{At The Rooftop}
Here i am again, training as best i can on the school's rooftop, and getting prepared for the Insectbot's next attack. You never know when those things will begin an attack again. Or even worse, a mass invasion! B-R-29 is gone, but that doesn't mean their empire will stop their attempts. More will come, and when that time comes, i will be ready to break some heads! Literally!
*Knock*Knock*
Ionas: Huh?
Did i hear someone knocking the door? I'm too far away from the rooftop's door to hear a knocking that clearly. So, from where did that sound come from? I look around, but i see nothing that could cause a sound like that.
*Knock*Knock*
Ok, this is starting to get creepy.
Kremant: *Loudly And Right Behind Ion* I said knock, knock!
Ionas: *Real Startled* AAH!
I jump in terror, and then turn around as i realize who it was.
Kremant: You're not doing it right. *Grin* You're supposed to say "who's there".
Ionas: *Frustrated* Kremant!
Seriously, he becomes more annoying every time we meet!
Ionas: You better have a good reason for coming at me like this. Again!
Kremant: Have i ever come to you, and not have a good reason to do so?
Ionas: Well, no, but-
Kremant: Then stop playing the dumb and just listen to what i have to say.
Ionas: ... *Sigh* I listen.
Kremant: Remember what Gnostis mentioned not long ago?
Ionas: The green reshaped? He said many things, can you be more precise?
Kremant: I'm talking about that moment he said "there is something more you need to know about our transformation". I'm sure you remember.
Ionas: Oh, right. I totally forgot about it.
Kremant: Wanting to say by that way what else happened to us when we transformed into Reshaped.
Ionas: *Annoyed* I get it, you don't need to say more about it!
Kremant: So, that means you don't want to learn what else happened to us?
Ionas: *Bored* Cut it out, Kremant, you know what i mean.
Kremant: *Grin* I know, but i really like annoying people.
Ionas: *Irritated* I've noticed that.* Wait, why you want to tell me about that now?
Kremant: I found time. You wouldn't believe how much work we Reshaped do everyday. And all for the good of our entertainment.
Somehow, i knew he would say something like that. Anyway.
Ionas: So, what is that other thing i need to know about your transformation to Reshaped?
Kremant: Before i say, you must answer this question. Have you wondered why we Reshaped see the worlds as our shows, and as our playgrounds?
Ionas: Yes. *Raises An Eyebrow* Wait, playgrounds?
Kremant: Oh yeah, i forgot to mention that one to you, didn't i? Sometimes when we find certain worlds, we Reshaped go there in big numbers.
Ionas: *Worried* Oh.
Kremant: And depending on the reason of our visit, we either sit down and use the planet for our small parties, or we just kill lots of people, or cause destruction in general, for any number of reasons.
Because i don't know what the word "party" means to them, i'm not sure which of the two is worse. Better not question that.
Kremant: Anyway, the reason we see the worlds like that, is because of the corruption.
Ionas: ... Let me guess, the crystals that have been used on you, other than the fact they have turned you into ghosts, had also as a result to corrupt your spirits, turning you into different people and changing your point of view by that way, and making you act in a chaotic and annoying way to everything and everyone around you. When in the mood, at least. I added the last one just to be fair.
Kremant: *Big Grin* Wow, That was pretty accurate! Congrats!
The moment he said that, he starts to clap.
Ionas: *Bored* It was pretty much obvious.
Kremant: *Thumbs Up* You make me proud for choosing you.
Ionas: Still hate you for that.
Kremant: Whatever. Don't really care. As long as i get to have a great show to watch, i'll be happy. Anyway, i just wanted to make things a little more clear. *Winks At The Supposed Camera* Mostly for our viewers.* *To Ion* Have a nice day at school, friend. And as always, see you later!
And like that, Kremant vanishes. This meeting was a little pointless if you ask me.
Ionas: Well, back to training.
Rito: *From Afar* Hey, Ion!
Ionas: Maybe not.
I turn around, and see Rito coming through the rooftop's door.
Ionas: Hey, Rito. What brings you up here?
Rito: Mikado-Sensei wants you to come to the infirmary.
Ionas: Why?
Rito: Well-
Ionas: *Remembers* Wait! It's for those broken Insectbots i gave her that day? Did she found something in them?
Rito: Yes.
Ionas: *In A Hurry* Then what are we waiting for, man?! Let's go!
We run downstairs, and after a few hallways we reach the infirmary. When we get inside, we see miss Mikado, Oshizu, little Celine, and Momo.
Mikado: *Smile* Oh, Ion, good that you're here too. *To Rito* Thank you for bringing him here.
Rito: It was nothing.
Ionas: So, miss Mikado, what did you find?
Mikado: Something that i was not expecting to see in a robot.
Miss Mikado walks close to a table that had on it two object that were covered with a cloth. The size of the covered objects seemed to be a little bigger than a head. When she reaches the table, she grabs the cloths from above, and pulls them away, revealing the two objects. Rito, Momo, and Oshizu were shocked and surprised by what they saw. As for me, i was mostly confused.
Ionas: ... *Raises An Eyebrow* You're kidding, right?
The two objects were a heart and a brain inside two glass-looking containers each, which they were also filled with some short of liquid. The containers also had some chopped wires on their top and bottom for some reason.
Ionas: You really found these inside the robots?
Mikado: Believe me, i was as surprised as you are. It appears these robots are made in a way that need the actual organs in order to work. If you watch closely, these containers have wires on them. Probably some short of function in order to keep the organs from dying.
So, these were in containers from the start, eh?
Ionas: Are these the only organs you found inside?
Mikado: Yes.
Momo: But, why these robots even have organs?
Ionas: ... *Realization* Oh.
I just had a very bad thought about it.
Rito: Is something wrong, Ion?
Ionas: I think i now understand what that robot meant back there when it said, "into Insectbots, like us".
Oshizu: What do you mean?
Ionas: I mean that they are killing people for their hearts and brains, and use them as resources to make more soldiers!
That's what i can only think at least. The moment i said that, shock fills the room.
Oshizu: *Sweat Drop* Th-They do what?!
Momo: *Shocked* That's horrible...
Ionas: *Serious* Yes it is. And if they capture you AND your sisters, your planet is doomed with the same fate, most likely. And after that, Earth will be their next target. But don't you worry, we will not let them do that. *Knuckle Cracking* We will break their heads before that happens.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* If you say so.
I hope so.
Ionas: Anyway, back to other matters. Miss Mikado, have you found anything else?
Mikado: Oh, yes. Inside one of them i also found this.
Miss Mikado takes out of her pocked something that appears to be a memory card.
Ionas: A memory card? Good! It must have information about the Insecbots!
Mikado: That's correct. I already checked it, and i'm afraid that due to the damage it sustained, only part of its data can be seen.
Ionas: I see. Maybe some of it is still enough for us to understand some things. Can you show us?
Mikado: Sure.
We follow miss Mikado close to a computer, where she puts the memory card in it for us to see the info. When she activates it, a video appears in the screen, showing only blackness.
Rito: Huh? What is this?
Ionas: *Serious But Cheeky* I think that's the color black, Rito.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* That's not what i meant.
I know, but the question was too stupid to not mock. That moment, from the dark screen, something appears. It was a planet that looked just like Earth.
Ionas: Everybody, hush. The video starts.
As the video continues showing the planet, we start hearing a deep robotic voice speaking.
?: Greetings, soldier of the Insectbot Empire. Today is the first day of your activation, giving you the opportunity to serve the empire and our great leader and creator. But before that, you need to learn our history, and the reason of our existence.
Wait, is this some kind of tutorial video for their newbies? This will be interesting.
?: The planet you see, is called Earth.
Excuse me?
Momo: Earth?
Ionas: *Annoyed* Hush i said!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* S-Sorry.
?: Not long ago, it was filled with humans. Billions of humans. But all that changed when we began our attack. You will think that we come from space and just invaded. But you will be wrong. The truth is, that we, the Insectbots, were actually created on this very planet.
What?!
?: But of course no human knew about it. And because of that, we had the advantage we needed to conquer everything and everyone on the world, with no much trouble at all. No human survived. Except for the few millions who mysteriously disappeared.
"Who mysteriously disappeared"? Well, now that's a mystery.
?: The sacrifice of those humans was needed in order for our kind to survive. Because other than electricity, we also need a heart and a brain in order to function and live. But, the brain needs to be the intelligent-type, so animal brains are not for use. Even a stupid human can be considered as the intelligent-type if he/she can at least speak.
Really?
?: Remember, we do not care about the humans or anyone who is not like us.
Racist much?
?: What we need to care is about our own survival. And to survive, we have to kill every intelligent-type creature, and take what we need from their remains of course. That's the reason of our existence.
That's sick! And not in the good way!
?: Without doing that, we will not be able to create more of us, because we will not have what we need in order to activate them. As you can understand, there is no other option. Now, i will tell you about how our history started, from the very beginning.
Good! That way we will see who is the one who started all this madness with the Insectbots.
?: All started a few months ago, in the day of our creation.
A few months ago?! We were about to listen to the rest, but then suddenly the video started buzzing, when it eventually stops with the screen showing that downward rainbow in place, making us understand that that's how far the video goes.
Ionas: *Frustrated* What?! That's all?!
Mikado: I told you that some of its data was damaged.
Ionas: I know... At least we learned a few things about these robots.
Oshizu: But i don't understand. What the voice meant by saying they conquered Earth, and that no human survived. Nothing like that happened here.
Ionas: Maybe because it meant some other Earth.
Oshizu: *Sweat Drop* What?!
Ionas: I mean, think about it. It said that they have conquered an Earth, and then they suddenly appear on this Earth, while there is no report about them anywhere in this whole universe. If i had to guess, i would say that they somehow traveled through the multiverse, and ended up here. And have in mind that that is coming from someone who has already traveled through the multiverse. Even in a sense. What do you think, miss Mikado?
Mikado: I think you may have a point. But is it possible for them to possess such an advanced technology?
Ionas: *Thinking* Hmm...* Yeah, that is indeed a good question. *Irritated* But, i can't keep putting the blame on Kremant every time something is off. But, since we don't really know anything about it, we will remain on that theory, along with the possibility that they somehow DO have the technology.
Mikado: No objection.
Momo: I don't get it. What it meant when it say that "all started a few months ago"?
Ionas: Maybe it was talking metaphorically. Or maybe indeed literally. Not sure to tell the truth. *Annoyed* Oh, who cares?!* *Serious* What is important right now is that we learned why they do what they do!
Oshizu: *Feels Bad* I feel bad for that planet.
Rito: *Feels Bad* Yeah. So many people...
Ionas: Alright, alright, let's not let that information depress us. Remember, those robots are here now. And they want to do the same thing to Deviluke, with THIS Earth being next on their list.
Momo: Ion is right. We must not let them do the same thing at our planets too.
Ionas:That's right! *Determined* We must be careful with those things around! We must be ready to fight! We-!
*Bell Sound*
Ionas: ... Must go back to our classes.
Rito: Yeah, better get going.
Ionas: *To Mikado* Thanks for your help, miss Mikado.
Mikado: You're welcome. Oh, by the way, Ion...
Ionas: Hm?
Mikado: Can you please come back to the infirmary at the end of the school? I would like to talk with you about something.
Ionas: And what is that?
Mikado: *Wink* Oh, i think you know.
Did she just winked at me?
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* Ok...
This is getting uncomfortable, i better get going for now. And with that, me, Rito, Momo, and Oshizu take our leave from the infirmary, and walk on the way for our classes.
Momo: Ion, what Mikado-Sensei was talking about?
Ionas: No idea to be honest. She was pobably just trying to tease me like the other time. It is kinda awkward if you ask me. Oh, by the way, i unlocked a new power this morning.
Momo: Really? What is it?
Ionas: Bring the rest of the gang on the rooftop later and i'll show you.
Momo: Ok. Why on the rooftop though?
Ionas: Just in case. I just unlocked this power and it can be a little risky to use inside the school building, without the possibility to break something by accident.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Oh, i see.* Ok, we'll make sure to bring everyone after class!
~After The Class~On The Rooftop~
When the time came, Rito and Momo, along with Nana, Lala, and Mea arrive at the rooftop. Before i greet them, i notice two more people coming along, being Yami and Yui. That's kinda unexpected.
Ionas: When you said you will bring everyone, i didn't expect that you will bring Yami, and Yui as well, Momo.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Well, i didn't actually invited them. They kinda came by themselves.
Yui: After hearing what is going on up here, i couldn't just leave you without supervision.
Typical Yui.
Ionas: And what is your reason, Yami?
Yami: To know my opponents moves in case we fight again.
Ionas: Please don't remind me.
Yui was trying to understand what we were talking about.
Mea: So, what are you going to show us today, Ion-Senpai.
It is really weird hearing someone calling me that.
Ionas: As soon as you all have taken your positions, i'll begin the demonstration.
After i told them where to go in order to have a good view of the demonstration, and to be safe, i piled a few cardboard boxes on the floor, and then kept some distance from them.
Yui: *Serious* This better not destroy the school!
Ionas: It's not that powerful, so don't worry. Also remember, what are you going to see is not that great, but it will surely be useful during a real fight. Now watch!
I place one of my feet backward and the other forward to keep some balance, and then bring one of my arms backward, while aiming for the boxes. Then, i thrust my arm forward, and from my palm an invisible force comes out, hitting the cardboard boxes, and pushing them off the roof and down below onto the school's courtyard. Everyone had their mouths open after seeing this demonstration, with the exception of Yui who just had her eyes wide open in surprise, and Yami who was her usual stoic self.
Ionas: Good, eh? I will call it "Force Push". Kremant must have had in mind the "Star Wars" movies to give me a power like this to unlock. *Quite Pleased* Either way, this power rocks!* So, what do you think?
Lala: *Amazed* Awesome!
Momo: *Smile* Quite impressive.
Nana: That was good, i guess.
Yami: I will have it in mind.
Mea: *Smile* That was a nice move, Senpai!
Seriously, that title starts to get on my nerves.
Rito: *Amazed* Amazing power!
Ionas: And you, Yui? What do you think?
Yui: I think you should clean up the mess you've made in the courtyard.
Ionas: Oh, right. *Rubs His Head In Embarrassment* Sorry, i'll clean it immediately.
Yui: Good.
Ionas: Also, it's kind of strange.
Nana: What is strange?
Ionas: When i unlocked this power, Kremant didn't show up to tell me about it as usual. Not even a small description. *Thinking* I wonder why.
~Somewhere In The Shadow Zone~
Kremant and a violet colored Reshaped were watching via a TV Ion and the others. The violet Reshaped seemed to be a little confused.
Violet Reshaped: I don't understand. Like he said, you normally go there when he unlocks a new power and tell him details about it. How come and you didn't do it this time?
Kremant: Dude, it's the force. I don't need to tell him how it works.
~After School~
When the school ends, i say my goodbyes to the others and tell them i will come home as soon as the meeting with the doctor is over. I wonder what miss Mikado wants to tell me about. It better be important and not just a silly-
Mea: *Sly Smile* Hi~.
Ionas: *Sigh* Oh, gosh darn it.
I turn around and see Mea looking at me for happily.
Ionas: Hey, Mea, what do you need?
Mea: Just wondering why you stayed behind, Ion-Senpai. Aren't you going home with the others as well?
Ionas: I will. But first i must go meet miss Mikado in her infirmary for something she wanted.
Mea: *Sly Smile* Ohh, i think i know what that is.
Ionas: *Bored* If you're thinking of something lewd, then you're definitely wrong.
Mea: *Giggle* I know. I'm just messing with you a bit. Anyway, time to go. See ya, Senpai!
And like that, she runs away.
Ionas: Well, at least that was fast. I better go to the infirmary before another weirdo shows up.
I start to walk upstairs, reaching the infirmary in no time. Before i knock the door, i notice a paper stuck on its middle. Let's see what it says.
Ionas: "Dear, Ion, i've reconsidered, and i think we should meet at my clinic instead. We can talk there. I'll be waiting for you." Seriously? *Sigh* Anyway, better start walking.
~Some Minutes Later~
After reaching the clinic, i knock the door and wait for someone to answer.
Oshizu: Yes?
Ionas: It's me, Ion.
The door opens, and Oshizu greets me.
Oshizu: Oh hello, Ion. Come in, Mikado-Sensei is waiting for you.
Like i didn't know about that already. I walk in, and Oshizu leads me to where miss Mikado is. We approach the office, and Oshizu opens the door.
Oshizu: *To Mikado* Ion is here.
Mikado: Good, Oshizu. Tell him to come inside, and leave us alone for some time.
Oshizu: Ok. You can go in, Ion.
I walk inside and Oshizu closes the door behind me, leaving me and miss Mikado alone.
Ionas: Miss Mikado.
Mikado: Thank you for coming, Ion. Please, take seat.
I sit down on a nearby chair.
Ionas: So, what did you want to talk about?
Mikado: It's about what happened yesterday.
Oh, don't tell me.
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* Yami told you about our intense fight, didn't she?
Mikado: Yes.
Ionas: *Rubs His Head In Embarrassment* Sorry about that. By the way, how is she?
Mikado: *Smile* Don't worry, she is fine. She just needs some rest.
Ionas: At least it was not something that serious. She told you why i acted in such a way, right?
Mikado: Yes, she told me. And i must say it was quite unexpected to hear how your peculiar physiology reacted to that devilukean drink.
Ionas: And also the fact that i'm technically not really a human anymore.
Mikado: Yes. As a doctor, i've seen and heard many things. But something like yourself, is rare. Inexistent i dare to say.
Ionas: Um... Thanks, i guess?
Mikado: And for that reason, i would like to run a few tests on you.
Tests?
Ionas: When you say "tests"?
Mikado: *Smile* First, i'll need to take some of your blood again.
She has a syringe in her hand already!
Ionas: *Frightened* Whoa, whoa, whoa! You already took some of my blood a few days ago! I-I mean, what happened with that sample?
Mikado: This will sound strange, but after i took the blood sample from you, the next day it just disappeared from its vial.
Ionas: *Surprised* What?!
Mikado: And what is more strange is that it left no traces behind after its disappearance, like it was never placed in there to begin with.
Ionas: Blood doesn't do that!
Mikado: Maybe it has something to do with your new DNA. And because i was not able to gather enough information about it that time, i will need to take one more sample from your blood in order to check it again. *Smile* So, will you let me take some more, Ion?
I can't believe my darned luck. I have to deal with the syringe again... But that way, we might actually learn something about my new DNA. Think about the info, think about the info!
Ionas: *Closes Eyes Shut And Extends Arm* Fine! I'll let you! Just make it quick, please.
Mikado: *Amused Giggle* (Just like the other time.)
And like the other time, miss Mikado took some of my blood again, making me feel no pain from the syringe once more. She is really good at this. After she took the blood sample, she started checking some of it in her microscope, but this time she mixes it with some other liquids. Probably to check the blood's reaction. After some time of checking, she gets up from her seat, and approaches me.
Ionas: So, what have you found?
Mikado:Other than the usual energy that wanders around your blood, i found nothing unusual, oddly enough.
Ionas: *Surprised* What?! *Frustrated* You want to tell me that i had to deal with the syringe again, for nothing?!
Mikado: *Thinking* Hmm... Maybe Kremant didn't change your DNA entirely. Or maybe recreated it in a way in order to appear normal.
Ionas: *Irritated* That wouldn't surprise me.
Mikado: Let's move in the emergency room.
Ionas: The emergency room? Why?
Mikado: There is where i keep the important equipment of the clinic. We still need to run some test on you, *Seductive-Like* in order to try and learn more about this body of yours.
That last bit sounded REALLY wrong. Wait. Emergency room. Tests. Then that means...
Ionas: *Backs Away In Total Terror* You're going to put me in for surgery?!
Mikado: What? *Giggle* Don't be silly, i'm not going to put you in for surgery. That's only for patients with pathological conditions.
Ionas: *Relieved* Oh, thank god.* *Raises An Eyebrow* Then what kind of tests are you going to run on me.
Mikado: *Smile* You'll see. Now please, follow me.
I just hope those tests she is talking about are not going to be too hard for me.
~One Hour Later~
They weren't as bad as i thought. The tests were pretty much ok. What she did was just to check with different machines my health, my heartbeat, my DNA again, but with the help of better equipment this time. It took some time, but after all those tests, miss Mikado must have found the info we were searching for.
Mikado: *Sweat Drop* I don't get it. The tests show no difference between the human DNA and yours at all.
Ok, now you've gotta be FRIGGING kidding me with this!
Ionas: *Frustrated* How is that possible?! You used your best equipment and we still can't find anything about this darned DNA of mine?!
Kremant: You lose your time, doc.
The moment we hear the voice, we turn around and see Kremant leaning his body on the door.
Kremant: Like i said in the past, this body of his is a similar version of his previous one. And even if his DNA is different from what he used to have, no matter how much you try, *Grin* you will not be able to see the difference between the human DNA and his. You can say that it's some kind of "illusion barrier" to keep things "secretly interesting". Pretty good for the show i believe.
Ionas: You mean that we try all this time for nothing? And you tell us this now?
Kremant: *Cheshire Grin* Yes.
Ionas: ...
I bring my hand backward, and then thrust it forward fast, using my Force Push on Kremant, pushing him forcefully by that way throught the door and away, which broke in the process. So those kind of attacks work on him, huh?
Mikado: Oh my.
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled And Frustrated* Oops. I'm sorry for the door, miss Mikado, but that smart-ass was asking for it!
Kremant: I don't remember asking for a push.
We look quickly behind us, and see Kremant leaning on the wall.
Ionas: *Confused* But i just... When did you-?
Kremant: You know that you will sound stupid if you make that question, right?
Ionas: ...
I really hate it when he is right.
Kremant: Also, don't worry about the door, i already fixed it.
Ionas: What?
We look at the door, and find it intact and at it's original position.
Mikado: *Smile* Oh, thank you.
Kremant: You're welcome.
Ionas: Ok, i will not ask why you even bothered with that, but why didn't you tell us from the start that all those tests were for nothing?
Kremant: *Big Grin* But to see your reaction when you realize that you spent so much time for nothing, of course! And that annoyed Force Push reaction was one of your best till now. *Thumbs Up* Nice job!
This ghost really knows how to get on my nerves.
Mikado: So there is no way to identify Ion's DNA?
Kremant: Nope! Now excuse me, i have to go at a party again. See ya!
And like that, Kremant disappeared from our sight. I can't believe that we lost so much time for nothing.
Mikado: It appears there is nothing else we can do. Sorry for making you do all those tests for nothing.
Ionas: They weren't that bad. Also, we didn't know that Kremant did something like that to cover the DNA, so don't apologize. Now can i go? The others must wonder what takes me so long.
Mikado: Sure. *Smile* See you next time, Ion.
I walk to the door, and open it.
Mikado: Oh by the way, Yami also told me that YOU were the one who suggested her to come to my clinic after your fight.
Ionas: Eh? Ah, right. I told her so in case she needed help.
Mikado: *Smile* Thank you for looking after her.
Ionas: *Smile* Oh, it was nothing, really.
Mikado: The others are lucky to have a friend like you.
Ionas: For Momo, i wouldn't be so sure.
Mikado: Why?
Ionas: *Irritated* Let's just say that you don't want to disturb me when i'm asleep.
After saying that, i take my leave, and walk on the way for Rito's house at last. Those last nights, Momo kept trying to sneak inside Rito's room, as always. And of course, somehow, she kept stumbling herself onto me, waking me up every time as a result. Because of her obsession with the guy, i keep losing half of my sleep, every! Frigging! Night! Seriously, if Momo makes another attempt to sneak in the room during the night again, i will-!
~Some Time Later~
And for ending, i will put her tail where she knows!
Ionas: *Notices* Hm?
That moment, i notice that i reached Rito's house already. Time passes quickly when you're overthinking. Anyway, let's get in.
{Momo's POV}
While Mikan was preparing the food in the kitchen, and big sis was in her room checking one of her inventions, i was sitting on the couch in the living room along with Rito-San and Celine who were playing a game, and Nana who was watching TV. I was thinking of what happened last night. I was so close to reach Rito's bed this time, when suddenly Ion moved his legs while he was asleep, and made me fall down onto him! The moment he woke up, he grabbed me immediately from the back of my shirt, moved me outside of the room, and closed the door slowly while angrily muttering something. He seemed quite upset. Not that i blame him, but from the moment he came here i have a hard time having some quality night-time with Rito! It's so frustrating! How long is this going to continue?
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Mikan: *From The Kitchen* Momo, can you open the door?
Momo: Ok.
I walk toward the door, open it, and see Ion.
Momo: Oh, *Smile* hello, Ion. It took you some time.
Ionas: *Irritated* Correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the safety rule states to ASK before you open the door for someone.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* W-Well, I...
Ionas: *Sigh* Anyway, just don't forget next time. You never know what kind of person might knock your door.
And with that, he walks in, and i close the door. That guy is seriously starting to irritate me!
Ionas: *Smile* Hi, guys, i'm back.
Rito: Oh hey, Ion.
Nana: Hi. So, what Mikado wanted from you? And what took you so long anyway?
Ionas: Well-
Momo: Maybe they did something really kinky together.
Nana: Ki- *Blush* What?!
Rito: *Confused* Eh?
Ionas: *Looks At Momo While Raising An Eyebrow, Wondering*
Momo: *Smile* I mean, it's the only reason i can think of, that could take him THAT long to return. He is a rather mature guy, after all. So, tell us, Ion, how was the experience?
Let's see you getting out of this situation now.
Ionas: *Sarcastic* Oh, ha, ha, very funny, Momo.* Do you really think i would do those kind of things with miss Mikado? Don't you think that she is a little TOO old for me? I mean seriously, she must be at least thirty. *Does An X With His Arms* So heck no, forget it!
Nana: Well... If that's true then why were you late?
Ionas: She wasn't in the school's infirmary, and a note she left behind was saying she wanted to meet me in her clinic instead. When i reach the place eventually, she made me run some tests to check my DNA.
Nana: *Raises An Eyebrow* Your DNA? For what?
Ionas: She wanted to see what kind of information she will take from it, and also try to identify what exactly am i. You know, since we learned that i'm not really a human anymore, like i told you the other day when i met up with Kremant. (Without telling you of course about my fight with Yami.) *Sigh* But in the end, we just lost our time.
Nana: How so?
Ionas: *Irritated* When we saw that we could find nothing, Kremant appears and tell us that he put some kind of "illusion barrier" in my DNA, in order to make it look like a human one. Why? To make the "show" more interesting he says. *Real Frustrated* And as you can understand, i took all those tests for nothing, and pretty much lost my precious time, because of that frigging annoyance of a ghost!
He is clearly pissed off.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* O-Ok, relax, i believe you.
Huh?!
Ionas: *Sigh* Anyway, at least from tomorrow we'll have the weekend. *Excited* In other words, no school for two days straight! About time if you ask me.
Nana: *Smile* Yeah, I totally agree with that.
I can't believe he got away with it just like that!
Ionas: *To Momo* Oh, by the way, Momo, do you have a moment? I want to speak with you about something.
Before i say anything, he grabs me by my arm, and pulls me in the hallway. When he lets me, he looks at me with an upset-looking expression on his face. I don't have a good feeling about this.
Ionas: *Obviously Upset* I saw what you did there, Momo. Not only you take half of my sleep by waking me up in the middle of every frigging night, but now you even say lies about me in front of our friends and family too!
Momo: *Sweat Dropping Like Crazy* I-It's not-
Ionas: *Furious* Shut your hole!
He looks even more angry than before!
Ionas: *Real Upset* Now listen well, you sly fox, if you ever dare to say a lie like that ever again about me, i will-!
~In An Unknown, Underground Facility~
Somewhere in the facility, where lots of insectbots walk and fly around, the Sergeant B-R-200 approaches a machine that appears to have the look of a giant portal.
B-R-200: Is the teleportation machine ready, soldier?
Insectbot: Yes, sir.
B-R-200: Good. *Sigh* Begin the transportation process.
Insectbot: As you command.
The insectbot pulls down a lever, and the empty space of the portal starts to emit a strong light, while also discharging tons of electricity from the inside. And after a few seconds, a large and muscular-looking Insectbot figure walks out of the portal.
B-R-200: Ok, he is here, turn it off!
The insectbot soldier pulls up the lever, and the portal shuts down. The Sergeant approaches the large insectbot figure, and salutes.
B-R-200: Welcome to our base, Lieutenant H-B-R-12.
H-B-R-12: *Jolly* Long time no see, B-R-200! How are you, my little friend?
B-R-200: *Irritated* I would feel better if you could stop calling me "little", sir.
H-B-R-12: *Pats The Sergeant's Shoulder* Don't worry! You'll live. So, what orders our leader has sent us for this mission?
B-R-200: This way.
The two insectbots walk into a room, and approach a big screen. The Sergeant activates it, and pushes some buttons, making by that way appear on the screen the pictures of Lala, Momo, Nana, Yami, and Ion.
B-R-200: According to the great one, our main objective is to capture the three devilukean princesses, use them to force the king of Deviluke to surrender his empire, and ensure by that way our total victory by taking their entire universe under our control for the needed resources.
H-B-R-12: You mean for their brains and hearts?
B-R-200: And for their technology.
H-B-R-12: Neat!
B-R-200: But after what happened recently, we also have orders to gather information about the human who keeps getting in our way.
H-B-R-12: So that's the human who killed B-R-29?
B-R-200: Yes, that's the one.
H-B-R-12: What a shame. B-R-29 was a nice company to have. I will miss the poor guy.
B-R-200: *Sarcastic* If you say so, sir.* We also need to watch out for the one named Yami. We did not really face her yet, but according to our info she is a dangerous ally of theirs due to her ability to change her body into a variety of weapons, along with her vast experience in combat. We should be careful in case she gets in our way too.
H-B-R-12: I see. I'll have her in mind too. So, what's the name of that human?
B-R-200: He is called Ionas Dardanidis. Ion for short.
H-B-R-12: What else?
B-R-200: He has powers and abilities that a normal human doesn't have, and he is capable enough to defeat our B-R soldiers without much effort.
H-B-R-12: I see. He is strong then. *Jolly* I would like to meet that human.*Been long since the last time i crushed someone to death.
Ionas: Maybe i was a little too harsh with Momo when i said that last one.
Kremant: Don't worry, it was censored.
Ionas: Wha- Not it was not!
Kremant: For those who read, it was.
Ionas: Wha-?
Kremant: Next time on To love-Ru: Helping Is Caring.
Ionas: What the heck are you even talking about?!
