Chapter 58 - Surprise Encounters

The following morning, Nico grumbled as he walked Leanbox's streets, head hanging low as he mauled over what had happened to him. Thanks to Neptune's little stunt, the teen had to spend several hours calming the other two down, to convince them that he hadn't done anything to her. Neptune's HDD self, Purple Heart didn't help matters either, teasing and goading him much to his ire… and slight arousal, but he managed to keep a tight lid on that part.

By gods, what happened that night was possibly one of the most mind-blowing experiences he ever had. Neptune may have taken his first kiss as a human, but her HDD form was on a whole new level. The amount of intensity, passion and emotion she invoked during that moment had blown his sense of composure to smithereens. It was a surprise he had managed to recover at all with what she did, and she likely would have done more had IF and Compa not interrupted her.

Thinking back on it, Nico was glad that happened, because for one, what happened back there had completely caught him off guard, he had no defences in place for such an invasion, and that proved to be costly. He would have to make sure to fortify his mental defences against Purple Heart in the future, so last night didn't happen again. Nico had let loose instincts that he had repressed for a long time, not just out of contempt, but out of fear, fear of letting someone get too close to the beast inside, too close to the monster he truly was, the abomination that was Nico.

However, in one night those suppressing methods were undone, by one sole Goddess.

Such intense feelings, such a situation, Nico had not ONCE experienced in his life as a Spec Ops Agent. Thus, he had no idea on what to do now, hell he didn't even know what got into Neptune to do that stuff last night, he had been racking his brain for answers and had come up with nothing. There wasn't anything special about him, he believed anyways, that would warrant her wanting to do those things with him. He didn't see himself as someone who was worthy of having such attention, no, he DEFINITELY didn't see himself as someone like that. Not with the piece of shit that he had become.

The teen mentally frowned as he realised something. He would have to find ways to stop this in the future, he had to nip this in the bud before things got out of hand. She shouldn't have to have something as terrible as being with him happen to her. She deserved so much better than that. She deserved more than what he could give. He was a monster, he was a piece of shit, he didn't deserve anything like that. Fantasies were meant to stay as such, when man attempted to dream big, nine times out of ten those dreams ended up dragging them into shit. In this case, that chance was 100%.

Under normal circumstances, Nico would have dismissed it as Neptune trying to tease him like she normally did in her HDD Form…

So, what was different now?

These thoughts plagued him constantly, until finally Nico had enough and decided to take a walk to clear his head, leaving a note in the hotel room they'd got to explain to the girls where he was. It wasn't like he couldn't take care of himself, but communication was key when in a group of soldiers. A party was no different.

Which lead to him wandering Leanbox's streets. Now, as a spectator he found nothing to be particularly wrong with the city, the people were living peacefully, and the economy looked good. However, as a Spec Ops Agent, hell even if he was an adventurer, the signs would have been obvious. Nico could see it in the faces of the civilians that he passed by, there was an uneasy tension in the air, one that they tried to ignore but deep in their minds they knew of its existence. He figured it was from all this talk about Overlord Momus, or whatever.

Speaking of said Overlord, Nico could see people dressed like that con man Neptune and the others described to him after the chaos died down, preaching about their beliefs to the populace, trying to recruit followers. Some even tried to recruit him, but Nico always shot them away with a brief raising of his KI. 'This is bad, the situation here may seem stable, but that will change if this goes on…' he thought worriedly, before looking down at his right arm.

Thanks to his Spec Ops attire being destroyed thanks to Berserker Mode, he had to change to his civilian clothes. In hindsight, they were better for his situation right now since they let him blend with the normal populace more. 2 things survived however, his Bracers and his Armour Module. He had no idea how at first, until Biko told him that he had spared some energy to keep them from breaking under the strain his Berserker Mode put on them.

His civilian clothes consisted of a black sleeveless hoodie, with a grey trim around the hood. Underneath, was a long sleeved grey T shirt, his hands being bare. He wore a pair of grey baggy pants with black ankle-high with boots. His bracers were hidden beneath his T shirt, and his armour Module was safely attached to his chest under the hoodie and shirt. He lacked the holsters and straps that he would need for his weapons like Harvester, Rebellion etc, however he could just summon them from his Void Storage into his hands instead of the holsters. The reason why he wore them because he thought they looked cool, and had only one set.

Though, Nico did hear rumours of an upgrade coming that'll let him summon his items and gear from his Void Storage on mental command…

Shaking his head, the male pushed those thoughts aside for the moment as he stepped off the main street and into a residential area. The city of Leanbox was separated into several districts: the trade district, the residential district and the divine district. The trade District was the biggest of the three with the divine district following suit. That wasn't to say that the residential district was big, just in comparison to the other two it was sorely lacking. As their names, civilians live in the residential district, they went to work in the trade district, and worshipped the Goddess Green Heart in the divine district. That was also where the Basilicom was.


Wandering the residential district, Nico saw how deserted the streets were, compared to that of the Trade District. It made sense, considering it was late morning approaching lunch time, so people were likely already at work in the Trade district. 'Leanbox has a decent population size I must admit, to pull this off like they do… though I get the feeling that the size of this City is trying to say something.' He thought, humming as he walked.

While he walked, Nico's eyes narrowed, his nose twitching as a scent whiffed into his nostrils. Pheromones, ones to do with lust and fear, whiffed into them and it was more than a little concerning. In his line of work, this usually meant one thing, which made Nico grit his teeth. He quickly summoned his Mask from his Void storage, putting it on before summoning Harvester, strapping it to his back with thin trails of demonic energy keeping it there. With those steps out the way, Nico shot towards the source of the scent he had detected.

The reaper was out to catch some souls…

It didn't take him long to locate the source, which was in a deserted dark alleyway on the opposite side of the Residential district, close to the divine district as well now that he thought about it, but that didn't register in Nico's mind for long. Landing on top of an observing roof, the teen peered down into the alleyway, and almost flipped his lid at what he saw.

Below him, 8 men in black bandit masks were gathered around this young woman. He couldn't see her very well from up here since the men were in the way. She must have put up a fight though, as several guys were lying on the ground around them, with a spear-like weapon deposited to the top of a garbage dispenser. The men all wore casual clothing, some of them even looked like they never exercised in their lives and all of them were looking at the woman they restrained with lust.

If this wasn't rape, then he didn't know what was.

Pure fury filled him as he glared down at them, swiftly raising his right arm and moving the sleeve off the Bracer there. He typed on its holographic screen for a second and summoned Harvester, gripping it firmly in one hand before jumping down to the ground below.

Normally he would be just enraged with the thought of someone about to commit such a heinous crime. Even after 4 years, he would still go into a rage whenever he saw something like that being done right before his very eyes. But now, with the recent amount of affection he'd gotten from Neptune, it made him imagine the woman as the young girl that he had come to call comrade, what expressions she would be making in this situation, and what those men would do to her if they got their grubby mitts over her.

Let's just say he was only seeing red right now.

The fools didn't notice anything till it was too late, as Nico swiftly landed on top of one's shoulders, using the back of his Scythe to smack the others restraining the woman upside their heads, disorienting them and making their grip on the woman disappear, letting her fall to the ground. Shock and confusion spread through their ranks as Nico wasted no time, gripping the sides of his personal landing pillow's head with his knees before flipping backwards, slamming the man into the ground back first with enough force to knock him out.

7 to go.

"What the heck?!"

"What's going on here?!"

Startled cries came from the men as their blood splattered on the ground from the hits they suddenly received out of nowhere. Landing on the ground, Nico stood up and gripped his Scythe, having no words to say for the moment. No, actions would speak over 1000 words this moment.

One of the men pulled out a pocket knife and tried to rush him foolishly, screaming in anger at him. However. Nico swiftly swung his Harvester, hooking the bottom of the blade around the hand holding the knife and deflecting it away from him. He then jumped and slammed the top of his knee onto his forehead, sending him to the ground. He then swung Harvester like a wheel overhead, smacking the rear end of the blade right into the man's side to send him flying into a wall. The impact was great enough to knock him out, but not kill him. If this were Planeptune, that strike would be made to kill.

6 to go.

Not wasting any movement, the male spun around and hooked the blade around the neck of 2 more men who tried rushing at him with crow bars, before pulling them in. he drove his fist into one's face and sweep kicked the other, making him fall. Time momentarily slowed down as Nico swiftly spun Harvester in a vertical arc, slamming it on top of the downed man's head, knocking him out.

The first one recovered from his daze during this, but before he could move Nico dashed forth and elbowed him in the gut, before following up with a backfist to the face and a roundhouse kick to the head, knocking him down and out of the fight.

4 to go.

Tilting his head, Nico dodged a bullet, literally, coming from behind him as a man tried to shoot him with a pistol. He was sweating with fear, dread and was even quivering as Nico swiftly threw Harvester at him like a wheel, the weapon pinning him to the wall by spearing him through his right shoulder blade, making him cry out in pain. It was lodged in tight there, making its removal impossible for the man.

Only 3 remaining.

The last 3 decided to play it cautious, and surrounded him, Nico's lone exposed eye glancing about at each of them, his instincts awake, his body alert. In a few short but tense moments, all three attacked at the same time, yelling battle cries with whatever makeshift weapons they had on them at the time.

Making quick calculations, Nico grabbed onto two wrists, each belonging to 2 of the 3 men, and spun around, knocking them into their third comrade with enough force to knock them unconscious. As much as he would have liked to, he refrained from killing them himself. That had to be done only when he knew the full story, so he didn't kill needlessly. Plus, this was a foreign nation, if he murdered people recklessly then war might break between the nation and Planeptune, which wouldn't help anyone.

Still, that short fight was exactly what Nico needed, the thrill of battle was something that helped him put his mind of what happened between him and Neptune, as he released a long breath from within his Mask, before standing tall. He then looked to the woman sitting with her back against a wall, who jumped slightly and shuddered, intimidated slightly by his Mask's appearance. "Wh-Who are you, sir?" she asked him, and Nico got a good look at her.

She was a well-endowed woman, looking to be between her early to mid-20's, with long blonde hair that was currently held in a ponytail, a bit messy due to the recent experience. Her eyes were concealed by a pair of thin-rimmed shades, so he couldn't see those. Her mouth hung open to show shock, fear, and nervousness, which was to be expected. After all, a masked stranger did just beat up a bunch of guys before her that were going to violate her.

Her attire consisted of a light green, long sleeved turtleneck that fit snugly on her hourglass figure. She wore a lighter green knee length pencil skirt, with black stockings and green high heels.

'Of course, those assholes wanted to rape a woman like her….' He thought with a mental scoff, knowing exactly WHY those men chose to target this particular person when he briefly glanced at her 'melons'. Men could be primitive sometimes, and this time he chose not to think about what happened the previous night.

Putting those thoughts away for the moment, Nico reached for his Mask, beginning to take it off alongside the eyepatch attachment. They were no longer needed for the time being, the teen didn't want to scare the civilian any more than she already was. He pocketed them inside his Void Storage, the civilian's eyes widening at the sight in… recognition? "Are you aright, ma'am? Did those men do anything to you?" he asked her, kneeling on one leg before her.

The woman, who had curled her legs into the fatal position, shook her head after a moment of staring into the eyes of her saviour, a tinge of pink on her cheeks. "N-no, I'm fine. You got here just in time, they had just begun to do what they wanted when you came along, good sir." She replied, making Nico hang his head with a relieved sigh escaping his lips.

"That's a relief. These guys won't wake up for several hours, enough time for the guards to get here." He explained, swiftly snapping his fingers. From the places he hit the men, all of them had a panel appear under their bodies, the CHAINS OF HEPHAESTUS swiftly immobilising them. The one Harvester was pinning to the wall had already blacked out from the pain, so the male reached for his weapon from his position before the civilian.

Like a magnetic force, the weapon flew out of the wall and into his waiting hand, much to the woman's surprise as he deposited Harvester into his Void Storage once more. with that out of the way, the male stood up and silently held his out towards her, offering a helping hand.

She gave a small, polite smile at the kind gesture, taking his hand in one of hers. Nico hid his surprise when he saw how dainty and small her hand was compared to his, which was rugged and made with the sole intent of swinging weapons or forming fists. Years of combat were under their belts, but that was enough of that for now. He then swiftly helped er get onto her own two feet before watching her pick the Spear up from the garbage dispenser and pocket it inside her Inventory.

Turning back to him, the woman gave a small bow in his direction, making hr breasts jiggle from the movement. "I must thank you, kind sir, for coming to my rescue. It was most chivalrous of you to do this." She said, standing straight once more. "I was on my way back to the Divine District when I was attacked." She explained to him.

The teen waved it off with a hand gesture. "Think nothing of it ma'am, it was my duty." He explained humbly, but internally he was thinking. 'Glad she's alright and all, but why does she feel… empty, inside? Like there's no energy inside her? Or rather, she didn't have all her energy reserves?'

'I do not know, Nico, but it would be best to leave that for another time. You know what you're supposed to do with this situation, yes?'

Indeed, he did know what to do. Not only as a Spec Ops Agent but as a gentleman. Giving the woman a look over, Nico chose his words carefully. Just from how she handled that Spear earlier suggested a familiarity with the way of the spear, indicating that she knew how to use it. Thus, with what he wanted to say he didn't wish to offend the warrior spirit within her. "I know you must be capable of defending yourself, but may I walk you back to wherever it is that you reside in? What would happen if this happens again? I would rather be there if it happens, to make sure you are safe."

"Oh my, how bold. To ask a lady if she'll let you walk her home. What would my fans think?" the woman mused, looking thoughtful but there was a slight upturning of her lips, hinting her real thoughts on the matter. "Thank you for your flattering words, young man, but may I know the name of the one who wants to walk me home? It would be better if we knew what to call each other."

Her request seemed innocent enough, so Nico nodded his head in her direction. "The name is Nico, ma'am. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." He introduced himself with a formal bow of respect. It was the norm for him to be polite and make a good first impression, it was something he picked up so that quest clients could get accustomed to him.

The method of speech seemed to work, for the woman nodded with a pleased expression on her face, matching her smile as she did a small curtsey. "It is a pleasure for me as well, my hero." She replied, smirking slightly with a teasing undertone. With the way she looked at him right now made Nico look to the side, his breath hitching as a tinge of pink formed on his cheeks. That smirk reminded him of Purple Heart last night, ugh why did he keep thinking about that?!

"Now that I know your name, I feel much happier with you walking me home. I'll be in your care, cutie." She told him, somehow appearing by his side even though his senses didn't pick her up. What the actual hell? Plus, she had that seductive smirk still on, and with such proximity its power level was increased X10.

While he stammered and spluttered, his mental fortitude that he had just recovered from Purple Heart's 'passion' last night being shattered faster than a ball thrown at high speeds at a piece of glass, the woman known as Vert giggled cutely, amused at his state. He soon managed to get his act together, and then the two walked out of the Alleyway.


"Mou! Iffy and Compa sure don't know how to take a joke…"

Neptune pouted to herself, arms crossed and an irritated scowl on her face as she walked behind the said girls, both of whom didn't hear her comment since she muttered it under her breath. IF also wasn't listening to her since she was too engrossed in her conversation with Compa.

Neither of the two had held back when scolding her senseless after her little attempt to seduce her Hubby and try those things she had learned on the internet. She had practically lost the use of her legs from sitting in the Japanese sitting position for so long, after IF forcefully made her revert to her human form with her clothes on, thankfully. Afterwards, IF managed to restrict Neptune's internet privileges in a manner that only she knew, so now she couldn't get any more means on how to please her beloved Hubby!

She was not a happy camper.

To top it all off, she didn't get her chance to sleep with Nico the following night either, IF having literally tied her up with rope and made her sleep on the ground with a pillow and blanket, so Compa was the only one that slept in the bed with him. That sucked, worse than-wait, no, nothing sucks worse than having no puddings! Save maybe Nico leaving her, muuuu! Why does she have to prioritise her Hubby and Puddings?! No, she will have both at the top, gosh Neppit! It'll be Neppit 50/50!

"Yo, Nep!" IF's call broke the preteen out of her thoughts, making her look up to the brunette as she spoke while glancing at her out the corner of her eye. "You got any bright ideas for what to do next? We already got Compa her new Syringe, her MPC Syringe." She questioned, jerking her thumb to the said girl and her weapon.

While shaped like a Syringe that she would normally use, the entire thing was made from a silver metallic material, meant to be resistant to elemental affinities. It had a cylindrical cartridge filled with various coloured liquids at its base that could be poured into and sucked back out of the canister part.

It was being held in both hands by the Nurse-In-Training as she gazed at the new weapon lovingly. They had reported the Quest clear to the Guild yesterday, well, IF did since Neptune and Compa were busy with Nico and the unconscious Tekken. The following morning, they went back to the shop Nico took them to before and got Compa the Syringe. The shop owner had been overjoyed when they told him the news, and quickly used what materials he had gotten to fashion an MPC Syringe for the young girl.

Now, Compa felt she could be of more help to the Party, and not just a healer. She could be a support, combat medic with her armour and elemental affinities, something she found herself eagerly anticipating.

Back to Neptune though, the preteen hummed in thought once more, closing her eyes and entering a state of intense concentration…. One that unknowingly made several passers-byes die of heartburn at how cute it looked on her. It fortunately (?) lasted a couple seconds, before an idea popped into her head. "Oh, oh, oh! I know! Let's go buy so much pudding we'll be sleeping for ages!"

Her idea quickly got shot down however, by both girls who stated "No!" at the same time, making the preteen pout in annoyance, resuming her previous posture. "Meanies…"

A groan came from the brunette's lips as she put her hands behind her head. "Man, what else can we do? We've done all the quests we can, gotten Compa her Syringe, and thanks to Nico not being with us we can't go out on Abnormal Quests since I'm not a Spec Ops Agent yet. I guess we could go to that village to try out those cakes I heard about, but the Dungeon we must get past has likely been sealed off at this point."

"Oh my, second time meeting you damsels."

The party's bored atmosphere suddenly shattered as each of them tensed at the arrogant, pompous voice that they SO didn't want to hear right now. As a group, they turned towards the source, to see a familiar brown-haired, Trident-wielding Spec Ops Agent known as Saizou Komiya, standing on the street opposite them, arms crossed with a smug grin at the light show behind him and the Trident gleaming in the sunlight. It would have looked cool…

"Uhhhh… do we know you from somewhere?"

If it hadn't been for Neptune to bluntly diminish it, the light disappearing like it was never there and for Saizou's face to turn to one of shock, his arms hanging at his sides. "Wha-wha…uh… ugh…" he tried to speak, but his shock didn't let him, as he couldn't believe what Neptune just asked him, all with a confused look on her face no less.

And it wouldn't stop there, as Compa tilted her head in confusion while question marks floated above her head. "Um, sorry, but we don't know you sir, maybe you got us mixed with someone else? I heard it's possible to mistake people if they look similar." She said, an index finger on her jaw.

Unlike the previous two, however, IF recognised the male before them, and had to give a hidden smirk behind her coat's right sleeve. The innocent insults towards this guy were amusing to her, especially when she remembered what their last encounter was like. Regaining her composure, IF continued the trend as she waved a hand in his direction in a shooing motion. "We don't have time to entertain you, whoever you are. So, beat it."

That had been the final straw as the male's shocked face soon twisted into one of fury, his face reddening as he gripped his fists. "Hey! You and I DO know each other, bitches! We met at the Guild." Momentarily, his anger vanished, and a narcissistic grin formed on his lips. He swept his hair back, as if it made him look cool or something, before asking them. "Or have you been too enamoured with the magnificent Saizou Komiya that you forgot?"

His words only made the female trio sweat drop as they stared at the male weirdly. As if predicting the inevitable, the civilians had conveniently vanished from the scene, yet Saizou remained unaware of the looks he was getting. If he was, then he'd assume they were in awe of his beauty.

Idiot.

Eventually, something clicked in Neptune's mind as she put a fist on her palm, as if finally solving a puzzle. "Oh! Now I remember, you're that guy who got 'balled' from before!" she shouted, pointing a finger at Saizou.

Her words were like a stab to the heart as the Spec Ops Agent felt an imaginary arrow with the words 'balled' on it do just that. However, that was only the beginning, as Compa unknowingly went next as she turned to frown at the preteen. "Nep-Nep, its rude to point out people's flaws." She spoke. "Poor thing must miss his mommy terribly, that's why he shed so many girly tears when his manliness got ruined."

'… She just doesn't realise it, does she?' IF thought, amusement shining in her eyes as he watched Saizou get madder and madder. She didn't say anything, but the look in her eyes said it all.

Saizou growled, and for a moment he looked like he was about to explode… before he reined in his temper and calmed himself down. "Heh, I'm not about to lose my cool because of a bunch of sluts." He remarked, shrugging his shoulders as if talking about a hopeless cause. The tone in his voice did imply a heavy condescending though, a matching shine hidden behind his eyes. "I'm more of a man than that."

"Uhhhh, not to burst your bubble dude, but I'm gonna call you out on that," Neptune stated bluntly, huffing indignantly at the insults to her and her friends. Both Compa and IF bristled at the insults that had been thrown their way, but they didn't say anything about it for the time being.

The man ignored her as he began to reach for his Trident, clasping a hand around its' shaft. The familiar cold metal sensation graced his fingers, giving him, a sense of comfort only holding a weapon could provide. "In any case, its rude to insult your betters like that, so I'm afraid I'll have to punish you." He said, grinning darkly, showing his teeth as his eyes shone with malice.

In response to this, the girls quickly got ready as well, IF forming her armour and claws, Compa her armour and Syringe, Neptune summoning both her armour and Murasama. She remembered how Nico and Noire had suggested to keep her CPU identity a secret in case it caused problems, and they were in a civilian population right now. even if it was deserted, IF and Nico would frown on her using her HDD form here. Thus, she wanted to try combining her weapon and armour like Compa had done last battle, nobody gets ahead of the Nep, not in games, romance or battle skills, yo!

Coincidentally, Neptune was the only one who noticed Saizou move towards them, his speeds making him look like he disappeared in the others' eyes. "Wha?!" Compa squeaked as she and IF looked around, only to hear the clashing of metal as Neptune parried Shinji's trident with her Murasama.

Sparks flew from their weapons as their wielders struggled for dominance. "Hoh? Not bad, you were able to see me coming just now. Not many can do that." He sneered, keeping his grin on as he pushed towards Neptune, who held her ground against the applied pressure. Their weapons shook violently between them while this happened, and Neptune only huffed in derision.

"This? Puh-lease!" she scoffed, rolling her eyes behind her helmet. "Nicky's way faster! You were like as slow as a turtle compared to him!" It was true, out of all the girls, Neptune had been the one to spar with Nico the most, in both human and HDD forms. IF and Compa were usually knocked out of the matches quickly, though they gradually kept increasing the time they could remain in the battlefield against him. Thus, with how much experience and stamina she gained fighting him, it made Saizou's movements look like a turtle's speed in comparison.

Not what he wanted to hear though, as Saizou growled at being compared to the male Spec Ops Agent. "Shut your hole!" he bellowed, the two jumping back as they got into their respective fighting stances. "You don't know what you're talking about, bitch! I'm way better than that loner who can't even get himself laid!"

"I'm not so sure about that…"

Saizou paused for a moment when Neptune almost nonchalantly spoke those words with a shrug of her shoulders, mimicking his mannerisms from before. "Wh-What did you say?" he asked her, his breath barely above a whisper as his eyes stared with their size being that of dinner plates.

Seeing the flabbergasted look on his face made Neptune laugh like a dirty old man. "Oh, ho-ho-ho! Interested, are you?" she bellowed pridefully, stabbing Murasama into the ground where she could quickly reach for it once the battle started again before putting her hands on her hips and wiggling like a worm. "He and I went preeeeety wild last night. It was amazing." A low sensual moan escaped her lips as she recalled what had happened. "It was enough to make me want more."

Her words had more impact than any words out there. It was like everyting, including life itself, screeched to a halt like tyres suddenly halting after moving for so long. One could barely hear the faint chirping of crickets after Neptune's declaration, said girl cheerfully bouncing from one foot to another.

Both IF and Compa groaned in unison, knowing what she was talking about. That night she almost practically raped Nico as her HDD self: Purple Heart. It was a dangerous move, because it was rare to find a man who would resist a CPU's allure, especially in HDD form. They had a massive fan base as a result, you see. However, the way that Neptune put it made it so that those who didn't know the circumstances have an entirely wrong impression of what happened.

Though, considering who it was she was saying this too, they didn't exactly try to stop her, either.

Their decision was rewarded when they noticed how Saizou was openly gaping at them like a fish, his jaw hanging open so much that flies could get in. Neptune would have tried to tell him this, but she was too busy being lost in her own fantasies involving herself in her HDD form dominating Nico under the sheets. In many fanfics, guys can dominate the girls in intercourse, they like control. There were girls however, who liked control of their own, and Neptune just HAD to be one of them.

"Ugh, way to go, Nep…" IF groaned, planting a hand on her face with an audible SMACK sound. It briefly stung with how much force she had applied to it, but thanks to her BOW powers she didn't get hurt by it. She was sure that she'd have had a mark the shape of her hand with the force she applied, if she were still human. Then again, it wasn't like she cared about this asshole, in fact, way to go, Nep! Wind him up some more!

Finally, Saizou managed to get his ability to speak back, his face reddened with both anger and… jealousy, much like when they first met the guy as he shouted to the heavens. "WHAT THE FUUUUUCK?! HOW THE FREAKING HELL DOES THAT BASTARD GET SO GODDAMN LUCKY?! FIRST THAT TEAM OF SMOKIN' HOT BABES, NOW MORE?! GIMME A FREAKING BREAK, ALREADY!" he screamed so loud that his voice could have become hoarse from so much use.

"Whoa, this guy's losing it, I guess this is what every guy who can't get a girl eventually stoops to becoming." Neptune remarked, shocked and surprised at the man's outburst. She had intended to tease him a little bit, possibly make him cry like a baby for his arrogant and smug attitude in expecting them to see him as a god among men. She didn't expect his response to be so extreme.

After a moment of shrieking like a banshee, the male Spec Ops Agent finally stopped, heaving heavily from his rant. Most of his breath had left him thanks to his rant. He panted hard, taking a moment to calm down… before a sinister grin swept across his features, one that sent chills up their spines. "I know… since that guy has WAY too many girls around him, how about I just make you all mine by force instead? I'll make it, so you will only think of me as I screw your brains out all day, everyday!" he bellowed, his grin becoming increasingly demented as he gazed with lust and desire towards their bodies.

The girls shuddered at the stare as they began to radiate auras of Killing Intent, even the normally docile Compa and Neptune were releasing a tremendous amount of intent to kill. Hot rage overflowed through their veins, directed towards the man who was too STUPID to realise why outright proclaiming that he was going to have their way with them was a bad idea. Oh well, fool was about to learn the hard way.

"Nep…" IF began as she turned her head, hair shadowing her eyes as she gestured to the male. "For now, I'll make an exception, so could you kindly kill that asshole, please?" she asked, with a sickeningly sweet smile to boot.

The preteen nodded, pumping her fists in front of her chest with a livid expression behind her helmet. "No need to tell this Nep twice, Iffy. I'll knock him into next week for that. Nobody touches this Nep-flesh save for my Hubby." She began to stomp towards the cackling Shinji with her Murasama in hand, the blade crackling with dangerous static as if to reflect its master's mood. Saizou meanwhile, didn't realise what was going on as he raced towards Neptune with a mix of insanity, lust, anger and glee on his face, pouncing at her with his arms held as if to grab her.

But before either of the two could meet…

"I believe that is enough."

A cold, dark and cynical voice was their sole warning, right before their instincts screamed at them to stop moving and get the hell out of there. Both gasped and followed their instincts, their previous emotions forgotten as they jumped back. Just in time too, for a massive, black blur slammed into the ground between them causing a large dust cloud to form. It was a good ting their instincts saved them, because if they had continued, that thing would have smashed them to pieces.

"Nepu?!"

"What the fuck?!"

"Wait, that's an old remark, haven't heard you use that verbal tick in a while, Neptune." IF remarked in surprise. She couldn't remember the last time Neptune had made her signature verbal tick, getting an annoyed glance from the preteen.

Said Preteen huffed as she bobbed her arms up and down. "Hey, not my fault! The author probably forgot my verbal tick for a while! Don't blame me!" she protested in her defence, but their argument couldn't continue as they soon caught sight of what had interrupted them.

On his end, Saizou had fallen onto his backside once again, gritting his teeth before looking upwards, about to shout like he always did. how dare someone interrupt him when he was going to get something he wanted! Saizou Komiya always got what he wanted, that was a rule of nature! When he wanted to have sex, it didn't matter who he did it with, untiil he was satisfied! When he wanted money, he got it no questions asked about HOW he got it! If he wanted, he could have anything he wanted, and he would not let anyone get in his way! However, his words were caught in his throat as the sight made him quickly shut his trap before he could say something that'd get him killed. 'No… its him…!'
