~At School~During The Class~
Two more days have passed. Both of them calm as well. The insectbots are probably still planning on how to take me down. And as for Kremant... Strangely, he is still nowhere to be found.
*Bell Sound*
After the bell rang for our free period in school, i walk out of the class and through the hallways, thinking about these last few days. The only incidents that happened so far, are Rito's and Haruna's accidental body swap, because of one of Lala's devices, and that other thing with Run's pet skunk that makes people young for some time. Lucky i was not there when that last one happened. Was busy training to use my Skeletal Constructs power properly, and see what else i can create through it. Who knows what different effect that skunk would have on me, if i happened to be there at that time. But other than that, these days were pretty much peaceful. That moment, i stop walking in the middle of the hallway, wondering even more about these recent peaceful days.
Ionas: *Thinking* ...
Way too peaceful to tell the truth. Yeah, something is off here.
Nana: Hey, Ion, are you there?
Ionas: Hm?
I look in front of me, and notice Nana looking at me.
Ionas: Oh sorry, didn't see you there.
Also, your short appearance doesn't help much on that.
Ionas: *Notices She Is Alone* I see that Mea is not with you this time. How come?
Nana: I asked her about going together to a cake store later, but she said she couldn't come along for some reason, and left without saying anything else. It seemed like something was troubling her.
Ionas: I see.
So Mea had something else to do. That reminds me of the episode where... Wait a minute... This sounds like nothing i've seen in the "To Love-Ru series" at all. Could it be...
Nana: Ion?
Could it be that i've reached the time where i will no longer know what happens next in the "series"?
Nana: *Serious* Ion!
Ionas: *Snaps Back To Reality* Eh? Ah, sorry again, Nana.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Is it me, or are you spacing out more than usual? What is troubling you again?
Ionas: Well, other than what you said about Mea, it's these last days that are troubling me.
Nana: What about them?
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* Have you not notice? Kremant has not appeared during these last few days. Not even once. Isn't that a little strange?
Nana: Maybe he got bored and left us alone at last.
Ionas: I don't think that's the case. Something must be up.
Nana: *Serious* Well, whatever it is, i don't think it's that important. Don't forget about who are we talking about.
Ionas: *Thinking* Hmm, maybe you are right. You never know with that ghost.
Still, that doesn't mean i shouldn't worry. He might be planning an even bigger surprising appearance than before or something.
Nana: Anyway, since Mea has no time today, *Smile* wanna come to the cake shop with me later?
Ionas: Nana, you know well that i never say "no" to anything that involves food. Well, most of the time at least.
Nana: So, that means-
Ionas: *Smile* Yes, Nana, that means i will definitely come along. Nice of you to invite me.
Nana: *Blushing And Seemingly Annoyed* D-Don't take this the wrong way! I'm only inviting you because Mea couldn't come instead, that's all!
Ionas: *Sarcastic* Sure.*
Like i don't know what kind of character you are.
Ionas: But, you should probably try to talk to Mea one more time. You know, to see what is going on, and try to invite her one more time so she can come as well. Being with friends always cheers someone's spirit.
Nana: I was planning to do just that, actually.
Ionas: Oh. *Smile* Good. Let's hope she will come.
To tell the truth, i don't really enjoy thinking about having Mea along with us. She is always such a pain with the whole "senpai" naming thing. But if Nana convinces her to come along in the end, then i will just have to accept the fact, and enjoy the extra company.
~After School~
I was waiting patiently outside of the school's gate for Nana and Mea to appear, and not long after, i notice Nana approaching me alone. Guess that means Mea didn't want to come along in the end.
Ionas: So, Mea is not coming with us in the end, eh?
Not that i mind.
Nana: Yeah. She still seems troubled, but i think she is feeling a little better after talking to her.
Ionas: Even so, she still wants to be alone at the time. She must have a lot in her mind.
Probably something happened that has to do with her "master". Kremant must know something about it. But even if he was here now, i doupt he would share any information about such thing with me.
Ionas: *Smile* Well, no worries. I'm sure she will be better by tommorow. Meanwhile, let's get going to that cake store you were talking about. Shall we?
Nana: *Smile* Yeah. Let's go.
And with that, we start walking on the way for that store. Let's hope it is not too far away.
~A Few Minutes Later~
While we were walking, i remembered something.
Ionas: Hey, Nana?
Nana: Yes?
Ionas: *Somewhat Excited* The last days i discovered a few more things i can create via the Skeletal Constructs power. Wanna see?
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Umm... Sure, ok.
Ionas: *Excited* Alrighty then!
After saying that, i use my power to create a skeletal blade out of one of my forearms like the last time.
Ionas: *Thinking* Let's see, let's see... Oh, yeah.
After focusing for a moment, i turn the blade into a small version of a labrys (A double-bitted-like axe).
Nana: *Amazed* Oh! That's actually kinda cool! In what else can you turn it to?
Ionas: *Thinking* Well...
That moment i turn the small labrys into a somewhat big hammer.
Ionas: I can turn it into a hammer.
Then i turn the hammer into a Naginata (A japanese weapon that consists of a wooden pole with a big, curved single-edged blade on the end).
Ionas: Into a Naginata. *Thinking* Umm, that's what i think it is called here at least.* Oh, and in case we need tools for certain jobs, like digging-
By saying that, i turn the Naginata into a shovel.
Ionas: I can also make things like a shovel for us to use.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Ok... Not that i don't think this is not in a way useful, but unless you can actually take it out of your forearm, i don't think that anyone else can really use it.
Ionas: *Smile* No worries.
By saying that, i grab the part of the shovel close to my forearm, and with a simple pull, i actually take it off there, like unplugging a plug.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Eh?!
Ionas: I also discovered that i can actually remove them THAT easily if i want to. Weird, but quite convenient. For a few hours at least.
Nana: For a few hours? What do you mean?
Ionas: For some reason, after removing from myself the things i create with this power, they disappear after some hours. The smaller they are, the sooner they vanish.
Nana: I see.
After saying that, i place the bone-shovel back into my forearm, making it shrink and disappear inside the bone again.
Ionas: Anyway, how much till the cake store?
Nana: Not too far from here. We'll be there in a few minutes.
Ionas: Ok then. Too bad Mea is not coming with us, though.
In a way.
Ionas: I know that she really loves eating sweets.
Nana: Yeah. *Smile* And that's why i decided to buy one cake for her too, once we reach the store.
Ionas: *Smile* Oh. That's very thoughtful of you, Nana. I bet she will appreciate that move from you.
Nana: *Smile* I'm sure about it.
Since i don't know what will happen in the future anymore, i can only guess and try to be positive about it. The worst case of scenario would be for Nana to eventually discover Mea's secret about who and what she really is. But, how many possibilities there are for that to happen soon anyway?
?: Excuse me, sir?
Ionas: Hm?
I turn around and see three police officers approaching us. To tell the truth, this is the first time i see police officers from the moment i ended up here and it's quite surprising to me. I wonder what they want.
Police Officer: Are you, Ionas Dardanidis?
They know my name?!
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* Umm... Yeah. Is something the matter, officers?
Police Officer: There have been many strange reports and incidents lately in our town. And we think that you might be the cause.
Ionas: *Surprised* Wha-?
They must be talking about the many fights i had. How they learned it was me?
Ionas: Wait, how are you sure that-?
Police Officer: A camera spotted you at one of the incidents. Same face, same figure, same height.
Ionas: ...
Ok, considering that some of my fights were not really heroic-like, i think i might be in real trouble here.
Police Officer: We will ask you to come to the police station with us calmly, sir.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* W-Wait a minute! Ion did nothing wrong! He was just trying to protect-!
Police Officer: Stay calm, miss. We just need to ask him a few questions. He is not going to end up in jail.
Ionas: Oh. *Raises An Eyebrow* Really?
Police Officer: Yes. No need to worry, sir. You are free to go once we clear a few things up.
So, i will guess that they will give me some explanations, about what i'm supposed to do or not do in different situations because of how much of a special case i am? That seems like a lot of pain considering what i face sometimes. Not that i have any choice at the moment.
Ionas: Alright then, i'll come with you.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* But, Ion, what about the cake store?
Ionas: Sorry, Nana, maybe another time. You can still go by yourself, though. Need to buy that cake for Mea after all. Don't worry, i'll be home before dinner.
Police Officer: If you're finished, we better get going now, sir.
Ionas: Right. Anyway, i will see you later, Nana.
Nana: *Somewhat Sad* Yeah. See you later too.*
By saying that, i turn around and follow the police officers.
Nana: I... *Yells At Ion* I'll buy you a cake too, ok?
Ionas: *While Smiling He Turns To Yell At Nana And Waves His Hand* I will be really disappointed if you don't!
Nana: *Smile*
And with that over, i continue following the police officers. Let's hope this will not take long.
~Some Minutes Later~
I followed them for a long distance till now. Just how far is that police station of theirs? It's getting dark outside already. Don't wanna be late for dinner. While we were walking, a strange fog starts gathering, covering slowly the area around.
Ionas: *Surprised* Where did that thick fog come from? Is this normal?
When i look in front of me again, i see that the police officers were nowhere to be found.
Ionas: Officers? You still there?
I receive no response. I have a really bad feeling about this. That instant, i feel something slicing me on one of my sides.
Ionas: *In Pain* OOW!
That hurts! I look at my injury and see a deep cut there. That looks like it will take some time to heal itself even with my healing factor. What in the world could actually cut me like that?!
Ionas: *Upset* Who's there!?
The moment i said that, i see two figures coming at high speed toward me. Before i even react, the first one slices me on my other side, and the second one slices me on one of my thighs, before both of them disappear once again into the fog.
Ionas: OUCH! *Struggles To Resist The Pain*
More deep injuries.
Ionas: *Angry* Alright! This is getting ridiculous!
I bring my arms up till i end up making a "T" shape (Didn't know how else to describe the arms's position), i prepare the force palm power to both my hands, and then i collide them with each other in front of me, sending a force wave around strong enough to clear the area from the fog completely. Once the fog is out of the way, i could see clearly those who were attacking me. They were two human-like robots, purple in color, and their height seemed to be around 2.10. By looking at their armor, i can say they are insectbots. But unlike other insectbots i met so far, those hardly look like insects. Also, they have a female-like figure and characteristics.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Well that's new.
P-M-R-3: Well, well, aren't you full of surprises?
The moment i hear the voice, i look upward and notice a tall figure at the top of a building behind me.
P-M-R-3: *Smile* Not that i really expected anything less from someone like you, of course.
Ionas: And who are you supposed to be?
P-M-R-3: The name is P-M-R-3. One of the Lieutenants of the insectbot empire.
P-M? I wonder what that stands for.
P-M-R-3: Not that it really matters at the moment. *Smile* After all, you are going to be dead once we are finished with you.* *To Her Own* Girls! Positions!
The moment she said that, more of those purple female-like insectbots appear out of nowhere. In the end, i was surrounded by ten of them.
Ionas: *Frustrated* Great, more of those.* *To P-M-R-3* Anyway, can i ask something before we begin this fight? What does the P-M in your name stands for?
P-M-R-3: Oh, that's easy. *To Her Own* Girls! *Evil Smile* Show him.
When she said that, on each of the ten purple ones, appear from their backs a set of two extended arm-like appendages with a big sharp blade in each of them, giving them a scythe-like appearance. Those things seem to have a long reach.
Ionas: ... *Realizes* Oh! It stands for "Praying Mantis". Ok, now i get it.
Now i only wonder what happened to those police officers i was following. Either they were killed by the insectbots, or they were simply insectbots in disguise that were leading me into this trap. Not that it's important right now. Also, considering that the Insectbots were watching me for some time, they surely know how my powers work and how i usually fight. They may use that knowledge as an advantage against me. I must be careful, these ones are practically assassins that i'm dealing with this time.
P-M-R-3: *Evil Smile* Girls, i expect results! Turn him into one thousand pieces.
By saying that, five of them leap forward, about to strike me from all directions with their blades. Just before they strike, i make a strong jump upward to avoid getting hit by their blades, and make them hit the air instead by that way. I already saw what damage they can do with those. My injuries still hurt.
Ionas: *Notices* Darn.
While still in mid-air, the other five of the team jump toward me, ready to attempt to cut me down as well. When they are about to strike, i use my force palm above toward the sky, making the power of my attack to push me downward by that way, allowing me to dodge in time. While i was falling down, i see the other five at the ground having surrounded the location i was gonna land, waiting to strike me the moment i come into their range of attack. Without losing any time, i use my force palm at the ground below, with the force wave pushing them away the moment it impacts with the ground, far enough to allow me a safe landing in the end. Before i even catch a break after all that, i see the other five coming from the sky toward my location at high speed, with their blades extended and ready to strike.
Ionas: *Frustrated* Oh for goodness-
Seeing the blades approaching me before i can dodge them in time, i use the Adrenal Activation power to boost myself, allowing me to back away the last second fast enough to actually avoid their blades, making them by that way to strike the ground instead. After taking some distance from them, i immediately stop the use of Adrenal Activation's before it drains more of my energy. Need to be careful with that.
Ionas: *Relieved* Phew, that was-
That moment, a small rocket flies toward me and explodes the moment it hits my chest, throwing me away, and then down onto the ground by that way. It was not as bad as those blades were, but still, not a nice feeling to be hit by an explosive.
Ionas: *In Pain* Ouch! Where the heck that came from?!
I look at that P-M woman at the top of the building, and see that one of her arms (Not the special ones) had a small device on it, which she was aiming at me. She is the one who launched that!
Ionas: *Frustrated* That was a cheap shot!
P-M-R-3: *Wink* Didn't really think i will just stand here and simply watch, did you? *Menacing And Smiling* I'm going to take every opportunity to bring you down, so don't hope that i will play nice.
Oh, so that's how it's gonna be, eh?
P-M-R-3: Hitting you with this, was as easy as leading you in this trap. All it needed was just a simple disguise to trick you, and you followed us without much effort. *Shakes Her Head Mockingly* How clueless can you humans be sometimes. So pathetic of you.
So those police officers WERE just a disguise after all! Also, mocking me after pulling such a cheap shot on me is not a good idea.
Ionas: *Serious* Very well then. Try to trick me as much as you like, i don't care. But remember, TWO can play this game.
P-M-R-3: *Somewhat Amused* And now i suppose you expect me to be scared about it. Not a chance, sweetie. *To Her Own* Girls, enough playing around! *Evil Smile* Finish him off!
Once again, five of them rush toward me, while the other five were waiting in their positions for their moment. While i still had time before they reach me, i create two skeletal blades from my forearms to assist me in battle. When the attackers get close enough, with a sudden movement i jump toward them with my blades extended, aiming for the center of their team. The last moment, the three who were on the way dodge my attack by moving sideward, allowing me to pass through their team from the empty center, avoiding contact with any of them. Immediately, after landing close enough to them, pretty much surrounded, i make both my blades longer and bigger in an instant, and swing them around with all my might to strike those who were still around me, with two of them able to dodge in time, but with the other three not being as lucky. The moment my blades reach them, they are cut into pieces in an instant, as if they were inside a blender. Seeing what happened, the other two take some distance from me fast, to avoid further confrontation. Looks like they didn't expect something like that to happen.
P-M-R-3: *Surprised* Oh... Well that's unexpected.
Ionas: *Smile* As i thought. You people definitely know about my powers and pretty much my common movements during a battle, right? *Raises An Eyebrow* Well, since that's the case, i can just use moves that i never actually tried before in the open.
After saying that, i bring my blades back to their original size, and then take a battle stance.
Ionas: Come and try your luck, you girly bugs! *Menacing* I dare you.*
P-M-R-3: *Looks At Him Frustrated* ... *To Her Own* Don't let him intimidate you! He is just bluffing. Now all of you, attack!
And so, the other five begin their rush toward me like the others did. But this time, i have two more rushing to attack me from behind. Time to show them some more new tricks. I turn around quickly, and with a swing of my arms, i launch my blades at the two who were coming from behind, piercing the one through the head, making her fall down onto the ground for good, and the other to where the stomach is supposed to be, making her stop her advance toward me and kneel in pain, as she holds the blade in her wound. I'm sure they knew that i can detach my blades and other objects i create via this ability, but not that i can actually use them like projectiles too. Neat trick! Also, seriously, why these robots even feel pain? Other than that-
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled By The Sight Of His Work* That looks a little disturbing.
While i was looking the other way, the other five were about to reach me, preparing their blades to strike. Three of them were flying, and the other two were running on the ground while approaching me. Noticing they are close enough already, i take position with my back facing them even better, and when the time is right, i make multiple bone-like spikes to come out of my back, and which extend toward them forcefully. The three who were on the sky evaded the spikes without much problem, while the two who were coming from the ground were penetrated in an instant by many of the said spikes in a gruesome way.
Ionas: *A Bit More Troubled By The Sight Of His Work* And that looks even worse than the previous one.
Maybe i should just stop with those kind of tricks. This is getting too violent even for me. I absorb fast the bone-spikes back in my back, letting the two insectbots i penetrated with them fall onto the ground. They don't look like they will bother me ever again. The other three froze after seeing all that. And to think that they are supposed to be my assassins. Amateurs!
P-M-R-3: ... *Sigh* Ok, girls, i think that's enough. Two of you teleport along with our fallen and injured back to the base, and take them for urgent repairs! The remaining one, come to me!
After giving her orders, two of them gathered at high speed their fallen comrades and teleported away immediately, with the other one going up to the building where P-M was. They seemed to discuss about something. Maybe that's a good time for me to leave, while they are looking away. The moment i turn around, their lieutenant lands at some distance in front of me, blocking my way. Now that i see her better, i can see that unlike her soldiers, she is white in color, and her height seems to be close to three meters.
P-M-R-3: *Arms Crossed* Thought you could get away just like that?
At the moment, the night officially covers the sky.
Ionas:Well, i tried.So, where is your remaining pawn? Awaiting to strike me when i least expect it from behind? Not that i expect much anymore.
P-M-R-3: *Smile* Don't you worry, she is not going to bother you, for now. Also just so you know, my personal soldiers ARE good at what they do.* But it looks like not good enough to kill you at the moment. Upgrades are required after this.
Ionas: *Frustrated* Great! More upgraded enemies! Like i didn't see that one coming.* *Serious* Anyway, are we going to fight one another now, or you will leave me in peace for the day?
P-M-R-3: *Smile* Like i'm going to make it that easy for you.
Ionas: *Shrugs* It was worth a shot.
P-M-R-3: No. *Evil Smile* THIS is worth a shot!
The moment she said that, she aims at me with the wrist rocket launcher in her arm again, and launches a small rocked my way. I quickly bring my arms in front of me to defend myself, and the moment the rocket reaches me, it makes a big explosion that pushes me backward a bit, but not off my feet.
Ionas: *Cheeky* Was that your best-?
Before i even notice it, she appears right in front of me, and kicks me at the side of my face, throwing me away, and down onto the ground by that way.
P-M-R-3: *Cheeky* Yes. Yes it was.
The kick hurt, but other than throwing me down, it didn't do any serious damage. Also, i now notice that the injuries i received from her soldiers moments ago, are already gone. Good news for me. I get up and face her once again.
Ionas: Well, still not that much. I have great durability, remember?
P-M-R-3: Well in that case-
By saying that, she slowly reveals and extends her two arm-like appendages from the back, bringing them in front of her, which unlike the ones her soldiers have, those had a set of blades around them like they were some kind of scary-looking chainsaws.
P-M-R-3: *Evil Smile* I guess i will just have to cut through thoroughly.
When she said that, the chainsaws activate, and the blades start to move around like crazy, as both the devices emit the awful sound one as such can make.
Ionas: *Somewhat Frightened* Oh, my...
That's a really horrifying choice of weapon. Without losing any time, she rushes toward me at high speed, ready to strike me with one of her chainsaws, going for my head. I quickly bring out of my forearms two skeletal blades, and use one of them to defend myself, blocking the incoming attack the last moment. Thankfully, it seems that not even those chainsaws are able to cut through what i create with my bones.
Ionas: *Cheeky* It doesn't seem like you will cut through any time soon.
P-M-R-3: *Evil Smile* Wait till i find an opening, and we'll see about that.
I push her backward with my blade, and attack with my other one, attempting to impale her, but she is able to dodge my attack by spinning toward the side, before she immediately attempts to hit me with one of her chainsaws again, aiming for one of my sides this time, only for me to quickly bring both my blades on that side to block the attack, but with the said attack being this time strong enough to push me and throw me away, and straight onto a wall by that way with my back. She is way stronger than she looks. This is going to be a difficult fight. I unstuck myself from the wall, and rush toward her. When i reach her, i start attacking with my blades, one after another, but she is able to dodge and block my strikes without much trouble. After a little while, she finds the chance and pushes me backward with one of her legs, almost making me lose my balance for a moment. Then, she comes close to me with both her chainsaws being pointed to the sky, and then immediately swings them downward to strike me.
Ionas: *Alarmed* Shi-!
I bring the last moment my blades upward and stop the chainsaws from reaching me. Then, she starts pushing them downward even more, trying to break my defence, making this hard for me to stand my ground.
P-M-R-3: *Evil Smile* You are very persistent, you know that?
Ionas: *Struggling With Defending* I've heard that before, and yes, i agree.
P-M-R-3: *Evil Smile* Say, have you wondered till now where my last soldier might be? She is missing for some time now.
Ionas: *Struggling With Defending* Probably still hiding in the shadows for a surprise attack. *Cheeky* I'll be ready for that, no worries.
P-M-R-3: *Evil Smile* Are you sure about that? I might have had a different task for her to do. Wanna guess what might be more important than letting her assist me with our fight?
Ionas: ... *Shocking Realization* The princesses!
P-M-R-3: *Evil Smile* Didn't see that coming, did you? My soldier must be there already! Taking care of your dear princesses. You left them in their doom. You disappointed them. And all that because you decided to stay here and fight me. What a joke of a guardian you are!
Ionas: *Shocked* ...
I really messed it up this time. Can't believe i let something like that happen! I must go back and save them! I might still have-!
P-M-R-3: Just kidding.
Ionas: Eh?
That moment, i see her normal hands below carrying two pistols, before she starts shooting multiple energy-like shots at my chest and stomach, which push me some feet away and throwing down onto the ground after a few more shots.
Ionas: *In Great Pain* Oow...
And i thought the blades were hurting. There were burning spots to where i received the shots, but nothing that serious to worry about.
P-M-R-3: *Smile* Just so you know, a normal human would be like a swiss cheese by now after all that. Anyway, my soldier is not after your princesses. It would be foolish of me to send only one after them.
Ionas: *Realization* Wait, you were frigging lying?!
P-M-R-3: *Wink* That's right. You humans are so gullible some times.* One little lie and it's like you whole world is in ruins. In the end, you are all weak. *Evil Smile* And when i finish with you, your world is going to-
Before she finish that sentence, i strike the ground with my punch in anger, breaking a big part of it, while still lying on the ground.
P-M-R-3: *Raises An Eyebrow* Hm?
Ionas: *Anger Intensifies* You dare tell me such a lie... Making me believe my friends are in danger...* *Furious* And mock me because i worry for them?!
I get up and look at her with great anger. Too much anger, actually. Then is when i understand that i start to change again. So tired of this. In what monster will i turn into this time?
P-M-R-3: So, you decided to transform like that other time. That's right, we know even that. *Cheeky* I guess that means you are not capable enough to face me as you normally are, huh?
After hearing that while i was about to change completely, i suddenly turn back to normal, without noticing at the moment, and look at her offended.
Ionas: *Offended* Hey, that's not true! I can fight you just fine without transforming! But it's not like i can control it when it happens!
P-M-R-3: *Raises An Eyebrow* Then why you changed back so easily?
Ionas: Eh?
Then is when i realized that i was back to normal.
Ionas: *Confused* Well that's strange.
Probably making me think that she doesn't thinks i can fight her in my normal form, made me forget for a moment my actual anger, and prevented me from changing as a result. Prideful much?
P-M-R-3: Oh, so you mean it. To tell the truth we knew that something was off with that transformation, but we never actually thought it was unintentional. Interesting.
Ok, i think i've had enough of those insectbots for one day. Time to finish this fight. I mean, it's night already.
Ionas: *Serious* P-M, i think it's time to finish this.
From one arm, i bring out a bone-blade long enough that penetrates the ground below it. Then, i make it change form, and make it look more like a sword, giving it a hilt as well. After it was finished, i grab it with my hand from its hilt, take it out of my forearm, and from the ground, and start to carry it like an actual sword.
P-M-R-3: Does that mean that you want to do this traditionally? Because i don't really plan to follow your example and be all 'honorable-like".
Ionas: I was not really planning for such thing.
After saying that, i bring my free hand behind my back, and start to gather energy for a certain attack.
P-M-R-3: Now what you might be planning this time?
Ionas: You'll see soon. *Serious* Here i come!
I dash forward, ready to fight her in close combat once more. Once i reach her, i try to strike with my sword, but she blocks it with one of her chainsaws. Then, she tries to strike me with her other chainsaw, but i dodge it quickly by jumping backward. After that i immediately leap forward, and try to impale her with the sword, but she dodges by moving sideward the last second. When i land on the ground, i take some distance from her, and stay there preparing for her to make the next move. Also it seems that gathering this energy in my hand slows me down a little, also makes me feel somewhat tired, so i'll need to be careful with my movements while i do that.
P-M-R-3: You seem a little slower than before. *Evil Smile* Whatever you are doing there, must really exhaust you.
Oh, she realized.
P-M-R-3: *Evil Smile* Don't worry. In a few seconds, you will take a rest, that you will be dying for.
Bad joke, real bad. After that, she finally makes her move and leaps toward me. When she is about to reach me, she starts to spin herself around through the air along with her chainsaws like a murderous ballerina. I move quickly my sword to the side, to where both her chainsaws were coming from, and block her attack with all my might, stopping her spin by that way. Then, i immediately kick her on the torso, pushing her back some feet from me, and keeping my distance from her once again. Need to slow her down as much as i can if i want this to work.
P-M-R-3: *Annoyed* Tsk. Even though you are slower than before, your reactions are still quick enough to block all attempts. So annoying... *Serious* Time for a different approach!
The moment she said that, she starts shooting at me with her two blaster-like pistols. I make attempts to avoid getting hit, but blocking all shots with my sword is too much of a task even for me. I'm being hit by more shots than i can actually dodge and block. She is too precise with her pistols and i'm not really trained at blocking shots with a sword like some short of "Jedi"!
P-M-R-3: *While Shooting* You may be able to withstand most attacks, but that doesn't mean they can't harm you if you are hit by them continuously. *Evil Smile* I have much of ammo and you will fall before i run out of it!
That insectbot is really persistent! But i must admit, she has a point. If more of those shots hit me, i will be in real trouble. I think i gathered enough energy already. All i need now is a clear shot. Yeah, i don't think doing this from such distance will help me do much damage. I must find a way to get closer to her fast and strike directly.
Ionas: *Remembers While Struggling With Defending And Dodging* Oh right.
It's risky to use that, but considering the shots that keep hitting me, standing here is even more risky!
Ionas: *Serious* Well, time to get things done.
Waiting no more, i activate the Adrenal Activation, and begin to run toward her with unimaginable speed.
P-M-R-3: *Surprised* What the-?!
She tries to shoot me with a rain of shots again, but at such speed i dodge them without problem. When i finally reach her, i use my sword to cut her pistols in pieces, and then to impale one of her feet onto the ground, and immediatelly after do the same thing to her other foot with one more blade i quickly take out of my forearm, sticking by that way both her feet onto the ground, making her unable to run or fly away. I then stop the use of the Adrenal Activation just in case.
P-M-R-3: *In Pain* AHH! My feet!
Ionas: One of these days i must ask one of you about why you even FEEL pain as robots. But for now i just want to finish this and go home in one piece.
P-M-R-3: *Evil Smile* How about several pieces!
While saying that, she brings downward both her chainsaws to strike me, with me using quickly the Skeletal Constructs to create and extend two long bones out of both my shoulders, coiling around the chainsaws and completely stopping them before they even reach me. I expected she would try that.
Ionas: *Cheeky But Serious* No thanks, i'm good.
P-M-R-3: *Real Frustrated* You will pay for this!
Ionas: *Serious* I'm not paying for someone else's mistakes.
After saying that, i bring my hand immediately forward, and release the energy i gathered so far at her. The moment i do that, a wave of energy is released from my palm in front of me so forcefully, that not only it blows away what was in front of me, but it also blows ME away, sending me by that way flying away from the area backward, and high into the sky.
Ionas: *Greatly Troubled And Surprised* What the he~ck!
The force was so much, that i'm now literally flying above of the town because of that! Maybe i should start testing my powers before i think of using them in an actual combat. Wonder how long it will take before i fall down again.
~One Minute later~
Ionas: Oh, i think i'm starting to fall down at last. *Troubling Realization* Wait-
Just as i was thinking about it, i fall down with my back at the asphalt of the road, leaving a trail of debris on the path behind me, till my advance through the road finally stops after a few meters.
Ionas: *In Great Pain* Oow~...
No matter how sturdy i am, falls like this OBVIOUSLY HURT!
Nana: *Sweat Drop* I-Ion?!
Ionas: Eh?
I look beside me and see Nana carrying a little package in one of her hands.
Ionas: *Weak-Like Smile* Oh hey, Nana, how is it going?
Nana: *Sweat Drop* ... Ok, what happened this time?
Ionas: *Weak-Like* Well, all started when-
Just before i could explain, out of nowhere, a blade strikes and breaks the ground in front of Nana, before it is pulled again back where it came from, surprising us both.
Ionas: *Annoyed* I swear, if that's another insectbot, i will-!
?1: *Troubled* Damn it!
?2: *Troubled* She is a monster!
After hearing that, we notice three strange humanoid aliens at the rooftop of a building not far from us. By the look of it, they seem like they are running from something.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Wha-What is going on?
Mea: Are you running away?
Wait, did i just hear Mea? Then is when we notice HER as well, along with Rito at a rooftop close by. The only difference, parts of her hair were blades and her arms were frigging blasters!
Mea: *Smile* I'm doing my best to hold back, so let's play some more, old dudes.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Mea...?
This is when Mea notices Nana as well. I could see she was quite shocked that Nana saw her like that. And considering that Nana didn't know till now what Mea really was, and if i get the right idea about the whole situation, that means...
Ionas: *Troubling Realization* Oh, shi-
Purple Reshaped: It looks like Mea's secret has been revealed to Nana at last.
Kremant: That means we are getting closer to the good part.
Purple Reshaped: Too bad you're too busy to visit them yet. I know how much you love messing around at such moments.
Kremant: Yes. Yes i do. Next time on To Love-Ru: Affection.
Purple Reshaped: So, what are you doing again and you're so busy?
Kremant: Oh right, you are still new around here. Well, like any other good Reshaped, i simply make sure to-
