Author's note: Thanks for waiting! I'd just like to acknowledge that it's been a very long while (two years, I think) since I last updated. So, allow me to catch up on the story as a whole, okay?

As she mumbled to herself for a brief moment, Isuzu was still laying in bed. Fortunately, she finally awoke whilst letting out a loud yawn.

When she turned her head, she found that Patroklos was clothed, but without his upper garb. Not only was he shirtless, but this gave her plenty of time to visually ogle him.

"I guess we're even, right?" he asked.

"I believe so." Isuzu replied. "And I thought I'd have a terrible hangover this morning from all that ouzo and whiskey."

Patroklos chuckled, before sitting next to her and giving her a small but gentle kiss. "Let's get dressed, babe. Then we can take care of breakfast." he told her.

"Sure." she said, before leaving the bed, and revealing her naked body to him.

The Greek youth couldn't help but admire her curves, but he wasn't interested in any sexual games. But for now, he'll have to wait.

Meanwhile, back in Lasberg, while Patroklos and Isuzu were out, Pyrrha gazed into her reflection in a large mirror in Hilde's quarters. She sighed as she closed her eyes, before she said, "I'm not sure if I'll ever regain my normal self after all this."

"I know you still got it; even with your new appearance, I'm certain you'll redeem yourself." the red-haired woman told her.

The Greek girl's eyes widened a bit in surprise. "You...You think so?"

"Yes, a hundred percent."

Hilde's words of encouragement were enough for Pyrrha to smile, before she said, "Okay. I'll try and do my best sparring, allright?"

She smiled back, and before long, they left the room together for the courtyard.

When Pyrrha got to the courtyard some time later, she was greeted by Z.W.E.I., Viola, Greed and Malice. "Gettin' better, lately?" the blond asked.

"I think so. Well, I think it's about time I have a friendly match against you." she replied, looking over at the silver-haired man.

"Don't mind if I do."

As he brandished Kreuzgriff, he added, "Come on out, E.I.N."

The moment he would soon bring out E.I.N., this prompted Pyrrha to almost flinch. Thankfully, she did recall seeing him in battle a few times, so she quickly kept her cool.

And with that, Z.W.E.I. charged for her, attacking her with a few slashes. The final hit meant for her was blocked, fortunately for her.

Despite the fact that she would wield Soul Edge thanks to Nightmare and Tira, she'd wound up using it for the greater of good. Since agreeing to help her brother, the MHN, and even Schwarzwind, she had hoped to redeem herself.

Pyrrha performed a few kicks on the silver-haired man, before deciding to follow things up. She lunged and struck him several times with her sword, before he parried her.

"Guess you don't wanna be a spoiled brat anymore, don't you? Besides, you really are starting to act like the Pyrrha that her brother knows and loves." Z.W.E.I. asked.

"I am!"

The Greek girl took some damage from some slashes from his blade, before evading him. From there, she figuratively tore through him, with her hits even breaking some of his armor.

"This girl is nuts!" Malice exclaimed, to which Viola nodded, as they and Greed watched the fight.

Pyrrha growled, indicative of her Critical Edge, to which she would successfully carry out. Once it was done, Z.W.E.I. crashed to the ground.

"Holy shit, she really did train under Nightmare!" Greed added.

It wasn't long for Viola to run over to Z.W.E.I., asking with a look of worry, "Are you allright?"

"Yeah, I-I think so. Seriously, I have to agree with what Greed said."

As he was helped up, Z.W.E.I. noticed Pyrrha on her knees, panting. "You okay there?" he inquired.

"Y-Yes."

Pyrrha raised her head and managed a weak but warm smile, and that was enough to make him and Viola smile back. "Then I think it's about time you get back at that bastard for turning you into what he envisioned as a so-called 'successor'." he told her.

At the same time, Viola had also brought the Greek girl back to her feet. "Now that I think about it, I think I should see my crystal ball and find out if Pyrrha's moon remains red, even if she's here."

With that, the white-haired girl brought in Quattuor Orbi. Before long, she gazed into it, hoping that Pyrrha's moon has changed or not.

At first, she was crestfallen when the moon in question was still red. However, it slowly began to develop a faint shade of blue, and her mood brightened a bit.

"I believe redemption is in the cards for you, Pyrrha." she said to her.

Pyrrha nodded, before adding, "And when Patroklos and Isuzu return from Greece, I'll tell them the news."

A few days later...

Isuzu gazed out the window, taking in the sight of not only the town, but the sparkling blue sea. Seeing it gave her a rather interesting idea, and she was ready to go along with it.

As she approached Patroklos, who had just finished sparring with Cassandra, she smiled. "My dear, would you mind hearing me out?" she inquired.

"Not at all; what are you planning tonight? Especially since it's the last day we're gonna be in Lasberg." he said.

"I was thinking that we go skinny dipping together in the water, what do you think?"

He raised an eyebrow, before replying, "Nope; but I do have to ask: what if there are fish that are dangerous underwater?"

"Don't worry, Cassie told me about it. She said that the sea isn't too dangerous."

"You're planning on swimming naked? In other words, skinny dipping?" Cassandra asked with a rather inquisitive look on her face.

"Yeah, and I was hoping your nephew could join me." Isuzu told her.

The Greek woman could only grin. "You guys are really tight as a couple, are you?"

"Absolutely."

"Well, it isn't all that bad-looking under the sea. Elijah and I found that out for ourselves." Cassandra said.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"So how about after dinner, we go out tonight? Just you and me?" Patroklos asked.

"I'd be more than happy to." Isuzu told him with a mischievous wink.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Eventually, dinner would conclude. True to his word, the Greek youth brought her outside, where they approached one of the docks.

Isuzu instantly disrobed, as did Patroklos by a few seconds. When she dove into the water, she came back up to the surface.

"Are you ready yet?" she asked.

"Yeah, hold on!"

Soon, he was stark naked like her and dove in as well. After they spent some time swimming together, she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Just when she leaned in to kiss him, he spoke, "I didn't want to drink with you tonight, so that's why I wanted us to go swimming together."

Isuzu raised an eyebrow, grinning as she asked, "Must be Athena that didn't want you consuming too much ale, huh?"

"Yeah."

The samurai could only gaze into his eyes, before leaning to kiss him sweetly. However, she turned the passion up by having her tongue slide in, but he was sure to do the same.

One of Isuzu's hands boldly went into the water, and would eventually reach for his length. He gasped when he noticed her stroking him off, and asked, "What if there are people around?"

This prompted her to ponder for a bit, before she made her decision. "I'll take a look around, and find out for myself."

As she left him to do his thing, Isuzu inspected the docks, and the areas before them. Fortunately, there was no one around, so things would be quite easy for her.

"Patroklos," she said. "I see there's no people out here, just the two of us. So...where were we?"

Just as Patroklos was about to speak, he noticed her going underwater, sucking him off. He also took notice of her smoldering gaze, even under the water as she continued.

He groaned while his hands dipped in and ran across her dark hair, watching as she took charge by taking a little more of him inside her mouth. As she nearly deepthroated him, Isuzu had also diddled herself almost simultaneously.

"I-Isuzu..." he muttered under his breath.

Her skills were soon enough for Patroklos to ejaculate, some of his seed landing on her skin. She swam up and after making sure there wasn't any water in her mouth, kissed him yet again.

She even shifted her body, so that she was in his lap. His shaft was pressing against her folds, and almost anxiously, he pushed himself into her.

Isuzu's moans began to ring through her body, her body bouncing up and down. She managed to ask, "You enjoying yourself, honey?"

Patroklos could only grunt as he managed to reply, "I-I am, keep riding me!"

The samurai grinned, before resuming her movements. He could only grip both her asscheeks with his hands as he thrust upwards into her, albeit under the water.

He then asked, "Do you think we can keep the noise down? I hope no one hears us..."

"Hopefully not..."

Given that she was on top of him, it was clearly impossible to shift his body to hide under the docks. But it didn't matter, because Isuzu was already driving him crazy.

Her arms were around his neck, as well as her breasts pressing against his muscled chest. Leaning forward to kiss her full on the lips, Patroklos let out a muffled groan.

Isuzu was now moving faster than ever before, and the noises they were making were growing in intensity. Luckily, they were muffled due to their frequent kisses.

Her nails nearly dug into Patroklos's back, causing him to groan through her lips. He wound up going just as frantic as she was, their limits beginning to approach.

Soon, Isuzu was the first the find her release, her vaginal muscles convulsing as she clung to him. As she milked him for all his worth, he would follow her down.

As Patroklos pulled out, he decorated her back and buttocks with his seed, before she was about to let go of him and collapse into the water. Thankfully, he still held her close to him.

"So, how was it, Patroklos? Was it any good?" she asked through uneven breathing.

The blond youth grinned before giving Isuzu a light, but meaningful kiss. "Pretty good, actually."

Smiling back, she managed to climb back up to the docks, with him following her lead. "I'm glad that we'd spend some time together here in Greece. Not to mention, I'm very thankful for my aunt helping us out, too." he told her.

The samurai nodded, before she noticed that he went to get dressed. Isuzu shrugged, before joining him in returning to the villa.

"Hey, Patroklos..." she said, even as she gave him a seductive grin. "You wanna do it again in the sack this time around?"

Her inquiry had gave Patroklos a small chuckle, before smiling. "I'd thought you'd never ask."
