~At The Royal Palace Of Deviluke~Afternoon~

An afternoon like any other covers the beautiful City and the Royal Palace, both home to the Royal Family and rulers of Deviluke and the known unified universe.

*The scene moves inside the Royal Palace, in a large room with many different weapons and devices at one side, with some of them screaming training just by look only. In the middle of the said room, two very well known females are seemingly fighting each other*

Nana, wearing what appears to be a red and black training skin-suit, with Mea wearing her usual gothic-style black uniform, with her hair this time being loose, giving her a straight long hairstyle, both shown at the moment where Nana avoids the last moment a kick to the head from Mea by ducking before jumping backward, and with the second leaping toward the first for a follow up attack. As the first lands, she immediately blocks a punch with her arm from the second, then a kick to the side which the first blocks with her leg, with the first then attacking with two fast punches which the second avoids just as fast, as she turns around while ducking from a third punch as her hair grows, extends and forms a seemingly hard hair pillar, which aims for the first's feet, with her seeing it coming and jumping just in time, before the first throws a kick while on mid-air, which the second dodges the last second by moving her head back and immediately leaping backward as the first lands to avoid further confrontation, with the second's hair reforming back to its original long hairstyle. Mea lands and looks at Nana, who she looks at from her own side as well, both of them serious looks on their faces.

Nana: ...

Mea: ...

Mea turns both her hands into laser guns, with Nana just as soon beginning to rush forward toward the first (who is now Mea), as she aims them at her and starting to shoot. One laser after another she is able to dodge by leaping from side to side as she approaches fast, with the second at the time turning multiple parts of her hair into blades, before she stops shooting, reforming her hands back to normal, and extending fast the said hair blades at the second, who is half way at reaching the first. The second dodges each incoming blade swing either by leaping or cartwheeling fast, and even striking some away with her punches at the right moments, as she continues to make her way toward the first, with the blade rampage barely slowing her down. Seeing her coming, Mea quickly retreats her hair back to herself, and reforming them back to normal, and leaps fast forward toward the incoming Nana, with her able to dodge the first's sudden advance by stepping to the side just the last second, with the first as she lands just past her that moment attempting to take a hold of her tail.

Nana: *Eyes Wide Open In Realization*

Nana seeing it coming in time, moves fast the said tail away from her, but soon after the failing attempt Mea brings fast one hand right in front of her face which turns in an instant into a laser gun, startling her for a moment, with her then using that chance to quickly trip her with a kick to the feet, making her lose balance and fall on her back, while at the same time in an almost fluid way jumping from above her while extending her hair to force each of Nana's limbs to remain on the floor, as Mea lands right behind her head, and all that while still aiming her laser gun at her face, as Nana looks at her while gasping from shock and tiredness, with sweat now being obvious upon her skin.

Mea: ... *Smiles And Giggles*

Nana: *Defeated And Upset* Damn it!

Mea retreats her hair, letting Nana free, as she turns her laser gun into her normal hand again, which she gives to her friend to help her get up, before both walk toward a wall that has a long iron bar on it which has two towels placed there, with Nana grabbing one of the said towels for herself to wipe some of the sweat off her.

Nana: *While Wiping* *Somewhat Disappointed Sigh* I really thought I was gonna beat you this time.

Mea: *Smile* Aw, don't feel bad for yourself, Nana-Chan. I'm actually having trouble nowadays to touch you during our little fights. You have been making great improvement in combat lately! *Wink* Keep it up like that, and you might actually beat me one of these days.

Nana: *Smile* Really? You think so?

Mea: *Smile* Yeah! I mean, you're definitely better than how you were one year ago.

*A quick flashback shows, from Nana's first training days, Nana trying to punch Mea only to let the first trip herself on the second's foot as she steps to the side and let her fall down onto the floor, then another scene where the first attempt to kick her only for the second to make a simple dodge to the side, move fast behind her, and grab fast the sensitive tail, while teasing it playfully, to subdue the first, and then another where the first tries a full charge, only for her to end up being grabbed by the second's moving transforming hair, and lifted off the ground a bit, and then pin her with the back on the ground using said hair to hold her there, before Mea proceeds to playfully and pretty much sexually tease the helpless Nana about as Ion shakes his head while placing his hand on his forehead in disappointment*

Mea: *Smile* You were so easy to kick around back then. *Amused Laugh*

Nana: *Embarrassed And Upset* Oh shut up!

After Nana finishes with the towel, and places it back at the iron bar on the wall, she and Mea sit down onto the floor.

Mea: Let's have some rest for now and we continue with the training later.

Nana: Yeah...

Nana appears to be in deep thinking about something for a moment there as she looks at the floor down in front of her.

Nana: *Sigh*

Mea: Something in your mind, Nana-Chan?

Nana: It's Ion. I can't help but worry for him. From the moment he took the throne, he is like a different person. Back then he used to really detest the idea of killing anyone. And now look at him. *Shocked* Killing thousands almost every day from rebellions by himself like that was never the case, and even broadcasting to the whole universe the executions! *Disturbed* Not to mention the ideas he has come up with for said executions.

Nana shivers at the thought for a moment as she rubs her own shoulders in discomfort.

Nana: *Still A Bit Disturbed* I know it's never a good thing an execution, but he has made it in such a way that it's impossible for me to even look at the whole thing at all. *Places Both Hands To Slightly Cover Her Ears* Not to mention the horrible screams from most of those...

Mea: *Sweat Drop* I know what you mean, he is so extreme about it at times that even I feel discomfort when watching. And that says a lot.

Nana removes her hands from her ears.

Nana: He even participates to some of those as the executioner himself. *Shocked* And the most shocking part... No matter what, he is always looking at every execution with a straight face. Devoid of emotion, completely uncaring of what happens or what he does to the person who's being executed at that moment. My stomach could hardly handle any of those.

Mea: Yeah, I remember you asking him for you to never have to view any of those again, with him being understanding about it.

Nana: And when one day I questioned him about why he is so extreme about the said executions, he said-

{Flashback}

*The scene shows Nana just having asked him about what's mentioned above*

Ionas: Cause when there's someone who goes against the most important rules, against everything that has been built, against all who just want to be left alone and have a peaceful life, and against everything you love... Then drastic measures have to be taken for that. Cause when epochs demand it... *Real Serious* Vermins get only what they deserve.

{End Of Flashback}

Nana: *Still Somewhat Shocked* It's not what he said that shocked me. But the way he said that last one. I could feel the hate in his voice when saying it. *Somewhat Frightened* It still scares me just remembering it.

Mea: ...

Nana finds some of her composure back and looks at Mea.

Nana: I would normally object more about the way he is performing each execution, but the way he describes the crimes of each of those criminals every time before each execution, makes it impossible for me to do so. Don't get me wrong, I don't say those bad people had to be spared, considering what some of them did or tried to do... But executed in such savage ways is just...

Mea: Ion said he is doing that so other new bad people will not appear or do those things after they see what awaits them after they are caught. That's the reason of the whole universal broadcasting, after all.

Nana: Yeah, but he is being much more cruel than he should!

Mea: Nana-Chan, be honest. With the way the universe is, after the previous king left and all, do you think that if Ion was simply nice, would he still be able to maintain control over it? Would nice words be enough to stop each rebellion and each atrocity.

Nana: ... *Lowers Head* No. I know it would not be as simple as that.

Mea: And don't forget, everything Ion is doing is so you, me, and all the others under him can feel safe knowing that he will tolerate no one that tries to do anything to disturb the peace that most people want and need, like he said. And he is not wrong, you know.

Nana: *Lifts Head* I know that! It's just... *Sighs And Looks To The Side* I'm not saying he is doing what he is doing without a valid reason... It's just that I'm afraid that the throne and the way he is taking things so seriously might change him in such way... That the Ion we have come to know and love will cease to exist. That one day we will look at him, and not recognize him.

That moment, Mea places a hand onto one of Nana's, which was currently placed upon her thigh, getting her attention.

Mea: What are you talking about, Nana-Chan? It's true that Ion is taking things much more seriously than he used to, when he was not king of the universe, but that will never change him in such a way. *Smile* No matter how serious he is at times, he will always be the one we have come to love, and he proves that every day. He hugs us, he talks to us in the sweetest way, and he cares for our well-being and us in general. You think something like that will change that easily?

Nana: ... *Shakes Head And Smiles* No. You're right, I am being stupid. If it was that easy, he would lose it from day one. Thank you for bringing me back to my senses.

Mea: *Smile* Always there for you, Nana-Chan.

Mea let's Nana's hand, with both still remaining in their resting sitting position on the floor.

Nana: *Crosses Arms* Still, he could at least let his generals and the ones supposedly responsible for those things to handle them instead of him. He could go for most part without the extra stress and responsibilities over his shoulders, no?

Mea: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* True, but you know how Ion is. Always wants to be sure that things work as they are supposed to.

Nana: Yeah...

Nana that moment appears to remember about something.

Nana: By the way, Mea, since we are talking about not stressing him up and all.

Mea: Hm?

Nana: *Sweat Drop* What was that about that you did just a month ago?

{Flashback}

Nana appears to be studying some papers inside a small room, seated at a desk, with her mother Sephie watching her from above her head as she does so with a smile. A knock on the door interrupts them, before they see opening the door Ion as he comes through, and closing the said door as he does so.

Nana: *Smile* Oh, Ion!

Ionas: *Smile* Hey, Nana. *Nods At Sephie* Miss Sephie.

Sephie: *Smile* Oh come now, Ion. I keep telling you there is no need for such formalities when it is just us. And I would really like it if you could start calling me "Mother" instead finally.

Ionas: I... *Rubs Head From Embarrassment* Don't know about that. I just can't help but feel it would be weird of me to start doing so.*

Sephie:*To Nana* *Playful* Aww, he is still shy about it. Isn't that cute, Nana?

Ion at the moment feels somewhat uncomfortable at the comment.

Nana: Mo~m! Don't make him feel uncomfortable. *Rolls Eyes* You know after all how stupidly nice Ion can be for his own good.

Ionas: You WISH everyone was as nice as me. *Looks At Both* Anyway, I had some free time from my duties and came to see how is everyone doing... *Notices Someone Is Missing* Where is Mea?

Nana: It's her free time. She should be back in five minutes I think.

Ionas: I see.

Sephie: *Notices Something In Nana's Papers* Oh, it appears we missed the middle one somehow. *Smile* Ion, will you be a dear and bring it for us from the box over there, please?

Says while pointing at a cardboard box close to a bookshelf.

Nana: *Serious* Mom, you can't just order my husband, the king no less, around as if it was nothing!

Ionas: I don't really mind-

Nana: *To Sephie* That's supposed to be MY job. *To Ion* *Somewhat Demanding* Ion, go fetch it for us, will you?

Ionas: ... I see now where this was going.

Ion turns around toward the box.

Ionas: *Seemingly Serious* I'll give you a piece of my mind in bed later.

Nana flinched for a moment at the sound of that, understanding in what way he means it.

Sephie: *Somewhat Amused* Oh-ho my.

Sephie says as she somewhat places a hand on her mouth to cover her amusement.

Nana: *Sweat Drop* (I... Just made my night more demanding, didn't I?)

As Nana is blushing heavily while grabbing her head and looking down as if in trouble, and with her mother placing a hand on her back to comfort her, while still somewhat amused at her daughter's situation, Ion walks up to the closed box they were talking about, stopping right in front of it.

Ionas: So, what page you need from within?

Sephie: The one labeled "I-P-12" about "Intergalactic Politics".

Ionas: Ok.

Ion bends down to open the box, but when he does so, a black figure emerges suddenly from within, as Ion backs away alarmed, and now in front of him stands Kremant, with his arms stretched toward the sides.

Ionas: *Shockingly Surprised* EH- WHA- EXCU- HU- EH-

While Nana and Sephie look at the whole thing surprised as well, and while Ion continues to have the little crisis of his life, Kremant falls down on the floor, surprising more everyone in the room.

Ionas: *More Surprise* Ah- *Notices* Wait a moment.

Ion grabs the fallen Kremant, and then as he looks at his surprisingly thin and weird shaped side, he realizes-

Ionas: *Realization* That's not Kremant! It's just a cardboard figure shaped like him!

Nana: *Sweat Drop* Hu- Really? But why is there-?

That moment the door suddenly opens, drawing everyones attention, and see Mea coming inside while laughing in amusement and holding her sides.

Mea: *Greatly Amused Laughing* You should have seen-! *Continues Laughing*

Nana: *Sweat Drop* Mea, that was YOUR work?!

Mea continues laughing amused, till she spots something moving right in front of her, with that something being Ion, looking literally down at her on his full height, arms crossed, and emitting quite the menacing aura as he looks at her in a serious manner, with her stopping with the laughter and looking seemingly troubled now at him.

Mea: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* U-Um- I-It was just a jok-

{End Of Flashback}

Nana: *Raises An Eyebrow* Seriously, why did you even prank him like that back then?

Mea clasps her hands together, before appearing as if fantasizing.

Mea: *Smiling And Fantasizing* I thought that if I do something bad enough to him, that he will "punish me" at the bed later in a really wild and erotic way.* *Sweat Drop* But, that had the opposite result in the end...

Nana: *Sweat Drop* I knew your reason would be something like...* *Upset* Well, thanks to your little stunt back then, I was all alone with Ion when the night came.* *Sweat Drop* And after what I did myself, he was not exactly merciful. *Blushing And Awkward* I could barely feel my backside at the end of it. Not to mention the tickling he was giving at times during the...

Mea: *Jealous* Jeez, Nana-Chan, that sounds like quite the time you had that day. Are you trying to make me feel jealous. Don't act as if you didn't like it.

Nana: *Blushing And Awkward* I never said I didn't- *Shakes Head Fast* *Upset* The point is-!

Mea: *Smile* I get it, I get it. Ion is just too much to handle alone at times. *Fantasizing Again* One of the reasons I love him so much...

Nana at the moment is kind of creeped out by the perverted face Mea is making.

Mea: *Smile* Anyway. The thing is that I really like spending the nights with him. *Blush* And I can tell that he appreciates me a lot when we do it.

That gets Nana's attention.

Nana: Why you say that?

Mea: *Smile* Haven't you noticed? He is taking the initiative with me much more than he used to. In older times I used to kinda do most of the work, and now... *Fantasizing Once Again* Not to mention how lovingly he caresses-

Nana: *Blushing And Seemingly Upset* Th-That doesn't prove anything! *Crosses Arms* After all, I'm better than you at it anyway.

Mea: ... Wait, what was that, Nana-Chan?

Nana: *Shrugs And Smiles Proudly* I mean, he likes it more from me when we- *Blushing* you know*, to the point he let's me more often to take the initiative, so that means that he obviously favors my experience more than yours. We both have seen it many times, after all. You might have a chest that is a little better than mine and that advantage with the transformation, but even with that in the end, you still cannot compare to me. *Laughs*

Mea: Ho~?

Mea looks at Nana in such a menacing manner while smiling, that when the second notices it she finches scared in place as she backs a bit away while on the floor. Mea decides to get up in the meantime.

Mea: *Menacing Smile* What's this? Nana-Chan grew a backbone all of a sudden, decided to start talking about erotical stuff, and even compare herself with her best friend at experience and such?

Nana: *Blushing And Troubled* I-I mean-!

Mea's hair that moment appears to lift itself above her as it stretches outward, in such a way that it gives them a somewhat tentacles-like appearance.

Mea: *Menacing Smile* I think it's time for a "special" type of training for the occasion.

Realizing what she meant, Nana attempts to get up and run toward the door, only to be caught by Mea's hair, after only making two steps toward it, with her back now on the floor, and with her red-haired friend having already placed her body above hers, chest to chest, and with the Devilukian girl feeling just as soon the very well known sensation, before the scene shows her tail having been grabbed by three of Mea's hair strands, which are rubbing and teasing the said tail in a seemingly sensational way.

Nana: *Blushing And Struggling With The Sensation* N... Not the tail...!

As Nana struggles to get free, Mea unzips the pinkette's training skin-suit, revealing partially both chest and stomach, then brings one hand down below, inside the cloth and straight at her other sensitive area {;D}, and starts to work those fingers, much to Nana's shock and continual sensation, with Mea's other free hand simply supporting her head on the helpless victim's small chest as she looks with a playful smile at her friend's moaning and blushing face, before some seconds later she moves the supporting hand out of the way, and moves her head down at the pinkette's small chest to nibble at one of her (;D).

Nana: *Moaning And Struggling* No~...!

As all that continues, there are knocks at the door, before it opens, with the girls stopping what they were doing in reaction, and reveals Ion.

Ionas: Hey, girl how's trai-

And that's when Ion notices there down at the ground Nana, with her front unzipped and her looking at him in an upside-down manner, due to the known current position of her body, and Mea who is right above her, with hand, face, and hair strands still where they were a moment ago.

Ionas: *Surprised* ...

Nana: *Greatly Blushing* I-Ion, th-that's not-

Ionas: *Somewhat Awkward* I'll... Just leave you at it.

Ion says that as he slowly closes the door, leaving both girls alone once more.

Nana: ... *Blushing And Upset* Damn it, Mea! Now he will think we aren't taking the training seriously!

Mea: Whatever, we'll just explain later.

After saying that, Mea continues to sexually harass Nana about, much to the latter's moaning and protesting. In the meantime the scene goes to where Ion is, who is walking at the moment through a hallway toward an unknown location.

Ionas: I bet Nana did something to trigger Mea like that other time, and that's the result. *Serious* They are lucky I'm busy at the moment, else I would jump right at them and give them what for.

Ion stops walking and bends a bit for a moment in discomfort, before straightening up again.

Ionas: *Somewhat Uncomfortable* I'm lucky I wear armor that pretty much hides it down there, but it's gonna be an annoying walk till it goes away on its own. Stupid, random, sudden, lustful situations of my women!
