SZ: Hey. not..much to say so lets hop into it.
GT: Eeyup. We do not own Megaman nor Okami. CAPCOM does.
SZ: Let us start!
GT: Also a small warning. Sexy tall woman having 'fun' this chapter.
Sonia groaned softly as she began to awake, the light from the sun's morning rays shining down on her. She blinked a few times before she recalled last night and blushed. She looked to her side to see no one. She blinked before looking over at the other bed to see Geo sound asleep. She tilted her head before spotting a handwritten note on the tiny drawer between the beds, her name written on the top in Geo's handwriting. She blinked for a moment before she got up out of bed, brushing a bit of her hair to the side as she carefully picked up the letter and began to read it.
'Sonia, found you asleep when I came out of the shower. You must have been really exhausted from yesterday. I managed to get the covers on you before going to bed myself. Goodnight. Geo,' Sonia read before her eye twitched, 'I fell asleep…I was ready. I talked myself into being ready. I wanted him in me and cuddle afterwards until we fell asleep and then wake up together to have more before breakfast…and I fell asleep. …WHY DID I FALL ASLEEP BEFORE HE GOT DONE IN THE SHOWER?!'
"Good morning, So…" Lyra began.
"Wave Change. Now. Need to rampage on Viruses," Sonia growled.
"...ok. Venting to start the morning…" Lyra muttered as she went into Sonia's VG Hunter before they became Lyra Note and went out on the Wave Roads, "Haven't had that happen since the big hour special involving your character having to turn down that guest character, with the guest star being a little too…"
"Do not bring that up!" Lyra Note snarled, quickly pouncing on a Mettaur swarm.
"Sorry sorry… Did love his face when you used Geo showing up with barbecue and got him thinking Geo was your boyfriend," Lyra noted before cringing as Lyra Note let out a roar while punting one well into the horizon and punching another right through its helmet, "Okay…clearly I missed something last night."
"WHY DO PEOPLE EVEN NEED SLEEP?! WHY?!" Lyra Note screamed in fury as she continued her one-woman massacre on the poor viruses, "KONO YARO! BAKA! DAI-BAKA! MUGEN NO BAKA!"
'I…feel like I'm missing some context here…' Lyra mentally sweatdropped.
"Looks like Miyuki and White are going to escort Ellie over to the Satella station here since we have an extra day," Geo noted, wearing a red jacket over a black muscle shirt with a star print on the left bicep and blue jeans, as he looked at his messages, "Guess it's another day of just us…wherever Sonia is…"
"Eh, heard some explosions earlier. Might be spending the day blowing up viruses," Omega-Xis chuckled before Lyra Note appeared and then dropped her transformation.
"Hi, Sonia!" Geo waved before blinking a few times on seeing her slumping, "...Do you want Pappy's?" Sonia nodded, looking at the floor, "The big order you made last time before we went to the Science Center and we'll go out to the countryside of Missouri to eat in peace?" Another nod, "Okay. You shower and I'll get the order." Her tail wagged as she went off to the bathroom, "...What happened to get her that upset?" He frowned, "Omega-Xis, what did you do?"
"I blame the Gnat," Omega-Xis snorted.
"I have done nothing! I just got out of my grounding an hour ago!" Issun argued, painting sumi-e scrolls on a tiny stand on the table.
"She just woke up that way," Lyra shrugged, "No worries about viruses. She scared them off after she ripped that giant Metenna 3 with her strength alone."
"Yeesh…" Geo cringed.
"Well, get to it, man! You have a picnic date to prep for!" Omega-Xis ordered.
"?! Wh-wh-what?!"
"Oh my goodness. You're correct on this, Omega-Xis," Lyra realized, "You make her cry in sadness and you won't want to deal with me, mister. And have her back here by 9."
"P-please stop…" Geo begged, steam coming off his bright red head.
"Nope," Omega-Xis chuckled before Geo threw a pillow, hitting him in the face and sending his head off and out the window, "DANG IT!"
Issun grew his Sumi-e, depicting Geo as a samurai knocking the head off Omega-Xis as a giant dragon, "I call it Slaying of the Dumb Dragon."
"NOT FUNNY!" Omega-Xis barked as his body began to search once more.
Sonia didn't hear a thing outside the cool shower pouring on her luscious figure along with her heavy breathing from trying to calm down from her…workout…that morning.
'Ugh…why did I have to fall asleep? I finally accepted what I wanted…and I fall asleep…' she thought, feeling heat pooling into parts of her body not from the shower, '...screw it. The shower's going so no one can hear me.'
Sonia let out a small sigh as she let the water hit her body, feeling a bit of its warmth hitting her bountiful mounds of titflesh as she felt a light shiver going up her spine from the water dripping down it. She cupped them and lifted them up before letting them drop, making them bounce and cause her to gasp out at the feeling.
"These girls have had Geo-kun in them quite a few times in just two days," Sonia noted to herself, "I wonder how many times I can do it with pretending they're 'accidents'..."
She cupped her breasts once more, another light shiver going up her spine as she felt them over, as if she was examining them. Her mind drifted to the few times she had a mop of brown hair in them when she hadn't worn the necklace and let out a soft noise at the shiver down her spine at how it felt for those brief moments. Her blush grew as she recalled Issun's moment of weakness and Omega-Xis's rash decision and switched the two with just Geo's hand in them, moving around and teasing and squeezing her breasts as her own hands started roaming them.
"Geo…" Sonia whispered, recalling the rough treatment of her breasts and the warmth that pooled in them, "Mmm…"
She bit her lower lip a bit to hold back a sharp gasp, her fingers sinking into her bountiful melons as she gripped them for a moment, her tender nips hardening a bit between her pointer and middle fingers.
Her breath quickened slowly as each movement of her hands from simply moving them to the squeezes and pinching sent shivers of pleasure throughout her body. With great reluctance, she forced a hand off her breasts and began to slowly slide it down her body, feeling the tightly formed muscles hidden beneath her smooth unblemished skin that hid any sign of the body-breaking strength beneath. Her tail wagged a little as her hand slid over the slender stomach, fingers feeling the hardened abs beneath the smooth exterior and drifting to a tired Geo at Vista the night before their trip rubbing it when she was Ammy.
"Ah…Y-You just know where to rub…" Sonia whispered, her eyes shut as she imagined the hands wandering her were the toned calloused hands of hundreds, if not thousands, of battles instead of her own.
Finally, the wandering hand reached down between her child-bearing hips, following the trail of warmth that had spread throughout her curvaceous figure. The moment her pointer finger brushed against the pink numb that was her clit, her body locked up while her eyes shot open with a loud gasp of surprise, arousal, and pleasure.
"Oh..oh my kami…" Sonia panted a bit, feeling a huge wave coursing through her body for a moment, "That…was…oh my~"
She slowly reached down and brushed it again, making her hiss out in pleasure as the warmth grew. As she rubbed at it, her other hand continued to play with her breasts, squeezing, pinching, hefting and dropping. Slowly, she fell into a rhythm and started to hum, feeling as if she were creating a special song all of her own. It felt…right…making a song as she played herself.
"I wonder what our song will be when you're inside me, Geo-kun…" Sonia whispered to herself as her clit-rubbing finger slid down and into her opening, "Mmm~! A soft opening into a rock ballad~?"
She slid down onto her knees as she started playing this new 'instrument' that was part of herself, gasping and humming in a tune only she knew was formulating. Her eyes slid shut, her mind forming the lyrics to this tune as it gave her hands the guise of Geo's being her musician. She felt 'his' hands guiding along, as if using each of her 'instruments' like an expert.
"Ah~aah~" Sonia harmonized, her forming song reaching its end as her hands began to move quicker, "You're my sho~oting star~ The one I know will go~ far~"
As she felt the climax of the song coming on, she felt the 'strumm' of the 'guitar' rising in tune, as if synchronizing with her. She let out a final note as she arched her back, feeling a sudden rush as her body began tensing up. She stayed frozen for several moments as the rush went through her body. When she finally relaxed, her shapely rear cushioned her rump from the collapse. She breathed in deeply and exhaled slowly, slowly raising her hand up to see it drenched in a bit of a syrup-like liquid. She gave it a lick before slowly licking her entire hand clean.
'This is a bit tasty…I wonder if Geo-kun would like this taste?' Sonia pondered, sucking on her pointer finger.
"Sonia, are you okay in there?" Geo called out from the bathroom door, snapping her out of her train of thought for a moment, "You've been in there for quite some time now."
"H-huh? A-ano…J-Just dealing with all this hair is all!" Sonia called out, blushing as she looked at her long flowing locks, "N-Never expected to have so much at one time!"
"Ah….that is true," Geo muttered, "...a-anyway, let me know when you're ready."
"I will!" Sonia quickly assured, 'WHAT DID I JUST DO?! I…wh….d'oh…OMEGA-XIS!'
"Okay…how does this look?" Omega-Xis asked, tape on the sides on his head stretched down over his neck.
"You look ridiculous," Issun stated.
"Aw screw you, Gnat. This is how I'm gonna keep my head on," Omega-Xis huffed.
"You say until later when something causes it to fall off."
"Oh please. What could happen?" Omega-Xis smirked before Sonia punted him in the back of the head, sending it into the distance, "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiii…!"
"BAKA NO OMEGA-XIS!" Sonia barked.
The wolf girl had picked out a pink tee with a music note on the right breast under a lime green short-sleeved jacket and baby blue shorts that looked more like short-shorts on her. A pair of black stockings coated her shapely slender legs with red running shoes and a pair of black fingerless gloves completed the look.
"Oh! Morning Misora-tenshisa…!" Issun began before she suddenly picked him up and glared at him with a deep intensity, "AHH!"
"DID YOU HAVE A PART IN THIS?!"
"I-In what?!"
"I….n-nothing…" she muttered, quickly calming down as she put him down, "Nothing…at all…."
"Good thing Geo went to get the food…" Lyra noted, blinking a few times.
"Y…yea…" Issun muttered, 'What did the mutt do to upset her?' "Ahem! A…anyway…what did I miss while I was…er…grounded…?"
"Well…" Sonia began as she took a deep breath, "I made a new friend."
"Really? That's great!" Issun beamed.
"They really hit it off too," Lyra added, "It was adorable when they became Brothers."
"Ahh…I wish I could've been there to see it…what does this new friend look like?" Issun pondered.
"...promise you'll behave," Sonia warned, making him blink a bit before nodding, "Good," she tapped her VG Hunter as she pulled up the pic of herself and Ellie at the zoo, "This is her."
"..." Issun's radiation turned pink, "Tenshi da…"
"Should've seen that coming," Lyra deadpanned.
"Don't jump into her bra," Sonia warned as she put her necklace on.
"H..hai…of course," Issun whispered, "Just….ahh…you know how to surround yourself with such…angels, Misora-tenshisama…"
"Eh? You think so?" Sonia pondered, blinking a few times.
"You do tend to attract certain kinds of girls as friends," Lyra noted, "Take Lun…" Sonia growled before she covered her mouth, "...This is getting ridiculous."
"Agreed…" Sonia muffled out from behind her hands as her ears drooped.
"...Maybe your wolf sees whoever this girl is as a rival," Issun guessed, "You probably need to go on a date with Geo-san to get it to stop." His radiation turned yellow, "Oh! Like this picnic could be one!"
"!" Sonia's tail and ears stuck up as she blushed, recalling her incident in the shower.
"Well, Ellie did point out the two could already consider that they have already been dating without knowledge of it," Lyra noted, rubbing her nonexistent chin in thought, "Maybe making this an official one would help."
"M-Maybe…" Sonia squeaked.
"It'll help make things feel less awkward around him."
"That's the spirit!" Issun beamed, "We'll be sure to keep quiet, too! Easy enough for one of us." He gestured to Omega-Xis's body…putting the trash can on his neck, "...Eh, close enough."
"Very true," Lyra agreed.
"Can hardly tell the difference," Sonia nodded, fighting off her blush again.
"D-Date?!" Geo stammered, walking back to the hotel with several to-go bags in hand with Omega-Xis's head poking out of one.
"Yeah. Kid, I'm gonna be blunt. You and her have got something and here you are trying to deny it. I didn't even know you two weren't dating that's how much you two look like you are," Omega-Xis snorted.
"B-But…"
"It's hard to be not be afraid, it's harder to get past that fear; but if you want to get past it all, you just push past and go straight for it," Omega-Xis spoke, "For the sake of the AM Sages, Geo, just go Buck Wild already and use this as a way to make it official!"
"..."
"Look, Geo, this is gonna bug you for the rest of your life if you don't at least try."
"But what if she doesn't see me that way? What if it makes things awkward between us and…"
"Oh for the love of…" Omega-Xis groaned, "Do ya trust me?"
"Huh?"
"Do you trust me?"
"Of course I do. Why are you…"
"Then trust me when I say to tell her," Omega-Xis stated, "She may very well likely have a more positive response to this than you think."
"...You…think she…"
"Like I said, trust me. Make this a date. I saw a chocolate factory over that way. We Wave Change, you get over there, get a whole thing of it, and give it to her while you two are doing that picnic. …That's what you humans do to show affection, right? Give chocolate?"
"It's one thing, yeah…How did it work on Planet FM?"
"We talked and were honest," Omega-Xis replied, causing Geo to do a double-take, "...What? Planet FM and Planet AM were neighbors to the Melmacians before their planet blew up."
"Oh…wait. Melmacians?"
"Think fluffy short folk that eat cats, get addicted to dryer lint, eat cats, mimic people's voices, eat cats, had so much gold it wasn't considered currency and was used in just about everything, and eat cats. They didn't know our planets existed because different frequencies. Been extinct for a few thousand years now, but Planet FM still has recordings. Cat is a surprisingly good dish."
"That explains why you suggested we cook the neighbor's cat when you saw it…" Geo groaned, facepalming.
"Right. Let's get that chocolate for your girlfriend."
"Not my girlfriend!"
"Yet."
"Oi…"
"...How much longer is she gonna freak out, Lyra-sama?" Issun asked, the two watching Sonia curled up on the bed with a panicked expression and muttering under her breath.
"Oh, just until she smells Geo nearby," Lyra replied before a pillow hit her face/body.
"Not funny!" Sonia argued, cheeks pink.
"Hmm…" Issun pulled out small papers from his armor, "...Oh! I know a perfect private place to tell him!"
"Eh?" Sonia looked at Issun, who hopped into the Star Carrier Geo left for a few moments until coming out.
"There we go! You are now the owner of a house in the outskirts of Sullivan, Missouri," Issun beamed before her VG Hunter buzzed, "And there's the confirmation email."
"You had a house?"
"No. Skye did! He gave it to me and I double-checked it was still in my name. It was, so now it's hers!" Issun explained, "Out in the countryside, not too far from the town but far enough to have an amazing view of the night sky. Nice pond in the huge backyard where you can watch deer mosey about, and barely a two minute drive to the hospital in case of an emergency."
'A private house away from anyone…no one could find us. And under a night sky we can make such sweet music…' Sonia thought, feeling that familiar warmth building before shaking her head, "That sounds like a great place," Sonia admitted as she looked at her email, "I can't wait to see i…" she paused, seeing a news email…showing a stone bow and arrow, "...Lyra-chan…"
"What's up?" Lyra asked before Sonia showed the picture, "?! An OOPArt?!"
"WHAT?!" Issun exclaimed as he hopped onto Sonia's shoulder to look ,"?! An Artifact of the Angelus Tribe!"
"The what?" Lyra and Sonia blinked.
"It's what the Cupid Tribe used to be called before its real name was lost to time," Issun explained, "They were known for their archers, who could create arrows of light to pierce their enemies tainted with dark hearts. It was said their demise was a key cause of the Murian Empire collapsing."
"...There goes the picnic," Lyra sighed as Sonia frantically dialed up Geo.
"Come on pick up pick up pick up…!" Sonia whispered as she waited for him to answer.
=Hello?=
"Geo-kun…our plans for today just changed exponentially," Sonia whispered.
=Why? What's wrong, Sonia?=
"...An OOPart was just found."
=?!=
=LET ME FUCKING OUT, YOU WRINKLY OLD HAG!= Minor snapped as she banged on the computer screen, her sister sighing in the background as she facepalmed.
"Whew….the mouth on that one," Ace noted.
=I apologize for her. She was Wolf's apprentice= Major apologized =Karai…Karai, stop that=
"So this device is what let you two have a human form?" Goodall asked, looking at what looked to be a Star Carrier, but much slimmer with a circular button on the bottom half, "Quite fascinating…"
=Please be careful with that. We're still wrestlers and do need to have our human forms for it= Major advised.
"Seriously?"
=I enjoy wrestling=
=LEMME OUTTA HERE! I HAVE SEXY BABES TO WATCH AND FONDLE IN THE NEXT MATCH!=
"Right…Well, may as well talk to you while Granny is handling things," Ace noted while turning to Ellie.
"...I…I'm not in trouble am I?" Ellie asked nervously.
"Nope! None whatsoever," Ace assured, "But you are…unique. The only other case we have of an EM Wave Change having someone have more than one body is a guy called Pat Sprigs. Geo knows where he is and has probably contacted him about helping you with handling it."
"R-Really?"
"You bet! Ya know…you could do part time work here while learning how to deal with this newfound ability you got," Ace offered.
"Um…"
"Oh come now, Arthur," Goodall shook her head, "Not everyone wants to join, only to learn how to handle the Wave Change to lead semi-normal lives."
"What? She's three recruits in one."
=I do not agree to signing up without knowing exactly what we're paid, the benefits, and if you cover both medical and dental= Major informed.
"Um…I-I don't know…" Ellie noted.
Ace sighed, rubbing the back of his head, "That's probably the best I'll get." Tia grabbed his ear and tugged, "Gah! Owowowowowowow!"
"Are you trying to guilt trip people into joining Satella again?" Tia questioned.
"Ah! N-No, Tia! Not me!" Ace quickly replied before she released his ear and bowed.
"I'm sorry for my boyfriend here," Tia apologized, "He's like a puppy when it comes to meeting new people who can Wave Change."
"I…It's fine," Ellie muttered, "I'm just…unsure about it at the moment…but…I know Sonia and Geo are doing the right thing…but…I still need to get the money for my boyfriend's surgery…"
"Hm? Surgery?" Ace pondered.
"I thought he was in a coma," Miyuki noted.
"Medically induced in order to keep him stabilized for surgery?" White guessed.
"Yes," Ellie nodded as she turned her VG Hunter's display on, showing the background was of her in a pink and yellow sundress beside…
"?!" Miyuki gasped, covering her mouth in shock.
"Is…Is everything okay?" Ellie asked.
"Is…Is his name…Mamoru, by any chance?" Miyuki asked, staring at the background photo.
"Hm? Um…Yes. It's all he could remember since he has amnesia," Ellie explained, "All he could remember are his name and he loved playing with animals."
"...Is everything alri…" Ace began.
"How much is that surgery?" Miyuki asked.
"Huh?"
"How much?!" Miyuki demanded.
"Ah! U-Uh…At least 2,000,000 Zenny," Ellie replied.
"You have ten million in your account," White informed, already tapping away on her VG Hunter.
"I'm missing something," Ace noted.
"That is my baby brother that's Ellie's boyfriend," Miyuki stated, looking back at the photo of Ellie…with a softly smiling Mamoru having an arm around her waist in a casual blue shirt and jeans.
"...eh?" Ellie blinked at that.
=Ohh~ drama~= Minor noted with a grin.
"Another OOPart? How did…When did…I thought they were all sunk into the ocean when Mu collapsed," Megaman noted in disbelief, looking at the article as he and Lyra Note used the Wave Roads to traverse across the country all the way to the Smithsonian where the OOPart was reported to be displayed.
"I thought so, too," Lyra Note frowned, "But nope! Apparently there was another from this Angelus Tribe."
"I honestly prefer calling it Cupid Tribe," Lyra noted.
"Well, we'll have to confirm it is an OOPart then call in Ace to have Satella lock it up until we find Solo," Megaman noted.
"AND NO EATING IT!" Megaman and Lyra Note snapped, looking down at Omega-Xis's head.
"Eh, if I do, we just need to get Lu…" Omega-Xis began before Lyra Note let out a snarl, "...Uh...Did she just growl when I was gonna say Lu…" another growl went off and Lyra Note covered her mouth, blushing hard, "..."
"We're working on that," Lyra assured quickly on seeing Megaman look at Lyra Note in concern, "We know why it's going off and, yes, it does relate to her wolf half, Geo. We have it covered and it should go away by tonight at the earliest."
"I don't want to, but I keep going off when someone tries to say her name and I hate it because she's a friend, you know?" Lyra Note whimpered, her ears and tail drooping.
"...Maybe I should get another order from Pappy's when we do go out to the countryside for some quiet," Megaman noted.
"G…Good idea…" Lyra Note whispered. as they soon arrived in Washington DC and the Smithsonian.
"That is one big human," Omega-Xis noted, looking up at the Lincoln Memorial.
"It's a statue of a very important figure here, Mega," Megaman noted.
"Why? Was he a king or something?"
"No. He was one of the US Presidents," Megaman stated, "AMerica had a lot of past presidents, both good ones that did good for their country and the world, and the….bad ones…"
"What? Did one want to become a king or something?"
"According to the history books…one tried to, but apparently that's a really touchy topic."
"The OOPart?" Lyra reminded.
"Right," Megaman nodded as the two resumed walking off to enter it.
"Alright…" Onigiri-sensei noted, in his more frail-looking persona, as he connected the Ancient Star Carrier to a device that was being powered by the underground river in the underground home, "If I did these correctly, this should power on."
Solo watched the screen as the seconds went by. The screen soon turned on. Moments later, Laplace emerged, holding the side of its head.
"Well, well," Onigiri-sensei noted in amusement, "Laplace? Been quite a while, hasn't it?"
"...?!" Laplace turned to the elder in surprise.
"You know of him?" Solo asked.
"Of course I know this idiot," Onigiri-sensei chuckled, "He was my partner before we Murians had to leave Mu. Lost him in a bad storm before I arrived."
"..."
"I think I aged rather well," he huffed.
"..."
"...I see. Has he made sure to take good care of you after battles?"
"..."
"I see, I see," Onigiri-sensei nodded before Solo was down on his knees while holding his head, the elder in his strange head-twisted state once more, "You fool! You use just any normal oil for his treatment of his blade form?! What's the matter with you?! He enjoys soaking in vegetable oil for five minutes and then a polish."
"Ugh…H…He never said anything about it…"
"..."
"You must have told him during a bad mental period," Onigiri-sensei huffed, "Those who absorbed an IndieFrag do tend to have a period where they hear nothing from others at times unless you make their one-off barrier go off."
"...?"
"What do you mean how am I still alive? It's barely been fifty years since I last saw you, old friend."
"..."
"NANI?!" Onigiri-sensei freaked before Solo was pulled up to his feet, "You. Talk. Now! What year is this?"
"22XX."
"That shouldn't be possible…unless…" Onigiri-sensei gasped, "Oh, that damn sneaky eight-headed serpent! I thought those weren't normal quakes!"
"What?"
"Boyo, for me…Mu fell fifty years ago," Onigiri-sensei informed, making Solo tense, "In that time, I've come to witness many things while living here in Nippon. Demons, the land losing its luster and I get turned to stone, day and night shifting within seconds of one another. But none more so than a white wolf with red markings traveling the land, leaving behind life wherever it ran, as a Poncle artist journeyed with it. They and Susano'o one night went out to where the tomb of Yamata no Orochi laid and I chose to follow behind. The sight…was one I will never forget." he pulled out his Ancient Star Carrier, "Mainly for the fact I recorded the entire battle."
"And this Yamata no Orochi is…?"
"...A monster that rivals our people's god Ra Mu Xa," Onigiri-sensei replied, making Solo tense in shock, before he made the screen display and a video began to play.

=I've heard enough! Bottoms up, big guy!=
At first…it was just a white wolf and something small and barely visible upon its head. The…monster…on it and the wolf fought and yet…a barrier rejected each and every blow, making Solo tense as he realized how fast and how efficient that barrier was in comparison to the IndieFrag. His eyes focused on the back of the monster, seeing Kushi upon it and her about to be eaten were it not for Susano'o to appear. The monster spoke to it, offering words…words of power…of might…
"You can tell, can't you? Those words spoken…they feel similar to the one whom gave you the IndieFrag within you," Onigiri-sensei spoke, earning a nod after a moment, "And yet, while you embraced it…" an agonized wail erupted from the monster as Solo witnessed Susano'o and his plain wooden two-handled sword…pierce that which the wolf could not, "...Susano'o rejected it."
"?!" Solo looked on in wide eyes, watching the fight go on as the wolf took on each of the monster's many heads and dealing with each one, be it from burning it with its own flames to ensnaring it within trees that erupted from the land to even golden sake inebriating the heads and allowing vines from the grown trees to ensnare before flames engulfed them with the wind that blew only making the flames grow all the stronger; even when it flooded the arena, the wolf created lily pads and even spouts of water to traverse to get at the beast.
=The time has come! O sacred moon of the heavens, come forth and pierce this darkness! Bear witness to the beast's demise upon my trusty sword Tohenboku!= Susano'o declared as, with a howl from the wolf…a full moon shined down upon him as his blade shined with power…and grew the tiny flower he saw on it =Susano'o-Ryu…Shinjitsu no ha!= as if he were lightning, Susano'o was upon the beast's heads in an instant, roaring with each swing that fell one of its heads until just one remained =GOOD! WILL! NEVER! GIVE! IN! TO! EVIL!= the voice from before was heard whispering something, but Solo couldn't make it out, and the wolf charged only for Susano'o to hold an arm out to make it stop =No, Fido! I don't need your help this time! Now for the ultimate in Susano'o-Ryu martial arts! Susano'o-Ryu Hissatsu! SHOUTEN NANAO!=
As Susano'o jumped high into the air with a mighty roar, Solo could hear the monster rasp out with its last words =̴́͞Y̷̷͢o̕͝ù̧͞.̕͜.̸̷͠͡͝.͘͏I̶̵̧̧͟ ̡͘͜l͜͏̴ą̴̴̶̧y̛͢ ́̀a͝͝ ̧҉̷ć̴͏u̸̡̧͜͞r҉̡͘s͞e͟͝ ̨̛͘҉̛a͏̧̡͡s̷̕͞͝ ̴̀͞I̧͜ ͠͏̀͏͟f̵͜͏͜ą̴̢̕l̡͘͠ĺ̛͡͝.͞͝.̴͘͏.̵̸̧͜Y͜͜͞҉ó́̕͘͜u҉͏̷̕͟ŗ̕ ̧͝t̴͟͟i̴̡̨m̡e̵ ̶́͜ŕ̢ò̴͜͟b͟b̧͝҉͟e͢d̴̷̛̕͢.̀͞.̴̷̡͢.̷͜t̶҉̶̷h̢͜ȩ ̶̨́͟͟h̸̴͢͠͡ǫ͢m͏̸e̢͏l̷̷̨̕͟a͟n̸̴d͏̶̷͟ ̶̨̕͜͏s͘͏̧p̢͟ĺ̷̶͠i͟҉͡ţ̶̸̕ ͏i̸̧̡̢n͞ ̵̴̷̢̡t͟͡҉͜w̸̵̨ơ̢̕,҉̢͘͞ ̵̶̧͘ò̵͡n̶̛̕͏e͏̷̨́͡ ̶̛͞͝t̸̛͡͏͏o͏̵ ̢́͠t̡h̸̶͜͝è̶̛͜ ̸͟͞c̡̛ó̢n̕̕t̸̵҉̶͢i̡̛̛ǹ̢u̸̸͘ę̷̛ ̵͝ą̸̛͘ņ́͡d̵̕ ̡͜͡ơ̶̢͞n̴̶̨̡̢ȩ̵͢ ̧͢͞t̢̕̕ờ̶̸ ̨ś́͢t̷̵̀a̴̛͟y̴̴̶ ̵̀i̶̸̷͘ǹ̕͝ ͘͢f̨̢̧̡r҉͠ǫ̵z̛͏̀e̴̵n̨ ̸̷t̨̧i͜͢ḿ̷͟è̷̶.͜͡.̧̢̢͜͡.҉̡̛t̴͝͝h̵̴e͡͞͠ ́͠e̸̡͞r̴͜͢͠à̴̡҉ ̢̧̛̀͢ǫ̴̸͡҉f̸̸̷̛͟ ̷̴̢Ḱ͠a̵͞m̴̀͘͢i̷̷͠͏ ̴̧͜͝f̶͘͡͞a͘̕͞͞d̵̨́̕͞į̶͟͝n̵̸̨̛͢g̢̛͢҉͡ ̧̀a̕͟͠͠w҉̸̴́a̴̸̕̕y̶̷͟.́.̛̛͟͡.̶̡͢͡ẁ͝h̡̡́͘e̡͝ǹ̛ ͘͜͝t̡҉̧́͝h̢̨͞e̡̢̢͡ ̶̨͡ẁ̴͠͞ǫ̴̧r̢d̸̶̨͟s͘͢ ̵̶̨͘̕ơ̵̸͜f̴͏̵̨ ̨͢t̷̷̨̧̛ḩ̶͝e̷̛̛͜͡ ̶̸̷̀ą̷̀̕ǹ̸̸ć͝͏i̷̡͞e̵̡ń̛t̀͘s̢̕ ̶͝҉̨ĺa͏̴́͠y̸̛ ̀͝f͏̴̢o̵҉ŕ̵͡͡g̴͟͏̸ơ̕͘͢t̸̵͢͢ţ҉̢͡͞e҉n͡͡.̴͢.̧͘͟.̸͟͜͠I̧͝ ̴͜͝͠w̶̕͢i͏l̡̛͢͢l̵̢͝ ͡͏̧͘r̶̛̛͟͡e̶͢͝v҉҉̢i̶̡̡͡v҉́e̴҉̛̀ ̸̢̛͡ţ͝h̡̀ŗ̢͜͠o͏̡̕͜͠u͏҉g͏h҉̛ ̧̨d̷͟͏̡à̢͝r͏̴͘͢k̷n͜͏͏͝҉e҉̨̧̛͠s̨̕͠͝s̶̛͟͜ ̵̴͞a̸̕͢n̶͟͞d҉̴̴ ̸͟y̶̢͜͜o̶̕̕u͏̛͝r̷͠ ̴͘h̴̨o̴̴̕m͢͠͡e͜͠͝͞͝l̨͞a͟͜ǹ̶̸͡͠d̵ ̷͢͜w̸̶͠͝i̷͟ļ̴̢͟l̢͘ ̵̢̛͠j̴͞o̵̧̧͏͡ì̕͜͡n̛̛̕͠ ̵̡́̕ẁ̷̡i̢͝t̷͏̸h̶͏ ̶̴͢f̧́͢͡͠ę̶͡ą̶͢͞͞r҉̶ ̀̕͟͞a͘͢ń҉̀͟d̢̡̀͘̕ ̷͘i͏̴̸͞ǵ́͘͜͜n̡̕͢͜͝o̵̢̢҉r̢̨̛̛͢a͏̸̡͡ǹ̀͜͏c̴̵̢͠͡é̸̸.̶̡̛̀.̴̡͘͞͝.̧͟͝͏Ş̷͝҉̵u͞s҉̶̵a̵̢͠͝n̛͢ǫ͟͠'̴͘͘̕͏ǫ͢.̷̢̛̀.̵̢̀͜͡.̛́͝A͏̶̧͢҉m̀͟͟͢ą͡͏͠͝t̸̸̨̡̀e̛҉̛ŗ̶̴̀à͢s͜͜͜͞͠u̷̶͟.̢͘͜͜͟.̧͝.̷̡̧Ì̢̨̨҉ ̵͡l҉̕a҉̢̕͠҉y̴̨̢͢ ̡̨̛́t̶̷̵͟h̷̛i̡̧s̀͜͝ ̷̸͟c̢͘u̷̴̧͝r̷͞ś̕͡͠͠e̴̵͞.҉͢.̴̧̀͘͠.̷͘à̧̧͘s͜͟͢͠.̵͞.̵̡.̷̶̷͡͠Ì̵̧͜͞.̷̧̢͞.҉̧́͞͏.̧̀̀͡f̶̴̛̀͝á̧͘͡͡l̸͢l̀.̶̕͟.̵͘͜͠͝.̵͘͜=҉͏̸̴
With that, Susano'o fell and swung. At first, nothing appeared to have happened…and then, as Susano'o sheathed his wooden blade…the final head and its long neck split in two. Its form collapsed and melted away, allowing him to catch Kushi. Onigiri-sensei dismissed the video and slid his Ancient Star Carrier back into his robes, resuming his frailer state.
"After that, his lair began to collapse in on itself. While they escaped one way, I used what little Wave Roads were there to traverse," Onigiri-sensei explained, "A day later, the ground shook and no one saw the wolf and its Pontac friend again. And a few months went by…then you appeared in the river of Kamiki Village, saved by Susano'o and Kushinade."
"...This Orochi…it's not dead."
Onigiri-sensei shook his head, "It is not."
"...This is part of the land where Geo Stellar hails from, the part Orochi stole the 'time' from," Solo continued to think aloud, "...The language that I couldn't understand until I ate that peach that we speak here…it's gone in the lands outside of this, forgotten."
"..."
"You are right, old friend," Onigiri-sensei agreed, "The people from this part of the broken land, its royal city in the west, the Oina to the north…they have not reached that level of readiness. We practice isolation, yet the part that lost us seems to have…embraced change, welcoming those not of this land fully." he shook his head, "Fear and ignorance…the things that caused our Link Power to fail and Ra Mu Xa to become a monster in of itself…" he looked to Solo, "...Will you aide this land in its time of need?"
"..." Solo looked down, narrowing his eyes. This elder was that of his people…his long forgotten race that fell so long ago…a man now out of time…yet he cared more for the people of this land than that of his own homeland…He was about to reject it when images of Kushinade and Susano'o came to his mind…of the young boy who lost his faithful pet yet retained the bond in another that made a new one just as strong…of Laplace and how he seemed…brighter…with seeing Onigiri-sensei, a long lost 'friend' to his partner…he looked up to Onigiri-sensei, forcing himself to ignore the whispers of the IndieFrag, "What do I do first?"
Onigiri-sensei smile, "The first…is to give you a tradition that you have yet to receive." he walked over to his table and came back with a brush and ink before making a dot on Solo's forehead as he chanted under his breath in an ancient tongue while making several markings on the back of his hands and the sides of his face, "Young Solo, Rogue of the Murians. You have long passed the age of your coming of age, of your Naming Ceremony. As the eldest of Mu's remaining, I give to you your ceremony here and now." he tapped Solo directly on his chest, making him grunt as the IndieFrag emerged to his shock before it crumbled to dust, "Today, you are Soro Solo. And your warrior name shall be known as Burai the Rogue, Guardian of Nippon."
"..." Solo brought his hands together and knelt down to him, "Thank you, Onigiri-sensei."
"Arise, Solo-kun," Onigiri-sensei spoke, "We have much to do. With what comes…you and I need to go to the capital and speak with Himiko Jo-Ou-sama."
"Of course…"
"Okay, the directions say it's in this wing of the building," Geo noted, looking at a map of the Smithsonian, "We'll head that way and look it over. If it is the real deal, we'll contact Satella to confiscate it so it can be given to Solo when we find him."
"I'm honestly missing the random times he'd show up," Sonia admitted, "He probably had a much better idea of what's going on with us at the moment."
"And we'd have to kick his ass to get it out of him," Omega-Xis chuckled.
"Just barely," Lyra reminded.
"Still won."
"So…I don't fully remember if you told me this, but you seem pretty familiar with Mu's infamous Tribal Relics," Issun noted.
"He ate the Sword of Zerker, Shuriken of Ninja, and Skull of Saurian," Geo pointed at Omega-Xis.
"Hey, it kept them from being stolen."
"You ate them?!" Issun gawked.
"It wasn't pleasant when they'd try to take over during a Wave Change," Geo cringed.
"...You are insane, Baka-Ryu," Issun summed up perfectly, "Now I'm tempted to tell you that good nickname I thought for ya because of it, but you also did cause Geo-san a lot of pain if it hurt whenever he Wave Changed."
"Wait, what?" Omega-Xis blinked at that.
"Found it!" Sonia beamed as they entered a small part of the museum dedicated to Mu, complete with photos of when it was floating in the skies above several years ago, a few holograms of the Murian 'Wizards,' and even a video that had been sent in showing its destruction from a distance…all with the OOPart they were looking for settled on a podium in the center of it all in a reinforced glass case, letting them see it in better detail and see the various carvings on the two-in-one OOPart and how the tip of the arrow looked more like a drill then an arrowhead.
"...yup. That's the Angelus Tribe's artifact," Issun noted.
"What do you know about this anyway?"
"Oh, everything that Skye did!" Issun beamed, "With the issues from survivors of the Atlampian Civilization, he really wanted to go in depth into ancient civilizations to have countermeasures in place. Hoo boy, was there a lot! The Atlampians were equals in technological advancements with the Murians, but instead of focusing on EM Wave technology, they focused on Network Technology and ironically, both fell at the same time in trying to outdo the other!"
"...Huh?"
"The Murians created a physical embodiment of their god, Ra Mu Xa," Issun explained, "But the Atlampians developed what could be considered the world's first CyBeast, the Trojan Horse which was made to infect EM Wave technology. Well, it worked, it corrupted Ra Mu Xa and it wiped out the Murians and sank Mu beneath the seas…but the Trojan Horse went berserk and infected the Atlampians' technology and caused their home to collapse. A last ditch effort was put by the Murians, pouring all their history into their Tribe Artifacts and sent them out across the globe…and Baka-Ryu ate three of them."
"I hacked them out…eventually…not willingly…" Omega-Xis muttered.
"They also sank with Mu," Sonia added.
"So kinda impossible to find."
"Not if you had the Pirate Tribe's artifact," Issun stated.
"There's a Pirate Tribe?" the two teens asked.
"Saurian, Zerker, Ninja, Angelus AKA Cupid, and Pirate," Issun replied, "The Trinity of the Lands and the duo of the Sky and the Sea. The Pirate Tribe was perhaps the most free within the seas, able to use the very ocean itself as their 'ship' as the legend goes. They were also the most open to outsiders, welcoming them with open arms…unless you came at them with arms then they showed why they were called 'Pirates' by beating you up, looting all your stuff, and then tying you to your ship's mast and sending you adrift with a knife to cut yourself free to try to mess with them again. The Pirates…were not the happiest Tribe when the Murians made Ra Mu Xa and took their Artifact with them and no one's seen it since."
"And the Angelus?"
"They were known as the Cupid Tribe because of their skills with archery. It's said that one of them could shoot the antennae of a tick right off its head at 20 kilometers," Issun explained, "But, they were also those who believed strongly in the strength of Love through their Link Power. It's said that their Tribe had the highest number of Link Power among the Tribes. They were amazing flyers, and they…well…as I had mentioned before…could make arrows out of light itself."
"Huh…Interesting," Geo noted.
"Huh…It's generating EM Waves…but the radiation…it's different to the three we used," Omega-Xis noted, "This feels more…warm."
"Warm?" Geo pondered as he flicked down his Visualizers at the same time Sonia's facial tattoos shined.
"Whoa!" Sonia jumped back along with Geo, seeing the white EM radiation coming off the OOPart, looking more like gentle waves than the chaotic flames from the original three.
"It….does feel warm," Lyra noted.
"Are we sure it's from Mu?" Sonia asked in disbelief.
"The Angelus, like the Pirates, left Mu when the Trinity of Lands decided to build Ra Mu Xa. It's believed that they left because making an embodiment of their god went against what their Tribe believed in," Issun noted, "Guess their people came all the way here to North America."
"...So…do we report this in?" Sonia asked, "Or…do we just leave it be?"
"It's Murian tech," Geo sighed, "We could always give them a replica to house here like the one at the IFL Tower Museum."
"But will they notice it's not the actual thing?"
"Get enough pics and we can make an exact replica," Issun replied before an alarm went off, "Ah! It was Omega-Xis's idea! Arrest him! I barely handled grounding!"
"Oh you little…!" Omega-Xis seethed.
"...we better check to see what it is," Geo said as he and Sonia looked at one another.
"Uhn!"
"And to think they didn't know about the other two Tribes," the figure who intruded Vulpecula lair chuckled, cracking his knuckles as the fox demon was muttering curses in her head as she sat seiza style with her back to the figure…who was using her tails as a chair, "I can hear your thoughts, you know."
"?!" she froze with wide eyes at that before he lifted her up.
"Go ahead. Speak freely…give me your best shot."
"Gh…" she scowled before the sliding door opened and Karasu entered, kneeling down to them.
"Sir, the quota you requested be produced has been reached," Karasu informed.
"...oh right. Show her the wears," he said.
"You mean that DarkCard production of yours?" Vulpecula asked, her thoughts going giddy on what she did to a boulder with the one he gave her.
"No," the figure replied as several Imps pulled in a cart…with swimsuits hanging off it, "Why should they be the only ones who gets to relax?"
"I am not wearing those…I want my DarkCards! You miserable asshole!"
"Got anything else?" he asked.
"Oh, I got plenty! If this collar wasn't attached I…"
"Karasu, tell Vulpecula goodbye."
"Um…Goodbye, Lady Vulpecula?"
"Why are you..." she started before the figure grabbed her and the collar erupted, discharging dark electricity, "Ahh!"
"You thought the collar was something to make you obedient, but it wasn't even mystical…I built it."
"Gh! G-Gah…!" she gagged.
"It's a prototype, but….it connects my soul to yours." he explained, "And now with my willpower against yours…it's time for Vulpecula…2.0…but please, keep struggling…the pain will amuse me greatly."
"...tch…..fine…D-DarkSword!" Vulpecula hissed out as her left lower arm and hand bent and twisted into the DarkSword.
"I'm getting close…what keeps you together…and how much of your willpower is gonna break when it's gone…" he chuckled.
She struggled to lift the blade up over her head, "G-gh…"
"Do ya feel that, Vulpecula? My being showing you the true pleasure of being the M?" he whispered, "For the master of illusion, you are a weakling at the mental battle game."
"Shut up! I'm just going ea…KYAHHH~! D-Don't touch those memories!"
"Oh what's so special?" he said, gripping tighter, "...oh….oh so that's why you haven't really gone all out."
She roared as she managed to swing down…only for a finger to catch the blade, unable to pierce it. The owner of it was a red-skinned man with long wild black hair wearing just a pair of silk black pants with flame designs going up the right leg. Karasu trembled, backing up to a corner as he kept his eyes on the man, fear in his eyes.
"So you woke up, Shuten Doji," the figure noted.
"..." the figure looked at hte man and then to the fox.
"Yes, this is her."
"..." Shuten nodded before pushing up and shattering the sword.
"Oh you're wondering about him…well…Orochi didn't want him loose, but well…come on…look inside me, Vulpecula, before my final blow…see who I am." she focused with all she had and her eyes widened.
"You…you don't…you were never…"
"Goodbye, the most precious thing in Vulpecula's heart."
*SMASH*
"..." her eyes went blank as he let go and Karasu watched his mistress fall, her eyes and expression…lifeless.
"Lady Vulpecula!" Karasu gasped before tensing as Shuten looked at him.
"...Mae," he whispered.
"Hmm…Good suggestion. Tamamo no Mae," the figure chuckled as black and red flames erupted off her, "Ah…This world…it interests me so." he said, "Shuten, you take Karasu out and amuse yourself like the old days; I'll wait for this butterfly to hatch from her cocoon."
"?!" Karasu froze, nearly turning to run before his eyes were met with Shuten's.
"...Matsuri da," Shuten softly smiled before Karasu gagged as he shot out of the open door and tore a deep groove into the ground.
"Do amuse me," he said, looking as the flames danced, "Or I'll make you suffer twice as much as I made Vulpecula suffer." he waved a hand and a black Imp appeared, "Once Shuten's done having his fun, shove a ton of the DarkRecov into Karasu and then to the base we unearthed. I'm rather interested to see if I can't have all three." the imp then whispered something to him, "...Oh, you found him…good. Let's amuse Ellie, shall we?" he handed the Imp a DarkCard showing a corrupted Recov symbol, "You know what to do with this."
"...So far nothing," Megaman whispered as he and Lyra Note looked around the Wave Roads of the Museum, "Sonia, you see anything?"
"Iie," Lyra Note replied, shaking her head.
"Could have been a false alarm," Lyra suggested.
"I don't know," Omega-Xis frowned, "...! Geo, back to the OOPart!"
"Huh?"
"If we didn't find anything on this side, it must be…" Omega-Xis began.
"...after something on the other side of the Smithsonian!" Lyra finished.
"It's Operation Centaurus 5 all over again!" Omega-Xis groaned.
"Libra never dropped it until everyone smacked him with a boulder," Lyra sighed, facepalming.
"Uh…" the teens spoke up.
"TO THE OOPART!" Omega-Xis barked.
"Ahh!" the two panicked as they ran off back to the Mu exhibit room.…before Lyra Note came in on the opposite side of the room, "Nani?"
"Huh? But…you ran ahead of me," Megaman noted.
"I could have sworn we just left this room," Lyra noted.
"Mmm…" she ran out another way only to come out the way she came in, "Eh?!" she ran out the way she came in only to run back in the same path, "NANI KORE?!"
"...It's a trap," Megaman realized as the two got into a defensive position, "Whoever is after the OOPart…must've set it up."
"...Oh please tell me it's not my fuckign crazy Ex…" Omega-Xis groaned.
"If it is, I'm not pulling back my hits," Lyra Note stated.
"Let's figure out how to get out of here first," Megaman said as he looked at the different parts of the room, "Issun, any ideas?"
"Hmm…Something in here might be causing it," Issun noted, "I think I've heard stories about this from Maylu-sama when she'd visit Skye…something about…um…oh, it's on the tip on my tongue…think, Issun, think!"
"..." Lyra Note's ears twitched, "Eh? Suzumi?"
"Suzumi?" Issun repeated before jumping up and landing on the top of Megaman's head, "...A TANUKI IS HERE!"
"A what?" Megaman asked.
"They're little devious yokai! They're shapeshifters that can not only transform themselves, but the landscape itself! You can always tell when they're casting illusions by the way they beat their bellies like a suzumi drum!" he looked over at Lyra Note, "Which way is the drumming coming from?"
"Mmm…" Lyra Note hummed as she closed her eyes, her ears twitching a bit before she looked at the entryway behind them, "That way."
"Follow the Okami!" Issun declared.
"Right," Megaman nodded as he ran after Lyra Note…only to end up in the room with the OOPart and no Lyra Note, "What the…?!"
"D'oh~! That sneaky Tanuki got us!" Issun gawked.
"...Should I eat the OOPart again?" Omega-Xis asked.
"NO!""
"Geo-kun?" Lyra Note blinked twice, not seeing Megaman following her.
"Where did they go?" Lyra pondered.
"Away," a voice replied, making Lyra Note tense.
She spun around and swiped her brush only to cringe as she ended up decapitating the Lincoln Memorial, "...Uh…I didn't do that? …It looked like that when I arrived?"
"Sonia…"
"I know…" Lyra Note slumped.
"It is quite obvious your concern over the blue-wearing mortal makes you act recklessly with your divine power."
"Mortal?" Lyra Note repeated, her ears twitching as she tried to find the source of the voice.
"Do you not remember yourself? You are the mother of all, origin of light. As you regain what you have lost, you sever your flimsy connections with the world itself. You are immortal."
"Immortal? What are you talking about? I'm just me!" Lyra Note argued.
"You are Amaterasu. You do not require earthly connections. You are all that is good and giver of life. You need not anyone, especially a mortal that will lead to heartbreak."
"You are not making sense! Who gives you the right to tell me who I can date or not?!" Lyra Note snarled, her markings glowing in his rising anger.
"I do not…but a fragment of a greater god akin to you can."
"?! They're at the OOPart!" Lyra realized.
"They are, but you will not until this is done."
"Like hell!" Lyra Note snapped as she ran back in…only to end up falling out a window, "Gah!"
"I'm sorry for this, Amaterasu-sama. But it is for your own health and sanity I must do this."
"I'm pretty sure you're the one threatening my health and sanity right now!" Lyra Note barked, looking around as her ears twitched.
"Look, all I'm saying is that they probably want me to eat it, so why not eat it and then turn it all around on whoever's pulling this stunt on us?" Omega-Xis argued.
"We are not eating the OOPart!" Megaman argued.
"Seriously, you think I should eat it, right?" Omega-Xis asked, looking at Issun who was painting a sumi-e once more.
"Issun, please tell Omega-Xis we're not going to eat the OOPart," Megaman sighed.
"...Mmm…I say why not ask if it can help instead of just eating it?" Issun asked.
"...Huh?" both asked.
"Can't you Pulse In into the OOPart?" Issun asked.
"...Can we?" Megaman looked at Omega-Xis.
"I…I don't know," Omega-Xis replied, blinking a few times, "We didn't try with the other three because of how wild their radiation was, but this one seems calm, so…uh…should we?"
"Huh?! Normally you're the one who wants to jump in immediately!" Megaman gawked.
"That is way too calm for my liking!" Omega-Xis argued.
"Well would you rather have someone else steal it then?" Issun countered.
"..." both mumbled out under their breaths.
"Then get to going in there and seeing if they'd be willing to help without getting eaten by a Baka," Issun pointed at the OOPart.
"...I swear this better not make me act weird," Omega-Xis muttered as Megaman began to approach the OOPart.
"Okay…Pulse In!" Megaman declared before he turned into green EM radiation that shot into it…and Geo and Omega-Xis grunted and tumbled down onto a grassy plain, the AM-Ian's head popping off in the roll, "H-Huh?!"
"Ow…" Omega-Xis groaned as his body got up and began to pat around, "Hey…Hey! Over here, you idiot! I swear, I thought we've gotten this down to a science already!"
"...Where…are we?" Geo pondered as he pushed himself up, picking up Omega-Xis's head in the process.
"And how did we lose Wave Change?" Omega-Xis pondered.
"Well you can't be honest if you're wearing a disguise! Though, a bit ironic for myself since I have to wear one so you don't have a melted brain from trying to comprehend."
"?!" Geo jumped and spun around, holding Omega-Xis's head like he was still a blaster.
Sitting at a small glass table was a shapely woman that looked to be in her mid-twenties with long flowing white locks of hair ending in a rainbow of colored highlights at the tips. She wore a simple white dress with gold accents resembling hearts and two large wings on her back. The angel(?) reached a hand out, caught Omega-Xis's body, and turned it towards the two, letting it reclaim his head.
"Um…Wh-Who are you?" Geo asked.
"Hmm…Well, I'm the bow and arrow you just entered," the angel(?) replied, "I'm Ra Mu Xa…or, rather, the embodiment of Ra Mu Xa's ability to connect and love others, but who's counting?" she let out a laugh as she patted the chair beside her, "Come, come! But don't come onto me, sweetie~." Geo blushed as she cracked up with another laugh, but obliged her with sitting in the offered chair as Omega-Xis floated beside him, "Now you mind answering my question? What's a cute little bundle of ingenuity like you having traces of those three meathead Tribes of Dinosaur, Berzerk, and Shinobi?"
"Huh? Um…Do you mean Saurian, Zerker, and Ninja?" Geo pondered.
"Hey, hey, hey. I thought we were doing things by tagging in questions. No answering one with a question now, ya hear?"
"S-sorry…" Geo muttered, "And to answer your question…well…"
"I ate their artifacts," Omega-Xis bluntly stated.
"You what?!" she cracked up, "Seriously? He ate their artifacts?! Oh, that is a laugh riot! Serves those meatheads right!" she wiped a tear formed from her laughter, "As for your question, those are more 'modern' names you call them by, but they were originally called Dinosaur, Berzerk, and Shinobi. My turn~! What brings you two hunks to visit little ol' Angelus?"
"Um…er…u-uh…" Geo stammered, blushing at the flirtatious compliment.
"We're making sure whoever's attacking the museum doesn't steal your artifact," Omega-Xis bluntly stated once more.
"Ooh~Quite the open dragon dullahan, are we?" Angelus noted, scratching the underside of his chin.
"Lady, I have an ex that pulled the same shit you do…and has a freaky bondage fetish…with…ugh…hot wax…" he shivered for a moment before shaking his head, "Your flirting can't get to me."
"Uh-huh…One bad relationship, but also one really good one," Angelus noted, making him pause, "And your adorable stud muffin here seems to be in one that he's only just realized."
"Um…H-How did you…?" Geo began to ask.
"Sugar, my Tribe's nickname was 'Cupid' for a reason," Angelus replied, flicking a hand at the table they were at, causing the surface to ripple to show a younger Geo and Sonia making their BrotherBand, "It's our duty to keep the love train a-chuggin'! While you're in here, anything considered romantic I'm able to bring up." she put a finger under Geo's chin and had him look her in the eyes, "And you, mister, are smitten with a goddess!"
"A-A what?!"
"I'll let that slide since I did break the rule," Angelus giggled before pointing at Sonia, "Ammy there…or 'Sonia Strumm' as you and her call her now." she sighed, "Seems that she did a full reset to herself, the adorable fluff ball."
"I'm kinda lost here," Omega-Xis noted.
"Well that's easy. I'll be blunt: gods? They're real! Real as real can be!" Angelus explained, "Sometimes we split up into smaller aspects like Ra Mu Xa into us artifacts, others we incarnate into things, but Ammy there? She did the full reset. Her soul completely wiped out her past and let her powers spread out to the four corners of the globe. Up until she started recollecting them, she was Sonia Strumm and just keep reincarnating. But now, she'll stay that way even when she regains her powers."
"...I…I see," Geo whispered as he let that info sink in.
"...Something troubling you, Sugar?" Angelus asked before tapping the surface of the table, causing it to replay his conversation with Ran yesterday, "Probably this little bundle of 'joy' and your 'chat' with her, hm?"
"...yeah. I guess you could say that," Geo admitted with a sigh.
"Hmph. This little strumpet who should have her heart ripped out through her ass doesn't know shit about how love or gods work," Angelus huffed, earning a startled look from Geo at her crass language, "What? Even gods like to curse. The first curse happened when the original stubbed their toe and screamed the first fifty swears in rapid fire. But moving past that…" she placed a hand on his shoulder, "That gal don't know a thing about you. She don't know a thing about Sonia. She ain't got a single thing to do with how you two feel or what will come from it. She only knows Amaterasu, not who she's become in this life. And, if Sonia wants, she can go back to who she was before the powers returned to her…" she winked as the table rippled and showed Sonia's current state, "But she can keep the sexy bod you can't keep your eyes off of." she cracked up laughing as Geo covered his bright red face with steam hissing off the top of his head.
"...I do not wanna imagine what would happen if you and the Gnat met," Omega-Xis deadpanned.
"Maybe," Angelus winked as she dismissed the table with a snap of her fingers, "So…I'm guessing you want to protect the artifact I'm in by eating me?"
"Yes/No!" Omega-Xis and Geo replied respectively.
"..." she flicked Omega-Xis's forehead, knocking his head off, before patting Geo's head, "That's quite sweet of you to think about a lady's preference to not getting eaten. No wonder you've earned the attraction of the Sun Goddess herself." she dismissed the chairs and stretched, "Alright then. I give you full permission to Tribe On with me, Sugar! Just make sure you keep the love going strong, ya hear? I don't want to be pulling you in here and swatting your tight buttcheeks with a paddle because that's your sunny gal's job when you confess."
"Wh-what…?!" Geo yelped before the area was engulfed in bright light, "?!"
Issun looked up from his sumi-e when Megaman shot out of the OOPart and hit the wall across the hall. He blinked a few times as the OOPart glowed before collapsing into a sphere of white light with a bow and arrow symbol in it that went into Megaman. He looked between Megaman and his sumi-e, depicting Megaman seducing an angel. He frowned before shrugging.
"I'm keeping this as the 'real' story," Issun stated, letting it dry before he stashed it away with the rest of the story he's done for their adventure, before jumping over to Megaman, "Looks like you earned the trust of the Artifact! So how was it in there?"
"I swear, I found another you in there…only it was a lady with wings…" Omega-Xis growled in annoyance.
"Ugh…" Megaman groaned as he got up and turned to see the OOPart gone, "Ah! Where's the…?"
"It turned into a ball of light and went into you," Issun replied.
"Aw no…" Megaman groaned, "...Hey…I don't feel like I'm under a ton of pressure…"
"Well duh! It willingly went into ya!" Issun pointed out, "The other three got eaten! From what Skye studied, the strongest member of the Cupid Tribe calls the form this gives on Angelus Heart, boosting the power of healing and granting normal attacks a piercing effect. I wonder if they work like Roll-sama's RollArrow in breaking an enemy's BattleChips…or BattleCards in this era."
"Roll? You know her?" Megaman asked.
"Duh! Of course I did!" Issun replied, "Why do you sound like you know her?"
"We met 200 years ago due to a psycho clock Navi that got made in this era a year after Meteor G," Omega-Xis snorted, "Kidnapped Lyra Note and her so we teamed up with that Megaman guy in the past…"
"Megaman or Rock?"
"...Huh?" the two looked at Issun.
"Well…I don't fully get it, but he got split into two when he was made with one being raised by Skye and his wife and the other by Yuichiro and then some stuff happened and the one raised by Yuichiro died so he made the one raised by Skye Megaman," Issun noted, crossing his arms over his chest as he tilted his head in thought, "But for simplicity, we call the one that lived on Rock because that's the name he was given by Aphrodite-sama."
"...I…did not know that," Geo muttered.
"Eh, there's a bunker in a place Sonia-Tenshisama wants to show ya for the picnic later. I think it's the one with his family pics," Issun noted, "Or was it the one with the BattleChip collection he hid from this chip collector guy…? …Aphrodite-sama's clothing storage?"
"...! Sonia!" Megaman yelped as he looked around, "We gotta get out of here…"
"Well, the tanuki doing this might have only affected the doors and Wave Roads…" Issun guessed before pointing at a high open window in the room, "No clue if they covered the windows."
"...Might as well try this out then," Megaman noted, "Tribe On! Angelus Heart!"
"Lady Amaterasu, why must you persist on this?" the voice sighed as Lyra Note walked around, "I am only looking out for you. When you regain your power, do you truly wish to endure the pain and suffering that comes from outliving your chosen lover and any children you may have? Of any children they have?"
"Will you shut up about that?! I'm not a god! I am not immortal! I am Sonia Strumm!" Lyra Note barked before spinning around and producing two speakers, "Shock Note Fortissimo!"
The two large energy notes shot out of the speakers and slammed into a statue…that jumped out of the way. The area rippled before showing them well on the other side of the Smithsonian as the statue changed into a somewhat pretty woman donned in teal tribal-like armor with a tanuki's ears and tail with an armored mask resembling a tanuki face over her own with long silver hair. On her hip was a large coin purse shaped like a drum with a leaf symbol on her chest.
"I should have spoken less, it seems," she sighed.
"Okay, talk! Who are you?!" Lyra Note demanded, aiming Lyra at her, "Why are you doing this?!"
"Atashi wa…Tanuki Leaf," the woman responded, "An envoy to the gods, one chosen to do the will of them for the people of the land so that the gods need not intervene."
"Envoy to the gods?" Lyra repeated.
"Oh for the love of…I am not Amaterasu or whoever you think I am! I'm just receiving Brush Techniques from the Fudegami!" Lyra Note complained.
"Then why do they acknowledge you as their mother?" Tanuki Leaf replied, "They know you are Lady Amaterasu, mother to all, origin of light. You may deny all you wish, Lady Amaterasu, but your children know who you are as do you."
"My name is Sonia! Sonia Strumm!" Lyra Note growled.
"Your master refers to you as 'Misora'…and you accept it no problem," she argued, "Orochi's minions are targeting you specifically…the corrupted Fudegami…can you not feel them? Are you willing to go so far into this farce you've made for yourself to deny your powers that connect you to them, to find and purify the corruption? You could easily resolve this if you gave up this fallacy of being mortal!"
"Fallacy?! I'm mortal! I'm not a god or whatever you think!" Lyra Note argued, "Why don't you make like your name and leave me alone?!"
At that, several arrows of light struck Tanuki Leaf, knocking her back with a spray of sparks coming off where she had been struck. Lyra Note looked in the direction of the shots before Megaman landed by her. His bodysuit had turned gray with silver 'spines' going up the sides of his body while his armor had turned pure white with silver detailing. His leg armor had grown bulkier with a crossbow holding an arrow with a drill bit for the arrowhead on his right arm while Omega-Xis's head became more cihbi-like with tiny silver bat wings. His helmet grew two white 'horns' as it became slightly more angular with a gold 'halo' around his spiky hair. On his back were a pair of white and silver angel wings that folded into a cape of sorts as he landed.
"You alright?" Megaman asked, keeping his buster ready as he aimed it and his crossbow at Tanuki Leaf.
"...hai," Lyra Note nodded before glaring at the woman, "That's our Tanuki."
"...Ah! That frequency…You're the AM-Ian when we went to the Science Center!" Omega-Xis recognized.
Tanuki Leaf slowly got up…before pinching her drum/purse.
"Ah! Ah! Iteiteiteiteiteite!"
"You allowed yourself to be spotted?"
"Not my fault! Not my fault! He's that good at sensing frequencies, nuki~!"
"..." she stopped pinching and looked at Megaman, "The OOPart accepted you."
"I wanted to eat it," Omega-Xis pointed out as Issun peeked out of Megaman's hair, "But the Gnat had a bright idea for once."
"Hey!" Issun snapped, shaking a fist at Omega-Xis.
"...You're the woman from yesterday that told me to leave Sonia alone," Megaman stated.
"?!"
"Huh?!" Lyra Note gawked.
"Angelus helped me with dealing with what you said to me," Megaman informed, "Sonia is Sonia. She may have been Amaterasu, but she's Sonia and she'll always be Sonia."
"Eh?! Not you, too~" Lyra Note whined.
"I'll explain later. Promise," Megaman assured, giving her an assuring smile while keeping his eyes on Tanuki Leaf, "You also upset the piece of Ra Mu Xa in the OOPart with that 'chat' and she wants to pull your heart out through, um…well…"
"Your heart's gonna get pulled out through your ass if Angelus gets her hands on ya!" Omega-Xis declared with an amused smirk.
"..."
"Angelus, and Ra Mu Xa in turn, approve of what you told me to stop from trying," Megaman noted.
"..." Tanuki Leaf sighed, "I see…If another God approved of it…who am I to argue as an envoy?"
"So that's it? You're just…leaving?" Lyra Note asked.
"I am, yes. I am not a fighter and you two can easily outclass me in speed, strength, and utilization of BattleCards including those customized ones you've been making."
"Oh hell no!" Lyra Note snapped, "You're not getting away that easily!"
"I ask you this then…am I even still here?" Tanuki Leaf asked before a puff of smoke engulfed her, revealing a tiny statue of a tanuki in her place.
"...I hate that woman," Lyra Note summed up her feelings as she turned to Megaman, "I don't know what she looks like in real life, but I hate her."
"...Do you want to get more barbecue and go to town on coconuts or viruses?" Megaman asked.
"Viruses."
"Okay. …Pappy's again?"
"Pappy's please."
"Okay, let's get you Pappy's and go find you some viruses," Megaman nodded, patting her shoulder.
"And go to this quiet place out here in Missouri that Issun knows."
"Okay," Megaman agreed before they went off down the Wave Road, "Wait, Issun what now?"
"Okay…he'll be transferred to the famous Seaside Hospital of Electopia for the surgery," White informed, looking at his VG Hunter, "He'll be operated on in two weeks."
"..."
"...Ms. Tsuchikaze?" White looked up from his VG Hunter to Ellie…who was on the verge of crying.
"H-He's going to be okay…" she sniffled.
"He will. Seaside Hospital has that kind of reputation for being the world's best hospital for miracle surgeries," White replied, "They were also the hospital that developed the surgery to cure HBD." he then gestured over to Miyuki, looking through the medical window to Mamoru, lying in his bed attached to several devices, "Go on."
"H-Huh?"
"Talk to her. She's technically your future sister-in-law now."
"?!" Ellei blushed in realization, "Oh…r…right…" she whispered, cautiously stepping over to Miyuki, "Um…M…Miyuki?"
"...thankyu."
"Eh?"
"Thankyu…for helping to take care of him…"" Miyuki thanked.
"It…It was nothing…honestly, we both took care of one another," Ellie noted, looking at Mamoru as well, "But…I'm worried, too. He had this pet, but…ever since his accident, I haven't been able to find it."
"...Was it a cat that had the same color as his hair?" Miyuki asked.
"Oh! Yes! It was! Mamoru never told me his name, so I called him 'Chocolate,'" Ellie noted, "When I couldn't find Mamoru, I'd often find Chocolate and he'd just stay with me until I'd fall asleep and Mamoru would be there when I woke up."
"...Well…That's something important," Miyuki noted, "You're looking at Chocolate."
"Huh?" Ellie blinked a few times.
"...Ellie…you've done so much for me that you never even realized…from what you've said and what the doctors have told me about when you visited here…" she smiled at Ellie, "I'd be happy to call you my little sister like I do Sonia."
"R-Really?!"
"And as such…I'll teach you something only those my and Mamoru's people know how to do…the Art of the Oina."
"Huh? O…Oina?"
Miyuki nodded, "Consider it as my way of thanks as well as another proof of our friendship."
"Oh! Um…Th-Thank you. But, um…what is this art?"
"..." Miyuki smiled before jumping at Ellie…and letting her catch her in her fox form.
"...Wh-wh-what?!" Ellie gawked.
"W-Wow~" Geo awed, he and Sonia sitting on a blanket amidst a large field leading down to a moderately large pond, a modestly-sized house behind them with a garage and one-room barn-shaped building to its sides in the backyard.
"Issun got this place from Skye-Hakase and then he gave it to me as a place to go to when we just want to get away," Sonia noted, her face markings glowing while Geo had his Visualizers down, letting them see the Wave Roads above intermingle with the night sky.
"It…It's almost like Vista Point…" Geo whispered.
"Yeah…only no train for Mega to ride around in," Sonia noted, giving a glance over at the barn-like structure that the three EM Beings were inside of.
"Big sports fan, huh?" Omega-Xis asked, looking at all the Cardinals, Blues, Pirates, Penguins, and even Steelers paraphernalia.
"Yep. Skye bought it from an old man who lived her with his family before he passed away a week after selling it," Issun explained, "His only condition was to keep everything in the house as Skye's belongings. He told me to do what I'd like with them, so…I gave them to Sonia-tenshisama."
"That was quite nice of you, Issun," Lyra noted.
"Hey! They have that game with the RYNO!" Omega-Xis beamed, looking in a set of big blue lockers, "...What's this blue hedgehog one?"
"Oh! Sonic the Hedgehog?!" Issun exclaimed, "I wanna play! I wanna play! Just don't pick Amy Rose if we play Sonic Adventure 2! She cheats!"
"I'm sure they're fine doing whatever in there," Geo noted, seeing her looking that way.
"Do you think Sensei and White-san got our messages?"
"That we'd be taking the Wave Roads back instead of the plane? I think so," Geo replied.
"I couldn't stand another night without a view like this!" Sonia gestured to the night sky, "Seriously, it's a crime to not have this kinda view!" she flopped back down on the blanket, her impressive chest bouncing enticingly and making Geo quietly gulp, "It's so nice~! Can we make this our getaway home, Geo-kun?"
"Um…S-Sure…" Geo replied.
"Yay!" Sonia cheered as she hugged him.
Geo managed to chuckle as he blushed, feeling how close she was to him. A small silence fell between the two as they looked up at the night sky. Sonia fidgeted as Geo started poking his pointer fingers together as the few talks they've each had with others went through their minds.
'Is this…a date?' Both thought.
'It's just us…the others are busy with whatever they've got in there…' Sonia pondered.
'My heart is racing now that I think about all those times when we were trying to help the other when we were stressed or struggling…' Geo mentally noted, putting a hand to his chest.
'My blood is racing just like Ellie-chan said…' Sonia thought, her cheeks pink.
'...I have to do it,' both thought before speaking, "I have something I…oh! Go ahead! Ah…" both sheepishly rubbed the back of their heads, "M-My bad…Ack!" A silence fell, "Rock/Jan…Paper/Ken…Scissors/Pon!" Geo picked Rock and Sonia Paper, "..."
"...You first," Sonia offered.
"Ah…um…th-thanks," Geo thanked, taking a deep breath as he gathered his thoughts together, "Sonia…I've been doing a lot of…thinking lately on…well us."
"Y-You have?" Sonia asked, "It…It's been on my mind, too."
"Y-yeah…Mostly on…well…on what we've been doing over the last few years," Geo nodded before taking in a deep breath, "H…Have we been…d-d-dating this whole time?"
"?!" Her ears and tail popped out and stuck up, "Uh…Um…I, ano…"
"I-I'm sorry if I just made things aw…" Geo began.
"No, no! I…was thinking that same question," Sonia admitted, "The checking in on each other…th-the trips to places to cool off together, even if it's not something we'd like but knew the other would…"
"The pretend flirting when people we're uncomfortable with trying to get near us," Geo noted, recalling a few fangirls that fell for it and the fanboys of Sonia's that slunked off in defeat.
"We even live together for crying out loud," Sonia threw her hands up before both fell silent, "...I…I don't mind…actually dating you, I mean! Ah! U-Unless you're not interested! It's cool! I-I don't mind!"
"No, no! That's not what…ah…" Geo sighed as he held her hand, "Sonia, I…I don't mind dating you. It…I…"
'Wait…He's…' Sonia's eyes widened before cupping his cheek with her free hand.
"H-Huh…?" Geo stammered before freezing up as Sonia's lips met his. After a moment…suddenly he felt his body beginning to move on its own, slowly relaxing as he returned her kiss.
'He/She's kissing me!' Both thought, 'She/He…She/He feels the same!'
A warmth slowly bubbled as they kept up the kiss. Sonia wrapped her arms around the back of his neck as his went around her waist, pulling her closer. Her tail wagged as they paused in the kiss to just gaze the other in the eyes, seeing the various emotions within, the strongest being joy and relief.
"I love you," both whispered before kissing again.
The warmth in Sonia grew as they made up for so many lost chances of kissing over the years. She let out a small moan, opening her mouth a bit in the kiss just as Geo's tongue slipped out and into hers. Her tail shot up as her tongue played with Geo's.
'Oh kami…Ellie-chan was right…' Sonia thought, pressing her chest against his.
'White…he was right…' Geo thought as Sonia let out another moan as his hands drifted down.
'I…I do love…'
"Geo, Sonia, we're back!" Miyuki's voice called out, making the two tense up as they quickly parted, panting as they caught their breath.
"...w….wow…" Geo whispered, "That…that was…"
"Hai…" Sonia slowly nodded, blushing, "G…good thing sensei called out…any further and we could've gone a bit…a bit too far…"
"Y….yeah…"
"Ara? Are you here?" Miyuki called.
"In the back!" Geo called, 'Forgot we didn't have an extra night at the hotel…'
'Gah! Why didn't I offer to pay for one more night for them?!' Sonia whined before blushing, 'No no! That is Ammy talking! Bad Ammy! Go down and wait for shower time! Hopefully with Geo-kun and…No! Bad! Not yet!'
"Oh! What a beautiful sky!" Miyuki awed.
"Are you sure you don't want the tickets for the plane?" White asked as the two teens looked up at them.
"Yeah. We like to sleep in," Sonia assured.
"Alright," White nodded as he offered Geo a hand that he accepted and pulled him up…before discreetly handing him a small box of condoms without the girls noticing.
"?!"
"For when you're both too into it like now," he whispered.
"Ah…um…th-thanks," Geo softly thanked and quickly hid them while Sonia hopped up.
"Well, I'm curious about this house I now own!" Sonia beamed, "Wanna come check, Sensei? Okay! Ikuze!"
"Eep!" Miyuki yelped as Sonia pulled her off into the house and up to the kitchen in the center of it.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! Ammy nearly popped out in that and we'd never have heard you."
"Oh….soka," Miyuki blinked a bit, blushing as she realized what she nearly walked in on if she hadn't called.
"Still…Eeee! We're mates!" Sonia cheered, her tail wagging excitedly, "It was perfect and awkward and-and-and…Eeee! He loves me! He really loves me!"
"Misora, calm down, calm down," Miyuki giggled as she put her hands on her shoulders, "I am so happy for you though. It was only a matter of time before you finally admitted your love for him."
"Hai, hai!" She beamed, her tail still wagging.
"You know, I heard from Lyra-chan you have a friend that you kept growling when someone tried to say her name."
"Hm? Oh, right. I kept growling when someone said 'Luna.' …Ah! I said her name!" Sonia realized before sighing in relief, "Oh thank goodness…I hated growling when someone tried to say her name…"
"...Good thing you stopped when you did," Miyuki whispered, "When an Oina woman picks their man and until he returns your feelings…any female friends you may have would be seen as rivals to you…and given your…ahem, other self…it seems it's to the point you can't stand to hear their name, kyu."
"!? Ooh…g-good on me then," Sonia gulped before shaking her head and smiled at Miyuki, "But now that Geo-kun and I are mates, it's my turn to help Sensei with her mate!"
"...N-n-n-NANI?!" Miyuki exclaimed, her tail and ears popping out and sticking up in surprise, "M-Misora?!"
"I-is everything ok in there?" Ellie's voice asked from the next room..
"Ellie-chan! Geo-kun loves me!" Sonia cheered as she ran into the living room where Ellie was, "Your advice worked! Now help me! Sensei likes her manager and…"
"Noooo~!" Miyuki called as she jumped Sonia with a bright red face of embarrassment, "Hush! Hush right now!"
"Ah/Eek!" Sonia and Ellie yelped as the redhead and blond fell on the whiteette onto the couch.
"Is everything ok out here?!" Geo called out as he and White quickly ran into the room.
"Mmmm….!" all three girls whined a bit…now currently piled together on the couch in a rather…interesting way.
"...My what a beautiful roof," Geo whispered as he looked up.
"Indeed," White agreed, looking at the ceiling while tugging Geo's arm, "Let's move to the back and look at the big windows in the back. I could swear I saw a shooting star earlier."
"Oh, uh…g-good idea…" Geo agreed, still looking at the ceiling as they backed away, "Should probably check on Omega-Xis as well…"
"See…? He likes you…" Sonia muffled from between Miyuki's legs, the wolf girl's pants pulled down to expose her thong, as Ellie mumbled with a heavy blush, trying to not moan from the muffled denials from the head between her breasts that had pulled her shirt up to expose the yellow frilly bra.
"Mmm…"
