I wanted this chapter to be longer and to post it earlier. But it became too big when I started writing it and it would take too much time to complete it. It would be posted yesterday but my internet connection failed :(. Today I had some more time but I also had an killer headache so I wasn't able to expand it. Oh well. You'll just have to wait a bit longer^_^.

"Another tea, sempai? Of course! And how many lumps? Two? Here you go!" Said Ascott cheerfully.
She was a short, black haired girl dressed mostly in green (chibi Maya Ibuki ^_^ - author). She was sitting in a big garden, having a tea party with her friends and her sempai. They were all dressed in lovely pink tutus.
"You also want some, Sachiel?" strange beast, which view bring to mind an American football player pulled inside out, made a strange sound in confirmation. Because he got no mouth, all of the tea was spilled on his pink tutu.
"Oh no! Now I will have to wash again! Sempai why aren't you drinking? Your tea is going to get cold."
"Ascott? What are you doing?"
When turned around she saw one of lord Zagato's lackeys.
"Oh hi, Alcione. What do you want? I was talking with my sempai."
"That's a lawn dwarf..."
"No it's my sempai!!! She was just cursed by those evil Magic Knights!"
"Yeah whatever. Zagato said you are to be the next one to take care of them."
"So you blew it?" asked the little girl, smiling wickedly.
"You would love that, wouldn't you?" smiled Alcione. "Unfortunately for you, Zagato decided that I was too important to risk my life in such a unimportant mission. So he's sending you. Have fun with your furbags."
'Old hag.' thought Ascott. 'She just won't admit it, would she? Like if it wasn't obvious.'
"So sempai?" she returned to her cheerful mood. "Did you want some more tea?"

Clefia was in hell. Not only was she imprisoned in this stupid and ridiculous form, but now she was dressed in a pink tutu and full of tea. Unfortunately for her she couldn't speak. Her only way of communication was the TV on Pen Pen's back, but he was far away. She just prayed that no one who knew her had seen her like this.

"Are we taping this Innova?"
"Of course sir."
"Excellent."

"Well this is where we part our ways." said Ferio, when they've reached the border of the Forest of Silence.
"Why?" Shinji asked disappointed. "Aren't you coming at Misato's?"
"Now Shinji don't forget," mocked Asuka "this IS a secret military area, isn't it?"
"Well I would want to give you something" said the white haired boy, nearing to Shinji, who of course blushed. He then put something pink and gold into the smaller boy's hand. "It's magical. If say your wish to it, it shall come true."
"Hey!" yelled Asuka. "Why does only the baka get a present?!"
"Because I think I like him. Ja ne!" and he ran away.
Shinji was red as a tomato. Asuka was dumb struck. Rei was... well Rei. After a while Asuka gave Shinji a very cold glare, but strangely didn't cool his face down. Quite the opposite even.
"Gross..." she said finally, thinking that it was a good idea to order Shinji to sleep with her instead of sleeping with Ferio (in one room that is, you little hentais ^_^ - author).
"What do mean by that, knight Sohryu?" asked Rei in her soft voice. "Do you not tolerate people interested in their own sex? Of all of the people, you are the last one I would suspect of that."
It's quite hard to imagine that, but her voice was dripping acid. Asuka quickly guessed what she meant by that and had beaten Shinji in blushing.
"Okay let's go ahead" said Shinji, just to end the weird conversation and get going.

When they arrived at the complex (let's skip all of the fights between the unlucky monsters and blood thirsty Asuka, shall we?) they were astonished by the scale of the destruction that has occurred during their absence. The walls were shattered, the bushes were burnt to the ground and all sorts of rubble were all over the place.
They soon found Presea, leaning over the wall and sitting in a pool of red.
"PRESEA!!!" Shinji raced to her. "Who did this?"
"...Shinji...?" she said weakly, barely opening her eyes.
"Don't move! I will use my healing spell!"
"There is... no time... You have go to that chamber" she pointed to one of a few left buildings. "There is a machine there. Put the Escudo... inside... and it will make you a weapon..." after that she went silent.
"PRESEA!!!" screamed both Shinji and Asuka.
"Zzzzzzzz..."
Face fault of the month. After recovering Asuka came closer and smelled the sleeping cat guardian. And her eyes bulged out.
"How could I get caught like that stupid baka?! This is Bloody Mary!"
"A what?"
"Oh right, Japanese don't drink those kind of things. It's a kind of alcohol to put it simply. Of course normal people DO NOT drink that much of this stuff." she said, glaring at Presea with disgrace (remember that glare she gave Shinji in episode 26 when he collided with Rei ^_^? - author). "Let's go and get this over with."
"You suppose that she destroyed the complex all by herself?" asked Shinji in disbelief.
"It would be the only explanation, Shinji-kun, since there is nobody else here."
"The hell right, Wonder Girl. Even the cats had run away. Can't blame'em actually."

"So this is what you have to do Shamshel. Got that?" the little girl got some kind of a growl as a reply. She was obviously certain what it meant, though. At least, she looked that way. "Good. Now go forth and destroy those who had changed my sempai into a cute statue! Buahahaha!!!"
Big balloon-like creature sweat dropped but did as he was said. The going part I mean.

"That's it?" said Asuka, trying to melt the machine with a glare. "We had to go on a fucking quest, risk our lives, and all because this slot machine only accepts Portuguese money?! This is nonsense!!!"
"Tell me about it. You at least had some fun slaughtering all of those monsters."
"Well excuse for saving your stinkin' ass, mister invincible!"
"Duck..." suddenly whispered Rei to Shinji ear. Asuka got good hearing so she heard it and was also able to avoid the attack. "Fuck." the quiet girl commented softly.
"Nice poetry Rei," mocked Asuka, standing up. "Why the fuck did you do that?"
"MIZU NO RYU!" was Rei's answer. The redhead dodged again and the spell hit the balloon-like monster (balloon isn't the only thing Shamshel reminds me of, but I shall remain silent ^_^). "You were in peril knight Sohryu so I helped you."
"Well... thanks" said Asuka. 'I'll eat my shoes if I believe in that, Wonder Girl' was what she thought.
'Damn she dodged again' was what Rei was thinking.
Mean while the monster came back unnoticed by both ladies. Shinji, seeing that both girls are busy with themselves (gotta get a grip on my self or this is really going to end as a Rei/Asuka ^_^ - author) thought that this is finally time for him to save the day. Not that he was over-joyful about this. He only knew one offensive spell but he thought it could be useful against a overgrown, brown cucumber.
"Midori no Shippu!!!" green waves of air launched towards Shamshel but were shattered by his glowing tentacles. Shinji quickly fell to the ground, pulling Asuka with him. The other girl jumped away.
"Why did you saved ME, Shinji?" whispered the girl, not looking in his eyes and shining with red.
"You were closer." said Shinji. The fact that he was true didn't save him from challenging her into a blushing contest.
"Oh..." she managed to say. "In that case... LOOK OUT!!!" They've barely rolled away from another impact. Second later Asuka was already on her feet and charging on the monster.
"OMAE WA KOROSU!!!" as I said before, she was watching too much anime, including Gundam Wing of course. She also kept forgetting that she wasn't made of gundamium, or hadn't had an AT Field for that matter. "KYAAAA!!!"
"ASUKA!!!" the boy wanted to run to the point where she fell but he was almost washed away by another Rei's spell. He tripped and fell beside the machine. When he was blindly fingering the ground under himself he felt something hard. He opened his eyes and saw his sword. He awkwardly took it in his hands and looked at the monster, which started advancing again. He had never used a sword before but he felt that this time he has no choice. He started chanting his battle mantra (oh you know what I mean it's not that hard to guess^_^ - author).
Then suddenly he launched to the beast and plunged his sword to a ball under his head (????). And the monster... exploded.
"So he really was a balloon." said Shinji sheepishly. "What a smell... eeewww!"
Then remembered about Asuka's condition. He looked in her way and found Rei heading in her direction. When she spotted his gaze she quickly hid something behind her back. However, Shinji could see a sword's blade from over her shoulder.
"Could you knock it off? Be the resonable one."
"Why do I always have to be the reasonable one?" she said monotonously.
"Ehm... please?" he tried.
"If I am ordered I will do it." she said. There was a tune of stubbornness in her voice, though. The boy sighed. It was going to be long night.

About a half an mile away Ascott was crying her head off and saying hundreds of words inappropriate for a little girl. And swearing revenge, of course.

"Oh my God, my head!" said Presea, getting up finally. She received two evil glares and one emotionless. "What? Holy shit! What happened here?! Clefia is gonna kill me!!!"
"We don't know. It was like this when we arrived." explained Asuka. "What the fuck were you doing!? Playin' with a bazooka?!"
"No I don't know anyone called Bazuka. I was just cookin' and..."
"Figures." murmured Shinji. Then he stated "We better get going. We don't know when the enemy will start another attack, solet's hurry."
"I agree" said Rei silently. "Come on knight Sohryu. Pen Pen has already moved."
"Awww, going so soon?" pouted Presea. "You won't even have breakfast?"
"No thanks" said the whole three in unison. Even Rei had terror in her eyes. "We got to get going. Bye!"
"See ya kids!" she started waving cheerfully.
"Kids? How dare she..."
"Come on Asuka. It ain't worth it..."
