RE: Mario's High School Days

​

Spoiler: Selene's Team

Selene was somewhat taken aback. Her sister just said... but surely not?
"Gave up? But..." she began, before noticing the almost-tearful manner in which Luna had said it. Selene understood; it wasn't that she had wanted to give up, but that she had no confidence in her ability anymore.
“Luna...” she said quietly, determined to make her sister have renewed confidence, even if they had only just met up again after so long.
“Battle me.”

There was silence between them for a moment, before Luna stepped back, confused as to why her sister was challenging her suddenly. But Selene's expression was serious, and it didn't change.
“One versus one. Burbear against Necturna. If you're as bad as you think, then the type disadvantage shouldn't matter, right?”
As she spoke, she reached to her belt to take out one of her pokéballs, this one marked with a small green-and-purple shape on the ''forehead'' of the container. Luna recognised it almost instantly as the ball that one of Selene's favourites was stored inside of; the Grass-Ghost type Moru-exclussive Pokémon, Necturna. Even if Selene hadn't told her who she would be using already, it would have been obvious.

“I can't force you to keep going, Luna.” Selene said, looking directly into her sister's eyes. “But I can get you to prove to yourself that you're good enough to keep going.”

~~Underground~~

​

Digging holes was life's treasure.
This was truly what Andy W. Hol, one of the pilots of Aquaria M, believed. His power, to create holes in any material by finding and attacking the weak points in it all in one go, supported his theory, and with his will and his power combined, he had been digging tunnels ever since he was a child. There were small tunnels all over Tokyo, most of them made in secret, all made of them made by him. They were just big enough for somebody to sneak around underground like this. But this tunnel was different. This one was bigger than the ones he usually made, and he was curious.
This was how Andy lived his life, alone. Alone that is, until he heard those voices.

"Hey! You!"
"B-Bro! Don't do that! It might be a rancor!"

He didn't recognise those voices. They weren't people he knew, but they were all up in his hole already. Andy found himself almost wanting to kick them out... but at the same time, they were in his hole. Maybe they were like him?

"Hey, what's up with you two?" he called back to them, greeting them with a smile.
"You fall in here? Sorry about that! I might've dug a little close to the surface back there. You aren't hurt, right?"
He stood up and turned towards them, but before he got right up to them, he noticed the shorter one's appearance. He knew for sure that this person was like him.
"Hey, you there. Uh... short kid. You're exactly like me, aren't ya?" he said, looking at him, his grin growing larger. "You're a digger at heart, just like me! Man, being underground like this must be just what your nature led you to, right? Let me show you some of the stuff I found down here."
Rummaging in his pockets, Andy found a small gemstone there, green and shining like some sort of star.
"Pretty nice, huh? It's something I found recently. One of my favourites."
He thought for a long moment as Simon appeared to admire it. In response, Andy took ahold of his wrist, opened up his hand, and placed the gemstone in it.
"Keep it. Consider it a token of our kinship as diggers! The name's Andy. Andy W. Hol. I'm an Element user of Nintendo High."

"So in other words he wasn't doing it out of his own free will, but rather he was doped up by you and thus wasn't in control of his own actions, now I understand everything...thank you for the answer, we'll see you at Thanksgiving dearest Croire." Histoire explained calmly before she hung up the phone and smiled. Nepgear and Uni's eyes widened at what they had heard before the two of them scrambled away from their mother's room and back into Uni's room locking the door behind them as they stared at one another.​

"I dunno what's got you all worked up, I actually like this song!" Neptune shouted as she moved her body and bobbed her head in time with the music before Shiro shouted "This isn't music, it's more like someone took their cat and placed it in a blender before playing Metallica and ACDC over the racket of the shreaded cat!" as she shivered and covered her ears with Vert adding in "That's an awfully specific metaphor Shiro-Chan" just as Noire started to join in the dancing commenting "Hey, it's not too bad once you get used to it" while Pururut took off her shades.​

 

Croire's House:



Croire hung up the phone rather confused. "Well that was the weirdest thing ever." "Wh-what was?" "My stupid sister. I wonder why she'd bring up that worthless man of hers. Anyway, it's none of your business! Did you put that shelf in the proper place?" "U-um, well...it's really heavy and I..." Croire hopped up onto the back of a chair and smacked the silver haired young woman on her head with a closed fist, "Idiot!"
Glitter:






Vert's eyes couldn't focus with the blinding and flashing shades of light pulsing from green to purple to yellow and orange and blue. The timing on the color change was completely random as well as the order of the changing colors. Someone shoved the girls from behind, forcing them further into the large room. Noire held a hand to her head, "What is this?" She looked around at the blissfully happy dancing people and started to laugh, "Hehehehe...what is wrong with these people?" A group of men wandered over to them, they looked dazed and their smiles were lazy, "Hey...you ladies are really pretty.... Oh wow...is your friend high already? Hey...I heard that it feels really good when you're high. You wanna come with us?" Noire struggled to take them seriously, "Are you nuts?" "My sister doesn't want to go anywhere with you. And what do you mean high? We haven't taken anything." They gave her a funny look, "High on the lights, girly. What...you came here and didn't know about it? Dude...you stumbled on something good. Wait, how did you get in if you didn't know?" Vert looked to her twin, "We have a membership card. The nice man at the front gave it to us." Their jaws dropped, "Virus gave one to you? Oh man....these chicks are awesome."
Space for Lease: Kabukicho District:

Spoiler

Breaking down the door to a long abandoned club that was going to be rented out sometime, the three ANBU members flooded inside, turning their heads to survey the entire room. "Spread out...find him." They nodded and hurried off in opposite directions. Hearing a scream, all three converged on the dance floor. They stopped just inside the room and started at the white haired man holding two children to his sides, "AH....you came. I knew you would. It's such a shame...this..." The ANBU tensed as he moved one hand to cup the little girl's cheek. She whimpered, lifting dark brown eyes up to their masked faces. "Where is my dear brother?" "We don't know who that is...or where he is. Albedo Piazzolla...come quietly or we'll have to use force. Let the children go first." He looked down on them and smiled, "Now why would I do that? No...I'll let them go...yes. I'll let them go to join my sweets in the afterlife." "Now, Tenzo!" One of them clapped his hands together, "Wood Style: Silent Strangle Jutsu!" Holding out his arm, it quickly transformed and extended as a branch of wood, wrapping around Albedo. "Children, come on!" The little ones shook off Albedo's now restrained grip and ran to the Wood Style using ANBU member's side. "Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll!" A bird rose up from a scroll the shorter ANBU member held and flew out the door, "Our coordinates and details will be given to Taicho..." Pulling off his mask and hood to let fluffy silver hair poof up and a Sharingan eye blaze forth, the ANBU member patted Tenzo's shoulder once as he approached Albedo, "Senpai?"



"Don't worry. Now...tell me where the other children are. Where did you hide them?!" "Hm? I don't have any other children. In fact....if you hadn't come...these two would've ended up just like the others." He stopped and shut one eye, leaving his Sharingan to stare into Albedo's eyes, "You've done enough talking for now." Staring at the Sharingan, Albedo's head dropped to his chest as he fell under his Genjutsu. "There were others...he said so himself. Let's leave it to the others to rummage around in his head. C'mon...let's take him back to--" "Fooled you." "What?" "Senpai, look out!" Albedo tore through the wood holding him and clawed out towards Kakashi. Ducking, Kakashi leapt back to maintain distance from him. Opening his mouth, Albedo spit out a half bitten off tongue and flicked his newly regrown tongue across his lips, "I would've never known Kakashi Hatake was the one behind all those investigations into me. I see why they call you the Copy Ninja...but can you copy enhanced cellular growth?" The three took a step back, keeping the children out of his line of sight.

"Huh? Noire..wh..what did that man say...pffft hahahahahaha" Neptune asked as one of her eyes was half shut with a lazy smile before she looked at Noire and said "You should go with one of those guys...then when they're not looking...like, steal their money" causing Noire to lay a arm around Nep's shoulder and she explained "Nep, Neppy, Nep-Nep, Neptune...that would be...like...not a good idea cause then...like the Popo will arrest us and we will have to be below his stool...pffft". Vert looked at the clearly high CPUs before she said "And this is why you shouldn't do drugs, kiddies...haha" while she started to dance and bump butts with Pururut leaving Blanc and Shiro speechless.​

 

-Gullwings Apartment-

chaos went to his room while Bartz yawned and went to his room, falling on his bed to sleep. chaos looked out his window and wondered what was going to happen tomorrow, and sighed, closing his curtain. Paine sat in her room, thinking about her past and sighed. In Yuri's room, Rikku looked at her outfit, and said, "Oh, this is just the one I chose to wear. Is it too revealing?" "Uh.... just a little." Yuri said, trying not to look at her. Rikku smiled and nodded, "I guess I'll ask Aerith to make me something a little comforting." Aerith waited in the shop.



-Hongo House-

Hearing a knock on his door, Tsukasa saw Sakura standing in the doorway, wearing a nightgown. "Tsukasa, is everything alright? Everything okay?" "Oh, yes, Miss Hongo, everything is okay. Just couldn't sleep, What happened today is still on my mind." 'I need to hide the fact that I know Miss Hongo, Miss Kamazi,, and Miss Ichimonji are Riders.' Sakura nodded and closed his door, heading to her room. Tsukasa kept sitting on his bed, thinking about how to tell the others.



-Gokaiger House-

When everyone was done, Basco went to his room and laid on his bed, thinking about what happened today. Luka went to her room and looked at her cell phone, still wondering if Ashe was okay, Ahim went to join her and comfort her about her worry. Joe went back to his brench pressing while Don and Gai cleaned up the table and went to the kitchen to clean the dishes. Marvelous sat in his chair and relaxed.



-Detective Agency-

Shotaro gently stroked Hermione's cheek and smiled as he watched her sleep. He thought to himself, 'Maybe it won't be so bad with her as the chief, but I never thought someone like her to be the chief.' He went to the investigation room and noticed Philip crying. Immediately running to his partner, he asked, "Philip, are you alright?! Everything okay?!"

"Shotaro, I'm fine. Just thinking about everyone we met and how we tried to protect the city with them while looking up some subjects in the Gaia Library. And was thinking about my family." Philip said, wiping his eyes and smiling at Shotaro. Shotaro smiled and sat with his partner.



-Fang's House-

"Hey, Vanille. I'm the one making the jokes here." Fang said, hands in her pockets. Sirius looked at her and said, "And I appreciate it, Fang. But with what happened, sometimes joking doesn't help a lot." Sirius said, sighing. Vanille smiled and said, "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" "I would love it, thank you, Vanille." Sirius said, coming in as Fang closed the door.

-Tokyo Underground-​

​

"Hey, what's up with you two?" he called back to them, greeting them with a smile.
"You fall in here? Sorry about that! I might've dug a little close to the surface back there. You aren't hurt, right?" Asked a young man further into the tunnel.​

"Nah, I'm fine...My ass is a little sore from the drop, though..." Kamina responded, rubbing his bruised hind-quarters.​

"I'm okay too..."​

The young man stood up and walked toward Kamina and Simon.​

He seemed to be eyeing Simon for some odd reason.​

"Hey, you there. Uh... short kid. You're exactly like me, aren't ya?" he said, looking at him, his grin growing larger. "You're a digger at heart, just like me! Man, being underground like this must be just what your nature led you to, right? Let me show you some of the stuff I found down here."​

"A...Digger?" Simon asked while the young man rummaged through his pockets.​

"Y'know...I think this guy's right. Digging's in your blood, ain't it? Your old man used to be a miner. He spent most of his days underground."​

Simon thought for a moment...It's true that his father was a miner, but Simon had rarely been underground in his life.​

Then again...Being inside of this tunnel felt very natural to him, as if he belonged there.​

Finally, the young man took out a small green gemstone.​

Simon looked at it in awe. It was so beautiful!​

"Pretty nice, huh? It's something I found recently. One of my favourites."​

"Yeah! It's so shiny and beautiful!"​

"Little jewels like that usually ain't my type o' thing, but I gotta say that's one cool lookin' gem."​

Just then, the young man took Simon by the wrist, opened his hand and placed the gemstone in it.​

"Keep it. Consider it a token of our kinship as diggers! The name's Andy. Andy W. Hol. I'm an Element user of Nintendo High."​

"W-Wow...Thanks! My name is Simon. Nice to meet you, Andy. I go to Nintendo High, too."​

"And I'm..."​

Kamina tossed his shirt to the side in a badass manner, as he usually does on a daily basis, before pointing his manly finger towards the tunnel's ceiling.​

"The Mighty Kamina! I'm Nintendo High's most badass student! In fact, I even helped ward off those smelly aliens who were scoopin' up all the chicks not too long ago!"​

"All you did was yell at them..."​

"And wouldn't ya know it, they ran off, wettin' their little alien pants the whole way home!"​

"..."​

Just then, the drill necklace the Simon wore began to glow a light green for a moment before fading.​

This glow-fade pattern repeated over and over, along with a deep noise being heard every time the drill lit up.​

"Wh-What the!?"​

"What's goin' on? Your necklace just started glowing."​

"I...I don't..."​

Simon then noticed something up ahead. In the wall of the tunnel, something else was glowing.​

Everything about the glow was exactly the same. The pattern, the color. The only difference was that the glow coming from the wall was brighter.​

Simon was afraid to go over and check it out...His necklace had never done that before...​

He remembered back to the day his father brought it home. He said he had found it in the mines while he was working, but didn't know what it was for.​

Could that light be what the yellow drill on Simon's neck was used for?​

"Go ahead, Simon."​

"H-Huh?"​

Simon looked up at Kamina.​

"It's just like Andy said, you're a digger at heart. That drill is your soul! So whatever's over there isn't just connected to your drill, it's connected to your soul!"​

"It's connected...To my soul?"​

Simon looked back towards the green light in the distance.​

He was still scared, but he knew he had to go check it out. He had to do it for his father.​

"Okay, Dad...Today I'm gonna find out what your gift really is!"​

Simon then began to hesitantly walk towards the light, his fear of what was over there only growing.​

Finally, he reached the source. Through a hole in the wall, he could see what looked to be a closed eye.​

"See anything, Simon?" Kamina asked from afar.​

"It's just...An eye." Simon said before touching it.​

It had a cold, metallic exterior.​

He rubbed his hands across the dirt surrounding the eye, revealing more and more of it.​

As he removed the thin layer of dirt from whatever was there, it was revealed that it was more than an eye, but rather an entire face.​

"Bro, Andy, I found a face!"​

"A face...?"​

"I'm gonna try and dig it out. Just gimme a sec." Simon said before unbuttoning his shirt and removing it.​

He then began to dig deeper into the dirt with his bare hands.​

It took a while, but finally Simon had dug around the face enough to reveal that it was actually a small mecha.​

The console on the inside was glowing the same color as Simon's drill.​

Simon also noticed a dirty, folded piece of paper strapped to one of the handles with a rubber band.​

Unwrapping and unfolding the note, Simon dusted it off as he began to read.​

He couldn't believe what he was reading...It was from his father!​

​

Spoiler: The Note

Simon,

I don't know how long it will be before you read this, if you even read this at all, but if you are reading this, then you've probably found the mine that I used to work in. It probably also means that I'm not around anymore. As I write this, the mine is caving in, and there's not much time left. I wish I could come home and see you and your mother one last time, so I can tell you how much you both mean to me. But enough of that, there isn't time. First I have to apologize. I lied to you about not knowing the function of the small drill that I gave you. It's actually called a Core Drill, and it serves as the key to the Gunman that you found this note in. Just insert it into the hole on the console and turn it. Everything else should make sense of itself from there. The Gunman's name is Lagann, by the way, but you can name it whatever you like. I found Lagann myself in a different mine years ago, and have been using it to dig up different things in this mine for years, but now I leave it to you. Before I go, there are a few more things I'd like to say. One, try and stay away from that Kamina kid. I hear he's a real troublemaker. Secondly, if you ever meet a boy named Joey Jones, be sure to tell him that your old man knew his dad, and that Mr. Jones was an amazing man. Finally, I just want to say that I love you, Simon. You're the best son a father could have. Give my love to your mother for me, too.

Love,
Papa

Simon's hands were trembling and his eyes were flooding with tears as he read this.
"D-Dad..."
Just then, Kamina approached Simon.
"What's the matter, Simon? Is something wrong with the face-thing?"
Kamina then noticed the note in Simon's hands.
"What's this note?"
Kamina quickly read the note, noticing the bottom where the original writer's name was written.
"So it's from your old man...Simon. Stop crying. This isn't what your dad would want."
Simon looked up at Kamina, tears still rolling down his face.
"Listen, Simon, do you think your old man would want his son sobbin' his eyes out? Hell no. He would want you to get in that thing and make a difference in the world."
"He's dead, Bro...Both of my parents are dead...How could someone who's dead want anything?"
"Dead? Who the hell said they were dead!? Your mom's been with you your whole life, and you just now found your dad, too!"
"Wh...What?"
"Right here, Simon. Your mom's been with you here." Kamina said as he grabbed Simon's core drill.
"In...My drill?"
"Exactly. And your dad lives on in Lagann. He's been sittin' here in the ground just waiting for you to find him. And now that you have, the whole family's back together."
"The whole family..." Simon said to himself.

Spoiler: BGM

Simon looked closely at his Core Drill. He could see his mother's face clearly in his mind.
He then looked at Lagann. He could see his father's face just as clearly.
He looked back up at Kamina.
"You're...You're right, bro!"
Kamina smiled.
"That's the spirit! Now hop in that thing and let's see what it can do!"
Simon nodded before folding the note back up and placing it in his pocket, along with the green gem that Andy had given him.
He hopped inside Lagann, removing the Core Drill from the string it was attached to.
A vivid image of Simon, his mother, and his father was visible in his head.
Simon inserted the Core Drill into Lagann's ignition, and turned it.
A spiraling energy meter began to fill up around the ignition.
Lagann's eyes and mouth opened wide, green light shining brightly from them.
"This...This is...!"
Two arms then folded out from Lagann's back, followed by two legs emerging from the bottom of it.
"It's working!" Simon said loudly.
Suddenly, Lagann's thrusters engaged, sending Lagann and Simon flying around the inside of the inside of the tunnel wildly.
"How do I stop this thiiiiiing!?"
Suddenly, Simon had the instinctive feeling to pull back on the handles.
Doing so, Lagann's feet began to grind into the ground, slowing it down.
Finally, Lagann came to a halt, Simon breathing heavily after the experience.
"Simon...THAT WAS AWESOME!"
"How did my dad use this thing if it does that!?"
Kamina looked back at Andy.
"Yo, Andy, you're a digger, right? You got yourself a Lagann too?"

 

~Gullwing's Apartment~

"A little? More like alot more comforting!" Yuri thought but then he was still a growing man with hormones so it was no wonder there, besides, he could learn to appearicate the sight.

~Hongo House~

Tsukasa took a few moments to gather his thoughts. "I'll notify Zordon and the others tomorrow, that is of course, if they'd believe it." he thought to himself.

~Detective Agency~

Shotaro smiled at his partner. "Yeah partner, but we gotta keep ourselves in the present if we ever hope to protect this city from weeping any more tears." he said witha rather firm resolve in his tone as he stared to Hermione's sleeping form. "For her sake too." He concluded.

~Fang's House~

Vanille gave a smile when Sirius entered the room and went to the poit that was filled with some tea already and brought out a cup to pour it in and she looked at Sirius. "Any sugar or milk?" She asked rather politely.

 

-Gullwings Apartment-

"I'll see if Aerith has made anything that suits me. I'm sure she'll have something in her room that will fit me." Rikku said, thinking about all the costumes that Aerith had designed and made her and Yuna in her spare time "Still, so sorry to surprise you like that. I just came to check on Yuna. But it is nice to see that you're looking well. Would you like it if Yuna stayed here?" She smiled, tucking some hair behind her ear.




-Hongo House-

Sakura stood at her window, thinking back to the time she was Kamen Rider Ichigo and friends with the Owner and Naomi. She smiled as she thought back to the times she shared with them. With a sigh, she closed her window and laid on her bed, thinking to herself, 'I hope I will find another Rider Pass and will get to see Naomi and Owner again.' Seki sat on her bed, thinking about the same as was Hinako in her room.




-Detective Agency-

Philip smiled and nodded, "Yes, we must focus on the present to keep the city from shedding any more tears, for Mione-chan's sake." 'And with the help from the Rangers and Gokaigers. Especially from Kimberly, Ahim, and Luka,' He thought to himself, looking at Hermione's sleeping form. He smiled and wiped his eyes from his remaining tears, closing his book.



-Fang's House-

"Sugar, please." Sirius told her, finding a place to sit down. Fang took a can of pop from the fridge and sat down, she asked, "How's bird brain?" "Ankh? He's fine." Sirius said, Fang kept quiet and sipped her soda, before belching. Sirius facepalmed, "Nice to see some things never change."

 

-Dorms-

"...Alright..." Luna said hestantly. She unbuckled a Pokéball, then put it back almost instantly. "A-actually... Burbear and I need a bit to prepare for this... We haven't battled in a while, okay?" She gulped. "He took the last loss we had pretty hard... So... Yeah... Sorry."

-Gullwings apartment-

The TARDIS landed in the middle of the apartment. "Is this where you needed to go? What a lovely house!" He noticed everyone looking at him weirdly. "Oh, hello, I'm the Doctor! I came to drop off Tidus."

Melody let out a breath.

 

~Tidus~

Tidus was still trying to understand what just happened, he went into a blue box that was bigger on the inside, which shouldn't be possible yet it did and now they moved from Nintendo High to the Apartment by simply being in it? one thing was for certain, he wasn't going to try and logically explain it.

~Yuri~

Yuri took a moment to process what Rikku said, did she mean that girl from before to stay here rather than her? or did she think of something different among those lines? He had to admit, Rikku did somehow have a charm about her but he wasn't very interested in it, probably because of his constant travelling and hearing voices in his head was more important at the time.

"Uh, no, that's quite alright, I'm sure she has other things to attend-" he said before being cut off by an most unusual sound almost like whooshing and he blinked, wondering what the hell it was.

~Sirius's House~

From above Fang's room, a yell could be heard. "Eiji! That's my ice cream!" He said in most annoyed shout possible, yup, someone had taken the sacred yumminess that is ice cream away from him.

Vanille looked up as she brought the tray of tea to Sirius and sat down. "Looks like another one of those days huh?" She said with a small giggle, Ankh and Eiji always seemed to the liven the place up.

 

-Gullwings Apartment-

Yuna woke up and ran into the room, smiling at Tidus. "Tidus, I was so worried about you!!! I got your phone call but I was still worried." Rikku smiled, "Wow, Bartz was right. Tidus really did appear from a big blue box!" "Yes, I guess he was right. Well, thank you for the compliment on the apartment and bringing Tidus here, Doctor." Aerith said, coming into the room after hearing the noise. chaos smiled and nodded, standing in his room.



-Sirius's House-

"Yes, it's going to be one of those days." Sirius said, taking his tea cup and sipping it, Fang smiled and said, "Yup, sounds like bird brain is doing okay." Sirius smiled and nodded, Eiji's voice was heard, "No way, Ankh! You have plenty more. If you behave during the service tomorrow, I will make sure that you will get some ice cream. Promise." "I'm surprised that the kid is able sleep through that noise." Fang said, sipping her soda. "How did you meet Eiji and bird brain?" "It's been so long, I can't remember how I met Eiji." Sirius said



-Tokyo Airport-

Stepping off the plane from London, there was one boy with pulled back blond hair and ice blue eyes. Smiling, he said, "Ah, Tokyo, Japan. I hope those simple fools at Nintendo High is ready for the king, me. Now, I must find my escort." While he went to look around, James and the Wilys came off the plane, the Wilys wore cloaks to hide their tails, James smiled at their eagerness and led them to the terminal.

 

Vert smiled at the advancing men, their grubby fingers reaching for Vert and her sisters when a gust of wind blew through the open door. Standing in the doorway was a rather unusual bunch. The men blinked and stared as their brains dully registered the new guests. "You're all better off stepping away from the girls before we have to hurt you." "I don't see how breaking a few limbs could ruin their lives any more than it already is. Hmph...why even bother issuing the threat when you'll just have to move them anyway?"

Spoiler

From the door stood four men... Vert gaped in wonder, "Tsukiyomi Ikuto...Kaname Kuran...Senri Shiki...and Professor Sasori?! My, I didn't think three handsome men would come to save us. You're all from my sisters' school aren't you?" Senri shot her an indifferent look and stepped forwards, "Seriously, if I get a single stain of blood on my shirt you'll be hearing from my agent." "Yes, yes...just get the job done. Cleanly, I might add." Each of the men nodded but only Senri and Ikuto stepped further into the dance area. "C'mon...we're leaving with you all." Noire set her hands on her hips, "And why would we go with any of you! First of all...none of you look even old enough to be in this place!" "You're one to talk... C'mon...let's just leave." Ikuto took hold of her arm and tugged lightly. Kaname placed himself between the girls and the men, "Get lost." It was all that he needed to say and the men scrambled backwards, fleeing into the crowd of dancing people. He turned towards the girls with glowing red eyes and simply glared at them. Vert turned her gaze away from the threatening Kaname's cold glare and past Senri's distracted indifference towards Sasori speaking with the woman that had accompanied them. "Who's that?" She would have to wonder to herself as no one seemed willing to answer. "So you believe your end of the bargain is paid in full, hm? Are you really that naive?" The black haired woman tapped the end of her pipe against her lips, "Let's just say I'm not entirely sure about that one's motive. But...when he reveals his hand I'll know it," She smiled down at Sasori's frown and patted his head, "Oh don't look so down in the mouth, Sasori, you'll give yourself wrinkles! Oh, who am I kidding, you're not even alive anymore...are you?" He continued to frown, "You believe you know all the hidden corners of everyone. It makes me sick how pathetic you are." Her smile vanished and she flicked her fingers against his chest, "You should have more respect. You do still owe me for what I did for you." At that, Sasori flinched, though only slightly. "Devious woman."

 

~Glitter~​

​

"Well, it's about damn time someone stepped in and dealt with this situation, I mean just look at my twin over there" Shiro explained as she pointed at Blanc who was wobbling about hatless as she danced in time to the odd beat of the music, Vert was dancing with Noire as Blanc's white hat sat on top of her blonde hair as she said aloud "Hey Pururut, I'm glad you found this place because it's rather interesting" with Noire giggling like crazy. Neptune wobbled about and bumped into Sasori before falling on her rump with her head rolling about dizzily laughing "Woah man, I'm seeing...like five of you guys running around" with Noire adding in "Neeeeeeeeep, get awaaaaaaay from them...they're trying to do...like, stuff" causing Vert to burst out in laughter, Pururut stood in the middle of thee floor weaving and dancing about as her mind focused on the sounds and lights that glinted off of her sunglasses.​

Having watched the whole thing, Andy was in slight shock from what Simon had unexpectedly found down here; a face-like mecha that seemed perfect for digging. The fact that Andy, a man with a power that assisted with digging, happened to be around when such a thing happened seemed almost like fate, or perhaps it really was sheer coincidence. But whatever it was, Andy was interested in sticking around with this pair. Quickly, he pulled out two tickets, both marked with his phone number, and threw them to the duo.
"You two are naturals to the underground, yo." he said with his trademark grin still on his face. "What's say together we make a name for ourselves?"
He threw an arm over each of the boys, standing between the pair (and Lagann) as he delved more into his idea.
"Think about it. The Digging Brothers of Nintendo High! Between Simon's Lagann, my Element, and Kamina's spirit, we could become local heroes! Heaps of treasure! TV appearances! Crowds of hot babes just throwing themselves at us! Just think about it, bros!"
"Do you just like, have your number pre-written down on these things?" Simon asked him when he paused for breath, causing Andy to sweatdrop suddenly.
"C'mon kid, you don't understand! When we have three smokin' girls under each arm, when would we have time to write out phone numbers for all of them? You've gotta think of the future, man! So come on, what do you say?!"

Spoiler: Selene's Team

Selene sighed. She had expected as much as this, but even so, hearing it was a little disappointing. But, Luna had said she would battle, just not right now, and she had never gone back on her word as long as she'd been alive, as far as Selene was aware. She trusted that Luna was going to fight her. Hell, even if she didn't want to, she was pretty certain that Burbear would drag her into it somehow.
"Alright." Selene accepted, still holding Necturna's Pokéball in her hand. "Well, in the meantime, why don't you show me where you're staying these days? I've gotta make sure my baby sister isn't hiding any boys in the closet!"

The black haired woman frowned at the Goddesses. Sasori reached down and hauled Neptune to her feet, "Shut up and come with me, brat." He flung his hand out towards Pururut and glowing blue chakra threads wrapped around her body, "Ikuto, keep hold of those two. Senri would you grab the others. Kaname...keep those two blond brats off us." Ikuto pulled an all too willing Vert and Noire towards the door. Senri picked up the two Blancs and tossed them over his shoulders, "If I get muscles from this, you're definitely going to hear from my agent." Kaname swept glowing red eyes around the dance floor and snatched the other Vert by her arm before sending her off towards the woman, "Don't make things difficult for me, alright?" He picked up the other Noire's hand and brushed his lips across her knuckles, "Let's leave this place... It's far too noisy." Sasori rolled hazel eyes and jerked his hand, pulling Pururut to him by the chakra threads he'd wrapped around her, "Let's go, Yuuko.... Yuuko? Where'd that damn woman go now?" Ikuto jerked his chin towards a corner where the black haired woman in question, with Vert, had tilted a man's head back and was speaking quietly to him. "What's she doing?" "....Making a deal. I swear she's not even waiting anymore."

 

~Outside Glitter~​

​

The CPUs were quietly dragged out of the building by the people who came after them with Pururut dizzily disengaging her HDD form just as soon as they were outside, Neptune quietly shook her head back to normal before she said "Wooow, that was one messed up trip, hey Noire are you alright?" shortly before Noire placed a hand on her head muttering "Yeah I'm fine, but I think I stared into the lights too long" as Pururut fell asleep standing up. "Hey Vert, hand me back my hat please, it's on your head" Blanc explained before Vert threw the hat at her, Blanc caught it and placed it on her head just as Vert asked in curiosity "So how did you guys know we were down here to begin with, did our mother send you to find us?" staring at the men with her head tilted as Shiro commented adding "It's probably some other thing we don't know about involving magic"​

 

Kabukicho District:

The men stood aside as Yuuko smiled at the girls, "You girls are Goddesses of those nifty little landmasses. You don't hide your souls very well." Noire stared at her like she was crazy, "Hide our souls?" "Hm...not even I've heard of that one. What does it mean?" Yuuko pushed back strands of her long black hair with a lazy hand and focused red eyes on them, "Do you want to know?" "No, actually...they don't. I'd rather not have them pay your price to learn something as pointless as that."

Yuuko turned and smiled, "OH, Virus and Trip...how nice to see you boys again. I see Morphine is doing well...as you own nearly half of Kabukicho already." Virus smiled and adjusted his glasses, "We're doing just fine, Miss Ichihara. But I don't have to tell you that...after all...aren't you always keeping an eye on us?" Yuuko's red eyes never left Virus' blue. "I couldn't possibly fathom what you mean, my dear. I'm just a simply merchant of wishes." Kaname stepped up beside Yuuko, his brown eyes fixed on Trip, who looked more of a current problem than Virus at the moment, "Did you come out here simply to prevent Miss Ichihara from making a living...or was there another reason?" Trip stuffed his hands into his pockets, "Yeah...you're taking our customers." "We simply wanted the girls to enjoy themselves a little." Kaname and Trip glared at each other for a long few seconds before Yuuko spoke again, "I know their mother quite well. Though, no, she didn't call me personally... I just knew you two were up to something devilish. I'm sure she'd be disappointed if I allowed them to stay there until they were like your other customers." Ikuto patted Shiro's head, "Nothing so fancy. I had Yoru follow your sister. She," he looked over at Neptune fondly, "Reminds me of someone I know. I thought you would know where she is now." Though anyone above the age of fifteen wouldn't be able to see it, a small sprite-like cat flew through the air to hug the side of Ikuto's face, "Ikutooooooo~! That girl flies waaaay too fast, nya! Keeping up was a real chore. Let's go home and sleep, nya." He nodded to his guardian's words and waved to Yuuko before cat ears and a tail popped onto his person like magic and he leapt into the darkness.

 

Meanwhile, somewhere...

Tira watched the CPU's from the shadows, resisting the urge to giggle too loudly. The things her jolly self noted were...

1. The CPU's are powerful
2. them and their friends would make excellent shields and sacrifices to Soul Edge
3. Akasuna is cute

having noted these very important and vital things, she continued to watch them... waiting... silently...

Meanwhile, somewhere else...

Bruce Wayne watched the city from the top of a skyscraper, except it wasn't Bruce... this was a dark night, watched over by a Dark Knight.
He kept his eyes peeled for any criminal activity, anything he could do to make Batman known to Tokyo, for this place was almost as bad as Gotham.
Actually, it was worse.
Having not seen anything, he glided over the streets and landed on another building, beginning his patrol in the night.
Calcutta, India.

Something was approaching Dr. Banner's house, and it was big... and had a big axe as well.
However, not much more could be said, as Ara had failed to fill in the characters sheet yet, but only realised he had forgotten halfway through making the post.

OOC: I apologise for the short post, but I didn't have much to do. I'll get more to do... later
