Mission 3: The Fallen Angel You Don't Expect

An Hour Later; Surface
The group have made it to the surface, tensions running high as Mihara, Yuni, and the black and white haired woman stuck to the side and Counters was in front and Dawnbreaker in the back, silent and observing the area. Yuni stole glances back at Suskian, looking intrigued and interested at the same time. Melina took notice of the glances and so did Suskian as they continued walking.
"…So, what is this Chatterbox thing we are looking for?" Launch asked out of the blue as she glanced at Wardress.
"It's a big ass Rapture that we have been looking for over a month, that Syuen seems to have a special interest in for some reason. She doesn't tell us anything except to capture it alive," the black and haired woman said as she took a smoke from her cigarette and looked around, "Something about advancement of Ark tech or some shit like that."
"She mentioned that in all that babbling she was doing," Suskian agreed as he folded his arms, "Is it not weird that we cant contact our operators at all? Let them know what's going on?"
"Strict orders from Syuen that we do this as a Black Ops mission," Mihara told Suskian earnestly.
"I know she mentioned that, but I don't want our operator to worry about our well being," Suskian said seriously as he rubbed the back of his head.
"You don't trust us?" Yuni pouted as she glanced back at the Saiyan. Suskian rubbed the back of his head and Melina answered for him.
"Not at the moment, no," Melina said seriously, "You need to prove yourself to us. When we find this Rapture or whatever… We will trust you. Fair?"
"Fair. Lets get this shit over with…" the woman scoffed and kept walking.
"Don't mind Firefly. She is a bit hot-headed sometimes," Mihara said as she shook her head.
"Shut up, fat tits… I'm not in the mood," Firefly sniped as she glanced back at Mihara and Yuni glared at Firefly, "You too, fat ass." Firefly stomps off and everyone glanced at each other.
"Someone's moody…" Anis said as she shrugged her shoulders. The rest followed behind Firefly and Wardress as they led them further.

That Night
It took them all day to arrive to their destination: The last known spot where Chatterbox was located, and the group were tired from walking all day… So, they decided to set up a large camp and sleep partner to partner. However, to everyone's surprise… Yuni volunteered to partner up with Suskian. Melina was about to object, but Suskian agreed to it. He told them he will be fine and he and Yuni settled in their tent. Yuni then took the time to lay out in a seductive manner on her sleeping mattress and try to seduce Suskian.
"I want to know how strong you are. I hear you can fight Raptures all by yourself… And, can match any Nikke," Yuni told him as she licked her lips. Suskian blinked a few times and sweat dropped.
"Well, I am that strong. And more… But, I will show you my true strength in battle, but I need rest," Suskian told her and Yuni leaned in to sniff his scent, "Umm…"
"Shh… I don't know why, but I'm just enamored by you for some reason. It's… Like an aphrodisiac," Yuni said lustfully and Suskian quickly held her by her shoulders, looking at her.
"You're not corrupted, are you…?" Suskian asked and she frowned at that, "One sec." He scanned her brain and found no corruption… Well, not anything like Marian's corruption. What he found was… Confusing to him. He saw what looked like a pink mist surrounding her brain.
"That's odd. What is that? I never seen that before… Is that… A glitch or something? No, couldn't be… If it was, wouldn't it be blue and static?" Suskian thought as Yuni leaned in and stared into his eyes with her heart filled eyes, "She said aphrodisiac… But, why am I not smelling it…?" He took a sniff and flinched as he smelled something sweet. That was weird… Yuni then grabs him and pushed him onto the sleeping bag and got on top of him, sitting on his lap and giggling lustfully. It's like she is possessed or something, but it's DEFINITELY different from what happened to Marian.
"Yuni… Stay calm. Something is happening to you… Like, you're being controlled by something… MIHARA!" Suskian called and he can hear the sounds of footsteps as Yuni leaned in and bit his neck playfully. Mihara pokes her head in and sees Yuni biting playfully on Suskian's neck.
"Yuni? This is new…" Mihara said.
"Something is wrong with Yuni… And, there is a weird sweet smell in the area. Can you smell it?" Suskian asked Mihara as he held Yuni up. Mihara raised an eyebrow and took a whiff, flinching at how sweet the scent smells.
"What the hell? What is that? Why is this smell appearing now? Hold on," Mihara said and came over to pick Yuni up and hold her. Yuni then began trying to break free from Mihara, whining like a little kid. This confused Mihara as Suskian sat up and stopped to take a listen. He hears lewd moans coming from the other tents and he and Mihara looked at each other before heading to check on the others. Ryu was Crawling out of his tent he shared with Anis and Anis was feral, grabbing at Ryu and trying to drag him back into the tent.
"Help! I don't know what is going on! What is happening?! What is that sweet smell?!" Ryu yelled and Suskian quickly goes over to help Ryu. He looked at Anis using his Ki Sense and saw the same pink mist on her brain.
"What the hell?! Anis too?! Are the others affected like this?!" Suskian asked as he helped Ryu to his feet. Ryu fixed his clothing and panted as Anis looked like a predator stalking her prey as her eyes looked wild and lustful.
"Give me that massive cock, Commander! NOW!" Anis yelled as she glared at Ryu. He covered his privates and shook his head.
"Is she corrupted?!" Ryu asked.
"No. I can tell it's not corruption," Suskian said as he rushed over to check on his wife, who was bunking with Theresa in their own tent. Both were looking confused as they came out of their tent to wonder what was going on.
"The hell is going on?! What is with all the screaming?!" Theresa asked. Tsubasa came out of her tent she shared with IF, both also confused on all the noise. Then, Rapi combat rolls out of her tent and panted with exertion as she fixed her sports bra on her boobs.
"Jesus… Roberta is like a feral dog in heat," Rapi panted as she had her eyes wide as saucers, "What is this smell I'm experiencing…?"
"Something is going on here, and its affecting our friends," Suskian told them, "One sec…" Suskian used his Ki Sense in a wide spread area to scan the other Nikke, and it wasn't good. The others who weren't outside were in several different positions of sex with each other, lewd moans coming from the tents. The pink mist permeates all around those tents, as well. Anis licks her lips as she stalks towards Ryu. Rapi immediately gets in front of Ryu and takes a combat stance.
"Anis. Get a hold of yourself. You're not acting right," Rapi said.
"Move, Rapi! I want that good dicking from Commander!" Anis yelled in primal lust as she cracked her neck. Ryu flinched in shock at this.
"Oh, that girl is STARVING," Suskian and Mihara said at the same time.
"What is happening?! Is this a mass corruption?!" Rapi said in a panic.
"No. Well, I don't think so… Remember Marian? I told you her corruption was like a festering red bug on her brain. Everyone affected by this have a pink mist surrounding their brain, almost like a hazy fog," Suskian said seriously, "Is this… Not a form of corruption?"
"No. I've never heard of something like this happening before…" Mihara commented as she looked at Suskian, "We have to find a way to snap them out of it if it's not corruption."
"Suskian… They seem to be acting like they are mind controlled, in a way… Like Demon Realm Magic," Melina told Suskian and he frowned at this.
"Yeah… But, this time it's feeding off their lust, which I have never heard of. And, we don't have the time or luxury to try and dissect it…" Suskian said and stopped when he got a warning from his area wide Ki Sense. There was… A Rapture nearby as well as… A Demon from the Demon Realm? It wasn't Demigra, no… It was weaker than him, but…
"Suskian? What is it?" Rapi asked as she glanced back at him.
"Melina, Erdtree Sense. NOW," Suskian said seriously and Melina glanced at him before nodding her head, placing what looked like a weird golden circle tattoo on her left hand and slammed it on the ground. A large golden tree rose from the ground and the tree roots shot into the sky, creating what looked like golden streaks that raced through the air. Melina had her left eye closed for a few seconds before her scarred right eye opened up, turning bright yellow.
"Suskian… There's a Demon from the Demon Realm here. I don't know how, but… It seems they are with a large dragon shaped Rapture several yards away from us," Melina told him. The Nikke looked at her shocked and Suskian sighed.
"Do you know what the Demon looks like?" Suskian asked.
"…No. It can't be her, can it…?" Melina said as she grits her teeth in frustration and Suskian glanced back at Melina before widening his eyes in shock.
"You don't mean… Cassandra, do you?" Suskian asked in shock, "But, she's dead. Jade made sure to kill her…"
"No, worse," Melina growled as she stood up and held what looked like a curved black dagger in her right hand. Suskian flinched and growled in annoyance.
"Her mother?" Suskian asked and Melina nods her head, "Fuck my life…"
"Enemy?" Rapi asked and the married couple nods their heads, "And, she is with a Rapture?"
"Yes. It's big… And, it looks powerful. You're gonna need to get ready," Melina said.
"Rapi, Tsubasa… Get ready for battle," Ryu said as he looked at them.
"What about Anis?" Tsubasa asked calmly as she turned to go to her tent to get her sword.
"…I'll hold down the fort. Get moving," Theresa said seriously.
"Mihara, IF… You're with me. Rapi, Tsubasa… Protect Ryu. Melina…" Suskian ordered.
"I'll handle Mother Dearest," Melina said seriously as she nods her head, "Just handle the Rapture." The small group rush to the direction Melina and Suskian headed off with Theresa holding Yuni back.
"Good luck, guys! Don't lose!" Theresa called. Yuni whined more and Theresa held firm to the small woman.
[-]
The group arrived a few minutes later and stopped to see a large dragon like Rapture towering over them, a pink aura surrounding it as a purple skinned woman with vibrant red hair stood on top of the head of the Rapture, holding a large red staff in her right hand and a hovering pink Tome in her left hand, the Tome emitting a pink light.
"Aww, you discovered me… Well, I'm not surprised, considering you have the troublesome Time Patrol on your side. Hello, Suskian and Melina… How are things with Chronoa? I bet she scolded you for not contacting her," the woman said in a teasing manner.
"Dakimu… Why am I not surprised you are here?" Suskian asked in annoyance, "How the hell did you get to this dimension? I thought Melina and I were the only ones here from another world!"
"Silly boy. You should know better by now… Wherever you go, he'll follow," Dakimu said with a wry smile, "But, I bet you're wondering why I'm here. It seems fun here, so why not? Plus, the essence of Demigra is still around, so who isn't trying to find that?" Melina and Suskian looked horrified at that. Demigra was alive?!
"Nah, you're lying! I blew him up!" Suskian yelled in shock.
"Yes, you did. Shocked you were able to pull that off… But, his soul survived…" she said with a smirk, which had Melina frown, "He still lives, albeit without a body."
"What kind of Rapture is that? I've never seen anything like that," Rapi said as she aimed her rifle at the Dragon Rapture.
"You like it? You should know I am able to replicate anything with my power and enhance it," Dakimu said with a sly smirk, "This is my Lust Wyrm. It brings out the primal lust in a person and amplifies it to the maximum amount. You experienced it firsthand, did you not?" The group flinched as Suskian and Rapi had dark glares on their faces.
"You're the reason Roberta nearly assaulted me," Rapi said lowly.
"Yuni is acting strange because of you," Suskian said as he shook his head, "Don't worry. I'll pay your kindness back in spades… By granting you a slow and painful death." He grabs his necklace again it began glowing golden yellow.
"Tarnished: Remembrance Blade: Dragon King's Cragblade." Out of the necklace came what looked like a large stony sword that was shaped like a thrusting sword and it crackled like electricity as Suskian held it in his left hand. The dragon roared loudly, shaking the ground. It slammed its feet on the ground, kicking up dust as the group got ready to fight.

Meanwhile, Back At Camp
Theresa had put Yuni back in the tent and was distracting herself from listening to the lewd moans coming from the tents by reading what looked like log reports from earlier missions she had done as former leader of the Triangle Squad. She sighed as the memories flooded her brain of all the good times she had with the squad. Then, that fateful day popped into her mind: The day she was kicked out for her one mistake. What was it like, you ask? She failed in protecting a government official in an assassination attempt. She was attacked beforehand by assailants and kidnapped, which traumatized her pretty badly. After she freed herself, it was too late and she was fully blamed for what happened. She grit her teeth and took deep breaths as the hits she received during her kidnapping stuck with her. She was then roused from the traumatic memory by someone touching her on the back and it scared her.
"Whoa, sorry. You good?" Roberta's voice said and Theresa panted as she wildly looked around and closed her eyes when she realized where she was.
"Y-yeah… What about you? Are you okay, now?" Theresa asked and Roberta cracks her neck while smirking.
"Cranking one out was pretty relaxing. Cleared my mind," Roberta told Theresa as she looked at the other tents and listened to the moans, "Seems like the teams are bonding… But, I do need to ask. Did you hear that roar?"
"…Roar?" Theresa asked in confusion as she was too deep in her memories to hear the Lust Wyrm roar and then remembered, "Shit, the others are fighting a Rapture! But, I have to stay back and protect you all…"
"I'll go. Keep an eye on the girls," Roberta said as she stalks back to her tent to get dressed, "Can't have us all out of commission."
"Are you of sound mind?" Theresa asked as Roberta went back in the tent.
"Yeah, I just said I was. Don't worry," Roberta called.
"Take me with you!" Yuni called as she crawled lit of the tent on all fours, looking disheveled, "Mihara… I can't let Mihara get hurt on my watch!" Theresa glanced at her as Roberta slips on her clothes.
"You're… Back to normal?" Theresa asked as Yuni quickly grabs her rocket launcher and held onto it.
"No. I can still feel the effects of the mist on my mind. But, I refuse to let myself not be able to protect Mihara!" Yuni said in a panic as she stood up and Roberta and Theresa saw that there was a clear liquid trickling down her leg.
"Girl, are you wet right now…?" Roberta asked and Yuni blushed.
"It doesn't matter! I can't let Mihara or Suskian die! Not if I am capable of fighting!" Yuni argued as she shook her head.
"Her mind is a mess… We can't-" Theresa said and Yuni pulls out a black pistol and brought it up to her head, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop, you're not corrupted! Put the gun down!"
"I need to get rid of the mist somehow… If this helps…" Yuni said and Roberta grabs the gun and held it as she rubs Yuni on the back.
"Calm down. I will take you over to them. Okay?" Roberta told her, "Theresa, keep an eye on things here. Got it?" Theresa sighed and nods her head. Yuni blushed and bows her head and Roberta puts Yuni's pistol back on Yuni's hip, where it belongs.
"Keep a cool head and concentrate on the mission, got it? That should help." Yuni nods her head and Roberta puts Yuni on her shoulder before running off.
[-]
Roberta and Yuni were on their way when they stopped to see a large torrent of blue flames shoot into the air and Roberta stops to let Yuni get off her shoulder.
"Flames?! I've never seen Flames that big before!" Yuni yelled in shock.
"Can't be Suskian… Even though he is capable of creating huge Flames like that, that looks more wild and untamed. Gotta be the Rapture they are fighting," Roberta said as she sets her rifle up on top of a large Boulder and took a look through the scope. She sees the huge Lust Wyrm Rapture take flight into the air, it's mouth coated in blue flames as it flew around in a circle.
"What kind of Rapture is that?! I never knew they can take animal shape!"
"It looks like a dragon, almost…" Yuni said and looked back at Roberta. Roberta raised up from behind the scope and glanced at Yuni.
"That means the others are over there. I'll find a vantage point and be your Sniper. Go, I'll cover you," Roberta said seriously and Yuni nods her head, "Try and immobilize it with your power. I can get a good shot in that way."
"You got it," Yuni said seriously and ran in quickly while Roberta scaled a Cliffside and laid down in a Sniper position, loading up a round into the chamber. Yuni ran towards the sounds of gunfire and raging flames with one thought on her mind: '*Mihara! Suskian!*'
When she arrived, she stopped a good distance to see the others firing their weapons at the Lust Wyrm. Suskian was not with them… Well, he was… But, he was on the back of the Lust Wyrm, slashing and stabbing into the back of the Dragon with the thrusting sword he had. Yuni quickly took out her rocket launcher and aimed it upwards as a blue light emits from her body. Just then, the wings of the dragon locked up and it hovered in the air for a few seconds. Yuni then fired a rocket and knocked the dragon off its course, but also in the pathway that Roberta needed. Roberta took that time frame to fire off a bullet at the head of the Dragon, landing a critical hit and sending it crashing to the ground. Suskian hops off the back of the Dragon and lands behind Yuni, who glanced behind her and blushed as she looked down and acted shy.
"…Let me guess, you froze the dragon?" Suskian asked her calmly and she nods her head slowly. He pats her in the head and she looked up at him.
"Good job. You and Roberta did us a huge favor there." She blushed and blinked a few times.
"Wait. How did you…" Yuni asked him.
"Roberta is a Sniper. Plus, that distance and angle could only come from that cliff over there. And, I can sense her energy," Suskian told Yuni, "Nice teamwork." Hearts appeared in Yuni's eyes as she received praise from Suskian. She then shook her head quickly to snap herself out of it.
"Mihara! Is she okay?!" Yuni asked Suskian and he points behind Yuni to show that the others were okay… A bit burned and scratched, but relatively okay.
"Go greet your friend. I gotta go help Melina with Dakimu," Suskian told her and flew off to the direction of Melina and Dakimu's battle. Mihara went over to Yuni and she hugs Yuni, who hugged Mihara back.
"Thanks, Yuni. That looked a bit hairy there," Mihara told her.
"You're welcome. What happened…? Where did that Rapture come from…?" Yuni asked Mihara as the small group went over to greet Yuni and Roberta as Roberta came running over. Rapi stared at Roberta and Roberta stops and flinched while chucking nervously and waving to Rapi.
"Sorry about earlier… Things got a bit… Heated, I admit," Roberta told Rapi and Rapi sighed.
"It's fine. Don't let it happen again," Rapi said seriously, "I didn't know you had sexual urges that strong…"
"Normally I have them under control. I was always that sexually active, even when I was alive and human," Roberta told Rapi, "I'm bi, anyway. But, I'll save it for later. Hopefully, things can go back to normal." Yuni sniffed the air and blinked a few times.
"The sweet smell is gone. Was that Rapture causing it?" Yuni asked as she looked at the others.
"Yes, but it was made by someone," Tsubasa said as she sheathed her sword.
"We'll explain on the way," IF said as she glanced at the group.
"Right. Let's go help Suskian and Melina," Mihara said seriously. The Nikke ran off to the direction of where Suskian flew off.
Meanwhile
Melina skids to a stop and twirled her Black Knife in her right hand, holding it in front of her as she stood straight. Dakimu giggled as she wiped the blood from her cheek from a thin knife cut she suffered from Melina.
"Not bad for a human. You're better than I thought… No wonder Suskian married you," Dakimu said with a smirk, "Saiyan males love strong women."
"Even if that were the case, my beloved would never try and mate with someone so heinous as you," Melina said as she slowly walks to the side, sizing up Dakimu as Dakimu did the same to her.
"A Saiyan like him is rare… Even rarer than Son Goku or Prince Vegeta. But, unlike them… He is more emotional, which makes him better in every way," Dakimu told her and charged at Melina, who snaps her fingers in front of her. The golden tree shot out of the ground in front of Dakimu and the roots of the tree ensnared her and held her in the air. Melina sighed and walked towards Dakimu, who tried but failed to break free from her root snares.
"Rare or not, he is my beloved husband. And, I may share him with other women, but I won't share him with the likes of you. He is too pure hearted for your evil ways," Melina told Dakimu as her knife blade began burning with black flames, "His spirit is what drew ne to him… His undying willpower and loyalty… His strong ego… His caring ways… Everything. You only want him for his power. And, I cannot allow your shallow views to taint him. I shall grant you… Destined Death." As Melina began to use the Incantation, she stops as she hears voices coming towards them. It wasn't the voices she is familiar with, though…
"What the hell are you doing, you old bat?! You said you can handle those Nikke!" a male voice called and a large red slash wave raced at Melina. Melina immediately parries it upwards and backflips away. As she parries, the golden tree released Dakimu and the Demon retreats with a scowl on her face.
"Shut up, Jira! I underestimated the Finger Maiden, so I was outmatched greatly!" Dakimu snarled as a group of people that looked similar to Dakimu lands on the ground and stood in front of Dakimu. Melina immediately got ready to fight but stopped as she recognized one of them. One that was dressed in a black dress cloak with a hood over her head…
"…Fia? Deathbed Companion Fia? How are you alive? Did D not kill you in the Deeproot Depths back in the Lands Between?" Melina asked in confusion. The one named Fia turned to Melina and removed her hood, showing her blonde hair and green eyes.
"Melina… I see. Is he with you…?" Fia asked her and Melina went silent at this, "I understand if you don't want to tell me, but I want to know-"
"After what you tried to do to him, I won't ever trust you again. Nor will I ever let you near him…" Melina said in a dangerous tone.
"Your feelings for him are misguided, Melina. Please, just leave him… He will cast you aside-" Fia said and Melina swipes her knife in front of her, a red-black slash wave charging towards Fia. The slash wave was blocked by a black Ki shield that canceled it out, surprising Melina.
"The lady speaks facts, Finger Maiden. Your so called *Beloved* isn't a Saint nor is he a loyal husband," one of the beings said seriously, "He has many women surrounding him constantly. He can get anyone he wants, and he settled for someone who can't bear him a child." Melina went silent, her anger boiling over.
"At least Dakimu or Fia would bear him a powerful child. What can you give him?" The knife in her hand began glowing reddish black as her anger raged from their words. Suddenly, a large red fireball slams into the group and the same black Ki shield canceled it out. Suskian lands on the ground next to Melina and held her shoulders.
"Are you okay- Meli? You're… Enraged," Suskian said softly as he looked at her. Melina closed her eyes and took deep breaths, turning to him.
"Beloved… It's nothing. We'll talk later," Melina told Suskian as she brought her free right hand up to his left cheek. Suskian stared at her before nodding his head, turning forward to see the group of people vanish into thin air.
"Okay, they're gone. So that means there are more than one person from our dimension that are making their own version of Raptures," Suskian said as he looked at Melina, "We know of Dakimu being the headliner of that… And, Demigra is still around, somehow. There is a lot to unpack here."
"Fia is here, too…" Melina said slowly and Suskian covers his face and sighed.
"Of course. I thought I saw her when I threw the fireball," Suskian sighed heavily, "That's why you were angry…"
"Not just that… I'm just reminded again and again that I can't give you the family you deserve…" Melina said softly as she turned away. Suskian looked at her and saw her sad face and quickly held her close.
"Hey, hey… Don't ever think that. I don't care about not starting a family like that. You are the planets to my sun… You're always around me. I need you there because you complete me," Suskian told her softly and Melina hugs him tightly, "I told you when we got married that you don't need to worry about stuff like pregnancy… I will love you regardless."
"Suskian…" Melina said softly, "How are you so damn amazing…?"
"Because of you…" Suskian told her softly.
"It's times like these that I wonder if our marriage should be open… But, I know you come back to me no matter what. And, that makes me happy," Melina told him as she looked at him. They then went back as the others caught up to them. Seems this night ended in new revelations… New faction, more Raptures… And, a new form of infection for Nikke. This is gonna be a hell of a report…
