On the last chapter, L'Arc and Ryfia meet Zoey and the other Mew Mews, then they meet Jean, a boy from a world where a tournament called the Queen's Blade is located. Then, fell out of the sky is Maron Makaron, chef in training. After that, they were attacked by wolves, a girl named Alice came to their rescue, what happens next? Let's find out shall we?
Chapter 3: The Prince and the Rich Girl: Robot Rabbit Attack!
L'Arc and his girl party and Jean were walking down the forest path. Ryfia stopped and looked up in awe. She sees raindrops even though it's sunny.
"Strange… it's sunny, but it's raining." Ryfia asked. L'Arc sighed. "The devil must be beating his wife." He replied. Ryfia looked at L'Arc in surprise. "Who? Beating his what!" Ryfia gasped.
"You don't know that expression?" Alice face faulted. 'Who the hell is this girl? She seems spaced out…' She thought. "No… but I like it. It sounds… interesting." Ryfia smiled as she spins around in awe. L'Arc, Jean and the rest of the girls looked at her in amusement. L'Arc noticed something. "Hey, watch your step!" Ryfia tripped, but L'Arc catches her in time.
L'Arc blushed while Ryfia smiled at him. "Thank you." Ryfia said gratefully. L'Arc looked away in embarrassment. "D-Don't mention it. Just be careful, okay?" L'Arc muttered as he calmly walked out of the forest, the rest of the party followed him.
"Whoa…" Zoey gasped in awe as the party are out in the field. L'Arc noticed Zoey's curious face and walked up to her. "This is your first time here?" He asked. Zoey heard him and turned to him and nodded.
"Yeah… this is our first time here… whatever here is." Zoey replied. "Oh sorry, I forgot you aren't from around here… So what city did you and the others come from? Where was it again? To…ki…o?" L'Arc tried to get the name right, but failed.
"Tokyo. One of the cities on Japan in the planet Earth…." Zoey told him. L'Arc gave out a confused look and 30 seconds later he said "Wait hate to break it to you, kid, but this ain't this Earth you're talking about. This world is called Fulheim."
"Fulheim?" Kikki came up to him in a confused look. "Yeah, Fulheim, it's our world and judging by your clothes, you must have come from this Earth world." L'Arc explained.
"So… we're in another world…" Bridget frowned. The party began walking to Topazion with L'Arc leading the way.
"But the question is… how do we end up here?" Corina wondered. "I got here by a blinding light." Jean told everyone. "I got sucked into a black portal while making some cookies." Maron added.
"What about you, Alice?" Ryfia asked Alice. "How did you get here?" Alice looked down for a minute. She's been thinking about how they got here… Does it have to do with her activating that relic? Is it her fault that she and those girls and boy are trapped in an unknown world?
"I…I got sucked into a black portal too." Alice said quickly. "Oh…" Ryfia understands now. "Just a little farther now…. Topazion is close. I can feel it." L'Arc told everyone, but he gawked in shock as something is approaching him and his party. It was approaching fast.
"Stay sharp, everyone! We got company!" L'Arc frowned as he got his sword ready. Maron and Alice got their weapons ready while Jean dropped his staff and picked up and shaken in fear, Ryfia got her staff ready.
When the objects approached the party a certain feet, they were revealed to be 20 robotic…
"Rabbits?" L'Arc blinked in confusion. True, the robots looked like rabbits, only they were armed to the teeth with weapons. "Oh! They're so cute!" Ryfia closed her eyes and smiled. Most of the party sweat dropped at Ryfia's comment.
Suddenly, one of the robotic rabbits opened fire on them, they dodged the missiles, resulting in a small explosion. Jean turned white dotted eyed at the small crater on where they were once standing.
"We're done for…" He muttered. "No we're not!" L'Arc gritted as he unsheathed Balmung and charged at the robot rabbit and cleave it in two, destroying it and making it explode.

Another robot rabbit charged at the Mew Mews, but Ryfia rams her staff on the robot rabbit's head, stopping its approach. "You may be cute, but I can't let you hurt my friends." Ryfia frowned as she rams her staff onto the side of the robot, making it fly a few feet and crash land on the ground, exploding.
Alice dodged gunshots from a robot rabbit and used her whip to grab it, lifted it up in the air and fired her guns at it, damaging it and making it explode in the air. Jean was surrounded by 5 robot rabbits.
Jean sweated nervously as he wet his pants, but Maron came to the rescue by detaching her claws and they fly at the robots, slashing them into pieces and the robots exploded. Jean opened his eyes and saw Maron waving at him with a cute smile. Jean drooled pervertly.
L'Arc was hit by a robot rabbit's ram and hit by gunshots. "Ugh!" L'Arc growled as he slashed a robot rabbit to a scrap heap. "There's so many of them!" Zoey panicked. Suddenly, a pillar of light shot down from the sky.
"What now!" L'Arc shouted. The light disappeared to reveal a 20 year old woman. She has yellow long blond hair, wore a fancy white rich girl's dress, has a red ribbon tie on it, and white shoes, but the thing about her are her gloves, they look like white grappling gloves.
The woman looked around and saw the battle at hand. "Hmph! Robots attacking humans, huh?" The woman sneered as she pointed her fingers at the robots. "You will give me a challenge I will enjoy!" The robot rabbits noticed her and begin to fire at her, with amazing speed she dodged them.
"Whoa!" Bridget covered her mouth in shock. "She's good!" Ryfia added. The woman punched a hole through the robot rabbit's chest before going after the next one. She lifted her leg up and slams it down on the robot rabbit's noggin, making oil and bits of circuits come out of it before it exploded.
"Holy…" L'Arc's eyes widen in shock as the woman then grabbed the robot rabbit's head and hurled it at the remaining robot horde, resulting in a huge explosion. The woman landed perfectly on the ground and smirked and brushes her hair in a sexy way. L'Arc and his party ran up to her.
"That was amazing!" Kikki beamed. "Yeah. I have never seen someone used that kind of martial arts before." L'Arc nodded. "Why thank you… and you are?" The woman asked them.
"L'Arc Bright Lagoon. Now tell us your name." L'Arc introduced himself. "Lili Rochefet, of the Rochefet Oil Company… Surely, you heard of me…" Lili smiled. "Oil…? What's that?" Ryfia looked at Lili in confusion.
"Well…" Lili tried to think of a way to explain it to this mysterious girl. "It's a liquid found in the ground that is important for everyday life on Earth. But careful not to spill it on animals or the sea." She explained while staring at Ryfia's eyes.
"Why?" L'Arc didn't get an answer as Lili grabbed Ryfia by the hands and smiled and said "I like you… We should hang out sometime." Lili said with her eyes full of sparkles.
"Wh-What the…?" L'Arc's left eye twitched at the sight. "There's no mistake. She really… REALLY loves girls!" Jean still has his white dotted eye look at what just happened.
2 minutes later after getting Lili away from Ryfia, they resumed walking.
L'Arc decided to strike up a conversation with Ryfia. "Are you a Coder? You know, the Empire doesn't have many Coders." L'Arc asked. "I'm a Diva, not a Coder." Ryfia corrected him.
"A Diva? You know that all the structures in the world are made up of Code, right?" L'Arc arched an eyebrow. "R-Really?" Zoey blinked. "Coders analyze and release that power. They use it on different things. That's what you are, right?" L'Arc guessed.
"I told you, I'm a Diva." Ryfia smiled. "A Diva…" L'Arc stated then sighed and said "Well, whatever…" 'Although, I've never heard of a Coder that can calm a Feldragon by singing.' He thought to himself.
"Ugh. I wish I had Sebesation to explain this to me." Lili sighed. "Put a sock in it and move it!" Alice barked. "Look! We arrived!" Corina beamed as they saw a village only a few feet from them. L'Arc and his party entered the village of Topazion.
"Well, we're here." L'Arc smiled as they stopped near the entrance. "Is this Topazion?" Ryfia asked L'Arc. "Yeah, we're at the far north end of the Empire." L'Arc told her.
"The Empire? Do you mean the Meridian Empire?" Ryfia asked again. "Sure! What else would I mean? The Meridian Empire's the only thing around here." L'Arc looked at her oddly.
"Oh… really? So… so I've finally reached the Empire!" Ryfia smiled. L'Arc arched an eyebrow and said "You're not from the Empire?"
"I'm from… Benetnasch." Ryfia explained. L'Arc's eyes widen in shock. "Benetnasch? Wha! That's in the Turemillian Republic!" "Uh, what do you mean by that?" Bridget asked him.
"The Empire and Turemilian Republic are enemies for who knows how long. I don't know why, but they hated each other." L'Arc explained. "but what's a girl from the Turemilian Republic doing here?"
"It was my… my mother's dying… dying… wi… wish…" Ryfia looked at the ground in sadness and began to feel wozzy. The rest of the girls and Jean were sad. "H-Hey! What's wrong, Ryfia?" L'Arc asked in concern.
"I feel a little dizzy…" Ryfia sighed. "You're probably just worn out. Let's get you to an inn." L'Arc told her. "Inn?" Ryfia looked at him in confusion. "What's a inn?" She asked. L'Arc's left eye twitched again while the rest of the girls giggled.
"Whaddya mean "What's an inn?" An inn's an inn! A place to sleep!" L'Arc shouted, a little annoyed. "Are there beds at an inn?" Ryfia asked. "Of course!" Bridget closed her eyes and smiled. Ryfia clasps her hands in joy and said "Oh, how wonderful! I've been sleeping on the ground for days."
Jean looked at Ryfia in shock. "Whoa! Definitely inn time, then. Are you okay? Can you walk?" L'Arc asked her. Ryfia nodded. "You really are oblivious, aren't you?" Renee asked Ryfia.
"You think?" Ryfia asked. "We can't believe you were able to live like that!" L'Arc said in amazement. "I don't know what I'm oblivious to, so it was never really an inconvenience." Ryfia stated.
"You must really have a sheltered life." Lili smirked. "Shelter…? Of course I have shelter!" Ryfia smiled. "Gah!" L'Arc growled, an anger vein on his forehead. "Alright, already! I get it!" He shouted annoyed.
The party found an inn and walked in, they saw a man with blond hair, wore royal blue and white clothes and has a fine sword strapped to his side. He noticed L'Arc and gasped. "L'Arc! I'm so glad! I knew you were alive!" The man walked up to him and his party, he was about 18 years old.
"Alf?" L'Arc gawked. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "You know him?" Alice asked L'Arc. "Lightship Fleet 2 returned from duty, so I thought I'd come and find you…" Alf told him. He eyed L'Arc's friends.
"Ahh!" L'Arc sweat dropped nervously. "You can explain later. Ryfia, Zoey, Jean, Maron, Alice and their friends need a place to stay." He told him.
"Ryfia?" Alf blushed as he eyed L'Arc's friends. "Ah… hello." Ryfia waved. "Nice to meet you, Alf." Zoey smiled meekly. "H-Hello…" Alf blushed in embarrassment.
30 minutes later, L'Arc was explaining everything to Alf in their room.
"Hmm… So that's what happened after you fell from the Lightship with that Feldragon." Alf figured it out. "…Gah! This has become a complete mess! What am I going to do with them?" L'Arc sighed.
"Don't talk like that! I imagine how hard it must've been for them to arrive from Turemillian and other worlds. Who would have thought there were other worlds other than Fulheim? If there's someway we can help them, then I think we should." Alf smiled.
L'Arc made a face. "Hmph. You're just as nice as always. In fact, you're too nice for your own good, you know that?" He asked. "I mean, what's the prince of an Empire doing, looking for one missing legionnaire?" L'Arc added with a smile.
"You don't expect me to just sit around while my friend is in peril, do you?" Alf closed his eyes and smiled. "Well, we slew that Feldragon, right? I'm not going to be treated as a deserter, am I? That would mean the remaining half of my contract money would be…" L'Arc didn't want to say it.
"Always about the money with you, eh? Don't worry. You'll be paid just as stated in your contract." Alf smiled. L'Arc sighed in relief. "Well, good! I put my life on the line back there!" He grinned.
"I'll be right back. I need to report that you've been found." Alf said. "Would you mind preparing for the journey before they wake up?" Alf asked.
"The journey?" L'Arc raised an eyebrow. "You're going to take Ryfia and those girls and boy to where they're going, right?" Alf asked him. "I'm going with you." Alf added.
"Is a prince allowed to traipses around without his bodyguards?" L'Arc asked in humor. "You'll be my bodyguard, won't you?" Alf laughed. "Ahhh…" L'Arc grinned in humor as he did a mock bow. "Yes, of course your Highness!"
"One more thing, I'd really appreciate it if you'd check around the village for any Feldragon damage." Alf asked him. "The village elders should be able to offer you some information." He added.
"Oh, right! We can't be forgetting the plight of your subjects, huh?" L'Arc smirked in humor. Alf smirked as well and added "Do I detect some sarcasm? I trust you'll have no problems doing what I've asked."
Alf left, L'Arc stared at the tied members of his party. He sighed and said "Sorry for leaving you alone. Get some rest. You need it." He left the inn in search of any damages or injuries in the village.
To be continued…
