Chapter 37: Finale

21:31 PM (Japan Time), Friday December the 30th…

"… Man. What a blow."

"Obihiro – sama. Are you alright?"

"Well…"

Obihiro, depressed, sat on a sofa place inside of an underground living room and Hunter Man stood next to him.

"Physically, I'm O.K. Morally… I'm not so sure. I mean… I could stand my ground for a while, but… The guy was too much. And then all those guys came and everything became chaos." Obihiro muttered.

"But it is not your fault, sir! The "Eye" is the true culprit."

"I knew that! Even so… How's Death?"

"He's recovering. Sidier is also undergoing recovery at the Dark Realm! They'll be back in shape in less than 24 hours." Hunter Man reported.

"I know our research is intact and so, but… It'll take time to recover from this blow."

"Don't be so defeatist, Obihiro." A voice rang out.

Yamikawa's hologram walked in and he stood in front of Obihiro, so he gasped and looked up.

"Emperor S – sama!" Both he and Hunter Man saluted.

"Look, look… I'm not your boss. I'm a business partner. You can call me by my surname." He told them.

"Yamikawa – sama would be fine?" Obihiro asked.

"Look: I knew this would end one day! But you mustn't be depressed, Obihiro. We'll wait, recover, and we'll then grow strong enough to strike back with renewed tactics." Yamikawa told him.

"Roger..."

"Try to come up with something! Maybe spreading some of the combat data would do fine! We can prove that the robots were effective even against the "Net Saviors". This will attract customers. Impose one condition to the buying! They are not to be use to rule over others. They are to fight in warfare areas. It'd be better if you let PMCs use them! They never seek control over others."

"That could work, sir." Hunter Man commented.

"It'll work! Trust me. I haven't been monitoring the outside world during 10 years in vain."

"Yes, sir… I'll get working on it as soon as Death's repairs are completed and he's able to move. How is Sidier like?"

"He's somewhat down but Solo is managing to get him to be more responsive. Somari – chan is trying to come up with some pun to lighten his mood. Maybe he'll need to go train some days and his mood will quickly change." He admitted.

"I understand… Please leave it to me." Obihiro replied.

"We'll do our best, sir…" Hunter Man saluted.

"Beware of the Sarlacc! It's hunting for Boba Feet's bitter taste!"

"I guess Yamikawa – sama is not a person who gets depressed easily! No wonder! We better take his advice seriously and get to work. I won't be laughed at for being soft." Obihiro muttered.

"Excellent, sir."

"Let's also find out who's behind that "eye" and crush them!"

"Delighted, sir."

"Crush a crushing and mush a mushing!" A voice laughed.

"Damned! Already found us!?"

"Show yourself!"

"Too bad! Wait until my show begins! Bye, my chums!"

21:38 PM (Japan Time)…

"Come on, Sidier… That form of yours wasn't "invincible"! No – one is, and not even Saruba! Hikari managed to best him, even, so…"

"I know that, Solo, but…"

Kuroumi was speaking with Sidier, sitting next to him in his room's bed and passing the right arm around Sidier's shoulders.

Sidier was frustrated and angry while Kuroumi was trying to comfort him.

"But if that bothersome and repulsive "Eye" hadn't gotten in the way, then I'd been able to triumph!" Sidier growled.

"You can't account for everything. It was obvious that the guy would get on the way. Why don't you lift up your mood? Maybe you could go and visit the three Temples to see your disciples' progress." He suggested.

"My disciples! True. I'd forgotten about them, even! What a shameful thing… It'll look like I don't care for them! I really should check on them."

"But before that…" He grinned.

He pulled Sidier into the bed and loomed over him, puzzling Sidier.

"You need something to relax and I happen to know the way. Wanna try making out with me?" He told him.

"No… That'd be abusing of your patience, Solo! I wouldn't want to bther you with my trivialities, really…" Sidier looked nervous.

"What I'm saying the whole time? I'm not a noble! I'm a normal guy just like ya or Saruba. We've done it from time to time. And we sometimes get played upon by Somari – chan! But relax! She's not a sadist! she simply plays the commanding girl."

"I never wanted to intrude your privacy, really! Please leave! I'm bothering you and you surely have better things to do!"

"You're not "intruding"! We're inviting you! After all… We're all in the same ship of fools!"

21:42 PM (Japan Time)…

"… So! Saruba… You managed to lift up Obihiro's mood?"

"I guess he'll come up with a bright idea along with Death – dono once his repairs finish."

Yamikawa was talking with Kagehi.

She'd opened the cloak to reveal that she wore a brown wool jumper, jeans, red socks and white sneakers.

She also had fingerless black gloves on her hands.

"By the way… I believe Solo is going to discover a new playmate by now."

"I wouldn't be surprised. I'm sure Sidier will find out that it helps to relax from time to time."

"Yet… You never asked to do it with me…"

"I respect your privacies as a girl, Somari – chan. And I'd never want to break them. Haven't we made a pact with you ten years ago? You come see us from time to time, but we don't mind it because you don't object!"

"Don't worry: I was teasing ya. No. The pact we all made is good enough and I plan to leave it as it is. I sometimes get some little funds by recording you guys and then posting it elsewhere."

"I won't object to that, either."

"Are we going to keep on sabotaging activities of S&M grunts? I mean the types that force teens into it to turn them into merchandise… I don't mind those which are adult models who like the stuff like in legal porn videos and movies." She brought up.

"I already tipped off some grunts in Las Vegas! The police must be rounding them up by now. They target those reckless teens which come to play there and end up in a pinch." He turned serious.

"What happened to Hikari was disgusting enough. We must make sure it doesn't happen again! The guy doesn't deserve that!"

"I never said he did!"

"I know! Let's admit that Sidier and Death were being dramatic! We never intended to kill anyone from the beginning."

"Of course not! It just adds dramatic mood to the thing! How could I avoid Death – dono talking about "death" when he's that kind of a gentleman?"

"I know, I know! Just tell him to keep himself in check. If he wants to kill berserk Navis or Viruses, then he can do that. But we're not murderers, for God's sake. We did kill that man but we acted out of self-defense and rage: he wanted to kill us!"

"Could we please not bring the topic up, Somari – chan?"

"Anyway… There's gonna be a pause before we jump into the stage again. I'm off to talking with Sidier's girl disciple at the Death Temple! She tends to get into chatter with Ophiucus Queen DS! I'll teach her about the latest trend out there." She giggled.

"Go ahead…" He gulped.

Kagehi giggled and exited the room while Yamikawa sighed in relief and then brought up a holographic screen.

The display had Rokushakudama and the robot head on his right shoulder.

"Really! That Napalm Man guy can come up with very interesting jokes from time to time! Nenji – san can be a nice fellow but he's somewhat absent-minded from time to time! I'm sure he'll become famous as the "Two-Headed Man"." He chuckled.

He switched screens and examined the abandoned WWW base, where "Sorcerer Gufuu" was studying a broken down machine.

"I'm a genius! My show is gonna be grand!"

"Gufuu from The Legend of Zelda: The Mysterious Hat? Hmpf! Plot all you want, "Sauron", "Gufuu"! Whatever you lowlife's damned name is. I'll find out who you are and destroy you! Stick out your neck!"

"I feel tension! Excellent! Let there be excitement!"

21:45 PM (Japan Time)…

"It feels…! Solo… Please… Faster…!"

"I guess you're somewhat masochist, Sidier. It's fun to see, ya know?"

Kuroumi was making out with Sidier.

Sidier stood on his fours while on his bed, gripping the covers, while Kuroumi was sitting on his knees and pumping into Sidier's insides with his cock as he held him by the waist.

"Here it comes, Sidier: my subtle hand." He whispered to him.

He gripped Sidier's balls for a moment with his right hand before starting to rub his cock, and Sidier's moans turned louder.

"Your moans are lovely!"

He began increasing the pace until Sidier cried as his cock released and stained his face and mouth-

His inner muscles closed around his cock so he released inside of him.

He sat on the bed and pulled Sidier towards him so that he sat on his lap, facing forward.

"Wakey, wakey, Sidier – chan. Here comes my wake-up medicine~!"

He rubbed his fingers around Sidier's nipples and softly pulled them to excite Sidier.

He snapped out of his state and looked like he was getting excited again.

"Here I come." Kuroumi told him.

He began to thrust and move Sidier up and down along his cock's vertical length as he rubbed Sidier's nipples.

Sidier moaned while his cock hardened again and Kuroumi used his right hand's fingers to grip it before he lowered the foreskin and began to play with the head.

"Enjoy it!"

Sidier looked in total ecstasy by now given the volume of his moans and his closed eyes.

"Get ready."

Sidier's cock went off for the second time and it stained his upper torso and face.

Kuroumi stained his fingers with the stuff and licked them in a slow and deliberate manner.

"Not bad. You have some taste. You're sweet, even, instead of spicy."

"R-really…?"

"I guess you're the kind of type who wants his aibou to play with his little insides the whole time! I like that mood of yours! Look at the ceiling!"

He assumed a face-up position while having Sidier on top of him and his cock still inside of him.

He began to move again and he used his coated fingers to rub Sidier's nipples in a slow and precise manner.

Sidier kept on moaning while Kuroumi looked animated.

Man. I was right: Sidier doesn't want to take initiatives because he must think he'd be rude to me, so he lets me be in charge. Maybe I'll take advantage of it to toy with him.

He rubbed the head of Sidier's cock with his fingers and he gasped before groans grew louder yet again.

"Here I come!"

Kuroumi gripped his balls in a hard manner to cause him to go off for the third time as he also released.

"Sidier. Have a preview of my taste. Maybe you'll find me bitter even!"

"Y-yes, sir… By your orders…" Sidier muttered.

"No "sir"! Just call me Solo."

"S-sorry…!"

He detached from the cock and approached his face to it.

He began smelling it and touching it with his fingers before taking it into his mouth and softly pulling the foreskin back.

He closed his eyes and seemed to be acting out of instinct.

"Good, Sidier, good… Just don't use the fingers! The merit is doing it with your tongue." He instructed him.

Sidier nodded in understanding and began to take the cock in until he reached the base.

He began to lick it while moving upwards and rubbed the head of the cock.

"Not bad. I'll increase the pace."

He placed both hands behind Sidier's head and had him move up and down at an increased pace.

Kuorumi looked animated while Sidier was following the pace.

"Here it comes."

He released inside of Sidier's mouth, who choked and spit some of it out of instinct.

He grabbed his arms and made him crawl closer before he made contact with Sidier's lips.

He pulled towards him by closing his arms around his neck, so Sidier opened his eyes wide in surprise but did not move from his pose.

He slowly closed his eyes and seemed to be retuning the kiss, too.

"The white string of Fate showed up. Isn't the name a total irony, Sidier – chan? I guess Irony Man showed up."

"Guess so…" Sidier muttered.

"What… It wouldn't be complete without a kiss, you know! Come 'ere and let's rub each other."

He closed his arms around his back and pulled him closer.

Sidier was about seven or eight centimeters shorter than Kuroumi.

No wonder.

They began to rub their cocks together while sharing another kiss.

They went off and stained each other's faces and upper torsos.

"Let's clean this and go for the third kiss."

"Let's go…" Sidier slowly replied.

"You're the timid guy when it comes to new stuff? Don't worry! You'll soon get used to it."

They licked the liquid off their bodies and shared the third kiss.

Kuroumi closed his arms around Sidier's waist to glue him to his body.

He grabbed Sidier's cock and made it enter his ass, to Sidier's surprise.

"Try testing me out." Solo challenged.

"T-that's…"

"Man! What is there to be ashamed of?"

"I feel like… I'm abusing of your patience, and…"

"Sheesh! You need to fix that behavior, man!"

"W-were it so easy!"

"Maybe you need an elixir?"

"Sheesh! No need for weird stuff!"

"Even less if it's made by the queen of snakes, right?"

"Sheesh! Fine, I'll do it! Stop teasing me!"

"That's the spirit, man! Do it!"

"A-alright! Here I come!"

21:55 PM (Japan Time)…

"… How's your body like, Death?"

"I feel better. But it will still take some time to recover, I do believe."

Hunter Man was speaking with Death Shadow inside of the laptop as the nanomachines worked in fixing up his wounds.

"But I am sure I shall come up with something! We have the combat data and the schematics. We could always auction them and see if a war over them starts! The one party standing at the end shall be granted them."

"Splendid." Hunter Man chuckled.

"This is just an interlude. The new season will soon start and we'll start using proxies to handle things."

"Excellent!"

A beep rang out and a holographic display opened, showing "Gufuu" dancing inside of the old WWW base.

"What's that!?" Obihiro grumbled.

"Must be another avatar of the "eye"!" Hunter Man guessed.

"Damned interloper!" Death Shadow growled.

"Success. I'm a genius, aibou. Ya showed me the ropes! I won't deny that. My subtleness has great extent when I want to. I'm sure that the "Net Saviors" will be glad to be dealing with a tougher guy like me! We'll firstly have to see if Ijuuin and Laika haven't gone crazy from Raoul Ou – sama's crazy disco dances!"

"Sheesh! This guy thinks he's funny!" Obihiro grumbled.

"Feeling the impatience, my fellows? You'll have to forge it into patience, because I've gotta ready my pawns. The pirate and the buffoon!"

"Damn you!" The trio growled.

"And bless you~! With wings of plastic! To dance~!"

22:08 PM (Japan Time)…

"The curry was delicious! Now I feel ready for a good night's sleep and for tomorrow! The last day of the year!"

"We'll be looking forward with eagerness to the year 2007!"

Netto and Saito were looking out at the snow-covered streets.

"Guts Man should be Gorilla Man! Everyone agrees on that case. And Dekao really could pass as a neophyte."

"Neophyte Ooyama! Ready to criticize everything! He should be a food critic instead of a cook." Netto laughed.

"He won't change! Let's hope for a good start to the year 2007 starting two days from now. It'll be an exciting year!"

"What should we do about the Cut Man Brothers?"

"Those guys? Let them be! They're laughable! By the way! Did you see Raoul – san's video that Thunder Man sent us?"

"Totally crazy. I wish Thunder Man could materialize and somehow straighten him out. I prefer his serious self."

"Raoul the Thunder would do for a cool title, though! It's cool!"

"Raoul the Thunder! Nice! Niisan!"

"Anyway… It's getting late and we're beaten so… Let's go sleep!"

"Sure!"

"Time to nap!"

Both climbed into the bed (Saito taking the right side) and pulled the covers over them until to the necks.

"Good night!"

Both soon fell asleep while the snow continued on falling...

THE END
