Seric's P.O.V.

"...What?! You must be joking, you can't even feel the darn thing? Why didn't ya tell me before you temporary dolt- that's the O.N.E. thing I asked from you! Ah, but no don't worry too much I suppose, you were probably too busy to notice... and I can't actually remember if I even told ya that either, YA- oops, sorry Marlox, yashashasha!" Metallic casually "shouts" at her as I hear more mechanical sounds from back there.

I then go back to my other work on a notepad app, with all of my memories being written on it in code... I decided to use a "cypher" for the notes. Every second letter is moved three letters up, like from A to D, and the others are moved 2 letters back, like D to B...I think that should work. I hope.

"Ok, ok, um what else... right, he mentioned multiple universes... then, that the answer to the universe is repetition, an infinite cycle... and Habram isn't the first God. What the hell... this... shit stop! Then, right! he said that I had to do with the one who killed his wife... but he seemed like I was... against that person? And so, that's why he wants me to work with him? But no, that doesn't make sense... since aft-"

*ZMMMMMMMMMMM-PHOOOSH!*

The crazy sound forces me to slowly look back, and as I do Metallic throws his arms up into the air shouting, "H.U.Z.Z.A.H.! Your sniper has been ressurected pal #3- now if only that could happen with the Five Kings. I'd love to see them right about now... well, I think they... may hate me now... anyways- there we go! Now we just need to pack up all our stuff, and then we're off!"

"Siiiiiiiiiick, back in business. Let's just hope I don't get my brains smashed or something out there that makes me hafta retire again... nah really, thanks though. Hm... yeah we should get moving soon but, how are we gonna get our stuff from the boat? I have a lot of stuff on there I still need, like snacks and clothes and all that." Amandeath replies as she looks down at her bent arm, with the ammo chamber that's open along the inside of her elbow glowing a light blue once again.

"Ah- I didn't even think of that! Hm... well, we're only gonna be out for a day or three right? How much could we possibly need- obviously getting my fresh S class meals is out of the question but we can still pack some for our adventure. Am I wrong? I'm up for objections- now at least!" Metallic asks as he swings up his bronze arm and extends his hand out... at least he has more control now...

"...Weeeeell I mean I'm not one of those bitches who wear make up 24/7, but I AM still a girl. And human. Got different needs than you, like needing more clothes and all. Could get into details but, last people I met kinda didn't appreciate that... plus it's pretty pointless now. Guess I'll try to be more "normal" that way. Since I'm basically stuck with you guys now... anyways yeah. Guess it's not the end of the world if I don't get my stuff from the ship for a few days right now at least, I've been through worse. Still sucks ass though. Buuut I've got my Infi-Gum, Infi-Gun and pajamas, so I'm kinda set... fuck. Never mind we're gonna be wearing disguises." Amandeath replies after her lengthy speech with a long sigh...

*SHK!*

At the same time she straightens out her bent arm with the sniper attached to it with a click. This causes the glowing open section of the gun by the crook of her arm to close off, with it being covered by the pitch black material of the gun now.

"...Next... um... what else... right, Marionette's body! She... oh that was gross- no, no sorry Habram I shouldn't say that. I still have to look through scripture... but I'm-I'm scared, I don't want to see what hell is like!" I think to myself as I turn back around to look at my

"Great! Sorry for the inconvenience, but, I promise I'll help ya the best I can while we're out there, we'll have a blast! And hey look your arm is working too- I mean that was totally part of my plans! I'm already feeling better, so I'll just get cooking real quick and off we go! Ah. But before that, how's my favourite shorrrr- black haired pal doing?! You said wanted to draw, r-r-r-r-r-r-r-right? Strange from you but let's see what ya got there, I'm sure it'll be great!" Metallic says as I hear him quickly walking behind me!

"FUCK fuck fuck, switch it- stupid thing!!" I panic as I try to close out of the notepad app as soon as I can, but Metallic bends down next to me to see what I'm doing before I can!

"N-NO, GET AWAY- please..." I shout at him as I fall forward to the floor, crawling away as I desperately hold tablet to my chest. ...But I embarrassingly stop as I remember that everything I wrote is in code anyways.

"Pal... what's w-w-w-w-w-w-wrong? No... are... you really are scared of me now aren't you? After what I did... you think I'm a beast... please- no... I, I didn't mean it! I was trying to avenge you, that's all! The land... no, those... those people, who weren't my pals, I didn't mean to hurt them!" Metallic tries to explain to me as he leans down towards me.

I scramble up a half assed response, "N-no, that's... I'm not... I don't agree with your, attack, but, I mean I am scared- but not for that. I... I don't kn-"

"No, it's... alright pal. You... don't have to lie to me. I can see it in your face, you... you're disappointed in me at the very least. I promise. I'll add being someone you can truly look up to to my list of requirements to be a King. Yasha... not the time. ...Just know that I at least still love you, alright Seric?" Metallic says in a scarily somber tone as he slowly stands back up, with his limbs creaking a lot as he does so.

"Y-yeah... love... love..." I try to say, but before I can finish Metallic walks away to the kitchen next to us...

"Idiot, look at what you did now! All because I forgot about my stupid cypher shit! But... really I mean... he killed so many people... just to avenge us. And it seemed like causing that much damage wasn't necessary, he just wanted it to be in a "memorable way". What the hell does that mean?! Is he insane?! Or is he just that heartless... and dense. That's why Habram hates him... WELL yeah, if he didn't do all of that damage, we would've been fine! No, no this is on Karia! If she... what the hell am I doing? I'm just as bad... this- no, no it's... I-I don't know! Am I supposed to know, Habram?" I think to myself as I start to cry again, with heat surging to my fingers which makes me put my hands back down on the already burnt floor next to me.

A while later...

"Alright, seems like I bought the right stuff! Ha, I'm just glad that my own "disguise" was good enough to let me go out to buy that stuff." Marlox says with a satisfied laugh.

"Mhm, yep that should be good you two, from appearance alone you look like entirely different people- hah or robots. Metallic, keep hold of that purse. And Amandeath, pull your sleeve down a little- I can see the tip of your gun." Marlox commands as he stands back with a hand under his chin as he stares at Metallic and Amandeath in their disguises... I guess Marlox went out after to buy the stuff to make them, or maybe he had the stuff here. I don't know. I wasn't paying attention. At least I wrote all my memories down in the meantime though...

Anyways, to go with his new arm Metallic is still in the "nude"- but he spray painted himself completely bronze now. Not even a speck of silver is left on him... surprised he went through with that. Also, he has a shitty new fake eye in his spare eyehole. And his other one got changed too, with his black pupil now being invisible leaving him with a pure white orb for an eye. I, I have no idea how he can see through it though. Lastly, he's holding a expensive looking black leather purse in his right hand.

Amandeath also changed her look. She cut her hair a bit shorter so it lies just above her shoulders, and also straightened it out a bit so it's less frizzy. Most importantly though she dyed her hair pitch black, I think I overheard them talking about a "quick working" dye or something that they used. Also, she took off her glasses, and now has contacts in I think. ...Either way they changed her purple eye color into a simple brown now.

"Yep! I won't let go of this handy purse either, it's got our food in here and everything! These disguises are 100% undoubtedly, certainly, positively fool proof! Plus, if I need to take the paint off, I can just rub my body S.U.P.E.R. quick to become silver once more and that's that right?" Metallic asks as he holds his hand in front of his face, with his voice being enthusiastic but his face looking sad...

"Yeeeep. We'll take the spraypaint or whatever with us so we can put it back on ya if we need to. What a pain... I mean I'm mad about losing my PJ's but not complaining. Though, based on how you acted before about your body I'm surprised you don't mind the disguise." Amandeath says as she raises her leg up- which is covered by a pair of fancy looking light brown baggy pants. Plus, she's wearing a loose long white sleeved shirt that's hanging right over her hands so that it covers all of her sniper.

"Ah. It's nothing compared to helping the one who saved our precious pal #2! Plus I wanna get back to Seric as soon as possible, and this disguise is the quickest way to do that! On that note- see ya pal! I promise, I'll work on becoming a King while me and pal #3 are out! Take care of him Marlox, and of yourself- as the official unofficial team leader I'm entrusting my pals to you!" Metallic says as he looks towards my dazed self who's still sitting on the carpeted floor with a nod, then to Marlox.

"Whoa whoa hold on a sec. You remember your roles right? Metallic, you're pretending to be a casual slave bot who's carrying Amandeath's stuff. You know since they're pretty popular around here and all. Of course that's not how your awesome self really is though. Your voice has to be monotone, and try not to talk as much as normal if you can manage it. Amandeath, you're meant to be a stuck up rich city girl and, unfortunately Metallic's owner. Your voice already suits that kinda, so you can do a lot of the talking in public and all. The rest is up to you two, you already have a plan for staying safe right?" Marlox quickly asks with a furrowed brow.

"Yep and yep! All set B.A.B.Y.! Let's skedaddle Amandeath, bounties here we come! See ya! Oh. One last thing, Seric. I know you may be mad at me right now, however if Karia wakes up before I- I mean we get back. Tell her... ah. Never mind, you don't have to. Bye bye, for real this time- love you pal! And like you too Marlox!" Metallic adds with a nod as he swings his bronze hand towards Marlox, then forcefully grips and crazily shakes his hand...

"Yeah see you! Thanks so much again!" Marlox says happily, and  second later, Metallic and Amandeath head out through the kitchen hallway and to the door. Guess it's just me now... for better or for worse...

A/N: With that, Amandeath and Metallic finally head out to pay their debts to Marlox! Leaving a stressed Seric to his own means in the process however...
