TIME DIMENSION- 199 YEARS LATER...
Tsukune was resting his head on a cold surface of a dining room table, while his friends were sitting at the table with him, including Michael who just sat at the table.
Food... need food...
Tsukune was prepping and conditioning his physical form for different types of stress, he looked through the kitchen seeing Kasano frying something on the stove with Luise hanging over him with her tail going side to side.
Kasano was frying up the rice to a nice light brown color adding salt and butter to the mix, flipping the pan causing both the rice, salt, and butter to mix and sizzle. Turning the burner down on low, he moved to the fried potatoes and fish. Kasano's eyes kept moving to each pan on the burner making sure each was cooking to perfection. Kasano moved to the Pan frying chicken adding seasoning to it, before adding the diced vegetables containing carrots, green beans, Broccoli, and mushrooms. The fourth pan on the back left burner had chow mein noodles frying on the iron skillet, Kasano quickly started adding seasoning for flavor and a tad of soy sauce, as he stirred it.
In truth Kasano enjoyed cooking, he was hoping after the war, he'd retire as a Guardian and be a professional chef... if that was even possible... that was all before the Guardian War started when he took up arms against the Guardian Council. That dream was ripped from him when Vengeance filled his heart and mind... it was sickening to say the least. Now that Michael was back he is reminded of the true war, the War of Armageddon... which he is predicting could be any day now... it seemed he'd be dead before there would be any peace..
"Kasano... it smells sooooo delicious..." Luise said hanging over Kasano her arms wrapped around his chest. Kasano manipulated each pans physical form dumping it's contents in to four large bowls. Kasano smiled at his success seeing each of the bowls filled with mouthwatering food.
Kasano put the food on the table, with most of the occupants at the table practically drooling from Kasano's handywork. Michael put down his book raising his right eyebrow, huffing as he went back to reading as he really didn't approve of Kasano's hobby. Alexis set the table quickly as drinks were being handed out by Yukari.
Quickly as the food began to be dispensed to the hungry occupants, many were praising Kasano for his deeds. "Don't you think it's a good idea to say our prayers before we start to eat?"Alexis asked the table. "I'm game..." Nick stated to the table putting down his knife and fork. "Michael would you care to start?" Alexis asked Michael who put down his book. "...Very well..." Michael replied as he crossed his hands together putting them on the table, letting everyone quickly following in suite. "Dear Lord, Our God in Heaven... we are grateful for this meal and Kasano's skill at providing us with such a feast, we ask you to continue to guide and protect us through these dark times... while nurturing the bonds and friendships we have forged through our time together...In your name we pray... Amen..." Michael unfolded his hands as he opened his eyes lowering his hood, most of the people at the table just looked at Michael. "What?" Michael asked seeing the eyes on him.
"your hair's short just like Tsukune's." Omote giggled. "Yeah I thought you always had Long hair..." Kurumu said seeing his short hair. "No I like to keep it short." Michael stated as he ran his left hand across his hair. Kyoko looked at the food, trying to figure out what to try first. "There's so much! Hmm fish with the rice? Or Noodles with Rice... Rice with chicken...Potatoes with rice.." Kyoko was trying to name the possible combinations with Rice.
"Uh.. Kyoko why don't you just grab one of everything...?" Tsukune asked as he was doing exactly what he said he suggested. "I really shouldn't..." Kyoko replied with a nervous expression on her face.
Kokoa tried to grab a large piece of chicken though Moka had her fork on the fried poultry. "I had it on it first Moka.." Kokoa said in a challenging tone.
"Don't be foolish Kokoa, my utensil was clearly on it first." Moka responded with an equally challenging tone. Michael rolled his eyes looking at the chicken. "For God sakes you're bickering like children!" Michael yelled as he held out his right hand aiming at the chicken, Michael's eyes lit up a bright bluish white, duplicating the chicken.
"Whoa..." Both Ruby and Yukari breathed out in astonishment, seeing Michael do that. Michael moved his right hand back. "How did you do that?!" Kyoko shouted at Michael, seeing that was impossible to do that... well the impossible of what she knew now. "I just tapped in some of my Elder Dragon abilities..." Michael explained to Kurumu.
"Elder Dragon?" Mizore asked chilling her rice.
"…. Yes... the species out there...let's use the Dragons as an example.. we're divided by tiers for Guardians and Warlords it's all in the blood line... There are Warlords/Guardians who have just strong Dragon blood in them have limits to their abilities.. However stronger blooded Warlords/Guardians have a stronger touch to their spiritual and energy abilities... Then there is the rare high breed descendants of the Elder Dragons, I am one of them.. I have a seemingly limitless power the potential to keep growing stronger with the blood of the Elder Dragon running through my veins... like you Tsukune..."Michael turned towards Tsukun,.;e, while Tsukune nearly choked on his food. "Wait What?!" He exclaimed hearing that from Michael.
"Ever since my soul was with in your body, your genetic structure was changing to suit our survival, that much you know because I told you... while leaving an adverse effect." Adverse effect rattled Tsukune's mind as Michael chowed down on his noodles, Kurumu placed her right hand on Tsukune's left hand on the table.
"What do you mean Adverse effect?" Tsukune asked Michael, leaving him to stop eating. "Prior to our separation, every time you called upon my powers or summoned me to take control... Our Genetic structure was merging, your blood line was becoming mine.. The amount of Aono blood in you began to deteriorate, quickly as the Elder blood sustained you... When we separated was the last straw, for it to fully embrace you, effectively making you my descendant... in essence my son." Michael stated to Tsukune, causing him to nearly fall over, while the entire table freaked out except for Nick who was quickly chowing down on the food.
"What?! Wait what?!" Tsukune exclaimed while Kasano just snickered with Luise trying to feed him. "Oh Great thanks for the information, anything else you're keeping from me?!" Tsukune shouted placing his palms on top of the table standing up. "Yeah he's your brother" Michael pointed at Kasano with his right index finger, causing Tsukune to fall on top of the table, while everyone excluding Nick and Kasano who flipped out in their own way. Kasano put on a cocky smile, rubbing the back of his neck."Hope you guys are enjoying the food..." Kasano chuckled while Tsukune's head was figuratively spinning having this information thrown at him.
Tsukune had a bright red aura around his form as he gritted his teeth unsheathing his blade. "THAT'S IT! I'M DONE WITH YOUR SECRETS!" Tsukune shouted jumping on the table charging at Michael who was calmly sitting down on his chair as Tsukune quickly made his way towards him, Michael leaned back, falling back against the ground rolling back and quickly rising to his feet drawing his Elder Sword. Tsukune quickly collided his blade Michael's.
"There at it again..." Mizore stated eating her cold rice that she froze. Michael was laughing as he saw that Tsukune was doing well. "YES! That's it keep it up!" Michael praised Tsukune as he quickly made a mad dash to meet up Michael's counter attack. Tsukune made several slashes going faster than he's gone before.
Tsukune kicked Michael through a wall breaking the rest of the wall as he stormed through it, Michael quickly returned the favor by throwing Tsukune back through the destroyed wall. Tsukune began manipulating the furniture around him throwing it at Michael. Michael easily deflected each furniture thrown at him, as it was thrown behind him. "I wanted to enjoy my last moments here! But noooo! You had to be your secretive self by releasing information out like that in bits and pieces, telling us half truths!" Tsukune shouted charging Michael again.
Several Seconds later...
A huge explosion set the mansion to pieces, with mostly everyone on the ground from the shock, with the exception of Nick who was just enjoying his meal indifferent from the destruction. "Awesome Dinner and a show!" Nick exclaimed seeing the utter destruction and fire around him.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Tsukune and the others reappeared back at Yokai academy in the dead of night, most were glad to be back in the real world. Kyoko took a breath of fresh air as she was finally out of that seemingly endless time dimension.
"Wait but Michael what about our final test?" Omote asked as she was sitting on the real ground of Yokai Academy. Michael stayed silent as he just looked at the group. "It's a surprise... it'll hit you when you least expect it... so don't get cocky." Michael said smiling underneath his hood as he turned towards the Academy.
Michael's words put them on edge as he was known to launch training tests instantly. "Kyoko." Michael called out to Kyoko, whose attention was towards Tsukune worried for him. "Huh?.. Oh sorry yes?" Kyoko turned towards Michael. "I've done all I could for you at the moment, but you've been gone a day, and I'm sure Jon and the others will be wondering where you are... go.. Go help them... just remember all that I taught you and your new equipment.. Don't tell him anything about what you saw... I can't have my plan disrupted..." Michael ordered Kyoko, who remembered that before she came to find Tsukune for an explanation, she was supposed to be with Jon and the others as they prepare to enter Tokyo City under it.
"Oh shit that's right!...But wait what about the rest of you?" Kyoko asked the group. "My... apprentices will be here with in a week... we need to deal with them before going to Earth..." Michael knew from the bottom of his heart that dealing with his apprentices was the last thing he wanted to do.
"...alright... I guess I'll see you with in a week then?" Kyoko asked Michael. "Yes if all things go well... then yes we'll meet up with you at Tokyo." Michael stated as he did not know what to expect on Earth. Kyoko rushed over to Tsukune hugging him tightly, which Tsukune tensed up a bit, before returning the hug. "Please be safe Tsuki..." Kyoko said as she hoped this wasn't the last time that she and Tsukune would see each other.
"You too Kyoko... watch yourself." Tsukune said to Kyoko as the two broke the hug. Michael snapped his fingers teleporting her back to Tsukune's house. "You all earned a day's rest... though I mean it keep on your toes.." Michael said as he walked towards the campus.
A week's time... with in that week Michael will no doubt launch his final test against us... so I have to expect anything can happen, out of anywhere, at anytime... if that Timed Dimension has taught me anything is to always be calculating, predict, counter, and avoid.
Tsukune took a sigh of relief though as he was back to the real time zone... though a disparaging feeling of time of the real world... in the Timed Dimension at least they could get away from the end... for a while at least.
Kurumu jumped on Tsukune's back cheering and laughing."Yahoo! WE'RE BACK TSUKUNE!" Kurumu's enthusiasm got the better of her as she pressed her breasts against the back of his neck. Mizore trapped Kurumu in a prison of ice, making her instantly fall off Tsukune, so she could approach him grabbing his left arm, snuggling up against it. "Tsukune why don't we go celebrate?" Mizore asked before she was kicked by Kurumu who surprisingly broke from her prison. "Uncalled for Mizore!" Kurumu shouted seeing Mizore was kicked up a tree. "Says you... you were clinging on to poor Tsukune as he had something on his mind..." Mizore stated jumping to the bottom hitting the ground perfectly.
"Clinging!? I'll show you clinging!" Mizore took flight charging Mizore, who immediately summoned her ice armor.
"Hmph... fighting like spoiled little girls..." Moka stated standing by Tsukune who seemed distracted at the moment. "Spoiled or not, I'm going in there!" Kokoa shouted going in to the fight hoping to get a piece of the action.
"Um... Kokoa, I don't think that's such a good idea," said Tsukune, "if you get caught in the middle of their fight that's going to make the problem bigger, not smaller."
"Well maybe you didn't get the memo bub, but sometimes to clean up a small mess, you have to create a much bigger mess," Kokoa said as she kept going in.
"Kokoa that doesn't make any-"
But Tsukune stopped talking as soon as Kokoa jumped into the fray. He pinched the bridge of his nose, knowing he should've seen this coming. Actually, he did see this coming, he just didn't want it to happen.
"That's your sister alright," he said as he turned to Moka.
Moka didn't say anything, instead she was just staring off, with her arms folded across her chest. Tsukune raised an eyebrow.
"Moka?" He asked.
No reply.
"Moka?" He repeated.
"Hmm?" She asked, snapping out of her daze.
"Are you alright?" Asked Tsukune, "you looked like something was eating at you."
Moka paused, then she nodded.
"I'm fine," she said, "don't worry about me Tsukune."
Tsukune opened his mouth to speak when he whirled around fast to the sound of Mizore, Kurumu and Kokoa hashing it out in their three-way fight.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Quit pulling on my pigtails, you bitch!" Screamed Kokoa.
"No! This is what you get for jumping right in the middle of our fight!" Snapped Kururmu.
Suddenly, Mizore came up behind the succubus and smashed a big block of ice on her head, causing Kurumu to go to the ground along with Kokoa, who was still in her hand. Tsukune shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose again.
"This is going to get worse before it gets better," he muttered.
"Oh I wouldn't say that," said Moka, "I think this will wind up being pretty interesting."
Kurumu jumped to her feet and put her ring on, her armor forming itself around her body almost instantaneously. A metallic shnack was heard as her claws opened up, getting ready to tear at Mizore like a lioness to a gazelle.
"Hey you big-boobed ditz!" Barked Kokoa.
Kurumu turned and took a hammer to the face, sending her flying into a tree with full force. Mizore gasped, seeing that the young vampire had her armor on and her little bat friend was in her hand, Mizore readied herself, her ice sword at the ready as Kokoa came at her with her "Kou Hammer". Both girls swung on each other, their weapons colliding with full force, Mizore's ice sword cracked and shattered, from Kokoa's hammer, giving her an opening to swing at her ribs this time.
"Take this!" Exclaimed Kokoa.
Mizore steeled herself and raised her arms up, blocking the first strike and only stumbling slightly before conjuring another ice sword in her hands to engage the vampire in front of her. Mizore jumped at Kokoa, who; but was intercepted by Kurumu, who knocked her sword back and kicked her back a few feet before jumping at her, claws aimed at her neck. Kokoa grabbed Kurumu by the leg, swung and slammed her into the ground with a powerful slam before Mizore charged in and sent Kokoa flying with a shoulder tackle to her back.
"That looked like it hurt," said Moka.
Kokoa jumped back to her feet and turned towards Mizore, who was coming at her with her sword, ready to swing on her. As Kokoa gripped her hammer, she saw Kurumu coming up the rear. A devious smile stretched across Kokoa's face as she blocked, struck Mizore in the stomach and struck her again in the face, sending her flying towards Kurumu, knocking both girls to the ground with a dull thud.
"Two hits for one swing," said Kokoa.
Mizore threw Kurumu off and unleashed a blast of ice at Kokoa, he jumped out of the way and gave her hammer a quick twirl, transforming it into a two-handed greatsword. Mizore and Kurumu both gasped and jumped out of the way as Kokoa jumped and brought her weapon down with a powerful slam.
"That's new," said Tsukune.
"I know," said Moka, "she usually transforms the bat into a club or a hammer."
Kokoa swung at Mizore, who generated a wall of ice to block the attack, only to have it become shattered. Mizore, who was too slow to dodge the oncoming weapon, took the hit from Kokoa's sword; her armor shattered and she was sent flying to the ground with a hard thud.
"Ugh... damn bat," Mizore groaned before passing out.
"Hey Kokoa!" Screamed Kurumu.
Kokoa turned and jumped back as the succubus lashed out at her, only grazing her armor slightly with her long metallic claws. Kokoa growled at the succubus, her grip on her sword tightening. Unlike Mizore, Kurumu had wings, which meant that she would have a much easier time evading her attacks. Just then, as if on cue, Kurumu spread her wings and took to the air.
"Hahaha! Let's see how long you can keep swinging your weapon on me, Miss Vampire," she mocked.
Kokoa growled.
"When I get up there I'm gonna-" but Kokoa was cut off after an ice block came flying and hit her square in the back, sending her to the ground with a dull thud.
"I thought I took you out," Kokoa growled as she jumped to her feet.
"You think that one hit from that big-ass knife of yours is going to put me down?" Mizore asked as her armor had regenerated.
Kokoa grabbed her greatsword and gripped it tightly. Kurumu, who was still flying up in the air, made her way over to the ice woman and landed right beside her.
"She's tough, any ideas?" She asked.
Mizore pondered.
"Hmm... I have an idea, but it's going to be pretty risky," she said, "follow my lead."
Kurumu nodded as Mizore charged at Kokoa, generating a sheet of ice and sliding her way towards her opponent. Kokoa swung at Mizore, causing her to duck and slide right behind her, with the vampire distracted, Kurumu spread her wings and flew towards her. Kurumu's claws extended from her fingers and she swung, just as Kokoa was about to turn around, slashing her across her right shoulder.
"Argh!" She yelped.
Mizore generated a sheet of ice and slid past Kokoa, shooting a beam down at her feet to freeze them in place and giving her the opportunity to come in and punch her square in the jaw. Kurumu, who had turned around, flew in and slammed into Kokoa with a shoulder tackle, bringing her to her knees. As Kokoa rose to her feet, Mizore charged and slammed into her with a shoulder tackle, sending the young vampire forward.
"Why you-"
But Kokoa was cut off as Kurumu came flying in and kicked her square in the chest before jumping back and landing right beside Mizore.
"They're using synchronized attacks in order to take her down," thought Moka, "smart."
Kokoa, who was knocked back a few steps from Kurumu's attack, was still standing after the hits. Mizore and Kurumu were dumbfounded.
"Still?" Asked Kurumu.
"Vampires..." Mizore said as she shook her head.
Tsukune sighed as he made his way over to the three, who were still going at it, like no tomorrow. "Girls don't you think we've had enough fighting for one day?" Tsukune asked causing them to stop for a moment to look at their lover.
"But Tsukune, she started it!" The girls sputtered in unison as they pointed at one another.
"Look we've been trapped in that Hellish Timed Dimension for two hundred years... we've been through thick and thin, work, fought, bled, and laughed together... don't you think fighting each other is pointless?" Tsukune asked the girls as he didn't want to see them fighting each other.
"Well, technically I just wanted to get in on the action, and not feel left out," Kokoa said as she gave him a sheepish grin.
"Well you have an excuse for that... but I mean it... we got a week left of possible peace before we're thrown in to the fire once again... and plus Michael's plotting for our final test, so tiring each other out over rivalries... that has to stop... there are no more second chances here we're not in the Time Dimension... we die here we don't come back.." Tsukune reminded them knowing if an injury claimed them... that would be it.
The girls looked at each other, then they looked down in shame. They knew he was right.
"Sorry Tsukune," said Mizore.
"Yeah... sorry," said Kurumu.
"I'm not!" Spat Kokoa, "I would've been able to keep going if it wasn't for you."
Tsukune just grabbed Kokoa by the arm pulling her in for a hug causing her to stop for a moment, becoming all flustered. "I promise they'll be a bigger fight to come.." Tsukune promised Kokoa.
The vampire looked down and buried her face in his chest.
"Okay," she said shyly, "I'm... I'm sorry."
Kokoa gingerly hugged Tskune back.
Kurumu quickly rushed to Tsukune hugging his right side of his body. "Tsukune you know how to resolve conflicts!" Kurumu praised kissing his right cheek. Mizore sighed with a small smile as she approached his left. "Now let's head back to your room..." Mizore said with intentions in her voice causing most of the girls eyes to break open.
Oh no...
"NOOOO!" Kurumu and Kokoa screamed as they pounced on the ice woman.
"Here we go again," thought Moka.

Outside the Aono Residence...
Kyoko teleported on a branch, quickly regaining footing on the tree she jumped down with ease, landing on the ground with perfection. Moving her right index and middle finger against the right side of her head where it was nearly touching the ear, Kyoko concentrated on the link.
"Jon?" Kyoko used telepathy to communicate through the device to contact Jon.
"Kyoko, hey we've were wondering where you've been, contacted you twice yesterday, no reply." Jon was relieved to know the Necromancers or Technomancers didn't get a hold of her.
"Yeah sorry about that, I was beat yesterday, exhausted from doing some research on the maps from the sewers going under Tokyo city... where are you guys?" Kyoko asked securing her sidearms one her hips, while securing her knife.
"The Ihop diner" Jon said as he put down his cup of coffee.
"Okay so I'll meet you there, we'll make our move on the Sewers on your go." Kyoko strapped her beretta 50 cal. On her back, the equimpent started to go in to cloaking mode.
"Wow, Kyoko your voice has confidence in it, Hell of a change from the nervous girl we met." Jon sounded surprised as hearing some steam behind Kyoko's voice.
"I just want these creeps off of Earth..." Kyoko said as she began to move quickly from building to building, thanks to her training and the physical blocks Michael removed.
"You and me both... But still it's nice to hear that... we'll be needing it..." Jon said as something was on his mind.
Kyoko jumped to the next roof of a corner store building making a mad dash to the next one. "Jon what's going on?" Kyoko sounded worry hearing Jon's tone in his voice.
"…. The Unholy alliance between the Necromancers and Technomancers, have stepped up their game in hunting down the 8th Wielder... Intel suggests that they're either desperate or on to a lead..." Jon said as what he was telling Kyoko did not sound good at all.
"What do you mean by desperate?" Kyoko asked as she was nearing the dinner.
"….The Necromancers and the ringleader of the operation Miotis... They're kidnapping children now... they're processing them for elimination to find the 8th Wielder quickening their search..." Jon informed Kyoko of what was happening in just one day.
"Processing them for elimination?! What the Hell is that supposed to mean?!" Kyoko demanded as whatever they were doing to the children being kidnapped... sounded unspeakable.
"That's all I know, and that is what's driving mad... they could be killing them, as they have no use for Children...Or something worse... Necromancers could have other uses for the non wielders..." Jon was truly horrified about finding out that information.
"Oh my God..." Kyoko said as she didn't even want to think about it now... she's fought them in the Timed Dimension through past battles... she knows what they're capable of now, especially if they're desperate if it turns out to be true. "sit tight I'm nearing the Diner..." Kyoko ended the call jumping off the building and on to the pavement, making her way in to the diner. Kyoko opened the Diner doors, she was adorned in black cargo pants, Kevlar armor over her black tank top, under her black leather jacket, she had matching color combat boots, and black fingerless gloves. Kyoko saw Jon and the other gathered around at a corner seat by a window.
"I'm here.." Kyoko announced to the group, Jon turned towards Kyoko's voice, his eyes widened seeing her in that attire, the others shared the same look. What came to mind for Jon, was that she was indeed busy..."So mind telling me where that Intel came from?" Kyoko asked sitting down by Jon, looking at the map that was previously marked with new marks on it. "Yeah... a Necromancer that was spared... she told us about the kidnapping of Children... and it was all being done quietly.. Services are going down all over in the city, she also told us about the four black circles on the map... she said they were obelisks of some kind, and they were nearing it's final stage of construction... " Jon informed Kyoko pointing to the pepper shakers on the black circles.
"Obelisks?" Kyoko asked not knowing what those were.
"Towers of some sort... though whatever it's purpose we have to destroy them... before they use them for whatever their plan is for them." Jon said as he was worried what the Necromancers and Technomancers had planned.
"Is there any chance that the 8th wielder is already in custody of the Necromancers?" Kyoko asked Jon, worried about the children. "If the 8th wielder is, we'll be finding out soon enough as like I said they're ramping up their operations by processing them for elimination..." Jon replied to her downing his coffee.
"These unwelcome guests need to die..." Kyoko referred to the Necromancers and Technomancers. "Agreed... though we need to get in the city first, then we have to find the Crest of Light immediately..." Jon said as that was a important objective get the Crest out of their possession.
"Jon say that we do... what about the Children in their custody? You think they'll let us get away with that without consequences... they'll kill them.." Kyoko told Jon of the possiblitly of a Necromancer retaliation.
"…... we're out of time... Kyoko we'll get them out, but if they have the 8th Wielder... they won't have use for them...God only knows what's happening to them..." Jon got up from his seat followed by the others.
"So... now or never?" Kyoko asked Jon as he folded up the map. "Yeah... now or never... this is it our last chance to get in, that unholy Alliance stepped up their search because of our attempts to get into the city... That's why they attacked us out in the open on the subway... they got desperate... now we pushed them to the point where they're worried we'll get in and confront them... even with their elites they know taking us on will hamper their progress... this is their last push to find the Wielder and if they're lucky they'll find him or her by tomorrow morning..." Jon said to the group. "We all knew the score coming here... we knew what we were chasing... though they caught us off guard by their little alliance with the Technomancers..." The others who previously had mixed expressions were immediately coming to tune with the same expression... assurance... determination. "If they beat us here, and get the 8th Wielder it's over, they'll hand the 8th Wielder to our enemy, and whatever this Alliance is planning it ends here and now... now let's go stop their schemes." Jon's hands were forming fists as he was ready to deal with this. Putting his right hand on the table, with the other putting it on to form a pile, Jon looked at Kyoko as she smiled putting it on last. "Ready..."Jon said as they all looked at one another. "Break!" They all lifted up their hands from their commitment in this task. Within seconds they were out the door heading towards their location, to travel under the city, to gain entrance.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Technomancers were working round the clock shutting down services and pretending to be them to avoid suspicion as they continue to operate in Tokyo City. The Technomancer hackers had important tasks, surveillance, disruption, despatchers, informers, firewall security and making sure any Civil services are directed away from the Obelisks and or areas of Interest.
"Ha, dumb asses don't know we're fucking with their broadband communication on the police scanners.. " Hey Technomancer laughed as he saw more first responders being directed to another part of the city.
"Yeah, yeah... Cut the chatter and get back to the monitors, no Human Law enforcement is to reach Sector Zero, Nine, or Eleven, those areas are supposed to be dark until tomorrow where we can begin the massive processing of sorting out the non wielders.. " The Superior Techno Hacker said as he was sifting through files.
"Speaking of Processing, what's being done to the sobs?" The Inferior Techno Hacker asked the Superior one.
"Don't know, don't care, that's the Necromancer's problem." The Superior kicked his feet up on the consoles desk watching the hundreds of monitors. "All that matters to me is when I'm getting my: bonus, hazard, and finders pay." The Superior Techno Hacker stated just thinking about the payday he was going to receive when this was all good and done.

Michael and Kasano were sharing a drink as the sat at the mess hall, Kasano took a sip from his mug tasting it. "...White grape wine...600 A.D.?" Kasano asked his father as Michael smiled taking a drink from his. "Close... it's actually 690 A.D." He replied chuckling, about him being on the right number. "What so funny, I'm not a expert at Wine drinking..." Kasano pouted as he downed his mug.
"True you have to have experience at it, I've been to a few parties during the Rise of the Golden Empire." Michael remarked reminiscing about the old days. "….A shame mom couldn't be here..." Kasano mentioned his mother Ganet Hiratushi, pouring more wine in his mug.
Michael just stared at his glass looking at the contents. "…. Your mother... was a good woman... I should've never left her, had I known that she was Pregnant." Michael deeply regretted leaving Ganet, he wish he never made the journey to Necroria.
Kasano sat in silence with Michael for a few moments before downing his drink, then filling up his mug again."Well you're the only family I got now..." In truth, Kasano was glad Michael was his father, he was always the person he aspired to be. "….well... not exactly.." Kasano brought the mug to his lips preparing to drink. "Except Tsukune..." Kasano replied drinking his wine.
Michael hesitated for a second seeing Kasano downing his drink."You have a half sister..." Hearing that Kasano spit out his drink to the side. "What?! Since when?! How long did you know this?!" Kasano demanded seeing Michael was keeping that a secret from him. "When I saved your ass from Necoria, and left that evening... I found an old Love interest... I met up with her after your mother's death... a couple years...her name is Riley... I didn't get to meet her, though she knows of me." Michael told his son.
"Which house?" Kasano wanted to know of what nobility was she from. "Lealthin" Michael said downing the last of his drink.
"Lealthin... that's far west... She's a house under the rule of the Golden Empire..." Kasano stated seeing she was deep in the territory. "That's not all.. She's a Guardian as well..." Michael added on putting his glass down.
"…... Oh..." Kasano said seeing as his sister was fighting under not only the Golden Imperial banner but the Guardian Council's forces as well.
"Does she know of me?" Kasano asked Michael with him shaking his head. "No... for all she knows she's my one true and only heir... but you're the only one that I legitimized in to the Alritizon Family line." Michael reminded his son as he poured them some more wine. "Does she know you're alive?" Kasano asked Michael stopping him from drinking.
"No, I made sure Alice didn't tell Riley that I was alive, she would've abandoned her job and quickly went searching for me... I can't have her running around with people asking questions." Michael said fearing the repercussions. "I see... Dad?" Kasano asked putting his hand on Michael's glass. "Is that all?" Kasano asked fearing he'd have a stroke from any more surprises. "...that's it..." Michael said dazzling Kasano's head, causing a look of irritation to form on his face.
Luise quickly jumped on Kasano's lap giggling as she kissed him passionately. "Hello my hubby, wubby!" Luise said as her cat tail appeared. Kasano moved his hands around Luise's form holding her closer. "And there is my future father in law!" Luise exclaimed with Michael nearly choking on his drink. "Michael since my father is indisposed of... would you care to walk me down the ais-" "No." Michael flat out rejected Luise causing a look of disappointment and shock on her face.
"WAAAHAHH! Kasano! You're dad doesn't approve of our love!" Luise cried in to Kasano's chest, Kasano to lightly rub her back. "There, there, it's alright... he didn't mean it like that..." "No I did, don't approve.. Completely... though I won't stop what'll make you happy... especially if it involves her..." Michael made it clear that he wasn't... approving of the relationship, mixing her blood line to the Alritzon family, that has carefully bred for generations.
"WAAAHHAHAHAH! Kasano he's a big old meanie!" Luise cried and pouted, tightening her grip around Kasano. Michael got up from his seat walking away, with a smile on his face.
