RE: Mario's High School Days

~Outside Glitter~​

​

"O-okay, did anyone see that cat fly by? Anyone? Okay must be my imagination then cause I saw a flying cat" Shiro replied stammering as she shook her head repeatedly before Blanc replied "Yeah, I saw a cat, but that's not the point" causing Shiro to nod saying calmly "Yes, c'mon Belle, Kuro, and the rest of you. Let's get into Pururut's car and get the heck out of this place". Vert tilted her head to the side asking "Kuro? Belle? Who are they?"" before Shiro added "Nicknames for the other Vert and Noire, it will reduce confusion" and Neptune interrupted adding "Yeah...slight problem, Pururut's asleep and none of us have liscences to drive legally...not even Pururut and she's asleep" causing Noire's eyes to open up wide asking "How did she get that car then if she didn't have a liscence to drive it" in confusion before Neptune simply shurgged "Beats me"​

~Underground~​

Without even taking a moment to think, Kamina answered first.​

"I know I'm in! C'mon, Simon, I can't join in without you!"​

Simon was silent for a moment.
"I...I dunno, bro..."
Simon seemed unsure for some reason.
"What's the matter, Simon? Just think about it! The fame! The babes! The money! THE BABES!"
While the thought of being mauled by hordes of girls wasn't as enticing to Simon as it was to Kamina and Andy, the thought of being able to help others with Lagann was very motivating.
"Okay...I'm in too."
A huge grin grew on Kamina's face.
"ALRIGHT! The Digging Brothers of Nintendo High is officially born!" Kamina yelled, his finger aiming skyward.
There were a few moments of awkward silence.
"Soooooo...See you tomorrow at school?" Andy asked.
"Sounds good to me."
"Same here."
And with that, the trio separated for the night. Kamina and Simon used Lagann to exit the tunnels, while Andy went back to his digging.

~Back at Simon's house..."

After saying his goodbyes to Kamina for the night and finding a place outside to park Lagann, Simon entered his house. He let out a sigh of exhaustion after the day's events.
"I met a new friend, and found my dad's last gift to me...What a day..."
As he entered the inner parts of his home, Simon noticed a woman in loose clothing laying on his couch, watching television and eating the custard-filled no-hole donuts that Simon had bought the day before, her face and upper chest covered in yellowish-white cream.
All was normal.
"Hi, Tamamo." Simon said as he took a seat on the floor next to the couch that the girl sat on, ignoring the suggestively gooey mess that covered her face.
"So how was your day?" Simon asked, despite the fact that he knew her day consisted of eating, sleeping, and the occasional bit of housework.

~Undisclosed Location~​

​

An odd looking man sat in his home, his hand on his gut as if he was feeling discomfort in his abdomen.​

"This feeling...Could it be?"​

"Father! Father!" Called the voice of a child.​

"What is it?"​

"I'm having that strange feeling in my pancreas that you spoke of before. Could it be what I think it is?"​

The man was silent for a moment as he thought.​

"Yes. The Spiral Relic has been unearthed by the blood-relative of the hero from years past."​

The son was also silent for a moment.​

"Is there a problem, son?"​

"Kinda...It's just that I didn't understand a single word that came out of your mouth just then."​

"Dammit, we rehearsed this! I meant that the face robot thing was dug up by the son of the guy who had it last time."​

"Ooooh, okay. So what now?"​

"We...We...Okay I didn't think we'd ever get this far, uhm..."​

"And you wonder why your mother hasn't spoken to you in years..."​

Sasori sighed and roughly pushed Pururut into the passenger seat and took her place behind the wheel. "Get in...now. I'll take them home. Miss Ichihara, please return to your shop so you don't get yourself attacked. The streets are dangerous at night," he smirked and shook red locks of hair from his eyes. Yuuko returned his smirk and turned her back on them, "Alright then boys...try not to scare the poor dears too much. Sasori...stop by the shop tomorrow and we'll talk about my end of your wish. I won't be there...but you Watanuki has been informed." Sasori's smirk faded and his face turned serious, "Alright..." Kaname remained standing between the girls and Virus and Trip. Vert and Noire hopped in the back, "Oooh, how fun, a road trip with a professor." Virus leaned to look over Kaname's shoulder, "You girls be good now...come back soon. That membership card doesn't have an expiration date." Senri shot them a cold stare as he pulled out his phone and hit speed dial one, "Bring the car around." Hanging up, a car sped around the corner and stopped behind Pururut's car. "This is my family's private car. Whoever doesn't fit in the first car you have can ride with Lord Kaname and myself. Lord Kaname...." he held the door open and Kaname motioned for some of the girls to get into the car. "Miss Ichihara...what is this wish Sasori made?" Yuuko paused, "I can't tell you that. You understand." His facial expression didn't change but the disappointment was written in his eyes.

Orihara Building:



Opening one eye, Izaya swept his gaze around his room quickly before swinging his legs over the edge of his bed. Quietly padding over to his massive computer in his room that controlled security camera's all throughout his house. "I thought I told you..." his fingers stopped on the keyboard, "not to involve yourself in something you don't fully understand." That same monotone voice...a voice that had started to pop up on him whenever he least expected it. "My...you sound like you're worried about little old me." Izaya expected to hear an exasperated sigh or...anything. He turned and scanned his empty room. "So...what about this is involved?" "You will be." Izaya smirked slightly, "Well that's a bit of information I didn't have. Do you have a when...a who...a why?" At those questions, Izaya felt a brief touch on his shoulder. He didn't dare move, "You know why. And it's because of that why that I haven't killed you in the years I've known you." Izaya shrugged, "There are plenty of why's... But...if you're going to sneak in you could make a little less noise." By the silence from his guest, he knew he'd touched a small nerve. "My apologies....I'll try to be quieter next time." A small clinking noise drew his attention to his board game. Unfortunately he hadn't turned on the light when he got up, so the only light in his room came from the computer monitors. He knew exactly who was in his room, but it was nice to see him once in a while. The light landed on white clothes and Izaya's smile widened, "See something interesting?" "Yes...this little star. You've had it for a while now...why place it on the board now?" "Something...told me to. But I'm not the best at following orders, but you know that." The body turned, but his face remained in the darkness, "Yes," his voice remained monotone...unmoved by whatever Izaya said, "It irritates me and interests me. Of all the humans in this country...there aren't many who are like you." Izaya relished this moment, "And of the humans that aren't like me?" He waited for the word that would make sparks run through his body simply for the thrill of someone who thought different than him, "Trash."

 

~Kabukicho District~​

​

Shiro jumped into Pururut's car and sat beside Kuro muttering under her breath "I'm just simply glad we're out of that strange place and are heading back home now, never again do I want to see Thunder Tits high and acting crazy while wearing my twin's hat along with Neptune, Noire, and Blanc" shortly before she shivered at the thought of it getting worse than that. Meanwhile Neptune, Noire, Vert, and Blanc quietly stared at Virus and Trip closely before they all huddled into the back of the private car and all sat with each other, neither of the four said a word as each of them thought about the club, its' owners, the membership card, and the lights that made them high, Vert was the first to speak up saying quietly "You know what we should do when we get back home, we should play a game together" with Noire asking "Vert, what kind of game should we play?" "We should play a game where we work together" "Working together?" "Now now, we can't leave our sisters out of it" "Hey *******, unless we have a LAN connection or Wifi then we can't play with more than eight players TOPS" "Blanc, calm your potty-mouth. I am sure we will figure out a way to do it"​

 

Kabukicho District -- Residential Area:



Kaname and Senri sat quietly with the four Goddesses as they drove them back to their house. "Sir...is it wise to leave the manor at this time?" The driver spoke to Kaname sitting in the back with the Goddesses. He had closed his eyes and crossed his arms the second he sat down. Opening brown eyes, Kaname slowly responded, "It's alright. Yuki is home with Haruka and Juri. I trust them to protect her. Plus..." he turned his gaze on the girls, "I wanted to discuss something with you four." Reaching into his pocket, Kaname pulled out three photos and handed them to the girls, "Shizuka Hio, Maria Kurenai, and Ichiru Kiryu. You've met them before. These three placed themselves into your school... Two as students and...who knows where Shizuka is in this." he flicked the tip of his finger against the picture of Ichiru, "The next time you see this boy...kill him. If you don't...he won't give you another chance to. Ichiru Kiryu is a vampire hunter who has aligned himself with a Pure-blood vampire that is placed on the hunters' list. Eliminate him and I'll take care of Shizuka." Kaname sighed and leaned to stare out the window at the passing buildings, "I'm only asking this of you four...try not to involve the others. It'll become a mess if too many of you are involved, asking questions...getting yourselves killed. I'm trusting you four: Neptune, Blanc, Vert and Noire; to kill Ichiru Kiryu before he has a chance to kill you." Senri lowered his head, since he was sitting in the front, his expression could only be guessed. Kaname slowly lifted a hand and covered his left eye, "Tell me...what was it like when you first met Shizuka? She is the Madly Blooming Princess...the power of her pure vampire blood gives her impressive powers. I'm sure you felt it when you met her. She had met Gust at the time you saw her... What her reason for confronting Gust is unknown even to me." He turned gentle eyes on the girls, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. Don't worry about Ichiru until the next time you have school. I'll leave how you proceed after that up you to four." His smile and calm eyes worked to portray the sincerity of his words but inside he was seething. Shizuka Hio had dared to awaken again and toss chaos into his life once more. But why? Rido was dead, Zero was away on hunting missions with Cross and no longer held any interest in Shizuka. 'What is the reason you would come here? Tokyo is hardly the place for a vampire like her to dwell without drawing attention to herself. Even I have had trouble keeping the humans at bay. And why now?'

Orihara building:/END




Izaya burst into a fit of laughter at the simple word. "You call them trash and yet you don't wipe them off the face of the earth! It's simply divine! They are trash! But I love them all the same!" Izaya twirled in place and held his hand out at his sides, "Down to their deepest, darkest, most disgusting and filthy secrets....they're simply fascinating!" His guest watched him with humorless eyes, "You've told me before....they are pawns to use in your war. What kind of war?" Izaya, grinning away, quickly walked over to his guest and plucked the black crystal star from his hands, "A war only I can win. I haven't given up on that, be assured." "You don't seem to be the fighting type." "And you don't seem to be the kind to ask questions, and yet here you are. Do you doubt me? Ulquiorra...?"

Spoiler

Ulquiorra, as Izaya called him, stepped into the light of the monitor, letting it illuminate his white face and green eyes, "Not in the slightest. I ask because your statements seem rather strange. You would start a war and pit the humans in this world against one another all for what?" Turning to look out the window in his room, Izaya touched a hand to the glass, his red-brown eyes narrowing, "To awaken my escort to Valhalla," he turned slightly back to his guest, "Have you ever heard of the Dulahan?" "Dulahan?" "Yes, they are a Celtic myth. Headless women clothed in black that come for the souls of the dead riding a headless black horse. I believe...they are Valkyrie manifested. The heavenly escorts that ride down from Heaven to guide the souls of champions of war to the incredible city of Valhalla. And Celty...is my Valkyrie. I will begin a war and I will win and I will ascend to Valhalla. Escorted, of course, by my precious Valkyrie." Silence followed his words as Ulquiorra wrapped his mind around what he'd said, "And the gem?" Holding up the star to the moonlight, Izaya grinned, "My trump card."

Abandoned Building:/END

Spoiler

Kakashi, Yamato and Sai had lost their ANBU masks and their wounds stung from where Albedo had cut them. "Ugh...he's strong." "Yeah...Kakashi, we need a better strategy. This guy isn't going down without some serious damage. We can't afford to hold back anymore." "Oh? Holding back are we? That's a mistake you won't live to REGRET!" Albedo shot forwards, his clawed hand extended to inflict damage on Yamato. "Ugh...!" Before Albedo's attack could connect a sword swung down, piercing into his arm before a small woman dropped down into the building in a flurry of feet and hands as she kicked, punched and shoved Albedo back with sheer speed and raw force. "Are you alright, Yamato?" Kakashi blinked in surprise, "Sui-Feng?! What're you doing here?"

Spoiler

She glanced over her shoulder and shot him a look as if to say 'are you joking?'. "We were deployed on orders from Head-Captain Kyoraku. I felt a spike in your spiritual pressure and followed you here." "What? But...uh..we don't have spiritual pressure." "Spritual pressure, chakra...whatever you want to call it...just be grateful I'm here." Albedo examined the sword pierced straight through his arm and flung back his head, laughter bubbling up from his chest, "AHAHAHAHAHA! You think this is enough to stop me?! Stupid little girl! You've dropped yourself in at a very poor time," he tore the sword out of his arm, unintentionally severing his own arm in the process, "But now that you're here, we might as well have some fun!" Sui-Feng narrowed her eyes on him and discarded the white coat she wore designating her position as captain of Squad Two in the Soul Society, "My orders were clear. The destruction of the creature known as Albedo Piazzolla." Yamato placed himself in front of her, "You can't! We were ordered to take him alive!" "Out of my way! Do not get in the way!" Pushing the tired and weakened Yamato aside, Sui-Feng's eyes landed on an empty room before her. Looking around, she grit her teeth in frustration. "He's gone..." "Dammit!" Sui-Feng lifted a small metallic ear piece to her ear, "This is Captain of Squad Two, subject has vanished from the building. Spread out the patrols originating from this location. Find him!" She exhaled sharply and picked up her coat and her sword, "Are you happy now? Letting that guy go is in direct violation of my orders. I suggest you three head home and let the Soul Reapers handle this now." A crackling in her communication device alerted her to the stream of information coming through. After listening for a minute she gasped, "Kidnapped a child? Are you sure? Alright, I'm heading out now. Stay on him. Do not engage, I repeat, do not engage." She shot a harsh glare at the shinobi before vanishing. Kakashi, Yamato and Sai followed her outside, but seeing no trace of the strict professor, they resigned to head home for the night. "We have no lead anymore..." "And being told to let it go by Sui-Feng is unusual. She said she had orders from someone called Head-Captain Kyoraku. Is that her superior, you think? Kakashi-senpai?" "I don't think we have all the information. Albedo has done something far more drastic than kidnap and murder a few children. Whatever it is...he's involved the Soul Reapers." Kakashi pulled his headband down over his Sharingan and started across the roof towards home, "We're not going to get any information standing around here. We'll regroup tomorrow and start searching again after I talk to Ukitake." Yamato quickly followed him with Sai beside him, "You think he'll tell us what's going on? Sui-Feng didn't seem as happy to see us involved in this." Offering Yamato a weak, reassuring smile, Kakashi attempted to reassure him, "If we don't try, we'll never know."

 

~~Simon's House~~

​

Spoiler: Music

Sprawled out on the sofa watching the TV with half-interest while shoving half a donut into her mouth and getting cold custard everywhere, Tamamo's ears twitched as she heard Simon enter the house.
"Simon!" she said happily, her expression quickly changing from that of boredom to cheerfulness, as she threw herself off of the couch and onto the boy, who had just sat down, to hug him.
Only, this was suddenly made awkward when she recalled what she was wearing. Or more accurately; what she wasn't wearing. Her outfit currently consisted of nothing but a sarashi over her chest and a pair of boxer shorts that had used to belong to Simon's father. She felt slightly embarrassed that she had just hugged him while dressed like this, and quickly backed off, rubbing the back of her head and blushing a tiny bit.
"Um, I'll just get changed. One minute." she said, running into the kitchen to clean herself up and put some clothes on, while still being able to talk to Simon.
"Today's been boring here. Not like in the city." she answered Simon's question. "What happened was all over the news. Abductors! Everyone thought they were just like a UFO thing. A myth like the Loch Ness Monster and stuff. But then they appear over Tokyo and it's like whoosh, one goes up in smoke and smashes part of the city!"
Coming back out from around the corner, Tamamo was now dressed far more decently, with her hair slightly let down instead of in its usual pigtails.
"How do I look?" she asked with a smile, twirling slightly so that Simon could see her outfit properly.
"As of whenever Nintendo High re-opens, Tamamo will be joining you at school from now on, so I thought I should wear something more attractive for a change."

 

~Kabukicho District~​

​

"Wait, hang on...if you're offering us a quest then what do we get in return?" Neptune asked as she crossed her arms explaining "I wasn't with them when they met those people" shortly before Noire explained to her sister about meeting the Madly Blooming Princess and their antics. "Well to be honest I don't know why Gust was confronted by them but Noire, Blanc, and myself could feel the power eminating from them" Vert explained before Blanc interrupted asking calmly "I would like to know why you want us to kill a vampire hunter, is it because a hunter aligning with a pure vampire is illegal in your organization or something, I mean we've never really fought vampires before ever since we started living in Tokyo"​

 

Residential Area:

Kaname's car came to a halt in front of the CPU's house. The girls asked a lot of pointless questions and repeated his statements making speaking with them rather irritating. He held up three fingers, "First...don't repeat what I just said, it's a troublesome habit," a finger went down, leaving two up, "Second...if you don't kill him...he'll kill you, isn't that enough incentive to kill him? I would imagine so." Kaname put down another finger and pointed directly at Neptune as he addressed her question last, "You get another day to live. You humans fight to survive, don't you? Then survive and your reward is the very air you breathe when the fight is done." Flopping his hand down in his lap as the door opened and Senri stood waiting for the girls to exit the car, Kaname glowered at them, "Kill him...don't kill him...it's your choice. Live or die. It makes no difference to me. Ichiru Kiryu is nothing more than a pawn in her game. The fact that I've asked you to do this has absolutely no significance to the Vampire Society. Do it...don't do it...either way, Ichiru Kiryu will die." He turned his head away from them as his conversation with them was over. Senri held out his hand for the girls, "Come on. Now you're all just being stubborn. Lord Kaname gave you an order. Even if humans don't have to obey it...it's smart to take it to heart." Once the girls would leave...the car would leave for the Kuran estate and Kaname's game would begin.

 

~Outside Dorms~

"Ehehe... Yeah." Luna said sheepishly. 'I swear to Arceus if Red or Black are in my room with the other girls I'll HM01 them!' she thought to herself.

She led Selene into the dorm, where Leaf and Crys were sitting. No one else appeared to be in there. "Hey guys. This is my older sister Selene."

Leaf hopped off the bed and offered her hand to Selene for a handshake. "Hiya! I'm Leaf from the Kanto region. Nice to meet you." She said in a very cheery tone.

Crys did the same as Leaf. "I'm Crystal from Johto. I prefer to be called Crys though."

Luna sighed in relief. No boys. Selene would meet them later. She didn't need Red and Black to be obnoxious when they first met Selene.

~Gullwings' Apartment~

"It's no problem at all. Now then, we best get going." The Doctor turned, "Come along girls." Then stepped into the TARDIS with the three women following.

Once inside, the Doctor asked where they wanted to go next. There was no specific answer, so he took them back to Nintendo High.

 

~Gullwing's Apartment~

Tidus smiled at Yuna when he saw her before the Doctor literally left in the same blue box and rubbed behind his head with a hand. "Sorry, he literally dragged me along without any explanation at all, strange guy though, especially inside that box of his." he said to his girlfriend, embarrassed.

~Sirirus's House~

Ankh's voice was heard. "You better keep that promise Eiji, or you will regret this." he said as he gave him a glare, raising his gauntlet-like limb fashioned after a bird as Vanille giggled. "it's a wonder how they actually get along, takes all kinds I suppose."
~Tokyo Airport~

Coincidentally, A plane from Hong Kong had arrived and from a mass of people leaving the plane, Syaoran observed his surroundings with his Guardian, Wei, his mother sent him off quickly to observe and see what there could be done while she the rest of the Li Clan will arrive tomorrow in the early recesses of the morning to support the funerals and to see if there were any survivors in the destroyed buildings, but also, by sending him, it was to check if Sakura was alright as their family were descendants of Clow Reed and the young girl being the new Master of the Clow Cards, they had to be sure.

 

-Gullwings' Apartment-

"What a strange man and what a unusual machine. But welcome back, Tidus. I will make a meal for you." Aerith said while Yuna kept holding him, happy he was back and safe. Rikku smiled and exclaimed, "It must have looked super cool on the inside of that box! I wish I could met him and join him on whatever adventure he had!" Paine shook her head and went to her room while Rikku was starry-eyed in her fantasy.



-Sirius' House-

Eiji nervously laughed, hearing that, Fang said, "Sounds like Eiji has his work cut for him." Sirius nodded and kept quiet, Fang noticed and said, "You're only this quiet when you know a certain someone is back in town. It's James, isn't it?" Sirius was surprised and nodded, holding his tea cup and taking a small sip. Fang smiled, sipping her soda and belching loudly.



-Remus's House-

Sitting on the balcony of his home, Remus looked through the telescope while he held his cup of hot tea. He noticed that the moon was halfway full and knew that he had to be prepared for the next few days. He heard a knock on his door and went to answer it. Remus was surprised at the sudden hug of his best friend, James Potter, he said, "James, what are you doing here? And who are the little ones?""I heard the news about what happened today and I felt that I should come and make sure Harry was okay. Moony, meet my newest children, WilyKat and WilyKit." James said."Also, can we stay the night? I want to surprise Harry and Padfoot." With a smile, Remus said, "Of course, Prongs. Lets get the little ones to bed, then." He helped lead his friend and his children into his home.

 

~CPUs Residence~​

​

The four CPUs quietly got out of the car and shuffled away from it quickly towards their home after what they were told to do before standing beside Shiro and Pururut on the front porch, the four of them quietly stood there not saying a word as Neptune opened the door and the girls walked into their home only to notice a note attached to a pile of pajamas that read "Dear New Siblings, I took these out for you from my siblings' closets in case you didn't bring any ~Nepgear". Shiro and Pururut picked up a pair each before Vert said aloud "Okay, after we get our pajamas on lets meet up in my room and we can play some games together, like a game night of sorts" with Noire adding in "Alright, I'll bring my PS3, Blanc you get your Wii, and we'll have some fun to relieve the stress of the day"​

​

Meanwhile outside in the back of the house Uni stood near a table holding her rifle in an aiming position with a pair of black soundproof headphones on while wearing orange glasses over her ruby eyes, Nepgear stood away with a pair of large purple headphones and orange glasses as well. "Hey Nepgear, do you think we should tell our sisters about what we overheard?" Uni asked as she pulled the trigger and fired a bullet directly into a sturdy tree shortly before Nepgear replied "I don't know...it doesn't seem right that we should bring up something like that, especially around Blanc" "Well, that is true...Blanc would freak out after all, you wanna try shooting this?" "Nono, I'd probably shoot someone's eye out or accidently murder someone"​

 

CPU's Residence:

Belle watched her sister leave and tapped a slender finger to her lips, "Hmm..." Kuro, as Noire had resigned to be called, scratched her head, "Something on your mind, Belle?" She narrowed blue eyes on each of their twin siblings for a moment before reverting into a smile, "Nope, not a thing." Poking a finger in Kuro's cheek, she giggled, "Aw...is Kuro-puu worried about little old me? That's so adorable!" Waving her off, Kuro followed her sisters inside, "Nobody's worried about you, dummy." Leaving Belle standing outside, Kuro wandered to the backyard and found Nepgear and Uni. "Huh? I should've guessed you two would've been out here."
Belle turned on her heel and stared at the night sky. "Something's different about them. Kaname didn't even get out of the car...I thought he was a gentleman. Hmm...maybe Neptune said something to him. I didn't know he got embarrassed so easily." Her mind wandered, 'Speaking of being embarrassed... I wonder if we'll see Shizuo again or that Glitter place. There was something wrong about it...the place and its owners. It might not concern us right now as CPU's...but it seemed to concern that woman that came to retrieve us.' Belle shut her eyes, recalling the woman's face as she stood in the doorway of Glitter. She was completely serious...yet when any of the men addressed her directly, her expression changed. Those red eyes that seemed to see all the way into Belle's soul. "She was creepy if anything." "Who was creepy?" "AHHHH! Oh...you scared me." Belle jumped and pressed her back against the side of the house, pressing a hand to her chest. The black haired woman from earlier sat in a rather fancy looking, and out of place, chair on the lawn, smoking a pipe, "Sorry...that's becoming a bad habit of mine. Watanuki is always complaining that I pop up on him unexpectedly. Though, to be honest, it is kind of fun watching him leap to the ceiling screaming like a little girl. Right, Mokona?" Belle shifted her gaze to the woman's lap and found a black puff ball sitting there holding a cup filled with sake. "Yeah, April Fools is always screaming like a little girl." Belle frowned, "April...Fools?" "Yeah, April Fools... Watanuki is April Fools, duh. Get with the picture, lady." "O-Oh..." The woman patted the black puff ball's head and exhaled a cloud of smoke before pointing at Belle with her pipe, "I'm Yuuko Ichihara...and this is Mokona. I'm not here to give you a hard time for calling me creepy, no matter how rude. I wanted to ask a little favor." "A..favor? What kind of favor?" "Don't be silly...it's nothing dangerous. I just need you to go and get something for me. I'll send Watanuki and Sasori with you tomorrow to fetch it. Just bring it to this address and I'll pick it up later," She held out a piece of paper for Belle to take. Examining the address on it, Belle frowned, "But this is half way across the... Hey!" Looking up to complain, Belle found Yuuko and Mokona gone.

~Simon's House~​

​

"Simon!" Tamamo called out as she mauled hugged Simon.​

Simon took the full force of Tamamo's breast-first hug, his face feeling as if it had just been assaulted by a couple of firm dodgeballs.​

"...Good to see you two, Tamamo." Simon mumbled from withing Tamamo's engulfing bust.​

It was then that she backed off, her face turning red somewhat as she rubbed the back of her head.​

"Um, I'll just get changed. One minute."
Tamamo then exited the room to clean herself up and change.
"Today's been boring here. Not like in the city. What happened was all over the news. Abductors! Everyone thought they were just like a UFO thing. A myth like the Loch Ness Monster and stuff. But then they appear over Tokyo and it's like whoosh, one goes up in smoke and smashes part of the city!"
"Yeah, I saw a bunch of construction workers out there cleaning stuff up...It was pretty busted up over there. I hope not too many people were hurt."
It was then that Simon began to imagine the possibility of stopping that destruction had he found Lagann sooner.
He couldn't think long, as Tamamo had come around the corner, wearing somewhat less-revealing attire.
"How do I look? As of whenever Nintendo High re-opens, Tamamo will be joining you at school from now on, so I thought I should wear something more attractive for a change."
He examined her outfit quickly as to not look like he was staring.
"You look great, Tamamo." Simon said with a smile.
Just then, a loud thunderclap was heard from outside, startling Simon.
"Thunder? I didn't think it was supposed to rain." Simon said as he stood up and looked outside.
The sky had darkened considerably due to sudden rainclouds, and rain began to fall.
"Guess the weather man got it wrong."
A lightning bolt struck down on a close-by residence.
"Oh man...The lightning looks pretty rough."

~Jones Residence~​

​

Sitting in his room with what looked to be a busted action figure was Joey Jones, a new student at Nintendo High- Or rather, he will be once school starts back up.​

He had the busted toy in one hand and a screwdriver in the other as he twisted a screw into the toy.​

Other tools were sprawled across the floor, along with a circular device that served as the toy's controller.​

"Don't worry, I'll have you all fixed up in no time." He said to the toy.​

He had been working for days to fix this toy, but he was finally about finished.​

"Just one...more...screw...Done!"​

Joey placed the toy on a chair that sat right below an opened overhead window on the ceiling.​

He stared at the toy for a few moments, admiring his hard work.​

"I think I'll call you...Heroman. Because you're my hero!"​

Smiling at the newly-fixed Heroman, Joey stood up and exited the room to get himself something to drink.​

Moments later, Joey stood in his kitchen, drinking down a glass of milk, when suddenly, a thunderclap was heard.​

"Th-Thunder?"​

Joey looked out the nearest window, where he saw rain falling.​

"Rain? Oh no! Heroman!"​

Joey rushed back to his room, where rain was pouring in through the open window, right onto Joey's toy.​

"Heroman!"​

Joey ran from his bedroom doorway towards the chair that the toy sat on.​

However, just as he was about to grab the toy, a bolt of lightning struck Heroman directly through the overhead window, sending Joey flying across the room into the opposite wall.​

Much to Joey's surprise, the toy was completely intact, aside from some smoke rising off of it's body from the lightning.​

Joey stood up, somewhat afraid to approach the toy again.​

"What the..."​

Joey stepped closer to the toy, as the rain was calming down.​

He reached forward to touch it with his left index finger, only to be zapped before he could touch it.​

"What the heck was that?"​

Suddenly, a noise was heard from the floor below Joey.​

He looked down to see that the circular controller device was glowing.​

He knelt down and picked it up hesitantly. When he held it, the glowing intensified.​

Before he could even react, the controller completely disassembled into hundreds of small glowing squares that filled the room, floating around for a few seconds, before finally reassembling, this time as a much larger mechanism that covered Joey's arm from his hand to his elbow.​

"Wh-What the!?"​

A marking formed on the black circle screen that resembled a robotic face.​

An instinctive feeling overcame Joey to press the marking, which he did.
Upon pressing it, the controller glowed, as did the toy, but much brighter.
The glowing toy began to look as if it was growing. It grew and grew, until finally the top of it was pushing the ceiling further upwards, breaking it.
The light finally faded, and a new, much larger form was revealed.
The small toy that Joey had fixed up mere minutes ago was now a towering robot that was staring down at him.
"H-Heroman is...Is alive!"

OOC: To prevent that from getting too long, I'm cutting it off here for Joey. Cliffhangers ftw. :3

~Path to Mt. Fuji; Seven Years Ago~​

​

Peppy Hare, alongside Vivian, were running quickly through the streets to reach Mt. Fuji. They seemed to be in quite the hurry. An excellent opportunity for them to be caught off guard. A thought that a nearby armored S-Type was currently having as he quickly ran out in front of them, his large demonic blade ready to kill.​

"Stop, weaklings. You will go no further." Said the offender.​

​

Spoiler: ENTER

​

The armor-clad S-Type known as Nightmare stood before Peppy and Vivian with the intent to kill.​

His glowing red eyes were locked on Peppy and Vivian, picking out which of them would be the easiest target to eliminate first.​

He'd decided to target the female, as she seemed the weakest.​

"You will not disturb the Relic! I will make sure of it." He said before charging at the two, swinging his one-eyed blade at Vivian, prepared to cut her clean in half if necessary.​

"Your Soul is mine!" ​

Then it happened. The sound of flesh being cut into, followed by the splattering of blood onto the asphalt.​

Nightmare's Soul Edge had cut nearly halfway through Vivian's torso through her side.​

Removing the blade from the woman, Nightmare watched sadistically as she fell backwards.​

"It is as I said. You will not disturb the Relic."​

Nightmare stood and watched, waiting for Peppy's reaction, sadistically awaiting a despair-ridden cry.​

 

~CPUs Residence~​

​

Uni stopped firing her rifile and got up away from it taking off her headphones as she noticed Belle and Kuro before Nepgear said aloud "Welcome home, did you all have a great time?" with Uni explaining "Yeah...sorry for not noticing you two here, you see I was firing off my rifile to test my accuracy and I had on my headphones to be sure I didn't become deaf from the constant firing" with Nepgear adding in "I don't think they needed to know that, Uni" just as Shiro and Pururut came out, Shiro looked at Belle and Kuro before asking "Hey is it me or is there something wrong with Neptune, Vert, Blanc, and Noire. I mean they have were awfully quiet when we got back" causing Nepgear and Uni to scratch their heads in confusion with Nepgear thinking "Well atleast they haven't asked about Mom" and sighing in relief.​

​

　​

~CPUs Residence: Vert's Room~​

​

Vert, Noire, Blanc, and Neptune were sitting quietly in Vert's room playing Banjo-Tooie on the 360. Blanc being rather observant asked calmly "Let me get this straight, they ported two games originally made on the N64 to the 360 with HD textures and **** AND managed to restore that feature that the Rare Witch Project made a big deal of?" with Vert responding calmly "Yes they did do that and more, let's just say that it didn't turn out as expected" just as she killed Blanc in-game causing Blanc to shout out "Oh **** you Vert!" with Vert giggling. "Girls, I'm kinda worried right now...what if we can't kill this guy or his vampire lady friend finds out, I mean they could kill us or turn us into vampires" Noire asked in concern before Neptune chirped up "If they turn us into vampires then we would be immortal" causing Blanc to facepalm as she explained "Are you stupid or something, we'd have to suck blood and avoid sunlight, garlic, and crap, we wouldn't be immortal. Either way we have to kill or be killed because they probably know about us now" "That is true, but if we're going to kill him then we'll need a plan" "Hmmm...oh darn, get that Clockwork Kazooie egg away from me Blanc!" "Hahaha...yes!"​

~Path to Mt. Fuji: Seven Years Ago~​

​

Peppy stood there and watched as this monster of an S-Type sliced through Vivian's body as she fell to the ground dead and bleeding with cold, empty eyes staring at him, Peppy's eyes widened in sheer terror as he slowly walked over to his wife and knelt down with tears in his eyes, he quietly placed his fingers on her eyes and gently closed them as he kissed her one last time, he stood up with tears in his eyes as he muttered "You....you monster!" yelling out the last part in a dispair-ridden agony as he tried to focus in order to summon something but seemingly couldn't with his mind clouded up leaving him open.​

 

CPU's Residence:

Belle frowned, "You all noticed it too? It's the strangest thing. I wonder if Kaname said something to them." Kuro snapped her fingers, "Could be why he asked them to get in his car personally. I mean, any of us could've gotten in...but he asked for them." The pair fell quiet in thought. Shaking her head, Belle turned her attention back to their young siblings, "Anyway...how's mother? She said she wanted to talk to us before we headed out..." Kuro shrugged, "Everyone in this city sure is awfully weird lately. Those guys at the club...they looked like twins. They just gave us that membership card." Belle bit her lip, "I suppose...they just liked us. Remember what Shizuo said when he saw them? He called them members of Morphine." Lifting a delicate black brow, Kuro turned on her heel and folded her arms over her chest, "Isn't that some sort of drug for pain? I'm pretty sure mom'll know. Let's go ask her. She's lived here for a long time."

 

~CPUs Residence~​

​

Nepgear and Uni both froze as they heard their older siblings ask about their mother, the two stood there motionless before Shiro coughed causing Nepgear to respond "W-well she's doing fine, right now she's probably dancing in the arcade room in order to stay fit and nimble, so hopefully if she's not too busy you can speak with her there" with Uni adding in politely "Here, we'll show you, c'mon" shortly before the two ran back inside with Shiro and Pururut on their tails, Uni's mind was in a panic thinking "Oh crap, oh crap, they better not bring it up with her, she'll know that we were snooping on her..." as she hurried along with Nepgear beside her.​

​

~Arcade Room: CHAOS~​

​

The Arcade Room as Nepgear called it was a medium-sized room that was located near the back of the house that had a ruby-red carpet, dark-wood walls, and gold lining. In addition the room housed various popular arcade games that ranged from Pac-Man all the way up to DDR: Supernova, Histoire could be seen standing at the Supernova cabinent panting as a drop of sweat fell from her blonde head. She had on a purple and gold tracksuit as she looked at the screen muttering only four words in a dry tone "One More Extra Stage..." as she picked a song entitled "CHAOS" before stepping back onto the buttons as the chaotic dance started.​

​

​

Nepgear, Uni, Shiro, and Pururut arrived just on time to watch their mother move her legs and arms quickly while slightly using her wings to help her movement a bit as the frantic dance kept moving, Shiro's eyes simply widened as she watched Histoire dance mumbling under her breath "Damn...." just as the song finally ended and Histoire leaned against the railing sweating asking with a cracked tone "Someone pass me the water..." before Nepgear handed her mother a bottle of cold water that was nearby, Histoire opened it and started to drink it as Pururut looked at the screen with her eyes wide as she said "Imposssible....she got AAA just from getting all perfect steps, she's got to be cheating" only for Shiro to slap her on the back as she said "Focus"​
