{EPILOGUE}
~Early In The Morning~At Rito's House~
*Momo has already woken up and walks downstairs. Once at the living room, she notices both Nana and Ion alone sitting on the couch, hugging one another, [I think it is called cuddling, but I want to be careful.] obviously being lovey-dovey*
Momo: *Irritated* Ugh.
*She approaches them annoyed*
Momo: *Irritated* You're like this from last day's party. If you love each other so much, just get a room you two already.
Ionas: *Cheeky* Well, we ARE already in a room, so technically-
Momo: *Annoyed* Don't you start with me, Mr. Smarty Pants! I at least expect YOU to know very well what I mean.
Ionas: *Amused Chuckle*
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Umm, what are you two talking about?
Ionas: I'll tell you later. *Wink* Nothing that shocking, don't worry.
Nana: Ok... *Smile* Speaking of shocking, I can't believe everything that happened the last day. A large invasion force was close to reach the planet, and was completely obliterated along with every single one of those robots in existence. I saved you from a deadly shot that hit ME instead.
Ionas: *Gloomy* Please don't remind me, it was an awful moment.
Nana: Which said shot was not deadly to me and I got back on my feet.
Ionas: *Real Thankful* Thank the almighty for that.
Nana: I got to you in time to save you, AND the planet from exploding. And then... *Blush* We confessed our love for one another... *Happily Excited* It was so great to have been able to finally do that after so long!
Ionas: *Smile* Same.* Also yes, all of those moments were indeed quite the shock. But, what is also shocking, is the fact that both of us were in love with each other from way before, and none of the two knew about it till now! *Irritated* We could have saved us a lot of lost time, and spared us from a lot of anxiety, if we only knew about it earlier. *Annoyed* It's so bloody stupid!
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Yeah, it IS stupid. *Facepalm* We are SO stupid.
Ionas: And the case pretty much like Rito's and-
Rito: Eh, what about me?
*Ion and Nana turn around to notice Rito behind them, having just come in the room from upstairs, and with the first two and Momo being shocked about it*
Ionas: *Troubled* (Sh*t!)
Momo: *Sweat drop* *To Rito* Ah- You see, Ion was talking about...
Ionas: We were talking about your fall tendencies, and how the case reminds me of a silly character from an anime. *Amused Smile* You could say it was like seeing a second YOU.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* A-Ah, I see...
Momo: *Sweat Drop* (HOW DOES HE KEEPS ON FINDING THESE EXCUSES TO COVER FOR EVERYTHING?!)
Ionas: *Amused* (If they only knew I was referring to himself from the anime- LOL!)
Nana: *Relieved* (Phew, that was really close.)
Momo: *Somewhat Frustrated* Alright, you two, enough playing around, time to go prepare for school.
Ionas: *Remembers* Oh right, we have school today.
*Ion breaks the hug and looks at Nana*
Ionas: *To Nana* Now listen, Nana, *Wink* my little pigeon.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* (I'll guess that's a greek thing too.)
Ionas: I know that we love each other a lot, but you should remember that during school we'll need to respect its rules, and avoid provoking Yui by accident because of that. Need to think and our Disciplinary Committee career.
Nana: *Blushing And Annoyed* O-Obviously! You don't have to tell me something like that, I'm not stupid!
Ionas: *Smile* Good! *Lovey Dovey* Now come here to have you for a bit more while there is still some time before school.
*He says that as he hugs her once more, with her doing then the same with a smile*
Nana: *Lovey Dovey* Aww~, you're such a huggable bear.
Ionas: Is that title necessary?
Nana: Shut up, it suits you.
Momo: *Frustrated* I think I'm gonna puke. *Weary-Like* Going upstairs to change first...
*She says that as she goes back upstairs*
Rito: *Sweat Drop* O-Ok. See you down.
Nemesis (Through Rito's Mind): *To Rito* (Someone is jealou~s.)
Rito: (Of Ion and Nana? Now isn't that a bit-?)
Nemesis (Through Rito's Mind): *To Rito* *Mischievous* (Maybe if you go cuddle with her as well, that will cheer her up.)
Rito: *Flustered* (Wh-What are you saying all of a sudden?!)
Nemesis (Through Rito's Mind): *To Rito* *Laughs* (You're laughable as always!)
Rito: *Sigh*
Ionas: *Looks At Rito for a bit before focusing to his hugging session again* (Even I can understand by his reactions that he is being flustered by Nemesis. Hopefully she will leave his body once she is "recharged" and will not turn this into something awful. I don't trust those mischievous characters that much. Anyway, I should now focus on Nana's happiness now that the insectbots are out of the way. And I know just the thing! Once we are back from school, I will ask Nana and her sisters to allow me a call with their father, the king of Deviluke, so I can tell him that I accept his deal to become one of his family's royal guards like he asked me to before. I will have an income that way, AND be close to Nana! And with her sisters but Nana is the focus here. That's how it is sure to go! Nothing can ruin this perfect plan! Looking forward to her surprised face once I reveal this to her later!)
~Some Time Later~
*Everyone was prepared for school, and all of them just gathered in the house's hallway*
Ionas: *Smile* Everybody ready I see. Let's go then!
*Ion opens the door while rushing out, and Zastin appears as he was about to seemingly knock the door, and hits Ion once to the nose instead, making him back away a bit startled and in pain while covering his face*
Ionas: *In pain* Ouch! What the hell?!
Zastin: *Sweat Drop* Oops, a thousand apologies, friend Ion, I didn't mean to!
*Everyone, except Ion who is still covering his face, seems surprised for a moment, seemingly looking at something past Zastin*
Ionas: *Uncovers his face annoyed* Your reason better not be stupid or I'll-! *Notices With Surprise*
*What Ion and the rest see, is the king of Deviluke himself, Gid, along with a bunch of black suited devilukian guards in two lines behind him*
Gid: Ion. I'll guess that you're doing well.
*Other than Rito and Momo, the rest of the gang is surprised by the fact that Ion and Gid know each other*
Ionas: Well, despite the previous thing, *Smile* all good and well.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Ion, from where do you know father?
Ionas: (Do I still need to keep the secret about Neme-?)
Zastin: I'm sorry, Nana-Sama, but you and Ion will have to leave it for later. Gid-Sama, your father, is here for a really important matter concerning Lala-Sama.
Nana: Big sis?
Ionas: *Curious* (I wonder what is this about.)
*Gid approaches his daughter Lala, both of them serious-looking, with everyone being concerned in their own way*
Ionas: *Surprised* (Seeing Lala having a serious face is real surprising! What could this possibly be about for the atmosphere to be even somewhat intense around them?)
Gid: *Serious* Are you really sure about your decision?
Lala: *Serious* Yes I am.
Gid: *Intensely Serious* You do realize that once this happens there is nothing you can do to change it from then on, right, daughter of mine?
*The intensity can be felt from the others. Whatever this is about, it's serious business*
Lala: *Determined* We have already talked about it. I'm not changing mind, and that's that.
Gid: ... *Frustrated Sigh* I can't believe this... Very well. *Serious* In this case, Lala Satalin Deviluke! As king of Deviluke, and with yourself having declared it with your own free will and clear determination, I hereby strip you of your rights as the first princess!
*Everyone exclaims a big "WHAT" after hearing that, with Lala as exception, shocked and confused with the whole thing*
Gid: *Serious* But, to avoid unnecessary chaos, you will still retain your status as a princess, in the case your presence is most needed.
Lala: *Smile* Ok, dad.
Ionas: Seriously. What... *Extremely Confused* In the HELL! Is going on?!
Zastin: She told you nothing? Last day Lala-Sama declared her resignation as the first princess.
Everyone Else: *Extremely Surprised* She "WHAT"?!
Zastin: It was a real shock for us too. *Disbelief* To think she would do something like that is just...
Why, though?!
Gid: *As he approaches Nana* And for that reason... YOU, Nana Astar Deviluke!
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Um- Y-Yes?
Gid: *Serious* ... You're officially from here on first in the line for the throne. And to become the next queen!
Nana: ... *Surprised Beyond Belief* EEHHH~?!
*The others exclaim the same thing after her, with Lala and Ion as exceptions*
Ionas: ... *ION-EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING*
Nana: *In disbelief and not sure how to feel* Wha- Eh- Wh- *Grabs Lala by the shirt* WHY DID YOU DO THAT, BIG SIS?!
*Lala calmly takes Nana hands off her shirt and hold them together*
Lala: *Smile* For you, of course.
Nana: Eh?
Lala: The last day I heard the talk you two had, and I just couldn't help but feel touched.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Eh? What talk?
Lala: *Smile* I always thought of you as someone capable and responsible, Nana. *Sweat Drop* More than I could ever be, let's be honest. I mean, I never really liked the whole "princess" thing to begin with.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* B-But-!
Momo: *To Lala* *Highly Troubled* You can't do that!
*Everyone looks at Momo*
Momo: *Highly Troubled* Big sister, this is just... What about Rito? Unless he is to becomes THE king, he will never be able to take both you and Haruna!
Rito: *Blush* M-Momo!
Momo: *Highly Troubled* *To Lala* Not to mention the oth-!
Lala: *Smile* It's ok, Momo.
Momo: Eh?
Lala: I know after all that neither Rito really wanted all this trouble with leading duties and such. That way, he will not have to face all that fuss in the future anymore and be more relaxed and happy.
Rito: Lala...
Gid: *Annoyed* (That only makes me more annoyed considering-)
Lala: Plus-
*Lala goes close to Rito and clings onto his arm, while placing her head onto his shoulder*
Lala: *Smile* As long as I know that Rito loves me as well, we can find a way to make this work even without him becoming the king!
Rito: *Sweat Drop* *Blush* H-Hey!
Momo: *Ultimate Disbelief* No way... The plan...
*Momo says that to herself as she turns around, and crouching down while holding her head*
Nana: ... *Sigh* *To Lala* You always find the most crazy ways to make things go the way you want, eh, big sis? *Smile* In any case, I will not go against your wishes. If that's what you really want, then so be it.* *Sweat Drop* Not that I have any say in the matter at this point, really.
*Lala lets Rito and tackle-hugs Nana*
Lala: *Big Smile* Thank you, Nana! You will make a great queen, I'm sure of it!
Nana: *Awkward Smile* I-If you say so, big sis...
Ionas: *Snaps back to reality* *Still Greatly Surprised* (Are you seriously telling me this is not a joke?!)
Gid: If you're quite finished, Nana, I will have you prepare your things and come back to Deviluke with me.
Nana: Eh?
*Lala unhands Nana and backs away a bit*
Gid: Due to Lala's "resignation", you will need to be taught thoroughly about your new soon to be position more than ever! Also, we need to find you someone to become the next king once you're ready with said studies.
Ionas: (Excuse me?)
Gid: You should be able to gain some suitors by then, despite the lack of-
Nana: UMM-! *Blush* Actually...
Gid: What? *Serious* Look, I know all this is too sudden, but-
Nana: *Sweat Drop* No, no! I understand that, but... *Blush* I already have someone in my life...
Gid: ... *Raises An Eyebrow* You do?
Lala: *Realizes* Ah right, I forgot to mention it. *Smile* Ion is Nana's boyfriend now!
Nana: *Blushing And Troubled* Big sis, not so loud!
Gid: Really? *To Ion* Is this true, Ion?
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* A- Y-Yes, it's true.
Gid: *Actually Surprised* ... *Leans toward Zastin to whisper to him* This was a lot easier than I expected. And in a surprising way.
Zastin: *Sweat Drop* Indeed, my liege.(When did this happen?! All I remember from last day was that I lost consciousness, them carrying me at the house, then the party, which I considered to be about our grand victory. I do remember also Ion and Nana-Sama being quite cuddly with each other, but I considered it as just a close friend thing! How did I not realize a deeper meaning like this?!)
*Gid approaches Ion, and stands right in front of him, looking him straight in the eyes, with the second trying to stay serious and not troubled, before the first places a hand onto his shoulder*
Gid: *Smile* To think that the one I was planning to make into one of the royal guards, would instead end up as the next king of Deviluke... I don't think you can surprise me more than this.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Ion will become king of Deviluke?!
Mikan: *Sweat Drop* Well, I mean it was expected considering all that, don't you think?
Ionas: ... *To Gid* Wait, wait!
*Ion says as he backs away from Gid's hold*
Ionas: *Troubled* Are you really going to have ME as your king?
Gid: Obviously... *Anger Intensity Raising* Or are you perhaps saying-?
Ionas: *Serious* DON'T take this the wrong way, King! I LOVE Nana more than anything and I even dare you to prove me a liar.
Nana: *Blushing And Smiling* Aww~.
Ionas: *To Gid* But what kind of king will I be? *Serious And Troubled* I lose control and transform every time I get real distressed! Just yesterday I almost destroyed the town, and THAT close the rest of the world. AGAIN! I can hardly control it the way it is...
Gid: *Thinking* I see your point.* Though-
Kremant: *Enthusiastic* Did someone say "gifts"?!
*Everyone's attention is on Kremant, who appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the gang, making them back away a bit startled, and with the devilukian guards noticing as well and surrounding them with their guns ready and aiming at Kremant*
Lala: *Sweat Drop* Um, not really.
Kremant: *Grin* Too bad, cause I'm here to offer!
Gid: *As he signs to his guards to be at ease* Like Zastin said, you're indeed free. *Serious* Should I use my full power upon you this time?
Ionas: *Real Concerned* (Oh sh*t.)
Kremant: Now hold your horses, ex-king wannabe! I am here only to give some early wedding gifts for Ion and your daughter here. Not every encounter should be labeled as hostile now. *Wink* Trust the fact that I never lied.
Ionas: *To Gid* *Bored* Just leave it to me- *To Kremant* *Annoyed* Alright, let's see what to expect this time with you!
Kremant: *Grin* Damn. Call about cold. Anyway, *Looks At Nana* first a gift for your future, cute little wife.
Nana: *Looks The Other Way Annoyed* Even if you flatter me, I want nothing from you.
Kremant: Even if that's granting any type of request you might have for yourself, or- Let's say, *Grin* the one you love?
Nana: Hu-? *Looks at him fast*
Kremant: *Big Grin* Interested now, are we? So, what do you say? Or perhaps you still don't-?
Nana: *Serious* Make Ion to never transform against his will ever again!
Ionas: *Oddly Surprised* Wha-?
Kremant: *To Nana* Done!
*Kremant snaps his fingers, and a black orb of energy comes out of Ion, causing surprise, which goes straight onto his hands, and then gulping it whole*
Kremant: Delicious negative energy. One of my favorites. And before you ask, yes, that out of control transformation sequence will not bother Ion again, in case it was not obvious enough.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* For real?
Kremant: For real.
Nana: *Smile*
Ionas: *To Kremant* *Annoyed* Son of a-!
*Ion goes right in front of Kremant*
Ionas: *Irritated* You knew she will ask for that the moment you mentioned ME, and at the moment I just started talking about it, instead of something for herself. You bloody, dirty manipulator! I would say more appropriate to your case names, but Celine and Mikan are present and I try to respect that.
Kremant: *Wink* Hey, not my fault if she loves you THAT much.* You should be thankful that now you see just how much she wants you close to her, and that you don't have a reason to decline your position beside her anymore.
Ionas: ... *Irritated* You're lucky I can't argue with that.
Kremant: Now tell me something YOU would like. It can be anything.
Ionas: *Thinks For A moment* Hmm... *To Nana* Nana, want anything?
Nana: *Shakes Head* No, I don't want anything. Choose something for yourself. *Blushing And Smiling* After all, you're all I could wish for.
Ionas: *Pleased by the warmth of it* Aww~.
*Nana notices the rest of the gang around her, except Momo who is still in her own little crisis, and how they are smiling at her*
Nana: *To The Rest* *Blushing And Annoyed* Wh-What? I didn't say anything weird or anything! *Crosses Arms And Looks The Other Way* Leave me alone!
*The rest of the gang chuckles a bit at Nana's reaction. Ion thinks a bit more, and seems to have finally decided what he wants*
Kremant: So?
Ionas: *Serious* What I want, is for YOU, to remove those stupidly weird reactions I get when I drink, eat, or receive in any other way anything that can cause them. Like that moment when I drank that green devilukian drink and went crazy, or like all those time I smelled those-
Kremant: I get what you mean, no need for details this time. Gonna take some time though.
*Kremant snaps his fingers, and it seems as if nothing happened*
Ionas: *Looks around his body, seeing nothing unusual* *Confused* Umm-
Kremant: All done. You should be totally immune to those now.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Didn't you say it's gonna take-?
Kremant: It did. *Wink* But I can stop time, remember?
Ionas: *Bored* Ah, right. (F*cking smart-*ss.)* I guess I should test it then. *To Nana* Nana?
Nana: Yes?
Ionas: *Hand Extended Toward Her* Do you still have one of those special drinks stored in your D-Dial?
Nana: Ah, you mean the- *Sweat Drop* *In A Hurry* Yeah, just a moment!
*Nana brings out her D-Dial and brings out the devilukian sports drink Ion was referring to, extending it to him*
Nana: Here you go.
Ionas: Thanks, sweetie.
*Ion grabs it as Nana is blushing and being all lovey dovey about how Ion just called her. He looks at the drink for a moment, thinking about it as he looks at the grinning Kremant*
Ionas: (Let's trust without further hesitation now.)
*Ion starts drinking it whole, entire sips as if he was thirsty, till it is empty and gasps as he moves the small container away of his mouth. Then, he waits, along with everyone who watches with concern and anticipation*
Ionas: ...
...
Ionas: ... *Serious* *To Gid* I'm bloody in, king of Deviluke.
Nana: *Gasps Happy* *Triumphantly* Ion is alright!
Lala: *Happy* Alright!
Gid: *To Ion* *Pleased* Aah, great to see there is no problem anymore.* Though, I'm still not sure about this ghost here.
Kremant: *Thumbs Up* Worry not, already going home. *To Ion And Nana* *Happily* See you, lovebirds, enjoy life!
*Kremant vanishes into thin air as usual after finishing*
Ionas: Is he vanishing way too fast recently, or is it just me?
Nana: Who cares? Say, can you believe it? You and I are gonna become king and queen! *Awkward Smile* I'm not sure if I should feel happy or scared.
Ionas: *Smile* Oh, don't you worry, Nana, everything is gonna be-
*A quiet sound gets Ion's attention, and looks behind at the gang, along with them, and see how Momo is still crouched down and in her quiet crisis, with him knowing well the reason*
Ionas: ... *Sigh*
*Ion give the empty container back to Nana, and then he approaches Momo, before crouching beside her*
Ionas: Once I become king, I will make a special rule for Rito so he can legally have his own harem in case he wishes to.
Momo: *Snaps Back To Reality Surprised* Eh?
*Everyone else from the gang also exclaims a big "Eh" after hearing that, before Momo turns to grab him by his shoulders*
Momo: *Getting her hopes up* You mean it?! You really mean it?!
Ionas: *Frustrated* Yes! I bloody mean it! Now get the hell up, you fool of a woman!
*Ion gets up along with Momo, and she hugs him suddenly and happily, surprising Nana*
Momo: *Beyond Happy* You're not as heartless as I thought you are about it. Thank you for giving m- My sister and Rito a better chance in this! You're a good person! May your reign always be peaceful and joyous!
Ionas: *Frustrated Sigh* (You're lucky I took pity on you, you thirsty as f*ck succubus...)
Lala: *Smile* Aah, you heard that, Rito? You can still marry as many as you'd like without problem, and not having to worry about any king's duties on top of that! Isn't that great?
Rito: *To Ion* *Sweat Drop* I-Ion!
*Ion pushes Momo away from him, making her end up onto Lala's hands who stops her in time*
Ionas: *Real Upset* SHUT IT! It's YOUR fault for making things more confusing than they should be from the very beginning! Be lucky that I'm even going through with this BS, and don't insult me any further!
Rito: *Sweat Drop* O-Ok...
*Nana gets close to Ion, and pulls his sleeve, which he notices and bends down to hear her whisper*
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Are you for real with-?
Ionas: *Annoyed* Unless you prefer seeing your sister all depressed-like!
Nana: *Sigh* I see, she is too hopeless, isn't she?
Ionas: *Bored* Big time.
*Both of them straighten up again*
Ionas: *To Gid* Alright, so what are we supposed to do now that it's official?
Gid: Before that, did you make the proper proposal?
Ionas: The proposal? You mean the one with the knee bend? No offence, sir, we already said to each other the "I love you" part, but greeks do NOT knee-
Gid: No, no, I mean the devilukian one.
Ionas: *Confused* The devilukian?
*Ion looks at Nana, who's exclaims that moment out of embarrassment while covering her small chest and blushing*
Ionas: *Remembers* *Shocked* Wait! You mean-?! (Like from that scene in the first episode of the actual series?!)
*Thinks to himself as he recalls the bathroom scene between Rito and Lala, and him touching her chest*
Gid: You need to touch her chest, yes. (What there is to touch, at least.) You have already proposed the normal way to each other as you said, so-
Ionas: *Troubled* Can't we skip it? I mean, you said you know that both of us are already-
Gid: *Serious* That is the rule! Now get on with it, and don't delay any further!
Ionas: *Highly Troubled* Bu-! *To Nana* Nana?
Nana: *Greatly Blushing And Real Awkward* I-It's ok. I-It's something that has to be done, I-I understand. G-Go ahead!
*She says that last bit as she brings her front a bit more forward, and closing her eyes shut*
Ionas: ... *Inhales* (My God, what must I do in front of everyone just to propose...)
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Oh boy. (I understand his embarrassment considering...) (I feel sorry for him.)
Nemesis (Within Rito's Mind): *To Rito* (Cause hers are small in comparison to-?)
Rito: *Sweat Drop* (Wh- NO! That's not it!)
Ionas: *To Gid* Wait, what about her age? Isn't she still somewhat young to marry? I mean, she is only-
Gid: Fifteen. Her age is fine for marriage, and even if she was a bit younger, I can assure you that it would still be acceptable by Deviluke's standards.
Ionas: *Surprised* (Are you for real with that bullsh*t I just heard?!)
*Ion stands there looking at Nana, who is still waiting the way mentioned above, and tries to get a hold on himself*
Ionas: ... *To Gid* *Frustrated* Just so you know, I'm changing that stupid rule as soon as I'm in charge.
Gid: *Shoulder Shrug* Suit yourself. You'll be king, you can do whatever you want from then on. Now go on.
Ionas: Alright... *Turns his attention to Nana* Ready, Nana?
Nana: *Real Embarrassed and still not looking* J-Just hurry up, please.
*Ion lifts his arms, and approaches his palms slowly closer and closer to Nana's chest. But just as he is about to, he lower his hands*
Ionas: *Sigh* *To The Gang Around* Is it necessary for you all to look?
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Um-
Gid: *To Ion* *Serious* I want to see with my own eyes the proposal done right, so I will keep on looking.
Ionas: *Troubled* Nice father you're, seeing your dau-!
Kremant: *From a distance loudly* Come o~n!
*Everyone looks at the distance ahead, and notice Kremant on top of a building*
Kremant: *To Ion* *From afar loudly and cheeky-like* DO IT, YOU P*SSY! NO BALLS! NO BA~LLS!
*Ion gets real annoyed by Kremant's provocation, and forces his hands onto Nana's small chest, startling her, with everyone witnessing it. After a few seconds, he pulls his hands back*
Ionas: *To Gid* *Annoyed* There! Happy?
Gid: Very. After a pass of three days, *Smile* you can officially call yourself welcomed in our family.
Ionas: Good.
*Ion looks at Nana again, and sees how she is seemingly all embarrassed having herself being touched like that in front of everyone*
Ionas: You alright there?
Nana: Ah- *Awkward Smile* Y-Yeah, don't worry about it. I'm actually happy now that we are official engaged.
Ionas: Oh. *Awkward* You worried me for a moment there.* *Smile* Yeah, I'm happy as well.
*Lala hugs Nana from behind*
Lala: *Happy* Congratulations on your engagement, Nana!
Momo: *To Nana* *Smile* I'm happy you were able to achieve the one you love, AND become queen on top of that. *Jealous But Smiling* I'll be a liar if I said I am not jealous.
Nana: *Awkward Smile* I-I see. Thanks. *Awkward Laugh*
Ionas: (Who would have thought that this kind of event could ever occur?! Me and Nana. King and queen. I can hardly hide my excitement the more I actually think about it!)
Gid: *Somewhat Perverted* Well, since it's going to take a while, I might as well take a look around since I'm here and-
Sephie: And do "what", dear?
*Gid gets shocked for a moment, before turning around startled to witness one of his royal guards holding a flat screen, showing his wife's face, with everyone else also surprised*
Gid: *Sweat Drop* S-Sephie!
Royal Guard: *Sweat Drop* I'm sorry, sir, it was an order.
Sephie (Via Screen): *To Gid* *Smiling But Angry* Were you going to do something you shouldn't behind your wife's back, dear?
Gid: *Sweat Drop* N-N-No! Truly now. Just a... *Awkward Smile* A simple look around this small earthling town, that's all.
Sephie (Via Screen): Oh really? Well, in that case you will not mind if I stick around, playing the tourist along with you, right?
Gid: *Sweat Drop* Ah...
Sephie (Via Screen): *Smiling But Angry* Right?
Gid: *Sweat Drop* O-Of course, dear! Obviously not going to mind at all. Yeah...
Ionas: *Amused Pfft* (What an amusing sight to look at. Also surprisingly, and even though her veil is in the way, that Sephie can become quite the scary woman when she wants to, despite her usual regal personality.)
Lala: *To Sephie* *Happy* Mama!
Sephie (Via Screen): *Smile* Ah, Lala, everyone! Happy to see you all once more. I must say, I was most concerned after hearing about how you decided to abandon the throne. But...
*Sephie looks at Nana and Ion*
Sephie (Via Screen): *Smile* I guess I understand why. *To Nana* You were finally able to be honest with your feelings, weren't you, Nana?
Nana: *Blush* Y-Yes, mom.
Sephie (Via Screen): *Smile* I'm happy for you. *To Ion* I guess that means I get to call you "son" now, Ion.
Ionas: *Thinking* Well, in a sense...
Sephie (Via Screen): You're both lucky to have each other. And you should be really thankful to Lala for doing such a thing for you.
Ionas: Definitely! I mean, she didn't really have to, but yeah. *Smile* And I know just the things to gift her with as a way to thank her. First, a nice detailed bone-statue of whatever she wants to look at every day. And second, *To Everyone* is anyone familiar with the greek cuisine?
*Everyone in their own way gives a negative answer*
Ionas: *Smile* Then prepare to be amazed, cause once we have the time, I'm taking you all in a tour to Greece, and it's best restaurants' greek dishes!
*Everyone is quite interested at what Ion said, especially Lala*
Lala: *Excited* I'm SO looking forward to it!
Ionas: *Smile* Then it's a promise!* By the way, what was the talk you were referring to before. You know, the one Nana and I had, which was one of the reasons to make the decision to give the throne to us?
Lala: Oh, that. *Smile* When you said that you will make her queen, of course.
Ionas: *Remembers* Wha- That was- *Annoyed* I was talking metaphorically, you-!
Mea: *From Afar* Hey, gu~ys!
*Everyone looks at the distance, and sees Mea, in her school uniform, flying their way, before landing close to them*
Nana: Mea! What are you doing here? Were you not supposed to be at school now?
Mea: I was, but then I felt something as if Ion was using too much energy again, and thought there was trouble.
Ionas: Ah, probably when Kremant was doing his thing on me. Don't worry, no trouble this time.
Mea: *Smile* Good to know. Also, I see that we have quite the crowd here.
*She says as she looks around, and then her attention going to Gid, and Sephie in the screen*
Mea: *Smile* The king and queen of Deviluke in the flesh! Well, sort of.
Gid: I suppose you're Mea. Or do you prefer "Red-Haired Mea"?
Mea: *Smile* Just Mea would be fine, thanks.
Sephie (Via Screen): So, YOU are the "Mea" Nana told me about. It's nice to see the one she calls her "best friend" finally. My daughter was always telling me a lot of good things about you. It's obvious she holds you in high regards.
Nana: *Embarrassed* Mom!
Mea: *Rubs Her Head Out Of Embarrassment* *Smile* Ooh, stop it, you make me blush.* So anyway, what is the reason of visit of the two most important people in the universe here in senpai's home today?
Lala: *Smile* I gave up the Deviluke throne, and Nana with Ion will become queen and king!
Mea: *Surprised* ... *To Ion and Nana* Really?!
Nana: *Awkward Laugh* Yeah, it's true, alright.
Ionas: She pretty much tossed it at us to not have to bother herself with it. Quite the luck, don't we have?
Mea: *Excited* That's wonderful! That means you can have more than one girls as yours without restrictions, Ion-Senpai!
Ionas: *Irritated* Damn it always with that thinking!
Nana: *Blush* Mea!
Mea: What? *Remembers* Oh, by the way, you talked about what we said last time, right?
*She says that as she looks at both of them, with Ion and Nana realizing what she means, while the rest wonder what she is talking about*
Ionas And Nana: *Troubled* (I totally forgot about it!)
Mea: Wait, you didn't? Even though you're now together. But why-?
*Mea's eyes widen that moment, as if she seemingly realized something*
Mea: Were you... *About To Shed Tears* Were you going to leave me behind...? Go to Nana's planet and leave me just like that...? After everything we went through together... You will end it like this...? *Tears Start Falling* Ion-Senpai?
Ionas: *Troubled* That's...
*Ion looks at Nana troubled, with her also looking at him troubled about the situation. Mea feels desperate that moment and rushes to Nana, literally falling to her knees in front of her while grabbing her skirt, startling her*
Mea: *Still Tearful* Nana-Chan... You will not really leave me out of this... Are you?
*Almost everyone who watches can't help but feel bad seeing all that*
Nana: *Sweat Drop* E-Even if you say that, Mea, that's...
Mea: *Shocked* ...
*Mea backs away a little and covers her face while dropping her front onto the ground below her, obviously crying*
Mea: *Depressed* I have come to like Ion so much... I don't want this feeling to stop just like that...
Ionas: *Ultra Surprised* (She just used my name... Without honorifics?!) *Highly Troubled* (This is beyond serious at this point...)
Nemesis (Within Rito's Mind): *To Rito* *Disapproval* (What a sad display my pupil has become...)
Rito: *Feels Bad*
*As Mea continues crying quietly onto the ground, Ion, feeling bad, looks the other way, not sure what else to do at this point that will not be viewed as betrayal toward Nana. And as for Nana herself, she looks at Ion, before looking at Mea again, feeling bad for her as well. Nana thinks of all the times the three of them went through together. The good, the bad, and the weird. How much they supported each other from the beginning. She brings herself in Mea's place... Understanding her... While also having a hard time with said thoughts*
Nana: *Pressured Thoughts* ...* *Frustrated Groan* Fine!
Ionas: *Turns To Look At Nana* Eh?
*Mea stops for a moment, and looks at Nana, with everyone else looking confused*
Nana: ... *Sighs And Lowers Head* You can be his too...
Ionas: ... *More Surprised Is Impossible* WH~AT?!
*Everyone is equally surprised. Mea gets up while wiping her face from the tears*
Mea: *To Nana* *Smile* Y-Y-You really-?
Nana: *Lifts Her Head While Blushing And Seemingly Upset* Don't make me repeat myself! Just be grateful I'm even allowing you this!
Mea: *Gasps With The Greatest Happiness There Is*
Ionas: *Looks at Nana in confusing disbelief* Nana, wha-?
*Before he finishes that sentence, Mea throws herself straight at him, making him fall down onto the ground with her laying on top of him and kissing him deeply, as he tries to push her off him, so far to no avail*
Nana: *Blush* Me-... *Annoyed And Weary Sigh* Forget it.
Ionas: *Pushes And Holds Mea With Difficulty Off His Face* *Disbelief* Nana, what the hel-!
*Says just before Mea puts her face against his again, pushing him down once more*
Nana: *Seemingly Annoyed And Blushing* It's YOUR fault she is like this to begin with! So you'll have to at least take responsibility!
Ionas: *Pushes And Holds Mea With Difficulty Off His Face* You say that as if I fu-!
*Mea once more pushes him down with her face, and continues to kiss him passionately, while everyone else watches, with most blushing at the whole thing. Ion resists some more, before finally giving up by resting his arms wide open onto the ground*
Ionas: *Defeated* (I give up. No reason in trying at this point anyway. Still, can't believe that NANA of all people, agreed to such thing- It's crazy! God, I hope you can forgive me, cause I'm taking them both in the end.)
Gid: *Jealous* The f*cker- He has two of them.
Sephie (Via Screen): What was that, dear?
Gid: *Sweat Drop* N-Nothing.
Sephie (Via Screen): *To Nana* Nana, are you really sure about that choice?
Nana: *Awkward* I-If it's only she and I, then I don't have a problem with it.
Sephie (Via Screen): I see. *Smile* If that's what you want, then neither I have a problem with this.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* (What a turn of events!)
*After some more moments, Mea finally lets go, and allows Ion to get up, somewhat dizzy after all that kissing*
Ionas: Got it out of your system?
Mea: *Smile* Yep! *Close And Seductive* And I look forward for what we might do afterward.
Ionas: *A Bit Awkward*
Nana: *Annoyed* OK!
*Nana grabs Ion by the arm, and gets him up and close to her, pretty much clinging to his arm now*
Nana: *Annoyed* Let's not take things too far now, Mea!
Mea: Hu~h?
*Mea gets close and clings onto his other arm*
Mea: Why not? *Seductive* It's gonna happen sooner or later, you know. We might as well both try now that he is finally available.
Nana: *Flustered* Wh-What are you s-?!
Ionas: *To Mea* Alright, first, Mea, you made it sound like I'm some kind of hook*r or something. Second, what of Rito, eh? *Raises An Eyebrow* Were you not "drawn" to him too?
*Mea looks at Rito for a moment*
Mea: ... *Smile* You know, Rito-Senpai is fun, and also has that incredible technique he has with his hands-
Rito: *Flustered* Ah-
Mea: *To Ion* Not to mention I still didn't get him to li- *Shakes Head* *Blushing And Smiling* But unlike him, you will at least care for me for who I am, and actually love me back.
Ionas: *Feels The Wholesomeness* Aww~.
Mea: *Smile* Plus, I'm REALLY curious to see YOU in action! *Seductive* Maybe I will let you have a lick too.
Ionas: *Bored* (AND there goes the wholesome moment.)* *Smile* Well, at least I will not feel betrayed.
Nana: *Blushing And Seemingly Upset* J-Just remember! No more than us two!
*Ion looks at Nana, and then kisses her onto her cheek, catching her by surprise*
Ionas: *Smile* Don't worry, I'm not THAT crazy. *Wink* And even if that was the case, no matter what, you would, and always will be number one to me, my sweet little Nana.
Nana: *Blushing* ... *Smiles and rests her head onto his arm* You better mean it, you sweet-talking idiot.
Ionas: *Amused Chuckle*
Mea: I just thought of something. Since we will have to go to Deviluke, and have to stop attending school here, you will no longer really be my senpai anymore, right?
Ionas: *Thinking* That's true, actually.* What of it?
Mea: Should I call you by just your first name now, *Smile* or maybe would you prefer it if I started calling you "Ion-Sama", since you will be my king too?
Ionas: By my first name, if you please.
Mea: *Smile* Alright! Ion-Sama it is!
Ionas: *Sigh* I bloody knew it.
Mea: *Amused Giggle*
Nana: *Realizes* AH! The school! With all that we forgot about it!
Ionas: *Breaks the holds* *Troubled* Oh my god, you're right!
*The rest of the gang is troubled as well by that*
Gid: *Raises An Eyebrow* Why do YOU three even care? It's not like you need it now.
Ionas: *Serious* We still have to at least attend to for these three remaining days, and also explain the situation to everyone else! It's called manners and it's a serious business!
Gid: *Looks at him the wrong way* Did you just called me unman-?
Ionas: *Looks at his phone's clock* *To The Rest* This is bad, we don't have enough time to-
*The gang vanish from the spot, leaving standing there surprised the royal couple with their guards and Zastin, and then the scene shows the said gang, without Mikan, appearing just outside of their school, surprising and startling everyone around, with themselves being incredibly confused*
Ionas: *Confused* Umm-
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Wai- Mikan? Where is Mi-?!
Kremant: *From Everywhere* At her own school. You're all welcome!
Ionas: *Seemingly Annoyed* You...* *Oddly Thankful* Actually thank you. One of the few times you actually deserve it. *To The Rest* *Smile* Let's go, everybody! Time to spread the news!
[And so, Ion and the rest, with him being always close to Nana and Mea, were telling their friends all about their adventure before, their big confessions later, and how they will end up sitting on Deviluke's throne in the future. Everyone was surprised at the news, especially at Ion getting officially both the girls, with Saruyama and the boys getting understandably jealous, and some random and somewhat known normie girls being also jealous, saying stuff like "I knew those two will be a problem, I knew it" and other stuff. Risa and Mio were amazed and playful about it, Yami was actually surprised that Ion and Nana actually agreed to have Mea in the middle of this, but was generally happy for her sister mostly, Yui who had the same reaction, but was still happy for them and also sad for having to let two of her most capable helpers go, while also demanding from them to still follow the morals of the school while still there, and Run with Ren who simply congratulated them and wish them the best, yes even Saki with the rest. Mikado was happy, and Oshizu ecstatic about it, with the first being pleased to learn about Ion's adventure into the insectbots' mothership, and their inevitable end, while also somewhat disappointed that she will no longer be able to learn more about them. Mostly happy, though. The gang continued spreading the news around school. Cause it was not just about their happiness and achievements. It was also their goodbye to the school. That they will no longer be able to attend to, due to the duties they will have from then on to Deviluke. But they promised to always visit when they have the time, and that the great time they all had together at school will never be forgotten]
~During The Night~At The Yuukis' House~At Ion's Room~
Ionas: *Weary* ...
Nana: *To Mea* *Serious And Blushing* I'm telling you, doing anything weird now before the wedding is just wrong!
Mea: And I tell you that if Ion doesn't mind, then we should, Nana-Chan!
Nana: *Serious* Ion said that he doesn't mind either way! Doesn't necessarily mean we should!
Mea: But, Nana-Cha~n!
Nana: *Annoyed* No means no!
*All three of them are on the same bed, with Ion in the middle*
Ionas: *Weary* Seriously, girls, I am tired after all that commotion today, and you're at it for much more than you should.
Nana: *Annoyed* Then tell her that she has to wait! *Blushing and a bit embarrassed* At least, you know, till we are done with the wedding and all.
Ionas: (Nana looking forward to such thing is kinda concerning to me. In any case-) *To Mea* Mea, you will have to respect Nana's wishes, she will be the legal wife, after all.
Mea: *Sweat Drop* Aww, even you, Ion-Sama?
*Mea looks at him in a mischievous way, before suddenly moving on top of him*
Nana: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* H-Hey, what are you-?
Mea: *Smile* You said nothing "weird", right?
*That moment, she removes her top, revealing her bare skin and chest, flustering Nana, and getting Ion's attention*
Mea: *Smiling And Blushing* In that case a little touching will not be that bad, right, Ion-Sama?
Ionas: (Of course you would find an excuse like that.)
*Mea grabs one of Ion's hands, and as she moves it toward her chest, Nana grabs the same hand as well, pulling it her way to prevent her*
Nana: *Blushing And Upset* T-That kind of touching is still not ok!
Mea: *Pulls his hand her way* How is it not? *Smile* If it's about feeling left out, you can always just have him touch you with the other one.
Nana: *Pulls his hand till the middle* *Flustered* Wh-What are you saying, you pervert!
Kremant: *Grin* Visiting in a bad time again, friends?
*The three look and see Kremant standing at the end of the bed, grinning about as most of the time*
Ionas: If we were actually doing it.
Nana: *Flustered* I-Ion!
Mea: *To Ion* *Seductive* That can be arranged, my king.
Nana: *Blushing And Annoyed* Oh, just get off him already, you!
*She says that as she pulls her off Ion and beside her, and then tries to force her into wearing her shirt again*
Ionas: *To Kremant* Before you say anything, and just to be sure, all of the insectbots are gone for good now, right?
Kremant: *Big Grin* Oh yes, complete annihilation!
Ionas: Good to know...
*Nana and Mea finally settle down, with the latter, who is pouting, now wearing her top normally*
Ionas: *Serious* Be honest with us... YOU are the reason those robots existed in the first place, no?
Nana: Eh?
Kremant: *To Ion* I was not the one to throw that lightning bolt at that robot to change its system if that's what you're asking. That was unexpected even to me. *Grin* But I DID transported them in this universe using my powers. *Evil Chuckle*
Nana: *Upset* So it's YOUR fault everything that happened because of them!
Kremant: Oh, I also was the reason that that other "Ion" ended up in the insectbots' hands to begin with. *Pleased* And what a turn the show took because of that!
Ionas: *To Kremant* *Irritated* I f*cking knew you were involved in some way with that too. Poor other me... *Sigh* Not that it matters anymore anyway. So, I will guess you're here to tell me that now you will make my life even harder since I will become king of Deviluke, no?
Kremant: No. I'm actually here to say my goodbyes.
Ionas: ... Eh?
Kremant: Now that you were able to achieve so much, and with your life changing in such a way, the circle feels as if it has reached its other end. The show ends here. And so, my involvement as well.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Tell me you're just joking around? I can hardly imagine you actually-
Kremant: Oh, but it's true. You will not have to deal with me ever again. See it as your reward for reaching this point. Look, I know I was a big thorn in your side... But know that I will miss our interactions together very much, after I'm gone.
Ionas: Wow... He really means it. (I'm actually not sure how to feel about it. Even if he was a pain, I kinda got used to his presence. I feel in a way sad for this. Weird, isn't it?)
Kremant: *Grin* Oh, don't be like that. Remember that even if I'm gone, I will still watch your everyday life along with my friends. Not missing the extras now.
Ionas: *Sigh* Of course...
Nana: *To Kremant* *Upset* Just get out of here already!
Kremant: *Big Grin* On it!
*A big dark portal opens behind Kremant, and he turns around while looking back at the three*
Kremant: *Grin* Goodbye, folks. And good wedding to you!
*Kremant passes through and the portal closes*
Mea: *Waves Her Hand With A Smile* Thanks and see you, Kremant!
Nana: *Disbelief* So, he is finally gone from our lives...
Ionas: *Disbelief* Yeah, he is...
Mea: ... Alright! *Mischievous Smile* Now, where were we?
*Mea says that as she pulls up her shirt again, with the previous pattern pretty much repeating itself once more. They are probably not gonna take any actual sleep for the night*
[The remaining days pass with the trio saying their last goodbyes to everyone, before finally Zastin takes them along with a bunch of royal guards to keep them safe, all the way to Deviluke. And after some details were taken care of, the wedding day was finally here. Everyone important, along with Rito, Lala and the rest, were present for the important day. Ion and Nana eventually exchange vows, with Mea simply waiting to the side, and then, the kiss concludes the wedding ceremony. And with that, we go to the throne room, with Ion sitting on the throne, wearing what looks like a devilukian traditional king's clothing, Nana sitting on the one next to it, wearing a regal dress and a golden tiara, and Mea standing beside Ion on the other side, wearing her usual gothic clothing. The room now full with once more the previous audience and the royal guards, and the king of the universe Gid, who is carrying in his hands a crown, approaching the throne]
*Gid stops in front of Ion*
Gid: By the name of the king, Gid Lucione Deviluke, I hereby declare you, Ionas Dardanidis-
*Gid places the crown onto Ion's head*
Gid: King of Deviluke, and the unified universe!
*The crowd and the family applauds for them*
Gid: Say a few words for your subjects, King Ion.
*Gid makes a short bow and steps aside, with Ion getting up, and walking a few steps forward. He looks around at his subjects. Many species of aliens he sees, and advanced screens that show the grand moment everywhere to the known universe*
Ionas: ... *Serious* Deviluke and the rest of the vast universe that stand today before me! I'm sure that many of you have probably mixed feelings about "the new king concept". Some of you probably didn't even like the previous one, I'm not sure. But... I can assure you that as your king, I plan on ensuring that every corner of this universe will live with peace and prosperity, as much as I have the power to do so.
*The crowd applauds once more*
Ionas: *Real Serious And Loud* BUT!
*Everyone stops that moment, some startled by his sudden change of tone, which startled even Nana*
Ionas: *Real Serious* Make absolutely no mistake! I am willing to make those promises reality, and I will be willing to hear everyone's complaints in order to find a way to help them if actually possible. But for those who dare to oppose me, everything I stand for, and what I hold dear, for reasons that will be deemed unreasonable and in no way just... *Menacing* I will show them my other face, and give them no quarter! You hear me?! I will allow no stupidly unjust rebellions go unpunished for anyone involved! Rulers that are responsible for making a world's or continent's people suffer in an economical or other way for just their own selfish wellbeing, will be punished as they must, along with the ones that support them! *Intensity Raising* And as for crimes far worse, be sure that punishments about such subjects from now on will be broadcasted, and make anyone who witness them *Eyes Wide Open* pale from shock.
*Most of the audience was really troubled and worried by what they heard him saying*
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Oh... My...
Mea: *Excited* I have a feeling this will be an interesting reign.
Gid: *Grin* (Not bad.)
Ionas: *Still Toward The Audience* *Real Serious* Do not think of me as soft. Do not think of me as weak. Show me your goodness, and I will show you mine. Show me the opposite... And I will return it back at you tenfold...
[With that begins the reign of Ion. A ruler of goodness most of the time, and a ruler of horror when it really counts. He even established relations with Earth, most notably Greece, and through his influence he was pretty much in control of it, and eventually Earth in its entirety. His name was spread everywhere in this vast universe, and many could say there was no one who didn't know who he is. He might not be as powerful as the previous king, but he is, what could only be described as: "Brutal". No one has ever seen such a brutal display in any battlefield before, not even from the previous king himself. That's how he treated those who he deemed guilty and worthy of his wrath. But there are also of course those who have seen his kindness, his polite behavior, and proofs of his caring toward all those who he believed deserve it. Those who know him as such, find it hard to believe that someone with so much goodness in his heart, can have such a great bloodstained horror on the inside at the same time. Like some sort of second personality. But no matter that, the people he has helped all this time still love him no matter how violent and vicious he is known to be. And of course to this day, his wife, along with his only concubine, love him very much. VERY much. Though the said wife can't stop worrying about him whenever others make him really mad. Each day he becomes more powerful because of how his special energy works. That along with his brutal way of fighting, AND his ability to now completely control his transformation power, eventually earned him through the universe the name: The Eldritch King. And of course he was always making sure to visit his friends on Earth, and take them, along with some others, to the most favorable places in Greece, and making everyone understand just how great is the greek cuisine, and Greece in general. Mostly the cuisine. There are a lot more stories to be told about him. But that's a matter for another day. May his reign be eternal]

~Somewhere In The Shadow Zone~Some Time After Ion's Coronation~
*In the blackness of the Shadow Zone, Kremant can be seen alone, watching through a screen Ion and some others, before the said screen closes*
Kremant: And that's how it went. Looking forward to see what it will become of him now that he is king of that universe.
...
Kremant: *Grin* You know, the funny thing is, that I didn't tell him one tiny detail about his energy and body. It's made out of energy, which said energy never truly depletes as long as he is not overusing it. He is practically immortal. You know well what that means, don't you? *Big Grin* He will eventually watch everyone around him reaching their final hours, and HE will not even age a bit. All the people he met. All the people he loved. HE will be the one to bury them all! *Evil Laughter*
...
Kremant: ...
...
*Kremant lowers his head while sighing, sad in a sense*
Kremant: I have tried so much all this time to draw your attention. Did who knows how many changes. Broken who knows how many rules. Yet I am still here. Trying and trying till I succeed.
...
Kremant: I wonder... *Lifts Head* How much more should I do, in order to get your so wanted attention...?
