Sonally Celebration Week! Year Three, Day Six: Rescue

Sonally Celebration Week, Year Three, Day Six: Rescue

Day six, and admittedly the toughest piece to write since well, action scenes require more finesse than a domestic/slice of life story. The journey continues, and since my main focus mostly centers on Sonic and Sally’s post Robotnik/Eggman war peace time lives, I like to flex different events when the prompts give way to good inspiration. When one has to do with rescuing, well, let’s just say, if you’re dumb enough to harm someone’s children, woe comes to you in waves.

Day Six: Rescue.

It was supposed to have been a nice, pleasant day. Go to Spagonia with your big bro and his wife, enjoy flying in a fancy transport ship. While Sonic and Sally do the diplomatic thing, Sonia and Manic would watch J.C. and Kathy as they got to enjoy the city. See the sights, enjoy some ice cream and crepes from the city vendors, and just have a good old time! However, it wasn’t to last, the day was ruined when the sound of their ‘secret tail’ security guards crying out after being, well truthfully Sonia didn’t get to hear what exactly happened to their bodyguards (she hoped they were alive). All she heard was some muffled noise; some people screaming, and suddenly a van rolled up, and people in masks and jumpsuits grabbed and knocked them all out.

After coming too, she woke up to a bag over her head, only to have it torn off, and bright lights flashing in her face. A camera was aimed at them as some jerkoff using a voice-modulating helmet to obscure his identity was making some long list of demands and basically laid out they were collateral if those demands were not met. She tried to make everything out, but she was still groggy from waking up from whatever they used to knock her out. Manic was no better when she asked him if he gleaned anything she missed, sadly he was as groggy as she had been. She knew better than to ask the kids, clearly the six-year-olds were ‘terrified’ and wanted nothing more than to go home and jump into their parents arms.

Hell, the sixteen year old herself wanted to hug her parents just as badly. After that song and dance with the camera, all four were dragged to this cell of sorts, and left there with a guard detail. Whatever they wanted, they seemed to be serious, or at least wanted to come off that way. Her keen eye noticed some of their guards seemed unsettled. Like they were not keen they had kidnapped children. Maybe she, or Manic could use that? A little of the ol’ duo-charm to-.

“Auntie Sonia?” The small, childish voice snapped the older hedgehog out of her thoughts. Instantly her head snapped to the small child resting in her lap.

Forcing a calm smile, Sonia gently petted Kathleen’s soft auburn hair, which had blue tips at the end. Many thought it was dyed, but it was merely something that seemed to happen to both children, who inherited their Mother’s auburn tresses. Yet at the tips, bits of blue would form over time. No doubt the stubbornness of her big brother’s genes at work. Just hand to mingle with Sally’s.

“What’s up kiddo?” She asked her niece as she continued to stroke her head, and did her best to seem calm and collected. She and Manic were the adults here, they needed to be strong for these precious babies.

Green eyes look up, then over to the cell door, then back to Sonia’s own. “I wanna go home.” A simple request, but what child wouldn’t want to go home with this kind of situation abound? “Why do these guys wanna be mean to Mommy and Daddy?”

Another voice spoke up, the disdain high and snark on full. “Cuz they’re- and I quote.” Manic Hedgehog interjected, keeping his voice calm, and then upping the volume as he aimed his words at their guard. “A BUNCHA COWARDS WHO RESORT TO KIDNAPPING KIDS!!” He shouted with full malice at their captors, which made both children recoil, and his sister wince.

“Manic!” Hissed Sonia as she reached out and yanked at his ear. “Stop it! You’re just making it harder for J.C. and Kathy!” She growled at her brother, her eyes going to the door to their cell and sure enough their masked guard had turned to regard them. Thankfully he just turned away and went back to guarding.

“Well these bozos need to know what kind of d*ckless, wussies they are!” Retorted Manic, the green-dyed-furred hedgehog with a growl in his voice. Usually Manic was chill, and easy-going with a touch of mischief. He was running red right now, his niece, nephew and sister being put in danger can do that to someone. “Plus they’re f*cking idiots!”

“Manic, language!” Sonia chastised further as she covered his mouth with a hand. “Not that I disagree with you, but is antagonizing our captors the wisest idea?!”

Removing her hand from his mouth, Manic let out a dismissive snort. Yet his gaze softened some as he saw the kids were looking antsy again. “Maybe not, but seriously what kind of idiots kidnaps the Prince and Princess of a Kingdom? I mean, you want a war? Plus think of their parents, heroes of the war against the Big Robo and Big Eggy! I mean that’s a recipe for doom more than my Taco Tuesday Blowout Cookout.” The food wasn’t the issue, so much as the aftermath, but worth it in Manic’s eyes.

A small rumbling was heard and J.C. blushed as eyes rested on him. “...I’m hungry, and Uncle Manic makes great tacos.” He managed a smile, despite clearly still being scared.”

“Heheh, once we get out I’ll make us all some.” Manic promised as he lovingly scratched the back of his nephew’s ears. He did the same for Kathleen, not wanting her to feel left out. “Also, sorry about the yelling and language, I’m just pis-er-pointedly angry at the bad guys.”

“We’re ‘not’ the bad guys.” Their guard finally spoke, snorting loudly. The way he seemed to clutch his weapon and his covered tail (they seemed intent to make it hard to guess their species) twitch and move, hinted at his anger at such an accusation.

Despite having just chastised Manic for antagonizing their captors; Sonia found herself unable to not engage them. “Not from where we’re standing. Uncouth as my brother put it, he called it right. Nobody who kidnaps children are the good guys.”

“We’re not going to harm you, we’re just sending a message.” His steadfast tone, carried a firmness of whatever convictions he carried about their unknown ‘cause’.

“What sort of message? We’re kidnapping your kids, so we invite you to come kick our butts? Seriously, what else do you expect?” Sonia inquired, keeping her tone polite, hoping perhaps this guard might spill some kernel of information they could use. Then a thought occurred to her. “What happened to the bodyguards watching us? I heard them cry out, did you capture them too or did you kill them?”

“We shot them, but we didn’t shoot to kill.” The guard callously responded. “They should live.”

“Do you know that for a fact? Even a crippling gunshot can lead to death if they bleed out before they get help or the injury causes the right amount of trauma. I heard multiple muffled sounds… If they got shot multiple times that increases the chances they didn’t make it.” The magenta-dyed hedgehog stated with cold, medical fact. “They also had families, so nice job dipwad, you possibly widowed and orphaned two families.” It was petty, but seeing his body language shift and just slightly shake before firming back up gave Sonia a sense of satisfaction. “You could have used stun-blasters.”

The guard hissed back his reply, but she could tell he was trying to justify his words to himself. “You can’t silence stun-blasters.”

Rolling his eyes, Manic decided to chime in. “So you bozos prioritized not making noise, over making your little power grab as bloodless as possible.”

“If they die, our leaders will make it right, all of this has a purpose! It’s to make things better-!”

It wasn’t Sonia or Manic that cut the man off, but J.C.’s small but clearly angry voice. “So making Mr. Hunigan and Mrs. Fletcher dead is alright when you say so?” The boy’s fists clenched tightly. “They were nice people, and we know their kids, they’re our friends… you took their Dad n’ Mom from them you-you, j-jerk!”

“Gee, even the six year old can see it clear as day.” Sonia icily sneered at their captor, scooting closer she slid both her arms around her family and kept them close.

“Mommy, sh-she and Daddy are gonna find us.” Kathleen managed to speak up, wiping her eyes, like her brother managed the most fearsome glare she could. “They’ll find us and kick your butts! They’re heroes, they always save the day!”

Turning, the guard’s helmet, visor and cloth covering their mouth obscured whatever Mobian species they were. “Your parents are part of the problem! If not for the Acorn Kingdom’s meddling along with the other outsider nations, we wouldn’t need to do this!”

“Only meanies justify their actions by blaming others!” Humphed the young princess as she turned her head away, as if to utterly disregard her captor. Oh Sonia and Manic’s heart swelled.

“I gotta agree with Kathy here, sounds like blame-gaming here-.” Manic mused, only to be cut off by their clearly irate captor.

“If they hadn’t meddled with the trade tariffs making exporting goods harder, not to mention their invasive meddling with our affiliate cities-!”

A lightbulb went off in Sonia’s head. “Wait, wait, time out!” She put her hands together in the referee gesture to hopefully get a word in. “You guys are blaming them for the trade issues and the Acorn Kingdom’s presence in your sister cities? Um, dude, hoo boy, you are probably being played by whoever your leaders are.”

“Bite your tongue-!” “Okay you know what, screw that, and kids I’m sorry but-.” After giving her niece and nephew an apologetic look, she quickly sent her captor a fiery glare. “First off, F*CK you! Second, the Kingdom sent delegations to those cities BY REQUEST! The mayors asked for aid in looking into some oddities with exports from Spagonia going in and out because they realized something was hinky with the weird laws and micro-managing coming out of Spagonia’s Trade & Commerce Ministry. Any of your Minister’s calling the investigations meddling or preludes to occupation are trying to play the dodge game moron! Second of all, the tariff problem? I shouldn’t say this, but I love talking shop with my sis-in-law, and boy a lot of the issues stem from how they were set up, like someone ‘wanted’ the tariffs to cause issues and sow discord. It’s a big political set-up but my big-brained Sis likes big-brained chess and she’s onto some corruption from within Spagonia’s Trade & Commerce Ministry.”

She watched as the guard looked uneasy, and his compatriot to the far way seemed to be listening in as well and had lowered his weapon some. “That, that can’t be possible.”

Footsteps could be heard as another similarly dressed guard walked into view of the first one. “Ignore them comrade, they’re trying to unnerve you.” “What if it’s true our leaders are lying to us? Given who some of them are-.” “Shut your mouth before you give anything away!” The other, more burly guard hissed as he raised a gloved hand, poised to smack his comrade if he didn’t do as he said. With his associate cowed, he turned to the cell and pointed his weapon. “Shut your mouths or I might just have to shut it for you.”

Manic moved in front of his sister, nephew and niece, arms out. “Touch them buddy, and you and I are gonna tussle!”

“Uncle Manny don’t!” “D-don’t get hurt!” “Manny…” Sonia held the children close, but tried to soothe her brother. “Don’t, they’re clearly too deluded to listen.”

“You will see it is you who is delusional!” The burly captor spoke, with a zeal of a true-believer. “Once it’s clear your Queen and your treacherous nation are outed as the villains they are, things will become bet-.”

Suddenly the entire room rumbled, and the sound of muffled shouts, and fighting could be heard in the other room. All their captors turned toward the metal door just out of view of Sonia, Manic and the children. Suddenly the door flies off its hinges, slamming into the far guard who cried out in pain and terror as they are taken out. A familiar ‘rev up’ sound is heard and then a blue blur slams into the burly captor sending him flying. As the sounds of fists fly, another far off captor raises their weapon, only for the sound of jets to get clouder and a familiar southern drawl is heard shouting. “TAKE A NAP YA’ CREEP!” A blaster bolt is heard firing off screen. Soon a blue energy blast hits the captor, causing them to drop their weapon as the stun-bolt freezes their whole body. As another guard attempts to fight, the flying Rabbot zooms him and body-tackles the would-be-attacker, a loud, thick ‘crunch’ of metal hitting flesh is heard. Clearly a one-hit-KO.

The original guard readies their weapon, trying to pick a target, clearly panicking. “Ho-hold or I’ll shoot!”

*KER-SLICE!!*

Their weapon is cleaved in two, falling from their hands, and in the next half-second, the tip of the weapon responsible is held at their throat. This man finds himself looking into the very, angry blue eyes of the Queen of the Acorn Kingdom herself, Sally Acorn. Wielding an ornate sword with the crest of her family on the hilt, and ornate lines etched into the blade. For a second the guard swore the weapon’s blade glowed for a moment, but whatever the case, it was clear the Sword of Acorns (reforged and imbued with Sally’s residue Super energy) was capable of cutting quite nicely.

Her voice was ever commanding, calm and serene, yet deadly and potent. She was clearly angry, but using said anger as a laser-focused weapon instead of being consumed by it. For now.

“You will let my babies and my younger siblings out of that cell. Now, no questions. If you so much as dare do anything but I ask, you will regret it. Do not force me to spill blood before my children, because you WILL live to regret it.” She vowed.

“N’ she ain’t the only one you need ta’ worry about.” Uttered Bunnie Rabbot, as she got up from pummeling her foe into unconsciousness. She flexed both of her cybernetic arms which transformed into blaster mode on the right, and nasty energy axe on the left. “You further threaten my God-Children or Manny and Sonia’s well-being. I might just forget I’m a Southern Lady.” While plain and frank, there was a menace in her eyes mirroring Sally’s, and the hum of her weapons furthered showed she was not playing games.

A small ‘boom’ and a flash of blue from across the room, and the guard found Sonic the Hedgehog on the other side of him, arms crossed, and foot tapping rapidly. “Door, open, my kids and siblings safely in arms, now!’ He didn’t bother making threats, he didn’t need to.

The guard simply let out a pathetic sound, wet himself and passed out onto the floor.

Without a word, Sonic dug at their belt, found the key and quickly as he could unlocked the cell door, and threw it open. All anger, and intimidation left his face (as well as Sally and Bunnie who put away their weapons) as the look of a worried parent and brother overcame all else. “Are you four okay?! Did they hurt you any-?!” “DADDY, MOMMY!!” Instantly Kathleen, and J.C. dashed into the arms of their Father, with their Mother soon joining in the hug, checking them over.

“Oh my babies!” Sally clutched her family tightly, kissing the children all over their faces and tops of their heads, as she checked them for injuries. “It’s okay now, Daddy and Mommy are here, oh God I’m so sorry this happened, that we weren’t there to stop you from being taken.” She babbled, as the kept-in-check emotions burst from the dam she erected to focus on the rescue.

“We’re sorry, we’re sorry…” Sonic murmured, his heart still racing even with all his joy held firmly in his arms. Lifting his gaze, tear-stained he looked to his siblings worriedly. “How’re you two holding up? They didn’t hurt any of you did they?”

“Nah, they just… dragged us around at most.” Manic shrugged, but was clearly relieved this whole thing was over. As he stood he found his legs shaking, and leaned against his equally leg-shakey sister. “All that said, glad you guys found us so soon.” Moving closer, Bunnie shifted her arms, what was metal now, began to flash with energy and seemingly disassemble back to flesh and blood. The wonders of bio-nanite tech. Once her arms were organic again she pulled the two hedgehog siblings into a hug. “Sorry we didn’t get here sooner sugah, but we had to basically strong-arm some of the Spagonia government to give us the okay to act. Though once Sally n’ Sonic scared these bozos' supposed leaders into talkin’ they squealed like- well sumthin I can’t say within earshot of kiddos.”

Sonia let herself chuckle, relief and a sense of security flooding her being as she leaned into the hug. “So, lemme guess, the Trade Minister and his flunkies were the culprits?”

“Yeah, I mean we were gonna confront em’ with the evidence Nicole uncovered, but you all bein’ taken kinda forced our hands.” Bunnie further explained as she scratched the back of their ears soothingly. “U-Uncle Manny and Auntie Sonia, looked after us, we’re okay…” J.C. managed to speak once his throat wasn’t sore from crying (this time from happiness).

“Hmm-hmm, they’re the best as always!” Kathleen agreed, sniffling and wiping her eyes as she remained cocooned by her parents and brother.

Smiling, Sonic reached over and managed to give each of his younger siblings an affectionate arm-punch. “Somehow I knew they’d have it under control.” Well more hoped, but he didn’t want to devalue his sibling’s efforts. No if anything he wanted them to ride the pride of keeping themselves and the kids safe.

“Lucky for us, as Sonia called it, these guys were morons. Dangerous ones, but morons.” The green-furred hedgehog blew out a breath, and then he recalled something. “Um, ah, how’re Agent Fletcher and Hunigan?”

“Alive.” Sally replied, still nuzzling her children, still unwilling to let them go. Her own heartbeat was finally starting to calm down and the adrenaline high was crashing. “They were hurt badly, but both are tenacious and they got help just in time. They might have to retire from active duty early but we’ll be sure they’ll be looked after, their families too.”

“Oh thank goodness!” The two teens, and the younger children exclaimed, as joy at the news eased their hearts from the dread they felt prior.

Footsteps could be heard approaching, but the boot clomps’ were familiar. So no one tensed or got ready for another fight. Especially once Captain of the Royal Guard, Antoine D’Coolette emerged, wiping his sword blade clean with a cloth before sheathing it into its scabbard. “My Queen, ze fools have been disarmed, and rounded up. As you requested, we managed to take them all alive, if injured.” After a beat, he contemplated making a joke about some being ‘literally’ disarmed, but with the children there, he decided against it. “How are ze young ones?” He asked, decorum giving way to concerned God-Father, and as a fellow parent.

“Thankfully unhurt Sugah-Twan.” His wife replied, flashing a smile his way. “Where’s Tangle n’ Whisper?”

“Helping out Tails to ensure we didn’t miss anyone and secure the location.” Informed Antoine as he walked over, making sure all were fine, if to soothe his own fretful nature. They also will wish to zee’ that our rescuee’s are le’fine.”

Sniffing away the last of her tears, Kathleen looked up at her Mother. “Uncle Tails came too? I thought he was testing his new plane in the South Seas?”

“Once he heard the news, he jetted over as fast as he could and offered to help.” replied Sonic with a wide smirk of pride and relief for his ‘not-so-little’ bro. “Family sticks together, and well you guys are as much family as his own. Which by the way, I’m sure Tails will wanna set up a face-chat so Mina can see you’re all fine.”

“She is very fond of her biggest fans.” Chuckled Sally, who internally still found it ‘very’ weird, that Tails and Mina Mongoose hooked up. Their age gap wasn’t too bad, and clearly whatever happened to bring about their dating didn’t occur until Tais was eighteen/nineteen-ish. Then again he clearly had a thing for older women, at least his choices after Fiona Fox were an improved taste. As long as Mina was good to Tails, that was all she cared about, and they did seem like a good couple. Still weird but that was on her.

“Can we leave now?” J.C. asked softly looking up at both his parents hopefully.

“You got it son, we’ll juice n’ jam out of here and get you guys some food and tucked in for the night.”

“Can we have a sleepover in the hotel suite? Like all of us with blankets on the floor and pillows nests?” Asked Kathleen with big, hopefully eyes. A look her brother mirrored and nodded to her suggestion.

“Yeah, can we have a sleepover?!” Manic echoed, doing his best impersonation of the look.

“I don’t see why not, if everyone else is on board.” “Wouldn’t be hard for us all to fit in, big ol’ space, and like you could ask us to stay away after today.” Bunnie voiced her opinion with a warm smile at the children. Giving them assurance she was on board.

“Like the saying goes, the more the merrier.” Antoine stated to voice his blessing. “Plus I’m sure Bunnie and my own angels would love the idea as they too were worried about you four. As was your Nanny Miss Cream.” The coyote gently ruffled the hair of the two youngsters, his mind drifting to his children two years their senior. Yes, if they had been through this, he’d gladly acquiesce any whimsy they wanted within reason, and a sleepover to help soothe their nerves? A piece of cake.

Kathleen’s face fell as childish concern flooded her mind. “Oh no, that’s right, we were supposed to meet Jacque, Belle and Miss Cream after lunch…” “Hey they know we didn’t stand 'em’ up by choice.” Manic interjected as he flashed a smile and reached over to ruffle his niece’s cheek tufts.

“Let’s blow this pop stand, I want a hot bath, lots of bubbles and all the cheese cake…” Sonia muttered, feeling her own adrenaline rush and the weight of the whole ordeal finally sapping her energy.

“I hear that, let’s go home everyone.

Digimon Adventure: 2020 – Episode 31: A New Darkness, Millenniumon (Review)

Thoughts on the thirty-first episode of the Digimon Adventure reboot series.

. . . I’m a week late. Apologies. I just got really used to not writing an episode review during the show’s two-week hiatus, and just couldn’t bring myself to do it last week . . . XD; Rewatching an episode to write down thoughts is a chore, you know? :D

WarGreymon: “I can feel overflowing power.” Well, you should. Your TOENAIL is as big as TAICHI’S WHOLE BEING, you massive freak. Sorry, I shouldn’t size-shame. :D

Piyomon: “What an amazing evolution! How did you guys do it?” Taichi: “*shrugs.* Things just fall my way. Like, all the time. Helps to be the reboot’s sole protagonist. Favouritism, amirite?” XD; Am I wrong? :P

Lopmon went from cute to creepy real fast. He reminded me of a possessed Hikari from the OG. Or just Hikari right now. That works, too.

So only Lopmon, Patamon and SkullKnightmon reacted to WarGreymon’s “awakening”. The SkullKnightmon-is-Tailmon theory just got a thousand times more credible. (Though the Devimon-is-Angemon theory was way more interesting and Toei should have actually done it, in my opinion.)

Lopmon lore-dumps for the first half of the episode. It was interesting, though, even if it was an extended account of what we already knew previously. I liked the way they presented it and it kept my attention more than 2020′s usual mindless action.

Master Jedi Lopmon simply raises his hands and clears a path in the forest . . . O_o; This series is just giving immense power to the Holy Digimon/ancient warriors because these tiny-arse digimon like Lopmon and Tokomon/Patamon should not have that much power in their lower forms. Even WarGreymon can’t sustain his Mega evolution for long. But whatever works for the plot, right?

Awww, Cherubimon! I like his design a lot. :D We also see a lot of new Digimon appear this episode, which is cool too!

Lopmon: “I no longer hold any power, but I do possess hope!” Bro, you are literally floating as you’re immersing others in a 3D virtual world of your old memories . . . I think you can still be of some help! :P Oh, right, you’re just a plot device for this episode. See you again never. :D

Re: the ISS issue that’s just happening solely via Koushirou’s dialogue with Tentomon - man, the Digital World really has it in for Tokyo, doesn’t it? It’s always this one specific city. I would just move already. :D

Sora was in this episode a fair amount, but she never really does much of anything. She does things but it’s always background stuff (except for that one epic moment she came in and saved Taichi before). Eh. I want her to be more of an impactful character in the plot, please Toei?

How many times is Taichi going to show his courage and win a fight? Every episode? I’m so tired of this. :P

Lopmon: “The Holy Digimon is the name that points to the two souls who are a pair.” Yeah, pretty sure that a thousand Takari fans have never been more erect than when that sentence was uttered. :P

Sora: “Then that means there’s someone else like Takeru-kun, another one of us.” Taichi: “Is it Hikari?” OF COURSE IT’S HIKARI, SORA, HAVE YOU NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION? This scene made Sora look clueless next to Taichi - which is definitely weird. I don’t think it’s odd for Taichi to put it together - I think it’s odd for Sora not to, as well. :P

Next episode preview: Takeru protecting his future sister-in-law Sora! I’M EXCITED! :D

Overall, a decent episode. Though Lopmon spent a lot of time telling us what a miraculous and power-draining event a Mega evolution was . . . and Agumon does it twice within like 5 minutes (slight exaggeration). Cool. :D

So Toei decided to have a WarGreymon evolution episode tide us over for the two-week hiatus - and then the episode we all come back to is . . . another WarGreymon evolution episode, LOL. What even. Did I even experience a new episode? Not sure. XD;

Anyway, hopefully “next week’s” episode review will be up on time though - tomorrow! ^^;

I’ll Handle This (2)

OMG! Part 2 is here!!

I'm still finishing up two other fics, and this one's on the back burner for a little while. I apologize for pauses between uploads. I hope that makes it worth it!

Ao3 | FF.net

Plagg arrived at school on foot, which startled several people.

Of course, his choice of dress could have influenced that as well.

"Dude, what are you wearing? And…did you walk to school?"

Plagg held out a second coffee to Nino. "Yep. And as for what I'm wearing, I picked what I thought would make my father the angriest."

"Did it?"

Plagg turned around. "I'm not bleeding am I? I had to break a window to get out of the house."

"Dude!"

"So am I bleeding or what?"

"N-no, you're not. But what's gotten into you? You usually fold like a paper crane when it comes to your dad."

"Ooh, nice analogy. I'm usually pretty partial to Jello left out on the counter at room temperature, when it gets all melty and chunky."

Nino blinked. "I repeat, what's gotten into you?"

"Just tired of being a doormat."

Nino gave a little punch to his shoulder. "Hell yeah, stick it to the man!"

"But my dad's not the only problem I'm trying to fix."

"Oh?"

"You know Lila's a pathological liar, right? And that she's been sexually harassing me for the better part of a year?"

"WHAT?!" Nino shouted.

"Yeah, she's really good at manipulating people to get what she wants. Like how she got herself invited to my photoshoots. Don't know how that happened but it's super unprofessional. Also, she got Marinette expelled. Remember when she said Marinette pushed her down the stairs and garbage? Total lies. She only backed out of it when I threatened our 'friendship'."

"Why didn't you tell me about this before?! Lila's been babysitting Chris! And Ella and Etta! She said she was a certified babysitter!"

"I mean, Marinette's been telling everyone she's a liar for a while. So…"

"Well…" Nino rubbed the back of his head.

"Well what? What reason did Marinette give you to doubt her?"

Nino winced. "…I can't really tell you…it's not my place, and Alya will kill me."

Plagg threw his arms up in the air with a groan, nearly splashing coffee on his crop top. "Is there no communication with you people!? Just talk! Enough with the secrets!"

Nino blinked. "Uh…what other secrets are you talking about?"

Plagg shook his head, realizing he'd spilt a few beans. And some things really did need to remain secret. "Ugh, whatever. Doesn't matter. You just…spill!"

"No way dude! Marinette's my friend, and I won't tell her secrets without her permission!"

Plagg rested a hand on his shoulder. "You're a good dude, you know?"

"Oh so now it's a good thing that I'm hiding stuff from you? Pick a mood."

Instead, Plagg took a sip from his coffee. Having a human tongue again was so weird. It was a complexed organ with equal taste buds, instead of the 'smelly savory' he was used to as a kwami.

And if Adrien didn't like cheese, it wouldn't be likely that Plagg would still enjoy it in his body. His eyes glanced around the entrance of the school, taking notice of all the people who were side-eyeing him. Nearly everyone had their attention on him and Nino, though they were trying to be sneaky about it.

Humans were so funny.

And then he noticed Marinette approaching. She looked awful. Big bags under her eyes, dragging her feet, slouched shoulders. The look of a guardian who was downtrodden and exhausted.

"Hey Nino, wanna see something hilarious?"

"Absolutely."

"Here, hold this." He handed him his coffee. Then he tighten the sleeves of the flannel around his waist and ran full speed at Marinette, his arms out at his sides. "MAAAARRRRIIIINNEEETTTEEE!" He shouted.

Hearing her name being shouted startled the poor girl, and she seized up, holding her arms to her chest. Plagg collided with her, wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug and lifting to spin her around several times.

"Ad-d-d-rrrriiieennn!" She exclaimed, as she was rag dolled around.

Finally, he set her back on her feet and patted her on the head. "Sorry, you looked like you needed an extreme hug."

A big smile emerged on her face, accompanied by a very endearing blush. "Thanks Adrien. I did! I feel better now!"

Plagg knew it would take more than an intense hug to fix everything on Marinette's plate. There was likely more bothering her than just the loss of Master Fu, too. But he was out to fix Adrien's problems, not hers. But hopefully, one of his problems would directly help her.

"Um…" Marinette started, looking him up and down. "Your father let you out of the house like that?"

"Oh, absolutely not. I snuck out."

"Adrien!" She gawked.

"It'll be fine." He waved her off.

Alya approached them, her jaw on the floor. "Adrien, what was that?"

Nino was just a step behind her, giggling.

"Have you never seen an epic hug before? Nino, you need to step up your game."

"I guess I do!" Nino chuckled. "Here's your coffee back, dude."

"Thanks." Plagg took the coffee with one hand while the other stayed firmly over Marinette's shoulder.

"You're being kind of friendly with Marinette this morning, aren't you?"

Plagg shrugged. "I just happen to think her shoulder is a really nice arm rest."

"Did you ask her permission?"

"Oh, you know, I didn't. Can I put my arm around you, Marinette?"

Marinette's giant panicked grin and a high pitch squeal was the only response he got.

"I'll take that as a yes." He squeezed her.

"Oh!" Alya chirped, taking out her phone. "Lila had an akuma in her room last night! Ladybug and Chat Noir stayed afterwards and hung out with her afterwards to make sure she was okay! She gave me this interview for my blog—"

"FAKE NEWS!" Plagg shouted, startling everyone around him. Alya almost dropped her phone.

"What?" She asked.

"I said, Fake News. There was no akuma last night."

"How do you know?" Alya got defensive. "The akuma alarm only goes off when someone sees the akuma. It happened so late last night, that no one was awake."

"I have an akuma sixth sense." Plagg explained, ignoring Adrien pinching his thigh inside his shirt. "But besides that, Lila is a big, bold-faced liar."

Alya sighed, rolling her eyes. "I expect that from Marinette, but you too now?"

"I've always known Lila was a liar, but I tried to play nice because she's super destructive when she wants to be. Just look at what she did to Marinette!"

Alya gave Marinette a once over, looking for injuries. "I don't follow."

Plagg huffed. "The expulsion? Surely you're not dumb enough to believe that Lila has some sort of disease that makes her…what did she say? Periodically lie? Misremember? I can't even remember what she said, but she revoked her evidence to get Marinette back into school."

Alya frowned. "She told me she was taking the heat for whoever this real person is. Someone wanted Marinette out of school, and Lila retracted her evidence because she knows Marinette wouldn't do that stuff."

Plagg blew a loud raspberry at her, making spittle fly into her face. "Of course she told you that, because she can't possibly be seen as the villain."

"What are you getting at, Adrien?"

"I'm the reason Lila retracted her evidence. She targeted Marinette. She's been targeting Marinette. I gave her an ultimatum. She could stop lying about Marinette, or I would retract our supposed 'friendship' and get her removed from modeling with me."

Alya and Nino just blinked at him several times, before Alya shouted, "WHAT?!"

"Yeah, like I said, I didn't say anything because I didn't want her to get akumatized, she may have turned on me, and I assumed eventually she'd lie herself into a hole and everyone would figure her out. But I guess everyone is denser than I expected."

"Harsh, bro."

"Nah. You'll thank me for this. Especially you, Alya. You want a reputable blog, right? What am I saying? You, of course, double check all of your sources! And if someone makes any outlandish claims that could get someone in trouble, you don't just post them willy-nilly. That's why I like you, Alya, you're discerning and thorough!"

Alya opened her mouth to retort, but shut it right after. "Yeah. Thanks." She finally said.

Marinette groaned. "Here comes the devil herself."

Lila sashayed up to the group, wrapping her arms around Plagg and yanking him free from Marinette. "Adrien! It's so good to see you this morning! I had such a fun time at the shoot—"

Plagg didn't let her finish before he forcefully ripped himself out of her grasp. "DON'T TOUCH ME!"

His shout drew attention from everyone else around.

Lila laughed it off awkwardly. "Oh Adrien, you scared me! I'm not going to hurt you." And she reached for him again.

But Plagg danced away from her, behind Marinette and shouted. "HEY DON'T TOUCH ME THERE! THIS IS MY NO-NO SQUARE!"

Marinette was the only one that laughed, but it was mostly just a choked snort.

"What are you talking about?" Lila asked, pouting, "I wasn't touching you anywhere bad."

"R-A-P-E! GET YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM ME!"

"I think maybe you should keep your hands to yourself," Marinette said gently.

The flittering rage on Lila's face went ignored by Alya and Nino. "I'm not sure what's going on. Adrien's just being kind of goofy today."

"I agree," said Nino. "You break out of your house, now this? This is more than not being a doormat."

Plagg realized he may have taken things a bit too far too fast, and that his cover was in danger of being blown.

"Well! Would you look at the time! I gotta piss! See you in class!" And he took off running into the school.

Being inside a pocket meant that he didn't always see what direction Adrien went. But the bathroom was easy enough to find once he double backed on himself.

Thankfully, the bathroom was empty. And Adrien emerged the second the stall closed. "What did I say!? You wouldn't last five minutes! Everyone is suspicious of you! And what was that thing with Marinette? I thought you were going to fix my problems with Ladybug!"

Plagg held up his hands in defense. "Relax. I just got a little ahead of myself. You know, taking advantage of the situation?"

"What situation?"

"Alya brought up Lila, not me! I couldn't pretend to care! I can't even pretend to care about your problems and I love you!"

"Aw, Plagg. You love me?"

"That's what you got out of that?"

"I knew you were a big softy."

"You know who's actually soft? You." He poked his stomach. "That's what's got you in the situation in the first place!"

"Um, I'd argue it was your trickery."

"So you're soft and gullible. Got it."

"Hey!"

"Like I said last night, kid: You've only been on this planet for 15 years, and social for one. You're bound to be a little naïve. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Tikki would say it's honorable."

"And what would you call it?"

Plagg put a finger to his mouth in mock thought. "Unfortunate."

Adrien sighed, losing altitude. "You still didn't answer my question about Marinette."

"Trust me, getting cosy with Marinette is the key to solving your Ladybug trouble."

"You better not flirt with her! I don't like her that way, and I don't want to break her heart."

"You say that now…"

The bathroom door opened, so Plagg was quick to usher Adrien back into the pocket. "I'll roll it back a little, happy?"

"Not in the slightest."

—

Plagg appeared in the classroom just in time for class to start.

"YO, WHAT IS UP MY DUDES!?" He called, walking into the room with a beat in his step.

The scoff from his pocket went unnoticed by everyone else.

"Adrien, you know I'm not a fan of yelling in my classroom." Miss Bustier warned, patiently.

"Sorry Teach."

"And your outfit is outside of the dress code. Do you have something that covers your mid-drift?"

"No problems there, baby." He untied the flannel from around his waist, and slipped it over his shoulders, then buttoned the bottom few buttons, unaligned. "There, Gucci right?"

She raised an eyebrow, "And the sunglasses?"

"Sorry teach, I've got a major migraine and, low-key, kind of want to die. Glasses stay on, or I will cry."

Miss Bustier just sighed. "As long as you're not disrupting my class, I suppose that's fine."

"Sick." And he slid into his desk, propping his shoes up on the table.

"Sit in your chair like a normal person, please."

Plagg had to glance around to see how everyone else was sitting before he corrected his posture.

Now that he was wearing the flannel, it was a lot less comfortable for Adrien to be in the pocket. He poked and prodded at Plagg's chest to be moved. Thankfully, Plagg had mercy on him and scooped him from his pocket and deposited him into his bag.

From the bag, Adrien tried to watch Plagg, but he seemed to settle down once Miss Bustier started the lesson. Was he even taking notes?

"Plagg!" A sharp hiss came from his side, before a red kwami appeared.

"Tikki?" He choked.

"What the heck is going on with your holder?! He's acting really really weird!"

"Um…"

"My holder is worried about him!"

"She is? She saw all that?"

Tikki huffed. "How could she not?! She's right there!" And she made the fatal mistake of pointing at Marinette.

In hindsight, it was pretty obvious. He had guessed before, and he had hunches, but she had very cleverly removed herself from suspicion during Kwami Buster with Multimouse.

"Oh…that's why he said buttering up to Marinette would solve my Ladybug problem."

Tikki frowned. "What are you talking about? Who said what?"

Adrien awkwardly scratched his ear. "Heh…it seems there's been a tiny mix up. I'm not—" but a bunch of bubbles came out of his mouth. "Ugh. I'm Adrien."

Tikki's eyes grew impossibly large. "YOU'RE—" she grabbed him and yanked him down, phasing into the steps below.

It was an odd sensation, one that he didn't get to think about before Tikki was yelling at him. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU'RE ADRIEN?! You're supposed to be Plagg! And only Plagg!"

"I don't know! It all happened so fast! Last night we had an argument about my problems and he said it wasn't that big of a deal and I said he wouldn't be able to handle it and he said he'd fix it right away and then he made some pact and then I woke up like this and he was like that and I don't know what to do!"

"Okay, first, take a breath." She instructed, calmly.

He did so, taking another, and another, "okay...okay...I'm calm."

"Okay. Good. Now, what were the conditions of the pact?"

"I...I'm not sure? He said he was going to fix three big problems of mine."

"Which are?"

"Repairing my relationship with my father."

"Yikes. Okay, and?"

"Getting Lila to stop bothering me."

"Okay, what else?"

"And get Ladybug to love me back."

"That dirty rotten cheater!" She scowled.

"What?"

"Ugh," she rubbed her nubs over her head. "Promise you won't get mad?"

"Um...sure."

"Plagg and I both knew how you felt about..her. We had a running bet who would fall for who first, Adrien for Marinette, or Ladybug for Chat Noir."

He frowned at her. "I thought you were the mature one."

"I am. But I'm also thousands of years old. Teenager's love lives are like…corny TV shows for me. Besides, we're not supposed to meddle in the affairs of the human world." She glanced up towards the stairs, where Plagg was sitting on the other side.

"Does he do this a lot?"

"Not every wielder, but many."

"And…does it always work out?"

She was quiet a long time. "More often than not."

"But he has failed before?"

"There was one time where the contract was too difficult and he and his holder switched bodies until the holder's body died. At which point, Plagg's consciousness expelled the human's soul from the kwami's body and they perished."

"Jesus actual Christ."

"No, it wasn't him. Nice guy though! Very wise!"

"That's not what I—" He sighed. "Look, is there anyway to undo this? He's ruining so much!"

"I'm really sorry Adrien, but the only way to get switched back into your body is to complete the pact."

Adrien growled. "He could have at least given me a heads up! He just said he'd 'handle it'. I didn't know we'd switch bodies!" He slammed his paws into his face.

"Look, I'll tell Marinette as soon as possible, maybe she'll know what to do."

"No! Tikki you can't tell her!"

"I have too. As guardian, she must be aware of all the shenanigans that the Kwami's are getting into. She has to know about this."

"But she can't!" He begged. "This is all my fault! I was naïve and dumb and I didn't think things through—" He moaned. "She's going to be so disappointed with me!"

Tikki poked him hard. "Adrien. This is not your fault! This is Plagg's doing. He's tricky, and can be very selfish sometimes. She can't blame you."

"Please Tikki, I know she's going to figure me out sooner or later. Plagg's doing a really bad job."

"I'll say."

"But when that happens, I'll come clean and explain everything myself. But until then, can you just…pretend like nothing is wrong?"

Tikki sighed. "I hate keeping secrets from her. But, fine. Since you asked so nicely. Maybe you'll get your body switched back before she suspects."

He winced. "Ugh, except one of the conditions of the pact is to get Ladybug to fall in love with me. And if he's trying to get Lady-nette to fall in love with him, then if we switch back, she'll be in love with Plagg-me and not me-me!"

"Um…I don't think that's going to be a problem…"

"Wait, what?"

"You remember that TV show where they went into her room and your photos were everywhere?"

"She said she just liked fashion…and she promised she wasn't lying…"

"It was a half truth, at least. She does like fashion, and you are her favorite model. But…that other boy she keeps rejecting Chat for? That's you."

If a blush could be seen on black fur, he'd be the same color as Tikki. "What? Really? How come she never told me!?"

"Oh, she tried. Remember when you brought her medicine back from England?"

"Yeah?"

"That prescription she gave you was for Master Fu. She gave the pharmacist the love letter she was supposed to give you after you got on the train."

"Oh no!"

"The wax statue incident? That was her practicing. That beret from a 'brazilian fan'? That was from her. That blue scarf your father got you for your birthday? That was also from her. She's tried, Adrien. But she's either chickened out, or something's gone horrendously wrong."

"Oh Marinette…" His ears went flat, his heart breaking for her. "All this time?"

"Since you gave her your umbrella in the rain when you first met."

"Oh no! That long!? My poor lady!"

"And she's been trying to get over you since she thinks you're in love with Kagami. So I'm assuming Plagg's trying to convince her that you like her instead."

Since he awoke in this strange little useless body, Adrien was pissed at Plagg. But now he was beginning to realize how big of a favor this was. How close he had been to losing her, and hopefully it wasn't too late.

Still sucked though.

"Oh god…he's going to have to talk to Kagami too! I don't know if I can bear to watch this!"

"Well, you don't really have a choice. And you stand a pretty good chance of getting your body back soon. I…think Plagg knows what he's doing."

"You think?"

"I hope."

"Ugh…"

"Look, if you need help, you know where to find me. I'll be in my holder's bag here at school. Though, today, unless there's an akuma, I'll sit with you in your bag and tell you whatever you need to know about being a Kwami."

"Oh yeah! How is superheroing going to work? How do I transform?"

"It'll probably be the same. He'll say your name instead of his own. Then you'll get to see what he sees and hear what he hears. Cataclysm draws from this body's form, so he'll call on it when he needs it, as well as your other powers."

"Other powers?"

"Sure. There's more than just Cataclysm. But I'm sure he's waiting to teach you them until you're ready."

"To be honest...he never really taught me Cata—"

Tikki was quick to slap a paw over his mouth. "DON'T SAY IT!"

"Oh, is it like transformed rules? You say it, you activate it?"

"Yes, but in this form it's incredibly powerful, and you don't know how to dismiss it! You activate it and bump into something, and you nuke Paris! That is a forbidden word!"

"Okay! I'll take your word for it."

"We should probably get back up top, no telling what trouble Plagg's gotten into already."

"But we're in class. He should just be sitting there."

"You're underestimating Plagg's attention span."

Phasing back up through the floor and into Adrien's bag, they could hear Adrien's voice.

"...and of course you're not even going to talk about the ramifications of Phillip the V's denial of his niece on the throne."

"Louis X's daughter? She never took the french throne."

"Oh, yes she did! She held it for 6 years in 1316, Phillip only recanted her name after her rule was revoked. Furthermore, after she died, her legitimacy as Louis' blood relative was called into question. Her mother was branded as an adulterer."

Miss Bustier hummed. "I never heard of this. Where did you read this, Adrien?"

"Oh I didn't read it, I saw it—in a documentary! That's right! On the Hundred Year War! That's right!"

"You'll have to tell me what that documentary is, I'm very interested to see that! But you were saying something about Louis X's daughter on the throne?"

Adrien had to refrain from smacking himself in the face. Not 15 minutes into class, and Plagg was already rewriting history.

Had they even gotten to the Hundred Years War?

A knock saved Adrien from second hand embarrassment.

"Come in," called Miss Bustier.

Adrien couldn't see who was at the door, but they were being silent.

"Um…can I help you?"

There was a grunt.

"You're here for Adrien?"

Adrien, in kwami form, peered out ever so carefully from his bag, only to see the Gorilla standing in the front of the room.

Uh oh.

"...hey big guy..." Plagg tried to greet as enthusiastically as he could.

Another grunt, and the Gorilla motioned towards the door with his head.

"Sorry, but I'm in the middle of class. We were just discussing the conditions that led up to the Hundred Years War. I know dad's pissed that I left this morning, but I'll be home after school..."

The Gorilla shook his head and started to advance on him, his hands open and making to grab him.

Plagg however, was not above evasive maneuvers. He hopped up on the desk.

"You'll never take me alive!"

The Gorilla never stopped advancing and shot his arms out to grab Plagg by the waist.

But Plagg leapt from the table and landed on the Gorilla's shoulders, riding him like a bull.

The Gorilla swung around, flailing his arms trying to dislodge Plagg from where he was mounted, but Plagg dug his heels in and held fast.

"YEEEEEEEEEE—HAW!"

The Gorilla bucked and swung, making Plagg rag doll around, but he still would not let go!

Finally, starting to get dizzy, Plagg twisted in place and pinched the bodyguard in a particular place on the shoulder, and he dropped like a sack of potatoes, unconscious, on the floor.

Plagg simply climbed off of him, dusted himself off, and took his seat. "Now...where were we?"

"Principal's office. Now."

Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s Spite Playlist: Original CH6

Hey, I finished the next chapter ;D Get your bodies ready!

Previous First Next

Chapter 6

“Good morning, sweetie,” Sabine greeted as Marinette made her way down the stairs, carrying her boots in one hand.

“Morning, Mom,” Marinette said with a yawn, leaning to kiss her cheek.

“How was the concert? Did you all have a good time?” Marinette smiled to herself as she sat down at the table and grabbed a banana from the fruit bowl.

“I had an amazing time! We rode in Macy's private jet and got to stand backstage, but the best part is, I helped fix Jagged's jacket, and to thank me, he invited me to sing a song with him!” She recounted.

“That's incredible,” Sabine gaped, eyebrows raising. “I always knew you would do something amazing.”

“If Eliott hadn't suggested that I ask for tickets, Jagged would have canceled the show. It was really lucky that I was there,” she said, smiling down at her cup of yogurt.

“So, I take it everything is going well at your new school?” Sabine pressed, taking a seat across from her.

“Yeah. I'm making new friends, and I helped someone with their bully,” Marinette answered around a bite, and Sabine gave her a soft look.

“Are you happy?”

Marinette slowed her chewing as she mulled over an answer, and sensing her hesitance, Sabine placed a hand over hers.

“I know there are things you don't tell me, but I can tell when you're upset.” Marinette averted her gaze. “You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. All I care about is that you're happy.”

“It's just that…” She took a deep breath, flicking her gaze back up to her mother's before relaying everything. Following Lila and Adrien, the situation with seats, Lila's threats in the bathroom, Alya's akumatization. Everything. And once she started, she couldn't stop, words tumbling from her mouth in a rapid current until hot tears began to spill down her cheeks. Sabine move to cradle her in her arms, rubbing her back and shushing her softly.

“When you said you wanted to transfer to this new school to focus in your talents, I had no idea you were leaving behind so much,” Sabine said, caressing her hair. “You've been carrying all of that weight for so long.”

“I didn't know what else to do,” Marinette whimpered, sniffling against her mother's shoulder.

“Look at me,” Sabine said, pushing her back gently and cupping her cheek. “You do so much for other people and carry everyone burdens on your shoulders. I think it's time that you started focusing on what makes you happy.”

That was the understatement of the century, but Marinette wasn't going to say as much.

“Helping others is a wonderful thing, but you shouldn't destroy yourself to do it. Sometimes it's okay to do what's best for yourself, and I think that changing schools was a smart decision that will benefit your mental health in the long run.” She brushed a tear from Marinette's cheek with her thumb. “I know you're hurting now, but you're on the right path to heal. If you need anything, Papa and I are always here for you.”

“Thanks, Mama,” Marinette smiled, leaning in for a tight hug.

In that moment, she wasn't a superhero with the weight of the world on her shoulders. She was a young girl, abandoned and hurt by the people she once trusted, and for once, she didn't have a clever solution to fix everything. No lucky charm to manipulate to get her out of a messy situation, and that was the hardest lesson she'd ever had to learn. That sometimes there was no magic to reset everything. Some wounds didn't heal, and some bonds stayed broken.

For the first time since she became Ladybug, Marinette didn't have to carry anyone's burdens but her own. For once, she could just cry.

“Well, class, by an overwhelming majority, I’m happy to announce Lila as our new class representative!” Mlle. Bustier said, gesturing to Lila standing beside her.

“Mlle. Bustier, I would like a recount!” Chloe demanded, but Mlle. Bustier gave her a sympathetic smile.

“You only had two votes, Chloe, I don’t think a recount is necessary,” she said, holding up a soothing hand.

“What? That’s ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!” Chloe growled, folding her arms over her chest.

“Can you blame us?” Alya cocked a brow.

“Yeah, Lila is way cooler than you,” Alix shot back, a sentiment echoed by several others, and Chloe sank down in her seat, seething.

“Well, at least Sabrina recognizes my natural leadership,” she said, glancing over at her bff who averted her gaze guiltily. “Don’t tell me you voted for her too?”

“Sorry, Chloe,” Sabrina shrank, and Chloe let out a dramatic gasp.

“Are my ears deceiving me? How dare you!” Chloe slammed her fist on the desk as the whole class erupted into laughter.

“Wow, even Sabrina is tired of you,” Kim chortled, and Chloe’s jaw clenched, cheeks flashing an angry red.

“Now, now, everyone, I don’t want to cause any trouble, but I did win fair and square, Chloe. I hope you aren’t too mad at me,” Lila said, curling her shoulders. “The last thing I want to do is make another enemy like I did with Marinette. I just want to do my best to make your lives as easy as possible here.”

“See? Now that’s natural leadership,” Alya said, casting a smirk Chloe’s way, and Chloe crossed her arms again with a pout.

“You’re all so lame. I wouldn’t want your votes anyway,” she said, glaring at Lila as she passed by to take her seat and clicking her stylus pen. Lila wasn’t some no body like Marinette, and Chloe was going to have a harder time pushing her down much to her annoyance. Regardless, if there was something Chloe wanted, she always got it.

***

“Congrats on winning class representative,” Alya said once class was over. “I can go over all of your duties with you this afternoon if you want. Marinette and I used to discuss things over ice cream.”

“Actually, I’m recovering from tonsilitis, so my doctor said I’m not allowed to eat any dairy,” Lila said, touching her throat delicately. “Besides, you and I should pick our own rituals and forget about Marinette.”

“True, I guess,” Alya pursed her lips, and Lila placed a hand on her shoulder.

“I know it’s hard to move on, but honestly, Marinette is no body,” Lila said. “Though not many people can say that they saved an entire village from a stampede, so I guess I shouldn’t be one to judge.”

“Not all of us can be so amazing,” Alya chuckled good-naturedly. “I guess part of me just wishes that Marinette could have gotten to know you and seen how cool you are.”

“Her loss.” Lila shrugged as they entered the locker room.

“Did you see-”

“Is that for real?”

“No way!”

“What’s going on?” Alya asked Adrien and Nino.

“Marinette sang with Jagged Stone last night at his concert in Berlin,” Nino explained, tilting his phone toward them.

“What?” Alya gaped, snatching it from him and pressing play.

“Miraculous, yeah I got this! I gotta confess I feel so strong!”

“She asked him for tickets yesterday online, and he gave her backstage passes,” Mylène said.

“She looks so happy and confident,” Rose added.

“Wouldn’t you be if you got to sing with Jagged Stone on stage?” Alix cocked a brow.

“I miss her,” Rose admitted, slumping a little.

“Yeah, me too,” Juleka echoed.

“Say, Lila, since you’re such good friends with Jagged Stone, do you think you could get us tickets to his next show?” Kim asked hopefully and every eye turned to her expectantly.

“Well, I would love to, but celebrities like Jagged really don’t like to give stuff away for free. It’s kind of taboo to even ask, and I’m sure Jagged only complied this time because he wanted to save face. He cares about his fans so much, but it’s actually very rude to ask someone for special treatment,” Lila said, curling her shoulders and lowering her voice. “I feel really bad for Jagged being put on the spot like that. She could have ruined his reputation.”

“Wow, I guess I didn’t realize,” Kim rubbed the back of his neck. “I’d hate to put you in that position.”

“I can’t believe Marinette would do such a thing,” Nathaniel said, eyebrows furrowing.

“Yeah, way uncool.”

“Everyone, please don’t make a fuss and blame Marinette. She just isn’t used to dealing with celebrities. I’m sure she meant no harm,” Lila assured them, holding up defensive hands. “If only she were still here, I have so much I could teach her.”

“We’re so lucky to have you, Lila,” Nino said, placing a hand on her shoulder.

“Yeah, thanks, Lila!”

“You’re the best.”

Adrien turned to his locker to hide his sigh, shaking his head before shutting it and heading to their next class.

Apart from the group stood Chloe, watching the scene unfold with narrowed eyes. She tapped a perfectly manicured nail on her arm and pursed her lips sourly. Nothing was right in her school anymore, and she wasn’t going to stand for it. Lila was stealing away everything she had worked for, and everyone was so busy paying attention to her that she barely had anyone to boss around. Something needed to change. Fast. She was going to have to be smarter if she wanted to dethrone this queen, but she’d have order restored in her kingdom soon enough.

Later that afternoon, the girls all gathered in the bathroom to comfort Mireille who was crying over some stupid argument she’d had with her boyfriend, not that Chloe really cared, but she did want to find dirt on Lila, so she slipped in unnoticed and hid in an empty stall to listen. Alya and Lila entered a couple minutes later, and Chloe peeked through the crack in the door.

“What’s going on?” Lila cocked a brow.

“Mireille and her boyfriend got into a fight, and she’s pretty upset,” Mylène said in a hushed tone as Rose patted her shoulder comfortingly.

“Marinette used to give advice to everyone and help them stay positive,” Rose said, glancing up at Lila. “Since you’re the new class representative, you can help, right?”

“Well, Mireille isn’t really in our class,” Lila said, averting her gaze, but when Mireille let out a loud sob, she scrunched her nose and knelt beside her.

“Hey, there’s no sense crying over some boy. I’ve had my heart broken before too, so I know how it feels, but boys are dumb. He’s not worth your tears,” Lila said, placing a hand on her shoulder. “If he really loved you, he wouldn’t have argued with you, and if he doesn’t love you, then you shouldn’t waste your time crying over him. I think you should move on because there’s no better revenge than finding someone cuter.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right…” Mireille sniffled, running a hand across her cheek.

“We can get some ice cream later if you want,” Alya offered.

“Thanks, girls,” Mireille said with a smile before turning to the mirror to fix her face as the bell rang.

“See you later.” They all waved goodbye as they shuffled to their next class, leaving Mireille alone.

She glanced at her phone where a picture of the two of them hugging lovingly flashed back at her, and she felt her chest tighten. Maybe Lila was right, and he didn’t love her. Maybe she should move on and find someone better. That would show him…

Bubbling with anger, she lowered her phone and glanced back into the mirror just in time to see a little black butterfly land on the charm bracelet he’d given her on Valentine’s Day.

“Hello, Heartbreaker.”

Chloe gasped as Mireille transformed before her eyes, quickly closing the stall door before she could be noticed. She hated to admit it, but she actually missed Maribrat Dupain-Cheng. At least with her around giving pep talks to every miserable face she came across, akumas had reached an all-time low at their school. Where was Ladybug when she needed her?

***

“So, you really saved his whole show?” One of Marinette’s new classmates asked as everyone crowded around her.

“I’m sure they would have found another solution but-”

“Oh, don’t be modest,” Eliott cut her off with an eye roll. “She totally saved the whole show.”

“Yeah, Jagged adores her,” Macy added with a giggle.

“I still think it should have been you up there, Macy. You’re a much better singer than I am,” Marinette rubbed the back of her neck.

“You have such a cute voice! We should sing a duet together for our next art project,” Macy said, and several classmates agreed much to her chagrin.

“Alright, class, everyone take your seats,” Mlle. Allard instructed as she strolled into the room, and the group surrounding Marinette dispersed much to her relief. “Today we will be discussing themes in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Now, who can tell me-”

Marinette’s phone buzzed in her bag, and she discretely checked it under her desk.

“An akuma alert,” she gasped, under her breath.

“What’s that?” Eliott leaned over.

“Is something the matter, Miss Dupain-Cheng? Mr. Chasse?” Mlle. Allard paused her lesson and quirked a brow.

“Uh, there’s an akuma loose in the city, ma’am. Shouldn’t we evacuate?” Marinette held up her phone, and Mlle. Allard removed her glasses to read the report.

“It says here that lockdown orders are only for the area surrounding Notre Dame. We will continue our lesson until it becomes a threat on this side of town,” she said, passing Marinette her phone. “Now, put your phone away. They are prohibited during instruction.”

“Yes, Mlle. Allard,” Marinette said, tucking her phone back into her bag and exchanging nervous looks with Tikki. “Actually, Mlle. Allard?”

“What is it, Marinette?”

“Can I be excused to the restroom?” She asked, and Macy gave her a quizzical look.

“You just went before we got here,” she said, and Marinette felt her spine prick.

“Do you have a documented medical condition that requires you to frequent the bathroom, Miss Dupain-Cheng?” Mlle. Allard asked, and a few classmates giggled, bringing a flush to her cheeks.

“No, ma’am,” she answered, sinking a little in her chair.

“Then I think you can hold it until the next class change. Now don’t interrupt my lecture again.”

“Yes, ma’am,” she lowered her head, shooting Tikki an apologetic wince.

Her foot tapped the entire lecture, fingers drumming, pen tapping, eyes watching the clock. Part of her prayed that the akuma would make its way to their side of town, but she wasn’t so lucky. When the bell rang, she jumped up from her chair and stuffed her tablet into her bag.

“Uh, I’m not feeling too well, so I’m gonna go see the nurse,” she said in a rush.

“Do you want us to walk with you?” Eliott offered, eyebrows furrowing, but she waved him away.

“I, uh, think I might be getting the flu, and I don’t want to infect you guys, so I’ll just see you later,” she said before rushing off.

The third-floor bathroom was empty as Marinette burst through the doors and ducked into a stall.

“Your new school is very strict,” Tikki remarked.

“We can talk about it later. Transform me!”

Racing across the rooftops, she hurled her yoyo as far as she could. She just hoped Chat Noir had managed to show up and keep things at bay.

Once she made it to the school, she swung in just in time to catch Chat Noir as the akuma sent him flying.

“Oh, nice of you to finally drop in,” he said dryly.

“Sorry, kitty, I got held up,” she said. “You okay?”

“He relaxed a little and offered her a wink. “Better now that you’re here. You had me worried.”

“I’ll try not to make a habit of it,” she vowed, readying her yoyo. “In the meantime, I think we could use a little luck to get us out of this mess.”

“Be my guest,” Chat bowed.

Her magnifying glass made quick work of Heartbreaker, and soon Mireille blinked in confusion as Ladybug purified the akuma. She paced over to place a hand on Mireille’s shoulder with a reassuring smile.

“What happened?” She asked, dazed.

“You were akumatized,” Chat Noir explained.

“Oh no,” she covered her face. “I got so angry…Now Jean will never take me back!”

“Hey, arguments in relationships happen. I’m sure you both said things you regret, so why don’t you try talking to him now that you’ve both calmed down?” Ladybug advised. “I’m sure you can come to an understanding.”

“I will. Thank you, Ladybug,” Mireille smiled, shoulders relaxing, and she waved as Ladybug and Chat Noir vaulted off.

“Thanks for your help, m’lady,” Chat said, kissing her hand.

“Sorry it took me so long. I’m glad you were able to manage,” she said with a laugh. “I’ll see you next time.”

“Don’t be late,” he called as she swung off.

Landing back in the bathroom, she leaned against the wall with a sigh. That was too close. She’d have to figure out a better way to get away for akumas.

“What’d I miss?” She asked as she slipped into her desk in physics.

“I thought you had the flu?” Eliott leaned away instinctively.

“False alarm, just allergies,” she said with a sheepish grin.

“Oh, we should go to the spa later! The sauna is really good for your sinuses,” Macy whispered.

“Uh, sure,” Marinette nodded, shifting a little as they tuned back into the lesson. She relaxed a little when no one seemed suspicious of her.

Being a superhero just got a little more complicated, but she would manage. Paris depended on her, and she wasn’t going to let them down.

***

“How is your new school?” Adrien asked later that afternoon over tea and cookies.

“I’m adjusting,” Marinette said, pursing her lips. “How is the old school?”

“Well,” Adrien drawled, averting his gaze. “Lila is the new class representative, and she may have convinced people today that you almost ruined Jagged’s image.”

“What a brat,” Marinette threw her head back with a groan. “She’s really class rep?”

“Don’t look at me, I voted for Chloe,” Adrien held up defensive hands, and Marinette leaned against her fist with a smirk.

“Somehow I don’t feel like that’s better,” she said before fixing her gaze on her cup with a sigh.

“Rose said she misses you,” Adrien offered. “Before Lila convinced her you were clueless about dealing with celebrities.”

“I miss her too,” Marinette said quietly, tracing the rim of her cup with her finger. “I miss everyone, but…”

“I know,” Adrien winced, placing a hand on her shoulder. “For what it’s worth, I thought your performance with Jagged was awesome.”

Marinette bit back a smile.

“It was pretty awesome,” she admitted with a giggle. “And! I got you an autograph.”

Adrien pressed his palms together appreciatively as she retrieved a signed poster of Jagged’s face and passed it to him.

“You rock, Marinette,” he said, glancing up at her with a warm smile. “I’m glad that you’re doing what’s best for you, and if there’s anything I can do to help, just say the word.”

“Thank you, Adrien,” she felt her cheeks warm as he held her gaze, her mind clouding into a lovestruck haze until footsteps pounded up her staircase.

Marinette jumped as her trapdoor swung open, eyebrows raising when a familiar head poked through. It was Chloe Bourgeois, and she looked pissed.

Marinoodles: XD Probably! :P

Adrien Regreste: :3

------------

An hour later and Nino had made the trip over to Adrien’s house, Alya and Marinette in tow. Their chatting had been less energetic than usual, no doubt because there wasn’t a single person among them who didn’t feel exhausted. A fact that wasn’t at all helped by the late hours that they were arriving at. It may have only been nineteen hundred hours, but when you’d only had a few hours of sleep each night for the past week, it made all the difference in the world.

Despite all that, they were determined. The very thought that they were willing to go through all this just to go further in his campaign was thrilling for Nino, and he didn’t want to let them down.

A wicked grin, looking out of place on him, stretched across his face. With the events he had planned for tonight’s session, he was sure they’d be awake in no time.

They entered Adrien’s room and saw the bounty of sugary treats and caffeine that their host had prepared. After some brief chit-chat, Nino got set up quickly and rolled right into the session. The longer he delayed the more likely it was that his players would fall asleep.

“The forest at last thins as you crest the top of a hill. From your vantage point, you can see the capital city on the horizon.” There were sighs of relief around the room.

“Finally! My character could definitely go for a proper bed after a week of roughing it,” Marinette said after taking a drink of pop.

“You’ll have to hurry, then. The sun is going to start sinking below the horizon. Unless you want to be stuck outside the city until morning, you’d better get moving.”

“My bard starts one last travel song as we rush over.” Adrien opened his phone, no doubt to a lyrics site and cleared his throat.

Alya quickly covered his mouth. “I do not have the time or patience to listen to another of your renditions of Take Me Home, Country Roads, Sunshine. Let’s just get to the city, alright?” Adrien’s eyes darted to Nino in a silent plea, but he simply shrugged.

“Sorry, dude. Babe has a point.”

Pouting, he closed his phone. Beside him, Marinette giggled and patted his back consolingly.

“You reach the city gates without any issue - no bandit or monster is stupid enough to get within stones throw of the capital, not with all the guards on patrol. They were a little suspicious to see you guys so late at night, but… two noble sigils, a bardic license, and my holy symbol put those dudes right at ease. There are still a few rooms open at the inn - how are you guys going to divvy up?”

A trio of blank stares looked back at him. He sighed.

“Each room costs money to rent. You don’t have a lot, so while you could get a private room for each of you, it’s probably better to room with someone else. So who is spending the night with who?”

“Dibs on the cleric!” Alya cried. She tapped her chin theatrically, “I guess that leaves you two together, right?”

“I- I guess so?” Adrien blinked, surprised at Alya’s sudden outburst. Marinette paled a little but nodded.

“Since you guys arrived so late, most of the rooms were already filled up and you had to make do with what you can get. When you finally find your rooms, they are across the inn from each other… and there is only one bed in each room.”

A slight blush, but neither Adrien nor Marinette were freaked out. Alya slumped in defeat - there wasn’t any roleplaying involved in sleeping after all. Unless they decided to do some method acting and have a sleepover.

“The four of us drift off to sleep, which was a totally great change of pace from the creepy woods that you’ve been sleeping in for a week now.” Nino punctuated his words with a yawn that proved contagious. “It was way late at night when suddenly… M, Adrien. Roll for perception.”

Adrien, naturally, rolled a one. Just when Nino was scared he’d accidentally killed them off, Marinette pulled through with a high roll. He breathed a sigh of relief.

“With your keen elven hearing, the creaking of the wooden floor boards was enough to jolt you from sleep. There is a glint of metal above you, and you feel a presence in the darkness. You have just a few seconds to react - what do you do?”

“I roll over!” Marinette blurts out, her eyes wide.

Nino nods. “Right, that puts you right on top of Adrien, who is now totally awake too. It was a good move, though - a knife plunges into the mattress, right where your neck had just been.”

All business now, Marinette asks, “What can I see?”

“Not much. Loose cloaks with hoods pulled up. Knives. Two people. The other person has stumbled back, probs spooked by your sudden movement.”

She taps her chin before her eyes widen again. “Wait, what about the others?! We have to go get them! Or at least get their help.” She shuffles through her character sheet. “Okay, um… I whisper to Adrien in Elvish ‘close your eyes’ and then I toss a flash flare thing at the guy.”

Nino rolls some saves - without the warnings, neither of them stood a chance. He looks up to see Marinette watching him with hopeful eyes. “You got ‘em, M. Now what?”

“I roll off the bed and try to take the guy’s knife.”

“You’ve got it and your turn ends there. The dudes are blinded, but it won’t be long before they’ve recovered. Adrien?”

“Can I cast a spell?”

“Not without your lyre, bro.”

“Fine, fine. I grab it off the bedside table.”

“And why do you think it’d be there?”

“...I’m a bard. Gotta be ready to play, first thing in the morning.” Adrien smirked.

Chuckling, Nino replied. “Alright, fair. What do you cast?”

Adrien stuck out a tongue as he thumbed through his spell list. His eyes lit up as he looked at Nino. “I cast summon monster one, and I summon the Good Boy.”

“Right,” Nino said as the others giggled. “So you’ve got your celestial dog next to you. I figure you want it to attack one of the dudes?”

To his surprise, Adrien shook his head. “No, I command him to go wake up the other two. Probably to go sit by their door and bark in a commanding angelic voice.”

The fight didn’t last long from there - the two of them probably would have been enough to deal with the assassins after they lost the element of surprise. But four against two made it a landslide victory.

“Even though you try your hardest, you weren’t able to catch either alive. One got stabbed and bled out and the other, well… hopefully the innkeeper will understand that it wasn’t your fault that the window got broken.”

“Do they have anything on them?” Alya crossed her arms. “I get the feeling someone is after us.”

“You’re immediately proven right when you find a note in the dead guy’s pocket that reads, ‘Information about the Necromancer cannot reach the king. Dispose of the adventurers before they get their audience.’”

The party exchanged looks.

“Spooky,” Adrien said flatly. The others nodded in agreement.

“Do I recognize the handwriting or anything?” Marinette leaned forward, the gears in her head turning. “Remember, I am a court brat.”

“Nope. Looks like it was written deliberately poorly. You don’t know if you’d recognize it normally.”

“Time for the king?” Adrien perked up.

“Yup, it’s time for-” Nino was interrupted by a sharp knock at the door.

Adrien gulped. “Um… hello?”

Nathalie stepped into the room and narrowed her eyes at the dice and character sheets. Belatedly Nino remembered that Adrien usually claimed they were working on a project or homework during these sessions. “It is late. Your friends need to leave.”

Without a choice in the matter, they packed up and had the door shut behind them.

-------------

Nino’s fears were confirmed later that night during a discord chat.

Adrien Regreste: Sorry guys. Looks like we won’t be able to play at my house again Not for a while at least. :(

Lord DM: Don’t worry about it bro Had to happen eventually

Marinoodles: I’m so sorry! :( I hope you didn’t get in trouble because of us

Adrien Regreste: Nothing more than usual They aren’t threatening to keep me locked up at home So, you know Better than usual

“what the fuck is houshin engi”

my friend ellis asked me to help explain houshin engi to them because they were having trouble Grocking the worldbuilding of the series. and as we all know i cannot physically shut up ever. maybe more people than ellis will find this useful?

i’m so sorry if you’re on tumblr mobile. forgive me.

ok so. HOUSHIN ENGI is a manga by fujisaki ryuu, based off an ancient chinese novel/myth called FENGSHEN YANYI. if you’ve heard of journey to the west, fengshen yanyi is like that. except a different story. FY is pretty much completely unknown in the west but it’s apparently decently popular in japan. i lost my source on this but i’ve read that this popularity is due in part to the japanese translator of FY making some fairly drastic changes to the source material, like making the character shen gongbao (shinkouhyou) less of an outright antagonist and more of a neutral party.

anyway being an ancient chinese myth the story takes place in ancient china. being a mythological account there are more than just humans running around in there! there are also SENNIN. what are sennin? they are, put simply, taoist immortals. the basic idea is if you ‘cultivate’ long enough you ascend from your humanhood and become a sennin. if you’ve read any wuxia/xianxia manhua ever it’s basically that. there’s an article entitled “Sennin: The Immortals of Taoism” by janet carpenter and this is a quote from it:

“According to legend, the immortals [sennin] were at one time historical personages who achieved transcendence by refining body and mind. In addition to serving as an inspiration to human souls striving for inner peace or for everlasting life, the immortals functioned as guardians of Taoism.”

those still in the process of becoming sennin are known as DOUSHI.

sennin can be either human in origin, or they can come from animals or rocks or like. things. sennin who aren’t human are called YOUKAI SENNIN.

so. we have HUMANS, SENNIN (immortals), DOUSHI (sennin in training), and YOUKAI SENNIN. the shorthand term for both “sennin and doushi” is SENDOU, btw.

humans live down on earth in the HUMAN WORLD, and sennin live up in the SENNIN WORLD, which isn’t a separate “world” but is just. floating mountains. rocks in the sky. but humans aren’t allowed up there so it’s separate. there are two major places in the sennin world: KONGRONG MOUNTAIN and KINGOU ISLAND, which are home to human and youkai sennin respectively. neither school is exclusively one race but they are the majority human/youkai.

there are racial tensions between human and youkai sennin because we can’t have nice things, ever.

ok. the STORY STARTS at the end of the YIN DYNASTY, which was a real dynasty in history. we open at the capital city of the yin, CHOUKA. we are introduced to yin’s emperor, CHUUOH. the emperor is widely described as being a great king with one fatal flaw. you know that Funny Saying about how men have two heads but they can only think with one of them at a time? well any time chuuoh is presented with a choice between thinking with the head on his shoulders or the head between his legs he’s gonna choose his d*ck every time. dude’s horny. it’s an issue.

it’s especially an issue because his current favourite wife, DAKKI, is twice as smart as she is beautiful and boy is she smokin’. by the time we meet them, dakki has chuuoh wrapped around her finger and is causing him to make some pretty unwise leadership choices because Hehe Booby. taxes are high, morale is down, people are starving. refugees are leaving chouka, the capital, in droves. it’s a bad situation.

so. cut to KONGRONG MOUNTAIN, home of the human half of the sennin world. the leader of kongrong mountain, GENSHI TENSON, summons his disciple, TAIKOUBOU, and tells him about the situation in chouka, with dakki and chuuoh.

genshi tenson: taikoubou. the emperor’s current wife is actually a YOUKAI SENNIN. she is seducing chuuoh not only with her looks, but with a spell called “temptation” that does what it says on the tin. she is driving the country to ruin taikoubou: that sounds pretty fucked up genshi tenson: yeah it is taikoubou: so what are you going to do about it genshi tenson: i’m making you defeat 365 pre-determined targets to seal their souls in a device i’ve made called the HOUSHINDAI. to seal someone in it is to HOUSHIN them. you will do this to defeat dakki and i will sit here eating dumplings taikoubou: okay!

(houshin engi = 封神演義, “封神” “houshin” “ 封”, hou, “seal”; “ 神” shin/kami, “god”. i’m nnnot entirely sure how to translate “ 演義”, engi, but it’s something like.... to write down as a story. so essentially houshin engi is “the story of the sealed gods”. the english translation of fengshen yani translates it as either “creation of the gods” or “investiture of the gods” because in the original myth all the taoists like die and then they get canonized as deities. or something. still working on reading it)

anyway. taikoubou initially rejects leading the HOUSHIN PROJECT, which is what this whole shebang is called, but genshi tenson threatens to kick him out of kongrong and send him back to earth if he doesn’t. ALSO, it’s revealed that this isn’t the first time dakki has made an emperor her sugar daddy. the last time it happened, her orders directly resulted in the deaths of taikoubou’s family. so he’s got some personal beef to pick with dakki as well!

so taikoubou accepts the challenge, and off he goes. a bunch of shit happens.

the important thing here is that dakki’s fucked around so much that simply booting her out isn’t going to do much good any more. chuuoh has lost the trust of the people! they are ready for a new king! even if chuuoh were to shape up completely everyone would still be holding their breath waiting for him to go off the deep end again. change needs to happen.

under chuuoh’s rule there are four subordinate kings, one for each cardinal direction, that report to him. (they in turn rule a bunch of other guys but that’s not important.) the KING OF THE WEST, KI SHOU, was wrongfully imprisoned at chouka, capital of the yin, for several years. his son ki hakuyuukou came to try and rescue him but dakki ganked him and fed him to ki shou in a hamburger, rip hakuyuukou i hope you tasted nice. after the burger incident KOU HIKO convinces chuuoh to let ki shou go. sorry i kind of skipped over hiko existing. he’s a human member of chuuoh’s court but he isn’t swayed by dakki’s temptation and he has an Honest Heart so he’s a good guy. he’s also a military general which is a fact that will be important later.

anyway ki shou returns to SEIKI, his home town and the capital of the western states. seiki’s like a state capital whereas chouka is washington dc. anyway ki shou is like “hm that was fucked up.”

some more shit happens. i’m like skimming over all of the actual plot to just explain Why it happens. anyway. another member of chuuoh’s court is the sennin BUNCHUU. bunchuu is a human but he was taught at KINGOU ISLAND as opposed to kongrong. bunchuu has a deep personal stake in the existence of the yin empire. he’s ousted dakki a time or two before but she’s POWERED UP since the last time that happened and isn’t gonna quit so easily this time. bunchuu thinks everything will be solved if dakki can just die already.

some more shit happens. chuuoh accidentally causes the deaths of KOU HIKO’S wife and sister, so hiko’s like “fuck THIS, i’m outta here” and decides to leave chouka with his surviving family.

bunchuu’s like “hey uh you’re the general of the entire fucking military and if you leave chouka the people’s hearts will go with you so you cannot do this thing?” and hiko’s like “bro the people’s hearts are already GONE i know you’re my best friend and also in love with me probably but i can’t stay at the scene of my trauma. bye”

so hiko leaves and bunchuu freaks out and there are assassins and shit but the kou family makes it to seiki safely.

by this point in time taikoubou is ALSO in seiki and has hit up ki shou like “hey you know the hearts of the people are ready for revolution also i think you would make a pretty good emperor?” and kishou is like “yeah man what happened in chouka was pretty fucked up so i can get behind that. i’m going to make a NEW DYNASTY, the ZHOU DYNASTY.”

then he dies because he’s old and traumatized from eating his son as a hamburger so the eldest living son, KI HATSU, assumes the throne and title of BUOU, which is like chuuoh but COOLER.

so. there is war between the HUMANS, the YIN EMPIRE versus the fledgling ZHOU EMPIRE.

meanwhile bunchuu is having precisely None Of That! so he’s like “taikoubou........ if the sennin of kongrong are involved with this i’m going to drag ALL OF KINGOU ISLAND TO BATTLE, BECAUSE THIS IS A WISE AND INTELLIGENT CHOICE THAT WILL DEFINITELY WORK OUT WELL.”

so. there is war between the SENNIN, in the form of KINGOU ISLAND versus KONGRONG MOUNTAIN. apparently the floating mountains are also battleships? fujiryu likes his scifi. anyway that shit happens.

there is also DAKKI, who is still an enemy! though bunchuu fights against kongrong, he is not on her side! in fact, dakki is up to something SNEAKY AND NEFARIOUS, perhaps involving a MYSTERIOUS UNKNOWN BACKER. after all, she’s really smart! if all she wanted was a luxurious lifestyle, why is she convincing chuuoh to make shitty political decisions? and hey, what else has she been doing to chuuoh while bunchuu hasn’t been looking....?

ok. that is. a lot of words that kind of cuts off abruptly but i didn’t want to spoil any plot elements that you (ellis) haven’t gotten to yet. uh hopefully this makes things less confusing and not more lol. if you have any more questions just ask me?? yeah

Blackmail // Mark Lee

Summary: In which the building owner blackmails you into going on a date with his nephew… who turns out to be really cute???

Genre: fluff

Word Count: 3521

A/N: I feel like this title sounds kinda angsty, but I promise that this story is 100% fluff. I had a really good nap the other day, and from this nap, this lil scenario arose so.. yeah, hope you enjoy! :D Feel free to request!

Omg this scenario took so much longer to write than I expected, and it ended up so much longer than I thought it would oh ma lawwwwd. Well, I love Mark Lee, and hope you like this :)

“And here… is the kitchen! What do you think?”

You beamed at your brother, finding it cute how excited he was about the apartment. “It’s great bro, I’m so happy for you.”

He laughed and said, “Well, don’t be too happy yet. We still have to actually sign all the paperwork. There’s another person apparently coming down to look at it later, so fingers crossed they hate it!”

You couldn’t help but chuckle at his statement, and just as you were preparing a sarcastic comment to respond with, there was a knock at the door. You looked towards your brother, questioningly, to which he responded, “That’s probably the building owner.”

Your brother went to answer the front door, and you followed behind, low-key smoothing your shirt down, wanting to make a good first impression that could hopefully help your brother get the place. He greeted the owner, whose name seemed to be Minjoon, before introducing the two of you. You made sure to be extra nice, remembering all your manners and laughing at all the terrible jokes he made.

One thing you found out about Minjoon was that he really, really liked to talk. Each time you tried to push the conversation towards the direction of the contracts, Minjoon remembered another story that he just had to tell. You were getting used to his constant talking about himself, so needless to say, you were a little surprised when he asked you what grade you were in. “I’m a senior in high school,” you replied. He nodded thoughtfully, then sat up straighter, a much more serious look on his face.

“Here’s the thing, I like you guys. I really want to be able to give this apartment to you. However, I already told this person that he could take a look at this house. Since he is willing to pay me more for it, if he says yes to this place, he takes priority.”

Your brother chewed at his bottom lip, concern clearly painted over his features. You knew how much he wanted to finally move out of your parents’ basement, and he was really hopeful about this apartment. You let out a nervous breath as Minjoon continued:

“However, I think there’s a way that we can make that all.. go away.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, I have a nephew who is around Y/N’s age––sweet kid, a big looker––and I would like for her to go on a date with him. I’ve been bugging him about getting more involved with the ladies, but he keeps avoiding the topic. If not a date, he’s got to at least have some female friends.”

You couldn’t help but gape at the suggestion, disbelief flooding your body. Before you could respond, your brother stated “I’m sorry, but I really don’t believe my sister would feel comfortable with that situation.” You smiled at him gratefully, looking back at Minjoon to see what he would say.

“It seems I did not make myself clear. If Y/N does not go on a date with my nephew, you have no chance of getting this apartment.”

“I guess I’m not get––”

“I’ll do it.”

Your brother’s head whipped towards you, shocked at your sudden outburst. You gave him a reassuring smile, and whispered, “Don’t worry, it’s just one date.”

Needless to say, Minjoon was very happy. He gave you all of his nephew’s contact information, and told you when and where to meet him. Before you left, he reminded you that your brother’s apartment was still in his hands, and that if you did not show up to the date, your brother could say goodbye to any chance of getting an apartment any time soon.

As you left the complex, you turned towards your brother, who had been thanking you ever since you walked out the apartment door.

“You owe me bro.”

❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧

You stood outside the small cafe, nervously fidgeting with your hands. You felt terrible for judging before you met the guy, but the fact that his uncle had to blackmail you into going out with him had you a little worried. You took a deep breath before finally walking in, looking around the busy cafe for any sign of someone who was waiting for you. It took a while before you realized that he didn’t know what you looked like either, so you took out your phone and shot him a text.

You: Hello? ???: Hi… You: Um… I’m Y/N, the girl who you’re uncle wanted you to meet… ???: Oh, I’m really sorry about that. Are you here? You: Yeah, I’m at the front of the cafe.

Your eyes roamed around the room thoroughly, wondering which one of these customers would be the one you were meeting today. You chewed at your lip, your nerves taking over as you thought about what, or who, rather, was in store for you.

???: Look to your left.

Your head flew to the side, the sick feeling of anticipation growing in your stomach. You had no idea what to expect, and that was kind of scary for you. However, when your eyes landed on the blonde-haired boy in the glasses and the pink hoodie who was waving at you, you were more surprised than anything else.

He was cute. Scratch that, he was really cute. You walked over to him slowly, almost doubting that this was the person you were supposed to meet. He stood up as you got closer, giving you a bow that you returned. He motioned for you to sit across from him, and a moment of awkward silence passed between the two of you. Not being able to take it anymore, he tried to start a conversation.

“Um.. I’m going to be honest, I didn’t think you were going to show up today.”

You smiled, “Well, I’m a pretty good sister, so I’m trying to do whatever I can to get my brother into that apartment.”

He winced a bit at your statement, then moved his hand to rub the back of his neck sheepishly, “yeah, I’m really sorry about that. My uncle can be really crazy sometimes. This is not the first time he’s blackmailed someone into going on a date with me. I keep telling him to stop, but he won’t listen to me…”

You laughed, thankful that the awkward atmosphere was gone.

“By the way, I didn’t catch your name.”

“Oops, my bad. My name’s Mark… Mark Lee.”

“Well Mark, if you don’t mind me asking… why does your uncle feel the need to get dates for you? You definitely could get them yourself if you tried.”

Your hand flew to your mouth as your face flushed, shocked that you had let the compliment slip from your lips. His face too turned a rosy pink as he looked down at his clasped hands in embarrassment.

“Thank you for that, but it’s not because I can’t get dates… it’s because I don’t want to.”

Your eyebrow quirked up teasingly at his statement, questioning how he phrased his sentence. He responded by widening his eyes and shaking his head and hands rapidly before justifying himself:

“No! That’s not what I meant! I just meant that I’m not interested in dating any of the girls from my school!”

You couldn’t contain your laughter anymore as you watched the flustered boy struggle to find the right words. He was a little surprised at your sudden outburst, but soon realized that you were simply messing with him.

“Oh…”

When you finally calmed down, you faced him again, genuine curiousity on your face:

“Why aren’t you interested in dating girls from your school?”

“Well, the girls from my school are all really rich and preppy… They always act like they’re entitled to everything, and that’s something that I just can’t stand.”

You nodded your head in understanding before asking another question: “I get that there are some people like that…all the girls though?”

He nodded, “In freshman year, there were still people who were nice and humble, but as we got older, more and more people started to become assholes.”

You broke out in a smile at his choice of words, and you could’ve sworn you saw a tinge of red on his cheeks. After a short moment, he cleared his throat and spoke again: “So do you want something to drink? My treat since my uncle basically forced you to come here.”

“Iced tea is fine, thanks, but I’m paying next time.”

He furrowed his brows, confusion written on his face, “Next time?”

You smiled at his CUTE reaction, “Yes, next time. You’re pretty okay Mark Lee, I think we’d be good friends.“

This time, you could clearly see the red on his cheeks. After a quick, “I’d like that,” he ran off to pay for the drinks, leaving you with an amused smile on your face.

❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧

“Yo, yo, yo, Mark Lee!” you yelled out playfully as he walked over to your table. He rolled his eyes at your loud greeting before sitting down across from you.

After your—surprisingly successful—date with him a few months back, the two of you became inseparable. His uncle was happy, which meant your brother was happy, which meant you were happy, and luckily, you had gained a new friend along the way. Mark Lee was literally the best friend you ever had: he was sweet, caring, funny, a little crazy, and most of all, he knew exactly what to do whenever you were stressed or sad or angry about something. So, it wasn’t too much of a surprise when you found yourself growing fond of the boy, developing more than just platonic feelings for him and his goofy smile. You felt your heartbeat quicken whenever he slung his arm around your shoulder and your breath caught in your throat whenever he laughed. It was really stressing you out, and Mark, being Mark, could totally tell.

“Y/N?…Y/N!”

You shook your head and blinked before finally responding, “Huh?”

Mark chuckled before pressing a finger against your head and giving it a light push.

“You zoned out dumbass. You’ve been really out of it lately…are you sure you’re okay?”

You nodded unconvincingly. The problem with Mark being your best friend was that you had no one else to go to to talk about your problems. That meant you had to keep everything bottled up inside, which you weren’t very good at dealing with, and that made you even more stressed out, and well… it just wasn’t great for you. So you decided to try to relieve some of your stress by striking up “theoretical” situations with Mark in hopes that his obliviousness—Thank God for that—would keep him from figuring out you were actually talking about you.

“Actually… well I’ve got a classmate in my homeroom and she’s been talking to me about a problem she’s been having…” you began.

Mark nodded, encouraging you to continue.

“It’s this classmate she has… they’ve been getting to be super close friends, and she’s starting to develop some more-than-friends feelings, if you know what I mean… And well, she’s so stressed out about it that it’s got me stressed out. What do you think I should tell her?”

You bit your lip, awaiting his answer. He hummed thoughtfully before responding: “Well, what’s keeping her from telling him?”

“She doesn’t want to ruin their friendship. They’ve got a good thing going right now.”

“Ah, I see. Well, that’s totally understandable, but if she really likes him, shouldn’t see tell him? He might like her too!” Mark beamed.

His bright optimism was so infectious that you found yourself smiling too. Unfortunately, if also caused you to realize that if your confession caused you to lose him, you wouldn’t be able to live. You needed Mark in your life, so you selfishly kept your feelings to yourself.

“Thanks Mark, I’ll tell her…”

❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧

“I’ll get it!” you screamed when the doorbell rang. You rushed downstairs, expecting the package you ordered a week ago, but instead, you found Mark Lee. Unable to contain your disappointment, you let a small pout form on you face as you moved aside to let him in.

“You’re early.”

“Yeah, and you don’t seem too happy about it.”

You shook your head before smiling brightly at him, “Sorry, I was just expecting my package to come today. But instead I got you,” you teased.

Mark stuck his tongue out at you before replying, “You love me.”

You laughed bitterly at his statement, him not knowing just how true it was. Just as the two of you were about to make your way upstairs, your parents came in the room.

“Mark!” They exclaimed excitedly. Ever since the two of you became friends, your parents have loved Mark. They thought he was incredibly kind and sweet, and they were right about that. They actually often told you how perfect of a boyfriend he would be, and would drop hints whenever he was around to embarrass you. It was terrible.

“Hi Mr. and Mrs. Y/L/N!”

“Well, you just keep getting more and more handsome every time I see you, doesn’t he Y/N?” your mother questioned.

“Mom~” you whined, your cheeks flushing a light pink.

“Okay, okay, well you kids have fun alright? We’ll be gone until tomorrow afternoon, so make sure you guys eat your meals and stay safe!”

You gave both of your parents quick hugs and kisses goodbye before dragging Mark up the stairs to your room. You jumped on the bed as soon as you entered, and Mark followed in suit after placing his bag in the corner of the room.

“So, what movie do you want to watch today?” you asked, having no clue yourself. After comfortably adjusting himself against the headboard, Mark simply shrugged, to which you responded with a light snort.

“I guess we’re scrolling through Netflix.”

After a good 20 minutes of browsing and being totally indecisive, you guys settled on watching “The BFG,” bringing both of you back to your childhood. Watching movies with Mark was basically just an excuse for the two of you to cuddle. He laid propped up against the pillows on your bed, and you snuggled close to him, head on his chest and his arm around your shoulders. It was a position perfectly comfortable for the both of you, but recently, it’s been difficult for you to just focus on the movies you watched. You could hear his heart beating steadily against his chest, and his slow, systematic breathing. You could feel his warmth against your cheek and smell the scent of his cologne off his shirt. You were completely encapsulated with thoughts of him that you didn’t even notice when your eyelids started fluttering close.

You woke up tangled up with Mark, closer than either of you had even been before. The two of you had fallen asleep together, something that you’d never done before, and during the night, you apparently did some serious cuddling. Your face was pressed in his neck, your lips just centimeters away from his collarbone. His chin rested on top of your head and his arms circled your waist, one hand resting on the small of your back and the other on your hip. Your own arms were wound around his waist, your hands coming into contact with his bare back, where his shirt had ridden up. Your bare legs were tangled between his, and you swore your body was on fire. When you finally had the courage to move, you looked up at his face only to find him dangerously close––and awake. He smiled smugly at you before whispering in his hoarse morning voice, “Morning, beautiful.”

You immediately felt your face heat up, and you quickly untangled yourself from him.

“I’m going to wash up,” you stated quickly, before walking to the bathroom and splashing cold water on your face.

❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧

Tears streamed down your cheek as you watched the last of the sun disappear along the horizon. Earlier that day, you had found out that your parents had gotten into a car crash, and your dad was still unconscious in the hospital. Your mom was recovering, so the doctors said that you couldn’t visit her until tomorrow. How could everything have gone so wrong so quickly?

Lost in your own thoughts, you didn’t notice a figure taking a seat beside you. He scooted closer to you until your shoulders were touching, and only then did you look up. Well, you could’ve guessed who it was: Mark Lee. As soon as your eyes met his, you broke down, grabbing fistfuls of his shirt and sobbing into his shoulder. He met you with open arms and placed gentle, reassuring kisses to the top of your head.

You don’t know how long you cried, but when you started getting dehydrated, Mark took you bye the hand and pulled you toward your house.

He gave you water and made you food, and he didn’t get upset or frustrated when you told him you weren’t hungry. He brought you upstairs and let you lay your head on his chest again, and you stayed their until you fell asleep, with him gently stroking your hair and humming sweet songs to you.

That was the day that you realized you really could not accept just being friends with Mark anymore.

❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧

A few days after Mark comforted you, your father woke up, leaving you happy and relieved. You spent all your free time visiting your parents, tending to their every need and making sure they were comfortable. That meant that for the past few days, you didn’t really get to see Mark, and you were starting to miss him a lot. You had already decided that you were going to confess to him, but you just didn’t know when.

When you mother and father were finally discharged from the hospital, you decided that it was time for you to face your fears and talk to Mark about your feelings.

You: Hey Mork Leeeeeee~~ Mork: Hey! Look whose alive :P You: Haha, very funny Mork: But seriously, how are your parents doing? You: Much better, thanks, they’re finally home, and the doctors cleared them for daily activity, so that’s a relief. Mork: Yes it is.. listen, if it’s okay with you, can we hang out today? You: Oh, did Markie-poo miss me? Mark: Yes I did, you dork. Now, meet you at the café in half an hour? You: See you there.

You took a deep breath. I guess this is it…

❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧

As you waited in front of the café, you remembered the first time that you stood there. You were even more nervous now than you were then. How in the hell were you going to do this? While you were in the midst of convincing yourself to turn around, run away, and never look back again, your phone rang, waking you up from your thoughts. It was Mark, and he was no doubt wondering where you were. Instead of picking up, you simply walked into the café and made your way to the table where the two of you always sat.

“Sorry I’m late, I was…daydreaming.”

“Daydreaming?”

“Yes, daydreaming.” “About what?”

You took a deep breath. It was now or never.”

“Uh… it was kinda about you.”

He nearly choked on his drink, looking at you with a shocked expression. His doe eyes had doubled in size, and you couldn’t help but think he looked incredibly cute like that. “M-Me?”

“You see, remember when I told you about that classmate of mine? Well–”

“You were talking about yourself, and your actually head over heels completely in love with me?”

It was now your turn to be surprised, “Wait Wha-How did you know?”

He chuckled before bringing his face close to yours.

“You’re pretty obvious, you know. I may be oblivious, but not even I’m that oblivious.”

You blushed hard before shyly asking, “Then why didn’t you say anything?”

Mark only grinned: “I wanted to make sure you were comfortable with it first before confessing. You obviously were still dealing with some problems, and I was willing to wait until you were ready for the next step.”

“Wow, what a sweetheart,” you teased, secretly thankful for his thoughtfulness.

“You know it. Well, now that we’ve both established that we like each other, I would like to officially ask you out on a date.” You beamed brightly at him, “I’d love to.”

“Well, now that that’s out of the way, it’s time for me to do something I’ve been waiting a very long time to do.”

“And what’s that?”

He suddenly reached across the table, pulling your face closer to his own. You saw a devilish twinkle in his eyes before he pressed his lips on to yours, molding them together gently before separating. A stupid grin appeared on your face as you made the incredibly intelligent comment: “That was nice.”

He laughed wholeheartedly at you then placed a soft kiss on your cheek.

“There’s plenty more where that came from.”

REPOST: Natasha fic (MC x Kaitlyn).

You look down at your cell phone where Kaitlyn has responded with a short message.

“Busy at band rehearsal. Can’t make dinner. Sorry, will make it up to you later, xoxo.”

You sigh, slipping it back into your pocket before leaving the room you and Abbie share to plop down on the couch next to Zack and Tyler who are in the middle of an intense round of Super Smash Bros. Zack doesn’t even look away from the screen but moves over to make room for you while Tyler flashes you a distracted smile. “Hey, what’s up?” he says.

“Nothing…” you say. “It’s just… Kaitlyn just canceled on our date night plans.”

Tyler’s eyes are wide and he pauses the game, causing Zack to throw his hands up. “Dude, the game!”

He gets a disapproving look in return. “Come on, man, our friend is feeling down here.”

Zack sighs, puts down the controller, and shifts to turn towards you. “Alright, alright. Tell Big Brothers Zack and Tyler what’s bothering you…”

You frown at him. “Aren’t you five months younger than me?”

He waves a hand in the air dismissively. “Let’s not get caught up in the minutiae. Now, stop deflecting. What’s wrong with you and Kaitlyn?”

“That’s the thing. Nothing’s wrong. She’s still the same Kaitlyn we know and love. At least when we’re together. But lately, it seems like we haven’t gotten the chance to spend any time with each other for more than five minutes when we cross paths at home.”

Tyler’s face brightens. “You know, I had the exact same problem with Abbie when I started taking a heavier load of classes last quarter. But we talked about it and we managed to find little ways to be together while still being productive!”

“How?”

“It wasn’t easy,” he admits, “but we worked out a schedule. In the mornings, we would get up a little earlier to have breakfast together before the rest of you guys woke up. And after classes, depending on the day, we would study together or she would come with me to my D&D meet-ups or I would come with her to her friends’ art showcases.”

“That’s why you stopped coming to our study buddies sessions!” Zack exclaims, lightly shoving him in the shoulder. “And here I thought no one could ever replace us.”

Tyler laughs, shoving him back. “Trust me, study buddies will always hold a special place in my heart but…” he says, smiling shyly, “so will Abbie.”

You and Zack break out in a chorus of, “Aww…” Tyler ducks his head and blushes lightly. “Anyway,” he says, trying to turn the focus back on you. “If any two people can make it work, it’s you and Kaitlyn. You guys are one of the tightest couples I know.”

“Besides me and Brandon, of course,” Zack can’t help but add. You laugh and nod, feeling a lot lighter than you did five minutes ago.

“Thanks, you guys. I feel so much better now. In fact, I think I’m going to go down to rehearsals and see Kaitlyn right now!” You give both of the guys a quick hug before grabbing your coat and heading out the door.

Half an hour later, a take-out bag of the spiciest tacos in Hartfeld in hand, you’re walking towards the back of the Performing Arts Center where you know the Gutter Kittens rehearse three times a week. You frown when you see Amara and Rachel walking out of the building together, chatting to each other.

“Hey, guys,” you say, walking a little faster to catch up to them. “Rehearsals over already?”

Amara grins and waves when she notices you while Rachel scoffs. “Already? Try finally. We’ve been practicing for hours now and we’re just headed home.”

“You know if Kaitlyn is ready to go yet?” you ask.

“Natasha wanted her to stay back to look over some new lyrics she wrote. They’ll probably be done in a few so you can just go right on in.”

“Great!” You give Amara a squeeze on the arm in thanks and a nod to Rachel before entering the building. As soon as you come in, you hear Kaitlyn’s sweet voice ring out, clear as a bell, in the room.

“She can’t do what I can do, make you feel like I do…”

You stay in the shadows, smiling softly at your girlfriend as she draws the song to a close. You’re about to set the food down and break into appreciative applause when someone else beats you to it.

“Wow, Kaitlyn, that was amazing!” Natasha says, coming into view from the side.

“Thanks,” Kaitlyn says, beaming. “Honestly, it was easy, bringing those lyrics to life. They’re so full of anger and lust and emotion. Who did you write that for?”

For some reason, you stay silent in order to avoid being noticed and hold your breath, waiting for the response.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Kaitlyn looks confused. “Why, do I know them?”

Natasha draws closer to her, smirking as she says, “Yeah, I’d say you know them pretty well...”

She reaches out with a hand and smooths a piece of Kaitlyn’s hair against her jean jacket, her touch lingering. Kaitlyn’s eyes dawn with realization. “Are you starting to get a clearer idea of who I might be talking about?” Natasha says lowly.

You feel anger making your face flush. You tighten your hands into fists. All you know now is that someone is making a move on your girlfriend and you can’t just stand and watch.

For a moment, Kaitlyn just stares. Your nails are biting crescents into the palms of your hands. Then, she backs away, her face setting into a frown. “Natasha,” she says, “what are you doing?”

Natasha looks exasperated. “Look, Kaitlyn, I like you and I know you like me too. Are you really going to pretend there’s nothing between us?”

“Not more than friendship, there isn’t. I have a girlfriend.”

Natasha shakes her head. “And how long do you think that’s going to last?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Think about it. What do you really have in common? She doesn’t share any of your interests- not punk music, not horror films, nothing. Not to mention all of that time she spends with that barista from the coffeeshop? And don’t even get me started on the writer and the jock. Wasn’t it just a few months ago that she was having trouble deciding between the three of you?”

As she speaks, Natasha starts to take calculated steps towards Kaitlyn who is frozen in place by her words, looking disoriented. You feel anger rising in you at the sight of the two standing together so closely, Natasha preying on her insecurities. You’re about to speak when suddenly, Kaitlyn shoots across the room away from her, exploding into shouts. “No! Don’t talk about her like that! You don’t know the first thing about her! So what if she doesn’t like punk or horror? She still goes to all our gigs, she still visits haunted hills with me, and she always makes time for me. Why? Because she loves me.”

Kaitlyn turns and spots you. She slows to a standstill. “And I love her,” she says quietly, her words ringing throughout the Performing Arts room.

You finally step into sight, offering a slight smile and lifting the bag of food to show her. “Um, hey,” you say awkwardly. “I brought tacos.”

You’re taken off guard when Kaitlyn strides towards you, pulls you in by the neck, and kisses you passionately. After a moment, you drop the bag of food to the floor and wrap your arms around her, melting into the embrace. You hear Natasha scoffing somewhere in the distant background.

Pulling back to rest your foreheads together, Kaitlyn whispers against your lips. “Hi, I’m glad you’re here.”

“Me too,” you say back.

Kaitlyn tangles your fingers together and bends down to pick up the food with her free hand. “Let’s go,” she says, leading you to the door.

“Where are you going?” Natasha says.

“I’m going home to eat tacos with my girlfriend,” she responds without looking back. As she pulls you out of the building, just before the door swings shut, you and Natasha lock eyes and you stick your tongue out at her childishly.

As the two of you walk home silently, the sky begins to darken. The street is illuminated by towering lamps lining the path back to the suite. You lightly swing your interlocked hands between your bodies before hesitantly saying, “Kaitlyn?”

She looks at you, apparently broken out of her thoughts. “Hm?”

“About what Natasha said back there-”

“Don’t,” she says, cutting you off. “I know everything she said was just to get in my head. I can’t believe I didn’t see who she really was before now. You and the rest of our friends kept telling me but I refused to listen.”

You bring her to a stop. “Hey, it’s not your fault,” you tell her. “You were just excited about making a new friend and being in this new band. You can’t blame yourself for wanting to belong somewhere.”

Kaitlyn shakes her head. “I know where I belong. With you and our friends on the rooftop of our suite, drinking cheap wine and playing Truth or Truth.”

You laugh and kiss her gently. “So what’s next for you? Are you going to keep playing with them? With Natasha?” You try to keep your face neutral, letting her know that you’ll be OK with whatever she decides, but you can’t help but hope she says no.

Kaitlyn sighs. “No, it’d be too weird to face them after everything that just happened. It just sucks because I really felt like this was something I was meant to do.”

“You mean singing?”

“Yeah, singing… and being in a band.”

You think for a moment before brightening. “Well, who says that still can’t happen?”

She looks at you curiously. “What do you mean?”

“I’m just saying, the Gutter Kittens can’t be the only femme punk rock band at Hartfeld. I mean, just think about all those people who show up to your gigs. One of them have got to be looking for a new singer, right?”

“Well, at our last gig, Natasha did point out this other group, The F Bomb. Apparently, they’ve won every single Battle of the Bands at Hartfeld for the past three years. But she said their lead singer just graduated so they’re disbanding.”

“Do you think they would stay together if they found a singer that was even better?” you ask hopefully.

“They might,” she says, grinning. “But do you really think they would want me?”

You bring her hand up to your lips and place a small kiss on her knuckles. “They’d be crazy not to,” you tell her earnestly.

She ducks her head and turns pink. “I love you,” she says.

You place one more kiss before starting to walk again. “I know. Now let’s get home. The tacos are getting cold.”

As the two of you eat dinner, Kaitlyn tells you more about the F Bomb. “They’re seriously good,” she says through a mouthful of food. “They’re playing one last show in Northbridge tomorrow night.”

You put down your plate and look at her. “You know what this means, right?”

She swallows before fixing you with a confused look. “What?”

“We have to go!” you tell her excitedly. “This is your one and only chance to convince them you’re exactly what they need to keep the band going!”

“I don’t know,” Kaitlyn says, frowning. “I’m feeling really nervous all of a sudden.”

“Come on,” you say, smiling encouragingly at her. “There’s nothing to be nervous about. You’re an amazing singer. The Gutter Kittens heard you sing once and immediately asked you to join their band.”

“Yeah, probably because Natasha thought it’d be easier to-”

“Woo you?”

She raises an eyebrow and grins at you. “I was going to say something much less appropriate but yes…”

A shudder runs down your spine. “Ew, stop, I don’t even wanna think about that.”

Kaitlyn laughs. “Sorry, sorry,” she says. “But I’m still not sure about this whole thing. I mean, asking to join the F Bomb right before they’re about to disband? It seems so… presumptuous.”

You think about what she’s saying before sighing and conceding. “Alright, maybe we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. But I still think we should go see the show.”

“What, you think I need closure?” she teases.

“Don’t you?” you ask seriously.

She smiles at your thoughtfulness. “I think it’s not a bad idea,” she admits. “Being in a band was a shortlived but important part of my life and I really considered it a part of who I am… or, I guess, who I was.”

She looks down at her hands, biting her lip, and you reach out to hold them in yours. “Hey, you OK?”

She leans into you and you wrap your arms around her shoulders, rubbing her back and kissing the crown of her head. “Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just been a crazy night…”

You hum into her hair, letting a few moments pass before you quietly ask, “Do you want to rewatch an old horror movie and laugh at the bad effects?”

Kaitlyn sniffles and nods into your chest. “Can we cuddle too?”

You hug her a little tighter. “Of course.”

After clearing the dishes, the two of you settle on the couch and turn on Zombie Beach Party: The Musical. Kaitlyn laughs every time you make fun of the horrible acting and you pretend not to notice when she sings the songs word-for-word beneath her breath. Under the guise of snuggling closer, you lean in to hear better, barely holding back a sigh. You know she loved singing in a band and you can’t help but hope that somehow, at the F Bomb’s show, she gets another chance to do what she loves.

I’ve been taking a lot of screenshots as I’ve played through Splatoon 2, but I’ve neglected to upload them because it’s difficult to stop playing long enough to do so (whoops). However, I’m going to do so now in order to get caught up, and hopefully be better about posting screencaps of cool things in the future.

So, first, as per usual, the game starts off with a broadcast. In Splatoon, the Squid Sisters were the ones who always handled the broadcasts. But now, in the sequel---and I have little doubt this has a lot to do with the story mode, as well as just wanting to introduce new characters (and it wouldn’t surprise me if Marina being Octarian played into it), the broadcasts are handled by a pop duo known as Off the Hook, starring Pearl and Marina.

Anyway, the introductory broadcast to the game introduces the single-player campaign, of course, and I love how Pearl references the fact that the Octarians stealing the Great Zapfish is the exact same plot from the first game’s single-player campaign. However . . .

. . . there is a twist this time around, since Callie is “missing” as well. Hmmm . . .

Pearl gets over it pretty quickly, though, lmao. (And really, the fact that Pearl doesn’t care about the Great Zapfish is, I feel, another clue that Inkopolis doesn’t necessarily need it, at least not more than the Octarians might . . .)

Once the broadcast ends, the game decides to show you all the different features of Inkopolis Square, just in case you’re not bright enough to explore the place yourself. In so doing, it introduces the new Salmon Run part of the game . . .

I love how they keep hammering home that this is sketchy and shady and not that great, hahaha. That said, I get the feeling that the Salmonids, like the Octarians, are more victims than villains, despite how they’re being painted. I especially feel that way in this case, since we’re stealing their eggs for some sketchy dude’s profit. :/ Man . . .

Rude af. I can’t believe I have to already have a job and work experience to get a job to get work experience in Splatoon 2 as well. Art imitates life.

When you have more experience you can work, though, and like I said, I really love how they keep hammering home that this is not a good job, you are making a poor life choice.

Inklings can’t swim, though. Tf are you trying to say to me?

Anyway, after I did Salmon Run a couple of times, I went and played some (more) multiplayer, and . . .

I tried, OK. I did my best. I have no regrets. (Especially since I scored more points than anyone on the winning team, because remember: The winning team gets an extra 1000 points. The highest score anyone on the winning team had before the bonus was 729. I was better than that. Sadly, with two teammates disconnecting partway trhough the match, there was not a whole lot I could do . . .)

tfw you win a match by .3%.

And once again, I was the highest scoring person on my team, even if the highest scorer on the losing team had a slightly better score than I did. (Only slightly, though.) I’m still not as consistently good as I was in the first game, but I’m getting there. Once I have better gear / better weapons, I’m sure I’ll be back on top form, especially once I get used to all the new maps. (Though they better add Kelp Dome in an update at some point or so help me . . .)

Anyway, it soon became time for some story mode / single-player campaign playthrough, and once I realized I could unlock Hero Dualies this way, that’s all I’ve been doing. That said . . .

THERE SHE IS---THE BEST GIRL, THE SUPERIOR SQUID SISTER, MY LOVELY MARIE. ♥

When you go to talk to her, Marie explains about how she wants to go get the Great Zapfish back from the Octarians after they stole it, but that she can’t leave her post because that would mean leaving it defenseless, and so she needs someone else to go get it back and thinks you’d be perfect for the job. She also drops not-subtle hints about Callie, but those, I think, were supposed to be under her breath or in her inner thoughts. Regardless, she recruits you as Agent 4 (Callie was Agent 1, Marie is Agent 2, and you were Agent 3 in the first game) and sends you to go fight the Octarians. You may remember that I mentioned in an earlier post about how Marie is particularly savage toward the Octarians, and, well---

I was not kidding.

This really leads me to believe that Marie thinks that the Octarians kidnapped Callie as well as the Great Zapfish. Of course, I now think that Callie took the Great Zapfish when she defected to the Octarians, but Marie doesn’t seem to know / realize that’s what happened.

Rude af. I am Agent 3! (I can’t believe it’s already been two years since the first game came out, though, omfg.)

I can’t believe Marie betrayed me like this. (I looked it up and apparently the pineapple pizza debate was a Splatfest topic in the EU for the first game, and Marie was anti-pineapple, and they won . . . but I still feel so betrayed she’d take that stance in the first place. How could you Marie? I know you’ve betrayed me other times, with other Splatfest topics (the Red Version vs. Blue Version debate comes to mind---Callie was right there, too, and you know it), but still!

The win screen for whenever you clear a level is really cute, though.

. . . as is the screen when you clear it for the second time and rescue a Zapfish plushie instead, hahaha.

I can’t believe they dragged Spyke like this. (This is from the book you fill in as you find the pages in the levels. They’re similar to the sea scrolls from the first game, but are more current. ... Pun not intended.)

SHE’S INVESTED IN ME. ♥ Ily, Marie, even if you don’t know what good pizza is.

mfw:

YES, YES IT WAS. (I’m sorry, no offense to Off the Hook, but their catchphrase is just so stupid . . .)

Anyway, at the end of every section you have a boss battle, and there are wireless transmissions at the end of each boss battle. And at the end of the second boss battle . . .

HMMM, I WONDER . . .

I have the same reaction whenever Sheldon starts talking, tbh.

This was the second time I was forced to use a godforsaken charger in one of the maps, and I just

UNFORTUNATELY, despite it being a “request”, you don’t have the option to say no. You have to play through the level with the assigned weapon at least once. I already complained about this enough yesterday, so I won’t do it again, but god, I hate it so much, particularly since it means I have to play through most levels twice since you have to clear every level with your desired Hero weapon in order to unlock it for multiplayer, and I want the Hero Dualies. Ugh.

♥

Hahaha, I didn’t grab a screenshot of it, but in an earlier level after making a particularly risky jump, she asks if I consider myself to be “the reckless type”, and that she sure does consider me to be the reckless type. I mean, I am, I won’t deny it.

I love her.

mfw:

It was for a boss fight, too. I FELT SO #BLESSED. Oh, and here was the boss:

And then I destroyed him and his sweet new coat. Sorry, bro. :/ (Oh, and if you’re wondering, he was a boss from the first game, hence why he was “back”.)

But since this was a boss, that means that we had a post-battle wireless transmission, so . . .

She loves Callie so much. ;__; And I say this, because look at the word choice: “Even more than the Great Zapfish, I want to find my cousin Callie.” Marie is sending Agent Four after the Great Zapfish because she views it as a duty. This is a necessity, it’s something (and anyone she can recruit to help) must due because Inkopolis (supposedly) needs it. But she wants to find Callie, and she wants to find Callie even more than the Great Zapfish. Callie means that much to her. Callie is her best friend. Biologically, Callie might be her cousin, but in her heart, Callie is her sister. And something tells me she’s going to be in for a lot of emotional pain when she learns the truth . . . poor, poor Marie. ;__;

Anyway, she goes on to explain about how she’s Agent 2 and Callie was Agent 1, and---

OH, so THAT’S the excuse for why your inkling from the first game is just mysteriously out of the picture, haha. Though that begs the question . . . what is your inkling from the first game doing with Cap’n Cuttlefish? Why is your inkling from the first game with Cap’n Cuttlefish? Things aren’t safe with him! He’s not wise! He gets captured because he’s distracted by crabby cakes! Like, bruh! Have some sense!!

Anyway, then the transmission was interrupted again---

HMMM, I WONDER WHO IT COULD POSSIBLY BE . . . :/

I mean, I guess there’s still a chance that Callie hasn’t defected. Maybe she’s telling Marie to leave because she’s worried Marie will get hurt, or maybe she was kidnapped and is now brainwashed. Her eyes are red in that icon, after all (but so are the Octolings’, so that could just be because of some fancy goggles). Either way, that’s very obviously Callie, and if she’s helping the Octarians decorate their bases, something tells me she isn’t here unwillingly. Right now, I’m sticking by the theory that she is the one who stole the Great Zapfish (and all the other Zapfish) for the benefit of the Octarians, and that she has defected willingly because she has come to see that they aren’t all evil and that peace should be made between the two races. (Though why she isn’t working to actually make that peace doesn’t make sense. You’d think she’d come forward and talk to Marie (and Cap’n Cuttlefish) about it, rather than letting Marie think she had been kidnapped and is in serious danger, but . . . well. The plot has to happen some way, I guess.)

Anyway, I’ll post more as I can get to it. Stay tuned, and as always . . . stay fresh. ;D

If you’re still willing to do it or haven’t done it already for the in depth fandom questions: FFXV

Hi! I managed to reply earlier after all ;D I’m not entirely sure which meme this was, so I did the first one I could find, it’s one I’ve done before so hopefully it’s okay

Btw, I’m always willing for these fandom questions, so just as a note to everyone, it’s never too late to send them in :)

Top 5 favourite characters: Noctis, Lunafreya, Regis, Aranea, RavusOther characters you like: Prompto, Gentiana, Ignis.Least favourite character: I am so sorry to say this, because I sound like a jerk, but Iris. I usually adore all ff females (she and Lucrecia from DOC are the only exceptions), but I just can’t stand her crush on a guy who’s openly engaged to someone else. It’s just not that cool or adorable in my eyes. But that’s probably just me.Otps: Luna/Noctis all day, every dayNotps: Iris/Noctis, Noctis/Prompto (I have absolutely nothing against slash ships, Squall/Cloud is like my favorite ship right now, I just don’t particularly care for this one), Lunafreya/NyxFavourite friendship: Prompto/Noctis, Gentiana/LunafreyaFavourite family: Regis and Noctis, and also Ravus and Luna!Favourite episode: I’m gonna take this as favorite chapter! Chapter 14. I love older!Noctis. He’s amazing.Favourite season/book/movie: This I will take as favorite scene, maybe? The whole ending sequence from Ardyn dying as Noctis watches after their battle, to Noctis and Luna finally getting married.Favourite quote: "I’m home. I walked tall, and though it took me a while... I’m ready now.” - Noctis. Also: “I do not fear death. What I fear is doing nothing and losing everything.” - Lunafreya

Moment that made you fangirl/boy the hardest: A particular one that comes to mind is when Luna shows up to help Noctis in Insomnia in the Royal Edition version. Plus, seeing the Knights of the Round (I know they’re really the Kings of Lucis, but still)When it really disappointed you: The lack of Luna/Noctis, and Luna as a character. I realize that the game is primarily about a road trip between bros, but Final Fantasy has always been fantastic at writing driven, gentle, badass, interesting and fleshed out female characters. I wish they had given Luna more of a chance to be the epic person that she is. And I would have loved at least one proper scene between Luna and Noctis.Saddest moment: Luna dying, and most specifically the goodbye scene between Noct and Luna in the meadow. When Luna says “would that I could join you, but this moment will have to be enough,” I cry every time, without fail. Most well done character death: I believe that Noctis’ death was built up wonderfully, and it was so bittersweet. I truly hope that no alternative ending ever becomes the new canon. The main character’s death worked in Crisis Core, and it works here. It’s heartbreaking, but Noctis is the chosen king, and it was always his destiny. It’s unfair, but it’s his story arc. I don’t want it erased.Favourite guest star: I guess they both count, so Amy Shiels as Luna, and Sean Bean as Regis in Kingsglaive.Favourite cast member: Out of the main cast, Ray Chase, for sure. He is a fantastic voice actor, just superb. And in general, Sean Bean. Character you wish was still alive: Luna. She didn’t deserve what she got, and if there’s gonna be any erasing of anything in her episode, it better be her death. Though I think it’s unlikely.One thing you hope really happens: That they keep the ending as it is despite what Tabata and co have said about Luna’s upcoming episode. But if not that, then if there is a new happy ending, then that it includes both Luna and Noctis.Most shocking twist: I was pretty shocked to find out about Prompto’s origins when I first did.When did you start watching/reading: I believe it was early 2017? I was a tad reluctant at first, the idea of driving around in a car endlessly in a Final Fantasy game felt a bit foreign to me. But a friend of mine spoke highly of it, and I took a chance, and I’m happy I did.Trope you wish they would stop using: I don’t know what trope Iris qualifies as, but that.One thing this show/book/film does better than others: Shows that the main male protagonist can be both goofy and a bit of a dork while still being strong and masculine in his own right. It’s usually one or the other. Noctis is a total idiot, but he’s also an incredibly brave and genuine king.Funniest moments: I honestly love any moment when Noctis is incredibly awkward when trying to make small talk with others. I also like it, for some reason, when Noctis, Ignis and Prompto go with Aranea to that sunken tomb/temple/etc), and the floor collapses, and Noctis just shouts “Shit!” I don’t know why, but it gets me every time.Couple you would like to see: Just more Luna and Noctis, please and thank you.Actor/Actress you want to join the cast: They could bring Cloud in as a guest star and I could hear Steve Burton’s voice. That would be lovely.Most boring plotline: I keep being mean, but the whole date with Noctis and Iris made me cringe.Best flashback/flashfoward if any: I love any flashbacks with Luna and Noctis, honestly. Plus that moment of baby!Noctis being held by Regis.Most layered character: To me, it is and always will be Noctis. I think he is wonderfully written and easy to relate to. Bless his idiot heart.Scariest moment: I guess seeing Ravus’ corpse come to life?Grossest moment: I think the same applies here.Best looking male: Noctis, but just his older version.Best looking female: Lunafreya, both versions.Who you’re crushing on (if any): Cloud’s the only ff male I’m crushing on, but like I said, older Noctis does things to me.

Most beautiful scene (scenery/shot wise): The farewell scene in the meadow with Noctis and Luna. And the wedding scene.

Unanswered question/continuity issue/plot error that bugs you: I’m confused as to why Luna wouldn’t be worthy of wearing the ring, but Nyx would. Nothing wrong with Nyx, it just confuses me a little.At what point did you fall in love with this show/book: Basically from the moment the game started. Latest by the time they got to Altissia.

Thank you so much, this was a lot of fun! :D

Last Time’s Egao Count: 263

Nico: Participant Sakaki specializes in using Action Cards to turn the tables! Shuzo: I feel like I’ve seen this before… But just what is it? A tangerine? No… It’s something else… Nico: Sawatari, Gongenzaka, and Tsukikage have not suffered any damage so far, While Sakaki Yuya’s Life Points have been whittled down to 2200 due to Tsukikage’s attack! Ayu: Hang in there, Big Bro Yuya! Reiji: Show him no mercy, Tsukikage! Give Sakaki Yuya a thorough beatdown! Himika: Reiji-san! If you do that, that child will… Yusho: If he is defeated just like that, then Yuya is still not that good as a Duelist yet. Reiji: Mother. I’m sorry to say this, but should he fail, you’ll have to give up on Reira’s smile. (Egao Count: 263+1=264) Himika: *gasps* Himika: This poor child became like this because of me…It’s all my fault. I treated this child as nothing more than a tool to enact my revenge against Akaba Leo. As a result, this child can no longer smile… (Egao Count: 264+1=265) Reira: I won’t let this happen again! I will seal Zarc away! Zarc: AAAAAHHHH! Reira: AAAAHHHHHH! Himika: I was wrong! Please forgive me, Reira! Tsukikage: My turn is still not over yet! Kagen’s Pendulum Effect activates! It gains the Pendulum Effect of the Jogen in the Pendulum Zone! Yuya: Jogen’s effect!? Piercing damage again!? Tsukikage: Battle! I attack Hippo Token with Getsuga! Yuya: Getsuga’s ATK is 2000! GONGENZAKA: Hence, the amount of piercing damage will be 2000. SAWATARI-SAN: However, Yuya’s Life Points are 2200. He could’ve done better. Tsukikage: Kagen’s second effect activates! Once per turn, when my Ninja monster attacks, it will gain 500 ATK! Yuya: What!? Nico: Whoa! If this attack goes through, his Life will hit zero! Is Yuya going to lose this early in the game!? Narrator: Action Duel was born from the realization of Solid Vision with mass. This kind of Duel is one where the Field, monsters, and Duelists become one, And send the audience into a storm of excitement. (Opening Sequence) Yuya: Hippo! Tsukikage: How pitiful! A decoy!? Yuya: Action Magic, Miracle, activate! Hippo Token is not destroyed, and the damage is halved! SAWATARI-SAN: Interesting. I’m joining in! Trap Card, Abyss Improvisational Theater – Improv, activate! The battle damage will be increased by the ATK of a Level-4 or below Abyss Actor monster! Yuya: What!? Nico: Whoa! Sawatari is lending Tsukikage a hand!? GONGENZAKA: Hold it! When there’s no Magic or Trap Cards in my Graveyard, And damage is inflicted through a battle with a Defense Position monster, I can send Superheavy Samurai Otasu-K to the Graveyard, and activate its effect! (Notes: Otasu-K is a pun onお助け (Otasuke), which means assistance, help, etc.) GONGENZAKA: I activate Otasu-K’s effect! During damage calculation, the DEF of a Superheavy Samurai monster on my Field will be added to the DEF of another Defense Position monster! Nico: Oh! Now, Gongenzaka is lending Yuya a hand! Nico: and due to the effect of Abyss Improvisational Theater – Improv, the damage is increased by 1100! Tsukikage received a total of 1600 damage! SAWATARI-SAN: Whoops, sorry about that, Tsukikage. I was planning to help you, but it backfired instead. Tsukikage: Don’t worry about it. Tsukikage: When the Battle Phase ends, Getsuga’s ATK returns to normal. I end my turn. Yuya: Thank you! You’re a lifesaver, Gongenzaka! GONGENZAKA: Don’t get the wrong idea! It’s not like I wanted to help you. Yuya! I will be the one who will defeat you! Yuya: Hah. Okay, then. But first, we have to deal with those two! GONGENZAKA: Right! Nico: My goodness! This has turned into a Tag Duel, with Yuya and Gongenzaka teaming up against Sawatari and Tsukikage! Ayu: Big Bro Yuya and Gongenzaka are teaming up! Tatsuya: Amazing! This looks fun! Futoshi: SHIVEERRRS! Yuya: The fun… Yuya/GONGENZAKA: …has just begun! Yuya: It’s my turn!

When the only card on my Field is Curtain Raiser, During damage calculation only, its ATK will be doubled! SAWATARI-SAN: Even your ace monster, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, can only inflict 300 damage. That’s how great I am. I’m the Super Ultra Hyper Strong Duelist— Yuya: I attack Sawatari Shingo directly with Entermate Discover Hippo! SAWATARI-SAN: AAAAAHHHHH! Yuya: I end my turn! Yuya: But why did I go to the Synchro Dimension? Why exactly did I go… SAWATARI-SAN: All right! It’s time to open my magnificent entertainment theater! SAWATARI-SAN: Even the genius Duelist, Akaba Reiji, has great expectations for me and entrusted me with the task of conquering Academia! Now, I, Sawatari Shingo, shall show you the greatest Entertainment Duel ever! Yuya: We’ll see about that. You’re not the one who will perform the greatest Entertainment Duel! It will be me, the son of the pioneer of Entertainment Dueling, Sakaki Yusho! SAWATARI-SAN: Hah! Then, let’s have a match to decide who is the true Entertainment Duelist! Yuya: Sure!

But I can’t stop thinking about this thing… A tangor? AAAAHHHH! Stop! Stop! For now, I’ll just leave this thing in the storage room, And go see Yuya’s Duel! Yuzu: Don’t come in without my permission! Shuzo: Heh!? What was that voice!? This room is not a storage room! SAWATARI-SAN: It’s not over yet! Let’s start the second act! From my hand, I activate the Quick-Play Magic, Abyss Performance! I halve the ATK of an Abyss Actor monster on my Field, allowing it to attack again! Yuya: That’s right! The Lancers left the Xyz Dimension, And headed to the Duel Academia in the Fusion Dimension. I was searching for someone back then… SAWATARI-SAN: Why are you spacing out!? Battle! I attack Discover Hippo with Abyss Actor – Big Star again! Yuya: Due to the effect of the Trap Card, Entertainment Dragon's Shadow, The cards on my Field won’t be destroyed during this turn! SAWATARI-SAN: BUT YOU’LL STILL TAKE DAMAGE!

Shuzo: Look, just give me the mike! Yuya: Gongenzaka has equipped Double Horn to Big Benkei! Now then, what kind of Duel will he show us!? Shuzo: Yuya!

Reiji: He remembers now, huh? Leo: The world is breaking into four again! Reiji: Zarc will be reincarnated in the four dimensions again, and the same things will repeat! Reira: I won’t let it happen again! I will seal Zarc away! Reiji: Back then, Reira drove Ray’s soul out of himself with his own will, And sealed Zarc’s wicked soul deep within himself. Yuya: Reira? REIRAAAAAAA! Reiji: And as a result of the dimensional split, Reira was reborn as a baby, and lost his smile… (Egao Count: 266+1=267) Himika: But I still have faith… Himika: …That some day, this child will have a gentle smile on his face again… (Egao Count: 267+1=268) Reiji: Yeah… We regained our memories for that purpose.

SAWATARI-SAN: AAAAHHHHH! GONGENZAKA: Then, due to Double Horn’s effect, When there’s no Magic or Trap Cards in my Graveyard, The monster equipped with it can attack one more time! Yuya: And then, I… I… Yuya: Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon can attack twice during the Battle Phase! I… Yuzu: Stop it! Yuya: Yuzu… Yuzu: Please… Don’t let your anger control you! Yuzu: So, come back. Return to your true self! Smile like you always do! (Egao Count: 268+1=269) Ruri: No! Yuto: Ruri! Yuya: I attack Pendulum Ruler with Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon! Yuzu: YUYAAAAAAAAA! GONGENZAKA: Super heavy Samurai Kaku-5’s Monster Effect activates! When a Superheavy Samurai monster on my Field destroys a monster through battle, I can destroy the two cards in my Pendulum Zone, allowing to attack one more time! Tsukikage: My role is now over. Yuya: I… Yuya: And I will keep on winning! Until I destroy everything in the world! Yuya: My Astrograph Magician, who rules over space and time,! With your unfathomable power, Overlay our desires together! Yuya: I… I WAS ZARC! (Sing with us in the ending!) (Preview for Episode 143) Yuya: Zarc’s evil spirit, which was locked inside me, is now residing inside Reira. Reira can no longer smile as a result. (Egao Count: 269+1=270) If I can bring Reira’s smile back, (Egao Count: 270+1=271) The evil spirit inside him might go away… But…What am I supposed to do!? GONGENZAKA: If you’re going to keep moping around, I, the manly Gongenzaka, will save both Yuzu and Reira myself! Yuya: Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V: Soul of the Supreme King The fun has just begun!
