Chapter Three: The Holy Ark
Naota was about to bolt when suddenly a black Kanchi clone grabbed him from behind.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Naota struggled to get free, but this robot had a very tight grip.
"I have to say, I am most impressed by the data collected when you were fused with Atomsk. You might have actually been a challenge. Unfortunately, it seems he is no where to be found."
"I don't care about that!"
"Well kid, without his help, you won't be getting away. You'll be placed in a sub space prison until we do find him."
Eri stepped between Naota and Caspar. "I won't let you take him!"
"I don't think you're in my league. Step away or die!"
Mamimi also stepped in between the boy and the former Space Police Brotherhood agent. "Anywhere he goes, we go!"
Naota was flabbergasted. "Wha?"
Eri concurred with Mamimi. "That's right, you'll have to lock us up too!"
'Damn his women are fine, and loyal too.' Caspar was always a sucker for sentimentality. "Alright kids, pack your bags. We're going on a trip."
((((b))))
In the darkest layers of the Iron plant in the center of Mabase, the fiend in black eyed a large metal blast door that read Sub Space Container. He wasn't sure why Caspar allowed the ark's women to accompany him, but it was of no consequence. 'Perhaps he will manage to fooly cooly in his final hours?' He could sense that Atomsk would soon come so he could initiate the plan to conquer all.
((((b))))
The sub space prison was a dark and cold place. It seemed they were floating around in endless darkness. However, there was some light. It was being emitted from some sort of oasis, which contained both a hot and cold spring. Naota found it odd that there would be such a thing in the middle of no where, but he couldn't complain.
Eri yawned. "I'm in the mood for a bath." She cooed, "Naota-kun, why don't you take one with me?"
"Really?" The young man sounded joyous.
"If Naota-kun bathes with anyone it's gonna be me!" Mamimi insisted.
They argued incoherencies for several seconds until Naota couldn't take any more. "Cut the crap!"
"Naota-kun?" They simultaneously whispered.
"Look, there's no telling how long we're gonna be stuck here, so let's learn to get along. As for bathing..." The boy blushed. "Maybe all three of us could bathe together?"
((((Insert kinky hentai scene here.))))
After all was said and done; Naota, Eri, and Mamimi, all nude, sat against the wall of the hot spring. The women, half asleep, laid their heads on his shoulder.
"We love you Naota-kun," they murmured.
'You know, prison ain't so bad!' Naota mused to himself.
((((b))))
In outer space, a gargantuan fiery red bird flew across the cosmos at tremendous speeds exceeding light. 'The time has come, soon the ark and I shall be one, permanently.'
((((b))))
The command center of the Iron-shaped facility was in an uproar.
Bridge Bunny 1 screamed, "Atomsk is closing in!"
Bridege Bunny 2 also screamed, "Anti-AT fields are resonating, soon all entities will lose their ability to maintain individual form!"
The black cloaked man scorned, "Damn it Bridge Bunny 2, you've been watching too much Evangelion!"
Bridge Bunny 3 screamed as well, "Sir, we're picking up a pattern from the MAGI. It's confirmed, blood type blue. It's an Angel!"
The cloaked fiend was pissed. "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND OPEN THE SUB SPACE CONTAINER!"
Agent Caspar calmly awaited in the shadows. 'The time has come! Soon I shall see if I am more powerful than Atomsk; God himself!'
((((b))))
The trio of lovers were in awe as they saw the celestial phoenix closing in on their positions.
Time seemed to stop as the great bird communicated to the boy telepathically, "Naota Nandaba, are you ready to prove your existence?"
"Atomsk?"
"You must be willing to prove your existence, only then shall you muster the power needed to destroy Medical Meccanica once and for all. If you accept not your existence, all will be lost."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Let me make this simple. Have you seen Evangelion?"
"Who hasn't? In fact, my dad was fanatical and made me watch it religiously."
"Well, you know how Shinji was being a total wuss instead of fighting his enemies during The End of Evangelion?"
"Yeah..."
"If you do not accept your destiny, the earth shall be screwed in a similar way."
"What is my destiny?"
"You are to become my ark, the vessel which will contain my power for all eternity. You see, we are pieces of a puzzle. We cannot be complete with out the other."
"That sort of makes sense."
"Accept your fate, become one with me and liberate this world from the clutches of evil!"
"Very well." Naota had a stern look on his face, he was ready to face the challenge to come!
"Then it shall be done."
A blinding light engulfed the entire earth. When all was said and done, the excess light cleared Naota was glowing red, just like six years ago.
"Naota-kun?" Eri inquired.
"They are now one," Mamimi spoke in awe, "just like six years ago."
"Well well, God. It seems you have been completed at last... and permanently at that."
The celestial Naota turned to him. "Are you so intent on proving your existence?"
"You better fuggin' believe it. Even if I have to slay god to do so!"
The young man, or god rather, sighed. "I guess it cannot be helped."
