Kula Alexandrite and Sula Sapphire Location: Multiversal S.P.R.E.A.D Station
"Oh, come on! Why did this thing hasn't arrived yet?!", he complained. Sula was really tired of waiting for the S.P.R.E.A.D shuttle. "Calm down, Sula. It will soon arrive, I assure you.", Kula said. He was sitting in the bench while Sula was standing and stomping the ground, furious. "Dude, I can't believe our vacation will start with the shuttle not coming! If we paid for the shuttle to come at this hour, it's supposed to come now!! We didn't bought our tickets knowing that the shuttle was going to be late, darn it!", he said a little louder and people started to look. Kula conducted him to sit on the bench as well and held his hand. "If you start complaining, the vacation will dure even less. So please, be calm. You know that I do not like when you are angry. It always worries me.", Kula said. His brother blushed as he looked to the ground. "S-Sorry, Kula. Didn't meant to lose my cool there... but this is the only chance we can be together. Just the two of us. We're brothers, so I want these moments to be perfect.", Sula admitted. He was really close to Kula, his brother. Kula hugged Sula as the latter hugged back. "It will be alright. Our vacation will be pretty much entertaining.", Kula said, smiling.
As they walked and Polaris paused the fight, Lilly saw something white coming out from Magio's head. She immediately took the hoodie she had yesterday and put in Magio's head.
Magio: Lilly...? Lilly: Just stay with that. It's better like that. Magio: ... It's because of that. Lilly: Well... we can show it later, yeah?
Magio: No. Lilly: Huh?! Magio: I'm trying to be myself and do what I wish. And besides that...
Lilly knew what he was saying. She could hide his ears, but how she would explain about the tail? That's why Magio took off the hoodie and let his cat ears up.
Kokoro: Ah! Your ears! Magio: What? What about it? Kokoro: Uhhh... just saying... Lilly: That's why I wanted you to stay with the hoodie! Magio: You're worried for nothing. I don't think anyone here minds my cat ears and tail. I mean, it's just a pair of ears and a tail. Who cares? Polaris: Dad, can I play with you ear? Magio: Hmmm? With my ear? Polaris: Well, it is just that I wanted to- Polaris: *is picked by Magio* Whoa! Magio: C'mon, up you go!
After being pucked up, she was put in her father's shoulders. Polaris started to play with Magio's ears like a innocent child.
Polaris: Hihihihi~! They're so fluffy! Magio: I know. Just don't pull them- OUCH!! Polaris: S-Sorry...I will be careful... Magio: Sheesh...
Then, the black cat that Magio helped earlier jumped on his arm.
Magio: Aww, look who's here. What do you want, boy? Cat: Meooow... (I'm hungry...) Magio: Oh, you're hungry. Hey how about I treat you a big bowl of milk and a tuna fish when we get to the school? Magio: Oh, but your owners might be worried... Cat: M-Meow... (U-Umm... they died a few days go...) Magio: ... Ouch, sorry for that. Didn't meant to say that to make you sad. Magio: Well, then I'll take care of you. How does that sound? Cat: Meow! Meow! (Sounds really fun! I wanna go!) Magio: Cool! We'll be getting there in no time!
He started to pet the cat in the head as the animal started to purr.
Kokoro: He can talk with it... how come I can't talk with cats?! Lilly: That's the question? Kokoro... Kokoro: Aw, no fair. Why only Magio and Chen are able to do it? I wanna talk with the little kitty!
Spring Zone: Hakurei Shrine
Hybrid: Look, some people are here. Reimu: That girl I remember, but the other two... Hybrid: Ya think they came for picking up the brat? Reimu: He's not unconscious, he's sleeping. And I seriously doubt that. Hybrid: Really? If ya say so... Reimu: Things are really peaceful today. I wonder if something will shake up... ((It will.))
The next nonspell had Magio shooting a ring of bubbles while danamku started to materialize slowly. Reimu paid attention to those details.
Young Magio: Wish "Fleeting Aspiration"!!
Using his power to grant wishes through shooting starts, Magio started to materialize danmaku in random places. The spell was simply danmaku materializing, but since it took a while to disappear, Reimu had her time.
Young Magio: Eeeek! Reimu: (Shooting stars and wishes... This kid is probably...)
Reimu's thought was interrupted by Magio's nonspell. He started to teleport and shoot a ring of danmaku as he appeared. Whenever he did 3 teleports in a row, the 4th was a shooting of 3 rings at once. She managed to evade the shots and dispel his attack.
Young Magio: Space Sign "Movement Restricted"!!
That spell reminded her of Taboo "Kagome-Kagome", but Reimu knew the difference. First of all, Magio was restricting her with lasers. Secondly, Magio wasn't shooting bubbles, only the normal sized stars. Third, he was on a static position. And fourth...
Reimu: (Cripes, he didn't just limited my movement. The stars are being teleported through these lasers...)
Reimu moved evading the stars that appeared at her area and kept shooting.
Young Magio: Eeeeeek!! Reimu: (Damnit, this is becoming troublesome...)
Magio's next nonspell had the use of familiars. He called magical circles to spread and shoot lasers at Reimu while he shot a cluster of stars towards her.
Young Magio: Light Sign "Royal Barrier"!!
Magio stood in a static position, shooting light orbs into various positions. Reimu passed through them, but they suddenly stopped. As she stood shooting, lasers connected the orbs, forming lines of barriers. She got caught by one, losing another life.
Reimu: Another life lost... how can this happen...?!
Cursing her bad luck at the moment, Reimu kept on the offensive, changing back to the Homing Amulets.
Young Magio: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Reimu: This thing is getting out of my control real fast, so let's end this here! Young Magio: T-This is really hard... Reimu: Hey, don't worry. You'll get the hang of things soon if you keep like that. Young Magio: You think so? Is my danmaku acceptable for now? Reimu: Y-Yeah... Young Magio: Yes! I feel so honored! Young Magio: But I suppose it is ending, right? Young Magio: Hmmm... it was really fun... even if it was difficult... Reimu: (Well... fun only for you.) Young Magio: OK, I will do these last ones pretty good, so I will not disappoint you! Reimu: (... Great. Good to know...)
Polaris: Wow... Father was already strong in the past. I am ever impressed. Lilly: By my discernment and by analyzing this fight, I came to a conclusion. Seraph: Which conclusion? Lilly: ... That I don't ever want to fight Magio in a danmaku battle. Seraph: I had drawn to the same conclusion. Especially because I don't revolve around danmaku.
School: Main Gate
Necrox and Auguste arrived at the school and passed through the gate.
Keine: Oh, Necrox. Necrox: I did nothing. Keine: I'm not here to lecture you... Necrox: Says you. Auguste: Milord, this is where you are currently staying, correct? Necrox: Yup. And this over here is one of my teachers. Keine, this is Auguste, my butler. Keine: Hmmm? But what about Sakuya? Necrox: She's still my maid, but he's serving me. And since Sakuya is Remilia's dog, I needed one, capiche? Auguste: A... dog...? Necrox: That's a manner of saying. Geez... Keine: Well, as long as it doesn't bother us, that's fine for me. Keine: Oh, now that you're here, can you help me on something? Necrox: It depends. How much of interest you're putting into it? Keine: Can't you just do a single favor without wanting interest? Necrox: i'm just joking. What's the matter?
Keine opened the way for Maribel and Renko to arrive. Upon seeing her closely, Necrox truly saw Yukari on the girl...
Necrox: Oh... Maribel: Mr. Necrox... correct? Necrox: Y-Yeah... Maribel: It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Maribel Hearn. And this is my friend, Renko Usami. Renko: How's it going?
Necrox didn't answered. He kept staring at Maribel, still fazed by the sight.
Necrox: ... Maribel: I-Is something wrong? You're staring at me... Necrox: Nothing, forget it. What do you want, anyway? Keine: They wish to see Magio. Could you take them to him?
Necrox could easily take them or send Auguste to do the work. But he thought about Remilia's words on the subject.
Necrox: They'll come back for going to the festival, right? So what's the point on taking them? Keine: Well, they do seem anxious, so I thought- Necrox: I'm not taking them to Magio, they'll wait him here. Renko: What?! Why?! Necrox: I have my reasons. Renko: Well, if that's the case, we're going on our own. Let's go, Merry! Maribel: Renko, wait!
But before they could leave, Auguste took his sword from its sheathe and pointed at both girls.
Renko and Maribel: Ah!! Auguste: I believe you two are being too hasty. If I were you, I would stand where you are. Keine: Necrox!! Necrox: It's best if they don't take one step out of this school. Put them as students here. Keine: Huh?! Why are you- Necrox: Just do it. Unless you want them perished.
Since he knew they would try to run, Necrox tied both of them in red chains. Then, he walked towards the school.
Renko: Heeey!! Get us out!! Necrox: ... *sigh*... I'm going to Rinnosuke. Maribel: Wait, please! We just want to- Necrox: I know what I'm doing. If you really want to see him that bad, you'll both stay quiet inside this school. Keine: ... Necrox: Auguste, c'mon. We don't have the entire day. Auguste: As you wish, Milord.
They went further into the school. Keine kept wondering at what Necrox had in mind, but decided to take Maribel and Renko for somewhere to see if someone could break the chains Necrox put.
