The rough deal between Hatoshi and his step-parents was done when the schoolboy decided to spend his resting, headed towards his room. Moreover, he sighed in relief as he stood in front of the wood-brown door. As he was about to grab the metal doorknob that was enlightened by blue light, his eye silently rotated to the left.
Hirata with a blossom-pink tank top shirt and a blue long pant glared at Hatoshi in a blunt stare. Hence, The schoolboy retrieved his hand back before he switched his full attention towards the moody girl with a reluctant smile.
"So how's your deal with my parents?" Hirata asked in an intimidating tone before concerned eyes colored her eyes, "Is it good or not. I hope it's good for you."
"It's fine, they seemingly agreed with my decision," Hatoshi mumbled in a relaxing demeanor
Afterward, Hirata crossed her arms and reluctantly chuckled towards her cousin who had been having a hard time dealing with his double life. Furthermore, she began to give him a puzzling look.
"Anyway, Hatoshi, what does it feel like to be an operator? Is it quite fun?" Hirata asked in an intriguing tone.
"Well fun, not exactly to be honest." Hatoshi embracingly admitted as he rubbed his head.
"What did you mean by that?"
"I mean doing the operating job was very pressuring sometimes especially on telling which location of the villains whereabout. Other things, well….not all heroes easily listen to my advice...hehe."
Then, Hirata hummed as her curiosity about Hatoshi's double life increased especially with her cousin slowly trying to throw away his attention from her. The more she glanced at the schoolboy, the more she widened her grin in dissatisfaction
While Hatoshi only furrowed his eyes in cautiousness from any skeptical question that Hirata would deliver at him. Those types of questions might have opened a clue of his cousin, figured out the truth of his double life especially when he swallowed his saliva.
"Of course, of course, Hatoshi." Hirata spoke before she slowly walked past her cousin, "Anyway, I am going to go downstairs for some snacks."
"Do you also want it for...your makeout time with Yuna." Hirata tauntingly asked as her eyebrows twitched up.
Hatoshi blushingly evaded his stare from Hirata as sheepishly chortled, convincing his cousin to pin her eyes right at him. But, the schoolboy swiftly regained his confidence with a single sigh of relief.
"Nah..no thank you for me ." Hatoshi politely refused, " Since, I am going to be busy with my art project."
"But for Yuna, just bring sushi," Hatoshi added.
"Okay then, good luck on your art project and...your romantic moment," Hirata spoke in an alluring tone.
Therefore, Hatoshi finally pressed the doorknob that opened him in access to go inside his room for spending this late afternoon with his art project and his close partner, Yuna. While Hirata steadily watched as the door of her cousin's room with another curious grin appeared.
Gunvalian underground base had been turned into a place where a mischievous experimental project occurred. Today's science project for The Distrunian was Sparror energy that he collected yesterday after the fierce battle was placed inside the bulky, jade bubble with a honeycomb motif. Furthermore, the bubble itself floated was gripped by clutches of the silver metal claws from left to right.
As for the experimental days, Gunvalian chose to use his true form since Kiri wasn't present at his base yet, only Jakan still in his undead Distrunian form, observed his partner experiment from afar. Moreover, The Distrunian locked his eyes towards the science object that furiously attempted to break free by heating up its body like a sun.
The force of the sun-like energy was able to create a widespread shattering line from up to down. It caught Gunvalian in surprise that raised his palm to summon a horizontal, cylinder hologram standing in the front line. The hologram shading of the cylinder dissolved in an instant, revealing a coal-black metal bar.
Therefore, Gunvalian slammed down his palm right at the steady, circular muzzle on the top and a quick reaction emerged. All the cracking lines on the barrier were patched in an instance as the trio claws pressed harder the ball. With an enhanced defense received, the bubble reluctantly unleashed a static shock that dimmed out the flaming energy like a broken lamp.
A satisfied smile of seeing a successful experiment was widely revealed through Gunvalian's sinister grin. The Distrunian excitedly extended his opened hand before he chortled in thrill. Jakon, who finished witnessing his friend's success, approached closer to him, but put his head down, hiding a pessimistic look in safety.
The thrilling excitement section for Gunvalian ended shortly with a sigh as Jakon arrived in an unamused furrow. Afterward, the green word bubble popped out from above like an old movie title greeting The Golden Distrunian.
"So, where is Hollow, I thought he wanted to join this activity." The sentence inside the word bubble spoke towards Jakon as Gunvalian took a glance at his old friend with a joyful smirk.
"That guy still fucking pissed towards Chemistra that….." Jakon bickered in a dubious tone, "He tried to destroy your….female robot with an intercourse way."
Gunvalian cheerfully chuckled as the word bubble inside started to roll like in the slot machine. While Jakon raised and stepped closer for getting a clearer vision on the next roll of the sentence.
"Yes, I am aware of that. Anyway, how about you? I heard that you lost against the Shaolin." The next sentence roll was smoothly done for Jakon eyes to read it.
"Still quite pissed that I can't stand a chance against a punch, but I am fine." Jakon murmured as clenched his fist in frustration, "Wish, if I am not in this undead state so I can defeat him easily."
Gunvalian gladfully smiled at Jakon who slowly washed away the frustration from ever taking his mind, especially resting down his hand. Moreover, The Golden Distrunian tauntingly smirked at his old friend that reminded himself he wasn't in his prime anymore.
A prime self that was bulkier, taller, and more muscular golden body as that picture popped out within Jakon's mind. However, that prime self-thought was wiped out when Jakon took another glance at his old friend. Then, The Golden Distrunian gladfully giggled, which made Gunvalian raise his eyebrows in confusion.
"Speaking about you, I see you slowly making Kiri into your new life partner, right?" Jakon guessed.
"Perhaps so. However, it's only just a plan since I am not sure that she will replace your position" Gunvalian word bubble rolled a new sentence once again. Steady unsureness unfolded within his green eyes as he frowned down.
The Golden Distrunian took notice of his old friends and slowly fell down to a depth of dilemma. A dilemma of choosing whether he should find a new life partner or keep the old one. Therefore, Jakon gave an encouraging smile that let Gunvalian raised his head in a sharp, curious look.
"Don't worry Gunvalian. That process takes time." Jakon comforted his old friend, "I am very gladful that the relationship progress with her is getting better each day."
Gunvalian was soon sluggishly washing away the gloomy dilemma expression with a sheepish chuckled. The word bubble decided to roll down for another new sentence that would be suitable for Jakon.
"Thanks for that praise, Jakon, I truly appreciate that." Gunvalian's word bubble sentence said ``onto Jakon."
"But, remember do not ever throw away your true self." Jakon warned with a deep tone, "Even though in your retirement that will soon come."
"Believe me, I never do that." The word bubble decided to make another roll for a newest sentence as Gunvalian formed a confident smile like a noble knight. Even though his gripping fist told otherwise with the little sight of trembling appeared onto him.
Thus, Gunvalian switched his attention fully towards his menacing science project as the flaming barely lightened up. He inhaled a humid air inside this sultry room and Jakon cautiously took a step back with skeptical thought got the best of him in a form of furrowing.
The aggressive heating up by the energy only gave a fascinated look towards Gunvalian especially with his malefic grinned. His thoughts swiftly captured a silhouette of his prime self. A prime self that had a more robotic feature such as the large limbs and the most favorable thing he added was towering stood up on the sea of silhouette corpses
A delightful smirk smoothly made its entrance on Gunvalian as he lashed down his head on the fiery energy, The longer he gazed at the energy, the more his clutching grips elevated on the bubble.
At last, Gunvalian succumbed to his sturdy obsession as both of his grips latched on the bubbling barrier that shone a blinding green light. Moreover, the blinding light also pierced through The Distrunian eyes like a light show. He joyfully laughed with the fiery energy forcefully lashed on a string that went through the inside of his body.
With a line of flaming strings that was being drained by Gunvalian body, he could feel his muscles on the thin arms compressed like a balloon. Even the muscle of his legs also grew larger that made The Distrunian gloriously chortled. Furthermore, his mind began to be overwhelmed by a series of compilations that boiled the unrelenting excitement to the core.
It began with the jaded silhouette of him called forth four of large limbs that scattered around on the ground with a single commanding gripped. A shrouded jaded energy levitated all the limbs by force and instantly flung towards the sorrowful Gunvalian.
However, the short compilation of merging was soon blitzed away and his mind was sent into a moment to the loss of his prime self. An orange silhouette with bull-like horn with his head only remained the half of it, stabbed through Gunvalian chest with a bold orange sword that caused The Distrunian to blast away a jaded energy through the open mouth.
The image of his defeat didn't last long as a swarming, jade energy incinerated those wonderful visions he wanted. A vision of Sparror, Zero, and Blue Winter head lay beneath his feets in the prime self. The prime self that glared to the ruined city with every building was broken to half or completely annihilated into dust.
Even a group of people with dismembered limbs such as hands, legs, and even their head flooded most of the city interior. Unfortunately, those visions met mesmerizing ends when a single blinding light exploded throughout the whole scene before it formed a soothing white light to the darkness.
A heavenly white vision of the time he comforted Kiri after her first defeat with Hollow by a warmful hug. Then, it blitzed away into a moment when both of them holding hands and focused their gaze at the Tv on the same day he flawlessly defeated Sparror.
The placid atmospheres soon brought upon a momentarily peacefulness within Gunvalian as he closed his eyes. However, those peaceful enjoyment gave a bad reaction to his absorbing body due to the bulky starting to leak a jaded energy that transferred through the inside the green barrier. Moreover, his enlarged muscle on every limb rapidly shrank down like a torn balloon.
A hurtful scream even appeared through Gunvalian due to him feeling a thundershock from jade electricity constricted every limb as the energy line kept going back to the barrier. The Distrunian grass color tears constantly fell down from his eyes socket with the electrocuting pain increasing in overtime.
Eventually, the feisty flaming energy presence was restored completely and furiously struck Gunvalian till he flew away from it's sight, vanishing the green energy too at the same time. Therefore, The Distrunian dropped down on the metal ground with his eyes wide open in devastation.
Jakon, who had been observing all the happenings, began to approach Gunvalian who still remained motionless, but able to witness the golden presence. With a little spark of disappointment, The Golden Distrunian gazed upon his old friend for the failure of not obtaining a power boost that most likely would bring the prime self.
"Yes, you can be kind and soft like a human, but it doesn't mean you have to throw away your life as a Distrunian." Jakon bickered in a deep tone, "That's why you failed to obtain that power, Gunvalian. Even in the peaceful place you wanted to go after destroying this planet, you must always remember who you are"
