~At School~
I was walking along with Rito and Saruyama through the school hallways. I was positioned behind of the two while walking, so I can make space for other people who walk around as well, and so I will not get in the way of anyone.
Ionas: So, what you wanna do, dudes?
Rito: Well-
Saruyama: *Serious* Stop!
Saruyama says while showing us a stop gesture, stopping us.
Ionas: Hm?
Then we notice up ahead small Lala walking about. You know, now that I think about it, her size now matches her character. *Amused* Ha!* At the moment, Saruyama seems to drool a little for some reason.
Saruyama: *Wipes Drool Off His Mouth* *Blush* Boing-Boing Lala-Chan is cute, but this... Has a charm of its own.
Rito: *Unease* Saruyama, you...
Ionas: ... *Turns His Head Slowly And Menacingly Toward Saruyama*
Saruyama takes out his phone and starts taking pictures of small Lala, while chuckling like a pervert.
?: YUUKI!
We notice that moment Ren coming fast, and grabbing Rito by his shirt, seemingly upset.
Ren: *Upset* It's all your fault! Restore Lala-Chan back to normal at once!
Rito: *Sweat Drop* You're being unreasonable!
While Ren was throwing his unreasonable tantrum onto Rito, I touch Saruyama with one finger and give him a dose of electricity, making him to lose his consciousness and fall down onto the floor. I then take the phone off his hands, and start deleting all the small Lala's pictures he just took.
Ionas: *While Deleting* *Irritated* That sick fool, he took a lot of them.
*Ren Is Forcefully Pushed By Run That Moment Straight At Ion, Having As A Result For Him To Hit His Head Onto His Shoulder, And Falling Down Unconscious, With Ion Keeping On Deleting Photos From The Phone, Not Really Paying Attention Or Realizing What Just Happened*
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Hey, Ion, a little hel-? *Notices* What happened to-?! *Notices Again* Wait, is that Saruyama's phone you're holding? What are you-?
Ionas: *While Deleting* *Serious* Trust me, he will thank me once he sees that no FBI, or the equivalent of this country, comes knocking onto his door. There is a level on how much of a pervert a human is allowed to be, after all.
I close Saruyama's phone after finishing, and place it inside his pocket.
Ionas: There. *Notices The Unconscious Ren Onto The Floor* *Raises An Eyebrow* What happened to him?
I then notice Run clinging onto Rito's arm, and Yui showing her usual authority.
Ionas: *Confused* Ok...
Damn, I was too focused on the phone and lost everything that occurred at the moment!
~The Next Free Period~
Alright, the bell rang, now it's time to-
*Phone Message Ringing*
Ionas: Hm?
I check my phone, and see that the message is from Momo.
Ionas: Momo?
I open it and read it.
Ionas: (Momo's Message: Ion, remember our little deal? You know, when you revealed my plan to Nana and promised me to be my guard when needed? Well, I need your assistance. I will meet you after school close to the First Reference Room. I will explain then. Don't be late!) *Sarcastic* Great.*
It looks like in the end I will need to be her guard against that unwanted fan club of hers, after all. Wonder what she is planning and needs my presence, and after school no less.
Nana: *Playfully* I~on!
Ionas: Eh?
I look at the classroom's door, and see Nana there, smiling at me.
Ionas: *Smile* Nana!
Nana: *Smile* Wanna go for a walk?
Ionas: *Thumbs Up* You know me!
At least that will not get between my time with Nana during the free periods. So not that big of a deal.
~After School~
After the last bell rang, I went to where Momo wanted me to be. On my way, I saw the Principal, running and being covered in bandages. Wait, how in the world is he... You know what, nevermind, I'll just accept the fact they unfroze him, that he was alive even after that, and that for some reason still brought him back here. Anyway, when I am about to turn around the corner of the destination, Momo comes around that corner, and pushes me back, preventing me to proceed.
Ionas: *Annoyed* Hey, what the-?!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Shh! Not so loud!
She then looks from behind that corner, and I take a peek as well. I see Haruna going inside the First Reference Room, and almost closing the door behind her.
Momo: Follow me.
I walk along with Momo sneakily toward the room, and stop outside of its semi-closed door, with Momo taking a peek inside, and with me crouching behind her.
Ionas: So, what are you planning exactly this time?
Momo: *Smile* Haruna-San is tasked to make copies for the teacher, so I sent a letter to Rito-San, writing it's from her, so they can meet inside here, *D-Dial At Hand* and then lock them both inside by putting ivy on the door.
Ionas: *Mischievous Smile* Aah, I see what you're trying to do.
Momo that moment appears to daydream, as she drools a bit while in her perverted thoughts.
Ionas: *Serious* Hey, wake up, you fool!
Momo: *Snaps Out Of It* Ah. Right. *Wipes Drool Off Her Mouth*
This girl...
Ionas: *Cheeky* How inelegant of you.
Momo: *Annoyed* Oh, shut up.
Enjoying teasing her like that.
Ionas: Not sure if it's a good plan at all, but-
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Don't just call my plan a failure before it even starts!
Ionas: In any case, anything cliché that has to do with those two, *Thumbs Up* I approve.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Well, I guess the idea itself is pretty overused, but I still think it's a good one.
Ionas: Never said it's a bad one.
Momo: *Looks around us* That's weird. Rito-San should have been here by now.
Ionas: Do you think he didn't see your letter?
Momo: Hard to believe. I placed it in such a way, that there is no way he would miss it just like that.
Ionas: If nothing got in his way, he will come JUST in time.
That's how things usually go most of the time when it comes to such things in some anime series, as I know at least.
*At The Moment Nakajima And The Rest Of The VMC Are Approaching From Afar Through The Hallway, With Flags, Papers, And The Such*
Nakajima: *Smile* Today was great! We got to sing some more to our beloved Momo-Sama-
Sugimura: *Smile* And we got some new members too. I will agree with you, Nakajima. Today was great!
Nakajima notices from afar Momo close to the First Reference Room's door.
Nakajima: *Joy* Oh! It's Momo-Sa-! *Notices Ion right behind her*
Nakajima and the rest stop in shock, seeing Ion with their "beloved".
Sugimura: *Shocked* That guy...
Nakajima: *Shocked* Why is he... With our Momo-Sama? Wait... The way he is right behind her... And that room next to them... He could-
*Nakajima Imagines Ion Threatening And Forcing A Scared Momo Inside The Room, With Him Abusing Her In The Worst Possible Ways, Before Proceeding In A Highly Perverted Situation In There With Her*
Nakajima: *Upset* That demo~n!
Sugimura: *Sweat Drop* Calm down, Nakajima! You're the demon!
Nakajima: *Upset* Who says he is not actually like that, and plans to do just THAT to our Momo-Sama! We have to save her!
Sugimura: *Sweat Drop* Not that I don't get you, but you forget with who we are dealing here. Remember that time we tried to beat him up?
Nakajima: *Remembers Being Pounded Repeatedly Upon The Wall*
Sugimura: *Sweat Drop* Or what happened some days ago?
Nakajima: *Remembers The Shadow Ion Destroying The Town While Laughing Like A Madman* *Distressed* But we can't just let Momo-Sama at the hands of that-!
*Ion Hears People Arguing From Afar, And Takes A Peek Behind Him, Noticing The VMC members*
Oh, it looks like it was a good idea for Momo to call me after all. Her fan club seems to argue about something, not really trying to approach Momo, with me being most likely the reason. Lucky Momo.
Haruna: *From Inside The Room* Ok! I'm done. Now I just need to take these to Honekawa-Sensei.
Momo appears to be shocked seeing her finish already, and with Rito not being here yet. Haruna is approaching the door.
Ionas: *In A Hurry* Quickly, act natural!
Momo and I lean on the wall next to the door and pretend to chat about, just before Haruna comes out of the room and notice us.
Ionas: *To Momo* And he says, "a baseball bat!" *Chuckle*
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Umm...
Momo has understandably no idea about what I talk about.
Haruna: Oh, Momo-Chan, Ion, you're still in school?
Momo: *Smile* Ah, Haruna-San.
Ionas: *Smile* Well, well, didn't expect you to be here as well, Haruna. I was just telling Momo here one last joke of mine, to see her reaction while no one else is present for full results.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* R-Right! (A joke?)
Haruna: Really? *Curious* What's the joke.
Ionas: Depends. Do you like black humor? Also known as "cruel" humor?
Haruna: Oh... *Sweat Drop* Sorry, I don't.
Ionas: *Shrugs* Eh, it's ok.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* (He makes up stories so easily and naturally, that it scares me...)
Haruna: I'm sorry again, I have to get going. Need to give these papers to the teacher. See you both next time!
She says as she walks away with a small pile of papers.
Momo: *Waves Hand* Bye!
Ionas: See ya!
After walking a bit more, we stop and relax.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* I don't understand. Where is-?
Ionas: *Thinking* There is a possibility he got into trouble.* *Points At The VMC Members* You there!
The VMC members are startled by my sudden shouting at them.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* (Wait, how did I not notice them all this time?)
Ionas: Do you happen to have seen Yuuki Rito anywhere?
The VMC members hesitate. Not sure what to do.
Ionas: *Sigh* For crying out loud. *Serious* If not for me, at least answer for Momo! You can do that much, can you?
They seem to be somewhat hesitant again, till one decides to finally speak.
Sugimura: *Sweat Drop* Now that I recall, I think I saw that Rito guy close to the infirmary, and someone who looked a lot like that girl you just talked to, pretty much inviting him in. Does that help?
Momo: *Realization* ...
Ionas: *Realization* ...
We both realize what this could mean, as we are filled with worry. Momo and I begin to sprint toward the infirmary.
Ionas: *In A Hurry* Momo thanks you for your he~lp!
After reaching the place, Momo opens fast the door, revealing Mea in a kneeling position on a bed with her school shirt open, revealing her bare breast, and Rito at least two meters away against a closed window. They both take notice of us immediately. Momo was gasping from the sprinting.
Momo: *Gasping* I was worried it could be Nemesis... But it was you, Mea-San.
I was actually thinking the same. Somewhat surprising it was Mea instead.
Mea: *Smile* Momo-Chan, Ion-Senpai! You did well figuring-
Ionas: We actually asked someone, and told us pretty much that you two were here.
Momo: *Upset* That's beside the point! *To Mea* What do you think you're doing, after I went to all the trouble of setting the stage for Rito-San and Haruna-San?!
Rito: *Confused* Eh?
Mea: *To Momo* Nothing much.
[Mea explains her reasons, after parting from Nemesis, do the things she wants for herself without orders, specifically to feel the technique Rito used on Yami, that she liked him to begin with (*Sarcastic* Big Surprise.*), and that she plans to help with the harem plan in her own, unknown way.]
Rito and Momo were both surprised and confused after hearing that from her. As for me, I was only curious about the last bit. What's her "own" way exactly? That moment, Mea gets off the bed, and approaches me.
Mea: *Smile* Of course that doesn't mean I like you any less, Ion-Senpai. *Wink* So don't be too jealous about it.
Ionas: *Bored* Mea, you could pretty much "jump him" [The Sexual Meaning] right now, and I would still not give a f*ck.
Rito: *Surprised* *Blush* Eh- What?!
Mea: *Giggle* No need to be so apathetic now. I know that deep down, you care more than you show.
Ionas: *Serious* If you're referring to the "thank you" hug from the other day, it's not the same thing. Anyway, if we have nothing else to say, *Turns Around* we will take Rito, and head back ho-
Just as I was about to walk through the door, Mea grabs me by the arm, stopping me. I turn my head around, wondering.
Mea: Before that, I have a small favor to ask of you, Senpai.
A favor?
Ionas: And what's that?
Mea: *Smile* Can you... *Blush* Hug me like the last time?
Ionas: ... *Raises An Eyebrow* What?
Rito: Hug?
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Me-Mea-San, what are you asking Ion out of the blue?!
Mea: *To Ion* *Blush* That time you hugged me... I felt something I have never experienced before. It was a warmth like no other. I want to feel that warmth from the last time again...
Rito: Mea...
Ionas:...
What the f*ck? Is she serious with this now?! I mean, it's not the craziest thing she has ever said, but it's still really damn strange coming from her!
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Mea, why you think I will just-?
That moment, I notice Mea having a rather sad expression in her face, while looking at me straight in the eyes.
Mea: *Seemingly Saddened* I never asked you for something seriously before, Senpai. You will not just say no, right?
Ionas: ...
This whole situation... Really hits me in the feels!
Momo: (What is she even-? Ion will not accept such thing just like-)
Ionas: Can you at least cover your front?
Momo: Eh?
Mea: *To Ion* *Playfully* N~ope.
Ionas: *Uncomfortable* Oh boy... Fine. *Irritated* But you are asking for too much, just so you know.
She let's my arm, I turn around, and give her a hug. When I do that, her face seems to be blushing softly, and then with a smile she hugs me back. Rito seemed a bit confused by that, not sure how to see it as. As for Momo-
Momo: *Sweat Drop*I-Ion, why are you accepting so easily such thing?! I thought you disliked Mea!
Ionas: *Frustrated* *To Momo* Don't even think about making it look like that just because I hug her, that I like her that way too! It's just that I can't stand sad faces! Ok?! Leave me alone!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* (Wait, really? That's kinda unexpected to hear.)
Rito: ... Let's go, Momo.
Momo: Huh? Rito-San?
Rito: I don't quite understand, but it would be better to give them some space for now. *Sweat Drop* *Smile* I mean, the last few days must have been pretty stressful for both of them and-
Ionas: *Irritated* I know you are trying to help, but you really start making it sound weird, dude.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* R-Really? Sorry. Well, we'll go on without you. See you at home, Ion! *Walks out of the infirmary*
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Ri-Rito-San, wait!
With Momo running after Rito, Mea and I are now all alone inside the infirmary, still hugging each other. I look at her, and by the look on her face, see seems to really enjoy the hug, like some sort of cat, as she softly rubs her face onto my chest.
Ionas: *Uncomfortable* ...
Not mentioning her bare chest pressing onto me, this whole situation feels a lot more uncomfortable than when I hugged both her and Nana the other day, oddly enough.
Ionas: *Serious* Alright, Mea, I think that's enou-
Mea: *Holds Tighter*Just a little more, Senpai. This has a really wonderful feeling.
WAY too uncomfortable. At least I should say that I'm lucky she didn't try to do or say anything lewd so far.
Mea: You know, when I first came to be, I had no one to care for me. And when Neme-Chan-
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Neme-Chan?
Mea: *Smile* It's how I call Nemesis now, after-
Ionas: *Remembers* Ah, ok, ok, they told me about your "independence" at home. Continue.
Mea: As I was saying, when she appeared in my life, she taught me what I need to know to survive in the universe and the such... *Smile* And I am grateful to her for that, not denying it.
I wonder where this is going.
Mea: But other than that... Before I meet Nana and you... I have never known genuine affection really. The warmth of someone's hug. Or its meaning. *Smile* It's a nice feeling.
*Grunts On The Inside* Don't say such things to me! You are supposed to be the perverted, silly one, not the "brings you feels" one! You better not be doing it on purpose, or else shame on you!
Mea: *Smile* I mean, Nana's hugs are similar, but yours are a different story, Senpai. Maybe it's because I like you, like I said. *Blush* Maybe because you're someone I really want close to me...
So she really...
Ionas: ... Mea, I-
I turn my head around to look at the door fast. I see no movements, and no one in general. But just to be sure-
Mea: What is it, Sen-?
Ionas: Let's go a little farther.
Mea: Huh?
Carefully, I tighten my hugging grip around her, and lift her off the floor.
Mea: *Sweat Drop* *Blush* Wha-What are you doing, Senpai?
And then I walk, while holding her like that, farther into the room and close to a corner.
Ionas: Ok.
By saying that, I let her feet touch the floor again, while still holding her in my embrace.
Mea: *Confused* What was that about, Ion-Senpai?
Ionas: Can we break off the hug now, so you and I can talk normally, please?
Mea: ... Sure, I guess.
We unhand each other, she looks at me, and I look at her.
Ionas: Mea, I really appreciate the fact that you like me that way.
In a way at least.
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* But... The thing is... I...
Mea: *Smile* You only have feeling for Nana-Chan, right?
Ionas: ... *Raises An Eyebrow* Nana? Where did this-?
Mea: *Smile* No point trying to fake it, Senpai. Nana-Chan didn't notice it during that time we were inside your mind, cause she was too focused on releasing you. But I did. A glimpse of your true feelings was revealed just before you were set free, somewhere within the dark surrounding of your mind.
Ionas: *Shocked* ...
Mea: *Smile* Don't worry, I'm not gonna tell her. It's YOU who should do that. *Cheeky* When you have the courage that is.
Ionas: ...
Ok, THIS, is embarrassing.
Ionas: So, wait. *Raises An Eyebrow* All that you said just a moment ago, was just an act to ridicule me?
Mea: Oh, no. I was serious with all that.
Ionas: Oh... Well, sorry for not working out.
Mea: *Smile* You know, we can just do it like that harem thing Momo-
Ionas: *Serious* Yeah, not doing that.
Mea: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* Had to expect such a quick response from you, Ion-Senpai.* *Seductive* Still, that doesn't mean I can't change your mind if I try. You might actually like the idea one day, after all.
Ionas: *Rolls Eyes* Why don't you just annoy Rito with that? You said you like him too, right?
Mea: I can like you both.
Ionas: *Irritated* And just like that, you lost me.
Mea: *Smile* Oh my, are we greedy now, Senpai?
Ionas: *Annoyed* You're the greedy one! You bloody succubus!
Mea: *Giggle* Maybe you're right.
She is such a pain!
Mea: Well, I think it's about time to go. *Smile* It was nice talking with you, Senpai. *Wink* We should do this more often.
Ionas: *Bored* What am I? Your psychologist?
Mea: What is that?
Ionas: *Sigh* Nevermind.
After all that was over with, I left the school, and went on the way home. I seriously did not expect all that from Mea. Also, I hope this doesn't mean she will end up asking me for a hug every time from now on. God, I hope not. What would Nana think of me then?
~At The Rito's House~In Ion's Room~
Nana: *Upset* Ion! What was that Momo said?
Ionas: *Seemingly Confused* Umm...
After returning home, Nana made me sit down onto the floor of my room, with her standing in front of me. Apparently Momo told her about the "hugging situation" between Me and Mea.
Nana: *Annoyed* That's the second time I caught you hugging Mea! The first time, ok, I can understand you were overly emotional and wanted to thank her. But this time... *Upset* What is your excuse this time?!
Ionas: Well, for starters-
I explained everything that occured in the school infirmary, along with the fact that I completely rejected Mea. Nana was surprised with what she was hearing.
Nana: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* A-Are you for real with this? Mea said all that?
Ionas: Trust me, I have no reason to lie. This time.
Nana: *Blush* (What is Mea thinking?!)
Ionas: If I could, I would avoid the hugging at least.
Nana: *Annoyed* Why you didn't then?
Ionas: *Emotional* I couldn't say no to that sad face! It would feel like kicking a puppy. *Frustrated* It's so annoying feeling like this!
Nana: ... *Sigh* Seriously, you're way too sensitive recently, Ion. Were you always like this?
Ionas: *Rubs Head In Embarrassment*
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Well... I guess I can't really be mad at you for that.* *Irritated* Just please be more restrained when it comes to such things, you big softie.
Ionas: I will try. Sorry...Wait a minute. *Serious Staring* Even if I had a thing with Mea, for what reason are you even questioning such a thing out of the blue?
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Eh? *Blush* We-Well... (Oh no, what do I do? What do I say?!)
Ionas: *Serious Staring* Why did you ask about it, Nana?
Nana: *Sweat Drop* *Blush* I... I-It is obvious that I just wanted to know if my two best friends suddenly started d-dating! That's all! I have the right to know such thing, right?
Ionas: *Even More Serious Staring* Hmm...
Nana: *Sweat Dropping Like Crazy* (Please, don't look at me so intensely...)
Ionas: ... *Thinking* Well, I guess you're not wrong.* I mean, I would too want to know if two of my friends suddenly started dating. Make things clear, and such.
Nana: *Relieved* (Phew, thankfully he believed me. This is not the time to tell him how I feel. Now-)
~Later~At Nana's Room~
{Author's POV}
Nana was on her phone, talking with Mea.
Nana: *Upset* Mea, what the hell was that, with you and Ion at school?! Are you trying to take him for yourself?
Mea (On Phone): *Giggle* Don't worry, Nana-Chan, I'm not trying to steal him from you. I was just being honest. Although, I wouldn't say no to him if he decided to have a harem of his own. Would be fun!
Nana: *Blush* I-Ion is not like that, and you know it! In any case, he is mine! So don't just-
Mea (On Phone): Well, then you should try confessing to him.
Nana: *Blush* ... Tha-That...
Mea (On Phone): *Cheeky* If you can find the courage that is.
Nana: ...
Nana seems to be quite frustrated with the fact.
Mea (On Phone): *Amused* Seriously, your situation is so funny!
Nana: *Raises An Eyebrow* What do you mean with that?
Mea (On Phone): Oh, nothing. Anyway, need to close now. Just remember, do not be afraid. Ion IS yours. See ya!
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Wait, what you-?!
*Phone Call Ends*
Nana: *Looks At Her Phone Annoyed* Damn it! What she meant by that now?
Nana was walking around their space distortion main hall, concerned about Mea's behavior and more.
Nana: *Troubled* I know she said I shouldn't worry, but what if she tries to do anything weird to him? If not careful, she might end up changing him. And not in a good way. *Frustrated* Then there is the fact, that I'm still having trouble finding a way to confess my feelings to him! Why can't I just go in front of him, and simply tell him-?!
While walking around, and while close to Lala's open door, she notices inside small Lala reading a message on her big computer.
Nana: Huh?
She goes close, and sees what this is about.
Nana: *Joy* Aah~!
~During The Night~Somewhere In The Wasteland~
The black ant insectbot kept on walking, with the two big wheeled boxes following him from behind, on a rocky area of the wasteland.
A-H-R-1: (According to the coordinates, the place should be...)
He looks around, and spots a cave nearby.
A-H-R-1: (There.)
He approaches the cave, takes a look around, and then takes a peek inside, while outside.
A-H-R-1: (Nothing so far. Better be sure.)
The moment he says that, he presses a button onto his arm, and a green light goes around the area, and then inside of the cave. The scanner appears to have a long range, as it is seen covering a large part of the land.
A-H-R-1: (No humans around, no large, potentially dangerous animal or creature nearby, and no insectbot anywhere so far.)
He stops the scanning, and walks inside the cave along with the wheeled boxes. The cave is dark, but through his vision we see that he is able to see without problem thanks to a night vision mod he most likely has. After reaching the end of the cave, he takes a careful look around him.
A-H-R-1: (Seems there is really no one around. The special force team I was promised should have been here by now. Something must have occurred. No other way. I have to wait till they come, or till I receive new orders.)
The black insectbot starts unpacking the boxes of their content, and begins turning the cave slowly into a base.
~The Next Morning~
{Ion's POV}
I went along with Rito, Mikan, and Celine at the supermarket to buy a few things. Through our entire time there, I couldn't hide easily my amusement about the market's name.
*Outside Of The Super Vegeta Market*
As we were walking out, Mikan was holding Celine, who was sleeping, Rito was just walking beside us, and I was carrying all the bags while still chuckling at the market's name.
Ionas: *Amused Chuckling*
Mikan: *Sweat Drop* Seriously, I have no idea what you find so funny about the name.
Ionas: *Smile* Three words: Dragon Ball reference.
Mikan: Oh, is that a movie or something?
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* You don't know the anime?
Rito: It's an anime? Never heard of it.
Ionas: *Surprised Pikachu Face*
Ok, probably they don't have it here yet for some weird reason, but the fact still seems surprising.
Rito: Anyway, you don't have to carry all the bags for us. Give me one.
Ionas: Nah, I don't mind. You already do much to keep the house in order. I need to take a burden or two off your backs once in a while.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* O-Ok, if you have no-
?1: *Angry* HEY, WATCH IT, YOU!
?2: *Angry* HUH~?!
Ionas: Hm?
[WARNING! NECESSARY MANGA MOMENTS! EXPECT A LOT OF HEAVY SIMILARITIES, WITH SMALL DIFFERENCES!]
Me and the other two notice on our way two people facing from close up one another. The first one has Mohawk hairstyle, wears spiky shoulders, and pretty much looks like your stereotypical Mad Max punk. I think. The other guy wears black sunglasses, a bandana, and... Ok, I have no idea what that hair is supposed to be. I'm gonna call it "phallus hair", cause it looks like a forward d*ck. Bet he has a personality to match.
Delinquent 2: *Angry* YOU'RE THE ONE WHO BUMPED INTO ME FIRST, AH~!
Delinquent 1: *Angry* WHAT DID YOU SAY?! WANNA GO, HUH~!?
Looks like it's gonna turn into an actual fight soon.
Mikan: *Sweat Drop* Uwah~, some delinquents are fighting.
Ionas: *Sarcastic* You don't say?*
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Mikan, Ion, it's dangerous here, so let's go the other way.
Ionas: *Knuckle Cracking* You sure I can't just give them a few slaps and be done with it? Save the police the trouble.
Mikan: *Sweat Drop* Don't just pick fights with strangers!
While the other two kept screaming at each other, I notice a peculiar female figure approaching them.
?: Please, stop.
The two delinquents stop and look at her. She was wearing a white long dress of peculiar design, judging by the symbols on the waist mostly, and with hair pink and long, pretty much like Lala's. She was also wearing a pinkish veil obscuring her face which seems attached to a tiara, and in her hand she is holding a staff, with a heart symbol at its top.
Peculiar Woman: Fighting is an unproductive activity that will only make you hurt one another. If you would only look at the goodness in each of you, surely you would find a way to understand each other.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* *To Rito* Is that woman for real with-?
*Charmed By The Woman's Words, The Two Delinquents Look At Each Other And Decide To Stop Fighting*
Ionas: *Surprised* Wait, are you serious?!
They just stopped fighting?! And are even exchanging friendly remarks with each other?! What?! The woman starts to walk toward us. The people around seemed stunned seemingly by her beauty, as she was walking past them.
Rito: *Soft Blush* That person...
Mikan: *Soft Blush* S-She has a sparkling aura...
Ionas: *Confused* Eh?
Sparkling au- I SEE NOTHING OF THE SORT ON HER! After coming closer, she stops in front of us. Wait. She has pink hair, so maybe-
Peculiar Woman: I am pleased to meet you, Yuuki Rito-San, Yuuki Mikan-San, Dardani-
Ionas: Just call me Ion, and add nothing at the end, please.
Peculiar Woman: *Sweat Drop* Oh... Just Ion then. As I was saying, I am pleased to meet you all.
Ionas: Pleased to meet you too.
I notice Rito and Mikan blushing while looking at her, and not saying a word for some weird reason.
Ionas: *Snaps Fingers Repeatedly In Front Of Rito's Face*
Rito: *Snaps Out Of it* Oh. *Sweat Drop* *To The Woman* Um... Who are y-?
?: *Real Excited* MUHYOOOOO!
Everyone notices with surprise that moment THE Principal coming out of a corner at a distance, and running toward us.
Principal: *Real Excited* Even if you hide your face, I can sense your aura of transcended beauty! *Removes His Clothes In An Instant, Leaving Only His Boxers On* The god inside me is awakening and gushing forth! By all means, fair lady, please have a cup of tea with me!
Ionas: *Sigh* Of course. No worries, *Knuckle Cracking* I'll deal with-
Peculiar Woman: *To The Principal* Oh my, what a passionate person.
Excuse me, what?
Peculiar Woman: If only you would turn that passion toward the world, surely you would be able to dispel much sadness from it.
Like HE will listen to such-!
*The Principal's Expression Becomes Serious For A Moment, And Stops Immediately In His Tracks*
Ionas: Eh?
Principal: *Calm* I see... Even someone like me has things he can accomplish.
He says that as he goes back to pick up his clothes.
Ionas: *Shocked Beyond Belief* ...
Wait, that's illegal!
Principal: I have taken your kind words at heart, good lady. From now on, I will dedicate myself even to something like picking up trash.
He turns around, and walks away. Unbelievable...
Principal: *As He Walks Away* So, I bid you goodbye.
Rito and Mikan were just as surprised as I was. That woman... Ok, now I'm sure they are related, considering how crazy that display was, along with the pink hair that is. If she is not their mother, she is either their cousin, or surprisingly enough, their grandmother.
Mikan: *Realization* Wait, that pink hair... This person must be...
Lala: *Enthusiastic* Ehehe, corre~ct!
We notice small Lala, Peke, Nana and Momo approaching.
Lala: *Enthusiastic* That person... Is our Mama!
Ah-Ha! So the first one!
Rito: *Incredibly Surprised* Lala's... Mom?!
After saying that, both she and Nana run toward her, with smiles and open arms just before they hug her. So their mom, the queen of Deviluke, pretty much decided to come visit us, eh? Nice! But, also a bit... Stressing.
Ionas: *Rubs The Back Of His Neck Out Of Discomfort*
~Later At Rito's House~
We returned back home, accompanied by Zastin, and a great number of other Devilukeans in black suits. Apparently they were watching their queen all this time, without us noticing them before. Anyway, we went inside, with Zastin and the rest of the guards remaining outside of the house, surrounding it, and staying on guard for anything suspicious. Finally, we see Zastin actually doing his job! According to what we learned, the queen will stay for at least half a day with us, to check on Lala after she grew smaller. That's sweet of her. Also, I was always wondering how their mom looked like, you know, in case she was alive or still tied with her family at all. But as much as I like the fact of her being shown finally, I can't really stay calm with her around. Not that much at least. I pretty much meet for the first time the mother of the one I have feelings for. Of course I will feel nervous about it!
*Ion and the rest were all gathered in the living room, with the queen sitting on the armchair*
Sephie: My name is Sephie Michaela Deviluke. *To Rito And Mikan* Thank you for taking care of my daughters.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Ah, no. I should be the one to say thanks.
Sephie: I'm sorry. I really wanted to come meet you all much sooner, but-
Mikan: *Sweat Drop* No, no! It's ok, we understand that you're very busy.
Sephie: *To Lala* You seem to be doing well, Lala. I'm relieved.
Nana can be seen somewhat sneakily going beside her mom.
Lala: *Smile* Yeah! My power is returning a little bit at a time, so I'll be back to normal soon!
Nana then out of nowhere, hugs her mom from the side.
Nana: *Playful* Mother!
Sephie: Oh my. You're always such a pampered child, Nana.
Aww, the scene between them is so cute, that I can't not to smile. The queen then looks at Momo.
Sephie: Earth Clothing looks good on you, Momo.
Momo: *Smile* I'm happy to hear you say that, mother.
Nana: *To Sephie* *Annoyed* Oh, by the way, *Points At Rito* don't get close to that guy, he is a beast.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* H-Hey!
Ionas: *Amused Pfff*
Lala: Hey, Nana! That's rude to Rito who's been letting us stay here.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* But it's true, big sis. Besides, it'd be bad if Rito trips like usual and ends up seeing mother's face, wouldn't it?
Lala: *Thinking* Hmm~, I guess...
Ionas: Eh- *Raises An Eyebrow* Wait, why so?
Peke: Well-
*Peke explains about Charmians, and their ability*
Ionas: *Surprised* Darn! That's an awful ability!
So that's why the veil! Poor woman, must be really uncomfortable having to wear that wherever she goes because of that. Also a surprise she is not devilukean as well.
Peke: If we look at the origin of the prolonged great galactic war, one could say it started as an intergalactic quarrel over one Charmian.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* That changes the image of the great galactic war...
Ionas: *Thinking* That actually reminds me of the beautiful Helen from the story of Trojan War.
Nana: *Raises An Eyebrow* The what now?
Ionas: To put it in a few words, it's about a war that happened in the ancient times between two greek tribes for one woman, who was stated to be the most beautiful in the world. Well, the greek world. Though, a bit different than this whole great galactic war of yours, it is still somewhat similar. Ten years of war between those two... Lots of lives were lost, and a great city was burned... *Ashamed* Razed and destroyed by their own blood. For a nonsensical reason no less.
Sephie: Your people sound like they have had a lot of tragedies in the past.
Ionas: *Rolls Eyes* Oh, don't you even get me started with this...
Sephie: I myself have faced many dangers since my childhood due to this Charmian trait. And the one who saved me was Gid Lucione Deviluke.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Lala's father?
Ionas: That's oddly surprising considering... You know what, nevermind what I was about to say.
Better not insult her husband in front of her like that. You never know how that might backfire.
Mikan: *To Sephie* So that's why you hide your face.
Sephie: Yes. With the face hidden, the Charmian ability can be suppressed to a degree. *Seemingly Proud, Somehow* I'm glad my daughters did not inherit this trait of mine. Beauty is a sin.
Ok, but why do you sound like you're actually proud of it?
*The rest of the scene is about how come and she is not devilukean, and how Nana and Momo have their abilities due to the mix of both Devilukean and Charmian traits*
[WARNING! END OF NECESSARY MANGA MOMENTS! DO NOT EXPECT HEAVY SIMILARITIES! FOR NOW!]
After some minutes, Mikan decides to go prepare something for us to eat, with Momo going along to help her as well. I don't know why, but Momo appears to be somewhat distant from her mother so far for some reason. Maybe I'm overthinking this. Anyway, the queen was interested in the story I mentioned before, so I told her about it, skipping a few "not so important" details, so it will not drag on for that long.
Ionas: And that's pretty much all that happened. In the end, no one is sure nowadays what was the actual fate of Helen. We are talking about ancient history, after all.
Sephie: I see. *Somewhat Sad* What a tragedy that must have been. If only they sat down together from the beginning to discuss about it, they could avoid a lot of bloodshed.
Ionas: It would be a reasonable thing to do so. But we can't know what was the thing that brought that decision to start the war as soon as that offense happened. The most obvious could be that they were just searching for a reason to attack and plunder anyway. Or it could just be out of pride. There are a lot more theories about it, but I don't want to bore you with them.
Sephie: You sure seem to be quite knowledgeable about such things, Ion. Nana told me quite a lot about you, but never that really.
Nana: Eh?
Ionas: *To Sephie* *Curious* Really? Things like what?
Sephie: Well-
Nana: *Flustered* M-M-M-Mother!
{Author's POV}
Nana hugs her mom immediately, stopping her and drawing her attention.
Nana: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* *To Ion* Sh-She is obviously referring to when you went crazy, and almost destroyed the entire town. That's all! *Awkward Laughing*
Ionas: Oh... *Lowers Head In Instant Depression*
Sephie: Oh my.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Oh no, Ion!
Nana worried, goes close to him.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of it! *Hugs Him* I'm really sorry! (Of all the things I could think of!)
Momo: *Pops Head Out Of The Kitchen, And Looks At Nana Disappointed* *Sarcastic* Real smooth, Nana.*
Nana: *Upset* Shut up!
Momo: *Goes Fully In The Kitchen Again*
Sephie: ...
Sephie smiles from inside her veil, while watching Nana and Ion.
{Ion's POV}
Why she had to remind me... I can understand if she just wanted to tease me a bit, but that's just mean!
Sephie: I have also heard about all the times you saved my daughters' lives.
I lift my head, and look at her, remembering all my fights with the insectbots. I wonder if they-
Sephie: You were always putting your life in the line, so they can be safe. From the bottom of my heart, *Bows Head* I thank you for always being there to protect them.
Nana: Mother...
Ionas: *To Sephie* Ah, please don't bow your head for me. I was just doing my job as a friend. Anyone would do it.
Sephie: *Lifts Head* You're humble too.
Ionas: By the way, what have Lala and her sisters told you about those... Things that I face?
Sephie: If I remember correctly by what Momo told me, those things are supposed to be some kind of robots that look like various insects from the underground, that activate after some time on their own and cause trouble above.
*Nana realizes she is still hugging Ion, and removes herself from him, thinking that no one paid any real attention to her, and going beside her mother*
Sephie: They are supposedly there for a long time now, after an unknown organization was wiped out, who intended to use them to take over the planet. So far no one really knows where each is placed, and when the next ones will activate.
Ionas: ... You're very well informed.
Momo, that's some story you created there to cover the "empire" part to lessen, in a way, the danger. Good job actually!
Sephie: Hearing about it, I was a little concerned at the beginning. But after I heard about your deeds, that put me at ease.
Ionas: *Smile* As I said already, no big deal.
After that, we all talked about lots of different things. And I was a little less stressed, because her mom so far sees me in a positive way. Need to not screw things up. Better keep the language at strict lock down for now, so her view on me remains positive. Some time has passed, and the table was finally ready. We all sit down, and start to enjoy the food.
Sephie: *Takes A Bite From Her Plate* *Impressed* It's delicious.
Mikan: Momo-San has been giving me a hand recently, so it's a big help. *Smile* She was the one who made that, as well.
Sephie: *To Momo* That's impressive, Momo.
Momo: *Smile* Yeah, I guess.
Sephie: *To Lala And Nana* Are you two also helping out all the time?
When they hear that, Nana gets embarrassed while looking down, and Lala laughs it out. I like the way she laughs at that, as if saying "LOL no".
Sephie: Good grief...
Nana: *Sweat Drop* E-Even I-
Ionas: No you don't, you liar.
Nana: *Surprised* ... *Annoyed* Hey, what's the-?!
Ionas: *Serious Stare* That's for earlier. I hear nothing. *Continues To Eat*
Nana: *Troubled* Bu... Bu... *Lowers Her Head Sad, And Continues To Eat*
Ionas: *Looks At Her Again, And Feels Bad* ... *Apologetic* I'm sorry, Nana. Maybe I still feel a little bit mad from before. Didn't really mean to make you sad.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* No, no, it's ok! *Blush* *Awkward Smile* I kinda deserved that anyway. Sorry again.
Ionas: *Smile*
What the hell was that, you big dolt! And in front of her mother no less! And because of the veil on her face, I have no idea what face she might be making after seeing all that! I feel so awkward right now...
Sephie: *Smiles From Inside The Veil* (Aww, that was such a cute scene!)
~Some Time Later~
I don't know how come, but all the girls and the queen, with the exception of Celine, decided to have a bath together. And the biggest surprise, is that it will be inside Nana's cyber safari. Apparently it has an onsen, something like a japanese hot spring, installed inside. Seriously, that place pretty much has everything! You know, I never really had the chance to use a hot spring before. I wonder if Nana will let me use it if I ask her one day. I'll keep it in mind.
Ionas: *Stares*...
*Cyber Safari Portal In The Middle*
After returning from the bathroom, which took me a while for understandable reasons, I decided to lie down onto the couch, and watch some TV. But for reasons I can't quite understand, Nana seems to have placed the portal, which leads straight to her cyber safari, in the middle of the living room, in front of the f*cking TV! Maybe to make it easier for their mom, for safety reasons, don't know, it's still in the bloody way!
Ionas: *Sigh* ... *Thinking* Wonder if it would be bad to move it while they are inside.
At the moment, I notice Celine approaching the portal, stopping right in front of it, seemingly curious.
Celine: *Curious* Mau...?
Rito: *From Another Room* Celine! It's bedtime for the little ones, come he~re!
Celine doesn't pay attention to, or simply ignores Rito's voice.
Rito: *From Another Room* Celine?
I notice Rito approaching the living room.
Rito: Ion, have you seen-?
Ionas: Yeah, she is right over-
With a loud "MAU", Celine jumps inside the portal.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Celine!
Ionas: *Concerned* Sh*t! She will ruin their bonding time!
Rito: *Sweat Drop* She is supposed to be at bed already!
Ionas: *In A Hurry* On it!
Without a second thought, I jump inside the portal, and start running after Celine in the Cyber Safari. Must catch her before she causes any trouble.
Ionas: *Serious* Get back here!
While running after her at the green field, I noticed how fast she actually is. For someone with small legs, she is quite the runner!
Ionas: *Surprised* How in the world are you so fast with those little legs of yours?!
Celine: *Playfully* MAU~!
Ionas: *Sarcastic* I knew you will say that!* *Serious* But jokes aside, you're coming with me!
Not wanting to let this chase drag on for long, and to avoid any misunderstandings from occurring considering what the girls are doing here at the moment, I use my Adrenal Activation to get the desirable speed. As I get closer and closer, I extend one hand toward Celine to catch her, but when about to grab her, I trip onto something, fall, and start rolling down the hill.
Ionas: *Yelling While Rolling*
While rolling, I notice that I'm approaching dangerously something that looks like the end of a cliff. When about to fall off from that cliff, I bring out one of my forearm skeletal-blades, and plunge it onto the edge, stopping me just in time, hanging myself there just below the edge, and deactivate my Adrenal power as soon as I stop my fall.
Ionas: *Relieved* Phew! That was close.
And also, I completely lost her now.
Ionas: *Annoyed* Great.
Peke: *Sweat Drop* I-Ion?!
Ionas: Eh?
I look below at the rocky field, which is when I discover the cliff was not really as long as I thought, and see Peke along with the queen, who was still wearing her veil, and with only a towel covering her body.
Ionas: *Covers Eyes With Free Hand* Oh shi-shoot!
Am I that close to their onsen?!
Peke: *Sweat Drop* Wh-Why are you here?!
Ionas: *Still Covers Eyes* Celine went through the portal, so I ran after her to get her back! But I tripped on the way, and ended up here. I will be on my way, just please pretend you didn't see me, so-
Kremant: Leaving us so soon, Ion?
That f*cking voice! I uncover my eyes, and along with the queen and Peke, we notice Kremant standing behind them. Needless to say we were all surprised.
Kremant: *Grin* Now that's just rude toward your guests, don't you think so too?
Ionas: *Real Annoyed* You!
I retract the bone-blade back in my arm, and let myself fall down, landing onto my feet and in front of them.
Peke: *Shocked* Kr-Kr-Kr-Kr-Kr-!
Kremant: I think he broke, *Grin* better have Lala check Peke out after she finishes with her onsen time.
I have a REAL bad feeling about this!
Sephie: *Sweat Drop* Umm, excuse me, but who-
Kremant: Introductions! My favorite moments! Well, one of them, whatever! Hello, queenie. *Bows* My name is Kremant. *Big Grin* A pleasure.
The moment he says his name, the queen is filled with shock, clearly showing that she knows who he is.
Sephie: *Real Shocked* You... *Makes A Step Back* You are...
Kremant: Whoa, whoa, no need to worry about such thing. I'm not really planning to bring destruction any time soon again, relax.
Peke at the moment, with both his hands placed onto his head, is silently and seemingly freaking out. He may be a robot, but he sure has a lot of personality for one. That moment, Kremant moves incredibly fast, and puts his arm around the queen's shoulders, startling her.
Kremant: More importandly, a serious question for you, if you please.
Sephie: *Sweat Drop* U-Um...
Kremant: *Points At Ion* Do you see my good boy Ion over there?
What are you trying to do this time, you son of a-?
Sephie: *Sweat Drop* *Looks At Ion* Umm... Yes?
Kremant: Good.
With a fast movement of his hand, he snatches the veil off the queen's face, who was still looking at me, revealing her face in front of me. Her face fills with great shock when she realizes what happened.
Peke: *Shocked* Sephie-Sama!
Sephie: *Gasps In Shock* No!
She turns around to take the veil off his hands, with her towel falling down after taking both hands off it, but Kremant immediately jumps and flies away just before she reaches it.
Kremant: A little too late already, queenie. *Cheshire Grin* I'll let you deal with whatever happens- BYE~!
By saying that, he flies at incredible speed through the sky, till he dissappears from our view. Now he steals things too?! The queen looks at me, real worried.
Ionas: Ah, so that's how your face loo- *Realization* Oh wait, I was not supposed to- You know, I don't really feel anything yet, so I'll just cover my eyes for now again and- *Notices* Eh?
When I was about to cover my eyes with my hands, I notice that both of them are bright pink colored now. I then lift my shirt to look at my chest and belly, then look inside my pants, and I realize that EVERYTHING IS PINK!
Ionas: ... *Snaps With Anger* SON OF A F*CKING C*NTY B*TCH! WHY THE F*CK DOES ALL THIS F*CKING SH*T HAPPENS TO ME?! FORGET MY-!
*While Ion keeps on "tirading", and flailing his arms around in an angry manner, both Sephie and Peke look at him in shock*
Peke: *Sweat Drop* (This is bad. This is really, REALLY bad! Ion got a direct look at Sephie-Sama's face! And considering his unusual physiology, this might even turn into something even worse than we can imagine! He is already acting in a bizarre way!)
Ionas: *Continues On Tirading Angrily"
Sephie: *Incredibly Troubled* (I... I have to run! At this rate I'll definitely be...) *Flustered*
Ionas: *Still Angry* - With a goddamn-! *Notices*
I notice Peke coming fast at me, while holding someone's panties in his hands, seemingly attempting to put them at my face, with me stopping him by holding both his hands fast the last moment.
Ionas: *Confused* What in the-?
Peke: *To Sephie* *Alarmed* Sephie-Sama, escape while you can!
Sephie: *Sweat Drop* Th-Thank you, Peke!
With that, she grabs her towel, and runs away. Seriously why the f*ck is Peke acting so abnormal all of a sudden?!
Ionas: *Annoyed* Peke, explain yourself now, or I will deem you broken, and you'll be lucky if-!
Peke: *Sweat Drop* Wait, did you just say my name?
Ionas: *Sarcastic* No, I said that the weather is great.* *Annoyed* OF COURSE I DID, YOU BLOODY PIECE OF SCRAP METAL!
Peke relaxes and I let him go.
Peke: *Confused* But... I don't- You turned pink and started acting like an angry gorilla just a moment ago!
Ionas: *Annoyed* How would YOU feel if you suddenly noticed that you changed into a flamboyant color?!
Peke: Um-
Ionas: *Irritated* *Soft Facepalm* You know what, nevermind that. You would probably have no problem with such thing anyway. You're a robot.
Peke: (His conversation is coherent enough. Other than his skin color, the charm ability doesn't seem to have its usual effect on him. How is that even possible?!)
I just realized what he thought that happened to me. That attempt with the panties would be actually a good idea under normal circumstances. Well, THEIR kind of normal.
Peke: By the way, that "scrap metal" bit was just uncalled for.
Ionas: *Annoyed* Oh, don't you get offended on me now! You're the one who-!
Sephie: *From Afar* Kyaa~!
After hearing that, we look and notice the queen coming running on our way, while being chased by a f*ck-ton of animals, who seem to be acting, well, like animals.
Ionas: *Surprised* Her charm works even on animals?!
Peke: *Sweat Drop* Yes.
Sephie: *To The Animals Behind* Keep away!
This is not gonna turn well.
Ionas: *Alarmed* Queen!
The queen looks at me, and startled she stops.
Ionas: *Surprised* Why the hell are you stopping?! Quick, get behind me!
Sephie: *Distressed* N-No!
What?!
Sephie: *Distressed* If I come close, you will push me down and XXXX or XXXX, for sure!
Ionas: *Surprised* God! And then they say that "I" have a dirty mouth!
Seeing the animals approaching, and that she doesn't have the brains to keep on running at least, I use my Adrenal Activation, point my arms toward the approaching animals, who now move slower in my eyes, and use my bones to create and extend at them two bone-vines. I quickly move them around and stick the bone-vines together in such a way, that I create a huge cage with them, which I pin down onto the ground and around them. The animals try to force their way out, but they can't break through it. That will hold them in place, for now. I deactivate my Adrenal power, and see how the queen looks at the whole scene with surprise.
Ionas: Not mentioning my ridiculous color, I'm pretty much unaffected by your ability. *Serious* In any case, you need to make a choice. Trust ME, so I can give you the safety I try to offer, or simply face the one-thousand LITERAL animals in heat that are right behind you, who show to be MORE than willing to have their way with you!
After saying that to her, she starts to look back and forth, trying to decide.
Ionas: *Facepalm* *Frustrated* Ok, you've got to be kidding me with this.
Is she seriously thinking about it?! She looks one last time at me.
Sephie: *Troubled* Ar-Are you sure that you don't feel anything at all after seeing my beautiful-?
Ionas: *Annoyed* Yes, I'm very sure about it, you pompous dolt! Now can we please move? The cage will hold them only for THAT long.
Sephie: *Troubled* W-Well...
Ionas: *Real Annoyed* Aah~, I'll take them in the skull~. [Greek expression for when the one saying it really starts to lose his/her patience and temper.] Alright, that's it.
Not wanting to wait any longer for her decision, I use the bones on my back to make a big squared container, and then extend from my hand a bone-vine at her, grabbing her by the waist, startling her by that way, and then moving her and placing her fast inside the said container.
Ionas: And with that, we finally run!
I start to run as soon as I say that, carrying the queen pretty much on my back, and with Peke following us flying from behind. While running, I notice to the side and on our way in front of us some big tentacles emerging from the edge of land above. Knowing very well what to expect, I aim with both my arms while running at the emerging figure, while making two big bone-balls come out of my forearms.
Peke: *Notices* Ion, Sephie-Sama, abov-!
The exact moment I see the giant squid about to fully come out to ambush us, I start shooting at it with multiple big bone-balls, hitting it, and pushing it away toward the air by that way. As soon as I force it to go far enough, I stop shooting, letting it fall down onto the ground away, and alive, while I keep on running.
Ionas: *Supposedly To The Squid* *Cheeky* No fanservice for you this time!
Peke: *Sweat Drop* That was a good reaction. Didn't know you can make bigger projectiles.
Ionas: And that's why I experiment while in training, my friend. Now, go find the others and bring them to where we go. They should be wondering by now what happened with the queen.
Peke: Right away!
With that, Peke flies away, to where the others are supposed to be. I look at the queen behind me, and see the confusion and worry in her face. Better try to calm her down.
Ionas: No need to worry, queen.
She looks at me straight in the eyes.
Ionas: *Smile* I'll get you to safety before you can even name every letter from the greek alphabet. *Cheeky* And trust me, you will not.*
Sephie: ... (Those unwavering eyes... Just like..)
After some time of running around for a good hidding spot, I decided to stop close to a really steamy hot spring. We have the big rock side beside us, and the thick steam around the area, so it should be enough for now. I crouch down, and absorb the bone-container back in my skeleton, carefully setting down the queen by that way. When I'm done with that, I sit down normally as well.
Ionas: Ok, we should be fine here for a little while. Let's hope the others come soon, so we can ensure your safety further.
Sephie: *Sweat Drop* Y-Yes.
Ionas: Unbelievable though, isn't it?
Sephie: Eh?
Ionas: You came all the way here from who knows how far, having the chance to finally spend some time with your daughters, and then suddenly, all this happens. In your place, I would be very mad about it. I'm sorry you had to go through all that, *Real Annoyed* because of that annoying ghost's antics!
Sephie: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* I-It's ok. At least nothing bad happened in the end.
Ionas: Thank god for that.
Sephie: *Stares*
I notice that the queen is staring at me straight in the eyes with quite an intense gaze.
Ionas: Is something the mat-?
Sephie: *Smile* The charm's power really has no effect on you.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Of course it does. Can't you see the flamboyant pink color all over me?
Sephie: *Smile* Maybe, but even now you still don't try to attack me. What I'm trying to say here is, that you possess a strong unshakeable conviction. Your goals are in a way similar, as both of you try with your own way to protect the peace for your own reasons, ready to fight for it without hesitation... You resemble my husband quite a bit at this.
Ionas: ...
Me? Similar with the pervy king? I would take that as an insult if I didn't know how much of a nice of a person she is.
Ionas: I'll take that as a compliment. *Somewhat Awkward* But considering what a lecher your husband can be at times as I heard... Well...
Sephie: *Sigh* I can agree with you on that. *Sweat Drop* *Smile* But if you get past that, he is not really that bad of a guy.
Ionas: You married him, so I'll believe you.
If only in a way. Can't say till I meet him myself, after all. I know about him only THAT much from the anime.
Sephie: You have a good heart, and you're a person who tries his best to protect those who need you and care in general about their well-being. I see now that it's true. Just like Nana told me.
One of the reasons I love her. When you don't expect it, she can say the nicest things about you.
Ionas: *Makes A Big Smile Without Realizing*
Sephie: ... *Smile* (Ok, with that, it is assured.) I can understand why my- *Realizes And Shakes Head* Nevermind that.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Hm?
Sephie: (Better respect her wishes, and not tell him about how she feels.) *Smile* You know, I have come to realize something, Ion.
Realize something?
Ionas: What exactly?
Sephie: You have spent quite some time with my daughter Nana so far. You help her, you compliment her at times with the best comments as I hear, and even comfort her when needed.
Oh. I think I know what she-
Sephie: You even give her gifts. There are also some times that she wonders if she should nickname you... *Thinking* "Hugging bear" she called it?
Hugging bear? I don't hug that mu-!
Sephie: In other words, you show much more affection than a normal person would. Don't you think so too?
I do? Oh boy, I didn't even realize most of those!
Sephie: You do realize what I'm trying to say. *Smile* Right? Ion?
Ionas: ...
~Meanwhile~
{Author's POV}
After Nana and the rest saw Celine coming to their onsen, and the fact that Sephie was still nowhere to be seen, they started to worry about what is going on. Then is when they saw Peke coming on their way as well, telling them hastily that the queen escaped somewhere in the onsen area farther, to avoid the animals that saw her face, forgetting to mention that Ion is with her too, somehow. Everyone were surprised, and their worry only grew considering her trait. They started running to where Peke is leading them to.
Nana: *Annoyed* I can't believe this! I clearly told the animals to not come close to the onsen while we are here! They are gonna hear it once-
Mikan: *Notices* Everyone, look!
Mikan points to the side, where everyone sees a big white cage around lots of animals, which they still try to break through like crazy because of the charm's effect.
Lala: Are those the animals you were talking about, Peke?
Peke: Yes.
Momo: But why are they-? *Notices* Wait... *Sweat Drop* Those bars on the cage resemble...
Everyone else looks at the cage carefully, and notice that it is actually made by Ion's bone-power.
Nana: That's Ion's... *Realization* He is here too?!
Peke: He is. (How did I forget to mention that?)
Momo: *Real Concerned* Y-You don't think he saw...
Nana: That would mean- *Imagines A Really Intense Sexy Scene Between Him And Her Mother* *Incredibly Concerned* Oh no...!* But wait, what if instead- *Thinks About Ion's Randomness In Effects, And Imagines Him Doing Something Incredibly Unthinkable* *Horrified Silent Screeching*
Peke: (I should probably tell them about Ion's involvement, and his immunity to Sephie-Sama's Charm power.) About-
Nana: *Really Distressed* Mother is in grave danger! We must hurry!
Nana starts to run like crazy to where Sephie and Ion are supposed to be, with the rest running after her a second later.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Nana, wait up! (Let's hope nothing bad actually happened to mother!)
~At Ion's And Sephie's Location~
{Ion's POV}
I was shocked, even though I was not showing it on the outside, by what the queen was trying to say. I must try to somehow show her that's not the case, or else it might spell trouble for me in one way or another.
Ionas: Oh... *Shakes Head And Smiles* Oh-no, no, no, queen, you misunderstand. What I do is simply help "equally" my friends when in need. It's nothing like I really-
Sephie: That's not what I see in your actions, though. I'm a mother, but I'm also a woman who has seen a lot through the years, especially considering what my work as queen is. I know at least that much.
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* ...
Sephie: *Smile* You love her. Don't you, Ion?
Ionas: *Real Troubled* ...
Not being able for once to find a good lie to tell, and also not able to deny the fact, I collapse completely down, with my head ending up onto the queen's lap.
Sephie: *Startled* Eh?
Ionas: *Teary Eyes* *Somewhat Fast* It's true I love her so much that it pains me! I want to tell her but I don't know how to approach her without knowing how she feels about me first! What if I end up embarrassing myself in front of her like a real idiot? What if she just prefers me as only a close friend after everything that happened? I feel so sick thinking about it that I want to scream till my lungs explode! *Keeps On Blubbering*
Sephie: *Surprised* (Oh my... The conviction I saw earlier was like my husband's, but... Ion is so much more sensitive than he is...) *Smile* (A big softie indeed, Nana.)
Nana: *From Afar* Are you definitely sure they went that way?
Peke: *From Afar* No mistaking.
Lala: *From Afar* Hope Mama and Ion are ok.
Hearing them coming, and remembering where we are, I stop my blubber, lift my upper half off her lap, and use my bone-power to completely cover my eyes.
Sephie: *Confused* Why did you-?
Ionas: Safety first. *Somewhat Troubled* Also I beg you to say nothing about-
Before I finish that sentence, I hear the rest turning around the rocky side, finding us both.
Nana: Ah, I see them! Nothing seems to have happened. *Relieved* What a relief...
They must have not see me clearly yet due to the thick steam around us. They come closer.
Nana: Mother, Ion, are you-
*Everyone Notices Ion's Pink Colored Skin And Strange Eyewear, And Look At Him Confused*
Nana: *Real Confused* Why are you pink?!
Ionas: *Irritated* Your mother's face.
Nana: Oh, I see- *Sweat Drop* You looked into mother's face and you are still sane?!
Ionas: Yeah, pretty much.
Peke: Surprisingly enough, other than his skin color, he still has his reasoning after looking into Sephie-Sama's face.
Momo: *Surprised* Seriously?!
Lala: *Amazed* Wow, that's amazing!
Ionas: Well, I would say the true reason is the random effect on my unique DNA, but whatever.
Mikan: *Relieved* I'm glad that nothing bad happened this time.
Nana: Ok, I can understand that with the color. *Sweat Drop* But on your eyes... What's with th-?
Ionas: Depends. Are you all still naked?
Nana: Eh? *Blush* Um...
Everyone looks at each other, realizing that they forgot their towels back in the other onsen, due to them being in a hurry.
Nana: *Blush* ...
The silence gives you away.
Ionas: I bloody knew it. *Points At A Random Direction, Totally Missing Them* Perverts!
Nana: *Flustered* W-We are so not!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Also, we are not where you point at.
Ionas: ...
I just ridiculed myself.
Mikan: So, how did all this-?
Ionas: Kremant.
Nana: *Real Annoyed* Oh come on with this! Even at days like-?!
Rito: *Somewhere Above* Celine, Ion, are you somewhere down there?
Is that Rito I hear?! The others look up, and notice close to the edge of the surface above Rito, who is looking down right at us. I hope the steam is still thick enough to cover us, else I see him being slapped by Nana soon for obvious reasons.
Ionas: *Annoyed* Rito, what the hell are you doing here?! I told you I was "on it", didn't I?
Rito: *Can't See Them Clearly Through The Onsen Steam* I got worried cause it was taking you too long to come back. Did you find Ce-?
*A Sudden Wind Pushes Most Of The Steam Away, Revealing Everyone Below*
Was that a wind I felt just now?
Rito: *Flustered* Ah-!
Ionas: *Realization* Oh.
I decide to take a small peek through one of my eye covers, and see that Rito is looking straight at the queen's face. His face looks quite red, but I bet it's mostly by the fact that everyone but me and the queen are butt-naked. Still, he looked at her face, so everyone are quite shocked by the fact. I wonder if it will affect him in any way.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Oh no, Rito-San looked at mother's face!
Peke: *Alarmed* Got it!
Peke flies fast toward Rito, holding in his hands in front of him the panties from before, and forces them onto Ritos head and face, holding him in place. Wait, why he still has those?
Nana: *Flustered* Ah-! Wait, those are my panties you are using?! *Runs Toward Them* Why do you even-?!
Ok, I bet that wind was Kremant's doing. That sneaky piece of-
*At the moment, Kremant appears to be at a distance on top of a rocky surface, looking at the scene with a grin on his "face", and still holding the stolen veil in his hands*
Kremant: *Satisfied* Aah, that was so much fun to watch.
*He teleports the veil close to the queen, who at the moment is focused at the scene above her*
Kremant: Wonder what the next day has in store. *Evil Chuckling*
~Later That Night~
In the end, it looks like that Rito is pretty much unaffected by the Charm's power, somehow. Good for him! As for me, I'm still pink, unfortunately. Hope the effect goes away soon. Anyway, we were at the living room, and after some time has passed, Zastin comes inside the house.
Zastin: Sephie-Sama, your transportation to the mothership has arrived.
Sephie: Thank you, Zastin.
Nana: *Sad* Are you going back home already, mother?
Sephie: We can still talk long distance. I'll make some more time to come visit again. I too, have taken a liking to this town. *To Lala* Lala, make sure to not overexert yourself until you return to your normal body.
Lala: *Smile* OK!
Rito: *To Sephie* *Sweat Drop* I'm really sorry for earlier.
Sephie: Oh, don't worry about it. It was good to know there are humans that can withstand my beautiful face.
There we go with the narcissism again. Must be doing it on purpose at this point. Whatever. I approach the queen, and give her a handshake.
Ionas: *Smile* Queen, it was nice to meet you. Come back whenever you like. Let's just hope your next visit will have no ghosts in it to ruin it.
Sephie: *Sweat Drop* It was not that bad rea-
Zastin: *Raises An Eyebrow* Wait, what are you talking about?
Ionas: The queen will explain on the ship. *To Sephie* Oh, and before I forget-
I take from behind of my back a big white vase with engraved figures all around it, and extend it toward her.
Ionas: This is an Ancient Greek-Style vase that I made during my free time tonight, which depicts your arrival, your expected leave, and every moment that happened during that time and in between. *Goes Close To Whisper* Without the embarrassing and/or unwanted moments that is.
She takes the vase in her hands and looks at it carefully.
Sephie: *Amazed* Such detail... Is that from your famous bone-power I heard so much about?
Ionas: *Smiles With Pride* Yep.
Sephie: *Amazed* It's amazing! I will keep it somewhere special, to look at it every day. Thank you for your gift, Ion.
Ionas: Glad you like it.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Wait, where were you keeping that?
Ionas: I was using my bones to keep it in place safely on my back, obviously.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Oh, right. (Seriously, his power is WAY too convenient!)
After being farewelled by everyone, the queen goes past the door, but then stops.
Sephie: Nana, can you come here for a moment?
Nana: Eh? Yeah.
Nana goes close to her mom. I wonder what she wants to tell her.
Nana: What is it, mother?
Sephie: Ion is a great guy indeed. I see now you were not exaggerating.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Ah-! *Blush* Mother, not so loud!
Sephie: *Smile* You're lucky to have found him. I approve of him.
Nana: ... *Blushes And Smiles*
Sephie: Oh, and one more thing.
The queen brings her head a little closer to her.
Sephie: Do not be afraid to express your true feelings to him. The sooner you do so, the better, I say.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* That... *Rubs Head In Embarrassment* That's easier said than done...
Sephie: *Smile* Trust me, you don't have a thing to worry about. Come here.
I see her mom inviting her into a hug, and after a moment, Nana goes straight to it happily. Aww, that is still so cute to watch. But, I wonder what are they talking about there. When they break the hug, they wave at each other, and the queen leaves along with her guards, and with the spaceship away to the space, where the mothership supposedly awaits.
Ionas: ...
That must have been, my most awkward moment so far. I broke down, and pretty much started with... And right onto her to make things worse- *Grunts In Great Annoyance On The Inside* I can't believe myself back there! That was more embarrassing, than when I became f*cking real white and sissy-like!
Ionas: *Weary-Like* Guys, I'm going to bed early. I feel really tired suddenly.
Without saying anything else, I go up to my room to lie down. I'll be lucky if her mom didn't view any of that negatively.
*Meanwhile, after the queen of Deviluke and her fleet officially left from the Solar System, five small meteor-like objects can be seen approaching Earth, with ominous intent*
~At The Wasteland~Still Night~
{Author's POV}
The black ant insectbot was now sitting inside the cave, which now is modified and officially classified as a technologically advanced secret base.
*Powerful Crushing Impact Outside*
A-H-R-1: Hm?
He takes a look at the big radar to the side, and sees five distinct signatures just outside of the cave's entrance.
A-H-R-1: They are here.
The black insectbot gets up, and turns his attention toward the hallway which is connected to the main entrance, expecting them. Footsteps can be heard, as the five enter the base.
?1: *From Afar* *Annoyed* Was about time with this.
?2: *From Afar* *Enthusiastic* It was so tempting to blow the scrap out of them!
?3: *From Afar* Think positive. It could have taken them longer to leave.
?1: *From Afar* *Irritated* Whatever.
After a small delay, they are finally past the hallway, entering the main room, and showing themselves.
The first one: Is Wasp-Type, yellow-black colored, female in form and face, and approximately 2.50 meters height. She looks strong builded, but seems quite bossy judging by the mean look on her face.
The second one: Is Beetle-Type, but somewhat different than his normal variant, being bigger and somewhat fatter in comparison, and black in color, with yellow spots all over his body. He seems like quite the smiler. His height is approximately 3.20 meters.
The third one: Is Dragonfly-Type, blue and green colored, female in form and face, thin in build, and with two quite big compound multicolored eyes on the sides of her head. She seems quite normal for now. Her height is approximately 2.00 meters.
The fourth one: Is Grasshopper-Type, dark-green colored, average in build. He seems too average in general actually, but judging by his face he looks like quite a rando in character. His height is approximately 2.20 meters.
And Lastly, the fifth one: Is Termite-Type, sand-yellow colored, really small in size in comparison to most insectbots so far, and crooked for some unknown reason. Probably just the insectbot's design. He is approximately 1.00 meters. He seems like the shy individuals, as he is seen hiding behind of the large beetle one's leg.
Wasp-Type Insectbot: So, you're the ex-captain, huh? Not really much to look at with that size of yours, but if the emperor says you're his finest creation, then I don't really have a say in this, do I?
The ant insectbot keep his composure, and just waits there.
Wasp-Type Insectbot: (Not much of a talker it seems.) Anyway, we would have come sooner, but the queen of Deviluke decided to visit the planet, and we were ordered to wait till she is gone, as to not risk revealing our existence to them.
A-H-R-1: (That explains why they were late. Understandable.)
Wasp-Type Insectbot: I'm Y-J-W-R-15. Think of me as the second in command, in case you end up in the scrapyard. Which might be soon. I'm a close combat expert, so I like going melee when it comes to fights, obviously. Got stingers back, AND forth. *Medium-Sized Stinger-Like Blades Come Out Above Of her Wrists That Moment* Just so you know.
A-H-R-1: I see.
Y-J-W-R-15: The big guy with the creepy smile beside me, is B-B-R-25.
B-B-R-25: *Enthusiastic* I like blowing stuff up!
Y-J-W-R-15: And he takes WAY too much joy from it. Not sure why. Other than that, he is capable of making a great variety of explosives. Be it the simple explosive ones, fire or highly toxic ones, HE can make them. And he will always look forward to use them onto something.
B-B-R-25: *To A-H-R-1* *Enthusiastic* Humans, buildings, pets, chemical toilets, NAME IT!
Y-J-W-R-15: And~, moving on to this thin little lady. Her name D-F-R-35.
D-F-R-35: *Somewhat Annoyed* Couldn't give me a better introduction, could you? *To A-H-R-1* *Smile* Hello, nice to meet you.
She offers a handshake to the ant insectbot, and he shakes her hand as a response.
A-H-R-1: Good to have you, soldier.
Y-J-W-R-15: She might be like that, but those eyes of hers can notice even the slightest movement in an incredibly long range. No surprise she uses a sniper rifle as weapon of choice.
D-F-R-35: *Turns Around To Show The Big Sniper Rifle On Her Back* *To A-H-R-1* Give me a target, and he is down in an instant.
Y-J-W-R-15: Now, the green boy over there is G-H-R-45. He-
G-H-R-45: *Happily* Jump good!
Y-J-W-R-15: ... That. Also he has a modified shotgun rifle, with four barrels.
G-H-R-45: *Takes Said Rifle Off His Back To Show*
Y-J-W-R-15: He is quite risky when it comes to battles, but he has shown good results in his latest simulations.
A-H-R-1: Good.
Y-J-W-R-15: And finally- *Notices The Smallest Of The Group Still Hiding Behind Of B-B-R-25* Wha- *Annoyed* Stop hiding and come here so I can introduce you!
The small one comes out almost immediately, and runs close to the Wasp-Like insectbot.
Y-J-W-R-15: There is no threat for miles, you small scrap! *To A-H-R-1* This one is T-R-74.
T-R-74: H-Hi.
Y-J-W-R-15: He is not much of a fighter himself, but as an engineer he is able to make lots of different machines, maintain our equipment, repair almost any damage, and also make us new weapons and armor if needed. He is a low class as engineer, but still good enough.
T-R-74: If you need anything, just tell me and I'll make it.
A-H-R-1: I'll keep it in mind, engineer.
Y-J-W-R-15: And that's all the team. Hopefully you won't screw this up with us under your command. Don't get me wrong, we all want to win as much as you do. Make our emperor proud, get an extra rank-
B-B-R-25: *Enthusiastic* And enjoy it while doing so!
Y-J-W-R-15: So, what do you think, S.F.T. Commander? [S.F.T: SPECIAL FORCE TEAM]
A-H-R-1: I think... That we have what it takes to win. Come on now, we have much to discuss, and a lot of preparations to do. This is not going to be as easy as it looks. *Serious* Trust me on that.
~The Next Day~At Rito's Dad Apartment~
Rito was tasked to bring some art supplies his dad asked for today, so Ion went with him, in order to keep an eye out for the possibility of insectbots appearing, and to keep him company, of course. They brought the supplies to his dad, and were already on the way for home. Also Ion's skin was back to normal from the last day's charming incident.
Ionas: So, what you gonna do once home?
Rito: I was thinking of pulling some weeds from the yard. You know, make it look better.
Ionas: Ah, I see. I'll give you a hand too with that then. Give you some more free time for other things.
Rito: *Smile* Oh, sure. Thanks, Ion.
Ionas: No problem. *Thinking* You know, now that I think about it... I could decorate your yard with my Skeletal Constructs. You know, make it more beautiful. Nothing too flashy, *Excitement Rising* but still good enough to make your skin shiver from-!
Rito: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* Y-You don't really have to- *Notices Above A Small Building Something* Huh?
Ionas: Hm? What's up?
Ion looks where Rito was looking at, and sees Nemesis enjoying a stick of dango, and having two cats as company.
Nemesis: *Smile* Hey~! It's been a while, my servant. *To Ion* And of course, we can't forget about the great destroyer of towns, the merciless killer of thousands! *Cheeky* How you doing, Ion?
Ionas: *Frustration* ... (She likes to hit people where it hurts. I'll hit her literally if she tries that again with me! ONE CHANCE, IS ALL I F*CKING GIVE!)
Rito: *Sweat Drop* N-Nemesis! A-Are you still here in this town?!
Nemesis: *Raises An Eyebrow* What's with that reaction?
Nemesis jumps and lands down, and then approaches them.
Nemesis: How cold of you. Now that Mea and I have parted, you're my one and only beloved servant, right? *Smile* You're my possesion. Look happier about it.
Rito was quite troubled by that.
Ionas: (Maybe I should-)
Nemesis: *Gets Her Face Closer To Rito's* So, let me bring my face closer and-
She looks like she is going for a kiss.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Wai- What are y-?
Ionas: *Serious* (Yeah, not letting her do that.)
Ion goes close and is about to grab and push her away, when suddenly a strange smoke hits both him and Rito, startling them and making them back away a bit. Nemesis appears to hold the item that caused the sudden smoke.
Ionas: *Cough* *Cough*
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Wh-What happened?!
Nemesis: *Laugh* Don't worry. It's a Gigantification Gas I got from a smuggling Organization I destroyed out of boredom the other day, and wanted to use it on you to test how effective it is.
Ionas: *Surprised* It is a what?!
Nemesis then explains to them fast about where it was developed, its use to make people into giants, and how their reign came to an end thanks to Deviluke.
Nemesis: *Enthusiastically* Now, show me the legendary power of giants!
Rito is enveloped in light, and after a short screaming, he ends up turning... Into a literal baby.
Nemesis: *Sweat Drop* Huh? You shrunk? Or rather, grew younger?
Ionas: *Real Surprised* He turned into a bloody baby?!
Nemesis: So this means it doesn't fit well with earthling constitution, and leads to irregular results... *To Ion* Wait, what about you?
Ionas: (Oh right, I was hit by the gas too!) *Checking Himself Around For Anything Unusual* ... You know, I actually don't feel a-
*Ion Sneezes Instantly, And So Powerfully That He Is Launced Away And High Into The Sky, Disappearing From Sight After Only Two Seconds*
Nemesis: Oh... So, it gives him a super sneezing. *Amused* Neat.
Baby Rito: *Cute Baby Noises*
Nemesis: Oh right, you. *Crouches Down, Close To Him* Now, what to do with you?
~Some Time Later~
[Skipping To The Moment After Baby Rito's Small Adventure, The Slap From Yui After He Goes Back To Normal, And After Nana And Lala Come To The Living Room, Carrying Two Big Wild Boar Babies To Show Them To Everyone.]
Nana: *Looks Around The Room* So, where is Ion? Need to see these two as well. *Smile* Bet he will get crazy the moment he looks at them!
Mikan: Oh right.*To Rito* Ion went with you, didn't he, Rito?
Rito: Eh? Yeah.
Mikan: Where-?
TV: Βreaking news!
The TV draws everyone's attention.
TV: A strange object has been sighted flying at high speed around the globe. Here is a video that was taken from somewhere in Japan during the object's passing. *The Video Shows Ion Flying Fast Backward*
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Wait, is that-?!
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Oh boy...
Momo: *Sweat Drop* *Remembers Nemesis Telling Her About What Happened To Ion* ... (I totally forgot about him!)
Nana: *Alarmed* B-Big sis, the ship! Hurry!
Lala: *Sweat Drop* Right! Let's go get Ion!
~Meanwhile~Somewhere Above A Sea~
Ion was still flying non-stop around the globe, not able to stop himself.
Ionas: *Incredibly Frustrated* FU~ *Sneezes And Pushes Himself Farther Away While On Air* YOU~!
Ionas: WAIT TILL I GET MY F*CKING HANDS ONTO THAT SHORTSTACK! I WILL-!
Nana: I-Ion, calm down! This is not the place to-!
Ionas: DON'T YOU BLOODY DARE STOP ME! THAT B*TCH IS ASKING FOR A GOOD AS-!
Nana: WAI-WAIT! N-Next time on To Love-Ru: Date, Violence, And Helpless!
Ionas: I WILL-!
