GammaTron: Hi there! Sorry for the long wait! Enjoy!
=We have arrived at Athens International Airport. We thank you for flying with us and hope to see you again=
"I'm actually here…" Aphrodite whispered, wearing a white sundress under a sky-blue jacket and a large sunhat, as she, Skye, Yai, Dex, Maylu, Haruka, and Lan stood outside the airport, "Oh, I've always wanted to come to Athens."
"Glad you're getting to see it for the first time as the rest of us," Maylu noted.
"A few days earlier than expected as well," Skye noted as he looked out at the pink jet on the runway, "Yai-san, how were you able to prevent any repercussions from the supersonic speeds we just travelled to get here so fast?"
"Ayano Family secret," Yai smirked.
"Fair enough," Skye shrugged before noticing two limos with the drivers outside of them, holding up signs that either read 'Sakurai and guests' or 'Oyama and guests,' "Wow. Guess the guys behind the Zeus Tournament are quick to respond."
"Better get going then," Dex noted.
"Sounds good," Yai agreed as they began to head for the limos.
"Shame I really can't take this off," Aphrodite whispered as she and Skye stayed near the back of their group, placing a hand on the rim of her hat.
"I know, dear, and I'm sorry. But it lets out a special field that prevents anyone from recognizing your unique signature from the original HEART dot Batch program," Skye explained, "I would have put it into a necklace or bracelet, but tests on those…"
"I remember," Aphrodite sighed before moving behind him to rest against him a little in their walking, "...You kinda have a lingering scent of bacon from then."
"Seriously? I thought that was gone," Skye frowned.
"It may have lessened to the point that only sharp noses can detect it," Aphrodite replied.
"True," Skye concurred, a small smile on his lips, "But that just makes things a bit more interesting with me, eh?"
"True," Aphrodite giggled, giving him a hug from behind, making sure her assets pressed firmly against him, "Better make it up to me soon, okay?" she breathed a little, her voice becoming huskier, "Preferably when we christen our room's sheets tonight? Hm, my mighty forger of Olympus?"
Skye blushed a bit while his grin got bigger, "But of course, my beloved dove of the sea." as they arrived at the limos, his thoughts began to wander, 'To think...nearly twenty years ago, I was just an apprentice and with no luck in my love life.'
[Flashback]
"Dr. Light, it's happened again."
"Oh dear. Another rampancy?" an elderly, slightly plump man asked with a frown behind his grey beard.
"Yeah," Skye nodded, his shoulder-length hair moving a bit in his nodding, "All because someone said that they loved a movie they just saw near the program."
Dr. Light sighed, "This is a nightmare. I never expected my research to be set behind so badly by something like…" he couldn't think of the word.
"Like a program going nuts because of not being able to process just one single thing?" the two turned to see a younger Yuchiro approach.
"Ah, yes. Exactly, Yuchiro. Thank you," Dr. Light thanked before sighing, "What am I going to do? With this major issue, I'm worried for the future of Network Navigators before it just even started."
Skye and Yuchiro shared looks behind Dr. Light's back. Eventually, Yuchiro walked up to Dr. Light and put a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sure we can find something, dad," Yuchiro assured, "Maybe for now, we add a line of programming to ignore the word 'love.' Have it replace 'love' with other words like 'enjoy' or 'like.'"
"Hmm...You do have a point, Yuchiro," Dr. Light agreed after a moment of thought, "Until I can figure out a way to stop them from breaking down, we'll have to add that line of programming into them." he sighed, "Thought it is with a heavy heart that I do so."
"...Dr. Light?" the two looked at Skye, "Maybe while that works for now, we can turn our thinking around."
"Turn our thinking around?" Dr. Light repeated.
"Instead of trying to make them understand love...maybe we can make them more...alive."
"Skye, you're not exactly making sense," Yuchiro sweatdropped.
"Sorry, sorry. It's just...a bit hard to get my idea out with words," Skye replied.
Dr. Light nodded, "Take a deep breath and tell me what you're thinking."
Skye nodded, taking a deep breath before speaking slower, "Well...Why not make a program that adds...more to a Network Navigator? While they look like humans...well...aside from the Mr. Progs...it's not complete."
"Skye, you're not really thinking about that old myth of Metastability, are you?" Dr. Light asked.
"Metastability?" Yuchiro repeated.
"It's a really old concept about artificial intelligence becoming akin to humans," Skye summarized, "And, yes, I am thinking of that. Isn't Dr. Wily's son doing research on the 'soul' of humans and trying to make them digital?"
"Albert's son?"
"And Yuchiro, you've recently entered a relationship with this girl in your college, right?"
"Haruka? W-Well, yes, but uh…" Yuchiro blushed.
Dr. Light's eyes widened, "Skye, are you thinking that…?"
Skye grinned, "If we study relationships and talk with him about his research on souls, maybe we can make 'human hearts and souls' for Network Navigators. A Batch program for both heart and soul."
"That...That's brilliant, Skye," Yuchiro noted before frowning, "Wait a second...You are not using Haruka for this thing."
"Ah! No, no, no. Not your relationship," Skye replied quickly, "I'm suggesting studying all kinds of relationships."
"Both good and bad?" Dr. Light questioned.
"Yeah. A sort of...balance," Skye nodded, "To let them understand and choose their ways of life."
"That...That's actually not a bad idea. If they know what bad relationships are, they won't get confused and have a chance of rampancy when they see it," Yuchiro tapped his chin.
"Well, boys, I'll leave your planning to you both. Until we can start it, I'll need to start writing that 'love aversion' program for the Network Navigators," Dr. Light noted as he walked off to his lab.
[End Flashback]
"These are the keys to your hotel rooms," a man in a black uniform informed as he handed Skye, Haruka, and Maylu three cards, "A spare is in your rooms on the nightstand in them. Once you arrive, you'll need to speak to a representative for the tournament to be given your Extra Folder filled with blank chips to be filled with your own programming or replaced with purchased BattleChips."
"Thank you," Maylu thanked before the three Sakurai entered one limo as Yai, Dex, and the two Hikari got in the other.
"So what are you planning on doing?" Skye asked.
"Well...Maybe a mix of bought chips and ones that are homemade," Maylu replied, "It's been working for Roll and I so far."
"Excellent," Skye nodded, "That way they'll know some of what you can do, but also be caught off-guard by your customized ones. My best advice when it comes to customized chips? Only make three from the Death Battle videos."
"Huh?"
"Well...I may or may not have been uploading videos of your NetBattles of you using them," Aphrodite admitted.
"Sis!"
"I was trying to save them in a file, but I uploaded them by mistake," Aphrodite blushed, "It's actually difficult to do it when you're not using your noggin as a Network Navigator-turned-human inside of the computer itself."
Maylu sighed, slumping a bit, "It's fine, Onee-chan." she tapped her cheek, "Still...what to make then…"
"Well, why not that girl I dressed as for Halloween?" Roll asked, appearing on Maylu's shoulder, "Aside from the temporary dye job, I liked dressing up as her and her fight in that Death Battle was awesome."
"True," Maylu nodded, "We have one, maybe two if we keep her arsenal separate from the chip."
"And your third one?" Skye asked, "You've got something to make you stronger the longer you're in the fight and a weapon that goes well with that, but what will the third chip be?"
"We could either make it work with what we have for the first two...or do something unexpected," Maylu replied.
"Excellent," Skye grinned, "People tend to think of what compliments other chips, like making Program Advances and the like, but they never think of what to do if someone plays unexpectedly."
"Uh-huh," Maylu nodded.
"Mega and Lan are really good at coming up with convoluted strategies that work out in the end," Roll giggled before frowning, "Though, they may be helping Dex along with Yai."
"No girl power for this?" Aphrodite asked.
"More like one hiding from the other because of a game series Yai is reviving for NetNavis to play," Maylu replied.
"I can never look at an animal-based robot the same ever again! Especially if it involves a pizzeria!" Roll shuddered with wide eyes, "And don't get me started on scooping devices! I am not going anywhere near one willingly for a few months!"
"Well, I have all the episodes that I managed to salvage on hand," Skye noted as he held up a disc with a gem in the center before putting it on the table; he clapped and the gem lit up, displaying a holographic screen, "We never did watch the ones after Season 3, now did we?"
"Oh yeah!" Roll beamed before looking at the list, "Hey! This one involves that super fighting robot that Lan has a poster of!"
"Which means we could make a chip based off it as a gift to Lan," Maylu noted, "But I don't think it'd be a good idea for the tournament."
"True...But I still wanna watch it!" Roll beamed.
"Okay, okay," Skye chuckled, "I'll make some popcorn and download some digital popcorn for Roll and we'll start watching them all. Make sure you both take notes, Maylu, Roll."
"Hai!" both beamed.
"Oh mom…" Rock groaned.
"I guess she's not used to saving things outside of a computer," Yai noted.
"True. Though the chips are kinda neat," Dex admitted as the four humans, one Metastable NetNavi, and two customized NetNavis were watching the recent upload made by Aphrodite under the Sakurai's YouTube page.
"Though with Skye here, she'll most likely make brand new ones that aren't these," Lan noted.
"That's mostly a relief, I process," Glyde noted as he watched Maylu insert a chip and Roll breathe in and exhale a red beam of atomic energy that vaporized a massive swarm of viruses...in the UnderNet, "Many of these are rather extreme in terms of power."
"Extreme nothing. Maylu absolutely refused to make Battlechips involving certain ones because of how damaging they'd be for Roll," Rock noted, "That and healing abilities. Roll hates healing chips."
"True...When it comes to her healing abilities, she has...an ego, doesn't she?" Yai noted.
"Blame Dad," Rock snorted, "He made her with advanced healing programs. Only way she'd be accepting any healing chips would be if you could fully negate her natural healing abilities." he looked up from his thinking posture, "And before anyone tries to imply anything involving Roll and I, physical is actually the last thing on our minds in what we do. Both of us talk more and try to be ourselves with one another. Uh, Glyde? Gutsman? Turn off your audio receptors for a few moments? Please?" a pair of beeps and Rock saw their helmets turn black momentarily before he gave a nod of thanks, "We both agreed that we want to be with each other because of who we are and not just build it on sex. That is a guarantee that a relationship will fall if 'making love' is just the basis."
Haruka nodded in silent agreement on that, 'It shouldn't be like what Yuchiro and I had either…' she sighed, 'Oh, Yuchiro, what happened?'
[Flashback]
"How many hours did we just go through on relationships?"
"Not counting movies on the subject or the courses on relationship counselling?"
"Counting them."
"780 hours…" Skye replied.
"Well over a month," Yuchiro sighed as he looked at the two computers filled to the brim with their research, "Now we have to work on turning this research into actual programming."
"...We weren't supposed to do that while compiling it?"
"...Excuse me?"
"I've been turning all the research into a working program for a NetNavi's AI the entire time we've been working on this," Skye explained as he pulled out a tablet and turned it on, showing the program in question.
"..." Yuchiro groaned while hitting his head on his desk.
"What's wrong? I mean, I did it that way to keep track of any issues that may or may not happen in the program once it was complete," Skye spoke.
"Excellent work, Skye," the two jumped and turned to see Dr. Light walking in, "Always trying to plan ahead for complications." he looked over at Yuchiro, "Yuchiro, excellent work as well on getting all of this. Don't think I don't see those small notes of how you felt around Haruka right there." Yuchiro and Haruka blushed as he chuckled, "Well, boys, let's get moving on to making that program." a ringing went off, "Oh. Just a minute, boys."
"...Why did you ask how long we were working on this?" Skye asked once Dr. Light left.
"Well…" Yuchiro chuckled sheepishly before holding a bulky PeT up, showing an annoyed younger Haruka on the screen, wearing a blue jacket over a pink shirt and her hair pulled into a braided ponytail, "Haruka called and was curious."
=So that's why you were in that office so much, Yuchichi= Haruka noted =Mou...Why didn't you tell me sooner? I thought there was something wrong like depression and you made me worry for nothing!=
"Ack! Gomen! Gomen nassai!" Yuchiro apologized feverishly.
[End Flashback]
"Kaa-san!" Lan called, waving a hand in front of her face.
"Oh!" Haruka gasped, snapping out of her thoughts, "Gomen nassai. Was just thinking of something."
"Well, Rock and I were wondering if you wanted to look around the city," Lan noted, motioning to the vacant suite, "Dex and Yai already left to get some chips for Dex's Tournament Folder."
"O-Oh!" Haruka blinked twice before smiling, "Of course, Lan. That sounds lovely. Though, why didn't you go with them?"
"Lan and I talked and we wanted to spend time with you," Rock replied, appearing on Lan's shoulder.
"..." she smiled at the two, "Thank you."
"Mou…" Aphrodite pouted cutely on her and Skye's bed in the suite.
"Can't stand being in Greece without getting to see the sights, huh?" Skye noted as he tinkered with something at the desk.
"Of course!" Aphrodite replied, "Honey, you know how much I've dreamed of being here! But now that I'm here…" she sighed, putting a hand on her forehead, "I can't even truly embrace it."
"..." Skye put his tool and what he was working on down, a small smile on his lips, "Aphrodite…" he walked over and sat down by her, gently ushering the hand on her forehead down to between them and into his other hand, "Before we get on the plane for home, you will get to be in Greece and not just be in Greece."
"...Wh-heh-what?"
"Where are we, Aphrodite?"
"Greece."
"No, no, no. Where are we right now?"
"...A suite in one of the fancier hotels," Aphrodite replied.
"Yes. We may be in Greece, but we are not in Greece," Skye nodded as he looked out the window, "We're not out there, enjoying the sights, breathing the air, having a chance to truly live." he looked back at Aphrodite, "What matters most to me is you, Aphrodite, and your happiness."
"Oh, Skye…" Aphrodite blushed before kissing his cheek, "Thank you for that."
"For you? Anything," Skye pulled her into his lap.
"Eek! Oh Skye~!" Aphrodite squealed, wrapping her arms around his neck and bending a bit to press her ample bosom into his chest instead of his face, "Any idea how long we have 'till they come back? I'm hoping for a bit of a... 'quick one' if you know what I mean."
"As much as I'd love to give you the satisfaction you rightfully deserve, my beloved dolphin, we can't," Skye replied before they heard the door open, "Saw her coming this way when I looked out the window."
"We're back!" Roll called as Aphrodite slid out of Skye's lap.
"Welcome back, sweeties," Aphrodite greeted as she got up and walked over to Maylu, giving her a hug, "Oh, I just love being able to give you hugs!"
Maylu giggled as she gave a one-armed return hug, the other filled with a bag, "Love you, too."
"So you got everything you need for the Tournament Folder?" Skye asked.
"Yep," Maylu nodded as she handed Skye the bag.
"...Oh. Very nice selection," Skye noted as he looked through them, "And some of them are blanks as planned."
"Yep. I'm going to make some to work with Rush."
"Vee?" Rush poked her head up from her normal spot on Roll.
Roll turned about in her bed. At the foot of the bed, Rush was curled up into a tiny ball and sound asleep unlike her owner. Roll looked out at the screen showing the human world to see that Skye, Aphrodite, and Maylu were all sound asleep. Waving a hand, a digital clock display appeared reading it was one in the morning. Sighing in a bit of frustration, she dismissed it while getting up. She tied on a fluffy sleeping robe and a pair of pink sandals. She displayed a message on the screen, explaining she was going to see Rock, before she left the PeT and into the hotel's network. It was something of interest when compared to normal networks. It was actually a complete duplicate of the actual hotel, but the hallways were taller and wider due to varying heights of different NetNavis. Walking down a few doors, she arrived at the network entrance for where the Hikari family was staying at the hotel. She smiled a little, remembering that Rock had sent her the password for access to their hotel room's network like she did with the one for the Sakurai family. She entered the password and she was teleported into the network.
She took several steps inside before she picked up on a soft whimpering. Following it, she arrived at the bed where Rock-wearing a pair of dark-blue pajamas-was tossing and turning in bed. He whimpered under his breath with each toss and turn, a cold sweat going down his face. Her eyes widened as she realized that Rock was having a nightmare, a violent one at that. Moving quickly and quietly, she soon reached the bed and, managing to avoid waking him up, got into it and slid an arm over him, his head resting on her chest. After several tense moments, Rock's tossing and turning slowly stopped as he leaned into her in his now peaceful slumber. Roll rested her chin on her boyfriend's head as she son fell asleep as well. Unnoticed by either in their slumber, a pink glow and a blue glow emanated from each other, mingling together before fading.
=HELLO~~~ LADIES~ AND~ GENTLEMEN~! I'm your roving international reporter Ribitta Kero Midorikawa, reporting here live from the Panathenaic Stadium here in Athens, Greece for the Zeus Tournament!= a brown-haired woman in a green frog-themed hat and a yellow blouse greeted on the screens set up on drones =Sponsored by Olympus Corp! Remember, if it's not from Olympus, it's not from the divine! And here to welcome everyone in the audience here and our competitors is the CEO of Olympus Corp, Arin Deus!=
"Warararararar! Welcome one and all to this momentous occasion for those lovers of NetBattles!" a pleasantly plump older man with rich tanned skin and his sleek black hair pulled back into a ponytail and wearing a red and gold business suit called with a hearty laugh, "I welcome all our contenders in the final round and am pleased as punch that we have such a diverse group! Your final round is a full on NetBattle Tournament here in Panathenaic Stadium! With some recent donations, we've upgraded the stadium to have its own unique site which is an exact replica of the entire stadium!" he leaned down a bit, adjusting the monocle on his left eye, "Now I'm sure you're all wondering 'President Deus, why is that important to mention?' Well, that's because we have holographic projectors set up to shine down on the arena itself! That's right! You will be seeing our competitors do battle in the stadium itself!"
"Aw man…" Yai and Lan groaned at Haruka's sides in the stands.
=It's okay, Lan= Rock noted =I don't think I'd be comfortable doing this. At least, not just yet. When the next tournament happens that we can get into, I think I'll be ready and we'll win=
=Hmm...Lady Yai, I am processing that the R & D department could utilize these for that VR Headset data that was discovered and is being processed at the moment for NetNavi utilization for entertainment= Glyde noted.
"...Good point, Glyde," Yai agreed after a moment of thinking, "We could even use the FNaF games for it. Maybe that Ultimate Custom Night one that we recently obtained..."
"Maylu, I'm worried now about you and Yai being together in the same room for the next game night," Roll whimpered, wearing a pink cloak over her body.
"I'm sure it will be okay, Roll," Maylu whispered in assurance.
'Famous last words…' Roll thought.
"Come on, sweeties, you can win this!" Aphrodite cheered, waving a pink foam finger at the holographic screen before her and Skye on the bed in their hotel room.
"Here's hoping they can. It's going to be quite interesting seeing them seemingly using everything there in the real world but is actually in the cyber world merely projected onto the field," Skye admitted.
"Darling."
"Yes?"
"Focus on cheering and not the technology please?"
"Of course, my divine dove."
=And our roulette has just selected our first two battles! Maylu Sakurai and Roll EXE VS Antonov Driouch and Bombardman EXE!=
"EEEEEE! GO, GIRLS!" Aphrodite cheered.
At several areas of the stadium, spotlight-like objects began to shine down on the field. Maylu and a large burly man stood on the top of a platform in the very center of the arena before the holographic projectors transformed the built raised platform into a tower. The two jacked in their NetNavis and Roll appeared on one side of the arena, still cloaked. On the other side was a large burly male NetNavi with a bear head wearing wrestling gold tights, black and gold boots, and gold spiked bands on his wrists. He sported a mohawk while a grizzly bear NetNavi Emblem was on the bulky black torso armor. Bombardman roared while flexing his muscles. Roll reached up and took off her cloak.
She wore her normal bodysuit, however she had added on some new items. She now wore rose-colored torso armor, gauntlets, and boots with blue gems on the sides of the boots, the back of her fists, and directly over her heart area, the blue chest gem even shaped like a heart with her fake NetNavi Emblem covered by the gem. She wore a rose-colored version of her old helmet while she still sported her new antennae on her lower arms. A fake blond bunny tail twitched just above her bottom while Rush, wearing rose-colored armor as well, gave a squeaky growl on Roll's shoulder.
"Bombardman smash puny girl!" Bombardman roared.
"Well...someone speaks works than Gutsman before we met Glyde," Roll noted.
"Vui?" Rush tilted her head at her owner.
"Trust me, it was just as bad," Roll assured, petting her pet's head.
=Alright! Hope everyone's ready! Roll VS Bombardman! BEGIN!= Ribitta ordered.
Bombardman roared, opening the fight with a charging tackle. Roll jumped to the side at the last moment, letting him crash into a stand of weights. Bombardman roared as he threw several of them at her. Rush cried out and fired a barrage of stars from her mouth that knocked several of them out of the air. Roll's antennae on her helmet and lower arms twitched before they caught the remaining four disc-shape weights before throwing them back at Bombardman. The bulky NetNavi roared as he spun around, backhanding the thrown weights away.
"Shadow Ball!" Roll called.
"Ee-VUI!" Rush cried out, firing the sphere of darkness at Bombardman, who punched it and made it explode.
"Bombardman smash y…" Bombardman began before seeing Roll was gone, "Huh? Where did puny girl go?"
"Ahem. 'Puny girl' as you call it happens to know how to find good deals," Roll's voice spoke.
Bombardman turned around in time to be smashed in the face by a massive blue/steel sledgehammer decorated in spikes. He roared out in pain as he was sent flying through the air, peppered with Shadow Balls fired by Rush on her shoulder during his knockback.
=Whoa! Guess she found the special shop that was selling the commemorative Zeus Hammer BattleChip for the tournament!= Ribbita exclaimed as Bombardman crashed down well away from them.
"RAWRG!" Bombardman roared as his NetOp inserted two chips into his PeT that formed massive blasters on his shoulders and over his lower arms, "BOMBARDMAN OBLITERATE!"
The audience let out cries of fright and shock at the massive blast of energy that erupted from the blasters that wiped out the entire side of the arena Roll had been on. The attack ended, leaving nothing except for a hole. Bombardman panted as his weapons vanished, revealing his arms and shoulders were glowing red and steam was hissing off them.
"That's quite a drawback. Then again, the attack was quite powerful," Skye noted, "Against any other NetNavi, that would have been instant deletion."
"But against our adorable Rolly-Polly and her cute little Rush..." Aphrodite giggled as Roll erupted out of the ground behind Bombardman, her armor transformed to resemble an Eevee in both design and coloration, "...No sell."
"WHAT?!" Bombardman gasped, turning around just in time for Roll to slam a drill with orange plating that covered her right arm through his chest, tearing him apart.
=AND THAT'S KO!= Ribitta cheered as the monitors showed Bombardman's image fading to grey and move offscreen to let Roll's image move to the center =WINNER OF THE FIRST MATCH: ROLL!=
"Yatta!" Roll cheered, her temporary Eevee tail wagging happily.
"Phew...She did it," Rock sighed in relief.
"Alright, girls!" Lan cheered.
"Phew...Good thing we got an easy opponent," Maylu whispered in relief as Roll logged out.
"Hai. It'd be harder if we showed off all our tricks," Roll agreed as she split from Eevee and cuddled the tiny creature.
"Vui!" Rush mewled happily.
"Still...One down, several more to go," Maylu noted.
=AND GUTSMAN WINS! With that, the first round of the finals of the Zeus Tournament are done!= Ribitta declared =And now, before we sign off for the day, a word from the man behind the tournament!=
=Wararararararar! Thank you, Ms. Ribitta!= Arin Deus thanked with a hearty laugh =Congratulations to those of you moving on tomorrow! All of them were simply wonderful-if sometimes short-NetBattles of sheer amazement! Now then, tomorrow you won't be fighting like today, oh no! Tomorrow it will be a roulette wheel that decides who you fight! And since we cut you in half in just one day, tomorrow you'll be fighting in two battles should you win the first battle! So rest up and be ready for tomorrow, my good contestants! And may the victor be declared the King of the Gods! WARARARARARARAR!=
=That's all tonight, folks! I'm your announcer, Ribitta, signing off for tonight!= Ribitta declared.
"That was great, you two!" Maylu beamed as Dex walked over.
"Yeah, we know!" Dex chuckled.
"Gutsman is great, guts!" Gutsman declared, flexing.
"You two did great in the first match of the day, too," Dex continued.
"Thanks!" Maylu beamed.
"It wasn't that much," Roll noted, sheepishly rubbing the back of her head while Rush snoozed in her favorite spot.
"Would you care to join us for dinner at the hotel?" Haruka offered.
"I'm going to be buying for everyone since you both won the first round of the finals!" Yai explained.
"Sounds good to me!" Dex replied, "Are you bro and sis joining us, Maylu?"
"I'm not sure," Maylu replied.
"Considering that it's in the hotel, of course," Aphrodite replied on the SubPeT.
=Great!= Maylu beamed.
"We'll see ya down there," Skye added, "Love you, baby sis."
=Love you, too=
"Guess we'll have to get ready now," Aphrodite noted.
"Seems like," Skye agreed.
"Care to join me in the shower?" Aphrodite offered, winking at him..
"Don't mind if I do," Skye replied before kissing her cheek as he stood up from the small table in the room.
The two walked to the bathroom, hands held together. Since the computer couldn't connect to the internet, Skye had left it open. On the screen displayed the remains of a NetNavi. It was tall with orange skin with lime green/yellow armor and a black bodysuit littered in clocks. It was currently transforming into something that couldn't be fully made out. Above it read 'CMEXE Data remnants - AntiCMEXEBC Conversion: 35 percent.'
Gammatron: Sorry for the long wait. Busy with real life and other stories. Getting back into this since there's possibly three or so chapters left of the OLYMPUS Arc of this story.
