To Love-Ru Shadow

by Kremant

Many things happened on this world. And a lot more will happen. Soon, a human will find himself in a world where he was never expected to go. In a world, where nothing is always normal. In a world... Different than the one he used to live. How things will go now, that he is going to be a part of this strange world? Well, let's see... Rated M for VIOLENCE, and some Ecchi moments.

29. TLRS-Ep 28-The Reshaped Trick

~At School~

{Ion's POV}

I went together with Nana to meet Yui this morning, who thankfully was much better today, and after a small explanation, and some paperwork at the teachers' office-

Yui: *Smile* And with that, I'm happy to say that starting from tomorrow, you're officially members of the Disciplinary Committee! Glad to have you both.

Nana: *Excited* Great, I can't wait!

Ionas: *Smile* ...

That's right, we enlisted ourselves in. Now we are the law! Well, in a way at least.

Yui: I know that I explained all this time during the morning about the basics, and how the Committee works, *Takes and hands over to both two rulebooks* but I will ask you to take these rulebooks with you as well, to ensure you have memorized everything you need to know. *Serious* Don't be lazy about it, it's important.

Nana: *Salutes* Not a problem!

Sounds tiresome to me, but I better do it to not kick me out and lose my chance to be together with Nana at school more.

Nana: Question. Those armbands the Committee wears. Can I make a proposal on how I want mine to look?

Yui: You can, but only as long as the words are not different or covered, and the armband itself must be of an appropriate color that can be taken seriously enough to demand respect toward the Disciplinary Committee. Also you have to pay for the changes.

Nana: *Excited* Awesome! I was hoping you'd say it's ok!

We can do that? Nice! I will give my request about it after Nana then as well. I already have the idea on how I want it. I feel quite excited about it. Anyway, after giving our instructions on how we would like ours, Nana and I went to one of our usual walks through the hallways together, happy that we were accepted in the Committee.

Nana: *Excited* It will be great! I look forward to start telling people what they can and can't do.

Ionas: Just make sure to not be too hyperbolic about it. The last thing you want is Yui being mad at you for not doing your job properly.

Nana: *Sweat Drop* Oh... I see what you mean. I will read the rulebook from the start to be sure again about what I'm allowed to do. (Not losing my chance to be with Ion more!)

Ionas: Good girl. *Smile* But yeah, It will be nice to help around, and keep the school safe when needed. For now I say we keep it a secret from the others about the fact we are now members, and surprise them the next day.

Nana: *Smile* Not a bad idea! I look forward to that moment. They will all be like "What"?! *Amused Laugh*

Ionas: *Amused* Indeed!

As I look forward, I start to think... Will it be a good idea to confess while on duty, or should I just wait till we are alone in general? Even if that happens, I will need to find the courage to do so. And considering how awfully I failed all this time, it only makes it worse for me to decide, without having the fear of something getting in the way! AGAIN!

Nana: *Sweat Drop* Something troubling you again?

Ionas: *Annoyed* Not really. Just a little annoyed I have to wait.

Nana: *Sweat Drop* Well, Yui has to take care of the paperwork first for us to be able to join, so-

Ionas: *Rolls Eyes* I know, I know...

I will think about it later. I want to relax for now.

Ionas: Wanna go grab a refreshment?

Nana: *Smile* Sure!

~After School~At Rito's House~

I was sitting on the couch, watching something on TV. Everyone was busy at the moment and I was all alone. Now, as for how to approach Nana... Maybe-

Rito: Ion!

DAMN IT, THERE GOES THE THOUGHT AGAIN! I see Rito approaching me troubled.

Ionas: *Somewhat Annoyed* What?

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Di... Did I come in a bad time?

Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* Oh, no-no-no, just something in my mind. Anyway, what the matter, friend?

Rito: My dad just called. He wants me to bring the usual art supplies. I thought you might want to come along, considering-

Ionas: *Rolls Eyes* Yeah, yeah, the insectbots and sh*t. Of course I will come.

Rito: *Smile* Great, thanks!

I will think about an idea on the way. Not like it's gonna take us long.

~Much Of Time Later~At Night~

We were walking on our way, FINALLY, for home. This took much longer to finish than I expected.

Ionas: *Weary Sigh* I can't believe your father mades us to also help him with the manga drawing.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Well, with Zastin and the other guys missing on whatever business they needed to take care of, he didn't have much of a choice.

For their good, it BETTER be important!

Rito: *Amazed* Must admit though, it was really impressive the way you were drawing the lines and the scenes in general, Ion!

Ionas: Oh, that? After seeing the story's characters, and how they were supposed to act in the following pages, all I had to do is focus on the image, and use the bone-power to make the lines upon the paper, before starting to draw upon those lines, pretty much using the power as a really specialized ruler.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* For real, that power of yours is WAY too convenient.

Ionas: I know, right? After witnessing how much I could make that way, he was acting like crazy to make me part of his team.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* He was really disappointed at your constant refusal.

Ionas: Would be nice, but you know well that I don't have the time for such things. I have the school, the training, those robots to take care of, AND to protect you all while doing so. Not to mention the worlds that are at stake if I fail to do the last part.

Rito: Must be tough having to deal with all those responsibilities.

Ionas: *Weary* It is...* *Smile* But, it's worth the trouble for my friends and loved ones.

Rito: Loved ones?

Ionas: Eh?

I just realized the last bit.

Ionas: *Troubled* Umm, of course I obviously refer to the fact that I see you all as my family, since the day you accepted me in your household. Don't think of it in a weird way now.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* O-Oh, I see.

I think he believed it. Not that it's a lie, but I was thinking mostly of Nana when I was saying the "loved ones" part.

Rito: *Thinking* ...

He looks like he has some serious thinking there. Wonder if it's about Haruna.

Rito: Ion.

Ionas: Yeah?

Rito: *Sweat Drop* I know this will sound weird, but... Do you... Have feelings for Nana?

Ionas: ... *Raises An Eyebrow* Where did that question come from?

Rito: *Sweat Drop* W-Well-

As he was about to explain himself, I notice a human-like figure above us, about to land onto Rito. With a fast movement I push him out of the way, without him falling down oddly enough, and I activate just as soon my Adrenal power, giving me enough speed to grab the falling figure above me with both hands the right moment, and then pin her with her back down onto the pavement, before deciding to deactivate my power.

Rito: *Surprised* Eh- Huh?!

The figure was a girl, white-skinned, with short black-hair and school-like uniform, and which I have never seen before. She had a surprised expression on her face as she was looking at me.

Ionas: *Serious* Alright, you, what is the meaning of-? *Notices* Wait a second...

I take a better look at her eyes and think I recognize her.

Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Nemesis, is that you?

Rito: *Sweat Drop* N-Nemesis? But she doesn't-

Nemesis: *Smile* Oh no, he is right, I changed my form. *To Ion* And yet you were able to recognize me with just one look.

Ionas: *Serious Staring* ...

Nemesis: I must say I was quite surprised at YOU catching me unprepared like that. You have some good ref-

*Just before she says more, Ion raises a fist, and attempts to punch her, with her avoiding it the last second by allowing part of her clothing, which he was still holding onto with his other hand, to be ripped as she moves fast away, with Ion ending up striking the pavement hard enough to make a hole in it*

Rito: *Real Surprised* Wha-?!

The ripped clothing I was holding turns into black mist as I stand up straight, and goes back to Nemesis's reformed, and now back to the usual, form.

Nemesis: *Smile* My, my, it looks like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed today.

Ionas: *Obviously Angry Beyond Measure* ...

Nemesis: *Cheeky* Now what did I do to you to get you like-?

Ionas: *Real Angry* Wait till I get my bloody hands on you and I'll show you!

As I attempt to rush at her, Rito gets in front of me, stopping me.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* I-Ion, no! I know Nemesis has not been at her best behavior recently-

Ionas: *Furious* SHE TURNED ME INTO A SNEEZING F*CKING JET!

Nemesis: *Amused Giggle*

Rito: *Sweat Dropping Like Crazy* I-I know, but-

Ionas: *Angry* Don't you dare stop me! That shortstack of a b*tch had it coming for a long time now!

Nemesis: Look, if you want a fight, we can do this at some other time. For now I will ask for a truce. I will make sure to not pull any tricks on you, Ion. I promise.

Ionas: ... *Relaxes* *Still A Bit Annoyed* Alright, but only because I'm not really in the mood for a fight. Don't you give me a reason to!

Nemesis: *Smile* You will not regret it. *To Rito* Anyway, my servant, I will need you to treat me to something for the night. Dealing with constant pursuit-mechas almost all day has made me quite hungry.

Rito: Eh?

Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Pursuit-mechas?

After we went at a store to buy some sweets for her to CHOKE ON- to eat, we then go to walk up on a building's outer staircase, till we reach the second or third floor, where we sit down and listen to her story while she was eating. To Rito's surprise mostly, she told us that she was being hunted down by the Devilukian Royal Guard, for the reason of her being known as the one behind the Darkness incident and pretty much the endangerment of the princesses, and how they proceeded to take over all her bases, which are pretty much either restaurants or cafes.

Ionas: The surprise is how they didn't hunt you down for that sooner.

Kremant: True.

We all turn around and see Kremant sitting beside us.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Kr-Kremant!

Kremant: *Grin* Hope I'm not intruding.

Ionas: *Bored* You will not care anyway.

Nemesis: *Smile* Look who decided to drop by.

Kremant: Good to see you too, Nem, *Grabs And Pulls Ion Close To Him By The Shoulder* but I will need to borrow Ion for a moment. Sorry.

Ionas: Wait, wha-?

*Both pop out of view, and appear again onto a road not too far from there*

I push Kremant back, breaking his hold.

Ionas: *Annoyed* Alright, you piece of sh*t, what-?

Kremant: Sorry for pulling you out of your little company like that, but I had my reasons.

Ionas: *Wondering* ... And what is it about to pull me away like that in the first place? *Irritated* Better not be stupid!

Kremant: *Shows through a small smoking cloud from his hand images, that slowly change with one another, which depict Nana and Ion being lovey-dovey* You know how after the realization of your true feelings, you keep on trying to confess to Nana about them.

Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Yeah?

Kremant: *The small cloud disappears* Well, a thought came to my mind about it, and I just had to come ask you. What I want to know is... After you do just that, and in case she accepts, *Cheeky* like she will not*, what happens from then on? You know, your plans for the future.

Ionas: I... *Realization* Huh... I actually never thought about it.

What do I do after she and I become a couple?

Kremant: *Grin* Gave you quite the food for thought, didn't I?

Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* Even "I" must admit that, this time.* Though, now that I think better about it, I should probably focus on getting her to accept me first, before I make any such plans. Still... Thank you for the important thinking. *Somewhat Annoyed* As much as it annoys me to say it.

Kremant: *Big Grin* Always here for you, pal!

Ionas: So, you came only for that, or-?

Kremant: I also came to keep you company. I have much of free time, and not a single soul to share it with. I'm THAT bored.

Ionas: *Bored* I see... Don't expect a warm-

*Explosion Noise From Afar*

Ionas: *Surprised* The hell?!

I look at where Rito and Nemesis were, and see a big dust cloud on that part of the building.

Ionas: *Shocked* Don't tell me Rito-!

Kremant: Oh no-no, don't worry, they are both fine.

Ionas: *Irritated* You know I don't give a f*ck about Nem-

Kremant: *Excited-Like* AND~...

Kremant stays like that without talking or moving after that, as if he is waiting for something.

Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* ... What are you-?

Kremant: *Excited-Like* Wait for it...

Ionas: ... Can you at least tell me what-?

Kremant: *Excited-Like* Just a few more seconds...

Ionas: ...

While I was wondering what is going on with him, suddenly-

Kremant: *Claps his hands and does the famous "Dance Moves" from "Fortnite"*

He does whatever THAT is supposed to be. Don't know with this guy anymore.

*Both of them then pop out of view again, and reappear at the rooftop where Rito, Zastin and Nemesis are, with the last two fighting. Not long after, Zastin is being forced backward by Nemesis's floating on air in dark aura blades as he blocks them with his sword, gaining some distance and still on his feet*

WHOA!

Rito: *Concerned* Zastin!

Zastin: *To Nemesis* *Smug Smile* I knew it. That body of yours... Is dark matter itself!

Rito: *Sweat Drop* D-Dark matter?

Kremant: *Grin* Yes, exactly like that flavoring, friend!

Wait, like what?

Nemesis: *Somewhat Offended* Well, that's not very-

*Everyone notices that moment both Kremant And Ion*

Zastin: Ah- *Alarmed* Kremant!

Kremant: *Somewhat Serious* Zastin!

Ionas: *Confused* Zastin?

Zastin: *Surprised* Ion?

Kremant: Rito!

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Eh, what?

Kremant: *Seemingly Disappointed* Ah~, you ruined it!

*Everyone stays motionless for a moment due to confusion*

Nemesis: (Was that some kind of game or something?)

Zastin: *Shakes Confusion Off His Head* *Smug Smile* This opportunity couldn't have been any better.

Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Hm?

Zastin that moment takes out something that looks like an alien-like remote.

Zastin: This device... *Presses The Button* Can only be used at close range.

After a second, the area around us in enveloped in light, and then suddenly all we see around us is a desert with some ancient-looking ruins scattered about. We definitely got transferred.

Kremant: *Fast Talking* Before anyone asks, this is a Cyberspace, not the real thing. You're welcome.

Nemesi: Oh, ok.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Cyberspace?

Ionas: *Wondering* Really now?

Why though?

Zastin: (Right, this one can read minds.) *Realization* (Wait, then he also knows...)

Kremant: *Nods At Zastin*

Zastin: *Sweat Drop* (What is he...?) *Shakes Thought Away As He Remembers The Plan* (Doesn't matter now!) *Serious* That is correct. We are in a cyberspace.

Nemesi: For what reason, if I may ask?

We notice that moment a tall figure at the distance. I can feel an awfully intense aura coming from him, as he is walking toward us.

Zastin: *Turns Around* It would be too dangerous for that person to wield his power in his true form while in reality.

As he gets closer, I see his spiky black hair, attire, AND the familiar devilish tail, realizing who he is.

Zastin: *Proudly* The king of Deviluke! Gid Lucion Deviluke-Sama~!

Ionas: *Incredibly Surprised* ...

Oh boy... This is getting real.

Nemesis: *Excited* Ohhh~!

WHAT ARE YOU SO EXCITED ABOUT?!

Gid: *Somewhat Annoyed* You're late Zastin. I got tired of waiting and was about to fall asleep.

Zastin: *Salutes Apologetically* I'm very sorry, Gid-Sama.

So THAT'S how he is when not chibified!

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Gi... Gid-Sama?

Even I am surprised, friend! Who would have thought that I will meet HIM like this. To tell the truth, I'm not sure how I should feel about it. The king looks at both Nemesis and Kremant as he approaches, till he decides to stop at an appropriate distance. He seems to be looking especially at Kremant, having quite a serious look on his face while doing so.

Gid: *Looks At Kremant With An Intense Menacing Look* ...

Kremant: *Grin* Oh, don't mind me, Devi-King. I'm not planning on getting involved any time soon. *A bag of popcorn appears in his hands* I'm mostly here to watch and enjoy the show. *Gulps some of it* *To The Others* Anyone wants some too?

*The others look at him confused*

Kremant: No? Ok then. *Gulps some more of it*

Gid: ... *Menacing* I'm going to deal with you later.

The king now focuses on Nemesis. I can imagine of a few reasons for him to be angry at Kremant.

Gid: *Smile* So, you're that Nemesis person. I've heard your story. Basically, you want to defeat me and plunge the universe into war again?

Nemesis does not speak and just looks at him. Zastin at the same time leads me and Rito away, with Kremant just following us from behind while floating backward and still looking at the other two, so we can keep a safe distance from them.

Gid: Alright, I'll take you on. My body is back to normal and my power is overflowing anyway. *Grin* Show me! You're a living weapon of a pretty rare type, aren't you?

Nemesis: *Excited* To think... That I'd get to play with the king of Deviluke himself... As a weapon, this makes me so excited!

That moment, Nemesis's hair grows and extends at different directions, as dark matter is being released from each extension. I can tell just by that display how excited she is about this.

Kremant: *To Zastin* So anyway, while the fight is ongoing, care to explain to Ion and Rito here about the "project Nemesis"? You know, what it is about and how you acquired the information. Help them understand. *Goes Close To Rito And Whispers* And no, the giant blades you will see appearing out of nowhere soon, are not like that warp-thing.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* O-Ok...?

Damn it, don't spoil everything I haven't seen yet!

Zastin: *To Kremant* *Serious* As much as I hate listening to a vile creature such as yourself, I do agree that they need to know as well. *To Rito And Ion* So-

*A Quick Explanation Later*

Ionas: Ah, I see. Interesting stuff.

Seriously though, dark matter is used as a flavoring in this universe?! How can they even-?! Also, that Kuro assassin guy, I wonder what kind of character he has. Never heard of him before at all. Anyway, as I look at the fight, I can tell it's gonna be real one-sided. Well, considering that person, Gid, is supposedly able to blow-up entire planets-

Zastin: *Notices* *Alarmed* Watch out!

As Zastin and Kremant move away at high speed, leaving me and Rito wondering, a huge explosion occurs from one of the kings attacks onto the ground, raising sand high and the power radius about to reach us. In my panic I use both hands to use a continuous Force Push at the explosion's incoming power wave, being able to hold my ground if only a little as I'm pushed back a few meters, struggling to not lose balance and be thrown away. As the power wave dissipates, I then notice that Rito was launched far away by the force of that explosion.

Ionas: *Concerned* Sh*t!

*Adrenal Power Activates*

I quickly rush to where he is headed to, hoping to reach him before he falls down again. As I run, I notice ahead after a moment Momo naked and with only a towel, along with Peke.

Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* What the-?

As I'm about to question what the hell are these two doing here, I notice Rito about to fall, with Momo as I look being the target.

Ionas: *Annoyed* Oh, come on with-!

I jump as I run at high speed, and as Rito is about to end up onto the surprised Momo, I catch him the last moment, moving him away from Momo using the force of my jump, and use my back, as we fall down farther ahead, to protect him from the sand-like surface's friction, before we inevitably stop sliding on it. Some of the sand went inside my pants and boxers.

*Adrenal Power Deactivates*

Ionas: *Irritated Feeling From Sand*

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Oh, Ion! *Relieved* Thanks for the catch.

Ionas: *Still Irritated About* No problem.

As we get up, and I try to get the sand off my lower area without undressing, Momo and Peke are approaching us fast.

Momo: *Concerned* Rito-San, Ion, are you alright?!

Peke: *Sweat Drop* Just what is going on?!

Ionas: *Just finished getting the sand off his boxers* Well-

*A Quick Explanation Later*

Momo: *Sweat Drop* So father is really-

*A gigantic beam of energy is suddenly occuring where the fight takes place, surprising Ion's group*

Seeing that happening in front of us got me worried, till I realized it's not close to reaching us. The energy then settles down.

Ionas: ... If she is not a goner after that, then-

Rito: *Concerned* We have to stop this!

Before I question his thinking, he starts running fast toward the fight's location immediately.

Momo: *Concerned* Rito-San!

Ionas: *Irritated* Oh boy- *To Rito* Wait for us, you fool!

While running, Momo got Peke to become her usual black and green clothing, so she will not have to run around naked. After that, I asked her why and how are they here, with her explaining about a confusion in the connection of one of Lala's mechas, which transferred them both here instead of where it was intended. Why am I not surprised by such things anymore? After some more running, we reach the deep trail the beam left behind, and see the king and Nemesis being at a distance from each other, with the latter missing much of her body due to damage, regenerating at a much slower rate than before. We seem to have lost quite the dialog as well.

Gid: *Serious* Kneel before me and vow to never do something so bothersome again. If you do so, I can leave it at this. Okay?

Rito: Nemesis!

Rito gains both their attention. I notice at the same time Kremant appearing beside Momo, which surprised her, before deciding to wave his hand at me in a greeting way while grinning about, which I decide to ignore as I roll my eyes.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* L-Let me say one thing here! There is nothing good that ever comes out of fighting!

Damn it, Rito, don't try to always save just ANYONE. You idiotic softie!

Gid: *Notices Momo* ... *To Zastin* *Serious* Don't bring unnecessary people in here, Zas, you moron.

*The rest of the scene goes like in the manga, where Nemesis takes Rito's words as a stupid joke, with her proceeding to provoke the Devilukian King further, with him being pissed off by that, and surprising the rest*

Yep, she is dead.

Kremant (Telepathy): (Hey, Nemesis.)

Nemesis appears for a moment to be surprised by something, but keeps her eyes on the king, as he says a few last things to her.

Kremant (Telepathy): (I know what you're thinking, but I suggest you to not imitate that one.) *Big Grin* (Trust me.)

Nemesis: ... *Smile* (I see. Thanks for the heads-up.)

Nemesis looks toward our location, and in almost an instant flies toward us, as she turns into a big black clawed hand in the process, and plunging herself at the edge we were standing on, resulting the said edge below us to crumble, with the rest of us falling down along with it, and the area around us being covered in a cloud of scattered sand.

*While all this was happening, Kremant was just floating in place as if nothing happened, and still grinning about*

Gid: *Concerned* ...

Ionas: *From Inside The Sand Cloud* *Annoyed* DAMN IT, AND I JUST GOT THE SAND OUT OF MY BOXERS!

*The sand dissipates, revealing everyone again, and noticing something surprising*

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Eh?

Momo: *Sweat Drop* What-?

Ionas: *Surprised* The f*ck?!

*Everyone notices how there are two Ions now*

Oh, that c*nt! She is trying to pull THAT trick on us!

Nemesis (Ionas): *Seemingly Annoyed* Are you for real now, Nemesis?!

Ionas: *Annoyed* Oh, don't you get me started with that bloody act now!

Kremant: *Amused Chuckle*

Rito: *Real Confused* ...

Momo: *Sweat Drop* My... This sure is bad. Who is the real one now?

Ionas (Nemesis): *Seemingly Annoyed* It's ME, obviously! ME!

Ionas: *Annoyed* You wish, you filthy imposter!

Gid: *Thinking* ... (I would normally blow them both up to bits, just to be sure, but this Ion guy has been pretty much protecting my daughters for quite a while now, on multiple occasions as I know. Pretty much doing Zastin's job, WHO HE HIMSELF NEGLECTS! Not to mention that he is a really close friend to them, so I can't risk killing such a capable and valuable person. It would be a real waste.) *Somewhat Troubled* (This is definitely a problematic situation. This Nemesis girl is smarter than I anticipated.)

Momo: *Sweat Drop* (Even father has problem understanding who is who! I really hope he doesn't decide to kill them both just to be sure in the end...)

Ionas: *Thinking* ...* King!

Gid: Hm?

Ionas: *Determined* Punch a hole in me!

Gid: *Surprised*

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Huh?!

Ionas: *Serious* Nemesis and I have different ways of regeneration, so something like that should make it obvious who is wh-

Nemesis (Ionas): *Seemingly Upset* I'm not a masochist like YOU are! YOU punch a hole in yourself, f*cking weirdo!

Ionas: *Cheeky* What? Afraid of a little dam-?

Nemesis (Ionas): *Seemingly Annoyed* Shut your mouth, b*tchy b*tch!

Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Wait, what did you just-?

Nemesis (Ionas): *Seemingly Annoyed* I called you a b*tch! You can take any form of mine, but not my swears! F*cker! C*nt! Small sh*t! And everything else filths like you deserve!

Ionas: ... *Incredibly Offended And Trembling From Anger* ...

I am offended... FOR THE FACT SHE IS NOT EVEN F*CKING TRYING!

*Ion grabs fast his imitator by the shirt, catching her off guard*

Ionas: *Furious* LISTEN HERE, YOU BLOODY, SMALL A*S C*NT OF A B*TCHING WH*RE.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* (Oh boy.)

Momo: *Sweat Drop* (Here we go again.)

Ionas: *Furious* YOUR HYPOCRITICAL, WANNABE IMITATION OF ME IS SO BAD, THAT EVEN THE F*CKING PARROTS OF THE WORLD WOULD FEEL INSULTED BY YOUR PATHETIC, AMATEURISTIC ATTEMPT!

Kremant: *Highly Amused* OH SNAP!

Ionas: *Furious* IN FACT, I CAN'T JUST LET YOU GO LIKE THAT, AFTER SUCH A POOR F*CKING DISPLAY OF MY IMAGE! I'M GONNA TAKE THOSE BLADES OF YOURS, AND SHOVE THEM SO FAR UP YOUR INCREDIBLY DELICATE BROWN A*S, THAT YOU'LL BE COUGHING THEM AS BLOODY DARK MATTER FOR DAYS! I'M GONNA PUNCH YOUR ENTIRE BEING SO HARD, THAT YOUR FILTHY EXISTENCE WILL TURN INTO A DARK F*CKING DUST CLOUD, AND THEN USE A SPECIALIZED VACUUM CLEANER TO GATHER IT ALL, JUST BEFORE YOU MATERIALIZE YOURSELF AGAIN INSIDE IT. THEN WHILE TRAPPED IN THERE WITH NO WAY OUT, I'M GONNA GO IN THE TOILET, AND AFTER THOROUGHLY USING IT, I WILL USE THE VACUUM AGAIN TO SUCK THE HIGHLY DIRTY WATER FROM IT, AND THEN SHAKE THE MACHINE ITSELF TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY BIT OF IT GOES INSIDE YOUR F*CKING EVERYTHING, TILL I MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A SH*TY, FILTHY COCKTAIL!

*Ion's tirade is disturbing everyone the more he continues, with the Devilukian king starting to show signs of disturbance as well*

Ionas: *Furious* AND AFTER I HAVE DONE ALL THAT, I WILL SET YOU FREE FROM YOU FILTHY PRISON, ONLY TO FORCE-FEED YOU EVERYTHING THE CLOSEST TRASH CAN CONTAINS, JUST SO I CAN MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU F*CKING EAT! YOU LOATHSOME, SH*T STAINED, IMBECILIC, TRASH EATING SOW!

I say the last bit while pushing my imitator away out of irritation, with her hitting her back onto the king's front.

Nemesis (Ionas): *Sweat Drop* Wow, what a mouth. *Realizes* Ah-

She turns around to face the king.

Nemesis (Ionas): *Sweat Drop* By that I mean, look at the wannabe how she tries to convince everyone like-

Gid: Give it a rest.

After saying that, he impales the imitator in the chest with his hand, while lifting her off the ground, with her changing back to her original form while impaled. EAT IT, B*TCH!

Gid: It was already known to me about his unique way of... "Tirading".

Momo: *Sweat Drop* (It's a good thing we tell mother and father about almost everything. Still, can't believe Ion tirading about is what helped in this situation!)

Gid: *To Nemesis* Can't imitate something like that so easily.

And you better never forget that, you shameless sloth!

Kremant: *Shrugs* *To Nemesis* Well, you tried.

Nemesis: *To Gid* I was so distracted by his ongoing "hate-speech", that I completely forgot I was imitating him. *Smile* Oh well, it was interesting while it lasted. *Holds Gid by the impaled to her chest arm* I was planning on getting a hold onto you anyway.

*As in the manga, the rest of the scene shows Nemesis attempting to use Trans-Fusion on Gid, to everyone's worry, only for him to electrocute himself with his tail, which hardly affects him, resulting in an explosion which throws her away before falling down again, with her now being on the verge of dematerialization, with Rito getting incredibly worried about her, rushing to her side, getting mad at Gid who went so far, Zastin then appearing to reprimand him for his rude behavior, and who was now covered in what seems to be a pink pie frosting for some reason, and finally with Nemesis delivering a speech about her interesting, and somewhat heartwarming story, and how she didn't care about disappearing in the end after everything she got to do, and the people she got to meet, referring even to Ion*

Rito: *Incredibly Concerned* Nemesis!

Ionas: ...

You know... I kinda feel bad for her now. Even though she was a pain... She will still be miss-

Rito: *Concerned And In A Hurry* T-Take possession of my body!

Ionas: *Surprised* Excuse me, wha-?!

*ONCE AGAIN, the rest of the scene shows Nemesis questioning Rito's decision, with him insisting so he can save her, and with her taking the chance to possess his body, disappearing inside him. Then Gid questions his decision, since she is supposed to be a terrorist and all, with Rito saying he will convince her to not try anything evil again, also saying that Nemesis is not really evil, due to all the times he spent with her through the days, going even as far as to say that he will choose to die along with her if he is wrong, and that if he just let a girl in front of him vanish, he wouldn't be able to face his family as a man again*

Well, I can't have a say in this. It's his decision, after all. Just hope it is not for nothing. But will the king-

Gid: Very well.

Zastin: *Surprised* G-Gid-Sama!

Oh, he will actually allow it?! Good!

Gid: The target is incapacitated, so we don't need to worry about her, for now. *To Rito* Yuuki Rito!

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Y-Yes?

Gid: This is the path YOU have chosen. *Smile* Prove to me it was the correct choice, if you call yourself a man.

Rito: ...

Ionas: *To Zastin* Anyway, so Zastin, *Raises An Eyebrow* why the hell are you covered in... Whatever that pink thing is?

Zastin: *Upset* *Points At Kremant* That damnable phantom threw a big strawberry pie at me while we were fleeing from Gid-Sama's attack from that time! *Takes a bit from his nose and tastes it* At least it's quite pleasant in taste.

Kremant: *Amused Chuckle*

Ionas: ...

Really now, Zastin?

Kremant: *Grin* WELL, it was fun hanging out with you guys. *Turns Around And Walks Away* Bu~t, it's about time I lea-

A gust of wind raises suddenly, and then we see Gid standing in front of Kremant, stopping him by that way.

Gid: *Menacing* Now where do you think YOU are going?

Oh.

Kremant: Out of this place of course, isn't it obvious?

Gid: *Real Annoyed* You have a lot of nerve saying that, considering everything you have done.

Is he talking about the known facts, or something we, the rest, don't know about yet?

Kremant: *Seemingly Thinking* Now what could I possibly have done to you?

Gid: *Serious* First things first, the "Shadow incident". Where you mind-controlled that Ion fellow over there, endangering not only an entire population, *Menacing* but most importantly my daughters' lives by doing so.

I hate being reminded of that day...

Gid: *Upset* THEN, as if that was not enough as it is, you then put my WIFE'S life in danger, when she visited our daughters on Earth, just for a laugh!

It was quite an unexpected event, but thankfully nothing bad happened in the end.

Gid: *Incredibly Annoyed* And then there is that other thing you did, not long ago!

Can't seem to recall anything else, so...

Ionas: *Incredibly Troubled* *To Kremant* Wait, what else did you do to upset him?!

{Flashback}

~On Deviluke~In The Royal Palace~

*The scene shows Gid enjoying some alone time in his big sized royal bath, with his body being from the stomach and down inside the warm water*

Gid: *Relaxing* (Ahh, this is really good for my nerves. With all the things that happened recently, it's a must.)

*Suddenly, a tiny black box tied with a red ribbon appears out of nowhere falling from above, with Gid noticing it and grabbing it with one hand the last moment, ensuring it doesn't fall in the water that way*

Gid: *Raises An Eyebrow* Now what's this supposed to be?

*He looks around him and above, only to see no one, before looking at the tiny box again. He then spots a small paper attached to it*

Gid: *Reads* A gift for the king of the known universe. I want to apologize for all the trouble I brought upon you. P.S: Don't open till Christmas.* *Raises An Eyebrow* What the hell is Christmas? *Continues To Read* Sincerely, your good friend Kremant.* (Wait, that menace sent me a gift and calls me "friend"?) *Smug Smile* Heh. Probably understood finally how foolish it was of him to mess with me, and wants to make up for it.

*Gid pulls the ribbon and opens the box, resulting in an explosion, which fills the entire room with a thick black smoke*

Gid: *Cough* *Cough* What the hell?! *Cough*

*When the smoke diminishes, the room is seen being filled with multiple white goats now all of a sudden*

Gid: *Confused* ...

Goats: ...

Gid: *Confused* What are-?

*All the goats then suddenly start screaming about, like in the meme, loudly and without stopping any time soon*

Gid: *Covers his ears out of annoyance*

*Now some of the goats stand on their two legs, and dance in a synchronized and comical way while screaming*

Gid: *Still covering his ears and annoyed beyond limits, while grunting from said annoyance*

*The scene then goes out of the palace, with an explosion occurring at the part where the bath is or was supposed to be*

{End Of Flashback}

Gid: *Really Irritated* I had to renovate the entire royal bath after that.

Kremant: *Amused Laughing And Hand Clapping*

Everyone were really surprised and troubled by Kremant's act. Seriously, this guy just wants to prank anyone nowadays.

Momo: *Sweat Drop* (Angering father is NEVER a good idea...!)

Rito: *Sweat Drop* (I hope we don't get caught into another explosion or something like that again...)

The king appears to get a hold on himself, and tries to stay calm.

Gid: *Serious* What you have to say for yourself, ghost?

Kremant: *Big Grin* Guilty as charged!

Of course you would say it like it's a good thing.

Gid: According to our reports, you're a powerful individual, who is even able to travel through the multiverse itself. And you pretty much have proven more than enough already how far you're willing to go to achieve that so wanted "entertainment" of yours.

Kremant: Yep!

Gid: And it's obvious that talking to you about ceasing that kind of behavior is not gonna work at all.

Kremant: Nope!

Gid: ... *Knuckle Cracking* Very well then. You and I will settle this right now, before you cause any further trouble.

Kremant: *Cheeky* You intent to face me, king Gid-dity?

Gid: *Annoyed* I'm gonna shut that smart-a*s mouth of yours real soon.

Kremant: *Grin* I'll take that as a "yes". Sure, no problem. I have a lot of free time in my hands anyway.

Are they seriously going to fight? As curious as I am to watch this, we are talking about two overpowered people, so...

Ionas: *Real Concerned* *Points Away* Everybody, quickly back away! The more distance the bett-

Kremant: And have you miss the whole thing? What kind of friend would I be to allow that? *Snaps His Fingers*

The ground beneath us suddenly shake, and dark-gray colossal walls emerge from all around us in a gigantic circle, reaching for the sky above and beyond, trapping everyone inside the arena-like structure. On the walls multiple platforms with seats could be noticed all around and higher on them, seemingly endless in number. The ground remains unchanged, keeping the desert's sand as floor.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* What the- What is this?!

Zastin: *Alarmed* Everyone, on your gua-!

*Everyone, with the exception of Kremant and Gid, instantly vanish and reappear seated on the seats in one of the platforms*

Zastin: *Surprised* Eh, wh-what the-?

We were all equally surprised, with the king being concerned for a moment there.

Kremant: *Loudly* There, have a seat! You can enjoy the show safely from up there! OH, by the way, I hope you don't mind, but I invited some friends to come watch too!

Momo: Friends?

As we were wondering about it, suddenly from the wall behind of our seats a door opens, and many Reshaped ghosts like Kremant walk in to take a seat around us to our surprise, especially to Zastin's surprise, with three of them in the colors of blue, red, and green, being quite known to me.

Agathe: *Smile* Hey, Ion, long time no see!

Deinos: Yo.

Gnostis: Greetings from me too.

Ionas: Oh... *Somewhat Surprised* Hi as well.

Didn't expect to meet them again any time soon. Then we notice more doors opening at each of the endless platforms, and the seats filling with Reshaped ghosts of different colors and hood shapes. Hell, I even see a fat brown Reshaped among them! We then see a microphone appearing in Kremant's hand, and he is ready to use it.

Kremant (Through Microphone): Ladies AND gentle-ghosts! Welcome in one of the many, but still entertaining, fighting events in the Reshaped Arena!

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud with excitement*

Kremant (Through Microphone): Tonight, you're gonna see a very unique fight. On that side, the ruler of all the known universe, the planet exterminator, and father to the three very well know heroines of the story, Gid Lucion Deviluke!

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud for Gid*

Gid: *Serious but concerned* (So there really ARE more like him. This might be a lot more serious than we thought.)

Kremant (Through Microphone): And on this side, he is cheeky, he has the biggest grin, and has visited more planets through the multiverse than you want to know, Kremant THE Reshaped!

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud for Kremant*

Zastin: *Shocked* The... There are so many of them...

Ionas: *Concerned* Yeah, no kidding...

Just thinking that all of them are Kremant's friends is enough of a reason to worry about.

Kremant (Through Microphone): The rules are simple! The first to surrender or who can't continue the fight, loses! The winner gets glory, and the freedom to gloat about it later!

Gid: *Serious Look* ...

Kremant (Through Microphone): And to make sure that no one gets any wrong ideas, and to pretty much keep calm our "special spectators", we, the Reshaped, do not intend on doing anything to cause an intergalactic war in this universe. If that was the case, I would have not lose my time with Ion, and this whole "show" business!

*The Reshaped ghosts laugh at the bad joke, while Ion and the others cringe from it*

Kremant (Through Microphone): And of course you don't need to worry about my friends, Devi-King. Even if they wanted to, they are not allowed to offer any kind of help to me in this fight. *Cheeky* Not that I really need any help for pipsqueaks like you!

*The Reshaped ghosts react with an Amused "OOHH" at Kremant's provocation*

Gid: ... Someone sure is overconfident for a "dead man".

*The Reshaped ghosts react with an even louder Amused "OOHH" at Gid's "burn"*

Kremant (Through Microphone): *Amused And Impressed* OOH, that was a good one!

*Kremant's microphone vanishes*

Kremant: I believe it's about time we begin with the main event, won't you agree?

Gid: *Crosses Arms* Let's see just how capable you are supposed to be in an actual fight, ghost.

They really ARE going to fight in the end, huh? First time we will see Kremant in full action now that I think about it.

Ionas: *To Momo* I still can't believe that your dad and Kremant are going to fight each other.

Momo: *Sweat Drop* I know, it's so unexpected. Yet, I can't help but feel worried. I know father is incredibly strong, and has dealt in the past with many powerful people as well, but...

Ionas: I get what you mean. Kremant is just as dangerous, if not worse, especially considering he can even travel through the multiverse.

Not to menion all the powers he might have absorbed from the worlds he found in his way.

Zastin: *Serious* Don't underestimate Gid-Sama. He-

Ionas: *Rolls Eyes* Yes, we know about his accomplishments, Zastin, we just say that it's not gonna be a simple matter. You worry too, no?

Zastin: *Sweat Drop* ... Yeah... But, I still have faith in my king!

Rito: *Sweat Drop* (I wish there was another way. Fighting is never a good thing.)

I see Rito strongly grasping the part of the shirt onto his chest while looking frustrated. Probably thinking of the previous fight with Nemesis. He was known to not like fights to begin with, and after what happened, it's most likely that now he outright hates seeing such things.

Gid: *To Kremant* You can have the first move.

Kremant: *Happily* OK!

In almost an instant, Kremant approaches the king, places a table between them out of nowhere, sits down, takes from below a small box, with him then taking from the inside what look like multiple rectangle-shaped small pieces of wood, which he places on top of each other at incredible speed, till he makes what looks like a small tower, before grabbing and taking away carefully a piece from its middle.

Kremant: *Grin* Alright, your turn.

Eh?

Gid: *Somewhat Confused But Still Serious* ... What is this?

I agree, what the hell?!

Kremant: We are doing a jenga fight, don't we?

Gid: ...

*Ion and his friends were real confused by that*

Ionas: *Facepalm*

For f*ck's sake with your randomness, Kremant! The king raises his fist that moment and strikes, with Kremant backing away fast the last moment, as the force of the attack obliterates the table and jenga tower.

Kremant: So, you don't like jenga you say.

The king looks at Kremant with a serious look.

Gid: *Serious* I'm not here to play small games with you. Either take this seriously, or-

Kremant: *Seemingly Serious* Hey, my arena, my rules!* But yeah, I do agree I should put the jokes into a minimum. *Loudly* Lights!

*The arena is now illuminated by the surrounding lights*

Kremant: *Loudly* Instruments!

*Most of the Reshaped ghosts around the platforms take out different musical instruments, and seem ready to use them*

Kremant: *To Gid* *Cheshire Grin* Our show will be legendary! *Loudly* Action!

[The big Reshaped band starts playing the music "Rowdy Rumble" from "Kingdom Hearts 2"]

In an instant, most of the arena is filled with a huge number of Kremant's clones, having the king completely surrounded, and seemingly moving in place rhythmically to the music.

Gid: *Unmoved with his arms still crossed, his long bladed tail on guard, and carefully watching the clones' movements*

As the music changes tone, the clones start dancing and side flipping in an intense manner around the king, but still without making any actual move against him.

Zastin: *Thinking* That's weird, he doesn't seem to be trying anything-

Ionas: *To Gid* *Loudly* King, be careful! Kremant is known for his deceitful character! Don't allow him to trick you!

Gid: *Serious and still focused on the clones* I don't need you to tell me that! Now be quiet and just watch!

Ok then, but remember I warned you, you rude little-

*Gid rushes toward the dancing clones, and passes through them with incredible speed as he moves his tail around him, till he reaches the other side of the wall*

WOW, that was fast! When he turns around to look at the clones, half of them that moment explode into smoke, vanishing completely.

Ionas: *Amazed* He took care of so many in an instant!

Reminds me of those swordsman movies with that special sword move, and the enemies who fall after its slow sheathing. Best moment in any such movie!

Zastin: *Proud* That's the king of Deviluke for you.

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud*

The remaining clones just keep on dancing, and not doing anything else. What are you up to, Kremant?

Gid: If you thought that your little "dance-off" will confuse me somehow so you can catch me by surprise, then you're a bigger fool than I expected you to be.

Kremant And Clones: *Synchronized Voices* Maybe I am. Maybe that was my intention all along? Who knows?

Zastin: *Confused* Eh, what does he-?

That moment, Kremant's clones stop dancing and take out of their cloaks what look like pies, with each holding a different one in their hand.

Momo: *Sweat Drop* Eh- Pies?

The clones grin widely, before rushing with extreme speed forward, preparing to use their pies as soon as they can, and screaming with excitement.

Gid: (I see, instant materialization. Just like in the report.)

The king seeing them coming, decides to rush at them as well. Some of the clones attempt to use them in melee, aiming for his face, with him dodging some and striking some others with his tail, destroying them, while some other clones simply throw the pies at him from a distance, with the king being again able to dodge them as well, and striking some of those clones at the distance by electrocuting them with his tail, destroying once more the ones he hits.

Ionas: He is not fighting seriously. *Annoyed* The f*cker just wants to fool around as always!

Agathe: *Smile* That's Kremant for you!

I guess we had to expect something like that from him, actually.

Deinos: Better that Gid of yours not drop his guard, though. Kremant might act silly most of the times, but you never know when he will decide to pull a more dangerous trick from his sleeves. *Oddly Happy* Honestly, one of the things I don't dislike that much.

Agathe: *Smile* Including me?

Deinos: *Looks The Other Way Seemingly Annoyed* No mention needed.

Agathe: *Giggles*

So, he is pretty much the tsundere in that relationship of theirs. Whatever, don't really care. After some more attacks, the last remaining clones are finally destroyed, leaving the king to stand alone in the middle of the arena. Kremant then appears at a distance, just looking at him and with his usual grin.

Gid: Is that really all you're capable o-?

Before he says more, a white pie hits the king at the back of his head, covering the spot with its frosting, and bringing a shocking expression on his face, with the rest of us being shocked as well by that.

[The Reshaped band stops the music]

We all see then, along with the king who turns around, another one of Kremant's clones, with his lower half being inside the sand and some meters behind of the king, being the culprit of that throw.

Kremant's Clone: *Big Grin* Got 'em!

After saying that, the clone vanishes, leaving now only the king and Kremant standing on the arena. Can't believe he actually hit him with one in the end!

Zastin: *Shocked* Gid-Sama...

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud*

Oh boy, like it was not humiliating enough already.

Kremant: *Amused Chuckling*

Gid: *Clenches one of his fists in extreme annoyance, with electric sparks being emitted from his entire body* ...

The king moves with extreme speed toward Kremant, getting most of the frosting off his head that way, ready to punch him in his smug "face", only for the latter to dodge by going inside the sand, disappearing from view.

Kremant (From Beneath The Sand Field): *Cheeky* Someone is ma~d!

Gid: *Real Annoyed* Just wait till I get my hands on you!

Kremant (From Beneath The Sand Field): I welcome you to try!

That moment, multiple squared black platforms emerge from around the field randomly, with the king staying on guard as he looks around. Kremant then appears from one of them at some distance from the king, with him spotting him immediately.

Kremant: You better watch the sand, cause in a few secs, *Grin* it's gonna be for you bad!

Realizing the danger, the king jumps quickly onto one of the platforms, and the next moment the sand is liquified into a red colored and seemingly boiling substance.

Momo: *Sweat Drop* Lava?!

Kremant: *To Momo* *Loudly From Below* I actually thought about using at the start lava, but then I got an even better idea! Hot sauce!

Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Hot sauce?

Kremant: *Grin* *Loudly From Below* That's right! So the game is instead now called "The floor is hot sauce"! *To Gid* So don't let it get into your eyes, or anywhere else you don't want it to be! *Chuckles*

Gid: *Somewhat Troubled* (So he can reform any material into whatever he wishes as well. A bothersome ability to deal with.)

As we look at Kremant in confusion, he creates out of thin air a large cup, and with one swing he fills it with the sauce below, before drinking it in one gulp. After doing that, he looks at the sky, and emits from his "mouth" a non-stopping powerful belch, spewing along with it large flames above for the duration, reaching even farther above than where we were, with us being startled and shocked at the gigantic flame pylon in front of us. After some seconds, Kremant stops his belching, with the flames dissipating.

Kremant: *Big Grin* Sorry.

[The Reshaped band starts playing the music "Brazul" from "Kya Dark Lineage"]

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud*

The king looks suprised for a moment, before returning to his old serious self. I guess we can't blame him after all that display Kremant showed us.

Kremant: *Enthusiastic* Here I come!

Kremant dashes instantly, reaching the king in less than a second and about to strike him with his palm, with the latter avoiding it the last second and attempting to strike him with a punch, and with the first vanishing just before he receives the strike. After that, Kremant attempts the same tactic again and again with extreme speed, using some low kicks as well, while vanishing just as the king attempts to strike him, with the latter being able to avoid or block the first's attempts to throw him down.

*The platform Gid stands on starts to shake a bit*

Gid: *Notices While Fighting*

The king jumps away, with Kremant phasing inside the platform, with it then submerging inside the hot sauce, and with the first landing onto the next one. Kremant then emerges from that platform the king was now standing on, with the same fighting pattern starting once more.

*Ion and the others watch them from their platform above, as both keep on going from platform to platform below while fighting*

Zastin: *Sweat Drop* That Kremant sure is a capable being to be able to keep up with Gid-Sama's speed.

Ionas: And hit him with a pie in the end.

Zastin: *Upset* That was a cheap shot!

Ionas: Still got hit. *Bored* And I bet Kremant will probably mention right now how he never mentioned any rule being applied against such tricks.

Kremant (From Below While Fighting): *To Ion* *Loudly* *Seemingly Disappointed* Aww, you stole my line, you thief!

Ionas: *To Zastin* *Irritated Sigh* See?

Zastin: *Frustrated* Damn that ghost...

Ionas: *Weary-Like* Now you know firsthand my pain...

Meanwhile below at the arena, Kremant emerges at a different platform, crouches and places his hand inside the hot sauce beside him.

Kremant: *Grin* Hope you don't mind a little SPLASH!

By saying that, he begins pushing and throwing with each hand movement in the hot sauce waves of it at the king non-stop, with the latter jumping from platform to platform to avoid them all, before attempting to shoot lightning from his tail at Kremant while jumping on another one, with the first phasing through the platform to avoid it, and with the attack ending up hitting and exploding the said platform into pieces. After the king lands on the next one, he looks around, trying to spot where Kremant will appear.

Gid: (You will not hide forever, you-)

Kremant appears after a short delay at the farthest platform, behind from where the king stands at, falls on all four and starts drinking fast huge amounts of the hot sauce, with his body bloating more and more as he drinks from it. The king spots him, and makes a strong leap toward him, about to reach him as he is surrounded by electricity, preparing to throw what looks like an obliterating punch. The last moment, Kremant lifts his head, and forcefully expels searing gigantic flames from his "mouth", hitting the king's whole body, and pushing him along with them at an upward point, which have him end up at a force field right in front of a platform, filled with the Reshaped that are watching, and being now stuck between that and the continuous flaming fury.

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud*

Momo: *Real Concerned* Father!

Zastin: *Real Concerned* Gid-Sama!

My God, it's a lot more different than the first one! I can actually feel the intense heat this time, and from up here no less!

*Meanwhile, the Reshaped ghosts on the platform who are right in front of Gid, who is still stuck because of the continuous flames, now all wear sunglasses while watching him*

Random Reshaped: *Smile* Ooh, crispy!

Hope he is fireproof. As we were watching at the whole thing, we suddenly notice something moving fast inside the constant wave of flames from the opposite side, going toward Kremant. Once it reaches the point right in front of him, from the flames the king is shown to be "it", with him grabbing Kremant by the hood and pulling him upward into a strong jump along with him, and with Kremant stopping throwing flames when that happens.

Ionas: *Surprised* Ooh!

Gid: *To Kremant* Pitiful.

By saying that, he spins himself along with Kremant on hand, and then forcefully throws him straight down and splashing inside the hot sauce pool, with the king soon after shooting a strong lightning, while still on air, right into the said pool, electrifying it, and resulting into a big explosion that forcefully sprays hot sauce drops all around, which ends up falling as a short-lived rain, before the king lands onto one of the platforms again, while covering his eyes with one arm from the drops above for the duration.

Ionas: *Amazed* That was incredible!

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud*

And they agree too, oddly enough.

Momo and Rito: *Relieved*

Taking a better look at him, we see that the king's clothes were somewhat blackish because of the intense flames he was receiving all this time, but not really in a condition to call them ruined, oddly enough. He himself had a few black burned spots at some parts of his skin as well, but nothing serious really. That's some fire resistance, alright.

Zastin: *Proud* As expected of our king!

Says the person who was worried not long ag-

*The Reshaped band stops the music*

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Eh? Why did they sto-?

*Loud Heartbeat Sound From Beneath The Hot Sauce Pool*

The moment we hear that, the hot sauce hardens and changes into a dark-grey color, till it looks like a rocky ground.

Ionas: *Somewhat Concerned* That can't be good.

Kremant, having now his usual body-shape like before, phases from below the ground with unimaginable speed and into a standing posture upon the said ground at some distance from the king, looking at him in a seemingly serious manner, with the usual grin being nowhere to be seen upon his "face".

Gid: (It seems it will not be that simple to beat this one, like I did with Nemesis.)

Zastin: So, he is still standing. *Shrugs And Smiles* No matter. There is nothing that ghost can do to truly stand up to the Gid-Sama's greatn-

That moment, Kremant's eyes glow bright red for a moment.

Kremant: *Cheshire Grin Appears On "Face"*

The next moment, Kremant's head snaps fast with a loud cracking noise as it now faces the exact opposite angle of it's position, catching us all by surprise. The rest of his body changes too, making some really unsettling cracking soundings while at it. Kremant's chest slices open, and a big sideward human-like eye comes out from it to take place on the opening that was just created. Muscles around his body seem to appear and thicken, growing a bit in size himself. His entire lower half expands, and turns into a strong black-colored snake-like tail, which now supports the entire body. In his back three big holes open, with the "skin" around each growing fast outward, making them now resemble volcano "mouths". Two more sets of arms grow from his body's sides, with all three now sets bearing long thin red claws for fingers. And finally, both the eyes on his upside down face seemingly melt, with red drops like blood falling slowly and endlessly from them down onto the ground, his big grin, that is now above, turns into a circle full of his pointy teeth, and with a really long tongue filled with blade edges sticking out of the now forehead mouth.

*The gang is shocked for the duration*

The king was also surprised while Kremant was changing, but was able to find and keep his composure after he realized what the latter was doing. Kremant turned himself into a horrifying, f*cking eldritch abomination!

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud*

I look at Zastin angrily.

Ionas: *To Zastin* *Upset* You had to open your f*cking mouth, didn't you?

Zastin: *Still Shocked* ...

[The Reshaped band starts playing the music "Forza Finale" from "Kingdom Hearts 3"]

Kremant with tremendous speed rushes at the king, with the latter quickly blocking and avoiding the incoming slash attacks by pushing the first's arms aside with his own, and then spinning around, preparing for a kick, while at the same time using his sharp tail as he spins to cut off the first's long tongue, before doing a fast spinning roundhouse kick immediately after, striking the first onto his head, pushing it a bit to the side that way due to the force, and then following it fast with a strong punch straight to the big chest-eye, which hardly even moved Kremant, so much affect him.

Gid: *Surprised* Hm?!

Kremant's tongue grows back instantly.

Kremant (Eldritch Form): *Heavy Monstrous Voice* Not THAT squishy this time. TRY BETTER!

While saying that last bit, Kremant spins quickly and strikes the king to the stomach with his thick tail, sending him flying straight onto the wall behind.

*Gid Coughs some blood after the impact with the wall*

Momo: *Real Concerned* Father!

*Gid falls onto his feet after the impact, and places a hand on his stomach from pain*

Gid: *Shocked* (I haven't felt this kind of pain in a really long time!) *Looks Frustrated At Kremant* (That bastard is a lot stronger than he shows to be!)

Everyone were shocked and worried, with me being like-

Ionas: *Incredibly Surprised* Wait, that GHOST has MASS now?!

Gnostis: Well, he created this body of yours, so-

Ionas: Oh, right.

He should be able to make one for himself too, how stupid of me. Also things got real serious!

Kremant (Eldritch Form): *Moving And Checking The Claws At One Of His Hands In A Pompus Way* *Heavy Monstrous Voice* Wanted me serious, no?

Gid: *Irritated* You-

Kremant that moment vanishes and appears in an attacking posture in front of Gid, with the latter noticing and avoiding the last moment being stabbed by the claws by jumping above of the first, but as he is still in the air behind him, he notices the three volcano-like mouths onto the first's back inside glowing a strong white light. Realizing what that means, the king shoots a beam from his tail to the side, strong enough to move himself out of the way while in the air, just in time as the volcano mouths shoot their three beams in a straight and upward line as Kremant's back bends forward from the force, missing his target completely, and with the said beams exploding onto the ground and the force field they touch, showing their destructive force.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* That was close!

Ionas: *Concerned* Definitely not messing around anymore.

When the king lands onto the ground again, Kremant grabs with his bladed extended tongue one of the first's feet, making him grunt in pain because of the edges stabbing the skin, as the latter was slithering fast on his way, ready to attack with his claws while the other was unable to step away. The king not having time to react properly takes fast a defensive position, and tries to block and avoid in place as many of the fast incoming slashes as possible, with him ending up gaining more cuts upon his body and even parts of his face than he could stop, with his upper clothing being torn apart completely, leaving only the clothing on his waist and down intact so far.

Zastin: *Real Concerned* My liege!

*The gang watches in shock, while the Reshaped ghosts applaud like usual*

Gid: *Angry Grunt*

Having received enough, the king finds the chance and punches Kremant straight to the "face", forcing him to bend backward from the force, cuts the ghost's tongue with his tail like before to free his foot, then quickly leaps past him, grabs him by the middle of his thick tail, while emitting electricity from his entire body to stun Kremant for the duration while touching him, before he makes a spin and forcefully throw him with all his might real high into the air, going even farther than where OUR platform was, till we can barely see him. Not a second later, we see a strong light from above, and Kremant coming down with tremendous speed, using the volcano mouths on his back to shoot beams above in order to make his downward advance more powerful.

Gid: *Serious* I think I've had enough of you.

The king aims with his tail at the incoming Kremant who was halfway to reach him, and then immediately after, the first shoots in an instant a gigantic powerful beam from his tail, which hits the latter, as the beam itself reaches the highest point of the arena, maybe even beyond that! As he tries to resist and maintain his form, Kremant eventually torns into pieces, before even those vanish inside the intensity of the king's beam, annihilating him completely. After a moment, the king ceases the action, with the beam dissipating, and with Kremant being nowhere to be found.

[The Reshaped band stops the music]

The king was the only one standing inside the arena. Clawed almost everywhere, without a cloth to cover his torso, but overall fine and seemingly victorious.

Zastin: *Relieved* Phew!

Ionas: *To Zastin* You do realize your constant concerning shouts are getting ridiculous, right?

Zastin: *Sweat Drop* Can you blame me? This is the first time I saw Gid-Sama getting injured like... EVER!

The king at the moment touches one of the clawed injuries on his cheek, and quickly takes the hand away in stinging irritation.

Gid: *Irritating Feeling* This will be annoying to treat.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* I can't believe this...

Momo: Could... *Relieved Smile* Could it be that it is finally ov-?

Ionas: *Notices And Points Somewhere At The Arena* You~ should take a better look down there.

Everyone, including the king, see Kremant standing across the first, in his usual form, with his typical grin showing.

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud*

Momo: *Shocked* He is still... How can he still-?

Zastin: *Frustrated* After that kind of attack?!

I knew it would not be that simple. Unfortunately...

Kremant: *Chuckles*

Gid: *Irritated* Tsk! I was pretty sure your entire existence went into nothingness after being engulfed in all that.

Kremant: *Grin* If I was a ghost like Oshizu, most likely. That's right, Devi-King I know about the little piece of information you received from doc Mikado that one time, along with the theory that I'm the same. But I'm not.

Kremant turns his back on the king, looking at us above.

Kremant:The ghosts of this universe might vanish completely after using up all of their power, but from where I come from that's not the case. They say the souls that exist inside every human, are pieces of the one true god, pretty much making it look like we are our own small gods. They can break into many pieces, they can lose ALL of their power, if only for some time, but never truly be destroyed.

Zastin: *Upset* That's nonsenses!

Kremant: Now, I'm not really sure about the first one, but I can assure you I have already tested the latter ones myself to see if it's true. *Turns His Head To Look At Gid With A Grin* And it is.

Kremant turns around again, and walks toward the king.

Gid: So you say that no matter how hard I strike you down, you will just never disappear for good.

Kremant: *Grin* Exactly.

Kremant stops at an appropriate distance in front of the king.

Kremant: The funny thing is, that even if I could vanish the same way like Oshizu can, such a task would be nowadays so hard, that they should invent a new word about how much. I'm sure you're familiar already about the way I strengthen myself, with two of your daughters witnessing it, along with your funny commander of the royal guard.

Zastin: *Raises An Eyebrow* "Funny"?

Kremant: Also the fact that I can travel through the multiverse. I went to pretty much "devour" many people, special and not, for the powers and energies that were dwelling inside their bodies and souls in the past, not to mention all the special AND cursed items I have found in my way to do the same. Even curses are power to me.

That sounds really bloody unfair!

Kremant: I have already mentioned this before, but I met you all before more than once. You and I have fought multiple times on those other universes I have visited.

Kremant brings his "face" a little closer to the king's, with his eyes glowing bright red.

Kremant: *Cheshire Grin* How you think those fights went?

We look at each other up here in our platform, concerned about the thought, and about what might happen to us in the future as well, if Kremant decides to do so. I don't like the thought one bit, to see everything go to waste just like that!

Gid: I see... *Serious* Now I am sure, you're officially the most dangerous being I have ever encountered in my entire life.

Kremant: *Grin* Thanks for the recognition. Though, just so you know, I'm not always "the bad guy" wherever I go. There are times I'm actually "THE good" itself when I feel I should act as such to certain universes and worlds.

Imagining something like that after what I've been through all this time because of him, is just impossible.

Kremant: *Grin* Oh, by the way, I took a picture of us wearing each other's clothes just a moment ago.

While saying that, Kremant takes out of the cloak his phone, showing-

*The picture on the phone shows Kremant and some of his Reshaped friends partying in a beach*

Gid: *Raises An Eyebrow* ...

Kremant: *Looks at the picture himself and realizes* Oops, sorry, that's me and my friends partying about. *Excited* WE LOVE PARTYING!

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud*

Umm...

Kremant: Anyway, here is the one I meant about.

*Kremant shows from his phone now a picture of Gid wearing the first's cloak and hood, and him wearing the latter's clothing while posing like a karate fighter*

The king's face fills with surprise when he looks at it. Wait, so they really changed clothes like he said? When?!

Gid: How-?

Kremant: I can stop time.

We all are extremely surprised to hear that.

Ionas: *Extremely Surprised* You what?!

Kremant: *Looks At Ion above* *Loudly* How you think I pop out of nowhere all the time?

Ionas: ...

That... Actually explain a lot of things.

Gid: (Alright, no other choice left!) *Serious* *Loudly* Zastin!

Zastin: *Serious* Yes, Gid-Sama!

Zastin takes out a small pyramid-like device, which throws fast at the king below, who catches it. What is-?

Gid: *Serious* This time I will put you in your place, ghost.

The king presses part of the small device, and throws it right in front of Kremant's feet.

Kremant: I already know what this is. *Amused* Do you really think it can actually-?

The device opens, and starts sucking the air around, with Kremant being pulled fast toward it, with half his body being sucked inside the device, as he is struggling to hold himself with his hands pushing the ground to not let the rest of him get in as well.

Kremant: *Seemingly Troubled* Oh my, this is actually quite effective.

Wait, it is actually working?!

Gid: *Smug Smile* I'm sure you already know that, but I had a plan prepared just for you in case I meet you again. I had in mind you might prove to be more troublesome to deal with than I wanted, so I had this device made especially for energy-like beings such as yourself. If I can't beat you, I might as well seal you away.

Kremant: *Struggles To Keep Himself Out*

Gid: That's what you get for underestimating me, ghost. Now enjoy your little prison.

I'm not falling for that! Kremant is most likely acting to be in trouble, just so he can surprise us with one of his usual tricks or something!

Kremant: *Struggling To Stay Out* *Loudly* Rito!

When he yells for him, he raises a hand toward our platform, and Rito disappears, only to appear right in front of Kremant in an instant, grabbing him with the said hand and bringing the surprised Rito closer to him.

Momo: *Concerned* Rito-San!

Zastin: *Concerned* Rito-Dono!

Ionas: *Upset* I f*cking knew it!

We all jump off the platform, and fall down toward the ground.

Kremant: *To Rito*I have to tell you something before I become a ghostbusters' reference.

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Umm...

We land onto the ground, and start running fast toward them, hoping to reach in time. The king just stands there and watches. Why is HE doing nothing?! Kremant brings Rito closer to him, bringing his "mouth" close to the latter's ear.

Kremant: Ion loves Nana.

Rito: *Gasps From The Revelation*

Just before we reach them, Kremant lets Rito go, and let himself be pulled completely inside the device, before it closes itself shut. When that happens, I and Zastin stop confused, with Momo continuing to run toward Rito.

Ionas: *Confused* Oh... Ok...

Momo hugs Rito tightly in worry.

Momo: *Concerned* Rito-San, are you ok?

Rito: *Sweat Drop* *Blush* I-I am. He did nothing to me.

Momo: *Relieved* I'm glad...

Momo lets Rito go as we approach.

Ionas: *Confused* I'd swear he was going to pull you inside in his place or something.

Zastin: *Sweat Drop* That's what I thought too, actually.

The king approaches the device and picks it up as he looks at it.

Gid: So much for being "all powerful".

Zastin approaches the king, with the latter giving him the device.

Gid: The device worked as intended, and the target has been successfully contained, thankfully. *Serious* Make sure it stays that way.

Zastin: *Salutes* As you command, sir!

Ionas: So, is he really...?

Gid: If he is not out yet, then I can assure you that he is not getting out of there anytime soon.

Ionas: ... *Points at the device* *Aggressively Cheeky* IN YOUR INEXISTENT FACE, YOU ABHORRENT, SMART-A*S OF A DIRTBAG GHOST!

GOD, f*cking finally he is gone!

Momo: *Sweat Drop* So, not that I want to trouble you, but what about... *Looks at the seemingly infinite number of ghosts at the platforms above* Them?

Oh, right. I forgot about them.

Zastin: *Sweat Drop* ... Maybe we should-

*The Reshaped ghosts applaud, greatly confusing the gang that way*

Random Reshaped 1: Amazing!

Random Reshaped 2: What a match!

Radnom Reshaped 3: Everybody chant for the king!

*All the ghosts start chanting the first name of the king over and over in an excited way*

Gid: (That's... An unexpected reaction.)

That moment, Agathe, the blue female reshaped, floats down and toward the king, with Zastin being cautious about it.

Agathe: *Smile* You did great! I can't believe how amazing your dance together was!

Dance?

Gid: *Serious* ...

Agathe: Oh don't be all serious with me now, mister. Here, let me heal you and fix your clothes.

Gid: *Raises An Eyebrow* Do wha-?

Before anyone can react, she raises a hand, and a blue flash is emmited for a moment, illuminating the king. When it settles down, all the injuries Kremant caused to the king were healed, leaving no trace of their existence behind, with his clothes being fixed as well. We were all surprised by that.

Agathe: *Smile* There, good as new!

Gid: *Surprised* ... Why-?

Agathe: I'd love to talk more with you all, but we have to go. It was a nice show! *To All The Reshaped* *Loudly* Alright, everyone, let's all get back to the zone, hope you had as much of a great time as I had!

After saying that, the Reshaped ghosts leave through the same doors they entered from, with her going to her own platform's door as well, while waving "goodbye" at us. The doors close when the last ghost passes through, and then the walls vanish, revealing the desert of the cyberspace around us once more.

Gid: (What a weird bunch.)

Zastin: *Highly Confused* ... Wait, that's it?! They are, you know, not going to stop us or something? We captured one of their own for crying out loud!

Ionas: You sound like you wanted them to do so.

Zastin: *Sweat Drop* W-Well, not really, but-

Gid: Most likely they have a different way of thinking, being ghosts and all. It doesn't really matter, there is no report of those others doing anything against us, so we'll leave them at their own devises. For now.

Zastin: *Sweat Drop* *Salutes* A-As you wish, Gid-Sama.

Momo: Still, I can't believe it is actually over with Kremant.

Ionas: *Thinking* Yeah...

Though, now that I think about it-

Gid: *Serious* You, the Ion guy!

Ionas: Hm?

The king approaches me.

Momo: (Eh? What father wants with Ion?)

Gid: *To Ion* I have heard about your feats and constant struggle from the moment you appeared on Earth.

I'm sure about it, but where is this going?

Gid: You have protected my daughters on numerous occasions, putting your own life in the line to do so. For protecting the family which I hold so dear... I can't thank you enough.

Momo: Father...

The fact that he has shown just like that how much he actually cares for them, is quite surprising to me. I always thought he was nothing more but an uncaring father figure.

Ionas: *Smile* You would do the same for those who helped you when in need, no? They gave me everything, when I LOST everything. And for that, my obligation to them will never truly cease, even when I will eventually move out of the household, for whatever reason. My friends deserve as much by my perspective.

Rito: Ion...

Gid: I see... (So he is that kind of person.)

The king seems to be in deep thinking for the moment. Wonder what he is thinking about.

Gid: Ion... *Smile* Would you be interested in joining the Devilukian Royal Guard?

Ionad: *Surprised* ...

Momo: *Sweat Drop* What?!

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Join the Devilukian Royal Guard?! Ion?

Gid: *To Ion* We are always looking for men who can prove themselves, in order to keep the royal family safe, and the rest of the galaxy when needed.

The king places a hand on my shoulder.

Gid: You were able to actually do just that without much help till this day. Whether you are, or were an earthling, it doesn't matter to me.

Zastin: *Smile* (I can't disagree with my liege here. Ion has truly proven himself after everything that happened. I will be more than happy to welcome him to the Royal Guard.)

Gid: After some more tests on Deviluke, and some necessary paperwork, you will be ready to serve in no time. The position commands respect, the payment is good, and since you're so close to the family already, like you stated, it is sure that you will do your job effectively, and to the fullest without much slacking.

That couldn't be more true.

Gid: And who knows, maybe you will prove to be just as good as Zastin, and end up as his second in command.

He comes closer to whisper in my ear.

Gid: *Somewhat Irritated* Maybe even take his place, considering you will not neglect your actual duty like HE does for some drawings.

It's a surprise you allow him to keep his job while knowing that. The king pulls himself back and removes his hand from my shoulder.

Gid: So, what do you say? Will you be part of this?

Ionas: ... *Thinking* ...

That's actually very convenient. It was not long since I was talking about the future. If I agree with that, I will have a job that gives me money, AND I will get to be together with Nana while working. "The guard and his beloved princess". We will pretty much be a working couple with this! Though...

Zastin: (Why Ion even thinks about it? To be invited by the king himself after being recognized for his skills is-)

Ionas: *To Gid* King, I appreciate the offer. But-

Zastin: *Surprised* "But"?! *Offended* What do you mean "bu-"?!

Gid: *Real Serious* Don't interrupt, Zastin! Let him speak his reason.

Zastin: *Sweat Drop* So- *Salutes* Sorry, Gid-Sama!

Ionas: *To Gid* As I was saying, before I take any "world-changing choice" I must first take care of something of importance where I am now. Not sure when it will be done, but once that's over with, I will give you my answer.

Momo: (I wonder what he is talking about.)

Gid: ... Very well. I can respect that. Take as much time as you need. But I want an answer after that is finished with.

Ionas: Sure things. By the way, for what reason you didn't try to help Rito when Kremant-

Gid: The device is designed to trap only beings of energy. Someone like him wouldn't-

Ionas: Ah ok, I get it now.

And I thought he didn't care about his safety at all after what happened with Nemesis. He is a much better person than I have known from the anime.

Ionas: You know, I gained some respect for you after this little talk of ours.

Gid: *Raises An Eyebrow* You say that like you were not thinking much of me. Where is that coming from?

Ionas: *Bored* You're a womanizer.

Zastin: *Sweat Drop* I-Ion!

Gid: *Rolls Eyes* *To Ion* Oh come on, I'm THE king, I pretty much have the right. It's understandable for me to act as such.

Ionas: Your wife still doesn't approve.

Gid: *Sigh* I know~...

...

Gid: Well, I think we stayed long enough. Zastin, release the space, we are leaving.

Zastin: *Salutes* Right away!

The king turns around, and then turns his head to look at me again.

Gid: *Smile* I will await for your answer with anticipation. We need men like you.

After saying that, the cyberspace around brightens with an almost blinding light, and then me and Rito see ourselves back to the town, at the rooftop we were some time ago. Momo must have been transferred back to the house along with Peke.

Ionas: Well, that was some adventure we had today again. Right, Rito?

As I look at him, I see him being concerned while looking with his face down at himself. Still worries about Nemesis pretty much.

Ionas: I'm sure there is nothing to worry about her. Well, for her health that is.

Rito: I hope so.

Ionas: Feeling anything weird after the fusion?

Rito: Not really. I don't feel anything strange so far.

Ionas: *Thinking* Hmm...* Probably she is sleeping, if that's even possible being inside you as energy and all. Anyway, let's get going. We have and a house to go to.

Rito: Right.

And with that, we went down, and then walk on our way for the house. It was quite the surprise to be offered to become one of the king's royal guards, but if I am to take such decision, I first need to see what I will do with Nana. If she accepts my confession, then I will take the job without a second thought. If she doesn't, then taking the job will just make this weird between us, and I don't want her to feel uncomfortable. I hope she will accept me. It will make things a lot more easier for both of us that way. A sure job for me, and a strong loyal guard for her to feel safe with.

Ionas: *Concerned* ...

Thinking about Kremant... Frankly... I don't think we have seen the last of him. Nothing is EVER that simple with him. Speaking of which-

Ionas: Say, Kremant seemed to be telling you something while holding you close. *Raises An Eyebrow* What did he say to you?

Rito: *Sweat Drop* Umm... *Smile* N-Nothing really. Just silly stuff really. *Awkward Laugh*

Ok, he is definitely hiding something he shouldn't! I grab him with both hands on his shoulders and bring him close, showing him my mean look.

Ionas: *Serious* What. Did that ghost. Told you?

Rito: *Sweat Dropping Like Crazy* Um-Umm...

Ionas: *Serious* If it was any other person, I would have respected the fact you want to keep it hidden. But this is Kremant we are talking about! *Real Serious* If you don't tell me what that ectoplasmatic piece of sh*t told you, I will "tirade you" so hard, that your soul itself will puke from the seer force it will receive from it!

Rito: *Scared* OK, OK, I'LL TELL YOU, I'LL TELL YOU!

He tells me that Kremant told him about my crush on Nana.

Ionas: *Shocked* ... *Real Upset* SON OF A BI-!

~Somewhere In Space~At An Intergalactic Prison~

*Zastin just landed, and gets out of the spaceship along with his two underlings. He was holding the pyramid device which contains Kremant. They all walk toward the seemingly steel gates, which are guarded by two guards. They stop in front of them*

Guard: *Salutes* We were expecting your arrival, commander Zastin of the Devilukian Royal Guard.

Zastin: Good. *Extends The Device Toward Him* This is the one we contacted you about.

*The said guard takes the device*

Zastin: *Serious* Get the prisoner to the deepest level. Make sure he will never see the light again.

Guard: Yes, sir!

*Zastin and his men turn around and head back to their spaceship to leave, with the guard going past the gates, walking through a long hallway. After walking a little bit more, the guard reaches an elevator, and presses the button to call it up. While he waits, he doesn't notice a small amount of almost transparent grey smoke escaping from the device he was holding. When the elevator comes, he steps in, and presses another button to head down to the deepest level, not being aware of what happened. The smoke phases through the floor, and heads some floors down. The scene then shows the blond-haired Azenda, wearing an orange colored prisoner uniform, sitting inside her cell on the bed, clearly frustrated about her current situation*

Azenda: *Hatred* Just you wait, Golden Darkness, once I find a way to get out of this prison, I will destroy everything you hold dear...

*While she was plotting her revenge she notices some smoke coming through the upper part of her door*

Azenda: Eh- *Sweat Drop* Wait, a gas leak?!

*As she moves away, with her back on the wall to avoid it as much as possible, the supposed "gas" reforms inside her cell, till it takes the form of Kremant, who is looking at her with his characteristic grin, and with his hands behind his back*

Azenda: *Looks At him up and down confused* ... Wh-?

Kremant: Hello there, Azenda the tyrant. I'm here to offer you a deal I'm sure you will find... *Eyes Flash Bright Red* Intriguing. *Cheshire Grin*

---

Agathe: What a show, huh?

Deinos: It was nice. But it kinda bugs me the fact that he had to lose on purpose just for a trick.

Gnostis: Kremant does whatever he believes that has to be done. His purpose is known, after all.

Deinos: I know, I know. Next time on To Love-Ru: Fight And Rush!

Agathe: Wanna go party at a beach. I know a good plane~t!

Deinos And Gnostis: We are in!
