We are back in Life of a GPU! Last time… Andrew met another monster, a slime this time and things happened. Yeah, things. Let's continue from where we left off.

As Andrew stares wide eyed at Ms. Smith, unsure of what to do, "Err… there's a logical explanation for this and I'll be glad to tell you. Just… err…"

Ice says, "Good luck getting out of this one."

Miia quickly wraps around Ice shouting, "I got Ice hostage! If you want him back, you will have to get Suu legalized, got it?!"

Ice tells Miia, "This isn't going to work, for one… slimes are difficult to legalize because they are a new species and two, I can conjure ice and the fact that you're cold blooded…"

Andrew raises his hands in defense, "Now, hold on… let's just hear how Ms. Smith legalized Glue, I mean, he is a slime as well."

Ms. Smith laughs, "Oh! Well, I just used dog adoption papers, and made him a beagle so…"

Andrew shouts at her, "Man! You're lazy! That's not going to help Suu, is it?!"

Ms. Smith could tell from Andrew's mood, "You really care about Suu, don't you?"

Andrew nods, "Yeah, I do. I think of her part of the family along with the other monsters and the goddesses."

Ms. Smith thinks about it, "I know this is beyond my control but we do know someone who can help."

Andrew asks, "Who?"

Ms. Smith moves her eyes towards Ice, "You know…"

Miia then constricts Ice tighter, "Legalize Suu or else!"

Ice groans, "Ow, my fragile penguin body!"

Andrew laughs a bit from what Miia is doing and says, "Let him go, I'm sure he'll do it."

Ice shouts, "What?! Legalizing a monster isn't as easy as just filling out some papers. I would have to go to several higher ups and get it approved! Too much work if you ask me."

Ms. Smith nods, "Exactly."

Ice exhales, "So no, I can't help you. Erk!" He gets tighten some more.

Miia shouts, "Darling, he is not cooperating!"

Andrew nods, "I can see that… Ms. Smith, do you mind if we 'convince' Ice to legalize Suu?"

Ms. Smith nods back, "Of course, if…"

Andrew goes over to the kitchen and brings her some coffee, "Figured as much, I'm glad I have coffee brewing just in case." He pours some in a mug and gives it to Ms. Smith.

Ms. Smith drinks it and sighs, "Ah, the sweet elixir of life! Oh, yeah, do whatever you want with Ice."

Ice shouts, "What?! We're teammates! Why are you bailing on me?"

Ms. Smith replies, "I haven't seen a slime, no way! You have so… good luck!" She leaves.

As Ice sees Ms. Smith leaves, he goes over to the girls saying, "So, can you let me go so we can talk this over?"

Miia replies, "That depends, will you legalize Suu?"

Ice shakes his head, "Not a chance, snake lady!"

Miia replies with a smile on her face, "Then get used to being coiled for a while."

Neptune goes over as well, "Hey, we'll help convince Ice! I think we can call a friend for that one!"

Ice asks, "What friend are you referring to?" He then counts the goddesses, "One, two, three… oh no… don't call her."

Neptune gives Ice a mischievous smile, "And I'll tell her things that'll sure get her pissed off."

Ice furrows his eyes, "You wouldn't dare!"

Neptune grins, "I would dare! Andy, may I see Xelly for a moment?"

Andrew takes off Xelor and tosses it to Neptune, "Go for it."

Ice scream, "No!" He makes himself slippery as ice and rushes over to Neptune, snatches Xelor away in a brief second, "You're not calling her! Stay back!"

All the girls inch towards Ice, even Noire and Vert who actually find this fun, Centorea draws her blade and aims it at Ice, "Legalize our friend, Suu or you shall taste my blade!"

Ice laughs, "I know that's a replica, but this…" He pulls out his katana, "Is a real sword!"

Centorea stands her ground, "You are bluffing!"

Ice shakes his head, "I am not. I never bluff. Now, you middle ages fanatic, drop your weapon."

And in an instant, Suu grabs Ice, trapping him in her slime, "Should have seen this coming." Ice states as he drops everything he had in his flippers even Xelor.

Miia cheers, "Woo! Go, Suu! Now… are you going to surrender?"

Ice shakes his head, "Never."

Suu begins playing with Ice, sucking out his humidity from his feathers for her own to use. Ice shouts, "Stop that right now, Suu! I mean it!"

Andrew looks at Suu doing this, "Just keep it PG-13, ok?"

Ice looks around, thinking of what to use to escape, he then says, "Alright, I don't have to resort to this but…" He pulls out a communicator of some kind and presses the button, "Scratch, come in here for the assist!"

Scratch flies in the house with a battle cry, "Meeeeoooow! Scratch here for the assist! What's up?!" He looks around and sees everyone, "What's going on?"

Neptune goes over to Scratch, "Hey kitty, kitty… you will help us, right?"

Scratch asks, "With what?"

Miia exclaims, "With convincing your friend to legalize Suu, of course!"

Scratch's eyes widen, "What?! I can't betray my friend like that. And besides… I barely know any of you besides the goddesses and Andy."

Miia goes up to Scratch, "Well, I'm Miia, the lamia who won't constrict you if you help us."

Scratch sweatdrops, "I'm not sure if I'll like that…"

Noire says making her attempt, "Maybe we can convince you another way, like… what do you want?"

Scratch shrugs, "I don't know, I am kind of hungry."

Andrew raises his arm, "I can-" He gets cut off by Miia.

Miia exclaims happily, "I can make something for you if you get your friend to help us."

Scratch shrugs nonchalantly, "Alright."

Everybody's eyes widen except for Suu, Ice and Scratch because they don't know, Scratch asks, "What's with the look?"

Noire shakes her head, "N-never mind that, enjoy your food."

Miia goes into the kitchen to make something, and Noire whisper towards Scratch, bringing him towards Ice so he can hear, too, "Miia is really bad at cooking, and I mean bad, it's like toxic."

Ice's eyes widen, "I'm just trying to give you guys a bad time because I'm bored at the office, if you don't make me eat that, I'll legalize Suu for you."

Neptune cheers, "Yay! We won!"

Scratch shrugs, "I'll eat it, I mean… Miia's kind of pretty, I don't think her cooking is bad like you say it is."

Andrew frowns, "Oh, I wish I could say the same thing but it's true, I've tried it and I barely survived."

As they are talking, toxic explosions are coming out of the kitchen, "It seems that the beckoning has arrived!" Centorea exclaims.

Scratch sweatdrops, "I-I'm sure that's something else!"

Miia shouts, "I kind of burned the food but it should still come out alright!"

The crew looks at Scratch for his input, "She said it's going to be alright. I'm not picky and I'm very optimistic!" Scratch replies.

Ice replies, "Please shield me from the odor, Suu." As he sinks himself into the depths of Suu's body.

Noire replies, "Look, we got Ice to legalize Suu, now. You don't have to do this."

Scratch shakes his head, "I want to do this, I really want to try her food. You guys just gotta make the most out of anything!" He hops in the air with joy.

Neptune groans, "Even I'm not that optimistic… the last time made me feel like my game was over."

Noire nods, "Ditto for me, Neptune."

Vert, who hasn't said anything replies, "I will recluse myself into my bedroom until this is all over, I shall be playing a glorious MMO." She walks away from this mess in her own way.

Andrew sighs, "I wish I could say 'right behind you' but I'm the host here, so…" He inhales through his teeth, "Gotta endure it for Scratch."

Centorea asks calling to Vert, "May I join you?"

Andrew shakes his head, "No, you have to stay here and support Scratch with his choice."

Centorea frowns and bows at Andrew, "Yes, milord!"

Miia exclaims, "It's done~!"

Scratch shouts happily, "Yay! I can't wait! I'll prove these pessimistic dudes what's what!" He goes into the kitchen.

Centorea sighs, "I pray for his soul…"

Ice clears his throat, "Nine souls."

The others enter the kitchen to watch Scratch from afar as he sits at the table, "I absolutely can't wait, Miia!"

Miia brings out her 'food', "I'm glad, Scratch! I'm glad you're so eager, I'm not sure why the others aren't, even darling…"

Scratch laughs, "Who knows! And, would this 'darling' be Andy? Just asking."

Miia nods, "Yes, if you didn't know, ever since he's been so nice to me, I'm just crazy for him. He's actually dating all of us but I do hope he picks me to marry." She begins blushing, daydreaming about Andrew again.

Scratch can see this and exclaims with a 'thumbs up' he has paws and he's a cat, "Well, good luck to you, Miia! I'll be cheering you on! You two look like a cute couple!"

Andrew sweatdrops, "Err, what is he doing, Ice?"

Ice replies with the best he could, "He's a sucker for love, and since Miia is as well from the looks of it, they seem to have good chemistry."

Andrew nods, "Uh huh, good thing he has his eyes for Compa, huh?"

Miia smiles, "That's nice of you to say! You should help me with my schemes to get darling's heart!" She says to Scratch.

Scratch asks, "The food?" He reaches for it.

Miia nods, "Oh right, sorry." She places it down.

Scratch's eyes shrink from the looks of it, "Err…"

Miia asks, "What's wrong, Scratch?"

Scratch laughs, "Nothing! It looks scrumptious!" He tries some and suddenly stops as the food enters his mouth.

Andrew sighs, "He's dead."

Miia looks worried from Scratch's face, "What's wrong, Scratch? Did you like it?"

Scratch's voice quivers, "Like it…? I… love it! It's even better than I have hoped!" He eats more of it, "Yeah!" he cheers happily.

Miia is shocked from Scratch's reaction to her food, "You… you put more emotion to it than darling ever did."

Andrew sweatdrops, "Oh no…"

Noire looks at Scratch saying, "He likes it? Does what he said to Compa even mattered?" (Read chapter 21 of Birth of A GPU)

Ice replies, "I have no idea." Shrugging his shoulders.

MIia suddenly tears up which Scratch points out, "What's the matter?"

Miia slumps down saying, "Nothing, it's just that you seem to enjoy my food more than darling ever did. He actually told me to study more before going into cooking again."

Andrew rushes over to Miia shouting, "No, no, no! I didn't want it to be sound like that."

Miia says to Andrew, "You hate my cooking, admit it." Staring right at his face.

Andrew sweatdrops, "No… of course not. I like it…" He moves his eyes to the side.

Miia's voice quivers as she tears up, "You're lying…"

Andrew shakes his head, "No! Please don't cry!" He taps his fingers together, "Well, you do need more practice but it's ok, really. I can teach you."

Miia asks, "Teach me? How?"

Andrew scratches his head, "Well…" He thinks about it for a moment and then says, "Ok, I don't want you to have your hopes crushed if you don't impress me with your cooking. If you are really determined, I'll be with you every step of the way to teach you cooking. Even… erm…" He scratches his head, "Even guiding your hands while you cook."

Miia imagines this and gets overly excited, "Oh, I would love that darling!" She glomps Andrew.

Andrew chuckles lightly, "Ok, Miia. M-Miia?" He feels Miia constrict him again, "Miia!" He and Miia goes down.

Scratch looks down and sees them, "Amazing stuff, Miia." He gives her a thumbs up.

Neptune sighs saying, "It looks like Scratch supports Andy X Miia. Well… can't please everyone."

Scratch mentions, "I was talking about her food."

Ice replies, "Well, now that incident is over, can you let me go, Suu?"

Suu just gives Ice a questioning look, not understanding his question, Ice sighs, "Please let me go, Suu." Trying to phase it simpler for Suu.

Suu grabs Ice and then just hugs him like a plush toy, "I didn't say to do that!" Ice squawks.

Papi smiles seeing that, "It looks like Suu is thanking you for helping her."

Suu then tosses Ice up in the air catching him with her tentacle appendages, wriggling them around Ice, "Ok, this is an invasion of my personal space."

Vert goes over whispering to them, "I've called Blanc over just in case this penguin changes his mind. But, from the looks of the call, she seems pretty mad."

Ice's eyes widen and he shouts, "What have you done?! You've doomed us all!"

Miia looks puzzled from the way the others are reacting, "What's wrong? Am I missing something here?"

Andrew replies, "You see, Blanc is not one to mess with when she's angry, she goes into this fiery rage mode and will destroy anything in her path."

Miia sweatdrop, "You… you are joking, right darling?"

Andrew shakes his head, "I am not joking."

A door slamming noise can be heard which means one thing, "Blanny's here?! Quick! Everybody hide!" Neptune shouts as she runs around panicking.

Andrew sweatdrops, "Err…"

Blanc looks over in the kitchen and her eyes turn sadistic saying, "What is this I'm seeing?" She looks at Andrew and Miia on the floor, on top of each other.

Miia suddenly becomes frightened and gets up automatically, "I'm not doing anything to darling!"

Blanc shouts angrily, "Darling?!"

Miia yelps in fear, "Err, I mean… oh no! I forgotten your real name, darling…"

Andrew sighs, "Of course…" He gets up with his arms up, "Now, Blanc… there's nothing wrong going on here."

Blanc growls, "Don't give me that bullshit, Andy! There's a lot of things wrong around here, like…" She looks at Suu and Ice.

Suu looks confused by that look but Ice isn't, "Suu, can you release me? Blanc isn't happy and when she isn't happy, everybody is going to die around her."

Suu doesn't get the commotion and just stands there puzzled. Blanc stands near her and says to Ice, "What the hell is this, Ice?"

Ice clears his throat, "Allow me to explain everything, just please no fury."

Blanc nods, "I'm waiting…"

And so Ice tells Blanc everything that he knows, with Andrew's condition with the monster girls and his reasoning for being here as well, all of it. "And that's the gist if it." Ice finishes.

Blanc nods, "I see…" She then shouts, "But that doesn't excuse you all for just leaving Gamindustri without telling me!"

Noire looks at Blanc, asking, "That's why you're mad? Well, we would have come back sooner if it wasn't for Andrew's condition."

Blanc sighs and asks them, "Do you know how long you all were gone?"

Neptune replies, "A couple weeks?"

Blanc shakes her head and tells them, "Try a couple months."

Noire gasps, "I left Uni my nation for a couple months?! It's probably a disaster now!"

Blanc calmly says, "You all need to go back soon or…"

Neptune interrupts Blanc, "Why do we have to? It's not like we'll die, right?"

Blanc just stares at Neptune not saying anything as Neptune could have hit the nail on the head. Andrew speaks up, "You all will die if you don't return?!"

Blanc explains, "We don't have share energy here and yours isn't sufficient to keep us alive, we may only have a few more days and by we, I mean these three."

Noire gasps, "How could I have missed that important bit of detail?! It's all your fault, Andy!"

Andrew looks at Noire shocked by what she said, "My fault?! Why is that?"

Noire replies, "You being with these monster girls have made me forget that we need shares to survive, we aren't like you all. Shares is what powers us goddesses and is also our life support."

Andrew asks, "Can't you get more shares on Earth?"

Blanc thinks about it, "It could happen but I'm not sure if your town has enough for all four of us."

Andrew tightens a fist, "Then, I know what to do. I must get everyone to know you exist and hope that they will have faith in you all."

Vert replies, "I like the determination, Andy, but we do not give any of your town's people a reason to believe in us. It's not like we save their lives."

Noire nods, "I agree with Vert and since we can't transform anymore, we can't even convince them that we are goddesses."

Blanc sighs saying to Andrew, "I'm sorry, Andy, but… we have to return to Gamindustri. I'm only here to return them."

Miia says to them, "Oh no…" But really on the inside she's celebrating since the four are about to leave.

Noire looks at Miia knowing her game, "Nice try, we know that you are absolutely thrilled to have us leave so that you have less competition."

Miia sweatdrops, "W-what?! No, I don't!"

Neptune refuses, "I don't want to leave! I would rather disappear than leave Andy again!"

Noire shouts at Neptune, "Think for a moment, Neptune! Would Nepgear really want her only sister to disappear?"

Andrew tells Neptune, "Leave, Neptune. I'll be just fine here until I eventually decide to go back to Gamindustri."

Miia asks, "You're actually going to go with them eventually, darling?"

Andrew turns around replying, "Well, if Ms. Smith allows it, I'm bringing you all with me."

The three of them gasp as Andrew says that, of course Suu has no idea what's going on and Andrew pats her head, "I'm sure the law can't reach past dimensions so you won't have nothing to worry about, Suu."

Miia asks, "Wait… the law doesn't exist there?"

Andrew shrugs, "I know I've said this before but, no. The goddesses make what's allowed and what doesn't. And the Extraspecies cultural exchange doesn't exist there."

Noire says to Andrew, "Don't give her ideas, Andy. We'll definitely make a law there as well."

Vert whispers to Noire, "Andy lives in the outskirts of Gamindustri, we can't do anything there."

Noire whispers back, "They don't need to know that…" She says out loud, "We will!"

Ice asks Suu, "Can you let me go? I need to say something to the goddesses."

Suu gives Ice a puzzling look again, Ice motions his flippers, he pretends to hug and then he spreads out his wings, trying to give Suu the idea, "Let. Me. Go." He says as he motions his flippers.

Suu gives Ice a smile and drops Ice and he brushes himself off, "Thank you, Suu." He walks towards the goddesses, "I may have some way to get you four enough share energy to stay here."

The four gasps, "Really?"

Noire mentions, "I wonder why you aren't a GPU."

Andrew frowns, "Ice is totally stealing my thunder."

Scratch mentions, breaking the fourth wall, "No, we've been around longer than you all even existed. In several other stories and even original ones. Trust me, Ice has experience."

Ice clears his throat explaining, "I didn't return here empty handed nor alone, I plan ahead." He pulls out a communicator, "Squadron A fall in!"

Marching can be heard and Andrew opens the door and sweatdrops, "That's a lot of penguins."

They all enter the house and Ice says, "These are the troops that actually quit the agency just as I, only to follow me. They actually respect me more than my old boss."

The penguins salute the goddesses, Ice mentions, "They also are the ones with the most moral as shown here." He takes a bag with something inside and hands it to Noire, "Open it."

Noire opens the bag and gasps, "A… sharicite?"

Ice nods saying, "It won't be enough to do much here but I can guarantee that you all will be just fine."

Noire asks, "So you said this is squadron A, where are the other squadrons?"

Ice shakes his head, "No, it's just this squadron. I only made these guys A just in case we get more penguins."

Vert asks, "So are we all supposed to share this sharicite?"

Ice shrugs saying, "That's why it's called a sharicite, isn't it?" Trying to make a joke.

Noire chuckles lightly, "Funny…" Sarcastically, of course.

Ice then motions the penguins, "Alright! Fall out!"

The troops salute and they march off. Andrew closes the door behind them and asks, "So, do they work in the same organization as Ms. Smith does?"

Ice nods, "That's correct. They've noticed that I have an amazing work ethic that they gave me my own crew, just like Ms. Smith so I am basically the same rank as her now, just have my own crew and do what she does but not as lazy. And no… don't like coffee."

Andrew nods, "Right…"

Neptune cheers saying, "Yay! We don't have to leave after all! Go, us!"

A lone penguin returns inside and gives Ice some papers, "Sir, the slime host papers you requested have been delivered, sir!" He salutes.

Ice salutes back, "Very good, agent!"

Andrew's eyes widen, "You actually got Suu legalized?"

Ice nods, "I was in the process of doing that a while ago. I got my buddy Scratch to observe me from a distance and report it to my crew."

Scratch asks, "So, I ate her food for nothing?"

Ice raises a flipper in the air, "That's right. You ate the lamia's dish, let me see." He walks towards Scratch and observes his tongue, "Yep, your taste buds aren't like ours. You only can taste sweet and that means you don't have the other senses of taste so that's why you couldn't tell if Miia's dish is toxic."

Scratch replies smiling, "I do have a sweet tooth!"

Andrew and the others fall anime styled and Noire asks, "So, what about his body? Will he get poisoned or something?"

Ice shakes his head, "Scratch's body behaves like a cartoon character, therefore his body doesn't react in the same way all of us does."

Noire shouts, "Is he supposed to turn purple?!"

Ice shakes his head, "Nope, why do you…" he looks over and nods, "How odd."

Scratch begins inflating like a balloon and begins floating away, "Look out! An unidentified flying cat is about to take off!" He floats out the window.

Ice gives Andrew the stack of papers that the penguin agent gave him, "These are for Suu. Time to do your part."

Andrew groans, "These are bigger than the other girls'…"

Ice nods, "Of course, since Suu is a new species, you would have to survey her actions and write them down for us to report. That's how we know she'll be a safe monster to host."

Andrew nods, "Oh, right."

Papi cheers, "Yay! Suu is safe now! Thank you so much, Mr. Penguin!"

Ice salutes Papi, "Pleasure to assist you all!" He goes over the window and jumps out of it, catching Scratch's foot as he floats away.

Andrew replies, "I really need to close that window…"

Miia then asks, "So, I'm guessing you all are staying?"

Neptune exclaims, "You know it! Are you staying, Blanny?"

Blanc nods, "I will. Just so that I can make sure Andy doesn't f*ck anything up."

Andrew frowns from the stinging comment, "That's harsh, Blanc."

Blanc replies, "Humans are fallible so having a GPU that is a human means that we have to watch over you."

Andrew gives Blanc a questioning look, "Are you serious, Blanc? After all we went through, you are just going to insult my integrity?"

Blanc nods, "Yes."

Andrew falls over from Blanc's blunt response, feeling very defeated from it, "I'm never going to win you over, am I?"

With that another day comes to an end, with Suu being a legal monster, Andrew can't ask for anything more, except for more monster girls to harem with. With Blanc being here to watch over Andrew to make sure that his virginity is safe, it'll only get stranger from here. "Hey! I'm not a virgin!" Andrew shouts to the narrator.

The next day has arrived but, let's move to another location as some crazy stuff is about to happen there, let's see what it is. In a store, I guess. There's a group of individuals coming in there, the clerk greets them, "Hello, what can I do for you to day?" He looks up at the group and sweatdrops as they point a gun to his forehead.

These group of individuals are pig like, so possibly orcs, I guess. This is what they look like? Lame… The leader orc states at the clerk, "This store is under hostage until they meet up to our demands!"

The clerk sweatdrops, "O-okay…" Being scared out of his mind, really good thing that our protagonist doesn't work there, right?

Of course, cops arrive to the scene, checking it out, the orcs pick them up right away, "Cops? Is that the best you can do? You already know about the law, right? We're untouchable, baby!" He snorts, "Now… let me tell you about our demands."

One of the underlings of the leader snorts, "Yeah, that's right, demands."

Back at the police station, they discuss the situation, "So, what did they say that their demands are?" The chief asks.

Another cop reads off the list, "Hentai releases of certain manga, orcs on magical girl, orcs on princesses, orc on female knights… the list goes on like that." The cop frowns as he finishes the list.

The chief sighs, "Just what we need, a bunch of weeaboo monsters…"

The cop mentions, "If they are from Japan, how are they weeaboos?"

The chief shouts, "I don't need technicalities here! We got a situation on our hands!"

"Maybe I can help…" A female voice rings.

The chief turns around and sees who it is, "Ms. Smith?! Well, thanks a lot! Thanks to your wonderful idea to legalize monsters here, there are a group of them trying to hold a shop hostage for stupid reasons!" He shouts at Ms. Smith.

Ms. Smith gets some coffee and says, "I can see that, luckily I already got my crew ready to take care of this problem." She drinks the coffee, "Ugh! This coffee's awful!" She grimaces.

The chief roars at her, "Never mind about the damn coffee! This whole mess wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you!"

Ms. Smith looks at the chief and says, "I know that's you're upset with me and I understand why, but every idea has some risks involved, including great ones. This is just one of those times, you just have to trust us."

The chief isn't sure about this but grumbles, "Fine… at least you seem like you can do more than that penguin could."

Ms. Smith chuckles hearing that, "I'm glad you think so." She then drinks more of the coffee, "Ugh, sorry, but this stuff is really terrible!" She pours it down the sink.

Back at the scene of the crime, the orcs walk around the store looking for any other people to take them as a hostage, "Come out, guys… snort! I may only shoot you a couple times, or several times. How many times is several times?" The boss orc asks the clerk as he is under hostage.

The clerk doesn't seem like talking as he is scared out of his mind. The boss orc snorts at him, "You're no help, anyway…" He goes on trying to find anyone else in the book store.

As all this happened, there outside and on a nearby building rooftop stands a guy around Andrew's age (at this point). He looks to be out of place in this world, and he is. "So, where am I now? It looks like there was a malfunction with my bracelet and now I'm stuck in this world." He looks over towards the bookstore and sees the orcs threatening the cops and the hostages, "Oh, now I know." He heads over there, stealthily, of course. "I suppose I could give them a hand."

He checks his pockets to see what he has, "Just a can of axe body spray, if only I had some Brisk Iced Tea on me." He continues to his way until he sensed something, "Hold on…" He then shot a rope dart towards the top of the roof and ziplines all the way to the rooftop. He managed to avoid the cops' and possibly the orcs' detection.

When he lands on top of the bookstore's rooftop, he walks towards a vent and says, "And now all I have to do is wait." He crouches down low to avoid being seen from the cops or anyone else, he feels his gun on him to make sure he has it. He waits for his time to shine.

Down inside the bookstore, one of the orcs find their next victim, "Look, who I found, boss!" One of the lackeys snorted.

It seems to be a Japanese school girl for some reason, the other lackey commented, "She just looks like the witch, Mako! Oh… she makes me wanna squeal!"

The boss shouts, "How did you miss this little cutie the first time?!" He glares at his lackey.

The lackey replies, "I honestly looked everywhere, I did!"

The boss then says, "Well, what should we do with her?" He licks his tongue at the girl's face.

The girl tries getting away from them, being terrified from them.

The boss orc says, "Don't worry, we'll be gentle, after all… my pork sausage is your pork sausage, heh heh…"

One of the orc lackeys say, "No fair, boss! Why can't we have a turn?

The boss orc replies, "Fine… make a line, we'll take turns!"

Back at the top, the guy from before gets impatient, "I'm going in now." He opens the vent door and jumps inside the ventilation system.

As he crawls through, he sees more clearly what's going on, he even sees a stealthy girl snooping around in a yellow vest, "Must be a cop." The guy thinks to himself.

When it he makes it another exit of the ventilation system, he comes out of it and prepares himself, he first takes off his plaid scarf he has on and wraps around his head, leaving one of his eye exposed. He sets his gun to silence and continues on, scoping the scene more clearly.

When the guy makes it to a side of the room, he remembers, "If I recall correctly, this guys have really sensitive sense of smell, which means…" He pulls out the can of axe spray he has and rolls it to the other side of the room, "Better make this shot count." He then shoots a bullet at the can letting it leak everywhere.

One of the orcs exclaim, "What the hell is going on?!" They are all confused by the smell of the axe spray as it messes up their sense of smell.

Another one exclaims, "Ah! That's potent!"

That leaves the guy a chance to strike one of them and he did, he kicks one of the orc lackey right in the back of the head and knocks him out. "What the hell?!" Another one attempts to shoot the guy.

The guy holds out his left hand and uses some kind of magnetic force to stop the bullets and then crushes them in his hands, "My turn." He pulls out his gun and shoots a few bullets into the orc's chest.

The orc blew up into a mess of pixels and the particles fall onto the ground. "What in the world was that?" The clerk asks.

The guy just climbs up the bookshelf and rests there for his next strike, taking a strategic act to this.

The police women from before looked at what the guy did, the knocked out orc and the mess of pixels lying about on the floor.

The leader orc growls as he sees two of his orc lackeys get defeated, he then sees the police girl, "It was you, wasn't it!" He pulls out his gun and shoots her a lot of times in the chest.

She falls to the ground and clutches to her chest, "Nng… damn…"

The leader orc walks over to her and sticks his gun right between her breasts, "You're pretty cute but I'm not a fan of snooping cops." He then shoots even more bullets at her.

The guy goes into a fit of rage and then uses his inner powers to teleport right behind the leader orc in a bunch of pixels.

The leader turns around and says confusingly, "What the-"

Before he got a chance to say anything, the guy summons his sword, activates it and drives it into his chest.

The two exchange glances for a bit until the leader orc fall into a mess of pixels just like the other one has. The guy pants as he still feels a little anger inside him still.

Way out of where the bookstore was, a kilometer or so, a sniper is on a rooftop, she has only one eye, she exclaims, "Oh! I better do something!" She then shoots one of the orcs and took him down, "There… I just wished that they didn't have to put me way out here, with this wind blowing at my face and drying my eye out." She begins tearing up, "Is this one of their cruel pranks?"

Ignoring that, we cut back to the bookstore, the guy senses something else and climbs on top of the book shelf and stays there, when the wall collapses next to a group of orcs that were left and a giant person in armor shows up.

The orcs groan, "Gah… what's with the big guy in armor?"

The person in armor takes off the helmet and it's revealed to be a big woman with a black horn on her head, "Tionisha is a girl, you know!" She says to the knocked out orcs as she introduces herself.

The guy on the bookshelf then pulls out earbuds and puts them in his ears, drowning out all the sound from here on out.

The girl from before begins giggling before transforming into something else, a smoky grey skin colored girl with flowing white hair, also the fact that she's completely naked!

The fallen cop in the vest from before then stands up, completely fine but still dripping with blood, she pulls out two guns and then puts the firearms to work.

One of the orcs shouts out, "But, you're dead! We saw you!"

The cop exclaims, "Sorry, but I was never alive to begin with!"

And it just goes from there, I'm going to cut this out since it may get a little brutal and we all know what happens so let's jump to the new stuff. With the orcs taken care off, the guy begins stepping off the bookshelf and tries to sneak away, it didn't work so well.

A gun was pointed at him, by Ms. Smith, "You there! Come on out!" She knows that this guy is too suspicious to be getting off scot free.

The guy realizes this and pulls out his earbuds and stands there, listening to what she has to say.

Ms. Smith asks, "Who are you and why have you interfered?"

Without giving an answer to this, the guy scans his eyes from left to right to find an exit, the orcs rematerialize back into their former selves, the ones that got turned into pixels, still unconscious though.

The guy then teleports back onto the roof and makes a run for it, he then gets chased down by a barrage of bullets coming from the sniper from before, until, one gets him on the leg. "F*ck!" He shouts before falling on his knees. He checks to see what it was, "A sleep dart, shit…" He then blacks out on the rooftop.

He gets sent back to an interrogation room of some kind, he wakes up and sees Ms. Smith, drinking her coffee on the other side of the table, "Now…" She sets down the plate of cookies. "Let me ask you again, who are you and why have you interfered?" She seems that she wasn't going to take no for an answer.

The guy clears his throat and says, "Well, I'm just going to tell you that I'm just a guy passing through and happened to have found that bookstore. The name's Bryce." He says.

Ms. Smith continues to drink her coffee and replies, "Is that so?"

Bryce just gives a nod, "Yeah." He then takes a cookie and eats it, "You actually remind me of someone." He says as he tries to change the subject about his identity.

Ms. Smith smiles and asks, "How so?"

Bryce then shrugs saying, "Oh, nothing…" He then asks her, "What's your name? To me, your kind of giving me an agent Smith vibe."

The girl from before, the one that got shot several times shows up saying, "I know, right! I can see it, too!"

Ms. Smith replies, still smiling, "Ms. Smith is my name." She then drinks some more of her coffee. She continues, "I'm a liminal coordinator, and in charge of the MON squad. She's one of them." She says referring to the girl who miraculously survived a ton of bullets and still have the holes on her body.

Bryce then says, "So, let me guess, when something happens like today, and humans can't interfere, you need to call up your team of liminals?"

Ms. Smith nods, looking at Bryce, "You seem to know your stuff, Bryce."

Bryce nods, "Oh believe me…" He leans in saying, "I'm full of surprises."

The girl next to Smith laughs saying, "Apparently, considering what you just did back there!"

Ms. Smith replies, "Zombina, I'll take this from here." Apparently the girl is a zombie.

Bryce raises an eyebrow, "Zombina? Wow, talk about uncreative." Saying the last sentence under his breath.

Ms. Smith continues, "Anyway, you're here because of what you did back at the bookstore. You defeated 3 targets, which 2 of the 3 you turned into pixels. And then those two turn back to normal only after 3 minutes."

Bryce nods saying, "So…?"

Ms. Smith then asks, "Do you know anyone by the name of Neptune?"

Bryce replies, "That depends on which Neptune you are referring to."

Ms. Smith then asks something else, "Have you heard something called the Hyperdimension?" How did she know about that?!

Bryce says to himself, "Aw, shit…" Defeated.

Zombina points out, "So, you have heard of it."

Bryce nods, "Well, I've never been but I have been to the dimension opposite from that."

Ms. Smith then asks Bryce, "So, what are you then? You clearly aren't human."

Bryce then says, "Oh, just a human with abilities over space and time. I do go by a title, though."

Zombina then asks, "And that is…?"

Bryce answers them, "The Guardian."

Ms. Smith drinks some more of her coffee before continuing, "So, considering that you aren't from this dimension, in your predicament, you qualify as a liminal." She says to Bryce.

Bryce cocks his eyes, "Where are you going with this?" He asks.

Ms. Smith replies "Simple, I would like for you to join the MON squad."

The room is silent for 5 whole seconds until Bryce replies, "Alright, two questions. One, how much am I getting paid and two, do I get vacation time?"

Ms. Smith answers, "As much as me, for both questions."

Bryce sighs, "There goes my vacation days." He shakes Ms. Smith's hand, "Alright, count me in."

Ms. Smith smiles, "Welcome to the MON squad, Bryce!"

And we're back with Andrew again (About time, gosh!), they sit on the couch checking out the news, they see Ms. Smith with the captured orcs, as she shakes her hands with the mayor for a job well done. "Huh, strange. She's there on TV but what is she doing here? Isn't this live?" Andrew asks while filling out Suu's papers.

Ms. Smith smiles saying, "You will never know my secret, Andy-kun!" She drinks the coffee, "This is the best! I could just marry your coffee!"

Andrew sweatdrops, "Uh huh… yeah."

And with that, this chapter is finito! What will happen with Andrew, his guests and probably the MON squad? Only time will tell. Also, thank you, 0n3dgegaming for your OC, Bryce. I hope you like what I've done with him as he starred half of this chapter, I made him anonymous until he introduced himself.

Review Replies!

You Never Knows: Great! Get ready for him whenever he shows up with the gang of robots.

Sonicfanx1: Here's a bit of my originality while following the storyline. The MON squad part has segments by 0n3dgegaming that he suggested for me. I hope you like it.

Noncanon Segment!

Andrew: Hey guys! Your favorite GPU here with another question!

Neptune: Why are you in your GPU form?

Andrew: Because I can! Now, on to the question! It's from Victor John Foxfire and… (begins reading it) It's another neighbor complaint! Hurray!

Noire: How is that good?

Andrew: It isn't. (reads it) 8 complaints. Papi being naked again and running around the yard. I'm going to take care of that little habit of hers, don't you worry.

Papi: What habit, boss?

Andrew: Oh, nothing… (pats Papi's head) Next, Cerea going into their basement to slay monsters.

Centorea: I swear milord; I haven't done such things! (pause) Excuse me… (walks off)

Neptune: Where is she going?

Centorea: (from a distance) Prepare yourself, dungeon! You shall be vanquished!

Andrew: I'm going to ignore that for right now. Next, stop Miia from cooking, why I can't do that! How else is she going to learn?

Miia: That's right. You know, darling… I would like another lesson from you, with your skilled hands. (leans over Andrew)

Andrew: Ahem! Sorry, Miia! I can't, I'm reading off this list here! Next is, Xelor, stop hacking their wi-fi.

Xelor: I have never done such a thing. It's against my programming.

Noire: Really? Ever since your new improved AI, you haven't been tempted?

Xelor: Nope!

Andrew: Next is Miia again, about her cooking, apparently you have been dumping your leftovers in their garden.

Miia: I haven't darling, honest! (sweatdrops)

Andrew: It's ok, we'll have Scratch finish them next time. Next is Glue, he has been marking his territory on their Pecha Berry trees.

Miia: What are Pecha berries?

Andrew: They cure poison in Pokemon, what a fantastic game…

Noire: Hey! We could have used them for when we ate your cooking, Miia!

Miia: Hey!

Andrew: Don't fight, you two. We got one more. (reads it) It seems that someone stole our neighbor's roommate's arm?

Miia: W-what? (shivers)

Andrew: Who could have done that?

Something taps Miia's shoulders she looks and sees a severed arm.

Miia: Eek! (faints)

Neptune: Ha ha! (holding the arm)

Noire: There's our culprit.

Neptune: Whaddya talking about? This thing is awesome! It can be used as a backscratcher!

Andrew: Give it back, Neptune.

Neptune: Fine…

Andrew: Anyway, that's all of them. I hope we can get along as neighbors despite our differences. Yeah! (raises an arm in the air)

Miia: Arm… detached… (mumbling)

Andrew: I got you, Miia. (carries Miia) I'm going to set her in her room. (rushes off)

Noire: Seriously, give that back, Neptune!

Neptune: I said I will… tomorrow!

Noire: No, now! You are marching there and giving them the arm back!

Neptune: Make me, Noire! (sticks her tongue out)

Noire: Nope, Blanc… make her.

Blanc: Why include me into this? I'm peacefully trying to read a book.

Neptune: See? Let Blanny be and let me hold onto this arm for the rest of the day, ok?

Noire: (grumbles)

Ice: You are making Ms. Smith and my job harder… (sighs)

Suu grabs Ice again, playing with his body.

Ice: Suu! Stop this! I know you know words! What made you think I like this?!

Suu then cuddles Ice close to her, smiling.

And that's how you end this chapter off, with a nice cuddle with Suu. Anyway that's all I got for this chapter so, happy reading!
