"It's been a few months now. What took you so long." Mikazuki.
"Sorry I had a lot of work to do."
"Well it doesn't matter anymore, your back and now the party can start!" Shino.

Chapter 3
Reunion and Explanations
[location-Village]
After the villagers got over their shock of recent events, Grace lead Tekkadan to Masahiro's tent, the latter was still out cold but Grace told them he would recover in just a few days. There was much medical equipment inside the tent where Masahiro was held, however, some of the medic's moved the least necessary ones out of the way a bit to make room for some more members to fit in. As of now, Orga, Mika, Akihiro, Shino, and Biscuit.
Orga, before he entered the tent look behind him after feeling a pat on the back. Bright yellow eyes met brown ones, paired with smooth, grey hair, and a young face and body frame. Orga was a bit confused, as he didn't have any records of anyone with this face or these colours. However... if that was so, then that means.
"I-I'm... my name is... Pedro, I was a member of the Brewers," Orga held a stunned face as soon as he heard the boy's name and the mention of one of the space pirates they defeated, Brewers, "and I'm pretty sure that you know... but, I-I was killed by one of you..." the fact had both unnerved the now named Pedro and Tekkadan's leader
While Orga was not one to dwell on the past too much, he did regret not being able to save, or take in all of the kids that the Brewer's ship held on deck. And the fact that he was speaking to one of the guy's that whose life they took just made his heart squeeze painfully.
...
...But... now that life is behind them, and now that they are in a new world with a new life,. It's time to bygones be bygones and forgive each other for what happened in the past.
Orga turned his attention to the kid, and they looked at Orga as his hand extended to him, "Thank you all for your help. I understand that we don't have... the best history with each other... but... let me be the first to say that we're all sorry for what happened, and we can assure you history won't repeat itself here." his hospital and kind voice helped to gain some trust and assure Pedro, and he became brave enough to grab and shake his hand, albeit while showing some nervousness, "Allow me, as the boss of Tekkadan, to welcome you and some of your friends to our family, to Tekkadan." Orga said, his hand moving from Pedro's hand, to his head so that he could ruffle his hair a bit.
While some trust would still need to be established, Pedro could tell when a grown up was being honest with him or not, and judging by this guy's posture, his lack of stammering, and his solid eyes all were things that helped him confirm that this guy was not lying.
"I... thank you Org-ah, I mean... boss, we won't let you down." Pedro said, giving a full salute to the oldest teen, and a small smile.
"... You and your friends can call me Orga, if ya want that is." Orga eyes averted from Pedro, to the small group of other kids a few meters behind them both.
He left the boy and went inside the tent that the others were in. Inside, medical equipment, tools and a bit of blood in a few places could be seen. Lying in the middle of it all was Akihiro's younger brother, peacefully sleeping under green sheets.
Around the young boy were the following members, either sitting next to him and standing up. Things were quiet among them, as there was a lot to say, but... no one could really usher a word, and things stayed quiet for a bit.
...
...
...
"So... Biscuit, mind telling us what's going on around here, I'm... lost as all hell." Shino said as he sat down on a chair along with everyone else, getting rid of the tension in the air.
Eyes turned to him, and Biscuit kindly asked in return, "Well, what do you all want to know first?" Biscuit asked, a bit awkwardly.
It's been quiet a while since he got to talk to... anyone from Tekkadan, and for them to just show up randomly and then ask questions was something that Biscuit wasn't prepared for.
Orga was the one to ask the first, and a fairly important question, "Before we go into the whole 'we're on a new world, and we want to learn about it' thing, tell us about these... Grimm." Orga asked as he folded his arms.
Thankfully for Bescuit, that was a pretty easy topic to explain, so he would begin at the start, "In Remnant, the Grimm are monsters which have been the bane of humanity for as long as history could record them for. It's widely believed that they are creatures without souls. No one knows where they came from or... anything else really, but they almost nearly wiped out humanity, had it not been for the discovery of Dust." Biscuit explained, his details really bringing in everyone's attention, in many different ways.
"Bane of Humanity my foot. Every. Single. Mobile Armor that I have encountered has not only put up more of a fight than those things human's call Grimm, they have also killed many more people and have shed so much blood to the point where I question how the oceans have not been painted red. These Grimm are nothing but bugs compare to us." Gusion angrily stated, feeling insulted that such "insects" have been pushing humanity into a corner for so long.
"W-wait, Dust? How does something as useless as Dust help?" Shino asked, looking very incredulous as to how something that collects over time could fend off such monsters.
"Shino, I Don't think he means dust that you could find just anywhere." inferred Flauros, causing even more question marks to come out of the teens head.
A quick laugh escaped Biscuit's lips, and he went into detail as to what he meant, "I'm not talking about that kind of dust, Shino." Flauros let out a laugh similar to Biscuit after hearing that he was right on the money,
"According to ancient legend, mankind was fighting a losing struggle against the "creatures of darkness", a.k. . However, through their resourcefulness and ingenuity, humanity managed to discover and harness a source of power that they named "Dust" in order to fight back." Biscuit continues to dive deeper into the subject.
"The discovery of Dust became the turning point in the war between man and the Grimm. As legends state, after mankind drove back the Grimm, and built civilizations, Dust became integrated into everyday life within Remnant. Despite its widespread use and prevalence in society, humanity has still does not understand the origins or the implications of their involvement with Dust." Biscuit explained as he handed Orga a pamphlet as the others gathered around to get a better look.
In the pamphlet was more information on Dust, written in an article style.
As it states, Dust is known as a naturally occurring, crystallized energy propellant, triggered by the Aura of humans and faunus for unknown reasons. Dust does not function outside of the atmosphere of Remnant, precluding the possibility of space flight.
Types of Dust
The four basic Dust forms:
Dust can be found in four basic types. These four types can be combined both artificially and naturally to form other dust types, each with their own unique properties. Different colors of Dust corresponds to their different natures or effects.
The four basic colors are shown to be red, blue, yellow, and green. Other known colors include dark blue, cyan, white, purple, bright orange, etc. Each color has its own unique property as well:
Wind or Air, Fire or Burn, Water, Ice, Steam, Gravity, Earth
Crystalline and Powdered:
Dust can be found in two distinct states, crystalline and powdered. Both crystalline and powdered Dust are known to be highl unstable, and should be handled with care to prevent any explosions. Both powdered and crystalline Dust can presumably be activated by Aura.
"Interesting." Orga said as he finished reading the pamphlet, and while reading, everyone noticed some peculiar things that were there that have been yet to be defined.
"What's... Aura?" Mikazuki asked Biscuit, his eyes still in the pamphlet.
"Aurais the manifestation of one's soul, and it can be used for a wide range of abilities. The specific abilities and strengths of Aura differ from individual to individual, and it is dependent on a number of factors, like experience, training, and initial skill. Aura is used mostly for defense as it acts as a shield around the person." Biscuit explained once more, no traces of annoyance for these questions being asked.
"So, if that's true, then can aura block things like swords or... a bullet?" asked Akihiro, his curiosity reaching a new peak for all this new stuff.
"Yeah, sword strikes and bullets are blocked from your physical body as long as your Aura is still being produced, but you still feel the pain and Aura needs time to replenish, a person who drains their Aura will be as vulnerable as any other human. But Aura is replenish able, the user just needs to rest in order to regain it."
"I see... can... can any of us use it?" asked Orga, his eyes looking at his own hands, before they traveled to look at everyone in the room.
"I don't think so, I'm not sure why, but ever since we discovered that we could turn into Mobile Suits, none of us have been able to unlock Aura. I even tried to have Grace unlock it for me, but in the end, her attempts didn't work." disappointment was written all across Biscuit's face, as remembering that day reminded him that it would've been awesome to have such an ability.
"I see..." he wasn't the only one who felt the same way, as Orga held a similar expression upon hearing that
Mika spoke up again, and this time, he would speak of a simpler subject, "Who or... what is a faunus?"
"Well that's an easy one to explain, faunus are humans that have parts of an animal, like horns, tails, ears, you name it... but..." Biscuit's explanation took a drop in enthusiasm, as he had a sad look on his face that didn't go unnoticed by the others.
"I just gonna go on a whim and say... they're not that well accepted into society?" Orga asked, hitting the nail right on the head.
"No, they don't they have it as tough... at least when compared to Human Debris... but that doesn't mean things are any better." everyone had seen what "normal" people would do to a guy labeled as 'Human Debris', and so they felt ready to hear the next lines, "Some Faunus are used for slavery, some have been put into jail for just the smallest suspicion that they are a criminal, but the worst part of being a faunus is... how discriminated they are."
Human Debris was the first image to pop into everyone's mind, and this time, the thoughts of children becoming slaves to "normal people" have been replaced with people of all ages, being abused, being insulted, and being sacrificed like fire wood you'd through into a campfire.
"Eventually, a group of faunus couldn't take the abuse anymore, and a criminal group known as the 'White Fang' came into existence. They were originally a peaceful group that stood for faunus rights, but now they started attacking humans and other innocent people, not only making it hard for humans to live peaceful lives, but making it nearly impossible for other faunus that want to live peacefully to just... exist anywhere. Before anyone knew it, the tension between humans and faunus's rose, and now... here we are." and there, Biscuit's story ended.
...
...
...
It was surprising to say, but... the story of this 'White Fang' organization reminded them of... Tekkadan. The origins of both sides were very similar, and the deeds that both organizations did were probably not that much different.
But the difference, the MAJOR difference between the two, was racism. The fact that the White Fang had done almost the exact same thing as humans have done to them was just them being racist in kind, and that was just a child's way of solving problems. Sure, it wasn't right for humans to do what they did, but that didn't give faunus the right to just... kill innocent, or do the same thing.
Tekkadan welcomed both Human Debris, and regular people of all cultures, and that was why Orga, Shino, Akihiro looked angry. Heck, even Mika looked annoyed at these guy's actions.
Orga took the time to take a few deep breathes to calm himself down, before his questions about Remnant continued.
Things dragged on for about less than an hour, and at that point, everyone ran out of questions to ask Biscuit. Right after Biscuit said his last word, the other Tekkadan teens allowed all the info to sink in.
"Man... this place is crazy." Shino said with a grin on his face, showing that he had a definite interest in Remnant now.
"On a rare occasion, I agree, this world is interesting."added Flauros, sounding less irked with Shino this time.
Everyone had began whispering a few words amongst each other, and Orga took in the sight of them while smiling. Chatting inside a dimly lit tent, with his old friends surrounding him, have a talk that wasn't related to any battle. Just a casual talk.
It was nice to see this again... though, Orga noticed one person that wasn't as enthusiastic as the rest. He looked to Mika, who had sat down next to Masahiro now. However, his eyes and the way his head was tilted, made it seem like his eyes weren't even on the young man. That posture just gave Orga a feeling that, something was wrong.
He walked up to the shorter teen, and he gave his shoulder a few taps, getting his head to turn to him, "What's wrong, you don't look as good as everyone else." he said with a slight grin.
Mika's head then turned away from his lifelong partner, and he looked up to the roof of the tent with a thoughtful gaze, "Well... if we are on a different world that's far away from Mars... then... what about or other friends... what about Atra and Kudelia...?" said Mika, the las part mentioned in a low whisper that only Orga heard, to which the following showed a shocked face, along with the rest that heard the following.
... Silence had completely taken over the whole tent, and everyone inside held down casted faces, thinking of all of the other family members that they have left behind by dying and then coming here.
The tension remained in the air, and no one spoke a word, until Orga did, with a smaller and more sympathetic smile, "I'm sure there doing fine… we all know that everyone that was a part of Tekkadan is strong, in their own way at leasr." he said, bringing the different faces of everyone a bit, as they all turned their attention to their leader once again, "I mean... sure, our deaths and... some of our sudden disappearances may hit them hard at first... but... in the end, they will grow older, and eventually, even if it's not completely, they will learn to live without us." the tanned man's smile had become sad at the end, as giving the worldly life lesson really dampened the mood now.
Still, it helped to be reminded the fact that all of Tekkadan, including Mika's to... women, had strong hearts, and in the end, they would grow up to live normal lives now.
Mika then looked to Masahiro, a smile as small as Orga's adorning his face now, "Yeah... I guess so..."
Sad and understanding smiles came upon everyone, and they looked at each other a couple of times, before turning their heads to Akihiro's younger brother as well.
But... Mika wasn't quite done yet, "Still... I did promise Atra and Kudelia I'd help name the baby after the war was over..." his eyes saddened again, and everyone... had no initial reaction at first.
Orga gave Mika's shoulder a firm and reassuring squeeze, "Come on Mika, it's not like you to be like this, I'm sure the girls and the baby are fi..."
...
...
... Silence immediately fell as soon as everyone realized what Mika just said, and there bodies froze on the spot. Their eyes were blank for those few seconds, and their muscles didn't even make a twitch.
But the first to break the silence was... everyone.
"Eh?"
"Huh?
"Ah-?"
"Gah-?"
[Scene Change]
The village was relatively silent after the Grimm raid ended and Tekkadan took refuge in it. The idle chatter, the sound of footsteps, and the sound of labour taking place throughout many parts of the village were to only sounds.
"*Sigh...* this all... a bit much to take in..."
A few meters away from the tent that held Masahiro were to rookie level Tekkadan members, one a teen with messy, off white hair. And the other a child, with messy, orange hair.
Hush and Ride have not changed at all upon arriving to Remnant, much like everyone else that lived in Earth/Mars/Space.
"I know... I mean, we've traveled between Mars and Earth a couple of times, but going onto a completely different planet that defies all the logic we know is just... i really don't know how to put what I feel into words." said Ride, scratching his cheek while looking at the wrecked state that the village was in.
Another sigh was made by Hush before he turned his head towards the tent that wasn't so far away from them, "Yeah, it's something that your mind just can't come to terms with... and it will probably stay that way for a long time." he said, sounding a bit skeptical at the same time.
The both of them looked to the clear sky at the same time. It was now the midst of day, for it took them a bit of time to settle into the home of these villagers, and of course, trying to comprehend the situation they were in.
"Well, I guess now that we've been given a "second life" we can enjoy the time that we have for no-"
"WWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!?"
Both of the youngsters, plus just about the majority of the village, flinched at the loud scream that came from the tent, and their eyes turned to the following with very shocked and afraid faces. Ride and Hush had nearly jumped out of their pants upon the screeches ringing in their ears, and dread filled their minds as they looked to the tent where some of the most important Tekkadan members resided in.
[Scene Change]
"YOU... YOU HAVE A... a... you have a... a... WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?" Orga had begin to stammer more than he ever did, ever, and his expressions became unreadable as his thoughts delve deeper into what Mika just told them all.
Their incredulous faces and wide eyes just made their disbelief all the more dramatic. And Biscuit's was among the most comical of them all.
"A-A-A-A-A-ATRA AND K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-KUDELIA?!" and after Orga came Biscuit's stutters, and comparing them, Biscuit's were more uncontrolled them the other..
The noise had begun to make Masahiro stir in his sleep, as he began to turn his head and make groans when the sounds occurred.
"Mika having... a baby?" Akihiro was a somewhat different case, as he tried to imagine what a baby of Mikazuki would look like.
A small thought cloud appeared next to the brawn's head, and ideas were brainstormed. A tiny body with a tuff of black or ivory colored hair on top, paired with blue or red eyes... seems likewise.
Only question is: a boy or a girl?
Amongst the incredulous faces and exclamations, one individual in particular had very different thoughts on this subject.
"Hooohohohohehehehe... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAH...! O-oh my... MIKAAAAA! OH I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD OF YOU, EVER- HOHOHAHAHAHAHAHA-" Shino, as of now, was on the floor, pounding his fist onto the ground while holding his sides, which were beginning to hurt.
"Hmph, well, color me impressed, this boy isn't as oblivious as he let's on." said Gusion, a small laugh and a bit of humor laced into his sentence.
"Um... does anyone else know about this?" asked Akihiro, a small bead of sweat going down his cheek while he looked to the smaller individual.
"Well... no. I did... well, that thing you need to do inside Barbatos." Mika's laid back expression just made the faces of his other friends all the more comical, all while Shino had begun to laugh his ass off even more.
He wasn't the only one chuckling though, as a voice that no one else but Mika could hear had been doing the same.
"HmheheHAHAHAAAAAAH! Aaahhh... ho... out of all of us, I think it's a matter of fact that I have the best pilot." Barbatos said with the utmost smugness and pride.
"Barbatos... you lucky devil..."stated Flauros, the last noun have two meanings in the context.
[Scene Change-Location-Mars-a few days after the Tekkadan vs Gjallarhorn war]
Sakura's farm was still as lovely as ever. Crops were plentiful, the setting sun illuminated the scene and the soft and nearly weightless greenery flew away with the wind. Everything looked as if it was set for a perfect picture, and there was only one person in the picture. A girl with ivory colored hair, and bright red eyes.
"Atra!" A feminine and young voice called out the girl on the fields, a person with bright blonde hair tiad into a pony tail
Atra Mixta turned her head and her red eyes saw her good friend and, would be sister wife, Kudelia Aina Bernstein, waving to her from across the field while walking towards her.
"Ah, Kudelia!" Atra exclaimed as she dropped the box she held in her arms and ran over to the purple eyed blonde.
Both of them ran into each other and gave a quick hug, enjoying the fact that they were able to see and interact with each other once again. Their embrace was released soon, and both of their eyes met.
"It's been a few days now, and I was pretty worried since were had to separate." said Kudelia, holding up both of Atra's hand's with her own while showing a relieved smile.
"Yeah, but were back together now, and I'm glad your okay too." Atra offered smile just as bright back to Kudelia.
Both of them turned their heads towards the cornfield, appreciating the fact that it was one of the few things that stayed the same after all these years, and after what happened.
...
... Speaking of which, it's been a few days since the war with Tekkadan against Gjallarhorn ended. Everyone had all but evacuated the scene, and... a lot of people died.
"Did you… did you find anything." Atra asked, her tone of voice completely changing from happy and relieved, to sad and... desperate.
Kudelia's smile dropped slightly, and she looked to the ground to avoid Atra's saddened eyes and face. She couldn't bring herself to lie about what she knew, but at the same time, it didn't feel good to tell her about it either. She didn't want Atra to be sad in either way.
So in the end, she came out with the truth, "No... there is no sign of Barbatos or Gusion and all the other Mobile suits are gone." Kudelia said, regretting it almost immediately when Atra's face has obscured by her hair.
Neither of them moved or talked after Kudelia revealed what she knew, and their once bright and smiling faces were gone now. They couldn't understand just how Mika and everyone else were just... gone, and how none of their Mobile Suits were found. But that didn't really matter, what truly mattered to them was that everyone was gone. Akihiro, Shino, Orga... Mikazuki, all of them were gone.
They left them.
... But, this also meant something else.
"That means they are alive somewhere." The sudden deep and saddening mood was gone, and Atra spoke up confidently and optimistically, "Mikazuki is strong... he's always been able to pull through tough situations somehow, and... if everyone wasn't found, then that means they're out their somewhere!"
The strength and surety in Atra's voice caught Kudelia completely off guard. She couldn't believe she was able to take that in and then still have a strong belief and confidence in her beliefs. She was able to pick herself up and still have hope, and she felt so proud and happy for her. Her hands reached out to grab one of her hands, and she gave them a firm squeeze, "Yes, I feel the same. I know they will return to us, so until then, we'll wait form them"
[Scene Change-Location-Mistral]
"ACHOO!"
A loud sneeze rang throughout the rented apartment, and the man on the couch, wearing white themed clothes, had released a loud sneeze.
"Catching a cold, darling?" The smooth voice of a mature and grown women called out to the man clad in white.
Amida, dressed in nothing but a white robe, walked over to her husband, and draped herself over him, placing her head on his shoulder.
Naze wiped his nose with his sleeve a few times, before he looked to the side to see Amida's beautiful face, and smiling, "No, Amida. But, I think that was my brother, or possibly another women talking about me." The man said causing the other girls to stop cuddling and look at him as Amida proceeded to wrapped her arms around the man shoulders.
Amida wasn't the only women their, many other girls were all but cuddling with the grown man, hugging him and many different parts of his body. Amida a small chuckle to escape her lips, "Very funny, you naughty man." she said, humorous and flirty.
"You have brother Naze?" one of the new girls hugging his arm asked.
The question brought a bigger smile to Naze's face, and he looked up to the ceiling, thinking about Orga. "Yeah, I have a younger brother somewhere out there. And let me tell you, he and the rest of his family can be a handful." he said, thinking back to the times when he was back in his old home, with Orga, Mika, and all the other boys and his wives, "He's immature sometimes, persistent, and it's hard for him to be a leader when he prioritizes his families safety too much."
He thought back to the good old days, when Orga was still developing himself as Tekkadan's leader, when he would need to teach about multiple things occasionally, when he would help him back up should he fall to the ground. But he also remember how powerful he was, he his love for his family gave him the strength to keep going, to become stronger for their sakes.
"But in the end, while he may be lacking in some areas, Tekkadan couldn't have had a better leader." Naze said
"I wonder how Akihiro doing." Lafter said
