Hi guys, it's me again. Sorry for not updating this fic for a VERY long time, but I had a lot of things to do during that time, and my life was just a total maelstrom. Chronic depression makes it hard to motivate myself in dark times like these.

I'm in my senior year in high school right now, so I've been even busier than last year. But rest assured, I have much more free time. Unfortunately, most of my free time is consumed by college apps. (Yes, I'm applying to college. I feel so old.)

For anybody who is actually reading this fic, I thank you. And for those who are new to this ride, I promise you that you will not be disappointed with what I have in store for you in the future. I took time for the following chapter to be partial plot, partial filler. So you do want to pay attention to some of the details, although I will rely on your imagination of various environments...

I came to the realization that describing anime/manga characters in wording is a wee bit difficult. (considering how some anime light novels turned out, jeezus) I mean, the original description of them is in the format of imagery, not syntax or vocabulary, so it's a little difficult. (It sounds like I'm making excuses here...oh well.)

A bit of a note on OC's in my opinion. I was really careful to not make a similar mistake that fellow fanfictioneers tend to do and accidentally make one of the characters into a complete Mary Sue. (For those of you who don't know what a Mary Sue is...please look it up.)

Anyways, here's the fourth chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Sora no Otoshimono or any other works related to the original series other than this fic.

Chapter 4: Tomoki

The thick clouds parted, revealing a massive green field. The grass left not a single patch of earth exposed, and covered the entire land with a green carpet further than the eye can see. It looks like as if it were a solid ocean, with its many hills forming waves and textures on the ground, creating a strangely serene and mysterious landscape.

"Wake up. Please wake up!"

There was a young woman kneeling on the ground. She had long light blue hair that reached down to her waist. Her bangs covered her eyes, so her eyes were not visible. She was clad in a light white gown, and nothing else. If it weren't for the white feathery wings that sprouted from her back, she would have looked like an ordinary person.

Daedalus kept on pushing a boy who was in front of her, lying still on the ground as if he were sleeping. He made slight groaning sounds, but otherwise, he was still as stone. His calm face gave Daedalus some level of content, but she was still trembling in fear.

Finally giving up, she stood in defeat, and patted the boy on the head in a sense of false calmness. Then she screamed at him.

"No, why won't you wake up? This isn't like before, how everything turned out alright! No, no, no!"

Tears began trickling out of her eyes, and she simply began to sob. The desperation she felt couldn't be expressed, only that she wanted to change it into a force for productivity. Her clenched fists rushed up to her face, and wiped her tears. The stains of the paths that her dried tears made remained like scars, but she didn't care.

"Bad men are coming to take them. All I wanted to ask you was to protect my daughters but…I guess I can ask you to make them happy until it happens…Chaos might have a chance…I hope."

Daedalus started to weep and cry, as she knew that the men who were coming were literally the personification of evil. An incident she remembered which happened years ago reminded her of this every day.

What happened to their last target…nothing was left of her except for her eyes and left wing…he claimed he ate the rest of her…alive. I could have stopped the order but I didn't.

As she clutched her head with one hand and lost her composure in her trembling fear, she pounded her fist against the ground in anger and frustration. There was so little to do to prevent this, much less stop it. And the only methods she could think of were too dangerous.

She looked back to the boy who lay on the ground, and noticed that his body was beginning to flicker and fade, like white noise on a television screen.

Tomoki Sakurai…this might be my last goodbye…so goodbye.

As Tomoki finally disappeared, Daedalus took a deep breath. She looked up at the deep blue sky above her, seemingly stretching into infinite. Closing her eyes and by letting the sounds of the surrounding clouds fill her ears, she felt a sense of peace.

"All right, do you know what time is it?"

The unexpected voice caused Daedalus to rapidly turn around in surprise, only to be frozen in place with horror and fear as she saw who it was. The pain of his hands gripping her head wasn't felt, as it was overwhelmed by her shock that he pulled her out her Dive Game device.

"It's time for you to wake up."

Sorami-cho. It has a population of a little over 7000 people. Life is simple in this town, with the occasional festival and town events serving at the moments of excitement, but otherwise, a very simple town.

Until recently, this town was much like this. But of recent events, this simplicity was disrupted. It all started with a boy, named Tomoki. Tomoki Sakurai.

Tomoki woke up, and he took a deep sigh. It was a fine Saturday morning, and it was the most peaceful moment he's ever felt in a long time. His black hair was ruffled, waving all over the place, only to be patted down by his youthful hands.

He rubbed the morning soreness from his eyes, and Tomoki changed into his regular outfit of tan shorts, and striped blue shirt. As he slid the door open and stepped into the hallway, the cold floor stung his feet while the warm summer air hit his face.

Tomoki Sakurai, a young teenage boy who used to live in a house by himself, just wanted a peaceful life. By all standards, he was just your average Japanese male teen. The only part that heavily distinguished him from nearly all teens of his age, was his extremely perverted tendencies, which was unmatched by anyone, except for his late grandfather.

He entered the living room, where he sat on a dark blue zabuton, which is a relatively flat pillow that was common for people to sit on. The waxed surface of the table in front of him reflected his face, his black hair still ruffled and jumbled from a rough night of sleep and odd dreams.

"Master, here is your tea." A pink haired girl, named Ikaros, walked into the living room, and set a cup of green tea on a round table. She was in the average height category in girls of her age. Or at least, girls who appeared to be the same age.

She was in fact, an ancient super weapon who was released from her confines in a land called Synapse a while before this storyline. To Tomoki, who or why she was released was not important. Sometimes, this mystery becomes a hinge in the door of trouble, and often times people get hit by that door as a result. Despite how he doesn't admit it though, he did enjoy her company.

And then of course, Nymph came along.

"Tomoki, where are the snacks? I can't find anything in the fridge, and I can't really touch Alpha's watermelons so…"

Nymph entered the room, or at least, now stood in the doorway of the living room entrance. She had thin pigtails that reached down to her waist, which had a lovely sky blue color to it. She wore a light green dress, complete with a blue skirt that she found in Tomoki's closet. Similarly to Ikaros, she also came from a land in the sky called Synapse. Why she decided to turn her back to the land that created her could be anyone's guess at a glance, but Tomoki, Ikaros, and their friends knew better.

"Um, didn't you eat all of them? I mean, you're the only one who eats them in the first place."

"Th-that's so not true! Delta stuffs her face with snacks all the time too!"

"Well Astraea's stupid, so she has an excuse."

Another blonde haired girl barged into the room, her mouth stuffed full with rice crackers and mushrooms that she recently 'obtained.'

"Hmph, hm fmuff fmud muh fmufuh? (Hey, who just called me stupid?)" Astraea's voice was muffled, due to the amount of food that had stuffed in her mouth.

"See, what did I tell you?"

For Astraea, a lot of what Nymph said is true. She may be a real beauty to look at, but she has the IQ of a 7 year old or potentially worse. But what she lacks in intelligence she makes up for with her…womanly aspects.

Astraea swallowed her food, and yelled at Nymph. "Nymph-senpai, that's not fair! You always ate the snacks and I always had to eat mushrooms!"

While this massive argument as to who eats the most was unfolding, Tomoki pushed his tea to the edge of the table and covered his head with his arms. His frightened body shrank, and he cuddled on the floor with a pecking triangular smile on his face, as he tried to ignore the increasing number of household projectiles being thrown by Nymph and Astraea.

Around now something hits my head.

Bonk!

A wooden doll head hit Tomoki's head as Astraea threw it in frustration. Nymph picked up a tangerine on the table and threw it, only for it to end up hitting Tomoki's teacup, spilling hot tea all over his pants. He could feel the tea soaking through the fibers, and spreading through his cotton underwear. It lapped onto his skin, and that was when his body virtually jolted from both surprise and pain. And hot tea on your legs is fairly painful.

"ARRRRRGH!" Tomoki leaped into the air and rolled all over the floor, and he eventually came to a stop when he hit a wall.

Why does this always happen to me.?

"Master is hurt!" Ikaros immediately stood up, grabbed Tomoki, and threw him out of the living room. The tone of her voice immediately changed from that of gentleness, to that of a robotic and mechanical nature. "I must eliminate the source."

Ikaros' eyes turned from her natural green, into a bright dark pink. As her former casual clothes seemingly melted away and transformed into white mechanical body armor, pink wings erupted from her shoulders, nearly spanning across the entire room.

"Locating all enemy forces." The targeting system installed in her body locked onto the tea cup lying on the floor, with its contents of green tea all over the floor.

Uh, oh.

Nymph and Astraea both ran out of the room, because they knew what would happen next.

"Firing Artemis." Ikaros armed and fired one of her primary weapon systems, Artemis, which was a guided cluster missile system. Of course, firing such a weapon indoors would have devastating results.

And in an instant, the living room was literally obliterated. As in, the only remnant was a burnt television, which sputtered and dimmed.

"All of you, get out! As in now, now, NOW!" Tomoki's anger overflowed when Ikaros destroyed his living room, and three angeloids flew away from the home as various household appliances were flung out of the front entrance.

Once they were a safe distance away from the house, the three of them turned to each other.

"We just give him time to vent. He'll be back to normal by the time we come back."

"I hope it won't be so long." Ikaros looked worried, and she clutched her hand against her chest in concern.

"Who cares? Let's go to Sugata-senpai's place, maybe he might let us stay until then." Astraea said in a carefree manner, and sped ahead, flying towards a forest in the distance.

Three individuals…in the sky…one appears to have blue hair and translucent wings…another seems to have pink hair with pink colored feathery wings…the taller one has white wings and blonde hair?

From a bench in the middle of a park, a man in a long trench coat was looking through a pair of binoculars at the sky. The shadow that his red fedora made in the sun covered his face, rendering it impossible to tell any details. But the black long sleeve shirt that he wore underneath and his blue jeans gave him a slightly suave appearance, in addition to his relatively good build. His combat boots dug into the ground as he observed the flying angeloids, focusing intently on their current location.

Should be about good enough to halt.

He nodded his head slightly, and after putting his binoculars into a brown backpack next to him, he stood up and walked out of the park, chuckling to himself.

Mr. Silver should be coming soon.
