So it is time for Krystal to be big sister!
So here we go everyone!
Krystal's Harem
Chapter 69: Patrol and Bullying
Krystal was getting ready for work, having put on her uniform and about to head out "I'll be home later~" she sang. The house didn't respond since everyone was asleep still.
"Y'know... That night was crazy." Ship spoke as she and Krystal drove to the Plumbers HQ.
"Yeah." Krystal giggled before she yawned, she hadn't had any sleep last night in the end
"... I'm really hoping you've got an easy job today." Ship commented
"I can get coffee when I get in." Krystal shrugged
"Yeah, okay." Ship sighed gently.
"Look, it'll be fine." Krystal answered as she kissed the Omegatrix
"D'aw~." Ship smiled and purred "Love you to."
They soon arrived at the Plumber's Headquarters, using her ID to get in and saw her work colleagues "Hey guys." she waved
"Morning, Agent Tennyson." Some responded, acknowledging her.
"Guess some of them have heard about the armoury." Krystal whispered to Ship
"Yep." Ship agreed
"And they don't want me anywhere near it now." Krystal bit her lip in worry as she walked on.
"Don't say that. It was your first day." Ship answered "Besides you don't know any of those toys, you've got me!"
"That-that's absolutely true." Krystal answered as she walked to the main room, hoping that she was back in the armoury again to make up for what happened.
"Ah, Ms Tennyson. You're here." A Plumber spoke as the room looked at her enter inside.
"Yes, Sir." She nodded
"... Grand Magister Tennyson wants to speak to you."
Krystal's body froze. 'Grand Magister'? Great-Grandpa Max wanted to see her? Or... Or was it her dad? She felt a deep pit in her stomach as she didn't want to go. It felt like a Parent-Teacher meeting when she was younger. 'I. I'm screwed.' She thought regrettably "Yes sir." she nodded
"Good." The Plumber answered. "Off you go."
Krystal nodded, gulping as she left 'If it's Great-Grandpa Max I'm safe. If it's dad... Oh god.' Krystal thought as she walked to where 'Grand Magister Tennyson' was. Usually in their office. She entered... And saw both men, looking concerned 'I'm dead.' she thought "Er... Hi?"
"Krystal. Good, you're here." Ben sighed
"If this is about yesterday..." she started nervously
"Trust me. I've done worse. I still do worse even now. Don't worry. Not the issue." Ben said seriously "Your Uncle's Manny and Alan have gone missing."
Krystal was silent before her knees buckled from the shock. She caught the door frame to prop herself up. "Un-uncle Manny? Uncle Alan? Missing? How? What happened?"
"We're not sure." Max answered
"Looking at the scenes, they are no clues." Ben frowned
"Can I do anything?" Krystal asked, wanting to help even it was a knee jerk reaction
"At the moment? No." Max admitted "However your father and a small group are heading out to investigate."
"Okay, Grand-Magister." Krystal almost fumbled over her words before correcting herself.
"Meaning you are the worlds greatest defense until he returns." Max added
"Wha-me?" Krystal asked in shock, only for Ben to put his hand on her shoulder with a reassuring smile.
"I know you can do it." he said seriously, grinning proudly at her
She inverted her lips and nodded, holding back the smile and the choked up feeling she was feeling. "I'll. I'll do my best." She answered
"More than enough." Ben nodded confidently
"Does mum know about this?" Krystal asked
"They know." He responded. "Look after your brothers and sisters."
"Okay." Krystal nodded
"Also... Keep your eye on your Uncle Kevin and Helen. Okay?" Ben sighed "There is a connection here... Not sure if I am write but still. Please?"
"Of course." she nodded
"That's my girl." He smiled
"Good luck." she sighed
Krystal tried to keep it together, walking to the training room where a group of other new Plumbers where being out through the ringer
"I've seen better teamwork from bees!" An instructor called out, trying to get the Plumber Recruits to work harder.
"Oh. Look who's finally showed up." one cadet grumbled as they noticed Krystal
"Stand down Drall, Tennyson had a meeting with the two senior Tennyson Magesters." the instructor warned
"Daddy's girl." A second cadet followed up, though under his breath
"Zarx, that's enough out of you too!" The instructor pointed
"I'm sorry, Sir." Krystal apologised
"I know why, Tennyson. Fall in and we'll get to training." The instructor ordered
"Please. She gets a free pass thanks to that gizmo on her arm." another cadet scoffed
...
"Sir... May I?" Krystal hissed weakly as her fist clenched
"By all means." The instructor answered, giving an open hand point to them "Just... don't send them into the infirmary."
Krystal nodded as she let Ship slither out of the Omegatrix. The Bluenette cracked her knuckles before she got into a fighting stance
"Seriously? Us versus you?" Drall asked
"Yeah. You versus me." Krystal answered
"Sounds fair. No gadget or that Mechamorph; right?" Zarx asked
"Just you and me. And her name is 'Ship'." Krystal glared
"And no Omegatrix either. Come at me!" she ordered, looking at the five cadets and their species
"You're on." The three others answered, along with Zarx and Drall.
'This'll be good.' The instructor waited back with Ship.
Krystal's fingers flexed lightly as she breathed, her eyes focusing in on their stances. They all seemed to be in the standard Plumber training fighting stances, some mixed with different alien fighting-stances, but none that she hadn't seen before. All of them lightly trained and full of themselves.
She saw the holes in all of their stances, from the lack of training and the arrogance. They thought this would be easy and that the training they had made them invincible. The second one took the first move. He took a step forwards, and it began. He did the wrong thing by being the first to move
She attacked
"A black belt in human karate. A black belt in human judo." Krystal listed off, her palm colliding with a jaw. She then leaned to the side, dodging a strike so the attacker hit one of her other opponents, before she gripped the attackers arm. She rolled her body, throwing him over her shoulder and into his friend "A black belt in Tetramand grapafu, wrestling and warriorestics." she jumped and did a backflip, dodging a surprise attack from behind.
"Wha-?" her attacker blinked as she literally flipped over him
She landed, doing a swift kick and tripping her for "Five gold guns in Inccarsian hand to hand combat tactics. Rank Sutkataku in Numbersapian non-leathal weapon less combat. Years of my own personal fighting experience." she was now standing tall and delivering a quick flurry of punches and kicks "And intricate knowledge of many species biology to know the best ways to take people out." she span around and gave a powerful kick... Which stopped an inch from Zarx's face. Krystal lowered her foot, standing there like she was lighter than air... As the five fell to the ground and groaned "You are right I was born into an easy life... But I also trained my fucking ass off and learned as much as I could. My dream is to follow my father's footsteps, to be the Galaxy's defender so he can retire in peace. That takes a lot of work. And even without my watch... I kick ass. "
Clap.
Clap.
Clap.
"Well done, Mrs Tennyson." The instructor spoke as he saw his students flat on their faces and on the floor. "Congratulations class. You lasted thirty seconds. Six seconds each."
"Six seconds? Knew I shouldn't have been showing off." Krystal huffed softly "Could have halved that time."
"I've no doubt... But err. You were talking." The instructor answered with a sweat drop, doubting their own skills
"That's why I only said half." Krystal shrugged with a small nod, a cocky grin now on her face
*Time Skip*
Krystal grumbled as she was on patrol with her designated partner, sipping a smoothie. The partner was... not incompetent, nor likeable. Just... difficult to work with. She sighed weakly, looking at her partner
"So, what's the job?" The partner asked, holding the smoothie but not really drinking it. "I mean, it just seems boring with all these sweeps."
"Our job is to be on patrol and look for any problems." Krystal deadpanned
"Won't there be any car chases or anything?" He asked
"... This isn't a cop movie." She groaned
"What?!"
Krystal facepalmed and sighed. 'Why did I get landed with this guy?' But what was she expecting, really. She was more experienced in these sorts of things and she knew this guy was 'green'... And not because he was an alien species with green skin.
"Gotta admit. We are bored." Ship joked
"... That's fair." Krystal admitted and drunk her smoothie.
"What's it like being a Tennyson? Having your family pulling the strings." The partner asked
"Pulling the strings?" Krystal questioned
"Yeah. What's the word... Nepotism. They say 'do this' and we say 'sure'." The partner responded
"... You absolute... No! It's Nothing like that!" Krystal snapped as she gripped her cup "It is nothing like that in ANY way! Or did you not notice that I payed for these Smoothies, and left a tip! And yet we didn't get a discount or extra! Or how about I officially join the Plumbers, with the need to rise through the ranks normally, and I'm not already a higher upl Huh? If there was Nepotism don't you think I'd be something more than a cadet right now?! Do you use your brain?! "
THUD!
The Plumber cadet had fallen backwards and landed on his back from his chair, looking up in shock at her.
"Well?" Krystal asked simply
"S-Sorry Ma'am." He apologised
Krystal just snarled and slurped her smoothie lightly
'Plumbers in the area, we have a disturbance.' Their communicators called out
"What is it?" Krystal asked
'We have reports of a break-in at a computer store.' The communicator responded 'The suspects are a 'Planchaküle' and a 'Galvanic Mechamorph'.'
"Where is it?" Krystal asked as she changed to Speed Queen with a thought
"Hey! What about-whoa!" her partner started to complain before they where picked up
'On Main Street, location is called 'Tech-Wiz'.' The communicator answered to her request.
"Be right there." She responded and ran with her partner in her hands before she took off in a blur
At 'Tech-Wiz' the Mechamorph and Planchakule were making their escape, taking what they wanted and headed to a broken van as Krystal appeared in front of them in a blur
"Stop! This is the Plumbers!" Krystal called
"Shit! We need to go!" The Planchakule panicked as his Mechamorph partner latched onto the broken van and turned it into a cybernetic tank with the computers they stole to add to its size.
"Don't. Just don't." Krystal warned
"Punch it!" The Mechamorph called out and drove, while its partner leapt in the back and began to make something with the computers before Krystal was encased in a blue flash, their van being lifted up by a dinosaur like alien
"Holy crap!" The van screamed in shock.
"It's Tennyson!" The Planchakule followed up, making a weapon from the computers and shot at her... The blast bouncing off her as Ship formed a Crabdozer helmet over Krystal's new head
"What the hell?" The Mechamorph shouted and tried to pull away.
"Fine." She sighed. "Ship."
"On it." She nodded, transforming her helmet into Buzzshock's hands and electrocuted the two thieves, knocking them out. She carefully dropped the van, smirking
"Okay, get the cuffs and the special container. We've got to get these two locked up." Krystal instructed her partner.
"R-Right." her partner nodded, looking at the new alien
"What?" She asked as she turned back to normal.
"N-nothing." He apologised and got a container and cuffs for the two aliens.
Krystal was mainly her Vaxasaurian form, a large burnt orange humanoid-dinosaur like alien, with a pale beige stomach and black nails. Ship's transformation addition was a black battery-like alien with small nodes on Krystal's fingers. The two crooks where quickly handcuffed, their stolen goods being returned to the store
"Thank you very much, Ms Plumber." The store owner sighed in relief.
"If there are any goods that have been broken, please send the bill to the Plumbers." Krystal offered as she reverted to her human form
"Again, thank you." The owner answered as they left.
"You-you're awesome." Krystal's partner admitted in awe.
"That was easy." Krystal commented, the two noticing a Plumber transport ship arrived
"Yeah but... You didn't hesitate or anything."
"Like we said: easy." Ship responded
"What?" The Plumber asked in shock "You're serious?!"
"Ship and I have had years of experience fighting, this street-level stuff is easy for us. And we've had much more training than most Plumber recruits." Krystal answered
"Any trouble, Agent Tennyson?" A Plumber asked
"Nah, it took less than a minute." she joked
"Glad to hear it. And your partner for this mission?" The Plumber asked as the thieves were being taken away
"He's... Learning. To be honest." She answered tactfully.
"Oh?"
"He thinks that being in the Plumbers is like a cop show. Car chases and such." Krystal sighed heavily "That it's action 24/7. Not that it's trying to stop the problem as quickly and safely as possible."
"Ah. Like how many of us were before it was drilled into us." The senior Plumber responded
"Lucky you guys." Krystal rolled her eyes and laughed a bit. After all, she never had that thought. Because of her family, by being raised in this. She knew how dangerous and important all this was
"I know it's hard dealing with the newbies. But... just help show him the ropes." The Plumber answered
"Okay." she nodded
"And if he does start acting up and asking for car chases, throw some regulations at him." The plumber chuckled.
"Sir!"
The Plumber nodded with a smirk and left with the prisoners.
*Time Skip*
"Oof!" Krystal grunted as she fell face first into the sofa at home "What a day." She mumbled.
"Hard day?" Cerise asked kindly as she saw Krystal on the sofa.
"Very." She responded. Her lover sighed at that, rubbing Krystal's shoulders soothingly "Hmm~, thanks, Cerise. How was your day?" Krystal moaned gently as she felt her shoulders getting unwound.
"Good. I cleaned." she said, sitting on Krystal's legs carefully as she worked
"The whole house?" Krystal asked, turning her head to the side. "Your hands must be stinging."
"I'm fine. Besides, I'm used to it." Cerise answered "With... My 'old job'."
Krystal sighed and face planted herself into the pillow again. "Sorry." She muffled apologised.
"It's fine. I enjoy it." she commented
"Your massages are magic." Krystal mumbled happily as she purred into the pillow.
"Are they?" she giggled
"Yeah. They're amazing." Krystal answered
"Care for a drink?" She asked
"Please~"
Cerise soon got up and walked to the kitchen to get Krystal a drink.
"She's too good for us." Ship admitted
"Hmm~" Krystal nodded
Cerise soon came back holding a glass of water for her lover. "Here you go."
"Thanks, Cerise." Krystal sat up and took it. "When will everyone come back home?"
"Not sure." she admitted
"Well. Hmm~! Care for a 'sofa cuddle' and watch TV?" Krystal offered as she stretched.
"Really?" the former maid smiled
"Yeah. If that's alright with you." Krystal answered, patting the seat next to her while Ship turned on the TV,
Cersie nodded and eagerly took her place next to Krystal
CLICK.
Ship had changed the channel onto a show that was about to start, something that was easy for them to slip in and out of without thinking too much.
They all snuggled close, relaxing
*on another planet*
Pierce Wheel's sighed, hiding behind cover. Something had been hunting him for days
He was using his Plumber survivor skills to hide out and try and get contact...but nothing so far. The hunter had destroyed his communications so he was on his own until he got back to his ship.
Suddenly a large red electric blat shot through the wall, a tall and thin man walking towards him
"Oh no!" Pierce's eyes widened in shock as he tried to run, but couldn't. His leg was pinned down by rubble and debris and a red bolt of energy shot through the air, hitting the trainer Plumber in the face and knocking him out
"Capture complete." A voice spoke menacingly into a communicator.
*time skip*
It was the weekend, Krystal was getting dressed after having a shared shower with her lovers and wife. Yeah, their bathroom was beyond massive. They had an entire room that was a literal shower, more like a waterfall "Hey, are we ready to go?" Krystal asked TwoTwo, after sliding her shirt on.
"Yes." the pink armoured woman nodded, finishing buckling up her suit and flinching "Oooh~, sensitive." she muttered, speaking about a bruise on her back she got from pushing against a shower hook a hit too hard.
"I'm sorry, Two." Krystal apologised as she kissed the bruised area. "I don't mean to be so rough."
"Not your fault. I think it was Michelle." Two joked.
"We'll have to be careful then." Krystal answered as she knew how delicate her species skin was.
"I know but, wearing my armour when having sex and after we're married." TwoTwo responded. "It's a bit unfair to the others."
"But I don't want you constantly being hurt." Krystal added
"Well, maybe you and Eunice can think of some special clothes for me to wear. That's something." TwoTwo answered "And make sure it's kinky." she joked
"Of course. The kinkiest ever." Krystal kissed her wife gently "So, you going to practice?"
"Yes, I'm sorry. I did want to see Ren and the kids. But this is an important date." TwoTwo explained.
"No worries. We have all day." she smiled
"Then I'll try and be home before dinner." TwoTwo answered, clasping on her helmet. With the mask in place she kissed her wife, smiling softly "See you for dinner then." She nodded and let her leave.
Krystal was grinning, heading off to the family home. As they left, Krystal locked her home and went to the car, deciding to drive there.
After all, why not?
Vrrm!
"Ooh~, purring like a kitten." She smiled stroking the steering wheel. She couldn't believe this, she finally had a car! "Okay, Uncle Kevin taught me for ages and I know what to do." She mumbled to herself as she pulled out of the garage "I've got my license. I can do this. Its just my family, no need to be nervous." She took a deep breath and exhaled gently, turning the indicator's on and turned accordingly. She was scared she'd look stupid to her family 'Oh god, this is going to go bad; isn't it?' She thought nervously as she drove towards the next-door house 'Calm down, calm down. They're your family. They love you. It's fine.' She told herself, almost like a mantra as she neared her childhood home, slowing down to park up "Okay. Gaps for movement. Brake on... Inches from the curb. I did good." She ran down her instructions.
She got out of the car, laughing to herself. This was one of the best drives she had done. She was really proud of herself.
Bweep
Bweep
"Car locked." She nodded as she approached the door, knocking calmly
The door opened and revealed Fifi standing there. "Krystal! You're here!" She smiled and hugged her.
"Anyone order a daughter?" Krystal joked
Fifi just hugged her and laughed. "I'm glad you've made it."
"How could I miss it?" she smiled
"Come in, come-Did you take the car?" Fifi asked
"Yeah, I did." She nodded
"Wow. " Fifi smiled. "I knew you could do it."
"Krystal?" The kids popped their heads around.
"Hey, it's been a week." she waved. And of course she was met with hug after hug "Yeah yeah, I missed you to!" she chuckled happily
"We missed you." Kitty said sadly
"Oh, sorry kitten." Krystal flinched, kissing the little girls head "I'll be sure to visit more often, okay?"
"Kay!" she grinned
"Come in, come on!" Fifi urged, the group heading inside "I hope you are hungry."
"For your food? Always." Krystal beamed
*elsewhere in the galaxy*
Ben frowned as he stood there in the destroyed base, his fingers following the ripples in the metal where powerful and vicious claws ripped through the hull "Manny..." he muttered in worry
"And that is the report, sir." a Plumber who had been acting on the station explained
"So you're saying this thing was some sort of humanoid spider monster? Like a Terroranchula hybrid?" Ben questioned
"Yes."
Ben sighed heavily as he looked around, rubbing his slightly bearded mouth, being deep in thought and decided to use his aliens to analyse the scene.
"Sir?" The plumber asked
Ben activated his Biomnitrix/Ultimatrix hybrid and transformed into Brainstorm, to examine the crime scene before he evolved further. He turned into 'Ultimate Brainstorm', a large blue crustacean alien with many legs, four large pincers that he had full control of, a thick exoskeleton and a fixed face. "Now. Let's begin the recreation." He said as his brain shell opened and green lightning shot out... And became holograms
Ben began to examine the location and take small amounts of trace evidence to piece together the scenario of what happened.
The plumber saw a hologram of Manny and a humanoid figure with the face of a Terroranchula, the closest approximation Ben could think of right now.
"Alright. Let's run the scenario." Ben spoke as he stood back, seeing the full location and saw Manny escape and shoot at the Terrorachula figure. It was a very detailed recreation of the fight and how Manny was taken away.
"What does this all mean?" The Plumber asked
"I'm not entirely sure. They've only targeted certain Plumbers so far. And whoever has done this they were careful. This DNA is mutated to such a degree, it can't be considered just human." Ben responded "We need to gather all the data we can, however."
"At once, Sir!" The Plumber nodded and stepped to attention.
Ben sighed as he watched his holograms, this was worrying
*with Krystal *
"Ninety-nine. One hundred! Ready or not! Here I come!" Krystal called out as she was searching for her siblings. She has to giggle, it had been yeas since she had played a game with them like this "Where are you?" Krystal called out as a sing-song as she 'lurked' through the rooms and corridors. She giggled, moving almost silently. She peeked through a door, into one of the many bedrooms... and saw the slightest protrusion of a foot "Oh! I think I'm close~!" she sang
The person inside tucked their feet in closer, trying to hide from Krystal.
Krystal tip-toed into the room, just slightly off from the feet. "Gotcha!" She belt down and looked under, seeing Kitty.
Her little sister squealed and giggled, hugging her "Hi!"
"Oh! Ya got me!" Krystal smiled as she was hugged upon. "Want to help me find your brothers and sisters?"
"Yeah!" she nodded
"Okay, then. Let's go!" Krystal pointed to the door, with Kitty mimicked her
"Go!" She giggled
The two looked around, going to about three other bedrooms for their searches.
The game was a foot!
*Elsewhere*
Helen was working out at a lead someone had sent her. Something about a 'smuggling ring'. A child smuggling ring. As a mother and one of the higher up's of the Plumber's, she would not stand for this. She wasn't taking any chances on being 'a hero', if there were many people here, she'd need backup immediately. She had her tracker on and her Proto-Tool out, ready for any random attack.
Luckily she was confident with her abilities and her skills, with her husband she was at the top of her game. She carefully walked towards the craft that was left in the secluded forest, she had a feeling that this would be a scout ship or a transport ship of some kind... but it looked small.
She frowned, quickly readying her weapon. As she approached, she looked inside the ship... and saw covered pods. Nearly a dozen pods in all. Her grip tightened on her gun, the speedster snarling. She grabbed one of the cloths over the pods and pulled it down, dreading who was in there and how many. As Helen looked at the frosted screen of the pod... nothing. There was no-one inside.
"... what?'" she blinked before she took off at super speed, unlocking all of the pods. Nothing. Again and again... Nothing. What was the point of this? Was she too late? Too early?
SLAM!
"Huh?" She asked in shock, seeing the hatch of the ship close. She frowned... And made the door explode as she used her weapon at full power, racing outside "If you think that would hold me... You've another thing coming." Helen called out angrily "I am a High Magister! I'm not that easy to take down!" and then, with well trained skill, she jumped to the side and rolled out of the way of an attack
It was a heavy laser-blast. Red, almost radiation blast, causing a deep powerful boom in the ground where she was.
"Show yourself." she called confidently as she got behind some defensive protection. Emerging from the forest's shadows was a deep red glow coming from a black and silver suited being and shot at Helen only for his beam to be countered by Helen's. She crouched slightly and zoomed at super speed, smashing the guy across the jaw
THUD!
"Argh! Hnn! You're skin's like metal!" Helen grunted, flexing her hand in pain. Even if she hit with her proto-tool, the kickback had HURT
PEW PEW PEW!
ZOOM!
"ARGH!" Helen screamed as she was shot upon by more lasers, causing her to lose her footing before more lasers flew through the air, preforming cover fire as a large platoon of Plumber's arrived
"Ma'am, are you alright?" A Plumber asked
"Yes. Do we have a good visual?" she responded
"Yes, we've got visual." The Plumber answered
"What are they?" Helen asked as she took aim once more and opened fire
"One was an Aerophibian and this one is a Prypiatosian-B. But the latter is... thinner than ones we've seen." The Plumber answered
"Thinner?" Helen frowned "So we only have two hostiles?"
"Supposedly." The Plumber answered. "ARGH!" And was cut off.
"Crap. We need to escape." Helen frowned
"Mrs Tennyson, we-CKHHH!"
BOOM!
"Oh god!" Another Plumber panicked before being cut off again.
Helen frowned and returned fire 'Damn it all.' She glared as she fought back, only to be shot in the back by a laser."Hnn! Damn it." She began to shoot behind her, trying to get an eye on the opponent as she escaped 'D-Damn it. Who the hell is this?' She thought in anger, before a bolas shot out at her legs, tying her up. She blasted the Bolas, zooming off as fast as she could while grabbing as many Plumber's as possible 'Damn it all. It was an ambush!' She thought, carrying three Plumbers on her shoulders as she sprinted off at super sonic speeds back to the Plumber's base "Stay here." She instructed her fellow Plumbers. "This is Helen Tennyson to Plumber Base. There was an ambush."
*with Krystal*
"Ah~, that was fun." Krystal exhaled happily with a glass of lemonade in her hand while the kids were drinking their own drinks.
"Yeah!" they laughed
"Can I ask something?" Krystal asked
"Sure." Scout nodded
"How's school going?" She asked making all but Atem whine. Well, Kitty and the younger kids did giggle because kindergarten was fun "That bad; huh?" Krystal asked
"Yeah. It's tough." ML-E answered.
"Hmmm~" Luna whined
"Luna? Luna, what's wrong?" Krystal asked tenderly as she knelt down to her level.
"I..." Luna muttered before she looked away
"She's getting bullied." Scout growled protectively "We all act as body guards for her. She doesn't want to tell our parents, she thinks she's being silly for being upset."
"Who's bullying you?" Krystal asked protectively.
"It's not important." she mumbled
"Luna. Bullying is never a good thing. If someone's bullying you, you need to tell someone. A teacher, dad, mum... Just someone."
Luna hugged her leg slightly and whimpered "I don't want to be more of a bother..."
"You're never a bother, Luna." Atem held her hand gently.
"Look. I'm going to come to your school on Monday. And you show me who this butthole is. Got it? No one bullies my baby sister." Krystal encouraged and teased "What has he been saying?" she asked ML-E and Scout, since they where still in the same grade
"Not nice things, that's to be sure." ML-E frowned
"Tell me." Krystal encouraged
"They called her 'stupid wolf', 'dummy'. 'Dyslexic puppy'." Scout frowned as he recounted the names.
"'Looser'. 'Weirdo'. 'Freak'. 'Teachers pet'. 'Spoilt brat'." ML-E kept talking
"We don't mean a single word of it, Luna." Atem reassured his sister.
"I know." Luna nodded
"... There was even the 'R-Word'. No way I'm saying it." Scout finished up. "That was taped on her locker."
Smash!
And the glass cup in Krystal's hand shattered
Kitty, Ren and Betty flinched as they saw their eldest sister smash the glass in her hand and with a steely look on her face, holding back the rage in front of her siblings. "Luna. I'm going. To go. To your school."
"O-Okay." Luna stuttered, unsure what to say
"Good." Krystal exhaled slowly and nodded once. "But first... The first aid box." She shook her hand, having some shards in her palm.
"You okay?" Ship asked, covering her hand
"Glass shards. In my hand... I'll be okay." Krystal nodded as she slowly got up and went to the kitchen for the bandages as Ship carefully took out the glass. "Hnn! Thank you."
"You know I don't mean it like that." Ship frowned
Krystal sighed heavily as she put her wounded hand under a cold tap. "I thought this world was passed this level of abuse. Kids learning this horrible language from a generation who refuses to change... or-or just think that it's funny? I'm just disgusted. Or what if it's from their older siblings? I just feel sick about it." Ship frowned and hugged her, rubbing her back "Ship, is my generation-?" Krystal asked
"Don't even finish that sentence. You're not responsible for this regressive generation's problems. You're only one person." Ship answered "And it isn't even your generation. The world... Thanks to your father, thanks to you and your family, the universe has become so much more inclusive. But just like how that hasn't stopped crime, there are still these entitlrf and selfish people."
"Thanks, Ship." Krystal answered as she stopped the bleeding and wrapped her hand up. She kissed the Galvanic Mechamorph softly
"You're a good sister, Krystal. You'll sort them out." Ship responded
"Yeah." Krystal sighed
*Plumber's HQ*
Helen hissed as she was getting bandaged up "I'm sorry, Mrs Tennyson." The medic apologised as they wrapped her up.
"It's fine." she nodded softly
"What were the casualties that were there?" The medic asked
"Nearly all of us." Helen answered "These guys where trained. Probably ex-Plumbers. They knew out strategies."
"Did you get any descriptions on them?" The medic asked
"An Aerophibian and an Prypiatosian-B of some sort." Helen explained
"'Of some sort'? Meaning what?" The medic asked
"They were different. Nearly fully human, from what I heard and saw." She answered "Like hybrid's. But the first hybrid Plumber's are all around my age, and we have no records of them."
"Actually... That's not true, Helen." Max sighed
"Max. What-what do you mean?" Helen asked as she saw her grandfather-in-law and Magistratum.
"A long time ago... There was a project to put human agents on, in the scientists words, 'the same level as aliens'. You and the rest of our old crew, your kids. They are or natural hybrid's. These... Where artificially made one's. It was a project that was quickly shut down and the Plumber scientist in charge, a magester called Servantus, was kicked out of the organization." Max explained "But we also thought he might be continuing these experiments illegally without our knowledge."
"Damn it." Helen frowned. "Then, those pods."
"Probably Servantis bringing back his experiments." Max answered "Or experiments he has been working on for a long time."
"Explains the Plumber training." Helen admitted "They certainly had balls to attack me in the most protective place in this galaxy."
"Meaning he's possibly got means to get at you." He frowned
"But how have we not heard about what he's been doing?" Helen asked suspiciously
Max sighed heavily. "I don't know. But if he's managed to do this while underground, I don't know what he's capable of now."
*? ? ?*
"You fools!"
"Sorry, Sir. She's too experienced." The metallic skinned humanoid apologised and was blasted back by a red mental energy blast
"I told you she was THE LAST target to acquire! If you had succeeded we would have had to rush our time table, and rushing causing massive holes to form!" their leader ranted "And even in failure we are not safe, because they are now more aware of our very existence because of Maxwell Tennyson!"
"We are sorry sir." the woman flinched
"You had better be." he hissed "We will slow operations before targeting Mr Levin, wait for the perfect opportunity which would make this seem like an accident. Luckily this gives us plenty of time to work on our... Guests."
