note: just to clarify , back in chapter 13 when tomoki asked ikaros to change the location of the battlefield, she transported them to a rocky mountain area. that's why tomoki was then able to have ikaros send tomoko , sugata and mikato back home. i will edit that chapter when i get the chance but i hope this clears up any confusion. Enjoy!
HLPRP Part 17
Oh how things can change in an instant. The majority of this battle had been dominated by the melan angeloids , now all of a sudden there was an opening. There was an opening for deadalus and circle to put an end to a fight that felt like it would never finish, but the gang showed mercy as they wondered why the cyborgs were in such agony without warning.
''hey! What's happening to you guys!? Tomoki asked from afar.
''we don't.. Know'' melan hiyori said.
''why are you worrying about..us anyway?'' melan astrea asked.
''we're your enemies'' melan astrea said.
While the melan angeloids struggled to get back to their feet a voice echoed from an unknown location.
''I told you all not to take all day!'' the voice yelled.
''m-master you are responsible for this? Melan ikaros asked the voice.
''of course I am!'' the voice yelled.
''minos!'' an angry deadalus yelled.
''don't you even think about interfering deadalus!'' minos yelled.
''this is between me and these no good for nothings!'' minos said.
The pain intensified. minos even went after melan nymph, who he had sparred of any pain because she was already in a pitiful state.
''ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!' they all screamed.
''minos stop this!'' tomoki yelled.
No matter how much tomoki and deadus begged, the pain on their foes did not stop. It became worse as time went on , and the angeloids were too terrified at what they were seeing to make a move.
I've got to do something! Deadalus thought as she froze in fear as well.
Deadalus's plan to intervene was cut short, as minos would do something to his strategy type angeloids that would leave the gang with a new level of thousand yard stares on their already shocked faces.
''it seems you've forgotten about my promise to you my dears'' minos said.
''let me remind you of what I promised you would get if you completed this objective for me'' minos continued.
As the melan angeloids continued to lie there helplessly, their battles suits began to evaporate and the robotic mechanics that made them as a whole disappeared. They were now ordinary human girls , wearing school uniforms along with the other everyday apparel that girls wear. The damsels looked at their human hands and fingers in shock, only to watch them convert back into its previous form seconds later.
''no! give them back! Give them their human bodies back! Deadalus screamed.
''that's.,horrible!'' sohara murmured to herself in tears.
''I said stay out of it deadalus!'' minos yelled.
''now my dears do your master a favor and hurry up will you?'' minos asked.
10 more minutes is all you get! Minos said.
''any longer than that and I won't be so nice next time!'' minos said.
After that warning , minoses's telepathic communication ended and the two sides were left to finish their battle. Even with a time limit now on them and a renewed incentive to complete their mission , deadalus was help bent on convincing the melan angeloids to join her group.
''you don't have to listen to him!'' deadalus said.
The melan angeloids payed no mind to deadalus plea and attacked without hesitation. Ikaros and the others were able to cut them off at the past though, signifying a drop in their awareness.
''this is what I'm talking about!'' deadalus said.
''that bastard minos drained a lot of your power when he paralyzed you guys!'' deadalus continued.
''you think a guy that would zap half your strength and yell at you for taking too long to do a job cares about you?! Deadalus asked.
''not to mention the fact that he toyed with you by turning you into normal human girls for a brief moment, and then back into angeloids for the satisfaction of crushing you emotionally as well! Deadalus added.
''it would be wise to listen to mother'' ikaros said.
''this battle is pointless now'' ikaros continued.
''shut up ikaros!'' melan nymph shouted.
''we have a job to do!'' melan nymph continued.
''and we intend to do it!'' melan nymph screamed as she prepared to fire a blast.
The angeloids stopped their melan counterpart from firing and circled around her , giving Hiyori ,who had now rejoined the fight the chance to bound the nymph look alike to chains.
''thank you Hiyori'' deadalus said.
''get the rest of them as well'' deadalus ordered as she reverted back to her normal form.
Hiyori bounded the other melan angeloids to chains upon her creator's orders.
''hey! Let us go!''melan astrea shouted as she desperately tried to break free.
''will you listen to me for a minute! Deadalus shouted.
''if you want to be humans I can help you out with that'' deadalus said.
''but we have to get minos out of the way first!'' deadalus said.
''we can't achieve anything if he's still alive'' deadalus continued.
''do you really think he'll turn you into human girls if you complete your mission and kill tomoki?'' astrea asked.
''no he won't'' astrea answered.
''and how do we know you aren't just messing with us? melan nymph asked.
''because you're all like a second set of daughters to me'' deadalus.
That struck a nerve with the melan angeloids.
''Hiyori let them go'' deadalus said.
She did.
''we're not going to force you to fight alongside us'' deadalus said.
''but we could really use your help'' deadalus added.
''you know where tomoki's place is don't you? Deadalus asked.
''yeah''melan astrea said.
''then come see us once you've made your decision'' deadalus said.
Tomoki had ikaros teleport the group back to the house, and the melan angeloids were left to think about whether they should join their rivals to take down their master minos. It would be a hard decision to make.
