The broadcast ended and Megumi and Richard switched the t.v. off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, that was nice of them,\u201d mused Richard. \u201cSo, a Chizaran year is&#8230;?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;I\u2019m not sure what a Chizaran year is to us,\u201d remarked Megumi. \u201cComputer, how long is a year in Universe 1-A?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c2 years for our universe,\u201d replied the computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd for our friends?\u201d asked Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTen days for Arsha\u2019s home,\u201d answered the computer, \u201cfive years for Optimus\u2019 home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe might as well invite them here to relax,\u201d suggested Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure they wouldn\u2019t mind,\u201d agreed Megumi. Just then, there was a knock on the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wonder who that is?\u201d muttered Richard as he went to answer the door. He opened it to reveal Haruna with a package in her hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDelivery for Mr. Saunders?\u201d she chuckled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh&#8230;yeah&#8230;\u201d mumbled Richard as he remembered the bet. He let Haruna in and opened the package to reveal a replica of Megumi\u2019s dress in his measurements and colored green. It even came with the hairpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll right, let\u2019s see how it looks!\u201d chuckled Megumi. She and Richard took the dress into their room and shut the door. Richard stripped to his underpants, then Megumi helped him into the dress. First came the skirts, then the bodice, then the hairpiece. \u201cNow, give me a twirl,\u201d she directed. Richard did so and Megumi looked him over as he twirled. \u201c&#8230;You know, it actually looks good on you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt feels comfy,\u201d conceded Richard. \u201cWait, is the bodice moving with me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s how us girls get enough air,\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cNow, come on, Mom needs to see this.\u201d She and Richard returned to the living room and Haruna smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow that IS a good look for you,\u201d she praised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou know, this actually airs out my legs better than my pants did,\u201d remarked Richard. \u201cGiven the body differences between the two, I\u2019m surprised it\u2019s women that wear skirts instead of men.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Scots had it right,\u201d chuckled Haruna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkaa-san, Richard,\u201d interjected Megumi, \u201cthe Scots used it as a cloth multitool.\u201d Haruna and Richard looked at Megumi with a look of disbelief. \u201c&#8230;I\u2019m not joking! Ask Liam and Death! They can confirm it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpeaking of certain Anthropomorphic Personifications,\u201d Richard recalled, \u201cdid anyone hear from War?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d sighed Megumi. \u201cI hope she\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t heard anything from her either,\u201d muttered Haruna. \u201cIt\u2019s Founding Day tomorrow, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is,\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cI hope she gets here in time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>War was still onboard the&nbsp;<em>Ruthless<\/em>, contemplating the events leading to Vortech\u2019s return. All she did was give the necessary orders to Skyfall, Quake Hammer, and X-PO. Speaking of, Quake Hammer had a report to give to War. He met X-PO in the halls. \u201cHey!\u201d called X-PO. \u201cBeen trying to get you for a while! War gave me the order that she\u2019s not seeing anyone. Any reports you got need to be handed to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, here\u2019s one such report,\u201d muttered Quake Hammer as he presented a data-pad to X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Wow, fascinating,\u201d sighed X-PO. \u201c30 particles of space dust per cubic meter, 27 ultraviolet radiation spikes, and a class 1 comet. Well now, we\u2019re certainly having fun, aren\u2019t we?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cX-PO, why is War just taking us all over reality?\u201d asked Quake Hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s just say recent events,\u201d replied X-PO, \u201cleft War feeling a little directionless. She feels like she needs to find \u2018something\u2019 out here and needs a crew to help her find it. So, with our experience on this ship, we\u2019re the most likely candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, I wish she told us!\u201d snapped Quake Hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>War sat in her ready room, just staring off into space. Listlessness had taken hold of her spirit. Then&#8230;it happened! \u201cWaaaaaar,\u201d called a voice. War\u2019s senses were heightened at hearing that. \u201cWaaaaaar,\u201d repeated the voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHello?\u201d quizzed War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWaaaaaar!\u201d the voice answered back as its source shimmered into view. It was a heavyset man in a blue shirt and unbuttoned brown jacket, brown pants, a brown tie, a silk scarf, angled glasses, a brown hat, chains, and a flintlock pistol in a holster. \u201cWaaaaaar, it is I, Jacob&#8230;\u201d War immediately got him into a headlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWHO ARE YOU?!\u201d she bellowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFriggin\u2019 hey, lady!\u201d gasped the intruder. \u201cI\u2019m Jacob Marley!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA load of nonsense!\u201d roared War. \u201cJacob Marley\u2019s a Victorian Ghost and his chains were made of metal, not whatever lightweight material YOURS are made of! Besides, he\u2019s cold to the touch!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s more than one of us, you idiot!\u201d gagged the man. \u201cIt\u2019s not like Santa where we visit every jerk in one day!\u201d War then shoved the man away, then got a good look at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWait, aren\u2019t you that Linkara guy?\u201d she asked as the man recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s me,\u201d confirmed the man, \u201cthe host of&nbsp;<em>Atop the Fourth Wall<\/em>, where bad comics burn. Right now, some lady in yellow-green told me to snap you out of whatever mood you\u2019re in.\u201d He took his chains off and let them fall to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut you have your own show,\u201d remarked War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know,\u201d grumbled Linkara, \u201cbut it doesn\u2019t always produce a lot of money. I took the \u2018Jacob Marley\u2019 thing to help pay the rent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLook, I have a million problems right now,\u201d grunted War, \u201cand holidays aren\u2019t one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, we deal with a wide variety of people who need a good swift kick in the pants,\u201d replied Linkara, \u201cand your name was high on the list.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, I doubt you or your crew can help me,\u201d remarked War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re worried about your friend, Megumi, right?\u201d guessed Linkara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, one, the stress is on the FIRST syllable, not the second!\u201d snapped War. \u201cSecond, what could YOU know of her?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, Vyce DID have some files on when he tried to stop Vortech, failing miserably in the process,\u201d answered Linkara. \u201cHe got ticked when he heard who actually beat him when he possessed my ship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Story of my life,\u201d snarked War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe thing is, you need to trust her more,\u201d offered Linkara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI trust her just fine,\u201d argued War, \u201cI just don\u2019t trust myself around her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen I think I know who in my crew\u2019s gonna be Christmas Past for this one,\u201d chuckled Linkara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo! I\u2019m not suffering your \u2018three spirits\u2019!\u201d snapped War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t have much say about it, lady!\u201d called Linkara. \u201cNimue, beam me back and send in Harvey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConfirmed,\u201d replied an emotionless woman\u2019s voice. Linkara faded away as a lounge singer appeared. He looked a lot like Linkara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHarvey Finevoice, Ghost of Christmas Past, at your service, babe,\u201d he greeted, his Brooklyn accent coming on strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy are YOU the past?\u201d asked War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDunno, depends on your story,\u201d replied Harvey as he took a drag out of his cigarette. \u201cWhat was life like before you met Megumi?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;That actually starts a few centuries back,\u201d revealed War as the scene faded to a war-torn landscape with Vortonian bodies littering the ground. \u201cVortech was in the midst of slaughtering his people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, gruesome,\u201d winced Harvey. \u201cWhere were you when Vortech was taking his red-water bath?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was outside a cemetery, never actually going in closer to see one of my daughters,\u201d explained War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;You and I have more in common than the kid thought,\u201d sighed Harvey. \u201cHow old was she?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToo young,\u201d mumbled War. \u201cHer father left me after she died and I don\u2019t blame him. Our child was gone and I was a wreck. After he had finished exterminating his people, Vortech approached me and requested me to make a sword for him. He claimed that he could bring back the dead and give a perfect life when he got a hold of the Foundation Elements. Bringing the dead back? You bet I was going to accept. He gave me the skin from his face to work with and I created the Foundation Saber with it. I hid my true intentions from my fellow Horsemen until Megumi and her friends started the Vortech Wars. I was snapped out of Vortech\u2019s hold and joined Megumi\u2019s side. &#8230;Things became a lot simpler with Ichi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Ichi?\u201d asked Harvey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;M-Megumi, I said Megumi,\u201d grunted War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWar, where do you think you are right now?\u201d quizzed Harvey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m watching my past in HD with a guy who acts like he popped out of&nbsp;<em>Guys and Dolls<\/em>!\u201d snapped War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, that ain\u2019t it at all!\u201d argued Harvey. \u201cWell, my time is done. I think a realist will help you keep your head in the present. Nims, send Blue Boy down. I\u2019m done here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConfirmed,\u201d replied Nimue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, not putting up with this now!\u201d growled War as she stormed onto the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere you are!\u201d called X-PO. \u201cThe&nbsp;<em>Daedalus<\/em>&nbsp;is alongside our starboard bow! We\u2019re ready to&#8230;!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust get us out of here!\u201d snapped War. \u201cI\u2019m in no mood for Linkara\u2019s shenanigans!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut&#8230;!\u201d spluttered Quake Hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not Vyce\u2019s ship anymore!\u201d interjected War. \u201cIt\u2019s Linkara\u2019s! He calls it&nbsp;<em>Comicron-1<\/em>&nbsp;now.!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEr, guys,\u201d gulped Skyfall, \u201cbright light incoming!\u201d The light engulfed the ship and blinded everyone onboard. When everyone regained their vision, they noticed they weren\u2019t on the&nbsp;<em>Ruthless<\/em>&nbsp;any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat in the&#8230;?\u201d spluttered X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust a little something the Chizarans helped us cook up,\u201d explained a British voice. Everyone yelped to see an armless blue robot with a hover-skirt and a beak with a single red visor for his eyes. \u201cI beg your pardon,\u201d apologized the robot, \u201cdid I startle you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, we just like yelping in surprise all the time!\u201d snapped War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI do apologize,\u201d bid the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, the armless Pollo is my Ghost of Christmas Present?\u201d muttered War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, sure, attack me at my weak points, why don\u2019t you?!\u201d snarled the robot, Pollo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLook, I\u2019m in no mood for all this, so take a hike!\u201d growled War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, I don\u2019t know, I think we should at least see this,\u201d mused Pollo. \u201cBesides, I\u2019m not the one who brought you here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat are you&#8230;?\u201d quizzed Skyfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVECTOR PRIME\u2019S RUSTY CROTCH!\u201d shouted a voice. As everyone yelped, they realized that Optimus, Swalmu, Blackarachnia, and Richard were playing a game and Blackarachnia was about ready to toss the controller in rage. \u201cWHAT IS ALL OF THIS?! RED PLANT! GREEN PLANT! YELLOW PLANT! BLUE PLANT! WHAT IS THIS?! I HATE THIS GAME! I HATE IT SO MUCH!\u201d After her rant, she flopped to the couch and panted heavily. Just then, Megumi walked in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs&#8230;er&#8230;is everything okay?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t do it&#8230;\u201d whimpered Blackarachnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, you can,\u201d assured Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMegumi, NO ONE can do it,\u201d argued Richard. \u201cBelieve me, we all had our ragey moments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt IS possible!\u201d urged Megumi. \u201cI believe in you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;.Right then,\u201d declared Blackarachnia as she picked up the controller once more. \u201cThis is the Megumi shot!\u201d She pressed a button on the controller&#8230;the WRONG one! \u201cNO! I HIT END! I HIT END! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! FRAAAAAAAAAAACK! FRACK EVERYTHING! STUPID GAME CAN GO SUCK MY DAD\u2019S Y-INTERFACE! YOU PIECE OF SLAGGING GARBAGE! I\u2019LL FRACKING THROW YOU ALL INTO THE FIERY PIT!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaybe I made a bad choice with this one,\u201d mused Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSheesh, my girl sure knows how to pick them,\u201d muttered War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;YOUR girl?\u201d asked Pollo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;THE girl,\u201d replied War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWar, where do you think you are right now?\u201d quizzed Pollo. War arched her eyebrow at the question before everyone was blinded by white light again and arrived at a graveyard. War looked around and saw someone in a black cowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, so it was YOU, huh?\u201d snarled War. \u201cTaking on that ridiculous black-robed skeleton look again, are we, Death? I have to say, I\u2019m tired of all the cryptic garbage you and the&nbsp;<em>Comicron-1<\/em>&nbsp;crew are putting me through! Either you drop the mute act or we find out if you can really handle a beating!\u201d The figure did nothing, then unclasped the cowl to reveal a woman with a mix of Irish-American and Japanese descent. She wore a pink schoolgirl uniform with a normal amount of petticoats, significantly less than the amount After Academy uses. \u201c&#8230;Wait, aren\u2019t you one of Megumi\u2019s future twins?\u201d asked War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKaitlyn Hishikawa, at your service!\u201d greeted the woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy the pink uniform?\u201d quizzed Quake Hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got Dual Enrollment at After Academy and Chizara University,\u201d explained Kaitlyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;The color clashes with your hair,\u201d remarked Skyfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, shut up!\u201d snapped Kaitlyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d inquired X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just here to help out the timeline,\u201d replied Kaitlyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow so?\u201d asked War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, helping out a woman that\u2019s gonna be one of my godparents seems like a good start,\u201d mused Kaitlyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMe? A godmother?\u201d scoffed War. \u201cMegumi\u2019s gonna make the wrong choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConsidering your future and my past, I don\u2019t think so,\u201d argued Kaitlyn. She pointed to one of the graves. \u201cWhat\u2019s that over there?\u201d She indicated a gravestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Oh no, it\u2019s someone\u2019s gravestone!\u201d snarked War. \u201cThis whole thing was a waste of time! First, a fat comic book nerd from Minnesota tells me I\u2019m going on a journey to get my act together! Then, his lounge singer friend shows me the past, something that I\u2019ve always remembered! Next was the blue tin can who showed me the present! Wow, it\u2019s like I already LIVE in it, you twit! Now, we have you, the future! And what is the future?! &#8230;Mortals die. Of course they die! Even us immortals have a life-span! The instant the multiverse collapses and all life dies, SO DO WE! &#8230;We all die and leave when we shouldn\u2019t. So what\u2019s the point of showing me this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWar, where do you think you are right now?\u201d quizzed Kaitlyn. War arched an eyebrow, then followed her future goddaughter\u2019s finger to the gravestone. She got a better look at the name and went still. X-PO, Quake Hammer, and Skyfall got a look and realized what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018Here lies Ichika, daughter of Akira and War\u2019,\u201d Quake Hammer read aloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to be here!\u201d begged War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut you\u2019re always here!\u201d answered Kaitlyn. \u201cI didn\u2019t bring us here, YOU did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou have no goddamn idea what losing a child is like!\u201d sobbed War. \u201cWould Megumi say goodbye?! Would she?! Would it even be possible when there\u2019s someone out there like the one you lost?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkaa-san ISN\u2019T your daughter,\u201d countered Kaitlyn. \u201cYou have to accept that. You have to say goodbye to your daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow can you ask me that?!\u201d argued War. \u201cWhen your mother considered disbanding the F.N.S&#8230;I thought I was going to go through the feeling of losing Ichika all over again! Can you even imagine that?! &#8230;When Megumi and I fought over my methods, I was so mad! I was so mad that she left me again!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWar, Okaa-san is NOT who you want her to be,\u201d urged Kaitlyn. \u201cShe\u2019s never going to be that. You have to let Ichika go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen do you let this stuff go?\u201d sniffed War. \u201cWhen are you supposed to even START moving on?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat better time than now?\u201d asked Kaitlyn. \u201cWar, this is where you are right now. Where do you WANT to be? Where do you NEED to be?\u201d No one said a word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Ichika,\u201d began X-PO, \u201cI would have loved to have met you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs would I,\u201d agreed Skyfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd I,\u201d confirmed Quake Hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;She was a warrior of great honor,\u201d sighed War. \u201c&#8230;Goodbye, Ichika. Goodbye&#8230;thank you for being part of my life.\u201d She and her crew got up, then stood in silence, their eyes shut. They opened their eyes after a minute, then noticed the scene had changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe bridge?\u201d asked X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, this is an actual office,\u201d remarked Skyfall. \u201cThere aren\u2019t any lights or force-fields to indicate holograms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t care if Founding Day\u2019s tomorrow!\u201d called a voice. \u201cYou\u2019ve had enough extensions! You\u2019re getting an F, end of conversation!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA bit harsh, don\u2019t you think?\u201d asked another voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, that\u2019s just how things&#8230;\u201d Michael and Megumi then entered the office and goggled at the new people. \u201cGood God Almighty!\u201d breathed Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWAR!\u201d cheered Megumi. \u201cWh&#8230;When did you get back?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8230;I just got here,\u201d stammered War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, what on earth are you doing just standing around for?!\u201d called Michael. \u201cTomorrow\u2019s Founding Day! It\u2019s a time to be joyful and merry and spend time with the family and all that rot!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome on!\u201d urged Megumi. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a party going on at Castle Nerd Skull! Let\u2019s go!\u201d She and Michael ran out of the office, leaving a very bewildered&nbsp;<em>Ruthless<\/em>&nbsp;crew behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Yeah, family,\u201d sighed War happily. Then, she remembered. \u201cWait a minute!
