
"I think we're under attack," Hikage said in her usual monotone as Mirai turned to her exasperatedly.
"Can you say it any more bored-like?!"
"Well, whatever these creatures are, we can't let them rampage in town!" Asuka said as she pulled out her scroll from, of all things, her breasts. "EVERYONE, TIME TO TRANSFORM!"
"Right!" The rest of the girls said as they pulled out their own scrolls. "SHINOBI TENSHIN!"
In a flash of light, the girls' clothes vanished and were replaced with new outfits. Some had a certain ninja aesthetic to them, such as Asuka, Homura, Ikaruga, and Yagyuu. Some appeared rather casual, like Katsuragi and Hikage, and some were out of place, like with Haruka, Hibari, Mirai, and Yomi.
"Good lord...!" Double-D breathed in surprise as Eddy saw some of the more raunchy-looking outfits of the girls and grinned, his nose bleeding as he nudged Kevin, who smirked in return, his nose also bleeding.
"Avert your eyes, Plank!" Johnny yelled, covering Plank's eyes like a parent shielding their child from something indecent.
"Shiver me timbers!" Jimmy yelped, covering his blushing face while Ed was just excited by the whole transforming thing.
"Oh, our turns!"
"Ed-Boy is correct! We have scrolls too, yes?" Rolf affirmed as all the boys got their wits about them and took out their own scrolls before mimicking the same motion as the girls.
"SHINOBI TENSHIN!"
Like the girls, the boys' clothes vanished before being replaced with new outfits. When the light subsided, the seven looked at their new duds.
Ed had bright green Samurai-esque armor, complete with a helmet and mask that shrouded his face. His Kanabo was gripped tightly in his hand as he slammed it down in a menacing manner.
Double-D had bright red lightweight armor with red gauntlet-esque gloves, red leather boots, and a black scarf covering his mouth. He drew his lightsaber and ignited it, much to Ed, Mirai, and surprisingly Ikaruga's excitement when they saw it.
Eddy wore a brown vest with a fur collar, reinforced armored pants, and black boots. He spun his Blue Fin Tunas out and held them tightly like they were swords.
Kevin had a black biker jacket, a green undershirt, biker pants, biker boots with spikes on the toes, and black fingerless gloves with studs on the back. He also wore black shades as he pulled out his Buster Sword and held it tightly in his grip.
Rolf wore black obsidian-like armor with a hooded cape and mask that covered his mouth and nose. He adjusted his gauntlets before drawing out his Tomahawk and holding it fiercely.
Johnny wore a respirator-like mask over his mouth and nose with Plank strapped securely to his back and a white bandana tied around his forehead. He also wore a sleeveless white muscle shirt, baggy blue pants, and black boots with tubes going through them. He spun out his hook swords and struck a pose.
Finally, Jimmy wore scaled sky blue armor with a star in the center and white pauldrons on the shoulders. He had golden boots and his hammer was gripped firmly in his hands.
"Wow, you guys look so cool!" Hibari said with stars in her eyes.
"Yeah, check me out! I can kill so many people like this just by having them look at me!" Eddy grinned cockily as he smoothed his hair back.
"Is that a frickin' lightsaber?! You gotta tell me how you made that!" Mirai squealed in excitement at Double-D's weapon as the nerdy Ed-boy blushed at her praise.
"Well, hopefully, we'll survive this incident first before we get to those details."
"CRUSH THE BAD GUYS!" Ed screamed as he raised his Kanabo in the air and already began pouncing into the gathered horde of enemies, sending many flying as he slammed into them like a bullet train.
"Ed seems to be quite excited. Can't say I blame him, I haven't had a good fight in a long time!" Homura grinned as she brandished her katana claws. "SAVE SOME FOR ME, BIG GUY!"
"Homura-Chan, be careful!" Asuka said as he pulled out a pair of katanas and chased after her rival.
"Hey, wanna see how many kills we can get, Hikage?" Katsauragi asked as she readied her greaves.
"Is this a challenge?" Hikage flatly asked as she spun out her knife.
"I feel like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Plank!" Johnny said to his wooden pal strapped to his back as he crossed his hook swords together while Yagyuu readied her umbrella.
"Don't get cocky, Johnny-Kun. Arrogance often leads to an early death."
"Good thing we're gonna go all out on this twerps!" Kevin said as he jumped into the fray with a battle cry, Ikaruga sighing as she readied her Nodachi sword.
"He's quite quick to jump into battle. How unlike some people I know."
"Care to see how I get work done?" Haruka cooed to Rolf as she stroked the 'chin' of a ball-shaped robot she summoned that had two arms with boxing glove fists.
"Rolf shall show you how the old country wins its battles!" The Son of a Shepard simply said as he readied his Tomahawk and raised it high, letting out a war cry as he charged after the closest enemies he could find. Haruka merely giggled as she followed after him.
"If you need help, Jimmy, just know you can count on us to watch your back," Yomi said as she pulled out her claymore while Jimmy readied his hammer.
"O-Okay, Ms. Yomi."
Together, the group of seventeen took charge against these mysterious new adversaries, the Peach Creek Boys thinking this was only a taste of what was to come in the future.
Since I'm not good at drawing fight scenes, you'll just have to imagine how awesome the resulting battle is. All you need to know is our heroes won.
