Chapter 2:- The Captain & the Pack
Theme song: Summoning 101 - Mili
Ending Song: Cruel Angel's Thesis - Takahashi Yoko (Cover: Ookami Mio)
Yuuya: A famous person once said "People cry, not because they are weak. It is because they've been strong for too long.". I believe that every sentiment of all beings is strong if they are kind enough to do what they believe is right for others and that includes you too. Ookami-san..No.. Mio. *The boy said to the wolf girl as the two were seen in a bedroom as they were both sitting on top of the bed*
Mio: Y-Yuuya… *The girl was getting teared up as the boy would slowly rub the tears off of her face with a handkerchief*
Yuuya: You don't need to be special, Mio. You are what you are, you are just as special as everyone else. You don't need to work hard to be the absolute best because everyone who loves you….Knows that you are already the best to them.
The sight of the wolf girl was seen crying loudly as she was sitting on the bed. The very sight of the conversation she had with Yuuya would then disappear as Mio was watching the boy from the back as she got teary and would hold onto both of her hands lightly as Okayu noticed that Mio was crying and was worried for her friend. As the two girls looked up ahead, they watched how six Evangelions were fighting against a group of Gundams along with Shin Godzilla. Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex and Deathscythe were fighting against one Evangelion up close as they were trying to break through the armour of the Evangelion while Gundam 00 Raiser and Arios were facing against one of the other Evangelions as Shin Godzilla was fighting the remaining four.
Marine: Oh? What's going on over there?
Pekora: Is it something bad, Peko?
Marine: I don't know but it looks like a- WOAH! *A bright purple beam would fire past the pirate ship and explode from afar* W-What the hell was that?!
Flare: What happened?! *The dark elf with bright blonde hair and oranged coloured eyes was seen running out from her room as she panicked*
Marine: Big explosion! Purple fire! Kaboom!
Pekora: Ahhh! Maririn!
Marine: What?! MY SHIP IS ON FIRE!
Pekora: Your hat you idiot!
Marine: Hmm? *The girl would look up and place her hand on her hat and pull her hand down as she looked at her right hand and noticed that it was on fire* Hmm. Yabai desu ne. (This is bad).
Flare: Oh god, Danchou! Get the fire extinguisher!
Noel: I'm on it! *She grabbed the fire extinguisher and would then toss it at Marine as it would then hit the captain on the face* The fire is still there!
Flare: You're supposed to spray it!
Noel: Oh. How was I supposed to know? I'm a knight! Not a firefighter!
Pekora: M-Maririn!
Marine: W-Wake me up inside…
A magic circle would then appear in front of the group of girls as Yuuya along with Okayu and Mio were seen coming out of the magic circle as they got on the boat. Flare along with everyone else except for Marine were surprised to see Yuuya.
Flare: Yuuya, you're back!
Yuuya: In the flesh.
Pekora: Yuyu! Help us out! The boat is on fire and Maririn passed out, Peko!
Yuuya: Right. *The boy said as he pulled out a thin black glove from his pocket and would put it on his right hand and walk towards Marine and as Okayu noticed Yuuya with the glove, the girl couldn't help but skip a heartbeat and blushed as she stared at him while Mio felt a little uncomfortable at the sight of seeing Okayu looking at Yuuya excitedly*
The boy would snap the fingers on his right hand with the glove on as the gloves would absorb the flames and repair all of the damage as the glove glowed in a bright orange colour as Yuuya would make his right hand into a fist as the colour dispersed into the glove's normal black colour.
Yuuya: Why is she asleep?
Noel: Uh… She got caught by fire! That's why!
Pekora: Maririn got hit on the face by a fire extinguisher, Peko.
Yuuya: Maybe I should wake her up then.
"Hnngg! Pika!" The sound of Marine moaning softly was heard in front of Yuuya as the other girls panicked as Mio quickly ran up to Yuuya and covered his ears.
Mio: Jeez! She's absolutely dreadful! Even in her sleep, she's so lewd!
Noel: Senchou never changes after all.
Pekora: She's 17 years old, Peko.
Yuuya then snapped his fingers and teleported the ship straight to the beachline but keeping the distance safe from the fight as the group then noticed that the Gundams were losing and Godzilla was being overpowered by the Evangelions' numbers.
Okayu: Y-Yuuya-kun? Should we be worried?
Yuuya: *He sighed softly as the book would absorb the Gundams and the Kaiju back into his book as the Evangelions would all then turn their attention to the ship and run towards it* Here they come.
Flare: Noel!
Noel: R-Right! *The girl drew out her sword as Yuuya then snap his fingers and created a small black hole and absorbed the Evangelions into the black hole, after they were absorbed, he snapped his fingers once more and the black hole would disappear*
Yuuya: Now, shall we head back?
Noel: W-What just happened?
Pekora: D-Did you just eat them up, Peko?
Yuuya: Don't be ridiculous. The Black Hole did. Now, should we bring her back to the hideout? *The boy asked as he looked behind him to see Marine still asleep*
Pekora: There's still a few others that are out in the ocean, Peko.
Yuuya: How many?
Pekora: At least 3.
Yuuya: Who are they?
Pekora: Aqua-senpai, Towa-chan and Kanata-chan.
Yuuya:...What happened to Watame and Luna?
Mio: They're somewhere in the city. Fubuki has been looking for them for the past few days.
Yuuya: What about Rushia, Shion, Ayame, Subaru and Haato?
Okayu: R-Rushia-chan is within the hideout but..
Yuuya: But what?
Mio: She's been under trauma for quite some time now and she hasn't spoken to anyone ever since.
Yuuya: And the others I mentioned?
Mio: MIA just like Watame and Luna-chan.
Yuuya: What about Aki, Mel, Roboco and Sora?
Okayu: They're taking care of the sick and the wounded in the hideout, they were just too busy to come and chat with you when you arrived.
Yuuya: I see. Well, first thing's first. Night's about to reach and I suggest that we lay low and rest here on the ship.
Flare: I was just thinking the same thing.
Pekora: I agree, it's better to stay here and head out there during the night, Peko.
Okayu: But the others are gonna be worried.
Yuuya: Don't worry. Our priority here is to keep everyone here on this boat, alive.
Okayu: R-Right..
As hours passed and night came. The sight of Pekora along with Flare and Noel were seen playing video games in Marine's room while the captain of the ship was sleeping in her bed still as Okayu was watching the girls play as Yuuya was out on the deck, playing with a little bright purple energy ball that was floating on his palms. The boy then felt a presence nearby as he would let the energy ball up into the air as it would continue to float up into the sky as he looked to his left and saw the sight of Mio walking up the stairs as she had changed her Japanese attire to her home attire as she was wearing a sweater with shorts and had her hair tied up in a ponytail and was wearing a pair of red glasses.
Mio: Not going to sleep?
Yuuya: I don't need to.
Mio: Why not? Is it because of the curse?
Yuuya: Kinda. I mean, it's not like I don't need sleep, it's just not necessary anymore. My body doesn't need that sort of thing.
Mio: It doesn't hurt?
Yuuya: What?
Mio: Your body. Doesn't it hurt if you don't sleep?
Yuuya: No. I don't need to eat, I don't need to drink and sleep. I can't even grow old at all.
Mio: I-I'm sorry if I'm prying but how does it feel to be an immortal?
Yuuya: Well it's not bad if you think about it. You won't have to worry about death because you can't die. The only consequence is not knowing how it feels to actually die and to...Not be with the person you love when their time comes to an end..
Mio: I'm sorry..
Yuuya: It's fine. *The boy would then tap on the side as Mio smiled lightly and would sit next to him as the two would look up at the Moon* So, you had that "dream", huh?
Mio: What dream?
Yuuya: The one where you and I had a conversation in your room.
Mio: Oh that! Y-Yeah, I did. It's kinda scary how you can do that.
Yuuya: There are a lot of things that I can do. *As he said, he would look at Mio with a smile on his face as he winked at her and as he did, the girl blushed and a massive bright light shined up in space as the colour of the light was bright purple. Within seconds, the light would disappear* Mind if I tell you something?
Mio: O-Of course.
Yuuya: Perhaps it is none of my business but, maybe you just don't give yourself enough credit.
Mio: What do you mean?
Yuuya: You always call yourself: "Miso Soup" but you're the glue that holds together a large majority of all meals and can be mixed with many dishes, perhaps plain at first but with a little bit of salt and other sauces, you'd be the most colourful dish in the room.
Mio: W-What sort of dish are you implying?
Yuuya: Rice.
Mio: R-Rice?
Yuuya: Mmhm! You go with every dish! Soup, snack, side, main and appetizer! Onigiri, Sushi, Rice crackers, Fried Rice, Rice cakes, baked rice and so much more. *The boy gave a big happy smile at the girl and showed his young and kind personality to her as the girl couldn't help but tear up from hearing what Yuuya said as the boy would then begin to panic slightly* W-Was it something I said?
Mio: N-No..I-It's...Just that...Nobody has ever said such nice things to me before. Thank you. *The girl smiled back at the young boy as he would blush slightly and within the moment, Mio would blink her eyes slowly and gasped as she opened her eyes to the sight of Yuuya being all grown up* Y-Yuuya? D-Did you change your body?
Yuuya: *The young male had a more grown up-adult-look to him as he had greyish black hair with a taint of purple that resembled Mio's own hairstyle and had a much more deeper voice as he smiled at the girl* Like I said, there are a lot of things that I can do. Though, just this once, what do you want? I'll grant whatever wish it may be.
Mio: *She was breathing softly as she moved her hand to his that were keeping her from falling off of the ship and would slowly move her body towards his as she spoke softly and held his hand* Just...This once… *As she whispered to him softly and closed her eyes, the male nodded and would then close his eyes as well as the two embraced each other with a heartwarming and passionate kiss under the moonlight*
Within the very next day in the liquor storage within the ship in the early morning, the sight of Yuuya was seen sitting down on the floor with a blanket over his legs as he was reading his book while Mio was sleeping with her head on the boy's lap. As the boy looked in front of him, the sight of a black-laced panties were seen right in front of his face as the boy was unamused by the sight as the girl who was showing off her buttocks was none other than the Captain herself as she would look back at the boy with a naughty look on her face as she blushed and put one hand to cover her crotch.
Yuuya: What are you doing?
Marine: Angh~ I thought you were in the mood like all other men are whenever they wake up in the morning.
Yuuya: Who do you think I am? A male version of Matsuri?
Marine: Maybe? You're not interested in my SEXY body~?
Yuuya: It's 6A.M. in the morning, I'm reading my book and Mio is sleeping on my lap, do you think I would consider doing this?
Marine: I don't know! You're a dude, you should at least be horny!
Yuuya: I can have self-control, you know?
Marine: Well I'm older than you, so I have much better control than you do, noob~
Yuuya: You're 17 years old. My body is at the age of a 15 year old but my actual age is 26 years old. I'm older than most of you all here.
Marine: Eh? You're a midget then?
Yuuya: Cursed immortal. I can't age and I can't grow naturally like any other normal person! The only thing I can do is alter my forms to fit the age and mind of what I see fit.
Marine: So you can become a 20 year old dude right now?
Yuuya: I can but I won't you.
Marine: Why not?!
Yuuya: Mio is here and Okayu is watching us.
Marine: Okayu-senpai?! *She turned and looked ahead and noticed a pair of cat ears hiding behind the barrels of ale* S-She really is watching us..
Yuuya: I'll show you my adult form some other time, okay?
Marine: Yay~ Love you lots~
Yuuya: If you say that to any other men, they'll think of something else and it won't be good. Please promise me that you won't say it to anyone else?
Marine: Okay! I'll only say it to you then!
Yuuya: Th-That's not my point but alright. Anyway, Captain. Go get the others, we'll be heading out in a bit.
Marine: Aye! *The girl would then run and leave the room and as she left and totally forgot about Okayu, the boy sighed softly and would look up ahead*
Yuuya: Aren't you going to come out?
Okayu: Can I break the lovely moment from you two? *She asked as she peeked over at Yuuya*
Yuuya: Nothing's going on, just come. *He said with a smile on his face as he would stroke Mio's hair lightly and the cat girl would slowly approach him as she stared at the two*
Okayu: You two sure have gotten close, why's that?
Yuuya: She...Just needed a little bit of attention, that's all.
Okayu: You're really nice, now aren't you?
Yuuya: Hmm?
Okayu: You always help those in need, no matter who they are. You don't take sides.
Yuuya: I choose to help what I believe in and I believe in the happiness of everyone here, besides, I still have to make up with Korone, now don't I?
Okayu: I guess that's true but how are you going to do it?
Yuuya: Whatever comes to mind. I can't just give her a bone and rub her belly, now can't I?
Okayu: Well…
Yuuya: N-No, I won't consider that.
Okayu: Right~
Up in space on the dark side of the Moon above the planet of Holographic, the sight of hundreds of large magic circles were seen warping in giant snake-like creatures down onto the Moon as many resembled dragons and nagas as they were holding onto weapons and such and would head straight into the darkness until a bright light would shine within the abyss of the darkness and created a large and powerful explosion on the planet's surface and gave off an explosion that was in a shape of a cross as hundreds to thousands of different coloured and designed Evangelions were seen running out of the darkness and would attack the massive serpents as there was a massive war on the dark side of the moon. Massive pyramids would appear from the magic circles that were in the air and were unleashing swarms of snakes into the battlefield. One extremely large Dark Snake appeared from the bottom of a massive pyramid as it had dark green swamp-coloured scales with tiny spikes sticking out around its body and had bright glowing purple eyes along with two mechanically armoured arms with the head of a cobra as it was none other than The UnderworldSnakeDeity Authaal. The massive serpent would hiss and roar loudly as millions of other snakes would rise from and appear from both the pyramids and the magic circle as they would all charge towards the Evangelions. Authaal would charge towards an Evangelion that resembled Eva Unit 01 and would clash their hands together as Authaal wrapped its body around the machine, causing it to fall onto its back as the snake would bite into the machine's face and slowly crush its skull. Back on the surface of planet Holographic, Yuuya and the group would return back to the base.
Marine: Aha~ He's so cute~ *The captain said as she would hold onto Yuuya's hand and was walking beside him as she would lightly squeeze his soft hand while Okayu felt a little discomfort from watching and Mio was obviously glaring at Marine from behind while the other girls were all praying for Marine's life*
Flare: I hope Marine comes back as a fish that knows what it's like to die for love.
Pekora: I-I just hope that she stops being horny for shotas like him, Peko.
Noel: I think he is cute, but maybe she's just overreacting.
Flare: You'd think.
As the group entered, Yuuya stopped walking and would create a barrier around the girls as he then created a magic circle and protected himself from an attack that came right in front of him as a military knife was thrown at him.
Yuuya: Hmm? Beerus, Vegeta. Explain.
Vegeta: She insists on fighting against you.
Yuuya: And you didn't try to reason her?
Vegeta: The strong should fight to the death and/or prove their strength if they are worthy to lead! She wants to prove her strength and I will allow it.
Yuuya: Beerus?
Beerus: Does it look like I care? *He said as he was lying on top of a coach that was outside of Choco's office and was eating a bowl of nacho chips*
Okayu: F-Fubu-chan?!
Marine: What-?! Fubuki-senpai! Stop it!
Mio: Fubuki-chan! What are you doing?!
Fubuki: First you come to our world, have us treat you like you're part of our family then you leave without saying a word and then more than half of the planet is dead and you didn't come to save it until now. *The girl said as she would keep her distance from Yuuya and would draw out a long white coloured Katana that glowed in blue and pointed it at Yuuya*
The barrier that protected the girls would then disappear as Fubuki charged straight at Yuuya as her eyes glowed bright blue.

The giant snake named Authaal was first seen in the story of "Curse of Sha Na Na Na" as one of Yuuya's first summoned monsters.
