Chapter 15: The Rescue Plan

After being told about the situation about Skylar by Jaime, You, Her, and Asia were all searching the premises for Lotus. From what you've seen, Jaime seemed more at ease knowing that people were now helping her with this urgent task.

Currently, the entire area was Jam-packed with all sorts of new faces. Most of their energies were fairly weak in comparison, but a handful of them actually seemed promising.

Asia: So where do you think Lotus is...?

Y/N: Last time I saw him, he was giving a tour to Simon's whole gaggle. However I noticed that they checked into their rooms a little while ago.

Jaime: What if Lotus isn't able to sense her...?

Y/N: I'm not sure...but I'm confident that he will. Even I can only currently sense beings in this respective dimension, but Lotus senses an infinite amount of life forms on the regular and can cherry pick anyone's energy that he wants.

Jaime: I hope you're right...

As you kept looking for him, you started to hear murmurs from the strangers all around you. What they said varied from person to person.

???: He's right there! That's Y/N!

???: I never thought that I'd be able to see him in person...!

???: I was expecting more honestly...

???: You know he's kind of a cutie~

That last comment had you concerned.

Y/N: Every time...

Jaime: Any sign of him?

Y/N: I'm starting to sense his energy. This way.

With that you lead the way like you always have been. Jaime and Asia followed as Lotus' energy signature was getting stronger, meaning he was close.

Y/N: I sense him nearby. Yo, Lotus! You there?! We've got a situation!

Asia: Please tell me you're there, Lotus! We really need your help!

???: Y/N? Asia? Is that you?

Surely enough, Lotus came walking around a corner shortly after you called out to him. He seemed a little exhausted.

Y/N: Hey, Buddy. I'm glad that we found you...

Lotus: Is there a problem...?

Y/N: A Big one. Jaime just told me that Skylar's been missing since the battle with Ark. I can't sense her, but if anyone can track her life energy, it would be you.

Lotus: Wait, Skylar?! That's a name I haven't heard in a long time! So she's been missing since Ark...?! That's a long time! Why didn't you tell us sooner, Jaime...?!

Jaime: Skylar's like family to me. I felt like this was a personal problem, and since you were all dealing with that Korizen guy at the time, I didn't want to put another problem on your pile...

Y/N: Don't be silly. We've all come this far, and we're all family! We're always happy to help, Jaime.

Jaime: Thanks, guys...

Lotus: Okay, I'll try to track her down, just give me a moment...hmm...HA!

Lotus suddenly flashed into his GateKeeper state violently as the entire area shook upon his transformation.

After that one rowdy moment, Lotus started radiating a calm yet intense aura. Keeping his eyes closed, he searched through the very corners of time and space to see if he could find Skylar's energy.

The three of you simply stood there in a rather awkward moment of silence as Lotus' facial expression changed for a quick moment. Eventually his eyes opened up, and all of you leaned in awaiting an answer.

Lotus: Skylar is alive.

Jaime: Thank God...

Y/N: That's our Lotus for you!

Lotus: However...that's pretty much all I can say. I couldn't find the exact location of her energy. All I know is that she is indeed alive and breathing.

Y/N: Well that brings us one step closer to solving this mystery...

Jaime: While I'm happy to hear that she's not dead, we're still practically at square one to finding her. She could be anywhere...

Lotus: Hold on...I'm picking up something...her energy signature is on the move. Here! She's here in the Celestial Realm!

Y/N: So she's alive and headed somewhere...

Jaime: That could explain why I haven't been able to find her...

Lotus: I sense that she's unconscious, but then how would she be moving...? How is her energy signature this strong if she isn't conscious...?! This doesn't make sense...

Y/N: That doesn't matter. All we know is that she's somewhere in this dimension.

Lotus: As much as I'd like to help you find her, I've been busy tending to people's needs here...

Lotus then powered down to base form. You could see a few drops of sweat running down his face.

Y/N: Are you okay...?

Lotus: Yeah, I'll live...I'm just a little tired...

Y/N: Don't stress it too much. You've already helped a bunch. We'll head out first thing tomorrow.

Jaime: What...?! We need to start looking for her now! Who knows how much time she has left!

Eye-Catch

Eye-Catch

Y/N: Everyone is quite tired after today. We need a plan, and we need to prepare for any upcoming battles that we might have to fight, and you're staying here for the night too.

Jaime: Look, I get it if you're tired, but I can't afford to just sit here on my ass when my friend needs me. You guys can catch up, but I'm going. I'm sorry.

She was about to storm off but you stopped her at the last moment by grabbing her shoulder. You could tell that she was getting annoyed, but that was the last thing on your mind.

Y/N: I admire the fact that you care for her, but my gut's telling me that you haven't gotten a lot of rest yourself lately. I'm sorry, Jaime, but I can't let you wander off into the unknown alone. I'll keep you here myself if I have to.

The tension in the air only got more and more intense as Asia started to quiver in nervousness.

Jaime looked at you with a calm yet angry look on her face. She was about to grab your hand and take it off of her shoulder when your grip then tightened in that moment.

She gritted her teeth and growled, but immediately stopped when she noticed the Omni symbol flash on your forehead for a split second. The look you were giving her become twice as sharp as she finally gave in.

Jaime: ...Fine...You Win...

With that Jaime forcefully pulled her shoulder out of your hand with a semi-guilty look on her face, sighing in defeat as you also let out a sigh of relief.

Asia: Phew...That was scary...

???: Y/N!!

All eyes were then directed towards the left as Kaminari was headed towards you, running on the side walk as he stopped like a car hitting the brakes in front of you.

Y/N: Kaminari...?

Kaminari: I heard that something's going on! I'm not sure what it is, but I wanna help!

Y/N: Wait seriously...?!

Kaminari: Midoriya and Kirishima always do the hard work by your side while I sit there and do nothing! That's gotta change! I wanna feel useful, Y'Know?

You were surprised, but happy that Kaminari was willing to lend a hand. The spark in his eyes was similar to that of Kirishima's.

Y/N: Alright. I'll fill you in later, but we head out into space first thing in the morning. Does that sound like a plan?

Jaime: Sure...

Asia: Yes!

Kaminari: Let's do it!

Y/N: We can head back to the dorms and get some rest. Today's been long.

Lotus: Good Luck, you guys. Who knows what you'll run into out there.

Y/N: I know...

With that you all headed back to the dorms. However, a couple of people who were eavesdropping on the conversation now knew what was currently going down.

??? 1:We just got here and we already have a serious situation. This could be interesting.

??? 2: What do you think...? Should we follow them...?

??? 1: Maybe. I'm curious to see what the so called "Celestial King" is capable of.

??? 2: I'm glad that we at least feel the same way.

??? 1: Then it's settled. I suggest going back to your smaller form when we do though. It will be easier for both of us.

??? 2: Alright, fine...

With that the second person shrunk down to a smaller and more simple form. Landing on the first person's shoulder as they walked off to their dorms.

??? 1: They said that they'll be leaving tomorrow morning. It shouldn't be too difficult to follow them. Maybe we could even help them if need be.

??? 2: I'm always open to lending a hand!

Anos Voldigoad and Rimuru Tempest

Time Skip

You were now in your dorm room with Yang getting settled in for the night. You had just gotten out of the shower as Yang was about take her turn in the shower. Yang, walking around in nothing but a towel that hugged her body, spoke to you before going in.

Yang: So I heard that you're going out into space.

Y/N: Yeah, we need to find Skylar...I feel guilty that we've went this long without even thinking about her...

Yang: You shouldn't think of it that way. You didn't know that she was missing. And now that you do know, you're going to do something about it.

Y/N: I guess you're right...

You then heard the sound of S/N laughing whole jumping on the bed. He was the only child in your room since Chloe and Crystal were with their mothers as well.

S/N: C'mon, Dad! Jump with me!

Y/N: Hehehe...not now, Son. Dad's a little tired...

With that Yang went and got into the shower as you got settled in with S/N. But the thought of Skylar going through some unimaginable stuff was all that was on your mind.

Y/N: I'm sorry that it took so long, Skylar. But we're coming for you! I promise!
