Chapter 5: And straight to the Underworld.
Next Day, Sullivan & Xiuying's Hotel Room.
After waking up, and Sullivan dreaming about Serval... While he's specialized in taking down Heavy Armor, Elite Enemies, or weakening Bosses... Serval's skills and Intelligent charm were enough to win Sullivan's heart... The same goes for Virgilio, but he has Stelle.
"What? Love at first sight?" Xinying with a slightly surprised tone.
"Yeah... Serval. I like women like her."
"Wow. Never thought you'd like girls with brains. I mean..."
"You're alright, Xiuying. You still have a chance, if she declines." Sullivian reassures Xiuying.
"Jeez... Thanks-"
Xiuying was interrupted by the shocked scream of their CO.
"Oh shit! Virgilio!"
Both Xiuying and Sullivan went into QRF Mode, with Xiuying with her Stallion .44, and Sullivan with his Erad.
Sullivan kicked the door open and saw one hell of a mess along with Virgilio... Somehow glued to the wall and Stelle, with the tail and ears of a Raccoon for no reason, and smaller...
"Virgilio! What the hell happened!?" Xiuying asked.
"Stelle happened..."
"... Well.. We got a troublemaker..." Sullivan with a slight chuckle.
"Not funny..." Virgilio muttered...
March 7th takes more pictures, Dan Hang just watched, unamused.
After a while, they've calmed down and freed Virgilio...
"What's the situation?" Virgilio asked.
"There's a group of Silvermane Guard at the entrance... And I don't think they're here to say hi." Dan Hang replied...
"If that's our escort, I have a feeling that they're not friendly." Xiuying added.
"They're our escort for me and Virgilio!" Stelle.
"And... Which is?" Dan Hang asked.
"For our Wedding.~" Stelle said it, and Virgilio immediately blushed...
"It's official! The Trailblazing Pilot is true now! This Ship is now Official!" March 7th.
"God damn it, Stelle!!!" Virgilio...
"Ara.~" Xiuying.
After calming down... Get left the Gothe Hotel and they weren't in the mood to talk.
"Hey! Commander Bronya is waiting for you all down below. Hurry and see her. And no tricks." A Silvermane Guard told them.
'Shit... It's a betrayal.' Virgilio's mind noticed, and even Xiuying and Sullivan noticed.
Once they arrived... There's Commander Bronya and Officer Pela, waiting for them.
"I am Bronya Rand, acting commander of the Silvermane Guards. In the name of the Amber Lord (Qlipoth) in the highest, and under orders of Supreme Guardian Cocolia Rand, I here arrest the three suspected infiltrators under the charge of plotting to incite rebellion." Bronya Rand. "As an agent of the supreme guardian, I herewith temporarily strip you of your freedom of action and speech. When you are tried by the adjudication panel, you will be given the opportunity to defend yourselves against the accusations."
"Resistance will prove futile. You must come with me, as for the three of your hostages. They won't be going with you three."
"W-Wait a minute... This isn't what we all agreed upon! And what do you mean three Hostages!?" March 7th with a shocked tone.
Bronya looked at Pela. She nodded and explained.
"Mister Virgilio, Miss Xiuying & Mister Sullivan have been reported to be seen fixing the mistakes that girl (Stelle) made. Along with signs of poor health. So, we'll be taking them to help them recover, while you three will be sent to jail."
Virgilio, Xiuying & Sullivan looked at each other confused.
"But... What? But they..." Sullivan tried to explain.
"Could it be Stockholm Syndrome...?" Pela added.
"... Then we'll need to help them..." Bronya replied.
Bronya went to Virgilio and said...
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you three-."
"WATCH OUT!!!"
Virgilio managed to save Bronya from a jealous Stelle, which landed at another Guard. Dan Hang materialized his Spear and knocked three incoming Silvermane Guards. Dan Hang grabbed Stelle's hand and ran.
"LET ME GO!!! I CAN'T LET HER TAKE HIM AWAY!!!"
A few Silvermane Guards attempted to fire their Rifle... Only for March to freeze their weapons.
"Have an 'ice' day!" March told them, before entering the fragmentum.
The Silvermane Guards were shocked by them, entering the Fragmentum to evade escape...
"They charged straight in!" Pela told Bronya...
Until she noticed that Bronya was blushing.
"Um... Thank you for saving me... But... Can you please let me go...?" Bronya asked Virgilio.
"Huh? Oh. Okay."
He let go of her, and Bronya said this to Virgilio.
"While we'll be going after those three... Please, wait for me and the others to return. We'll find a way to help you three to return home."
"Um... Thanks?"
Bronya nodded and then left... But they can tell that he somehow has won her heart.
"Damn Virgilio... You charmed the Acting Commander of the Silvermane Guard... Via a Knight's Charisma." Xiuying told him.
"I know... So..."
Before Sullivan had a chance to speak, he was immediately pulled into an alley, along with Virgilio and Xiuying.
And Xiuying recognized him...
"Oh, you... MASKED FOOL SCUM!!!"
Xiuying pulled out her bloodied hand axe and was ready to cut his head off... She used to kill six Masked Fools, and Sampo will be her 7th Masked Fool kill.
"Great... It's the Maidenless Fool..." Sullivan.
"We met again, Mister Coward." Virgilio.
"It's Sampo! I can't believe you three, would forget me easily! And Lady Xiuying... Please, put that axe down..."
"NO." Xiuying with a thirst for Blood of a Masked Fool.
"You better give us a good explanation, before I sic Xiuying on you, to have your head as a trophy." Virgilio told Sampo.
"I'll explain later, but your friends are in danger... Can we please, have a truce...?" Sampo told Virgilio, but he was highly intimidated by Xiuying's Yangire stare.
[Yangire: Same as Yanderes, but not motivated by love. Utterly Chaotic and far more dangerous than Yandere.]
"... Try anything funny, and I'll turn a blind eye to Xiuying ripping your head off."
"Jeez... Okay... You'd trust a Psychopath (Xiuying) over me..."
Timeskip... In the middle of nowhere.
"We're getting closer, my colleagues!"
"Fuck me... 15th time..." Sullivan responded...
"Quiet! We're here." Virgilio.
They quickly take cover, and saw Stelle, March 7th & Dan Hang, fighting against Bronya Rand.
"Any ideas?" Sullivan asked.
"I can use my sleeping gas, my colleagues."
...
"It better be a Sleeping Gas." Xiuying, with a stern tone.
"R-Right... Ahem..."
With that...
"Ooh! Sorry, we didn't mean to interrupt the moment!~"
Sampo tossed the Sleeping Gas Bombs and it exploded, while Xiuying, Sullivan & Virgilio put their Helmet on, to filter the Gas.
"Well, now we have to carry them! Dibs on-!"
Virgilio immediately carried both Bronya and Stelle over his shoulders, while Sullivan carried March 7th like a bride.
"Not on our watch, Coward." Virgilio.
"Sorry, but you're going to be Maidenless for life." Sullivan.
"You two are so unfriendly..."
Xiuying gave Sampo, Dan Hang, and pressed her Katana on his neck. Again.
"Move. NOW."
"Ack... Even then... It rather be you two, than that psychopath..."
Both Virgilio and Sullivan followed Xiuying, who kept Sambitch as a hostage while heading to god knows where.
Underworld, Belobog, Vasche's Clinic.
"... Come on, those toys of yours aren't that dangerous."
"Uh... Then why is she hasn't woken up yet?" Sampo asked.
"Because she's sound asleep, didn't you hear her sleep talking? ...Poor child, sounded like a bad nightmare." The Woman sounded concerned to Stelle.
"Adding to that, Virgilio checked her vitals as if she's in a terrible situation..."
"What are you up to, Sampo? Why do you insist on getting caught up in Overworld affairs that have nothing to do with you? If it's a whole lot more attention from Wildfire you want, you're going about it the right way... Not only that, you turned Lady Xiuying into a Murderous Psychopath for leaving them behind like that."
"Hey now! Sampo Koski's primary concern is taking care of his friends. These guys scratched my back. How could I live with myself if I didn't scratch theirs?" Sampo defended himself.
"Yeah... I doubt that's a good thing, you bloody tosser. No wonder Virgilio trusted her than you." Sullivan added.
With that, Stelle woke up immediately and jumped out the bed. Completely fine. Sampo immediately jumped off the Window as he sensed that Xiuying was about to enter, to not be taken as a human shield or worse...
"Where's my beloved?"
"...Hey, sleepyhead, looks like you're awake. Any aches or pain?"
"I'm fine... Aside without my beloved..."
"Well, now that you're awake, you should probably try moving your limbs. I'm Natasha, a doctor in the underground. You've already spent a day in my clinic."
[Great... Now my shorts are soaked in white stuff...]
"Nice to meet you, I'm Stelle."
"Nice to meet you too, you're very polite."
Stelle then turned to Xiuying and Sullivan and said...
"Where's my beloved?"
"He's outside, buying some food... As a matter of fact... I'm getting a bit hungry..." Xiuying replied.
And then, the door opened and Virgilio came with some food.
"I've brought some groceries!~ Who's-!"
Only for Virgilio to get tackled by Stelle by the gut. Both Xiuying and Sullivan couldn't respond in time... And he was lights out.
"VIRGILIO!!!" Xiuying screamed.
"Virgilio!!! I missed you so much!!!" Stelle as she hugs a knocked-out Virgilio...
She was then bonked in the head by Natasha, she still has that smile, but her left is twitching...
"Now, I have one more patient to take care of, thank to you..."
"Don't worry, I have a Plan B." Xiuying reassures Natasha.
She took an emergency Nano Shot and injected it into his system. And then blew on his ear.
"HAH!!! Seriously, Xiuying!?" Virgilio with a blush.
"Well, gotta have to wake you up, you know." Xiuying with a smug.
"And what about Stelle!?"
"Let this be a lesson for her to wake you up."
Natasha just giggles lightly, knowing their relationship.
"Now then, you all should meet up with your friends, right?"
"Of course, Miss Natasha." Sullivan.
"Let's go, beloved." Stelle as she picked him up.
"Right... Let's go." Virgilio dusted himself and left with Xiuying and Sullivan.
"Beloved doesn't have effect anymore... Switching to Darling.~"
"Damn it, Stelle..."
And both Xiuying and Sullivan struggled to not laugh. As they're now outside of the clinic...
"They're are an interesting couple." Natasha said to herself, which caused Virgilio to sneeze.
Virgilio and his teammates, along with Stelle went to March 7th, who's having some problems with three kids.
"...So you promise that if I win hide-and-seek, you'll tell big sister March all the ins and outs."
"Yep! All the ins and outs, hehe! ...What does that mean?" A Girl with an explosive personality asked.
"Which means..."
"Which means, you tell Marchie the ins and out of the place. Without lying, of course." Sullivan finished with a simple term.
The three of them noticed that voice, and smiled.
"Cousin Sullivan!"
Then to Xiuying and Virgilio...
"Big Brother Virgilio and Cousin Xiuying too!"
"Hey, Hook!" Xiuying.
"And her sidekicks, Julian and Alina." Virgilio with a smile.
"Ah! Step... I mean, hey, guys and gal. When did you guys get here?" March 7th asked.
"Just recently." Xiuying.
"Say, where's Dan Hang?" Virgilio asked.
"No idea. Natasha told March that the Sampo the Maidenless has taken Dan Hang somewhere... He disappeared. Likely thanks to Xiuying being a huge intimidation factor." Sullivan told Virgilio.
March, Stelle, & the Moles nearly laughed, since Sullivan told them what Maidenless means. And it felt accurate.
"Not surprised, considering that he's a spineless coward too." Virgilio added.
"Enough, chit-chat! Let's go hide and seek!" Hook told them.
"How about you let us just three give it a go?" Xiuying told the Moles.
"Deal!"
"And March... Let us find them in our way." Sullivan told March.
"Okay then! Good luck!" March replied.
And after covering their eyes and counting to 50.
"Alright. Split up, folks." Virgilio told Xiuying and Sullivan, and they nodded.
She was about to go searching until she noticed a suspicious adult... And not, it's not Sampo the Maidenless by Sullivan, or Sambitch if her Biological Big Brother, Kellen, if he meets him, and after hearing her complains about him.
She went to him, and he tried to act not suspicious by whistling.
"..."
Xiuying knows that it's him... But decided to...
"So... even seen a hot girl in Military Uniform that you wanna go on a date with?~"
"Wha...? Anem! What kind of nonsense you are doing young lady! That's not courteous of you!"
Xiuying laughed and then said...
"Man, my favorite trick in the book! And your voice was too easy for me to notice, Julian!"
Julian undisguised himself, and is blushing...
"That's not funny, Big Sister Xiuying!!! And that's the 2nd time you tricked me like that!"
"It's still cute to see your face like that!~"
Then to Virgilio.
"Aha! Found ya, Hook! You left your shoetrail!"
"AH!? How can I be so careless!?" Hook with a shocked tone.
"Well then, I suppose I can teach you a few tricks after some helping around." Virgilio reassures Hook.
"You better teach me that!" Hook replies, to which Virgilio nods.
And then Sullivan.
"Found you, Young Lady."
"Hmph doesn't count unless you can answer this question." Alina replied.
"Oh? Is that so, 'Administrator' Alina? Could you give me the Rulebook for me to examine the code of conduct properly?" Sullivan tested her.
"... You got me there. You're crafty than every adult in here..." Alina sighs in defeat... Knowing the Sullivan prefers to see the truth with his own eyes.
Sullivan just chuckled.
And after regrouping...
"You guys are good at this!" Hook with an impressed tone.
"Well, we played it long before we met you three... So, we got a good amount of experience." Virgilio replied.
"That's fair enough. And Xiuying?"
"Hmm?"
"Don't do that again to Julian, will you!"
"Alright. I'll stop..." Xiuying surrenders.
"Really, Xiuying? Cleopatra Tactics again?" Virgilio sounded unamused, which caused March 7th to laugh, but to Stelle... Xiuying is on a bridge with either her love rival or a mischievous friend...
"Well... Ahem... Anyways, where's our friend? One with the Black Hair?" Xiuying then changed the topic.
"Hook saw the blue-haired guy take your dark-haired friend to the Fight Club." Hook told Xiuying.
"The Fight Club?" March 7th.
"..." Xiuying almost popped a vein when she heard of a blue-haired guy in the Underground... But resisted it, for the sake of the kids in front of her.
"I've noticed it, not too far from here. Follow me." Virgilio told everyone, and they followed him.
"Finally! A Grown-Up who's useful!" Hook with a joyful tone.
They then arrived and saw Dan Hang facing off against Fist-Shaped Automatons. Virgilio and Stelle went onto the stage to help... And took down the Automatons.
And the reason Sampo quietly left, when he spotted Xiuying in there and asked himself...
"How is she everywhere...?"
As they're heading back to the Hospital... Xiuying spotted the commotion and saw that Bronya was in trouble, against a few Vagrants.
"Shit! We got a problem!" Xiuying alerted and pointed at the area.
They all turned and...
"Damn it! Triangle Formation on Bronya!"
Virgilio, Xiuying, and Sullivan rushed there immediately, and on March 7th, Stelle, & Dan Hang caught up.
"Alright princess. Let's dispense with the pleasantries!"
As the Vagrant pulled the trigger, Virgilio quickly shielded Bronya with himself... Redirecting the death blow towards him instead... As he closed his eyes to await his death...
Only for the Bullet to be sliced into shards, and then someone appeared from the seas of butterflies.
"You dare attack someone on our turf...?"
She then landed on the ground and readied her scythe.
"Well? How about a few rounds with me?" Seele challenges the Vagrants.
"Argh, darn it! Quick-!" A Vagrant Squad Leader tried to order a retreat...
Only for Xiuying and Sullivan already have blocked off the exits, and aimed their weapons at the Vagrants.
"Not so fast." Sullivan with his Erad ready.
"Drop your weapons and hands up, now!" Xiuying yelled with her Father's EBR-800 in AR Mode, and they're forced to surrender.
"Damn it... Where did those two come from...?" One of the Vagrant muttered.
"Spineless thugs!" Seele, with an annoyed tone.
When she noticed that Xiuying and Sullivan stopped the Vagrants from escaping... She looked impressed.
"Huh. Nice catch, Liana and Conrad."
Both of them nodded but remained focused on keeping them surrendered. As the Wildfire took the Captured Vagrants away.
"Virgilio..." Bronya couldn't say anything else, as she just saw Virgilio protecting her a second time...
"... We may not know each other much... But I can't let someone like you be harmed, Lady Bronya." Virgilio being formal to her...
While he was right, his words caused her to blush and started to like him... It felt like he was her knight in shining armor.
'Damn. Xiuying's right. He rizzed Bronya, via a Knight's Route.' Sullivan's mind.
"Ahem. Are you done flirting with the Overworld's Princess, V?" Seele with an annoyed tone.
"... Rude as usual..." Xiuying muttered...
"How rude can you be, Seele? She was having her moments." Virgilio with an unamused tone.
"More like some fantasy that might never happen." Seele being blunt.
"Good lord, does every party you were in, you're such a killjoy?" Virgilio is being sarcastic...
"Is that so? You want me to kick your ass in the fight club like last time, V?" Seele challenged him.
"I wasn't prepared. So, you can try."
As both Virgilio and Seele are arguing... Hook came out of nowhere.
"Hey, Marchie?"
"Don't Virgilio only call me that!?" March 7th replied.
"Why are they arguing with one another?"
"I guess, Virgilio isn't finished with Seele, beating him in the Fight Club without any chance to prepare." March replied.
"Oh... Did they get married recently?" Hook asked.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
This caused everyone to look at Hook, completely shocked.
"Who the heck taught her that!?" Underworlder 1 (Male).
"That's not accurate..." Underworlder 2 (Male).
"... What the..." Underworlder 3 (Male).
"... Natasha is right... Who's been teaching her this?" Underworlder 4 (Female)
"Woah! Woah! Waoh! Woah! Woah...! What's with that idea, Hook!?" Sullivan.
"My dad always told me, that when a boy and a girl are angry at one another, they are married. If a Boy and A Girl argue often with one another, it means they've just gotten married."
"... What." Virgilio, couldn't believe what he just heard...
The Adults, including Dan Hang & Sullivan, facepalmed, wondering what the hell her father was teaching her. March was shocked, Stelle wasn't happy, While Xiuying's mind...
'Ara ara.~ How should I torment you today, Lieutenant Colonel?~' As she thought of new ways to make Virgilio get even more embarrassed.
"... W-W-W-W-W-WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR FATHER TEACHING YOU!? A-A-A-AND D-DON'T YOU DARE F-F-FOLLOW ME, V!!!"
Seele then runs away, blushing like a tomato.
"... Well, that's one way to make things even more awkward..." Bronya.
After a few seconds...
"You're wrong, Hook. They're not married." Stelle told Hook.
"Eh?" Hook sounded confused.
And with a blink of an eye, Stelle hugged Virgilio's right arm as March immediately took a picture.
"Because I'm the only wife that Virgilio deserves!" Stelle proclaimed.
"STELLE!!!" Virgilio screamed, now blushing like a tomato... And covering his face.
And the Underworlders laughed... And Bronya started to look jealous...
"Here we go again..." Dan Hang.
"I can bloody feel a Love Feud, incoming... Mark my words..." Sullivan...
"Even better." Xiuying with a smirk.
