Water Peaceful Planet with a Twisted Belief
Jaune and Hibiki are seen with Magno, BC, and Glynda on the deck to talk about a new planet they just discovered during their journey to home.
"About 99% of the planet is water and it's got all the nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere." BC reported.
"I don't know my science well, but I think that means the place is breathable for human lifeforms like us." Hibiki stated.
"You are correct and speaking of human lifeforms. We also discovered there is a single island on that planet with the inhabitants being humanoid.' Glynda said with the hologram screen showing the island.
"Humanoids, huh? Think they came from a colony ship like our ancestors used?" Jaune wondered.
"We actually discovered that ship at the bottom of the sea." BC mentioned.
"Let's go say hello to our long-lost relatives." Magno chuckled.
As the Nirvana flies around the planet to find a good spot to park the ship, the alarms suddenly went off.
"What is it?" BC asked.
"Enemy approaching behind the planet?" Ezra informed.
"Should we run away?" Bart asked feeling scared.
"Are you an idiot? No way, if they're gonna do something to this planet then we got to stop them." Hibiki stated with a fist.
"How many are there?" Jaune asked.
"About 12 cube types and… some strange machine I can't identify." Ezra said looking at the scanner.
As the Nirvana comes closer to the enemy machines, they spotted what appears to be a large machine almost like a giant onion made of metal and mean looking too.
"What the devil is that?" Magno asked shock.
"I don't know, but we better get to our battle stations now." Jaune said as he and Hibiki ran to get into their Vanguards while the girls go to their Dreads.
"Let show those freaky aliens who's boss around here!" Hibiki excited then suddenly they stop from a bright light.
"What the…?" Jaune confused.
"Hibiki, the time has finally come!" Jura laughed exciting while Barnett is recording this with her camera.
"Listen closely, you and I are finally going to combine in the upcoming battle." Jura said strongly and pointing at Hibiki.
"What, are you serious right now?" Hibiki asked, feeling annoy of this woman.
"Actually, I was thinking about you trying to combine with Jura soon." Jaune said shocking Hibiki.
"Come on, Jura's ship is one of the ships that changed majorly during our time meeting the women and I think it's time to give her a chance like how you did with Dita and Meia." Jaune pointed out.
Hibiki wanted to talk back to Jaune, but he didn't say a word as he got to thinking about letting Dita and Meia into his life a little like he is starting to become more friends with them which is kind of weird but good at the same time. And there was something strangely about Jura that he did kind of like her, but not something insane though giving her a chance wouldn't hurt, hopefully.
"Fine, you win." Hibiki sighed before turning to Jura.
"Hey blonde lady, we're combining now let's get out there and kick those creeps out of this system." Hibiki called out and ran to his Vanguard.
"Really? Just like that?" Jura gasped smiling.
"Oh, Barnett, it's finally going to happen! I'm going to combine with Hibiki to create a beautiful Vandread!" Jura excited shaking Barnett while she is still holding the camera.
"Y-Yeah, great for y-you." Barnett said.
"Hmm, maybe I should consider combining with Cinder too." Jaune said to himself.
(Out in Space)
The fighting team are flying towards the enemy robot aliens ready to stop whatever they were about to do.
"Hey Mister Alien, you want us to combine?" Dita asked.
"Sorry, but I kind of agreed to combine with Jura this time." Hibiki exclaimed.
"Huh, but why? It feels like you're just avoiding me." Dita said sadden.
"It's not like that! It just that woman has been asking me nonstop and decided to go for it." Hibiki explained.
"I'm going to combine with Cinder next, haven't done that with her since her ship was also changed as well." Jaune stated.
"So, we're finally going to see what we're like together. This should be interesting." Cinder grinned.
"Okay, we'll buy you some time." Pyrrha said and the other Dreads move in to attack the cube type enemies.
Meia lead the charge onto the enemies which they have notice them coming and they leave the big machine to attack them as well.
"Alright, I hope you don't complain on what's about to happen next." Hibiki said to Jura.
"I'm sure it'll be beautiful beyond compare! You better the camera on me, Barnett!" Jura excited.
"Not sure if I can, but I'll try." Barnett said, thinking Jura is really getting too into this.
"Cinder Fall, on me." Jaune commanded.
"Ready as I'll ever be, Jaune Arc." Cinder responded.
"Here we go!" Jaune and Hibiki shouted at the same time when they go to their partners causing a bright light emitting from their merging.
Jaune and Cinder now find themselves sitting next to each other on what appears to be fancy throne like chairs with flaming designs, and on the outside looks beautiful and fierce at the same time. The out seems to be humanoid like with Ruby and Pyrrha, except the lower half is like that is a giant serpent with the left arm being a little bigger with sharp red claws,
"Wow, this feels incredible! And a little warm in here too." Jaune commented.
"So, this is what it's like to combined with a man, I'm actually glad that I got to do it with you." Cinder smiled.
"Well, well, it looks like those two made something fierce for combat." Magno commented with a smirk.
"Yes, looks like a snake woman with a monster hand that could unleash a fierce flame." Glynda said.
"Yes, but… What exactly is the Vandread of Hibiki and Jura supposed to be?" BC asked when they look Hibiki and Jura's Vandread.
"I think… It's a crab." Amarone deadpanned, finding this somewhat to be funny.
"Oh boy, I don't think Jura is going to like that." Barnett worried.
The Vandread combination of Hibiki and Jura is now a thinner ship with wide thin wings with smaller pinchers and little floating gems around them with a bigger one at the center.
"NO! Don't tell me this disgusting thing is supposed to be me?!" Jura gasped in horror and shock.
"Huh, this feels different how with Dita and Meia. Now, to see how this thing works." Hibiki tried to see which buttons to make this start.
"Unbelievable! I wanted something more elegant and graceful, but this is none of that!" Jura complained.
"HEY!" Hibiki shouted getting her attention.
"If you have time to whine like a baby, then you should be focusing on helping on staying alive!" Hibiki stated before they got blasted by the Cube type enemies.
"Hang on, we're coming!" Jaune said as he and Cinder move the sticks together.
"I see, so we have to move these control sticks simultaneously in order to move our mech." Cinder started to understand this.
"Great, now let's kick some metal butt!" Jaune pressed a button that causes the tail to burst in flame.
That's when Cinder got the idea move one stick that have the tail spins around and destroyed two of the enemies.
"Nice one." Jaune complimented.
"Someone get me out of this thing!" Jura complained, then accidentally hit a button that causes their Vandread to move fast a little.
"Come on, there's got to be something this thing can do." Hibiki moved a joint stick that got the arms to move.
"My dream just became a nightmare!" Jura cried.
"In case you've forgotten, we're still fighting the enemies!" Hibiki reminded her and moves around the controls to see some more buttons.
"Okay, how about this one?" Hibiki pressed one button.
All the gems around them stop moving and the big gem fire some lasers at the smaller gems which they fired powerful lasers destroying the remaining enemies around them.
"Wow, now that was awesome!" Hibiki cheered.
"Cinder, on our left!" Jaune alerted.
"Got it!" Cinder nodded and moved the large left arm aiming at the remaining six enemies and it unleash a powerful, flaming energy wave that destroyed them completely.
"Guess they couldn't handle the heat." Cinder punned.
"Oh, nice one." Jaune impressed.
"Hey! Puns are my territory!" Yang complained.
"Captain, we destroyed the Cube types, but we've been unable to damage that strange machine no matter what we do." Meia reported.
"Just come back for now, Meia. You all done what you can." Magno ordered.
"What now, captain. That device could be involved with the enemies' harvesting operation." Glynda worried.
"I was thinking the same thing." BC said.
"It's a mystery, perhaps we can find the answers down there." Magno suggested as she ordered Ezra to make contact with that planet.
A moment later, communication between the planet and the Nirvana has been made and Mango ordered to put it up on the big monitor.
"Greetings, travelers, my name is Fanieta and welcome to the most beautiful planet in the universe, Anpathos." Fanieta greeted.
"Anpathos, is that the name of your planet, Fanieta?" Magno asked.
"You are correct. We call it that ever since we arrived here, and we've been waiting for you for a long time." Fanieta answered.
"Waiting for us?" BC confused of what this woman just said.
"You people are the Munya, yes?" Fanieta asked.
"Munya, what does she mean by that?" Glynda wondered.
"Sorry, I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding. We're certainly not called the Munya." Magno stated shocking Fanieta.
"Pardon me for being forward, but we like permission to visit you. There are indeed questions I like to ask." Magno said.
"The time of our ceremony is approaching, so we are not prepared to greet you properly." Fanieta informed.
"Oh, that's alright. It won't be trouble." Magno said.
"Captain, if it's alright. The two Vandread are coming with you." Jaune decided.
"Very well, I just need to put Bart in charge then I'll be on my way." Magno said.
"Bart in charge? I don't like the sound of that." Jaune worried of what the ship will be like while the group going to Anpathos are gone.
(Surface of Anpathos)
The group have made their way onto the planet Anpathos aas the two Vandread separated and landed first before the captain as they look at the place.
"Wow, this place looks it could be holy or something." Jaune commented.
"I don't know a thing or two about holy, but I think there's a festival going on." Hibiki guessed from the way the town is decorated.
"We'll worry about that later, we need to meet up with the captain and BC." Cinder said.
"Hey, we're going now. Are you coming?" Hibiki asked Jura, but she didn't respond as she just sat there on her ship looking down.
"I guess she must still not like the way your Vandread turned out." Cinder said knowing how Jura is these days.
"Hey, it's not my fault it turned out the way it did. Let just go already." Hibiki walked away.
"I'm not sure if it's a good idea to leave her like this." Jaune concerned.
"Don't worry, Jura can still take care of herself even when she's down like this. She'll be here when we get back." Cinder assured as she walks ahead to follow Hibiki.
Jaune was thinking about going over there to talk to Jura hoping to cheer her up, but he can see how down she is from her face and decided to leave her be and hurry to follow the others into the city.
The ship carrying Magno and BC lands in front of Fanieta with two followers as they come out, then BC noticed something from the flag that seems to be the symbol of the city.
"Look at that design." BC wondered about this bad feeling she is getting right now.
(Nirvana, Ship Dock)
Dita is moving in circles feeling worry for Hibiki having to be alone with Jura form the way they combined earlier.
"Will you relax, Dita. The boys are going to be fine, they got our friends and the captain." Ruby pointed out.
"But Jura is down there too. What if she does something to Mister Alien?" Dita worried.
"Like what exactly?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know exactly, maybe something like seducing him with her body." Dita guessed.
"Well, I'm not sure if she wouldn't go that far." Ruby said, then getting the strange feeling of Jaune being alone with Cinder.
Meanwhile outside and far from the planet, something big and dangerous is approaching Anpathos which maybe something the Nirvana crew will have to fight soon.
(With Jaune and Others)
Jaune, Hibiki, and Cinder are looking around town getting to that tall tower Magno said they were heading to meet with Fanieta and Jaune looks up at the sky.
"Huh, the clouds seem to be different for some reason." Jaune said.
"Like it's going to rain?" Hibiki asked.
"I don't know, it just feels off." Jaune confused a little of this.
"Well, I'm sure these people can answer that question." Cinder said.
"Hey, there they are!" Hibiki pointed at Magno and BC following Fanieta.
Then they notice that the top of the tower is lighting up from the four spikes that came out which got the people of Anpathos excited saying that the "Munya" is finally coming.
"Munya, for some reason I don't like that name." Jaune stated.
"Come on, the old lady is waiting for us." Hibiki said as they went down to Magno.
"Captain!" Cinder called out getting their attention.
"Cinder, and the boys. You're all safe." Magno smiled.
"And what about Jura?" BC asked.
"I don't feel like talking about princess sad face decided to stay behind at her Dread." Hibiki annoyed while telling Magno and BC the answer to their question.
"She was feeling down and I'm sure you can guess why." Cinder referred of how her Vandread turned out.
"As long as she's safe, now you three come along." Magno said as they follow Fanieta into the tower.
Inside is all empty except for a small tower inside this tower along with strange symbol that appears to be a human bowing with a star above them and a path of some kind between them.
"What is this place?" Jaune asked.
"This is the shrine of the Gate to the Holy path." Fanieta answered.
"So, first of all can you fill us in on this "Munya" you all been waiting so patiently before?" Magno asked.
"They're the ones that guided our ancestor to this pleasant land. Our people are so very grateful to them; we consider them the foundation of Anpathos." Fanieta explained.
"So then, what will happen when the Munya returns?" BC asked curious.
"The Munyas are prophesied to be in need of us and we're all look forward to the joist time of their arrival." Fanieta answered.
"In need of you, what for?" Hibiki asked getting a bad feeling of what the answer might be.
"According to the prophecy: the Munyas acquired the spiral core." Fanieta answered.
"Spiral core?" Cinder wondered as she and the others are confused as well until she and BC realize something bad.
"The large machine we saw outside of the planet." Cinder mentioned which Jaune is starting to see what Cinder is thinking too.
(With Bart)
Ever since Bart was put in charge, most of all the girls in Nirvana has been asking him for request like refilling their food supply and other things that doesn't involve work though couldn't take in with the dozens of thousands of requests.
"ALL OF YOU, SHUT UP!" Bart shouted and cut off the calls.
"Glynda, how exactly does the captain do all of this work?" Bart asked.
"Captain Magno has always deal with this every day with a sharp mind." Glynda answered.
"But it feels like she is spoiling them like little kids and making split second decisions on the important matter without any discussions! And doesn't it bother you that you weren't put in charge, sounds to me like you're being spoiled too." Bart pointed out.
"Hmm, that's… actually a good point." Glynda shocked to realize this just now.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
The Nirvana crew have arrived on the planet Anpathos which may look peaceful at first until they crew will soon realize something twisted that involves with the enemy, and hopefully Jura will get over of the Vandread that will be the key to saving this planet.
