A Special Late Night Premier of Part II of SuperMastour's
Xenoblade X Satire-
Private Prague, U.N.P.K
Chapter 11
Cool Down Time
"There we go." Doug muttered as he got some rays, "Everything is a lot calmer now that Apatheus is gone..." he noted the fact that some nearby usually hostile Forfexes were now peacefully sifting through the sand a few meters away from them.
"The astral bond that binds every living thing in Mira must have been affected by the dragon's hostility." Lao informed as he made a sand castle with Lin, "Perhaps removing the Scourge has eased the overall hostility of creatures on the planet."
"Enough with the Buddhist mumbo-jumbo." Doug chuckled as he sat up and removed his sunglasses, then saw a beach ball head straight for him.
"Doug!" Gwin yelled when the ball hit his ally on the forehead, "Agh... Sorry about that, man." he sighed when he saw the ball roll back on the sand.
"You should learn how to catch." Irina scoffed, "So, was that point or not?" she asked Gwin.
"Negative." Private Prague, who was sitting on the beach nearby, told her, "It fell out of the area labeled as Out of Bounds... Nice try though." he smirked when he grabbed the ball and threw it back out.
"Is Elma coming late again?" Doug asked Lin, "Or is she taking a break with pal?" he poured himself some lemonade inside his glass.
"She's taking a break with him." Lin hummed as she patted down a tower, "It's so cute now that they don't have anything to worry about... oh... and the baby." she sighed, "I can't wait to see him!" she squealed.
"She's six months now, no?" Lao asked the excited girl, "Wow... It's been that long..." he finished constructing an entrance gate.
"Negative." Private Prague told Lao, "Elma's conception and pregnancy have a combined time of 7 months, 2 weeks, and 4 days." he informed as he kept watch on Gwin and Irina's little game.
"Whatever." Lao mumbled as he finished the moat, "Just one last thing, Lin." he pulled out a small flag from his pocket, then planted it at the top of the tallest tower.
"Ta-Da!" Lin exclaimed, "Castle Linenstein!" she proudly showed her creation to the world.
"Krush krush krush krush.." a Forfex wandered too close and sifted the sand, then sidestepped until reaching 'Castle Linenstein' and destroyed it in it's search for food.
"Awwww..." Lin groaned as the Forfex continued sifting away, "Now we have to build another one."
"Yep..." Lao sighed, "Lin, can I take a break now, we've been building sandcastles for 2 hours..." he pointed to all the uncompleted or washed up castles behind him.
"Yeah, my butt is really hot now." Lin muttered as she stood up, "What do we do now, Lao?" she asked as the man went to sit down next to Doug.
"Just relax." Lao muttered as he laid on the beach chair, "Let the waves soothe your soul..." he sighed as he heard the soft waves slide up and down on the beach.
"I'm going to see if I can build a sandskell." Lin exclaimed as she grabbed her bucket and shovel and ran off to the beach, "Prague, you want to help?" she called out to the android.
"Affirmative." Private Prague stood up and walked towards the small girl, kneeling once he reached her, "For the greatest results in building a sandskell, I recommend using a mixture of sand with 16 ounces of water."
"I want to build the Guardian Deity." Lin said as she started piling up sand, making a little mound as her base.
"That will not be possible." Prague informed, "The Guardian Deity has unattached arms that cannot be emulated via sand... nice try though." he chuckled.
"You're right..." Lin grumbled as she put down her shovel, "Say... Prague... can you act as a metal detector?" she asked and stood.
"I can detect metallic objects in a 10 foot radius." Prague responded, "For defensive reasons... like right now Doug has his Fulmine hidden inside his trunks." he informed her.
"Cool, let's see what we can find!" Lin jumped up, "Maybe we can find something cool on this planet!" she grabbed the android's hand and started to walk off.
"That was a good game." Irina wiped the sweat off her brow as the two walked back to the beach, "But it was mine to win anyways."
"You did so good, Irina!" Gwin nodded, "You're amazing at everything!" he clapped.
"Let him off the leash already." Doug chuckled, "Here, Gwin, have a bone..." he joked.
"I told you I will not do that." Prague stormed back towards them, "It is not allowed, it is nasty!' he grimaced.
"Come on, that's not fair!" Lin pouted, "I just wanted to see how a Forfex reacted if you spat on it!" she said.
"That's not nice, Lin." Lao shook his head, "We must respect nature, can't you see it has all become peaceful again? Why start another conflict?"
"Without hostile indigens, I don't have to do anything." Doug sighed as he refilled his glass, "Harriers no longer have a call to arms in a peaceful world."
"Neither do Interceptors." Gwin groaned, "I liked the adventures Irina and I took to distant lands to defend our race." he grinned.
"I miss them." Irina muttered, "I miss yelling at Gwin... and fighting by his side." she smiled.
"Get a room!" Lin grumbled and blew a raspberry, "We don't want to see that here." she crossed her arms.
"I find it intriguing that you love the relationship between Elma and her partner fascinating but dislike the relationship between Gwin and Irina." Prague muttered, "This is a perfect relationship... just read the strategy guide." he informed.
"Though everyone knows Irina wears the pants in this little match up." Doug joked about Gwin's rather submissive position, "If I had a partner, I would wear the pants 24/7 no questions asked." he pointed up to the sky, "That's Harrier Style!"
"Probably why you don't have a partner." Irina scoffed, "With that attitude, the best partner for you is a Tyrant." she smirked, "Plus, Gwin and I are just friends... I like to call it a Platoonic Relationship." she joked.
"Ha ha..." Doug rolled his eyes, "I don't need one just yet, until I finish my service with the Harriers I will not look around." he muttered, then noticed a Skell land nearby.
"That must be Elma." Lin looked at the familiar robot and then the familiar pilot.
"Hello, everyone." Elma stepped out in Formal Wear, her high heels sinking into the sand just slightly. Her bright pink coat shone in the sun and rose like a smooth hill around the lower abdomen area. "Lin, I brought your little friend." she said and looked at Tatsu, who had hitched a ride with her.
"Linly! Linly!" Tatsu ran to her, "Linly take Tatsu to build sandcastle!" he jumped up and down.
"Later, ok?" Lin nodded, then walked to Elma, "So... how's the cute little baby doing?" she knelt in front of her and listened to her stomach.
"Now now, is that a way you should greet a colonel?" Elma softly chuckled, causing Lin to back off, "It's almost time." she sighed.
"That is debatable." Prague spoke, "According to my estimates you have 1 month, 3 weeks, and 2 days left until birth. However, the concept of 'almost time' is relative so it could be it." he nodded.
"Just shut up with your calculation crap." Irina grunted as she walked up to Elma, "Colonel, I'm so happy for you! I hope both of you will be happy." she nodded.
"Look!" Lin pointed to the sea, where large whale-like creatures came up to breathe, spewing out a blast of misty water, "Wow! That's amazing." she smiled as a huge tail came up and made the waters part.
"If- Ah..." Elma groaned as she held her stomach, "Ahh... Ahhh.." she started to sit down.
"Oh my!" Irina gasped, "Elma, are you ok!?" she entered a panic, "Is it-"
"I'm fine..." Elma muttered as she took a seat next to Doug, "It's just... wow..." she sighed and wiped the sweat off her brow.
"You had us worried there, Elma." Gwin chuckled weakly, "If it had been labor, I might have just ran in terror."
"I wouldn't know what to do too." Doug rubbed the back of his head, "Unfortunately, being a midwife is not Harrier Style." he chortled.
"It was just a little kick, was all." Elma muttered, "I can still fight a Tyrant or two." she joked and stood up with some difficulty.
"I wouldn't suggest you do that." Lao shook his head, "Any extra stress may just hurt you and the child." he informed.
"She can't really do that." Private Prague said, "All humans are banned from attacking indigens except in self-defense, seeing the have become very pacifistic to our presence."
"The Astral Connection Network has finally accepted us." Lao spoke, "We are now one with the Miran ecosystem..."
"If they have accepted humans, would they accept Prague?" Lin asked, "He is not a human-"
"Come on now, Lin." Gwin crossed his arms, "Prague is as human as all of us." he argued.
"Negative." Prague spoke apathetically, "I was only designed to emulate the human being, not become his replacement, as written in Code 0001 of the United Nations Robotics and Cybernetics Guidelines."
"I miss the old Prague..." Irina rubbed her temples in frustration, "The other one was dumber and I could tell him to stop being an idiot... but this one... ugh." she groaned.
"Now now, Irina..." Private Prague patted her back, "We can't all be smart." he gave a smug grin.
0000000
Private Prague stood next to Elma, then took a long glance at her and her enlarged lower abdomen.
"Is there something you want, Prague?" Elma asked the android quite insecurely, "Yes, I am pregnant if that's what you're asking."
"To be truthful, Elma." Private Prague looked up to her face, "I always saw you as possibly someone who would enjoy the company of females more than males."
"Me?" Elma asked in shock, "Me a les- Ha! Where'd you get that idea from?" she scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"Well it seems a few people had the idea, and I ran it through some statistics." Private Prague responded, "You have a 19% chance of choosing a partner from the same s-" he stopped when Irina hit the beach ball his way.
"It's not like anyone really thought of that." Elma mumbled, then looked at the reader with worried eyes, "Right? Right?"
