Another day went by... #5

[ Please Read ]

5 - Meditation

Afternoon was always the best time for a break.

The sunlight shone so high, causing the water to be rather warm today. He had been practicing his ninja skills ever since this morning. He woke up around 5 today, pretty much early than usual so, he had been doing his routine and practicing a lot of things and he thought it’s the time for him to take a break now.

He didn’t go to the restaurant today and called for the deliveries instead as he wanted to focus on practicing. Abyo came visiting him before lunch, asking if he wanted to join his lunch but of course he denied. When, Abyo shrugged and disappeared from the forest, Dada, the 14-year-old boy came delivering his lunch— much to his surprised. Since she usually did the deliveries things. He didn’t ask, but Dada mentioned about how many customers the restaurant had today. The boy sighed and told the story of his clumsiness that made them sent him to do delivery jobs instead.

“Pucca was very busy running around too,” said Dada

“She must be tired lately; everyone was worried though she acted as if she’s fine”

Dada shook his head talking about how Dandy took over a lot of jobs from Pucca so she could rest but she stubbornly refused to do so. That’s the way she was. Very stubborn indeed. He received the noodles from Dada and gave him a pat on the shoulder. Then, Dada left and when the sound of the motor disappeared, the forest was silent once again. The afternoon breeze blew soft to carry away the heat from the sun.

He sat on the porch stairs in front of his door and ate his lunch. Mio, his little friend meowed for attention and rubbed against his legs. He finished his meal quickly and got up on his feet, calling out for Mio to come along. He was going to meditate this afternoon. With the calming wind and soothing sun, it’s indeed a perfect time to do so.

It didn’t take long for him to get to one of his best spots for meditation. He changed spots a lot because of— you know— her. But after sometimes he would come back to the same spot since it’s his best spots for a reason. This one was on a small hill, where he could get to feel the cool afternoon breeze and saw the sunset clearly in the evening.

He found his good spot under the big tree and sat down. Mio found his place and imitated him. Then, they both started the meditation.

When his mind and his thought calm and clear, he would forget the time. He didn’t know how long he was meditating before someone arrived. He didn’t move or opened his eyes as the sound of footsteps drew closer. He felt that Mio had moved and purred indicating that the newcomer was a friend not a foe, then the wind blew and brought the certain odor of the person to him. He knew right that instance, it was her.

He almost flinched when she sat down right beside him, and he debated with himself whether he should get up and ran or not. Mio purred, satisfying with whatever she did to him. Curious, he peeked one of his eyes open to look at them and saw her petting his little friend. The little one seemed please as he climbed up on her laps and found the good spot there to rest. Soft giggled escaped her lips as she stroked the soft black fur of Mio.

She didn’t seem like tackling him with hugs or attacking him with kisses today rather, she seemed like she wanted to enjoy the calm breeze like him. So, he studied her for a moment. She looked tired— no, exhausted— Dada was right, she didn’t look so good. She didn’t even redo her buns as it’s currently messed up. Her shoulders slumped and she didn’t look as bright and cheerful as usual. He started to wonder if she’s going to get sick soon.

He closed his eye once again and lost in his thought— mostly about the girl next to him. And yes, he’s worried. He wouldn’t admit to anyone out loud that he worried about her, but it’s the truth. He hadn’t been in the village often this week since that bright blue hair girl came to live here. Another girl and another crush on him, he almost sighed. He glad that at least nobody came to find him except for the one next to him right now— she could find him every single time no matter where he went or hid. He didn’t know how she could manage that, but it had to be her finding him first. Though, sometimes he did hang out with her just like right now.

The weight on his shoulder interrupted his thoughts. This time he opened his eyes and saw she had rested her head on his shoulder. One of her hand still rested on Mio’s fur, who already sleep soundly and she, too, seemed to be drifting away in a peaceful sleep. His body tensed up a bit by the sight and didn’t what to do. She looked so tired; he didn’t want to wake her up, but her resting her head on his shoulder was also—

He let out a soft, quiet sigh, deciding to go back to his meditation and pretended she wasn’t there with him.

The tint of red appeared on his cheeks.

Only nobody was there to see it.

The sun was almost set when she opened her eyes and jolted to full awake. Mio shrieked in surprise, jumping so high he almost touched the ceiling. She couldn’t help but chuckled, then freeze. Wait, what? Mio?

She blinked twice and started to look around only to realize it’s not her room and she wasn’t in Goh-Rong but his house. She racked her brains back to the last memory before she gave in to tiredness. She remembered everyone in the restaurant keep pushing her to rest, saying she’s still so young and supposed to be playing with her friends by this time of the day. But the customers were packed, causing everyone to be busy and she just wanted to help. Then, Ching and Abyo stopped by and trying to drag her out of the restaurant.

With Dandy’s another push, they succeeded in bringing her out. So, she just sighed and hanging with the two for a while. They were visiting Garu, only to find that his house was empty. So, they split up to find him and somehow, she did? Seeing him so calm and relax on the hill, under the big tree kind of soothing her mind and she felt a sudden tiredness, so she walked up to sit next to him. Mio played with her for a moment and his soft fur just made her imagined burying her face in a fluffy pillow and before she knew it— everything was shut.

Garu brought her to his home? That’s so like and unlike him? Well, of course he would help anyone in needed, but this was not anyone but her. He never invited her into his house before and now this. She was happy of course, to know that he's care about her but also confused. Well, all in all she’s pleased and delighted.

The smell of herbs touched her nose. It made her relax. As she got up out of his bed, Mio meowed, and she petted his head as this lovely boy seemed to need attention. She felt more refreshing now, but she needed to go back to Goh-Rong before her uncles started to worry. She walked around in his house for a moment, but couldn’t find him anywhere. Maybe he went outside to run another errand? She sighed. Feeling a little disappointed, but oh well since she couldn’t thank him with a kiss or hug, then she should tidy up his bedroom a bit and of course, feeding Mio.

When she finished doing so, there was a knock on the door. Surely, that wasn’t Garu since this was his house, but she was about to head out after all, so she opened the door— to meet Ching.

“Hello, Pucca” Ching didn’t seem surprised to meet her best friend here.

Before she could make a gesture telling her friend the owner of the house wasn’t here, she grinned and cut her halfway.

“Yes, yes. I’m not here for Garu. I’m here for you!” Ching giggled. “You see, Garu told me to escort you back to your place since he needed to help Abyo and his dad a little. He’s running late, so he sent me.”

She gasped and Ching chuckled.

“What do you say, Pucca?”

She still didn’t really believe it though her cheeks already turned red. She shyly cupped her cheeks and Ching laughed.

“Oh Pucca, see, I told you that you should relax once in a while so something good like this could happen!”

She knew Ching was trying to get her out of her work, but at this moment she couldn’t refuse, and Ching smiled, holding one of her hands out so they could walk hand in hand back.

“Hmm?” Ching peeked inside when her friend closed the door behind…

Since when did Garu’s house smell like herbs?

A/N: Sorry for the delay! As I’m not very satisfied with the first version of this chapter. So, I rewrote it causing it to be 2 – 3 days delay. Still, I hope you enjoy this chapter! And I’m gonna say here that there’ll be no new chapter this weekend but a drawing log instead! Until next time :)

Take a Chance

Summary: After years of watching from a far and with a little help from a friend, Kaidan and a female Shepard finally figure things out. Smutty goodness ensue.

A/N: This one is for @vorchagirl and inspired by @alyssalenko who kept me going when I got stuck. Also I'd like to thank Alyss for beta'ing this one. :-)

Read below or at: AO3:https://archiveofourown.org/works/19039897 Ffnet: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13300191/1/Take-a-Chance

Take A Chance

The Turian had stood behind his best friend and she hadn't noticed him. That was unusual; Shepard always knew when someone was close-the sixth sense had kept her alive during the war, but now, it had apparently short-circuited. It was obvious what had her distracted. He didn't even need to follow her gaze, the heavy scent of her pheromones in the air gave it away. After he did the Turian equivalent of rolling his eyes, Garrus stepped closer to her shoulder.

"You do realize," he whispered into her ear, "You no longer need to moon at him from across the room like a lovesick school girl."

"Sorry Shepard, but even a blind man could tell how you feel about Kaidan."

"What do you mean?" Shepard dusted the imaginary lint from the skirt of her dress. "I haven't been watching anyone."

Garrus's mouth opened in a Turian equivalent of a smile and started to laugh at her again.

Shepard rolled her eyes and said, "Fine. I may have looked in Kaidan's direction."

This time her friend tilted his head in disbelief.

Before he could say anything, she stopped him, "Ok, so I may have glanced at him once or twice."

"Once or twice?" Garrus said incredulously. "You haven't taken your eyes off him all night."

"Did you need something, Garrus?" Shepard asked, "Or did you just come over here to harass me?"

"Harass you, no," he grasped the back of the other chair at the small table, "May I?" Shepard nodded. He spun the chair around, straddled it and sat down. "Offer some advice to a friend, yes."

Feeling exposed and vulnerable Shepard crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back in the chair, putting some distance between them. "What advice would that be?"

"Take a chance on love."

"It's not that simple," she sighed.

"It really is," he held up a hand to forestall the argument, he knew she'd make and touched his nose. "It's that simple. You don't need a turian sense of smell to know the pair of you are physically attracted to one another."

"Maybe," Shepard reluctantly admitted-she couldn't exactly deny it. "But there are other reasons."

"Such as?" Garrus asked, curiosity piqued.

"Fraternization regulations," she started.

"No longer apply," Garrus finished. "You're retired from active duty and you're both Spectres too."

"True," she allowed with a sigh and bit her lower lip nervously. She didn't want to have this conversation but she most especially didn't want to have it here, in public...at a party...where anyone could overhear. "It's just," but she faltered unable to say the words.

When it became obvious that she may not continue, he prompted, "It's what Shepard?" She was so wrapped in her nerves, she missed his quick glance at something just over her shoulder.

"Garrus, so many things have changed, so much has happened. Horizon happened." She looked up and met Garrus's eyes, her eyes filling with unshed tears. "What if Kaidan doesn't feel the same way about me anymore?"

Pulling out the chair next to her, Garus turned it around, straddled it, and sat down. He rested his forearms on the chair top, met Shepard's eyes. "Horizon was bad," he allowed, "Kaidan was angry and I'm sure he said some things he regretted."

A single tear streaked down one cheek, as Shepard gave him a sharp nod of agreement. "He sent me a message later."

"That day on Horizon we sprang a lot on Kaidan," Garrus admitted, "You were alive and saved by Cerberus. And against all reason you were working for them." Reaching out, he grasped her hand with his clawed one. "We asked him to give up everything he knew, violate every ethic he held dear to follow us...to follow you into the unknown with Cerberus, a known enemy."

"You did it," she whispered, the withheld tears evident in her voice.

"I did," he allowed, "But we were in very different points in our lives. I had nothing left to lose and he stood to lose everything if he followed you into enemy hands." Another tear streaked down Shepard's cheek as she nodded her understanding. "I'll admit," Garrus continued, "At the time, I was angry with him, turning his back on us...on you."

"Garrus," Shepard started but he waved her off.

"After I calmed down, let go of the anger," the Turian said, "I understood."

"I forgave Kaidan for Horizon a long time ago."

"Ok," Garrus said, drawing the word, "Then what's holding you back.?"

He tried to look into her eyes but she glanced away.

"You're physically attracted to one another," he tapped the side of his nose knowingly and Shepard blushed, "And it isn't your history. What's stopping you from chasing what you want and grabbing a little bit of happy for yourself?" Garrus saw the sad smile on his friend's face. " After all you've done, the universe owes it to you."

"Garrus," Shepard sighed, shaking her head, "It's just," but the words trailed off.

"It's what Shepard?"

They sat in their chairs, a silent battle of wills going while the party continued around them. Finally Shepard relented with a soft huff. She broke eye contact and stared at the ceiling as she admitted, "What if Kaidan's moved on? What if he doesn't feel the same way anymore? What if he got tired of waiting for me?"

An unexpected tingle ran down the back of her neck. "For you," a deep honeyed voice whispered in her ear, "I'd wait forever."

"Kaidan."

"Dance with me Shepard," Kaidan said, voice husky with desire as he offered her a hand.

Covering her mouth with one hand, Shepard cleared her throat so her voice wouldn't give away just what having him close was doing to her before she said, "Excuse me Garrus," she took the proffered hand and stood up.

Before she could say more, Garrus shooed them away. "Go, dance, and have fun. You've earned it Shepard."

"Thanks Garrus," she leaned in a gave him a quick kiss to one plated cheek, "For everything."

"You're welcome," the turian answered with a smile, "Now go, have fun, and take a chance," he reminded her.

"I'll try," Shepard replied with a small smile smile.

Holding on to her hand, Kaidan walked toward the dance floor. He could feel the eyes on them, on her, as they slowly made their way through the crowd. She was the most beautiful woman in the room and she was holding his hand. The thought made him stand a little straighter. He wasn't sure how he got this lucky. He had opportunities in the past to act on his feelings, tell her how he felt, but it never seemed to be the right moment, some emergency always hanging over their heads. But now the war was over and they'd lived through it. There were no rules or regs to stop him. He wouldn't waste the chance. Not this time…

As they stepped on to the dance floor, Kaidan held on to her hand as he gently wrapped his other arm around her waist and rested his hand in the small of her back. The heat of her body pressed against his, the feeling of her breath against his neck, and her scent threatened to overwhelm his senses. He was drowning in her and loved every moment.

She drew in a shuddering breath, Shepard wrapped her free arm around Kaidan's shoulders and played with the short hair on the back of his neck, sending a shiver through his body. At the same time, the touch of Kaidan's hand on the small of her back felt like it was burning her skin and sent a shot of heat straight to her womanhood. Her heart was racing in her chest and the feel of his body pressed against hers was making her lightheaded. The feel of him surrounded her, caressed her and protected her from everything around them. In that moment it was just the two of them.

He pulled her body close to his and their bodies molded together perfectly from chest to hip. Their gaze locked and he smirked, "It's easy, just follow my lead."

"Just lead, smart guy," Shepard rolled her eyes at the insinuation of her lack of dancing skills.

"Yes ma'am," he teased as he confidently took their first dance step.

He could feel every curve of her body as they moved to the beat, in perfect sync with one another. They twirled and swayed, never missing a step, every movement was magical.

As they focused on each other, the rest of the room disappeared. The only thing that mattered was this one single moment. As the tide of passion grew and threatened to drag them under, "Kaidan," Shepard whispered, voice expressing everything she'd never put into words, her love, desire and wanton need.

Without a word, he gently caressed her cheek with one hand before he crashed his lips down against hers. He poured all the pent up fire in his soul and years of unexpressed passion into it. As his hunger grew, Kaidan deepened the kiss and lost himself in Shepard, in this moment until finally the need for air forced them to break the kiss. He rested his forehead against hers as he tried to catch his breath, "We have forever for us."

"What if I don't want forever?"

Kaidan pulled back, shocked, surprise and hurt etched on his face.

"What if I'm done with waiting," she continued with a saucy grin, "We've put everything and everyone else first. It's time for us." Shepard pressed herself tightly against him so he could feel every luscious curve. She nipped his ear lobe and whispered into his ear huskily, "I need you."

"God Shepard," he groaned, nuzzling his nose into her neck, "What you do to me woman," he pressed his hard, aching member against her.

"Kaidan," she whined as she pressed back against him and internally cursed the layers of clothing between them."Your room or mine?"

"Either," he mumbled against her neck as he ground himself into her again, "Just," he took a ragged breath, "want you," he drew in another breath and finished, "now."

The feeling of his length pressed against her stomach nearly overwhelmed Shepard's senses and all she could manage was a small noise of agreement in the back of her throat.

After one last kiss to her neck, Kaidan took a step back and grasped her hand in his. He held on as he turned and made his way across the dance floor toward the nearby bank of elevators. "Excuse me," he muttered impatiently when someone didn't move out of his way fast enough.

They arrived at the elevators just as a car arrived and the door opened. They stepped in and Kaidan pushed the button for his floor. The moment the doors closed, Kaidan let go of Shepard's hand and turned towards her. He gave her an almost wicked smile as he backed her into the corner of the elevator. He used his body to block her from view of any cameras that may be watching them. Leaning in to her slightly, Kaidan pressed a gentle kiss to her lips.

Hungry for more, Shepard wrapped one leg around the back Kaidan's leg and pulled him closer as she reached up and played with the hair on the back of his neck. She pulled his head down and took charge of the kiss. As he moaned in pleasure, Shepard's tongue slipped into his mouth and she savored the taste of him as she plundered and explored.

All of Kaidan's senses were being overwhelmed by her. Nothing else mattered. He desperately wanted….needed more. One hand gently caressed her side, his fingertips ghosting across the side of her breast, down her hip to the hem of her dress and caressed the skin underneath. Kaidan's hand drifted up her hip and cupped her bare butt. The need for air finally forced them to break the kiss.

"No panties?" He purred as he massaged her flesh.

"Thong," she moaned, tipping her head back against the wall behind her, "No panty lines."

"God," Kaidan groaned, "What you do to me."

"And what is it I do to you?"

"This," he pressed his rock hard cock hungrily against her.

"K," was all she managed as a jolt of heat flashed through her body pooling between her thighs and she made small wanton noises in the back of her throat. Without conscious thought her body kept pace, pushing back and meeting him stroke for stroke.

Both of them had waited way too long for this moment and they were going to make the most of it. They were so focused on each other, they almost missed the sound of the lift door opening and the sharp intake of breath.

"Oh my!" a shocked voice said.

Luckily for Kira she was shielded from view by Kaidan's body. Just as Kaidan's hand slipped out from under her dress, she let her leg slip to the ground and stood straighter. She rested her head against his shoulder and drew in a few slow deep breaths in hopes of regaining some self control before facing whomever stood in the lift doors. Finally she whispered to Kaidan, "Ready?"

"No," he was still very aroused and rock hard, making it obvious what they had been doing, "But I don't have much choice." It was his turn to take a breath and straighten his jacket.

As he started to turn around, Shepard stepped around him and stood directly in front of him. This time she used her body to shield Kaidan and his arousal from prying eyes. "What floor?" she asked the older couple standing in the doorway, prompting them to either get on or allow the doors to close and the lift continue without them.

The pair stepped in and the older gentlemen answered, "87, please."

Shepard nodded, pushed the button, and the doors closed. They stood in an awkward silence before Shepard finally decided to break the ice. "Enjoying your stay at the hotel?"

"Yes," the older lady gushed with a smile, "Michael and I are celebrating our 45th anniversary. The kids gave us our stay at this beautiful hotel stay as a present."

"Congratulations," Shepard replied, truly happy for the older couple.

"Thank you," the other woman's eyes filled with a few tears. "After all we've been through, the war and everything, we're blessed to still have each other."

Kaidan gently pulled Shepard back so she was resting against his chest and wrapped his arms around her. "We're all blessed." He gently kissed her temple as she snuggled into his embrace.

"How long have you been together?" the older lady asked with a smile.

"As an official couple," Shepard tipped her head and met Kaidan's eyes, "About thirty minutes."

"That's all?"

"Aidan," her husband admonished her.

"I just meant they seem so comfortable together, so right," Hannah explained, "as if they'd been together for years."

"He's my best friend and rock through thick and thin," Shepard told the other woman. "We're just figuring the rest out now."

"Well I'm happy for you too." Hannah smiled, "Someone who sticks by your side through everything life can throw at you is rare. Don't let that slip away," she advised.

"I won't," Shepard assured her as Kaidan kissed the top of her head. The door pinged and the number 84 lit up. "This is our floor."

As they held hands, Kaidan and Shepard stepped towards the door. After it opened they started to step out when the older man laid a hand on Kaidan's shoulder stopping him. "Thank you for everything," he said in a soft meaningful tone and Kadian realized the man had recognized them. "Take care of her, she deserves it."

"Yes sir," Kaidan agreed, "For the rest of my life if she'll have me."

Michael gave him a sharp nod of acknowledgement as the door closed between them.

"What did he say?" Shepard stopped in front of a door just down the short hall.

"He thanked us and told me to take care of you." Kaidan stopped behind her and wrapped her in his arms again, her back pressed to his front. "Told him for the rest of my life, if you'd have me."

"Forever."

They stood together for a minute, enjoying the feel of having the other close. Finally, Shepard reached out and keyed a code into the door pad and the doors opened. As she stepped inside her room, Shepard held onto Kaidan's hand tugging him in behind her and allowing it to shut behind them. Turning to him, she wrapped hand around the back of his neck, pulled his head down to her and pressed her lips to his in a searing kiss. She played with the hair on the back of his neck as she nipped and sucked, tasted and explored his mouth until she was finally forced to break the kiss.

Losing himself in the moment, Kaidan was overwhelmed by his need for this woman. He'd literally waited years for her and now even one more minute seemed to long. Using his larger size to his advantage, Kaidan turned them and pinned Shepard between his body and the wall. "Need you."

"Let's see," Shepard said as one hand drifted down between them, "how badly." She slipped her fingers under the waistband of his pants and the boxers underneath and she wrapped them around Kaidan's already erect cock. She slowly began to stroke the velvety hard flesh.

"God Shepard," Kaidan moaned as he tipped his head back and his eyes closed.

He was so engrossed in the feelings she was creating in his body, that Kaidan missed his only warning, the wicked grin she shot him. Before he knew it, they'd swapped places and he was pinned against the wall by Shepard.

"What now, Shepard?" He breathed out, watching her now.

"This," her hand slipped out of his pants.

"What." he started, not wanting her to stop.

The rest of his words died on his lips when Shepard pushed off his jacket off his shoulders and down his arms and allowed it to drop to the floor. Next, she grasped the front of his shirt in both hands and yanked it open. Buttons flew off, scattered across the floor and the damaged shirt joined his jacket. Shepard drew her hands down the gorgeous exposed skin of Kaidan's chest down to his washboard abs. It was perfect.

Kaidan's eyes were locked on her as she carefully knelt in front of Kaidan. He watched her lick her lips before reaching out and unfastening his belt, unsnapping the snap, and pushing down the zipper. Reaching up with both hands, Shepard ran her fingers along the waistband of his pants to the small of his back. Sliding her fingers under the fabric, she pushed the fabric down his hips and cupped his ass in her hands. She relished the feeling of his flesh in her hands. With a fissure of disappointment, she slid her hands around front, pushing the fabric down and freeing his cock.

She reached out to grasp it and hesitated, slowly pulling her hand back."I ummm," she started, glancing away for a second, "Is this…" before looking up and meeting his eyes. "Is this okay?"

"Kira?" He reached out and stroked her cheek with a thumb.

"Is this okay?" She turned into his gentle touch. "It's not to fast. You want this too?"

"Okay," he continued the gentle motion, "This is more than okay. This is everything I've dreamed of, everything I've wanted for years. And it's definitely not too slow, it's been years in the making," he empathized the last part, "I want this."

That was all the reassurance Shepard needed. She bit her lower lip in anticipation as she reached out and wrapped her hand around the base of his cock and stroked it gently.

Kaidan's head thumped back against the wall and he made needy sounding noises in the back of his throat. Seemingly of their own accord, his hips started thrusting into her own hold, meeting her stroke for stroke.

Shepard leaned in and licked Kaidan's cock from base to tip and back like a lollipop. After tasting him a few times, she was unable to wait any longer. All the blood in his brain headed south when she sucked his length into her hot mouth. He was incapable of any thought as she wrapped her hand around the part she couldn't take into her mouth and began working his cock in and out of her mouth, setting a steady pace. She sucked and tasted every part of him. He was thrusting into her heated mouth, meeting her stroke for stroke. He finally bottomed out, hitting the back of her throat.

"Shep…," the word trailed off as his need for her built. He wrapped his fingers in her long, beautiful hair, just trying to hold on as he came ever closer to the edge.

Any control he had left snapped when she plunged down and deep throated his length. "Stop, stop, stop," he moaned trying to still her actions, "I'm close."

She just hummed her understanding but kept working his cock, not stopping but ramping up her actions, harder and faster each time.

"No, our first time together," Kaidan mumbled as he tried to stop her again, "Inside of you," he breathed out as she finally stopped and released him with a pop.

He stood still, gasping for air and trying desperately to regain some control over his aching, needy body. He literally hurt with his want for her but he wanted the first time he came with Shepard to be with her and inside of her hot body. He was still rock hard and ready but with one last deep breath, Kaidan was able to offer a hand up to her. Shepard took his hand and slowly stood, pressing her lithe body to his, so she could feel the hard angles of his body against her luscious curves. Once on her feet, she leaned against his broad chest and pressed open mouth kisses to his neck down to his pulse point. She licked and lavished attention to the spot until she drew a bit of flesh into her mouth, bit down and marked him.

"Fuck" he moaned as she lathed her mark with the flat of her tongue, soothing the bruised flesh.

She licked his neck back up to his ear, nipped his earlobe and breathed out, "I need you so bad."

In one movement, Kaidan picked her up, spun them around, and pinned her against the wall. Shepard's dress bunched up over her thighs and her heels hooked around his waist as he pressed himself against her. He ran a hand up her bare thigh and cupped her ass. This time, he nipped her ear lobe and whispered into it, "My turn."

With his free hand, he grasped a handful of hair and pulled, exposing her neck. He trailed kisses down the curve of her long neck to hollow where he neck met her shoulder. He licked and sucked on the flesh, savoring the taste of her on his tongue, before he bit down and marked her. "Mine."

"Yours," Shepard readily agreed as she ground her overheated womanhood against him. "K, please."

Ignoring her pleas for the moment, Kaidan continued his explorations of the beautiful body he's dreamed of for years, pressing kisses along her clavicle. She'd occupied his fantasies in life and in death. Back on Horizon, after he'd accepted that Shepard was really whole and alive, he believed he'd lost any chance to make her his. To get a second chance with the love of his life was unfathomable. He wasn't going to waste one moment of it.

He reached into the deep v-neckline of her black dress, cupped a breast with one hand and pulled it out from under the fabric. He played with her nipple, tweaking it before he leaned in and sucked it into his mouth. He used just the tip of his tongue, circling the sensitive flesh and making it pebble.

"Kaidan." Shepard's hips bucked unconsciously into her lover.

He grinned at her before turning his attention to her other breast. He pulled it out from her dress and repeated the process. After he finished, Kadian crashed his lips against Shepard's in a desperate, needy kiss. As his hunger grew, Kaidan deepened the kiss, his tongue slipping between her lips. Their tongues touched, caressed and explored each other.

As one kiss turned to two, Kaidan's hand slipped between them. He slid a hand under her skirt and up her thigh, making Shepard moan against his lips. He nipped her bottom lip as he pushed aside the small strip of fabric of her thong and slipped a finger between her folds and across her clit.

Breaking the kiss, Shepard cried out, "Oh god," she closed her eyes in bliss and threw her head against the wall.

"So hot," Kaidan swept a finger across the the small, hard ball. "Fuck," he slipped a finger into her heated womanhood. "So wet," he slowly began to work it in and out, "So ready."

"Kaidan," Shepard nearly whined as her hips unconsciously bucked against him, "Need you."

"What do you," Kaidan managed between panting breaths. He pushed a second and a third finger in, "need?"

"You," her need spiraling out of control, she demanded, "now." She ground her core wantonly against his rock hard cock, desperately needing more.

Unable and unwilling to resist her, Kaidan was teetering on the edge himself and he ached with desire for the woman in his arms. He thrust his fingers into her as deeply as possible one last time before pulling them out of her body. She whined at the loss and nipped his lower lip. He would give her anything within his power, his love and need for her all consuming.

"Please," Shepard desperately needed to feel his length stretching and filling her.

Reaching between them, Kaidan pushed down his pants and boxer briefs down a bit more. He shoved the scrap of fabric out of his way again and lined his erection up with her over-heated core.

"There," Shepard moaned as she tried to force him into her hot body.

Resting his hands on the outside of her thighs, Kaidan sheathed himself fully inside her heat with one powerful snap of his hips.

"Yes," she cried out as the feeling of him filling and stretching her consumed her.

Gasping for air, Kaidan rested his head against her shoulder and stilled inside of her as he gave her body a moment to adjust to his size. When he could feel her beginning to squirm, he pulled his cock out, leaving just his tip inside of her heat. He rocked back and forth a few times before slamming himself back into her.

"Kaidan," she cried out in pleasure, digging her nails into his shoulders.

He hissed in pleasurable pain, thrusting into her again. He set a steady pace, in and out, harder and deeper with each powerful stroke. Shepard met him thrust for thrust.

"Need," Shepard closed her eyes and arched her back into the wall, forcing her hips closer to his. "Fuck-harder K."

He couldn't resist her-he never could. If it was within his power he'd give her anything she asked for. If it was outside of his power, he'd move heaven and earth to make it happen or die trying. She was his universe and he'd do absolutely anything for her. Kaidan already had.

He pulled out of her, before in one powerful move, snapping his hips forward and slamming back into her willing body. Kaidan repeated the movement a second, third, and fourth time, bottoming out with each stroke. He was quickly driving them closer and closer to the edge until he finally felt the telltale tightening in his balls.

"Cum with me," Kaidan ordered her as he reached between them and ghosted a finger across her engorged clit. A second swipe was all it took.

Shepard felt the warmth pooling in her belly and flooding into her womanhood before exploding in pleasure. "Yes!" she screamed as she tipped over the edge of ecstasy.

The feeling of her velvety walls clamping down hard on his cock was all it took. With one last shuddering stroke, Kaidan came deep inside of her body with a shout of euphoria.

They rode out the waves of pleasure together, holding tight to each other. Once they were spent, Kaidan's strength gave out, they sunk to the floor together. Shepards's legs still wrapped around his waist and Kaidan's cock still buried deep inside of her as they sat together and tried to catch their breath.

Finally able to breath again, Kaidan gave her a crooked little smile and started, "That was…"

"Amazing," Shepard finished, pressing an innocent kiss to his lips.

"How do we top that?" Kaidan teased her as he nipped her neck.

"Not sure," she tipped her head to the side, baring more skin to him. "But we have a lifetime to try."

"Forever," he whispered.

"Forever," she agreed….

The End….

its been 2 weeks since the disappearance of mika song. today on social media her family have made a plea to the public for any information on their daughter’s whereabouts. she was last seen with her friend known to the public as “JO2.”

in the trail of fire i know we will be free again, in the end we will be one. in the trail of fire ill burn before you bury me, set your sights for the sun.

tw: religious topic, religious trauma, gore?, this ones fucked up ok, also its quite long

she drags the red lipstick carelessly, it somehow falls perfectly. the bright tones drawing attention from the darkened haze that lingered in her lifeless optics that sat dormant on the male 2 feet in front of her. a floorboard creaks beneath them, the sound bouncing off of the decrepit oak walls that cornered the two off from the rest of the world, it alarms him. his fear is made evident with a quite tremble. mika loves it.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ blessed be. mae jesus yn dy garu di. ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ” ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍translation: jesus loves you. she watched as the realisation sets in, oh how she revelled in the dismay. ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ don’t be frightened. remember, nothing shall disturb your slumber. nothing shall bring you harm, uncle. ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ” ‍ ‍ ‍mike raised a hand, bringing it down harshly to collide with his bloodied cheek. there’s a rush. a feeling. it’s strange. it’s powerful. she loves it. mika loves it. any anxiety that might of sat with her from her flight between seoul and wales had left as that glorious sensation sparked through her veins. this was the right thing to do. her blood lips curve into a smile. her hand comes down again. and again. and again. he’s crying. she’s not stopping.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍“‍ ‍ ‍ my child. ‍ ‍ ” ‍ ‍ she repeats this phrase to him. he’s 45. she doesn’t care. she wants them to experience that she felt. the blessings their god had given her, all those years ago. it’s her turn to deliver the message. through the cracked glass she spots a female, staring unconsciously into the fire that burned in the centre of their little village. her eyes seemed longing, pained. lost. uncertain. she’s muttering something silently to herself, mika can’t quite figure it out. her mother tongue was lost along with the suffering and hatred her brain locked deep away. as the brunette stared at this young girl, there was a tight feeling growing in her chest. with each blink her face got more and more fuzzy. was she starting to cry? why? prying away her vision for a moment to collect her thoughts mika fought the urge to look again. it was too strong. tearful eyes wander back and the girl is staring her way now. except, it wasn’t “a young girl” it was her. mika song. exactly how she stood that night. the night before everything changed. a voice snaps her out of her own head, it’s jojo. her anxiety melts away and she almost immediately wipes away her tears. they have a job to do. her feet stumble as she takes a step back from the male in the chair and adjusts her collar. her hand gestures toward the door and she shoo’s him off with a warm smile.

jojo questions her, mika responds simply with, ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ “‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ he needed to be punished. he was breaking rules. it wouldn’t like that, you know it wouldn’t. ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ” ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍she repeats a couple more phrases in welsh before brushing past him to the front door. mike watched as the male scrambled back to his hut across town. the stars above them judged silently as their light kept the night sky alive. everything was ever-changing, nothing ever stayed. but the stars, the sky, they’d seen it all. they knew what she’d been through - what her and jojo had been through. their judgement was beautiful, it was wanted, it was desired. it’d always be there, their emotions may change, their thoughts may repress. but stars don’t forget - not until death. mika didn’t fear death, not anymore. her father always taught her that death is the most beautiful part of life, that to fear death, is to love. fear is the most important emotion, it brings awareness. when you’re afraid it forces you to be completely aware of your surroundings, it makes you truly present. when you’re truly present thats nirvana. that’s pure love. death is pure love. nothing shall disturb your slumber, nothing shall do you harm. mika’s soft hands, drowned in a dark red find jojo’s cheek, her thumb reassuringly rests on the surface, gently caressing it - returning for him that same melt of anxiety he’d awarded her with earlier. her gaze dances between the sky and his eyes, he’s never changing. her friend, through everything. his stare, it was sad. cold. it might be hard for another to see that, he hid it well. but mika saw it. the agony these people caused him, it doesn’t leave you. like the stars.

their home, as broken and as fucked up as it was built up to be. was gone. it was gone forever. so why must the memories linger so? why the longing for a home of the past? why does she want to build something so desperately. is it the hiraeth that’s haunted her? is it the desire to prove something to her father who ran this cult before her? is it to give somewhere jojo can feel safe? to give levi somewhere to feel safe? is it to fulfil her own selfish hunger to inflict her her sorrow onto others?

mika’s loving eyes aren’t the same. there’s something bigger behind them, something dark. sinister. it’s a leading emotion, it’s hard to read but she isn’t the same. this place, it’s changing her. the air, the memories, the people, the leadership, god. her new relationship with him. it’s all building on her already fucked up state completely trapping her in a nonsensical way of thinking. but it’s for the greater good. she knows that. jojo knows that. as fucked up as this mentality is, she has people to care for. a purpose. a home. a chance to make things right. to fix things. to fix the mess she caused all those years ago.

#this is only PART 1 #. mika & jojo #. clych hollalluog #. mika #. self para #i didnt proof read #i dont have a levi tag

Kyuranger Avatar AU

This AU is basically Kyuranger's plot as if it took place in the Avatar setting. I already wrote what kind of bender the Kyus are in a previous post (Please read that one first). The rest of this post is continued under read more:

I imagine that the benders shown in the beginning of the Kyuranger Avatar AU version of the opening would be: Raptor (air) - Spada (water) - Champ (earth) - Lucky (fire)

Jark Matter has conquered most of the world while the Rebellion has been fighting them back while saving innocents and searching for the Avatar

Shortly after the Kyus meet Lucky and then Garu, they and whoever else were there find out that Lucky is the Avatar when he went into the Avatar State during a Jark Matter attack. Not even Lucky himself knew that he's the Avatar until that moment.

Lucky had probably already mastered firebending during his time on Luth (village instead of a planet). Lucky's bending teachers are going to be Raptor for air, Spada for water, and Champ (maybe with Stinger also helping?) for earth.

Would the Orion fit better as a ship or an airship?

If earthbending wrestling (like the one in Toph's first episode in Avatar) is still a thing, Champ has definitely held the title of Champion for many years. Once the whole Jark Matter thing is over, he will take back the Champion title.

The Kyus find the BN thieves in Republic City.

How would Lucky encounter the BN thieves?:

a.) Similar to canon, where he just sees them fight off Jark Matter soldiers

b.) Lucky gets caught up in the BN thieves' latest con or scheme and then they get attacked by Jark Matter soldiers

Avatar au version of Balance's wire things: metalbending cords that's probably similar to that of metalbender cops but with less range and more cords. They can cause electrical shocks.

Naga can bloodbend multiple people at once.

Since Naga is a waterbender with silver hair, I can't decide on whether or not he has any connection to the Moon Spirit (if he does, so does Echidna).

I have decided that Stinger is a sandbender. I don't know whether or not he also knows how to do regular earthbending (not like the Kyus spend a lot of time on deserts or beaches anyway). He doesn't necessarily have to since he and all the other Kyus are capable of fighting without their bending.

Should Stinger have a metallic whip/cord that can be controlled with metalbending? If yes, I don't know where he learned to metalbend (unless his clan also happens to specialize in metalbending despite living in the desert). These questions may or may not apply to Scorpio as well.

I still can't decide on whether Xiao is a bender or not. I also can't decide if he's from the Fire Nation or an Air Nomad:

Reason for him to be Fire Nation: Dragons are associated with firebending. Also, so Xiao can have a dragon buddy (Avatar au version of Ryu Voyager) who comes to his aid from time to time.

Reason for him to be Air Nomad: So Raptor wouldn't be the only Air Nomad on the team (Lucky's airbending teacher is still mainly Raptor regardless of whether Xiao's an airbender or not).

Kotaro's waterbending skill may not be anywhere near Spada and Naga's level but he's still advanced compared to other waterbenders his age. He mostly favors water whips and ice-based attacks in waterbending combat.

Ikagen and Madako are from the Water Tribe (which one? I don't know). Ikagen is a nonbender while Madako is a waterbender.

Eris is a swampbender who waterbends the plants around the swamp to scare intruders away (pretty much the same as what she does in canon I guess). The Kyus find her at that big tree (what's it called again?) in the middle of the swamp. Would she still have anything important that the Kyus need?

Where should the Argo be located at?:

a.) In the Spirit World

b.) Frozen underwater near one of the Water Tribes

If you go with option b for the Argo's location, here's a possible idea for the au version of Tsurugi's introduction: Lucky, Stinger, Champ, and Kotaro enter the mostly frozen interior of the Argo, they see a man frozen in ice ("Let's unfreeze him!!" "Wait, don't-"), Lucky and Kotaro use their bending to unfreeze him despite Champ and Stinger telling them not to do that. To everyone's surprise, the man is somehow still alive despite having been frozen for who knows how long.

Even though this au is very unlikely to have time travel, I still want there to be a version of that one episode where the Kyus see illusions of people from their past. I guess it would either take place in the Spirit World or in the swamp.

As a parallel to him being the prince of the Leo System in the show, Lucky is the prince of the Fire Nation in this au.

What other animal should Caesar be a mix of? Or would he be just a lion? Would Lucky leave Caesar behind on Luth until he returns (just like in canon) or would he bring him along on his journey?

That's all I got. What do you think? Any suggestions? I'll leave the rest to whoever wants to write or draw for this au.

BNHA self insert AU [Book 3]

New? Read here! Then here!

Chapter 3: You Want a Sprite Cranberry?

“Deep breath in” hold for 10 seconds “and breathe out” I tell myself in the mirror as I put my school uniform. It’s the first day of school! And I’m super nervous and not that excited. Just so much fear, gas and anxiety in my body that I clenched my booty cheeks the whole car ride there.

“You okay son?” Mom asked me concerned.

“Yeah! I just don’t know what to expect” I admitted “Any advice?”

“Be open to the unknown and be down to throw down!” she said so confidently “I would say to make friends, but it seems like you won’t have that problem.” She sighed “I envy you Iwa, you get to go to the same school as your best friend. I didn’t have all the resources you have now...my sweet little boy is going to be an agent!”

I look out the window to see the massive building that’s UA “I’ll do my best, because I learned from the best!”

“Oh I wouldn’t say that!” Mom scoffed as she pulled up to the drop off zone “Here’s your stop, go get em Iwata.”

I unclenched my butt cheeks “Okay, bye mom!”

I zoomed out of the car and past the school gates. I’m really out here, double cheeked up on the first day of school. Hella ass, the sun is still out.

“IWA!” yelled a familiar voice.

I turned around to see Beizu running toward me “BEI!”

He jumped into my arms “Are you as gassy as I am?!”

“Unfortunately but in a less excited context” I groaned.

“Eww” he broke his hug “wanna go find a bathroom to have a panic attack in?”

“I’m down” I started to walk along side him, then he looped his arm around mine “Hmm?”

“I wanna walk in together” he said with a smile “another first I get to do with you together!”

“Alright” I said without questioning it. It’s true that we do things together and it’s normal for us. Every now and then we get comments on it but they don’t bother us, we’re like brothers.

One mini panic attack in the bathroom later and we stroll in the agent 1-A class. Did I mention Beizu decided to be an agent too? It was funny, because we didn’t know we were in the same program until we showed our acceptance letters to each other. We share a brain-cell...which is dangerous because one of us has to come up with a plan and the other has to be rational. We got seats next to each other and waited for homeroom to start.

“Good morning class! Please take your seats” said a man in a gray jumpsuit with some patches on the arms “I am your intel 1-A teacher, Agent 40, but you can also call me Mr. Hansai.” The man opens his portfolio “I see a few familiar names on here.”

I whisper to Beizu “I wonder who he’s talking about?”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s the girl in the back?” Beizu whispered back.

“...It looks like everyone is here” he closes his roll call “I’m going to pass out your schedules, syllabus and protocols. I expect all of you to memorize and act upon the protocols, I will regularly test you throughout the year on them. Especially you, young Palma-kun.”

My blood runs cold “How do you-”

“You look just like your mom! Also we were in the same intel class” sensei explained “If you’re anything like her, you’d be studying up this protocols along with the hero ones for any discrepancies.”

“My mom was your classmate?” My eyes widen “WAIT! You’re part of the Main 5 her year, I recall the picture she showed me!”

“What’s so special about his mom?” scoffed one of the students “So what she was in the top 5?!”

“His mother is agent 19 of the Emperor’s Coup” sensei explained, the class gasped “She’s also a big donor to our school and noted alumni.”

I felt very on the spot, everyone’s eyes were on me. A mix of envy and curiosity within their faces. I refocused when I got my packet, and let me tell you, my schedule was PACKED! No free period whatsoever! Literally after lunch is all of my hero courses. Good thing I don’t need to take any general studies aside from math, never have I been so thankful that my mom was strict on me and my siblings to learn English and Spanish! But it also looks like I’m not skipping levels on subjects like my mom and uncle Jin. Wish I had that level of genius.

“Oof, that’s a lot of classes” cringed Beizu, glancing over at my desk “but at least we have until lunch together!”

“Yeah” I smirked, remembering all of our lunch shenanigans throughout the years “You have to tell me how the rest of your general ed classes go!”

After sensei goes over the syllabus and gives us time to look over things, a classmate comes up to my desk. Their stature towering me.

“You, prodigy child” they spoke “I have decided that you’ll be my rival!”

At first I was intimidated, but the moment they said ‘rival’, I tried not to throw up in my mouth. “Um, I haven’t done anything to-”

“I will prove to you that I, Garu Netsu, will be worthy of being Main 5!” he interrupted “Don’t think because your mother was the best, you’ll be the best!”

I stood up, clearly pissed off “HEY! First of all, I just learned how to use my quirks for the field like a year ago. Second of all, you watch too much anime because I don’t do rivals or that harem shit!” I squared up my shoulders “My mom is a wonderful lady and she didn’t raise me to be her prodigy! She raised me to be her son! So sit ya ass back down and pick somebody else because I will not be competing with any of you!”

“Fine, I’ll be sitting down” the classmate walks back to their desk “but you’re still going to be the one to beat.”

“And you’ll be horrendously disappointed” I retorted back, sitting back in my seat.

“Wow, it’s like looking into a time machine” sensei chuckled “Your mom always put challengers in their place verbally! Man, I wish I recorded some of her comebacks” he sighed “they were ICONIC!”

That fucked me up a little, am I like my mom? But it wasn’t the time to have an identity crisis! We had to suit up for weapons class.

“Eww, I look like my mom with my hair up like this huh?” I gagged at myself in the locker mirror.

“Same” sighed Beizu as he closed his locker to show his pulled back hair “we really need a haircut.”

“We should go this weekend” I suggested as we walked out of the locker room “Mom’s hair dresser comes back from maternity leave on Thursday.”

“Oh! What did she have?”

“She had a boy!” I gushed “Mom showed me pictures and they got their father’s scaly skin.”

We walked to the middle of the gym to wait for the weapons instructor. The anticipation was killing me!

“Wonder what we’ll do?” Beizu asked me “your mom and aunt Mimi said that they got to hold a gun on the first day.”

“It’s true” said a thick Russian accent from behind us “Good morning new comers! I am agent 20, but you can call me Master Oleshin.”

“AUNTY MIMI?!” Beizu and I screamed.

“AH babushkas! I couldn’t recognize you from the back” Mimi was taken back “You look so much like your mothers with your hair up like that.”

Beizu and I looked at each other and our faces turned red.

“You know them too?!” cried out a classmate.

“Yes, I was in the Main 5 with the curly haired mother and the pink haired one is my nephew” she walked over and pinched our cheeks “I watched them grow from little babies to the spitting image of their mothers! I’m so proud of my nephews for pursuing intelligence” she cried out as she hugged us aggressively “It’s like having the old team back together!”

“Tia, you’re embarrassing me” I groaned breathlessly “I can’t breathe.”

“I’m sorry that I love my nephews so much” she said as she put us down “But lets get things started!” she pulled out her gun “Weaponry is not just wielding a tool, but an extension of yourself. You may know about the popular ones like the gun, knife, bow and arrow & taser. But theres so many possibilities and situations where different weapons will come into play.” She cocked her gun “I’ve mastered weapons as a supplement of my quirk. If I can aim it, I won’t miss.” She aimed for a target mounted high up on the gym wall and her shot hit the bullseye “The goal is to be more knowledgable and comfortable wielding a variety of weapons for combat. And I want you to find a personal goal for this class, whether it’s accuracy or double wielding, having one will help you in the long run of your agent career.”

Holding a gun with aunty Mimi giving me instruction felt unreal. I didn’t know she taught! It’s her first time teaching, apparently she wanted to come back to UA to teach since she was a 1st year here. To think that my mom, uncle Jin and aunty Mimi met and trained together in this very place?! I wish I could’ve seen them first meeting or seen my mom hold a gun for the first time. Last time I saw her hold one was the night of the incident...where she drew her gun at the home invader. The look on her face was something I couldn’t understand, and I still don’t understand it...but I want to someday. This line of work is drawing me in with wanting to understand why my parents are so passionate about it. BUT ENOUGH OF THAT! I glossed through the rest of the first half of my day, dreading the second half when lunch was almost over.

“Excited?” asked Beizu as he took a cheeto from my almost empty bag.

“More like loathing what’s next” I prop my head on my hand, watching Beizu crunch on cheetos “heard that hero students are really intense.”

“Lets see if you make a friend” snickered Beizu “it worked out for your mom and Lili.”

It clicked what he was trying to say “Shut up!” I playfully shoved him “I’m not finding my significant other in the hero program. Why think about dating if you have a schedule like mine?!”

“True” the bell rang “Better get a move on.”

“Yeah...OH SHIT!” I start to pack up my lunch stuff when it dawned on me “I forgot my bag in homeroom!” I hurried inside the building to get my things and try not to be too late. It’s times like these I wish I had the teleportation quirk and not bitch ass Tensei! But I slow my pace to catch my breath once I got to the correct hall. This is it, I’m in this bitch and open to whatever comes next! I get to the door that said 1-A on it, did my breathing exercise and forced myself to open the door. I saw everyone stare at me and the teacher was Mr Mineta. “Oops my bad, wrong classroom!” I slammed the door and walked the rest of the hall to my horror to see that I did open the right door! “It’s occurred to me that this is the correct classroom” I said as I opened the door “apologies for the intrusion!”

“Not a problem!” said Mr Mineta “would you like to introduce yourself?”

“Oh uhhhh sure” I hesitated a bit going up to the front and looking at everyones confused faces “Hewwo! My name is Iwata El Roca Iida, I’m doing dual program of Intelligence and Hero. Both of my parents went here! They were in the same class as Diaper Boy here.”

“For the last time! It’s Grape Juice or Mr Mineta” yelled the short man “It was bad enough your sister called me that during her time” he rubbed his temples “continue, please.”

“Okay, like Diaper Man here said, my older sister was in the hero program too. I’m not trying to follow in anyone’s footsteps, and I hope I can be useful to you in practice” I bowed “Please don’t mind my eccentric personality, I’m just very comfortable being myself.”

“Thank you Iwata, you can sit next to Kage-san” he pointed to the side desks where someone was waving their hand. “I’ll be right back class, I have to make a few copies for Iwata.”

The moment sensei closed the door everyone turned their heads to face me. Not gonna lie, they looked scary. Pretty sure mom handled the first day better than this.

“So like, is it true that you’re the son of Ingenium?!” asked the girl that sat in front of me.

“Yes! How did you-”

“Which one?” asked a different classmate.

“The leg engine one” I knew what they meant but that’s what came out of my mouth.

“Little brother Ingenium?!” gasped the girl in front of me “I didn’t know he had children?!”

“Well, he’s not the most popular hero on the list” I cut in “and he just keeps to himself when he’s working, so of course you don’t know about the family.”

“You don’t look like him, like at all!” said different classmate, getting all up in my face “bet your dad trained you from a young age to get into UA!”

“Ummm my mom trained me” I backed my face away “I have her quirk and my other quirk is unique to the Iida family engine quirk that he couldn’t train me. So I just taught myself?”

“Must be nice to be blessed with two quirks and parents that can help you train” grumbled a student facing away from everyone else.

“Gen-kun! Don’t be so mean” said Kage-san “ignore him, he’s just having a rough first day.”

“I feel you on that” I responded “all this attention has me a little flustered! I’m not used to everyone swarming me like this.”

I finish the rest of the day and meet up with Beizu at the drop off area. I tell him about my first encounter while waiting for my mom to pick us up.

“Oh! So you know the first project for our class right?” Beizu suddenly remembered.

“Yeah, the one due at the end of the first semester” I recall “what about it?”

“So I thought of what to do” Beizu got giddy “I know it’s like 2 weeks away from getting into groups or whatever BUT I wanna get started on it.”

“Is it going to top your other inventions?”

“TOTALLY! Now that I’m free to use whatever and not be limited to wood rigging, everything is going to look like child’s play!”

“I believe it” I said right before my mom arrived.

After dropping Beizu home, I came home to tell my parents about my day. Hiding the fact that I’m in both, I fibbed what I did the second half of the day. Tensei saw right through me, but didn’t say anything to my relief. Wonder what tomorrow will bring?

-The next day, in the hero classroom-

I just sat my ass down for class and sensei had the AUDACITY to say that we had to go to the gym. Mega annoying! Especially since the intel locker rooms are separate from the hero locker rooms. Wonder if I can have a hero one? Is that allowed? Gotta ask later.

“Why are your training clothes different from ours?” asked Kage-san.

I deadpanned to them and put my arms up “Can’t use my quirk if I have sleeves.”

“Wow...you’re RIPPED BRO!” yelled a different classmate “we gotta train together sometime!”

I blush hard and put my arms down “Oh ummm thanks?” I didn’t know what to say, nobody has said anything about my physic like that.

“Okay! Time for spars!” sensei announced as he clicked his pen “Throughout the year, we’ll have these spars to see how your quirk and combat skills develop. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t win your round, there’s always opportunities to improve” he checks his clipboard “Mr Iida your up first with...Gon-san.”

I walk to the sparring circle, trying to hide the fact that I’m nervous. When I faced my opponent, my entire stomach dropped to my ass because it was the guy that said I was ripped.

“ALRIGHT! I get to see what those engines can do!”

“Ready?” sensei asked, waiting for us to get into position “you may BEGIN!”

Focus...breathe...don’t lose sight of your opponent... I said to myself as I cautiously circled him. He mirrored me and it didn’t help me...unless that was his quirk? To test this, I slapped myself to see if he’d do the same.

“OUCH” yelped Gon-san after slapping himself “How did you-”

“AHA!” I exclaimed before I stood still and levitated him “The scientific method never fails!”

I heard the class gasp in shock, not expecting me to have two quirks. No matter, I tossed him out of bounds and won in less than a minute.

“Winner is Iida-kun” Mineta scribbled on his clipboard “Not surprised, that telekinesis is a real whammy! Glad to see you got your mom’s strategy skills too.”

“Thank you sensei” I turn to my opponent “Are you okay?!”

“Yea, I’m fine” he said shocked “I- I wasn’t expecting you to catch on so quickly!”

I felt his voice quivering like he feared me, oof I fucked up huh? “I got a little overboard, I’m sorry I did a whole show of things. I’m new to this whole thing” I extended my hand out to help him up “swear I’m not usually like this!”

“Why are you apologizing?” He stood up and gave me the biggest starstruck look “THAT WAS AMAZING! What quirk is that?! We HAVE to train sometime!”

“Yeah! Is that your mom’s quirk?” said another classmate.

“What a unique spread of quirks! You can do anything without lifting a finger!” said another.

I stood there, blushing like a dumbass because of how praising everyone was. For once, I felt like my own person. “Aww shucks y’all” I managed to utter “you really know how to make somebody blush, it was nothing fancy.”

We continued the spars and I was really feeling accepted into the program until it was time to change. I headed toward the intel locker rooms when I felt my body freeze.

“Hey, prodigy child” spat a hateful voice behind me “You are nothing but a privileged, rich boy that doesn’t know the struggle.”

The person showed himself to me, it was that one classmate that grumbled on the first day “It’s you?! Why are you picking on me? I never bad mouthed you.”

“People like you make me sick! You were born into money and blessed with two quirks with parents that support you” he mocked “I had to fight and struggle to get here! Barely making it in. I didn’t see you at the entrance exam and from the way you carried yourself in that fight, you’re unskilled too.”

“I never said I was good, I’m still learning and that’s why I’m here, to learn just like you” I growled, losing my temper “Don’t think for a second I’m trying to de-mean you! Go ahead, throw me your best shot!” I dared him “You have me in your clutches and nobody is watching, isn’t that what you wanted to do?!”

That agitated him “What do you take me for?! I’m not the villain here” he held his fist up, winding up his punch “YOU ARE!”

I closed my eyes, waiting his punch. Instead he gets stopped by Midnight right before his fist reaches my face.

“That is enough!” Midnight said sternly “I don’t know what’s going on here but it’s not okay to hurt your classmate like this!”

“Aunty Midnight?” I gasped.

“How many teachers do you know here?!” snarled the classmate.

“Release him! There’s no point in struggling.” She demanded and seeing that the classmate was caught, he dropped his quirk and put his arm down “I’ll be talking to you later, change and go to class.”

I watch him walk away, still fuming, into the hero locker room. I turn to Midnight “Thanks for the save aunty.”

“No problem kiddo!” she smiled as she ruffled my hair “you got lucky, I was passing by to check on a different student. But are you alright?”

“I am, but that guy” I sighed “he’s right though, I am privileged and I don’t deserve to be here.”

“Don’t say that Iwata, we wouldn’t let you do two programs if we didn’t think you were capable” assured Midnight “you’re brilliant and have the potential to be very powerful in whatever field you choose. Like you said, you’re still learning.”

I was still having doubts but I wanted the conversation to be over “Thanks for that aunty, guess I should hurry and change.”

“Get a move on, I’ll get your sensei know what happened later” she said as she waved me off.

The rest of the day was tense. I felt his sharp gaze from across the room, making me feel uneasy. Pretty sure mom never had to deal with things like this! When I finally got home, I threw myself onto my bed to scream into my sheets.

“Rough day?” asked Tensei from his bed “because same.”

“What happened to you?”

“Lost my debate today because somebody played the ‘quirk inequality’ card and I didn’t have right to argue it because of my social standing as a double wielder” he said in a way that sounded very matter-o-factly “and you?”

“I made an enemy with one of my hero classmates” I groaned “all because I used my telekinesis in a spar and it triggered him to confront me when I went to go change. Apparently I’m just some privileged rich boy that was born lucky and I don’t know a single thing about the struggle.”

“Ouch, what a douchebag” cringed Tensei “like you’ve struggled with a lot! Who cares about if you came from money or not? You’re there to learn.”

“That’s what I said! But I got so mad that I egged him on to hit me” I flipped onto my back “but aunty Midnight came in for the save so I got spared.”

“Fuck, you almost got into your first fight” Tensei said as he sat up and crossed his arms “As someone who had their fair share of school fights out of self defense, you had the right to take the first hit!”

“I couldn’t even if I wanted to” I sighed and rubbed my face “I’m just trying to skate by and be chill with everyone. But of course they have to fucking bring out my Latina side and get me mad.”

“Curse the Latina rage!”

“Why don’t you just say my name huh?!” Hanaka busted into our room.

“We weren’t talking about you!” Tensei and I yelled.

The days kept rolling in and I was trying my best to be neutral with everybody. Training on my own on the weekends and busting my ass on the mountain of homework I get assigned. Wonder how my parents did this shit? Everyone says they were smart kids...wonder why that trait didn’t pass onto me and got absorbed by bitch ass Tensei. Literally, that boy has a high IQ and has perfect grades, yet he looks like the textbook definition of a punk. If you googled punk and clicked on images, he looks like the first image but with natural blue hair. Do it, it’s stupidly accurate!

-Fast forward...Thursday, intel homeroom-

It’s one month into this bitch and we just got paired into our semester project partners. To nobody’s surprise, I got Beizu.

“Can’t wait to show you what I made!” whispered Beizu.

“You already made it?” I whispered back.

Beizu nodded vigorously “Yea! I couldn’t wait and I got ahead of myself” he tapped his hands on the desk “Meet me at the tranquility garden after school, so I can show you it.”

I was surprised that he did that and wanted to show me. He rarely finishes his inventions this quickly! After school I rush over to the garden, knowing he was probably already there.

“I’m here!” I panted as I screeched to a halt.

“Great! Okay, here it is!” he said as he pulled out a cube from his backpack.

I take a closer look “It’s a...puzzle cube?”

“It’s not! Well... the outside is, I had to find a vessel that was just the right size so I gutted this puzzle cube I got at the 100 yen store” he explained “It’s a time-peekaboo machine! I figured out how to glance into the past without quirks, by accident of course! Who knew that making an energy blaster was five faulty connects away from making this?!”

“How do you know it works?”

“Well, I was at home alone when I was making and testing this” Beizu’s tone got a little sad “I fired the thing and I instead got a holographic but low quality environment of the room I was in but from years ago! I saw my dad working on something and I knew it was him! He had the same quirk as me” his voice got a little shakey “And my mom walked into the room but it was the past her, and I got startled because she said ‘Bei, come have some dinner’ and my dad looked up and said ‘coming!’. Iwa, I was named after him! My mom never talked about him to me, not even a picture!”

“Why would she hide pictures of your dad?” I raised suspicion “He’s your dad!”

“I thought that was weird too! But then the connection of that moment fizzled away, so I kept working on this until the images lasted longer and in better quality” Beizu looked into my eyes “I want to know the truth about my dad, I always felt a part of me was missing growing up. I’m not saying my mom is a liar but maybe this is something that needs to be confronted?”

I’ve never seen him so determined like this, it gave me courage to help him “I’ll help you in any way I can!” I put my hand on top of the cube “So how does it work?”

“I just press the button here and the hologram shows up” Beizu refocused back to the cube “I’m not sure how far back it goes, maybe to when we weren’t born yet?”

“Only one way to find out!” I said as I slammed my finger down on the button “YEET!” I saw the garden around us disappear except for this one tree and it stunned me.

“Wow this whole field area was so...boring and plain looking” said Beizu, looking around.

I scanned the area and caught sight of someone sitting at the roots of the tree “Who is that?” I took a closer look and saw it was two people “Oh, it looks like they’re having lunch?”

“What are they saying?” Beizu asked as he got silent to listen in and I did the same.

“...You didn’t have to make me anything!”

“I insist!...All just for you!”

“Why do they sound...familiar?” I said to myself as I clocked the voices but not the faces.

“Oh my god it’s like I’m back home!...”

“...I just wanted to do something nice for you, you bring me peace during these scary times.”

“Ooh! It’s one of those lunches!” Beizu commented “Gosh I wish I knew what year this was!”

“Shh! I want to hear what the guy is saying” I shushed, straining to hear.

“...And honestly, I haven’t felt like that since I got here but you helped me remind myself of the one thing that defines me. Thank you Iida-san.”

“Call me Tenya.”

“Ok then, Tenya, thank you for making me feel cherished and myself again.”

“No, thank you Ita!”

I went pale “Those...those are my parents?!” the moment I said that, the image fizzled and the garden reappeared.

“Ahhh! I can’t believe it!” squealed Beizu “We glanced at the beginning of your parent’s love story! This has to be like, what, 27 years ago?”

“Maybe? I don’t know” I was still in shock “she looked so small compared to him! But she looks different than I expected.”

“What do you mean?”

“Like, she looks...sad and shy” I said with concern “What happened to her? She doesn’t give off that sassy and cool energy like everyone tells me, I want to give her a hug and wrap her in a blanket!”

“Well, she was with your dad” Beizu commented “maybe she was dropping the act because she’s comfortable around him? He did make her lunch.”

“Hmmm, I don’t know what to think” I pondered “but that was quite the trial run! Maybe tweak it so we can see into different times? Like adding a clock we can set to a certain date to look at?”

“Ooh! I know what to do!” Beizu took out his phone to record himself “note to self: add a calendar setting to the cube.”

That scene of my parents fucked me up harder than I thought once I got home. Looking at my dad and how truly committed he is to my mom. 27-ish years and going strong! Wonder what’s that secret formula. But on the other hand, why was my mom so sad in the past? And what ‘healed’ her? And why is Beizu being held back information about his dad? Somethings not adding up, hopefully it’s not a mess of other interconnected shit...the fuck you think this is? A shonen manga?!

Persona 4 Golden X FeMC!Reader

———————————————————————————————————–

04/20/WED-Lunch Break | School Roof "... so what I'm asking is-please help me get rid of her..." Chie whined as she finished her story. Next to her is her Persona, standing ruggedly next to her. She had long flowing hair kind of like Yukiko's (who you all really need to save right now), a strange white helmet that has a red lips design at the mouth and a yellow jumpsuit that really completes the female Bruce Lee look. A naginata was strapped onto her back as her white combat boots were firmly planted on the floor.

"So you're Chie's Persona, huh?" You said. "Nice to meet you. I'm (Last Name)(First name). This is my Persona, Izanami."

Izanami nodded. "It is nice to meet you."

She eyed you both warily until she nodded. "Likewise. I am Tomoe, Chie-san's Persona."

“He-hey... We got a new chick on our team." Jiraiya sauntered over. "I'm Jiraiya, Tomoe-chan. And let me just say that don't you look just absolutely-OWW!!!" Jiraiya exclaimed when he got hit by Tomoe's naginata.

"I do not tolerate men such as yourself." Tomoe spat.

"And of course being a Amazon-like warrior you have a distaste for men." You deadpanned.

"Just tell me how to get rid of her! I can't stand a person living in my house that watches me like some creepy stalker!" Chie exclaimed.

"No can do, Chie. You can't get rid of her. She's your Persona whether you like it or not." Yosuke said, ignoring Jiraiya's whimpers. Chie cried in exasperation and clutched her head.

"Please do not feel sad by all of this, Chie-san. No one can see us besides our owners so at least no one will question Tomoe." Izanami said, comforting Chie. After a minute of depressed noises, Chie took in a deep breath and smiled widely.

"AAAAAALLLL RIGHT! Now that I have a Persona like you guys, we can finally save Yukiko, right?"

Yosuke nodded. "Right after school, we'll all go to Junes and finally save Yukiko."

The three of you nodded, all determined to save Yukiko.

04/20/WED-After School | Castle Floor 4

"Bufu!" Tomoe unleashed a blizzard that froze the Shadows.

"Cleave!" You crushed your card and Izanami sliced the Shadows, turning them into black mass.

"Alright. It's nice to watch the ladies do all the dirty work." Jiraiya purred.

You sensed Tomoe's urge to run her spear through him and waved your hands in order to calm her down. "Don't worry. He's always like this." It worked but she didn't cease her murderous glare. You said to your teammates to go further. The Shadows were mildly easier to defeat thanks to the ice skill that Tomoe has. And you picked up some items for your team to wear to increase their stats and having a lot of materials to sell to Daidara.

"Teddie, how much farther till we see the stairs?" You called out.

A moment of silence ensued. "It's very close! I can smell it from here! It's just past by that-"

The four of you stopped to see more Shadows. And majority of it were the tongue ones.

"-swarm of Shadows." Teddie whimpered.

"Why only the tongue ones, though...?" You whispered to yourself.

"Whatever! We'll just plow through! Let's go Tomoe!" Chie ran up ahead with Tomoe following. You opened your mouth to say something but Yosuke beat you to it.

"HEY! What happened to not going off alone!?"

You patted his shoulder. "Let's just catch up to her." He sighed and readied his knives while you got your naginata. 04/20/WED-After School | Castle Floor 5 "Guys, I can sense somebody here! I think it may be Yukiko!" Teddie said. Chie instantly stopped and turned to Teddie, eyes full of hope.

"She's here!? Where is she!?" Chie exclaimed.

"Calm down, Chie." Yosuke said calmly. "We'll find her. Just stick close, okay?"

With a steady breath, you placed your palms flat against the door and pushed it open. The huge room held space for the svelte form of Yukiko and a large Shadow: a knight on top of the metal ghost of a horse.

Shadow Yukiko chuckled. “Surely my Prince wouldn’t lose to guards such as this?”

“I-It’s attacking us!” Teddie whimpered. The form of Yukiko disappeared soon afterward, leaving your group to fend against the tall Shadow. It raised its massive lance and charged at you. You dodged by rolling to the side, breaking the card as you summoned Valkyrie.

“Everybody, keep moving!” You called out. “Cleave!”

The woman slashed her swords at the Shadow however it was blocked by the large lance. From the other side Chie summoned Tomoe, brandishing her naginata to swing at its blind side. Metal clanged against the armor painfully as the sound bounced across the room.

“Garu!” Yosuke called out, Jiraiya summoning a strong gust of wind. It rattled against the chain mail but it appears it didn’t do much.

“That’s not it’s weakness,” Teddie yelled from afar, “try something else!”

You changed your Persona, opting for Ukobach instead as Tomoe continued her onslaught.

“Agi!” You called out, the little demon flinging its spoon to throw fire at the Shadow. The flames caught on the clothed parts of the Shadow, making it panic and buck around.

“That’s its weakness! Nice going sensei!” Teddie commentated. “Hit it while its panicking!”

“Give it your all!” You commanded, summoning back Izanami as your group dished out everything they had at the Shadow. It’s armor moaned pathetically, the knight body drooping pathetically.

“Finish it, Izanami!”

Your Persona advanced, twirling her naginata as she impaled it directly at the knight’s body, piercing until it went through the horse’s underside. The Shadow shook violently until it disappeared from existence. From the dark mass, a single glass key dropped on the carpet.

The cold chuckling of Shadow Yukiko rang through the castle. “If you really are my prince, then we will surely meet again. I am a trapped soul... I cannot leave this place even if I wished...” And thus ended with another chuckle.

“I...” Teddie said after the chuckling. “Don’t sense her anymore.”

He suddenly gasped, his paw grasping your arm. “Are you hurt, Sensei? I’m sure we’ve got a long ways to go so don’t push yourself too hard!”

You patted his paw. “I’m fine. Let’s keep moving. The faster we move, the better chances of finding Yukiko.”

Tomoe sheathed her own spear. “I agree. Chie-san, please consider the proposition.”

Chie stretched her legs which were slightly littered in nicks. “Fine. Let’s keep moving.”

Exiting the empty room, your group continued the exploration of the castle. The only noises were your footsteps, the Personas bickering, or the voices of the castle that seemed to torture the castle ruler. After climbing another set of stairs you immediately see a golden hand walking aimlessly at the far end of the corridor.

“Teddie, what’s that?” You asked the bear.

“It’s a rare one!” He exclaimed. “Go after it!”

“I’m on it!” Jiraiya responded, drawing his ninja stars and ran towards the hand. He slashed at it but the golden hand was resilient and ran off.

“Leave it, Jiraiya.” Tomoe stated. “It’s not worth our time.”

And with that, your group continued once more, this time Jiraiya mumbling how his ‘easy cash’ got away.

“I’ve met women like you, Tomoe-chan—AAAAAGH!”

“Shut it, frog.”

“You didn’t let me finish, woman!”

“Yosuke, tell Jiraiya to step off!” Chie defended.

“What!?” Yosuke wailed. “It’s your Persona that makes mine a personal punching bag!”

“To be fair,” Tomoe stated, “this frog never stops with the puns. Together with Teddie.”

“Hey, my puns aren’t that un-bear-able.” Jiraiya joked as Teddie snickered.

“Guys!” Izanami interjected in their argument, “Would you please stop your bickering? (Name) can’t concentrate without your voices annoying her!”

“It’s true.” You added, dusting off the fallen materials from the defeated Shadow. “I’ve been keeping it in for like the past few floors. I’ve been letting it out on the Shadows instead in hopes of not scaring you all.”

“O-Oh sorry, (Name)...” Chie apologized meekly.

Then it was Yosuke. “Sorry, partner.”

Then Tomoe. “I also apologize, Izanami and (Name).”

Finally Jiraiya. “Sorry about that.”

“Okay...” You breathed out, slightly better that the noises are gone. “How much do we have to cover, Teddie?”

The bear sniffed the air. “I can smell her. She’s not that far!”

“Good.” Izanami said. “Let’s keep going.”

Your group trudged onward, however not noticing that your respective Personas slowed down to the back.

“Isn’t it weird that Teddie can see us?” Jiraiya asked Izanami.

“Well...” The goddess started. “He is an entirely different species from us, so it’s plausible that those of his kind might see us.”

“I, however, think that it’s a useful ability.” Tomoe declared. “It makes things easier for us to communicate.”

04/20/WED-After School | Castle Floor 8

“There she is.” You stated, eyeing the room to see two Yukiko’s; one in a pink kimono and one in a pink ball gown.

“Oh?” Shadow Yukiko mused. “My goodness... Three princes here to see me? Oh how I’ve wished to take a better look at you.”

“Well then,” Jiraiya purred, “she definitely knows a way to a man’s heart.”

“She can’t see us, you idiot.” Tomoe snarled.

“Then did she include (Name)?” Izanami added.

“It’s getting awfully crowded in here.” Shadow Yukiko stated. “Why don’t you and I go somewhere else...? A land far, far way... where no one knows me...”

The entity bent her upper torso, showing a slight bit of cleavage as she grinned. “If you’re my prince you’d take me there, won’t you? C’mon... pretty please?”

“I volunteer Yosuke as tribute.” Jiraiya proclaimed, raising his hand.

“Shut up!” Yosuke fumed.

“Wait, she said three princes?” Chie said to herself. “Does that include me and (Name)?”

“She obviously meant me!” Teddie yelled from behind.

“That doesn’t explain me though.” You commented.

“Through logic... she is including Chie and (Name). Don’t you dare make a comment about that, Jiraiya.” Tomoe threatened.

“I have like 10,000 comments about that, woman.”

“Chie...” Shadow Yukiko giggled. “Yes... she’s my prince.”

“50,000 comments now.”

“She always leads the way... Chie’s a strong prince.”

“100,000 comments and rising.”

“Jiraiya!” Izanami yelled.

“Fine... just a 100,000.”

“Or at least she was.” She grumbled. “When it comes right down to it, Chie’s not good enough! She can’t take me away from here! She can’t save me!”

“Save her?” You questioned. “Save her from what?”

“Historic inn? Manager-in-training!?” Shadow Yukiko barked at her other self. “I’m sick of all these things chaining me down! I never asked to be born here! Everything’s been decided for me! From how I live to where I die!”

The entity clutched her head in despair, the memories of what she had said were clearly affecting her so hard. “I’m so sick of it! To hell with it all!”

“She’s so distraught...” Izanami said forlornly.

“I just want to go somewhere far away...” She muttered. “Anywhere but here.”

“Stop...” The real Yukiko whispered. “Please stop...”

“I have no hope if I stay and no courage to leave. So I sit on my ass, hoping that someday that my prince will come. I don’t care where we go!” Shadow Yukiko screamed, posture losing the princess stance to a more deranged pose. “Anywhere is fine! As long as it’s not here, I don’t give a damn!” Her lips rose to a delirious grin as she sneered at her other self. “Historical tradition? Pride of the town!? What a bunch of bullshit!”

At this point, the real Yukiko shot up her head. “How dare you...!”

Izanami called your name. “This is bad. If this continues then...!”

You grit your teeth. “I know!”

“Isn’t that right... me?” Shadow Yukiko said with finality.

Yukiko, the frail-looking girl that you saw at the floodplain, rose up in absolute defiance at her other self. “N-No! You’re not me!”

Crap, you thought.

The other her started giggling which slowly led to maniacal laughter as she hugged her sides, making her breasts squeeze together. Black smoke started to surround her as she continued to laugh.

“This wonderful feeling!” She said gleefully, pausing from her laughter. “If this keeps up, I’ll... I’ll...”

She never got to finish her sentence for the smoke that surrounded her finally swallowed her whole, making her disappear. A clanging sound was heard from above as you looked up and gasped: a giant metal cage and what was inside was a giant red bird with the head of Yukiko. The cage fell to the floor with a cacophony of metal screeching against the ceramic floor.

With the immense force from the fall of the cage, Yukiko was blown away until she was behind your group. Teddie immediately ran towards her, dragging her far away from the monster.

“I am the Shadow... The true self...” The beast said, raising a wing to its chin. “Now my prince, why don’t we dance and make merry together?”

“Teddie!” You called out to the bear. “Keep her safe, alright? We’ll handle things from here!”

“You got it, sensei!” He replied back.

With the tarot card before you, you crushed it in your palm before calling out, “Rakunda!”

A purple wave surrounded the bird. “Chie, Yosuke! Go now!”

“Garu!” Yosuke chanted, casting a gust of green wind at the bird.

“Skewer!” Chie yelled, Tomoe thrusting her spear forward at the Shadow. Once the attacks connected, you called out to them to immediately back up. Surprisingly, the attacks didn’t look like it scratched the bird.

“It didn’t even leave a mark!?” Chie gasped.

Shadow Yukiko chuckled. “We’re not done yet... Show me this strength of yours. Come my prince!”

A lone spotlight shone beside the beast. A small, almost comical looking prince Shadow brandished a sword at your group.

“The hell!?” Jiraiya questioned loudly. “If you could summon your own prince then why complain to us!?”

“Focus, Jiraiya!” Izanami yelled. “(Name), let’s go!”

You nodded, running towards the smaller Shadow together with your Persona. Once you two were near sword length, you quickly sidestepped to its blind spot as Izanami took the front. With the Shadow blocking Izanami’s attack, you took your chance to swing your naginata at the Shadow. The blade tore through the body, dark mass spilling out like liquid from the open wound.

“Yosuke, I’m leaving you to take care of the other one!” You shouted to the orange-haired boy. “Don’t let me down!”

“You got it, partner!” He yelled back. With newfound vigor due to your praise, he twirled his knives as he chanted out a wind spell. Jiraiya surged forward, using the wind to spin the chain connected on top of the cage. With Shadow Yukiko disoriented, he slammed his foot on the head of the bird as it went inside the cage, its head hanging outside the door.

“All yours, woman!” Jiraiya yelled out.

“Chie! Let’s go!” Tomoe said in affirmation.

“Alright-y!” Chie yelled, taking a running start towards the disoriented Shadow. The girl drop-kicked the cage door which slammed against the neck of the bird. Tomoe, with one foot planted on the ground, lifted her leg then continuously kicked the door, it slamming over and over against Shadow Yukiko.

“Keep it up, Tomoe!” Teddie yelled over the distance. “You’re doing a lot of damage!”

After the onslaught of kicks, Jiraiya jumped off from the cage and used another wind spell, now just being overkill. You smiled tiredly at the teamwork of your friends, momentarily lowering your guard.

“Sensei! Look out!”

You gasped as Izanami pushed you away but it was too late; the sword pierced through the surface of your left thigh, leaving a nasty scar that bled quite a bit. You let out a pained scream at the wound, using your weapon as a crutch.

“Dia!” Yosuke chanted, a pale green light shining down above you as you immediately felt the wound closing up and the pain ebbing away.

“Thanks, Yosuke-kun.” You said to him, grinning but frowning too quickly. “But isn’t that the last of your S.P.?”

He was in the same state as before you fought Shadow Chie; skin becoming too pale and already drenched in a cold sweat. However, he wore his usual smile, the one that made you relieve yet worried at the same time.

“I’m fine, leader! Don’t mind me.”

“Heal up, Yosuke. Don’t waste anymore S.P.” You ordered before tossing him a bottle to recover his S.P. “Let’s go, Forneus! Bufu!”

The manta ray Persona delivered a block of ice towards the prince, making it topple down.

“Ice is it’s weakness!” Teddie yelled. “Keep at it!”

“Chie!” You called out.

“I’m on it!” The girl replied, smashing her tarot card with her foot. “Bufu!”

Tomoe twirled her spear, blocks of ice starting to be pelted at the Shadow. The blocks made each part of its body disappear, now soon disappearing into nothingness.

“Got ‘im!” Jiraiya said.

“What? Are you trying to make me mad?” Shadow Yukiko called out, recovering from her dizziness. “That’s not how it’s supposed to work, you have to escort me!”

The bird flew out of her cage, brandishing her talons to scratch Tomoe. Luckily she dodged just in the nick of time. Suddenly, Shadow Yukiko flew upwards and spread her wings out and soon flames started licking up the whole area. Both Chie and Tomoe were mostly affected by it since they’re so close.

“Chie-san—” Tomoe started but stopped to wince. “Curse my weakness! Are you all right?”

Chie coughed from the smoke. “It’s okay! I’m fine, just tired.”

“Hmph, it looks like I had the wrong idea.” Shadow Yukiko stated, “You’re no princes... die, you worthless commoners!”

Suddenly a large, overly decorative chandelier fell down from the ceiling and was about to fall directly on the two girls.

“CHIE! TOMOE! MOVE!” Yosuke screamed as he scrambled to protect them. You ran as fast as you could, your leg still not fully recovered. “Valkyrie!”

Forneus quickly changed into the woman on horseback. You hopped onto her horse as it galloped to block the chandelier with her two swords. However, you miscalculated the weight and force of the chandelier as it dropped on you and Valkyrie instead, the metal digging on your skin as you screamed in pain.

“(Name)!”

“Sensei!”

You didn’t know who called your name. The chandelier was insanely heavy on your body and it was hard to breathe every time. It didn’t help as well when the whole room was on fire as well. Shadow Yukiko laughed, bringing her wing to her chin.

“Like I said: worthless.”

“Hang on, partner! I got you!” Yosuke reassured, his tarot card appearing in front of him.

“Leave us!” The beast shrieked, sending down another wave of flames at the boy.

“Garu!” He chanted, a gust of green wind blowing away the fire as Yosuke and Jiraiya crouched near you and Valkyrie. You changed your Persona to Izanami, hoping to have her help but you realized that didn’t really help.

You coughed out some blood. “Yosuke...”

“Stop talking,” Jiraiya said, voice suddenly stern, “breathe in and out deeply. Don’t try to move so much.”

Yosuke’s eyes widened at his Persona, completely blown off by his attitude change. “Jiraiya?”

“Yosuke, grasp that part of the chandelier.” The Persona ordered, his own hands grasping the other side where Izanami was. “On three.”

“Chie!” Yosuke called out to the girl. “Sorry for this but you’re on your own for a little bit!”

“I understand!” She replied back, summoning her tarot card as she and Tomoe attacked the beast.

“1...” Jiraiya counted. “2... 3!”

Both he and Yosuke lifted the chandelier. With the small space you have, you quickly crawled out with Izanami following. Once you two got out, the two males immediately dropped the chandelier. Yosuke helped you up, holding you closely against himself. Jiraiya did the same for Izanami but she gently pushed him away.

“Oh, that’s how you treat your hero?” He accused.

“I don’t need your sass right now, Jiraiya.“ Izanami huffed, swinging her arms to loosen out the stress. “More importantly, we’re still not done.”

“I know.” You breathed out. “Let’s go back. I have a plan.”

“You sure, (Name)?” Yosuke questioned. You nodded.

“Just follow my lead.”

You crushed your tarot card, Izanami’s blade glowing brightly as she cleaved the bird. She dodged but Izanami continued her attack. The bird had to fly away from her cage.

“Tomoe, cut the chain off the cage!”

“Go, Tomoe!” Chie ordered, her Persona immediately cutting off the chain, dropping the cage with the door open.

“Jiraiya—”

“I got this!” He interrupted you. He ran to the cage and grabbed it with both hands.

“Ice her, Tomoe! Bufu!”

The warrior twirled her blade, ice shooting up to meet the wings of Shadow Yukiko. The ice that formed across her wings weight them down heavily as she fell down right inside her own cage. Jiraiya closed the door up, bending the bars in order to lock it.

“The bird is successfully caught!”

“Let me out, you commoners!” Shadow Yukiko screeched.

“IZANAMI!” You shouted.

“ZIO!”

Her blade danced with electricity as she dived her blade straight at through the space from the cage and pierced Shadow Yukiko. She screeched like a banshee, flailing inside the cage. Together with the metal conducting the electricity, it made it even more painful for her. After the electric session, the bird twitched from the volts and then stopped moving. Izanami lifted her naginata off the bird’s chest as the body, cage, and flames disappeared in black mist.

“Great idea, (Name). Using her own cage as a weapon.” Your Persona commended.

“Yeah,” Jiraiya started, “that plan was really shocking to say the least.”

Tomoe groaned. “That was horrible... But I’m spent to deal with your antics.”

“You guys did it!” Teddie called out from the back. “I knew you could do it!”

“You just stood back there and called out stuff that we were pretty sure we could figure out ourselves.” Yosuke said to him, annoyed.

“It’s because I can’t fight like you guys! Don’t blame me...” Teddie rebutted but slowly trailed off at the end. A groan made your group turn to see Yukiko’s form slowly waking up.

“Yukiko!” Chie cried out, running towards her best friend. You and Yosuke followed, surrounding Yukiko as Chie placed her in a sitting position. “You okay, Yukiko?”

She was about to speak but stopped when she looked at something. You turned to see Shadow Yukiko back in her human form.

“Still alive?” Tomoe questioned.

“I’m game for round two.” Jiraiya taunted, cracking his knuckles.

“Jiraiya,” Izanami said to him calmly, grabbing his scarf. “This isn’t our fight now.”

“What?” He asked, confused. She cocked her head to the real Yukiko.

“No...” She sighed out. “You’re not...”

“We understand.” Yosuke cut her off. “You’re not the only one like that, Yukiko-san. Everyone has something they can’t show to other people or don’t want to admit themselves.”

“Yukiko, I’m sorry...” Chie choked out. Tomoe hummed questioningly at her master.

“I can’t do anything right on my own and I’ve caused so much trouble for Yosuke and (Name). If you weren’t by my side I...” Chie paused to wipe the incoming tears. “I wouldn’t know what to do... I’m so sorry..!”

“Chie-san...” Tomoe muttered softly.

“Chie...” Yukiko said. “I never saw the real you either.” Her hands took Chie’s. “I was too busy trying to find an easy way out.”

With her hands still in Yukiko’s grasp, Chie pulled her up. Yukiko let go of her friend’s hands and walked towards her Shadow. “I want someone to run away, I want someone to save me...”

Her hands now clutched her counterpart’s gloved ones. “You’re right. Those feelings are a part of me too. I understand now,” Yukiko said with finality as she finally smiled for the first time, “you’re me.”

Her other self smiled as she disappeared in a blue aura, giving everybody a glimpse of her Persona. It disappeared, leaving Yukiko to collapse on the floor.

“Yukiko!” Chie called out. She ran to her friend. “You okay?”

“Yeah...” Yukiko replied. “Just tired...” She then looked at your group. “You all came to save me, right?”

“Of course.” Chie answered. Yukiko gave out a tired smile, closing her eyes before she dropped to Chie’s body.

“Oh my, she must be tired.” Izanami stated. “We should escort her out of here.”

Chie, being slightly not as battered as you and Yosuke, took the job to piggyback Yukiko back at the entrance. The medicine that you had in storage were all gone and even with those, your group still looked like they survived a bear attack.

“I guess this is safe to say you guys aren’t the culprits after all.” Teddie said after your walk.

“You still suspect us, you lying sack of honey?” Yosuke groaned.

Jiraiya gave out a short laugh. “We are the same person.”

“Can it.”

“By the way, Yosuke,” You said to him, his head turning to you, “thanks for the save. You too, Jiraiya.”

“Right,” Izanami started, “thank you, Yosuke and Jiraiya. I’m surprised at how serious you could be when the situation requires it.”

“Ho ho?” Jiraiya hooted. “Well not to be a sad sack but if you want to express your thanks in a different way—”

“I make punching bags out of sack, frog.” Tomoe snapped.

“That’s enough.” You ordered, the two of them instantly staying quiet. “Let’s go home now, for real.”

———————————————————————————————————–

Persona Time

“I’ve got to hand it to you,” Jiraiya said, “not once, but twice.”

“What are you talking about, dude?” Yosuke replied, slowly placing his battered limbs on his bed. The pain of the TV world finally took its toll on his body. Hopefully this wouldn’t last for a long time.

Jiraiya floated down from the ceiling and jabbed at Yosuke’s chest. “You--in the same place--saved (Name) twice and got her gratitude twice. And don’t you lie to me that it didn’t felt good when you felt her again when you held her up.”

With how much Jiraiya had taunted Yosuke with you and your measurements, he finally started to practice having a straight face whenever he starts to bring you up.

Pressing his lips in a thin line, Yosuke scoffed as he turned away from him. “Don’t forget that Izanami thanked you too.”

“She—” Jiraiya rebutted. “Did. Not. Let me help her up so you get my problem, right?”

Yosuke sighed in annoyance, closing his eyes as he prayed he would have the power to walk tomorrow.

| Satonaka Residence |

“Ch-Chie-san!” Tomoe gasped, staring in awe and worry at how her master is pressuring her body. “Stop it this instant! You’re wounded from the fight!”

“No can do!” Chie grunted, kicking the air whenever she jumped in time with the music. “I saw somewhere that this is great training whenever you have sore muscles, so this is the perfect opportunity to do it!”

“CHIE!” The voice of her mother yelled from downstairs. “STOP PRANCING AROUND IN YOUR ROOM AND GO TO SLEEP!”

| Dojima Residence |

“Um...” Nanako trailed off. “Are you okay?”

Your face was contorted into a painful grimace as you attempted to sit yourself down on the dining chair. Even bending legs was absolute torture to you.

“I’m fine.” You wheezed. “Just tired.”

Izanami sighed from behind you. “Oh dear...”

Given that Lauren & Joaquim seem to view the Blade of Marmora as disposable characters and thus keep killing them all off (save for Kolivan thus far, but I know his hourglass is emptying and I am dreading it), I’ve had to create a number of Marmorite OCs for use in my fics. Since it’s 3am and I don’t feel like being a responsible adult and working on my coursework, I’m going to type up a quick reference for them here. Feel free to ignore.

Garus: Male. A little older than Kolivan, but not by that much (+5 years or so). Sort of a jack-of-all trades in that he doesn’t have a set division that he works in. Handles all sorts of missions, but also helps with a lot of the administrative work around the various bases (e.g. keeping track of who’s on what mission, that sort of thing) because he has a knack for it. Keeps up an air of strict professionalism when speaking to those not in the Blade, but has a tendency to be stubbornly nurturing (sometimes to the point of smothering) with other Marmorites (i.e. if he knows that one of the other Marmorites hasn’t eaten in a while, has a wound they’re not taking care of, et cetera, he will hound them until they eat, tend to their injuries, et cetera). Likes to cook. Alive.

Vidor: Male. Around the same age as Kolivan. Specializes in the intel / tactical division, particularly when it comes to taking intel that was gathered and applying it to future strategems. Does not emote much at all; he is one of those who will say “no, I found that to be very funny” and you can’t tell if he’s being sarcastic or not because his voice is as flat as his expression (unless you know him very well, of course; those who know him tend to be able to tell, usually). Is actually rather chill in temperament despite appearing dead serious 100% of the time; he’s patient when it comes to explaining his findings and thoughts, even if he has to explain them ten times because he doesn’t know how to simplify. Has a fascination with magic eye puzzles despite never being able to actually see the picture they’re supposed to be presenting. Alive.

Pezak: Male. Quite a bit older than Kolivan (grandpa-aged). Head of the weapons development division and has been for quite a few decaphoebs now. Very set in his ways and opinions and is convinced that he, due to his age and experience, knows the ways of the universe. Not averse to the sound of his own voice, and feels it is his duty as an older Galra to “pass on wisdom” to the younger ones (and feels indignant / offended / annoyed when they don’t want to listen). Prejudiced against part-Galra. Has worsening eyesight due to years of eyestrain developing weapons, yet refuses to opt for vision correction because of vanity issues. Alive.

Didrin: Male. Older than Keith, but younger than Kolivan---probably around Shiro’s age. Specializes in the weapons development division. Young and aware enough to know that things such as Pezak’s bigotry are not socially acceptable / okay, but was raised by those with similar prejudice before joining the Blade, and now works directly under someone who has that same prejudice (Pezak), and as such is still prejudiced himself to a degree even if he doesn’t voice or act on those thoughts (and even if he chides Pezak about them / tries to get Pezak not to voice them either). Tries to placate and appear reasonable and approachable to just about everyone around him (i.e. will be fake af and act nice even if he doesn’t actually like you most of the time). Enjoys drawing and draws up most of the schematics for new weapons therefore. Alive.

Torvik: Female. Around Keith’s age. Mostly runs intelligence / recon missions, though is not specifically part of the intel / tactical division. Super into space social media, at least conceptually, since as a Marmorite she isn’t actually allowed to have a social media presence. Thus, she is archiving all of the millions of vlogs she makes so that she can release them all at once when the war is won and the Galra Empire is gone for good (and the Blade of Marmora isn’t needed anymore). Tends to be, as one can tell, rather idealistic, optimistic, and upbeat therefore. Loves to laugh and be amused. Is pretty much glued to her tablet and camera. Loves to gossip and is proud of the fact that she doesn’t keep secrets (apart from the ones she has to keep as a Marmorite), and openly claims that this aspect of her personality, when combined with her job, makes her a more fascinating person. Is good at most sports and thoroughly enjoys them (both as a player and spectator), particularly fast-paced ones that involve a lot of dodging around (Earth comparisons would be ones like soccer, basketball, et cetera). Alive.

If you’ve read my fics but don’t recognize Torvik, don’t worry---you wouldn’t. She was originally mentioned briefly in Walk the Line during a paragraph at the beginning of the second part where Keith was thinking on all of Team Voltron’s ridiculous performances (you know, the ones from 4x04). Torvik got a recording one of them by sneaking out to see one and recording it on her camera (and then uploading it to her tablet), and she brought the recording into the mess hall so that all of the Marmorites there could get as good of a laugh from it as she was. Keith was only able to stand five minutes of it before the second-hand embarrassment was so strong he had to leave the room (and he would have felt that second-hand embarrassment anyway, due to how much of a waste of time he feels those shows are (and how much of an insult he feels those shows are when Regris died trying to get valuable intel to help the war effort, but there Team Voltron is twirling around on ice skates and signing autographs) but the fact that Torvik was laughing so hard she was crying and that the other Marmorites had reactions that ranged from being appalled to laughing just as hard didn’t help). The second part originally included that, along with other internal narration about how busy Keith was and how he was glad that his tightly packed schedule kept him from thinking about things such as that, but that whole bit just wasn’t working in terms of narrative flow, and so it got cut. (As such, so did the lines from The Mess Hall Incident™ later on that mentioned Torvik ~pretending~ to focus on her tablet when she was really watching the entire scene unfold with rapt attention.)

A School of Stars!!! Time to go back to class... or in Kyuranger's case, HALF of its members actually attends one! NOTE: This recap-view could have been released much sooner. In fact, I had planned to publish it several days earlier, since the show didn't air last Sunday. But as always, my health got in the way that I simply couldn't finish this piece until... just now. My body and bad weathers are definitely at odds with each other... T_T

- "Uchu Sentai Kyuranger: High School Wars" is a spin-off from the recently released "Episode of Stinger" V-Cinema bluray. This web-series is made available on TOEI Tokusatsu Fan Club app on September 9th, 2017, and will be concluded by a special 5th episode to be released on DVD. Technically, both "High School Wars" and "Episode of Stinger" CAN be regarded as unofficial 49th and 50th episode (though the latter alone has the duration of more). - If we put all currently available "High School Wars" episodes into one, it serves as a full 22.42 minutes feature, which is the average length of a weekly broadcast. Episode 1 (including opening, excluding credits and preview) is 5.12 minutes, Episode 2 is 05.40, Episode 3 is 6.20, and Episode 4 is 5.30 minutes. - Each episodes for "High School Wars" is called 'Period'. In chronological order, they can be generally translated as "Morning Assembly" (Chourei) , "Art Class" (Bijutsu), "Science Class" (Rika), "Physical Education" (Taiiku), and "Suplementary Exam" (Suishi). - For the record, this recap-view does not cover the last one, because as far as I know, it's not released yet (nor has an official release date). It might however, plays out in parallel to the "Episode of Stinger" storyline. FYI, the plot of its first 4 episodes bleeds directly to that V-Cinema story. A direct prologue, if you will. Anyway, I'll be recap-viewing these 4 available episodes separately below (in the style of my take on "Kamen Rider Build"). Read on...

01 - "Commander's Mischief"

- Rebellions sans Tsurugi, receive an undercover mission by Commander Xiao. Their destination is Planet 3B (TV-Nihon, to which this review is based, fansubbed it as such, eventhough other outlets called it as 'Sleeby' or 'Sleevy') of the Norma System. Jark Matter has installed their largest education facility, obviously using one to brainwash people to be their minions. Our Away Team is sent to inflitrate and defeat its Malistrate. - The name of this planet is clearly a shoutout to actor Tetsuya Takeda's popular drama series "3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei". Raptor even mimics the gesture of Takeda's character when she utters its name. This is a well-known and popularly used gag in Japanese entertainment. Pretty much most if not all parody shows have included nods to this long-running show. - Best part of this episode, is when an unusually giddy Xiao practically spills the bean about one important thing: that the Kyulette system is rigged. As it turns out, he's been hiding the Kyu Globes of several members to ensure the outcome for the rest! And Raptor says, that it's NOT the first time. LOL. Even better, he claims that it's due to "conditions to production", a statement that sounds 'odd' to the others, but works so darn well as a brilliant joke to us audience. I've said before, how Xiao is parroting like a TOEI executive or producer. This is yet another very meta-joke that reinforces that notion! Also, do you notice that the first selected Away Team consists of all suit-characters and not the human ones? There's this unconfirmed fact that it's considerably cheaper to use voice + suit actors instead of the young talents. Hence... productional conditions. LOL. - As much as I would love to see the entire cast wearing school uniforms (Raptor has prepared for ALL of them, Garu's in particular looks Yankee-cool), Kyulette actually ends up choosing all the human cast. Human-looking one of course, if we factor the case of Stinger. All dressed up to portray different kind of student stereotypes, the Away Team heads to Planet 3B. While at the same time, Xiao needs to do some explaining to Champ, Garu, and Balance. - By the way, Raptor's comment that it would be nice to wear uniform, could be a neat callback to when her voice actress dressed up as a maid in one of Go-kaiger's episode. Notice that she's wearing Spada's chef-hat while saying this? So sweet. And Balance's concern about Naga and brainwashing is certainly a jab to his Dark-Naga arc. Lucky's outfit and the high school angle in general, in a way serves as a homage to "Denji Sentai Megaranger" as well. Don't forget, it was the first season/series that aired on 07.30 JST, while Kyuranger is the last to air on the schedule.

Comment: This was undeniably my favorite episode of these web-series. Not just because every members are onboard, but the jokes were simply spot-on, and I just love all those the minor details included here. Especially that brilliant nod to "Kinpachi-sensei" that I didn't catch on my first viewing.

02 - "How Great Thou Art"

- Our Away Team arrives on the facility, and the web-series' face-slapping running gag starts here. Each time the school bell rings, the boys instantly get brainwashed. Lucky becomes lazy, Stinger is all smiley and giggly, Naga is twitching, Spada mopes like a fish, and Kotarou looks... high. Yikes! That's disturbing to see. Hammy is luckily wearing a headset (appropriately in green), most likely listening to Hoshi Minato's song. Thus she gets the privilege to... ugh, slap the others back to their senses. - Their first 'enemy' is Student Council President Indaver, voiced by... *drumrolls* Yousuke Itou, who is none other than Deka Green Sen-chan himself! This is his second participation in Kyuranger, following that minor guest appearance in the "Space Squad" crossover episode. The Indaver points out Naga's silver hair and Hammy as violation to the all-boys school. He challenges the team for a three-rounds duel. - Subject is... ART. Lucky wins the first, eventhough his painting doesn't resemble like the model. Spada loses the second, but he most definitely wins the joke of the day by drawing a delectable fruit parfait as his rendition of a basket of fruits. His chef jokes, smooth catchy foreign phrases, and dandy mannerism never ceases to amaze me. "Originality is vital in cooking!", he says. LOL. Naga is up to do the last task, and it has the most challenging model: the idol Hoshi Minato! Turning this episode into a small "Magiranger vs Dekaranger" flick. - Of course, the final duel's result plays for laughs, as Minato chooses Naga's more gorgeous shoujo-manga rendition as the result, compared to Council President's more realistic one. Angry about this, Council President tries to attack Naga, but Minato hands him the #59 Pictor Kyu Globe to... paint the Indaver's defeat. Ouch! Minato then leaves the room by repeatedly saying "THANK YOU"... or "SAN-KYU" in Japanese. Get it? 3-9? :D - Minato's appearance is nice and all, considering he's underused in the TV series. Unfortunately, it also serves as the most problematic aspect of this web-series. Particularly, in 'WHEN' this series take place. As I said on the extra note for episode 35, Hoshi still has the creepy puppet on his shoulder here. The general assumption is that he's still under the influence of Don Armage. Am I right? But why does he hand out a Kyu Globe then? It does NOT make sense. This action implies that Minato's already a supporter for the Kyuranger, because he's been rallying against Jark Matter since episode 36. Then again, it contradicts the fact that he can even walk freely into this school! Why would Jark Matter let him in if he's supporting the Rebellion, right? - The easiest way to address this, is by ignoring two things: First, the puppet's significance. Hoshi clearly has ditched it ever since he was freed from control, so let's just assume he put it back in as... I don't know, random accessory? Second, Hammy's odd reaction, as if she hasn't met Hoshi before inspite of the aftermath of Pavo's Got Talent. Let's just assume she's fangirling or something. These two measures will allow this spin-off to take place AFTER episode 35, so it makes more sense. Probably not BEFORE episode 36 though... because well, let's just say, the ending of "Episode of Stinger" will contradict this even further. Does that sound confusing? Oh well, let's just proceed to the next period for now...

Comment: In general, it's a fun episode with both Spada and Naga being the episode's MVP. Not to mention, that brief yaoi slur between Magi Yellow and Ophiucus Silver would make their respective fans glee in fangasmic joy. Unfortunately, as I've pointed out above, it's also a major flaw in design. Placing this web-series in the continuity have become... conflicting, all thanks to this one episode. Such a big shame, because the show has been VERY good at keeping things in check prior to this.

03 - "The 88 Quiz"

- Spada and Kotarou discover that they are all trapped inside the classroom. The only way to get out, is by defeating the next 'enemy' that comes walking in. Oh, yes... there's that face-slapping bit again. Yeesh, this gag gets tired REALLY FAST. - Next subject that our Away Team needs to overcome... is Science. In charge of this subject, is the female Vice Principal Indaver, who apparently is the mother of the Student Council President. This one isn't voiced by a Super Sentai alumn, but by Sakura Miyajima from Project R. who... is also a Super Sentai Super-Fan. Duh? - And the new task involves... massive information dump! This is the infamous episode that basically confirms ALL entries of the 88 Kyu Globes. Yes, the listing has been kept wrapped as a tight mystery ever since the show started, yet this one decides to blatantly ignore that restriction and unveils all of them in one strike. Thus, we get a detail Constellation Systems shoutout from #01 Leo until #88 Puppis (Argo Navis and the special ones are not included). LOL. By the way, did you know that the naming is deliberately done in Japanese and not Latin, to avoid similarity to "Saint Seiya"? Tom Constantine of The Tokusatsu Network recently shared this enlightening fact. - What strikes me as peculiar here... is that Tsurugi hasn't been around or even mentioned thus far. Even during this Constellation quiz, Phoenix isn't referenced to him, eventhough Hammy clearly points out the Argo components. It gives off another conflicting impression, that this web-series takes place before Tsurugi's debut in episode 21. I might be reading too much on this, but what if... the web-series was filmed before Tsurugi's actor join the team? On the other hand, Naga's emotion clearly indicates that it at least takes place after episode 31. See? Contradictory indeed! - Anyway, Kotarou gets to be the focus of this episode, because the final 4 missing Constellations relies heavily on his educational background. As in, only those who goes to school SHOULD know them. Hmmmm... really? I'd argue that's not entirely accurate (you'll see why... on the next part), but... let's just play along. - Vice Principal is defeated, hence the big baddie shows up to confront our team. Not only Principal Indaver is the wife of Vice Principal and naturally father of Student Council, and the Malistrate of Planet 3B, but he's also voiced by Yousuke Itou. "There are logistical reasons for why our faces are the same", he says, practically screaming "budgetary limitations" to our ears. His spotlight is saved for the next episode, as a seventh Kyuranger member joins in... simply because his inclusion will be necessary. How so? Read on...

Comment: Biggest highlight from this episode, is undeniably the complete listing to EVERY Kyu Globes. Whether the ones that have been used, or haven't in any form of the series (TV, V-Cinemas, Summer Movie, and/or random sweepstakes). Sadly, it came bringing another continuity issue, though not as massive as the previous one. It's enough to bother me to the bones though...

04 - "Useless Kyu Globes"

- We have arrived in the final part... considering the 5th episode is called 'Suplementary'. And things get... physical this time around. A Super Sentai episode needs to contain a fully-suited action sequence, as well as giant mecha battle. This is where we get both for "High School Wars". Well, one half of it, to be precise. - That 7th Kyuranger I mentioned above? Who else but Champ. But why is his inclusion (and not any other members) necessary? Because... he's the lead supporting character in "Episode of Stinger", being its lead protagonist's partner and all. For your information, this episode directly cuts to the V-Cinema, so Champ's presence is urgently required. So nope, he's not just there because Chamaeleon Green's slap-fest no longer in effect to cure the pesky brainwashing gag. - By the way, Champ arrives wearing a delinquent-style costume. Similar to the one worn by Gentarou of "Kamen Rider Fourze", or Jousuke in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable". If only we can see the others in their cosplays too. - Those 4 supposedly school-related Constellations? The Kyurangers actually utilize their Kyu Globes in the battle against a kendo-based Principal Indaver, so it's time to talk about... why I have issues with them. I can give #49 Circinus and #46 Norma a pass, because compass (the mathematical tool, NOT one used for navigation... that's assigned to Pyxis) and ruler are used at school, eventhough Norma is specifically a Carpenter's Level. But #79 Sextans and #80 Octans? Both Sextant and Octant are navigational tools generally used for NAVAL exploration. How on Earth would Kotarou knew or even used them both at school?! He must have gone to a VERY advanced school if that's the case. Because even a guys as old as me have NEVER seen neither one directly with my own pair of eyes. - Apart from Norma, these Kyu Globes are practically... useless. The Away Team can't even use most of them. Norma somehow works because Leo Red is miraculously able to use it as a finishing move. I'd argue that being in the Norma System is the sole reason, hence it gets a spontaneous power up. But let's not be bothered by such useless details... - Our final special cameo appears, this time in person. Kouta!!! I mean... Kouhei Yamamoto a.k.a. Hurricane Yellow himself appears as the school's Chairman. Like most if not all cast members of "Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger" (and also "Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger", hence Sen-chan's participation), Yamamoto is well-known for his loyalty to Super Sentai franchise. He's one of the reason why we even had that "Hurricaneger 10 Years After" V-Cinema. So seeing him here doesn't feel remotely like a surprise. - This episode still has one final scene before it ends. Principal Indaver escapes the 'Ruler Attack', and jumps aboard his Consumarz to attack the Away Team. Kyuren-Oh is summoned, and... "TO BE CONTINUED". Wait, for real? Yep. The conclusion to this mecha battle *spoiler alert*, will be available as the opening scene for "Episode of Stinger". We even get an extended preview (featuring that amazing new song by Stinger's actor) for the V-Cinema as a quick reminder...

Comment: This final episode ended VERY annoyingly. That's the general complaints resonating throughout Kyuranger's fanbase. Along with one more thing: useless Kyu Globes. How could I counter that, when those arguments were mostly accurate? Strangely, this was an OKAY episode for me, and not as problematic as the 2nd and 3rd. That's why I'm giving it a mediocre score...

Overall: Overall, "High School Wars" has been a light, mostly clausthrophobic and/or secluded academic-themed gag, that gave the human actors the chance to cosplay as students. Of course, being a highly comedic distraction was not all that bad. Unfortunately, it also served the weakest link among Kyuranger's canon. That slapping-face gag was rather violent, especially when a minor such as Kotarou had to endure the same treatment. That's downright child abuse, right? And then there's that overlaying continuity problem, that made the writing felt... weak and sloppy in general. I'm not sure who wrote this, but if it's the same writer who worked on "Episode of Stinger"... then it sort of make sense (Kento Shimoyama's portofolio includes... "Shuriken Sentai Ninninger"! No wonder...). Sadly, as you would find out soon, this issue also affected that V-Cinema. It will make anyone to question whether both features actually connects to the TV series or not at all. An alternate universe take? As of writing, I'm STILL waiting anxiously for the official answer to this. There's a speculation that we'll be getting some actual closure and proper timeline explanation in that exclusive 5th episode. Tell you the truth though, I'm NOT so sure about that... Next: "Episode of Stinger"... what else? *grins* PS: Assuming I can get it done without any external (unexpected situations) nor internal (my health is still not in full prime) interferences, expect recap-view for Stinger's V-Cinema to arrive tomorrow. Or the day after. Also, this recap-view will not include the Overall Score for "High School Wars". That will be posted alongside review for Episode 5... IF and only IF I can see one, of course.

Episode 01 Score: 8 out of 10 Episode 02 Score: 6 out of 10 Episode 03 Score: 6,5 out of 10 Episode 04 Score: 7 out of 10
