[Sanpaku Captain’s Room]

The muffled sounds of a shower running behind a closed door can be heard getting turned off from the other side, outside of the bathroom.

Sitting on his bed, inside their Captain’s Quarters, a friendly smiling Katsu is now freshly showered.

He has an equally fresh white tank top tucked into his black and white shorts.

Finally, the young Yang Vessel rolls up his socks to his lower calf.

After both his socks are on, he grabs his towel and rubs his still damp hair.

When he removes the cloth from his head, the faint stain of red from his blood soaked hair can be seen in the light blue towel.

Katsu(to himself): "I even washed my hair twice..."

He takes a deep sigh.

With a perfect throw, the QB#1 tosses the blood stained cloth, hitting the bottom of the empty hamper.

Right after the made shot, the bathroom doorknob turns and the door opens with a creak.

Steam escapes as Saku, wearing an untucked, black tank top, with white and black shorts, exits with Friend trotting close behind.

The trusty canine companion hops up on his Master’s bed and curls up at the foot of it.

Neither of the contemporary forces look or say anything to each other as Saku stops rubbing his head, and looks at the red stain in his own tan colored towel after drying off his long black hair.

He too, takes a deep sigh and tosses his towel towards the hamper, but his lands, hanging on the top edge.

The washed and refreshed Yin Vessel then moves to the mini fridge and grabs a water.... two waters.

He quickly tosses one towards Katsu, who appears ready but bobbles the bottle anyway, and it lands on his bed.

Refraining from trying to make any eye contact with his hostile roommate, Saku cracks open his water and drinks half on the short way to his bed, placing the half full(or empty) receptacle on the nightstand to the left of his bedside.

Katsu however, doesn’t open the friendly gesture.

Instead, he places it on his own nightstand table beside his bed to his right.

They both lay back, looking at the high speed spinning ceiling fan, above and between them.

There is at least a minute of silence, besides one of Friend’s soft sleeping dog farts.

Saku: "So you’re still not going to tell me why you hate me, huh Katsu?"

Not saying anything out loud, and without activating his Anjell Eye to it’s 2nd Stage, the Vessel for the Communication Eye of Wisdom uses his telekinesis to respond to the claims.

Katsu(telekinesis): *I shouldn’t have to.

I have my reasons, and that’s all you need to know.

Just remember this, Saku.

The next three days are going to be a lot for everyone to handle, including Shelly...*

Saku is more interested in the context to the words of his rivaling contemporary force than Katsu avoiding vocal conversation. He responds back within his own head, knowing Katsu can hear him.

Saku(telekinesis): *What do you mean by that?

Ever since we’ve been blessed and cursed with these Anjell Eyes, you keep hinting like your from the future, Katsu. Even if you specifically can’t tell everyone because you don’t want them knowing your ’secret self’, you can tell me or let me in on what’s going to happen.

That way, you can continue your ’for the greater good’, nerdy charade and I can get everyone prepared.

Please dude, what do you know about MamMon’s plans in three days?*

Despite the most recent attempt to settle their differences, while keeping the fake smile on his face, the Yang Vessel snaps back through their connected thoughts.

Katsu(telekinesis): *Or, you can go fuck yourself.

How about that, Saku?*

Saku takes another deep sigh, and Friend gets up, noticing his owners sudden change in disposition.

Katsu(telekinesis): *They won’t let us rest...*

Saku sits up, his eyes dart over, finally caving into looking over at his rival.

His sudden movement makes his four legged pal look up.

Saku: "What?"

Katsu looks back over with his smile, they EyeEngage and a he raises an eyebrow.

Katsu: "What?

I didn’t say anything.

Are you okay, Saku?"

They quickly disengage and both go back to looking at the spinning ceiling fan.

Katsu(telekinesis): *Listen, shithead.

Cuz I’m going to tell you this once and it’s only because whenever I don’t, your shitty half of Sanpaku gets overwhelmed and Shelly sometimes ends up dying trying to protect me.*

Saku swallows his spit, keeping his mind clear to allow no interference between what Katsu is informing him with.

Katsu(telekinesis): *For the next three days, we are going to be constantly harassed and challenged by not only HFF soldiers trying to collect our bounties, but Vinland’s Surviving Military.

We’re still wanted criminals to most the people of this island. As long as MamMon and Nephilim keep their plans under wraps from the rest of the HFF military, they can send goon after goon to weaken Takamagahara and make it harder for us to beat them. All while another faction, larger than Takamagahara and Humanity’s Final Flame combined, is breathing down our necks.*

Saku(telekinesis): *What?

Damn it, your right!

Kami Island is seperate from the mainland up North.

Now that the mountains know where we’re all stationed, they can send wave after wave of HFF soldiers into Sanpaku. All while being outnumbered from the shores of Tomodachi Town!*

Katsu(telekinesis): *Luckily for you, there is only a few ways for them to enter your ’Demon District’.

While Tomodachi Town is straight in their line of fire with their owned territory.

One way would be to enter normally through middle Sanpaku, then head West into your territory.

The second way...*

Saku: "Roronora City..."

Katsu once again looks over at his roomie with a confused expression.

Katsu: "Did you just say, ’Roronora City’?

I mean, I think it would be more appropriate to call it ’Roronora Lake’ now.

Haha!"

Saku: "What?..."

Katsu’s eyes fixate on one blade and his eyes repeatedly roll, following the dusty fan blade.

Katsu: "Yea, I don’t know if it was your outburst of power that made all those Icemen show up or what, but while you were going rouge, the entire city sanctuary was wiped out by rampaging Icemen.

It was terrible, the smaller variants were ganging up and completely mashing their victims and once they were done, the giant variants came through and demolished the entire city like they did with Son Goku City.

I tried to stop as many as I could, but there were too many of them, and I’m too weak right now to have stopped every single one..."

Saku’s eyes widen and he looks down at his clean empty hands.

Saku: "Wait...

So, that wasn’t a dream?"

Now putting together the pieces, instead of in his loose grip, the vision of his clean open hand flashed into him holding the blood, teeth, hair, and bone fragments he had seen just before the looming bottom of a giant Iceman darkened his vision, sending him to talk to Lilith.

Saku: "You-

You son of a bitch..."

Katsu(telekinesis): *I know you were conscious while you were stuck upside-down, dip shit.

Where did you think you where?

I guess when ya kill as many braincells as you and the ’wannabe-gangster’ have, your memory is the first to be sacrificed.*

Saku(telekinesis): *Shut up!

Leave Laban out of this!

It’s because of you all those damn aliens attacked the city, wasn’t it?!

Because of what you know, you saw this as an opportunity and took it!

Didn’t you, Katsu?*

Katsu(telekinesis): *Maybe.*

Saku(telekinesis): *And now, since Laban has no more political or economic power to prove her atonement towards the rest of the group, even with her virtually all knowing eye ability, nobody other than myself will believe her when she calls you out!

You must know Shelly or someone else from Takamagahara gains Nye-omnipotency in the future, and that’s why you’re keeping your shit talking in our heads.*

As if ignoring the well thought out claims, Katsu yaawwwwwwns with a stretch.

Katsu: "Boy, we sure had another long ass day today, huh?"

He turns his back towards Saku, putting his right arm underneath his pillow, and closes his eyes.

Saku: "Katsu, what...

What about the kids that died today?

Those kids..."

However, Katsu keeps the silent mental conversation going.

Katsu(telekinesis): *I don’t give a fuck about those kids!

I’m doing everything I have to, in order to protect Shelly from you!

Now go have fun with your harem, ’LoverBoy’.*

Saku: "Wha-"

But before he can get the rest of the word out...

*BANG*

*BANG*

Xaaydagaay: "*EII-III-K!* *EII-III-K!*

*CLICK!* *CLICK!*"

From the door to their connecting room, the newly acquired Orca Girl is furiously slamming against the wall on the other side.

The muffled screams of Princess Rebekah are heard through the walls and the anger in Laban’s voice can be understood too.

Laban DaeMon(muffled): "All this Shamoo Sashimi Slut did was piss in the prebath shower and splash around in that huge bath for twenty minutes.

Now she’s woke up Rebekah!"

The tantrum throwing newcomer manages to make her way to slam herself all the way to the locked door and she can be heard attempting to use her newly acquired thumbs to open it, but after a few failed tries....

*BAM!*

*BAM!*

Xaaydagaay: "*EEIIEEK!*

Itsuka(muffled): "Xayy! Hun...

You have to put clothes on first!

You can’t walk around naked, especially with the way you look!"

Laban DaeMon(muffled): "Hmph, she’s not that hot..."

Xaaydagaay(muffled): "*Hissss*"

Itsuka (muffled): "Ow!

She freaking bit me!"

Xaaydagaay: *EEIIEEK!*

*EEIIEEK!*"

Shelly(muffled): "What the Hell is going on in here?!?"

In comedic fashion, Saku reluctantly shuffles his way to the door and slowly unlocks it.

Apparently just in time for a top half dressed Xaaydagaay to burst through the weak door and land on top of the "sooo unfortunate" Yin Vessel.

The clean and pampered Itsuka and Shelly both pop their heads in together but the Valkyrie descendant’s gaze immediately searches for her purpose.

Once they lock eyes, Shelly releases a soft smile of relief and so does Katsu.

Without Itsuka noticing, the beautiful blonde quietly activates just enough of her SoulSeiõrShield for her adopted brother to notice and points to her temple.

Katsu nods with a matching smile and they start communicating through the telekinesis possible by his Anjell Eye’s Seiõr manipulation.

Katsu(telekinesis): *What’s up Shell?

Did you want us to talk like this?*

Pissed off Laban struts in from the doorway, her freshly washed black hair in a bun, except for her cowlick bangs.

She’s wearing one of Shelly’s training shirts and a pair of Itsuka’s boyshorts.

Shelly(telekinesis): *It’s just...later on tonight...

C-Can we talk like this through the walls for a little bit?*

Katsu lets out a chuckle through his nose and nods. The adorable, smiling and, blushing Shelly deactivates her SoulSeiõrShield. She nods while returning her gorgeous blue azule eyes to the scene unfolding.

Laban DaeMon: "That’s it!

I’ve had enough of this fake innocent, ’she doesn’t know any better’, bull crap!

She’s always been a mammal!

She knows exactly what she’s doing!

F.Y.I. ’High-Tide’, I’m the one who will get impregnated by my Saki!"

She tries to jump on top of Xaaydagaay in an attempt to pull her off, but once again, not taking into consideration the free range motion tail of the half whale, half human woman, Laban is struck perfectly and goes flying across the room, hitting the other door leading out to the hallway.

Laban DaeMon: "Stupid...Fish..."

Friend jumps from the bed and starts barking at the orca girl on top of his master.

The confused half human girl looks up and tilts her head multiple times as if she is examining the barking dog.

Then, as if with her intelligent innate orca instincts...

Xaaydagaay: "*Ruff!* *RUFF!*"

Friend seems to stop as if... understanding her.

Friend: "Rrrrrufff!

Rurrrufffruff!"

Xaaydagaay: *Raaruuffff!* Ruufffrrrrrurururufffff!*

Saku, still underneath the barking whale woman, with a his Anjell Eye spazzing in every direction, and an all white human eye, he manages to mumble out in his unconsciousness.

Saku(mumbling): "What the fuck is going on anymore?"

..

...

...

[Inside Nephilim’s Pocket]

Within the glowing concentrated orb of Seiõr surrounding the sleeping Princess Kawaii, the cute snot bubble pops, but quickly reforms.

Princess Kawaii(in her sleep): "Your so beautiful...

Mama..."
