We touched down at Haneda City Airport. Soon, we were in transports, heading to Planeptune. Underling's actual name was Linda. My entire team was really jumpy, as they were expecting an ambush. But we soon made it to the capital. As I stepped out of the transport, Neptune sighed. "Home, sweet home." she said. We walked into the building. Everyone was standing around a note on the wall. I walked towards it. People let me pass as I read the note:

NOTICE: Because of the crisis at hand, all Denizens have a new curfew, effective immediately. All denizens are to be in their homes by 12 oclock midnight. Anyone caught breaking this curfew without authorization will spend the night in the Basilicom and will be fined. I hope you understand the circumstances and will cooperate.

-Histoire, Oracle of Planeptune

The thing is, Histoire was considered an aide to the Planeptune CPUs. She can install curfews and do things that CPUs do in times of crisis. Neptune shook her head. "She has to stretch the curfew to midnight because of businesses." she sighed. I stepped back to allow the others to read it. I pointed to the elevator. "Shall we?" I asked. Plutia nodded. "We shall." We all stepped into the elevator, and I pressed the Level 7 button, aka, CPU Living Quarters. As we went up, Neptune sighed. "Geez, how dramatic. I really could use a nap." I nodded, replying, "Of course." The elevator dinged, and the doors opened. There stood an annoyed Histoire. I sighed. "Histy, who kicked your dog?" She glared at me. "Was that an insult?" she hissed. I shook my head. "It means, why are you angry?" I replied coolly. Histoire sighed. "Just the other oracles going nuts about the crisis. They all want me to launch a direct attack on the enemy HQ." I facepalmed. "Even for a CPU, that's suicide." I replied. She nodded. "Yeah! That's what I told them! Just, urrgh! It's so frustrating! They all want me to do something that I don't agree with, and when I tell them no, they call me a disgrace to Planeptune! Ridiculous!" It took thirty minutes for her to vent her pent-up frustration, and I kept quiet and let her. She eventually cooled off, and the red hashtag vanished off her forehead. She sighed. "Thanks. I needed that." I nodded. "It's fine." Neptune had vanished. I walked down the hall to her bedroom and peeked in. Neptune was tapping away at her Game Gear, oblivious to my presence. I walked back to Histoire. She peeked in and growled. I shook my head. "They need the break. Why do you get annoyed when the others do something else?" I asked. She sighed. "I just get annoyed when the others fool around. Sorry." I realized that Histoire looked tired. I put my hands under the book she was floating on. She seemed to relax, the book resting into my palms. "It takes energy for me to float like that." she explained. "I think I was overworking myself." I nodded. "We all need some time to rest. Here, let me get you something to drink." Suddenly, pain shot through my brain. I heard a voice:

"You have to protect them with your life!"

When I came to, I was slumped onto the ground. I heard IF first. "Get ahold of yourself, man!" she said. I heard Histoire next. "Are you okay?" I got up. "Yeah, I'm fine." I gave Histoire a landing pad with my hands again, and I walked into the living room. I set Histoire onto the coffee table. I got a pair of tweezers, using them to pick up one of Histoire's miniature drinking glasses. I quickly made her some lemon tea, walking over to her and setting it down next to her. She looked at me gratefully. "Thanks." She drank, and I heard a door open. It was Ram, and she looked a little too happy. I shrugged it off, and sat down onto the couch, right onto a pillow that had a whoopee cushion under it. The following noise caused Ram to giggle like mad. That definitely killed the mood. Damn. Histoire sighed. "Seriously?" she asked, plugging her nose. I sniffed the air, and gagged. Why the scented ones, Ram? I heard gags. "What the hell?" yelled IF. I heard groans and complaining from the others. I got up and walked towards the kitchen. I put my hand on the table. Sparks flew and the room went dark. More complaining. I yelled, "If I find one more prank, Ram, I am gonna come over there and kick your butt as soon as I fix the breaker!" The lights switched back on, and there stood a cheerful Compa. "Power's back on!" Everyone walked into the living room. They looked at Compa, then everyone glared at Ram. Her shit-eating grin vanished. "Ummm…" Neptune spoke first. "Your antics made me lose all my progress on my Sonic game! And I was on the last level!" she snapped. Nepgear spoke next. "You made me lose all my work!" she growled. Ram shrugged. "What am I supposed to do to help you guys?"

"GO TO YOUR ROOM!" everyone shouted. She retreated into the room she was sharing with Rom. I sighed. Then I heard the phone ringing. I picked it up "Hello?"
The answer was brisk. "Half of Planeptune is rioting! The power grid shut off and turned back on!" Shit. When Ram pulled that stunt, she must have hit the switch to turn off all power. So it didn't just turn off the power for Level 7, it shut off EVERYBODY's power in Planeptune. I said softly, "Hold on just a sec." I yelled, "Ram, you shut off the entire power grid. You are grounded. Blanc will hear about this." I got back on the phone. "Sorry about that. Power outage. Try to calm everyone. Sorry!" He understood. "It's fine. I'll try to contain the riot. Thanks." The phone hung up. I put the phone back on the stand. I turned around. Everyone looked shocked. Histoire shrugged. "So? What are the lengths of Ram's punishment?" I sighed. "She does not leave Level 7, plus all electronics and pranks are off-limits." I stated firmly. "Every time she is caught violating these rules, I will double the punishment time, which is currently a week." Neptune patted me on the back. "Remind me not to piss you off." I nodded, grinning, stating, "Parenting 101." Ram looked like a wounded animal. I then said, "I will give a grace period. Any pranks I find before I go to sleep will not count against Ram." I then turned to Ram. "Electronics, and pranks, cough 'em up." She handed over a phone and a Nintendo 3ds. I then patted her down, checking pockets. When I was satisfied, I sent her off. Plutia looked concerned. "Wasn't that sexual assault?" I shrugged. "Nope. I didn't touch her anywhere under her dress, so it's fine." I replied. I then looked towards the others. "For now, let's all get some rest. We're gonna need it for tomorrow." Plutia nodded. "Of course." she replied. Everyone went their separate ways as I sat down. Histoire looked at me. "Son w hat's the plan?" she asked. I sighed. "We will get some rest, and decide our next move together." She nodded. "Of course." I laid down onto the couch. Suddenly, I felt Histoire snuggle up against my head. She practically purred. "I feel safer when I'm next to you." I brushed her head with my finger, then I rested my arm next to me and dropped off to sleep.
