A/N: Here's Chapter 4 of Steins;Fate. Shoutouts to Nine90 and Transmundane-Transmutation-95 for being my 2nd and 3rd reviewers :D. So this fic has gotten at least 400 views eh... That's nice. Btw, I'll try to tone down the mush lol XD. Have you guys heard the news, Steins;Gate's getting a TRUE SEQUEL! The title is "Steins;Gate: The Committee of Antimatter". It's a light novel/novel that tells what happened 6 years after Steins;Gate ended(or 5 years after the movie's story ended). As soon as I heard the news (about a week ago) I jumped out of my chair in joy. Google that stuff. Anyway, enough of that crap and onto the chapter at hand!

Notes:

" " – a term in-universe, also used when a character is talking

' ' – character is thinking

* - has an explanation for the term at the bottom of the fanfic chapter.

! !- Okabe or any character is speaking English/Engrish XD

(Example of the above note:

"I am Mad Scientist" – Japanese, what he's saying if we had audio is "Boku ga Mad Kagaku-sha"

"!I am Mad Scientist!" – English, or in Okabe's case, Engrish.)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Steins;Gate and its characters, If I did, Steins;Gate's new Novel would be animated within a year after its release.

STEINS;FATE

Chapter 4 – UNITED STATES! Chaos, and Invade. Engurishu desu.

Previously on Steins;Fate

If there were people walking around near the building of Yuugo Tennouji's CRT shop, they would have witnessed an incredibly romantic view of two lovers kissing each other on the rooftop, with the beautifully painted sky of sunrise as their background.

3 months and 3 weeks later... – Normal POV

The 4 months that Kurisu was given for lectures and to do stuff within Japan in general was nearly gone. Only 1 week remained. Okabe and Kurisu seemed impassive to their near separation as neither were showing hints of sadness, on the inside though they were both filled with one thought: 'I wish we could be with each other a bit longer...' They were to be far from each other again.

Well that would've been the case if it weren't for what was about to happen. Our favourite couple would have to thank Daru in a few moments because...

Daru POV

"Hey guys, check this out!" I tell everybody while gesturing towards the monitor of my PC. The screen was displaying the words "WANT TO PROVE THAT YOU HAVE NIMBLE HANDS LIKE BUTTER? WANNA IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS OR SPECIAL SOMEONE WITH SKILLS? COME JOIN US HERE AT THE PUZZLE CONVENTION!" in capital letters. As soon as Mayuri, Okarin, and Makise-shi were gathered behind me and they saw those big words flashed on the screen, I began reading the rest of the content on the webpage.

"It will be held in 12 days (A week and 5 days from present) at the Staples Center of Los Angeles. Registration is on venue. The fee is only 50 USD. The event will last for 3 days, all of the days having a schedule of 1PM to 6PM."

"Daru-kun, it seems that Okarin can enter that contest! Mayushii is certain that Okarin can win... Mayushii believes in Okarin's puzzle genius!" exclaims Mayuri in glee.

"This is interesting, it's conveniently held in LA you know... not that I'm expecting Okabe to go to LA for me and everything" Makise-shi adds while staring at Okabe with eyes that screamed 'PLEASE BE INTERESTED! SO THAT WE CAN BE TOGETHER IN THE US!', though it was only because Okarin and Makise-shi being a couple was already known to all of us that I was able to interpret Makise-shi's stare. I then sensed that the air was filled with some weird tension or as the Feng Shui experts would say, "The negative energy here is too high".

Okabe POV

"You can't be serious right Christina?" I say to Kurisu.

"But it's in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is in America... AMERICA! And there's no –tina!" was the response I got.

"I think you should join this Okarin, instead of wasting away here in the lab you should use your talent and not let it deteriorate. It's bad enough that you suck at RaiNet..." was Daru's uncanny addition.

"RaiNet's too complicated anyway, The Organization has riddled it with subliminal messages in its packaging." was my comeback.

"Still a chuunibyou, Fail." Daru and Kurisu stated in sync.

"HEY!" I scream in frustration. Well it's true that I would be able to spend more time with Kurisu in LA, but it's a puzzle contest for crying out loud! Puzzles! 'I dunno...' was the only thing in my head.

"Mayushii would love to hear Okarin speaking English again." Mayuri was once again adding fuel to the raging flame that was this predicament.

I was then reminded of that incident when we were at the airport the last time myself and company arrived at LA.

Flashback to a year ago at the Los Angeles Airport...

"!What's the purpose!"

'I suppose I have no choice to reveal it' I think to myself while clearing my throat loudly.

"!Ahh... I am, Mad Scientist. United States. Chaos!... and... Invade!"

"!Mad Scientist!" was another question of the Airport guard. Both of us then began to laugh, me of course with my signature "Kyouma laugh", which was then brought to a halt when I was manhandled towards the immigration office of the airport to be questioned about my "Questionable intent"... damned rats of the organization.

Flashback end, back to present with Okabe POV

"Mayuri, we all know how that turned out right? I don't want another run-in with those Organization people."

"Maybe if you stopped acting like a lunatic, you wouldn't have to deal with that Okabe." tease Kurisu with a wink clearly directed at me. After what seemed like a thousand time-leaps worth of time, I finally caved. It was decided then that the four of us were going to LA and we would be sharing flights with Kurisu who was also bound for the US even if I wasn't coerced into joining that puzzle crap. We then tried to bring along Ruka, Faris and Moeka but all of them had prior engagements. Lukako was going with his father to some spiritual-related meeting between shrine guardians. Faris was busy trying to promote MayQueen Nyan Nyan to places outside Akihabara. Moeka went to some trip out of town along with Mr Braun and his woodland creature Nae.

It was fortunate that the lab had saved enough funds for my ticket along with Mayuri's and Daru's, and that we also had pocket money from said funds and of course, the money for my registration fee for that accursed puzzle activity.

"It's a good thing Mayushii stopped the two of you from buying that new game!" Daru and I were scolded for having too many unnecessary expenses which admittedly was true.

"I assure you, there is nothing that I, Hououin Kyouma, would purchase that won't be of use to the lab! I have too much forethought do things that would hinder me and my lab partner Christina's goal ... OF PLUNGING THIS WORLD INTO UTTER CHAOS... FuuuuuuuAHAHA-" my magnificent speech interrupted by a quick kiss by Kurisu. That was effective in shutting me up, which I discerned was the reason Kurisu kissed me at that particular moment because what was in front of me was a Kurisu and Daru that were giving a high-five to each other.

"Okabe, try to tone down the crazy when we're in LA will you?" was what Kurisu had said.

We then started to take account of the things that we would need for the trip and the next few days were spent in preparation of said trip.

A week later, 5 days before the Puzzle Convention at the LA airport, Normal POV

One of the things that Okabe had dreaded to happen was happening right now. The only difference with a similar event in the past is that Ruka is not present, Kurisu is, and that the airport guard was female instead of male.

Okabe POV

"!What's your purpose for coming here mister?!"

'Hmm, she seems more polite than that other guard from before, maybe this time it will work' was what I though. Big mistake though, since what happened next was...

"!I am Mad Scientist. Join puzzle place. INTERFERE! CLAIM ALL MONETARY ASSETS AFTER HUMILIATING ALL OF THE OTHERS!" was my "excellent response".

Daru and Mayuri, both having witnessed this kind of display by me before, just shook their heads in disapproval. Kurisu seemed to think 'You Idiot!'

"!This is Marie here, a suspicious man has breached security. Request backup immediately!" was what we heard the lady say. I was soon dragged away to the immigration office yet again! In this same damned airport! That didn't stop me though from screaming things like "Damn it all! You Organization goons!" and "You shall not contain the man to whom you will all kneel and bow down! You heard me, YOU WILL ALL BOW DOWN!", they still dragged me along with what I could feel was even more force than before after my Japanese rant.

2 hours later...Kurisu POV

"Is Okarin coming out yet? Mayushii wants to sleep from the jetlag"

"Well thanks to that dummy's airheaded tendencies, who knows Mayuri" I answer the obviously tired girl beside me. Hashida-san didn't mind that we were stuck here at the waiting area as he was playing some Galge he managed to install on his smartphone. I on the other hand, was starting to get impatient and annoyed. As the minutes passed by though, my annoyance was slowly replaced by a feeling of anxiousness over Okabe's predicament. According to Mayuri, the last time that this happened; it only took Okabe 20 minutes before that time we met again at the exit of the airport. Presently though, it had been over 2 hours and still no Kyouma in sight. My anxiety was quelled when I heard a familiar voice not that far from us...

"That damned Organization, sabotaging my trip yet again! This is certainly Steins Gate's way of showing me what I shall purge from this world when I ascend to the top... FuuuuAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Okabe!" I run towards him leaving behind the group and almost tackling him with my hug, a gesture that was returned by Okabe who place his arms around me and pulled me close into a hug. We soon broke the hug off and I playfully punched him on his right shoulder.

"You dummy! I was worried you know!" I snapped at Okabe in mock anger. He just flashed me a sheepish green while rubbing the area I punched him. Soon Hashida-san and Mayuri had caught up with the two of us. We then departed from the airport and headed off to my hotel as it was agreed on by the four of us that the hotel room besides my own was to be booked and occupied by Hashida-san and Okabe while Mayuri would be sharing my room.

Since my car had been left at the parking space at the hotel, we had no choice but to call a taxi for our transportation. Hashida-san sat besides the driver in the front passenger seat while Okabe, Mayuri and I were at the back. I was in the middle, Okabe was on my right, and Mayuri was seated left of me.

Okabe POV

"Then those so-called staff gave me a lecture on proper etiquette and the dangers of giving false information to authorities like I was some kind of child!" I exclaim as I was sharing to Mayuri and Kurisu my experiences in that dreaded hell-hole also known as the "Immigration Office". Those damned people were too pushy for their own good. That bitchy guard Marie was no better, exaggerating things in a way that made me look like some deranged con artist hunted by Interpol.

The rest of the trip had been uneventful for us, and we soon arrived at the hotel without fail. At the front desk, I was about to check in for the group but Kurisu simply put her hand in front of me and went ahead to check us in. She must have been annoyed with my English or something or simply didn't want any more hold-ups like what happened at the airport. As we headed to our rooms, Mayuri and Kurisu sharing one while my and Daru in the other, we all did the first thing logical to do after a crazed jet-lag induced arrival, sleep like no tomorrow. As my vision faded to black, one last though crept into my mind, '5 days before that damned Puzzle event.'

-Chapter 4 END-
