Chapter 6: Good moods

09:49 AM (Japan Time), Saturday January the 20th…

"… Man. Laika. You're a cool guy, real! You sure can be one hell of a masochist when you feel like it…"

"You shouldn't that surprised, Enzan. And you should be the one to stop complaining whenever you get the role."

"Hmmm… Laika's body feels good… I think I'm going to tease him a bit, you know?"

"Heh. Thought you'd do so, Netto…"

Enzan, Laika and Netto were having a threesome in a king-sized bed placed in a bedroom somewhere.

Laika was tied with some rope over and below his nipples which kept his arms immobile: he also had some keeping his wrists immobile and a blindfold was placed over his eyes: he sounded amused as Enzan (sitting on the bed) made him move up and down his cock while Netto, in front of him, was teasing him with the fingers and licking the edge of his nipples.

"By the way… It'll soon be 5 years since we first met, no? Was it in March?" Netto brought up.

"In March the 10th." Laika specified.

"5 years since we met you, Laika… Man. Time does fly by! It feels like you were here from the start!" Enzan muttered.

"And I always say it, but I was such a moron back then… Feeling so cocky because I thought that a military Net Savior force would be above a civilian one…" Laika admitted with a sigh.

"Well. You did give an air of superiority… And at a first sight you looked like you were 16 or older! When Commissioner Kifune told me you were but a year older than me then I got surprised… You were so tall!" Netto admitted next.

"I did a lot of exercise in the base gym and the mandatory daily exercises were also strict and harsh… The push-ups and the other stuff, see…"

"Heh! I see. Oh well. Let's not go over that."

"I'm going to play with your cock, Laika!"

"Heh. Try it." Laika challenged.

Netto began to suck Laika's cock while pulling some spots of his balls' skin: Enzan merely impatiently looked around and seemed to be waiting for something: Netto spotted that.

"What, Enzan… You find Laika boring and want to focus your energies into me instead?" He sighed.

"HUH? What did you say?" He gasped.

"You're so readable, man. You're not putting energy into it. I know I'm extremely masochist but not to the point I want to be tied up all the times I have sex with you and Laika… I already do stuff like that with niisan and Tooru – kun…" Netto scolded.

"W-well, that's…"

"That's why I thought of this system to switch the roles every week: to make it fair. So that maybe you'll understand a bit of what I feel like. To prove that we trust each other. Like it or not, Laika got ahead of you, Enzan… And I didn't want you two to fight over me like in the Troy War… Gotcha?" Netto sighed.

"Netto has some points, Enzan… Why don't you try to enjoy it instead of trying to pretend I'm not here?" Laika told him.

"Fine, fine. I don't want to sour the thing. It's just that… I lately feel tired and impatient…! The old man's pressuring there and there…! Despite that the numbers are brilliant… He always says they are crap! The old man really wants to associate being VP to suffering like I gotta suffer!"

"Ah! So that's it. You did have a very annoyed face yesterday evening but wouldn't say why. I was sure it wasn't as a result of the attack to the Net Police HQ."

"Yeah. The old man suddenly showed up and said that we were losing money because I was "playing superhero"… I felt so tempted to go and…!"

"Really. That man…! What does he think, that you need to be the type prone to anger to properly direct a company?"

"Guess that! Thinks he's Mr. Perfect!"

"Forget about that party-pooper, Enzan. Let's chat about something else… Otherwise us 3 sleeping together had no meaning. For example… Polindris strikes back!"

"Who or what is that?"

"Dunno. Saw it on a PKMN forum's user signature…"

"Gotta be some idiomatic pun…" Enzan rolled his eyes.

"It also said… "Polindris said: "I AM Polindris!"…"…"

"I fail to see the point. If there's ANY."

"Heh! Reminds me of that stupid guy who was trolling around with that of Vincent's inventions… That of the "pantosymanos"… Which was a short version of "espantos y manos"… "Scares & hands"… And one Deadly Pandora radar operator, Mike, loved to bring up his recordings."

"Nelaus told us, yeah. And he made silly puns. Like… "Four, as in Harrison Ford."…" Netto laughed.

"Mr. Ford surely felt compelled to have a cold on that instant."

"Fine. Then I've got mine… The Duke of Ducks!" He grinned.

"Not bad. You deserve an Excellent, pupil Ijuuin." Laika joked.

"Or this… Some Yakuza have a foreign researcher aboard a private jet… They think they've drugged him with sake but he feigned it… They're about to throw him out into the Ise Bay… The lead man says… "Farewell, sensei! An honorable bath awaits you!"… But the researcher suddenly places both feet on the man's chest and flings him out of the plane and into the ocean!" Netto excitedly explained.

"So the irony is that the Yakuza man is the one who ended up having that "honorable bath"…"

"Another scene is that some other Yakuza chase the researcher inside of a kabuki hall and end up in the lead actor's changing room as he's still with the kimono and the face paint. Enraged at their rude tone, he begins to kick them with his bare feet and swing a prop katana around; they run off and fail! So, the lesson is… Don't underestimate a kabuki actor!"

"Where'd you get those from?"

"Oh, that… A Belgian bande dessiné named "Blake & Mortimer"… One of the adventures happens in Japan… Titled "Professor Sato's Three Formulae"… The author is named Peter Jacobs…"

"Interesting."

"The drawings impressed me because they were so realistic… There are Japanese billboards and banners to add to the setting… Feels like a lot of work went into it! They've got some Japanese words and expressions too although some aren't correctly spelled… But it's no wonder because it's from the 70s…" Netto explained.

"I'll check it out later. Check it out!" He made a pitchy voice.

"Bright Man, huh?" Enzan recalled.

"Sure. Was flashy. Flashier than Flash Gordon and Flash Man combined: Flashing Flash Gordon Man." Laika laughed.

"Too long!" Netto laughed.

"Yeah. Too long…" Enzan rolled his eyes.

"By the way, Enzan… A lil bird will deliver you blessed fortunes!"

"Huh? I fail to get the point, Laika."

"Don't worry. It'll soon show up with the 4:44 PM Tijuana Express. Full of marijuana too. Heh! My newest pun!"

"Tijuana~? Oh come on." Enzan was baffled.

"Or maybe you prefer the Aomori Express?"

"What's in Aomori, anyway?"

"Tons of forests." Laika joked.

"How original."

"Isn't it? Heh. I think I finally reached my point…"

"Oho. Then I'll give you a helping hand…"

Netto began to suck Laika's cock at a quick pace and he soon released filling his mouth: Enzan gasped as he felt how his own cock was tightened and he released as well: Laika chuckled while Enzan seemed to be relieved from the stress and wasn't paying attention.

"Heh! Gone straight into the white world… Of fancy music and dancing beauties…" He chuckled.

"You mean the "Beauty" girls from MGS4? If you take too much time to defeat them all becomes a white world… And you can make them dance and make poses if you play that fancy melody from the iPod…"

"Heh, heh. Beware of the drum can: the best weapon to deal with brainless soldiers… As well as the Solar Gun… Taiyo~!"

"And of the "ritual"…"

"What "ritual"?"

"There's a Nico Nico Douga user named "Running Cardboard Box" that has some weird habits when he plays MGS3… Especially putting on the croc cap and using the torch to quickly dance around and repeatedly move up and down while crouching… It's pretty funny… His skills are superb: he easily toys with the guards even in Extreme Difficulty Mode… And comes up with fun scenes… Like placing asleep officers in the lockers and C4 to make them fall into the ground from the locker one after the other!"

"Oho. I'll have to check it out…" Laika grinned.

"And now…"

Netto helped Laika stand up and placed him face-up to Enzan's right while Netto was the left: he pulled the blankets over them and they seemingly began to lick and tickle Enzan.

"Lick-tickle!"

"That ain't fair! Stop it! Guys! It tickles!"

"The God of Tickles is my ally!" Netto laughed.

"Oh come on! Patent it!" Enzan laughed.

"Sure. Along with Tickling Vodka!" Laika made up a lame name.

"Oh come on! Then mix it in with tickling Cola and…! The tickles! Stop it already, it's spreading all across my body!"

"That's the point. You're gonna beg for more!" Netto laughed.

"Because our tickle is super effective to vent off bad mood! So let's have fun for a while! Before the snowy snowman comes!"

10:08 AM (Japan Time)…

"… Yeah… Like this, Buruusu…"

"You really like it doggy-style, eh, Saito?"

"Sure… I'm such a masochist… I'm teasing ya, Search Man!"

"I can see that. Try to force me to laugh."

"That a challenge? Heh!"

Saito, Blues and Search Man were also having a threesome: Search Man had taken off the whole of his armor and Blues kept the shades yet he revealed the silver hair he had: Saito was sitting on his fours as Blues stuffed his cock from behind and Saito was licking Search Man's lower body to tease him: Search Man smiled.

"By the way, Blues… Did you find the Silver Wind?"

"Huh? What's that?"

"Maybe it's a Sharo joke."

"Guess that." He didn't seem to get the point.

"Heh. That's also a move in PKMN games…"

"Ah, yeah… I seem to remember having heard it before…"

"Beware!"

"Of what? Some pun?"

"Of Pikachuu and Zenigame attacking together." Saito grinned.

"Why?"

"100,000 Volts plus Water Gun… The electricity splits the water's atoms into H2 and 0… Combine it with Lizardon's Flame Thrower and… You can guess the result." Saito explained.

"I see. H2 and O are highly flammable gases… An explosion ensues because they ignite."

"And that's what happened in Movie 2, when the guys were trying to free Fire from the cage in the Collector's flying palace."

"You do like going over those old movies, eh?"

"Sure. I was 6 at the time so I didn't really get it despite that I already was a Navi by then… I lacked knowledge. Looking back at it now, over 10 years later, helped me figure it out. Too bad I was too little to properly see the birth of the franchise… I wasn't even 1 year old!"

"Next year will be the 15th anniversary, no?" Blues asked.

"Sure. This year will begin Gen V… I guess we'll get an announcement on the upcoming months…"

"And in the meanwhile you bust the time going over the previous generations, I take it?"

"Sure. Reading manga as well… PKMN Special is good… There are plenty of others and I did check them out but… Special has interesting characters."

"I see. Well, I have fun looking at pro players in MGS… To prove how brainless the soldiers really are… Some funny jokes… There's a character in one of the games, a Major, who turns out to be gay… Although they don't explicitly say it but it's so evident… The female spy says "I'm good at taking off men's clothes but it doesn't work on him!"… Or… If you place a book with provocative pictures of women… All other soldiers and officers immediately turn their attention there but he merely scoffs as if finding it worthless…"

"I see. Subtle indeed!"

"The Sharo jungle setting was well done too… The characters were iconic, all of them… Not to mention the radio conversations… There's a point in which there's a trap set… If you trigger it and get hit by the ensuing trunk, the female spy will call you… Saying she forgot to tell you about those… Snake, the protagonist, merely replies… "I knew it."… To which she assumes he'd figured it out and says… "Well. At the very least I don't think you're the type of really stupid guy who'd fall for such a childish trap."…"

"Really? So that means Snake is a really stupid guy?"

"Yeah. There are so many jokes… Including some "Secret Theaters" that are official parodies of game scenes… Those make me laugh SO much… They're so crazy…"

"Guess I'll check it out. Will do for a change of airs…"

"OK! I'm going!" Blues warned.

Blues released inside of Saito and he grinned as Blues pulled out: he and Blues changed positions and Saito began to thrust into Blues next while rubbing his nipples: Blues licked and teased Search Man's cock and Search Man merely smiled.

"You'll have to do better, Blues!"

"Guess that."

"Heh. You feel as good as usual, Buruusu." Saito grinned.

"Of course."

"By the way, Blues… Did Davis lend you a voice synthesizer to sing "Daisy, Daisy"? And to dance around?" Search Man asked.

"Oh come on. Of course not. Davis is serious."

"He might have a side of him that loves pranks."

"Maybe. I don't care."

"Or maybe Lander will introduce you to Lucky Luke."

"The cowboy faster than his shadow, eh?" Saito grinned.

"Sure. Bang, bang! Lucky Luke!"

"Heh. How about this?"

Blues began to pull the balls' skin with the left hand while he quickly rubbed Search Man's cock with the right hand: he didn't even flinch so Blues grumbled and tried to increase the pace: Search Man whistled a tune as if to provoke Blues: Saito grinned and began to rub Blues' cock with his right hand to harden it again: Blues groaned and Saito increased his pace at the same time.

"N-not fair, Saito…!" He laughed.

"All's fair in love, Buruusu."

"Sounds like a cliché…!"

"Maybe yea maybe nay."

"Whoa! It's coming out!"

Blues released followed by Search Man and then by Saito: Blues and Saito panted while Search Man wasn't impressed.

"You lacked what it took, Blues the Silver!"

"The Silver…? Well… It's bearable." Blues muttered.

"I'm the ghost of the Lovers' Alley!" Netto joked from outside.

"Sheesh. Netto – kun. Why do you have to interrupt us?"

"I felt like it. Since we wrapped up over here! Enzan now loves tickles!"

"Next time I'll shower you in cold water."

"Yikes! A cold shower?"

"Search Man here will paint your hair green."

"E~H! NO WAY!" He gasped and hurriedly ran away.

"Netto – kun hasn't grown out of pulling pranks from time to time… And to think we've come this far…" Saito muttered.

"Hey. At least he's not as annoying as Cloud Man." Blues reminded him with a sigh.

"HUFF! That guy is UNBEARABLE. Makes me wonder why Twilight hasn't reprogrammed him from scratch yet."

"Guess his enmity with Vadous overcomes that." Blues guessed.

"Guess that."

"Let's try to cheer up." Search Man suggested.

"OK… So… Buruusu… Did you find a pretender?" Saito joked.

"Oh, plenty. Too bad they were already engaged." He joked back.

"Heh. The other day I stumbled upon that Inosuke Yadeo mister, Mr. Kir Osh's step-brother… He gave me his business card… He said "I can see it on your eyes… The eyes of profound love!"… Then left. He must believe he's a seer. Talk about a funny fellow." Saito laughed.

"He was clean, no?" Blues asked.

"Yeah. Totally. He only wants to be advisor for young guys who feel shy to tell another guy they like him…"

"I see. Well then, no reason to fear him then."

"Eboshi – kun had met him twice, too. He only offers his office as a meeting place for both parties and tries to see if, like that, he manages to solve the problem. And he does it free of charge so I guess he actually has another job…"

"Or maybe he owns a property, like a flat, and earns money through the rental of it…" Search Man suggested.

"Could be. Oh well. He's not important."

"Alright."

"Guess we'll soon have news… I guess that Twilight now wants more data on the Rama members and must have lured someone else into a fight to collect more data…" Saito muttered.

"So maybe we should finish up and get on the move…"

"Sure. We had the intense part yesterday evening, anyway."

Saito climbed out of the bed, picked his clothes (the school uniform, white boxers and white socks) to dress up while Blues, and Search Man reformed their bodysuits and armor: once they were ready, Saito fixed up the bed with Blues' help and they exited into the corridor.

"I had a shower yesterday evening so…"

"We'll go fetch the news. You go have your breakfast."

"We'll talk later."

"Sure. Good luck."

"Thanks."

Both Navis dematerialized while Saito hummed a tune and entered the kitchen: he began to ready his breakfast while humming the Pokémon main theme.

"OK! Let's have a salami sandwich today. Salami~…"

"And Salamander Battle Chip!" Netto joked nearby.

"How original. Patent it, Netto – kun." He rolled his eyes.

"Sure! Laika and I are gonna patent a lot of things today!"

11:51 AM (Japan Time)…

"… Mugro~h! 11th one!"

"And I found yet another spawn point…"

"These guys are weak but they come one after the other: and that pisses me off! By the Zirakzigil! How annoying!"

"Now's not a moment to quote Dwarf names, Balrog…"

"I knew that, Past!"

A Navi named Balrog was fighting a horde of Gekkou units that were attacking him.

Balrog looked around two meters tall.

His head was shaped like a demon's with two blackish horns and reddish eye irises as well as sharp teeth: it was protected by a mail around the whole of its volume.

His body was colored red and had black metallic armor with purple diagonal patterns over the surface.

Two small wings with armor over it came out from behind him as well as a tail with a purple flame on it.

His hands and feet ended in sharp claws.

Purple flames surrounded his body.

He was wielding a wrecking ball and a large sharp lance filled with red thorns all over its surface.

His mere presence radiated an intense heat wave.

"Flame Wrecking Ball!"

He formed a wrecking ball surrounded by flames, swung it and flung it at a Gekkou unit as it ran for him while shooting the machinegun yet all rounds bounced off the armor: the blow crushed the "head" of the unit and it was deleted but two more rushed in while shooting grenades at his feet: he merely began to hover and roared as he formed a ring of flames that expanded outwards: it overheated the units and defeated them.

"Hmpf… So it'd seem you can bite, savage…" Freeze Man's voice taunted.

"Damn it! Popsicle Man! Come out and fight me!"

"No need to. Looking on from afar suffices!"

"You cowards! Fight like men!"

"Hmpf. Rage as much as you want!"

"Cool it down." The Operator, "Past", ordered.

His window only displayed the Kanji kako (past) in purple color.

"And I'm not a savage! I'm a monster! My emblem is hidden under the armor but it says mamono (monster)! It's colored vermillion and is set against a navy blue background!"

"And what if? Do I look like I care for such trivia?"

"Wha~t? What an annoying rascal!"

"You're but a brainless pawn."

"PAWN? AM – sama personally designed and programmed me!"

"To make you think you're important."

"Don't listen to that loser, Balrog. It's a trap."

"Hmpf. A man afraid of his own past…"

"I'm not afraid of it! You're the one who's afraid of losing to us like you lost against Fire Man." "Past" shot back.

"GRRRR! DAMN SAVAGES!"

"Sheesh! Popsicle man! Focus!" Anaya ordered close by.

"R-roger, my lady! I'm on it!"

"You need someone else to remind you what to do." Past poked.

"GRRR! SHUT UP YOU SAVAGES!"

"I said focus! Are you deaf or what!?" Anaya hissed.

"I am sorry, but…! It makes me feel VEHEMENTLY DISGUSTED! MA'AM! SHA~h!"

"Then feel VEHEMENTLY COOL!"

"I don't think it makes sense! Ma'am! No offense! Ma'am!"

"16th one!" Balrog finished off another one.

"Yet another spawn point… That makes 6 of them!"

"How annoying! I want to CRUSH them!"

"Don't waste too much energy into this, Balrog. There could be something worse waiting for us. Like a RAY or the REX."

"Sheesh. Fine, fine! 17th one!"

"You know what? Go to the South Pole and learn what real ice is about, Popsicle Man!" Anaya was still discussing with Freeze Man.

"Excuse me?" He gasped.

"Eh…Excuse me, my lady…" Twilight timidly called out.

"Yelling Yoe: don't intervene!"

"Why me…?" He groaned.

"Now, now! Ms. Anaya…" Opoulos intervened.

"What now?" She complained.

"In-fighting will make us look weak." He warned.

"WHAT? Damn it. Why didn't I think of that?"

"No offense, but I think you let anger cloud your judgment. One should always try to be cool and rational."

"FINE! LET'S SETTLE IT ON THAT!"

"21st one!"

"And two more spawn points…" Past sighed.

"Be like the Colonel AI and say you're going to do a sortie and handle things yourself!" Anaya told Freeze Man.

"But I'm a disadvantage…!"

"Twilight! Didn't these armors erase elemental damage?"

"Yes, but… There's still a lack of data on that wrecking ball… I'm not sure if it could inflict heavy damage to the armors or not…" He trailed off.

"What are you waiting for?"

"That's why I'm sending little fry to battle this mole: to get more data on this thing." Twilight defended himself.

"I think we're wasting the time with these guys. You should go figure out how to beat that pesky interloper! Can't you use the data on that imitation you made? To figure out weaknesses and such?"

"O-of course… I tried to already, but…"

"What now? What's the issue now?"

"In theory… That interloper should be weaker but… I'm not sure of what else they can do… They haven't shown their full power yet…"

"And you're chickening out? Sheesh!"

"I s-shall offer no excuses, my lady…"

"Eh… They can hear this…" Freeze Man warned.

"WHAT? SAY THAT EARLIER! SHUT IT OFF!"

The channel finally shut off and both sighed in relief.

"28th one!"

"And 11th spawn point… There's no end to these… I think we'll have to ask for a helping hand… Wait a min… I'm sending an email… There. I called Future and asked if he can send Destruction Man over here to try to locate the source of these." Past explained.

"30th one…! Huh? Speaking of which… They stopped coming." Balrog suddenly noticed.

"Hmmm… Have they given up? No, I don't think so. Remain on your toes and examine the surroundings…"

"Yeah. Guess the real deal's coming."

There was the sound of an engine and an M1126 ICV Stryker vehicle rolled into the area: the rear door lowered and 9 Heel Navis ran out while carrying Stringer missile launchers: they locked on Balrog and shot but he merely generated the heat ring in mid-air and the heat detonated the explosives mounted on the missiles: the Mark 19 40mm grenade launcher on the vehicle began to shoot grenades at him but didn't fare better.

"This ain't the real deal either." Balrog grumbled.

"Yeah. Far from it. It's an attempt to appeal as serious but it's meaningless when faced with you."

"Or me! Hra~h!"

Destruction Man suddenly dashed across the air while loading energy on both fists and unloaded it by hitting the grenade launcher: it bent and blew up while he landed next to Balrog.

"Found a couple spawn points on the way 'ere."

"I see. So the others were decoys and the real ones were outside of my detection range." Past guessed.

"Sure thin'… What were ya expectin' outta these dirty rascals?" Future calmly shrugged.

"Nothing good."

"I can't detect anything odd nearby…" Balrog whispered.

"Let's not lower the guard."

"Hmpf! Today's demonstration is over." A hologram of Freeze Man appeared and fumed.

"Well. If it ain't the retired General Ivan. Ya came out of ya nest to boast, huh? Show some muscle!" Destruction Man taunted.

"Hmpf…! One day… We shall turn you into bits and bytes!"

"Cosmo Man and Yamato Man tried to do so and failed. Several times already. Your track record is pretty bad!" Past reminded him.

"Hmpf. However, with this data we'll figure out how to wipe you out once and for all…! Farewell!"

"Annoyin' meddlin' rascal…!" Future grumbled.

"They can try all they want but they won't beat us so easily."

"Well said, Danna! Hey, Balrog! Let's go to Higureya later!"

"Sure! To figure out if Higure Yamitarou got blessed by a sneaky bless!"

"Oh come on." Both Operators found Balrog's joke to be stupid.

I've got a bad feeling about this… Like it was the calm before the storm!
