Author's note: Thanks for waiting, as always!

And yes, there will be a harem route, as demonstrated here. Sorry if this took way longer than expected...

Not to mention there will be certain scenes that are edited out.

Enjoy!

"...actually, I'm in love with all five of them."

Athena was floored by such a statement, and inquired, "But...why all of them, I may ask?"

"Well," Patroklos began, "they're all pretty unique in terms of both fighting style and personality. I mean, Marie's peppy, Helen's reserved, Lydia's strong-willed, Liz's kind and Isuzu's confident. And they're all beautiful, last but not least. That's why I'm attracted to each of the Mad Hearts Neo."

Scratching her head, the goddess let out a deep breath before she spoke up. "If that's what you want, then so be it. I won't stop you."

A smile formed on her lips, as did Patroklos's as he nodded. He then asked, "Will you bring them here?"

"Perhaps."

After saying those words, Athena took off, leaving him waiting patiently.

Some time later, Athena had successfully convinced the Mad Hearts Neo to rendezvous with Patroklos. However, there was one more person left, that being Marie.

Reminiscing about the past, the German girl turned to see that the goddess was ready to approach her. To her surprise, Freyja had also shown up.

Briefly removing their cloaks, Athena said, "I do believe Patroklos would like to have a word with you. It seems he's got something very...unique on his mind."

"Unique? What for?" Marie asked.

"Perhaps it looks like he's very much into the five of you." Freyja said with a grin.

"That was my answer, Freyja." the Greek goddess of wisdom told her with a sigh. She then looked over at the blonde, and said, "I suggest you head back to the base."

Marie was confused at first, but nodded in agreement. She then headed off, with the two goddesses behind her.

One by one, the MHN entered his room. "I've been waiting to get this off my chest." he said.

"Athena and Freyja told me about how you were courting the five of us." Marie told him.

"That's right, because I couldn't make up my mind about who I'll spend the rest of life living with and battling alongside with." Patroklos replied.

"So you're saying that you love all of us? And not just in a friendly way?" Lydia asked.

"Yes. And that's why I want to inquire if you would spend the night with me. All of you."

The women were initially flabbergasted, but realizing that it was all for the better, they smiled in mutual agreement. "If that's what you want, then so be it." Marie said, leaning in to kiss him deeply before playfully pushing him onto the bed.

And with that, Patroklos would experience something he hadn't seen coming: spending a night with all five members of the Mad Hearts Neo until they were worn out. Yet it was clear that there were thoughts in their heads.

Would we ever make it out alive?

Will there be any lives sacrificed?

Will Soul Calibur triumph over Soul Edge?

Regardless, they would all sleep together.

And with that, chapter 17 will be coming up soon!
