Last chapter, after taking out the rest of Virile's goons with her Blessing, "Imagine Me", and her raw strength, it turned out that Virile wasn't the real reason for why Commander Aora came to Birzion. Her true purpose was to show the trio that Seric was actually the one who commited the slaughtering of Aprase, including Commander Erucid, which is why Seric was in jail beforehand. Just as it seemed like Seric really would give himself up, King Metallica knocks Karia unconcious, and reassures Seric that he isn't a monster. This caused Aora to leave the island, with each of the three being left with the message that Seric and Karia will be officially wanted.

8 hours after Aora's departure...

King Metallica's P.O.V.

*CLANG! CLANG!*

I stop my easy-peasy repairs for a moment, with me just fixing what was causing me to have a low amount of energy!

"We're sure lucky that no I.D.I.O.T.S have come back to this house, all those loser Hopian soldiers did is collect all of the already defeated brown vested A.P.E.S. and leave the island! And that was a few hours ago, to think that my pals were scared of those cruds!"

Thinking about them I look over to my two foolish, but of course great pals who I with my mighty strength and heart moved into the snow white quilted bed against the backwall of the room- which has a nice tint of hot yellow in it now due to the beautiful sunset outside the window!

I then smile as I see both of them sleeping under the covers peacefully right next to each other, with Karia's C.R.A.Z.Y. purple hair being sprawled across her pillow, and with Seric even having a sweet lil smile on his face! "Aw... I knew tucking them in was a great idea, they look so relaxed now- Seric stopped leaking his pesky flames as well! That vile, villainous, sinful, wicked, evil, malevolent woman, she tried to shatter our precious bonds! But of course, our friendship is unbreaka-pal with me around and she skedaddled the H.E.L.L. out of here, YASHASHASHA!" I say with pride to myself as I let out a mighty belly laugh, not being able to peer my eyes away from my precious pals! There's just no way Seric is a monster, I've seen many wolves in sheeps clothing and I can tell exactly who they are! And Seric isn't one of them, and neither is pal #2!

"...Wait a second! Didn't my twenty-third pal, Nathan Jeramiah Billsworth, tell me that when a man and a woman sleep together that they create a little tiny man or woman? Ah! I don't think that's what my pals want right now, I must prevent it from happening right away!" I say to myself with concern as I stand up as fast as I can with my mighty- but ever so slightly damaged body, and walk along the creaky wooden floor towards the dangerous bed of conception!

I'm about to R.I.P. Seric right out of the sheets, but then it hits me! "Now wait just a second! If my pals do make a rowdy, needy, B.A.B.Y.I.S.H. baby... then I wouldn't just have two pals, I would have three! And plus, one that I can teach from a young age, he would love my stories- especially about the almighty Five Kings!" I shout to myself with glee!

"Well then! Discard what I just said, sleep tight pals!" I conclude my words in a quiet but extravagant whisper, as I pat the sheets between the two of them and walk back towards my repairing station! AKA, the floor!

"Speaking of discarding... have I truly been discarding the messages of my Lords this entire time? I... have done harm to the people of the Hopian Continent before, I believe? Does that make me evil in my precious Kings eyes...? No! I HAVE been following the scriptures by helping all those who seek my assistance by becoming my pal! I may have done evil in the past, but I have done it selflessly- plus I've done plenty of good for this territory as well! But... is it enough?" I think to myself, extremely deep in thought about my very own beliefs!... .

In the city of Magthera, inside the building of "Masseur and Much Muer"

Dahai's P.O.V.

"Hm... yes, yes... I believe I can see the problem now." I say to the very pretty long brown haired lady wearing Magthera's classic full aluminum clothing. She is currently sitting down on a metal stool inside of my blue metal home, as I analyze her arm for any nerve damage as she requested of me.

"Really?! Do you think you can fix it for me, oh please sir I'll do anything!" She asks me in her mature and somewhat deep- but cute tone of course as she turns her head back to me as I see her brown eyes. Eh, but who cares about that anyways.

"Of course, of course my lady! My Blessing is just the thing for that, though I will have to do a more... thorough analysis to do so." I think to myself as a smile creeps onto my face and I almost start to laugh like a hyena. Of course the girl does not have any arm problems- though it's not like I'll ever tell her that~

"Hey..." The woman says in a husky tone, which causes my lips to curl and my eyebrows to move upwards. Soon after, she then raises her hand to her head and starts to fondle with her hair.

"Y-yes? How-"

"GOT YOU YOU SICK BASTARD!!" The woman shouts to me in a... dangerously close to male tone. But- it only gets worse as she jumps up and kicks the stool down, ripping off her beautiful hair in the process revealing a mess of short black hair that's shaggier than a canines.

"AHHHH!!" I scream in pure terror as I take a step back, but soon after the man raises his palms to his face, ripping off his feminine mask and revealing his unkept skin covered with a black beard thicker than a lion's manes.

"AHAHAHAHAAAA STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU DEMON!!" I yell in even more fear as I back away, stumbling and falling down onto the cold metal floor in the process.

"Like hell, this is payback for my girl you damn creep!" The man shouts at me in a terrifying tone as he starts to speed walk towards me and I continue to lie on my back and crawl away, being too shocked to defend myself.

💫💫💫

"Dahai! Daha-ohhhhhhh, nice body!" I hear Suzie call out to me from the open doorway- then to the horrid man with a whistle as he runs right by her and gives her a weird look.

"Even the kid?!" He shouts one last time as he finally leaves my premise, and of course he has left me in shambles as well as I groan on the floor.

I then slowly turn my sore head over to said child, "Suzie... help me... my eyes... they have been both physically and mentally..-"

"Who cares, if you're not blind you have to come out and see the news right away!!!" She yells to me in a shockingly confident and serious tone, with her face seeming distraught.

"Hm... if you're saying it's that important the- Ow!" I cry out as I try to stand myself back upwards but fail to do so as my legs are also in excruciating pain.

"Come on already!!" She cries out to me as she impatiently waits by the open door to our small metal house, with the glowing giant lake of lava that lies beneath the entire city being visible in the distance under and past the many paths outside, and of course with the scorching brown rock of the Volcano that surronds the entire city being visible even further outwards.

"Yes, yes I am coming." I say with a sigh as I am finally able to stand up, and start to slowly walk towards the door, feeling the intense thickness of the hot air of the outside hit my face. Luckily the aluminum clothes me and Suzie are wearing make everything else heat resistant to this massive volcano though.

I finally arrive outside, "Now then, what did you want to-" I try ask as I bend down towards my disciple, but she interrupts me as she roughly squishes my mouth together like I am a blowfish and quickly turns my head to the right.

I can see that one of the rarely used massive navy blue metal emergency alert screens has stretched out from below the lava near our residence, with many other citizens standing outside their homes to view it as well.

I then start to read the screen which states, "The Monster of Aprase, identified... ah. That's good I suppose... WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE- SERIC?!?!" I shout out in complete shock as I can see the picture of the bloodstained boy directly above the text who is lying on some pure red sand. I jolt upwards out of Suzie's grip, and quickly cover her eyes and shove her inside the house. I may let her be perverted- but this is far too much for a child to see!

"Dahai... is he really a monster? I kinda liked him, he was nice to me and one of my first friends..." Suzie asks me, which makes me even angrier at that boy- no, monster!

"...He must be, Suzie. I'm sorry. We will not be seeing him again... Now go on inside, I'll be there in just a minute." I say to her as I try to act confident to make her feel secure, which she luckily agrees to as some tears start to form in her eyes, but she still shuts the door to our small cubular abode and stays inside.

"That boy, he seemed so weak and innocent when we fought Aeko together, but was this him all along...? And why was Karia travelling with him, isn't she supposed to be-" My thoughts are interrupted as the emergency screen switches to another photo and text...

"Damn it!!" I curse out a moment later I read the news that Karia was the one who broke that monster out of his confinements, and that she is a criminal as well.

"Even you, Karia?!" I think to myself in sadness and disappointment as I clench my fist, knowing that one of my only long term friends who I've known for a few years is now nothing to me.

In the middle of the Hopian Sea, inside of the Long Sleeved Pirates Ship.

Popshot's P.O.V.

"I... think I'll go soon if you'll let me, captain. I don't think I can be any more ready than I am now." I tell Adesia who's sitting on the opposite side of the fancy wooden table we're sitting at inside of her personal quarters with a serious tone and face. That's a first for me.

"Really? Are you sure, have you thought this through? You do know what you're up against, right? And what would happen if you were to lose? I don't know if I could save you a second time, Fixed Reality is a dangerous group." She responds in a equally serious tone as her brows narrow and she clicks her nails across the table.

"Yeah, I know what I'm getting myself into. I know I'm ready, and I can't bare the weight of knowing my dad is stuck in that disgusting place anymore. I can't even sleep because of it sometimes... I need to save him." I say to her with confidence as I stare her right in the eyes.

"...I see. Well, be sure to tell me when you're going once more before you do so. Do you know what to do if a strange man approaches you- or a strange woman? The Hopian Continent is quite the unforgiving place, the crime rates are soaring right now. And what about getting a hotel to stay at? Or how to blackmail-"

"Oh come on what are you my mom? I'll be fine!" I respond to her in a more carefree tone as I snicker.

"No, I'm your captain. And you're my second hand-"

"EMERGENCY ALERT! EMERGENCY ALERT!" The annoying radio sitting on Adesia's desk blares right next to me, killing my ears as I squint my eyes.

"Ow... what the, has that ever happened before captain?" I ask her, but she only raises her index finger to my face as she stares at the one machine she actually lets the ship hold.

"The monster of Aprase has finally been identified- however, due to a prior Officer by the name of Karia who has the body type of a mature woman with purple hair betraying the Hopian Army to save the beast, it is now on the loose. The monster travels in the form of a young boy with black hair, blue eyes and short stature, and goes by the name of Seric. And lastly, a long time criminal robot who goes by the name of King Metallica wearing a crown and robe is travelling with them as well, and is also very dangerous. If you do not think you are capable of fighting these three, then do not engage any of them whatsoever and report their whereabouts to the Hopian Army immediately. However, for those who believe they are capable of taking out any or all of these three without any collateral damage, they will all have bounties for anyone to claim if any or all of the three are brought to the Hopian Army, dead or alive. Be safe, or keep our territory safe and join us."

*BLEEP*

The radio cuts off, and Adesia's eyes are wide open in surprise, while mine are open even wider but my entire face is quivering in disappointment and anger.

"...What the hell?!?! We held a goddamn party for those two, and that whole time they were just fucking monsters?! Damn it Seric!!!" I shout out which shakes the entire damn room, or it sure should have at least.

"Language! And calm down, we didn't know them for that long, so why are you so angry?" Adesia scolds me in a scary tone as she gets up from her table, she still looks shocked as well though.

"Sorry. He was a friend you know, like the one cool guy I knew who was around my age! But then after I put all of that trust in him, it turns out he just lied to me the entire time, memory loss my as- butt!" I shout out as I kick the stupid leg of Adesia's table- everything's stupid right now!

"I see. Well, it's already evening, so try to get some sleep over it tonight, maybe that will help." Adesia says with a sigh as she gestures me to leave with her slender fingers.

"Yeah." I only respond as I turn myself around, heading towards the black and brown wooden door.

"Seric. The next time we meet- I don't care how strong they may make you seem, I'll kick- no kill your ass all over again for this!!" I think to myself, with just another person now on my hit list.

On the Hopian Continent, inside of the Casino "Fixed Reality".

Domino Afolabi's P.O.V.

"Hm... not a bad look, got the hair, the clothes, the bod- eh... well a little beer belly ain't gonna hurt nobody, hehe." I say to myself with a chuckle as I look at myself in one of our many fancy washrooms into the oval shaped and red neon rimmed mirror in front of me, rubbing my hand across the stubble of my freshly cut beard.

I then pick up my golden comb, rubbing through my short black fuzzy hair.

But I then lean forward and take the time to notice that my precious brown skin has got a cut from that stupid razor, oh I knew I was right about buying the 300 Herin one!

"Hey, Dazzline! I told ya!" I call out to to her as I shake my head in irritation,  walking towards and out of the automatic sliding door.

I look to both sides of the lon- no no basically infinite hallway that lies on both sides of me, with the floor of it bein' pure red velvet and the "walls" in front of me being bullet proof black tinted windows. "You told me what now?" My wife says to me with a sigh as I can see her exit another door that's right beside the washroom.

"Ah! Honey, oh just look at what that crummy razor you told me to buy did to my chin!" I say with an angry pout- though I can't help but relax as I stare into her violet eyes, her smooth short black hair dangling down to just above her perfect eyebrows. Looking down, I can see that she's taken a likin' to the new dress I got her, with it being covered with a dazzling red glitter.

"...Did you use the shaving cream that we also bought with the razor?" Dazzline says as she gives me a dirty eye and puts her hands on her hips.

"Huh? Shaving crea- Oh. Yea, yeah yeah, of course... hehe..." I say with a chuckle, as I look around for some sort of escape from my beautiful- but angry wife at the moment. Happy wife, happy life. Angry wife...

"Daddy! Bro won't stop hitting me!!" I hear the sound of my youngest child cry out to me as I can see him running in my direction along the red carpet of the hallway, I'm saved!

"Oh come on, I barely did anything don't be a snitch!" I hear the trouble maker of our, mainly, good ol' family call out, and soon after I can see him run out from the door to his room that lies along the hallway.

"Ajal, just what did I tell you about bugging your little brother!" I shout out to the brat in annoyance, which causes him to stop dead in his tracks.

"What?! I didn't do anything, why... why don't you ever side with me dad?! You're the worst!!" He yells to me as he throws a tantrum, with tears now pouring out from tinsy wittle bitty eyes.

"Because you're always causing trouble and no one else! And boy you had better stop crying before I give you something to cry about!" I scold to Ajal, which isn't anything new, and of course he then runs off to his room along the ever expanding hallway of mine. My youngest then follows close behind him even after he was being chased around, probably to comfort Ajal or something... he really is sweet.

"Love you baby- you too Ajal!" Dazzline calls out and waves to the both of them, seems like that's where my precious boy got his kindness from...

She then turns to me after they leave. "...Domino. You heard the news about the monster of Aprase right, and how it's... on the loose now?" She says to me uneasily as she grips her right arm with her left hand.

"I sure did, the news is buzzin' everywhere right now. What about it honey?" I ask.

"It's just... with everything we've been doing as the owners of this Casino... the workers... I've always believed in karma, so it just feels like it may come back to-"

"Dazzline. Remember, everything that happens to the people who come here, they know exactly what their gambling for. And hell, we could be a lot worse, upping prices, drugging people, rigging machines- but no, we don't do any of that! We just fix realities, kekehehehehe!" I let out my signature belly laugh, which makes my wife smile a bit. I swear it, this laugh is what made me successful!

"Haha... well, I guess you may have a point there... but. I do think we should take Ontarus up on his offer for protection, with that-"

"ONTARUS?! No no no no no- no! We are not associating with my... "brother" anymore than we have to! He ain't nothing but a bad influence, and I sure don't want any of my kids to turn out like him, with all of his smoking and "relations"! Hell he may even try to swoop Naomi off of her feet if he sees her!" I spit out with a wagging finger to my wife, am I not enough security for her or something?!

"...Think on it, Domino. You're not invincible, and you have a family to protect." She says to me, looking unamused as she walks away in her high heels.

"...Well, whatever, she'll thank me for this later. But more importantly... I can't wait, our business is gonna be boomin' once the government gives it to us, and I know they will! Everyone in Hopian is gonna want the ticket to Dalkan!" I think to myself with a grin, as I fix the collar of my tuxedo.

A/N: The consequences of Seric not giving himself up are hitting hard, with their companions from Magthera and The Long Sleeved Pirates now despising them! And finally, a sneak peak of the famed Casino Popshot is enemies with, Fixed Reality, is finally revealed to be... a happy family?
