RE: Mario's High School Days

Shirogane Estate:

Spoiler

It was faint but the feeling was familiar. Opening her eyes, Naoto's vision was clouded by thick fog. A familiar fog. Reaching for her pocket, her hand brushed across her pajama top. Her gaze shot down and she found herself standing barefoot in her pajamas in the middle of the TV world covered in fog. Nervous fear shot through her heart, "I must've gotten here somehow... This doesn't look like the same place I was thrown in before...or the place where the others came in at. That must mean Teddie doesn't know I'm here yet." Giving up on trying to see through the fog, Naoto lifted her hand out in front of her, "Persona!" No card answered her call. Dropping her hand back to her side, Naoto shut her eyes again, "No response. I haven't been here in a long time...hopefully those powers don't disappear after long periods of un-use." A noise similar to that of something licking its lips with great exaggeration came from behind her. Turning sharply, she scanned the area around her for any sign of a Shadow. Sweat dripped down her back, making her pajamas stick to her skin. Turning away from the noise, she ran through the fog. Every time she heard a similar noise she turned away from it and kept running. Her foot caught on something and she tumbled to the ground. Hitting her shoulder against the ground, Naoto rolled right off a drop. Her grasping fingers missed the edge and she fell into the darkness.

Jerking awake, Naoto gasped, her body covered in cold sweat and her hands tightly clenched in her sheets. Releasing her innocent blankets, she looked down at her lap and found a small bundle of white and blue fur curled up in her lap. "What?" The ball lifted its head and blinked large blue eyes at her, "Nee!" An odd meow from a cat. Reaching a shaky hand out towards it, the memory of how her Persona hadn't worked in her dream came back to her. The cat stood, waving twin blue-tipped tails, and touched its head to her hand. When soft fur touched Naoto's skin, the cat glowed a bright blue and the fear in her dream vanished. Stroking its fur, Naoto let out a relieved sigh, "Thank you. What are you? I guess...some sort of cat." "Nee!" Its ears folded back and Naoto retracted her hand away from sharp teeth. "I guess not. You look more like a fox, but...two tails?" The little fox scrambled up Naoto's arm and circled around her neck, sitting down on her shoulder and pressed its head against her cheek. "My name is O-chan." A female voice entered her mind and surprised the young detective. "You can talk?" Pulling away, O-chan mewed again. "One time thing, huh? Well that's alright." Swinging her legs over the side of her bed, Naoto dressed and hopped down the stairs of her grandfather's mansion. On her way, she peeked into her grandfather's study where she found him dozing off at his desk with papers on different cases surrounding him. "Sleep well, Grandfather." Beginning her own investigation, Naoto hurried through breakfast and out the door with the little fox still connected to her shoulder.

A man with light purple hair, blue eyes, large circular glasses and a white lab coat popped up behind Shion and Vexen. "Did someone mention dangerous inventions? Speaking of the like...Ms. Shion, I'd like your permission to make a few changes to KOS-MOS. I've made several calculations concerning the Lancelot's float system and I'm positive I can make it work on KOS-MOS. Of course with the addition of a separate energy filler and upgrading the weaponry equipped from the second-rate switch system she has now." A dark haired woman came up behind him and hit her fist on the top of his head. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Uzuki. Lloyd is incapable of communicating with other humans without offending them. Please forgive him." She bowed and Lloyd sulked away before she could start lecturing him in front of his co-workers.

Belle and Kuro made their way downstairs, following the smell of food and sat beside Neptune. "I'd like to see more of Tokyo today," Kuro directed mostly at Belle. Belle bit her lower lip, "True... Unfortunately, I have an errand to run." She avoided Kuro's inquisitive look. Since Belle also had very little clue as to what Yuuko was asking for, she couldn't answer her sisters' questions about her errand.

Mairu and Kururi opened their eyes, glaring at Ram as she shrieked, "Chill out... It's not on this early. Why're you getting up so early anyway?" "Freaks of nature..." Kururi mumbled. Mairu fumbled around on the nightstand for her glasses and glared at the door, "Do you hear that?"

Airport:

Spoiler

Leaving a plane, seven young men yawned and stretched. "Ohhhh, now I'm really tired. Flying from the States back to Japan is really rough." A red haired young man whined. A brown haired man slung his arm around his shoulders, "Now, now...a sleepy smile will always melt the lady's hearts." A short blond haired man wearing a fedora stopped beside the pair and yawned. "SYO-CHAAAAAANNNNNN~!" "Hm..? Urk! N-Natsuki!" A golden blond haired young man wearing oval glasses bounded out of the plane and scooped up the shorter man in a rib-cracking hug. "Syo-chan, I missed you so MUCH!" Syo gasped for air, "N-Natsuki...can't...breathe..!" Setting him down, Natsuki smiled gently as Syo gulped down large breaths of air, "Sorry." "We were sitting next to each other, how do you miss me?" "Oh...but the plane was so cramped and you slept most of the way." A dark brown haired man with a deep tan and bright blue eyes chuckled, poking Syo's cheeks, "Kawaii." Two blue haired young men picked up their bags, took one look at Syo and pulled out two small mirrors for him to look into. Syo stared into the mirrors, finding black markings all over his face. A swirl on his cheek, cat whiskers drawn close to his nose, a black dot on the tip of his nose and the word "chibi" written across his forehead. ".....NATSUKI!" Syo lifted a fist but before he could come close to hitting his roommate a group of girls in the airport started screaming and flocking towards the seven young men. Both blue haired men backed away from the flock of screaming girls, "We have to go..." "Ren, call a cab. Otoya...make sure Cecil stays close." "Roger," Ren flicked open his cellphone and the red-headed Otoya grabbed their foreign group-mate Cecil's arm, "O-Okay. Let's go, Cecil-san." They took off running for the exit, dragging the tan Cecil behind with an oblivious smile to the girls. "Bye-bye."

Neptune turned to face Kuro before she said happily "Hey, if you needed someone to come along with you then I could go with you, I'm not doing anything else" all while Noire, Blanc, Vert, Uni, Nepgear, Shiro, and Pururut walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table with Vert yawning and stretching her arms, Blanc turned towards Histoire and asked "Where are the damn tangerines at?" causing Histoire to point out sternly "Blanc, how many times have I told you, don't use those filthy words at the table" "Sorry, I'm just a little cranky without breakfast"​

​

Histoire turned around placing plates full of food onto the table in front of her girls before opening up the nearest fridge and pulled out two cartons of juice, one orange and one tangerine before she poured some into glasses and handed them to her girls before she joined them at the table saying calmly "Let's eat" only for Neptune to start eating her breakfast like crazy.​

After a few minutes Kairi came out of the bedroom dressed while brushing her; hair, she quickly handed Roxas the phone and put her shoes on, after putting her shoes on she stood back up quickly muttering "Sorry boys, I have to go to the hospital, see you later Roxas.." before she ran past Sora and quickly kissed him on ther cheek adding "You too Sora" quickly running out the door in the process as she was heading towards the hospital.​

"Of course Ms. Croomy, but I do like the concept of a Float System imstalled on KOS-MOS to deal with those pesky airborne entities, however we really can't do anything without the Professor present" Shion explained as she adjusted her glasses only for another voice to speak up "What if we added a multi-tiered weapon structure onto her in order to reduce the weapon switchout times" only for Shion to look over to see an odd man whose head was partially covered in metal with a strange visor along with silver gloves, a white labcoat, a round red nose with brown pointy moustache, and something black under his labcoat.​

​

beside him was a taller man in the same white labcoat who had short chestnut colored hair along with a beard, in addition he had green eyes that were hidden by a pair of glasses, Vexen looked over and said aloud "Well, Dr. Crygor and Dr. Freeman, I had started to wonder where you two were" with Dr. Crygor responding quickly "Of course, what did you expect...I had to show Gordon the area in question and give him the key, although he's not much of a talker" causing Shion to facepalm as she asked carefully "Dr. Crygor, did you open the door?" shortly before the cyborg pointed out "Of course not, you put that failsafe system in place to make sure nobody took your precious KOS-MOS away" causing Vexen to laugh before Shion punched him in the face as she ordered "Vexen, be like Dr. Freeman and be quiet"​

"We're really sorry, Ram gets her loudness from her sister Blanc who in turn has a bit of a potty mouth" Rom explained as she bowed, Ram on the other hand placed her ear against the door before she said "I'm not hearing a single thing at all" causing Rom to point out "I think it's the sound of quiet they speak of, kinda similar to those hard nights where we can't sleep because Vert's pulling an all-nighter"​

Kuro deflected flecks of food flying from Neptune's eating with her hand but still smiled to herself at her sisters' offer. "I think that actually would be fun. If you can manage not to get us lost, Neptune." Belle happily smiled as she sipped her tea and picked apart a piece of toast. "It'd be very nice to go to the memorial together once we're done with our things. We haven't spent much time as a family and this would be a good opportunity to be together."

Orihara Building:

Mairu and Kururi exchanged confused looks. Kururi pointed at the small twins, "You two...have traits from your sister?" She asked like it was the most bizarre fact in the world. Mairu quickly braided her hair and pulled on her sweatshirt, "How weird. We flipped a coin. We decided that whoever got heads would be the loud one and whoever got tails would be the quiet one. I got heads." Mairu proceeded to undress and dress her sister before they flung open their door, "Let's go see what super-quiet Izaya-nii is up to." Kururi shifted her clothes around, "Kinda odd to wake up without the noise of the tv...or the smoke alarm going off." The pair skipped down the stairs and immediately hugged their brother around his waist. "Morning, Nii-san." "Morning, Nii-san." Irritated, Izaya brushed them off and continued towards the large window that made up a portion of his wall. Picking up a pair of binoculars, he scanned the mass of people outside. Mairu spotted Lulu cleaning up a stack of papers and started to drool. "Good morning, Lulu. Is breakfast ready?" Lulu turned, her ruby eyes landing on the twins and nodded towards the kitchen.

"Watanuki~~~ More sake~!" "More! More!" A boy with black hair and two different colored eyes sighed as he pulled himself away from the busy task of cooking. Carrying another sake bottle to Yuuko lounging outside with the Black Mokona. Placing the new bottle of sake beside her and taking the empty one, the boy smiled fondly as she poured herself another cup and one for Mokona. "Watanuki..." "Watanuki... The pot is boiling over." "Boiling over." Panicked the boy ran back into the kitchen and switched off the fire, quickly moving the pot from the stove and into the sink. Looming over his shoulder, Fai smiled when Watanuki looked at him. "Can I help, Watanuki-kun?" For the life of him, Watanuki didn't want to say no... "It's alright, Fai. Breakfast is read---" "Breakfast!" "Breakfast!" Allowing Fai to help carry the food to the table, Watanuki kept himself busy with keeping Black Mokona out of the food. Maru and Moro, the twin girls that followed Watanuki around more than they did Yuuko now, sat on one side of the table to Watanuki's left with Fai on his right and Yuuko directly opposite of him. Both Mokona's didn't take up much space but they too got their own place setting of food. Maru and Moro didn't have a set of food. Fai tilted his head questioningly at them and in between bites, Watanuki answered his unspoken question. "Maru and Moro don't need to eat." Yuuko smiled at the ever happy Fai, "They don't have souls, Fai-kun. Unlike us, they don't require sustenance of food or water. They are bound to the shop. As long as it exists...they exist." Fai nodded, thoughtfully as they ate. Lifting his head, Watanuki grumbled for a moment before addressing the twins, "Maru...Moro...go to the front. The pain in the ass is here." Maru and Moro stood and skipped off to the front holding hands and returned with a man carrying a bottle wrapped in gift wrapping. "Welcome, Doumeki." The man bowed to Yuuko and gave a brief wave to Fai before taking Maru and Moro's place at the table and dishing himself some of the food. "I heard you have an errand today." Watanuki gave him a rather sour look and nodded, "Yuuko-san asked Belle to retrieve something for her and that Mugetsu would be able to find it...so I have to go along." He fell silent for a while before asking, "What is it?" Irritated, Watanuki growled, "If I knew, I'd tell you!"

-Eddard's Apartment-
The first thing I will point out is that it was an abnormally large apartment, probably capable of hosting a party for all of parliament.
Unfortunately, Eddard wasn't into parties.
Right now he had a mug of hot chocolate and was wearing a blue morning robe, sitting at his computer, reading various e-mail's he had recieved. He noticed the e-mail he had recieved from Celestia and read it. It was always interesting to read an e-mail from her, wondering how she managed to spell so well with those hooves of hers, maybe she had a custom-made keyboard.
Or maybe they weren't as big as everyone thought.
Either way, he sent back an e-mail answering the various questions, including the invitation to the memorial, to which his reply was; I will gladly attend.

He got up from his seat and went to change... unfortunately, Eddard Stark did not dress in anything normal, or if he did, he always added something to it. For example, today he wore a black tuxedo with a blue tie which had the dire wolf of Winterfell on it. Nothing wrong with that, right?
Well... he also wore his chainmail underneath the tuxedo, and of course he wore his famous fur cloak, despite the fact Tokyo wasn't nearly as cold as Winterfell.
Eddard usually wore his chainmail when going to such events as this, not only was it tradition, it was also extra protection. He also always wore his fur cloak, as it was tradition to do so in Winterfell; Eddard was all about tradition.
Even if he get's tons of complaints from enviromentalists and animal-lovers and hippies, that won't stop him from wearing his fur cloak.
He was stubborn like that.

-Wayne's Japanese House-
Bruce and Dick ate breakfast whilst discussing the events of the previous day, and also the memorial. "Ras says he will be there, so naturally I have to go too." Joked Bruce, Dick smirked and replied "If he does try anything, you might need backup." To which Bruce responded. "Ok, who was it you had in mind?" To which they both laughed at.

After breakfast, Dick was getting dressed when he heard the noise of a piano being played. "Bruce--" "I'm just going out for a quick patrol, I'll be right back." Then he disappeared into the secret door behind the bookcase. "That's what you said last time..." Dick sighed, then he decided to try and call Connor. Thinking he had the right number, he then waited for Connor to pick up.

"That would be such an excellent idea, all of us spending time together as a family, oh could you pass me the tea?" Vert asked she looked over to Belle, Neptune looked up and asked with her mouth full of pancakes "I thought we were going to do what you wanted to do" only for Nepgear to look over and say "Don't talk with your mouth full of gooey pancakes, anyways, what's everyone else going to do today...other than go to the memorial"​

~Hospital~​

"Yeah, we're ready to leave now Mr. Coulson" Garrus responded just as Kairi came rushing past them and towards the desk asking "Excuse me, but is there a girl named Xion here, I'm her cousin Kairi" causing Peppy to look over and mentioned "Wow, something bad must have happened if she came here" only for Shepard to add in "I'm sure she will be fine, mostly anyway...might want to wait a little bit to find out"​

The two little girls slowly came out of the bedroom with Rom hiding behind Ram as she walked over to Mairu, Ram then proceeded to explain "Of course we have traits from Blanc, the two of us are halves of one whole Blanc, I'm the loud one with a bad temper while Rom is the quiet, level-headed shy one" while Rom poked her head from around Ram and looked at Mairu and then at Lulu as she quietly asked "Mairu, who is this lady and why are you drooling at her, she might be offended"​

~Live from Shinjuku Crash Site~​

​

The Astrobeat quickly sped across the Tokyo skies before stopping above the site for the memorial...exactly a 100-foot drop as a window opened on the side and Ulala crawled out onto the top of the Astrobeat, Fuse started to speak up through Ulala's headset cursing "Damn, looks like CNN's already on the scene with Anderson Cooper, get down there Ulala!" shortly before Ulala nodded "Roger!" as she jumped off of the Astrobeat and took the 100-foot plunge to the ground, people who were already present waiting for the memorial to start all looked into the sky to see something pink and orange fall from the sky before they shouted alound "OOH, LA, LA!" in awe.​

Ulala spun quickly in the air before landing gently onto the ground thanks to her jetpack, Fuse then said over her headset "All lines are clear Ulala, let's see what you're made of" shortly before the young reporter started to walk towards the crowd with her microphone in her hand as she started to speak "Hey there space cats, Ulala here comin' to you live from the crash site in Shinjuku where yesterday some female citzens were abducted by an unknown race of individuals known only as The Abductors, not much is known about them but recently according to the polls at Channel 5 it seems as though the approval ratings for PM Harriet Jones is sliding down"​

*News Flash*​

*PM Harriet Jones' Approval Rating: 55%*​

"Stay tuned, we'll have more information coming to you from the Shinjuku Memorial when it comes our way" Ulala explained before Fuse was in a fit of laughter "That was excellent Ulala! Go on ahead and take a little break, I'll tell you when we're back on the air...oh man our ratings are going through the roooooooooof!" "Uh...Fuse, you're slightly going off the deep end again" "Sorry about that, it's just that we're beating CNN thanks to your spunky reporting"​

Haruto moved quickly, catching Koyomi's fallen form and moved her hand over the Driver Buckle as it spoke. "Please, Please~" it said as mana flowed within Koyomi, improving her condition greatly, seeing as she needed mana constantly to keep her alive. "You should of said you were low on mana Koyomi." he said to her.

~Sirius's Apartment~

Ankh bit into his ice creama, savouring the taste every second, it was his favourite for a reason, even if people ask why he doesn't eat breakfast like a normal person or such, but then again, he didn't really honestly care, escpaiecally with have an elevated bed raised up high enough to cause damage should one roll over.

~Detectntive Agency~

Shotaro looked up from his desk at Hermione's question. "Yeah, we're going there, especially since there will be important hotshots going too, to held carry the service out and I don't doubt those above could see this as a good chance to cause more damage to the city." he said to Hermione.

~Hongo house~

Tsukasa looked at the girls quizzically, asking about Riders and riding off and he gave them a stare, either one of had that sixth sense of caution during the night or something, they did add in the p word as well and placed a hand in his pocket and pulled out the Decade card he used to transform with between his index and middle fingers, showing the girls as he casually stared at them. "Do I even need to answer, Showa Era?" he asked them.

~Gokaiger house~

"We're going, and even if there is some government or something, if those aliens come back, we won't listen to them, Earth needs better protectors than that Jones woman." Marvelous said after some thought, they didn't take orders from anyone anyway, they were vagabonds, no rules applied to them.

Gentaro finished styling his hair up. "Yosha, let's go!" he said and went to join his friend, with a smile.

Taking in a breath of relief, Koyomi sat up straight and looked at the ground. "Sorry, Haruto. I had a lot on my mind about what happened at school yesterday......" She said, gripping the edge of her dress and thinking about how she was teased as well as the boy who defended her from the people who teased her. Looking at Haruto. she said, "Thank you, Haruto. I'll be fine for today."



-Tokyo Cathedral-

Esmeralda noticed Yang, who greeted her and she smiled and nodded, "Thank you, brother. It's wonderful to be here." Despite having no faith to a religion, Esmeralda looked around and admired the beauty and design of the cathedral interior. Feeling the soft surface of a nearby pew, Esmeralda sat down in the pew and put her hands together, lowering her head and praying.



-Detective Agency-

"If that is the case, then Mione-chan will need to wear something different than her school uniform." Philip said, closing his book as he looked at his chief. Looking at herself, Hermione smiled and said, "Yes, that would be rather embarrassing. Do you two have any spare clothes?" Philip took her to the spare room as he did a quick lookup on sewing clothes.



-Hongo House-

For a very brief moment, Sakura looked surprised, then smiled and ran a hand through her hair, "It seems that the secret is out, and it seems my gut feelings was right. Yes, Decade, we are the first three Showa Era Kamen Riders.' "I guess since it has been so long, we have gotten rusty at hiding our transformations." Seki said, leaning against the wall with her eyes closed. Being the only one being surprised, Hinako said, looking at him, "What? He knows? Think he keep it secret?"



-Kengo's House-

"Morning, Kisaragi. Make yourself some breakfast." Kengo said, simply munching on a slice of toast and making himself a glass of milk. Taking the slice out of his mouth, Kengo said, "After breakfast, we will be heading to the memorial to pay our respects to those who died, then starting the experiment with Ami and Makoto."



-Fang & Vanille's house-

After drying herself off, Fang headed for the kitchen and made herself breakfast, noticing Vanille wasn't in the room. "Probably out in the garden again." Fang pondered to herself, taking a sip of coffee. Thinking about what was going to happen today, Fang thought to herself, 'Wonder if we should go. Want to respect those who passed away.' She sighed as he began to make pancakes.



-Gokaiger House-

"Yes, maybe we can show Miss Jones that us, the Rangers, and the Riders are the protectors that Earth needs." Ahim said, smiling. Basco scoffed and said, "It will take a lot to convince one person, Marvy." He took a sip of his coffee, Don sighed and ate his breakfast. Luka said, "I suppose he is right."



-Hotel-

"Is it time to get out of this yet?" Dante complained, dressed in a dark tuxedo with a red tie. "To be honest, I can't see you wearing something like that all the time" Nero said, wearing a black tuxedo. Vergil brushed his hair back, dressed in a gray suit straightened his tie.



-Alice's home-

"Ryotaro, why don't you go on and head to the memorial to find your friends. I have something to take care of." Alice said, looking at him. Ryotaro nodded, and quietly left her home. Placing a leash and collar around Blanca, Alice left, locking her door and heading for a flower shop to buy a flower to give at the memorial. Leading his master to a shop, Blanca walked to the shop.



-Gullwings Apartment-

Seeing Rikku and Paine return, Aerith smiled, "I'll be going down to the store for a bit. Our guest is welcome to join me in the store, he can pick a flower to woo a beautiful lady if he wants. Yuna, your outfit for the memorial is in your room." She headed downstairs, Yuna headed to her room and came out in a black kimono-style outfit. "What do you think?"



-Sakura's Home-

"Alright, kid. Pre-check list before we go. Got the Clow Key and the Clow Cards in case of a attack?" Kero asked as they were at the house to leave for the memorial. Sakura nodded, lifting the key around her neck and revealing the book in her bag, she said, "Alright. Lets go and pay our respects." Securing her roller skates, Sakura rolled out onto the sidewalk with Kero hiding in her bag.



-Tokyo Streets-

Watching the sun rise from a abandoned building, Kazari smiled and said, "I wonder... if we have a reunion today, Ankh...." He smiled as the Yummies he had placed in the people he met last had matured and appeared, consuming their hosts and taking the forms of various felines. He gave a light chuckle and hoped that they would help complete his mission.

Belle passed the tea to her twin and purposefully ignored her sisters. Worry about her task filled her mind. Staring down into her tea, Belle tried hard to imagine what kind of person this Watanuki Kimihiro was and what Yuuko wanted from her. Finishing her meal, Kuro stood, dropping her napkin on her plate. "I'm heading out. Tokyo's a big place and I want to get a jump on what's out there." Heading out the door, Kuro started walking away from the residential district.

Mairu wiped the drool away and lifted a brown eyebrow at Ram, "What're you talking about? She's hot, use your eyes." Lulu patted Mairu's head, "It's fine...Ram is it? I've been working here long enough to know Mairu and Kururi well enough that their personalities don't bother me." Izaya smirked and Lulu briefly glared at him, "Go have your breakfast girls. There's a memorial later today and you girls should attend." Mairu shook her head, "No thanks. Dead people really don't interest me." Leaning away from the window, Izaya lightly tapped on his keyboard and clicked on a small folder. A wide grin spread across his lips and he snatched up one of his cellphones and picked up his jacket from his chair, "Now don't you ladies get lonely without me. Lulu, there are more files for you to compile into a binder. It was nice meeting you two," he smiled devilishly at Ram and Rom, "Nice to see you're just as boring as your sister." Closing the door behind him as he left, Izaya happily bounded down the stairs and out of his building. Lulu shook her head and Kururi returned from the kitchen with a number of plates filled with french toast. "Is he gone already? Izaya-nii sure does move quickly in the mornings." Both sisters nodded and spoke in unison, "A morning person and a night owl. What a nightmare."

Uchiha Estate:

Spoiler

Mornings were never fun for Madara Uchiha. After waking up from a night filled with nightmares about his own death, his brothers' deaths and several other factors that made up his life, he stood in the shower for a good hour. He stared at his own ripple patterned Rinnegan eyes and for a milisecond...allowed himself to feel a twinge of regret. Regret for the old days when he trained and spoke with Hashirama. Regret that...he hadn't realized his enemy was right in front of him the whole time. Dressing as she should for his position as Brigadier General in the Japanese Military. He still had paperwork to do before the memorial and he didn't intend to be late. Izuna patiently watched his brother get ready and resumed his phone call without drawing Madara's gaze to him. "Ah, yes. Thank you Lord Mizukage, yes... Of course, I understand. No, sir...still no word from Mr. Senju about yesterday's meeting. I'm...not sure if they were asked to sponsor the event today. I believe it's a private sponsorship from the church. Yes sir, they tend to offer comfort in times of death." After a long period of waiting through Yagura's typical lecture about how they didn't care if people died, Izuna said his farewells and hung up. "Lord Mizukage gets harder to deal with when there's been a death somewhere." "I should think it obvious why..." Izuna looked up and found Shisui standing in front of him with the coffee pot, "Yagura once implemented a zero tolerance for failure in the Hidden Mist Village. I don't think death bothers him like it does others." Izuna sighed, unwilling to look his cousin in the eye, "Does it bother you?" The pair kept silent and thus became just another morning in the Uchiha household as long as Shisui lived with them.

Neptune quickly stood up with a piece of toast in her mouth before she ran after Kuro yelling aloud "Heeeeeeey, wait for me!" causing Vert to simply blink as she poured herself some tea and politely said "Thank you Belle" before Blanc spoke up "I forgot if we told you this or not, but Ram and Rom were staying over within the Orihara Building last night, we saw them ourselves" causing Histoire to tilt her head and reply "Oh? Well you might want to go and get them after breakfast, they'll need to be dressed properly for the Memorial...that goes for the rest of you as well" causing Nepgear to ask "Colored dresses, white dresses, or black dresses" in confusion before Histoire responded "Go with the white dresses" with Noire bringing up quietly "I'm not even sure if I have a white dress..." only for Vert to respond quickly "I might have one for you, not sure though"​

"U-um, my name is Rom actually miss...that's Ram" Rom explained as she explained and pointed at the longer haired twin who had her arms crossed looking slightly angry about the fact that they were called boring by Izaya, Rom quietly came out from behind Ram and picked up one of the plates of french toast before placing it in front of Ram as she replied quietly "Don't let him get to you, he's just trying to make you angry...now c'mon and eat" as she grabbed her own plate and quietly started to eat, Ram grumbled in slight irritation before she started to eat her food as well.​

"Of course, I'll come along..it would be rude of me not to accept the offer" Peppy explained as he laughed adding "Funny how this turned from one thing to another" only for Shepard to look at the hare and asked "Didn't you mean to talk to me about something Peppy?" only for Peppy to snap out of his laughter and said "Of course, I almost forgot about doing that to begin with, Phil can you see that these kids get to the room they're heading to? We'll catch up with you in a moment"​

~Nintendo High: Principal's Office~​

​

The S-Type quietly nodded before it ran over to a wall that was facing the screen of the computer, it then jumped onto the wall and sunk through it before its' head remained on the wall looking like a fancy decoration with its' eye staring at the computer screen and scanning the information quickly.​

​

~Gadd Science: Boardroom~​

​

After a minute or two the employees of Gadd Science were all quietly waiting in the boardroom, some were quiet like Dr. Freeman, others like Dr. Crygor were goofing off, and some people like Shion were quietly sketching schematics for things, the silence was broken as a pair of brown double-doors opened up and a short man with a strange white swirl of hair on the top of his head, he also had a round head, round nose, a single tooth, swirly anime glasses, a white labcoat with red tie and brown boots. He quietly walked over to the large chair at the end of the table and said "Hello there everyone, and to Dr. Freeman my name is Professor Elvin Gadd, but just call me Professor E. Gadd, anyways let's get this meeting started"​

​

E. Gadd pressed a button on the desk causing the lights to go out as a large video screen came down from the cieling as he asked "Dr. Crygor, please check all the doors and windows to see if they're coveed and locked, Ms. Uzuki please join me over here" while Dr. Crygor proceeded to go and check the doors and windows, he quietly gave a thumbs up as E. Gadd pressed another button causing the screen to show the view of the inside of a room containing a large clear capsule housing a woman with light-blue hair and orange eyes who was asleep, beside the capsule were various terminals and monitors that booped and beeped.​

​

"Everyone, this is Gadd Science's top-secret project...this is KOS-MOS" Shion started to explain before E. Gadd started to speak "KOS-MOS was designed as a specialized weapon to deal with various situations, take for instance those creatures that attacked Japan seven years ago, with this weapon we could easily defend Japan from their influence" only for Shion to ask "Could you not refer to her as a weapon Professor, I already had to hit Vexen once today" causing Vexen to point out "KOS-MOS is a dangerous weapon, You, I, and Dr. Crygor knew it when she went nuts and killed some of the staff" with Shion slamming her hands on the desk shouting "That was years ago, we've been at work on her since to perfect her!" only for E. Gadd to step in as he said "Vexen! Shion! Calm yourselves down" causing the two to stop saying anything as E. Gadd sighed as he said "Does anyone have anything else to say in regards to KOS-MOS from a design/creation point of view"​

 

-Flower Shop-

Hearing the door open, Aerith turned and smiled, saying, "Welcome. How may I help?" "Oh, hello. I'm looking for a flower to give at the memorial this afternoon. Um, is it okay that my dog is in here?" Alice asked, looking at her. Aerith smiled, "It's perfectly fine. He appears tame enough not to cause trouble. Is there a specific flower you want?" "Um.... do you have any lilies?" Alice asked. Aerith thought for a moment and went to the back to look for one.



-Abandoned Mansion-

In a old abandoned mansion hidden in the nearby forest region, the White Wizard had chosen to taken residence with the mysterious man in red. Staring out the window in the study room, the White Wizard stayed quiet while the man in red sat at the collapsed deck. The man in red spoke suddenly, "You are very quiet, what is on your mind, my friend?" "It is nothing, DiZ. Nothing at all." The White Wizard said calmly. Namine quietly stepped into the room and asked, "DiZ, is it alright if I go to the memorial this afternoon?" "Yes, Namine. You might go." DiZ said, with that Namine quietly left.

 

~Flower Shop~

Yuri had finished his meal and stretched. "Well, that's me all sorted." he said as Bartz looked at him. "Not staying?" he asked him as Yuri looked at him. "Yeah, can't freeload anymore than needed, see you." Yuri said and was heading for reception to take the front door when he saw a young woman waiting patiently and he stopped walking.

"Isn't she... the one who that annoying voice talked about? The description does match..." He thought, but how would he explain that some voice in his head lead him to her? "You're that Elliot girl aren't you? Bout time I found you." he said rather bluntly.

~Albert Simon~

Albert sat at a café watching passers-by as he sipped what the waitress aid was Green Tea, a healthy concoction which he did find it very accommodating, but he found it pleasant, no word from Kenway about his suggested plan, meaning something else either came up or Miss Elliot was a master of hiding. "So it begins, the Day of Mourning." he said calmly, he planned to attend the memorial, practically to keep up appearances and to respect those who passed on, he was working with the Order sure, but the didn't mean his emotions had be reigned in like a heartless person, life was a treasure that is too precious to be lost, especially with this much of a casualty.

"And so, those have come to pass shall be forever remembered in stone for the generations to look upon and quietly pray that their souls, shall pass onto into the afterlife and watch over them." he said rather poetically and paused for a moment. "Not my strongest suit...." he sipped his tea once again.

 

-Flower Shop-

Alice turned to the man who spoke to her and shook, she said, "Y-yes, my name is Alice Elliot, but who are you?" Alice was scared about who he might be, maybe he was sent by the man who killed her father. Blanca stood ready to protect his master, though he didn't seem like a bad person, if he did anything to Alice, Blanca wasn't going to merciful. Aerith came in with a white lily, she sighed when she saw the scene, she walked up to Alice and gave it to her. "Here, it's on the house." "Thank you, it's very lovely. Goodbye." Alice asked. shyly turning to leave. Aerith went behind Yuri and nudged him to follow her.



-Abandoned Mansion-

Namine sat in her room, by one of the open windows. She was sketching a new picture for White Wizard, she looked at the image she had. It was still a very rough sketch, but the image was beginning to look like a young girl in a long sleeved dress with a unique ring on her finger. Namine began to darken the lines of the girl's dress, and wondered what kind of expression she should give the girl. She pondered why the White Wizard wanted a picture of a girl and looked out her window.



-Detective Agency-

Philip and Hermione came out of the room, with Hermione dressed in a outfit that combined Philip and Shotaro's style while her hair tied in a ponytail and laying on her left shoulder. "Well, Shotaro. What do you think? I did a quick lookup on how to make clothes and made this." Philip said, smiling at his creation. Hermione smiled and said, "It is impressive and creative, thank you, Philip."



-Wajima Residence-

Softly eating a piece of toast, Koyomi sighed and looked at Haruto. she told him, "Haruto, I..... I don't want to go to school anymore! All the other students ever do is tease and make fun of me. And what if I run low on mana at school? You may not be able to come in time to save me....." She gripped her dress and tried to hide her tears

 

~Hospital~​

​

Once Phil and the others left Peppy turned to face Garrus and Shepard with his hands inside the pockets of his coat as he explained "Now, Shepard you know well about the you-know-what at the top of the Nintendo High building correct?" only for Shepard to place a finger on her chin and said "Yeah...that's the thing you mentioned before when you taught me some of those techniques, right?" with Peppy nodding explaining "Yes, that's the one...with the recent S-Type attack from yesterday I am not taking any chances, so I am going to hire some extra security around the you-know-what..and I figured that you would be perfect based upon your history"​

​

This caused Shepard to wave her hands in embaressment with her cheeks glowing red as she said "Now Peppy, you really didn't have to look up my history just to find out about me" causing Peppy to laugh as he said "Of course I didn't, but I wanted to find out more about your story incase something like this happened, now then I don't exactly have any kind of salary planned out for you.." only for Shepard to place a hand on Peppy's head saying rather calmly "I don't need your money, all you simply need to do is give us our daily three meals a day and maybe a place to sleep, that's all I request" boefre Peppy nodded saying happily "That shouldn't be much of a problem, I might have to talk with head-chef Zetsu about the diet of your turian friend over there."​

​

"Of course, actually I have one more thing to, do you mind if I had some extra people on hand to help out, I kinda know some people" Shepard asked quickly only for Peppy to respond quietly "I don't see why not, if they're with you then they're probably good people too", Shepard clapped her hands smiling as she said "Great! Although you might want to speak with the head-chef about the diet for a Quarian too" shortly before the trio started walking towards Room 358 with Peppy saying happily "Of course, I'll be sure to do that"​

​

~Hospital Room 358~​

​

After a few minutes the trio arrived outside of room 358 with Peppy and Garrus quietly entering the room only to see Kairi looking over at the bed, outside the room Shepard pulled out what appeared to be a sleek blue IPhone and started to dial a particular number, she tapped her foot as she heard the sound of ringing​

​

~Nintendo High: Principal's Office~​

​

The S-Type jumped off of the wall and quickly reformed before it started to explain "Of course sir, I believe that this Arfoire lady could be of some use to the Crystal Order if we manage to play our cards right, it is why I request that I be sent on a recruitment mission to Gamindustri, I also need a couple of other things....could I have an Eggplant and Shrimp Tempura from the kitchen?" while scratching its' head as it asked the last part awkwardly.​

 

Location: Unknown

The phone was ringing...odd...hardly anyone ever used the phone...especially to call this number. Telemarketers were impossible...the number was blocked to regular facilities and companies that had no business with the number's owner. Reaching for the phone, what was roughly called an alien, picked up the rather outdated touch-screen iphone. Large black eyes focused on the name accompanied with the number on the screen and a small wave of relief washed through his body. Clicking connect, he held it to his ear, "Siha...and what do I owe the pleasure of your call? Surely it's must be important."
Gadd Science:

Lloyd drummed his fingers on the table, "The attack seven years ago... Against the S-Types you mean? This is your weapon to combat them?" He gave KOS-MOS a slightly pained expression, "She's a bit too...what's the word...flimsy for heavy duty work like that. But I suppose she's not meant as a commando. I've studied her reaction time and looked at the cognitive process flow and it doesn't move all that quickly. Not as quickly as the response time as my Lancelot, but I didn't expect a second-rate scientist to be able to compare to military grade work." Giving a sly smile to Shion, he continued, "As I mentioned before...equipping her with an energy filler and a float device would give her an advantage, but it might be too much of a strain on her systems. Of course if I could run a detailed scan of--" "Ms. Uzuki specifically requested that none of the scientists were to tamper with KOS-MOS's systems. I fear you would do more harm than good." "More harm than good? If an upgrade is harmful I'd refrain from putting it in. I'm not about to break someone else's toy. After all...it's not tampering if I don't even get a chance to look at her properly." Lloyd cast Cecile a mournful look and opened up a laptop, temporarily taking over the screen displaying KOS-MOS. The picture altered with a few taps and displayed a detailed blueprint of a Knightmare frame. "This is the new Knightmare frame I've been working on. Ever since Yuuko told me about the odd S-Type her companion swallowed, I've been interested in trying to find where these creatures come from. I figured since we already have the MARK II to explore the sky and regular Knightmares for ground patrol... I've never really thought of equipping the Knightmares with an underwater theme. Generally we don't need to go underwater for combat...so I let it slide. But after hearing about the....um...Cecile, what was it they were called again?" Cecile snapped to attention, lifting a piece of paper on her clipboard, "Dubior-S and Water Galboros-S." Lloyd nodded, "That's right. Yuuko Ichihara...a woman of known stature, gave me plenty of intel on those two creatures. Regretfully, she didn't send me a sample so I could study it further...but the data was enough." "We theorized that if such beings could manipulate elements as those two did...the others must come from someplace where those elements are abundant. Of course...it didn't narrow our search. Which is why we've started taking precautionary measures," she looked down and frowned, "Though...no matter how many times I've urged Lloyd, he refuses to contact the military. I believe Brigadier General Madara Uchiha and those under his command would be useful in an all out war with these creatures." Lloyd shut his laptop before head of the JIA could stare too long at his plans, "Why involve the Brigadier General? It's not like involving the military will help the matter any. All they do is get in the way and destroy precious research samples. Not to mention everything I give them to play with."

 

"Enough of this!" The Black Mage lifted his hand, and a purple energy started emanating from him. "DIE!" The purple curse flew towards a spear-wielding warrior, only to be pushed away by--
"ENERJAK, WHAT'RE YOU--"
"I'M SAVING YOU!" The warrior pushed out of the way, the one known as Enerjak got hit, and he disappeared, screaming.

-Random Building in Tokyo-

​

[/url]"Ah--Wh--" He woke up with a start. He looked around him. Of course. Nothing but a-- "Dream..." He sighed. It's barely been a few hours since he got here, and already he was starting to have nightmares. He was on top of a roof, and it was pretty bright, even at this hour. "This place...So strange. So many lights...This place reminds me of Kerning City. Maybe it IS a city, but a different kind. More colorful...more peaceful." He didn't know if he liked it or not. He was more used to battle, to become stronger, to 'level up' as some might call it, but still, the fact that the people here weren't having much trouble was soothing. Although he didn't realize how wrong he was. There was definitely trouble, and he was going to get sucked in to it.

He got up on to his feet, having been sitting, and stretched. "If I'm going to stay here...I might as well take my time learning this place's twists and turns." He looked around for the closest building. "Ah, there..." One building, a few meters away, several stories shorter. "No problem." He took a few steps back, took a running start, and jumped. He landed, and rolled to absorb the shock. He was alright.

"Not bad...But can you do more?"
