This was a while since I wrote on this fic and I had to say that I am happy that I went back to this. I have been thinking about ideas and what I can add further on. For now, we're in Volume 3. Things are going to kick off a notch here.
Also, by the time I hope that I upload this, we've reached year two of this fic online. What started as a small idea turned out great. Thanks for the support I got over those two years. Damn, how fast time goes.
Ichika was walking back to his bedroom and felt like he was going to crash any minute now. It was bad enough that things went on for very long. He had landed next to the group as they saw the Masters. He could see that they were as well trained as the others were. It was a big mess and he was ready to crash down in his bed. Opening the door to his room, he spotted seven girls who were waiting for him.
He was too tired to know if they were either there to hurt him or to comfort him. In any case, he hoped they went easy on him.
"Ichika, what happened?" Houki asked him as he let out his breath that he had been holding in for so long. If this was the reaction, he was off the hook. "You don't know?" Ichika asked the girls who all shook their heads.
He yawned as his body just gave out. "I will tell you but not now. I am tired and I want to sleep." The girls took that as good enough so Ichika wobbled to his bed but his body decided that its limit was reached and he would have collapsed if seven pairs of arms didn't capture him. Seeing their Knight asleep, they carried Ichika to his bed as they all moved around his body to sleep. They had waited until their boy came home.
As for the ending, they all had a long story to tell but everyone on Guam required food, water and a lot of rest. But everyone had seen what happened there.
Six hours before.
"So that' s an Entrance." The group could now look at it safely as they were now done with fighting. It looked like a view projected on water.
"That's the thing that brought us and the ISA here?" Ichika wondered aloud on Kizuna's question. "I can't believe we can look at it like this. So calm without fear."
Hayuru looked a bit in admiration. For the two male Pilots, they wondered if this was their key to their home.
But for now, they couldn't test it out as there were cables pulled out that was connected to a lot of technical equipment. Joel would have balked on the quality of the machines. It was nowhere near the standards he used.
Like with everything in life, without decent quality, you can't do decent work. And even if Mattheus wasn't that big of a tech wizard like his little brother, he had learned to get decent hardware.
"We can go through this to the AU?" Aine had her eyebrows knitted.
"If we know what's behind it at least?" Ichika spoke up. "We should ask Shikina for more information." There was a tent set up and inside Kei was working at the machines. She looked up as the group got closer to her.
"Shikina-san. Will the AU really not be able to enter the world with this?"
She used her machines to speak for her. {We don't know. This is the first experiment.} Mattheus wondered briefly if they were idiots. This could go real bad real fast.
They could return but if this worked out, this could be a key to stop the invasion. He knew that with everyone included here but Mattheus thought about it. It took them fifteen years to get actively working towards. What have they been doing in those years?
"And the theory and blueprint of this sealing system? That is the true shape of the mystery radio wave that brought us here."
{Correct. The mysterious radio wave that was the cause of our coming in Guam was something sent by Megafloat West USA. The sealing system was analyzed in West USA, but performing that with just one country is extremely difficult. And so they intended to cooperate with the surrounding Megafloats and sent that radio wave.}. Aine's question was answered by Kei and Mattheus whistled on that.
"I see. It was a false alarm." Hayuru sighed and Mattheus shook his head. "On the contrary. They played us all like fiddles. We were lucky to get backup given how bad things went." The group was shocked to hear that as Mattheus ignored the looks. He had been doing this a little bit longer given his history with the Hackers and he had learned to think on his feet.
{Mattheus is right. This wasn't done by our world. It took us time to look this up. It would have been great if we could understand what it was.}
"So we have the West USA here and we have figured out that those AU can send messages to us by using our own technology and hacking into it?" Ichika spoke up and Kizuna was happy things were resolved.
"In the end, we have survived. And for now, we just have to wait and see."
"So you're sure that this communication device in the Air Force base has been taken over," Aine remembered that bit before everything came crashing down.
"It doesn't matter now." The silverette spoke again and the group was ready to relax until they heard the sound of an HHG landing.
"You guys must be the Amaterasu members, right?" The girl was a redhead, tied up in a ponytail. Maybe two tears younger than Kizuna. She had a sort of cheerful and bright aura around her.
"Yes, we are. And you might be?" With a pleasant smile, she pointed a thumb at herself.
"I am the leader of the Masters, Scarlet Fairchild. I am happy to meet my counterparts."
"Nice to meet you." The group introduced them to the girls as handshakes went around. Mattheus offered a fist bump and she returned it.
"Is this all of you? I haven't seen you guys before and wasn't there another one?" Scarlet asked and Mattheus remembered that Yurishia went back to Ataraxia. Speaking about her, it looked like the blond had returned.
"Nice timing," Kizuna said as Yurishia landed next to her. No one missed the tension in Scarlet as she looked at the girl.
"Yurishia, this is the Masters."
"Scarlet." She blinked as the woman looked at the girl. "As I thought, it's you, Scarlet. It has been a while. So you became a formal member of the Masters."
"Right, you were in the Masters before you came to us. Guess you know her." In a brief moment, Mattheus wondered if this world was inhabited by idiots and how they managed to survive till now. And like Mattheus, Ichika thought the same as they shared a look.
Kizuna laughed wryly and scratched his head.
"How embarrassing. The walking shame of Japan."
"Hey, Aine. You don't have to say that."
"I guess so. Please be careful of doing anything perverted. It's going to become an international incident if that happens." Hayuru pipped and Mattheus bit back a laugh.
"Like you're one to talk. Or did you forget it was your behavior that got us in this mess?" Hayuru looked embarrassed as the two guys came to their friend's rescue.
"Is something wrong?" Yurishia asked and Scarlet looked at her like she was a ghost.
"Yurishia?" Scarlet asked while she was trembling.
"Did you forget my face?" Yurishia asked and when she approached, Scarlet stepped back. "Oh wait."
Yurishia showed to be a bit anxieties. "Scarlet what's wrong?"
Scarlet looked her with a pale face and her lips trembled. "Why are you still alive?"
The ace of the Masters looked at the former one in a way that was more like scared. It caught all the attention of the group.
Yurishia walked over to her with a more troubled look.
"What are you saying? I don't remember that I died." Yurishia tried to put her hand on the shoulder of her old friend. Scarlet, on the other hand, moved back so that the hand of Yurishia was out in the air.
"Scarlet. Why did you think I died?"
Mattheus noted that her shoulders jumped on that. She had to be on edge.
"Because your Gear, Yurishia, Cross it is. In exchange for the Gear's Capability, it gets shaven."
"I don't get what you're talking about. Speak properly so that I can understand." Patience worn thin, Yurishia spoke up. That resulted that Scarlet also stop speaking civilized.
"I told you. The source of Cross's Energy. That is your life force?!" Yurishia stiffened on that and Kizuna cursed inwardly.
"It moves by using your life as energy so that's why Cross is special. That's why it is so powerful."
Aine, Himekawa, Kei, Mattheus and Ichika looked at her in shock.
{Leave the idiotic gossip there.}.
They heard a voice through a speaker and a helicopter landed. Those from Ataraxia recognized as one of their helicopters. The door opened and Reiri Hida had landed on the place. And her expression did not bode well for those around them.
"So, why are you taking me to this place?" Scarlet was pretty fed up with the treatment as she looked at their surroundings with dissatisfaction. In all honesty, the others shared that sentiment as it was late enough and most wanted to go home and sleep.
They were in their suits as they were locked up in Kei's spacious research room. In accordance to the fact they were still in their suits, the bodies that were on the lookout were something that came from a boy's best dream.
Kizuna avoided the whole issue where to look as he and Ichika mindlessly played rock paper scissors. Mattheus in the meanwhile had beforehand explained to Scarlet who they were and how they ended up here.
Like a true American, she didn't buy one word of his tale and Mattheus decided to leave it at it. He had bigger fish to fry. Namely fighting against the need of shouting to someone.
Reiri could be unreasonable but if nothing would clear up why they were here, Mattheus would take the principle that the only one who could order him around like that, was a man and Reiri would receive the brunt of it.
The others were feeling that Reiri was now going out her way. She entered the room.
"You're Scarlet of the Masters, right? I'm the commander of Ataraxia, Hida Reiri.."
"The seventh flying corps of Megafloat West USA, Masters. I'm the leader Scarlet Fairchild."
Scarlet looked up to Reiri with a bit of haughty attitude. She was a bit lower than the aforementioned commander. She was around 160 cm. Her body that was wrapped in the conspicuous pilot suit looked well trained even seeing from outside. The slender and tightly flexible body gave off the impression like a steel spring. Her red ponytail shook on her back. She threw out her chest haughtily but its volume was slightly small.
"So Ataraxia commander-san. What in the world is this treatment? You have a reason to explain properly why are we being kept here." The group looked at Scarlet like she had grown a second head but Mattheus had an idea that he knew two people who would like that girl.
"Hold on you. You can't talk to the commander like that. That is too rude."
Reiri raised her hand to stop Hayuru and let Scarlet speak. "Himekawa, I don't mind. Rather than that, this is the continuance of the story. I'm asking you to come here, is about Yurishia's survival. I'm thinking of teaching you the answer."
Reiri's word changed Scarlet's eye color.
"I want to hear that by any means then. Just what in the world happened?"
"Wait. Just wait. Scarlet and you too commander."
As if unable to endure it, Yurishia raised both her hands in an attempt to stop the two.
"Why has the talk of something with my death as a premise. I can't understand it at all. Or what are we? Zombies."
Scarlet shot a glare at Yurishia.
I told you. Cross's energy source is a human life right?! Yurishia HHG should have hit zero ago. Or did you hide all this time without a fight?"
"There's no way that's true." Yurishia looked irritated and Mattheus looked at the group, happy that he got 'just' an Infinite Stratos. Everyone turned to Reiri who had to speak.
"The information about Cross using human life as energy is a false rumor. It doesn't have any basis as truth"
'Nee-chan, why are you keeping this up? We both know that is not true.' Kizuna's face flickered to that and he was glad he didn't open his mouth.
"That's a lie! There's no way that's true. I heard that rumor from above. Besides, this hastiness is strange no matter how you see it."
Scarlet snapped at Reiri causing her to speak coldly and Ichika had now the evidence that he and Chifuyu's counterparts were Kizuna and Reiri. There was no other way how you could look at it. He was sure that before him, was his older sister.
"Do you think we will be happy if someone spreads suspicious rumors without basis? Just what are you scheming, planting needless terror and doubt in the students and civilians?"
The pressure they felt was overwhelming and Mattheus shared a look with Ichika who nodded. Chifuyu 2.0. No contest.
The words were cold and harsh as well.
Scarlet faltered from the intensity that they all felt but it was directed at her so she felt the brunt.
"I am not scheming anything at all."
"What are you doing is the same as terrorism. You are intentionally spreading rumors that lead astray the hearts of people and caused a bad influence on the public order of the Megafloat. If you are trying to speak of that matter once more, we will prepare to formally protest at the government of America."
"Eh come on. Stop that. I'm not really trying to spread rumors here." Reiri crossed her arms and stayed quiet and it was clear that the discussion was over.
"Because even the newspaper of West USA had written that Yurishia had died. It was a real hot topic." Reiri glared at Scarlet and the girl shut up.
"Even I heard that rumor from somewhere. Yurishia is alive so even an idiot would know that mistake." After that was settled, it was like she spat.
"That's disappointing." There was some doubt in the group.
"Disappointing?" They were fought in the past together. Wouldn't Scarlet by happy that Yurishia was still breathing?
"You haven't forgotten of what did to us, have you? I won't forget. I won't forgive. I won't recognize Yurishia Farandole. Did you hear me? Fake hero." Scarlet didn't look like she was happy to reunite with an old friend.
From what the most could guess, she looked at someone who did Scarlet a horrible wrong.
Yurishia knitted her eyebrows. Her eyes weren't looking like Scarlet. Was that regret in her eyes?
"I don't think it's possible but, are you thinking that even now you are the ace of America? You are treated as dead in our place, so that's the same as being nothing. There is no problem at all even without you in Masters, or perhaps I should say, there is no place for you to return after all this time."
"Is that so? I understand." The nod wasn't really unaffected.
"What?" Mattheus and Ichika both moved away from ground zero. Scarlet looked like she was going to blow a fuse.
"What is wrong with you? You aren't angry at me after I said this. Where is your pride? Your honor?"
Yurishia did a better job on the anger that Scarlet had for her.
"Not really. You can say what you like."
"Yurishia. I will ask you once more. Why did you do something like that?"
Ichika saw the difference between them and did not like one bit. Scarlet was red hot with fury while Yurishia shook it off with some calmness that was rather cold.
"Something like that?" Scarlet eyes went upward and with a move that made Ichika think that this girl would like the others of HIS group.
She moved in a fast fashion to Yurishia.
"Don't play dumb. Because of your fault I."
Yurishia sighed as she dismissed Scarlet and the others around her.
"Scarlet, do you mind if I speak frankly."
"Sure, I'm asking you to speak since forever. So hurry it up."
"I don't get what it is that made you so irritated." Mattheus was right that this lit a fuse.
Scarlet's right hand came flying right at Yurishia's cheek and would have made contact with her if that hand wasn't stopped.
Yurishia had captured the wrist of Scarlet.
Scarlet glared at Yurishia with eyes that carried a lot of hate. Yurishia, on the other hand, was calm but there was nothing that showed her normal behavior. Everyone now, Aine, Kizuna, Hayuru, Mattheus and Ichika moved away from the scene that could become ground zero.
Scarlet shook her hand off and turned her back. Walking outside the room which caused the rest of the group to look in shock.
Kizuna wanted to speak up but found two hands crushing his shoulders. Those hands belonged to Mattheus and Ichika. With a few signals, Kizuna got the memo and shut up. Yurishia walked out of the room and the group looked in silence.
'I don't understand' Kizuna thought. One thing was for sure. Something in the past caused that rift between them.
Ignoring the mood, Reiri had a voice that confirmed once again that she was this universe Chifuyu's Orimura.
"The talk is over. You guys are dismissed." The group was happy enough to leave. Kizuna shared a look with his sister. She had told him that he had to keep quiet about the dangers that carried the ones who used this series of HHG. He hadn't even told Ichika or Mattheus about it because he was sure they would be pissed about it.
So he left the room and was ready to crash down and sleep like a dead man.
The next morning.
The group of the Infinite Stratos sat on the breakfast table. Well. Sat wouldn't be the right term. It was more a contest of those who were the most broken as they laid on the table, broken in body and most likely in mind.
Ichika and Mattheus or the girls who all looked broken before. After Ichika had eaten enough, he looked at the girls and he sat up.
"So what broke you girls?" He asked in a calm voice while he wished nothing more to sleep in his bed. Kizuna wasn't around so they kept to themselves. There was also nothing that the girls could do so the most of them thought of either sleeping in the day or just taking it easy.
The girls looked at him and all of them assembled some semblance of dignity.
"Your sister. If we want to help you out, we need to be at a level that passes both Orimura-sensei and Commander Hida standards. Which is why we're all so broke." Charlotte said and Mattheus looked around.
There were a few missing. Houki who picked it up looked at the older guy. "Joel and Fairs-san are both sleeping. They're okay but they are just tired. They also joined in." Mattheus could only raise an eyebrow after he downed his fourth cup of coffee. Like the others, he wanted to either sleep or lay in bed all day.
"Natasha, I get but why Joel?"
"Because Joel has been working nonstop at our machines and last night drained him. Fairs-sensei took him with her so they're going to be at their room." Laura answered and Mattheus could only blow air out his mouth. He had hoped to spend a long day with his girl but that was blown off yesterday.
"So that's why. And you know why we are zombies." Ichika said as he wanted nothing more than to crawl in bed.
"I think I'm going to sleep again." Mattheus shook his head. It was past noon as the group was up and running.
"None of you ever did this sort of thing. So let me give you advice. Take it easy, Ichika. If you go to sleep now, you're going to be awake in the evening. Better sit this out and let's go bed later on." Mattheus said as he was feeling tired as well.
They took Mattheus' words as gospel and just sat down as they talked about the finer details. Later on, neither Ichika or Mattheus were summoned so they hung out the common areas until the girls all went for their errands. Charlotte and Laura hung around Ichika and took the boy with them as Mattheus moved to his own room. He could use some time off and alone.
When he ended up at his room, he heard some movement. A very nice surprise was covered underneath his blankets. One Natasha Fairs. The smile she had on her face was damn infectious so Mattheus felt his own lips going up as well. He looked in her eyes and she had to admit he looked stunning.
But because his legs were giving out, he swung himself in the chair and looked at the American Pilot that was his girl for nearly a year.
"Hello, Mattheus. How are you?" Mattheus just shrugged when he saw her. "How do I look?"
"Bad. You're really tired. I have seen and heard what all happened down on the line."
Mattheus was happy that Natasha understood how he felt. "Glad you do because believe me, even if I was in the mood for it, my body wouldn't allow it. Damn, I feel so fucking tired." Which was true. He had received soldier training from the Metal Claw and while those two months were filled with good memories, Mattheus had the idea that the training he received was the best sleeping pill on the market.
She walked up to him and held him close to her chest while ruffling through his hair. The Flemish man laid his head to her chest and tired as he was, tried to keep himself awake. He yawned when he felt the ministrations of his girlfriend who just took him up and guided him to his bed.
Both of them could use the sleeping in and would take that over having sex so she wrapped her arms around him and the two fell in asleep. If he wasn't so damn tired, they could sleep on a couch but now, Mattheus wanted to refill his batteries. And if Natasha was honest, she could use it too.
Around the evening, Mattheus woke up to see Natasha was still in his bed. Glancing over the clock, it was around five pm so it meant that they better woke up now. Shaking the American Ace, they woke up and with a cute yawn, she looked up to the man.
"Good morning."
"It's actually evening. Come on. Let's pick up dinner and…" They both felt a weight on them and looked to Joel who had clung to their legs. One part on Mattheus, another at Natasha. Like he was some sort of cat who crawled in your bed, Joel had been sleeping next to them and neither Natasha nor Mattheus had the heart to wake him up. A little bit of guilt crept in them when both crashed in their bed.
But Joel wasn't a young, helpless boy. He was witty, smart as a whip and could take care of himself. To a certain degree of course. But at that point, Mattheus was never more happy to have Natasha around. That Joel had someone when Mattheus wasn't around.
She as well took care after Joel when Mattheus wasn't around. Sliding closer to him, she began to ruffle the hair of Joel. Both of them more than happy with the fact they could live one more day. Joel stirred in his sleep and when he whipped his eyes, he looked to his caretakers. Without saying a word, he had wrapped his arms around arond someone.
That in itself wasn't a surprise because Joel could be a cuddle bug when he liked someone enough but what was surprising that he chose Natasha over Mattheus. Not that he was outdone as he wrapped his arms around the two.
There wasn't a word said but they moved away from the bed. Natasha was first, taking her heels back on her shoes. Mattheus tied his sports shoes like Joel did his own. What Mattheus noticed was that Joel had worn his other outfit.
Instead of a shirt and short trousers, his were longer and he wore a sweater. Mattheus leaned down so Joel could sit in his neck. Locking an arm with Natasha, they walked away to get some dinner and in the hope that tomorrow would be better for them.
In the Infinite Stratos universe.
How Kerlongsj could hire an entire auditorium, hell, an entire hotel, Anaton would never know but the Hacker leader did so to get the battalion here. It also made sense. He could speak to the five hundred young men that were all gathered here. Each one of them was handpicked and had their training although most of them had excelled in any sort of training.
They weren't just top hackers. No, that wouldn't be enough for this task. These guys needed to have extensive knowledge of weapons, medical treatment, language, and logistics. In other words, top soldiers. Luckily for Kerlongjs, they were the best of the best.
Diverse was another way to describe the group. Anaton walked through the group and he had picked up six different languages. English went without saying but Flemish was another one. Russian, Polish and other Eastern European languages were also spoken and some languages from Scandinavia.
The men waited there. They all had gotten an invite from whoever looked over them. For some, that was their CO, for others, that was their trainer. In a few cases, even their fathers or older brothers.
Suddenly, the lights popped on and all of them immediately stopped speaking.
Kerlongsj wasn't one to use theatrics as he walked to the stage and the Hackers looked at him without saying a word. They all moved to stand in attention to him.
"Good evening, boys. I suppose that you all know who and what I am. But although, you know that, I am still going to introduce myself. My name is Kerlongsj Orlejov, the current leader of the Hackers. The men you see flanking me are Anaton Orlejov, the upcoming leader and Jozek Janousek. Your officer. For those who are wondering, you have never been told why you were trained. Although, some might have an idea."
A soldier raised his hand. "You have a suggestion?" Kerlongsj said as it was also clear that he allowed the man to speak.
"Yes. I suppose it has something to do with the disappearance of the Infinite Stratos Academy, given the fact our training started three days and that we are now in Japan." Kerlongsj nodded.
"Good answer. Indeed, the ISA disappeared in the night. Now, one might wonder how a building on an artificial island disappears but that is not our concern. What our concern is that some might think that the Hackers are involved. Although we can say that we are innocent, we would shout in the desert. That's why some people involved in the ISA have asked me to investigate. You guys do not want to know the amount of bullshit that I had to go through. But there were those who wanted especially me and my organization to investigate this. So that's where you guys come in."
Another soldier raised his hand and Kerlongsj allowed the man to speak.
"With all due respect sir but is this is a personal matter to you or professional?"
Kerlongsj had foreseen this. While he kept a tight lid on his relationship with Chifuyu, rumors were impossible to stop. Yet no one had dared to ask him about it.
"If this was a personal matter, I would not have gone through the trouble of getting you all here. I would have gone out myself and not involve anyone else. But this is more than just me. This is involving you all. So get used to it."
The Hackers shut up and Kerlongsj began to speak.
"We are here and we will stay here until we figure out what happened to the school. For those who are wondering, you weren't chosen as a pack as I need individuals. You will be put in squads and from there on, you will choose your squad leaders. They will serve as underofficers towards Janousek. He is the one who gives you guys orders. I am also serving as an officer but this battalion is under his command. So he will be the one who will be giving orders. Anaton and I are not involved in this group. But do not worry, you will have plenty of time to get to know me. Now, we are not doing this alone."
The soldiers noticed that Kerlongsj behavior changed. While he did act a bit informal and even friendly, he made it very clear this operation asked for professionality. But now, they saw how serious he was.
"We will work with someone who we all know and have no real love for her. But guys for the love of God, keep your weapons and powers in check. If she makes our lives hell, we are all in a bad spot. The Hackers waited until they saw who walked in the auditorium.
She had purple hair, wore rabbit ears and wore a maid outfit. Behind her, a girl with silver hair and also in a maid outfit walked after her. Kerlongsj could swear several of those guys had a real liking of killing Tabane Shinonono but those guys would follow his orders.
"Gentlemen, these two women are Tabane Shinonono and her associate, Chloe Chronicle. Both of them have requested that I helped them with this. Tabane lacks the manpower to really investigate what happened. So like it or not, we are stuck with her until we figure out what the hell happened to the school. So for now, we will work with her. I do not want anyone acting out against her. Is that understood?"
The Hacker gave a murmur that Kerlongsj found enough. Anaton saw Tabane smirking evilly. "The same thing goes for you, Tabane. Act out of line towards my boys, and you will be met with harsh punishment. And I am not joking. We will start tomorrow. Those who need to take care of the ship, you know your job. The rest of you, talk with the others in this room. We are all in this together. I'll leave lieutenant Janousek to deal with the practical issues."
The Czechoslovakian took the stage and began to speak to them, well his, battalion. Kerlongsj moved away from the stage and behind the curtain. Looking over to his phone, the council could take care of the issues that the Hackers had. Janousek told the Hackers what would happen and Tabane had left. Good.
Kerlongsj didn't want to deal with her more than he had to. Anaton joined him. Unlike Kerlongsj, he was a bit winded. After all, this was the first big mission he had.
"What do you think kid?" Kerlongsj asked the younger boy. "Well, I think that the group is fine and Janousek is going to make one great leader. For now, Tabane is a big issue. Although I think this isn't normal, right bro?" Kerlongsj smiled at the hellboy and he nodded.
"Yes. This isn't a normal situation."
"I am just wondering. You really think about such a thing that there are parallel universes and that something plucked the ISA from this world?" Kerlongsj knew that Anaton did not believe it but the Flemish Devil had seen the research. He could believe something like that happened.
Kerlongsj walked with Anaton to his room. He had hired not only the auditorium but the hotel that host his guys until they could go over to the ship and look it over.
"Look, Kerlongsj. If that is true, it had to be something of extremely high power, right? I mean. Can even you pull that off?" Kerlongsj pondered about it for a second. It wasn't boasting or taking Kerlongsj for something higher.
Anaton had learned that Kerlongsj could do the impossible and beyond that.
"I don't know, kid. If I have the know-how, perhaps, I can. But I am not sure if I can."
Anaton smiled at him and walked up to his brother for a hug.
"Well, I know one thing. If that is true, we find a way to that universe, bring those girls home and kick the ass of everyone who will stop us." Simple like a kid would think.
Kerlongsj just wondered.
'Let's just hope that it will go that easy. Because if your ideas are correct, I don't know if even I can beat them.'
And we're done. Two years. Damn, time passes by too fast. Sorry, I took a while but things got busy. As for Kerlongsj, OC, he is pretty much the strongest thing on the Earth. And the thing I like about making an OP OC is that I can push limits in some way. Before you're wondering. He's more in the vein of Saitama but for those who know my works, you can have an idea what he is.
It's been years since I worked with him on center stage and if I keep this pace, it will take years. But that's beside the point.
This chapter isn't that great but I felt that getting more in it would cut in the way of some other things that I'll leave open for the next chapter. But this was to celebrate the two years on this fic. Awesome. And now, we are in for a third year and my fourth years on this site. Damn, what a time it is.
If you guys are interested, I will download a video tomorrow of the Division 2 private beta. Uncut play, no commentary.
Saluut.
