"Welcome back mistress!"

Koakuma greeted Patchouli at the entrance, carrying a large heap of books that clearly would be impossible for a girl at her physique to be able to lift... but Koakuma was stronger than even fully grown human men. "Whatever happened to your clothes, mistress?"

"I lost it." Patchouli answered bluntly as she scanned the library with whatever little bits of magic she had left with Farsight spell. "Who's the guest, Koakuma?"

"A friendly man entered, looking for books to read."

"...are you sure he was friendly, Koakuma? I warned about people's facade."

"Well, I-" Koakuma stuttered. That was the problem with Koakuma. She was too naive and too kind, while Patchouli was the opposite, all-knowing and cynical.

"No matter. Make sure he doesn't steal any of my books." Patchouli looked around again, dropped Kenway's cape, and walked away. "If a man by the name of Edward Kenway comes about, give this cape back to him."

"What will you do until then, mistress?" Koakuma asked.

"I'll have to take a bath. I reek of dead fish smell."

"Of course. I shall order the fairy maids to prepare a warm bath for you."

"You'd be surprised how fast info comes to the Inventory. Especially when you're the owner of it." Koishi replied.

"Well there's rare materials inside all of these things. I'll go and gather some, and when we get back to Earth, I might see about doing something with it. I would need to burrow your armor for an hour, though." HP suggested.




Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Jack just shrugged it off.

"Well, my reputation means as much as a speck of dust does to you."

Jack tried to continue... but his curiosity had piqued.

"... say... what was said about me?"

Munich, Germany

After the original distress call was relayed back to the Maverick Hunters, a damaged familiar red robot could be seen laying down in the distance among a pile of massacred Maverick Hunters. The area looked like a literal warzone. Vehicles destroyed, buildings damaged, and dead bodies both robotic... and human were strewn everywhere. The only things that weren't immediately visible were the ones who caused the damage...

"Well... since it is going to be Christmas in a day or so we were just talking about what we might be doing today if there isn't any emergencies to take care of, but it seems like you might have too much on your mind to worry about Christmas anyways..." Chris said as he leaned up against the wall.


Claire simply sat on her bed, occasionally looking at Six with a... mostly sad expression on her face. It was obvious that she was still worried about Six's well-being... but she did not say a single word.

"How horrible. To die in the Christmas day." EVE commented.

"True." Nitori sighed as she hovered a few feet up in the air to scan the area. She saw the dead humans and robotic androids alike strewn across the city, but one corpse caught her attention. It was out in the distance, but the polished red metal plate was undeniable. "Zero...?"

Nitori tumbled across the streets to reach the red robot to see if she can really identify it as her boyfriend.


Hakugyokurou, Gensokyo


Youmu's lifestyle wasn't exciting at all. She would wake up at 5:00 AM, patrol the extremely large Hakugyokurou, report to her mistress Yuyuko, practice swordsmanship, tend to the gardens, patrol again, wait until Yuyuko sleeps, and then sleep. However, recently, she had one more job to do...

"Axl-san. If you do not wake up, I will slash your hard drive open."

Youmu had to wake up an equally-lazy Reploid Axl, an android with an X scar across his face and a haphazard auburn hair. After helping with the battle of Gensokyo four months ago, Axl has taken interest with Yuyuko and began living with her in Hakugyokurou. Things were lively, and Youmu appreciated that, but...

"Okay. That sounds good to me.", Takoizu said as she altered the boundary of big and small on the Celestial ore, shrinking it until it was the size of a pebble. It was still just as heavy as before, but Takoizu managed to make it small enough to fit into a pocket. After the ore shrank, Takoizu picked it up and placed it into her armor's storage compartment for later.

"So, there's ore ores?", Takoizu asked The Higher Power in a curious tone.

Six looked like something was on his mind, but right now it was because Claire looked sad. Six had no idea what she was sad about. Was it because of what happened back in the hangar? Six didn't think much of his injureies, especially when his previous missions came to mind, but maybe Claire really was worried.

"Don't worry, even we take breaks during Christmas. Mine had officially started ever since I landed in the hangar. It was an operation that took 34 hours, but that was out of my control. What matters is that I'm here.", Six calmly said to Chris as he walked over to Claire.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?", Six asked Claire as he walked over to her and knelt down in front of her, to be at eye level with her.

The red robot among the pile of bodies turned out to in fact be Zero... however he was unconscious. He shown signs of serious damage, but nothing truly fatal. His body was covered in scorch marks, and what looked like dents and bullet holes in his armor.

As Nitori approached the unconscious Zero something was off... the sky quickly grew dark as a few bolts of lightning began to rain down in the area. The bolts of lightning did not seem to be random, they seemed to be targeting things like Satellite dishes, radio towers, street lights, anything that can get a signal. All the while the sound of what seemed to be an army of metal footsteps echoed throughout the area... with the noise getting closer, and closer with each second.



Hakugyokurou, Gensokyo

When Youmu came in to wake Axl up from his "sleeping session" he at first didn't budge or say a thing. However he was still able to hear everything around him, and when he heard Youmu say that she would rip out his freaking hard drive he immediately woke up from Sleep Mode. Axl shot up as he quickly scanned the room. "AH I'M SORRY MISS YOUMU!!!" He quickly said as he turned to her. "I-I was just taking a quick power nap to recharge! Y-Yea that's what I needed to do!" He said with a real nervous chuckle.

"Oh no, Zero..." Nitori clutched Zero's damaged body and cried. She was still the kindhearted Kappa inside, with or without toned body.

"Nitori..." EVE tried to comfort Nitori, but not until this. "Nitori, we're being surrounded."

Nitori took a glance around her. Nothing was visible, but she could hear the faint clink and clunk. clink clunk the sound of robots.

"EVE, set up a perimeter. Quarter of a mile." Nitori said to EVE, who at her headquarter was busy assimilating the city of Munich temporarily. She rose, CAIN at hand, PDS set up, ADAM ready to take flight.

"Bring it."


Hakugyokurou - Gensokyo


"Really..." Youmu sighed, brushing her silver bangs away. "I didn't really mean to do that... But you really should refrain from sleeping from dusk to... Dusk."

Youmu pointed at the open door: the sky was golden orange with sun setting to the west. "Please at least do wake up and address Yuyuko-sama properly."

As the Maverick army approached they immediately stopped within 20 meters of Nitori. She was completely and truly surrounded as the small army of Maverick Variant's stopped in place. They all looked like they were waiting for Nitori to make the first move... the very moment Nitori, or any of her drones would strike, the army of rogue androids will attack...



Hakugyokurou - Gensokyo


"Wake up Yuyuko? O-Okay I'll get on that as soon as possible, and I'll try and be reasonable about it! I mean I'll try and do it properly..." Axl said as he politely bowed to Youmu.

"Oh and Youmu... thanks for letting me stay here with Ms. Yuyuko. I thought at first you were going to kill me, rip out my motherboard, and have the kappa turn me into a toaster or something... You know I shouldn't have said that! I'm going to go wake up Yuyuko now!" He said as he quickly got up and proceeded to head towards Yuyuko's room.

"Looks like they're waiting on me." Nitori said as she lugged Zero's fallen body up on her shoulder. "Maybe they won't attack if I don't retaliate... Too bad about the others, but at least Zero can be safe."

Hoping that the Mavericks do not attack, she carefully lifted off, Zero on her shoulders.


Hakugyokurou - Gensokyo


Youmu sighed and turned back to patrol the palace again. "It's like serving two Yuyuko-san..."
