Chapter III
Hello to all! It is time for the third chapter of Legends of Chaos: Return of the Chaos King! ...Though most of you probably knew that already. Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the previous chapter. I hope you all enjoy this chapter as well. Post a review if you do. Or if you're confused about anything. Or even if you didn't, just try to be sensible about it. That aside, I would like to thank my coauthor Bakuto Masaki for his help with this story. Well, nothing else to add here, so might as well move on to the main event.
Kazuma, Chifuyu, Excellen, Isa, Cornelia, Cecile, Linda, Sanger, Kai, Elzam, Tempest, Gilliam, Coulson, and Fury walked into a large room where multiple S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents were spraying coolant on Bumblebee, whom was bound to a large slab, unable to move.
"Hey!" Kazuma shouted as he ran over to them, angry.
"Wrap it up boys," Fury ordered, "let it go."
The Agents stopped and released the clamps on Bumblebee, allowing the yellow Autobot to sit up.
However he almost instantly equipped his Plasma Cannon and pointed it at the Agents around him.
"Whoa, whoa!" Kazuma shouted to get his attention. "You're okay now, pal. The idiot's aren't going to hurt you anymore."
Bumblebee narrowed his eyes but stowed his Plasma Cannon regardless.
Kai snickered and turned to Chifuyu. "That's one hell of a car."
"Yeah…" Chifuyu answered weakly. "…And came cheap."
"Bee, we found it," Kazuma explained. "The Allspark's here."
"R-really…?" Bumblebee asked in disbelief.
"Yeah. Come on."
Back in the large main room, Bumblebee, Kazuma, Excellen, and the others walked towards the giant glowing cube.
"Now," Bumblebee muttered in thought. "How to transport it." He reached up towards the Allspark.
Kai watched curiously. "Well, he's doing something."
"Yeah…" Excellen said apprehensively.
Right as Bumblebee touched the Allspark, it flickered before beginning to twist and shift, shrinking in size from many meters high to less than a meter.
Kazuma whistled at the sight. "Wow…"
Bumblebee turned to face the group. "Now, time to go."
Kazuma nodded. "Yeah. Though, we kinda have a problem."
"What?"
"'Cons. And their popsicle of a leader is here, too."
Bumblebee narrowed his eyes.
"There's a city not far from here called Mission City we can take the Cube to. We can hand it off to the Union there," Sanger recommended.
Bumblebee shifted to vehicle form. "I can get us there."
In another area of the dam, a human-sized robot that resembled Frenzy but was blue instead, smashed a man's head against the wall before walking up to one of the control panels. "It's about to get a whole lot warmer in here." He pressed several buttons and almost immediately, the coolant jets around Megatron shut off.
Back with Kazuma's group, Kazuma and the others looked around curiously as loud alarms started blaring.
"That's never a good sound…" Kazuma and Linda muttered in unison.
Fury frowned in annoyance. "Oh you gotta be kidding."
"What?" Excellen asked.
"That alarm means NBE-1's power nap is over."
"Oh great…" Kazuma snarled. "The evil Overlord Deathbot's awake…"
"Slag…" Bumblebee groaned.
Cornelia turned to face Sanger and the others. "We're going to need armaments. Those Decepticon creatures aren't going to just let us take their prize. Load up as many Knightmares as you can into transport trucks. And bring that new one as well."
"Yes, ma'am!" Sanger and the others responded.
"Excellen, Chifuyu, let's-" Kazuma began but was interrupted as Rumble burst through one of the nearby walls. "Oh come on! I am getting sick of this crap!"
"Go," Fury ordered. "We can handle this guy."
Rumble charged at the group but was hit by an arrow that exploded.
Fury turned around and shouted, "Go!"
"Right!" Kazuma responded as he, Excellen, Chifuyu, and Isa climbed into Bumblebee.
"Let's get those transport trucks ready to go," Sanger ordered.
"I can help too," Cecile urged.
"Sounds good," Kai answered.
"Kai, Elzam, on me," Cornelia ordered. "We're going to load that prototype onto one of the trucks and get it out th-"
She was interrupted as the ice around Megatron shattered loudly before he smashed the catwalks in front of him. "I. Am. Megatron!" he shouted furiously before his right arm shifted into a Fusion Cannon.
Outside, Bumblebee drove out of the entrance to the dam.
"Hey, what's that!?" Isa asked.
A large portal opened nearby as Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Soundwave, and Onslaught emerged from it.
"Ah scrap," Bumblebee and Kazuma cursed in unison.
Onslaught equipped his Thermo Rocket Launcher and fired a blast at the dam, blowing a hole in the wall.
"Dammit!" Kazuma cursed.
Starscream and the others then entered the dam through the hole.
"Move faster Bee!"
"Hey!" Excellen suddenly shouted. "There's Optimus."
The others looked ahead as they saw Optimus, Ironhide, and Jazz driving towards them.
"Haha!" Kazuma shouted. "Optimus! Great! We just might survive!"
Optimus drove up and transformed before standing in front of Bumblebee. "What is the situation?"
"We have the Allspark," Bumblebee answered, "but Megatron's back."
Optimus narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists before putting two fingers on the sides of his head. "Ratchet, open the Land Bridge. Send everyone."
"Everyone?" Chifuyu asked.
Suddenly a portal opened behind the group and multiple other Autobots walked out.
A red, four and a half meter tall Autobot with wheels on its shoulders.
A white and red ten meter tall Autobot with jet parts on its back.
A red and white, four and a half meter tall Autobot with a slender frame.
A white, red, and black, seven and a half meter tall Autobot with wings on its back.
A large, nine meter tall red Autobot with a cannon its chest and treads on its arms.
A large ten meter tall white and blue Autobot with large cannons on its back.
A four and a half meter tall red Autobot nearly identical to Bumblebee.
A four and a half meter tall yellow Autobot with wheels on its shoulders.
Optimus turned and motioned to them. "Meet Sideswipe, Silverbolt, Arcee, Air Raid, Warpath, Scattershot, Cliffjumper, and Hot Shot."
"Oh that is so awesome," Kazuma said.
Air Raid folded his arms and asked, "So where are we headed?"
"Mission City," Bumblebee answered.
"I've sent over the coordinates," Ratchet answered over a com line.
Silverbolt nodded. "Air Raid, let's go!"
Air Raid nodded and both transformed into large jets and flew off.
"Variable Mobile Suits…" Kazuma muttered.
"Autobots, let's move!" Optimus ordered before they all transformed to their respective vehicle modes and drove off.
Inside the dam, two Gespensts charged towards Megatron.
Megatron sneered and fired at the two, blowing holes in both. "Pathetic."
Two purple Knightmares charged at Starscream from behind.
Starscream equipped his Null Ray and shot one before ripping the other in half.
Megatron snarled and then growled, "Starscream!"
Starscream tensed and turned around. "L-Lord Megatron!?"
"Where is the Cube?" Megatron asked as he shot a Knightmare that jumped at him.
"The humans have taken it."
Megatron growled furiously. "You fail me yet again, Starscream. GET THEM!"
"Yes, Lord Megatron!" Starscream answered fearfully before transforming and flying way, Thundercracker and Skywarp behind him.
Megatron turned to Soundwave. "Bring all Decepticons to me."
"Acknowledged. Shockwave, send all Decepticons through the Land Bridge."
At that moment multiple more Decepticons appeared behind Megatron.
A black, four and a half meter tall humanoid robot with police car-like parts on its body.
A large, nine meter tall green Decepticon with treads on its back.
A blue and beige four and a half meter tall Decepticon.
A beige, six meter tall Decepticon with large cannons on its shoulders and treads on its legs.
A blue and grey, six meter tall Decepticon with helicopter blades on its back.
A black and purple, nine meter tall Decepticon.
A yellow, four and a half meter tall Decepticon.
Three nine meter tall Decepticons similar to Starscream, one blue and black, one beige and red, and the third green.
The first walked up to Megatron and bowed. "Lord Megatron."
"The honor is all yours, Barricade," Megatron answered dismissively.
"What are your orders, Lord Megatron?" Barricade asked.
"Get back my Allspark! Decepticons, transform and rise up!"
Elsewhere inside the dam, Cornelia, Elzam, and Kai stood behind a corner, hiding from the Decepticons.
"There sure are a lot of them," Kai muttered.
"We need to bring in reinforcements," Cornelia suggested.
"But how?"
"By getting out of this place and radioing them."
Fury walked up to the group and pointed out, "There's a comms room down this hall. It's old but it'll do the job."
"Let's go then."
Soundwave turned to the side in thought and then opened his chest. "Frenzy, deploy. Operation: Search and Destroy."
"Decepticons, move out!" Megatron ordered before the entire group took off.
Frenzy turned and ran down one of the nearby hallways and found Rumble lying in a heap. Frenzy ran over and kicked the down Decepticon awake.
Rumble stood up and groaned before turning to Frenzy. "Where are you going?"
"Boss wants us to crush a couple nuts," Frenzy answered.
"Sounds like fun."
Fury, Kai, Elzam, Cornelia, and Linda, whom had joined them, walked up to a large pair of steel doors as Fury opened them.
Linda coughed several times as dust flew into the air. "So dusty in here…"
"We don't really use it that often," Fury explained.
Elzam looked around curiously. "And I thought my father's antique clock was old."
Kai wiped dust off a counter and asked, "Man, Fury, how old is this stuff?"
"Ever heard of Captain America?" Fury asked.
"Yeah…"
"It's that old."
Linda looked around and squealed.
"What's with the kid?"
Linda picked up a box excitedly. "BCP's greatest hits!"
"Well that's new."
"Uh…we have a problem…" Kai muttered as he looked around the radio.
"What?" Cornelia asked as she swatted a floating cobweb away.
"There aren't any microphones…"
"Great…" Elzam groaned.
"This whole plan is bust if there aren't any microphones."
Linda raised a hand.
"What?" Fury asked.
She pointed at one of the computers and then asked, "Why don't we hook up one of the computers to the radio and send out a morse code message?"
The group stood in silent.
"Do it," Fury ordered after a pause.
Linda immediately got to work.
However, the group was immediately distracted as the large steel doors rattled.
"That's not good," Cornelia muttered.
Outside the door, Rumble's arms had turned into pistons which he slammed against the doors before grinning. "First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside!" He then smashed the door open and shouted, "Prepare to crumble before Rumble!"
"I thought he got blown up!" Kai shouted.
"Obviously he got better!" Linda retorted.
"Well this sucks," Fury growled.
"Save some for me, Rumble!" Frenzy shouted as he equipped a Neutron Assault Rifle.
"Oh I really hope you've got a plan Nick," Kai muttered.
"Don't die?" Fury answered unsurely.
Rumble and Frenzy began to charge before falling to the ground as something exploded behind them.
Behind them stood a man with short blonde hair and brown eyes wearing a black and red vest with the S.H.I.E.L.D. symbol on it, black pants, matching boots, a quiver on his back, and a large bow in his grip. "I've got a better idea."
"'Bout damn time you showed up, Hawkeye," Fury grumbled.
Frenzy snarled and got up before turning to Hawkeye. "Why yo-!" He stopped when he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to the side to see Cecile standing with Kazuma's shock glove on before she grabbed his face. He sputtered and trembled before falling over, his face charred.
Cecile blinked and then smiled widely. "Wow…these are awesome!"
"Salamander, look out!" Linda shouted.
"Are you even trying to remember my na-whoa!" Cecile shouted before ducking under Rumble's piston.
Hawkeye narrowed his eyes and pulled an arrow from his quiver with a faintly glowing blue tip before firing it at Rumble.
"Blagragawarga!" Rumble sputtered insanely before collapsing.
Cecile panted heavily. "H-how did…I dodge that…?"
"No clue," Hawkeye answered as he stowed his bow. "But that was some quick thinking."
"Are they…dead…?" Linda asked timidly.
"Not likely," Cornelia added. "Where did you get those gloves?"
Cecile looked at them curiously. "Kazuma handed them to me before he left."
"Aww," Linda mumbled. "The stud gave you a gift."
Cecile blinked curiously. "Stud?"
"Finish hookin' up that computer," Fury ordered.
"I got that done three minutes ago."
Cornelia twitched an eyebrow. "…Then why didn't you say so…?"
"You didn't ask."
Cornelia sighed. "Whatever, let's get this finished and get those orders sent out."
The Autobots drove on the highway towards Mission City, attempting to weave through the traffic.
Isa laughed happily. "Look how fast we're going! WWWHHHEEE!"
Kazuma chuckled lightly before glancing out the rear window and widening his eyes. "Shit! It's Dead End and Wildrider!"
Chifuyu twitched an eyebrow. "Did you just curse in front of Isa?"
A tic mark popped on Kazuma's head. "I think we've got bigger problems!"
"So? It doesn't give you the right to swear in front of your little sister!"
Excellen then interjected, "Uuhh…there's one that's comin' close!"
A beige tank with large cannons on the top transformed into robot form and charged at the group.
However, Optimus responded by transforming as well and slammed into the Decepticon. "This is as far as you go, Demolishor!"
Demolishor stood up and growled. "Ah, slag. I just had to get Prime…"
Optimus then equipped his Ion Blaster into on hand and his Energon Axe in the other and prepared to fight Demolishor.
Demolishor flinched and then equipped a Scrapmaker in one hand and a Magma Frag Launcher in the other.
Optimus charged at Demolishor and started firing.
Demolishor rolled to the side and fired a grenade at Optimus.
Optimus batted it to the side, ran up to Demolishor and slammed his axe down.
Demolishor blocked it with his Magma Frag Launcher and then began to spin the Scrapmaker's barrels.
Optimus spun to the side to dodge, stowed his Energon Axe, grabbed Demolishor by the leg, and then threw him over the side of the freeway.
However, Demolishor managed to grab Optimus' leg and pulled him down as well, causing both to tumble to one of the roads below.
Optimus groaned as he stood up. "That was not very nice."
"Oh shut it!" Demolishor retorted as he fired at Optimus.
Optimus ducked to the side and fired several shots at Demolishor, hitting the latter in the arm.
Demolishor prepared to fire back but Optimus rushed in faster than he could account for and swung his axe, lopping off Demolishor's left arm.
"Guagh!" Demolishor howled in pain.
"You're done!" Optimus said coldly as he caught the tip of his axe on the back of Demolishor's head and pulled, ripping Demolishor's head from his body and dropping both to the ground.
In a large, bustling city, a long limousine drove through crowded streets.
Inside the limousine, a man with short, messy black hair, a squared mustache, and blue eyes wearing a simple black suit sat in the back seat and sighed. "This is one hell of a traffic backup. Right, Pepper?"
Pepper, an attractive young woman with orange hair in a hime cut that reached the middle of her back where it fanned out and green eyes wearing a purple female suit with a knee length skirt and a deep v-neck with a low cut black shirt underneath, turned to him mildly annoyed. "You're just too impatient, Tony."
Tony shrugged. "Probably. Patience isn't my greatest virtue."
"Oh? I didn't realize you had any virtues."
Tony laughed sarcastically. However, he narrowed his eyes when he noticed two jets fly overhead. "Now that's new."
At the same time, Bumblebee, Kazuma, and the others drove into the edge of Mission City, Cornelia, Elzam, Kai, Cecile, and Linda having joined in S.H.I.E.L.D. transports.
"You've gotta be kidding me, this place is full of people," Kazuma muttered.
As the group stopped, Cornelia walked up to Bumblebee and leant over to see Kazuma in the driver's seat. "Is that Cube safe?"
Kazuma gulped slightly as he saw down her blouse and nodded. "Y-yes."
"Good," she stated as she stood up straight. "We managed to call in some reinforcements in that base of theirs, so hopefully they arrive soon."
At that same time, a white, a blue, and a black jet flew towards the group.
"Ah, there they are."
Ironhide suddenly transformed and stood up. "It's Starscream!"
Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp transformed and landed on the ground with force.
Inside his limo, Tony gasped as the shock wave from Starscream's landing sent a car flying at his limo.
Tony and Pepper dove out of the vehicle as the car landed atop theirs.
"Well…this isn't good," Tony muttered.
"Ah, shit…" Kazuma muttered as the three Decepticons readied their weapons.
Thundercracker equipped a Thermo Rocket Launcher and fired at the group.
Bumblebee transformed, dumping Kazuma and the others to the ground.
"Bumblebee!" Ironhide shouted.
The two grabbed a nearby truck and threw it at Thundercracker's incoming missile, blocking it.
"Tch," Starscream hissed. "Skywarp!"
Skywarp smirked and vanished, before reappearing behind Kazuma and the others, and fired his Scatter Blaster at them, but Bumblebee leapt in the path of the shot.
"Bee!" Kazuma shouted as Bumblebee fell to the ground. "We've got to get goi-is that Tony Stark?" Kazuma muttered as Tony stumbled around.
"Okay…I did not build that," Tony said as he looked at the Decepticons.
"Tony!" Pepper shouted. "What did you do now!?"
Tony looked at her surprised. "Me? I didn't do anything. For once."
"Stark!" Cornelia shouted as she walked towards him.
"I also haven't done that yet."
"What the hell are you doing here, Stark?" Cornelia demanded.
"I was taking a business trip, but now it looks like we're under attack from Arm Slaves I didn't build."
"Not Arm Slaves," Kazuma corrected. "Only a few of these guys are that big. The rest are Knightmare size. And they are Alien Robots from an Alien Planet fighting over an Alien Artifact."
Tony raised an eyebrow. "Huh…" he then turned to Cornelia. "So, wanna grab a coffee or something until the giant droid deathmatch is over?"
"…Seriously…?" Kazuma muttered.
"Stop flirting and start fighting, or get out of the way!" Elzam shouted as he boarded a Sutherland.
"Who's that guy?" Tony asked.
"A friend," Elzam answered as Thundercracker charged. He then opened fire on the Decepticon while backing away.
However, Air Raid dove from above and tackled Thundercracker to the ground.
"Gah!" Thundercracker grunted as he stood up and turned to Air Raid. "Stupid Autobot!"
Kazuma ran over to Bumblebee as the fighting ensued around him when he noticed that Bumblebee's legs had been severed. "Damn! You okay, Bee?!"
Bumblebee nodded. "Y-yes, it hurts but I still continue to function."
Kai turned as more Decepticons approached. "Uh, hey, there's more comin'!"
Brawl and Motormaster drove towards the group swiftly.
"Shit!" Kazuma cursed. "We gotta get moving!"
Tempest grabbed Kazuma's shoulder and pointed to a large building nearby. "There's an old office building a few blocks away. Get that Cube up there and the Federation will take it and hide it away."
Chifuyu folded her arms. "Meaning it'll be your problem and not ours."
"Just grand," Kazuma hissed.
Isa stood behind Chifuyu, clutching her sister's pants as she began crying. "I don't wanna be here…I wanna go home…"
Chifuyu turned around and crouched down to Isa's level. "Don't worry, Isa, we'll go home soon." She then stood up and turned to Kazuma. "Get that Cube up to the roof and away from the Decepticons."
"Right," Kazuma answered. 'But how?'
Excellen looked at a nearby tow truck in thought. "Hey, Sideswipe, help me get Bumblebee up here."
Sideswipe nodded and picked up the injured Autobot.
Jazz rushed towards Brawl and transformed before leaping atop the Decepticon's vehicle mode. "Come on, Decepticreep, gimme your best shot!"
"Get off me you puny Autobug!" Brawl snarled before transforming and attempted to grab to Jazz as the small Autobot as it climbed on him.
Ratchet ran over towards Brawl, shooting at the heavily armed Decepticon.
Brawl growled and managed to grab Jazz by the leg and threw him at Ratchet, causing the two to hit the ground.
However, Warpath raced towards Brawl and transformed before tackling the tank Decepticon. "I'm gonna take you down Slag for Brains!"
Brawl uppercut Warpath in the chin, causing the tank Autobot to stumble to the ground.
Motormaster transformed to robot mode as Ironhide rushed at him. However Motormaster punched the Autobot in the abdomen, grabbed him by the head, and then threw him at Elzam's Sutherland, causing both to slam into a wall.
"Where are those reinforcements!?" Cornelia shouted in frustration.
Kai fired several shots from an assault rifle at the Decepticons. "No clue, but if they don't hurry it up they'll be picking us up in buckets."
"That's assuming there's even that much of us left," Gilliam retorted.
Cornelia pointed to a second Sutherland and ordered, "Gilliam, give Elzam some support!"
Gilliam nodded. "Roger. What about you, ma'am?"
"I'm going to try and get this Gloucester ready for combat."
"Right," Gilliam answered as he jumped into the Sutherland and started it up.
Hot Shot turned as Wildrider drove towards him and fired at Wildrider.
However, Wildrider transformed, dodged the shot, and grabbed a street lamp and hit Hot Shot with it.
"Seriously!?" Hot Shot asked in annoyance as he stood up.
Dead End ran from up on a roof and jumped down, landing on Scattershot's shoulders.
"Hey!" Scattershot shouted before slamming his back against a building, hitting Dead End against it at the same time.
Gilliam turned his Sutherland and fired at Dead End as well, finally causing the Decepticon to drop from the larger Autobot.
In her tow truck, Excellen turned to Bumblebee and asked, "You secure back there, Bee?"
Bumblebee nodded. "Yes, why?"
"I'll drive, you shoot," Excellen answered with a smirk.
Bumblebee smirked in return. "Good idea!"
Kai looked around and frowned as Brawl stood back up from another series of attacks. "Hey, that big one's getting back up."
Arcee stood on top of the green Decepticon, pounding on his head, however he grabbed her and threw her at Warpath. "I'm gonna crush all you Autobugs!"
Onslaught turned as Silverbolt dove towards him and fired several shots.
Silverbolt fired a missile at Onslaught and got hit in the wing.
Onslaught slammed into a building as he was hit.
Silverbolt transformed to robot mode as he fell and managed to kick Thundercracker in the face before crashing.
Thundercracker groaned as he stood up. "Why is it ALWAYS the FACE!?"
Acidstorm fired as several Britannian tanks entered the area but was hit from behind and watched as Bumblebee, riding on the back of the tow truck, moved past him. "You're going to pay for that!" He then charged as Bumblebee continued firing.
Excellen hissed as she evaded Acidstorm's shots. "Bee…keep him off…!"
"I'm trying!" Bumblebee retorted as he continued to fire at the charging Decepticon.
Acidstorm smirked as a long rifle form on his arm that fired a stream of acid, causing Bumblebee to fall off the truck and for Excellen to lose control, hitting a pole.
"Excellen!" Kazuma shouted.
"Finished," Cornelia muttered to herself as she finished preparing the Gloucester.
Kazuma grit his teeth and then watched as the Gloucester's cockpit opened. He then ran towards the Gloucester, climbed up the ladder, and jumped into the cockpit.
Cornelia gasped as she watched him board it. "Hey! What do you think you're doing!?"
"I'm gonna borrow this!" he answered as he closed the hatch. He looked around at the controls inside and nodded to himself. "I…know what to do…somehow…" He then flipped several switches inside before turning a key, causing the machine to start up.
Acidstorm then walked towards the truck and grabbed the roof, ripping it off. "Hello, fleshy!" he shouted as Excellen looked up at him fearfully.
"Go!" Kazuma shouted as he made the Gloucester begin to move, a shotgun in one hand and a lance in the other, before the land rollers hit the ground and sent the machine careening towards Acidstorm.
"I-impossible…" Cornelia mumbled in disbelief as Kazuma piloted the machine. "How…?"
Acidstorm smirked as he raised his acid cannon towards Excellen. "Time to-!"
"Get away from her!" Kazuma shouted as he rammed into Acidstorm, shoving the shotgun in his mouth. He then proceeded to fire shot after shot until Acidstorm's head flew off, before shoving the shotgun into the severed neck and firing until a vibrant blue liquid splattered around. "No one…threatens…Excellen!" He then turned towards her, still sitting in the truck. "Excellen! Are you okay!?"
Excellen nodded with a light blush and a smile. "Yeah, I'm alright."
However, Kazuma noticed a small trail of blood on her forehead. "No you aren't! You're bleeding!"
Excellen wiped it away with a smile. "I'm fine, really." She then slowly got out of the truck and flinched before putting a hand on her back.
"No you are not!"
"I'm fine, worry about the Decepticons! And get that Cube-!"
Excellen stopped as Megatron slammed to the ground behind her. She turned slowly and widened her eyes as the Decepticon leader towered over her.
Kazuma grit his teeth and stepped in front of her. "Excellen, run! I'll deal with this Arm Slave reject!"
"No, it's Megatron!" Ratchet shouted.
Megatron rushed forward, backhanding Kazuma out of the way.
"Gah!" Kazuma grunted from the impact. He launched grappling hooks from the Knightmare that latched onto a nearby wall, allowing him to right himself.
Megatron then equipped his Fusion Cannon and began firing throughout the city.
Kazuma and the others dodged around as the blasts hit randomly. "What's wrong, Buckethead?! Your Targeting System's worse than a First Gen. Mobile Armor!"
Megatron growled and shouted, "I'll tear apart this entire city until find my Allspark!"
Kazuma snarled. "Yeah, like I'll just let you take it and destroy the city. With how my crazy luck's working I'll be forced to pay for it! Not happening junk bot!"
Starscream threw Cliffjumper away and pointed at Kazuma. "Lord Megatron, that human has it!"
Kazuma made the Gloucester flip off Starscream and rebutted, "Stuff it Screamy! I'm tryin' to make him look dumb!" He then turned, activated the Gloucester's land rollers, and dashed away. "Though that ain't hard to do!"
Megatron growled loudly and shouted, "Decepticons! Get my Allspark!"
Cyclonus then lunged at Kazuma, only for the teen to make the Gloucester step on his face and jump off it. "Did you step on me!?"
"Yup!" Kazuma retorted with a grin before dashing into a multi-story parking garage.
"Get back here, maggot!" Megatron demanded.
"Nope! Gotta come get me if you want your precious!"
At that moment, five light blue Mobile Suits transformed into a flight mode flew towards the area.
"About time those Flags got here!" Cornelia grumbled.
Megatron turned to the incoming Flags and raised his Fusion Cannon, firing five shots and destroying all five Flags.
Cornelia hissed angrily before watching as Kazuma taunted Megatron.
"Oi Megadoof! I'm your target! Or have you given up on wanting this block?" Kazuma stood up out of the cockpit, holding the Allspark.
Megatron growled and fired a shot at Kazuma.
Kazuma re-entered the cockpit and deftly avoided the shot before speeding off. "Missed! You've gotta be the worst shot ever! I mean, I've seen more Rocket Launchers with better accuracy!"
Tony smirked as he watched Kazuma lead Megatron away from the main battle area. "The kid's not half bad. And he's got style."
Megatron equipped a long, spiked mace made of energy that he chucked at Kazuma.
Kazuma barely dodged to the side as it flew past before it wrapped around a column that Megatron pulled on, flinging himself up towards Kazuma.
"Ah shi-" Kazuma muttered as Megatron crashed next to him. However, as he fell, he fired the Gloucester's hooks straight up, hooking onto Cyclonus as the Decepticon flew over.
"Wh-what the…!?" Cyclonus shouted as the hooks wrapped around his tail.
"Thanks for the pick up! Here," Kazuma stopped as he fired at Cyclonus' rotors, "I'll help ya land!"
Cyclonus transformed and snarled before hitting the ground.
Megatron jumped up as the two fell and grabbed Kazuma's Gloucester by the head.
"Fuck!" Kazuma shouted before aiming the shotgun at Megatron's face and firing.
Megatron bent his neck out of the way and slammed the Gloucester into the ground.
"Dammit!" Kazuma cursed as he shook around in the cockpit. "Well…that hurt…" He then stood up as Megatron jumped down to the ground and walked over to him.
"Give me my Allspark, worm!" Megatron demanded.
"How 'bout no?" Kazuma rebutted before throwing a grenade that exploded and sent shrapnel flying in all directions.
Megatron shielded his face from the explosion and snarled before chasing after Kazuma.
Kazuma growled as he looked at the status of his Knightmare. "This thing can't take much more. Damn it. I'm gonna need to bail." He thought for a moment and then smirked. "But maybe a little overload to its core before I bail. Give tin man a nasty surprise."
Megatron smirked as he flexed his fingers. "Looks like my systems are starting to come back online, maggot." Thrusters on his back then fired, sending him launching forward at Kazuma.
"Crap!" Kazuma flashed through several sets of controls inside the cockpit, frantic. "Come on, come on…got it!" The Gloucester's cockpit then ejected from the rest of the machine and flew away as Megatron grabbed the Knightmare. "Hahaha! Say Boom-Boom ya scrap heap!"
"Wh-?" Megatron mumbled before the Gloucester exploded violently.
Kazuma sighed as he exited the escape pod, holding the Allspark. "Hahaha! Never mess with a techy who has access to Sakuradite!"
However, as the smoke from the explosion cleared, Megatron stood, unharmed, and brushed dirt from his shoulder. "Did you say something?" he asked disinterestedly.
Kazuma gaped. "Oh come on! That kinda blast should have done something! What the hell does it take to deep six this asshole!?" However, he raised an eyebrow when he noticed sparks of electricity around Megatron before his body shimmered momentarily, causing Kazuma's eyes to widen. 'A kinetic barrier! That's how he was able to survive! But a blast like that has to have reduced its power significantly. Okay, think. What can you do to use this to your advantage?' He then turned to Ironhide nearby, who threw Soundwave into a shop in front of him. "Hey! Ironhide, can ya hold Buckethead's attention for a bit?"
Ironhide raised an eyebrow and then nodded. "Right!" He then picked up a car and tossed it at Megatron.
Megatron turned and fired a shot at the car, destroying it, before firing another shot at Ironhide, who rolled to the side to dodge.
Kazuma dashed behind Megatron as the latter was distracted and saw a small black box attached to Megatron's waist. 'There!' He looked around and then noticed one of the S.H.I.E.L.D. transports nearby and nodded to himself and ran towards it, grabbing a sniper rifle from the weapon rack. "Let's see…I push this button to deactivate the safety…pull this lever to load a round…" 'Hey, how do I know how to use this thing? Bah, not important.' He then raised the rifle, aimed at the box on Megatron's waist and fired a round that slammed through the box's casing.
Megatron flinched as his shield flickered and then deactivated. "WHAT!? My barrier's gone?!"
Kazuma raised his fist into the air victoriously. "Yahoo! Take that Buckethead!"
Megatron growled loudly as he turned to Kazuma.
Kazuma flinched and began to sweat. "…Maybe shouting was a bad idea…"
Megatron scowled angrily.
"A very bad one." He quickly fired at one of Megatron's eyes before turning and sprinting.
"Gah! You putrid insect!" Megatron howled before charging at Kazuma.
Jazz then dashed towards Megatron, firing his Scrapmaker at the large Decepticon.
Brawl then slammed through a nearby building and tackled Jazz, picked him up, slammed him against the ground, and then aimed his Scatter Blaster at Jazz's chest point blank several times, causing the Autobot to go limp as blue liquid poured onto the ground.
"Jazz!" Hot Shot shouted as he rushed at Brawl.
Kazuma grit his teeth as he continued running from Megatron, before the large Decepticon started to gain ground.
Megatron reached out to grab Kazuma but Optimus rushed in from the side, knocking Megatron to the ground and transforming to robot mode.
"About damn time!" Kazuma hollered.
Optimus raised his hands to fight as Megatron stood back up. "Megatron!"
"Prime…!" Megatron growled as he wiped his chin.
"Kazuma!" Kazuma interjected. "Has better keep running!"
Megatron and Optimus then both charged at each other, slamming against each other and falling to the ground.
"Well that wasn't very graceful. Not graceful at all."
Optimus groaned as he stood up and turned to Kazuma. "Kazuma, listen to me. I am going to try and destroy Megatron. But if I cannot, push the Cube into my chest, it will destroy us both."
"Are you insa-wait, that gives me an idea…" Kazuma mumbled.
Cyclonus rushed towards Optimus and began firing but a beam of energy suddenly ripped through his chest, causing him to fall to the ground limply.
Behind the fallen Decepticon, a large, blue, white, and dark blue, humanoid machine with four massive cannons, one in each hand and two on its back, hit the ground.
"Wh-what is that thing!?" Ramjet shouted in confusion.
"Like I would know!" Dirge exclaimed.
The large machine then fired two more shots, decapitating both Dirge and Ramjet.
"This ain't good!" Dead End shouted.
The woman in the cockpit of the machine then said, "Sorry it took me so long, boys. Nicky ain't exactly cheap with this stuff. But say hello to the AGE-3 Fortress!"
Kazuma gaped. "Holy shit a hotty is in it! Wait, S.H.I.E.L.D. HAS HOTTIES?!"
Excellen blinked in thought as she heard the woman's voice. 'Th-that can't be…'
Dead End then jumped at the Fortress from atop a small building and tried to land on its shoulders. However, it turned and sent him away with its elbow. "Now, now," the woman said with a sardonic tone. "I don't like getting taken from behind."
Motormaster rushed at the Fortress and fired multiple shots from his Neutron Assault Rifle.
The Fortress dashed to the side, dodging the shots, and slammed into Breakdown, sending the relatively small Decepticon flying at Brawl, knocking both to the ground.
Dragstrip raced towards the Fortress in vehicle mode and attempted to knock it off balance, but it merely kicked at him, sending him flying.
Motormaster hit the ground as Dragstrip flew into him.
Wildrider then ran and jumped at the Fortress, grabbing on to the side of the cannon it held in its arm. "Hah! Let's see what you do n-!"
He was silenced as the Fortress swung its arm and slammed him against the side of a building.
Bumblebee, who was nearby, being repaired by Ratchet, snickered. "That shut him up."
"There," Ratchet muttered as he stood up. "It's not perfect but you can walk now."
"Thanks," Bumblebee responded as he stood and tested his legs.
Motormaster growled as he stood up. "This annoying human is getting in the way. Stunticons, assemble!"
Dead End, Breakdown, Wildrider, and Dragstrip immediately ran towards Motormaster as their bodies shift and changed. Motormaster formed a limbless torso, Dragstrip formed a right arm that attached to the torso, Breakdown formed a right leg, Wildrider formed a left leg, and Dead End form a left arm. The head of the combined robot appeared as it stood at its full height, twelve meters, and prepared to face off against the Fortress. "Menasor will destroy you!" he shouted as he charged at the nineteen meter tall Mobile Suit.
"Oh? You think you can fight me now li'l guy?" the pilot of the Fortress taunted.
Menasor sent a punch flying at the Fortress that caused it to slide back several meters and slightly dented the chest.
"Okay, I'll admit that that was a good hit," the pilot muttered. "You dented my new toy," she added in annoyance.
"And I'll break the rest of it!" Menasor growled.
"I doubt that LEGO Bot!" The Fortress raised all four of its cannons and aimed them at Menasor.
"That doesn't look good for him," Kazuma muttered.
Menasor ducked to the side as all four cannons fired blasts of energy towards him, all missing.
"Crap!" the Fortress' pilot snarled. "SO not good!"
Kazuma narrowed his eyes in thought. 'Cannons like that probable need to cool after each shot. And she fired all four…' "Guys! Take that giant 'Con's attention off her!"
Menasor prepared to punch the Fortress but the grappling hooks from Gilliam's Sutherland wrapped around his wrist. "What?"
Gilliam smirked lightly. "Let's try this, shall we?" He swiftly retracted the hooks, pulling Menasor to the side and knocking him off balance.
"Slagging pest!" Menasor growled before slamming his foot down and pulling on the cables, sending Gilliam slamming into the Fortress.
Ironhide and Scattershot charged at Menasor, Ironhide firing his Neutron Assault Rifle whilst Scattershot fired his Scrapmaker.
Menasor growled as he turned to the two, equipping a Nucleon Shock Cannon and an Ion Displacer.
"Oh, that's not good," Ironhide grumbled as Menasor's Ion Displacer spun up.
Menasor fired a hailstorm of shots at the two.
Ironhide grumbled as one hit his arm, but most of them sailed past the group and chewed through a group of Britannian Sutherlands that had shown up to the battle.
Menasor turned as Cliffjumper and Hot Shot charged towards and fired his Nucleon Shock Cannon.
The two stopped and jumped to the side just as the rocket hit, causing a powerful explosion.
In the cockpit of the Fortress, the pilot smirked as the command console beeped several times. "Looks like it's time to party."
Menasor turned to the side as the Fortress' cannons charged up. "Hu-?" he muttered right before the cannons fired, tearing through his shields and armor, blowing the massive Decepticon into pieces.
"Wow," Kazuma muttered in shock before he turned as Optimus slammed into a wall.
Megatron walked towards Optimus, flexing his fingers disinterestedly. "Come now, Optimus. This is no fun. I've been trapped in that ice for so long, I wanted to a have a little fun once I got free, but you're putting up no resistance. I don't even have my shields anymore and you still can't touch me. Has time made you soft? It must have. Because I don't remember you being this weak."
Optimus panted in exhaustion. "I am not done yet, Megatron. It's just you and me, Megatron."
"No, it's just ME Prime!" Megatron taunted as he readied his Fusion Cannon.
Optimus cupped his hands together and turned to the side swiftly, slamming his balled fists into Megatron's chest, sending the Decepticon leader flying back. "At the end of this day, one shall stand, and one shall fall."
Megatron kicked up as Optimus approached, slamming his feet into Optimus' abdomen. "You still fight for the weak, Prime, that is why you lose!"
"Optimus!" Kazuma shouted as Megatron ran towards Optimus.
However, Megatron stepped on Optimus and ran towards Menasor's corpse, tearing off the defeated Decepticon's shield generator and placing it on his back before his own shields regenerated.
"Oh, that's not good."
Megatron smirked and raised his Fusion Cannon before firing it at Optimus. "Why do you fight so hard for these humans, Prime!?"
Optimus raised a chunk of concrete to block the blast, getting knocked down by the shock wave. "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings! And I will defend that right from everyone, even you, Megatron!"
Megatron charged at Optimus and punched him in the face before holding him down. "They don't deserve to live!"
Optimus punched Megatron in the side of the head, knocking him off. "They deserve to choose for themselves!"
"Then you will deactivate with them!" Megatron grabbed Optimus and threw him before readying his Fusion Cannon. "Join them in extinction!" He then fired a blast, sending Optimus sailing back.
Optimus groaned as he stood up. "This has to end now…"
Megatron approached him and readied his cannon. "You're right. It does."
"Oi Megy!" Kazuma shouted.
"No, Kazuma! Stay away!" Optimus urged as Megatron turned.
Kazuma ran at Megatron, jumped off from a piece of masonry, and slammed the Allspark against his chest.
"Wh-what?! NNNOOO!" Megatron howled as the Allspark burned a hole in his chest as it began fusing with his spark before exploding outwards violently, the explosion sending Kazuma flying.
"Kazuma!" Excellen screamed desperately.
Starscream narrowed his eyes as Megatron slumped to the ground. "Decepticons! Megatron is deactivated! All units retreat!"
"We must collect his corpse," Soundwave urged.
At that moment, nine Flags flew towards the area.
"Unless you want to get blown apart, go!" Starscream shouted.
Soundwave remained silent for a moment. "…Ground Bridge activated."
A Ground Bridge portal opened in front of the Decepticons, the others entering as Starscream tossed Ramjet and Dirge's headless bodies into it before going inside right before the portal closed.
As the Decepticons vanished, Excellen ran to Kazuma, lying on the ground, immobile, and crouched down next to him. "Kazuma! Kazuma!"
Kazuma groaned before opening his eyes weakly and looking around. "D-did I get him?"
Excellen smiled in relief and nodded. "Yeah…you got him…"
"Urgh…everything hurts right now… so. Very. Much. I can't even be witty it hurts so bad." He glanced to the side as Cornelia walked up to the two of them. "Ah great…" he muttered in frustration.
"That was a brave, and foolish, deed you performed," Cornelia said with backhanded praise as she walked up to them.
"Uh…thanks? And uh…sorry 'bout the prototype it, uh, blew up. I'm not gonna get arrested for that am I?"
Cornelia blinked and then smirked. "Consider it a field test. Accidents happen."
Kazuma sighed heavily in relief. "Oh thank you oh so beautiful badass. I did not need any more bad things today. Though, that look in your eye says you're going to add something."
Cornelia's expression flattened as she nodded. "Yes. Your skill with that Knightmare was quite impressive. It takes many years for most to reach that level of skill."
Kazuma blinked in though. "Huh? It does? Huh. I just did what felt right."
Cornelia raised an eyebrow. 'That was pure instinct?'
"It was kinda cool to. Though weird. I mean, I only saw Knightmare controls on the web and from junked Glasgows and they are all outdated."
Cornelia narrowed her eyes in thought. "I see. Well I commend you for your aid. I will see to it that both your and your girlfriend's injuries are taken care of."
Excellen and Kazuma looked away from each other with a light blush.
Kazuma then looked at Cornelia and nodded. "Thanks. But I get the feeling that's not all."
Cornelia nodded. "No, it's not. But the rest can wait until you are healed."
Kazuma sighed. "Thanks." He glanced to the side as Tony and Pepper walked up to the group. "And here comes Tony Stark. The guy with an ego as big as the Moon."
Tony cleared his throat. "That's 'An ego as big as the sun' thank you."
"The sun is nothing but a ball of gas. If you condensed it all it'd be a quarter the size of Texas."
Tony smirked. "Oh-hoh, a smartass."
"That's what some people call me. And I'm in too much pain to bother arguing."
Tony shrugged as he looked around the destroyed city. "That was good stuff, using that prototype like a pro. Almost as impressive as me."
"Really? Didn't think playboy billionaires drive Knightmares. They tend to drive Ferraris."
Tony laughed sarcastically. "I could if I wanted. I just choose not to."
"That's enough for now," Cornelia interjected. "You two can hash it out once Kazuma's been in the hospital."
Kazuma flinched slightly with a reddened face. 'Sh-she used my first name…' He then sighed and asked, "Right. Can uh…someone help me? Kinda hard to walk properly."
Cornelia nodded and slung his arm over her shoulder and helped him stand, though seemingly not noticing his face pressing against her voluptuous chest.
Tony huffed lightly. "…Lucky…"
Pepper groaned in annoyance. "Come on, we have to get out of here. We don't want to be here when the reporters get here."
Tony turned to her. "I do. There might be a few pretty ones."
"No. Now let's go."
Tony sported a faux pout.
"Now."
"Yes, Mom."
Sometime later, Kazuma groaned slightly before looking around at the room he was in. A large, sterilized hospital room covered in top-to-bottom with white. White floors, walls, and ceiling, white beds, white curtains, and so on. With a sigh he muttered, "All this white is making me uncomfortable…there's no color to it…why don't they make the place just a little colorful. As it is now, it might as well be a morgue with how lifeless the room is. And the food sucks. I thought Britannians had cheeseburgers and cheese fries and all."
"I'll be sure to let the chefs know," Cornelia said as she stood in the doorway to the room with a small smirk.
"P-Princess!" Kazuma said in surprise as he tried to sit up, flinching slightly in pain.
"No need to sit up for me, you can stay there," Cornelia said as she walked over to his bed.
"Okay. So what are you up to, Cor?"
Cornelia raised an eyebrow. "Cor? Hmm…I like it. Although, officially, I'm not here."
"And unofficially?"
Cornelia nodded. "I have an offer for you."
"Oh?"
"Your talent for using Knightmares is unprecedented, especially for someone with no preexisting training. I simply cannot let such talent go to waste. So I'm here to offer you a position as one of my personal knights. Naturally, you will need to attend the military academy first, but I will personally cover all related expenses."
Kazuma sat up in surprise. "R-really? No joke?" He then regretted it as pain shot through his body, though Cornelia slowly laid him back down and nodded.
"Yes, I am serious. With innate talent such as yours, refining it would make you an impeccable warrior."
Kazuma's eyes widened with excitement before he frowned slightly and glanced at Excellen on a bed nearby. "One condition."
Later, Kazuma, Chifuyu, Isa, Excellen, and Kai sat at one of the tables in the hospital cafeteria, conversing.
"WHAT!?" Chifuyu exclaimed in shock.
Kazuma winced slightly at her shout. "Jeez that's loud."
"You're going to the Britannian military academy!?"
Excellen smiled as she leaned close to him. "Not by himself. I'll be going with him."
Kazuma nodded. "Yeah. And it won't be until I graduate high school."
Chifuyu leaned over towards him and grabbed the collar of his shirt. "Are you insane!?"
Kazuma blinked in mild confusion. "Truthfully? No clue."
"Not only are you leaving the country, you're doing it to become a soldier!?"
"So? It's to make money to help you and Isa. That, and to make all my inventions without fear of someone stealing them."
"But…you're going to leave…so far away…?"
Kazuma smiled apologetically. "It's not like I won't be able to visit from time to time sis. And it won't be right away."
Chifuyu sighed in exhaustion. "You're really unbelievable, you know that?"
"And you aren't?"
Excellen hugged Kazuma from behind, pressing the back of his head into her cleavage. "Don't worry, Chi-Chan! I'll be with him!"
Chifuyu twitched an eyebrow. "That just makes it worse you pervert!"
"Oy!" Kazuma interjected. "Don't call my girlfriend a pervert, Sis."
Chifuyu remained silent in thought. "…G-girlfriend!?"
Kazuma raised an eyebrow. "Yeah. Why?"
"I don't approve!"
"H-huh? Why?"
"Sh-she's a bad influence!" Chifuyu argued weakly.
Before Kazuma could respond, a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent walked up to the group. "Are you the Orimura family?"
Kazuma froze before turning to the man slowly. "Whatever it is I didn't touch anything!"
"We have prepared a transport to take you back to Japan."
"Thank you," Chifuyu answered.
Later, Kazuma and the other made their way to an airbase where they saw a large transport jet ready to take them to Japan, and saw Bumblebee standing next to it.
Kazuma grinned. "Hey Bee! What's up?"
Bumblebee merely waved as Optimus and the other Autobots walked towards the group.
Kazuma looked around and asked, "Where's Jazz?"
Ratchet frowned. "His Spark was too damaged."
Kazuma sighed. "Sorry."
"It is not your burden to bear, Kazuma," Optimus corrected.
Kazuma nodded. "Still."
"I must thank you for your actions, Kazuma. Your deeds saved the lives of not only your entire race but my own as well."
Kazuma chuckled mirthlessly. "Heh. Least I could do seeing as you and the others helped keep my sisters and my girlfriend safe and alive."
Optimus nodded. "However, even though the Decepticons have been pushed back this time, they will return. As such, Bumblebee will remain as your guardian and-"
"Hold it!" Chifuyu interjected.
Optimus blinked in surprise.
"If you want to keep that walking insurance claim at my house, you're going to need to do more than just that."
Sideswipe shrugged and recommended, "I could be your personal guardian and transport if you like."
"And what possible benefit could there be over my current car?"
"Uhm…I don't require gasoline to function? Or maintenance."
Chifuyu's eyes lit up with yen signs.
"Cheap sister," Kazuma grumbled under his breath.
"What was that?" Chifuyu asked with an angry smirk.
"Uhh…chips sister? They got a lot of variety. Oh and I need to get a new blender for milkshakes."
Chifuyu smirked. "Good boy."
"Yeah…"
Later, as the group were on the transport, headed for home with Bumblebee and Sideswipe, Kazuma sat silently, deep in thought.
"Is something wrong, Kazuma?" Excellen asked.
Kazuma winced from his thoughts and turned to her. "Hmm? Oh. Just wondering who the woman that was piloting that suit was."
Excellen flinched and laughed weakly. "Y-yeah…I wonder…"
"She sounded beautiful and badass."
Kai chuckled slightly. "Don't you think it's a little rude to praise another woman like that in front of your new girlfriend?"
Kazuma shrugged. "She knows I love her. Besides, you should have heard her plans for us when we were in the hospital."
"Oh?" Kai asked curiously.
Excellen grinned. "Yup! The Kazu/Exe Harem Formation Plan!"
Kai blinked in thought and then laughed loudly. "That's one heck of a plan!"
Chifuyu gained a tic mark on her forehead. "I knew it! You really are trying to turn my brother into a pervert!"
"Can't turn what already is, Sis," Kazuma said plainly.
Chifuyu wacked him on the head. "Stay out of this!"
Kazuma rubbed his head in pain. "But it's ABOUT me…seriously Sis. Why do you beat on me so much? I did just get out of the hospital after all."
Sometime later, Kazuma and the others returned to their home, with Sideswipe and Bumblebee driving them there, and walked up to the front door.
Kazuma sighed in relief. "It's good to be back home. No explosions that aren't mine. No getting shot at. And no more surpri-" Kazuma halted as he opened the door and saw Manami sitting in the entryway of their home, "ses…"
Manami stood up and turned to the group. "Well, about time you got back. I hope you have an explanation for all that."
"Uhh…all what?"
Manami stepped right in front of him. "I'm not stupid, Kazuma. I live right across the street. I saw those weird trucks pull up in front of your house, I saw those suits show up, AND I saw them take you away! So. What. Happened!?"
Kazuma gulped. "Uhh…shooting a new Men in Black movie?"
Manami grumbled in annoyance. "Do you REALLY think I'd believe that? Those weren't just any suits, those were S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents. So why were they here?"
"Wel-" Kazuma began but stopped, "wait, how do you know 'bout S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Manami flicked his forehead. "Because, dumdum, I'm trying to join them. I already have a supervisor who's trying to see if I'm cut out for it."
Kazuma gaped. "You're trying to join those Psychos?!"
Manami grumbled. "Yeah! That a problem!?" She then slapped his shoulder.
"Gah!" Kazuma shouted in pain.
Manami flinched in surprise. "H-hey, you alright?" She then looked around noticed the others were in similar battered states. "What happened to you guys? You're all beat up."
Kazuma sighed heavily. "Wh-what happened? We got abducted by Doucheson, got freed by our Alien Robot friends. Then got chased by custom Gespensts. Ended up in Britannia where we met the sexy Cornelia, a pettanko hacker and a sexy scientist. Ended up at a S.H.I.E.L.D. base. Got caught in an alien robot battle royale. I stole the new Gloucester and kicked ass and nearly died killing the bad guy leader. THAT'S what happened!"
Chifuyu put a hand on his shoulder with an unnerving smile. "Kazuma…that was all supposed to be a secret…"
"Sis. She's trying to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent and saw the 'Bots already. So what's the point in lying? Now. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna buy stuff using the dick's VISA."
Manami looked at the card in his hand and gaped. "Wait, you stole a S.H.I.E.L.D. credit card!?"
Kazuma nodded nonchalantly. "Yup. Stole an ID too but that's useless now."
Manami instantly swiped it from his hand. "You moron! Do you even realize what you've done!?"
"Delivered Karmic Retribution unto an asshole and getting us a plasma TV and blender."
"No!" Manami shouted vehemently. "I can't allow you to do this! It breaks so many laws that it makes my head spin!" She then stuffed the card in between her breasts.
"You think putting that in your cleavage will stop me from getting free stuff for nearly dying and getting Britannian Princess boob in my face?"
Manami twitched an eyebrow and curled away from him slightly. "If you even think of touching me I'll-"
She was interrupted as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Isa said happily before running to the door.
As the door opened, a woman with long, waist-length, wavy blonde hair, blue eyes, a beauty mark under the left side of her bright pink lips, and a very large bust that was hardly contained by her pink and black tank top, along with extremely short jeans shorts with frayed ends, tall cowboy boots, and a wide-brimmed hat atop her head stood in the doorway and waved to the group. "Hey there."
"Whoa…" Kazuma muttered as he looked at the woman. "So…hot…" He then raised an eyebrow in thought. "Wait, that voice…you're the babe that piloted that suit!"
The woman chuckled and winked. "Bingo. The name's Janis Alectos Carotenas Karinato Browning. But you can just call me JACK. Or Janis."
Kazuma nodded. "Nice to me- wait, BROWNING?!"
"That was loud," Chifuyu muttered.
Janis smirked. "Yup. Excellen's my little sister."
Kazuma gaped and turned to Excellen. "You never told me you had a sexy big sis!"
Janis folded her arms under her impressive bust with a smirk. "So she hasn't told you about my twin sister Eda either?"
Kazuma gaped.
Janis walked up to Kazuma and put a hand on his chin and examined him curiously. "So, you're my little sister's beau, huh?"
Kazuma blushed slightly. "Y-yeah. And you're my future sister-in-law/possible candidate."
Janis turned to Excellen with a smirk. "So, have you taken it yet?"
Excellen flinched and blushed.
Janis smirked and leaned towards Kazuma, giving him a view down her blouse, before licking her lips. "Then maybe I should do the honors."
"No!" Excellen argued as she stepped between the two. "Kazu's virginity is mine!" She then paused as she realized what she said before her face turned bright red.
"Wow…" Kazuma muttered.
"J-JACK? Why are you here?" Manami asked in surprise.
Janis raised an eyebrow in though. "Oh right. Almost forgot." She then walked into the room and immediately stuffed her hand into Manami's blouse.
"W-wow," Kazuma muttered in shock.
Manami widened her eyes in shock. "H-hey…what are you…!?"
Janis began feeling around inside her blouse, causing Manami to shiver. She then smirked and squeezed Manami's chest, causing the brunette to moan loudly. "There it is," Janis said to herself as she pulled Coulson's card from Manami's blouse as the teen slumped to the floor. She then turned to Kazuma and the others. "Oh, and in case you're wondering, I'm Manami's supervisor." She smiled and waved before leaving.
Kazuma blinked and then turned to the trembling Manami. "Manami. Your supervisor is super sexy. And owes me free stuff."
Manami stood up weakly and stumbled out the door. "R-right…I'll tell her…bye…"
"Uh…bye…"
Several days later, Isa sat in front of the television when a newscast interrupted her show. She pouted and then tugged Chifuyu's sleeve. "Sis, look at the TV."
"Whats wrong?" Chifuyu asked as Kazuma and the others looked at the television as well.
The newscaster explained, "It's a message that's been received from space, sent in almost every language. 'I'm going to drop by.'"
Chifuyu sighed. "…Oh this can't be good…"
Kazuma turned to her and asked, "What do you think it means? Could it be more Autobots? Or Decepticons?"
Chifuyu twitched an eyebrow. "If it's more Decepticons, I'm directing them to Fury's front door."
Kai walked into the lounge carrying a large cooler and raised an eyebrow. "Hey, what are you all standing around here for?"
"Discussing the news," Kazuma explained as Excellen leaned on his shoulder.
"Don't you know? Today is the one hundredth anniversary of the Black Dragon's defeat."
"The what?"
Chifuyu raised both eyebrows disinterestedly. "Oh right. I forgot about that."
"Hey! Somebody tell me what he's talking about."
"Yay! Festival!" Isa cheered excitedly.
"HEY!"
"Alright, alright, no need to shout," Kai answered. "One hundred years ago, a massive black dragon appeared in the sky over the Capitol of Japan and began laying waste to the city. Almost immediately, another, mechanical, dragon appeared and defeated the Black Dragon. Even to this day nobody knows where either dragon came from or where they went. But it's because of that event that humanity in general learned of the existence of Youkai, Devils, and the like. Although, it wasn't until about four years ago that a treaty was signed between all the different groups. Things were…messy, until then."
Kazuma narrowed his eyes. "How messy?"
Kai frowned slightly. "Let's just say that the recent events with the Transformers isn't something new."
Kazuma sighed. "Ah. Great. I was so hoping that the message is something that Linda girl did then."
Linda then popped her head down from a ceiling tile. "Nope. Wasn't me."
"Uwah! What the hell!?"
"Wow. No need to yell."
Kazuma turned to Chifuyu, pointed at Linda, and demanded, "What's she doing here!?"
Linda explained, "Cornelia gave me a hacking job but didn't want me to live in good ol' Britannia while doing it. And thus asked Chifuyu if I can live with you guys."
"Huh!?"
Chifuyu blinked in thought. "Ah, I knew I was forgetting something."
"That's not something you just forget dammit!"
Chifuyu frowned in annoyance. "Is it really that big of a problem?"
"U-uh, w-well, no. Just making sure. Usually you're an anti-pervert."
Chifuyu raised an eyebrow. "Pervert? Who?"
Kazuma pointed up at Linda.
Chifuyu looked up at Linda in annoyance.
Linda began to sweat lightly.
"Now, now, no need to fight," Kai interjected before handing Kazuma a piece of paper. "Kazuma, why don't you go and grab some drinks for the party?"
Kazuma looked at the paper curiously and nodded. "Okay. And no touching my lab Linda!"
Linda pouted as he left.
Kazuma walked down a sidewalk carrying several large bags full of canned drinks and grumbled. "That asshole, he didn't tell me all I'd be getting is friggin' beer. Not a single bit of soda or lemonade or anything."
As Kazuma made his way up a short set of stairs, Kai, now clad in a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses, waved to him. "Hey! Kazuma, took you long enou-!"
"Shut it Kai!" Kazuma interrupted, perturbed. "Why didn't you tell me I was getting fricken' beer!?"
Kai grinned. "Come on! What else do you drink at a celebration!? Pop a can open and have one!"
"I'm a minor you idiot! I'm not allowed!"
"You're no fun," Kai grumbled as he opened a can. "Hey, how's that little harem plan of Excellen's coming along?"
Kazuma sighed. "So far just her. And she keeps me out of the loop."
Kai hummed in thought and then pointed nearby. "What about her? She's got a nice figure, a cute face, and look at those ears."
Kazuma turned and saw a girl with long, hip-length, light brown hair with straight-cut bangs, two fringes hanging down, framing her face and falling over her sizable bosom, red-brown eyes with a naïve gleam to them, as well a pair of cat-like ears atop her head and a cat tail at the base of her spine, wearing a skintight red leotard with white around her upper back and breasts, red sleeves extending all the way down to her hands as gloves, thigh-high white boots and multiple green panels, and a golden bell with a blue choker around her neck.
Kazuma looked over the girl curiously. "Yeah…but she's a complete and utter stranger to me. And she might already have a boyfriend. That, and she doesn't look like any of the native Nekomata in the area, meaning she's probably a tourist."
"So?" Kai asked as the two approached her. "Hey there, little lady, what's your name?"
The girl turned to them curiously and smiled. "Hmm? Oh, it's Eris." She then pointed to a plate of food in her hand. "This dish is so wonderful, what is it called?"
Kazuma nodded and answered, "Oh, it's called takoyaki."
Eris smiled widely and exclaimed, "Well it's the cat's meow! I'm so hungry, I forgot to pack any food on my ship, so when I landed I was absolutely starving. But a nice cat named Arun told me about a festival going on nearby with lots of food! And it's all so yummy!"
Kazuma raised an eyebrow. "Arun? Hey…isn't that the cat Isa had? And you traveled by ship and forgot to pack food? It takes a day or two to get here from Britannia. Or China but you don't look like you're from China. You must not plan ahead much."
Eris stuck out her tongue with a weak smile. "Yeah, I know, it was rather silly."
Kai then poured some beer into Eris' cup. "Here, have some."
Eris smiled appreciatively at him. "Why thank you, sir."
"Oh no you don't, Kai!" Kazuma interjected before taking the drink from Eris. He then turned to Eris. "I'm sorry, but you look underage, so I can't let you have this."
She stood up and shook her head. "I don't mind. I don't think I got your name."
Kazuma stiffened and then bowed. "Oh, right, it's Kazuma Soryu." He then looked ahead from his bowed position and realize he was inches away from her ample bust. He stood up straight and backed away, looking around nervously before taking a sip from the drink in his hand. He flinched in surprise. 'W-wait…this is…beer…'
"Wow…" Kai muttered as Kazuma collapsed.
Sometime later, Kazuma groaned as he woke up and looked around, realizing he was in his bedroom. "What happened…? There was the festival…Kai gave that girl some beer…and then I drank it! I got knocked out by a sip of beer!" He put a hand over his face in shame. "I'm pathetic…" He then rolled over in his bed, his hand flopping to the side on something soft. He blinked curiously and squeezed. He then watched as a light brown cat-like tail popped out from the comforter. He paled. "Please no…" He slowly reached for the blanket and pulled it off to see Eris sleeping happily, clad in nothing more than one of Kazuma's white, button-down shirts, which was unbuttoned, giving him an eyeful of her body. "Gah!" he gasped in shock as he fell from the bed.
Eris woke up slowly and sat up before stretching, unwittingly exposing more of her form to Kazuma's eyes. "Ah! I've hadn't such a wonderful cat nap in a long time!"
Kazuma, his face alight with a bright blush, asked, "Wh-what are you doing here!?"
Eris turned to him with an innocent smile. "Hm? Your Uncle invited me."
"I figured that much out! Why are you in my room?"
Eris smiled happily. "He said I could sleep wherever I liked and you looked so warm and comfy."
Kazuma twitched an eyebrow. "…This is all Excellen's doing…isn't it…?"
Eris blinked and tilted her head cutely. "Who?"
Kazuma blushed further. "…Cute…" He then flinched and put a hand over his head in mild discomfort.
"Oh no! Did you hurt your cranium?" She ran over to him as an orange, holographic device with multiple moving parts appeared over her left arm before placing it over his head and scanned it swiftly. "Oh no, you did. Well, don't worry…" A small series of energy bursts shot from her device to his head. "…There. All better."
Kazuma blinked and patted his head. "Huh. Th-thanks, it doesn't hurt anymore." He then looked at the device on her arm and asked, "What…is that thing…?"
She looked at it curiously and explained, "Huh? Its just a Omni-Tool."
Kazuma raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Omni-Tool?"
Eris nodded. "Yes. It's standard in Citadel Council Space."
Kazuma looked at her puzzled. "What the hell is that…?"
"The Citadel Council is the ruling governmental body that decides, enacts, and enforces all laws within the Milky Way galaxy."
"Riiight," Kazuma answered in disbelief.
"Hey! Kazuma, I'm coming in!" Manami shouted from downstairs.
"Ah crap!" Kazuma shouted in desperation, seeing the half-naked Eris still in his room.
And that is a wrap. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the chapter. If you did be sure to post a review. Or post one even if you did not, just try to have a point. Or if you are confused or unsure about anything, as I will do what I can to assuage those concerns. That about does it, so until next time, buh-bye!
