Chapter 18:
Anarista & The Goddess of Night

"...Incredible." Ingo mused as he investigated the clock further, not only that she didn't have any numbers on it, there was also something with this clock that has bother him quite some time. As would the clock somehow react to him or want to talk to them.

As Kaithlyn and Anais were talking about what just happened, Ingo fall the decision to find some proofs for his strange feeling about the clock and so he made something what would be impossible for a normal human being. He first extended his right arm into the clock and then his whole body...

"Kaithlyn! Kaithlyn! Look at this!" A old man voice suddenly interrupted the both girls in their chit-chat and so they waved around, only to see an old man who looked at them.

"I'm the GOD OF TIME!" Ingo said as he hung half out of the clock and looked like an old man with long white hair and a very long white beard.

"KYYYYYYAAAAAAAA!" Kaithlyn and Anais suddenly screamed in panic, until they realized that it was Ingo who hung out of the clock.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, IGI!?" Kaithlyn respond as she realized that this old man was her brother. "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?"

"WHERE IS THAT OLD GEEZER COMING FROM!?"Anais yelled in panic too...

"Eh...?"Ingo who realized that he gone too far again, decided to move away from the clock and as he did so, the both girls got wide eyes.

Ingo's body suddenly came out of the clock and he was young again. "You can't touch this clock. Look at what happens when I touch it... See?"Ingo said as he stood in front of Kaithlyn and moved his right arm trough the clock, his hand came out of the top and was all of a sudden very old and rusty...

"WAH! Your hand passed trough...!?"Kaithlyn respond shocked and surprised in the same time as she saw the right metal hand of her brother full of torn silk and rust...

"It seems that the only person who can touch this clock is Anais." He explained to her as Anais hug the clock as was she a friend

"Eh!?" Kaithlyn didn't understand it and she normally was the brightest of the both.

"Well you see that rewinding of time before, and now this... It's all proof enough to tell there is no mistake, it must be this clock. It is like this illusion that we saw in the Amara Desert with the oasis and the orphanage. It seems that this clock is one of the gates but it just work in one direction, just like in the Vulcan and on the oasis..." Ingo explained as he remembered the other gates that he and his sister found.

But he found this one strange, there was something else in the clock that gave him chills down his spin. Anais and Kaithlyn watched stunned at him as he explained everything.

"And to add this clock is what has caused Gainos to become a trap for everyone. I just don't understand why it happen now and not to a earlier time..." Ingo respond as he tried to figure out why the time rewind themself now...

"Re...Really?"Anais respond as she look at him and then back to the clock. She couldn't believe that the clock was responsible for that... "Don't... Don't tell me you're going to break it...? My only friend..." Anais suddenly respond as she realized that her clock was fault and that her both guests would destroy the clock to bring everything back to normal. But since the clock was the only thing that remind her on Amara, she would never allow this agenda...

"CALM DOWN." Ingo and Kaithlyn respond in union as they saw that Anais tail and ear stuck up and that she was holding her scepter in front of them. She was ready to defend her precious clock.

"But Anais are you sure you don't have any big concerns in your heart? There must be a reason, why the clock become this way."Kaithlyn asked suddenly as she remembered her other self that appeared earlier and told her that her reflection is a Living Weapon, awoken trough the concerns in her heart. "Try to remember what happened on the real 1st may?" She asked Anais and both saw that she sunk into deep thought, but Ingo didn't understand what Kaithlyn mean with concerns in someone hearts...

After a few minutes Anais begun to speak... "...That day was... as I was fired from the library..."Anais said and as Ingo heard this he got a shock and just thought that this was the reason for the rewinding day? That she lost her job?
"You see I was so happy that I found a job and had everything that would me happy... but than I was fired I sat with my back against the clock and wished that the world would end and that the next morning would never come..." Anais respond with her ears and tail down...

As the both teens this heard they screamed and pointed their finger on her. Both of them could no longer believe what she said. "... Maybe that's why...?" Ingo and Kaithlyn started to whisper and draw Anais attention.

"Huh...?"

"It's definitely that. Don't you remember what I told you about that strange being that said he would show us our wish?"Ingo suddenly said and Anais was now confused, she was aware of it that the both came from another world but she didn't know what this strange being was that Silver mean. "Now I finally understand why those gates not work... They grant someones wish and refuse then to open the gate to another world... And it seems that this gate granted Anais wish!?" Ingo respond shocked as the result of all the gates that the both found hit his brain...

"WHAAAAAT!? It can't be it was just whining... And besides how could a clock do something like THAT!?" Anais respond in a big whine and Kaithlyn suddenly had an idea and so she asked Anais.

"Anais, could it be that you found a prism stone...?"Kaithlyn asked and could see that in her face were big question marks.

"EH!? WHAT FOR REAL!?"Ingo yelped with surprise on Kaithlyns question

"What for a stone? A prism stone?"Anais respond still with a big question mark on her head.

Kaithlyn saw this of course and begun to think that she maybe was wrong, but she suddenly grabbed Anais shoulder and begun to yell at her in a calm and gentle voice and Ingo was still looking at the both with a blockhead expression.

"Anais! Try to tell the clock or whatever it is to stop the anomalies." Kaithlyn respond and saw that Anais was still confused, but she turned around and put her hands against the clock and started to sing her next words.

"O~Clock, O~Clock~~ Please, turn back time now~~"

Anais felt herself like an idiot. But, since she was used to perform a spell, it was no problem for her, but all that talking about a prism stone, a portal that grant someones wish and that her clock would be the reason for that, was too much for her to take. Any normal human would ignore her now, but nobody of the tree was normal anyways...

As she was done with her little magic lullaby she could hear that the newspaper went trough the door and that the both teens run to it and smashed with their side against each one as they open the news paper and begun to read it. But it just gave them the proof that it was not that easy to solve this mystery over Gainos...

"It... is still... the 1st may..." Both respond sulking and turned to the other one's face. "I see..." They respond and the room was suddenly dark and full of depressing emotion that came from them and Anais she was melodramatic...

"OKAY! Let's think this trough one more time..." Ingo spoke full of confidence and was ready to solve this mystery.

He was so full of spirit that he totally forgot to check on the others...

On the next seven days, it was still the 1st may, for the 11th time. And on each reversed day the both had to meet up with the others and to introduce Anais from new. And of course they weren't happy at all about the new girl, because everyone thought that they had another person to deal with that wanted him for her. But they didn't know that Anais prefer girls over boys. But the worse was that Ingo and Kaithlyn were fired from the City Guard and the reason for this was some unallowed actions... Both were shocked about that and felt betrayed and even Maes didn't done anything against it. Discouraged, the girls tried to cheer up the both with an invitation to dinner. But it wasn't that easy for Silver. He didn't wanted to take that invitation from them, because he was still worried about the demons in human form. And so he run away from everyone and catched up later on with Kaithlyn and Anais, who were waiting in her apartment...

Since both would remember what would happen during the day and didn't had enough money on them, they decided to seek a work. But this wasn't easy at all either. Anais was fired over and over, because she wasn't a human being, they thought she was a half-breed. Kaithlyn wasn't successfully either. She was always and somehow trapped in a sexual harassment from the customer. They fondle her butt or grabbed her breasts, and the reason for this was that she was to cute, pretty and sexy in that maid uniform that she got for her job from Airi...

And Ingo... Well he didn't had much luck either he was forced to have sex with the girls... more or less...
It was not that he didn't wanted to do it. It was more that his worries stopped him to enjoy it... if you could enjoy it being raped from beautiful girls... and it was first a date and turned in the end to a forceful, no, let's call it, he was more overwhelmed to have sex with them...

On the first day of those seven days it was a romantic date with Leina. The funny thing was, she wore a set of normal cloths not her skimpy and revealing armor outfit. On the second day, he was busy with escaping from Irma and run somehow in the arms of Alleyne. She then decided to help him and hide him behind a bush, but she didn't let him go afterwards...

Alleyne decided to give in into her feelings and urges, she no longer wanted to be called the one thousand-year old virgin from Echidna and so she pushed him against a tree and started to kiss him and sunk with him on the ground...

Since the day was repeating themself the whole sex thing was gone too. So he was by the begin of a new day once again a virgin, just like the others. But it was more complicated than it was... because he could remember "it" and the others not...

Everything turned back as usually, but the money that they got was still there and so Kaithlyn came up with an idea. Only one person should work and the other both should seek for the demons and for a clue how they could solve this anomaly. But since Kaithlyn and Anais had bad luck, they gave Ingo the job as a waiter in a restaurant. First he found it not bad, despite that it was a woman evening and nobody asked for his service. Because how it was the woman thought he was a girl and it was the first time in his live that being called a girl wasn't pissing him off. But suddenly he should go into a room and take the order of two customer and give them some Sake from Hinomoto. As he went into the room and bow his head to the ground, to show his respect to the customer, he heard a gasp of two girls and so Ingo turned his head to the gasps and was surprised too. The both female customer were Tomoe and Shizuka...

First he wanted to run out of the room, but he decided to stay professional and put the tablet with the Sake which they ordered on the table. He eventually hold the tablet against his chest and asked what they want more. And as usually Shizuka made one of her jokes... or was she serious...?

"A hot and steamy threesome!" Shizuka said as she drunk her Sake and saw that Tomoe begun to lough with a bright red face.

It seemed for him that Tomoe couldn't take much Sake then she already looked like as was she drunken from one glass. But maybe it was just his imagine... At last he hoped for it...

"No, just kidding. Just bring us more of this good stuff and something to eat." Shizuka respond as she begun to giggle about Tomoe, which fall backwards to the ground and stared at Ingo's red face. She found it rather cute that his face was red...

The reason for his red face was that Tomoe's miko outfit already revealed her chest and gave him a nice and deep look into her cleavage, where he could see her fairly white skin...

As he came back the both girls were nearly naked and invited him to drink with him some of the Sake. First he wanted to decline the offer and turn around, but he was thirsty and hungry... And as they gave him some water and something from the food, he accepted the invitation. But his fear that this was a trap that would him guide to have sex with them was still there... They maybe made some drink game and the loser was always Ingo. And he then had to drink the Sake out of Tomoe's and Shiuzka's lap... But nothing really happened, only that Shizuka hold his head and pushed his face deeper in her lap as Tomoe was already knocked out and she entrusted her body to him...

"... You know... Tomoe-sama loves you too... that's why I waited until she fall asleep..." Shizuka said as she hug him tight

"S-Shizuka... wait I..." He said but before he could end his words Shizuka pushed her lips onto his and slid gently with him to the ground...

But it didn't took long until Shizuka waved her head to the sleeping Tomoe. Shizuka know that she was just playing the sleeping beauty and so Shizuka stood up from him and dragged him to her. He then saw that Tomoe's body suddenly started to tremble as Shizuka gently caress her friends soft fair skin.

It doesn't took long until Tomoe opened her eyes and blushed strong as she looked at Shizuka and at him. Tomoe made the first move and hugged him with a kiss on his lips as Shizuka stripped the rest of her friends cloths...

On the other days could Ingo meet one of the Raptors again, but this one was strange she was walking trough the streets as would she seek something or wait for someone. But soon as he heard someone crying out for help, the Raptor looked at him and before Ingo could talk with him or her, it walked off and so Ingo run towards the voice and found a small boy in front of some ugly and evil goons. Ingo know that boy from somewhere, but couldn't tell from where...

And right now on the 7th day he had a good look on the girls which were seeking him once again... He and Anais had a good look on them, to be exact.

"Come one, Come all~~"Anaise was singing again in front of many adults and children, which attention were going to a masked performer who balanced one two balls with one leg and juggled with balls and swords in his hands.

"Please come everyone to the reopening of the Queens Blade Tournament! The ticket's are cheap and if you buy two, you get a special figure as extra. Ticket's anyone?" Anaise sung with her beautiful voice and waved with the posters around as the children were cheer on the clown...

"Amazing... I never saw someone doing this with just one leg and on two balls..." The female voice of Leina said as she was watching the clown stunned...

"I'm more worried about those vulgare figure... and were is Ingo?" Alleyne respond unimpressed and worried...

"Why do you care...?" Leina suddenly asked in a bad mood and crossed arms...

On this respond, Alleyne had to giggle and turned with a challenging look on her face to Leina. "I'm just saying." Alleyne respond ignoring the sweatdrop of the others that stood around them.

For the others was it embarrassment that they still react like this. As would nobody know that the both like him... After more nagging between the two a blade fall between the two and separated them. As they fall on the ground with their butt, both of them turned pissed and a little shocked to the clown and thought that this freak did it on purpose. Leina was shocked because she lost the present that she bought for Ingo and Alleyne had once again a bad impression of the humans...

But thanks to Airi, Leina found the present that she bought. It was a small dagger with a dragon and wolf image on it. But before someone could complain a voice draw their attention.

"GOOD JOB! GOOD JOB! You can take a break now." A male voice suddenly appeared from the side of the both performer and draw Leina's attention.

Leina know that roundly small guy. His name was Hans. He sold her that dagger and asked her to pose for him, because he wanted to make a small figure of her. She found him very vulgare and smacked him one for asking her to take off her armor. She only would let one person asking her to do that...

But Hans attention was only on the both performer and before Leina or anyone else could listen they got dragged away from Sylphi, who was suspicious quiet as was she waiting for something or someone...

"Good, you both are very good! Those tickets and figures are selling really nicely."Hans respond to the young performer with the mask, which was a giant pumpkin. "If you keep this up, I'll will hire you permanently! What I'm saying you are already hired permanently! And say again a big thank you to your sister, boy. Her figures are already sold... I can't keep up with making them..." Hans said as he pound his hand up and down on the boys shoulder.

"Really?" He asked and rub embarrass his pumpkin head, but before he could say more a new voice call out to him and so he turned his head to the voice...

"Ingo!" A young female voice appeared and it sounded very familiar and tired in the same time.

Of course it was his sister Kaithlyn. She just came out of the store from the backdoor and called after her brother, she wore a dark cloak to hide that she was exhausted but Ingo could see that she was really tired. And so both of them walked to her in the side street.

"Well? How is work?" Kaithlyn asked and sat down on some wooden boxes.

"Thanks to you and our hard work, he already hired us permanently..."Ingo respond as he sat down next to his sister

"Really!?" Kaithlyn respond somewhat relieved and put her earned money to that of her brothers...

Both saw the other one into the eyes and as they both turned their head away, a big sigh escaped from their lips...

"We haven't heard or seen anything from the demons or those raptors... And we still don't know how to end this spell over Gainos. Let's hope it all goes well..." Ingo said trough his pumpkin head.

"Um... yeah..."

"I said that last time too, right..."

"Yeah..."

Ingo saw that his sister was somewhat depressed and so he decided to give her a private street performance to cheer her up. After all that was the duty of a big brother... So he looked around and saw some props from Hans stores that he could use. First he begun to juggle with some small balls, first he wanted to use the knifes that lay there but he know that would made Kaithlyn just worried and she would be scarred that he could cut himself and so he took the multicolored balls.

As he did so, he saw that Kaithlyn was watching his performance and had a bright cheerful smile on her face. Kaithlyn know that her brother was skilled in all what he did, the only thing in what he was bad at was cooking. And still Kaithlyn was wondering where he learned those skills. She never saw him before doing this.

"Actually Igi, you're really good at street performance. When did you learn it?" Kaithlyn asked as her brother stood with his hands on one of the balls.

"When we were separated, Master- our uncle forced me to work to pay back his debts and by this work I met all kind of different people who taught me some tricks." Ingo respond "I actually thought I would never have to use them again."

"So you must have seen many different countries? We saw a few countries after you saved me but to see other countries and travel between them sounds so nice!" Kaithlyn respond with her hands clap together. Ingo could see that she was again in one of her day dreams and he have to say that she was pretty cute in such a mood...

"It maybe sounds nice, but we barely got by~~ What have you actually done in that one year... I can remember how I found you there, but I never asked before..." Ingo respond with a slight hint of selfishness.

"I actually tried always to run away and to seek you both, but I never escaped and as they bound me on the bed I started to wish for a hero, a prince who would save me out of my misery." Kaithlyn respond in a sad voice but had still a cute smile on her lips. But she soon looked at him and had still that cute smile on her face. "And then you came and saved me... Hehehe." Kaithlyn said with a giggle

Anais who counted the money was also wachting the both and listened to the conversation of the both. As Anais waved her head to the both she just had one thought. "It must be nice to have siblings..." Anais respond in her thoughts as she saw that there was more between them as normal sibling love, more in Kaithlyns point of view as in Silvers.

"AH! HEY- That Pumpkin~~" The voice of a young girl jumped into their ears... "Where do I get a ticket for the Queen's Blade?" The girl asked and Ingo looked at her.

The girl wore a white ghotic lolita shirt with a tiny black skirt and striped thigh high socks and in her hands she was holding a lollipop. Ingo was happy to see another girl that wore normal cloths and since it was his duty to sell those tickets, he run cheerfully and with new spirit towards her.

"Welcome! Tickets are riiiight here~~" He respond with a singing voice, like Anais earlier did, and pushed the girl to the counter where the tickets would be sold. But the girl was so surprised of the reaction of Ingo that she couldn't respond.

"NN-" She only let out a light moan as he pushed her .

"Go~! Go~!" Ingo was in his element, he turned around and waved with one hand a goodbye to the both other girls. "Later, Kaithlyn and Anais! Gotta get back to work!" He respond and pushed the girl further forward.

Kaithlyn and Anais waved back at him and wished him good luck, Kaithlyn also found his attitude for work pretty good and it affected her to go back to work as well.

As he sings the song, he made up, and walked with the girl further he suddenly heard the voice of someone screaming. Ingo who heard that voice suddenly stood still, because he know that voice.

"Excuse me, young lady." Ingo respond and left the girl, too find out who it was. Of course he know already who it was...

"AHH!?" The young boy Florelle was in Gainos too. Along with Elina and Lady Claudette, but since Elina was pissed and didn't really care for Florelle. She ignored him and he bumped into some evil goons as he wanted to catch up to her. "WOW... It's easy to tell that he's scary." He thought as he looked at the angry man in front of him...

"What happened, bro?" The second man respond as he saw the fat one staring pissed at Florelle.

"This brat here stepped on my foot." He respond and Florelle was even more scarred.

"Really?"

In that moment Florelle know that he was in trouble and Lady Elina or Lady Claudette wasn't in sight. "Umm... I'm sorry. It's because I was in such a hurry. AHHHH...!" But before Florelle could end his polite excuse. The slim one of the both grabbed the edge of his jacket and levitated him into the air with one hand.

Florelle couldn't breath anymore or swallow as that guy was holding him into the air. "Just because you were in a hurry makes it okay to step on people's feet, HUH?" The slim guy yelled into his face... "Lately, you kids haven't lean anything, do you?" He said sarcastic..

"Hey... what got you into the bag? You're holding it like it's something special. Show me." The fat guy respond as he saw that Florelle was holding a bag tight at his chest.

Florelle didn't let go of that bag and so the fat guy took it with force. As he open it the both were surprised of the content from it. "OHH! Some tasty sausages, Huh? Even for brat, you bought some high class stuff... Rather cheeky..." The fat guy said and close the bag again as the slim guy put Florelle down to the ground. "They'll serve just right as a side dish for some booze. Heh... It'll serve as your fee to apologize to us." The fat guy smirked dirty as he said this

"Please give that back...!" Florelle cry out as he tried to grab the bag out of the hands from the fat one, but he got hold back by the slim one.

"Brats like you should just nibble on some tree root. Haha Haha!"

"For now you in use for some family, right? From now on you are our apprentice." The fat guy said to the little shocked Florelle

And Florelle himself was shocked, he didn't know what he should do know... "What should I do... Lady Elina's sausages..." He was deserted that he was unable to do anything against those goons despite that he already was brave enough to face Echidna, he didn't had enough courage to do something against those both...

"Hey kid, you still got some money left over from that what was given to you by your master, right? We'll take it too, for your tuition fee on manners..." The slim one said and just wanted to grab Florelle once more something flow at them and smashed the both goons away. Florelle who saw this was surprised and relieved, he tought that Lady Elina came back and would save him and so he turned around...

"AHH...? Lady Eli..." Florelle cried out as he turned around

"Hey! How about you guys take someone in your size, huh?" The new voice respond

"Huh!? Isn't that..." As Florelle recognized the person that appeared behind him and saved him from those goons was he more as surprised. It was the boy who interrupted her Master.

It was Ingo who helped Florelle. As he heard first his scream he run so fast as he could and as he saw those three he took off that pumpkin and throw it at those both. Actually it was not the first time that he saw him in problems, in fact it was now the third time. But he wasn't able to help him last time, because Ingo was beaten down just like Florelle was. After he awoke he found Florelle crying on the ground and was holding his shirt in front of his chest. It was that moment where Ingo found out Florelle's little secret...

But this time it will be different, he won't fall for that dirty trick of those both bastards... But soon after he thought this, the slim one grabbed at something what looked like a knife and prepared to dash at him. But a fast and suddenly impact from something that was like a whip brought him to drop his weapon and the both kids looked behind them.

Behind them stood a young woman with long brown hair and green eyes. She wore something that looked like a purple bustier and over it was a long and beautiful red dress that had some blue feather-like attachments on the shoulders. She was just like the others very beautiful and she was angry, very angry.

"You... MAN are disgusting. A good adult wouldn't take pleasure in swiping money from a child! You BASTARDS!" The unknown girl said angry and Ingo could see that she had a small anger mark on her forehead.

As the other one was checking on his brother, the unknown girl ignored the yell and grunts of the both, she took the bag and gave it back to Florelle. "Hey. Are you both okay?"

"Ah yes... Thank you!" Florelle respond with sparkles in his eyes as she took the bag from the unknown girl and Ingo thought somehow of himself as an idiot. He actually wanted to play the hero and not be the saved.

But soon as the unknown girl looked at Ingo with a gentle smile the both goons begun to insult her...

"What the hell did you just do, you bitch...!" The slim one grunted as he was holding his blood smeared arm.

"We were just teaching that kid all about manners..."

As the fat one said this, Ingo could see that the beautiful face of the still unknown woman had now two anger marks and her eyes burned with a fire that said she was ready to kill. And this feeling what came from her scarred somehow the both boys...

"Huh...!? WHAT THE HELL! WHAT FOR MANNERS! YOU TWO SCOUNDRELS! I WAS IN THE AREA AND I SAW YOU TWO MYSELF! DON'T MAKE ME LOUGH! TRASH LIKE YOU MUST BE BURNED!" Her voice was full of an anger that sat deep in her soul

And Ingo was not the only one who could feel this anger and sorrow... It was then that Florelle took the hand of Ingo and asked him something... "What is that feeling?"

But Ingo couldn't say anything, because this was the first time that this girl appeared...

"Calm down... Missy. The words you are using don't suit you. If you raise your voice like that you cause a scene, right here." The slim one took his knife from the ground and was holding it again.

"We were caught off-guard from you and that female brat there. But what do you think can you do with those dainty arms of yours... You just good as a pillow and if we done with you, we will use you as one!" The ugly fat guy said as he took a knife out as well.

As they said this the unknown girl lost everything and lifted her strange staff, which suddenly had an eye on the top that was staring at the both. And she herself was surrounded by a aura that was very dangerous. "Shut your mouth!" Was the only thing she said as the both mans suddenly jumped scarred back and run away. The last thing what they all heard was the her weapon wasn't ordinary...

As everything calmed down Ingo and Florelle saw that the unknown girl suddenly begun to shake...

"Hah... idiots they did this two days ago on another girl too..." Was the only thing that escaped her lips.

"Ahh... ummm. Thank you very much. You both helped me out."Florelle respond at the both despite that this unknown girl did the most of the work and Ingo throw just his pumpkin head on them. "I really have nothing to give you as gratitude... but you both helped me out and I'm really grateful." Florelle said with a apologized look on his face.

"It's ok. I really don't care for that. You both should take care on what's happening from now on." The unknown woman respond with a kind smile and turned around, it was then that Florelle begun to squirm like a fan girl.

"Wow... She is so cool a true hero of justice." Florelle respond and Ingo begun to giggle and realized that non of them got her name.

"HEY FLORELLE!" A new voice appeared and Florelle turned to that voice, just like Ingo did.

But soon as he saw this person he jumped behind the barrel that stood there.

"AHH! Lady Elina!" He cried out to his precious master.

"You are so slow what were you doing!" Elina begun to yell at him and he apologized for it.

"Ahh. I'm sorry. I was involved with some scary men.. But that boy and this woman over there saved me."

With that both turned to the unknown girl and Ingo. But since Ingo was behind the barrel Elina couldn't see him and only saw the unknown girl. Elina was impressed, but it wasn't really a matter for her.

"Anyway, don't make anymore trouble on your own. You got that?" With that said Elina grabbed his head and turned him around so that they could meet up with Lady Claudette. And of course Florelle apologies once more.

"I'm sorry, Lady Elina..."

Ingo who was behind the barrel could see that the unknown girl wasn't moving at all. She was like in a shock. But he suddenly could hear something from her...

"Elina... There can't be any mistake... That bitch..."

As Ingo moved away from his hideout and wanted to ask her what was wrong. Someone or something suddenly groped him from behind.

"AHHHH I finally found you my slave~" A very familiar voice was to be heard and before Ingo could react his head was between a pair of big and tanned breasts. "Uh~ Are you finally have come back for the little and lonely princess of Amara~"

His face turned to a big red apple as the girl called Menace was holding his head between her big and soft breasts. He didn't could let out any words or anything else. He only saw Setra flowing above her and that the unknown girl was staring at him with a strange expression on her face.

Eventually Ingo could pull free and cried out her name. "Damn you Menace! Why did you scare me like that!" He respond at the tanned beauty.

"Huh? Are you not happy to see me...?" Menace respond with a sad smile and big wet eyes

And Ingo suddenly felt himself like an asshole and so he responded with an apologize. "UH! Of course not! I'm happy to see you! Really!?" He said with a gentle smile...

But before he could say more another strange person passed by him and walked over to the princess. She held out her hand at Menace, but one look, and she knew who this person was, and it was someone she detested intensely.

The woman in front of Menace looked to be a few years older than her. She had long silver hair and red eyes, and had purple colored lips. She wore attire similar to Menace's outfit, however, she's a little more revealing.

"Whatever is the matter, dear princess." The woman asked, with a sly grin. The next thing that happened is that out of the blue, Menace literally kicked the woman in the face in a fit of rage, while displaying impressive martial arts combat.

"Anarista!" She yelled in anger. This surprised him, because Ingo heard that name from Anais.

"Whoa! What got into her all of sudden? Wait, that woman!" Ingo thought, remembering an image of the woman from Anais story, named Anarista as she invaded Menace's palace. At that moment, Ingo realized that this is the traitorous servant who betrayed her and the kingdom of Amara.

"Anarista! You rebelled against the kingdom of Amara! Now you will bow down before it's authority!" Menace boldly declared.

"Ohh? Just try and make me." Said Anarista. "But, after I defeat you, we'll have a good long talk." The traitor adds and the both stare each other down.

Ingo remained silent along with the unknown beauty. But he could feel the presence of something else behind him...

They then saw that Menace makes the first move. She was so fast that Anarista could barely see her. And despite that Anarista couldn't see her, she tried to make a counter attack with a thrusted jab, but Menace ducks down and went for a straight to the stomach.

Many of Anarista's attacks weren't working against Menace, who was burning with rage. This is certainly not the Menace that Ingo met earlier. He instantly knew that black flames of hatred rose in her heart, which gave this incredible power.

However, he thought something was strange about Anarista... "This is weird. Anarista trained with Menace all those years ago, but she should be dead after a thousand years, right? Moreover, during those practice sessions, she would usually show more skill then that, but now..."

"Take this! Certain kill, Shinning Pyramid!"Menace shouts as she gave a mighty headbutt to Anarista's head. The attack sent her sliding back. "All those who oppose Amara's great authority shall bow down before it!" Menace declared.

"Haa... haa... really, geez..." Anarista said. But Suddenly, her wounds began to close up. This shocks who was watching.

"You've gotten better, Menace. However, don't think I haven't gotten a few tricks up my sleeve. Just as you are different from your old self, I am different as well."Anarista said.

"Wha? What's going on here?" Menace exclaimed, with a shocked expression.

"What the hell...? Is she a monster?" Ingo thought and he suddenly had a feeling about that this Anarista wasn't the real one...

"Now, let's see how you take a few hits!" Anarista said, and then her body began to swell abnormally, and innumerable arms started to grow from it. "Now, I'll counterattack!" Anarista declared and began rapidly pummeling Menace. She was getting beaten down by strong, continuous attacks, that didn't seem possible for an normal human.

As for the coup de grace, Menace was blown away. Ingo and the unknown girl was in her direction, and wasn't quickly enough to get away in time, and they all crashed into a mountain of junk on display from a nearby a store.

"Ow... ow... ow..." Menace groaned. She then noticed Ingo's legs in front of her. He was directly underneath her, but her rear end had been placed onto his head.

Menace stands up and turns around to face him, who was in a daze and laid with his face into the chest of the unknown girl. A little angry she grabs him by the collar and yell at him. "Wake up! This is no time to be taking a nap or for some pervert actions!"

"I wasn't!" He barked, with blush in his cheek. Menace jerked back to see her nemesis approaching. With powers like she had just displayed and exactly that power was beyond human ability and knowledge, Menace had no chance of winning.

Menace turned right back around, to see a black object resembling a scepter. The head of the scepter looked like a cat.

"Ahh! There you are, Setra!"Menace cried.

"Hey, Milady, is that really...?" Setra began to ask, as immediately recognized Anarista's face. But something throw him off

"No time to explain!" Menace quickly pick up Setra, and immediately started defending. With might swings, she attempts to push Anarista back. But, Setra's attacks didn't work against Anarista's soft, flabby pink body...

As soon as Ingo saw this flabby and wabbly body... He know who Anarista was and he facepalmed himself.

"Ufufu... is that all you got?" Anarista asked. "It doesn't hurt at all. Now, take this!" Anarista yelled, and something comes out of her body. Disgusting and slimy looking octopus-like tentacles appeared from her body. They almost like slimy pink mucus.

He stared at the tentacles, dumbfounded, with disgust. "She make tentacles. That's cute..." He thought, then another thought occurred to him. "Wait! If she can make tentacles like these, then don't tell me-" His thoughts end when he heard Menace yelping.

"Hyaah!" Menace cried as the slimy appendages climb all over her body.

"I Know it..." He screamed in his head, while having a comically sweat drop on his head.

"Heehehe... how's that?"Anarista chuckled.

"Iyaah! T-this slippery thing feels... so disgusting!" Menace cried out, and then noticed that her clothes were dissolving, thanks to the slimy substance that suddenly shoot out of Anarista's body. From her breasts to be exact. "Noo! My clothes are melting!"

"Ahaha! C'mon, just say you'll give up, and I'll spare your life." Anarista said.

"Y-you've got to be kidding! Uu... I won't lose to you!" Menace declared, even though she is embarrassed.

"Boy, you really are stubborn, aren't you?" Anarista complained "Just give up and swear your loyalty to the Swamp Witch I'll let you live then. I mean after all, she is the one who brought you back from the after life, you know, after I killed you." Anarista said.

"Swamp Witch?" Ingo repeated in his mind and had strange thoughts, because he heard that name now for the third time...

"Hey, slave boy, do something!" Setra ordered Ingo.

"For the last time! I'm not a slave!" Ingo barked back at Setra, but then he took a look behind the scepter and saw a damaged wooden barrel. It interestingly had the right size for sword.

"W-what?" Setra asked.

Thinking that he didn't save time to argue with a living object, Ingo quickly ran and passed Setra, much to the scepter's surprise. Ingo grabbed the edge of the barrel, and throw it to the ground, without the creature knowing it. But to his disappointment it was only filled with water and some apple. And so Ingo used once again his magic power to freeze the water, what was now under both. After that he took one of the apple and throw it at Anarista's head.

As Anarista looked angry at Ingo, she took a step forward and slipped over the ground what brought her to release Menace.

Menace landed on the ground with light thud.

"Uwaa... I'm all sticky..." Menace said as she recovered from the tentacle rape.

"You okay, Menace?" He asked her, but then noticed Menace's near naked body covered in pink slim, and blushed while gasping. "GAHH!"

Menace quickly hide her chest behind her arms, feeling embarrassed that her "her husband" saw her in a shameful position, although he saw her naked by their first meeting and second one, and she didn't had a problem to that time. So why now?

"Dammit!" He grunted, quickly unbuttoning his vest, and threw the vest over to the princess behind him, so she could cover herself a little. Not that it would make any difference, since his vest was way too small to cover her chest and that the strange substance, that shoot out from Anarista's breasts, melted even her blue striped string and only leftovers of that pink substance were cover her nipples and vagina...

"Whoa, kid, I'm impressed. To think you had moves like that." Said Setra, who was definitely impressed or did he mean something different...

"What should that mean?" Said Ingo. "Did you forgot how I helped you guys with those angry villager?"

Meanwhile, Anarista rose back up and was ready for some payback. "Not bad, handsome. But now, it's payback time." She said.

"Damn!" He muttered. "Menace, stay right there! I'll take care of this." He said, in a fighting position with his hands in front. Menace saw the brave look on his face as he made his demand clear to her.

"Why? When this has nothing to do with..."

"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm still not a servant who is suppose to protect his master or something. I'm protecting you, because you, Airi and Melona are my friends. I won't abandon a friend and if you are really Anarista, then there is another friend who is suffering because of you." He said.

"You..."

"So, I won't and can't forgive you that you screw up the lives of Menace and Anais!" Ingo said, with a smile that made Menace and Anarista blush.

This sparked a feeling inside of her. She didn't want to quit or surrender anymore. She didn't wanted to be beaten a second time, no matter what. She would lose something more important than her own life. Most importantly, she didn't want that Ingo would give his life for her if it came down to it.

She stood up, with new determination and bravery, walked past him and said to him "Stand down. This is my battle."

"What? You can't take her on your own." He stated surprised.

"And neither can you. And I know I may not be able to win, but I will not make use of your kindness."Menace boldly declared. "The Kingdom of Amara will not fall a second time to a traitor!"

"Menace..." Ingo mumbled.

"Oh~! That's the spirit Milady! Let me take care of this!" Setra said, as he placed himself in Menace's hand.

Ingo had a smile on his face, feeling proud that Menace was ready to fight again and to take revenge and the one who screw up her live. However, something strange happened soon after she declared her battle spirit...

"Huh?"Menace gasped, when her body suddenly felt hot.

"Whoa, Milady, what's wrong with your body?" asked Setra noticing this change.

"M-my body? ...Ah!" Menace cried, as hot black flames erupted from within her body and his vest suddenly fall down from her shoulders.

"Wha...?" He yelped, after watching this feat and that Menace was standing again naked in front of him.

"What is this? There are flames growing out from my body, and they feel powerful." Menace said in awe of these mysterious flames.

"I think I understand. When you were revived, you were given some kind of magic power." Setra states.

"Whatever it is, go and show her that power, Menace." Silver cheered from behind.

"I don't need you to tell me that." Menace respond.

Now ready to use her new-found power, Menace makes the cloths which were surrounding her arms, come to life while covered in the flames and used them to grab a hold of Anarista and to firmly wrap her up.

From the places were the bandages touched, white smoke appeared, rising up with a hissing sound.

"Ugh... argh... but how... to master Curse Power so quickly..." Anarista groaned as the bandage coil tighter around her body.

"This is amazing." Menace said, with a raging fist covered in dark energy.

"Wow..." Silver was speechless, because he never really saw the abilities of everyone...

"Go for it, Milady! Give her a finishing blow!" Setra cheered.

"Yes... My father's regrets, my and that of Anais's suffering... it's all packed in this fist!"Menace bellowed, and then unleashed one devastating blow with her fist, in which she focused this new power, to her nemesis with her might. "Now, please bow down to Amara's great authority!" Menace bellows as she displays a critical blow to her enemy.

"Did she do it?" Setra exclaims.

"Looks like..." Silver said.

But then something even more bizarre happen. Anarista started to morphing again, but this time, it was her entire body who begun to change instead of one of her body parts. She transforms into another well endowed and attractive girl, whom compared to other characters, sticks out like a sore thumb. Her body looks soft, moist, and jiggly. She has long pink hair that reaches past her shoulders, featuring a pair of bunny ears, blue eyes with clover-shaped pupil.
She was scantly-clad, only wearing a very small pink transparent jacket that only covers her shoulders featuring eye-like pauldrons and a collar bound by a heart-shaped emblem with wings and a pink dress.
And an equally revealing blouse of the same color and density and wears a pair of pink shoes with a pair of eyes. The bangs of her hair that frame her face form into a pair of hands that cover her otherwise fully exposed breasts.

In that moment Silver facepalmed himself that he didn't noticed it earlier and was now somewhat really pissed, but even Menace was more shocked as surprised. The person that was in front of them the whole time was Melona, the Protean Assassin.

"Y-you..." Menace gasped in surprise.

"MELONA!" Ingo and Setra exclaimed both in unison.

"Ah geez! I give up!" Melona said. The way she spoke made her sounding almost like a child, given her playful and childish attitude. "I didn't think you could use Curse Power in that short amount of time. I sure miscalculated, didn't I?"

"You're Melona... So it wasn't Anarista, right?" Menace asked, confused.

"Yeah, I'm sorry! I think you forgot that I'm actually a shape shifter. I can change myself into anything." Melona explains.

"I thought you were the real Anarista, and I finally got my revenge." Menace said, now feeling disappointed.

"Yes, I know. That was one of my pranks."

"That was prank!" Silver yelled. "Even if it was, that was totally going too far! Are you some kind of monster?" Ingo asked, one to quickly be met with a sword, that appeared from Melona's arm, placed near his neck.

"I'm sorry, but could repeat that? I didn't quite hear you. I thought we both already talked about that being a monster? You really disappoint me now, handsome." Melona respond, with bright twinkles in her eyes.

"I... I said nothing... nothing at all..." He respond, in fear for his life and totally forgot that she hated it to be called a monster.

"Anyway, Anarista died a long time ago, so you don't need to worry about her anymore. I'm really sorry about that Menace." Melona turned her attention and apologized herself, acting like a cute little child. "But, it's a real troublesome thing, following Airi's rules. Ahahaha~! Anyways, see you later, handsome." Melona said as she was about to take her leave, she grabbed Menace on her waist and wanted to leave with her together but Silver stopped her.

"Wait!" he called out.

"What's wrong?" Melona asked.

"I have something I wanna ask you."

"Well, if you looking for special service, I'm afraid I'll have to decline. This time.." Melona jokingly replies to him.

"That's not it! Why would I ask for something like that!" Silver bellowed, while he blushed.

"So I'm not your type then?" Melona teasingly asked.

"That's not it either?!" He repeats. now feeling like a toy that was her given to play with.

"Then what is?" Melona asked, seriously.

"It's about this Swamp Witch you mentioned earlier, while you played your... prank. Who is that actually and how did you showed up in Gainos without got trapped inside the time anomaly?" Silver asked, referring to the that revinding day and to the name Swamp Witch.

"Huh? What're you talking about?" Melona asked.

"Huh? Never mind..." He respond.

He know that reaction, because the others reactions was the same as he asked about the time anomaly.

"Well, I don't know what you mean with the revinding day..." Melona said. "But I can tell you that the Swamp Witch asked me, or more us, to get information about you and to keep an eye on Menace. Soon as I found her, she looked lonely."

"And that's when you decided to do your thing on her." Silver added.

"Well, anyway, if I find some info on this mysterious revinding day, I'll let you know right away. Bye!" Melona said, and melted away.

"Uh, goodbye." Menace said as Melona left and she run after her.

"Wait just one moment." He cried after them, but they were already gone... "Just great... Now are even Menace and Melona are trapped in Gainos and who is that girl..." He nag in his thought as he finally turned to the unknown beauty that helped him earlier.

As he walked near her, the unknown beauty was still lying on the ground unconscious. The way she lay there on the ground was more as awkward. Half of her top was down and exposed her bare chest. As he took a closer look, with a blushing face, his view fall automatically on that scary purple staff...

The staff appears as a normal purple staff, with long tentacles and a bright red eye. Ingo didn't know what was scarier, the big red eye, which was staring at him or the tentacles that seemed to be alive...

The whole appearance of that staff gave him chills down his spine. In that moment he decided to took a step back and wanted to wait for the girl to wake up. He couldn't just leave her, because what would happen when those goons would come back to her...

But the fate wasn't so nice to him to give him a break from all this that happened until now... He suddenly heard a scream and this scream was very familiar.

"ANAIS!?" He respond to that scream and bit on his lips as his view fall back to the girl on the ground...

It was then that he heard that the unknown girl begun to wake up and Silver saw his chance and begun to run back to Anais...
