Monkey Help Fights and Calm Hearts
Sun is seen in the simulation training room swirling around his red battle staff with one hand and smiling as he gets excited for this.
"You ready to spare or what?" Sun asked his sparring opponent.
"You're about to find out just how awesome Neon Katt is in battle." Neon smiled as she swings her nun-chuck around with one arm.
Neon is a young girl with a light complexion. She has sea green eyes and moderate red-orange hair with light blue streaks in her bangs. She also has a cat tail covered with pink fur that becomes lighter toward the tip. She wears a large range of bright colors and is lighter and more revealing than that of most other crew members. She wears a light blue cropped tank top over a dark purple bra, showing her upper cleavage. She also wears dark purple short shorts under a pink combat mini-skirt and white belt with a yellow winking smiley face on the buckle. Two buttons are fixed to her tank top over her right breast, one purple with a cat design and another green one with a heart. Her hair was done up in two pig tails. She also has a white cat bell collar around her neck, a pair of bracers on her arms and pads on her shins and knees. She wears red trick roller blades, which she also uses to quickly move around. The roller blades each only have two wheels to assist her in her tricks. A tattoo of a shooting star with a red, green and yellow trail winds around her right arm. Breasts sizes: F-cup.
On one side of the room are Blake, Yang, and Barnette overseeing the training session.
"The classic battle of monkey vs cat, going head-to-head to see who will come out on top!" Yang said like a dramatic movie line.
"Since when have monkey vs cat is a "classic battle", Yang?" Blake asked.
"Since no one have ever thought about it about." Yang answered exciting.
"We're only here to see how this training will go for Neon since she hasn't been activate in combat for a while." Barnette reminded.
"Hey, it's not my fault that I'm more of the ground combat fighter while you guys are fighting in space!" Neon pointed out.
"And it's also because you were always late to answer the call whenever we fight the enemy." Blake stated making Neon groans.
Then she got swipe strike down by Sun's staff knocking her down on her butt.
"Ow! Hey, we haven't even started, that was a dirty move!" Neon complained.
"Maybe so, but in a real fight to the death there are no referees or anything like that to start a fight and the opponent won't wait for you to get ready. You got to make the first move or else the battle might be over." Sun lectured.
"Okay, mister combat-expert, let's dance!" Neon performed a backspin at Sun making him jump back.
Neon flip herself back up and charges at Sun swinging her nun-chuck for some fierce attacks while her movements seem to be like dancing, Sun parry each strikes and counterattack to the head though the pink-tailed catgirl dodges that by leaning backward to let it go over her head. She goes moving around Sun swinging her nun-chuck some more as Sun does his best to block them though Neon manage to see an opening and strike at the upper part of his arm to the elbow which made Sun shivers.
"Whoa, that felt cold?" Sun surprised.
"Yeah, my chuck has these special cases that can make them feel extra cold than the freeze in the kitchen when it makes contact to the foes' bodies." Neon explained as she bends the other chuck, and it glows light blue.
"They also light up like glowsticks which is pretty cool if you ask me." Neon added giggling a bit.
"Yeah, that does look cool, but I'm afraid one hit is all your getting from me." Sun grinned getting in his fighting stance.
"Oh, someone is feeling confident." Neon smirked.
Sun charges at Neon clashing his staff against her nun-chuck and using the long length to keep himself at a distance from her, Neon grab the staff with her chuck wrapping around it though the blonde young monkey man wasn't worry as he jumps forward to kick her in the face making her stumble back. Sun start striking her on the arms and torso and a few on the legs not giving Neon any time to recover, he swipes swing her again and this time lifts her up with one end of her staff and slams her down hard.
"Oh, that has got to hurt." Yang commented.
"Sun is doing very impressively, using the length advantage of his staff and using fast attacks on Neon before she could react." Blake impressed with Sun's fighting skills.
"He maybe a little smart in a fight, but he doesn't have Jaune's strategy mind." Barnette bragged.
"That sound very high and respective you're making for Jaune." Yang looked at Barnette with a raise eyebrow.
"W-What are you implying? I'm merely just saying that Jaune is doing good as our strategist of the Nirvana." Barnette stated while her cheeks have little blushes.
"Yeah, sure you are." Yang believed that Barnette is hiding something, and it has Jaune involve somehow.
"Oh look, it seems Neon is about to use her roller-skates now!" Barnette quickly changed the subject.
True to her words, Neon has switch her normal shoes into roller-skates as the wheels pop out from the bottom and she skates toward Sun with a swing attack at him as he blocks though Neon swing her chuck again hitting the back. Sun looks around as Neon is skating a little faster now and start attacking her sparring partner in all directions as he blocks and tries to counter her, but the pink catgirl keeps dodging him like she's on the dancefloor with her skates. She backspin making Sun move backward and she jumps side-spinning with smacking on his staff, Sun swing his staff several times but find it surprisingly hard to land a hit on her consider her unpredictable movements. Sun uses his own agility to dodge and counter Neon clashing their weapons into each other as he spins his staff fast to as Neon blocks them with her nun-chuck, then she swings her weapon down so hard that Sun's staff breaks in two.
"Looks like Neon is about to 'Spap' herself a win." Yang punned which made Blake and Barnette groans.
"Now it's time I get serious." Sun said.
Before Neon could ask what, he meant by that, Sun strike at her leg right leg, left side above the waist, and a hit on the head that made her stumble back.
Neon groans in pain and look to see that Sun's weapon weren't broken at all, but he took them apart on purpose to make them into dual nun-chucks as he swings them around fast and swift.
"Let me show you how it's done." Sun charged at Neon.
He swings his dual chucks at Neon who tries to fend them off though finding this hard to parry away and Sun caught hers in one to attack her with the other one, he knocks her nun-chuck out of her hand and unleash some barrage attacks ending it with a spin jump and use his tail to punch her in the face knocking her down.
"So, impress now?" Sun asked with a smirk.
"That… that… was amazing! You totally have some great moves with a man and the way your staff turned into those nun-chucks, I didn't even know you can do that!" Neon squealed.
"Yeah, well, you can't always be a one-trick pony when it comes to combat." Sun said.
"Well, maybe you can teach me to love like that, so you won't 'tail' me behind." Yang punned, again none of the girls like her jokes.
"Don't worry about that, 'nun' of my friends are ever left behind." Sun joked and the girls laughs.
"Oh wow, you're not only a good fighter but tell WAY better jokes than Yang." Neon smiled.
"Hey, I can so make good jokes, you guys just never have any sense of humor." Yang snapped.
"Then how come we were laughing at Sun when he made the pun funny?" Blake asked making Yang gasp and couldn't utter a word.
"And don't think we didn't notices that you were laughing too." Barnette revealed.
"Okay, so he is good with jokes a little, but I'm the crew's comedian here and better not 'monkeying' around on it!" Yang punned again; groans respond as usual. Sun places a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't let them get to you, I think you can make jokes, you just to have to try finding the right material and just believe in the laughter you'll bring. You just have to be patient and go at your own pace, and if anyone mocks for your jokes then just ignore them like a river over stone." Sun advised with a gentle smile that made Yang's heart race a little.
"O-Okay, thanks." Yang blushed a bit and Barnette giggles upon seeing this.
"Hey, maybe you can work on some of those words on Dita and Hibiki." Neon suggested.
"Yeah, those two have been acting pretty weird for the past two days. Usually, Dita would be all over Hibiki to just wanting to be friends with him despite his rejections and all." Blake pointed out.
"Yeah, I've also saw Dita running from the boys' dorm room and it looked like Hibiki shouted out something that hurt her feelings with realizing that she was there." Sun remembered.
"Then this could complicate things, they may not want to form their Vandread again if we were to encounter the enemies." Barnette worried.
"Well then, I better go see what I can do to cheer them up." Sun walked away.
(With Hibiki, Jaune, and Gascogne)
"Come on, Hibiki, just give up already." Jaune begged.
"No way, I'm so winning this card game." Hibiki refused.
"I think I'm getting bored with you struggling." Gascogne chuckled.
Hibiki is playing some card games with Gascogne for about twelve rounds and he always loses in all of them and he keeps challenging her every time to win even just once against her.
"Hey, mind if I join?" Sun asked as he walks in.
"Oh, hey Sun." Jaune greeted.
"Mind if I take over, I can tell you want to tap out anytime now." Sun offered to take Gascogne's place.
"Knock yourself out." Gascogne said and move from her seat letting Sun in.
"Hey! Well, I hope you're ready to be disappointed when he loses for you." Hibiki smirked as Jaune shuffle the cards and give five to each.
"So, you and Dita seem to be going through some awkward phase, am I right?" Sun asked.
"Wh-What the heck are you talking about? There's nothing going on." Hibiki shocked.
"But it looks like you were worry that Dita refuse to merge with you." Jaune recalled of how those two were interaction differently than before.
"Worry, who, me?" Hibiki pretended that he wasn't worry.
"Hmm…." Sun looked between Hibiki and Jaune and started to see the picture.
"Hibiki, how long have you and Jaune known each other?" Sun asked.
"Huh, why do you want to know that?" Hibiki wondered.
"Just trying to get to know one of my leaders." Sun said.
"Well, I think it's been two years since I moved to the city living and I met Jaune there when he moved out of his family's home." Hibiki answered.
"I remember, we bumped into each other on our first day of work at the factory and he defended me from a worker who was bullying me." Jaune explained.
"I did it because the guy was being loud, but I guess that's where we became best friends." Hibiki smiled.
"I see, you're not use to having more than one friend, are you?" Sun figured.
"Uh, what do you mean by that?" Hibiki asked.
"I mean Jaune has been you're only friend in the world and thought you didn't need another, but things started to change when we all came aboard on this ship. Jaune started hanging out with everyone else than just you, and you were afraid that Dita was trying to push you away from Jaune. Because you didn't want to lose the only bond you had with Jaune." Sun believed and lay down the cards showing the full house.
"What the…?!" Hibiki gasped that he lost again, and about Sun's claim.
"Hibiki, is all that true?" Jaune asked.
"Well, maybe… It just I've been feeling stress out." Hibiki said.
"I think Sun is right on the money, you can't always expect everything to be the same forever. You just got to go with the changes and make the most of it." Gascogne advised.
Hibiki went silent as Jaune place a hand on his shoulder.
"Hibiki, no matter what we'll always be best friends and I think you should let Dita know that she does mean something to you as a good friend." Jaune stated.
"I guess." Hibiki muttered.
Sun walks out of the room off to find Dita.
(With Dita and Ruby)
Dita and Ruby are seen looking at the stars.
"You remember how we always wish on the stars hoping for a UFO to come and take us away somewhere so we can be happy forever?" Ruby asked.
"Yes, I thought that wish has come true when we met Mr. Alien and Jaune and the other men. They helped change our lives on this ship, but now I don't care about my wish because I just don't want Mr. Alien to hate me." Dita said sadly.
"Then you don't have to worry about that." Sun said walking up to them.
"Sun, what are you doing here?" Ruby asked.
"Helping out my friends. Dita, Hibiki doesn't hate you are anything. He's just confuses of everything that is happening around him and his social skills is taking time to adjust, but I think he enjoys having your around just can't figure out how to say it." Sun pointed out.
"Really?" Dita asked.
"Yeah, and I think you should give him a little space because your approach is too forward, and you can't forcing yourself on other when they don't want to." Sun advised.
"Funny, Meia said something familiar." Dita mentioned.
"It's not wrong to wanting to hang out with someone, you just need to be little gentle and keep up that positive side of yours. I'm sure Hibiki will start to see how cool you are." Sun smirked.
"Really, he'll think I'm cool." Dita blushed.
"Then can the same be said about me and Jaune?" Ruby asked.
"Sure, you two seem to get along pretty well and maybe you two could be more than friends." Sun said.
"More than friends? What does that mean?" Ruby and Dita asked.
"Oh nothing, just a random thought in my head." Sun laughed a bit.
"But in all serious stuff, we all need to remember that we are stronger together as long as we don't let anything bad things hold us down. Otherwise, you might live with regrets." Sun advised as he walks away.
"Oh yeah, and I think you might want to get your Dreads ready." Sun pointed his staff at the outside.
Ruby and Dita are confuse until they turn around and gasp upon seeing the enemy aliens coming to attack them again.
Soon, everyone got in their Dreads and flew off to fight the evil robot aliens.
"Dita!" Hibiki called her on the video call.
"Listen, I got something to say and it's, huh… just keep doing what you've always done. It's suits you better." Hibiki said nervously and blushing.
"Really, you mean that?" Dita smiled blushing too.
"I'm not going to say it again! Now if you're up for it, let show those creeps what we're made of." Hibiki smirked.
"You got it!" Dita nodded and they form their Blue Thunder Vandread.
"Looks like your words helped them out." Gascogne said standing next to him while they watch their fighters.
"Just doing my best to help in any way I can." Sun smiled.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Sun got some screen time for himself to help the crew with some combat training and some words of advice like how he helped Hibiki and Dita to patch things up when there were some awkward things between them. That shows how cool he is when he's not monkeying around.
